Welcome to the radio program. Dana Lash with you. Like I said, we're going to get into each aspect of all of these things that happened. If you missed any of it, Lorraine has a really good write-up right now over at chapter and verse, over at substack. And the latest with each of these situations, I mean, it's just one right after the other. So you had multiple terror attacks, and then you had a shooting at Brown, University in Rhode Island. And it's crazy because just last week, we had this discussion over the Islamism and the attacks that we were seeing on Christmas markets in Germany and

in Brussels and Bavaria and in France, etc. And then, you know, a year ago there was a terror attack on a Christmas market and the outskirts of a more rural part of Germany. So, and then you had, of course, the situation of two soldiers who were killed ISIS attack in Syria and the Bondi Beach terror attack, a father-son duo, opening fire on the beach. The death toll. I read it was up to 15. I think it's 60 now. And there are 27, anywhere from 27 to 30 that have been hospitalized. And, The, I mean, of course, everything in our society, everything is on video and all of these videos all over social media. It is stunning. And in the wake of this, you have lawmakers who immediately call for gun control and immediately try to politicize it to that extent. So that's one of the other things that we're going to do coming up is go through. I've written a couple books on it. We're going to be going through some of the gun laws and how I need people to just stop taking as gospel truth, anything the media says as it pertains to crime rates and violent crime rates, et cetera, and comparing Australia and Europe and the United States, and I'll explain why. But the craziness of everything that happened, just unbelievable. Islamism has declared war on the West quite some time ago.

And that war has been amplifying. It's been increasing in severity and in incident. The other thing to note that ties the Brown University shooting all into it is that it occurred in the classroom of a Jewish professor who taught on the intersection of economics and Jewish studies per university materials. and there were several students who said that the killer was speaking in Arabic. Professor Rachel Friedberg, part of the program in Judaic studies. And it just seems like that's probably an important aspect of this story, especially when you consider Bondi Beach. And then there was another terror attack that they announced just a little bit ago that was thwarted. And they were going to be a terror cell, this pro-Hamas group for members of this terror cell.

The FBI just, I mean, they literally, as we were going to air, they had just had a press conference about it. It's a pro-Hamas terror cell. And they were going to carry out bombings in Los Angeles on New Year's Eve. So this is all, I mean, just ramping up to an insane degree. So this is the reality of where we live and where we're at right now. So to start with the Brown University, they're still looking for this guy, which is stunning to me that they are still looking for this guy. How are you still looking for this guy? And the investigation, it was thrown into absolute chaos.

house because they had taken into custody a person of interest and then they released the person of interest and there's a lot of criticism as to well normally when you announce that you have such an individual in custody you know it's that's you're already on the next step and there's some criticism of how that debate or how that that investigation has been conducted they've identified the victims in the two victims fatalities in the killing. And they detained this Benjamin Erickson, who was a 24-year-old army sniper, originally from Wisconsin. And then hours after his name leaked to the public, they had this press conference at like 10 o'clock. And they threw this press conference together.

And then they said at the press conference that they were going to let this guy go. And that now they have no known suspect. The AG at the press conference says, well, we have a killer out there. Everybody knows this. Rhode Island also has some very strict gun laws. Brown University is a gun-free campus. And Rhode Island has every bit of gun control you could possibly want, down to restrictions on purchases of ammunition.

I mean, some people, I think, forget that, Island, it is, I mean, they pretty much have as much gun control as California does. Very, very strict. One of the strictest in the nation. So they have this, you know, everything that they wanted and it again failed. You know, I've written about this previously. There are numerous mass killers who have done especially these incidents in the past decade that did a lot of research into the areas they were targeting and they had specifically targeted gun-free zones. In Aurora, Colorado, remember the theater, the theater killer. He admitted to law enforcement that he had specifically targeted a gun-free zone.

Same thing, the situation, the shooting in New York, one of the last mass casualty incidents who was an individual who was known for being mentally troubled and also in Illinois, all of these individuals had said that they had researched and they were looking at gun-free campuses, Nashville killer as well. They need gun-free zones. So just horrific. And the way that this was handled, it does seem, and I know it's very easy to armchair quarterback when you're looking at law enforcement, but it does seem very hasty. It seemed hasty. And it seemed hasty. And also seems just a little bit chaotic, which is the exact opposite of what you want when you are carrying out this, you know, very widely known, very public investigation. And it is the type of

incident that this is. And then in Australia, the individual that took out, that carried out this attack, him and his father, apparently were well known to Australian government for terror ties. They knew that they had terror ties. They knew it. Now, I was thinking about this earlier today. How is it? How is it that someone who has known terrorist ties, him and his father, in Australia, they're able to amass, you know, whatever rifles they have, and law enforcement, you know, Australian government apparently just looks the other way as they run around and prepare it to stage an attack.

But if you're Novak Djokovic and you don't want to get your shot because you've already had the coronavirus, all hell breaks loose. I mean, they were arresting people who didn't have masks on in Australia. But if you are one of the diaspora, Islamist diaspora, then it's completely okay. going to get into all of this because we get the Syria robberant. I mean, guys, it is a lot. It is a packed week and we have a lot to hit as we move. And we got headlines coming up on the way. As we move forward, the folks who help make the program possible, it's the people over at Ammo Squared.

So the Louvre, Louf, Kane, they're closing the doors to visitors because of a staff strike. I thought it was because all their artwork got ruined. ended or stolen, but I might have been, yeah. It's a walkout, and they visited the most,

it's the most visited museum in the French Capitol. They had 400 staff, trade unions announced. It's all backed. They said that they understaff museum workers. They weren't being given what they needed in order to cope with the increasing flows of people. And, you know, they had the theft of these French crown jewels. Then they had a water leak.

that damaged all, like, hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of books that they had. So they're having serious problems. And then don't forget, wasn't there, like, another joke that somebody did? They pulled, like, some kind of joke. And they had, like, another, yeah, yeah, yeah. They brought something in, like, right by where the Mona Lisa was. So they're having a real one over at the Louvre. So now the staff was like, yeah, we're going to go on strike.

We're done with us. Oh, I can't actually say what I have this listed as on under our rundown. Stanford Medicine, a new Stanford medicine study shows that the MRNA, why the MRI vaccines can cause myocarditis, we all knew this. All of us knew this. All of us knew this. And this was why so many of us were so, we were not interested in taking this experimental shot.

And so for, you know, all of the, we were talking about this in 2021, 2020, all of the people, by the way, and I know we all have that, this is my little Merry Christmas, you know, ho, ho, ho thing. for all of the people that ended friendships because their friends wouldn't get the shot burning an AIDS fire Fala la la la la go stuff yourself

There you go Because we all knew it Oh no I'm not over it Not gonna be over it Let's see Peter Green Oh 60 years old he was found dead Found Dad in his apartment

Everybody remembers him he was the mask He always played like the scummiest villain Did he not? I don't know what I would do If I saw him in a role where he'd play the good guy because he was so good at being bad. But he's passed away. Age 60, apparently had illnesses and some other stuff.

Secret government UFO program reveals paranormal events. Well, I believe it. I believe it. I believe anything at this point. Except if my government, you know, though, I was thinking about this. If my government's telling me that aliens exist, then I think that they don't. Because I don't trust my government. Hmm.

I'm really torn, Kane. This needs a whole segment. Anyway, they said that a secret program known as AASAP, literally what it's called A-A-W-S-A-P, created in 2008 with Harry Reid when he was still alive. It became the largest ever UFO investigation ever undertaken. Remember when he, like, fell all over his bathroom with exercise bans and nobody believed him? Maybe it wasn't the mafia because he was the gaming commissioner. Maybe he was aliens. They just went in and whipped him up.

I don't know. But they said that, yeah, apparently it's, there's this, there's a. a program that has been following it for some time. You think that this is all drip-drip stuff? Part of a plan to desensitize people to it? Sure is. Oh, maybe. It possibly could be.

That three-eye Atlas dramatically changes color as the Earth approaches days away. Isn't it interesting how it's coinciding or on Christmas time? I think so as well. We're going to come back to that. We've got all kinds of news to unpack. Stick with us. Our partners that will bring you the program. It's the folks over at Superbeats, the turmeric, chews.

are familiar with those, same company that does the super beats heart chews. The turmeric chew support a healthy inflammatory response. They have a clinically studied turmeric curcumin complex because turmeric can be kind of difficult for absorption. And what they do is they use this complex that's clinically studied to actually be a more highly absorbable form. So it kind of negates that issue because usually other forms, the body kind of struggles to utilize it effectively, but this is a standout form of turmeric. Just one serving delivers the equivalent antioxidant support of what you would find in larger amounts of standard turmeric extract. So you get a lot of benefits from that. And right now, they're only five, they're five dollars off

at Sam's Club. They have an orange citrus flavor. They taste great. There's no added sugar. And it really is a great way to help support your body's natural inflammatory response. It's a perfect time to get them at Sam's Club. But this offer ends. on December 29th. So get $5 off the turmeric chews at Sam's Club today.

Doesn't our gun registry laws need to change?

What can you do now to ensure this doesn't happen again? I mean, the short answer is yes. They need to change and they can change. It does require legislation and it means introducing a bill to Parliament to, I mean to be really blunt, make it more difficult to get these horrifying weapons that have no practical use in our community. If you're not a farmer, if you're not involved in agriculture, why do you need these massive weapons that put the public in danger and make life dangerous and difficult for New South Wales police? So I understand, of course I understand the genuine desire to have information about how a law will change.

I have nothing nice to say about this guy at all whatsoever. That's one of their heads of their provinces there saying, well, yes, you know, we're going to need stricter gun control laws. That's something we're going to absolutely have to have this. How about you just have a little bit more Islamist control? Because you don't have a gun problem. you have an Islamism problem. But, you know, he's too afraid to say that because he'll get his backside whipped in elections. This is the, I mean, they literally brought in all of these individuals that they weren't able to vet

and that refused to assimilate into a society because Islamism is incompatible with life on Earth. It's incompatible with this universe. It is a barbaric ideology. Islamism literally is the starting point of human evolution. You can put it like that. And that's the problem that they have in Australia. It's not a gun problem. Defenceless victims, they actually had to hide from gunfire for 20 minutes.

Do you know that there are images of their cops hiding behind cars? In Australia, at Bondi Beach, cops hid behind their cars because they were too afraid to do anything. I watched some jack wagon that was on CNN who said that, well, you know, the guy had these, you know, they had these talking about lasers and scopes and all that and red dots. And none of the people talking about any of these horrible things that happened over the weekend, no exactly anything what they're talking about. You have an attack on the Jewish community in Australia, a direct attack. and their remark, after people were getting fired at for 20 minutes while their fat-ass cops hid behind cars, their first inclination is to further disarm the populace. So clearly, Australia doesn't think enough people were killed.

And they want to get those numbers up because that's what this does. They won't protect people, as you saw. I mean, there's video of these cops that are just diving behind cars and hide. there can you saw those videos they were hiding behind cars they would not intervene as as people were getting murdered but yes only that you're not you're not allowed to have firearms you're not allowed because you know the police are going to save you australian government's telling you we're not going to save you we're not going to protect you and you're not allowed to protect yourself But yet you can have this Islamist walk around in Australia and be able to amass what he's able to amass.

They know that he's associated with terrorism. And yet nothing. Nothing. The background of this guy in Bondi Beach, the neighbors have been talking about, the mother was, of course, excusing him. mother is as much of a problem as the father and the son, by the way. The mom should be deported. I actually think all three of them should be publicly executed, but that's me, including the mother. I think the mother also, because you know she's culpable in this. This 24-year-old unemployed bricklayer. He and his father, they're watching this Hanukkah event, they open fire

on it, killing 16 people, 40 people injured. His father was killed like a dog at the scene. His mother said, no, no, no, he's a good boy. He calls me up on Sunday and says, Mom, I just went for a swim. What? She was unable to identify her son from a photo at the scene, but she says, no, no, no, he's a good boy. He doesn't have a firearm. He doesn't go out. No, he's not a good boy. He's seen with a bolt action. And some of the gun control people out there saying, oh, look, he's got, you know, he's handling this bolt action like a pro showing you. They have no, they have no experience with fire. Anybody, I mean, he's just functioning as anybody does.

He's not a pro. But the mother was making, running defense for him. No, the problem in Australia is Islamism, and they've had a huge uptick in Islamist migration. Interesting how crime goes up when that typically happens. If you don't believe me, ask the UK. Ask France. In Australia, they, I mean, we saw a lot of this with lockdown. It's so weird what they're strict on and what they're not strict on. I mean, if you didn't get the shot, you were, I mean, how many of you remember during lockdown, Australian police going out and just arresting people for not wearing masks or not having this or whatever? the uh i don't this is it's just wild in looking at islamism in australia the population has has exploded passing a million for the first time uh by the end of 2024 and this would be something if or rather wouldn't be anything had if people actually assimilated

into the societies in which they to which they immigrate. You're looking at an annual mean population of increase of over 7%. It's going to be well over a million by the end of 2026. The growth, I mean, it's like a 40% growth rate. That's significant. That is a hugely significant number. And you have people who refuse to assimilate. That's a problem. All of these people that you've seen lately, all the Groyper stuff, I hope you realize that that is an absolute op to get you to not talk about Islamism and to just make you think it's about Israel. There weren't any Jewish people that were shooting anybody up over the weekend, were there? It was all Islamists, all Islamists shooting people up.

So Bondi Beach, now they're like, oh, we need more gun control. You need Islamist control. Here's the thing with Australian. I've written so much about this over the years. Ten years ago, I wrote a piece describing how their gun control was so insane after 1996 that they actually made it to where you have to have a license for a toy gun. That's a real thing. I don't know if you all knew that. Now, there's a caveat to this and I'll explain. But in 2010, they had passed further restrictions and they wanted more that you would actually have to get a license to have a toy gun. in Australia. I wrote about it at the time. So, since September of 2020, any toy that even looked like a gun had to be licensed, licensed under several changes to their weapons act that they were looking at in Queensland. And they said that anything even made out of soap or plastic, if it, quote, could reasonably be taken to be a weapon, end quote, would have to be licensed. So imagine like, you know, you just make some soap in the shape of a pistol. You might actually

have to get that licensed. The government source said, quote, if it looks like a gun and feels like a gun, will have to be licensed. And then if you didn't do it, it would be a $4,500 fine under the proposals. And then if you didn't store it properly, it would be a penalty of $750. So in Australia, they began going, they had gun confiscations. They didn't do buybacks. They had gun confiscations. And then very slowly, and this is something that I don't think a lot of people realize And I've talked about this quite a bit to an extent. Very slowly, the private ownership of firearms began building back. It began building back.

And now, I'm looking at my notes, the ownership rate for firearms in Australia is back as to what it was before the ban. So it's at pre-ban levels. but one of the things that people don't realize when they're trying to compare, you know, these criminal statistics is they, and they say, oh, well, Australia, you know, they had their gun, they still had mass shootings even after they had their gun ban. And they, remember, they've had terror attacks even after their gun ban. There have been several terror attacks that have been carried out in Australia, even with those laws in place. But now private ownership is increasing because people don't want to be left defensive. They see what happens. They watch Australian law enforcement. They're not trained to engage. They're trained to shelter in place until they have to go clean up. That's the standard operating procedure there.

And this, when you look at Australia, when you look, one of the worst mass shootings ever was in Europe. Actually, the worst. The top three were in Europe. in places where firearms are heavily restricted. Port Arthur is one of the worst, 35 fatalities. There's been a lot of math done on it, and a lot of people talking about the UK, etc. If you compare the United States to countries in Europe

and, you know, all of this other stuff, and you look at the frequency and you look at the fatality rate, and then when you also characterize, when you look at the crime rate and you adjust it, by the way, for population. That's the other thing. Nobody ever looks at violent crime per capita. They don't use those comparisons. We adjust population typically with murder rates, but not with violence involving illegally possessed firearms. And I just, it's not something I don't understand why we don't do that, but that's not what the United States does. And in the UK

tallies things entirely differently, so does Australia. But the bottom line is that the United States is actually incredibly safe compared to these other countries. And the other fact that's always left out is the defensive gun usage aspect of it. Defensive gun usage absolutely dwarfs criminal usage. I have literally written two books about this. I have dove into the uniform crime reports. I have done into national crime victimization surveys. I have dove into everything.

Defense of gun use is so important that gun control lobbyists two years ago colluded with the CDC. people from every town for gun control, moms demand all of the Michael Bloomberg back stuff. They colluded with the CDC. Emails came out showing this. They were leaked to the press, that they were bullying the CDC to remove the defensive gun use statistics

from their website. Because in their own words, it actually undermined their agenda. It undermined their mission, which was all about banning guns. It had nothing to do with safety. That's what gun control. is about it. It has nothing to do with safety. It's all about control. It's all about banning guns.

So they bullied the CDC to actually take that statistic about defensive gun usage, which when compared to criminal usage is just not even comparable. The CDC removed it from their website by request of every town for gun control and all of the other Bloomberg back gun control groups. They were in a big email discussion and those emails were leaked to the press and published, and it's all over. I've written a reams about this. That's a fact. So they knew how important defensive gun usage is to the point where they omitted it from the actual taxpayer-supported website. Now, this is what really galls me, is you have the left that always says, oh, well, you know, the CDC is not allowed to study gun control. That's not what anything said.

You're talking about, I think it was the Hyde Amendment. The only language that was in there is that they can't use taxpayer dollars to advocate for or against firearm ownership. But that's not good enough for the idiot left. they wanted to use taxpayer dollars to promote disarmament to you, a reduction of your God-given, constitutionally affirmed natural rights. And so it wasn't that they couldn't study it, it's that the left got mad that the CDC was barred from politicizing it. Because they politicized so much already, case in point,

what I just told you about, how they actually removed defensive gun use statistics from their websites at the repeated request of gun control advocacy. No defensive gun usage. That way nobody can compare it to criminal usage. That way they can go forward with their narrative about how dangerous the United States is, which really, again, when adjusted per capita and also when you look at crime defensive usage, it's not even, no, it's not even comparable. We have a lot more on this because that's, they're, they're trying to push this again. They're, it's just, it's, it's insane. At a time when you have Islamist attack. and Jewish Americans under attack by Islamists here at a time when students don't even feel safe to be Jewish on campus. At a time when you have restorative justice

that's glad handing every violent criminal out there. At a time when we have everybody from Somali Diaspora to CDL, you know, truckers, all this other stuff, we can't vet, you know, half of the, three quarters of the damn people that we were dragging in under Biden Obama and Biden Harris. This is not the time to tell people

to disarm we're going to have a lot more on the way as we roll but i'm always going to tell you to carry i am i i don't believe in the concept of a starter gun i think that's an idiotic concept i'm always going to tell you to carry and i have zero issue using lethal force to protect myself or my loved ones that's just god's honest truth i do realize though there are times like for instance say you have a college student who lives at home or lives at home lives near campus lives by themselves near campus. They're not 21 years old. They could go overseas and carry full auto, but they can't carry anything to defend themselves over here.

So what do you do? Well, that's when you would diversify what you have. Look at your options and maybe consider a burn a gun. Same thing. If you, you know, as part of your work or whatever, you have to go to a place that's banned guns, ban you from defending yourself because of the municipal of private property restrictions. Burnow shoots chemical irritant projectiles

that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. And it has a 15-round shock capacity, when you compare that with other stun guns, it's like one or two rounds. I mean, it's not comparable. But the thing is, is that it doesn't care about gun-free zones. There's no background checks. There's no waiting periods. There's no extra fees or anything that you have to pay.

It's made right here in the USAFA. And it's a great way to make sure you're still able to protect yourself when government, state, local, municipal, et cetera, are trying to tell you otherwise.

so are the days of the United States. No, the way they're doing it now is just dead wrong. I mean, and I believe unconstitutional. I mean, marching people in uniforms in automatic weapons through our major cities where they're mostly just stopping people for being black and brown, not because they're actually undocumented or of committed crimes. You know, that's clearly something that all of us ought to stand up against. And we lived through that.

As you know, we are living through it now. You know how when we're at the end of the year and your tolerance for stupidity is in an all-time low, as is mine? I'm really, really tempted to just get right close to having to use that get-out-of-jail-free card with Brendan Carr over at the FCC cane. Very close. That said J.B. Pritzker, tons of fun. Who, I just wish that they'd come up with something new than trying to,

like uga-buga, you know, every minority about Republicans. I just wish that they would come up with something new. Who's, you know what? The people being targeted are those who came over. I feel so, this is moronic to have to keep saying this stupid nonsense over and over again every damn day. That the people that are here illegally. That people who are coming here illegally, lunchbox, that's who.

This is yet another bad day for America.

Yeah, I mean, we are still recovering from the shooting at Enunciation Church. It is a tragedy that this has become a normal occurrence, not just in the United States, but now seeing it in Australia, worked really hard to create gun professional laws to prevent the kind of tragedy that took place today. Thank you for your time. Oh, my word. So, first off, the laws that they passed, and this was back when they had their 96 ban, it's not the same. We were talking about this last hour.

Ownership is to pre-band levels, et cetera. And this is where all these lawmakers are going. They're looking at what happened in Bondi Beach. They're looking at Brown University. Can I just like, first off, welcome back to the program, Dana Lash at the top of the second hour. I keep seeing these people say, oh, we need gun control. We need all of this stuff. Every person should be mad.

Our government bends over backwards to gun lobbyists. It is asinine to talk about any of this without noting that Brown University is a totally gun-free zone. Totally gun-free zone. Can't even keep something in your car. Totally gun-free zone. Rhode Island, in which Brown University is. is constructed is a pretty much a gun-free state. I mean, they have a ton of gun control, all the gun control that you could want.

They have it there. And so what exactly would they do to make all of that illegaler? See, that's the whole thing. This is so asinine. The firearm is not the problem. what other rights do they think are open to limitation, right? What other rights do they feel what other things do they feel are debatable? What other rights are they, are they okay with restricting? That's what's assinine about this. Let's talk about the murder rates for a minute,

because this is so stupid. I see people that talk about this all the time, and they have been talking about it as it relates to Australia and the UK. First off, United States is a major outlier where it concerns. And I mean, I hate the phrase gun violence because it's a stupid term. You're talking about violence perpetuated by repeat violent offenders that are in a legal possession of firearms. And I feel that that language is important and that's the correct way to say it. One of the reasons why this is is because it's the way that other countries measure and catalog homicides. You know, homicides, they'll have murders and justice. homicides and things like that. Our homicide rate, because we catalog it differently than the U.K. and some other nations, it kind of skews against us because it adds murders and justifiable homicides. Thus, it always looks like the homicide rate is always greater than the murder rate. It is not actually a huge epidemic across the United States. And I made this point during the debate, but I accidentally omitted the word counties because I'm a genius. But going back from in 2014,

team, the two worst counties, these, or sorry, 2% of the counties, 2% of the counties in the United States accounted for 52% of the murders. So of all of the counties in the United States, 52% of the murders in the United States were in 2% of those counties. Now, what does that tell you? it was it they're not rural areas they're not even suburban areas they're urban areas and it's drug and gang violence so let's like let's dive into this more so again the 52 percent of the murders are in two percent of the counties and when you dive into it further okay so of those of the two percent of those counties where are those counties of course you know you're talking about

Los Angeles you're talking about Chicago you're talking about Austin you're talking about all of the counties where you have major cities, and they're also Democrat ran, generationally Democrat ran. You also have very progressive Soros-backed prosecutors in these 2% of the counties. And so when I was doing the debate in Chicago, I think I said the two worst counties, and I meant to say 2%. But when you, and then when you break it down further, it's drug and gang violence. And in fact, it usually is between the ages of 18 to 20. 25 in terms of the age of the assailants. And that's the number, that's the largest driver.

And going further into it, when you look at cities like Chicago, cities like Chicago, Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles, Portland, you pretty much have the same sizable group of violent repeat offenders who are the ones who are the ones who are constantly. driving the crime, right? Just like, think about it, like with immigration, you know, you always have these repeat deportees that are coming back in and driving crime. Well, in a lot of these major urban areas, you have the same group of repeat offenders that are driving the crime. In fact, in Chicago, this was something that the former superintendent of the Chicago police had said, is that you have the same 1,400 individuals that drive over 86% of the crime in Chicago. and they are exhausted at having to repeatedly arrest and re-arrest the same individuals nonstop. It's crazy.

And this is, I mean, 5% of these counties accounted for 68% of the murders. So 2% of the counties are 52% of the murders. 5% of the worst counties account for 68% of the murders. And this comes from FBI Uniform. crime reports. It also comes from state and local reporting. And so one of the things that when you compare it to like England, for instance, it's also stupid to compare the United States to England because England and Wales, they exclude cases that don't result in convictions or where the individual is not prosecuted on grounds of self-defense. So that reduces their homicide rate by 15%. But it also has a

huge impact on their firearm, the firearm homicide rate because so much of that is gang activity. and it's incredibly hard to solve. So I'm telling you all of this stuff as a way to show, number one, it is an outlier. Violent crime is an outlier in the United States, and it's not an epidemic, and it's concentrated in very few areas.

And then number two, when you adjust per capita, our comparison of our homicide rate to that of the UK, or even just England, because even Wales, I think, they cataloged things a little differently, or with Australia or France, et cetera,

the way in which homicides and murder rates and all of these other things are tabulated, the way we do it, it actually kind of skews against us. But when you adjust per capita, all of these narratives dissipate. They all dissolve. But then the other big thing to consider is how in the hell are you going to have a conversation

about violent crime rate and you're not going to talk about restorative justice, which encourages it and flames it? How are you going to have a discussion about reducing violent crime when you have these source-backed DAs up here that are given risk slaps in either reducing or eliminating violent charges for violent repeat offenders. This happens all the damn time.

You realize in Chicago, there are people that are just, they have gun charges dismissed. They have one of the lowest rates of prosecuting felony firearms cases. Chicago, Los Angeles, Austin, Atlanta, all of the big cities that you would suspect would have very low prosecution rates, have low prosecution rates. Democrat ran, Democrat DAs, and it's almost like they do it on purpose. they purposefully don't do their job so they can turn around and say the issue isn't with them. The issue is with the law-abiding people. The issue isn't with the law-abiding people. And then you look at the defensive gun usage.

There are the people who have really done a lot of work on this John Lott, Gary Kleck. Gary Kleck, by the way, criminal researcher, he's been on the show before, based in Florida. He's a Democrat. This is not, we're not going out here and engaging in confirmation bias by cherry-picking things. There's a damn good reason why the CDC colluded with gun control groups to remove defensive gun usage statistics from their website because as what was this, John Feinblatt was noting, he's with every town. He was warning them this is ruining our advantage.

The fact was ruining their agenda. And he said that verbatim in an email. It's all on the internet. Pretty amazing. unbelievably amazing. The, I mean, I'm not even going to get into like some of the other violent crime rates, but the problem is culture. We've always had firearms in this country, but we haven't always had the high rates of violent crime and murder. That's different.

That's actually a new thing. All of this stuff is a new thing. Do you know what else is a new thing? Fatherless homes. Do you know what else is a new thing? The perpetuation. of lawless culture is a new thing. The explosion in mental illness,

particularly with younger generations, is a new thing. These are all new things. Nobody wants to talk about these as variables because they're not serious people about solving this issue. They don't care about solving this issue. It's only ever about control, like I said. Bondi Beach, they don't have a gun problem.

They got an Islamist problem. problem. Cut 20, you have Hamas supporters. They couldn't even allow for a vigil for the victims at Bondi Beach. Hamas supporters started showing up and disrupting the vigil. The trash dogs. Hamas shows up and they start. You're watching some of the video on the simulcast here. It's just unbelievable. Amsterdam. Masked Islamists attacked a Hanukkah concert. This is also something over the weekend. It's never ending and it's increasing more and more. Cut 19, masked Islamists. They attacked a Hanukkah concert. This was in Amsterdam. We were just there, actually. Just there. Screaming invectives. Causing problems. Law enforcement had to show up. As you can see, there was like smoke being deployed. Just crazy. because someone was having a Hanukkah concert. I'm telling you.

This is the real fight right here. This is the real fight. It's not between Democrat and Republicans. It's between the West and Islamism. That's the real fight. And you have a lot of these very conveniently timed sci-op accounts that are out there desperately trying to tell you that the problem is A-PAC, or the problem is this,

the problem is that, the problem is everything but, you know don't believe you're lying eyes now we're going to get into a few other things there are there there's a couple of pretty selfless stories that came from this we still have to talk about Syria the ISIS attack with two soldier fatalities you get in bed with dogs don't be surprised if you get fleas

and then of course the Rob Reiner stabbing and can we talk for a moment about grace as well we're going to dive into all of this but we have a lot I mean I told you it was a pack show today and now all of the news you would probably miss it's time for Dana's quick five All right. So first up, this is a crazy story. So you know how everybody, you know, all these previous presidents, they all have their presidential libraries and they usually have like a fundraising op that they get kick started before they're even leaving office. I don't know what the hell the Biden people are doing. He hasn't really, he hasn't raised anything for a presidential library. His library foundation told the IRS that by the end of 27, they expect. to bring in about $11 million, which is a drop in the bucket compared to how much these

presidential libraries cost, they haven't, nobody's donating to it. No, it's not sad. I don't feel bad for him at all. That's what happens when your ambition exceeds your skill. And then you deuce the bed when you get in the White House. So, no, I don't feel bad at all. No one wants to donate to his ridiculous presidential library. All it's going to be is ice cream.

Just go to a DQ and put Joe Biden's presidential library in front of a DQ. Same damn thing. tired of it. Oh, more Islamist cash. So, yeah, Paramount Skydance is tapping Middle Eastern investors in a hostile bid for Warner Brothers Discovery that they're having a big O fight. It's Paramount Skydance, David and Larry Allison, they're trying to persuade shareholders to sell the media giant over at Warner Brothers Discovery to them instead of to Netflix. So far, Warner Bros. Discovery, their board WBD for short rebuffed their all cash $30 a share bid to buy all of it and they picked a lower amount for Netflix to do it so now apparently they're trying to get some Muslim money so that they can I guess up the offer or let's not we can also not do that transgenderism once again proving that this is a social contagion there's some new numbers out from the people born between 95 and 1999 the share of who identified just I've seen this elsewhere where the sheriff who identified as transgender was 7.5 in 2020.

In 2024, it dropped to 2.3. And for those born between 2004, it went from 8.5% to 4.1% during that same period. The social contagion is now finally ending. Thank heavens. In a Christmas miracle, a missing dog is found five years later, 2,300 miles away. This is crazy. Five years after her rescue dog disappeared,

this woman named Patricia thought about her dog every day, and the dog she lives in San Francisco she got a text from a microchip company they found her dog 2,300 miles away in Lincoln, Michigan he was found tied to a fence outside of an animal shelter

that's awful and they contacted she was contacted by the shelter staff and she was like oh my goodness so she was able to get him brought home including a nonprofit called Helping Paws and Clause in California and they were able to

get her dog home Isn't that awesome? So she has her dog back. Whoever tied him. I mean, at least I guess they took him to an animal shelter. But dogs are family, man. They're family no matter what. Also, a homeowner faces a major fine because he destroyed a 200-year-old landmark. And they're saying it can't be replaced at all. It's just too bad. It's in Iowa. It's a giant burr oak tree that was in Rolf, Iowa. And a 41-year-old now has a huge fine. Jason Ferguson cut it down. amongst dozens of other trees that they call stolen trees. He was going to use the timber to build a new house. But the trees were on state land. And so now his fine is like $25,000. What a douchebag. Just what a horrible person.

We have a lot more in store. Don't go anywhere. Make some common sense of the crazy headlines with the Dana Show podcast. You're on the go guide for getting up to speed on today's most important stories. Subscribe on YouTube, Apple, or your favorite podcast platform. at 4 o'clock in the morning hit this hotel room in Coventry and took this man into custody.

What we're told from law enforcement sources now is that they seized two firearms from this 24-year-old suspect. One of those firearms, we are told, was equipped with a laser site device. This has significance because, number one, that's a fairly sophisticated device for a handgun

where when you aim it, a red dot goes where you want to target, and if you fire it, that point. The bullet goes where the dot is. It's the kind of things used mostly by professionals, tactical people, military people. The other aspect of it, though, is it... Who is this turd that's talking? Who is this absolute lunchbox that's talking? I mean, it's a red dot. You just put the red dot on the gun, can. It's magical. It's a very sophisticated device that allows, you know, it's met by military people.

used by specialists under military people. Who dot that? Where do they get these people? This is on CNN. They had this stooge up on CNN. If I was sitting there on set with him, I'd smack them in the face. That's the dumbest thing that I've ever heard

and we're all stupider for having heard it. First off, it's not like this magical, sophisticated device. I have red dots. I have, in fact, one of my last pistols I got has a red dot on it. By the way, like laser sites, red dots, These are all very different things. This guy's no idea what he's talking about, number one.

Number two, it's you can buy it on damn Amazon. You can go into Walmart and get one. They're not expensive. Millions of people have these. And he's talking about the Brown University. This is, it's not a special device that you can only get if you're like a pro or a military. I don't even know what that means, professionals and military.

What does it even mean? This guy doesn't even know. this is the kind of stuff that they can i just please for the love of all things holy if you're going to talk about it on your show CNN have somebody that knows what the hell they're talking about to discuss it you just point and shoot you clown it's not going to do anything it's not a magical instrument we're told one of those firearms we're told as such such as i was equipped with a laser sat divas it's a fairly sophisticated divas i love how he tries to describe it When you aim at a red dot goes to where you want to target.

And if you fire at the point, the bullet goes through the dot is. I can't with these people. These are not serious people on this issue. It's like saying, George's a chainsaw bayonet. I mean, dude, this is just, I think, by the way, there are way more. This is where this guy's wrong. There are way more. There are way more sites and red dots on civilians firearms than there are military.

Yes. What is this guy even talking about? Who is this sentient turd? Who is it? Barely sentient. Good night. It's not a... In the chat,

they're talking about how the red dot makes the bullets go faster. See, the bullets like, it peeks out of the barrel and it goes, what's that out there? Is that a red dot? I'm going to go get that red dot. And it goes faster. That's not how this works.

It doesn't work that way. But yes, pretty sure. I would bet the house on the fact that more civilians have this than police for sure or any kind of mill spec thing. Oh my gosh. Stop. This guy is no, you can get one for like $15 on Amazon right now. There are people who put them on their salt guns for bugs. That's there, I mean, people use them all the time. They're super cheap to get. It's millions of millions have them. but this is them trying to fear monger about this. Again, Brown University was a gun-free zone.

Rhode Island's pretty much a gun-free state. So, you know, what failed? What did they have that failed? Million-dollar question, don't you think? What didn't work? They're not going to evaluate it because that would require brain cells. This, what also gets me about this is the absolute mess of the press conference from the post-Brown University.

They're still looking for this guy. they can't find him they got a guy in custody and then they had to let him go or they let him go this was a cut 13 so while they were literally having this 10 o'clock or 11 o'clock whatever press conference the police chief of providence rhode island somebody whispers in his ear that well you can't say being in custody that's not the right thing to say watch this this 13 now someone's in custody cut how you all are working together to guard that information is the wrong word someone being detained brother correct And so, yeah, someone being detained, it led us to that point as far. So, if they're not in custody, what are they? Detained. Yeah, detained. They're just detained. They're not into custody. They're just detained. Yeah, this is a cut 14.

Premier Jayapal. She's apparently once something that would make all of the laws that they already had more a lawyer. I don't know. Listen, this is 14. Because it's come to this place where these events are happening in every community across the country. And the answer to the majority of Americans is clear. Make it less easy for guns to be in the hands of people who shouldn't have them. And that means passing gun safety reforms. But every single time something like this happens, we don't get the reforms.

Okay. What reforms do you? want. Brown University bans any and all firearms out of all whatsoever, any and all weaponry out of whatsoever on any aspect of its campus in total. Not, you're not allowed to keep anything in your car. You're not allowed to have anything in your car. You're not allowed to have anything touch the abse, the property of the university. Rhode Island has a quote unquote, it's not weapon ban. They have all kinds of stuff. They have ammo restrictions, additional licensing. They have everything that you want. Why didn't your laws work? Why didn't

work. Do you know also according to numerous independent studies, including if you look at Stanford University's data set of mass casualty incidents, do you realize that, especially within the past 10 years, gun-free zones specifically are targeted? They are targeted. Do you remember the theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado? The killer in that instance was going it was actually looking at a different theater originally, and then ended up targeting that particular theater because it was explicitly a gun-free zone. When you look at, what was it, the mass casualty incident that took place recently, this was the Highland Park, what was it, Highland Park elsewhere, Gun-Free Zones, Gun-Free Zones,

the store in New York, Gun-Free Zone. I mean, I'm just like going through my list at Gun-Free Zone, Gun-Free Zone. Nashville, the killer targeted explicitly set in writings, gun-free zone. Do you know that over 70% of these are chosen by killers specifically because they are gun-free zones? This is a data set, again, taken from Stanford University. So you actually are more likely to be a victim of a mass casualty incident in a gun-free zone than not in a gun-free zone. That's why killers specifically target gun-free zone. that's why and so what would she what would she have what would further prevent what the tragedy

that took place at brown what would further prevent that they had every law there without knowing anything about the assailant or anything they immediately well you know the answer is to make more people defenseless yes that that is the answer police have no obligation to protect your life who do they think is going to protect you there have been several a couple of rulings on this. One of the biggest ones is the Castle Rock v. Gonzalez. It was the 7-2 Supreme Court ruled that if an intruder has broken into your home or not, well, basically the Supreme Court ruled that, no, there is not a legal obligation for anybody to protect your life.

So if you live in some of these areas where, you know, somebody is either carrying out mass casualty fetishes or they're trying to hurt you, to bust up in your home hurt you and your family. I mean, you have to realize it doesn't matter where you are. Nothing. There's no context that changes the absolute indisputable fact that law enforcement has no legal obligation at all whatsoever to protect your life. You are literally your own first responder. And by, I mean, really, I think the average is kind of pop all over the place depending on where you are in Atlanta. It's about 11 minutes for first responders to arrive. It's about nine minutes in Nashville. The more. rule the area, the longer it takes for law enforcement to show up. But there is, they have no

legal obligation at all whatsoever to protect your life. None at all. This is, I mean, this is incredibly important. Brown University clearly did not have enough on campus in order to protect students adequately after disarming them. And then maybe, without knowing anything about the assailant, how can anyone even come to a conclusion as to what the cause is yet? They always go to guns, but again, we've always had guns. That's never been the issue. The issue is people. The issue is culture.

The issue is the lawlessness and disorder that's perpetuated by the ruling classes that run our prosecutor's offices in major U.S. cities. That's a big deal. It's just asinine. Cut 15. Chris Murphy, going all in. listen to this. We haven't had the wherewithal to do anything in Washington of, I mean, we did a little bit

a few years ago, but of means for years and years and years. But having said that Rhode Island has some pretty strict gun laws. They have universal background checks, red flag laws, waiting periods to purchase a gun. So this is about, and we've talked about this, much more than gun violence. It is gun violence, but the laws could be stronger, but they're stronger than other places in Rhode Island. Well, but the laws do make a difference. I mean, if you look at states like Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, California that have stronger laws. We have gun violence rates, murder rates, mass shooting rates that are two to three to four times lower than states that have loose gun laws.

That's not true. What? What? What? That's not even remotely. accurate. In fact, the statistics that I was sharing with you earlier about how 2% of the counties are driving, you know, somewhere about 50-some-odd percent of the crime, or if you go up to 5% of the counties, all those counties are Democrat-run counties with major urban centers. And they all have

super-stroke gun control. So what he's talking about isn't supported by any kind of fact at all whatsoever. That's just stupid. And Dana Bash doesn't know enough about this to push back on him and say, well, wait a minute, what about the compilation that's coming from FBI Uniform Crime Reports in state and local reporting that shows that of these 2% of the counties across the United States account for over 50% of all the crime? Or we could even go up higher. 5% of these counties, which all include an urban, a big urban center, account for over 68% of all the crime. How do you explain this in all of these counties, particularly explicitly, have serious gun control? they're all in California and Illinois and New York or Washington or Oregon

I mean they're all in states that have a lot of gun control I mean this is this this is why all of this stuff is important to know if you're going to be a journalist and you're going to have these people on and you're going to ask them questions you need to know enough about it so when they say this stuff you can push back and say wait a minute how do you reconcile that with these basic facts because it just sounds like you're spouting an agenda

it just sounds like you're just you know riffing off of talking points. It's just asinine. The stuff that they're, it's just asinine. And you're, the, the sad thing is, is that nothing is ever going to get solved because they have no interest in solving it. People who have interest in solving the issue acknowledge the facts of the issue. They don't make up stuff as a way to help their argument. If you're, if they're going into this trying to help their argument, then they do not have the goal of improving the situation. They do not have the goal of uncovering truth. They do not have the goal of solving the issue. That's why I immediately discount the people who do this. You cannot trust them.

They are already betraying you just right out of the gate. We got a lot more on the way. Coming up, a few things. Got a lot to hit, actually, still. I don't even think I've gotten through most of the show because we have to talk about the attack in Syria. We also have to get to the Rob Reiner stabbing. Horrific. It is just, it's horrific what happened. I would not wish that on my worst enemy. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. All right. And I will warn you, Steve, I do have a villager story here.

First up, though, something, this doesn't seem very high speed. Florida Man leads police on a quote unquote high speed chase in a giant, slow-moving semi. 51-year-old, his last name is Lobowski. It's so perfect. Christopher Lobowski was apprehended after a high-speed pursuit.

It was not high-speed. And it's safe to say that he really struggled driving this thing. It wove dangerously in and out of traffic and barely conducted a perilous U-turn on the

highway drove into incoming lanes people barely escaped being hit and it finally concluded and the police were able to take the guy into custody but man alive that's something else let's see we also okay now we got a villager story we got a village is not going to be prosecuted in an umbrella attack on her can I say that word It's the B word for dudes, but it doesn't end with itch. Husband. She's very not happy. Her mugshot, Dolores Dennis.

Why does she have three first names? She, 76-year-old Dolores Dennis. She is a village of Virginia. The charges were dropped against her. Her husband went to Sumer County Sheriff's Office. He said his wife had threatened him with her at the pointy end of an umbrella during an argument. and they had an four-day-long argument. Wow.

And she hit him on the head with her umbrella. And she said, he said that she'd also been armed with a knife and threatened to cut his ankle so he couldn't walk. And he tried to record some of the chaos. So charges were dropped bizarrely. How much you want to bet they're going to be in our Florida man again here soon? Right. Third hour coming up. Welcome back to a super pack program because it's been a crazy weekend of news.

Dana Lash with you. We're at the top of this third hour. The, I mean, we're going to get into the two American soldiers killed in a terror attack in Syria, but also the story with Rob Reiner. That was news that just came out of nowhere yesterday. His son stabbed him and his wife to death. When I first saw, or I think when I first heard about the story, it said that there were two fatalities at Rob Reiner's home. I just immediately didn't think of him being, one of the fatalities right i was thinking oh there was an accident or then i thought well maybe it's like one of those carbon monoxide kind of issues you know i was just thinking i didn't think of what happened that he was stabbed to death by his son uh which is horrific and apparently his son was really

really really troubled and uh there i mean even so much with his siblings apparently hours before the he uh rob reiner and his wife were at conan o'brien's christmas party with their son nick who now has been arrested in charge with the killing of his mother and father and apparently they've always kind of had a strained relationship i know that they did a film together that kind of focus was kind of focused on nick's struggles with drug addiction and things like that and they said that he was an intense kid who screamed like the world was on fire, according to a family friend and someone who wrote about apparently child behavioral problems. Just, I mean, awful.

They had, I mean, I can't imagine your last moments on earth. You're looking in the face of your child, the person that you love more than, you know, you love so much. would give your life for and you brought into this world and raised them up and just to have your final moments be their furious face as they end your life. I can't imagine anything more horrific. I mean, that's just horrifying. And for his siblings, because he has a brother and a sister too. Ghali, I don't, how do they, how do they even deal with that? That's just horrible, absolutely horrible. Apparently as Miss Seuss found him. And, yeah, they were at. at the Conan O'Brien holiday party, it says, per TMZ, they got into a very loud argument

that other guests could hear. And then Rob Reiner and his wife left the party. And then Sunday, everybody had their throat slit. I mean, because that's how he killed him. He slit their throat and then stabbed them. Awful. And I, no one said what the argument was about. Other than that, they had just, he just had an argument and it was very, very loud. Some, Apparently, he was in rehab a lot. He was like in rehab, what, 14, 15 times? His son was in rehab for a long time. And apparently also dealt with mental illness.

So he was on drugs. He was mentally ill. Had apparently a history of mental illness. Which makes me think also maybe there was a history of violence there. But, man, I just can't. It's awful. Now, I know that when, and I've seen some of the stuff out there, people, normally, if I really don't like the individual

and it's bad news, I just don't say anything. This was just such a horrifying way to go out. No matter how much I would disagree with anybody about politics, I would never hope that they go out this. This is just awful. And I just can't even imagine. Your own child. Can't even imagine.

I wanted to play for you this reaction that Rob Reiner had when he was asked about the assassination of Charlie Kirk. And the reason I'm playing this is because there's a lot of meanness and nastiness out there.

I really, you know, I know we all love POTUS and we all of him, you know, taken down people on the left. I don't think that his tweet about this was the best. I think it was a misstep. He had tweeted about Rob Reiner and got real political about it.

And I just, I don't think it's helpful. I don't think it's helpful. We're like right before Christmas, especially, you know, Rob Reiner was very grace. about the assassination of Charlie Kirk. And I wanted to play this audio for you because this was at a time

when nobody else in Hollywood. And I'm just putting it out there. This was a time when no one else in Hollywood was speaking about it in this way. And I think he was one of the first. Listen to this. And I unfortunately saw the video of it. And it's beyond belief

what happened to him. And that should never. happened to anybody. I don't care what your political beliefs are. That's not acceptable. That's not a solution to solving problems. And I felt like what his wife said at the service that the memorial they had was exactly right. And totally, I believe, you know, I'm Jewish, but I believe in the teachings of Jesus. And I believe in doing to others. And I believe in forgiveness. And what she said to me was beautiful and absolutely, you know, she forgave his assassin. And I think that that is admirable. I mean, indeed. Just that was a very, and remember that when he said that,

that was at a time when you had celebrities going, yeah, well, their politics were horrible or he had it coming. He was like one of the first people who said, and he was pretty early out of the gate, like, no, no, no, this is just awful. And I just thought that was very classy. POTUS had tweeted about it. And he said, a very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, he says, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy stars passed away together with his wife, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive unyielding an incurable affliction with a mind-crippling disease known as Trump derangement syndrome, sometimes referred to as TDS. And he was talking about it. And he said,

may rob him, Michelle rest in peace. Oh my gosh, come on, guy. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on. And it's real. This was not an AI thing for the people. It was a real post. I just, there's a, this, the way that he went out was horrific. And that's it. No one, no one, nobody I there's no amount of political disagreement that would make me want your last moments to be looking in the eyes of your child as they cut your throat it's awful we got to get to a moment where we recover a little bit of our humanity I was thinking about this jokingly I was looking at potis's tweet I'm like potis come on potis and I wanted to I my first thought was dude that seems like TDS. You can't have TDS because you're, or DTS because you're DT. You can't have DTS because

you're DT. It's my first thought. I just, oh, just awful. Can I, and this is, do you ever have weird thoughts like this? The other thing that popped into my head was, I actually never thought, not that I ever thought about Rob Reiner passing away or anything like that, but it was just so, it's so shocking that you think of all the ways that you thought. somebody might go even if you never actually thought about it that's not the way that you thought they would go right like maybe peacefully in their sleep after a nice meal or maybe you know i don't know not like that just horrific but it's okay to try to find humanity in other people and can i encourage you in this which is weird for me to say because i'm one of the meanest people that's in this industry

admittedly you don't have to wait for the other person to demonstrate humanity before you do it's not a weakness it's not a weakness i mean in scripture you're told well how i mean jesus explicitly it's in the red letters in the bible and y'all know what that means where he says how easy for it how easy is it for you to like people who like you how easy is it for you to do good unto people who do good unto you. But doing good to others without the expectation of reciprocity, being kind to others without the expectation of reciprocity, that is true strength and true discipline. So just a thought.

But it's horrific. It's incredibly sad. And I feel so bad for his other two kids because it's, you know, they're Jewish and it's Hanukkah. And this is how they started Hanukkah. just awful awful awful also awful the americans in syria this is a story that potus has already said that there's going to be serious retaliation two soldiers and a civilian interpreter were killed during an ambush in syria by an ISIS terrorist also over the weekend the killer was led by partner forces during a skirmish, according to Sec War, and they were ambushed. And so

now we have two service members' families who are not going to have their loved ones anymore, not for this Christmas or any other. It's another horrific, absolutely horrific situation. And the president had said, quote, the president of Syria is extremely angry. and disturbed by this attack, there will be Syria's retaliation. Thank you very attention to this matter. He says there was an attack against the U.S. and Syria in a very dangerous part of Syria that is not fully under control. And he vowed that there will be some retaliation of what that was. We don't know. But just awful. And there's also questions as to, because apparently what was it, they were saying that one of the, that the suspect, this individual,

may have also been, I mean, apparently was one of those individuals that was, like, what, part of the new incoming regime or had some contacts placed up high into the new regime. There's, it just, it's terrorism. This Islamism threat is growing, continuing to grow. I mean, I have a couple of other, like we had this story, the FBI planned, it stopped a planned new year. Eve bombing in L.A. by a terrorist cell. They called themselves, let me get this name right, the Turtle Island Liberation Front, or they were an offshoot of the Turtle Island Liberation Front, and they had an eight-page handwritten diatribe that they titled Operation Midnight Sun. They laid out the bombing plot and they were mad over Gaza. And I'm not going to get it all the names and all the other stuff that they had. But yeah, they were planning a big New Year's Eve terror attack. I hate saying this, but okay, that's one that we know of. What about the rest of them? I hate saying it, but it makes you very suspicious.

It makes you concerned. We have a lot more. I mean, because we're unpacking this. We're unpacking the ISIS attack in Syria as well as a whole bunch of other stuff because it's been a very, very busy week in the Brown University as well. And, of course, now we're going to be rolling into the Christmas season and New Year's and what does that mean for your security if you're traveling if you're going if you're out and about um i think that a lot of people are or are reconsidering that in new ways this season

especially with all these increases in attacks etc so we have a lot still and now all of the news you would probably miss it's time for dana's quick five so apparently there are there is such a thing as a phone addiction i just think it's a variable and people can have addictive personalities. So apparently people were asked, what would you rather do than give up your phone? And the answer is pretty amazing. In fact, it's so amazing, they buried it. Five graphs deep into this piece. It's pretty fantastic.

But they said that Americans check their phones 262 times per day once every five minutes. I don't check my phone that much. I don't. No. I do not check my phone that much. So that is kind of crazy. I feel like I get notifications.

more often than once every five minutes? You think so? I think so. I'm saying this is this very fascinating stuff here. That was an older study, too, by the way. I think 20, 21. From 2021. So, yeah, people would rather, I mean, they apparently,

they would rather shave off an eyebrow, they said. Yeah, that's actually one answer that a bunch of people gave. Why is that your go-to? Like, I don't know. Anyway, the article's so poorly written and the news site, their website sucks so bad. I'm just abandoning in the story because the lead is literally like eight graphs in and then they split it up

and they end their sentences with propositions and I just want to just kill them all rhetorically speaking. Also let's see I just lost my whole I don't know where it is. I lost it. Hold up. Here it is. I found I got to move around some

windows. A Delaware man called police to get his belongings after a stolen car was to, okay and why is this news? he uh he stole the car that's why it's news he stole it he was he called called police on himself the uh individual 21 year old cayon baxter uh he said he wanted to reach he said oh yeah it's i need to get some of the uh items out of this hunday and get some of the items that were inside and he was taken into custody uh on the same street actually where it was stolen uh the

car had been recovered from a local towing company. He was charged with a felony account of theft of motor vehicle arraigned and later released. So, yeah, that's just the dumbest thing. Dad hits back with a... He got a letter over a tacky decorations in Britain, and so then he decided to put a 16-foot-tall, inflatable grinch in his front lawn.

Okay. I don't know. Can you have tacky Christmas decorations? I just think the more there are, the more I like it. I like it I want it to look like there's a whole universe in your yard That's how much

In the eye of the beholder Yeah you know those people just don't love Jesus As much as we do It's okay A lawyer sees the IRS Demanding that it recognized pets As legal dependents And I am absolutely all for this

Yes make it a legal dependent Yes I completely agree with this Go lawyer go And doctors delivered a baby While also They called it a medical miracle They removed a 22 pound tumor

A tumor there's 22 pounds pounds at the same time. So baby's deliberate healthy mom and baby are recovering. We have more in store. Stick with us. The Dana Show podcast, your fast, funny, and informative news companion for those always on the move. Subscribe on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts. We take Asia's advice very seriously. We work closely with them. We receive regular updates as well. The Director General of Asia has warned about a range of threats, be it anti-Semitism, the rise of right-wing extremist groups as well. And we continue to work closely with our security agencies. Oh, wow.

So that's the Prime Minister of Australia, who says that the true threat is the right-wing extremist groups. you just had an Islamic terror attack, you absolute Bacabazi. I mean, did you even, did your masters even give you a towel before you were able to clean up and go in front of the camera? I'm curious. Did they at least allow that for you to happen when you stop dancing for them? I'm really curious because you say it's a right-wing thing, but all of your mass casualty incidents of late have been Islamist attacks. Australia has an Islamist problem. And it's just amazing to watch their problem.

prime minister cuck himself on live television. Yeah, that's exactly what he did. Just horrible. How embarrassing that that's your leader. I mean, you have innocence who are targeted by an Islamist and he's out there going right wing. It's just ridiculous. This is ridiculous. It's Islamism. And unfortunately, it's going to keep happening, especially because Australia indulges this. Their leadership indulges this at the expense of innocence. As it relates to Brown University, do we know what we know yet? This is cut 10. This reporter asked the president of the university,

how do you not know what was going on in the classroom where all of this kicked off? Listen. BC, when it happened and flew right back and I'm catching up right now. President, with all due respect, six hours after this shooting and you said you don't know what was going on in that classroom? How does that happen? Were they taking an exam? Were they meeting for a club? I don't know. I don't know.

Six hours later, and you're the president, and you don't know. I do not know. Well, that's kind of concern. I got a lot of questions about that as well. I mean, I understand that they're trying to, that they're conducting an investigation still, but do you realize that this is how conspiracy theory start when there isn't, and when there's not a lot of transparency and there's not a lot of answers, that is still a problem?

them. And they're still, they were asking Providence officials, this is cut 11. How come there's no video from inside? Why isn't there any video? Listen to this. What's about the process? The most common question I've gotten for the last 24 hours. It revolves around the fact that Brown University is the most

camera-ridden most, were conscious a piece of real estate Rhode Island, and yet there seems to be little or no video evidence outside of that clip. You know, respecting the investigation, is there a lot more video that we're just not able to see that because of the ongoing investigation or is there

simply no video? So what we share with you the other day is what we have that we could share and then we'll continue to, again, we're continuing to collect evidence. As we speak, we have detectives out there trying to continue to find. So I want to tell you that there's no more video because we might find something within the next few minutes. So, so yes, it's possible, but what we gave you the other days what we have. Go ahead. So, Colonel, if you wouldn't mind, I mean, there's video cameras cane literally everywhere. almost i guess i just don't pull i'm just i got questions i don't know i just i got a lot of questions i i i just um and the fact that it it i don't know i've got questions this is insane

it's insane so we have this we have the syria attack and you know i'm sure at some point that's like they tried doing in austral i can i just go back i'm still stuck on the fact that their prime minister is now like oh well you know yes we just had islamas shoot up our country but uh That's right-wing. Right-wing terror attacks. He actually, at one point, said, was talking about anti-Semitism and the rise of the increasing anti-Semitism, and then he decided to get into right-wing groups. Who are the people shooting up Jewish people right now? Oh, Islamist, that's correct. By the way, you know that there was another, let me go back to this, but bear with me because I have a lot of stuff in front of me. There was also pulling this up, a shooting into the home of a

family in California. They, this also happened. It was in Redlands, California, and someone shot up a Jewish family's house. So you have the terrorist attack, you've involved in a car trying to ram people in Germany. You have Brown University that started off in a Jewish professor's classroom. You have the Bondi Beach massacre, which dad and son jihadi. team decided to try and shoot up a beach of people. And then you had the shooting in California. A lot of, I saw a lot of shares of this video where the guy who initially disarmed the

Bondi killer. It was a Muslim man who disarmed that killer. But I don't know if he knew how to work the gun because he at one point grabbed the gun from him and then you know held it drew down on him i was i'm looking at the video right now he was able to get the rifle away from him and then he ended up uh the guy walked off and then went to join the other guy where they continued shooting for like 20 minutes and i think he just didn't he's being celebrated as a hero the the Sydney man who disarmed one of the Bondi Beach terrorists. He's a tobacco shop owner. He was identified as a fruit shop owner, but he's a tobacco shop owner. Um, Ahmed al-Amed. He rushed one of the terrorists that opened fire at this Jewish event, grabbed him from behind, wrestled away the gun.

He was shot twice in the whole ordeal. He's actually in the hospital. He's recovering in the hospital but he a lot of people you know were lauding his brave act and i'm glad that he did it although the guy was able came from what i understand the guy was then able to walk back over to the other terrorist and continue shooting yeah like he took the gun from him either it was jammed or he didn't know how to use it or something but that guy ended up well he ended up getting shot anyway by police or someone there. I would have pistol whipped the guy. I wouldn't have let him go.

Oh, I see you. No, no, no. If I didn't have a gun, I would, I'm going to murder you. Actually, it's going to be justified a homicide. I'm going to take you out. If you see, because I saw the different angles of the video and different things happening, the guy that was positioned on that bridge, that little over walkway thing, actually was probably the one that put the bullets in the guy that disarmed the Muslim.

And so I think that guy was trying to find some protection by that tree there and where he was just kind of like, I've already got, you know, so he probably couldn't advance because the guy that was on that walkway had him positioned. And it makes me think he didn't know how to operate the, that rifle is kind of one of the, what I was thinking of, but, but yeah, this duo, 16 fatalities, 40 hospitalized. and the dad the dad is the one who was disarmed by the tobacco shop owner but then he was able to kind of like walk and you can see in the video he was able to sort of walk away after i um and you think that maybe it was because the guy on the bridge the sun on the bridge that's why no one could yeah he had the higher position of everybody there on the beach even the people that were in the building across the street they were at a higher advantage point to those people that were across the street so yeah I would imagine the guy was just trying not to get shot more

I think I still probably would have risked it and raced him and would have taken him out I mean I just it's something else I gotta tell you I'm speaking at a Texas Jewish event this week and for the second time of my life I'm going to be walking out on stage with a 9mm on my hip

just because even there's going to be security and all that there. And I'm going to, because you can't be too, you don't know anymore. You don't know. You don't know. Because Islamism is such a threat. But I will say this. If there's any terrorist that tries anything, I will not only take you out, I will go after everyone you love. It'll be John Wick enraged on every kind of road you can imagine. And it will never end. It'll never end. I mean, it'll, mm-mm. just all I'm going to say I'm going to say don't tempt people who train for Glock o'clock with a good time do not so I want to because we have I there's this other story that I want to get in

that's different from all of the other stuff that we've been talking about it's been really chaotic and there's by the way up over at substack we've got a lot of stuff up there too Lorraine's got her piece up, The Weekend Evil Report, that gets into every single one of these, including, and I'm going to, she also includes the Germany Christmas Market because they had foiled a plot to Islamists. They were going to attack a Christmas market in Bavaria. They had five men that were arrested for plotting this attack. They had an Egyptian imam that had convinced three Moroccan men to drive a vehicle into a Christmas market, and a 38-year-old Syrian man was arrested for encouraging the attack. Now, I mean, pretty much literally almost a year ago they had this same situation but somebody did drive a car into a christmas market in germany so there's tons of stuff up about this this is a little different let me share the story with you because i i want to get it out this is from new york post this has to do with san francisco uh did you guys know i did not know this that there was a program in San Francisco

that it was a $5 million a year program that was giving free alcohol to the homeless I didn't know about this apparently a tech CEO found out about it and questioned it Adam Nathan founder and CEO of

this AI marketing tool he's also the chair of the Salvation Army San Francisco Metro Advisory Board he had this threat on X and he said that San Francisco spent two million a year on the managed alcohol program and it provides alcohol, free alcohol to people who are dealing with chronic alcoholism and who are, he said they're homeless. He said the location is this old hotel and in the lobby they had kegs set up to taps where they're just literally giving out free beer to these people. He said there's been, I mean, he said that the Department of Public Health is, it's $2 million of taxpayer money. And he dove in, I mean, and it's actually more than that. Oh, I am floored.

I had no idea about that. They said that the four-year-old program actually cost, according to the San Francisco Chronicle, $5 million a year, not $2 million, and that they have controlled doses. of vodka and beer that they offer at specific times of the day and the program has grown because they also offer like they have like beds in their building and it started with 10 beds and now it's 20 um wow this how is aiding someone in their addiction helping them with recovery I mean it's rhetorical because it's not taxpayer funded they and so people were saying that there were no public hearings to approve this program they apparently had no discussions of this at all with their city council or anything they said that um the health department they did not they were worried over how the program would be perceived by the public so that's why nothing was ever made public about it wow you can't make this stuff up this is insanity five million dollars for yes five million

to ensure these people stay sick and addicted yeah and controlled san francisco and then people wonder why it's in the state that it is we have uh more uh oh my goodness it's there's a lot uh i know we are complete i mean it's just chaotic and overwhelmed with news today and don't forget if you missed anything you can go and find it up on our podcast as well not able to catch the full dana show follow dana's absurd truth podcast and get news and laughs delivered in short easy to digest episodes ideal for your busy lifestyle on apple or wherever you get your podcast i took issue with some of these idiots on social media like that i had this this one did i don't know who this is i'm just you see it as an example who was trying to take issue with my fact-based observation

of defensive gun usage and decided to do an a i query which i can't stand it's a he used a stupid lazy screenshot of an AI query that you cited this notoriously unreliable called Gun Violence Archive website that I debunked in a previous book, by the way. They are so notoriously horrific that even the far left Marxist entity, Mother Jones, wrote an article debunking them, as did the New York Times. And just to give you an example, and this is what I included in my book, they, one of the examples that they gave, and there were many that were insane, but one of the ones that sticks out was a 3 a.m. drug deal. down the street from a school that the GVA literally tried to use as an example of a school

shooting to pad their numbers. So yes, anybody that decides to lazily use GVA in an idiotic AI query as evidence for their dumb argument deserves to be ridiculed into oblivion. They are notoriously unreliable. And my point stands. This is crazy. You know, the real fight, like I said, is against Islamism. Do you know in Paris, they've canceled their New Year's Eve concert on the Champs, the Champs-Aisei as the violence has been growing. Islamist violence grows. True. They've had throngs of Muslim migrants that have been streaming in from Paris's suburbs.

They go and they loot stores and they brawl with other Parisians and police. And the Parisian police, they told the mayor that they needed to scrap this annual concert that they have because they can't assure a secure event. We're going to talk more about this tomorrow. In addition to the windows of the Notre Dame, the Notre Dame, they've replaced them with horrific, wokery nonsense. We're going to talk about that tomorrow as well, because we are out of time today. Kane, today in stupidity.

All right. There are a lot of tone-deaf Democrats out there, but Schumer is one of the bigger ones. Cut 17, Juan. This is him about to address the Brown University shooting. Listen to what he says. And, of course, I'm going to say a few words about the terrible shooting in Sydney, Australia. Okay? So, and first, of course, as I always say, no matter what, go bills.

They beat the Patriots today. big deal. Why? Why would you do that right then? Oh my gosh. Why would you do that right then? That's so bad. That's just not. Makes you want to put cheese on raw burger. That made me sick. That's so gross.
