This is a concerning number for Democrats, are you saying? This is a concerning number for Democrats because it's considerably worse than they traditionally do in midterm elections when there's a Republican president. Harry Ann. Thank you. Yeah, Democrats are not doing very well. They're not doing well because they've, I think that they really made it to where they gave the keys to the kingdom to the radicals. There's a lesson to be learned in here giving the keys of the kingdom to the radicals. the radicals who aren't, they're not concerned with affecting change. And that's one thing that you've really got to understand about the left. Radicals anywhere. Radicals are never about

the things that they say they're about. They're never about equality. They're never about small government. I mean, there's no revolution in history. I mean, look back at the thermidorian reaction and the French Revolution and all that good stuff. None of those people ever were, they never ever were about any of the things that they said that they were about. They were about actually getting power and maintaining power and having complete control. It was always about control, not actual real change. And that's the, that's the important thing to remember, because that's what the way it is with the left. Like look at, you know, AOC and Mandani and all.

I mean, how look at any leftists that gets into office? When you see these leftists, when they get into office, what do they actually do? It's all about expanding government control. Every single bill, every single thing that they propose. That's what it's always been about. Welcome to the show. Dana Lash with you. We got some stuff to discuss today.

We got a lot to hit today as we get you set up for the rest of the week. a lot of things to touch on. And one of them is what is happening with the left. And I think it's important because I always think some of the stuff that the party does can be a canary in the coal mine for the GOP even. And with this, as it pertains to the GOP, we're just talking about national polling, right? You were hearing some of these people on some network that don't have us watch, but they had a moment of honesty because they were so shocked. themselves that they nationally the party is not tracking it's not building they're not built they don't have any momentum they don't have anything to build off of they haven't done a forensic of their defeat really even from 24 they haven't done any of that and so the way that the public is

reacting to them nationally they're turned off New York City is an outlier. And I do think that there's a cautionary tale in terms of the socialist taking over the Democrat Party officially. This has been building for a long time. I've said for 10 years that the party's already been socialist. They just refuse to adopt the name. Pretty much not at this point they have.

But the whole point that the public nationally is rejecting them. New York City is an outlier. It is weird. like Chicago, New York City, I just will never understand the people who love statism and then they want to wallow in the sewer and then that because that's what it creates. He's going to win, as you know.

He's absolutely going to win. That is without a doubt. He's going to win and that's just the way that's, I don't know what Manhattan's going to do. They're going to have to deal with it, but he's going to win. So then what? All hell is going to break loose in that.

city. It's going to be a disaster. The ones on the left, they're too afraid to stand up to the hardcore, the Marxists and the socialist. There's no, there aren't any more moderates left in the party. In fact, one of the things I have here to get into is the lack of moderation in the Democrat Party. There isn't any. And then we're going to get into some of this other stuff. Like, for instance, Mandani had said his aunt, remember, I told you this yesterday, his aunt, wasn't his aunt. Wasn't it his like deceased, distant cousin? Yeah.

Like distant cousins. So this is like not even a first cousin. The cousin of his dad. Oh my gosh. So like a second or third really. Not even anybody he knows. He just made up the story. He made up a story because he's a racist.

Imagine making up a story to try to shame people who were victimized by 9-11. He's victimizing 9-11 victims. That's what this is. shame on him what a what a horrible person shame on him we're going to come back to this because i have an update too we got a big story that dropped if you're a subscriber over at chapter and verse Lorraine has an exclusive because you know not only is he lying about his amp but apparently he's lying about lying about where his donation money is going to now the snap funding expires it's set to hit 40 million people i am just trying to wrap my mind around the fact that 40 million

people are getting Snap came. Oh my gosh, 40 million people on Snap. There are more people on Snap. Most of the people, in fact, there was a couple of studies. Whoa, what about the work ethic here? I think maybe, I don't care if it's in a popular opinion. It should be the only opinion. I think if you're getting government benefits, you suspend your right to vote. If you're receiving government benefits, you should not get to vote for the duration of the period in which you were receiving government benefits. Because the government is essentially paying you off. That's it. And you could say, well, that's un-American.

You know what's an American is stealing tax dollars from other people to fund a lifestyle of people that are abusing it beyond a safety net? I don't even support it for a safety net. This is what I'm talking about when I see the difference between conservatives and Republicans, and most Republicans don't have the balls to do this. So when anyone sits here, whenever anybody calls me an establishment, they are really the establishment, because I go way further in terms of limiting government than they could ever have the balls to dream of. That's the truth of it. I don't even believe it should exist for a safety net. That's what individuals, private charities, churches, that's the safety net.

The safety net is not the government. So I don't even agree for it for temporary any of that. And I say this is someone who has raised broker than probably anybody. watching, I'm going to pull out all the cards today, probably anybody watching, I was in, I was seriously in some poverty, single mother eating gravy, milk gravy and biscuits every day for a meal because it's all we could afford. And my mom refused to go on the governmental. She was too, God love her, she was too proud, not going to happen. So she worked three jobs. So don't tell me that it can't happen because I had a single mom who worked three jobs.

So I know sure as hell that it can. The point is, is that it shouldn't even be a temporary thing. So if someone wants to say that it's un-American or cruel, I think it's cruel to rob people, other families that are trying to provide a roof over their head to rob them for individuals. I mean, it's over half that are abusing the system egregiously to have a free lifestyle funded. That's the truth of it. 40 million people. That's a significant percentage of the population. So that's un-American to demand that other people fund a lifestyle while you abuse it.

So no, I don't think that you should be able to vote while you are receiving taxpayer-funded entitlements. End of. And for the smart eloquent wants to go, what about Social Security? My mother will fly to your undisclosed location and whoop your aid of snakes because that's their money. That's our money that's stolen by the government. You financially illiterate drive by. Anybody who would say that, stop. I'm talking about receiving welfare. You should not be able to vote while you are on the taxpayer dole like that. Bottom line. And the fact that we have 40 million people and it is billions of dollars a month and it only grows. So don't tell me it's a temporary. thing. It has expanded every year since its inception. So immediately the argument that it's being

mostly used as a temporary safety net has been obliterated by fact, by actual data that comes in from our federal government, which measures the recipients. So no, it is not a temporary thing. It has grown exponentially over the years. And you're essentially, the government is paying you. They're paying you, paying people who are receiving benefits to not work. So if you are not working, look, I'm very biblical about it. Neither shall, if you don't work, neither shall you eat. If you want to get really American and Christian about it.

There's a difference between the widow and the orphan and the people who are struggling and the people who are abusing the system. And that's the vast majority of those, sadly. 40 million people and it, I mean, it grows substantially every year. Guys, that's not temporary. So no, we're essentially paying people to continue expanding government. That's what this is. You're paying people to expand government. We have a lot more on this. And Zoe and Mamdani, we reached out to his campaign to get a response to this story and there isn't one. But long story short, There's some money missing, some charitable donations that he was supposed to steward that he apparently

failed to do. And we're going to talk about that in an exclusive story coming up. As we move, the people who help bring you the program, this organization, by the way, does so good. They do so many great things because you know abortion is the number one cause of death globally. And even though Roe v. Wade was, was rolled back because of a better, more logically adjudicated Supreme Court case doesn't mean that people aren't getting abortions. I mean, they're getting abortifacients now. They're doing like the morning after pill, all of that. That's 60% of abortions now. So what preborn does is the women who are considering eliminating the life within them because they've been told by society that they're not strong enough or that it's too hard for them to raise this life born of an unplanned pregnancy,

pre-born meets with them, they introduce them to their baby through a free ultrasound, and then they partner with them for the first two years of their lives, the baby's life. And when women hear, and there are three different independent studies, one is recently as 2024, which confirmed that when a woman hears her baby's heartbeat for the first time that babies change that life doubles. And so that's what pre-born does. They're saving lives. Imagine if one of the lives they save is save is one of the people who come up and, you know, with a cure at all of these, you know, diseases. It'd just be amazing. You have no idea what the future holds. $28 provides a free ultrasound. And if you want to support babies in a big way, you can do $15,000, which buys a whole machine, a whole ultrasound machine.

That can go in a needy women's center. Think of all the lives for years to come that you're saving. Legacies, families. And they partner with these women, maternity clothes, diapers, counseling, support to make sure that they get off on the best foot possible. Your gift is tax deductible. And this is a real way to spend money that actually you're spending money in the kingdom here and beyond. So will you answer the call? Pick up your phone dial, pound 250, say the word baby.

That's pound 250, baby, or give securely at preborn.com slash Dana. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick 5. Boy, oh boy, say a prayer for Jamaica because Hurricane Melissa is going to be a record. It's a Cat 5. It is going to, it's making records as the strongest in what? Maybe one of the top five strongest hurricanes they're saying. catastrophic flooding. It's making landfall in Jamaica. That island is not going to look the same after

Hurricane Alyssa. Then it's going to target eastern Cuban, Cuba and the southeast Bahamas. So this is, it's bad. There were stories of birds that got caught in the eye of the storm, and they couldn't, they didn't have the strength to get through the walls of wind surrounding them. Isn't that horrific? Americans, let's see, move this, they wanted to, they went the NFL to move the Super Bowl to a holiday weekend. Quintapiac had a survey and apparently they also favor expanding regular season to 18 games. I don't want it to be on a holiday weekend. What holiday weekend would you have it on? No, I don't want it on a holiday weekend. I am not sharing like a Thanksgiving or anything else with the Super Bowl. Not going to happen. Not going to share a single thing with it. You know why? Because then

everybody rushes through their meal. They rush through the Thanksgiving part to go and sit in front of the TV and watch Bull Gates. I'm not doing that. So no. Kane, where are you at on this? You're over there laughing. I mean, it already will happen for Thanksgiving, so there's no getting around that. But we're talking about a holiday somewhere in the February range.

Well, there is there. I don't know. Easter? I'm not sharing. No. No. I only said that to trigger you. Sorry. Oh, my gosh. All the dogs all of a sudden started barking because my voice got up into a very weird pitch.

Let's see. Also, Amazon's going to announce the largest layoffs in company history. Maybe they'll keep the good drivers who don't throw packages in the street. That would be great. So they're going to be, again, a fresh round of job cuts on, actually today, according to CNBC. It's going to be the largest to their corporate workforce. It's only going to be corporate, though.

Boo. It sounds like they just got too top-heavy. So it sounds like. Air traffic control staffing problems spiked over the weekend as well. This is how bad it is. Everybody's got to clean up booty juices mess. We got a lot more on the way. Ma'am Donnie and, oh boy, the woke ride.

Our partners that help bring you the program, it's the folks over at Superbeats. And you guys are very familiar with the Superbeats folks. You're familiar with human. What makes their story different is where it began. Human was found out at the UT Health Science Center, and it was built on real cardiovascular research around blood flow and nitric oxide. Unlike other supplement brands, human science-born, not just science-ish. their products work and you can feel them working. U.T. athletes have used superbeats for over a decade

calling it their cheat code for recovery and endurance, and you can use it for the same reasons to support healthy blood pressure and circulation. Today, more than 160 college and pro teams use human products, so your favorite team probably does too. And if you've seen the human logo on the Longhorns field this football season, that's more than a sponsorship. It's a signal from human and UT, together leading the future of cardiovascular health for athletes and everyone. Clinically studied, key ingredients recommended by doctors, pharmacist, and cardiologist, pick up superbeats at your local Walmart and start supporting your cardiovascular health today. Get on the road to better health with human.

Brighten up your timely news consumption with a Dana Show podcast, where every update comes with a little dash of Not So Serious on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts. So, in a recent address, I've talked about you referenced your mark, some of the deep of the He was facing place 9-11. Is that a blood run with this? Yes, that's... I was speaking about my aunt. I was speaking about Zarafi,

my father's cousin, sadly passed away a few years ago. And for the takeaway from my more than 10-minute address about Islamophobia in this race and in this city to be the question of my aunt tells you everything about Andrew Cuomo and his inability to reckon with a crisis

It tells you everything that you need to know the fact that the guy had to legit make it up. Kane snorting. Hang on. Give him a minute. He's over there. It's hysterical. He just crumples up into a wall and snorts. How the hell?

Is it not somehow telling of how he lies? It's more telling the fact that Cuomo was talking about my non-existent dead aunt. Sorry, aunt. aunt wait can I sidebar I'm going to come back to this for a moment can I just sidebar real quick I know some people in the

South do this and I'm not passing judgment on you so don't hate me but to me when I hear aunt I'm like that is so snobby right it's like pinkies out so snobby when I hear that am I the only person that thinks that

excluding you people in the South that say God love you right what do you say I've heard it on Like whenever you hear it pronounced with the awe Oh my pinky goes up I'm like oh are we now Auntie more that's what I think I never think of it as a pinky up thing though You don't? Yeah my auntie

Why don't you think? It sounds snooty I grew up in North County in St. Louis so It was just my auntie I don't care if you're in the hood or if you're in I don't care where it sounds like Would you like some gray Poupon? If you're not saying aunt Yeah I'm like

aunt. You're just snooty? Yes. Okay. Just like if you say wash, that's so snobby. I cannot make that. The one accent that I cannot do to save my life is the Boston accent. I cannot do a Boston, and a Texas one, really. I cannot do a Boston accent to save my life. Can listen to him talk all day long. It's fascinating the way they do their vowels. Fascinates me, but I cannot. But the way, they're like really like wash. That's when I don't say Warsh, which is the proper way to say it. Totally. But I don't do aunt. So whenever my point being is whenever I hear Zohon, Mamdani, and he sounds like the name of the fortune teller and that movie Big, by the way,

and they totally ripped off the graphic for that fortune teller in Big. Remember the magic one that makes Tom Hanks turn into a man and then there's some weird, like, you know, stash to a toy rate that happens. Wasn't it? Zor. Yeah, it was like the great Zoron. I'm not kidding. Swear to you, I'm not kidding. knew it was familiar and I'm like, that's from big. Anyway, problematic movie. But, yeah,

you can say Auntie. Now, Auntie's fine. I'm all right with Auntie. Aunt. Aunt. Would you like some great Poupon, cane? But of course, have you met my aunt? I feel like he's trying to be pretentious when he says that. So anyway, he made up a story about a dead distant cousin. and claimed it was his aunt. I don't believe that she was, I don't even believe that she was in the United States. I don't believe it. I think she was probably like in a sand dune somewhere overseas.

I don't care. She, he made it up. And then the fact that he's mad at Cuomo for, for pointing it out, that's not an example of any kind of bigotry. God help me, I'm defending near Cuomo. It's not like a sign of his bigotry or anything. It's Zoran Mandani lied.

Oh, yes, my, it's like somebody lying about their grandmother dying for the umth, thousandth time to get out of work. Or their brother and husband. Or their brother husband, if you're Illinois. So, yeah, I agree with aunt or aunt even aunt. But he lied. Now, here's another story about him. This is an exclusive over at chapter and verse.

So if you're a subscriber, you got this already. Lorraine spoke to a very interesting source. This is a very interesting story. Now, you know that he's got a lot of shady things in his background, Zohan Mamdani. You know that he was out there campaigning with an unindicted 9-11 co-conspirator whose entire family is serving life in prison because they were running kiddie terror training camps in New Mexico. This is all verified.

You know that he took money from terrorist groups. If you're tied to terrorism, you're a terrorist group. If you're facilitating terrorism, you're a terrorist group. If you're facilitating terrorism, you're a terrorist. terrorist. There's no, that's it, black or white. He took thousands of dollars from communist China and he's gotten over $13,000 in illegal campaign donations from foreigners. But there's more. So there was a leaked email chain that was raising accusations that he may, looks like he pocketed over $12,000 in donations that was meant for a community food,

effort. So this was money that was donated to Muslims giving back. So he was supposed to be kind of like the pass-through guy for it. He was supposed to give half of this money to the Astoria Welfare Society, right? So the Astoria Welfare Society was supposed to get half of this money. The other half of this money was supposed to go to some meals project that he supposedly created. I don't know. But it was, the other half was supposed to go there. And so according to these, these emails that we exclusively obtained back in 2020, you know, he was, he was already misleading donors about where their money was going to go. He was running for it as an assemblyman. And his headquarters, they were, it was in Astoria, New York, right? And he was supposed to be, he offered his office, which was a, you know,

storefront brick and mortar. He offered the usage of his office to the Astoria Food Pantry and the Astoria Mutual Aid Society. And he had like organized phone banks and, you know, to make sure that everybody, a phone bank campaign with the Action Network, he wanted everybody to make sure that they saw him doing these good deeds. He wanted to be seen, right? And he made a huge part of his campaign, all of this. He like centered it around these organizations, right? and he would fundraise for his campaign, but he wanted some of the shine of these food distribution programs to rub off on his campaign, right, and give him legitimacy. So at some point during Ramadan, he met with Gustavo Guerrera, who is a music producer

who was looking to work with some of these local charities and help out. So then Guerrera had a friend named Mike Dean. They were selling T-shirts during COVID, and they were using all the profits to help the various causes because, you know, Manhattan was really hard hit, and they were really shut down pretty tight. So Guerrera says that Mandani had introduced him to the Astoria Welfare Society and they, Guerrera and Dean had agreed to donate 12,500, but the purpose was that at least at a minimum, half was supposed to go to the Astoria Welfare Society. And the other half would be able to go to, you know, the welfare or the meal program that Mandani had created.

Well, in the leaked email chain, which we have on Substack, he first, Mandani first was suggesting putting this money into one of these other individuals, their account, right? And his personal bank account. But then when Mike Dean was asking about a 501c3 because they were looking for this tax designation, that's when Mandani suggested sending it to a third-party organization called Muslims Giving Back. So they were giving $12,500. They wanted to be able to have the tax deductible donation in order to get that deductibility. It had to go through one of these like 50C3s, right?

501C3s. So that's when Mandani suggested, well, why not send it to Muslims giving back? And that's the guy's personal bank account that Mandani first suggested, depositing the money into, he also work with that group. So, long story short, they agreed to accept the funds on Mamdani's behalf. And then what happened to the money after that? Nobody knows. Nobody knows. Somebody said that the Astoria Welfare Society maybe received $500 of the $12,500 they were supposed to get when they were supposed to get over $6,000. And Mandani was quoted, Lorraine. notes in this Grub Street August 2020

story saying that they raised all this money for this, you know, project and apparently the difference that the campaign, that what he said the campaign raised and what the campaign actually noted, the difference was basically $12,000.

So that seems like that's, I'm telling you what, it sounds like he kept the money that was supposed to go to a food distribution program. So long story short, you have had 12,500 that was donated to a 501c3 that was supposed to pass through, half go to Mandani, and then the other half to the Astoria Welfare Society. And then the Astoria Welfare Society got

500 when they were supposed to get at least $6,000. And nobody knows what happened to the money. There is nothing there. Now, I want to tell you, there are people in politics who have been fined by the FEC for this, for less than this. majorly fined. In fact, one of the offenses, I think, that put Illinois Omar over the top was like $13,000. And she got a major five figure, a high, almost six figure fine. She got a major fine for this. In fact, I think in Hillary Clinton's campaign, when she was running for Senate, I think she also got fined by FEC for something to this, to this scope. So the Astoria Welfare Society did not get the money that they were, that they

were told they were going to get. So Zohranman, Ma'am Dani looks like he pocketed $12,000, like, you know, $12,000 for this charity. That's insane. That is insane. Now, no one in New York, no one in Manhattan, apparently, so the people that were obviously upset because this charity had been essentially robbed, they were trying to get local media in Manhattan to pay attention to the story. Well, local media in Manhattan is all in for Mamdani. they're not running any negative press about this guy. This is one of the things I was looking at last night.

There's barely any negative press in local media about Mandani and Manhattan. They are protecting him hardcore. So they wouldn't. And it wasn't just these individuals, like the charitable organizations themselves were trying to get them to pay attention to this story. If you're a small charitable organization, especially during a time of economic uncertainty, $12,000 is a lot of money.

That is a lot of money. That is a lot of money. And they exist to distribute food. Right? They're in a hard hit community. They're trying to fill the need that government, that a lot of people who want big government would exploit to expand government. I'm all for private citizens doing private charity.

And I think that whenever they are done incorrectly, whenever they are done wrong, I think you really, I mean, they really deserve. that adjudication in the press and in the media because they're private people and they're doing this of their own free will. This isn't the government forcing it. So this is a, it was a privately funded food distribution network that was robbed of $12,000, presumably by Zohran Mamdani because he was the last guy to see the cash and nobody knows where it went. Now is that not something? no one in Manhattan is going to talk about that. Now, that just goes onto the pile of stuff that's already wrong with this guy. All of the foreign donations. The fact that he was legit campaigning

with a 9-11 unindicted co-conspirator whose children, that Saraj Wahaj, legit every one of his children are serving life sentences. Because they were busted running a kiddie terror training camp in New Mexico. They were legit. arming like nine-year-olds teaching them to shoot and they were training them up to go into schools, going to public places and just start shooting. Not kidding. That's

in all of the affidavits that's in the charging down, everything. They were convicted, life in prison. That's all of his kids. All of his kids. So, Mamdani already has some problems. So where's the $12,000?

We reached out to his campaign. We gave him a full 24 hours to respond and they refused to reply. I don't know. Maybe now they will. We'll see.

You can go out and get a job just the way the rest of us go to work. And you can pay for your own stuff. stuff instead of demanding that we pay for you. That's how that works. Yeah, if you got all the energy to do that, you got the energy to walk down and go get a job. Pretty easy. It doesn't make any sense. There's too many damn people on Snap. Snap is ridiculous. It's ridiculous. And before people go, well, I can't believe you don't have a of a heart for the unfortunate. Shame on you. You know who else is rendered unfortunate? All the Americans all across the United States who are struggling under the burden of overtax

taxation, which we went to war for less than what it is now. Just let you know. We are struggling under the burden of being overtaxed. And you're telling us that we owe it to you to do more. You got families that are struggling out here to pay their bills. You've got veterans that can't even get the care that they need. But yet people who refuse to work have their hands out. Now, sure, there are people who do use it as a temporary safety net that doesn't make me agree with its purpose or existence anymore. But at least they're honorable enough. and motivated enough to use it as a temporary thing. But no one owes you a living.

No one owes you food. No one owes you a full fridge. No one owes you a damned thing. That's on you. And you all have only yourself to blame if you can't come through for you. If you can't come through for you, why should anybody else? And that's the truth of it. So coming up, a number of things.

There's a lot of discussion on the right right now about why. anybody would, I've never said his name on the show and I don't like him. I don't even want to say his full name. That Fuentes guy. The guy who says he's a white supremacist, but also he got caught looking at gay porn literally during a live stream. That's true. I don't know. Seems twinkie. Anyway, what's the purpose of treating that person like an intellectual heavyweight or even giving them the opportunity to try to mainstream them? We're going to talk about that coming up. Stick with us. As we move our partners that will bring you the program, it is our friends over at all family pharmacy. If you want to

a flu kit, the sinus infection kit. Hallelujah. They also have Lateeas, ladies. They got everything you could think of. Menbendazole, NAD plus, methylene blue. You need it. They got it. I mean, actually, everything ships two to four days.

Like mid-december, mid-late December. It's actually funny. It was December 18th. I remember because that's an important date to me. And that's Joseph Stalin's birthday.

I'm a fan. Of course, the Twink is a fan. Oh, he's an admirer. But we don't need to go into that. Okay. Full disclosure. First off, welcome to the program, Dana Lash, with you. We're at the top of this.

Second hour. That is, I can't, I don't even want to say his full name because the, but that's that Fuentes guy, right? He's this, like, weird little twink. who was loathed by Charlie Kirk, by the way. And previously, most of the turning point staff, I should put out there. Because of stuff like this. I mean, he's trying to be such an edge lord. And it's just, it looks kind of sad,

especially because he got caught in a live stream with gay porn, but whatever. I mean, you know, Hitler was apparently a twink too. So, you know. But I can't, I've known Tucker for a long time. And Tucker was very helpful when we had our big fight with our school board here during CRT. And he helped amplify that. I've, you know, I've done election coverage with him at Fox, you know, where we're on set for hours at a time. I've met him in person.

I've, you know, I considered him, you know, not like a, I'm not best friends with him, but, you know, he's a friend. You know, we're friendly. I have texted with him. And I texted him earlier today, too, because I like to be able to tell people. people that I know. What are you thinking? I don't want to just, you know, for clicks. I know everybody's a click whore and that the monetization of X, which pays for engagement, has completely revolutionized political discourse to the point where we throw, like that we go after the lowest hanging fruit and then people make bank on it. That's why you see people tweet stupid stuff. And that's why everything is

very antagonistic because antagonism makes people money. So that's why it's, and I think it's the worst mistake Elon Musk made with X personally, but it's not mine and I'm not running it. So that's just the way it is. But I had messaged Tucker earlier like, dude, and he always responds, but I haven't heard back from him on this one. And I'm sure I will. But, you know, I always like to say something or at least talk to people privately. And I don't like to go out and, you know, blast people. For all these people out there who try to sit here and tell me no enemies to the right, unlike them, I actually know these people. I basically grew up in this industry with these people. And, I think that you, there's a difference between attacking, disagreeing, and then also Christian

discernment. I cannot imagine calling yourself a hard-hitting journalist and having someone like that guy on your program who's basically sitting here fluffing the, you know, memory of Joseph Stalin, who is an atheist, by the way, a really hardcore atheist who literally, as part of state policy, promoted godlessness and not push back on him. Joseph Stalin, a godless atheist that killed millions of people, having a guy sit across from you and proclaim his love of this dead, failed revolutionary who murdered people and hated God, and talk about his devout love for him and not push back. By the way, these are some of the people who say Christ is king also, and they don't say Christ as king is a way to worship Jesus.

they say Christ's king is a way to blaspheme and try to beat you over the head with it. Meanwhile, they worship godless atheists like Joseph Stalin. You see what I'm saying now? This is the woke right. They practice the same identity politics as the left because they are the left. Their policies are no different from the left. I just can't imagine calling yourself a hard-hitting journalist and not pushing back on that. And he sat there as anybody shouldn't and just had an expression of

whiskey tango fox truck come across his face. That's the moment he should have been full stop. What are you doing? What are you doing? I've known Tucker, like I said, we're not besties and we don't have Sunday dinners and we haven't done anything. I've talked to his dad before who's passed away. I don't recognize this person. I don't know. Like I said, I'm not there every single day and we're not, you know, BFFs, but I don't know, maybe something, I don't know. I don't know. Just to give you another idea of the guy that was interviewed, this is audio cut 29. Listen to this one. It's, by the way, not for the faint of heart. Whether he chooses to confront me or not, whether he has dignity and honor or not, it's just a matter of time.

My ideas are already there. I've already impregnated your organization. I took turns. I took turns turning point USA and I f***ed it. I took your organization. I took your baby turning point USA and I f***ed it. And I've been f***ing it. And that's why it's filled with groipers. That's why your whole crew. That's why the people around you. That's why your chapter presidents. That's why your attendees. They're all groipers. So whether you choose to confront me or not over the honor of your turning point USA, it's immaterial to me. He's talking about Charlie Kirk. And remember, this is the same guy that got caught with gay porn in a live stream, by the way.

He got caught with gay porn in a live stream. It came up on his screen, apparently, by accident. And everybody saw it just want to put that out there. And the video exists, and I also have it. So I got the video of him getting up happily publish it out there. I just thought it was interesting. He's so obsessed with fornicating with an organization, but can't get a real girl. Why would you platform someone like this?

why I don't get it I understand the people who say well you know this is not cancel culture if you think that Christian discernment is cancel culture you need to spend more time in the gospels and less time on X if you think that Christian discernment is cancel culture you need to spend more time in the gospels and less time on X it's not about whether or not someone has the right to speak it's are they worthy of mainstreaming into the movement? I mean, good grief. Even Paul had to do his time after he was Saul before he was welcomed in to be one of the greatest disciples. Come on. This is what's mind-numbing. This is the stuff that's going on on the right. This is happening on the right right now. Charlie hated this guy. And there's tons of texts out there. I'm not going to

posthumously speak for him. He speaks for himself. I'm just pointing out the text that are that are online that exist. I'm pointing out the tweets from their staff that are online and already exist. Nobody needs to make up words to put in their mouths. They already spoke for themselves on these issues. Who would sit down and interview someone like this? Let's play cut 27. This might be some insight. How do you explain Mike Huckabee, Ted Cruz, and they're a lot like that John Bolton. I mean, I've known them all George W. Bush, like Carl Rove. I mean, all people I know personally who I've seen be seized by this brain virus, and they're not Jewish. Most of them are self-describe Christians.

And then the Christian Zionists who are, well, Christian Zionists. Like, what is that? Right. And I could just say for my self, I dislike them more than anybody. You know, because like, what? Because it's Christian heresy. And I'm offended by that as a Christian. That's why.

So I think, so what he's talking about, how do you define Christian Zionism, Kane? Because Christian Zionism is just the belief that Jewish people have the right to the land that they have historically lived on that's supported by thousands of years of antiquity. It's just the Christianity's support of that. Right. So what does he find heretical about this? That's what intrigues me. I think he was making in a previous podcast the distinction between who God was speaking about when he said Israelites in the Bible, as opposed to what we now know as Israel here today. But it's simpler than that for Christians as it relates to the label of Zionism.

And I think they're taking that muddy water and they're trying to make something else out of it. Right. So I think he had mentioned like Mike Huckabee and who else. Mark Levin. I like Mark Levin. Mark Levin has been a straight shooter for as long as I can remember. And is he saying that he finds it heretical, the belief that it is the fulfillment of like some like, like, prophecy or a biblical prophecy that basically foreshadows the second coming of Christ.

Yeah. And is that what he's talking about that what he thinks is heretical? I think so. I mean, I know a lot of Christians that believe that, but I feel like that's being conflated because there's not a good enough job that is being done, in my opinion, to clearly articulate the difference between, you know, biblical doctrine and then also the belief that people, I mean, it's not up for debate. I mean, there's thousands of years of history, recorded, documented history from every single walk of life, from the Zoroanastrianism, you know, Islam.

you know, Christian, I mean, everywhere where these people have been in this part of the world on that land for thousands of years. That's not up for dispute unless people want to dispute all of thousands of years of recorded history from every walk of life, every color and creed. It seems like it's purposefully conflated as a way to undermine that claim. Does that make sense? Do you think that that's legitimate? Is that how you, do you see that, Kane? Yeah, I mean, I see that that's the attempt. Yeah.

And even if, now let's just play, you know, devil's advocate for a moment, for lack of a better phrase. Even if you believe that people who think that, even if you believe that, what does that have to do with supporting a people's right to exist in the land that has been historically theirs? for thousands of years. Right? I mean, there are Christians who believe that and believe that it portends the second coming

and all of that other stuff. But I really feel like that's kind of a distraction from the larger point, but it's conflated to undermine the support of people to live in the land that has been theirs

for thousands of years. You know? And I don't think that, I think there's also a way if you are a person of faith, if you're a Christian and you don't believe that, I don't know what, philosophy theory or perspective, I think it's unfair to lump people in to conflate the two. But I also think it's unfair to denigrate those people because what harm does that belief pose, especially if you're talking

about overall Jewish people living in Gaza. That's ultimately what we're talking about. Are we not? We're talking about Jewish people living in Gaza. Thousands of years of antiquity that support their presence. That's what I'm looking at. And it feels like a conflation to undermine the legitimate claim of presence that the Jewish people have in that area. That's my perspective on it.

Wait, you're supposed, okay. This one town is warning people to be vigilant around clowns. Why do we have to do this every year? Wait, what town is this? I can't even say it. Abergavenny?

Abergavenny? Uh-huh. Okay. An Abergavenny man is urging people to be vigilant around people with bulbous noses who are badly fitting. I mean, it could be J.B. Pritzker, for all we know. He said, be careful about clowns. Why is this a story? This is a weird.

Anne? I'm scared of it. I accidentally started watching that. I was doing debate prep, and then I fell asleep during it. It's the good one, too, with it. thought that one dude. All right. You're like, what? Okay, so suspect the cocaine found in a trick-or-treat bag. It used to be razor blades. Now it's cocaine. We hear this every year. I never found anything in my candy. The only thing that I found in my candy that was horrible is like a probably expired tutsy roll that would crack your tooth open.

Those don't expire. Um, dude, that you could actually probably use them as ammo. For real. Not even kidding. The one, you guys know what I'm talking about. You, you know, you would get the hard ones. You're like, What is the... Oh, yeah. They're horrible. Let's see. Snickers were the best. And Reeses, they were the best.

Let's see. A 12-year-old died. A 12-year-old died because he inhaled linux deodorant, lynx deodorant, and a TikTok challenge. He died from inhaling aerosol deodorant. Why would you inhale aerosol... I call it croming, and it's horrible. Is that...

That explains some of the... Flintas stuff, I guess. Yeah, anyway. All right, we got a lot more. we're on the way. Don't go anywhere. Stick with us. Sometimes makeup can be super frustrating.

I will freeze the rent. I won't defund the police.

I will make buses fast and free. I won't decriminalize misdemeanors. I will deliver universal child care. I won't require everyone to eat halal food. He's Santa. This is, this is, this sounds like a punchline. This is literally, this is literally in a push pole to New York. Yorkers saying that I'm going to make halal mandatory.

And it's like, if you do want to eat halal, like go to 34th Avenue and Seinway, go to Mahmoods, but I'm not going to force you to go there. Look how he's deflecting. Like, he's throwing out all of this stuff. Oh, free things, X, Y, Z, but also, I'm not going to make you eat halal. What he's doing there's like,

remember, I'm a, I am a protected class. Therefore, you must give me the benefit of the doubt and have a protective sentiment towards me, which is why I'm stating this. And also, like, let's just, you know, let's get over all of the other big government policies. It's a distraction. It's a deflection. Welcome back to the program,

Dana Lash with you. Can we just go really quickly back to this was cut? Eight. This is a flashback cut. Listen to this. The importance for me of international solidarity is that it takes me out of the American political landscape that reminds me just how tame some of the things are that I'm actually calling for or that I support. And it reminds me of the necessity of grounding ourselves in the struggles as opposed to the fights around the struggles. For anyone to care about these issues, we have to make them hyperlabel. We have to make clear that when the move of the NYPE is on your neck, it's been laced by the IDEF.

We're in a country where those connections abound, especially in New York City. You have so many opportunities to make clear the ways in which vast struggle over there is tied to capital's interest over here. Did I

hear him correctly? The boot of the NYPD, it's been laced by the IDF. Let's throw everything in there. I hate cops, by the way, don't like Jews. I'm Mamdani. I mean, he's got to throw everything else in there. He's, man, New York City's gone.

Get in there while you can because it's gone, y'all. Gone. If you want to go see Rockefeller one more time, do it because then get out. Yeah, the sooner the better. But we called that one a flashback. That was like two years ago. Yeah, I wanted to, I was going to, I wanted to couch that with. I mean, it's a flashback, but is it really, it's like barely two years ago. That's when he was like running for re-election for assembly, New York Assembly again.

so that wasn't because he's still in the middle of his term so that wasn't that long ago um i the whole thing is wild um i can't even imagine how he's going to reshape in the most horrific of manhattan because you have to remember he's got most of you know their city council they're on his side he's going to have like free reign no one's going to touch him Because he's going to have engendered all of this press. He's going to have the name recognition, which is most often misinterpreted by itself as a power, whether it is or not by people. They just want that adjacency. They're not going to challenge him.

He's not going to get any pushback and it's going to get worse and worse. This will be the point in which you'll be able to see the, you know, quick dissent. into a Marxist hellscape because everybody that is going to come after him is going to be worse than him. Democrats really foobarred this up. The fact that they were like, well, the only person we got is, the only person we got is Cuomo, Andrew Cuomo, that guy. The guy who killed old people during COVID because he was shoving COVID people in nursing homes, wasn't prepared, decided to make it political. it's horrific. That's the guy that that was their best choice.

I saw a tweet and I, oh, hold up, but up, I saved this. I just got to find where I saved it. Give me a minute. I saw a tweet where someone said, and they had an end of their, one of their parents, disclosed, context, one of their parents was in the nursing home. They had parents, both of them, were in the nursing home. One of them ended up dying. One of their parents ended up dying because they contracted COVID from the people that Cuomo was shoving

in the nursing homes. So they blame Andrew Cuomo for killing their parent. And they had tweeted, Andrew Cuomo killed my father and I'm still supporting him over Mamdani for mayor. That's how, just so you want,

just so you know the state of things in New York City, that's it. That's it. But Cuomo ran, I've never seen anybody run a race, I think, as badly as he has. He's run a really bad race. Doesn't matter if Slee was in it or not. I mean, he just doesn't have a shot in Hades.

It's just not going to happen. It's not going to happen. You know, they track down because he wanted to try to defend himself from the accusations that he hates Jewish people, which he does. I'm sorry. I don't know how you can say that you don't when you refuse to condemn. very easy, globalize the intifada when you refuse to say that, when you refuse to condemn from the river to the sea, when you're campaigning with a literal unindicted 9-11 co-conspirator,

who again, all that guy's kids are in jail and life sentences because they ran a kiddie terror training camp in New Mexico, just FYI. I don't understand how anyone can think that you don't dislike shoes when you do all of that stuff. So he decided to try to avail himself of these accusations, and he came up with this ad. It's like this ad where he had Jews for Zoran, an ad campaign. One of the rabbis in the Jews for and as K. noted, yes, he can't legally freeze rent. One of the people in the Jews for Zoran ad campaign is, quote, from the free beacon, a train. transgender rabbi who was booted from a Biden White House event for disrupting the event for going off on Israel.

That's that's one of the people. Oh, yeah. Look at that. That sounds like a very orthodox person there, Kane. Somebody who follows the book by the letter, transgender rabbi who got thrown out of a Biden White House event because they went bonkers on. This is their ad. This is cut 24. This is the transgender rabbi for Zohran.

Listen to those. Jeez. Hi, rabbi. Hi, rabbi. Hi, rabbi. Hi, rabbi. Hi. We're among the thousands of Jewish New Yorkers who've been out door knocking and phone banking to elect Zoran, Mabani.

We're also rabbis. We know Zoran will fight to make our city affordable and safe for our families. And for our neighbors of all faiths and backgrounds. As New Yorkers, we're all. also just people who live here. Who don't want to get priced out of this incredible city that we call home. Remember that? All right, we're good.

One of these things is not like the other. First off, they're very pro-gris. I've never seen people like, yes, come at Sepaku. Like almost literally like that. Rabbi Abby Stein. Could you tell which one that feller was, Kane? Or I mean that lady. No, you're right.

It was a feller. Can I be, now, on a scale of one to ten, how honest you want me to be. Of course, 11. Okay, so it looks like he did his makeup in a moving car that was going over speed bumps with his feet. And he also had the lowest voice.

Hi, I'm a female rabbi for Zoron. Vote for me, a woman. I'm a woman. That guy. It puts the lotion in the basket orchids.

Excuse me, it's ma'am. It is ma'am. Just saying. golly he's the guy who he identifies as a chick and he's the transgender rabbi now he's headlining this ad campaign he's done some other stuff online for him he really does not like i don't even think he likes his own background when you hear him talk about it he does not like israel and it's not one of those things where i just don't like what herzog is doing i disagree with these statements or i disagree with this policy no they're not really didn't seem like they're

particular. They just don't like all of them. That's a problem. You know what I'm saying? That's like saying, oh, I really hate the United States. I hate those devils, the Americans. Well, what specifically, like do you, what policy? Oh, I don't know. I just hate all of you. See, that might be you're bigoted towards Americans. When you reverse that and you apply that towards any other nation, maybe even Israel, that sounds like you just don't like them because of who they are. You see what I'm saying here? That's where we're at. Half of these people who go out there who think that politics began the day that they were born. They cannot tell you a single thing about Israeli government, but they just know they don't like Jews. And then they want to sit here and blaspheme and say

Christ is king. Okay. My heavens. So, you know, I, I'm just amazed at how far. Well, am I the, I mean, he, if anything saves the radicals in the Democrat Party, nationally, it will be what they're doing in Manhattan. The rest of the party nationwide is turning on this, but not Manhattan. But then you got to ask yourself, are there going to be that many people left after all this said and done? I don't know. I just don't know. Not at all. We got a lot more. I mean, I got this. I got some stuff on SNAP because they're voting in the Senate and it's not going to work. What is this 13th? The 13th vote. Jiminy Christmas. 13 times. You know it's not gonna. And then we're gonna get into that. We also have, we got some stuff on, as you know,

the woke right. But I also have to say too, my husband and I are celebrating 25 years of marriage today. 25 years. Isn't that crazy? Because it doesn't feel like it's been 25 years. And I, it's been a very, very interesting and very fun journey. And I can't imagine it doing it any other, doing it any other way with anybody else. So we're very, very blessed in that regard. But, damn, 25 years, 25 years. I have zero issue with using lethal force to protect myself or a loved one. But I also realize that there are certain situations that we all, by nature, being adults and having to do what we've got to do in life, find ourselves in where we are disarmed by municipal or private property restrictions. And so in that instance, you definitely still need something that you can use to defend yourself. And this is where the burn a gun comes in.

It shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. Now, maybe you think I'm good. I'm carrying a stun gun, but that's like one or two shots. This thing, the CL, and that's the one I would suggest to you, it stands for compact launcher. The burner CL has a 15 round shot capacity per cartridge. There's no recoil, none. Easy target acquisition. So if you want to be able to protect yourself, but you're in a place where you're disarmed really from doing so,

this is where the burner gun comes in because it doesn't care about gun. free zone signs it doesn't answer them not a gun right uh doesn't answer to him there's no background check there's no fees there's no nothing they can send it right to your door this is a great idea for college students who are under the age of 21 but still have to be on their own to go to school uh you can find it b y r n a berna berna dot com slash dana it's the c l the compact launcher very small it's like the size of a phone b yrna berna berna dot com slash dana ready when you are It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man.

I don't know when people are going to learn. I mean, I guess because the last time we had a story, like this dude legit got bit by a gator. And he was fleeing from the cops, and he decided to hide at night in a body of water that looks swampy in Florida, which are big, bad no-nose. So this dude, hidden a swamp again,

new dude, after running from Florida, a traffic stop. This happened actually just yesterday. Lake Wales, Florida. A Florida man was arrested after he fled a traffic stop. Ended up in a swamp, according to Polk County Sheriff's office. They said that John Riff, that sounds like a fake name. John Riff honestly sounds like the name of like Patrick Swayze's deputy bodyguard and roadhouse.

Anyway, he, listen to the street name. He fled on foot from a traffic stop in the area of Shell Cracker Drive and Catfish Road. Where you live at? Right there up on shellcracker and catfish. That's where I'm at. I mean, what a crossroad right there. I would actually pay to rename my streets that. So he tried to evade authorities.

He buried himself in a muddy swamp. But guess what? You cannot out full. You cannot fool canine. They got him. He had some drugs on his person. He did not have a valid driver's license. And also, he's already on felony probation for position of men.

myth. That's mythed up, y'all. So he's in trouble. You're not, I'm surprised he didn't get gobbled up by a damn gator, if I'm being honest. Like, I mean, you might as well just, you're, it's like 50, 50. A Florida man got charged after a sucker punch outside of the Aldi, left the guy in a coma. Holy moly. Broward Sheriff's Office, they said that a Florida man has sought because he violently sucker punched a shopper and left the dude in a coma. They announced the arrest of D'Andre Johnson, 45, after publicly pleading for tips to identify him. It was in Lauderdale Lakes, and it's caught on CCTV. He's facing a charge of felony battery causing great bodily harm, permanent disability or permanent disfigurement.

And they did get a lot of tips, though. But it was like 7 p.m. at the Aldi, it captured the victim who was with his service dog. He got into a verbal argument with Johnson inside the store. Johnson's like way bigger than this dude. As he, Johnson then exited the store and waited for the victim outside, right, right outside the doors. And then the video shows the victim walking out with the service dog and then Johnson sucker punches him so hard.

The guy falls, strikes his head real hard, like bounced on the ground like a basketball. That dude is in, he's in a coma and he's got permanent injuries now. And I hope the dog's okay. And they said he, he was saying that the attack was provoked and he claimed that the guy's service dog had attacked him. that's not at all supported by any of the CCTV footage. So the judge set his bond at 100,000, and he looks like trouble. He looks like, I've got to, I have a very harsh, we don't have harsh enough penalties for stuff like this. I think you do something like that, then you should be put

into a coma. And then if you're burden on the taxpayer, you should be eliminated. It's not cruel and unusual. You know what's cruel and unusual is allowing people like this to plague free people like a virus, good and free people. You have no right to demand that they have to put up with stuff like this. These criminals thrive on the indulgence of a weak society's understanding. Anyway.

I want to plead for some prison justice in this one. I mean, you guys know how I feel. I'm all happy to donate to the commissary for prison justice advocates. It's all I'm saying. You know, people find Jesus in prison all the time. And then, you know, I'm just saying. Also, I got another one.

Hold up. This, no, not reading that one. Or this one. I told you about, well, Florida woman threatened up to blow up a high school over her daughter's boyfriend's missing lunch. Sounds weird. It's a true story. Brandy Covington. You knew it was a woman named Brandy.

No, I like women named Brandies, but they are rumbull, rumbly. She decided the best way to handle her daughter's boyfriend, not getting his school lunch. was to threaten to, quote, burn the school down and blow that blanking school up. Because that's exactly how you respond when something goes wrong in a school cafeteria. It all started when she called Rockledge High School's cafeteria, mad that the daughter's boyfriend had his lunch taken away because he didn't have sufficient funds in his account. Where are the boyfriend's parents? That's like, it seems like that's the boyfriend's parents' jobs to do.

Also, if he didn't have enough money in his account, he could have maybe just, I mean, clearly he called them and told them what happened, but he could have said, can you bring me some money so I can get some lunch? now she's like she's dealing with uh she had a post $75,000 bond she was in Brever County Jail this is crazy we have our third hour on the way stick with us our partners that help make it possible it's the folks over at Ammo Square they have you covered for all of your ammunition needs it's a very worry free easy simple solution you're collecting ammo for the future and you avoid getting caught empty handed everybody remembers panic buying of 2020 everything all the shells are empty ammo prices like basically

cost a kidney and everybody regretted everything. There's some bad, people settled for some bad stuff. I remember, you can choose from over 70 calibers, set your monthly budgeted ammo squared, and then let them curate your supply automatically. So you set up, forget it, ship it when you need it. And it's all stored in a secure, climate-controlled facility. It keeps your ammo fresh and safe until you decide to get it delivered. There's no minimums, no hidden fees. You get free shipping on orders over $250. Great. If you're trying out new calibers, you want to top off some training rounds, stay ready for whatever comes next. And you can join over 100,000 members like me and a community with thousands of five-star reviews. My only regret is that I didn't invent the business.

Visit Ammosquare.com, secure your ammo supply for the future. Do not run out when it counts. Stock up before training. Restock after it to stay ready. Ammosquare.com tell them Dana sent you. What do you say to those constituents who are worried about feeding their families? Well, this is the most cruel thing that the Republicans have done since the shutdown started. 42 million people are on SNAP.

That is basic food assistance. It is the most effective anti-hunger program that we have ever had. Is it, though, if it's so effective, then why does it keep ballooning? You can say that, well, Dana, that's because of its efficacy, or because all of the solutions that government has had to this issue have only made people easier in being in that situation as opposed to assisting them and getting out of it and rising above it. I mean, that's insane. I mean, you're talking about over 40 million people that are on food stamps.

Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash, with you. This is a, a, I was actually, I mean, I knew it was a, lot. Cane, did you know that it was like over 40 million? I mean, you knew it was a lot, but when you actually see the hard data, it's like, what the? It's crazy. That's, um, what is that like 12 plus percent of the entire population? Yeah, it's like over 11 percent of the population. So everybody think about that for a moment. Over 11 percent of the population is on food stamps. Now, here's the other question that I had on this. How many of the people are in the country legally? Do we know? Or illegally, rather. How many are in the country

illegally? I feel like that's a big thing, right? That's pretty, that's pretty huge. Well, we know that they were already getting an insane amount of government handouts. We, I mean, we saw that with USAID. I saw that for one of the USDA, and I was looking at this, and I went, I wanted to run this by because I don't, I don't believe AI. I can tell when somebody gives me an AI answer, and I cannot stand AI. Let me just caution you real quick and come back to my point. Be very careful about using AI for stuff. Because AI, first off, you can bias AI super easy in the manner in which you ask a question. If you want it to give you a conservative answer

or a progressive answer or a whatever answer, you can absolutely ask it verbatim to do that. But you can also intimate what sort of context you want your answer to come back to you as by the phrasing in the manner in which you ask it. So that's number one. Number two, AI pulls from,

data includes opinions on X. if it's GROC particularly. Data includes opinions, like on social media, editorials. It combs and it kind of takes a quick assessment of everything that it sees online because I have done as a test a number of things.

The only time I've actually ever really used AI was to try to dispute AI. And there were certain things that had got incredibly incorrect. AI has, especially like for instance with Second Amendment issues. I've been pouring over crime statistics measuring different European nations. I have a debate coming up compared to that of the United States.

And because certain countries actually underreport their murders and homicide murder are categorized and collected differently because homicide generally as a total can also includes, not can, but it also includes justifiable homicides, which is why the homicide rate always looks way, higher and there's no differentiation of that, especially in certain nations. And for instance, England and Wales only consider, they only count their cases if the suspect involved in said case is prosecuted. Otherwise, it does not make their statistics. And that comes from actually their own police in England and in Wales. So when you're asking AI, AI does not include these nuances and it will give you a completely wholly incorrect answer that is colorized by bias because it's pulling from bias. So it's not actually any better than basically a search engine. Maybe one day that will change, but as of right now, it's not. So you've got to be very, very careful when you're

looking at AI generated answers and going off that as gospel truth because you may be perpetuating progressive bias. So I went and I was looking at this data because I didn't necessarily trust it. And I was looking at household snap participation rates because they were saying that, well, when you break it down per census, and you look at Native-born Americans, and then you look at, excuse me, people who immigrated into the country previously when you would look at snap rates of actual, like, United States citizens, and this is something that would make people really mad. But actually, poor whites were getting quite a bit, followed like right behind by black Americans and urban communities. I mean, right behind it. I mean, it's very close. And it didn't take into effect,

you know, people who immigrated in the United States, et cetera. So what this examination did was it was looking at SNAP participants like from everywhere, not just people who were born in the United States, but people who immigrated into the United States. And the reliance is actually extraordinarily high. Now, there's an asterisk here. Immigrant communities. What does that mean? They're not illegal. That's the other thing. That's actually not being tabulated into this.

There is a significant number that are here illegally that are still receiving those benefits. And you can buy and sell benefits like that. Like with DoorDash, one of the reasons I don't use DoorDash is because, and it was on their website for a while, there are screenshots before they scrubbed it. they actually don't require, they were telling people, per the screenshots that are all over the internet and the website that was, that was way back archived before it changed, that you just needed a work identity, was it can a work identification number, not necessarily a social security number. And then also people buy and sell DoorDash accounts and they allow people to rent them. So you might have like Tiffany Smith. And then it could be like, you know, Mohammed Mohammed, who's like running the account. I mean, it's not necessarily Tiffany Smith. And that's, I actually started looking into that because there would be times that we would get things delivered and it would be like a female and then it was just like a six foot two dude who would, you know, drop off stuff at the door who totally did not look at all like, you know, the female who owned the account. And that's actually a demonstrably proven issue that DoorDash has. So my point being, in coming back to this, is that there's a significant number of people.

They said it was like 46% for Afghans, 42% for Somalis. and of course then that gets into Minneapolis that are receiving a significant number of or a pretty sizable amount of taxpayer money in terms of benefits. This is insane. It's absolutely insane. I mean, you're talking about thousands and thousands

and thousands and thousands of people. The largest demo is still poor whites, but followed closely by urban black Americans. But this is forced charity. I don't even think, I mean, you could sit here and get into the numbers. I actually think that that's irrelevant. All of the percentages of what race gets what is entirely irrelevant. This whole program is stupid.

This is an idiotic program. It is forced charity. It's actually not charity. It's welfare. And it has ballooned since it. inception. I mean, 11ty times what it was originally. It is clearly not being used as a temporary safety net.

It is being used as a lifestyle. That's why you got all these videos of people screaming about losing, I mean, these are like young people that can go out and work and they're screaming about losing benefits. As I said earlier, I don't think that if you're receiving government benefits, you should not, you should not be able to vote. I don't think you should be able to vote. If you're getting government benefits, if you are receiving taxpayer-funded entitlements

like SNAP, I don't think, because it's actually at a disadvantage to the hardworking taxpayer. The government is buying your vote. The government's buying your vote. And if you want to be able to vote, then you should work very, very hard

to immediately get off benefits. I don't have a problem with that, Kane. I mean, some of our founders didn't think you should be able to vote unless you own property, which I'm also not a... I'm really sympathetic to that argument. I'll put it like that. Very sympathetic to that argument. But this is wild.

This is unsustainable, guys. This is entirely unsustainable. And then you have Democrats out there. Republicans want people to starve. Let me tell you something. One of the biggest costs that families have to do. deal with is health care. In addition to their day-to-day living, health care expenses, their health insurance, coverage and care for their children, this is a huge issue. If you want to talk about the

cruelty of Republicans that are trying to save other hardworking taxpayers, by the way, these taxpayers are almost on entitlements too. They're so overburdened with high taxation. Healthcare is the health care costs because of Obamacare killing people. The subsidies, the fact that you even have to have subsidies is proof that it doesn't work. It's proof that it's not fiscally sustainable. But what's more, they fought against tooth and nail making it affordable. I always hear these accusations that Republicans didn't do anything. Let me tell you something. Republicans had not one, but they had three plans. One of them was really good. And that's one that, in fact, when Rand Paul was in the Senate, he was calling out saying that that needed to be brought up.

And I think he actually did the compliment to that in the Senate if memory starts. Now, this is back in like 2010. But there were three other pieces of legislation, each one of them better than what Democrats were foisting on Americans. And what was included in this is portability because they did not believe that the, they did not believe that people should have their insurance tied to their employer. You should be able to take it with you wherever you went. So portability, they did not believe in the restrictions and regulations that prevented insurance. companies from competing across state lines because who benefits when everyone's competing for your dollar? You do. You get lower costs, better service, better care, better plans, period.

You do. You benefit. They were, they also had really good rewrites of how insurance companies were handling preexisting conditions, the whole nine yards. Can you imagine having portable health insurance that you could afford, that's affordable for your whole family, that you could take wherever you moved in the country, didn't matter who your employer was. You would always have it with you. Democrats said hell no, and they fought tooth and nail to make sure those bills never got out of committee. That is fact. In fact, one of the bills, I broke down on my radio program live on air. That's fact. So whenever they tell you that the GOP didn't have any have any proposals, that's an outright lie. Now, of the three, like I said, all three were better than

the Democrat proposal of the three. One was better than the other two. It was like a gradient, you know, like Mama and Papa Bear and Goldilocks, right? This bed's too soft. This buds too. But they didn't want to make it affordable. So I don't want to hear these Democrats complain now about worrying of affordability for Americans when they did everything possible to break them, not only with burdensome taxation, but with the exorbitant cost of health care.

It's time for Dana's quick. This is a question. I did not have this on my pingo card. The Pope's new astronomer says he would baptize an alien. Pope Leo's astronomers, do you have an astronomer? Said he would baptize an alien into the Catholic Church. Father Richard D'Souza says, little green dudes, they would be one of God's creatures. God didn't say that he didn't make aliens, so that's why I'm not going to have like,

an existential crisis if they pop into the atmosphere, by the way. But yeah, he said he's a cleric who's been appointed chief astronomer to Pope Leo at the Vatican Observatory. And he said that, yeah, he'd baptize him. Interesting. An alien. All right, so, a man, this is a total, like, liminey snicket series of unfortunate events here.

A man's truck was flipped and then got hit by a train. And then I love all of these ads that immediately start playing. It happened to your Green Mountain Racetrack. This is in Vermont. A 27-year-old man rolled his truck. It was resting on its roof right on the train tracks. This was like a horrible action movie. And then the train arrived.

He was able to get out of the truck. He only had minor injuries. The southbound train was unable to be contacted and collided with the truck. So there were no injuries and the crash is still under investigation. A shooting suspect targeted a neighbor over concerns of a horse getting too fat. that's okay a man is accused of shooting his neighbor and uh yeah it was in it's pole county actually this could have been a florida man technically no at well it's at houston he's a this was in florida was houston man uh he's being held in pol county jail with no bond 39 year old is charged with aggravated

assault with a deadly weapon and he's also being held on aggravated assault of a family member as well related to a harris county uh in texas case so they The victim said that the neighbor, the instigator, shot her in the arm because he was upset that she kept feeding her own horse that was kept on his property with permission. He did not want the horse to get fat. So instead of, you know, amicably discussing it with the neighbor, he decides to shoot her in the arm. You know, this is why alien, this is why the Pope can't baptize an alien because they're not going to come visit us because of this kind of stuff. Oh, look, now they're trying to do these stories again. They're trying to say Ivermectin is to blame for the death of a Colorado woman.

But it's not. I don't have time to get in the story because we have Senator Marshall Blackburn coming up. Stick with us.

You can listen to the show all across the nation, Dana Lash with you, Channel 347, Direct TV, the simulcast of it. 14 times, I'm losing count of how many times Democrats have voted to keep government shut down. It's going to be 14. It's 13 now. Now soon it's going to be 14. They really don't want. I'm all right with government not being open, but I know we've got to get some things done, joining us right now from one of my favorite states in the union, Senator Marsha Blackburn from

the beautiful state of Tennessee, also a gubernatorial candidate. She joins us from D.C., and I know she's going to get ready to go and vote. Senator, always good to have you. Are we at 13 or 14 now? You know better. We're at 14. And the Democrats continue to vote to keep the government shutdown but bear in mind Dana this is the Schumer shutdown he had wanted this for months and they're wanting it because they want to basically spend one and a half trillion dollars over the next seven weeks again a big part of their goal is to give health care to illegal aliens and also they've always looked at Obamacare as a step toward government-run socialized medicine

And they think if they can keep the Biden COVID credit bonus that was put on during COVID. Remember when they took the caps off, you didn't have to have any income verification, and there were zero dollar premiums. And you could be making a half million dollars a year and get a COVID subsidy for an Obamacare plan. Well, they think if they can make that permanent, then it helps them get more people on Obamacare, which helps them get closer to government-run health care where they control what kind of insurance you have, which would be government, what kind of doctor you can see, which controlled by the government, what hospital you go to, and what kind of health care you get. So that is their goal in all of this.

And as they've said, they don't care if people are suffering. They know people are suffering because they're not getting SNAP benefits. But they're okay with that because it gives them leverage and they are power hungry and control hungry and they want that leverage. I can't imagine, Senator, if you had gone on television and said, yes, this is leverage for Republicans to use for us to get what we want. You know the pushback on you would be so great, but they can say it, and the whole party's like, well, yeah, that's pretty much exactly what we're doing. I hope voters see this. It seems like they are because the polls are in your all's favor. Yes, indeed.

And whether it was Catherine Clark, who's in the House, or Chris Coons, who's in the Senate, they've talked about wanting leverage and using people suffering to get leverage. I mean, this is just so unseemly. It's a clean CR. These are numbers they have voted for five times in the past. They need to do their job, continue the current funding level, open the government, and then as we get to the approves bills, which, by the way, eight of those came out of the Appropriations Committee on a bipartisan vote. There's 12 bills. Eight of them are bipartisan. Then that's where you discuss what the actual outlays are going to be. And it kind of, for those joining us, we're talking with Senator Marsha Blackburn from the great state of Tennessee.

You know, it seems to as, I mean, we're still a little bit off from the election cycle, but it does really seem like the left is, and Democrat parties really trying to use, you know, the suffering and the, as you said, using it as leverage. But this kind of dovetails into what they've been doing in terms of political violence as a way of agitation, as a way of building momentum to support them. When they have no policies to engender support either, I know that your performance. preparing for a hearing on political violence to tell folks the subcommittee on the Constitution hearing on left-wing politically violent attacks, which is absolutely a threat to constitutional order. Tell me what you're hoping to uncover and show the public from this hearing. Yes. Yes, indeed. And what we know is the Democrats under Joe Biden and previously under Barack Obama, they weaponize the federal government. And we saw it with the Biden.

DOJ, the Biden FBI, where they went after conservatives and parents at school board meetings and pro-lifers, even eight of us in the U.S. Senate, were surveilled by the Biden FBI and DOJ. So we know that has happened. We know they've also, after Charlie Kirk was murdered, we have seen some of the comments there. So we're going to cover that this afternoon in the hearing. Michael Knowles from Daily Wire, Michael's the Tennessean. He's one of the witnesses for this hearing today.

We're also going to hear from Chad Wolf as we look at these threats that are being carried out. And it's so interesting, you'll hear the Democrats say, well, it's from the left and it's from the right. Well, no, the violence is coming from the left, and many times it is violence against the right and also the left. But the violence seems to be centered. It is those groups on the left that are carrying out the violence and the threats. And they're very well organized and very well funded. And very well funded, yes. Is there a chance, and this is where I know what I know and I know

what I don't, but this is your wheelhouse? Is there a chance of like, I don't know, some kind of RICO investigation? Because clearly these organizations, they're all. linked together. I mean, it's, you know, it's all public, open secrets, open the books, all of it. And, you know, whether it's, you know, promoting and funding bail funds all the way from BLM, even going back to Antifa from Chaschop and all of that, all very well connected, very well funded with the, you know, obviously explicit purpose of fomenting violence as a way to chill dissent and redirect energy for voting. Is there a chance of something like that? Do you think enough evidence can fit that bill for that to happen?

Yes, I do indeed. As we work through these investigations and also as the House, we're ready for them to come back to work, but House judiciary also beginning to look at who is doing the funding on these groups. And yes, indeed, you're correct on that, and there will be investigations into who is actually funding this. As you said, they're well organized when you have people that have all of this equipment, they have all of these supplies. It is all new. It is very well organized. You know that somebody is putting a lot of money into this. And the sad thing is, too,

is how many people under the Biden-Harris administration, even going back to Obama Biden, I remember us Tea Party groups. I mean, we had our tax statuses blocked by, you know, the same government that bends over, the same Democrat regime that bent over to help these groups. One last quick thing. I know that one of the things that you're looking at is this Arctic Frost probe, where you had Chris Ray, Merrick Garland, targeting GOP groups, you, as you just mentioned as well. And the receipts, there are plenty. Documents prove it. Yes. Yes, there are. There are so many receipts on this Dana that Jack Smith has actually said that he would come in to testify, but he wanted assurances he would not be punished. So he is telling us in that statement,

basically, that he knows he's guilty, that yes, indeed they did this. And they got a subpoena, they surveilled U.S. senators. They went after these conservative groups. Thank goodness. business, Cash Patel has fired every one of those attorneys, FBI staff that worked with Jack Smith. But Jack Smith needs to come in and testify. And as you said, Chris Ray wrote the memo on this and Lisa Monaco and Merrick Garland signed off on the memo. And basically it was a, hey, we think there might have been some activity here that could

be alleged to have not been proper and we want to go look at people that supported Donald Trump and look at Donald Trump. It was one of those big wide net fishing expeditions and all of these people need to be held to account and we intend to hold them to account because it's a clear violation of our First and Fourth Amendment rights, the separation of powers, the speech and debate clause, the Stored Communications Act. Amen to that. We're going to be watching the Senator.

We know your time is short because you've got to race back to the floor for another vote. We appreciate your attention. Thank you so much for your fight. You got it. Thank you. That's Senator Marshall Blackburn, everybody from the great state of Tennessee. That is, you know, she's mentioning, you know, with all of the money and the funding that's been going into all of these, you know, whether it's anti-ice or anti-

in all of these different cities, I mean, we know that it is part of a trend. from the left. Again, going back to the Tea Party days when they were using the IRS. And that's why Lois Learner had to resign. Everybody remembers her. She was the head of that charitable division or that tax-exempt division at the IRS, the 501c3s, the C-4s. And I know, I mean, our group they were messing with, the Richmond, Virginia group was the one that really, they came down on them. There were a handful of them where they were delaying their paperwork, denying them in certain aspects, so that they could not properly organized because at some point when you're accepting money for the purpose of, I know, I get it, you know, money free speech, this stuff is kind of an anti-1-A thing, but this is the way the

law is right now. But they were doing everything that they could, I think, not only to silence these groups, but also to tie them up so that they would be in violation of some sort of FEC regulation and that then there could be penalties applied to them for wrong think. I mean, that was the whole. So there's this huge trend. I mean, they've been doing this for so long. I mean, you guys remember Clinton weaponized the IRS. He was going after people who were in conservative talk radio in the 90s, Bill Clinton. This is for fact because again, receipts always come out. He was going after people who were television personalities at the time. I think it was Bill O'Reilly was one of the guys that he actively went after for criticizing him in the 90s and was using the IRS to do it.

Barack Obama did the same thing. Joe Biden did the same thing. The crazy thing is that Republicans, you never hear about them weaponizing the agencies like this. It's only when they try to get them an order that everyone calls them fascists. And by the way, sidebar, of all the people that are in my timeline, and I can tell most of them are foreign bots, none of them can spell fascist. None of them cane, not a single one. I mean, I was taking, I'm trying to, I think I'm going to do a separate post about it on substack. I had like 30 some odd accounts. none of them can spell it. Nor can they define it.

And you know that it's a SIM card or a phone in a rack somewhere because they, I mean, when you're on X, it underlines it for crying out loud. Like there's a red line underneath, so you can just order to autocorrect. It's not going to do that if you're a phone in a rack, is it? Just saying.

I agree. That ballroom better be torn down. That arc to Trump, if it ever goes up, it's going to be torn down. Well, it's going to have to be at least de-gilded. Let's put it that way. And then that arc to Trump that he's putting up. I don't even understand what that is. We've got to look at that. But the point is that's not enough, right? That's what? It's a free ballroom. Like, who among us, you get a free gift? He's paying for it and private donors have paid for it, not a cent of taxpayer dollars. What is the problem? No, we wanted the, the crappy asbestos. low ceiling office spaces that weren't being used except by the first lady for some of her secretaries. Yeah, we wanted that. It says nobody ever, except for statists. How stupid is that? I mean, literally heads of state would have to walk in the mud if it rained in order to just enjoy dinner or some time with the president. Yeah, we can't have big state dinners inside. They all had to be outside. And one of my friends, who is a member of the White House press pool, always hated whenever they would do state dinners when it was cold outside, because that's, It's cold for the, they were complaining.

They're like, it's cold for the press. But also the bathroom situation was abysmal. I mean, that's not, we're the United States of America for crying out loud. We have, we, we should be able to do something like this. And I feel like a lot of these people don't know how this works because they're accusing the people of funding the ballroom like meta, the Winklewals, all that of trying to curry favor with the administration. They act like Trump is going to pack up the ballroom with him when he leaves at the, when he terms out, that he's going to pack up the ballroom and take it tomorrow loggo with him you know it stays there right

it's not like a polypocket situation where it's just like do do and one and done like it stays there and god forbid if it's a democrat that's in office they'll get to use it so stop freaking out this is you're making an issue out of nothing and it looks ridiculous it's it stays there and i don't mind the guild you know cocoa chanel was wrong when she said less is more lies more is more i'm a matter maximalist. More is more. So you know, ladies, if you're in front of a mirror and you got your earrings and your ring and your bracelets on, you're supposed to take off one thing. I say no. I say add one thing. Add it. No to minimalism. But I only dress in black and white, not because I like postmodernism, which I don't. Modernity is heinous. It's just because I can't dress myself.

It's easy. I'm not going to lie. So anyway, these people are ridiculous. I mean, just better take it down. You want to tear it down out of spite. Guess who would pay to tear it down? Taxpayer. Then what are you going to do in its place? The taxpayer would do it. They want to saddle you with more debt because they're so petty.

That's how stupid this is. Today's stupidity came. All right. Well, it's the same person that, what's her name, Julie Roginski? I don't know. All right. Well, apparently, this is what she believed. This is why Trump is building a ballroom.

Listen to this. Question is. isn't Donald Trump to decide who succeeds him as the nominee? Nobody's going to succeed him. He's going to succeed himself. Let's just be real. He's not building that ballroom because he's planning on leaving. He's not going anywhere and nobody's going to get him out of there.

So that's what it is. He's building the ballroom so he just never, ever leaves. It's not, that's not going to happen. I know that there's certain people that pay for play for their podcast that nobody watches. She's on TV all the time. Like all the time saying this stupid stuff. And she's still on TV. How?

I can't. Explain it to me. That's because he's not going to leave. I don't get it. I mean, this is not like undermining a free and fair election of 2016, where you were working with the Russians and then a disgrace spy to do it. But, you know, hey, what-ups. Folks, that's it for us today.

Happy anniversary to me and my husband, 25 years. And find us over at Substack, the exclusive story in Mandani, taking money from charities up there now. Have a great night back with you tomorrow.
