Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome back to the program. Yours truly a retired little Christmas loving God from Mudgeon. I accidentally started World War III on X because I asked a question about cranberries. Actually, I didn't ask a question. I said that this sliced canned cranberry is the only cranberry worth having on the table. Guys, if we have a Civil War, it's not going to be over the stuff you think. It's going to be about, it's going to be between the sliced cranberry people and the I made it from scratch cranberry.
Starting point is 00:00:31 people. It's really where it's going to be. That's going to be, it's going to be World War 3 over that. And then we're going to have to divide into like two nations, right? Slice cranberry on one flag and on the other flag, whatever the hell they call that hippie granola with the cranberries in it. I don't know. It's weird. It's weird. It is. You know it's right. I feel like deer would love it. So I'm just going to let that sit there. Let's go on. Let's move on. I got something funny for you. You guys want to hear a joke? I've got a really funny joke. Okay. So here's my joke. Kamala Harris is telling her advisors and allies to keep her political options open. It's the best joke I've heard like this year. It's the best joke I've
Starting point is 00:01:17 heard. She, I mean, this is what her, her insiders are saying. They're saying that she's telling people keep, keep your, keep my options open. I don't know if she's thinking about running for governor? Really? I don't think she would be popular as governor in California. And I don't know. I mean, if she doesn't run for governor, I don't know, because it's going to be a pretty open race. And I don't know who they have that they're preparing to do it. I don't know. Because the Senate seats are set. I mean, they're going to be filled by, I mean, you got Alex Pedia and Adam Schiff. So the Senate seats are. upset. I don't know. I don't know. I mean, it looks like I, I feel like she, I guess what, she thinks she can go for governor. Really? Her party doesn't like her. They're going to go back to not liking her. But apparently they're saying keep her, she wants to keep her instructions open. And apparently she hasn't ruled out a 2028 run. Oh, Gavin Newsom will mow her down for that. Oh my gosh. Hair Joe? Oh yeah. He's going to mow her down for that. And a way that means.
Starting point is 00:02:30 is not going to run. He's preparing to run. He's like whole everything is him preparing to run. That's what he's doing. So no, that's like, of course he's going to. Can you imagine? Who's going to give her another billion to blow through? Blubbing the operative word. Who's going to give her the, what? Be careful. I was talking about because of the wind with not, with getting blown away. So I don't know what. I don't know what she's going to spend because what was it like one point was it one point two one point three billion that she blew through something insane right yeah I so I don't so she still uh she still owes some 20 something million that's right she's in debt 20 million why is she even considering unless she's considering running because she wants to raise money to pay off her debt and that's
Starting point is 00:03:26 like probably the only thing that right That's what I'm thinking. I don't know. Just saying it just seems because otherwise I don't see what there's no benefit to her. There's no benefit. This is an insane story. And I wanted to touch on this. I think I had it earlier in my rundown, but I wanted to bring this up. Have you guys heard about this case with Jeff Younger? This is one of the wildest cases. I think that I think that I, I don't know. He's a Texas dad, actually. Wasn't he in like Capel? Not too far from us. So this dad, him and his wife got divorced. His name is Jeff Younger. His wife is Ann Gorgulis. And they had, they have a 12-year-old son that they got, he got, he was going to get granted a full custody of his 12-year-old son. And he wanted to, well, the ex-wife is. She was just granted that. California court this past week. He has twins, twin boys, and one of the boys apparently is, from what they talked about in court, the 12-year-old boy would dress as a boy and do boy stuff
Starting point is 00:04:46 at his dad's house. And then when he was with his mom, it was like his mom was like pushing this stuff on him. And so the mom insisted that the 12-year-old be transitioned because he's, the mom decided that the son was transgender. And the 12-year-old, they wanted to put him, she wanted to put him on hormone blockers and all of this stuff, chemical castration essentially is what she wants to do to him. And the dad had been fighting this for quite a long time,
Starting point is 00:05:18 a couple of years. They've been fighting with him for a while. And so then she moved from Texas to California and she's raising the 12-year-old boy And again, he's a twin. So she's raising him as a girl. She's been claiming that he is a girl since, I mean, for several years now. And when the dad, Jeff Younger, asked his son, you know, do you think that you're a girl?
Starting point is 00:05:44 And like, what do you, you know, what do you think? And he was in the beginning when they were in court, it was like he, the son said he wanted to be a boy. And it was like he would only dress up when he was visiting, when he was at his mom's house. and being with the mom. And so his ex-wife was wanting to do all of this hormone stuff and a court ruled that she could not seek transitioning treatment of their son previously. And she acknowledged the order. And then the Supreme Court of Texas ruled in December that she lacked the legal authority to consent to such therapy. But she's been pushing this this entire time.
Starting point is 00:06:25 And now, he said she was transitioned. him when she when he was two and the records support that she put him in a gender clinic when he was five and then she relocated to California so she could basically be in a better position to fight to have him transitioned and then in 21 excuse me the judge in California gave her full custody over the 12 year old boy including his medical care but they said that the control did not extend to the hormone suppression therapy and the puberty blockers and the reassignment surgery. They said the boy's dad had to sign off on that. Well, the mom didn't like that. And they kept, they were, they were pushing it. And now, uh, he lost all parental rights over him. And I read, because I think
Starting point is 00:07:16 that they did IVF. And apparently, that's not even her biological child. Because they, I think she had like a donor. I read a story where they had one of the reports that was in Texas media. Yeah. So, I don't know. That's what I, the whole, this isn't an insane story to me for a number of different reasons. The California judge was the one who, who granted the mom all authority. And the dad was, you know, he was a super involved dad. And then they had like an acrimonious divorce and then the mom's doing this. It makes me wonder if she's not doing it to get at the dad. I don't know. but he says that, I mean, he was supposed to have supervised supervision or supervised, sorry, visitation. He said that he sends letters and stuff to his sons, but his ex-wife is not required to make sure that they receive them.
Starting point is 00:08:14 But now she's been released. She's free to go and seek the experimental surgery and chemically castrate him and all this stuff, which is wild. I don't know. Of course, she has her medical picture where she's wearing a cross-neck. which even the devil can quote scripture. That's, it's so sad to me. This kid's 12 years old. She's been brainwashing this kid since he was a toddler.
Starting point is 00:08:39 Before he even understands, you know, concrete concepts or abstract concepts, she's pushing this stuff on him. To me, I feel like that that's a form of abuse. I can't believe courtrooms don't see that, especially when it involves, you know, a mom and a dad that are not on the same page. Wouldn't you want to err on the side of caution as opposed to just give it? the mom the green light for chemical castration and then experimental surgery. I just feel like you would, you would want to err on the side of caution with us. That just blows the mind that that's not
Starting point is 00:09:08 what's happening here. So that's, I mean, it's just so sad. It just, it makes, because, yeah, it's just so sad. And, uh, I, I, they had, they got divorced and then apparently it sounds like she's just, like she had, she purchased all girl toys for the, for the son. So when, you, he was at his mom's house, he's playing with girl toys, he's got girl clothes. It really sounds like she was put, I mean, you're two years old. This is, this is entirely an adult concept that they're transposing onto kids and then saying that the kids are actually choosing it because they feel like they have some greater purpose to help this child affirm who, you know, they think they are. It's abusive. It's incredibly abusive. I feel so bad for this dad. I mean, what,
Starting point is 00:09:52 I'm curious is to where some of the Texas leadership is on this. And a lot of, I was told by a friend that some of the churches in our area, but since he's in Capell, that's considered part of DFW, Dallas Fort Worth. And there were apparently like churches that are afraid to speak out on this care, or help the dad, because they don't want to lose any kind of tax exempt status. I think a lot of things, a lot of things need to happen here. But I'm just curious as to why I never saw. I mean, this feels like something Ken Paxton should be. I think Ken Paxton has mentioned this before. But a lot of these other lawmakers out there, where are they? Where's some of these lawmakers with us?
Starting point is 00:10:35 I mean, I can't, can you imagine not being able to really have any kind of parental control over your child? And you know that they're going to be chemically castrated and it's not something they've ever had the freedom to come to a decision that they chose. They didn't have the freedom to choose it. It was pushed on them from toddlerhood. it's so abusive. Speaking of like related to this. So remember they've been trying to cancel J.K. Rallying for I don't know how long now.
Starting point is 00:11:10 How long they've been trying to cancel this woman? I mean years now. Ever since she spoke up in favor of sanity, in favor of women protecting women's spaces and on sports teams and stuff, they've been trying to cancel her something fierce. So HBO has been forced into defending her because the woke scolds were demanding that she be removed from her own Harry Potter TV series. That seems a little, yeah, maybe not. That seems a little much.
Starting point is 00:11:46 So HBO, to their credit, they're actually staining by her. That's kind of impressive because they had not, that was not something. something previously that I thought that they would, I mean, it's because it's Disney, but, or, because they've got the Disney, they have the Disney Harry Potter theme park. Apparently her name's on it, HBO. Uh, I guess everybody's standing, or, or she has blank you money and she can't be canceled. They're, and blank you power. Cause she's like a factory of stories. Yeah, they said that because they, uh, they still have
Starting point is 00:12:23 her name up on the, the stuff at Disney. They haven't taken her name off that. and HBO said that they're not taking her name off of the series because people were upset that she stuck up for women. Hmm. Interesting. Is it maybe that pendulum is swinging the other way? All right, as we move. Our partners over at Preborn.
Starting point is 00:12:51 This is such a great organization. And if you are unfamiliar with Preborn, let me tell you. This is a great ministry that meets with women who are facing unplanned pregnancies, and they assist these mothers in their choice of life. They introduce these mothers to their babies through ultrasounds that you help provide. And when a mother hears her infant's heartbeat and sees the infant on the ultrasound, that baby's chance that life doubles, there have been numerous studies on this. And pre-born helps make that possible.
Starting point is 00:13:21 That's what your money goes to. They have right now matching grants, so your donation is doubled. it goes twice as far, every dollar you contribute, that's what it goes to. It puts ultrasound machines in women's clinics. It helps to partner with women who have chosen life, and they help them with maternity and things like diapers and all kinds of stuff. So these women feel less alone. And I think that's such a great thing to do as an affirmation of life. And preborn cannot do it without you. Every donation counts. So you could, I mean, for $28, you can actually get an ultrasound for a moment like today for $28.
Starting point is 00:13:58 If you wanted to go big, if you can go big, 510,000, 15,000, you can actually put ultrasound machines in clinics. It's an amazing thing what they do. And they have such an excellent rating with like every measure of, you know, charitable grade possible. Like they're just so above board. They're so transparent. And you know where your money goes.
Starting point is 00:14:21 And they, I mean, because you see it. They like send you emails and videos and all kinds of stuff. It's awesome. very simple to donate pound 250 hashtag for you gen ziers pound 250 and say the keyword baby it's so easy to donate you can also visit preborn.com slash dana and donate online every dollar counts pound 250 say the keyword baby or donate securely at preborn dot com slash dana and now all of the news you would probably miss it's time for dana's quick five see here so first uh Well, we told you the story.
Starting point is 00:14:58 Harris is telling her advisors that they need to kind of keep her options open for her, whether it's maybe going for governor or going for Senate, something to that effect. This is crazy. Editorial four in 10 Chicago public school teachers were chronically absent last year. Their median salaries, $95,000. Four in ten. Four in ten were absent. And that, last year, the median salary is 95,000.
Starting point is 00:15:35 I know, I'm without words. I don't quite, that's 21% more than teachers make in the suburbs. Yep. The median pay there, $78,000, these teachers are making $95,000. And CPS in Cook County, Chicago Public Schools, pays its teacher more than any other, its teachers, more than any other large school district in the nation. It just proves throwing more money at it doesn't fix it. completely totally not at all it does not fix it at all a unique cemetery says grieving relatives
Starting point is 00:16:04 must pay for VIP passes to visit graves this has this so this is in Britain it's in Longton Stoke-on-Trent and it's like a it's a I mean it doesn't look like it's a anything but a normal cemetery it costs five bucks to visit a grave or cremation plot 10 to visit the rose garden and they're not going to come out and force with this. Well, it'll be in January. And they have electric gates. So you have to have a VIP pass. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:35 But if I paid to have them buried there, that's me paying to visit whenever. I don't know if you get the VIP pass. If you pay to do that, have them, I don't know. I mean, I don't know if anybody who, like, goes and acts, unless it's like a Veterans Cemetery, people you don't know. This reminds me of, like, in-game purchasing. It's in-game purchasing. You can pay to have some of them a barrier to, but you have to pay for the access of, of getting to them, yes.
Starting point is 00:16:59 So this is, okay, speaking of dead stuff, oh gosh, a Colorado funeral homeowner was accused of letting 190 bodies decay. And they pled guilty to corpse abuse. That's, oh my gosh. Apparently, they begin storing their bodies in a decrepit building near Colorado Springs in 2019. And they gave family, families,
Starting point is 00:17:26 dry concrete in place of cremated remains. So somebody probably has like grandma in a jar on their mantle, and it's not grandma. It's just concrete. Yeah. So they're in a lot of trouble. John and Carrie Halford. It's called the Return to Nature funeral home. They begin storing the bodies in this, and then they would give families the dry concrete.
Starting point is 00:17:46 They just had the discovery last year that this was happening. They apparently spent extravagantly. They did laser body sculpting, fancy cars, luxury items. all that stuff. They've pled guilty to fraud. That is insane. Stick with us. We get a lot more on the way. And our partners, the non-firearm firearm, the folks over at Burn a Gun. This is an interesting, it's an interesting product because it's a self-defense tool, right? And I always tell people, you know, I carry always, and there's very rare exceptions when I don't, and I have a zero issue with using lethal force to protect myself and my loved ones. That said, there are times, and I have friends
Starting point is 00:18:32 who have to live this, where you're required to go somewhere, maybe it's for work or whatever, where it's a gun-free zone, which I know is the dumbest phrase ever, but that's the reality. I had a friend who lives in Washington, D.C. And the nature of their work means that they have to go into some places that do not allow firearms, even though they have one of the very difficult to get in D.C. licenses to carry. So my friend went out and got Burna's most popular model, the Burna S.D. It has five rounds, so that's already greater than the average stun gun, which is just one or two. And the Burna SD, it shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can disable threats from up to 50 feet away. And they have different models, but the Burna
Starting point is 00:19:12 SD, that's the one that I have the greatest familiarity with. And that's the one that I know, I have at least, just in the past, like few months, I have six friends that have gotten them. And they all live in places like Chicago and New York and they mostly work in like media and then I have one that works in law in New York and they have to go their job, they got to feed their families and so they carry a Berna SD and then
Starting point is 00:19:35 when they get back to their car they have their firearm you know but that's one of the things that they got to do to protect themselves Burna is helping you diversify your array of self-defense weapons and you can get 10% off their most popular model actually 10% off your whole purchase at Burna.com slash Dana. It's B-Y-R-N-A
Starting point is 00:19:50 Burna.com slash Dana doesn't care about gun-free zone signs no background check legal in all 50 states ships right to your door burn it.com slash dana for 10% off welcome back to the program dana lash here with you and uh we are at the bottom of this first hour welcome back to the program we're going to get into these picks and all this stuff here coming up i wanted to remark on this i thought this was fascinating so i noticed over the weekend and i had retweeted it because i'd asked a question about it Elon musk had tweeted this video out let me pull this up. It's this, it's all of these, it's like drones that are getting into formation. It's, it's really interesting. And it's this video and it's showing, you know, all the stuff
Starting point is 00:20:29 that drones, because drones are actually terrifying when you think about it, right? Especially when you're using them in warfare. Because without, I mean, you would have to essentially use an EMP, right, to take, unless there's like something that's a little bit more siloed in terms of affecting, you know, this, this particular, like, squadron of drones. drones and Juan's showing you on the simulcast right now this video that Musk had put out there. And, you know, it's terrifying because they don't even actually make like a lot of sound, right? And we can joke and be like, oh, yeah, you can use them for skeet shooting and all that. Yeah, but, you know, also like in warfare, it's, yeah, it's not as, it's not actually.
Starting point is 00:21:16 It would, I mean, I don't know how you defend against it. I'm sure that smart people have answers. but warfare is changing. And one of the other things that's changing to is, or needs to, is the way that we approach it. And so I was talking to some folks about this over the weekend and I've heard a lot like so many from my friends who've served and obviously, you know, reading about the difficulties with the people who are who the war fighters who have war fighting experience and aren't pencil pushers who are trying to tell the people who are people who are. pencil pushers or who are maybe in the, you know, civilians and, you know, not in their sector, trying to get them to understand how you, the agility that the budget requires. And I bring this up because there's this, what is it?
Starting point is 00:22:07 It's the Great Eagle, right? That's like one of the drones that were, it's like a British, isn't it a British? It's like a British drone. And it's like, I think one of the ones that we've been using, it's the MQ1C. and this isn't it's an unmanned aircraft system right i think it's a british thing uh and it's one of the ones that we use and it's and i mean it looks hardcore but they're getting shot out of the sky like you wouldn't believe by the huthies and because now houthis can get apparently they're a lot more affordable now the surface to air missiles it's also by the way things are also a lot a lot more
Starting point is 00:22:44 affordable for terrorists like the Houthis and Hamas and Hezbollah when you unfreeze a lot of Iranian assets, including the cash that were part of the sanctions that we had frozen that Biden, Harris unfrozen. They were able to, amazing how they started getting all this stuff after that happened. It just blows the mind, right? I'm sure it's a crazy coincidence. Sure. So we talking with some of these folks, when our, when we go out and we do these acquisitions of whether it's jets, whether it's drones or whatever, the bureaucracy.
Starting point is 00:23:14 and getting this done, getting the contract done. And usually it's some congressman that goes out and wins it for their district. And so they're very proprietary about it. And they're bringing a big trophy home for their district. And that helps them get reelected. There's so many tentacles in this stuff. So when they make these acquisitions and they get this stuff,
Starting point is 00:23:36 you're talking about building something with the tech and parts of today. Maybe it's deliverable in eight to 10 years. and by that time it's already outmoded by the time it's delivered. By the time the contract is realized or fulfilled, it's already outmoded. And in the meantime, you know, you have these other entities and in people that are geopolitical opponents that are not having to deal with that much bureaucracy
Starting point is 00:24:02 and doing all that stuff and they're able to kind of be faster and more agile in terms of responding and progressing with these sorts of weaponry. And my mind was, blown when I heard the price tag. You're talking about billions and billions of dollars. Just recently, they cut this program. They had acquired, they had a contract out with this particular type of jet. It was like a $22 billion contract. And they ended up canceling it. The Army did because it was not going to be deliverable, I think, until 2033. They had started it already a few years ago.
Starting point is 00:24:34 And by the time it was going to be delivered, a lot of the software and everything else is going to be outmoded. I'm not kidding you. And I'm looking at these drones and this, video that Musk put up. And it, there's no, I don't know who's writing these contracts or in our, in our government or our military. Why would you not have? And maybe this is me not knowing about military acquisition of this stuff, but my civilian brain is going, why would you not have a caveat that in order for this contract to be considered legit or fulfilled and not voided is if you are keeping up with the technology and any latest hardware or anything like that, so that it is by the time it's delivered the latest.
Starting point is 00:25:15 Shouldn't that also be part of the job? I mean, it's just what you would think. It's wild, wild to me. So I don't, I don't know. I was looking at this and there was a huge debate about it last night because Musk had already talked about the F-35 and was, I mean, it's still, you know, it's an advanced fighter jet, but I'm telling you there are the necessity of progression is calling. I mean, with drones and F-35, I mean, there's a lot of stuff that goes into this.
Starting point is 00:25:48 And it's difficult for our war fighters to be able to make these calls because they're drowning in these legacy defense contracts that tie us to stuff that's outmoded by the time it's fulfilled. And then we are watching, you know, our geopolitical foes not have to deal with that level of bureaucracy. And people go, yeah, well, that's because they're communist. or their dictators and they don't have to go. Don't pretend that this bureaucracy is like something that's a feature of a system that's representing the people. It's bureaucracy because it's Ward, Inc. legacy contracts.
Starting point is 00:26:24 It's all these defense contractors that are trying to get their hands in the pie. That's exactly what it is. I mean, it was amazing listening to some of the price tags on some of this stuff. You want to talk about things that could be cut? I'm all four. And I think really having our defenses are federal government's sole job. All of this other stuff is stuff that we have grown. own apathetic. We've been gluttoned on the legacy of other people. I mean, we've,
Starting point is 00:26:51 we've coasted on what the founders have built for us for quite a long time. That's how amazing their efforts were. We've coasted on it for a while. And we're gluttons. And it's great to be a glutton of freedom. But you also have to put in as much to it in terms of protecting it and exercising it and practicing it and defending it as you do exercising it as well. I mean, it's incredibly important because now we have all of this stuff that the federal government does and it's like defense spending is like falling and I don't believe all defense spending is the sacred cow either don't mistake me but when I'm paying an ungodly amount to the IRS and taxes every quarter and you guys would have a stroke and die I could hire a ton of people we'd have our brand new studio but I have to
Starting point is 00:27:39 give an ungodly amount in taxes to the federal government so There's, think about it. When you are just Article 1, Section 8, people are going to be running, you're going to be running a budget surplus. You take all of your spending down to what you're federally allowed to spend it on. And then you go through, you go through these legacy defense contracts. If this is not going to be up to snuff and it's not going to be actual, it's going to be anachronistic by the time it's fulfilled, then no, piss off. You're not going to have this kind. We're going to change this. We're going to have actual good contracts that require people to fulfill something that is as technologically advanced. as our geopolitical foes the day that it's delivered or better. And we have the ability to do it. And so all of that stuff has to happen. All of that stuff has to happen. I was having a conversation with some folks in the military about recruitment and, you know, on this as well, because I'm looking at all this tech.
Starting point is 00:28:35 I'm looking at the hardware, looking at all these things. And, you know, my comment, and I'm a very, very forthright person, like, excuse me, but I don't know why we're talking about all this other, you know, where we're dealing with recruitment, when we haven't dealt with the big issues right now that is stymie recruitment. Because, you know, you have young males out there that are fighting age that are looking at dudes and dresses with lipstick on and fake boobs and they got medals on their jackets and they're in skirts.
Starting point is 00:29:02 And then you've got, you know, the 13 service members that were abandoned in Afghanistan and sent to their deaths by an absolutely bungled op. Like there's numerous examples that we could give. And that's something that young adult males see. And they are like, well, wait a minute. Because why would they join something like that that doesn't have the best interest of the operation as its priority? I'm not talking about the military nanny and young men that are going into it and acting like, we're going to make sure nothing happens to you.
Starting point is 00:29:35 You know that's part of the threat or risk when you go into the military. Something could happen. But when you don't have a clear operator, you don't have a clear objective. and you have mission creep and operational failure and just dumb assidery, why would you expect any young adult male to want to enlist and participate in that when they don't have the confidence in their leadership because the leadership hasn't demonstrated it? So that was a question that I had asked. It was very interesting.
Starting point is 00:30:03 But this is one of the things that just blows my mind with our military. Like with the food acquisition, do you know one of the reasons that they're, The food is so expensive for our military. Remember when I was telling you about one of the problems that the federal government created for itself in building those electric charging stations all over the country and how it was they actually had it baked in to their regulations that they had to purchase X amount of materials and have X amount of the construction be done by DEI businesses that checked all the DEI stuff? Like you could be a Mexican business owner, but if you didn't have any females on your staff, you're not going to be considered. You could be a lesbian business owner, but if you didn't have a translator on your staff, you couldn't be considered. I mean, that's how crazy it was. You have to have a multitude of boxes to check.
Starting point is 00:30:56 That's why none of them got built. And that's according to Department of Transportation employees themselves. The same thing, literally with food acquisition by military. So if you have the army that wants to buy a bunch of chickens, and the military is the big, and I didn't realize this, they're the biggest purchasers of chickens, right? You want to go to Purdue and you want to buy a bunch of chickens. Ah, they don't check all the DEI boxes. You better find, you know, a one-armed half-blind lesbian who identifies as a man. You better go find her and buy your birds from her.
Starting point is 00:31:24 Also, she hopefully better have a translator on staff. I'm not kidding you. So you've got these people that will buy chickens from Purdue. They'll check all the DEI boxes and upsell it to the military. So we're paying taxpayers more for these birds than what we would normally pay because we're blocked from just buying it from the damn source. That is one of the things that's making it a hellscape for our military members and just acquiring food. It is crazy.
Starting point is 00:31:51 What in the world? They need to go in there with a machete. Cut all this nonsense. We should be, you know what? Our warfighters should be eating. I'm paying my taxes. The one thing I want my federal government to do is have a kick-ass force of lethality. That is what I want.
Starting point is 00:32:08 I want them eating the best beef. I want them all on testosterone. I want them to have whatever they want to have, have the best chicken, whatever you need, boys and ladies, you got it. That's what, because when they go out there to do what they do, I want them to do it the best that they can do it and be the best that they can be and bring it home. That's it. Go out there, minimal loss of life, minimal loss of resources. Just go out there, fist in the air, all pedal, no breaks, and then come back home. But you can't do that with this.

Starting point is 00:33:57 I love you! She hit a car. And that's having a break down. She's a Kamala voter. Apparently she's got Kamala stuck on her car. Oh my car. Oh my gosh. This is what happens when you don't teach people how to deal with emotions.
Starting point is 00:34:26 Is she injured in the accident? I think so much of it. By the way, like when she's, she's not like super. She's like pretending to be upset because she thinks that that woman's going to leave her alone. If she acts like a nut job. When you do that, I want to press harder. And this woman is like, no, you hit my car. I'm not.
Starting point is 00:34:44 You know, what do you mean have a heart? Why don't, why didn't you have a heart? And does she not know? Maybe that woman's broke too. Maybe that woman can't afford. to fix her car. That means she would have to fix her car out of her pocket. And apparently it was like bad.
Starting point is 00:34:57 I don't know. Like she's uninsured, didn't have insurance. You can't. I don't know. I find that fascinating because those are all the people that tell you you have to have insurance to even own a firearm. But yeah,
Starting point is 00:35:09 that chick didn't even have insurance to drive a car? Oh, she was punching it. Doesn't it sound like performative though? Oh, very. Like she didn't really. All of the left whining is performative. All of it.
Starting point is 00:35:22 I, it's, I don't know, it's wild. That's, this is what happens when you teach people how to not, like, how to not deal with emotion. And she has, so this chick has no idea how to deal with anything. Does she act like that over, golly, can you imagine having to rely on her in an emergency? Jeez. I can't. All right. So coming up, this is what we got. We got to talk about this Surgeon General nominee because, yeah, we have to have, we got to have this conversation. We're also going to get into, we get some culture stuff for you as well.
Starting point is 00:36:05 But we got the cab stuff. We got, oh, HBO has to defend J.K. Rowley now. I really do feel like things are kind of resetting a bit. It does sort of feel that way. So we're going to get into that. We've got the case of this father who just lost his kids because. he would not affirm one of his elementary school sons. Well, the wife, the ex-wife claimed that the boy, and he's their twins, that one of the twins
Starting point is 00:36:31 wanted to be a girl, except really no. We're going to talk about all of that. That's a crazy case that started in Texas. Stick with us. We've got a lot more in store. Second hour on the way. Preborn. This is an organization that does one of the things that I've been talking about for a long time.
Starting point is 00:36:52 Everybody talks about pro-life, and it's really easy to talk about it. And it's easy to just, you know, post something online about it. And in some instances, you know, it's great, too, when you are at these, if you go to these clinics and you're talking to women, you're counseling women who may be really in their heart haven't made up their mind. But what happens after, too? So Preborn does all of this. Preborn Ministries is a great organization. And right now is the year ends, your tax deductible donation is literally the difference between life and death. So they put ultrasound machines in needy women's clinics. They make it a possible, they make it possible for women as they're determining whether or not they're going to be able to handle an
Starting point is 00:37:29 unplanned pregnancy. They make it possible for these women to see their babies and ultrasounds and hear their heartbeat. And when that happens, studies have shown that a child's chance at life doubles. And then in addition to that, they don't stop there. They go beyond. They partner with these women up until the toddler years. And they make sure that they have what they need for maternity and things like diapers and car seats. You know, they fill in the gap where a rotten government has encouraged society to fail. And I think that's incredibly important that they do that.
Starting point is 00:37:59 And you can help them. And you can save a life this Christmas. It starts at just $28. A larger donation of $510 or $15,000. That can be used to save countless babies. And you have your donation doubled with a special matching grant this year also. It's simple and easy to donate.

Pound 250, keyword baby, preborn.com slash Dana.
Starting point is 00:38:49 Not only am I not interested in your opinion. I'm not even going to call you. you by your name. You're 23 years old. I don't really give a what you think. Dang. And let me tell you another huge error.
Starting point is 00:39:05 Huge error this matter. The Cajun is when people said campaigns need to reflect progressive values. No, they don't. James Carvel, maybe some of those young staffers should listen to him.
Starting point is 00:39:19 He's a hoot, dude. He is one of the funniest people. He was also, when I was the token conservative at CNN, like back in 2012, he was the nicest person there. He was so nice and so kind. He and his wife were wonderful. I know. You probably wouldn't think that, but he is. He is. He just didn't like these dumb staffers that go in and they want to act like they know more than he does about this stuff. He used, Carville actually used to win elections. Now they don't anymore. Now these people don't anymore.
Starting point is 00:39:44 Welcome back to the program. Daniel Lash with you. Oh my goodness. Make sure to catch us on the Chats at Rumble. You can find us on X as well, terrestrially across the country. Channel 347, TV. So yeah, I'm just, it's pretty, they need to listen to him, but he's mad. He's just done. I made mention earlier about the pendulum, maybe perhaps swinging the other way. I wanted to play audio sound bite nine for you because this is the Walmart, the CEO of Walmart. They are rolling back their DEI policies, believe it or not. And they're just the latest U.S. company to do this. Listen to this. First, let me say, like many companies all across the United States, we've been on a journey
Starting point is 00:40:32 and we continue to be on a journey. And what we're trying to do is to ensure that every customer, every associate feels welcome here to shop and to feel like they belong. And that term belong. We've been talking about belonging now. For almost two years, early 2023, we started talking about belonging. And we're going to continue to make the best to say, decisions we can that makes everyone, our customers, our associates feel like this is an environment they can shop. So this is me as CEO. I don't give a rat's ass about belonging. Just buy our stuff. And seeing. That's it. That's the quote. That's it. You sell things. You don't have to affirm anything for anyone. Can you imagine someone to go into a Walmart and looking at the products? I don't know. I'm
Starting point is 00:41:19 looking at these bags of dog and cat food, and I just don't know if they affirm how I choose to get it on in my private life. I just don't know. I just don't feel like it's affirming me because it's a product. It's a product. It doesn't have to affirm you, Cynthia. It does not have to affirm anything. You're making a purchase. That's it. I hate this. Like they said that some of the, they've removed some product, like chest binders, the for kids. I can't even believe that was the thing that they had or had to take out. They're not going to extend the racial equity center, which I don't even know what that is. And it launched in 2020, they're going to ditch the terms in Canaan, who are basically white adjacent. They've, they hate these terms.
Starting point is 00:42:08 Like, they bristle if you say Latinx. They don't even want the, the, they'll, they'll the letters D and E and I at all together. No more. And they're going to focus on the term belonging. Why do you have to focus on any term? Why? I feel like, you know, Elmo, when he gets real excited, or Kermit the Frog when he's dancing for Christmas and he just gets really excited,
Starting point is 00:42:33 I feel like that. Why does there have to be any term? Why do you have to, who did this? I mean, I get it, they're getting away from it. But do you have to give someone the crutch of a term? Right? Do you see what I mean? Why do you have to have it? Belonging. What? What's about belonging? You know who belongs here? Anyone who's got money to buy your products? Oh, what? That's how that works. I didn't know that, did you? Why are you here at the Walmart? That's what the Walmart greeter should ask. Excuse me, why are you here? I might buy some of your stuff. Okay, you belong. Right? That's how that works. So what gets me is so now they have John Deere for, other companies. The Caterpillar company?
Starting point is 00:43:26 Caterpillar. Cain. What do the Caterpillar people do again? The heavy construction equipment? Yeah. Why do they have to have D.E.I. stuff? That is a great question. I think we know the answer is they don't.
Starting point is 00:43:53 They don't need it. I mean, who was like, well, let's see. Here at Caterpillar, we make a big, heavy construction. equipment. We got to start using these phrases. Latin X and start doing all this stuff. I feel like if you're focusing on that, then you're not focusing on making your stuff. So they're doing DEI changes. They're requiring that all corporate training be oriented to focus on business operate because it wasn't before. What? That's amazing to me. Yeah. So they've, they're bringing in an external speaker
Starting point is 00:44:32 to talk to the Caterpillar employees, the Caterpillar people. And now they've got to have approval from senior VPs who make sure speakers are vetted, et cetera, et cetera. They must have had some humdingers before if they got to go through all that. I just, it's amazing to me that everything,
Starting point is 00:44:50 like Cors and Ford, the, they into their participation in the, and this is a long one, Human Rights Campaign Corporate Equality Index. What is that, Dana? What is the Human Rights Campaign Corporate Equality Index? Well, that is the annual survey and report used to measure, quote, policies, practices, and benefits pertinent to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, LBGTQ plus employees. I don't even know what any of that means.
Starting point is 00:45:23 All I heard was blah. That's all I heard. What I heard too? Actually, I heard, I understood myself just then better than I did with us. Yeah. Yeah, the, I guess that they, that's like the behavioral thing. Have you seen that with their criteria? It's a roadmap and benchmarking tool for businesses.
Starting point is 00:45:46 And I guess they give you a score. You get points, inclusive benefits, things like that. Apparently you get alphabet benefits. I don't even know what that means. What are alphabre? alphabet benefits do you get? Supporting and inclusive culture. 25 points possible.
Starting point is 00:46:04 What about shutting up and not being annoying? How many points do you get for that? Wondering. Corporate social responsibility. This kind of goes on to, you know the stuff that we talked about? Like, why is it that out of all of the charging stations that we had, how much was it,
Starting point is 00:46:19 $7 billion, something like that allocated to spend on it and we only got two of them built? And that's because they, and this is a true thing, you had to give your the government could only consider contracts from businesses that I guess had one of these like a specific score and they checked all of these identity politic boxes so well if you're like a regular lesbian and you are up against a one-armed lesbian then guess what the one-armed lesbian is going to get the contract and you're not if you're a lesbian and you're up against a dude who says that he's a woman guess what the lesbian loses it's the dude who says he's a woman why because he checks a bigger identity politic box than you do. See? Like that's the stuff. And then you had to have like translators and have all this stuff in your business that have nothing to do with your business. You're literally building a charging station. Why do you have to put on like community events? You're a company that builds charging stations. Companies don't need to put on community. You need to demonstrate your, your community, your social
Starting point is 00:47:19 responsibility. You need to STFU. No. This is so dumb. Golly. Belonging. How many times did he say that word in that clip? It's a few. Yeah, there's a few times. I mean, it was almost like a call to action, right? Good night. I don't know. But so you got General Motors, or no, Ford.
Starting point is 00:47:43 That's the other one that's, they're dropping. Oh, speaking of car companies. So the New York Times is claiming that automakers want Trump to keep EV mandates. But apparently that's not true. New York Times were in this story. saying, oh, yes, they're having a coordinated lobbying push to convince POTUS elect to maintain all these climate rules forcing these EV purchases. But apparently that's not exactly true, according to the free beacon. Because Stalantis said that, yeah, we're not pushing for any of this stuff.
Starting point is 00:48:19 They completely contradicted the New York Times report. They said, and the New York Times said that Stalantis was actually going to lobby the Trump administration to keep these mandates. Stalanta said, that's a lie. Stalantus told Free Beacon, we absolutely are not doing that. That is a lie. They said, we are not amongst the lobbyists and all these people from these car companies, if there is one that's
Starting point is 00:48:40 pushing for this. No one's buying the damn things. If you want an EV, you know, to fart around with, fine. Nobody cares. But don't force all of us to get EVs. They're ugly cars. They're ugly, ugly, ugly, golly, they're so ugly. It kills my soul.
Starting point is 00:48:56 Oh my gosh. I see them and it's like everything about modernity that I hate. Solace design. They all look like those Eva bots from Wally. They all look like that. They all look the same, right? It's some Stefford Wife stuff. Everybody's got their Stefford Live EV.
Starting point is 00:49:14 It's one of the reasons why I like, oddly enough, the cyber truck because it's a giant middle finger. It's literally shaped like a child's imagination. And it's brutalist and it's kind of ugly and completely ridiculous. And is it aerodynamic? I think there's questions. But it's so ridiculous. It actually mocks modernity in a way, doesn't it?
Starting point is 00:49:40 At least that's my interpretation of it, right? It goes a lot deeper than a banana duct tape to a wall. Just same. Nobody's buying these cars, though. And I just, whenever I would have to get, if I had to take my car to the shop and I would have to get, they always try to give you an EV. Oh, man, and I'm a brat.
Starting point is 00:49:58 They know when I'm coming through the door, like, oh, my gosh, do not give this woman an EV loaner because she hates them and she will complain for every second that she's in this office. Oh, my gosh. Because I can't stand them. I can't. It's weird, Cain. I'm just saying. I don't care. I don't really care about any of this stuff.
Starting point is 00:50:17 Oil and gas is renewable. It's renewable and it's great. It's a great, plentiful, affordable energy in the United States without the, the, the, uh, convincing of federal mandates. We've already been coming up and pioneering clean, environmentally, more environmentally respectful extraction methods before anybody else ever did. Before anybody in government thought of it, we were already doing it. You know why? Because we like to maintain the business, right? You know that if you're just damaging the earth and you're not taking care of stuff and you're just, you know, sloppy extraction, all this stuff,
Starting point is 00:50:52 you're not going to have much to work with in the future. And so it's all about, you know, prolonging and it's about making sure that you have an industry and you're not just destroying everything to the point where you can't have one anymore. They did that. They didn't have to have the government pressure them to do that. The government comes in and acts like it scored something. Oh, look, we're going to pressure
Starting point is 00:51:11 these people to do exactly what they're already doing. Well, I mean, some of the stuff actually makes it to where your cars are more fuel inefficient, which is a whole other issue. But nobody wants it. People aren't one of these EVs. Still ain't just like, we ain't lobbying for nothing. We're not doing it.
Starting point is 00:51:27 nothing. Our partners over at Black Rifle Coffee. The Freedom Roast, a new roast for Black Rifle Coffee, just in time for Christmas as well.

Chinese Pizza Hut launches deep fried frog pizza. I could go my whole life without this story.
Starting point is 00:52:44 It's their... It's China's Pizza Hut franchise. They're literally serving deep fried frogs on their pizzas. There's also photos of it. I don't want to look at it. Oh, no. They said it's for a limited time. It's just a specialized pizza.
Starting point is 00:52:59 and it has a red sauce base, parsley, and a whole fried bullfrog on top. And then two halves are hard-boiled a with black olives appear as the eyes of the frog. That's absolutely nasty. That's so gross. That's so nasty. So, yeah, that's... Look, I like frog legs. Don't get me wrong.
Starting point is 00:53:18 I think frog legs are good. But I don't like that. And then you put eggs and eyes. But a whole bullfrog on my pizza? No. No, that's okay. A South Carolina town's entire police force has resigned. They're looking at, it's the, it's PD town's entire police force.
Starting point is 00:53:38 Hmm. Yeah, the PDPD. The entire, all the PDPDs, they resigned. The police chief Bob Hale broke his silence on Thursday, and he was resigning after a year of taking over. They said the town councils created a hostile work environment. They made significant cuts to their, funding. They're having trouble doing their jobs because they can't get resources.
Starting point is 00:54:00 And they said that, like, one guy was on his way to a call and his, and he said his car just stopped, worked down and it doesn't work anymore. And they're not, they have no resources. And they've, wow, just, okay, it's the PDPD, you know, take care of them. The, how the happiest people spend their weekends, they treat them like vacations. You've got to learn how to, and this is one of the reasons why you don't really see me. me that often on social media over the weekend. I make a conscious effort to choose not to do it. Because you don't want to get burned out, right? Nobody wants to get burned out, especially if you do it, you know, every day and you've done it every day for 20 years. That, and that's, it is true.
Starting point is 00:54:40 Like to treat your weekends as much as you can, like a vacation, have a vacation mindset on the weekend or on your days off. Have a vacation mindset. Do not do work. Usually everyone likes to rush through all this tasks that they have through the week to get done. done and they do them on the weekend. I think you need to actually partition those out all throughout the week so that your whole day off isn't that. Because I think it is incredibly important. It is. Let's see. This, a guy
Starting point is 00:55:09 a guy was charged with stealing a shopping cart of Red Bull leading O'Fallon, Kane Police on a 100-money mile per hour, 120 mile per hour pursuit. Red Bull gives you wings, but not a pass. That's a difference. Stick with us. We've got more in store. The folks over at Burn a Gun. this is an interesting it's an interesting product because it's a self-defense tool right and i always tell people you know i carry always uh and there's very rare exceptions when i don't and i have a zero
Starting point is 00:55:41 issue with using lethal force to protect myself and my loved ones that said there are times and i have friends who have to live this uh where you're required to go somewhere maybe it's for work or whatever where it's a gun-free zone, which I know is the dumbest phrase ever, but that's the reality. I had a friend who lives in Washington, D.C. And the nature of their work means that they have to go into some places that do not allow firearms, even though they have one of the very difficult to get in D.C. licenses to carry. So my friend went out and got Berna's most popular model, the Berna S.D. It has five rounds, so that's already greater than the average stun gun, which is just one or two. And the Berna S.D. it shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can disable threats from up to 50 feet away.
Starting point is 00:56:28 And they have different models, but the Burna SD, that's the one that I have the greatest familiarity with. And that's the one that I know. I have at least just in the past like a few months, I have six friends that have gotten them. And they all live in places like Chicago and New York. And they mostly work in like media. And then I have one that works in law in New York. And they have to go their job. They got to feed their families.
Starting point is 00:56:50 And so they carry a Burna SD. and then when they get back to their car, they have their firearm, you know, but that's one of the things that they got to do to protect themselves. Burna is helping you diversify your array of self-defense weapons. And you can get 10% off their most popular model, actually 10% off your whole purchase at burnah.com slash Dana slash Dana.

And then we're over at X as well. Kane was telling me about there was a, what did they have, protests that broke out at the lighting of the Rockefeller tree? The tree in New York.
Starting point is 00:57:33 Why were people protesting at a tree lighting? Are they protesting like the tree? I think they were protesting the delivery of the tree? Were they the, are they all the anti-Semite terrorists, the pro-Hamas terrorists? Because usually those are the people. If there's an awkward protest somewhere, like the timing seems really bad, it's usually them. Yeah. Yeah, I'm just...
Starting point is 00:57:54 I'm dropping this in Slack right now so you can see the video. This was over the Thanksgiving, you know, weekend. We don't want no Christmas tree. Okay, well, then nobody cares. What do you think people are going to go? Oh, those anti-Semite terrorists over there, they don't like our tree. Guess we're going to have to tear, going to have to take it down. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:58:14 Aren't they being treephobic? They are being treephobic. Look at them all out there, picnic blankets and everything. It's almost... Then the one guy with the Russian... fuzzy hat and they get some orthodox out there it turns out they did it last year too they done it every year i don't know why it's like such a hot thing to protest the tree didn't they burn it down i yeah the one guy tried was that last year or the year before last i one of them i don't
Starting point is 00:58:38 yeah it was recently it all starts merging together as far as burning down like a 30 foot tree or something they're like in u.s funding of funding of why don't we we should yeah i agree we should not fund terror which is why all aid to gaza should stop just it's a same good heavens they're mad about the tree you know if you're going to protest anything protest that hideous jaguar car
Starting point is 00:59:04 can we talk about this for a moment I'm not over it I really want I want like the romantic era like mopar all of that to come back I want cars to look like cool cars and not dumb
Starting point is 00:59:20 all the EVs out there look the same with the exception, excuse me, of the cyber truck, which is supposed to be brutalist. So Jaguar, you know, right on top of their great, I don't know what you call that, the ad campaign that they had, that hideous thing that they did, where you didn't even know what it was about, if it was about a car. So they came out with the pink car. I don't know. It's a design vision concept. It was leaked ahead of its official release at Miami Art Week. per the telegraph.
Starting point is 00:59:55 The car, it's a Jaguar-type W.O. concept. And it demonstrates the company's desire to strike through convention. It looks like a stupid, completely not aerodynamic vehicle, right? They said that
Starting point is 01:00:12 it's not going to be loved by everyone because it's fearlessly creative. That's what they said. That people aren't going to love it. And the reason that those people won't love it isn't because it looks like a giant pink brick. and it's dumb, but it's because that they are these, you know, what they're trying to do is just simply break through conversation. And that's ultimately, that's what they're doing. It looks bad. They said, oh, it's controversial because it's so fearlessly creative was what they literally said.
Starting point is 01:00:46 I'm reading their statement. This is a taste of things to come. Well, then it looks like taste is going to be like feces. This is horrible. And then it's, they had a hot pink. They had a, like a blue model, like pastel colored. This looks so dumb. This couldn't clear a speed bump either. Kane, this is horrible.
Starting point is 01:01:09 This is a horrible car. This is not aerodynamic. I'm sorry. It's clunky, chunky, and dumb. Yeah, if that's fearless, I would probably request a little fear next time. Yeah. Their next idea. That car's not hot.
Starting point is 01:01:21 It's an ugly car. It's just a bad looking car. Like I wouldn't even buy that as a toy on like, remember the Toys R Us? Yeah. Why would you change a heritage brand like this? What do you think Jaguar before this? What did you think of? Oh, just luxurious, sleek, chill.
Starting point is 01:01:42 Top hats. Yeah. Smoking jackets. Sure. All of that. English countryside. Gentlemanly. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:49 Yeah. Gentlemanly. that's that's you know the genteel nation that's whatever I think everybody thought this I don't I mean they basically use comic sands as a font
Starting point is 01:02:02 and then they have this hideous pink block I mean it's bad so they have them they this guy I mean they I guess they made two concepts of it it just looks bad it's just so cringe people were taking photos by it
Starting point is 01:02:19 but it just doesn't look very good it doesn't this is not a car i would drive steve did you see these cars is this a car you would drive um i wouldn't necessarily drive a jaguar that looked like that i don't i don't hate jaguar but i don't i know it's like why do they hate themselves right that's what this is this is what you make if you hate yourself and that color if you if you were a chick and a dude drove drove up to pick you up in that car no bye oh yeah i'm not gonna lie view that stuff as are you a provider or not. It is a measure of if you are a provider or not.
Starting point is 01:02:57 Just like men can look at women and be like, are you going to be a lady or not? Like, are you going to be someone that I can, I mean, like it's give or take. This is the story's old. Everybody knows this. You'd pull up in a car like that. I'm going to think that you work at Victoria's Secrets
Starting point is 01:03:10 or that you sell that makeup. What's that makeup that they all sell and they get that pink car? Mary Kay. That's a Mary Kay car. Jaguar went full Mary Kay with this edition. I almost said Avon. No, it's the Mary Kay pink, isn't it?
Starting point is 01:03:22 I mean, don't the check. No, I think you're right. I'm positive. It's like that Edward Cisorhands kind of thing where Diane Weiss would go out and sell makeup. In a car, that pink. Yeah. But I can't remember. Yeah, you get a pink Cadillac to the top.
Starting point is 01:03:38 A Mary Kay car is a pink Cadillac that Mary Kay awards to its top performing independent beauty consultants and sales directors. Oh. So it's the Mary Kay car. Yeah. That's exactly what this is. I don't know what the blue one is, but yeah, that's all. This is so... You just don't like fearless creativity.
Starting point is 01:03:57 That's your problem. No, this thing is fugly. I had my hand over the dump button. It's not, it's a real word now. What if you were a woman driving it, though? Would that be okay? If you're a nana. Okay.
Starting point is 01:04:12 If you're a grandmother on her way to the tea room to go and meet with, you know, the other dars there, then that's fine. Go ahead and you can... Most women in my life that I've known ever, were better and more frugal spenders. Yeah, what does this have to do with this Mary Kay monstrosity? Exactly. That's an insult to Mary Kay, by the way. For me to call it that,
Starting point is 01:04:35 I feel like I'm insulting the hard work in entrepreneurs that made Mary Kay possible. But why try so hard to get away from the gentlemanly, kind of manly image that was Jaguar, like, 007, James Bondi type masculinity? Why are they making that kind of masculine? I don't understand. I don't, well, and I don't, yeah, it's not toxic.
Starting point is 01:04:57 It's, that's not what, I don't even think they understand the toxic. The toxicity is saying that gentlemanliness or chivalry is somehow toxic. This is like a feminist nightmare. I feel like I'm looking at a tampon commercial and not a Jaguar vehicle. We're going to drive this right. It's, I thought it was a Skittles commercial when I first saw it without the sound. It's the Mary Kay car. They went full Mary Kay.
Starting point is 01:05:26 It's sad because they had such a great brand. I mean, you that, I don't know what they were, I guess they were struggling because then it's on you that you're marketing. You have such a great, like, you had a great brand. You weren't able to message it to market it. And you do this instead. Mary Kay already did it, like I said. A couple of other things.
Starting point is 01:05:49 So the Hunter Biden case. isn't that nice? Hunter Biden can pretty much do, I guess just about anything. And then he gets, he just gets a complete, you know, pat on the back and sent on his way, isn't it? How interesting. What gets me, though, is just how lacks, and how lacks and how wide, weeping, the language was for this. And I wasn't the first or even the second person to point some of this out. You know, the language in the pardon itself. And Biden was asked about the pardon. Audio 7 by 11. Listen to this. Because remember, he had said he wasn't going to do it. Listen. What's your mind? That's the president. What change? Just focusing on getting up the stories.
Starting point is 01:06:54 Claire McCaskill, audio son by 12, said that she was mad that Joe Biden pardoned Hunter Biden because now she says this is giving ammunition to Republicans. Listen. Do I understand Joe Biden's pardon? Yes, completely. I get it. It's completely understandable. But the both sides folks out there have just gotten some really powerful ammunition.
Starting point is 01:07:27 and for that reason, I hate it. So it gives them, it gives ammunition to Republicans. That's why you don't like it. You don't like it because he lied to your party again. Of course, you knew it. But, and also, it just protected the family's cartel-esque grifting operations. They all knew it. Just like they knew that he was just not going to be able to last through an election cycle.
Starting point is 01:07:52 Democrats deserve all this and more. You knew this is, I told you this is going to happen. But where does it stop? Audio somebody 13. Jamal Bowman brings up this question. I mean, the fact that Hunter Biden's pardoned, but yet, you know, you've got people that are sitting in Rikers, like one of our friends sitting in Rikers right now,
Starting point is 01:08:13 totally innocent man. Listen to this. This is 13. Don't stop at Hunter Biden. Thank you. Pardon the 40 people who are on death row right now to get them off of death row. Number one. Number two, pardon the 3,000 people who are,
Starting point is 01:08:27 when federal jail for trumped up marijuana charges, pardoned them as well so they could get back to their communities and contribute to their economies. Yeah, I don't think we're just going to start parting randomly, people on death row, like violent murderers and things like that. That's really, you're going to deny justice to the people that they had murdered and their families. And that's so stupid.
Starting point is 01:08:48 Jamal Bowman is not the brightest. He's not the brightest bulb in the box. I don't even think he works. I think it's already a broken filament within his head. But no, if you're going to, that Hunter Biden gets it. And then you have the elderly women who were sent to jail because they were praying outside of an abortion clinic. And they were told that they were obstructing because they were praying outside.
Starting point is 01:09:11 There's one elderly woman who's been sent to what, 18 months in jail, prison time. They have to go to jail. But Hunter Biden on gun charges, drug charges, tax evasion, all kinds of stuff. He's going to get just a widespread pardon, a wide birth excuse for. everything. Yeah. Democrats, they made this themselves. It's going to haunt them. It's his life mission
Starting point is 01:09:37 to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. I'm just trying to figure out what one. Well, let's do this one. All right. So this happened on Thanksgiving
Starting point is 01:09:56 morning. And in this house they carved more than just the turkey. Yeah. The, this is in Pensacola, a Florida man stabbed his ex-wife's new husband on Thanksgiving morning on Ascambia County. Gregory Grant, 72, was charged with attempted homicide. They said that the, uh, the grant, uh, the guy, uh, who was, I guess the perpetrator was homeless currently living with his ex-wife and her new husband stabbed the new husband in the upper abdomen during an argument, the victim was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. And yeah, they apparently had gotten into an argument and I don't know. And the guy who was stabbed
Starting point is 01:10:42 said, I was trying to be a nice guy and help out a homeless person. And this is the appreciation I get. Yeah, I mean, again, the knives go in the turkey, not each other. That's how that works. a central Florida man lied about he lied about his identity and he was arrested because he said he forgot who he was when he got caught lying about his identity this is Polk County Sheriff's Office where this
Starting point is 01:11:07 feller this he was arrested and then when he was originally detained he lied about his identity slipped up while trying to keep it going and 54 he's 54 wow wow Wow. Wait, can he be lying about that too?
Starting point is 01:11:30 He's got to be lying about being 54. Anyway, Richard Hallmark of Winterhaven. That totally sounds like a Christmas movie from Hallmark. Bad one. They found a backpack in his car that had meth, all kinds of stuff in it. He said, no, that's my, that backpack is my brother's Robert Hallmark. I don't believe his last name. I'm surprised he didn't go.
Starting point is 01:11:53 Of the Hallmark family. And I can't deal with it. So according to Polk County Sheriff's Office, Pro Boxer, George Foreman famously had five, this is in the article, had five sons with the same name. And then there were the brothers from the TV series Newhart. So it wasn't out of question that there could be brothers who were both named Robert Hallmark. Okay. This is my brother Robert, my other brother Robert? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:18 Okay. And then finally Richard admitted to the sergeant that his name was Richard and not Robert. And he lied about it because he had a worn out for his arrest. and the violation that was given in terms of violation for probation was quote conspiracy to deliver meth he looks like it I think meth ages you right that's methed up like you get real methed up on meth yeah I think so let's see here this no I'm not doing that one that's discussing oh yeah I don't know I can't read this one
Starting point is 01:12:58 although it's really good a woman drove her SUV into her baby daddy and a woman that he was in the middle of Kuitus with right okay a browward woman who drove her SUV into her child's father and the woman that he was getting out with is facing battery charges like no I mean
Starting point is 01:13:18 he was in the act of doing it maybe she couldn't see because her eyelashes were so ridiculous It looks like she just grabbed caterpillars and spiders legs and glued them to her upper lash line. Why? Stop it. That's not natural. You're not supposed to look like one of them yaks that have the flut. It's not how it's supposed to look. She was arrested in case you were wondering. Our third hour is on the way. We have a lot still to get to, including picks, Hunter, so much more culture. Stick with us. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you, your retired goth cramogam.
Starting point is 01:14:06 And we're at the top of our second hour this Friday, getting you all set up. We've been talking about concerns I got with the AG pick. I'd love to have her on and we can talk about it. And if she wants to clarify stuff, they'd be, you know, I'm totally about that. I just, I want to impress on people the seriousness of a pick like this. This is one of the serious ones. So, you know, it has to be taken, obviously, as such. So we'll see. We'll see if we can get her on. Usually when it comes to two-a stuff, it's very difficult if it's a elected official that maybe has been on the wrong side of the Second Amendment to come onto the program because they don't want to. Cain, isn't that correct?
Starting point is 01:14:45 They go from sending us everything that they do and asking for airtime all the time to, oh, no, suddenly they just, oh, no, on that issue, what? No, what? No, it can't. They hide. It's wild. So, and then I have to run them down. raise a fit on social media. And then you guys pressure them and then they come on. That's how you guys, you guys got Cornyn to come back. Cornyn had been on the show before. But then with the red flag bill, oh, I was livid. And he didn't want to come on. And I said something about it on social media.
Starting point is 01:15:15 And you all are like relentless. You guys were like, no, you're going to go on or so. And he did, because you guys wanted to hear what he had to say. He wasn't talking to anybody about this stuff. And it came on and we had a big old debate about it. But it's important, I think. You need to have these clarifications. I'm all about hearing people explain to me their processes, but until they do so, I have to,
Starting point is 01:15:35 you know, I go by what I see and what the record is. So speaking of record, we got a record of an election two weeks ago. And have you seen the fun rate? I was, I asked yesterday, where's Kamala Harris? I asked yesterday, where is she? She's, uh, trying to raise money. Now, what they're saying is that she's raising money for a recount. But you guys know it's not. Or she's 20 billion or 20 million in the hole. She's $20 million in debt. They raised a billion dollars to, how did she spend 1.2?
Starting point is 01:16:16 I don't know. I don't know. Yeah. How much did Bayonne's I get to show up and. Yeah. And Oprah got some. Mm-hmm. Yeah, they get paid.
Starting point is 01:16:29 So now they're pushing for a recount. And they're sending out these emails and they're pushing for a recount. And it's just the last gas. They have the Harris Victory Fund that is a joint fundraising committee that she's authorized with the DNC and other state parties. And apparently they're kind of the deadline to request a recount in Wisconsin's already, that's the closest state. Trump won that by less than 1%. That's already done. And that was Tuesday. of this week, I think.
Starting point is 01:17:02 And then Nevada, it's like 14 days after. And Pennsylvania, that has to be 20 days after the election. The fact that they have an event, they're not going to do this. This is her trying to raise money to pay off the $20 million. $20 million. That's what this is. She's trying to raise money to pay this off. Because she broke.
Starting point is 01:17:20 She's broke. And here's the thing. The FEC, they will allow candidates to go out. out there and raise money for a recount, even if they have no intention of actually filing for a recount. Oh, Cain, tis true. Tis true. Yep. Mm-hmm. Of course that is. It's total BS. Yeah. That's what they, and so they're trying to raise funds for future political battles rather than recounts in other areas. that's so shady
Starting point is 01:18:03 that is so shady so shady so yeah that's um it's a problem but that's a Democrat problem they can go out and they can fleece their voters
Starting point is 01:18:14 I'm completely fine with that completely fine with it they can go they can fleece their people and Democrats will be fine with that they don't mind it I don't know did you guys now we're going to be talking about some of the media stuff because we have Brendan Carr
Starting point is 01:18:29 who's going to be on later in this program and he's going to be joining us to talk about he's actually, we got A.G. Ken Paxson coming up and then we've got Brendan Carr who's going to be joining us in our third hour for this you know, because he's going to be the new commissioner of the FCC as he should be. But it is interesting because remember Comcast is doing a spinoff. They're altering their business model and they're separating
Starting point is 01:18:58 their cable programming for to offer to so they can offer up something else and make some deals.
Starting point is 01:19:09 So New York Post has this piece. MSNBC staffers are in a panic because NBC parent Comcast is doing a spin-off channel
Starting point is 01:19:18 and it may change its name. They also cut Rachel Maddouse pay not a lot. It's, I mean, it sounds like a lot to us. It's a lot of money to me from $30 million to $25 million.
Starting point is 01:19:28 Oh, she's only getting $25 million. So sad, Kay. How's it even happen? So sad. And, yeah, they have staff that are fearing layoffs. So they look like they're, it looks like they're going to be in, they're going to do a spinoff, like a spinoff show or spinoff network. Because they've got all kinds of, you know, they're, they're, it's just wild that this is how they're doing it. And some are wondering.
Starting point is 01:19:56 is it a coincidence after watching the election that they've decided to do this? Because you have a free market cable regulator, as New York Post had noted, who is nominated as chair of the FCC, it's Brennan Carr,
Starting point is 01:20:14 and then you have MSNBC changing its business model. Hmm. Hmm. I mean, Comcast said they're breaking up into two different things. So you're going to have MSNBC, CNBC, and then I guess they're doing a more deal-friendly, like, spinoff.
Starting point is 01:20:37 Very interesting. I don't know. But it does seem like it's not just a coincidence, right? I don't believe in coincidences in D.C. Do you? Kane? I think some of this has to do with them transitioning to digital. I think a lot of this is they realize that they cannot afford.
Starting point is 01:20:56 afford all the stuff that they're doing because the return on that investment is nothing now compared to digital. I don't know how they're paying people $25 and $30 million when it doesn't, that's not supported by their ads, their business model. I don't get it. It's real weird. It doesn't make any sense. But I don't know. I'm just saying, you know, it doesn't make any sense. So that's going to, that's something I want to bring up with Brennan Carr, like, I wonder, like, what do you think of this? Very interesting. So, We'll see. He's, he's, uh, this is one regulatory agency where it, they, they needed car.
Starting point is 01:21:33 They needed car running this. So they said that they're, they're going to be charging fewer people at Comcast, charging fewer people to use their traditional cable lines for connectivity. Uh, and that's getting into, it's getting into all of that. So I don't know. It's also 5G too. So it's not just their, they, the, the thought is that it's not just Comcast cable that's going to see, uh, a reduced profit margin, uh, because.
Starting point is 01:21:58 I mean, obviously you get to cut cords, but it's also a 5G issue that's contributing to that, which is interesting. So, we shall see. But I do find that, you know, they're having to make these big changes. They're having to make these big changes. It's necessary to do so. Also, a couple of other things, couple of things, because we've got Kim Paxton, who's going to be coming up. And then, of course, we're going to talk to Brendan Carr later on in the program about all of this. Speaking of MSNBC, I got to share with you this ridiculous headline that they have. I read the, and I've seen all the debate over it, MSNBC had a headline where they were writing
Starting point is 01:22:40 about the Jose Abara, the murderer, the guy who killed Lake and Riley. And the headline was, he never stood a chance. The murderer, they said the guilt of Lake and Riley's, excuse me, the guilt of talking about Lake and Raleigh's killer. They changed their headline, but Twitter never forgets, or X never forgets, social media never forgets. And it said that Jose Iberra never stood a chance. Wow. So I understand the, I think the rage is completely justified. This is a stupid headline. It is a dumb This is a dumb
Starting point is 01:23:29 It's a dumb headline Like In Reilly's Killer never stood a chance The outcome of this trial was never in doubt I mean Yeah that's that's bad And some people were trying to defend the writer Saying well they didn't choose the headline That's irrelevant
Starting point is 01:23:46 And in some instances First off that presupposes You're begging the question By saying that it's less offensive Because the writer doesn't show you don't even know whether or not the writer chooses the headline. You're assuming that it is less offensive because you're saying that it's less offensive because you're assuming that the writer didn't write the headline.
Starting point is 01:24:05 You have no idea what the writer did or didn't do. Number one, not every digital entity works like that. Number two, this is just a bad, you know what MSNBC could have said that the way that the procedural analysis and when you look at the bench trial versus jury trials and all of this stuff and evidence and that, you know, it could be a boring story on policy and procedure with regards to, you know, the comparison of bench versus jury, but that doesn't get attention and it renders the article really boring and one wants to click on it. So part of me wonders if they didn't, if they put up this headline just for the outrage
Starting point is 01:24:50 of it. Not because they agree with it, but because of the outrage of it. I don't know. It's still, regardless, I don't care what reason, what the reason is. It's stupid. It is absolutely stupid. You have every right to be outraged over this. Because I saw some people, actually, it's shameful.
Starting point is 01:25:09 You don't have to defend this. It's bad. I mean, is it a clickbait headline? Yes. Is it heinous? Yes. It's all bad. So I don't know what, they're saying, oh, will he enter the country illegally?
Starting point is 01:25:24 and the, you know, for the outcome of the trial was never in doubt, the verdict was going to be guilty. And for defense, it was a hopeless case. I mean, they really try to make this guy sound almost sympathetic. But you know what? That's what happens when you're a murderer who has an overabundance of evidence against him in an open and shut case, has already confessed, already said he did it. it's kind of yeah the verdict is pretty obvious you don't need a clickbait headline MSNBC no wonder they're freaking out no wonder they're having to cut salaries because this is garbage says you don't however much you hate the media it's not enough it really isn't we have headlines on the way
Starting point is 01:26:12 and now all of the news you would probably miss it's time for dana's quick five so this was like a crazy case. This is the Connor McGregor case, so apparently they found him guilty of a woman who said that she was brutally raped and battered in her Dublin Hotel Penthouse. She got $250,000. She was awarded by
Starting point is 01:26:37 a civil court in Ireland today. She said it was a December 9th, 2018 assault. It left her heavily bruised. He shook his head. It was a jury of eight women and four men. They returned the verdict after deliberating for six hours. And he testified that he never forced her to do anything. I mean, basically he was saying that he just cheated on his wife,
Starting point is 01:26:55 you know, which is just horrible. But he, and she was with him. D. was with him in court. But yeah, they found him guilty. And he's in the civil case. And so, which is, so he's there demanding that he pays up. That's according to the Associated Press. Elon Musk's Neurrelink has been greenlit for its first brainship trial outside of the United States. And it's, it's, this brain computer interface startup. It's already received approval from Health Canada to begin recruitment for its first clinical trial in the country. And we'll see. But it's a big, they said it's a significant milestone in the quest to develop technology that enables individuals with paralysis to control external devices using only their thoughts, which is wild. That's crazy.
Starting point is 01:27:48 Also, Christmas tree shortage. are apparently destroyed by floods, and the industry is not going to recover for about 15 years, they're assuming. That's, I mean, goodness, it's Hurricane Helene. It tore through a North Carolina farm in September, uprooted 80,000 trees, ruined a family's legacy, and apparently other farms are suffering similar catastrophes. And they said they're going to have to strip everything back, take it down to the dirt, and start all over. They said it's millions of dollars in many years. It's just awful. And again, that's just one of many, many of the things. these tree farms around the Appalachian region where that was really hardest hit by the hurricane
Starting point is 01:28:28 and all the fallout from it. But gosh, they said that, you know, some of the trees are rotted at their cores now because of the flooding and all of that. It's just so it's going to, trees are going to be expensive. A mysterious orb zooming past New York City was accidentally caught on film by a local news chopper. I'm just going to say it looks like aliens. It's, right? What do you think it is? Could it be a glare in the glass? Probably not. I think it's going to be the most ridiculous explanations, usually a truthful one.
Starting point is 01:28:59 I'm just saying it might be. Ellen DeGeneres has moved to Great Britain. Says she's never coming back to the United States. Want, want, nobody cares. And Brazil's, this is wild. Brazil's former president Bolsonaro and his aides have been indicted for an alleged 22 coup attempt now. He was banned last year from running for office for eight years.
Starting point is 01:29:20 Most people, if they had shot and killed a woman, they'd probably, I don't know, maybe go to ground for a little while, maybe forever, not run their mouths about stuff. But if you're Alec Baldwin, audio sound bite 8, instead, you're going to do this. You might not learn from the news, television news in the United States is a business. They have to make money. And again, not to go into great detail about that. But there's a hole. There's a vacuum. There is a gap, if you will, in information for Americans.
Starting point is 01:29:56 Americans are very uninformed about reality, what's really going on. So we're uninformed about reality. What does that mean? He's in Turin, Italy. And he's saying that Americans are unenformed. We're stupid about reality. What is he talking about? What do you mean?
Starting point is 01:30:13 What reality? We all got some questions. We got some questions. What is he talking about? I can get. What? The election? The election?
Starting point is 01:30:23 The election of Trump. I mean, he can be mad about it, but that doesn't mean that people are uneducated because they chose to know for them. But he clearly believes what he's saying. I mean, he hasn't changed. And shooting and killing that woman on the side of his film Rust, of which he was executive producer and also culpable, that he hasn't changed. He's still a hot head. He still has a bad temper. he's still completely irrational,
Starting point is 01:30:53 reckless. Nothing's changed with him at all whatsoever. I can't see in these celebrities that are like this. Like for instance, audio sound by 11. I don't normally play anything from the view, but there's this. Eyes rolling.
Starting point is 01:31:12 I think what we're all saying is we're going to sit and watch. We're going to wait and see because we can't do anything else except. I'm not going to wait and see. I mean, this guy's told us he's a retribution. What are you doing? There's nothing to be done until you know what you're fighting. It's pissing in the wind doesn't help. You just get a wet.
Starting point is 01:31:32 What I'm saying is I have no false expectations that at 78, he's going to all of a sudden turn into it. I love the NEPA baby on the corner that likes to pretend that she wasn't a big butt kisser for a White House role. and she never her dad does world net daily she would never be on that show if her dad did not do world night daily and wasn't like a digital publisher i mean absolute nepo baby and the only reason she really tries to obscure her history in but cassine to get a job in the last administration this is the difference between loyalty and submission oh she'll submit but she's not you know she there's no loyalty she'll submit but there's no and then she turns around and goes on the view and does what she does so I don't know I
Starting point is 01:32:19 I do they do any what do they also they do on that show why do people watch that show I've never understood it I've guest hosted it I've never understood my favorite was when and Barbara Walters was still alive so it was a bit ago and I was Ginny McCarthy I was on with her I sat right next to her and she was amazing
Starting point is 01:32:40 she was very supportive of incur and encouraging she didn't hang out with the other women either I got the sense that they didn't like her Like she gets you know they people give her a bad rep because of her MTV days or whatever but she was actually the nicest, the most common sense person that was on that show. She legit was. And she was super kind. But Barbara Walters was like, so tell me, do you like shooting guns? And they're playing behind me on the big screen. Me literally shooting every gun I own. Well, most of them. Like rifles, pistol, everything. And I'm like, yeah, I guess a little bit. You know, like, what kind of what question is that? But, you know, but, you know, know, it's interesting. I pushed back. I was very polite, but I pushed back when I needed to. They just could not understand me. And when I said, oh, the more, when did, when they, when they asked me, well, when did you actually become more conservative? And I said, oh, the more educated I got. Oh my gosh, the whole audience gasped. And the women there went, oh, do you? And I could tell they
Starting point is 01:33:38 were going to go, do you mean that we're stupid? And I was like, well, I just think we're on different intellectual tracks. What? They were trying to figure out if I was insulting them. I was, but I was doing it in a nice way. But it was just, I don't know. I don't know what, and the issues, like they, who watches the television shows that they have the actors on to talk about? The only thing I watch is if Taylor Sheridan makes it, or if it's about baking or history, and that's it.
Starting point is 01:34:06 I don't really watch anything else. I don't even watch Hallmark Christmas stuff anymore, really. I do enjoy looking at all the new titles because they're all the same, right? Have you guys started your Hallmark Christmas stuff? Have you played any Christmas music game? No. So that's the thing. So when we roll back here after Thanksgiving,
Starting point is 01:34:25 do we immediately start with the Christmas music? Should I have my trees in the background? Do we go full on? Happy Birthday Jesus immediately? Like, what do we do? There are stations across the country that started right after Halloween playing Christmas music. No one does the 12 days of Christmas anymore.
Starting point is 01:34:39 Why? You mean the song or? Like the practice. What's the 12 days of Christmas? Well, 12 days of Christmas you celebrate. and that's like your holiday period and it's from the birth and then after you're celebrating the birth
Starting point is 01:34:51 and we just celebrate up to the moment of the birth and then we're like okay we're done you see what I mean? Yeah, I hear you. Why can't we go back to that? I'm done with more celebrating. Tudor times I guess. More days of celebration?
Starting point is 01:35:04 Okay, twist my own. Well, I mean, just be a little bit more realistic about the lead up. You know what I mean? Like I don't need to be seeing the Christmas trees out in September. Is each day like a small gift like Hanukkah? Like how does it work? Like every day is a small gift?
Starting point is 01:35:16 Yeah, like that's why they had the 12 Days of Christmas song. Are there any dreidels? Well, I mean, that's a, I mean, I guess if you want to be, there can't be. But that's, you know, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel. I remember those Advent calendars, though. I remember as a kid. Yeah. But it should be, I mean, that's how it was.
Starting point is 01:35:37 I mean, it used to actually be 12 days of Christmas, but now you've had holiday creep, right? So it used to be, oh, like, you know, sometime in December, you'll do it. And then, and I think that had to do with art, with fake trees and then artificial trees looking really nice and going on to the market. And so people didn't have to go get real trees anymore because didn't it seem like your Christmas stuff was limited to how long your tree would live? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:36:03 So now you get artificial trees. It doesn't matter, right? Doesn't matter. But that, it's the birth of Christ and then the coming of the Magi. And that's the Three Wiseman. So that's the 12 days of Christmas. So it starts with the births of the birth. of Christ, and it's supposed to end with the coming of the Majai.
Starting point is 01:36:17 And the, and it, it begins on the 25th, and it's supposed to run up until, what, the 6th, and then you've got the four weeks preceding Christmas, that's Advent. Some of it, I think, is brushed off as Catholicism, but that's not how it was always, it wasn't always like that. I mean, even during, you know, Henry the 8th's time, and he was, all of this. I mean, they, so I don't know. They, I just like the idea of 12. 12 days of.
Starting point is 01:36:45 Yeah, me too. Because you lead up to, oh, she had her baby. All right. Bye. Is it like ham every day or every other day's turkey? Sure. Sure.
Starting point is 01:36:55 And then you would have, I don't know if you get the Lords of Leaping and ladies dancing and all that stuff, but that's how it went traditionally. Anyway, my whole point of bringing this up is, I haven't really put, we have our lights up, but we haven't really put anything else up,
Starting point is 01:37:12 but that's going to change. That's going to start changing beginning this week immediately because the Christmas stuff has got to go up. I'm just ready. I think everybody's ready. It was a really weird political cycle. Everybody's ready for it. But the hallmark stuff, I'm telling you. It's the person who owns a snow globe factory.
Starting point is 01:37:31 And she comes, the girl comes in from out of town and she meets the snow club factory owner. And he's a really nice guy. And do sparks fly? I don't know. Watch this Christmas movie. And these people have like. completely ridiculous jobs. I literally watched one where the dad, I'm not, I swear to you, hands to sky. The dude carved toys. He was like a literal woodcarver of toys. And he had this big two
Starting point is 01:37:54 story craftsman style house and the Northeast. I'm like, dude, you would not have that kind of, you're not making that salary. Carving, hand carving toys. And it's just you in your little workshop. Shut up. It looks like someone went and staged it as part of a Santa's elf village for photo ops for families near the pet smart stop it and yeah she and she assumes her dad's workshop and the house and all this and i'm to believe that i'm to believe that right no that will not abide all right we got some other serious stuff here too i'm sorry i don't mean to spend so much time on all of that but you know uh we also don't know don't get some of this audio out of the way uh although steve says they should make a hallmark movie about the villages
Starting point is 01:38:41 Villages. America's friendliest hotel. They would call that not all old people are innocent. That's what they would call. I know you think that old people aren't innocent. We're not here to talk about that. Oh, my gosh. I,
Starting point is 01:38:55 gosh, what are I going to do? It's like, I want to end the show on a happy note, and I don't want to be like, now back to hell. Here's audio soundbite 4 where Venezuelan gang members
Starting point is 01:39:06 are recruiting kids in illegal alien shelters. Let's go ahead and actually play it. Well, growing concern among the NYPD over Venezuelan gang activity across the city. Police believe some gang members are recruiting children living in migrant shelters. As Jennifer Bissram reports, the gang has
Starting point is 01:39:23 blended in with asylum seekers who began arriving here in 2022. Yeah, it's kind of funny how you don't know when you're not demanding, you know, people's documents and all this other stuff. It's kind of crazy. I don't know who's a gang member and who's like the innocent. Well, I mean, nobody's innocent if you're breaking into the country injuring illegally. But just saying, you know, know what is that that's shocking people they're reporting this like this is new and shocking it's not new but it's shocking that you think it is this is this is what people have been telling
Starting point is 01:39:52 talking about this whole time and anytime they brought it up you called them like bigots and xenophobes and everything else and it's been going on this whole time cane you're dying what what it's just weird that they so they insist on not just background checks because we have background checks to buy firearms here but they want universal back. background checks for actual American citizens who are law-abiding, but for they don't care about background checks of people they don't know from other countries coming here illegally? Yeah, apparently not. What?
Starting point is 01:40:22 What? Not happening. That's not correct, sir. Yes. It doesn't make any sense at all. It's not supposed to. Not supposed to. Is there really any better intro than this, this song by G&R, Guns and Roses?
Starting point is 01:40:39 Is there really any? Nay, I don't think there is. Really don't. Welcome back for the program. This is how I would have come into Thanksgiving, by the way. Just start, you know, kicking that solo, and then immediately just start ripping apart the turkey, right? Well, here it comes.
Starting point is 01:40:55 The whole band's getting worded for it, and it's going to go crazy. Tell me what? This is a way to do it. Way to do it. You know, holidays used to be a lot more relaxed, and nothing we used to not all be. Everybody would stress out over politics. and all that stuff.
Starting point is 01:41:11 I think that, like, the greatest generation had no patience for that. My grandparents did not allow that. You're going to get hit by a wooden spoon if you start acting up. If you start making a fuss, as my grandmother would say, if you start, if you're starting to make a fuss, if you're fixing a fuss, you're going to get a slap with a wooden spoon. A woman did not play. I've seen many of people hit in her kitchen with wooden spoons.
Starting point is 01:41:34 And her, this is, feel like they just now, it's like everybody's got a preen. like, here's my political beliefs, and I hope we can get along this holiday. You can get along if you want to get along. I also think it's a creation of media. Media creates it as a way to further just haunt you, even when you try to get away from them. So some of the things that we've touched on, so Israel and Hezbollah there, they've got a ceasefire now. Netanyahu already announced it. And apparently Biden's going to be, I guess he's going to be speaking on it here shortly. but it is the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah and then they're going to start kind of peeling back
Starting point is 01:42:12 their respective forces and that's so that'll be and that's of course in southern Lebanon, northern Israel and so we have this we also have MSNBC says that it was unaware of Harris's campaign contributions to Al Sharpton's nonprofit but they won't say whether or not they're taking action
Starting point is 01:42:31 really oh they were unaware that he got a hundred hundred out he got a half a million dollars before she did a softball interview with him half a million dollars how much does she give to Oprah she gave it to harpo but it was to Oprah yeah so that's and then let's see we got the transgender bathroom thing such as i think nancy mace can stop talking about the transgender bathroom stuff now i can't like yeah i mean i get that she's wanting attention and wants to seem like she's like being very rebellious but they already solved the issue.
Starting point is 01:43:08 They came out with the rule and they're like, it's done. And she's still like, okay, we get it. You realize there's some other serious stuff happening in the house that could also use your attention. If you want to act up over some, act up over some of these other pieces of legislation. That was solved by a simple rule change. That's all they did. And one and done. Now let's look at some of this other stuff that, you know, that's in the house right now.
Starting point is 01:43:30 There's some important legislation there. Let's maybe get on some of that. I don't know. I get a little try too hard from that one. Does that mean to say, yo, you all are thinking it. Stop it. Y'all are thinking it. It's a little try too hard. I kind of get that impression. So anyway, that's, you know. And then of course, the couple other things. Let's see. We've got, we were talking about the DEI, Walmart rolling that back. Very good. Oh, and then CARE. You guys remember CARE? The Council on American Islamic Relations. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:44:08 They were once linked to Hamas. They have to reveal their donors. They're being forced to reveal where they get their money from because an ex-employee blew the whistle and said, oh, they're accepting foreign funding. And they have to, this is what happens in defamation suits. So CARE, this was after a defamation suit. It filed against a former employee to shut them up. It backfired.
Starting point is 01:44:31 So see, when you file defamation suit, you're opened up to discovery. So now they have to reveal all their sources of funding. They thought they would file a defamation suit against this former employee, and now they've, now they've got to open up their books,
Starting point is 01:44:49 and now you've got to find out where all they're, I'm sure we're going to be surprised. I'm sure it's nothing that we've ever suspected. Right, Kane? Probably going to be total things that we just, we are going to be shocked, I'm sure. said nobody ever. All right, today's stupidity came.
Starting point is 01:45:04 All right, Juan, this is cut to. Dan Goldman is a Democrat. So typically I don't really have to say much more than that. For you to get a gauge as to where he is intellectually. Cut two is Dan Goldman offering the only possible explanation for this particular action. Listen to this. I think it is a shame for justice in this country.
Starting point is 01:45:26 It establishes that Donald Trump is above the law. The Supreme Court put him above the law in that opinion that Paula just mentioned. But now he appears to escape full accountability for what were crimes charged by. So them not getting their drummed up charges any validity is now Trump being above the law. Right. So this is what the left will tell you. Maybe even at Thanksgiving dinner, don't fall for it. Don't fall for it.
Starting point is 01:45:55 Folks, I hope you have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving. We are grateful for all of you. that we get to join you every single day and hang out. God bless. I will be back on your next Monday.
