Mr. President, Kamala Harrison, as you know, is not running for governor of California. She's not going to do it. What are you seeing in her political future, sir? Well, she can't speak. She can't talk. She can't do an interview. I thought it was a very strange campaign that we had. But, you know, I had two of them.

We were up by, like, this massive number of points on Biden, and they said, let's change to Kamala. Nobody knew who Kamala was. Nobody knew her last name, Harris. They said, we're going to get Vice President Harris. Everyone said, who the hell is Harris? They only knew her the first name. But no, I thought she was a terrible candidate. Look, don't forget, she didn't really get the nomination.

I mean, that whole nomination was strange. She was the first one out. You know, she took a good amount of points with her when she announced, but nobody knew her. Once they got to know her, she dropped out very shortly after she started. And she started with a pretty good, you know, she was like in second or third place. But I don't know. I mean, she, I wouldn't call her a skilled politician.

I wouldn't call her skilled. I mean, I think I would go further than she's not a skilled politician. I would just say, generally speaking, she's not a skilled person because that would imply that she has some kind of skill set. and we just, just, it's not true. She's, I don't know why, well, she's got her book out. I was just about to say, I really don't even understand quite why she's out there in the, public again. I would just think, you know, when you lose as badly as she did and you, the party's a mess,

I just think that I would not, I don't know, I just feel like I would not be out there like that, right? I wouldn't be out, I wouldn't be out there. I wouldn't be out going and doing all. I wouldn't be on Colbert, especially when Colbert, think about this too. Colbert just gets canceled because he has low ratings

and then that's the show she goes on. Do you know what I mean? Like the absence of any kind of like political acumen. So it's not that she's just, she's not skilled. She just isn't smart. And I don't know.

I just, I'm just tired of seeing her out there just to be completely honest with you. I'm really tired of seeing her out there. Welcome to the program. Dana Lash with you. We're at the top of this first hour. And it's got some of the things that we're going to get into include some of the reaction

that I've been seeing to, particularly regarding Trump and trade and who, you know, the individuals that are insisting on rewarding Hamas with a statehood, which is asinine to me. and we're going to talk a little bit about it because I really I'm just I mean some of the people that I see you know talking about this and pushing this issue it's just I feel like they don't kind of understand the history of it because there have been people very critical of Trump like how dare he try to tie trade to this well why wouldn't he I mean I don't think it benefits the United States to trade with nations that are legitimizing terror especially Canada I think about it for a moment. Like, with Canada, I mean, do you really, I don't know if I want a trading partner

that is rewarding the terrorist activities of Hamas. So we're going to dive into some of that as well. We also have some cultural issues to discuss, you know. I mean, no, it's not another jeans ad. Thank heavens. It's not another jeans ad. Thank heavens. I was getting worried. But it is what it is. We're also going to get into Democrats. We've got all kinds of stuff. So first and foremost, this, I mean, the, I think, I, I want to start with this Harris thing. Do we have, we have her on Colbert, right? We do. Can we play her on Colbert? Because I just want to make sure it's not Friday and my brain isn't really tired and that she was as ridiculous as I heard her to be with us. Listen. Oh, sorry, I don't know. Whatever the hell cut. I don't know. I'm not looking at it. I'm not looking at it right now. You read my mind. Come on. That's what. No, it's one. It's one. Poor Dougie.

Yeah, you're, you're... Keynes, you're... You're... You're... Well, you know, for example, my birthday is in October. The elections in November. You see where I'm going.

And Dougie kind of dropped the ball on my big birthday. You didn't get you anything? Oh, you have to read the book. No, we would play the video for you, but CBS cites us for copyright infringement, even though it's fair use, you absolute incestuous simps over at YouTube. I don't have anything nice to say.

YouTube administrators need to dine in AIDS fire. I'm saying that a lot lately because I mean it. So she, I don't even understand what, okay, so he was asking her about her book. And so let me just look at the transcript if you'll give me a moment. There's a lot of personal stuff in the book. I mean, poor Dougie. So Dougie's her husband, right? Doug Elmhoff, who was second gentleman, she says, poor Dougie.

Then she laughs, like a lot. Dougie kind of dropped the ball at my big birthday. I don't know what the big birthday is. And then laugh, laugh, laugh. You have to read the book. Anybody? What is that about? What is that about?

That's so weird. Even for marketing purposes, if you're trying to tease people to buy the book, that doesn't work. I mean, you have to read the, so he messed up her big birthday, and you got to buy the book, I'd rather jump off a cliff into the AIDS fire than read her book. I'm not even going to tell you what the chat over at Rumblehead to say.

Uh-oh. Go looking slack. We mostly can't say what the... No, I mean, I could, but I'll get a call. It's funny, though. It's funny. Anyway, I don't want to reward that. No, no. Come on, guys.

It's hysterical, though. All right, so the... I don't... I don't, I think she's, is she trying to do like a rehabilitation tour? I mean, go on the speaker circuit, make some money and shut up. Go away. The only other thing that I can deduce is that she's trying to rehabilitate herself. I mean, that's pretty much all I got. That that's what she's, that's what she wants to do.

She wants to rehabilitate herself. In the meantime, you have everyone's favorite Marxist, ma'am Danny. I have to say his name like Brad Pitt's character from Inglorious Bastards. That's the movie name. I have to say it. That's, you know how he's them Nazis. I want my Nazi scalp. It's such a great movie. But Man Danny is out there saying he's, he's trying to walk back his call to defund the police, even though he tweeted and I'm looking at this, like a million times. He's tweeted a million times. I'm defunding the police. I want to defund the police. I want to

defund the police. We need to defund the police, et cetera, et cetera. And now he says, No, I am not running to defund the police. And then he said that his old posts, and this is from Politico, he said his old posts are, quote, clearly out of step, or no, sorry, are out of step with where he is right now. So where is he going to be in a couple of days? What? He goes, this is this direct quote, I'm not defunding the police. I'm not running to defund the police.

Over the course of this race, I've been very clear about my view of public safety and the critical role that the police have in creating the public safety. Do you guys believe that? Do you think he's been very clear? I don't think he's been clear. I'm confused about this. Clear on what? Is it opposite day?

Yeah, is it opposite day? What do you mean he's been clear? I mean, he's been quite clear on talking about defunding the police. So here's what he's doing. And here's the reason why I'm putting him and Kamala together for a moment. Because, oh yeah, there's all of his, if you're watching the simulcast, Juan, so helpfully put up all of the times. that he posted. Yeah. So, uh, I feel like what they're doing, they're, they're doing the Kamala thing

with him. So when Kamala was switched out in place of Joe Biden and when she was running, they were trying to tell you that no, she doesn't believe in, nor is she going to, you know, administer government, administer over government according to all of the things that she said three months ago. Remember? Like they were telling you that you were stupid for believing that she really would do the things that she said she was going to do three months ago. And I, it's like this playbook all over again. Don't believe your lying eyes and don't believe your lying ears. She's, I, this is this playbook. So they're doing the Kamala rewrite history. Right. Connie and everything with Mamdani the same way that they did with Kamala Harris. They're doing the

exact same thing. No, no, no. Yes, we know he said this and tweeted it, you know, incessantly, but that's not really where he is. So then where is he? How do you, this is my issue? Now, do you understand my issue with these about faces? This is the, this is what I cite, like for instance, with Tulsi Gabbard and why I am just, I'm just, I'm just, trustful of people who change their platform without explaining to you legitimately why they did. I don't want to hear some 30,000 foot story that actually doesn't explain anything, like in her case. But like with this, why did you, why does he now want to fund the, but now he supports police? Now he supports police.

Like with Kamala Harris. I mean, for crying out loud, she accused Joe Biden of being a clans member. And well, he was, he did support segregation. So that was actually accurate because he absolutely did. And he's on record as supporting it. And he's given interviews to that extent. But whatever. But what is the background of this?

Like what changed his mind? Because he didn't really talk about the slaying New York police officer. He tried going. He went to a police officer's funeral and he was blasted by other police officers for doing so. Because they were like, well, when have you ever gone to any of? of this before. Now you're running and you've never gone to any one of these before. I mean, they make a point. So the, he's got to confront this and he's got to, and I just don't know. He said, he said what his position previously is out of step with where he is. But he hasn't

explained why it's out of step or how, what do you mean it's out of step? What is sentence? Can I just, what a sentence? Think about the, the, the construction of the sentence. It's out of steps. So he's trying to assign blame for misrepresentation without actually indicting himself for having that position. That's what he's doing. It's, it's, all it is semantics. He's playing a game with you so he can try to absolve himself of any kind of culpability previously. I mean, this is a guy who is on X, literally mocking a crying cop. He literally mocked a crying police officer. He openly mocked a crime police officer on social media. After, he was calling for the, quote, defunding and quote, dismantling. Someone said there's a cop

crying in his car and this was after, there was another police officer that had been shot. This was back in 2020, remember this. And he literally tweeted, quote, nature is healing. So how do you hold that extreme of a position? And then you, now it's out of step. Why is it out of step? This is why I don't trust this. This is why I need a better explanation. So coming up, a couple of other things that we're going to touch on, Pallywood, the dumb neophytes that are on the right falling for Hamas's

Pravda, the truth about the church bombing, and can we stop citing the Gaza defense ministry for anything regarding Gaza? Because it's Hamas. We're going to dive into this and then a lot more. The stories about organ transplants are, I mean, that's growing

only more. As we move, our partners that make the program possible, it's the folks over at Patriot Mobile, the only Christian conservative cell phone service provider in the country.

Ronald Reagan was right, and it's worse than we thought. If I'm from the government and I'm here to help isn't bad enough. The government spends $181 billion per year on direct cash to private businesses. Did you see a check in the mail?

Check out the Watchdog on Wall Street podcast on Apple, Spotify, wherever you get your podcast. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. An interesting survey out of NBC News, the poll finds a decline in belief that minorities are facing racial discrimination to the way that you hear, you know, Burn Luke Martin, sorry, Black Lives Matter, the way that they present it. They said three and ten people, however, believe that DEI does increase discrimination. It increases discrimination against white people. And this is a survey that was conducted by the Associated Press. And they said that slightly less than half of U.S. adults believe that black Americans face a, quote, great deal or, quote, quite a bit of discrimination in the United States.

It's a decline from a solid majority that was 60% in 2021. And that was after the George Floyd situation. there's it's it's interesting too because the belief of i think there's probably more discrimination particularly in collegiate levels for Asians than black Americans so that's very interesting so also justin timberlake says he's having a secret health battle and says it's because he has lime disease i thought it was alcoholism uh but i mean maybe it is i don't know apparently ben stiller has it as well it's like one of those like mysterious things i mean i think from what everybody's says it's, you know, what you get, it's like a tick-borne disease, you get tired, it affects you

in a number of different ways. But he says that he was diagnosed with that. And so he's had headaches, rashes, palsy, shooting pains, numbness, and nerve pain. And so apparently that's why he's not been moving a lot on tour because I didn't realize there was a lot of discussion about why he was a robot on tour. Commuters are preparing to walk home in deluge as New York, New Jersey declare states of emergencies because of severe flooding. So this is I mean it's They had it like think three inches per hour across parts of the city in New York

Forecaster said that it's going to make it I mean it's rain you know I mean so they have a serious thunderstorm But widespread flooding I'm not I don't know We'll see but some of the areas sure I would imagine But they said it's going to be raining a lot be careful Blah blah blah Today's young adults are four times more likely to have rectal cancer

Coulin cancer Rectal cancer all the cancers. Not the backs, though. Not the backs. Well, I do think with the colon stuff, I actually don't think it's necessarily related to that because this was spiking way before COVID. It was way before COVID.

They already had plans in place to literally create an entire wing, I think, at Baylor and Houston. Well, not this bad in this age group. That's the nuance here. So they, because so rectal cancer, it's apparently two times higher for colon cancer. So rectal cancer is increasing. Colon cancer, they're attributing to processed foods and antioxidants. antibiotics, which really does predate the pandemic. We got a lot more on the way, stick with us. Normally,

I'm a little bit scared of AI and a little scared of robots. I'm going to be honest. But there's one thing that I absolutely trust AI to do. And that's this.

Paul that there's no evidence that Hamas is looting the trucks. Today, the United Nations own data that they published said 90% of the trucks from May to July were looted by Hamas. Okay, that data, hold on, Scott, stop, stop. Stop. That data says that those trucks that you're talking about, it's not 90%, but those trucks that you are talking about were either taken by hungry people or by armed looters. And who are the armed looters? Hold on a second, Scott. Do you know how many, what proportion of those trucks were taken by armed looters versus hungry people? No, you don't. Like she does. I mean, if I were going to, if I was going to nail like one of the most, I think probably perhaps unformed people in news, I think it would be her.

CNN. I can't even remember her name and I don't care. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. We are at the top or sorry, bottom of this first hour. That's the, that is the insane narrative. And I'm, that I see being promoted constantly around everything. Like, oh my gosh, these starving people in Gaza. And it's. It's horrific and and it's all Israel's doing. Israel's doing all of this. There's no blame. There's nothing ever, anything's nothing's ever assigned to Hamas ever. Hamas apparently is not responsible for the country that it actually runs and and was democratically elected to govern because it was. It was democratically elected to govern. So I have a piece that's coming out about this actually over at Substack later today. and I'll send it out to you because I'm just, I get so tired of seeing this narrative. And of course, it was blown up because you had Emmanuel Macron who announced that they're going to reward Hamas with recognition of statehood. And then you had Kier Starmor, fat old meathead Kier Starmor, who, you know, he did not want to be outdone by Emmanuel Macron.

So he went out there and said the same thing. You have the leader of Portugal. Portugal came out and said similarly. And then, of course, Canada now is talking about going in this direction. I don't understand the eagerness of some of these weak foreign leaders to serve as like the geopolitical Baca Bazi to the terror states. You know what I'm talking about? The geopolitical dancing boys to these terror states. I don't understand their eagerness to serve that purpose. And that's why I give a lot of credit to POTUS for really laying down the law with us.

And it's, you know, this idea that, well, they have to take substantive steps to in the situation in Gaza. That's something that Hamas needs to be doing. It's, it's, any kind of ceasefire or anything. That all lays on Hamas doing this. Starmer has said, quote, I will always, I've always said that we will recognize the Palestinian state as a contribution to proper peace process at the moment, blah, blah, blah. And they said that they, they want a two state solution, which Israel didn't even have a problem with the two-state solution. The entity that always had the problem with the two-state solution previously was the Palestinian Authority and under that Fata in Hamas. And then particularly Hamas, and it's one of the reasons Fata lost a lot of influence

in the West Bank and why Hamas was set, was poised to overtake them in power and influence. And it's actually one of the reasons why they had the postponement of their election because Hamas was so overwhelmingly elected. I mean, no, it wasn't fake. When people, are putting up like shrines to Hamas leaders in, you know, and it's not fake. It's a legitimate thing. But that's when you have people who are generationally raised and brainwashed in that, that's all they know. That's all they believe. So, you know, it's not shocking. It's only shocking to people who don't understand the area and don't understand the history of the people running the area to those people. And some of them are the loudest on social media. They just really don't know because they're really

ignorant on the subject. And it's such a shame because maybe they don't have the internet where they are in their pole in the somewhere out in the middle of nowhere. But um to that point, this is something that Israel always pushed back on as well. And I, I noticed this. I got, I, um, I was trolling yesterday. I was. I'm not going to, so. I made some of these individuals very upset because I agreed with POTUS, right? And I, well, I, the way I said it was, oh no, I made some Imam fluffing terror cucks pupset because I said Trump is correct to not reward the legitimization of terror. And by, oh, no, I mean, L.O.L. It's true. I saw some say, oh, well, if a trade deal with Canada is beneficial to the American people, it should go on regardless of their stance. You know, the benefit

should be the guiding principle here. The benefit to the American people is achieved by not recognizing a welfare terrorist state whose own Arab neighbors won't take them as citizens. Trump is exactly right here. So like I said, I give, I give major credit to Trump for doing that, especially because there are some within the right who apparently just think that we should reward terrorism by just allowing this recognition of statehood. Now, and again, I've said up before, I don't use the phrase Palestine. I say Gaza or Gaza, because Palestinian and Palestine, these are made up words. Like assault weapon is a made up word. Like cisgender is a made up word. Like the I like, we like dealing in science and, you know, real history. And, you know, we're not the

people who pretend that it did Kentucky's wing and be called a woman. We don't play in fiction like that. I had said this before that also that Gosson overwhelmingly voted for Hamas. They remained so popular that they were expected to win broader control in the West Bank until elections were suspended. And they still remain super popular today. And I have numerous. surveys available for those of you who are a subscriber over at Substack that you'll be able to see. And even after October 7th, that's one of the reasons why you saw thousands of people in the streets in Gaza celebrating when they were bringing in Israeli and American hostages. It's one of the reasons why both American and Israeli hostages were saying that they were

kept in average everyday homes. It wasn't just Hamas. And I know that that's what the left doesn't really like to admit, but it was not just Hamas. So, the argument that a lot of these people are making is, oh, well, this is stolen land. It's not. And I just want to address that, too. That's nonsense. The word Palestine comes from Philistine. And people think that, you know, the people who are terror simps think that that means it's somehow proof of ownership from thousands of years ago. And it's not. I mean, again, after the second Judean uprising, Hadrian, out of spite, Rome, out of spite, decided to name it after the Philistines, who were a, I mean, they warred with Judea and they, like 200 years prior, they hadn't been there in a long time.

But the idea that this, you know, this entire modern saga of Palestine is pure fairy tale. It is a thousand percent fairy tale. They're trying, oh, they're trying to argue with it. No, no. In fact, Philistines, it's actually, they meant Palestine. No, they didn't. They're talking about a seafaring people from Crete. That's what they're talking about.

Gossans actually are mostly Jordanians. They are. And the strip of beachfront to the north of Egypt was always, previously Israel's. In the early aughts, they withdrew entirely. Families were forced to leave their homes. Families, children, leave schools. They left greenhouses. They left supermarkets with food on the shelves.

They left everything. The sewer system. Irrigation. They left everything behind. It was a welfare gift to a welfare. Fair Queen terrorist state. And then promptly, when they moved in, Hamas began stripping everything out and fashioning crude bombs and rockets so that they could kill everybody that was their neighbor. They dug tunnels underground. They stored munitions beneath schools and beneath hospitals.

They fired rockets from the tops of schools. They buried things in churches, all of this other stuff. and then they would act shocked if someone struck back or one of the things that and actually this is pretty commonplace whenever they would have one of their crude rockets fire off errantly into the whatever they would throw their hands in the air

and blame Israel for doing it. So this idea that Hamas is just this poor entity that's constantly picked on is a terror simp narrative. It's fantasy. And it's sad.

When they paraglided into Israel and massacred thousands of people and took hostages, including Americans, and they baked babies and they sliced off women's breasts while raping them to death, the world was horrified. And then everybody immediately forgot and demanded that not only should Israel forget about the millionth broken ceasefire by Hamas, but they should also continue sending food and resources to Hamas more than they were already regularly sending. Now, Egypt shut their borders in Rafa, and they absolutely refused to take any Gazans. Lebanon. Lebanon already had a problem. Late 60s going into the early 80s,

they had a civil war that was created by taking Gazans in. So all of these other Arab nations, anytime they've ever accepted Gazans, all hell has broken loose. No one in the Arab world wants them in their country. And there's a reason why. It has nothing to do with Israel. It has to do with a bunch of Islamists raising an entire Islamist society. That is why you have martyrs funds. Families are rewarded when their sons go out and blow themselves up. They're rewarded. And the people, they like Hamas. I mean, these kids, these adults, some of them are husbands, some of them are sons, some of them are uncles, they blow themselves up in the name of terrorism and they take Jewish people with

them and if they are able to do that, then they get a reward and what's the loss of a son when in turn you get a godlike level of notoriety and money. And then they have Pollywood. Oh, Hamas became filmmakers. They created Pallywood propaganda and you've seen some of it. You saw some of it. We talked about it with the New York Times. and the photographs of the hungry children, you also saw it with the narrative of the church that was bombed.

There wasn't a church that was bombed. There was shrapnel that hit the top of the church, and it was not a direct strike, and that was all it was. And there were services in the building that very next day. But the way that Hamas, you know, because Hamas cares so much about these Christians, say all of these terror simps, out there who are eager to do the Bacabazi for these terror nations, all of these terror simps out there, we're saying, oh my gosh, look, can you believe Israel bombed a church? They actually believe that Hamas likes Christians more. Do you know that there's video that I retweeted, by the way, on social media. You can't understand any of it. But it actually gets into, it's a video of Hamas leaders

saying that they're not satisfied with going after Israelis. In fact, the quote from these commanders is our issue is killing every non-Muslim. We will pursue Jews and Christians all over the world. Either they will convert to Islam or will kill them. That is the latest video from Hamas commanders. And yet we're supposed to believe from these terrorist cucks out here in the United States that pretend to be on the right when really they're just trying to get their fetish off by being little neo-Nazisies. It's their problem that, not their problem entirely, that they're probably the result of cousins coupling.

But the logic stands. these people think that somehow Hamas is going to be nicer to Christians than Israelis, or that Hamas is a better ally in that region to a Christian nation than Israel or anybody else. Hamas, which is entirely propped up by Iran and even with input from Russia. Are you kidding me? Really? No, those are the Hamas commanders. They said that this isn't just about Israel. It's about everybody.

And yet you have people here going, oh, but Hamas, we need to recognize. this is what you're talking about recognizing as a state. This is what France wants to recognize as a sovereign state. This is what Portugal wants to recognize as a sovereign state. It is what the UK wants to recognize as a sovereign state and Canada as well. And people have the audacity to say that POTUS doesn't have the right to mull over or rethink a trade deal with a nation that would so eagerly bend itself over and grab its ankles in the face of this kind of nonsense. Are you serious? I don't know that I want a trading partner that weak and stupid.

But this is the reality of it. This is what we're dealing with. And Trump is absolutely right. And I hope the position is more than just a negotiating card for leverage. I mean, why would we want a trading partner that cruelly abandons hostages as all of these people, all of these nations are doing, legitimizes terrorism, rewards terrorism? What is the value, as I said, for the United States and weak Western allies eager to serve as geopolitical Bakabazi to terror states? Gazans live in poverty because they backed a terror group that keeps it that way. A terror group that remains super popular.

And UAE and Saudi leaders, they oppose Islamism because it harms their ability to expand commercially beyond oil and gas. They see the writing on the wall. They see EVs. They see electric everything. they're trying to expand. That's why they got e-sports, UFC, fashion, film festivals, all of this. They're trying to do everything they can

to open up more commercially. While also dealing with Qatar that plays footsy with Iran because they share a gas field out in the Persian Gulf. No, the problem is in Israel, it's Hamas and all of their enablers, including these mindless, radical

imam fetishizing simps here in the United States, who think that history began the day that open their X account. We have a lot of problems with illiteracy in this nation. Financial illiteracy and historical illiteracy. And we're going to continue having these problems until everybody stops infantilizing these terror groups.

Hamas has refused a two-state solution from the beginning and the only solution is complete annihilation. UAE and Saudis support that. They don't want Gaza. They don't want Hamas anywhere in Gaza. And they really honestly should just return it to Israel. Trump is right. and I hope that he holds.

We got more on the way as we roll towards days of these United States. The folks over at Caltech, the PR-57, is one of the latest from Caltech, a company based in Florida. It is a pistol chambered in 57, and it's smaller and lighter than some of the other ones on the market. So it's a good contender for concealed carry. They achieve the lightness and smallness, the new design, a number of different ways. first off, you have the rotary barrel, but then you also have a very unique top loading design that replaces traditional magazines with stripper clips for a slimmer carry profile and a 20 plus one capacity. MSRP is only 399. It's affordable. It's simplistic and reliable. You're able to

also have, I think, what is it? We got, instead of, they use actual stripper clips up top instead of the magazines. So when people on the left are talking about it and saying clips, they're actually accurate. Look at that. They can be accurate for the first time ever. Rotary barrel pistol. It is the PR 57, Chamberton 5-7, from Keltec. It's made in America. K-E-L-T-E-C-Weapons.com. Tell them Dana sent you. Get the lowdown on the latest news with a side of laughs.

But really, you've been hard at work, writing a book, meeting with leaders, thinking about the future of our country.

Who said that? I just, I hate everything. I especially her. loathe, I should say. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. That's Kamala Harris, who was trying to sell her book.

It's a slow newsday. She's trying to sell her book. And I don't think anybody's going to buy it. I'm really interested in seeing sales after the first week, aren't you? Oh, yeah. Very interested. Oh, yeah.

And seeing what them sales look like that first week. Very much so. Because that just... Why is she so like that? Why is she so awkward? She can't help it. It's just who she is. You either love it or you don't, and we clearly don't.

But that's just who she is. She should be in politics. What was that even supposed to be? I don't understand the meme of that. It's a thing going around online where people say these like, quote-unquote, existential things while they're not looking at the camera and then turn around and be like, who said that? Like, who was that? Said that. Even though they were the ones that literally just said it.

Like they were channeling. some message from on high. I can't deal with these people. I swear if I have to if I have to endure another campaign cycle of this woman, no one's safe. No one's going to be safe. No one's. It would be self-destruction of the party, I think, if they did that. I couldn't imagine them doing that. She was trying to tell Colbert, because she was on Colbert,

his stupid little show, that the reason that she doesn't want to run for re-election again is because she lost. It's not because she lost an election. It's not because she doesn't or the reason she doesn't want to run for governor. It's because she it's not because she wants to run for president because she lost. She said, I don't want to go back

into the system because the system is broken. And so wait, she just gave up, I guess. I mean, the system is you. The system is you. You're the system. What does that even mean? You are literally the system. I just don't want to go back into the system. Listen, listen. Listen to our.

You announced yesterday, you made an announcement that you're not running for the governor of California. Correct. Even though in early polling, you beat every other candidate by double digits. You said you're going to sit this one out. Why are you sitting this out? Are you sitting yourself for a different office that might be? No, no. That's what everybody is. Obviously. Obviously, people project on to their hopes and dreams. And honestly, it's more perhaps basic than that. I am, listen, I am a devout public servant. I have spent my entire career in service of the people.

And I thought a lot about running for governor. I love my state. I love California. I've served as just elected district attorney, attorney, general, and senator. But to be very candid with you, I, you know, when I was a young, young in my career, I had to defend my decision to become a prosecutor with my family. And one of the points that I made is why is it then when we think we want to improve a system or change it?

Oh my gosh. I'm just on the outside on bended knee or trying to break down the door. Shouldn't we also be inside the system? I'm asleep. I'm going to sleep. She's putting me to sleep. I can't deal. I can't listen her. I can't deal with her. That's how Colbert's audience felt too. Yeah, I mean, clearly, that's just, oh my gosh. So, yeah, they're all falling asleep as well. So you're the system. And the system actually, I mean, what we're learning, I don't know, from some of the stuff that we've been seeing was irredeemably corrupt and was designed to actually favor you. I mean, I guess, I don't know if she, I guess didn't, she didn't catch that part with all of the collusion documents and everything else, all of this stuff.

Everybody's now really starting to understand how far the left went to alter the course of an election after the election happened. That's the crazy thing. It's not before the election. It was after it happened. I mean, you have everybody from the CIA director to the director of national intelligence. And, you know, they were all, there was an op-ed, and we pulled this up. They had an op-ed in the, this was the day before yesterday in the New York. Times where they were saying, let's set the record straight on Russia and 2016. That was their editorial that they ran. We're going to set the record straight. Brennan and Clapper, really? I mean, all it did, and I was reading this column, and I have it from behind the paywall.

By the way, if you ever want to get something non-paywalled, just go on the U.R. where they have the HTTPS and then it's like the colon slash slash and then after the slash slash just type archive.is slash and you can get past anything. You're welcome. Anyway, so they had the let's set the record straight. I was reading this and so Brennan, first off, both of these guys have perjured themselves previously. You know, you want to, and we're talking about the system that Kamala Harris says is, you know, just irrevocably broken. They were denying. the accusations and they were both maintaining that they never relied on that steel dossier to do what they did, which we all know was a lie because remember going back, I think it came out in

2018, I think it came out in 2018 that the only reason that there were surveillance warrants or that were wiretaps were granted based on the application for warrant was entirely predicated upon the dossier. Well, let me add a caveat. Not just the dossier, but all of the reporting that was compiled and presented with as, you know, it was the dossier, but it was the dossier that had been laundered in the press, through the press. So you had a bunch of these different stories by friendly journals and they were taking this information, this discredited, stuff that even before Fusion GPS began laundering it through the press, the FBI could not validate anything in it. And they were kind of, we can't, we, we can't validate any of this. And even with that,

because remember, Fusion GPS had FBI contacts and DOJ contacts through Nellie Ower, Bruce Ower, Lisa Page, Peter Strach, all these people. So they, instead of, they didn't just take this dossier from this disgraced British spy to the FISA court. They laundered all these stories through the press. Some of the reporters we know, some we don't, because their names were redacted. One of them was at Yahoo News. There were several others, New York Times. And they took the reporting that was reporting created from their discredited oppo that the FBI would not verify. And so they tried to act like it was a separate discovery apart from the original dossier. And so, they took that to this FISA judge and were like, look at this. This is, I mean, clearly there's

something here. Look at all these stories. And they bypassed the regular protocol that would normally protect against such like a wide ranging net casting like this. And they granted it. And the judge that did it ended up stepping down. She had to, she was, she resigned. Technically fired. But that's, that's what they did. And it was very duplicitous. They ran it. And they tried to say, well, we did never rely on the dossier. Well, then it came out that the only reason that this, these wiretaps were even granted in the first place was specifically because of the dossier, because of the reporting. And they were trying to pull like some semantics by saying, well, you know, it wasn't the dossier. It was just they were looking at other independent reporting. It wasn't

independent reporting. I mean, we know for a fact that Fusion GPA had been in contact with a number of these reporters. I mean, it's been widely reported, widely discussed. Some of the emails were actually released. And so we know that they were shopping this information around. So you can't say that it wasn't the dossier. It was all of the guts of the dossier that was wandered through the press and then published out for that. And it's just, it's asinine

to argue otherwise. So in this column, they are, they're desperately trying to, desperately trying to absolve themselves of this. Audio Sunday, 15, this was Brennan, saying, well, we never actually,

you know, we never mentioned collusion in the beginning. Listen to this. And the intelligence community assessment that we wrote back then that the analyst wrote, said that we didn't have any information whatsoever about what the impact was on the election. Then it tells the community assessment never mentioned the word collusion. Not at all. So what they do is they misrepresent the facts, mischaracterized what is said, and then claim that we were engaged in this big conspiracy. Yeah, well, you were. I mean, this is not up for dispute anymore.

after numerous IG reports, you were. He also said, well, there was no conspiracy. I mean, everything that we did was correct. Listen, this is 16. Well, if the director of CIA and the director of national intelligence make referrals to the Department of Justice, I think the Department of Justice has to do something to respond to it. So putting together an internal strike force,

whatever, to take a look at this information is certainly, I think, understandable, but also I'd like to think that professionals in the Department of Justice will dismiss any of these referrals because they're baseless. They really are. So again, I stand ready to continue to talk about the assessment and what we did during that period of time. There was absolutely no conspiracy, and we continue to stand behind what it is that we have said publicly. Okay, well, what did you say publicly? You were trying to, I mean, they literally were pushing this false claim of collusion.

New York Times. This is a piece that ran, let me pull this up. this was back in March of 2018. And the story was that they were, they were accusing Trump of collusion. Ex-chief of CIA suggests Putin may have compromising information on Trump. Now, he's relying on this dossier for this. They mentioned collusion.

He's again relying on the dossier for this. I mean, there's tons of reporting to the contrary. I don't know why they insist on saying this. I mean, we know this. They, I, I, I, you can't lie to people when they've seen it. You know, when you, when we have numerous IG reports, we have emails, we know the, we know the, we know for a fact that you guys were shopping this stuff to the press because a lot of that correspondence was released as well. But what they were trying, they absolutely were trying to pull, to pull, to pull, to pull, to pull, a stunt on the American people using the press as well. And now all of this stuff is being declassified

and you can see, yes, it was a secret plan by the Clinton campaign. And yes, the Clinton campaign and the DNC spearheaded it. Keep in mind, once more, I'll remind everybody, they had to pay a serious fine through the FEC because they were, they had violated campaign finance law. And they were, they did not disclose the nature of their relationship with Fusion GPS. They just like the way that Bruce Ower and Nellie O'er never disclosed to the FISA judge that the reporting that they were bringing the court to consider a wiretap actually came from discredited oppo that was solicited by and paid for by the DNC and Hillary Clinton. And then it was laundered through the press to make it appear that it wasn't oppo material but like independent reporting from whistleblowers. And so that they could boost their credibility of the claim so that they could better, they could more easily get a wiretap. So they got slapped for that.

They got in trouble. I mean, I think paying the fine was the least that they could do, but they got in trouble for that. So, you know, you can't say that they didn't do anything, but then they also paid a fine. You know, you can't simultaneously have both of those positions. You can't be Brennan and Clapper and say that we didn't, you know, we, we didn't rely on the dossier. And then literally make arguments in the press for years after 2016 about how, well, this is what the dossier said. And this is what this information said. I mean, oh my gosh.

We've played this audio on the. the show. They both need to be in jail. Both of those old dudes need to be in jail because they lied under oath repeatedly on separate issues that related to spying on American citizens. We have more on the way as we roll two headlines. It is our friends, the good folks over at Superbeats. You guys are familiar with Superbeats, Hartews. I know you are because you take them and you like them and it's a good product. Now they also have the SuperBoreen product. And the SuperBoreen is all about healthy metabolism and really good blood sugar support. That's what the super brain is about. And the superbrane that they used, it's not like some always sunny in Philadelphia bridge denim, bridge berbering. It's like a good

quality berbering. And they can last, but you know, it's true. It's because they're, they're crazy nerds. And I say that in the best way possible. They're like, we're not going to use any berberine. We want a berberine that actually is, you know, powerful and it does what it's supposed to do. So this, what it means is that it's higher absorption. It's clinically, studied to deliver nearly 10 times higher absorption than just your regular burberine. And That means it's just one easy to swallow capsule a day. That's all it is. Further, they also include things like olive fruit extract, so that helps with minimizing

GI distress. So there's no excuses to support your healthy metabolism and blood sugar.

Weather satellites detected a 515 mile long lightning flash. I think that's a new record. Did it hit anybody? It hit anything? That's pretty crazy. It was a mega flash. It stretched from Texas to Missouri. But why are we only just now learning about it if it was apparently from 2017? Yeah. I don't like that. I don't like it. I'm less interested. said now. Oh my gosh. A mass circumcision ceremony leaves 39 boys dead and dozens more mutilated after botched procedures during tribal initiation in South Africa. What? It was an initiation ceremony. Teenage males in South Africa. They undergo agonizing circumcision and it 39 deaths, dozens more just brutally mutilated.

Despite the government studying a target of zero fatalities from it that year. Well, Last year it was 93 fatalities. And so far in the last five years, 361 fatalities of young teenage males. That's unbelievably gruesome. Yeah, they use old spears and razor blades. Why? That's, come on, come on.

Can we not do this? That's just, that's rough, man. That's rough. Let's see. Also, oh, interesting. Potatoes from tomatoes. Apparently, they're saying that ancient, interbreeding is what gave us potatoes.

Really? Potatoes and tomatoes, apparently it's the potato's ancestor is a tomato. It's a fruit. That's kind of weird because it's super, that is really weird. We got a lot more on the way. Stay with us, the folks who help make it possible. Partners that include Burn a gun, B-Y-R-N-A. It shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away.

And the burn a gun is easy, I mean, no recoil, easy target would actually. target acquisition. And this is a great idea for somebody who is disarmed by municipal restrictions, private property restrictions. Maybe you're a college student and you have to live on your own and you can't carry a pistol, but you want to be able to carry something to defend yourself. This is where the burn a gun comes in. And there's several different kinds, but for the purposes of self-defense, I'm not going to talk to you about rifles. I think you should look at the SD, which is their pistol, or the COL, which is a compact pistol, smaller than the SD, which is why it's called compact, and it's literally in its name, CL. And this,

My friends, we need to face the heart truth of this administration.

It has been to ease all the gains we've made in my administration. To erase history rather than make it. To erase fairness, equality, to race justice itself. And that's not hyperbole. That's a fact. That's a fact, because I said it was. God, we just go away. You lost. Go away now. Welcome back to the show. Dan Lash with you. We're at the bottom of the second hour. And I knew. What was he?

What was he on? His tie was crooked and it's bothering me. What was he on for? He was on. What was that from? The Bar Association Gala in Chicago last night. Boy, they had to dope him up to get him out for that. Dang.

They really did. Ugh. I don't know. I get that he wants to try to make it to where he's kind of a king-maker. still, but he didn't have any influence when he had all of his marbles. He has even less influence now. And I don't, I don't know. What are they doing? I know all of the information, all or all of the headlines are about Republicans and everybody's talking about jobs numbers today. And, you know, we've got May revised down by 125,000 from 144. And some of my friends

like Carol Roth and others are complaining about the data that the government has. And it's like, it's just not completely unreliable. Like if they don't have it, then don't report on it. I mean, they're completely unreliable. Are we shocked that the government is unreliable at reporting anything? No. Are we shocked? I don't think we are. So, and there's a huge surge amongst data distrust with Americans. And it, it, I see it. We saw it though, under the previous, under, under, Biden's administration though, too, because they would inflate how many jobs are created. What was it one month? It was almost like a million. No, there was a million jobs that they had to revise downward.

They made it up entirely. They just like fabricated it out of the ether. It's important to note that if we saw failing job numbers during the last five months here, that the Fed would have to lower rates in order to help out the economy and help that employment issue. Well, the fact that these numbers came out inflated, leads me to believe there was someone nefariously inflating these numbers so that the Fed had an excuse to hold on these rates and not move these rates at all. And that's silly to me.

Someone said that it was because we laid off a bunch of people from Bureau of Labor Statistics, and that's why the data is unreliable. I'm not even kidding to you. I don't know if it was on CNN or wherever it was. They don't know how long we've been getting unreliable data. This is malpractice, though. I mean, how are you, how can, when everything is so wildly inaccurate, how are you expected to rely on anything that's being reported by our own government?

This is what happens when you politicize absolutely everything. When you politicize everything, this is what happens. So I, I don't know. I, I'm, you, so wait, is this, so did, so Powell, did he know about all of this in advance? I mean, the Fed would have to know. at least they have the ability to look at the accurate data because it's what they do for crying out loud it's decision-making data so they would be privy to the most accurate i don't know i don't like it well i mean as you can imagine this is a a huge headline that's being circulated on top

of the epstein stuff employer new york times employers pulled back on hiring adding 73 000 jobs CNBC, U.S. added just 73,000 jobs in July, and numbers for prior months were revised much lower. MSNBC, U.S. job growth turns cold as Trump agenda takes its toll on the economy. Krogman, the meaning of a weak jobs report. Oh, man, unemployment rose 4.2 percent in July, his hiring fell sharply. Wall Street Journal, U.S. hiring slowed sharply over the summer. In B.C., U.S. job market was a week July. Oh, there's more.

There's more. Financial Times. U.S. labor market suffered sharp slowdown over the past three months. So this is all, uh, all the, and then right after these headlines, the next thing that's trending is, uh, where is it at? Where is it? Oh, uh, Jolene Maxwell is moved from Florida to a Florida prison to a from a Florida prison to a prison in Texas. It's apparently like a low, low security or something like that. And then the FBI redacted Trump's name in Epstein files from Bloomberg. These are the top stories today. I mean, it's no surprise that there's uncertainty in the market, which are why these

hirings are not happening because right now it's very expensive to borrow money as a business because the rates are high. Yes. So until we get the rates lower and allow these businesses to start hiring again, that's going to be a problem, which is why the Fed's too late. I mean, they literally are too late on this. Way so. And on top of this, which I think that this is one.

one of the most ridiculous stories that I've heard. This comes from CNN. I just want to put the headline. Now, wait, let me pause. Let me pause. So earlier this week, Macron reaffirmed. They want to recognize a Gaza state, right? Okay, so here's this headline.

This is why I, you'll see why. France halts all evacuations from Gaza over alleged anti-Semitic reposts by a Palestinian student. Okay. They're going to deport a Gaza's, student accused of reposting alleged anti-Semitic content on her social media and halt all evacuations from the territory per France's foreign minister. They Jean-Noel Berrault said, quote, she must leave the country. She does not have a place in France. The foreign minister

did not name her. She was also expelled from her university. She was going to college in France. And apparently it's dom. This is dominating French news coverage. And they said, the interior minister said that her content amounts to Hamas propaganda. And that is Bruno Ritalio, who said that I immediately requested the disclosure of this hateful account. And the Gaza refugee who was enrolled said kill Jews everywhere amongst other things. So wait a minute, though. France was going to recognize her territory as its own state and reward them for that. So what's the problem?

It's like they didn't know what they were getting into. Are you serious? You had no idea that this is what you were getting into? You had no idea. What did I say? That people are, they're generationally, it's a generational thing. They are raised to have these thoughts. And you can't be shocked when they manifest as they get older.

So the incident has sparked a political firestorm, and it has apparently like it's trended there for the past couple of days. France has evacuated hundreds of people from Gaza in the past couple of years. And just last Tuesday, Borough said that France was, quote, dedicating lots of energy to get starving journalists from the French news agency, Ajean France Press, out of the enclave. Their starving journalists came. The borough added the humanitarian situation in Gaza is inhumane saying it's a scandal that must stop immediately. shut up, shut your stupid French mouth up. Who created this problem? My gosh, you little dancing boys for these Islamists.

Who created this problem? Hamas did. Inhumane. Yes, Hamas is inhumane. I'm not going to allow this whole thing to be repurposed. Like, well, Israel's the bad guy because they defended themselves. I'm going to tell you what. If I didn't have to answer to anyone and I was running a nation that was attacked,

I would obliterate the entire nation in response. There would not be a structure left standing. There would not be a tree. There would be nothing. It would be completely destroyed. I would take out every generational threat. And then I would develop it and turn it into prime beachfront real estate. That's what I would do.

And the people who don't have the balls to do the same are the problem. those are the weak people that lead nations to ruin because they're a bunch of soft cucks and they sit around and they oh they politicize this and they make everything worse by dragging it out mission creep all of this other stuff that is the whole reason that this is even a problem in the first place is because all of these idiotic soft mush spine leaders have been telling Israel no no no you need to be careful you need to show mercy you need to go slow that's we've been we've been doing that for 30s. years. We've watched this for 30 years now. None of that has worked. It's time to go scorched earth because everybody's done with us. This idea, oh, it's inhumane. Yes, it was inhumane that Hamas immediately began robbing the infrastructure and using it to create munitions and bombs. Yes, it's inhumane that they brainwashed their citizenry to celebrate sending their sons and husbands, uncles and nephews out to go and blow themselves up and take as many of Israelis with them. And then they reward them.

Taxpayer funded money, by the way. Us, yeah, we were the one. Our money was winding up in these martyrs coffers. I'm not kidding you. The martyr fund that they would give a stipend to these families. So they get endless notoriety in their area. And then they get a cash payout. Mm-hmm.

You know, answer me a question, Burrow and all of these other dancing boys for these Islamists. If it's so, if they're struggling so badly, why don't any of Hamas's leaders sell off some of their properties or belongings in order to pay for it? I'll never forget that image of, oh, and I have this. It's coming out in the substand. The image of the one Hamas leader, his wife. Do you guys remember this story? This was like back right after October 7th. And then when Israel finally responded, as was their right to do, they had a photo. It was like a secure. security image of Senoir's pathetic wife fleeing Gaza

in tunnels and she was carrying her Birken bag her Hermes Birken bag the Hermes Berkin and that that thing is like 20 to $25,000 a purse it's $20 to $25,000

how much food how much resource could that have purchased for starving Gazans? I think she's also wearing Gucci shoes, but I don't want to smear Gucci like that. But she's, yeah, she was literally, and just visible. She had it like front and center, and she had her little twilly on it and everything. And she's running out with a $25,000 bag.

Yeah, the Senoir, the head of Hamas before he got blowed up. You know, they live in penthouses and cut her. They're riches all get out. They own property. They got investments in oil and gas. They are rich. They don't do a damn thing for those people. But people love them because they hate the Jews, so they love Hamas.

That's really ultimately what it's about. It's just wild to me. And then I, there's this, these arguments you might think that people with common sense see this, but you'd be shocked. Because there is a bubbling sentiment that is coming up on the right about this stuff. And I see it, you know, from people who host different podcasts and things like that. they're such horrors for clicks. Absolute horrors for clicks. And they'll platform people like Harvey Weinstein,

which, by the way, riddle me this. How is it that the Jews run Hollywood and then somebody's going to platform Harvey Weinstein and talk about the injustice of his conviction? I mean, I guess once a hustler for Al Sharpton, always a hustler for Al Sharpton. Am I right? I'm talking about Candace Owens in case anybody,

like, didn't get the hint. I just, I find that kind of clickbait hoarding sad. quote me. So the push on this, and you've seen it too, Kane, you've seen this bubble up too. There's some of this on the right. And they're like, oh, we don't want any A-PAC politicians.

Do they even know what A-PAC is or what A-PAC does? Look, there's legitimate questions to ask of Israel. Is it legitimate questions to ask of any damn government? Israel isn't a sacred cow. It doesn't mean you can't criticize their government. but that's not what I'm seeing. What I'm seeing is, oh, it's so mean that they're the way that they're responding in Gaza and it's so mean and these people are starving.

That's Hamas did that. I mean, they gave up. These families left their homes to these people in Gaza. Imagine, I want you all out there to imagine. You are told by your government that they are unilaterally withdrawing from your town and you have to give up your home, take what you can carry, and you have to leave. You're leaving your supermarkets behind food on the shelves. You're leaving your greenhouses, all your tomato plants and the stuff that you've been growing.

You've got to leave all that behind. Leave behind your home. Leave everything. Leave your desks in your kids' schools. You have to uproot and leave. And the reason you're there in the first place is because you won a conflict already. You won a war. So now you have to leave everything.

And you give your neighborhood. you give your town to people who then immediately gut your house so that they can make pipe bombs to go and try to kill you. Hamas did this. Gaza did this. I'm so tired of this nonsense. And I'm tired of people on the right who platform this Islamist cuckery. It is the we are in, they're the dancing boys for Hamas. All of them are.

And I hope that sounds as intentionally inflammatory as I'm trying to make it. be because I think that at some point you have to be caustic to really wake some of these sheep up and drive the point home. If they were critical, these people can't even explain to you how Israel's government is situated and how it is formed and what it's comprised of, but they're going to try to gaslight you into thinking that their problem is just with the government and not because they just don't like Jews. That's the truth of it.

I found, I think, the best, oh, we have this, but I wanted to get this, this, this,

resource and this is probably my favorite headline of this week. Smokey Bear aids the arrest of a man accused of stealing and reselling Smokey Bear signs. This is a just, it's just a comical. I mean, he was going to, he was arrested by Smokey the Bear. This guy stole Smokey the Bear signs and he was going to resell them or sell them on Facebook marketplace. Oh, and he done got caught. He got caught. They were, these signs were listed for $1,900 each. And there are the, the, the, the, the, like, the, the, like the old timey Smokey the Bear signs of there like the standup where it's like Smokey the Bear almost life size and he's got a shovel and it's a drawing of him and he was going to sell them

on Facebook Marketplace for almost $2,000 a piece and then Smokey the Bear literally showed up with the police in Florida and helped arrest them which I think is hysterical when Smokey the Bear comes up to punk you. You know it's always been Smokey Bear. It's never been Smokey the Bear ever, is what they're saying. And that's a Mendela effect thing. Shut up. But apparently that's a real thing.

It's Smokey the Bear. It's Smokey the Bear. I'm not saying Smokey Bear. But they're saying it's Smokey Bear. No, you know what? Smoky. We're going to carry this. Oh my gosh.

I'm going to call him Smokey the Bear anyway. I don't care. His middle name is the third hour next. Welcome back to the program. We are at the top of our third hour on Friday. Half of you are still living up, living your best lives, finishing your summer, you're drunk by the pool or on the beach somewhere. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you. And we are, we are getting set up for the rest of the weekend. So,

we've, here's some, let me get this news out of the way. This has to do, we're going to go. This has to do with, ooh, cooperation for public broadcasting. You have to talk about it like that, because that's how they all sound. What do you think that they are front desk? people before they got all cut sounded like. Was it similar? So the Corporation for Public Broadcasting says it's going to end operations within months. The announcement being posted just minutes ago. This according to CBS News came. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting said they're going to wind down operations. Wait, okay. Okay. My question.

Here's the lead. It says, corporation for public broadcasting, they're winding down operations after its funding was eliminated by the Trump administration and Congress. Why is it after its funding was eliminated and not because progressives refuse to fund us to the extent that we need? Yeah, that should be the story. The left always claims to love this stuff, but then they don't ever actually like patronize it themselves. like WNBA, but then they don't patronize it. If they loved corporation for public broadcasting, if they loved all of this stuff as much as they say that they do,

why isn't George Soros? He's literally made of money. If you cut him, he bleeds dollars. Why doesn't he just write a check for this? Why doesn't his son, Soros Jr., write a check for this? Why don't the Clintons give up some of their money? Why doesn't Barack Obama sell one of his beach one of his beach, front houses and fund corporation for public broadcasting.

Why is it always no, we have to force everybody through taxation to pay for it? I have never, I don't care. I don't get my news from that. I don't get my news from any of that, nor do you. The only people who pay attention to any of that are, I think they're progressive boomers, maybe. Maybe some progressive millennials who try to be hipsters. But that's really kind of what it is.

I cannot tell you a single thing that they, I know that they did Sesame Street, and I know for a while they had Bear in the Big Blue House, and that was it. So my kids watched that. But, like, I don't mind. Not, here's what I'll do. If there's something I want to watch that's on,

like Corporation for Public Broadcasting or something, like say it was Downton Abbey, when everyone was watching, Julian Fellows is Downton Abbey. Now, if you said, like, how you, the way that they have it set up, right now, like on your streaming, if you have Apple TV, your streaming services, you could either get a subscription to corporation for public broadcasting and then you could watch all their

shows or you could just purchase the series and you could do it episodically or you could do the entire series. I'm fine with that. Like if it's something I want to watch, I will purchase the series or I will spend a dollar 99 and watch an episode or something, you know, I'm totally fine with that. But making me fund all of this stuff is assinine. That's like making you, it's like a tax to buy theater tickets for everyone, even though you don't really go to the theater. This is the same thing. We have a history of doing this with everything in government. That's why our health care is absolutely heinous. Because people like Steve and Kane and even Juan, you know, they've got to pay for gynecological care, even though they don't have wounds and any of the other stuff that goes

along with that. But they have to pay more for their health care to cover that stuff so other people can get it at a reduced cost or for free. And that is not my, that's, that's, no, that's not our obligation. Families struggle just to pay. I mean, good grief. Most people can't even make their deductible. Don't even meet the deductible that they have for the year. Sometimes it's like, what is the point of insurance? I mean, and that's the point. It's assonine. Oh, then you're fine if you don't have it. It's a, it's a, they do this with everything. They do it with literally everything. So we have this executive order, and this is one of the reasons why Congress needs to do something so that if we, heaven forbid, get a Democrat in office in 2028, they don't turn the spigot back on. Because as it stands right now, that's all they got to do. It can be reversed with another executive order. And the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, their CEO said, despite the extraordinary efforts of millions of Americans who called, wrote and petitioned Congress to preserve the federal funding, we now face difficult reality of closing our operations. Wait a minute. So all of these people called wrote, did they write checks?

Oh, apparently what they wrote did include checks. I used to do, back when we lived in St. Louis, I would do, I had a good relationship with the the local PBS station there, Corporation Public Broadcasting. And it was, it's weird because that was in, in, around downtown St. Louis, just outside of downtown limits. the PBS studio that's where they did what am I thinking of

Donny Brooke that's where they I did that a couple of times and they would do some of their little local programming there but really they made a lot of bank off of acting like a satellite station they had a hot spot for all the all the networks so

if CNN wanted to have someone join their program that person would go to the PBS station and then CNN would hire them out to run the cameras in light and they would get a makeup artist and all that. CNN did it. A.B. All of the networks used it. That was the place to go to. So whenever you see anybody in Missouri, anybody near it on the east side of it. And they have the St. Louis background. They're at the PBS station. That's where they all are. Everybody goes there. Anybody. That's where it all happens. I have been in that green room before with some of the craziest people. And I told you once how I was in there, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz.

and she let my youngest son play with her phone play angry birds on her phone and it took 80% of me wanted to snatch that phone and run out but I didn't 20% of me was like Dana that's your son there you know you take him too uh anyway I'm joking about the last part but not the phone so anyway uh everybody everybody always goes and they that's they that's they use that and they get a lot of money because those hits those satellite hits like that or those hits through those other stations. Those are thousands of dollars. So whenever someone joins a network for if they like you're watching Fox News or something or whatever and you see you know the three paneled and they have the different people. If they're joining from another city, that's thousands of dollars. That's a couple

thousand dollars just for that hit. And it's usually like five minutes. And that doesn't include bringing in. They always bring in makeup artists for people because they want them to look nice on air. People started relaxing their standards a little bit after COVID. Because previously, Fox, CNN, MSNBC, you were never allowed to use Skype or Zoom or any kind of like mobile device unless it was an emergency and you were there on the front lines. You know, you were never, that was never allowed, ever. You were never not allowed to have good lighting. You were never not allowed to like not be Foxified or CNNified or whatever. Now it's a little bit different.

But still, those costs for those little, those hits like that for those stations remain the same. So PBS in St. Louis, every time they had an event. And I'm not saying, and kudos to the people that actually support the stuff that they believe in. You know, that's great. You can support the stuff that you believe in and you can write the checks. Just don't force everybody else to. Because I have had hits there before where they have had like a big donor thing happening the same night. And it was always, I was always.

fascinated by the old money that was there, right? Wealth, wealth whispers, you know, money screams or money shouts. I was always very interested in the old money, the old St. Louis money that showed up there at these events. And I mean, they were always very elevated and aged people, but they would come in and you could, the parking lot would be full of like Mercedes and Cadillac and Jaguar, lots of Jaguar, all of that. And you knew, I mean, they, they, they, it was about as loud as it was, but they all were very nice looking and, you know, but they would have these big events there. So people would come and they would support it. But apparently they never had enough people that believed in it enough to support it that they could actually get by without the taxpayer funding. And that's not your

problem. That is not a you problem. It is not a me problem. It is a them problem. And every, multiple times a year. Didn't they do funding drives? Oh, yeah. And they would have people, I don't even think they do this anymore. Gen Z may not even know with this. Juan may never have seen anything like this. So do you remember the old school like telethons

where they would have like one row here and then a second row and a third row. And sometimes like for big things, they would have famous people sit there and answer the phones and people would call in to donate. They used to do things like that at the PBS's. would do different local PBSes. They would do like big, you know, a couple times a year. These fun, one was always around Christmas, these big fundraising things. And so the, the, I don't

know why they feel like the failure is because the government won't fund it when clearly the demographic that they are targeting, the people who watch their programs apparently don't find enough value in it to fund it themselves. That is. is the issue. You can, you can project it onto government or this administration all you want to, but that's not an accurate reflection of the real story. The real story is that your own people clearly don't find enough value in it. Like, I will tell you this, the last thing that I purchased, it was a series to watch, and it was from PBS. It was Marie Antoinette. It was like a new series. It's actually a really well done series. And it was a new, there's two seasons of,

it out and I purchased and it purchased that and it was pretty well historically accurate. The costumes were great. The lighting was really good. The scoring was very good. The casting was very good. Yeah, it was a masterpiece theater thing. And I have no problem with, you know, I'll pay $12.99 for a season. I'll do that. If it's something that I value and something I find interesting and I want to watch, but I sure as hell, I'm not going to sit here and pay for an entire season of an entire network where they have kids shows and they talk to kids about trannies. I'm not going to do that. So that's one of the things that I like about streaming services. And have you ever noticed, like, Kane, have they ever done an actual breakout of what people are doing al-a-cart purchases for on streaming?

I would be very interested in seeing that. I'm sure there's some way to find that data. That is, that really is, I think, probably the most accurate snapshot of what people are really driven to, because money does not lie. You're not going to, one thing that I know about people is that they are not going to part, even if it's like $2, $2.99, they are not going to part without money unless it's something they really want to watch. They're not just going to be like, they really want to watch it. They are not going to part with their money. Because when you look at it, think about it, it's not anything tangible that you could touch. You're sitting there, you're looking at it. Like, do I want to pay $2.99 for this series? Do I want to do that? Like you, you sit here and go back. Is anybody else did that or am I the only person? I'm like, $2.99. What? You know what I mean? But like if you're at the ballpark, you're like, oh, okay, I'll get a small tiny soda for $2.99, whatever. Right? Yeah. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. All right. So Steve just gave me this one. I got to include it. Everybody's being told on the East Coast, particularly in Delaware. Watch offered him jellyfish.

Ooh. This, they're facing unexpected challenges. jellyfish issue. They say the beautiful shores of Luz, or is it Lowe's Beach, are being disrupted by jellyfish. And they said that the hot weather and rain, they contributed to the worst jellyfish season Delaware has ever seen. They said stings have quadrupled in recent weeks. So they have beach patrols. It's because it's the jellyfish's house, right? You're in their house. So, and they apparently, I've never been stung by a jellyfish. But I also am really weird about where I will actually get into the water in because I just, I don't want to get eaten up by no shark. I don't want to get swallowed up by big old fish and I don't want to get

stung by some gelatinous sea creature. What do they taste like? What? Jellyfish. I don't know. I don't know if I've ever been served jellyfish before. That's something to think about. Anyway, be careful out there, guys. Okay, we're going to continue with our sea life theme here. An octopus, apparently, attacked a six-year-old boy for looking at it. It made eye contact. So the boy who's six years old made eye contact at an aquarium with this octopus. And I guess the octopus interpreted that as like a sign of hostility. And it climbed out. This was in Texas. And it wrapped itself around him. And he was terrified. He had bruises on his arm. And it, wow, he was ambushed. They said it was at the San Antonio

aquarium. It was on July 14th. Visitors can interact with animals, but KSAT said that employees would encourage guests to play with the octopus in its tank. Another of the employees were there, though, at the time, and they said it sectioned on to him, and they were trying to get it away. Women yelled for help. The mom was trying to free her son, and there's photos of it grabbing him, too. That's kind of, I would bite it. I'd be like, I will, I eat you, and I'm going to have you raw now. That's what's going to happen. Stick with us. We've got more in store.

Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you. A little talk talk there for a bumper. I really wish that on the stream, like we have the licensing where you could hear our bumper music, especially in Fridays because we always have the best bumper in all of radio. It's because we're all music nerds. So it works out. All right. So are we going to have like, were we having a nuke off? Okay. So, hold on. POTUS is deploying two nuclear submarines near Russia after foolish and inflammatory remarks. Oh boy. Here we go. So what happened? POTUS has ordered two U.S. nuclear subs to, this is just actually this afternoon, after Medvedev's,

Dmitri Medvedev, former Russian president. So he and Putin would like take turns, switching positions so they both remain, so Putin remained in power. The, uh, he apparently directed two U.S. nuclear subs to be positioned in appropriate regions, responding to Medvedev's recent statement that Trump classified as highly provocative. He wrote on true social, quote, based on the highly provocative statements of the former president of Russia, Dmitri Medvedev, who is now deputy chairman

of the national, of the Security Council on Russia Federation. I've ordered two nuclear submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that. Words are very important and can often lead to unintended consequences, and I hope this will not be one of those instances. Thank you for your attention to this matter, which everyone says now. That's funny. So Medvedev wrote on telegram, so this is what led up to it. Medvedev was warning that the ongoing U.S. support for Ukraine, specifically as it pertains to the long-range weapon systems and other political backing, that could trigger wider conflict. So he wrote on telegram, this was Medvedev, who wrote this on

telegram, quote, if the United States continues its aggressive policy against Russia, and if NATO troops are deployed in Ukraine or strategic facilities are targeted on Russia and soil, the response will be immediate and devastating. Russia is a nuclear power, and those making decisions in Washington should not forget this. He then added, the result will be that your own cities may cease to exist. Hmm. Really? Yeah.

So how do you respond to something like that? Medvedev is a strong man, right? He and Putin were kind of good cop, bad cop for a little bit. But he's a strong man too, just as much so. So how is, do you think that Trump overreacted? you mean by sending those two nuclear subs? Yeah, and keep in mind that Mavidav talks, runs his mouth like this all the time. Has typically run his mouth like those all the time.

I mean, it's like par for the course for them. No, I think Trump actually is acting exactly how he should. We're going to have to have assets in the area for any sort of either prevention or combat. So I think that this, the positioning he's done is actually, it's like, look, I'm going to call it, not necessarily call your bluff. but I'm going to set up to where your threats actually don't really mean anything to us. What people don't know is whether or not the threats or whether or not the submarines have actually been deployed or whether or not the Pentagon was involved in the decision-making process of it. But the U.S. is war in Moscow repeatedly.

You know, you can't just like constantly use nuclear blackmail because they have done that. Putin's done it before. Medvedev has done it before. Now, Putin hasn't spoken out or said anything about this latest, but he hasn't said anything about this, but it's, it is something that they do quite frequently. This, you know, now Lorraine wants to note, it does not mean that the nuclear sub, keep in mind, and this is a good point. It does not mean it has a nuclear warhead on board. It's nuclear powered. There's a difference. It's not like he's sending nuclear warheads over, although he should just send a bunch of subs over and they can

form a middle finger in the Black Sea. Just do that. You know, just ha ha. Ha ha. I'm joking. But this, I mean, is it an escalation? I don't think it's an escalation. This idea, too, of NATO forces on the ground in Ukraine, that's never going to happen. It's never going to happen, at least not with this administration. And I don't think it should happen. We have no business. NATO is the U.S. So when people say NATO, you're talking about the United States as resources and boots on the ground, et cetera. Russia has staged some tactical nuclear weapons exercises, previously, not too long ago, near Poland and some of the Baltic states, because you have a lot of NATO countries that expanded to being right on the border with Russia. Now, you could say, well,

Russia has imperialistic tendencies. I don't know if I, I don't think that they can, and I don't think that everyone in the Kremlin does. Some of them, absolutely. But this is not like it was back in the Soviet era. It is a very, I think a lot of, I think neocon ink, and that's the correct way to use this, I think they want you to believe that they are very imperialistic, thus you have to immediately get involved in it. We have to get involved and engage and we owe that. I don't agree with that at all whatsoever. And I don't, I mean, is it a big deal that Russia is doing, I mean, they're, they're flexing because they're reminding these NATO nations that are on their border. Hey, we're not going to, don't,

don't think about it. We're not, I mean, even though they don't need to. I mean, it's not any different than if we're doing exercises. So I don't know. I don't, but this is like, you know, this is now trending. And Kane, have we seen what or is he being accused of a starting nuclear war yet? Yes, no. No. I don't think so. I mean, the left, I'm sure over the weekend will develop some sort of narrative that equals that. Yes. Yes. So that's some of the latest with the, and we'll, we'll keep an eye on that. And I, like I said, I don't think that anything. is going to, I don't think anything's going to, you know, come of that. But I wanted to ask also, there, did you guys see the statue? Hang on. I'm going to drop this in slack for the dudes.

Did you guys see this? You guys are aware of the first statue that was in New York, right? And it was of the, it was a heavyset woman in New York. Now in Ontario, there is a 12-foot bronze statue of a portly woman and I'm assuming they say she's a black woman. I mean, I don't, she's bronze, so I don't know. 12 foot bronze statue of a woman that went up,

a portly woman that went up in Ontario. Can how did we go from David to that? I think it was years and years of people just accepting mediocrity. I mean, look at this. Look at the statue. Look at the statue.

Those are sweatpants. Right. She's in sweatpants. They put... It's a T-shirt. What is the purpose of this? Look at this. She's in.

Those are that... They're celebrating mediocrity. This is what has been going on for the longest. Mediocrity has been celebrated for so long that this is now what we see. It's a nine-foot sculpture. It's by some... This is how it's described. Acclaimed British...

It's an acclaimed British artist, Thomas J. Price. He's an acclaimed, he sucks. He's horrible. The sculpture depicts a casually dressed woman in front of the art gallery of Ontario's entrance. Price said that he hopes that the sculpture can lead to greater empathy and connection. He says, quote, I want people to recognize themselves and feel valued. I don't recognize myself in this because I don't wear sweatpants in public. I'm going to tell you guys something mentally I'm 90 years old all right I am so old school with things I don't think that leggings are pants cover your ass nobody wants to see it and most of you

don't have a good enough backside anyway to just wear them as pants let's be real that's number one number two crop tops and muffin tops do not work any woman over the age of 30 should not be in a crop top sorry I never want to see men in open-toed sandals unless you're literally at the beach with sand on your feet I'm sorry but I don't like it uh flip flops are for beach. Sweep pants are for never. I subscribe to the Carl Lagerfield way of thinking that sweatpants are just a sign of surrender. You are giving up in life if you're wearing them out publicly.

I don't care. It's not a matter of money. It's just a matter of just valuing yourself. It has nothing to do with money. You don't have to be rich to not wear sweatpants to go to the supermarket. Okay. Yes, I am a little bit like old Southern lady in that thinking. Anyway.

I um we went from this is the second like overweight woman the first one was the the fat black lady in New York and then now this is the uh portly lady in Ontario what is up with that as the subject matter for sculptures number one number two she's in sweatpants I am not only do I not see myself in this but I'm offended by it because she's in sweatpants and number three how did we go from Michelangelo's David to this. There's nothing remarkable about this sculpture. There's nothing celebratory about her form. There's nothing in her expression. No one even knows why she's there. With David, you knew immediately why he was there. David and Goliath, and it was very different in that it wasn't in the moment that he was launching rocks at Goliath. It wasn't after he took

Goliath's head. It was the moment right before where he's all tints up. up so that Michelangelo could showcase his amazing artistic ability. And you could see the tendons. You could see every muscle. You could even see the one bone in his pinky that was raised. And all his weight was shifted on his dominant legs as he got ready to hurl the first stone at Goliath. It was not just a story of David and Goliath, but it was also a celebration of Florence, Forensia. It was a celebration of that town standing up against all of the storms around it leading up to the unification of Italy. It was all of this stuff, all of this stuff from Renaissance on. And when I look at this, what story does this tell? What story does it tell? T-shirt, sweatpants. It's a white flag

of surrender. If an alien were to come to this planet, and that was the first piece of art that it would see, it would see us as a people that it doesn't need to conquer because we are already conquered. If this is what we consider a high ideal of art, we are already conquered in spirit first. And second physically will we will be. That's what this is. I mean, it's depressing. What is this at? It's not uplifting. It doesn't tell a story. Just some fat chick and sweatpants going ho-hum. And you know what? The weight isn't even an issue before people get upset. The weight isn't even an issue. I don't even care if it's a portly person. It's just a bad sculpture. And do you know why I don't care that it's a portly person? Because look at Rubens.

Look at some of these other amazing masters. All the women were voluptuous back in the day. Our standards would my consider, well, some of them maybe were poorly. They weren't morbidly obese, but they weren't, you know, heroin sheik thin either. That was before the fat jabs, right? And it was celebrated. The female form was celebrated. That's not even celebrating the female form.

She's in a sloppy t-shirt and sweatpants. She's not, you know, dressed in like silk. and finery and it's celebrating her curves. She's standing there with bad posture in sweatpants and a t-shirt. So the weight isn't even an issue. The issue is that it's just bad

it's not even art. It's just a bad waste of bronze. That's what this is. Those are the two, the New York statue and the Ontario statue, side by side. It's a bad waste of bronze. There's nothing celebratory.

They're not celebrating the beauty of it because when Rubens and other masters would paint women that were not heroin chic thin, they were celebrating their form. They didn't just throw on a surrender shirt and pants and sweatpants. No, I'm not reading too much into it. It's the decay of culture. How in the hell is that guy a celebrated artist, celebrated British artist? He's horrible. I want to see what this guy looks like.

What's his name? Hang on. No, no, no, no. We're doing this right now live on air. because this is bad. Oh, of course. He looks like a hipster. Oh, of course.

He's studied at the Royal College of Art. All of his sculptures are dumb. So he did a girl with bad posture looking at her cell phone. And it's horrible. It's just bad. There's no muscle definition. There's not even a celebration of form. It's like the most basic thing.

The hands have no details. The fingers have no details. If you compare this to actual, like, you know, magnificent sculptors, they, I mean, musculature, vascularness. It's about celebrating the human form, not checking a box. This guy is horrible. I'm looking at all of his stuff right now. Oh, my gosh. Like, all of his stuff, it's like, you know, in the same way that Banksy just uses, like, a cutout and then spray paints.

I mean, this is basically what this is. It's bad. on the go and need a quick news fix with a fun twist follow dana's absurd truth podcast for bite size informative episodes perfect for your busy schedule on apple or wherever you get your podcast so potis has announced a two hundred million dollar white house ballroom that he and what private donors are paying for so it's like not anything that we're i think it is kind of weird when i think about it that the white house number really actually had like a huge reception hall or a ballroom really because a lot of places do and it makes sense if you're you're receiving people and you're having events and things like that but it's going to be funded by donors and potus and some people were making comparisons to Versailles which he's not I mean he's only going to be there for a few more years and then he's leaving and then who

then it's going to be there. I don't know. How long is it going to take to get built? That's the big question. Do you know what the timeline is for it? I would imagine a lot faster than the FBI or the Fed building. I'll look this up. Because I don't know what their ETA is on it. It's supposed to begin in September. That's all I know. And it's apparently, you know, pretty bad. They're going to have gilded Corinthium columns in a coffered ceiling with gold inlays, gold floor lamps, checkered marble floor, three walls of arched windows, looking over the south grounds, and including the massive new flagpole that POTUS had installed. So, I mean, it looks, you know, some of the planes, they look pretty.

We'll just, we'll see how it goes. We'll see what it, but I mean, it does look, you know, it looks pretty. We'll see. All right. Today's stupidity game. All right. Looks like we're going to have to go with cut 19 one. This is Stacey Abrams.

She thinks ICE doing its job is somehow, well, Well, listen to what she says here. Meanwhile, the bill allocates more than $46.5 billion for the Republican border wall, $45 billion more to expand immigrant detention facilities without investment. We're not going to get to it in time, unfortunately. Oh, good. That's okay. But by the way, Lorraine says it's supposed to be, the ballroom is supposed to be done before Trump's term is out.

All right, folks, have a great weekend. Back with you Monday.
