And do you notice the timing? The timing was perfect. This case was dead. It was dropped by every agency, every governmental board. It was dropped by the highly respected Southern District. They said, no, there's no case here. It was dropped by federal election. And that's what it's about. This is about a federal election, not a state election. You're not even allowed to look at it. They took the state and the city, and they went into a federal election.

They're not allowed. The people from federal election, Southern D. district and Washington dropped the case. Everybody dropped the case. There was no case. Syvance dropped the case. And when Bragg came in, he said this is the most ridiculous case I've ever seen. And who would have a certain person, again, gag order? Who would have a certain person like this ever testify? He said, this is essentially one of the worst people I've ever to testify. He said, the craziest case I've ever seen, this is Bragg. Then when I announced, I was running for president, long time later, they decided to revive this case.

And it's not sustainable by anyone. Little things like our kids can't have a little league game anymore because you have tents and you have migrants living on the fields. That's the least of it. People are taking over our luxury hotels, migrants, and yet our veterans, our great veterans, are living on the streets. like dogs, they're living on the streets, but migrants are living in luxury hotels and cities all over our country run by Democrats. This is smart that he made mention of that, that he brought that up and kept the focus on it. Although I wish you would have done it a lot sooner and more often, but I think every opportunity

from here on out that he has, this is what the focus needs to be on because Democrats are baiting you all into going about 2016 or sorry, November, I just say November, in a certain way. And I want to make you aware of that because they want you to campaign in a way that makes these independents, et cetera, and everybody else stay home. They want everyone to be tired and fatigued. And we're going to go over all of this here. It is, I have a packed show for you. today. It is a very, very packed show. I've got a lot of information that we're going to go over today.

And we're going to get into the weeds with some things because I want you to be well aware of these arguments that are out there. So first and foremost, the verdict yesterday that came out. This, I'm going to tell you, I'm going to, this is what I'm going to do today. I want to remind you of two things. Now, you know my background. If you don't know my background, I suggest you Google me. I say this as somebody who has leapt off protest stages and gotten to fights at events. Okay. I've dashed into crowds. I've worn wires.

I've crashed events. That was back in my 20s and 30s. Okay. I'm in my early 40s now. So it's different. I am a brawler and I am probably, if I am one of your friends, I'm the most confrontational friend you have. Kane can attest to this.

Juan laughs. but I'm motivated out of principle and loyalty. I am also not a drama queen. And I want to caution you. There's two things that happened here. Now, when I'm telling you stuff like this, a brawler, this is why I told you that. I think you should listen.

The first thing is that this verdict, I don't care what your opinion of Trump is. I don't care. I don't care if you love him. I don't care if you hate him. I don't care if you're ambivalent. it's not about him. And I need people to compartmentalize this.

This is about a diminishment of the legal system. I'm going to go into that further this broadcast. That's number one. Number two, stop being fatalist. Don't. I know a lot of people are very upset over the verdict. I get it. I don't like it either.

but it is not the end of the United States of America. But what it means is that you have a responsibility. It can't just be outsourced to elected officials. It can't be outsourced to corporate activists and corporate activist groups. It can't even be outsourced to just basically a run-of-the-mill grassroots street activist. everyone, just as George Mason said that every man and woman in America, every citizen is a militia, so too are you an activist. And you got to start thinking like that. How many people are going to, now, let's put it in perspective, how many people are going to complain about the verdict?

And then not go and take part in a campaign this weekend. That's what it takes, folks. it takes the unattractive, unsexy, unappealing day-to-day grind work, going out and campaigning and election nearing. And we got some big elections coming up. Not just, I'm not talking about November singularly. I'm talking about a number of different races. And they're all going to matter. You have been put in a position this time for a reason. If not us, then who, if not now, then win. You have a responsibility. And don't look at it as a burden. Look at it as a joy. You would rather have too much, as Jefferson said, too much liberty to attend to than too little. Now this is going to

go through the appeals process, and I'm going to talk about that. But right off the start of the show, there are a lot of good people in this country. And I think the good outnumber the bad. But it takes everybody showing up in November. And it takes you getting involved. Maybe you don't grill that weekend. maybe you go out in phone bank, maybe you go door to door, maybe you go hand out campaign materials, maybe you do something that is just more than being a fatalist on social media. Because everybody's going to ramp each other up and think, oh, there's no, there's no future, there's no, stop thinking that way. This is America.

America loves an underdog story. America loves a comeback. America loves heroes. And that's what this nation's built on. So do your duty and step up. So that's first. Let's get into this verdict because it's garbage. It's a clown show.

It is an absolute clown show. I've had a lot of conversations with people. And I've had a lot of people get mad at me. Here's a third quick point that I want to make before I get into this. I'm just going to get this out of the way. I don't care who you liked in the primary. Again, this isn't about you and it's not about your candidate. This affects all of us.

This is a diminishment of due process. And you can sit here and go, but Dana. They had 12 jurors. Oh, I'm going to get into all of that. Believe and you're going to wish I hadn't. There's no reason this trial should have been brought to bear. I've explained this quite thoroughly. So first and foremost, let's look at, can you tell me what he was convicted of?

Anyone who comes and tells you and asks you, well, he was convicted of what? Well, he was convicted of the hush money payments to Stormy Daniels. That's an expired misdemeanor. Next. Do you see the point that I was explaining to you two days ago and yesterday? In order for this to be prosecuted as a federal crime, it had to be tied to a felony. But they were never told. We were never told. Bragg never articulated what that was. Do you see now why it's suspect? Now, imagine you run a stop sign, but they're like, oh, well, you committed another felony. What? Yeah, so now we've got to prosecute a misdemeanor as a federal offense. That's exactly what happened here. Exactly what happened here. And it is untested, unproven legal theory. I will fight to the death on that fact. Why do I say that? Because this is never, this is a case that's never been tried like this. I think that ultimately, and I know it's got to get through the appellate court, but I think ultimately this is good this case will be over, the decision will be overturned.

cannot prosecute an expired misdemeanor as a federal case. And you cannot sit here and try to tie it to this unarticulated, unspecified mystery felony that you said that he did. Now, I'll tell you this. I think that immorality is not illegality. I'm not overlooking the fact that, you know, he kind of got himself into the situation. Can we get past that for a moment? That's neither here nor there. It's separate compartmentalize it. You're not endorsing Any affair, you're not endorsing anything. Hell, you don't even have to endorse the man to recognize this was a witch hunt. They made up a felony that they never told anyone about.

They instructed the jury to not even consider it. Just make a determination about a felony based on an expired misdemeanor. That's what this was about. That's why this is so stupid. That's why this case is bunk. It is a bunk case. Now, as I said, this, the verdict, I think, think it will be eventually overturned. I also think that Joe Biden personally litigated this

or his team litigated it from the White House. Because they had Matthew Colangelo. He was the consultant for a DNC ex-Obama donor. Miranda Devine had a photo of him yesterday, like his actual photo where he was there at the courtroom. He was involved in all this. He was involved in all this. I mean, you had a guy who took a demotion so that he could work on this case. I mean, there's a lot of very interesting things here that play into the fact that helped build the case that it was. And it was. It was a political witch hunt. We're going to talk more about that.

The other thing I want to get into, too, with all of this, I've heard this used over and over again. Well, John Edwards, Dana. John Edwards got in trouble because he used campaign money. Oh, let's talk about John Edwards. That happened. What was that in 2006? I was going to say eight or six. Say eight or maybe it's 2008.

Yeah. Yeah. Let me tell you about John Edwards. John Edwards was the Golden Boy at one point. He was the VP ticket for John Kerry. He was a senator from South Carolina. He was this well-respected Southern Senator. He was styled as like a new Kennedy.

a new JFK. He had all the manners, and he, you know, had them perfect southern gentleman manners and it seemed anyway on the optics.

They were really building him up. Well, then he stepped into it. He had an affair on his dying wife with Ryle Hunter, who was a videographer with his campaign. She made video shorts for the campaign.

And he ended up having a baby with her. And initially, he tried to blame his, or tried to have an underling on his staff, take responsibility for the parentage of this child. And ultimately it came out. You know, he had to admit that it was him as his baby.

He had to take a DNA test, all this stuff. So he was swindling this 96-year-old heiress, Bunny Mellon, Rachel Mellon. She's the hei-to-the-Mellon. It's a 97-year-old bunny melon who financed all of this stuff. Now, John Edwards was already mid-campaign. The money that he was using literally came from campaign donors. and it was an astronomical amount. The number, the amount of money that was in this NDA case in the Trump-Stormey-Daniels case

didn't even make the legal measure of being considered an offense higher than a misdemeanor. It was way lower, number one. Number two, it was his money from his own account when he wasn't even campaigning before he even announced. So there are differences there. I realize that for the people who don't understand the John Edwards case, that looks like an attractive analogy to make. This guy was literally mid-campaign using campaign money. And then he hired this chick and was paying her with campaign funds. That's why they had to remove all of Rael Hunter's video shorts that she made for the John Edwards campaign.

They had to take it all off his website because it was a finance violation, campaign finance violation. So they're not even remotely the same. Stop making this comparison. Coming up, we're going to talk about how Illinois should be jailed. how this trial was literally Biden ran, when it was just a sex scandal with Bill Clinton, Paula Jones and her check, why Hillary Clinton should be in jail. Oh, why Congress should be in jail? Because let me remind you of the sex scandal slush fund that Congress uses to pay off people, right?

To quiet side pieces. We're going to discuss all of that. We're also going to talk about why rule of law matters, why people should stop getting mad if you're a Republican and you were for a different person in the primary. Look, I supported DeSantis in the primary. that has no bearing on whether or not this is a witch hunt. I don't ever want this to happen to me or anyone I know. So I'm like purely acting for selfish reasons here.

I'm going to explain why John Adams defended the British and how that's important and analogous to this case today. We're going to stop with the ridiculous rhetoric. We're also going to get into what's next and how every Republican AG needs to drag the ass of every single Democrat official in their state. And red states need to go ham. We're going to talk about all of that and more coming up. Like I said, it's a. pack show. So buckle up. We got a lot of content for you today. So set immigration politics aside for a moment. New diseases are entering through U.S. borders and infections. The University

of Nebraska's Med Center has been tracking it. USA Today is written about it. All kinds of infections diseases. Plus, you remember the medication shortages during COVID and remember not being able to see a doctor and long lines at the ER. So my advice is to prepare for the next disease or infection. Get out in front of it. Order a medical emergency kit from the wellness company. Now, it's not a first aid kit. It's like having an urgent care in your house with essential prescriptions. And it comes with doctor-prescribed meds to treat over 39 different medical issues. And these are strong antibiotics for infections of all type, like strep throat, pneumonia, UTIs, bronchitis, so much more.

Plus, there's an easy doctor's guide you can follow. So you'll know exactly when and how to use it without a trip to the doctor or the hospital or the pharmacy.

Is Trump going to raise taxes? Donald Trump promises to raise tariffs on Chinese imports. That may cost China more, but tariffs are just taxes on business which are tacked onto the products that you pay for. Check out the watchdog on Wall Street podcast on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

All right, so Madonna was sued by a fan for emotional stress because they were forced to watch this geriatric chick, this plasticine geriatric chick, perform sex acts in heat. Like it was hot out, not that she was in heat. She's too old for that. But anyway, I don't want to see somebody, Anana's age out there grinding and thumpin. You know, like, we don't need to be seeing any of that.

But somebody actually sued because they were grossed out. And I find this story so unbelievably hysterical. Justin La Pellis is the guy who filed a class action suit. They were in Englewood. And he says, no, you guys breached your contract. And he said, you've started over 90 minutes late. You lip-sink the performance. And you were a giant whore.

That's his complaint. 37% of Americans paid a late fee in the last 12 months, according to a report, because Bidenomics is now making fees appear out of everywhere. Fees for everybody. Zero down mortgages are making a comeback. And by the way, this was one of the absolute exact whole

programs that crashed the market back in 08 with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and no money down and lowering the criteria for loan acceptance. Three suspects are in custody after a reported machete attack, injures one at Times Square McDonald's. Well, it's a good thing that they banned all the guns, right? We need more

machete control. Thankfully, only one was injured. But somebody just, it was a dude who, there was a guy stabbed in both legs. There were three men who apparently shared a machete outside of Times Square, you know, Bidomics. The victim was not identified. He was taking a Bellevue. It was like in the middle of the afternoon, 1 p.m. Adam McDonald's, for crying out loud. And the cicada invasion has people freaking out. And I, they say we're under attack and it's really gross. I only have heard a handful of cicadas. That is my favorite sound on earth is hearing cicadas in summer, a summer evening. It's the best sound ever. All right. So coming What's next? I'll explain.

Posted daily from The Dana Show. Do you plan to request a prison sentence? Donald Trump's multiple violations of the gag order that was in place. The judge scheduled a sentencing for July 11th. We will speak in court in that time. He also said a motion schedule. We will speak in our court filings as we've done throughout this proceeding. So Alvin Bragg being asked earlier today whether or not he's going to seek jail time for Trump in this case.

Welcome back. Daniel Lash with you. bottom of this first hour. And it has been a very busy day already, big news day. And we've been recapping all of this stuff. And I want to remind you as well that I, as I've said, this is, it is, I do believe, a watershed moment in American politics, but I want you to take heart. This is a, I think it was, regardless of what you think on Trump, I don't care whether not you love or hate him. I think people who make an idol of their own. opinion on this issue are missing the force for the trees. Because this is about the diminishment

of the legal system. And there is no way that you can sit here and elevate an expired felony, try to tie it to a mystery felony, an expired misdemeanor, try to tie it to a mystery felony, so you can take this out of state court and prosecuted as a federal offense. It's stupid. It's never before ever, ever, ever in the history of the judicial system been tried. And I just gave you last segment, why John Edwards was a horrible analogy. People who try to compare to the John Edwards case do not know or understand the John Edwards case. And you can go back if you want to recap that. So what is next? There's two ways to look at it. I wrote a piece last night where I was, you know, I was still processing everything. And I said, I said, Democrats are playing a very dangerous game

in two ways. The first thing is that I think they did, maybe one of the worst things they could possibly do going into November. Democrats need the election to be made all about Trump, because that actually does help the left. But instead of making this about Trump v. Biden, they've made it about Trump versus the system. And when you make the debate about Trump versus the system, any random everyday average American can substitute themselves in his spot. Every single person has a distrust of the government. I mean, that's really part of our DNA as Americans. It's one of the things upon which this country was founded. A distrust of the government. We also, because of a lot of evidence of the past several decades, have a genuine and well-founded distrust of a lot of these

bureaucratic agencies. And as of such, every single person has a grievance. The worst thing that Democrats can do is distill this down so that people can see themselves in the person that's fighting against the system because then they look at it not so much as the candidate versus the system. They're looking at it as they versus the system. And that makes it a lot easier for independents to go out and start casting their vote for Trump over Biden. And a case and point about independence, independents aren't independence because they're moderate Democrats or they're moderate Republicans. They usually hate both sides, but they hate the government more. So keep that in mind when you're looking at a lot of these surveys and when you're looking

about how to reach these voters. There's a reason why they're independent. They're not moderates. In fact, it's anything but. But they did the worst thing that they could do to reframe this. Like I said, regardless where you stand, this verdict is ridiculous because the case is ridiculous. Again, you're taking an expired misdemeanor and you're trying to tie it to a mystery felony that you don't actually substantiate. And then you tell the jury to disregard the felony and only look at the expired misdemeanor. this is completely new on tested theory. Completely new. I was reading this piece from New York Magazine and it was a CNN legal analysis via Brigham,

who said that, in fact, no state prosecutor in New York or Wyoming or anywhere has ever charged federal election laws as a direct or predicate state crime against anyone for anything, none ever. And he adds, even putting aside the specifics of election law, the Manhattan DA itself almost never brings any case in which falsification of business records is the only charge. And that's it. So it is untested. It's never been done before. And now everyone's asking what's next. So this brings me to where I was torn yesterday, but I'm not now. I want to see every single Republican Attorney General across the country drag. And I mean drag.

every Democrat official into such lawfare that they have to mortgage their homes, their bodies, their birth certificates, just to finance the defense. That's what I want to see. I want full prison cells. I want a new Thermidorian reaction. Go back and read that because the French Revolution was a failure. But before the revolution, the little period between the Revolution and Napoleon,

there was a Thermidorian reaction where you had some people who realized that Robs Pier was crazy. And they're like, we got to seize from these Jacobins. We got to seize the reins of power from these people and bring back more decentralization and more common sense and, you know, more a little more manners and decency. And so they did. And that's what ended up happening. They disposed of them. Deposed of them. It was short lived because there weren't any fantastical personalities involved and there weren't any flashy leaders. And people were like, wait, decentralization. What? We want welfare. So it was a little short-lived, but it does refer to seizing power from pretend revolutionaries who are really communists who want to take control of government,

but they're overthrown. We need that. Now, I also realize, and this is where I was torn yesterday, and I want to explain this, I realize that the only thing, now hear me out, don't think I'm going one way because I'm not. I realize that the only thing preventing this republic, from sliding into the practice of full-scale third world politics is respect for our founding Republican principles. I get that. Because our adherence, our conservatives to rule of law this entire time is really been the only thing that has kept it intact. But here's the thing, this is the rub. Democrats benefit from that in both treatment and optics because they use our efforts at preservation as this veneer for their abridgment of the rule of law. And our government

still somewhat functions because at least one ideology is, you know, upholding our commitment to this grand experiment. You know, I agree, we need to elect new officials. We need to wait for the appeals process. But then again, why should we be cautious with our reaction to a kangaroo court? Because demonstrating caution, and I made this point last night on social media, demonstrating caution confers a respect on the court's actions that it doesn't merit. I refuse to recognize the authority of a prosecutor who, Rube Goldberg, a Bass-Ackwood's justification for a felony indictment on a non-existent crime. So we may have crossed the Rubicon.

Now, I say may, and I think this is important. This isn't going to be determined, I think, until November. I say we may have crossed the Rubicon. A lot of people say they're done and they're finished and blah, blah, blah, and all this other stuff, but then they don't go out and vote. Voter turnout is more of a threat to the Republican Party than the Democrats are. Voter turnout is more of a threat to Trump in November than Democrats are. I am happy to spend an entire week's worth of broadcasts going state by state for a 10-year period because I've been doing this research for quite some time and showing you the difference in turnout

and how it killed Republican chances in different districts. You just give me the word and I'll go and we'll deep dive into that. I've done election coverage going on 20 years now. When Republicans lose, it's because they don't turn out. This is how we lost the Senate. the Georgia special election. I was there on the ground in Georgia. The turnout was abysmal. It was lower than what it was in 2016, even in the most conservative district. In Texas, do you know that in my district, Beto O'Rourke beat Ted Cruz by over 2,000 votes?

And do you know that there were several thousand registered Republicans that stayed home? He didn't win because more people voted for him overall. He won because Republicans. Republican stayed home. Sure, more people if you want to just be completely into semantics. More people voted for him, Dana. But there wasn't more people to vote for him in the district if you get my drift. This is what I'm talking about. So I say may. We may have crossed the Rubicon. But we're at that point. We're there. That's going to be determined again by what happens in November. It's hard for me to think, you know, a lot of people immediately. immediately want to say, oh, we want, are we at a civil war period, all this other stuff?

We're not at a civil war period if we can't even get people out to vote. Let's do things in an orderly fashion, okay? Now, the reason I say this is because certain fights must be engaged full bore with no looking back. And I think that people need to be careful of such commitments because caution is a sign of wisdom. And people who've never felt the fire of any kind of battle. are always the people who are most eager to make the commitment to get into it. So think on this. But which way is right? I have friends. I was in a couple of conversations this morning and last night

and group discussions that were cautioning me about the AG Rob Dana. You know, rule of law here. Well, wait a minute. I am talking about rule of law. What are you talking about? I'm talking about not overlooking things like just giving out fines. Case in point, Hillary Clinton. actually did what Trump was accused of in New York. Now, where does she live, Cain? What state? New York. Did Alvin Brad go after her?

Kane, did he go after her? No, he sure didn't. He sure didn't. They sure didn't, did he? They had a lot more evidence. Yeah, they did have a lot more evidence. And I'm not even talking about the erasing of the servers. No, no, no.

I'm specifically talking about her campaign finance violation. Yeah. Let's go back to 2016. She contracted her law firm, Perkins Cooey. and through Perkins Coohy, what did they do? They hired the third party Fusion GPS. You remember Fusion GPS?

Fusion GPS was the entity that hired the disgraced spy Chris Steele sent him to Russia, had him work with the Kremlin. They came back with all this stupid opo that they, it's like they got it from 4chan. It was almost like a 4chan trick.

That's why the FBI refused to verify any of the information that he had. And through Fusion. GPS. They laundered the gossip in the press. And then they took the press articles to a FISA court didn't tell them that it was paid for

campaign research. And then they got a surveillance warrant and went to spy on people that worked in the Trump campaign just based on that reporting. Oh, and don't take my word for it. Take the numerous IG reports that verify all of this.

It's the wrap-up smear. We played yesterday. Exactly. they merchandised it like Nancy Pelosi instructed yesterday. They merchandised it through the press. Now, she was fined six figures. She violated campaign finance law. She was found guilty of doing this. And I will add the funds that she had misappropriated to use for this were far greater.

It was far greater amount than the amount. that Trump used before he was even campaigning when he was not campaigning out of his own bank account as a part of an NDA. Very different. But Hillary Clinton, Kane, they never said, wow, here is, and that was actually hers wasn't really a misdemeanor. But see, typically for campaign finance violations, because it can be such tenuous law, they just, a fine is the only thing that's issued. It's really not litigated like that. John Edd's, Edwards was so egregious and into the millions of dollars. That's why it was litigated like that because his was really bad in numerous states. And he was like defrauding a 96 year old widow,

but that's a whole other part. But Hillary Clinton, it would have been very easy to say, wow, Hillary Clinton, you wiped your server clean. You had classified information. That actually is a felony. And they could have substantiated that. Here's the existence of a felony. We're going to take this. And the amount by which she had done this technically I think it, well, it was greater than Trump's for sure, but that was more than a misdemeanor. They could have elevated that and they could have tried her on the same exact thing in New York, but they could have actually done it on evidence and they didn't do it. Very interesting, isn't it?

But, you know, even before Hill Dog, you had Bill. In Arkansas, you remember when Bill paid off Paula Jones? Do we have this audio real quick? And then I know we got to get going. Can I just play this real fast? Audio soundbite. 17. Flashback. Here's Paula Jones showing off the check Bill Clinton paid.

her to shut up. Watch this. Flashback. Paula Jones. Show them the check. It's your check. There's the check. Well, it's not going to be saying anything. Her attorneys are here today. So kind of officially, I think what we... You all remember that,

don't you? That was far greater. And that's while Bill Clinton was campaigning. So see, that's when it was just a sex scandal to Democrats, though. That's when it was just a sex scandal. They used to think like that, but now all of a sudden they don't. Very interesting, right? It's political lawfare, but it's an unprecedented theory. And they try, they, they, I mean, it's wild how this played out. And it's not going to stop there. This was the weakest case against him. Where do you think it'll go from here?

It's conservatives like Donald Trump who, you know, called for the death penalty against some innocent young men in New York and who want to lock everybody up, including Hillary Clinton. That's not the way I feel as a liberal and I don't want to inflict any suffering on anybody. Oh, shut up, Jamie Raskin. Nobody cares. They called for me, he's saying, no, they want to lock everybody up.

That's not the way I feel is a liberal. You're not a liberal. You're a communist. Stop appropriating Tocqueville's word. You absolute communist. Stop it. You're the people who wanted to lock everybody up. Good night.

I mean, we could go down the list. I still have so much for you guys to get into. And I want you to feel uplifted. I don't want you to feel like it's the end of the world. We got the appeals to go there. I think this is going to go all the way up federal because you can't prosecute a state crime as a federal offense. But I also have two headlines that are going to really make you mad.

And then I got some silly stuff where you just take you into the weekend. But I want to make sure that you understand this so that when people go, well, he was convicted, you can look at them with confidence and go, of what? Of what? And then when they try to name the misdemeanor, then you can ask them, okay, name the felony that he committed that it's tied to. And then see what they say. We still have a lot to discuss y'all a lot to talk about. We're going to talk about what's next. You know Ken Paxson's going to be on with us later because it's time for red states to go ham. And it's time for red state AGs to go hammer time. I don't know. We're going to talk to him about that coming up. Stick with us. You need to be drinking actual good coffee and save yourself money because you're drinking good coffee. Bad coffee. Bad coffee. gets wasted. Bad coffee doesn't get brewed. And with Black Rifle Coffee, you're getting a veteran-owned veteran-run effort into the best roasted coffee beans you could ever possibly get your hands on.

That's 20% off using code Dana at black rifle coffee.com. I do believe this print court should step in. Obviously, this is totally unprecedented. And it's dangerous to our system. I mean, we've all discussed this before, and you all talk about it all the time.

This is diminishing the American people's faith. and our system of justice itself. And to maintain a republic, you have to have that. People have to believe that justice is fair, that there's equal justice under law. Well, and that's true. And that's Speaker Johnson, who he and a lot of other Republicans were hitting out at this yesterday. This ridiculous verdict, we spent it, we just went through our first hour of programming, going through all of it.

Welcome back. Dana Lash with you, top of the second hour. And you can listen coast to coast. You can stream the radio program. you can watch the simulcast, the video component, Channel 347 Direct TV, you can catch us on X and Rumble and YouTube and all that other good stuff. So we've been running through this. And again, two things that I want to tell you. And I'm going to reset every hour like this. I get it that you are deflated and you're depressed and you're mad. But I want you to remember

there's an appeals process. Ultimately, I think federally this is going to get overturned. because you cannot take an expired misdemeanor and then tie it to some sort of mystery felony so that you can justify prosecuting it in federal court. That's cuckoo. And it's never been done ever in the history of our legal system. It hasn't. That is why you even have lefty and righty legal experts going, oh, hey, hold up. That's why they're all freaking out over this.

So I want you to keep that in mind. Keep in mind that America is a country that loves an underdog. America loves a comeback story. We're the country that created Red Dawn for crying out loud. So this, too, we will deal with. And in keeping with that, you should be motivated to do everything you can to get out the vote in November. Do you want to help? Do you really want to help?

Because bitching about it on social media doesn't move the needle. It doesn't. Literally it's been measured. It doesn't. If you want to help, nothing will scare Democrats more than to see you out there helping to get out the vote. Canvassing, volunteering for campaigns. I know you want to sit out and grill, but don't you think that you can give up a couple of weekends to go and do this so you don't have to deal with Joe Biden after November? Isn't that a good tradeoff? I think that's a good trade off. Kane, is that a good tradeoff? That sounds like a good deal, sir. that sounds like a good deal. Let's shake on it. All right? That's what you need to be doing. The second thing that I want people to be reminded of, and this is for a certain group of people out there who I love you dearly,

but I need you to realize that no one is asking you to endorse Trump simply by acknowledging that this case is cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs, okay? We're not saying, you've got to compartmentalize. These are two different issues. Let's not be the left and throw it all together in one. big homogenous suit, please. Compartmentalize. Recognize that this case is nuts. I don't ever want this to be established as a legal precedent and used against me or people

I love. You can recognize that without forfeiting whatever you think about Trump. So please keep that in mind. You're not losing anything except rule of law if you continue to allow political zealotry to inform you and lead your opinion about this circus of a case. And it was a circus of a case. Let's not lie about this. So I just want people to keep that in mind.

Okay. Do you guys remember the one other quick thing. We're going to get into what's next. Do you guys remember this story? I'm pulling this up. It's the Navy's mantra. and you had, this was the USS Chesapeake during the war of 1812, and you had the captain James Lawrence.

He was mortally wounded by a British sharpshooter. And he knew that the enemies were going to get on his vessel. And his final order that he gave, don't give up the ship. Fight her till she sinks. Instead of maybe flying the American flag upside down, fly that flag. Don't give up the ship.

Keep going. All right. Now that that's been established, let's look at some of this other side. I had to set the table just to get everybody in the right frame of mind. We went through last hour, and you absolutely can go back to the last hour, because I explain how this comparisons to John Edwards are stupid, gave the history of John Edwards. It was just a sex scandal with Bill Clinton. We played the video of Paula Jones showing off the check that Bill Clinton paid her to shut up. But that was okay.

and Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton lives in New York. She actually did these crimes. Hers rises past a misdemeanor. And there was a felony that she also committed that it could have been tied to. She could have been tried in federal court, but she's a Democrat. Because it's K.D. Different.

That's right. That's right. Rule of law matters. Rule of law is very important. Now, this was the weakest case against Trump. I have said that I thought the Mar-a-Lago case is actually the case to worry about. I think the Georgia case is I think the presidential immunity

is that whole SCOTUS thing with J6 is stupid this case was Marlago case though is different but they messed it up remember they messed that one up because they went in and they were so concerned with staging photos this is the

Kaine this is the influencer era that's what happened you know what it was that's what happened it's the influencer era and so they they were staging all these photos and they messed up all of the boxes of classified information, so they forgot to note what was classified and what wasn't. That's why they postponed and may never have this trial now.

Because they were asking his aide, Walt Nauta, okay, well, what box did you move? And his attorneys are like, what the hell are you talking about you? We don't even know what box. We can't even tell them because you messed it all up. They didn't even, when they tried to put it back together, they didn't have the right cover letters to go with the right documentation. That's how bad it was. So they may have messed that up.

the case that they had that was the strongest. So really what's next is I know that July 11th is when he's going to be back that he's going to be back in court and we're going to find out the judge could theoretically. Jonathan Turley was was speculating about this. He thinks there's some others who don't think this. He thinks that what'll happen is it'll be a fine and that the judge is not going to recommend jail time. That's what he thinks. I do understand how others are like, well, we've got to this point where, you know, if you're going to go this far, why not go all the way? You know, I get it. But he, but Turley was saying that he believes that this will, you know, it'll probably be a fine and then there's not going to be any kind of jail sentence. And he could, but he could also say it could be

home confinement. He could just say any number of things. Weekend, jailing, I don't know. I mean, it's, the probation, the thing, the probation process does mean that he would have to get permission to go out of state to campaign and stuff like that. So we'll see. I don't know. I mean, I don't, any, I think any kind of jail sentence would add more fuel to the fire, obviously. But we'll see. This judge clearly needed to get the job done for his political party. And that's what it was. So what does that mean for Republicans? Blue states have been, are so unbelievably blue. They just operate without outside the confines of the law. They will declare themselves sanctuary city, sanctuary states. They'll refuse ICE detainers. They will do all of this other stuff. But oh my gosh,

if you're a red state and you want to protect your border and have a secure border, then all of a sudden they scream about rule of law. Fascinating how that works and doesn't, you know, or not, right? How fascinating is that? So I think red states need to go ham. I think red states need to beef up and be as red as the blue are blue. Now, last night, I was going back and forth with myself. Dana, is this going to slide us into a Banana Republic faster. Are we going to weaponize rule of law by encouraging attorney generals in these red states to go ham on all these. No, because if you broke a law, then by God, you should live with the penalty of it. They actually break the laws. They make up laws for our guys. They actually break the laws. So let's enforce it, shall we? Let's show them what enforcement means.

I want to see Ken Paxton on steroids. I mean, he kind of is, but I want to see him on more. I want to see Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey. These guys are the ones who wake up and they're like, whose ass can we kick today? I need all of the AGs to be doing that. I feel like Florida's AG is doing it also. She was getting spicy on social media. I feel like she's going to be joining that A-Team too.

We need an A-Team of AGs. And every single Democrat that has broken ill, Illinois should be thrown in jail. She committed a campaign finance violation. The amount was greater than that of what Trump was accused of. And it was actually a campaign finance violation, six figures. She was fined. Throw her in jail.

Go back. Try her. Throw the book, the full extent of the law. Find the boundary. And then see how far you can go over it until you're restrained. That's where I'm at. So I know when I was writing last night, my first thought when I get really mad, I've trained myself, is to be cautious.

So I thought about it. And I don't want to be cautious anymore, Kane. because brutalists only understand brutality. Do they not? You got to speak their language. You got to speak their language. My youngest likes to say, well, if you fight fire with fire, you'll set everything on fire. But then you can, you know, the ashes can be used as fertilizer.

That's true. Right? So I think the red states need to go ham. Full on ham. And I think that every AG, a Republican, A.G. needs to be called to account. If there's a Democrat that has been shady in that street and there's not a prosecution, you demand why. Protest outside of their office. It's time for you also to start pushing buttons. Because Republicans don't like to be protested. It makes them

super nervous. Republican politicians, they, they're used to Democrats protesting them, but Republicans, they freak out. That's why they all collectively defecated their drawers when the Tea Party started protesting them. They're like, what? They freaked out. They had no idea what to do. So if they're not doing what you won't protest them, hound them, make their lives hell. It's time. Remember, in the cinematic masterpiece, ladies and gentlemen, that is Roadhouse. Patrick Swayze was teaching, it is a cinematic masterpiece. Should have won an Oscar. Don't you laugh at me. Patrick Swayze was instructing the bouncer team, the security team, as to how to treat disruptive unruly patrons, right?

And he said, and all of his genius, be nice until it's time to not be nice. It's time to not be nice. Now, I've been waiting to say that to you for years. Nothing, I mean, my heart just flutters the joy because that's my language. But I'm telling you, it's time. You need to hound Republican AGs. If there are not a ton of process. If there's not a ton of charges being filed in every single state by next week, you need to demand why.

It is time. Hunter Biden should be dragged. I can think of nothing better than making an example out of the first son. Dems the rules. Look, if they can prosecute people over non-existent crimes, you sure as hell can prosecute them for existing ones. I don't care, Trey Gowdy. if you don't normally prosecute people for line on a 4473, welcome to the new world we do now.

And we go to the fullest extent of the law. We cool aid man through the wall. That's what needs to happen. Because brutes only understand brutalism. So make it brutal. It's time for lawfare. It's time to get out the vote and have the appeals process. But this relies on you.

You have to be, you got to be some of the push on this, y'all. I promise you it's really fun. And then record yourself doing it. Be on social media. That's when you get social media working for you. I don't want to see people just complaining on social media. I want a video outside of elected officials. Why is this elected, ask all your elected officials.

Why are you, Mr. Republican representative, not demanding that the AG file suit here? Why are you, Mr. Republican senator, are not demanding that this AG go after X, Y, Z? Z. All of them need to be pushed. Can I talk about Larry Hogan coming up? Larry Hogan is an example of why. We're going to have a conversation. You don't want to miss it.

We've got headlines on the way. We've got so much more to come. As we roll into the bottom of this second hour, ladies and gentlemen, our very good friends, Kel-Tac, Florida-based company, American Born and Bread. And it's a great American success story. George Kellgren was like,

bye, Sweden. And he came to the US of A. freedom lives and he created a gun company. God bless America. It's Keltech and they turn out boom sticks and they're amazing. They're high quality. They're so good and they're innovative. He's like a mad scientist, but in the best, most American way possible. And so Keltech, they make all kinds of awesome stuff. And one of the things that they make that's shipping now is the Gen 3 version of the sub 2K. It folds in half. It's a 9mm carbine that folds in half. Ladies, if you got a Louis Vuitton, put it in your speedy. You got, not even kidding.

Nine millimeter carbine that folds in half. You don't even have to detach your favorite optic. It's game-changing innovation and super high performance. And they did a lot of upgrades on the Gen 3. Sub 2K got upgraded action. You got a redesigned operating handle for added comfort. And ambidextrous bolt hold open, a light and five-pound trigger pull, all providing improvement manipulation and translating to improved accuracy.

And they're all quality made right here in the US of A. So check out everything. Keltic has to offer. for you at celticweapons.com. K-E-L-T-E-C-Weapons.com. Follow them on social media. That's keltecweapons.com. Tell them, Dana sent you.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. So the Pew Research Center thought that you needed a poll to explain to you that more than half of Americans are following the election news closely and many are already worn out. We're also worn out of stupid polls that you don't have to take polls about. That's my poll. Pew.

FYI. A fire destroyed part of Legoland's theme park in Denmark, and it melted the fame building of replicas. What kind of horror show did that create? Can you imagine the melty faces of Lego people? Good night. They thought it was caused by a short circuit. It destroyed part of Mineland, a section of the park with replicas, a famous buildings made of Legos. It's in Copenhagen.

And the video surveillance showed that it started one of the electric cars that runs on the rails and was being recharged overnight. Legoland spokesperson Kaspotansk, said. That's his name. It's Mr. Mrs. Catholic son.

You know that? Let's see. Also, in Japan, a screen, well, gosh, this is like the fourth time this has made appearance. Orange juice makers

consider other, using other fruits after prices go crazy. Global industry is in crisis. The Brazilian harvest is helping to push wholesale prices to record high. So orange juice makers

are like, well, what about other juices? No. Orange trees in Brazil, they've been suffering from citrus greening and incurable disease. They've had a lot of stress, drought, things like that, the flowering period, blah, blah, blah, stabs like insects.

Just horrors of horrors. So they're like considering other fruits like apple, mango, or grapes, which all sound horrible. No, no one wants mango juice. Give us orange juice or give us death. Colorado police officer found a live rattlesnake in a car during a drug bus. There is a snake

in this car. A rattlesnake. Like, it was in the car. Stick with us. We got a lot more in store next. Elevate your commute, workouts, or downtime with the Dana Show podcast. Unleash the power of knowledge at your fingertips

by following Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Just like everyone else has that opportunity. That's how the American system of justice works. And it's reckless. It's dangerous. It's irresponsible

for anyone to say this was rigged just because they don't like the verdict. Our justice system has endured for nearly 250 years. And it isn't just... How many times did Biden say he's an illegitimate candidate? Oh, God. For 2016.

I mean, there's a video montage that we've played. They've all said it. Hillary Clinton and everyone else. No, you don't get to say that. You literally did it after George W. Bush won. And then you did it after Trump won in 2016. You don't get to be like, well, you guys created that. you own it. Welcome back to the program, bottom of the second hour. That's recent, just new audio from

Joe Biden who's speaking now about Middle East and he's talking about Israel's offered a new road. We'll bring you the highlights, but I'm not, we're not going to, we're choosing not to carry it live, but we will bring you the hits, so to speak. I just wanted to put that in your ear, though. This is, you know, what we've been discussing here is the problem with a lot of these, I think one of the reasons why we're in this position is weak Republicans. I have been raging against weak Republicans for a long time since I got into politics. Since, geez, W was still in office. I didn't like No Child Left Behind because it set the stage for Common Core.

I didn't like the federal. I didn't like the increase in federal involvement. I didn't like too big to fail. and like the Fannie Mae Freddie Mac stuff. I mean, I've been raging. I mean, there's a reason. Someone's like, why weren't you at the Texas Republican convention? Why would they invite me?

The establishment hates me. People who are trying to ingratiate themselves with the establishment are nervous around me. They've never, I think, what do you get invited to this stuff? Good night. No, I've been watching some of the Republican response. And I do think that there have been a lot of Republicans, including the speaker,

are able to, they note that this is just, it's a bad verdict, and we've been talking about this. But can we, for a moment, can we discuss Larry Hogan? So, Larry Hogan, I had a conversation with my husband last night, because whenever I think I'm about to post something on social media, that might be, I don't know, a little flamy. I always, I text my husband, or I'll ask my husband. or I'll ask my husband. I'm like, what do you think of this? What did I, I, I showed it to Kane last night. Huh?

There's some, you can't, you can't. There's some that we can't. You can't even show it on the screen. Can't even show it on the screen. Well, and here's why, I'm pulling it up right now. Here's why. In my defense, I saw this tweet from Larry Hogan. Here it is.

It was last night. Don't you be thinking about getting a draft of that one? I had a draft tweet first off. Larry Hogan tweeted this last night, quote, regardless of the result, I urge all Americans to respect the verdict in the legal process. At this dangerously divided movement in our history, all leaders, regardless of party must not pour fuel on the fire with more toxic partisanship. We must reaffirm what made this nation great the rule of law. I had tweeted, and this wasn't my original response. And you can guess why in a moment. I quote tweeted him and said, we have no obligation to confer respect to a sham verdict from a kangaroo court that doesn't. merit it. Stop being a female copulatory organ and fight back for once. That was a clean edit too, by the way. That was a nice clean edit because you saw the original. I sure did. Yeah. And I asked my husband, I'm like, can I call Larry Hogan this? And he goes, why do you want to say this? I'm like, because it's illegal. This is literally what we were texting.

I was in my office and he was in his office, different parts of the house. And I'm like, can I do? And he's like, do you really want to do this? Like, gosh, stop it. He was right, which I'm not going to say very often, but he was right. He was correct. He's a good temper. Now you can see why we work so well. Because I was like, can I not do it? It's like, maybe you should rethink it. I did. I still want to do it. It's like, is that really what you want to do? It aggravated me because there's a reason why we're in this position. Republicans, you can't do the George W. Bushman-Romney way anymore. You can't be nice. You're not going to nice your way out of this situation. There's a time to be nice and a time to not be nice. Again, it's Dalton. So from Broadhouse, the cinematic masterpiece and a mantra of our lives once famously and very, very smartly stated. And this is one of those times. This is why I say you need to have all these Republican AGs and we're going to have Ken Paxton on later on in the program dragging these Democrats.

I want to see people in shackles. Oh, yes, I do. Don't, Dana, your rhetoric. Stop it. I'm done. I want to see the perp walk so long. that it looks like a royal wedding march. You know what I mean?

Like I want a black carpet and I want a perp walk. That's what I want. I want that. I want to see it. I know you do too because I'm done. I'm done being nice. I've been nice. I've gone against my nature.

I've been nice. You've been nice. And what did you get for it? All your money's being sent to Hamas and Ukraine. you get for it? You know, you can still be godly and not be nice, like they want you to be nice. Just be honest. Be righteously indignant. You know, you can't do it properly. But I'm done accommodating. I'm done with weak Republicans. Everyone wants to make this the hill to die on. Prove it. Turn out in November with such

a force that Democrats wet the bed. Prove it. Otherwise, all this talk is for nothing. I get so aggravated. Every election. Prove it. Turn out to vote. Ask make sure everybody that you know

in your circle is registered to vote and goes and votes. Otherwise, you're not dying on this hill. I don't believe you. I don't believe a single thing anybody says until I see what November is going to be like. That's what needs to happen. But these weak Republicans, like Larry Hogan, well, you know, we need to respect. Respect what? What is there to respect about a finagled charge where an expired misdemeanor was tied to a felony, a mystery

felony? Literally, I want you to realize that's what it is. If someone disagrees with you and they go, no, he was convicted. Of what? He was convicted of a pain off stormy to animals, the hush money. That's an expired misdemeanor. Why was it tried in a federal court? They can't answer you because they don't know. You know why they don't know? The jury doesn't even know.

The public doesn't even know. Because the prosecution never said what it was. I'm not exaggerating. That is not me being a partisan. That is fact. And that you can take to the bank. They don't know. So they can never.

actually tell you what he was convicted of. Now you see why Turley and others were going, these instructions are weird. Because the jury, it suggests to me that maybe some of the jury was going, well, wait, what's the other charge that makes this a felony? Oh, we can't tell you that. You just got to decide on this. So you have to decide a federal, whether or not someone is guilty of a federal crime that you can only consider this misdemeanor. Yes. It's exactly what the jury was asked to do. You tell me how that's due process. Now I get it. There's some people who hate Trump so bad that they are willing to literally commit sepacu without realizing it. And those people are morons. I don't care who you voted for in the primary. You may have agreed with me in the primary. If you think like that though, sorry, I'm going to pray for your IQ. And I mean that as harshly because I hope it wakes people up. You've got to separate the two. For the sake of the republic, you've got to separate the two, honestly. One does not have to do with the other. immorality has nothing to do with illegality at all.

But rule of law matters. And here's why this matters. We are either a nation that stands apart from everybody else or we're not. One of my favorite stories of the revolution happened before the War of Independence. Because you had the Revolution and then you had the War of Independence. There are two different things. The Revolution was the thinking and the debates and all of the movement up until then.

And in between that time, right before, well, during that time, right before the War of Independence, really what kicked it off was Boston Massacre. Interestingly, Chris Panadics, the first person to die, he's a black American. And there was a lot of discussion as to what trigger. Why did the British soldiers fire? Because they're British. They're rat bastards. That's why.

That was the prevailing thought, right? These subjugated colonists were done with it. And they were pushing back against the, these troops and these troops just because they're horrible, soulless, British troops. They fired on these innocent colonists. And John Adams, one of the founders, cousin to Sam Adams. You need both. I think it's fascinating that history gave us the Sam Adams and a John Adams at the same time.

You had one who was fire and one who was cautious. And they were both smart and how they did it. One was bad cop, one was good cop, and it was brilliant. And John Adams was asked, can you? defend these British soldiers. It would have been so easy for John Adams to say, no, to hell with them. I'm going with what everyone else says. They're evil because they're red coats and they fired on these colonists because of their

evilness being a red coat. But he said, well, let's look at the story. So he worked to help investigate it and he defended successfully these British soldiers. And what was discovered is that the mob was getting riotous and understanding. the soldiers feared for their lives and this is where the fighting words later came into play with American law and with speech because they felt the need to defend themselves and that's ultimately how it played out but John Adams was not making heroes out of the British he was very clear and he was surgical he was saying justifiably this is what the colonists were feeling and then this is

what the British, how the British reacted because they felt this way. He was able to brilliantly. He didn't defend the British. He was defending rule of law in an emerging country that was going to be established on it. And can you imagine, ask yourself how successful our nation would have been if our first act as a country that was saying that we were going to be established on due process and fairness before and under the law by not being fair and denying due process before and under the law. And John Adams knew the great American experiment would be over before it began. That saved, that was the first act that saved America before America was America. Rule of law was so important.

He risked everything. He was a young man. His wife was pregnant. He was risking everything. And you know how fickle public affirmation can. be. People could not believe that he was doing this, but he was so dedicated to the cause of America and rule of law. He loved rule of law more than he liked politics. He loved rule of law more than he hated the British. And that enabled him to successfully make the case for due

process and how amazing is it such an own that in Britain they wouldn't have been given a fair shake but in America they were because America was about due process inequality not equity equality equal before the law and equal underneath it if you break it that is what makes America great and that is what John Adams proved and that is what Democrats denigrate today. It is what Democrats spit on today. And it's why if you

are as committed to this as you claim to be, you need to be doing everything possible starting now. Not in November, not in October, not in September, but now to get out the vote in November. We have Florida man on the way.

It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man. Well, we've got to do this Florida man who was arrested because we had the fire guy yesterday. The Florida man arrested for a fake bomb threat at a Boston hotel. He's taking this craziness up to Boston, shipping up to Boston. So this guy, pull us up, Boston Police Department, they were dispatched to the Liberty Hotel following a tip from a witness who overheard this guy. he was going to bomb the place.

They identified him as 62-year-old Mark DePaolo of Naples, and he told them they needed a bomb in his suitcase. And then they looked into it. He didn't, clearly. They arrested him. They detained him. And he had no explosives, no dangerous items, nothing. They are still, though, trying to figure out why in the world he was, like,

telling people who was going to do this. They didn't say that they were checking for mental health or anything. but I'm just going to say they probably were just going to say let's see here this oh this is hysterical Disney is literally paying Florida now Disney is building a fifth park under the new agreement with that to Santa's appointed Florida board and they're investing 17 billion in the state ah ha ha ha I love it oh my gosh remember what everyone's like that's a bad move to Santas no it wasn't this is so great so yeah it's a new agreement, they're investing 17 billion because not only are they not leaving Florida, they're paying to stay there. So look at that. They said the fifth park is going to be in addition to the Magic

Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom. But that's all anybody knows. And it's going to be a $17 billion investment. And how interesting is that? Look at that. Oh, remember how everyone was like, oh, Disney's so attacked and put upon? No, they're not. Look at that. They're pain. They're literally paying to stay there. Wasn't there a governor that said, hey, come to my state? Yeah, Nikki Haley was like, you can come to my state. Yeah, I don't think so. Let's see this.

Oh, I really don't want to talk about this woman. She's nasty. I have two nasty stories, and I really don't. I don't. Okay. Gosh, some of you people that send me these stories. So this has to do, this story has to do with this woman. And this was in, what's going on in Naples?

A Florida couple was having a romantic old time in an inappropriate fashion on a Naples pier. And when the police showed up, the woman apparently left the man and jumped into the water and tried to swim away. For real, this is NBC2. Did she escape? No, of course not. They got her. I mean, you know, seriously. And they were reported to the police by children ages 7 to 15.

So you can imagine what they were doing. Stick with us because we have Texas A.G. Ken Paxson can be joining us. And two stories that they're trying to dump today that you need to be aware of. Stick with us. Thank you very much. Mr. President, can you tell us, sir, Donald Trump refers to himself as a political prisoner and blames you directly? What's your response to that, sir?

Do you think the conviction will have an impact on the campaign? Dude, he's crazy. We'd love to hear your thoughts, sir. Should he be on the ballot, sir? He can't like walk. He turns around smart. Was he doing that? He was trying to do that to like be a snob, to be snarky.

And he ended up looking like a possessed old person and a horror film. You know, Kane says that old people aren't on innocent. So he says, in this case, yes. Welcome back. Whoa, welcome back to the program. Top of the third hour with you, Dana Lash. It's Friday. I want you to go into the weekend knowing that we, look, it's going to be okay, folks.

It's going to be okay. We've got appeals process. It's going to be okay unless you don't go out to vote. Then it's not going to be okay. Let me actually, hold up, hold up. First off, you know, you can listen coast to coast, stream the radio show, watch us on Channel 347, direct TV, X Rumble, YouTube, Facebook. There's a chat as well. It's going to be okay unless you don't go vote. And then it's not going to be okay. Then it's not. I can't make any promises. It's up to you. Can you go out to vote? Can you make sure that you know, make sure everyone in your circle, everyone you talk to, make sure they're registered to vote and that they go vote. is your job. You have one job. Make sure that they go vote. Be that person. Aggravate the hell out of people until they go vote. You see? And don't look, and this is where I'm going to take full advantage of everything that's offered. Yes, it's November 5th. If you can early vote, early vote. Make sure people go on

an early vote. I agree. I think it should be a national holiday, but it's not. And Democrats won it this way. So make it to where we have such a turnout that they want to only have one day too. See? You have to turn out with such force that they are terrified of what the results are going to be. And as I've said before, look, I've done election coverage for 20 years. I have been on the ground in numerous battleground states. I am telling you from my experience when Republicans lose. It's not because there are more Democrats in the area that outnumber Republicans. It is because Republicans don't turn out to vote every single time. And again, I live in one of the most conservative areas in Texas. In fact, our district is the last red urban district,

largest large red urban district in the country. Super conservative. And yet the last election, this was, was it 2022? 2020? Maybe in 2020. Ted Cruz lost a beta or work by 2,300-something votes. I can't remember. It's 2,300-something. Yeah. And it wasn't because there are more Democrats that live here. The California Exodus had nothing to do with it.

It's because Republicans who were registered to vote literally didn't go out and vote. And you can go to the Secretary of State's website and get all that information. It's public record. Yeah. Georgia, we lost the Senate because the special election, the turnout was less than what it was in 2016. It was less than what it was in 2020 for the general. That's a fact. It's crazy.

You've got to turn out to vote. So I want you to realize it's up to you. It's still in your hands. You don't need anyone to save you. You can save yourselves. Go out and vote. Make sure everybody can vote. That's your job.

And I'm going to say this every single day from now on. I'm going to make it to where you're like, oh my gosh, and you're going to start repeating what I say because you're going to know what I say before I say it. Make sure you go on vote and everyone around you is registered to vote and they go vote too. Now, that being said, the verdict was dumb. We're going to talk to Ken Paxson about what needs to be done now because now it's going to be coming on the AGs, Republican AGs.

Thankfully, we have some we have some generals out there, good generals, and we're going to talk to Ken Paxon about this. But remember, America loves a comeback story. America loves an underdog. And America was born with a fighting spirit and we respect rule of law. So keep that in mind. Okay. Keep that in mind. It's not, I don't want you all to be, like, defeated and all that.

stuff. That's what Democrats want you to feel like. Stop it. Do not give into them. Do not give into them. You're tougher than this. Come on. Now that being said, there's a couple of stories that, because we've been talking a lot about the verdict that I need you to pay attention to because what do we always say? Whenever stuff like this happens, this is when they choose to drop the other stuff, right? Because they know you're watching what's happening over here and they're going to drop stuff over here. That's how it always works. And today is, and it being a Friday, yeah, no exception. I want you to listen. This is a soundbite that isn't getting a lot of play right now. It's from Anthony Blinken. And so Anthony Blinken was, he's giving a press conference because something came out about what

Ukraine is being allowed to do with U.S. weapons. And it's troubling because, What could this be used to constitute? You have to think about this. So apparently we are allowing Ukraine to use U.S. weapons against Russia and on Russian soil. Listen to this audio soundback because Blinken confirms it. With regard to the use of U.S. arms by Ukraine and Russia, I said this the other day. The hallmark of our engagement, our support for Ukraine over these more than two years, has been to adapt and adjust as necessary to meet what's actually going on on the battlefield,

to make sure that Ukraine has what it needs, when it needs it, to do that deliberately and effectively. And that's exactly what we're doing in response to what we've now seen in and around the Kharkiv region. Over the past few weeks, Ukraine came to us and asked for the authorization to use WebExam. that we're providing to defend against this aggression, including against Russian forces that are massing on the Russian side of the border, and then attacking into Ukraine. And that went right to the president. And as you've heard, he's approved the use of our weapons for that purpose. Politico first broke this story. They said in the last few days, the U.S., now this is a change, of course, it's a big reversal. They said that the United States made the decision to allow Ukraine,

quote unquote flexibility to defend itself from attacks on the border near Kharkiv. And that's now confirmed by Anthony Blinken. They said that Ukraine can now use American provided weapons like rockets and rocket launchers to shoot down Russian missiles heading towards Kharkiv. Now, why is this a shift? There is an exclusion, by the way. The official said Ukraine cannot use those weapons to hit civilian infrastructure or launch long-range missiles like the Army tactical missile system to hit military targets deep inside Russia.

I'm sure that that's all going to be followed. I'm sure. Now, it's a big reversal and important because the administration previously opposed this because they said it would escalate the war. And they claimed that it would directly involve the U.S. in the fight. Now they've done a complete 180. The NSC, the National Security Council, was asked why the reversal they have not responded. Anthony Blinkins was the first response here. He supported the lift of restrictions on this from the beginning. He was the first one to hint, and this was a piece. They first started reporting this a couple of days ago because they said that Blinken's

language was signaling an openness to allowing Ukraine to hit Russia with U.S. weaponry. Now, even they said that NSC's John Kirby when had previously in discussing it when he touched on it in other press conferences, he didn't rule out a change. They noticed they started very subtly shifting on this messaging. Now, other U.S. allies like the U.K. and France said Ukraine would have the right to attack inside Russia using Western weapons. They've maintained that Ukraine should be able to have the right to do this. but they it is a it is a huge shift and they're attributing worsening conditions for ukraine on the battlefield as like russian advances and they have a better position in kharkiv now that that apparently is what led biden and the administration to do a 180 on this so now the question is is russia

going to claim that this constitutes direct u.s involvement does it constitute direct u.s involvement I mean, it's more than just arms. It's missiles and rocket launchers. Now, they're saying it can only be used to hit their missiles and rocket launchers, and they can't do, you know, deep attacks inside. But do you believe that? Right? I mean, that gets into, that's like a quasi-fungibility argument, right? I don't know. But that story came out. They've waited for all this to happen to officially confirm that. Interesting. Is it not? Don't you find that interesting? They waited to all that. came out before they started, before they confirmed it. So that's, that's one of the big, one of the big stories that we're watching. The other big story, and this squeaked out today. Did you hear about this? Half of U.S. job gains may be from illegal immigration. Now, one of the things with the last jobs report that we noticed, Kane, where were the biggest job gains that they measured? In government. government. They've expanded government so much, which means more government spending, which they're

going to claim means they need more taxes. They've expanded government so much that the biggest job gains are not from the private sector. It's literally from the government. And now comes the other shoe. Half of U.S. jobs reports Reuters may be from illegal immigration. Half of these job gains. Government jobs and illegal immigration. They noted that there were several economists and analysts that put together this study. And it's based on what they said is detailed data from customs and border, U.S. citizenship and immigration. And they were also looking at different measures with the labor market. And they're saying the labor market is not as strong as the Biden administration's making it out to be, and here's why.

They said, here's the other thing. They're saying that right now, the reason that they argue that half of U.S. job gains may be from illegal immigrants is because they think that's an actual under, that's, that's, they're underreporting that. The suggestion is that it may be way more than half. That's why the may is there. The may is there not because they think that that's a, stretch to say. It's because

they think it's way far greater than that. Now, how did the analysts define what was an illegal immigrant and what wasn't? Because you know the government always has to say undocumented an immigrant. If you literally entered illegally

and you're not a refugee and all of that or an official U.S. asylee, etc., then that's how they're counting it. Oh my gosh. And so they said, that this has been crazy. So they're trying to spin these numbers to you to give you a false sense of contentment to make you think that the administration is doing better than it is

with regards to jobs when they're all coming from the government and now illegal immigration. That's wild. That squeaked in today. They were hoping that you wouldn't notice this stuff. They thought maybe by dropping it on a Friday the day after this verdict that it would go by unnoticed from you. You're too smart for that though. And now all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick 5. So the hail in Texas

was so big Tuesday that they actually created a new description. DVD sized hail. Wow. It was huge. I thought we were going to have hail damage too because we got just hammered by it.

It's been like, it's been raining for I don't know how many days. I'm about to build an arc I feel like it's almost needed. So they said the hail was five inches in diameter. And it was the first such warning, it was the first such warning since 2010 for like hail that size in Texas. That's insane. I can't believe this is a headline.

People are licking supermarket eggs in hopes of getting food infection and getting compensation. And apparently this is happening all over in Russia. there was this Russian supermarket chain that announced that they would pay a million rubles to each person that got food poisoning from their products and apparently people were going out licking the eggs at the store. That's so nasty. What the hell is wrong? Well, it's Russia. What's wrong with people? I don't know. A girlfriend spiked a boyfriend's sweet tea with anna frieze so she could collect a $30 million inheritance that did not exist because he lied to her about it. Wow. A 48-year-old woman in North Dakota, she may spend the rest of her life in jail because she killed what was her husband now. She poisoned him. She put anaphrase in his drink because she thought he had told her while they were dating that he had this huge inheritance. And he didn't. And she realized it. It only came to light after she killed him. Oh my gosh. I mean, I don't know. That's a, uh, an Amsterdam.

Someone fell into an airplane jet, into a jet plane engine. How do you fall into, isn't it sideways? How do you fall into it? Like, do you fall sideways? Like, how does that work? They said that they fell into a jet engine at an Amsterdam airport. And the crew and passengers that were on the plane were removed safely. And then they're investigating into exactly what happened.

That's kind of wild. Oh, gosh. All right. So we have Attorney General Kim Paxton. He joins us next to discuss how Red State AGs can take head on this fight. Stick with us. Ready to grow your intellectual RolidX? Download the Dana Show podcast and join the ranks of those who refuse to settle for the same old boring content on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to the program. Dana last year with you, bottom of this third hour, and you can listen to Coast to Coast. You can watch the simulcast. as well, Channel 347 Direct TV, find us on X and Rumble and YouTube. We're all across the country.

10.2 million people tune in every single afternoon. So we've been talking about this verdict and the next steps. And I think that it's time for all of the other Republican AGs out there to join the Republican AG leaders, people like Texas's own Ken Paxton. And, and I think that it's time, and start pushing back on this stuff. Why can't red states go ham like blue states have gone? Joining us now is Texas's Attorney General, Ken Paxton. Who knows exactly what which hunt trials are like? Trials brought without evidence, smear tactics,

and he had to endure it in his own state, and we covered that for months. Attorney General, a pleasure to have you, sir. Thank you for making some time for us today. We know you've been real busy. He joins us by phone. I wanted to get your response to this, because a lot of people are now looking,

well, you've already been doing this, but a lot of people have been looking now to Republican Attorney Generals and saying they're going to have to lead the fights on this. And why not, why can't red states do what blue states have been doing and become sanctuaries for conservatives? You know, I think that's exactly what it needs to have. And people need to stop, stop.

I mean, they're going to have to leave these states and get out of, even in my state, get out of counties that are Democratic counties where you were subject to being prosecuted or persecuted basically. And it's sad that that's the way things have gone and that's the way things are in America. But it's the reality. You have to get out of states where they'll come after you for political reasons and you have to get out of counties.

Even in like, you know, where I'm at, they sent me to Harris County, which is very liberal. And we're always at risk in Travis County, which is very liberal. So it really is a challenge and it's sad that that's where we're at. Yeah, it's incredibly sad. And with this, because there really is now, I think it's safe to say that political persecution and weaponizing the legal system to do it, that's all, it's been underway. It's here. That's our reality now. I think that's, I don't think that that's hyperbole to say that. No, no, no. It's, you know, it's been building over the years. You know, in our state, they went after Kay Bailey Hutchson.

They went after Rick Perry. They went after Tom DeLay. But now, and they went in for me. But it is becoming their way of handling politicians that they disagree with who are successful, and they can't beat at the ballot box. And so even with their, you know, voter. fraud. They still can't always win these races. And so this is the, this is a new strategy. Just make them go through some some type of prosecution and convict them. Yeah. We're talking with a Republican AG from the great Republic of Texas, Ken Paxton. A lot of people are saying, well, we need to now start looking at Democrat officials in red states. And let's let's put the full use of law towards them instead. And let's, you know, like I'm in cases where charges can be brought, or,

states where we can bring charges against some of these Democrat officials for whatever illegality or perceived illegality, let's do it because brutes only understand brutal reactions. And last night, you know, I was very cautious, General, and thinking about this, I actually endorsed this. Is that too far? Is that something that's realistic? Because honestly, I don't know how else you get through to these Democrats. So the difference is we wouldn't prosecute them for not violating a law. We would actually have to find things that, and I think that's legit, that we start, at least putting them through the ringer on whether they've done things wrong and making sure

that if they have, they are prosecuted again, though, if they live in the wrong county in Texas, for instance, I have no authority to prosecute unless it's referred to me. So if the Democrats live in liberal counties with liberal Democrats or even Republicans who just don't want to do this, then there's nothing I can do until the legislature fixes this, which they need to do. There's nothing like I can do in my state. what would the legislature need to do? And should other, right, and for all our listeners across the country, they need to make sure that this is possible in their state too, then. Yes. So many states, the Attorney General has original jurisdiction to prosecute all kinds of crimes.

In Texas, we're not like that. It's all the district attorneys have to have to be the ones that prosecute or refer it to me. And so what that leaves us open to is in the liberal counties, controlled by Soros, these DAs can decide not to. to prosecute or they can politically prosecute and there's no backup. There's no accountability. And the legislature so far has chosen, Republican legislators, chosen not to protect us from that. Well, this last election, because we just had some runoff elections and unfortunately, the speaker that was leading the witch hunt wasting taxpayer dollars harassing you survived, although he lost a lot of allies. And I'm hoping that means he loses vote for speakership next time.

But does that mean that that's going to be possible with the makeup now that's going into the state legislature, at least in Texas? So the first thing is the only reason he won is he got 3,000 Democratic votes. They spent over $2 million getting Democrats to vote. Otherwise, he lost the Republican vote. If it was based on Republican vote, he lost. But I think there is. We have open primaries, which is changing now, too. Yep.

So I think, you know, going forward, I don't know what's going to happen. The House is going to be very close on the number of Republicans that will do the right thing versus the wrong thing. So there's guys like, you know, Jeff Leach who will definitely go the wrong way or Dustin Burroughs. We've got some really bad Republicans still around that will push that are trying to push Dave back into power and at least to retain this power. But we also have a lot of new Republicans that we just elected. We took out 24 incumbents, plus we already had, you know, probably 10 or 15. So it's going to be close. And I think if people are speaking out and highlighting this, we can win this.

And it's winnable. As I've been telling people, you know, when Republicans lose, it's because Republican voters don't turn out. That's always the case, talking with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Because I tell people if they can go after, if they can go after you, if they can go after former President Trump, they can really ultimately go after anyone because the verdict, this was untested legal theory in which they were taking an expired misdemeanor, trying to tie it to some mystery felony. And then, ta-da, that way they can justify, it in federal court. So if they're able to charge Republicans with crimes that don't even exist, well, then we can throw the full book at people like Hunter Biden or Illinois Mar for her campaign

violations that were greater in financial amount than what Trump was being accused for. Why isn't she in jail? Well, same thing. She's in a county in New York where the DA is not going to go after her. And in New York, you know, I think the New York AG has some jurisdiction as well. And of course, they're liable there. So they're protected, right? To go to places. that they are protected and that's that's part of the problem they can they can hide yeah they can hide we're talking again with uh texas attorney general kin paxton and uh this is and you know you know Texas full blue cities you know obviously austin uh which we've seen which involves a lot of because even in red states this can happen you can have corrupt counties corrupt districts even in red states

which is why voting is so unbelievably important general what can voters do right now because the fight isn't in October and it's not in September. The fight starts now in order to have victory in November. What would you tell voters listening? What can they do right now in their state other than showing up to vote and making sure that everyone they know who can vote votes to get prepared to because we got to take back these seats. We got to run these people out. And it has to start with that. We have the appeals process. But people need to get super, they need to go ham on this election is what I'm thinking. What else would you have them do? Well, and first of all, you're right about, we do have counties like Harris County, which is where they sent me to be prosecuted.

For the reason, because they knew they'd go after you in Harris County. They took me out of my own county illegally, sent me to a Democratic county and tried to do what they are doing to Trump by giving me liberal Democratic judges, liberal jury, and no appeal all the way up. It's all, you know, liberal judges. So it's being done in Texas as well. They just maneuver it to pull you out of your own county. So I was in a good county, and I got moved. illegal. So they still, even if you're in the right place, these guys don't follow any rules or laws. So I think the key for voters right now is to pay attention to what's going on,

at least in like Texas. I think this would be true everywhere. Pay attention to what's going on with your elected representatives. In our case, we need to make sure that Dave Filin doesn't get reelected as speaker, and we need to tell our reps, if you're going to vote for Dave Filin, we are going to primary you like we primary, the 24 people that we took out this time. Exactly. And they all need to be primary. I tell people, Republicans, freak out when Republican voters protest them. And it's time that we start seeing some of that with these weak officials. Is there any plan general for maybe like, I don't know. And again, this is just day after brainstorming, some kind of consortium of other Republican attorney generals like yourself

and Republican governors as a way to come together to figure out how to work together to create, you know, like a unified red states to push back against the lawlessness of the blue states. because blue states, you know, they set up sanctuary cities. They allow for sanctuary policies. They ignore ICE detainers. But then, heaven forbid, if you, and this is one of the reasons why they went over you, if you try to protect Texas's borders, oh my gosh, then they try to make up some non-existent rule of law for why you can't do that.

So red states need to be as strong as blue states. Is there any kind of like proposition for teamwork in play in the future to maybe come together and make that happen? So I, there isn't so far. certainly could be because you have an association of Republican governors. You have an association of Republican Trade Generals. And there's no reason that should not be a topic, a major focus of each of these groups to try to figure out how do we work together to protect ourselves from the illegal prosecutions and from persecutions. And then what do we do to fight back?

How do we make them suffer if they're going to illegally prosecute us? Yeah, no, exactly. exactly. Well, I am so glad I just have to say thank you for your fight. And you were still out there fighting even when they were trying to silence you and wrap you up with everything. But this is real. I mean, this lawfare, this legal persecution is real. And I want people to realize that they can go after our attorney general. And if this can be done to the former president, my gosh, this can be done to the average everyday person. It's scary. Attorney General Kempaxter, we so appreciate your time with us. Thank you for making some time today. We know you've been very busy and we look forward to talking with you again soon. Thank you. Well, Dana, thank you. And remember Benjamin Franklin said, if we don't hang together, we're all going to hang alone. That's really true. Amen to that. Amen to that. Thank you, sir. We're going to keep following this case, folks. And because, you know, July 11th is when we find out, you know, ultimately, what's that judge? What's that Judge Marchon going to do? Are we going to have a situation where, I mean, maybe it's a, maybe they say, I mean, it's going to appeal, but maybe is it going to be a fine? Are they going to, what are they going to do? Probation, obviously. There's a lot of questions that are still up in the air. But that being said, I think that your job pushing back on this begins this weekend. It begins this weekend. Find out where you can volunteer for a campaign. If you think about this for a minute, before we sit here, before we go to break, I want you think about this.

Imagine so many Republicans, conservatives, independent constitutionalists, they all start volunteering to get out the vote. do you know what that looks like to democracy you know how terrifying that would be or to weak Republicans and look I'm going to add this too maybe you don't like the hand that you have been given to play in November but that doesn't change the hand that you have to play in November whether or not you like it correct so you can view it as an opportunity to advance the best opportunity you have to advance what you want to see go forward in terms of agenda or not. Democrats don't want you to compartmentalize this. They want you to think that you are endorsing absolutely everything under the sun if you cast a vote this way or if you volunteer for this campaign.

Do not take that bait. They are baiting you to stay home. they are baiting you and trying to emotionally blackmail you when they know it's not true when you cast a vote and when you volunteer for a campaign you are advocating for the best vehicle in which to put your agenda and get it forward that is how you have to look at it do not allow these godless people to determine your level of godliness we have a lot more to get to as we wrap up this third hour Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts, because knowledge is your ultimate superpower. I did my job.

Our job is to follow the facts and the law without fear of favor. And that's exactly what we did here. And what I feel is gratitude to work alongside phenomenal public servants who do that each and every day. It matters that you all write about and make the press. And then lots of matters that you don't. I did my job. We did our job. Many voices out there. The only voice that matters is the voice of the jury and the jury has spoken. No, the only voice that matters is the voice of the voter and the voter will speak on November 5th. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash, with you. And like I said, you know, we got the appeals.

Ultimately, I think this is going to be overturned federally because it's just so goofy. and I want you to remember you have an amazing opportunity you were made for such a time as this I want you to make sure start asking tonight make sure everyone in your household can vote and you get prepared and then you start spreading out from there

I want to hear y'all talk about it keep me updated I want to know about it because this is your responsibility this is what you need to be doing and you need to be raining hell on any Republican in your state that is not going. I'm telling you, I think you need, when you're donating money, you need to give directly to candidates.

And I think you need to give a lot of money to House candidates and Senate candidates because it doesn't matter what the, what happens with the White House, I mean, Trump had a record haul. He's got legal bills he's got to pay too. That we need to make sure that we can still win the House and Senate, or at least maintain in House and Senate. That's very important. Do not give to PACs.

give directly to the candidates and pay attention to the limits it's very easy you know you've got individual limits limits for couples just be mindful of that uh and make sure that you give to the candidates directly that is super important even if it's like five bucks you know you got to make sure that you're doing that uh well quick thing too remember illan omar funneled over a million dollars in campaign cash to the guy that she was sleeping around with and then she married him she got all that money Where's that charge at? Where's that charge at? Is that her brother?

Yeah, the brother. No, I think she was married to the brother. This is the guy's... I don't know. I don't know. Actually, it's a good question. I was so confused, right? It's like a Jerry Springer show that one.

All right, today in stupidity came. All right. As you know, Russia and NATO had an agreement back in the 90s. I remember that. And, well, NATO hasn't been great about holding that up. This is Blinken talking about it. As the Allies agreed and made clear at Billion's the last summit, Ukraine will become a member of NATO.

And our purpose now... They're baiting World War III. What other way can you conclude? I mean, honestly, this is just stupid. Folks, remember, remember who's in control. I want you to have a good weekend. I'll keep you updated. You know, if something big happens,

if you sign up at Substack, Chapter and Verse, I'll send you notice through that or on Facebook. Have a wonderful weekend. And remember, the powers in your hands. We'll be back together on Monday.
