Starting point is 00:00:00 Congressman Bishop didn't have the parole file, and Senator Britt didn't have the parole file. And now we do have the parole file. And now we all know that the reason he was paroled into this country was because lack of detention capacity, which as you and I both know, is not a valid reason under the statute. And now that we know that for sure, this is right out of the parole file. Here it is. Subject was paroled due to detention capacity at the Central Processing Center in El Paso, Texas. now suddenly you don't want to talk about it. This is extraordinary. It's also a pattern with you.
Starting point is 00:00:37 So, let me just try one more time. Have you read the parole file? Senator, I'm going to give the same answer, and let me say it. Well, which one? Are you going to give me the answer you gave to Senator Britt? Are you going to give the answer you gave to Congressman Bishop, or the answer you gave to Senator Paul? Or do you want to try a fourth one?
Starting point is 00:00:52 Senator, I will not speak to the particulars of the case given the pending criminal prosecution. Yeah, well, you certainly, of course you don't want to, because it is an absolutely damning indictment of your policies. Let's just review Jose Barrera and how Ibarra, rather, and how he came to be here. On September the 8th, 2022, he was encountered by United States Border Patrol in El Paso, Texas, and was paroled into the United States due to lack of detention capacity. A provision, a proviso, a rule that is not permitted under the statute. You and I both know you know this.
Starting point is 00:01:24 You knew it when you were talking to Congressman Bishop. You knew it when you were testifying to Senator Britt and you know it today. You just never wanted to cop to it because the statute doesn't permit it. And so you lied to Congressman Bishop and you lied to Senator Britt. And now you are hiding behind the ongoing prosecution excuse because it's the last one left to you. Because you testified falsely under oath. You know, I kind of feel like Kermit drinking tea right now listening to this. I mean, I'm just, you know, I'm just sitting over here going,
Starting point is 00:01:55 Except it's the tacto squash. It's not actually tea. That was Senator Josh Hawley because the Mayorkas thing, golly, we got some stuff to cover because the Senate. Yeah, they kind of had a little bit, a little bitty bit of a meltdown yesterday. And that's, you know, they, because this, this, how I put it? Impeachment. Yeah, they've rejected the impeachment articles. They've rejected it. they've dismissed it without trial. That is the top. That's the top story today. Dismissed without trial. And I mean, we've got a lot of audio of some of these senators losing there.
Starting point is 00:02:42 Mitch McConnell was unhappy and he really doesn't express unhappiness quite often. This was audio sound by 12. Listen to this. The Senate will be in order with senators. Please take their conversations to the cloak. Madam President, we've said a very unfortunate precedent here. This means that the Senate can ignore, in effect, the House's impeachment. It doesn't make any difference whether our friends on the other side thought he should have been impeached or not. He was. And by doing what we just did, we have in effect, ignored the directions of the House which were to have a trial. out. No evidence, no procedure. This is a day that's not a proud day in the history of the Senate.
Starting point is 00:03:37 Yeah. Well, you know, the good news is that they can just, if the Republicans, you know, capture the Senate, which I don't have a lot of optimism about right now, then what? Then they can just dismiss any, they can dismiss it too, right? That's how it goes, right? They can just dismiss it too. Dems de rules, guys. So it's been, I love how the word scuttled has been thrown around. It's been scuttled this impeachment, the impeachment articles. And that was officially Senator Cortez Mastow who did it. He was facing these, Ameriress was facing these articles of impeachment based on the fact that he just literally doesn't do his job. I mean, can I just say, is that actually a point of. of contention with anybody? The dude doesn't do his job. Can you look at the border and say,
Starting point is 00:04:29 yeah, it looks like a good job there, Mayorkas? Well done, sir. Here's a coupon. Why don't you hit you up a foot ruckers? That didn't even exist anymore, right? No, they don't. I don't know. Isn't it like a buffet burger? I hate buffets. I get real weird about it. That's a long story. First off, welcome to the show, though. Before we get further, Dan Alash with you. Top of this first hour. You can listen coast to coast. You can stream. the radio program terrestrially. We're number one in the afternoon, 12 to 3, number one. And you can also check us out the simulcast of the radio program. You can check out all my good hair days. And I wore brown today. That's my version of color. That's not black. I did that for you.
Starting point is 00:05:15 So you didn't think I owned the same black shirt. I own five of them. Same shirt. I literally buy in bulk. Bought it off Amazon. I'm not even going to lie and act like I'm fancy. Anyway, this shirt came off Amazon too. So, anyway, long story, story, it's like $12. I'm not kidding you. Anyway, long story short, welcome. You can also find us on X, Rumble, everywhere. Find us on it.
Starting point is 00:05:37 Find us everywhere. And substack, chapter and verse, because there's a lot of good stuff that comes out there. And I know you're going to want to follow along. So that clash. So it's kind of done. I mean, you know, but they, you can not do your job, though, it's okay. I mean, we see Biden. We see the administration. It's not like it's a, you know,
Starting point is 00:05:56 you don't have to do your job and it's all right. It's completely all right. So now in the house, now that this is happening, he's Johnson's decided he's going to be moving to foreign aid. I mean, I was compiling the headlines for today and I was looking. I'm going to scroll down here. Now he's facing another threat to oust him his speaker because of this foreign aid. That's, this is all coming up Friday now. And this is not going to go well for him if he pushes this and it's something that he shouldn't do. I liked his idea of taking everything and separating it, but that still didn't satisfy. Look, there's no point.
Starting point is 00:06:37 You're going to get somebody even worse than Johnson if you switch him out. Hell, you might get Hakeem Jeffries if you switch him out. I think Republicans in the House need to stop this nonsense. It's not going to happen for you. You all don't win enough seats to be doing this stuff. Now, wait a minute, for some of the voters go, that's right, you don't win enough seats. You all vote for them. Somebody all listening voted for some of these weak people that are in the house.
Starting point is 00:07:00 So I'm just saying, ain't nobody not culpable here. You got to win more seats. They can't be doing this because they're not winning enough seats. They're literally not winning enough seats to do this. This is silly that they're actually still considering switching this out. I mean, there is literally nobody. If you thought they didn't have a plan B before Kevin, McCarthy, buckle up because they sure as hell don't have a plan B this time. And it even seems like
Starting point is 00:07:25 half-hearted because at least with McCarthy, there was personal animus there. There was Matt Gates who was mad because of the ethics investigation. So that doesn't make sense to me. Then none of that makes sense. But now this $95 billion aid package, it's the triple package for both for all Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. There's four billion to replenish the Iron Dome defense system. I will say, we do benefit from that tech because it is a lot of shared tech and we do benefit from that. So there is a benefit. And also it's our literal only ally in the Middle East. And I'm really sure that you don't want to see Iran get a toll hold right. Just take over our only ally there in the Middle East. So there's with Ukraine though, I can't tell you a single damn thing we get. At least, you know, at the bare minimum,
Starting point is 00:08:11 at least we get some tech sharing and we are, you know, there's an ally there. I get the geopolitical importance of it. But as it pertains to Ukraine, I mean, I don't know. What? What do we get out of that? Wheat? That's just Europe's wheat, isn't it? Everyone's like, it's the breadbasket of the world. We grow our own wheat. Would we get out of it or what is our government in the shadows get out of it?
Starting point is 00:08:30 Oh, yeah. Yeah, nothing. Yes, I thought. As I thought. They're going to have to have Democrats pass those. There's no way the state package passes with just Republican votes. They're absolutely going to have to have Democrats to help pass it. And you know what that means?
Starting point is 00:08:46 Concessions. In order to get those Democrats to agree. to pass this, Johnson's going to have to grant some concessions. And that's going to further tick off Republicans, not just in the House, but also in the Senate, because they're mad in the Senate already. And now you have this that's been tabled. It's just all a giant mess. It's a giant mess. And I need Republicans are a little, I also don't want them to overreact in the response to this. Some people are saying that Marjorie Taylor Green's doing that. She, some amendments yesterday, including, and this one actually don't, you know, I know some people
Starting point is 00:09:26 are trying to jump on her for it. She was saying that any member of Congress who votes to send aid to Ukraine, and this is from her site, congressional site, must enlist. You have to be conscripted to go and fight for Ukraine if you're going to vote for it. It's literally what it says. Any member of Congress who votes in favor of this act, she'll be required to conscript in the Ukrainian military and eligible lawmakers can have their choice of service branch. Now, some people are like, oh, I thought this was a joke. I thought this was... Actually, I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:09:56 I think it kind of showcases some, a very good point here. So Johnson, you know, he's trying to separate this. I understand the opposition to support for consistently, constantly sending hundreds of billions of dollars over to Ukraine. The fourth thing that he was going to bring, apparently they did add some border language to this, is this border language and border. and sanctions
Starting point is 00:10:19 proposal. That's the fourth thing because you have as I said yesterday the three bills and then you have the fourth item that they're wanting to bring up. And I understand some people are saying this is just her bomb throwing. Yeah, you know what? And she's making a good point with us. I am simultaneously
Starting point is 00:10:36 a somewhat partially reformed hellraiser and also a total cynic who hates drama and I don't like the political theater that con ink and wannabee con ink have been engaged in dragging the rest of us into. But I think that this highlights a very good point. And that's ultimately what it is. I mean, you do believe in absurdum at absurdum. I mean, using absurdity to highlight absurdity. I mean, there's a point in this. And I think that's
Starting point is 00:11:03 what her point is. And maybe perhaps it goes over some of the more serious people's heads. I'm not quite sure. But you can't seriously sit here and tell me that another proposal for hundreds of billions of dollars, more billions of dollars to Ukraine is a serious proposal and expect that to be treated with the seriousness you think it deserves. It's absolutely absurd and it should be ridiculed with a proposal like this. I have no objections to this. None at all. None at all. So that's, and you know, honestly, she still has support of her district. So clearly it's what her district wants her to do. Republicans are still split with regards to this. And all this is coming to a head to Mario. They're still split with regards to the state to Ukraine. And Ukraine hasn't been transparent
Starting point is 00:11:41 on how any a single dime has been spent. And honestly, I don't feel prevailed upon to send any more money over to Ukraine without them being honest and transparent about how those money is being spent. I feel zero obligation. It's not my fault that they're being opaque about this. It's not my fault that there are accusations of spending it on pensions and everything else. How, pray tell, in the ever-loving hell, is it the fault of the American taxpayer who's already overtaxed,
Starting point is 00:12:07 living in an era of Biden inflation, worried about affording the basicness necessities, worried about paying their bills, keeping a roof over their head, worried about AI and everything else, the instability at the border plus beyond. How is it their fault that their overtaxation and the money stolen from them and their concern for it? How is it their fault for demanding answers as to how those dollars are spent? It's Ukraine's fault for not being transparent. So pox's on them.

Well, this is breaking news. This literally just came out within the past hour. Dickie Betts, super influential singer, songwriter, guitarist for Allman Brothers has passed away at the age of 80. It was literally just announced on his Instagram page.
Starting point is 00:14:05 Dickie Betts official. They say, quote, it's with profound sadness and heavy hearts that the Betts family announced the peaceful passing of Forrest Richard Dickie Betts at the age of 80 years old. They said that he passed away earlier today at his home in Osprey, Florida, surrounded by family. And the family's asking for prayers and respect for their privacy. And they said more information will be forthcoming in the appropriate time. I don't need to even tell you about Dickie Betts and the Allman Brothers. Midnight Riders is one of my absolute favorite all-time top five songs that's ever been written. I've seen you, Allman Brothers Live.
Starting point is 00:14:35 Dickie Betts is amazing. Holy cow. I mean, he's just one of those dudes that you're just like he can go on. You know what I mean? Like him, Keith Richards, like these other cats, they're just like powered by some like secret nuclear energy. And you don't know what it is. Man, Dickie Betts, age 80. Rest in peace, man.
Starting point is 00:14:53 Good, heavens. Also, good, I don't know how you go out for that. Henry Cavill or Cavill. Is it Caveel? I think it's Coveill. Yeah, his, it's an AI fake. A lot of people have been wanting him to be James Bond, but they have this other guy who I think is going to be a good James Bond as James Bond. But Henry Covell, they said there was this fake Bond trailer that was online and it got almost like 3 million views.
Starting point is 00:15:17 I think at this point. The last, when they were writing about it, it was like 2.5. Now it's like 3 million. And it was a fake trailer, a Bond 26 trailer, and they were using him as the new Bond. It's not him. but I think it kind of shows you a lot of people really wanted him as the James Bond as the new character, him or Idris Elba.
Starting point is 00:15:34 But here's the problem. Producers were saying that Idris Elba and Henry Cavill were too old to commit for like a decade of making James Bond films because apparently they got seven more in the can. And they need a longer guy who can commit and age with it. So apparently that was the big,
Starting point is 00:15:52 not that they didn't like either of those guys, but that was the big thing. That whiny, wingey ginger Prince Harry finally cut ties with Britain. Nobody cares. I think he ought to be deported. Exiled Prince lists the United States as his primary residence and people are worried about his deportation over past drug use. I think he should be deported because he's a whiny welfare nepo baby. I can't stand him and his wife who cannot dress herself and doesn't know how to use an iron or tailor off the rack stuff to actually fit her proportions. And who the hell wears heels on the pitch? Stop it. I'm sorry,
Starting point is 00:16:25 I'm done. American teens are getting arrested. for smuggling illegal immigrants. Because it's good money. It's good money for them. Stick with us. We got a lot more on the way. A lot of stuff to hit today. As we move, our partners that help bring you free radio, it's our friends over at Hillsdale College.

And they have a lot of free resources so you don't have to actually go to their campus in Michigan, you can actually go to Dana4, F-O-R-Hillsdale.com and take advantage of all these free things that they offer, including their free digest called Imprimus and has deep dives on a ton of different issues from awesome thought leaders, and they send it out to you for free. They send it out to almost like seven million homes in businesses. And so in the latest edition of Imprimus, for instance, the American Medical Association, they've declared that medicine is just rank with
Starting point is 00:17:23 white supremacy. And so as a result, they got to lower the standards on all medical school entrance tests. It's an actual literal thing. They're downplaying academic excellence in medical school so that they can satisfy DEI admissions. And this is also happening in law and other fields, but you know, you're talking about AMA. These people can operate on your guts, guys. So you kind of want the best and brightest, right? Well, that's not where everything is heading.

Check out the best highlights from every show and Dana's absurd truth podcast posted daily from the Dana show. Back when D-Day occurred and on Sunday the next day, My mother's four brothers all went down on the recruiting station and joined the military. Every one of them, volunteer. And my uncle, they called him Ambrosey, they call him Bozney. My uncle Bozzi was a hell of an athlete. They'd tell me when he was a kid.
Starting point is 00:18:41 And he became an Army Air Corps before the Air Force came on. He flew those single-engine planes as reconnaissance over war zones. He got shot down in New Guinea. and they never found the body because there used to be there were a lot of cannibals for real in that part of New Guinea and then my son volunteered to go to Iraq for year and he came back with stage four gliblastoma and they gave like many of you risked your lives
Starting point is 00:19:13 and you know people who gave their lives of the country for heroes but one of the things that I was doing that today I was reminded of what my opponents said in Paris not too long ago they asked him to go visit American grave sites he said no he wouldn't do it because they were all suckers and losers that's not what you said you absolutely I'm not making that up staff was listening acknowledged it today suckers and losers and then deserved you can't even talk what the hell is this oh my gosh stop somebody give him another shot give him a hit off a hunter
Starting point is 00:19:55 Coke rock. That's Biden. Welcome back to the program. Bottom of this hour. Dana Lash with you. He's telling steelworkers in Pennsylvania, you know, because he's ruining their economy. He's telling him this. I love, let me just share this is, this is the, this is the telegraphs British publication. This is their headline. Cannibals ate my uncle, claims Joe Biden. The U.S. president's theory of second lieutenant Ambrose Finnegan's death contradicted by official wool records because it's BS. It's been debunked already. This isn't the
Starting point is 00:20:29 first time that he shared this. That's literally not at all would happen. Oh my gosh. They said that the plane went down but not near a cannibal island and
Starting point is 00:20:46 they said that the aircraft knows it at the water, etc. But he wasn't eaten by cannibals and there's nothing ever to suggest that he ever was. I mean, the, good heavens, it's the, there's the leftist news sites that are debunking this. I mean, what in the world? But he still shares it. And he says that in, and this story, he keeps saying it anyway, that's, that Trump wouldn't go and visit the graves of whatever and, you know, and he, that's also a lie that's also been debunked millions of times, but nobody apparently listens to it. That story came from Jeffrey Goldberg in the Atlantic and there was
Starting point is 00:21:27 zero corroboration of it. It came out, this headline, by the way, that Juan is showing this side by side here. You all see this headline? This is the funniest stuff. Are you kidding me? Cannables ate my uncle. It's a serious headline, Dana. They ate my uncle. They opened up a pop-up on the beach. And they called it Shea Biden. They ate my uncle Finnegan. Ambrose Finnegan. What a name, by the way.
Starting point is 00:21:59 Don't make fun of a potential truth. It's not a potential truth. It's an always lie. Good heavens. They didn't say that. Or he never said that. Trump never said that either. He never said that about that.
Starting point is 00:22:13 It literally never happened. He just ran with it. That's also a story that was debunked by, I think what, Snopes, Washington Post. I'm just like scrolling through my they, they said it. They knew it was a lie too when they said it and they still did it. They still, and they keep saying it over and over again. It's ridiculous. And it never ever happened. It's been debunk. Trump never said that. And Uncle Bozy, they, that never happened either. And he told this, I love how a friend of mine wrote
Starting point is 00:22:49 He told this story on his way From his Puerto Rican hometown of Scranton Scranton, Pennsylvania You know, because Joe Biden also Apparently Joe Biden is more Puerto Rican than Juan I mean, going by Joe Biden A hard time believing it Well, I mean, then why are you
Starting point is 00:23:06 Why do you hate his stutter? Cain? I mean, you know, you either believe that the man grew up in Scranton, Puerto Rico Or you don't. Not really. Is there a Scranton, Puerto Rico? because I don't think there is. I mean, who knows?
Starting point is 00:23:19 With his stutter, it could be anything. That's it. And, yeah, he, he, the, the suckers and losers thing was an entirely made-up lie that's never been corroborated. And, yeah, can we, well, didn't we do this audio somebody too? No, he did it again. This is him doing it again. What?
Starting point is 00:23:39 He did it like three or four times. Not in the same thing. No, yeah, absolutely. Different venues, different locations. Same story. Okay, go ahead and roll this. Potential truth. Ambrose Finnegan, I mean, called him Uncle Bozzy.
Starting point is 00:23:53 Oh, my gosh. He was shot down. He was an Army Air Corps before there was an Air Force. He flew a single-engine plane, reconnaissance flights over New Guinea. He had volunteered because someone couldn't make it. Got shot down in an area where there were a lot of cannibals in the beginning at the time. They never recovered.
Starting point is 00:24:16 body, but the government went back when I went down there and they checked in parts of the plane and the light. And what I was thinking about when I was standing there was when Trump refused to go up to the memorial for veterans in Paris. And he said there were a bunch of suckers and losers. He never said that. That never happened again. So this was another, this was another whole he's on the uh tarmac i was trying to think of the tarmac yeah that's so let me so again that came from a just losers article in uh the atlantic and it's been repeated by even former white house chief of staff john kelly and or no he he was the one who corrected it's been it was repeated by
Starting point is 00:25:10 uh obama biden's former white house chief of staff uh john kelly went out and he was setting the record straight. And again, even Wapow and others have debunk this. And he's like, that literally, none of this stuff has ever been said. I mean, everybody, even the people who hate him, who hate Trump, have denied that that was ever said. I can't believe we're talking about this again. This is so stupid. I mean, it was a, it was a, there's a lot of evidence that goes, that, that completely destroys Goldberg's, Jeffrey Goldberg's claim. And what I were, I was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, I mean, it was a, it was a, it was a, I mean, I remember when this happened because he was in, wasn't it like a G. Wasn't this the same trip where he later met up with the European leaders, including
Starting point is 00:25:55 Angela Merkel, and that's when they were arguing about how much Germany needs to be giving towards their percentage of GDP for NATO requirements. And they had like, you know, he was sitting at the death with his arms crossed. I think it was all from that visit because earlier when he was in France, he was expected to go north to go to a French cemetery, which apparently was his idea. And they had horrible weather in France. And I even remember stories about like flooding, et cetera. And he was livid because he wanted to go to a specific World War I cemetery. And they said that they couldn't because the weather was so bad. And the roads because it was, you know, kind of from what I understand the cemetery was more
Starting point is 00:26:35 in a rural part of France. The roads were bad. He had to keep to a schedule. They needed to get him back because he was supposed to have caught a flight and then go after being in France. And he was going to lay a wreath at this cemetery. And they said, we can't get there. He had suggested going by copter. They're like, we definitely can't go there in this weather in helicopter. It's not going to happen. And apparently that was secret service telling him this.
Starting point is 00:27:03 They're like, it's not going to happen. It's too dangerous to go. It was super heavy rain. It lightning the whole nine yards. and they're like, it's entirely unsuitable for you to do this. And he was livid that he couldn't go to that. There was never anything like suckers and losers and all of that stuff. And in fact, there was like a little known, and I can't find it now because it's been memory hold.
Starting point is 00:27:23 I had it saved in my bookmark system. But there was a lefty who had said, because a little bit about him arguing with security about taking a chopper to the cemetery and like a, you know, a horrible thunderstorm. and he apparently was arguing with them and someone on the left was making fun of him for arguing with his own security on that. So there's like a lot of stuff out there that completely debunks this. He never said the losers and whatever thing.
Starting point is 00:27:49 He never said that. That is so stupid. Like why in the world? Jeffrey Goldberg literally could not even produce anything. Nothing. Nothing. I'm pulling this up. And there were email receipts
Starting point is 00:28:05 that were produced even show like detailing all of this that we're describing this exact visit and we're saying that you know Trump had wanted to do this and he couldn't get there and he was livid and and he you know apparently said some choice words to people who told him who told him no. Even John Bolton who hates him to death was like this didn't happen.
Starting point is 00:28:27 It did not. And John Bolton wrote about it in his memoir and they were mad and he had even said that Trump was mad because of the weather. Secret Service refused to Apparently they Trump said that he He was mad about He was mad about the rain
Starting point is 00:28:44 Et cetera etc John Bolton I don't know The whole thing is so stupid The whole I can't even believe we're talking about this This is so damn dumb I remember this is like almost six years ago Five and a half years ago And the media was making it out
Starting point is 00:28:55 Like Trump made the decision because of the rain And then everybody's response was You know the left can't meme anyway Bolton was still making fun of Trump And saying that oh he probably wouldn't have wanted to go to get his hair wet anyway and all this other stuff. And that's mostly what it became. It's like Trump just was scared of the rain.
Starting point is 00:29:10 But they literally were like, we can't fly a chopper and Secret Service told you no. I mean, if anybody loves a photo op, it's Donald Trump. And can you imagine a photo op of Donald Trump being in a World War I cemetery, Lain or wreath in the pouring rain? That's a photo op.
Starting point is 00:29:27 That man lives for photo ops. He loves his hair and he's vain as all hell. But that man loves one thing more than those two items that I just mentioned. And those are photo ops. He will go and do that. And so none of this stuff makes sense. None of it's true.
Starting point is 00:29:43 But to Biden's point, you know, my son Bo was eaten by cannibals. He was eaten by cannibals too. I'm surprised he didn't say that. I love how it's just so vague. Yeah, he crashed where there were a lot of cannibals. And the Pentagon records are like, the Pentagon said his plane wasn't shot down. Because Biden said, yeah, his plane was shot down. His plane wasn't shut down.
Starting point is 00:30:03 that didn't even happen and his uncle wasn't a pilot his uncle was a passenger in the plane oh my gosh and he said the government back when I was the government went back when I was down there and they checked and they found parts of the plane and all this stuff it literally
Starting point is 00:30:22 was not that's so I'm pretty sure that it it wasn't even shot down oh no I just said that it wasn't Pentagon record show it wasn't shot down at all it's unreal like every part of the story is completely false Like every part.
Starting point is 00:30:35 My son, Bo, was shot down. And eaten by cannibals. Cannibal actually shot him down and then ate him. Really? Yes. Yes, barbaric cannibals shot down my son Boe. And World War I. How did your son, because he did.
Starting point is 00:30:48 Don't make fun of my stutter. I mean, we're at that level. Jeez, that's so stupid. Did you guys see the list of snacks real quick that you're not supposed to eat anymore? Thousands of everyday snacks are facing being banned in multiple states because their ingredients apparently caused to cancel. dancers, flaming hot Cheetos, lucky charms, Gatorade. A lot of these additives were already
Starting point is 00:31:11 outlawed in Europe. Gatorade is, they have like, there are different colors over in Europe. Like the yellow isn't a bright yellow because they don't put like this. I can't remember the dye, that dye color. They can't, that's barred. They can't put it in there. So it's like a real weird, like light yellow, weird color. I don't know. But apparently different states are considering bands. California banned Skittles. Well, they called it a Skittles Band. They have four additives that they do not allow. Pennsylvania and Illinois, New York have similar measures. They've been passing these, 13 additives.
Starting point is 00:31:41 New Jersey and Missouri. They said the companies have to change their recipes. And some of them include, oh my gosh, like the stuff in tricks, Lucky Charms, Fruit Loops, include yellow six, which is linked to adrenal tumors. Yellow 5 and yellow six in Doritos, the Kent Steakhouse dressing. Uh, what else? A couple of, uh, another, I can't see that chip. Uh, that has yellow five and yellow six. That can cause DNA mutations and white blood cells within three hours. Yeah. Orios contain blue number one that caused kidney tumors, apparently.
Starting point is 00:32:20 Uh, the Gatorade's, including the mountain dues, y'all, linked to cancer and hyperactivity. The food dies. Red 40 that's in the Betty Crocker mixes all the cake mixes and, uh, icing. That's, uh, they have to carry warning labels because of red number 40. Tostitos, they're a little jarred queso. Cancer cells grow faster when exposed to yellow number five. And red 40 benz causes like everything. And that's in Swedish fish, Eminem, Sour Patch Kids, Hot Tamales, Nurties, nerds, skittles, jello packages, pop tarts, jolly ranchers. Oh, jolly ranchers.
Starting point is 00:32:57 Yeah, Jolly Ranchers. Oh, because of the food die. All because of the food die. Dang. Yeah.

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. And I made it clear to Israelis, don't move on Haifa.
Starting point is 00:34:57 it's just not, I mean, anyway, I just look what we did recently when Israel was a... Biden tells Israel, don't move on yourself, because Haifa's the third largest city in Israel. There's like 230-something thousand people that live in the city. It's north of Tel Aviv. It's a third largest city.
Starting point is 00:35:23 It's a stutter. I mean, you know, you know, you need to not move on Tel Aviv. It's like saying this is the same thing Yeah don't move on Jerusalem He is And why he's like squinting And then he's doing the karate hands It's not a gaff at this point
Starting point is 00:35:48 He's got issues Got issues Lorraine says Because Lorraine's so mad about the boozy thing Uncle Boosy That story has got me just I can't even Man I'm shooketh
Starting point is 00:36:00 He wasn't shot down He was a passenger And Lorraine's like He wasn't even near New, he wasn't even near Papa New Guinea. He was north. And it was on D-Day. D-Day's on, what, a Tuesday? I wouldn't even on D-Day. So at some point, it's not a stutter anymore. He did, he's done this like multiple times. Serial fabulism is what it is. He's done this multiple times. So, I mean, how do you sit there if you, how do you sit there and you listen to this guy and you're like,
Starting point is 00:36:30 wait, you can't, you don't want that Israelis move on themselves. That doesn't even make any, make any sense. But I think their family, Lerian noted that remnants of cerebral hemorrhage was apparently contributing factor of Ambrose Finnegan's demise.

Steel tariffs, are you concerned that when your relationship with Xi Jinping? Your new relationship with him? Why?
Starting point is 00:38:39 Don't jump. Yeah, so he's considering, well, he's announcing tariffs regarding Chinese, you know, certain Chinese products, et cetera, et cetera. And people have been asking, too, about, because Pennsylvania, I mean, higher tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminum, that's what they're pushing for this election, tripling, by the way, the tariffs on Chinese steel products. And people are asking, you know, about, they were asking him about this in Pennsylvania. He's been in Pennsylvania.
Starting point is 00:39:11 He's doing this to try to keep Pennsylvania in play because it's such a bellwether that it really, I mean, it really, really is a, like, major indicator of, you know, how the rest of the states, some of these other states are going to go, the swing, more swing states. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you top of the second hour. I saw this poll. It's a New York Times poll seen a college poll, women voters. And it was taken of 1,059 registered voters. So you got a 3.3 margin of error. And it was taken from April 7th to the 11th. And it shows in this where it comes to women. And it doesn't give any just as women in general. 53% support Joe Biden, 37% support Donald Trump. And I hear some people saying, oh my gosh, this is why we need to repeal the 19th Amendment.
Starting point is 00:40:08 Don't be taking my right to vote away because some broad wants to vote for a desiccated old communist. That's like me saying, I'm going to take your guns away because a criminal misused one of them. Don't be doing that stuff. I don't even like it as a joke. It aggravates me. I don't even like it as a joke, especially when I hear it from people who pay less. less than I do. So I get real, I told you guys, I get real mad around this time of the year.
Starting point is 00:40:34 Because of the IRS, government theft day. So people are like, well, how is this possible? Well, because women have been told for generation after generation that you're under, you're under attack. You're under attack. And Republicans, everything is just about abortion and all this other stuff. And I think that feminism has done such a disservice to women that you've got women out here believe in this stuff.
Starting point is 00:40:57 they believe it they believe this type of stuff it's um i mean it's been like this since before you had the fake tradcon traditional conservative quote unquote red pill dudes that have been going out there and talking like progressive males which got us started to get us into this problem in the first place was is progressivism specifically progressive males and then you had women react to that and then progressive women decided to exploit it further and wage a full-on matriarchal, epic, generational battle against all men. But, I mean, I mean, I keep here, I see people say, like this one chick, the 19th Amendment needs to be abolished. Women are the worst voting block in America. You pay less tax than I do, be, sit down.
Starting point is 00:41:49 That's like saying, again, I'm going to take your guns away because somebody else use their guns in a bad way. Somebody else used their guns. I'm actually on following this person because it's so stupid. I don't even like it as a joke. It aggravates me. I think it's stupid. Why does that make me so mad? I get so aggravated over this stuff.
Starting point is 00:42:06 I see people out there every day saying dumber stuff than I do. What? Because you're still being taxed. Like the whole concept of not allowing women to vote but you're still paying taxes, that's kind of like taxation without representation. Yeah. Do I want to put that person on blast? Does that mean?
Starting point is 00:42:25 I mean, they're advocating for taxation without representation. I literally get very. violently mad when it concerns my money. You know, I am an American, and that's kind of... You have an American DNA? I have American DNA. I mean, I want to throw more than tea in the harbor. Aggressive American DNA?
Starting point is 00:42:42 When I see people who say stuff like this, I'm like, it's a good thing that I can't reach through the screen. I like that Mike Tyson quote. Hang on, let me Google this. Hang on. What? Everyone's got a plan. I'm telling you.
Starting point is 00:42:56 Yeah, Mike Tyson. And he's talking... What did he say? Oh, he goes, social media made y'all way too comfortable with disrespecting people, not getting punched into faith for it. That's what he said. By the way, why does that, what is that, uh, that, is it Jake Paul? One of those dumb Paul brothers.
Starting point is 00:43:12 Why does he want to die? I think it's the money. He wants to die for the money because he's fine. Mike Tyson may be old, but have you seen his training videos? Like, he breathes and punches stuff. That's what he does. Just saying. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:29 Fethle media made it, y'all, way too comfortable with disrespecting people, not getting punched in the faith for it. That's what he said. That's a great Mike Tyson quotes. One of my favorites. I mean, I'm not lineizing the guy. I'm just saying. I think it falls in line with that. Everyone's got a plan until they, you know. Yeah, everybody's got a plan until they get punched in the face.
Starting point is 00:43:44 That's right. Yeah, when I see these people, the 19th Amendment needs to be abolished. Women are the worst voting block in America. I could buy and sell you for what I paid in tax. And you're going to sit here on demand that I not have representation because some progressive of bitches are going for Biden over Trump, I will swing you around by your extensions until you are bald. Do not.
Starting point is 00:44:11 Why does that make me so mad? I could do a whole three hours on that. Ah, stop it. Maybe I won't put that particular chick on blast, but I think we're going to be saying something about this because I'm so dumb. I'm done with this stuff. I'm done with it. Yeah, can I just for a minute?
Starting point is 00:44:27 Indulge me. The Jake Paul, Mike Tyson, it's in Dallas. When is it? In July? And in July? Yeah. and it's in Dallas. I don't want to see that blonde.
Starting point is 00:44:38 What is he? Was he on TikTok? Oh, yeah, it was everywhere. Vine. I don't follow him. But I think he's going to get beat to death. I mean, you got to last the first, what, three, four rounds. And then after that, maybe you got a chance.
Starting point is 00:44:54 Maybe you got a chance. I don't think he'll die because I think that's why the ref's in there. Kind of slow that process down a little bit. He's going to have shaken baby syndrome I feel like he's going to get hurt And I think too I'm actually paying attention To how the betting is going on this
Starting point is 00:45:10 Are you? Yeah Because I think there's a lot of hype And there could be some upset potential here I've been in boxing I've been enjoying boxing for a long time And I watch MMA I get into some fighters Not everybody I only like certain fights
Starting point is 00:45:24 With certain fighters But I remember I went in We went in with our friends And we were watching the Mike Tyson fight when he bit off the Vanderholyfield's ear. I was in high school. And we're like, we got so mad
Starting point is 00:45:36 because it was so expensive for high school kids to do that, by the way. We all pulled our money together. We bought that pay-per-view, and I'll be damn it was over in like a hot minute. I was so mad. Oh, I was so mad. But he trains, they had videos online
Starting point is 00:45:51 showing the difference between Jake Paul training and Mike Tyson training. It's like watching somebody, like prepare for the great British baking show cooking on an easy bake oven or somebody in like a professional kitchen. It was like watching the difference between that. It was really stunning. I mean, you remember, didn't Floyd Mayweather? Was it Jake Paula fought Floyd Mayweather? And Mayweather rocked him. And I swear he held him up.
Starting point is 00:46:21 He's holding him up. I'm just saying, this boy wants to die. So, you know, sometimes you got to give the people what they want. I'm just saying. Just, oh my. gosh. Anyway, a whole point in that was this poll, right? This survey looking at women going for Biden more than Trump. It's always, here's the issue. I think with some chicks, it's always going to be the problem of the apple. Even still today, it's the problem of the apple. It's exactly what it is. By the way, men out there, this is why you don't ask us what we want to eat. Okay, my husband's like, what would you like to eat tonight? What are we going to eat tonight?
Starting point is 00:47:10 And I'm like, I don't know. What do you want to eat? Well, I'm asking you. You asked us once before. Look what happened. Okay? We got kicked out of the Garden of Eden and we figured out we were naked and we had to go through a lot of stuff to get here. So don't ask us what we want to eat.
Starting point is 00:47:30 But I think that's the problem is this. You're just going to have some women out there that are just, they're going to be dumb and goofy like this. So I don't know. I mean, I also kind of question the structure of the poll. Now, that being said, I want to point out, it's literally 1,059 registered voters. Registered voters. That's, I don't know where they came from. I would imagine that women in New York are vastly different, say, than women in Florida or women in Texas, right? Women in California probably, especially like around the L.A. area, very different from women in Oklahoma. So I think that's. that's part of it as well. But I just can't believe that it's, here we are in 2024 and Democrats still got you voting by body part. Still, to this day, got you voting by body part. And I also kind of look at it like this.
Starting point is 00:48:27 And this might be somewhat controversial to say, but I really don't care. Believe me, I understand the, how do we do this? I understand the idea and the principle. of saying, oh, I just don't think I can vote for that man because he's, you know, he's nasty. I don't like, I don't like he says. What he says, some of the words he says, and he's giving speeches.
Starting point is 00:48:55 And, you know, look, I agree with you. I could, I am of two minds on this. I entirely agree with you. I think that a politician should be virtuous. You should have a virtuous politician. You should have a politician who is better than the people he represents, right? Better than the people who elected him. A virtuous politician, free from big, big offenses. I completely, somebody who completely embodies your values,
Starting point is 00:49:27 I entirely understand that. But I also think that come November, if you go, you cast your vote. And you're, I am, I'm voting my president. I just can't vote for this because his language is nasty. Or I don't like, you know, these principles that he compromised on. And believe me, I've got disagreements with the man. And then we end up losing in November, no one's going to give you a citizenship award. There's no award for most principled voter because elections have changed. And also because voters are forgetting one very big thing. The politicians are a reflection of you. They're a reflection of everyone. This virus of escaping accountability has even been adopted by conservative voters. People who say, oh, we just, I can't, I don't know. I just don't think I can ever vote Trump. No one's asking you what your principles are right now.
Starting point is 00:50:34 This is about tools on the chess board. It's not an endorsement of someone's lifestyle to cast a vote a certain way in November. I'm not going to tell you how to vote, but I am going to make fun of some of the reasoning. These people are tools on the chess board of political life. They're tools on the chess board of advancing your agenda. Does it advance your agenda to be able to have someone who's going to be perhaps more compelled to cut taxes than someone who isn't? That's the big question. If you answer it honestly, then the decision becomes clear.
Starting point is 00:51:13 But there are people out there who won't answer it honestly, and I don't have time for that noise. but politicians are a reflection of the voter they're a reflection of you of me of all of us and so i think that everyone i know everyone wants to baby voters and act like we're go go go with little bay babies and oh don't blame the voter but yeah it's time to blame the voter send better people to dc send more republicans than a plus one majority to the white house or to the house in congress so we can better control the power of the purse send more Republicans to be elected, recruit more virtuous Republicans to be elected. There's no escaping responsibility in this. We either fully embrace our American DNA or we don't.
Starting point is 00:52:00 Or we just sit back and we export it to the political welfare class and let them do all the governing and decision making for us, which a lot of people on the right have done for many years. if you want better politicians, more virtuous politicians, you got to step up your game, a reflection of you. Everyone needs to be more virtuous, to have more virtuous elected officials. We have more on the way. Look, if you haven't switched to Patriot Mobile, if you're one of the people who are like,
Starting point is 00:52:35 I'm not going to use Netflix because I don't want to support the Obamas, but you're using any other phone service but Patriot Mobile, you're doing more to support the Obamas than people who watch Netflix do, like three times. more over that actually because this is the only Christian conservative cell phone service that's out there. I seriously do not know why people don't switch. Hands to sky. I don't get it. I mean, if you are with any other service, you are legit putting money in the pocket of Planned Parenthood. I'm not making this up. You can go to this thing called the internet and you can look it up on
Starting point is 00:53:05 open secrets and it shows you the political action committees of all of these other cell phone services out there and what they fund. I really don't want to have a cell phone service that funds abortion on demand funded by taxpayers or gun control or that cuts me off at the knees, you know, with my own money. This is what you get with Patriot Mobile, though. You don't fund any of that stuff. They're like-minded. But what's even also, I think, maybe even more important, is that the service is just good. It's good service and it's more affordable. So if you don't care about the politics, at least save yourself some money in this trash hellscape Biden economy and maybe switch to Patriot Mobile. They have plans to fit every single budget imaginable. And you can get free
Starting point is 00:53:43 activation using Code Dana, the only time it's not obnoxious to drop a name, and they have a 100% US-based customer service team. It's easy to switch. Dependable nationwide coverage on all three major networks, you're getting the best service without funding the left. So visit PatriotMobil.com slash Dana or call 972 Patriot and use promo code Dana to get free activation. Patriotmobile.com slash Dana 972 Patriot. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick five. It's interesting. Missouri just passed the Missouri House.
Starting point is 00:54:14 Anyway, State House just passed a bill to fund. Students over systems, 82 to 69. Three Democrats voted for it. It already went through the Senate 19 to 10. It now goes to the governor's desk. It's a school choice bill. It goes to the governor's desk to get signed. That's a great news for our home state of Missouri.
Starting point is 00:54:33 Great news, indeed. Also, this sugar cravings, they say, according to a new study, could be caused by loneliness. That's the... Really? I mean, I think... I had a sweet tooth way before I was lonely. Yeah, yeah, that's probably true.
Starting point is 00:54:52 Scotland's going to ditch a key climate change target. Scottish government's going to ditch its flagship target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, 75% by 2030. Ministers, they said, missed the last eight, 12 annual targets. They said that it's unachievable to reach the 75% milestone, So they're just like, ah, blanket.
Starting point is 00:55:11 We're done. Let's see. Apparently, eating junk food and childhood could lead to long-term, irreversible memory issues. Kane says it's not the Vax, guys. Not the Vax. And airline caterers are going on strike affecting travelers on flights. So you don't get, does it affect pretzels and beverages? Does it affect those things?

Starting point is 00:55:47 a member of the furry fandom? Though they've been a furry for over a decade, they have their own opinions. It's crazy that it's escalated to this point where these kids are being so distracting to their peers that their peers want to stage a walkout. So to have, you know, the next generation kind of muddy our name
Starting point is 00:56:05 and not represent it very well, it is kind of disappointing. Strudel believes there should be some limits. Continue doing things you like, continue dressing up, continue making art, but maybe let's keep it outside of school hours. As for the school, Sorensen says they have one main goal. We want every student to feel safe when they come to school, and we want students to get along. In fact, we want adults to get along. I can't even believe I'm having this conversation right now.
Starting point is 00:56:35 First off, welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. So this has to do, is it Nebo? Nebo. How did they say it? The Nebo school district in Utah. And apparently, so there were middle schoolers that walked out on Wednesday because they said that the district was allowing student furries to terrorize other students. And they said that the student furries were biting, scratching, and spraying human repellent. at other students. The heck is human retaliation?
Starting point is 00:57:14 Yeah, I don't even know what that is. Axe body spray? When a student retaliates, apparently they're the one who gets suspended. So, what? This is Utah. They said students claim that the friees
Starting point is 00:57:32 bite them, bark at them, pounce on them without repercussion. And so the students literally staged a walkout. Good. They were tired of it. Good on them. and they said that they're
Starting point is 00:57:44 and this was kind of goofy this response from this is Seth Sorensen the district school district spokesperson now listen to him how he tries to characterize this he's like well they're not like totally furries he didn't say it just like that but he says
Starting point is 00:58:07 that the way that he puts it the group of students being targeted because it sounds like the students that are being bitten and scratched and all that are being targeted. He says that they come to school wearing headbands. Sometimes it may have ears on them. And he's like, I just don't know if they actually think they're furries. He doesn't think that, you know, they think they're furries, et cetera. And that really does not at all sound like what the kids are saying. And considering the history that a lot of these school districts have with the stuff with
Starting point is 00:58:34 students, I'm not, I'm actually going to believe the students over this dude. Because they're getting kicked and scratched and bit, apparently. and so there was literally they had a petition that they created students for humans at school not animals aka furries the fact that had to be created yeah and they said and then the sorensen said that he thinks because they had a message from the school that was sent to families last week and it said this because apparently the school intervened with the students which made all these made it all even worse and they said that apparently they are blaming the parents of the kids who walked out for misinterpreting the school's response saying that we weren't taking, you know, the side we want you to be kind. You know, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, they're the ones getting bit and scratched,
Starting point is 00:59:32 you epic moron. And he said, well, the parents took to social media instead of discussing the issue with the school district. It sounds like they were trying to discuss the issue with the school district, and the school district decided to not listen to you. That's what it sounded like. Parents were apparently pulling their kids from the school. And they go, we hope that rather than parents just reaching out on social media, that they'll actually reach out to the school and have conversations.
Starting point is 00:59:58 It sounds like they did. By the way of this guy's own description that the school was talking with families and then sent a message, and the parents did not like the response that they got. It sounds like they had to go to social media because the Nibo or Nubo school district, wasn't doing what it was supposed to be doing on behalf of these students. That's what it sounds like. You know, sometimes bullying's not a bad thing from being honest. Because a quick way, if I was in school and somebody was dressed as a furry and they were biting and scratching me, I would beat your ass.
Starting point is 01:00:38 That's exactly what would happen. And I wouldn't get in trouble either. My mom would take me to the mall or six flags or something if I had been suspended. There's no way it's going to happen. you will get hit. But I don't know. Like, Kane and I, we always talk. Like, I grew up in Jefferson County, Missouri, proudly.
Starting point is 01:00:55 So, you know, it's just kind of how we did things. Kane knows this. Kane is a North. You were in Northside. Same thing is how they did things. North County. But, yeah, look, if it creates balance, it isn't bullying. Right.
Starting point is 01:01:12 That's literally the lesson here, kids. Good night, everybody. Yeah, good night. Great show. Have a great night, guys. For real, though. I'm just trying to figure out why in the world that, I don't know, I'm just trying to figure out how in the world the students objecting are being portrayed
Starting point is 01:01:31 by the school as the bad guys in this situation. That makes no sense to me. I mean, it does when you consider the state of education lately, but, you know, I digress. I can't, I just can't even, I can't even imagine. It's just wild. But they said that, oh, the parents in the school district, now because this story is going viral. They
Starting point is 01:01:52 I mean they're they're now having to deal with all the fall out of this. Biting, scratching and spraying them with human repellent. I still don't know what human repellent is. So they've been they walked out and
Starting point is 01:02:07 oh oh wait there's one more. There were reports of them using litter boxes as bathrooms. How do you Don't ask because no. Yeah. And there were a lot of kids doing it. A lot of kids.
Starting point is 01:02:26 One girl said, quote, these kids are mentally ill and they're trying to force their illness upon us. They want attention. And they've sprayed some of the kids said that they had febrize. They sprayed febrize in their eyes. And the school has a strict dress code. And yet they're allowed to wear this stuff. I think it's hysterical that they interviewed an adult furry who was like, those kids dressing as furries need to.
Starting point is 01:02:52 knock it off. That's when you know you've gone too far. When like the adult furry comes down is like, knock it off, you brats. That's when you know it's gone way too far. How do we reach the furries? Hire them as a contributor. And our contributor.
Starting point is 01:03:06 What was it? I remember the name of the person that they had that that reporter interviewed. Golly, I can't. I can't deal. Wait, now, wait, there's more. Did you hear this story? Now I'm looking at a picture of this dude.
Starting point is 01:03:21 neck check looks like a dude biological male very quietly joined women's NCAA division volleyball division one volleyball at San Jose University this dude has been participating as a volleyball
Starting point is 01:03:37 on a women's volleyball team and hid his biological sex I'm looking at him you look like a dude looks like a dude there's no way there's no and going by the name of Blair Fleming, he is playing women's Division I volleyball for San Jose
Starting point is 01:03:58 University in the Mountain West Conference. Now, the mother of an imposing player was like, look, I watched my daughter play against this dude, she didn't say this dude via Blair, and then in person, and everyone thought that this dude was a male, that Blair was a male. And she said that he very clearly looked like a male.
Starting point is 01:04:20 on the court. Not just by the way he looked, but also his mannerisms. He jumped higher. He hit harder. Nobody could compete with his athleticism. He had very narrow hips. He had a longer shirt in the front as well. You know why he had a longer shirt on in the front?
Starting point is 01:04:37 Kane. I can guess. That lady's got some balls. True. Stick to the news. He was also, apparently, during the match, the mother noticed that the girls were suffering more injuries and strains than they had, and that when he would hit them with the ball, they were rubbing their arms after
Starting point is 01:04:58 blocking shots from this guy. And they said he was unstoppable. He's a dude. And then they finally figured, they finally, you can't tell me that the coach and the administrators at San Jose State did not know. And she said she watched these other female athletes, including some who were very good, take turns sitting on the sidelines while he was on the court the entire time. He played the whole match he played. And, you know, those who are out there playing, they got an increased chance for injury. And she said, she was saying that her daughter and her teammate stats were not as good anywhere comparable to what they were in the other games because of that.
Starting point is 01:05:41 And apparently he was also a jack wagon. He would stare down and glare at other girls on the court and was incredibly rude and arrogant. And that's according to a number of parents. So he is literally, he's six foot one. His hands are larger, noticeably. He's got more muscles, noticeably. He's a dude. I mean, growing your hair out doesn't hide your wing.
Starting point is 01:06:13 It does not work that way. It doesn't hide the fact that you're a dude. And I think it's ignorant that this school did not tell everybody that this dude was playing on the team. Oh, he hid it. He didn't hid nothing. He hid nothing. they knew he set the school record for most kills in a match
Starting point is 01:06:31 and a single season record of 266 kills I mean he very clearly was raised as a boy he was apparently I mean he's been a boy he's only recently apparently been a girl Division 1 volleyball highest level NCAA
Starting point is 01:06:51 and they get you know full right scholarships all this stuff. And nobody knows if he's gotten a scholarship, but now, I mean, this is just wild. How do you sit here? Don't you think, Ken, that they knew this guy was a dude? He didn't hide it from San Jose.
Starting point is 01:07:06 He didn't hide this from San Jose. There's no doubt about it. They just didn't want to take the public backlash over it. That's the other thing. There's no transparency about any of this from any of these people. No transparency. And how is this not the patriarchy in women's clothing
Starting point is 01:07:22 and women's sports? Oh, it is, completely. And I'm just like, where are all of the, you know, third-wave feminists out there that are, that should be raising cane over this? No offense, cane. But it's just craziness. I also wanted to, where's this that? I also wanted to share for you as well. Do you guys, apparently there's a new buzzword that's dropped.
Starting point is 01:07:47 Yeah, a new micro, a new microaggression buzzword. Ambient gaslighting. Ambient gaslighting. USA Today. Quote, ambient gaslighting is just that. It's around you, percolating in the air. Some examples of where you might sense its subtle presence in targeted marketing, in political news in the workspace.
Starting point is 01:08:24 Ambient gaslighting. That's the new microaggression. Buzzword guys. So who's supposed to be offended by that again? Yeah, I don't know. Are people perpetrating the gaslighting or the people victims of the gaslighting? They say in political news it's quote,
Starting point is 01:08:46 polarized politics have led to seemingly alternate realities that have only accelerated during the pandemic. Convincing opinion-like news programs or unverified social media posts may make you question your beliefs. No, they don't. And this has been going on long before the pandemic. I feel like this person just realized that they're political and that history began the day they realized that.
Starting point is 01:09:12 It's actually a story called Definition Explained ambient gas lighting. This is 1984. It is. It's 1984. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man. So we had the drunk boat guy yesterday. There were three Florida men accused of pepper spraying employees after stealing Chanel purses from Chanel. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 01:09:46 This is crazy. So three Florida dudes found themselves behind bars. They decided to, in broad daylight, to rob a Sacks Fifth Avenue. And when they went into the Sacks Fifth Avenue, they were going to steal a bunch of Chanel bags and then flee the store. 27-year-old, a 32-year-old and a 31-year-old, pepper-sprayed employees who tried to stop them before they fled in a BMW. They said that officials located the getaway car, and they ended up involved in a pursuit, and they did get the suspects and arrest them on charges of armed robbery, aggravated battery, fleeing and alluding. Why do you, you're not going to be, first off, this ain't California. Florida is not California. They will arrest you.
Starting point is 01:10:27 They'll drag you out of the street. They will blank you up, just to quote, less Grossman from Tropic Thunder. They will find you. And they're still investigating, but it seems like it's an open and shut case. But to imagine doing that, going into a sacks and doing that on broad daylight. Good night. This, oh, you remember that mystery object that fell, what they were saying, probably fell from the space station.
Starting point is 01:10:55 NASA determined that this debris, I don't know what this. is something from their flight support equipment. Oh yeah, it's like a battery casing. It's made of, I don't know what that. It weighs 1.6 pounds, 4 inches in height and 1.6 inches in diameter. It's just a piece of space hardware that crashed through this guy's Florida home. And they think that it had to do with when the astronauts were releasing some aging nickel hydride batteries from the ISS using their robotic arm back in March of 21. and that they were replaced with new lithium ion batteries as power upgrades on this orbital outpost.
Starting point is 01:11:34 And they thought that the hardware was supposed to burn up in the Earth's atmosphere when it fell March of this year. But apparently a piece of hardware survived and that's when it fell in a house in Naples. That's the craziest thing ever. Oh, we're sorry it didn't burn up. So, yeah. This Florida man, this is never okay to do. This Florida man, while he's being arrested by police, asks if it's okay. if he cracks open this beer in Port Orange.
Starting point is 01:12:03 Oh, yeah, there's video. We'll share it with you tomorrow. We have a third hour on the way, though, next. Stick with us. Okay. Can we just see the cannibal tab in your book? There's no cannibal tab. What are you talking about?
Starting point is 01:12:18 Is that what you're asking me about? Can you finish it? Yeah. Okay. Look, I'll just, and I think we shared this with some of you, so I'm just going to kind of repeat. Look, you saw the president. He was incredibly proud of his uncle's service in uniform.
Starting point is 01:12:31 You saw him at the War Memorial. It was incredibly emotional and important to him. You saw him respond to all of you when asked about the moment yesterday. And his uncle, who lost his life when the military aircraft, he was on crashed in the Pacific after taking off near New Guinea. The president highlighted his uncle's story, as he made the case for honoring our sacred commitment
Starting point is 01:12:53 to equip those we send to war and to take care of them and their families. when they come home. And as he reiterated, that the last thing American veterans are suckers or losers, and he wanted to make that clear. He wanted to make a story. I mean, look, I don't have anything beyond about what I just laid out, but it was a really proud moment for him. It was incredibly emotional. I think some of your colleagues, as you know, Zeek were there, and they got to witness the president pray at the war memorial, look for his uncle's name, honor him. and I think we can't
Starting point is 01:13:27 we can't forget that moment and we cannot also forget what it means to be a commander-in-chief what it means to lift up our service members what it means to make sure that we respect their support. So this was just like minutes ago, right, that this came out within the hour.
Starting point is 01:13:43 That's KJP, just brand-new audio. Doubling, I can't, first off, I can't believe we're asking about cannibals. Okay, at a press conference, but okay. But doubling down on this whole thing, with regard to Uncle Bozy. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 01:14:03 There you go. Welcome back to the show, guys. Dana Lashier, top of this third hour. Coming up at the bottom of the hour, we're going to talk to Dexter Taylor's attorney on all the latest big O2A case. But I'm telling you something, it's crazy. This, they, I just, I don't understand why they keep,
Starting point is 01:14:23 just say, you know what, he got mixed up at the best. He got mixed up about Uncle Bozzi. Bozy because Uncle Bozy and Lorraine has a piece on this forthcoming over at chapter and verse on substack. Uncle Bozzy was a, he was a passenger. He wasn't a pilot. The Pentagon, Pentagon has records on all of this. They just, it disputes everything. And he wasn't shot down near where cannibal islands are. I guess they're, I assume he's talking about Papua New Guinea, right? Because that's the only island I know where they are eating people. Yeah. No, that's true. I mean, we're not talking about some of the, the Japanese, uh, uh, when they took some of the soldiers hostage or captive. But yeah, it's all they had to do was say,
Starting point is 01:15:06 you know, he's, he got mixed up. He didn't mean he was just confused. He just misremembered or something. But instead, they're so devoted with maintaining it. I'm, I swear there, I feel like I should place a bet. How long do you get? until this story morphs and it becomes my son Boe was shot down by cannibals. How long? My son Bo was shot down by. I get to close your eyes because this is what Biden does lately. My son Bo was shot down by cannibals.
Starting point is 01:15:46 It's not hyperbole. I mean, he's been in tar pits, cannibals probably. He's been in, he's that poor, that man has died. He's died six ways to Sunday. Oh my gosh. True story. True story, yeah. But then he did that.
Starting point is 01:16:04 And then he goes into this another debunked story that was entirely made up by this Atlantic, a guy who writes over at the Atlantic, the stooge over there, entirely made up. Even people who hate Trump are like, okay, stop it. You're making it. We have to defend him now.
Starting point is 01:16:21 Stop it. The people who hate Trump who worked with him who later came out with books, talking about how much they hate him. They were all even at the, they even had to come out and say, you're making it hard for us to get other people to hate him too because you're lying about him. So stop. Don't make it difficult for us. That's how debunked this, all this nonsense is. But hey, look, is it a tactic? Here's the thing. Democrats, not all of them, they're not dumb. They're very manipulative. And they don't care if they have to take a hit and look dumb
Starting point is 01:16:58 if it accomplishes their goal of getting what they want, right? So if you have Biden go out there, everybody's talking about Biden, talking about his uncle, who was not, in fact, eaten by cannibals. but now you have all of these all of these stories and discussion about this instead of all of the others
Starting point is 01:17:28 like the policy stuff that he's doing that's really really detrimental like his for instance and pull this up his new plan a new student loan share the share the debt plan right he's got that
Starting point is 01:17:43 that's all brand new brand new stuff they want to make it to where you're still you're going to have to pay for other people's debts so this is all all to hide the bad economic numbers all of this
Starting point is 01:17:58 so I get it I mean there's a story that came out and pull this up because he made well the second time he actually talked about this it was in Pennsylvania right the first time he mentioned it he was on his way to Pennsylvania right and then we got in Pennsylvania talking to the steel workers he made
Starting point is 01:18:13 this made these remarks about the getting shot getting shot down. Oh my gosh. But apparently he's really struggling with Pennsylvania. They said
Starting point is 01:18:31 this piece is Joe Biden losing Pennsylvania. He's got a three-day swing through the state. And you guys know he grew up, as he said, in Scranton, Puerto Rico, which is that in North or south of
Starting point is 01:18:47 Pennsylvania. I want to say Scranton, Puerto Rico. North South. Yeah, north south. That's right. It's, yeah,
Starting point is 01:18:56 sounds about right. He was speaking to folks about, what is it? He goes, Scranton values or Mar-a-Lago values. That's what he was saying.
Starting point is 01:19:06 Scranton Puerto Rico values. Let's get that right. And he keeps talking, he keeps like making up, this isn't going to be the first. I mean, we got three days of this,
Starting point is 01:19:15 guys. This is day one. Okay, he's going through a three. It's a three-day swing through the state. But that's because voters have been shifting. Pennsylvania's are growing Hispanic population, particularly in the smaller cities. And even though typically in the past, Hispanics have voted predominantly Democrat, that's changed in the past several elections. And it's not a sure demo for Democrats anymore. Democrats haven't been making a lot of overtures towards that demographic other than trying to call them Latinx or Latin. No joke. And so Pennsylvania is changing. Trump won Pennsylvania because of new Republicans. And that's important to remember because that can be a
Starting point is 01:20:00 shifting sands type of win. I mean, remember, elections are determined in the margins. You have your bases that are going to vote for how they vote, but elections are determined. in the margins. And who's in the margins? You get independence. You got, you know, all of that. Moderates. And so they've, Pennsylvania has been shifting quite a bit. He, let's see, Trump won, I mean, barely won Pennsylvania in 2016. He barely won Pennsylvania. He took it by not even three quarter of the, of a percentage point. It was so close. Point. It was so close. And then four years later, Biden beat him only by barely over 1%. Barely over 1%. Barely over 1%. Barely.
Starting point is 01:20:55 And so the, I'm looking at a couple of polls here. And I sent some out to you if you get the radio prep. Let me pull this up. The November, because he's losing Pennsylvania. Politics is Steel Center Stage in Pennsylvania. there's there there there been a couple of ratings changes in some of these other senate seats Senate races and I think that you can use that as a good indication of maybe perhaps upticket as well but in looking at some of the averages RCP is it depends on what polls they they take
Starting point is 01:21:28 in their averages some of the polling some of the averages that RCP has and I think RCP is a great resource but some of the polls that they factor into their into their averages I think are not not every poll's legitimate. Some of them are push polls. Some of them are literally nothing more than firms that are working on behalf of Democrat or Republican campaigns just to get something out there that they can point to and say, oh, here's a concrete number and then run with that as a narrative. So you've got to kind of keep that in mind. Now, that's not every, not, I don't think that that's every average. And I was looking at some of the polling for the Pennsylvania one. So this was, last night, I looked at they had six polls that they averaged.
Starting point is 01:22:08 And I think with the exception of one, well, maybe two, but definitely one, they're pretty even balanced. They're not really, it's not really Republican or Democrat oversampled. And I think it's probably one of the more clearer averages of some of these states that are going to be really close coming into 2024. And so the average has Biden ahead. 0.1%. That's how close it is. That is how close it is. Very, very close.
Starting point is 01:22:37 Very close. And the uptick for Biden, it was weird because Biden and Trump, they both kind of dipped in the polling a little bit in the beginning of March. And then Biden, it was, Biden started March 14th. He came back up. Now they're kind of on the low again. It all goes with the economy. It all goes with, I think that's why he announced this tariffs on China, all this stuff to try to, to try to, that's all part of his, his, his, three-day swing through Pennsylvania, announcing that, going through talking, electioneering.
Starting point is 01:23:14 I think he's got some events that he's having in Pennsylvania because they're worried about that state. They are worried about it. Now, here's the other problem that I am very worried about. These polls are not going to matter if there is no ground game. And I have been warning you about this for how many months? How many months have I been talking about Trump's boots on the ground in these states? He doesn't, Trump doesn't have a lot of field offices. This is a huge problem. I have been talking about this for months. Now finally, some other outlets are starting to go, oh, wait a minute.
Starting point is 01:23:45 This is kind of bad. Newsweek finally noted this. The battleground state campaigning, Trump is so woefully behind Joe Biden. It's sad. Apparently, I don't even know if he has official field offices in every state. Biden has 44 field offices in Wisconsin alone. 44. They have 14 field offices in Pennsylvania.
Starting point is 01:24:18 The campaign, the Biden campaign, has 30 field offices in Michigan. This is huge. How many does Trump have? He doesn't really have any in Wisconsin. They couldn't establish Newsweek and this. they're not the first publication to try this. Newsweek could not establish how many field offices they have in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and some other battleground states. They're still waiting to hear back from the campaign. That right there, if he, if they,
Starting point is 01:24:58 if his campaign doesn't fix that, November's done. That's not an exaggeration. That's how this works. If they do not have organized ground game in these battleground states, you're going to get Biden again in November. that's not a promise that's a garand damn tea what is his campaign doing and now all of the news you would probably miss
Starting point is 01:25:23 it's time for dana's quick five i just can't even believe the story weekend at bernies is real dude uh this woman in brazil it's on video she's wheeling this dead dude all over a Brazilian mall pushes him right into the bank
Starting point is 01:25:40 right through the bank and she tries to withdraw from what I assume is his account because she acts like he's talking to her and then she tries to help him sign his name. She's trying to take out a couple thousand dollars. Irika Desusa and she had this Roberto Braga guy, 68 years old. He's like totally dead as a, dead as a doornail in a wheelchair. And the bank branch became concerned because she was trying to get this dude to sign for this money. And they were like, this is not right. There's literally video of him, like, of her trying to make him sign something. And then she acts like, well, if you're not well, I can take you to the hospital.
Starting point is 01:26:21 If you don't feel like she's talking to him. It is so wrong. Wants get ready to show you. It's creepy. Well, at least they blurred it out. They blurred out his face, but not anything else. And that dude's dead. The dude in the wheelchair, if you're watching the simulcast, is dead.
Starting point is 01:26:36 And this woman in Brazil is literally trying to get him to take money out of his account. She's like using it. Weekend of Bernie style. to rob him essentially. So she was arrested and taken to jail. And, oh my gosh. This is so gross. They were trying to determine the moment of death.
Starting point is 01:26:54 And they said that, you know, they could kind of tell something was not right here. Oh, my gosh. I can't. I can't even. The cops were like, in our entire careers, we've never seen a story like this. There you go.
Starting point is 01:27:07 That really is all you need for headlines today. I don't know how else to talk that. Well, this woman called the cops over a, bad batch of meth. You know, sometimes it happens, guys, sometimes it happens. She, Indiana woman, she's facing a narcotics charge. She called 911 because she had purchased
Starting point is 01:27:22 some meth and it was bad. She had been defrauded. And she told, literally, the police officer, that it was not what it was supposed to be and that it felt different when she, it touched her skin and nostril. What?
Starting point is 01:27:38 We're going to talk about Dexter Taylor's case with his attorney coming up next. Stick with us. Craving a daily dose of intellectual adrenaline look no further than the Dana Show podcast, where curiosity meets courage by following on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you at the bottom of this third hour. And you can listen coast to coast. You can also follow along if you're not listening terrestrially. You can listen to the stream, check the podcast, and also watch us on X, Rumble, YouTube, Facebook, Channel 347 Direct TV.
Starting point is 01:28:10 We are everywhere. We also have been talking about this major case. It's a major Second Amendment case involving Dexter Taylor, who I first spoke with back in February, thanks to Jeff Charles, who was raising the alarm about this particular case. And if you get the substack newsletter chapter and verse, you're filled in on it. If you're just learning about it, this is an innocent man with no criminal record who is being sent to prison, probably looking at an 18-year sentence for his Second Amendment rights, which were not allowed to be mentioned apparently in court, according to Jeff. Joining us now is Dexter Taylor's attorney, Venue Vargis, who is a criminal defense attorney, also former prosecutor, and he's a legal commentator as well. he joins us via Skype. Finu, thank you so much for joining us.
Starting point is 01:28:57 This is such a travesty this case. First and foremost, how is Dex doing? He's doing well. I mean, the guy is just a warrior, and he's been an inspiration to me. He's a unique sort of human being. He's a unicorn, really. I visited him this morning in Rikers,
Starting point is 01:29:18 and actually just got back from Rikers, and he's doing well. He was very happy to, that I was coming on to your show. He told me to say hello to you and to your husband. And he was in really good spirits. He knew, we knew that this was very likely to happen. I mean, it's a New York court, New York judge and New York prosecutors. And so we're prepared for this.
Starting point is 01:29:48 And this is going to be a long battle. And I can talk more about that. Of course. And for those, Dexter, he goes by Carbon Mike on social media. And he's just, and I say, I mentioned this to Jeff Charles, and I think I haven't told this to Dex as a joke. I'm like, he's not as a pejorative. He's a nerd.
Starting point is 01:30:06 I mean, he's like an engineering nerd. I mean, he loves, he's one of those guys who loves to know and understand how things work. And he's done this. Built firearms for his own personal hobbyist use, which is a completely legal activity, has been since the beginning of this republic's founding. I mean, it's still, you know, part of our federal statute that it's, you don't, unless you're selling it, you don't have to get a license, you don't have to serialize it. There was no evidence of his intent to distribute, intent to sell nothing. He just liked to build it and understand how it worked. And the state of New York
Starting point is 01:30:44 raided his home, NYPD and ATF, rated his home, knocked down his door. They took him to jail once. now he's been convicted just the other day. How many, there was a multiple felony charges with firearms possession and building all the, how many charges were there? So the indictment initially was 37 separate charges. They reduced it. They reduced it to 15 for the final vote. And he was found guilty of those in court.
Starting point is 01:31:14 And Kim really is no surprise. We were just wondering how long they would be out. and unfortunately they were only out a few hours. So, you know, we knew it. And we knew he was going to go in. And so we had prepared for that. He was prepared for that. You know, the judge, you know, tied my hands, tied his hands repeatedly.
Starting point is 01:31:35 You know, she was the toughest prosecutor in the room. Wow. You weren't allowed to mention the Second Amendment, as I understand it. You couldn't even bring up any kind of Second Amendment rights, not cite anything on that precedent, nothing. She would say repeatedly, both in front of the jury and outside the presence of the jury when we had legal arguments that the Second Amendment has no place here in this courtroom. And those were her words. You know, it was kind of like studying because, you know what, New York is bound by the Second Amendment.
Starting point is 01:32:06 So what you were saying earlier is that under New York law, the current statutes and the way it is, Dexter did violate. New York law. And he was aware of that. He didn't deny anything. And basically, the prosecutor what Dexter took the stand. And look, the only hope we had at this level was a potential jury nullification. That was the, so that concept is that the jury understands the law, but they choose not to convict. That was the only hope we had because Dexter is admitting to possessing and making these firearms, in his home. So under New York law, you're not allowed to do that. Which is new law, as I understand. We're talking, for those who are just joining, we're talking to Dexter Taylor's attorney Veneu Vargis, who's there in New York. He just actually visited him. He said in Rikers earlier,
Starting point is 01:33:01 because a lot of these laws are new, and this is what, not being a lawyer, that's just why I have you on, because New York believes that, you know, an unmilled block of aluminum. You know, you can just go ahead and count that as a gun. They count parts that are perfectly legal to purchase as firearms by themselves. And this is something the ATF has been trying to do as an in run around Congress. But from my understanding, when I read this case and when I was looking at the charges and the arguments that the state was making, he's been doing a perfectly legal activity. New York decides to arbitrarily, without any evidence at all whatsoever in terms of this being a crime driver, decides to change the law. Of course, there's a lot of litigation about that,
Starting point is 01:33:40 which is a whole other issue. But it's in conflict with what federal law is. But then it seems like they're going after him ex post facto to try to make him a felon when he's a perfectly innocent guy who's been involved in a perfectly innocent hobby. So these gun laws actually have been around for years and years, these prohibitions on, you know, unlicensed firearms. There are additional to state regulations. There were city code violations. So New York City, so, for example, having a. a pistol as long as you had a license for it. Basically, New York City, it's still very difficult.
Starting point is 01:34:22 What happened to change was that they had to change their licensing regime two years ago because of Bruin. But what they came up with is really vague and basically the same thing. They've created this before they had to show to get a firearm in New York State, you had to show a compelling reason to have one. Now they've changed it to this amorpharm. completely constitutionally vague concept of good moral character. We had the guy on who was the custodian of records, who's a police officer from the New York City Licensing Bureau,
Starting point is 01:34:57 and basically he basically said, it's just arbitrary. Because I asked him to define good moral character he put in. He basically said, well, it's, you know, somebody has no criminal record. Yeah, but that's in the initial application, right? So if a guy has a criminal record, he's not getting it in New York. in New York, in New York City. And then he was like, well, no mental health.
Starting point is 01:35:20 Okay, but that's in the, that's a separate part. So what's good moral character? Couldn't answer it. He couldn't tell me how many people had applied for licenses and gotten accepted and been rejected. And he basically admitted that sometimes he just rejects people. And so it was a funny, funny but sad realization of what you're dealing with in New York city on top of what you have to deal with in New York State.
Starting point is 01:35:48 It's a this, this sounds like such an absolute mess to try to unravel. We're talking with Vanu Vargis, who is Dexter Taylor's attorney. And you brought up the licensing as well. And from what I read, this was something that was brought up, obviously, in the arguments in court, because New York, you know, the city says, well, you have to have a license, but they're not actually in the habit of giving them out. And from what I understand, there are a lot of, as you were just talking about, a lot of rejections, a lot of refusals on this.
Starting point is 01:36:11 so they they sort of it I mean it sounds like to me that they try to set you up yeah so the what New York state judges when Bruin came out New York you know
Starting point is 01:36:24 you know certain lost its mind let's just say let's say it that way I'm not sure what I can't say in your show so I won't go ahead certain things I can't say in court so I'll
Starting point is 01:36:35 leave it to what I'm able to say online so it's certainly lost its head And so what they did, I mean, there was the rhetoric from, from Governor Hockle and Mayor Adams. I mean, it was just obnoxious. They basically said it's just so wrong and it's going to create anarchy. And so what what they did was come up with this new criteria called good moral character, you know, which is complete joke. But put that aside for a second.
Starting point is 01:37:04 What we discovered, well, let me take a step back. Judges in reaction, so they get a playbook, right? So judges across the state are given a playbook on how to reject Second Amendment challenges. So they filed this paybook. And what they did was in every single criminal defendant that alleged a Bruin violation, they said he had no standing, meaning he didn't have a right to challenge the law because he never applied for a license. So to get around that, what we did is we subpoenaed, well, basically we got a foil request on the New York. New York government on the New York City Police Department. It took like eight or nine months to get these records.
Starting point is 01:37:46 And it showed that in the two years they were investigating Dexter, he had only, they only gave 19% of applications were accepted in 2021 and only 4% in 2022 post-Bruitt. So we don't have the numbers for 23 and 24 because you have to, they're not really readily available, according to... You have to have a license to even present a defense on what you're getting licensed. Well, you have to have applied for a license. That's the craziest thing I have ever heard for this. I mean, that's kind of...
Starting point is 01:38:28 Well, you know, we're not going to take you seriously because you never applied for the license that, I mean, that's just wild to me. The fact that you couldn't even cite 2A. That's... I mean, if you... There's the whole discussion to be had on if it's even a right at that point. We're talking to Vanuvar Geese, who is representing Dexter Taylor in this case that we've been talking about. This is, well, obviously you're going to appeal this.
Starting point is 01:38:50 Yes, absolutely, absolutely. So we have to, the next phase is sentencing. He's going to get sentenced in less than four weeks. Give me a second. My son's a little too loud back there. Anyway. We can't hear him. He's fine.
Starting point is 01:39:04 He's fine. He didn't come in like that one guy whose two babies came in the room. You're good. Yeah. So I don't really I'm not at home. I don't really are not at home, usually in my office at this time. You are totally fine. So you have the appeal forthcoming. For what you said less than four weeks, he's going to be sentenced, which is crazy. And he's looking at 18 years. Yes. Yes. He's going to, and this judge is going to give him, maybe not that total amount, but she's going to send a message. Because basically the argument is that Dexter thinks he was above the law, the law of the Supreme law, of New York State. And so in the trial, look, it came out. And at different points, a prosecutor,
Starting point is 01:39:48 you know, asked him why he didn't have a license. And he said he had one. You know, it was license given to him the day he was born. It was his natural right. And so we were ready for that, unfortunately, with a New York jury, they didn't really care. And it's, it's, unfortunately, the people that expressed any sort of affinity to firearms, which, you know, they were struck. And so, you know, and there were a couple of people who said that they didn't think what he did was wrong. They were struck.
Starting point is 01:40:20 So we were pretty much everyone else had, even those who said they didn't even feel strongly about them, there were only a few of those. Most people had strong views. It's sort of like the Trump trial. It actually took us. longer to get five jurors in our case than it did in in trump's case because i was able to then question and then show that they weren't ever going to give dexter a shot but still with what we were left with was uh unfortunately slim picking this is just one of the this case i this has to be
Starting point is 01:40:53 so frustrating to you and i know that this is a long fight ahead uh we're talking with vanuvargeese uh he's representing dexter taylor are i are other gun rights groups are they all they all offering to help because this is a huge, this could be a landmark case because you're looking at some of the conflict between what New York City and New York State want and what the federal government says is allowable. I mean, there is conflict there. So I can imagine that there would be an interest for gun rights groups to get involved in this because of the precedent, the potential precedent that this could set. So there is one group that's been, that has shown their support expressed and said they would have that the National Association of Gun Rights
Starting point is 01:41:37 from saying the correct it. But, you know, we've reached out to different people, but, you know, the NRA's been silent. No response from that. No response. But we have, right. So we have the National Association of Gun Rights.
Starting point is 01:41:53 Chris Koffer has been supportive. We were on his podcast at one point. So this word has to get out. I mean, what makes this case you think, why, I believe. So let me, let me just say, he has to go through state court process. So unfortunately, he's going to be sitting in jail probably, you know, at least two years before we can get to
Starting point is 01:42:17 federal court. So at least, probably maybe longer with delays and things along those lines and and court congestion. Yeah, no bail. He can't bond out. No, they're not going to give him bail. Judge, no judge in New York State is going to let a woman go for smothering her baby with her couch cushions because she was high on meth and she gets to walk. But Dexter Taylor's got to stay in prison. Yeah, I don't see a single appellate judge granting him bail. But I want to have you back because we're getting ready to go into a break. I want to have you back, Vanu, but really quickly, what does Dexter need right now? What do you need for this case? He needs support. I mean, the the process is
Starting point is 01:43:00 long, it's lengthy, it's expensive. So, you know, if people, just just word talking about Dexter, you know, and support for the financial support. His Gibson go. I had, I also had people ask me, can they send him
Starting point is 01:43:16 money in prison? Yeah, I mean, they can look him up on the New York City Department of Corrections website. Yeah, but the Gibson goes much more important. Okay. Yeah, the Gibson go is much more important. He didn't send him. His family can take care of his commissary and his toiletries and things like that. Okay. It won't be a large amount of money, but really the legal.
Starting point is 01:43:36 The legal fund is what really what we need. Because this is going to be costly. Vinu, I would definitely love to have you back. We're so grateful that you're taking on this case and you're leading this fight because this is going to affect everyone. And guns are just a variable. This is a legal formula that could be applied to a number of different rights. So we're very grateful for you for taking part and taking this case on. And we'd love to have you back.
Starting point is 01:43:58 Mnouvar Geese. Thank you so much. A pleasure. Thank you. Of course, absolutely. And folks, we're going to continue following this case as well. And we'll make sure that you have not only the gives and go. He says it is more important, but also for his commissary, get that as well.

Starting point is 01:44:22 We just, Kane just reminded me, we should have played I Eat Cannibals by Total Cello. Total Cualo or Cello, whatever. But that song, that's an old song. Man, we should have, we should have played that. I literally have that on a playlist somewhere. All right, before I rob you of time, sorry, real quick, today's stupidity. It is our president of these United States. What? He said something stupid.
Starting point is 01:44:43 Juan, go ahead. Are you ready to choose freedom over democracy because that's America? Freedom over democracy. What? And that's America? As you said, doesn't one? Right. One begets the other.
Starting point is 01:44:55 And why do they have to be exclusive? Like mutually exclusive? I don't know. It's weird. I don't know. All right, folks. I make sure you send it for the newsletter over at Substack. There's a lot of really good pieces coming out later today and tomorrow.
