During his time of Brown, Nuevis Valenti was enrolled only in physics classes. The majority of physics classes at Brown have always been held within the Barris and Holly classrooms and labs. Now detailed records indicating where specific courses were held don't extend back to 2001. But we can say that physics classes typically require access to specialized equipment and including demonstration parts that are a fixed asset in some of Barris and Holy classrooms. So I think it's safe to assume that this man, when he was a student, spent a great deal of time in that building for classes and other activities as a PhD student. Well, we're getting more information about this killer at Brown University, and there's

a lot of stuff to be unpacked still. of these, golly, so like last night following some of the stories about it was insane because the updates are crazy and we're going to dive into all of that. This is our last show of this year. And I know. So we've, I want to make sure that I get you guys set up with everything that you, that I can at least. Now I'm not going to be totally out of the loop. You know, I'm still going to be on social media here and there, but I'm actually going to try to force myself to take a sabbatical at some point. So we'll do that. So welcome to the program, Dana Lash with you, top of this first hour, the latest with this killer. And you were hearing

some of the audio there. This investigation still is a lot left to be desired, to put it mildly, a lot left to be desired. Because there's, I mean, now we're seeing, there's, I mean, there's a real pattern here. There's a real, you know, this guy we saw found dead in the storage unit, Brown and MIT suspect. And this is, I mean, crazy, 48-year-old Portuguese national and one-time Brown physics student. So this comes on the heels of yesterday. I think we said yesterday, the Israeli government was saying that they were curious as to whether or not, or they wanted to investigate and see whether or not this individual was the MIT professor, was he taken up by an Iranian agent? Like, what's going on? And I feel like all of these questions at this

point are totally fair, because everything is so crazy. This 48-year-old Portuguese National, someone saw him go into this storage unit, and they acted on that. And then they found him shot dead in this storage unit, which is super convenient if you're a chicane's shaking. How much tinfoil

did you get out last night, my dude? When I saw this, I'm like, wait a minute. Now they're wrapping up two different seemingly unconnected situations with one person. Seemingly unconnected. It looks unconnected to me. The moment that people were saying, oh, it's a 50-mile drive

from Brown University to the storage. It's 50 mile drive. I mean, that's not a lot. In Texas, that's a lot, but nowhere else is it a lot. In Texas, that's a two-day drive. But that immediately, I thought, ooh, we're setting up some connections here. This is going to get super interesting.

They said it was a self-inflicted gunshot wound and that the guy was found dead. Now, the timeline of this, I know that we have some stuff up on the newsletter. if you are a subscriber, you get it. Lorraine has the latest up there because the guy was responsible for not just Brown University, but also this MIT professor. So weird, Cain. The guy was, I'm not going to say that I went into like this rabbit hole of looking at plasma weaponry and all of this other stuff, but I did do that yesterday.

I mean, that's a weird guy, a weird thing to target. You know what I'm saying? It's a very odd. why are you shaking your head like that like you know something no it's just that i i so did you see that how obama follows this guy but he also follows like five okay we're gonna he also falls like 500 000 people he follows like a million people so i'm not going to get super about that coincidence i'm sure well he follows a lot of people and i look if there's if there's a a connection to be made there i'm all for it but you know i'm just saying i'm just saying that was

what was also fueling the tinfoil hat action. I get that, but I still think he follows a lot of people. So let me just run this down. So the both of the guys, the MIT professor was Portuguese. The first, there was some promotion that he was Jewish and apparently

he is not. So a lot of the initial reporting that was out about this was wrong as all hell. So five-day search, the guy is suspected of killing not only the MIT professor at his home, but they also apparently attended the same university in Portugal.

The suspect had no current affiliation with the university. He was enrolled at Brown. I'm reading notes here from fall of 2000 to the spring of 2001 in a PhD program. Now we're going to get to the diversity visas and all that stuff here in a moment. But that's, I mean, so there was a there, obviously that connection. The killer was also a physicist. They both attended the same Lisbon University. And then afterwards, the MIT guy went to grad school in London. The killer was registered as a grad student of Brown University. And he was enrolled from 2000 to 2001, dropped out of the program. And the, so they knew each other. The other thing is, too, is the, he switches, he drove to the storage unit, switched out his car, switched out the place.

because he rented a car in Boston, drove to Brown. People were spotting that vehicle around the area. And then he entered the classroom during his study session, shot the place up, returned to Massachusetts, and then murdered the professor, switched the plates on the car, et cetera. You want to know what is the crazy. So this case is, this is what we were all doing last night, by the way. So bear with us. We are like always sunny in Philadelphia when, who is it?

What am I, what am I, the, always sending affiliate of Charlie work, Charlie. Charlie was at the wall and he's got like all of these conspiracy theorists. That was us last night trying to run the story down. So a Reddit post blew this case open. I can hear a redditors going, reporting for duty. I mean, Jiminy Christmas, not only did they save us, not the dumb, progressive ones, not only did they save us with memes, but also this during COVID, but also this investigation came.

So they blew this case. It was a guy on Reddit that blew this case wide open, which is stunning to me. And I'm pulling up some of this. And again, Lorraine has this on the newsletter over at Subsect Chapter and Verse. So this guy,

this redditor, known only as John, just John the Redditor. Juan is dying laughing over here. We never really hear Juan unless he's like snorting with laughter. And then you kind of, because it's so dark over in the corner. And the monitor is like 5,000 feet tall. So John the Redditor, he posted about a suspicious car in the area.

And then he went to go speak to the police about it. Wow. They tracked down the car. It turned out to be the rental. It was super easy for them to locate it via cameras. And then the exact vehicle was spotted near the professor's home, eventually found at the storage facility. in New Hampshire.

So you're telling me that a Redditor and not the police found this out. I mean, because we've all been a little kind of critical of the, you know, investigation with Brown because remember yesterday, what was our big thing yesterday? They hadn't even interviewed a single student at all about it. They had not interviewed anybody. So they found the storage facility in New Hampshire. and he was there. Now, I got to say, because when Lorraine has her pieces up, sometimes the bias slips in.

It's funny. She writes, but this is true, a thousand percent. She said, Cash Patel's brag about the FBI's sophisticated cell phone tracking system turned out to be useless, which is true. We heard a lot about that. There was like a number of stories. There were little tweets about that yesterday, tweets posts on X about that yesterday. so he had switched the license plates on the car to make it harder to track and then he had a Google phone that incorporated that had an app on this phone that made it hard that made it harder to find his actual location and obscured it and he may have used a SIM card a European SIM card to even make it harder so nobody knows the motive I mean I don't know if they're going to go through this I don't know if there's anything in the storage unit I don't know what that is but you know I I I don't know I I I don't know what he could have in there that might shed some more light on this. This is such a wild

story. So he apparently also never yelled Alahu Akbar, the Aloha snack bar. So there was something, there was a teacher, a student teacher who was involved in one of the study sessions that told ABC that the killer had shouted something that was inaudible or not inaudible, but he couldn't understand what it was. And then it kind of exploded from there. And then it ended up, I mean, I even heard it repeat it on Fox News. Not only did I heard it repeat it on Fox News, but someone even said it on CNN. So that apparently didn't happen either.

So what was this? What was this? Do you have theories, Kane? This is a weird one, even for me. Do you have theories? Were they gay lovers? Was he a scorn lover? I don't know.

I don't know. I'm like entertaining everything. I mean, the guy was reporting that witnesses were saying either they heard nothing from him or they heard barking noises and that was it. He barked. I don't understand that. But maybe Aloha snack bar sounds like a bark when you're screaming it. Aloha snack bar. I mean, yeah, I can see that.

That tracks. So we're going to come back. to this because I got more. But wait, there's more. With the purchase of one slapchop, you get another. So, in Bondi Beach, the group of dudes that they arrested, technically it's yesterday, they, because they rammed their, they were running their car and trying to use their car as a terrorist weapon. They all have connections to the Bondi Beach terrorists. Shocker, shocker. Also, it's Epstein File release day, apparently. Are we supposed to actually get more? Is it going to be on?

unredacted? Are they going to just give it to give already published information to gullible digital people of the night and try to act like they broke something? I don't know. But they're trying to redact

thousands of documents hours before the legally required release today. There's a lot of photos that are already leaking out, including some with former President Bill Clinton. So they're They're wondering, now they're concerned about the rushed workflow.

They don't want to unintentionally release people's social security numbers. Kane, quick question, because I know we have headlines coming up. Why does an AI do this? Oh, my gosh. That's a great question. It seems like a task AI should do. Can't, I mean, can't AI do this? Can't you just feed this through AI and say, can you redact, you know, social security numbers or victim names or something like that?

I mean, it seems like that's. I'm not claiming to have a full knowledge of AI, but you're right, it does sound like that's something I could do. Is there, are you, are they not able to use AI to do this because of the privileged information in it? Is that a concern? Maybe. Because I was thinking, and I asked two people about this and they're like, actually, we don't

know. So is there, is that like a whole other set of legal, like you can't feed that into AI because it's a, I don't know, I have questions. Yeah, we're in the learning phase. So I have a frillion things for you, including a really bad endorsement that POTUS made in Texas. Ooh, guys, this isn't a toughie. We're going to talk about this and talk to one of the candidates involved. You know him as the AK guy, Brandon Herrera.

He's going to be joining us later on in the program. And then we're also going to do our requisite last day of broadcast. We've got to talk about Jesus' gifts. Rule of my house is Jesus only got three gifts. You're no better than Jesus. You're not out there saving the world. You get three. And I'm not giving them frankincense and myrr.

But wait, there's mer. So we're going to get into all of that and mur. So don't go any of it. It's never going to stop. It's never going to end. I'm so sorry. We have headlines on the way. The folks who help bring the program to you, it's the folks over at Burn a Gun.

I'm always going to tell you to carry. I'm going to tell you this every single time. I have zero problem using lethal force. F-A-F-O. It's not my problem. It's yours. I also understand you have college. kids that live in towns where they got to walk to campus or they got to go back to their

apartment or go to a parking garage and it's not actually it's not you know usually the safest situation but maybe they can't carry because they're under the age of 21 they could if they were serving in our armed forces carry full auto overseas but nothing to protect themselves at home or what if you have to walk go into a building for work and you can't care you can't protect yourself and there isn't any good security this is where burn a gun comes in you know this christmas it's all about diversifying what you have in order to maximize your protection in every different scenario. And Berna does that. The compact launcher is the C. This is the one I'm going to tell you to look at. They have other things, but disregard all that right now. Just look at the CL because this is

for this purpose. It's roughly the size of a smartphone. It's chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. And unlike regular stun guns, which maybe have two, one or two rounds, this is a 15 shot round capacity. So that's a lot more. You can get all kinds of different projectiles, they have accessories, but this is about being prepared. So do everything that you can possible to make sure that you are defended in every situation, in every scenario, no matter what. And Berna can be part of that solution. You're not giving up anything with 2A by diversifying and getting around some of this other stuff because Berna, they don't care about gun-free zones. There's no gun-free zones. Because not a gun, see, no gun-free zones. It doesn't care about that.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. This is such a sad story. A suspect has been arrested in a deadly shooting of a Salvation Army bell ringer at Kroger.

Can I just say that the Salvation Army is one of the greatest organizations that we have in the country that goes and helps people. we did a lot of stuff with them when we lived in St. Louis. They are an amazing group of people. They go where no one goes, and they are so impactful. This just hurts the heart. Police are still investigating. It happened about 6 p.m. yesterday, and the suspect is a teenage boy. So that means some deadbeat parent had their kid running around in a legal possession of a pistol. They said it was not a random occurrence, and that the Salvation Army released the statement that they were heartbroken. and Kroger said they were as well, so our prayers are with them. I went really, really long last segment, and I apologize.

If you are listening to Restrially, it is one of the best collabs that you will ever hear. Feast thine ears Upon the duet The dulcet tones of one being Crosby And David Bowie I mean Is there anything better?

No, there's not For all the kids Who are unaware of this If you don't have this track On any Christmas jam list That you will put in rotation Over the festive season I'm going to deport you

It's just going to happen I don't care if you were born here or not. Deport you somewhere. Because this is a requirement. Yes, David Bowie's British. I don't care. It's one of the best ever. It's so good.

How weird is it, too, that they did it? Isn't that weird? Like, they're so great. I love being Crosby. Being Crosby, oh, my gosh. David Bowie, oh, my gosh. Such a great track. There's so many.

So I've saved the best Christmas tracks for last today. So we got a bang and bumper. Steve was like, why are you only telling me these? It's like, well, because we're saving the best for last is why. Like, we're going out with the bank. So welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. Definitely overly caffeinated today.

And we have a lot to unpack. I want to get you set up for the week. I want to basically make you exhausted by the end of the show. So you're like, I definitely need a break from politics. I did not watch the, I didn't watch the live TPSA thing yesterday because I was working. I had stuff to do. I was getting ready for today, et cetera. and then also getting ready for Christmas.

But I caught a couple clips and I was talking to my friend, Ben and our friends, and we talk. You know, we're not like best friends where we, you know, have house parties together or anything, but we talk. I've known him for over a decade.

Actually, 15 years now I've known him. We kind of grew up together. He's only a couple of years younger than me. We sort of grew up together in this industry, which is weird in this industry, because these are people that I've seen, people that I've known since they were like thin and wore bow ties or when they were a lot younger and less mussely or younger and they didn't have gray hair. It's just weird to grow. It's weird to be in an industry like this. So I watched clips of it and I really liked I mean what I thought what Ben said needed to be said and he's exactly right. And it's not just you know he he's you know he well let's just Let's just play cut one. This is a quick cut. Listen.

And the people who refuse to condemn Candace's truly vicious attacks, and some of them are speaking here, are guilty of cowardice. Yes, cowardice. The fact that they have said nothing, while Candace has been vomiting, all sorts of hideous and conspiratorial nonsense into the public square for years is just as cowardly. And it's true, but it's more than just cowardice. I would add it's a lot more than just cowardice. It's ruthless ambition. Because a lot of these people, they just want a slice of the digital pie at any cost, at any cost. Even if that means debasing themselves and debasing the movement they're grifting off of for their lifestyles.

A lot of the people that are trying to weigh in on this now, these are people who were never in the streets with us during the days of the Tea Party. These are the people who don't know what heavy lifting in politics is. These are the people who've never gotten the threats and have never taken the arrows, ever. That is who these people are. They're opportunists. Or some of them just do commentary or some of them, you know, they, they, these are, that's the difference. between, I would say, people like myself and Ben and some of these others and then some of these other, you know, thought influencers. And I would put Candace in that exact, and Tucker

in that exact same category. You know, reading copy that your producers prepare for you on cable news is not the same as authoring your own speeches and doing your own research and helping to pass issues, get people elected, and stop bad candidates. There's a big difference. And I say that because it's like the people that have the least amount of skin in the game that want to control the game. And now that everything is shifting to digital, it's just ruthless ambition. They realize that in order to be relevant, they have to be seen as kingmakers in terms of the movement. And they have to somehow create this veneer of having been part of the movement structure from the beginning, which they weren't. it's not about gatekeeping it's about questioning someone's moral compass and their ethical consistency

and when you have people on your program as i have had people on this program when you're bringing people on and you're asking them questions you have to make the determination what are you doing who are you are you an activist serving only your own interests are you there to serve your audiences' interests. Because if you're serving the interests of the audience, you need to be asking the questions that are going to help inform the audience, not just manipulate them. You know, going out and saying, well, you know, I don't know, but I think we might be having war in Venezuela. Oh, I don't know. That's just manipulation. You're not informing anyone. That's just stupid. some of these people are my friends or that I'm friendly with and I mean no ill will but I'm not going

to not say anything about it I operate by kind of the book of Matthew I'll go to somebody privately first and we'll have that conversation privately and then you know if they if they're resistant or if they're nasty then you know we'll have the discussion publicly it's just it's incredibly disingenuous it's all about it is ambition it's all about people who are trying to get a slice of the digital pie like when people go oh well we're just asking questions you know they they exclaim super defensively while literally not asking any questions at all whatsoever how in the hell do you sit across from a nazi twink who basically pleasureed himself to hitler and loves Stalin and not

ask him about that. How do you sit across from a guy who called the wife of the vice president a jeet, a guy that would not be in office had you not helped him, and you not ask him about that? That's what the audience is wanting to know. They're wanting to know about the moral consistency. Not a, well, yeah, he said that, but no, they won moral consistency and accountability is part of that. There's no reconciliation without it either, and that's biblical. Or they say, we don't want to attack our side. I watched one commentator say, oh, I'm not going to attack our side. You know, Candace is like my sister.

I'm not, but then went on and did three videos attacking Ted Cruz. Or goes off on Mark Levin. What do you mean you don't want to attack your side? You're all about attacking your side if you're attacking the people that are trying to hold you accountable for the dumbass things you're saying. Yes, you are attacking your side. You traffic and attacking your side. fact, all of Tucker Carlson's episodes are about attacking our side. This is where I'm starting to get mad and where I'm starting to be like, you know what, may the burning bridge light my

path. Let's play cut for because this is ridiculous. What you're watching now? Attacking people on the attacking millions of Americans because they're Muslims? It's disgusting. I'm a Christian. I'm not a Muslim. I'm never going to, I know there's a lot of effort to claim I'm a secret jihadi. I'm not you should not attack people on those grounds and you're seeing it from republic what the hell are you doing what you're doing is trying to divide the country and i've lived through 50 years of this crap all these fake race wars that they're always promoting who's they go hate each other who is they first off what do you mean who is they always promoting secondly i couldn't tell you were a christian by your behavior or by the demonstrated lack of understanding on scripture

or the idea of calling people who interpret revelation differently blasphemous and likening them to the demons that you fought in bed. I don't, I don't, that's what gets me. The way that he put that is a disingenuous misrepresentation. That is the same argument that the left uses when they talk about deportation. You're just deporting grandmas and tomato pickers. What are you doing? It's the same, it's the same formula disingenuously misrepresenting the number of Islamist terror attacks and the percentage

of you know who are Islamist terrorists which by the way is a way higher percentage than any other demo maliciously misrepresenting that as race hate is preposterous and suicidal

so essentially what he's saying is if you're upset over Bondi Beach, then you're a bigot. If you're upset over the attacks on Christmas markets in Bavaria, in Brussels, in France, in London, in Spain, in Italy, if you're upset over the attacks on Christmas markets, I guess you're a bigot. If you're upset about the acid attacks on women, I guess you're a bigot. If you're upset over female genital mutilation, you're a bigot. If you're upset over the Navy Yard shooting, you're a bigot. If you're upset over Fort Hood, you're a bigot. I mean, that's just the logic going all the way through to its final conclusion. Who is they?

Don't sit here and talk about people. They want you. They. Who the hell is they? If you're going to present this, then you have not only a moral, ethical, but also an intellectual responsibility. to define those whom you are accusing. Otherwise, I'm just assuming he's talking about Jews. Who the hell is they? Oh, they with their race hate. They with their race war. Who is they?

Because the only people of perpetuating a race war are literal Islamists. This is just doing heavy lifting for the Islamification of the Western world. That's all that is. They with their race hate lecturing the United States. about hating Muslims, while you defend Qatar and act like it's a Christian bastion, you know, where you can't even worship amongst their over 95% slave labor population. You have to go to the outskirts of Doha, where you can't even erect a cross on the side of your building. You have to worship very quietly indoors. And you can't talk to anybody about it. And if you try to proselytize,

oh my gosh, you could be killed. Who is they? why wasn't that ever answered he sounded defensive and it was one of the worst things i mean i don't think it was his brightest moment i really don't and i thought what ben said was correct i mean you know especially over nick fuentes and other things this is the problem you know having these debates on the right fine no one's talking about not having a debate but you're talking about ideas that were settled in 1945 with the blood of Americans. Entertaining the idea that was entertained on some of these podcasts was settled by the blood of our grandfathers in 1945. And you spit on that legacy by tickling the jimmies of the people

who traffic this stuff. You're no better than a westernized Bacabazi. And that's a absolute truth. And the sad thing is, is they know it. And that's one of the things that fuels their resentment. Imagine being reduced to defending the very thing that would debase you. Imagine being reduced to defending Islamism. I mean, imagine being reduced. to political dancing for Islamist masters.

And then you had Owens that posted yesterday that she thinks Shapiro's, oh, more than ever involved with, you know, attacks on America, et cetera. I mean, just the insane stuff that she says. I don't even remember her whole post. She's trying to do everything that she can to make her money before her gay husband is disinherited by his father because then they're going to be in a world of pain.

I don't think the McCrones are letting up. I don't like the McCrones, but I don't like Owens either. They're all one and the same. Somebody has a giant male copulatory organ, and sometimes I wonder if it's not Brigitte, if you know what I mean. We have a lot more on the way. Our partners that help make the program possible, it is the folks over at Preborn.

You can help them meet their year-end goal. They're trying to get ultrasounds in all of these women's clinics. And $28 provides a free ultra-tron. to a woman who's considering life. Every mother served by pre-born faces this life-changing moment. And when pre-born has women meet their babies through these ultrasounds, and again, $28 is all it cost. That baby's chance at life actually doubles. It's a pretty amazing thing.

And there's numerous studies that show this, too, by the way. And with pre-born, you don't have to stop at just $28 for free ultrasound. You can donate 100. You can donate 150. Whatever you donate, it goes right directly to these women. It's tax deductible. And it helps them make the choice of life. And Preborn doesn't just stop at the ultrasounds. I mean, they partner with these women for the first two years of their lives. And they help with counseling and maternity and diapers and so much more. Fifteen thousand dollars purchases one whole ultrasound machine. And because of a special matching grant this year, your gift is instantly doubled. So your gift today is instantly doubled. If you donate a 15,000 for an ultrasound machine, that means there's two ultrasound machines because of your donation. And it equips clinics with two life-saving machines.

or something because I would make it even like Jesus instead of Frosty I mean I'm not against this at all. Where did you find this? It's ACDC my dude. I am not against this at all but I really I mean can you imagine what if it was like a silent

night that they did this on? Jesus right? Oh my gosh how great would that be? I mean I'm not against this but I think they could have amped it up instead of doing like a secular Christmas song you could have totally taken a Christian him and just like pump those numbers up man

got that rookie beat up that would have been sweet dude actually rock of ages dude so it's a big thing in Texas do we have time to play the camel kicking the lady? Okay this is a camel that kicked a lady in the head at a live nativity

Preston Wood Baptist Church Dallas and she got kicked Yeah they took her to the hospital after she got punched in the head by a camel. They kind of go over the top. The tickets are, well, they've been getting criticized for the price of the tickets.

And I realize that they use that money for activities and stuff for the rest of the year. It is a little over the top. How do we feel about that? Camels ain't cheap. Yeah, camels ain't cheap. How we feel about it? Do we know how we feel?

You're not going to get struck by lightning. It's okay. You know. All right, we got a lot more on the way. Shocker, the guy who literally created Obamacare is governor of Massachusetts. It's once a Marxist tax scheme for all. The latest for Mitt Romney. We got a whole bunch.

Stick with us. The folks who help for you the program. It's the turmeric chews. You can fight inflammation. I just think they taste like candy. I mean, look, I'm going to be really honest with you? I really don't care that they help. I don't care because they taste like candy.

They taste so good. There's no added sugar in them. So my body's like, ooh, it's candy. And I just eat it, like tons of it. I eat tons of these turmeric chews. I'm surprised I'm not orange. but they it's not the best way to sell it but i'm being honest with you it's all about helping your body's uh healthy response to inflammation and it's from the same folks who do the super beats heart

shoes so the problem with turmeric is that it's not super absorbable right it's not the most you know it has really great antioxidant properties but it's a little hard to be completely beneficial totally useful in the way it needs to be to the body you know so that's i mean that's standard turmeric extract, that's an issue that they have. But with the folks at human who do superbeats, the turmeric chews they have, they use this clinically studied turmeric curcumin complex. And so what that does is it's made a, they created a complex that helps solve the issue of utilization by making a

highly absorbable form of it. So they made it easier to absorb so it's more beneficial to your body, meaning that one chew and you get your whole day's supply, right? It's an orange citrus flavored chew. It tastes amazing and easy to take. And it's a standout form of turmeric. Just one serving and you're getting the equivalent antioxidant support of what you'd find in like pretty large, you know, amounts of standard turmeric. Right now is the perfect time to get them because the Sam's Club, Sam's Club has $5 off right now.

So this offer ends, however, December 29th. And once it's gone, it's gone. So for real, legit go to Sam's Club. Just stock up on them because you'll notice a different. I take these every day. And I take more than one a day, meet myself. But head to Sam's Club, grab your turmeric chews, $5 off until December 29th. Welcome back to the program.

Sorry, I'm looking at Christopher Lee music stuff. I can't. It is. You know Christopher Lee did a sweet metal Christmas album, right? I know, right? Pretty awesome. The guy did Sarmoni did. great Christmas metal album.

Welcome back to the program. Chats at Rumble. This is our last show, Ho, Ho, Ho, Ho of this year. We come back on January 6th and Substack Chapter and Verse podcast over at Apple. So, do you guys like watch a lot of Netflix?

I have Netflix because you have the Great British baking show that's on it. So I watch that. That's good. Yeah. That's good. Yeah.

I used Netflix mostly for comedy. But I, they had a, let me just read it. Netflix was going to come out with a gay military series called Bits. Not like the Red Yard Kipling boots. What's it called? Bits. Oh. They, uh, it was previously described as woke garbage.

Let me just read it. Hang on. I'm going to pull this. up because this was the official to script from Netflix before it totally got canceled. It's totally canceled. So it's only so, oh my gosh, it's so funny.

There's only like a couple of episodes. Oh, man. It says Boots follows the story of Cameron Cope, who plays Miles Heiser, a gay teen from Louisiana, who's bullied and finds new purpose, an unexpected brotherhood

with his motley team of fellow recruits. That's it. The show depicted the character's experience joining under Clinton's 1990s. Don't ask, don't tell. Which meant you could join the armed forces, but don't gay it up,

right? You don't need to go out, wake up every morning and go, I'm gay, gay, gay, gay, you don't need to do that. Just, you know, you go serve and do your job. Weird. I mean, because it's like that in every other job, really, isn't it? I mean, do you, if you're, I don't know, if you're a dentist, are you screaming at your

patients, I'm gay! You know, I mean, you just show up and do your job. You're not constantly regaling people with how you do to sex, right? Like, why does everything have to be about how you have sex? If my mouthwash doesn't affirm which door I enter, then, you know, I just don't know if I can live my life. If you are so sensitive and fragile that you have to have inanimate objects with their packaging affirm your life, you might need to. So they, the policy, you know, 93, 2011, I love how they go. Well, critics largely praise the series. Boots are in a 90% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

If you don't know what Rotten Tomatoes is, Rotten Tomatoes is a hellscape of people who never leave their house. They're miserable. They hate you. They hate themselves. And they like the crappiest stuff out there ever. So if it has a great rating on Rotten Tomatoes, chances are it's heinous. especially if it's a horror film

especially if it's sci-fi especially if it's history really anything all of it so it shows this guy like for instance he's holding I mean he doesn't even look like he has enough arm muscles to hold a gun

number one his hair is way too long to even be in the military number two I mean sorry you're not going to have like a South Korean K-pop hair do and you're in the U.S. military it's not you're not an operator you're 18, you see now how this is working. So the

Pentagon Press Secretary back in October told Entertainment Weekly that it was woke garbage. And they, critics on Rotten Tomatoes said it's a likable dromity that explores masculinity and queerness to powerful effect.

It's not a war. It's a queer war. But do we need to explore it? Like what more do we need to explore in this subject? I mean, the military's supposed to be about fighting. Not the other F word. Stop, Kane. I didn't do it.

But, so they canceled it, boots. Because it's nobody's going to, who's going to watch that? And we're going to really miss that show, huh? In all of its four episodes? Gosh, I can't believe. I mean, how many, yeah, how many, to your point, how many ways has this been explored? Right. Has that topic been explored?

That tends to be the way they market these things. I don't think that you can explore it any more than it's been explored. It's a gay soldier. It's a gay soldier. Another gay soldier. It's a movie, but a gay soldier. I mean, hell, Hallmark is gay soldier. I mean, everything is gay soldier.

They've had a million of these. Gay cowboys, even. They've had a million. just stop what is the point Steve goes it's faking oh my gosh I'm reading what Steve put in slack Steve put fake and gay is he serving or serving true just like nobody cares I really feel like some gay activists still think it's a big thing to go I'm gay because most people are like so like 99% of people so

because we're living our lives and we just don't care that's like somebody coming up and saying I shave my armpits today nobody cares literally nobody cares right you're talking about just like nobody cares stop it why do people try to make you care about things that you don't want to care about I don't like being forced to care about things I don't want to care about

cane it makes me uncaring it makes me a hate bear not a care bear the grumpy was my favorite he was underappreciated and underutilized. Was that the one with the storm cloud on that? Yes, he was my favorite. I had him when I was a kid.

I loved Grumpy Bear. He was the best. He really did have a soft heart. But it was no nonsense. He was no nonsense. Anyway, to my point, I didn't, there was no way I was even going to test this out because the promotional footage, enough, was bad. So, like, apparently there were even gay members of the military going no way he carries that

gun for any amount of distance with it i mean they were just shredding it just looked bad i mean i think even when you have to gaze that don't like it because it's too what's the word i'm looking for um pandering it's you know it's just super pandering i don't know i'm looking at this and it's just something else did you i didn't watch it did you even see it on netflix i didn't even see it on netflix no any teasers for it or no i haven't seen it yeah i didn't see anything on it so i i don't which is weird if it got such a great reading on you know ryan tomatoes i don't think that netflix promoted it enough i think they were like oh it's another megan markle type content oh it's hide this away we don't want to promote it like they have algorithms in their systems too

that just shows where people are consuming similar content they're going to push that my netflix algorithm has no idea what is going on with me it's like does she like baking or does she like anime or K-dramas? We don't even know. And then here's some serial killer stuff. Mine's like ancient aliens and comedy. It's like they don't even go together. Oh, mine's all.

It's aliens. Because I watch all my westerns like on Amazon and Paramount. So it's aliens, baking, K-dramas. Because K-dramas are wholesome, by the way. That's some of the most wholesome stuff you can watch. K-dramas, and what's the other one? Oh, serial killers. stuff. Not really serious, but like unsolved mysteries. The OG with Robert Stack. That man's

voice was terrifying and also amazing. So it, I don't even, I don't see any of that stuff. So maybe that's why. It's never going to show me. Here's some gay military stuff. I mean, it's literally the tags for it are gay military. Nobody, nobody care. Who made this? Like a baby boomer? Like a baby boomer, like almost like an old elderly Gen Xer that still thinks this kind of stuff is relevant? I don't know. Just odd. Super odd.

So, I'm not going to be watching that. None of us are going to be watching that. I saw talking about some immigration and media. Let me tell you guys this story. I don't know if you saw this story from ABC. It's a great ABC story, guys. Ready for it? Here's the headline.

Two Massachusetts men traffic nearly $7 million worth of benefits intended for people who cannot afford food. So it's more snap fraud. Two Massachusetts men. So crazy these Massachusetts men. These just random Massachusetts men. Just a couple of guys. Just a couple of people.

I hate the auto play ads. Just two of these dudes, like Maryland dads. Oh, well, wait a minute. Antonio Bonhoor and Saul Alis May. Okay. All right. But wait. Massachusetts men? And nowhere. At nowhere in any point in the story.

Not only does ABC not share the photo of the perps. But it doesn't tell you that they're actually Haitian. Okay. I got a just quick question for everybody. Chat, check your maps. Just a quick question. Is Massachusetts in Haiti? I'm going to go with no on that one for $500.

Can we do for $500? Yeah. Massachusetts is. Or did they mean to say Haiti and they just said Massachusetts instead? I mean, you know, typo. One hell of a typo. Yeah, I mean, instead of writing Haitian, they said mass and toothits. It's just.

Is there a fine line between typo and lying? Yeah, I don't know. But not at any point. And it wasn't just ABC. So four other newsagent, none of the big news agencies even mentioned that they were literally from Haiti. And they were engaging in snap fraud. Seems like that's kind of important to mention. especially when we're talking about state after state after state where you have people who are

coming in and they are targeting these programs exploiting them and using them to build taxpayers out of billions of dollars. In fact, to that point, I was reading that, let me pull this up, bear with me. So in Somalia, I think they had, what, a GDP of something like, what is it? Is it 17 billion? I have notes on this. Let me look this up. So essentially, they, the amount of taxpayer money that they defrauded taxpayers of in just Minnesota exceeds the entire GDP of Somalia. yeah yeah 18 billion in claims paid out and that's greater than the GDP of Somalia that cane that seems seems kind of importante yeah yeah I would say so that that that that seems kind of important that's huge think about now you know we're going to find this in other states

We're only just now finding this in states like Maine and now Massachusetts and elsewhere. It is so unbelievably bad, partners that bring you the program, Ammo Squared. This is a great way to worry-free solution to collect, curate your ammunition for the future and not get caught empty-handed, right? They have over 70 calibers, go there, set a monthly budget, even like define what you want, set your parameters. And what they do is they automatically curate and grow your ammo reserve. You set it and forget it. And you can go back at any point in the website and change it at any time. It's super easy to do. And your ammunition stays secure in a climate controlled facility until you want it shipped. So there's no minimums, no hidden fees. You get free shipping on orders over 250. It's a great idea if people want to try out new calibers. Maybe if you're out of space at home, I literally have to get another she safe. All my safes are full. I'm not kidding you. I have like giant people. So this is a great idea if you're literally, because you can never have enough, right? Stop. It's America. So this is also a great idea for Christmas.

Visit Ammo Squared, set up an ongoing ammo supply. Don't run out when accounts stock up before and after training, restock after to stay ready. Visit Ammosquare.com. Tell them Dana sent you. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Airports are bringing back Love Actually Magic and allowing non-flyers through security lines for the first time in decades. This is interesting.

now they said that this is in Britain well actually no it's in Oakland too Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport is the latest airport offering passes for non-ticketed guests to go past TSA checkpoints and they have to be approved

for the Oak pass OAK that's what the airport announced on Monday it's the first time since the 9-11 attacks that this has happened they said that visitors can go through the TSA checkpoint with their digital pass as well as their real ID or passport

they said they were trying to boost traffic to the airport which is stagnated since the pandemic and they said it's you know it'll generate more people going they want to make it the most convenient airport etc Seattle Tacoma also did it they started it back in 2018 Detroit began offering a destination pass now Philly has done the same thing several other airports have rolled out a guest pass system like a hangout pass it's not a permanent program and they you can get into you can go through and without having a plane ticket just so long as you go through security and you can get into the airport. So that's actually that's kind of helpful. Like if you've got like family members that need assistance,

especially if they're grumpy and they don't want assistance from the airport. You know, if you have that kind of stuff, it's super helpful. It's helpful like if you're meeting family members that are a little younger, you know, like I remember before 9-11 going to the airport and getting my little cousins. So that's helpful. And let's see, Waymo. Oh, Oh, no, another way more driving down the wrong street, literally on a busy highway, literally driving in Austin, Texas, down the wrong side of a highway. It's like planes, trains, and automobiles. You're going the wrong way.

How does he know where we're going? Okay. Oh, it drove right by, I mean, apparently it even blew past a school bus even, right past the lights. and, you know, as kids were getting off the bus, we got to figure out this stuff. I'm just saying, every time we,

I just hear all of these accidents involving these Waymo cars, right? Patriot Games. So, the White House is revealing things to celebrate America's 250th birthday, including the Patriot Games where they're having two Americans

from every state compete. They're going to have the UFC. Biggest fireworks display in the world. I mean, they're going to have a, state fair on the national mall, all kinds of stuff. It's going to be, I think I actually may go

there for this. It's going to be a party. I'm saying that would be kind of cool to see in person, you know what I mean? Also, every New York City subway station is going to get spikes and paddles to combat fair evasion. And now they're trying to say psychedelics might fix your depression. This was the mushroom thing that they were talking

about. I mean, it's not like getting high on drugs. It's a very clinical thing. We have a lot more on the way, including our Potions Master annually joins us. Stay with us. Keep your finger on the Pulse with the Dana Show podcast, delivering timely news with insightful analysis, whenever you want, straight to you on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. It's our last show of this year. And, you know, we rejoin in 2026 on January 6. It'll be easy enough to remember. So welcome back. One of my favorite things to do this time of year is I really, you know, Kane really shine. when he gets to bring all his potions out and I am looking I one day we're going to have a camera on him if he allows it we're going to have a camera on him because he has the bougiest looking warmer for that I have ever seen like it makes my little warmer look like I don't know like the great value warmer I mean it's like gold and it has a fancy it's a wonderful gift and it's just sitting there just you know very not just just sitting over there and it's burning Franken's no heating

yes warming warming sorry that is a warmer frankincense fine now he got into this and i and we like to talk about you know especially you know the birth for the lord and savior the gifts that were given to baby jesus from the wise men as the beach boys were just telling you about coming in with you know we three kings and the weirdest thing about this is the frankincense that you have going in your boozy warmer I have nothing in my olfactory library that I can compare this to. It is so different. Yeah, it's uniquely clean. Jesus had this.

Yeah, very clean, unique smell. So, yeah, I mean, and it's like was very expensive back in them days, you know, back in the days of your. So Kane got into this from a good friend of his who we affectionately refer to, but I really do think it should be his actual title, certified potions master. And John Lannius, who does Sheehan Wellness, and he's the founder. He does a lot of really good stuff for our veterans as well. He's the director of community outreach

for the Special Operations Charity Network, and one of the cool things that they're doing as well because he assists veterans that deal with PTSD, and he looks for ways to help alleviate their PTSD symptoms and support a network that gets them back You know, it gets them back to feeling good and feeling at peace. And so part of that network is spec ops water, which is not just your sissy water. This is the water that if you have muscles, you drink this water.

All the other water is sissy water. But it's called spec ops water. Hydration is the mission and it supports veterans. So, you know, when you drink it, make sure the skulls out, which I love how it automatically is. You don't have to just advertising it. But he joins us now. John joins us now, and he's so great. He gives us some of his time every year, and he joins us now.

John, always goes so good to see you. Merry Christmas. I appreciate because I understand that I have you to thank for Kane's super fancy, warmer over here. Well, absolutely. Dana, wonderful to see you again. A lot has gone on in the past year. When we last met, we were talking about orbs. We were talking about lights in the sky.

I mean, so much has gone on. Yeah, atlas. Yeah, right? But we may come back to that because obviously the lights in the sky go well with the season. But let's bring it down to earth, one might say, talking about frankincense. So when you were talking about frankincense there a moment ago, talking about how there is nothing in your scent library around that, is that that's absolutely true. In the same way that we are now living in a culture that is riddled with synthetics. We're talking synthetic

medication. We're talking, you know, all this call it big farmer, call it what you want, is that the pendulum is swinging backwards to actually bring back some of these remedies that we've been using as a human species for thousands of years. When you talk about frankincense, for example, when we talk about the Song of Solomon 3.6, you know, one of the lines from that literally is, who is it that comes perfumed with mure and frankincense? You know, when you talk about they gave him wine to drink mixed with mur, gospel of v. Mark 1523, we're talking about fragrances that are biblical, but that are completely applicable today. It is not an accident that every religion and every culture has had incense. And so when you talk about the work that I'm doing with the Special Operations Charity Network, the work that I'm doing at Lifetime Media as an executive, bringing media to these things that we're doing,

really showing this across the world, we're taking our veterans and our active military and our first responders and putting them back where they need to be, which is centered so that they can make an even bigger difference for people. Yeah, that's such a great point. For those just joining, we're talking with our friend John Lonnie, Shihon Wellness, and he does a lot of stuff with PTSD veterans and helping to kind of like rehabilitate them to get them back, living their best lives. One of the things that Ken and I were talking about on break as well is, and I have friends who have been involved in lobbying for psychedelics in terms of therapies for veterans, which I really wish members of Congress would pay attention to. It's not like people going

out and doing drugs and getting high. It's not that at all. It's literally about rewiring your brain. And to that point, you know, I was telling Kane that if you, I'm going to bring the tugboat to shore, if I smelled Beth Bath and Body Works says, what is it? What do I say? The cucumber, I'm immediately transported back to eighth grade. Boom. I am in my bedroom I'm in eighth grade I've got you know Chenate O'Connor on the radio Q 106 I'm like you know hearing you know all of this I've got less air in at night I'm you know smelling the bath and body where I am immediately transported to that time I can almost see it just from the scent of it and like my girlfriends and I joke all the time like oh my gosh like some of

the old like you know target perfume that we would smell you're immediately poured it back to that time, similar to those therapies. And that makes so much sense in the world. Talk to me about that. Yeah. So we're talking about the limbic system. So the limbic system is our seat of memories and emotions. And if you haven't figured it out, we're all emotional beings. And so, you know, that drives everything that we're doing. So that's get very specific about how I use the limbic system, especially with our veterans and our active military. I am now, actively working with different teams and different groups. Some of this I can't talk about, but this is all through the Special Operations Charity Network. But we already know that our soft

operators, our special operation forces, are learning how to box breathe. They're using these what might seem woo-woo type things, but it's really, but it works. Absolutely. So, you know, for me, what I talk about a lot is that for 30 years, I've been taking people from the woo-woo to the wow-wow. And what I mean by that is that when you first get access to some of this, like, oh, you're an incense master, what, you know, that must be woo-woo. Well, no, if you suddenly find yourself centered, if, you know, like people that have migraines, I disappear their migraines in moments with this stuff that I do. But that's take specifically, you know, someone with PTSD. And it can, it can be a veteran. It can be someone in business. But the minute

that you've got PTSD, you've got that moment where when something comes up, it triggers you, it sends you out of your regulation, well, if I'm able to take you to a place before the trauma, and, you know, if you grew up on a farm, there are a myriad of fragrances that you associate with that would take you back to, for example, your high school days with less Aaron and the music and everything in your room, and that actually transports your mind to a different time in your experience where you can then start to feel safe, you feel centered, and then you can start the path to healing. In my hypnosis work, for example, I talk about how the more relaxed you are, the deeper the healing. So we're looking at getting very, very relaxed. So if we're looking

specifically at frankincense, and I'm talking Baswalia Sokra, for example, there are 19 different varieties of frankincense and two in contention. But Basualia Sokra is probably the one you have in the studio. And it's considered the best in the sense it has the highest amount of apine, which is a turpene shown to modulate the limbic system and support emotional regulation. This is like super scientific. Yeah. And but here's the thing. I live in the Midwest, but I work all over the world. And so I have to balance both the scientific aspect of it, the philosophical aspect, the historical aspect. And I think that's what gives me credibility because I'm not walking into the room necessarily floating wearing white robes, right? But it's literally, if you want

to have a conversation about the history of Christian incense, I can absolutely do that. If you want to have a conversation about Buddhist incense, all of that. Again, all of this is from the divine. All of this is from the creator. And it's not an accident that baby Jesus was given frankincense and mer. Frankincense on one level means Jesus is the king of kings. And so by using these things, by regulating our bodies and our minds to be the best and most optimal way that we can operate, this is the crux of this. And this is what I'm doing through the Special Operations Charity Network. You mentioned SpecOps Water.

They give 25 cents a can to what we do. And so that's huge. It's not a percentage. It's not like, oh, we promised at the end of the year. No. Every single can that they sell, they give SACN, Special Operations Charity Network, 25 cents. And that gets me where I need to be in the world to be able to take people on these experiences that you cannot explain.

I can talk about it. But it's like going to the moon and talking about going to the moon. When you're on the moon, it's a completely different experience. And I love that it's not in plastic either. I love that. That's my favorite thing. Yeah, absolutely. You were the one who told me last year the symbolism of giving me mer because it was a spice or spice that's used.

for like anointing and embalming. And that was kind of like foreshadowing, you know, with baby Jesus and the wise man giving him mur, which I did not realize that, the history of Mur. I mean, I know this, you know, I know the story of Jesus in and out. And I'm like, that actually is like every aspect of that story is about foreshad. That's brilliant. But I didn't even know that about Mur. I just, you know, I'm like, wait, there's mer. You know, I'm kind of, you know, jokingly refer to it like that. That is, That's significant because you got into the frankincense and the divinity of Jesus and then gold, the symbol of wealth and status is king. But I didn't realize Murr was used in that way. Let me ask you this.

What is in your experience the most, like if Kane was going to warm something, what is the most powerful thing, spice or how you would have described it to warm that has like the biggest impact in the brain? that you've seen in your work. Yeah. So let's take a pass, or let's take a moment from the Bible. So in the Bible, they will oftentimes talk about aloe. And some people think it's like the aloe plant. Not at all. So what we are talking about, so there is a wood from a tree called Aguilaria. And Aguilaria, in some of the more apocryphal texts, Adam and Eve were allowed to take this fragrance from the Garden of Eden. Actually, their garments smelled like this particular tree. And if you've ever seen the play Joseph in the Technicolor Dreamcoat, it's actually

based on that. And so Adam and Eve were allowed to take certain fragrances or clothes from the Garden of Eden that actually smelled like the Garden of Eden. And what this is, this is a plant called Aguilaria. And quite literally, it produces the mental clarity of a 30-minute meditation in a single inhalation. And so imagine if you literally had the being, the mind of a 30-minute meditation in a single inhalation, then you can commune with the divinity that is always all around us. And it's that powerful, but Dana, here's the thing. The really, really high-quality stuff, not the stuff that people say they're selling on the

internet, what I'm able to get and source costs anywhere between 1,500. and $3,500 a gram. That is a paperclip. But then you understand why the samurai across their 800 to 950 year history, depending on who you ask, they were using these fragrances before they would go into battle. And about 300 years into the samurai tradition, they figured out that we cannot just take our elite fighting forces and drive them into the ground and burn them out and send them into battle, we have to bring them back and regulate them. So that's where you've got things like tea ceremony, incense ceremony, flower arranging so you can balance that out. Fast forward to the age we're in now, this is the essence, the being of what I'm doing with our elite fighting

force through the Special Operations Charity Network and through all of our partners. You know, yesterday at the White House when President Trump was signing, you know, the reclassification of marijuana, three of my partners were standing right behind Trump. And so this is beginning to to seep out into places very powerfully. And so I'm so grateful to you and your show for allowing me to come on and talk a little bit about this because it's so outside of some people's orbits. It's fascinating. It's absolutely fascinating. And not to interrupt you, but it's less carcinogenic than if you're going to burn a candle that you get in the store. There's no carcinogens on this. There is because what I do, there is no smoke.

There's, it's pure fragrance. And so when you get, I mean, you know, you and I both are essentially in media and, you know, and we've met people that have a lot of smoke and mirrors around them. You know what I mean? And so when you're able to get rid of that and just be who you are and be the essence of what you are, under everything, all we want to do is be loved and appreciated for who we are, nothing more, nothing less. And so if you've gone into the military and you've had to do things that on one level at first glance, you know, create a cognitive dissonance, you, by doing these types of fragrances, you know, therapies, I just called it fragrancies. That's really funny. I think I just invented a new word. It makes sense. You know, this is this is where we begin. And so again, grateful to you for this platform to be able to speak about it. Well, thank you so much for what you do. And being like, and experience.

explaining it so well because, I mean, when you read it, you're like, oh my gosh, this is something, but you explain it incredibly well. John Lannius, Sheehan Wellness on Instagram, make sure you check out specopscharty.com and also spec ops water in the can. I mean, this is, this is the, again, this is the water for patriots right here. Get all the details on the website. John, so good to see you. Merry Christmas, my friend. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us. And now the studio smells amazing. And I feel like we're all real chill. I was real wired. Now I'm like, real chill just you know appreciate you thank you so much we'll talk again soon god bless you merry christmas thank you okay bye bye happy new year happy new year

it's his life mission to make bad decisions it's time for florida man all right so first up we got angry florida man who got charged after a golf cart break checked an e-bike rider dragging 50 to 100 yards on marco island Yeah, he's facing felony charges now from this because he apparently intentionally braked an e-bike rider with a golf cart. Why was the e-bike rider that close to him, though?

Well, there is a story. Yeah, but it's just like, is it because he was being at e-bag, the e-bike rider? Well, they say it unfolded, according to the police, the e-bike rider was dragged behind the guy's golf cart. They had a confrontation before the crash, all this stuff. It would be easier for me to read it. if the stupid pop-up ads that were killing my soul weren't like hiding everything. The bottom line is they almost hit each other and then...

And they got mad about it and were fighting about it. And so, yeah, yeah. Another man was accused of a DUI driving 100 plus miles per hour and he was nabbed under Florida's super speeder law. Huh. Huh. Rabbed under the super... That's 100 plus where the speed limit, by the way, was 60.

That's 40. Oh, no, it was 40. That's right. It was 40. That's a lot. That ticket's going to be. Big. Third hour coming up. We expect hundreds of thousands of firearms will be collected and destroyed through this

scheme. Consistent with the approach that was taken in 1996, the governor is proposing that states and territories will be responsible for the collection, processing and payment to individuals for surrendered firearms. The Australian federal police will then be responsible for the destruction of these firearms. So that's the Prime Minister of Australia saying that we're banning all the firearms again, but we do nothing about Islamism. I ended up sounding cockney and not Australian, but you get it. Welcome back to the program last show of the year. And of course, we're going to have the top band names, fictional band names, towards the end of the program.

And then we got AK guy coming up, Brandon Herrera, because there's a story you need to be, of which you need to be aware. This is, following this, cut 15. So this, the deputy prime minister under Albanese was asked, okay, well, what about the Muslim clerics who were all over Sydney and they're preaching against, you know, the infidels? Guys, just so you know, infidel isn't just Jews. It's Christians, too. For all of those people, like Tucker Carlson, I want to pretend that we have some sort of alliance with Islamists, demitude and infidel. Look those words up. See who's historically listed as being a part of those categories.

But this, he, I want you to listen to this. He was asked about this deputy prime minister as to the hate speech from the clerics. Listen to this answer. Do you feel like there needs to be, and should there be a greater emphasis on hate speech from Muslim clerics in the western part of Sydney? I think, look, I think, as I said earlier, what we've done is criminalized more forms of hate speech. And, you know, we criminalise the Nazi salute, obviously, that's in its own context. Oh my gosh. But we need to be looking at all of this.

Sounds like you're going. And it is really important that we have... So should there be a greater emphasis on this hate speech from Muslim clerics then? I don't want to... We will go through all of this. Wow. I emphasize that we have done more in terms of criminalizing hate speech than we have seen from any other government. But we need to look at all of this.

And we need to make sure that we've got the right laws in place and that we are doing everything we can to keep safe the vibrant multicultural society that we have. Wow, the Deputy Prime Minister, on a scale of Kamala, to POTUS. What's under Kamala? I think we found a new low, guys. Holy wow. Oh my gosh. That is literally one of the worst interviews I've ever. That's the deputy prime minister Richard Malmelson or Mals. He's taught he can't answer. He cannot answer. So they're not going to do anything about the clerics that are out there just so you know. nothing about the clerics, but it's going to be all about taking the guns to leave you defenseless in the face of Islamism. Jimmy Christmas. That's heinous. That is honestly one of the worst things I've ever. That's one of the worst I've ever seen. So we got a couple of other things. Potus is talking

about drug prices. We're going to, we'll get into that with headlines. I wanted to play this. This is cut 17, switching gears here, looking at Minnesota. So after, we've seen people like Letitia James blame manufacturers like Hyundai and Kia for making cars that are just too easy to steal guys. Like, you know, listen to the Attorney General Keith Ellison of Minnesota. He's saying the same thing that Letitia James, the AG of New York, is saying, listen to this. Instead, Key and Hyundai put their profits ahead of vehicle safety and ahead of people. Within months of the Kia Boys Challenge, we had a crisis on our hands, a public safety epidemic of vehicle thefts, financial harm to consumers, injury, and

tragically, tragically even deaths. Today I'm pleased to announce that we have reached the settlement with automobile manufacturers, Kia, and Hyundai, for their role in this costly deadly crisis. Okay, so look at the schmuck behind him, clapping like a seal. So first off, again, Letitia James said the same thing. So they're settling.

They sued Kia and Hyundai for being easy to steal. I'm waiting for them to sue Nike next for having shoes get stolen at the foot locker every damn time that there's, you know, a riot. You know, the foot locker gets looted. When is that going to happen? We're going after the footlockers. for making the shoes too easy to steal.

We're going after Nike and Adidas for making the shoes too easy to steal. Next, they're going to go after sexual assault victims for being too pretty and attracting predators. That's the same logic. They could go after the criminals. They could go after the people that are doing this. But instead, they're going to go after the manufacturers.

Because those poor criminals, it's not their fault. The reason that this criminal stunt stole them cars cane is because Kia and Hyundai made it just too easy for them to steal. Did you know that? You can't make this up. It is too stupid. You cannot make this up. That is one of,

that is one of the most unbelievable things. Wow. So, uh, yeah, that's, how does our judicial system even tolerate this and entertain it in any way? I don't get it. I, they created, a whole system for vaccine manufacturers in the 80s to prevent you from being able to actually sue them.

Correct. But now they want to go, and these are people that are actually creating products that you inject into your veins, and yet they don't want to do that. They don't want to give you the ability to sue the vaccine manufacturers, but somehow the car manufacturer?

This is like, listen to this. This is coming out of Birmingham, UK, cut 19. They installed, again, not going after the criminals, This is like a current thing. This is the trend. Don't go after the criminals. In Birmingham, they put up what they called hostile vehicle mitigation bollards.

Wait, what? Listen to this. Watch. These are the... I'm just beside our new HVM volars here on new streets. We've installed them to help protect and make our city center safer. Ensure that you can go. around your business shopping and enjoy yourself. We are installing a large number of these

right across the city center as well as another part of the city alongside our new CCTV and other programs like our new community safety officers. It is all part of a push to make sure that people are safe in our city. So it really creates a really accessible space for authorized vehicles so leaving it extremely strong. Do you know why they had to do this? Because they've had a handful of terror attacks where terrorists have taken trucks or SUVs and driven them into people. Like in Westminster, the bridge attack, Khalid Massoud, who drove an SUV into pedestrians, the London Bridge, where you had a terrorist drive a van, a van into pedestrians on the London Bridge, the borough market where they had a stabbing rampage and somebody drove something into a bunch of pedestrians. The Fensbury

Park, where you have to a man drive a van into a crowd. The Westminster car, another Westminster, I mean, this goes on and on. Liverpool, I mean, we can go on and on. So they don't actually say why they need them. They're like, oh, you know, because the vehicles, the vehicles, will into visit? No, it's because the Islamist driving the vehicles over people. That's why they had to put these things in there. That is why they had to. Who wants to know how much it costs to create a Franken penis?

Cut 23, please. This is all about the withdrawing taxpayer funds for gender. mutilation. This is, this is Dr. Oz. Sorry, you got to watch it, though, because I did. Viginoplasti, a vaginoplasti, a procedure child does not need, cost $60,000. Shockingly, a phalloplasti, the creation of a penis, costs on average in America, according to this data, high quality, $150,000 per child. I do believe with doing some work

that these prices have continued to increase with increasing manufactured demand and I must point out that the creation of a vagina in that case of a phalloplasti or a strontoplasti where you add

testicles, that's extra. The balls are extra. They are okay. They're not free. They're extra. It's an upcharge. That's like getting extra guac right? It's like, oh, you want extra guac? That's going to be extra. Oh, you want balls with your Frankenweener? That's going to be extra. Cain, I'm just delivering the news. It's the last show of

the year. I mean, this is news because our taxpayer dollars covered this news. Veterans can't get care for war injuries and PTSD, but somebody can go, I think I want to flay my own schlong and have a frankin thing happening here. $150,000, not including the beans. I mean, they would be, I mean, a pair of truck nuts does more than, you know, the Franken beans that you're going to put on a chick that's trying to, like, craft a, you know, a hobby-lobby type of, you know, male copulatory organ from her thigh meat. I mean, the truck nuts actually, I think they probably serve more of a purpose, Kane, don't you think? I would say so. Just throw some truck nuts on there, right? Save you some money.

Less of a health. What is it? How much extra were the beans? They didn't say how much extra it was. You know what? I'm going to reduce that cause for you. Truck nuts on Amazon. Just get some. It's got to be them. Do you guys want to see how you deal with dumb bigots who keep trying to follow the trend of harassing Jewish Americans in the United States of America? May I present to you? My new. favorite video. Ta-ta-da-da-da-da audio sound by 22, please cut 22.

Are you dressed? I'm proudly curious. Does he have a border? What are you talking to? Do you think borders are racist? Don't worry. You invited him to your mom.

You gave him a ticket. Oh. Oh. Watch him as he is. Look, he follows. And then a hero comes along with the strength to carry on. I recorded this video on my phone and then just slid it back and forth over and over again. So he's repeatedly slapping the guy.

And I'm going to probably have that in response to it. Oh, man, that's a beautiful thing. Let's see it again. Yeah, wow. There it is. Dunan, dunan, dunan, done it. I, I, I.

Dunan, dunan, dunan, Dunan, bam. Bamam, bamam, bamam,

bamam, bam bam. Bamam. It's so good. I could just, oh, watch. It's just, what?

And he walks back, holds it. What? I shakes like a woman. What? This never happens to me when I tweet stuff. When I tweet things like a badass on the internet, this never happens to me.

I'm going to have to go back to my doctor and get more testosterone so I can step up to this dude. I love it. I love how the dude follows him. Like, yeah, we found the new techno Viking. It's the Tux Viking. We found him. Here he is. I don't even know who that guy is, but that is funny as I'll get out.

High fives to that guy. Yeah, double high fives. What? All right. POTIS made a bad endorsement in Texas. If you have a choice between a constitutionalist or a gun control championing guy who actually supports amnesty, who are you going to pick? Well, POTUS pick the gun control champion that supports amnesty over an actual Second Amendment constitutionalist who does not. And now, all of the news you would probably miss.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five. I'm fascinated when some influencers go Don't go give in to like You know his namist hate or whatever In the meantime the Bondi beach hero Who happened to be a Muslim who disarmed The terrorist that was shooting All the kids on the beach

He's branded a traitor in Arab media Because he saved Jewish lives Not kidding you All of these Ramallah news outlets Starting in the West Bank and then it spread Throughout the Middle East They were calling him a traitor The guy who's in the hospital after he

saved lives. They called him a traitor. So spare me. People who get on stage and act like it's all just people are just hating these poor sweet. Shut up. Not even dealing with you. POTUS is, he announced the Patriot Games, two high school athletes from each state. They're going to pit them against one another as part of a series to mark the 250 years since the nation's founding. It's a little freedom 250, an organization that's going to lead the efforts to celebrate the nation's birthday in 2026. So pretty cool stuff. Also, Kathy Hockel is going to sign a bill to make assisted suicide legal in New York. She's turning New York into Canada. And Canada, they have seen these death rates just skyrocket. And the Virginia

lottery says, be aware of schemes when buying tickets this holiday season. Be very careful where you're getting them from and make sure you look at your purchases. Brandon Herrera up next. The Dana Show podcast. Your fast, funny, and informant of news companion for those always on the move. Subscribe on YouTube.

Apple or wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. You can listen in one of the hundreds of markets we got across the country, also digitally. YouTube, Facebook, channel 347, direct TV. So if you're a subscriber over at Substack, you got this piece

out last night, I believe. Title. Here we go. Trump's bad, Texas endorsement. This shocked me. It shocked me because POTUS was really quiet when this matchup first occurred back in 2024. There was no endorsement. There was, you know, nothing that that came up

in this. It was just, you know, these two dudes duking it out. And it was, by the two dudes we're talking about, of course, we're talking about the gentleman known as A.K. Guy, Brennan Herrera, and then Tony Gonzalez, who is the incumbent. And so this is a congressional district in Texas that is highly competitive. And I say it's highly competitive because Gonzalez nearly lost to her era. I mean, it by like, it was just like 400 some odd votes if memory serves. That is super competitive for an incumbent that is supposed to be able to outrage the grassroots guy challenging him. That is, I mean, if you're Gonzalez's campaign, you're freaking out. So now we have a rematch because they went and they went to the runoff because they didn't get 50. So now we have a rematch

coming up in March and both are running. So how did POTUS get involved in this to set it up and how did this all happen? I'm not really quite sure. But all I know is that yesterday, POTUS tweeted or posted on X that he was backing Tony Gonzalez, which really floored me and it floored me for a number of reasons. Tony Gonzalez is a huge gun control guy. He's not only a red flag supporter, this dude championed the bipartisan Safer Communities Act that was passed under Biden.

Harris. And we have fisked that thoroughly on this program as well as on substack. It's a horrible piece of legislation. Sadly, it was introduced in the Senate by Marco Rubio. That's a whole other issue. But this, Gonzalez championed this. And he actually said, quote, this was on at 812 a.m. June 22nd of 2022, quote, as a congressman, it's my duty to pass laws that never infringe on the Constitution while protecting the lives of the innocent. In the coming days, I look forward to voting yes on the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. In addition to that, he blasted Republicans attempts to stop the delugee at the border by going after stalwarts on the issue. He said that any attempt to stop the abuse of the asylum program was un-American. He, I mean, this is crazy.

He also previously described January 6 protesters as domestic terrorists. He's repeated the narratives about deporting grandmothers and tomato pickers, the left-wing media narratives. How does Trump get, how does this guy get a Trump endorsement and a consistent stalwart like Brandon Herrera, the AK guy, not? Well, let's ask him ourselves. Our friend, Brandon Herrera, you guys know him on YouTube, Brandon Herrera for Congress. The primaries coming out March 3rd, and you also know him as the AK guy. He joins us now on video. Brandon, it's so good to see you. Thanks for joining me.

And by the way, I love your background. Well, you know, guys got to have a hobby. There you go. I appreciate you having me on data. Thank you so much. Did you have any idea that this was coming? Because I honestly thought, and I didn't say anything about it earlier because I just assumed and this was bad on my part.

I'm like, oh my gosh, if Trump's going to weigh in on this race, clearly it's going to be you. Did you have any idea this was coming? We thought it might be a possibility. I will be honest, it did take us a little bit by surprise for a lot of the, you know, stated reasons. You know, Tony's going through a few scandals and there's going to be a couple more that pop up in the next few months. It's, it's been a while. It's, he's done a really good job running against himself in this race. And I guess whenever he's done with that, I'll just play winner.

But it's, it was an interesting move. I don't necessarily, well, obviously, I mean, I think that there's a better candidate in the race. But I do understand the tactics behind it because last cycle, there was no endorsement. To my understanding from very good sources, there's no love lost between Trump and Tony. One of the first things Tony did after receiving the Trump endorsement in 2020 is voted on the Jan 6 committee with all of the Democrats. So I don't really think, you know, Trump really values loyalty. And I don't think that that sat very well with him. Yeah.

But the difference between this cycle and 2020. Before, the last cycle that I ran against Tony, and as you said, came within 400 votes in a runoff. The difference between that is that in 2024, Trump wasn't in office. So Trump wasn't relying on Tony's votes and needing to make sure that the House can carry out his agenda. So I could definitely see him doing this as a tactical move, just something he has to do. There's a lot of endorsements on incumbents right now this cycle that I think most of the MAGA movement and the conservative base, not agree with, but he has to maintain people who can play ball in the house. And to that degree, I understand. I don't because I don't think Gonzalez plays ball in the house. I mean,

when you're going after your key pieces of legislation on immigration and you're undermining the president on gun control by supporting red flag stuff and calling people who disagree with you ungodly and un-American, I have a major problem with that. I mean, you would be a completely reliable vote for his agenda. Oh, absolutely. No, I don't think there's any mistaking. If you actually read into his liberty score or his voting record or anything like that, the man's a terrible Republican. I don't even call him a conservative. He's also a very petty man, though, and I would not put it past him to have levied threats where if he didn't get that endorsement, then Trump would not get his vote on any of the agendas. And with the narrow margin

we have in the House, unfortunately, tactically, I understand the perceived need to do so. I really do. But I also wonder if Trump had been briefed on any of the things that makes Tony weak and unlikely to win this cycle. Yeah. You're way more gracious than I would be if I would be in your position. We're talking with our friend Brandon Herrera, the AK guy, because, you know, I know your positions and I know where you are. And you talk about this every single day. And you're really consistent on these issues. And it's more aligned with what they're trying to, the administration's trying to make happen in Congress than the stuff that I've seen. you know, Gonzalez, go after. I mean, I'm just, and I put this out here for the folks who want to go see, it's over at Substack. Everything's linked. I mean, we've got receipts for everything, you know, where he was describing protesters as domestic terrorists and questioning potuses' involvement in all of it, saying that people who wanted to eliminate the abuse of the asylum program were un-American and unchristian. He went after Chip Roy on that. Not even Chip Roy went after Trump's people

who were championing in some of his key immigration proposals. He, oppose the Secure Border Act? How do you say, how do you, I mean, these are just like basic tenets of being a constitutionalist. How do you get, how do you cosplay as MAGA while you stab MAGA in the back? I mean, the man is a bad vote factory. There's no mincing words on that. It's one of the reason I never really wanted to run for office. I've always been involved in politics. And there's a lot of these things that are very deeply important to me. I never wanted to put my name on a ballot. But my congressman was so bad, I felt the need to jump been because I didn't want to see him do another term.

And I'm back at it. And that's why I'm here again. Yeah, no, the man just has a terrible record. To add to that, I think he described being there in the Capitol during January 6th, saying that it reminded him of his time in combat, which we'll circle back to that at a future date. And that's an interesting quote from him. But it's just insane that somebody who has been so unreliable as far as voting with the MAGA agenda is, is trying to champion himself now as, you know, oh, I'm, I've always been best friends with Trump.

I'm, you know, I'm your guy. Yeah. Absolutely not. Anybody who takes one look at his voting record realizes exactly who he is. Yeah. For the people who ever got upset over individuals' primary choices in the presidential campaign in 2020 or even 2024, I think that intimating that the president might be culpable for the, quote, domestic terrorism.

I think that was the word that was used about J6. That's infinitely worse. going against his key issues is, is exponentially worse. And I'm not even getting into, you know, the reporting on the affair that he reportedly had. And then with an aid that later, you know, set herself on fire, according to the medical examiner and killed herself. That's a, you know, the families are denying the claims, but that's another whole dark cloud over his campaign. We're talking with our friend Brandon Herrera, the AK guy, who's running in this March 3 primary. is it as from what from your vantage point i i mean it was so close last time i think everyone

thought you were going to win i thought you were actually going to win this race because it was all the polling it was so close i know march third is a little bit away because we're rolling into christmas but are you approaching this campaign differently than what you didn't how you did in 24 absolutely i mean last time i had no political experience whatsoever i'd never run any sort of race before and jumping right into a to a federal congressional race was a huge jump, but I learned a lot from it. We came very close. I was very proud of our team for what we were able to accomplish.

But now we have, you know, we were outspent $10 million to one by one of the, I was about $13 million, I think total, soft money included. But it was one of the best funded, entrenched Republicans in all of Texas. And we put him on the ropes. And I was really hoping he would change his votes, but it just didn't happen. So I had to jump back into the ranch. and this time I think we're going to pull it off. We have better fundraising.

We have better team. We have a better volunteer network, everything. We have all this stuff established that we had to fight so hard to get during the campaign last time. We have better name recognition. We have all the things that we have all the advantages that we didn't have last time. And that's not including him being now a wounded candidate thanks to his own actions. So I truly believe we're going to be able to pull this off. It's going to go to a runoff again.

I was kind of hoping we would take it out right. But we've got a couple of other great people in the race that are just going to help us tell the truth about Tony because truly that's all that needs to be done. Yeah. And your record speaks for itself. And I think that's why I think he's afraid to even criticize you because you are so consistent, not just on Second Amendment, but all of these other issues. And I think you're the only, probably the only candidate who loves, you know, for instance, the hierarchy of the ATF and all of the gun control that's been passed in D.C. more so than anybody else in Washington, D.C. Absolutely. I wouldn't say he's afraid to criticize because he spent an entire, he spent a lot, several millions of dollars last cycle, defaming me where I live, which is, you know, its own issue. But the thing is he can't attack on policy. He'll only attack personally. And mark my words, it's going to happen again, where he will just spend millions of dollars blasting things that I said out of context, you know, taking a one minute clip, clipping six seconds of it and saying, see, look at what he said. And it's crazy because I think my record does stand for itself. I've always been a constitutionalist. I've always stood by Trump. I've always, you know, I've dedicated the last few years of my life to helping veterans and veteran charities. I've stood by the Second Amendment. These are all things that have been very important to me for a long time. And anybody who's followed me knows that.

But unfortunately, it's what you can afford to tell people, whether it's the truth or lies. And you don't need to run for office. I mean, that's, I think, the difference between you and other people. You're not chasing a contributor ship and you're not trying to run down a book deal. You're just mad. You're like a lot of us. You're just mad. I think it's, yeah, that's, that's one of my, the, the funnier criticisms I see where they're saying, like, oh, you're just doing this for the, the cloud and the money, like, frankly, not to be that guy. I'm sorry, you have like four million followers on YouTube. Like, you have like four million subscribers. Why would you need to do anything for clout? That's so stupid. It's like, I have the clout, and I, frankly, Congress is like a 90% pay cut for me. You know, I'm just in a position where, look, like, I don't have, you know, I'm still young enough to have the energy.

I don't have children to watch out for yet and a family to raise. This is the time for me. I don't have to worry about where my rent's coming from. I have the resources. I have the backing. I have the following. I have the friends. This is where I can make a difference and serve my country before I have to, you know, focus on starting a family.

I love it. I hope everyone goes to Brandon Herrera for Congress.com plugs in where they can because this is a fight because I know that your opponent's going to be raising tons of money and going to be paper in the airwaves and all the ad buys and everything else and you need the backing because this is a seat that we've got to win. I mean, as you were saying, it's so close right now in Congress and this is why we're struggling to get anything done as it is. If we can just get one more seat and like with a real constitutionalist. that would make so much more the difference. Brandon Herrera, thank you so much for joining us. I hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I know we'll talk with you again soon, but best of luck and we're going to be watching this race very closely. Thanks so much for coming on.

Thank you so much and Merry Christmas. Of course. Take care. Appreciate it.

Number six, killer trannies. Killer trannies. Number five, surprise machete. This is definitely a Florida man story there. Number four, guaranteed goring. Oh, yeah. That's those people at Yellowstone that get out of their damn car. And they try to pet the bison.

That one I like a lot. That one's sweet. And then now, the number one fictional band name inadvertently created this year on the Dana show. Anthrax Farrell Pigs of Texas.
