To keep them in the fight. This weekend, the reports, and this is, I find this amazing, the reports of cheers breaking out of the trenches in eastern Ukraine, probably came from one of your folks, who I'm a reporter or someone, I'm not sure it came from, but they're cheering as they watch the House float in support for Ukraine. It's not like they don't understand what we've done, not like they don't understand how critical this is for that.

Hi. So, welcome to the radio program in the simulcast. I was President Joe Biden, Kane, who was talking about all the monies, our monies that he gave to the Ukraine. And, you know, we're going to be paying pensions. We're going to be paying all kinds of good stuff over there, right? That's what we're going to be paying. And that went through the Senate last night. and that's some of the latest. I mean, I don't have anything great. I wish I had something good to share with you about that, but I got to be honest about it.

I'm not going to sit here and blow smoke up y'all's back sides because it just wouldn't be proper. And I said something on, I said something on Twitter last night upon the passage of this, or X now, sorry. I said something on X about this because it's to a level that's insane. I feel like the way that the GOP has been handling this.

I don't know if you saw Thomas Massey's post about this yesterday. Apparently, they're trying to fine him because he posted the video. The video of all of the lawmakers that were waving Ukrainian flags, that was Thomas Massey's video and he posted it on X. and Mike Johnson got really mad about it and now apparently he's going to be fined $500 if he doesn't delete the post and I retweeted it yesterday and I said

I'm just about at the point where I don't care who wins the house in November let everything go to hell. So welcome to the radio program. Dana Lash with you at the top of this first hour and you can listen to Coast and you can watch again the simulcast that is on everywhere, I think. It's on X. It's on. We're everywhere. So you can make sure that you check all of that out. I had someone who, who, who, it's literally a drive-by that's never listened to my program. And they're

like, oh, Jane isn't a good movie see. You know, just all she does every day is just rage at all. I'm like, you, tell me that you've never listened to me without telling me you've never listen to me. I'm like, oh, wait, don't respond because it's going to be a lie. Just, you know, GTFO. I'm done. But there are some things that it's worth getting upset about because if you're not going to get upset about it and get mad about it. What's the point? I mean, for instance, Republicans doing this. Like, what is the point?

I can't tell you, oh, my gosh, I wish I could just tell you my tax burden. It makes me so angry. I'll just tell you, I paid six figures in taxes. Oh, yes. I've paid six figures in taxes this year. I paid less in tax than Joe Biden. I pay less in tax, or sorry, more in tax. I pay more in tax than Joe Biden.

And I pay more in tax than Hunter Biden. I probably pay more in tax than Barack Obama and the Clintons, et cetera. And it's, it makes me sick and it makes me enraged because that's, that's capital that I would use to expand what we're doing, what we do here. I would hire. I would do. There's all kinds of stuff. Benefit. I mean, there's all kinds of stuff I would do, but I can't because I got to give it to the government so we can give it to,

Vladimir Zelensky over there and they can pay the pensions in Ukraine. It's more important to pay the pensions and benefits of Ukrainians than it is to, you know, be able to keep some of what you pay in. So, yes, I get enraged. I have every right to be because we went to war during the War of Independence for less than this. And I, I am overtaxed and underrepresented. And I have my money forcibly taken under threat of penalty and wasted on all manner of everything that has nothing to do with putting the priorities of this country first. And so when I see stuff like this pass in D.C. And I see these, I see these lawmakers wave their stupid little flags. The rage that I feel bubbles up out of my throat. I, it's, and it is absolutely justified. And it should be justified for

you too. I'm not kidding you. I mean, it's, it's, you know, everyone thinks that, oh, you're in radio. You must be loaded. No, you, no, not after my tax burden. That's what I got to pay the government. I mean, that's the government's loaded. They take pretty much everything I get. It's crazy. And we do everything possible, but we got to be careful because the IRS is super zealous. They ask questions about everything that's done, audits, all of that other stuff. And it's they make it to where you have to constantly look over your shoulder, right, perpetually.

That's the way that life is. That's, you know, my life under this administration. and I'm sure a lot of other people too because of their political, where they lean politically. And it's just, it's incredibly unfortunate, but that's the reality of the situation. So yeah, people get, people like me, and I mean, really you, you have every right to be livid about what you're seeing

and the stuff that you see in D.C. And then passing this. And they say, well, it's not a blank check. If it's not a blank check, then why the hell can you not account for billions of it? why is it that the IG had to issue a report saying, okay, we actually would like to know a little bit more like where all of this money is going.

I mean, I feel like that's, you know, it's enraging. And then the administration wants to prioritize climate change for some reason. That's what they, they want more of your money for climate change. They want more of your money for everything other than you being able to keep it. So yeah, Biden talking about,

he talked a little bit earlier. about this, the, um, this foreign aid bill. And I'm telling you, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's frustrating. And I want you to realize, too, I was talking about this with Jesse Waters last night when Biden talks about his student loan forgiveness thing, right? Those protesters that you screaming about how much they love Hamas, which is true. I'm not making that up. They yelled it. They yell about how they love Hamas and they yell about how they want Israel destroyed

and all this other stuff. These protesters that you see at these college campuses, you're paying for their tuition. That's part of what your tax dollars are going for. So you're literally, you're actually paying for that. You're paying for them to be there and do that. It's pretty amazing. pretty amazing. And so that's, yeah, people are, people just feel like where they want to ask where the American

dream is. And you have every right. I mean, at this point, what are we getting out of the house? I'm going to, I'll lighten it up later on in the show, but I got to tell you, it's, it is a chore every single day to try to find a shiny object in the mess that is the Republican Party, like, all over. We have a candidate who's going to be in trial. And, you know, Yes, it's part witch hunt and part he created his own situation. This is why you don't FO on your wife. Is he better than Biden? Yes, he's better than Biden.

But I'm not going to sit here and blow smoke up your ass and act like, you know, part of the problem isn't self-created. Is it a witch hunt? Yes. You also don't have a side piece. Is it illegal to pay your sidepiece to shut up? No. But when you are the Republican nominee and you are running for office,

you got to understand that Democrats are going to weaponize it just as we would weaponize it with the left. I mean, come on. I mean, we got, we don't have field offices in a number of battleground states from the campaign. We got a broke RNC, a broke GOP. I don't know what's going to happen down ticket. And for the first time ever, I'm going into an election where I actually can't tell you what the lay of the land is going to be. And none of these surveyors can also, all of them, crystal ball, all of them, the Sabato crystal ball, all of that stuff. It's all full of absolute excrement. It's all stupid. It's all

dumb. And then we've got all this infighting on the right because you have a bunch of people who aren't actually conservatives, but they're merging it out. And you have a combination of a newly created conservative socialist, DEI hires and everything else. Because the conservative party gets into DEI hires just as much as Democrats. I mean, I have to do is look at some of the the speakership circuit. It's the same offense. And they're infighting with each other and everybody's shocked about this. Like, seriously?

So it's a flaming pile of excrement. And this is why I stay in Dallas. I'm going to tell you as it is because I'm not a lot of people out there are going to try to get you all hyped up because they want the clicks. They want you to listen. They want to sell you for ads. I don't know. Maybe I should be like-minded as well. Maybe I should just ring it out for the same.

because you cane looking at me I can have a sip of my coffee I feel like Kermit the frog I tell you I'll give you some insight I got like our executives and stuff they're like Dana oh my gosh because it is a little bit like Game of Thrones

right I talk radio and and conservative commentary and all of that stuff has changed where it's like oh you got to play the game you gotta you gotta you gotta talk like everybody else talks and I don't do that

I just I've never cared to do that. And it's at my own detriment. I've never cared to do that. And it's, it's, it's, I've, I've, I could tell you, one day I'm going to write a book and you guys are going to be like, oh my gosh, I've just never cared to do it. And I'm the black sheep of the, of, I'm the black sheep of conservatism. It really, it is actually true. King's like, yeah, you are. Yeah, you are. Because the Republican Party does not like me. Big Con, Inc. They're the new conservatives that want to be the establishment, they know that I call them out on their BS, so they don't really want to have anything

to do with me. And I'm just totally fine, just hanging out here with all you all. They can't sit with us. Okay, we're the, we're the Veronica's of the heathers. They can't sit with us. I'm done with it. So, I just wanted to give you a little bit of the lay of the land there, because I want to give you some insight into my perspective and tone so you

can kind of gauge where I'm at. I'm not in a bad mood. I'm just like, this is what it is, y'all. This is the nature of stuff, right? It's the nature. of things. So, I mean, I just am tired of it all. I'm tired of it all. I'm tired of the whole everything. It's actually one of the reasons why I cut all my hair off, by the way, too. I got tired of the over, I never had extensions, but I got tired of all of that stuff, right? Yeah, be foxed up. I may come in with half a Mohawk. I'm not kidding. Seriously, it's one of the reasons why. I'm just tired of it all.

I feel like you got to be real with people. So if you want to, if you want like real insight and you don't want people to blow smoke up your backside and you want to you you you just want like genuine fellowship then you found the right place but if you want all the plasticine and if you want uh if you want the the the i don't know the foxified the extensions the your face doesn't move you've got like a bunch of stuff shoved up in your cheeks you know you go elsewhere and find it i'm sure you'd be happy i'm just saying i'm gonna have another sip of my coffee it's radio so i can do that and tv i can do I can do it all. It's the tacto squash, by the way, in case you were wondering.

I think the tacto squash makes me a little aggressive, if I'm being honest. I think I need to talk to the black rifle guys about that and be like, I feel like this coffee makes me mean when I have it in the morning. All right. So that's the latest. I wanted to give you some perspective going through the rest of the show. So you kind of have an idea of what's like, why does she think like this? That's why.

Now, we're going to, did you see, we're going to talk about this coming up, and I'm going to play this audio for you later. Did you see what happened outside of Chuck Schumer's house last night? So the college trust fund trash babies? Oh, wow. Band name. That's a band name. College trust fund trash babies. And it's a bunch of really, it's a bunch of slackers that have horrible taste in music.

and they only can play power chords and literally Wonderwall is their favorite song. They protested outside of Chuck Schumer's house last night and he rained down the po-po on them so hard. He called the police. They were there at outside his house getting those people out. Interesting how that happens, right? We're going to talk a little about that. That was quick. I mean, that happened so fast. They didn't even know what was going on. They were like, wait a minute. What? What's happening here? So we're going to get into all of that as well.

Well, looking at this, the FTC's banned non-compete agreements that restrict job switching. The move sets up a high-stakes legal clash with business groups over the agency's power. They banned employers from using non-compete contracts that prevent people

literally. A lot of times, these non-competes, they prevent people from, like, working somewhere else for a whole year. It's what, so you're like unemployed or you've got to work a part-time job that's not even in your field of expertise for a whole year before you can go and get a job elsewhere. wild. So they're looking at banning those. That's kind of interesting. I sit on the fence about it. I don't like the government telling businesses what to do, but I also don't like businesses taking advantage of people either, and I've seen that happen before, especially in media. Tennessee's passed a bill to let teachers carry guns a year after a mass casualty incident. Teachers who want to and who undergo the training are going to be free to exercise their Second

Amendment rights and protect themselves and their students. And I think that this is a good idea. Nobody wants someone who doesn't want to carry a gun to carry a gun. But I got to tell you, I know a lot of teachers who carry anyway. And they're like, we would love to be able to defend ourselves. Like, I know teachers who are like, we got more training than the security guards at our school. We would love to be able to carry. And let them do it. So good on Tennessee for being able to do that.

Apparently now people think that 75 is the new 65 and nobody knows when old age begins. And there's a new quarter life crisis. We're going to talk about that coming up. Stick with us more in store.

You know, if I have my way in the next, four years, I'm going to make community college free. And it'll grow the economy.

Why is he yelling? It won't cross the back there. He's going to happen. He's going to make it free, everybody. Free with the asterisk, meaning it's not actually going to be free. It's just we're all going to pay for it. All right. So I got to be cranky pants a little bit here. Welcome back to the program. Let me drink some more. I got to have more liquid rage here. Hold up. Rage juice.

Mm-hmm. Used to you. You're not supposed to drink. coffee on radio, but I don't care anymore. Come and get me. Dana Lash with you. Bottom of this first hour. I talked about, I'm still mad about this since last night. And this has to do with this loan forgiveness thing. I'm getting up to it. Give me a moment. Because you're going to get mad. You're going to share my mood here in a moment.

So hold up. So, you know, you got Biden who's got this, you know, he's got a student loan, whatever. It's the forgiveness. I love how they say that. Forgiveness, right? Forgiveness. First off, let me set the state. stage. The third greatest movie of all time, besides the Godfather, and Lord of the Rings,

is PCU with Jeremy Piven. And I tweeted out a link where you can actually go and watch it online because for some reason they're not selling it or allowing you to rent it or buy it anymore because it's too honest. Jeremy Pivens and PCU is a prophecy.

Much like idiocry but better written and better acted. And it's amazing. It's one of the best movies that's ever been to celluloid. And it's an older movie. It's back before cell phones and TikTok and BS and influencers trying to sell you, you know, mass-produced Chinese-made stuff. And it stars Jeremy Piven, who's one of those dudes who goes to college and he just sort of stays there for like a decade for some reason. And he's a part of this frat and they have this, their dorm is called the Pit. And they're the slackers and the stoners and the metalheads and all that stuff. And it gets

all the, the whole student body is broken up into groups. Like you've got the lesbians. You've got the feminist. You have the black student group. You've got the hippie group that only play hockey sack and wear like crocheted hats. And you've got like, you know, all these people. You've got the debutantes. You've got the preppy nerds, right?

Those dudes who wear their ties too tight. And, you know, their loafers are just a little too not broken in. I mean, it's just you got every group and they all hate each other and it makes fun of all of the division and political correctness. And at one point, like they're getting ready to throw like this major party so that they can keep their house and they just happen to get. And he follows me on Twitter and I will never understand this. But, you know, I'm very stoked about it. They happen to get by chance George Clinton and Pfeunk to come and play their big party at the pit, right? Because they're saving their whole frat house from, they got to.

to pay this fine to the university. So they're selling, like you got to pay $5 and go to the bathroom, all this stuff there. They're raising money however they can. And one of the other things that they're doing is that they sell into term papers, right? So Jeremy Piven is in like one of these little side rooms of the pit and he's like, all right, what's your major? Okay, here's a paper for you. Here's a paper for you. And you've got this dude who comes up. And Piven goes, well, what's your major? And he goes, Sanskrit. And Piven stops for a minute. And he looks at him. He's like, you're majoring in a 2,000-year-old dead language. And he goes Latin, best I can do.

And he hands it to him, and then that was it. And it got me to thinking, that guy's a moron. And he should be publicly flawed. You know how at some, maybe this is just happening with me in the Ozarks. There was one of the fun things that we used to do whenever there was any kind of like town party, town festival, town whatever, is you'd pay like $2 or however many. And you'd raise money for the fire department. You'd take a sledgehammer and you'd get to whack a car. like it was an old junker and you got to beat the tar out of this car, right?

Maybe you could do the same thing with that dude, not a sledgehammer, but you could slap him for $2 because he decided to spend his money to major in Sanskrit. Now that was his money. If you're going to waste your money, that's fine. When you waste my money, I feel like I shouldn't even have to pay to slap you. I should just get that slap for free. You know what I'm saying? So this brings me to my point of this guy named Joel Lambden. This guy's like older than I am.

and we're all paying his student loans. I am paying the student loan of a guy who's older than me. So this guy, he's 49 years old, and he got a quarter of a million dollars in student loan forgiveness. Forgiveness in January. Now, see, he had taken out a loan, and he had let it accrue interest because he didn't pay it off, and so he just let it get more and more expensive.

he finished grad school. He went and studied music. I think if you're 49 years old and you're still trying to make it in music, you were a pathetic meat sack and you need to man up and like get serious about living your life because it's not going to happen for you. You know, like the dad who tries to live out his football dreams with his subpar playing JV, you know, second string kid on the high school football team, you know, you got to like realize it's not going to happen for you.

So he allowed all the interest to create. and all this, and so it ended up being a quarter of a million dollars. And he finished, guys, it gets worse. He finished grad school in 1998. But he was hardly making enough money to pay off his student loans and other bills. Kane, it's amazing that Joel, 49 years old, wasn't making enough money as a musician to pay off his bills. I am so totes, shocked.

49 years old. And he said he was trying to keep his student. student loans in forbearance. So he wasn't making payments, but all the interest was still just accumulating. And he goes, it was just so that I could subsist so that I could survive. Now, the men I know would have been like, wow, I'm not going to make it as a musician. So I'm going to go get an actual job and make money and pay off my debt. Because that's what a responsible citizen that shows good stewardship of his fellow man would do, right?

Why is it? sidebar, that it's, you're supposed to, you're not considered a good citizen unless you're paying off someone's bills. Why is it that the good citizen expectation doesn't extend to the people who are putting other people in debt because of their stupid choices? So Joel realized that, you know, he didn't, he loved working in music, so he decided to keep his, he didn't want to get a different job. So he did, because he, I guess works part time as like a, I don't know, violinist or a, I don't know. and he said he wanted to keep his student loan and forbearance. And so he decided that they were, when the pause ended, he was going to have to tackle his debt.

And then he got all his loan forgiven. His whole loan was all wiped out. Isn't that crazy? So great for him. So guess what? Now the relief, and this is, Lambden said the relief allows him the freedom. to not only still play his music, but also pursues some of his long-term dreams, including taking a sabbatical to study with his meditation teacher in India. So the guy who didn't go to college,

who decided to, you know, actually acquire a skill, like a plumber or a welder or whatever, and gets a job out of high school or out of trade school or out of tech school, works good money. He's paying the academic welfare of this 40-9. nine-year-old trash baby who refuses to stop pretending to be a musician and had his $250,000 student loan wiped out so he could go meditate in India. Hmm. And we're paying for it. The plumber's paying for it.

The welder's playing for it. The guy who works in landscaping's paying for it. The construction worker is paying for it. I'm paying for it. This guy's older than me and I'm paying for it. his debt. Explain that. This is so asinine. I mean, it's funny because it's so pathetic, but it's enraging too. And what gets me is that this guy has zero self-awareness to even feel shame. I think if you can't pay your debt, you don't get your degree. If you got a problem with it,

take it up with your universities endowment. They got multi-millions. In some instances, like the Ivy League, they got billions of dollars. Take it up with them. because it's not our responsibility to pay for your welfare. And that's what it is. It's academic welfare. And these people look down on people who, you know, maybe go and get food stamps and need help every now and then. These people, and you know they do, they look down on those folks.

But people like Joel, they're by his standards worse because he has no shame in his welfare. He thinks his welfare is more virtuous because it has to go with this stupid, music degree. Why was he in school for nine years? Number one, you're in nine years to study music. Maybe you're too stupid for college. He's 49 years old, graduated in 89 and he couldn't pay off his debt. You are a lazy slacker beta male. You're not a man. You make my ovaries shrivel up and scream. I can't believe any woman would sleep with you, much less procreate with you. You are literally everything that is wrong with the progressive male sex.

And on behalf of females everywhere, dear God, do not reproduce. You okay, Cain? It doesn't make you mad. Yeah, it does. Hmm. There are all kinds of, I mean, $250,000. That's a quarter million. That's a mortgage.

And then some for some people. Mm-hmm. Can I get a mortgage forgiven? No, you can't. Well. Because you don't vote the right way. That's, that's really. what it is.

It's a BS. Now, Biden's buying, now he's doing this. Think about it. He's doing this. We're like six weeks out from the election. Not six weeks.

I'm sorry. We're not, you know, a few months away from the election. But he's doing this to pay off. He's doing this to buy votes. Who do you think Joel's going to vote for? Who is 49-year-old Joel Lambden,

who had a quarter of a million dollars in debt? Because he wanted to be a musician and get to meditate in India. Who do you think he? he's going to vote for.

He's like, hello, Mr. Ghost. What in the world? Or, you know what? The alternative there is that he's doing the robot, which he could do, actually. I mean, he could do, I mean, that's, you know, be, beep, boop, boop. Yeah, that's, he had a little malfunction.

You just love it Welcome back to the program Dana Lash with you We're at the conclusion of this First Hour And it's That was his The skin suit

Could probably be a little tight It's probably what it is Yeah they got to like stretch it a little bit more And pull it, you know pin it in the back You know, cinch it You know just cinch it Just get you a belt and cinch it That's all you got to do

I don't have anything nice to say I don't Just probably have some more rage juice. I have nothing else. I just, it is, I don't know. I was looking at this tweet from the White House. I said this in a headline yesterday. There, they go, construction's officially begun on the nation's first high speed rail project. And it's all because of Biden's investments were remember the LA to San Francisco project that they were going to do? And it's like 11th, frillion dollars in the red because they they couldn't build it. In fact, the company, the French

company that was going to build it ended up leaving and they went and built it in Zaire or something like that. They just did it there in the amount of time that they were still boondoggling it up over in California. So yeah, they said they're going to have their first high speed rail project. I mean, that's the most important thing, right, is the The California high speed rail was approved all the way in 2008. It had a $33 billion budget. Now they have to have, there's no timeline. And in order to finish it, they require, I'm not even joking you.

They require $100 billion to finish it. That is an absolute thing. This is from KCRA, Channel 3. California Bullet Train Project needs another $100 billion to complete route from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Is that a type of, they meant million, right? Billion. 100 billion. San Francisco.

You know what? I will yeat you for half that. I will find a way to eat you from L.A. to San Francisco with your bags. Just fling all the way there for half that price. That sounds like a deal, don't it? I'll eat a bunch of you at a time. Fling your asses in the air all the way to San Francisco. I'll do it.

For half that. We'll do it for half the price. Look, we're saving you money. Look at that. So, yeah, it's a high-speed rail connecting Las Vegas to Los Angeles. They're so excited about it. They go, the high-speed rail takes two hours and ten minutes. Three hours by plane.

And it's literally like just a little over three hours to drive it. Good grief. Stick with us. We got more in store. I think a lot of people need to go to Hillsdale. And maybe some people who went to college just should go back, but go to Hillsdale and actually get an education. because this is what Hillsdale is focused on since their founding in 1844.

But in education contextualized by the pursuit of truth and defense of liberty, it's a small Christian classical liberal arts college in Southern Michigan. But they have all kinds of free online stuff. So you don't have to be in Southern Michigan to take advantage of it. You can just have a computer and you can have internet access. And for instance, they have this free speech digest called Imprimus. And they've been looking at in this latest issue how the American Medical Association has declared that medicine itself is so rife with white supremacy that they have to lower their standards on medical school entrance tests because to have higher standards is racist. These are people that are going to

operate on your guts. This is a terrifying thing. And it's happening in numerous other fields with equal severity. And this is the stuff that you need to be aware of.

And what would you say is the main goal with tonight's protest? I think the goal is just showing our support for Palestine and demanding that NYU stops. I honestly don't know what NYU's doing. Is there something that NYU's doing?

I really don't know. I'm pretty sure there, do you know what NYU is doing? About what? About what? Why are we protesting here? I wish I was more educated. I'm not either. I came from Columbia. I was there all about Columbia.

I'm not either. Why are we even here? Today's college kids, ladies and gentlemen, you're forgiving. You're paying for all their loans now. You're paying for all those loans. I mean, why are we burning this Wendy's? What are we doing? What happened?

What Wendy's do with the Jews? What about AutoZone? Like, what did AutoZone do? What's the river and seas? What? Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you. Top of the second hour.

I just, that's pretty much, I think, that the collective IQ of the people out there protesting. I watched an interview. Someone had confronted one of the protesters in mid-chant. And they were going, from the river to the sea. And the dude with the mic was like, okay, what do you mean from the river to the sea? And they're like, well, from like the river to the sea. Like, wait a minute. Like what river?

The river? Like where? In Palestine. There's a river in Palestine. But the sea, what sea? I don't know. Like the sea. That's there.

I'm not even joking you. It was that bad. They're like, do you know what river specifically? Is there actually a river? This is what it. It's because there are third. They're thirsty. They're seensters. I just, I have no words for it. These are people who desperately want attention. I need to, I need to figure out who I am. Let me go to this protest. I don't

know what I'm protesting. Again, it's PCU. We're not going to protest. Wait a minute. Is this like, as Kane said, like protests? Because I'm actually anti-test. I don't want to actually like come out and rally for a test. I can't do that. They're so edgy. I went to a protest and there were police there. I'm so edgy. Are you kidding me? Kane. This is the result of the government-controlled education system.

And dumb parents. Who raises these people? Which I think they're also the result of a public education system. What the hell is wrong with parents right now? What is the matter with you? How do you allow your children to go out into the world to be this stupid? It is such an indictment of you. Oh my gosh.

I can't, I just, oh. I don't know. Maybe it's just like the older I get, the more I realize that I hate everybody. I mean, no, not you guys, but we know everybody else. And people are dumb. They really are. I wish it was more educated. Like, me too.

I just didn't even know what's happening. This isn't, and they wanted to lower the voting age, by the way. I know. these universities need to start getting serious with this stuff. So like I said, Dana Lash with you. Good to be with you. At the top of this second hour. I had double check and see when it was at the top of the second hour.

And this doors, pull this up. This was, these were protesters outside of Chuck Schumer's house. I'll do somebody at 7 in Brooklyn. They were protesting Chuck Schumer last night. Check this out. Black House of them. It's just totally so interesting that they all have the same shirts and hoodies cane that say ceasefire now, which I'm sure was a completely organic thing.

I'm sure that all this huge crowd went to the same store. And we're like, oh, wow, look at that says far, now sure. I'm going to purchase that. I'm sure that happened just completely organically, didn't it? Yeah, that doesn't appear to be any organization there. Yeah, that's exactly it. And Schumer, Audio Sambade 8, was asked about the protesters that were outside of his house last night. Audio Sambate 8, listen to this.

Peter Schumer, obviously, it's Passover. Happy Passover. This evening, there were hundreds of protesters in front of your Brooklyn residents because of your support for this bill. people who were saying that they don't think there should be unconditioned aid to Israel. What's your message to those protesters tonight? And also just your response to these protests we've seen, pro-Palestiting protests on campuses like Colombia. Look, I put out a statement about Colombia.

Peaceful protest is proper and appropriate. And I've always had four goals in terms of Israel policy. One, radically reduce the presence of Hamas. You can't have peace with Hamas. Free the hostages, get as much humanitarian aid possible as done. and do everything it can to avoid civilian casualties. And your message to the protesters are left by your home. Circling back to France question.

Goodness. Goodness. Goodness. So, yeah, this is... Well, you know, we're trying to go to casualties. He dodges the question. He wasn't even going to answer it. Wasn't even going to answer it. You know, he and Nancy Pelosi have been calling for a regime change, which is a weird phrase

to use. They want Netanyahu to step down. But why have they not said, like, the leaders of Hamas or, or Fata or Palestinian Authority or anything like that. No, but they shouldn't have to step down. They caused all this. That's kind of weird. So the leader of the country that's defended itself needs to step down,

but not the leader of the entity that attacked the country. In question? Well, I mean, cut six, Nancy says we should just believe Hamas. Oh, yeah. Go ahead. Audio Sanobite 6. Let's go ahead and hear this. The overwhelming, we don't know how many people have died.

We had the Hamas. report, let's accept that it's tens of thousands. 10 would be too many, but tens of thousands. 35,000 seems to be the number at the moment. I know that's what it's said. Let's accept that it's too many, whatever it is. It's whatever Pallywood says it is, guys. Just accept it?

Just accept it. It's whatever Pallywood says it is. By the way, CNN, Red State had the piece. CNN committed more medium out practice because they were running PR for Hamas regarding bodies found at the hospital. Now remember, Hamas was trying to say that they lost more people in Gaza than all of what was lost at D-Day. I'm not kidding you. They were like the numbers they were making up were ridiculous.

And no one's ever been, I mean, because it's Hamas. Whenever you hear, well, the Gaza Health Ministry, that's Hamas. They're the government there. And so remember the whole story of the hospital that Hamas accidentally attacked its own rocket that originated in Gaza? that was targeting Israel that didn't, it crashed right by a hospital but didn't hit the hospital. It was in a parking lot. Remember that? And they were trying to say, oh my gosh, that was Israel that far out. Even though there's video showing it being launched and literally falling right down, still in Gaza. And now there was nothing when when Hamas fired a rocket at Israel and it hit an Israeli hospital.

That was in February when that happened. There was nothing, nobody said anything about, about any hospitals getting hit then. But then Hamas was like, we lost 11th trillion people in that. Oh, Israel attacked us. There wasn't our rocket. We lost 11th trillion, carpillion point cajillion people. It's how many people we lost. It's like not even as many people that are in Gaza. That's insane.

But CNN ran defense for them. I mean, they, it's crazy. Like the way they said, like, for instance, quote, Amas grave with more than 300 bodies was uncovered at a hospital in the southern Gaza City of Con Unis. Gaza civil defense worker set. Who are the Ghazan civil defense came? See, that would have to be Hamas.

Yeah, you're correct. Ding, ding, ding, that's Hamas. You don't get any prizes, but you get the joy of being correct. Thank you. So they give a, I mean, they say that they had all of these bodies that they discovered. And then apparently, like some of them had been tied up and they were buried alive before IDF even got there. That's what the sign showed, but then CNN didn't dive any deeper into that. It's just, it's bizarre.

Like, they have been running, they've been running interference. Like, they've been, they've been a point person for Hamas on this. Although these people who just take these claims, like as, you know, gospel truth, that's, their media malpractice shouldn't surprise you. But the Pallywood that they engage in is insane. And it just, that's why you can't hardly trust anything that comes out. of this this area you can't so speaking of the college protesters i know you guys heard about i saw this last night i sent a piece out about this last night uh it was called three stupid things out

alec baldwin versus crackhead sushi hunger strikes and entitled trash babies so first off trash baby isra hersey she's the daughter of the rabbit anti-israel lawmaker illin omar she goes to barnard college which is like over sixty thousand dollars a year and that's just the tuition she the college warned them If you get involved in any of this protest stuff, you could face disciplinary action if you're disrupting stuff with your protest. Well, then she got discipline. She was arrested because she was disruptively protesting. And she was suspended and booted from Bernard's campus. And she was shocked about this, which I always think these nepo babies who were born into wealth and opportunity, who cosplay as like these poverty chic revolutionaries when they want to manipulate the proletariat, they're shocked.

to discover the limitations of their own fake heart assery because, oh, I was arrested for this. Where's my? Oh, my gosh, I was kicked off my campus. I can't access my dining plan. She's begging for sympathy in Teen Vogue because she doesn't have access to her dining plan. And she's acting like they did this big, woe is me piece on her where she paints herself as a bigger victim than the actual victims of October 7th. She was like, I don't know when I can go home. I don't know if I ever been able to. I sent the compass an email like, ha, I rely on campus for my meals. I rely on my Donin plan.

And she said, after I was suspended, they said I could pick up a pre-packaged bag of food. There was no food support. No, nothing. You know who can't go home and who doesn't have food support? Like all of the people in the kibitzes who were attacked and murdered that Hamas burned down their communities and they were left homeless and like their family members are missing because they were kidnapped or raped to death.

I mean, they can't, they can't, they don't have any food support. They don't have any famous mom in Congress or any uncle dad to be able to ask, and yeah, I said, uh, for help. I mean, seriously, you absolute nepo trash baby. This is so stupid. She's 21 years old. When you are disrupting stuff on campus after you were even warned, I mean, good grief. This is, it's so goofy.

Now, they also had, you guys are going to love this. Boogie protesters engaged in a hunger strike at Yale by eating sushi. They had a sushi snack. Have you ever heard of anything busier in your entire life? They literally, anti-Israel protesters at Yale, were eating sushi. Please let it be gas station sushi. They were eating fresh sushi on Monday while they were engaged in a week-long hunger strike, the famished freedom fighters.

Yeah, they were on their six day of not eating. So stupid. Well, actually, they were. How do you, how do you, how do you participate in a hunger strike while eating sushi? And the fact that they were walking around with sushi, again, the busiest thing I've ever seen in my life.

That tells you everything that you need to know. You can't take any of this seriously. Black Rifle Coffee is veteran owned, veteran roasted. They hire veteran in active duty. They support our first responders. They support our law enforcement. But you know what?

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. 95 Express stores are set to close amid bankruptcy. I worked there in summer. Here's a summer job during college. There are 95 different express stores in more than 30 states because they filed for bankruptcy. They're based in Ohio Expressing, founded in 1980.

now they're having to compete with Zara, H&M. They filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. I got to say, Express clothes have never been bad. If I'm being honest, like, I think that they're better quality than H&M. I'm not an H&M fan. And I think that if you're going to do, like, there's certain things you don't have to. I don't believe in disposable fashion, but I do think that there's certain things that are way overpriced. Express has always been decent quality.

So, I don't just saying, so there are 95, I guess you can still buy online, but 95 stores are going to be closing the price. wild. So let's see. Apparently, this is Russian cyber attacks, hacked a Texas panhandled drinking water, and apparently flooded the town on a first ever raid by a Kremlin aligned group. They say Kremlin, they're still investigating a hacking group that's allied with the Russian government took credit for it. And they said it was in Muleshoe, a community of 5,000, that far from New Mexico border and they had thousands of gallons that overflowed for almost an hour

so they had a state of emergency declared for the town but they said that the group was a part of some allied Russian government group and I don't know I mean it could be a Sia but could be the it could be the claiming that they are I don't know you can't trust anything because everything is dumb and as I told can on

break we're already on the downside of peak humanity let's see the apparently everybody's getting butt surgery yeah they're getting their butts surgically enhanced It's a big thing. There's a whole article about it. The Brazilian butt lift.

I have one word for you that will solve all your problems and you will not have to have surgery. Do you want to know what that word is? It's called squats. Moving on. This is a stupid story. Patients are less likely to die

if treated by a female doctor according to a study. I hate everything. No, no, no, no. Everything's racist, right? So you've got to just lower the standards. Just let everybody in. It's ignorant that we even require any kind of standards to get it. You know, just give everybody a medical license.

Everybody can operate on guts. Squirrels are causing hazards on runways and in the airspace at Bay Area airports. The tree rats are causing lots of problems. They're making unsafe airfield conditions. And amongst the safety concerns, they said, they impact pavement, signage, and lighting. And they're attracting birds of prey. to invade the airspace.

I don't care. I really don't care. It's San Francisco. I don't care what it happens there. I just really don't care. There's a new color-coded heat risk tool added. Magenta. So if it's like super hot, it goes to magenta now.

Four more year. Pause. He actually read the teleprompter. End of quote, repeat. Exit stage. Pause. Oh my gosh. He's, um,

Who am I thinking of? Anchorman. Oh, yeah. Don't. Don't put anything on me. Ron Burgundy, he'll read anything you put in the prompter. Don't put it there.

How many times I got to tell you this? Jeez. Welcome back to the program. Dan Alash with you. Gosh, pause. And then everyone, were they queued? Oh, without a doubt. They jumped, can I hear it one more time?

Because it's like they jumped in, like, it was weird. Listen. Imagine what we can do next. Four more years. Pause. Four more years. Four more year.

Oh, pause. Oh, he just realized. Shouldn't have read that. Oh. Pause. I mean, that's a beautiful moment right there. It should be in a museum. There's a certain amount of like ankle grabbing when you're yelling for four more years of Joe Biden.

A certain amount of ankle grabbing? I think 100% a month. No, that's doing the human pretzel. That's not ankle grabbing. grabbing. That's like contorting yourself, like in some Cirque de Soleil kind of thing. That's what that is. That goes beyond. That's talking about putting your elbows in between your own legs and bend. That's, that's what that is. I just don't know how he can just seal clap something like that with a straight face. It's just unbelievable to me. But all right. Meanwhile, thanks to Biden, now Amazon's doing a, they got a delivery, a new grocery delivery program for SNAP recipients. It's a program that they're going to make a, available. It's $4.99 a month for SNAP recipients. I'm not making this. Can I just, we've got to, oh my gosh.

Are you serious? I just share it with you the store. I shared the story with you. It's right in there, right in there and there. Right there. Is government welfare supposed to be spent on delivery fees? Yeah, I don't know if it's like, if you can use part of your, I, first off, I don't think you Do you have to be a prime member to do the snap thing? Because it says

it's open to prime members and recipients of the supplement the stamp stuff $10 a month. Prime can do unlimited grocery deliveries on orders $35 or more from Whole Foods. So that's like what an onion? Amazon Fresh, various local grocery retailers. And then you can do it. Snap recipients can do it.

I guess just for four. Okay. So it's just for $4.99. a month. Or how many deliveries a month? Just one? I guess Unlimited. I don't know. It doesn't actually tell that. They apparently Target and Walmart have a similar thing. And they're doing it, and they launched it in Sacramento late last year. And they're doing it in Columbus and Denver. Is I guess where they're kicking it off at now. So, okay. So I, you may, you, you may, you You remember the narrative of the food deserts and, you know, how in some areas, that's absolutely true, like in some cities.

And can I just interrupt you? So hold your train of thought. Pause. Pause. You're trying to thought. It's not because grocers are racist. It's because it doesn't make sense for them to open a grocery store in an area that doesn't have either, that doesn't, can't support it. Right.

That's like the whole. And I say this is somebody who lived in downtown St. Louis. Or if it gets, you know, riddled with crime for, for. an example. Some businesses don't want to be there because of that. Wow, imagine that. But so imagine, I guess this is their response to eliminating food deserts, then if you can just have it delivered to, you know, where you are, then there is no such thing as a food desert at that point, right? Yeah, but where does that say we are that now you can get your snap deliveries on Amazon, right? Everything's about these micro-transactions. Everybody's doing these little things,

Like you do a little service fee here and this little delivery fee there and this tip there. And the next thing you know, you're $100 into a sandwich that got delivered. Oh my gosh. That is true. That is true. I don't do, like I'll do Instacart every now and then. Amazon Fresh, I think they give you bad stuff. I'm not a fan of it.

No. I definitely will not do produce on Amazon Fresh. I literally just will forego it. If that's the only way I could get it. If I can't get to it, because not every time. I can't always get to the store. all the time because of I work a lot. And then a lot of times I like to plan stuff in advance. And sometimes I'll have a grocery delivery. Also, I, and I'm just going to say it, when I go to the

store, I, and moms out there or dads, a parent out there understands this, especially if you work crazy hours. It's kind of like a treat to go to the store, even if you're not buying anything because you're out and you're just looking at stuff. Is that, is that, is that, Weird to say that. Now, in my house, when I grew up, first it was just my mom for a while, and then my mom and my stepdad, and my stepdad controlled two things. And we didn't question it. The thermostat and the grocery list. He handled the grocery shopping because my stepdad believes that women are incapable of going to the grocery store and getting stuff on the list. And he's not wrong, right? He is not wrong. And he has a meticulous grocery list. He is a, if you think that you coupon, you do not coupon as hard as Paw Paw Coupons.

No one coupons harder than Pawpaw. He will put you to shame. In fact, he hated the idea of the smartphone until we're like, but there's coupon apps on there. And then he was like, what? And then when he found out you could get a smart thermostat and can control that on your phone, I know. What? It was, he was a whole new world for him.

Now, yeah, he went from the cricket or the jitterbug to that. The little jitterbug funny went from that to that. So he has like a meticulous and just like a meticulous grocery list. And you got to have a coupon. It was, you had to basically make a proposal to put something on the grocery list. list that was not normally on the grocery list. Like you had to go. If he couldn't find the coupon for it, it was up to you.

You had to get the coupon and prepare a presentation as to why you felt this item should be on the grocery list. And he added in a section. If you put something on the grocery list in the wrong section, it struck. It doesn't get got. So he would start in the order. He had the store all mapped out. And he would get mad when they'd change it.

He had the store all mapped out. So like if you're looking at the piece of paper and it's facing you where you're not looking at it from the screen. If you're looking at the piece of paper on the left side of the piece of paper, my left, it'd be your left, is my right. He would have, he would start with the produce. Like you go in and you hit the produce and then you hit, you know, like the meat and then you get into the dairy and then you start getting into the dry goods before hitting the freezer section last. And that was very important because the freezer section, you don't want freezer section food sitting in your car. car for forever, right? And you had to put it in the appropriate spot on a blank piece of paper. You just had to know where the sections were. And if you put, like, if you put a dry good

in the produce section, struck, it's not getting got. He was very serious about that. And so, I just, like with all of this, I mean, this whole thing is just, it's just so bizarre to me. I, um, I don't know. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I was my train of thought. I got so into his like list with that. I had started having like nom level flashbacks of putting wrong things on the list. And if you gave him an expired coupon, you are persona non grata with him. But that's, I mean, that's how he did everything.

He like, he couponed everything. And I don't know. You know, I remember my grandma having a talent on double coupon day. Remember when they would do double coupon days? No, but he does. You would take a coupon. that was 50 cents off, and sometimes the item was only like a dollar to start with.

And you could end up with like a bunch of free stuff. I never understood it. But I loved going into the grocery store and just because I'd get distracted. Man, Costco, you'd get like a big fountain drink and you just walk around Costco. And there's so many things to look at. They have so many like interesting products in the store. Especially now, you're like, wow, look at those. Look at that.

Look at this. That's me. Look at this. Look at this. Look at this. Look at that. So I would like order stuff online. because I hate normally I don't like shopping but I like looking at food stuff.

Otherwise I hate going to the store as Kane and everybody knows. Like if you see me in a black t-shirts, probably I probably got it off Amazon and it was probably part of a four-pack. Not even kidding you. I keep it pretty fancy. It's easy. But I love going into the grocery store and looking at the food stuff, like especially the cheese section. But my stepdad thinks that's insane. And then when I was telling them with the food delivery stuff, I'm like, look, you can just

just immediately go with what you want. And sometimes you can apply the coupon, like right here. And then he's like, he'll do like a whole spreadsheet breakdown of the delivery fee, et cetera. And he'll be like, I can save $2.83 if I just go there myself. Like, but that's your time. An hour of your time spent getting this stuff. Penny save is a penny earned? I just, you know, I don't even argue with him.

I'm like, okay. I just am not even going to argue with him about it. That's, but those are the two things that he controlled. I did not learn a single thing except I just, if I see a coupon, I'm like, yeah, I'll do it. But I just try to stick to like the stuff that's required. But man, the, I agree with you though. A lot of the, I get it if some people are in a tight spot, you know, and they need to get. They, you know, food deliver.

I get it. Like, especially if we, it's the holidays and we have people stay at the house. And I can't always like, you know, get away. It's super helpful then. But a lot of times that Amazon fresh stuff, there's, their produce is just, just rank, man. It's not good. And I just, I cannot deal with whole foods or the central market. I can't stand going into either of those places.

rather chew my own arm off in the parking lot next to a coexist sticker. I can't, I cannot stand. It's like a third world country. And everyone's a jackass when you go into these stores. Why is that? Like the meanest people are at these stores. You always get some like boozy lady with the acrylic nails who's in the produce. Like she actually knows what she's looking at. Shut up. Like just get out the way. I just need a young coconut for meringue. Get out my way. Golly. Every now and then I have to go in there because I need one item and it's only something that they got. And it's usually for a baking thing or a sauce.

It's one thing I gotta get and I'm not gonna have it deliver because it's dumb. But I gotta go in there and I just sit out sit outside the store because you know they're all progressives and you gotta go in there and every, I mean it's just I can't deal. I can't deal with it. I try to limit my visits there to like once or twice a year.

I'm with you though. I have bad luck with Amazon Fresh. like every time I order something from Amazon Fresh half of the order is bad or rotten like apples not too long ago and it came back like half the bag was rotten I don't like it's like they put the oldest stuff in there I literally will skip Amazon Fresh every time

I will not I will not do Amazon Fresh it's horrible I'd rather again I'd rather literally walk into a Whole Foods I know right can I have one more thing can I have one more observation on this before we move I had to lighten it up a little bit do you whenever I go into those stories

I swear to you, I'm always by the person, because I don't, I'm sorry, I don't bring bags into the store. What? I don't do that. I'm not there. I don't sit here and have my little hemp bags. I mean, going to the store with my hemp bag. And then I, I, have you seen the people like they virtue signal because they go, oh, paper or plastic? I have my own bags.

And then it's a big deal. And then they look around like they get a citizenship award because they brought their own stupid bags to the store. I cannot do it. with this. I remember having to go to Aldi's. You had to bring your bags or buy them. Yeah. You went to Aldi's.

You had to bring your own bag. Yeah. Or Aldi's like carry all that stuff out in your arms full. In the box. In the empty box that you found on the shelf. That's exactly what I do. But you know what I mean? Like Whole Foods Central Market.

They do this. And they, no, I have my own bags. And now they just use paper. But plastic bags, I like, I will reuse my plastic bags for stuff just because I don't know I do I don't not because I'm trying to be a good person I don't care but whenever I'm like I'll take plastic does anyone else notice it's like the world stops everything stops the whole store shuts down and someone's like who hates planet earth over here is it you did you ask for the plastic bags you just hate the planet just want to rape the planet

don't you golly yeah I just I will not I'd rather I will literally carry it out I'll put it my put stuff on my pockets and carry it in my arms before I bring my own back. Not going to happen. I can't. I draw a line, guys. I draw the line. Our partners who help bring you free radio, the folks over at Caltech, you've heard me talk for months now about the Caltech sub 2K. Nothing's changed. It's still, they came out with it earlier this year. And it's been shipping. And so the sub 2K, a 9mm carbine, it folds in half. It's great when space is limited. And it's just a very innovative. The whole, the way it's designed is incredibly innovative. And I like the, the previous iterations, and I have the Gen 2, now the Gen 3 that they have. You don't have

to detach your optics anymore to fold it in half, which is nice. The whole thing, that twist and turn rotating 4-end, it's patent pending, it just quickly and easily folds it half. Also can just as quickly and easily deploy it as well. And some of the other upgrades that they made to it include they have the trigger redesign mechanics. You've got a lighten. five-pound pool so that translates into improved accuracy. The action's been updated. The operating handles is super, it's easier to pull back. You have an internal buffer that means softer felt recoil. There's just a lot of really cool stuff that they've improved on this. And so if you haven't seen the Gen 3 sub 2K, it reads the Sub-2000 on the website, you got to go check it out.

It's from Keltech, Family owned and operated, Made in America, Florida-based, and all their stuff, super innovative. And I mean, this sub 2K is one of the cooler things that they make. You got to check it out. To learn more about it, visit celtuckweapons.com. K-E-L-T-E-C-Weapons.com. Tell them Dana sent you. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. So Florida Man saved his neighbor from the jaws of an 11-foot gator by hitting it with his car. Collier County.

A Florida man narrowly escaped a potentially deadly encounter with an 11-foot gator on Friday. NBC affiliate WBBH reported that Florida man Rick Fingerett was walking his two Labradors near a pond, and he was attacked by this gator. He said he tried to fight it off by kicking it and poking it in the eyes and nose, but Walt Rutter happened to be driving by, and he saw the man trapped on the ground with his legs inside a gator's mouth. Just sidebar for a minute. Can you imagine you're just driving home? and you see a gator eat a dude in the road.

Can you just imagine that? Like, what in the world? So, and that's what he said. Rutter said, quote, I was driving and saw a man laying on the ground, pulled over, got out of the car, and saw the gator heading by the leg. So Rutter did what any smart dude would do. He ran right over the gator. Now, Fingert survived the attack, but he's like, I don't know what I would have done had

Walt not ran this gator over. That's pretty amazing. And also, did it kill the gator? Like, I can admit it let him go. let the dude go so clearly it felt the pressure man so uh pickles and vikidon yeah that's the next uh florida man's pickle jar dispute led to a vikidin bust according to deputies of course so this florida man was arrested after a physical attack led to the discovery of a drug possession according to sumter county police david simony thirty four was arrested in charge with resisting an officer battery drug possession

after the incident that unfolded on Thursday, he pushed a dude up a wall after a verbal argument and told he wasn't welcome at his apartment and then I love how they just introduced the pickle jar halfway through. Somebody said he went to collect his pickle jar but the guy told him to leave the house.

So then he was ultimately placed under arrest he refused to identify. So did he go for the pickle jar? What the hell is in the pickle jar? Who wrote this story? It's an AOL.L.com story written by like a barely literate person. Anyway, $4,000 bond.

I just want to know what was the pickle jar. Was it pickles? Was there dope in it? Was there Vicodin in the pickles? No, it just said they ended up finding Vicodin. But it wasn't, he's like it. They didn't say it was in the pickle jar at all. There was a small container of Vicodan in the guy's pocket.

Florida man also wrote the story. Apparently. Good night. I mean, that's kind of wild. And a Florida man ran from deputies inside Walmart after he decided to expose himself. We'll save that. We'll save that. winner for you tomorrow.

Second or third hour actually on the way. Stick with us. They had a die-in in Tennessee yesterday and their state capital lawmakers were protesting the bill that passed the legislature heads to the governor's desk. Governor Bill Lee, a Republican,

68 to 28 in favor. And it's a bill that would allow teachers who choose to carry and undergo the training to carry to carry in school. And this comes after the trans terror attack at a private elementary school in Nashville last year. Welcome to the program, Dana Lash with you, top of this third hour. And that's, they passed it and it's going to get, uh, it'll be signed by Republican Governor Bill Lee. Uh, I don't see why it wouldn't be, but it's going to be, it's, their teachers would be able to carry.

And it said that, and it would only allow, again, some teachers and staff. There are, you know, there's a caveat there. I mean, you have to, A, want to carry. It's not just going to be for anybody who wants to, anybody, for everybody to carry. You have to want to carry. And then additionally, you have to undergo certain training. You have to meet certain training requirements to carry. And I was actually looking over the text of the bill.

So there's our, I mean, there are some prerequisites in there. And if, and, because you don't want anyone who doesn't want to carry to carry. And so that's, and beyond the police and administrators, they said that they're going to, they, I think it's for the safety of everybody to, to, you know, not, not make it public as to who's carrying and who isn't carrying. And so, so they, it was, in the Senate, it was a 26 to five party line vote. And it's going to go to Governor Lee's desk. But there were protesters. They were ordered to leave the Senate galleries. They were, they had the moms demand, the astro-turfed group. that was there. And the, I mean, I can't tell you how many teachers I've heard from across the country that are like, yeah, we would like to be able to carry. They, they, if they had the, if they had the choice and the, and the, uh, to carry, they would. And the people that I know are very well trained. Um, most, you know, everybody who carries usually is because you realize the legal weight of it. But, you know, in my kids school, there were teachers who,

were able to carry. And they had to do the same thing. They have to have, obviously, I have to have permission to the school, but they underwent training and they, they were only teachers who wanted to carry. And then in addition to that, we know, school security too. But a lot of this comes from the inability for security officers to be everywhere at once. So like in Parkland, when you leave doors unlocked and gates unlocked and anybody can walk in and you've had warnings about a very dangerous individual for months, there was only one security guard, apparently for three campuses

or three buildings on the campus. That's a lot of ground to cover for one person. They can't be everywhere all at once, and that's why it's important to have those force multipliers, like the lock door, etc. But even then, you also want to have, as your last option, a teacher to be able to protect themselves

and their students. And there are teachers who do want that. The teachers who don't, they don't have to. And I don't know how many, you know, the trans terror attack in Nashville that they try to make, they try to victimize Christians further by blaming the victims for being Christian as to why the trans terrorists decided to mow them down, which was insane. But there's never been, for all the fearmongering about this, there's never been, they don't have, I mean, there's never been any incident from it. And that's, that's what it is. It's this fear mongering from these anti-gun groups. I mean, some of the lawmakers were like, oh, it's one of the most dangerous pieces, et cetera, et cetera. You're not making a teacher law enforcement either. And this is the other, this is such a stupid argument that I hear from people who say, well, you know, they're supposed to be their teaching the kids reading and writing on arithmetic. They're not supposed to be their acting as law enforcement.

Do you not understand the concept of Second Amendment? Are you somehow a professional speaker by exercising your free speech rights and you're also being a teacher? do you understand this natural rights are just who you are and it's what you live with and it's part of your day-to-day life like carrying it's not an extra task that you perform so stop trying to compartmentalize it and and which also by the way undermines the natural right ironically stop compartmentalizing it it's it's people want to be able to protect themselves if you are in if you're engaged in the free practice of religion are you a priest are you a bishop are you pastor? Are you just someone who wants to exercise their religion? I think it's so ridiculous that

people try to try to undermine the exercise of natural rights by acting as by compartmentalizing it and acting as that, well, I guess you've got to be law enforcement then. A lot of these people, no offense, are trained better than law enforcement. And I say that because remember, Parkland, their deputies, their sheriff did not. And the deputies were saying this during the Stoneman Douglas Commission during the hearings. They weren't kept up with response to mass casualty situations. So good on Tennessee for doing this. Good on Tennessee. And those lawmakers that laid in the floor to do a dying, what is the point of a dying? That's so dumb. You're laying in the floor. Stop it. Why don't you do a live-in and show the amount of lives saved every year from

lawful use of firearms? I mean, if you're going to have the conversation, then go all the way and have the conversation. All right. So this is a goofy story. I can't believe that somebody actually. I saw this headline yesterday. So in Australia, it's the Curtin University Sustainability Policy Institute in Australia. Research teams combed through 27 different reports, drawing conclusions about ways to curb methane emissions in dairy and beef sectors. So now they want to breed cows that fart less to curb global warming. That's literally what they deduced. they published this in the journal climate this month and they said they want to breed less farty cows.

I'm not even joking. And apparently this also, this is in the bit piece also, researchers apparently also previously attempted to potty train cattle, Kainstein, to curb the effects of cow urine that contains ammonia, which then when, with soil becomes gas, gas nitrous oxide. So they were training in 2021, a team of scientists. Scientists trained dairy cows to use a special pin called, I'm not making this up, hands to sky, the mulu to do their business, encouraging them to urinate on astro turf without harming the environment. If the cattle used mulu, they were rewarded with sugar water. If they were relieved, if they relieved themselves outside, they were sprayed with water for three seconds. It said that 11 of the 16 cattle learned to use the Mulu and, you know, the others just didn't care.

And the researcher literally said, quote, this is how some people train their children. They reward them if they do this correctly and they don't if they do not. So you're comparing training cows to training kids. Okay. I got an idea. Why don't we just eat more beef? Sounds like a good idea. Eat more beef.

But who thought giving cows a reward that they would never eat in nature? Like, you think cows just going around eating sugar? No, they're not. So you're going to reward cows with something they wouldn't get in nature because they'd pee on something that they would never pee on in nature. Is this what we're doing? And what is having all that sugar water do to like their milk and... Yeah.

I mean, if it's dairy cows, you've got to think of that. it doesn't sound particularly healthy. What are they doing? Well, these are stupid people, Kane. This is, I love the climate and the, the hemp wearing, tofu eating, tree hug and nut chomping people that come up with this stuff. They're the best, aren't they?

But let's just say, for example, somehow they were able to breed non-farty cows, and then we look at the environment, it wouldn't move the needle at all, unless they're able to actually stop volcanoes and stuff like that, that's where the needle would be moving. Yeah, the volcanoes put, there was a study that the amount of, what is it, carbon dioxide they emit into the atmosphere during explosions, is like enough for multiple generations.

Which, by the way, carbon dioxide, the number one thing plants crave. Yeah, they do love it, the plants crave carbon dioxide. And people are choosing Brondo. Right. What plants crave. for the electrolytes, as you know. Yeah, that's what it is. Yeah, yeah. So that's, yeah, the, maybe they can learn how to train the

volcanoes. They should go down there in the crater and see. Volcano loo. They should all go down there in the crater and see it. So, uh, the prime minister of Papua New Guinea has decided to, well, he had a checkmate moment here with Joe Biden. The prime minister of Papua New Guinea, James Maripi, blasted the, the president of the president saying that the island did not deserve to be called cannibals. And then he said that maybe they need to come and get some of their, he goes, the remains of World War II lie scattered all over Papua New Guinea, including the plane that carried his uncle. He says, you know, our people live daily with the fear of being killed by detonated bombs of World War II. So he goes, why don't

they come and clean it up? Oh, oh. Good job, Biden. You made the country mad because you said they were all cannibals. By the way, how is that not racist? If Trump had gone out there, remember, Trump was talking about actual criminals coming over the border and saying that, yeah, they're not sending us their best. And everyone's like, racism. Joe Biden literally labels an entire island where what's their phrase, people of color live. And he calls them all cannibals. That's okay. Are you serious? Because that actually sounds racist. I just got to say, because he inferred the whole, I mean, that just sounds racist.

Based on the amount of anger that comes from just misgendering somebody. Yeah. What is this? I don't know. I don't know. I just find this kind of amazing. But now, so you get the prime minister, they're mad. Joe Biden out there, improving relations.

throughout the world. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. So nobody's selling books anymore. There was this very interesting report that came out. It had to do with this trial that took place two years ago. Penguin Random House wanted to buy Simon & Schuster, and they had an opposition.

It was a $2.2 billion purchase, and there was opposition to it because they were condensing the big five publishing houses into four. And so the government intervened. an antitrust case. Anyway, there was this report. All of these people got up, all of these publishing titans got up, and they were talking about how bestsellers are rare, and nobody buys books anymore. Nobody actually buys books anymore. They're saying that, I mean, ultimately, it's very rare to even move like a thousand units. That's crazy. It's just digital or people's attention spans. I don't know.

It's wild. Also, let's see. Nope, I don't want to do this one. We're not even touching that. I'm not even going to touch it. Not touching that one. A Swiss air jet almost collided with four other planes in a near catastrophic accident on the JFK runway. It was, this is wild. It was a jet with Swiss air. It almost hit four other planes. It was a communications error that put them all on the runway at the same time.

It was bound for Zurich. It had been cleared for takeoff. It began rushing down the runway, but they had to hit the brakes because apparently air traffic control also cleared the path for four other planes, according to ABC 7. And there was audio that captured it, and it said heavy rejecting takeoff, traffic on the runway is what the pilot had said. Thankfully, Swiss Air, they had a really quick-thinking pilot

and the crew, and they said that they quickly de-escalated it. The FAA is investigating. The agency didn't respond, but that's wild. So, like, they were going to cross. I mean, that is so dangerous. Can you imagine? Thank heavens they were quick thinking on that, all of that stuff.

Let's see. The Topeka Zoo ostrich is dead because it grabbed and swallowed a staff member's key. That's really sad. That is so sad. Oh my gosh. So this

poor ostrich somehow got a hold of, I mean, it saw somebody had keys. It was shiny. It made noise. And so they grabbed it. The ostrich grabbed, it, consumed it. It's a five-year-old female ostrich named Karen. It had lived there. since March of last year

and it was in the giraffe and friends exhibit and they didn't make the staff members name public. It makes me think that they're not supposed to have objects like that near the ostriches. These are quick and curious. So that's a little sad a little sad story. Let's see also an ambulance ran over a police officer

and a woman while responding to a medical distress call. This was in Edmonton. The ambulance that was called to assist the woman in distress struck both the woman who called the ambulance to assist her in distress and the police officer that was helping her. They came across a woman in a parking lot in medical distress.

They were providing first aid. They called EMS. When the police arrived, it legit ran right over the woman and the officer. Like, how did they show up? Just barreling into the parking lot. They took both of them to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries by another ambulance. So apparently they were investigating how that happened. Good grief.

They've called, the recalled, C. Cat robots in Japan, Sega toys. They said there's a burning smell, and apparently also they're Satanic. I'm kidding about the last part. They said that the robot cats smell like burning. Like burning cats are just like a burning electronics. I feel like there's... But they said, no, there's the recall.

And it's... I mean, they just released these things in February. And so they said that, yeah, it's... It's tough to get a real cat. I don't know if you've seen the video of these. They're really weird. Have you seen the video for it? I have.

It's a robot cat. It's a cat that's a robot. And it's... And apparently some of the fur burns, too. Like, they said that some of the... There's jokes in there somewhere. Let me read this to you. The cat robots were marketed as replacements,

and users are shown cuddling the machines, caressing their faces, and speaking to them while their black-lit blue eyes glow. That's terrifying. Stay with us. Ready to grow your intellectual RolidX?

At the Oklahoma City Airport this morning was not the way Valerie Watson thought her Turks and Kako's vacation would end. Just getting to hold them again.

It just filled my mom a heart. She's home, but her husband and father of two, Ryan, is in jail on the islands, facing a potential mandatory minimum sentence of 12 years behind bars. Over four rounds of hunting ammo, airport security, found in his carry-on bag, as the couple was set to leave Turks and Caicos earlier this month. We were trying to pack more shorts and flip-flops. You know, packing ammunition was not at all our intent. We spoke with the Watson's Sunday before they learned Valerie would not be charged,

and be allowed to return home. This went from what was supposed to be a dream vacation to a nightmare. Brian Hedge from Pennsylvania is awaiting trial after ammo was found in his checked bag in February. Subsequently spent eight nights in their local jail, some of the darkest, hardest times of my life, quite frankly. Possessing a gun or ammunition is prohibited in Turks and Caicos. So I don't know a little bit about Turks and Caicos. We used to go there quite frequently and actually was there over spring break as well. welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you, bottom of this third hour. So here's the

situation. So it's this family. They went to celebrate somebody's 40th birthday party. And they were both detained for a while. The mom was allowed to come back. The dad faces 12 years in prison for having a little bit of hunting ammunition in his carry-on bag because apparently it was a bag. He went deer hunting. And I guess he took his bag for deer hunting on an international trip, which that there's a lot. There's a lot to unpack here. First off, this isn't a second amendment issue because this is a foreign country and they have their own laws. That's number one. Number two, Turks and Kekos, their government is weird. They locked down. I don't know if you remember this. Their whole island locked down during the pandemic. And we didn't go for a long

time because they demanded that you have every single shot you could get. Not just like one vaccine shot, one government injection that was falsely advertised as a vaccine, not just one shot, but they wanted you to get every booster, everything, and you had to download. It was one of the more strict, it was one of the stricter governments, I think, with a lot of the stuff, with regards to the pandemic and the shot and all of that. And you had to have like all of it to even visit. And you couldn't go unless you could prove that you had every booster, every injection. And you had to download their government app and all this stuff. So we didn't go for a number of years. and they, I mean, it's a very corrupt government, and we hear that from the people there.

They are dealing with a crazy immigrant. They're dealing with a lot of crime and illegally possessed guns right now because you got Haitians that are illegally immigrating, and they are now outnumbering the actual indigenous population. So they're dealing with a lot of stuff. And I mean, I don't know. I don't know what their government is doing. That said, one of the reasons why. I would never do like just a house there.

I always would stay at either like a hotel or a resort is because I can't even take a blade there. I mean, they're very strict on what you can have. And if it doesn't have like, you know, the security system and all this stuff. I mean, I got to have a way to defend myself. Like you can't even, they're really strict on what you can have and what you can even use. And so you got to know that stuff when you're going to a. foreign country because they don't have the same laws that we have here in the United States. Now, I think that there are, you know, people just make mistakes sometimes. They mess up and it's an

accident. I don't think the guy went there to run four rounds of ammunition for crying out loud. However, you have to anticipate that not every country, that they're probably, I mean, not every country is going to be nice to you and that they may have a jack wagon government that is going to ignore the difference between some doing something accidentally and doing something on purpose. That being said, never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever take my range bag or any bag that I used for a hunting trip or to go and run drills or anything. I never take that stuff on a flight because I have all kinds. I mean, I have like mags. I mean, you have sometimes rounds get loose. You got a few rounds in there. If you, you know, have a box in there, whatever. It happens.

from time to time. And I never want to run that risk of, oh, my gosh, I have, you know, I just, because I don't want to deal with the hassle because they don't have the same laws that we do, right? These other countries don't have that clearly. So I think that's, that's, you know, it's, is it a a crazy mistake? No, but it's a mistake. You just never do that. This is a government issue and that our government is going to have to get involved in. So hopefully their, you know, their representatives, their senator can get involved in this and, you know, maybe to talk to their government because we have a relationship with Turks and Kekos, talk to their government, and, you know, figure this out because, I mean, clearly it was, you know, an accident. And I think that they got bigger problems

to worry about in Turks and Kekos with all of the illegal Haitian immigrants that are coming in that are killing their indigenous residents with illegally possessed firearms in drug deals and all of that. It's like clearly you got a lot more to worry about than this dude who brought in four rounds. But again, it's their government. I mean, that's one of the things you got to think about. I wouldn't go there and stay anywhere that did not have security. And I've been going to Turks and Kikos for years. I would not go and stay anywhere that did not have security in Turks and K. I would not just like do an Airbnb. I would not do that there. I would not do just like rent a house that had no secure. I would not do that because their crime has exploded because of the illegal,

the illegal Haitian immigrants coming in. And that's, I mean, that's what I heard nonstop. Well, I've been watching their crime rate. You know, I always look into wherever we go. But also, I can't tell you the number of people, because we know people there, I haven't gone there for so many years. You know, you get to know people who, you know, who were born and raised there. And that's all we heard from everybody was. It's getting bad. It's getting bad. It's getting bad. It's getting bad. Like, there was not a single person that we talked to that did not have someone that they knew or in their family who wasn't victimized by an illegal immigrant from Haiti. That's how bad it is. And they said that it's very rare anymore when tourists come in, especially if they haven't, you know, come in years before.

They don't really meet a lot of like people who are indigenously from TCI, from Turks and Kekos Islands. it's all like they all meet Haitians. And they said like, you know, only, really only a small number of them have actually come here legally. It's crazy. So I think, you know, this guy, 12 years in prison for four, was it four rounds? That's something that our government's going to have to deal with. I mean, clearly, I understand that they're, I don't know if they're trying to make an example out of this guy. If you're going to make an example out of somebody, why don't you make an example out of the illegal immigrants from Haiti that killed three.

people just two months ago in a drug deal gone wrong. Why don't you make an example out of those guys? I mean, because one of them was taken into custody. Make an example out of him because clearly they smuggled in all kinds of ammunition. They smuggled in guns, everything else. And they're out there rain in hell on, you know, peaceful people who just want to work and they have their industry's tourism and they just want to make a living for themselves and their families. Maybe make an example out of those illegal immigrants that are coming in from Haiti instead of this dude. who had four rounds. Again, that's something that the government's going to have to get involved in.

This is not too. This is not, because I had people reach out to me and ask, oh, this is the Second Amendment. It's not a Second Amendment issue. Dexter Taylor is a Second Amendment issue. This is not. So there's a difference there. So I hope that that can be, you know, that problem can be resolved. I hope it can be resolved because 12 years in prison, that's crazy for four rounds like that.

Their laws are strict when they choose to enforce them. but, you know, this is one of the, one of the things that, you know, you've got to realize when you're traveling internationally that this is, you know, you got to be aware of the laws of that country and you, you know, never take your range bag, never take your hunting bag and use it as your travel bag when you're going overseas. Just by, just to make it easy on yourself, bags, you, you don't have to get an expensive duffel bag or suitcase. You just, if you can go to TCI, you can get another bag. You don't, do not take your hunting bag. just don't do it because you never are you're never sure as to whether or not you maybe you got a loose round maybe you got an empty extra mag in there because a lot of the range bags have all these different pockets and everything else i mean my gosh you'll find i mine are loaded with empty mags full mags boxes of ammo all kinds of stuff so yeah you and you never know if you've cleared it all out and you just got to be careful with this stuff right so i you know i feel bad for the family because i don't they didn't do this on purpose so hopefully someone and their government can enter someone in our government their elected officials can intervene and get involved in this. So in addition to this, I was looking at some of the other stories where these college protests have been expanding. So Harvard now, they've been, they've taken over, I guess, the quad at Harvard. That's something that took place like yesterday evening. And again, all the same tense.

Just saying. And I saw some of the ceasefire now hoodies. Just saying it's very interesting that they have all the same merch and all the same resources. And, you know, that's a bummer. That they, you know, it's just, they all happen to show up wearing the same thing. That's so inconvenient, isn't it? I mean, I guess except when you're protesting, it's not, it's not inconvenient. Coincidence.

Yeah, it's not a coincidence. Or maybe, I don't know. That's just crazy. This is just crazy. I hope all of these people who are disrupting these colleges, first off, they created their own situation. They made their bed, now they got to lie in it. But I also feel bad for the people dumb enough to pay that much to go to these universities now.

What if this was like your last year? A lot of them, they're having to cancel or postpone their commencement ceremonies because of this stuff. Isn't Harvard like over $70,000 a year, something like that? Jeez. Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts, because knowledge is your ultimate superpower. Just in relation to what's been going on in the Congress recently, you know, Republicans were sent there, and the number one issue that our voters wanted them to address is the southern border and the massive influx of foreigners by the millions coming into this country,

and we don't know who these people are. and they basically just surrendered on the border. They now have no leverage to do anything on the border. They had an opportunity to insist that Biden accept the border if he wanted all the forward aid and they decided to capitulate. And so he got everything he wants and Republican voters did not get anything. Well, that's true. I mean, DeSantis is absolutely right with that.

I mean, they didn't get anything. There was nothing. There's nothing good that we got out of this. Nothing. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash here with you. And of course, I had some of this. I was looking at, forgive me, I was pulling up, I was looking at the prep email that I sent out to everybody this morning. If you're a subscriber over at chapter and verse, you've got that. Because that was, I mean, there, I don't know, they got to get it together. And Johnson demanding that Massey removed this video of these lawmakers waving these Ukrainian flags, they were trying to say, oh, it's going to they're going to have to find him find him for this 500 dollars a day or five was it five hundred dollars a day or a week i think it's a day yeah if he doesn't remove it and that's

assinine i mean then you shouldn't you're you're trying that's not it's not a good look for house republicans to do this it's not a good look so they're not going to find democrats for waving the flags they're going to find massy unless he removes his video of democrats waving the flags. There is an update to that story. What is he update? And Speaker Johnson put it on his Speaker Johnson X account that after talking to the sergeant of arms,

they've removed the idea of finding Thomas Massey. And I don't think it's because... They shouldn't even been out there in the first place. Exactly. I don't think it's because they just were like, oh, we looked at this further and we just decided, no. They got a bunch of backlash and that's why they reversed the decision. Yeah, they did.

And they should. They should get a ton of backlash. They should get a ton of backlash for this. And all the people that decided to do all of this speaker musical chairs at the worst possible time should also get backlash. I mean, that's good grief. It's interesting too because, and Massey had noted this, Johnson is always using the excuse that, you know, with such a close majority, you can't get everything that you want with this legislation, conservative legislation in the House. but the problem was that Johnson was the determining vote and the FISA surveillance bill. Yeah, you sure is hell can't when you got the Speaker of the House who's a Republican voting against Republicans and being the deciding vote on the surveillance bill. Yeah, that's for sure.

But yeah, go ahead and think that you'll get somebody more conservative right now. I don't like Johnson a speaker. But literally you will get Hakeem Jeffries next. that's what will happen. So not the time to be doing this stuff at all. It's unfortunate, but that's what we're left with. That's why these down-ticket races are so incredibly important. But unfortunately, I don't know.

I don't know if the RNC is taking it seriously or not. I don't even know if a lot of these states individually are taking it seriously or not. We're going to talk about some of that next or tomorrow. We're going to get into some of the 2024 stuff tomorrow and some of the battleground. It's, I mean, it's a statistical dead heat in some of these battleground states. And it shouldn't be because Biden is so damn bad. Stop getting excited over, oh, wow, it's a statistical dead heat. Look how well Trump is doing in these battleground states.

He's tied with Biden. With Biden being as bad as he is, it's insane that Trump should even be tied with him. So that's why you need to be very, very concerned because they haven't even started spending their quarter of a billion dollar war chest yet. And that's what I'm worried about. They haven't even started. So that's where my concern comes in. I've been warning people.

All right, today in stupidity. Boy, did I have a smorgasbord to choose from today? The stupidity buffet was open. So this is NYU. We have a couple of protesters here that ultimately just don't know what they're protesting, actually. And what would you say is the main goal with tonight's protest? I think the goal is just showing our support for Palestine and demanding that NYU stops.

I honestly don't know all of what NYU's doing. Is there something that NYU's doing? I really don't know. I'm pretty sure there. Do you know what NYU is doing? About what? About Israel. Why are we protesting here?

I wish I was more educated. I'm not either. We do too. We wish you were more educated too. They were from Columbia. Yeah, because you probably wouldn't be out there in the streets if you were. Lord. If you really knew what you were doing.

People are old enough to vote. Just assinine. Just so crazy. Oh my gosh. All right, folks, that does it for today. Make sure you sign it for the subsect chapter and verse. Lots of good stuff up there that goes out regularly. And find us, YouTube, Facebook, like and subscribe. Have a great night. I'll be back behind the mic with you tomorrow unless I have to go in for federal jury duty. So you'll know, you'll know later on.
