So many people across this country are desperate for the government to reopen.

At the very moment that they do that final vote, I will call all House members to return to Washington as quickly as possible. We'll give a 36-hour formal and official notice so that we can vote as soon as possible to pass the amended CR bill and get it to the president's desk. As you all know, and he said as recently as last night, I was with him, and he told the press. he said we want to get the government open he's very anxious to get the government reopened and to end the Schumer shutdown we all are well it finally happened well there's still more

there's still more to do before everybody gets super excited about it because you know you have to go through the house and you've got to go through and that vote I think is expected on Wednesday I don't think that's going to be I don't foresee a problem going through the house because it wasn't the house that had the problem in the first place

it was the Senate it was the Senate that was fighting with and dealing with everything. So this is, the shutdown has ended, well, technically. But then you have to have, like I said, this vote in the house. And that is, I think they're saying Wednesday for that. I think it's Wednesday that they're going to be doing that. So that's going to be the latest.

I'm actually looking at some of this stuff. And then we've got all of the stuff. the people who voted to end the shutdown, what tweaks were in it. There were a lot of fights over stimmy checks. I don't like that. People don't understand the reduction of purchase power that comes with us. We're going to talk a little bit about it. I thought Carol Roth was great with it on social. So I don't really know what Democrats have gotten from this. I mean, I really don't see what wins they have. But like I said, we're going to get into all of it. Also, they've broken open into a complete and total civil war on the left as a result of their votes on this.

I think I get the impression that this is like the last gasp. I think this is the last gasp maybe of the more moderates in the Democrat Party is how I'm. I'm looking at this because I don't know if they're ever going to be able to muster because they had eight of them, muster the votes needed to do something like this again. So we got a lot to unpack, get into, and it's actually a cold day in Texas. It's a cold day. Falls here. It's officially fall. So welcome to the program, Dana Lash, with you. Actually, what is the temperature here today? I got to look at it. It is, oh my gosh, it's 50 degrees. Light the fires. The Pekins of condor lit light them all up because holy wow it's 50 degrees can it's fire weather it's 50 it's

it's cinnamon weather all of that all right so yeah so the uh shut down is in ended i say that with air quotes so the senate advances it now everyone's like well what is happening now like who who well you know fetterman was one of the was one of the votes for it uh to get get to actually for this to get to end the shutdown they you had eight of these democrats that voted for this and i know i didn't even think there was eight democrats to vote for this you had fetterman you had maggie hasan of new hampshire you also had um tim cane did you think you'd hear that name tim cane voted to end this i think they were starting to see some of the writing on the wall.

I do now, I know a lot of people were like, well, you know, the, the election that took place was largely decided based on the economy. Yes, I don't disagree with that, but I also think that, I don't necessarily think the shutdown played as big of a role as the left wants to think, but I do think that it, that had it gone on, if we were in like a greater election cycle, like midterms, then perhaps you would have maybe seen a little bit differently. But anyway, so you have Tim Cain. Yeah, there were a lot of these. I know.

Angus King of Maine, Jackie Rosen of Nevada. Janine Shaheen. Jean Shaheen in New Hampshire. So these are the kind of, you know, more moderate ones that ended up voting for this. Now, and they all, you know, they had eight of them who crossed the line. Now they're, oh my gosh, their Democrats are in a full on war as a result of this. full-on war as a result of this. They're very upset at these people that voted.

They said, oh, you just gave them. I don't know where they're talking about. You gave anybody, anything that they wanted. That's just kind of stupid. But they had this vote yesterday. And then Roe Kahana of California said that as a result of this, Schumer is no longer effective and he needs to be replaced. So they're mad at Schumer. They want him out as a result.

They're blaming him for caving on this stuff. that's how they're looking at it. So you had a Schiff who also said he put out a video after he had a no vote. I don't care about any of these people. Do you care about any of that? I don't care about any of these people. They lost. They ended up losing it because they were getting their butts whipped in the court of public opinion.

So now the Senate advances it. And we'll see what happens from here on now. But as much as we talk about the Civil War on the right, the one on the left is, I mean, they're just trying to figure out what degree of socialist they are. That's ultimately what it's all about. now in this isn't the only bad news for democrats you also have and we'll talk a little bit more about this coming up the supreme court ruling the scotis has declined a case challenging overfell democrats hardest hit this has to do with excuse me this has to do with same-sex marriage

and democrats are saying that that that potis is going to over this is this is the same argument that they've had from the from the get-go so that's also bad news for them they're having some bad not having a bad day democrats are not starting their week out the best now uh let me pull up this other stuff i have all these windows open the some of the promises that came in there were a couple of things that conservatives were a little nervous about the two thousand dollar check for every american thanks to the tariff revenue that's a stimulus check you realize that and everyone's like well

it's our tax dollars anyway, shouldn't we get it back? Yes, but at the same time, do you realize what you're doing, though, with it? That's like when you're at Chuck E. Cheese and you play, you spend like $10 to get a long string of tickets, and you end up using your tickets, your winnings, to go and trade them in for a stuffed animal that was made for 50 cents in China. That's literally the equivalent of this. Kane, I feel like I'm very happy with my comparison there. Wouldn't you agree? I'd say that's pretty accurate. That's pretty accurate. It's just like paying $10 at like Chucky Cheese or something or Dave and Busters.

And then you get all these tickets. And then when you go to redeem them, you get a 50 cent made in China toy. And that's supposed to be like a big thing. And you're supposed to be very excited about that. That is exactly what this is like. Giving out, yes, it's tech. Why don't we just cut taxes? If we have all of this money to give away, cut the damn taxes.

I don't want redistribution of income. It's exactly what this is. is this isn't a conservative proposal for the love of all things holy this isn't a conservative proposal it's so leftist you got democrats out there rushing to rub all over it it's such a leftist proposal stop it just cut damn taxes for everyone don't sit here well just give two times no it's like again spending 10 dollars to get a made in china 50 cent thing you're you're killing you're killing how far your dollar how much your dollar's able to purchase you're You're killing your purchase power.

It ruins it. It's a bad thing in the long run. So that's, that's, that is one of the, uh, one of the proposals that was coming through. And then of course, we're going to get into the 50 year mortgage. I don't know. Uh, but in the meantime, now we have, uh, looking at Democrats, I saw this fascinating piece over at the New York Times. Because everybody's been discussing, well, what are we going, what are, what's going to happen

in 26? what's going to happen with midterm? What's going to happen in 28? Who are Democrats going to push out there? I mean, they're struggling to discover the front-facing avatar, their avatar of identity. New York Times has a story, man, Donnie isn't the future of Democrats, this guy is. And do you know the photo that they used? Do you know the individual that they said?

It's Josh Shapiro. Interesting, is it not? We talked about him last time around. We thought he would have been, I mean, a dangerous nominee had Democrats actually, you know, elected to have him instead of going with Kamala Harris or even going again with Joe Biden. But the reason that Josh Shapiro didn't get it is because these Jewish and Democrats are notoriously anti-Semitic, although some on the right are giving him a run for their money. Oh, you know, it's true. So there, the New York Times said, you know who would be a good candidate? This guy would be a good candidate.

It is never going to happen. It is never going to happen. Josh Shapiro has a better chance running as a Republican than he ever does than he ever will running as a Democrat. It's just not going to happen for him as a Democrat. There's no way that they're going to go. No way they're going to go for that. They were talking about the centrists in their party. There aren't even enough centrists.

And then of the centrist. the centrist elements within the Democrat Party there aren't enough to carry something like that within their base like within their party there are not enough to pledge

for this is not going to happen I mean I'm I think he would be an incredibly dangerous candidate for Democrats but if he was going if they were going to pick him they would have picked him this last election because I think he would have run

I think he would have run and I think he would have I don't know how well Trump would have done in the blue wall had Josh Shapiro been running. Now, he's horrible on policies. Josh Shapiro's horrible. But he's, I can't believe him's saying this. He seems more reasonable than the AOC types. We're going to dive into this, this hour.

We also have headlines on the way as we move. The folks who make the program possible, it is the people who are over at Relief Factor. you guys have heard them on the show and we've always talked about if you want a 100% drug-free way to deal with everyday aches and pains well that's one way to do it they want me to tell you about this guy named Bob who's 63 years old

with 40 years as a car painter and a body man Bob could barely walk and he couldn't make it up the stairs by day four or five he felt the change but after just eight days on relief factor he was 75% better and thoroughly impressed as Bob shared after just eight days, he felt 75% better. These kinds of transformations can't be ignored. Relief Factor helps support your body's natural inflammatory response.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

all right so first up so wait for this to slowly load here for some reason it decided to freeze uh trump is threatening to see the bbc for a billion dollars over edited coverage of him do you realize how many times they had to have already issued different retractions for stuff the bbc that's something we're going to dive into here coming up but uh i don't think that he may necessarily lose something like this also scotis is going to hear a republican lawsuit that that could radically restrict male voting. So it's a major case. It has major implications.

They're going to decide whether or not mail and ballots have to be received by election date account or if it merely must be sent by then. I think it should be received by election day. If your ballot is not there, I mean, if we're going to have mail, you know, mail in ballots and if your ballot is not there, then that's kind of your problem.

You know, if you're, and I, that's just the way it is. You don't like it. Tough. Tough. It's so easy to cheat this system. It is so easy. I told people that I've gotten mail and ballots for people who are fraudulently registered up my home address. And I had to fight with the Board of Elections to get those struck. And it's not an easy thing to do. And a lot of the people that govern that, they just don't even care. They don't care. They're like, what's a couple of votes? What if it's more than just a couple? Aliens, guys. Alien and alien ship releases seven jets with a glowing halo as it nears the sun. Please, dear heavens, that's all I want for Christmas is an alien spaceship to come into clear war on Earth. I'm so bored with all the infighting and, you know, we hate the Jews from the right and the left. I'm so tired of it.

So I would love that. I want that. But they said, it's, okay, when someone's an alien expert, how are you an alien expert? This is all subjective, right? So I can't even take seriously this lead. They go, an alien expert claims, it's the space turd up in the sky. Remember that grew a tail? they're saying well it's actually looks like it's an alien ship with the complex jet structure

how are you an alien expert there have no bit there have been no aliens here that we know of and i seriously doubt that a guy who would advertise himself as an alien expert is going to be one of the guys that they led into this top secret base somewhere out in the desert to go and look at the alien stuff don't you agree cane so i can't take any just it feels like such a letdown nobody hates the shysters in the alien world more than me because they kill my hope makes me sad I don't even want to talk about the flight cancellations. Now, just when this headline was added in, over 1,100 flights canceled Sunday, do you know that those cancellations have climbed to now over 3,000?

Well, that's also with, I think, 1,500 delays, but then that's also the cancellation. That was just a piece that I read this morning. And this is going to happen until they have that vote, which I think we're looking at Wednesday. So we'll see. I don't know. Kim Kardashian took the bar exam and failed. You know, she was doing an apprenticeship for years

because in California you don't have to necessarily go to law school. You can actually do an apprenticeship and that's what she was doing. And apparently she took the bar and failed on her first try. So I guess she's ready to try again. I mean, you know, it happens sometimes. And

transgenderism is in rapid decline amongst young Americans. So all the people who tell you we're not winning, we are. Stick with us. It is the folks over at all family pharmacy.

I had already been on my antibiotics and they were going to prescribe me literally what I had already paid at all family what I already purchased at all family pharmacy the exact same thing so the doctor looks at your prescription it's sent out I mean right to your doorstep two to four days or overnight in a pinch

has a betrayal and that voters will remember next November. What do you say to Bernie Sanders? Well, I think what I'm saying is what was your strategy, man? What was your endgame? If we're going to extend the shutdown another week, another month, through Christmas, Thanksgiving, is that going to get us anywhere? The point is there never was an endgame if the initial strategy didn't work. And now we have one.

We're going to have, as I say, a guaranteed vote on the ACA. Well, it's true. What would you have done? I mean, that's the thing. You can't just sit there and say, I don't want this. And if you don't give me one and a half trillion dollars in spending for illegal aliens and for government subsidized taxpayer subsidized health care, we're not, I mean, that doesn't work anymore. That's not something that's working.

Clearly, Democrats are starting to very slowly realize this. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash. with you. We're at the bottom of this first hour. It's Monday. I don't like Mondays. Nobody likes Mondays. They are, I was telling Kane this on break because all of the drama is happening over at Blue Sky, which is, if you don't know what it is, count yourself lucky. Actually, we can all kind ourselves lucky because none of us are on it. But the Blue Sky is, it's like a stupid or X. and that it's all the left and they decided that's when they all left X

when Elon Musk purchased it and then they all went to Blue Sky and they rage at each other in a silo that's kind of all it is and if you are anyone on the right the second you open an account all you have to do is go hi and they ban you you're banned

you're out they will mass report you and you're out your mere existence is offensive your mere existence is too much for their weak and gentle constitutions to manage, and thus, you've got to go. So that's where all of the fighting is happening, apparently on Blue Sky. It's just, they're having a real one over there right now. That's the best way to put it. And I, this is what happens, though, when you allow your nut jobs to run your party.

Hmm. I don't think that the shutdown has as much to do. the shutdown singularly. I think that you have to parse this stuff out. I think the economy was the big driver of it. I think that the shutdown kind of fed into it, but not the way that Democrats want to. Because keep in mind that whenever there's been a shutdown over any election period,

it's never worked out well for Democrats despite their rhetoric. And again, I go back to 2010. I go back to 2012. You can even go back before then into the 90s. It's never benefited Democrats the way that they say because people are like, well, wait a minute. The government shut down.

This is not, you know, really disrupting my day-to-day life, so I don't care. And they're not wrong. They're not wrong. They're really trying to amp up the shutdown as it relates to airports and the delays and the cancellations. But a lot of that also was that they ran Department of Transportation. They didn't do anything, apparently, with the FAA. I mean, the FAA needs overhauled. I don't think anyone's debating against that.

But they didn't do anything. They just saw it. They just let it go. I honestly have no idea what the hell these people did for the last. four years. I legitimately don't know. I, if the continuation of the world depended on any of us being able to accurately state something that that Putt Buttigiegs did or that he did that had a positive impact on his department, we would all die because there's no, we don't, we can't come up with anything. No, they're in an open war. And then in the meantime,

the worst of the worst of their ideology is now. going to be running New York and apparently they're going to be raising property taxes based on skin color. That's one of the things that he's called, that he's called for during his election. How does that work for his election? He's called for raising taxes on certain communities because of due to skin color. He said that the city's residential property taxes are inequitable. What? That homeowners living in neighborhoods populated by minorities pay too much in property taxes. He says, and those that live in wealthier, wider neighborhoods don't pay enough. So he said it's time to shift the burden. He wants to end the cities, what he calls on,

you know he doesn't pay taxes, right? Because he doesn't even live alone. He doesn't even, he owns nothing. Unbalanced property tax system. That's what he's saying. So they're wanting to do a reassessment of everybody and look at the neighborhoods. They want to lower the payments for people like, you know, who are in Jamaica, New York or Brownsville, and then they want to increase them in the really swingy Brooklyn Brownstone area. That's good luck there, New York. Good luck. Good luck. Good luck for that with that one. You know there are people that are supportive of that. It's a major, I mean, there's a, I mean, everybody voted for him as supportive of that. He talked about that quite frequently. Although now he's

being criticized because he promised free bus rides and apparently now he realizes that you can't do that and so that's one of the other things that he's being criticized over because they're saying that he's starting to walk back some of the freebies that he was advertising. I don't know. But his demands, I mean, his people by the way have already been making serious demands. For instance, the New York Post had a very interesting piece because they, because now he's mayor-elect. so he's mayor elect now the swearing his swearing in is set for just after midnight i think what is it coming up on new year's day so we got free buses free groceries free child care free everything uh linda sarsauer do you guys remember her from when was she when was she really prominent was it

like eight years ago and she's always just remain there she's a rabidly rabidly rabid bigot. She is a major leftist, racist, and bigot. And apparently she's described as a mentor to him. And I guess he's going to somehow install her in some fashion in his cabinet or at least in his inner circle. She was co-chair of that women's march on Washington when they were protesting Trump's first term. And one of the, she was, she kind of had to leave. she was run out Linda Sarshauer's the female Nick Fuentes

they both love Islamists except you know she actually sleeps with members of the opposite sex but they they both have like the sound it's true they both have you know the same position on the Islamist

stuff and they both hate Jews and she one of the reasons that she had to leave is because she excluded anybody who was Jewish from participating in the upper levels of that women's march in 2017. She had said, quote, one cannot be a feminist and support Israel at the same time, which

I don't even understand what that means. She denounced the United States. She said that it wasn't the land of the free home of the brave. She said it was the land of genocide and slavery. And now she rallied at a private Soros conference, or sorry, Somos conference last week. She said that if you do the right thing, you're, you'll keep your job. And she's meaning you'll keep your job in his new administration going forward.

So I don't know what that means to do the right thing. You know, I guess that means you have to promote all of her insane hatred as a policy. And I think she's, it looks like she's going to be, she's with care. She does a lot of work with care. So it looks like she's going to be really there pushing all of this stuff. number one of the other things she said. She went after the Somali-born I and Herssey Ali saying that she was asking for a beat down. And then of the women that were criticizing Islamism, Islamism, she was saying, she said, quote, I wish I could take their vaginas away. They don't

deserve to be women. End quote. We actually played that on air when at the time that it happened. So yeah. And by the way, she was criticizing Ian Hersy Ali, who is the victim of female genital mutilation as it's a practice of Islamism. So, yeah, that's who is up there whispering in Mamdani's ear. In the meantime, they're all bitching and moaning at each other on blue sky over the shutdown and who voted for what. I feel like that's the least of their concerns. That and them all promising that they're going to start taxing people based on race. The smart thing that Republicans would do is to make everything Mandani does. They need to brand that as the Democrat Party for the Democrat Party as a whole. They have to brand it. Everything that

he does, it has to be tied to the National Party. I mean, because ultimately, that's what they all are. I mean, that's, that's what it is. That's what they're all going for. Now, in the meantime, in Chicago, they've had, didn't they attack ICE facilities more in Chicago? Okay, so did you see what happened in, this was insane? There are a group of suburban women. There are, a bunch of white progressive females. And they got arrested in Chicago outside of an ICE facility because they were disrupting

literal, you know, routine business. And they, apparently one of them told the press per this piece that they hoped to use their, quote, privilege as white women, end quote, to stand up for immigrants who couldn't do stuff for themselves. Y'all can't even define

what a woman is. So how in the hell are you going to use your privilege of it to do anything? And these aren't immigrants. These are people who enter the country illegally. They committed a criminal action. And then they continued committing criminal actions, which is why it was pretty easy for them to be hunted down and detained. But they tried this. They were trying all kinds of stunts. And of course, there were more things being thrown at ICE agents. But they had all of these women, every single one of them were arrested. That makes me happy. that's just just the smile that it puts on everybody's faces it's so nice so they uh they apparently were accused of like grabbing agents and all kinds of stuff and they ended up getting i mean when you

get handsy you end up getting you end up getting detained they're having a real one up there they're having a very difficult time very difficult time but i uh this goes back to what i was saying before we went to break consider all of this and then consider midterms and then 28. And this New York time, I'm going to save this piece, this New York Times piece about Josh Shapiro. Because I just, when even the New York Times knows what the Democrat Party has to do to be successful, but they won't do it because they're such rabid bigots. That's, it's stunning. It's absolutely stunning. That's never going to happen. I'm surprised that they got eight senators, eight Democrats in the Senate, beyond Federman to do this. Like when I

saw Tim Kane going towards that, I almost fell over. Tim Kane voting to shutdown. It's insane. that's how bad they're fight let them fight let them cook guys don't interrupt let them cook we have more on the way including the BBC drama also the uh oh gosh we got a lot so the head of Syria is going to be meeting with the president and I think people need to understand that it is way better to have a pro-US anti-Iranian Syrian regime as opposed to a pro-Iranian Syrian regime. We're going to talk about this coming up. We're also going to get into the trans, because now the IOC is banning transgender women from all female Olympic events, meaning they're banning men who are pretending to be women from all female Olympic events. Transgenderism

is in decline. The mind virus is now dissipating. We're going to talk about that and more as we roll ahead.

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States.

I have seen your name. So that's always swear So that's support any fan The Constitution of the United States So that's POTUS There were a lot of cheers

There were some people booing He was swearing in service members At the Commander's game Which I don't like to say Commander's game It sounds weird It's D.C. But it's also in D.C.

And that's not like, you know, it's in D.C. Is that part of the reason why there was booing? Probably. Is it D.C.? Do you think that's what it is, Steve? There's a D.C. It's a D.C. crowd that was booing. I don't know.

Well, Trump did spend some time in the broadcast booth, too. Afterwards. I thought it went well. He actually, you know, called to play, sort of. Yeah. In the booth, which was pretty cool. Commanders, though. Yeah.

I want the Redskins. back? I mean, that was such a, yeah, but you know, the white saviors, they had to, what does even, hang on in a look at this, what does their merch look like? Oh, gosh, it's horrid. It's just a W? Oh, that's so lame. That's so lame. Oh, my gosh, that's so lame. They said they're not going to return to their old name for obvious reasons, obviously, but it's just a W. Yeah, lame is celebrated. in D.C. I could never get behind that team. Never.

That's horrible. So dumb. Anyway, so coming up in our second hour, we had this headline, and now this kind of dovetails with the IOC ban to they're banning trans. They're dudes. I can't say transgender women. I'm so tired of this stupid language Olympics. Dudes who want to pretend to be women.

They're banning them from all of the female Olympic events, which is huge. It's amazing. And coupled with us, transgenderism is in rapid decline amongst young Americans. It's amazing how now it's dissipating. It was a fad for, what, Cain? Like maybe five, ten years, and now it's, has it been, what, do you think it's been 10 years? It's been a fad for 10?

Yeah, I'd say it's close to that. I know for sure five, but I think the push for it has been going on for long. longer than that. I mean, and I feel like to try to say mainstream it is really anemic compared to what I think that lobby was fighting for in terms of taxpayer subsidization of their lives, but it is in rapid, rapid decline now amongst young Americans. So does that mean that it's not trendy to pretend to be in a different sex now? Kind of seems like it. We're going to get into all of that as well. We'll have an update on the war with the woke rike. Also, the, uh, fights, the, the issues with Snap. I have an insane audio. We've got to play. I'm not

going to play it now, but just let me, let me tease it. So on CNN, they were saying that Snap was having a massive impact because one of the ladies on CNN, who has way too many extensions in her hair, she said that she went to her eyebrow tech, who told her they had to fire people because clients don't have money to do their brows. So my first thought was, why in the hell are you going and paying to have your eyebrows did if you're getting to snap? You know?

I mean, I would think, feed your babies, get your eyebrows done. What do you think is going to weigh out here in the game of needs over once? So, oh, it's real. And I was shocked that people were actually stating that on live television without any awareness. It was amazing.

So we're going to get into that. We've got all of the latest to get into as well. We'll get you set up for the week. And we'll watch what happens with the shutdown as it goes towards the final Wednesday vote. Stick with us. So our skin changes in subtle ways over the years, especially after having kids.

The IOC has banned transgender women from all female Olympic events, according According to a new report, the IOC is setting to ban transgender women from competing in all female categories. The change is going to be announced early next year.

According to the Times report on Monday, the decision they said to overhaul the policy, they had a, I mean, I can't believe they had to have a sporting committee carry out a science-based review of the biological advantages of that men have. in women's sports. I don't get that at all. Why do you have to have this whole thing? Why do you have to have this whole thing with it? I don't understand that at all. So this IOC spokesperson, they'd said that they had not made a decision on it yet. And they said that the update was given by the IOC's director of health medicines. Why do you have to have this like whole thing for it? why do you why did you have to have this whole process i mean they they they're it's a dude it's a dude that's all there is to it why why do you why did they have to undergo or pretend to undergo this i'm reading how they put it this scientific presentation which laid out the

evidence i mean you could just look at what you know what the person has you know what i'm saying why is there this big thing i don't get it but it it was so they said that uh the update given by IOC's director of health medicine science and it was the last week of their I don't give a rat's ass about any of this stuff I'm I cannot believe that they had to do this whole thing I think they only did it so that they could make it look like they were making an effort to really understand the pseudoscience behind it that's what it that's what it seems like so that they could really understand the the pseudoscience of it all right that's what it and they said that the regular

the guidance that they had that they said that the women were able to compete in the men as women were able to compete in the female category but they had but they said that it was left up to individual sports apparently to make that determination

individual athletic disciplines to make the determination I don't know is it good it's good yeah but at the same time it also seems like it's entire that this is like all performative. They could have done this at any point. I mean, you don't have to have a scientific panel to make the determination that a man is going to have a benefit in women's

sports. You know what I'm saying? They do blood tests for drugs and stuff. XX and XY. I mean, that's literally what you can do. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I don't know. So this is, I mean, I'm happy that they've done it. There was a lot of discussion because one of the Olympics. They're coming up this summer, right? Yeah, the Olympics are coming up this summer. So, I mean, it's, I guess, good that they were able to get this squared away before then. But the, how many people have already been displaced, though? How many women have already been displaced by these policies?

That's the million dollar question. Because you have all of the different competitions that lead up to Olympic qualification. so are is that going to be considered is that going to have been fair Steve says it's February Milan that's not too far off to be honest February Milan so a lot of people probably gone through you know different qualifications and I'm just wondering what that looks like have they been just were they displaced how was that handled I don't know so we'll see but that's uh sorry i'm dealing with we're dealing with some equipment stuff here that we've got going

on uh we it's like legoed here sorry i'm like knocking stuff down on this desk all right if i don't touch it maybe it won't if i don't touch the keyboard it's okay if i touch the keyboard everything falls apart so there you go the next summer olympics are going to be held in los angeles in 2028. So the winter Olympics are going to be in Milan coming up in spring. But, and they don't know if the new guidance is going to be implemented during that time or not. We don't know. So I don't know. We'll, but that's big news. This goes into, this dovetails into the story that we had about the decline of transgenderism. This was over at skeptic. This was interesting. So they did the survey of 50,000 students a year per year from about 250 universities. And they were looking,

they broke everything down in all of these different subgroups, etc. And they looked at a foundation for individual rights and expression, which is doing a really great job, by the way. The fire folks, they also co-sponsored the two-a debate that I did last week. They, they, came up with unequivocal the conclusion of their data they said was unequivocal that the share of students identifying as transgender meaning other than male or female uh which that apparently peaked in 2023 and it's been uh halved in two years since and they said it's a stunning reversal uh of culture which I think it is. It's a, I mean, that's pretty amazing that it's halved already.

But they looked at 50,000 students. And what they discovered is that the percentage of students not identifying as male or female has dropped off dramatically. Like, it was at its lowest point for some reason, like in 2019, and then it skyrocketed. Absolutely skyrocketed. And they note them by different, by university in their study. but they said that it is on a rapid decline that's interesting do you and I'm wondering why that is they I mean they said well why is the trans curve bending downward is it because they're becoming more conservative and religious and that answer was no they said

They said that the student survey shows non-binary gender and genderqueer sexuality. They said that it has been dropping. They have not found any kind of shift to the political right and that there's no rise in the share affiliating with the religion and that they're no more supportive of free speech, et cetera. They're still woke. So what the hell? Then what's the, then what is it? Is it a non-conformity thing? know, I don't understand what this is. What do you think it is, Cain? Because they're like all of my

stuff, all of my thoughts. It's just, it's not correct. Sorry, I'm dealing with this thing. Yeah, no, no, no, I'm with you on it. I don't get it. And it breaks your brain to try and get it. Yeah. It's, it's all based in, you know, a mental illness that has just, you know, they've stretched to affirm. And here we are. Well, they are wondering whether it's a decline in mental health. It's, I do, I find it, I mean, the whole trans movement is in decline and I do find that interesting, but if it's, but I think that they need to have a better understanding as to why that is. I mean, I would think that it shouldn't have anything to do with, it's weird that it would be moored in a political ideology because you're thinking that this is scientific. You know, if you're, I mean, people know that a man is not a woman. A woman is not a man. It shouldn't have any bearing on political ideology to blur the lines of reality and science in order to accept that. That's what's so weird to me about this. I agree. But I also think, too, that there's been a lot of extremist behavior from that community over the last year or two.

It's only ramped up. And they've been targeting kids and the whole night. I think there's a lot of people that are like, all right, you know, we were all right with adults who wanted to do this. But now that you're actually morphing it over into some sort of doctrine that children want to adopt, they're starting to pull away from it. And they're like, look, we don't agree with that. Right. And so I think logic is, in common sense, is starting to take hold again. Well, maybe.

I hope that's the case. Yeah, maybe. So, very interesting, though, with this. So there is, I mean, there's some good things. I think there's like some, finally some wins here that are happening. That's, these are all good things. That's like, you know, that's a, that's a huge win, I think. But I also, I don't know.

I think the whole start of this has been weird. the whole and especially as it's been uh moored in you know a political identity i mean it shouldn't matter whether or not well i mean i guess you know it really shouldn't matter whether or not you know you're right or left when you're looking at science and science based fact but we have an ideology that accepts lie as gospel truth and so i don't know uh also let's see here because we have a couple of things to hit and apologies because I'm like deal my desk is like my stuff on my desk is falling apart we've um I wanted to go back because there's some things that I didn't get into so the um housing director this came and pulled this up this is from the hill

they confirmed that the administration is working on a 50 year mortgage what this is crazy the federal housing finance agency uh said that on Saturday the Trump administration is working on a direct plan to introduce a 50-year mortgage term for homebuyers. And I get that they're trying to, what they're saying is that they want to make it to where Gen Z or younger generations can actually like purchase a home. But I feel like this is just garbage. This is absolute nonsense to do something like this. The reason it's absolute nonsense is because if you're not talking about reducing

government spending, if you're not talking about reducing government spending, and you're not talking about cutting taxes and reducing spending, this is just neo-feudalism. A 50-year mortgage, might as well just make it how they did it back in the, you know, the days of your where you

can actually do like a hundred-year lease and you can tie it to your subsequent generations, you know? Just do it like that. If you're going to go that far, I mean, there's a reason you don't need to do this 50-year mortgage thing to make housing affordable. All that is is an excuse to allow government to continue making bad economic decisions. And then this is a band-aid on that problem.

It's time for Dana's Quick 5. So Italian pasta is poised to disappear from American grocery store shells. Some of it, they're saying, is due to the exorbitant cost. They said that the tariffs are amongst the steepest based by any product. The thing that is a bummer about this, and by the way, they said that the import and anti-dumping duties are a total 107% on pasta brands. A lot of this stuff, a lot of the Italian stuff, it's just a couple of ingredients. If you get USA-made stuff, it's garbage. They add so much nonsense in it. You look and there's like 25 different ingredients in it.

It's healthier to actually make your own at that point, which a lot of people don't have the time to do, which is why they buy it. So this is bad. It's bad all around. Also, let's see here, because we've got a couple of other things. DEI for owls. There are nearly half a million birds that are going to be killed across the West.

I know you guys saw all this stuff in Canada. They have a half a million owls expected to be shot now under a new wildlife protection plan. That sounds like an oxymoron. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are prepared to kill nearly a half a million barred owls throughout the Washington, Oregon, and California states after a short-lived effort to halt the coal was thwarted in the Senate last week. So they're looking like half a million of these owls across the west to protect another owl species, the northern spotted owl, which is listed as threatened under California's Endangered Species Act and its federal counterpart. They began managing these spotted owl populations since the 70s when the declines were attributed to habitat loss across federal lands because of timber harvesting. Or I could have them as pets. There's also that.

We could have them as a pet. I just don't like kill it. Did you see what they did with those birds up in? Yeah, up in Canada, almost said California. A grenade was found. Oh, no, don't give away grenades. Grenade was found amongst donations at Fort Pierce Goodwill, and they determined that it was real. WPTV, police say there's no active threat to the public.

The investigation is ongoing. They had this grenade that was apparently in the donated items, and a whole bomb squad had to show up. This was on Friday, Friday evening, and they said that they were able, they had the bomb disposal unit responded to the scene. They confirmed it was real. They safely removed it. They were trying to figure out how a real actual grenade. ended up in the donation bin. I mean, you know, you got a grenade in your pocket.

You know, you don't clear them out. You're getting rid of your, you know, it happens, I guess. I really don't know. I'm just, you know, thinking. Polk County in Texas, their emergency management ordered an evacuation around the Carter Lake Dam. This is, they said that an eight-inch hole, this is what they should have led with. And this is why Abigail Truman needs to go back to J-School. The lead is an eight-inch hole was found in the press.

privately owned dam Saturday morning, prompting authorities to call for residents south of the dam in Camden to evacuate. And they're trying to pump water out of the lake and into the spillway in order to prevent a bigger disaster. We've got a lot more on the way, including the latest education, Gaza and more. Stick with us. The folks who help bring us the program, it's the folks over at Superbeats.

little dash of not so serious on youtube apple or wherever you get your podcasts this is having massive impact i went and got my eyebrows done the other day and my eyebrow technician was like they're going to fire two technicians from here because all of our clients don't have money to come she's not on snap that's it or put a hand over my mouth right now i cannot even believe that was someone on CNN talking about how she they had her eyebrow plays they had to let two people go because people couldn't afford it because of snap well then if you can afford to go get your eyebrows done you shouldn't be getting snap I mean for crying out loud I just have some priorities I don't go get my eyebrows done not you don't have to do that that's like a luxury if you want to do that I don't go do that

you got a way out that's that's part of being a grown adult figuring out what you want to pay money for what you need to pay for and what you what is a need and what is a want that's embarrassing for a grown woman to be on television lamenting snap during the government shutdown and using as an example her eyebrow tech saying that they had to let some people go because snap so bad they can't that people can't come in and oh my gosh welcome back to the program Dana Lash with you. The chats at Rumble. You can stream Channel 347 DirecTV.

I think that's, there's a major disconnect, I think, with some people over all this stuff. You know, talking about the SNAP benefits and how you have 11% of the American population that's on food stamps. And we had a story. Was it last week that we played the audio of the woman who was on food stamps for 30 years? For 30 years. That's three decades. 30, 30 years. Now,

for context, I don't even like the program. I think it's big government nonsense. I am very much opposed to all of it. I think that if we weren't taxed to death that people individually, private citizens, as has in keeping with the historical

tradition of mankind, would fill, would actually have more capital with which to fill the need than letting the government do a mediocre at best job at it. But that said, that's not our current structure. But the, there are people who have used it temporarily. You know, they've been on it for a couple of weeks or a month and then they're off it. And they don't milk it. It's not looked at as some sort of guaranteed stream of income for them. And when I hear this woman talk about it, she said this on CNN. Like you're talking to pundits and she says this on CNN.

Well, my eyebrow tech says, I just can't even believe that this is what's passing a serious political discourse today. But here we are. We live in an era of stupidity. It is really amazing that that that was. is the excuse. Well, we've got to stop this now because they're letting eyebrow techs go. Well, also, we live, I mean, these are hard times economically. People are complaining about the cost of beef. And yes, one of the things that Republicans cannot do is try to gaslight people out of the cost of stuff. And it is not bad to acknowledge that. You're not forfeiting

anything by acknowledging that. You're not saying that it's Trump's fault by acknowledging it either. I mean, he's not even been in office for a year. How fast did people think that this turnaround was going to happen? For crying out loud, we had four years. But you can't gaslight people out of it either. And that's one thing I think Republicans are going to have to be very careful about, especially as this last election was absolutely an economic one. And they better get the messaging right because midterms is just, I mean,

it's coming up. And now what? a year. So they better get the messaging right on this. My eyebrow text says, man, I tell you what, you got to learn, cause and effect and adulting lady. Something that you're absolutely going to have to learn. This gets into this whole issue where we were talking about last segment. And again, apologies for all the, I had literally equipment that was falling off and we were pushing through. But this promoting this 50-year mortgage. I mean, do you know how long are you going to pay like pure interest

for a 50-year mortgage? I want the next generation. I want younger generations. Do you be able to afford homes? But I feel like this proposal, even if it's meant as a short-term solution, is a dodge. It's a dodge because you're not changing the economic structure. You're not changing the way that we propose and implement policy. You're not even changing policy. It's just a band-aid. We're not reducing government spending really at all. We need to have more of the deregulation like we had.

When Trump walked, when he came into his first term in 2016, I think he has a way better team around him this time around. Granted, that's not even up for debate. But when he came into the White House in 2016, one of the things that he did was just cut and slash, and deregulated, and then I think it kind of just started to taper off, and they need to go back to that in addition to stopping spending. But, you know, you're not going to be able to stop spending with the Republicans that we have in Congress because this last CR that we passed was literally just an

extension of existing Democrat spending. And they barely got that passed. So having a 50-year mortgage, I mean, this is just like, it's just feudalism. You will never actually own anything and you'll be happy. Isn't that what Carol Roth says? You'll own nothing and be happy. That's literally her book title. I mean, if you have a 15-year mortgage, you know that you're going to eventually own the home,

well, except for property taxes. You never really own your own property. But you'll actually be able to, you know, asterisk, own the home. which you reside, right? And then if you have a 50-year mortgage, you're not really owning your home that's feudalism. It's neo-feudalism. And that's how it treats it, that it's just, you know, I mean, it's great if you're a physical bank. That's, you know, if you're a bank, that's good for you. But aside from that, no. And I don't want people to think that this is a good idea as a replacement for better economic policy and a reduction in spending and a cut in taxes.

And that's what makes me nervous because people, I feel, are overlooking that because they want the short term. They want to be able to have that paper that have that title. But is it yours, though, with a 50-year mortgage? I mean, there's no way in hell I would ever take out a 50-year mortgage. I mean, I think that goes wrong the other way. I don't know. I get really, I'm really nervous about this because I feel and can't I think that I see I know you know where I'm coming from it feels as though it is an absolute dodge and I just you're setting people up this is just to me setting people up to be happy with never owning anything I think it's less of a dodge and more of a poor choice it's just like with lowered interest rates that we saw in the threes for mortgages what it did

was it made the monthly out go more affordable and therefore it made these homes become more valuable. So when you have these big companies like BlackRock and other investment firms that come in and take advantage of those low interest rates and essentially will pay cash more than the actual value because they own other homes in the area, they're falsely raising the price of homes, therefore pricing people out of homes. And so the choice that this administration seems to be making is that in order to get that monthly outgo to come down, you extend the length of the mortgage so that your monthly payment

is lower. That isn't necessarily a dodge, but it seems like a poor choice when there are some basics that tie in to what these mortgage rates are and where these values at homes should be. It's just, and it's not going to make, it's not going to meant a whole bunch of new homeowners overnight either. No. There are a lot of people that still have their three percent mortgages. It's keeping them from buying. It's keeping them from selling because right now we're in the six is now so it's double what it used to be so anybody that's sitting on a mortgage that's between three and four percent they're not going to do any moves right now they're not going to refinance they're not going to sell their home because they know

they're going to have to buy another one and pay six or something percent so it's a stagnant market and i was looking at so if somebody gets a 30-year mortgage i was looking at how many actually hold that mortgage to full term uh and it was saying that the average payoff or refinance occurs within 8 to 10 years. Now, it's usually due to selling or dropping rates, but that the home ownership tenure averages 10 to 13 years, and that's from Freddie Mack. So you could have a 50-year mortgage, and that might suit you for cash flow, but at the same time, that's not true ownership. Right. And the hope is, and the way that the mortgage sellers would sell these homeowners on, is that, oh, you know, you'll enjoy this low payment now.

And then when your home increases in value, you can later than refinance into a much, you know, like a 30-year mortgage instead or maybe a 20-year mortgage. So, and then you can afford that payment because now you're, you have equity. And therefore, now that you're borrowing less than 80% of the value, you're going to see a lower rate. Again, like I said, it's not necessarily a Dodge, but it is a poor choice. Yeah. I mean, I will say that no one's telling you, you have to be a lower rate. to hold it for the entire 50 years. But at the same time, I just think that this, I don't know.

Have you seen any amortization schedules? Because it's typically the first seven to 10 years that you're paying mostly interest on your payment. Your payment, most of it goes to interest. Yeah. It's a problem. But we do, we have to figure out a way. And it's not going to be, the problem with this is that there's so many things that go into creating this current situation. and also affecting outcome, it's not going to be something as simple as just changing mortgage rates. It's not even going to be as simple

as just singularly, you know, reducing interest rates. You also, again, it goes back to government spending. It goes back to taxation. But it also goes back to a societal structure that has made it to where you cannot be a family where only one parent works anymore. That's just, I mean, our economic structure, not just in the United States,

but elsewhere in the world, just doesn't support that. And it's, I'm not saying that I agree with it at all. Obviously, I don't. But just something like this, it might look good initially as, you know, on paper, but it's not helping with true ownership in long term. It's not fixing the problem. All it does is give politicians a chance to say, oh, well, look, we're doing something about the housing issue. By the way, here's more entitlement spending. I mean, that's literally what we're looking at with. And we're going to be fighting over entitlement spending again in three months with the CR. This is all going to be coming. into fruition right after the holidays. We're going to be back here arguing over government opening and shut down and all that stuff all over again. So it's like we're in this. One of the reasons why we all get so aggravated over it is because it's like we're, it's Groundhog Day every three months with us, literally. When was the last time we were back here arguing about all of this stuff? I mean, this was three months ago. In July. Yeah. I mean, yeah. That's a real

issue. We have Florida man on the way. And also we're going to get into a whole bunch of other stuff because we've got the latest on the woke rike but also the left as well democrats civil war and in paris a group of like agitator stormed in to the symphony to attack the israeli philharmonic in paris it's amos squared everybody remembers you guys remember like 2020 and then when covid hit the panic buying like nobody could get you couldn't get a 9 millimeter you can get anything empty shelves.

It's his life mission to make bad decisions. it's time for florida man i'm trying really hard to understand the story so let me just share the headline drunk florida man gets kicked out of dollar tree after rudely demanding staff triple bag his candles so this uh poor teenage girl who was the cashier some a customer who was there recorded the incident and it was a major scene inside the dollar tree store so what happened a man

walked in drunk and he was trying to buy some candles and the cashier on duty was a teenage girl and he was you know as he was i guess trying to check out he was very belligerent already without any need to be she was ringing up his stuff and he demanded that she wrap each candle in three separate bags and when she offered to use two bags instead he was not happy about it he got in her face and was screaming at her pointing his finger and then the customer who had been filming stepped in and then that man turned around and snapped at him and then it escalated from there and he was screaming at the customer recording him if i if i want five redacted bags then what redacted businesses of yours shut your redacted mouth and uh clearly he was drunk the manager

tried to de-escalate and the customer you know the guy was recording didn't stop recording and I mean this guy was losing his mind he was yelling at the manager yelling at everybody else

so they ended up having to call the cops and now he's apparently I think he's banned from that dollar tree he can't go you're mad over candles like first off that's the gayest thing I've ever heard

that's super G-H-E-Y gay to be that mad over having your candles wrapped up at a dollar tree. Just stop. This is why aliens don't visit us, all these people. He wanted extra bags for his bathroom trash camp. Oh my gosh. It's insane. This, the Florida man was arrested because his ceiling hideout and a Florida home didn't work so well. He fell through the roof or felt through the ceiling right into the SWAT team. Literally. So they had an hours long standoff. This was in Vero Beach, Florida. The guys facing grand theft auto and resisting and he 37 year old keith rogers he was trying to hide from swat after this hours long standoff and uh he got into the ceiling but the ceiling didn't hold

and it was caught on their shoulder their their body camera footage that it showed him falling through the ceiling right literally at swat team the swat team's feet like in their arms yeah like key like they practically caught the guy uh they quickly surrounded him and arrested him he is being held on 25 000 bond you would think i mean wouldn't you know that the drywall of the ceiling is not going to hold you you would think that you would know that uh and then good samaritans rescue a 74 year old florida man from his burning Porsche oh clear water 74 year old man was pulled from his burning cart was a dramatic rescue uh the uh folks came and they pulled him out dragged him to safety. He was taken to the hospital for treatment. Nobody knows how it got to that point,

Why is he starting first with the commercial planes that we all use to go visit our families or get where we need to for work. Every day, thousands of private jets take off, carrying CEOs, billionaires, and the 1%. And they take up the work of the air traffic control system, too. Wouldn't it make more sense to cancel the planes that carry the fewest passengers first?

It's just another example of who Donald Trump really cares about. And it isn't us. This is like one of the dumbest things I've heard ever. That's Katie Porter, the woman who gets mad over like the littlest things. during an interview. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you at D. Lash on X and chats at Rumble, Channel 347

DirecTV. So this was Sean Duffy, who is the head of transportation. He actually is doing stuff. You see him out here. You see him out doing stuff. This was his response to this. This is cut tin. This is so dumb, listen. Katie Porter's a hack. That's not what

happened. In the order we reduced general aviation or jet travel by 10%. But what we've also done is that, you know, If we have a staffing trigger, I think Nate was at LaGuardia, or in Newark, we have one in Newark this morning, if we have a staffing trigger, there's going to be no jets flying into Newark. We're going to, we prioritize commercial aircraft. Now, if there's a space to fly in with general aviation or a jet, we'll allow them in. But the priority is the traveling public.

And so that's been the order. That's been how this has been implemented. So it's nice political theater, but that's not what we're doing. So everything that she just accused Trump of doing, he wasn't doing? Okay. That's, you know, par for the course. In the meantime, cut 11, this pilot, the Southwest pilot, went off on the shutdown. Listen.

I don't really care what your political persuasion is, but you should really call your senator. Because I'll tell you, this is costing the airlines millions of dollars. And just think of 30 airplanes with one engine running, and it's going to take us at least 90 minutes to take off. So it's frustrating. It's really frustrating for me. Because right now it's going to cost about two hours of our lives on the ground before we even take off, spend all that gas, all that money, and it just rolls into the rest of this system. So right now we're at a 4% reduction in flight capacity. next week we go to 10

last night I had a six hour delay in Houston and the weather was perfect just because the airtropic controllers aren't getting paid so it's the weekend well and he's right and he's right and so now as it relates to the shutdown

Mike Johnson gave that 36 hour warning he called House members back to D.C. as the Senate approved that bill so now the House has to vote on it. The Senate has one final, I think their final thing. The house will next take it up. So they get, so usually what happens is if during the shutdown house members have not been in D.C. So they have 36 hours. So they get a warning. So that gives them enough time to, you know, hopefully, you know, book a flight and get out

there. And so they come back. They're going to look at the short-term funding bill. You know, we're going to be dealing with this again. Sorry, in January. We're going to be back here fighting another shutdown. So of all the things that were included in this, the deal, the government's being funded through January 30th, 2026. So in January, we're going to be back here. The vote is scheduled. So I think this was a concession on the half of Republicans, on the part of Republicans. The vote is scheduled on the ACA tax credits in December. So they're going to be voting on this in December. And then federal agencies can't block any workers until January 30th. And then all of the snap and then the WIC stuff, all of that is going to be funded through September of

next year, so all the way up until fall of next year. So that is, uh, so we're going to be right down, right, right in January, right as we're getting it's, um, I don't, and I don't think Republicans caved. I think that was a concession that they gave. Um, I think that Democrats, they remember what they were wanting. They were wanting $1.5 trillion in expansion. And they did not want to take, they, they weren't going to vote yes on that bill unless they got it. So, Allowing for a vote to happen on the Obamacare tax credits in December isn't necessarily giving them, you know, I mean, what is it? Like a, it's just what, a seven week, not even a six week, really, six week, not even that extension on that? I don't know. Do you look at it? I think that was a concession that Republicans gave, but I think ultimately, if you had to say who caved, who would you say caved, Cain?

Because that's all that matters, right? No, this is definitely Democrats cave me. And what's obviously. to me is that this whole time they've been blaming Republicans for the shutdown, yet somehow magical Democrats open the government with their votes. So now they're the ones they're blaming for opening the government. So how is it that it wasn't the Democrat shutdown this entire time? It makes no sense to me. Million dollar question. I just don't get it. The million dollar question. No, I agree. I don't. I don't either. So that's, they're going to reconvene. And he says that they have, Johnson says that they have the votes in the House to pass the Senate bill. So that's, they said that that's not a thing. So, so it's not done until the House votes on it. And I think they're looking, so they gave the 36. So it looks like Wednesday is going to be the vote. They're going to allow today and tomorrow for everybody to get back to D.C. So Wednesday will be the vote. And we'll, and then it'll go from that. Then we're going to be again back in January. We're all going to be here. Yay. We're all going to be right back. And then.

the same spot. I know you guys are super excited about that. I know that, look, the ACA, which wasn't affordable in any way, shape, or form, it's just the subsidies that are expiring. It shouldn't need subsidies if it was a successful program. So there's going to be reform. And it's not going to happen the way the Democrats wanted. The Democrats wanted it to be subsidized for another year. And I don't think the Republicans are going to do it. And at this point, I think Democrats know that's probably not what they're going to get. So they're going to stonewall the reform, and we're going to, like you said, we're going to see this fight again in January.

So what gets me in terms of why it went this far? So just think about it. So you had eight Democrats that agreed to reopen the federal government, and they're continuing the current levels of funding. They're going through January, so we're going to be back at this fight in January. And they needed a promise from John Thune. in the Senate, to hold a vote the second week of December on extending the premium subsidies. That's that legislation.

And then I think what they were, they're looking at reversing the 4,000 federal layoffs, which better not. I don't, let's not say we did. Now, Johnson has not committed. Now, here's what's, here's the caveat. out. So in the Senate, they extracted that promise from Thune. That's why I said that was a Republican concession, but I don't think Republicans cave because they didn't get the $1.5 trillion. Johnson, however, has not committed to holding that vote on extending the subsidies in December.

Yeah, who? Go ahead and ask that question, Kane. You're so excited. Who holds the purse again? It's the house. It's the house that does. Yeah. So they haven't, they haven't, he has not committed to that. Oh. And that's it. That's it. Now, it doesn't seem stupid that it took that long? Yes. To get that finalized. Yes. That's why I think reform is what's going to be pushed. Like if there is a proposal for reform, which by the way, you could just eliminate the ACA. And that would be the biggest move to. reform right there. Allow the free market to do its thing. More competition brings prices down. ACA should just be scrapped. Now, can people see why we did not want to blow up the filibuster to pass this thing that we're going to be back here in January arguing over again? Thank you. You never use your nuclear option. You don't, you never do that.

You never, look, I am not against being persuaded for something massive, but for something that we literally have to come back in January and debate again, hell to the no. So now you see why some of us did not want to get rid of the filibuster. You realize all this, we would have had a packed Supreme Court if we had gotten rid of the filibuster. If we, and Democrats were baiting us into doing it so bad. They were baiting us into doing it. So it's smart that we didn't. It's very good that we didn't. So that's, that is the, now, sure, you can say, and I'm not, I'm done talking about this. You could say, oh, well, you know, the shutdown, that really made it, uh, hard for Republicans. You could say that it was a factor, but when you look at some of the, I mean, like, look,

and Winston Royal Sears and Abigail Spanberger, she was trailing Spamberger the entire election. You know, that was never going to happen. Um, do you think that, the reason that Cheryl had the, like, plus 14 over Kitterrelli, that that was because of the shutdown. It wasn't because of the shutdown. That's just the way. I mean, it's for Jersey. So I think people have got to stop extrapolating that. That's like, to me, that's goofy to say that the shutdown had nothing to do with that.

Those were two candidates that were, that were trailing the Democrat opponent for the entirety of the election. Now, that's not to say that they shouldn't have run. Republican should always run a candidate and fight when they get the chance, but to sit here and act like the reason that they lost was because of the shutdown was one of the stupidest things I've ever seen in my life. Stop saying that. That's dumb. That's so stupid. Oh my gosh. That's so that's bad. All right. So I got that out of my system. So we're going to be back. Well, save it because we're going to be back here in January, guys. Yay. So save all you, just take your little arguments for that and just fold them up. Pack them away. But don't put them away away because you got to get them out.

after Christmas, right after you get the tree put up and all that. Then we've got to argue about this again. So I know you're going to be really happy about that. And we're going to get you set up for the week. As we do so, our partners that help bring you the program, it's the folks over at Burn a Gun.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. So the administration had an announcement earlier today. The FDA is liberating women's hormone replacement therapy.

And they had a very interesting press conference about that. They said they're going to get rid of some of the warning stuff, the black box stuff. I mean, it's going to be very, I think it's, it's. good for, and I'm glad that they announced it in such a way because it's always so taboo to discuss, right? Like older women that are going through men, it's always so taboo for them to discuss. And younger women, you know, that are not there yet, but we all will be one day. We would like to have a little bit more open conversation about it. It would be great. And it's good that they're like getting rid of some of the regulations surrounding this. So that was a very

good announcement from the admin this morning. Let's see, the Australian state is weighing a rule change to allow dingoes to be pets. Now, some of us who grew up in the early, late 80s, early 90s, what was that movie? The tingo ate my baby, Kane. What was that movie? I forget the movie. The tingo ate my baby. Cry in the dark, I think.

Wasn't it Meryl Streep that was in it? That sounds right. I know my mom has watched it at least twice, but it was apparently about a true story about a dingo who ate a baby out in Australia in the Outback. So, I don't know. So now they're weighing. in Queensland, they're thinking of changing the classification that would allow

them to be kept as household pets. Because they're like dogs, but they're also not. They're wild. They're, I mean, they're basically dogs, but they're wild dogs. So they said that they are reviewing Queensland's biosecurity laws ahead of these amendments that they're going to make some of these changes they're going to make in spring.

Oh boy, somebody slipped and fell off the edge of a cliff in the Grand Canyon. Then the recovery effort occurred on the west rim. A 65-year-old slip. and was killed. He fell more than a hundred feet, said authorities in Arizona.

It happened at Guano Point on the canyon's western rim, and it was a Mojave County Sheriff's Office. They had to respond to a technical recovery Thursday afternoon. The main was 130 feet down on a pile of rock fragments, and they had to use ropes to bring him up.

That's horrible. His name wasn't released. But people got to be super careful there, because you can get right to the edge and fall off in it, so don't. That's terrifying. Wasn't there a story of someone who fell when they were trying to take a selfie? That happens like at least once a year. It's terrifying. Japan's police are amending rules to allow officers to use rifles against bears because the bear problem is getting kind of serious over there.

This is something in Tokyo, their National Police Agency amended rules. They're going to allow officers to use rifles to call bears because there have been a surge in bear attacks. on people in Japan. Now the amendment that's going to take place on November 3rd or going to be in effect on November 13th. Up until now, they haven't actually been able to use that. They've only been able to use rifles very restrictive, like hijacking incidents or like terrorism or something like that. But they're in certain prefectures, the number of bear attacks have been increasing dramatically. And so now they have to, they're undergoing joint training. They're working with local hunting associations because the bear population has grown and now it's kind of destabilizing the ecosystem

there. So they're going to have to actively do something about it. So good for them. Also, let's see, oh man, a man cheated death because somebody lit a cigarette and threw a match on the Florida gas station. Who does this? Who does something like that? Everybody knows that. You don't smoke at a gas station and you definitely don't throw like a cigarette butt or a man. match down at a gas station. The CCTV footage in a Brazilian state of Maronhoe, they caught this dramatic

moment where a huge like fireball, I mean it blew up flames surged into the air because the guy dropped a match that he had used and him and his friends had a run for their lives. Shockingly nobody was injured because

it was a blaze. Nobody was injured. Huge explosion And I mean, it's terrifying. You've got to be careful with that stuff. We have Stephen Yates who's going to be joining us.

So we were watching very closely as POTUS traveled to South Korea. And then, of course, he met and was speaking with Xi Jinping. And we were all like anticipating what kind of, what kind of deal are they going, are they going to strike a deal? Is there going to be some sort of de-escalation and tension? Like, what are we going to get from this? And it seems as though there were some concessions or there were a couple of things that were achieved. But it also seems that, you know, at least for the next year, things might. not go on change for the most part for some clarity on this because he was there traveling everyone

knows our friend stephen yates at yates comms on x he has served with not one but two presidential administrations he's a foreign policy expert and the senior research fellow at the heritage foundation as well he joins us now because he's been i thought that my travel was rough last week nobody knows rough travel more than stephen yates he ought to be like the poster the poster man for talking about the airline travel, especially during a shutdown. Stephen, good to see you. Glad you got back to the stage safely. Thank you so much, Dana. It is good to be back. Well, tell us what you're, you know, what did you see and what did you walk away with after, you know,

POTUS was meeting, obviously, with the new Japanese leadership, South Korea, but then, of course, Xi Jinping as well, because there was a lot of discussion as to where they're going to come out on agreements as it relates to rare earths and, you know, the South. I'll see. And, I mean, did we walk away with a big trophy? Well, Dana, what I saw was a lot of work that had been done by the president and his team. I would dare say more than any presidential team I've ever witnessed in my lifetime, frankly, in terms of touching the necessary bases among allies and going to different multilateral meetings. I mean, the president himself went down to the Southeast Asian summit called ASEAN,

That is not one where a president always goes, but often tries. The president also did, as you say, visit with allies in Japan and Korea. This is all before meeting with the leader of China. We'll call him Chairman Xi or Winnie the Pooh, whatever he prefers. But all that spade work, I traveled with the Secretary of War, Pete Heggseth, and overlapped with the president, but also went to several these places after the president's visit, there are very meaningful agreements made, mostly in security cooperation and making sure that there's co-manufacturing for key platforms, acquisition of independent

capabilities for allies. These are things that were campaigned on that a lot of experts said, oh, this can't happen, or it's anti-ally, and yet it was happening. And I think that that combined with China overplaying its hand on the rare earth's leverage really set the stage for Xi Jinping having to try to tamp down the temperature at the meeting he had with President Trump. And I think that's what we saw. There were some agreements. I think you appropriately framed them as maybe buying time. I don't think anything strategically has changed, but we may have bought time to get ourselves out of the over-dependence on rare earths. And that's incredibly significant. One of the things I was reading about as well is that,

so in the Pacific, the United States and Japan are developing a partnership to go in mind rare earths near an island as a way to kind of push back against sort of the dependence on these critical materials from China. And Japan is going to be doing deep sea extraction tests in January. If Japan's able to do this, does that, and I don't know, maybe I'm putting a lot of emphasis on how much they're able to extract and the importance of this island. But I mean, is that a blow to the Chinese monopoly on rare earths that they're able to actually successfully extract from this island? It's a start. It's an important start. And there's a lot more that we all needed to go in terms of the true responsible stakeholders in the international community. I mean, people talk

about China's economy, its market, it's processing. It does have a stranglehold on processing. We have to fix that. That's part of our pathology of worshipping the issue of climate change. We somehow decided that it was really dirty to process these rare earths so we gave it to the most polluting nation on the planet to do it for us. Somehow, someone's maths suggested that was better. It was stupid on environmentalism and it was worse strategically, economically, and otherwise. But there we are. But Japan, Korea, Taiwan, several others, including people in Europe, if they're getting past their wokeism, would look at, hey, why don't we together finance extraction and processing in Argentina instead of China getting those five lithium mines? Why don't we make our

hemisphere, safer and productive, and have that supply chain running on things that help the economy go instead of having migrant flows. And so this is the logic that I think the president has unleashed with this with a new leader in Japan. And boy, do we have a different new leader in Japan. We now have a real partner to do something big. How much, and we're talking with our friend Stephen Yates, the new leadership in Japan, the new prime minister. I mean, and I love the fact that she's a woman, but not because she's a woman. It's like she's just the most qualified candidate who won. She's just the most qualified.

And that's what I love about this. How much is set to change now with her as the new prime minister? Well, Dana, I mean, to me, the most strategically significant part of it is she's a heavy metal drummer. So she's not cut from the same as everyone else. And so I think, you know, what she is doing, I mean, she just issued a statement that said that if China uses military force to keep a blockade on Taiwan, that that would provoke collective self-defense clauses under Japan's constitution. That was something that even Shenzhou Abe was bashful about saying out loud. She's not doing it because she's a heavy metal drummer because she's the Iron Lady of the Indo-Pacific, which I think she might be. She's saying it because it's true, and it's important for the government of Japan to begin telling the truth about these things and maybe even wake up some sleepy academics and other capitals to stop using the Chinese talking points and realize that it's with these allies being clear. We will actually have deterrence and we won't have to fight the wars that people keep saying are going to be inevitable in a couple years. And I love, there was a Chinese diplomat that literally threatened to behead her over that comment.

actually he said this on x and then he had to delete his post on x after i'm a little salty about that because yes tell me about my wife was deplatformed from twitter because she just reposted that odious formerly funny comedian and the fake severed head of donald trump back when censorship was in high church so she was like kicked completely off of twitter for a long period of time for that this Chinese diplomat and frankly that whole mission in Japan ought to be kicked off the platform if poor Michelle was worthy of getting kicked off of Twitter at the time. Wow. I mean they and Tokyo responded obviously and I mean that's pretty they rebuke the Chinese diplomat and this was all over time. That seems like that was a real obvious error. Do you think that there was any

pushback on that Chinese diplomat from Beijing? Well I think it's just like the old school rules, you get caught, you get in trouble, you don't get caught, and they clap behind the scenes. I think they like the edginess. They let their wolf warriors go out there and show their fangs and bark and threaten and bully. And then when it goes too far, they will sacrifice said warrior and move on because they have an ample supply of people. They don't value individuals. They don't value even high-ranking military generals. At any given day, sort of just like a mafia, it could be your last day. You better check up there's plastic on the floor. when you go into the meeting.

And that's basically what it is for these wolf warriors and the PLA generals. Wow. This is going to be very interesting to watch because if it's already at that spicy level, and she just literally got to like, if it's already at that level, I mean, who knows where this is going to go? Because I love what you said. She's like the Iron

Lady of the Indo-Pacific. And that's, I mean, it seems like she's not going to flinch. And what a great ally that is for the United States and how much that changes things for Taiwan. Of course, this leads to this, I don't know, I guess you can call it. It seems like it's a kind of a naval race between us and China. They just had a new aircraft carrier enter the fleet.

Are we keeping up with them? Is that one of the things that was sort of explored during this trip? Well, we're not doing enough. I think that the administration is trying to put the gas pedal down. And what Secretary Hegseth announced about trying to really completely reform, revitalize, and maybe detoxify the manufacturing processes that have. allowed the Pentagon to get to where we are, where everything comes too late at too great an expense. And then we jawbone people about spending more on their own defense, but we aren't able to

manufacture and provide things on time for them. That has to get solved. Some of it is applying technology. Some of it's using newer platforms instead of thinking that an aircraft carrier battle group is the solution to every problem. So I think that the secretary is on the right track, but he has a huge mountain to try to move in getting that right. I support the push. I support the vision. But really, we all need to back that up and make sure that the Cardinals in charge of appropriations on the hill don't get in the way of this. Yeah. Last, this is kind of a goofy story. It's not, I mean, it's not really goofy. It's kind of crazy. This story that I was looking at, I think this is one of the ones that you were

watching about how, where and I got to find this? It was a story of there was apparently next, okay, here it is, Daily Caller, U.S. nuclear bomber fleet shares a fence with a trailster. So a guy who literally works with the CCP, the Communist Chinese Party, owns this trailer park which shares a fence with Whiteman Air Force Base. What in the world? Yeah, it kind of puts a new definition of trailer park. trash out there. And I think that it's the least vetting we ought to be able to do to make sure that

the perimeter of our most sensitive sites are not compromised by questionable people and questionable property acquisitions. So this is just another one of those wake-up calls. We've just got to get serious. We're not talking about vetting every single person that comes into the country, although that wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to know who's coming into our country, but who has property to tell when the B-2s take off. I mean, I don't know at what point they acquire stealth capability, but I'm thinking the rather slower motion of takeoff, it's easier to spot them.

And this is in Missouri. Kane, this is in Missouri on top of it. So, I mean, I didn't even know, this is like, for those who don't know, it's near towards Kansas City. It's like, you know, western, northwest central. But, I mean, there's that's CCP on land in our home state of Missouri. literally right next to. And the way that I understand it, this is, you know, it's, it's, it is one of the, um, the world's only nuclear capable stealth bomber. This is no, no, it's

Ackham's razor. This is suspicious. This guy's trying to steal secrets. What, what can we do about this? This is, this is horrifying. Well, I mean, we have to vet and, uh, can we just like, can we roll up outside of the fence and they've already committed some kind of a defense? They have a record. They have something that identifies them. And so it's one thing, if you have some well-meeting person who's just trying to make an extra buck and has come over here, but if you find out that in the course of some cursory investigation, because it's a higher priority when you get closer to sensitive sites, that there's questionable people. You should question everyone from the People's Republic of China that enters into that zone. But if you especially have people who've committed

crimes or have some kind of rap sheet, then, you know, this is just on us completely, not doing sensible, easy things that even at the state level they should be able to do. Maybe they can ask Steve Bannon about it because apparently he's a friend of the guy who owns it. So I don't know, maybe the White House can go and ask Steve about his little CCP friends. We'll see. I don't know. Mr. Stephen Yates, always a pleasure to have you on, my friend. Good to see you.

And I'm so glad that you got back safely. Thank you so much. Thank you very much, Janet. Take good care. You too. Partners that help bring you the program. It's the folks over at KELTEC, and they've been working to develop a program. It's called the Peacekeepers Program.

It supports those who protect our communities, military law enforcement, church security teams, school resource officers, faith-based teams and SROs typically rely on pistols, you know, has limited range. There's only so much you can do with a pistol. Keltuk long guns solve that problem. And especially, depending on what you get, they fold compact for discrete carry, and they can deploy in seconds with full rifle. capability. Now, the peacekeeper participants, they also get mission ready support, so you get extra platform testing, you get armor or training, you get direct peacekeeper pricing for budget conscious organizations as well, so you don't have to pay a full price on that. They've got great deals. The program's active. They've equipped over a dozen, a couple dozen churches already

through the faith-based security network and every Brevard County school also. Sweetwater County, they've added R50 defenders. Some others have added KSGs and sub 2Ks. Those are the ones that fold in half. Caltech works with the faith-based security network, so everybody gets access to the peer training, mission ready tools, all of it.

So I don't know if you guys saw the video that came out. This is from Paris over the weekend. A bunch of pro-Hamas protesters decided to storm the Paris Philharmonic because the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra was giving a concert, and they brought in red flares, they lit them off, they began attacking members of the audience, and destroying the chairs and everything else. They were finally kicked out

by security. And, I mean, they literally were punching people in the audience. And then the people in the orchestra, the Israel Philharmonic, who was playing there at the Paris Philharmonic, they had to stand and finish the show because the chairs had been damaged. Huh, there's not a, I don't like to say the word Palestine because it's a, it's a colonial name for a bunch of Jordanians who decided to hijack a strip of land there and pretend that somehow thousands of years of Islamic or any other type of antiquity supports that, which it doesn't. So I just, you know, it's just either Ghazan or pro Hamas because I don't like to use fake colonizing terms. And that's exactly what it is. But yeah, there isn't a gaza and Philharmonica, is there?

Why is that? Oh, because of Hamas, which has democratically elected and oversees the area and still enjoys extreme popularity to this very day. I'm just surprised that people in the audience didn't beat the ass of the people that were doing that. If I'm in the Philharmona, if I'm going to a concert and you come and disrupt, I will literally beat your head off your neck. Not kidding. I'm I will, I mean, it will, you will walk away. Well, you may not walk away. I can't believe that people just didn't turn on them. Did you see some of the video that they showed?

Like, people were getting punched repeatedly in the head, and they were just trying to get away. Like, they were hitting women. They were going in there and punching women. There's video of women being punched by these people going on there. Oh, my gosh. I can't even, man, ladies, that's what your heels are for. That's a weapon.

You know, you just take that heel off and flak, that's it. All right. Today's stupidity king. All right, the former Prime Minister of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern. That's how she says it, too. And Juan, this is cut 29. How long have we been hearing about this climate catastrophe we're expecting? Listen to her.

She got everything wrong, by the way, in New Zealand with COVID. But listen to this. Immediately within the next five years, someone said that without significant change, you run the risk of losing huge parts of our ecosystem. wildfires, tropical cyclones that will take many people's lives and a planet that's so warm that people will die from heat.

In five years. If that presented itself with a media sea. It's going to happen in five years. And ever since the mid-1900s, they've been telling us like every 10 years. Every time, it's by the way, it falls on an election cycle every time. Every single time. Which is weird. I would like, it's cold in Texas today. I would love some global warming right now. It's cold. I had to turn my furnace on this morning. Folks, that does it for us today. I hope you have a great rest of your evening. We will be back with you tomorrow.
