and Google Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Google what they said about those who commit crimes in our city and what they said in our country. They said those who commit crimes need to get out right away. That was their position. So this is not a new position, you know, because in the state of, in the era of cancel culture, no one's afraid to be honest about the truth. Well, cancel me because I'm going to protect the people of the city. And if you come into this country and this city and think you're going to harm innocent New Yorkers

and innocent migrants and asylum seekers, this is not the mayor you want to be in the city under. Well, I think this is I was talking a little bit about this last night. And I think that this is going to be kind of a turning point for Democrats where it concerns policy and then practicality, or policy and ideology, rather. Because, you know, with this remarks that he gave, he's saying, well, fine, cancel me then. It's quite different from everything that we've seen as it pertains to talk about bathrooms and all this other stuff. And Democrats kind of allowed this whole issue of immigration to get away from them.

and so as a result you know that's one of the reasons that they were rejected so harshly during the last elections and so as a result now you're seeing you know some of these local Democrats like governors and

some of these you know mayors and things of that nature they're having to go out and say yeah okay we can't do this I know the national party says one thing but this is the reality of the situation and this is, you know, this is what we're dealing with.

There's going to be an impasse between these two entities. You know, the entity of the federal in D.C. Democrats and then the issue of your state and local. Because the policies that the federal Democrats, that they're setting in D.C., clearly, they're not going over well in any state. they're not going over well in any county they're not going over well anywhere it's one of the reasons why Harris didn't flip like insanely a single county during this last election and I think that they said they keep

revising it it's like super historically insane what she her inability to flip a single or even maintain a single county that they had won so there's a couple things in that it's I mean it's that bad this is this is how bad Democrats have foobarred this. And I don't think that they've learned. I really, I understand. You, you don't want them to learn because then they keep losing. But I also think that having an opposition party also keeps your party kind of honest and keeps them in check. And so that's,

I kind of look at it at that end. Welcome to the program. Dana Lash with you. You can listen coast to coast. We're having some technical issues today. We run a tight ship. We, We have a nice dedicated crew, but we've got some issues. So we're going to get the live stream up at some point. Yes, your girl's still sick. So it's like everything. You know what it is? It's the communists, Kane.

It's a communist that are doing this to us. Them damn commies. So we're working on that, but right now we don't got it. So you can listen like the olden days, right? Pretend it's like the olden days. So, and yes, I'm still under the weather. But we're here. We're here.

And a number of other things to touch on, the cabinet picks. There's a lot of rumblings. One of the other things I was watching last night. And we're going to cover the Daniel Penny stuff. And I'm not, you know, breaking news, whatever breaking news bureau. So we're not going to, yes, there was the health care executive that was shot. I think I've stayed at that Hilton before, actually, right there on Avenue of the Americas. It's like blocks away from Fox.

But we'll talk about all of that. I mean, there's nothing else that we can provide at this point that hasn't already been discussed. But one thing that I think hasn't been discussed, and I was watching this with great interest last night, was another, this discussion of, who's, it's sect deaf, the sect deaf discussion. And there seems to be this, I guess they're worried about Pete Hegseth getting through the confirmation. Is that what it seems to you? Oh, yeah. I mean, I don't dislike him as a pick, but I, I somebody's, I don't know who, but somebody's getting, somebody's getting upset. Or if it was involving my dogwick, I would say pupset.

Someone is getting pupset about this because apparently they don't believe that he has the ability to, I guess, for whatever reason. They think he doesn't have the ability to make it their confirmation. And so that's, excuse me, that's an issue that. that we have to deal with. Because one of the other names that I've seen floated is Ron DeSantis. So I don't know if that's going to be something that happens or not. I'm like kind of scratching my head over it. Ron DeSantis' name has been floated quite a bit.

As you know, he's a veteran. And was, you know, kind of, I guess, Frenememones with Trump, they worked together because, you know, you've got a popular red state governor and you're going to have a popular as well. You have a popular president, red president. His name has been suggested by apparently some people in the group. I don't know. It was a New York Post story.

And I've been hearing rumblings. I think that there are some in the camp that don't believe that Pete Hegseth can make it and get through to confirmation. It just doesn't seem like that's something that they're a little worried about it. And so as a result, now they're suggesting maybe DeSantis's name. I don't know how I feel about that though. He goes all the way up until 27. I think that he's a solid red state governor. And I think that you have to have a solid red state governor with tons of wins in order to counter the narrative that Democrats are preparing for 2028, regardless of, well, you know it's going to be Gavin Newsome, regardless.

You know it's going to be Newsome. So my concern with that is who would you get in, even if it were, who would you get in to replace DeSantis? And then would they be a strong R, red Republican governor? And then, you know, DeSantis goes in, he's sex deaf. I mean, he'll get their compromise. I just don't know. I just don't know if that's something that he would want to do.

It was an odd out-of-left-field kind of proposition, I thought. But it's gaining some serious steam. I don't know. But I think that there are some people in his camp and Trump's camp that are worried that Heggseth can't go through confirmation. And like I said, I've only known him to be super nice. I hear all of the accusations as well. But one of the reasons why that I can't take those accusations seriously is because how many times they've abused them. think back to Kavanaugh.

Hell, go back farther. I back all the way to Clarence Thomas. You see what I mean? Like, I can't take any of this stuff seriously. Every single time, it's a dude that the left doesn't like. It's rape, rape, rape, rape, sexual assault. Oh, he thinks differently than me. Rape, rape, sexual assault.

You know what I'm saying? I can't take it seriously. So even if there was any kind of serious accusation, I can't take it seriously because these people have just made it a joke. They've made serious cases. dealing with assault and rape and all this other stuff or any kind of bad behavior, they've made a joke of it. They made a joke of it. And so every single time there's been a hearing, every single time, any fight has come up.

This is what they drag out, the accusations that they drag out. Every time we're so used to it now. So I just, I don't know. I just don't take it seriously. I can't take it seriously. I don't take any of the accusations about Heg-Seth seriously. This is kind of where we are.

I mean, I just don't understand why people would... I don't know. I mean, we'll see how it plays out. Are they really that worried that he's not going to get through confirmation? I'd be more worried about some of these other folks. I'd be more worried about like an RFK Jr. Him getting through with the stuff that he said about

green... stuff that he said about oil and gas companies. I mean, he said some crazy... stuff, RFK Jr. I'm not talking about the headworm and all that. I'm talking about putting to death the people who run oil and gas. People who don't believe in climate change should be jailed. I mean, this is stuff he said with his own actual face. The meat around his mouth. He's vocalized this coming out of his mouth. So I'd be more worried about that. So I don't know what this means, you know, if I don't know what this is for Heggseth, but I think there's a difference too between somebody being kind of a male

horror and also someone being an actual sex predator. And I really need women to understand the difference here, if that is the case here, which I don't know. I just, like I said, I don't believe in any of these accusations because they've been abused so many times. I really don't. I've seen it so many times. I just yawn anymore. Nobody takes it seriously. The left has done so much to undermine justice for women and to set women back where you have actual accusation. Of course, they they deny it when it's on their own side, whether it's a Teddy Kennedy and a, what is this, Chris Dodd and their secretary sandwiches, whether it's Bill Clinton, whether it's Anthony Wiener, I mean, John Edwards, I mean, for crying out loud, they've, you know, they've got a list. I mean, they've got a dude who left the chicken a pond. I mean, to say nothing about the guy who got, how do I say this, close but no cigar under the executive desk. Yeah, but there was a cigar. That's the thing.

Gosh, dang it, that same doesn't really work totally. So I don't, I don't know. I just, I can't take any of this seriously. I can't take it seriously. So we're just, we'll see. But as far as DeSaint's, I don't know how I feel about that. I don't know. I mean, do I think DeSantis is capable?

Of course I do. It's just, I don't know. I feel like there's like a setup too. Here's my other. I feel like there are some people who would love to keep the division going, the primary division, which by the way, nothing pisses me off more than people who have a fetish, who like just discovered politics the day that they were born. And they love driving the divide in the primary.

I think those people are suspect. I've never met anyone that does half the work that I do that drives that kind of division like that in a primary. I'm just saying. And I hope I sounded as snotty as I deserve to sound when I said that. And a lot of you out there can say similar. I think there are people out there who love driving division. because they believe that there's a scarcity of opportunity, so they've got to gatekeep,

and they don't want anyone else at the table, including other politicians, maybe, who've done some good stuff in their state. So they drive this division. And I kind of have a sneaking thought that, you know, maybe it's some of the people in that kind of faction that are trying to set up this fight with Heggseth and DeSantis and run division out even more. It's just a thought. It wouldn't be the first time or the last time it happened. We have a lot to hit because we got some breaking news. watching that Daniel Penny trial. That judge is a fiend. We're going to discuss all of that. We've got some culture issues. I mean, we're going towards Christmas, and it's in a post-election cycle. Half of

you are going to be drunk on egg-nog by the time the week is over. So let's be real about it, all right? Let's just be real about where we are as friends, you know, who we are, what we're doing, where we're at. I'm going to tell you, I thought I was going to have to go sit in a corner and eat my ready-wise because I was so like under the weather a couple of days ago. And I was, I don't want anybody to come in here. I'm just going to sit back here and eat my survival food. I don't know, like I've actually eaten it. It's good. It's actually, I've had some really bad survival food before from other companies where I'm like, well, I guess I'll die because this tastes horrible. Readywise, though, they actually bring in people who understand nutrition and who are

studying the culinary arts to craft these survival meals, which makes sense, right? Because just because you might be in a sideways situation doesn't mean that you have to eat dirt, right?

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. It's a good thing that you wouldn't miss it because we're insane and we're watching all of it. So there's a town that got fined because it didn't celebrate Pride Month. But if you're like, wait a minute, was this town in Canada, Dana? I would say why, yes. It was the Maple Seripians. Up to the north, the Maple Seripians.

It was a rural town on the border of Ontario, Minnesota, and Canada. It was fine for refusing to celebrate Pride Month in June. Yeah, you got to go out there and, like, sling the salami or something like that to celebrate. That's what you got to do. You got to actually celebrate Pride Month. You just, like, physically have the sex in the streets. Like, what do you do? No, you put up rainbow?

Shut up. Just, God help me. You cannot have me an elected office. I would be arrested for assault, like instantly. They said that the town of Emo, of course it's called Emo. Emo Ontario. It violated the Ontario Human Rights Code. The town has a population of 1,300 people.

1,300 people. 1,300 persons. Emo did not proclaim June as a Pride Month, and they didn't fly the LGBTQ, whatever the hell, numbers. Why are there numbers now? Rainbow flag. And in addition to the 10,000 fine,

the people from Emo were ordered to complete mandatory human rights training. Yeah. What does that cost to not celebrate? We're coming back to the story. We're coming back to bookmark this. Because we have this is we are not even begun. Also, we had the story earlier,

this United Healthcare CEO. This dude was on his way to a conference. This was on Avenue of the Americas. I swear to you, I've stayed at this Hilton. I think I did that. I stayed at this Hilton for a book tour. So it's right there. That's what like blows the mind.

It's right there in the middle of everything. It's across, it's like right by Rockefeller. It's a cross from where Jimmy Fallon does his show. It's like a few blocks down from Fox. It's right there in Midtown. And yeah, it's at Hilton. And he apparently, this guy, 50 years old,

shot in the chest. It was 6.46 in the morning. He was arriving for a conference. He's a CEO, so it's like his conference. So he arrived, and apparently this guy came up behind him in front of everybody and shot him in the chest. And then he got on one of those e-bikes and went away. He had on a backpack. And, I mean, he looks like, I don't know, it looks like a professional hit.

That's what they were saying. Like, this was like a hit. Like, this was not something that was by chance, like a chance criminal, whatever. So they said that the Christmas tree lighting and all that stuff is apparently still expected to go on. Just everybody keep your heads on a swivel. Trump is going to visit Paris for the Notre Dame's reopening for his first trip abroad. They're going to be doing different things in different days and he's attending one of them.

We're all here. We're all set. So yeah, I'm in my, we need a bigger boat outfit. I actually like this outfit. I think I'm going to start dressing up like a boat cap' from like an 80s shark movie. I don't say, I mean,

that's, the glasses. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's the glasses. But you're like the fit.

The glasses. You say it's the outfit. There's some new specs. They're a little, I'm going to break them in like five seconds. Because I got, I got to have them to see this stuff like up close to me because I've spent my whole life staring at stuff up right up by my face.

So anyway, but we're back. Dana Lash with you. your bemused crumogen. And we're going to get you set up with everything. But I also want you everybody to relax, unclench your butt because it's, you know, post-election, right? I know we got the trans whatever thing in SCOTUS.

We got the Daniel Penny case. I'm going to get you all that stuff. But we're going to keep you chill as we deliver it. Because you've been through the ringer. I'm recovering from being sick. You've been through the ringer before the election. Let's just like do it nice and easy, right? we're going to do it nice and easy.

That's how we're going to do it. So welcome back. We're over at Substack. You can find us there. Can find us at X. You can also find us at Rumble everywhere else. We get the chat at Rumble. I guess they're all back in it now.

Lorraine's like, oh, what's up? Like, oh, hell broke loose. That's what, that's what's up. But, so we've been talking about these cabinet picks, things of that nature. And I got to tell you, and I kept thinking about this. And I'm trying to figure out, I got a piece coming out for you on Pam Bondi. I got another piece.

piece that I'm working on. Oh, there's the other draft that I was working on. I had like a couple of drafts that I was working on. One of them was in a cold medicine haze. I'm not going to lie. So we don't know what that one's going to be like. Good luck with that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The other pick that Trump made, he took himself out of contention last night. I don't know if y'all saw this. The lockdown sheriff, that Chad Kronister, he, he's now out of the running. He's not going to be, he's not going to be running in, running for this anymore. He's saying that he doesn't want to be considered for head of the DEA, right? You guys know what DEA stands for, right?

It's the drug edible agency. Enforcement agency. Elephants. The drug elephant ass. I don't know. It's like one of those. I'm not pig bird. Don't expect me to be, you know, like I'll draw the Explorer PBS here with your kids.

Not going to happen. So he stepped down. Like I said, I thought it was a bad pick no matter. or what. Do you know, can I just tell you, and I'm not going to spend a ton of time on Chronister, because I'm glad that he pulled himself out of contention. Do you know all the stuff that this guy did? So we focused really yesterday only on the fact that he was arresting pastors because they were having their church services and, you know, worshiping the Lord is reckless and stiff. Like, y'all could be killing people by loving Jesus, right? I mean, that was kind of like the

prevailing thought in Hillsborough County where science didn't exist in 2020. That was the county in Florida where science didn't exist. Natural immunity wasn't a thing. I bet they still like through virgins and volcanoes and bled everybody with leech. I'm just saying. So anyway, that wasn't the only thing that he did. There's a, so they deleted their crowing about the arrest of that pastor. They deleted it from their website. Do you know that this dude was also a major trans advocate. Yeah, big time. He also apparently donated to Barack Obama, like a pretty sizable chunk of money. He expanded his office's DEI programs. He did all of that. He based hiring and promotion on DEI. And they also promoted the transgender participation in the Tampa

Pride event. And they created a literal liaison office for transgender activists. That's what this guy did. Wow. And then he also fought against ICE. He would not collaborate with ICE per reports. So he considered himself a Democratic Republican. Do you know what a Democratic Republican is? Nothing. It's amazing. It's like when someone says I'm a Democratic socialist. You know what that means? A socialist, imagine putting glitter on a turd. That's it. That's it. The Democratic part is the glitter. Same thing. So he did the drag queen shows while he was sheriff's office, all that. He would not collaborate with ICE and work with them on detaining and deporting illegal aliens.

I mean, I've got news articles. And I linked all the receipts for you over at Substack. You've got receipts for days. You got them all up there. He also was a big red flag backer as well. He worked with Rick Scott on that when Rick Scott was governor and passed it. So this guy is really problematic. By the way, you know how I was talking about how the Hillsborough County there in Florida?

They were pretty much like science didn't exist there. Kane, how long you think they had these regulations in place? Oh, wow. About the, you know, the lockdown stuff. How long do you think those regulations were in place? Probably just temporary. You know, they said two weeks slow the spread. Oh, they said that they said two weeks to slow the spread, did they?

So probably maybe three weeks. We'll get them. So another week. So three weeks? Yeah, sure, if it means, two years. The hell? Yeah, yeah, yeah, for real.

The first local emergency that they did in Hillsborough County, this is one of the counties that DeSantis had to wrestle with, which, by the way, I would be like, you know what, blank this. And I would just be going in, kicking desks over, ripping out light fixtures. I'd be done. I'd be, like, messing stuff up.

Sitting there defying the state order. Because he had said, you're not going to lock down anymore. Knock it off. And Hillsborough County is like, but we love hating science. And they wanted to stay locked down. two years, dude, two years. Two years. Two years.

Two years. Yeah. And that's, they're not, I guess they're not big science folks. So local businesses and citizens had to suffer for two years. Two years. That's wild. For a seasonal virus. Yeah. I mean, I told you all if you're not, if you're just joining me.

So I, just to let you guys know, I mean, I'm not, apparently, Pat, like I give I'm apparently past the contagiousness part but they told me I had COVID they did a sneaky swab on me you know how they did it I went in because I because one of my kids had a throat infection I was like I'm pretty sure I'm getting the same thing just go ahead I'm like this is what I need give me

give me 500 milligrams of azithromycin you know I can do too I was like telling him I'm like I'm not going to tell you how to do your job I'm going to tell you how to do it I'm like I'm basically a doctor so I'm telling him all this and they're real cool because the doctor's looking at me like that's great that's great that you're thinking that that's not

I'm doing, but, you know, Augmentin is where we're going. And also, let's just do, you know, we're going to do a quick swab. And when they said, do you want to do the swabs, I said, yeah. And I didn't stop to think. And then they swab the throat and then legit right after me. And that woman had one of them long Q-tips up my nose. I'm like, I did not consent, but okay. And then they came back and they said, oh, you got the COVID. Well, they didn't say it like that. I say it. For some reason, I got to put the in front of stuff. It's an Ozark thing, like the COVID. The, I don't know. And I said, blank that. You go run it back right now.

That's what I said. Like, we're not doing this. But there, and I told the dude, and I, and I, as I mentioned this to you yesterday, just touching on this Holsboro County thing. And how they're trying to get everybody to wear masks and all this stuff now going into the holiday season. I said, it's a cold. I get it. I said, I'm not stupid.

But you realize that this has a stigma compared to like regular colds, right? And he's like, I get it. I get it. It's like, it's not even remotely the same. It's like your symptoms is the worst it's going to get. It's like three days, five days top. you're done. He's like, you know, and says like the contagiousness period was over, et cetera, et cetera. Because I already had somebody who emailed me yesterday. It was like,

you were putting people's lives in danger. And I was like, I'm going to put your life in danger. If you send me one more stupid email, that's what's going to happen to you. I'm on Augmenton and I'm a breathable steroid. Don't mess with me. It's a ma'am. So anyway, they did this for two years. And after the Rona went through all of the, what do you want to like the changes and all that stuff and became pretty much nothing but the sniffles and they still had the stupid stuff in place so some of the dumbest stuff i've ever heard so i'm glad this guy took himself out of the running i'm glad for it but this party i'm telling you with as we're dealing with our cabinet nominees i think it it's it makes it even more important

to have nominees that don't just look the part and don't just fit a narrative, but actually we'll put on steel-told boots and go in there and get it done. Imagine if all the people who came to vote the way they did this last election watched all of the stuff that they voted for actually come to fruition in D.C. So the generational change hasn't actually totally happened yet. That's going to happen with action in D.C. So if he gets really good people in there that can actually get the job done, then you're going to cement a generational change and shift in the parties. But I'm warning you, if you do not, if he picks weak nominees,

if he picks people that are more interested in cloud chasing and getting a Fox contributor deal and a book deal with Regnery or something after all this, if they don't, if he doesn't have people in these positions that are going to deliver, you are going to build resentment in these new voters, unlike anything you've ever seen. They're going to feel like they were had and you're not going to get them back. So you got to be real careful with this stuff. That's one of the reasons why I'm so hardcore on these nominees. And it doesn't matter to me who's in the office.

It doesn't matter if I liked people or not. I actually, and I can say I personally know, the president of the, the United States and I have for over a decade. I know his whole family. I just don't crow about it and I don't like put photos out everywhere because I'm not a kisser. I've never been. And he's always been very kind. And I don't agree with him on everything, but he's always been very kind. That said, I don't care who's in the office. And you can't either. You can't afford to be so invested in who's in the office that you will not say, wait a minute, this isn't what I voted for. You have to be willing to say that, not just for your own benefit, but for the success of the administration too.

Think about the damage you could do. Sounds so mean. To the left by cementing this generational change by delivering on all of these campaign issues. Holy cow. They're not the party of the working class anymore. Now think about it. You grew up. I grew up hearing that.

Like the Democrats were the working class party, right? Can you say that anymore? When I say Democrat to you, when I say, oh, who's the typical Democrat voter? Who do you think of? Honestly, stop yourself for a moment. I know it flashed in your head. You think of the humanities college professor that wears Birkenstocks and drives an old vulva. I swear to you, you did.

That popped into your head. You did not think of. Nobody even thinks of union workers first anymore. You think of the freaks. You don't think of like the regular average everyday people. You think of the freaks first. that's who you think of. You think of the pink-haired jiggly-poops that are out there screaming about, you know, their abortions and all that.

That's who you think of when I say Democrat. That is that, that's their, that party's branding now. They are so far removed from what we grew up knowing them as. It's wild. How do you get that back? You can't unless you pretty much abandon your original entity. Republicans are now the working class. Not only are they the working class party, but they, how do I say this?

And this is another thing I'm working out in a piece. Does it seem like they got a glow up? Democrats, the relationship that they had with the working class was almost one of tolerance. Whereas the way that it's approached, discussed, and marketed by the right, it is almost, it's like reverend. right? Think about the dirty jobs, the Mike Roth stuff. And then when you hear them, when you hear people on the right, not even hardcore Republicans, just people who for practical reasons and common sense reasons, they tend to vote Republican. Think about how they view and talk about working class. And then when you hear people like Jerry Nadler talk about, well, we got to have

somebody pick our fruit and all this stuff. They, it's almost like they don't bestow upon the practice of work, the full dignity it deserves on the left. And I've noticed that there has been a huge shift in the perspective of work. It is celebrated. It is given dignity on the right. And it's cool.

Whereas the left treated it like European nobles. Oh my gosh, you have to work. That's so dirty. You're supposed to be part of the leisure class and live off of your rent from your land and our feudalism. That's how they viewed it.

It's way different. There's a huge psychological change here that all plays into this. I'm telling you, you made good on these promises. Man, Democrats won't, you will not see Democrats with major wins like that in our lifetime. Again, you won't. So that's why it's important to make sure that these picks are good. Preborn's a great organization and they help women who are facing a difficult situation. maybe it's an unplanned pregnancy.

I got nothing for you on that. I don't got nothing for you on that. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you.

Who my. He was asked like several different ways and his answer was the same. I got nothing for you on that. That's like one of my favorite things that reporters do when they, especially if it's like Peter, do you see doing it? Because it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen. They'll be like, yeah, so tell us, why is the president not going to be here today? It's like random question. Why is he not going to be here today? Oh, well, you know, he's doing some things and makes them, so why is it that he is not physically walking around here hanging out? Well, Peter, because, like

a million different ways. I do like it. It is kind of funny. So I saw a thing, Josh Hawley was saying that his meeting with Pete Hegseth was canceled. this it was a see it's a CNN reporter who said it but it wasn't one of the bad CNN reporters he's kind of middle of the road so just you're going to put that out there I thought that was an interesting marker that's one of the things that we're going to watch uh here coming up because I feel like if there's going to be something that happens if there's going to be a change or something that it would happen I think today is kind of you know what I'm getting out of it but we'll see there's also I think Trump also picked what a pro crypto

guy, Paul Atkins to replace Gary Gensler's SEC chair. So that's kind of, it kind of gets into the weeds a little bit. But yeah, some movement happening. We have our second hour on the way. The latest with the Supreme Court case, the arguments over trans issues. Stick with us. It's our friends over at Kaltek, the P15. It stands for 15 pews. Standard capacity. That might be a little bit more for the people who have weak arm muscles. I don't know. But Keltek is a great company, a Florida-based company. and they have a lifetime warranty on everything that they do. They are the inventors of the microcompact pistol category. They have two versions.

Metal frame, polymer, as well. Metal frame has a gorgeous walnut wood panels, texture grips. You get the polymer gator grip for a true classic look and feel. Just they're great pistols. They come with two magazines. One is the standard 15 round, minimal pinky extension, the other, more conceivable even. Flesh-fit double-stack mag that holds 12. It's the lightest than it's double-stack 9mm on the market.

I mean, it's just, you know, there's no bones of it. about it quality made right here in the US of a innovation performance and Keltec only at Keltec learn more at keltec weapons dot com ask about the P-15 again you got the metal frame in the polymer version you're gonna like it it doesn't matter if you're a season pro or you're just just looking for another EDC it's the P-15 at Keltec Heltech weapons.com that's K-E-L-TEC weapons.com tell them Dana sent you welcome back to the program Dana Lash with you we're at the top of the second hour

on this beautiful December Wednesday. And, of course, you can follow along over at Substack, chapter and verse. You can find us at Rumble where the chat happens. You can also find us an X, et cetera. I'm still under the weather. I'm recovering. So if I'm like sniffly or whatever, just go along with it. I have nowhere else to go.

It's me and you right here. No prompt or no nothing for three hours. Actually, now, too, because we went through one. So kind of scares cane sometimes. We've been talking about a lot of the cabinet picks, which are going to get back to it, but they're having right now Supreme Court these arguments. They're, excuse me, the Supreme Court's hearing these arguments on trans issues. It's already gone up this much. It's already all already made it up to SCOTUS.

And, I mean, I've just been kind of looking at some of the, some of the arguments that they've been, because right now it's just you're hearing oral arguments and that's pretty much kind of it. they are, it's this, it's this challenge to the state of Tennessee, their ban on treatments for transgender youth. I'm trying to get the correct, it's about the trans treatments, trying to get the correct statements out. And the thing is, is that the divide at least initially, and again, you can only get what court reporters published because you're not, you know, you don't have cameras, in there. But it seems to hinge on how the more conservative members of the court do not believe that denying someone or telling a child that they cannot get this irreversible surgery, etc. That they don't believe it's a form of sex discrimination, whereas the more progressive

justices on the court do. So we will see, excuse me, we will see where this goes and how these arguments end up playing out because that's something that SCOTUS, they're weighing this, they're weighing these treatments and the youth and all of that right now. Of course, we're also watching the Biden administration whittled down, whittled down to nothing as they get ready for this January transfer of power. We were talking about some of the cabinet selections from POTUS. There was this thing going around where they're suggesting that Pete Huggseth, and I've been hearing

this rumor from some pretty well-placed folks. I don't know if I necessarily believe it or not, and I don't know what I think of it. Having Hegseth be the Trump administration considering swapping him out with DeSantis.

Now, I'm all of a couple of different minds on it. I don't know if I like it. And I'm going to, I actually like DeSantis. I think DeSantis is a more steady hand with executive leadership, obviously, than Hegsa. Not to say that Hegsut doesn't have his own qualities, but in terms of leadership and being and running things at this executive level, my gosh, DeSantis all day long. But why for this, right? Why, why now? It's kind of weird. I don't know what it, I'm always suspicious of everybody and everything. So I don't know if this is people that are continuing the primary

division and they're trying to get people angry at DeSantis over something or maybe the people in the Trump camp are trying to set him up. I don't know. I have no idea. Maybe he doesn't even want it. I don't know. But it just seems weird. I think maybe let the Hegg Seth stuff play out. He says he's not going to step down. They're going to shred him in confirmation hearings just like they do with anybody, but they're going to really shred him because it's a DOD. And they were using this example of his mom sending him an email, which I think is crappy to do, by the way. His mom sent him an email reading him the riot act because of the way he traded a girl. And they tried to use that in the court of public opinion against him. I think that when you have to go and use people's family and you

try to point them against each other, that is so lame. And that speaks more volumes about the people using such a tactic than the people against which they are using the tactic. That's lame to try to pit families against each other. I mean, if you can't make your argument against his confirmation or nomination better than that, then STFU, sit down, do the world of favor. Do not pollute general discourse with your fecal opinion. Nobody needs to hear it. Nobody wants to hear it. I get so aggravated over this stuff. Even if I dislike the person that they're doing it to, I get mad because it's just such a lame tactic to use. Oh, his mom sent him an email. What mom has not dressed down her son at one point in his life?

one mom has not dressed down her son at one point in his life that's like a thing right it's like what mom hasn't had it out with her teenage daughter same thing stop it this is so dumb to try to say well look at this his own mom you're misrepresenting it you're making it personal and you lost the argument at that point I don't know but we'll see but I saw that uh it was apparently CNN I was saying that Josh Holly told them that his meeting with Heggseth tomorrow had been canceled, but he didn't know why. It would have been Holly that canceled it. That would have been somebody else. So I don't know. There are a lot of people that are getting picked from Florida, which shows you the significance of Susie Wiles is his chief of staff, Trump's chief of staff, her influence in his orbit, because she's going with what she knows.

And so she's picking tons of people from Florida because she came up in Florida. So that's kind of interesting. But the Heg Seth thing, I don't know, we'll wait and see, but he would have to go through the confirmation process. And I can't imagine. I just think this is why if there's any hesitation about somebody getting through the process because of things that they did, and I'm not saying this about Hegg Seth, more really along the lines of gates, because of something they did and not something that's reflective upon you, I just maybe think that you should make a better pick. But as far as Hex Seth goes, this seems to be, again, it seems like even if it's true, I don't believe it, because I've been duped by the left. They try to do, not I haven't, but they've lied to you a million times. lied to me a million times. They've tried to me too. They've tried to, all of that stuff. And after the way that they went on about Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings,

none of us are ever, that was a, that was a transformational moment for a lot of people in politics. For some, it was the Clarence Thomas 2.0 moment. A lot of people, particularly young men back in, what, the 80s, were really not radicalized, but they had their suspicions confirmed after they saw the way that the left, led by Joe Biden at the time in the Senate, by the way. He was one of the biggest jerks about it. The way that they went after Clarence Thomas and they tried to discredit him, it was pretty wild. So this is, you know, we'll see, you know, how this goes, but, you know, the Kavanaugh thing was pretty transformational. And I don't think that the left wants to set itself up with another similar situation where the guy.

is wholly vindicated because they are so nuts. But we'll see. But the DeSantis thing, it looks like there might be some chess at work here. And I don't know. I'm of a lot of thoughts about it. So we'll see. So some of the other things, too, I want to make sure that we're touching on. We've got, like I said, the SCOTUS, they're looking at the ban on the sex

reassignment stuff. That was a Tennessee law for that. I want to come back to the story. We just had it briefly in headlines. And thankfully, this is Canada. and not the United States. But the headline is the town was fined because they refused to celebrate Pride Month.

It's a town of 1,300 people, so it's a small town. The town, interestingly enough, is named Emo. It's in Ontario. And they violated the Ontario Human Rights Code that the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario established. And they said that their great offense. I mean, when you think that somebody violated just, Pause for a minute. When you hear that somebody violated like some kind of human rights code, you think, wow, that sounds pretty serious, right? I mean, human rights? Super serious. What did they do? Oh, it says here that they in the month of June did not proclaim that month, Pride Month. I'm sorry, what? Oh, and they also were cited because they did not, they had failure to fly an LGBQ to whatever, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

rainbow flag. It's a $10,000 fine, excuse me, and all of the officials in Emo are required to complete mandatory human rights training. See. Yeah, Kaine, what's your question? Who do they pay it to?

Like the fine? I don't know. The gays? I don't know. The article doesn't actually say. Is the city has to pay the city? Like, what? They got a fine. Ontario, maybe. like the province of Ontario?

So they chose not to celebrate. Well, it's not that they didn't celebrate. They just were like, we're not going to put up these tacky flags. Right. Because they are tacky. But they didn't celebrate to the standard of whoever is criticizing this. Well, I mean, if your question is, did they have a parade and fly the flags and send everyone out

and leather dominatrix gear with ball gags, like the Gimp from Pulp Fiction, to go out and have like a full-on, you know, painting pictures. A street festival of sex capades. Then you're correct. They did not do that. There were no street sex capades

celebrating pride over how you choose to do it behind closed doors. And that costs money. I mean, where's the, like, you can have pride in a lot. Pride is a sin, by the way. So I think it's ironic that they're being fine for not celebrating literal sin, which is pride.

But whatever. But why is that a thing? Like, why do you got, oh, if you didn't fly the flag, you didn't affirm how someone has to sex. It's Canada, so they're not going to fight it. They're going to probably apologize and offer some maple syrup. I don't know. The maple leaf people up there. Oh, eh, we're so sorry, eh.

We forgot to fly the flag, eh? But are they paying the federal government? Are they paying that particular? Well, I don't know. It's probably Ontario. It's probably, I don't know. It's the Ontario people. I don't know.

I don't know who these people are. The Canadians up there. They issue fines because somebody didn't fly. The town was asked to fly the alphabet rainbow flag for a week of your choosing. I choose no weeks. There's my choosing. Yeah. Yeah, you didn't say I had to choose a week.

So the language part is on use, Slick. I think there's some legal wiggle room here. I mean, where are the straight people flags at? Right. Where's that at? What do we get? It's just the Canadian flag. I mean, I just don't think that you're going to be appropriating the rainbow first.

off that's appropriation and I was told that was wrong. So you're appropriating the rainbow from the Christians. So let's stop there. Let's stop. That's that's taken from Noah's time. So come up with your own thing. We've got to have a straight person's flag then. And then do you get like the straight person to four spear or whatever? Or what about the straight person flag and then don't you get like an extra buff that goes along with it? Like like spaghetti and meatballs, the straight person or this straight person can successfully eat etymami if it's three beans in without having to take two bites. Like how particular does it get? I'm a medium rare steak flag.

Yeah. Like the well done people, out. Get out. You can't live in America. I don't care if you were born and raised here six generations. We'll deport you somewhere. Don't bring that well done flag over here. Yeah.

No well done nothing. Well done is only for like jobs, not meat. So I don't know. I just, oh, so they said that there's a group. called the Borderland Pride Group, which sounds like a bunch of terrorist twinks. I'm going to be honest with you. So I just love it. They're very upset.

They said in a single 12-month period, they did not receive, they did not see a single week where the flag was flown. They said that Emo ignored their repeated requests, so they got mad about it. And they said that they need to take Human Rights 101. I think I'm going to lead a human rights course. I'm going to offer it on the Internet. I'm going to offer a human rights course. So if someone offends you, you punch them. Joking.

No, joking. It's totally serious. I just, this stuff is so dumb. And then I get mad because I'm like, why didn't I get into this? I would love to just fleece the left, right? I could make it up and make up a company, right? Go in there. I'm going to offer you human rights courses.

Now, here's the, and just make it ridiculous. And they'll go along with it because they're the left. They're too terrified to be seen as going against the grain. They, they, the desire to be so homogenous has, has killed any desire for individuality at all. So they, they are terrified. They're terrified to poke a head up. No, they got to go with it. So I feel like that would, you know, no one would ask anything, King, because then I could be like, are you assuming all of these things about me?

What? And then, oh, no, they don't want to be offended. And then we could also form an ancillary like human rights council that we can cite people and then just pay ourselves from the fines. Sounds like you're trying to make government bigger. It sounds like I just came up with a damn great job. And I'll, and I, and that's what it sounds like. I'm out. Look, I'm a capitalist.

I'm, if I can make money off of somebody's stupidity like that on the left, all I'm all for it. High fives. High five and all the angels.

And now all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. So the house was Jean-Binay Ramsey was murdered, still can't sell after 16 years on and off the market. It's a creepy little gentrified. Briddlekin house. They said that it's the sprawling Tudor mansion and it's become a real estate pariah. And I mean, it's $6.9 million. And they dropped it by almost a million dollars seven months later and still nobody was coming to buy it. And they keep, they keep having to take it off the market. I mean, yeah, it's kind of, they found, remember, they found her body in the basement or rarely used room down in the basement. So I don't know. It's just, I wouldn't, I don't think I'd want, right? I don't think I'd want to.

no no no no a man's male copulatory organ was completely ruined after a doctor gave him an unnecessary injection for erectile dysfunction he's not going to get over $400,000 for his trouble no $412,000

or sorry yes that's right $412 million for his trouble is it worth it $412 million yes you're correct that's is that really worth the call is it though who's paying that money the hospital that's a lot stick with this we got more to store it's the folks over it's new to the program burn a gun that's the non-firearm firearm and burn a gun is is a good option to have to diversify what you use for self-defense and it's ideal for environments where guns are banned i mean think about it i mean there's i would love to i always tell people to carry i have no problem you use you use you for you use it's ideal for environments where guns are banned i mean think about it i mean there's i would love to

I always tell people to carry. I have no problem using lethal force, but at the same time, because of the nature of my work, I sometimes have to go to places where I'm not allowed to by the property or the municipality to carry there. But, you know, I can have my burn a gun, my non-firearm firearm. No waiting periods, no background checks. It's legal in all 50 states, and it shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can disable threats from up to 50 feet away. And it has a five-round capacity. And that's, when you compare that to stun guns, where you got one or two shots, you have a lot more options for self-defense. It's quick deployment, easy target acquisition, no recoil. And so if you're prevented from carrying, always have some kind of option as a backup. And this is where Berna comes in, legal in all 50 states, and it's an effective deterrent.

Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you at the bottom of this second hour. And the Supreme Court looks like they're leaning towards upholding those restrictions that the state of Tennessee has as it pertains to. the trans surgeries and things. I'm not calling it gender affirming care because it's a stupid made-up phrase

that is used by people to mislead others on the true issue at being debated. So I don't know. It just, it looks looks like that's the way that they're leaning according to a lot of the court reporters and people that watch SCOTUS. And in addition, I guess they asked Hegseth

once again whether or not he's going to or he would withdraw from sect-def consideration, and he said, no. So interesting. I just, that's why I'm just sitting back watching, you know, all these people talk and, you know, just a little, just a little interesting, a little odd, just saying, just watching all the rumors come out about this. But the Supreme Court, though, that's good news, indeed, that that, at least is where they're leaning. I mean, the idea that you're going to, sterilize someone, especially if they're minors, before they've even fully matured, before their brains have even fully developed, that you are going to sterilize them, make them live in a way

that requires medication for life, and call that quote-unquote gender affirming care is one of the most evil things I can think of. It's truly evil. and that's what's being done. So I just, you know, that's what they've been in Tennessee, wanted to pass restrictions against it. And that's what they're fighting about right now. That's what they're hearing these arguments for in Supreme Court right now as it pertains to Tennessee.

And I mean, I don't know how you can have people like Cantanji Brown Jackson be on the court and adjudicate this because she can't even define what a woman is. And if you're not able to define what a woman is, how are you able to then present a decision on this issue? This is where the ideology meets practicality. How do you then determine that you're going to adjudicate an issue and you can't even define the terms involved in it? you see how dumbness is like sorry man but you can't define what a woman is how are you i'm just going to how are you going to do this so a few other things the i mentioned hegs such a bit ago there's a piece that came up on mc and they're they tried to hit him with an email with his mom now they're

saying that 10 current and former fox employees say that he drank in ways that concerned his co-workers. Other people said it was false. They said that there were a dozen occasions during his time when he co-hosted Fox & Friends weekend, which people would smell alcohol on him before he went on air. And they would say that he would talk about being hung over as he was getting ready on set, etc. How old is these? Like 40-something years old? I don't know. And also, yeah, I don't believe any of these people. I don't believe any of these people. They said that he was intoxicated acting in his official capacity report while he was president of concerned veterans from America to the point of needing to be carried out of organizations' events. And this was what the New Yorker wrote,

if you want to believe the New Yorker. The New Yorker is pretty left-leaning. And so if you're a left-leaning entity and you're trying to dig up dirt on somebody, who are you going to talk to? You're going to talk to conservative people? Are you going to talk to left-leaning people? It's like a game of confirmation bias. So that's who they were. They ran this. And then in addition to this, they're trying to argue about his drinking.

They also had this thing that said, this is the Concern Veterans for America, where they said that they're denying, this is the trustee of the group, was denying that he had been, denied in 2016 that the current defense secretary designee was forced out of the position to do drinking and other misconduct directly contradicting whistleblowers who spoke with the New Yorker. So this is one of the reporters in New York Post. So this, this trustee, Randy

Lair, who is a trustee for concerned veterans for America, said that in this, talked about his departure in this letter. And they said that they normally, don't respond to this type of stuff, but they felt that it was important to do so. It was a very personal attack. They said he resigned his position as a result of difference of opinion to the future of the organization, this is from the letter, so that he could focus on other endeavors, including his relationship with Foxy was not terminated. They said that they work with him through this decision. They agreed that it was the best timing for both parties, et cetera. So this this absolutely contradicts the New Yorker piece.

That contradicts that piece. So far, it just doesn't seem as though the detractors have a lot. Am I right? So I'm just curious as to why there's all of this effort to these rumors about the DeSantis factor stepping in. Because so far it doesn't look, I don't, Trump hasn't said anything. about Hegg Seth. I mean, it seems like they've emptied everything at him at this point, right? I mean, what else is there? Did he run over kittens or something? Like, what else do we have?

Did he put onions in his macaroni and cheese? Did he put nuts and cookies? Like, what else? Like, tell me, because those right there, disqualifying. Yeah. First of all, nuts don't belong in cookies. They don't belong in chocolate chip cookies. Chocolate chip cookies. That's for chocolate chips. If you want nut cookies, make your trash nut cookies and keep them out of the chocolate chip cookies. I don't want it. Oatmeal raisin, though, is way better. That's disgusting. What? I think they're nasty. Omeal raisin cookies are punishment. You know why? It's crappy breakfast and here's some dried grapes. What do you? I like chocolate chip a lot, but I just happen to like oatmeal raisin a little bit better.

Why? Why do you have to like completely hate oatmeal raisin cook? Because I do. Because it's nasty. It's like the nastiest dessert. ever conceived. I'm insulted. Like if someone's like, here's some oatmeal raisin, I'm no thanks. I'm not going to eat them. Just imagine from my perspective. You like candy corn. Yeah. Yeah. So.

Yeah. But when it comes to cookies, because candy corn doesn't look like boogers. Raisins do. And I don't want it on my oatmeal cookies. The end. Not going to lie. Let's move on. We've established this why it's nasty, right? Okay. Because it's gross.

Okay. That's the important thing. So like if he liked oatmeal raisin cookies, Sorry, but I can't support it. He resigned from his difference of opinion because he likes trash cookies, is why. Immediately disqualified. It's got to tell you, immediately. Is that fair? It's totally fair in my world.

I can't, yeah, I will never trust anybody that likes an oatmeal raisin cookie more than a chocolate soap cookie. I can't do it. No. It's me, though. No. You better reevaluate your life. Life's choices, Kane.

No, you like, what is the matter with you? Why do you hate America? I like Obio Raisin cookies. What's wrong with that? It's not that I hate. It's like if I say I like waffles and you're like, why I eat pancakes for it? The sentence was specifically like them more than chocolate chip cookies. Yeah, I do like them.

If I had, if there is a plate. Okay, now we're back to the original spot. What? That's the point. No. You can't be sacked up. Sorry. I don't want to be sick, deaf.

Pull in your nomination now. If there was a plate. of cookies on the left that were chocolate chip cookies on the right were oatmeal raisin i would first go to the oatmeal raisin one and you're saying you'd go you'd you'd throw the oatmeal raisin ones on the floor yeah throw them on the floor okay and anyone who tried to eat in i just yeah throw them on the floor too because i'm living let live kind of guy there you go yeah yeah so i got to share with you this is uh the solicitor general that's arguing this the train's case before scotis You want to hear this, this, this is apparently what she wrote in a brief submitted to the court.

Quote, Oh, come here. An adolescent assigned female at birth cannot receive puberty blockers or testosterone to live and present as a male, but an adolescent assigned male at birth can and vice versa. An adolescent assigned male at birth cannot receive puberty blockers or estrogen to live and present as a female, but an adolescent assigned female at birth can. That is sex discrimination. First off, the Solicitor General is Elizabeth Pre-Logal.

are who assigns them the sex assigned female like there's a giant pre-earth waiting room where angels walk around and be like that one's a girl let's assign male to that one that one is and then they get their genitals upon entering to the world but no one's assigning anything it would no that she very clearly believes that there is assignments that go out and she is believing something incorrect because it's just people observing. It's just, nobody's assigning anything. You're observing. Well, the Lord assigned it.

Well, yeah. But no one here on earth is assigning it. We're just observing and then noting it. Yeah. That's it. I hate the language of this stuff. I mean, this is the dumbest thing ever. There's, their heart, excuse me, she's arguing that there are certain drugs and things that are available only to men or certain drugs and things available only to women.

because one set of, like one drug can hurt men, another drug can hurt women, and that that's somehow sex discrimination. We don't make the laws of reality, you dumb broad. This is just the way of the world. There's going to be stuff that men can take that women can't take. There's going to be stuff that women can take that men can't take. Oh my gosh. I feel like we're dealing with some of the stupidest people on God's green earth. You have to explain it like this to these people?

And so elementary a term? This is so stupid. I mean, that's like saying, well, why can't I a man get a hysterectomy? Well, I don't know. Take it up with the Lord. Don't know why you can't. Why can't I get a prostate check? Take it up with the Lord. Good night. Nothing was assigned. Like you just have like a Barbie mound area and then you don't get genitals until you're in the world. Or you don't get your chromosomes until you're in the world. It's just so goofy.

People, this is anti-science. It really is. You have to be anti-science to argue the stuff that they're arguing before SCOTUS. You absolutely have to be. As we move, our partners over at Hillsdale College are doing their job educating the dumb people of America. I mean, you know, I'm talking about the people who think that they're liberal. I had a friend whose kid went to the kid to Hillsdale. Just found this out. And they were kind of liberal, right? Grew up in a conservative household. This kid goes to Hillsdale. Actually is educated. Comes back. Smarter than the parents ever thought the kid could. be. I say kid. They were like 19 years old, but you know what I mean? And they were actually employing critical thinking. And the parents were like, it's our, they're saying it's their Christmas miracle this year. All I'm saying is that Hillsdale actually focuses on academic

excellence, which is weird to say, because you think that most colleges would do it, but apparently Hillsdale is a diamond in the rough. And they have the type of education that is required to protect the values of liberty. So this is what's important. They go about it the founder's way. The founders understood classical education is incredibly important because you have to be educated in order to preserve your rights and to fight for your rights. And that's what Hillsdale teaches. It's part of their mission since they're founding in 1844. And you don't have to just go to their campus in Michigan. They have all kinds of free resources for you online where they have educational podcasts. They have their free speech digest and primus. They have all kinds of stuff.

You can check out everything that they have to offer and learn more about Hillsdale at Danaforehillsdale.com. some time, learn what makes them so special, and learn why so many people are so satisfied with the education that they're receiving at Hillsdale College. Dana 4-F-O-R-Hillsdale.com. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man. A Florida man trying to buy crack on Craigslist was arrested when an undercover deputy answered the ad. They, Holmes County Sheriff's Office.

Their investigators responded to the ad, posed as a seller, set up a meeting with the individual who had been identified as Anthony Mata. Deputies say that Mata negotiated to buy an eight ball of meth for $80. After finalizing the deal, the investigator met him at the agreed-upon location. They exchanged money. Deputies moved in. Yeah, on Craigslist, that just seems so sketchy. That's so sketchy. And meth is bad.

And these guys look like they're in an old-timey movie. I'm just saying just Let's see I can't read the dog story Oh my gosh This guy A Daytona Beach man Douglas Matney

M-A-T-N-E-Y Douglas Matney M-A-T-N-E-Y If he looks He looks exactly like a doucheer looks 21 years old Charged with felony animal cruelty He's out of the Volusia County

Branch jail and $5,000 bond He apparently shot a two-year-old Black Bull Pick mix pit bull mix named Zola and he shot the dog in the right cheek because the dog was aggressive during bath time and they found him with that they found the 55 pound dog with a bullet wound to his cheek and it stopped in his abdomen and he did not get medical attention for the pet and the police said that the dog apparently had non-functional back legs and was uncontrollably urinating on itself it was been a lot

of pain in this guy I want this I want to scout this dude I just that's my own personal free speech opinion. I am not, you guys know what I think. Give me five, oh my gosh, give me 60 seconds. Please, for the love of all things holy, at a lock room with this dude. How's he out on $5,000 bomb? That was my thing. I mean,

that's, I know, exactly. That's just, you know, this guy's, oh, so yeah, I hope he gets, it'd be great if he had some prison time. And if some prison justice befell him, I'm not saying that money would magically be deposited in the commissary of anybody who was maybe a part of

but, you know, I'm maybe might be saying that. I don't know. I'm pretty Mayor of Kingstown about some of this stuff. So I don't know. Anyway, so that, oh, I need a happy story now because that just makes me, that makes me mad. That's a horrible story. We could talk about this Florida dude who I don't, oh gosh, these people. So this Florida dude, he was denied entry to a USAA building and he put on a helmet and drove his car right into the facility. Robert Beattie, 70.

he went to the guard gate at the USS at the USAAA office and demanded to be let inside. They said, not going to happen. So then he put on a helmet and drove right through the parking garage and they're through their fences. Two people in a Mark security SUV tried to block him in, but then he reversed and struck their vehicle to create some space. He was on the third floor when they found him of the parking garage taken into custody. He got charged with two felony counts, aggravated battery with a deadly. weapon, one felony count of burglary of an occupied structure, felony account of criminal mischief, $1,000 or more, he got some more charges.

Thankfully, nobody was injured. But, I mean, the fact that he went and put on a helmet and then drove his car through. Yeah, I don't, I don't know. Let's see, this. No, no, I'm not doing that one. We could talk about the teacher from Port St. Lucy found Nekid any KKID in an elementary school. Joe Urius faces multiple charges, including battery and a law enforcement officer, Somerset College Preparatory Academy.

And apparently, according to Port St. Lucy, the 34-year-old Urius was found after police were dispatched to Windpoint Elementary School for a burglary in progress. When they arrived, they found him naked in the classroom among clothes, food, a laptop, drugs, and some private time accessories. I don't know how else to say it. he reclodes himself and try to run out of the building once he was discovered but guess what they got him and then the cop that grabbed him was punched in the face your eyes was arrested taken to st lucy county jail wow he's got a lot of uh lewd behavior burglary possession of marijuana battery law enforcement i mean he's got a lot he's got a lot he's got a lot there's too much to read he's got a lot and he's going to be in major trouble trouble major major trouble we have more on the way the latest the supreme court the arguments facing the court today.

You know, with you in Angola, a vibrant city, and I look, not the city, the city I know is not Angola, but in Angola in a vibrant city. Boy, oh boy. Oh, my gosh. So that's Joe Biden when he was in Africa. I saw a video of him yesterday where he was just, what was he doing? He just,

was wandering around. Again, he had to be guided by one of the leaders there to, like, walk down this, like, carpeted path towards a dais, and he was just kind of all over. It was weird. There was one little step, and the other leader had to help. It looked bad. It looked bad. Notice you don't see Harris anywhere anymore either. Nowhere. Nowhere. Where is she at? Welcome. back to the program. Again, Dana Lash, with you. We're at the top of this third hour, still under the weather. We're making it through. We're making it through. And we're getting you set up with all the news through the week. We're also watching the arguments before the Supreme Court about this ban in Tennessee on experimental surgery, experimental surgery, sex changes for minors. And I've, what, three hours of arguments so far? And the Biden administration keeps saying,

that they have an overwhelming amount of evidence, the benefits of giving people hormonal castration, et cetera, et cetera. It's a wild argument to make before someone's even reached the age of consent legally. You're going to allow them to, yeah, let's go ahead and get chemically castrated or, you know, surgically. It's just unbelievable that this is the argument before the court today. And, but it looks like the court's leaning towards common sense and erring on the side of caution, particularly as it relates to minors, our kids. So, you know, we'll see with that. They were trying to figure out because the other argument that was in this is whether or not it's constitutional or unconstitutional, rather,

for states to protect minors from harmful and unnecessary elective medical procedures, which seems, you know, I'm not trying to beg the question with the way that I'm phrasing it, but that, I mean, that's the reality of the question and how it's this idea of transitioning is an ideological, not a medical discussion. So I will see, because this is something that, you know, you're talking about minors everywhere and the right to happiness are certain things that you think that extend beyond the, the jurisdiction of states. So we don't have any decisions, but where the judge that's in this, or sorry, the judge, the attorney, one of the attorneys in this case, the lawyer with the ACLU who's arguing about it. This is Chase, Audios Summit 19, Strangio, right. This is the trans lawyer with the ACLU who is making these arguments towards the before

go to us, listen. To a law that is banning this care for minors. So if Tennessee is successful, if the Supreme Court in essence sides with the government of Tennessee, I think that will open the door to the types of federal bans on this care, not only for minors, but for adults too. For adults, do, you think. I do. And I think that's one of the things we should be really concerned about.

We're hearing a lot about young people can't consent to this care, but it is their parents consenting to this care. What do you think that Chase Strangio was assigned at birth? I don't think She was assigned anything I think the doctor observed The lack of male genitalia And put down the only other option

Which was female Yeah I mean that's How do you grow facial hair like that But your voice still sounds like Mickey Mouse I dude I don't know This

She's the deputy director For transgender justice and a staff attorney with the ACLU. And she's being celebrated as the first person cos playing as a man to make oral arguments before the Supreme Court. So she decided to do this of her own free will and make the determination, you know, I guess,

after becoming of age. and this person, I mean, she's in previous argument, she's even acknowledged that the kids aren't actually the ones giving consent to do this, which I would think that would undermine your entire argument, right? If you're saying that the kids aren't actually giving consent to do this, well, then how is this, you're not providing consent? This is wild. But that's the attorney that's arguing this before SCOTUS.

And it looks as though Scotus is leaning towards some common sense. I mean, at least initially, that's what it looks like. I mean, we'll see. We'll watch all that for you. But they, I mean, it's been, from the notes that I've seen, it's been pretty crazy thus far. And it got kind of, because they were saying that even, they tried to compare. So one of the reporters was saying that they were trying to compare, quote unquote, I hate this phrase, gender affirming care.

It's experimental surgery. That every medical treatment has risk even taking aspirin was one of the remarks. Okay. The risks for the experimental surgeries that they call gender affirming care are sterilization, hormonal problems for life, hormonal abuse, mental, physical. I mean, it's, oh my gosh. is not, you can't just diminish this with a comparison to getting your wienish chopped off, inverted into a frankengyna, is the exact same as, you know, the risks associated with popping

an aspirin. It's not even remotely similar. The fact that people make this argument that immediately get out of my courtroom, get out, you're too stupid to argue. But that was pretty much like within the first 20 minutes that that was done. So that gives you an immediate insight into how wild this is. They think it's just, oh, well, you know, I mean, it's just, there's risks with everything, like popping aspirin. That's like saying there's a risk of stepping on a Lego in your house and a risk of driving off a bridge when you're on the freeway. I mean, you know, they're the same. It's the exact same. It's just wild. And then you had Kintanji Brown Jackson, you know, the judge who doesn't know what a woman is.

who was trying to argue that somehow it's if you're banning the experimental surgery for minors, that that's somehow the same as banning an racial marriage? Yeah. What? How is chopping off boobs and trying to say that you're a dude now unnecessarily? In any way like two people entering into a covenant with the law? lord in marriage. What in the world? These comparisons are getting

crazier than the standard conflation of like, you know, oh, you're against immigration because you don't like illegal immigration. That used to be the main conflation. Now it's just so ridiculous. Oh, gosh, January 20th, couldn't come fast

enough. She actually had said, according to Leo Sapir, who's another reporter in the courtroom, Cantanji Brown Jackson gave a hypothetical a boy who identifies as a boy but takes puberty blockers because he wants to lower his voice rather than change his, they're talking about, you know, in instances, I guess, that the medicine, whatever can be used for.

What? A boy who identifies as a boy would not have to have their voice lowered by taking puberty blockers. That is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. How in the hell are these people in the position to adjudicate those? How? And apparently Alito, he noted that the capital, report found found no evidence that gender affirmative treatments reduce suicide. He says accurately, he says that there's zero evidence in any of these studies. There are multiple studies that do show

that there is a reduction in suicidality. So we admit that it does nothing to reduce any suicide rate, any mental health catastrophe, nothing. We admit that it's not actual consent. We admit that, Okay, so what is the argument for this? You're pumping kids full of hormones that you don't know the long-term effects to. You're mutilating them before they're even of age with experimental surgeries. I mean, Europe has banned this. Of all the times that the United States doesn't want to copy Europe, why is it over this? I mean, they copy them over everything else.

Makes zero sense. It's just, just assonite, but this is where we're at, where we're at. Where we are at. Now, a couple of other things to touch on. The, as we were saying, I watched the SECDF pick because apparently there's a lot of movement on the Hegseth thing. I don't know what's going to happen. I just think it's all, I don't know. I feel like that there's two different camps in the Trump transition group.

And it seems that one camp has been making some not so stellar recommendations. And then the other camp has been putting forward some pretty solid recommendations. And I feel like the latter camp probably needs to rule from here on. I mean, I think it's great to get people who like whack the libs on X, but what does that translate to practical, like actual meat space effects? You need to have someone who's going to be able to make those kind of, make the kind of changes that you need. So we'll see.

In the meantime, where's Biden? Is he going to the Notre Dame thing too? The Notre Dame reopening? Is it by the, I think. I was looking, because Trump is going, I think he's going like, uh, apparently it was reported that Macron was begging Trump to, to visit the Notre Dame reopening. And apparently it's going to be, they're opening the doors to the public. They had the fire in 2019. So they had to do a lot of work. And I guess that they are, I mean, I don't know if he, if Trump was already going before

McCrone tried to convince him, but they're doing the opening. It's going to be on the 8th. So it's going to be actually, really shortly. I mean, you're looking at what, four days' time? So I think that he's I would, is Biden

going to go? I mean, he was in Africa and then in Brazil, not doing so well. Did he fall asleep? Wait, we have audio of him actually falling asleep. Audio of somebody 20. He's trying to keep his eyes open. This was how

bad it is. Is he really, watch this and then you determine whether you think he's going to go to Paris. With the U.S. in support of the development of the Robito Corridorado. Tanzania views the Robiton. Simultaneous interpreter on.

We also appreciate the fact that the implementation of the project will provide important opportunities for Africa's development in sectors such as a abaculture

renewal. You know what your parents would tell you when you were young? I'm going to close my eyes for a minute. That meant nap. We all know that. I'm just going to close my eyes. Did your parents ever say that to you?

And you're like, wait a minute. Are you napping? No, I'm just closing my eyes. Okay, good, because they thought you were napping. Right. So, Biden has no idea what's happening. I don't see. He'd follow.

sleep at that too. No one knows. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick 5. So Britney Spear says that she's really five years old and moving to Mexico. Yeah, it was a footage via TMZ that was posted to her Instagram account.

She says that paparazzi put her on a plane with a mask over her face while carrying a torch. And then she just said that she turned 42 when she's actually 43, but then said, really, she actually meant she's turned five and she is moving to Mexico

and going to kindergarten because the paparazzi are cruel. This chick really needed her conservatorship. I mean it's not right. So, man, so I'm just saying that's kind of sad, but

felony charge over a dipping sauce dispute via smoking gun. The this is in Florida. It could have been a Florida story. 31 year old woman was arrested for strong-arm robbery because fast food workers failed to include her sauces in her mobile pickup order. Her name is Kinsey Keeling. She's got blue and pink hair. She got her grub from her raising canes in Clearwater. She was missing eight packs of cane sauce. You've got to have that cane

special sauce. She said that she wanted to be, she wanted those more extra sauces in return for wasting time and gas. Her extra sauce bid was refused and then she began yelling. and she was physical and blah, blah, blah, and so she was released on $2,500 bond. You know, you could just go in and be like, hey, you forgot my sauces. It's nothing I'm going to get a felony charge over, but I would like my sauces, right?

I mean, it's super easy to keep yourself out of certain situations. Hackers are leaning into total destruction. It's not just about getting data anymore. I mean, they would have destroyed everything, according to this piece from MSN, And they said that it's becoming more and more damaging. And that, I mean, destroying the entire networks, not just, you know, hits here and there are getting, getting information. A man was tasered by police after he tried to carjack an Uber while naked.

Activities you don't do naked. Crouching, carjacking, things like that. A man was tasered while he was buck naked. in front of shocked onlookers in Perth, Australia. His name Pooey Clark, of course it is, running naked from police down, busy James Street, Northbridge. He tried to carjack an Uber. It didn't work out very well for him. So it's all on camera, too, none of which we can show for obvious reasons.

Stay with us. We've got a lot more on the way. Keep your finger on the Pulse with a Dana Show podcast, delivering timely news with insightful analysis. Whenever you want, straight to you on YouTube. Apple or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash, here with you. And we are, of course, you know, here discussing all of the latest cabinet picks, everything else with POTUS and POTUS elect. And then we were kind of questioning where Potas is.

Not quite sure where he went. I don't know what's happening there. We'll see. A couple of things. I got some audio. I wanted to put out here. This is this is wild.

Audio sound bite 15. Eric Adams, the New York City Mayor. He says, well, he's been very, very critical over the illegal alien crisis in New York. And he had some things to say about it. He dared the left even to cancel him yesterday.

He also added this, audio soundbite 15. The long-term impact of what we did to this city is going to, you're going to see it materialized in administrations in the future. They hurt the future of New York City. And when people hear me say $6.4 billion, they may say, well, okay, it's just a billion here, a billion there. No, we didn't invest in seniors the way we should have and young people the way we should have.

We're not going out to get these chronic absentee students the way we should have. the crimes that we witnessed, this impacted our city. And people don't seem to understand why were you fighting so hard for this? Because I reflected on that 11-year-old boy that was denied. And I went into government to stop these 11-year-old boys. And I came up with a plan to do so. And the federal government made me take $6.4 billion out of providing these services that we should. We all should be angry at what happened to our city under this administration.

Oh, it was that last point there. Woo! They're going to get him. He's not going to be invited for any more Democrat fundraisers after that. I don't see how that happens. But he's not wrong. Here's the thing. And I keep seeing this because I'm just sort of watching some of the stuff at play

and looking at things like Democrats going into 28 and all this stuff. they there's going to be a huge problem they still have a big problem they haven't done like a proper actual post-mortem of why they lost it's obvious to us why they lost it's not obvious to the left why they lost Now, by the left, I mean people in D.C. Because Eric Adams seems to kind of get it. And I don't agree with him on hardly anything. But on this, you know, it's not incorrect. That's not what you're hearing from Democrats in D.C.

Democrats in D.C. don't think that anything's wrong. They think the economy's great. If you listen to their soundbites. that economy's great. There's no issue at the border. What they're, I guess, living or experiencing is miles wide, inches deep in terms of the depth that they're willing to explore it. It's so different from what we're living. But then you've got governors and you've got mayors like Eric Adams who are saying things that he's not, what he's saying isn't Republican stuff.

I mean, what he's saying is what anybody would say if they had a brain and eyes. They can see exactly what's happening. They know what's going on here. They can see the crime. They can see the unfettered, you know, thousands that are being brought illegally across the border and being sent to New York because it's a sanctuary city. They see the crimes committed by unvetted individuals who were just allowed to enter. No way of checking.

any kind of criminal record. People are done with it. They're fed up. This is reflected in the language and the positions of local and state lawmakers. But then it seems to end there. Nationally, federally, in D.C., totally different story. They're not going to be able to win another election until they fix that schism. It's a difference of, and I said this earlier, when your ideology meets reality. Reality requires sober observance. Reality requires practicality. Reality requires policy, like actual workable policy, not just simply denial.

Until they figure this out, this is going to be a problem that they have for quite a some time. We may never see another Democrat victory in our generation again. They're saying two different things. They're saying two different things. It's why in some states you had, like in blue wall states, if you went back and looked, some of the state lawmakers who were running for re-election were Democrats, and they did well. But then the people voted for Trump for president. Don't you think that's interesting? You had Democrats that didn't turn out. The turnout for us, this last election, was actually pretty much almost the same as it was in 2020. Republicans didn't have a banger year for turnout.

There wasn't any kind of exorbitant record-setting turnout because Republicans are good like that. But what you did have was record-setting lack of turnout for Democrats. No enthusiasm. They were giving nothing concrete to rally around. and a lot of them, a lot of Democrats that did turn out, they changed their affiliation and they voted for Republicans because they felt that the messaging that they were hearing, the policy proposals that they were reading

were more in line with what they wanted and what they needed to happen than what they had previously believed with Democrats. This is going to be a problem for Democrats until they can get this. They've got to figure out how to reconcile these two very different things here. So did you hear about, I didn't know that there was luxury cannabis.

I mean, I guess you can have artisanal weed. You can have artisanal anything, right? But what makes it artisanal? I mean, it doesn't get much more artisanal than growing in the sequoias with bigfoot, right? I mean, I don't know. Jay-Z had apparently a luxury cannabis company, which is funny to me. and it it struggled to sell $50 joints I'm sorry was it now I don't know how

don't make fun of me shut up does it come in like a carton like cigarettes do you get like a bunch of the joints or is it just like one no I mean I guess you can buy several but they don't come in packs like sighing there is a company that does them and they make them look like cigarettes but they're actually Or do people make their own?

Yeah, no. People mostly roll their own, but they sell them in pre-roll. Sorry, do you do like a grape leaf, like with cigars or is it like just like cigarette paper? I'm curious. Yeah, it's cigarette paper. Okay, so were these, I guess, pre-rolled? Right. Luxury joints. $50.

Again, not knowing. I only know like the hysterical stuff that I've ever seen with Cheech and Chong. I mean, I'm assuming they're like that, $50 for one of them, how much does that get you? What is, what are we talking about here? Yeah, Cheech and Chong is shockingly real life. Oh. That's real life. So you get one joint for $50?

No. That's what it says here. No, I know that's a very, $50 for one of his luxury joints. I get that was their effort. but it didn't work out, obviously. Yeah, they lost half a billion dollars since they launched. Yeah. How do you lose money on weed?

If you do it stupid? Make it really expensive. This is like one of the dumbest things I've ever seen in my life. They act like, they're like, oh, Sean Carter's a great businessman. Maybe, but not with this, because I'm not even in the pot. And I could have told you, you're selling one little joint for $50. Are you stupid? it's the luxury joint. What is it? Like, do California condors tal and roll it? Like, how does that

work? Are there gold flakes that you smoke? What is it? Apparently, California has a tough legal pot market. I didn't know that either. It's wild. I love that everybody has to deal with bureaucracy. Like nobody, even the sin, even the sin industries, I love it. They said that none of the retailers across California and Arizona, they don't stock Jay Z's buds or joints on their online menus.

Yeah. And they had, oh my gosh, this is Kamala level crazy. $575 million that they launched with. And now they're in trouble. They said that Jay Z's monogram products are overpriced and

underwhelming. Wow. And see, you never really get rid of of the criminal element. They said California's legal weed sector has been stymied by complex rules, high taxes, competitions from black market traders, wildfires, sliding prices. A lot of people have been pushed into insolvency. But they said that it was mind-boggling the amount of money that was pushed for this. I could have told you immediately that probably not going to work. You're talking about luxury pot. People are broke. Everybody that is broke. And the people who are going to be doing this are probably not going to be

like the Jay-Z rich level people. They're going to be people who think that smoking this makes them Jay-Z-rich-level. And now they can't afford it because everybody's broke because of the president Jay-Z endorsed. And his administration. So I can't say that. I feel sorry for him. I don't.

I just think it's funny. Like who thought that, you know what? We're in a time of a, it's a lockdown. Let's launch a luxury cannabis company and charge people. $50. per joint. What else can you make luxury? Like artisanal wheat. Are you going to do artisanal kefir, Kane?

It's pretty artisanal. I don't know how much more artisanal you can make it. It's pretty artisanal on its own. I don't know. Glass bottles preserved from, you know, Quaker. I have no idea what you could do with it. Yeah, that sounds, during a time of inflation, I just don't think that luxury stuff,

especially starting any kind of luxury line is going to make it take off. Gen Z, here's the story. Gen Z is killing the Christmas party. People are sober, curious, band aid is banned, and everybody goes home early. Ghali, this generation sucks.

This is horrible. I don't want to party with these people. Who ruined their lives. Yeah, no, right? Who dukied in their weaties? Jiminy. They even know what those are. They said,

Missile toe is a firm no-no. Apparently Missile toe sales have plummeted. I didn't even know. I've seen that. So stupid. They said that going to bed early is in. Gifting olive oil instead of alcohol.

Shut up. Hot chocolate. And then out, band-aid, Missile Toe, and alcohol. I mean, I don't know. I just don't know. Christmas parties,

I don't care if somebody drinks or not. But if you're gifting alk, if you're giving olive oil, man, you better be knowing you're cooking. Don't just grab some cheap old olive oil because it's just stupid. Can't just give me a serious look? That's a real thing. No plastic bottles. Yeah, you don't put, keep it on plastic bottle either. I don't know. Isn't this the generation or is it millennials that got upset over baby? It's cold outside. I think it was millennials. Yeah, they ruin everything. These people ruin everything. Yeah, now they're like, oh, here we are hanging out and just, you know, no mistletoe. No, Band-Aid's part.

of it. You got to make fun of Band-Aid. That's the whole point of it. You played and you make fun of the fact that all these celebrities got together and apparently Michael Jackson was weirded out. It's weird. It's funny. You make fun of it. Jiminy. Everybody's stop being so serious.

On the go and need a quick news fix with a fun twist. Follow Dana's absurd truth podcast for bite size and formative episodes. Perfect for your busy schedule on Apple or wherever you get your podcast. I read this story about how Hunter Biden apparently, isn't that interesting, he celebrated the pardon, his dad's pardon of himself.

He celebrated it by watching a movie of himself. Well, what? So this is New York Post. He celebrated this unprecedented pardon from Daddy Joe by watching a movie about himself. Okay. What? It was a private screening of a documentary. Remember the Sugar Brother, Kevin Morris, the guy who facilitated everything by buying his horrible paintings?

So he was the guy who apparently financed this documentary about him. And I guess he was at watching a screener of that the day that the pardon came out. So, and he was very, he was very happy. He's, this apparently sort of said he's had a huge weight was lifted off that he's had to carry since his dad got elected. I mean, his dad wasn't the one making you do all the gross things that you were doing, but okay. I mean, can you imagine being his kids and seeing this stuff about your dad in the press? It's just heinous, heinous. So, yeah, they said, you know, people were attacking me and they were attacking me because of my father.

Or because you were a deadbeat NEPO. I mean, that's kind of like, you know, really what we're looking at, but whatever. So he, I guess that, I don't know if it's ever going to be released. I don't know. So we'll, but yeah, they, that's what he, that's how he spent. So in 2020, Biden was adamant that Hunter's laptop was misinformation, wasn't real, and then recently now has pardoned him for all the crimes listed in the laptop. Yeah, yeah.

So the laptop isn't real, but he got a pardon for all the stuff. that he did in the laptop. So that's... D different. Yeah, it's D different. There you are. That does it for us, at least for that portion. Of course, we're going to watch everything with a penny case, and then this is the Supreme Court as well. Any kind of cabinet changes. We'll have that covered tomorrow.

Make sure you catch us at Substack Chapter and Verse as well. To date in stupidity, Kane. All right, looks like the medical treatment for transgender's conversation was happening with SCOTUS, and Sotomayor had a response. to a question when I was asked how many minors have to have their bodies irreparably harmed for unproven benefits and I don't know about you Dana when I've taken aspirin I don't have irreparable harm but this is what your response is. Can't eliminate the risk of detransitioners so it becomes a pure exercise of of weighing benefits

versus risk and the question of how many minors have to have their bodies irreparably harmed for unproven benefits is one that is best left. I'm sorry, counselor. Every medical treatment has a risk. Even taking aspirin. Oh, my Lord. Just like the transfer. Just like lapping off your shalon.

Same thing, Dana. Just like it. Yeah, it's just like it. That's, you know, you guys didn't know that. All right, that does it for us today. I hope you all have a great rest of your evening.
