I'm No Harrison. I've known him for seven years and I judge him by the character that he shows every single day.
And that's a good person. That's that someone who cares about the people around him, cares about his family,
and they want to make a good impact in society. When you're in the locker, there's a lot of people from a lot of different areas of life and they have a lot of different views on everything.
And we're not always going to agree. But I'm, and there's certain things that he said that I don't necessarily agree with, but I understand the person that he is and he's trying to do whatever he can to lead people
people in the right direction and that might not be the same values as I have but at the same time
I'm going to judge him by the character that he shows every single day that's a great person and
we'll continue to move along and try to help build each other up to make ourselves better every
single day but at the end of the day we're going to come together as a team I think that'll help out
as well as eliminating those distractions outside the building as well I don't mean to be mean and I
like that he's defending I like that he's he's putting up a defense here but
man does he not like somebody said he sounds like hermit the frog and I can't unhear it
it's just I it's stop it it's Patrick Mahomes I didn't do that the internet did a damn
internet so I I thought he was he's defending Harrison Bucker there and I'm glad that he is
because that dude has been raped over the coals by some people like old aging Gen X
grunge clingerons I don't know how how you want to put it I'm just I'm just so tired of
this guy getting kicked around
because you have people out there who are so weak and fragile and sensitive and so self-absorbed that they think everything is about them.
Like if somebody says something on the internet, I know these people in real life, they think everything is about them.
If you say anything, everything is about them.
It's all about, well, no, but this time it is because you're a brat.
You've got to stop it.
So welcome to the program.
It is Thursday.
We're almost through the week.
We're getting there very slowly but surely.
So again, welcome Dana Lash here with you.
And we are at the top of this first hour in a rainy, humid, miserable day in Texas.
And we're going to go through some of the stuff.
We're going to go through some of the hits for you, get you set up today, all that good stuff.
So, and again, you can find, make sure you sign up for the newsletter over at Substack because there's a lot of good stuff that goes out there regularly.
There were a couple of really good pieces that went out just in the past 20.
24 hours that you're going to want to be aware of.
And we're going to talk about some of it.
So you get like a heads up on this stuff.
And then we were going to have Cuba Gooding Jr.
But I got to be honest.
Like the people booking for the film that they're promoting are a nightmare.
Because they, we were going to have him.
And then they kept canceling and kept moving.
And then they're like, oh, well, we'll just do that.
And it's like, we're doing a live program.
We can't.
So we just canceled it out right.
I'm like, I don't have time for this because we got other guests.
I can't be scooting, like we have Riley Gaines on today, I can't be scooting her around to accommodate this.
That's just some of the inner workings of stuff that we do to bring you like a good solid show and good guests.
And so we were going to have Cuba Gagne Jr. We were also going to have Tulsi Gabbard this week, but she canceled again.
So she does not want to come on. And it's, I don't know why. It's not like, it's just the weirdest thing.
So anyway, that's some of the insight. That's some of the stuff we're dealing with.
All right. So as we get rolling in today, we had.
the Harrison Bucker, that defense, we're going to touch on some of that. We're also going to get into some
some of the latest foreign policy. I got some polling, some 2024 stuff for you that we're going to
jump into as well because some of the swing state polling doesn't look great. It doesn't look
great for either of them, if I'm being really honest about it. It doesn't look good for anybody.
And which, I'm being honest, you either want a winner, you don't. And I just think that if you have
the worst president, I've said this a million times now. If you have the worst president in the
of the country, you, you shouldn't, nobody should be polling with him. Nobody should be within the
margin of error in a poll with him. So we're going to get into all of that. But in the meantime,
to rectify it, Biden canceled another seven, almost $8 billion in student debt, almost $8 billion for
160,000 people. So this is 4.75 million student loan borrowers that have had their stuff canceled.
how nice for them. They've had their bills paid. It's a vote buying scheme. They had their bills paid off. How unbelievably nice for them. So happy for them, right? Your tax dollars going for it. Out of this, they said they have the public service loan forgiveness. That's over half of it. That's the, and that's literally government employees. So of the $7.7 billion that's been quote unquote forgiven, and by forgiven, meaning you just have to pay for it. Of that, 5.2,
is that is relief that's been granted to government employees.
How are y'all feeling about that?
Yeah?
Feeling good about that?
You're not only are you paying for government employees and taxes,
but you're also paying for their college education,
their overpriced college education.
So that's, and they said that's those, those borrowers,
they're getting all their bills paid.
So they're getting jobs.
It's a vote buying scheme.
And then they're also like, okay, well, we're paying for you for this job.
And then we're going to pay for all your bills.
So it's even more than that.
They had, let's see, they had some adjustments.
That's one of the big, that's the biggest thing to me, though.
So you have five million Americans that have had their bills paid off.
That's five million votes for Democrats.
I mean, that's, that's five million votes for them.
And in the meantime, nothing done to actually fight the, or remedy or change.
The insane cost of college or to deconement.
couple the government's administration of that because that's what that's really ultimately what
this has been you've had democrats that have taken it over and they just they voted to federalize
all of this and to consolidate all of this back in the day this is under Barack Obama and that drove
up the abs that drove up the cost astronomically we've talked about this before and it's
I mean it's nothing done they don't that's because they don't really care about it they would
rather it stay high so then they can do hurt and rescue and then they can come around and
act like, oh, well, we're going to help you because of these high, the high cost of college.
Then they act like Republicans caused it when it was them. Oh, we're going to help you with the
high cost of college. We're going to, we're going to pay for your bills. We're going to pay for it.
We're going to pay off your bills. Pay off your debt. Hmm. In the meantime, everybody's begging,
everybody's begging pop culture people, politicians, make sure you endorse Biden. Make sure you vote
for Biden. They are doing everything possible to make sure they had the view.
the people on the view, those harpies on the view that were aggravating one of their guests,
we got to make sure, are you going to vote for Biden? You got to vote. Why don't you just endorse them?
It's not his job to endorse them. It's not his job to drag him across the threshold.
Biden can't sell himself. Why should anyone else sign up to do it if Biden can't do it?
Good heavens. They're in a, they're in a difficult position.
And the polling is, it doesn't look good. However, we're still early on. I got,
where's that? I got a couple of things say. There are, there are some outliers. I think the
independence bothers me. The surveying of independence bothers me as it pertains to Republicans,
because that's not locked up. There was, they had UGov, the UGov Economist had a poll that I thought
was oversampled. But even with it being oversampled, they had a generic ballot poll. And it's
generic, blah, blah, blah, blah. They had Democrats plus four, 46 to 42. The margin of error was like
3.4, so it was really close to the margin of error. And it was a little over sampled. But even then,
it should not have been that close. They should have had to oversample it by the entirety of the survey
number. And to get, to get, because he's so bad. Do you see what I'm saying? Like, it shouldn't even
be that close. They shouldn't even, it should be so bad that they can't even cheat to make up the
difference. And that's some of the stuff that bothers me. And looking at some of this, it,
it shouldn't, it shouldn't be that way. So we're going to talk a little bit about the 2024 stuff.
We're going to get into all of that. We're also going to talk about the Alito flag, because they're doing
everything possible to get this guy.
Sotomayor had all kinds of activism in her background.
I mean, for crying not loud, Ruth Bader Ginsburg would go, I mean, the stuff that she just
said on record.
And then they're mad because they're claiming that Alito flew this appeal to heaven flag
that was at one, that was at his New Jersey vacation home.
We're going to discuss that.
That's what they're trying to focus on.
also the hunter Biden charges tax charges delayed until september that trial his the gun charges are supposed to go ahead and go in june that's the federal gun charge that is based in Delaware that's set for june uh june 3rd but the tax charges that was going to be in june remember we had this as a headline earlier this week his team was saying he can't do both at the same time well it's not our problem that you were such a criminal so that's been made
he was asking for so many delays that the judge actually got snippy with his team,
but they did say you can't seek any further delays.
You have to promise that you're not going to have any other delay.
So that's been moved.
And this was, now remember, this was the case that started at all, was the tax charges
because it was the moving around of all of that money coming in from China, et cetera,
and going into these shell companies, that's what ended up.
triggering those alerts with the banks and they started this investigation and the feds got involved.
So that trial has been moved to September 5th so long as they don't seek further delays.
Now, he's tried to delay that gun trial in Delaware, but that's not going to happen.
The judge has said, no, it's now time to try this case.
It's not, we're not doing this.
And so that's, they've been going back and forth.
on that. So they said the judge said in that case, quote, in this court, we like to set schedules and keep
them. So they are not going to move that. So September, it'll be September 7th and then, or sorry,
September 5th and then June 3rd, back to back, right before November. See, that's the other thing.
Why would you want to delay it until right before the election? Why wouldn't you want to get it out
there and get it done with so that you have time to do damage control before everybody goes to
vote? Because by the time this stuff is happening, you got people going to early vote. Right when this is all
going to be in the headlines, you're going to have people early voting is going to get kicking into
gear. Why in the world would you want to delay it until September? Why in the world would you want to do that?
It doesn't make any, I mean, it's bad strategy. I know he's trying to save his backside,
but I think this is like one of the first times that we've seen a separation between Hunter Biden thinking for Hunter Biden and Hunter Biden thinking for the big guy.
Speaking of the Bidens, are we ever going to hear anything about, because they had another admission from Ashley Biden that that was her diary?
Are we ever going to have any kind of conversation about that?
By the way, like nationally, seriously.
Nobody, MSNBC doesn't touch it, NBC doesn't touch it, ABC doesn't touch it, ABC doesn't touch it, ABC doesn't touch it, all of them.
Nobody touches it.
And it's a real thing that she admitted to, but they would touch and they would go over and report on ad nauseum,
the fake story that was made about Donald Trump Jr.
meeting with that Natalia Vetteliazza in New York.
And she was an agent with Fusion GPS.
Yeah, she was literally a lobbyist for for Russian oligarchs.
Now they focused on that quite a bit.
Coming up, do you remember that story of the 15-year-old girl that was attacked in St. Louis?
And she had her head bashed into the street.
So her attacker, they've decided not to try the attacker as an adult because they were told that the girl that she attacked.
Oh, well, she was a serial bully.
Wait until you hear what happened in this case.
We're going to discuss that.
that flag with Justice Alito, how they're trying to get him pushed off. They just want to pack the court.
That's what this is all about. So there's a company that I just started using called Ammo Squared. And Ammo
Squared helps you stay stocked up on ammunition, like automatically. It's a truly automated system.
You set it and you forget it. It's an ammo purchasing program. And you can pick whatever caliber
you want. You can set your budget. You can select your shipping. And that's it. And the cool thing is
that it builds up, your ammunition builds up over time, and it's stored in this climate-controlled warehouse,
and it sends it automatically when you want it, when you have its selected descent. And ammunition is a
hard asset. I mean, it's something that's tangible. I think we all remember the uncertainty,
like back in, what, 2019, 2020, when there were certain calibers that were kind of hard to find.
And we ended up calling, we were calling some of our retail friends and saying, when you get a shipment of
this, can we get some? Can we lay claim to some when it comes in? And in times of uncertainty and
inflation, the value of all the stuff only goes up. So Ammo Squared is there to help smooth out the
rough spots of ammunition availability. It's like an ammo 401k or something like that. You set it up.
You have ammo for that rainy day when store shelves are empty and ammo's hard to find. So you can learn
more and you can sign up today at Ammosquared.com and ensure that you're prepared for whatever may come
your way. That's Ammosquared.com.
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five.
So Portland DA, very progressive DA.
Mike Schmidt lost his election to Nathan Vasquez
after his source back, soft-on-crime policies were blamed for ruining the city.
Yeah.
Schmidt was the prosecutor for Mottolema County.
Covers Portland in Oregon.
Conceded of the race to Vasquez yesterday.
But Vasquez got over 54% well over.
It was like well over 10% above Schmidt.
So these progressive DAs are getting their backsides kick because people are tired of it.
They're tired of, I mean, literally no justice.
So a NASA spacecraft found a dead robot on the Mars surface.
Wait, what?
That's according to this report that came in.
Mars reconnaissance order has been looking down at the surface of the red planet for about 20 years.
It caught sight of another robot.
This one, though, is one, though, is one from NASA that sent to the surface of Mars in 2018, but it stopped functioning.
Yet it's still proving to be a useful study tool that grainy focus.
that you can see on the simulcast, that's the robot. Can't you tell? That's the robot that it found.
The little mark there on the screen. The NASA spacecraft, it's another agency, like I said, another
agency machine, but it was sent to study the interior and take essentially the temperature
reflexes, the pulse of the planet. So, I mean, I guess it's still getting some information.
But the state of Texas is going to face a heat index. Finally, I've been waiting for this.
Cook us.
Tired of this stupid 80 degree weather and rain and humidity.
I want dry and sun.
Come on.
They said Texas is going to face the heat index of 110 degrees in late spring.
It's going to be a test for the power grid.
I don't care.
Bring on the sun and the heat.
I'm tired of this.
Are you tired of a cane?
I'm ready for some consistent weather is basically what I want.
I want some consistently good weather.
I don't want it to be like, oh, here's the sun that's out today.
I guess I'll, and then, no, tornadoes inhale.
I'm going to bash your head in with some ice rocks.
Woo!
Just done with it.
In Florida, one county told residents to prepare for a very active hurricane season.
They do this every year, though.
Every year, people are told, guess what, you live in a state that's going to get hit by hurricanes.
Guess what?
A hurricane's probably statistically going to come.
It may not be a cat five, but just be ready.
So they're ready.
It's not anything new.
the world's first head transplant system has been revealed.
This looks like some shenanigans, I'm going to say.
So it's a startup called Brain Bridge, which literally sounds like a character from the mighty boosh.
Neuroscience and, I mean it is.
That guy's name was Bainbridge.
Brainbridge.
They did a CGI demo where an entirely robotic system simultaneously removes the heads of donor and recipient
before swapping another one onto a grisly conveyor belt.
Yeah, that, yeah, CGI, because as you know, that anything that CGI does can be real, right?
I mean, they just swap it out on a little, who's the donor head?
Who's going to be like, yes, I would like to be a head donor?
Who does that?
All right, so coming up, Alito and the flag, swing state polling, catastrophic, culture, so much more.

Posted daily from The Dana Show.
It's totally inappropriate.
Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas are totally out of control.
What?
These individuals continue to detonate the credibility of the United States Supreme Court.
Because they don't agree with me.
They don't agree with me.
That's why.
This is, yeah, this is Hakeem Jeffries, leader of the house.
Sam, talking about Sam Alito and Clarence Thomas.
I could call him Sam.
Never met him.
Justice Alito and Justice Thomas.
it says they're completely out of control.
All right.
So first off, welcome back to the program.
Dana Lash with you.
Pull up a chair.
Let's talk some smack.
Bottom of this first hour.
All this has to, first off, can we just have a conversation about all the different flags that are out there for just a quick, hot second?
Let me, let me throw this over to, I think if you had to be tested, I think if you yourself had to be tested as to all the different iterations of different actual, either military authorized or some other officially.
accepted flag that represents something with the United States, you would probably not pass the test.
I'm just saying because there's, now these are flags that I like. You know why? Because these are
flags that are flags about a purpose and principle. It's not a flag about, well, this is how I like to
have the sex. So I'm going to have a flag that represents that. And this color means I got this
bit. And this color means this person's got this bit. And we'll put our bits together like this. And this
well that flag baines.
They actually mean something.
You know what I'm saying?
They mean something.
Like the Gadsden flag.
It means something.
You know, you got the Eastern flag.
The Gadsden flag is one of my favorites.
And not just because, you know, since the Tea Party days, I've adopted it and loved it and have it.
I mean, I've got the Betsy Ross flag framed in my house.
We got, my house is, just in case you were wondering, my house is red, white, and blue.
My whole motif is red, white, and blue.
Literally every bit of it.
And I got Americana everywhere.
It's not crazy.
It's proper.
It's like Ron Swanson exploded in my house, but with a better actor.
Anyway, so there's like, my point is that there's a ton of different types of flags, right?
You got the four mercer flag.
You got all different types.
And this flag that they're saying that's Justice Alito.
He apparently, there was like,
like one flag where he flew a flag upside down during dispute with neighbors.
Alito sounds like a party. Can I just say, doesn't he? He sounds like the dude that's got the dirt.
Like, Justice Thomas, I know his wife, and she's very lovely. Justice Thomas also seems hysterical.
I don't know anyone else. I mean, you're the Supreme Court Justice, and what do you do for your vacation when you're on break?
You get an RV and you go across America. He does that every year. I mean, that's pretty amazing.
Justice Alito absolutely sounds like somebody who would spill the dirt.
at a dinner party that you want to sit next to him. You know what I mean? He's, he just,
he seems like he's a lot of fun. So now they have this headline over at the New York Times.
This is how it started. The headline is this. Another provocative flag was flown at another
Alito home. Was it the, the Pander alphabet flag? If you would have flown that flag, sidebar,
if you would have flown that flag, that pastel nightmare,
it's a disgusting pastel nightmare.
Pastel should be outlawed.
If you would have flown that, they're horrible.
If you would have flown that flag,
that would have been acceptable, Kane, would it not?
We wouldn't even be hearing about it.
Wouldn't even be hearing about it.
Y'all would be going about your day,
picking the meats that you have,
getting ready to do your cemetery visits for Memorial Day.
You all would be, you all would be going about your lives.
but instead
we got to hear about it
because they don't like
how Alito thinks
they being the progressive left
so he's got what they called
an appeal to heaven flag
I gotta be real with you
I wasn't I knew of it
but I wasn't
super familiar with it
I mean I knew of the flag
but I wasn't super familiar with it
and it's like an appeal
to have an appeal to God
and it was one of the
when Washington
was commander of the Continental
Army and it had to do with
I don't know why they think it's also
called the Pine Tree Flag I don't know why they think it's
a controversial thing when he was
Commander in Chief of the Continental Army it was
a maritime flag
it's like the official isn't it still
like an official maritime flag for
Massachusetts? Yeah
yeah yeah and it
came from his secretary
and it's the Pine Tree and it says
appeal to heaven and it's been
like New England it's like
a big like flag still a New
England, basically.
Anyway, so
John Locke talked about it on his
second treaties of government.
I mean, it's, you know, I mean, it's an official,
it's like a part of our
heritage,
our American heritage.
And there was some, there were
like three supporters, apparently,
that had that flag
of Trump, three Trump supporters
that had that flag during
the January 6th riot.
Okay.
And guess what?
All of the rioters on January 6, Kane.
I don't know if this has not been widely reported.
Did you know this?
What?
Breaking news.
All of the rioters on January 6th, all of them were shoes.
What?
Yeah.
No one told us this.
Now, I know.
This was not widely reported.
So we know what this means.
That if, look at your feet right now.
Everybody just pause and look at your feet.
Unless you're driving a car, don't do that.
I'll, you can steal a quick glance.
You see that?
What's on your feet?
Shoes.
Oh, my gosh.
Did you guys know that you basically support an attack on the Capitol?
How do we not put this together?
You know, I'm telling you.
I mean, they had, and they only had three people.
Like, there were like three or four.
It was like a tiny number.
And they were kind of dispersed.
And they had that they also had different flags,
but they had the pine tree flag too.
The appeal to heaven flag.
But they all were wearing shoes,
which I think is a more important point of point to note here.
That is a common denominator.
Is the shoe wearing?
All of them.
I saw videos.
I saw, did you see it when the security was opening the door?
Guess what?
Guess what?
The security was also wearing shoes.
What?
They opened the door and when they were ushering in,
the shoe wearing people there at January,
six and people had no idea
most of them had no idea the hell's going on they thought it was a big
tour they walk in
they're like oh look at they stand behind the velvet
ropes with their shoes
I mean that right there and I hear
Kane I've never seen a photo
of his feet but I've heard that Justice Alito
yeah also
don't say it wears shoes
oh my there it is
I mean
talk about the other shoe dropping
that is the other shoe dropping
That's pretty amazing.
So this New York Times piece, they got three photographs.
They said the appeal to heaven flag was aloft at the Alito home on Long Beach Island in July and September of 2023.
They also got a Google Street View image and they saw the flag very.
again, very common flag in the East Coast. Now, they had an upside down American flag that he flew at his
Virginia home in 21. He says his wife raised it during a clash with a neighbor. I have to have a
full-on sidebar for that little reaction. Men, I want you make an assessment. I want you to
make an assessment here. If your wife, normally if your wife has a little tit for tat with a neighbor
or someone. It's like a petty thing, right? Maybe, just maybe if there's a neighborhood event,
that person doesn't get an invite, right? Maybe she doesn't say hello to them as y'all leave church,
right? Maybe she just strolls her cart right on past them at the supermarket. Not Martha Anolito.
No, Martha Anolito takes her happy backside outside. She takes down the flag and turns it upside down
and then hoists it back up. That is a whole.
other level. That is a whole other level. That, my friends, is an example of a woman with whom I think
it's best to not mess. Just saying, get you a wife, men, that would take your flag and invert it
and put it up as a message to the neighbor. So my gosh. So there were people who were
concerned, people, busy bodies. Apparently, there is a whole subset of people that do nothing.
nothing but stare at Samuel Alito's house. And they're very worried about what he's doing.
Not that there's a whole class of people that sit and watch Samuel Alito's house, but that
he's doing things, guys, that they dislike. Imagine that. On his own property.
Senator Lindsey Graham, if I could HTML tag this with Lisp, his, his jaw and Lisp,
said that displaying the inverted flag was not good judgment.
Neither was wanting to bomb everything with a, with a heartbeat.
But, you know, there we go.
How was it bad judgment?
I don't know. That's a great question.
I don't know how it is.
So they said that the appeal to heaven, it was seen flying at the Justice's New Jersey home
as a key January 6th case arrived at the Supreme Court.
It was a case that determined whether those who stormed the Capitol could be prosecuted for obstruction.
What?
And so they were upset.
judges should not be giving any.
This whole thing is a presupposition because there were literally only three flags pictured ever.
Three flags.
There's more Trump flags, mega flags, gads and flags, and a couple of other flags that are seen there.
So they're trying to allege, and apparently he's, they take, I would just say if the wife does that with the American flag, I'm pretty sure that the Alitos have like a collection of flags, right?
that they put up.
I think that it is,
you're trying to push bias
by claiming that his
possession of one of the
fewest represented flags on January
6th is in
any way indicative of
bias. Furthermore,
Alito has never
lent any sort of,
never given the impression
that he is biased one way
or another in any of the J6
stuff, not in the way you would
say that maybe Ruth Bader Ginsburg, when she's talked about stuff previously, whether it's
abortion or anything else, she never recused herself from abortion cases despite speaking out in
favor of it with her own name on public. Or Sotomayor's activism or Kagan's remarks to say nothing
of Kantanji Brown Jackson. I mean, this is silly. They're still mad because that little shrew,
Merrick Gardland, never made the Supreme Court. So they've been wanting to pack the court ever
since. And now they want to get Alito out. And they're just trying to pick for something.
I just want to know, like, at what point, is there like a scale of acceptable flag, of, like, what flags are acceptable and what aren't?
You know, is there like a sliding scale?
Like, is it the appeal to heaven flag that's on the no, no part and just like the irregular American flag that's the yes, yes part?
And then what's like in the middle?
I'm just curious.
Like, what, what's one end of the spectrum or the other?
What's the middle point?
Like, where do you start getting into suspicious territory?
You know life busy bodies.
When does this happen?
I think it's not a spectrum at all.
The left will look at whatever they don't agree with as some sort of bigotry or racism or something.
And that's their spectrum.
You know, Alito also has an American flag.
There were a lot of American flags there on January 6th.
Oh my gosh.
This is a flag that George Washington commissioned.
That's not a scandal.
That is so stupid to try to tie him to that.
I mean, it's just, it's insane.
Stop.
I would be, I mean, it's not like he flew a, you know, what is it? One of the sex flags. That's what we're calling it now. It's a sex flag. It's not a pride flag. It's a sex flag. Stop. It's a sex flag. We have a lot more on the way because this is just, I mean, it's so goofy that they've, that they've been trying to tie this to him this whole time. They've spent, you know, two days on this nonsense. It's just it's assonate. It's one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. Well, you know,
I mean, I don't know.
They did this with the Gadsden flag during the Tea Party, too.
Remember that?
Good grief.
They've done this for a long time.
So they're just, it's a smear attack.
That's all it is.
They're trying to make it a gotcha story.
So that's, you know, it's so goofy.
We have more on the way, including the CIA and Hunter Biden.
This is a very interesting story because there's some questions as to whether or not,
you remember Hunter Biden's, uh,
sugar not sugar daddy sugar brother the guy who basically bankrolled his whole life so apparently
is he with the CIA we got to have this conversation we're going to talk about this here coming up
black rifle coffee it's the only coffee I drink everything else is just garbage and it's actual
like coffee aficionados people who know what they're doing they don't just find a niche market

have the best roast. They roast the beans five days a week. Their facilities in Utah and Tennessee,
this is veteran-owned, veteran-run. They hire veterans and active duty. And they support our first responders.

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States.
A lot of my work around access to capital has focused on young men of color, black men and black man, knowing that again, so many entrepreneurs, and it's, it's, you know, when people think black men and small businesses, it's not, it's not just a barbershop.
That, no one ever literally ever said that. That seems kind of racist.
She said it. What do the hell is wrong with Democrats? First off,
Apparently, black children in the Bronx have no idea what computers are.
That's Hockel in New York.
It got Eric Adams, Mayor Eric Adams, who thinks that they'd all be great lifeguards because they can swim, illegal immigrants.
And then now you have this with Kamala Harris, who thinks apparently that the only business is black men own are barbershops.
Holy cow.
That's so ignorant.
For real.
That's just this ignorant.
That is so ignorant.
Oh, my gosh.
Come on, guys.
Does she not
And she apparently didn't realize she said it.
I don't know.
Right?
She just,
I guess she didn't know,
I don't know.
It's garbage and I,
I got to tell you when I hear stuff like this,
it is shocking.
Kay, we didn't grow up like this.
We did not grow up where people,
nobody thought like this.
Nobody said this stuff.
Nope.
And now you got, she's a baby boomer.
I'm not insulting boomers.
Don't get mad at me.
My parents are boomers.
My name is a boomer.
Come on.
But you all know, you all know some bad ones.
They're the hippies.
They're the bad hippies.
You know, not the good hippies that stay in the woods with Sasquatch and leave us all alone.
They're the bad ones, right?
I think she's one of them baby ones, right?
I am positive.
I just, we just didn't.
When I hear people say stuff like this, it, I'm just like, holy hell, did we just like zap back into the
50s the hell was this. Oh my gosh. Who says this stuff? Stop. Stop it. Oh, man. You know what? She's going to be a
handful when she gets old. Because, you know, as Kane says, old people aren't innocent. And I know he thinks that
they just say crazy things. Can you imagine what she's going to be like? We got a whole other hour on the way.

contributes to inflation?
What we believe is student debt cancellation gives an opportunity for Americans to start a life,
to buy a house, to start a family.
That adds to the economy.
That is also important to the economy.
And it gives, again, a little bit of breathing room so that they can actually take action and do things
that they've wanted to do, whether it's going after a dream, whether, again, is starting a family,
whether it's buying a house.
That matters. That matters to many, many.
Pay your own way. Pay it for yourself.
I mean, good heavens. That's KJP.
She was asked a very simple question about whether or not the administration thinks that student loan debt cancellation,
you're not canceling again, you're just making everybody else pay for it, whether or not that contributes to inflation.
It does.
So she's, well, you heard her answer.
She didn't really give one.
It does.
That's why. I mean, she can't really give on.

We're going to talk about some of the legal stuff coming up as well as the Sugar
Brother.
Yeah, Sugar Brother.
I keep on call him Sugar Daddy, but I guess he's Sugar Brother.
The president's like 50.
something-year-old baby infant son who paid for his life. We're going to talk about that coming up.
I had a piece that went out. It's one of the cattyer things I've written in a while. I had a
piece that went out last night. One of the issues that we've discussed this week was, of course,
what happened earlier in the week with the International Criminal Court and them saying they're going to
seek, they're going to investigate. They're looking to get a warrant against Israeli leaders
for the war crime of defending themselves from rapist paragliders.
You imagine?
Imagine somebody just, you know, descends into your home, repels into your home.
Mission Impossible style.
Marks your whole family.
You defend yourself using lethal force.
That's a war crime.
You're the one in trouble.
That's exactly what this is.
So I watched as this kind of blew up, and we touched on it a little bit yesterday.
I watched as this blew up on social media because George Clooney, he married this chick.
Amal Al-Mudin.
And I just thought it was interesting the way it was all discussed.
Because they have this foundation and all this.
And she was revealed to be one of the lawyers advising the ICC
to seek a warrant against Israel's leaders for the war crime, again,
of defending themselves in a terror attack.
And everyone's like, oh, it's such a brilliant move, all the left.
She's such a world-class lawyer.
Brilliant. She's a human rights lawyer. Lawyering in human rights.
Now, I actually looked into her. She is a PR operative. She's a show pony.
She is reportedly junior counsel and she's in her mid-40s and she's never let a case.
Now, there's no shame in that. I'm not saying that women in order to be considered accomplished have to seek out to lead cases and be first.
However, I just think that it's applicable here this criticism because you can't describe someone as a world-class barrister just because they married a Hollywood celebrity.
You describe them as such because they're first, because they lead cases.
So is she accomplished? Yes, but she's no Blackstone. She's, you know, she's no Thomas Moore. She's, you know, she's a mall Clooney.
Her daily driver bag and her shoes cost more.
than the average GDP of whatever downtrodden demo she happens to occasionally represent for clout.
And that's exactly what it is.
She represents herself as a human rights lawyer, which one of my very snippy legal friends told me,
I can't say what she said on air.
One of my friends who actually works in international business is an attorney in international business.
and New York Bar and in UK said that it was
word salad BS.
And then another thing that I can't really say on air.
Basically, it's vagueness.
It's vagueness that can mean whatever you want it to mean
as an additional application to your field of law.
She apparently went into entertainment law,
Amal Clooney in New York University.
And then apparently she changed it
and it was elevated to jurisprudence later.
I don't, you know, but she began her,
she began her career in entertainment law at NYU.
So this idea that, well, I'm a human rights lawyer,
that's stupid. That's like word, again, it's, it's, it's nonsense.
It's just you can have a, you can have a particular,
uh, special criteria that you can apply to whatever your field of law is.
But I mean, that's, that's, that's not like, it's just goofy.
Interestingly, though, her cousin is an arms dealer.
Yes.
Clooney's cousin by marriage, Amal Clooney's cousin on our dad's side is an arms dealer.
Oh, you guys did know this. He actually got in trouble with Nicholas Sarkozy back in the day
because he was accused of money laundering Libyan money for the French. He apparently was
accused of working with Omar Gaddafi and all this other stuff and Sarkozy got caught up in it.
And his name is Zaid Tachiodine. He's a French-Lebanese-Milis. He's a French-Lebanese-Mil
arm's dealer.
He's already admitted to it.
What's interesting is that they are also accused of selling arms to Hamas and Hezbollah.
Now, that's an accusation that's been out there.
So I think that, yes, she's not her family.
However, when you are advising an anti-Semitic thug international court to, and you're
that's trying to exert influence without standing,
you are inviting the public to consider all of these associations.
When you are defending Hamas by accusing Israel of war crimes for the act of defending itself
after Hamas brutally attacked it,
then your family's association with arms dealing and the reports that they were selling weapons to Hamas and Hasbullah
may come up. It's fair game. I thought it was ironic because back in 2016, she came to Texas for this
women's conference, and she was representing one of the Yazidi women that had been just abused and, you know,
tortured and by ISIS. And there were a bunch of Yazidi women that were targeted by ISIS.
And she spoke out at this conference, she said, quote, the worst thing that we can do is
women is not stand up for each other. And I'm ashamed as a woman that girls like Nadia,
Nadia's mother was murdered by ISIS for being Yazidi. She wouldn't, she wouldn't, uh, uh, renounce her faith
and convert to Islam. And she said, you know, girls like Nadia, today they have their body
sold and used as battlefields. I'm ashamed as, as a woman that we ignore their cries for help.
I mean, how fast things change, because eight years later, the cries of Israeli women that were
raped to death by Hamas. And by the way, it's substack. I have receipts for all of this.
if you have a hard enough stomach.
Had their children murdered in front of them
when their babies weren't being shoved in ovens,
had their bodies obliterated?
Apparently they don't matter
because the failed Arab welfare colonist project
that is Gaza with Hamas
is the culprit and Hamas is protected
by the international community.
The other part of this,
because she's such a brilliant legal mind,
I'm shocked that this escaped her attention,
is that Israel is not a sign, they have not signed the Rome statute. They're not a signatory to the Rome statute that established the international criminal court. It is exactly like the French government trying to affect French law in the United States. You see what I mean? There's literally no standing. So it would be like the United States trying to affect United States law in Israel. There's no legal standing. It's just a toothless stunt.
it's a stunt for a leading actor's wife to add to her shiny CV as a way to, you know how you
have carbon credits? Well, this is her carbon credit. It's a way to offset the jet setting vapidness,
the red carpets and the mansions and the millions, ironically, none of which she's offered to share
with all of those refugees in Rafa. Hmm. So I'm not a fan of the hypocrisy, so to
speak. Now, this is an interesting story. We were talking about CIA. You know, CIA has protected
Hunter Biden. Apparently, according to the Daily Caller and this bombshell report, the CIA appeared
to instruct the assistant United States attorney for Delaware, Leslie Wolfe, to block the IRS
investigation into Hunter Biden from using his benefactor. This is that sugar brother. That's that
Sugar Brother Kane. He looks literally like the big
Lobowski. He looks like the dude
you know, or Duterino
if brevity's not your thing.
Kevin Morris.
The
they've been, his benefactor
Kevin Morris, apparently they block the IRS
from using him as a witness.
Wait, was he the one smoking a bong?
Yes. You are correct.
He is the one, Lobowski like,
that was on the balcony,
smoked just with his bong.
The day before he was going to
trial with Hunter Biden. I thought it
name sounded familiar.
Yeah.
You know.
Now, the IRS whistleblower,
Gary Shappley, said this.
He was the one who testified and put this in an affidavit before the House Ways and Means Committee.
They released this yesterday.
Daily Caller wrote about it last night.
Apparently, Shappley, remember, Shappley was the lead investigator for this.
All of this with Hunter Biden began several years ago, all right, I mean, years ago,
because the family was being so shady with how they were doing their money
that it triggered all of these suspicious activity reports with the banks.
And they're like, the hell is this?
This is all weird.
And then that tipped off the feds and then you got the IRS involved because the IRS,
there's one thing that they're consistent in.
If they think that they can get money out of Iraq, they're going to squeeze it.
They're very consistent with us.
So they immediately went after it.
They thought we could get some money out of this.
They got more government spending that they got to support.
Shappley was the lead investigator for the IRS's criminal division
that led the probe into this.
He was the lead guy.
And then Leslie Wolfe,
the assistant U.S. attorney,
had Shappley summoned him.
And she told him
and the Department of Justice's tax attorney,
Jack Morgan,
they summoned them to Langley.
And they said that they were considering,
Shappley and his team,
they found out that they were considering
using Morris as a witness for their case against Biden,
but the assistant U.S.
attorney shut it down. So to recap, the lead investigator for the IRS into the tax crimes for
Hunter Biden. They were going to use his sugar brother who's been financing his entire life as a witness.
And the assistant U.S. attorney made that investigator go to Langley where she told him in person to shut
that down. This is like a reacher episode. I mean, the money that this guy has spent, we should all
be so lucky to have a sugar brother like Kevin Morris. He bought 11 of his crap.
paintings, he's loaned him millions upon millions for tax debts, personal expenses, all kinds of
stuff. All kinds of stuff. And they were, I'm fascinated by this. Why did they shut that down?
So on first look, in first glance, it looks like, okay, they shut down, the US attorney shut
down the possibility of using him.
But
why?
Is Kevin Morris
a bomb-hitting CIA
asset? Because
Shappley
added, he provided documentation
at House Ways and Means to
Jason Smith. Jason Smith
was one who raised prospect of perjury in the
first place. He, as to whether
or not it begs the question that he was under CIA
protection.
We're going to come back to this.
Ah. Ah.
That's interesting, is it not?
The plot thickens.
As we move, Patriot Mobile,
the only Christian conservative cell phone service that is out there.
And they've been putting a lot of momentum behind some really good things.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick 5.
Man, people stop being skanky.
ABC, not you all.
ABC News says STIs including gonorrhea, syphilis, like everything, are increasing globally.
The number of new syphilis cases rose to $8 million in 2022.
Isn't that what made Van Gogh actually cut his ear off?
Is that what the clap is?
Is that what they call the clap?
We need to know more about drugs than this stuff.
In order for these headlines, I feel like, you know, we need to have like a vice reporter.
but like someone who's just like a bomb off the street, you know, like, yeah, I know about this stuff.
And then they can give us like expert reporting on these because I'm just curious.
Anyway, they're increasing for curable STIs.
They said all of the, chlamydia is a clap.
That's the other one.
They said that they're responsible for a million infections daily.
What in the world is happening?
Stop.
Now, the Impok stuff.
Now we have, what is this fever?
Dengue fever?
Dengue fever.
Dengue?
that is not the correct pronunciation of those last two vowels, sir.
It is.
Dengue fever that is apparently causing all kinds of problems in Latin America,
and it's going through Miami now.
It's a mosquito-borne illness.
Why do we have mosquitoes?
Why?
And they said it's doubled this year.
People carry it back from the Caribbean and stuff.
Are those Bill Gates mosquitoes?
Are those the Gates mosquitoes?
I don't know.
I can't tell if they're wearing little eyeglasses or not.
I got to look.
If they look nerdy and they have pocket protectors, then I'll know.
Let me eat like zero.
He's the only nerd who didn't buff out.
You notice, like, Mark Zuckerberg started working out and getting buff, and then what's his face?
Jeff Bezos, same thing, started working out.
Bill Gates was like, nope, going to keep it nerdy.
Not going to do it.
I'm just going to buy all your cows and your mosquitoes.
Anyway, so they had four million cases of this dengue fever in Brazil alone.
Puerto Rico announced its first dengue related death.
They declared a health emergency in March.
I don't want to see any skaters up here.
I don't want to see no, just, why can't they kill all the mosquitoes?
Right?
Is there a way to do that?
You can engineer so many things.
Vivek Ramoswamy acquired an activist stake.
It's a little over 7% in BuzzFeed.
Most Americans falsely, falsely, in B.C.
Most Americans falsely think that the U.S. is in a recession.
It's not a false thought, guys.
An American Airlines claims that a 9-year-old should have known
that she was being recorded in an airplane bathroom.
because a member of the staff apparently was recording her in the airplane bathroom.
S.S. Thompson of North Carolina was indicted.
It was a Boston-bound American Airlines flight.
And they said, yeah, she surreptitiously recorded this passenger.

Well, we don't mess with anything in terms of the term victim.
We just change offender to justice impacted individual.
Adding the Department of Corrections, adding human services,
adding Sangamon and Cook County adult probation,
and two members who've experienced the ARI system as offenders or justice impacted individual.
It might seem like a small thing.
I mean, obviously changing a term can have a positive or negative impact.
when we do that. But I would say that over and over again, we keep changing the names for how we are
referring to those who are, have entered into criminal activity. And each time we make that change,
each agency has to make that change on every one of their documents. So right now in the Department
of Corrections, there's multiple changes that have been made, and it's costing thousands and
thousands of dollars just to do a name change. So I would ask, why is it necessary to make the
name change, even if the rest of the bill was okay, which I don't think that it is, but even if
the rest of it was okay, the name changes may seem like a small thing, but it costs thousands and
thousands of dollars to do that. This was in Illinois where they decided to change, it was Illinois
Hospital 4409 and they wanted to change the word offender to as you heard quote justice impacted individual
in the state law welcome back to the program Dana lash with you words have no meaning justice
impacted individual as though through no fault of their own justice just hit them
They didn't do anything.
I was out minding my own business and I'll be damn.
Justice hit me upside the head.
Wait, what?
That, I am impacted by it, the justice.
They make it sound like it's a knockout game and some rando named justice is running around smacking people.
That's what they make it sound like.
But as dumb as you think this is, it's not as dumb as this bill passing bill at the House and Senate in Illinois.
And making its way to the governor who's going to sign it.
So it's not offender.
So in Illinois, they're not going to be offender.
It's justice impacted individual.
Now, when you hear that phrase, justice impacted individual, what do you think of?
What is the point of this?
What do you think of?
I mean, they're still going to prison.
Oh, I'm justice impacted.
It sounds like a comedy.
This is like an S&L skit.
This is not a real thing.
So I, so you can't say, they went from criminal to offender.
Because remember, it used to be criminal.
Then they went to offender.
And now they're going to say justice impacted individual.
Where does this stop?
I'm a justice impacted individual.
When does this stop?
This is so in this, and it passed both chambers.
What are you, what if you're a thief?
What would they call that?
an undocumented
taker
borrower
undocumented possessor
oh I like that
so that's what
burglars will be called now
no no he's not a thief he's not a burglar it's a harsh term come on
undocumented possessor
because we all know that the reason why these crimes
keep happening
is because the names of the people who commit the crimes
hurt the criminal's feelings
and they're like you know what
Because of that, I'm going to keep stealing.
I'm going to keep stealing things.
I'm mad at you.
So is this what they would describe, like, the people who are driving up their murder rate?
Just as impacted individuals, I can't.
This is crazy.
What if you're a drug dealer?
Someone said, are they going to be called unlicensed pharmacist?
Ooh.
What if you're, like, a kidnapper?
Surprise detainer.
This is saying.
This is all crazy.
This is crazy.
This is what they're doing, though.
I'm just waiting to see what else is next.
But that one lawmaker made a good point.
They have to change this on all their documents,
and that's not cheap because anything with the government isn't cheap.
If you have to change a document,
say maybe out in the real world that costs, you know, 25 cents.
But if it's the government, that's $2,500, thank you.
Because you've got to pay for the Rub-Goldberg machine of government workers
that do it for you.
I'm just the paper passer.
They hand me the paper and I pass the paper
to the other person who passes the paper to someone else.
They got to pay my salary.
That's who it is. That's how that works.
It's the Rube Goldberg machine of government employees
and then Biden forgives all their student loan.
It's craziness.
Now, speaking of when culture hits policy,
I got two other things here.
First, let me touch on this thing with this Kaylee Gaingirl,
15 years old since this is more of law and order.
So you guys remember,
the 15-year-old, the two girls that got to a fight in the street. And the attacker, Marnice de Klu,
versus Kelle again, Marnese de Kluo beat this girl senseless, sat on top of her and started
bashing her head into the ground like she was trying to split a rock. It was crazy. And then,
yeah, into the asphalt. And then another girl tacked.
Markleis Declue took her offer and then you could see Gaines seizing and it looked really bad.
So the 15 year old girl is not going to be charged as an adult now. The judge ruled.
I just think if you played adult games, you win adult prizes.
The 15 year old girl, the family has said, oh, no, no, no, she was, but she's been bullied.
What? The family has been out there trying to say that the girl she attacked is actually,
she's the mean girl. She's the much smaller girl that.
clearly judging by the video has never been a fight in and a fight in her life is the bully here
apparently we're to believe and so the other girl clearly knew how to fight and they charged her
with first degree assault she's been in the juvenile system they've been waiting to see if she's
going to be tried as an adult which she is now not she is not going to be tried as an adult
and they said it's because of the
because the smaller girl has been a bully previously.
I am not even, this is an actual true thing,
an actual true story.
They said that it's going to remain in the juvenile courts
because the girl is a serial bully.
The girl who had our headbeat into the ground was a serial bully.
That seems, that's a very dangerous decision to make
because this, I mean, there's no excuse for what, I don't care if the girl had been bullied before.
On video, she tried to kill this girl.
She tried to kill this girl.
There is no other way to look at it.
And if she had been a repeat bully or a serial bullier, where the hell was the school if it was that bad?
I don't believe it because she's smaller.
And in the video, clearly you could talk.
she had no idea how to defend herself.
I mean,
I,
there's no excuse for it, I think.
It,
I mean,
a manslaughter charge,
but,
or,
or attempted manslaughter.
But,
this does not,
to me,
this,
just makes it worse.
Because they're not even dealing with the problem of bullying.
What they're saying is,
oh, well, you know,
because the school did nothing about this for forever.
And, you know,
even if the girl was a serial,
bull or what the hell does that have to do with what's happened on the video? Because on the video
that girl was standing there and then she gets attacked, knocked to the ground and has her head
bashed in. And that girl did not stop. She did not stop. It took another girl running at her full
charge to knock her backwards. And you can sit here and say, well, it's a victim of a bully pushed
to the edge. She didn't hit her though. She didn't just hit her and she didn't just knock her down.
she permanently injured her.
She tried to kill her.
Now are we now making the argument that that's acceptable?
That that didn't go too far, that that's acceptable?
That that was okay.
Even if let's just take the argument as fact that she was bullied before that that's acceptable.
Even after that girl was incapacitated and no longer fighting back,
the girl, the antagonist, DeClew, kept at it.
even after her arms were splayed out down on her side and she clearly was not there anymore,
she kept bashing her head in the ground. There's no excuse for that. None. And I think the school also
needs to be investigated because for it, I mean, for it to go on that long, just awful. Now coming up,
one of the things we're going to talk about is this insane story from the Washington Free Beacon.
up to half of UCLA's medical students are now failing the basic tests of medical competence.
Former members of the admission staff have said we want racial diversity so badly we're willing to cut corners to get it.
Now remember, I was telling you about Hillsdale's their free speech digest called Imprimus.
They had a whole thing about this last month about how the medical boards are lowering entrance standards.
because they said that the practice of medicine is so rampant with racism that they have to lower standards because that's going to solve it somehow.
I don't even understand what that means.
But now we're seeing the fruits of that.
A failed medical school, racial preferences, which apparently we're supposed to be outlawed in California, have persisted so much at UCLA that half of their medical students are failing basic tests.
these are people that are going to be maybe operating you or treating on you one day.
What is going to happen in medical malpractice in this country?
What does all this DEI stuff?
How does that affect medical malpractice?
We're going to get into all of this and more here.
We got Florida Man.
It's his life mission to make bad decisions.
It's time for Florida Man.
WFLA.
A Florida man was arrested for threatening young children at a bus.
stop with a screwdriver. What in the world? Why are you people going to stop you like this? What?
No, no, no, not the drink, like an actual tool, like an implement. So is the WFLA says the Florida man's
facing several charges. He threatened two kids with a screwdriver at their bus stop on Monday. Kurt
Strzinski is accused of threatening the kids, demanded that they lay on the ground to show him
some respect, said an arrest affidavit that was obtained by WESH. Both children complied out of fear,
but they were able to report the incident.
Officers arrived at the scene.
Strzinski ignored the officers clear and concise demands
to stop being a psycho.
And then he got hit with a stun gun and detained.
They found the screwdriver.
He's charged with two counts of aggravated assault
with a deadly weapon without intent to kill,
two counts of false imprisonment
and of a child under 13
and resisting an officer without violence.
False imprisonment because you can't detain someone's movement.
That's what I keep telling people
who think that protesters have a right to be in the road.
No, they literally, that's literally a felony. That's a charge. Also, I got a whole other, where's this one? This is a crazy one. Okay, so this is, I don't even know what kind of, what kind of person were you raising that does this? So this Florida guy, Miami-Dade, a grown man through a temper tantrum in the store on Tuesday at Brand Smart, Brand-smart, USA store? Because the dad did not buy the,
42-year-old son what he wanted.
Christopher Rayonosa.
Yeah. He wanted this.
They didn't actually say what it was.
He said that the dad would not buy him what he wanted from the store.
So he spat on him and kicked him in the face.
He was arrested.
Bonn has not yet been set.
He looks like the bad guy who thought he was all that in that movie,
10 Things I Hate About You, but grown up and on drugs.
He looks like that.
guy. Anyway, can you imagine?
It's like some Hunter stuff. That's like some
Hunter-Biden level.
Like,
I don't really want to read this story here.
This is a bad one.
What did Wimpy and Papa
used to say about hamburgers cane?
Like, I'll gladly...
I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.
Okay. Well...
Oh, no.
Yeah.
How did you get this? I didn't send you this one.
No, no. You know who did?
It's an older one, but it's Ambron.
Florida woman Amber.
And when you get triple dog dare to read a story,
I feel like I've got to live up.
Dang it, Amber.
I feel like that's what she does.
One day I'm going to meet her in Florida.
Now, I'm not saying like threateningly anyway,
because she's like, how about this one?
And it'll be like double dog dare.
It's just funny.
So Pinellas Parkman,
he got busted trying to offer a female officer,
a hamburger,
for a good time.
Let's just put it like that.
Frank Capone,
propositioned a female officer
that he thought was a prostitute.
Authorities arrested him on the prostitution charge.
I love that this is literally a part of the story.
Quote, it's unclear what type of burger was allegedly offered.
It's probably my favorite part of the whole story is that.
Quarter pounder?
Yeah, I mean.
So apparently mangoes were launched,
61-year-old
Charles Lovkin
got into big trouble
he apparently had a run-in
with his neighbor
and they were throwing
mangoes and rocks
it sounds like a Super Meyer
Brothers thing
they were throwing
mangoes and rocks
at each other
because according to
WPLG
Lovkin said
his neighbor was gay
I don't even understand
this is so
this is hysterical
so this it's a
browward meaning he
threw mangoes
at the neighbor
because he thought
he was gay
North Long
Lauderdale man now charged with hate crimes. So apparently what happened is on Sunday, Charles Lovkin got up to ask about a mango that had fallen onto the side of his patio and made a loud noise. Lovkin owns a mango tree. And then Lovkin became enraged at the man and started calling him gay. And then Lumpkin then grabbed two mangoes and threw them at his neighbor. One missed. The other hit him in the chest. Then he started throwing rocks at the victim and the victim dodged it. And then deputies arrived at the
the scene and I swear to you hands to sky. This is literally what he said. Quote, well, I threw the
mangoes at him because I thought he was gay. And according to, this is Local 10. This is the news.
They go, this is what they write. According to the report, the victim is married to a woman and has
children. So not gay. And the victim is also taking blood thinners. I guess it's important to know.
So Lovekin is in the Broward County Jail on aggravated assault with a deadly weapon of mango,
battery causing bodily harm
Oh my gosh committing a third degree felony
With evidence of prejudice
And committing a first degree misdemeanor
With evidence of prejudice
He's being held on a $15,000 bond
Mango's were thrown
Because he thought
Because he said the guy was gay
I mean
I can't even
So yeah he and he
He was very
At least he was very honest about it
And the neighbor goes
Well I was very freaked out
Because I'm on blood thinners
Does that have anything to do with that?
this all story is so crazy
on Monday actually Tuesday when we're back from
Memorial Day I'm going to tell you about the mayor
the mayor of Canada arrested for armed robbery third hour next
so my friends we should feel optimistic
about this reality
this transition is absolutely going to happen
and the election of any president
in my country or finance minister
or anybody else is not
going to change what the marketplace has already decided to do. The marketplace understands
this transition is already happening. It has to happen. We have to speed it up. And I think
that's the one thing that we should feel most confident about. We know, it's not. That's a,
who the hell is that, who is he going on saying this stuff? John Kerry? Like, why does he get
why is he going on saying this stuff? Who are you to do this?
A ketchup pie.
Yeah, he's got all that sugar on the ketchup that his wife's husband's family did.
Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you.
We're at the top of our third hour.
Because he's not an, is he like an official?
Was he ever confirmed by the Senate?
No.
He wasn't.
So why is he going out doing all this acting like he's part of the administration being a climate czar?
Who is you?
Lurch, who is you?
Why are you going out there doing all this stuff?
God, Lee, can we not get rid of him?
A story broke last night that could possibly do it because this is like with a capital T trader type moves.
I put this in Slack earlier, but apparently he had petitioned the FBI behind the scenes to ignore terrorists on U.S. soil because he had a deal with Iran.
I'm not surprised by any of this.
And he didn't have to do it.
It doesn't have to do any of those things to appease Iran in any way.
but he chose to, on American soil, to do it.
And the FBI granted his wish.
They granted his wish.
How nice.
That's not the, he's always wanted to be an old money statesman and he's not.
Although, didn't he come from the Forbes family?
Did he?
I think so.
But like adjacent, not like a direct.
And then he married his wife, who her first husband was super wealthy.
the Heinz family, the catch-up family.
And they apparently, that's how he got his, that's how he got his money.
So he flies around on, you know, her jets and all this other stuff.
And he pretends to be a statesman.
Does he even actually pull a salary?
I mean, I ask all of this because when he, I mean, when he was part of the Obama-Biden
administration, and he's stopping our bureau, our FBI.
from detaining Iranian terrorists on American soil so he can negotiate that stupid non-binding
Iran nuclear deal. You, that's, that's treason. That's treasonous. You are aiding
geopolitical foe and endangering American citizens. And you're not, you're not, that's not a
negotiation. That's a surrender. You are immediately giving up.
American security to pretend that you're negotiating for something with a hostile foreign entity?
John Kerry should not, I loathe John Kerry. There are few politicians that I actually get a spark in
my gut from hatred, and he's one of them. I do not, I loathe this cretness man. He's not a man.
He's a meat sack. I can't stand him. He's, he's married for married money, and,
He is one of the most moronic people I've ever seen.
He's high off his own supply.
Can't stand the guy.
And I have no idea why he's going out talking to anybody about anything at this point.
Now, his blocking of these arrests according to, well, it was what, free beacon?
Several.
Several different ones.
National review.
He was blocking, one report said he was blocking their arrest all the way through the end of the Obama administration.
And then another was saying that he was trying to advise even, uh,
I guess like leniency, especially as we see stuff at the southern border with regards to any Iranian nationals so that they could reestablish this post-Trump.
Just absolutely stunning.
Stunning.
And then the story that we were talking about earlier with Hunter Biden and how the head of the IRS investigation,
was called to Langley by an assistant U.S. attorney and told, in no uncertain terms, do not use
Hunter Biden's Sugar Brother, the guy that has been bankrolling him, to not use Kevin Morris as a
witness. They said he was off limits, even though he is absolutely a key part of this tax case,
because he's given Hunter Biden millions of dollars to pay for his lifestyle. And he's bought
his stupid paintings and everything.
They were told, you may not use him as a witness.
Why?
And I'm just, I'm curious because I feel like this is a question we're never going to get an
answer to unless we win.
And then the people who are in charge of the CIA or the DOJ, particularly, can make
it possible to answer those questions.
But it just seems like the, and this is a New York Post piece, it just seems like, is he
an asset? Because they're acting as though he's an asset. These whistleblowers, Joe Ziegler and Gary
Shappley that we were just talking about, 100 pages of bombshell evidence per New York Post that
in the sworn testimony that Hunter Biden gave in February, obviously he lied. So Houseways and Means,
they were looking at perjury charges. And then they added the document that makes it look like
that, you know, the guy, again, the Hollywood attorney, Kevin Morris on his balcony with his bong,
that he is at least being protected by the CIA for some reason.
Because they went to see it.
When I say they were summoned to Langley,
they were summoned to CIA headquarters in Langley
by the U.S. assistant attorney and told to leave him alone.
They were told, nah, uh, he's persona non grata.
You don't talk to him.
You're not allowed to use him as a witness.
Why?
That's a million dollar question.
I mean, why would you shut that down?
What other possible motive would you have for
shutting that down.
This is all very,
very stunning.
Very stunning.
A lot of shady stuff going on here.
Or maybe, and it may be, because,
I know some people might initially think, well,
maybe he was a CIA asset on behalf of, you know,
watching the Bidens, or maybe it's just
they're protecting the Bidens.
I'm inclined to believe the latter, considering the
moves that different bureaucratic agencies have made
against everyday Americans simply asking questions.
You know, I'm just pointing out the obvious here.
But just it's absolutely stunning.
Lorraine notes that John Kerry's climate office,
he makes over four,
apparently it costs all of us over $4 million a year.
And he spends, he hands out six-figure salaries
and doesn't give anybody names.
There's no transparency at all whatsoever.
in any of this.
But yeah, he, it's a, it costs us, it costs us some money.
We are charged quite a bet.
Six figure salaries.
Boston Herald has this piece.
Six figure salaries to all but one loan policy analyst in his office.
And he's not transparent with it.
So he must be a foreign registered agent, right?
He's a, he's a registered then agent for sure.
Well, if he's, if he's,
advocating on behalf of a foreign entity.
Yeah.
I mean, it seems like he's advocated on behalf of Iran, right?
Yes, that's what I mean.
So he would be, he should be registered under the foreign.
I mean, isn't that what they got Manafort for?
It seems like, you know, just consistency.
Consistency's key here.
It seems like that would be helpful.
Yeah, he blocked the arrests.
Now, think about this.
I mean, this was during the whole deal,
the Iranian nuclear, which they were trying to act like was a treaty, but they really wasn't.
It's that, what is it, the J-PAC, the joint comprehensive plan of action.
And the whistleblowers gave this to Republicans, because clearly Democrats aren't going to do anything about it.
Yeah, they were, Iran was trying to acquire nuclear weapons and they wanted to raise, they wanted to deal with Iran's defense.
At least that's the cover story.
I just don't know how you stop people.
from gaining nuclear capability by assisting their means in doing so, like gratuitously assisting
them, making sure that they are just completely flush with cash, there are no restrictions,
there's no sanctions, nothing. The FBI agents include a 2015 email exchange, or they included
an email exchange between two agents that shows one telling the other that the agency would have
to conclude its negotiations first, that Obama Biden would have to conclude. That Obama Biden would have to
conclude their negotiations with Iran first before they could even think about arresting the Iranian
nationals that were operating within the U.S. terrorists here, but we needed to make sure that Iran was
happier. We needed to make sure they were happy before we did anything. Terrorists were here in the
United States, but we couldn't do anything because we needed to make sure that Iran was happy.
Whose interests are being best represented here? Sure hell isn't ours. I wanted to switch gears and
play this audio for you because can you imagine you know you got all the end of year stuff you've got
you know the award ceremonies people are graduating lots of stuff happening now imagine you know your mom
at your school gets up starts throwing a fit because you her child did not get an award now the way
that I understood this is that parents were told that if their kids were getting an award they would
get an invitation to this award ceremony. The mom, the kid did not get an award. They did not
get an invitation to the award ceremony. She showed up anyway and was mad. But imagine, again,
peak America, guys. This is audio sound by 26. This was in Atlanta just the other day. A mom loses
it because her kid didn't get an award. Hey, ladies and I apologize what we're seeing right now.
But mom, I told me. I told me. I told me. Mom. Mama.
Mama.
Mama.
We can look at it.
Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize.
I apologize.
Boys and girls.
I am.
My gosh.
Because you're going to single these kids out.
Well, yeah, they did great things and they should get awards.
Can you imagine how humiliated her child must have felt?
And she screamed at her kid, let's go, as they stormed out.
I mean, I got to tell you, I had an instance where my son, who one of my children is a, I mean, both my kids are good kids.
My youngest is a very type A overachiever.
And there was an award ceremony.
His brother was at an event.
My husband was out of state.
And it was this award ceremony that, for my youngest school.
and he got all these awards.
Like he got Honor Society and he got, you know, Latin scholar and all this other stuff, right?
All these awards.
But he wanted this particular, he coded, he created something out of code for art class.
And he thought it was very unique in that there wasn't anything that was related to computer code that was also applicable in art.
And he apparently won this like jury prize at this art competition.
So he thought he was going to get first place at this thing for his school.
and as they were calling everything out, all the awards out, he, I mean, he's loaded with medals and ribbons at this point.
They didn't call his name. And we were sitting on the end and my son gets up and he was in, I think, seventh grade.
He gets up and he's, or seventh, eighth grade. And he's like, I'm done. I'm leaving.
Gets up and walks out of the auditorium to go to the parking lot. And I'm sitting there thinking, oh, my gosh, this is new. Okay.
So I, you know, very quietly get up because the thing is still going on.
go out to get him and he is very upset and he's mad and I'm having this big conversation with him.
I'm like, you're being humbled right now because look at all these awards that you got and you've
thought about yourself and you should have been congratulating your friends and, you know,
and I'm laying down the law and I'm like telling him he's got to be aware of his actions.
And I'm feeling really good about myself, by the way, like, you know, presenting this lesson to him
because it was like very biblically sound.
And, you know, walk him off that cliff, you know, so to speak.
We're in the car going home and I'm like, you need to apologize to your friends who are still there waiting for their awards.
congratulated you. You need to be encouraging towards them, you know, et cetera. And, you know, he's
eaten his humble pie. And he finally was like, you know what, you're right. By the time we got home,
he talked to his dad on the phone. And it was in the evening and I get a call from one of his
best friend's dad's. And he said, oh, they made a huge mistake at this award ceremony. And I go,
what do you mean? He's like, oh, a huge mistake. His name was on the other side of the piece of
paper. They had this big thing they were going to give him. I'm like, oh my gosh. I'm like, can you
keep it? I'm like, can you
not bring it to my house? Because I literally just
had like the best lesson with this kid. And he
has like seen himself right. And he's like, well, no, he already saw some in your
driveway. I'm like, oh my gosh.
That kid with his smug grin.
Anyway, but you got to write that. And as a parent,
you can't be the one doing that.
And now, all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick Five.
So I don't know if you guys saw, but Media Matters has announced
some major layoffs, all of their sad little reporters
over at Media Matters has been going through all of their
layoff announcements. All I have to say in response
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Moving on.
It's headlines, you know, it's all about being
being professional.
But it is. That was actually hysterical.
I don't know what they're going to do because they don't sell
ads. It's all like private donor money.
Oh, let's see. Those rows.
Oh, we were talking about the CIA that blocked the probe
and a hundred Biden's stuff. We got into that.
Also, oh, where's this?
I want to pull this up close up. I got time.
Apparently it was World Goth Day yesterday,
which is a lie, because no self-respecting
Goth would put World Goth Day in May
when it's sunnier and warmer.
Fail. That is a fail.
The new Beetlejuice sequel is out.
The trailer is out. The official one of that
is out and that's all we got we got riley gains coming up next stick with us
craving a daily dose of intellectual adrenaline look no further than the danishow podcast where
curiosity meets courage by following on apple spotify or wherever you get your podcasts
with uh with so many women just want staff here and in the building if i mean his comments
kind of touched on women the workforce i mean what do you tell them if they come to you with
concern about clear speaking ill of you know women in general yeah that hasn't
happen. I don't think you're speaking ill to women, but he has his opinions, and we all respect that.
I let you guys in this room, and you have a lot of opinions that I don't like.
I mean, you can't say it better than that. That's coach of Kansas City Chiefs, Andy Reid.
He's defending Harrison Bucker because, you know, Bucker's getting a lot of, I don't quite
understand it. It's like people didn't listen to what he said. He's getting a lot of criticism for
the commencement speech that he gave at Benedictine College. We've talked about it over the
past few days. But I love that his teammates now, you have Mahomes that came out in defense of him.
You have the coach that came out in defense of him. And as they should. And I'm happy about this.
But it's weird to see women getting angrier at that than they were over the fact that you have
women being shuttled out of positions on sports teams across the country at every level of
competition. But they're mad at Harrison Bucker because he was defending them and had harsh words for
men who don't. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with us, you can listen coast to coast.
you can watch a simulcast of the radio program as well.
Joining me now, she tweeted about this too.
Riley Gaines, who is the author of Swimming Against the Current Fighting for Common Sense
in a World that Lost Its Mind.
It's actually just out right now.
It's just out this week.
Congratulations, Riley, and thanks for being here.
Of course, Dana.
Thank you so much for having me on.
Of course.
You retweeted this.
Did that kind of surprise you the pushback that Bucker got considering the situation that you
and other athletes have found themselves in?
I mean, you're fighting to just be represented in competition.
And he is actually supporting women.
And they criticized him for it.
You make a phenomenal point.
And I hadn't really thought of it in that way.
But the same people who are criticizing Harrison Bucker are the same people who are advocating for men to infiltrate into our sports, into our locker rooms, into our sororities, into our prisons.
Senator Ted Cruz had had some phenomenal.
questioning yesterday and the US Senate on that topic.
It's mind blowing.
And I thought it was pretty good that this reporter said,
oh, you're, you know, he speaks ill of women.
If you watch his commencement speech,
he was in tears speaking about his wife,
how wonderful his wife is, how he celebrates his wife,
how what she accomplishes and what she does
in her everyday role as a mom and as a wife is phenomenal
and something that only women,
can do. That's not speaking ill of women. So I could not have been more excited to see coach Andy Reid,
Patrick Mahomes. I'm sure there are several other of his teammates who defended him. And what I thought
was beautiful was they said, look, we've known this guy for years, seven years, Patrick Mahomes said.
And he said, I know his character. And that's something that the media has not reported on this,
which I think speaks volumes to the team, the leadership on that team. And of course, to Harrison Butker.
You mentioned we're talking with Riley Gaines. Her new book Out Swimming Against the Current is out this week.
Senator Ted Cruz, it was a hearing that involved prison, incarceration. And we've talked about this
before on this program as it relates to California. We've had some women's advocacy groups. It's
weird how you find common ground with some of the groups that you find common ground with. And I was
really frankly stunned, Riley, at some of the stories that I heard from these advocates talking
about women who are imprisoned. And then there are men who say, you know what, we feel like
identifying, you know, right at the start of their trial, we feel like identifying as a woman.
they're like repeat rapists, you know, serial rapists.
And they're going to be housed with the women because of how they identify.
They don't have to do any, no surgery, no other evidence, nothing, just their words,
because now we're trusting rapists now.
But this is, it's not, I mean, it's not anecdotal.
It's like happening all over California, not just California, but now this is being adopted
through the prison system.
And you made, you made a point, because you really like Ted Cruz's response to this.
What are your thoughts on that?
because this goes far beyond sports now.
Oh, of course it does.
Yeah, to your point, I mean, this is happening in regard to what's happening in prisons.
It's happening in New York, Indiana, New Jersey, Ohio, Kansas, of course, in California.
You know, in California in recent weeks, there were over 1,600 men applied to be women to get into women's prisons.
Most of these men, as you said, serial rapists convicted of some of the most heinous, awful crum.
that being sexual crimes, kidnapping, child pornography.
And they're getting in to these women's prisons.
You know what they did?
On Super Bowl Sunday, these correctional officers in California
worked overtime, locked in overtime hours
to go into these all women's facilities
and install condom dispensers and dental dams.
So not only now allowing for sexual intercourse in prisons,
which is supposed to be, I mean, that's not supposed to be,
I mean, that's not supposed to happen.
It's almost as if they're encouraging this.
And it's because they installed these condoms,
because these condom dispensers,
because HIV and AIDS are now running rampant in women's prisons
because these male inmates who are formerly at male institutions
have contracted HIV and AIDS and now are spreading it through women's facilities.
Women are being impregnated by these men.
It's heartbreaking is what it is.
So they go through, they go through the trial.
They're serving their sentence.
they're taking their penalty for the crimes that they committed.
But I never at any point has it ever,
and now they're just supposed to assume that they're going to be sexually violated,
almost that it's as if it's this unspoken condition of penalty
that they have to endure this.
And the sad thing is many of these women are victims of some sort of domestic violence
previously in their past life when they were able to roam free.
And now they're being traumatized in that same way by these men.
And the most, I mean, the craziest thing to me about this hearing yesterday on Capitol Hill
was this was a hearing for the federal judges.
This judge that Ted Cruz, Senator Kennedy had some awesome questioning.
Senator Lee did as well.
This judge that they were questioning is who Biden nominated to be a federal district court judge
of the Southern District of New York.
That's who he nominated.
This woman should be nowhere near a court.
She should be imprisoned alongside this man
if that's what she thinks is truly fair.
Yeah, fair, exactly.
We're talking with Riley Gaines,
her new book, Out Swimming Against the Current.
I wanted to talk to you about this
because everybody knows your story,
I think you really,
especially as it relates to women in sports,
I don't really think there was a lot of national discussion
until you stepped out
and really sacrificed, you know, quite a lot.
You were really viciously attacked by a lot of people
and it was incredibly shameful to see
just to stand up for the integrity of women's competitions.
And there was a part in your book
because you get really personal in this
that I was unaware of.
I did track and field and soccer throughout school.
We didn't even have a swimming team in my high school.
And so I was completely unfamiliar.
You had a piece in here early on,
a portion of your book
where you're talking about the suits
that you wear and how really constraining they are for, you know, obviously for reasons to reduce
drag, all this other stuff. But you paint a very clear picture of how, you know, there's no
modesty in the locker room. And you're in there and you're squirming to get in your suit and
everything's just open to the world, you know, at least in the locker room. And you still had to do
that even with Leah Thomas, a man who you were saying is like really six four is in there with you.
that, I mean, I actually stopped reading it at that point, and I just, I couldn't believe that you all were subject.
There was a lot that people didn't know, Riley, a lot that people didn't know.
That is, I mean, that's insane that you were having to do that in front of a man and there was no explanation ever made to you.
No one ever went in and said, ladies, we have a man who's going to be on the team now.
He's going to be in the locker room.
No one ever set you all up for anything but failure with that.
No, you're entirely right.
And not only did they not forewarn us that this would be the arrangement, they told us that we were the problem if we opposed this.
They told us that we were the bigots.
We had to go to psychological services seriously to train ourselves to be okay with this.
Reeducation services, of course, provided through none other than the LGBTQ education centers on campus.
And yeah, to your point.
And I want you to put your daughter, you know, put yourself in our shoes, but more importantly, put your daughter in our shoes.
Swimming locker room is not a place of modesty.
These suits, as you said, you're racing suits that you put on.
It takes about 20 minutes to really poke and pride yourself into these suits, 20 minutes of which you're fully exposed.
You have your back turned, again, putting on this suit.
And all of a sudden you hear a man's voice in that changing space.
And you turn around and you look up.
And there's a six foot four, 22 year old man fully intact, fully naked, fully exposing himself
inches away from where you were simultaneously undressing.
It's feelings of, I mean, it was feelings of betrayal.
It was feelings of utter violation.
It was traumatizing, really.
And not even necessarily traumatizing because of what we were forced to see or how we were
forcibly exploited.
It was traumatizing for me to know just how easy it was for those people who,
who created and enforced these policies to totally dismiss our rights to privacy without even a
second thought, without even bare minimum forewarning us that this would be the arrangement.
You're shamed for your own instincts of self-protection, and it seems like women are being rewired
for that.
And that's the common theme that we see across the board.
I was just at SUNY Cortland, a college in New York.
I was speaking on their campus, and I went to the restroom.
and I was appalled.
Again, a college campus,
to see what was staring back at me on the bathroom stall door,
it says it was a flyer.
And this flyer says,
do you feel like someone is using the wrong bathroom?
Do not stare at them.
Do not challenge them.
Do not insult them.
Do not purposefully make them feel uncomfortable.
Do respect their privacy.
Do respect their identity.
And do carry on with your day.
And I sat there and I read this and I thought to myself, you know, I mean, what's what's really the underlying message here?
And my husband was with me and I told him to go check the men's restroom.
Of course, this flyer was not in the men's restroom.
But in thinking about what they were really saying, just as you said, Dana, what they're telling you to do is ignore your gut instincts.
Don't believe what your eyes are telling you or what your ears are hearing.
Let your guard down, shut up and pull your pants down anyways.
That's the mess I got from this flyer in this bathroom.
It's shameful.
And it's always been more than just about competition and sports.
It really is.
I mean, it is about that.
I mean, it's a subjugation of women.
And it's making us forget our instincts and protecting ourselves.
It's horrible.
And you've been leading the fight on this and getting a lot of flak for it.
And we appreciate you doing it because it's for all, everybody's daughters and sons.
The book, Swimming Against the Current, Fighting for Common Sense in a world that's lost its mind.
It's a very, very, very honest, transparent book.
And I'm sure it wasn't easy to write some of the stuff that you did,
but I think it's necessary so people can really fully understand what's at stake here.
Riley Gaines, congratulations on the book.
Keep fighting the good fight.
And it's good to talk with you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
Take care.
Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts,
because knowledge is your ultimate superpower.
This song brings me joy.
You know what else brings me joy, brethren?
The cries and lamentations of all of the unemployed media matters for America,
fart bags that have nowhere to go now because they're being laid off.
They're all being laid off.
What is to become of George Soros's lotion brigade?
I don't know.
They were sued by Elon Musk.
They got sued by Missouri's Attorney General Andrew Bailey because they were making
social media platforms lose money. They were helping to censor people on behalf of the federal
government. They were pushing to manipulate the algorithms to create bad images next to
falsely align and misrepresent how things were showing up on social media. And now
the entity that literally has, they try to act like the ombudsman for all the press,
They're funded by Soros far left activists.
Now they're having to lay people off.
Oh, my gosh.
What are you going to go to now?
Who is going to hire someone?
Who's going to hire, you know, over-inflated fart bags that have no other perceivable skill except to cherry-pick confirmation bias content from social media?
Oh, no.
I hear there's some meme openings.
Maybe, yeah.
Maybe they can all get a job as me makers for Biden.
You know, maybe they can all work as baristas for star butts.
I don't know.
Maybe.
Learn to code.
I don't know.
Maybe they can do a million things.
These people, Media Matters has hated me for years.
They try to get me fired when I was at CNN.
They try to get me kicked off the view.
They try to pull this show off air so many times.
They had an actual reporter that they paid to follow me around to every public event
that I went to.
I know his last name was Strupp.
I know because I met him.
I confronted him and I met him.
He followed me to New York when I gave his speech.
He followed me to D.C.
This guy followed me everywhere.
He's probably laid off too.
Well, yeah, he left for a long time.
I used to give him so much garbage.
I was like, why won't they let you unionize, my man?
I'm like, why don't they let you unionize?
Man, what a, you know, it's such a bummer, right?
And now they're laying off people.
I have, normally, guys, I get very new testament about Schadenfreude.
But I'm not right now because they deserve it.
I don't feel bad for them. I celebrate their laid off. Go live in an alley and eat crickets and bug meat and live in the desert. I don't care. So that's a great. Great way to start this extended weekend. A quick programming note. We are going to be back on air on Tuesday. I was only, I think I was going to take off just Monday because it would be Memorial Day. We think those who've, remember those who sacrificed for our country. The staff was like, and also Friday?
and maybe Friday.
So, yes, we're on Friday as well.
But then we're going to be back full force on Tuesday, just so you're aware.
So this is a great way to go to roll into our weekend, right?
A very great way to roll into our weekend.
Before I take too much time enjoying it a little much, I'm going to stop.
Today's stupidity game.
Apparently their vision of media didn't matter.
Oh, it didn't.
It didn't.
It mattered at all.
Anyway, here is Kamala Harris, just like all of the left, being racist.
This is audio cut 8 one.
Watch this.
A lot of my work around access to capital has focused on young men of color, black men,
and black men, knowing that, again, so many entrepreneurs.
And it's, it's, you know, when people think black men and small businesses,
it's not, it's not just a barbershop.
That's not what, that's not what people think.
That's not what people thinking, oh, my gosh, could you be more racist?
How do they get away with it all the time?
I just don't, I don't understand.
But it's our media.
It's stupid.
Yeah, and there it is.
does it for us for this week. We will be back behind the mic all together on Tuesday. Find us at
Substack, Facebook, YouTube, like and subscribe. And we give those who thanks to sacrifice for us
Memorial Day. God bless. Back with you Tuesday.
