Welcome to the program. Dana Lash with you. Golly, what a way to start the day off, right? Can you know where I'm going? I have other stuff to hit, but it feels weird to not talk about the passing of Hulk Hogan. I mean, we literally just found out right before going to air. And I know he had had some health issues recently. That doesn't make any of it better because I think the last time, what is, I think the last time,

What is, I think the last time that everybody kind of saw him, maybe perhaps. Well, he did some stuff, I think, on some of the Fox shows. But he was on stage at the Republican National Convention. And didn't he also take part in some of the inaugural stuff, I thought? Yeah. So he took part in some of the inaugural stuff too. And I just, golly. We can't have, this is not right for both Ozzy and Hulk Hogan back to back like this.

This is just, this is fate being a jerk. This is too much, man. Hulk Hogan, they announced, I mean, literally just moments ago that he has passed away. And, I mean, I think information is still all coming out about all of this. But it is truly, that was, that one was shocking. Because he seemed so healthy. I mean, I just think if you can rip your shirt in half, you're probably pretty healthy. You know what I mean?

Like, can you rip your shirt in half if you try? I mean, if I really try and I almost get myself an aneur. I probably can. But it was, golly, just shocking. So this was announced. We had the passing of Ozzy just, you know, the other day. And now this story of Hulk Hogan passing away, he really put wrestling on the map. And there's going to be a lot of discussion about this.

Terry Jean Belia was his real name. I think I've heard people call him Terry, but no one, I've never heard anyone really. actually call him anything other than Hulk, right? The Hulkster. Seventy-one years old. And they said he had suffered a cardiac arrest at his home. And that's what happened. So he had suffered a cardiac arrest at his home. That's ultimately what happened. And that he had, I think he had had surgery a little bit earlier. The crazy thing is, is did you hear, I saw this story. And I thought nothing of it. It's this story. The headline is Jimmy Hart, latest to dispute rumor that Hulk Hogan is on his deathbed.

Do you remember everything going around saying Hulk Hogan's on his deathbed? And people were saying that's so stupid. It like blipped trended for a half second on social media. Do you, did you see that? And then now, you know, everyone was, you know, everybody was assured that that wasn't the case. And now here we are. Huh. So interesting.

I just felt, I just, I just. I feel, oh, I feel so bad for him. But they said that the mouth of the South joined Eric Bischoff and Hulk's wife trying to shut down the rumor. That was yesterday. That was yesterday. So he wasn't on dust door. He had cardiac arrest. I don't know.

I know, didn't he have surgery? He had had some health issues. But, I mean, he's 71 years old. I mean, he looks like he's in great shape for a 71 year old. But you don't know what heart issues, et cetera, are like during that. But he had, apparently he had. had some surgery. And, but people were saying, no, there was no brain damage. He's, he had an intense surgery. It's a healing process, et cetera, et cetera. So he was basically like recovering from

that. And then there were a lot of rumors flying around about his health. But goodness, I just can't, I just, the fate is killing our culture. Goodness. It sounds like he had complications from his surgery. A long intensive surgery at age 71, no matter what shape you're in. That's hard for anybody, right? That's hard for anybody. When's the last time you saw him on TV? I think it was a Fox thing. I want to say it was like a couple of months ago, but I might be wrong ago. No, it wasn't that long ago. It was, I mean, when Trump won in November last year, we saw him shortly after that as well. So less than a year? I mean, six months? Yeah. Golly. So this 71 years old, and for whatever reason, he just, oh my gosh. And then everybody

everybody is reminding me, Kane. We got the rule of three. So Hulk Hogan starts a new one. Actually, there's a, gosh, I hate talking. Sorry wait and talk about this. This is so horrible. Damn you, Grandma and her rule of three. There was the musician that Vegas Larry was telling us that he was telling us about for the rule of three.

Oh my goodness. And I can't even. Golden earring? Yes, golden earring. Yes, thank you. So that, so that he actually kicked off the new one. Ozzy finished the first set of three. Now we have a whole new set of three and there's two out of the three.

I know this sounds morbid, but my grandmother's rule has never been wrong, ever. And it's creepy, but, uh, goodness. He was the greatest wrestler of all time. Hulk Hogan was the greatest wrestler of all time. The end. The end. He put, he put wrestling on the map. He put WWE on the map.

He absolutely did. Just an absolute. I watched him as a kid growing up. This is going to sound weird. The, oh, wait, you know what? Lorraine just reminded me of Malcolm Jamal Warner. That's the three. No, we thought we counted them.

No, Connie Francis. Ozzy Osbourne, Connie Francis, and then there was the other third. And then it's Malcolm Jamal Warner. So this just might be the three. Lorraine's keeping track of the Deadpool. I'm so sorry to talk about it like that. But my grandmother's rule must be satisfied. But do you remember

This was back in like the late 80s, I think I was a little kid And just for perspective I wasn't in kindergarten until like 1986 So I remember Right and this was right after My mom could afford just like basic cable And we started watching some of the wrestling

I started watching some of the wrestling programs was my grandpa and all my cousins who were dudes watched the wrestling programs. And I remember there was like a collaboration between Cindy Lopper and Hulk Hogan, who remembers this? And didn't they have like a whole crew? And they were like fighting like it was their crew and another crew. And it was like a huge crossover. She did a video and I swear to you where they were in the video.

And then there was like a cartoon of it and everything. thing. It was like a huge promotional, like, dream. And I remember watching that. I don't remember a lot about it because it was so young when it was on TV. But that really got me into wrestling. And then I started watching Monday Night Raw and I would play poker when I was in, like, high school and college. No, we didn't drink. I've never, we had sodies and it was all about loose change, right? I was, I'm a really, just for the record, I, if I ever did another job, I'd probably be a professional poker player. But it was, I can't remember the name of it.

Anyway, me and here's what's weird, all of my friends who were girls watched this. Because it was Cindy Lauper who everybody liked, all the girls liked, you know, she was a pop, you know, super popular at the time. And she had like hit song after hit song. We watched it. And then I will never forget when we would run around the neighborhood as kids. It didn't matter whose house we were at. If it was wrestling that was on.

And their stuff usually, their cartoon was on on Saturday mornings. And I just remember, like in the evenings when they would do their stuff, we all would sit down boys and girls. When's the last time you see like, you know, 10-year-old girls sitting down watching wrestling? You know what I'm saying? We sat down. It was my point being in telling the story is that his role in it made it so accessible for everybody. everybody. Oh my gosh. He brought in all these viewers. He was the greatest wrestler, not just for performance, but just for, not just for his, you know, athleticism. He was a good stageman. He was a great

impresario. He was really good as a performer performer. I didn't mean to talk about it all segment, but my gosh, this is a hard week, Gen X. It's a hard week. Dang. So just to let you know some of the stuff that we have coming up. So South Park's back. So that we're going to have to have a conversation about South Park and remind people that South Park is South Park. And that's kind of how they always have been. And yeah. So we get, because they had Trump featured prominently Kane in their first episode back. So we're going to have a conversation about this. Everybody's been talking about it. Some of the the other things we're going to get into. I got some immigration headlines for you.

We're also, did you hear that Joe Biden? He sold his memoir for like peanuts. Wait until you hear this story. It's almost sad, but my memory of him being such a jack wagon makes me, it just, that's the bulwark against any sympathy for him. You know what I mean? Nobody, he like apparently sold it for a fraction of what every other Democrat president's ever sold their memoirs for. It's actually really embarrassing. So I have this headline for you. I've got a ton of stuff. It's a heavy culture day. But yeah, that's just, that's so sad. Hulk Hogan passed away, age 71. It's official now.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

I'm just sitting here contemplating my own mortality as all the icons of the 80s and 90s pass away into the ether. We're going to start playing some dark wave goth rock here. That's what's going to happen for the show. I'm wearing blue today. This is so inappropriate. I just need to be like veiled in black. All right. So we were going to play Twilight from Golden Earing, which we still will.

George Coyman's guitarist co-founder. Can I just tell you I'm like literally today years old? I didn't know that they were like Dutch. Yeah, I didn't know. I just figured they were British this whole time. 77 years old, he passed away due to complications from ALS. He was diagnosed with that about five years ago. So good grief.

And you know, they're a big famous song, Twilight, which I'm not going to sing, but Cancant. Twilight Zone. Well, what's the, you can sing the chorus. I'm not going to sing. Oh, okay, no one. All right, then. I thought you liked them. I guess you hate them.

And then Hulk Hogan, obviously, passed away at age 71. This on top of Ozzy Osbourne. Everybody stopped dying. So to make it weirder, people are buying $8,000 life like baby dolls. Of like, so I'm looking at this story from the Wall Street Journal. woman with beautiful hair. She's an attractive older woman. She's got beautiful brown hair. And she's holding, I was like, well, maybe it's her granddaughter or something like that. No, it's her realistic fake baby. A designer fake baby. This is weird. And this is like a huge thing. So here's a question. Steve or came. If you guys, you know, you're out there single, ready to mingle, you come across the woman. She's real good looking. You click, you like her. And then she's, you know, she's, you're, you're, you get to her apartment and she's got a fake baby. Is that?

That's a deal breaker. Deal breaker for you? It's deal breaker for you, Steve. Fake baby, realistic $8,000 fake baby in the ladies apartment? Unless she's like practicing CPR or something. I'm coming back to this. This is fascinating. Washington State hides how many people die by assisted suicide.

That's terrifying. I mean, it's euthanasia is essentially, but they're not going to release data on it anymore because they don't want to have to talk about the complications of having so many people oving themselves. It's eating eggs weekly can lower your Alzheimer's risk by nearly 50%. I eat eggs almost every day. Pretty much almost every day. But they said that it's a 4% lower risk of Alzheimer's. 27 participants over six and a half years were diagnosed with it, but they really tracked it closely. There's a decline. That's fascinating. We have a lot more in store. Stick with

us. Our partners that help bring you the program, it's the folks over at Angel Studios. We always complain about Hollywood, but how many people actually do something about it? That's the thing.

At no time did we ever conclude that the Russians succeeded in entering voting machines and changing the votality. And I will also say that in almost every briefing we gave to the Hill, we were asked, do you think that all of this activity that the Russians engaged in and did successfully, like the hacking and dumping, like sending undercovers here, like, uh, like, uh, creating the internet research agency to manipulate public opinion,

did those activities have an effect on the outcome of the election? And every single time we said, we don't opine on that. Yeah, see, this is, they're trying to retcon this whole story about, and that was, by the way, Andy McCabe, they're trying to retcon this whole story that concerns this Russian collusion timeline. And Annie McCabe is saying, what was that? on MSNBC or CNN. I totally don't even pay attention to their networks. CNN, thank you. He was saying, well, in no time, that's right, because he's a contributor over there. He was saying, well, at no time did we ever conclude that, you know, the Russians succeeded in entering the voting machines.

No, they concluded it literally right after they lost in 2016. So they didn't conclude it all the way up until, because they were still believing that they were going to get this done. They were thinking that they had it, you know? And then the moment Trump won, they were like, Oh. Collusion. Russia stole the election. They went on and on and on. That's it. I thought this was interesting.

Audio Sombrite 6, what Andy McCabe said about DNI, head of DNI. Listen to this. Lucy Gabbard is simply an opportunist in this play, right? She, her star is falling. Her analysis was thrown out the window on Iran. She embarrassed herself with that that somewhat bizarre video about nuclear weapons in Japan. And so she's using this as an opportunity to get herself back into favor with the White House.

That's my personal assessment. But, you know, this is, this seems to be kind of the state of the union for what we're in right now. So I think, so what he's doing, I'm not agreeing with him. What he's doing is attacking the messenger, which is irrelevant to the facts at hand. don't think that there's anything new that we have from many of the stuff that's been released, that DNI released. All it does is confirm what we always actually thought. And Democrats can try to retcon it, but there are receipts. And we were talking about this in-depth yesterday. I laid some of those out. I do think there's something to be said, though, about the pageantry

with which this was delivered. Because it does give people who are forever cynical, it does put some questions in their head because she for all intents and purposes looked to be entirely shut out of a lot of the stuff pertaining to the Middle East specifically Iran right because she uh I mean was I mean she was wrong about Iran and had to do a complete 180 she did this video came out with it it seemed to at least the rumor on the hill was that it put her sideways with POTUS and his advisors and then had to do a 180 and come back and say something entirely different regardless of who it is that's head of DNI, when you have someone that's heading our intelligence agencies and they're at that high level and they are of that stature, you can't be flipping and flopping. You know, one of the

reasons that you're selected for these positions is your resolution ability, your ability to make quick decisions, your discernment and the confidence that you have in those decisions. I mean, going from one position to entirely another position just so that you can get back and potus as good graces within the span of two weeks doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in some of the those cynics. And I think that that's something, regardless of your feelings on Gabr, that everybody can say, yeah, I understand why that might cause some difficulty in the minds of people who, you know, maybe were perhaps questioning either her ability to lead or the veracity of the information that she was dealing with at the time when she made that initial assessment on Iran prior to changing

her mind entirely. So that being said, the, she's not wrong with any of the stuff that she released. Because as I was explaining yesterday, I mean, the receipts are there. I mean, this is stuff that we already, we knew. We knew all of this stuff already. But the, I do think there, that maybe within some of this effort, there was an attempt to try to get back into POTUS's good graces with the pageantry of it perhaps. Does that make sense, Cain? Because when it's stuff that's already, some of it was already publicly known, it was the specifics of which were not confirmed.

some of it was already publicly known. And I'm just because some of this stuff already had been declassified from CIA, some of it already came out from FOIA requests. I mean, the criminal referral is news for certain. And I mean, having that, you know, I think that's totally fun to have a press conference about that. But I don't want to get into the Epstein binder area where you're coming out with information that most everybody already knows and we're trying to act. like the significance of announcing it somehow satisfies the public requirement for more information.

It doesn't. You know, simply having a, you know, a formal process by which you announce it doesn't mean that you're announcing new information. And we've got to be careful with the administration developing a pattern of this. So that's kind of like my only correction that I would offer with this. I know my friend Andy McCarthy is absolutely caustic on it because he, I think he was livid because there was nothing new. and he also is met, he seems to be more on the side of John Ratcliffe.

And remember, I think Potus and Ratcliffe are a little bit at odds in a couple of issues. But he, you know, and he was correct in noting that Ratcliffe already did an analytical report that contradicted her implication that there wasn't evidence of Russian interference. And I think one of the things that people are cautioning is that it's not that there wasn't Russian interference, but there was Russian interference. There was Russian interference on the side of Democrats. You can't say that there wasn't any Russian interference in the 2016 election. And then also simultaneously acknowledged that Hillary Clinton and the DNC had to pay a serious fine

because they violated campaign law when they were hiring literally an unregistered foreign agent that had been lobbying for years on behalf of these Russian oligarchs that was peddling Kremlin discarded and unverified Kremlin opposition that the FBI confirmed privately in emails that they wouldn't even touch with a 10-foot poll. That's why the FBI never validated it. The FBI didn't say a damn thing about that dossier after because it's discredited Russian operative that was presented by a disgraced British spy to an unregistered foreign agent entity that was then peddled by partisan members of the DOJ and FBI to a FISA judge.

So you can't say that there wasn't any Russian interference because that literally was Russian interference. I mean, for crying out loud, a woman named Natalia Levitskaya was one of the people running the ops. And she had been lobbying on behalf of Russian oligarchs through Fusion GPS. Come on, guys. So I do take issue with that part of his statement there. I do. Now, this, a couple of things. You have former DNI, James Clapper.

He says he's afraid that he's going to be arrested. Well, he lied under oath a couple of times. Listen to what he has to say here. Sorry, this is five. When the director says that she's referred these filings to the Justice Department for criminal investigation, tonight we're told they formed what is called a strike force. Do you have concerns that they will attempt to prosecute you? Well, certainly I do.

You know, after eight and a half years of this, and I don't know of an intelligence product that was more scrutinized, more investigated than that product was by numerous people. You know, it's very disconcerting. It really is. And I take seriously when the President of the United States accuses me of being a participant in a treasonous conspiracy, which is ridiculous.

Yeah, what's your reaction to that? It's ridiculous. It just is untrue. So what will you do if they come after you? What is your plan? Well, I'll lawyer up, I suppose. I already have. You know, and he's just talking about the Russian collusion aspect. Let's not forget when he testified in March of 2013 at a Senate hearing. And he was asked about the national security agency. And they specifically asked him. And again, this is back in 2013 under Obama Biden. They asked him whether or not the NSA collects any data at all on hundreds of millions of Americans. And Clapper said no, under oath. In fact, I think his answer was no, sir, not wittingly.

He lied. Because then three months later, regardless of what you think about Edward Snowden and everybody's got criticisms, that's when All of that information came to light about the expansive vastness of the NSA warrantless electronic spying. He blatantly perjured himself. He lied under oath before the Senate when he was asked about this. This was long before Russian collusion. So it's why I say he's repeatedly perjured himself. There used to be penalties for people who perjured themselves when they were testifying

before members of the House or Senate. And apparently, if you are James Clapper and you're an Obama Biden minion, you don't have to worry about penalties for things like that. Because the old adage of being equal before the law and being equal underneath it once it's broken doesn't apply to him. It's D different. I mean, the, and I think the statute of limitations ran out on that already. So, I mean, even if you wanted to go and prosecute him for that, you. wouldn't be able to. Are they going to run out the clock for this? I mean, he's lied, he lied under oath about collusion. He, because they knew, by the way, they knew all of this

stuff was false. Remember when they had that letter of 51 intelligence agents, or 51 intelligence, like high-ranking members of the intel communities, all of them partisan that signed this letter, then it came out later that they knew that it was, what they were saying was false, but they signed their name to it anyway. It was like they were signing their name to a political pledge, more so than anything that demonstrated their belief in the veracity. of the evidence that necessitated that whole witch hunt in the first place. So this is the issue. So, yeah, he should have been prosecuted a hell of a long time ago for lying under oath.

And the moment that he started talking about collusion, most of us didn't believe him anyway because we already knew that he lied under oath in 2013. He's a partisan hack, just like the rest of the legacy press that props him up. I mean, think about this for a minute. You're in the press and you want to make a name for yourself, but you're just a person. political tribalism is so strong that you can't even bring yourself to write one story on the worst kept secret in D.C. about the NSA spying, warrantless electronic surveillance of millions of people. You can't even bring yourself to write a damn piece on it, not even a word, not a tweet,

because people were so invested in the industry of them and keeping their access to power. It's ridiculous. But that's what happened. That's what press is all about anymore. It's a bunch of fame horrors masquerading is people who actually care about distributing news and they don't. And there are very few. I mean, I can count them on one hand. I can count the number of actual reporters that I know that actually report and believe in the story over their own byline on one hand. Not kidding. Sad state of things, is it not? We have more on the way as we roll towards the conclusion of this first hour. We got other stuff coming up in the second, including some of the latest with immigration. What Greece is doing and what Britain is not. As we move, our partners that

And before we go on hiatus, we only have one more show after this.

I'm allowed to say that, right? Too late now. So it doesn't really matter. Before we go, I wanted to tell people that the tide is churning, the tide is turning, and things are changing. I mean, the ultimate irony would be that Rupert Murdoch will take him down. Yeah. Fox News, who created the monster, will take him down. Oh, for the love.

So she's apparently, what do they? Don't they always take a hiatus anyway? Like at the end of summer before fall and they go on a break? So why are they trying to act like this is a big deal? Yeah. She's like, we only have one more show after this and acted like it was because they were going to cancel him. or cancel them or something. I don't even think Trump cares about the view.

I really don't. But they do that. They actually go. They take a break and then they all go back. I know this because I guest hosted the show. I've been on the show a few times. And that's how they work. They go on a lot of those shows.

They go on hiatus. You know, give the staff a break at the end of summer. It's usually like right before everybody kicks back into school and all of that. They go out. They're gone for like a week or two. They run old episodes or they would have like the host rotate. and have guest host in, and then everybody comes back and they start, you know, the new season and fall. So they always take a summer hiatus.

Like they all do that. So I think that's so stupid to act like they're getting canceled. You know what's funny, and we're going to talk about this. I am so amused by the fact that the left has been, you know, weeping and ashing their teeth over Colbert, while also simultaneously celebrating South Park because they said that South Park was savage on Trump yesterday. South Park, by the way, has gone after every single politician, Democrat or Republican. I think maybe, except they didn't really go after Biden a lot.

That would be, but this is a new season. So who the hell knows what they're going to do? They probably will. I wouldn't doubt it because they have always gone after. And it's not like that they do it. on purpose to make either side happy, they just lampoon everything. And there are some people on the right that are really mad about it. And I'm like, I can tell you've never watched South Park.

The people who are the angriest have literally never watched South Park. They also made fun of Colbert on their show. They savaged Colbert. But what it shows and what South Park just proved, and the left is too stupid to realize this, what South Park just proved by coming out, you know, so hot like this first episode, is that it has nothing to do with criticizing Trump. Colbert was canceled because he got fired, not canceled. His show was canceled.

He was fired because he sucks. He's bad at his job. He is not an engaging or an entertaining host. He can't retain the audience that precedes from the programming that precedes him. They drip off like in the first 10 minutes of the show. All of this is measurable. They were not moving inventory with ads. AdWeak had a story about that.

And AdWeek watches, what sells and what doesn't. They were really struggling. They were hemorrhaging money. You had a petty partisan host who thought that he was so great. He couldn't get over his own self in favor of his audience. That his bitter little rants constituted humor or that it was acceptable for late night. People don't want that crap late night. It's late night.

to bed. They want fun. They want humor. They want entertainment. They want something that helps them just brush the day off and go to bed. They don't want heavy rants and monologues, especially from bitter beddies like Stephen Colbert. And that's what the left doesn't get. We got a lot more on this coming up. Second hour on the way, don't go anywhere. Partners over at Burn a gun. I'm always going to tell people to carry. And I'm always going to tell you to train and be ready for anything. And I have zero problem myself in using lethal force to protect myself or a loved one. But, here's the thing. There are so many different private property restrictions, municipal restrictions, to say nothing of laws about, you know, you can be old enough to go to college and live on your own

in another town, but not old enough to carry, you know, a handgun for self-protection. So here's where the burner gun comes in. Burn a gun shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. There's no recoil, easy target acquisition. And unlike stun guns, the burner actually has five rounds, right? And stun guns, you should. And stun guns, you're have like maybe one or two. There's several different types of burner guns. I mean, they make rifles, but I think for this, obviously, this purpose, the burner SD, which is their most popular model, or the new burner CL, which is 38% smaller and easier to conceal, I think, as a female, as a smaller statute of female, than the SD. But I think you need to consider both of them.

You got the legal flexibility. There's no background checks. There's no permits. It does not care about gun-free zone signs at all whatsoever. It's legal in all 50 states. There's, you don't have to have a license, nothing. It's accessible for everybody. Can literally ship it right to your front porch. You need to check it out. It's good to have a diverse weapons array. You want to be ready for every situation. And this is just part of that for the same reason you have pistols and rifles, different calibers and blades. Visit burnah.com slash Dana and check out the new burner.

C-L. It's B-Y-R-N-A.Berna.com slash Dana. Well, every time we try to comment in with audio, somebody dies. Oh yeah, welcome back to the show. Dana Lash with you. It's not you, thankfully, but now we got Chuck Mangeone. So Rule of Three starts all over again. Here we go. Welcome to the program.

Dana Lash here with you on this morbid, you know, horrible, horrible day for 80s and 90s kids all over the world. We're at the top of the second hour. You can follow along and commiserate Channel 347, Direct TV, commiserate with the chat. It's over at Rumble. Make sure you go sign up at Substack, YouTube, Facebook, like, and subscribe. So Chuck Mangione is now I don't, I mean, I know I've got other stuff to get to, but this is a weird day culturally.

Well, I mean, it's weird. Think about it. Over the past two, less than two weeks, we've gone through two, three person lists. All of the icons of 80s and 90s kids are getting knocked off. Fate is like, I'm coming for you, Gen X. That's what it's saying right now. Anybody else like sitting here quietly just like mulling over their own mortality?

No, trust me. Okay. I told Kane last night before I went to bed I saw this insane photo and it was of Ozzy going into heaven and then there was Freddie Mercury and Lemmy and then there was Ronnie James Dio and then Kirkoban was in the back but let's be real

and I can't remember who else oh Jimmy Hendricks and I'm like it was sad and then I started thinking about how we're all made of meat and we're on a rock flying through the blackness of space and we're all going to die soon anyway hi now you see why I'm a goth kid

that's what I saw. That was literally the last thing I saw before I went to bed. Now, you guys know how my mind works. Ladies, husbands that are watching, you all know how your ladies work. All the men out there are going, my gosh, my wife is going to ask me about this right before we go to bed, isn't she? I don't know what it is, but it's like women, when they get married, this skill set comes out. And they have this amazing ability, like right before the man's about to drift off to sleep. That's when we just, I don't know, realize that we need to talk.

to you about something. And we just start without waking you up. Some of us are kind and wake you up. But it's insane. I saw this video from Trey Kennedy. He was making fun of his wife for doing that, where she leaned in front of him as he was drifting off to sleep, holding her phone's calendar and going, we need to talk about next month's calendar right as he was going to sleep. And I felt seen because I do that. Then I realized, oh, he's making fun of it. Oh, me. Anyway, Chuck Me and Geom. I don't even know what a flugel horn is, but he plays it. I just know he plays a horn. But he, uh, they formed the jazz brothers. He, I think what, 14 got nominated for 14 Grammys. Uh, his, he had a, uh, big hit, uh, back in the 70s. I just remember, uh, his song was the one song that he had, what was it?

Give it all you got. That's when that, that was the miracle on ice. And then it just like, is like super, all hockey players, all people who love hockey know that song. Because that was the theme for the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid. And that's when the miracle on ice is when men's hockey won. And it, you know, it's like synonymous now with hockey ever since then. But wow, good night. So that's like a pretty big, that's a pretty big deal. So all these people kicking the bucket, I'm telling you, Grim Reaper's out for all the icons of Gen X. And in the meantime, we're going to get into some of the meat and potatoes, but I want to get into some of the other stuff. Can we talk about the South Park?

Skit? Okay, they did make fun of Stephen Colbert yesterday, but they also made a lot of fun of POTUS. Well, was it fun of POTUS or they were just having fun with POTUS? I think there's a difference. Because I feel like if they really wanted to go at him, they could have gone a lot harder. But you're like, but Dana,

they had Trump with a Canadian head. And if you don't know what that means, then you can't get mad at South Park. They gave him a Canadian head and they had him in bed with the devil. Okay. And who was the last person that they portrayed doing that, Kane? That would be Saddam Hussein. I like how you said that. Like it's French. Saddam. Saddam. Saddam Hussein. So long story short. They had their episode. They came out, and this was right after, literally the day after it was announced that South Park got 100 and how much money was it? Oh, billions of dollars.

A billion, big oh billion dollar deal for five years of streaming. Play this audio. We can't play the video because we'll get dinged. But I know, YouTube. But we can play the audio. Listen. This was from last night. I say no.

I'm locked in the mood right now. Another random bitch commented on my Instagram that you're on the Epstein list. The Epstein list? Are we still talking about that? We'll argue on the list or not. It's weird that whenever it comes up, you just tell everyone to relax. I'm not telling everyone to relax, relax, ya! No, I need counseling. You remind me more and more of this other guy I used to date.

Like, a lot. Like you guys are exactly alike. I love you. Yeah. So that's what they are, that's what they have with him. They've got the, he said a boot. I feel like they were trolling him like Canada trolling him. Because, and Kane, you know this too. The, so I, the whole situation with wanting Canada to be, you know, America's 51st state. I think they gave him a Canadian head and made him say a boot to troll him in a fun, lighthearted way. It wasn't malicious. There's malicious trolling and then there is just having fun. And South Park is just having fun. Stephen Colbert is just a jack wagon. There's a difference.

And so the left has been like exuberant all day today, right? They, I mean, they've been super excited and they've been cheering, which I find hysterical. Because just yesterday, what was the headline that I had? It was like some doom and gloom headline like, Stephen. gobert's a great loss for the nation i kid you not it was like some kind of headline like that from one of the papers of record and you know we were talking about how overwrought it was but he they right after that happens then south park comes out with this like this episode on trump honestly what the left doesn't realize is that i think that south park trolled them too and here's why i say that

because South Park got the big billion dollar deal. Colbert gets fired and then all of the left is laughing and celebrating with South Park because South Park, they assume that South Park's lighthearted, you know, lampooning of POTUS and they lampoon everybody. They think that that is somehow a substitute for Colbert or maybe even worse than it's not.

But what it shows is that it's not about criticizing Trump or lampooning him. Stephen Colbert was just bad at his job. And so the left got proven to be complete morons with us. Paramount paid more than Stephen Colbert will ever earn to South Park for doing better what Stephen Colbert wishes he could do. But he's too partisan and too malicious to actually take a step back and be funny again. I don't think he's ever going to be funny again.

I think at some point your heart just, it's like the grinch. Your heart just like dries up and it's all desiccated like jerky and withers away. that's I think what happened here. Don't you agree though, Kane? Because I feel like that, I just think it's hysterical that the left is all. It just showed that they're hypocrites. They're stupid on this. They're wrong.

Exactly. Because you look at it. On the left hand, Paramount has the choice to sink in their dollars to a project called South Park. And on the other hand, they had a choice to sink dollars into what's known as the late show with Colbert. They made a business decision and knew that the money they were going to put into Colbert was not going to go anywhere but the drain. they go where the money is, they go where it's popular,

and clearly Colbert isn't. Right. And I also think, too, if Trump ever met, Trace down to Matt Parker, I think they would all get along because they're very irreverent. He's very irreverent. But the people on,

you know, are brethren on the right that are mad about it, no offense. And I'm not saying this to be mean or to nag you or anything, but you don't understand South Park. Like we grew up with it. I was in high school,

I think, when the first episode, premiered and I watched every single season. I have seen every episode of South Park. Every episode. Almost every episode I think of The Simpsons, but I've seen every episode of South Park. Even when it was the cure that was battling Mecca Streisand, remember that? Robert Smith versus Mecca Streisand. I mean, some of them get real crazy. But they make fun of everyone and everything. And sometimes it's not just about a statement. Sometimes it's just about having fun and being funny and goofy. But it's never really malicious. I don't think that they, the only time, even when they were going after Harry and

Megan, it wasn't malicious. It was hysterical because it was true. They were, everything that they said and did, they were just using against them. So I think people need to realize, you can't make fun of that, which controls you. And I don't ever want to be in a position where there's nobody that can be lampoon because out of fear of retribution, that's un-American and nonsense. So I just wanted to be good and I wanted to be clever and I wanted to be actually funny. And they were playing to some of the nostalgia with that episode. And that's what, you know, kind of made it hit for some, you know, some of the people that have watched it from its inception. But it's, you know, it was truly, it's, they're truly funny. And they understand the cultural zeit guys. They get it. And that's what always, you know, they've

always been in the culture. I think they have been consistently in the culture and able to be political without being malicious more than anything else in the industry. And that's a superpower for them. But the people, like I said, the brethren on the right that are mad at them, you clearly have never watched them. You've, you clearly, and again, I'm not being mean, but you've never watched them or at least have watched enough of them. And you, you know, you can't get mad over this. Come on. That's silly. That's silly. And I hope Trump doesn't get mad over it. I mean, he should think of it as like an honor that he's been lampooned in such a way. Because I don't know that they've ever,

I don't know that they've ever given a full episode to anybody. Even back when Trump was first elected and they had, oh my gosh, the teacher, I can't remember his name. My head, my head, the school teacher. Yeah, Mr. Garrison. Mr. Garrison ran basically as Trump back in 2016 when they came out with that season. And it was funny because Mr. Garrison, while he's like over the top and silly, because he's gated. He's over the top and silly, but he also, in many of the situations,

was kind of the voice of common sense, or in the voice of reason in some of the, and talked about like the hysteria of the townsfolk that were reacting to him. So they've already actually kind of, they've already covered Trump before in a different way. And I feel like the people who are getting mad at this now clearly didn't watch that season. Don't be, don't you, I'm just going to say, don't be situational. Don't be into situational bitching. just stop be as consistent as south park is yes how crazy is it that south park is the most consistent thing in politics it's where we are right just like sometimes how florida man is our saving grace you know i'm saying just the way it is so don't get mad about it you know in fact what i would

say to you is laugh your backside off that they just basically pulled a stunt on the left and stephen Colbert because the day after everybody's been saying that this is proof that there's censorship and you have all of these Hollywood celebrities rushing to say it, you have a show that absolutely goes after and lampoons Trump, particularly on the Epstein stuff. And the left is laughing about it without realizing they've just been made into liars. That is actually the final scene of the episode. It's real life. They've been punked into being liars. because they're celebrating criticism of someone that they said couldn't be criticized because people would get pulled off air and hear the people doing it.

It just got a billion dollar deal. That is the end of the episode. It's brilliant. It's our partners over at Relief Factor.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

Okay, so I wanted to save this for Florida, man, but I can't. I ought to, but I'm not. Chuck E. Cheese got arrested. Yeah, literally like Chuck E. Cheese got arrested legit in his mask costume. No, this is not a stunt. They are not pulling a stunt. He got arrested by Tallahassee Police Department and he was taken out of the restaurant while the kids and their families were looking on. It was obviously the person who was in the Chuck E. Cheese outfit that that's why they were arresting him.

But he was booked in the Leon County Jail. He already bonded out. They literally don't know why. But apparently it was like three felonies or something like he had a warrant out. How do you got a warrant out and you've got three felonies and you're showing up to work as Chuckie Cheese? Sorry kids. Chuck E. Cheese got arrested. Those kids are going to be traumatized forever now. They got Chuckie cheese arrested in front of them.

A millionaire safari boss got gored by a six-ton elephant and stamped to death at a five-star private game reserve in South Africa. How in the world does this happen? Because bull elephants can be aggressive. But he got real close and was getting pictures with some of these and it makes me think it might have been something like that. 39-year-old, he got mauled by a six-ton African elephant and attacked him with his tusks, stamped on him. It was 8 a.m.

He would often go out to photograph them. I mean, some people, I think, forget that they're in a reserve, and that reserve, literally they take care of those elephants. And some people think that they can go out and take pictures of them and get real close to them. And that's the problem. When you get too close to them, they feel threatened and they respond, and it makes me think it was something like that. Oh, golly. Let's see, okay. A Cornwall surgeon was accused of fraud over the amputation of his own legs.

What? Yeah. Neil Hopper apparently cut off his own legs. And then, yeah, I'm not even kidding you. Neil Hopper lied about how he lost his legs. And as it turned out, apparently he cut them off himself. He said he lost them to sepsis. And he tried to defraud his insurance company.

Brighten up your timely news consumption with a Dana Show podcast, where every update comes with a little dash of Not So Serious. On YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's clear this sunfresh at 31st in Prospect is struggling. This is the first section people see when they come in. There's barely any produce. A lot of the coolers and shelves around the store look the same way. Empty.

So shoppers have been asking us. If the store isn't closing, then where is all the food? A rotten smell comes through the door, and anywhere you turn, you'll see products that need to be restocked. No hot food or deli. I'll watch people walk in and walk out. The grocery store has received financial assistance from the city, but has been unable to keep those shelves stocked in an area that in the past has often been referred to as a food desert.

Around here, a good thing don't last too long. And it would impact a lot of people And a lot of families The city owns the Linwood shopping center A nonprofit operates the grocery store What does his shirt say? I need to go back and have a freeze frame On that fellow shirt

Juan, if you'd be so kind The man's shirt who said From the gutta to the butter What does that shirt mean? You I don't know, what is that? Steve was the one to tell the Steve, what's his shirt say?

It's like, Steve was like, you guys need to watching his shirt. We ran the clip. We always discussed was clip to run and I was like, just pay attention to this guy's shirt from the gutta to the butt. From the gutta to the butter. It's like started from the bottom now we're here. You're in the gutta, now you got the butt. Right. I kept thinking that there was going to be something. I was like, oh, oh, I think I see

butt. And I just was like, man, this is going to be one of them stories where we got, it's going to be something inappropriate. I'm just saying, like, that's the shirt. I mean, you know, they ask you in advance if you want to be on camera, you know, when they show up and do this stuff. I mean, good for him. I mean, if he made something of himself, but you know, I'm just, at least if you're going to wear a shirt like that, don't cover the bottom with your hands. Because then we're going to be all doing this.

Like, wait, what is this short say? What does that say? Because it almost looks inappropriate. And you're on like, you're on TV, man. And it's a story that's going to go national because of what they're talking about. I really want to know what the bottom. Kane, look at you find. Not that I care.

I don't need people going on it on. It's actually lyrics from Old Good. mob from 1998 back in the late 90s. Got a butter. All right, there you go. Interesting. All right, so welcome back to the show. That's how, and that, by the way, was how, I mean, of course you are, Lorraine found the shirt.

She did? Yeah, she did. She literally found it already a minute ago. She's a robot. She's like, wait, here's the shirt right here. I got it. For purchase, if you want to. So that's what the shirt says, from the gutta to the butter.

You make the choice. You make the choice. Good for him. There you go. That's hysterical. All right. So this was, what city? This is in Kansas City.

Hold on. I'm ordering a shirt. Are you serious? What? You're ordering the shirt right now. This was in Kansas City. All those store shelves were bare. Can I get a shot of the store shelves real quick?

City funded grocery store. It's a city funded grocery store. And I have never seen, I have never seen a, That's a store that's like open. I have never seen, I have never seen shelves like that. That's crazy. That's, look at that. There's nothing in the middle.

There's nothing in the in caps. There's nothing. There's no fruit. There's no onions. There's no nothing. There's nothing on them shelves. And it's a city, what is it? The sun fresh.

And they're saying it's in decline. Well, you think it's in decline? It's already failed. It wouldn't even open that long. honestly. So this sun-fresh market, they're still going there, but I don't even know what you can, I don't even know what's in the cumquot?

The bottom. This is one of Mom Donnie's desires for New York. Well, I'm getting there. Oh, sorry. I'm getting there. They have not stocked vegetables or eggs in two weeks. Empty coolers. And they said, everyone said it smells rotten when you walk in.

Ooh. and apparently they say it goes through ups and downs so like within a 30 day period they'll get stuff in and then it just they don't have anything anymore and it's ugh that's what happens when you have a city run grocery store

who would have thought that would have happened and you know what's crazy is Kane said this is literally what Mam Danny wants socialized grocery store that's what you get with it it's like the DMV of the It's the post office of the grocery store

It's the it's what it is By the way Our mail It takes if we send something to like cane If I send something from here to St. Louis It takes a month to get there I know I know

One of my kids that had a birthday this spring Just got their birthday card a couple weeks ago Not kidding So this is like the USPS Of the grocery stores Wow They said it smells like rotting corpses in there Oh, how would you know what that smells like?

But also, ew! Wow. Oh, that's so bad. This is what they're going to have in New York City. This is what they're going to have in New York City. Well, the city runs it. So if the city runs it and it's entirely, you know, they don't have to be dependent upon,

they don't have to ensure good customer service or anything like that because they don't have to meet a specific standard. There's no demand for that standard. Totally shocked. It's already failed. when do they get more food in? I was trying to find that on social media. It doesn't look like they're going to get anything.

I mean, food desert. We need food deserts. Or maybe you just, I don't know, need to have an environment that grocery stores that already operate on tiny margins can actually operate in. It's not the government's fault. I love these people that, like it's in downtown St. Louis. Let me just talk about downtown St. Louis. And I don't want to hear no smack from nobody. my husband worked and he did a lot of historic renovation in St. Louis and built a studio.

He got blacklisted in his industry by a bunch of jealous drug addicts who ended up. They were all Marxists. But they ended up in St. Louis, a beautiful city. Like St. Louis is known as Brick City. I mean, a beautiful architecture that German wire cut brick, which is so valuable. and St. Louis made tons of it, exported it around the world. It's incredibly valuable. People wanted, they want to buy it. We lived in downtown St. Louis for a number of years because of work, homeschooled our kids. And I never understood the disconnect that people had. They all bitched and moaned

about not having like a supermarket, supermarket downtown. You remember this, Kane. Like the closest supermarket when I lived downtown in St. Louis was I would have to go to like a, near the Bevo Mill area. I'd have to go down what I can't remember what highway that is. The schnucks. Yeah, on 9th Street, that is schnucks there. And then the one you're talking about is another schnucks down. But the one, but the, but it was a tiny almost like wine and cheese super.

It wasn't like a full on supermarket. It's where you would go. If you were having some wine and cheese, let's maybe make some chakouterie. And let's get some hors d'oeuvres. Let's do that. That's the kind of store it was. There was one in Soolard that had a lot of stuff that they've closed. And I used to go there and get some things.

is a tiny little market. But people complain. Well, you know why? Because supermarkets already operate on such small margins. St. Louis had an earnings tax. They had all kinds of taxes, all kinds of fees,

crazy structures that you had to, you know, weave yourself through in order to even operate a business in the area. And then, you know, the property taxes, everything else,

they made it so inhospitable. And I just couldn't get over the disconnect from the people that would joyously go and vote for the individuals that put up all these barriers. to creating your wonderful supermarket in the middle of the city. And then they would bitch about,

we can't believe these people that said they were going to do all the stupid status stuff when they were campaigning and we voted for them or doing all this stupid status stuff. It's like, I voted for the leopards eating faces party. And I can't believe that these leopards broke into my house and they ate my face in my kitchen. Like they are shocked about this. It's like, well, what did you think was going to happen?

Right? You voted for this. You created this environment. It's not a food desert. You are just a moron that votes for moron. policies and moronic status lawmakers. That's what you do. Good night. So that's, you know, I, it just blows the mind with all of this. They can't, stores can't stay open. They're not there just to be, be charitable. It is a business. People work there. There are people that work to bring it,

all of these things to you. I don't know. It's something else. So can we just have a quick convo? about why Pedro Pascal is in every single film right now? I'm tired of him. Tired of it. Tired of it. He did what is he in Fantastic for, which I'm not going to go see. Because that's, I like that least out of all the superhero stuff. I'm so tired of the superhero movies.

There's nothing in theaters right now that would persuade me to go see it. It just, there's, what else is, what I don't know, every movie is a Pedro Pascal movie. I saw this video online where it's like, do you want to go see a Pedro? Pascal movie, a Pedro Pascal movie, or Pedro Pascal movie. He's in like three movies. Can we talk about 22 real quick? Audio Sunday 22. Fans are really confused. Pedro Pascal is on a press tour. His married pregnant co-star Vanessa Kirby. She's lovely. She looks like a lovely lady. She's very pretty. What behavior is this? This is weird. Watch this. This is so weird. These are gorgeous. I think this is my favorite image so far.

I just our hands. Yeah. As long as you don't have to see. As long as you don't have to see. you don't have to see my face. Terrible confession to make everyone in front of Gordon. Why are they so easy? Some of the best men in the world, so they don't count. Why are they always so hansy? That's so weird. Like they're, what is up with that?

And why does he come off like an infant that needs to be mothered? Right? Am I the old, am I reading too much into that? No, he has admitted as such that he's like, you know, codependent. Matter of fact, I know I saved this somewhere. Let me see if I can find it. What do you mean?

He's admitted that he's codependent? Yeah, Juan, this is it here. I don't know if you have a chance to drop this. I'm going to drop this in right here. So he needs to act like a freak on his press tour? That's exactly what he admits in this clip. I'm like, so he understands where his insecurities are. And he's, I guess, just being open and honest about it.

And these people that are with him, I guess, on these movie tours are willing to accommodate his, you know, emotional illness. Let's listen to what he has to say here. That says, you can't believe you alone that long. You can't believe me alone that long. Come on. Very codependent, very codependent. Just like I'm very codependent on film. He's like a dude, I can't stand.

I'm already, like, judging his vibe. I'm using my discernment. And he's a guy that I could, I would not get along with. I can tell that immediately. I don't, he needs to be mommy and he's, I don't know. I just think that's all weird. That's all weird. Not only is he all over the theaters.

I don't like him because of what he did to Gina Carano and how he was real silent about all of that because he has a brother who's trans. And then he like said something pretty nasty about people who were questioning like women's women, women's sports, et cetera. He just seems like nasty. and he's so eager to kiss the backside of whatever Hollywood executive will give him his next role. He comes across as like a desperate fame whoreth.

That's what he seems like. Yeah, I noticed that. And he's very touchy, hansy-feely. I would punch him in his face. I just put in Slack this video of when, I guess it was Willem Defoe, was getting his Hollywood star of fame here. Love Willem Defoe.

And he actually, Pedro Pascal touches Willem Defoe's wife on the chin, like lovingly. And then Willem DeFoe like scolds him for this. I want to watch this. So here's Willem Defoe standing up. Pedro Pascal too. Pedro Pascal's wearing clown pants. He touches it.

Oh, yeah, I see it. That's, Willem Defoe immediately gets it. I don't like that. I don't like people who are handsy like that. I'm not, I've come across some of those people. And like, you'll see them and they'll try to, they'll give you a hug. And then they want to like hug you a little longer. And I'm like, you know, I'm being civil, but I'm also giving you a warning sign because

you're going to get kicked in the Franken beans. I just don't like that. I don't like that stuff. It's weird. It's weird to me. And she's married. It's weird. Is that, I mean, I'm not trying to read too much into it, but also, like, when you display it out there on a publicity tour, you invite that. Just be a little bit more self-aware. I just can't stand him also. I really don't like him. If we were in school, I bully him, I think. I don't like him. I don't know. He just seems to, hmm, he's a pick-me girl.

It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man. Oh, boy. So a couple of different stories here.

First up, oh, by the way, the Chuckie Cheese dude that we told you about, well, the guy addresses Chuckie Cheese. You know how they arrested the Chuckie Cheese Mouse? Anyway, so he was arrested for credit card fraud. Apparently, a lot of it. So I found another story. Actually, it was just filed. I mean, literally, it was filed like 10 minutes ago.

He got arrested for credit card fraud. So remember, we were like, oh, he's got these felonies that he was arrested for, and they never actually said what they were, which made me think he's got bodies in basements. No, it's credit card fraud. So I needed to update you with that. Florida man drove to a rival insurance agency and threw Molotov cocktails at it. Yeah. Wow.

He drove his Toyota over to the Univista agency in Lake Wales, Florida, attacked it and threw Molotov cocktails because the rival agency moved into close to the competition. Are you serious? That's how you... What year do you think this is, my dude? He, yeah, he threw a ton of Molotov cocktails in it. They tracked him down because, guess what? He was caught on surveillance footage.

Dood do, do, do. And he did it and then went to work. And they went right to his work and arrested him. After they checked his car's registration, It belonged to a local lab testing company. And he worked there. And yeah, so they found him at work. Great job, guy.

You're so smart. You're so smart. Let's see. Oh, I don't want to read. Okay, I don't like iguanas. I mean, they're pests, but also they have feelings too. Taste like chicken. Florida mayor was arrested after he, he didn't just kill an iguana.

He tortured it to death. He allowed his dog to chase it, and then he brutally killed it. So he's facing a half dozen charges on this. Sorry, that's the auto thing. He's, oh my gosh, shut up. He's facing a half dozen charges because he tortured it. It's a $5,000 bond. So he let his dog chase it.

And then he picked it up by its tail and then started slamming it against a rock and then a sidewalk and all kinds of stuff. And everybody, he did this in front of witnesses. So yeah, you can't do stuff like that. That's just you're a psycho. Stop it. Just quit. A couple of other ones. apparently everybody left their baby in a bar or a baby in the car while they went to a bar. A

Florida couple was arrested. They left their baby alone in a running car while they went to go drink at a bar. Flaker County. Oh my gosh, you know how hot it was? How hot it is outside? How humid it is outside there? They were arrested, felony child neglect without great bodily harm. And they apparently he went and checked out. The dad went and checked once on the baby in the vehicle before going back inside and drinking. and they just said it was an infant. They didn't say the age. The baby's okay. And then a teen mother was arrested because she left her baby inside a hot car

so she could go watch a smurf. 18-year-old woman in Florida. The child was flushed and crying. It was 107 degrees in there. They rescued the baby. The mom went to jail. Good night. Stick with us.

Third hour on the way. Well, Obama has immunity. We learned that when the Supreme Court said presidents have immunity for official acts. So anyone who says that Barack Obama is going to be prosecuted needs to go back and read that opinion. I don't always agree with Trey Gowdy, and I was actually kind of mad at him because he sort of brushed, you know, that whole Hunter Biden line on his 44-703 thing just kind of under the rug. But he's right here.

Trump has presidential immunity, and that was something that the Supreme Court found for him, and everybody kind of remembers that case. That is also applicable to Barack Obama. I mean, that's just, that's the way it is. So that's why I say, I don't think he's never going to be prosecuted. He's, there's never going to be anything that happens with that. And, you know, the people I was reading this editorial over at CNN, and it's really bad, actually. And it was saying, well, the biggest problem is the sheer lack of evidence of any wrongdoing by Obama and other former officials. Are you kidding me?

Hillary Clinton and the DNC literally paid a fine for this. because their laundering of Opo violated federal election law. What are you talking about? Like, I feel like the person who wrote this editorial that's leading the narrative on this over at CNN is Barack Obama. And with Barack Obama, I mean, you, that's what the investigation is for. You would have, I mean, you have to be able to investigate and determine, okay, well, did you greenlight this? How do you not know what's happening with your own FISA court? don't believe that. Nobody believes that. And he oversaw it. There's no way that all of this stuff

is happening without his knowledge. We can talk about this all day long. There's just no way that it's not happening without his knowledge. It's just not. So, but the presidential immunity issue is a significant detail. And that's something that I think that that's going to be the roadblock for that. I'm not the only person who thinks that, you know, there are people on the right that think this that are, as much as they don't want to, as much as they dislike it, but, but, you're not the only person, still, that's just the way it is. I also, first off, welcome back, Dana Lash with you. Top of this third hour. The chats at Rumble, Channel 347 is the stream of the radio program on direct TV. I want to go back to this headline that I did not get. Oh, here it is. New York Post.

Check this out. Biden sells his memoir for millions of dollars less than the Obama's millions of less than Bill Clinton. Even less than him. What? It's with Hachette. My first book was with Hachette. It was about $10 million. Now, I know to us, we're like, what?

That's a lot of money. Michelle Obama. Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, their memoirs, they went for $60 million in 2017. Oh, Kane, right? Kane, look. Kane made the faces that somebody makes when they step on a Lego barefoot.

Because I know what $60 million is in 2025. That was in 2017, $60 million. That was what the Obamas did. The Obamas did that. Yeah, $60 million. And I think Bill Clinton, now this is 2004, do this math cane. In 2004, Penguin Random House, they paid Bill Clinton. for his memoir, 15 million.

15 million. And earlier at an event this month, Biden was asked about this, and he was quoted as saying that he's, quote, working my tail off to write his memoir. So it's going to be ghost written by the auto pen. You know the auto pins writing this memoir. So his agent sold,

Hachet, the rights for the book. they also repped him for his 2017 memoir. Wait, how many memoirs do you write? I thought you just get one memoir and then you're done. Why do we have like, oh, here's my memoir. Here's another memoir.

Like, how many memoirs do you need? I don't get it. So, Barack Obama just did the one and he and his wife. I think it was a twinkie package deal. They had $60 million. So Biden has hinted that his memoir is going to cover his four years as president.

Hmm. So, I don't know. I, they said that Biden's health, though, that people are wondering whether or not, because the prostate cancer, they said that he had aggressive form of prostate cancer. And it appears hormone sensitive, which allows for effective management, although

people have been speculating as to whether or not that it's going to impact the timeline of the memoirs release. So how are you only covering the first, you're only, you're just four years of your presidency. If you're doing a memoir, you're only doing four years of your presidency. You're not going to cover the stuff that you did as VP or even before then, you know, you're not going to get into how you went around the country and told everybody that the, that your wife was killed by a drunk driver who sped through a stop sign when in fact she was the one who failed to

yield and that guy was totally sober and she ran into him. I mean, I think wouldn't you be interested in reading, you know, correction of the record on that? Just saying. Yeah. I, I, I, I don't even know, I don't think people on the left would read the Biden memoir. I don't even think the Bidens would read it. I'm sure there's a chapter on Clarence Thomas in there, right? There's probably two chapters on there. Yeah, he gets the last laugh. That's actually what it should be.

Just do Clarence Thomas memoirs. The last laugh, Clarence Thomas. No, Biden hasn't written anything. He's going to have this, it'll be ghostwritten. Most of these guys do have a ghost written, meaning that the publisher hires someone to write it. There are a lot of people on both sides of the aisle that do this pretty regularly. And they're usually able to come out with books almost every year because it's a lot to write a book, even if you do it regularly.

He, I don't think, I think his previous, his previous stuff I know was ghost written. This is going to be auto pen. You know it. I wouldn't, would you read it? I wouldn't read it. No. It's just no. I lived it.

Why would I want to relive it? I don't even think Hunter Biden's performance. well did it. He had one? I guess that answers. Yeah, remember? That's when he came out and he admitted that he was high as a kite on cocaine when he bought his gun. Oh, that's right.

I guess that answers our question. And that's why everybody, I mean, that's why everyone said you committed a crime because he literally said I committed a crime. Well, he didn't say it like that. But he was, he, the exact same time that he in his own book so that he bought a gun is also the exact same time in his own book that he said he was snorting cocaine like it was going, like it was going to go extinct. that he couldn't hoover it up enough. That's what it was. That's what it was like. So that's why people were questioning the legality of his purchase.

He was the one who told on himself. He's not the smartest, is he? Goodness. So he's, how sad is that? That's so sad. And the Barack Obama's memoir outperformed Clinton's and George W. Bush's. Well, almost. I think Clinton's was 3.5 million. George W. Bush's was 4 million. Barack Obama's was 3.3 million. So W had, you know, and I think a lot of it covered the 9-11 era. A lot of people wanted to read about that. How sad is that, though? You're Joe Biden and you get the low, out of all of the presidents, you get the lowest deal. The lowest deal. You just know when your book sold the, you know, you get the least amount of cash for your book.

Hmm, pretty interesting, tell you. A couple of other things also to discuss. We were talking a little bit earlier, the passing of Hulk Hogan, and then you had Mangione, and then you had, who else was I think? You know, oh my gosh, Ozzy, and then you had Connie Francis. Kane, everybody is confused. We need to really, like, nail down the threes. Okay. You had Michael Madsen.

Right. And I think there were two other people associated with that that made that a three. And I think Connie Francis was one of them. Yeah. Right. And Malcolm Jamal Warner. Well, no, I'm saying you have Malcolm Jamal Warner, Ozzie. Theo Huxable.

No, Theo Huxel was Malcolm Jamal Warner. I think. Ozzie and Huxel. So that's four right there. Regardless, we're in a new group of threes. Yeah. So it was Connie Francis, Malcolm Jamal Warner, that rounded out the last three.

Then this three is... Well, who was the third one for that? Michael Madsen? Yes. Okay. And then Ozzy, Osbourne, Hulk Hogan, and George Coimans. Okay. So that's another three that we've knocked out.

So no one else can die right now. Less than two weeks, by the way, we did all this. And now, Mangillon is the start of this new three. Oh, boy. So two more got to go. Two more. Yeah, I know. That's not my rule.

It's the rule of the universe. It's my grandmother's role. Sounds heartless when you say it out loud like that. I need to actually task my mom with keeping track of all this stuff because she was the one who was, you know. So, all right. So Lorraine says Tom, I don't know who this is, an OG Star Wars guy and old actor. I don't think he counts. Oh, yeah.

Remember I brought that up and you didn't let me count? It doesn't count. Is that supposed to count? Connie Francis. That's why we- Malcolm Jamal Warner, Ozzie, Hulk, George Kuhman, Chuck Mazzden. Okay, so she's right. two more. So who's next?

Right. So Chuck Mangio needs one, and now we've got two more to finish this three out. Jeez. So yeah. Who's on the death pole, man? Mm, man. I don't know. Nobody else from that generation. It needs to be someone who's like 150. Every year. How does Keith Richards stay in the death pool but never, ever, ever, ever dies? I don't know. I just think that Armageddon will probably be kicked off when Keith Richards goes. I just feel like when he goes, that's the domino.

you know, because he's, he's deathproof pretty much, right? I mean, that man's been through everything. He's pretty much death. I think he's pickled himself is why. He's pickled. He's a living pickled person. So, you know, that might make some sense. I don't know who, now here's what's funny. Now, everyone's like, no, one more to go, two more to go. What cracks me up? And I know they're not doing it to be mean at all whatsoever. And it's just purely innocent speculation. But Everybody's throwing these names off. Like, oh, so-and-so looks like they're a little weak. Don't know about this one.

This one may be kicking off, you know, like, so-and-so had to go to the hospital. Looks like it's that person. Oh, my gosh. There is a list. Oh, my gosh. Is there really? And so Bruce Willis happens to be at the top of this list.

No. I'm not, I didn't make the list. Don't. Take it back. Take it back. I don't know what to do. Take it back. I didn't make it.

Hurry up before it. I can't take it back what I didn't make. I take back whatever I did. Okay. I don't know what... You have to say what you just said backwards. I'm not sure how to do that. Number two on that list is Harvey Weinstein.

Yeah, I'm okay with him. Like, why not him, you know? Number three on the list is Donald Trump. Why? That's so stupid. I know. He's healthy. He's got circulatory issues because he's 79 years old.

Number four on the list is a favorite of ours. Wendy Williams. I like Wendy Williams. And then Mitch McConnell rounds out top five. Yeah, no Bruce, no Wendy. Hands off. Fate. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

So apparently they spotted the largest tagged Great White Shark in the Atlantic, 50 miles off the coast of Nantucket. It's called the contender. 13 feet, nine inches long. Well, it's the ocean. So there's going to be a big shark in it. And they, white sharks, great white sharks, split their time between the waters down south.

And obviously, in the summer they come to New England and they go down south. So it's called contender. It was pinged off the Georgia, Florida border in January. Now it's 50 miles off the coast of Antuck. And so just remember when you're going into the ocean. Whose house is it? It's a shark's house. It's right.

Shark's house. They said, don't worry. yes, the Michigan Lake turned blood red, but don't worry. It's totally fine. Yeah. The Department of Natural Resources for Michigan says that Lake Angeline, they had a surge of sediment that turned a traditionally clean lake into a reservoir red, into a reservoir of red. I don't think it looks red. It just looks brown. It looks murky brown. That's all. Why do people, Kane, that does not look red. That looks murky brown. I think, are people colorblind around Lake Eugeline?

Looks like the Mississippi. Yeah, it looks like the Mississippi. Exactly. We're not like, oh, my word, the Mississippi don't turn red. Oh, my word. Oh, L-AWD loud. No, we don't do that. It's just murky brown.

That's all it is. That's not even red. It's dirt that's in the lake. Calm down. It's going to be okay. Apparently that was a big thing. I did not know that. But it's just dirt in the lake.

That's, you know, I like, corn sweat yeah is adding humidity to high temperatures across the late across the state is that like meat sweats like when you eat too much meat and you get meat sweats no it's a thing corn sweat i don't know what

it's a it's corn sweating and in the air it makes humidity the official name for the process is called evapotranspiration that was almost perfect right it's when water evaporates from Plants like corn and soybeans stand the reproductive stage and combines with other water molecules in the air.

More moisture in the air means things outside feel mugger than usual. So it's adding to the humidity. Okay, that makes sense. Reminds me I need to shade my tomatoes. I'm fighting the Texas sun now. The giant Tesla diner movie screen was put up in front of apartment balconies in Hollywood. Oh, I think it's funny, though. I'm not even sad because it's, I don't know.

We'll talk about this more coming up. Stick with us. Not able to catch all three hours of the Dana Show?

Inging that it's all bad, but by charting a strategy from beginning to end on how we get through this moment. And we will.

For God's sakes, people, the Detroit Lions are going to win the national championship and the Super Bowl, and they were in the toilet for years. So. Okay, so that's Alyssa Slotkin. And she was talking about football.

There is no national it's the Super Bowl. I mean, if the Detroit Lions played in college football, they'd be up for the national championship. We did not just find somebody that actually knows less

about football than did we? I think we have. Wow. I think we have. Wow. Because I was number one at that and I really enjoyed that. Damn it. Because you have the college championship and then you have the super, can you say it? Wait, can we say it? Yeah, it's not Super Bowl season. So you can't, you can't only, you can't say Uper, say, Olbe, during Uper Say Old Bay season, right? Right. At least that's how I'm That is so stupid. They literally tell you you can't say that on air when you're talking about it. That's true.

They do say that. Yeah. They're... I don't think we can market and sell products saying you. I think we can just say it regularly. I don't know. I just remember affiliates going, don't say it. I dare you to say it, Steve.

Yeah, try it, Steve. Go ahead. We don't bring you on air during Super Bowl season. And you can say Super Bowl, Super Bowl, and see what happened. Well, like, if we had a Dana Show merch, we couldn't make it like Super Bowl-Thame Dana Show merch. No, I don't think we can talk. You have to say the big game.

They always sent us out. They always sent us out emails and they gave us suggestions, all these other stupid things to say in lieu of Super Bowl. I just say superb owl. Superb owl, like what we do in the shadows. Right. Yeah. So the NFL, they apparently, they are so strict and litigious that the only way that you can actually say Super Bowl. on air when during Super Bowl season is if you are like part of if you're a broadcaster or a company

that's like part of the official network that's carrying it. Whoops. Anybody else they can't. You just did it like 10 times. I think it's during Super Bowl season though. That's what you said. That's what I said. Because they want to avoid any confusion.

That doesn't mean it's true. They literally, the NFL has a history of sending C&D cease and business letters to people who use it without permission. So that's why you have to say the big game. I mean, if we had like a game that we were going to do on the show to encourage more listeners or to get more people involved in the show and we called it our Super Bowl of whatever, I can see why they would have an issue with that. I get it. Yeah. That makes sense.

And even, yeah, like you got to have like the NFL sanctioned. So that's why they say, like there literally is advertising guidelines. Like they send out advertising guidelines for it. And they, they don't want any confusion among sponsors. And they can't, you can't say, so this is newsworthy,

don't sue us. You can't, so you can't say like Super Sunday game day back to football first and goal. Those are all protected trademarks. First and goal? Yeah. They're all protected trademarks.

So that's why everybody says the big game. Do you see all the stuff that we had to deal with in radio? Like all this stuff. We can't play music during the streaming in the streaming portion because you have to have special licensing for that and it's super expensive

and then yeah so you can't say we're going to say superb owl and just have, like that season we'll just have that right, we'll just use that. Anyway, long story short, how does she not know that?

Because she's like from Michigan that's like a big football state. How do you not know that stuff? She's cringe, super cringe. That's, oh, that was bad. Very bad to say. but her point that she was trying to make actually I don't even know what she was talking about that sound bite

because she was, what was she discussing the Epstein stuff earlier, et cetera, et cetera. Yeah, I don't. Man, that's. I think it's about how Democrats were performing lately, like how in the toilet their polling is, everything else. And she's like, well, they'll pull it out,

just like the Detroit Lions. Yeah, yeah, no, that's not going to happen. Let's see here. a couple of other things. I just lost this. I saw this come across and I wanted to make sure I got it. So apparently let me pull this up because this is like

I thought that I, so the Ninth Circuit has just overturned the California's ammunition background check regime. That's huge. Definitely huge. So they, because it was unprecedented.

You had to have background checks to get ammunition and all this. other stuff in California. And they apparently, the state admitted that they denied over 10% of applicants that tried like, you know, following the law. And they weren't even able to purchase ammunition because they were wrongfully denied. And they had data that they had to force the state to disclose that showed of the over 7,000 people, actually it was 7,342 that were wrongly rejected in just the month of January alone, only 63% managed to successfully purchase ammunition by that summer.

And the other ones, they kept being wrongly denied and they would have to obtain ammo through illegal in California means. And every time that, you know, you have to, every time you undergo a background check, you have to pay to do it. And so they kept increasing and kept increasing and kept increasing and kept increasing the fees. I mean, that's like a syntax for your natural rights. That's pretty crazy. So that, you know, when you look at some of this stuff and when the courts actually get a chance to genuinely adjudicate some of these laws, they never really go well for the gun controllers.

That never made any sense to have background checks like that for ammunition. That's just this just assonine. So that's pretty significant. They could do an en banc review. that's in the Ninth Circuit. So the Ninth Circuit made that determination. But it was a three-judge panel. It was a favorable panel.

One of the judges, though, was noted by Second Amendment Foundation as being kind of hostile to two-A issues prior. But they said that, you know, the state cannot conflate, you know, the course of conduct with the burden that's being placed on the conduct. And so this is going to be interesting. to see how what precedent this establishes and how this affects other things. Yeah, because

background checks for ammunition is assonine. You know the other thing that they're trying to bring back up and litigate. So special section for Texas, our special session, excuse me, for Texas. And they're dealing with a number of things, but not property taxes. Hey, guess what they're focusing on, though, Kame? What? Oh, man, you got, you got, you got, uh, Dan Patrick out there, tipper gorn 2.0. They're focusing on hemp. Geez. I've talked about this before, and I don't want to relitigate it, but Texas is bringing it up for special session. And I've, I always think that this is so lame to do because it's been legal,

and it's tightly regulated. It's not about smoking marijuana. And for the record, I am not a quote unquote pothead and I don't consume any of the stuff. I just am an actual patriot that likes consistency. I don't like the government and I like consistency from my government. government. And it's been illegal. There haven't been the issue. I mean, you have more alcohol-related fatalities hand over fist than anything else, particularly with youth. And, of course, opioid epidemic. But this idea that, I don't know why Dan Patrick decided to make all these, like, insane claims about, like, THC and all this other stuff. People keep talking about, you know, synthetics and that. And there's a lot of people who know just enough about this issue to get, I think, to sound almost informed on.

it and I'm not saying that to be mean, but good heavens. It's like impossible to have conversations with anyone about it because they, people are nasty. Even on the right, people assume that they, they start acting like the left. If you disagree with them, they view it as a personal attack. Someone got mad at me because I said, well, this isn't about smoking joints in the street. This is strictly about consumables. And then they got mad and tried to make fun of my radio sponsors. I don't know. Like, maybe they needed to go get their testosterone. shot for the day, I don't know. But the whole point is that it's not about smoking joints in the street. It's about the consumable aspect of THC. And it's in drinks too. This is one of the things that

I started looking into because I didn't realize that how much of it was in drinks. And apparently there are a lot of people, and I've had headlines like this. We talked about this actually in our headline section before. There are people that I don't like drinking anymore, but they'll drink, like one of the THC drinks. And the discussion is that it's very, it's very competitive for the liquor lobby. And the liquor lobby is not a fan of it. Dan Patrick is very well acquainted with the liquor lobby. And I'll remind everyone that during COVID lockdown, liquor stores were considered essential. Churches were only considered essential after there was a large fight about it, but they had a lot of restrictions on them and not the same ones that liquor stores had.

Just saying. So just keep that, that's the power of the liquor lobby. I really feel like it's down to that because it's already strictly regulated. It's not, it's illegal for minors to have them. They're not marketed to kids. And everything is tightly controlled and tightly regulated already. And I see a lot of people out there going, well, kids still get them. Well, kids get alcohol also.

kids are out there driving vehicles and getting in trouble without having driver's licenses. Kids are out there vaping. Kids are always going to do things and do things before they are of legal age as they always have done throughout humanity. But that is not an argument to go and outright ban everything because some people's kids do it. That is the gateway drug to gun control arguments. That's like saying, well, someone did something bad with their guns, so all guns need to be banned. Somebody allowed their kid to access like THC Edibles, so now everything needs to be banned. Well, I don't believe everybody, I don't believe the protestations about it's for the kids unless the people start banning all alcohol and everything else. That's never going to happen.

Instead of bitching about why the government can't raise your kids better, raise them yourself better. I know a lot of people don't want to be indicted about bad parenting, but I'm going to tell you something. You know, my kids may be smart asses and God love them, but I've never had an issue with my kids doing anything like that because we have a zero tolerance policy in our house. We make that very clear. And that's not just applicable to my kids, any kid that walks in my house. I got a zero tolerance policy. And we laid it out early on what our expectations were for our kids. I'm not like some, you know, gold medal parent, I'm just an average everyday parent. We used to have a lot of those. Now it's like we got a lot of people whose measure of patriotism extends only so far as they're

willing to put into parenting. You realize what a leftist argument it is. Raise your own damn kids and demanding that the government make up for what you aren't willing to do. And if that offends you, then maybe you're one of the people that ought to be offended by it. I just, I just don't understand this. The government is not responsible. for raising your kids and the stuff that Dan Patrick goes out there and says he's it's insane and again it's strictly regulated strictly regulated and it's already illegal for minors to have them so we see where we're going here I mean goodness I did not do like anything like that when I was a guy I still haven't I mean I had you know drink socially but I also had a mom that lay down the lawn

I knew what the expectations were. And it's weird because the people that are very upset with my position on this, they're always the ones that, well, you know, we know kids whose parents, you know, let them do this in the house, blah, blah, blah, okay, you're proving my point. They're not parenting. So why does the government, why are you opening the door and allowing the government to come in and do what you effectively will not do? That's the argument that's being made.

people need to realize this is just a variable. It's not even about THC, just like it's never about firearms. It's always about control. And I'll tell you something. There is a regulatory industry that is made out of the regulations of this where you have people that come in and they see, oh, wow, they're going to set this up to where it's only medicinal and they've got to get these licenses. Well, let's be the whole structure for that.

And they'll come in and they work at their legislation. So they end up being the be all end all monopoly of it in a state because they get to control the licensing and the regulation and the whole structure for it. That happens. So you haven't done anything except you are essentially funding a legalized cartel. That's what you're doing. And by the way, one other quick note. I had someone who was saying, well, you know, this is just cartel products. That's an actually ignorant statement.

It's not. This is stuff that's, you know, from what I understand, it's U.S. and there's a lot of veteran-owned businesses that are involved in this. And I think that this is why we don't need that input from those types of people. I don't mind if people disagree on stuff, but dear heavens, do it based on fact. Otherwise, it's literally the same process as arguing with gun controllers. People who don't know what they're talking about, but they just know this looks shooty and bad and they want it banned. Realize that these are variables and they can be changed out at will.

It's the formula that you're falling into. We have a lot more on the way. And my mind's not going to be changed on it. So there you go. Don't send me hate mail. I'll read it on air for money.
