On the hostage yield, is the White House's view that in the first phase, all hostages who are released should be alive? I'm not going to get into details. As you know, there are talks happening in Cairo that is incredibly important, and we want to support those talks, and so don't want to get into details from here. One thing that I can say is that from our assessments, it looks like the two sides should be able to come to a deal here, I'll at least close the gaps to get to a deal. That's our assessment. I'm not going to get into details or specifics. Because one of the gaps seems to be that Hamas has suggested that some of the hostages

that they would release would be dead. There would be bodies of hostages. Is that something that you think that... I'm going to be super mindful. There are conversations happening in Cairo. I think it's important. We're going to support those talks that are currently underway. And our assessment is that our close...

assessment that the two sides positions suggest that they should be able to close the gap here and I think that's important but it is our priority obviously continues to be the president's priority to get to a hostage deal to get those hostages home to their loved ones to make sure that it we get a ceasefire right they don't ensure that and it ensure that we surge humanitarian assistance into Gaza as we know as you all know it is a dire situation right now then why are you not acting like it's a dire situation. I mean, that's the thing. I mean, you, you can't sit here and tell me that, well, we'll give you some dead hostages and that's going to be, you know, that'll be the end of it.

Because that's what, that was what part of the deal was. And I got to be honest, like some of the responses that I saw on Twitter, some of these people need a serious ass beating because I feel like maybe that'll knock some sense into them. Is it okay that I'm just tired of being courteous? Are you tired of being courteous to? Then you found the right place. Welcome. I'm Dana Lash. I'm the queen of discourteousness. It's good to be with you. It's true, Kane. Don't laugh. We all know it's true. Everyone's just being polite and they're not saying it, but I will. Welcome to the program. It's Wednesday. We're halfway through the week. We're halfway through the week, everybody. We're almost at Mother's Day. And Mother's Day is the day where I try not to do anything. Try being the operative word here. All right. So a few things to hit just right off the top because we've been talking about this was that deal that deal, not a deal. How do I want to put it? Proposal? joke. It wasn't really a serious thing. Yeah, made up agreement that Hamas was like, I'm going to negotiate with myself.

And just the reaction to this, because the offensive with Rafa, the administration, stopping sales of ammunition. And it's not like we were just like showering Israel with ammunition. I mean, it was just literally, they were receiving ammunition in exchange for cash money. And so that coupled with the ridiculous screw up by the administration to negotiate this thing and not even cut Israel in on it. We're also going to get into some 2024 stuff because, oh my. And I haven't been talking about the Trump trials because I don't care. I don't want to some mean. Like, I don't, like, it's not because I dislike Trump or something.

I just, I would rather have, I don't know, I can't deal with it because it is a witch hunt and it's so stupid. And I'm not going to sit here and go through every single procedural move. However, yesterday there were a couple of crazy things that happened as we ended the work day. And so we got to go over a couple of those things. Right after I told Kane yesterday, I'm not going to cover it exhaustively. Do I look like Fox? No, I'm not. I'm not going to sit here and cover it exhaustively because there's so many other things to touch on that they are hoping that everyone doesn't focus on.

they want you to talk about the legal freak show that's happening in New York and all the other places where they're trying to do this so that you don't pay attention to all of these other things that we are going to pay attention to. So we've got that. And we've got some cultural stuff as well. So first up, I mentioned this yesterday and Red State is a piece about it today. They are wondering, the exact same thing that I asked yesterday afternoon, right when I heard this story and the story being. Um, isn't it weird that this seems like this is an impeachable offense? The idea that you're going to stop sales, ammunition sales as like a political penalty to Israel. Like you're, you're penalizing them for some reason. And just remember, who was it, by the way? Kane, tell me, um, what was it that

they accused Trump of doing. Do you remember? Yeah, it was a withholding aid. Withholding aid. Right. And that was just stuff we were giving to them, right? Yeah. So this is Israel like literally purchasing some things. And now our only ally over there. And now they don't get to buy it because the Biden administration was upset over their plan defensive and Rafa, which I really, you don't, you don't, really get a, you don't really get a say so on that. Let's just be honest. You don't get a say so on that. And so this is where, this is where we're at today with it. So some, I mean, I do think if it, look, if the Ukraine thing was an impeachable offense, if you're holding up two types of munitions, Boeing made precision bombs, another ammunition, because you're trying to send a message to our

only ally over there. That to me seems, I've just impeachable offense, right? I mean, I was reliably, I was told, reliable sources, cane, I was told that it was an impeachable offense. I mean, it's arguably much worse because Trump didn't withhold aid. He just wanted to see some accountability before he sent it. That was literally the deal. This is completely different. He's taking a political stance because they've got a crazy, mentally ill, you know, core to their left. Who doesn't like Jewish people?

Right. I mean, that's really all this says. They're trying to make the deep word of staying people happy. I had this. Well, I didn't have a conversation. I try not to comment anymore to nonsense people on social media because I know who is a drive-by and who isn't. And I just don't give a rats back side about drive-bys.

I really don't. I mean, I don't know. Maybe it's just because this political cycle is everybody exhausted, but I don't care. I really don't care what they do. They could drive themselves off a cliff and I don't care. I'm not joking. I'm totally serious. I just don't care.

And I saw people, like, for instance, trying to get. gaslight some of, and some of the people who listen to the show are so valiant. They're like, no, I'm not going to let you gaslight me about, about some. I'm not going to let you use, you know, the people who see my responses as a way to gaslight other individuals. And some of you are very, very valiant about this. And there was one individual who kept saying, oh my gosh, settlers, settlers, stop calling the people over their settlers. This is their land. I don't care where you come from. I don't care what you come from. I don't care what you got between your legs. I don't care what you do in your life. I just don't care. I don't have that big of a heart.

I don't care. But what I do care about is historical reality, scientific fact, and just being left alone. Three things that I do care about. And historical reality does not support any of the claims that these people have been making. I hate the term subtler. That's such a nonsense, bigoted term that's used by Hamas colonists. They are trying to colonize a free strip of land that was given to them. And because everyone was like, oh, let's elect terrorists. That'll go well for us. Guess what? They turned it into a hellhole. And guess what? They still enjoyed such overwhelming popularity that they were going to win elections to run both territories. So spare me. This is, this elections have consequences. And there are no settlers. They were given the land because

they're a bunch of welfare junkies. And they were given the land and they turned it into a hellscape. which, to answer your question that you didn't ask me, why don't any of these other Arab nations except these people from this territory? There's your answer, why? The end. So some of you were doing a very valiant job at sticking up to all of this.

And I just am tired of the gaslight. I'm tired of hearing that word used on the cable news too. Just stop, use correct terms, just like we don't call a dutic. We don't call people who came from a piece of land and have always been there, and it's supported by thousands of years of antiquity. We don't call them settlers or say that they're occupying.

They don't do any of that. That's like you getting a free house from someone. And then because they don't continue to fix your house and supply you with food as you bomb and kill where they live now, then you insist that they're occupying the house that they get. It doesn't make any sense. That's how insane this whole argument is. Good grief. Some people are not purposefully. Some people are not stupid.

They're evil. And some people are stupid and just, you know, I think. think that willful stupidity in this age is a purposeful evil. It really is. So this has been some of the latest that's been happening with regard to that. Now moving to the classified doxing, there's going to be a piece running in the next few minutes over at Substack. Lorraine followed all of the latest with this trial delay in Florida. This is something else. So Judge Cannon has indefinitely postponed that classified documents trial. This is the Mar-a-Lago bathroom file stuff. right. You got to separate all these. This is what I use in order to separate everything, right?

You got skanky stormy in New York, skinky stormy payments. You got the classified doc. That's the bathroom documents, right? And then you got the Fanny voter Georgia, Fannie voter Georgia. So you got a number of things. That's how I keep track of everything. So this is the bathroom dock stuff, right? So Judge Cannon, a new order came in that they're going to indefinitely, indefinitely, postpone this thing. So this is not going to happen before. It was scheduled literally for this month. Like it was it was going to happen this month. Oh and yeah and you got the DC thing with the immunity. Forgot that one. It was going to happen this month. And now they've indefinitely postponed it. So that's now it means it's not going to happen. And we're going to deep dive into this coming up.

And just to give you the lay of the land with it. But man, this is just wild. The information that's coming out about this. Now also, 2024, this was the first headline that I saw today. Because you have voters out there going, man, I get it. Some of you are like, I wish we had more than just two choices. I wish that there were more than two choices that we had going into 2024 and going into November. Some of you were like that.

Some of you have accepted reality and are like, this is what we got. And then now we've got Robert F. Kennedy saying, yes, well, I had a worm eat part of my brain. Oh, you didn't see that one? No. Yeah. So, yes, that's what he said. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. said that there was a parasitic worm that ate part of his brain, and now he forget stuff.

Sir, I think you just invalidated yourself for a higher office. I mean, if, I just got to say, I don't care what you think about, I don't need anybody out there running for the leader of the free world being like, yeah, I had brain worms. You know, I just, we don't need that. The revelations came out during his divorce proceedings in 2012. By the way, this dude's divorce. divorce baggage is pretty hefty. Got to say, I remember reading about it when his wife, didn't she kill herself in a barn up there in their upstate New York or something like that, and their fam or Massachusetts somewhere. It's pretty rough, dude. It's, yeah, it's rough. And he said that his earning power was diminished due to cognitive struggles. And this was a part of his divorce proceedings. You had to know

this was going to come out. So you got a guy who acts already like worms ate his brain. Then you have Trump and then you have a guy who says that worms ate his brain. So, I'm just saying. Those are the, so you've got, so let's just go for the people watching the simulcast of the radio program. On the far right, the more grayer

withered dude on your far left of your screen, he's the guy who seriously has cognitive struggles, moves like C3PO, seriously, just struggles even lifting up his heavy robot legs. He's got issues. He talks. He talks like he does have brainworms.

Then you've got Trump in the middle. Who's got problems too? None of these dudes are innocent. He's got problems as well. And one of those problems, actually, one of the problems that I miss the most ignorant tweets ever. I miss those. The true social stuff ain't cutting it. I need it on X because I feel like it was meaner.

And then you have the guy on the right who says, ep worms ain't my brain. And now I've had diminished earnings because they made me have cognitive struggles. Guys, come on. This is America, right? We, where are the people that MacGyvered to get out of some space shuttle extras, bits and bobbins to get a guy back from the other side of the moon, right? This is America. We help win two world wars. This is America. We invented the internet. We, this

This is America. And this is the best we've got. What two dudes, one who's honest about brainworms, one who isn't and one who will not stop mean tweeting? I do miss the tweets. Just saying. But can you, it seems like the choice is obvious though, right? We're going to talk more about this because it came out, like I said, in RFK Jr's divorce proceedings. Oh my gosh. We got women in construction. This is probably going to be a very non-PC show today. So I hope you're. You weren't betting on anything. All right, as we get moving, as we got to move. Hi, I'm Margaret, a rhetoric and media major at Hillsdale College. Here's Hillsdale President, Dr. Larry Arne, with a Constitution Minute. Many argue today that the Constitution is outdated because it addresses problems peculiar to the 18th century so long ago. And some of it does read sort of quaintly.

But consider the injunction against titles of nobility in Article 1, Section 9, for example. Is that so outdated? the purpose of that injunction is to prevent the government granting special privileges for partisan reasons. This strikes at the rule of law, the rule under which were all to be treated the same. The crony capitalism so common today, where the government gives favors and tax dollars to some businesses and advantages over others, is exactly the kind of thing the Constitution was meant to prohibit. The Constitution is not outdated at all. To learn more and get a free pocket constitution, visit constitutionminit.com.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick 5. 81% of younger people say a four-day work week would boost productivity. It's a new CNBC Generation Lab survey, and it's stupid. They said that people are saying that they want to work a four-day work week. How about you get a four-day work-week paycheck? How about that? Because you know they don't want to have that four-day work week paycheck.

I mean, what else do you want? Like, you're working from home, right? I mean, what else? Oh, you know what? Instead of maybe advocating for a four-day work week, maybe y'all can be advocating for no income tax and an abolishment of the IRS in favor of if anything is required. A graduated sale, a graduated consumption tax. Oh, that's the way forward. Speaking of younger generations, Gen Z, credit abuse, sinking into debt. I have two headlines on this, completely different aspects of the economy. Rising debt load is just really, uh, is just really, uh, adding up to delinquent credit card payments and relying on family for if they lose jobs, etc., etc. Gen Z is really getting hit with it. And I got a couple of things. They're also getting hit with housing, everything, because, I mean, that's the way you start wealth. They can't do it.

I get it. They should be the gothous generation ever right now. A man charged with killing his hospitalized wife told police that he couldn't afford her medical bills. This is such a sad story. I'll have more on this next headline segment, but it was in Missouri that this happened. Stick with us. Folks over at ReadyWiWise.

I wasn't here after October 7th on the campus. I'm sure the protesters were all very upset at the fact that Hamas went into Israeli communities and baked babies in ovens, raped women, assassinated elderly people in very brutal ways. I'm sure they were very upset about that.

Oh, no, they weren't. That's right. They didn't care about that. They were completely fine. with those massacres happening, and they had no concern about that. And I think that that says anything. I also hear this stuff about occupation. The Gaza Strip is not occupied, okay?

That's been Hamas' sanctuary for many years now, and did they create opportunities for people? Did they utilize the natural resources? No. They focus their efforts on terrorism, and that's what's happened. And so much of this is just such a farce that it's just kind of embarrassing to even hear some of this nonsense. Oh my gosh. That is so great. So that's Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

Who went to an encampment? He straight up went to the encampment, set up the little podium, had the mic, put it up on the PA system, and just blasted these people. Just blasted them. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. This is the way. This is the way, Cain. It is.

It's the way. I love that he was looking right. I mean, they were right in front of him. You can see, if you're looking at the video, and I've tweeted it on X, and Juan just showed you on the simulcast of the radio program, if you're watching the simulcast as well, the video component of the radio program. You can see in the glass doors behind DeSantis reflected in those doors. you can see those protesters right in front of them. And there's a herd of them. And he's just like, I don't care.

And? Oh, no, you didn't. Oh, that's right. You weren't upset. Oh, that's right. You weren't. Oh, my gosh. It's so great.

And he said exactly what they, the truth and exactly what needed to be said to them. I love it. That's the way to do this. That is the way to do it. And that's, he just doesn't, he's very, much like Calvin Coolidge. Because Calvin Coolidge, historically, and I've read a, there's a couple of really good biographies about Coolidge out. And I had one that I read like, gosh, like 10 years ago. And I was entertained by the way in which everybody remembered Coolidge. And that they said that he was, you know, Silent Cal and he wasn't one for theatrics. He wasn't one for stagecraft. He just wanted to get a He wanted to get stuff done and kick ass. That's what he wanted to do, right?

He was basically Rowdy, Roddy Piper showing up. Like, I'm here to chew bubble gum and kick, you know what, and I'm all out of bubblegum. That's him. And when he spoke, it carried weight because it was either going to be something very witty or he's just going to cut you. And I just, I have the same vibe whenever, like when Desaena does stuff like this, particularly, I totally get the same vibe. These protesters, can we, did we save this from yesterday?

I'm sorry Juan. Like Juan's like, here we go. We're not going, we're not following the show run down. I do this. I have three pages of just like maybe the order that I think we're going to will hit things. And then I just toss it out the window. Juan's over there like he turns into an octopus trying to control everything. He's literally like an anime character over there right now just trying to control all the buttons and show you things on simulcast. It was the chick we talked about yesterday who, and there was another one of these. I didn't see. you the video of it because literally every word that they said was an F-bom. I'm not joking you. It was adverb. It was an adjective. It was an adverb. It was a preposition and a conjunction. It was a gerund. It was all of these things. They, I mean, it was really, honestly, it's one of the most, it can serve, it's a jack of all trades word that you can't say on air. And so I can't play the video. But it was some, some hefty girls came. hefty hefty hefty Remember those old commercials

Some hefty girls And they were like we're also We're also going to go on a hunger strike And then one of them apparently was saying later That they felt like In fact one of these Here's one at Princeton Who said that

She was being purposefully physically weakened Because they're starving And she actually said I say this is a joke all the time she goes, I'm quite literally shaking right now. Now, if you do not troll people on social, like literally shaking are in, literally shaking right now. We say this all the time. She actually said it.

Now you see why it's a stereotype. And she says this. She goes, we're both hot and called at the same time. And we're all immuno-compromised. And they want to physically weaken us. You can go home. you know, that's an option. You can go home.

You don't like have to be here on the college campus squatting. And I don't know who the guy is standing next to her, but he's so like I don't, I'm just made of insults about his outfit khakis and then dark socks with white shoes. Dude, you're not even broing it right. You are such a faker with the broletariat.

You're not even trying. Like no self-respecting dude who would wear khakis and white shoes would wear dark socks. with that one doesn't matter with you. Anyway. Yeah, see, even Kane knows this. And Kane's never worn pastel in his life.

He's allergic. Even on Easter. Even on Easter. He's allergic. See, we share that same deficiency. See, I get allergic. I'm in a gray shirt right now. This is, to me, is color.

Anyway, it is. It is color. Yeah, this is my pastel. Exactly. So they're saying, we're compromised. I just feel like, like a lot of them, a punker strike would do them well. And that, are they, why are they still on campus?

Didn't Princeton in classes already? Yeah. Why are they still there? Go home, you losers. Go home. Did you see the headline of the, I can pull this up. I have it on the rundown, I believe. It's the headline of the, one of the janitors that they took hostage at,

um, Columbia. He said that he was too scared to go back, that he was too scared to go back to work with all these, with all the people there. He said he was too nervous. It scared him. He didn't want to go,

he didn't want to go back because they, and he was one of the ones that they would not allow to leave the building. Yeah, so I like that to Santa showed up and ripped them all a new one. They deserved it. Now, DC police, audio sound bite 11, began clearing the protest camp at George Washington University. They finally began cleaning up the trash.

Here's some of that. Listen. Started yesterday evening. Got their bikes. And then these people that willingly run up to cops and they get spray in the face. So with their little surgical masks on, these people are so goofy. Just going to huddle together. The police, by the way, are more diverse than the protesters. Have you noticed this?

the police force is way more diverse at every single one of these protests I've seen than the actual protesters. Yeah, and it gets even worse. Sometimes they all wear the same thing and then they are all in the same tents. Like there's literally no diversity in these groups. No. They're just, these protesters, stop making white people look bad. Stop it. Golly, you bunch of losers.

Jiminy Christmas. I just, it's wild. love this. Speaking of really good sound bites. So Brian Mast was asked by Code Pink. Now, if you're wondering what Code Pink is, no, it is not a menstruation product. Yeah, it's not one of those fresh products either. Code Pink is a group of haggard cougars that get together and denigrate soldiers, denigrate our servicemen and women, and aggravate lawmakers while denigrating servicemen and women, and they love themselves some terrorists, right? And none of them have ever met a bottle of hair conditioner. None of these women ever, I mean, for the love, just the size of a dime.

And anyway, one of them seized upon lawmaker Brian Mast in the Capitol yesterday. And I approve of his answer here when he was asked a question. Listen to this. That Hamas has agreed to a ceasefire, do you think his bill should agree? I think the Israel should go in there and kick the shit on it. Just absolutely destroy them, their infrastructure, level, anything that they touch. Clear enough? Congressman, the world is calling for a ceasefire. You used to say Hamas won't agree to a ceasefire.

Hamas had just agreed. It was a proposal put forward by Egypt, Qatar, you know CIA, during the United States. Director William Burns has been there negotiating. You know what? If there's an American help or somebody else being helped, there's every expectation that Americans come and kill them as well. If there's an American being helped, we should go kill the people that are holding them.

Why are you so hateful? It's not hateful. It is, because my people are Palestinian. You're killing my people with our tax dollars. And you're saying that everything should associate themselves of terrorists. They shouldn't vote terrorists into office. We keep saying to you.

Israel is the terrorists. Palestinian is locked up. I like his answer. He's like, no, I hope they just beat the, you know, what, out of them. These late, and these are the same women that have been doing this for forever. These women are like vampires. They, they have lived forever. They, they look like this when I was a teenager. It's weird, right? I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just saying. Isn't that what they do? There's just as much of Haggard-old Cougars and they get mad over

servicemen and women. They don't actually support our troops. They don't, you know, they they conflate why are you laughing they do oh you say cougars yeah it's funny to me yeah should I say pumas bunch of haggard old pumas is that better is that a better

is that a better is that a better cat yeah maybe yeah I know I'm on the edge here I know I believe me it's Wednesday I don't care I feel like Ricky Jervais speaking at the Hollywood Golden Globes

I don't care I don't care because after this you're gonna go get a phone on your debts and go blank off I don't care. So we have also been following, and we're going to deep dive into this coming up second hour, this. It's not about this whole case with the dock dump, or the dock dump, the classified dock, the toilet docks, the classified document thing. We're going to touch on that. And also, this Stormy Daniels thing, I haven't talked about any of these, the trials, because I think I would rather eat bad cheese and then choke.

to death than talk about any of it. And I know you guys are just done with it. Yes. Jot that down, Steve. I want Steve to jot it down. Okay, so they have been keeping track of things that I would rather do than talk about these trials. Right. But then when something actually newsy happens, then I, you know, I do talk about the newsworthy

aspects, but I'm not going to follow it day by day because this woman is a chunky skis. And I just, yes, this is why you listen. and I don't feel like covering this stuff. I don't feel like covering somebody's Chunky Ski's sidepiece. I just don't care. That was Chucky Cheese's like generic version. It's the name of the Chuckie Cheese for the kids and then you had chunky skis. Well, hold on, hold on.

This wasn't just about the Trump trials. This was just about anything that our company. About anything either of our companies had to do. We were forced to do. We would just say that we would rather do other things. Zoom meeting. Like, yeah. If it's a Zoom meeting.

meeting or you know. On an email string, something we have to do for whatever. And it's like, no, you'd rather not. Like if you could have a meeting, we have to have a meeting that can just be stalled with any email. Yeah, I'm, I'm that person. I just, you have to basically get me, lure me out of my hole. I'm, you have to just like, I'm like a spider that's down in a hole.

You've got to get me out. So, anyway, this whole thing is Stormy Daniels. I saw this last night. first off, how is Michael Avanotti? Isn't he somebody's prison bee right now? I believe so. Why is he releasing statements on what? What is he?

How is he doing this? I mean, I know he joined, didn't he join CNN or MSNBC or something one night? He actually did a hit from prison. And it was like pro Trump. I think he's angling for a pardon. What is he doing? Angling for a pardon? Well, he came out and said that Stormy Daniels also falsified business records.

So why isn't it? Alvin Bragg pursuing charges against that also. So the reason why that is news is because it's literally the reason why they've elevated the charges in that case to a felony because they were saying that the bookkeeping error was a misdemeanor, but it was done in commission of another crime to hide another crime. And as of such, that elevates it to a felony and nixis the statute of limitations that was already applicable to the first original crime that this second crime they're saying was done to hide. Does that make sense? So that's why it became a news item and it's relevant. Otherwise, chunky skis

where a skank can be a skank, I don't care. I'm not talking about it. That's a new favorite band name. But it's of, you know what it is? It's, it's the, it's a band name of chicks who, after they got done college protesting, they had nowhere else to go. So they formed a really, really bad like L7 ripoff group where they can, they only know like two power cords and they can't harmonize and it's called chunky skis. How is it possible that America could run short of amoxicillin? Amoxicillin is like the Swiss Army knife of antibiotics because it treats so many different types of infections. Doctors prescribe it for ear, nose, throat infections. It treats lower respiratory infections, sinusitis, which I've had before, skin infections, UTIs. So again, how could America run short on it?

Antibiotics come from China and India. And if you or a family member get sick, and there's no amoxicillin. Now what? So that's why I have a medical emergency kit from the wellness company. I've used it for strep before. It comes with amoxicillin and it's in your kit now when you need it. So this is not a first aid kit. It's like an urgent care in your house with essential prescriptions. And it comes with those essential prescriptions to treat over 39 medical issues. It's doctor prescribed antibiotics for infections of all types like strep throat, pneumonia, UTIs, bronchitis, so much more. Plus, you have a doctor's guide so you know exactly when and how to use each prescription. You've got your medications, no waiting to see the doctor, no lines at the pharmacy.

We are starving. We are physically exhausted. I am quite literally shaking right now, as you can see. We are both cold and we are all immunocompromised. And based on some of our bargaining to you, physically weakening us. Because they can't stand that's murder. Yeah, you chose this. You dummy?

I'm Loreley shaking right now. Dave Burge goes, you're literally 100 feet away from a PJ's pancake house. Use $10 of your $80,000 tuition to buy a short stack. Like, for real, Princeton, you know how many restaurants are right near that area? Like, girl, go and get you some numbs. Like, what's up? Imagine the waft of food in the air while they're fasting for Hamas. They're fasting for Hamas.

They're appropriating the Ghazan struggle. Why isn't that called appropriation? Like, if you dress up for Halloween, or if you eat a taco on a Tuesday, then the appropriation. But these people are cosplaying as, like, oppressed people under a terrorist regime that they voted for.

And they're, like, but that's not appropriation? We have a whole other hour on the way, including women and construction work. Oh, boy. because it's being mandated now. I'll explain coming up. I don't care if you don't like Amazon or Netflix. I don't care.

Governor Mills, signing an executive order at Maine deal to you in August. alongside female leaders in Maine's construction industry.

The executive order will kickstart data collection and collaboration with partners in the construction industry and implement grant programs to incentivize the hiring of women while providing supportive services that recruit and retain women in the construction industry. There are qualified women across Maine who belong in fields dominated by men and I want to knock down the barriers that are keeping them from pursuing these good paying jobs in construction

with good Maine employers. There's already some work being done across the state to invite women to work in construction. Associated General Contractors of Maine helps run Career Day events for teens and a registered pre-apprenticeship through Maine Construction Academy. This year, as we reviewed the applications,

we had almost 30% of our participants were female this year, which is a significant improvement over what we've seen for construction industry participation in the past. Laura LeBove owns her own construction company called Sopo Cottage. She helps organize volunteer opportunities called Women Build Day through Habitat for Humanity. It gives women an opportunity to gain hands-on experience in construction.

We have women of all different experience levels, but many are novices. They've never held a drill. They've never held a saw. And we teach them how to do that as part of the build day. And they get to experience it firsthand. They don't know how to do anything. I just feel like that feeds stereotypes in a way. Yeah, because, you know, you solve societal problems with more government.

that's the way you do it. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you, top of the second hour. You can listen coast to coast. You can stream the radio program as well. We're also an X. You can find us on Rumble, YouTube, Facebook, all that good stuff. So this was in Maine. They signed this executive order. They're trying to make the construction industry. Excuse me. What they said is more inclusive? It's exclusive? Like what? What do you mean? They're barring women from working? So they have this, this direct order, this order is going to direct state agencies to collaborate with businesses and partners to identify opportunities and incentives. And they said that they are also with this giving out grants. So this is government money, you know, government grants to companies that incentivize hiring female construction workers. And she thinks, you know, the construction industry is dominated by men because of to sexisms. Now, to, taxpayer dollars to incentivize this.

And then that's going to just be the panacea. Government money, government solutions for, first off, so much of this comes down to nature and what women want to do and what they don't want to do, right? There's a reason why, for instance, you have more female manicurists than male manicurists. I mean, there's like different, there's like a reason why. Some, it comes down to nature and what, and by the way, who cares? Oh my gosh, here's that crazy thought.

I know this is nuts. No pun intended, but just bear with me. Instead of incentivizing hiring female construction workers, maybe incentivize hiring good construction workers. What? I know. It's kind of crazy. But maybe the emphasis could be on merit and not what your sex organ is. Right? Does that make sense? It's kind of crazy, isn't it? It's a little crazy. I get it. You sound like a bigot. is it bigoted to say we should hire merit over focusing on whether or not the applicant has a vagina or is it bigoted to say we should focus on whether or not the applicant has a vagina and not their merit because then it's I mean which which is actually bigoted that last one yeah yeah that sounds like that if you were going to be a bigot that sounds like that's the way you would go with that the I don't think that there's sexist barriers can I just be real I and I got family at work in construction I mean it's hard work And it's just, there's just certain things that are more appealing to dudes. And you know what? That's okay. That's not why I don't know why the measure of strength in a woman is always defined by male parameters. And it's not men who establish this. It's women who establish it. Women insist on defining equality by whether or not a woman can operate the same according to a measure of a man. Instead of recognizing and celebrating the unique strengths of women, because they're like, lot of things that women can do that men simply cannot do. And I'm not just speaking of biological functions. So why isn't it, I mean, if it's about equality and if it's about empowering women,

then why isn't the measure of a woman ever actually applied and used as often as the measure of a man is to determine whether or not a woman is truly equal? That's such nonsense. It's a betrayal of the very movement that they're pushing. They say that it's about empowering women and making things equal for women, but you're not going to make anything equal for a woman by always defining them by a man's characteristics, right? Like, you're not going to sit here and measure or not whether a fish and a dog are the same by measuring whether or not the fish can actually operate by the same parameters as a dog can or, you know, so on it. It's just so goofy, right? This is so dumb. Like, why is, and it's a, and it actually betrays, I think, the, the,

the motive of what this whole movement is. This isn't about equality. It's not about any of those things. Just make it, how about you have it based on merit? I would hate, and I say this as a woman in an industry that is absolutely dominated by men. Dominated. Talk radio is dominated by men.

And a lot of people say it's an old boys club. And there's things that women won't get invited to because it's dudes. I don't ever look at it. I don't look at everything through the lens of sexism. I look at it through merit. And I get really, I'm probably snodier and more braggadocious than

a lot of the dudes in the industry. Oh, I freely admit this. In fact, one of them got really mad at me because I joke that my cigar was bigger. And they got mad at me, and they're like a talk radio host, and they will not talk to me anymore after years of being friends. I was like, dude, I did not realize you were so sensitive. I was just joking with you. Well, I asked him, I asked him why he was being such a female convolutory organ about it.

And this is me, though. This is just how I am. But, you know, I'm joking about it. And it's very tough. One of the things that I've always maintained is that I don't ever want any achievement, any recognition or any accolade because I'm a chick. That to me is the most insulting thing you can do to me professionally. Because I got to where I got in my career, not because I'm a woman.

Now, does being a woman help? It sure as hell does. there it's a very it's an interesting give and take it benefits you in some ways to be unique and it it kneecaps you in other ways to be unique like for instance this microphone that i'm talking to on right now this is a a specially constructed microphone no one else in the business has a mic like this kane's dad actually played it it's my platinum mic it's not my golden mic it's my platinum mic but we had to have it wired differently because when you are in talk radio, one of the ways that they gauge your audience and your reach terrestrially is they basically now have devices that can, you know,

pick up your voice. But a woman's voice is pitched naturally higher than that of a man's voice. And a lot of these, you know, these readers do not pick up female voices. So it actually will penalize your voice. And so my husband actually rewired this whole mic. So it forces my voice to be registered by these readers. It doesn't lower my voice. I mean, this is the timber of my voice. But it actually makes it to where in layman's terms, it can be picked up. So there's, I'm in an industry that's already dominated by men. I mean, this industry that I am in is more dominated by men than the construction industry is dominated by men. If you look at, you know, go down to the actual numbers. there aren't a lot of ladies in talk radio

and most of us we all know each other and I would never want to have any kind of anything given to me because I'm a woman I want to earn it I want to know that I am the best because I am the best I want to be number one in my day part because I get the most ears and eyes I want to I want to know that I've earned everything

and didn't have it given to me because that's a false achievement and that doesn't go towards building you up. It doesn't give you an accurate measure of how well you're doing professionally or anything else. It's a lie. And then you're lying to yourself. And then you're betraying yourself, which is that not the complete antithesis of what all these feminist claim that they want? So why would you do that? I can't stand it. I've had people refer to me and say, oh, she's the number one female talk radio. I just want to be number one. So we're number one in our day part in this in this time

slot, which we've occupied, you know, for years now. And so when I see stuff like this, I feel like I'm pretty, I'm in a pretty credible position to say it's nonsense. To say that you don't need to have these like bumpers in the bowling, in the bowling alley. You don't need to have this. Just be good at what you're doing. We don't live in a society anymore. And I, again, I can say this and I will fight anybody because I've lived it. Being in a male dominated industry, we do not live in an environment to where you have to have these crutches anymore, ladies, in order to succeed in your industry. If you are good and you are tenacious, you will last. I've been in boardrooms with dudes who are twice my age that have, you know, and I don't get offended if

someone's like, oh, honey, or whatever, because I can punch back as soon as I, as good as I can get. And I actually enjoy it. So I don't, I don't ever take no offense to it. And I don't look to constantly be offended. But a lot of chicks today do. And they look at that as though it is, they look at that as a way to leapfrog themselves forward instead of just relying on their merit. If you can make someone feel as though that they have wronged you, then they will give way to you. That's not a true victory. Maybe it's a sciop, but it's not a true achievement. Because I hate all this stuff. Chicks are so manipulative. Oh my gosh, they are. We are. But so I can say with a lot of credibility that you don't need all this stuff in an industry. We don't live in that kind of era

anymore where you have to have this stuff. In fact, I feel like it's now the opposite. You have the matriarchy that runs everything. And if you look at the statistics of dudes going for higher paying jobs, going for higher college degrees, it's actually women that are outpacing men in major urban cities. And it's been this way for eight and a half years now. So there it is. Maybe men are getting back by going in our bathrooms. I don't know. I mean, I didn't do it, but I can see, I didn't create the problem, but, you know, maybe, maybe that's a little revenge. I don't know. Gold Co.

So an Amazon delivery, driver. This is a WDBJ, this television network. There was an attempted carjacking. An Amazon driver shot and killed an armed carjacker Saturday evening. Cleveland police said the driver was working in the area just after 4 p.m. when they were approached by somebody who was armed. The Amazon

worker told police that the person held them at gunpoint and while they were trying to steal the vehicle. Guns save lives, by the way. Guns save lives. So this driver was like, yeah, it's not happening. You're not going to do this. This, uh, MIT becomes the first, this is huge, they become the first elite university to ban these stupid diversity statements. This is being described as a watershed moment. Massachusetts Institute of Technology has officially ended the use of diversity statements for faculty hiring, making it the first elite private university to backtrack on the practice that's been roundly criticized as a political litmus test. So consumer reports is petitioning to changes for cars because they say there's cancer-causing chemicals in car seats. So basically they're acting like if you've ever sat in a car, been in a car, whatever, you could have the cancers. They say it's a safety feature.

They found 99% of car seats are covered in this flame retardant chemicals that contain carcinogenic stuff. Great. Everything's going to kill you. Everything's going to kill you. Everything will kill you. This is a great story. Wisconsin, actually, let's start this one. This is a dealership in Southwest Michigan. A man stabbed himself at a dealership in Calhoun County, Michigan. This was just on Monday.

Sheriff's deputies were called to this dealership. They said that this 48-year-old guy entered, asked about a vehicle donation, became confrontational, and then presented an exacto knife, and stabbed himself in the abdomen several times. They called 9-1. Dude, I mean, that's like the worst way to commit Sepaku. They called 911. Deputies were dispatched. He was taken to the hospital. obviously they're going to seek mental health treatment for him because good night. That sounds, yeah. And a Wisconsin 8th grader took the wheel of his school bus because the driver lost consciousness. Wow. So this was in April, A.C. Holland the 3rd, 8th grade in Glendale, Wisconsin. He got on the bus to go home. The driver was fine, apparently, said all the students. And then Holland said, he put on, Holland said that,

put on headphones, things took a bad turn. This, I mean, this is such a crazy story. Holland said the bus driver all of a sudden looked sick or tired and her head dropped. So he had put, when he got in, he put his headphones on. He was sitting there, you know, going for the right home. And he happened to look up and he saw the bus driver's head kind of start to droop. You know how some people are sitting up and they kind of start going to sleep? And he said that then she flew by the street that normally she's supposed to be.

to turn on to let kids off. And he said she turned the corner. There's another street that we turn on and she just went past the corner. And he goes, and I look back at her. She didn't respond. And he goes, I was scared. He goes, he rushed forward. He tried to get her foot off the gas and apply the brakes and then safely park the bus.

He told the other students to call their families. He contacted 911 and his grandmother, who was a nurse. And so he's, I mean, wow, think about that. Like this 14-year-old sprung into action. stop the bus, then had the presence of mind to be like, I'm going to call 911, that my grandmother of the nurse, all you kids, you need to be calling your families and letting them know that you're not going to be getting home on the bus. They're probably going to need to come. I mean, he was like already like stage and everything. That was great. I feel like this, I feel like this 14 year old's

got a bright future ahead. I'm just saying, that's the kind of kid you want to foxhole with you. All right. Stick with us. We have a lot more on the way back after this.

Download the Dana Show podcast and join the ranks of those who refuse to settle for the same old boring content on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Governor Nome was scheduled to be on this program. Inside Politics.

Today, her team reached out to us weeks ago to book her here, and we reconfirmed earlier this week. She abruptly canceled last. last night. We want to say... Well, I mean, can you say that you blame her? That was Dana Bash on CNN saying that Christy Noem can't... She apparently... Nome apparently canceled Greg Gutfeld, too. She was going to be on Greg Gutfeld show, and she canceled on Greg Gutfeld.

So she's canceling all of her... All of her hits. We reached out to get her out, and she won't... to get her on the show, and she will not... Yeah, it's not going to happen. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. I don't blame her. And I think it's actually the best move for her. because she's got to salvage what's left of her reputation now at this point. When you, like for, because this wasn't just about the dog and it wasn't even, and yes,

it's about lying about Kim Jong-un and all of that, but it's about the lack of political acumen. The fact that she put this stuff in a book and then acted as though that any, acted as if any questions about what she elected to put in the book and read in the audio book. and then approve excerpts. These excerpts, that's why we know of them. That's like a common practice in publishing for people who don't know. You approve what excerpts you want released and which publications are going to run it. And that's promo for your book.

And these were two excerpts that were selected and released. The Guardian ran the first one. And the author has to sign off on this. I've had excerpts of my books run the exact same way. So you have not only the final galley copies, and that's like the on, that's like the paperback, not official cover and all that book form. So you can go through it and look. And sometimes they send that out for people doing advanced book reviews and that, the galley copies. And then that's, you'll have the galley copy that you review.

And usually, if it's political, you'll do, you know, you'll go through the book with your editor, the whole thing. And you do, even if it's ghost written. And you will go through and do final. edits. Sometimes you have a legal read when I was at Hachette with my first book, hands off my gun. We also did a second legal read of it for anything that could have been legally questionable. And then you, she read the audiobook and then the excerpt. So she had like four different chances, three to four different chances to say, I don't want these things included. And then you knew it came out that her first autobiography, which is so weird that she has two autobiographies

about herself that she wrote in a two-year period. I'm not even making this up. She had her one that came out in 22 and the one that came out now just last week. And she wanted to put the dog story in the first one and they said that's a bad move and they wouldn't let her put it in. Well, she was bound to determine to get it in the books that they put it in the second one. They, so they had tons of, she had tons of opportunities on this. Her lack of political acumen is the big thing here. It is the biggest thing. You can sit here and point to the stories and they're insane. and the way that she's trying to handle it is even, it was even crazier. But it's her lack of political acumen.

Like the dog story, I'm not litigating the dog story, but what changed is that she began modifying the story from what she wrote in the book. And it was the excerpt published exactly as it is in the book and The Guardian. And then she began changing the details of the story to try to make it seem more palatable. So then she was literally modifying the story, modifying history as she went. And the same thing with the Kim Jong-un thing. So she just, it was just a disastrous. I don't want to see her as VP.

I had someone trying to tell me that they were sad to see this happen because that meant that it was either going to be Mark or Rubio or Tim Scott then out of that list that circulated a couple of weeks ago for Trump's VP. And I'm like, no one who has paid attention to politics for the past 10 years thinks that Christy Nome is a conservative. She's not. If you look at her record when she was in House of Representatives, that woman's a moderate at best. moderate on all of the issues that conservatives hold dear. And she was a moderate as governor. The only thing that saved her was her Republican state legislature. That's it. She would have locked the state down. They stopped her. They stopped her again when she refused to protect women's sports. So there's a lot of bad stuff there. And she's trying to rewrite history so she can be

more palatable to Trump's hardcore base. But, you know, those of us who've watched, and I've watched her for a long time. We know her record. She's a moderate at best. I mean, golly, on something she and like mansion could be kind of interchangeable on. I mean, I'm not kidding. She's a pretty big moderate. So she's not like this conservative superstar. So if they were, if people thought that, you know, she was a conservative contender, she's not conservative. You're going to get, you know, there's a better chance to get someone else with a more conservative record. I want to switch it and look at the story. You can read it at chapter and verse. Lorraine has a deep dive on this. classified documents case. Because this is, like I told you, I haven't been watching. I watch it,

but I don't follow it on air with you day by day because it gets into the weeds and it's boring and I don't care. I think that it's a combination of unforced errors and witch-huntery. And so, you know, it is what it is. When there are big developments, I'll bring it up. So there was a pretty big development with the classified documents case. And this was the one where they found those classified documents literally in the bathroom in Mar-a-Lago. And just as much as we would raise questions for Joe Biden having classified documents in the garage, then you're going to wonder, okay, why do we have stacks of classified docs in a mostly unused bathroom at Mar-a-Lago? So, yeah, I think that there are questions. And yes, while the executive can declassify things,

there is a very easy process that they do and are legally required. to go through to do it. And we talked to Andy McCarthy about that before, like right when this case first broke. So out of all of the cases, like I think the New York case is stupid, the Georgia case. This was the case, though, that I have said consistently, if they were going to get him on anything, it would be this case. It would be something from this case. Because I don't think that there was a crime committed in New York.

I really don't. You can sit here and say it was a lapse of moral character. You can say, then don't pay your sidepiece. then don't have an affair. You can say all that stuff, but none of those things are illegal. And the question isn't whether it's morally acceptable. It's whether or not it's illegal and invalidating

and whether it rises to that of a felony, which it doesn't. But this case is the one that you actually could get something. I'm being honest because you either want to handle the reality and figure out a solution or you don't, and you want to stick your head in the sand and you want to lose because you don't want to fight. That's fine. but this was the case and Lorraine agrees especially when there was audio leaked where Trump

was showing people classified documents and so there was a lot of it that was ambiguous about this case the details of it and that's because so much stuff was under seal they had so many things that were sealed and Canon, Aline Cannon, or Eileen Cannon who's the judge here, she was a Trump appointee. And so the media wanted to present canon as being someone who was compromised and unreliable and who should recuse herself from the case because she was a Trump appointee.

They want to get back at Trump for having a judicial half of his first term. And they think this is the best, one of the ways to do it. And so they think that she's biased. She's even ruled in, I mean, she has ruled in favor. and this is one thing that Lorraine noted over again,

it's at Substack, chapter and verse. She, her record, she sides with Jack Smith more than she did with Trump. So the media accusations about that Newsweek had a whole piece on this. She cited with Jack Smith more than she did with the Trump team. And so she recently unsealed as the trial date, because remember it was supposed to be May 20th. The trial was going to start. So she started unsealing documents.

and a lot of the information that was unredacted, they had, like, for instance, August 18, 2023, Walt Nata's lawyer, Stanley Woodward, alerted the court that during the D.C. Grand Jury investigation, the Department of Justice lawyer had issued this very, very thinly veiled threat to Woodward's career unless he could get his client to flip on Trump. and that's all there's all kinds of documents that have been unredacted on this so all the unsealed stuff this is all the stuff that we didn't know leading up to this and so then they found out via a for a FOIA request that there's a little there's some impropriety the white the DOJ and the White House council etc they were working together that showed throughout 21 they were

in contact with the Biden White House counsel and real clear investigations has a has a dive specifically on that because apparently they were laying the groundwork for this before they ever brought this indictment to light. But the big thing is now there is accusations and there exists some evidence of tampering by the DOJ. And this is up at again, subsection chapter and verse. The defendants were ordered in April to tell the court which class. documents that they needed for their defenses, this was on, by May 9th, so by tomorrow. And then on the second of this month, Nauta's lawyer filed a request to extend the deadline, and they alerted the court to an issue with boxes.

Nowda had been charged with concealing this classified information, right? Because he apparently was moving these boxes prior to the search, Trump's own lawyer's search. And Nauta's defense need to know what documents came from what box. and what box, what each document was in, and how it was marked, because it's kind of vital to his case. I mean, if you're charged with moving around boxes and documents, then you need to know which admitted to evidence was from what box and which was marked, because is that something that you actually were, you know, I mean, you need to know these details. And apparently, the Department of Justice doesn't have those details.

They mixed up all of the order of documents that were in all of the boxes. And they, apparently, all of the restrictions on what material can be viewed inside and outside the skiff. So now Nodda's attorney cannot figure out. And again, because he's charged with moving, concealing evidence by moving these boxes. But if the DOJ can't tell what evidence that they've submitted came from what box, then how do you know that NADA had anything to do with the documents in question being used as evidence, whether or not they came from any of the boxes that he moved? Does that make sense? So the DOJ can't even, they screwed up and messed everything up. They didn't mark everything down. They can't, they don't know what has to be inside or outside the skiff.

And that's the secure area for viewing these classified documents. And so how, if you're not a, how are you defending, how are you preparing your defense case? You have no idea. If what you are being asked, did you have, did you move this document? Well, was it in the box that, boxes that I moved? Well, we can't answer that question. Well, then how can I answer your question? That's what's it. That's what's going on here. And so that's the biggest. thing. And apparently the agents conducting the raid on Mar-a-Lago, they didn't maintain the order of the boxes when they went through all of them. And apparently they didn't even put the right cover sheets back on the right documents. And they made an absolute mess. So the crazy thing is that this is the

case that stood the most chance of actually getting some kind of conviction. And it looks like the DOJ may have messed all of it up because of their insane incompetency. Out of all the cases, this is the where everyone from Andy McCarthy, who is a very legal guy, he's a word of law and he's even thinking, gosh, this has all been a witch hunt with us, this is at the point now where they may not get anything

because they messed it all up. I mean, they admit in a footnote that they lied to the court, they promised the judge that the boxes were taken exactly as they were found and everything was kept exactly in each box. They said, and Lorraine has this in her piece in sub-sac, the government

acknowledges that this isn't consistent with what the government council previously understood and represented to the court. This is, this is, what is this? And so they removed all this stuff. And so now, one of the other things, and one of the evidence, one of the, um, batches of evidence they have, they have a written placeholder for a one-page document that's like a secret, you know, classified document. Some of the documents, because they've messed up all the cover sheets and they can't tell what goes with where. Some that are

confidential say secret. And some that are like classified, say secret. Some that are confidential, say classified. They've messed all of it up. They have no idea what's classified and what isn't anymore now. They have messed up their whole case. How do you unravel this?

Can you? Oh, my gosh. I mean, And by the way, this was going to trial. The trial started May 20th. They only literally just now started admitting to this. They were going to let this go all the way. Is that not something? The full piece is over at Substack, Chapter and Versus the top story there right now.

Go and check it out. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for four. Florida man. So this Florida man, he took a bite out of a deputy's head. Oh my gosh, he does look like a big dude. He's at least what, six one, six two, but he's a big, he's a big dude. Florida deputy's recovering. He was attacked at, uh, by a drugged out volunteer at the Vortex Springs Soul Fest. And Holmes County Sheriff's Office says that the volunteer attacked a deputy and bit a chunk out of his head

while trying to grab his gun. The deputy was on walking patrol at the festival. He tried to fight off Anderson and tased him before he was restrained by several other deputies. Oh, they say Anderson, this guy who bit him, this James Anderson, was under the influence of PCP, LSD, ketamine, mushrooms, and ecstasy. Save some drugs for the other people, dude.

Good night. It looks like an extra on like Sons of Anarchy. I mean, look how huge he is. If you're watching the simulcast, Juan's big guy preparing this guy's as his mug shot and he looks like

he's kind of smiling I don't know what his expression is he's a big dude and he bit literally bit a chunk off of this deputy's head he tried to eat that deputy

he tried to eat that nice patrol deputy so he's charged with aggravated battery of a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest wait so you could bite a

chunk of flesh off a deputy's head and it's okay aggravated battery just aggravated battery i don't know is that is there like an elevated thing you can put on it like he tried to eat someone i don't know it's just aggravated battery yeah i mean i i i just you know i got a got a question about that so this uh let's see of course my google doc froze so one other headline here real quick uh if i can get it to pull up because now nothing wants to work.

So we got this guy. We have a guy who was on Adderall psychosis. We did the snake in his pants guy. Oh my gosh, everything froze. So this is a shirtless Florida man with Wendy's beef caught on camera threatening to rob the restaurant. No, we didn't. We mentioned we were going to do it. It took a frosty turn.

Get it frosty turn. Ha, ha, Wendy's Frosty. He had a problem. He threatened to rob the restaurant. He used fingers as makeshift guns. And he ordered from the drive-thru first. And then he went in. Like, why would you, why would you do that?

And according to Highland County Sheriff's Office, he told the employee he was going to rob the restaurant. It didn't work. So he was totally taken into custody. Yeah. Stick with us. We've got more in store. I think there's two categories.

I mean, there's obviously the Tim Scott categories, as you said, that's embarrassing to watch. Cringy. I've watched it many times. I think many of them want to be close to power. They also assume or have this thought in their mind that maybe Donald Trump will go away. Maybe he'll go to jail. Maybe he will die.

Not to be too morbid, but maybe I mean, he's not a young man. Not to be too morbid, but like, maybe that's jeez, that's Jen Saki. Who's old. He said that she wants Trump to die. So she just said, I heard her. Do you hear her, cane? I heard

her. We heard it. Who's older than that Trump not young guy? Is his name rhyme with Mo Schmidon? It does, actually. It's weird. It's crazy because it's Joe Biden. That's my. Yeah, welcome back to the program.

Dana Lash with you. Top of our, again, third hour. Listen coast to coast. And you can also stream the radio program. The simulcast, the video component, which you can watch on Channel 347, Direc, TV, X, Rumble, YouTube, Facebook, everywhere. So, yeah, that's what she,

he's, there was this video that I saw of him. It was actually the third or four. thing that I saw today, or first video I saw today, where he was like wobbling at the top of the steps on Air Force One. He was C3Ping. I'm trying to make that into a verb. C3POing up the steps. Because he's so awkward. And he was on the struggle bus. Audio sound by 20. He gets up there. He was, he shuffles away. He was asked if he paused the weapons shipman. to Israel that they were going to purchase. And he just like wanders away.

Watch. Mr. President. Mr. President, why did you pause the shipment? Mr. President, Mr. President, why did you pause the shipment? He's shuffles. Now, see they all walk in front of him? He can't see how awkward he would. He walks like a toddler.

He's just, his gate is off. If you've had toddlers, you've seen them do that. And then he goes up to the, yeah, he's just not, I don't think that he can answer questions and talk at the same time. My favorite is when Trump whatever, whenever he would get on the helicopter and his aides, because he just, Trump would not shut up. He was like, sees the reporters, B-line. And his staff are like, my gosh, it's like if you're trying to get your kid to leave the playground and they run away. And you've got to go back and get them. and you could see his aides would just be visibly like,

well, come on, would you stop? They'd be yelling, Mr. President, Mr. President. And he would make a B-line over there. And he'd talk to him and, oh, man, it's funny. It was funny. Yeah, it just doesn't. This was from, I saved this today because we ran out of time to get it yesterday. This is audio sound by 12.

Biden, is he talking about, what is he talking about here? I guess he's talking about illegal immigration? Listen to this. Can you imagine a kid two years old saying, mom, don't take them across real granted. It's against the law. Give me a break. These have been model citizens. I'm confused.

They're not citizens. Yeah, they're not citizens, though. I mean, I'm confused beyond that. A, they're not citizens. B, is he saying that a two-year-old would say that or not say that? I never know what he's talking about. No, there's no other context with this. He just like pulled it out of the ether.

He's implying that a two-year-old would say anything like that and also know what the real grand is. But this is clearly the whole separation of families' narrative that they're trying to push. That started under his administration. Exactly. Yeah. It started under his administration. It began there. I just, you know, feels like that's very important context for that.

Got to say. And they're not citizens. Yeah. And they're not citizens. I So I have some other audio I want to make sure that we get to

And then there's a couple of Other First, can we do Let's start with this story I want to make sure I get This is some culture Disney Plus and Star Wars Golly

They just really want to ruin all this, don't they? So apparently there's an animated series called Tales of the Empire That is on Disney Plus and the show features a non-binary character that uses they-them pronouns. And I don't know why that's essential to the story.

And it's this, this, I haven't, I have not read anything about this. I just kind of avoid the Star Wars stuff anymore. But it's this character that, has a lightsaber and we got a clip of it, but they use they, them pronouns. Let me know when we have those. And it's, I just don't know why this is necessary for a kids show. Like, oh, we can't actually play it because it's just because they'll sue us. That's right.

I don't know why we, I, I, so they have this. How funny is that? It's news and it's fair use. Yep. But they are such litigious bastards at Groomer, uh, mouse kingdom that they will demonetize. everything we do and give us the issue a C&D and all this stuff. YouTube and Facebook are happy to do it. Yeah, and YouTube and Facebook go right along with it.

We have to fight this stuff every single day. You don't even know how many notices we get a week, even if it's like fair use, right? It's crazy how all of this, it's just gotten still litigious and so ridiculous. It's wild. Like what was it the thing that we got the notice about? And it was in the background. Oh, yeah. It was.

remember when the guy was waking up those protests? Oh yeah, the guy, this was at one of the, it was a Columbia and one of the guys used a good morning, Vietnam. And then they had like a rooster call and all of that. Well, they demonetize the whole thing and gave us a strike and sent us in all of this because that was part. And we had to contest it. That's like what we have to do like every week, multiple times a week we got to deal with this stuff, even though it's fair use. But, you know, heaven forbid. So this, I don't know why they put this in there.

Why the hell do you need this stuff in here? see this is why people are like may the fourth may the fourth be with you oh by the way here's your pronoun stuff why do you have to have a character that has they it's episode five of the series and they have like six shorts and this character is about to surrender to this j Jedi hunter it's an inquisitor and uh the another inquisitor strikes down the Jedi with a lightsaber and the inquisitor goes they're still alive we need to help uh get them to the ship we can save them and they keep and let them die, it's not worth of trouble. They were about to surrender.

The inquisitor argues, and they keep using they, then, they them. And then apparently it came out that Jay J.J. Abrams, who's apparently like just an absolute SOB, was saying that the, he had bragged that the rise of Skywalker would include like a scene between

like a gay, same-sex kids or whatever. And then he said it was important that, you know, alphabet, including the T's, be represented. And so I guess, And then they said that for the Trans Day of Visibility, the official Star Wars Instagram account had, they were unveiling and highlighting two trans non-binary Jedi. Seriously?

Two trans non-binary. By saying you're non-binary, you're binary. Yeah. Because now you're saying that there's binary and non-binary, which is binary. Your Jedi mind tricks won't work here. But it feels good. Yay. All the feels.

I but that's that's yay now one other thing our department of interior speaking of culture they interior secretary deb halland was asked because they have this thing where they keep talking about sustainable recreation what does that mean what if you hear sustainable recreation I don't know exactly what that. They talk about increasing outdoor access, improving recreational opportunities. Why is the government doing anything like that? Why? They have a whole sustainability subsection on their website, and they talk about improving

social, economic, environmental performance, and access. Are they trying to argue that, like, minorities can't access the outside? I mean, just to boil it all down, that's what it reads as. Wait, so they don't even know what computers are or what the outside is? What? So in one week, the left is arguing that not only do minorities not know what a computer is, they also don't know what the outside is. What the heck have they been paying attention to if they haven't been outside?

Good thing that Democrats are there to help. Democrats, they're there to help those dumb minorities who don't know anything about technology or the outdoors. That's what it sounds like. But how much more blatant does the racism have to be before people recognize it for what it is? I don't know. Again, Trump literally ate a taco salad and said happy Sanco to Mayo. And the left lost their ever-loving mind. It became Hitler that day.

Oh, my gosh. No, he was worse than Hitler that day. People are actually saying this. You guys remember that? They lost. He ate a damn taco salad and was all happy Sanco to Mayo. And everyone's like, wow, he's a racist. What?

The left can say they know nothing. of the outdoors or of computers. Yeah. And everything's fun. I just... I don't understand these people. I don't understand. I don't get any of those.

Yeah, I was looking at... Proactive, Sustainable, and environmental practices, and then access, like, socioeconomic... What does it even mean? What is this? All word salad. Hunting. Hunting.

Hunting's considered a way to... I'm all for getting more people to hunt. Sustainable recreation? Yeah. That sounds like, you know... such a these buzzwords and Deb Howland was asked about it and she's like I have no idea I don't I don't know I can't I can't define what it is she can't define what that is did you guys hear this story and I came this is one of those like it's almost like a guilty

pleasure story to read about it's not really political but it is cultural I am fascinated by people's fights on social media I usually don't get in them but I do like watching it and there was this big thing that exploded on Instagram where this chick who married this billionaire's family. And I, this dude looks like he's kind of soft. Catherine Asplunda. Very interesting last name. A billionaire family. She married the heir of this family and she found this lady on Instagram who has, who has the same name as her, Catherine Aspland. And she went viral because she started harassing this chick, demanding that he, demanding that the chick give up her Instagram name and her text like her messages to her went everywhere she said in her

messages hi I was wondering if I could purchase your username for you just got married and this is my new name and the lady goes oh congratulations that's my name too I googled it and it said selling my username would get me banned from Instagram and the Asplen lady goes well I purchased my username in the past and actually that's not true celebrities do it all the time that's how they have their names. So weird. I didn't know there were any other like, you know, named families out there. And then she goes, is there anywhere I can get you to change your username one more time? And the other lady says, no. And then she goes, I don't believe that that's your actual name. Like, who would make that their actual name? I reported you to Instagram and they're able to tell me

your real name. And I really hope I don't know you because that's going to be really embarrassing for you. And the other lady's just not entertaining it. She was like, you can report me. And she goes, just it. And my fiancee is too. And she's like, well, you're asking me to do something to get my account band. And she goes, well, you're pretending to be someone you're not. She's like, my name is actually Catherine Aspland also. And she goes, well, which is illegal? She's like, no, you're trying to harass me about purchasing my name. And so then she demands that this lady give her proof that that's her actual name. And she says, I mean, apparently the other lady is not even American. And now the story is everywhere. Now imagine, you're this chick. You hit the jackpot. You marry

this softy billionaire's family. And then you acting like an ass to strangers is just right after your wedding is out there for everybody to see. I mean, that's like really, you know, you can't just act like that. And oh my gosh, like what is what's wrong with these people? I had to share that story with you because I was greatly entertained. It was one of those things that just took me away from the horrors. That is the economy. The horrors persist and so must die. All right, we got to get moving. Steve wants to know what C3PO's pronouns are. I think that. Yeah, beep boopop. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Government motor, sorry, General Motors said Wednesday. It was right that it's going to end production of its

gasoline-powered Chevy Malibu this year so they can produce new electric vehicles with materials made in China. Yay. GM has sold more than 10 million. Malibu since 1964 and there's any production in November. Nothing says America American progress like ending the production of one of America's most iconic cars in favor of more EV feces. Yay! That is not a yay. Dozens of chickens escaped into Brooklyn, New York, into the road.

Even the chickens hate New York. Also, how in the hell are their chickens in New York? I guess they fell out of these trucks for blocks. This truck was just spitting chickens out into the street And these chickens were ever I would have literally like have had so much fun Chasing these chickens down Oh my gosh, I just

I like chickens I mean they're hysterical Chickens are funny But they stopped the traffic officers And everybody were trying to get cages And chasing them and they finally got the chickens And they took them to a secure area But that had to have been absolutely hysterical

This is what your attendees look like Before they're battered, look Chinese scientists created a mutant Ebola virus to skirt around biosafety rules, and it caused horrific symptoms and killed a group of hamsters. Because apparently no one ever learns. This is a sad day. Hundreds of gallons of whiskey spilled at Heaven Hill during a power outage. A lot of whiskey. Gone. It apparently was a director of this Kentucky distillation.

There was an outage at the facility, and a few hundred gallons of whiskey spilled. They said there's no cause of. concern to any of the surrounding probably happy neighbors. Stay with us.

Thanks, Corrine. New York Governor Kathy Hople made a controversial comment yesterday at the Milken Institute Global Conference while discussing the need to bring AI jobs to black and brown community.

She said, right now we have young black kids growing up in the Bronx who don't even know what the word computer is. What is the White House response to that? I want to be super mindful. I have not heard these comments, so I want to make sure I go back, read the comments, and get a sense of what was happening here. So I don't want to comment and be really mindful speaking at this podium on behalf of this president. So I just want to go back and see exactly. I know you're reading an excerpt or line from what she said, but I just want to be super, super mindful. here.

I don't believe it is right to assinue that black kids don't know what the world computer means. I mean, look, obviously we don't think that is the right way to speak about young people in any way in any form, but I do want to be mindful and to be fair here and go back and hear exactly what she said. I mean, he just told you what she said. That's exactly what she said. She's like, black kids in the Bronx have not.

ever even seen a computer. They don't even know what it is. That's what Kathy Hokel said. And so now KJP is going to be, oh, now she's going to be mindful. Now, welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you. Now she's going to be mindful. The same, I mean, good night. He just told you what she said. There's no, you don't need to like try to figure out anything else to it. I mean, it was pretty self-explanatory. good heavens but then there's also this again flash black

flashback mamala mamala Harris this is the mamala listen what else do we know about this population 18 through 24 they are stupid

that is why we put them in dormitories and they have a resident assistant they make really bad decisions. That is actually the smartest thing she's ever said. Ever. If she just did that over and over again, well, she probably wouldn't. It's not really great out, you know, get out the vote reach for that demo, but that's the smartest thing she's ever said. But KJP just said that we shouldn't be talking

about young people like that. I mean, you shouldn't be talking about them like that. It's, you know, I want to be really mindful of things and, you know, just like being mindful of stuff. How do Democrats always get away with this? It's so weird. I don't know. But speaking of KJP, so she was asked, again, Hamas agreed to the proposal that Hamas thought up. They negotiated with themselves. We, yes, we do like this agreement.

Don't we, Hamas. Oh, yes, yes. We like this proposal that we came up with and didn't even ask Israel about. So KJP was asked about some of the details of that compromise that was rejected because, remember, Israel was like, can we please have? have some of the hostages back, like maybe 40 of them? And Amma said, no. And so the U.S. then pressure to Israel, well, maybe reduce it a little bit. You're asking for too many people to come back. Maybe ask for fewer people to come back. So Israel is like, oh, my gosh.

All right. Hamas, can we at least have like, I don't know, like 33 hostages back? And so the U.S. looks at Hamas and is like, well, Hamas, can they have 33 hostages back? So then Hamas and this little thing that they negotiated with themselves with Egypt from Carter that came out this week, they're like, yes, you can have some of the hostages back, you know, alive or corpses. You can, which prompted Israel to go, wait, I'm sorry, what? First off, who is negotiated? What is this an offer? Is somebody negotiating this? And what did you just say about the hostages?

Yeah, 33 of the hostages back, you know, alive or corpses. But you can imagine, wait, did you say alive or corpses? I said 33 hostages. You can have them back. I'll have corpses. So like, are they alive or 33 hostages? I'll have a corpses. That was it. Hamas thinks, we'll just give them some dead hostages. And then it's the same thing as living hostages, right? So we get the credit for it. That's how they're looking at this. We'll just give them the dead hostages. I don't think they have any hostages alive anymore. I don't think they, I don't think they have, any, I mean, I would be shocked. I hate saying it, but I would be shocked. So they think that they

just thought, well, sure, we'll give you some of the remains of hostages back and that counts. So you can imagine why that wasn't an acceptable agreement. So anyway, KJP was asked about this. She was asked about, okay, so is the White House's view, should they, should they ask about the alive or corpses thing? Listen, I'll just send about one. On the hostage yield, is the White House's view that in the first phase, all hostages who are released should be alive? I'm not going to get into details. As you know, there are talks happening in Cairo that is incredibly important. And we want to support those talks. And so don't want to get into details from here. One thing that I can say is that from our assessments, it looks like the two sides should be able to come to a deal here, all these close.

deal here, I'll at least close the gaps to get to a deal. That's our assessment. I'm not going to get into details or specifics. Because one of the gaps seems to be that Hamas has suggested that some of the hostages that they would release would be dead. There would be bodies of hostages. Is that something that you think that the rest of them? I'm going to be super mindful.

This is, there are conversations happening in Cairo. I think it's important. We're going to support those talks that are currently underway. And our assessment is that is that. our closed assessment that the two sides, positions suggest that they should be able to close the gap here. And I think that's important. But it is our priority. What does that even mean? There was this episode of, and it's SC-CH-I-T-T-S-Schitt Creek. And it is one of the funniest television series I've ever seen. And there's an episode where Catherine O'Hara, who's costuming, I have never seen

anyone so immaculately dressed. She puts, everyone always talked about that sex in the city show as being so fashion forward. That's trash. That's hobo wear compared to what Catherine O'Hara wears. Anyway, there's a scene where she was making her mother's enchilada recipe. And her son, David, she's telling him what to do? She's like, okay, fold in the cheese. And he's like, fold in the cheese. What does that mean? And Catherine O'Hara had a very interesting affectation to her voice for this role. And she's like, I don't know, Dave. David, you just fold and the cheese. And he's like, okay, does that like stir in the cheese?

Mix it. How do you fold in the cheese? She's like, it says, David, fold in the cheese. And he's like, if you say fold in the cheese one more time. I got that vibe from this exchange. Because she's like, well, they're trying to close the gap for these negotiations, close the gap to make it happen. And he's like, so about the gap, does that, do you fill that with like dead hostages, the gap?

So, well, we're just closing the gap. Yes, you said closing the gap, but mindful of the gap, how does one close it here? Well, that's what we're exploring. The closing of the gap, that gap that exists to close, we're closing it. We're approaching that closure. So how, again, how is that done exactly with the hostages? Should they be alive to close it or dead? Does it matter just the gap, open or closed? Does it, the closing of the gap is the important thing? Do you see where we are?

That's what just happened in that exchange. And I don't know who that reporter is, but he's sitting there and he's just over. it he's like so about the gap it's so great this oh gosh that should just be it's you don't even need to make it a sitcom it's just a reality show it's too funny but they she was also asked because remember with this deal they you had Egypt again in the negotiation with Gaza and Hamas and Israel you had Egypt Hamas, Qatar, and the United States

all involved. Who's missing from that? And the negotiation for ceasefire between Gaza and Israel and you have Gaza present, you have Egypt present,

Qatar present, and the United States present. Who's missing? I think I have an answer. In the Gaza, Israel ceasefire negotiation, who's missing?

from this group that consisted of Egypt and Qatar, the United States, and Hamas. I'm going to go with, who is Israel for 500, Dana? And the answer is Israel, that is correct, Kane. Yes, Daily Double, that is correct, yes. It was Israel. So she was asked about this also, because apparently no one decided to tell Israel what was happening. Audio soundbite 4. To the fundamental question, which is we all recognize. these are difficult times. There's been too much loss on all sides. Everybody agrees. But in the simplest of terms, can you say declaratively that no one in this administration

was involved in some deal that was accepted by Hamas yesterday without having been previously communicated to Israel? What I can say this is an extremely difficult process. It is. Why can't the U.S. just say declaratively from the White House podium that the U.S. was not doing any side deals that Israel did know that? A side deal? There's no. Absolutely now. I didn't know that was the question. I can say absolutely not. No. There was no side deal. So what Hamas accepted yesterday is not a proposal the U.S. had ever heard before Hamas presented. Look, throughout this process, here's what I can say. American diplomats have been engaged with our Israeli counterparts on this throughout this process.

There was no side deal. I didn't realize that was a question you were asking me. Absolutely not. These are extremely difficult process right now that is happening. There are intermediaries that are in Doha, obviously today in Cairo. And so it is, it is not an easy process. Is there a side deal? to your question?

That is a no. But so let me ask you, in the clearest of terms, there was no one in the administration that was involved in conversations with Egypt and Qatar and Hamas about any proposal that Hamas accepted yesterday. No. But that's not what was reported. And that's also not really what Kirby alluded to either when he talked yesterday. Hmm.

Interesting, is it not? Very interesting. And it's also an embarrassing. for the administration. How ridiculous is this? This is so goofy. So yeah, there's not going to be any kind of, any kind of, any kind of deal with that. I want to switch gears here real quick. Can we just play audio sound by 13 because I don't want to miss this. So let's look up at America's hat. Canada. Justin Trudeau was talking about taxation. And he says he wants to tax the old people for their money. Listen. We made the decision to ask the wealthiest, often of older generations, whose money, works for them instead of necessarily them working as hard as these young people are for their money, for their salaries. We've raised the capital gain inclusion rate to make sure that the people who've done the best over the past years in a society and an economy that is tilted slightly towards them. He actually gets re-tilted a bit more towards the young people we need to continue to grow our economy along into the future. So first off, that's absolutely economically stupid.

and illiterate because they aren't magical because they're old, you know. Their money, they worked for their money. They started as the young people did and they lived longer and they worked all of these years to accumulate this savings and the money that they have. And now you're penalizing them for it because the people who are starting out like they did are starting out in the exact same way, but they expect to have the exact same amount of money is the old people now. So it's a seizure of income.

And you're penalizing them because they lived longer. That's how I'm reading this. Progress. Yeah, that's progress. Locastro. Can I just make, where are his shoulders? Like his neck slumps right into his elbows. What is with that?

I can't ever trust a man with no shoulders. That's weird. Like his neck just goes, shoot right into his elbows, right? It's weird. Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts, because knowledge is your ultimate superpower. Very clear, Senator, as you know, from the very beginning,

that Israel shouldn't launch a major attack in Arafa without accounting for and protecting the civilians that are in that battle space. And again, as we have assessed the situation, We paused one shipment of high payload munitions. And again, I think we've also been very clear about the steps that we'd like to see Israel take to account for and take care of those civilians before major combat takes place. We certainly would like to see no major combat take place in Rafa, but certainly our focus is on making sure that we protect the civilians. And we've, again, we've not made a final determination on how to proceed. It's not our job.

It's Hamas's job. That's Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin who's saying that, well, you know, we had to pause the shipment of ammunition that they purchased. To do some checks. Yeah, we had to do some checks. We had to re-examine the shipment, see? Yeah. We had to re-look it. Relook at it.

Look at it again. That's what it was. That's why it was delayed. What's even worse is as of now there's been no final decision regarding that shipment. Still, to this very moment. Well, they're still rechecking it. Is that we know? There are precision bombs.

Yep. Looks like there are. I'm going to need another day to look at them. Looking at them now. I'm going to need more days to look at them. That's good heavens. Precision. I have to share this joke with you.

One of friends on social goes by the name of Red Stees, because you know the RFK Jr. story he came out that he said he had a worm in his brain and then he was forgetful. The joke was that that's not even the worst thing that to ever happen to a Kennedy's brain. No, I'm not just thinking of JFK.

Who's the daughter? Like, didn't they have like a... Didn't he have an ant that they lobotomized? Yeah. Just saying. So there's other places that could have gone. So he only has the third worst Kennedy brain. Oh.

You said it, not me. Well, Red Stees said it. I just... Yeah, but you said it like that. I just clarified it. All right. I don't want to take up all your time. Today in stupidity.

All right. Well, it's going to be our vice president because you share this in Slack. Oh my gosh. I'm so excited about this. This is so cringe. I imagine this has to do with, because the large letters behind her is reproductive freedom, which off break, we had fun with that. This is our vice president, Kamala Harris, describing, I don't know,

I don't know, biology. Let me just tell you, you guys are going to have to be ready for this. Ready for certain language. And I said very loudly, ovaries. And falopian tubes. Oh, my gosh. Vibroids. Seriously, think that anybody's offended by fallopian tubes or ovaries.

Like, they've got to be so prepared for that. When this generation crumbles, if you accidentally misgender them. If you misgender them or if, yeah, they got mad over butter, dude, a butter box. So maybe you should go up there and say, you know, hey, be prepared to hear words like, you know, your own gender that you're not pretending to be. Or everybody grows some beans, you know, toughen up. All right, we got, it's our show. Make sure you find us on Subtack, Chapter and Verse, YouTube, Facebook, like and subscribe. I will be back behind the mic with you tomorrow.
