I will do all that I can. And we have whistleblowers, actually, Maria, coming forward now after we release these documents because there are people who were around, who were working within the intelligence community at this time, who were so disgusted by what happened. We're starting to see some of them come out of the woodwork here because they, too, like you and I and the American people, want to see justice delivered. So we're going to provide everything that we have, everything that we will continue to get. to the Department of Justice for that direct intent and that direct purpose. There must be indictments, those responsible, no matter how powerful they are and were at that time, no matter who was involved in creating this treasonous conspiracy against the American people, they all must be held accountable. I feel like I know a lot of people are cheering the release of this information, and I'm not saying that we shouldn't release information like this, but what I am saying is that I really feel like we knew all of this already,

and this is kind of like the least that could be done in terms of, you know, some accountability and transparency in all of this. It feels just like that this was the least that could be done. And I don't know why people are, you know, like, I mean, I don't think that she did anything extraordinary. I just think that this is all stuff that we knew. And why is it taken this long to get any of this information? You know, that's the thing.

We all knew this. None of this is new information. We all knew what was happening in 2016. We all knew. I mean, good grief. We knew from the get-go that this went all the way up. I mean, I feel almost like it's the most boring damn radio on God's green earth to relitigate it all. Because we know it.

This is all crap that we know. like tell us some stuff that we don't know. Like, I don't know. Let's maybe actually unseal the files so we can actually get some justice in this unaccountable system as it pertains to, oh, I don't know, the Epstein files. I just feel like it's, I don't know, might be too harsh, Kane, because this is what I feel like this is. I think you might be a little tiny, but it's Monday, though, so I'm giving you a little bit of. Well, this is stuff that we know. Yeah, knowing it, but then having and creating a legal framework that.

there's not going to be any accountability. Nothing is ever going to happen from this. There weren't anything that Dems were doing to do that, number one. They never would have done it. And everything we knew, quote unquote, about this, was forever labeled as conspiracy theories and still to this very day. So we can know something. But having somebody at this level talk about it and then a legal framework behind it.

Yeah, it's a little different to me. I don't know. I'm just, maybe I'm more caustic than you are because I'm just like, I don't know, no, no. I don't know. I'm just like I said. I just, it's stuff that I feel like it's stuff that we know, we knew already. Now, can I have some stuff that we don't know? Now, can we, can we, like, can we know who's all on the clientele list? Can we know if we have any government agents that are actually, because we know, here's why I bring this up. And I'll, I'll do the greetings and salutations and all of that here in a moment. But this is why I bring all of this up.

because the situation with, you know, the Epstein files and everything else, this is all stuff that we were promised that we are supposed to know. And I am curious as to whether or not any members of Congress are implicated. I'm curious as to whether or not any other elected officials are implicated, maybe officials that, you know, governors or, you know, anybody does. Democrat presidential candidates and their husbands. I mean, you know, whose names might rhyme with Schmill Blinton. Things like that, you know. I would like some clarification on it because you guys remember the big story that took place where we had this, I'm actually pulling it up right now, where we had members of Congress who had to have, you guys remember the little secretive. what do I want to call it?

I can't think of the name of it. It's like it was like a slush fund to settle all of their sexual harassment cases. Okay. So we know that that's a real thing. That exists. Why wouldn't they also be, some of them wouldn't be compromised on this Epstein thing too, right? No, I'm not going to get over it. Literally, I'm not going to get over it.

Not going to happen. Just saying, just saying. I want some accountability because we know that we taxpayers have been paying off and settling cases of sexual assault or sexual harassment for members of Congress. I mean, we, that's a huge story that came out a few years ago. So yeah, that's why I'm like, can we please have some kind of accountability here in other things that we don't know? Because we know all the, we know this stuff with the collusion. And we also know nothing's going to come of it. Because if something were to come of it, something, I mean, there's not going to be.

the willpower in D.C. because Republicans are spineless. There's not going to be the willpower in D.C. to do anything like this. To do anything about it. So they're just going to throw it out in front of you and they're going to say, look, this happened. We all know it happened. What are you going to do about it? I'm so tired of hearing you guys talk about the same damn stuff every damn day, every damn week.

The same losers walk out there. Hey, Githwicketh. We got another binder. Hey, Gith Wich, we get the more information that you guys all know. Everybody knows all this stuff, right? Yeah, what are you going to do about it? What are you going to do about it? So hi. Welcome to the show.

Dana Lash with you. It's Monday. I'm just, it's just, I'm bored of, I'm bored of this whole thing like, oh, guess what, you guys? Look what we have? We know this. What are you going to do about it? What are you doing about it?

Because so far, I haven't seen anything. Now do you see my frustration, Kane? I do you get it now. I'm not being mean, I swear. I get it. I mean, maybe a little bit, but I'm really not. I just would like some more. That's the slush fun.

Let me pull the story up. I mean, the fund that Congress had to settle these sexual harassment cases, guys, it was almost $20 million. And then that was on top of the $17 million in sexual misconduct that Congress, we have already paid for Congress. This is fact. We've literally already paid $17 million in sexual misconduct cases. And this came out. It's from the Office of Compliance. It was set up in 1995 under the Congressional Accountability.

Act. And starting in 2002, the tallies began topping several million dollars. I'm going to repeat that last sentence. In 2002, the tallies started topping several million dollars. One more time for the kids in the back. In 2002, people elected to congressional office couldn't stop touching butts that weren't theirs, apparently, and had to settle for like several millions of dollars. So you see what I mean here. So over the past couple of decades, they've literally covered almost two hundred, 170 settlements and they paid out that much money. So this is why you can see my interest in that infamous Epstein list or and or files, whichever it is, unseal the grand jury documents, which they've started doing. Pam Bondi filed it. It was put it. It was put forward towards

DOJ. Okay, that's great. It's all dog and pony show until it happens. I'm done. We paid that much money. And those are Republican and Democrat lawmakers. Probably more Democrats than Republicans, but there are some ours on the list. These are all facts. So again, back to my original point. What are you going to do about it? What are you going to do? Do you think, imagine, I want you guys to think for a second. Can you imagine if you would have had like at your work, do you have a fund that pays off your sexual harassment claims that all the employees pitch into? Why are you breathing so deeply over there? Oh my gosh, Kane. Because when you don't have to spend your own money on things, you don't care as much. You just don't. So, oh, the people are going to pay for my sexual harassment stuff? I guess I just stopped doing it. I mean, heaven forbid they stop being horrors.

You know, heaven forbid. So this is why I really want the name on the list. This is why, I mean, I'm not downplaying the collusion stuff at all. However, this is just, we know these things. These are things that we know. And we've been told this stuff over and over again. I am going to not be satisfied until something's done about it. Until something is done about it.

And I don't know. The email disclosures, I thought that the press release was kind of, I thought what was revealed was anti-chalmactic as in proportion to what the statement, the press release was promising. because this wasn't any new information. And I don't know if it was just thrown out as a way to distract people from all the other stuff we're not getting. I don't know. But we need accountability on things. It's one, I mean, you can show us this stuff all day long, but so far this adds to the laundry list of things, corruption that we know that nothing was done about. And all it does is feed this two-tier system of justice

that most of us realize exists. All it does is feed this because you're just showing us more things that people are never going to be held accountable for. Barack Obama is living the good life with a mansion in Tom. It's Tom Selleck's old mansion out in Hawaii. And he's got his place up in Martha's Vineyard right on the coast, despite the fact that they were telling you all to go not live on the coast because of global warming, whatever. Just saying.

By the way, speaking of unaccountability, I'm not going to play it at the bottom of the hour after our headlines because we're probably not going to get past the soundbite. Hunter Biden has one of the worst vocal tones of a human. ever seen in my life or heard in my life. I don't know if it's his nasal cavity or what it is, but when he speaks, his voice gets sucked up to the nether regions of his head. And then it spits out and it sounds like a really annoying Ned Flanders on helium. I don't know how else to put it. He had the audacity to sit down and give an interview where he was moaning and complaining about everything from the way that he says his family was treated in the White House. And

He has all of this contempt for all the people who didn't walk the line with his dad. And he has no recognition of his own failings. It is truly a remarkable bit of audio. And God help me. It's Monday. It's not even, we're not even halfway through this first hour. And I'm already going to throw something. I'm not kidding.

Like, it's infuriating. Again, it further fuels this two-tier system of justice. So we're going to dive into this here coming up. We're also going to hit a few other things. we've got the fight over the Redskins name. Okay, fine. Change it back. I don't care.

Are we going to like abolish the IRS? All of this other stuff is warped on the ass of America's problems. Are we going to actually do any real, like, come on, I want, I, sugar and Coke, this is all great. Can I get some real stuff? Can I get, and by the way, apparently commanders was named after Custer, Custer being a commander. Did you know that that's where the name apparently came from? What do you think is worse? What do you think is worse?

Okay, just saying. So we're going to touch on this. We're also going to highlight some fun, super fun Democrat stuff because we've got had a few things happen over this over this week and including now the California, the rail, the high speed rail authority. They're suing Trump because they over like 15 years couldn't make their railroad work. They couldn't build it to make it work. So they're filing suit. We're going to get into that. and B.A. We've got, oh, oh, oh. I can't tell you how it's on the rundown. But Beto O'Rourke is back.

He's back, guys. He's back, and Hunter Biden gave an interview today. Kill us. Kill us now. Yeah. We're going to dive all into this as we move. I'm going to need some relief factor just to deal with the inflammation that's brought on by the sheer annoyance of having to talk about Hunter Biden and Bader O'Rourke. Two men that were two males put in a meat sack. that came out of the Democrat factory. This is how we're starting this. This is how Monday's going. Keltek, the PR-57. It's one of the latest from Keltek. It's the rotary barrel pistol, the PR-57, chambered in 57, 40% lighter than the competition, and works great for concealed carry.

The PR-57, they were able to make it lighter and thinner in a number of different ways, the way that they did it with a rotary barrel, number one, the unique top-loading design, number two, that replaces traditional magazines with stripper clips for slimmer carry profile in 20 plus one capacity. And it's a really quick and easy field strip. You also have low recoil for ease of use and accuracy as well, built to perform when it matters most. And it's affordable MSRP of only 399. It's Keltec made in America, family owned, based in Florida. Learn more at Keltecweapons.com.

K-E-L-TECWeapons.com. Tell them Dana sent you. So the Federal Reserve offices in D.C. are getting an extreme Soviet makeover. The Federal Reserve offices are getting a $2.5 billion renovation. For perspective, Jerry Jones built Cowboys Stadium for $1.15 billion. Check out the Watchdog on Wall Street podcast on Apple, Spotify, wherever you get your podcast. And now, all of the news you would probably miss.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five. All right. So first up, by the way, Lorraine was saying that the commanders doesn't have to be. have anything to do with General Custer. I'm pretending that it's true. Why not? Because they can do whatever. I'm doing, I'm identifying that as true. We're doing that. In and up, billionaire Lindsay Snyder, L-Y-N-S-I. Sure. Sure. Says that doing business is not easy here. Duh. Next. Would you go into debt for your pet? Some people are. Okay, these are dinks. They're dual-income, no kids. This is why you get dog insurance, by the way. If you're going to get a, a,

pretty high maintenance breed. You need dog insurance. It's a real thing. But they say that 68% of people who own pets. I love dogs. I do not say I'm a pet parent. They've said that they've made financial sacrifices

to cover essentials from taking a side. And I think that, you know, that's fine if you're going to, you know, save money for them or whatever. But I think that, you know, you got to be smart about it. You've got to be smart about things. Let's just be smart.

And they have, these people, I swear I feel like I'm reading something that was written by the people, uh, what's his face? Christopher Guest who did Beston Show. It's the USA Today. They have a whole pet section for the dinks, right? They said dinks, the dual income, no kids,

the dinks, they spend on average of almost $2,000 a year on their pets. Now, yes, if you're raising a child, not including college education or anything else, $23,000 a year to raise a child just, you know, without any of the bells and whistles.

So you have groomers, medication, but I do think that, I don't know, I have a whole theory about the whole pet thing. We'll talk more about it later because I'm going to get lost and we have other headlines. So we also have Andrew Cuomo who says he's going to move to Florida. If Zoron Mamdani becomes the New York City mayor. Well, you might want to because it's probably going to, he's totally going to weaponize government against you. I mean, that's what national socialists or what we would call Nazis for short do. That's your problem for killing old people in New York.

It's apparently your loneliness is killing you. Is the story? Is it though? Is the loneliness the thing that's giving you the heart attack when you're young and healthy? Literally. Is it? Literally. They say it's a grim new report from the World Health Organization that told everyone to go out and get experimental injections. So basically, almost a million people a year, they say 100 every hour are killed

from loneliness and that we are all technically more connected at any point than human history, but also more disconnected at any point through human history. It's really true. Social isolation. Maybe it's because you made everyone stay home for two years. and you shut down work and invite all of you people die in an AIDS fire. I'm not kidding. Die in the most hellacious AIDS fire for what you did to two generations of people.

And there's no accountability for it. Further fueling my rage at the two-tier system of justice that we're going to discuss further with this glorious Hunter Biden audio that's coming up after this headline segment. You're going to want to sit down, grab yourself something that you're not going to throw and scald yourself or your neighbors with. And we're going to have a little listen here. We've got a lot to kick off with still. Stick with us.

Now I'm always going to tell you to Carrie. And I have no problem using lethal force to protect my life or someone else's life. But I also think that there are instances where you're disarmed due to municipal restrictions or private property restrictions. So it's always good to have diversified options in your weapons array. So the Burna compact launcher is a suggestion for one of those diverse options in your weapons array. It's as small as a smartphone, but it can deter threats. It's like maybe the length of a cell phone. So if you don't know what the burn a gun does, it shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away, right?

So if you think of like stun guns and things of that nature, you got like maybe one or two rounds in those with a burner gun. You have five. The burner CL is their newest and it's the most compact model that they have. But the thing is is that there is no background check. There's no waiting period. You don't have to have a license for it. It's illegal in all 50 states. It doesn't care about gun-free zones. And it can be shipped directly to your door. So it's very accessible for everyone. I mean, you have different calibers and you carry blades. It's always good to have something for when you're disarmed by, like I said, municipal. Or what if you're a college kid?

Like, who's going back to college? That's just weeks away. And you're not old enough to carry a handgun for self-defense, but you're living by yourself. So, yeah, this is an option that you may want to consider as well. Visit burnah.com slash Dana and check out the new Burna-C-L. That's B-Y-R-R-N-A.com slash Dana.

Well, for someone, and might be like all these Democrats say, you have to talk about and realize that people are really upset about illegal immigration. F*** you. How do you think your hotel room gets cleaned? How do you think you have food on your fucking table? Who do you think washes your dishes? Who do you think does your garden?

Who do you think is here by the, sheer just grit and will that they figured out a way to get here because they thought that they could give themselves and their family a better chance. And he's somehow convinced all of us that these people are the fucking criminals.

I think you need to cuss more, you crackhead. Because maybe if you cuss more, your brain will at some point be able to find the words that it needs to make some sort of sentient point. Welcome back to the program. That's a former first crackhead. Hunter Biden who I don't know who he was talking to who was that with I don't even I don't care but yeah I just I think it's it's so lame he's why is it that when Democrats talk about immigration they

never talk about people that come in the country legally and then they start you know creating businesses and you know they actually have some lofty goals for themselves Democrats are always mad because it's always their slave labor that everyone, they think everyone's targeting. Oh my gosh, like, who's going to wash our toilets? Like, oh my gosh,

who's going to do our yards? Like, oh my gosh, who's going to cook our meals? Like, oh my gosh, who's going to raise my kids? Oh, my gosh. That's all I hear from these people. Some things never change.

No, they never changed. They have that slave owner mentality and it still exists today. I mean, it's like, I mean, am I watching? No, you guys are just, you guys punked me, didn't you? You guys played a deleted

scene from Django Unchained, didn't you? No. Yes, you did. That's a scene from Django on chain. That's not. I mean, I can see where the confusion is. It sounds just like it. It's really not. It's very, very recent. I don't know. I feel like I'm being punked here and they're just plain me deleted scenes. I mean, that's, I mean, that's what it sounds like. He's mad because he's, he's, he thinks that the only jobs that he ever mentions are the, like, those, like, menial labor. Are those the only immigrants that they know?

I mean, I'm really going to ask this question. Do Democrats not know any actual, like, immigrants? Do they know any actual Mexicans? I ask this because these are the jobs that they always mention. I mean, who's going to do this stuff? And I don't know why. Can we get over to this awkward cussing thing that they're doing on the left? It's so cringe.

I'm dying a slow death. I don't know what's worse. Hearing that or, like, I don't know. Smod. better. But this, it's, that's what it is. You're, they're upset because it's their slave labor. They're, they want to bring in people that will do this work so they don't have to pay them decent wages. That's really what it is. That's all it is. And he feels, he's really feeling himself because he's, you know, he's got that pardon. But I, I think also, too, does he think that,

that it almost sounds like he believes every single person who emigrates to the United States is an illegal immigrant or that that's the only thing that they can do that these jobs are the only things that immigrants can do which I find incredibly racist to think this I mean it's like you're you're listening to the manifestation in meat space of I hate saying this phrase white privilege complain about having to pay decent wages to people who are here legally. Has he ever modal on? Do you think he's ever

modal on? He smokes some grass, probably. Yeah, smoking the grass is not the same thing as cutting the grass. I don't know. Maybe he's upset because it's cocaine price increased because of the border closure. I don't know. Maybe something clearly has him all in a tizzy.

Yeah, who do you think, how do you he said he listed, how does your hotel room get clean, how do you have food on your table, who washes your dishes? Why couldn't it be that, yeah, me, I do those, but why couldn't it be something like, oh, what is the restaurant that made the food that you're eating? Like, why is it never anything loftier, right? Where's the farm that you got your produce? Like, they never asked those questions.

They never asked, well, who is the maker of the toilet in your home that you had? They never, you know, like, just say, why couldn't people who immigrate to the country own any of these businesses? Democrats never put them in that role. It's always, well, how does this get cleaned or how does this menial task get completed? Or how does this menial task get completed? It's this. It is the absolute racism of zero expectations. That's exactly what this is.

That's just incredibly hurtful. I mean, if you come into the country legally and you're hearing this, I mean, I can't even imagine. That's just so ignorant to say this stuff. But this is Hunter Biden. By the way, Hunter Biden, he cares so much about illegal immigrants. and said he literally blamed him. Remember, okay, so this gets confusing. So do you remember when Hunter Biden's brother kicked the bucket?

Although Joe Biden changes the story all the time. Maybe he's alive. But when his older brother kicked the bucket, Hunter Biden cheated on his wife with his sister-in-law. Remember that? So he had both wives. And then he got his sister-in-law, apparently introduced her to crack.

And then he also decided that he was going to blame. He literally decided to blame his missing hand. gun on quote, shady and probably illegal Mexicans, not even making this up. Not making it up. Daily Mail, I hate the publication, but they have the actual story where they wrote about this. They get into how the police report, which was published for the first time this week, so it was published today. This was all back in 2018. The police report, that's when it was first filed. He was trying to blame his missing handgun on Mexican workers at a Delaware supermarket. So when his sister-in-law slash lover-slash-mistress, yeah, when he illegally bought his handgun,

he was high as a kite. Remember, he lied on his 44-73. Nothing ever came of it because, you know, the rules are different for Democrats. His sister-in-law slash lover-mistress stole it and then threw it in this trash can that was it was this like tiny supermarket that was literally across the street from an elementary school you can actually go on google maps and stand at the intersection and you can see the supermarket on one side and the school on the other so literally tossed it in a public trash can it's at jansen supermarket in wilmington and it was across the street from a school and then they found it and so he actually was blaming this was first public in 2021. He actually started then blaming this little, it's like a little boozy supermarket. I was trying to think of what it's similar to. It's kind of like a central market whole foods kind of. It looks fancy. I've never been in one. But he told the officer, Sergeant Vincent Clemens. This is what Hunter Biden in his interview with police. This is literally what he said. Quote, they have some shady people working at the market. And then he pointed to two Mexican storeworkers and said they were probably illegal.

probably illegal is literally how it's written in the police report. So Hunter Biden is so mad at you mean, oh, Republicans for bringing it, oh, you guys don't. I mean, who's going to clean your toilets and stuff? Well, who's going to be your scapegoat for, you know, your sister-in-law slash lover throwing your cracked out handgun in a trash can across from a school? Who's going to be the scapegoat for that if we're not allowing illegal aliens to come in? Oh my gosh. He went in the police report.

Why is this coming out just now? Why is this? It's just not coming up. Because of that pardon, baby? So he can say all this stuff. And remember, the police were worried because literally the supermarket, I said elementary school, I meant high school. Sorry, the elementary school is down the road. But it was directly across the street from the school. And police were very concerned because they did not want, apparently kids go, they'll go to that market and get snacks and stuff. They were very nervous that kids would have found that gun in the trash can.

Yeah. So. And. And that's, yeah, that's literally what he said. That's, uh, so he was worried, Kane about the prolly, prolly illegal. Well, so in that statement, think about it. He says shady Mexicans. So right off the bat, there's no nothing illegal about them. They don't have to be breaking the law, nothing. They're just shady.

So he thinks of Mexicans is shady. Step number one. Number two, then he goes on to say prolly illegal. So he thinks that Mexicans, whether he knows they're illegal or not, he's just going to assume that they're illegal. Yeah. So that's his baseline stance. That's his true baseline stance there. So everyone's clear.

It said two of Jansson's employees described by the police report as Mexican males walked past the loading dock area. And Hunter told a police officer that the store had suspicious people working for it. asked if he was referring specifically to those two staff members, Hunter responded, yeah, probably illegal and gestured to them. That was in the police report. Yeah. It's just the drugs talking. He's, wow.

Lorraine reminds me, too, do you remember when Kelly Osborne was on the view? And she said, well, who's going to be cleaning people's toilets, you know, Mexicans? She literally said that. She actually did get some pushback for it. Rightfully so, because it was a stupid thing to say. So where's the pushback for, you know, former first crackhead of the White House? Where's the pushback for that?

I mean, Democrats own him. They own him. He's blaming his cracked out handgun purchase that was thrown in a trash can at a supermarket on illegal Mexican immigrants. This is who the Democrats are. But he's the big racist. or no, Republicans are the big racist.

Or holding law. And that's even after he does this interview where he says, well, who's going to be doing all these menial tasks? Who's going to be doing this stuff for you? Who's going to be cleaning your, you know, your house and who's going to be, you know, washing your toilets? And who's going to be doing this stuff? Who's going to be baking your food? He's going to be doing your yard? Yeah, that's the thing.

Yeah, I'll do that. Why does that, do they, is that just like a, you know, speaking of foreign, is that a foreign concept of them? I think so. They think that that, they're just so weird. You know, I was thinking about this. Think about all of these like first sons. So like Jack Schlossberg, I think is his name. That guy, oh, he's all Schlossberg.

That guy is a nut. And he's on social media. He's the grandson of JFK Jr. Or no, sorry, grandson of JFK. JFK Jr's his uncle. His mother is Caroline, who was, is the daughter of Jackie and JFK. And

apparently, he didn't get invited to the Big Kennedy Fourth of July gathering because they're blacklisting people that they don't like, and they don't like RFC Jr. and they don't like him. But it's these first sons.

Like him and then Hunter Biden, there's this issue on the left. Like even JFK Jr. had his issues. Didn't they say he was basically like a spoiled Nupo baby who was given basically a magazine to run to boost his political profile and he was running that in the ground. And then he tried to fly a plane and he ended up flying it right into the damn water because he just was too smart to listen to anybody else who were saying that there was fog in the area, et cetera, et cetera. There's a serious problem

with Democrat first sons. Look at, look through history. When, is there a normal one? I don't think so. I don't think there is. If the Obama's had a son, he'd be just as messed up. What is with the first sons on the Democrat side? We have more on the, the way as we roll towards pays of these United States and as we do so. We all need relief factor because I have aches and pains. I have aches and pains right now brought on not brought on by sports injury like my husband. My husband has sports injuries and so he has to take relief factor so he doesn't complain the entire time that he's lifting weights in the gym. I need relief factor because I have to deal with the aches and pains of having like I just told you to talk about beta auroric. But here's the thing.

Seriously though, it's a drug-free supplement that's designed to help manage aches and pains naturally. And so it combines powerful ingredients like turmeric, omega-3 fatty acids, resveratrol, and more to target inflammation and support your joint health. It's 100% drug-free, develop to support your body's natural healing process. You don't have to stay stuck living with pain. There's no reason. Try relief factors three-week quick start for just 1995. It's less than a dollar a day and you can support a veteran-owned company and see the difference for yourself. That's relieffactor.com or call 1-800-4-relate. That's 1-800, the number four, relief.

What will it take? He's going to arrest every artist that, uh, disagrees with him and pretty much every artist does. Whether or not they're brave enough to say it is another thing. Is she actually calling Stephen Colbert an artist? That's a way to abort all artistry in the country by acting like Stephen Colbert, some sort of like artist. Seriously, that's white, geez, Rosie O'Donnell,

at least put a filter on. Make it at least somewhat palatable for the rest of us. If you can't put a filter on, then just put a bag over your face. It does the same thing. welcome it's true welcome back to the show dana lash with you uh yeah i um is she's still in ireland not coming back i guess which is totally fine if she's not but yeah so she it's first off he was losing i mean in the the monetary amount that he was costing that network is coming out and it's astronomical it is like really stunning how much money he was costing that network it's

pretty unbelievable. But it's not, again, if you're underperforming and you're fired, that's not censorship. That's called a job. Do these people, are they just so unfamiliar with the concept of working that they don't understand the give and take relationship that is an employment agreement? Every day. These people, every single day. Between her and Hunter Biden and then we got Bader Aurora coming up, geez, just a stellar Monday. Can we just have like, I don't know, some smod come in. That would be great. Have smod come in now. So she's, what did she call ISIS, own personal Gestapo? Words have meanings. Like, maybe use them correctly, because they invoke different things. They describe different things. Federal agents that are doing the jobs

that are enforcing the law written by the people you elect. I mean, if they're the Gestapo, then what do you call the people who elect the lawmakers who then write the laws that these people enforce? And again, keep in mind that most Democrats, actually the Democrat leadership is what's off base from the rest of Democrats. Most Democrats, they don't mind enforcement of actual immigration law.

They don't really like, you know, unfettered, lawless immigration. They don't really like it. So, you know, good heavens. I mean, this words have meaning. Although she wants to describe herself as Gestapo. I mean, I know she is on the left. You know, and that they share, have these traits that they share. So coming up, this is what else we have to get to.

We have some of the latest is it where we got, there's so many, I'm not going to play all the sound bites from Hunter Biden because we can't censor all that much. And it's just an endless stream of beeps. But California, their unemployment is. now the highest in the country. I wonder how Gavin Newsom is going to spend that. The Redskins versus commanders name. We've got this. We also have, Beto O'Rourke is trying, well, he's being recruited by Democrats to encourage Democrats to become ruthless. We'll discuss this. We've got a lot of stuff to hit still. Second hour on the way. The folks over at Angel Studios. If you're wondering why it's

so hard to find like decent entertainment that reflects our values, these days and upholds, you know, the American, it celebrates American exceptionalism. You're not alone.

You say it sounds confusing, but others might say it's hypocritical, that you're saying this is a horrible thing and it's members of Congress choosing their voters instead of the other way around. And now Democrats need to embrace it. You know, I think that Democrats have been so scared of being branded as Hippercise as hypocrites or coloring outside of the lines, that it is absolutely paralyzed them in this struggle for power in America. You don't see the other side worrying about any of that at all.

What is he even talking about? Can you just bear with me for a second, guys? I got to think out loud for a minute. Actually, Kane and I, we're going to have a sidebar meeting. Hold the show for a minute. Welcome, blah, blah, blah. Hang on. All right. I mean, did they send out the stupidest people for soundbites for the weekend? The dumbest. the dumbest Democrats on God's Green Earth. Did they send them, did they just say, hey, we're going to send them out to do all the interviews over the weekend? Because we want to implode our part. The dumbest people, right?

It's bad enough what we just heard, but there's more. Hi, welcome to the show. Dana Lash with you, top of the second hour. On a monier, why does he start out with, oh, he noticed how he has these things where he starts out like that. Well, yeah. He has this thing that he does where he starts out like that and he says these things. He's out of all the, why is that, why are they talking to him? You would think that that people in the media would go, can we find a Democrat that can

win some things? Can we find a Democrat that can, that has won some races maybe to talk about these issues so possible? We have anybody that's won anything that doesn't sound completely. ridiculous. Is it possible to have any of those people on? He's, I guess, being recruited to give a weird pep talk to Democrats somehow, Beto or Roark, because they're very Democrats are in a very weird spot. You have Hunter Biden, who is talking about racist, talking about how he's racist and dropping all kinds of F bombs in his interviews.

He's going out, I guess, finally he feels he's protected enough. He can defend, try to go out and defend his father. Now you have Bader or Wark. There's a ton of Hunter Biden stuff out there. I think he says the F word, every other word. And then you have now Bader or Wark, who also says this, whatever audio soundbite, this is 7. Kill us now, please.

Sorry. It's just mundane. We're playing Petter Warwick. Go ahead. match fire with fire. I think Democrats in the past too often have been more concerned with being right than being in power. And we've seen the Republicans only care about being in power regardless of what is right. So you support the Newsom effort because California right now has an independent commission that does districts in as fair a way as possible and nonpartisan as possible. You're saying Democrats should, even though you don't approve of it, Democrats should do it too.

We have to get serious. We have to be absolutely ruthless about getting back in power. So, yes, in California, in Illinois, in New York, wherever we have the trifecta of power, we have to use that to its absolute extent. And then the last thing, this may end up biting Republicans in the ass. You have the possibility that they will disperse Republican voters to make up these three or four or five new congressional districts and put those districts in place. So in Texas, we've got to get out there and register and meet the voters who are going to decide the outcomes in these next elections if they're successful with this redistricting. Our group powered by people is doing this right now on the ground. It's law. When you have this many new people come in, first off, you're going to get additional.

I mean, it's going to change the seat. When you have people that shift around in counties, it's going to change the map. It desperately needs to be redrawn. And if you want to have a discussion about gerrymandering, let's talk about what we're changing. it from. What do you mean? They're going to put that in motion? Oh, my gosh.

Like, I cannot. He has no clue what he's talking about. So if you're just joining us, it's Robert Ororke, Beto O'Rourke. Remember, his dad gave him a Hispanic nickname and he told the Dallas Morning News years ago that he did it to ingratiate him with the Hispanic community. So he literally was appropriating. I don't know what he says that Democrats have to get more ruthless. More ruthless than what?

Like Democrats have to get. Democrats have to get more ruthless in terms of, as Kane noted, flying illegal immigrants all around the country. Democrats have to get more ruthless than allowing the deluge of illegal immigration at the border. Democrats have to get more ruthless than what than actually colluding to try to rob people of a free and fair election. Democrats have to, that's the problem. I mean, if you listen to Bader or work, he's telling you exactly what Democrats are doing that's not working. And he wants you to do more of it. I mean, I don't want Democrats to win, but I also think that there needs to be alternatives that I still don't like, but that aren't just completely bat redacted crazy either, which is what we're getting with the left. I mean, you're out of the Democrat Party, you're getting, I mean, they're socialists. I've been saying they're socialist for 15 years now and they are. I'm glad that everyone's realizing in the media that they are socialist. Used to, you couldn't go on a conservative network and really say that. It was kind of, you know, really kind of frowned on.

But now it's completely accurate because they're not hiding it anymore. I mean, when you're talking about free things for everyone and free college and free this and free that, free being the operative word, I guess people are just giving up their services and time for free. When you're discussing free groceries and state-owned grocery stores, yeah, that's pretty much socialism. So he's out there saying that they have to get more ruthless. The problem has been the ruthlessness. People, voters are not responding to that. voters are not responding to just, you know, the policy of just bitching and moaning. What have they put forward?

Seriously ask this. What have they actually put forward except complaints? Okay, they don't like the economy. How would they change the economy for the better? They can't answer that. I think they, I think it's a combination of some of them can't because they just don't understand basic economic principle. But I also think that they don't want to answer that because that they know that that means they have to be honest about what their party's policies. are. What do you mean get more ruthless? How can they get any more ruthless than what they've been?

They literally worked with big tech to shut people's voices down on social media. They suppressed stories about the first crackheads abandoned laptop. That was a real story and they suppressed it. People were arrested for trying to go back to work. How do you become more ruthless than that? How do you become more ruthless? than literally colluding with social media to stop discussion of a Chinese virus. How do you get more ruthless than that? How do you get more ruthless than arresting people who tried to work during lockdown? How do you get more ruthless than shutting down the damn country? How do you get more ruthless than sending pallets of cash to Iran?

How do you, and appeasing a force that has blown up, I don't know how many American servicemen. How do you get more ruthless than that? How do you get more ruthless than sending jobs overseas? How do you get more ruthless than raising taxes and creating such an inhospitable business climate that we are literally offshoring every job and every bit of manufacturing that we possibly can in order to save cash from our punitive system? How do you get more ruthless than that? How do you get more ruthless than telling people that they can't eat proteins, that their body needs, that their bodies were designed to consume and digest? How do you get more ruthless than that? How do you get more ruthless than telling people that they can't, they can't drive what cars they want to drive?

Or they shouldn't have air conditioning. And if they do, they shouldn't put it below 80. How do you get more ruthless than that? This is the problem. And they've been going out there every single one of them. Do they have a quota of F bombs that they have to drop in every one of their interviews in order to sound legitimate? Or do they have like a quota of cussing that they have to meet? And I say this is someone who's only vice is my mouth.

but even I'm like, that's just cringe. That's like somebody who's a dork trying to be cool. Stop it. But they think that that makes them look tougher. That's not the problem. The problem isn't that it's not an issue of whether or not they look tough. It's an issue of whether or not they're relatable. These people do not look relatable.

My gosh, when you have all of these lily white Democrats up there going, oh, well, who's going to be washing our cars and picking our strawberries and cleaning our toilets if we don't allow these illegal immigrants? to come in. Oh my gosh, could you be more unrelatable than that? Who's going to mow our yards? You know, because the only jobs apparently that a legal immigrant, that any immigrant can do is menial task that's unwanted by the American

left. It's just crazy. How do they get more ruthless than that? If they listen to people like Beto or Rourke, they're, I mean, golly. Yeah, as Kane said, who's going to, if we don't have illegal immigration, who's going to pick our cotton? Oh my gosh. If we don't have this, if we don't have this sub-clothed,

class of people to do these tasks. How is it going to happen? If we don't have this, this class of people to pick our cotton, who's going to pick our cotton? They're the same people. They are the same people as they always have been. Good night. Are any of them going to wake up and realize this? They go out and they say these things, the straight faces. It's just really stunning to me. Now, that being said, I had to, let me pull this up because I had a couple of other lines here that We're pretty crazy, especially, ooh, California, speaking of which, so the left. So California's unemployment rate has risen to the highest in the country. This is the San Francisco Chronicle.

And what is sure to make, absolutely sure to make Gavin Newsom live it, because, you know, he's out there trying to show California as, you know, this is the blue dream, right? This is the state that is, this is the state that is the dream for Democrats. the number of jobs in San Francisco and San Mateo counties, they said they, I mean, they really didn't move. Everything else dropped. I mean, dropped literally into the gutter. They said that the state lost over 6,000 jobs. And that is, they also had nine over, almost 10,000 layoffs, actually, in business and professional services. And, oh, guess the sector of jobs where they actually saw a gain, government jobs.

they saw all other sector shrink but they saw an increase in government jobs came that's not a gain oh it's a gain in jobs look he's out there creating government jobs it's definitely not a gain their unemployment raised their unemployment rate excuse me rose about 0.7 percentage points so now it's 4.2% for june so yes the only the government sector the governments they had more government jobs but all the other sectors shrank they say said, oh, well, the change is, you know, it's ongoing slowdown in the tech sector, the high cost of living and some of the state and local and state employment policies that make hiring more costly than other parts of the state. Yeah, Democrat policies. Because who's run that

era? Was Reagan the last Democrat there? Or sorry, kind of Republican there? He switched. Arnold Schwarzenegger, didn't he run as a Republican or am I thinking? Are you serious? I thought he did. I mean, he did, but he was like virtually indistinguishable from a Democrat. I don't think that counts. Those don't count. I mean, especially when you have a Democrat state legislature, it's like a super majority, nothing's going to change. So, I mean, is anybody, do you think Gavin Newsom's going to explore the wise of how his state

now has the highest unemployment rate in the nation on his podcast? Because he spent an inordinate amount of time bashing states like Alabama, bashing Mississippi. He's bashed like all of these southern states. He's bashed Texas. He's bashed Florida. I'm just very curious if this is, you know, he's finally number one in something. He's number one in unemployment. Wow, he's the unemployment governor. Great job, Gavin Newsome. Taking charge of your health is easier with all family pharmacy.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick 5. Ooh, boy. All right. So, yeah, this usually is what happens when you have Democrats that run things. So in Atlanta. Their population boom, their growth streak has come to an end. A lot of residents are leaving. They want more affordable metro areas if they want to live in the metro. They're

either leaving for other more affordable cities or they're leaving for the burbs. They're done with it. And that's kind of common when you talk about Democrat leadership in these cities. Area 51 staff, they've been guarding a top secret project. I've been hearing about this for a long time and they were left with fatal diseases after guarding this. They've had security guards at Nevada, their test and training range known as Area 51. Essentially, they said that they're built in the 70s and they said, but it's been contaminated with radiation because they had years of nuclear testing out there. But they said that they're not offered medical care, whether it's by U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or elsewhere, and they have not been able to actually prove that

they were exposed to radiation. And that's like, I guess, the big thing. The several, including some have gone on the record, like a former Air Force sergeant, said that the left side of his brain was atrophene. He told the VA that he was one of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, that he was one of the luckier ones. Apparently, there are hundreds of others that have had severe illnesses fatal since working at this former nuclear site.

Yeah, you got to, if you don't expect people, there's a bad history of this. Just going to say, there's a bad history. history of us in military and you want to talk about recruitment you better be fixing how you take care of our veterans because that's your biggest problem with recruitment right there uh also a suspect hits over a dozen cars after he took off in a stolen fire engine good night uh those look hard hard to drive i'm just going to say big oh giant fire engine uh this was in ever at washington and the guy hit a dozen cars at least five separate accident scenes so it took a long time for cops to try to uh contain all of that And a new $200 student, well, this is done.

Not to be

nice. Number one, I agree with Quentin Tarantino. George Clooney is not a actor. He is a like, I don't know

what he is. He's a brand. And by the way, and God bless him. You know what? He supposedly treats his friends really well. You know what I mean?

Bys them things. And he's got a really great place in Lake Como and he's great friends with Barack Obama. Fuck you. What do you have to do with fucking anything?

Why do I have to listen to you? What right do you have to step on a man who's given 52 years of his life to the service of this country and decide that you, George Clooney, are going to take out basically full-paid at. I don't know why he's mad at George Clooney. There was so much in this audio, this interview that he gave where he was, I still think

it's like, it's insane. This is some of the stuff that, because he went after everybody from James Carville. He went after David Axelrod. He went after Rahm Emanuel. He went after, I guess all these people that he thinks were part of pushing his his father out, I guess, somehow. And I don't know, I don't hold any of those. I don't know why they think that those people are responsible for pushing out Joe Biden when, I mean, it's Joe, clearly his health did not allow him to do this job. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you. That's that insane interview that Hunter Biden gave, which I think,

is normally I would just kind of roll my eyes and shrug my shoulders and, you know, be like whatever, but I think it serves a couple of different purposes. And in terms of playing it for you. The first, obviously, is I think that there is a serious, it's a serious example of two-tier system of justice. Because, you know, as he's going on and on, and we talked about this last hour, illegal immigration, and as he's saying that it's a racist to have borders and all this stuff, You know, he was also accused Mexicans of apparently the crime of throwing his, yeah, sorry, shady, thank you can't, quote, quote, shady Mexicans of apparently, that's the reason why his gun was in a, he blamed them for the trash can, the gun and the trash can across the street from the school, where his sister, sorry, it gets confusing, sister-in-law lover, side piece, tossed it into the trash can across the piece from the school. Then he was, then he was going off about illegal immigration.

And there was this one insane soundbite where he was lamenting, I guess, the fact that, you know, Kilmar, Brago Garcia was sent to El Salvador. And he said, if I was the president, I would invade. He said this in this interview. He said, if I was the president, I would call him up. I would call the president of El Salvador. And I would be like, you're going to, you know, basically release this guy or I'm going to invade. Wow. So the reason this brings me to.

to the second reason why I think playing this is important. He was in the White House making decisions. Now, I know that they're trying to backtrack that now because they realize how horrible it looks and they have no cover anymore because everyone else is kind of given up on Joe. And all the Bidens are trying to do right now is save Joe Biden's legacy because that's, you know, still some kind of money-making opportunity for them. but he was there and there were numerous stories and there were numerous confirmations of how he was living in the White House. He was living in the White House and he was also involved in some pretty high level meetings. He was going there with Joe Biden. He was going to these high level meetings with Joe Biden. He was traveling with him internationally.

He was sitting there when he would have his cabinet meetings. That came out. This is the type. I mean, you heard what he, well, you didn't hear it, but you, that soundbite where he literally was saying, I'm going to invade El Salvador. That's just insane. If I was president, I would have invaded. Can you imagine if this had happened while his dad was still in the White House?

This is the stuff that he would be telling his dad. Yeah, you need to call it the president of El Salvador. And I'm going to invade El Salvador. Unless what? Unless you return a human trafficking, wife beating resident, literally of, El Salvador that you hear if they don't send their citizen back you're going to invade them what Kane's face is so his eyes are so wide right now I can see them all the way well I mean it was Biden that threatened Ukraine with holding back a billion dollars if they didn't have a prosecutor fired

so it seems like yeah he learned it from watching him he did doesn't he sound like Joe He sounds like Joe Biden. You hear the young jack wagon Joe Biden in these interviews coming out in Hunter, don't you? So I always said, Joe Biden, this idea that he's like some harmless grandpa, dude is a jack wagon. He's always been a jack wagon. If you go and look at any of the stuff that he did when he was younger, any of the times that he was, you know, on the Senate floor, he was a jerk. Hunter Biden sounds just like him, but that's a very good point. He, because if you remember, he, I mean, they didn't he, he had Hunter on that trip with him, too, if I remember.

And Joe Biden was, he wanted to withhold. I'm going to look at my digital files for this. Yeah. He did not want, remember that prosecutor was the one who was investigating some of the nefarious criminal activity involving Burisma, right? And that, ooh, he remember that whole story because who is on the board of Burisma? Hunter, yeah. Exactly. And Burisma was actually under scrutiny. It just wasn't public. I know USA Today was trying to do a walk around it, but there's conflicting reporting to what USA Today was saying. They were absolutely, there was a lot that was on the radar already with Burisma. There was a lot of suspicion. And also USA Today did say yes, he did. It is true that Joe Biden leveraged a billion dollars in aid to get Victor Schokin fired. Victor Schokin was the top prosecutor. And that was back in March of 20. 2016. And they're trying to say, well, you know, it wasn't really because, you know, because

of Burris. No, no, no. It was because he was actually getting too close to it. He was getting too close to the whole Burrismithing and the fact that Hunter Biden was on that board. And so he absolutely did. Now remember when Trump was talking to Zelensky, remember, and he was discussing, you know, any kind of aid, et cetera. They were trying to accuse Trump of doing the very thing that actually Joe Biden had done. And that was ultimately the veneer behind which they claimed was that they said that that was the justification for impeaching Trump the first time when they, in his first term. They impeached him because of, oh, his call with Ukraine and he was trying to withhold funding. And he wasn't trying to withhold funding. He wanted accountability

from funding. He never said he was going to withhold funding. In fact, he gave e. Greenlit funding. So that was that was stupid. That was all fake. But they were. trying to say that Trump was doing actually exactly what Biden ended up doing. Nothing ever happened with Biden. Nothing ever happened with him at all whatsoever. And Biden was on stage, and we played that audio, he was on stage bragging about it. He was talking about how he had used, you know, his authority as vice president at the time. He had used his authority to really kind of, you know, muscle over and get this independent prosecutor, get this investigator out. So he was bragging about that. So, yeah, when you hear Hunter Biden make these, like, claims and demands,

that's, it sounds very much, it sounds just like his dad, just like his dad. So again, this isn't good for Democrats because it hires this, it highlights this double tier, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, things. I want to make sure that we're getting into. So this, we were talking about some of the classified records earlier that had been declassified that showed, yes, he was trying to sabotage the transition of power in 2016. This is all stuff that we knew. And I, I, I don't want you to misunderstand and think that I am in any way unhappy that all of what we know is now, you know, even more confirmed than it was before because it was already pretty confirmed. My complaint is this. I feel like sometimes

these bureaucrats give us things like this. Like, for instance, we knew that the Obama administration was abusing U.S. intelligence and was doing everything that they could to concoct some, you know, these ridiculously false claims to substantiate a need to spy on their political opponents, right? So we all know this. And we all know because we've had, you know, the FISA judge that had to resign. We've had Hillary Clinton and the DNC that were fined for not disclosing all of this stuff in relation to hiring fusion GPS, et cetera. We know these things. My complaint in that, oh, well, here's these declassified records. Well, I don't want that to be the substitute of action on accountability. And I feel like so often it is, it's like the bureaucrats, they throw us a bone. Like, oh, yeah, you guys were right. Here's the five. And then we're like, oh, that's great. And then we talk about it for two weeks. And then nothing ever happens. And then it kind of, you know, just slides off of the out of our, our immediate focus. And I don't, that's, I don't want that to happen here. And I feel like without any sort of follow through, that's what's going to happen. Right. I mean, this is, we all knew this. I mean,

the coup wasn't, there was no coup on January 6th. There was a coup leading up to 2016 and even after. Do you guys remember going into 2016? I think it was at a debate or was a campaign speech. And can you, we don't have to pull up the audio, but do you remember this? When Trump was talking about Russian involvement, potential Russian involvement in the election because it came out, and this was like September, October of 2016, it came out that the DNC servers had been hacked. And you guys remember this story. And the DNC servers were hacked. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who was head of the DNC at the time, was asked,

we need to have, you know, do you want a forensic investigation? And she was saying, no, no, no, we're investigating it ourselves. And I always thought it was weird that they never wanted a full and thorough independent investigation to see what was or wasn't compromised. And Trump had mentioned it on the campaign trail. And then it came out. I think it was an interview that Barack Obama was giving in favor of Hillary Clinton, one of the like a few times that he actually spoke up in favor of her. He said that, oh, well, you know, there's no Russian.

That's so silly. He goes, there's no way that anybody could steal an election. He said it's because it's too decentralized. And there's no way. So Trump needs to just stop whining about this and just focus on, you know, campaigning. He was saying it as basically he was accusing Trump of trying to set up this idea. that he wouldn't win in 2016 because of election theft, right? And Barack Obama was raining all over it.

And he suggested that Trump was stupid for even being afraid of it. Like, oh, no, voting is so decentralized. There's no way this could happen. Well, then he won in 2016. And all the Democrats were saying, oh, my gosh, the Russians stole the election. They stole his argument and weaponized it against him. I think it was because they were really trying hard to do everything that they could to make that election not happen. They were trying to make, do everything possible to make it to where Trump

didn't win. Trump won. And I think it, you know, well, now we know, we knew that Obama was involved. And I think he felt comfortable in saying what he did in an interview on that subject because he knew what he was doing behind the scenes. He knew that they were, that they had already met to concoct this, you know, ridiculous accusation of collusion. All the while he was telling everyone publicly that it was stupid and that Trump shouldn't, he should just focus on campaigning, right? I mean,

yeah, the DNC, you all remember that. And they said, well, you know, Russia, and they even admitted that, and this, we have time to play, this is 25. This is Heinz. This is, just so you can hear

the hypocrisy in this one statement from this guy. It's just, it's actually so he says that what Gabber puts out is a lot. Now remember, Gabbard was still a far left Democrat at this time during all that investigation. He was saying that the files are a lie, but, and

then they were also talking about the involvement of Russia in the election stuff. Listen. Now, what Tulsi is doing, it's a little slight of hand, but it's worth focusing on. She is saying that the Intelligence Committee early on said

that the Russians could not use cyber tools to mess with the voting infrastructure, the machines that tally our votes. And that was true then, and it is true now. Though the Russians tried to break into a couple of states, you know, election technical infrastructure, they didn't do it. But it is well known and well established. The Russians hacked into the DNC and undertook any number of other influence operations, including buying reams of Facebook ads to discredit Hillary Clinton. They bought ads. Anybody can buy ads.

They bought ads and and he also noted, yeah, they did hack into the DNC system. Why didn't Democrats want that to be investigated? And then while all this was happening, they were having these secret meetings in the White House to concoct a collusion narrative that they were going to use against Republicans. We got more on this.

Brevard County, traffic stop became a drug bus because a guy decided he was going to try to ditch the authorities, and so he drove into a ditch. Yeah, he did ditch it. He exited the car and then tried to throw away a bag of white powder, which absolutely was cocaine. Yes, you're correct. Hunter Biden was nowhere to be found. They confirmed that it contained almost 30 grams of cocaine, and he had a lot more cocaine in his pockets, too. So he was booked on trafficking charges held without bond the guy.

Yeah, you're not, I'm just trying to understand the thought process of driving one's sedan into a ditch, a pretty, you know, deep ditch and thinking you're going to be able to get out of that. Not going to happen. This guy threatens to shoot a supermarket employee because of pork bellies. What? Broward County. Harlan Zoria of Sunrise, Florida was taken into custody. It was at the Quinn's supermarket. He entered the store.

and then picked up and tried to hide four packets of pork bellies. It was like $40 in the bag and then tried to exit the store without pain. An employee confronted him. He became aggressive, yelled, stop being a rat and mind your business. And then he threatened to shoot the guy in the face. He said that he had a firearm, which I don't think he did. But no firearm was ever visibly seen. And he returned the items to the store shelf, but then continue to chase the employee inside the store.

I mean, talk about really doubling down on stupid. So he was arrested, taking a Broward's jail, and he's being held still on $10,000 bond. He probably could have gotten away, but he decided he was going to be, yeah. So this guy was mad over a ding-dong ditch, and so he decided to run down three kids with his car. The kids ding-dong ditched at his house. He was mad. Collier County Sheriff's. They said that he was arrested, charged with two counts of aggravated assault with intent to commit a felony, 51 years old.

Apparently, the kids rang his doorbell, ran away. and they were riding on scooters, and then all of a sudden this guy, he didn't take kindly to it, came up behind them with headlights, and was chasing him down in the street. A neighbor saw it, called 911. The guy was taken into custody, and he's charged. That's not the way to deal with that, you know. Third hour on the way, stick with us. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you. The former transportation secretary, secretary, new dad, poop booty juice.

Well, he wasn't a very good secretary of transportation. I mean, I really don't know what he knew about transportation other than he was the one-time mayor of South Bend, and he was also the vice admiral, rear vice admiral of the canoe fleet at Camp Wimpy Tonka. And he liked buses, you know, couldn't fill a pothole to save his life, though. And his agency, while he was at Department of Transportation, his agency apparently spent $80 billion. on DEI grant. And apparently it delayed air traffic control upgrades. Huh.

Now, you know he wants to run for president in 2020. He's very much like he's on board with that. But apparently, yeah, he is in a 2028 presidential run. He told executives that air traffic control upgrades would allow them to fly more planes. And so why would that be in his interest? sources said. They handed out over $80 billion over four years. That was half of all of the Department of Transportation's entire budget for a typical fiscal year, according to records. They said, yes, he was definitely pushing an agenda. And he apparently had, quote, little to no interest

and took zero action towards air traffic control modernization. Oh my gosh. The safety system that hasn't been updated since the Carter administration, and he did nothing there. I mean, don't you think, okay, this might be a naive question. But if you're going to be the transportation secretary, shouldn't you at least have some sort of working knowledge about how the hell it works? I don't know how Department of Transportation works.

that they're supposed to handle stuff like that, right? And he didn't do it. Remember, he was also, how long was he gone? He was, like, gone eight weeks. After he purchased some babies, he was gone for eight weeks for maternity leave. The best of the cherry on the top was when they both got into, like, like pajamas and sat in a hospital bed. Like, they pushed the baby out of their birth canals themselves. And he did not take any questions.

He was basically, not basically, he was. according to people within the Department of Transportation, if you remember, while we had the supply chain crisis and all that stuff, he was nowhere to be found. So the booty juice's spokesperson, Chris Meager, of course his name is meager, his meager spokesman said, no, no, no, I mean, there was some like new flight routes and stuff that was added. What are you talking about? They had an air traffic controller shortage, apparently, and they weren't upgrading systems, and he was doing nothing to help with that, according to all of these insiders that are blowing the whistle on him right now. The $80 billion in $80 billion on DEI grants. Isn't the thing with Delta

that happened over the weekend? Wasn't that said to have done? Weren't people complaining about DEI also, you know, where they had a pilot that had to take aggressive maneuver? and all this stuff because they got too close to this other jet. A lot of people have been talking about the air traffic control industry and how they need more actual, like, competent air traffic controllers. So, I mean, apparently he didn't do a whole hell of a lot over at Dot, Kane. He didn't do anything. I mean, what is the point of having the department if you're not doing anything that has to do with transportation?

that does the I have to do with this? You know, if I spent 80 billion, even just 80 billion in that department, which by the way, more was spent, I would have something to show for it. I would say, hey, look at this. Look at this thing I did with 80 billion. What does he have to show for it?

Because there's no improvements in the Department of Transportation as it relates to air traffic control. So what do you do? Yeah, no, like absolutely nothing. The focus of his, it says under Buttigieg, the focus of the department shifted dramatically. They had 400 DEI related grants approved, and that was an audit of federal spending between 2021 and 2024. Grants for diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. They said that programs like Justice 40, which sent about 55 percent,

of about 150 billion in infrastructure investments to, quote, unquote, disadvantaged communities, pursuant to an executive order that Biden signed to, quote, advanced equitable outcomes. So that's the Justice 40. Justice 40 initiative, they say the categories investment are climate change, clean energy, energy efficiency, sustainable and affordable housing, remediation, legacy pollution, what that's that's that's a there that's it there yeah and uh this was biden's 21 1.2 infrastructure law 5 billion uh equity that was by the way that part of that money do you guys remember the um oh my gosh

this is the right the craziest stories the electrical the electric vehicle charging stations do you guys remember that so they only built seven seven like seven by June of 2024. And that was a $5 billion equity effort. They were supposed to build 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations and only seven were built. Now, you might be like, well, what is that? What do you mean equitable? What is the equity effort?

The equitable effort. What does that mean? Okay. So I remember we had this story. Let me just bring it back up because it's been almost a year ago. Let me just bring this back up to you. So they had this program where they were supposed to build like half a million of these charging stations. They only did seven of them.

And the people in dot, or in departments in which they fall under the purview of department of transportation, like the Federal Highway Administration, et cetera, et cetera, they were the ones who started talking to the press about it. And the reason being is because of that equitable thing, that little equitable, equitable. word in there that I had mentioned. They were not a lot. Remember, they had all these requirements if you were going to build a charging station. Like you had to be like minority owned and you had to have X amount of minorities. Like it wasn't enough to be minority owned. Like if you were a black business owner, but you didn't have enough minorities on your staff, then you were not considered. I mean, that's how crazy it was. And you had to have like an interpreter and they did, oh my gosh, what was it,

block parties? Remember all this stuff? And, uh, people were saying you're not going to be able to get anything built with this with these type of requirements you're not going to be able to get anything built and it actually um it i mean it was blamed for holding all of this back there were all of these secret documents that came out daily caller had a big thing on it uh and uh so did the free beacon and they were reporting on how all these internal documents showed how all of these stupid DEI demands made it impossible to, I mean, I'm surprised they got seven built, honestly. It was described as a, quote, mess.

And it said that the DEI requirements were hamstringing Biden's EV agenda. And that was why they were behind the charging station goals. And I'm saying this because this is all part of this, $80 billion, apparently, poop booty juice was just given away to DEI stuff. That's how bad it was. Like they you had to be able, you had to show like neighborhood initiatives. Like if you had held a block party and all that, like what the hell are you doing? You're building an EV state. You're building a damn charging station. Meaningful public involvement. Now it wasn't enough to do it a one-off. It, you had to prove that this would occur throughout the project's life cycle. They never actually meant, they never actually

define what public involvement was, but they just gave, the reason I said block parties is because they gave that as an example. The DO, the Department of Transportation documents. By the way, all this is on the internet. That's the stuff. Yeah, visual preference surveys, games and contests, neighborhood block parties. Those were some of the examples that they gave and that the grant recipient had to provide multilingual staff or interpreters to interact with community members who use language other than English. So it wasn't even that you had to have an interpreter for your employees. You literally had to employ an interpreter to talk to the community. You, the person building the EV charging station. So Kane, if Kane had a company that wanted to, that was bidding for a

contract to build a charging station, they'd be like, okay, well, you're half Hispanic. I guess that's half enough. How many people of color do you have in your sense? staff. How many minorities do you have on your staff? And if he didn't have enough minorities on his staff, he wouldn't be considered. If he did, then he had to further show that he had an interpreter on staff, not even to deal with his own employees, but to just talk with the community. He would have to prove that they were doing all these events and stuff for the community as part of the, quote, meaningful public involvement that was never defined, but was only really only showcased by examples of which block parties were mentioned. You would have to do

all of that, even the sourcing of the materials that you used, you had to make a good faith effort to show that you were getting sourcing for your production from other minority-owned or disadvantaged, minority-owned companies or companies in disadvantaged areas. Wrap your head around that. Wrap your head around that. Why do you think we only had seven of these damn things built? This was under Poot-Bootty Juice. And people in Department of Transportation were like this, like actual other leftists, we're like, this is the stupidest, burp, that we've ever seen. They said, you are hamstringing this.

Hamstringing it. Meanwhile, Department of Transportation is out there going, well, since Biden took office, the public available charging ports is to grow, wildly. It's to grow like over 90%. Not because of you. Not because of you. So they this was just a slush fund. D.E.I. Just a slush fund. All it is is another way to redistribute money. That's all it is.

That's all it is. It's just a way to redistribute money. So going back to this, this was under, this is all that Justice 40 stuff. This is all a part of that 80 billion dollars that Poot Booty Juice was in charge of and that he was spending more towards like, DEI and all of this other stuff, then actually going and pursuing air traffic controllers, upgrading safety systems, doing all of those things. And what was his, and his excuse was, oh, well, you can walk and chew gum at the same time, meaning, well, I can do this and I can do these other things. Remember that? That was, remember we had that whole thing? But you're not doing the other things is what people are pointing out to you. So, I mean, he, he just, I honestly, Honestly, all of this stuff, I think it's very interesting that we had all of these incidents that stem from the perfect storm of his, if you want to call it, leadership over a Department

of Transportation. Good heavens. By the way, we spent $4 billion to refunds for customers because of consumer complaints. Remember he had that whole initiative set up? That was an airline that was paying that. That was taxpayers that were paying that. We were paying that. Unreal.

And now. All of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. This is such a weird headline. So if Gen Z is staring at you, it may be more than just a quirk. It's called the Gen Z stare. It's a blank look, they said, that Gen Zers give to their elders. And it's like another intergenerate.

When they say intergenerational, who are fighting? Because I feel like Gen X, we're just like doing our thing and we don't care. So is it like boomers or millennials? Who's fighting with Gen Z? I feel like everybody's fighting. Yeah. So they said that it's called the Gen Z stare. Like it's a blank deadpan look.

And they just kind of, have you ever seen? I don't know that I've ever seen that. Have you? I don't know, but they said that that's like that. RBF, we already have it. Yeah, but that's RBF. That's like not just a blank kind of like dumbfounded like, kind of stare.

I don't know. Golly, that's the latest though with it. Let's see. A woman commandeers the Queens Inn train for a one-stop joyride, say NYPD. I don't know how you do that. She broke into a whole train, a whole actual train. It was parked, and she took it for a joyride and then disappeared. It is their third train hijacking in a year.

Yeah, so maybe get somebody to watch them trains. This is all I'm saying. You know what I mean? They said it took place at 4.30 in the morning, and it went to one stop. She got off and she. she fled they're trying to figure out how she gained access to it

I'm sure you are maybe figure that out so the coroner says that Annabel doll was not present in the hotel room when that dude kicked the bucket that paranormal investigator

he says that it wasn't I mean maybe I'm surprised you didn't go was it the Vax I'm like waiting for you to say that Ghost Vax Ghost Vax They said it's still an active investigation

but the doll was not in there. That's what the doll wants you to believe. I just want to say. Just, you know, let's see. Oh, gosh. Doctors played a music bingo game during routine eye surgery, but it apparently resulted in a man's death. According to Channel 9 News, the guy never regained consciousness. It was, this was like in 2020, in Colorado. They finally settled it, but apparently they missed critical signs in the patient. Stick with us, more in store.

Brighten up your timely news consumption with the Dana Show. podcast where every update comes with a little dash of not so serious on youtube apple or wherever you get your podcasts welcome back to the program dana lash with you we are at the bottom of this third hour and don't forget the stream you can watch the radio program sounds weird to say channel 347 direct tv can listen around the country uh the chats at rumble also x facebook all that good stuff so um we've been talking a lot about uh uh some of these the documents that prove what we already know as it relates to a lot of the Russian collusion, et cetera. We've got that to head because I'm very interested in our next guest's opinion on it. But then also,

I'm a little nervous about this one headline in particular that I've read as it involves Pakistan, China, and India. So let's go to our friend Stephen Yates. You can find him at Yates' comps on X. Now I don't struggle with saying it. Senior Research Fellow at the Heritage Foundation. And he's also an expert on China. I mean, also to foreign policy in general, he worked into presidential administrations. He joins us now. Before we get into some of the other meat potatoes that I have, Stephen, first off, it's always so good to see you. We're grateful for your time. Thank you. This, I'm curious as to what you think about these documents now from DNI that are being made, that are being declassified. It kind of proves everything that we knew about the Russian

collusion, and I was diving into some of the, you know, the false narratives leading up to the 2016 election, because it seemed like, you know, here you have Democrats trying to create this narrative. I remember when the DNC servers got hacked before the 2016 election, and Trump said something to the effect of, well, is anybody worried that China might try, or Russia might try to affect the outcome of our elections? And Obama told him to shut up in campaign, that they were too decentralized. All the while they were making up this narrative to accuse him of doing what they actually were doing. Well, I mean, really, it's kind of a painful reminder of what we went through

because a lot of us that had just common sense and a little bit of experience, knew that this didn't look right, smell right. You could tell just by the way the processes were unfolding that something was underway that wasn't all it was being sold to be. And especially, I think for me, the threshold moment was the laptop. And that's when you sort of sensed that something untoward was being done. Now you knew it was, and the reach was absolutely comprehensive. The fact that they had all these odd meetings and people like the national security

derisers were sending very weird emails to herself for the record as she headed out of the White House. I mean, all of the flags were there. I don't understand why some of the incoming team didn't see some of the things that they walked into, but not entirely their fault. They never should have had to worry about walking into this. because these other people, I think, violated their oath of office, very likely violated the law and the Constitution in what they did. I agreed. And there's never going to be any accountability, it seems like. There will never be accountability for it, which is why I think people are so focused on this two tiers, you know, system of justice that we seem to have. Now, of course, when it comes to involvement from foreign entities, I wanted to get your thoughts on this upcoming meeting. That's going to be, I think, in October, the APEC summit that's going to be in South. Korea. Is Trump actually going to meet with Xi Jinping?

I strongly suspect the answer to that is yes. President Trump has been pretty clear that he wants to meet in person, that he wants to de-escalate tensions with China. He's got this broader agenda of rebalancing the economic relationship, a whole host of things. And of course, he's already met with Putin. He's tried to have negotiations with the Iranian leadership. And China has kind of been inching towards this. It's pretty traditional that a president would go to the APEC summit, being hosted so close to China in South Korea. It's really a question of do they meet on the margins of that or have a separate trip. I just think that all signs point to President Trump probably visiting before APEC and then we'll see what comes of it. But that's October.

I know. It seems like it's going to be here before we know it, crazily enough. And then, of course, we'll be in full swing for the midterm cycle. This, and I'm wondering, you know, of the things that come up. You know, he had just, and I was pulling this post up, he had signed the Halt Fentanyl Act into law, which permanently classifies fentanyl-related substances as a Schedule I, Under the Controlled Substances Act. I actually have to be, I was actually shocked it wasn't already that, to be perfectly honest. And obviously the story hits, you know, very personal for you, personal for so many people that have been impacted by just this, this fentanyl and everything coming across the southern border. What sort of impact is this going to have?

Well, I just favor them lining up every single thing they can do to designate every input to this angel of death as something that is basically an act of war on American families and communities. And, you know, we've talked numerous times. I also favor it being designated as a weapon of mass destruction. the illicit precursors, not the pills that get pressed. I'm not looking for people to go into the neighborhood and lock up people forever, although I wouldn't shed a tear on that. What I'm really focused on is the people that are bringing mass quantities of the chemicals in to make this deadly stuff.

And so making it listed as that category, I think, will increase some mandatory sentences and maybe increase fines for arrest and think, you know, there's all kinds of little things that would add up. I favor that. But ultimately, we have to put maximum pressure on the supply. And that, I hope, President Trump aims to do if he does sit down with Xi Jinping and say, look, it's been more than half a years that's been in office. You've had the 20% tariffs for this purpose in place.

What do you say? Are you going to make a deal? You're going to do something. If not, something heavy has to happen. That's exactly what I was going to ask next, because I know that that's been, you know, used in this as part of these negotiations, like, look, you need to do something about fentanyl if you want to have, if you want to enjoy, you know, more normalized trade relations with the United States. I mean, of course, you know, I would imagine that Xi Jinping would be, oh, completely amenable to it, you know,

when he's there in person, but when they go back to Beijing is the difference. Absolutely. And really, I, you know, I, of course, speak from a bias on this. But I just think that hundreds of thousands of American fatalities and that number of families and many more relatives also directly affected by this, you can't put a price tag on it. There's no amount of investment or normal trade relations that can compensate for the enormous hole that you have in your life by this happening. And so, you know, whether they want to fix a few of the non-tariff barriers or they want to buy some more ag products, that's not enough. to me. But as I say, I speak from a bias on this. Yeah. Well, and it's not by it's just observable scientific fact, not even a bias. You just are very familiar with the science of it. And, you know, I would, I would hope that, I mean, what would China stand to lose by, I mean, I get it, I get the

asymmetrical warfare. And I completely agree with that. And I think that that's, you know, absolutely, you know, a motivating factor. I mean, but clearly, they would rather enjoy, you know, better trade with the United States than to be able to keep insisting on doing business with the cartels with all these precursors for fentanyl. Easiest thing in the world for Xi Jinping to do is to just tell President Trump, I had no idea. We went and we investigated. We got to the bottom of it. We locked a few people up.

We sent a few people a way to disappear. You're going to see a downturn in this. You have my word. And then make sure that the evidence is seen for a few months that the downturn happened. I mean, what does he really lose by how? having some thugs and money launderers or others disappear, even if it's temporarily. But he hasn't even bothered to do the least, in my view. And that's why I think the U.S. side needs to be very, very tough.

We have broader interests than just this. But this is a big one to me, and it's a litmus test. If you can't get serious on hundreds of thousands of American fatalities, then I have no faith. You'll honor a trade agreement. Yeah, that's a good point. talking with our friend Stephen Yates at Yates comes on X. This is a headline that, well, I don't want to read too much into it, but any headline like this is troubling to me

from Reuters, Trump's renewed interest in Pakistan has India recalibrating China ties. Now, you know, obviously India, Pakistan, they've they've had conflict for some time. I mean, really, ultimately, I think it was, India retaliated to Pakistan, but I don't know why there's this weird interest that the United States has. in Pakistan at the expense of an entity that I think could be a great ally to the United States. But I also know that India and China have their own history. But yet, if they're recalibrating ties with China, to me, this is an alert. This is an alarm.

This is a warning sign to me. How do you analyze this? I mean, he had, Potus had a lunch meeting with Pakistan's military chief, as Reuters reported. And that's when India filed apparently this diplomatic protest. What are your thoughts on this? Do you think it's that? Is this just like basic diplomacy or is this something a little bit more nefarious? I would consider this to be sort of a warning signal, but nothing to hit the panic button with over yet. We have much bigger weighted equities with India. The president has a multiple year and unusually close relationship with the prime minister of India relative to past presidents and past prime ministers there. And so I don't think this is something the president would marginalize or cast aside lightly.

And so I think it's a perfectly right to sort of throw the flag and say what's going on here. And the Indians have a way of saying any kind of interaction on that account is problematic. We might look at China. Well, they've been playing footsie with China and some other areas all along anyway. And they have a relationship with Russia that is a little bit complicated too. But overall, India is an opportunity account. we should double down and make the most of it. But let's see where this Pakistan stuff goes.

There's just so much at stake in the greater Asia. And India has to be a really, really important building place for the alternative to China. But the positives with Japan and a lot of our East Asia allies as balancers. So I think it's good to watch, but I wouldn't take too much just yet on this story. It worries me if there's any. I don't know what the interest in PAC, what would the administration's interest in Pakistan be anyway? Well, there are some engines of some economic growth in Pakistan. So there might be some issues that are related to manufacturing. There could be some things that have to do with minerals or other valuables that are in their territory. They are a nuclear power. and so trying to make sure they're responsible and not causing problems, not just with India, but with others, there could be real equities there.

But for every one of those equities, there's probably two or three positives that we want to keep with India. So that's just where I think the balance ought to be. Goodness. So hopefully that balance. I don't know. Last quick question for you, with APEC coming in this October, what do you think should be the main focus? I mean, I know we've got weeks before it's going to happen, but I also know that they lay the groundwork before these meetings very, very far in advance. What should the administration do to have the most successful outcome going into this?

Well, I hope that before they get to that, they will have at least signed some kind of framework agreements with Japan and maybe the host country, Korea. It would be really awkward to go to an APEC hosted in Korea, and we don't have that done yet. So really, fingers crossed that that's quickly approaching the finish line. And this is supposed to be something that's economics first. It would be good if it was that because, you know, from multiple conversations, I'm deeply skeptical that when you get more than two people in a room at one of these Gs and APEC has several countries together, the diminishing marginal returns are huge. And so I don't really want a lot to be decided at this. It's an opportunity to have bilaterals. But really, I hope it bolsters South Korea, bolsters the positive high-tech manufacturing ecosystem of the responsible APEC members, which wouldn't include China. You go. Stephen Yates, always a pleasure, my friend.

So POTUS is threatening this stadium deal over the Redskins name in Cleveland. he's threatening to uphold to hold up a new stadium deal for Washington's NFL team. If it does not restore the old name of Redskins, this is coming out of ESPN Cleveland. They said that he wants Cleveland's baseball team also to revert to its former name, the Indians, saying there was a big clamoring for it. You realize, and I don't know how many people were aware of this, because it's only the white progressives that are very upset over this, they actually did survey actual Native Americans. and I don't mean like Elizabeth Warrens.

They mean like real actual like American Indians. They must have been really upset then. Yeah. And the poll found that nine out of ten say they are totally not offended by the Redskins name. That's probably, it's my video. They're not offended by the Redskins name at all. They surveyed over 500 American Indians. And this was the Washington Post,

believe it or not. They can, I know, this was done in 2016. Nobody paid attention to the story. It was, it doesn't even have any views. When you look at the story, it's like, no views. It's like Wapow, like buried it. And they said that, yes, nine out of ten, they actually, they're not offended by it. And they actually like the name.

They actually like the name. So the only people who were upset over this were apparently the, you know, the, white progressives. They were the only ones who were apparently mad about this name. So he said he would hold up it. I don't know if that's what POTA should be involved in doing. Holding up a business deal over something.

I mean, I get a little nervous when government gets involved, but we'll talk more about that tomorrow. Today's stupidity came. All right. Apparently Molly Jung fast, whoever the hell that is. Oh, she's an epa baby. She thinks that whenever programming doesn't generate enough revenue than more, at least more revenue than it costs.

Somehow that's a scary thing with Colbert. Listen to this. So you wrote about this and you say Colbert's cancellation, simply not funny. Yes, simply not funny, but also really scary, right? And even if it's not put pro quo, the idea of self-censorship, and I talk about my grandfather Howard Fast, who was, who was jailed. It couldn't make the money it takes to produce it. So if you're not successful at your job and you lose your job, are you canceled because that doesn't make sense?
