It was very tough to know how this money should be used. She was gaslighting the American people. Well, we'll talk to her. Yeah. But when you come to this country, you've got to learn which side of the road to drive on. You've got to learn to stop the stop signs. And you've got to learn not to defraud the American people. Can I just add that one of the reasons why we're having the investigation into whether or not they, there was a lot of money that was filtered towards groups like,

Al-Shabaab, which is, I think, like, one of the main groups that is being discussed in this is because one of the individuals who was involved in the fraud, and I was trying to remember which, because there's three different, three different programs, one of the individuals that's involved with the fraud publicly bragged about it. So can I, can I just make that, that little note there because that's that's one of the that's how we know one because one of them was on social media and apparently had like photos with one of those al-Shabaab or al-Shabaab-esque type leaders and it's one of the reasons why people again started looking into it so when they say things like oh well you know it's you know we have no we have no evidence well or or why can't you produce evidence

Well, they're conducting the investigation into it because that's, you know, by itself is kind of enough, don't you think, to be like, oh, well, huh, seems like this is pretty suss here. The guy was bragging about it openly. And if you're bragging about it openly, it just kind of goes to show that maybe, you know, there might be something to that if you're that confident about your support for it. group. I don't know why that they keep overlooking that aspect of it. We talked about it on the show when we were first bringing all of this up. Welcome to the program.

The radio program, Dana Lash with you, you can watch us do radio. It's not Fox News, so I'm not going to stare into your eyes because they don't have a teleprompter in the camera. I have a giant thing that I have to look at here. The reason I say that is because so many people ask me about that. They're like everyone, all the people on Fox look in the camera. Well, that's

great. They also have the words to repeat in the camera. We're just literally ad lib for three hours and we're going off of the information that we have. So that's why we're different. All right. So you can find the chats over at Rumble, but the podcast at Apple, all that good stuff. So the issue with this and the investigation into it, like I said, is because literally you had these people who are bragging about it. They were openly bragging about it. Oh, yeah, we're funding. That seems to be kind of significant, I would think.

And there's so much money, as I said, this is even, this is more than just about Minnesota. I mean, you have situations in Maine where they're dealing with this massive amounts of fraud. Now, we're looking at a number of other states where we've had these similar programs. And it's, you know, I mean, I think all of this is worth investigating. And instead of questioning why we're investigating, maybe people should ask why all of these taxpayer dollars are going to all of these people who are, some of whom are in the country illegally, and then, yes, being funneled overseas. This is what's insane. So a couple of different quotes. We have Ilan Omar who talked about this.

This is a cut one. And then we got a couple of cuts from her. And, of course, she had to go to Godwin's law. But this is cut one. This was her response to all of this on the Sunday morning talk show circuit. It's completely disgusting. These are Americans that he is calling garbage. And we feel like there is an unhealthy obsession that he has on the Somali community

and an unhealthy and creepy obsession that he has with me. I think it is also really important for us. to remember that this kind of hateful rhetoric and this level of dehumanizing can lead to dangerous actions by people who listen to the president. Hmm. It's not about you. She likes to make it about her. Well, you know, he's obsessed with me.

You're actually obsessed with the administration. What I find creepy is the number of people in the Somali diaspora who have been engaging and taxpayer fraud. That's what I actually find creepy. What I find creepy is the obsessive way that people are focused on stealing taxpayer dollars that we could be using for our own families and then using it for things like that one guy at the restaurant who donated millions of dollars, probably of our stolen money. And I think that she ought to be investigated to see whether or not she's in receipt of defrauded taxpayer dollars because the individual who owned that one restaurant that she had her campaign events at and who endorsed her and gave her a lot of money and she did

numerous appearances at his restaurant. This was one of the individuals who was convicted into this. You know, it was one of those, they tried to run this, quote, non-profit meal sites where they were claiming that during the lockdown they were serving all these meals to children and in fact they weren't and it was over $250 million. And of all of the people who have been charged, only two are not Somali nationals. So you have the feed our future. You have the housing stabilization services fraud. That was about 300 million. So now you're getting, you're getting an idea of where this billion dollars, billion dollars in fraud is coming from. And then you had the autism therapy fraud where you had clinics like smart therapy that were submitting

these fake claims for therapy sessions that literally never happened. And it got to the point where they were saying that one in four Somali kids in Minnesota was autistic. They were autistic. That's how bad it is. And the mass majority, again, everybody who's been either charged or convicted, all but two are Somali nationals. So, yes, it's garbage what that group of people is doing in Minnesota. It's garbage and what that group of people is doing in Maine and some of these others.

So this, and by the way, one of the individuals, who was charged for this, that, yes, is an illegal alien as well. Many of the perpetrators were illegal aliens. Abdul Ibrahim, he's an illegal alien. He'd been previously deported from Canada because he was defrauding with welfare. That's just one of several of them. So this is what she's trying to deflect, and I think it's shameful that she's making excuses for this. This is shameful.

You don't come to this country and start defrauding the people who were born here. and who've paid not just in blood by family legacy, but also with their tax dollars, that's un-American. You know, you don't turn this into the Somali hellhole from which you came. But what's more is she decided to up the ante. Listen to this. She said that this is about assimilation. This is cut five. Listen to what she says. How do you understand this? I mean, when I think about Stephen Miller and his white supremist rhetoric. It reminds me, yes, it reminds me of the way the Nazis described Jewish people in Germany. And, you know, as we know, there have been many immigrants who've tried to come to

the United States, who've turned back, you know, one of them being Jewish immigrants. We know the way that people were described. She says this about Stephen Miller because he's Jewish. That's why she brought up the Nazi thing. Because I think Ellen Omar is a terrorist sympathizer. I absolutely do. I think she should be in jail. I don't think that she should be in office. I think she married her brother to get into the United States. And she married her brother, committed fraud. She already had to settle because she was using her campaign dollars to deal with her divorce to her brother. That's how all of that story came out, if you remember, because there was a federal election campaign violation investigation into the money that she was in receipt of. And so she was being investigated and

and it was discovered that she was paying a divorce attorney with campaign funds, which was illegal, which is why she had to pay a six-figure settlement. She was fined as a result of it because she was guilty. She was guilty of committing fraud, federal election campaign finance fraud. She was guilty of it. So that's one of the reasons why that story came out. But for her to sit here and say, she went after Stephen Miller specifically because he was Jewish. And you know, she's an anti-Semite.

She's a terrorist sympathizing anti-Semite who also defends funneling terrorist money back to groups like al-Shabaab in Africa. So I don't even think that she should be an elected office. I don't think that a foreign-born individual who's been in the country for a heartbeat should be an elected office. Don't think so. I tend to side with the founders and the federalist papers on that if anyone wants to take issue. That being said, she's divisive. She's a racist. She's a bigot. And she's a sharia supporting terrorist sympathizer. I mean, I don't know how else I can put it. I think that she's everything that laws were designed to safeguard against when it comes to people like her in elected office. And so saying things, going to Godwin's law, like, oh, well, that's what the

Nazis used to say. Are you literally trying to compare during World War II Jewish people to fraud instigating Somali diaspora in Minnesota where there are literal convictions of people who are defrauding the American taxpayer to the tune of over a billion dollars? Because that's These people are jokes. And these smugness with which she says this, the smugness. She's talking about assimilation as well. She says that to expect immigrants to adopt American values, that's what seems, that's what reminds her so much of Naziism. That's one of the most historically illiterate things I've ever heard in my life. Kane, that's not how that works. Yeah, not how that works at all. That, but that's, see, that's why. the left hates that term melting pot. They don't want assimilation because they need everyone divided alongside race. The old Marxist tactic was to divide everybody along economic lines. And that doesn't work as much anymore because I think more people have been, I think more, I mean, people when they make money and they get to enjoy the fruits of their own labor, they like that. That's kind

of hard to persuade them to go against it once they've experienced it. And so now the new thing with Marxism, I mean, newish since the 60s, late 60s, 70s, rather, is to divide everybody along along racial lines. And that's what this is. So she's saying, no, no, no, there's no assimilation. There's no, you can't, well, what does she think American values are? That's the thing. This is why I think she's on American. She doesn't even understand what American values are. America is about, do you want to be free? Yes, no. It's pretty simple. So if you're saying that you can't align with American values, what you're doing is you're issuing free. freedom. And that's an anti-American idea. I mean, that's Marxism. You're saying, you're rejecting

freedom. That's the American value is freedom and equality before the constitution and underneath it when the law is violated. So she's completely, she has no concept. She has no understanding of this republic. But she wants to lecture. We're going to talk more about that. Also on deck, because we've got a lot to get you set up with. I don't know if you saw this. We're going to get into this video. This woman who, what was she at? Like a, she was at a restaurant and apparently she was being harassed by a couple and she used a racial slur and others ago fund me. She was being harassed by a Muslim couple who was apparently like mocking her for not wearing a hijab. But there's a lot more to the story than meets the eye. We're going to discuss that. The stupid fight

between, I think POTUS needs to stop punching down with Marjorie Taylor Green. We're going to discuss that. The latest with Islamism. And in California, they canceled a holiday parade because they were terrified. Everyone was going to get rounded up and deported. So we're going to get into all of that and more.

He said the Netflix deal was inferior because that Netflix was the highest bidder for the studio, but now Paramount's like, yeah, I don't think so. Ooh, ooh, because I think all of us were a little worried about that because Netflix touches things and it just, I haven't watched the new stranger things yet. I'm a little nervous about it.

People I really respect who are really just straight, no chaser, or like the nostalgia's gone. And they said that the kids, as they got older, acted worse. Is that weird? I don't know. But I like that chick who plays Millie Polly Brown because she gets a lot of hate and she seems very trad. And she gets a lot of hate for not being a harlot. So I kind of like her as a result of it. National Park Service dropped free admission on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, June teens, while adding Trump's birthday.

I don't care. Out of all the things that I don't care about, this is one of the things that I shockingly don't care about. Okay. And I mean, I think that we pay in taxes for the upkeep of this. So why do I have to pay a fee to go outside somewhere? You know what I'm saying? I mean, because it's the people's park. So why in the ever-loving, you know, blank, are we paying a fee for it?

It's one of my favorites.

It's a clinically studied complex because, see, with a lot of turmeric, I mean, you have absorbed, I mean, people just, you know, usually there's absorption issues depending on what type of turmeric that you use. And that's one of the things that the people behind Superbeats wanted to study is not only enhancing the antioxidant properties of turmeric, but they also want to make sure. sure that the body can use it effectively, which is why they have this complex that's designed to solve this issue with a highly absorbable form. It's turmeric and curcumin and it tastes like an orange citrus flavored chew. It's a really easy way to support your overall wellness. And it's been shown the complex that they use to offer significantly higher absorption than conventional turmeric extract. So it helps your body get more from every serving. And one serving delivers the equivalent antioxidant support of what you typically find in larger amounts of standard

turmeric extract. You can get it right now $5 off at Sam's Club, but the offer ends on December 29th. So you can check out this clinically studied high absorption formula, the turmeric chews.

I think the last time I even physically, like, saw a Cinebon. Is it Cine, am I saying that right, Cinebon? Cinebon, Cinebon, doesn't matter?

I don't know. I think I've always said Cinebun. Sinabon? Even though it is an O-N. It's C-I-N-N-A, B-O-N. Right, O-N at the end. It should be bun. It's Cine-A-Bun, isn't it?

I don't know. Should I be saying it with an accent? I don't know. I just, it's, you know, one of those little mall things. Actually, it was like in the early odds. It was at a mall. I bring this up, welcome back, by the way. I bring this up because there was a milkshake duck incident in Wisconsin over the weekend.

Now, you might be asking yourself, Dana, the hell is this phrase milkshake duck that you said just right before we went to break. And now again, let me tell you. let me tell you the story of it. I'll be very quickly. It's 30 seconds and under. It was a joke that someone said, oh, here's a little duck that loves milkshakes. And it's a little picture of a duck with a milkshake. And then, you know, 15 seconds later, we regret to inform you that the duck is racist, meaning that people, these people are discovered, like the lady in the Chewbacca mask, remember that whole thing? And then the internet does its thing and they try to find some disqualifying event in that person's life as a way to discredit them from receiving public odulation. That's kind of it. I don't know. It's people mad because something good happens to someone and they want to just deuce all over it for the lack of a better way to put it. This is a little different though. So this was in a Cineban and it was a female server and all I know is that the video starts already. The drama is in progress when the video begins, right? It's like when you join a news conference and it's like, oh, we're going to go take this live already in

progress, right? It's very similar to that. So this lady, she is working the Sinaban, right? And these two Somali customers are apparently harassing her. Now, the way that it went, the story goes is that they were harassing her because she wasn't wearing a hijab. She wasn't wearing a, basically dressing like a ghost with a slit for eyes. And they were upset with her. And they went back and forth. And And then she decided to call them a racial slur. She called them the N-word. And it just continued to escalate from that point. I don't even think, can we even play any of this?

Yeah, we have. Okay, Steve spent an ungodly amount of time censoring this for you. So you all better appreciate it because he had to bleep out every, listen. I am racist. So idiot for real. And you are at . You are an idiot. No, I am racist, and I'll say that to the whole entire world. Don't be disrespectful.

You ruin a new life, by the way. Oh, you're talking about respect? You're talking about respect? You are fired from this place, you're not going to be working here. Suck it. Suck it. Suck it. What's wrong with you?

That's the wrong with you. You're fucking. Eglings? Talking about agliness? Did I sit stutter? Oh my gosh. Like, why is this keep happening? I was already bored.

I was already bored. So it's the Cineban employee, and apparently what happened, and it doesn't show that, you know, nobody's in the right here. But there's some, just till for a second, listen to the whole remarks before everybody clenches their butts. First off, I think the Somali couple are trash. I think they're absolute trash. I think it is rat-tastic to walk into a Cinebon with the purpose of starting problems, right? If you don't like the fact that a woman isn't wearing a hijab, then go to a Muslim country where they're wearing a hijab. You know, good grief.

And he was at the very beginning of this exchange, he was sexualizing her with his remarks. And you can kind of hear them in the beginning. He sort of tells on himself in the beginning of the clip because you can kind of hear it. He's sexualizing her with his remarks. And again, all of it is because he feels as though his point is that her not having the head covering and all of that invites sexualization. And so he's telling her that because she disrespectfully doesn't wear a hijab, that that means he is entitled to sexually slur her. So he's a piece of, he's a thug. These, these two, they're absolute thugs. Now, does that

mean when you're at work, does that mean that you can do what she did? I don't think she did herself any favors. First off, you're an employee at work. And this is where I think you've got to draw the line. You are at work and you are wearing the company apron and the company has the right to say we don't think that you should have reacted that way. Now, I don't know if she's the manager or not. The manager should have stepped in. At the very least, I probably would have called the police to come and handle the situation and would have had them permanently barred from the store. I would have called police and said these people are sexually propositioning me. They are harassing me. And I would have you never ever ever want to give the people who are the aggressors the opportunity to turn the tables on you and make themselves look like they're the victims and her behavior her response allowed for that to happen now i don't think that you need to say slurs or whatever i think the company they didn't like the way that she handled it and they have every right to fire her i think it's kind of ridiculous that there's a go fund me that started because again when you're working a job and i've worked many a job where i've had to handle many a rowdy person

I mean, when I was in college, I was a cocktail waitress on Friday and Saturday nights and going through school. And so I've seen, I've seen and I've, you know, I've handled some things. You can't respond to situations like that. It's just not professional. And I don't care if it's a Cineban or where it is, you know, you got a job to do. And so I feel like she, more than anything else, she can't control what the customers do, but she can control what she does. and she can control her reactions. Had she just called the police and handled it that way, I think she would still have her job.

Plus, I also think that somebody probably would have created a go-fund me for her anyway, and she would have been maybe even more awarded for her behavior than this, because she didn't make herself look great, right? Yes, she was the one who started being victimized, but then with her behavior, these two Somalis that are absolute trash, she ended up making them look like. the victims, because then they could say, oh, it's a racial slur. Because apparently, and this is in leftist world, you can sexually proposition a woman. You can even commit battery. But, and that's considered less than. If she were to say something demeaning about, you know,

any kind of, any, with any sort of racial aspect, then immediately that is, that's considered worse. So, I mean, it's, the GoFundMe that they have for her is like $19,000 at this point and everyone said, oh, well, she's a racist employee, blah, blah, blah. But all the people that are spinning it, they're literally forgetting and they're leaving out how the man and the woman were immediately walked in and started it. They immediately walked in and started harassing her. And they started sexually slurring her. But here's what's funny. And I have this on my rundown. This is what's funny. Here's the other reason that I really don't care about this check. And I have this. It's on, it's on our run down here. Cain, what does it, what does this show

you in this link that I have? Oh, she has a Biden Harris sign in her yard. It says women's choices on the ballot, vote Democrat. Her name is Crystal Trees. This is a photo that she has on her own social media of all the Democrat signs in her yard. She has photos of herself on social media wearing Democrat stickers. She is a major Democrat. So I really don't care. I'm not going to donate to some racist Democrats. Go fund me. She's a Democrat. So I like to watch them fight with each other. There you go. She voted, probably voted to bring all the Somalis into Wisconsin. She probably voted for this. So this is what she has. Juan's showing you right now. That's the photo of her own signs in her own yard. And then she bragged another post about how she was a Biden supporter.

and then how she was a Harris supporter because she supported Harris in the last election. So it gets into all of that. It's very funny. So I just don't care. I don't care. She's a Democrat. Are you surprised?

I'm not. I'm not at all. But I think it's, I think it's goof. I don't know. I just think, you know, people need to, you have to behave a certain way at work. There's a certain way that you have to behave at work. And that's just kind of the way it is. I wanted to get into this because this dovetails right into a deed.

crime. This is what I have it labeled as. So a Portland jury says that there was, there was a homeless man who had a 2020 stabbing conviction and a 2021 attempted assault conviction. He admitted that he stabbed this individual. And then apparently after he was stabbed, the individual apparently used a racial slur on him. And as a result, the guy, was acquitted. You can't make this kind of stuff up. You can't make it up. This is insane.

Hennepin County. Here's another one. This is a Department of Justice Hennepin County. This was just, actually this morning is when this posted. There's something else with the sex, there's a sex offender as well, something similar. I keep seeing these stories where criminals after they commit a crime, then the victim says something nasty to them after they been stabbed or assaulted or something and then the judge in the case goes light on the offender because they feel like the offender has been wronged because of the words of the of the

because of the words of the victim I don't know I feel like if you stabbed me I'm going to say a lot of stuff to you cane sort of feels like this is a Portland jury a Portland jury said that the the slur outweighed the knife attack you cannot make this up. You cannot make this up. That's what he was acquitted. This is a New York post piece and it says that this jury in Oregon cleared this guy of assault charges. He stashed a black guy who stabbed a white guy and then after he was stabbed the white guy said a slur. And then the guy who stabbed him was found not guilty of, and this is all on CCTV by the way. Can just gave me the craziest look. I mean, there's images

of it. There's images and there's video of it. It's all a video and they could not they could make a decision on what the video showed. Yeah. They decided that it was mean. Both dudes are homeless and both of them apparently have some criminal

backgrounds. But you have Gary Edwards 43 who was the perpetrator, Gregory Howard 43, who was the victim. And Edwards admitting, he admitted to stabbing him. Now, here's what he said, even though the footage shows apparently that the victim didn't say the slur until after he was stabbed. He said that it was in self-defense because the guy used to slur at him.

Wait, so if someone slurs you, that's not an act of aggression. That's not a, that doesn't, that does not constitute the use of lethal force and response. And that's what he made, that's what he said, even though it was actually false. the victim, it was proven, only said it after he had been stabbed. But the jury didn't care. The jury decided they were going to let this guy walk, even though he legit was seen on video. And the victim, I mean, they exchanged words, but there were no fighting words, you know, like threats of that nature. Oh, my gosh.

This is insane. So apparently what ended up happening is Edwards, who is the perpetrator, he approached the victim because he wanted to trade his knife for cigarettes and he wouldn't leave the guy alone and then and there's a police body camera footage captured uh the use of the slur but it was after he had been stabbed and was on the ground so the there's literal video footage police body camera footage as well that shows he was on he he was he was he was stabbed uh cops rushed over to intervene. And it was only after they were getting him up and they saw his wounds that they heard the slur and it was on the body camera footage. This is insane. This is insane. The

defendant, I mean, this guy, like, stabbed somebody. The perpetrator stabbed somebody. He created the violent situation. He wouldn't leave the guy alone. And he stabbed. He stabbed. him. He was the aggressor. And the jury let him just go. Portland is gone. It's a mess. The folks who help bring you the program, it's the people over at Ammo Square.

Last question. I've been personally, not to make it about me, but I have been criticized as being a tool of Qatar and I just want to say what you already know, which is I never taken anything from your country and don't be. plan to. I am, however, tomorrow buying a place in Qatar, because I am. Pay a high check. In Doha, yeah. And I'm

doing that because I like the city. I think it's beautiful. But also to make the statement that I'm an American and a free man, and I'll be wherever I want to be. I mean, I think it's such a crazy flex. You know, you're so America first that you're just going to buy dune front property in

Doha, just to prove that you're just so American. I'm so American. I'm going to buy communist control property in China because I can so I'm my own man American. Welcome back to the program Dana Lash with you. That was

Carlson, I'm sorry, verbal typo. Tucker Carlson in Qatar. They had something there I don't know. And he was out there talking to their leader there and saying that he's, you know, he's a free American and because he's a free American

he's going to show that he's a free American by buying property in Qatar and Doha. Dune Front property in a country that's 90% populated by slave labor because of

their laws. I don't know if you get, you know they have like a whole system, right, where it's basically indentured servitude. I wrote about it over at Substack. That's why it's very important to make sure you sign up for that stuff because, you know, you get all of this information over there. It's also in one of my recent columns for the Washington Examiner.

Or sorry, Washington Times. I have a piece of in the Washington Times that late last week that ran and it gets into all of that because it's I just think that's a really weird flex. You know what I mean? That's a weird flex to just go and I'm so American. Look how American I am. I'm going to buy property and cut her in Doha. I'm going to buy property here. I mean, okay, that's an interesting flex. I mean, one day you're rasseling demons in bed and the next day you're buying sandfront property in cutter you know i don't know just uh curious about all of that you know also i'm curious about too uh cane where where does one go to church over in cutter oh good question hmm you know crisis king and all so where do you go

to church and cutter they're they actually the churches are all they have to stay outside of doha There's, and they can't actually, I mean, the fines are pretty big if you try to proselytize. Just got to say, you can't have Christian symbols near Muslims. You can't do anything like that. You can't try to convert a Muslim there. I mean, you could be put to death in Qatar if you try that, by the way. You can't share your faith or any of your faith's materials with any Muslims in Qatar. and that includes casual discussions.

And that's, you could be in prison for up to five years, by the way. You cannot organize anything. You cannot promote Christianity. You can't proselytize at all because you could go to jail for a decade. So I'm just wondering, you know, Christ is king. Where do you go to church over there? You also are not allowed to enter into a civil marriage. Yeah, you can't get married over there.

You can't even be a citizen in Qatar. You can't even get, because you have to be a Muslim to be. a citizen in Qatar. So, you know, I'm just like, I'm just really curious about this. How just, you know, I'm wondering. And I talked about this in my piece. We were talking about all of the influencers that went over there during Thanksgiving. And I wrote, hopefully if any of them were gay, they kept it a secret because it's gay to, it's illegal to be gay over there. One of them was gay, sitting down the balcony. I guess maybe he had to keep that a secret so he didn't get thrown off the balcony that he was doing a selfie on.

I'm just curious, but it's very heavily restricted. In fact, they only have a few, what they call religious, they call them religious complexes because they can't even say church. They can't even say church. They can't say like, you know, they can't even say Christian complex. It's just a religious complex is what they call it. And they are partitioned off way outside of Doha to be away from all of the Muslim citizenry. and they can't identify.

They can't put up a cross. They can't say anything. And you can only be a Christian quietly inside of the building. Far away from the citizenry. That's it. That's it. And you can't criticize any of the policies there. Like, for instance, you can't talk about how actually the majority population in Doha is the slave labor that they used to build it.

That's a fact. That's, and if you criticize it, you're going to be punished. That's, you can't do that. It's the Khafala employment system. And if you criticize anything, like if you were to criticize the Khafala employment system while you're over there, you're going to be punished under penal code, penal code article 259. And that's punishment for anybody who opposes questions or doubts Islamic tenants of the way that they were in the country. And if you criticize it online, then that's a cyber, that violates their cybercrime statute, law number 14. passed, finalized in 2014, that's online content that challenges any of the social values

or norms that they have over there. Only Muslims can be Qatari citizens, et cetera. And there's no alcohol over there. They had some at F1, but it's only in, there's like a couple of very specially licensed hospitality venues of which the influencers were made sure that they took selfies of themselves in there. So I'm just, you know, just going to say. So it's just so interesting to me you're going to flex so hard about being America first by buying property like Hamas does you know Hamas leaders they stay in Doha just doing I guess you know what Hamas leaders do they started a trend I guess they started a trend get that but it's um I think that the criticism got to him I think that he's I would talk to him about it but he won't come on my program to

discuss it with me because I guess it's not a safe space here so um I, you know, just that, you know, I just thought it was interesting. But, yeah, that's, I don't know if that, does that prove that you're more American than somebody else because you can go buy property and cutter? Like, why wouldn't you buy more property in the United States, right, if you wanted to prove how American you were? By the way, criticizing someone's speech is not denying your Americanness. In fact, that is the most American thing that you can do.

if someone says something with which you disagree, you can verbally disagree. That's pretty American. And I feel like that's getting lost in all of this as well. It seems as though he's bristling at just mere criticism. And he thinks that it's un-American to criticize him, but not un-American for the rewriting of history that he promotes. The rewriting of American history or the rewriting of the history of Israel, the rewriting of not just American history, but World War II, etc. It's just very, you know, it's very fascinating to me. I see, you know, I saw there was another softball interview with that Fuentes kid. Kid, he's like in his 20s, but he's like five foot two. So when we say Nazi twink, it's like actually literally he's fairy sized. But there was another, somebody else did a super softball interview. Why are people so afraid to push back? Because his engagement is entirely fabricated.

it's all synthetic. There have been two deep dives. First, Dada Republican did a huge deep dive on the Fuentes audience. Data Republican did. And then there was another separate deep dive into his background and his engagement and et cetera. And it shows that it's all literally fabricated. Every aspect of it is fabricated. And it's a lot of foreign based accounts that try to, amplify the stuff that he says. There was Network Contagion Research Institute that released a forensic breakdown over his rise over the past year. And it was driven by synthetic amplification, foreign engagement clusters, and coordinated raid behavior. And it's pretty wild. And that's from Dada Republican. There was another one that came out showing that his visibility is a coordinated illusion. It's not grassroots. And it was driven by synchronized amplification networks, anonymous booster accounts, foreign engagement farms in a media ecosystem that mistakes manufactured noise for genuine political momentum. And it manipulated X's algorithms for him

to massively outperform like all of these other individuals. So it's, I mean, it really, it can be absolutely manipulated. A lot of the stuff that you see on social media, That's why certain people, they'll have like major, they'll have huge audiences, but they don't ever amount to anything in meat space, right? Like when Fuentes says he was going to, when he was campaigning against Trump in 2020 and in this last election and he said that in 2020 was, he said he was going to go to Wisconsin or something like that and campaign against him, nothing that he ever does actually moves the needle in real space because he, everything is, is, all of his engagement is mainly online. Now, that's not to say, and I'm going to be very careful, don't ignore the disaffected adult males, younger adult males, who I think fall into this self-victimization cycle because where you come from doesn't direct where you're going. And I think that is some of it, but his amplification has been like pretty much entirely synthetic. It's pretty, and I would be curious as to see some of Tucker Carlson stuff as well, especially when he was, you know, praising. well, at least the trains run on time in Russia and all of this stuff when he was over there praising

or when he sat down with Vladimir Putin and he didn't really push back at all. And I think he was actually kind of embarrassed by the questioning. That wasn't an interview. That was you just went over there to hold a microphone for someone. There was no genuine pushback. There was no engagement. I always question these people who talk such a tough game, but then when they sit in front of someone that they need to ask hard questions of, they crumple. They don't actually push back. they don't actually ask the hard questions. Like, I've seen three different, every interview that I've ever seen, the Fuentes guy, literally no one had the balls to actually ask hard questions and push back.

Not a single one. And a lot of the people that engage in these interviews, they really do pretend that they're such hard asses. And not a single one of them had the courage or the spine or the nads to actually ask the hard questions and push back. And, like, show what a fruit this dude is. I mean, literally. So, I don't know.

There's a lot of stuff that's super, super inauthentic in social media. And his ascension, I guess, for the lack of a better way to say it, is one of them. Now, also, one of the other things that we're looking at is this Henry Quayar story. I don't know. Oh, my gosh. So Henry Quayar got a pardon from POTUS. And I was thinking about this at the time. I'm like, what happens if he decides to run back to his party?

because this is a seat that Republicans would like to get. And look, Quayar did that exact thing. He ran back to his party, the party that actually they were persecuting him because he disagreed with him on immigration and actually defended Trump on immigration. And now Trump and Quayar are fighting. Trump accused him of showing a, quote, lack of loyalty and said there would, quote, be no more Mr. nice guy when it comes to pardons. I wouldn't have pardoned him.

not everything is a witch hunt i remember i said this when it happened not everything is a witch hunt there's a reason why he had charges and it's not because it was a witch hunt so this is what happens when the scorpion's like i'm a scorpion what did you expect is anybody really surprised over that this is where i'm like oh why are we like why are we thinking that this guy has a good character why are we pardoning this guy remember he accepted half a million dollars and bribes from this Balkan energy company, and then in a Mexican bank in exchange for political favors. That's what he was charged with. He was charged with bribery, conspiracy to commit bribery, money laundering, conspiracy to

commit honest services, wire fraud, acting as an unregistered foreign agent, and that's accepting those bribes that I was mentioning him and his wife were both charged. And now right after the pardon, he said he's going to run for re-election. Now, that's the seat that Republicans could have made a play for. Now they can't because of this, because he was pardoned. So now it's all messed up. The folks who help bring you the program, it's the people, our friends over at Burn a gun,

burn a gun shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. And with Burn a gun, they don't care about gun-free zone signs. There's no gun-free zones. They're inapplicable. There's no background checks. There's no permits.

It can be sent right to your door. Now, I always carry, I have no problem using lethal force. But as I've said a million times, I also understand that there are local and private property and municipal restrictions that may disarm someone and make it to where you can't carry and protect yourself. So you want to make sure that you have a diversified weapons array. You carry knives just like you carry different calibers. The burn a gun is no different. And there's different models, but honestly, what's the point of it if you're looking for something that's going to be concealable and that you're looking to protect yourself when you can't carry your concealed handgun?

And this is where the CL comes in. That's a compact launcher. This seems like arguably the size of a cell phone. Everything made in the USA. And it's, again, no recoil, super easy target acquisition. And when you consider stun guns compared to a stun gun, that's like maybe one or two rounds in a stun gun, with the Burna CL, you have a 15 round shot capacity per cartridge.

Okay, so first up, I'm going to pull this one up. Why don't I have this up yet? So this is Florida's. They measured the first full year of Florida's in school cell phone ban.

And so they said that student test scores, since they ban phones from the classroom, they went up as much as 10% above a standard deviation, 10% increase. It's pretty interesting. Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Very short amount of time. also what is this

okay so this is Kane's contribution here lantern fly honey Kane it's not ordinary honey they say it's it's a weird

oh boy they said beekeepers don't really want you to know what it is because it would be a stain on the American honey industry but they say that the flavor varies it's smoky, savory, salty, resinous and lightly fruity, but it's bee duty, isn't it? It's lanternfly duty, yeah. Oh, it's not

from bees? Well, the bees eat it and it ends up in the honey. Yeah. Ew. Why do we have lantern flies? That's what God intended. That sounds nasty. I mean, it is. I like honey, but when you think of it, it's gross.

It's bee vomit. And then they make these little things. It has health benefits. Yeah, yeah, I know. I mean, I just don't like thinking about it. Like when I eat shrimp, I really don't want to think about it being bug meat, but it's bug meat. You know, there's certain things you're like, I don't think so. I don't know about that one. Let's see, a Christmas parade is canceled in California. We're going to talk more about this because people are afraid ice will show up. So really what I just read is the city is saving people

Wasn't it? Wasn't an Alaskan quake? Yeah. It was a 7.0 Yukon territory. They're monitoring for any kind of tsunami for Japan. And they said that they've noticed like the waves are starting. They're noticing some stuff now, but it was 10 kilometers deep.

The aftershocks were about 5.6, but it was a seven on the scale. It was a pretty serious, this is a pretty big earthquake. So, oh, goodness. And then, of course, the aftershocks. after.

Chapter and Verse Substack. the newsletter, Facebook, YouTube, like and subscribe, the podcast as well over at Apple. I love this time of year. I love the Christmas season. But there's something that comes along with the Christmas season that aggravates me a little bit, a little lot, a lot a bit, actually. And it is, I don't know when this started, but I've just noticed it in recent years that during Christmas season, there's always this discussion about Jesus being a refugee. Jesus is a refugee. Jesus is an immigrant. How many of you hear that? The church that we formally went to, our pastor once said that. Our former pastor once said that. Like, oh, he was an immigrant.

Jesus was an immigrant. That was one of the, you know, I said death by 1,000 paper cuts. By the way, we may have found a new church. Anyway, that's another topic. But I always get aggravated because, you know, during this, you know, Christmas season, we always hear, well, Jesus was a refugee, he was an immigrant. And as though that's supposed to be the end of debate on immigration and refugee status and the asylee process, et cetera. And it is so biblically inaccurate and illiterate and historically illiterate and inaccurate. It is so wrong. first off, any pastor that says this to you needs to turn in their shepherdship. They really should.

They need to step down from their position because I just think it's demonic to say things that are untrue. And it is untrue. First off, let's just start with the most basic thing. Jesus never broke immigration law. There was no immigration law that Jesus broke. He couldn't have, he nor Mary nor Joseph could have broken an immigration law. law because they didn't immigrate. They weren't even refugees. I feel like people don't understand the size of the Roman world during the time of Jesus. The entire Mediterranean was part of the

Roman world. The entire Mediterranean going from the Strait of Gibraltar going all the way to Judea, which is now where Israel and Gaza are. The entire width of the Mediterranean, even going up around the Black Sea, was all part of the Roman Empire. And this included going from Judea, south into the Sinai Peninsula, and then crossing over into Egypt, all that huge section of northern Africa was all part of the Roman Empire. Egypt was part of the Roman Empire. Jesus never left the Roman Empire. And further, I feel like people also miss Luke 2, 1 through 5, when the scripture notes that Jesus's family legally registered themselves. They didn't just even cross over into a different territory. They legally,

registered themselves. According to the Roman census decree by Caesar Augustus, everyone returned to their ancestral towns, along with Joseph and Mary, from Nazareth to Bethlehem, to be registered in the city of David, fulfilling the prophecy of Jesus' birth in Bethlehem. And, you know, I feel like maybe we should just touch on Romans. where Jesus spoke about the importance of adhering to law. He was not a refugee. They did not immigrate. So I feel like right off the, right off the bat, you got to start the Christmas season by correcting a lot of very, very bad, revised doctrine that's out there. Because I hear this over and over again. And it's always left us who have no idea what the Bible states, right? They have no

clue. They have no idea what's in scripture. I mean, you're you're accusing Joseph and Mary violating law and they didn't. And scriptures are very clear about this. I mean, and it gets into the decree. In those days, the decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered and all went to be registered each to his own town. Joseph went up from Galilee from the town of Nazareth to Judea to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem. Because he was of David's lineage. He was the house of David. And he went with Mary to be registered thus fulfilling prophecy. So the people who rewrite this are trying to deny the prophecy as well in Old Testament from being fulfilled by Jesus' birth in New Testament. That is what I think is

demonic. If you want to talk about heresy, promoting this is actually heresy. That's blasphemous. So let's just correct all of the bad revisionism that's been happening to promote the violation of law for the sake of illegal immigration. It's so aggravated by this. And we hear it all the time, can, don't we? And when did that start? When was that, when did that narrative start even? I only really started like really seeing the pattern of it in the past like a handful of years. I've seen it from

before when Obama's last term, all of that type of stuff. So I know it had to be somewhere around 2012 2014 somewhere in that range. So yeah, this was, the Roman Empire at the time was huge. I mean it went all the way up into Britain

stopping at Hadrian's wall. Went all the way down into southern Egypt. It went from Mauritania all the way. I mean, you were looking at Libya. What is modern day Libya now? You were looking at going into Judea. It went up to Mesopotamia.

I mean, it was ever, Turkey, modern day Turkey was all Roman, it was all the Roman Empire. Going into Romania and all the countries around the Black Sea. The Balkans. So this idea that there was that it was any kind of refugee status or that there was any immigration, is just historical it's embarrassing historical illiteracy it is now in addition to this can we talk about this parade speaking of which this parade that was canceled in a california coastal town they were worried that ice was going to show up well if people came here legally it wouldn't be an issue they cancel this parade that's held in santa barbara i tell you when i was at the one time i was

in santa barbara i was there i went up to rancho del sielo which was regan's ranch up up in the San Anas Mountains, beautiful. I've never seen so many homeless people in my life. Beautiful Santa Barbara. We were in this really beautiful hotel. It was like this old boutique kind of hotel, and it was right there right on the road, seaside. And you could look out to the beach,

and you could see the ocean, and you could see the mass of homeless people. It was like, there were so many homeless that looked like a festival on the beach. So many homeless, encampments, people, they would set up games on the side of the boardwalk and you would play the games for some money that's how they would earn money. There were so many homeless that were,

I've never seen so many homeless in my whole life as I saw the number in Santa Barbara. It was unreal. It was like they were having a festival of homelessness. I don't know how else to put it. Like they were having a big annual meeting or something. I don't know. But they were going to have this parade there,

this Christmas parade, decided to cancel it. It was scheduled for December 13th, but now they said that they're worried about potential immigration raids. Why? Why would you be worried about a raid at a Christmas event? Hmm. It's the Santa Barbara Eastside Society Board and their president, Sebastian Aldana, Jr. And then their Milpa Street holiday parade director, they announced the decision to cancel the event. They said with heavy hearts and profound respect for our neighbors, we made a very difficult decision. We're not going to have the parade this year, and they are blaming the ice raids. They also canceled the Dia de los Mothers parade, and that had like, I think, like, every November, they have like 10,000 people that come downtown for that.

They cancel that because of ice raids. Then you have an illegal immigration problem. If you're worried about ice raids and you can't even have a Christmas event because you're so worried about ice raids, then it sounds like you have an illegal immigration problem that maybe you should remedy or at least pay attention to. You can't just cancel events. That's, I mean, good night. What does that say that they're so worried? Are they afraid half the town's going to get round up? I mean, honestly. All right. I wanted to talk about the story. story. I wanted to come back to this. The World Cup pride match in Seattle. Egypt and Iran are in it. How long was this set, by the way? They have their pride match and they said that they were going to be celebrating the alphabet pride month at the FIFA World Cup match. Now it's apparently going to continue. Remind me, what do they do to gay people in Iran? they toss them off of buildings and hang them from cranes oh that's right yeah uh they don't really live long they're going to do how is that going to work it's egypt and iran now egypt's laws are not as strict as irons on homosexuality but they still have them there it's a criminal offense but how do you have the alphabet pride month for that world cup match when you have egypt and iran that are

are featured. How does that work? It doesn't make, I don't know. That's, um, they were going, they've been preparing to stage a historic pride match on June 26th. It's the Friday of pride weekend, prides ascend by the way. And the themed fixture was going to be the first of its kind at the World Cup. And now a lot of people are, say that it's kind of awkward that the pride match is going to be Egypt and Iran, are those teams going to object? I can't imagine either of those teams playing in this match if that's the theme for the match, right? Wouldn't that be? And why do you have to have an alphabet, like theme for soccer? You have to have a sexual theme like, this is how we do it. You have to have that kind of theme for a World Cup match.

What in the world? That doesn't make any sense. Not everything has to be laced with sex, people. Not everything has to be celebrating how you do it. It's just, I think that's like weird to be so obsessed with your bedroom proclivities that you have to make everything in the world affirm it. Like branding. That's weird to me. I don't see this.

Do you think this is going to get canceled? Are they going to change this? Do you think they'll change this, Kane? I'm not really sure. This is a good question. I mean, these are people who, like, won't play Jewish people or they won't play gays and any other things. So, like, why would they be at this? I don't, I don't get it.

Do you think that they're going to change it? I know he religiously follows. He says they probably won't. Wow, really? That's interesting. Maybe I'm, we'll see. It is the folks at Caltech, Florida-based company, the KS7 Gen 2 shotgun. If you're familiar with it, it's a pump-action shotgun made by Keltec.

a family-owned company. All the original KF7 advantages are there. It's super ultra-lightweight. It weighs just under seven pounds unloaded. And you also, as well, have all of the, you know, the maneuverability and tight spaces. It's a compact bullpup design. So you have ambidextrous, downward shell ejection, seven plus one capacity. You also, that gen two, the upgrade, you have a five slot picatinny style rail accessory rail underneath. You can add grips. You can add light. You can keep it flush and sleek with a cap as well. And it's a smoother pump action, too. So you have that for faster, cleaner, cycling.

Plus, you have the enhanced durability. And MSRP makes it super affordable. 639. That's the MSRP. It's from Keltec Made in America family owned. KELTECWeapons.com. It's the KS7 Gen 2. KeltecWeapons.com.

Tell them Dana sent you. In life, you've around 29,000 days. And those days can be full of what ifs. Like, what if it doesn't work? But what if it does? What if you really went after it? Because life is measured in those moments. So go after everyone.

Talk to AIB today and let's see how we can turn your what ifs into what's next. AIB for the life you're after. Allad Irish Bank's PLC is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland. Someone has a seizure. I wouldn't know what to do when someone has a seizure. When somebody has a seizure, it all becomes clearer when you know what to do. Time the seizure. If it's over five minutes, call an ambulance. Keep the area around the person safe. Stay with them after the seizure passes.

Time, safe, stay means you can make a real difference. Be clear on how you can help. Visit epilepsy.i.i and learn more about time, safe, stay. Funded and sponsored by UCB Pharma. It's time for Florida man. So, uh, let's see here. We're going to start with because we got, I feel like, I feel like Florida man's been kind of quiet. So we've got one Florida arrested. He said he had a dirty bomb in his truck following a crash.

He looks like a dirty bomb himself. Good night. This guy's 43 years old. Yeah, he looks like if you pulled hair out of the shower drain. you know, when you're cleaning your bathroom. That's what he looks like. Look at him. He looks like that.

Haines City. They said they were responding to a public's late Friday evening. There was a Chevy Silverado involved in a crash. And according to the release, officers made contact with the driver. 43-year-old Benjamin Johnson. He refused commands to exit the vehicle. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. He said that he had a dirty bomb inside his truck.

Too long, didn't read. No, he didn't. Moving on. He didn't, but he just, he said he didn't. They got to take, when people say that, they have to take all these precautions too. It's like, oh, now we got to shut down the whole city block. We got to bring in the bomb squad, all of it. Let's see.

I don't want that one, but I do want this one. A Florida man is accused of choking a victim with an umbrella in a Home Depot fight. Oh my gosh, a 66-year-old facing off against a 54-year-old. Rodriguez, 66, is accused of choking a 54-year-old man with an umbrella at a Home Depot. According to Monroe County Sheriff's Office, victim told deputies that Rodriguez hit him with his truck as he exited the store. That seems like that was on purpose. I mean, how, and it led to a verbal dispute. So he said that he had pushed a shopping cart.

The report states the victim told deputies he pushed a shopping cart to Rodriguez's truck. Investigators say the confrontation continued. inside the store. Then Rodriguez grabbed an umbrella upon entering the store used to perform a rear naked choke on the victim, preventing him temporarily from breathing. And Home Depot staff had to intervene and separate them. And then Rodriguez left the store and went to return to his construction site. And he was arrested on charge of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. So he got in trouble for that. All of that, and he got in trouble for it. Yeah, I don't want to talk. Golly.

This is a Villages. I got a Villages story for a villager. The Villages. It's like Minecraft. A villager got caught with drugs in his prison wallet. I don't know how else to say it. The son of a couple in the villages was sentenced to 180 days behind bars for, uh, yeah

Kane he had drugs in a baggie in his bum and I guess he didn't think that the deputies at Sumter County Detention Center where he was booked would find it they weren't going to notice

they weren't going to notice apparently but guess what they did so they do because they did a body scan and I guess this guy didn't anticipate that there was going to be a body scan I'm trying to figure out, like, the most nice way I can talk about this story. So they detected a foreign object in his lower abdomen, according to the rest report. And then when they did a strip search, they noticed, oh, well, you know, it's not visible.

So that means we got to go in. And that's when this is so gross. I'm not even. I can't believe you chose that one over the drunk. I can't read anymore. Basically, they were able to get the contraband, and then he now has additional charges. because you can't bring controlled substances into prison. And it's so gross.

They did not need to go into the level of detail that they did. He birthed three packages in his jail cell. And apparently the cellmate was, like, horrified. So there you go. We have our third hour on the way. There's no coming back from this one. Stick with us. Well, I like it here, a lot.

Yeah, I like it. You have been... By the way, I'm an American. I can go wherever I want and speak to anyone I want to because I'm a free man. That's the promise of my country. And some are seeking to change that and to put our population into mental bondage.

And I'm not participating in that. And when you've questioned APAC and you've questioned things, are you facing a consequence and a backlash that now day to day? I have a right to say what I think. I'm an American citizen. Okay. I had to bring, I had to play this.

Obviously, that's Tucker Carlson who was in Qatar. He said he's bragging about now. He's buying property in Doha and all that, like Hamas. like on this event that he went to. First off, I think this is just ridiculous. And I think the talking points have gone out because everybody's saying, well, we're free Americans.

And that's why we can go to Qatar and criticize our country while we're in Qatar. Okay. And that, you know, some people are seeking to change that. You know, we're free Americans. We can, who, who? Who is this? Who are these people, these mysterious shadow people?

people that are trying to prevent you from doing what you do every day without consequence saying whatever the hell you want to say no literally nobody i mean that's it's like the meme no one and then tucker carlson someone's trying to silence it no one's trying to silence you i've never met anybody who's made so much money from not being silenced you know what i'm saying so it doesn't make any sense to me on that so that's number one uh then number two a there's no retribution from A-PAC. I feel like a lot of people don't understand what the A and A-PAC means. Right? I think they don't know. I kind of feel like they don't know. What was that? Cain, a little louder for the people in the back. American? American. That's right.

And it's a domestic group. And they only deal with American. Okay. I mean, I've compared, and we've talked about this. I've tweeted about it relentlessly because I just cannot stand the misrepresentation of it all. all. It's so goofy to me. But this idea that someone is seeking to change it. What I'm hearing from Tucker is that if you criticize him, you're trying to stop his free speech. That's what it sounds like. It sounds like someone wants the privilege of being able to say whatever they want, but no one else can say anything in response. No one else can disagree. No one can correct. No one can criticized. There can be no dissent. And I dare say I have seen more real people, not just like

these shadowy figures that I'm just using without actually any specificity that have been trying to change that and stop that than the other way around. Very interesting. I know that whenever I have criticized people for sandwashing cutter, oh boy, the bots come out. It's fascinating. But this idea that, well, people are trying to, some people are trying to change that. I'm a free person. You can try to flex as hard as you want to by going and buying property in Doha, doing whatever. People can criticize it. You know, we're also free Americans. And it's the promise of our country that we can criticize bad ideas. We can publicly disagree. And we can speak to that effect. We don't need permission from him or anybody else to do so. We're also free Americans. And we can use our free

speech to voice dissent against what we view as bad ideas and what we know and have been determined by history to be bad ideas. But that being said, I just found I'm just so tired of this. It's like when the left screams racism over everything. Now you have the woke right that's like, I'm being, oh, they're trying to cancel my speech because they simply disagreed with you. Isn't that you trying to cancel them in reverse? Because you're claiming that they're mere dissent, which is an exercise of free speech, not unlike your own, that because they disagree with you, that that's grounds to cancel them, or that's grounds to discredit them because you claiming that they're a part of some sort of like shadowy cancellation culture? What in the world is this? This is so

asinine. This is some backwards, illiberal stuff. But there it is. So I don't know. I'm just so tired of hearing about all of this. I do think that the, I think the pushback on all of this has been pretty expansive, extensive, and deserved. And now I think everybody's starting to see the grift is up. I had people, I had somebody asked me, like, well, what do you think about all of this? Like, at an event over the weekend, like, what do you? And I'm just, I don't care, I don't care about going to nicotine patched Christmas parties. I don't care about going and kissing the ass of people whose opinions I respect or just

don't respect at all or respect less than, or would consider less than my own. I don't care about any of this stuff. So I don't need to police my speech. I don't care about butt kissing and getting a slice of the digital pie like some of these other people out there that are trying to start networks or do whatever. I don't care about any of that stuff. Sometimes people are wrong and sometimes people are right. And if people disagree with you, they're not trying to cancel you. The mere existence of a dissenting viewpoint is not cancellation.

And I know that that's with the woke rike, what they're trying to redefine cancellation as. want to immediately discredit any disagreement by claiming that it is an attempt to cancel or get rid of their viewpoint or in their ability to speak freely. And that's literally nobody's doing that. That's so damn stupid. It kills brain cells without the benefit of alcohol going along with it. Nobody is doing that. I mean, imagine. I, you know, never meet your heroes, I guess. I don't know none of these people are my heroes so i don't know but just it's just odd the whole thing is odd but i'm just i'm i'm i'm tired of seeing it so we had a i mean go and flex in doha that's fine i mean i don't think i don't really i mean doesn't really bother our what we're doing over here

does it no does not and then this um i also think too going back to well you know are you worried about apac no one's worried about apac good night literally nobody's worried about apac And what gets me is all these people who want to act like they're also being targeted. I think that the woke rike has this obsession with. They have an obsession and they want to elevate themselves up in the same league, I guess, as Kirk. And now they're acting like their lives are all in danger because they're criticizing APEC. Nobody cares. Oh, my gosh, nobody cares.

But when you're wrong about history, people will correct you. when you say something asinine, you just might find the presence of another opinion that disagrees with you. That's not cancellation. They have every free speech right as a promise by their country as well. Anyway, I don't know. It's the way it is. A few other things. We're going to be talking with our friend Stephen Yates here coming up, a number of things to ask him, get into it with him. I wanted to touch on, let me pull this up. His Islamism. We've been talking about the Christmas markets last week. We were talking a little bit about it when Ilan Omar said that people who, what did she say? She said that expecting to come over here and assimilating into the United States. Well, that's Nazism. Can we play that again really quickly? Actually, you know what? Let's play this and then I'm going to call for three. Yeah, this is cut five. Go ahead and play cut five. I'm going to stop it early. And then we're going to play cut three. How do you understand this?

I mean, when I think about Stephen Miller and his white supremacist rhetoric, it reminds me, yes, it reminds me of the way the Nazis described Jewish people in Germany. And, you know, as we know, there's been... He was talking specifically about assimilation. That's what his tweet that we showed you. That's what it was about. She's denouncing assimilation because it's about invasion and conquering. That's not about. assimilation. And then she says this, cut three. Now she's someone who's foreignborn, who hasn't been in the U.S. for as long, has been working with people part of a diaspora that's been defrauding hardworking taxpaying Americans out of over a billion dollars. Now she wants to lecture you about the founders. Listen. This is certainly not what the founding fathers of the American

dream were thinking about when they said, you know, that when they set out to write the Constitution. What? It wasn't about immigration. It wasn't, she doesn't think that that's what they meant when it can. I really don't think that she understands what she's talking about. She says that she, and she's, she's discussing the issue of the Somali immigration and the issue in Minnesota now

in Maine and some of these others as well. She's trying to lecture on immigration and, I guess, assimilation into the American culture. So I don't know. In fact, they were crystal clear on all of this. You know, in the federalist papers, they were discussing when people came over to the United States legally, and that's all well and good. However, the issue of them serving in public office was not one that they were going to entertain until after a certain number of years that the individuals have been here in the United States so that they could make sure that they understood the country, the republic, the customs, the people, so that they weren't just trying to blindly reach for power and they understood the republic that they claimed that they cared enough about to go and represent them in an elected. position. So, yes, this is exactly what the founders. She wouldn't have liked what the founders. Definitely a lot more strict than you would see from Republicans. That's for sure. Hell of a lot more

strict than you would see from Democrats. So, yeah, I don't believe you on that. I don't believe her on that at all. Then you have this. This is cut seven. This is an immigrant who, I guess, I don't know, listen to this and you'd make your own determination. My biggest fear in life is that this man may never witness our full takeover. Yes, he may never witness that. Neither will you. He already witnessed our partial takeover, our little success in America. And he's the reason, actually, I know that the community in America is thriving.

He is how I know. It's like... Okay, I'm already bored. So, you know what? This guy's not going to see. What does he mean? a takeover. He's talking about, I guess, Somali diaspora. This is not

what people who want to come and join our Republic and the American framework. This is not what people say when they want to come and join the Republican be a part of the American family. This is what they say when they want to conquer you and invade. There's a big difference here.

This guy's talking about invasion. He's not talking about assimilation. He's talking about invasion. And I hate to say it, but dude, you're not going to see a takeover either because it's never going to happen. Never going to happen. That's hostile to say, well, we're just going to take everything. This is about assimilating into a country that values freedom. That's all. I mean, heaven forbid, America had the audacity to say, well, if you want to come and join our republic, do you like being free? Do you

want to be free? That is the defining characteristic that unites everybody. You assimilate to that. We're not changing our positions for you. You assimilate to our culture. So anything less is un-American. Anything less is colonizing. Anything less is invasion. Anything less isn't assimilation. And assimilation and recognition of that tenant of this society is one of the reasons why the society has been able to function for over 200 years. Absent that, and you no longer have a functional society, you no longer have a sincere society that's operating on those Republican tenants. And it ceases to be the United States of America. That's why this stuff is red flag worthy. But I also think, man, you have some beans to come over to the United States and try

to lecture us about what we're doing and the laws that we're passing and our elected officials. No, no, no. It's colonizing. And it's done so with entitlement. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Okay, so first up, this guy, well, this is not how this works. When you go to a bank, what do you deposit in a bank? You deposit money, right? Not meth. This guy from Ohio tried to deposit meth into the bank's drive-thru,

and their little pneumatic tube system thingy. according to law enforcement 46 dude drugs and evil make you old looking jason smith was booked on drug related charges it occurred earlier this month he uh the bank employee called deputies to say someone

just deposited a crystal like substance kind of looks like meth they sent a baggie up the shoot not unlike the guy who was in our florida man headline just yeah baggy up the shoot and they tested it on site and they determined it was in fact methamphetamine

he apparently sent the package how do you mess up and send the wrong thing in the shoot I am fascinated by how that accident happens are you so high that you don't know the difference between cash checks and meth who does that

this is so weird so he's in Monroe County jail he's in he's in super big time trouble, so just power outages cause cell doors to open at the South Central Correctional Center. How is that the default setting for when the power goes out, that the prison doors open?

I thought that was only like in movies, but apparently that's a real thing. Kane? I don't get it. I don't get it. The default should be closed. Yeah. You would think. It's the South Central Correctional Center. They had a power outage in two of the housing wings and

all the doors opened. It caused all the doors to open. And this was in Lick and Mazara, Kane. They, and then shockingly, some of the inmates refused to return to their cells and cause property damage. So, just feels like if the power goes out, the door should stay closed, I think. Yeah. So, I don't know. A man was accused of stalking a minor and throwing Molotov cocktails in somebody's house. Oh, this is a hot mess. This is a Fox 2, Detroit. Let's see. Nah, ah, oh gosh, he's got one of the of those haircuts where they put the bowl on the head and they just do the bangs right around the right around the front he's got one of those 90s haircuts right those wannabe vanilla ice

haircuts that's what he's got 25 year old alex newmar was charged uh with the uh molotov cocktail possessing manufacturing etc we have uh stephen yates he's going to be joining us next stay with us the dana show podcast your fast funny and informative news companion for those always on the move Subscribe on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you. We are at the bottom of this third hour. Joining us now, our very good friend. We see him usually on Mondays when he's not traveling around the world making a difference.

Steve Yates, that's his new X handle because people were freaking out. I had accidentally said his old Twitter handle and everybody was, well, somebody took it. The Chinese finally got him off X. That's apparently what the prevailing thought was. he changed it. So it's just at Steve Yates now. Senior Research Fellow at the Heritage Foundation, he joins us now. It's good. You're fine. No one took you off the internet. You changed your handle. That's all it was. I just wanted to clarify for the folks because they were worried about you. A nice little feature that X finally offered after many, many years. Someone was using my name.

It turns out was more common than I thought. 13 followers, 10 years dormant account, and Elon finally made it so that you could get it. Nice. So you have it. All right. I'm glad that we settled that. this statistic shocks me and I we have some of the video footage of this because I've been reading about this for the past several days this unprecedented number of fishing vessels that have been going into other countries waters specifically going into like Argentinian waters and then I was shocked to read that something like 80% of the fishing around Peru and Argentina, et cetera, is done by China.

That seems a real, I mean, they've got a big O South Sea that they can, you know, fish in on the other side of the Pacific. Why are they in Argentinian waters? Well, some would say they've overfished a lot of the areas in East Asia. They've been very, very aggressive. It wouldn't come as news to anyone who's listened to this program over the years. but turns out the Chinese aren't the most ethical users of the planet. And so when they go out and overfish and they go into other people's waters, some of this is territory, some of that's political, but they're just very, very aggressive of going

and getting stuff. This also just sort of adds a layer to some of the burps and tickles people we're having about the national security strategy saying that we're going to look anew at the Western Hemisphere that you can't really project power if your own backyard is being encroached upon by the likes of China, Russia, and Iran. And so this is one of those examples. It's not just terrorism, drugs, the military things, all that matters. But here you have this overfishing.

That's really bad for the people who live in our hemisphere. Yeah, very bad. And it's not just in Argentina either. I mean, I see scores of these fishing boats, like, for instance, the territorial waters of the Philippines. And they look like fishing boats, but the reports are that it's actually part of their paramilitary. force can you can you like offer some insight on that because they look like just fishing vessels but you know it's kind of at a distance especially in their near abroad a lot of these are dual use and a lot of people in the region call it gray zone warfare which just means it's not black or

white is this military is this civilian uh it's not quite as brazen as the alleged fishing boats carrying plastic wrapped drugs from parts of latin america into america but it's vessels that very clearly are not first and foremost going about fishing. Some people may have seen a video of one of these ships crashing into a Japanese Coast Guard vessel or a Philippine Coast Guard vessel. You know, when you see someone doing that, they're not out there just fishing. And so that's where I think a lot of the misapprehension has been because China tried to fly into the radar, just a peaceful neighbor. It's about commerce and win-win solutions. But these thousands and thousands of vessels that are out there really are dual use.

And that's another reason why having thousands of them off of South America's coast on the Pacific and Atlantic side, you've got to pay attention to that. I mean, they go quite a distance. And what is the strategy for this? I mean, I understand, you know, when they're doing it in the South Sea's and they're trying to claim, you know, act like their territorial waters go to this, you know, to the extent one showing, just like literally one example. There's tons of video out here, and it's actually startling.

But what is the strategy? Because I would just think that part of what they would not want to do is just aggravate people that might at least aid them by not wanting to stay out and remain apathetic. But you're making it to where countries that normally would not pay any attention to you or your aggression even towards other entities. Now, I mean, if you're bothering them, now they're going to be paying attention. What is the strategy with us? They're just trolls. Well, they are that. And some falls back into the old adage of possession is nine-tenths of the law.

And if they are sort of flooding the zone, a lot of human beings don't live their life on the high seas. It's a whole ecosystem that most people aren't even aware of, even though we're profoundly dependent upon it. I had a Navy captain that worked for me many years ago that just really sobered be up to this of how much commerce and how much, how much of these surface vessels are out there. That video that you just put up was really, really telling because people don't get it. That this is a lot of litter on the surface of the water. I mean, if you're just trying to get your own vessels in and out of that area,

it crowds them out. So it's a form of control. And so if you're trying to influence people about, hey, don't rock the boat with us, then you've got sort of the wolf warrior going in as a diplomat. But if you are controlling the seaways in and out of a key terrorist, territory, then that's another form of leverage that China has when they want it. You know, that made me think, too, when we talked about this last week when you were on

with me, how, and for those just joining Stephen Yates at Steve Aids on X, when Trump sent, when he had the Navy respond to narco-terror boats in the Caribbean, everyone just lost it. I mean, everyone, like people on the left, et cetera, people were losing their minds. But then China can systematically send all of these boats out and violate our everyone's territorial waters, overfish, et cetera, you know, litter, destroy parts of, you know, the natural wildlife and habitat in the ocean. Nobody says a single thing. In addition to also drug running, nobody says a single thing about them, nothing at all. Well, I think if you've been addicted to the toxic ideology that America is inherently bad and that if you have your own

version of a little red book that guides your life, then you're just looking at who's doing what, rather than what they're doing. Obviously, if you apply common sense and what's necessary for a free and prosperous world to function, you would see the stabilizing value of having American strategic force in the hemisphere, keeping bad guys maybe a little hesitant, and you would see this flooding of these dual-use vessels into our area by an unreliable power from far away as changing the status quo might be the way the State Department could talk about it. Yeah. Still with China, but switching gears and looking at Europe, French President Emmanuel Macron's warning that the EU may impose tariffs on Chinese industrial goods. Is this kind of surprising coming from Macron because it looks like he's toughening his stance? Is that what this is? I mean, I'm kind of surprised to see it because he's always been a little bit soft in my opinion on CCP.

I think your opinion is directionally correct. I hope that maybe he has gotten a little bit of an early warning. a lot of European citizens that feel pretty frosted about the bad deal that they've gotten with China. On the one hand, China has very predatory economic practices, and at the same time, their national leaders in Europe are increasing their dependency on that same country. And maybe to add a third part of this, completely ignoring China's role in bank rolling Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which we're led to believe is going to change the entire direction the world goes in the not too distant future. So all those things should be reverberating in French, German, British, other countries, national polity to say, maybe be a little less

supplicant in dealing with China. But a lot of these leaders, especially old Europe, are decades late in this wake up. Yeah, very much so. And then let's see, the last but not least, the $12 billion bailout to farmers because of the trade war and because we're kind of struggling a little bit with with China. I'm just, are we going to come to a point where I, I feel like we need really better deals with all of these other nations because we're never going to have a legitimate deal with China. It's just a geopolitical foe. It feels almost, I mean, I understand the administration wanting to try to make peace as much as can be without sacrificing position. But at the same time, you know, we're taking hits. We got to, we need to domestically. We, I think,

I think we need to shore up a lot of stuff, but I kind of wanted to get your thoughts on this because it just seems like we can't, I don't think anybody can count on having anything normalized with China as part of a long-term strategy for the United States. Well, the People's Republic has proven under Xi Jinping that they're willing to weaponize any form of leverage whenever it suits them. It doesn't have to be some kind of a grand national priority. It's just at any point of negotiation or where they want to oppose the leverage, they can and they will. And so sensible people are waking up to, oh, well, maybe if we're dependent on them for, say, Christmas lights, that's one thing. But if we're dependent upon them for key elements of our food supply and our tech supply chain, especially things that touch upon our national defense, critical infrastructure, that's a whole other ballgame. But it takes a while to change some of these things directionally.

And ag is one of those areas where I think there's a new strategy to try to move that battleship a little bit in a more balanced direction. but it's going to take a long time. China because it's been so big and it can have government-forced purchases, they can buy a lot. And so our farmers have gotten used to that easy switch of going to that market. And we're just going to have to have other markets

grow into that area. Maybe we also need sensible government to get elected in the country of Brazil at some point so that it's not getting in the way of distorting the flow of ag and prices also. That's another part of focusing better on our hemisphere that could put us in a better position with China and others. There you go right there.

Stephen Yates, at Steve Yates on X. Always good to see you, my friend. So appreciate your time as well. Have a great rest of your week. Thank you, Dana. Take good care. 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. Workforce needs our dreams, our skills, our tenacity. With the Dream Act, we can. make sure what we've done so far is only the beginning. I urge leaders of both parties to see this is as much as a needed solution that comes at such an urgent time for young immigrants across the country. We are essential, we are driven, we are the future, and we need a dream act to pass. Okay, you don't. And again, if you can file to attend college and you can fill out paperwork for

scholarships, then you can do all of that with this as well. And by the way, this person was a DACA recipient. DACA, they had a grace period so long as they were in the process, they're not going to be deported. So if you're not in the process, I mean, that's on you. I'm so, I'm just tired of this. And there's no exceptions. I mean, it's got to start somewhere. Welcome back to the program. So apparently Colin, Colin Allred is there, everybody's watching this Texas Senate race. And Jasmine Crocket is apparently going to be announcing today because they've been redrawing the districts in Texas. And there's a chance that she might actually run. I think she wants to challenge Cornyn. She might actually run in the Senate. She's not going to win. There's no way

she's going to win. I don't know why she doesn't really do anything in Congress. She doesn't have an impact. She has no effect at all whatsoever. But apparently, He's a former Texas rep, and the fact that he is, you know, he's leaving the primary in the Senate race, apparently, is because they're anticipating her getting involved. That's, I can't see it happening. Again, like I said, I can't see it happening, which means that because of new districts, our district is actually going to get a little bit more competitive, which, you know, It is what it is. Hopefully they won't, it all comes down to turnout. We're going to have to have really good turnout to combat some of that. But can you imagine a Jasmine Crockett in the Senate? She hasn't done enough in the House. I'd much prefer her being on up for re-election every two years instead of every six. Goodness. She hasn't done anything. What is she done? We actually, I went over this, you know, not too long ago and looked at the legislation. I mean, she doesn't really push any bills. She doesn't. really move the needle at all. She doesn't fundraise well.

She doesn't bring high dollars. That's a fact. I don't know what, she's kind of like a drag on the whole party. She's, especially with her stunts that she pulls. You know, she constantly seeking attention

because she's constantly seeking the camera. She's constantly, I mean, she picks fights with everybody. I just don't, I don't know. I just don't see how she does anything. She's expected to make an announcement. so we'll we'll see how that goes I know you're all excited everybody's so excited about that also let's see I got a couple of other sound bites here that I want to because we got a lot of

really good audio save 28 save the Jennifer Welch thing because I don't have time to get into it with this woman whose face looks like a pursed rear orifice I had a stop myself for a second. I also really don't care about the Marjorie Taylor Green stuff. I'm kind of over her. She made her money. She's cashing out two days after her pension vests, her congressional pension. So I'm kind of over.

I think her going on 60 minutes and going on all of these progressive news shows is incredibly telling. So, me, I'm just not, she wanted to run for a race that she wasn't going to win. And Trump was very kindly telling her privately. And she decided she didn't want to keep it privately anymore. So I don't see why courtesy is still owed. or attention and to that point. Also, let's see, because I'm trying to make sure we got,

we had a lot on deck today. I don't think I got into everything. One of the things that we'll talk about coming up is this very interesting stat that I was reading about over the weekend. Drew's enlistment talking about the Arab world, right? So apparently with Hamas and all of the violent, you know, terrorist kind of stuff, you have Bedouin service,

Drew's enlistment. the Arab Christian enlistment has tripled in the past year. There's a very interesting fracture that has already existed, but is now widening in the Arab world. We'll talk more about that later this week. In the meantime, today, and stupidity came. All right, Juan, this is cut 20. It's California's Governor Gavin Newsom. This is what he thinks is needed for the economy.

And you tell me if you understand what the hell he's saying. We have a party that I think needs to design and develop a compelling economic vision for the future. where people feel included to reconcile the fact that if we don't democratize our economy, we're not going to save democracy. And I don't... What does that mean democratize the economy? I thought we were doing that.

I feel like he just says words that he thinks sound neat, but make no sense when he really think about it. Kamala is still writing for him. Yeah, apparently. Maybe she's still writing his speeches. That does it for us today, folks. Make sure you go sign up over at Substack Chapter and Verse.
