Starting point is 00:00:00 Could you speak to any authorities that Congress is removed from you or the President since taking office? Congressman, you mentioned... Congress removed any authorities from you or the President since you've taken office. Congressman, the point that's a yes or no question. Congressman, the point that you make with respect to Border Patrol agencies exactly why... Your filibustering, I asked you a yes or no question. Congressman, the point that you make... Has Congress removed any authorities from you or the President?
Starting point is 00:00:30 since you've taken office. Congressman, the point that you make with respect to border the answer is no. I'd also make the point that you have approximately 20% larger budget than Trump had. The president has made the point that he can't secure the border. He can't get down to because he is waiting on Congress to move. And I just point that out to belay that and to point out the truth of the fact that he has every single authority as President Trump.
Starting point is 00:00:58 He has more resources at his disposal than President Trump, yet he's done everything he can to undermine the security of our border. Have you... So the... Oh, goodness. I almost went deaf. So the whole situation with Mayorkas and his impeachment hearing once again pushed back. And that was just some of the Q&A.
Starting point is 00:01:21 We're going to cover all this stuff. It's just a crap news cycle. I feel like we just should talk about everything, but... Because I'm so tired of everything. everything going on in D.C. I know you guys are tired of it too. Uh, I, is it ever going to happen? Is, are we ever going to have any kind of accountability? Because I feel like no. And I keep, you know, I keep seeing stories about everything else that our tax dollars are going to go for,
Starting point is 00:01:41 except for, you know, accountability and everything else. Welcome to the program, Dana Lash, with you. I wish I could be happier about, uh, starting off the program. But yeah, I'm not going to lie. I'm not, I'm just not going to lie. It is, it's so, it's so frustrating. it's so incredibly frustrating. So the, I mean, because couple this with, just like the stuff that we were talking about yesterday and the story that broke, I'm actually pulling up some of my notes on this because I had a piece on this that ran last night. And then I have a larger piece that I've been working on about just like this trend, this lack of accountability with regards to this administration. And, oh, and he's, you know, at their fundraising. It's incredibly frustrating because the American people feel that without any kind of accountability,
Starting point is 00:02:38 it's like lack of representation, right? I mean, it is taxation without representation in a way. So they've, their, Schumer was arguing that he wanted this tabled. He wanted this impeachment trial tabled. And he was also a little concerned. And this is where Democrats are nervous about this. He's concerned about what it looks like. If you have Democrats who are voting against impeaching Mayorkas with all of the headlines out about him with regard to the border. And that looks bad. So they don't want that optic. Can you imagine? They don't want that optic. They don't want to have to deal with that. And so they're trying to untangle themselves from that.
Starting point is 00:03:28 mess is really what it comes down to. So this, but then at the same time, if you're not executing the law, if you are undermining execution and enforcement of the law, you're not doing your job. And, you know, by that alone, you should be able to be impeached. I mean, this is the Senate's responsibility. It's the Senate's duty. We're going to talk more about this coming up, but this is, this is one of the big things that we're watching today. In addition to this, I am amazed. I'm not amazed. I'm, I'll, let me put it this way, I'm amused by the left and their insistence that it is completely acceptable to use the FBI and the DOJ to go after petty theft cases.
Starting point is 00:04:28 And I say this because there are bigger issues in that whole Ashley Biden story than just the diary by itself. Kane, when has it been customary to bring the full force of the DOJ and FBI involving what you would classify as a petty theft case? I can't remember a time where that's a thing. Yeah, I can't remember when it was a thing either. I can't remember when someone spent a month in jail over a petty theft case, but yet the left is arguing that this is reasonable. Yeah. Didn't we see a bunch of stores being looted?
Starting point is 00:05:11 That was my point, exactly. I was very confused about that. Because today, in Biden's America, you can walk into a retail store, and you can steal hundreds of dollars worth of merchandise, and then you can walk, but you can find an abandoned four months diary in a flop house and the entire federal government descends down upon you and you're arrested and thrown in prison and people's homes are raided. It's totally fine. Doesn't seem right. Yeah, it doesn't seem right. I love the people who are like, well, they prosecute the shoplifters day and all. There's a reason why they release the videos. Yeah. So things that, so you're telling me that your understanding of retail is that things in stores have been abandoned and that the FBI and DOJ raid people's houses for us. Show me all the times that people, the FBI and DOJ have been raiding people's houses of repetitive theft with regard to people walking
Starting point is 00:06:01 into stores and stealing hundreds of dollars of merchandise. We'll sit here and wait, you absolute product of incest. We'll wait. I am floored by the stupidity of people. I tell you what, don't ever ask me to run for elected office. You don't even, I freely admit that you do not understand tyranny until you have me in elected office. I am not interested in anybody else's welfare. I freely admit my corruption. I will absolutely go after my enemies and they will seethe and writhe in front of me and I will use the full force and scope of the federal government to do it. Don't ever have me an elected office. And I wouldn't want to represent anybody who would vote for me. How dare you? How dare you people? But seriously
Starting point is 00:06:46 though, I am watching all these bootlickers out there that think this is totally fine. They think this is fine. This is all like completely acceptable stuff. Yeah, you know, I mean, go ahead and raid people's houses for it. We had James O'Keefe on the show. Remember Project Veritas back when he was still there? They actually were hesitant in running with any of this information because they were a little nervous about the provenance of it. They were the ones who alerted authorities. And then they go after this Amy Harris chick. They go after this chick. So yeah, we're going to talk more about this as well here coming up. I'm just setting the table for you right now. Also, additionally with this, the Biden border, now listen to this. This is from Axios this morning. He's planning,
Starting point is 00:07:37 Biden's planning to order the limit at the southern border crossings by the end of the month. They said it's not final, but they're expecting the word on the streets that there's going to be an executive order by the end of the month. And he's been watching the polls. People are infuriated, rightfully so. They are absolutely infuriated. This is going so horrifically for the administration. So he's considering
Starting point is 00:08:04 executive action on this. But wait a minute, Kane, I thought he couldn't do anything about the border. Wait, I'm confused. Yeah, his hands are tied. He couldn't do anything about the border. So he can do something about the border? And if he can do something about the border now, why isn't he done something about the border like all this time earlier? I'm curious. In his defense, he probably just
Starting point is 00:08:20 forgot that he said it. Yeah, well, Yeah, true. Or maybe it wasn't him. Maybe as, you know, going into your conspiracy theory, it was his body double. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. Probably was. Maybe. But this executive order, like I said, expected April, he's looking at restricting the ability. And this is one of the things floated of restricting the ability of people who are entering illegally to claim asylum. And that provision wouldn't require congressional approval. He wants to use. This is. This is. section 212 F of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which gives the president leeway to block injury of certain people if it's detrimental to U.S. interests. And he's, uh, yeah, it looks like it's coming at the end of the month. But he also said, there's no guarantee he's got the power to take action without legislation from Congress, but he's going to lean in. Can we stop saying that phrase?
Starting point is 00:09:18 When I hear that phrase lean in, you know what I want to do? I'm going to take the tips of my fingers and I want to put them into my palms and I want to tuck my thumb and I want to exert my fist into the throat of the person who says it because I'm so tired of lean in. When did that stupid boardroom jargon become a phrase that's used in everyday life? When, pray tell. When? Anyway. So we're also going to be watching this.
Starting point is 00:09:43 We've, coming up later on the program, we're going to talk to the FCC chairman, Brendan Carr over the plan, the Democrats plan to take over the Webber. I'm sure that's going to go real well for everybody. And then we're also going to talk to Senator Ron Johnson a little later because Schumer's, you know, his blocking of this trial. And then the House kind of reacting to it. Is it botched by Speaker Johnson? We're going to talk to Senator Ron Johnson. He's a very nice guy.
Starting point is 00:10:10 I don't really think he, it's real hard to get him to talk smack about people. I don't know if you're aware of this. I've had him on the program before and I have tried and I'm pretty good at it. And that man is like an iceberg. He's not going to crack and thaw. and he's not going to talk smack about nobody. Well, I mean, Democrat, I excluded. But I'm just curious as to what some of the Republicans in the Senate think about the happenings in the House.
Starting point is 00:10:33 I was told that everything was going to be better. Am I focusing too much on that? Am I being bitter and resentful? Yes, I am. And I have every right to be bitter and resentful because it's tax month. I'm going to be hateful all this month, just so you know that. It's National Thief Month. It's glorified government theft month.
Starting point is 00:10:47 And so it is the month where if any time there should be a purge sanctioned, it should be the month. of April. I feel like when you meet a certain threshold, you should just get to assault several people without any kind of penalty, right? Somebody's blaring Green Day too loud? Slapity slap. You know what I'm saying? I'm just, you know, I feel like these are things, if you're wearing glitter and you're over the age of 20, like on your face and you're not going to a rave, slapity slap. You know what I'm saying? Like certain things, if you're wearing butter fight clips in your hair from the 90s, I feel like I should pull those out, you know. I'm just saying things that we're all thinking. And you thought it too.
Starting point is 00:11:26 All right. So we're going to cover all this stuff. We also have headlines on the way. I got to tell you, getting ready to dance with the federal government. Oh. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. We've all been talking about how we've been poisoned to death basically on break.
Starting point is 00:11:46 And here's why. Do y'all ever eat them luncheables? I know you did. So surprise. They're found to contain relatively high levels. levels. So Kane and I and my kids, because they ate them, I ate the little pizza ones all through
Starting point is 00:12:00 college, man. They were at the bomb.com. But they've got tons of lead and sodium. I knew they had sodium. Yeah, sodium definitely knew that. I mean, we're talking about the sad, slimy little meat discs on the stale cracker with a weird thing of cheese. And the pizzas, the pizzas were weird. It was like dessert sauce with weird
Starting point is 00:12:16 cheese on a weird thing, piece of bread. Consumer report says, yeah, they tested 12 store-bought versions of this, and they're so bad for you. They said that, oh my gosh, they got all kinds of stuff that's going to hurt your skeleton and your respiratory system and stuff that's classified as a human
Starting point is 00:12:32 carcinogen. It's not safe levels of lead for children. You might as well just have them lick paint. It's real bad. Wait, there's safe levels of lead? Yeah, I mean, see, that's the health organization. Some levels of lead are bad. But your natural immunity system, that's horrible. You know,
Starting point is 00:12:48 hydrox, like, sorry, can I say those words? The thing that rhymes with schmivermectin, Because heaven forbid, the YouTube pedophiles get offended and decided to demonetize my video burning an AIDS fire. I mean, you know, heaven forbid. I'm just saying those things, those things are bad. But some lead's okay, King. Come on.
Starting point is 00:13:07 There you go. Saudi Arabia had to scale back that dystopian hellscape project they were building out in the desert. The 106 mile long city called the line, which basically looks like a prison. And they said that they've had to scale it back to just 1.5 miles. and workers are already being laid off at the construction site. They said they wanted it to be completely constructed by the end of the decade. They wanted to increase its full capacity to 9 million people living in this dystopian hellscape that's literally a just single line of a building.
Starting point is 00:13:40 And their idea was to make it to where every little section you can just walk to everything that you need. So you literally never need to leave that block. I've seen horror films like this. Why anybody would want to live there is beyond me. for the people who do, I'm all for it. Move in. Let's all lock the doors and we can go on continue living our lives. I'm serious.
Starting point is 00:14:02 Let's see. Oh, speaking of chemicals and pollution and dystopian health caves cane, the Biden administration has set the first ever limit on forever chemicals and drinking water. Because apparently we're all drinking plastics and we're going to, you know what, it's just going to, everybody's half plasticine anyway. Have you seen
Starting point is 00:14:18 some of these chicks on TV? They have anus lips and their faces don't move and they look like pillow people that your kids carried around from the 80s. Let's just be honest about it. Everybody's plastic anyway. Maybe it's something I should consider. Everybody's plastic.
Starting point is 00:14:32 Kane, you should do it too. Go ahead and get your face all puffed up, all of poop. It's weird. I'm not feeling it. Yeah, well, you know what? We're all going to be plastic anyway. Toxic PFAs or perfibor substances, widespread, long-lasting in the environment. Stop drinking out of plastic water bottles. But all the people in the 90s who push plastic water bottles,
Starting point is 00:14:51 you deserve this. I swear I got a happy No, I don't have a happy one in here. Don't. Let's see. In China, freak winds killed people. Sure, it's the wind that sucked them out of their apartment and murdered them to death. Sure. Sure it is.
Starting point is 00:15:06 Yeah. It couldn't be communism. Freak winds killed three people, but just literally just suck them out of their big giant apartment buildings in China. Speaking of big giant apartment buildings, the line in Saudi Arabia, that desert. Peacocks, they're getting booted from an Orlando. neighborhood because of feces. Just send them to San Francisco. It might be a change of pace from the people that do it out in the sidewalks. We have a lot more for you. Don't go anywhere or we'll find you. Our friends over at Hillsdale, this is an actual educational institution. And I have a really,
Starting point is 00:15:39 really strong, guaranteed feeling that if someone, one of their students went up to one of their professors and told that professor exactly what this person told me, I'm going to go into being a politician, pretty sure they'd probably get the same answer, although way more academically put. But Hillsdale is an actual, like I said, educational institution. It's a small Christian classical liberal arts college in southern Michigan. And they were founded in 1844 to defend liberty and to educate people about their responsibilities as citizens and to really understand freedom. And so one of the things that they've been doing, too, is raising awareness of the way that DEI is ruining everything, including maybe even your future surgery.
Starting point is 00:16:22 DEI diversity standards are being lowered everywhere, in the name of diversity, rather. Medicine, engineering, science, law. They're lowering standards, which itself is racist because they think that minorities can't meet the standard of measure that everyone else is. So it's kind of crazy. They have a deep dive on this in their latest issue of Imprimus, one of the free things that they offer, that you can access when you sign up at Dana4, F-O-R-Hillsdale.com. All kinds of free resources, deep dives.
Starting point is 00:16:48 They're digested imprimis, and you get all kinds of videos, everything there. No cost or obligation either. Hillsdale produces and Males and Primus.

Don't look at that headline number that the politicians are spewing on TV. Although more Americans are employed, they're all working for the government.
Starting point is 00:17:16 Even worse, most of them are part-time employees. Check out the Watchdog on Wall Street podcast on Apple, Spotify, wherever you get your podcast.

Well, I will tell you is I think what he's doing is a mistake. I don't agree with his proposal. I think it's outrageous that those four three vehicles were hit by drones and taken out. on a highway where it wasn't like it was along the shore,
Starting point is 00:17:52 it wasn't like there was a convoy moving here, etc. So what I'm calling for is for the Israelis to just call for a ceasefire, allow for the next six, eight weeks total access to all food and medicine going into the country. I've spoken with everyone from the Saudis to the Jordanians to the Egyptians. they're prepared to move in. They're prepared to move this food in. And I think there's no excuse to not provide for the medical and the food needs of those people.
Starting point is 00:18:32 They should be done now. Oh, step off, you desiccated geyser. Are you kidding me? Welcome to the show. Juan says Kane and I are super mean today. Tana last year with you, bottom of this first hour. I don't feel like I'm mean at all. I mean, you're like a sly mean, you know.
Starting point is 00:18:50 I don't feel like I mean at all. I feel like I'm a bucket of joy. A bucket of joy that can hit you upside your head. That is laughable. That's full of, I'm full of sugar and angels. That's what it is. Dana Lash here with you, bottom of this first hour, you can listen coast to coast. And you can also stream us.
Starting point is 00:19:06 We're all over the internet. That's all I need to know. Also, X, Channel 347, Direct TV. So Biden says, he thinks what Netanyahu's doing is a mistake. what he really wants Nat and Yahoo to do is to move all operations to a difficult to protect airport in the middle of an urban area and then fly planes out with people falling off the sides of them and leave a bunch of people there to die. That's what he's talking about. Or maybe what he's talking about, you know, could be, is just using drones to just randomly murk innocent people, you know, all throughout the country. Maybe that's what Biden's talking about, you know, doing it repeatedly.
Starting point is 00:19:44 several times. Maybe that's what he's talking about. I don't know. You know, could be. Could be one of those things. But this idea that what happened to the last batch of A that went in, you all remember? Because they did this before. They stopped everything without getting any hostages, right? And President Brainfart McDady showers over here, not even mentioning the hostages at all whatsoever. Not even mentioning the Americans because y'all are S-O-L, right? You know, You get caught under an abid, you get kidnapped. You're a hostage during the Biden administration. You might as well be dead.
Starting point is 00:20:20 He's not going to do anything for you. You're going to have to rely on private contractors to come and get you out, right? You're going to have to rely on the goodwill of people like Tim Kennedy to go and volunteer and get you out. Because it ain't happening with the State Department. It ain't happening with Joe Biden unless you're, you know, a WNBA player that nobody watches and you're going to get traded for like a weapons, a gun runner from Russia. Anyway. But the last time they did this. and they stopped everything in Israel once again,
Starting point is 00:20:47 which if I was Israel, I would rent a blimp. I'm sure you can do something like this. Of a one-finger salute, and I would fly it over D.C. as my response. If I were Israel, that's what I would do. If I were Israel, my response would be similar to that of Leonidas
Starting point is 00:21:05 when he kicked that dude in the well. That would have been my response from Zach Snyder's Epic 300. one of the most beautiful things burned a celluloid, by the way. But that's what my response would have been. That's what Israel's response should be. But instead, Netanyahu, and this is where you can criticize the administration of a government without allowing, you know, there are some people who just don't like Jews because they're
Starting point is 00:21:31 anti-Semitic, you know, product of, you know, cousins getting with cousins. You know, it explains it. And they mistake their anti-Semitism, their raging hatred for to Jews. they mistake that for they think it's the same thing as criticizing Netanyahu's administration. It's not. But you can say Netanyahu seems to be slow walking this because he's too busy trying to focus a response with his decrepit United States audience. He's listening to the Biden administration. The only good thing that the Biden administration can do is get people killed and spend a lot of money.
Starting point is 00:22:03 They're epic at that. Like no one, they're the valedictorians of that, the gold medal winners of that Olympics. So instead of, you know, being Leonidas and kicking people into the well, there's been a slow walk. The first time they did this, they stopped everything. This was literally like, what, two months after? I think this is in December, actually, when they first did this, according to what I have. They stopped everything. They were trying to get some kind of hostage exchange going.
Starting point is 00:22:34 And they allowed food trucks to go in. They allowed aid to go in, which is kind of weird. that you're being told that you have to sit here and replenish the supply of your opposition because Hamas is so embedded and the citizens very much support Hamas is a little difficult, right? Like, where's the line? They did this. They allowed everything to go in. Guess what happened to the aid? Do you think that the aid went to the women crying in the streets about them having no food? Do you think that the aid went into the empty bellies of the children there in Gaza? Do you think that the aid, sure as hell didn't go to the hostages? Do you think that it went to anybody? Who do you think it went to in Gaza?
Starting point is 00:23:10 All of the aid, the food, the water, the medical kits. Do you want to know where it went? I'll tell you. When the IDF was going through Gaza City and they were going through the rat tunnels, and it's like verminite, they're going through the tunnels, they're going and finding all this stuff, they found an epic stash of a massive amount of the aid that had been allowed to come through that Hamas had taken and stalked. for themselves. They found medical kits littered throughout the tunnels that were parts of part of the
Starting point is 00:23:46 aid packages that they were told they must supply. They had to provide this resource. It's the first time in history, I think, that I have seen an entity told that in order to retain popular international opinion, you literally had to resupply your enemy. Hamas took it. They stockpiled it. They stockpiled it. They squirled it away and it was discovered all littered throughout the tunnels. It was discovered at all of these sites. Hostages were asked. I have an article saved and I had sent this out previously. This was some weeks ago though. Hostages had been asked too. Someone actually had the foresight to ask one of the hostages released if they had been able to take advantage if they had gotten any of this aid and they said what aid? They didn't see any of this. So you know it didn't make it any of the
Starting point is 00:24:38 hostages. That's what happened the last time they did this. Hamas took the aid because, and I know the shocks people that have zero understanding of how Gaza operates or who runs Gaza or the political system there, et cetera, et cetera. They get all of their information from stupid influencers on Instagram and TikTok who know equally as much, not as much about the area. They think that somehow that went to the people, didn't go to any of the people. This was also about the time. This was, when that story came out, it was weeks after there was aerial footage showing Hamas blocking the road and not allowing some of the people in Gaza who wanted to leave to leave. Remember that? They had, they showed them block, but there was no international outcry over that. Because, you know, Hamas gets to do what Hamas wants to do. Because the people who don't like Jewish people, they're aligned with Hamas who doesn't like Jewish people.
Starting point is 00:25:36 so if Hamas gets a little terrorist-y, you know, so what? They're willing to overlook it, the name of their anti-Semitism. But that's what happened last time. Israel is now being told that they have to actually supply their opposition, that in the war zone that they've created. They have to actually supply that. There was audio, and I remiss, I didn't play it when I had it the other day of Bill Clinton. There was a flashback audio of Bill Clinton, and he was telling everybody,
Starting point is 00:26:05 this was like 10 years ago, he's like, yeah, Hamas is very clever in how they do this. They embed themselves in urban areas. They surround themselves with civilians so that they have some, they can save some outrage and act like it's everyone else who has no regard for innocent life when it's them. Listen to this. This is Bill Clinton just some years ago. Listen. Depends on whether you care what happens to the Palestinians as opposed to the Hamas government and the people with guided missiles. Yes, they were. Yes, they were. No, wait a minute. Yes, they were.
Starting point is 00:26:43 And Hamas is really smart. When they decide to rocket Israel, they insinuate themselves in the hospitals, in the schools, in the highly populous areas, and they are smart. So they try, wait, wait, wait. So they try to put the Israelis in a position of either not defending themselves or killing innocents. They're good at it. They're smart. They've been doing this a long time. time. Look, I don't agree. I killed myself to give the Palestinians a state. I had a deal they turned down that would have given them all of Gaza, wait, wait, all of Gaza between 96 and 97% of the West Bank, compensating land in Israel. I cannot bring myself to say that that person making that observation is the opposite of wrong cane. There are certain lines that I draw.
Starting point is 00:27:45 And especially today. There's certain lines. But that is not incorrect. Damn, he had a Federman moment. That was eight years ago. That was eight years ago, yeah. Guess how long Hamas has been doing this? Hamas had been doing this for quite some time, quite some time.
Starting point is 00:28:04 Eight years ago. So, by the way, yeah. And that was when Hamas broke a ceasefire. again. And guess what? Israel was told again. You've got to provide aid. At some point, if you're Israel, you've got to say, you've got to step off. Let's go and look
Starting point is 00:28:20 at your list of successes in the past 30 years, United States of America. I mean, y'all are too busy being woke. Did you see what their Navy put out the other day? I can't even believe yesterday. Did you see the image of the dude holding the rifle? He had this massive
Starting point is 00:28:36 scope on, this like short-range rifle. It was on back I don't think his rail was set properly. He's all chicken winging it. When you shoulder a rifle like that, you've got to tuck it in and you got to be nice and tight, right? This dude had his elbow out there like, that man could not have walked through a doorframe like that. And I'm just going to say the comments were glorious. And my favorite thing was watching, like, all the combat vets roast this guy. That needed to be a book of combat vets roasting this guy. I mean, someone was like, oh, that's an officer. Oh, man. I was, I had tears in my eyes and I was legitimately
Starting point is 00:29:14 LOLing. But that's what they're doing instead. They're doing instead. They're doing that. Recruitment's down because there's no direction. There's no confidence in leadership. Hell, I wouldn't have confidence in leadership. All of my friends who served are telling their kids don't serve and they're telling everybody else's kids don't serve unless you want to go through a meat grinder of people who don't know what they're doing and they're more concerned about DEI and everything else and making sure that the enemy, your geopolitical foe, feels comfortable instead of, you know, actually defeating them. The social experiment has won out and they've lost their way. It's sad to say, but that's a hallmark of an empire on the downturn. I mean,
Starting point is 00:29:58 Rome didn't really happen in a day. I mean, technically, you know, you could say, but not really. There was a lot of stuff that led up to it. Same thing. But to tell a country like that, to say, yeah, well, you need to provide this. I don't need to provide a damn thing. Why don't you have Iran provide it? Iran's been funding Hamas. They've been funding all this destruction. They've been funding the tear.
Starting point is 00:30:20 Maybe Iran could send over some food kits. Why don't you have Iran send over the medical supplies this time? Why don't you have them do it? I mean, they've been sending over the money and the munitions and everything else. They've been helping them build the tunnels. And when the money's a little tight, Hamas is to dig up everybody's sewer pipes to make explosives and IEDs. you know, maybe Iran could fund some of that.
Starting point is 00:30:41 But for anyone else, the reason that the popularity is waning internationally is because the United States has told Israel that they got to drag this out and it should be over already. Shock and awe. That's the consequence of F-A-F-O. And this has been 20 years of this. And all the people that are pushing to prolong this, all this death is on your hands. Y'all are killing these.
Starting point is 00:31:03 You all are killing the innocence. You all are just as culpable. If you're excusing this and dragging it. out, you're just as much of a terrorist, in my opinion, as Hamas. You really are. There's no gray area. I'm going to talk about gold because, see, we're smart and these people aren't. I'm telling you, we've got to get moving. But this, this is all designed. It's all designed to move you towards owning nothing. All right, as we move, see, you're going to want to get some gold and silver. I'm just telling you.

It's our future. What is he talking about? Does Joe Biden do who I don't even know who he was talking to in
Starting point is 00:33:22 that interview? I don't even know this. I don't know who. Oh, he's Univision. Oh, so he's doing his his, um, his, uh, his, uh, pandered to the last. Yes, his pander bear. He's trying to pander to everybody. Oh, okay. Yeah. I mean, I'm sure that'll work. I mean, don't, don't talk to people about jobs, the economy, because heaven forbid, brown skin people be interested in those things. As you know, like, women can only be obsessed with abortion and brown skin people can only be obsessed with racism. And the other topics are for the white people. That's how Democrats operate. But let's say there's 25% or let's say there's 30% of Latino kids in school. What does that change as to the job the school has to do? I don't understand. I don't get that.
Starting point is 00:34:08 His party is the one that also lowers standards consistently for Hispanic and Latino children in schools. Consistently because they act as though, that they first started this in California, it went disastrously. They were arguing that minority children could not make the grade for advanced math and higher classes like algebra, algebra being taught in seventh and eighth grade. So they actually decided to delay in California. And again, this backfired disastrously. than trying to reverse it. They decided to delay at which point they were going to introduce algebra and other advanced courses to junior high students because they did not feel like bringing minority students up to the same level of performance that every other student could compete at.
Starting point is 00:34:55 It's not that the students couldn't. It's just that Democrats were like, that actually is the work for us to do. And we're way better. You know, we're way better at bitching about identity politics than actually doing anything to solve the perceived injustices that we claim exist. I mean, it's very cyclical. It's hurt and rescue. They cause it. So coming up, we've got a number of things to get into. We got to talk about some of the FCC stuff, Democrats and the Webernets. We're going to get into some of the latest with 2024. GOP and abortion. Democrats are infuriated because Republicans stole their ball like Lucy and Charlie Brown. We're going to talk about that and more. Stick with us. Coming up next, partners that'll bring you free radio. It's our friends over at
Starting point is 00:35:31 Caltech, the sub 2K. Gen 3 is out. It's shipping now. And if you do not have this 9mm carbine. It's one of the newest things. Somewhat new. It came out around the first of the year from Keltek. And it is, like I said, 9mm carbine, awesome. Simple twist and fold. You can literally fold it right in half. And you don't have to detach your optics to fold it in half either.
Starting point is 00:35:53 It's a very simple twist and fold motion. You have that rotating 4-in patent pending. In either direction, twist in either direction, it folds it right in half. And it just as quickly and easily deploys it with optics and all, which is nice. They've done a lot of upgrades on this, they've got the upgraded aluminum trigger. So you have a more precise feedback, improved accuracy, upgraded action, lightened action for easy racking, ambidextrous bolt hold open as well, all providing improved manipulation. You got a new chamber indicator too. And it's made in America right here,
Starting point is 00:36:24 actually in Florida, Caltech family owned and operated. And they've been doing this for a long time, very innovative. And they stand behind everything that they do to learn more about the sub 2K Gen 3, Caltechweapons.com. That's K-E-L-T-E-C-Weapons.com. Tell them that Dana sent you. From the very beginning, I used to teach the Second Amendment in law school. From the very beginning there were limitations. You couldn't own a cannon. You couldn't own a rifle, a gun, but there were certain things you couldn't. But they weren't weapons of war. Okay, you can own a cannon, you absolute clown-turt. You can own a cannon. And weapons of war or what won this country's independence.
Starting point is 00:37:06 Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you. Biden says it again. He says you can't, I've written about this. I don't know how many times. I do not know how many times. He has claimed, even the Washington Post has said, this is bad.
Starting point is 00:37:20 You can't say that. He repeats this false claim. He did this in 2021. Washington Post gave him four Pinocchio's for it. He did in 2022. PolitiFact even said, that's not true. I mean, you absolutely can own a cannon.
Starting point is 00:37:38 That's a lot. And you can own a tank as well. I don't know if people are aware of that. You can also own a tank. So the limitations that he's talking about had to do with things that weren't commonly owned. And that's a phrase that Antonin Scalia had even touched on before, before I get too further. Again, welcome back, Dana Lash with you. Top of our second hour, listen coast to coast and channel 347 on direct TV.
Starting point is 00:38:01 in the decision with Heller, and I've written about this as well, I've got several books on it. Scalia had noted that at the time, and these are, which we all agree, Biden did not teach on the Second Amendment. Biden has no idea what he's talking about. The only restriction was during in the era of the colonies, one of the things that the colonies all agreed on is the idea of something that was an uncommon weapon. And the example that Scalia gave, in his opinion on Heller, is if it's something like a headax, right? If it was something that looked like, you know, like Negan's bat from Walking Dead, like his bat with barbed wire all over it. That's kind of an uncommon weapon, right? And if we're walking around with something uncommon and if it also had to include the caveat was if you're walking around with something that's uncommon, an uncommon weapon, and you're doing so menacingly, meaning that you are brandishing it with intent to intimidation.
Starting point is 00:39:01 or threaten, that's where, that's the restriction that came into play. And that's what Scalia verbatim was talking about in his opinion on Heller that I've covered again over at my newsletter on my website and books, on television, et cetera. So the restriction that Joe Biden is talking there is that's, he has no idea what he has no idea he's talking about. You can own cannons. You can own tanks. You can, in fact, the cannons have always been in private ownership. In fact, when Washington was getting the army together. One of the first things that they did was they were going around to farmers and other people who had previously served in military battles, military campaigns that maybe had kept some of the cannons, etc., had owned them privately to enlist them into helping
Starting point is 00:39:50 the Continental Army. And so this idea that they were never in private ownership actually is a rewrite of American history because this country began with them all being in private ownership. I mean, firearms began all in private ownership. We could not afford to supply every infantryman with a rifle. In fact, you were expected to bring your own, which gets into some of the wording of the Second Amendment. Whenever you hear the phrase well-regulated militia, you have so many uneducated people out there.
Starting point is 00:40:23 And it's actually terrifying how dumb these people are. they are not well read. They're not very intellectual. They don't really have any real academic pursuits. And they have no grasp of American history, nor do they have any understanding of the parlance of the time. When they're talking about well-regulated militia, they're talking about people. And as George Mason noted, it is the whole of the people, every man and woman, say for a few politicians was his direct quote and discussing it. But when they were talking about the well-regulated militia, they were talking about someone who could actually clean. and use his firearm proficiently. That's what they were talking about. And that's what the language meant at the time. But people today who speak with emojis don't really understand that. And this is why education is so incredibly important. And so Joe Biden's attempt to rewrite history on this is shameful.
Starting point is 00:41:15 It's shameful. And I just, I think he's one of the dumbest. I don't think he's a smart man. I really don't. You know how you meet people and maybe they don't have, you know, I've met some people that have all of these Ivy League degree. and I think they're some of the dumbest people that's ever, that's ever existed. Because you cannot buy actual intelligence.
Starting point is 00:41:34 You cannot buy street smart. You can't buy actual intelligence. You cannot purchase intellectual curiosity. You cannot make a lazy person be an auto diadict, meaning someone who constantly wants to learn and is motivated by their own, just motivated from within to do so without having to be compelled by any kind of outside, influence. And so that's, I, Joe Biden is, he's a dumb man. He's just dumb. When people said that George Bush was dumb, I actually disagreed with him because George Bush was actually very, you can dislike
Starting point is 00:42:09 his policies. I know this is not, I'm not relitigating that. I would rather literally cut my own arms off and squirt you with the blood from the arteries than actually sit here and diverge from this discussion and argue that. He was not a dumb guy, right? He was a smart individual. He, I think, allowed that narrative of him being dumb to give him cover. Like, he wanted to give himself some cover. It gave him some plausible deniability with certain things. And he used it to his advantage against his political opponents. And you don't have to like him to think that Reagan was an incredibly smart guy as well, didn't have Ivy League degrees, et cetera.
Starting point is 00:42:48 Joe Biden is stupid. Like, even Bill Clinton is an intelligent person. Joe Biden is dumb as a box of rocks. He's a male bimbo. He is a male bimbo. He and his wife are not smart people. He is not a smart person. He has no concept of the things that he talks about.
Starting point is 00:43:10 He does not understand foreign policy. At least Jimmy Carter understood a little bit the foreign policy when he was talking about a specific area. Or if he was getting a domestic issue wrong. At least he was, he was, lying to you. He was being malicious and misrepresenting it. Biden's not even doing that. He's not even smart enough to misrepresent it. He's just stupid. And that's the thing like you can't think that everybody on the left is just dumb. Some of them actually are very intelligent. And they will
Starting point is 00:43:40 maliciously misrepresent things to you. And they will do like what Bush did. They will allow you to think that they're dumb so that you don't actually see what they're doing. That's smart. But Joe Biden is just dumb. He is not a smart man. His kids are dumb. His wife's not bright. He's got dumb people in his administration for crying out loud. His spokesperson can't even say emeritus. Can't even say. What did she say the other? Didn't she say expletive incorrectly too? Literally just the other day. I mean, tyranny. Didn't she say expletive or something like that? And I think I died. I, yeah, tyranny. What else did she say? The Nord Stream pipeline instead of, or the Nordstrom pipeline, I can't even say it incorrectly.
Starting point is 00:44:25 The Nordstrom pipeline instead of the Nord Stream pipeline. And she mispronounced like Democrat politicians' names like from Hawaii and other people. It's just horrible. And then Jill Biden can't even say anything. She can't pronounce anything correctly either. And Joe Biden can't even talk. So he's just not, he's not a smart dude. But the idea that, oh, well, these people didn't, you know, they didn't own cannons.
Starting point is 00:44:48 This was, you know, they shut up. That's not true. Have you seen, he's been meeting with the Japanese prime minister. I don't know if you guys have seen some of this. So he has been meeting, he met with the Japanese prime minister, Fumio Kashita. They had a state visit at the White House today. And they were walking around on the grounds. I watched some of this video before I saw this New York Post piece.
Starting point is 00:45:13 And I thought, the same thing that the New York Post piece thought, I thought, this is so embarrassing. Like he's shuffling around in the grass, right? And he was greeted with a soul. by military aid. And then he like turned. He was going to salute. And it's like he forgot what he was doing while he was doing it. And he just had a blank look. He put his sunglasses on to hide the fact that he walks around just like a complete blank slate. It just looks so bad. He is just in constant confusion. Like he puts us he he he that he's saluted by military aid and he kind of does one of those puts his arm up. And then he has really no idea what he's doing. The prime minister. of Japan knows exactly what to do. The military aid literally has to use his hands and guide Biden absolutely everywhere. And he even is using his body to kind of lean in and direct him where to go. Biden looks so awkward and not healthy.
Starting point is 00:46:13 He looks like a guy, it from men in black, an alien in a human suit. That's what he looks like. It is so bad, Kane. Maybe on to something. It's so bad. Juan's showing on the simulcast now. And you see the guy gesture. You see how far that aide puts his hand in front of Biden? Like he knows that he's dealing with a guy who is not, all his rockets aren't firing.
Starting point is 00:46:44 The prime minister of Japan knows where to go. He's looking around everything. Biden has no clue what the hell he's doing. It is so awkward, right? Yeah, the gate of his walk is really concerning because look at the gate of the prime minister's walk it seems to be just normal and fine. Biden's like marching. He's marching like you just got balance and you're trying, you don't really know what to do.
Starting point is 00:47:05 Right. Like he's avoiding stepping on his corns or something. It's like watching a woman who can't walk in high heels, try to walk on high heels for the first time. Right? Have you ever seen that? Like I see women in heels and I'm like, oh my gosh, you got to learn how to walk in them. Like baby deer. Yeah, he's walking like a woman who does not know how to walk in heels.
Starting point is 00:47:22 He's like clomping, like marching. He's lifting his knee up. like high it's weird it's so weird so the uh they they i don't know he's let around the white house lawn they had this event biden thanked him for the i guess japan gave us 300 cherry trees and sorry 3,000 cherry trees over a century ago and he's like look at you know they were talking about the cherry blossoms steve aren't or cherry blossoms are they still going is that past peak uh the peak bloom's all done they're pretty much just like closer to green now just like regular trees it's back it's like chilly out okay
Starting point is 00:47:56 so they had uh because that was a gift from japan some years ago and so they had their meeting and and there's another photo of them okay so here's another photo it was a getty image where they're waving at everybody and jill's waving and kashito's waving and his wife's waving and biden's just holding his fist up it's weird he's holding his fist up and he's like making this weird like grimace he just does not and the reason i say all this is because Because this is a guy, we've all had somebody in our family who had a health issue. Everybody. And you've seen people who've had strokes before. This guy, you cannot tell me this guy has not had a stroke. He just looks so unhealthy. He looks so unhealthy. So that's what they're doing today.
Starting point is 00:48:42 Meanwhile, in the Republican side of things, Democrats are desperately trying to go. They're using, they're looking at Arizona's law. And we're going to talk about this more later on in the program. So Arizona had passed a law against, on abortion restrictions, rather. And there are exceptions, but there's few of them. But it's like a case of the mother's life, you know, incest, blah, blah, blah. And Democrats are trying to say, oh, well, there it is. They feel like they have their argument against a state-by-state basis as it pertains to abortion. And now you've got some of these Republicans that are coming out. and they are they're like slamming it they're they're going after like carry lake disavowed the
Starting point is 00:49:27 Arizona ruling and I know Carrie Lake I've had her on the show before she seems nice but you need to realize this is not mean to say this it's accurate she literally was a Democrat until a heartbeat ago you guys know this right like she literally was a Democrat until like November of 2016 actually I don't even think she was in 2016 so I My whole point in this is the right has been so eager to turn people who have not spent enough time in conservative causes and conservative issues on the ground pushing conservative advocacy. They've been so eager to try to win favor and popularity and try to borrow the optic of being cool that they've rushed to to make these people who haven't had time to germinate and mature in this ideology, rush to make them generals. Now you have a whole bunch of people that are dragging the party to the left on life. And now, all of the news you would probably miss.
Starting point is 00:50:27 It's time for Dana's Quick Five. This is kind of sad. A United Airlines flight was forced to divert because a dog in first class had a little accident. And despite cleaning, the smell would not go away for two hours. And so they actually had to land a thousand miles away from the intended destination. It was on a flight from Houston. to Seattle on Friday. And it was diverted to
Starting point is 00:50:54 Dallas. They said it was the it was a mess and that was the reason for the diversion. It's sad. It's in first class. Let's see this. Oh gosh. I don't know if you saw this. I don't watch Howard Stern because he's like progressive boomer, like bad boomer
Starting point is 00:51:11 stuff. And some chick, I don't even know who this woman's name is, Elisa, Jordan, Jordina, whatever her name is. She was on video attacking her boyfriend in a car on a live stream, and he ended up grabbing her hair. I don't feel bad that he responded physically because I think if you're a woman and you think that you're going to do this to a dude, I realize that men are taught be chivalrous, but at some point, ladies, you're going to get your ass smacked if you decide to get physical and stop hiding behind
Starting point is 00:51:38 the fact that you're a woman and you think that that gives you a green card to sit here and treat people physically, however you think that you feel like trading them. But that was all on all on camera and she came out and she apologized. She's like, I want to say I'm sorry, blah, blah, blah. She just looks like a psycho. I don't know. And I'm not surprised that she used to be on his show. A man was chased out of the woods by a naked woman with an axe. And she was arrested. This is in Louisiana. The Sliddle Police Department said that the woman identified as Angela Wagner was arrested. She's accused of chasing a man through the woods with an axe all while naked. She was fully clothed at a truck stop, though when they found her and arrested her for two

They probably were. 8.2 million packets of Tide Gain A scenario detergent pods are recalled over faulty packaging.

Dana Lash with you, bottom of the second hour. You can listen coast to coast. You can stream the radio program. You can watch us on X, Channel 347, Direct TV as well. Every time I look at this man's Twitter timeline, it reads like a dystopian horror novel
Starting point is 00:54:36 of everything that is coming down the lane towards crushing. internet restrictions, free speech restrictions. And he noted that literally just the other day, the Biden administration was in the Supreme Court actually arguing for social media companies to be able to continue censoring free speech, while they're also simultaneously pushing to expand their control of the internet through what they call net neutrality. And this is what Brendan Carr is warning about. He's commissioner on the Federal Communications Commission, previously General Counsel of the FCC. He joins us now via Skype.
Starting point is 00:55:24 Sir, always good to have you. I mean, I'm not joking. Every time I take a deep breath and I go and check your timeline because it's always something that they're trying to do. This is like, you know, it's the Wild West, but with restrictions. But there's always something from this administration to further restrict speech. So if they're not trying to pressure social media companies to continue. to continue censorship or what they call, you know, for the public good. Now we have this second attempt at expansion with net neutrality.
Starting point is 00:55:52 Explain this because a lot of people aren't following what this threat really is. Yeah, thanks so much. Good to be with you, Dana. One day I hope to come on with some good news, but you're right. Up to now, you know, shining the truth out there. There's a lot of bad things that are going on. And the reality is this. You know, when it comes to control, the government thinks that it just never has enough of it.
Starting point is 00:56:13 And the FC is going to vote just this month, April 25, to restore these Obama era net neutrality rules. Of course, net neutrality sounds good, but it's simply Orwellian. Yeah, it's simply Orwellian branding. It's about subjecting the internet to what we call Title II regulation, which means it gives the government expansive new authorities over the internet. This isn't an isolated pinprick. We've seen this, as you noted, with these digital equity rules for the internet that we voted. into place at the FCC just last year. We see it with these speech restrictions that are going on.
Starting point is 00:56:47 You know, all of these go together. They're part of the Biden administration's plan to continue to exercise more and more control over the Internet. This is, in the net neutrality, this was a hot topic of debate, what, 10 years ago? And like you say, whenever Washington, D.C. titles something, it's usually the opposite of what it means. So if it's, you know, about, you know, the Inflation Act, it's not about inflation. If it's about neutrality, it's really not about neutrality. It's government restriction and very, as you said, Orwellian named. Included in this, and I'm pulling this up because I thought this was a joke.
Starting point is 00:57:24 I actually thought this was from Babylon B, and then I saw it on your timeline that it was true. Broadcasters, for example, they would have to start posting race and gender scorecards, breaking down the demographics of their workforce. This is all the stuff that's like going into everything where you have the digital equity, then you have the net neutrality. I don't know what that has to do with broadcasting. And if they're already abusing the authority that they have now, I don't even want to imagine what they would do
Starting point is 00:57:49 if they got net neutrality passed on the 25th. Yeah, you're right. These are all individual decisions. So net neutrality is its own thing. You're right. We had this race and gender scorecard thing that we separately imposed on broadcasts. But you're right.
Starting point is 00:58:01 You know, this was 2017 when the Trump FCC voted to repeal the FCC's two-year experiment with net neutrality. If you remember, it was President Obama that directed the FCC to first do this in 2015. And back in 2017, you remember the apocalyptic headlines. CNN ran a bolded banner headline saying, end of the internet as we know it. The Senate Democrats said if this net neutrality repeal goes through,
Starting point is 00:58:24 you'll get the internet one word at a time. And this misleading of the American public about why we need to do this is so concerning. Even today, the FCC doesn't level with the American public. They put out these documents that say we need net neutrality for national security. But the reality is the government already has all the authority they need to deal with any national security threat. Or they say, we need this for consumer privacy. But the truth is the Federal Trade Commission today regulates consumer privacy with respect to broadband providers. Or they say this is great for free expression.
Starting point is 00:58:59 As you noted, it's a little ironic given that, again, the Biden administration is literally in the Supreme Court, defending their right to jawbone and pressure social media companies into censoring, tell the American people that we need net neutrality for free expression. Once you sort of strip through the veneer of all these protectual claims, you're left with just one thing. It's control. It's about more and more control of Americans' lives. Talking with Brendan Carr of the FCC, you noted, too, the 435 page plan of this that they immediately getting into page two, they start saying, well, there's no oversight already of, you know, broadband today. There's no federal rule oversight. So that's why we really need this, you know, because it's going to protect free speech.
Starting point is 00:59:38 That's not true. I mean, you have oversight authority already. Yeah, look, the 430-plus-page plan from President Vine doesn't go to paragraphs without telling people something that is completely false. They say, well, you need a cop on the beat. This is totally the Wild West right now. That's not true at all. The Federal Trade Commission has expansive powers over profit. The FCC itself, as we noted just last year in the Digital Equity Plan, put forth new controls that let them micromanage every single facet of the Internet.
Starting point is 01:00:08 So when you can't go two paragraphs without directly misleading the American people about what this plane would do and what the status quo is, it's deeply concerning from the get-go. How is this going to affect how people use the Internet? So for those who maybe don't make their living digitally, you know, they consume their news digitally or they, you know, share things on Instagram or maybe they have fun with which they shouldn't have TikTok, but maybe they do. How does this affect, you know, the people who don't, I mean, we see this. And for those of us in broadcasting who work in digital, I mean, obviously it affects us. But how do you make that case to the people who aren't that deep into it? Yeah, look, you know, the best test case example is to look to Europe. Europe has long had this type of heavy-handed regulatory structure.
Starting point is 01:00:53 And look what happened to them during COVID-19. The U.S. networks were 83% faster than those in Europe because the light regulatory touch, not no regulation, but light regulation, incentivized massive levels of investment. So what we saw with the Obama era approach that did the same thing was a decrease in investment in networks, a reduction in efforts to bridge the digital divide. So I don't think there'll be any immediate sort of negative impact per se, but the long-term trend line about the incentives to invest and make our networks robust certainly starts to head the wrong way. The good news, though, is this is going to be reversed on appeal. The Supreme Court has been very clear about this doctrine called major questions doctrine, which is that agencies like us at the FCC shouldn't just get to invent. new authorities that Congress didn't delegate. And so this is ultimately a Pyrick victory at the agency.
Starting point is 01:01:42 It'll pass three to partisan vote this month. But I'm very confident that the court will, in relatively short order, overturn it at the end of the day. I mean, because ultimately neutrality, you know, I mean, it's government trying to put a tan on the scale of something. It's the government getting involved in meddling, whether it's in the infrastructure, the investment, the performance, et cetera, of all of these things. And it's like that, as you just mentioned, you you can't have any kind of government agency do Congress's job and through these edicts make these laws that have such an effect on commerce and usage. And what's funny is if you actually put like basic neutrality rules in place on the table,
Starting point is 01:02:23 I think bipartisan people would vote for it. But the thing is it's not. The progressive left has rejected every effort to try to put basic neutrality rules in place because they want all these sweeping controls that have nothing to do. do with neutrality. So they say they want neutrality, what they really want is what we call these Title II provisions that let you regulate everything from market entry to market exit to rate regulation. It's a whole suite of controls that they're really after. It's government control of, for the lack of a better way to put it, internet business. More government control. Yeah,
Starting point is 01:02:53 exactly. Well, we appreciate you raising awareness of this and we're going to watch and see, I'm so glad that you say that it's going to be defeated upon appeal. That makes me feel better because I'm like, golly, now there's something else to worry about. But I'm so, I'm so glad for that and you're right one day you're going to come on and you're going to be like dana all this bad stuff has been reversed i don't have anything bad to share with you i you know it's all good you know maybe next time and then that's it that we'll have that we'll have that maybe after november that'll come i look forward to that day there you go brend car with the fccc always a pleasure thank you good to see you thanks much and he's right i mean it is it is uh it's the government
Starting point is 01:03:27 putting its finger on the scale of operations and a lot of people i really think that because it can get into the weeds but ultimately and there's so many other issues that they're dealing with, whether it's like the digital equity, which is separate from the net neutrality issue. But the net neutrality, just so you know, at its most basic explanation, whenever the government names give something a name, it's always the opposite. It's, it's, you don't like the government getting involved in telling businesses how to operate and telling business owners what to do and how they should allow people to access product and what they should decide to charge for themselves. You don't allow government to set those types of controls.
Starting point is 01:04:07 So why would you change your perspective on that just because it's a digital product or it's a digital service or the marketplace is digital or the access is digital? I mean, it's the exact same formula. It is just a different variable. And make no mistake, if they think that they can convince you that somehow the digital aspect of it changes the game, they'll be able to convince you that that sets a precedent for the government to be able to do this to every single industry, every single type of access, a commerce, everything. That's the whole goal of it. And it's just trying to distill that down because we get it. People are busy. And not everybody gets into all this stuff, especially as it relates to, you know, the internet, because, you know, you're all doing, you're all keeping roofs over
Starting point is 01:04:50 your head and everything else. But it's super important. You do need to be aware of it. We've got Florida man on the way. And coming up in, pull this up in our third hour, Senator Ron Johnson's going join us. We're also going to get into this situation with the Republicans and abortion and the Arizona case that just came down yesterday. Democrats are desperately trying to make this the feature of their 2024 messaging. And some Republicans are not helping. There's there's times you got to stand firm on stuff and not be scared away from your mission because you're worried about the optics or the narrative that Democrats are trying to play. And I see some. Weak Republicans doing this right now.
Starting point is 01:05:32 We're going to talk about that. This is the only coffee I drink.

It's time for. Florida man. So a Florida man allegedly took out his frustrations on a deputies parked patrol car. And it happened on camera. In Volusia County, Florida, he found himself behind bars. He was caught on
Starting point is 01:07:17 camera, taking out his frustrations on this patrol car parked in Pearson, according to deputies. 58-year-old Eric Johnson was arrested, charged with felony criminal mischief and attempted burglary of a vehicle, according to the sheriff's office. His mugshot says, I don't care what? that's literally his expression. Another photo showed a minor dent on the side of the car. He did dent it. That was the length of, or that was the extent of the damage, but he does have a long rap sheet.
Starting point is 01:07:43 Over 90 charges related to battery robbery, aggravated assault, and more. Does his mugshot not say, I don't care? I'm telling you what. Exactly. Wow. This mugshot, I don't know what to make of. A drunk Florida man believed. that he had a right to sit naked in a trash can in public.
Starting point is 01:08:07 It is America. But, you know, don't get crazy. A 35 year. He's 35. He's 35. Are you kidding me? Dude, there is no way this guy's 35. He looks so old.
Starting point is 01:08:27 He looks like one of the almond brothers' cousins. Old cousins. Old cousins. Like, yeah. It's like meathead, one of the almond brothers' cousins had a baby. His name is Wiley James Weeks. W-Y-L-Y. I need to focus on this for a minute. His name is literally Wiley Weeks.
Starting point is 01:08:47 That says something. Wiley James Weeks. If I had that name, you would have to call me all three names every time you addressed me. He was found very late Saturday evening. He refused to identify himself. But they said, according to Pinellas County, that he was, quote, drunk and disordered. and he was sitting naked in a trash can on a public sidewalk, which you're not supposed to do. They said that he wasn't very cooperative, as you know.
Starting point is 01:09:14 He was observed sitting there. He wouldn't let people use the trash can. He was drunk. He smelled of alcohol. He could not stand on his feet and he slurred his words. This is not the first time that he had a similar encounter like this with law enforcement. He also got drunk and walked around naked in Gulfport, according to the South Sun Sentinel there. So that's and on that bender, he also got accused of vandalism.
Starting point is 01:09:37 So there's some, yeah, so he's done this before. A, no, I want to do this one. This, this guy had a row, godly, a Florida man with a sword. A Florida man conducts a ritual with a sword while holding a woman captive. John Peter Stevens from Clearwater. He's 42. What is up with these people looking way older than their age? How is this guy 42 years old?
Starting point is 01:10:02 It's not the Vax, though. It's not the vaccine. He looks like he's old enough to be our dad. Why does he look so? He's 42. Anyway, he got angry at this woman because she got a text message and he took his, I guess he was angry about the text message. He took his phone and threw it on the ground and then he hit her with his fists.
Starting point is 01:10:20 She was forced in the bathroom. And then he decided to get a sword from the living room because that's normal. And he just charged at her while holding the swords tip towards her. She fell onto the floor. He said he was going to cut her in half. or cut her head off if he didn't if she didn't get back in the room and also get away from him so very confusing orders uh so anyway she's uh was she was able to contact police and he was charged with oh boy there's a long lot of stuff he's charged with a lot of stuff he's in trouble so
Starting point is 01:10:51 let's just put it that i'm not going to read every single one of these charges because there were a lot there but they all make sense yeah they all make sense i mean you know you read him and you're like Okay. This is insane. A Florida man slashes his ex-wife's tires, led police on a chase, and then drove his car off a cliff. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. And this was in the, this, he's from the villages, but it happened in Long Island.
Starting point is 01:11:14 So. Roger Foster, 56 of the villages, was arrested and charged with second degree criminal contempt, third degree criminal mischief. Oh my gosh. Like seven other things. He was arrested in New York's Long Island after cops said he led them on a chase and then drove legit off a cliff into a town. Just yeated himself Thelma and Louise style off a cliff into the town of Greenport. They did take him into custody and they said that they had everybody working to try to get this guy. Yeah, he literally ignored an end of road barrier and drove the car off a cliff and landed in the Long Island Sound in Greenport.
Starting point is 01:11:57 drove through the guardrail, ended up off the cliff, bounced off the beach and into the sound. And he didn't die to death? He was, quote, uninjured for the most part. No, he did not die to death. That's crazy. I, wow, they said that they were prepared to take action, but it didn't happen that way. No, because he did it for him. Good night.
Starting point is 01:12:18 That's insane. All right, we have another hour on the way. Senator Ron Johnson is going to join us as well. Don't miss. Stick with us. Last month, you've been. predicted the Federal Reserve would cut interest rates thanks to falling inflation. But today, data showed that inflation rose more than expected for the third straight month.
Starting point is 01:12:37 So how concerned are you about the fight against inflation stalling? And do you stand by your prediction for a rate cut? Well, I do stand by my prediction that before the year is out to be a rate cut. This may delay it a month or so. I'm not sure of that. We don't know what the Fed is going to do for certain. But look, we have dramatically reduced inflation. from 9% down close to 3%. We're in a situation where we're a better situation than we were
Starting point is 01:13:04 when we took office, where inflation was skyrocketing. And we have a plan to deal with it, whereas the opposition, my opposition talks about two things. They just want to cut taxes for the wealthy and raise taxes on other people. And so I think they have no plan. Our plan is one, I think, is still sustainable. So not only, first off, that's Joe Biden, who's there. I liked the birds better. He's there with the Japanese prime minister and he took a question on inflation. Welcome back, Dana Lash, top of this third hour. First off, he's wrong when he goes tax cuts for the wealthy. That's such garbage. I'm so tired of that communist talking point and that's what it is. It's communist. The top 1% according to the tax foundation, the top 1% pay 46% of all federal
Starting point is 01:13:48 income tax. They also pay the highest income tax rate at nearly 30%. That's 30% of your income. The bottom half of taxpayers, anybody who makes essentially under 46,600, they faced an average income tax rate of 3.3%. That is absolute garbage the talking points on this. Further, inflation is not going away. Inflation still exists and it's getting, it's increasing. They had the CPI numbers out. today. I'm going to pull this up. This is from CNN. Here's the headline. Stubbornly high U.S. inflation grew stronger than expected in March. Surging gas prices, sky high mortgages, and rent, all sent inflation rising more than expected in March. Consumer prices in the CPI's Consumer Price Index
Starting point is 01:14:46 picked up again last month, vaulting to a three and a half percent increase for the 12 months ended in March, and that's according to the last CPI data that was released on Wednesday. So this is, it's not going away. It's not going away. And CNN, look, see it, this is CNN, you know, the very super conservative network. In fact, C stands for conservative news network, right? That's CNN, right? Listen to this.
Starting point is 01:15:09 I understand by 22. This just in. Inflation is headed in the wrong direction right now. The latest consumer price report just out shows prices up 3.5% this over same time last year. CNN's for Hal Solomon, just looking through it all, just. running into the studio to help us out. What are you saying in this? Hey, Kate.
Starting point is 01:15:27 So, yeah, you put it pretty well there. This is moving in the wrong direction. So a 3.5% on an annual basis. To put that in context, that is hotter than what we were expecting and certainly hotter than we saw the month prior. If you look at a CPI on a monthly basis, sort of a similar trend there, right? So coming in at 0.4% on a monthly basis, that is also hotter than we were expecting. And it's, that's not what Biden said, though, Kane.
Starting point is 01:15:53 He said that Yeah, there's no It's gone away We don't have to worry about it anymore It's almost like you just lied Just Straight up lied These people have no idea what y'all face
Starting point is 01:16:05 They don't know how expensive stuff is When you see it They don't know They don't know how much Our grocery bills have gone up They don't do their own shopping They got people that shop for them They stock their pantry
Starting point is 01:16:15 They don't even know They can afford to not know What is that like? I mean I can't even afford to not know What is that like? I can't believe how much milk has gone up. Milk. Crazy.
Starting point is 01:16:28 Crazy. So, yeah, this is, uh, yeah, bad. None of it's bad. And also, it is the Dow was down 500 today. That's also, it's in that same CNN story that I had just cited. And, yeah, none of that looks good. So I don't think that we're going to get. get an interest rate cut.
Starting point is 01:16:57 That's gone. We just passed another spending bill. That's not going to happen. We just passed another $1.2 trillion spending bill just recently. That will take us to what would they say, September, October, something like that in the budget. So that $1.2 trillion alone is going to keep the Fed from being able to lower the rate. It's not even possible. And remember just a couple of weeks ago, we played the audio of the economist that talked about
Starting point is 01:17:20 how the inflation number, we're told, is nothing based in reality. The actual inflation is compounded. So if it was three and a half percent last year and it's three and a half percent this year, that's seven percent inflation. Now you go back several years. You see the chart on inflation. It's done nothing but go north since Biden took office. And all the spending is how it got there. Yeah. Great. This is all just lovely. So, I mean, this is what really Ultimately, this is what should be the big focus going into November. This is what everybody should be focused on. This should be, I mean, it's the economy.
Starting point is 01:17:58 This should be the big, really test of your vote. But that's not what Democrats are doing. In fact, they're focusing on, oh, Arizona and abortion. Jeez. So tired. I'm so tired of it. So what you had, you had Arizona Supreme Court that ruled that this law, it's an 18, law that outlawed abortion with some exceptions that everyone saying, oh, you're going to force
Starting point is 01:18:28 everything to shut down. It's going to, everything's going to, everything's going to shut down. And now you've got Democrats that are freaking out over it. They're, well, they're not, they're using it as a get out the vote apparatus, whereas Republicans are running scared because they're cowards is really what it is. So the Supreme Court, The right has been divided on this. This is a true test in where you stand on life issues, I think. Not the incremental, not it, I don't believe that it's the all or nothing versus incrementalism approach. It's, do you think this went too far or not?
Starting point is 01:19:03 That this is, this is the Roershack test. So you have the AG, Chris May, said she's not going to enforce it. She said it was a four-two decision that it was unconscious, it was unconscionable and an affront to freedom, et cetera, et cetera. I don't think that the AGs, though, that's like the state legislature that gets to determine what laws are enforceable or not, not the attorney general. So if the attorney general isn't going to enforce the law of the land, then the attorney general of Arizona should resign. But I think, and my friend Dan McLaughlin had said that this is a test of pro-life realism. And I think that that's correct.
Starting point is 01:19:41 Because this is very similar to what we saw with Wisconsin and in Michigan. And the reason that I, because this is two separate issues, whether or not you think this law goes too far and the whole other fight of approach to life all or nothing or incrementalism. And Republicans have got to get their messaging down on this because already you got, you had Carrie Lake who said it went too far. And Trump just said, apparently that it went too far. When he was, he's in Georgia. He's there for a fundraiser. And he said that he believes, he goes, as you know, he said, as you know, as you know, it's all about states rights and it'll be straightened out. And he says, I think we have to bring it back into reason and that it will be taken care of, I think.
Starting point is 01:20:22 And he was asked, and I think I put the video and it's like, he was asked if the state's highest court went too far in the ruling. And he said, quote, yes, they did. And that will be straightened out. So there's going to be this kind of divide on the right as it relates to how far with life. because this ruling the way so it's an 1864 law 4-2 it's the after roe v wade there's no right to abortion etc and they said it would make it there's still exceptions Arizona already had a 15-week limit on it and I know Democrats were trying to get this on the like make this a ballot measure this year I think from everything that I read that they're going to appeal this and they'll probably win. But the, I mean, what they put on here, I'm trying to figure out it's, so you have exceptions for rape and incest, et cetera, life of the mother, but you're just not able to use it as a form of birth control.
Starting point is 01:21:30 So, Kane, what am I missing? Why is everybody freaking out about this? Why are Republicans freaking out about this? Well, I think they need to make this a national issue and can't allow the states to do their own thing, even though that's what we should be doing? But they act like it goes, I'm trying to figure out why I'm seeing Republicans act like this goes so much further than anything that they've ever talked about. That doesn't make any sense to me at all. I mean, I'm, I was reading a response that just came out from some of their lawmakers in Arizona to the AG who said that she wasn't going to enforce this.
Starting point is 01:22:01 I'm just trying to figure out what was, what's different with us. So it's a ban, but there are acceptance. even though they're trying to act like they are not. And even the Wall Street Journal, when they write about it, they said it's a ban on nearly all abortions, because there are those exceptions that are present in every state. So I don't know why are people like Kerry Lake running from this? It's an election year. Are Republicans so scared of the, and I get it, she's a modern, she was just recently a Democrat.
Starting point is 01:22:37 Look, this is when the rubber meets the road. If you're a brand new Republican and you were just a Democrat, you're going to be scared of hot-button issues like this. And you will crumple because you haven't been tested and you haven't matured in that ideology yet. This is why you can't be rushing to make people generals in the battlefield of ideology when they haven't matured in that ideology yet. That's not an exclusion. It's saying you're not going to put people in charge of thought and be a thought leader for a whole entire ideology that they haven't been a part of until just now. I'm just trying to figure out why some of these Republicans are running away from this. There's no, you'll need to get your messaging in check.
Starting point is 01:23:13 This is crazy because I see now Democrats, you know, rhetorically speaking, they smell blood in the water. They see all these Republicans running scared. They're going to push even harder. So now what you're going to have. I'm going to tell you if you think that you're going to be competitive with Democrats by being Democrat light, people will pick the real thing. And it won't be you. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five.
Starting point is 01:23:39 All right here. So, oh my gosh, hang on, I got to wait for this. I just, uh, I saw this headline, New York post as a Gothelm that was inspired by cinema's scariest monsters listed for 254,000. It's just a tacky house that's painted black and filled with cheap memorabilia that's probably mass produced in China. I was really let down by that. I've got to tell you.
Starting point is 01:24:00 Uh, let's see here. First up, loneliness apparently leads to food addiction and then obesity. Duh. Uh, let's see. Uh, canadian, do you really want me to expand on the? that? It's obvious. Everybody knows. Canadian DNA lab knew its paternity test
Starting point is 01:24:15 identified the wrong dads, but it kept selling them anyway. Jeez. Oh, wow. They knowingly delivered prenatal paternity tests that routinely identify wrong baby daddies, ruling out the real dads, and left a trail of shattered lives around
Starting point is 01:24:31 the globe. Oh, my gosh. They, oh my gosh. And it gets into all of these, like, they're lives were upended. And they said that there have been tons of these tests that were proven wrong. Oh my gosh, during a birth. And they, apparently there was a situation where a woman even aborted the child.
Starting point is 01:24:54 Oh, my gosh. I'm not even kidding you. That is, this is one of the most heinous things I've ever seen in my life. Marriages that were broken up. Relate. Oh, my gosh. Oh, man. you cannot sue these people enough. This DNA lab, it's a Viagard acumetrics. They used guesswork
Starting point is 01:25:15 over science. And that's what their own employees said. That's one of the worst stories I think I've ever heard. Oh my gosh. They said that, oh, the OZMPIC thing, they said that there are 100 UZMPIC deaths linked to OZMPIC and similar weight loss drugs, including a 28-year-old who died from an intestinal mass and a pregnant woman. Why is a pregnant woman taking that stuff? Oh my gosh. They said that, yeah, intestinal mass, more than 100 deaths. They said that they weren't directly caused by the injections, but the injections were played a part in it.
Starting point is 01:25:54 So technically, I mean, if you wanted to like, you know, have a battle over semantics, they said that the, I've read that too, that it messes up your digestive system and you can get dehydrated and that some of the symptoms included blockages in the intestines even. Wow. Dying from an intestinal mass, though? That's crazy. And listen to all the side effects.
Starting point is 01:26:21 You know how we always make fun of the side effects of different like those commercials that play, you know, and side effects could include, you know, nausea, death, painful death, dying to death. This has like nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, fatigue, stomach pain, headaches, dizziness.
Starting point is 01:26:37 I'd rather be a little fat. Or there's also just like intermittent fasting and watching what you eat and working out. And guess what? You don't get an intestinal mass. Vatican declared transgender surgery should never be attempted. Why are they just now declaring this? An entire home was spotted literally floating across the San Francisco Bay. Like a whole house.
Starting point is 01:27:00 It was a large wood shingled two-story house that was floating across the bay towed by a tiny boat. It was a glacial pace. It went from Redwood City towards Salisito. The Coast Guard confirmed it. It was still in transit Monday afternoon. They said that it was a private transfer and that it was the second to last floating home at the Redwood City Marina because they've been evicting houseboat residents because homeowners filed a lawsuit against the city. There were people who they called live-a-boards. They lived on houseboats there and they didn't pay like taxes.
Starting point is 01:27:36 property taxes and that. Well, then why not create a scheme where you can do that and you can still so, yeah, but they very slowly, this little floated, floataway house is floating across the bay to somewhere different. Yeah, they've been having a big fight over that. But, you know, the feces and needles and everything else, that's totally acceptable, you know, in San Francisco. You just can't have the live-a-boards. So coming up, Senator Ron Johnson next, stick with us. Elevate your commute, workouts or downtime with the Dana Show podcast. Unleash the power of knowledge at your fingertips. by following Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 01:28:11 I think there's no question, but that this is not going to result in a conviction. Because the test of a high crime or misdemeanor being committed has not been alleged, and as a result of that, there will not be a conviction. Yeah, but what has been alleged is that you have Alejandro Mayorkas not actually doing his job, and as a result, it's led to a catastrophic, situation at our southern border. I mean, we're in Texas. We're based in Texas. We have affiliates all along the southern border, all across the United States, and the stuff that we are hearing coming out of places like, you know, McCallon, K-U-R-V and everywhere else. I mean, it's a nightmare.
Starting point is 01:28:50 I mean, when you're, when you have listeners that are and viewers of the simulcast that you're watching now, Channel 347, Direct TV, X and elsewhere, that are reaching out to you and saying, yeah, I literally drove past like another makeshift processing center for illegal immigrants on my home after I pick my kids up from school. I mean, that's literally what people have been telling us, because it's so crazy at the southern border. And then they send like photos and video and everything else. It's a real problem. And this guy is not doing his job. And I'm not even going to get into the New York Times story where it's like, where the 120-something thousand kids that were brought over illegally. I mean, actual kids, not 20-year-olds pretending to be kids, but like 12-year-olds, 10-year-olds,
Starting point is 01:29:30 that they can't even find anymore. The third-party contractors can't find anymore. I mean, it has been an absolute breakdown in law and order. He's been behind it. So if you're not doing your job, why are you in the position in the first place? So welcome back, Dana Lash with you, joining us now via Skype. One of the senators who's been in on this and has been watching this and been fighting for accountability from Wisconsin, Senator Ron Johnson, Senator, always a pleasure to have you. I wanted to get, so what is the latest? Because I know Chuck Schumer has been trying to table this whole thing. They don't want an impeachment of Mayorkas. They don't, he doesn't want the Senate to do its due diligence by the American citizen.
Starting point is 01:30:07 And I'm curious as to, if that's going to happen, is he going to get his, what's the latest? Well, Dana, well, unfortunately, the parliamentarian ruled that a tabling motion would be in order. Wow. We don't. She just, you know, doing the bidding of the majority leader, I suppose. But, you know, fortunately, number of us contact to Speaker Johnson. I don't think he was aware by delivering the articles of impeachment today at five o'clock.
Starting point is 01:30:34 would set up Schumer bringing this thing up Thursday at 1 o'clock. Now, historically, the Senate concludes his business final vote about 1.45 and people fly home to their states. So that was going to allow Democrats to snuff this thing out in just a few hours. But we contacted the Speaker and he's going to delay the delivery so at least we can make the point, raise points of order. But for example, I have the weekend to talk about what a catastrophe, the open border policy of not only Biden, but Democrats in Congress, what a catastrophe that's been for our nation. There's nothing humane, by the way.
Starting point is 01:31:09 They kept saying that Trump's closed border was inhumane. There's nothing humane about an open border policy that is facilitating the multi-billion-dollar business model of some most evil people on the planet, the human traffickers, the drug traffickers, the sex traffickers. How do you think these young women pay off their $5,000, $10,000 human trafficking? fee. You know how they do it. It's under the radar. The media's not reporting this. There are such human depredations occurring because this open border policy. Again, nothing
Starting point is 01:31:41 humane about it whatsoever. We need to talk about that. We should be discussing that on the floor of the Senate. It should be in the form of a trial. If we don't get that at a minimum, we need to draw this thing out so we can talk about this catastrophe as much as possible. I completely agree with you, Senator, on that. And this talking about the tabling of Mayorkas's impeachment. We played this audio of your colleague, Senator Romney, saying that, well, it wasn't a high crime or a misdemeanor, so you can't really impeach. But not doing your job, though, does mean that you can, correct? Well, first of all, Congress determines what a high crime and misdemeanor is. There's really no strong definition. So it is what we say it is. Now, do I expect a conviction in the
Starting point is 01:32:25 Senate? No, because all the Democrats also want an open border. I can't emphasize that enough. This isn't just President Biden. It's not just Secretary of Marcos. Every Democrat in Congress, virtually every Democrat, wants an open border. They caused this problem. They could solve this problem. We didn't need additional legislation. President Trump, with the weakened authority because of court decisions, but even with that
Starting point is 01:32:47 weakened authority, he closed the border. President Biden using that exact same presidential authority, opened it up. So he can close it if he wants to. He just doesn't want to. And that's the whole point of it. I also think they don't want talking about. Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin. I also think that Democrats don't want that optic of actually having them vote against impeaching Mayourkus vote against holding accountable. One of the architects
Starting point is 01:33:12 of this chaotic border situation, this deluge that's coming across because they're Democrat voters. Actually, I mean, when they're surveyed, they agreed with Republicans on the border. Democrats don't want to have that accountability play out in the press like that, I think. Oh, absolutely. This is the last thing they want to talk about because they know that Americans, by and support in a closed border, a secure border, a sovereign nation. By the way, the only reason this is getting media attention at all, because Mayor Adams and Mayor Johnson in New York and Chicago, those sanctuary cities realize that their sanctuary cities can't handle this massive info, is destroying their cities. So they started speaking out about it, forcing the mainstream
Starting point is 01:33:53 media, who'd been covering up for the Biden administration for years, forced the mainstream media to finally start talking about this, reporting on it to a certain extent. And when more Americans learn of this, you know, other than just watching the few conservative outlets that were covering this catastrophe, they pretty well got exactly what a problem this is and what it's going to be long term as well. So now it became a political issue. Democrats in Congress, by the way, they weren't negotiating for a border security measure that would actually secure the border.
Starting point is 01:34:23 All they were looking for is political cover. and unfortunately those secret negotiations that Mitch McConnell masterminded, to a certain extent, gave them that political cover, hopefully not to the extent that they're hoping. Yeah. I mean, this is a disaster. I wanted to ask you about this piece that ran a Daily Caller where there are some sources saying that Speaker Johnson's handling of some of the Mayorkas impeachment evidence could maybe compromise this case. I don't know if you've seen that story or what you make of, you know, what those sources are alleging. But they're saying that these impeachment managers tasked with prosecuting this case. They're saying that it was ill-prepared evidence, et cetera.
Starting point is 01:35:06 I mean, it seems like the evidence is pretty public, but maybe there's something I don't know, Senator. Yeah, again, I don't know the specific case. I don't think Chuck Schumer is going to allow the House managers to make their case. So we all have to make it. We have to point out, you know, forget the legalisms behind high crime. or misdemeanor or, you know, whether Mayorkas, you know, his dereliction of duty, his not upholding his oath of office to faithfully execute the laws, whether that rises to impeachment or not, set that aside. The case we need to prosecute is what a disaster, the open border policy is,
Starting point is 01:35:39 how we're going to see the ramifications of this for years, if not decades in the future. This is not going to be something that America is going to overcome anytime soon. Yeah, no, it's not, unfortunately, talking with Senator Ron Johnson, out of the beautiful state of Wisconsin. I wanted to ask you also, you came out, and I'm pulling this up. This was on your website. You've demanded Health and Human Services Secretary, Xavier Bacera. I still am amazed that the AG of California can be the Health and Human Services Secretary,
Starting point is 01:36:07 knowing nothing about health and human services. But okay, turn over the unredacted records on the origin of the coronavirus and for him to give a detailed explanation as to why they've ignored this, legal request, this requirement to produce all of this information related to what they know about the origins, you still have not been satisfied on that request, correct? No, not at all. You know, it took a court order under FOIA request to get the first 4,000 pages of the fauch emails. Those, of course, were heavily redacted because the agencies can redact under FOIA requests, but Congress is not subject to those redactions. So as an
Starting point is 01:36:45 accommodation, we narrowed our request down to 400 pages unredacted as an accommodation to they allowed us to view those pages, unredacted, 50 pages at a time in a reading room, couldn't take copies, could take notes. We've reviewed about 350 pages. Now it's been over a year, the remaining 50 pages, very heavily redacted, if not 100% redacted in many cases.
Starting point is 01:37:08 That's where the incriminating evidence is, they will not provide those to us. Again, even though there's a law, five members of the Homeland Security Committee signed this, the agency shall turn over this information for requesting it and they're not doing it because the executive branch, the administration is just thumbs its nose in congressional requests. We've allowed our congressional oversight authority to atrophy and that's a real shame. Who do these people think that they work for,
Starting point is 01:37:38 Senator? I mean, if they cannot redact this information for members of Congress, then why are they being allowed to get away from doing just that? Because the executive branch has so much authority, let's face it, Congress holds somebody in contempt of Congress, but if it's an administration official, they didn't prosecute Eric Holder, but they prosecuted Peter Navarro. So it ends up being completely partisan. Congress has very limited enforcement capabilities. What we have, we haven't used. Again, we've allowed it to atrophy.
Starting point is 01:38:08 So administrations from both parties understand this, and they don't believe they're accountable to the American public. I mean, this is outrageous. I mean, for example, we've been requesting the announcement. of the VAIR system that the health agencies said they were going to do. They say they've done it. They will not turn that over. We fund these agencies.
Starting point is 01:38:27 We pay their salaries. We fund the studies. That is the information the American public deserves to have, and yet they still won't turn it over. So it is outrageous. I get passionate about this. I could not be more frustrated, but there's very little I can do, particularly in the minority where I don't have the subpoena power.
Starting point is 01:38:44 And I really can't press using our other enforcement. mechanisms. This is everything that's at stake coming up in November, and especially even with a week and majority in the House. I mean, they could, I mean, if they had the will and the power, they could push to defund these agencies or at least, you know, freeze their funding, something for there to be some sort of penalty to maybe, maybe incentivize them to work with you a little bit more, Senator. But my goodness, they can't, they're not able to marshal any kind of momentum in the House either with only a plus one majority now. So, I mean, really, until that changes, until the makeup of Congress changes.
Starting point is 01:39:19 And until I think we get a little bit more than political willpower with some of these elected officials, what I'm hearing is that we may never know. No, we need strong conservatives to be elected in both the House and the Senate so that the members of the Uniparty that are part of our conference are marginalized and conservatives can actually rule the roost here. We don't have those majorities right now. We need them. Listen, I have a great deal of sympathy for.
Starting point is 01:39:46 for the position Speaker Johnson, I think he is a true conservative. I know he'd like to do things that he simply can't do because, yeah, he's got members of the unit party that are happy to fund these agencies that don't mind big government that really aren't concerned about massive deficits spending. They're the same problem with Republicans in the Senate as well. So we need the public demanding fiscal responsibility and sanity. We need the public demanding that we stop plundering and warging our kids' future. Right now, the public's really not demanding it.
Starting point is 01:40:14 Yeah, the public's not demanding it. Instead, they're getting distracted on all manner. Anytime Democrats want to distract them with the latest, I don't know, Arizona Supreme Court ruling, whatever it is, then, you know, that's how, that's where Americans' attention will go. It's unbelievable. I share your frustration, Senator. Senator Ron Johnson, always enjoy having you on. We have to have you back. And thank you for keeping us aware of this fight and the difficulty as well. We appreciate your time. Stay well. Of course. You too. Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. because knowledge is your ultimate superpower.
Starting point is 01:40:48 So was it this, you made a lot of concessions in the negotiations? Oh, that's all I didn't. Okay, let's get to the bottom. That is such a misnomer in life. Let me give you the truth about that now. And I'll give you the truth why I'm not speaker. It's because one person, a member of Congress, wanted me to stop an ethics complaint because he slept with a 17-year-old.
Starting point is 01:41:11 An ethics complaint that started before I ever became speaker, And that's illegal and I'm not going to get in the middle. Did he do it or not? I don't know. But ethics is looking at it. There's other people in jail because of it. And he wanted me to influence it. And you know what?
Starting point is 01:41:26 So then they come out and they say, because I kept government open, I'd do it all over again. I got to be real. That's what I had heard too. But I'm just telling you. That's why I was like, it was a fight between the two of those, him and Gates. It was him and Matt Gates. He's talking about Matt Gates. We had to play that sound by from Kevin McCart.
Starting point is 01:41:44 That was, oh my goodness. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you. Yeah, that's, yeah. I mean, it sounds like I knew it was over. I think Gates had wanted McCarthy to intervene on this ethical stuff. And McCarthy did not want to use his political capital for it. And that's what resulted in this.
Starting point is 01:42:06 And now we got Mike Johnson, who he can be the nicest guy in the world. But we're not grading you on how nice you are. We're grading you on how well you're performing a house. speaker and they're two very entirely different things and they should not be conflated and one should not be used as a way to ensure approval of the other. So there you go. I wanted to play that audio and then I need audio sound bite 10. Tom Cotton has made an amazing point here. Listen to this. You talked a lot with Senator Reid about Israel's responsibility to provide aid in Gaza. Why does Israel have a responsibility provide aid to Gaza? Israel was the victim of an unprovoked vicious attack on October 7th. Why should
Starting point is 01:42:42 they provide aid to the aggressor nation, or aggressor, God says not a nation, to the aggressors on October 7th. We didn't provide aid to Germany in Japan during World War II. What we did provide aid to, and assistance to many of the countries that we've operated in recently.
Starting point is 01:43:03 But not in World War II. If you had been in George Marshall's or Dwight Eisenhower's position in World War II, would you have wanted to provide aid to Germany? Yeah, why would you, I mean, Israel under no condition nor is there any kind of requirement
Starting point is 01:43:18 that they should have to provide any kind of Veda-Gaza. I thought that was a great point. Tom Cotton made a very, very good point. So the FISA bill, the House blocked it. The House did something, guys. They voted down
Starting point is 01:43:28 the FISA spy bill. Wow. They did something. Is it voted down or is it just tabled? No, well, the Mayorkas thing is tabled. They voted this down. Okay. That doesn't mean
Starting point is 01:43:40 then they're not going to try to bring it back up. you know, I mean, there's one thing that Democrats are. It's very, very persistent. But so they did something. Look at that. And I'm watching all these lawmakers go, I voted no on the rule for FISA. Good. We shouldn't be spying on people without a search warrant. If it's important enough to spy on people, it's important enough to get the backside and get the a warrant. I know my right. So you're going to need a warrant for that. So, yeah, you guys know that track. My glove compartment's locks. So it's a trunk and the back and I know my rights, so you're going to need a warn for that. Anyway, that was a great Rick Ruben produced track. So, tomorrow I'm going to talk more about this abortion thing with Arizona and also
Starting point is 01:44:25 what the Republican Party needs to be focusing on for 2024. Cain, today's stupidity. All right, it is our vice president, Kamala Harris, Juan. This is cut 13. Oh my gosh. I can't believe she's even insinuating this, but apparently she's against restricting sexually explicit literature in elementary schools. Listen to this. All right. Had it or hit it, book thing. Oh, God, had it. Had it, had it, had it. Again, the idea that you would restrict information and, you know, the same people who are doing that are this, you know, some of the same people who are denying our history. I mean, are trying to kind of just whitewash it.
Starting point is 01:45:06 It's more annoying than the view. I love like when like older women are trying to be like super happy. They had it or how? Go get some Zima, ladies. Folks, I'll be back with you tomorrow.
