Biden something the special counsel said in his report is that one of the reasons you were not charged is because in his description you are a well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory I'm well-meaning and I'm an elderly man and I know what the hell I'm doing I've been president and I put this country back on his feet I don't need his recommendation how bad is your memory and can you continue as president my memory is so bad I let you speak That's the, that's, my memory has gotten worse. My memory is not getting. My memory is fine. My memory, take a look at what I've done since I become present. None of you thought I could pass any of the things I got passed.

How'd that happen? You know, I guess I just forgot what was going on. Mr. President. Do voters have concerns about your age? How are you going to disoise? And do you fear that this report is only going to feel further concerns about the age? Only by some of you. Mr. President, if you have that.

I mean, I don't know what the hell I signed up for last night, but I'm like, you know what? I'm going to have, like, it was one of those rare evenings where I didn't have a whole lot going on. And I'm like, you know, I got some projects I got to do. I got, you know, I got some stuff going on. I, you know, maybe I'll get, you know, maybe I'll get some stuff for, you know, to make, start playing on my Easter dinner. Maybe I'll start doing that. Start playing on my Easter dinner, right? Or maybe, you know, maybe I'll play a little Warhammer.

I don't know. or maybe, maybe I'll crochet something. It's my old lady hobby. Nope, nope, because the president decided to add a speech to his schedule. It wasn't on there previously. He decided to add this speech. And I was doing all, I was getting my stuff ready, and I was checking out Tucker's Putin interview, which we're going to talk about.

But I was checking that out. And then Biden was like, I'm going to do my speech now. And he, I don't know what I expected. Do people want, I think they hate him. I think they hate him and I think they want him to lose. That's the only reason I can see as to why you would let that guy go out and do what he did. Welcome to the show. It's Friday. We made it to Friday, ladies and gentlemen.

Dana Lash here with you. A lot to hit. You can listen coast to coast, all that good stuff. You can also stream. Thank you. It's Friday. Stream the radio program. And you can also watch the simulcast of the radio program as well.

If you check it on on Channel 340. If you look at direct TV, that's what it's on. YouTube, Facebook, always good discussion over at YouTube as well. But I'm, you know, I was, excuse me, I'm still under the, I'm still recovering from the plague. It takes your girl a little bit. And so, you know, I'm looking at this. I was, I was going over all the clips of his speech. I don't even know where we're going to start because I feel like you guys, because you guys,

you were like tucking your kids into bed last night. Y'all were getting your, your clothes ready for your work day today. y'all were packing your lunches so you didn't watch this stuff because you got to work right this is my job so can i can i also wait a minute where's this at where's this at where's the one he threw his whole staff under the bus you heard his his back and forth with doocy there just a minute just a second ago oh my gosh this is so bad can we please play audio sound bite yeah seven thank you You take responsibility for at least being careless with classified material. I take responsibility for not having seen exactly what my staff was doing. It goes in and points out. Things that appeared in my garage, things that came out of my home, things that were moved not by me, but my staff, but my staff.

This is the question I had asked on social media last night because I was stunned. He, so the giant A double snakes tower of boxes in the corner of his garage next to his

Corvette, he didn't notice, he didn't ask. That's my question. He didn't notice any of these things. He didn't ask about any other stuff. That's my question. I don't get it.

I got, it doesn't make any sense to me. I mean, people know what's in their garages. My garage is kind of a hot mess, but I know what's in there. I can tell you every little thing that's in there, every little bitty bit thing. But that's me because I know what's going on in my life. You know what I'm saying?

Like this was nuts. So he blames his staff. He blames his staff. Can we do the flashback? Audio sound by one. This was when he was raging on Trump with the classified docs at Marlago. Listen. And you saw the photograph of the top secret documents laid out on the floor at Marlago.

What did you think to yourself? looking at that image. How that could possibly happen. How anyone could be that irresponsible. And I thought what data was in there that may compromise sources and methods? By that, I mean names of people who helped or etc. And it's just totally irresponsible. Do we want to play seven again?

Just to compare again. I mean, we just play it. But I mean, it's a night and day difference. Just hit it again, Juan. Just go ahead and play the head again. Being careless with classified material. I take responsibility for not having seen exactly what my staff was doing. It goes in and points out.

Things that appeared in my garage, things that came out of my home, things that were moved not by me, but my staff, but my staff. See, it wasn't moved by him. It was moved by his staff. So the classified document probe, what do you went and spoke about? is that the guy who controls the nuclear codes was found to have mishandled classified info. But the Department of Justice isn't going to pursue it because they literally say he's not competent to stand trial. So this is what special counsel wrote, quote,

we have also considered that at trial Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury as he did during our interview of him as a sympathetic well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory based on our direct interactions with him. and observations of him. He is someone for whom many jurors will still want to identify reasonable doubt. It would be difficult to convince a jury they should convict him. By then a former president, well into his 80s,

of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness. So Potatus doesn't have any, like, state of willfulness. He's just an empty basket, so to speak. They actually don't believe that he is competent enough to stay in trial. That's why they're not pursuing this. Oh my gosh, but it gets worse.

Oh, it gets worse. Audio Soundbite 8. I want you guys to see if you can spot. What's wrong with a statement? Go ahead. The conduct of the response in Gaza, in the Gaza Strip, has been over the top. I think that, as you know, initially

the president of Mexico Cici did not want to open up the gate to allow humanitarian material to get in I talked to him I convinced to open the gate I talked to Bibi to open the gate on the Israeli side

so Biden went to Mexico to tell Egypt's president to open the gate I'm not kidding because Cici is the head of Egypt not of Mexico if you get the

if you get the newsletter in the morning, if you're the subscriber that gets the prep that I send out in the morning, thank me for not overloading me with memes because I just briefly considered making the whole thing memes about this. His geography, according to Joe Biden, is that Mexico is right there under Gaza

and right by Israel. So he went and asked Egypt's president to open up. Open it up down there in Mexico. he was talking, I can't, that's what he did. So he, that was last night. You know, if you're, if you're trying to go out and make the case that you're not, an elderly geyser who's losing his mind, that wasn't the best way to do it. And then it made me wonder, are they doing it on purpose?

Are they sending him out on purpose so that they can make the case to take him out? Because they would love to push Gavin Newsom in there. Are they trying to make the case to force him to step down? It's like they let him go out there or make him. him go out there and then they're doing this to force him to step down. I mean, I really don't know what else to say about it. I really, I don't know. I mean, the Babylon Bee had a headline that says Biden calls for the president to step down. I feel like we're moments away from that. This is crazy. This was such, I mean, so last night you had simultaneously the Putin interview

drop and then you had this. Now, this is what makes me mad. Because we had all these people and there are some people on the right who have this fascination with Vladimir Putin. They're desperately looking for some sort of macho icon. They're so desperate for testosterone. They're seeking out a macho icon. I tend to think that a guy who gets so much filler in his face that he looks like a pillow person isn't necessarily macho. But that's me. I guess, you know, we're looking at Gen Z and baby millennials here.

So there was this, Tucker did this interview with Putin. and I did watch most of it. I got a little bored at the end. And by a little, I mean a butt ton. Because Putin is this old KGB guy and Tucker is Tucker. Tucker has his style and Putin clearly has his. Tucker's style is to pretend he wants to act like he's questioning you from a point of just genuine curiosity. He just doesn't know.

And he makes what my kids call Tucker face. And I've told him this before. I'm like, my kid say he's a Tucker face. and he comes from this position. But you know he's not curious. You know he knows the answer. He's just, you know, he's coming at it from a position of curiosity. So he sits down with Putin.

And Putin is, I think, immediately at the start of the interview, there is an immediate contest of wills because Putin is going to answer the questions that he wants to answer, how he wants to answer to them. And he needs to establish dominance in this interview. And if you think that these psychological games are not played during interviews they are. He wants to establish dominance during this interview, whereas Tucker wants to hold the line and press him and keep asking questions and then give him Tucker face, which isn't to put guests at ease. It's sometimes to make them think, oh my gosh, what am I doing wrong?

So, you know, he's got, so Putin has this universal translator thing in his ear. And Tucker's asking him these questions. And he starts off asking him, you know, why are you, why are you doing all of this in Ukraine? So Putin goes all the way back to like the 15. century and starts in on this his history lesson. And some of it's based in fact, some of it's greatly exaggerated. And then some of what he says later on was just not accurate at all. And then gets it and takes Tucker on this wild ride of history, right? So I'm watching all these people on Twitter going, wow, our president couldn't even identify the president of Egypt and confused him with the guy in Mexico. And here's Vladimir Putin spending 20 minutes giving Tucker a history

on Ukraine without notes. I don't like these comparisons. I don't like this. I don't like an adversary, a geopolitical adversary, being made to look tougher than our president. And granted, even if I don't like the president, it's President Daddy Showers McSniff's kids. I don't like, he's potatoes. I don't want to make fun of him for being a decrepit, desiccated old cheese brain.

I don't want to do any of that. I don't like someone that I feel like wants to compete with us and punches up to feel like they're superior to us in any way. I get very vain about my country. I don't, I didn't like seeing that all over social media. But for real, it was like 20 minutes into this thing. And I'm like, oh my gosh. And then he's like, Catherine the Great. And at one point, Tucker's like, he's like kind of, you know, smirking at that point.

And then he goes, well, how was any of this relevant? it. And Putin responds with a way that intimates that he thinks that Tucker's bored. And Tucker's like, no, no, no, I'm not bored. It was a, we're going to talk a little bit more about it because it was odd. And he was very, Putin was trying to not show his hand and not. It was very, very interesting back and forth when emergency strike. The last thing that you want to worry about ever is having to, you know, figure out where your next meal is coming from.

So former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan announced that he's running for U.S. Senate this year. so there could be a strong candidate

in a Republican effort to flip a seat in a deep blue state. He says he's running for U.S. Senate. He's running as a Republican. He kind of looks like a real-life character from Wallace and Groment. Larry Hogan, in case you didn't know what he looked like, if that helps you because it helps me. He looks, I'm not doing that to be mean. He just kind of does. So they could flip that seat. There's one whole seat.

Good job, Republicans. That's if they don't get ahead of themselves and lose it. pawn stars Rick Harrison rips politicians after the fentanyl crisis concerning his son's death. He says drug dealers should be charged with attempted murder. He slammed the fentanyl coming across the border, which is true. I mean, that is true. Like drug dealers, I mean, if you're going to, like with fentanyl and stuff like that, why wouldn't that be added? Maybe that's a legal, legal question for people in criminal justice, but still.

So Al Franken is going to play a senator in a new Netflix series. He barely played one K-notes when he was. elected as one. He's not funny. I've never thought Al Franken was funny. He's just, I don't know what it is about him. You know how some people, everyone, other people think that they're funny and you think that they just are miserable?

Like, I don't think Jim Carrey's funny. I think that he's pure 100% undiluted cringe. I don't think he's funny. I don't think he's a good actor. I think he's just, he's either depressing or he's cringe. He's never, like, in between. Al Franken's one of those guys. I just don't find funny either.

Less than half of Americans say that they're very satisfied with their own lives. Because you're not cultivating a grateful heart, Americans. Be grateful with what you have. Count your blessings. Name them one by one. Count your blessings. See what God has done. See, tell yourself that.

Honestly, it really is. People just aren't grateful for what they have and they constantly look at what everybody else has and so they feel less satisfied with their own lives.

With the backing of whom? With the backing of CIA, of course. The organization you wanted to join back in the day, as I understand. We should thank God they didn't let you in, although it is a serious organization. I understand. See, this was the little stuff that I was picking up on watching this. interview with that Tucker it was like a two hour plus long interview that he did it was live to tape I explained what that meant yesterday with Putin welcome back Dana last year with you bottom of

this first hour that was a little caddy because it's a battle of the wills and immediately when you sit down somebody like Putin is going to try to establish dominance in a girl way here's let me explain something here so you have dude fighting and girl fighting now I'm not talking about physical fighting this is what a lot of guys don't understand you may, your wife, your mother, your sister, your female friend may be in the middle of a cold war with another chick that y'all know and y'all are hanging out with, but you will never know. Because girls do that stuff on the sly. They are very, very, very good at that.

Dudes won't even know. And they're good at it because they don't want guys to see. They don't want guys to think they're petty. So that doesn't rise to the surface. Guys just like blast each other and then they go have a beer after. Girls are not like that. Girls are more Machiavelli than Machiavelli when it comes to this stuff. Now, the reason I bring this up is because I think that this is applicable to certain people in intel and in government.

And there are dudes. The best fighters, the best people in op, an opo in politics are the people who fight like chicks. And I don't mean that as a pejorative or as a way to diminish masculinity. I mean to describe the tactics. Underhanded. It doesn't rise to the top. And typically it's only noticeable by a few people. Sometimes it bubbles up a little bit.

And they're very, they can be very catty. They can do this thing. There's a word for it that, what I can't even remember what it's called now, where you, it looks like you're giving someone a compliment, but it's not. And that's what Putin just did in this interview with Tucker. Because they were, Tucker had asked him a question, well, what agencies do you think run the U.S. government? And he was asking him this, I think, to get an insight as to what Russians and Russia

thinks, what they think, how the United States operates. Now, granted, Putin's going to exploit this and use it for propaganda purposes. Yes, but also, please just have a little bit of, you know, just give a little, be a little gracious. Tucker's not an idiot. I know that some people and some other commentators who aren't a successful thing that he is, but he's not an idiot. And I thought it was interesting because in the beginning, you know, he'd ask him a question and Putin wouldn't answer it. He would stop because Tucker was like, you know,

in the beginning, why is this relevant? Putin would would say, well, get to that. And then he would finish his answer. This was a little catty jab at Tucker. Now, there were some people, again, these are the people who are like, wow, Putin looks so much stronger than our president. Wow, can you believe this? And that's what I don't like. I don't like these. I don't want to think it. You're, you're idolizing a guy who's not entirely genuine about his Marxist, sympathies. You're idolizing that next to, I don't care if it's somebody you didn't like or didn't vote for. It's still the leader of the United States of America.

I am very vain about my country, my shining beacon on the hill. I'm very vain about it. But I don't view what Putin did as a position of strength. And maybe that's just because I know girl fight. I feel like Charlie Day. Well, I am an expert in bird law. Well, I am an expert in girl war. maybe it's because I know this.

He didn't have really anything to say there. He was just trying, he was trying to make Tucker feel uncomfortable and plant the seed of doubt in Tucker's ability to stand up to him and therefore delegitimize any strength that Tucker would bring to that interview. That was a personality. That was a psychological smear as what that was. And he did that. I'm like, you got to be kidding me.

And I figured, because it, I think in the back in the day, like in the very early on, like Tucker considered going into CIA. I mean, why would you need to go into the CIA if you're going into the media, you know? But I digress and ended up not. And I figured that Putin knew that. And I actually remarked when I started watching the interview, I'm like, how much you want to bet that he's going to try to bring this up the moment they start talking about Intel. So I thought that was kind of interesting that he did that.

And he's like, oh, thank goodness they didn't take you. Well, was that a compliment or was that a criticism? You know, thank goodness they didn't take you. Like, you're stupid enough to come here and interview me. That's what it sounded like. It sounded more of a criticism than a compliment, didn't it? That's what you're dealing with. This guy's an old KGB guy.

When you go and you, you, and to Tucker's credit, he could have stopped there and argued with him. He didn't take the bait, though. That wasn't a sign of weakness. That was, no, no, no, he's going to stick on his point. And he'll needle him with another question later. which he did at the end because he was asking about that Evan Gerskowitz, who was in jail in Russia, he spent 15 minutes pressing him on that,

which I thought was interesting. Because that was, I think that question in the way he put it directly, that was the first time that it was at the end of the interview, but Putin blinked. I will say he did that because you could hear it in his earpiece. Some of that kind of went over, and there was someone else in Russian that was speaking over the translator that was giving him like different info.

It was very interesting. Oh, I watched very closely. But I wanted to go back to the point when he was giving this huge history lesson. And Tucker was sitting there very politely and just letting him go. And there were some people like, oh, Tucker's just getting railroaded. Putin's talking for 20 minutes. Tucker's just sitting there giving Tucker face. And then Putin gets into, and again, if you follow me on Substack, I put this up there, the screen grab of when he mentioned Catherine the Great because Tucker made his Tucker smirk.

And then he goes, well, how is any of this relevant? And Putin couldn't actually answer that question. He kept deflecting and going to something else. He never actually did answer that question. Now, I still think this is a foreign land dispute, and I don't care. You might get mad at me for it, but I don't care. I want my taxpayer dollars to stop it. I do also believe that it is the West that kept Ukraine in there a lot longer

and kept them going a lot longer than previous. But Tucker made a good point for all the, the people who thought he was going to be some apologists for Putin, the question that he asked him was, well, how is any of this relevant? He asked him that five times. How is this relevant? How is this relevant to this? Where's the relevancy here? Putin couldn't answer it. Now, why did he ask that question? Because you can sit here and talk about the ethnic makeup of the Dombus region. You can sit here and talk about the ethnic makeup of Crimea. You can talk about the Tartars. You can talk about the defeat and reclamation of the area of Crimea from the Ottoman Turks. And I know the history of the area very well.

Because I started getting in. I like World War II. And after Stalingrad, I started reading all about this. That's all irrelevant. Tucker was right. Why is it irrelevant? What are the borders now? That's the point.

It doesn't matter what all the ethnic division and doesn't matter what, you know, under, and I've said this before, they were makeshift borders that were created under the USSR so as to get more seats on the United Nations. That's why they had all these little Soviet republics underneath the USSR. They wanted to have more of a presence on the United Nations. But that's irrelevant too, because what are the borders now? That was Tucker's point. Putin couldn't answer it. And there are people out there who walked into this interview with a preconceived notion.

They were believing their own propaganda that Tucker wasn't going to ask tough questions and that he wasn't going to be able to stand up and question Putin like this, and Putin never answered that question. So you have to ask, who's guilty of falling for propaganda here? I watch that interview very, very closely. I'm not a fan of Putin. I hate commies. Better dead than red.

I literally have it as a shirt. Thank you, Ramon's. Better dead than red. But Tucker didn't fold during that interview, and then it ended awkwardly, He pressed him about the reporter that was in custody, and Putin was the first time he blinked because he was a little off. He was a little off.

Now, there are some people, I think, that are still mad over the primary, and they're mad over different primary lines, and I think that's going to, I think, that's going to pre-con, their condition to immediately not want to like anything on this. But then you have people like this. like Michael Knowles. What the hell is this tweet? There are some people out here that I'm like, you need to, I can tell that some people

are book smart but not straight smart. He comes out and says something like this, quote, what's so shocking about the Putin interview is not his peerless brilliance, Putin's peerless brilliance. He's clearly an intelligent, impressive statesman. We used to have statesmen too. What change is not that the Russians started to study history is that we stopped. My gosh, why don't you get like a better grip on the hips when you kiss the butt? that's one of the dumbest things that I've ever read. Peerless brilliance, man, you are a sucker for

propaganda. That's, that's one of the, that's so stupid. I mean, that's, that's, that's, I'm retweeting it. Let's have a fight. I don't like this stuff. It's like, why are you, why would you say something like that? That's so stupid. Peerless brilliance, why? Because the guy who's been in government longer than I've been alive, sits down in an interview, a KGB agent sits down in an interview, and I can sit here in regalee with American history, too, for 20 minutes without using notes. Why is that such a big deal to people? Seriously? You would have to have notes to just talk for 20 minutes about your country's history?

That's dumb. That's your low bar of measure? I get it that some people are so thirsty for a leader in the United States, and they desperately need like a shot of testosterone in the upper echelon of America American representation. That ain't the way to do it, kids. Not the way to do it. I thought that the interview, I didn't think that he came off as peerless, his peerless brilliance. He looked like a guy who was well rehearsed, but Tucker did throw him. Tucker didn't stop asking. And he's going to actually come on with us. He's traveling right now, but he's going to be

coming on when he gets back stateside. But he, I thought, stayed right on the line of questioning. And he asked all, he asked the questions that I think that we all would have asked to kind of get a general, sort of more accurate surface area characterization

of what the Kremlin thinks, how Americans are perceived, and how much is propaganda versus actual real thought, you know? And then he was thrown at, the end. I thought it was in a very insightful interview, but I don't think that there's any peerless brilliance of Vladimir Putin. I mean, if you think that, my gosh, remove lips from but then continue. Look, the gold IRA field can seem super confusing and it's like it just can be

overwhelming to find a precious metals company that you can trust. So that's why I turned to gold code because everybody knows it wasteful government spending printing oodles of money. That's exactly how we get inflation. So I've added gold and silver as a hedge against inflation using GoldCo. You can get their free 2024 gold kit and learn how to get possibly over $10,000 or $10,000 in bonus silver. And that's one of their unique qualities.

Like Sands Through the Hourglass, so are the days of the United States.

So in Mr. Boyd-Jakowski's response, he admits that he possessed the medical specimen, and he admits that he disposed of them. Okay. I... ...2020 until July of 2023, when I disposed of them. Yeah, so because... That physical anomaly has been a point of stress in my life since I can remember. And my middle name that I chose is D.

Because my whole life, I've been called Big D, MD from the D. And I thank God that these D's nuts were extracted. And they were put into a biohazard bag. And for giggles, I put them in a mirror. and jar and I put them in the fridge next to the eggs. So let me ask you this with the conversation. What is up with the headwear for these dudes? This guy's wearing like Mario Brothers Toad's hat.

I'm, I feel like I'm looking at Eddie Izard and Toad from Super Mario Brothers with a beard. I'm really confused right now. This is what, this is what Kane shows for days of these United States. It's a dude who had his little, his jiblets. snipped and put because you know that's what normal dudes do they get their giblets sniffed and putting a mason jar pickled next to the eggs

people get them sniffed you know for the no he got him wet he got him taken off he got his he got his giblets cut off removed removed and pickled and put in a jar by the eggs I'm not kidding you that's literally what happened and I'm like and then an ex took them

and that was the ex the guy with Toad's hat on I think so You guys know Toadstool from Super Mario Brothers? That was Toad's hat. Like, what in the world? I don't understand that I'm confused. So what happened is the guy who is cosplay as a woman and thinks that if he just wears a kerchief on his head and holds a dog that, you know, voila, vagina. That's no.

Yeah, no. Still, that doesn't mean, he's still dude. You mean, you can, you can cut your beans off all you want to. It's just, it doesn't, you know, you're not, it doesn't give you. doesn't transform your bits into a, you know, a lady part. But anyway, so he had like literally his giblets pickled in a mason jar that his partner kept by the eggs in the fridge and then what he got mad because the partner threw him out. What did you think was going to happen with him? You can't reattach them. They're pickled in a jar. And, and, but that's not the question. Who does

that. Like keeps them in a pickle. Who cuts it off? And then who keeps them in a pickle jar? Right by the Wayvos. I'm trying real hard to be the shepherd cane. Oh my gosh. I just, um, it is something else. But it is he did look like Eddie Izard, right? At least Eddie Isard doesn't go around telling everybody what pronouns to use. So I know, I don't have no problem with Eddie Izard because Eddie Isard just lives his life and he's not going to sit here and, you know, push up into your business and be like, you need to do. You need to do. You need to change your bathrooms and he doesn't do that. But that guy with the toad hat, that bothered me. I just hated the hat so bad. It just, I think, I normally I know I'm not supposed to be mean in

person because that's how I was raised to not be mean. But I really do think that if I pass that guy, like, say, you know, I was at Costco and I'm like, you know, with my cart and I watched that guy walk around with this toadstool hat, I think I legit would have to stop him and be like, oh, I just have to tell you, I hate your hat. I hate it so bad. I wish I could set it on fire, but sadly it's on your head and that would be a crime. But I hate your hat. And then I would just go off and do my business.

Seems perfectly acceptable. All right, folks, we got more on the way. Second hour coming up. More of the data show back after this. As we get moving, our partners, folks over at Hillsdale College, this is a great educational institution. And one you can be proud of if you're a grad there. they actually teach they teach and encourage critical thinking.

They teach you how to think, not what to think. And there's a real crisis in American education, a national crisis. People have not been properly encouraged to critically think or even learn about American heritage. But Hillsdale College has been working really hard to change that. So in addition to all the other stuff that they've been doing and their free resources online,

they're producing these 60-second radio spots. They're called Constitution Minutes, short, clear lessons on the principles of liberty.

And in the end, what makes it such a useful political tool for people that want Donald Trump to be elected or want him not to be re-elected is that the fact of his age is not something you can rebut. He can't be, you can't tack to it.

If someone says you're too far left, you can tack to the center. you there's no the man is 80 years old he rides a bike he is like he is the age he is and and so it's it's a very useful political attack for that he rides a bike have you seen him ride a bike he fell off the damn thing did you see him he's good at riding he's just horrible and stopping and standing on the bike and you know

and honestly do you honestly believe that they just let him ride a bike you know he there was only one other time that they saw him riding a bike after that and that was like to prove to people that he can't he doesn't fall off it often you know they had to worry about Reagan loading logs in the wood chipper and they were like don't do that sir it's a wood chipper and he's like I can do it better than you and they're like yes that's true but just like help us please it's a wood chipper now they're like Biden don't ride a bike welcome to the show Dana last year with you top of the second hour you can listen coast to coast you can stream the radio program as well you can find us Channel 347 Direct TV.

You can also find us YouTube, always good discussion, Facebook, and yeah, just like in your area, in your terrestrial area. This is what makes me mad, and I'm coming back to this because I'm still mad about it. Democrats were so hell-bent on getting power that they keep in this,

there's Biden-Wan's getting it up, He's getting it up. She'll Biden falling on his backside off his bike. Damnity, Christmas. It's just so bad. Yeah, he can ride a bike. He can chew food, guys. I mean, like, how low are you going to lower the bar?

Guys, he can chew food. I mean, clearly. Democrats were so insistent upon maintaining power and keeping this cheese brain in here that it's now caused Americans to question the strength of their, not just their nation, but of their spirit. And I just got to tell you, I'm, like, shocked by some of the comments that I'm reading. Case and point.

Because I was talking about this. Some of the, some people on the right are fawning over, oh, my gosh, Vladimir Putin could, for 20 minutes he talked about Russian history and, oh, my gosh, it's so amazing. And I made the point, I don't know any American who couldn't go on about the history of our country for 20 minutes. without notes. Not sure why some on the right are freaking out because Putin can do the same with his country's history. Jeez, set the bar higher folks. And I said, stop comparing other leaders to Biden and compare them to the average American, particularly on cognitive abilities. Do you see what's happening here? Of course, Putin would love to exploit the fact that he can talk. And again, stop.

I don't make this point on Twitter too. I don't view it as a sign of toughness to put so much junk in your face that you look like a pillow person. Do people know what pillow people are? Was this just like an early 90s, late 80s thing? I had one as a kid. All right, hold up, hold maybe here. Let me, Kane, Google pillow person for Juan. So Juan can show the people in the simulcast because I say it so often whenever I talk about Vladimir Putin. I'm actually referencing like a specific thing. He's like he's not in Jocelyn Wildenstein territory yet, but you know, Putin could get up there if he just does a couple more, you know, syringes, I think. And I think he could probably be up there.

I don't necessarily think that's a sign of toughness. But people are viewing themselves as they're projecting the president's weaknesses. In a way, they're sort of adopting it when they are comparing what we have to what Russia has. And they're like, oh, look, Russia's leader can do this and our leader can't do it. Okay, why don't you now go look at their freedoms over in Russia and go look? I'm not saying that Biden's responsible for any of that. but why are you celebrating this guy? Democrats put a Putin light in the White House.

I'm not going to defend him, but I'm not also going to make my country look like a second fiddle. I'm very vain about my country. Juan's getting you the pill a person because some of you've asked me about those. Like, what are you talking about? I'm talking about the, if you're watching the simulcast. Kane, do you remember these? Yeah, I do, actually.

I think you were a little, you know, bet beyond. I remember the commercials for them. Yeah. I remember laughing at them. I had one of these. I think I had, mine was similar to the little girl one with the big blue eyes. But I had a pillow person. It's literally a pillow person.

It's a giant face on a pillow and it has arms and legs on it. You know, you're going to believe what they're selling for, like on eBay and stuff now. No, you're not. Are you serious? How much are they selling on eBay? Well, this one here's 100. Dude, I need to go. My mom in a very...

75 for that. That's nuts. My mom saved all my toys and she keeps them in a giant box under the stairs in the basement. Real creepy. Wait, you still have a pillow person possibly? I'm positive. I probably have. She kept everything.

It's so weird. Yeah, I'm positive. I'm positive that it's in there. And I'm just, like, I still have a cabbage patch kid stroller. I have a stroller. A stroller? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like a green little buggy thing.

It's plastic and you just threw your cabbage patch kid in it. She's got that. Oh, man, she kept everything. I was hard on my toys, though, so I don't know if it was, you know, like my toys went in the creek with me. You know, I'm saying, like, I would go and catch frogs and I'd bring my cabbage patch kid with me. So I don't know if they're in the best condition. But she kept all that stuff. It's weird.

Like she's like one of those like moms that kept everything. Like even all my baby teeth, one time I went to borrow a belt from her and I looked in this box and there was like bags of teeth. Like, oh my gosh. Like what is she doing? She's a murderer. It's like, what are all these? She's like, those are your baby teeth.

Like who keeps all this stuff? So you're telling me the tooth fairy doesn't exist? The one that you put in slack cane is literally the exact one I had. That is the exact one I had. Right now on Etsy, that one's going for $100. I had that exact, that exact buggy. What did it cost? Like 20 bucks? I don't know. I didn't buy it. I was a child. I didn't buy it. It was like a Christmas

present or something. Yeah. That was the exact one I had. The exact one. You know what? It's probably safer than a lot of the ones that are made today, if I'm being honest. You know, I mean, that thing was rock solid. I think I sat in that thing and would roll cousins down a hill. I'm pretty sure. One showing my cabbage patch kid stroller. I'm almost positive that when we were a little bitty, like we would take turns throwing each other down a hill in this thing. Pretty sure we did that at my grandma's house. And grandma and grandpa did know, because I do remember I broke a wheel off at one time and grandpa had to fix it. Positive that happened. How did we get to talking about my cabbage patch kid's stroller from Putin? Oh, pillow people. That's right. It's a little difficult for me to think that

he's like a tough guy because, you know, he's very vain and he injects a bunch of stuff in his face. So I'm not saying that to be a negative. I know that there's ladies out there. I'm not passing judgment. I'm just saying he's a dude, and I totally will pass judgment on you if you were a dude. I just think there's some things that you shouldn't do. Overly grooming your eyebrows is one of them. Like making sure they're uniform and they don't look like they're going to grow out of tentacle and strangle you. That's one thing. But overly grooming them to the point where it's unsettling, that's something else entirely.

But that being said, I don't like this fixation with, oh gosh, he's like so. tough and he was able to look he was able to regale Tucker with his history of any American I know could do that now this is what's scary me a lot of people are in my comments going are you sure about that I know a lot of people who couldn't um I'm pretty sure the most of the population America can do oh my gosh really granted there's a lot of stupid people out there but the reason that you don't hear from the smart people is because they're doing what you're doing right now you're either doing work at home raising your kids or you're doing work outside of the home also how helping to raise your kids, bear any money. So, see, you're busy. That's why you're not on

Twitter arguing with everybody. That's why you're not in the street so you can get hit with the man on the streets and interviews. That's why, I mean, I, I just think that it's because you all are quiet. Now, you can compare him to Biden and anybody, my tennis shoe right now, my sneaker, I could compare to Biden. My sneakers way brighter. I might you know I there's so many things I could compare to Biden um that it makes him that everything looks better next to Biden but I I don't want to lift up a guy who is I mean he's a former KGB so I'm all for being frenemies but I'm not for fawning over the guy or acting like he's you know that this is unusual to know someone's history your or to know your own country's

history. Does that make sense? It's like a giant siop. And Democrats walked right into it. They're playing right into it. I don't know. I'm very vain about my country, like I said. Someone's like, I think you're overestimating the schools. I know that. I know that. Someone's like 20 minutes. Would you like that on colonial era revolution, Western expansion? The whole nine yards. Where do you want to start? I mean, am I going to apologize for being a devout American and being educated on my country's history like so many of you all out there are? I mean, good grief. I just the I I think people need to stop kissing his ass because you're upset over our president. Yes, no one likes Biden, but that doesn't mean I'm going to sit here and start a fan club for Putin.

But that's what this is what Democrats have created by their insistence on retaining power by having this cheese brain in the White House. Ugh. So I don't know. And then we got what's her face here. Throw this up to me because we've got before that. Here we have Kamala Harris. I don't know what she's, her point of her speech is here, where she went off about for 50 seconds about the Second Amendment. Can we play this? Because we have Biden and then we have her.

I have no idea what she, she looks like she's in front of a green screen, if I'm being honest. And it looks like she's, the backdrop is like Sesame Street. And she's got two flags like a Sesame Street green screen with two flags by it. But this is Kamala Harris. And I don't know, maybe she doesn't mention Van Diagram for once. Listen. I'm pointing to the direction of what I believe is the Capitol. And what needs to happen in terms of people who otherwise have evidenced themselves having

a feckless quality to show some courage to reject the false notion that suggests you either in favor of the Second Amendment or you want to take everyone's guns away, when in fact it's just reasonable. I support the Second Amendment, but it's reasonable to say we need an assault weapons ban. It's reasonable to say we need universal background checks. Background check. Why is the accent on? It's reasonable to say that if you want to deal with violence in the community, you also got to understand. It's not only about mass shooting situations, which are horrific. And it's about everyday gun violence. What is she talking about? It's a bunch of word salad where she is like trying to have an accent and she sounds like,

drunk balance. She doesn't talk like that. I actually... What? I have more. No. Because now what people perhaps had never seen before can be seen to know what's possible.

But the brilliance of this in our class and its leaders is the ability to see what can be. Unburdened by what has been. Shut up. She did not say that. Shut up. Is that from this this newest remark.

Yes, that is literally... 20 minutes ago. 25 minutes ago. Are we being trolled? She's drunk. She's drunk. She sounds completely poo-faced. She got in a Nancy Pelosi's cabinet.

Bruins. Valence. Like, what's up with that? Like, you're from California. Why are you, like, adopting this twang? Good night. So it's, like, feckless, if you. you don't support abridgments on the Second Amendment. I hate that word. That we're so overplayed.

Our partners for this portion of our program, it's our friends over at Caltech, the sub 2K Gen 3, awesome firearm. You got to check it out if you haven't.

Tell them Dana sent you. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick 5. So apparently, there's Fat Thursday. Fat Thursday is the Thursday before Ash Wednesday in February. That would have been yesterday. So that was yesterday. I never knew it existed.

I knew Fat Tuesday, but Fat Thursday? It's known as, I can't even say this, but it looks funny. Plusishtwark in Poland? That sounds right. Yeah, that sounds totally right. And they eat a donut filled with rose hip jam and dusted with powdered sugar. That sounds lovely. So I never knew that there was like a Fat Thursday.

Tons of rain, forced gallons of raw sewage to spill from L.A. County sewers. What are all of the politicians doing? the sewer. Oh, wait, that's sewage. Did you think I was going to be serious about this headline? No. They're trying to deal with mud, because it's the Pineapple Express, the atmospheric river. And the L.A. Basin is

trying to cope. And they can't. So they had a huge spill. It was Rancho Dominguez. Eight million gallons, overflowed manholes streamed into storm drains. It was pretty bad. Ooh. Let's see. This

truck accident Let me pull this up. This is WGAL. Channel 8. A truck rolled over a highway in Franklin County, splitting the truck open. And it was, apparently there were a number of tractor trailers involved. One of them was carrying VIX. It was a truck full of the VIX vipo rub and some of the humidifiers. I bet everybody could breathe easier. No, I'm just, that was a horrible joke, but you know what it mean. Let's see here. This, there was a tiny dog that, made a mess, had a little accident on a flight. This is New York Post. It was because some people can bring their dogs into the cabin. But the dog was let out of its crate, which is something that's not supposed to happen. And apparently the dog made a mess and everybody in the cabin had to deal with it. They said it was horrible.

And that the lady, the dog's owner, wouldn't clean it up. Yeah. And they said that the flight attendants had to deal with it. It was on the edge of a seat. And another lady refused to make. move or take, she refused to move her dog or take responsibility for it. See, that's just being a bad pet owner. Like, that's, I think that's abusive to your dog and abusive to everyone else. Just like be a decent human if you're going to do this. So apparently there's now an

AI toddler. This is just not going to end well. It's called Tong Tong. Yeah, it's an AI model, or it means little girl in English. It was created by the Beijing. Of course, it's China. Beijing Institute for General Artificial Intelligence. That's what they want everyone to be, just like a robotic little toddler. That's what it is. Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton. Next.

You can stream it, Channel 347, Direc, TV, YouTube, and Facebook as well. one of the things that we were kind of scratching our heads over yesterday was the Biden administration coming out and said, oh, guys, now we actually can do something on the border. We're not going to say what, but we're going to consider doing something, maybe weighing some sort of executive action to deter illegal immigration. And a lot of people, including my next guest, have been saying, well, you could have done this the entire time.

This is something that you could have done this whole period. because Texas has been really kind of leading the fight. I mean, not really, but has been leading the fight in this. And of course, right at the forefront of that, Attorney General Ken Paxson, who joins us now via Skype. General, good to see you. So glad that you have been such a leading warrior in this fight to basically secure our southern border. I just kind of wanted to get your reaction to the administration now coming out and saying, you know, we can use an executive order, I guess, to deter what's happening at the border.

Where was this like these years ago? Well, they did exactly what they wanted from day one because on day one, they said they were not going to deport anybody. Because our lawsuits started three days later against them. So this is about the next election coming up. They've done what they wanted to do. They've allowed, not just allowed. They have made the situation so that the cartels could get as many people here as fast as possible. This isn't just them allowing.

They were participating because remember, the way Border Patrol is supposed to work, they're supposed to like hide from us. They don't hide from us anymore. They come to us. It's like, we raise our hand. We're over here. We want to find you. Where are you? Get us to where we're supposed to go. It's all a deal, right? It's not writing. It's not anywhere written down, but it's certainly the way it's supposed to operate. Now we've got an election where Biden's in a lot of trouble on the immigration issue. And so he's six, seven months out. He's thinking, well, let's just say now that we're forward cutting off illegal immigration. I think that's exactly what's going on. Yeah, that's exactly. And it seems like it. It also seems like the steps that he took,

you know, just his first day, I think it was four or five executive orders that he had that specifically looked at everything from the Flores Agreement to the remain in Mexico, those migrant protection protocols, all of those he just suspended with his pen. That was what he did on day one. And I never understood the argument that, well, he did that with executive order. So why can't he undo it with executive order? Well, and yeah, there's statutory provisions in place. And Trump, all he did was take advantage of what the laws were at the time. Right. Whether it remained in Mexico, Title 42, whether it was built in the wall that was appropriated, whether it was stopping catch and release. All these things were in place when Biden walked into office and he's dismantled all of them illegally and encouraged the cartels to, you know, make as much money as you can, especially in while we have the chance.

And that's exactly what happened. So we are, I mean, really, it's not, it's not an exaggeration to say that this is, I mean, it's kind of like a Mexican standoff where we have that at the border right now. with the federal government. And where does this go from here? I know that you've been litigating this, but this period, this purgatory period that we find ourselves stuck in before the courts decide to do something. I mean, it's just getting worse and worse. It's not sustainable. So what do we do? Yeah. So, I mean, obviously the election's coming up. We've got to change our leader or this is going to continue because the courts take a long time. We're in probably, I mean, we've got at least four major lawsuits right now related to the border and those are going to continue and i feel like we

should be successful but we can never quite count on right supreme court to necessarily go our way sometimes they do sometimes they don't we lost the injunction which by the way doesn't mean that doesn't mean we're going to not put the fences up and the wire up we're just apparently they can just cut them down when they want to but we'll just put them right back up so it doesn't deter us it's just ridiculous that the spring court on a very close decision let them do that but we have other lawsuits and i think one of the most important, Texas passed legislation finally. I'd asked for it for decades, for years. And they passed it, which allows us to deport people. And we got sued by the Biden administration and the ACLU, which, you know, kind of expect they'd be together to stop deporting people from Texas because even though he's running

and saying that he wants to, you know, maybe should do something about illegal immigration, actual practicality, we're still fighting. Yeah. And talking with Texas AG Ken Paxton, you know, you mentioned these lawsuits go and filing suit against the federal government for this. But if this border bill would have passed, that would have stripped you of this ability to do it

and moved everything centrally. Will you tell people exactly how that would have tied your hands? So what a disaster would have been. I cannot believe it was being sponsored by a Republican. It would have basically given Joe Biden the opportunity to say, see, all this stuff I've done,

the Republicans approved it, including, you know, granting asylum ability to Majorcas, he could just make his own decisions, obviously just importing people that beyond the law, what the law currently allows. But the main thing for us, beyond that, was that now we couldn't sue them in Texas. We couldn't sue, and other states couldn't sue them in their states. We'd all have to go sue in the D.C. Circuit, which is not the most favorable environment for us.

And the Senate knows that. You're so nice and polite in how you describe it. I mean, they're lefty-er than the Ninth Circuit, I think. Yes, it is liberal. And so why would the Senate, Republican Senate, want to stop Texas from, why would John Cornyn and James Langford and Mitch McConnell want to stop Texas from protecting our border through the legal action based on the law? I don't, doesn't make any sense to me.

I mean, that's, without you and a few other attorneys general leading this fight, and I think I mean, you were right out of the gate with. it, there would be no check and balance on this administration. There would be no way to sue in your local federal court to fight this. And I think it would have been a lot worse. Oh, yeah. And it's just hard for me to fathom why the Republicans wanted this. This is a, this is going to, this would hurt our ability to do things in Texas. But it would really hurt the whole immigration battle. We'd be basically saying, okay, we give up. Let's just let Joe Biden do what he wants to do and import all these people and do all these things that now are illegal. Let's just say,

okay, since he's doing it for, he's done it for seven years, let's right before the election, bail him out, and then we'll take responsibility and put it on, I guess, Trump, who then would be in a position of defending what, I don't know what he'd say about the republics. He'd have to admit that they mess this up. Yeah, that's a very good point, talking with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Another point, and then I want to talk about what Governor Abbott has said, too, about building the wall and all of the, because they're very angry that he just keeps you and he keep just forging ahead, which that you should on behalf of Texans. But the encounters, because it was on page 212 of the, I read the bill, 370 pages, it was on page 212. I marked my whole thing up, but it talked about

these encounters. And I loved the semantics of the left. They were trying to say, well, they're not talking about people that they're going to let in. They're just talking about encounters. But from what I understand, those encounters directly translated to, we're just going to let people in. We'll give you a date with an immigration judge and then you can come back a few years later. Is that a correct way to put it? Even worse than that, it would have given myorka's ability to just let him in and then he, instead of a judge, would decide who he wanted to grant a selling to. So we just have a little czar. It would just grant whoever he wanted to come in the country. And now it's just one, it's a one-man show. And so it's actually even worse than

than that. It's hard to believe. Yeah, and incredibly hard to believe. Texas Governor Greg Abbott was talking about the border wall. They're now arresting 30, I think the number is 39,000 illegal immigrants for crimes committed on U.S. soil and has seized 400, this really gets me, 458 million lethal doses of fentanyl. This has been in Texas since 2021. And then when Texas began deploring general these force multipliers, you know, the razor wire and the floating things in the middle of the Rio that are temporary and can be moved, That's when the crossings began to sort of move elsewhere where they did not have these mitigating or these force multiplier things.

Talk to me a little bit about that because the enforcement's worked. Oh, it's absolutely, you know, people build walls all the time. They build fences. Why? They do it all over the world. People build fences around the yard. Why? Give people out.

It actually works. It's been working for thousands of years. And everybody knows it works. And that's why the Biden administration took the appropriated money and wasted it. and let they paid contractors to do nothing all the materials rotted it was a billions of dollars of lost revenue that just was wasted and he violated his constitutional wall of using appropriated funds the way he's directed he's not the guy that gets to just he's not a king and he's supposed to like follow the law he did not do that so these things work and uh that's why that's why that's why

i think Donald Trump wanted to build that wall yeah last question for you general let's just say that everything every worst possible outcome could happen And let's just say that the lawsuits, which I tend to agree with you, just on the merit, I don't see how anything is decided against this. But let's just say worst outcome on everything, how far is Texas willing to go to secure the southern border, knowing that most Texans would back whatever y'all would probably do? How far are you willing to go? So for me, I mean, they don't give me a bunch of soldiers.

My job is to go to court and fight them every day I can. So I'm willing to fight them on every possible thing. And if the governor wants to defend that border and continue to defend that border, I will defend him. So I've got his back as far as he wants to go in defending that border and protecting our citizens. Because the reality is right now, our citizens are subject to lots of crime, including, as you know, the fentanyl crisis, which is killing our children. And I know too many kids that are dead because of it. I mean, this is the most heartbreaking thing that I deal with. And on top of that, we have the potential terrorism threat.

We know it's coming because they're letting all these people in. So I feel like we have a right, and I don't think Texas would have come into the union or any other state. They didn't think they could defend their border when the U.S. government wasn't going to do it. There you go right there. I think a lot of Texans would have y'all's back as well. Attorney General Ken Paxton, appreciate your time. Thank you so much, sir. Good to see you.

We'll talk again soon. All right. Thank you. Have great. We have more to come, folks, as we wrap up this second hour of programming. Of course, we got Florida Man on the way. And we're going to dive into some of the developments that are forthcoming with this, because this particular border bill may be dead. but don't count Democrats out for long on the issue of amnesty.

It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man. Hmm, hmm, hmm, okay, so a Florida man has racked up over $31,000 in charges on his company card purchasing scratch-off tickets. Like, of all the things that you're going to do, you're going to, I mean, I'm not you shouldn't steal a company card in the first place, but I'm just going to say if you're going to take your company card and then you're going to go for scratch-off tickets,

that's in $31,000 of them. But that's what Warren Johnson did. Clearwater, Florida man. He was arrested $31,000 worth of scratch-off lottery tickets on the company credit card. You know he's going to get caught. Pinellas County Sheriff's Office show that he was charged with conducting a scheme to defraud

between 20 and $50,000. And they said that he's a truck driver and an affidavit found that the owner of the company discovered that one of their credit cards had pretty had a lot of money on it worth fraudulent charge of fraudulent charges going all the way back to September so apparently he was doing this for half a year before he was caught that's a lot that's a lot and and I think maybe they need to run better books too I'm just going to say all right so this Florida man if you're going to steal a plane you better know how to fly it L.A. Times says a Florida man

stole a plane in California crash landed it on a nearby beach and just walked off. Well, he crashed landed it, but it didn't like break up the plane at just while Juan's got the photo. Literally the nose was right in the sand. He stole a plane in Palo Alto and then put it down on a beach in Half Moon Bay. And the 50-year-old Miami native, Luis Arres, is accused of committing grand theft arrow at about 5 p.m. He took to the skies touchdown 25 miles away. And apparently, well, one of the officers says, I've been doing this for a long time and this is a first to have someone who, I mean, I don't know, did he think he was playing Grand Theft Auto like in person or like with a plane like in person? I don't know. Let's see. This is CBS 12. A man's pet kangaroo, which I didn't even know you could actually keep as actually can. That's kind of the thing. A pet kangaroo was trapped in a pool area of a Florida apartment complex. So CBS Channel 12 and Tampaign says that a kangaroo got into trouble in Tampa. It made its way to an apartment complex pool.

Hillsborough County Sheriff's authorities were called regarding a kangaroo on the loose. And they released audio and some video as well. They put it up on his Facebook page. And the dispatcher goes 911, do you need police fire or medical? And 911 goes, I guess police? There's a kangaroo in my apartment. So they said that they got the HSCO or HCSO, sorry, agricultural unit. reunited the kangaroo with its owner. So he did have proper registration papers and could prove ownership. If he didn't, though, I guess that would have been, you know, he would have been in trouble. But, I mean, I didn't even know you could.

That kangaroo was, like, bored. Like, I feel bad for it. Yeah. Is it a baby, though? A Joey? He's just chilling. He's hopping around. He looks fun.

I want to pet him, carry him around. Like, we could be friends. He looks a little bigger than a Joey. Whenever I see animals, I'm just. I'm like, I get the snow white complex. Like I can go talk to them and like butterflies and hummingbirds will land on my hands and stuff like that. You know, I just get this like major snow white complex. In fact, whenever anybody's animals like me, I feel like snow white.

And then I hear a choir go, oh, and then the sun's rays come out. And then all the animals come and talk to me. That's what it feels like. You guys know exactly what I'm talking about. Let's see. This is two brothers were arrested to Florida. were arrested. They robbed a seven-year-old child on a Broward County Transit bus. It occurred, actually the very end of last month. It was a city bus. And the two brothers, Dinell Osir and

Darnelenson Osir, allegedly stole a cell phone from the child, a seven-year-old while on the bus. And then they ran away on foot. Officers pursued on foot. They quickly located them. And while detained, they conducted a live lineup, the victim and witness, positive. positively identified them. And so, uh, the officers noted that the brothers, they, they didn't use weapons. They used physical force to take the child phone. And they were arrested and transported to Broward County main jail, a seven year old with a phone. But you don't steal it. Just because, you know, maybe you don't approve of it or you want it for yourself. Don't steal. Like go out and get a joby job and, you know, kind of kind of do it yourself there. That's, I don't know, let's see here.

I'm not reading this one. This one, this is like a security one. No, I don't want to read that one that's boring and it gets too technical. Oh, here's the one I want. So you guys know combos. I love the combo snacks, right? A Florida man is suing the combos people, the people who make the snacks because they were saying that they didn't have enough cheese in them.

Yeah, a Florida man sued combos because they, they said saying that they I don't I mean I don't know how much money you're going to get it's a class action suit a Florida man's demanded a trial he says that the they don't have enough cheese and apparently he says the filling was made with real cheese and and it says natural flavors real cheese doesn't have natural flavors because cheese naturally is flavored like cheese and so they're literally like going to court over it a class action suit good grief all right stay with us third hour on the way Wienki has the freedom to negotiate a settlement to this conflict.

I don't know the details. Of course, it's difficult for me to judge. But I believe he has, in any case, he used to have. His father fought against the fascists, Nazis, during World War II. I once talked to him about this. I said, Ologia, what are you doing? Why are you supporting neo-Nazis in Ukraine today,

while your father fought against fascism. He was a frontline soldier. I will not tell you what he answered. This is a separate topic, and I think it's incorrect for me to do so. So this was part of this weird interview that Tucker Carlson did with Vladimir Putin yesterday, and we're going to talk a little more about this.

Also, the Biden doc thing. I think that was very interesting. The timing was very interesting to me when all this came out, incredibly interesting. welcome back to the program top of this third hour danelash with you can listen coast to coast you can strain the program if you're not listening terrestrily you can also watch the simulcast the video portion of the program on channel 347 direct tv youtube facebook as well that whole denotification thing that's like a big time talking point that he brought out and i just think you know you're it's a

totalitarian state it's just the irony of saying that is just interesting to me. But there are people who are panning it and they were saying that Tucker should have challenged every single thing that he said. And I don't know if that was the purpose of the interview. But I feel like people are moving the gold post and their criticisms and that they thought he was going to be, I guess what, an apologist. And he wasn't. I mean, he kept asking the question that Putin couldn't answer. So all the people in their rage at this interview even happening in the first place. Putin didn't answer, well, why is any of this relevant, the history of Ukraine?

All of these people were like, oh, well, you know, Tucker sat there and, and let Putin go for 20 minutes lecturing about the history of Ukraine, and he just got rolled. But did you not hear what Tucker asked, like, repeatedly after? He just let him go amused and sat there and looked at him. And then he goes, how is any of this relevant? How is this relevant to, like, meaning how is it relevant to their current borders today? I feel like a lot of people are still projecting their bias onto this while also simultaneously and ironically bitching about propaganda. I got to call it because that's the way it looks. That's what it looks like to me.

But there were a lot of things that Putin said in the interview that were just completely not even factually accurate in any way at all whatsoever. And I mean, there was a lot there. Like one of the biggest things, and this is what I hear a lot of neocons try to say. They're like, oh, they say Russia is going to attack NATO and we're going to get us into World War III and going to push and attack NATO countries. And I'm like, well, they couldn't even rule Ukraine. So how do you think that they're going to step up to NATO? That's so dumb. And then he's saying, oh, well, NATO just keeps pushing eastward. They want to attack us.

NATO doesn't want to attack Russia either. Now, there was just enough. There was just enough of a truth in what he said to beg the question. Now, when I say beg the question, I don't mean pose a question. That is not what that means. Begging the question is a term for a logical fallacy in which you assume that the premise is true, thus the conclusion is true. So there's enough there where you could just make this argument without actually having to prove the premise to be true. Does that make sense? So there's enough there to beg the question because he keeps going, oh, well, you know, they keep pushing eastward. And, you know, Finland was admitted into NATO in April 2023. And Finland does extend east. word even beyond the Baltic states of Latvia and Estonia. They extend a little bit eastward, a little bit more eastward than the former Soviet states of Estonia and Latvia. But that doesn't mean that NATO is going to pick a fight with Russia. This is so stupid. Stop. So like I said, there's just enough, just enough in what he said. And that's the whole,

that's the gambit, right? You have just enough truth to where you can then make. this grandiose argument. Oh, well, see, because they keep pushing eastward, they want to have a war with Russia. It's the West. No, that's not true. Nor is it, I don't think anybody, I don't think they, either of them want a hot conflict with the other. I don't believe that. And so there were, there were a lot of things. Like when he was saying that he basically, he blamed Poland for, for kicking, for, like, making the Nazis mad. He blamed Poland for that. I'm a huge, I'm a huge, World War II history buff. That is not even remotely accurate. I mean, there were some of the things that he was saying and I'm like, no one believes this because we have books. Like, that's not

accurate at all. Dude, you can be KGB and you could be, I knew his body language. I could tell that he was trying to do all this posturing and he does this thing and this is a trick that a lot of people do and I've seen people do this before. In fact, I've done this in interviews before with reporters. I've done this actually in a couple of interviews. When you sit down, I have an Apple watch. It's a lot easier when you don't have an Apple watch. A lot of times what I'll do is I'll use my phone and I'll put the phone time up, my clock on my phone. And what you do is when you're getting ready to sit down with someone, you either take your watch off and you put it down where you can see it so you don't have to turn your wrist over or you take it and you just have your clock up and you set it

down right where the reporter can see it and right where you can see it, that is an immediate move where you are asserting control over the time period that you are with this person. So you are immediately, it might seem like something stupid, but death by a thousand paper cuts, a lot of these little gestures add up to plant the seed in the mind of the person to whom you're speaking that you are the one in charge and that you are controlling this. So when I've sat down with people, it's like it's a boardroom move. When you sit down with people, and especially when I sit down with reporters, I always immediately take an aggressive antagonistic approach with them, no matter who they are. And I will put my watch out or I'll put, usually it's my phone, like I said,

because then they sometimes wonder if I'm recording them. And I put it out. And that way, they can see that you're on my time schedule and I'm in control. That was one of the first things he did when he sat down. I don't know if you saw that in the video, but he took his watch off. And he put it on the table. He took his watch off and he like messed with it and he set it on the table. that was he was trying to do a power move. Now whether or not Tucker realized that, Tucker didn't change his posturing or his the way that he moved or spoke with people or spoke with Putin. He didn't change any of his stuff.

I mean, everybody's got tells and people have different tells. When I was in college, I actually had to take, I thought this was interesting for a journalism degree. Isn't this interesting? I had to take classes on persuasion. And I did. One of the reasons I can, I can recognize this stuff is because I had a couple semesters on, in body language, actually, in persuasion. And you, there's like little power moves, gestures that you do.

Like when you, when someone is sitting in front of you and they fold your hand, they fold their hands and their hands, their hands are interlocked and their thumbs form a peak or their fingers form a peak. It's supposed to be like a subconscious power move that someone has, they feel like they are in the advantageous spot. And so that's, that, that's usually the, what they, what they, uh, the gestures that they make. Uh, I always made fun of, uh, Bill Clinton's non-accusatory knuckle point. So if you make a fist with your hand, just make a fist, but, but, but, but, but make a bad fist and stick your thumb out. Don't hide your thumb. Stick your thumb out. And then slightly extend the knuckle of your

index finger out just a little bit. That is the non-accusatory knuckle point. That is what Clinton and a lot of these politicians do when they're trying to make a point and they're defending themselves, but they also don't want to seem too aggressive and accusatory so as to flip the sympathy and the audience to whom they're speaking to be aggressive towards them. So there's all these little things. And he had a bunch of these little, he had a bunch of these like little gestures and stuff that he did, the way that he would point right from the get-go when he was talking to Tucker. He noted, he's like, well, I believe you have a basic, you. your education, the base of your education is in history, I think is how he said it.

So he immediately, within the first 120 seconds of the interview, he immediately starts in, he does his gesture where he puts the watch on the table, and then he immediately lets Tucker Carlson know that he's made an assessment of him and he's already right up on his education. It's like a threatening, non-threatening thing to do. Oh, yes, I know all about your background. I know that you're, you actually got a degree in history. I mean, that's basically what he said as a way to say there's nothing you're going to do that's going to surprise me. So let me take you on a journey.

But the fact that he was filibustering and going into the history of something, it went on, it went, in my opinion, I thought it went a little too much for him even. There is a time where there's a point at which it becomes too much and it does look like you're dancing and it does look like you're deflecting. and that's what his whole, you know, soliloquy on, you know, the history of Ukraine and Russia, some of which was invented, that's kind of what it went to. And so there was, there was just all this stuff, but people, I think, who were getting mad at Tucker Carlson for not challenging him, which he did challenging him on a number of things. But the biggest was that he kept asking him, how is any of this history relevant? Because if this country's borders are what they say now, what does that have to do with all the stuff that happened in 1860, and 862, sorry.

what does it have to do then? What does it have to do with the 15th century? What does it have to do with Catherine the Great? What does it have to do with any of this stuff? If their borders are what they say now, what gives you the right? You know, that was his whole point. So I think some of these people need to just calm down and be a little bit more observant, really, because I don't think I just, I just, a lot of it, like I said, was just entirely, you know, like when he was saying that the CIA bomb Nord Stream. here's the problem.

In the United States, you have most of the people in the general public who have watched everything that has happened these past six, eight years, and are just bowled over by the audacity of people in different agencies in their government. I think in 2016, you had Democrats, the DNC, and the Hillary Clinton campaign that hired Fusion GPS, which is an entity that is actually. acting as a foreign agent, but is not registered as a foreign agent. That is what Paul Manafort went to jail for. There are people that go to jail for that. It's called the Foreign Agents Registration Act, FARA, FARA, FARA, FARA, FUSAN, FUSA. Fusion GPS is not a FARA registered entity. And one of the people

that work with them, Natalia, what's her name, Velaeskaya, or whatever, she was the one who tried to entrap Jr. at the Trump thing, and they made up that whole story. They were the ones who worked with Chris Steele that disgraced British spy. They had him work with the Kremlin, and there are receipts that show all of this. In fact, the Clinton campaign had to pay a pretty big fine over this because they had failed to disclose that they had hired Farah and hired Chris Steele, who they sent to Moscow to work with the Kremlin to try to come up with what looked like organic information to get Trump. And when the FBI wouldn't verify it or have anything to do with it or follow it up with the legitimate investigation, they decided to launder the information through the press. So they leveraged their contacts of very like-minded, you know, politically like-minded people in the press. One of them worked with Yahoo News. A lot of the names are redacted.

And the reason we know this is because the Freedom of Information Act request was granted, should have been. And the names, they released all this stuff and you can see people were getting paid for it. I think Isakov was one of the names. There were several other names. Some of them were adapted. Some of them came out. But it showed these reporters were laundering this information. They would get this oppo.

They would write it as though it was their original reporting that they found and they investigated. And they published it. And so the Fusion GPS people, because one of the people that work with Fusion GPS had a husband that worked with the DOJ, took it to the DOJ, said, oh, my gosh, look at these stories that are coming out. don't you think that this necessitates investigation, then they took that to a FISA judge who signed off on it without further inquiry or even, like, validating any of the information. And they got a surveillance warrant on people who are volunteering or working with the Trump campaign. That's literally how that happened. So they got in a lot of trouble for that. So you had people who saw that happen.

You had the country that shut down. We shut down the most powerful economy in the world. kids were kept out of schools. People were forced to get things that were called vaccines that actually didn't vaccinate you. And there's a lot of distrust built up in the public against our government that our government and the Democrats elected in it. And some of the Republicans helped create. So you can see how the ground is prime to actually think that someone like Putin is legitimate. It's wild.

And it's the far left that created this environment. Don't take the bait. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. So this is a mystery. These homeowners in Philadelphia's Mount Airy neighborhood are trying to figure out what a metal door-shaped object on the roof of their home is.

It looks like a door. It looks like a plane door. It does. Because it's like metal, and it has around. little admiral window in it. They have no idea. It was on their roof, though. They think it fell maybe on the roof from a plane, but they're like, wouldn't it have gone through?

That is actually good. They have no idea. The FAA investigated. They said it didn't come from an aircraft. But, I mean, it looks legit like a... It looks like an airstream door. You know, like one of those airstream trailers? It does, yeah. It kind of looks like that. How did it get on their roof?

They can't figure out how. It's just like wild. I mean, I don't know. So this one police department in Oak Park, they say that this is, oh gosh, what how many? What's the percentage? 27% of their entire police force. They're budgeted for 118 officers, but they only have,

but 32 of those are vacant. That's 27% of their police force that, and this is an Oak Park, Illinois, that is in, they don't have anybody there. That's a quarter of their force. that is just they don't have. They're down a quarter. That's wild.

Is anybody actually shocked? I don't know. A 94 year old, this is, oh gosh, this ended so well. This is horrifying. A 94 year old was found lying in the cold snow freezing to death for hours and a newspaper delivery saved his life. It was Eastern Indiana newspaper employee. She was delivering her papers, a 94-year-old man who used to do the same job when he was a boy. He apparently had an accident, fell in the snow.

His eyes were open, couldn't speak, and she found him, saved him. Thankfully, he was hospitalized for a while, but goodness, stick with us. Whether you're a policy wonk, a news junkie, or simply someone hungry for insightful discourse, the Dana Show podcast has your back. Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. The special counsel was not satisfied with that answer. They went and looked in the garage, and even though they are bringing no charges, this is a very, embarrassing report for a president in his 80s running for re-election, particularly since there

have been multiple headlines this week about challenges he's had with his memory while campaigning. Yeah, it's, uh, you think? That's Peter Ducey. It's a bad report. It's a report that they keep trying to spin. Welcome back to the program. Dana last year. Kane's got this audio of this guy, Ian Sams, who keeps trying to say that, you know, there was no case here. Listen to this. They're still spinning this. The president spoke powerfully about this last night. After a long investigation that turned over every stone and explored every theory, the special counsel decided that there was no case there. That's not what they decided, guys. That's not, no, no, that's not what they decided.

That's, in fact, it literally, here, I put the, I have the screenshots of the report up. That's, that's not at all what he said. It said that he willfully retained files in his garage. He willfully did it. But they're not going to pursue it because he's not mentally competent to stand, like, to trial for it. They said, quote, it would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him, a president well into his 80s of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness. They're saying that he's too cheese-brained.

to stand trial. They didn't say that there wasn't a case there. That was the opposite of what they said. They said that they literally, that he, I mean, look, this is literally verbatim the report. Our investigation uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen. And?

But he's got that Biden privilege. So the guy that has the nuclear codes who violated the law on classified information isn't getting charged because he's a cheese brain. They can't, he does not demonstrate the, quote, mental state of willfulness necessary to prosecute. Like, listen to this. This is from the report, quote, in his interview with our office, Mr. Biden's memory was worse. He did not remember when he was vice president, forgetting on the first day of the interview when his term ended. quote, if it was 2013, when did I stop being vice president? End quote.

And forgetting on the second day of the interview when his term began. Quote, in 2009, am I still vice president? End quote. He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died. And he was talking about when his son died. He had a rosary or something like that. He couldn't remember. Something about the rosary he couldn't remember.

The report continues in saying that, and his memory appeared hazy when describing the Afghanistan debate that was once so important to him. Among other things, he mistakenly said that he had a real difference of opinion with General Carl Eikenberry, when in fact, Ikenberry was an ally whom Mr. Biden cited approvingly in his Thanksgiving memo to President Obama. Hmm. They said also, quote, Mr. Biden's memory also appeared to have significant limitations. Oh my gosh.

They said that he struggled to remember events and strained at times to read and relay his own notebook entries. That's bad. So now you're going to see the purge begin. They're going to start measuring Biden up against all these other Democrats. And here we are out with the first. Now insiders are saying it's panic time. And the party should dump Biden at the summer convention. Gavin Newsom's waiting in the wings.

I told you. One White House official said Biden should not be our standard bearer. Last night was kind of the nail in the coffin, I think. and I think they did it on purpose. I think that they timed it on purpose. I think that they were willing to allow the United States to have the appearance of looking bad against our leader, against Russia's leader, so that they could further accelerate the urgency of their case. I mean, it looks bad.

It's going to be Newsome. It'll be Gavin Newsome. That's who it'll be. And he's going to have to go on a. charm offensive because he has a difficulty in being likable. He seems disingenuous. He's got his own. He's got a ton of baggage. His wife is like Hillary 2.0. For real. You should read Jen Van Lars reporting on them over at Red State because she was born and raised in Simi Valley, which is like the last Republican stronghold in California. She is very familiar with the Newsom's, very familiar with them.

but I'm telling you it's I mean it's it's just bad he willfully retained and disclosed this stuff he engaged in practices that quote present serious risks to national security and then he does stuff like this audio sound by three I mean

what when I said when I we pushed all these programs I said I'm going to be a president of everybody who lives in a red state or a green state what? What do you mean a green state? Red state or green state? There was a lot that was bad from this.

This is what he said about this report specifically. Audio sound bite four. Listen to this. I was so determined to give the special counsel what he needed. I went forward with a five hour in person, five hour in person interview over two days on October the 8th and 9th of last year, even though Israel had just been attacked by Hamas on the seventh and I was very occupied. It was in the middle of handling an international crisis.

Hmm. He handled it? He didn't even say anything about it for like days, right? How long was it two days? Yeah. We didn't hear from him for a day. This is the story that I was mentioning about his son, Bo. I don't know how much of it he makes up anymore and how much of it is actually something he's

trying to recount from memory because he's lied so many times. audio sound by 9. This is all just from last night. It was just a, wow. There's even reference that I don't remember when my son died. How in the hell dare he raised that? Frankly, when I was asked the question I thought to myself, wasn't any of their damn business. Let me tell you something. Some of you have come in, I wear since the day he died every single day, the rosary he got from Relative. Uh-oh. Just why?

See, when you try to sit here and triple and double down on this stuff, it just doesn't work, dude. Oh, and then let's not forget, see what you can, see if you can guess what he's trying to name here. Audio sound by 10. And making Roe v. Word. Word. The law of the land. The law of the land.

Roe v. What? Roe v. Rood. cane. And making Roeby word for the law of the land. Wow. He's trying to say Roe v. Wade.

I, uh, yeah, that's bad. That's pretty bad. Also another little tiny, the nuance thing that people are not talking about today in regards to these classified documents is that during the time he was not president. He didn't enjoy any. any immunity or even a wisp of immunity with that. We've talked about that before.

He didn't have the authority as vice president to declassify any. And that's a process that you do have to go through. It's not a lengthy one, but you have to tell the archives. I think there was enough to put him in front of a jury, but I think they had to bed all the questions in the world. They had to say that in that report that he wasn't incompetent in order to save his ass. That's exactly what they did. Audio sound by 11.

Even CNN couldn't believe what, that Biden completely. went out and said totally contradicted what the report said. He's not exonerated here. Listen to this. Exactly. That is what blew my mind about Joe Biden's statement. Said two major things he just

outright contradicts or is contradicted by, however you look at this report. There are two things he said that are completely the opposite of what Robert or her found. And who do you believe is up to, I guess, the individual consumer. First, Joe Biden says, I did not act willfully. Willfully just means

voluntarily intentionally. Well, the second sentence of this whole summary says, President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials. The facts in here show it was willful. He knew. He talked about it. And the second thing he says is,

I did not disclose classified documents to my ghost writer. Page three says that he did that. He says, Mr. Biden shared information, including some classified information from those notebooks with his ghost writer. So, guys, he knew it was willful.

but no charges because he's special. He's got that privilege. I wonder if they're like, well, there's not going to be any charges for you if you step down now. But if you don't step down, you know, we're not going to be able to protect you. I wouldn't put it past them doing that. I really wouldn't. I mean, I wouldn't put that past them at all to say that. But the report was conclusive. He willfully violated the law. But he is not mentally, competent enough to actually go to court over it, so they're not going to pursue. That's stunning. If he can't withstand legal scrutiny, why in the hell is he in the White House? And that's not to say that I want Kamala. I don't see how they don't switch him out. They're making the case. I think that's why

they allowed him to do this press conference last night. That's why they allowed him to give the speech and he took some questions, and it was just a train wreck. I think they did it because they want to expedite his exit. And they've got Newsom waiting in the wings for this. Just saying, there's no other way that you get around this. And at the same time, though, because I think that Trump's, the classified docs in Trump's case, I think that's like of all the stuff that they're throwing at him. and my estimation, and Lorraine has more coming out about this, in my estimation, that's, to me,

that's like the only actual, perhaps actionable and let's, you know, take it to court and then let's see what happens. That's like the only thing that they could move on. Everything else is just ridiculous. It's, everything else really does seem politically motivated. Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts, because knowledge is your ultimate superpower. One more person, as I've been quoting folks today, Yarr Rosenberg at the Atlantic said, Biden has Gaff names his entire career, his entire career. It is not uncommon that he's done that.

Is that supposed to be a defense? Yes. He's had Gaffs his entire career. including that plagiarism gaffe that cost him his, you know, the last time the back in the 90s when he was writing for president, I had to step down because he slide and actually had stolen from for his, I don't know how many speeches that he had. Welcome back. Dana Lash here with you. She was asked too, when can we talk to the president's doctor, Karin-Jean-Pier, the presser, and she wouldn't answer. She's like, oh, that's, I'm going to walk away now.

It's done. That makes sense because didn't they want, like, Trump to actually bring his doctor out and all this stuff? And didn't they go and try to find his doctor and sit down and do interviews and all that stuff with him? Remember? Where's Biden's doc? I mean, suddenly his health not important anymore. It was really important the last administration. I mean, I don't know.

between him and Kamala Drunky Harris. Good grief. I don't know what's worse. Keep in mind, we haven't heard from White House counsel at all since this report. And number two,

we haven't heard from the president's doctor at all up to this point. Yeah, we haven't heard. Where's he at? Yeah, come on now. But he contradicted the report. There's a great piece up. Lorraine is a piece that's up at Substack right now

over a chapter and verse that gets into some of the other specifics of it. But it is the idea that this is a done thing, they're going to try to say, oh, it's been examined and it's done, move on. Well, you can't. She has photos up there, too,

of where the classified documents were in the garage. That's even more reckless than keeping them by the toilet of Mar-a-Lago, which was reckless. But this is even more reckless because Hunter was going in here getting into the Corvette. I'm sorry, but if you know the guy was

Vice President of the United States and you see a box of documents like that, that's the first thing I'd be looking into. Like, I would totally be digging through that just to see what's what. Did we not find cocaine powder on that gun pouch of hunters? What if there was some residual left on those classified

docks? I mean, it wouldn't be beyond the realm of believability, although you're not going to hear about that. that's not anything you're going to hear about. But I wouldn't disbelieve it. I mean, that sounds about right?

That sounds like it could be true. Good heavens. Just a mess. But they can't say, they're going to try to say what's one and done. Look, the report came out. That's it. Nothing else to see here. That's what they're going to try to push on this.

They're going to try to say it's done. You don't need to know anything else about it. We already, look, we investigated it. Now they're going to try to spin this as there's no criminality here. That's not what they said. They said he's two cheese brain to actually take him to trial. Because to do that, you would have. to require a, what did they say, mental willfulness, and he doesn't have that.

That's not a defense. Just like saying, well, he's always had gaffs. That's also not a defense. None of that, stop it. None of that is a defense, you nerds. None of that is, that's so bad. None of this helps him. Goodness. Now, folks, make sure you go find us over at Substack, chapter and verse, Facebook and YouTube, where you can like and subscribe. We got a lot of good stuff up there, especially from our discussions this past week. In the meantime, today in stupidity came. All right. It is Biden's spokesperson Ian Sams, who has a zero, literally zero response when there was pointed a question that Joe Biden was answering yesterday and that specific lie he told. Listen to this. The second thing, the president also said last night, all the stuff

that was in my home was in filing cabinets that were either locked or able to be locked. But the report says that some of the classified documents were in cabinet drawers, while others of Afghanistan, for example, were an unsealed and badly damaged box sitting in his garage. So did the president misspeak last night? Look, I think the president was responding to a number of inaccurate allegations in this report. We've talked a lot about Justin asked about the diaries. So clearly the spins happening and we're entering into the weekend. There you go.

Folks, that does it for us this week. Have a wonderful weekend. I will be back behind the mic with you on Monday.
