I think it's really important that those conversations take place first in the spirit of partnership. We're not here to tell anybody, you must do X, you must do Y. We're here to say this is our perspective as your partner, as your friend. This is what we believe is the best way to achieve both your tactical and strategic goals. Government's not my friend. I don't know what he's talking about. That's Jake Sullivan, who was speaking, NSA's Jake Sullivan, who was speaking about strategy on Israel, saying, you know, we're not here to tell them what they have to do and what they shouldn't do.

But that's exactly what you were doing. That's why Blinken went over there in the first place. Twice, actually, first and second place. Welcome to the program. It is our last broadcast of this year. And you can stream the radio program around the country. You can listen to restarily, and you can also watch the live stream, the simulcast. Direct TV Channel 347.

It only took a year, but we got it memorized. Three huge numbers, 347. Direct TV, and you can also check it out YouTube. Facebook, lots of good conversation up on YouTube, and I hope you signed up for the newsletter, chapter and verse over at Substack. So we got a full studio today. We've got a lot of people. There's a lot of shenanigans. Steve is actually in Texas today. Normally he's kind of like a V-O-G all the way out in D.C., but now he's actually, he's here. We've got the whole show crew's here. I can see like just the tops of your little heads just over Santa's elves, just right over there.

All right. So lots of stuff to hit today. Just to get you kind of set up because we're kind of sliding into what, especially in an election cycle, there's always this weird Christmas season malaise. Thank heavens. I think we're due for some as it pertains to politics because we all know that coming up after the new year, everybody hits the ground running and it is crazy time because you have Iowa. Then you have New Hampshire. You get into your early states. Then you got Super Tuesday coming up. The campaign kicks off in earnest. And I have refrained from this point of spending an inordinate amount of time on the primary stuff with particular regards to these early states. Just because I don't want to inundate you with all this

stuff. There's just so much out there. And it's stupid up until four weeks until the votes are cast when it's not stupid. So we're going to start covering that more and more and we'll get into some of that. As it pertains to Israel, though, we talked about some of this yesterday. It looks like Hamas, there might be a split within their leadership. We'll see. We were given a little bit of the history of Hamas and Fata and the Palestinian Authority and the whole, you know, West Bank and Gaza, et cetera, et cetera, because it seems like the solution that the United States government wants to pursue is to force a group who rose in popularity because they didn't think that their neighbor to the north had any right to exist at all whatsoever on this planet. It seems to be that they want to

get a group that doesn't want to accept a two-state solution, never wanted to accept a two-state solution, literally has it in their charter not accepting a two-state solution to accept a two-state solution. Now, I feel like if you've ever tried to get a toddler to eat vegetables, this is like that on steroids. It's never going to happen. It's never going to happen. You're never going to make this happen. But there seems to be one guy, and we were talking about him, Hamad, the one Hamas, who was living in the one Hamas leader. I think there's. several. All of them, though, were living in Qatar. And he left his big, oh, fancy, swanky palace in Qatar. And I think he was going to, did they ever say it was Lebanon, Algeria? I have no idea why.

Maybe Mossad was hunting them down. I don't know. And ended up leaving. And he was saying, okay, well, we could be, you know, prevailed upon to recognize Israel. But the others aren't. I mean, the other, the other spokesperson literally went out there in October, or no, it was November 1st. He went out there November 1st. He was like, we're going to continue to do this. you're going to have a million October 7th. This is never going to end. We're going to keep doing this. We're going to keep resisting.

I don't resisting what, like getting free land, getting, you know, free infrastructure. Oh, I'm going to resist getting all these free things. It's like resisting Santa. The irony, though. It's like resisting Santa for Christmas. I mean, you literally got infrastructure, sewer systems, water systems, sewage treatment plants, water treatment plants, greenhouses, industry, left for you. As I said yesterday, it's like water.

into a turnkey house given to you for free with all the furnishings and all the fixings, fully stocked fridge and everything else. It's like doing all of that. And you're still going to complain. You're still going to complain and moan about it. For what? What are you rebelling against? You got your land. You got all this stuff. Like, what else is there? Oh, we just don't think they should exist. And as you know, that's why Hamas got more popularity than Fata. And to the point where they won elections in 2006 after the unilateral withdrawal in 2005, it's why they ended up actually encroaching on Palestinian authorities authority in West Bank with Fata, because the leader of Fata is leader of Palestinian Authority.

So they suspended elections. That's why they haven't had elections because they enjoyed. I just went over with you yesterday, the survey showing that people still like Hamas. Insane. But that's the way it is. Gazans felt overwhelming justification for the October 7th attacks. They felt as though there had been a resistance, a rebellion, and this was the next step. That's troubling.

Now you can see why Jordan doesn't want to accept any. refugees. You can see why Lebanon doesn't want to accept any refugees. You can see why Egypt, the Rafa crossing. You can see why that's shut down. They don't want to accept any refugees. There's a reason why. And it has nothing to do with the, with the identitarian battles that people want to wage. It has nothing to do with that. I mean, unless you want to say that all the Arab leaders in the Arab states that don't want to take any of these refugees are themselves racist, it has nothing to do with that. It has, they don't want to, they don't want to bring people who have been generationally waged to think that terror is a form of

policy and diplomacy. it makes sense now so that's one of the things that that we are watching the other thing that we're watching i got a lot of we got some cultural stuff that we have to uh to hit as well the economic aspect of this let me pull up the we're going to get to some of the economic aspects of this remember that the um video that we posted yesterday i did not use that woman screenshot enough the dorrance dance troupe company from new york city remember them Kane really enjoyed them

he wrote he told me later it really got him into the Christmas season why do you do that what why do you lie I didn't lie

you said it was it was festive okay all right let's go with it let's do that I might be slightly exaggerating

that's just miss speech though right there's no such thing as lies anymore it's all miss speech oh I miss speech that's what it was

so Doran's dance the New York City based tap company. Okay, can I stop for one second? I swear I'm going to get through this segment. The nutcracker should never be tapped. No, oh my gosh, Juan hates me. Hates me to death. We're going to get cited by somebody from, so, and then the guy with the suit with the flour on his head, comes out. That's, what is this? This is like, I've never done acid, but I'm pretty sure this is what it's like. Is this, and then this chick who cannot keep her mouth close to save her life. What is that? Oh my God.

Gosh. If you saw this in your dreams, you'd wake up sweating. You absolutely would. You would wake up in a sweaty mess. If you saw this in your house, you'd call the police. Because I just don't think it's meant to be tapped. I'm a purist. I've never going to stop complaining about it enough. Never. So I do appreciate that it's kind of old school tab. And it's not like the Savian Glover type. Although I like the Glover type poofing. I think it's great. So anyway, so this dance troupe, kind of interesting this group, it's a New York City-based type. Dents Company and they did the Nutcracker Suite in the White House. I wonder who buffed the floors after that, by the way. They also, I don't know if you're aware of their little website. They all aware of that. So they have a whole bunch of DEI stuff on their website. And they also have a page dedicated to teaching white people to check their privilege. Have you checked your privilege, Kane, for the half of you that's white?

Have you checked it today? I'll check it every day, I think. like when they say check your privilege what does that mean? I have a very beavis and butthead understanding of this honestly I have no clue is it like a card that you can swipe no I think so is it like if

I'm just well hold up it's like if I go to Costco buy mass quantities and then I go through the checkout do I get to oh wait a minute now move over Amex and then I take out my white privilege card and I swipe it and I get to leave and then it just charges the ether is that what it is no I don't think that's how it goes

I'm just curious because I always hear check your white privilege. Is it a parcel perhaps that one must check at the door? I don't think that's it either. Like the nuclear football that the president always carries around and he's got a dude to carry it for him? I mean, it sounds like that could be right, but I don't think that's right. Do you have somebody to carry your white privilege for you? Or is that like a bougie thing to ask? That's ultra white privilege there.

That seems like that would be super white privilege. Almost as white privilege is demanding no one else can be armed, but you can afford the armed security. I'm just, I'm just curious. what checking white privilege means. I mean, growing up poor and having to eat gravy, milk gravy and biscuits every single day being raised by a single mother who worked three jobs. I don't know. Like, is that white privilege? Is that white privilege? I'm not quite sure. Not being able to afford notebook paper when I went to elementary school. Is that white privilege? Because if that's white privilege, my gosh, what's above that? Like, what's white exaltation? Is that, do I have to go to a level higher

in order to be able to afford notebook paper? You know, because my white privilege has afforded me so much. curious. So they have this whole page talking about checking white privilege. And then they state being mindful of who slash what is financially supporting the candidates you vote for. And then they link to BLM and this other organization S-U-R-J, which is

dedicated to, quote, organizing white people for racial justice. Now, I know that this was unintentional, but they sound like the clan. Did they mean to? I just accidental. Accidental. So that seems like a real

nice group you hired there. That's all that you couldn't find anyone else. You're telling me that there is not a dance group. Does everybody, this is the nature of DEI, everybody's got to be involved in this hustle now. That's great. We love that you can rearrange guts, Dr. Smith, but where do you stand on DEI? Where do you stand on CRT? Where do you stand on these items? Well, because that's actually more important than your gut arranging skills, Dr. Smith. You laugh, but we're going for that. You know this, right? That's right where we're heading. You're going to be going, one day, heaven forbid, you're going to be going to a doctor, and you're going to be trying to go to the most qualified cat out there.

But they are going to determine who is qualified by if they can bend their knee to the point of like bending it into a noodle. Like if they can, you're going to, they're going to be judged on how well they obey as opposed to how talented they are as a medical practitioner. This is already happening. This is coming. this is coming well i really hate white people does that make you're hired i mean i'm just that's kind of like it it's like it's like why does it even have to be a thing can you just tap tap dance for the love of all things holy can you just do the damn nutcracker can you just do that it's so simple why does everything have to be made annoying golly there's enough drama in the world

all right so some of the other stuff we're hitting today some somebody be headed the devil shrine in Iowa. And the devil people are like, that's so hateful. Can you believe they did that? It's so mean to the devil? Like I don't, we're going to talk about that coming up. Also, dude, literally, there's a 50-something year old dude who competed against like high school chicks.

And as he identified as it's a long story. That happened. Can I identify as whatever I want? because, Kane, you've got to fly Southwest. You're going to identify as a high-calorie person, high-calorie human. To get that extra seat. Yeah, you're going to identify so that you can get three seats. It's right.

It's buy one, get one free. Can I identify as a billionaire and go into the bank and just be like, where's my check? If it's not in my account, you are mean to me. And I can be like, I am a black billionaire. You're racist and mean. See? There's like all kinds of stuff we can do. All right, we got a lot on the way as we move our partners over at the head rest safe.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Was that a Steve selection? Is that why you were jamming over there? Is that your Christmas jam? That's your Christmas jam? That's your Christmas game. Yeah. Steve is he's rocking over there during break. So Coca-Cola has recalled

2,000 cases of drinks due to potential contamination. That's a lot. It's not just Coke either. It's geez, die-coq too? Fanta? 2000 cases of Sprite, Diet Coke, Fanta, in the Deep South, because of potential foreign materials. Is that, like, more or less dangerous than, like, the actual soda? The foreign materials in the can. I'm curious. They said that the specific places that they're looking at are Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida. They said that the cans may contain a foreign material, and they don't tell you exactly what it is.

Like, can we talk about, like, fingers and toes. Like, when you say foreign material, what, like, what are we talking about here? Like, that can be, like, a whole bunch of stuff. Like, what does that mean? A naked dude was found a top... Oh, this is a horrible story. I don't even want to read this. Why is this in headlines?

Oh. It's Friday. Yeah. It's right before Christmas. I'll have to say your prayer. So this dude decapitated his mom. And then, I guess, tried to hide her body by laying on her naked. This is in Jersey Shore.

Oh. I don't even want to talk about this story anymore. It's so gross. Everybody in Jersey probably knows about it now, but I don't want to talk about it anymore. Uh, so let's, I don't like some of these headlines today. I am dissatisfied. If news media outlets are slashing jobs, maybe they can learn to code. Actually, you know what's going to happen.

The algorithm is going to code them. News media outlets slash record jobs, 2,700 in 2020. The Hill says more are expected as the cuts grow. The outplacement. They said that it was the firm Challenger, Gray, and Christmas. Somebody's last name is Christmas. That's kind of fun. Mr. Mrs. Christmas's son or daughter.

They found media companies overall have made 20,324 cuts so far this year. It's the highest to date total since 2020. And it's in the new subcategory, the firm tracks. They've lost almost 2,700 jobs, including broadcast digital and print. You know why? Because it's the new Minuteman. You don't need it. The internet has displaced it.

We'll talk about that some coming up. Stick with us. So have you ever browsed in incognito mode? It's probably not as incognito as you think. And why would it be? I mean, incognito mode like the Chrome browser itself. is Google product, and Google has made its fortune by tracking your movements online. There's even a $5 billion class action lawsuit against the company in California where it's accused of secretly collecting user data. Now, Google's defense is that incognito does not mean invisible. So how do you actually make yourself as invisible as possible online? Well, you use ExpressVPN. Turns out that even in incognito mode, your online activity still gets tracked and data brokers still get to buy and sell your data. One of those data points is your IP. address.

A lot of big cities are having the problems in San Francisco, but it does feel like, you know, Republicans, conservatives, they try to make that the avatar for what's wrong with Democratic policies.

What is it about San Francisco? And also, those are very real problems that San Francisco has. How do you even start to address them? Well, I mean, first you own the issues and then you start to address the issues. But look, they've been on a doom loop about San Francisco ever since Nancy Pelosi became speaker. Yeah. I mean, remember, California is Nancy Pelosi's the speaker of San Francisco. You got Kamala Harris, who was a former senator from California.

California has outperformed the American economy. Doom loop sounds like a thrash metal band name for a bunch of cantankerist grammarists. That's what it sounds like. We got little Donnie Hathaway playing there, wink, wink smile. little Donnie Hathaway. Shake a hand. Shake a hand, ladies and gentlemen.

It is the Christmas jam. So welcome back to the program, bottom of the hour. That's Gavin Newsom. That's your favorite Democrat mayor. He was on with, what's that dude's name? Seth.

Seth Myers. Can I just ask a question that's completely irrelevant to what we're about to discuss? Is he wearing velvet? Was he in a turtleneck or was that a velvet jacket? Because you shouldn't be wearing a velvet jacket unless you're at dinner or you're in a cigar bar. And does he have the sleeves

pushed up? Like what's up? Like what is up with that? I'm just curious. Yeah. So I'm, I'm, I'm, not Gavin Newsom. Yeah, Seth Myers. Is that, I guess it's a jacket. I guess it's that. That's stuck out to me. I think he's in a turtleneck. He didn't, no. Is that a turtleneck? I don't like dudes in turtlenecks unless they're by the fire. Bothers me. Just the little thing. So Gavin Newsom, somebody gave him a Gen Z dictionary because he used the phrase Doom Loop. Somebody told him that. And I love the discussion that they're having. It's like, how dare you point out our

crappy city? Like literally it's crappy. It's everywhere. I mean, they had a poop map for crying out loud. Try to say that without, you know, elevating the vowels in that word. You can't. It's impossible. But when he says Doom Loop or that it's, oh, it's not, you know, they tried to use

it as an avatar because it is. I mean, Gavin Newsom was mayor of San Francisco. The reason it is an avatar of Democrat policies. I mean, San Francisco was like the city. Wasn't it at some point, Kane? Like in the day, whenever that was? When was it? Back in the day. Ah, yes. B-I-T-D. Back in the day. That's right. So it is the avatar of all of their policies. I mean, everything that they wanted, all the gun control, all of the kittens and sunshine. Let's have the open-air drug markets or whatever. All the stuff. They had needle exchanges. let's do the high taxation, let's do the high property taxes, the sales taxes, the business taxes, the tourist taxes. All the taxes. Let's do all of it. It is the avatar and it's failed miserably. Now they're mad that you're pointing it out.

Well, how dare you point out our failures? You can't do that. You can't use the example of one of the biggest and generationally run Democrat cities and use that as a comparison against the city that's actually responsibly run and has good fiscal policy. How dare thou? Well, that's called comparisons. That's what you do. They know it looks bad. them and that it compromises them, which is why they don't want that comparison. But you don't even have to, okay, fine, you don't want San Francisco, let's use Chicago, let's use LA, let's use New York, let's use Philly, let's use St. Louis, let's use Houston, Dallas, can't give me a city, any city. Portland, ooh, we can totally sell Portland in there. I mean, if San Francisco, if you're mad that it's the avatar, then I will pick another Democrat-run city and they're all-democrat run. I will pick another city for you.

And we'll see how well that goes. It's just pretty fascinating. Yeah, he learned the phrase doom loop. What does that phrase actually mean? Doom loop. You looked it up. It came into the modern parlance of our time.

What, last year? A year ago. Yeah. So according to Investopedia, this is back in October of 2022, that Doom Loop describes a situation in which one negative action or factor triggers another. which in turn triggers another negative action or causes the first negative factor to worsen. I mean, I've heard of doom scrolling.

And the cycle continues. I hate the language. We're just dumbing everything down so badly. Doom scrolling. I've heard of that doom loop. So a bunch of negative things, you're not allowed to point those out. We're not in the doom loop. They are literally in a doom loop.

Exactly. I mean, you have the first doom of the feces everywhere, and then that loops into the needles everywhere and then that loops into the crime everywhere and then that loops into the high taxes everywhere and that loops into yeah nobody can buy any property anywhere and that loops into people are fleeing the state it's bad Steve is dying because of what he put in slack go ahead do it do boo there you go he was I could see him over there fidgeting I was like uh oh I look over in slack and there it is right there but not unlike not unlike San Francisco Then he also said this. This is the second part of Gavin Newsom's.

I guess he thought he was cool by going on a late night show that only grandparents watch. But okay. Audio sound bite five seal to play. I think we need to assert ourselves. We got to be more assertive. And frankly, Republicans, man, they've been defining the terms. CRT, DEI, ESG. No one even understands what these things mean.

And we're on the defense. You made a lot. I think the most important issue for our kids is drag shows and trans issues, not gun violence in this country. I mean, on all of these issues, we're on the right side. We just not need to get on the other side of our anxiety and doubts and go on the offense. Okay, so you know what those letters mean because you literally made them up. Your side made that out. Let's start with CRT, Critical Race Theory, Frankfurt School of Marxism.

This goes all the way back to Derek Bell in the 60s. And that's why in 2012, when I first wrote a story about Derek Bell and Barack Obama and how Barack Obama under, I mean, it was basically a mentoree of Derek Bell. That's why it was so big because he was mainstream. streaming critical race theory, which was supplanting identitarian politics, identity politics for the fiscal warfare, the economic socioeconomic statuses that you would always see divide everyone. They were supplanting the identity politics for that.

It's still the same formula. It's just a different variable and they were mainstreaming that throughout college campuses beginning in the 60s. So that's something that y'all came up with. Like, y'all literally wrote books and called it Criticol Race Theory. We didn't come up with that. You all did. We didn't. We're busy. people. Like we're trying to like pay taxes that you keep inventing and, you know, working and raising kids. We don't have time to keep track of all your alphabet creations. And then there's DEI. And

you guys came up with DEI. We didn't do that. That does not, that's not something that conservatives sit around and think about. Kane, how can we do diversity? What does it even mean any more? Diversity exclusion and idiocy. How can we do that? How can we create that and implement that in all of our workplaces? You know what Kane? You know what we need to have for the show? We should have a diversity officer to make sure that we have diverse ammo and you know coffee

coffee blends and liquor 2, 2, 3, 5, 5, 6. Make sure we have 9 mil like a variety. Yeah, like a variety. I feel like that that's like truly representative of America today, you know.

But his last little quip there when he says, you know, they're focusing on drag shows and the big thing and knock on violence. Well, first off, let's just The presupposition is that gun violence is the number one killer of kids across the country. And as we've talked about, it actually isn't.

The only way that the CDC can get that figure is that they inflated all the way up to like, well, they reduced it to 19. It used to go up to 20, you know, 20-year-old babies. But it goes up to 19. They include 18 and 19-year-olds. When you break down all the FBI uniform crime reports going all the way back to 99 up until current time, what you find out is that the majority of those crimes, particularly with illegally possessed, handguns, it's all 18 and 19 year olds, and it's all drug and gang violence. Now, when it concerns minors, it's still drug and gang violence. And then when you remove all of those variables out of the,

when you remove all of those numbers, all of those cases specifically out of the minor age group, then it drops down to like fifth or sixth place and drownings and automobile accidents and accidental poisoning and really opioid crisis, all of that stuff takes precedent. But they include the drug and gang violence of 18 and 19 year olds to overwhelmingly drive that statistics so they can use that as the basis for more gun control policy. So you have that on one hand. But then the other hand, too, is something that you just brought up. I mean, if you're really concerned about the lives of kids, why in the ever-loven world are you letting all these repeat offenders out re-offending over and over and over again? I mean, the superintendent of the

Chicago PD said just a few years ago, it's the same 1,400 people that are driving 89% of the violent crime in Chicago and the police were disheartened because they keep arresting the same people over and over again. I mean, they're literally on a first name basis with these people. They know the criminals. They're on a first name basis with the criminals. They know the criminals's family. I mean, it's like a cartoon. They know these people so well and they just keep catching them because they keep reoffending and then they get out. They get a wrist slap and then they're out on probation. This happens all the time. And here's something else. If they really cared about the lives of kids, then why would you not include, why would you not make sure that you have

a mandatory maximum for a lot of these young violent offenders? Like that Vondra at Myers case in St. Louis. You all remember this? This is the case of a kid. This dude was 14 years old. He already had a juvie record that was multiple pages long, violent record. And he was supposed to be, it was like a quasi-house arrest. He was supposed to be in his house when the sun went down. He wasn't supposed to be out and about. He had an ankle monitor on, and there was an off-duty, plain close police officer who and this was what was this in tariff

park uh off duty plain close police officer who happened to be walking by a known drug house and he saw von der at meyers and saw his ankle brace going in and uh try to follow up on it von der mires turned around shot at the cop the cop returned fire and killed him von der r Myers was able they let him out without nothing what was it like 10 percent 10 percent of one percent of his bond to get out for a felonious that activity when in reality he should have actually, I wrote a whole bunch about it at the time, he should have actually been in jail. He should have been detained at that point. And the fact that they didn't, because they thought it was more merciful to let him out in the street to get killed

than it was to keep him detained in jail where he'd still be alive today. That's what your restorative justice gets you. Restorative justice kills more kids than anything else. And that's what Gavin Newsom supports. That's the epidemic that's plaguing youth today. And his party is the number one driver of it. So I would love for someone to challenge them that on a debate stage, but you know, you've got to kind of know this stuff a little bit beyond getting the Gen Z dictionary of Doom Loop. So dumb. These people are walking Doom Loops. So that's, we're already like, we're already winding down to the bottom of this first hour. I got to do, I got to do something first before. So you guys remember when I did

the amazing renaissance drawing of cane. So, look, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the thought of, then the thought was, well, the thought was, well, prove to me that this is not nepo baby stuff. and I will draw my stuff is better so I drew one it's a renaissance portrait of cane I mean this could go for millions of dollars this is I mean look I even included the crosshatch that I learned in junior

high art school I put my skills to use look at your background dude it's great look at the background it's like diamond plate nope right isn't it note the detail on the name I mean there's so much care on this look how much I shaded his lip you know the biggest sales pitch for me is the fact that there's No spit on it. No spit.

There's no spit on this at all. Right. It's just Sharpie. No spit. I think it makes it worth more when there's no spit on it. Yeah. That's just me. And then I added the little fun brought to you by probiotics because he never shuts up about it.

So I put that at the bottom. I mean, if you compare this to what Hunter Biden does, you don't even know what does that look like. It looks like a petri dish. It looks like he dropped his crack pipe in a petri dish. And then that's what came up of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This, there's a face on it. he's got his cans

those are his those are see his eyebrows you can't see if you're listening but the cans cans are just your headphones for headphones yeah yeah I probably should have like clearly articulated that didn't I just now realized you know so I mean this is

this is the million dollar piece so I was thinking about like what's the best way to do it so I asked Lorraine I said hey get me a list of people in the YouTube chat and I'm just gonna like I'll I'll print their names out and I'll just like I put it up or a number on and then we'll just like randomly pick a number. So I did that.

I don't know if the YouTube chat was aware of it. So I did so she got me the names and numbered them and then just I randomly picked it was number 16. I randomly picked the individual that I picked they go by the name of crack and yeah. So they're going to get the user they because you know people can't use their real names anymore because the FBI is going to that now they've been expanded, they're going to come get you. So the user of Cracken in the YouTube chat is going to get this million-dollar renaissance painting or drawing with the Sharpie. So that is the individual.

Their name is Cracken. They are a regular participant in the chat, and I'm going to send this to them. Let me be the first to say. K-R-C-E-N. Can Cracken-Lations? That is such a dad joke, but I'll let it slide because you say that so nicely for my Renaissance portrait that I did. I appreciate that. Thank you.

So, I mean, this is like going to be in a museum cane later. You're going to be like the Mona Lisa. They're going to be like, what is he thinking? You may be exaggerating a little bit. Are you saying that I am not as good as Hunter Biden? I'm just saying that piece may not end up in a museum. You don't think you have art taste, sir. I went to the Fizi one time, so now I'm an expert.

Your talent is superb, though. Yeah. So congratulations to Cracken. You're going to get this beautiful, beautiful. I'll show it one more time, Renaissance portraiture. We have a lot more on the way. We got today in these United States coming up. You don't want to miss it.

So coming up in our second hour, I don't know what's happening. No, coming up in our second hour, have you seen that Civil War, the Civil War movie, the new modern civil war. It's made by people who literally have never been in the wilderness, have never left, like an urban area. They have no clue. It's one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. We've got to make fun of it egregiously because that's what we're good at. And then Stephen Moore's going to join us later on in the program as well. Back in just a moment. If you go somewhere, communism wins. Our friends over at Hillsdale College, went to wish you a Merry Christmas. And thank you for all of your support for their amazing institution this past year.

I see a good and decent man in Joe Biden, who united the country, and all the evidence has shown that he loved his son. His son was on hard times, and he bought his son a truck, and his son paid him back.

He loaned his brother money, and his brother paid him back. Joe Biden is just a decent American who fought MAGA-ism and is seeing them use this against him. And as I said, in this sick and perverse way. Okay, I've got so many major issues with us. First off, welcome to the program. You're okay, Kane? We're not even into the second hour yet.

Are you all right over there, little buddy? You okay? I'll make it. Yeah, so welcome back to the program. Dana Lashire with you. That's Eric Fartswell, who, I got to turn this fan off. Eric Fartswell, who was trying to make it like, Joe Biden is just, you know, he just loves his son, guys. He loves his family. He's just a family guy.

He's just, you guys are so mean to him. He's such a great dude. And Hunter was, you know, he just needed some money. He was short on money. You know, if that happens, it is a fact that one tends to run out of money if one spends all their money on hookers and blow. You know that spending $5 million on hookers is bad. That's like a, that's a lot of. That's a lot of, of money on hookers and blow. I mean, at some point, are you like, don't you just stop and go, okay, I've had enough hookers and blow? I mean, how much more? What else can you do? You know what I'm saying?

Like, what? Right? Right? I mean, come on. At some point, I, like, when is that too much? I mean, that's how much he paid $5 million. Was it over $5 million? I think it was.

$5 million on hookers and blow. At some point, you're just. like okay that's enough that's enough money can you find a different hobby now like pickleball's really taken off it's like a it's like a big thing right now pickleball right then all of a sudden he's like a pickleball champ with the sweat band around his head and everything so that's why he went broke he went broke because he spent all of his money on drugs and you know the escorts the ladies of the night no not vampires i that's why he went broke But I love the spin that they're putting on this.

And by love, I mean, I find it amusing, the spin that they're putting on this. So that is the, that's Eric Fartswell who was trying to make that defense there. Why haven't they moved? By the way, why haven't any Republicans in the House? Because you had Hunter Biden ignore a subpoena. And yet, I have not seen anyone start contempt proceedings. yet. I mean, that's what they have to do. They have to choose to do that in committee and then they kick it over to DOJ or whatever and then it goes from there. I haven't seen them start any content

proceedings yet. Why? It's Friday. Why? Why is this not been done? I mean, this is so stupid. Why has this not been done yet? I just get so tired of this, the inaction. Like with the NDAA stuff. Yes, I get that it's a temporary thing. Oh my gosh, I've had some fun conversations. conversations with some of my friends. Some of my friends who were like 80, 20, maybe 90, 10 on a lot of things. And one of my friends was saying, well, you got to remember, Dana. We just, we, we have a one seat majority in the house. We just had another guy who's going to retire too, by the way. We're on track to lose the house in 2024. And he said, you know, we only got a one seat majority in the house. We don't have any, you know, I mean, this is all of this is, you know, all these things, all of this is, is,

result of those election choices. And there are a lot of people mad about NDAA. But maybe that'll change. Wait, is that going to be enough to get it? Here's the other thing. I'm going to say something unpopular. And that's what I'm supposed to do. The one presidential candidate who could hit this harder than anybody else who knows what it's like to be surveilled or ridiculously unlawfully targeted by the FBI, whether it is setting up, uh, traps about Russian collusion, whether it's about leaking stuff to the DOJ, working with a FARA violating Apo research firm that advocates on behalf of Russian oligarchs fusion GPS, lying to a FISA court, illegally obtaining wiretaps on private citizens just because of their choice of

where to spend their time as a campaign volunteer. Instead of selling NFTs, Trump should be beating the drum on this. Instead of selling NFTs at a $100 a pop in a Biden inflation period right before the holidays and NFTs are, I hate all of NFTs because it's all garbage. Instead of doing that, he should have been beating the drum about 702. This is a temporary thing. They're going to have to deal with this again coming up after the first of the year. I don't want to hear about. selling pieces of a suit. I don't want to hear about DM NFTs. I don't want to hear about I'm mad because so-and-so didn't endorse me. I don't care. There is one candidate that has the ability because of what they specifically went through to make a very compelling argument

to people in the house to stop the permanent expansion of FISA abuse and he's not doing it. don't talk about being a fighter for the people if you're not fighting for the people and if you think that this fiza stuff doesn't concern you you go tell that to the moms and dads who were getting surveilled by the FBI because they spoke out at school board meetings go and tell the people who got detained for unlawful parading or the people who didn't even go to the Capitol on January 6 who were visited by the FBI some even arrested go and talk to some of them hell you got people sitting in jail cells now is any ft any nfti money being raised going towards them their legal causes no oh you're not supposed to say anything about this why because the pimpleton

influencers they get but hurt if you do and you ain't moving the needle if you're moving the needle you'd be winning elections and you're not winning elections there's a reason why we say aOC's influence only extends to the reaches of her twitter account i got to tell you some people on the rider the same damn way. So there's the truth of the matter. And I get aggravated about this because it's like everybody ignored it until, I mean, you knew it was coming. It is a temporary thing, though.

But you know, they're going to vote to make this permanent. They're going to vote to make it permanent. And it's bad. The FISA abuse in this. To say nothing of the taxpayer-funded abortion on demand and military and all this other stuff. It's bad. Now, have you guys heard of the Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson? You guys heard of him. Check out what they did in Chicago. Brandon Johnson announced plans to eliminate the city's high achieving selective enrollment high schools to boost quote unquote equity despite promising not to do that during the campaign.

board of education has proposed shifting back towards neighborhood schools so they're going to get rid of the high achieving selective enrollment high school because it's not fair to the other kids you don't get picked so instead of helping students achieve or even opening more schools instead of doing that they're lowering the bar to make it easier on themselves that's not Excellence in equity are not the same thing. Equity is a rejection of excellence. I mean, equity is, I mean, I don't know what they think they're doing here, but you're not going to get excellence by, you're not going to get excellence by making everyone equal in mediocrity. And that's what equity is, making everyone equal in mediocrity.

So that no one is, that's equity actually, you have to incorporate actual discrimination into it. Good grief. No wonder, you know what? I think of like stuff like this. No wonder there's that, did you guys see this? Let me pull this up. Who's all in this movie? It's that Civil War movie. It's the new civil, it's like this movie about the new Civil War or something like that. I don't know. Kirsten Dunst is in it. And who else is in this movie? Kirsten Dunst, her husband, Jesse Plemons. I was trying to think of what else he was in. He's in this movie. And it's supposed to be about, like, the factions, something, something, the factions in the United States are, all the states are fighting and it's an ideological battle, et cetera, et cetera. It's so ridiculously dumb. I don't know if you've seen. I don't want to play, I can't play the audio of it because they'll totally cite us, but it is so goofy.

this thing is so goofy. I'm trying to find my notes on this movie, so bear with me for a moment. Because I don't think it's out yet in theaters. Is it out in theaters? No, it would be Netflix. Oh, it's Netflix. That's right.

It's a Netflix movie. So, they have like a little video that they put out. And apparently in this film, some of the states, like, it looks like a, they think that Texas and California are going to somehow be aligned or something like that. It looks like the Northeast is beset by conservatives and progressives.

And the map, I don't understand. I don't understand it. It's Alex Garland Civil War. Jesse Plumice, Kirsten, Dunst, and some other chick, I don't know. Oh, it is in theaters on April 26. Yeah, it's in theaters, April 26th. And I was watching the trailer. I couldn't even get to the trailer.

like, yeah, there's a huge civil war that's going on, and it's all across the country. And they make the journalists, the heroes of the story, because they just want to talk about what's happening. The Western forces of Texas and California, and they show like these people all fighting and they act like, I mean, this is so unbelievably goofy. And I don't understand, there's not going to be any arbitrary in state line. I had a friend who said, you know what, it's going to be all regional and cultural Balkanization. That's what's going to happen. And it's going to be rural versus urban. That's what's going to happen. There's not going to be blue and red states. That's so stupid. Because that goes away because you have states like Illinois that it's all red, but then a blue city in Cook County in Chicago that runs everything.

So that's, and that's true in a lot of different states, honestly. This is so goofy, this movie. Why are they making something like this? And then, of course, the reporters are the heroes. They don't have a play. One of my friends goes, look at Nevada. Have these people ever been to Nevada? Nevada is not a lib state. Nevada is a zillion miles of desert and bitter cowboys with one liberal city that exists

to take Californians money. This is a city which literally should not exist according to the basic laws of nature. And once the water infrastructure is threatened, it's nothing but a source of refugees. Oh my gosh. This movie's going to flop. We got a lot more than way. We've got headlines coming up.

And now all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick 5. I was trying to repost a meme. All right. So the lockdown effect. Americans physical and mental

health has deteriorated by every metric since the pandemic. And they say that it's, you know, it's all the lockdowns and all of that stuff. That's what's to blame. They say that half of the world is going to have a mental condition by age of 75. I'm so tired of this. I am so tired of this. I am so tired of hearing that everybody, big pharma is trying to make you believe that you need all this stuff wrong with you so that you can take their pills forever. That's what they want. They released this. They surveyed 5,000 adults. And they track their changes in mental and physical conditions. Have you ever thought that maybe things are stressful because stupid people are also making things stressful?

We come in and create hard times. We're in that position right now. I don't know if people realize that, but that's where we are. So this is an NBC story. They're saying that race played a role in the sentencing of this 10-year-old boy for urinating in public. So this kid, he's a 10-year-old kid who urinated in public in August. He was sentenced to three months probation. and they said it's because he's black.

He's in third grade. He was arrested on August 10th after a police officer saw him relieving himself next to his mom's car when she was inside an attorney's office. And they said that anybody would have done the same thing or any child would have done the same thing given the circumstances.

There was no public restroom at the attorney's office. He had to go. There was no bathroom available to him. And I just, like, really? You got to get the courts involved for this? Now, is it a question of race? Or is it, like, there are some people in positions in this town. According to the story was he had to write a story about Kobe Bryant.

That's stupid. What is that about? That is stupid. That is so stupid. They said that he's not going to, they said it's probation. He's not going to have a criminal record. It's a two-page report. And he has to check in with a probation officer for once a month for three months.

That is so stupid. That is so unbelievably dumb. I just want to rage at this. This is ridiculous. they said that I mean he's 10 years old he's 10 years old his mom was inside she ran inside

oh my gosh she's 10 guys come on and it's a cenotopia in Mississippi I don't know like what their party makeup is there but I'd be shocked if the people running that town are Republican just saying just saying all right so

apparently Park Hill there's in Denver there's a neighborhood in Denver where somebody's been raiding houses and stealing ladies, panties. They said that some neighbors in this Denver community are on high alert. A man's been breaking into their homes and stealing women's underwear. He's called the Park Hill Panny Thief.

Way to give him a nickname that he's probably going to enjoy, guys. I mean, they said that he passed over PlayStation's computers, jewelry. Just took women's under. Yeah, just took women's underwear. What's the matter with you? Like, why are you not stealing any of the good stuff? Don't take, I'm not saying that as advice. An auto industry, I subscription fees, this is so dumb.

So you can pay monthly for heated seats and cruise control. Are you serious with me right now? That is so dumb. That's so dumb. We got a lot more on the way. Stephen Moore is going to join us. Speaking of business, coming up next, stick with us. So we finally got a new espresso machine.

the president's just announced at the top of the briefing. He's going to go to Milwaukee. He's going to talk about Bynomics, investing in America, what Bidomics has done for the American people coming out of the pandemic. We can't forget what happened when the president walked in. We saw a literally the economy at a tailspin. And so the president has been working middle class from the bottom up, middle out,

and that's what you've seen him do. And the data shows, as you just mentioned in your question, inflation is moderating. You see jobs created at more than 14 million jobs. Unemployment is at under 4%. All of those things is part of the economics, and you will certainly hear the president talk more about that over the next couple months as we finish out, certainly the year. Nobody believes that. Nobody's believing anything that they're saying about wage growth. No one's believing that when they look at the prices and how much more expensive everything is, particularly this holiday season.

You can check out the simulcash, T-O-347, direct TV, YouTube, Facebook, everywhere you can find video. Joining us right now, I've really enjoyed his article that he just wrote about The Magnificent Seven, and not just because it's one of my

favorite films, the original. I also enjoyed Fouquas remake, but I love the original. Magnificent Seven, talking about American business. Stephen Moore, who is the senior economist at Freedom Works, he also is a former Trump economic advisor. He joins us on Skype now. And I wanted, Stephen, first off, I thought this was brilliant. I thought

that the way that you, the way that you framed this piece was brilliant, and I just want to share that with the audience, because he talks about how nothing exemplifies America's tech industry dominance, more than the Magnificent Seven stocks. Amazon, Apple, Google, meta, Microsoft, Navidia, Tesla, and they single-handedly account for nearly all of the gains in the stock market this year.

And he adds that, which is to say we as American shareholders who own them have a net worth of nearly $10 trillion. They're not Japanese or German or Chinese. They're American. And yet, I love you say that the GM, the Standard Oil, the JP Morgan, all of that of our time. And they're not getting, Washington, it's like they don't, as you say, like Rodney Dangerfield said, they don't get any respect. And it's true. They really are denigrated. Talk to me about this.

I did. Good to be with you. Thanks so much for having me. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. So, you know, my wife does our investing. And so she put a lot of money in NVIDIA at the beginning of the year. She's just dancing a little jig right now because that company is just surging.

And all of these companies, though, you know, you mentioned NVIDIA. You mentioned Apple, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and others. And they have been so amazing. They're the high buyers. In fact, this year in the stock market, well more than half of the gains and almost three quarters of the gains have been attributable to those magnificent seven. So it's really for anyone with 401k plan or anyone with a retirement plan or if you just invest individually, these stocks are purring the market.

And you're talking about trillion-dollar companies. And it's great, as you said, these are American companies. Isn't it wonderful, Dana, that the companies that are leading the way on the new technologies, And we hope that happens also in the artificial intelligence and robotics regime are American companies. They're not Chinese. They're not German. They're not Japanese. They're made here in America. And look, I don't like the politics. I don't think you probably do either of some of these companies. You know, I don't like the fact that they discriminate against conservative voices like yours and mine. But if you just look at what they're doing for the economy, it's amazing.

It is. And I think that there's like an, I think some of the offset is that, you know, we'll get more people who are like-minded into those companies. well. I like the idea of, you know, kicking down the castle door and taking it over from the inside, talking to our friend Stephen Moore. You mentioned to that. Go ahead. That's happening a little bit. You know, we as conservative have really been putting pressure on these companies because they have been discriminating and trying to, you know, close down conservative voices. And now we're starting to really see more fair treatment. I mean, look what happened, obviously, with Elon Musk buying Twitter. And so we, we're starting to really see more fair treatment. I mean, look what happened, obviously, with Elon Musk buying Twitter. And so we, we're We do have options now that didn't really exist before. We need to build great social media companies on the right as well. That's a big challenge. That's why those like yours are so important with the voice that you give. You also get into, which I think is a very important point, because there's some of the monopolistic behavior that these companies engage in.

I mean, I think there's a difference in adopting some of the behaviors and then engaging in full-on pushing a monopoly in a particular market. Talk to us a little about that as well, because there is certain things. that happen in business? It just happens as the nature of business. So, first of all, one of the great myths of American history is that remember in the textbooks, you read about this, the quote, Robert Barron, you know, to Henry Ford's and the J.P. Morgan's and the people who really standard oil and those people. Well, you know, guess what? It turns out they weren't robber barons. They built America. How is it that we let them of our

greatest entrepreneurs who created literally hundreds of thousands of millions of jobs and created the rail industry, the oil and gas industry, the banking industry, all of these, somehow they were portrayed as evil people. Now, I'm not saying they were sane, but they really created American industry back a hundred years ago. And so now we have this new wave of great entrepreneurs, you know, people like Bill Gates and people like Steve Jobs and people like Elon Musk and they're being treated like their monopolists when in fact the most amazing thing both this is similar 100 years ago to today they kept saying oh gee henry ford he's a monopolist jp morgan he's a monopolist uh you know the steel industry people are monopolist guess what the prices of all

those things fell and what those entrepreneurs did was make those goods and services like cars available to middle class americans well that's exactly what's happened with these technology companies They're not driving up prices. They're driving down prices. I mean, my God, Google, you could search on Google for free. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I think we just lost the video there for Stephen.

We've been talking to Stephen Moore. Oh, there he is. We got his audio. His great piece, The Magnificent Seven, talking about these, you know, these big titans of American business. I always thought that was such a sneaky Marxist trick to get everyone to sort of turn on American business successes. It really was.

Exactly. That's exactly what it is. You know, when we, this is American that became the richest country in the world because we have free market capitalism and we have great innovators and great entrepreneurs. You know, that just think of something like Steve Jobs. I mean, he had this vision. I wouldn't be doing this interview with you right now for Steve Jobs, right? I mean, he created, he had this vision that every American would have this little device in their hand. And you could do video, you could do music, you could do, you know, phone calls, all these things.

you know, 30 years ago, who would have even imagined that? And so, you know, these are people who are, and this is, look, isn't it amazing that so many of the great inventions of the last hundred years, they came from American know-how and ingenuity. And I love that about America, and I want to see us lead the world in the next hundred years, not China. I think that's a great point, talking with Stephen Moore. I also think that particularly our allies, people who are like-minded with us. I mean, and I, we completely share the same opinion, particularly on suppression of conservative speech. But I don't want to get too ahead, too over my skis either and get to the point of denigrating an American business because some of these companies like Facebook,

like meta, you know, they didn't conform to China's request to participate in their market. And as a result, they're banned. I mean, China has their own, you know, Facebook meta equivalent over there. I think that's, you know, for all the problems, and I definitely have problems with them. I know you do as well. To me, that's, you know, okay, I get that, you know, maybe I don't, totally hate you, Mata, because that's a good thing. I feel like we don't want to get to the point where we're denigrating American capability too much because I feel like that's bait. It feels like we're being baited in a way.

Yeah, so it's a really good point you're making. So, you know, when you and I first got started in this industry, remember, it was Walter Concrite and, you know, CBS and ABC, NBC, you know, there were only a few media outlet, right? There weren't shows like this that we're doing right now. And so what's happened is proliferation of social media. And then irony is, yes, some of these companies try to quiet our voices. But for example, is there any way that Donald Trump could have been elected without social media? He was probably one of the greatest users of social media.

It's so amazing that most of the hottest websites out there and so on and social media channels are on the conservative side, not on the liberal side. We use it. Now, there are, you know, some pretty bad sites out there on the left. But we, we have ways of getting our voices heard now that we never did before. Yeah. Yeah. I completely agree with you on this. So this is a fabulous piece. And I did, I wanted to have you on to talk about it. You do note that there is a little bit irony, a magnificent seven, because in the, I remember the ending of it. Five of them didn't meet the best end. So I hope that that's not. Only two of the seven survived. So I hope that's where it parts. By the way, I did not invent the term magnificent seven. That's been out there for months, but they are magnificent. And we want to see them continue to prosper. And by the way, when you and I do this show five years from now, it'll probably be seven different companies, you know.

I would imagine so. I would imagine so. Stephen Moore, thank you so much for joining us. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year. And thanks for this great piece. Good to talk with you. We have more to come, folks, as we wrap up this second hour already. of the program. Yeah, Magnificent Seven is one of my

absolute favorites. Love the original. If you have not seen Antoine Fouca's remake and he's just a great director and Denzel Washington, Denzel is one of my favorite actors ever. He can, it has, forget all, everything that you've been fed by the left about identity politics, et cetera, et cetera. None of that has to do with it. He's just

I think the best, one of the best living actors we have. He is so amazing in this remake and the score is brilliant. If you've not watched it, I was watch it for whatever reason. have a habit of watching Magnificent 7 every Christmas season. Every Christmas, I watch Magnificent 7. Totally not a Christmas movie. I don't know why.

I watch both of them. I watch the original with Yulbrenner, Steve McQueen, and then I watch the Fukuqua remake. So good. All right, as we get moving, because we got today, oh, Florida Maine. We've got Florida Man coming up. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. All right. So first up, Let's see here.

I'm like being distracted. We have an elderly Florida man who was assaulted by his neighbors while. Do we have this in yesterday? So this is old. I'm not doing this one. A Florida man's in custody. He barricaded himself in a sewer pipe following a police pursuit in Kendall. This guy's also totally naked.

Again, video from the scene shows the moment the South Florida water management stood a robotic camera inside of the pipe to check the status of the dude. The guy started around 2 a.m. on Thursday. the man fled from Miami-Dade police. Police lost sight of him, and he disappeared into a sewer pipe. And then they sent a robotic camera into the pipe to check the status of the guy. And then they managed to take him into custody. He's being treated by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue at the scene. And they said they haven't released his identity or anything like that.

So, you know, I mean, a Florida woman, a porch pirate stole packages, and then planned to re-gift them for Christmas. Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah. So this, according to Polk County Sheriff's Office, this woman, Kensley Mott, was seen at the victim's home surveillance camera, walking up to the porch, taking numerous Amazon boxes, driving off in a red truck. She had her eye on the prize. She followed the truck. She followed this Amazon delivery truck all over this subdivision of Winter Haven, Florida.

And she just started taking, after they would deliver them, she would go up and start taking packages right off the porches on neighborhoods between, like starting at noon. broad daylight. They reviewed the surveillance videos. I guess, you know, people have like the doorbell cameras and all this stuff. So they started reviewing these surveillance videos. And they eventually found her at her place of employment, hungry howie's pizza. And when they asked her about this, she said, no, no, no, I'm regifting them. She's regifting the stolen items. And then she literally told police when they showed her the video footage, she goes, quote, what if it was just someone else who had my face? See? Now, wait a minute, sidebar. This is why I want a fake finger as a ring. That's right. The fake silicone finger. I want to wear it on the hand. So that way,

if something happens that I don't like or something like that, then I can just be like, see, there's an extra finger here. This is clearly AI. I've really thought about this. You know, I've done a lot of research on the silicone finger rings. You can't really get them on Amazon. I found like one really good one, but apparently they're not. for sale anymore. So I'm just saying, like, if you're into that business, that might be, you know, I'm just saying, that's going to be the way to get out of stuff right now, like, just get you a fake silicone digit, where it is a ring. And that way, you know, if you're on public and all that, and then it's something else, I'm just saying, you can be like, no, no, no, see, I don't have that many

fingers. That clearly is AI. Can they prove that you were wearing a fake silicone finger in the photo? No, they can't. They can't. I'm just saying. I'm just, I'm not like trying to encourage you to break the law or anything. I'm just saying it might be nice to have that, you know. I'm just, just a little extra. Anyway, they did, they did get her and arrest her and of course she was crying when they arrested her. Of course she was.

I mean, that is so, like you're following around a delivery truck. If you're the delivery driver too, do you note at one point that you're being followed around by the delivery truck? I'm just wondering. Yeah. I don't even know how to read this

headline. A Florida man pours eye drops on his nephew sandwich to make him, quote, puke his brains out. A Pinellas Park man is accused of putting eyedrops in his nephew sandwich in an attempt to make him sick. Golly. They said that

the witness, according to arrest report, a witness reported a customer asking for a bottle of vising eyed drops while purchasing food at an unnamed business on Wednesday. The witness told police that the customer identified as James Leach said he was having issues with his nephew hated him, and then

after handing him the eyedrops, the witness said he opened the bottle and poured it all over the meatball sandwich. The witness stated that that could hurt someone and the defendant responded by saying it would only cause him to, quote, blank himself and puke his brains out. And then he, I mean, and apparently there's video footage inside the business where you can see him doing all this stuff. And the nephew said that he ate a small part of the sandwich and didn't know it may have been tampered with. He didn't accept medical treatment. And the, I mean, what in the world? Like, what is wrong with you? I don't know how old the nephew is, but the guy who's 45 years old.

The guy, they arrested him, but the guy is like 45 years old. And I mean, I don't. Does it really do that? I don't know, man. Let's see here. This Florida woman, Florida woman was arrested for Walmart theft, drunken, hit and run crash in the same day. Flaker County, Florida, 46-year-old, Letteree and Emily. She gets in trouble for petty theft, and then she immediately right after.

DUI and Palm Coast, according to Flager County Police. Yeah, it's not a way to celebrate this season. Stick with us. Third hour on the way. It's a simple principle. You shouldn't pay the highest price in the world for drugs that your tax dollars have already helped create. We're already begun to secure fair pricing clauses and contracts for new COVID vaccines, three new COVID vaccines. And we recently proposed that when a drug company prices drugs so high, and Americas can't afford them, and those drugs, created by the American tax dollars, the federal government can step in and allow other companies

to make and sell that same drug for less because they did it here. This is all part of my administration's work to promote competition across our economy, to lower costs, to raise wages and improve care. Last week, we announced new steps to crack down on anti-competitive practices in health care. And we're going after what we call junk fees

like junk health insurance plans. Junk fees and junk health insurance plans. And oh my gosh, don't get me started about insurance. Don't get me started. That's Joe Biden, who's barely getting through those remarks. Welcome back to the program, top of this third hour. It is our last broadcast of this year. I'm back behind the mic on January 3rd, rested, and boy, oh boy,

then we're drop right into Iowa. I'll be dang. So, yeah, definitely rest up over this break. Again, you can listen coast to coast. You can stream the radio program, Channel 347, Direct. as well, YouTube, Facebook, all that good stuff. And don't forget the newsletter over at Substack, Chapter and Verse. So, okay, she says they're investing in three new coronavirus vaccines.

Are these actually going to be vaccines? That's a million dollar question. King, what's a vaccine? What's a vaccine? Yeah, just like for, you know, giggles. What's a vaccine? A vaccine? Well, traditionally, it's always been a part of the virus that's dead that is introduced to your immune system

so that your immune system can kind of learn how to fight it. For the purpose of... For the purpose of immunizing and, you know, keeping you safe, so you don't get sick. Okay. And it makes it to where you can't get the virus. Yeah, get the virus. Well, that's what they claimed, yes.

Well, but with regular vaccines, though, like with vaccines, you know, that they have previously, because it's not viruses, like kind of, you got to adapt. You can't really vaccine. Yeah, your body, there's really no vac. I mean, this is the thing that the MRNA vaccine actually tells your body to create the spike protein, that then your body has to fight, which is why this is such a dumb thing. Everyone knows that when you get the shot or the booster or a combination of them,

your body doesn't have an off switch for that. Like, they're saying it dissipates over time. No one's given any sort of time frame about it. But you could be going through long COVID because you have shots and boosters, because your body continues to make the spike protein that your body. body is trying to fight. So you basically put yourself through it longer by getting the theoretically you could. Right.

While the narrative continues to be, well, if I didn't get my 12th booster, boy, would my COVID really have been bad? Stop it. Yeah, that's not. Mm-hmm. So when they say they're investing in three new ones. No, thank you. So, technically what you're describing me is a therapeutic.

Yeah. So that's technically By the scientific definition I just want to make sure we're all on the same page It's definitely not A vaccine No I wouldn't even say it's a therapeutic

Honestly I mean that's the closest thing we can call it But I don't even think it's a therapeutic I don't know what the benefits are Like Ivermectin was a therapeutic Oh we can't say that on YouTube Because the YouTube fascists get all butt hurt And the button pushing baristas Who work at YouTube

We're like I guess we're going to try to demonetize you Dana you know what I really want to tell you to do to go I want to tell you to do something unflattering to yourself that's what I want to say no one can hear me just in case they can though that's

yeah that's what they can do to themselves so it's three new things that are not going to work okay and how do they even know the like how do they even know the variant

that we're supposed to be experienced in this particular season and then the next one. Because that's really what the vaccine is supposed to prevent. That's what I was just thinking of how I was going to ask you that. Like, so do they know what's coming? Because, okay, so that's what they get wrong with the flu shot. Like every, I don't get flu shots. I've gotten a flu shot.

Like when I was younger, in my entire life, I've gotten three flu shots. And every time I got the flu shot, I got the flu. All the times that I didn't get a flu shot, I never got the flu. That's just my lived experience. I got the shot once for the flu And this was back in 2010 Got the flu Haven't had the flu

I got the flu so bad One year when I got the flu It was our first year moving here And I was like maybe I guess I'll get it I don't know And I had the flu so bad Like Glenn Beck Who I worked with at the time

Was so concerned He was calling like Do you need to go to the hospital Like I can I'm gonna curry Currier over What did he like some stuff It was like a ZPEC?

I'm gonna curry this over I'm gonna have a courier bring it over. You know, keep me up there, because I had like a super high fever. I had like a 103 degree fever. It was so bad.

And it spiked up even higher than that. Like, it got really bad. Like, I was in an ice bath. It was so bad. And, yeah, it was,

that was like the worst I have ever. I've never been as sick as when I had the flu that time. And we moved down here. I had never been so sick of my life. And it took me like weeks to fully recover. I was out of, I was off.

air for like a week and a half and then when I went back on air I was so weak it was so bad and I had a stupid you know that's supposed to but you know why it doesn't work now what they say why it doesn't work is because you know they just they just got to gamble the strain they got to gamble on what strain it's going to be they just don't know which brings me back oh I'm bringing the tugboat back to shore in a long way but how do they know what stream it's supposed to be. Unless they're the ones releasing it. It's just a cold. It's just a bad cold. Why are we acting

like, oh my gosh, it's a novel virus. That's so bad. It's something brand new to get freaked out about it. My gosh. I just, I'm so tired of getting freaked out about stuff. Well, if they're the ones delivering the viruses to us, then they absolutely would know what's coming. There's not enough rum in the world to have me deal with us in a friendly fashion. I'm so done with it.

We're going to have your potions master friend on Can you like tap two sticks together and set some stuff on fire and does it make all the bad germies go away? All the baddies go away? That's a, I was going to say a great question, but that's a question. And I'll ask him. It's a brilliant question. Is it brilliant? I don't want to sound disrespectful.

Slapping two sticks together? I don't know. What do people do? Like you, what the hell do you have over here? If I rub that bottle that you have, does a genie come out of it? No, it's not a bottle. It's an incense warmer. It's an incense warmer.

It warms the wood. You've got to set it on fire. No, no fires. But this is an electric warmer, so it raises the temperature. But that doesn't burn the wood. No, it does. It actually heats that the oils and the resins in the wood. I feel like that's shenanigans.

So they become fragrant as opposed to, say, a pollutant. You don't set it on fire. So if it's on fire, it's polluting? Is it not smoking when it's on fire? I don't, but that's what you want, right? No, you don't want the smoke. That's what it is. You want the fragrance.

But you get it from the fire. No, you don't get it from the fire. You get it from the actual resins and the oils in the wood. I do think it's annoying when, now, okay, long story. It's Friday, you guys don't care. I went to this, oh gosh, I get, don't sit here and be like, I'm going to make a bougie speakeasy, and then I'm only going to serve drinks that have a cup of sugar per drink.

I can't stand that. I just, I'm not a sugary type person. Like, I don't have, I have, like, hardly any sugar in my, You get you, if I smell a Snickers bar, I'm going to freak out and like, be like beavis and just, you know, short circuit. I'm not going to be able to deal with it. And I get it's a cool concept, but if you're going to do a cool concept, don't spend all your money just on the concept in the interior. Make sure you hire like decent bartenders. Don't sit here and be like, it's my mixologist.

Shut up. It's a bartender. And bar, it's a skill. It is a skill. I mean, kudos to our bartenders out there because I see you, like I know what you all deal with, particularly this time of the year. I had, you know, my family ran a, not a bar. It was in the Ozarks. It was a tavern. A tavern. That's the best way to say, no, for real. That's the best way to say it. I mean, I don't know about you, but I had a motorcycle gang that taught me how to play pool. That's a real story. For real. For real. For real. R-I-L-L, for real. But long story short, so I know a little bit. And I don't like, there's a lot. There's a little bit. There's a lot. like so much performance that goes into it and it's like less quality. Does that make sense? But at one of these places that we went to, and this is how we got into this whole conversation

in the first place last year, they brought out a little stick of wood and then they put a rosemary sprig on it and they set it on fire in this little stone trough. And it smelled really good. And I was like, ooh, that smells, you know, being a total chick, I'm like, oh, that smells festive. Can I just burn things in my house too? And they're like, no, you, this is, I say it again, Palo Santo. I don't know, it's like some potion stick. And I know rosemary because I cook. And it's rosemary.

And I was like, I don't know what this wood is. But so I was looking online to order some of that, that, I did not know that was like a whole thing that people argue about. Are you a part of like a community where you argue about the quality of the wood? No. No. Oh my gosh. I am not. There's so many things to worry about in life.

I do not have time to go and read literally 42 pages on Reddit about this Palo Santos better than that one. No, it's not. Yes, it is. This is why. And I can't. Oh, my gosh. It's a whole thing. I brought in frankincense too.

And Franken sense is. You brought in Jesus' presence. I did. I did. And frankincense is just the sap of the tree dried. Okay. Here's my question. Will your potions master friend know this?

I'm going to ask this question. Sure. Who first was like, hmm, what's that goo coming out of the tree? Let's burn it. Well, I mean, I'm sure force fires were a thing, even back then. So they were like, what's that fragrance? That smells coming from somewhere. Trees crying, but it smells so great.

Look at Leaky tree. Ooh, leaky tree. That's the name of a bar. It should be. I can also name bars along with bands. This show has a point today. We really do, but I'm like so close to, you know. Oh, I'm hosting a Christmas party.

We got our radio people in. Steve's in the studio. I can't really see them because it's kind of dark over there. They just, I don't know what they do in the shadows. They just go over there and they hiss. I don't know. Like, they just all gang up over there. And all I hear is,

they show each other memes. They show each other memes. That's it. Oh, my gosh. All right. So I had, oh, what was I going to get? I was going to get into something. We're going to have his, we always do a Potions Master check in.

And then we have the top 10 fictional band names of 2020. coming up as well. Do you have a favorite? Yeah, I think I put it as number one. I think I have a favorite, but I can't remember what it is. A lot of them are favorites. But I'm like, I know every time I'm like, that's my favorite. And then another one, nope, that's my favorite.

I don't know how many I can have, but anyway. All the years we've been doing this, how many bands have actually adopted any of our names to name themselves? No, because I want all of them. We need, right. Yeah. It'll. We need that concert T-shirt. We do.

All right, we have a bunch of, I mean, I'm actually not hitting half of the stuff that I had on my rundown for you today. This is becoming problematic. I wanted to get in, too, at some point, the guy, there was a dude who knocked the head off, the devil statue that they put up in Iowa. Did you hear this guy? He was like this Christian dude who went up there and all the devil worshippers are like, that's so mean. What you did to the devil statue. You knocked his head off. It's so hateful.

to it's what i'm fascinated so i'm gonna try to hit that here in between talking about potions all right as we get moving ladies and gents and now all of the news you would probably miss it's time for dana's quick five so if you like junk food apparently you're supposed to blame your neanderful and zaltrow or no blame the black death scientists claim that the plague killed 60% of Europeans changed mouth bacteria? Yeah, and it led to the love of junk food. It's the second plague pandemic of the mid-14th century, known as the Black Death. And it caused all kinds of nastiness. And they said that they studied calcified dental plaque from skeletons.

And they revealed that the dominant bacteria found in mouse today is linked to low-fiber, high-carb diets, as well as dairy consumption. and they said that the events such as the black death trigger the dominance of this bacteria changes to diet and hygiene throughout the plague are thought to have affected the oral microbiome This is too close to Christmas for me to be pretended

to be interested in design. You need a healthy probiotic level. You know why I put that on your Renaissance drawing, right? So they said they looked at the teeth of all these people buried at archaeological sites and they found all these microbial species and they can't, I'm not even pronouncing this one.

They said that the other bacteria, methamobrivedobacter that sounds right. That's right. Yeah. That's now largely considered extinct and healthy people. So they said that basically it changed everything the black plague did. That's very interesting. Let's see

here. Oh no. No. No. I don't want to read any of these. Oh no. So this is a story about the worst brand slogan of 2023. It's a bicycle rental company called Tut Tut. Their slogan was put the fun between your legs.

That's the worst brand slogan, they said of 2023. By the rental company, the bicycle rental company. I would also think that's probably maybe the worst company name. Yeah. So coming up, I don't know what. It's potions mastering and I don't. I don't.

I don't know. It's Christmas. Who knows what's going to happen? I mean, maybe I'm sitting here when we come back. Let's see. Don't let FOMO get the best of you. Stay in the loop and ahead of the curve by following Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. I don't know why this song cracks me up. Wonderful Christmas time. Paul McCartney, wangs. It's just so. This song cracks me up. But it's like part of the whole Christmas feel. Welcome back to the program. Dana last year. with you, bottom of this third hour. You can listen coast to coast. You can stream the radio program. Watch the simulcast, Channel 347, Direct TV. I'm staring at this thing. We're going to dive into this. Kane, it smells, I think it smells like soap. You're like, that's clean. He's trying to, I don't know what things smell like. I'm like the worst scent. It's like a Somali A of sense. I don't know.

I'm like, that smells clean. That smells nice. He, so Kane brought in. You got it from your potions master friend. You, you brought in. this, it looks like a genie's going to pop out of this thing. I put it up on Instagram and you're burning one of Jesus's presence in here. Heating, heating. Heating. Heating one of Jesus's presence in here. That's right.

The frankincense with which Steve is named after his uncle. And he's got all these little baggies. Dude, this could legit. Little baggies. Yeah. You're making it sound like this is like a drug deal. He's got some dime bags of us, some wooden stuff up in here. Illegal thing.

And it's not. It's not at all. But it actually. That actually smells good. It's very good. You did not have this thing last year. This is just taking away. This is what Jesus was smelling in the manger.

I mean, I'm, I get, yeah. I mean, maybe not in that little cute thing. That's a little cuty thing that you got it in there. Okay, let's get to business. We talked about this last year because I just want to warn you guys, 2024, we're going to start out with a kick in the neck, okay? Like when we all come back here on January 3rd, you guys are going to get punched in the face with all the stuff going on.

I want you to be prepared. So over this Christmas season, we're like, I don't normally focus on wellness and stuff because I don't care. But, I mean, that smells good. And I, you know, I'm just, let's talk about it. How do we clean up all of that and just have it to where I just shook like a Muppet for people who are not watching? And have it, you know, where we're cleansed of all of the stupidity of the past year. And so John Launas is a, he's a literal potions master. I mean, he's got like all professional.

I could say he's like president of this core advertising group and he's got very important titles. But he's, I mean, I legit would be like Potions Master and only goes that. He is literally like, he's a, let me read this, a certified master. Like, you can get certified for this. In the ancient Japanese tradition of Kodo, the way of incense, for over a decade. And he holds the rank of, Kane, of a Komoto, that is a literal Japanese, master of incense ceremony.

That's a literal thing. See, he's the actual potions master. Yeah, well, potions isn't exactly accurate. It's just a fun word. Right. Yeah. And John joins us now via Skype. John, it's a pleasure to have you.

Thank you for joining us again. So first off, that you had to go through like a whole thing to get certified in all of this. King keeps flicking the scent to me. Tell me about this. Yeah, so real quick, when I was nine years old, I started studying martial arts and world incense traditions. Then when I was 13, I trained under a certified master in the way of incense. It's called Kodo for a period of 10 years. So I've been doing incense for over 40 years now.

You could run Bath and Body Works out of business, basically. Like you totally do that. Yeah, but you know, you're talking about like getting rid of all these emotions and what have you. I mean, what you're really accessing, what you're talking about is the limbic system, which is that part of our body, a part of our brain that really controls the emotions. And so, you know, we could be working on the hypothalamus, on the amygdala, on the thalamus, on the hippocampus, without getting into two bigger words, right? But there's a so you, yeah, well, so you were just having that experience with the frankincense, you're like, it smells good and you started to relax and you started to maybe have less kind of, you know,

negative thoughts or thoughts that are moving around that. Well, that's what I do for people internationally, celebrities, businesses, and individuals. But it's a way to center the mind and deal with all the chaos that we deal with every day. And especially in the world of politics, I don't know if you know anything about that. So you're telling me that they need more of this on Twitter. I think so. Oh, you know what? And by the way, when I was on your show last year, the amount of just hate that came at me when I was literally talking about gifts for baby Jesus. I mean, it was amazing to me. They need more of Jesus' gifts. Because this, you smell the, what is that, the Frankenstein? And it's, you know, it's, you know,

You're like, I'm, you're chill. They need, I hate that you had to do that. Like, you can't even tweet anymore because of these people. You literally, didn't you leave Twitter? I did. Well, I mean, I still have an account, but I mean, it's like, it was just amazing to me. Like, I'm on your show. We're having this wonderful conversation about the use of frankincense and myr.

And it was, it was amazing. Like, just the amount of names I got called, names that have nothing to do. But that's okay. That's okay. Listen, listen, I'm, I'm a strong big boy. I can handle it. And I've got sent on my son. side. You know what I mean? I got sent on my side. You just burned some of Jesus's gifts and

you feel better. Why were those? We're talking to John Lannis, who's literally like a master of this stuff. There's a lot of, I mean, there's like a whole certification here. Why those specifically ended up being so popular and sort of like now forever a part of human history, the frankincense, the mer, I don't even know if I'm saying that correctly. Mur. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, you're saying it Right. So the research suggests that the wise men would have been Zoroastrian priests. Yeah. And they held a lot of the information around health and wellness. And so Franken sense, for example, the Mayo Clinic and other very large medical organizations are beginning to really use frankincense to help the body with a number of things, lung

issues, arthritis, etc. And so frankincense not only calms the mind, clears the mind, but it also helps as an anti-bacterial and antimicrobial. And so it's, it's healthy. So with also with Murr, same kind of thing, but you can actually treat you can eat mer, you can eat frankincense. And so it's a way to really have the body be cleansed inside and out in a very short explanation. That's like brilliant. Can you burn too much of it? Well, you're not, he's not, I should know, Kane's not burning it. And he keeps telling me that over and over again. He's like, I'm not burning it, Dana. Is it more pollute, that's not going to, a real word, pollutey? Well, yeah, polluting, I like that. So in short, it's like this, is that most incense in America

is synthetic, it's filled with a whole bunch of things that are not pure. Therefore, when you're burning that, you can get, you know, indoor air pollution. But if you're warming all natural fragrances. There is benefit in the aromatic medicine as it languished in one way. But by warming it, you're minimizing the amount of smoke and you're maximizing the fragrance and all the chemicals that come along with it that help again calm the mind, have us re-center within ourselves, again, to be able to deal with the chaos of the world. We're talking with John Lannis, who's like an expert in basically he could run all the SINC, the Bath and Body Works, all those people out of business. this and we're talking we're I mean because it's I just find this fascinating so this um you made a

very good point with the I guess some of like the chemicals and stuff that they can put in some of the manufactured stuff so you got to be like really picky about where you get your stuff from yeah there's only three companies that I currently use in the entire world wow yeah and so these are things that I have vetted over the 40 years of teaching and training and leading groups I mean like We literally do this for corporations. We do this for individuals. We do this for people of note. And it's an incredible experience.

It's called the incense journey. And you're getting your own sense of it through Kane in the studio. But you'll notice that you don't have as much anxiety maybe as you normally do when you're in the presence of that. So imagine every day being able to really have more control over your mind to be able to then put the attention where you need to put it when you need to put it there. Do you have to send like special people out to get this stuff? Because like some of this, I don't even know where you get some. Where does one get frankincense? Like where it's not like, yeah, it's not like it grows wild.

I don't even know it's a tree, right? It's sap or it's sap. It is it. Yeah. So, so Frankencence is a tree. If you imagine the continent of Africa and you drew a very thin line across the top of Africa, that is where frankincense grows. And other places as well, but but close to there.

So what happens is that three times a year, they actually cut into the tree causing the sap to come out and then to and then to dry. And then you're taking that off. And so frankincense is an autoimmune reaction to, you know, danger with the tree or some kind of a damage. Same thing to birth. Yeah. Well, so, well, so. So let's look a little bit at the Egyptian tradition. So, so the Egyptians talked about frankincense as being sweat of the gods.

So when you hold up frankincense, it looks like if you were to take sweat and then, you know, amalgamate it into a resin. But the point is, is that it has connotations with the sun. It has connotations with a number of things. But because it elevates our consciousness, it literally focuses us in a way different from everything else. That's why it's been praised and used for thousands of years. So this was like a really nice gift that these Zoroastrian priests brought Jesus. This was like going to Neiman's and getting one of those big old fancy once in a lifetime gifts. Like what they brought him was like pretty amazing.

Yeah. Well, at the time, frankincense would have been double in value of gold. Oh my gosh. And they brought a lot. I mean, I don't remember exactly how much they brought, but they brought quite a bit. That's amazing. Double the value of gold. That's crazy.

Yeah. Well, and just like we talked about last year, we also saw that frankincense and, well, actually, MERS specifically shows up at the crucifixion. So we have incense at the birth and the death of Jesus, which is very symbolic. And so the whole idea is that if we just take the night before the crucifixion, when Mary anointed the feet of Jesus was Spiknard very costly. Spiknard is another incense. In this case, it was an oil, but it will literally relax you deeper than anything else you've ever had.

And so what Mary was doing for Jesus and the disciples was to relax them and really to have them commune and be in the same space together the day before the crucifixion. Wow. That is amazing. I did not know that. That is absolutely amazing. John Launis, who, well, I'm afraid to give everybody your Twitter account now because people out there are such jerks. They need to burn more incense and chill out is what they need to do. I so appreciate you joining us on this.

It's not like, um, it's not like I'm walking into like an old, uh, hippies house. It's very clean. Yeah, it's clean and it doesn't like overpower even. It's very, um, it's very, um, it's light. Because like, you know those, um, like a lot of people get those, those, uh, oil plug-ins that they put on their walls. One of my friends had to repaint her whole. living room because those

it was one of those bath and body works oil things and it even got on like the stone on her fireplace it literally changed the you know how like if you're smoking if you're somebody's a smoker and they get nicotine on their walls and all that stuff it's like it's very much similar to what the oil that was putting off she had to repaint everything because of that stuff and so now

she just she says she just burns what is it the Palo Santo Palo Santo yeah very interesting all right we're going to wrap up our last broadcast of the year because coming up We have our top band names of the year.
