Interview with Dana Loesch

🎵 Oh yeah! Welcome to the show! On a Monday, another Monday, another beginning of a long work week. Let's get to the horrible shootings over the weekend. I used to say this. I said this, I don't know, a couple years ago. I put on the news every morning for this reason. It's probably going to happen again.

And you're right now. I mean, it's ridiculous. So you know about the shooting in El Paso at the Walmart and then the shooting at Ned Pepper's in Dayton, Ohio, where my niece Jenna went to school and has been in a bar many times. It's just sickening, but we'll get into the whole gun thing with Dana Lash because that's what she does, and that's at the bottom of the hour. I thought this was some of the most compelling footage, video, the Walmart

shooting, a guy actually hiding under a table. I've had this dream. I told you I've had state troopers point guns at me because they thought my buddy's car was stolen. They made us get out of the car and three guys on the tripod. And it scarred me mentally for a couple months. I had dreams. I can't imagine. I had nightmares about that. That lasted about 10 seconds. I can't imagine this. But take a look at this footage. Are you shit, Pete?

You shit me. That's what they tell you to do. They tell you not to run, but, you know, seek shelter. Because you could run into the guy if you don't know where he is or whatever. But I can't imagine the terror that the guy was feeling. And the shots went on forever. And it's just creepy. And, course and by the way i tweeted a tweet that caught all kinds of shit and this is before i just looked up i was now we get jets flying over

us that's why i love living here uh military jets in case everybody's getting pissed at me what i say today which they're going to uh what was i just talking about? I tweeted about the Walmart thing, and it was right at the beginning. There were no facts. Nobody knew fatalities. I was cooking in the kitchen, and I saw active shooter in Walmart. So I tweeted a tweet about active shooter in Walmart. They'll be the first person shopping there who could ever be considered active. Which includes me, by the way. I've spent more time at Walmart here in Georgia,

where they are heavy. But I caught some shit, even from my followers, who just don't get comedy. Well, it was a great joke, bad timing. Well, no, if I make this joke six months from now and everybody laughs at it, I had to go back on these people. That's the only time something like that's funny,

and it had nothing to do with the shooting. And I know this is going to be hard for you guys to understand that aren't comics, but I was commenting on Walmart shoppers, including myself, who's put on a few pounds. That's what that was about, and, you know, about fat Walmart shoppers. And, of course, people, you sanctimonious PC assholes who have ingested the PC culture uh start coming at me well somebody said well good joke bad timing well if I tell the joke six months from now everybody's gonna laugh at it are those people less dead then and

by the way it wasn't about that at all okay so uh that's what unfortunately that's what made it funny that's when it's you that's what made it funny. That's when it's, you know, otherwise it's just a fucking safe joke. And it wasn't about the, it wasn't even about that day. It was about a comment on Walmart shoppers. And secondly, my dad has Alzheimer's. He's dying of Alzheimer's. Should we stop those jokes too?

You people have, I know you're comedy fans, but you don't know about the first fucking thing about what comics do and what makes us tick okay so i i and i left it up there nobody had a problem with it twitter didn't have a problem with it just the sanctimonious assholes who love to virtue signal on on on on fucking twitter uh it is such a cesspools of assholes that's what i've learned about this country most after an incident like this. You know, the Puritans actually believed what they believed. You jerk-offs who pretend to be Puritan and you're worse than Puritans, you know why? Because you do it to virtue signal to other people. Look, I'm holier than thou.

At least the Puritans actually believed in this shit. So, you know, fucking take a comedy lesson. Sorry. I'm not backing down on that one. Anyhow, and this isn't about me anyways, but I'm just saying it's so typical of after an incident like this. But this jerk off, Patrick Crucius, he's an AK-47. Look, he looks like a young Alan Dershowitz is what he looks like. Is that not Alan Dershowitz in high school it really is uh anyhow he used an ak-47 which is an assault rifle from what I

understand again Dana might straighten me out on this an ar-15 is not an assault rifle and then in multiple articles I'm reading they go like they say it's an AR-15 style gun. Well, that's a semi-automatic. An AR-47 is an automatic. It's a machine gun. Kalashnikov. So you're reading the articles, and they don't even know how to define what it is. Okay, but that doesn't justify any of this shit.

Real quickly before I get Joe Biden proving again that he's not fit to be a president. You guys say that about Trump, which makes me belly laugh. Biden offers sympathy for the tragic events in Houston today and also in Michigan. Oh, what a fucking. Mistakenly refer to the shooters as tragic events used today and also Michigan. But later correct himself, according to a poll report. Sunday was not the first time Biden mixed up names on the 2020 campaign trail in may biden confused former british prime minister thatcher who left in 1990 with prime minister theresa may so he's a sexist

too he can't tell one broad from another uh you know what the president's words have meaning he says no matter who or she is they are the face of of America, Biden said at the Sunday funerary. He added that he does not hold President Trump personally responsible for the shooting, but noted that he has influence on the country. Thank you, Joe, for clearing that up. Biden reportedly also mentioned Trump referring to people crossing the southern borders as animals. That was back in April. Viral tweet claiming that he called all asylum seekers animals. That was false referring to him he was referring to ms gang members who chop people up with machetes big

dummy during a democrat primary debate last week biden uh misstated his frequent line about eight years of trump among other flubs he said we can't afford eight more years of trump we'll change america in a fundamental way trump at his best is going to get four. This guy's fucking retarded or too old. Why don't you just admit it? And that's your front runner. He's a real dope. I'll tell you. Just an asshole. That was a little digression. El Paso Walmart shooting Patrick Cruz is charged with capital murder. He turned 21 a week before the Walmart. Killed 20, injured 26. Alias of a surname, Brown.

21-year-old from Alpatrican. That's weird. Texas, a 10-hour drive from El Paso, being held without bail. We are going to see, we are going to aggressively prosecute it both as capital murder, but also a hate crime. Sheriff Richard Wiles, who oversees the jail, called it a racist. I love how when this shit goes down, they don't hesitate to say white male. But if this was the other way around, a terrorist attack, somebody of Middle Eastern descent,

the president, everybody else would be out there going, hold your judgment, hold your judgment. I love how cavalier they are when it comes to a white fucking suspect. The double standard, you know it all. But the sheriff, Richard Wild, says, this Anglo man came here to kill Hispanics, he wrote on Facebook. I'm outraged. You should be too. This entire nation should be outraged. In this day and age, with all serious issues we face, we are still confronted with people who will kill another for sole reason other than color of skin. If you read his manifesto,

it has nothing to do with color of skin. And he also said they're going to blame this on Trump. He also admitted that he had these views way before Trump came on the scene. But again, this is all doesn't fit the narrative of the mainstream media who went on their typical fucking, you know, typical, they turn into a political thing, a gun control thing, two seconds after it happened. Anyways, he graduated from Plano Senior High School in 2017 before enrolling in Collin College. And then not even, what, 14 hours later, Dayton, Ohio, Connor Betts, 24, shot dead, 9, including his

own sister. Here's a picture of him eating his own turd. I love how they put him in a fucking, you know, let's find the whitest guy, you know. Let's get him with his Wall Street suspenders and shit. But just a psycho. And he has a history of it.

And I'll read it to back up for you people who are so hell-bent on gun control. Six of the nine victims were African-Americans. The police have said they don't think it was targeted discrimination because of the short timeline of the massacre. But if, you know, if Obama was still in office and Eric Holder, that would be a whole different tune. But they're not ruling it out. You know, like I said, as opposed to when it's a terrorist attack from a Middle Eastern guy, we have to bite our tongues. Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley put up a gun and used a high-powered rifle,.223 caliber, high-capacity magazines and extra magazines.

And then there's a list of all the... It's sickening. list of all the uh it's it's sickening uh and somebody writes uh why does dayton have to be the 250th mass shooting this year in 2019 there's 250 mass shootings and i know when you heard that like me said what how is that possible how come i've only heard about four or five of them or three of them i'll tell you why that is you know the definition of a mass shooting is more than four innocent people shot, you know, for no reason. And you're going, well, yeah, where are the rest of the ones? Where's the rest of them? That will be in Chicago on the weekends. We don't count those when drug deals go bad if four people are shot. Or we do count them, but we don't talk about them on CNN and MSNBC. And those are done

by handguns, most of them. But these are all the dirty secrets that the left want to, you know, keep secret. Background on Chet's found that he did not have a violent background, a criminal background. The probe had not uncovered any concealed weapon permits for him. Betts' former high school principal, Chris Baker, the Dayton News how how the Ohio shooter was suspended from school for writing a hit list on a bathroom wall uh sparking a lockdown. There was uh many flags here too apparently. He also had a list of girls he wanted to sexually assault. So once again, what's my point? Proving he's a psychotic. It's not the fucking instrument in his hand.

He's crazy. Anybody who does a mass shooting is crazy. You could argue that the Chicago shootings and Ferguson and all the inner city shootings, the people are doing it to survive. But these people are fucking, you know, the drug dealers, I mean. They think they're justified. But anybody who does what happened this weekend is psychotic. But let's not bring that into the picture.

Records from Kettering Municipal Court reveal that he had received two speeding tickets. Ooh, in 2013 and 2014. What a fucking rebel. Police have not confirmed the motive. How about he's batshit crazy? Moron Betts. There's some great footage of Betts. Here's the video of the cops.

He chased people out of the bar. He was going into another bar to do more damage. And the cops showed up like in 30 seconds. God bless them. The Black Lives Matter who of the bar. He's going into another bar to do more damage. And the cops showed up like in 30 seconds. God bless them. The Black Lives Matter who hate the cops. And again, you won't hear about any of this. But again, former classmates told the Associated Press that Betts was suspended during his junior year at suburban Bellbrook High School after a hit list was found scrawled in a school bathroom. That followed an early suspension after Betts came to school with a list of female students

that he wanted to sexually assault. Danger, Will Robinson. I mean, how... Danger, no, Will Robinson. Another case of somebody dropping the ball, in my opinion. Not to point fingers, but if you're going to point fingers at Trump, I'm going to point fingers at you. There was a kill list and a rape list.

My name was on the rape list, said a female classmate, a former cheerleader. The woman said she didn't really know Betts, was surprised when a police officer called her cell phone during her freshman year to tell that her name was included on a list of potential targets. Anyways, the officer said he wouldn't be at school for a while, she said, but after some time passed, he was back walking the halls. They didn't give us any warning that he was returning to school. Jesus Christ. The discovery of the hit list early in 2012 sparked police investigation.

Roughly one-third of Bellbrook students skipped school out of fear because they're smarter than the people supposed to be protecting them. Anyways. supposed to be protecting him uh anyways uh there was an incident in high school with a shooter that should have prevented him from ever getting his hands in a weapon this was a tragedy that was 100 percent avoidable he wrote on twitter a post this is drew gainey so uh gainey did not respond to messages from apc can further comment but the name on his account matches that of a former Bellbrook student who was on the track team with Betts. Again, proving that the guy's psychotic has been forever. Sent up flags. Missed. Alright, this has gone on enough where, you know, that should jump out at law enforcement. And then, of

course, the Dems, the candidates, the most cynical people on the planet are Democrats. i've said that forever because it's all about power politics is a game to them they don't give a shit they jumped on this tried to turn this into a political thing first uh the fucking genius skateboard rider beto o'rourke had this to say the american people understand what is being done in their name by the person who holds the highest position of public trust in this land. He does not even pretend to respect our differences or to understand. And you don't pretend that you're turning this into a political football.

That's how stupid you are. Go back to do what you were doing, smoking pot and going to concerts. What a fucking jerk are. Go back to do what you were doing, smoking pot and going to concerts. What a fucking jerk off. Go ahead. We are all created equal. He is saying that some people are inherently defective or dangerous, reminiscent of something that you might hear in the Third Reich, not something you expect. Oh, a Nazi reference.

You're breaking some new ground, you dick. I'm a fucking idiot. Some new ground, you dick. I'm a fucking idiot. In the United States of America, based on their religion, based on their sexual orientation, based on their immigration status, based on the countries that they come from, calling those in Africa shithole nations and saying that he'd like to have more immigration from Nordic countries, the whitest place on planet Earth today. So?

So, again, let's be very clear about what is causing this and who the president is he is an open avowed racist and is encouraging more racism in this country and it i can't listen to this fucking idiot let's be clear about who you are a cynical political left-wing hack and you're part of the democrat party which is complicit with cnn msnbc for the last 40 years cherry picking racial stories you guys have been throwing gas on the fire and you're just adult let's play the next asshole cory booker who also had the same line. Surprise, surprise. We have a president of the United States who is particularly responsible.

I, in my faith, have this idea that you reap what you sow. And he is sowing seeds of hatred in our country. And this harvest of hate violence that we're seeing right now lies at his feet. When you have the president from the highest moral office in our land talking about invasions and infestations and shithole countries the kind of things that come out of his mouth that so harm the moral fabric of our nation he is responsible who said that who the fuck said that who's the slimy little communist shit-twinkle-toed cocksucker down here who just signed his own death warrant? You're a wormy cocksucker, you know that? Is that right, Beto and Booker, that this is because of Trump?

Is that right? You want to play that game? Then Bernie Sanders is responsible for Steve's police almost being murdered and all the other Republicans on the ball field that day. Would you agree with that? Because I didn't hear that come out of you, you fucking empty heads. Then there. And you know what? How about Obama? How about all the cops were killed and all the riots under Obama? Did Trump start that shit too? Obama, who was best friends with Jeremiah Wright, who's best friends with Louis Farrakhan. If you want to play the blame game. So it was, you know, because Obama came out after those shootings in Pittsburgh at the synagogue, you know, basically blaming Trump and blah, blah, blah. But Obama got a pass, didn't he? blah blah blah but Obama got a pass didn't he during those riots and uh five cops gunned down in Dallas and then a couple nights later three more in Baton Rouge not to mention the two new

NYPD cops that were executed in their fucking cars just sitting there because of Obama and Eric Holder's anti-cop sentiment. Obama actually gave a speech at the UN saying this is what black people face in America. He wasn't in office a couple months. He went after, remember Louis Gates, the professor from Harvard? When a cop in Cambridge thought he was breaking into a house, Obama came right out.

He was brand new to the Oval Office and said cops can be stupid sometime. And more and more anti-cop rhetoric. And cops get killed because of that. And I know a cop who had a black partner. And even the black partner said before Obama got in office, people seemed to be getting along in the beat that they were walking. That came from a black cop in Miami. So but let's give him a fucking pass. And by the way, if you're looking for comedy in the first half of the show, you're not going to get it. I'm being a pundit today

because I don't control the fucking morbidity, is that a word? Of what goes on over the weekends. But I love how Obama got a pass. And this notion. We have 279 million guns

on the streets of America. Yes, and here's my logic to you idiots. You could eliminate all but 200 of those guns. Let's say there were 200 guns in the country. If they got in the hands of these two fucking creeps, these people would still be dead.

It's not the instrument. It's, you know what, these people would still be dead. It's not the instrument. It's, you know, it's not too many guns. It's too many mentally ill people. And we have thousands and thousands of gun laws on the books that aren't being enforced. You guys all know the arguments. But once again, the left take, they take that emotional because it's about power it's about votes they don't give a fuck i'm so cynical and and people you know some people laugh and some people don't you'll find out george soros is behind this five years from now that's quite a leap nick i don't give a shit i'll be as cynical as the left

i'm fucking believable they get so emotional, no logic, no reasoning whatsoever. And Kamala Harris is raising money on this shooting. She's doing a fundraiser based on this. What are you going to do, take away all the guns? Are we going to have this argument again? A well-armed population is a safe population, in my opinion. It's what keeps us from getting invaded. is a safe population, in my opinion.

It's what keeps us from getting invaded. Neil DeGrasse Tyson, who's always on Bill Mars, he's a brilliant astrophysicist, scientist. He's brilliant, okay? And the left is always kissing this guy's ass. But he came at the party of science

with some empirical evidence, which they usually love so much, but it didn't fit their narrative. So now he's getting torn to shreds. He tweeted out, on average, across any 48 hours, we also lose after these shootings, 500 to medical errors, 300 to the flu, 250 to suicide, 200 to car accidents, 40 to homicide via handgun. And then he put often our emotions respond more to spectacle than to data. Oh, don't be bringing reasoning and logic into this, which is exactly it's the spectacularity of these events. Like I said, black people and brown people get killed on the weekends.

But, you know, we have this morbid curiosity about when something like this happens. Let's ignore the fact that 80% of gun crimes are handguns and focus on this. And then you can have the argument about the AR-15, which is not an assault rifle, by the way. It's a semi-automatic rifle. The AK-47 that was used at Walmart, that's an assault rifle. But you can trick out an AR-15 or whatever. But again, let's not ignore the fact that 80% of shootings are handguns. And those are factored into those statistics of the 240-something mass shootings.

Because the definition of a mass shooting is any more than four people. Which goes on on the weekend at a cookout, for Christ's sake, in a lot of towns. Those are factored in there too, but don't bring that up. And here's another fact. I don't know if it's true or not, but I read this. No NRA member has ever committed a mass shooting. Again, I don't want to bring logic and reason into it. So Neil deGrasse put that up there. And of course, you know, they love him until he goes against their marriage. Then he'd get torn to shreds on Twitter. In the past 48 hours, by other accounts, several celebrities,

I'd even bother because the celebrities make me so crazy. Verified Twitter accounts condemn Degrass Tyson's tweet with some even urging him to take it down. See that? Take it down. We disagree. Shut your mouth. Take it down. You have no right to.

Other accounts threw obscenities at the Harvard grad without addressing his direct points, including the official account for the band Smash Mouth. So you better take it down. Neil, you better take it. Smash Mouth just weighed in. Can we get a fucking quote from Bananarama? And maybe the surviving members of the Monkees might have something to say about it.

And of course, what did he do? Neil deGrasse Tyson apologized. and of course what did he do neil degrasse tyson's uh apologize and you know and and my guest coming up in a few minutes dana lash she actually has been quoted saying don't bend a knee to the raging mob i'm paraphrasing or whatever and that's just what he did neil degrasse tyson issued an apology after his tweet about the mass shooting deaths in el paso and dayton was slammed as insensitive. But not everyone is accepting his mea culpa. Fuck you. Who do people think you are, honestly?

My intent, he says, was to offer objectively true information that might help shape conversations and reactions to preventable ways we die. This goes over all the idiots' heads who are blinded by their rage and their emotions. He offered this on Facebook. He said, where I miscalculated was that I genuinely believed the tweet would be helpful to anyone trying to save lives in America. What I learned from the range of reactions is that for many people, some information, my tweet in particular, can be true but unhelpful, especially at a time when many people are either still in shock or trying to heal or both no you offered it when it was relevant and again uh the party who loves science and empirical

evidence just went shithouse on a guy who they consider brilliant 364 days a year but how about the fact they're going to take it down hey Hey, how about fuck you? That's what you should have said, Neil. But I know, you know, that's not how an astrophysicist talks. Unless the Russians beat us to some. Un-fuck them. The sanctimony on the left, it always comes on display. But like I said, if you want to blame Trump for all this shit, even though in the guy's manifesto in El Paso, said it had nothing to do with him or whatever.

And I can see how you guys in the mainstream media are making that link. I put on Joy Reid just to see the next morning. She's got some idiot on there. It's no doubt it's Trump's fault. You guys are just stupid. Okay, it's Bernie's fault. And it's Obama's fault the cops are dead. If that's what you want to say, i'm gonna say that which i really don't

believe because i i'm thinking with a clear head i'm sorry his semi his some quick uh... quick statistics put up the the the almost all guns used in crimes uh... graph will dish all this one because i think we get dana coming on put up the graph book let's see all all gone almost all guns used in crimes are illegally obtained or possessed. 43% of the street or underground is where they come from.

25% illegal straw purchase that's bought from someone. They're trying to pass a bill in the house, by the way. Even if you do like a private sale, they're going to hold on to the gun until you clear the blah, blah, blah... 7% found at the scene. So the point being, I won't even get to the race aspect of it because then you guys will start crying. But again, more statistics and whatever. But somebody who knows a ton about this

and who I respect immensely and have for a long time, ex-NRA spokesman Dana Lash. She's a provocateur. She's outspoken. She's smart as hell. Former paid NRA spokesman. She's got successful syndicated radio shows, best-selling author, Blaze TV.

She's done it all, and she is joining us right now, and I can't thank her enough. Dana, how are you? Good to see you, and finally, kind of meet you. Good to see you, too, Nick. Been a fan for a long time. I used to watch Tough Crowd. That's when I first saw you. And you were probably, what, 14? That's what bumps me. No, I was older than that. I was older than that, but no, it was a great show, so it's good to talk with you. Same here. Dana, let's get to you know you know way more about guns and let me ask you real quick before i get to the the event of this weekend why are you what drew you to become such a pro gun advocate was it a personal incident i read

like your grandfather taught you to shoot a bb gun was what why do you have such you know why are you so pro gun i guess is what i'm. Well, I definitely come at it from a very personal experience. And I think, you know, everybody arrives at why they support Second Amendment rights. I guess, you know, people support it in different ways. Some people just, you know, straight no chaser, just what it says in the Constitution. Some people like me, you know, why I always supported the Second Amendment. some people like me, you know, why I always supported the Second Amendment. It was just, you know, I wasn't a huge hunter, and I didn't carry when I was in college, even really until I was probably about 25 years old. But I wrote about it in my first book, Hands Off My Gun,

and I had an experience that involved an aunt of mine and her estranged, violent husband. aunt of mine and her estranged violent husband. And as a result of that relationship, she fled to my grandparents' house. And I was just a little kid and I was staying with my grandparents. It was towards the end of summer. And he came looking for her. And my grandpa was armed and he was on the front porch. And it was a very rural area. So while they did actually call the law, as my grandma would always say, just call the law. Call the law. Just make sure you do that, Howard. While he did call the police, it took like 20, 25 minutes for them to show up because it's a huge area in southern Missouri out in Iron County.

And so it's not like having a police headquarters down the street. So you kind of have to take care of yourself a little bit until first responders or law enforcement can arrive. And so that's exactly what he did. And he stood out on the front porch. And actually, he sat down on the porch swing, I heard him sit on it. And that was that was it. And I felt I went from feeling terrified as a kid, because it's the most when you actually think that your life is in imminent danger, and you realize that the person who's going to carry out something horrifically evil like that has the means and the will to do it, it's a terror that I don't want anybody else to ever experience. But I felt safe because I was confident in my grandfather's skill and I knew that he would protect his family. I knew that he was very able to do so.

And so that gave me a sense of security and it gave me a sense of comfort. And then as I grew older and I got into politics and I got into talk radio, had a couple of incidents. And I actually had the former chief of police in St. Louis tell me, look, girl, you need to get your concealed carry license. It's getting a little bit too much and police can't always be there when something goes down. And so that's exactly what I did. And I'm not scared and I'm not paranoid because I carry. So it was an intensely personal thing for you. Let me ask you this sort of related to that. What if you and again, what if you lost a relative or a really close person to a mass shooting like this?

Would it change your views your your logic at all because this always comes up people always what happened it happened to you would it change how you think or i mean i i i hate playing into the hypotheticals of it and i and i don't want to put myself in a position where i am in any way trying to uh empathize in a way that I don't have the ability to do so because that is a tiny club, those people who've gone through something so horrific. If something like that, you know, if evil were to befall me or befall my family, I would absolutely put the blame where it's supposed to go on the person who did it. You know, it's not a loophole if you commit a crime, you know, you know, Nick, if you have a suspended license and you're out there driving around on a suspended license and you get pulled over, you

can't just tell the cop, well, you know, it's a loophole that allows me to do this. No, it's still a criminal act. I mean, I like how we're trying to redefine how criminality is, what it's called and how it's defined by calling it a loophole, but that's not how it works. But I would want to put the blameware on the murderer and figure out what went wrong and definitely not go out and blame other innocent people or inanimate objects, because I think we excuse evil and we excuse people of their own volition

doing something so heinous to each other. How dare you try to place the blame on the people who actually did it. In 2019 in America, it really is really is it makes me let me ask you this and i know like uh on on a weekend like this um you get sick into your stomach a pit in your stomach obviously because it's a horrific tragedy but also because you must have a pit in your stomach on a second level because you've sort of you've put yourself out there and you know the blowback you're going to get on social media and you're well known i mean author radio show well what

and and i noticed you respond to these people a lot of them um but you get that when you hear these shootings like this weekend you're like oh boy i'm gonna have to defend myself the next 48 hours you get like a pit in your stomach stomach because you're such a lightning rod now? Well, I think the first thing that I feel is I just will obviously sicken. You're sickened over it. And when you hear places like Walmart, I mean, Walmart for back to school shopping, you know, I mean, these are just two things that don't go together. Mass murder and Walmart back to school shopping. It is, I think it shows you how prevalent evil is. And it makes me sick and it makes me sad. And then, of course, I immediately start thinking how many families are broken today, how many people are going to be picking up the pieces of their lives. I think when you are, and Nick, you know this because you've been doing this for so long.

When you're in the public sphere and you're talking about anything that even can be remotely construed as controversial, I mean, you're always going to get stuff. And you're talking about anything that even can be remotely construed as controversial. I mean, you're always going to get stuff. I hate that we in the United States can't have, with all of our free speech, we can't actually have a serious discussion with nuance about what needs to be done and what can be done immediately to prevent further things like this from happening. But the hatefulness, I don't even, what people don't realize is that's about 10 of the stuff i get the serious stuff never people don't even know the serious stuff because i won't put it out there but um i i i when i say god bless to people i'm not being uh smart aleck about it right maybe 10 years ago if you asked me that i definitely would be um but i'm genuinely not being smart aleck about it i just wish that people would kind of get a sense of perspective

when they talk about this stuff. And people can be mad, and it's a scary thing. And I think some people don't know how to react with all that fear and anger. When you say God bless, because when I read it, too, because I'm like... You read it in a Southern way. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, you do. Like homeless people in New York homeless people anyway

when you don't give them a buck they say God bless but they say it a fuck you way have a blessed day they might as well be saying stick it up your ass which I know that's the northeast way maybe I don't know what else do I want to ask you here

what do you say to these people these critics of yours and of Republican politicians, by the way, speaking with Dana Lash, that say, look, the Republicans and the right-wingers in D.C., they are controlled by the NRA and all the money that pours in from the lobbyists. What's your answer? Is that a legitimate B for? I'm asking sincerely because I don't know the answer. I know what you're saying because I think it's a big talking point that goes around. I don't speak for the organization, but they are, when you look at

the amount of money that is given in lobbying, they're not even in the top 10. In fact, I don't even think they're in the top 20. There are a lot of other organizations out there who outspend them hand over fist. And one of the other things that I think people need to realize too, is that, you know, organization like that, or an organization like Gun Owners of America, these are literally just people all across the country from all walks of life that get together. And they're like, you know what, why don't we pull our money together and see if we can protect some of the things that we value. But yet the moment that they do that, they're demonized by a lot of politicians who are more than happy to take Planned Parenthood's money. And then they get an additional, you know, half a billion dollars in taxpayer money with it.

I mean, you know, that's if you're if we want to talk about lobbying and where our money goes. So they're not even Nick, they're not even heavy players. And which that's not where the muscle comes from. The muscle and the real power of law abiding gun owners comes from them voting. I mean, this is I mean, these people are they will be there on voting day. In fact, they're early voters. They will be there for the early voting period. They will be first in line. They're very dedicated voters and they always have been.

And that's the key to the power. dedicated voters, and they always have been. And that's the key to the power. Let's get to the specifics of the weapons used this weekend. And in the Walmart shooting in El Paso was, as I understand it from what I'm reading, AK-47. Is that correct? Yeah, I think it was on the AK platform. I don't know if it was like a WASR-10 or something like that, but it was on that platform. It kept saying AK ak-47 which is an assault rifle right as opposed to an ar-15 which you can trick out an ar-15 is a semi-automatic is not an assault they keep using that term across the board right yeah the so the basic and i saw the new york post they had a cover uh the cover of their magazine today is we need to ban weapons of war and then they had this huge editorial where they were talking about how we have to ban assault weapons. And we got to be real. The reason that I say we

have to be careful about terminology, and I get some blowback from people on the left about this, it's not because I'm trying to be, you know, a control freak with your words. It's just it's because there are certain legal ramifications that come into play, literally based on the language that is used. And we're talking about the difference between felonies and misdemeanors. I mean, this is pretty serious stuff. So if we're as passionate as we claim to be about it, we've got to use the proper terminology to reflect the different regulations that come into play. And so when you look at a phrase like assault weapon, assault weapon is not a real word. That's something that came up in the 90s.

Now, if you way, way back, and I think it's the Army guide, the Department of Defense had a field guide for the military, wherein they one time defined assault rifle as being a rifle that is fully automatic or capable of select fire. So what that means is, you know, everybody knows what full auto means. Select fire is usually like three round burst. A semi-automatic rifle is not considered even by that guidebook which is not even really used in the military that phrase that's not considered to be an assault weapon or an assault rifle semi-automatics only are semi-automatics and it's actually a felony to try to trick it out make it to be full auto or do anything like that

it's simply just a modern sporting rifle um and and you have the ak platform you have the ar platform i won't go into the weeds on that but it's it's basically look at it like this the ar-15 is kind of you can customize it sort of in the way that people can do jeeps uh how you can you know order stuff from the factory you can get stuff from different places you can customize a jeep i mean that's kind of that's sort of similar. But we cannot you cannot have people on the street. They can't go over to Wal-Mart and buy a full auto, full auto firearm. They can't go into Wal-Mart and purchase the select fire capacity firearm. Those things are what we call NFA items. NFA is the National Firearms Act.

Things like suppressors, which are not silencers, things that are full auto that's covered under the National Firearms Act, things like suppressors, which are not silencers, things that are full auto, that's covered under the National Firearms Act. So while you can actually purchase it, you don't see gangbangers and people out there purchasing them because you're looking at a minimum of like $20,000, $25,000 because of that, because they really control the supply. And we don't even have instances of that even happening. The biggest offenders, if you want to talk about these inanimate objects used in crime, it's handguns that are bought on the black market by drug dealers and gang banks. I read 80% of shootings are done by handguns. And this is in Chicago on the weekend and other urban places. And they factored that because the definition of a mass shooting, as you know, is like four or more people.

And they factored those numbers. And they said those numbers in. They said we've had 249 mass shootings in 2019. Again, to paint Trump like it's Trump's fault. But they don't, that's the dirty secret. They factor in those handguns. On Chicago, you read what happens every weekend. And you can go online. People can go online and look for this.

And it's actually not as difficult as it sounds they're called fbi uniform crime reports you can even google it it'll it'll take you to a web page fbi web page you can go and look by year and you can literally see how many times rifles were used in crimes now where it concerns semi-automatic rifles they're used in less than two percent of all crimes and here's an important point the reason that that phrase going back to that what you had said the assault weapon is being used yeah but being used to purposely conflate it with semi-automatic rifles right so as so to confuse people so that we can have a there can be more momentum on a ban of semi-automatic firearms period so when you hear people talking about assault weapons or assault rifles, ask them to define it, because what they're talking about really is some automatic firearms.

Right. Let me get your reaction. Again, we're talking to Dana Lash, a former paid spokesman for the NRA. You're on the blaze still, right? No, I do. I have a radio show that 12 to 3 Central that Radio America. a radio show uh that uh 12 to 3 central that radio america yeah yeah across the country and um i do some other television stuff and i have a third book coming out this spring which is ironically enough uh about grace and politics so that's going to be interesting grace and what's that going to be a pamphlet uh let me let me get your reaction uh to the left's typical reaction of blaming Trump. And my take on it is that, okay, if you want to play that game, then Bernie Sanders is responsible for the Scalise shooting. Obama's responsible for all the death of the cops in Dallas that night in Baton Rouge.

And, I mean, you have one side using logic and one just using pure emotion. What's your take on – I mean Kamala Harris is raising money already on this. Yeah, I saw that. That's awful, which I'm not surprised. I wish that people – I think it's a disgusting game when people do it, for instance. And I think that this is a – it's kind of a Rorschach test when you look at how the media has reacted and politicians have reacted to these two horrific cases that took place over the weekend. The first individual in El Paso, I think everyone's attributing him to Trump. If they read his very trolling manifesto, which I question his sincerity of writing it. I mean, he says a number of things that don't

exactly jive with the Republican platform. They don't, they're not of things that don't exactly jive with the republican platform they don't they're not actually things that that i don't think that the president would support and then when you look at uh he brings up the environment he brings up the environment he's anti-corporatist and he quoted the lorax for crying out loud i mean the the seussification of environmentalism i only know left is doing that right but when you look at the other this other monster in Dayton, this guy was a Democrat and he was a proud Elizabeth Warren supporter. And he he actually has stated that he wanted gun control and he wants things like gun control to come from this. And so the way that they're being treated in the media is interesting because there's more evidence there to link him to link this murder in dayton to these to democrat candidates and to progressive issues but i think it's disgusting if people do that as well because if we fall into that game what we're doing is excusing the natural perpetrator exactly evil exists and we've got to stop excusing it and sugarcoating it by saying things like loophole or like oh well it was the

rhetoric that led to this no i mean and and that gets that gets me worried about uh free speech when we start blaming individuals for the actions of criminals because we don't like what they say uh that's dangerous territory too it's the murderer that's done it and everybody needs to chill out about it well can't i know can't we agree on that regardless of your politics anybody who does something like this has a screw loose i mean that's where that's where it starts and they look right over that no i agree it's a cynical take but anyways and i love the fact that you know your take was blame the people who were doing it which we've lost sight of that in this country a long time ago yeah and how can how do we how do we solve this issue and how do we stop more attacks and more acts of terror and horrific

mass killings like this if we can't even blame the people who were doing it i that's the question that makes me nuts too because right after something like this happens that question how do we prevent this from ever happening again right you can't in my opinion you can slow it down but as long as there's mental illness in a country of 330 million people, you can't. And I said earlier in the show, we have 279 million guns. I said, if we only had 10 guns left in this country, if these two idiots got a hold of them, most people would still be dead tonight. It's not the inanimate object. I'm so tired of it.

I can't even. But anyways, Dana, I can't thank you enough. You're out there every day. And it's like, I said, it's like being a black conservative. You take punches constantly. And well, you do, too, because you're you're pretty outspoken in what you do. And I know particularly with your industry, it is not easy. And I you I think you made for a long time. I think you've made a huge impression on a lot of people, myself included with your uh just being brave and going out and saying it like it needs to be said well i appreciate that and i'm flattered by coming from somebody as successful as you what's the radio show is it dana radio what's it called yeah yes yeah dana radio you can um uh listen to it uh online if you can't get it in one of your markets and the podcast is up on itunes as well are you cherokee and irish i have some cherokee ancestry and i have some very recent irish ancestry too

how's your liver how's your liver i know it explains a lot dana thank you so much it was a pleasure to meet you appreciate it pleasure to meet you thank you all right take care appreciate it pleasure to meet you thank you all right take care uh dana lash everybody and uh i mean she's out there and uh that's what i liken it to like uh being a clarence tom or you know a black person who leans right in his politics just taking a beating every day of your life whether it's on social media the mainstream media and uh she uh you know she puts herself out there. And of course she's hated. Anytime you're for logic, like even Neil deGrasse Tyson, when you bring some logic and reason, actually empirical evidence, you're called a shithead today.

You should be blinded by your rage and your emotion and whatever. But thank you again, Dana, for joining the show. Let's lighten it up a little, shall we? Even though I have a sad story at the end, because somebody I know was affected by violence in the comedy community this weekend. It's what a dark frigging weekend, man. That's why I laid on the couch and had an IV of Jack Daniels and it still didn't kill the pain.

But I said to Rich Wood, give me something funny, will you? And he found a couple of fucking gems. This lady, I was offended. I was offended. Woman says, mechanic offered her to lower price if she lifted her shirt.

God help me. He said, look, if you pull up your shirt and show me your breasts, then I will go ahead and knock the price down. I wish I had that option. I wish there were women mechanics. But then again, if they said, show me your pecker, it would cost me twice what they would charge me in the first place. Yeah, because that would deck show.

Well, kind of. This was in Ferguson, Missouri. One of the lightest stories to come out of Ferguson. She wanted an estimate from a body shop to fix a car, but she claims what she got was an offer involving her body. A Ferguson woman said a mechanic sexually harassed her when she took her car to the quick stop tire shop. They didn't burn that place down?

They got a mechanic to come and get in the car with me so that he can ride up and down the street to see what was wrong with it, Cantrella Huntley said. She said, well, Cantrella, somebody Google that. Sort of Cinderella, black Cinderella, I'm guessing. I don't know. She said, well, she was in the car with that mechanic. He made an indecent proposal.

He said, look, if you pull up your shirt, this reminds me of Seinfeld. Remember the boy in the bubble episode? I'll send you. I forget who the woman was. It might have been Elaine. It was somebody. Some George's girlfriend comes in the room, and he goes, take off your top. Nick, that's sexist.

I know, but so goddamn funny. Anyways, he said, look, if you pull up your shirt and show me your breasts, then I'll go ahead and knock the price down. Cantrell immediately said no. What a stuck-up broad, huh? And when they got back to the shop, she left and called the police. Good for you. I would, too.

There's no need of this type of shit. That boy is a P-I-G pig. The owner wouldn't talk to the station on camera, but he said that they showed up minutes after the police left. He denied his mechanic sexually harassed Cantrella because he said the mechanic doesn't really speak English. Durka durka, Muhammad Jihad. Haka sherpa sherpa, bakala.

Bakala means lift your shirt. I know that in Farsi. She said he did have an accent, but his message was clear. What he pretends in front of them is totally not what he said to me. I totally heard what he said. He told me to lift my shirt and show my body, she said. But you don't have opening? No.

But why not? That's the guy when he got the job. It's a shame, she says. When does it stop? When do we get our respect, she said. And obviously the answer is when you lift your shirt. Again, just kidding, everybody. This guy's a piece of shit, and he should be fired immediately.

Who's with me? Show me your breast. Show me your nipples. I'd like to see. I'll knock $12 off the transmission. That's what would have come next if she did it. You know, he would have judged them. That's how you base the horrible.

Another thing from my fixer, Rich Wood. Do you see this video? Which is, I don't know, if you, my fixer Rich Wood, uh, do you see this video? Which is, uh, I don't know if you, you know, it's kind of, uh, I guess I'm ashamed to say that you can look at this as porn. That's where my mind is at, but a Japanese woman, uh, watch this, this is fucking creeping me out. You're making me horny.

What?! What the fuck? She has nuts in her mouth. She has... This harks back to Richard Gere and the ferrets. Didn't they find a jar of planter's peanuts in Richard Gere's ass or something? This is Japanese

tea bagging, I call it. She's got nuts in her mouth and a... Crazy as a shithouse rat. By the way, she'll be running in the next debate. She'll be standing next to Marianne Williamson who will be screaming at her for hurting an animal. Look at that. Look at that.

Look at that squirrel. Does not give a shit. It's brought us halitosis from eating raw fish, and he's going after those nuts. Finally tonight, I meet the press. Georgia Southern quarterback tried to pass off cocaine as bird poop. Suspended ahead of the LSU game. Oh, my God. College.

They got to have a police blotter just during college football. Seriously. Just watch the scroll at the bottom of ESPN. It's like a police blotter. But, yeah, this guy's the Georgia Southern, who's very good, by the way. They're like 1AA, whatever they call it now. And he's going to be suspended. Trying to do a motherfucker face.

That's what he said in his quote. Indefinitely suspended is Shai Wurtz on Friday after it was discovered the two-year start was arrested for cocaine possession. Who's got that fucking yay, eh? Okay? I tell you. It's pigeon shit, I tell you. On Wednesday, Wurtz was pulled over by police in South Carolina for speeding when they noticed a white substance on his car.

On the outside of the car? Keith Robinson has a great bit about this. According to the police, Wurtz reportedly told police the substance was bird shit, but later tested positive for cocaine. He should have been thinking and said, look, these pigeons snort all kinds of coke at this park. You've got to think on your feet, man. You're an option quarterback.

You've got to be able to read the motherfucker. Head coach Chad Lunsford announced Friday also defensive end Kwon Griffin was suspended for a separate arrest. I love these poor coaches going into a game against LSU, which is a little higher level than Georgia's Southerns used to. I'm not saying they don't have a chance, but, you know, when you recruit these guys, don't tell me they don't have fucking rap sheets. But then again, I'm being a hypocrite because I want to watch football played by guys who are in trouble all the time.

So I think I'll shut my mouth but i mean come on bird shit do you ever snort a line of pigeon shit you'll get as high as a fucking mcdonald's french fry let's do one more since i'm in a good mood and we're trying to wash away the uh bellicose weekend dj cooper suspended by uh fiBA. What is that, Jason? Any idea? The friggin' International Basketball League? Yeah, the International Basketball League. Well, yeah, thanks. What's the F for? The fuckin' International Basketball Association.

DJ Cooper suspended for, listen to this, for faking drug tests that revealed he was pregnant. You can act like a man! What's the matter with you? He's on the injured list. He's day-to-day with his three-month-old fetus. Go ahead, shit.

I was just going to say, it's International Baseball Basketball Federation. Oh, thank you. Step on my punchline to tell me something I asked for ten seconds ago. You have the timing of a fucking cancer patient, honestly. The former Ohio University standout handed a

two-year suspension from, let's call it FIBA, or FIBA, I don't want to get yelled at again, like FIFA and FIFA, for failing a drug test, but it wasn't performance-enhancing drugs. This is hilarious. His drug test, according to yourpoops.net, which I subscribe to,

terrific magazine, bunch of hairy Greeks dunking on each other, revealed that he was pregnant. He's fucking pregnant. I told you, no fucking kids. No, but you wouldn't listen. Why, you stupid fuck. The test on the urine that Cooper provided revealed the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin, or HCG,

which is a hormone made by the placenta during pregnancy. That urine, per the report, actually belonged to his girlfriend, Ikeisha. No, I don't know her name. That urine, per the report, actually belonged to his girlfriend, who likely didn't know she was pregnant at the time. Rumor says it's Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's kid. What? A guy in his late 70s? Bingo, bingo, bingo.

Sofiba slash five has suspended Cooper for fraud. He's eligible to return on June 20th if he has the baby. What do they call that? a double dribble. Why is it a double dribble? Go ahead, Rich. Urine sample.

Urine sample. What else? Well, it uses a girlfriend, so that's a double dribble. Honest to God, you might be the unfunniest person I ever met. Oh, my God. Folks, did you hear that? Double dribble. If anything, that's a cum joke in this scenario.

But... I tried. Boy, try harder. Anyways, Make-A-Wish Foundation. Rich Wood, dying of cancer of the funny mom. That is it for today. I want to thank... Again get big thanks to dana lash uh... who's out there uh... with a radio show dana radio uh... radio america
