Starting point is 00:00:00 I thought it was hysterical, the little visit that they had here. And he was arguing back and forth as Jerome Powell in the press conference. Am I, I don't, dare I say, I don't want to be, like, sensitive about it. But it seemed rude, right? Did that seem rude, Kane? No, no, no, of Powell. Oh, yeah, of course of Powell. I was like, dude, slow your role.
Starting point is 00:00:27 It's cut one. We can play cut one. Can we play this? because they went back and forth a little bit. And I watched this a couple of times because I'm like, Dina, you're just being a brat. You're just being, you're just focusing on. You're like trying to perceive insubordination
Starting point is 00:00:40 where it's not there. No, I feel like I'm vindicated. Watch this. This is wild. So we're taking a look, and it looks like it's about $3.1 billion. It went up a little bit. Or a lot. So the 2.7 is now 3.1.
Starting point is 00:00:57 He's not aware of that. Yeah, it just came out. Yeah, I haven't heard that from anybody to fed. Yeah, it's just good. Arden knows that at about 3.1 as well. 3.1, 3.2. This came from us? Yes.
Starting point is 00:01:14 I don't know who does that. You're including the Martin renovation. You just added it in a third building is what that is. That's a third building. It's a building that's being built. No, it was built five years ago. We finished Martin five years ago. It's part of the overall.
Starting point is 00:01:34 So we're going to take a look. We're going to see what's happening. And it's got a long way. Do you expect any more additional cost of loans? Don't expect them. We're ready for them. But we have a little bit of a reserve that we may use. But no, we don't.
Starting point is 00:01:51 We expect to be finished in 2007. We're well along, as you can see. Nice to take these off every once in a while when we're not under too much danger. I love it. I mean, he was like, no, no, no, that's, he kept arguing back and forth with him on stuff. And he was saying, well, you know, this is, this is the, yeah, but we're talking about the renovations. Can't correct me. Like, why is Jerome Powell trying to make us all feel like we're high and confused?
Starting point is 00:02:19 It's Dan Patrick's worst nightmare. I think that is the goal when it comes to an unelected agency, like the Fed. They'd like to keep you confused, so you don't understand what's actually going on. But what he's doing intentionally is trying to make the price test. look lower by not including the entire project itself. So what Trump's doing is just saying, no, this entire project is now 3.1. Because even though you say you built this building...
Starting point is 00:02:45 You know what Jerome Powell just did? I don't mean to interrupt you. Judge me on this analysis, Kane. And the rest of you, like, particularly the chat and rumble. By the way, our chats and rumble, Channel 347 is the stream of the radio program. He just did wife math.
Starting point is 00:03:00 What? Would you like me to illustrate? I would. Okay. He did wife meth. So hear me out. Hear me out. Let me make this make sense for you.
Starting point is 00:03:11 Wives, I'm not indicting you. Don't come at me. I don't need the pitchforks. The jig is not up. So if I see like things that I kind of need on sale, like so for instance, because you guys know I like to cook and I needed, there were certain accoutrements. I'm going to bring the tugboat to shore. Bear with me.
Starting point is 00:03:31 It's Friday. There's certain accoutrements. that I needed, correct? So I needed like some, because I like to use like the silicone tongs and especially if it's like a steel cook where I'll use like a steel tong to stir instead of like spatulas and things like that. I just think it's more precise. Anyway, I needed some new things because I've had them for, you know, 10 years is a long time.
Starting point is 00:03:53 So I'm like, eh, I need to get some new stuff. Sir La Tabla, which is fun for people in the burbs to say. Surla tabla. Or William Sonoma. They had like a sale, right? a sale going on, right? Usually like, you know, Memorial Day, you get a sale on things, right? I'm like, oh my gosh, I could get four for the price of two. I really needed one, but I could get four for the price of two. So that's what I did. My husband's like, you needed one thing. I'm like, but yes,
Starting point is 00:04:24 listen here. Maybe it was a little more so I could get the sale price. Four for two instead of just the one, just bump it up a bit. That sale price though, right? Right? Had to get that sale price the four for the two. And he's looking at me and he's like, you realize that you're still telling me that you spent more for the four for two when you really needed the one. I'm like, yes, but he's like, yeah, but I just, I'm like, yeah, but the sale price though. So that is Jerome Powell. wife math. By the way, I am completely in the right on this. Four for two. That's a great sales price. I don't care if I had to pay it like $10. I don't care.
Starting point is 00:05:11 Four for two. You know what I'm saying? Come on. You just like Jerome Powell. It's a sale price. That's what he should have done. He was like right on the cusp of doing wife math. It's a sale price. It's your scenario that you just described is exactly how it was
Starting point is 00:05:25 minus the sale. Okay, yeah. So that part. There was no sale. I'm a little more of, vindicated. He's actually, it's like if you count, like say you had to buy two to get two free, you only counted the one that you bought,
Starting point is 00:05:41 not the other one to get the other two for free. So you're like, oh, I bought this one and got this one for free. When in fact you didn't, that's the wife math, I think that Jerome Powell's doing. That's what he's doing. I recognize that trick. And I sat back, I did one of these. It was like, oh, you're using our tricks, I see.
Starting point is 00:06:00 I don't like that because, you know, it exposes all of us. So that means an enemy to us ladies on a couple of different fronts. So, but that was a very interesting little back and forth that they had there, a little tete-a-tat that was. And it just seemed why he was so sassy with him. Trump was nice and jovial and he's like, yeah, you know, maybe he can lower these rates. He said it a couple of times.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Maybe he can lower these rates, you know, just maybe. And I don't know. I just, it just seemed really, you know, honestly, the, I don't know, I just felt like it was rude. I felt that it was rude. Maybe I'm wrong, but I felt like it was rude. By the way, Lorraine just confirmed it was 100% girl math. I stand vindicated. I do have cyber.
Starting point is 00:06:52 I do have those five tongs. They're glorious because I used both of them the other day when I was cooking. When I was doing a matrosiana because I had him like guan chale, and then I had my noodle. I was so totally I was you I used two of them. I feel vindicated. I'm like and I made a point to tell Chris I'm like I look at this couldn't have done this without that sale price. Totally Jerome paled him. Can we not call it girl math anymore? Can we call it Jerome Powell math? Yeah, we feel like we should ladies because we're looking out for them sale prices. You know how I'm feeling about this. You know where we're at. You know where it's all the men are like dear heavens.
Starting point is 00:07:28 Stop validating this. Fed math. Fed math. Yeah. Oh, it's Fed Math now. Ladies, we don't say girl math. We don't say wife math. That's Fed Math now. It's official. Can you please mark that in the book of rule so that it's canonical for the show? Thank you. We need to make that. We'll send it to Pam at HR just to make sure that it fully gets into the scrolls. You guys don't know we have Dana Show Scrolls. We do. We need to put it in the scroll book there. It's in the cave where the dwarves guard it. I mean like Lord of the Rings dwarves. Don't send me hate mail. All right. So. Friday, it's weird. One of the things we need to talk about, and I've been watching this with some interest, and I was watching this a little bit last night. We're going to talk more about it coming up. France stabbing the United States in the back. They just recognized a fictitional place as a country.
Starting point is 00:08:16 Right? Hamas's, quote-unquote, Palestine, which, again, is a country that never existed. It's an ethnicity that never existed. It was actually a name given by Hadrian to spite the, the Jews after the second Judean uprising. And he named him after one of their worst enemies at the time, except really they had left 200 years prior to that second Judean uprising. And they were seafaring people from Crete, Philistino. So they, they, he, so that's, it's a play on that. But it was a spite name. It was a troll name. It's not something that is supported by
Starting point is 00:08:52 thousands of years of antiquity, whether it's Islamic Christian or otherwise. Anyway, France has made a move to recognize them. now the pressure is on the UK very interesting stuff we're going to talk about this coming up we're also going to get into some immigration issues we got a lot so oh my gosh we're already at what

Starting point is 00:12:45 impaired on the intellect front. And so I can only presume that she is doing this intentionally, intentionally mischaracterizing, misrepresenting, and lying about what she has found. Okay, so I'm not the biggest Gabbard fan, but what, but I do. dislike John Brennan with the burning passion of a thousand sons because he's a redacted, redacted line redacted. That's why. Happy Friday. Dana Lash with you. We're at the bottom of this. First hour. That's right. It's Friday. It's hot. It's hot here. It makes your brain slow. So like I said, I'm not her biggest fan. I've been critical of her. But to say she's a liar about this stuff. I'm sorry. Have a million seats. Y'all, we got some receipts up in here. We got
Starting point is 00:13:26 receipts. I've gone over this all week in case anyone missed it. You had the Hillary Clinton campaign and the DNC that had to pay fines. You had a FISA judge that literally resigned before they got fired over this stuff. That doesn't happen if someone's lying. That doesn't happen if the information's false. It doesn't happen that way. Stop it. I get so aggravated with these people. It's correct.
Starting point is 00:13:54 It's absolutely correct. And how many times this guy perjured himself? You know, they were spying on you, right? I hope the intel agencies really enjoyed all those crochet patterns I looked at, especially the ones that were in like Vietnamese and, you know,
Starting point is 00:14:12 Mandarin. I couldn't, I was trying to replicate them. Had to watch these videos over and over again so I could watch the hand patterns. That's what you saw. Hope you're happy. Or when I was looking for sale prices, Kane, on them, kitchen accoutrements. That's correct. Just all, it's absolutely, it's correct. All of this stuff
Starting point is 00:14:34 is correct. Here's another thing to look at. So, Frans decided that they're going to recognize Hamas's Ghazan state. I don't say the word Palestine because it's a fake word. Oh, people can get mad. If they send me hate mail, I'm going to slather it with pork and I'm just going to just fire some buckshot through it. So don't even try me. Actually, I'm in a great mood. as I told Kane. I feel real chill today. It's very unusual because I'm born for a storm. So when I get real chill, I just I don't know what to do. It gets real weird. But yeah, this, this though is frustrating. So they're the first G7 nation to do this. This is why this stands out. Emmanuel Macron has said that France is going to recognize quote unquote Palestinian statehood. And again, just a history reminder. It doesn't exist. Palestine is a fake thing. It's fake. like assault weapons and Bigfoot. Actually, I think Bigfoot might be more real than the Palestinian state.
Starting point is 00:15:35 It's a fictional place. It's a fictional ethnicity. It's a fictional people. It's a fictional culture. It was a name that was given to the Jews in the area, to that area specifically by Hadrian out of spite. Again, Second Judean uprising. After this happened, he says like, well, okay, all right, so we're just going to name it Philistina. After some
Starting point is 00:15:56 people who were your absolute arch enemy, although they left the area 200 years prior to this, but still, we're going to do that much of a throwback and name the area after that. They were seafaring people from Crete. So that's where the name came from. And again, not supported by thousands of years of either Islamic or Christian antiquity. So G7 now, France is done. I'm sorry, Paris is done. France rural on the outskirts up in Normandy, that's still France.
Starting point is 00:16:25 but parents looks like an absolute fecal hole. It does. I've always wanted to go for the food and architecture. I love Rococo. I love the architecture of Hausman, the guy who basically redesigned all of Paris, and that's why you have this similarity, this uniformity with the rooftops.
Starting point is 00:16:46 I get really into the architecture of it. That being said, there's no way in how I'm going to go over there. This, now you have 146 countries that have recognized. it. Now remember, this area, which I call Gaza, this statehood, the leading power is Hamas. They were democratically elected by a landslide. And what's more, there are not one, not two, but three separate surveys done by three separate entities. Yes, one of them is Hamas media. Yes. But one of one was Ajance France Press. The third one slips my memory for the moment.
Starting point is 00:17:22 But they surveyed the people, not just in the strip, but they also, I mean, they were looking at both territories and the people overwhelmingly backed Hamas, because you had Hamas and then you had Fata. And Fata, the difference between, the big difference between them is Fata said, okay, well, we'll go ahead and we'll recognize that Israel has a right to exist and Jewish people have a right to live and breathe on earth. Hamas was like, no, they gave a finger in the air and they said, not only do we not believe that, we're literally putting it in our charter. It's in their charter, like verbatim. I don't know why people argue this. I mean, there's a thing called the internet
Starting point is 00:18:06 that people can look this stuff up on. The drive-bys are like, no, uh-uh, yeah, it actually does. So they, with these areas, they have been overwhelmingly supportive of Hamas for, gosh, how long? A long time, 20 years? Because when did they have the elections? They had first elections in, I think it was 05, and then they were going to have other elections again. But they had to, actually, they paused them. And then Fata was losing power. They started losing power. Hamas, like, exceeds them. They basically run absolutely everything at the. point. And so it's wild to see them do this. It's wild to see them do this. It's wild to see them make this recognition. So you have these two territories and now you're having this recognized by France, which is about as, I think, as weak as you can get. And there's a lot of significance in them doing this. So McCrone says that they're going, he said it in statement on X. He posted it on X. And in his statement, he was saying that, you know, it was
Starting point is 00:19:19 historic. They went lasting peace in the Middle East. So as a result, France is going to recognize the quote unquote state of Palestine. Hey, Kane, how many, uh, all the hostages still in, uh, they've been released out of Gaza? Hmm. Crazy how they won't release those hostages, but then they bitch and moan about, you know, the, the reaction to them not releasing the hostages. Very, very wild. So the United States is not going to do that. They've had a breakdown in discussions for ongoing ceasefire and hostage release deals because Hamas is, it's a U.S. designated terror group, but they're also democratically elected by the people and they control the strip.
Starting point is 00:20:03 I'm going to tell you something. I've spoken to so many people and not just members of the IDF who have been over there and have said, there's a reason why Hamas is widely supported. There's a lot of, I mean, they just, they're arch enemies. of just to Jews, J-O-O-O-S. And the support is organic. They have a martyrs fund for crying out loud. So if you blow, you know, your kids go out and blow themselves up to kill Jews or target
Starting point is 00:20:31 or attack Israel and they lose their lives, they have a martyrs fund. And those people get paid. By the way, some of our tax dollars from USAID were making up some of that award. Did you know that? Oh, yeah. That's one of the things that came out. That's why there was aid money going to Gaza and we were questioning it. So Fadda is basically a sideline player at this point.
Starting point is 00:20:55 Hamas controls it and they got aid from Qatar. They have aid from Qatar for this. Qatar has to ingratiate itself with these nut jobs and they have to ingratiate themselves with Iran because they share a gas field out in the sea separating Qatar that juts out into the sea from Iran. So they're always, so they host a lot of these, they host a lot of these Hamas leaders. I mean, there are cutters like right across the Gulf from Iran. And so in between that, between like Qatar and between Kish Island, there's this big gas field there that they share with Iran. So they have to have a partnership.
Starting point is 00:21:34 You know, Iran obviously funds Hamas. They fund Hezbollah. So that's one of the reasons Qatar has this great relationship with Hamas because they're friendly with Iran. So that all makes sense. By the way, this is why you have this instability in the region because you have United Arab Emirates and Al-Zaid. And then you have Mohammed bin Salman who's in Saudi Arabia. And those two are very close. They also hate Islamism.
Starting point is 00:21:58 They hate all this extremism, particularly UAE. They hate, hate the extremism. You ought to see the changes that they've made because they want to be more open to the West because they want money because they realize oil and gas may not last forever and they've got to diversify. So they're very motivated. I told you, when you know people's currency, you can predict what they're going to do. So long story short, this is assonine for France to do something like this. And I think that there's some other motivations for them doing it. The least of which, well, not the least of which I should say, is that Paris is completely overtaken with Sharia supporters.
Starting point is 00:22:35 And if you support Sharia, you are in Islamist. Sharia is like a newfangled thing in Islam. many years ago. In fact, right when I started getting into activism, it was my first, I got invited at this big dinner in D.C. It wasn't like a formal dinner. It was kind of like a social thing. And I went at the time with my mentor and my boss, Andrew Breitbart, because I was the editor of big journalism, the standalone silo before it all morphed together. And I was introduced to this very intelligent, very fast-speaking woman named Nani Darwish. And Nani Darwish was an apostate. She had left Egypt. She was Muslim. She left her faith. And they had put a Fajah on her. They wanted to kill her. He ruled six deep with security. I sat next to her at this dinner. And I was unfamiliar. I knew that she was an activist, but I was unfamiliar with the threats that were against her until I said something to Andrew because it was Andrew. And then it was me. I was sitting across the table from my husband. And then Nani Darwish was on my right. Andrew was on my left. And I remember asking him, I'm like, well, why is it that I'm, well, she's got all these security. He's like, oh, my gosh. And, uh,
Starting point is 00:23:40 Garrett Wilder was there. And he was like, oh my gosh, she's got death threats on her because she's an apostate. And she speaks out against Sharia in Iran and all this stuff. Like, oh, my gosh. So long story short, it used to not always be that way. Sharia is a new implementation. It is, it is, that's actually the modernity that's infecting a lot of it. Now, I'm not saying, I'm not making excuses for past terrorism.
Starting point is 00:24:08 I'm just saying the idea of basically putting women in potato sacks and beating them in the streets if they get raped. You know, that's kind of a newfangled thing. But these two, those two entities hate. They hate it. So the idea that France is elevating this is asinine. What do they get out of it, aside from virtue signaling? Macron said he had some unnamed commitments from Machmaud Abbas, who's the president of Gaza. I don't say Palestine.
Starting point is 00:24:38 because it's a fake thing. And so they're going to be hosting, France is going to be hosting this conference where they're going to talk about achieving a two-state solution. Now, Saudi Arabia is involved. Saudi Arabia, it's wild because they're even hesitant to recognize things to the extent to which France has. Because by recognizing this, you're elevating a proxy group for Iran. In Iran and Saudi Arabia are like mortal enemies in the, in the, in the, you're, you're
Starting point is 00:25:08 Middle East. They won't really go out and say it because there's some unspoken rules in the custom that you don't criticize leadership and royalty over there. However, it's pretty well known. So this is all very odd that they would be doing this and elevating this. But at no point has Emmanuel Macron gone, oh, well, have you released the hostages yet? You know, all of this could be done if you just released hostages. I don't want to hear about blockades. I don't want to hear about any of this stuff. They started it. They refused to cooperate. They killed babies. They killed babies. They killed babies. Shut up with all of this other stuff. They killed babies.
Starting point is 00:25:42 I'm so tired of these cuck simps for Hamas. Honestly. Some of these people I get, oh man, it's taking me, I got to mind my peas and cues here. I see people out there standing for them and I'm like, you're such a cuck. It's the accurate term, I think,
Starting point is 00:25:59 in that context. Cain's dying every time I say it. What else would you rather me say? I'd get fine. We get in trouble. Beta? I mean, anything, but. No, no, no. It's harsh enough. True. Cain words or paintbrushes.
Starting point is 00:26:13 That paintbrush doesn't do justice to the issue. I'd have to agree. Now, they're also pressing on the UK to recognize Hamas' state. They're putting a lot of pressure on Kier-Starmer. It didn't help that you had
Starting point is 00:26:27 King Charles getting out there talking about the Muslim community with regards to Gaza, et cetera, et cetera. We're going to talk about this coming up. These are some things to watch here. You might think it's meaningless, but there's some moves being made. And I think that this is also kind of an offense by Iran as well. So we're going to talk about some of this. We also have some cultural issues to get into as well. Immigration and some
Starting point is 00:26:53 stuff to watch in D.C. that's pretty sketchy. So we got a lot to hit as we move, the partners that will bring you the program partners over at Burn a gun. I'm always going to tell people to carry. And I'm always going to tell you to train and be ready for anything. And I have zero problem myself in using lethal force to protect myself or a loved one. But here's the thing. There are so many different private property restrictions, municipal restrictions, to say nothing of laws about, you know, you can be old enough to go to college and live on your own in another town, but not old enough to carry, you know, a handgun for self-protection. So here's where the burner gun comes in. Burn a gun shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away.
Starting point is 00:27:33 There's no recoil, easy target acquisition. And unlike stun guns, the burn-a-guns, the burn actually has five rounds, right? And stun guns usually have like maybe one or two. There's several different types of burner guns. I mean, they make rifles, but I think for this, obviously, this purpose, the burner SD, which is their most popular model, or the new burner CL, which is 38% smaller and easier to conceal, I think, as a female, as a smaller statute of female, than the SD. But I think you need to consider both of them. You got the legal flexibility. There's no background checks. There's no permits. It does not care about gun-free zone signs at all whatsoever. It's legal in all 50 states.
Starting point is 00:28:11 You don't have to have a license, nothing. It's accessible for everybody. Can literally ship it right to your front porch. You need to check it out. It's good to have a diverse weapons array. You want to be ready for every situation. And this is just part of that for the same reason you have pistols and rifles, different calibers and blades.

Starting point is 00:28:54 Palsene people, this is all for you. Someone said, hey, it's Meg White. I will say that she actually had really good timing. I think people... Really? She had good timing, but she wasn't, like, trained to be flashy. When you do that, when you, like, bang things together, like pots and pans? That's Rashida Tilly, by the way.
Starting point is 00:29:24 Are you doing that for someone? Did she steal that from the Capitol Kitchen? She stole that metal. That's a... That's like a condiment thing from a line. So she stole that from a kitchen. She took it outside. I don't know if that's legal.
Starting point is 00:29:39 Also, why is she speeding the beat up? I'm so tired of people. Look, please dear heavens, I need them to not be bad at making rhythm. Go ahead. Palestinian people, this is all for you.
Starting point is 00:30:02 Oh my gosh. That's for somebody. Like, if I'm doing something for someone, it's not going to be that. Like, what? How is that for somebody? I'm really kind of, why? Like, what does that do for,
Starting point is 00:30:25 is that like a magical condiment line dish that, you know, if you bang on it, something happens. That's what she's going to do. She's going to bang on that for people? Good grief. What does it do? So you really didn't like the Meg White joke. You don't think that she's a good drummer?
Starting point is 00:30:42 I mean, Jack White didn't even have a bass player. Keep that in mind. He put himself in a box. That's why he gave him, she was a parameter just so he could test his creativity. I think he's a jack wagon politically, but he's inventive musically. Anyway, I just, what is she calling goats? Like, what is she doing? I don't understand that.
Starting point is 00:31:02 Like, you know, pigs, what is it? Sue, I don't know. It's weird. Like, why do they do that? Why is the left like, let's do the stupid thing we do for a protest? And that's what they do. Meanwhile, Republicans are like, maybe we should. put forth policy and Democrats are like, we're going to go bang things out in the, on the steps of

You on presidential immunity would apply to former president Barack Obama and what you're
Starting point is 00:32:32 accusing him of doing. It probably helps him a lot. Probably helps him a lot. The immunity ruling. But it doesn't help the people around him at all. But it probably helps them a lot. He's done criminal acts. There's no question about it. But he has immunity and it probably helped him alone. He owes me big. Obama owes me big.
Starting point is 00:32:58 Well, he's not wrong. I mean, he does. He has that presidential immunity. That's the ultimately that you can't undo that for Obama and not have the same thing apply to Trump. So therein lies the rub. Nothing's ever going to have a Barack Obama. because of that, that immunity ruling. Welcome back to the program. Daniel Lash with you. We're at the top of this first or sorry, second hour on a fray. And that he was speaking, that was right after, he's going to Scotland. And that was, he's had a busy couple of days because he was at the Fed. Lorraine reminded me that the original budget for the Fed and Reno was $1.9 billion.
Starting point is 00:33:35 They went over, but they, okay, this is like Gavin Newsom level, bad. They went over budget and got approved for two, two point five, five. billion for their renovation projects. The Fed's renovation. Remember, it was they, I don't know how you go over budget that much. I mean, when we, so when we redo stuff, we, we did a couple of things in our house and we were, man, like, riding the budget like mad. I ride the budget like crazy and we were looking at different materials and all of this stuff. And how do you go from, I'm sorry, 1.5 to 2.5. billion, 1.5 billion, which is enough already to two and a half. Now, the whole thing is over $3 billion. That's crazy. Absolutely insane. And they bragged about having a reserve. Like, they could go over more if they wanted to. Like, what was that about? Yeah, no, thank you. How is it that they get to do that? But when I'm looking at studio expansion and the cost associated with that, you guys don't even want to know, like, especially with inflation. Right now,
Starting point is 00:34:46 everything's kind of holding and we're watching. Of course, it doesn't help that taxation is theft and the government likes to take half of everything that you own, despite the fact that they don't do anything. We went to war for less than that. But that's insane. Can you imagine if we did that and then try to skirt the IRS on it? But hey, it's the Fed. Homies got to go. All right. They got a rock. He's got to go. And it was awkward. And regardless of what your feelings are on Trump, but I shouldn't even have to say this. He's right in the scenario, guys. He's right in that scenario.
Starting point is 00:35:20 By the way, I watched that South Park episode. You haven't seen it yet, Kane, have you? No. Why did POTUS respond to it? I don't know. Well, I shouldn't say POTUS responded to it. Yeah, they, yes, I shouldn't say POTS did. Technically, it was the White House that did.
Starting point is 00:35:39 And I'm like, why is it? Just ignore it. Because they, I watch this. and they intentionally Now, keep in mind for the people who are mad at South Park, they have trolled everybody for forever. It doesn't
Starting point is 00:35:55 matter. They are the original poo posters. I can't say what that's really called on social media. The fecal posters, but it starts with a shush your mouth. They are the original ones. They did everything possible to try to get a response out of him.
Starting point is 00:36:13 So I don't even through the White House, the White House doesn't even need to respond. That's goofy. Nobody needs to respond to this. There's literally no reason because it's this is what they do. This is this is, it's South Park for crying out loud. It's South Park. But he did have, what did he say? He said that they hadn't been the White House, a variety reported that the, they said this show hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and can't derail Trump's hot speak. Well, I think that's, or hot streak. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. That's a dumb response. The best thing they could have done is not respond. They're not relevant, but they got a billion dollar deal from Paramount for five years and 10 new episodes. No. No, no, no, no. They're incredibly relevant. It's the second longest running show in our history, I think, next to Simpsons. They're very relevant. Just don't say anything. Just don't say anything. They go just like the creators of South Park, the Left has no authentic original content, blah, blah, blah. Matt Stone and Trey Parker are not. not on the left. I think a lot of people think that they are because they'll joke at Republicans
Starting point is 00:37:20 and conservatives expenses, but they also joke at progressives expenses. I mean, they trolled the left pretty also hard in that episode. I mean, they made fun of the left freaking out over stuff, but people who are too stupid and don't understand that miss the point. I'm like, good gosh, are we in an idiocracy right now? Is Brondo already on the shelves? There were certain parts in that episode I watched. I was like, oh my gosh, they just skinned the left alive. And then they went after the right, too. Every episode's always been like that.
Starting point is 00:37:54 They're not leftists. They just hate everybody. They're more libertarian and more centrist, but they are not far left, and they're not woke. And they made fun of wokeery, and they made fun of all this stuff. And Cartman was the big woke guy. Cartman is always the avatar for everything that the left does, right? like they were making fun of NPR and they're like the president cut funding for NPR and Cartman's line was because one of the kids goes well what's NPR and he goes oh my gosh it's
Starting point is 00:38:22 where all the gays and Jews go to complain about everything that was his line because he's like the big leftist nut job on the show that's like his that's the role that he was filling in that episode so it's funny so I don't know it's it is what it is is it it was purposefully over the top for a reason They just don't even need to say anything about it. But like I said yesterday, and I know that this was on social media and I'm not going to go relitigate it. The whole point was, and I think people on the right are missing, some on the right are missing this entirely. Their point wasn't to criticize Trump.
Starting point is 00:39:00 They went over the top for a reason, but not for Trump's sake. They didn't go over the top for Trump's sake. Although I think him commenting, they were baiting him because that's part of the performance. South Park doesn't end just when the credits roll. People who are unfamiliar with that show don't realize this. The show continues in the real world. The show didn't conclude until they were able to make the point that the left and Colbert were morons for claiming that they were canceled for censorship because what South Park set out to do was to try to be more ridiculous than Colbert. to prove the point that he just sucks.
Starting point is 00:39:48 That's the reality of it. So I need people to not get lost. Don't lose the nuance in this. And also, there's certain things that are just funny. And there's certain things that you're like, I can't believe they just did that on there. Oh my gosh. I cannot believe that they just did.
Starting point is 00:40:03 It's not for everybody. But that doesn't mean it shouldn't be for anybody. So, yeah, and they had AI on it, although the AI looked, you know, Like they made him a Canadian and made him say a boot and gave him a Canadian head just because. But they don't need. Now, South Park responded to some of the backlash. And I think they said, oh, we are very, very, very, very sorry, which they're not.
Starting point is 00:40:29 They said, we're terribly sorry. They're not. You know that that means. Where should they be? Yeah, that's not them. These are the people that didn't they get canned from Comedy Central because they went after Muhammad after Charlie Hebdo? Or they got, they got punished severely for it.
Starting point is 00:40:49 They were going to run. A lot of people forget this. South Park, this was after Charlie Hebdo was targeted by Islamists for drawing Muhammad. And South Park did a whole episode where they drew Muhammad doing, you thought last night's episode, you thought, or you thought this South Park episode was over the top, y'all ain't seen nothing. apparently these people did not watch that episode.
Starting point is 00:41:14 They had to blur it out. Comedy Central made them. They would not let them air it. South Park, they forcibly, like, censored it. Remember that? They literally put a black bar and fuzzed out all this stuff. It was wild. And South Park wrote it into the whole series
Starting point is 00:41:35 or wrote it into that episode that they made it a part of the joke that they were being censored by Comedy Central. So just so you know, Oh, this is like par for the course here. But they've, yeah, they've been, and that's when, and then Islamists were threatening to kill them. And they were like, meh. That was crazy.
Starting point is 00:41:54 Do you remember that whole time? That was wild. Yeah, no one talks about that. They're like, Trump can't say, okay, try Mohammed. See how that goes well for you. See, the difference is Republicans aren't going off, cutting off people's heads. Right? Why don't they ever come to, why don't they ever realize that and stop and realize that?
Starting point is 00:42:11 these people, they're like, they're fake victims. They're such fake victims. So one of the things that we were discussing, and I wanted to play this audio, this is, sorry, sorry, sorry. This is audio sound by 12 on this situation with Hamas. Listen to what POTUS said here. He's on his way to Scotland. Listen to what POTUS said here. Yeah, Gaza, they pulled out of Gaza.
Starting point is 00:42:39 They pulled out in terms of negotiating. It was too bad. Hamas didn't really want to make a deal. I think they want to die. And it's very, very bad. And it got to be to a point where you're going to have to finish the job. They really, they asked the thing, don't forget, we got a lot of hostages out. So now we're down to the final hostages, and they know what happens after you get the final hostages. And basically because of that, they really didn't want to make a deal. I saw that. So they pulled out and they're going to have to fight and they're going to have to clean it up.
Starting point is 00:43:16 You're going to have to get rid of it. He's not wrong. And then now you have McCrone is recognizing Gaza's state officially at, so the UN General Assembly is in September. And apparently that's when Macron is going to give a speech and recognize that. And Hamas welcomed his statement. They said, we see it as a positive step in the right direction towards achieving justice for the, again, this is a fake word, Palestinian people and supporting their legitimate right to self-determination and establishing. of their independent state with Jerusalem is their capital, blah, blah, blah, blah,
Starting point is 00:43:45 occupied lands. They're not occupied. That was never their land to begin with. They were given a strip of land as welfare, and they decided to defecate all over it. That's what it is. It's not their land. It was never their land. It was given to them. And I'm going to tell you what, ask Egypt why they don't want them. Ask Jordan why they don't want them. As Lebanon, where they're having so many problems with them right now. Nobody wants them because they're problem children. You have a people that elected a terrorist government, literally, legitimately terrorists. They raised their children, generationally thinking that some people literally don't have the right to exist simply because of how they're born and who they are.
Starting point is 00:44:17 Where's the tolerant crowd on the left? Oh, they're advocating for this stuff. So assonine. We have a lot more on the way. We've got headlines coming up. It is our friends over at Keltek, the Generation 3 sub 2K. Florida-based company over at Keltec. You guys have heard about the Gen 3 sub 2K. They came out with it earlier this year. It comes in a variety of calibers, but now also 10 millimeter as well. And with Caltech, this thing can fold in half. Optics stay in place. It deploys just as quickly, zeroed and ready. And it's all about that rotating foreend. And, you know, like I said, deploys with the optics on. It folds up with the optics on 16.5 inches for easy storage and transport.
Starting point is 00:44:58 It takes Glock mags. It also is an internal buffer for softer recoil, lighter trigger pull for greater accuracy, integrated Mlock and rails for accessories. I mean, you can use it for anything. home defense backpacking, camping, law enforcement, church security, whatever it is that you need. And it's made in Florida.
Starting point is 00:45:15 You can learn more about the Generation 3, Sub 2K, at Keltecweapons.com. That's KELTECWeapons.com. Tell them Dana sent you. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick 5. All right. So first up, this is sad.
Starting point is 00:45:33 My friend Jeff Donuts, who was the proprietor of Yid with Lid and then did Lid blog later, passed away. age 67. Known for a while, it was kind of like the uncle of the, one of the uncles of the movement in the early aughts, like right when the conservative activism online really kicked into gear. And he was in, he'd worked in advertising and marketing, publication marketing, but he passed away at age 67. He had some health struggles.
Starting point is 00:46:05 But Jeff was, he would always say, you're a mensch. He would always, he was, he was such a nice guy. So our condolences to his family and prayers to them. I'm sure that he had a wonderful wife and two kids and we're praying for them. Also, moving, oh, pull this up, moving to this. Apparently, a scientist believes that bread makes us sad. I like some bread. And I'm so tired of these headlines.
Starting point is 00:46:34 It says if you're feeling depressed, avoid gluten. If you're feeling this to avoid gluten. I've told you guys that one of my doctors, was saying that because I see nutritionists and all of this, I like to run like optimal. And they were saying, well, we think that you're gluten intolerant. That's what we're thinking. And because I had these like different issues. And I'm like, I think it's actually chemical intolerant.
Starting point is 00:46:53 Because when I travel overseas and I eat food that they don't allow that stuff in their flour and all of that, I don't have the same issues. And so I started getting flour and actually importing flour from Italy to make our stuff. I don't have any of the issues that I used to have eating all that stuff. It's the chemicals that people are reacting to. It's not bread. People ate bread for centuries. Now all of a sudden we're like,
Starting point is 00:47:13 I can't eat bread anymore. It's because we put all this stuff in it is why. So I would not, it's worth it to spend a little more to get the flour that, if you're not grinding your own wheat, to get the flour that does not have all the stuff in it. It makes a world of difference. Scientists discover a six cents in the gut that controls how much we eat. Yes, it's not in the gut. It's actually in your brain.
Starting point is 00:47:36 It's chemicals that react. and they tell you that, okay, you've had enough, you've had enough. But it's called a neurobiotic sense in the colon, and the body detects bacterial, bacteria signals that control appetite in real time, and they respond to a microbial protein called flagellin. Have you heard of that one? Yeah. You hadn't heard of that.
Starting point is 00:47:55 I thought you would have known all about this and, like, co-signed this study. I thought you said flagellens. Flagell, L-L-I-N. It triggers the release of the hormone P-Y-Y, which activates the, Vegas nerve. That sounds weird. I feel like we're talking about that made-up thing called the donglefish. That's online. Vegas Nerves real.
Starting point is 00:48:14 Kind of feels like that a little bit. Let's see. Food. Not lack of exercise fuels obesity, according to a study. I'm going to tell you guys something. We work out not like we used to. I used to work out six days a week and I kicked box four days a week. And diet is 98% of it. not kidding i do intermittent fasting religiously that is a game changer so this study i completely get behind

Since that that election in New York City is a sign of the Democratic Party
Starting point is 00:50:14 moving a particular direction just ignores the facts. We are a big tent party, and we want everyone to be in that party. And, you know, that includes Zoran Mamdani. That includes other folks on all sides of the ideological spectrum. So that's the DNC chair. He was like, yeah, it's a big tent party, you know. Our big tent includes hate the Jews and stuff. that's what he's me that's what he
Starting point is 00:50:36 okay welcome back first off Dana Lash with you Grading salitations bottom of the second hour how is that different now Trump did not say this in the manner that the press said he did
Starting point is 00:50:52 because he was condemning you know the bad actors and the Charlotte thing how is that not like oh there's good people on both sides thing how is it any different what if Trump came out and said you know what I mean that's just the way it is it's a big tent party Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:51:08 The left is coming out saying, well, it's a big tent party, you know. We're talking about a guy who said Globalize the Infantata. Lunchbox, that's what we're talking about. This is not like someone who goes, well, I think we should be taxed at a 5% rate higher than your position. That would be like a big tent issue, right? A big tent issue would be arguments over zoning, arguments over taxation, you know, what is the right, you know, me, there's a number of,
Starting point is 00:51:39 the not of this. Not a globalize the infantata thing. Oh my gosh. Just. I'm going to need some in you. This, I will never forget how many headlines we saw over that Charlotte thing, where Trump was like, oh, you know, both sides. You know, those good people on both sides.
Starting point is 00:52:02 That's not what he was saying. He was talking about the people who weren't the, like, bigots. that were going back and forth. He didn't say that he endorsed big a, he didn't do any of that, but the media made it up. We played that audio sound bite live. No, no, well, yeah, live.
Starting point is 00:52:19 And then we played it over and over again to talk about the issue because the press wouldn't let it go. What if Trump had gone out instead and said, well, you know, it's a big tent party? So they're claiming ownership of this by saying that it's a big tent party. That's what this guy, that's what Martin doesn't,
Starting point is 00:52:36 the DNC chair doesn't get. By saying this, what you're saying is, well, we claim these people as our party. That's what he's saying. That it's a big tent party that includes the people who think about, you know, who support globalizing the infantata. What? But that's what he's saying.
Starting point is 00:52:56 What are you typing? Say it. I think it's pronounced the intifada. I think you're saying it. Did I say it correctly? I think you're saying infantata. Oh, I did. Intifada.
Starting point is 00:53:05 Yes. Because I'm saying, I'm running everything together and it's Friday. The Intifada, yes. Although Infantata, that actually works well too, because they're a bunch of, you know, idiot babies. The issue with this is the ownership of it. You can't go out and say globalize the Intifada and then act like that's a big, big tent thing. It's not. What that means is you're talking about globalizing terrorism,
Starting point is 00:53:38 and globalizing the eradication of a particular people because of who they are. Just like when you talk about going from the river to the seas, the river Jordan all the way to the Mediterranean. What lies between there geographically? Okay, yeah, Israel, that's right. So that's what they're talking about. They all say the same thing.
Starting point is 00:53:54 These are all the same chance. Whether it's globalized in defa, whether it's from the, I almost said, Fiver. See, I can't, it's Friday. From the river to the sea, all of these things are, they're terrorist chants. And instead of saying we don't have room for that in our tent, they're saying, well, no, we have a big tent. He's claiming ownership of this.
Starting point is 00:54:18 So here's my other follow-up question. Why, dear heavens, has the GOP not made this into, I hope they're going to make this into a campaign ad? That's a campaign ad. That is a million dollar audio, we would call it, right there. to have the DNC chair say, when asked, well, the globalize the endovada and from the river to the sea, do you disown? Do you condemn these sayings? And they go, well, we, it's a big tent. We want everybody in the Democrat Party. He's taking ownership of that. So where's the ad? Maybe they could come in with Rashida Tili banging the pot and then cut and then have Martin saying this and then go back to her banging the pot there
Starting point is 00:55:15 I just did the ad right there the ad's done cane that's it it's done there you go bring on 2026 you oh heaven help us they're struggling with fundraising for a reason I had that headline for you yesterday that's like the worst Salvation Army bucket kettle ringer I've ever seen right worst ever worst ever so uh Wait in, there's a few other things that we're going to, can we talk about this influencer culture? Please. Let me switch gears here. I don't like the influencer stuff.
Starting point is 00:55:52 I get it that people do it and I don't, you know, is there some of it that I look at? Not really. There's certain things that I will look at, like if I'm bored. I don't really doom scroll, I think, as much as the average bear. There's just, because so much of it is just derivative of everything else. Like if you look at a lot of the influencer stuff, everybody's selling this. same stuff. Right? Have you noticed this? Like everybody's selling the same things. I do you see it over and over again, especially the Amazon storefronts. My gosh, everybody has the same stuff.
Starting point is 00:56:24 You have interior influencers, fashion influencers, and apparently like food or lifestyle influencers. And so there was this. Okay, I'm just going to read you the first sentence and we're going to have to talk about this after that. A TikTok micro influencer got a top San Francisco chef fired after saying she was left in tears by the restauranteur's refusal to give her free food because she wasn't famous. Full stop. Steve, you had asked a great question on break about a particular phrase that was just in that sentence. What did you ask, dear sir? What makes someone a micro-influencer? Does that what you're talking about? Yes. She has 15,000 followers online, and she calls herself a micro-influencer. Everyone's a micro-influencer. Everyone's a micro-influencer.
Starting point is 00:57:11 Her using that in this context means she isn't actually famous and she only has 15,000 followers. So she said she was literally shaking. I'm not making that up. She said that. She was invited to a collaboration at a Bay Area wine bar called Kiss Cafe, KIS. And she was expected where she was expected. She means she expected this. she thought she was going to get a free meal for her and her husband in exchange for a promotion
Starting point is 00:57:44 video on her channel. But then she said, after she got to the restaurant, the chef, Luke, sung, ask, why was she invited? How big is this place? Is it a small establishment? Cane? Will you find that out real quick? I will. Because I got a question about that, if, if that's true. So she says that She was invited, and then when she got there, the chef was like, why are you here? So in response, her name is, it's Car Lab, L-A-B-B on whatever. She says that she was an advocate for micro-influencers. Okay, full stop. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Starting point is 00:58:25 You have 15,000 followers. You're not an advocate for anybody. You have no reach. I hate the word influencer. That's stupid. You're a marketer. That's all you are. You are a marketer.
Starting point is 00:58:35 You're like QVC online. Stop. That's what it is. It's QVC online. But they act like it's like glorified because it's on social media. She goes, you don't need to have a million followers to be respected or feel like you're making a difference. Actually, you do in this industry. In this, you know, QVC online industry, you do actually need to have a lot of followers in order to make a difference.
Starting point is 00:58:58 You're not moving inventory with 15,000 followers compared to somebody who's got over a million. Now, she didn't name Sung or Kiss Cafe in her. video, but she made it kind of obvious where she was. She said the confrontation made her leave in tears. And then she tried to drag her audience in it by suggesting that her modest following meant that her fans likely could not afford to eat there anyway. She said his behavior was on a kiss cafe then fired him. They said on Instagram that his behavior was unacceptable and he was no longer part of the team as a co-owner or a chef in any way. Cudos to this chef, by the way. He's the real MVP. She sounds like a grifting brat who she's a welfare artist.
Starting point is 00:59:43 She goes in and she demanded a free meal. I'll tell my 15,000 followers on social media. Do you know how many people do this to restaurants? I was at a restaurant one time. Yeah. It looks like a very small place. So now you can see why she was questioned why she was there. Look how many chairs they have.
Starting point is 01:00:01 Think about the turnover. You have to make X amount of sales. I mean, in order to make a profit. So, yeah, smaller restaurants, they do very zealously guard those reservations and guard those tables. I get it. I worked in food service, like, in high school all through college. So I completely get it. So they, she was, I can't believe that they responded to this.
Starting point is 01:00:28 That is so insane. That's sane. It's just crazy that the restaurant actually responded to this. But she said that she was disrespected. You weren't disrespected. You met reality and you didn't like it and it hurt your feelings. That's not the same thing as being disrespected. You have like 15,000 followers.
Starting point is 01:00:46 She was trying to find a way to milk this, be a victim so she could get more followers. I wouldn't want to read anyone's opinion or read about anybody's lifestyle that gets their feelings hurt so easily because the chef was correct. And this restaurant is a pansy. And I don't want to eat at this restaurant now because they're idiots. This chef is absolutely correct. And of course, she got a ton of followers overnight because she made herself a victim. She played into this class warfare establishment. And that's how it did.
Starting point is 01:01:16 She's still a micro-influencer. Sorry. I've never gone anywhere and expected a free meal ever. I have never, ever in my life got. I find it so distasteful. I have friends that joke with me and they're like, why don't you do this? I'm like, because it makes me gag. And Kane knows this.
Starting point is 01:01:34 You know this all too well. It is so gauche to me to do that. There's no way. And this is one of the reasons, too, like on social media. And again, Kane can attest to this. I have people who think I'm nuts because on Instagram, I have like a half a million followers and I don't really do anything with it. I had a candle company.
Starting point is 01:01:57 And they were really nice. And I actually used their, I actually bought their stuff. They're based in Louisiana. It's called Orleans Canter. And they were like, hey, we noticed that you said something nice about us. Can we send you some, you know, some free stuff? And I'm like, on one condition, I know you expect me to talk about you. And if you expect me to say anything about it, I want a discount for all of the people that follow this account.
Starting point is 01:02:22 So that if they choose to order it, they can get a discount. So it was a 20% off discount. And I had to explain to people in the comments. I'm like, this is not an ad. I'm not getting paid for this. I was like, if you're expecting me to do something for you, what am I going to get out of it for the people that follow my account. So I got everybody a 20% discount. And people in the comments were like, I hope this isn't going to be an influencer account. I'm like, you're damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Starting point is 01:02:42 It doesn't matter, right? So I haven't done it again. But there are, there are tons of people that reach out all the time and entities that are like, hey, can we do a partnership and can we do this product? And would you like to, you know, do you want to, do you want to, it's WIC. WIC is back. WIC's at the door. Hold up. He interrupted me. What are you doing? What are you doing? Not for puppies. It's not for puppies.
Starting point is 01:03:10 He's literally in the bed. This is, Wick, it's not for puppies. I see you. He has no idea what's happening. He's like, this is a very bright room. I see. Hi.
Starting point is 01:03:24 It's not for puppies, though. I know, you're such a good boy. It's not for puppies. Yeah, sorry, wiki woo. It's okay. It's live radio. It's Friday. Half the people are by the pool drunk. It's okay.
Starting point is 01:03:37 But my point is, is that, like, this chick was like, I love spotlighting small businesses. No, you don't. You like spotlighting yourself and getting fame for yourself. You're a welfare recipient. You're no different than somebody else who's demanding, like, you know, you're wanting food stamps and you're demanding free stuff at Walmart. You're, like, no different. You just try to glorify it by putting it on social media. I just find it so incredibly distasteful. It's distasteful because this is not, I mean, Micro influencers, there's no such thing. You are either someone who is a marketer and you understand, and you understand like leveraging social attention to highlight like really good service, which that's not what she's doing. But long story short, we get like this stuff all the time and I just find it,
Starting point is 01:04:27 do you guys find it distasteful? I'm curious. Like I'm curious what the chat thinks, because we get stuff like this all the time for social media. And I say no. It's actually, kind of hurt us advertising wise because I've never included it as part of any kind of like advertising for radio or anything and I have we have like our social radio America has some social media people and they're like oh my gosh Dana what are you doing I'm like I just I feel like that everybody would find it distasteful right Wick is like I definitely do unless it has to do with dog treats and then no I don't he is so he's learned how to open gates with his I almost said he ans his paws he just opens them he just he you can't can't uh can't cage his dog you can't

Oh my gosh, just an elderly person.
Starting point is 01:06:56 Kane. I know you hate old people. So try to contain your rage. So, oh, this is the video that's auto plane. because, of course, St. Petersburg police say Victor Love attacked a long-time acquaintance after riding his bike to the victim's home Thursday. He punched through a bedroom window, stabbed the guy, then beat him with a crowbar per police. He's 63 years old. 63-year-old riding his bike to a victim's house, punching through a window, stabbing the dude,
Starting point is 01:07:26 and then beating him with a crowbar. His name is Victor Love. I think he's wearing a big old chain. Yeah, he looks like problems. He faces an attempted first-degree murder charge. My goodness. And then a Florida man was charged selling a fake gold bar at a Missouri pawn shop. You cannot get anything over these pawn shop owners, man. Why do you think you're doing that? He's charged with stealing $750 or more because they accused him as selling a fake gold bar.
Starting point is 01:07:54 We've got a lot more on the way. Third hour next. Stick with us. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash, with you. and we are at the top of this third hour this Friday. Welcome. So I've got to tell you, I saw this, it's a new piece from New York Times. I mean, I'm trying to be very, you know, new testament about Chadenfreude here, so it's a big struggle. Under siege from Trump and Moscow, a top liberal group falls into crisis, reads the headline. Now, who could this liberal group be? Let's read further.
Starting point is 01:08:30 scrambling to pay legal fees, Media Matters, has dialed back its criticism, trimmed its staff, and contemplated closing entirely. Hmm. Hmm. Interesting. It gets into how Media Matters is struggling to withstand because, you know, Musk went after them, because they're nonsense. Trump has gone after them. They've racked up $15 million in legal fees in the past two years to defend. themselves. And now they've got a number of investigations as well. And they deserve it. They have seen their cash flow stop because their donors are skittish, according to documents. They tried to settle with Musk, but Musk wasn't having it. God love him. And yeah, publicly, they said they have
Starting point is 01:09:21 no plans to close. I've been hearing some stuff about this. So it's interesting to see this confirmed in the New York Times. They're this sentence. though is nonsense. Quote, media matters stands as an example of how legal warfare waged by powerful ideological opponents can squelch influential voices and stifle political dissent. No, no, no. That's not what this is. Let me just give you some insight. I think we've talked a little bit about this before. Media Matters, just to use myself as an example because I'm me, targeted me every step of my career since 2008. Since 2008, they have targeted me every step of my career.
Starting point is 01:10:16 They even assigned, his name was Joe Strup, S-R-U-P-P, and he admitted this to me. They even assigned me a beat reporter who went to all of my events, watched, listened to every one of my shows, followed all of my social media posts, was in the front row of all my events. I found myself at a talker's event in New York City one day speaking and right in the front row was Joe. And we ended up having a cordial relationship, even though he worked for Media Matters. And Media Matters, as you know, wrote hit pieces on conservative media entities. They are an activist organization funded by a number of leftists, notably the Tides Foundation, which was founded by George Soros, and he gets money from other rich
Starting point is 01:11:04 people. They all pull their money together, and then they fund it. It was founded by David Brock, who used to be on the right back during the Clinton days when Clinton was in the White House, and he wrote a book on Clinton that was very caustic, and apparently it didn't get the attention that he thought it should have within the right circles. And so in a fit of rage, he decided to switch to the left, and that's where he's been ever since. And they have, harassed, smeared, libelled, and slandered. Numerous, numerous conservatives. I wasn't the only conservative that had my own reporter. Every conservative media person had their own beat reporter. They were treated individually as beats. And that was admitted to me freely by Joe.
Starting point is 01:11:48 So he followed me to CPAC, followed me to talkers, followed me to everything. Every event rallies, he'd be there everywhere. Isn't that insane? Waiting for you to see. get mess up, say one wrong thing, get one word wrong, take anything out of context. Case and point. I joked one day, it was on X, and it was when Barack Obama was giving a State of the Union address. And this was when they made this huge push for green energy. Do you remember this? They were like, well, you're going to have now the Department of Defense. It's going to be really looking at green energy solutions, et cetera, et cetera. And then they said, and then NASA is going to really incorporate more about Muslim outreach. And I made a comment, like, these are institutions
Starting point is 01:12:36 that have particular names that describe what they do. And now you're assigning them tasks that have nothing to do with the thing for which they are named. And I'm like, that's like saying you're going to create a department of Muslim outreach and make that about space. And then literally, like the next morning, Media Matters headline, and this is when I was a token conservative at CNN and they were trying to get me fired from CNN. They worked really hard to try to get me fired. They had CNN's Dana Lash. And then like they acted like I said in a quote, let's shoot Muslims into space. I had the VP of Standards and Practices that demanded that they, because he woke up in the morning and he took a deuce and red media matters. That's how he started his day. And demanded, people were demanding that I apologize. And I'm like, apologize for what?
Starting point is 01:13:24 I'm not apologizing for a damn. thing. And as a result, they just, I mean, they, they, they wouldn't take it off. They wouldn't do that. It ended up going away. I saved it. It was my, had my desktop screensaber for a while. But I was suspended on air for two weeks because of media matters.
Starting point is 01:13:42 They lied about me. And you could sue them for libel and defamation. And the people who, the people who say this, by the way, they're like, well, why didn't you just sue them? You clearly have never been involved in lawfare. I have. it is the most expensive case to litigate. And you don't have law firms out there that do it pro bono.
Starting point is 01:14:04 And to do it properly, you're talking about getting at least $1,000 an hour law firm. And that's cheap. That's cheap. So, I mean, in fact, I recently stepped toe to toe and fought off an entity that was trying to silence me. And I had a $3,800 an hour law firm. because I was going to drive the point home. So it's very, very expensive. And I've countered people.
Starting point is 01:14:34 I've had other people come at me before and say, I don't like what you said about me, even though they've smeared me and I've countered saying that I will sue them in every single city where I have affiliates and I will ruin their lives and I will take everything that they own. And then they back down. It's very expensive to do.
Starting point is 01:14:49 It's the most expensive thing to litigate. And I am very well versed in it. So, never lost. So, that said, the reason I bring that up is because media matters, who did I say they were funded by? Their own Elon Musk. They have their own leftist version of Elon Musk. And until Elon Musk, the right didn't have anybody that was like Elon Musk because billionaires and millionaires on the right don't do that kind of stuff. They do stupid think tanks where they write white papers and grease each other's butts. That's all they do. That's literally all they do.
Starting point is 01:15:21 They, you know, they don't invest in art and entertainment. They don't, hell, they don't invest in social media. They wait until the left to do it. And then they bitch about, why? That's all they do on the right. So it's incredibly frustrating. So when Musk started going after media matters, I, there were fewer people out there that were as happy as I was. And they've done this.
Starting point is 01:15:44 When I was guest hosting the view, my gosh, they tried going after the view. I got really mad at them, too, because they're for, a while when there was power jockeying on the right and I made a joke about Thomas the Tank. Media Matters ran the story and even Breitbart picked it up, but that's when it was under sloppy Steve Bannon who's a total disgrace and called Donald Trump Jr. A traitor and now look where he is, pay for play, stupid radio. Anyway, but sometimes the right works with them. That's true. Sickening in it. And they empower them that way. Anyway, back to my point. That tell all books going to be something one day. Back to my point.
Starting point is 01:16:21 the New York Times piece says they're struggling, and they've already let a lot of people go. I have seen that, and you've seen it. We've had it in headlines. They've let a lot of people go. They slashed the size of their staff. They've been trying to raise money. They're not able to do it. And I wanted to, there's this piece. Here's a piece from the story. Listen to this. This is funny. In early February, frustrated by what some at Media Matter saw is the high cost and slow pace of their lawyers at the influential Democrat firm, the Elias Law Group, the advocacy group began transatlism. transitioning the X cases to different law firms. And Elias lawyer notified the group that it owed roughly $4 million. They say, quote, we understand this case has been and remains very difficult for everyone involved,
Starting point is 01:17:04 as was Musk's intention when he brought it, said Ezra Reese, the chair for the Elias Political Law Group, in an email to Angela Carousone and Media Matters lead fundraiser Mary Pat Bonner. So these are two people who lead Media Matters. Mr. Reese offered to wipe away about half of the unpaid tally in exchange for a payment of two and a half million within about a week. If the group did not commit to the payment plan, Reese wrote, his firm would expect full payment of the original amount and would go, quote, pens down and take steps to withdraw from the case by the end of the month. The ultimatum did not sit well with inside media matters.
Starting point is 01:17:37 You must be kidding, Ms. Bonner, responded to Mr. Reese. This is how you treat people who have been clients for 16 years and our friends? Yes, and it's glorious. and I'm tired of pretending that it's not. That's well deserved. It is absolutely well deserved. They went after, media matters went after everyone and everything. Every conservative that was smeared in the past 20 years has been because of media matters.
Starting point is 01:18:03 The biggest attacks on me came from, actually Bannon's people and media matters. They work together. And that interesting. So media matters has been behind, George Soros has been behind all of this stuff. the attacks, the tramsmearing of conservatives over trans attacks. That's media matters. Going after people who wanted the integrity of the vote. That's media matters. And you have all of these little executives in MSNBC and CNN. They wake up and they read this. They look at media matters as though they are gospel. No joke. And like I said with the tweet, how they were saying,
Starting point is 01:18:40 well, Dana Lash said, let's shoot Muslims into space, simply because I was saying, well, why are, Why is Department of Defense getting into energy? And this was on Obama's inaugural address, or not inaugural, sorry, State of the Union speech. And I'm like, and NASA is going to be about Muslim outreach? So is space going to be about, like, is the Department of Muslim Outreach going to be about space? And that was my, I mean, it was, you know, legitimate observation. I never said shoot anybody into space, but that's not what they, that's not what they intimated. And so as a result, yeah, they, I, I, I, two weeks.
Starting point is 01:19:15 I wasn't on air because of their smearpiece. They never corrected. They never apologized. They would get things like dramatically wrong. They would try to dox me and they would get things about my life wrong because there's somebody from my state that had my exact first name and maiden name and we lived in the same county. And there was like a story that they ended up deleting and it went into the memory hole where
Starting point is 01:19:38 they were writing about like somebody's life story that was not me, but it was someone who had my last name in the county that I lived. lived in. I mean, that's how bad it is. They're not even good at what they do. They're not even good at sourcing material. They would never correct. And no one acknowledges this at CNN or MSNBC. There are stories that they run and the view that are based on the stuff that Media Matters posts. So, yes, I can't wait until they're unemployed. I can't wait until the pathetic people that worked at that outlet have to stand in the unemployment line and beg for a job. I cannot wait because all the hell that they have caused so many people
Starting point is 01:20:16 simply because people wanted to make the country better, they wanted to make sure that people followed laws, they wanted to make sure that we had lower taxes in decent health care, and they were attacked and smeared and doxed and their families were targeted by this absolute rat bastard entity that was founded by a disgruntled Republican who became a Democrat and funded by Soros and friends. I cannot wait until they're circling the ninth-pillar.
Starting point is 01:20:44 of hell. Can't wait. I shouldn't say that because, you know, Schadenfreude, but they deserve it. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. A man accused of taking a stolen boat on a naked joyride in the Hudson River escape from a Manhattan hospital. Really? Anybody else shocked by that?
Starting point is 01:21:06 He took a stolen boat. He escaped from the New York Presbyterian Hospital in Washington Heights, where he was undergoing a psychiatric evaluation. They said 36-year-old Stephen Blassetti slipped out That's why it was difficult Blassetti slipped out of his handcuffs Wednesday morning
Starting point is 01:21:24 The police officer watching him This is like a movie. Fell asleep. It was all on security camera. Then he put on a doctor's jacket And slipped out of the hospital. This is a movie. He was charged with
Starting point is 01:21:36 Grand Larceny, criminal possession of stolen property, reckless endangerment, a whole bunch of other stuff when he took the stolen boat in the Hudson River. So yeah, nuts. How did it's, I mean, no, goodness, how do you? Chat GPT gave instructions for murder, self-mutilation. Oh, and devil worship.
Starting point is 01:21:52 Oh, my goodness. Like that's, hmm. Yeah, it's bad. This is bad. Chad GPT, I'm just saying, look, all of this stuff reacts to human observation and what you feed it. It doesn't have power on its own. The entirety of its power is dependent upon human observation. And it's going to be control over influencing AI, more so than influencing people,
Starting point is 01:22:14 is going to be the new thing, really. A school district says doctor's notes will no longer excuse a child absence. You know, the school's got to get that money because if you get a kid that's out, they lose money that day. School district in Tennessee said doctors' notes will not excuse it. They said they're trying to improve the district's attendance rate. Many parents are against it.
Starting point is 01:22:33 Like strep throat, flu, et cetera. So they basically want kids to go to school with strep throat and flu and all that. And in fact, all the other kids, you absolute idiot school district. Good grief. That's just some of these. I can't. Let's see. I had a couple from the last that I didn't get to.
Starting point is 01:22:51 So do you guys remember the banana? I think this is stupid. I hate modern art. I think modern art's a big Otex invasion scheme. Marutio Catalan's almost $10 million banana. Did you? I hate these ads. This, he basically tapes a banana to a wall.
Starting point is 01:23:08 And then somebody, he, I don't know. This is like the third, fourth iteration of it. And then he sells it for millions. Apparently, someone went to the museum and ate it. It's called the comedian. Somebody took it off the wall and ate it. Again? It's not the first time.
Starting point is 01:23:23 It happened again in 2019 in Miami at their Art Basel. It happened there. And then it happened, I think, in 23, 24, yeah, four or five times this has happened. Stick with it. We got a lot more on the way to finish out this Friday. On the go and need a quick news fix with a fun twist. Follow Dana's absurd truth podcast for bite size and form. episode perfect for your busy schedule on Apple or wherever you get your podcast.
Starting point is 01:23:50 I'm not absentia. If GPS helped her get in the court, I'm all behind it. Tom, a long-time friend of the president passed away today. Hokogen, dead at 71. Do you have a favorite Hokoken member? I love Hulk Hogan. I got a, I had an Italian mastiff dog, 200 pounds, his name, Hulk Holman. Sir, has the president. He's spoken to you at all about. I like that. I love it. Yeah, it's Hulk Homan.
Starting point is 01:24:18 Somebody found a picture of his dog, and they put it up online, and that dog is beautiful. Now, I want a kangorso. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you. It's good to be with you. We're the bottom of this third hour. It's Friday. It's hot. It's a dry heat. We're getting you set up for the weekend. We were kind of making fun of media matters here. because it's funny to do so they're in a lot of trouble. I had a couple of other things that I wanted to get. We talked about the influencer culture, et cetera, which is insane to me. I also wanted to get, where is this at?
Starting point is 01:25:01 I had this on, oh, this is it. I didn't get to this in the beginning, and this was kind of trending last night. The New York Post has the story. So I don't know who runs. the social media account for Democrats, but they messed up last night. Did you see what they did, Kame? No.
Starting point is 01:25:24 They did. It was a big, bad thing. So, um, they had an ex post. It's not up anymore because they had to delete it. They had an ex post wherein they were discussing the price of all of these things, right? Oh, I saw that. groceries and all kinds of stuff. And they were trying to slam Trump by saying the cost of these things had skyrocketed. It included this graph of soaring cheese, alcohol, I'm going on the
Starting point is 01:26:00 Listeri, grocery produce, meat prices. And it went all the way back to October 2019. Now, the weird thing is the big inflection point on the graph, the point where everything started going up was right at the start of 2021. What happened there? In 2021? Well, let's see. Biden was in office in 2021.
Starting point is 01:26:34 Yeah, because it's the election. Yeah, Democrats were in charge of the White House. 2020. So like if it started kicking up and 2021. I don't think Trump was in the White House then. Nope, he sure wasn't.
Starting point is 01:26:49 So that was Biden. So they literally posted a graph. They called it Trump's America. And it literally shows in 2021, that's when everything kicked up.
Starting point is 01:27:04 It was low and stable, going into 2020, 2019, going into 2020. And then 2021, boom. skyrocketing. They thought they were dunking on Trump with this. You can say, okay, Juan's showing you right now. Look at the graph.
Starting point is 01:27:21 So you see on the bottom left of your screen, it's really low. It's all the way down. And then it right there, 2021, if you're looking at the very bottom numbers above where it says cheese, alcohol, grocery, that third to the right is 2021. That's where it starts kicking up. And then that's all Biden in office. they literally put that out there to try to slam Trump. All of the high parts were Biden.
Starting point is 01:27:51 I cannot believe. That's like the dumbest post I've ever seen in the history of political posting. Well, one of. Oh my gosh. I was looking at those. I could not even believe it. And then they had to delete the tweet. There's a graph that explains it.
Starting point is 01:28:10 You can see where Trump was out of office at that point. where you see where it was they put that up they literally put it up and said trump's america and they were like they were trying to slam trump acting like he was the one who calls all this stuff and then when people oh my gosh it got ratioed do you remember what the ratio was it was it was never seen a ratio like that it was like hundreds of thousands of comments to it even democrats were like um i don't think this shows what you think it shows yeah so they deleted it they deleted the tweet they deleted it and then they just try to pretend what do you mean what tweet we don't know what are you talking about it wasn't our but the internet's forever that's why we have
Starting point is 01:28:56 you know the screenshot of the tweet because the internet's forever oh my gosh it's this is one of the stupidest things i've ever seen they we they rates the inflation rate under biden I think it peaked at an annual rate of like 9.1%. And that was just a little over a year after he took office. It peaked about 17 months because it takes a little bit for things to work or not work. And by the end of his term, the cost of food had exploded to like 22%, by more than, actually by more than 22%. I think it was actually round up, I think it was 23%.
Starting point is 01:29:39 from the time that he took the oath of office. And that is federal data. And I have, let me pull this up on my, pardon me. I'm pulling it up right now off of my bookmark. So this is the federal data from the St. Louis Fed.org, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. And it shows all of this, all of this stuff. And it shows literally how it, I mean, you can see everything with it. So that's where the information is coming from.
Starting point is 01:30:06 I just cannot believe that they are so stupid that they actually. posted this. It is one of the dumbest things. And then they deleted it. Like, no one's going to know that we deleted us. Nobody will know. Maybe they won't notice. Like, isn't that kind of a pattern with them? Like when they switched out Biden, maybe no one will notice. But yeah, that was from the St. Louis Federal Reserve, and you can see completely when all of this started. All of it started. Yeah, look, look after the election. You had coming out of COVID. COVID was rough. So, yeah, they did this with Biden, too, when they switched out Biden. Actually, when they were pretending that Biden could actually president, if he couldn't, no, maybe no one will know.
Starting point is 01:30:52 Maybe they won't know that Biden doesn't know where he is. And maybe they won't know that he can't even remember his own life story, Kane. Is it just me or are they horrible with graphs and social media? Because remember that three cents that they were trying to brag about when it, was talking about gas prices, remember? And it made it look like there was this big dip in gas prices. Yes. And it wasn't even three cents.
Starting point is 01:31:16 Yeah, they're horrible. They're really bad with it. Yeah, you're correct. They're really bad with it. They're bad. It's bad at memes. They're bad at a lot of stuff. I mean, our expectations for them were low, but oh my gosh.
Starting point is 01:31:33 This was, you know, this was a lot. Then they posted this whole, then they posted this thing. Hold up. Let me, I don't know if you got this one. I didn't, I don't think I put this in slack earlier. My apologies. They posted this and it's, um, they said it's time to give Americans a raise. And so it shows, you know, what the minimum wage was all these years from 2009 going to
Starting point is 01:31:56 2025. Kane? Who was president more? What party was president more from 0.9 to 25? Like over 70% of the, like over 70% of the, the time that was Democrat administration. Definitely Democrats. So, yeah, here's the, they posted this.
Starting point is 01:32:17 They literally posted this. And also after they deleted the first thing. House and Senate majorities as well. Yeah. They said it's time to give Americans a raise and they posted this image. So of those years that Democrats were in charge, that was like over 70% of the time they were the ones in charge. Yes.
Starting point is 01:32:36 King? Yes. It's only the Trump term that they weren't in charge. Mm-hmm. I think. Yeah. And even when they lost the House in 2010, because we worked so hard to take the House back, they still kept the Senate. And then they ended up getting the House back later.
Starting point is 01:32:53 But they were controlling, they controlled Congress. It wasn't just the White House. They were controlling Congress. So over 70% of that time, they were in charge. so, I don't know. They posted that right after the other one. Good heavens. It's just crazy. The minimum wage, I think, is stifling, but that's a whole other, that's a whole other discussion. But this is where, I mean, it's just one of the dumbest things I think I've ever seen. I think it's like one of the biggest self-owns on social media from that party. And there's quite a lot of them on there. Like Hillary Clinton has a bunch, but this is a really bad one.
Starting point is 01:33:36 And they don't get it. I mean, do they not understand? Do they, just not expect any kind of accountability for their own actions. I literally have no idea what to make of this. What do I make of this? I don't even know what I even know. This is so goofy. I can't even believe this is the thing. It's so ridiculous. Oh my gosh. But that's the way it is. Now, the immigration issue, I don't know if you saw this. Greece is done. Greece. I know that was letting all these people come in on boats. They're overwhelmed. In fact, they've said, don't come here. We'll put you in jail or send you home. That's their new immigration minister. Their new Greek immigration minister, Thanos Pelvarez, said, we want to help real refugees, but we're not going to be taken
Starting point is 01:34:21 for fools. It is the end of the fairy tale for those coming to Greece in Europe in incredible numbers. These aren't women and children. They're mainly men aged between 1830 who are economic migrants. We are not a hotel. And they said that, yes, you are going to go to jail or you're going to get a ticket home if you try to come here illegally by boat to Greece. It may be too late though. I mean, personally, I think it's too late. On Crete, they had over 10,000 in one year.
Starting point is 01:34:50 The tiny little island of Crete. Yeah. They had 4,000 in the first week of this month alone after this guy, just right after he gets in office, they had a surge of 4,000 that arrived illegally on the island. I think there's a lot of places. I don't know if you can undo the damage it's been done. Lawlessness and the refusal to assimilate, which is a huge issue.
Starting point is 01:35:21 The refusal to assimilate is such an issue. That is part of what immigration is. You assimilate to the country to which you are immigrating. The country does not assimilate to you, the immigrant. You assimilate. It's how it is everywhere. It's how it is in the United States. You assimilate.
Starting point is 01:35:36 You assimilate in liberty. You don't try to bring tyranny here. So I just don't know if this is something that they're going to be able to undo. They're still fighting with the fallout of this in Italy. Italy has gotten very conservative and they've made a lot of really good moves. But they also have a crazy unemployment problem with their youth. Like the youth, I think like men under the age of 30, I think it's like 20% unemployment rate. It's insane.
Starting point is 01:35:57 It is crazy what's happening. And this is just obliterating, you know, it's obliterating the structure of countries and stability. Major. And it's all men. It's all due. it's not women and children and girls. It's all dudes. Coming into Britain,
Starting point is 01:36:10 is Kirstammer going to listen? They're having their own issue with built loads of people coming in. Are they going to listen? France didn't listen. France tried to get too tough too late. Austria. I mean, they might be able to stave it off and prevent it,
Starting point is 01:36:27 but, you know, it's just, it's an invasion. It's an invasion, but under the, behind the veneer of being a refugee. You know, it's like, I mean, this has always been an issue in this area, whether it's, you know, the Iberian, Iberian Peninsula, whether you're looking at Greece, whatever it is, going up through Europe and then the EU with their passport and travel regulations that just made it easier for everyone to get through. I mean, that was a big thing with Charlie Hebdo, remember?
Starting point is 01:36:58 I mean, it's the second time we talked about this today. In terms of people coming in from different nations and refusal to assimilate and wanting to attack everything that's not what they want.

So apparently Florida officials were saying that Democrats were pointing, where they were putting their thermometers near light bulbs at Alligator Alcatraz so that they could
Starting point is 01:37:30 pretend that it was really hot there. Yeah, that's what they were doing. Yeah, they could people, they were, the inmates, the visitors who thought they could come in illegally and I guess go to the Sofital in New York, they were really upset that instead they're, you know, an alligator alcatraz and they're getting cold ham sandwiches. Oh my gosh, not cold ham sandwiches, you absolute welfare grifting POSs. Oh my gosh. What were they saying? Get that audio. What were they saying like they wanted it toasted or something? Play this for me if we have this. They were mad because they wanted the. their sandwiches toasted and DeSantis blasted them for this and was like, are you people insane? He's like, this isn't a Jimmy Johns or what did he say? Was it, do you say that? Yeah, listen to this. This is funny.
Starting point is 01:38:18 Making these claims and they're saying, oh, they're not fed well. Well, first of all, they're fed the same that the staff is fed. You know, you go to like a, and it's not a prison. It's a deportation processing center. So it is different. But like in Florida prisons, do you think the prisoners get the same meals as the guards? No, of course not. It's different.
Starting point is 01:38:37 This is everyone's the same there, and they were mad that the ham sandwiches weren't toasted. Excuse me? I mean, give me a break. So DHS, you know, required there to be certain things. I know the legal was a part of that. There is recreation. People say there's not, and there is. People will show. So I'm confident that whatever is required will be set. This is assiname. They were mad, and they were. were. Can you believe that I'd eat a cold ham sandwich? Wasn't toasted? Where in the hell are these? I'm sorry, but you're not really a refugee if you're mad that your ham sandwich isn't toasted. You're just a grifter who thought that they could bust up into the United States illegally and try to guilt-trip
Starting point is 01:39:25 everyone into giving you welfare. That's all this is. Go the hell back home. Your sandwich wasn't toasted. Maybe if they get their teeth knocked out, they wouldn't have to worry about eating sandwiches. Okay, today's stupidity cane. Dang. Dang. All right, Juan, this is cut 23. I don't really think I have to set this up at all. It's Rashida Taleb, and she's got a giant metal spoon. She also has a giant condiment container metal that you see in delis and all you can eat buffets. Yeah, here.
Starting point is 01:40:00 This is what she's doing. This is all for you. She's doing it for Palestine. For what? Feel that. She's calling the goats to dinner. Feel all that effort she's making. It's the least I could do.
Starting point is 01:40:15 Literally. It is the least she could do. I haven't helped us all. Folks, that does it for us this week. Make sure you go sign up at Substack. Facebook and YouTube. Like and subscribe. Because sometimes we post stuff up on,
