00:00:02.000 So you've got a, for those listening terrestrially now, we do this as a videocast, louderwithcredo.com.
00:00:06.000 Dana has a new, what is it?
00:00:09.000 Is it a bob?
00:00:10.000 What do you call that hairdo?
00:00:12.000 I got tired of having long hair.
00:00:14.000 That's what it is.
00:00:15.000 And I went gradually shorter so I didn't freak anybody out.
00:00:19.000 But I didn't tell Chris I was doing it.
00:00:22.000 Well, no.
00:00:23.000 I totally gambled that one, didn't I? And I went in and I'm like, just cut it off.
00:00:27.000 Cut it off.
00:00:28.000 Because it's been, you know how long it's been.
00:00:29.000 You asked me one time, Stephen, when we were in Colorado at that event that occupiers crashed and we smelled them.
00:00:37.000 You asked me, you were like, do you have extensions?
00:00:39.000 Because my hair was so long.
00:00:41.000 Did I actually ask you that? 0.95
00:00:42.000 That's an incredibly gay question for a straight male to ask. 0.94
00:00:46.000 I was like, are you not straight anymore? 0.97
00:00:46.000 I know. 0.97
00:00:48.000 But no, it's just how long my hair was.
00:00:51.000 So anyway, I cut it off.
00:00:53.000 Well, it looks good.
00:00:53.000 I will tell you this.
00:00:54.000 You had me worried for a little bit, and we spoke about this.
00:00:57.000 There were about two appearances where they tried to give you the big Fox News hair, and I saw it, and I was like, that's not Dana.
00:01:06.000 I hope she doesn't stay with that.
00:01:07.000 And then you got rid of it really quickly.
00:01:08.000 I mean, you say Fox News hair.
00:01:10.000 I think Priscilla Presley, it's kind of the same thing.
00:01:13.000 It is.
00:01:15.000 It's the wedding photo with Elvis hair.
00:01:17.000 You can put stuff in it.
00:01:19.000 There's cubbies in the back.
00:01:20.000 That's what it's like.
00:01:21.000 I mean, you know, there's an older demo, and they just love the big hair and the gams, and that's what sells.
00:01:27.000 No, it looks good.
00:01:29.000 It's kind of a...
00:01:30.000 It's kind of the whole Aeon Flux thing going on.
00:01:32.000 Oh my gosh!
00:01:33.000 Did you seriously just say that?
00:01:35.000 Is that what you went into?
00:01:36.000 Give me the Aeon Flux?
00:01:38.000 I went in there and I said, I want Aeon Flux hair, but I don't want the catfish whiskers that come out.
00:01:45.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:01:46.000 And I was like, do that.
00:01:47.000 And so, what all?
00:01:48.000 It was good hair, but terrible motion picture.
00:01:51.000 So you have a radio show, obviously, nationally syndicated on our wonderful affiliate here, Wham!
00:01:56.000 in Detroit.
00:01:58.000 But a lot of people may not necessarily know your background, how you came into it, because my background was always stand-up comedy, entertainment, and yours was a little bit different.
00:02:07.000 So let's talk about that, because I've realized this.
00:02:09.000 I was talking with your husband.
00:02:10.000 A lot of my listeners don't even know...
00:02:14.000 Anything about my background because I'm always talking about the news.
00:02:16.000 And you may not necessarily talk with your audience about this so much.
00:02:19.000 So tell my audience and they can rally the information. 0.99
00:02:22.000 Oh, I used to be a dirty, dirty liberal. 0.99
00:02:25.000 Like, the ones that were, like, the liberal that was annoying. 0.99
00:02:28.000 And Stephen, I'm like, I also talk with my hands a lot.
00:02:32.000 It's true. 0.98
00:02:33.000 I'm not, I used to not only be a dirty, dirty liberal, but I was also one of those annoying fembot feminists, like the type who would have gotten mad about the Bud Light St. 1.00
00:02:41.000 Patrick's Day tweet today. 0.98
00:02:43.000 Really?
00:02:44.000 Yeah.
00:02:45.000 I used to be, I mean, maybe not that bad.
00:02:47.000 I mean, I wasn't, I didn't go into a rage spiral every time I even held a door open for me.
00:02:51.000 I would have greeted you.
00:02:52.000 Oh my God, I hate me in the past. 1.00
00:02:54.000 If there was a time machine, I would love to go back in time and kick my own ass. 1.00
00:02:58.000 It would be amazing. 1.00
00:02:59.000 This one would totally win.
00:03:02.000 But no, the more educated I became and the more that I grew up, And matured, that's when I started very slowly converting and being a mom was a huge part of it.
00:03:14.000 It's kind of hard when your whole family is liberal.
00:03:16.000 I had no shot.
00:03:18.000 My whole family was liberal and they worked with the State party, the Democrats in Missouri.
00:03:24.000 My uncle was a delegate for Barack Obama in 2012.
00:03:27.000 So I really didn't have, I mean, and I went to a very liberal arts university.
00:03:32.000 So liberal, liberal, liberal, liberal, liberal, not the Tocqueville kind.
00:03:35.000 That's who I was surrounded by.
00:03:36.000 So it was really hard.
00:03:38.000 And then they accused me, some members of my family accused me of going to the city and getting brainwashed.
00:03:43.000 Southern Missouri, you say there's an RN wash.
00:03:46.000 Washed.
00:03:47.000 Why?
00:03:48.000 What's wrong with them?
00:03:50.000 With what?
00:03:51.000 What's wrong with people in Missouri that they have to add an R? It's a speech impediment that requires effort to add something.
00:03:59.000 It wasn't until I got into broadcasting, and when I get really tired, or if I have a glass of wine, I don't enunciate as well.
00:04:08.000 Okay, hold on.
00:04:09.000 Let me ask you real quick.
00:04:10.000 Yeah.
00:04:10.000 Okay.
00:04:11.000 Up on the blank top.
00:04:13.000 Tick, tick, tick.
00:04:14.000 What's the word?
00:04:17.000 Blanketop.
00:04:17.000 What's the top of your house is called a...
00:04:19.000 Rooftop.
00:04:20.000 Okay, you say roof.
00:04:21.000 You don't say roof.
00:04:22.000 No, because it's what dogs say.
00:04:24.000 Okay.
00:04:25.000 I've never heard a dog say roof, nor bow-wow.
00:04:27.000 But there's an R. If you, Stephen, if you go to Southern Missouri, there's an R in Warsh.
00:04:32.000 It's either Warsh or Warsh, depending.
00:04:35.000 What we need to do is take people from Missouri and send them to England to teach them how to pronounce an R, and then you can meet at an intersect. 0.58
00:04:44.000 What is that?
00:04:45.000 They never, like, we speak English properly.
00:04:47.000 There's an R in properly.
00:04:49.000 Whenever I hear, like, Charles Cook, whenever I hear him talk, I just want to, I secretly, in the back of my head, obviously, because it's in the back of my head, I think, you're a fake Englishman. 0.81
00:05:00.000 Your accent's fake.
00:05:01.000 But he's not.
00:05:02.000 You know, he's not. 1.00
00:05:03.000 But it just sounds like his dick shit and everything is too perfect. 0.99
00:05:08.000 That's pretty good actually. 1.00
00:05:10.000 South African can sound really fake.
00:05:12.000 It sounds like someone poorly doing an Australian accent.
00:05:15.000 And there was a guy one time named Charleston and we were in Campbell, California.
00:05:18.000 And I remember that because he started talking and I said like, oh, it's almost as bad as Leo and Blood Diamond.
00:05:24.000 And he was like, no, I'm just from South Africa.
00:05:27.000 I'm like, ah, that's a terrible Australian accent.
00:05:30.000 We're not friends anymore.
00:05:32.000 No, I've never, the only time I've ever, I don't think I've ever heard a total proper South African accent except D-ant word. 0.89
00:05:42.000 The name's drawing a blank right now.
00:05:44.000 Okay, it's a band. 0.92
00:05:45.000 It's like a band of South African rednecks. 1.00
00:05:48.000 They look like South African rednecks. 1.00
00:05:50.000 Like they have mullets, but it's supposed to be arty. 0.92
00:05:52.000 I don't know.
00:05:53.000 There's some great social subtext to that because of the racism and the apartheid state.
00:05:58.000 That's exactly what they're hitting on.
00:06:00.000 But we have to go to a break.
00:06:01.000 We'll bring you right back.
00:06:02.000 Dana Lash, Ladder with Crowder.
00:06:03.000 We are back with the one and only Dana Lash, who has hoop earrings that are clinking on her microphone right now. 1.00
00:06:09.000 So please forgive her, for she knows not what she does.
00:06:12.000 I try not to move my head.
00:06:13.000 I don't wear a lot of jewelry, but I'm like, hoops go with everything!
00:06:18.000 You wear plenty of jewelry.
00:06:19.000 What are you talking about?
00:06:21.000 No, I don't.
00:06:21.000 I have like four big necklaces that people make fun of when I go on Fox or CNN. They're like, what is that?
00:06:26.000 Well, your husband wears more jewelry than many women. 0.94
00:06:29.000 No, he just has the earrings.
00:06:30.000 The bracelets.
00:06:32.000 Well, we have our leather wristy covers.
00:06:34.000 I know.
00:06:35.000 It looks like something like those kids in Captain Planet would wear to display their powers.
00:06:39.000 Like, Earth!
00:06:40.000 Someone made them.
00:06:40.000 Fire!
00:06:40.000 Wind!
00:06:42.000 Because they knew we were former goth kids, so somebody made them.
00:06:44.000 And that's what, yeah.
00:06:46.000 Anyway.
00:06:47.000 When I see bracelets that thick, I think either you're about to go to a powerlifting meet, or they are non-pragmatic in everyday life.
00:06:56.000 Because it makes it hard to bend.
00:06:59.000 It removes your flexibility.
00:07:02.000 But it looks cool!
00:07:04.000 This is a weird conversation.
00:07:05.000 Now that the listeners have entirely turned off the dial...
00:07:08.000 So, Dana, okay.
00:07:09.000 So your book, Hands Off My Guns, so you were a liberal.
00:07:12.000 Now, when you transitioned, you're obviously you're kind of known, I guess, one of your calling cards, I should say, is the gun issued.
00:07:21.000 I think, you know, obviously, people like to pigeonhole folks, and you offer a lot more than that.
00:07:24.000 But it's an issue where you've been a strong advocate, clearly.
00:07:27.000 Were you a leftist who was still pro Second Amendment?
00:07:31.000 Or were you all the way like anti gun when you were to the left?
00:07:34.000 No, I was still a leftist who was still pro-Second Amendment.
00:07:37.000 I mean, you kind of have to be.
00:07:38.000 It's weird because the left in a rural area where all my family is, I mean, they come from a town of like 300 people.
00:07:45.000 So everybody has a firearm.
00:07:47.000 But they don't really carry handguns so much as everybody has rifles.
00:07:51.000 So everybody has the pickup truck and you've got the gun rack and the back glass and you've got your rifle there.
00:07:56.000 And that's just how it was.
00:07:58.000 People had their gun cabinets in the middle of their living rooms.
00:08:01.000 I had a relative that had a gun cabinet in their dining room in place of a china hutch.
00:08:07.000 You grow up with it.
00:08:10.000 Because they hunted, I was never against, ever.
00:08:15.000 I was always...
00:08:18.000 for Second Amendment.
00:08:19.000 And there were just, I think that that was part of it.
00:08:21.000 There were a lot of issues that as I grew up, I realized, why am I calling myself a Democrat?
00:08:27.000 Because I don't agree with them here, here, or here.
00:08:30.000 But it's just how I was raised to believe.
00:08:31.000 But at my core being, a lot of that stuff didn't jive.
00:08:35.000 That's true.
00:08:36.000 That's one thing I talk about.
00:08:37.000 If Republicans need to know a strategy right now, first off, far and away, the winningest issue are guns for conservatives.
00:08:44.000 A lot of people, they try and paint you as extremists.
00:08:46.000 That's where they go to assault weapons. 0.99
00:08:48.000 They try and muddy those waters because guns are a very winning issue because there are a lot of Democrats, like you mentioned, who are still pro-Second Amendment.
00:08:56.000 And then you've got feminism is overreached, where people are rejecting it, freedom of speech now since liberals have lined up directly across from it, and then Islamic terrorism. 0.54
00:09:05.000 People are okay with calling Islamic terrorism Islamic terrorism, not the administration.
00:09:09.000 So those four issues, the strongest of which I would say are guns.
00:09:13.000 Is that why you focused on that, do you think, a lot?
00:09:16.000 Because you think it's something that can reach across the aisle and appeals to people other than just rah-rah-rah Republican?
00:09:23.000 No, I focused on it because people were threatening to kill my kids, and they were coming to my house, and it took me off.
00:09:29.000 Yeah, so I decided that it was going to be a focus, because if somebody's going to sit here and issue threats out of one side of their mouth and then talk about from the other side of their mouth disarming me, I'm going to have a real problem with that person.
00:09:29.000 That's a good reason, too.
00:09:43.000 Basically, the book that I wrote, Hands Off My Gun, I got so mad, I descended into my own two-way rage spiral.
00:09:50.000 I did massive amounts of research.
00:09:53.000 I had someone assisting me with research, but I buried myself in statistics for over a year so I could get this book compiled and get it finished because I was tired of hearing all of these arguments, especially from people who know absolutely crap about guns.
00:10:07.000 I was so tired of hearing people sit here and use the words clip and magazine as though they're two interchangeable things.
00:10:13.000 Made up fairytale unicorn terms, like assault weapon.
00:10:16.000 And I had one chick, she's with the Moms Demand anti-gun lobbyists. 1.00
00:10:21.000 They're like the Bloomberg professional lobbyists. 0.99
00:10:23.000 That's what they do, is talk crap about gun owners. 0.92
00:10:25.000 Like, what a job is that? 0.97
00:10:27.000 What are those benefits like?
00:10:27.000 Do you have dental?
00:10:29.000 I don't know if they do.
00:10:31.000 I think the Klan had dental for Robert Byrd, but I don't know if they do.
00:10:35.000 But she had said at one point that an assault weapon is anything that can fire 10 rounds a minute. 0.99
00:10:40.000 Well, holy crap. 0.95
00:10:41.000 I mean, if you have your things measured out, you could fire 10 rounds out of a musket. 0.99
00:10:45.000 I mean, that's like every single firearm.
00:10:47.000 And that's kind of the point.
00:10:48.000 They use on purpose vague terms so that they can classify all guns as bad.
00:10:53.000 So I just got mad and I wrote this book as a big, giant middle finger to all those people.
00:10:56.000 Right.
00:10:57.000 They do use a lot of terms people don't understand, and then sometimes they use terms that actually do exist.
00:10:57.000 Well, actually, you know what?
00:11:01.000 For example, assault weapon means nothing.
00:11:04.000 Assault rifle is a rifle that is used in the military.
00:11:07.000 So assault rifle is a term they go, oh, people already use the term assault rifle referring to this specific subset of weapons.
00:11:12.000 Let's say assault weapon, and they...
00:11:15.000 Well, I mean, really, and even to an extent, that's even kind of an incorrect classification because anything is an assault, whatever.
00:11:21.000 But, I mean, really what they should be saying is this has select fire capability, this does not.
00:11:25.000 Meaning you can flip the giggle switch on a military-grade rifle and you can go to full auto, whereas with a semi-automatic rifle, one that lacks the select fire capability, you can't.
00:11:35.000 But they don't want to get into the nitty-gritty and all of that because those are facts.
00:11:39.000 And facts are scary things to people who need people to remain uninformed so they can push paranoia and fear.
00:11:45.000 Well, let me ask you this.
00:11:46.000 I think that there's a huge contingency, and this is where I think Republicans and conservatives lose it.
00:11:50.000 There are a huge contingency of people who aren't necessarily anti-fact.
00:11:53.000 I certainly don't think most People who vote liberal are anti-fact.
00:11:57.000 I think they're manipulated by some people who try to cover up or subvert facts.
00:12:01.000 I think a lot of people are just misinformed or uninformed.
00:12:04.000 So would you say when you were a liberal, obviously you were someone who – you've been a truth seeker your whole life.
00:12:10.000 Do you just think you were submerged into an environment where you didn't – Ever have access? 0.81
00:12:14.000 I was a purposeful dumbass because for me, it was more about winning an argument than it was about being right.
00:12:21.000 Having been there, I honestly think that that's a huge problem of the left. 0.92
00:12:28.000 There's some people that I see on the right that do this, but by and large, how can you be faced with factual information and not get it?
00:12:34.000 We live in the era of information.
00:12:35.000 There is no excuse at all whatsoever for anybody to not be able to research a topic and get both sides of the argument. 0.97
00:12:42.000 I, like I said, I was a willful dumbass. 0.93
00:12:45.000 I purposely stuck to ignorant talking points because it was more important for me to win the argument than it was to be right. 0.97
00:12:53.000 Because if I conceded a point, the point was to me not to be correct. 0.64
00:12:57.000 The truth wasn't the focus for me.
00:12:59.000 It was about winning an argument.
00:13:00.000 It was about winning a debate and acting like I was a badass because I could argue someone even though I was wrong.
00:13:06.000 I have not been able to stand you at all.
00:13:09.000 Told you.
00:13:09.000 Even if you had the bob in your little hipster glasses back then, you would have been the girl.
00:13:14.000 I need them.
00:13:15.000 I have to have them because I can't look down.
00:13:17.000 I bet you those are non-prescription lenses.
00:13:19.000 They totally are, as my husband.
00:13:20.000 They so are.
00:13:21.000 Yeah, you know, I did.
00:13:22.000 You were the girl who was the bane of my existence in college because I remember, you know, and I'm glad to meet you.
00:13:28.000 Hi, now, but we had girls like that. 1.00
00:13:30.000 I have to live with that past.
00:13:32.000 And here's the kicker.
00:13:34.000 I have two sons who now have to put up with chicks like that in this society. 1.00
00:13:40.000 That's an interesting topic.
00:13:42.000 So you have sons.
00:13:43.000 I mean, full disclosure, Dana and I and our families, we know each other, but you have sons.
00:13:47.000 We don't know each other at all.
00:13:47.000 Yeah, we don't know each other.
00:13:48.000 She disavows.
00:13:49.000 She washes her hands, Pontius Pilate, when it comes to publicly acknowledging me.
00:13:53.000 She's like Peter, except there's no rooster crowing.
00:13:57.000 It's just her husband.
00:13:58.000 And drank my beer.
00:13:59.000 And you brought me here, so we're cool.
00:14:00.000 This is true.
00:14:01.000 Shine or cheer, which I don't like, but you do.
00:14:03.000 I think it's too sweet.
00:14:04.000 Okay.
00:14:05.000 You have two boys.
00:14:06.000 So obviously the stereotype is, right, the conservative Christian gun owner, you know, cleaning a shotgun on a French porch, you know, etc.
00:14:13.000 Exactly.
00:14:14.000 But you're pretty protective of your boys.
00:14:16.000 And you talk about this.
00:14:17.000 And I don't have children yet.
00:14:19.000 So it's something that has definitely opened my eyes where you talk about how young girls can be sexually predatorial with boys. 0.60
00:14:26.000 And you felt the need to be, you know, that sort of cliched father with a shotgun for your boys.
00:14:31.000 I mean, tell us what that's like in 2015.
00:14:33.000 And how has it changed from the boys being always the pervs and in the wrong to girls sometimes now? 0.94
00:14:39.000 Like, here's my Snapchat.
00:14:41.000 Yeah.
00:14:42.000 Yeah, it aggravates me because I'm tired of the whole...
00:14:48.000 What is it that we heard all last summer?
00:14:50.000 Teach men not to rape.
00:14:52.000 Teach men not to rape.
00:14:53.000 Okay, well, let's hashtag teach women to be ladies. 1.00
00:14:55.000 Not that hard, is it?
00:14:57.000 Let's teach women to learn how to be ladies. 1.00
00:14:59.000 I know how ladies are because I am one. 1.00
00:15:00.000 I know how girls are because I was a little girl at one point.
00:15:03.000 I was a teenage girl at one point.
00:15:05.000 And this idea that...
00:15:07.000 One sex bears all of the responsibility for every single thing in life. 1.00
00:15:10.000 It's sexist, inherently. 1.00
00:15:12.000 It's idiotic, and it's unfair to young boys. 1.00
00:15:15.000 I feel like there's a war on young boys. 1.00
00:15:17.000 I feel like there's a war on boys, period, because society comes down on them so hard. 0.99
00:15:22.000 Everything from Title IX to all of this other, the abortion on demand, the feminist crap that we hear about day in and day out. 1.00
00:15:29.000 If they even hold the door open for a lady now, there was a story written about how, well, really, that's still inherent sexism. 1.00
00:15:36.000 Okay, then you It's your own damn door, broads. 1.00
00:15:38.000 I'm tired of this stuff. 1.00
00:15:39.000 I'm tired of men constantly being attacked.
00:15:41.000 And Stephen, honestly, that was one of the single biggest things.
00:15:44.000 That was like the lever that just kicked it all off.
00:15:48.000 That's how I started on the path to actually acknowledging that, okay, maybe I am a conservative because I brought a young man into the world, a boy that I'm raising into a young man.
00:15:57.000 And I had to come.
00:15:59.000 Face to face with the fact that all of the biggest demons that he's going to have to battle in his life are things for which I used to advocate and use all of my power to promote and make ever more prevalent in society.
00:16:11.000 And so part of my punishment, I think, or part of my coming to terms with that is I'm going to now help my young men navigate all of those landmines that I set in my past as a progressive feminist.
00:16:23.000 Boy, that's a mouthful.
00:16:24.000 I had landmines and I thought about when I stepped outside and Hopper was in the backyard and now that the snow has melted, it's been a very unpleasant experience.
00:16:31.000 But I appreciate your point.
00:16:34.000 No, it's true.
00:16:35.000 Listen, I mean, I got to tell you, I mean, there is a noticeable shift.
00:16:40.000 And certainly as a male, no matter, the problem is you have to apologize before you say anything.
00:16:44.000 There have been...
00:16:46.000 Women who've made aggressive passes at either me or my friends, older women.
00:16:50.000 Particularly, I'll tell you, there was a situation at a gym with what one would now call a cougar, where if I were to do what she had done to me, I'd be hauled off in cuffs.
00:17:00.000 And if I did it and it went public and people said, hey, that's sexual harassment, I would hang my head and say, you know what?
00:17:06.000 Put me in the stocks I deserve.
00:17:07.000 Yeah.
00:17:08.000 Women are aggressive. 1.00
00:17:09.000 I actually dealt with a situation like that recently at SHOT Show with an older woman going after my husband, Stephen. 0.82
00:17:16.000 Was she a biker chick? 1.00
00:17:17.000 No, she was not.
00:17:19.000 I hear him laughing.
00:17:21.000 Why is he laughing?
00:17:22.000 Come on, it's a reasonable assumption.
00:17:24.000 He's got that look.
00:17:25.000 I don't even know if I can go into the full story.
00:17:27.000 It is FCC regulated, but let's hear it.
00:17:30.000 No, I don't think I can.
00:17:33.000 It's not that I said a curse word because I didn't.
00:17:36.000 It was just what I said.
00:17:38.000 It probably wasn't totally ladylike for me to say, but I said it really loud enough for the whole place to hear because you know me.
00:17:45.000 But no, this woman had like... 1.00
00:17:47.000 And my husband just is not into that stuff.
00:17:49.000 He was walking around with our friend Grady Powell, who is in Ultimate Survival Alaska.
00:17:53.000 We were at one of those events after a day of sessions at SHOT Show in Vegas.
00:17:58.000 I think it was an event sponsored by Glock.
00:18:00.000 And we were there, and we were talking with everyone, and this woman was like, ooh, super ridiculously aggressive towards my husband. 1.00
00:18:07.000 Like, really, like, you know, getting up there, getting into his space.
00:18:11.000 And I'm like, my husband's a grown man.
00:18:12.000 He can handle himself.
00:18:13.000 You know, I don't need to.
00:18:14.000 We've been married for 15 years, and we got two kids.
00:18:17.000 I think I got a flag on that.
00:18:18.000 You know what I'm saying?
00:18:19.000 So, but she kept going. 1.00
00:18:22.000 She at one point remarked about his mustache, at which point I said...
00:18:27.000 Oh, did she go into the mustache ride territory, something like that? 0.93
00:18:29.000 Oh, I did.
00:18:30.000 I said I was going to later on.
00:18:32.000 So, later.
00:18:33.000 Oh, very nice.
00:18:34.000 I know, right?
00:18:35.000 It was so...
00:18:36.000 I'm trying to think which parts of this will need to be dumped on air.
00:18:42.000 But, no, I mean, it's...
00:18:45.000 But no, I've had to deal with this with my 13-year-old son, because I've seen younger girls be so aggressive. 0.68
00:18:45.000 That's... 0.68
00:18:52.000 And I don't want to embarrass any ladies, and I don't really like to talk about my kids' private lives, because they're this digital generation.
00:18:59.000 Let's bring you on after, and then without embarrassing, you'll explain a little bit.
00:18:59.000 Can you hold that thought?
00:19:03.000 Louder with Crowder, Dana Lash. 0.60
00:19:04.000 Right back with Dana last, she was about to reveal some painfully embarrassing information regarding her children and aggressive women. 0.65
00:19:12.000 Okay, so give us the gist of it.
00:19:15.000 Because I know a little bit.
00:19:16.000 We've talked about this.
00:19:17.000 I know.
00:19:17.000 I've told you some of it.
00:19:18.000 And it's hard as a parent because I don't want to hover over my kids and I want them to be able to make good decisions on their own.
00:19:25.000 But at the same time, you just want to go, everybody's evil!
00:19:29.000 Everybody in the world is evil!
00:19:30.000 Right.
00:19:31.000 So my son had been dealing with a young lady who actually had been a part of a youth group of which he was a member.
00:19:40.000 And, you know, kids have phones.
00:19:43.000 And had been really aggressively, like, texting and, you know, the selfies with the duck lips and all that stuff.
00:19:49.000 And I just thought that some of what happened...
00:19:52.000 What was that face again?
00:19:53.000 It was the duck lips.
00:19:54.000 Oh, okay.
00:19:55.000 Just for those listening terrestrially, right now, Dana Lash looks like the situation from Jersey Shore when she's doing this. 0.99
00:20:02.000 I looked like, my mouth looked like a babbing's ass. 1.00
00:20:04.000 That's what it looked like. 1.00
00:20:05.000 That's what I just did.
00:20:06.000 Dana, you do enough radio.
00:20:08.000 You know you can't say that on air.
00:20:09.000 Yes, you can.
00:20:10.000 I know.
00:20:11.000 I know.
00:20:12.000 Okay, continue with the story. 0.99
00:20:13.000 It looked like a baboon's buttocks. 1.00
00:20:16.000 Okay. 0.98
00:20:16.000 That's what my mouth looked like, Stephen. 0.98
00:20:18.000 Okay, so this girl. 0.67
00:20:19.000 So this girl was texting just, you know, a little, it was just a little inappropriate, I think, and not something that a 13-year-old young lady needed to be texting my son.
00:20:29.000 Now, I didn't.
00:20:31.000 Get on the phone and text for him.
00:20:33.000 I didn't do any of that.
00:20:35.000 And I just said something to my son.
00:20:37.000 I'm like, well, you want to make sure that the women of your acquaintance are acting like ladies. 0.98
00:20:41.000 And just remember that it can get worse as they get older.
00:20:45.000 And he handled it just fine all by himself.
00:20:48.000 And he had told her that he didn't appreciate her behavior.
00:20:50.000 And he thought that she needed to act a little bit more like a lady. 0.97
00:20:53.000 And stop making a fool of yourself in front of my parents because we had been at church. 0.72
00:20:58.000 And then hit right-click, save. 0.98
00:21:01.000 Yeah, and I just went, like, what?
00:21:03.000 Like, that was, like, such an epic handling.
00:21:07.000 But he was really nice.
00:21:08.000 What you did, though.
00:21:09.000 He was nice, and he wasn't trying to personally offend her.
00:21:12.000 And at the same time, he was saying, look, I think your behavior could have been better.
00:21:12.000 Right.
00:21:15.000 And I was just like, hallelujah!
00:21:17.000 What you did, though, what you did correctly, knowing you and your husband.
00:21:22.000 A lot of times parents just go, you know, she's not a lady. 1.00
00:21:26.000 Don't talk to her.
00:21:27.000 I'm not letting you talk to her anymore.
00:21:27.000 That's bad.
00:21:29.000 They don't explain the reason behind, you know, this is what a man looks for in a woman. 1.00
00:21:33.000 If a man finds a wife, he finds what is good. 1.00
00:21:36.000 And this is what you want in a wife. 1.00
00:21:38.000 This is the purpose to dating.
00:21:39.000 And I know, I mean, you've sort of just glossed over it, but I know you teach that to your young men.
00:21:44.000 And a lot of people don't.
00:21:45.000 They just say, don't do this, don't do that.
00:21:47.000 And that's one thing I'm eternally grateful for.
00:21:49.000 For my father, and I know your husband does it.
00:21:52.000 We can refer to him by name.
00:21:53.000 Everyone knows it's Chris.
00:21:54.000 I'm trying to keep it private, but everyone knows.
00:21:56.000 He's on Twitter.
00:21:57.000 His mustache has its own profile.
00:21:59.000 Everyone knows Chris.
00:22:01.000 A lot of fathers don't do that.
00:22:03.000 So even if there's a father in the household or a mother in the household, there really isn't a father and a mother in the household.
00:22:10.000 No, I agree with that.
00:22:10.000 Right.
00:22:11.000 And I think it's really important to make that distinction.
00:22:13.000 And the way I look at it, and one of the things, you know, even though my advice is that I say the word edible snakes way too much, that's my big advice.
00:22:21.000 But one of the things that I always do is, I mean, I'll say a little prayer for whoever my kids' future wives are going to be.
00:22:28.000 Because I think that's really important as well.
00:22:30.000 I'm keeping in mind that we're teaching him to look for someone with whom he's going to spend the rest of his life and who's going to be a member of our family, who's going to be raising my grandbabies at some point.
00:22:42.000 You know, heaven forbid, that's still like 40 years off.
00:22:45.000 But it's important, and I want him to be able to make that decision intelligently, and I want him to be able to have that, I don't know, emotional IQ, I think, for lack of a better way to put it, to be able to identify those traits or virtue and lack thereof in a woman. 0.56
00:23:05.000 And it's really important to not just tell our boys that, but also to show them.
00:23:10.000 I remember one time when they were still pretty young, we were in the toy line at Target, or toy aisle, and I took them down to the toy aisle, and I showed them the Bratz dolls, and I said, don't ever bring home a girl that wears this much makeup to Mama, because I'll turn on the hose and I'll hose her off on the walk. 0.98
00:23:24.000 And then you come home from your TV hits, and you're like, get it off me!
00:23:27.000 Don't let them see me this way!
00:23:27.000 Get it off me!
00:23:29.000 Unless it's for money on Fox and CNN. Yeah, exactly.
00:23:31.000 Mama gotta get paid! 1.00
00:23:33.000 No.
00:23:33.000 But no, it's tasteful, and it's done by professionals, and I will never wear purple up here.
00:23:39.000 That's true.
00:23:40.000 I think it's really important to teach boys that.
00:23:44.000 And at the same time, it's important to teach women what to look for those good virtues in a man.
00:23:50.000 But it's also good to teach women, which we talk about empowering women.
00:23:54.000 Why can't we empower women to be virtuous women? 1.00
00:23:57.000 Why is virtue looked at as though it is a negative instead of a positive?
00:24:01.000 Because ultimately, you know, those are the kind of women that men gravitate towards when it concerns picking out someone to be their partner. 0.99
00:24:11.000 Not the scumbags. 0.98
00:24:12.000 And you know, what's more empowering, and I know feminists are already going to get mad about this, because I'm not saying it's necessary, but what's more empowering to a strong woman than a strong man who undergirds her and supports her values? 0.99
00:24:26.000 Women who take personal offense like that, they don't know, and I will say this very slowly so there's no mistaking of my words, they don't understand what a partnership is.
00:24:36.000 That is what a successful partnership is.
00:24:41.000 Marriage is.
00:24:42.000 I wouldn't be able to do everything that I am able to do without my husband there with me and vice versa.
00:24:48.000 It is not for a lack of strength that I say this.
00:24:51.000 It is to acknowledge the strength that is in my union with him.
00:24:54.000 And those who don't understand that, like I said, they simply do not understand partnerships.
00:24:59.000 No, that's absolutely right.
00:25:00.000 They understand partnerships everywhere else.
00:25:01.000 I guess if you were gay or if your partnership involved going into the ladies' restroom hand-in-hand at Planet Fitness, then they'd be cool with it.
00:25:09.000 By the way, where are all the rape culture activists with that? 1.00
00:25:12.000 We're allowing tallywhackers in women's locker rooms. 1.00
00:25:15.000 It bothered me because I looked at that as though it was an attack on women.
00:25:20.000 It was an assault on women. 1.00
00:25:22.000 I'm not going to apologize for feeling uncomfortable being in a dressing room with a man, and it's a man.
00:25:27.000 I don't care how much lipstick you want to put on it.
00:25:29.000 Anyone who thinks that the sum total of a woman is some cosmetics from the Macy's counter or from Sephora, that's insulting.
00:25:36.000 If they think that's the sum total of what a woman is, is the makeup that she puts on and the clothes that she puts on. 1.00
00:25:41.000 Or even their private parts.
00:25:42.000 It's sexist. 0.63
00:25:43.000 It's sexist.
00:25:44.000 Exactly. 1.00
00:25:45.000 And women are more than just being a vagina and boobs. 1.00
00:25:47.000 We're a lot more than that. 0.99
00:25:48.000 Though those are, one could argue, probably the most preferable parts.
00:25:53.000 My husband's probably giving you a silent amen in the other way.
00:25:55.000 He is. 0.97
00:25:56.000 I found that offensive, the fact that the woman was slut-shamed. 1.00
00:26:02.000 The same slut-shaming that you see feminists complain about, that was done to the woman who said, I'm really uncomfortable with the man being in the locker room. 1.00
00:26:12.000 I'm not ever going to apologize for being watchful over my security. 0.83
00:26:17.000 Women are told, Stephen, you know this, women are told if you see something, say something, be constantly aware of your surroundings, unless it's politically incorrect.
00:26:23.000 Planet Fitness beats down the human spirit.
00:26:25.000 I mean, first off, you know, for example, they, and we talk about this in the video that's going up here where I did go undercover into Planet Fitness as a lady.
00:26:34.000 I didn't go in as a transgender, by the way.
00:26:36.000 That's what liberals applied.
00:26:37.000 I went in as a woman.
00:26:39.000 If you want to call me transgender, that's on you. 0.98
00:26:42.000 I dressed up as a woman, just like President Hoover.
00:26:45.000 I just did a little bit of cross-dressing. 0.56
00:26:46.000 I don't necessarily consider transgender.
00:26:48.000 Here's the deal.
00:26:49.000 Yeah, it was President Hoover.
00:26:51.000 It wasn't the vacuum guy.
00:26:52.000 Yeah, it was President Hoover.
00:26:54.000 Anyway, I don't even know what my point was.
00:26:56.000 We got way off.
00:26:57.000 He walked into Planet Fitness.
00:26:58.000 Oh, yeah.
00:26:59.000 They strip people of their independence and rugged individualism by removing a squat rack because it intimidates people.
00:27:06.000 What?
00:27:06.000 Yeah, well, to give you an example.
00:27:08.000 A squat rack?
00:27:09.000 It was a proactive decision to get rid of a squat rack because it intimidated people.
00:27:09.000 No, no.
00:27:14.000 So at a certain point, you're excluding somebody, right?
00:27:16.000 Wait, hold up.
00:27:17.000 I'm sorry.
00:27:18.000 They don't have any squat racks at Planet Fitness anymore.
00:27:18.000 I can't get past that.
00:27:21.000 Why would anybody go to Planet Fitness?
00:27:23.000 Why would any self-respecting woman go to Planet Fitness? 1.00
00:27:23.000 Exactly. 1.00
00:27:25.000 They have pizza and Tootsie Rolls.
00:27:27.000 They have pizza and Tootsie Rolls.
00:27:28.000 How do you work out?
00:27:29.000 How do you do leg day if you don't have a squat rack?
00:27:32.000 You don't. 0.95
00:27:33.000 You go in as a fat person and you leave as a fat person who feels good about being a fat person with a couple extra Tootsie Rolls in your stomach. 0.99
00:27:41.000 Literally. 0.95
00:27:43.000 They do have Tootsie Rolls in pizza.
00:27:44.000 They have pizza.
00:27:45.000 What is it, Jared?
00:27:46.000 Pizza night every second Monday of the month?
00:27:48.000 I don't know.
00:27:49.000 They do have pizza night at Planet Fitness and Bagel Day.
00:27:53.000 But it's a business model.
00:27:55.000 People need to understand that.
00:27:56.000 And this is the absolute certification of men.
00:28:00.000 The business model of Planet Fitness...
00:28:00.000 No, it's not.
00:28:03.000 It's very simple.
00:28:04.000 It's not to get people stronger and healthier.
00:28:06.000 What it is, is to get people to sign up and have the minimum amount of membership dues to be paid so that they don't cancel the auto pay.
00:28:16.000 So their perfect customer is someone who pays that $10 a month and never sets foot in the gym and minimizes traffic.
00:28:22.000 That's the business model.
00:28:23.000 It's just low enough so that you don't cancel the auto pay.
00:28:27.000 That's why they don't have a squat rack.
00:28:28.000 Their dumbbells go up to 60 pounds.
00:28:31.000 Anyway, we've got...
00:28:32.000 Yeah, I know.
00:28:33.000 It's horrible.
00:28:33.000 I know.
00:28:34.000 My gym has three squat racks, and I forgot how high the dumbbells go.
00:28:38.000 Yeah, you're probably not going much higher than 60, let's be honest, but your husband probably will.
00:28:42.000 I will get there at some point.
00:28:44.000 I'm at 30.
00:28:44.000 I'm halfway there.
00:28:45.000 I'm halfway there.
00:28:46.000 What are you doing those for?
00:28:47.000 What are you using?
00:28:48.000 I do curls, and I do my tries, and all my stuff.
00:28:53.000 These are technical terms I need not concern myself with.
00:28:56.000 It's like, this muscle.
00:28:58.000 Well, we got off the beam.
00:28:58.000 Okay.
00:28:59.000 I'm so sore that just gave me a stroke, what I just did.
00:29:01.000 Really?
00:29:02.000 But we have three squat racks.
00:29:02.000 Really?
00:29:05.000 I'm not even going to get into the process.
00:29:06.000 Well, I called someone.
00:29:07.000 People don't know how to use what squat racks are for and they go in there and do something else.
00:29:10.000 I called another gym today and she said, well, we have a Smith machine.
00:29:12.000 I said, no, but do you have a squat rack?
00:29:13.000 She said, well, it's the same thing.
00:29:15.000 I said, no, no.
00:29:15.000 Are you a personal trainer?
00:29:16.000 She said, yes.
00:29:17.000 I said, okay.
00:29:17.000 I want you to go back to school.
00:29:19.000 I want you to hand in your degree.
00:29:20.000 I want you to fire yourself and re-educate yourself because you cannot squat in a Smith machine.
00:29:25.000 It's not the same thing.
00:29:26.000 I don't even know what a Smith machine is.
00:29:28.000 It's on a track, so it's not free weight.
00:29:30.000 It's like the squat rack, but it's on an immovable track, so it only goes up.
00:29:34.000 So you don't have to balance it.
00:29:36.000 That's part of the workout.
00:29:37.000 Yeah, I know.
00:29:38.000 Anyways, you're only going to make me mad, and I need to go get some rest.
00:29:44.000 I'm sorry.
00:29:45.000 I went off into the weeds on that.
00:29:48.000 No, I went off into it, too, because we've been doing this video all week and just the backlash from people at Planet Fitness.
00:29:52.000 You can do a whole video just on that.
00:29:54.000 On Planet Fitness, we absolutely could.
00:29:56.000 On squats.
00:29:58.000 Well, I do, actually.
00:29:59.000 Mark Ripito is coming on.
00:30:00.000 He's a big conservative, and he wrote Starting Strength, and he actually writes for PJ Media every now and then.
00:30:06.000 And it's so funny.
00:30:07.000 Let me say this, because I don't know about you, but when I heard of Planet Fitness, right, and I heard the lunk alarm, no judgment zone, no squats are allowed, no deadlifts.
00:30:15.000 These are rules, right?
00:30:16.000 No deadlifts either?
00:30:18.000 Well, people can watch the video at ladderwithcrowder.com.
00:30:20.000 The alarm went off when I was working out as a woman, so we pushed the boundaries there.
00:30:25.000 Where does their acceptance of transgender people start and their judgment of lungs begin?
00:30:31.000 Because I blurred those lines.
00:30:33.000 These are part of their policies.
00:30:37.000 Anyways, it's only going to get...
00:30:38.000 But when I saw those policies, I said, that's a liberal company.
00:30:41.000 People go, well, why does it have to be a liberal conservative?
00:30:43.000 I said, you know why?
00:30:44.000 Because no conservative needs to put up a sign that says, we're going to exclude successful people and serious trainees.
00:30:51.000 No conservative business would exclude successful people.
00:30:54.000 That's that whole Occupy 1% or we want everyone to feel good about themselves.
00:30:58.000 That's liberal-ism to a T. Right.
00:31:01.000 And you're seeing it now.
00:31:02.000 Obviously, you have a show every day.
00:31:04.000 People hear it on Wham!
00:31:05.000 where we're talking right now.
00:31:06.000 But then, of course, people online who are watching this on the YouTubes.
00:31:09.000 Where can people find you?
00:31:11.000 DanaRadio.com.
00:31:12.000 And my show on The Blaze, 6 p.m.
00:31:14.000 Eastern, 5 Central, which you have been on Monday through Friday.
00:31:18.000 Yes, I have been.
00:31:19.000 Well, I'm not on Monday through Friday, but I've been on the show.
00:31:21.000 But you have been on the show.
00:31:22.000 You phrased it oddly, and you could have potentially been lying to my audience.
00:31:25.000 So for that, we must punish you and send you on your way.
00:31:28.000 Okay, fine. 0.94
00:31:29.000 Whatever season.
00:31:30.000 Bye.
00:31:31.000 Dana, thank you so much.
00:31:32.000 We'll have to have you back.
