Starting point is 00:00:00 The story that came out is this New York Times piece, and it's accusing Elon Musk of being a drug addict, basically. It's accusing him, well, not basically. It's saying he's a drug addict. So the headline is, on the campaign trail, Elon Musk juggled drugs and family drama. Now, beneath you have the Daily Beast. Insiders spill Elon Musk's frenzy drug use at Trump's side. So this is memorandum. If you Google this stuff, because Google's algorithms are insane and completely biased.
Starting point is 00:00:37 If you Google, like, if you Google Elon Musk, his name that comes up, I mean, the top stories are all, all of it are drugs, drug use, drug use, et cetera, et cetera. He's been using drugs far more intensely than previously known. He allegedly took large amount of drugs, including ketamine. What is ketamine? I don't even know what ketamine does, Kane. What does ketamine even do? I've heard of it. I honestly don't know what it does. Yeah, I'm not, I'm not quite sure what it does either.
Starting point is 00:01:04 But he's apparently on it. He said he takes ketamine. So Elon Musk on ketamine and took large amounts of drama. I'm just looking at all these headlines. Juggled drugs and family drama. They started saying family drama as well. Insiders spill another insiders. He allegedly took the guardian's the, guardian a piece of trash is the only one that said allegedly. I think he said one time that he was prescribed certain things and that he took certain things to help with depression or something like that. But that's kind of a far cry from being a drug addict.
Starting point is 00:01:38 And when you look at memorandum, which is super left-leaning and aggregates all of this stuff to their perspective, it says the Musk heavy drug use, Musk's abuse of ketamine and ecstasy, Musk grew close to Trump bylon ketamine. I mean, it is absolutely, it's all this, you know, it's CBS, it's Huffington Post, it's Associated Press, raw story, Mother Jones, ABC, Wall Street Journal. There's two pieces from the New York Times on this, all of this. And they're all saying that, oh, my gosh, can you believe this? And we saw some texts that talked about it. So the New York Times says that they saw some texts that talked about Elon Musk's use.
Starting point is 00:02:22 And therefore, that makes it true. because they saw people talking about it in text. Now, they're very, this is like the big thing it's trending on social media. They're going, this is a new angle through which they're going to go at him. And I mean, Democrats are piling on. I mean, it's just, here's my thought on this whole thing. As I'm sitting back and I'm watching the idiotic debate over the big, beautiful bill, if you want to call it that, when I when I'm watching all of this stuff my first thought is this I don't care now
Starting point is 00:03:04 why don't I care Dana Elon Musk allegedly by the New York Times you mean the same New York Times that ran with the Russian disinformation story you mean the same New York Times that was trying to portray Donald Trump Jr. as a traitor to the nation with a meeting involving Talia Levitskaya, that chick who's from Fusion GPS, who is running middleman for the actual Russian oligarchs, and they were wandering this oppo research for the DNC through all of these outlets. You know, I had a story about Nellie Orr coming up later. All of this stuff, lots of receipts that came out from Nellie Orr over at DOJ. You know, Nellie Orr, Bruce Orr, is her husband.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Nellie Orr worked with Fusion GPS. She was a principal player in the Russian disinformation story. she was a principal player and getting the FISA court to sign off on a surveillance warrant bypassing all of the firewall, the protections that are supposed to exist for American citizens, that Nellior. Yeah, all of this stuff. All of all of this, the New York Times, the same entity that ran those stories, that platformed all of that, that had reporters that were questionably on the dole of the DNC and Fusion GPS. That New York Times, they're the ones that are saying that they saw texts and therefore not they didn't actually see
Starting point is 00:04:29 Elon Musk doing do any drugs they just saw texts that talked about it and so therefore that means he is absolutely a drug dealer and it is a very very serious issue he was involved in the white that explains doge doesn't this seem a little bit like retribution on behalf of Democrats over questions of the auto pin this past week. What's more? I mean, these are the same entities. And I went back and this morning what I was doing, let me pull up my list. Oh, I went, it's interesting, all of these entities that I just mentioned in the aggregate
Starting point is 00:05:14 reporting of the New York Times piece, every single one of these entities, oh, here's ABC's piece, Hunter Biden laptop is no news. Hunter Biden laptop, disinformation. These were all the same entities that downplayed literally everything that came out on that laptop. Now, I just want to, I put a photo up on X earlier, and I just want to bring it to your attention that Hunter Biden, while he was literally videotaping himself, digitally recording, I guess, is the way. to say it, not really videotaping. While he was digitally recording himself, and this was all on the laptop, this is the one that he abandoned. This is how we have all of this, literally smoking crack and cutting up cocaine and pulling Hooker's hair and a number of other things I'm just not
Starting point is 00:06:09 going to get into. While he was doing all of this, he was visiting the White House. He was merging out his dad's seat to enrich his family in the People's Democratic Republic of Congo with Senca with Rosemont Seneca in China, with Ukraine, with Burisma, traveling on Air Force One with Joe Biden to meet foreign leaders and dignitaries on official White House business. All of this. And the people who questioned this, including yours truly, had their social media account suspended. And the white, I'm not going to even get to get into the cubby cocaine that was in the White House.
Starting point is 00:06:52 You had a guy who was also, it was reported by NBC, he was attending official White House meetings with his dad. He apparently was privy to classified information. Hunter Biden, the drug addict. Receipts, like actual video of him doing it that he uploaded to his laptop himself. And then when anybody pulled it. pointed it out, they were shut down and punished. They were either held off of air if they were on network or they had their social media account suspended. So you're telling me the same entities
Starting point is 00:07:27 that hid all of that, the same entities that had no problem with that, suddenly have an issue with the speculation that Elon Musk did drugs and that's why Doge is crazy.

Starting point is 00:09:13 Steve was like, I'm going to surprise you with the song. And I'm like, okay. And then I realized, I remembered what the first headline was because I was looking at the next hour's quick five. This is the most depressed. So he plays that. Here's the headline for you. Cool and the gang's hype man dies in a car crash. Well, Jiminy Christmas, Steve.
Starting point is 00:09:31 Cool and the gang's hype man, Michael Sumler. It's nothing to celebrate. He dies in a car crash. He was 71 years old. He, uh, officer said his Nissan collided with the Kia Sorrento and, lost control. He did not make it. It was killed him at the scene and the keyer driver was not hurt. That is, he's also known as Chicago Chicago Mike and he was their first stylist and choreographer. That's
Starting point is 00:09:54 really depressing. Jimny Christmas. A man who is dead for 45 minutes claims that he watched his death like a movie. Was it the most boring movie ever? Man sharing his near-death experience after, well was it, dying from side effects to a toxic medication. he was on TikTok and he said he was a blah I don't care about his life he just said that he took too much he ended up just like aspirating in a public bathroom because he took a toxic ingredient and a supplement and uh was basically aspirating on vomit and he just kicked the bucket on the bathroom floor he said doctors think he was done for like 30 minutes but that he was watching his whole life uh like it like it was a movie and he said it it uh it was very uncomfortable i can imagine it was uncomfortable you are dying because you vomited to death in a bathroom i can imagine you imagine. I mean, it doesn't get much. I mean, maybe, you know, Elvis dying on a toilet was the only thing that, like, maybe tops that. A, a plane passenger was arrested for hitting a boy who called her fat and Miss Piggy. And they were on their way home from Disney. Christy Crampton.

There was a big story last summer pertaining to Spain and tourism where certain people in Spanish towns were railing against tourists and some of the other people were like, that's literally our whole economy. Why would you do that?
Starting point is 00:12:59 So in Hawaii, get this. So this is from ABC 7. If you're going to Hawaii, you will be paying more to do so because Hawaii is placing a new tax on tourists to fund climate change projects.
Starting point is 00:13:17 It is the first of its kind in the nation. Why are these beautiful areas so lefty and stupid? How does, I mean, Hawaii's one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. Why? Why would you? So their governor
Starting point is 00:13:32 signed it. They signed it Tuesday of this week. It's a tax on hotel room and vacation rental stays. And they want to raise money to address the eroding shorelines wildfires and consequences of climate change. Kane, the wildfire situation in Hawaii. Did the government ever respond to that? Just curious.
Starting point is 00:13:52 No, not really. I think they said something like $700 and then they, they were out. They're like, hey, here's $700. Boop, we're out. Yeah. They weren't so concerned about the shoreline when Barack Obama bought, uh, What was that? Not MacGyver. What was the guy's name? Magnum P.I.
Starting point is 00:14:11 Magnum P.I. Yeah. So Barack Obama, the property that his family bought in Hawaii is the Magnum P.I. House. And it's on this, like, stretch of very particular shoreline in Hawaii. It's in Honolulu County. I think it's in Honolulu County. But the, they apparently, the allegation is that they paid off people in Hawaii to do some construction on that shoreline for their own property that actually damage the. shoreline that other people would be fined heavily for doing and they got around it and there was a lot of discussion about that a lot of discussion and it was i think what i don't even know how an 18 million dollar it was an 18 million dollar property so for instance i found this is a story that i had saved you know because they're suddenly so concerned about it with tourists
Starting point is 00:15:03 they had but the Obamas were okay there were people that live in Oahu that did the exact same thing that the Obamas did with their shoreline but they each got fined a million dollars for the violation
Starting point is 00:15:18 and the Obamas did not huh must be that privilege I'm telling you special exemption so I'm just you know I mean they a lot there I'm just saying so but the tourists they're going after
Starting point is 00:15:36 tourists now this is a state that relies heavily on tourism I mean yeah you got pineapple you got great coffee but this is a state that relies heavily on tourism and I understand the Lahana wildfire and everything that happened that's I mean that's city leadership that's the Hawaii state
Starting point is 00:15:54 leadership there's a lot there that went into it in addition to a completely inept administration at the time now they're hoping that they're going to get $100 million a year from this tax and it just seems like
Starting point is 00:16:09 you're in some ways punishing tourists so you're basically getting extra taxes on your hotel room rates they also have an 11% tax on cruise ship bills and if you go to Hawaii you already pay a pretty hefty
Starting point is 00:16:26 room tax that's I think it's like over 10% that you pay as a tourist on your room tax and I get it I mean that's one of the reasons of why they have tourism you know you're going to generate
Starting point is 00:16:37 some stuff or you're going to generate some revenue that way but it's going to specifically for quote unquote climate change it's going to climb higher that along with state
Starting point is 00:16:46 and county taxes it's going to more than double it's going to be like 20% a 20% levy on your accommodations it will be the highest in the nation now most of the hotels
Starting point is 00:16:58 kind of supported it kind of I mean what are they they're going to not? They kind of have to. And they said that they're trying to look at the greater good for tourism. And I don't know. If anything else, am I just be, am I looking at this to myopic of a way? Because I'm just thinking, if this was like reverse and this was a Republican state, Democrats would be saying that you're pricing the poor out of enjoying the beauty of Hawaii. Right? Right? I mean, for climate change. I mean, maybe they could have
Starting point is 00:17:30 all the wealthy people out there that are mostly Democrats that are jacking up the shoreline, maybe they could actually pay the penalties and maybe they could get some revenue generated from that instead of hitting tourists. I don't know. It's just weird. I get so tired of hearing about these beautiful places bitching and moaning about tourism. Well, then move. Go find, go to another state and find a different state that has a different industry. You know, otherwise, just, you know, acclimate yourself to the fact that you are lucky enough, blessed enough, live in such a beautiful area that other people for a fleeting second in our lifespan want to go and observe it and be part of it for a few days. Good grief. Is that too much to bear
Starting point is 00:18:12 for your privilege backsides? I guess they're tired of hearing this, whether it's people in Spain complaining or whether it's to stop it. It's not like, you know, a giant, I would get it if they were Venetians and they were criticizing giant cruise ships that were damaging docks going into the going into the harbor there, but this is different. Partners that help make the program possible, our friends at Caltech, the brand new game-changing, well, not brand new, but it's new, and you need to get it if you haven't, so that's what I'm telling you about it.

This day is the 10th anniversary. The loss of my son, Bo, spent a year in Iraq. And to be honest, it's a hard day. His son and I, Hunter, who's here in the crowd.
Starting point is 00:20:12 I don't know where he was sitting, Hunter. Bo's son, Hunter. All the way in the back there. It's my grandson, Hunter Biden. Dude. It's a stutter. That did happen. That did happen, Kane.
Starting point is 00:20:26 How dare you make fun of his stutter? I'm too stunned to make fun right now, actually. I didn't know. So wait, Joe's Hunter's grandpa? Man. So Bo Biden is Hunter Biden's dad. Oh, man, was he five? Like, what's up?
Starting point is 00:20:47 That's really messed up. Anyway. Yeah, I can't believe that nobody saw the decline. at all the people who saw the decline and attacked everyone else who asked was there, what's up with the decline? I mean, for crying out loud, that is shocking. And at no point,
Starting point is 00:21:05 did you notice, like, I don't know, maybe you were watching it like I was, and you were thinking at some point he's going to realize that he messed up. He's going to realize at some point that he, oh, I met my son, Hunter, and he didn't do it. He just, he was like, yeah, there's a son out there. He's out here somewhere. At no point
Starting point is 00:21:23 did that realization hit him right like i said the other day i did a fox business hit and uh i was on with dagan mcdowell and david asman and for whatever reason i for a split second halfway had reagan out of my mouth because i accidentally and i know dagan for years i almost i called her ragan almost called a ragan on air and right as the word was leaving my mouth i was like nope dagon and immediately like it i realized it that second and And at no point in watching Joe Biden, he did not have that moment. At no point. He was like, yeah, his son.
Starting point is 00:22:04 And pointing out to the audience like his son, guys, guys, four months ago, he was making serious decisions in the White House. Now, I'm not being mean. I am acting like a completely terrified out of her mind citizen because that guy, no, we know it wasn't him. It was Jill, which is even scarier, right? Jill Biden, who makes Dolce and Gabano look like a slip cover for a sofa. Jill Biden was making, I said it, making decisions about serious stuff that affects our livelihoods
Starting point is 00:22:44 and national security. I got a problem. They're mad about Elon Musk. We got a lot more on the way. Second hour coming up. Stick with us.

And he didn't take those servers with him.
Starting point is 00:23:54 The servers, I don't think, have left the White House. And so what are Democrats going to do about the data? Are you all going to follow up on this? What's your take on Elon Musk's being done? Because I just think he's finished. He's just finished what he was doing. Actually, he's finished. He's not done because they've still got the data.
Starting point is 00:24:11 Yeah, I heard he's on some image repair tour. I think the best way for him to repair his image is to reverse all the damage he did for government for the American people. people. And yeah, those servers are a big issue. We want to continue to investigate that. And certainly, I think some crimes may have been committed over the past three or four months. They are going to come to light one way or another. We're going to come to light, even if it takes us getting into power again. But we will. I would not. I would have been kicked off of that panel. There's some crimes being committed. We don't know what crimes they are,
Starting point is 00:24:41 but I'm pretty positive that there are some crimes that were committed in the past several months, I'd still like Alan Musk. And because I don't like him, he's probably committed some crimes. I'm pretty sure. Uncovering crimes is a crime. I mean, if you're taking away my taxpayer money that I want to spend, not my money, but your money, that I want to spend on, you know, what I want to spend it on, then that's a crime. He sounds almost like a tape that's played backwards, but it still makes sense, you know? Like, remember the weird red room and Twin Peaks where they had the,
Starting point is 00:25:16 little checkerboard floor and then that one little dude in the red suit and he was like me m'm and they played his they literally played it backwards um that's what he sounds like welcome back dana lash at the top of the second hour i did take it there i took it way way down on a detour just to make that point what did they so i how was that analysis gosh i would be so bored to death if i had to hear these people well i just don't like ilan musk and you know i really don't have any actual evidence or anything. Just my dislike forms the basis of everything I'm going to say from this point on. So I don't like it on Musk. And so therefore, if I don't like you, you probably committed some crimes. Do you know that MSNBC's ratings are so bad? They are just
Starting point is 00:26:00 jettisoning shows, jettisoning shows right and left. Their ratings are so bad. I think that honestly, Hunter Biden's home movies probably got better ratings than MSNBC. pretty sure. They are absolutely cratering right now. And that was MSNBC, right? I don't know. They all look, all those damn networks look alike. They all have the same stupid people. I am so bored to death with most of political commentary because it's all the same talking points. Listen to these people. I mean, what? So what should be done about Elon Musk? He's leaving the white. Yeah, he's leaving. He said he was going to be leaving in May. But, you know, if you paid attention to the news and did actually more in this realm be on look at the little index cards that your producers gave you and your little
Starting point is 00:26:48 packet of information which is pretty much the limitation of your knowledge on any issue you would know that but you know it's msnbc they don't pretty they really don't hire the best and this guy's like what is he's he was like an animatron animatronic feature he's like a chucky cheese band member well what is with that golly i would i would be bored of tears bored to tears bored to tears listening to this. So what are your receipts that you think, what crimes do you think he's committed? What crimes, pray tell, has he committed? Uncovering crimes. Uncovering crimes that we don't want to uncover it is a crime. OMG. Sidebar. I cannot stand when dudes talk like sorority chicks or not even sorority chicks, Valley girls. Like 80s Valley girls. Okay. Women don't talk like that.
Starting point is 00:27:44 And effeminate men that try that affectation as a way to underscore some kind of femininity that they lack is one of the most annoying things in culture that I can, I can imagine. Just going to say, I think, I don't know if he's gay, but I would just, if I had a bet on it, I just, there are gay dudes who don't do that. Because I think it's like, it's, to me, it's a little stereotypically offensive as to how they think women talk. I don't know, right? I don't know. I don't know. Maybe I just know the wrong gay dudes, Kane.
Starting point is 00:28:17 I don't know. But, you know. Well, I committed some crimes. I'm sure that there's crime. Like, with all the confidence in the world. Because he's on MSNBC. He knows he's not going to get challenged. I'm just positive that there are crimes being.
Starting point is 00:28:31 What crimes, lunchbox? What crimes are being committed? What? Oh, wait. The crimes of wasting taxpayer dollars on special interest stuff that Congress, There was bypassed Congress. What? These people.
Starting point is 00:28:47 However much you loathe the press. Yeah, MSNBC, they had a new primetime lineup that they debuted on May 5th. Three weeks. Record lows. They dropped 41% in the primetime demo. Now, digital is great, and digital is the future, but TV's not done yet. So this is pretty significant. I mean, that means they lost like 50,000 viewers.
Starting point is 00:29:14 No, that's all, no, they didn't even have 50,000 viewers. Ooh, wait, how are you selling ads on those numbers? Do you know how much an ad is primetime on MSNBC or CNN or Fox? If you don't have the ratings, how are you justifying your ad rates? They said MSNBC's total day demo viewership sank to 49,000 average viewers. cane oh my gosh i get more views than that on tweets oh my gosh it's the second worst ever showing wow maybe it's because their context is abysmal it's heinous that is ooh this is so bad i mean there are literally websites that get more views than that in an hour
Starting point is 00:30:11 Wow. So, and they had what, Jen Saki took over Rachel Maddow's time slot, and now she's, they're moving her already. Didn't they run reruns? I think they took her off air already this week. Oh my gosh. Who did their lineup? Their new weeknight lineup is just hemorrhaging viewers. Nobody wants to watch.
Starting point is 00:30:40 You know why? because you're watching Democrat propaganda channel. And I get tired if I hear, you know, too much echo chamber, even on my side. I just get tired of it because I get bored. I like challenges and I just don't like passive. I don't keep on my TV and like listen to it passively. I use music for that. It's just boring.
Starting point is 00:31:01 And like I, and I know I keep coming back to this, but who is actually intrigued and interested by a conversation of zombieified, you know, political zealots sitting around a table just discussing, well, I just don't like this person. It's like watching a mean girl's deleted scene. Let's add this to the burn book. Just put Elon Musk in the burn book and be done with it. But this idea that there's crimes committed because we don't like him, just shut up.
Starting point is 00:31:30 I'm so tired of this is that's just all you need to substantiate such a serious accusation. is your just personal dislike of someone. I personally dislike lots of people, but I'm not going to throw them in jail or say that they committed crimes when they didn't do it. That's just, that's asinine. So this is, I mean, the media's,
Starting point is 00:31:52 the media is at a very weird point because their television is dying, traditional television and broadcast is dying. And everything is moving digitally. and it's becoming more and more siloed. And as a result, the media, these media networks, these formerly, you know, legacy powerhouses, they're losing the percentage of mindshare that they had. They are losing influence.
Starting point is 00:32:24 They are losing their ability to not even, they don't even direct the news anymore. All they do is just simply respond to it. But if you've noticed, too, just in the past, I think a few years, media narratives don't hit like they used to and I say this is somebody who's been in the fight against the biased press for years it's different and they know it's different
Starting point is 00:32:49 they're trying so hard to recreate what they previously had on television on digital networks but it's not working because people I think are so tired of it they're tired of the MSNBC type content they're tired of that the CNN it's the constant and it's all like negative They're all completely negative.
Starting point is 00:33:06 They can't have fun. It can't be funny. It's just all negative. They never have any solutions. They, and they're inconsistent. And that's the biggest thing for me. I can tolerate a lot of stuff so long as it's consistent. But when I see people being inconsistent and then acting like the ends justify the
Starting point is 00:33:24 inconsist at the time, I can't abide that. And that's literally all of leftist media for the past 20 years. They loved Elon Musk. And in order to prove that you love the planet, and that you weren't an enemy of climate change, you best drive a Tesla. How many times did you hear that? How many times was that used as like a branding virtue signal? I mean, there's jokes about it.
Starting point is 00:33:48 You know, people driving Tesla's down the street and looking at you and your gas, Guzzler and judging you and, you know, acting like their, but, I mean, now, now they carve Nazis symbols on. They key the cars. They burn down dealerships that quickly in the span of a couple of years. That's how fickle these people are. Kane, do you ever think that they'll like Elon Musk again? Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:34:09 You know what? I don't know. Their hate seems to be pretty permanent. Like I, I mean, clearly they wanted to destroy him, but I'm just wondering if they're ever going to like him again. I'm not sure they like anything. Well, they loved him at one point. They loved him. And then they were just horrified.
Starting point is 00:34:28 He went through that Republican. I think what they loved more was the anti-oil and anti-fossil fuel. nature of the electric vehicle and I think that that's where their love really lies but all right they like the performative traditions of leftist ideology yes without actually putting any substance behind it so like them buying an electric car is like an indulgence right oh here's my indulgence mm bought my electric car my meeting soy um delicious soy here's my indulgence that's what they do do it all for image yeah yeah it's all about image so they don't actually have to do anything they don't want to actually I have to change their lifestyle.
Starting point is 00:35:06 They'll do the bare minimum to make it seem like they are. It's actually very fascinating to watch. But I'm just curious. So this explains to you a lot about a lot about this. So I don't know if we, I gotta get into this. We'll talk more about this coming up. We had a video of this, but I want to come back to it because there's more about it. This dude who is a transgender, is a dude who wants to be a woman.
Starting point is 00:35:30 What do they even call that? I don't even understand the made-up prefixes. a trans woman, right? What's the Siz stuff? Siz means you're not trans at all. You're just normal. That's so stupid. Why is it Siz?
Starting point is 00:35:43 Why wouldn't you just be like, oh, you're a woman? Yep. Siz woman's so stupid. Anyway, this dude was eating at Tiffin's restaurant. I don't even know what that is. At the Disney Animal Kingdom Park. And he was wearing like his Mickey Mouse ears and all of that. And apparently like he's really milking this for all it's worth.
Starting point is 00:36:03 the server who had a very thick accent clearly i mean i thought democrats love these people uh accidentally addressed him as sir because he had a giant adam's apple and looked like a dude talked like a dude and he ordered this appetizer the server's explaining it and just very briefly just says sir because he's a dude right and the guy was like i just can't enjoy my food just can't well we're going to play this after we have headlines so we have have this ready because you got to see the video how i'm just so done i'm so done with us so we got this on more hard work self-reliance showing up that's what built this country and it's exactly how our president leads no excuses no handouts just results but let's be honest even the most

I also think it's just so abundantly clear that the people who say these things
Starting point is 00:41:44 don't actually spend time talking to young men. I you know this because we know each other in real life but I spent a lot of time on college campuses and I spend a lot of time with young men I love young men I I love right guys and in that I realize like even the ones that identify as conservative are almost always pro choice they're almost always pro gay marriage you'd be surprised at the number of them who support a black lives matter it's so I feel like people just I just know men yeah you look like you really know him um Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you at the bottom of this second hour.
Starting point is 00:42:25 So you're like, why are you playing this? This is like some, I hate the word influencer. It's just, influencer is a fancy word for opinionated loudmouth on digital. That's literally all it is. Yeah. You can't even get on social media without someone trying to influence you about something in the most blatant way. But anyway, this woman is part of a parent. the plan for Democrats to win back men her name is Olivia Juliana I don't know why you got to
Starting point is 00:43:03 have two first names you know I want two first names make it sound fancy but apparently this person is being the Democrats are going to use her to win over young men Yeah, I'm sure that's the way it'll do it. That's how they want to, that's how they want to approach this. It's called the Sam Project, Rolling Stone. We talked a little bit about this yesterday. Rolling Stone is a piece out about it. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:43:32 I had to read it. They have the speaking with American men a strategic plan. It's called the Sam plan speaking with American men, S-A-M. And it's that $20 million effort to try to figure out, why dudes or dudes, they're going to, I told you this, the sentence was to study the syntax language and content that gains attention and virality. So why do certain things go viral digitally? Why are these guys viral? They're trying to figure out Joe Rogan. Can I be real? As someone who works in broadcasting, and I've worked in broadcasting for a very
Starting point is 00:44:13 long time. I am very picky with, I don't really listen to a lot of other, I don't really listen to any other, I don't listen to any other political commentary because when you do it all day and you live it all day, the last thing that you want to do during your time not doing it is to listen to someone else. Now, I am all about reading things that, because I like to challenge what opinions that I have so I can more, I can fine tune them and figure out how to better articulate and defend them. So it's not that issue. I'm just, you know, there's certain people, I'm just like, oh my gosh, and most of them say the same damn thing. They all say the same thing. And a lot of things that are in television, it's weird because some things are very male dominated and some things
Starting point is 00:45:00 are not. Like daytime TV is very, very female dominated. Women do better during the day and in the mornings. I mean, there's been a lot of studies on this. And I think, especially, there's just this huge absence of or was a huge absence as digital grew of content that was geared specifically towards dudes like dude stuff not how the matriarchy wants dudes to consume things or not what the matriarchy wants dudes to consume but like dude stuff like cars and guns and supplements and protein and dude topics and aliens and all that other stuff right and i think that's all fine democrats cannot figure out why that's so successful with guys and as a woman who's in broadcasting i like it because it's so different from everything else
Starting point is 00:45:54 that's out there right i mean i i i don't want to hear chicks sit here and and and talk about toxic masculinity or whatever and do the view all day. I mean, I just find that other stuff interesting because it's so different. So my point is that the left cannot figure out why that kind of content, why even gaming content and everything else is so popular. And I know why they can't figure it out because it's authentic. And the left is not authentic. The left has not been I don't know when the last time, Kennedy, maybe? I don't know when the last time the left has been authentic.
Starting point is 00:46:38 It's been a really long time. And so they have this, the SAM plan, and they did this huge thing with Rolling Stone, and they talked about how they had the SAM fundraising pitch during the Democrat primary, and Rolling Stone wanted to find out who's actually running the SAM project
Starting point is 00:47:00 and how to stop losing it. the culture war and win back men. And of course, it's a pro-choice America president and a guy that was an advisor to Biden's campaign. I mean, yeah, it sounds like really dutish. I don't think it's going to be successful just because of that right there. The reason that Democrats have a male voter problem is because they've denigrated men for the better part of 20 years. The reason Democrats have a male voter problem is because they've offshoreed manufacturing jobs. They've downplayed trades. They've downplayed practical skills. They have basically accused men of all being like rapist. And I mean, let's do, you know, the believe all women and all this stuff. Look what they did with Brett Kavanaugh. I mean, what did I tell you? The whole Kavanaugh thing, there was going to be a major generational consequence as a result of that. And you're seeing some of that come to fruition. And Democrats think that they can change it. just by pretending to talk about video games or something, and that's not, that's, that's not accurate. Look, just the stuff that I witness, and I'm a casual gamer. I don't, I am not like,
Starting point is 00:48:15 yes, I got my kids started by helping them with difficult levels in Mario Brothers. And now the Padawans have become the masters. And, I mean, clearly there are other people that have like really serious setups. They only do PCs, you know, they, I have Xbox. I mean, come on. But I enjoy it. It's, it's fun and it's a release from all of the other everyday stuff and you're really involved so you don't have time to really wrap your mind around anything else except that mission that you're on and that objective that you're on right in that moment and that there's a lot of strategy involved and it's a i like it because of those things but one of the things that i've seen is that people that are in these communities immediately can sniff out in authenticity a mile
Starting point is 00:48:56 away they know if you're a poser or not i don't know why democrats think that throwing 20 million that this is going to gain them some ground. If anything, it's going to further disassociate themselves away from these communities because dudes don't respond to that. Like, women will tolerate a certain level of inauthenticity as a very Machiavellian tactic. Dudes do not. They just don't. Dudes are very much above board.
Starting point is 00:49:23 What you see is what you get. Women do everything below board. Dudes don't tolerate that. And can I know, I mean, you're a casual gamer too. You casually play. yeah and they because they keep going back to like gaming and like the podcasting and digital men will suss out anything that's inauthentic yes and and the left looks at that is toxic for some reason yes and i and i don't know why it's toxic and also why can't guys just have
Starting point is 00:49:48 their own spaces god love you i as a woman i want to have my own space right like i want to be able to do my, I mean, so I have a couple of interests. I like to play video games and I love all things crochet and I like food, right? Those are my things. Sometimes I just want to be left alone. Leave me alone. Let me watch a historical documentary and I'm going to crochet. That's all I want to do. That's how I'm going to unengage my brain for a little bit. And I just, I want me to, you know, that, especially if you're a situational extrovert, like me, you got to be able to have that moment, to have that time. Guys need to be able to have their guy time. They need to be able to have their guy stuff and do their guy things. And for years, they've been called toxic for
Starting point is 00:50:30 it. That's not healthy. That's like an argument of a codependent to say, why do guys have to have their own spaces? Why can't we be there too? Why do you have to be codependent? Why are you going to be like that? You're a stage five cleaner. Why do you got to do that? This is how, that's how they lost men. They started losing men 20 to 30 years ago. ago. It wasn't just this last presidential cycle. I was reading this Rolling Stone piece and that was the first thing that jumped out at me is they don't understand still fully at what caused that division. When you when you criticize chivalry or masculinity as being toxic simply because it doesn't jive with your third wave feminist worldview, that's a problem. That's a you problem. That's not a
Starting point is 00:51:21 man problem that's a you problem and they think they're going to throw you know can we should offer to take their 20 million dollars we'll fix it wink wink we'll fix the problem for you sure i'll do it for 19 million 19 million wow kane that's a bargain that is a bargain for your expertise at only only 19 million dollars do that you i mean that's yeah i i agree with that Now, with this, there's, oh, shoot, did I just talk my way through this whole side? I think I probably did. I'm going to have to save this, so I'm going to save this dude, the Disneyland dude, who got mad because a server misgendered them.
Starting point is 00:52:03 I don't even, that's a word. Steve brought up a separate issue, like adult people that are single, like this guy wearing Mickey Mouse ears and dressing up as like a, almost like a Disney character going to, a Disneyland. I just find that weird. I don't get the Disney thing. Like when I see grown adults that have like Disney phone cases, I'm like, why? Am I being mean? Is that weird? I don't get the Disney thing. I don't get that. I do for kids. I mean, even for that, I'm stretching it. Well, yeah, nowadays. I mean, but back in the day, when we were kids growing up, Disney was a big kid. Warner Brothers was the OG, man. That's the legit one. Remember all that? What? The Mickey Mouse Club and
Starting point is 00:52:43 all that? I mean, I remember it, but I never got into it. I mean, it was never this. I It wasn't big on joining things. No, right, but it was never this bad. Oh, yeah, it's weird. I mean, I just, I'm wondering why you're a dude with Mickey Mouse ears and you're, you know, going and, and they bring out, first off, go ahead and play this video. We have about a minute here, so we... Yeah. So the guy comes in.
Starting point is 00:53:04 And that, um... That is fancy looking. Here's this bread, his appetizer. The bottom is from Thailand. Coconut bread from Thailand. Yes, sir. Cool. Oh, ma'am.
Starting point is 00:53:13 Oh, my gosh. And, um... The middle one is from India, it's the Papa Dome of the Chichita. Look at him, he's like all mad because like I didn't affirm. How did you not know? Thank you. Just like totally sucks the joy out of this bread tower. Makes me want to immediately like leave because I no longer feel like safe here.
Starting point is 00:53:35 It's like, oh my guard now has to be up. I'm not going to enjoy this bread as much because my card is good. You should be able to go places and not have to worry. I don't think I really want this bread tower actually. I think I'd rather have to check if that's okay. Yeah. I think that's the training. I'm supposed to say for him or just not.
Starting point is 00:53:49 Are you serious? Excuse me, it's ma'am. That's this guy. It is ma'am. Well, I mean, you look like a dude. You sound like a dude. You got a madame's apple. You know, you got all those accoutrements.
Starting point is 00:54:00 How do you not feel safe? Yeah, I don't feel safe because this guy has eyes. Also, you're a poser because you bring bread like that to me. I don't care what the hell you call me. I'm eating that bread. Because that looked tasty. That looks straight up tasty. Coconut bread from Thailand.
Starting point is 00:54:15 Hashtad delicious. I'm curious. Coconut bread for a entire... What? Like, they're living in 2030. Why do I not have coconut bread? That's my first question. Be like, I don't care what...
Starting point is 00:54:26 Why don't I have this regularly? You know that bread was like $50,000. And that guy's like, I don't think I can eat my bread because that guy noticed I had a penis. I feel unsafe. I would actually feel unsafe. You're a grown dude with a wean and you've got your Mickey Mouse ears on
Starting point is 00:54:45 and you're sitting there. upset because someone like noticed that he's being polite the dude wasn't being mean he was being polite he could have been like well here's your bread you freak and he didn't do it he's being nice you look like a dude well in my mind i'm a woman okay well let that guy crawl into your cranial cavity and so he can assess how you view your just shut up with this it's so stupid that it is such tyranny to demand that other people stop their physical lives on this rock and alter their actual recognition of reality to affirm your insane cosplay. You can dress up like a fruitcake all you want to. I don't care. But when you start demanding to hijack other people's language and where
Starting point is 00:55:35 they are and how they are living completely innocuously in real space, the problem is you. And nobody throws away bread like that. You're a stooge. What a... All right, we got more to come. Our partners. There's no good way to do it. I'll bring you the program.
Starting point is 00:55:52 It's the folks over at Burnigan, B-Y-R-N-A. It's always good to have diverse options, to have some diversity where it concerns your weapon choices. And, I mean, you have different calibers. You've got, you know, rifles and you've got pistols and you carry blades. And, you know, I think you can have brass knuckles now in Texas. I'm just saying, you know, you got all kinds of stuff, right? so why not have something like a burn a gun also I think this is particularly helpful if you're one of those college kids it's not 21 years old and you can't carry handgun and you want to be able to protect yourself whether you're walking to your car somewhere or whether you're you know in your you know condo or dorm or whatever the burn a gun allows you to do that there's I think for the for this purpose the two models I would suggest with the burn a SD that's their top selling one they also have the new CL which is their compact launcher it's smaller almost 40% small smaller and more compact than the burn a SD.
Starting point is 00:56:44 Everything made in the USA, and it shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. Stun guns, all that. They've got like maybe one or two rounds. This has a heck of a lot more. You got up to what I think like five, six rounds in this. And it's an effective deterrent that doesn't care about background checks. It does not care about there's no waiting periods.
Starting point is 00:57:03 It doesn't care about gun-free zone signs. All of that stuff is completely inapplicable to the burner gun. So you have legal flexibility and the ability to defend yourself. So it's always good to diversify. You can see what all they have at Burnah.com slash Dana. Check out the new Burna, C-L, B-R-N-A-com slash Dana. Bernie, Berna, ready when you are. It's his life mission to make bad decisions.
Starting point is 00:57:31 It's time for Florida man. This is not real. This story. And the guy, the guy, the picture of this guy? Okay. Smoking gun. After fondling a ferret, suspect stole a weasel. Police are searching for the Florida man who stuffed a $650 ferret into his shorts
Starting point is 00:58:09 and smuggled the weasel out of a petland store security cameras I swear if you don't show this photo they capture this guy he's his mustache and his hairline are the same
Starting point is 00:58:26 look at it they're like it like it's like a Lego I his mustache is a mouth helmet yeah i mean that mustache is just a little version of what the hair is doing security cameras captured this guy uh as he browsed the ferret section of his store and
Starting point is 00:58:47 according to the police report he fondled the ferret for quite some time and then he shoved it into his shorts and left uh they saw him like trying to hold that oh my gosh uh the pet lane manager gave chase but was able to get him they're trying to find him i feel bad for the ferret like what happened? So what do you think he's going to do with the ferret? I'm really worried about the ferret. They chose the word fondle. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:17 Like, that's weird. I mean, and I immediately don't trust him because his mustache and hair are the same. A Florida man bribed a cop with $20 after hitting his car in a motel parking lot. He handed him the money and said, get yourself a dozen donuts on me. Oh, that'll work. It was in a homestead, Florida. Adam or Aidan Domingo is the guy who did it. third hour next. I've said for years now that our media is just garbage. Legacy press is garbage.
Starting point is 00:59:39 How does the average person know if a news story, if the source is accurate or if it's biased? Ground news can be a great solution for that. Ground news can show you the stories and the sources of the day and then they give you details about their sourcing, how reliable the reporting is and who owns them, and keep you fully informed on any potential political or motivational leanings. So for instance, you could use ground news to read about the Trump administration. suing the state of Maine over participation of transgender athletes in girls' sports. The Huffington Post said, quote, Trump's newest political power grab is targeting Maine. The Toronto Sun said, quote, DOJ is to sue Maine over trans women competing in female sports.

Starting point is 01:01:02 President Trump, by the aides who used to work here are in talks with Republicans in Congress to go and testify about what they did or didn't do to possibly conceal President Biden's decline. Do you think that Dr. Jill Biden should also have to come in and testify about what she did or didn't do? Well, I hate the concept of it. It's the wife of a man who was going through a lot of problems, and everybody that dealt with him understood that.
Starting point is 01:01:35 And I guess it came out during the debate loud and clear. That was the biggest signal of all. They have to do what's right. The country was a lot of dishonesty in the election, as you know, of 2020. That's been now caught. People understand it. It was a rigged election. And when you go further out, when you see the auto pen,
Starting point is 01:01:56 I mean, I think the auto pen is going to become one of the great scandals of all time because you have somebody operating it or a number of people operating. Because I knew Joe Biden. Joe Biden wasn't in favor of opening up borders, letting 21 million people into this from prisons and mentalists. So POTUS and Elon Musk are, go ahead, let this play on our side by side. They're holding a press availability. And I like the way that Musk just handled the New York Times in that when Peter Ducey was asking about the New York Times and Musk accurately said, yes, they, you know, they won a Pulitzer Prize for the Russia gate, the Russia misinformation story, the story of the shopped opo that went through Fusion GPS, which again, I'll remind everyone, Fusion GPS was an unregistered foreign agent lobbyist.
Starting point is 01:02:45 Like, they, I don't know how they were not in compliance with the Farah Act, but they weren't. And they were actually lobbying on behalf of real Russian oligarchs that were caught up in the Magnitsky Act. And that was an act that was passed against these oligarchs that apparently killed this guy. The reports are that they killed a guy who was blowing the whistle on their embezzlement and financial fraud. And so there were sanctions that were levied against these certain Russian oligarchs. And so Fusion GPS, Natalia Levitskaya, all of that. those people were lobbying in D.C. on behalf of these oligarchs to get the Magnitsky Act overturned. And so they were all involved in this. They were the ones who shopped, who
Starting point is 01:03:30 laundered this information through the press, and the New York Times wrote about all of it. And they won awards for it. And it was all literal, actual fake news. And keep in mind, as I noted in our first hour, you know, all of these entities, too, were, these are the same entities that were shopping the idea that the laptop story was completely fake. People like, there were tons of people, myself included tons of people that had their social media accounts suspended for even talking about stuff after the New York Times said you shouldn't talk about it. It's fake news. So, yeah, it was, and even Elon Musk in the stories, Lorraine noted, six graphs down, they even had to say that Elon Musk was like, yeah, I was prescribed ketamine, you know, to help with depression, et cetera. And I really don't like doing illegal drugs.
Starting point is 01:04:13 the way that they're responding to this. First off, there are a lot of people who do use different things for therapeutic purposes. And I think it's a really dangerous thing to stigmatize someone and act like everything that they're doing is somehow invalid because they had one issue that they were honest enough to be transparent about in the manner in which they dealt with it. Just shame on the people who feed into that. You're what's wrong with this country. Hard work, self-reliance showing up. That's what built this country. And it's exactly how our president leads.

Starting point is 01:05:46 Because when you're well rested, you're unstoppable. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Yikes. So in Arkansas, a kindergarten graduation erupted into a wild brawl between parents. As children screamed, stop, stop. It's a kindergarten graduation. The W-R-E-G, the network down there, TV network down there, had the video.
Starting point is 01:06:15 You can hear that kids are, I don't even think you can play the audio because there's some cursing in it. But it was the West Memphis's Falk Elementary, and the children were screaming in the corridor. They were screaming to stop. Taller men stood in the middle to separate. It was the women that started throwing, that were fighting. And then the men started throwing punches. The fight was eventually broken up, and no injuries were reported. Nobody knows why the fight actually started.
Starting point is 01:06:41 but it was a brawl at literally a kindergarten graduation and I just feel so bad for those kids because that's their parents their parents that are fighting. They were telling the parents to stop. The kids, the kids are trying to parent the parents. I can't even deal. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 01:06:59 This is going to be a nightmare. The grand tour, I love the original show with Jeremy Clarks and Richard Hammond and James May. So now they're doing a younger and digital lineup. And they have these two. I mean, the guys that they have, they do a car show. It's called Throttle House. And I've seen some of that before.
Starting point is 01:07:19 And that's pretty decent. But that doesn't mean that you can literally host, you know, like your own series. And then they have this other guy who's like a comedian or influencer or whatever on with it. One of the reasons why this is going to be horrible and it's not going to do anything. No offense to these guys. And that's because they're not Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond and James May. That relationship made that show. that was the original you just can't it's not because people want to watch a great show about cars and travel
Starting point is 01:07:45 they were watching three legitimate friends who were really good at what they did enjoy these hobbies that's what people tuned in for you can't replicate that that's a stupid move by amazon china is now the biggest debt collector in the developing world according to a new report and that's because of the belt and road initiative absolutely and they're doing that to shore up their influence and their control. Pennies are going away. Basically, it's like three cents to make one cent. So spend them or keep them.
Starting point is 01:08:18 I don't care. But they're going away. Pennies are going away. Let's see. And we're going to have a lot of killer heat warning top forecasters. It's about time because it's been cloudy and kind of cool here in Texas and I'm ready for a dry heat. Stick with us.

Starting point is 01:09:42 POTUS is still in the Oval Office talking to the press. Elon Musk spoke to the press as well. He was also asked about that New York Times story, which he said, yes, the New York Times. Exactly what we said in the first hour. His response was exactly what was needed. Yes, the same New York Times
Starting point is 01:09:59 that ran with the Russian disinformation story is trying to shop a piece that somehow Doge is invalid because Elon Musk said that he had apparently used ketamine once or he uses ketamine prescription to help with depression. And I just, for the media to try to invalidate, and first off, for the media to try to act like he's just Isaac Hyde all the time, ignoring the Hunter Biden stuff. Let's not forget Hunter Biden was literally smoking crack and snorting blow. And he's going to White House meetings.
Starting point is 01:10:35 he was accompanying his father, the President of the United States at the time on Air Force One to go to foreign countries to visit world leaders and dignitaries on official White House business while all of that was happening. So spare us the concern. They're trying to find any kind of way possible to invalidate the decision to save billions, hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars that has been wasted through USAID on these exact organizations now that are running these hit pieces on the, mastermind of the entity that went and publicized the waste, fraud, abusive, USA and these media entities to begin with. You see how cyclical this is? So welcome back, Dana Lash with you. If we have the New York
Starting point is 01:11:17 Times thing, can we play that once more? I know we had, we just need to play it once more because it was a very, as soon as you get it, just let me know, it was a very good sound bite. And I'm glad that POTUS came out swinging for him live in the Oval Office. And then he gave him, what was that a key?
Starting point is 01:11:33 Yeah. It was a key that he gave. I didn't know if it was a pin. I couldn't see it from the monitor. Oh, White House key. Okay. In a very fancy box. So he gave him that as a thank you for everything that he was doing. So this was, I mean, I'm glad that he, I'm glad that he came out hitting the way that he did because he needed to. And for, I think that story is going to go away. I just don't know how the press or anyone else can sit here and be up in arms about what Doge, what Doge is doing, saving taxpayer dollars while I every which way they could to try to invalidate it they were they they attempted it and then going after musk and I the other thing too and I said this I think before we went to headlines do you know how dangerous it is to denigrate people who are dealing with any kind of
Starting point is 01:12:24 mental issue acting as though anything that they do is invalidated because of that issue I mean okay let's apply that to trans then I mean okay turnabout's fair game let's do it to trans. I mean, those are your rules, right, left? I mean, just to denigrate people that are dealing with their own mental health issues. And by the way, the only reason anybody even knows about it is because he was so transparent about it and he just said it to his biographer. If we have that, this was the exact way that he needed to handle this. Go ahead and play it if we got it. Thank you, President Trump. The president mentioned that you had to deal with all the slings and arrows during your time at Doge. There's this. Some of the people, you know, some of the
Starting point is 01:13:03 media organizations in this room with the slingers. Well, so, there is a New York Times report today that accuses you of blurring the line between. Is the New York Times? Is that the same publication that got a Pulitzer Prize for false reporting on the Russia Gate? Is it the same organization? I got to check my Pulitzer counter.
Starting point is 01:13:27 It is. So I think the judge just ruled against New York Times for their lies about the Russia gate hoax and that they might have to give back that fluids of price that New York Times let's move on that was good that was a good way to answer it that's the exact way that it needed to be dealt with it's that and that's exactly true and and all they said all the media all that entity said was all these were texts that we we saw text of people talking about it if you read the article cane is that is that is that evidence that sounds so
Starting point is 01:14:02 dumb with that we saw text that someone said that he did that and so it must be true that's the dumbest stuff I've ever I the love needs to be really really careful about devolving evidentiary standards really be careful because again I warn you guys and you think I'm joking but I'm I'm serious I am deathly serious I would never run for the highest office in the lane because I would be glad rail with the one ring and I would make certain people's lives such a hellscape and I would totally abuse my authority to do it. Oh my gosh. You add I guarantee you I promise you Boy Scouts honor and I'm not a boy scouts. I would absolutely do it. So yeah you might want to be careful about that because I would have so many people on lists. Oh man it would be crazy.
Starting point is 01:14:57 Yes I would. I'd have them on list and not just for like blatant things too like if you're wearing unhymed denim, you're on a list. I can't stand that trend. Him the denim. That's like poor people from the 1930s wear. What is up with that? All right, that's a whole other issue. I have other, before I get too deep into that, I have some other things we've got to hit too. I mentioned you, the Nellie Orr thing. I'm going to go back to that really quickly. This is the New York post piece that came out yesterday. Sorry, day before yesterday. Nellie Ower. Now you guys remember, her husband is Bruce Ower. She is Bruce Orr is in the Department of Justice, was in the Department of Justice.
Starting point is 01:15:35 This is under Obama Biden. Go all the way back to 2016. Nelly Ower worked for Fusion GPS, which is an opposition research firm. And they also did lobbying on behalf of Russian oligarchs. Now, Nellie O'er was at Fusion GPS. Okay. The DNC hired a law firm called Perkins Cooey as their middleman, and Perkins Cooey worked with Fusion GPS.
Starting point is 01:16:07 The DNC and Hillary Clinton, Perkins Cooey was the law firm that they worked at, that they worked with for her 2016 campaign. And so they hired this law firm. They were working with Perkins Cooey. Perkins Cooey enlisted the help of Fusion GPS. And then they were trying to take this like stupid ABBO research that, can I just say having seen everything that they had in this dossier, I cannot believe anybody would pay for that.
Starting point is 01:16:35 Literally everything that was in that dossier is nothing was new at the time. It was all old like, you know, thrown about like Reddit rumors and all kinds of goofy stuff that they tried to wrap up to make it look like it was legitimate information. And they brought this disgraced former British spy, Chris Steelellan, to attach his name to it. it to make it look like it was more reputable. So literally they just cobbled together a bunch of internet comments and they fashioned it into this dossier. They paid off Chris Steele to attach his name to it to make it look like it was above board and to make it look like he was the one that was bringing it to people and shopping it. And then through that they had this information. They were leaking it to different reporters, friendlies. And we know a couple of them, but the other names
Starting point is 01:17:25 were redacted. We know that because of court filings. And, And they would, these reporters would take this information and they would rehash it in their respective publications under their bylines. And then Nellie O'er at Fusion GPS would kick this stuff over to her husband, Bruce O'er, at the DOJ. He took those stories, took them to the FISA court and along with a couple of discredited FBI guys. And we're like, look, look at these stories where there's smoke, there's fire. This means that we really need to get a surveillance. warrant on some of these folks in the Trump administration. There's some Russian stuff happening
Starting point is 01:18:04 here. And they were able to bypass through corrupt members of FISA. They were able to bypass all the proper protocol that safe scarred people against this being weaponized against them and then being put under surveillance for petty political reasons. They bypassed all of that and they got wiretaps and these surveillance warrants on people like Carter Page and that. And sidebar, remember Carter Page, they were going they were going at him the FBI was going at him and they were trying to act like they leaked his name in the press and all these stories started appearing that Carter Page was this he was this Russian stooge he was spying for the Russians the CIA had to get involved how embarrassing is this Carter Page was a CIA asset against Russia and the CIA actually had to divulge that prematurely to stop the corrupt people at the top of the FBI from going through through with us. That is how stupid this is. The judge that signed off on the FISA warrant, she was gone. She had to leave. She's no longer on the FISA court. The DNC and Hillary Clinton's campaign each were fined pretty severely because they did not list all the money that they spent
Starting point is 01:19:16 on this stuff as part of their federal election campaign disclosures. And so they got into a lot of trouble for it. I don't know how Fusion GPS didn't get in trouble for not being for being an unregistered FARA agent for an agent's registration act. That's the thing what's the guy who went to jail? Who went to jail? He was
Starting point is 01:19:36 had advised the first Trump campaign. No, no, no. Mannafort. Yeah. He went to jail for it being an, that was the charge that got him in jail. He was an unregistered Farrer agent. Foreign agent's registration act. He didn't comply. Fusion GPS from everything that's been
Starting point is 01:19:52 reported never registered either, and yet they were lobbying on behalf of literal Russian oligarchs against the Magnitsky Act to get that repealed. So that is the whole, that's the genesis of that. That's how that happened. And so bringing back to bring me back to this piece. So Nellie Ower, it all, all of this stuff is coming out now. It's, uh, all the receipts came out about her involvement in drafting and disseminating that, repackaged YouTube comments basically as a dossier. She was working for Fusion GPS and she had lied about it, how she didn't know about the DOJ's parallel investigation into the matter.
Starting point is 01:20:36 Well, the DOJ had a parallel investigation because her husband Bruce Ower worked at the DOJ and led it. Really? How did he get the information from Fusion GPS? His wife, Nellie maybe, who worked there? Are you kidding me? Well, now there's evidence out that shows she absolutely compiled all of that information. She was the one who compiled the information that Chris Steele was trying to push off on everybody like it was his.
Starting point is 01:21:06 They were going to wander it through Chris Steele and use his past affiliation as a British spy to legitimize the nonsense that they were selling. And she was absolutely behind it. and there are all of these FBI documents now that show that she sent emails she was trying to delete her emails she was trying to scrub her history on it because she knew what she was doing was illegal and they
Starting point is 01:21:35 all of this is out thumb drives that had all of the stuff that she researched that she personally passed to the FBI her husband who was the deputy associate attorney general at the time he received all of these emails. She sent all this stuff to him. Now, keep in mind, she also was telling everyone publicly she had no idea about the parallel investigation over at the DOJ that just happened to be using the exact same information that she had researched and was sending to these reporters to launder through the press. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? And remember, the biggest accusation was this in this was that Carter Page had met with the Russian officials. and that the Kremlin had Trump over a barrel.
Starting point is 01:22:21 That was ultimately like their biggest. This was the stupidest thing. And all of this information now is coming out. The House Judiciary and Oversight committees, they started looking into this. Mark Meadows at the time had accused her of knowingly giving false testimony. Why is she not in jail then? Why is Nellie O. or not in jail? I really do think that she should be convicted and jailed.
Starting point is 01:22:44 Because what she did was traitorous. she was actively working her and her dipy husband Bruce Orr at the DOJ they were actively working to undermine a free and fair election in 2016 that is how unbelievable this is and they're not even smart enough to scrub everything and hide it
Starting point is 01:23:02 so all of that's coming out now all of these receipts now that there's a change in leadership now I'm going to tell you too just because there's a change in leadership at the FBI and elsewhere does not mean I trust those agencies yet because there were a lot of deputies under those heads, those department heads that
Starting point is 01:23:23 were entirely corrupt, Peter Strach, Lisa Page, Bruce Ower. So it doesn't change just because you have like Cash Patel there. So I want people to realize just switching James Comey and then cash peddle, just switching that out doesn't legitimize the or or redeeming. the past offenses of that bureaucracy. It's great that Patel's in there. But I don't trust the deputies that are right under him anymore.
Starting point is 01:23:57 So it's still something you need to be very suspicious of and very discerning about. But all of this is just now all of these receipts. Yes, she knew all about it all. She thought she deleted some of these emails and turns out she hadn't. They were covered them. I guess they were in her trash can.
Starting point is 01:24:14 I'm not even kidding you. Like she thought she deleted I mean, you got to like empty that. It doesn't work that way. She didn't actually delete all of them. So they found all of this stuff. The truth always wills out. It always wins every time. Hard work, self-reliance showing up. That's what built this country. And it's exactly how our president leads. No excuses, no handouts, just results. But let's be honest, even the most dedicated Americans can't run on empty. Real sleep isn't a luxury. It's essential.
