Starting point is 00:00:00 community on earth. If you take that away and try to distill us just down to white folks, we'll be like Europe, an aging, slowly dying, former empire. The Roman Empire didn't survive because it didn't have enough strength in its diversity. It suppressed its diversity, and it died. If the U.S. wants to be the Roman Empire, keep voting the way you're voting, y'all. That's one of the people. Not only is she a racist, but she is an absolute bem.
Starting point is 00:00:30 too. That's one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. It's completely historically illiterate and it's embarrassing that she felt that that was a okay thing to say and then put it out online. Ignoring the racial part of it, I think I'm more offended by this stupidity of what she just said than I am the racism that is within it. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. That's Joy Reid, who clearly Harvard is meaningless. That's the kind of brain, the brain trust that Harvard produces. You have her and then you have what's his face, that pig kid, David Hogg. Those two are products of Harvard, some of the dumbest people I've ever seen. So first, welcome back. If you're joining us by listening to Restuarily or if you're watching the stream, Channel 347
Starting point is 00:01:16 direct TV, the chats at Rumble. You can also find us at X and Facebook. So I love history. I am a major history buff. And one of my favorite things is reading about ancient empires. and love reading about ancient Rome. And I watched, yes, I did watch the Hillsdale thing, the rise and fall of Rome. I've also been watching. I actually watched a thing last night that was about the construction of Roman roads
Starting point is 00:01:42 and how all roads literally did lead to Rome. But more so, to her point, she's saying that the U.S. isn't diverse enough and that's what is, and that lack of diversity is what killed Rome. That is a historical nonsense. sense, and here's why. In fact, it was too, you can, now, listen to me, it was too much. I don't mean that in the racial sense, because it comes down with having a shared identity.
Starting point is 00:02:11 This is one of the ways that America learned from Rome's mistake, and our founders learned from Rome's mistake. Because at some point, there was admittance of, I mean, everybody got Roman citizenship. everybody had Roman citizenship. And I don't know if people realize that. The Roman emperor at the time, Caracalla, was the one who, you know, that's the sacking happened on his watch. But every free person in the empire got citizenship. And previous emperors also did that.
Starting point is 00:02:50 And at first it was looked at like it was Rome's strength because they would conquer and then incorporate. And that was really different in those times. They didn't just leave something conquered. And they didn't force them to adopt every single thing that they did within Rome, but they did incorporate it. They incorporated it, namely, so that they could say, okay, you're a conquered. You have to now give us X amount of foot soldiers.
Starting point is 00:03:13 It's one of the reasons why they had the biggest armies is because that was part of that incorporation. But there was never any diligence in creating that. singular identity. Everyone talks about a Roman identity, but when we look in history, it was kind of all over the place. People wanted to consider themselves Roman, but there has to be a shared loyalty, a shared identity. And that was just one of the things. And that's like one part of it that went, that went into it, is that, you know, there was citizenship given to every single person. The overspending was crazy. The amount of spending was just. just even on Caesar's time and before was entirely irresponsible.
Starting point is 00:04:01 And then you had a lot of instability because there was a lot of corruption. There was a lot of intrigue. And the other thing, too, was you were losing a lot of traditional values. And, you know, the Eastern Empire was already starting its rise. And then you had the barbarians and you had the Goths. And you had, no, not like the cure goths, but like, you know, the Visigoths. You had the Goths. And then you had the Huns that were all coming in.
Starting point is 00:04:23 So there were a lot of things that factored into it, but I think one of the biggest was this strain on or an absence, a strain caused by the absence of a shared identity is one of the things that played into it. And the idea of being a Roman and what that meant in being a member of that empire was diluted as a result of that. In the United States, it's one of the things that our founders did differently. they didn't make a shared identity on a race or a religion or anything else, but it was about that, that animating spirit of liberty. So they, they, if you want to be free, then we are kinsmen. And that's how the founders set this up. And then the Roman Empire, they didn't even do that. They're just like, okay, you're here.
Starting point is 00:05:11 You get a Roman citizenship. You get a Roman citizenship. And the absence of those shared, a shared value led to an absence of cohesion. it led to instability. It led to a complete dearth of cultural values, the whole nine yards. And there was so much internal fighting as a result of that. Rome, by the time the goths came in and sacked it, Rome had already sacked itself. That was just the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back.
Starting point is 00:05:44 So everything that she's saying is literally actually the opposite of that. that created that the fall of Rome. Now, in the United States, this is where this communist, this cultural warfare comes in. You know, the critical race theory. Everybody says DEI. DEI is an offshoot of critical race theory, CRT, which is the Frankfurt School of Marxism, right? It is an absolute Marxist theory. And I wrote about this 15 years. years ago when I when Andrew Breitbart was still alive and I was working with Andrew Breitbart Derek Bell who was a prominent academic and he was at Harvard he was kind of a mentor to Barack Obama and I remember at the time we had this video of
Starting point is 00:06:38 Barack Obama hugging Derek Bell and I thought it was pretty significant the media tried to you know bury it and act like it wasn't a significant thing but we're like there's a new there's an introduction of a new tactic here it's critical theory. It's been it's been exploding on college campuses since the 60s and here's how it's affecting you now. All of this stuff that you see now with DEI and wokeery all came from that. Every bit of it. It all came from CRT. And it started on American College campuses in the 60s. Derek Bell was a huge proponent of it. And that gets into that that was a tactic to identify isolate and destroy
Starting point is 00:07:22 those shared cultural values by turning everyone against each other based on intersectionality. So that's where all that comes in. Oh, if you have two women, if one woman's, a black woman and a white woman, well, she has one more intersectional box to check than the white woman.
Starting point is 00:07:38 So now she has more power. Ah, but if this chick is gay, then she may have, they may equal out then. But if one of them's trans, then you see what I mean? It's like a constant one-uppance. So instead of focusing on shared cultural values, and that shared identity that's based on liberty,
Starting point is 00:07:53 you're now weaponizing all of these other variables to destroy that. It's an ingenious way to go after the thing that really did separate us from the Roman Empire was that singular shared identity. We had something around which we could rally and be loyal. And that was, we are free to be free. And this is where you come to do it at. That's why you can be from anywhere and you can be a kinsman in freedom. And so that's why what Joy Reid just said there is so incredibly embarrassing.
Starting point is 00:08:24 I'm embarrassed for her. Can you imagine making a video and showing your ass like that with how stupid you are? I mean, there's no excuse. She's like a 50-something-year-old woman. There's no excuse for you to have the money that you have, be on television and have the internet, and then not understand the basic concepts of history like this. I mean, that's truly something. But that's the thing.
Starting point is 00:08:47 And you know what? when you are removing the recognition of that shared cultural value that is your identity, because when you think about, well, what does it mean to be an American? At its most just distilled core, what does it mean to be an American? Free. Freedom. I think that's what ultimately everyone would come down to, yeah? Freedom.
Starting point is 00:09:14 So that is the American identity. Well, when you start weaponizing all of these other things around it and attacking it, destroying it, doing this reinventing the Mao cultural revolution with going after and attacking our history, like they did with our founders. Oh, our founders were imperfect. Thus, everything that they have done is imperfect. Well, that's illogical on its face because all I've got to do is read the Bible. I mean, David was imperfect. He came from one of the most imperfect lines in all of mandum. I mean, David, who sent your eye to be killed so he could get your eye's wife.
Starting point is 00:09:49 David. And from him came the Messiah. So that completely blunts that argument. But they don't care. They want you to be separated from God so you don't understand that. And they also want you to turn on your fellow man and ignore that animating spirit of liberty so that we can destroy the social cohesion and obscure the identity of what it means to be American. Now, Rome did that to itself.
Starting point is 00:10:13 because they were allowing every time taking Harry and giving everybody citizenship with just completely unfettered immigration, not even just immigration. It wasn't people even coming to Rome. Rome would go elsewhere and they would conquer a land. Oh, you're Romans now. Here's your citizenship.
Starting point is 00:10:28 You're incorporated. Your incorporation was smart, but everything happened afterwards was not. So there's the, she doesn't even understand, she doesn't even understand the warning cry of the fall of the Roman Empire and what that means
Starting point is 00:10:43 or what it looks like in current times because she's just focused on the racial aspect of it. Immigration is a variable. And that's, and racists like her don't understand that. And I'll say it again, immigration is a variable because the identity, once again,
Starting point is 00:11:01 is about being free. It doesn't matter what your skin color is. It doesn't matter what your religion is. Do you want to be free? And we are founded on Christian values, but we're singular in that we do not demand that you worship as we worship or do what we do in order to accept the perks of freedom for the lack of a better way to put it. I mean, it's just one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.
Starting point is 00:11:31 I'm like, golly, has she ever read a book? I don't know. But it's just truly stunning to me. But I had to talk about that. I had to talk about that. And the other part too is, you know, they were bringing in all of these, the, the, the, the goths and all of the, it sounds funny to say it now because I immediately think of, you know, like a hot topic. So actually it's email. I immediately think of like the cure or something. But they, the way that they ended up managing it and the twilight of their empire, just hastened that the conditions that created the fall. They'd already sack themselves. So it's just a dumb, completely dumb thing from her. Now, a couple of things that I want to make sure we're touching on. So we had the White House Correspondence dinner.
Starting point is 00:12:15 We didn't go. Did you go? Or did you watch? I don't watch it. I felt like we used to watch it before or like we would pay attention. But apparently it was nobody watched it. Nobody cared because POTUS wasn't there and nobody from the administration attended. They had a club that launched that night.
Starting point is 00:12:36 It's a member's only club that's in Georgetown and you can pay a fee and you can hobnob with the administration. I don't know how I feel about that, but that launched the same night as the White House Correspondence Dinner. I know the press secretary was there and there were other people that were there. But they didn't, I mean,
Starting point is 00:12:51 did they even have a comedian host it? I don't think they did. So what was the point of it? Summer is all about making great memories. Backyard barbecues, road trips, lake days, even just relaxing in a hammock with a good book. Spending time with friends and family,
Starting point is 00:13:06 catching sunset views. But if you're living with pain, those future memories can be stolen. from you. It's kind of hard to enjoy the simple moments when you're in pain.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss.
Starting point is 00:14:18 It's time for Dana's Quick Five. I didn't even know this could happen. California is running out of license plate numbers. The license plate sequence that starts next year is kicking off. The one that began in 1980, it began with one AAA-O-O-O-O. and now Oh, I'm not even reading all this It's 9 UB, I'm not good
Starting point is 00:14:40 No, it's, no, not even Anyway, I didn't even know you could run out of It's what happens when you give illegals A bunch of licenses. Oh, dang, look at you. Hollywood film and television productions. Everyone's saying it feels empty. Is it in a death spiral?
Starting point is 00:14:56 Aw, filming in Los Angeles Is it a historic low? Remember how they were talking about implementing more tax credits and they never did it and people were mad. Yeah. So they said that even in the back lots,
Starting point is 00:15:09 there's nobody there. Nobody even around some of the bigger ones. Hollywood is facing intense competition for production in Atlanta, New York, places that do tax credits elsewhere. A lot of people have been coming to Texas. It actually creates money. But, man, these policies are not good for business.
Starting point is 00:15:27 They said shoot days declined over 22%. That's wild. Also, aren't things being, made differently? Things are being shot different. Production's different now. It's very different. Virginia Garfrey, one of Epstein's most prominent abuse survivors apparently dies by suicide. Now, there were a lot of questions surrounding this because she had said at one point, I'm never going to commit suicide, etc. But Lorraine noted over the weekend that she and her husband apparently split. He took the kids. And so she was like already going through it.
Starting point is 00:15:58 And that might kind of, that's sad. It's very sad. Southwest Airlines, oh my gosh, why? What would you do if you were on this flight? A Southwest Airlines passenger, stripped naked, defecated on the seat as the plane landed. It was a flight to Chicago. It was a female passenger. They'd have called the cops to Midway because this lady was going crazy. Yeah, you better burn, just burn the plane because it's just no good at that point.
Starting point is 00:16:28 They had to take it out of service for cleaning. I hopefully with flames. That's nasty. They said that, and then the last month, they almost hit a jet, a taxiing jet to sun glare, apparently. But they, man, they handled it. Can you imagine being on that plane, though? I don't know. I keep seeing these videos that people who are told to get off the plane because they're being disruptive.
Starting point is 00:16:49 And then they fight and threaten to, you know, delay the whole plane. I'm surprised that passengers don't intervene as much as, as I just, at all. I'm actually kind of surprised over all of that. I'm always going to carry. I will always tell people to carry. have no problem using lethal force at all whatsoever, but I also realize, too, you know, it's good to have diversification with any kind of defensive implements, especially when, you know, you have gun-free zones, and we would all like to not have to deal with those, but, you know,
Starting point is 00:17:16 unfortunately in the real world, we do. Or if you're a college student and you're living on your own going to school, but you're not old enough to carry a pistol yet, this is where that kind of diversification comes into play. Because burn a gun doesn't require background checks. It can be shipped right to your door. It's legal in all 50 states. No waiting period. It's It shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can disable threats from up to 50 feet away. And you have two different versions specifically for self-defense. They have rifles as well. But this, I think, you know, for this purpose, the Burna SD or the Burna CL, the CL stands for compact launcher.
Starting point is 00:17:48 This, the CL is also smaller, 30% smaller than the SD. But there's no recoil. There's no time off for, you know, taking for target acquisition. And it's an effective deterrent. And it also gives you some form of defense when you are. disarmed by, you know, restrictions or regulations, what have you.

Starting point is 00:18:17 Of course we should be talking about how, yeah, if, you know, Speaker Johnson got his way, it wouldn't be possible not just for gay people to get married, but for straight people to get divorced, let alone like birth control or how he would want to regulate porn or whatever. people, most people would have a problem with. But what the hell is he talking about? I mean, if Speaker Johnson got his way, all the gay people would be just illegaled. That's, he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer guys. That's the former mayor's secretary, new mom, vice admiral of the canoe fleet over a camp, Wimpy Tonka, poop booty juice. Don't, don't credit, wait, hold up, don't criticize
Starting point is 00:19:00 as I say his name because our former illustrious president who had all of his brain cells, all of them. That's how he said his name. And that's the gold standard by which I operate, ladies and gentlemen. Dana Lash with you, welcome back. We're at the bottom of this first hour. He says that it's, they should, that Johnson was, he was going to make it to where gay people couldn't do anything and straight people couldn't get divorced. and yeah, I don't, I don't know what he's basing that off of.
Starting point is 00:19:33 Imagine, like, you just do a live stream and say whatever the hell you. Can you imagine if I actually took to air not knowing anything about which I was discussing and just rambled and just incoherently pulled stuff out of the ether just to suit whatever, you know. Yeah, I would be held, I mean, they go with me all the time. I've been on air for three hours every day for years. I have a beat reporter assigned to me at Media Matters. Yes, they would find out something if I said anything incorrect. If they don't even like it, they go after me.
Starting point is 00:20:01 I mean, to hell with it being incorrect. But if you're a Democrat, you can just... Yeah, well, Mike Johnson's going to make all the... He's going to illegal all the gays and that. And the straight people can't get divorced or have white claws. It's going to be so bad. You imagine having a Fourth of July with no white claws so bad. But that's what it's like listening to him.
Starting point is 00:20:27 Every time he opens his mouth to give it a pretty... perspective. It's like drunk without the alcohol. It's what you feel like. So if you've never had a drop, it feels like that. You're listening and you're like, am I sober? Is this supposed to make sense? I don't know. It's what it feels like. But, but, you know, he's, he's trying to get, he's working hard on behalf of the Dems because guys, they're going to have to, they're going to have to try to talk to dudes. You know, the party that was like toxic masculinity is now going, wait, but wait, We messed up. Oops.
Starting point is 00:21:00 That's where they're at right now. So they said that they're spending $20 million trying to connect with dudes by studying their syntax, S-Y-N-T-X. Yeah, whatever that means. That's what they want to do. Audio sound like 9. Listen to this. This is one strategist literally saying exactly this.
Starting point is 00:21:23 Yeah, good questions. One, let me save the folks from the Times and all the other great. you know, print outlets some time. If you dig in on what Democrats are researching right now, you're going to find a lot of silly stuff. You're going to find people asking a lot of questions, people asking about syntax, and do I drop the G from this word and this and that, and it's going to be a lot of that.
Starting point is 00:21:44 So let me just warn everybody. That process is going to be very obnoxious for this 40-something. I would also say, we're really talking about young men, right? Young men who Democrats have not figured out a consistent pitch. They guys have attacked them. They're toxic. And then women can be men. I mean, you know, you guys have kicked them around for the better part of 40 years.
Starting point is 00:22:06 Whether it was the Title IX stuff, whether it was promoting women over men in the name of false equality. Whatever it was, you guys have attacked dudes for endlessly for forever. Toxic masculinity. Dudes that are young Gen Z are terrified to even date chicks because of everything that the left has done. So, yeah, $20 million. they think is going to help a band-aid that error. So after impuging their characters, again, for the better part of 40 years, now Democrats are going, wait, we messed up, hold up.
Starting point is 00:22:39 Here's an excerpt. For now, Democratic donors and strategists have been gathering at luxury hotels to discuss how to win back working class voters, commissioning new projects that read like anthropological studies of people from far away places. The prospectus for one new $20 million effort obtained by the Times aims to reverse the erosion of democratic support amongst young men, especially online. It's codenamed Sam, short for speaking with American men, a strategic plan, and promises investment to, quote, study the syntax, language, and content that gains attention and virality in these spaces. and it recommends buying advertisements in video games amongst other things. All they know is that younger dudes play games and they're like,
Starting point is 00:23:29 something, something games. You can't just buy an ad. You know why the Democrats have not been successful in gaming? Because they don't play them. And Republicans haven't been successful because there are a bunch of damn cowardly tipper gores who want to put explicit lyrics on everything. These people that attack video games, oh my gosh, it's like I'm watching Tipper Gore 2.0. for the love.
Starting point is 00:23:54 No, that you can't fake it. You cannot fake it. You're either in that community or you're not. That's not one. That is not a community that you can fake it with. But what is this to study the syntax? What does that mean, Kane? What the hell does that mean?
Starting point is 00:24:08 What does it even mean? That's the language. They want to hijack it. They want to understand it. But they're acting like they're foreign, like species. Right. Like we have to talk like these aliens. How you do, fellow kids?
Starting point is 00:24:22 Well, hello, fellow male. They tried that once with that ad. Remember that ad where that, they all look like rapists. They all look like soft rapists. That Democrat ad, oh, man, hang on, hang on, hang on. Their version of masculine. Yeah, yeah, I'm a masculine man or something like that. What, oh, da-da-da-da-da.
Starting point is 00:24:46 Is this, is this it? Oh, I got to find it. No, there's one where it's the voting one. They came out with one ad where it was like men that were bullying their women into voting. And then there was the one where you had this one guy who, he looked like a bottom. And he was sitting on a truck going, I'm a manly man. I'm like, no, you're not. No, you're not.
Starting point is 00:25:06 You're only the only person who probably buys more lube than you is Diddy. No, you're not. You know what ad I'm talking about, though? I'm sorry. I can't just now, and every single dude in that ad, they looked, it was, they were all terrifying. that was the that was the attempt that they had I guess at trying to talk to dudes and it horrified dudes yes the uh that ad that Steve just put on there yes that is it that is the ad that is literally it and I mean again it's also the party that had David Hogg as their vice chair yeah they had those weird at like I like steak I'm a man man like bourbon therefore I like bourbon so you're gonna think I'm I'm a man. Like you guys, Juan's putting it up for you.
Starting point is 00:25:53 My favorite was the guy who was sitting like a pageant queen on the back of a truck. Yeah. And then you have the one guy. I can't believe that they got these lines out without laughing to death. I think he actually said, I eat trannies for breakfast. If you remember that line, he said, I eat trannies. Play, yeah, it was the guy in the cowboy head. I eat trinies for breakfast.
Starting point is 00:26:11 Yeah, man enough to deadlift 500. Shut on. Shut on. You think I'm afraid to rebuild a carburetor? I eat carburetors for breakfast. Like the one guy in the orange shirt, he's sitting like a pageant queen. That guy looks like he beats his wife.
Starting point is 00:26:27 That guy looks like that guy right there. And then who's the prospector? Where the hell does this guy come from? They just got me out of the valley. I was prospecting for gold. But this is what? I mean, and look, he ripped his sleeves off. You know he went to like urban outfitters and got that shirt.
Starting point is 00:26:43 That guy, his arms went, but this guy right here. Who, can I just say? What man sits like this? I mean, it's rhetorical, but none of them do. Look at him. He's like tweaking. This guy. I sit like that when I...
Starting point is 00:26:55 He's in an orange polo and he's sitting on the back of a truck and he's turned and he's got his hands on his leg. Like he's a pageant queen. And he's like, oh, you better believe I'm a man or I'm going to beat you. That's his whole aura. Is that guy. I'm going to beat you vibes from that? Well, yeah. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:27:15 The silence of the lambs. It puts the lotion in the basket. He's totally giving you. me those vibes. I said a little like that. And then you've got like the DMX one of me who's sitting there like, I'll braid the whatever out of my daughter's hair. And I'm just like, shut up. What is the matter with you? No dudes talk like this. They just do it. Right. I mean, if you have to sit here and tell people that you're a manly dude, men know this. Men are, men know immediately that you're not. And Democrats are like, the prospector kills me every time I see him because the shirt
Starting point is 00:27:42 is just over the top. God love him. But I'm just trying to understand why Democrats think that they have to spend $20 million because I'm pretty sure this ad was several million dollars. How much do you think that ad was to make, Kane? Those are all actors. From a production standpoint? It looks about, what, 8,000 won. Probably get that done with about $8,000 because there's no names in it.
Starting point is 00:28:04 So you're not paying them much at all. So maybe $15,000 tops. Totally looks like California that they were in. But they probably spent a million on this. It's like $15,000 production. They had it well in that ripped off shirt for the prospector. They had to go, you know, they had a good. probably get him that shirt at urban outfitters.
Starting point is 00:28:21 They gave him nuggets, gold nuggets. He got so mad his sleeves just poof, came right off. They shot out the side, like projectiles and that guy. That guy was the meanest, one of them all. But this is what Dems, my point is that Dems did this ad, this guy right here, look at his sleeves. I'm sorry, that's fake. Why do you cut yourself? Why do you just like put a wife beater on, man?
Starting point is 00:28:42 They paid him in mining equipment. I bet he hates himself now. You know that. And the way that he moved, that dude's an actor. and I'm all for it, but if you're going to wear a shirt like that, I feel like, you know, after we lost Joan Rivers, I feel like I need to rise to that occasion and fill that need from time to time the best way that I can, knowing that I'm nowhere in your clothes to her brilliance. But someone's got to step in and talk about this. Like, the hell, I see that and I'm like, what happened to your sleeves? Did your muscles get so mad? They blew them off? Like, what happened? I don't get it. Stop. That guy's an actor. They're all actors. Like, there was an article that talked about how they were all hired from an agency. These Pinnocels. These Pinnocels. none of these people are real. This guy probably never run a damn bike in his life. And he's like, I'm working on my bike. And he's got
Starting point is 00:29:24 his, you know, he probably don't even know what his tools are. The whole point is that Democrats tried this before. They spent they did this ad. They did like three ads last cycle. And how did they show men? The first one was they did an ad where they were trying to show conservative men, Republican
Starting point is 00:29:40 men. Like they were going to beat their wives if they didn't, if they didn't vote for Trump, right? For the love. And then they're like, well, I guess we better walk. back. We need to appeal to men instead of, I guess, making them look like they're horrible people. And so they did this ad that made them look like they're horrible people. The most unlikable actors. It's like they went to the agency. Yes, give me the most unlikable actors you have. I want women to flinch when they see them on the screen. That's what I want.
Starting point is 00:30:07 That's what we're going for. Yes, Kane? I think they literally thought, let's get a cross-section of what we think MAGA looks like. And we're going to message that way. Like we're going to going to message as though we're reaching out to the maga crowd. I mean, it's just so shallow. Yes, I can deadlift this and then I can braid my daughter's hair. Like one excludes the other. I don't think he quite understand the concept of chivalry. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:30:34 It just, I can't stand this. So they're spending 20 million donor dollars. Let me clarify that. So Democrats get donations. So the people who have been donating to the Democrat Party, whatever brain truck, brought you those ads. Those are the people that are going to be trying to refine their messaging to dudes. Oh, this is, I want them to, no, you want them to do this. We want them to do this. I'm just, picture it. Content gold. Oh my gosh, we're going to make so much fun of this. It's
Starting point is 00:31:08 going to be insane. And if they, and if they have Secretary Newmom, Vice Admiral of the Canoe Fleet, Rear Vice Admiral of Canoe Fleet Camp Wimpy Tonka. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Booty. just if they have him spearheading this oh please for the love of all things holy let this happen i don't ask for a lot no hold up i asked for a dotson for my birthday and i didn't get one so at least give me the and i asked it for wick my rescue dog i was like he needs a dog it makes so much because he does wink he does um i didn't get that so can i have this can i have this mother's day was last month like earlier this month it's it's not over yet i can still get like a belated mother's day so
Starting point is 00:31:46 this could happen and we could see have poop booty juice leading this and the messaging would be endless. Oh my gosh, guys. Like I am here for the summer of sis. Think about the last movie that you saw that inspired you and kept you thinking long after the credits

Starting point is 00:33:15 about the state of our union. I'm finding myself pretty scared about a lot of things, scared about losing my rights as a woman, scared about losing my right to vote as a woman, scared about losing autonomy over my body as a woman, scared of my parents' social security checks, scared of food banks running out of food and not being able to replenish because they're no longer getting federal funding. I love the tragedy theater that these people on the left that they engage in. I mean, she's saying all of this stuff. Like losing my right to vote as a woman. What does that even mean?
Starting point is 00:33:53 Like, how is your right to vote under threat? Yeah, it's just rhetorical. It's stupid. Stop fear-mongering people. I mean, that's a big B move. Stop fear-mongering people. I'm like, worried, I'm going to lose my bodily autonomy. Oh, like with COVID, when you made your stupid little videos and you were out dancing in your yard,
Starting point is 00:34:13 telling everyone to get injections like that, you know, where you were going along with your party's ideology of no bodily autonomy and you were demanding under threat of penalty that everybody get injected with some experimental weird juice that? I mean, you know, like pick your flavor. Like, what are you going to be for today? You're for bodily autonomy now, but you weren't under COVID. How cute that that changes because your principles are in sand. How so nice that is. I mean, that's Kevin Bacon's wife. And it makes me question Bacon. Kevin Bacon, you know?
Starting point is 00:34:47 Because, like, he was the one, everybody who played six degrees of Kevin Bacon, where you were at least six people, everybody was no more than six people away from Kevin Bacon, right? Now I'm like, do we want to be any closer? Because, like, is he like her? But she did that. She did all these social media videos during all lockdown,
Starting point is 00:35:05 like telling everybody, you're going to get your own hot with your mouth, did all those videos and lectured people and supported the mandatory moves of government against individuals as it pertained to masking and school and, you know, opening businesses and distancing and all that stupid stuff. But this idea that I've been hearing this forever, you're going to lose your right to vote. You're going to, no, but you do lose it with actual Democrats. That's for damn sure.
Starting point is 00:35:35 And you can lose your life, too, because of their policies.

Starting point is 00:36:45 972 Patriot promo code Dana for that free month of service. Good afternoon. I am Corporal Carly McCann Provincial Public Information Officer for the Nova Scotia RCMP. Thank you all for being here today. Bonjour, I'm the capital of Carly McCann, a general of information public collage in
Starting point is 00:37:02 New Calais. Merci de your presence today. First, I acknowledge that we are in Migmoggi. the traditional and unseeded ancestral territory of the Mi'amah people. I also recognize that African Nova Scotians are a distinct people whose histories, legacies, and contributions have enriched that part of McMaggy, known as Nova Scotia, for over 400 years. This is the equivalent of throwing the Virgin in the volcano to appease the fire gods.
Starting point is 00:37:26 That's exactly what that is. So that's the police. They were holding a press conference on missing kids. Yeah. Yeah. They were holding a press conference on two missing kids. And they started off with a land. acknowledgement.
Starting point is 00:37:40 Shut up. I don't care what stupid land you're on. That's so dumb. You're talking about missing kids. First, we can't get started until we acknowledge that we're on the missing lands of the Lilliputian people. And we have to thank the Lilliputians for allowing us to have this press conference here before we start talking about the missing kids, which are actually not as important
Starting point is 00:37:59 as acknowledging the Lilliputians. That's how dumb this sounds. You're talking about missing kids, like little kids, a six-year-old and a four-year-old. They've been missing a rural Canada for four days. And they had rescuers combing the woods looking for them. And it is the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. That's the RCMP that she mentioned. And it's, they had helicopters, everything.
Starting point is 00:38:27 But they could not start until they did a land acknowledgement. That, these are not serious people. I have literally never hurt. This is such, it's a performative theater. It is performative theater. You have time is critical. Two kids are missing. Families have their hearts broken.
Starting point is 00:38:52 And this stooge, Broad gets up there. Oh, we're gonna do a lot. What? What? This doesn't even make any sense. Is it like, she sounds like a hostage video. That's so, that is, I'm just, shocked. I don't know, man.
Starting point is 00:39:13 Can you imagine if you're the family and you've got, you know, your kids are missing and you have the, the police lady get up there and go, well, we recognize that we are on the land of the Lilliputians and, you know, that's what, that's, that's crazy. It's, they didn't start up talking about the kids. They started talking about that. I mean, again, it's performative as I'll get out. It's so incredibly performative. I don't know. I don't know how long that lady's been on the forest or not, but good heavens. I just shocked me. It shocked me.
Starting point is 00:39:52 I don't understand the land acknowledgments. Nobody cares about land acknowledgement. Everybody stole land from everybody. And you didn't steal it. It was conquered. You went in and you either moved and acclimated or you got conquered. People have been conquered all throughout history. Whenever anybody talks about Mount Rushmore, well, guess what?
Starting point is 00:40:07 The Lakota took it from somewhere. Who did you steal it from? Lakota stole it. They took them from Chibawa. Where did they take it before that? I mean, it's so stupid. Just quit. What does any of that have to do with missing kids?
Starting point is 00:40:24 Sorry, we have to pay the indulgence of mentioning these people before we can start talking about the bigger story of literal missing children. And you wonder why Canada is circling the crapper. That's why. Good heavens. Welcome back. Daniel Lash with you at top of this third hour. And you can listen, terrestrial across the country, Channel 347 direct TV. The chats at Rumble.
Starting point is 00:40:50 The Maryland man, I like saying it because Cain rolls his eyes. That innocent Maryland father. You know the van that he was driving, those people in when we played that video? I think it was like earlier this week, right, the video footage of him in the vehicle. And he had eight people in the car. And it was registered to a known human trafficker. Yeah, so the guy who owns the vehicle told the DOJ that he actually paid Kilmar Brago Garcia to transport illegal aliens from Texas all across the country.
Starting point is 00:41:22 So he was a human trafficker. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it's probably a criminal illegal alien who's an MS-13 gang member. Gang-bang and duck, just saying. So, yeah, of course he was. We all knew that. We didn't need an official word from the DOJ. Hey, this guy who's here in the country illegally is driving a vehicle owned by human trafficker. Wow. Gee, I wonder what he's doing. And he's got eight people in the car and they
Starting point is 00:41:47 don't have any luggage. Wow. I really, I wonder what's up with that. He's just driving him to Waterburger. Man, they're just going to go to Waterburger. That's all. Juan's shown you. So this footage, the car that this dude's in, that's Abrago Garcia at the wheel, the car that he is in is literally owned by a known, well-known human trafficker. And the well-known human trafficker verbatim told the Department of Justice, and this was released by Pam Bondi, that he paid
Starting point is 00:42:17 Kilmar Obrigo Garcia to transport illegal aliens all around the country. This is the guy that Democrats fell all over themselves on to go and have margaritas with. And this is the same guy who beat his wife like millions of times. had protective orders.
Starting point is 00:42:37 Tennessee Star broke the story. There's more. The DOJ, they're investigating Abrego Garcia, obviously. They offered limited immunity to the guy who owns the vehicle. So he'd tattle on him. They, the guy his name is
Starting point is 00:42:56 Jose Ramon Hernandez-Raez and DHS confirmed that he is the owner of that 2001 Chevy Silverado, that Abrago-Garades. Garcia was driving in the video that you see, it's 2022. And he was offered limited immunity. Hernandez-Raez was previously arrested in 2019.
Starting point is 00:43:17 He was already convicted of human trafficking a couple of times. He was sentenced to 18 months behind bars, deported, told not to come back for three years. Hernandez-Reyes came back anyway, illegally re-entered, got this vehicle and has been helping to traffic humans all across the United States, obviously violated the terms of a sentence and that he that in abrega garcia he hired him and paid him to help him traffic people around the country and the el salvadorian abrega garcia boy maryland dad right all of this stuff just comes just keeps dripping out drip drip drip drip keeps dripping out and uh if you remember so he was stopped by tennessee highway patrol in 2022 that's that video
Starting point is 00:44:08 He was trained. He didn't have a driver's license. Eight people himself included, or nine himself included. And this was the Biden era FBI. They were told the agency, they had to release him. The FBI told DHS that they had to release him. And there were troopers, as you heard in the video, we've played it before, that knew that he was trafficking. They're like, this guy's a trafficker. That's, that's
Starting point is 00:44:40 what's happening here. You know this is what's happening. He's a trafficker. And he had cash on him, almost $2,000 in cash. And Hernandez-Raez has been convicted, like I said, for trafficking before. From Texas to all over the United States, various parts of the country. This is the Maryland dad that they want
Starting point is 00:45:00 to protect. Can you, I just absolutely no shame. And I keep seeing the due process. It's due process, due process, due process. He had his due process. It's time for us to have ours. Just wild.
Starting point is 00:45:17 Now, a couple of other things. Can we get some of this Biden audio? Biden was on the view today. Where's his mush mouth? Which one? Because I've got two cuts here. Which is the mushyest? Let's do audio some by 27.
Starting point is 00:45:32 Listen to this. He's talking about why Harris lost. Why do you think the vice president lost and were you surprised? I wasn't surprised, not because I didn't think the vice president's most qualified person to be president. She is. She's qualified to be president of the United States of America. But I was surprised. I wasn't surprised because they went the root of the sexist route, the whole route. I mean, this is a woman, she's this, she's that. I mean, really,
Starting point is 00:46:02 I've never seen quite as successful and a consistent campaign. undercutting the notion that a woman couldn't lead the country and a woman of mixed race. What does that have to do with anything? Nothing. That is some of the stupidest stuff I've ever heard. It had nothing to do with that. It was her qualified. I mean, I'm not going to relitigate it.
Starting point is 00:46:24 I would literally rather beat my head against a rock on a riverbank repeatedly until it's nothing but mash before I have to talk about Kamala Harris again. She, she, it was, she's just horrible. the qualifications, it's not there. It's an embarrassment. Stop trying to make her a thing. This guy can barely talk. You have to listen close to even hear what he says. Audio somebody 26.
Starting point is 00:46:48 He says he could have beaten Trump again. No, he couldn't have. No, he couldn't have. Listen to this. Knowing what you know now, do you think you would have beat him? Yeah, he still got seven million and fewer votes. Yes. Okay?
Starting point is 00:47:00 A lot of people didn't show up. Number one, number one. Number two, the, there, very close in those toss up states. They, not that actually. I mean, you lost the blue wall. You lost Michigan. They lost all of them. Yeah, they lost every bit of the blue
Starting point is 00:47:20 wall. And Michigan was a huge loss for them. These people, like, what in the world? There's just doesn't, doesn't make any sense. But I don't know, I don't understand the appeal of having him on the view. Does that bring eyeballs? Are people like, I mean, Are people seriously interested? Really? Seems kind of lame.
Starting point is 00:47:42 We also, hang on, I want to get more of this because we've had breaking news all throughout the beginning of this show. This, you guys want to hear Marjorie Taylor Green versus Jasmine Crockett? I do. Audio Sondi 15. Fight, fight, fight, fight. Point of order.
Starting point is 00:48:01 Out of curiosity, is the chairwoman allowed to editorialize before every speaker on the Democratic side speaks or is that part of her time which we know that she went over it's not a point of order you're taking miss standsbury's time i know you're trying to be chair of oversight but miss stanstair is the ranking member chair would be better on this side i do agree with it it's miss stansbury's time i just let him fight it out and see who wins that's but it is true she was trying to talk over and and and hog the clock which you can't do that's why they have that mediation

The St. Louis man was arrested after sitting naked in the St. Louis Terminal Airport.
Starting point is 00:49:53 Do they ever remove the plywood from the windows from that tornado some years ago? I asked them that three years after the tornado hit and Lambert. The official X account went at me. They hired the best. The St. Louis County Circuit Judge signed an arrest warrant for a guy who sat naked inside of the airport. terminal. Probably cause statement. It happened on April 25th Terminal 1. The guy's named
Starting point is 00:50:17 Darius Walker. He attempted to cover himself when somebody approached. He was sitting in the terminal chair, belt unbuckled. So it sounds like he had clothes. If his belt was unbuckled, maybe the people at Fox 2 now, maybe they could
Starting point is 00:50:33 write a decent story that clarifies this before they finalize a headline. That would be super helpful for people trying to share the news. Meanwhile, Let's see if the New York Post did one better. A seven-year-old boy drove his little sister nine miles in his mom's SUV to get a McDonald's happy meal. That's a good big brother. Wait, no, it's not.
Starting point is 00:50:50 Stop. You're seven years old. You can't be driving a car. He drove his sister nine miles, his little baby sister. And the mom was shocked. She goes, he's probably grounded for the rest of his life. They were in Utah. And it was 8 a.m.
Starting point is 00:51:04 And police were called. They were alerted to a reckless driver. And the SUV did not come to a stop until they hit a part. strip and they found a seven-year-old and a five-year-old inside on skathed and they made it nine miles from their home cash in hand to buy happy meals that's going to be a story they're going to tell for the rest of their lives thankfully nobody was hurt but can I just ask how in the hell you mom did not know that your kids had taken the car and driven nine miles away when they're seven and five years old oh I can't be judgmental yes because I've had two kids like that separated that age
Starting point is 00:51:36 distance think I would know if my kids took my car and drove to McDonald's So I don't know. Like what was happening in that house? I mean, watch your kids. Let's see. And this AI of Dead Arizona Road rage victim addresses killer in court. They used this in court. A clip of a guy who was killed in 2021 said, I believe, in forgiveness after his sister fed an AI model videos of him.
Starting point is 00:52:05 And they used it in court. I don't like that at all. should not, I don't think that should be allowed. That is creepy and that is really creepy. I know. And how, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no. I, I, I don't, I don't know. We got a couple headlines in here repeatedly. Let's see, going back up. This, the, a tourist was bitten by a crocodile while taking a selfie at a zoo because he thought the animal was fake. Well, in his defense they do say very still they do he was 29 years old but his problem is that he literally climbed in the enclosure and he was promptly bitten by a female crocodile he thought it was fake and so he climbed into the enclosure to get a photo with it but again it was fake the zookeeper had to go in and hit the crocodile in the head to get her to open her mouth and he got more than 50 stitches for his injuries and i hope that they build him for any injuries to the crocodile since he climbed into the enclosure goodness

We will not back down in our pursuit of racial justice. The antidote to anti-blackness is to be pro-black and we will do it unapologetically. The United States government owes us a debt and we need reparations.
Starting point is 00:54:29 I didn't know it was a call and answer session. Welcome back. Daniel Lash with you at the bottom of this third hour. That is Ariana Presley who's talking about reparations. Man, Democrats are just, they just keep putting out bangers, right? They just keep putting out bangers. I'm all for them doing this. Do it. Try it. F-A-F-O. I'm all about it.
Starting point is 00:54:56 Democrats introduced federal resolution, and once again, for reparations. I've got a lot of questions about this. So Summerlee out of Pennsylvania led it. It was first introduced back in 23 by Cory Bush. And I don't you criticize that woman because she's got a man who says he's a wizard, right? her bodyguard who says he's a wizard and he can literally bring a plague upon you. I don't know. That's like that came out
Starting point is 00:55:17 she was paying him campaign money. I don't know. Anyway they said that in this press conference they want personally says she wants restitution and justice and reparations and I don't even know what that exactly means. I'm so tired of hearing off of the stolen labor
Starting point is 00:55:34 stolen land, etc., etc. Can I just note that every nation on earth without exception, has engaged in the practice of slavery, and it wasn't just black citizens that were enslaved either? I mean, by and large, it's a horrible thing. It goes without saying, but it wasn't reserved also for just one group of people or another. So my question is, how does this work? So people who were never slaves want money from people who never own them. Okay. That still doesn't make any sense.
Starting point is 00:56:12 to me. How did, and so like, Kane, let me, let me use Kane as an example. Sorry, Kane. I just want to use you as an example. So, you're, and we'll just put it bluntly. So Kane is half Mexican. So your family wasn't even here. Half of you, they weren't even here when all that happens. So do you only pay 50% reparations? Like, how does that work? That's a great question. Wants, Wants families from Puerto Rico. How does that work? Is there no, like, system? Wants got a, Why one even here? Yeah. He's got to pay reparations.
Starting point is 00:56:44 So we got to consider that. Plus, is there a system considering your family's history? Yeah. So my family predominantly are Irish, which explains so much, and American Indian. So when we look back through our family, our family records, we were on the Daws rule. So we were, my ancestors were forcibly removed on the trail of genocide by Democrats. to go to Oklahoma and elsewhere. Excuse me.
Starting point is 00:57:14 So how does that work? So when my and then my other ancestors, when they came over way long time ago, I mean, the Irish were enslaved and they were treated horrifically. So how does that work? Is there like a grading scale? I think when you're also demanding that you and only you deserve recognition for past offenses,
Starting point is 00:57:38 you're also diminishing and trying to and attempting to disqualify everything else that everybody else is. It's the human story. The human story is, you know, because humans have the free will to choose evil and good. And part of the human story is, you know, immoral activities such as this. Part of the human story is entire tribes in Africa that would conquer. other tribes and they would literally sell them into slavery. I don't know where people thought that, you know, they were going when they would, they were over there on the Ivory Coast and they were
Starting point is 00:58:17 putting, you know, sending people through that famous doorway and trekking across the Atlantic to the new world and selling people to plantations. But I mean, it wasn't just a bunch of Englishmen over there that were selling people and they were working. In fact, what was it the, what was the one movie that was made and it was on Netflix and it got a lot of pushback even from black historians because they were, they were glamorizing one of the, you know, of the biggest tribes in Africa that was prolific in the slave trade. They made a lot of cash trading their enemies, other enemy tribes. They would war and they would capture and they would sell. So what, I mean, so if you descended from that tribe, are you then partly responsible
Starting point is 00:59:02 for reparations, for paying reparations too? Like, how does that work? That's how stupid this is. Let's remember where the word slave came from. It didn't come from some African descent. It came from the Slavic countries. And they were actually white people who were slaves first, which is why the word slave was even what it is. Well, what it says, too, is that, oh, it's okay in every instance but this. I don't think it's okay in any instance. But this is, you know, the history that we have.
Starting point is 00:59:31 I mean, one of the things with histories, we look back at what, you know, the people who came before us did. and if we don't like what they did, we say we're not going to repeat that. That's the unfortunate aspect of it. But to demand that someone who wasn't involved, be responsible for paying you is, it is a lazy way to redistribute wealth. And the sad thing is you're diminishing actual immoral activity by using it as a veneer for greed. And that's the truth of it. if like erinna presley and others calling for operations when to get really mad be pissed off at democrats
Starting point is 01:00:14 that perpetuated this it was democrats who did the trail of genocide and it was democrats who fought to keep people enslaved that is the truth of the matter they fought for this and their policies after continued to fight for it. The destruction of the black community through community through urban planning, the likes of which happened under you had under FDR and others. I mean, go back and look what happened like when they were building roads and highways. This was Democrat Central Planning. There's entire books on this. I have two in my library. That was Democrat Central Planning. and it was designed to divide and control. I've never understood how people can support the party that historically fought to diminish them at every turn.
Starting point is 01:01:16 The abolitionists were Republicans. The people who wanted women to be able to not have to go to the poor house when their husbands passed away, to be able to inherit the farms that they worked on alongside of their husbands and families, those were Republicans that fought for women to be able to do that. It was Republicans that fought for women to be able to cast a vote as an equal citizen of this nation. And it was Democrats that opposed it at every step, that ideology. I hate breaking everything down to just Republican or Democrat, but it is that ideology that is still so pervasive today. I mean, think about the policies.
Starting point is 01:02:00 And it's even creeping over in conservative spheres. So is one of the reasons I get enraised. when I hear about people trying to expand welfare programs like paying women to have babies. They are a continuation of the same policy that chipped away at the nuclear family unit over the past several generations. And they're trying to doll it up as a conservative proposal. It's assonine. Who is the party of higher taxation that makes it to where a family has to send both parents out of the home to work? Exactly.
Starting point is 01:02:33 This is my point. I mean, if Democrats want reparations, maybe they should ask themselves to pay themselves then for diminishing and dehumanizing themselves. And furthermore, I want my reparations. My ancestors were forcibly removed apparently by Elizabeth Warren's ancestors back in the day. So what do I get out of that? I would like to know. My family was dirt poor. And my family came from a tribe that, actually.
Starting point is 01:03:05 actually was pretty independently wealthy in Georgia back in the day. And they had everything confiscated and seized from them and they were sent on the trail of genocide. We're on the roll books. We're listed. My ancestors are listed on the trail and they got their numbers. So I'm just curious. What do my ancestors get from that? Like where does that come? What about what about the tribes that were relocated through that trail of genocide? They can't even own their own land on Indian reservation. Do you know that? Democrats have fought against that forever. If you're on a res, you can't even own your own land. The government owns it. It's actually not, I think about it, it's actually not that much different from property taxes. You never really own your own land. You really can't even have it in your name on a res. So that's, you know, why? Why did they do that? Why did the government do that and disallow them to own property? Big question. So if they're going to talk about reparations, they need to take it to their party and say you owe us this because this is what you. you fomented throughout history. It is evil to demand that someone else carry the penalty for another person's sin. God doesn't even do that. God doesn't pass on original sin. It's a myth that he does
Starting point is 01:04:23 and it's scripturally incorrect to assert otherwise. He doesn't do that. You're not responsible for the sins of your father. And again, if people want to argue that you are, tell me, explain to me Jesus this is lineage again. I just, it's divisive and it's hateful and it's racist. They're just racist is all it is. Lorraine notes that the Irish quarter and her German half of her family didn't get here until after it was over and they were dirt poor. So what about those? And what about black slave owners? Do there, there were some Native American, American Indian slave owners. What about them? Here's the other thing. What about people like my husband's family who came over here in the 1800s from Germany.
Starting point is 01:05:11 And there was a book written about his grandfather, Gustavus Lash. He was taken as a prisoner of war and he was in Andersonville, the worst POW camp in the country. And I can't remember how many of them walked out. They had a ton of them in there. And to feed them, they would drive a live ox into the yard. And the prisoners would have to do. tear at it with their bare hands and teeth if they wanted to eat. Most of them died. Most of them died. And his, my husband's grandfather was one of the very few that walked out alive, totally emaciated,
Starting point is 01:05:49 looking like a concentration camp survivor, but walked out alive. There's newspaper articles written about him and all kinds of stuff. He fought for the union. He gave his health. He offered up his life. Sir, are you telling me that that somebody, his descendants, have to pay for something they didn't do? What about the people who lost their lives fighting to free people? You telling me that by way of their skin color
Starting point is 01:06:23 that they are just required to pay? It's racist. Arianneopressly is a racist, and these other people are as well. and they use their skin color as a gimmick. And it's sickening and it's divisive and it's evil. It is a moral failing on their part to demand reparations. You know, there are people that have suffered. I have a whole chapter about this in my book, Grace Canceled.
Starting point is 01:06:51 Because I write about all of this. Human history is entirely imperfect and filled with error because humans are entirely imperfect and error prone. You're continuing this pattern by demanding something from people who are not responsible to pay you for something you never endured. And when I look at the backgrounds of some of these lawmakers, you know, like people like Jasmine Crockett and others, and they never experienced the poverty that I grew up with, ever. When I look at Iona Presley's background, I mean, she had every, I mean, she had a lot of stuff handed to her. She grew up in Chicago. She did Planned Parenthood advertisements. You know, she was able to, you know, build herself.
Starting point is 01:07:51 And then she kind of like discounts that and acts like, you know, she didn't, none of this was available to her. She wouldn't be where she was if these opportunities had not been available. opportunities that she argues don't exist. It doesn't make any sense. It is, it's evil and it's a perpetuation of the sin that they accuse others of. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man. Some of these headlines I got today. All right. So first up, I'm telling you what, this is scary. If I lived in Florida, and I love you, Florida, I love vacationing in you. I love your food. I love going. down there 30A. I like going, I mean, the whole, every part of it, no matter what part of it is all beautiful.
Starting point is 01:08:40 Your all's water is, I mean, it's terrifying because of stuff that's in it. In your sewers, municipal employees, we're doing a routine inspection. Routine inspection. Oh, we got to go look at this pipe. It's underneath this Florida Road. Let's send a little camera down there just to see, oh my gosh, there's a gator sitting in the pipe, like a people. He's sitting there like a people. Look at him. Juan's got, I think Juan's got it. It's this concrete pipe and they were looking to see like what, you know, the structure, et cetera, et cetera.
Starting point is 01:09:17 You know, as one, as as skilled workers would do. And they lowered this camera down there. And they saw a gator. It look. It legit looks like he's sitting up. I can't even say the city's name. But they posted a photo to Facebook showing the image of the gator. and they used this remote controlled camera to check the pipe.
Starting point is 01:09:39 You know, they were looking for cracks and leaks and things like that. Oh, but then there's more. They also had video of him later walking around. The pipes were fine, but he's just walking around. See, he's probably looking at him with these. Just sitting like a people. He's sitting there chilling in the pipe. Can you imagine?
Starting point is 01:09:58 Now, that's a sewage pipe. I don't know. Like, is he going to come up in somebody's toilet? I don't know. I'm just saying. They also kind of want to chill with you at your house too. Not this particular gator, but one of his friends. An alligator, another alligator, not the one that we had last week that knocked on someone's door.
Starting point is 01:10:14 This is a new gator knocking on someone's door. Come and knock on my door. He got stuck in a folding chair. He needed some helps. Lee County Sheriff's Office posted a video to social media. A gator was visiting front porches in Tortuga, and their deputies had to come because he got his head stuck in a folding chair. And as he approached the front door, he had the chair on his head and it was hitting the door. It was almost like he was signaling for help.
Starting point is 01:10:40 So clearly the homeowner did not try to do it themselves. They called the professionals to come and help. My gosh, we got a lot more on the way. Third hour next. Stick with us. Reopen Alcatraz. Can you walk us through that decision? Did I say what?
Starting point is 01:10:53 To reopen Alcatraz. How will you use it? How did you come up with the idea? Well, I guess I was supposed to be a movie maker. We're talking to we started with the movie making and we'll end. I mean, it represents something very strong, very powerful in terms of law and order. Our country needs law and order. Alcatraz is, I would say, the ultimate, right?
Starting point is 01:11:14 Alcatraz, Sing, and Alcatraz, the movies. But it's right now a museum, believe it or not. A lot of people go there. It has the most violent criminals in the world, and nobody ever escaped. One person almost got there, but they, as you know, the story. They found his clothing rather badly ripped up and it was a lot of shark bites, a lot of problems. Nobody's ever escaped from Alcatraz and just represented something strong having to do with law and order. We need law and order in this country. And so we're going
Starting point is 01:11:50 to look at it. Some of the people up here are going to be working very hard on that. And we had a little conversation, I think. The shark bites. A lot of shark. Well, there's shark and festival. water right there. I mean, I'm just saying, it is, isn't it cane? I mean, you know, the sharks are hungry right there. That's all they got are needles and feces on the. That's where they're looking to get their bites in. Yeah, they got to get your bites in. And then their little watch goes off and says you did it. I don't know what's happening. Oh my gosh. Welcome back to the program. We're at the top of this third hour. It's the weather. Welcome back. Dana Lash with you. We're at the top, again, top of the third hour, greetings and salutations.
Starting point is 01:12:36 A little quick sidebars. So, you know, our studio, we have Wick here. Our rescue puppy. This dog is, we've had to teach him how to be a dog in a way because we got him from a shelter and he never like went outside without a person before. So the first time I let him go outside, you know, like go out to your backyard, you know, and you can go use a restroom. He looked at me like I was crazy.
Starting point is 01:12:58 Like, get here, a woman. Like you kind of walk out with me. I can't do this by myself. and he is petrified of storms. I've never, I mean, he just shakes. He just, just, just tucks his tail and just shakes whenever there's like thunder, whenever it's storming. And then, you know, if whatever was going on, we got to stop it and make sure he's chill. And he doesn't like being in his kennel except to go to bed at night.
Starting point is 01:13:24 That's the only time. And most dogs want a safe space. Wick does not want to be in his kennel. So, yeah, I've made a bit. pillow fort for him like a whole pillow fort that he can get in and hide so I'll let you know how that works out I'm like well I don't he doesn't want to be in his kennel so the next best thing is a pillow fort how many pillows have you used in this pillow fort a lot and I there's like a blanket and I I am an expert pillow fort builder I don't know if anybody knows this it's a particular skill
Starting point is 01:13:56 set that I have you know I've made many many pillow force not just as a child but also as a boy mom. I have made some pillow forts in my time. And so it's a really cane. It's a spectacular pillow fort. Yeah. In which Wick can find security from the storm since he doesn't. Does he calm down in the pillow fort? Well, I don't know. We're trying it for the first time. So we're going to see, that's what I did on break. I'm like, I went and cobbled together, if I do say so myself, a pretty spectacular pillow for it. And we're going to see if that may be, because he wants to be under stuff and and and if you if he sits by you when it's storming you have to basically hug him you have to put your arm around him and hug him or he'll try to melt into your head it's just like
Starting point is 01:14:38 he tries to get right there by you that poor guy he's he is just i and someone was telling me a thunder shirt people who have never dressed toddlers are like get a thunder shirt for your dog dressing a dog is as bad if not worse sometimes i think than dressing a toddler well unless it was my youngest. And I just don't know if that's going to work out. So I didn't even know what, it's a shirt that hugs you tight. Yeah,
Starting point is 01:15:06 I guess it's supposed to be like those compression blankets that make you feel like you're being hugged. I feel like that's not going to work for him. He's, he's a very smart dog. He is super smart. He learned how to open gates and all kinds of stuff. He's incredibly smart.
Starting point is 01:15:20 But, yeah, so he's just, except he doesn't recognize just a basic storm. He's smart, but, you know. So, we'll see how that goes.
Starting point is 01:15:29 There's no meteorologist. Give them a break. Well, I mean, it is kind of out of nowhere. It was sunny this morning and then all of a sudden a storm comes rolling through again and the thunder is so loud that sometimes it carries over air. It's crazy. So anyway, that's my life right now. I'm just making sure my dog doesn't have an existential breakdown when I'm on air because of the thunder.
Starting point is 01:15:48 So if one day you guys happen to tune in and you hear like some whining in the background of the mic, if you're not watching, or if you just see a giant yellow dawn, here in the seat with me. It's because the pillow for it didn't work. It didn't work. And so he's got to be, he's got to be. And he just sits there.
Starting point is 01:16:06 It's the funniest thing. He doesn't move. It's like he thinks if he's still, the storm won't see him. Like the, oh, big roll of thunder. He acts like if he's just super still,
Starting point is 01:16:15 the storm won't see him. And he just, he sits as still as a cigar store Indian. He just sits there and will not move. So he'll just, he'll probably look like a fake dog. So it may happen now. It may happen here in the next,
Starting point is 01:16:27 the next few. So bear with us. It's our high maintenance show dog. Oh my gosh. Now, Lorraine says for her dog, it's the electricity in the air more so than the thunder. I didn't even think about that. Really? The electricity in the air?
Starting point is 01:16:42 I just think it's muggy. Ooh. Anyway. So, all right. So POTUS having a little press avail right there and he's discussing Alcatraz. I just, again, I don't think you need to make it all. up, right? Just make sure you got the, the electric fences work, and I think you're good, right? Don't you think so? And the locks work? Yeah, I think that'll, yeah, I think that'll, I don't even know
Starting point is 01:17:09 how much that would, are we, are we running out of prison space? I think, I mean, we've been letting prisoners out for all kinds of different reasons. Right. And overpopulations been one of those reasons. Yeah, I just, yeah, I mean, I don't know. I mean, maybe it, you know, maybe, maybe we do. But I'm not against it. I'm not against it. Pota sat down with Kristen Welker and was grilling him about a number of different issues. Can we have audio something six? Because I need to hear what he says about Chasmin'clock it. Go ahead and play this one. I can't name. I can't name one Democrat. I mean, I look at the Democrats. They're in total disarray. They have a new person named Crockett. I watched her speak the other day. She's definitely a low IQ person.
Starting point is 01:17:59 And they said she's the future of the party. She's dumb. How is that possible? That's what he just said. Now, speaking of Crockett, was this at her audio sound by, I think this, oh, 17. So she was speaking at a commencement ceremony. You know, just this sounds like a particular, just like, I guess, what a regular commencement material. Listen to this.
Starting point is 01:18:26 There are going to be people that tell you that you don't belong, and I am here to tell you over and over and over that you absolutely belong. There are people that are going to tell you that there is not a table in which there is a seat for you. But I am here to remind you of Montgomery and those folding chairs. Let me tell you that we know how to use a chair, whether we pulling it up or we doing something else with it. Okay, so what? I guess she thinks that. So this was her graduation, her commencement speech Sunday. She was in Mississippi, 20-minute speech. And she's like unnecessarily wordy. Like instead of, you know, at a table in which there is a chair, you could just say a seat at the table, you know, at the table and using a bunch of words strung together poorly does not. make you sound smarter. It makes you sound dumb. Just say a seat at the table. That's it. But she's talking about this, the fight that, when she's talking about chairs, do you remember this 2023 fight that was in Montgomery, Alabama? And it was, it was boaters that
Starting point is 01:19:40 fought with, I guess, like a dock worker and a couple of other people. Remember this? It was a bunch of drunk people that fought and then there were chairs involved. I don't even know. And it had to do with a parking spot at the dock. Like somebody was trying to dock their boat. And somebody else, there was like a large river boat and then there was a smaller private boat. And everybody got into a fight. And everybody made it a racial thing. And because they said, well, the city has a history of racial violence. I don't necessarily, I mean, I don't know if it was a race thing more as much as it was a drunk person, drunk people entitled thing.
Starting point is 01:20:16 I don't know. But, I mean, I guess, you know, she needed it to be that. She referenced that. That's what she was talking about with the folding chair. Like, that doesn't even make sense. You're talking about a drunk fight over a dock space and a, what? But why is that the message? First off, who's telling people that they don't, that there isn't a seat for them at the table?
Starting point is 01:20:41 Oh, sorry. A table at which there's a seat, also known as a chair that you could have the seat at. I don't get it, Kane. Like what, why is that the, who's telling anybody this? The only people that are saying this are people like her. The only people that are going, oh, there's no room at the table. It's just, it's, it's her. She's the one who's telling them this.
Starting point is 01:21:09 But that. She did respond to him on, on X. Oh, yeah. I put that in Slack. She did respond to him on X. Yeah. Well, her remarks were stupid when she's talking about the chair. But she said, she tweeted, as Kane noted, she tweeted, she tweeted, uh,
Starting point is 01:21:25 Quote, gosh, for you to be in charge of the whole country, you sure do have my name in your mouth a lot. Okay, first off, let's stop with the first sentence. He doesn't even know your name. He just knew your last name. And he only mentioned you one time, so get over yourself. And can we stop saying name in your mouth? Like, that's so stupid. Just shut up.
Starting point is 01:21:45 I'm so tired of people trying to sound hard ass and, like, I'm going to say something that I think other hard-ass people say. And if I say it, then I'm going to borrow the hard-assiveness. Just stop. And then she goes, every time you say my name, you're reminding the world that you're terrified of smart, bold, black women telling the truth and holding you accountable. Like, what? Like, he mentioned you one time. He mentioned her one time. Like, he had wig snatched you. And why are you still talking? Like, stop. He didn't even mention your whole name. So she snatched her own wig at her speech. Like, I've never seen anybody, like, do a self-wig snatch. an S-W-S harder than this woman does. Like, it just does not keep my name out of your mouth. Okay, that's not even how that works, but okay, just, I feel like I'm watching like Schitt's Creek, the show.
Starting point is 01:22:37 Fold in the cheese, David. Well, what does it even mean? I just fold it in. Keep my name out of your mouth. What does that even mean? The funny thing is that every time she talks about it, it's proving his point. Well, yeah. I mean, she's, she talks about him all the time.
Starting point is 01:22:55 He just referenced her one time. One time. He just mentioned her one time. And she loses it on X. Loses it. She was so excited that he even mentioned her last name. Nobody remembers her first name. And the only reason that they remember her last name is because it's Davy Crockett's
Starting point is 01:23:12 name first. And it's a little bit jarring to realize that somebody with the last name, Crocket is such an idiot and so entitled. I mean, she's literally. like a trust fund socialist. I told you she grew up in the ritziest area in St. Louis and she went to the most expensive and exclusive private school ever. I mean, MICDS is, that's where all the politicians kids went,
Starting point is 01:23:39 all the CEO's kids went, all the debutants, all the billionaires and the millionaires kids, all the ballplayers kids were at MICDS. Like everybody was at, if you had, money and you had your parents were famous you were at my cd s that was like the school and it was it's super expensive it's like more expensive than a four-year university it is insanely expensive to go there beautiful campus but i had to do a profile my one of my first jobs after college was writing a celebrity profile on a performing artist and they went to mcds and when i walked into that school i was blown away because it was like a world away from how I grew up. I mean, so yeah, she's,
Starting point is 01:24:26 I think she tries to cosplay like she's hood. Well, she does. She tries to cosplay hood and she's not. Like AOC tries to cosplay like she's tough. It's like, stop. It just looks so bad. It's so bad. So that was her commencement address. I just can't believe that you would reference drunk people fighting with folding chairs over dock space at a commencement address and then act like that's somehow representative of racial struggle. I mean, if you're, it doesn't even make any sense. And she was in Mississippi, right? And she's referencing something that was in Montgomery, Alabama. I don't understand. That doesn't, none of that makes sense to me. Of course, you know, not their brightest bulb in the box. Not really. Audio somebody at 18. Oh, she kept going. Listen, this is nuts. It's easy to play
Starting point is 01:25:11 because she says stuff that's so crazy. Oh, wait, we got to move, don't we? Oh, hold that, hold that thought. Hold a thought. Sorry, Steve is dying. Steve got to yell at me. We got to move because Steve will have a stroke and we won't have any Quick Five. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. So NIH closes experimentation labs that are accused of brutally killing thousands of eagles for over 40 years. It's so horrible. It was announced that they closed their last in-house beagle lab on the NIH campus. This comes after days after Doche said that they're investigating these experiments in the White Coast Waste Project. So that's great news.
Starting point is 01:25:51 Let's see also solar panels to be fitted on all new homes in England by 2027. That's mandatory. You will be forced to comply. Welcome back. Dana Lash here. We're at the bottom of this third hour. We made it to Friday. Yay!
Starting point is 01:26:06 It's good to be with you. Coast to coast, you can listen terrestrially. One of our hundreds of markets. You can also watch the stream. Channel 347 Direct TV. Find us on edge. rumbles where the chat is, YouTube, all that good stuff. So I feel like we don't, we're always so critical of culture here in this space.
Starting point is 01:26:29 And for good reason, because it sucks. So much of it is just heinous, like so much art and so much music and everything. I feel like I sound like a boomer almost because we are just so hypercritical of it. But it is trash. And one of my biggest criticisms of the right is that they don't. encourage actual good stuff that's not like politically driven. The stuff that I see promoted is politics first and then artistic consideration second. And I always have a huge issue with that because it should be about, you know, the expression first and making something that's really cool and is,
Starting point is 01:27:02 you know, pretty or whatever. And then if you want to, you know, if it has a political point, then fine. But don't make that be, you know, the vehicle for the art. It's backwards. One of my friends who is a great illustrator. I think that's the preferred term. Has been doing all kinds of comics, and he has a podcast, and I've known him for a really long time. In fact, our first meeting was hysterical.
Starting point is 01:27:27 But you can find him on X at Salty Draws. He is a writer-creator. His pronouns are Lord and King, and he has a comic book series. It's actually really cool. It's about the teenage Ben Franklin who is caught in this virtual world that is regulated by AI,
Starting point is 01:27:47 which is weird because when he started this, I kind of wonder if he knew we were going to be here all these years later. I mean, we're almost there. Sean Salter now joins us. You can find him at Salty Draws on X. Good to see you, my friend. I can, okay, so every time you join me,
Starting point is 01:28:01 your office gets like your studio gets bougier and bougier in the background. I don't point that out. Well, because I'm just going along with my pronouns, King and Lord. That's right. That's right. I have the comic here, by the way,
Starting point is 01:28:13 and you've got this nice shiny foil on the top. This thing is thick as I'll get out too. And this is like beautifully illustrated. It's silence do good. Ben Franklin, time travel agent. I want to get into all of this. Because you were in,
Starting point is 01:28:24 you were in Hollywood for a really long time. I want to get people a background on you. You were in Hollywood for a long time. You worked for big studios. You worked on all kinds of very commercial things that people seen on television and theaters. And you got red-pilled. Although I think you always were kind of.
Starting point is 01:28:38 Born and raised, conservative. Yeah, red-pilled. But you weren't public about it because you couldn't be. No. No. What would have happened if you would have been like if you would have been vocal about it then? well what would have happened is what happened to us right before i ended up leaving hollywood which was we had sold uh me and my writing partner had sold a show to a major hollywood and we were developing that in hollywood it was an animated uh series a you're
Starting point is 01:29:00 familiar with that one but we can't talk about n dAs and when they found out we were conservative christian straight white males well they knew we were straight white males but you know when they found out the conservative christian part it was phone call uh we we're not going to do this show just like that is easy just like that just like that And when you're nobody, you don't have an established name, it's really easy to do to you. And so it was time at that moment, I knew it was time to leave. Yeah. And then you went to beautiful Tennessee.
Starting point is 01:29:28 I can say that. Well, you talk about it. I mean, it's, I'm not going to say where you are, but it's like you live out in nature. It's beautiful. Yeah. I live in the forest. And so it's hard to get to where we're at. And if you're here, it's not a good idea.
Starting point is 01:29:41 Right. That's right. And it's so much better now. Do you feel like you're able to be, I mean, is it? I mean, in some respects, I would imagine it's harder because it's an important point that I think you made. If you don't have that name recognition, I think even if you do have the name recognition, I don't even think that you can be exactly free with your ideological beliefs that they, if they fall out of line with what, you know, the upper echelon in Hollywood dictates. Well, look what happened to Gina Carano. And then that happens to so many people.
Starting point is 01:30:06 They just, what happens is the phone, the phone stops ringing. The call, you stop getting the job. You stop getting any interest around you. And it has to, they'll say things like, oh, you're with. or you know, because they don't want to be seen as bit. But really, at the end of the day, it's just because they're fascists. Yeah. I mean, that's, that's, and everything that they've come out with has been garbage.
Starting point is 01:30:28 There's, I rarely go see movies anymore. Yeah, we don't go at all. The last time, Wolverine was funny. Oh, yeah. Well, I didn't even see that in the theater. I was trying to think the last thing I saw in the theater and I can't remember. The first time I went back to the theater after a really long time was Top Gun, the sequel. I, okay, I did see John Wick.
Starting point is 01:30:45 I did see the latest John Wick. to go see that. Yeah, that was a good one. I really haven't gone because there's not a lot. It's all like repurposed, re-hashed, reimagined. It's the same story that they make duller and
Starting point is 01:30:58 duller with every iteration. And there's not a lot of originality out there. There's not a lot of originality. And I think they do the reboots because the stuff that is original is so just twisted and just full of their nonsense that does not relate to the regular American.
Starting point is 01:31:14 That they're like, well, what about this? And then they shove their stuff in it still. And it's just like, you made it worse. Yeah. Yeah. So this, I'm going to get into the comics because you do, this is a great series that you've been working on for a long time. But have you been, because you, you were born really conservative. Like, how would you say it?
Starting point is 01:31:36 Like, a Reagan conservative? Like, how did you, what was your belief set? Like, how would you describe it if you had to package it? When I was younger, I was Alex P. Keaton. I mean, I would debate my father over. Richard Nixon being a great president. As I got older, I became a little bit, you know, into my 20s, I became libertarian. And then when I got older and wiser, I realized, I don't like anyone. And you've all gotten it wrong. The founders had it right. Let's go back to that. So
Starting point is 01:32:03 constitutional, conservative. Yeah, I think that's right. I like that. Like constitutionalists. I think, and I think there's something as you get older, you realize, I just want to be left alone more and more. I'm tired of everybody's garbage. I'm done with, the Democrats always never voted for Democrat in my life but the Republicans get on my last nerve I just happen to you know it's like the party of stupid or the party of evil and it's like I'll go with the stupid guys again they're not conservative enough there yeah I'll go with the dumb people I guess but they're not they're not I mean we we tend to vote for them as a strategy to kind of get closer to what we want but they're not constitutionalists have to because I mean
Starting point is 01:32:41 what's the alternative a dystopian future where you know it's not even communism It's neo feudalism. You have no rights and you're a serf. I mean, let's be honest, income taxes slavery. We need to get rid of that. But we're just, we're serfs. We're slaves. And we need liberty.
Starting point is 01:32:58 And that's what this book is about. Yeah, exactly. Well, you made an important point too about, because we kind of agree on this, although I think people don't understand the nuance about voting. Because like, just to throw this out there, this is, I think, if you throw this out there, there's the, you immediately see the difference between who is a constitutionalist and who isn't. because it's not a right. Voting isn't a right.
Starting point is 01:33:19 It's relegated to the states to administer. So it's something that it's a privilege that the states administer. But it's not a right. And people freak out when you say this. Yes. Well, I say it's an earned responsibility. It's not even a, I mean, you have to earn that. And that's what the states used to determine.
Starting point is 01:33:37 Who was responsible enough to have a say over how society governs itself? You cannot let people that are on the take, that are on the toll, that are essentially parasites. And I lump politicians in with that. You can't let them have a say. Those that are actually putting in the blood, the sweat, and the tears, those that have skin in the game,
Starting point is 01:33:55 they have the privilege or the responsibility to govern the rest of us. We were founded as a republic, and we need to get back to that because the longer we stay a democracy, the more our rights are in jeopardy by the mob. Yeah, yeah. And that's one of the reasons why I like this series, too,
Starting point is 01:34:12 because you explore, how do I put it? You explore these ideals without it being overbearingly political, if that makes sense. Like I don't feel like I'm reading a political missive that is politics first and then like, you know, the really cool artwork and coloring and the panels and the characters. That's like a second consideration. Is that, and I feel like a lot of people on the right struggle with that. I mean, clearly you don't because you get the concept of it. But talk a little bit about that because this is what, so for the people don't know, Ben Franklin is Silence, do Good. This is his series and this is the latest. I mean, it's like really pretty. I love, I mean, it's a great read. And if you like comics, I like, I like manga and I watch anime and all that stuff. And I love this series. But it's, I love the way that you approach it. And tell me a little bit about it because this is, I think this is something that, you know, people obviously should check out. But I like that it's, it's just originality forward for the lack of a better way to put it. Yeah. Well, the idea really started as just me thinking, like, what would our founding fathers think of if they saw the America we've built? And it kind of, you know, snowballed from there. I love time travel, big fan of Doctor Who, you know, I loved. I could not tell.
Starting point is 01:35:26 back right there. But so obviously time travel was how I wanted to do it. I wanted to treat American history as kind of a backdrop. I didn't want to change history. I wanted to keep it like, oh, this was what happened. How were we going to do that? And so it just problem after problem and you just solve the problems. And one of the ways we solved it was,
Starting point is 01:35:45 what if we had Ben Franklin, who was a scientist, an inventor, he was like the Renaissance man of the age. He seemed like the perfect person for this. And he's my favorite founding father. This is one of the most interesting guys ever. He was a teenager. His air baths. That's my favorite story about him.
Starting point is 01:36:02 Yeah, one of his inventions was just sitting around in the nude air bath, you know, air bath. But yeah, so it was like take a teenager of teenage Ben Franklin. So it's more of a coming of age. So he has the principles of the Enlightenment era. But he's also going to be maybe more wrestling and questioning and doubting, but also rebellious, a little bit more rebellious than he would be as an adult. And what would that be like? because Ben Franklin was also a loyalist. So how does that? So it creates all kinds of complexities
Starting point is 01:36:29 where we get to then have a fun time exploring the ideals of liberty and free will and what that would look like in a future where the algorithms dictate every move humanity takes. And we're there right now. I mean, because you start, how long ago did you first start this series? Because we've talked about it before. I mean, it's continued and it's grown. But I feel like it was very prescient because now here we, are where AI is really, I mean, it's going to dominate everything. I mean, it's going to dominate warfare. It's going to dominate every aspect of American life. We're right there by singularity. And so this was very, I mean, this was very thoughtful in anticipating that.
Starting point is 01:37:07 Yeah, I started in a decade ago, actually. And it's evolved. So we added in AI probably about eight years ago because AI was starting to be murmured. And you know, you have AI in video games. And so it's just kind of like thinking of like a virtual world. And I remember a lot of my friends and me included would get super addicted to video games and you'd be like, oh, I could just call out sick because I'm going to play video games all day long. And it was like, what would it be like if we just all lived in a video? Oh my gosh, that would be scary. So for me, it was just like trying to create the scariest world possible, but that seems that's so candy-coded that it would be very sweet to the world. And so that's what I think that this dystopian future would be like,
Starting point is 01:37:50 and that's the world we're creating. And that Ben Franklin is like, nope, we got to stop it. With lasers and robots. Yeah. And I think he's, I think you were pitch perfect on that because out of all the founders, he's the one. He was very forward. He's like, I would say maybe the most classically tophil liberal of all of them. I mean, he was a very, very forward thinking. He was really the only one.
Starting point is 01:38:11 Like you could send him to France and he can go over there and, you know, wine and dine with Louis and all of the nobles and get money to help fund our, you know, war of independence. Not everybody had the patience to do it. Other people tried and they struggle, like John Adams really struggled, to do it. deal with them. But Ben Franklin was like, no, no, no, you got to finesse it. You got to handle it a certain way. He was very, I mean, he really understood the times then and the times that were coming. So he's like the perfect character through which to explore all of this. Are you going to do others? Are you going to branch off and like maybe explore with other founders? Uh, yeah, we're going to explore with other just Americans in general. Uh, I don't want to say exactly who, but it's going, it'll be a little bit,
Starting point is 01:38:51 you know, it'll be fun. We're going to have fun with it. Uh, definitely I think that Silence Dugood will be a moniker that, uh, gets applied to other people as Ben Franklin will kind of age out because, you know, eventually he's got to go back. Uh, because what we're doing is he's 18 at this time. And he's supposed to be in England's procuring a printer. And American history doesn't really know what he was doing there other than getting odd jobs trying to get back for about three years. So when he comes back to America, you know, we might have to change the story a bit and get a new hero in there. But for right now, Now, we got about three years of Ben Franklin. And that's a lot that can happen while you're time traveling. Exactly, a lot that can happen. The series is Ben Franklin is Silence, Do Good, Time Travel Agent. It is great. You can find it at his website as well.
Starting point is 01:39:37 And they also have, he's promoting the comic book pre-order campaign on Indiegogo. And you can see that. The website, Turkey Robot.com. And you can check out a show, salty and savage on YouTube. My good friend, always so good to have you. We'd love to have you back. The next time you're all in Dallas, you need to hollough. the next time we're in your neck of the remote woods,

Starting point is 01:40:05 And I appreciate that you're still an artist. And you don't, you, you, you, you, it's artistic forward preaching second. So the politics are, it goes along naturally with it. And it makes it so much more engaging. You're a really good storyteller. So congratulations. Thank you. Thank you for having me on.
Starting point is 01:40:21 Of course, always. I'm like, I got this. I'm like, oh, you got to have Sean on to talk about this. Because it's really great. And I actually, since COVID, I got really into manga and anime, and I actually started getting into your stuff more because of it. So that's like the silver lining of all of it. So it's so good to have you.
Starting point is 01:40:38 Sean Salter. Always a pleasure, my friend. We'll have you back. Thank you. Take care. Good to see you. Bye. Welcome back, Danaash with you.
Starting point is 01:40:45 It's a very stormy day in Texas. Can I think it's been thundering and rumbling the entire time we've been on air, like loudly. like Steve can hear it through the microphone all the way in D.C. From where we are. That's how loud the thunder and all of that is. Like the heavens have opened up. No tornadoes, though.
Starting point is 01:41:02 All right. I don't want to rob you today in stupidity because they did it like twice this week. So, Kane, go. It's Hillary, sorry, Hillary Clinton get sometimes tongue-tied. I apologize for that. This is cut 11. This is what she says the Democrats need. And this is what she says the Republican should he,
Starting point is 01:41:22 Listen to this. We will defeat these people by winning elections. I mean, even if we win every court case, we still have to figure out how to get that enforced. I said elections. Even if the press does lots of exposés, you're dealing with an administration that has no shame. They don't care that they are, you know,
Starting point is 01:41:40 being seen as corrupt or cruel or whatever. Because, of course, it's all about smearing your political opponent. She literally, like, took classified emails and then, like, tried to delete the evidence. She's aware. build in Libya and literally usurp the authority there. And no matter what context we're talking about, she's the worst. Yeah, she's absolute worse. She's never going to go away, is she?
