So Don Lemon was arrested. I don't know if you all saw this, but it happened. Federal agents arrested Don Lemon today and three other people on charges that they violated federal law during a protest at that church in St. Paul, Minnesota. Now, it's interesting because they are looking, it's a case essentially that's been revived after it was rejected by a magistrate, a judge who declined. to proceed. And now he's been arrested, a second journalist, and two protesters. And we're going to see how that, I mean, under the statute, the way it is, the Department of Justice has to prove that Don Lemon entered the church service with intent to disrupt or interfere. And I think it's, guys, I think it's pretty easy to say that that was the intent.

Don't we all agree? I mean, he's literally on video talking about it. And the statute, he's being charged with 18 U.S.C. 241, which is listed as the conspiracy to deprive rights. Additionally, with 18 U.S.C. 248, which is violation of the FACE Act, ironically, the KKK Act, interfering by force of someone's First Amendment right. The Attorney General Pan Bondi tweeted about this today, Don Lemon, to Hearn Cruz, Georgia Fort, and Jamil Lundy in connection with this church. And so I've seen already people like Jim Acosta go out and say, oh my gosh, you can't, you know, you're violating his free speech. He was violating the church congregants free speech by attacking them.

And I think it's completely justifiable, honestly, when you look at the video and then when you hear all of the other stuff that is even worse than some of the things that you've seen in the video, how the adults were getting, these adult rioters were getting in the face of kids and saying, do you know your parents are Nazis? Do you know you go to a Nazi church? I mean, that came, I mean, that came out during the investigation because the other, one of the protesters was telling the investigators verbatim what they were saying. Additionally, it was picked up on cameras. So it is, this isn't about journalism. It stopped, he's not a journalist. He's like given hugs to the protest.

coordinator before this even started. I mean, he's on video talking about it. He went in seriously with the intent to disrupt. So, so this guy's, he's not a journalist. He's not a journalist. He wasn't doing journalism. He was being an activist. Let's stop. I mean, journalism, this idea that these people are all like very, you know, innocent little reporters has always been a lie. That's not how journalism even began. Journalism always began as a dirty business. And you're supposed to be able to use your discernment to figure out what's true and what isn't. But to have this, you know, this, the stuff that he was doing and, you know, these charges, I think it's going to, you know, going to stick. He was at the, I, what he was accused of doing is what he absolutely did.

He thought that he was going to be untouchable because he's seen the left be untouchable with this stuff for so long. You know they got him at the Grammys. He was at, the Grammy Awards. He apparently have been covering it for his YouTube channel because I know that whenever I want to see coverage of, you know, YouTube or Grammy stuff, I go to a 60-year-old man who lives in New York and I don't know what he listens to, but I bet he thinks Green Day's punk. That's the first guy I go to for all my musical knowledge. Just like I go to Joe Biden talking about keeping burglars off your, you know, with your balcony. I don't know. So they got, they had to get the arrest one. And I'm curious as to how they did because the judge, the chief judge of Minneapolis

didn't want to go along with it. The Eighth Circuit, they had a demand. They were wanting, they were looking to get a judicial warrant early next week. So I don't know if they got an indictment from a grand jury. I, I mean, I guess that's how they got it. Now, he's already hired. Guess who Hunter, guess who Don Lemon hired? He hired Abby Lowell. Why does that name? sound familiar to you? That's Hunter Biden's attorney. Abby Lowell is the guy who tried arguing that Hunter Biden was having a Second Amendment rights violated when he was high as a flipping kite and bought a gun. Yeah. So Abby Lowell was like, John Lemon has been a journalist for 30 years and his constitutionally protected work in Minneapolis was no different. Really? Like when he got up

into this preacher's face, ran into the church service. That's not journalism. You're being an anti-Christian bigot is what you're being. Goodness. Man, Don Lemon's going to be broke after this is over because Abby Lowell is expensive. Thousands of dollars an hour of this guy. But first off, Don Lemon wasn't, it's not Don Lemon's First Amendment rights that are in question here. Part of the First Amendment is the protection of the freedom of religious expression. And so when you're sitting in a church and you're worshiping and you're attending church services, that is part of participating with religious expression. You cannot interrupt. You can't just bust into a private, on private property, go into a church service, and then interrupt the service

and stick cameras in the faces of minors and adults and demand. And demand. these like man on the street type Q&A and then act like you're being denied if they don't immediately stop and accommodate you. And the fact that he was outside like gaming, pre-gaming all of this and talking to

he was hanging out with the writers, giving him hugs, he gave the leader of the whole thing a kiss on the cheek. I mean, he was out there with him because he was one of them. By the way, the other thing too is the KKK Act which all of this falls under and the Face Act.

none of those have exemptions for people who are journalisming. There's no journalist exemption. You can't just like bust up and, you know, if he was really a journalist for 30 years, he would know that. And that's, that's, I mean, he, all of these statutes, none of them he can avail himself of the criminality. and it's all on video. I mean, he's, he, what happened beforehand, you could say was conspiratorial, that he was conspiring with these people to bust up into the church building and harass them. I mean, they were talking about making them feel uncomfortable.

They were, they were like openly, stupidly openly talking about it in the video. He was standing outside before they ran in. So that, that, that's consistent. conspiracy that you were conspiring with these people before you walked in. So he, isn't he, does he appear in federal court today? Don Lemon, isn't he going to have his arraignment or something later? Yeah, I don't know what time, but I think it's, I think it's then. I'm saying, it's just not, it's not journalism. That's not journalism. And it's not a, the, the first amendment, Don Lemon's first amendment wasn't attacked. He attacked the first amendment of the people who were

sitting in the church. They were impeding on their First Amendment rights. They were interrupting their church service, private property, and harassing them. It was their First Amendment that was abridged here. And he thinks he's untouchable. This is him talking to that pastor. This is cut seven. Watch this.

This is when Don Lemon was pushing on these congregants. He says this is journalisming. Watch this. This is cut seven. I had no affiliation to that organization. I didn't even know. they were going to this church until we followed them there. We were there chronicling protests. Once the protest started in the church, but he's in the parking lot beforehand, and they were

pre-gaming it. He's in the parking lot before they went in, and they were pre-gaming. There was a video where he was going after this pastor in his face. So don't sit here and tell me that this was, you know, oh, I just heard about it, and I decided to cover it. You took, you took, you part in it. Look, this is taking part in it. This is participating. What do you think of it? I mean, this is unacceptable. It's shameful. It's shameful to interrupt a public gathering of Christians in worship. But there were folks who are, I have to take care of my flock. Listen, we live in, there's a constitution in the First Amendment to freedom of speech and freedom to assemble and protest. We're here to worship. We're here to

worship Jesus because that's the hope of these cities. That's the hope of the world. Jesus Christ. I want to be very respectful. Please don't push me, though. Wow. We're here. We're here to worship Jesus. We're getting in his face. Don Lemon's getting in his face and the guy's like putting up his hand to guard his spain. Don't push me. You giant pansy. Don Lemon isn't a journalist. He's a political prostitute. Don Lemon isn't a journalist. He's a far left douchebag who got run out of cable news and now he's trying to grift off the internet. He came to where all the rest of us have been, have been in the trenches. For years, we made the internet our home. He feels like he's been relegated to it. He feels like

it's a demotion. So he got kicked off his super flashy set and he doesn't have a job at a big network. And so he pulls stuff like this. He's got to fill those coffers. You know, the party lifestyle is expensive to maintain. Don't push me. You're in a trespass on our private property to disrupt our services. You're lucky you didn't get shot. There's no defense of this. There's no defense of this. Oh my gosh. Another, This is cut five. She only has this job because of who her dad was because God knows she can't host a show. Mika Brasinski, cut five.

And being charged for it. That is not... Did he conduct interviews inside the... I mean, I know the protest was happening, and so he followed the protest in to cover the story. At any point, did he take part in... Yeah, we'll see if we have footage here, but he did... He interviewed some of the protesters.

He interviewed some of the parishioners. He interviewed... I think he tried to talk to the minister at one point. Now this is them trying to say, you know, who is a journalist and who is and who isn't, who is and who isn't a journalist. These are the same people that get mad at Nick Shirley. These are the same people that are like, Nick Shirley's not a legitimate journalist. Nick Shirley's done actual more investigative journalism than Don Lemon could ever conceive of. Mika Prasinski.

Mika Prisinski, they always have to put her with a bunch of people because her personality is less, than a piece of cardboard. So they always have to put her. They either have to have her husband because God knows she can't host a show on her own or they have to put her with a bunch of people because she has the personality of cardboard. Well, I mean, oh, he was following them in?

Way to repeat what the guy just said is a way to fill time. Now, I guess, so the, yeah, the grand jury, which they could have done in the first place instead of going through that judge, which is really what they should have done in the first place. They did decide to indict.

Now, I think that's incredibly telling because you can't get all mad and jump on the administration for that. You all know how grand juries work, right? They got a bunch of people, random people, and they decided there was enough there to amount to an indictment. So that says something. We're going to talk more about that coming up as we move.

Folks over at Burn a gun, I'm always going to carry, I have no problem using lethal force. No issue. But I also want to diversify what I have in terms of my weapons array. I mean, think about it. you're a college kid living alone or maybe, you know, you're under 21 and just living alone. And you want to make sure that you can protect yourself. You know, if you're walking to your home or walking to work or wherever. And a lot of times, you know, you've got a lot of these

state, local, municipal restrictions that they won't give you security. They won't put extra law enforcement on the street. But you are a greater victim because of the restorative justice policies. You got to do something about your protection. So a lot of people have been looking at Burna. Burna CL stands for Compact Launcher. So those places where you can't carry lead, you can carry your compact launcher. It's roughly the size of an iPhone. There's no recoil, easy target acquisition. It comes with a standard capacity 15 round shot cartridge. It shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. Now, with all of that, there's no background checks. It doesn't care about gun-free zone signs because it's not a gun. You can order it online. They send it right to your porch right there by your. By your car. your door. They'd probably walk it into if you wanted them to. And it's made right here in the US of A. Now there's other models that they have and they have other projectiles and accessories, but for this purpose, the compact launcher, that's the one that you need to look at.

Maximum concealability, but you also have 15 round shot cartridge. That's a lot of chances to get to safety. Visit berna.com slash Dana and get your burner gun, the CL Compact Launcher today.

I just want to be able to ascertain what more they can be doing to ensure that all parties who will fall in love with this baby know of her existence and to. to be able to secure their embryos that they stored with the defendant.

Court documents show the baby girl was born in December through IVF from the fertility center of Orlando. Soon after, the parents who were white realized the baby is not. And genetic testing revealed the little girl isn't theirs. The couple is now begging for answers from the clinic and Dr. Milton McNichol, who they say implanted the embryo. So that we can find and secure the remaining embryo or embryos and so that we can notify the genetic parents of Shea of her existence. During a virtual emergency hearing on Wednesday, the couple's attorney laid out seven requests, including getting the clinic to pay for genetic testing of any child born under the clinic's care in the past five years. We're trying to both identify who got the patient's embryos, as well as we're trying to identify. This is such a sad story.

And this is, so to collect, so the parents, that child is not the genetic child of either of them. It wasn't even her embryo. So it was someone else's embryo, wasn't even hers. So neither of them have any genetic relation. It's not like some people like, oh, she's stepping out. She can't. She can't have a baby. That's what she had to do, IV.

She couldn't step out. And it's not her embryo. Their embryos apparently went somewhere else. And the reason they love her and they would, I mean, they would like to. keep her and raise her, but here's why they're trying to fight this, because technically they have no legal claim to this baby. And they don't want the genetic parents to show up and they very well could and take her. There's nothing stopping those genetic parents from showing up and saying that baby's ours, even after like five years. There's nothing stopping them. So that's why they're like,

we've got to find this out. Because how could you live, loving and and raising this child as your own with this sort of Damocles, so to speak, over your head, where you have no idea whether or not that child's, the parents are going to show up at any moment and claim her.

And then there's also the fear, well, who has their baby? Right. Their, her embryo, her husband's DNA, them, who has their baby? That's the other thing. So they're trying to find both of these out.

It's not like, you know, And she gave an interview where she was like, you know, we would love to keep her and raise her. We love her. But they're terrified that any moment the genetic parents are going to step forward and claim her. So they're trying to figure that who those people are. And that clinic, I'm sorry, but that guy looks like a, he looks like a Dave Chappelle character. I would not go to a clinic with a doctor who literally looks like he stepped off a soundstage from a Dave Chappelle skit. He does. He looks like that. Come on. He didn't look like a, he didn't look like a serious dog. I don't know. picky, but he just looks like, I don't know, goofy. But I feel so bad for them. That's crazy. Yeah, I love how, well, and soon after, they noticed. Oh, though they did, did they? They noticed soon after, not right

away. I mean, I'm wondering if there is, you know, a couple, you know, a black couple that, you know, had a white baby. The soon after, what? What do you mean soon after? You kind of know that stuff immediately. But they're just terrified. They're so scared that that, and I would be too, that the parents would just come and you know, after you raise this child

and, you know, the parents come and they could take her away because as it is, they have no legal claim over her right now. That's so sad. I can't believe that clinic didn't even respond to them for like months. They had to go to the press. That's the only way they could get anything done. That's so sad. We have more on the way, including some of the latest with Minnesota

and the Don Lemon arrest. The media reaction. Oh, suddenly now they're interested in free speech. Stick with us. Folks who don't make the program possible. It's the people over at WebRute.

A lot to discuss today because we got, Don Lemon has been arrested. You've got government shutdown, which they don't get anything going through by Saturday evening. That's, we're well on our way, so we're going to get into all of that and more. But this

whole issue of the free speech, You can't bust up into a private and private property and disrupt a private church service and scream and intimidate people and act like that's journalism. I mean, you literally made yourself the story. That's not journalism. That's agitation. One of those rioters, Nakema Armstrong, she was arrested. She was arrested.

Listen to her talk. This is cut eight. Good night. We have belly chains around our waist and we had handcuffs with bars in the middle. as someone who majored in African American studies, I can tell you that that is the closest I ever felt to slavery in my life. Being shackled as if I was a slave. It is unacceptable and unconscionable, but it's on brand for a while. So you want racial preference, preferential racial treatment.

You think you should be able to bust up. Imagine if you had people bust up into a mosque. How would that go? What if Don Lemon went to a mosque? How do you think that would have worked out? Oh, they don't do that because nobody wants to get their damn heads chopped off. That's why. So they go target churches.

This woman is a racial grievance larker. The closest I've ever been to slavery was having to listen to this tubby broad sit here and talk about how she had to be, how she got in trouble because she trespassed and was screaming and intimidating churchgoers. I love how she tries to qualify it as an African-American studies expert. I think we all are at this point. No, you acted like the slave master, lady. You busted up into a church and you weren't going to allow free people to worship, just like a slave master would.

You should congratulate yourself. Moving on up. Ridiculous. Going in there and intimidating these people like that. Now, the new thing that they're doing is they're trying to say, well, Don, that means a journalist. These are the same people that said that Nick Shirley was not a journalist. These are the same people that get super upset if you are an independent journalist and you go out and you bust somebody on the left.

They get super mad about that. Remember the Planned Parenthood story where there was this undercover video where they were selling, Planned Parenthood was selling baby parts? David Delighton. Kamala Harris, when she was AGO, California, went after David Delighton. David Delighton was the guy who got all the undercover video that showed that Planned Parenthood was taking organs

and parts of aborted babies, and they were selling them on the black market for insane profit. And he uncovered that. And they've been trying to bury him and drown him with lawfare ever since. But everyone was saying, oh, that's not reporting. David Delighton isn't a reporter. it's only a reporter when they want you to be a reporter.

This is one of the problems with the, what was it, the Fairness Act? What was it that some of these clueless people talk about reinstituting? Yeah, Fairness Doctrine. Well, part of the Fairness Doctrine is people like Chuck Schumer back, this was like five years ago, he was talking about having the government approve who is and who isn't a journalist. Democrats have been wanting to do that forever, just like they've been wanting to nationalize police, they want to nationalize the press.

They have always wanted to be a public. to determine who is it is or isn't a journalist. And this is one, I see them all like coming together to attack this. Oh, well, this is, you know, he's a journalist, but all these other people aren't. Nick Shirley uncovered the biggest story of taxpayer theft in American history. He should be getting a Pulitzer and he's not because these people are ridiculous. All these institutions, for instance, how long have I been in broadcasting? Number one female in radio. I don't like to say female. I like to be just number one. But the women broadcasters association won't even look my way, has never looked my way, never ever once because I'm a conservative and because it's a BS organization

of a bunch of stupid, talentless broads who only wish they could have a quarter of other people's success, and that's okay. So this is, they've always tried to control and gatekeep these institutions. Nick Shirley can't be, can I just be honest? I don't even know if Nick, Shirley's a conservative. Do we even know, I don't care, but I'm just saying, you don't know because he never made himself the focus of the story. He always went in and was in trying to figure out, okay, is this the institution that says it's the Learing Center? Is this the medical transport company? He's always made it about the story. Kane says that he stated that he's not either a Republican or Democrat.

So they don't even know what he is. They just don't like that his work has uncovered Democrat shenanigans. That's what it's all about. They don't like that. It hurt them. So they don't like it. Well, it's too damn bad, I guess.

Too bad. I keep seeing, but you got everybody from ABC, NBC, oh my gosh, all these people trying to defend this. and unfortunately, it is press. Press has always been independent. The press always, it began that way. Now, Philly DA, Larry Krasner. Remember this guy, we played this audio of him, was it yesterday or day before,

where he was calling ICE agents Nazis and basically saying that you got to go get him. Well, he's doubled and tripled down on it. This is cut 10. This guy is a DA. He's a Soros-backed DA. Listen to how he is. There are some people who are all in on a fascist takeover of this country who do not like the comparison to what happened in Nazi Germany. But the point I was making is actually very straightforward.

When you kill people, we can hunt you down and bring you to justice in 10 years or 20 or 30 years, just like what happened with the Golden State killer, who was a serial killer in California. That's how it worked. It worked that way with the Nazis, but it also. works with all kinds of other criminals who commit terrible crimes. But couldn't you have made that point without comparing them to Nazis? Why would I do that? The reality is they're taking almost everything they do out of the Nazi playbook. Like how? Like that, are they, because your party is the only one going after

Jews, dude. You guys wouldn't even have Josh Shapiro on your presidential ticket because he was Jewish. You guys are the ones that have been back in Hamas. You guys are the ones that have been sucking up to Hezbollah. I mean, come on. What are you all talking about? I just think it's funny. Don't sit here and tell me that you're like not an anti-Semite and then you sit here and compare Jewish people to the murderers and rapists and pedophiles that are convicted that have ICE detainers on them that ICE is responding to. When you have to sit here and use the Holocaust as a cudgel because you're too stupid, I don't even know how this guy's a DA. Larry Krasner is one of the dumbest boomers I've ever seen in my life. He deserves no courtesy.

I mean, that's ridiculous. You know what? If he probably had more testosterone and he was maybe five inches taller, he'd probably be a woman beater. But as it is, and I don't even think he can lift a piece of sandwich bread. I'm taking all comers today.

Just, you know, throw my way. And yeah, I can't. I can't. This guy, this is the part of the rhetoric that's the problem. This makes it all part of the problem. Oh boy. Jane Fonda.

Do we want it? Dare we? dare we with this one? All our Vietnam vets are getting ready to throw stuff at the wall. Sorry, dudes. So this is Jane Fonda. Jane Fonda all of a sudden thought you would be interested in hearing her anti-ice message. Let me just read this to you how it's listed on my audio rundown real quick.

Jane Fonda's anti-ice message inserts internal lesbian anger, which also tells her there's still time for her to turn lesbian. What? Go play this. Play this. now. I'm Jane Fonda. And I'm Jane Fonda's internal lesbian anger. What? Dana, I'm not a lesbian. There's still time, Jane. There's still time. I've been fighting injustices like these for a very long time. She's been fighting like this for like a hundred years everybody. Oh, let's not go that far. 70, 70?

That's better. She's been fighting like this for like 70 years, everybody. So I'm here to remind you to exercise your First Amendment rights. Fight for the Constitution, freedom of speech speak the up freedom of cash what annoying she's like the worst it's time to be brave and stand up enough is enough all right granny Jane that was really good

when she said I can't tell if Jane Fonda's angry or not because her face is stretched tighter than a pool covering for winter I can't tell yeah her face is stretched more tauter than a skin over a snare her face is stretched so far it's like watching an angry white fat progressive and leggings that's how fun that's like the level of stretchness that we're seeing here that is a hell of a

stretch so uh man she's alive still isn't she like 210 she was old when she was out in vietnam with the commies and loving the attention goodness i didn't even think she's a great actress Again, she can't emote. She has the same Zoolander look for everything. I bet she has to get her eyebrows tattooed on because otherwise they'd be up on her hair line. I'm going to be done at some point. I just, not now.

So what is this that? What are you going to have a First Amendment? Nobody's talking about your First Amendment. What the hell does that have to do with rapists, pedophiles, and murderers that have, they're convicted and they got ice detainers on them? Do people just like making up stuff to argue? Oh my gosh. is getting rid of this convicted murderer that came in from El Salvador.

Well, this Justin, and this is horrible, horrible news. Catherine O'Hara has passed away. Catherine O'Hara, the brilliant and iconic actress from every, the mom from home alone.

She's been in every Tim Burton movie. Beetlejuice, Home Alone. she was in waiting for Guffman Best in Show a mighty win for your consideration. Frankenweeney Over the Hedge, Nightmare before Christmas. Moira Rose in Schitts Creek. She's been in everything passed away at age

71. There isn't, so page 6 was the first out with it. They're saying so far, there's, they cause of death, they don't have a cause of death yet, but it was announced that she has passed away age 71. Wow, that one hurts.

That one hurts. Because she was amazing. Good night. She's such a great actress. Oh, where do you go after this? Man, all the good ones. None of the people that you want to die. It's always the ones that you don't want to die. What? It's true. I'm just saying what y'all are thinking. A Waymo hit a kid near an elementary school. Yeah, the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration is investigating. It struck a child, the Waymo car near an elementary school in Santa Monica, California. now in a separate incident in Los Angeles, there was, is this like a Waymo, the Zekers? Zeker vehicle operated in manual mode, sped through a one-way residential street near Dodgers Stadium.

If you were like at the airport and you got like a called a ride share service and it was a driverless car that pulled up, I wouldn't get in it, would you? I wouldn't either. No way. So now they're investigating. They said that the child was struck by the Waymo that the according to National Highway Transportation Safety, they said that apparently it was coming from, the kid was coming from behind a double parked SUV towards the school and that's when they were hit by the Waymo. So we don't have any other information than that, but that's also sad. This is just stupid. Men are embracing, this is a dumb study. They're saying men are embracing beauty culture and many of them refuse to call it that. And they're not. This is called grooming. Shut up.

Shaving, making sure your eyebrows don't look like caterpillars. That's just called grooming. Stop it. So tired. People think the stuff began the day they were born. Wow, when did men start, like, cleaning themselves? Well, they've always done that. It's called grooming, people.

Jelaine Maxwell claims 29 friends cut secret deals with the DOJ and an Epstein twist. I find her disgusting. Everything about them. Like, they just look nasty, like nasty, gross people. She said that 25 men reached undisclosed. those deals in four alleged co-conspirators that were known to investigators but never charged. She doesn't name them. But she said there were a lot of deals that were being cut. I would like to know who those people were. Just saying, Apple sales surge 16% staggering iPhone

demand. I didn't go out and get the new iPhone because I think it's ugly. I think it's dumb and I don't want the whole top half of my phone to look like that. So out of spite, I'm not going to do it until they make it go back. I'm not going to get the new because it's dumb looking. It's dumb. So they said that the company, though, people are going out and buying them. The camera, there's nothing different with a camera. There's nothing different. They just, let's move this over here and act like we boosted the power. 16% though, staggering the iPhone demand.

They found the strongest results in China where they love ugly stupid phones. So that works. And Hong Kong, sales in the region, surge 38%. So it's China, Kami Chinese, that are buying these ugly, grody phones. Let them buy the new ugly Apple phones. Apple could get rid of all the ugly 17s, and then they can go back to making decent-looking devices. We have a lot more on the way coming up. We got law and order.

You're seeing what they're doing to us on the streets, but they are doing the same thing through the courts and their power of the agencies to defund all of state government to make it, yes, we're the most generous state in the country with benefits and things like that.

Did we have some people steal from us? Yes, and we put them in jail. They use it as an excuse to dismantle a progressive, functional state that's some of the highest quality of life. Yeah, some people steal from some people steal from us. You know, we're the most generous. You're not generous. You steal taxpayer dollars from people.

And then you redistributed it to all of your Islamist Democrat financier buddies. That's exactly what you did. We're the most generous. I mean, yeah, we're the most generous in the state. Some, you know, it's like, some people steal. Some people steal. Some people are still from us. But, yeah, you know, they're in jail.

They're actually not. jail. There's only a small fraction of them that were actually convicted and charged. I mean, the rest are just running out there still scamming everybody, as we saw from Nick Shirley's reporting. So I can't believe, yeah, I mean, we're the most generous in every. Imagine bragging about how much of your taxpayer dollars that you waste and trying to try to dress it up as generosity. I love it. I mean, I love being generous to other people's money. It's so easy. I would love to give you $100. Can you write him a check for $100? I find it easy to do.

Yeah, it's very easy, very easy to be generous with other people's money. He's a fruit loop. I think it's hysterical that he tells everybody, I'm not running. I'm not running again because he couldn't because he's implicated in all of this. This guy got fat cash to taxpayer dollars from all of these little scammed groups out there. I mean, I can't believe that's a soundbite. Did some people steal from us? Yeah, I mean, you know what they did.

That is an ad Republican Party. Where is the R&C at, you dipwads? But I remember when they were denying the fraud. Don't you remember those days? When there was no fraud at all. They were like, no fraud. Wait, no fraud. What are we're in that phase of, well, there's fraud, but we're generous.

I mean, but we're generous, though. I mean, yeah, there's fraud. Yeah. Okay, that's bad. The R&C needs to be making ads about that. Where are they doing? R&C should be making ads. about this stuff. This should be an ad

every day. Democrats wasting your money. I mean, yeah, we're generous. Did some people steal? Yeah. Yeah, they did. Yeah. Cut it at that. I felt like I was watching a scene from Stepbrothers, right? That's what it feels like. Whenever I watched Tim Walls, he needs a helmet.

I just put a helmet on him. It's just insane. This is just I can't, I'm just trying to get around the fact that he, that was this, that's a real soundbite. Pretty unbelievable. Now, apparently Chuck Schumer took to the Senate floor, and he decided to speak about Don Lemon and journalisming. This is cut 27. Now, they didn't do this again with David Delight, and they didn't do it with Nick Shirley.

But Don Lemon, though, listen. On another issue. Last night, federal agents arrested journalist Don Lemon in Los Angeles, after he recently covered protest activities in Minnesota. Minnesota. Once again, the administration is behaving no differently from police states and authoritarian regimes across history. They've arrested a journalist for the crime of doing his job. And let's be very clear. This arrest is not just about one journalist in one incident. The arrest is a dark message to journalists everywhere. If you dare criticize this administration, watch your back.

That's not a democracy. That's a police state. And that is pure authoritarian bile. Democracy will suffer if the government chose. Oh, my gosh. I'm so done. So Don Lemon was not behaving like a journalist. He was behaving like a protester.

And he rushed up into the church and decided to cause problems and intimidate harass and scream. We played these videos. Stop acting like this is journalism. I'm so tired of these people. Just like, it's a mostly peaceful protest. It's journalism.

It's journalism. Kane, you made a good point. He had no, they didn't, none of this, all the, they had no concern for journalism on all of the people that were independent journalists and otherwise, that were arrested, harassed, targeted on J6. Like, not at all. There was no concern.

Or even David Delighton. For the First Amendment. James O'Keefe. No concern for it. Yeah, on all those instances. Nick Shirley. It's unreal. Rila Rose.

I mean, all of these people. If people can't see how two-faced the Democrats are with every speech they come out with in the front of the media or on the floor of the House or the Senate, it's unbelievable. They don't care about the truth anymore. It's not important to them.

They care only about a narrative push to the end, which is them in power. Yeah, that's what it's all about. And you know what's funny. So I saw TMZ. They're attacking Nikki Minaj because what did Nikki Minaj? What did Nikki Minaj call down? Don Lemon?

hold up. They said she used a homophobic slur on him. Hang on, let me look at those. Because I am dying laughing if it's what I think it is. Typing this in here. They said, oh yeah, they're all mad at her. She doubles down on homophobic slur at Don Lemon before his arrest.

Well, what was the slur? I think she just said, no. I think she, no, she, they asked her, they go, was there anything you'd like to say to Don Lemon. And she laughed and I don't know how to say this, Kane. A male copulatory organ consumer. Oh. That's as close as we're getting.

She said that. Stop. That's what she said. Yeah. Yeah. That's as close as we're going to get. Now, question. She called him the noun for an activity.

Yes. Er. Now we're all confused. Now we're all confused. Well, this is the news. How do I do this? If a lollipop was made out of rooster. Yeah.

Okay. You don't need to go further with that. Okay, I think that does it though, right? Okay. We're good. Yeah, okay. Er. So, now my question is this.

How is it a slur when that's what you do? I mean That's like saying Dana, I'm a casual gamer, but like are you a gamer? Well, yes, I am that er. Because I do game. So if So

he does that, that's not a slur. Really looking for an off ramp here. There is none, Kane. But the ticket, take the wrong. That's not a slur. Oh, do you like writing skateboards? Yes, you're a skateboarder. Yeah. So how is that a slur?

It's an observation? Yes. A slur? Unless you think that you being an er of that activity is a bad thing. Then and only then could you misconstrue that as a pejorative, right? Yeah. Do you like beating wives? You might be a wife beat er.

See? Do you like engaging in this? intimate practice with a male copulatory organ, then you might be that er. I'm just saying, you know? That's not a slur. It's an observation. Don't sit here and act like there's hurt feelings now.

These people that act so big and bad. I'm going to bust up into church and go after, you know why? Because no Christian's going to cut your head off. That's why. Although I wish that they had better security there, I got to be honest. But no Christian's going to go and cut your head off for that. You want to be real big and ballsy.

try busting up into a mosque and see how well that goes for you. Now try that. Let's do that. Let's take, let's have John Lemon buy that ticket and take that ride. Let's do that. Muslims don't like those kind of errs. Oh, man, I can't even. All right, the people in the chat are not helping because I'm not going to say that. Really want to. Not going to do it, though. They're not helping with these things that I really want to say on air because they're clever. Where can people see the chat, Dana? Well, right now it's at Rumble, but I don't like Rumble. because they suppress us because we're not one of the owners. So it's true story. Yeah, they just want to go after Nikki Minaj because she was at the White House.

That's all. They're going after her because she was at the White House. And now she's got to pay, so they're going to come after her. What are you going to send the rainbow people? Have you heard her music? Because pretty sure she doesn't care. Just saying, pretty sure she doesn't care. And also pretty sure that her base doesn't care either.

you know, don't think her base cares. You're not going to guilt her into this. So now we're going to gatekeep. What is the journalist? Do you remember back when, let me go back, this was back when Ashley Biden left her weirdo fetish diary and the mattress of a flop house, a drug flop house, remember that? And somebody found it.

And then somehow James O'Keefe got a hold of it. And then the FBI was like, that's not, or the Biden kept saying, that's not Ashley Biden's diary. but here's the FBI to raise your houses and take it anyway. Remember when all that happened? Where was the defense? You literally had journalists homes who were raided by law enforcement for on behalf of drug addicted Ashley Biden.

So where was the cries for the free press and free speech and fascism then? They actually had to use Secret Service and FBI to babysit his middle-aged drug addicted kids. That's what part of our tax dollars went for. These walking scabie meat sacks. That's what they, I mean, they're, the sentient scabies. That's, that's, they had to have FBI and Secret Service babysit them. But they raided journalists' homes.

Oh my gosh, chat. I can't say that either. Well, the other one I might, might be able to work that in. Might be able to work that one in. The Richard one? Yeah, that's formal. sounds very formal that dare I say that almost sounds respectable smoker Richard smoker that what's a man's name separate from the Don Lemon being called a slur by uh nickey menage I'm just saying

and again it's not a slur if it's an observation it's not a slur if you do it we have more I have no idea what it's Friday that's what happened it's Friday and it's going to get really cold again so you're just going to indulge us we have more on the way I could come back to this, though. It's news. We're all right. January is when a lot of people finally stop and look at their money. And instead of chasing big predictions or the next hot thing, they just want something solid. And that's why gold keeps coming up as a steady, reliable option. I was talking with Colin Plum over at Noble Gold Investments. And we were discussing how no one really knows what 2026 is going to bring,

elections, markets, wars. But one thing we do know, gold and silver have outlasted every empire. every crash, every currency. And at the end of the day, it's about that peace of mind. Having a little gold in your strategy can make those wild market swings a lot easier to live with because real wealth isn't flashy.

It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. So Florida Man robbed three stores at gunpoint and then as he was fleeing crashed right into a telephone pole. He didn't get very far. Not at all. WFLA says a Florida man led law enforcement on a chase, Marion County. This was on Tuesday. He entered a family dollar, pointed, why do people rob family dollars? Family dollar for crying out loud. He pointed a gun at the store clerk, demanded money, left the store, entered shoe station. I guess they shall sell shoes. And then he entered a Murphy Oil gas station. And then again, he held that person at gunpoint, held the shoe store person at gunpoint to rob them. and then try to flee the scene and rain right into a pole.

Karma! Nature helped, right? There's a little bit of a godsmack right there, I would say. Let's see. Ooh, that one's nasty. Let me do this one real quick, because that one, this is the saddest headline ever. A Florida man bought a stripper flowers and chocolates with fake money.

That's everything about this is sad. It's like the, what is it, the world's shortest story. Wasn't it, Hemingway, it said baby shoes for sale, never used? Right. Yeah. World's sad a story. Or is it? Florida man buys stripper flowers and chocolates with fake money.

That's probably going to be the world's shortest story now. Alexander DePue thought he could buy his way to a dancer's heart. 32-year-old spent $300 in movie prop money at a Clearwater Forest to get a spread of chocolate chocolates and flowers for a woman at Oasis cabaret. Mr. DePue handed over 15 counterfeit $20 bills to cover $288. And then it wasn't until he left that the florist saw that the bills were marked replica and not legal tender. Yeah. So he headed to the strip club.

He tried to pave his bar tab with some more of the fake money. They were a little wiser, though, at the club. And they're like, yeah, we're really good at spot. and fake stuff, whether it's on stage or this cash. And they weren't falling for it. They immediately called the police. And when the police arrived, they found another $400 in fake cash in his pockets. And so he said that, yeah, I did it because I wanted to give this dancer flowers and chocolates.

When they looked in his car, too, they found all kinds of methamphetamine and everything. So he's being held on a $21,000 bond. But did the stripper get the chocolates and flowers, though? or was that like evidence I'm curious did that did it ever make it to her whatever happened to that

you think so that's the saddest probably the saddest story let's see oh ex-husbands plural Florida woman is accused of killing ex-husbands

across Tampa Bay man she looks like she'd kill you I was looking at this lady's mugshot I just need to start a service where you send me a photo of a woman. And I'm going to tell you straight up whether or not she's crazy just from one photo. Just have her look at the camera, have decent lighting. And I'll tell you if she's crazy by looking at her.

I should do that as a service. I'd save a lot of people, a lot of time and money. But she's accused of murdering her ex-husbands, plural, two of them. She was Susan Avalon. She's 51. She's a hell of a lot older than that. She waved her arraignment, entered plea for jury trial. Manatee County, they arrested her after she was masquerading as a

Panera food delivery driver. She shot one ex-husband, and then both of them in December. 911 was called on one of them, and the guy before he passed away told law enforcement he described the way she looked, and when they go, well, do you know who it could have been? He said, quote, possibly my ex-wife, Susan. And their 15-year-old daughter was there at home when she shot and killed her ex-husband. her daughter's father. That's crazy. So they, and the daughter's super traumatized. So the mother's

taken into custody. But yeah, she does look nuts. I'm telling you, they all have a look, dudes. They all got a look, every one of them. And a Florida teen was arrested after a high speed chase ended with a crash into a mail truck, like M-A-I-L, not like a mail truck for Don Lemon. Yeah, he's in trouble. This dude, a teenager.

Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you. We're at the top of this third hour. We've been talking about a lot of stuff. I'll get into the Don Lemon thing. And, of course, journal. Elizabeth, mean, the latest with Minnesota, and then you got the government shutdown that looms Saturday. And then it came out today that Catherine O'Hara passed away, 71 years old. That's a shocking thing. She was the mom in Home Alone. She was the voice of Sally and Nightmare Before Christmas. She was in Schitts Creek. She was also in, oh my gosh, everything. All of the Christopher Guest films, Christopher Guest is Jamie Lee Curtis's husband. So he did a mighty wind and all. that stuff. She was in all of his movies. She did, I mean, gosh, all kinds of stuff. I'm like trying

to think of what she didn't do, waiting for Guffman, all the Beetlejuice movies, Home Alone, what else, Frank and Weeny, where the wild things are, everything. And then she was in that sitcom. And she got started through Second City, which was like a comedic company. And it's like all of the really good people out of the 80s. got started at Second City. Because you had Eugene Levy, Joan Rivers, John Candy, Mike Myers,

John Belushi, Akroyd, Cedacus, Steve Correll, Bill Murray, all these people got started out of Second City. So she's had a really long career. She used to be the understudy for Gilda Radner on SNL, too. But, yeah, that's, wow, 71. So now, Kain and I were talking,

Rule of 3? How does that work? Yeah. Well, typically celebrities, and this is a, you know, my grandmother's rule. Yeah, it's, it's kind of an old wives tale, but it's kind of true. I mean, I've experienced it as true many, many times where a celebrity passes away, and then within two weeks of that celebrity passing, two other celebrities die. So within a two week period, typically the rule of three is that three celebrities will pass away. So Catherine O'Haret today? Yeah, I'm looking at.

Because you have to know that it can't just be like a celebrity that somebody else knows that you don't. Right. So who possibly could qualify was the, was the Grateful Dead guy that passed away recently? Scott Adams, probably. Scott Adams, probably. I would say for me, Scott Adams, Valentino, and Catherine. And now Catherine. So we're going to start over another three? Yeah, because the Bob Weir guy, I mean, I guess that sounds, but the Grateful Dead of it, I didn't really know.

I don't know. Like some of these slide down bar, I'm like, I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, the rest of them are celebrity. Some drag queen, I don't know. Some other dude, I don't know. This dude. Maybe the guy who was in Scorpions.

Right. So I think there's probably been already the three. Because everybody else is like a nobody. Sorry, but they are. They're nobody. It's true. It's true. I mean, if you're looking at the level of Catherine O'Hara, then we're looking at two more beyond her.

But yeah. Maybe the drummer for Susie and the Banshees. When was that? This year. Yeah, it was like beginning of this month. Huh. But I would say Scott Adams, Valentino, and Catherine O'Hara. All right.

So there's another three then. I think that's the three. Because I'm looking at all the celebrity dust and I'm like, no, no, no, no, this is for, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, I'm scrolling. Nope, nope, nope, mm-mm, nope. Maybe the Scorpions guy, maybe the Susie and the Banshees drummer, but then that would just leave us with one more. Unless you put Bob Weir on that and then that's three again.

So either way, I think. it gets the three are tied up and gets tied up so now it would start over again. Hmm. Got that. Man, 26 is already picking them off in it. Good night. Good night. So, yeah, she was great. She was in every, almost every movie of my childhood, right? Almost every movie of my childhood. She's in everything. She's in everything. All the beetle juice. She was really great in beetle juice and the last beetle juice too. I thought that was very good too. But she was a very kooky. Moira and Schitt's Creek was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. When she did the fruit wine commercial, if you love fruit wine as much as I do, you're going to love her fruct blind nurse. Fruit wine. So great. So rule of three, satisfied. All right. A few other things to get set up. We talked about Don Lemon being arrested. Don Lemon's being arrested. because he busted up into a church and decided

that he was going to pull some shenanigans. And then you have these celebrities reacting to it. I feel like a lot of these people, I just saw that evil Longoria did a thing. I don't even know why. She's like 51. She looks good for 51. I just

wish her politics were smarter. People seem to forget that the reason that ICE is up there is for a specific reason. Minnesota stopped complying with detainer request so they had to physically go up there and do it themselves. Then they had a stand-on order.

The governor and the mayor of Minneapolis gave the police a stand-on order that was confirmed by the police union and they couldn't even keep the peace or help maintain a perimeter so that ICE could just conduct their operations and get out. they wanted it to be as chaotic and ridiculous as possible. No one is apportioning the proper amount of accountability for that. And then you have these people. So the daughter of Ronald McDonald, Kathy Griffin, she wants you to snoop on your neighbors and find out if they're MAGA or not.

Listen to this unhingedness. I think it's time to talk to the neighbors in real life. It's time to talk to your neighbors, find out if they're MAGA or not. Sorry, but we have to know who's on our team. and start to plan. Is there a way we can do something as a community? When I hear from my followers in Minnesota, they describe a very sophisticated channel

of a system of things that they do to help one another. And they use encrypted apps, and like I said, everyone has whistles and honks their horn, but they organize in small groups. And they have told me that they learned this from the George Floyd incident because George Floyd was murdered 20 blocks away from these other murders roughly.

And so they said they learned a lot from that experience. So I'm just telling you guys, live your life, but be conscious of this. And if you're silent, you're complicit. Is she not breathe out of her nose? Is it not just something that she can do? So everything has to be. I'm just solid with followers.

Jiminy Christmas. Ronald McDonald's daughter. everybody, Kathy Griffin. Find out, what does that mean? Plan for what? Her message was so convoluted. Time to talk to your neighbors, find out if they're MAGA. We need to know who's on our team.

Also, this happened in Minnesota. What is she talking about? Does she, like, actually put makeup and a wig on and sit down and have time and just do that video for no other purpose but word salad? Talk to your neighbors about what? So if you find out your neighbor's MAGA, what are you going to do about it, Ronnie? What are you going to do? Ronette McDonald. What are you going to do? Good night. I love these people. You know, when I'm hearing her talk, the word salad, is almost as entertaining as hearing Candice Owens try to pronounce words. Gail Sharpton. Have you ever heard Al Sharpton say Sigourney Weaver's name?

Siginore Weaver. Have you ever heard him say Chipotle? I am convinced that Candice Owens is just Al Sharpton in drag. I am convinced at this point. They literally say things the exact same way. They share the same, they have custody of the same brain cell, and they pronounce words exactly the same. Machabur. Boy, that's really mockabre. Macabre, we mean? We got to legitimatize. What the hell? Can you speak English? Is that possible for you? good night. I mean, maybe your British twink of a husband can help you with some pronunciation. Oh, architecture. texture. I can't even say it incorrectly. It's like Jill Biden. Boguda. You mean the capital of Columbia? No, I mean Bogota, the little, the little Quick Mart in New York City.

Yeah, the bodegos. Okay. Architecture. There's a whole account that has a million of these videos. I've never seen anybody. but he's so unintelligent. Mockaber. That's so Mocker. We've got to legitimize this maca bur. With some architecture.

I haven't even talked about any of that because it just, I think it's, nobody's watching or paying attention to it anymore. I think she just needs to get a new obsession. But she does sound like she was in love with Charlie Kirk and got mad that he picked Erica over her. I've never seen like a woman so scored in my life. Oh my gosh. I think if she could get away with it, she'd probably have the NAACP try to file a race

hustling lawsuit against them. That's how she got started. She was race hustling out there with all those other losers out in 2016. And then she only flipped when she thought she could make some cash out of it. That was the only time. She used to docks conservatives and go after gamers and all that stuff. How mockabur is that? Got to legitimatize. That's a whole account. I don't know if you've seen it, but it's hysterical. So we haven't talked a lot about that just because it's, you know, but she like really went after Erica Kirk. I haven't played any of that because I just don't even care. But I do think it's funny to make fun of.

I've just never thought, I mean, you have Al and Gal Sharpton, the Sharptons. So mockabur. I think, you know what? I want to get just some of those incorrectly pronounced words and add them to like my stinger board so I can just like fire them off at will, right? I think that that would be great. Every time I say the word mockabur, I think of that Jane song. Makaba? I think of that song. Every time I hear her try to say macabre. It's so mockabur.

Got to legitimize this architecture. What? Yeah, I said it. Can you say it properly? Try that one. So they're trying to go after this judge, or the grand jury rather. They were saying, so they're arguing that the DOJ's original complaint against Lemon was rejected by the magistrate judge who were to sign the complaint and the DOJ appealed and that was rejected. But the appeals didn't reject the claim on its merits. They said that clear probable cause existed. Jake Tapper's trying to say that there was like no probable cause and that it was just like drummed up. That's not true. They literally said in that the appeals, they said that the probable cause existed, but they sent it back because they wanted the process to play out. So Jake Tappers out here tweeting about, oh, the DOG's

original complaint against Don Lemon was rejected by this magistrate judge, et cetera. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's not the problem. Or that's not the story. That's like completely dishonest. They didn't reject the claim on its merits. They literally said that there was probable cause. And notice how all these people in the media defending, they're like, oh, Don, instead of Don Lemon. They all know him. They're all rushing to defend him. They're all rushing to defend him. Their first name basis, right? They all knew. They all knew. Lorraine says Kathy Griffin had a lung removed.

I don't know. I don't keep up with her. She's hateful. She is. Kathy Griffin's hateful. Still, she's always talked like that, though. Let's see. We're going to come back to this.

There's, because we also have the Mangione stuff. And also, you have this fetish, this, like, lionizing of these violent leftists, whether it's like the Mangione, whether it's, It's, you know, these, it's BLM, et cetera. Yet this, because this is still ongoing with Minnesota, the very interesting, how do I say it, posturing by some of these longstanding anti-2A groups has been very interesting going into this pretty case in Minnesota. We're going to talk about that and more. And now, all of the news you would probably miss.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Two board women in Southern California filed a lawsuit against Costco over their rotissory chickens that were $5. $5.00 rotissory chicken. It's a class action lawsuit that says Costco is misleading customers and engaging in false advertising because it said their $5 rotissory chickens had no preservatives. And they said it's made with two preservatives, sodium phosphate and carogenin. I don't know. And the women said they would not have purchased the chickens if they knew. they had contained preservatives

and they were sold for $4.99. Make your own damn chicken then. Good night. I cannot believe that, you know, they spent more just on lawyers' fees and filing than they did on them rotissory chickens. Get these broads a hobby. A thief steals a six-foot taxidermy bear off a Michigan front porch. Only in Michigan would they have this. It was stolen on January 19th.

Home security footage captured a suspect wearing black clothing, taking the bear off the porch of the home. would you have the bear on the front porch of your house, though? I mean, I would immediately assume it had a necklace or ring and a fake sheriff's badge and a holster with a toy gun. They said, if anybody is any information on this giant six-foot-tall taxidermy bear, please call the police. That's not going to happen.

They're never seen that thing again. I'll just say. So Google says Chrome's new auto-brows feature is a powerful experience that handles multi-step chores on your behalf. So now AI is going to do the browse. for you? Is that what that is? I don't want it to browse things for me. I don't want to browse anything myself, much less have something to do it for me. They have new AI features because if life isn't annoying enough, we need AI, more AI in it. Google says that it's auto browse

and blah blah can help you optimize all this stuff by doing the mundane work and do, I don't, I don't trust, I don't trust AI to do any of that. I wouldn't trust AI to make a sandwich, you know. Pringles, Tylenot, and Nutella are among 2,000 products were called for rodent water, rodent waste exposure.

Nearly 2,000 items, the FDA is saying, yeah, you could have rat poop in it. Oh, that's disgusting. Gold Star Distribution said, yeah, I don't eat it, you'll get real sick. They said that the facility that was doing all that, where is it? Where's the stuff? Oh my gosh, Skittles, Jolly Ranch, Sour Patch Kids, everything. No illnesses

have been reported, and I've got to go look at my package as Sour Patch Kids immediately and see if this is rat poop Sour Patch Kids. We got a lot more on the way. Stick with us.

Ideal for your busy lifestyle on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back. We are at the bottom of this third hour.

Dana Lash with you. Make sure you go find us over at Substack as well. Lots of good stuff up there. Always. So a couple of things. You got the DOJ releasing. Well, this is a lot looking at this. Yeah. Wow. I was just making sure I wasn't reading it incorrectly. Three million pages. Deputy AG Todd Blanche, three million pages, full release of all of the files. They've made three million pages. They've made 3 million pages public a month past the deadline. And it also includes 180,000 images and 2,000 videos.

Wow. And there's a lot of redactions, though, that Congress had mandated. So there are a lot of redactions in it. But they said that they had that deadline, that Congress, remember they had the deadline, which also seems kind of weird because three million pages, that's a lot. You would have to use AI to go through it and get all the victim's names out and all of that, which I don't think anybody ever had a problem with redacting that. But people want to know the names of some of these individuals. And so the, I don't, again, I don't mind the redactions of

the victims, but the other people, I don't know. But then there are people who say, it was like, you know, McCarthyism. Joe McCarthy wasn't wrong, though. So stop. Stop saying McCarthyism. He wasn't wrong. History's proven him correct. Stop saying McCarthyism like it's a pejorative. So the, man, that's a lot of pages. Three million pages that people are going to be able to go through. So, but the redactions they said are probably going to be, you know, frustrating for some people. I can't, and that's an insane amount of images.

So far, some of the stuff that they said is that Bill Gates was asking for, apparently Bill Gates asked Epstein for antibiotics to give to his wife. One of the things was because they were trying to say that he had an STD from Russian girls.

Wow. This is, I'm looking at, it's from, yeah, Epstein subject is Bill. good heavens and apparently now this is from Epstein I guess to this is weird so I'm looking at this email and it's like from Epstein to Epstein it's like he sent it to himself as what to create a paper trail I don't know but it was something that he was saying to Bill Gates and in the email it says to add insult to injury because it's an email where he's saying that you disregarded our friendship all that stuff

Oh man, I can't read some of this. Hang on. This is what happens when this all comes out live. All right. So he says to add insult to injury, you then implored me to please delete emails regarding your STD, your request that I provide you antibiotics that you can surreptitiously give to Melinda. Oh boy.

Can't read that. Can't read that one either. So, yeah, that's, that's, is that something that he actually said? Because the data on this email is weird. You see what I'm saying? I don't know if that's weird. That can't be true. It wasn't sent in, but it looks like it was written by Epstein, but it doesn't say it was sent to Bill Gates. So that's just, that seems like conjecture. This is why I hate when the stuff drops when we're live on air, because you can't read it and go through it, you know, all at the same time. But man, there's going to be some stuff in there. I think it's telling that she divorced him because she intimated that he was creepy, that Gates was creepy. And I'm wondering if that's, it's because of stuff like this.

wasn't that one of the things that she had said? 2,000 videos, 180,000 images. I want to know who's all in those images. That's the other thing. Goodness, that's a lot. So now they're going to be, they'll have a lot of material to go through. This isn't like that influencer,

the Pick Me influencer thirst photo where they got binders have already released stuff and they thought it was a big deal because they weren't really following the story. None of them really were. They just pretended to for clicks. and they got this big binder of stuff that they didn't even know it was already publicly available information. Remember that whole stunt? That was ridiculous.

Was it two years ago now? Good heavens. So that's some of the latest. So they dropped all of that. Now you also have the Senate that has to determine whether or not they're going to pass this continuing resolution again. Here we go. Back to it again. Or we're going to have another government shutdown. And that seems, I don't know. They got to deal with affordability. They have to deal with affordability, and they need to make sure, because there's some stuff in there that there's some tricks they're trying to pull with Obamacare, et cetera, that I don't know is going to be helpful for them to do this. But they've got to get, Republicans need to get ahead of the messaging on this, because think about the time. If you do another CR now, early spring, the next time this is going to happen is when, summer, and then the next time it'll happen is when?

fall literally right during the election. I guarantee you Democrats are going to do everything possible to have that timing set up just like that perfectly. So that when midterms come around, we're going to have this battle again. And they're going to set up some of the stuff to argue over now. So watch what they're doing. They're going to set some of that stuff up now. It's very telling. A few other things to hit as well.

This, let me pull this up. some of the media malpractice with, I was looking for one particular story. The number of media outlets that were running with the AI thing, that's something to note, was a lot more than what we thought previously. That actually should have been trending yesterday. I think every major outfit used that AI generated image that we had been talking about. Hmm. Interesting.

All of them did. Hmm. Like they're trying to push a particular message, isn't it? Like they're trying to push a particular narrative. Every one of them you were using that image. Nobody had any context on it either. But they get mad if you post a meme of them. But they literally will use AI slop and present it as being real and take it to the floor of the Senate.

or publish it on the front page of their newspaper. That's the stuff that they'll do. Yeah, Kane's like, I thought they hated misinformation. Well, they only dislike misinformation if it's a correction to the stuff that they're doing. Otherwise, they really do love misinformation. They have no problem with it. But the number, I was like sending myself some of these links, the number of entities that were using that is stunning.

It is truly stunning. And then we have this situation. I'm going to bring this up to as it relates to immigration. So this came in. The 2025 census data is now in. This is interesting. The Florida surge has slowed down. The Midwest has seen its first net domestic gain since 1991.

North Carolina is leading with over 84,000 new residents. South Carolina has over 67,000 new residents. And the people who fell into the bottom, California, New York, and Illinois. Do you know how many people left California from July 1st, 2024 to July 1st, 2025? if you had to venture a guess as to how many people left California? How many would you say in that year? 200,000? Over that. 229,077.

The number of people who left New York again, this is just from July of 24 to July of 25. 137,586. Illinois, now then there's a precipitous drop. Illinois saw 40,000, over just over 40,000 people leave. New Jersey saw almost 38,000 people leave. Massachusetts over 33,000. Louisiana over 14,000. Maryland over 12,000.

Colorado, over 12,000. Hawaii, almost 9,000. And Connecticut, almost 6,000. Now, the states that saw the biggest increases? North Carolina, Texas, South Carolina, Tennessee, Arizona, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Idaho, Nevada. So all of the big, bad blue states hemorrhaged people. And then all of the states that ended up getting everybody are red states.

Isn't that interesting, Kane? Well, I mean, for the most part, the top five are red states. Not surprising. Not surprising at all. Over two, almost 230,000 people left California. Almost 140,000 people left New York. That's insane. And you can see where they're all going.

that is something else. The other interesting thing is, too, remember when these states were dealing with late-term abortions and all this and everyone was saying, oh, everybody's going to leave if you do this? Well, that never happened. Seven of the top ten states for population growth are pro-life. All nine of the bottom ten

are states that have super lax abortion on-demand laws, like as birth control. goodness. They're going to institute an exit tax for California, aren't they? Yeah, I think they've done that. I think so. I mean, they're going to have to. And those people that are leaving, as cane notes, those people are probably the higher earners.

This comes right after you had Mandani hold a press conference saying that they're going to go after, like, very successful, profitable businesses. They're going to go after wealthy people. They said that those people need to pay more of their fair share, even though they've been paying most of the taxes by far over, what was it, over 90s. 94% of the taxes anyway. They've been paying the most of it. That's according to just Americans for tax reform and our revenue from the Treasury. So we can see who's paying what. Those are all going to be those states high earners. Their taxes are going to go up in those states because they're going to have to offset that. There's businesses leaving those states. All of it. The problem is, though, is when they come to states like Tennessee or Texas or some of these red states, that puts so much of a burden on the shoulders of a lot of these activists, and people who are, you know, registering voters because you're dealing with people who may, I mean, yes, they're leaving because they hate those policies, but they tolerated those policies for quite a long time. So they're not going to be as conservative as you. That's for sure. So that it leaves a lot of work for those people in those states to make the case, you know, to make the case for it.

When you're seeing what happens in Virginia, the stuff that they're doing in Virginia with how they're wanting to tax everything in Virginia? Oh my gosh. And of course, which we're going to talk about more next week, the horrible anti-second amendment legislation that they have been introducing. I mean, now they control their General Assembly. They have over 50 new tax proposals there. But they ran on affordability.

Yeah. They're taxing literally gym memberships. They're taxing streaming. They're taxing even dog walking. Well, and you're, your ride chair stuff too. Oh yeah. All the ride share.

Oh, that's on top of all the ride share stuff. They're also increasing taxes on guns and ammunition. Of course. And they're, they are increasing the sales tax. They're going to also increase 6% corporate tax. They're kicking all that up. As it relates to Virginia,

Yonkin left a big surplus. Like, I think it was three points. That's what I don't understand. Why are they doing this if they have a surplus? They have a surplus, yet they're going to, to and so it's clear that their future is to spend, spend, spend. So what they're trying to do is front load it. So they have all this money to spend, spend, spend. That's just awful. Awful. Over 50. Yeah, they have a $2.7 billion surplus, $2.7 billion surplus. And they have a

flush rainy day account is what they said. Yep. So, and they have a 6% corporate tax. That's going to increase. I mean, all of this is going to increase across the board. We're going to see an exodus in Virginia as well pretty soon. I mean, how do you go from Yonkin to Spanberger? How do you go from, you know, being flush to now you've got fees on everything, taxes on everything? And they're changing their existing structure as well. They're going to change, you know, per bracket. They're going to increase taxes on that as well. So that's a state that's going to join all the others really quickly here. go and need a quick news fix with a fun twist. Follow Dana's absurd truth podcast for bite size

and formative episodes, perfect for your busy schedule on Apple or wherever you get your podcast. You know, yesterday we were talking about Lady Gaga and she was performing and she was railing on ice and all of this stuff. And then it dawned on me. So she, I realized later that she was in Tokyo doing this. Why does that stand out? Because they have some of the, I mean, it's literally a zero illegal foreign residence plan. That's what it's called. They are so strict on immigration. And it just seems incredibly ironic that she was in Tokyo performing when they have

immigration policies that are 50,000 times stricter than that of the United States. And maybe if she had been aware of it, I wonder if she would have been like, you know, one of those protesters out in the streets. Actually, they don't have any protesters, you know, in Japan protesting this. but they have very, very tight immigration, very restrictive stances, and it is very skill-based. They are very tight with it. When they look at it in terms of employment, it's not like everybody gets an H-1B here. They very strictly look at it as it pertains to labor and they fill in where they need to, et cetera.

But they have some of the really, they have very, very, very strict. immigration policy. So it's incredibly ironic and completely brain-dud, I think, of her, to be in Tokyo, railing against it in the city of a country that has some of the strictest immigration policies possible. I mean, they make us look like, you know, open borders with how strict they are. Today in stupidity, Ken, what do we got? All right. It is Minneapolis's mayor, Jacob Fry. Juan, this is cut four. He has no clue how many illegal immigrants are in his community.

Listen to this. I got to ask you this. When you talked about just illegal migrants in a city, people across the border illegally, that's what people called them. I want to ask you, how many do you believe you have in your city at this particular moment in time? How many people that are undocumented are living in? Yes, sir. Are undocumented?

Do you have any idea? I don't know. No, I couldn't. I don't really have a guess. Oh, my God. First of all, he does know. Second of all, he doesn't want to cooperate. Third of all, that's why we're the problems. Folks, that does it for us today. Find us over at Substac, Chapter and Verse. I'll be out Monday and Tuesday, but back Wednesday, be traveling for work. Have a great weekend.
