It's also important to understand why the pause came to an end. It came on end because of Amas. Amas reneged on commitments it made. In fact, even before the pause came to an end, it committed an atrocious terrorist attack in Jerusalem, killing three people, wounding others, including Americans. It began firing the rocket. I'm so done with it.

I'm so done with all of these. I'm so done with you on the same talking points over and over. And then guess what? You get to turn on cable news or get to listen to some dip-wad. podcast and it's the same point over and over and over and over and over again. What has changed? What has changed? What has changed? Either get out of the way and let people finish it or shut up because doing anything otherwise drags this out needlessly. Why is Anthony Blinken even going over there lecturing Israel about doing anything? Why is he giving press conferences about, well,

this is what happens? Now we all remember what happened October 7th. We don't need to hear talking head after talking head after talking head after talking head after talking head tell us about we we know what happened what are you going to do about it stand aside and let them finish instead of going over there and putting your hands up and saying stop stop we have to consider the humanitarian reasons we've got to consider humanitarianism well you know what humanitarianism in in many instances and this is why war as hell gets thrown by the wayside especially when you're trying to root out an enemy that will absolutely refuses to allow you to live in any kind of peace. Welcome to the show.

Dana Lash here with you, top of this first hour. And that's the other thing. You have Kamala Harris, audio sound by one. Listen to this. Kamala Harris decides to where, I guess she was done with the border and guns and whatever else she was dictator of. She went over there to, or gave these remarks, rather, on, wait in on Gaza. Listen.

Five principles guide our approach for post-conflict Gaza. No forcible displacement, no reoccupation, no siege or blockade, no reduction in territory, and no use of Gaza as a platform for terrorism. We want to see a unified Gaza and West Bank under the Palestinian authority. And Palestinian voices and aspirations must be at the center of this work. This is tiring to hear it over and over again. It is. It is because, as I told you last week, Palestinian Authority lost control. I mean, they were displaced by an election. The people don't want Palestinian authority. You know what colonization and appropriation is? Kamala Harris is going over there and telling them,

well, you have to have Palestinian authority control. You're going to have it. It's not going to happen. You're not going to have Palestinian authority because they were already pushed out of the way by Hamas. So she says, well, you know, it has to, we went to Palestinian, which is again, a fictional name for made-up country and made up ethnicity. I mean, you might as well just like, you know, talk about, just make up a country name and apply it. Same thing. Same thing. But when she's talking about placing it all under the authorities control, the authority lost control. They lost control. End of. End of. So why are we still pushing a failed solution? And the two-state solution, guess what? Hamas doesn't want it. And guess what? that's reflected throughout the citizenry because they enjoy overwhelming support, not just in

Gaza, but also West Bank. And then she says, well, there must be no forcible displacement or no reoccupation. What are you talking about reoccupation? The occupiers are Hamas. And everyone who came in after Israel unilaterally withdrew in 2005, everyone who came in after that, those are the occupiers, they got free land, free infrastructure, free greenhouses, free agriculture, free free water systems, free sewage systems, free energy systems, free all the things. It was one giant welfare handout to a people that had, according to thousands of years of years of antiquity, no discernible ties to the place. But to shut up the international stage, they were given this strip of land.

And then they demanded more. And then they elected a terrorist government that went out and tried to kill all these innocent people. And then when Israel defends itself, oh my gosh, Zionism, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I mean, history is easily rewritten for the stupid and the stupid believe it. So when she talks about no reoccupation, there's no occupation for Israel to live in land that has always been it. It's land. No siege, no blockade. Why don't you go tell Egypt that at Rafa Crossing. Why don't you go tell Egypt about any kind of blockade? No reduction in territory. What do you mean reduction in territory. Hamas controls both territories. This just betrays an absolute ignorance. She is,

she is nothing but a car hood ornament for this administration. She is a, an identity politic checking the box to have Kamala Harris as vice president. It's, you have two people who are in the highest levels of office. Both of them are nothing more than ornaments on a tree. Oh, it's absolutely true. She says it's sexism. I think it's sexism. I think it's sexism. to let a woman passed by doing mediocre work and just giving her a pat on the back because she's got a vagina. That's sexism. It's sexism to say, oh, wow, you're a woman. You made it here because you're a woman. How great. That's sexism. You either want equality or you don't. And if we're going to implement equality, she sucks at her job. End of. Now, and as, yeah, we made the point about

Egypt not even taking, nobody takes refugees from Gaza. Do you know what to know why? Because it's, It is within the culture to hate everything and everyone. The schools teach that their neighbor to the north doesn't exist. They teach that the United States is evil. Why do you think that there were hordes of people out in the street whenever they hand over these hostages back to Red Cross or whatever third parties they're brokering that agreement? Why do you think that there are so many people in the street?

Do you think all of them are Hamas? Do you think that maybe some of them, some of the thousands in the street, baying like jackasses, might be citizens? nobody wants to have this conversation because they're so terrified of being accused by a godless, moralist people of being, uh, and somehow participating in genocide. The genocide's what Hamas, the elected government's been doing to everybody else. Fight to the death on that language because it's worth fighting for. Asinine. Now look, think of this, the state side.

It's getting even crazier. They canceled the menorah lighting. They're canceling Hanukkah and. different Hanukkah events here in the United States. In Virginia, there was a menorah lighting that was scheduled for the Second Sunday's Art and Musical Festival on December 10th in Virginia next week. But it was canceled by the organizers. The festival's founder said that, quote, the concern is of folks feeling like we are siding with a group over the other, not a direction we ever decide to head. So for that woman to say that, the brainwashing has

worked on her. The sci-op, the guest, the guest, lighting has worked on her. They want you to be afraid to even make a display because, oh, we'll be taking size. Isn't that their religion? So Hamas can do, you know, whatever they want to do, but if you're Jewish, you can't light a menorah? Pound sand. No. They canceled menorah lighting so they didn't make the Hamas supporters upset. I think if you're a Hamas supporter and you're upset, you don't have a soul. I think you need to check yourself. What does it, what does lighting a menorah have to do with the attack that Hamas made on Israel. And when you cancel the menorah lighting, you're citing with Hamas.

I mean, you might tell yourself otherwise, but that's exactly what you're doing. Now, they had the United Jewish community of the Virginia Peninsula, these big old long groups. They did skewer the festival's actions. Rightfully so. They said, look, they said that the lighting had nothing to do with Israel or the conflict. They said it was appalling that the event organizer claimed. that the celebration would send a message that the festival was somehow supporting the killing or bombing of thousands of men, women, or children. And they even offered to reinstate it if it was done under a banner of calling for a ceasefire.

Blank your ceasefire. Not going to happen. So, yes, if you call for a ceasefire, then you could have it. Wait, Hamas violated the last ceasefire. What are you talking about? They violated the last two ceasefires. Yeah, they violated the ceasefire that was on October 6th. They violated the ceasefire that just, you know, was expired the other day, they violated all these ceasefires. What are you talking about? I mean, why are you holding Israel and Jewish people responsible for what Hamas did? I mean, that's if you're not a definition of anti-Semitic, there it is right there. So you're canceling events, and then you're demanding that people bend a knee to the antagonist. So you're canceling events and you're holding them ransom, holding them hostage, and saying that, well, you have to comply with Hamas lovers.

in order to be able to have your little event. I'd have my little event anyway. And any Hamas lover that got in the way, tough beans. This is not just Virginia, by the way. I mean, you've been seeing this everywhere. In Philadelphia, there was video that was out over the weekend, and it showed protesters in Philly. They were literally outside all of these Nazis.

That's what they are, Nazis. Well, by the way, we're all those jokers. We're all the people that have been calling the right Nazis for so damn long. Hey, your leftist jack wagon buddies are in. in the street actually being Nazis. Where are y'all at now? All y'all who are out there saying, oh, lawful gun owners are Nazis.

Oh my gosh, if you own an AR-15, you're a Nazi. Oh my gosh, if you disagree with government-run health care, you're a Nazi. You're a Nazi. If you disagree with my ideology, blah, blah. How often have you heard this from the left? Often.

So they stood outside this restaurant. It's called Goldies. And they were chanting, Goldie, Goldie, you can't hide. We charge you with genocide. Oh, they rhymed. Well, at least they can read. They surrounded the state.

this restaurant and they were screaming. I mean, what, what? I'm just trying to figure out why. This is like the 30s, dude. This is like the 30s. I mean, none of us were alive there, but we remember, we've read history. They vandalized the restaurant as well.

And the owner who of this restaurant donated the sales from his four restaurants that they own to medical emergency. response in the wake of October 7th. So that's anti-Semitism. They went after it simply because the owner is Jewish and Israeli. So that's anti-Semitism. They had nothing to do with criticizing Israeli government. It had nothing to do with talking about, you know, the legislative maneuvers of their governing body. They were going after this guy because they were Jews. And guess what? They didn't, they didn't arrest anybody. They didn't call the police out. Where's the Philadelphia mayor?

Nobody was arrested. Where's the Philly mayor? Oh, I know. The left loves acting like this to quote unquote mostly peaceful protest, don't they? Isn't that what they do? So coming up, a lot of people are wondering, okay, well, where's the UN on this? The United Nations, which is a joke of a group, and they should be disbanded, but I digress. All it is is theater. It's diplomacy theater that accomplishes nothing.

Because all the believe all women and the Me Too, all of this stuff, they were all scams. Nobody, you have not seen any of these big, giant international governing bodies condemned. what Hamas did to women as proof of that. We're going to talk about that. We have another dumb GOP debate on Wednesday. Kill us now.

We're going to talk about that. I know. I'm already tired of it. I think this is stupid. I think it's dumb for the RNC to even have done. I'm pretty much dumb with the RNC, I think, at this point.

I'm just finished with it. So, yay. I know. You're like, golly, Dana. What a Monday. Yeah, it is a Monday. You know, I'm tired of the debates. I don't want to watch another debate

for they're all going to a slap fight and say the same thing. That one guy, the guy who did the gift card, he's out. We'll talk about that coming up. Our friends over at the head rest safe, this is like the Christmas gift to get, because I guarantee you, you got somebody on your Christmas list, and they're really difficult to buy for, and it's kind of one of those people. Well, I guarantee you they don't have a headrest safe, and I guarantee you that they would be happy to have a headrest safe. The headrest safe is really innovative. It's the best vehicle safe that's out there. I mean, bar none. It got concealed carry magazine's Editor's Choice Award for Best in Class Vehicle Safe. Now, yes, it's designed as a gun safe,

You got a magnetic access door, user-friendly biometric fingerprint reader keypad, hard key, all that. But you can also use it, obviously, for things that are not guns, like medication or jewelry or other valuables. I mean, we're rolling into the holiday season.

He was gored and seriously injured by a bison that he tried to pet. He admitted that he was the idiot in this scenario. the move left him with a lacerated liver and an eight-inch gash. He was severely injured. He said that he was approaching the bison on his way home from an early Thanksgiving with his girlfriend. He noticed the herd of bison on the neighbor's property, decided to get a closer look. And he said, by the time I got to the fence, he followed me over, and I thought that was cool. He said, when he reached over to pet him, yeah, that's when he got good work.

You can't be doing that stuff. They had to do a go-fund me to help pay with his medical bills. They're doing a go-fund me because this guy is a blockhead. Who don't? Yeah, exactly. Is that not asinine? Seriously. Good grief.

So nearly, they said half of Americans, now between the ages of 18 to 29, live with their parents because nobody can afford housing. The rent is so high. Who is the guy? The rent is the, rent is too. He had the gloves. What was his guy's name? Rent is two damn high. Jimmy, I can't remember his last name.

He was hysterical. they said according to morgan stanley they said nearly half of all young adults in the u.s ages 18 to 29 live with their parents and they said that now this is a weird thing they said that the living arrangement is actually boosting the profits of luxury goods companies because people are buying luxury they're buying luxury goods is that not odd i mean like if you're out there buying luxury goods and you're still living a home with mom and dad maybe kind of reassess you know i'm just like saying maybe reassess They said that a lot of this was also driven by the pandemic, even though that aspect of the increase has edged down, they said. But, I mean, everything is, and inflation is really driven this. Everything is so expensive.

I mean, I get it. It's understandable. But that means we need to have a better, we need to have better economic policy. Vintage New York City subway rides are back every Saturday. Does that mean that, yeah, is the switch blades? Are they going to bring back switchblades? and do you get like mugged like in a vintage way? What's a vintage mugging like?

I'm just very curious. Did they bring some like old vintage grit and throw it around this way? Have your wallet, sir. Yes. Give me your wallet. And apparently the IRS says no, there's not going to be a fourth stimulus check coming in December. There's a man in St. Louis who faces 41 charges. He had a month-long crime spree.

41 charges. I thought I was busy. I thought I was busy. And a 7.6 mag earthquake hit off the coast of the Southern Philippines. Stay with us. We got more in store back after this.

This kind of a fight, the center of gravity is the civilian population. And if you drive them into the arms of the enemy, you replace a tactical victory with a strategic defeat.

So I have repeatedly made clear to Israel's leaders that protecting Pelicans, Palestinian civilians in Gaza is both a moral responsibility and a strategic imperative. Hmm. Well, you know, maybe you should have thought of that. I'm just tired of hearing these dudes. Did anybody, I don't recall asking what Lloyd Austin had to say. You could say, well, Dana, he's in us, but I don't care. I didn't put him there. Welcome back to the show. I'm not liking a lot of these cats today. Dana, Lash here with you. Bottom of this very first hours, we barrel towards midweek here. And we got another debate coming up, which I'd rather jump off the roof, break my legs off into fragments before I have to watch again. I don't feel like, I really don't think that I'm alone with this.

I really don't feel like I am alone with it. Really. So we'll come back to this. But he was saying that, you know, talking about Lloyd Austin here. And that was who just spoke, by the way, Secretary Austin. You know, it's protecting civilians. We'll tell that to Hamas because Israel isn't the one that. targets civilians. Why do we have to keep having to say the same things over and over again?

I mean, think about it. As much as you get tired of hearing it for the regular listeners, I get tired of saying it. How often do we have to say the same thing over and over again? I mean, it's clear, only one group targets civilians. Speaking of which, wait, let me pull this up for you. I had this, um, it's pretty wild. They had this huge, here it is. More proof. that Hamas uses human shields, et cetera. And the IDF had released this wild video of these tunnels that were going down into another hospital, another hospital that they found these tunnels, et cetera. And they released this video. It was another underground tunnel.

and the, I mean, I'm kind of wild how far it goes to these tunnels that they have. I mean, we, what, had like, they knew that there were like 300 miles of it, right? And they had evidence of all these hostages kept in these musty, dark tunnels that they found as they've been clearing out different parts of Gaza. Yeah, they've used them as, they've been using them as human shields. isn't shocking. It's not a shocking thing. They've done it. They've been doing this for quite some time. But there's all this video proof of it. Where are the people who were saying that that wasn't true? Where are they now that there's all this video proof out? And you can, they have on their body cameras and you can see it on their body cameras. They go into these tunnels and you can

see, you know, evidence of where they were like keeping people, et cetera, things like that. I mean, they have all that. I mean, I'm just trying to understand here. Where are all those people? people at? Are they at? All right. In addition to that, can we talk about this, uh, the latest, this stupid debate? Doug Bergram, he's the guy that was trying to get people to vote for him using this, uh, gift card thing. Remember he was saying, if you donate X amount, then you get a gift card. So we have a debate that's coming up, uh, Wednesday, Wednesday evening. And I am just I'm already done. It's going to be in Alabama. It's going to be at 7 p.m. Eastern, 6th Central. And it's, I think, what is the news nation is doing it? And so they had Vivek Ramaswamy barely met the guidelines. He had a very, very bad performance last debate. And apparently I think Chris Christie is trying to meet the polling threshold. And so it might just be, Haley. and DeSantis.

I'm not quite sure. We'll see. I don't think they've got it finalized. Because Tim Scott's out. If Chris Christie can't make it. Well, Ramoswamy will be up there. He barely made it. And I think it's, I don't know. One of the things that I've noticed in this debate is that

Nikki Haley has not backed away. And you can, I think as a politician, she seems fine. She seems very nice. Or as a person, she seems very nice. As a politician, no. I don't like her foreign policy. I don't like some of her domestic stuff. I think she is a Bush.

She's like a Bush politician. She's very, the whole idea of compassionate conservatism that a lot of the people who are in politics now and think history begin the day they were born, they think that's a brand new concept that they just thought up

and they don't realize that it's actually rewashed big government republicanism that created the Tea Party and also subsequently their jobs all this time later on. The irony is palatable. It's amazing. But she's backed by all of the people that I think DeSantis has been accused of being backed by. Like Paul Ryan is backed her, the Koch brothers are backed her. She's got the backing of Big R. Which would be weird if she got picked to be somebody's running

maid, especially if they ran on this whole thing about being against establishment, just saying. I mean, she is the establishment candidate on stage. There's not an argument. I've heard people try to say that about Ron DeSantis. And I'm not going to apologize, but you're wrong. I mean, not only you're wrong, but it's historically illiterate. I was in the T-I helped found the modern-day Tea Party movement. A phone call on Sunday, led the first rally in the Midwest. And I distinctly remember a group of congressmen that were forming what's now known as the Freedom Caucus,

the House Freedom Caucus, right? And the House Freedom Caucus did not get along with John Boehner at all whatsoever, at all. They did not get along with John Boehner. And they were pushing to remove him before we had had all of these fights of Republicans pushing to remove House speakers. And one of the people who was in that group was Ron DeSantis. He was in the House. He was a founding member of the House Freedom Caucus, which was a bunch of limited government, small government tea party types. and he did not get along with the establishment at all.

They hated him. They could not stand him. He didn't get along with Paul Ryan. He didn't get along with John Boehner. And he actually got a reputation for that. That now it's weird because like critics of his now try to say that that's like indicative of something. The only people that ever used that as a weapon against him were literally the big government butt kissers. They were literally this establishment shills.

those were the people that had all that tried to weaponize that and use it. I would love to have that reputation against establishment and big government. I mean, I would, I think now there are a lot of people in the house that try to campaign to have that and put on false errors. But he legitimately was very anti-establishment. So it was weird to hear all these, you know, and I think a lot of it's just stupid people that are pushing this operative nonsense out there. But I'm like, that's historically illiterate. I mean, anyone who believes that, clearly, and I busted my ass, so I don't feel like I have to apologize for saying this, because I've been in almost every state in the country. I traveled on my own dime.

I didn't get paid to do any of this. I believed in what we were doing. I mean, it was like, you know, the committees of correspondence and the Sons of Liberty kind of spirit. So I feel completely validated and saying that anybody who's pushing that wasn't there. They weren't there in the trenches. They weren't there with people who were. fighting against the health care plan. They weren't there with people who were fighting against the establishment. That's when the establishment was really, really powerful. That's when Newt

Gingrich used to be part of the establishment. And he genuinely was like, you know what, I agree with the way that the Tea Partiers were doing it. And he had a 180. And I give him a lot of credit for that. But other people didn't, you know, the Paul Ryan's and John Bainers, they didn't. And I think that the power of the establishment's been greatly diminished. But it's weird to me. me to see it kind of come back. And the fact that they've aligned behind Haley tells me everything I need to know. And so I hope that that's brought up in this debate, if there's going to be anything, because otherwise, I just, I think it's too much. Is it too much? Do you think, Kane? I mean, at some point, don't people get tired of politicians debating? Is there going to be

fatigue? Oh, there's already fatigue. And the media makes that the case, I think it's a lot of it by design. I think a lot of the designed peppering of you and all of the news feeds and every little bit of it is designed to make you tired of it and to stop paying attention. Yeah, I think so. I mean, I think so too. I mean, it is, I mean, I'm looking at this.

Yeah, I think it'll probably be just those three because I really don't think, I don't think that Christie's going to make the polling threshold, Meaning I don't think he's because you, I can't remember. It increases every debate. Every quarter goes up. So I just, I think it's just going to be the three of them on the stage. What are we going to discover in this debate that we didn't the last debate?

Who knows? Who knows? I mean, I really don't want to watch it. But I have to because it's my job. I really don't want to watch it. I know. We get paid for it and we still don't want to do it. Imagine people who aren't getting paid for it.

Of course. That's a great point. They don't want to pay attention to this crap. Yeah, they don't want to. And who would blame them? Who would blame you? Nobody blames you. Because it's too much.

It's way too much. Too much of it. Well, right when we get out from Christmas break, Iowa starts. And then it's actually serious go time. One other point, too. The discussion about establishment. because Nikki Haley is the establishment candidate. Again, she's been to South Lake where I live in South Lake, Texas.

I can say that now because all the progressives outed where I lived and so I might as well. Because they couldn't argue policies, so they decided to try to incite violence. That's typical left. But I'll say this. She's been to my town. She's been to fundraisers in my town. She's, I know people who've had fundraisers for her and they're friends of mine, but I just disagree with them and that's fine.

They can be wrong. You know, I say that jokingly, but I'm right. And that's not joking. But that's a big government candidate. I haven't heard a single thing from anybody about the action of removing the lawmaker from New York that has the most conservative voting record

of all the lawmakers in New York. George Santos. You can sit here and talk about all this other stuff. This is where I get very mocked. of Lian. I don't care what's his voting record. It's not my choice to devolve politics and diminish the importance of virtue to liberty. I didn't make that choice, but I absolutely will exploit it. If that means control of a seat, if that means advancement of legislation that I want, I do not allow a godless and moral opponent to determine the parameters of my moves.

I never have and I never will and nor should you. I think that Republicans voting to remove him is one of the stupidest acts of political sepacou I have seen in some time. Who are they trying to impress? Who are these people trying to impress? Because it's definitely not the voters. Clearly, it's not us. Who are they trying to impress?

All right, as we move, our friends over Hillsdale College. It was like watching, basically I think that the debate, last night was the difference between, you know, somebody who is maybe, you know, could have been educated at Hillsdale and somebody who wasn't. Let's put it like that. Hillsdale College is a small Christian classical liberal arts college in Southern Michigan. And they're all about the defense of liberty. And they believe that education is incredibly important to living free. I mean, you have to, you can't have one without the other. And that they were founded to offer exactly that sort of education needed to preserve civil and religious liberties. They were founded in 1844. They've been going. through pushing for that mission still today upholding that you can see a video showing you exactly how effective they've been defending american liberty not just on their michigan and dc campuses but just across the nation at dana four f or hillsdale dot com to check out everything that they offer because they have all kinds of online courses led by their faculty and scholars they have an amazing christmas video that's up right now that you're going to want to put on

repeat uh with their awesome choir to learn more about the mission of hillsdale college see everything that they have to offer visit dana for hillsdale dot com that's dana for hillsdale dot com that's dana for hillsdale com Hillsdale College, developing minds, improving hearts. Don't let FOMO get the best of you. Stay in the loop and ahead of the curve by following Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. We're seeing and beginning to pay attention and to count and record the deaths that are related climate and by far the biggest killer is extreme heat. I mean, even in Europe last summer,

which has the ability to count and figure out what happened, they recorded 61,000 deaths because of the heat in Europe. We don't have that kind of number yet from Africa, Asia, Latin America, but we know and estimate that we probably could measure about 500,000 deaths. And the majority of those are women and girls, and particularly pregnant women. You know, because the heat affects us differently. I wish she said pregnant women. Yeah. Don't shut up.

Don't you give her any credit. I'm not even, I'm not willing to extend that much credit. Stop it. That's Hillary Clinton. You know what? It makes sense that she's trying to blame. deaths on other things like weather. Is there at any point, Kane, in the soundbite?

Maybe you or Steve could answer to this. Did she go on into the, later on into this and say, well, you know, like Vince Foster, you know, he was killed by weather. Oh, yeah, no. Seth Rich. Yeah, killed by heat. Maybe the global warming heat. The heat from a bullet?

Yeah. Sometimes the heat can be so hot. It solidifies. which then such as the maps maps yeah I

just saying that I mean it makes sense that she would be try to blame other people's deaths on the weather and things like that that makes some sense think about it it makes some sense yeah I get it all right yeah the uh but the Ladies, King. Apparently, the weather hates us more than the men because weather is sexist.

Sexist. You didn't know that, did you? I mean, that's according to them. The weather's sexist. Now, see, this is what international bodies spend their time getting upset over. They get upset over things like weather and so mean to women. But what about what Hamas did to women and the female hostages it still has? I don't hear anything to you. I hear Neri a peep. Fascinating, is it not? Nothing from them on this, which is something we're going to talk about coming up. Also on deck.

A few other things. We got that debate coming up Wednesday. I can think of a million, 11,000 things I'd rather do than watch the debate. Like, for instance, I would rather take tensile off a tree, one tinsel strand at a time.

then watch the debate. That's one thing I'd like to do, you know? I would like to comb the threads that are knotted at the end of a rug more than I would like to watch this debate. You know what I mean? I'd like to do all those things more. But it's coming up Wednesday. I don't know. I know all the people in the YouTube chat are like, is there going to be a chat?

You guys are killing me. You're making me. I'm going to be full of meanness if I did it. I would be full of hatefulness and spite the whole night. I don't think you guys can handle that. I'm in a rare form. I don't think you guys can handle that. I'm just saying.

I don't think you want to subject yourselves to that. So coming up, we've got a lot. House Democrats, House Bidens, House Democrats are ditching Bidenomics messaging. That's number one. Number two, John Kerry says no coal plant should be committed or should be permitted to be allowed to be constructed anywhere in the world. What? I like that optic. They need to run with that hard into elections. Run head first. Leroy Jenkins style with that narrative into the election season. We got that more. Stick with us.

I already answered your question, Dana. I said it's horrific, and I think that rape is horrific, sexual assault is horrific. I think that it happens in war situations. Terrorist organizations like Hamas obviously are using these as tools. However, I think we have to be balanced about bringing in the outrages against Palestinians.

15,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli. air strikes, three quarters of whom are women and children. And it's horrible, but you don't see Israeli soldiers raping. Well, Dana, I think we're not, we're not, I don't want this to be the hierarchy of oppressions. Well, that's what you do any other time. You're doing it right now. According to whom? Well, who are those numbers from? Is that from the quote, Palestinian Health Ministry? Because if it's from the fictionally named Palestinian Health Ministry, then that's from Hamas and you're taking terrorist propaganda as a way to further inflict harm and injury onto innocent people that have already been attacked. That's Representative Jeopal who's saying that,

well, you know, we have to be balanced in our condemnation. I don't understand what that means. They do be balanced in condemnation. There's no balance to be had in condemnation here. I mean, you condemn the actions of the people that have carried this out and have been the, the, the main antagonist. What do you mean? What does that even mean? Israel is not out there raping women and children. That's Hamas. That's Gaza's elected form of government and the de facto form of government in West Bank. That's who's doing that. So what are they talking about? Welcome back to the program. Dana, last year with you, top of this second hour with you. And you can listen coast to coast. You can stream the radio program and you can also check out the simulcast.

YouTube, Facebook, Channel 347, direct TV. This whole idea of balanced and condemnation is a way to try to lessen the offenses that have been carried out by Hamas. And the number that they keep making up, they're acting like, well, all the people that have been killed in Gaza, well, if you believe Hamas's number, number one, but number two, war is hell. Hamas should not have carried out a monstrous murder rampage against. innocent people and then taken scores of innocent people, including babies hostage back into the

hellscape that they've managed to ruin Gaza. They did that. They're the ones that necessitated the action that we saw. So you don't get to sit here and say there needs to be balanced. No, this is why war is hell. These people want to have war according to a definition of war that doesn't exist. There are no rules in war. And if you're following rules, then you're bad at it. I mean, what is that, who is that they came up with a phrase? You know, if you're not cheating, then you're not. You want to win in war. The point of war is to have fewest, minimized casualties, minimize loss of resource. And as Patton said, you know, it's about getting the SOB, not to die for your country, but getting the other SOB to die for his.

that's a that's war they should have thought about this but they knew this they were they were willing to pay for this optic in the lives of the people that they govern and the people that they govern were willing to apparently have some of this I mean where does this come from I mean I just go back to the video where I see thousands of people on the street brained like you know donkeys

and and screaming at these shell shocked hostages that are being released and I'm like are all of them Hamas are they all civilians who are these people? Of course, this is Hamas that teaches in Gaza Strip that you hate, you hate Jewish people, and you hate Americans. So it's really not shocking. They've been doing this for over 20 years.

It's not shocking. But war is hell. And that's why these, if you didn't want it, then you should have done everything possible to make Hamas avoid doing what they did on October 7th. I mean, they kept saying that they hated Israel. They were going to do something.

saying it. You know what, to this point, let me pull this up. I don't know if you've seen this or not. You have, uh, their warning of a war bigger than the October 7th massacre. They're already, they're making more threats. They're saying, uh, bigger acts than October 7th are, quote, coming soon. I mean, they're going on their, they, the Hamas leadership from their super swanky palaces in Qatar, they go out and they've been making these threats on television over there. Hamas is one of their spokespersons, Hassama Hamden. He was talking with Lebanese media outlet, and he said that they're not far off from launching a war

that will be bigger than the October 7th incursion. That's what he said. Meanwhile, you still have all of these hostages that still haven't been released. Still haven't been released. This was interesting. Nancy Pelosi's daughter, you know, we played this audio soundbite coming in,

Premier Jayapal calling for balance condemnation. Nancy Pelosi's daughter blasted her for that. Democrats are having a civil war right now, like in their party. Because they have one side that apparently wants to look the other way against rape as a weapon of war. They want to look the other way against kidnapping babies. They want to look the other way. from everything that Hamas has done on October 7th. Christine Pelosi tweeted yesterday, quote,

do not minimize excuse, balance, or both sides, sexual assault. That is victim blaming. We've spent decades trying to undo in the laws and the courts and the hearts and minds of people. She says when you tie yourself into knots to defend rapists, you've lost your moral authority. Hashtag rape is not resistance. What? She said, Cain, I'm at this awkward moment where Christine Pelosi said something that is the opposite of the definition. I got to have a lot of words in here for distance.

The definition of the word wrong. I know. I don't know how to. And this is after John Fetterman went to a pro-Israel. rally over the weekend. What's happening? But Democrats are, they're in a little civil war right now over this. So she's blasted. Christine

Pelosi blasted Premier Jayapal for this. I mean, you have Hamas out there raping people. What do you mean? There's no what, what do you, what sort of what sort of balanced condemnation is there for that? Like what is she saying that a little rape

is okay? And that you should somehow pattern your condemnation. What is she talking about? What is stupid comment from a stupid woman? This is so ridiculous. This is what I'm talking about. Where's the whole believe all women thing? Where's Me Too? Where are the people out there me too in Hamas and believe all women to Hamas? I mean, they're using rape as, rape has been used as a weapon of war throughout the millennia, throughout human history. In 2023, when you, You have entire movements that some women have exploited and used to enrich themselves,

monetarily, have used to advance themselves professionally. And you have one of the, I mean, an epidemic, a mass, mass rape event on October 7th and probably after, with the hostages, I hate to say. where's where are all of the hashtags for this where are all where is all of this at instead i keep seeing oh we have to have a balanced response you have to have balanced you have to be balanced in your condemnation israel's not out there raping people they're not a they i don't care if you have a problem with israeli government or not i think a lot of this comes down to jew hatred like the people who are like well jewish people what well yeah but they've they killed this kid this

12 year old. You mean the 12 year old that literally was lobbying bombs at an IDF outpost? And there were other adults there with him that were also shooting at the, like, what are you talking about? What are you talking about? How many people have to die so you can, you can, to, to somehow be balanced with your condemnation? Like, what does this mean? Or they say, oh yeah, they, they imprisoned this woman. They imprisoned this 12th. year old who blew up an IDF outpost. How dare they? They imprisoned this woman who tried to detonate near another outpost

but a detonation didn't work. Oh, these are all like true stories, by the way. They took a 12 year old into custody because he was blowing up this IDF outpost, trying to blow up. But I'm shooting at a soldier's all this stuff. Hamas would have raped him and then shut him in the head.

All of these stories are coming out too, by the way. They are horrific. They are horrific. The eyewitness reports of all of these, all of these witnesses, especially, I mean, they talked, they interviewed hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of people from that Nova Peace Festival. And they saw countless women being raped by Hamas. Because they had a ton of Hamas.

I guess the location of that festival was relatively close to where one of the entry points into Israel from Gaza. so it's one of the reasons why there were so many. I mean, they were able to paraglide very easily into it. And the amount of sexual violence that occurred there, and it wasn't all women apparently too. I read another story where it was a young male. It's just unbelievable. It's just heinous, absolutely heinous.

And I'm terrified. I'm just sicken to think what has been happening to like these kids and terrorist custody. Have you seen these hostages that have been released? They're gaunt. They're gaunt. They're like a macea. I just put something else disturbing in slack. Oh, do I want to read it? I don't know if I want to look at it. Probably not, but it points to what you're talking about.

Yeah. I mean, it's just, it's horrible. All of this stuff is all of this stuff is going to be coming out. There's going to be so much more. So what is this balance thing? As I've said before, this is an attack on self-defense that's not just something that's originated in the U.S. It's everywhere. Like look at Daniel

Penny, just like for one moment. He was criticized because he didn't even have a firearm. He didn't have he defended himself against someone that was threatening other people. When you look at the bodega owner in New York, it's all around the world. This is a common thing where

the act of self-defense is being demonized. Israel is being demonized for defending itself. Just like, you're demonized here if you were to defend yourself or defend your family. I mean, for crying out loud, like there's litigation about it. Worldwide, the act of self-defense is under attack. They're priming you to be serfs. They're priming you to be controlled. They're priming you to not resist. They're priming you to not rise up against you. That's what it's all about.

It's sickening. We got a lot more on the way as we get rolling into the bottom of this first hour. and yeah you might have heard we got our Christmas music playing we got that going we have more on the way we got days of these United States still to come our friend Steve Yates is going to be joining us later on as well always good stuff as we move our partners over at Patriot mobile the only Christian conservative cell phone service in the country and they want to provide you with just great connection great service that's what it's all about and Patriot Mobile they I mean I know I know them I literally personally know though.

And now all of the news you would probably miss.

It's time for Dana's Quick 5. So this is a weird story. It's apparently parents do not realize. that kids are failing because too many report cards just simply say that they're getting A's and B's. Huh. They said that there's, this is something that they've noticed. Gallup and an educational, I guess, company published a survey of K through 12 public school parents.

And it said that nearly nine and ten parents believed that their child was at or above grade level, even after the pandemic. However, when they compared the parents of something, assessment to the actual academic performance data as gathered by the National Assessment of Educational Progress. They said that the awareness gap between parent perception and student performance is a massive problem. The actual percentage of students working at grade level is about 50% at best. Wow. And they said that they think what's driving the awareness gap is report cards. because apparently when you have one grade that just

it goes across everything and they don't break it down because apparently they've changed the way grading the assessment is shown on quarterly and midterms one grade ignores all the nuance and all of the other areas of mastery and it just looks it just looks like it's kind of covered up maybe they needed to kind of alter that because I do think it's giving parents

and they have a lot of receipts to back this up that does seem you know A George Stantles movie is in the works, of course it is, at HBO films, and it's behind the people who do VEEP, which I've never watched. So I don't know if that's going to be funnier if that's a good thing, but I can't, I mean, he is basically a character. But that's going to be very, guy with the most conservative New York lawmaker. And they got it, they kicked him out of the house. You're going to be kidding me. The House of Commons, this is some British news.

I don't like these two, so I think it's kind of funny. they're being told, I don't understand the process to this, but they're being told to strip that red-headed prints, the spare, and his super annoying Z-list suitcase brief girl, briefcase girl, wife who was on some like D-list cable show and she wasn't even a star on it. After the latest installment, they've been, I just think the couple's annoying, and I don't know,

like, how do you have a title and you're here in the United States? It's so stupid. It's just people are thirsty. Noise cameras are coming to New York to punish loud drivers as complaints surge. 23 and me says that hackers accessed a significant number of files about their user's ancestry. This is from TechCrunch. Okay, so I swear, like just three months ago, we had this about another one of these type of companies. I don't think those companies are safe, I think.

Stick with us. Our partners, our friends over at Keltec, you know, speaking of people not being able to feel like safe on the streets or just like safe, even in their own homes. This is one of the reasons why the P15 was created. Kaltek is incredibly innovative with the stuff that they do. And the P15 is no exception. This is the lightest, thinnest, double stack 9mm that's on the market, period. It's 14 ounces unloaded. Only 14 ounces unloaded. And it holds 15 plus one standard capacity rounds. Now, you have two different versions. You have your polymer version. You have your metal version. And the metal version has the really great vintage look and feel, beautiful,

classic wood grips, it makes it feel more uncomfortable. Same great modern sites. I mean, you got Tritem and Fibro optic front site, fully adjustable fiber optic rear,

striker fire reliability, really sweet trigger on it too. Same great capacity, both polymer and metal version. And the polymer version, you have that gator grip texture, easy, accurate handling. The performance is just, you know,

unmatched. I mean, it's the lightest then as 9mm that I have, double stack 9 millimeter that I have on my EDC rotation. That means everyday carry for some of y'all out there. If,

for a lot of people that are looking to get their first maybe concealed carry handgun or their first 9mm, and especially for you ladies out there. This P-15, people ask me, what would you recommend? This is one of the ones I always recommend. I personally involve it in my EDC rotation. You definitely, if you're looking to get a firearm, maybe for Christmas, this should be on your list. It should be absolutely in your everyday carry collection. It's the P-15 from Keltec. Keltec Weapons.com. Tell them, Dana sent you. Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts, because knowledge is your ultimate superpower. Governor, as you know, DOJ officials would reject the idea that it has been weaponized.

But let me ask you about my original question. The use of the word vermin. Are you comfortable with that term? But are you comfortable with that term, Governor? Let me just say on the DOJ, well, first of all, I'm responsible for my, what I say, and I say things differently. But on the DOJ and the FBI, I mean, we have seen.

Just on my question, though, Governor. Excuse me. What I'm not, what I'm not comfortable with is FBI agents going after parents going to school board meetings. I'm not comfortable with DOJ FBI working with tech companies to censor dissent. I'm not comfortable with how this has been, power has been exercised. There was, there was more to this. And I loved the end of this.

I think we cut this little, because he goes, I don't use the same rhetoric. he goes, but he added, he said that he's not going to play the media's games where I'm asked to referee other people. I love that. That was the key point right there of that soundbite. And that was, he goes, talking about people who are responsible for their own words. He goes, but he specifically told Welker, he's like, I am when I'm not going to play the media's games when I'm asked to referee other people. boom that was it

that was great that was a wasn't on MSNBC and he was talking to there was Rhonda Sanchez was talking to is it Welker or Velker Yeah I think it's well

Yeah well that was a That was I thought was A master class In handling the press Because that's what they want to do And he's like I'm not playing around with this He's like I'm not going to be called the referee I'm not going to be called I'm not going to be called

I'm not going to be, I'm not going to be called in to referee other people with their comments. And he's like, he's like, I'm not doing it. Because she was pressing him on that. What was the comment that was made? Like, I guess like Trump called, what did he? He called what? Somebody vermin. I don't even, golly, I don't even care.

Yeah. And that's like everybody's a Nazi except for the actual. Wait, so you're telling me because he used the word vermin, that he's using Nazi words. Right. But the people who are vandalizing actual Jewish owned businesses, the real Nazis, they're not Nazis for vandalizing Jewish owned businesses or the pro Hamas rioters that are out in the street are not Nazis. Somehow, is that what I'm to understand? Yeah, it doesn't make sense. I mean, not only does it not make sense.

It's so stupid. It makes you feel drunk without the benefit of alcohol, if there's a benefit. Just saying. that's so but I like what he says like I'm not I'm not refereeing this welcome back to the program bottom of this second hour Dana Lash here with you that that's really how the GOP needs to handle stuff instead of can I got to say something because then I'm going to have you guys explain some football stuff to me

because I think that first off that we had this whole thing with FSU and Bama and Trump Trump goes let's blame desa sanctimonious Okay. I feel like we get a tail in two responses with things here. That was not needed. Explain to me something about the FSU thing because, as you guys know, I'm a football genius. If you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you.

And it's Florida State college football playoffs. And apparently Alabama was chosen over undefeated FSU. And I'm trying to figure out how you can be undefeated. didn't they have, I read that they had a 31-yard touchdown pass to beat Auburn a week ago. But someone was saying, oh, but they're very average. So like that counts less or something. Kane and Steve, please explain. I don't know.

What's there to explain? They're undefeated. They were ranked five. It seems like they got robbed. Yeah, I think so. But, I mean, they will be in the Orange Bowl. But I don't know. I mean, if I'm the team, I'd be considering some sort of pushback to this.

Can you push back? I mean, there's no appeal is there? I don't know. Maybe if they boycott the Orange Bowl or something. I don't know what they could do. Trump was on his platform and he goes, they become the first Power 5 team. This is what he wrote. To be left out of college football playoffs, really bad lobbying effort. Let's blame to sanctimonious, which I don't know how. Yeah, that doesn't make sense.

I don't know how the Florida government. I don't know how that. Wouldn't he invite, wouldn't he invite more criticism if he'd had been involved in some kind of lobbying effort? Maybe. Is there a lobby effort to even get, Steve, how does that work? Do they lobby people?

Like, do you have like a football lobby group to make that happen? There's like a, it's a committee. It's a college football playoff selection committee. And there's like former coaches and a bunch of other NCAA people that just get in a room. And they just pick. Doesn't really have any logic to it. This sounds like an episode of South Park. Like they just throw stuff to the wall and see what sticks.

So when I played football in high school, I can imagine if I'm on the team, And I played an entire year. Our team was undefeated. Yeah. And we were ranked that. And out of the four, I would be, I don't know what I would do. I mean, I worked the entire year. I played the entire year for nothing is kind of what I would be thinking if I was one of the players.

And what if you were a senior? She was your last season. Right. What a robbery. Now, some were saying that it's the sports media sycifancy and fear of Nick Saban. And I've seen some people say, it's just gross. Now, I know that Jordan Travis, and that was their best player that FSU had, how does Travis getting hurt take them out of it?

I don't get that. Like, how was that used as a, especially when they're undefeated? How do you use that in your factoring process to keep a team out? That doesn't make any sense to me. No, it doesn't. It would mean. That sounds like an excuse. It is.

And I think that's what the committee, quote unquote, you know, when they have these discussions, they start interjecting these types of things like, they have a hurt player. Let's just push them down on the list. Not based on performance, but based on who's on the injured list. That's so lame. It's weird. Look, because I'm a football genius, you know, me with the football. I don't know. That just seems so incredibly.

That just seems so lame to me. I actually think I like, I know more about college football than I do NFL. I don't know why that is. I think because, now please don't take this the wrong way. I am not. I like sports for the skill of it, but I've never gotten in except for the Cardinals. That's God's team.

And I'm talking about the baseball Cardinals, not the traitors that play pigskin. But I really don't get into a lot of it because I have a very cynical view of sports and the sports team like fervor. that surrounds it. It is probably the most cynical view someone could take. I've had friends tell me that they don't like talking to me about sports stuff because I suck the joy out of life. And they say it jokingly, but they're totally honest. And I agree with them. I just don't get into it. Like I have

friends that like get into all the cowboys stuff and they're like, you know, I don't dislike the cowboys. I mean, you have to say that living in Dallas that'll come get you. It's like a whole thing. But I feel a little bit like it's some bread and circuses. You know what I mean? Like the whole saying back in the Roman days where why do we have gladiators and why do we do all of this? Oh, well, we'll distract everyone with bread and circuses. I sort of feel that it's like that in a way. But then at the same time, I also think that it's actually a really smart thing that community leaders can do to bring in revenue to the city and foster city pride and

fellowship and all of that. So I see both sides of it, but I just very cynically, I cannot get myself excited. about stuff to that point. Like I, one of my kids goes to, uh, college and it's very big football. And,

you know, you kind of have to adopt it. You know what I'm saying? But I'm just not as, I mean, I've seen moms literally paint their face. Like the colors of the, of the team.

I just don't think I could go that far. But, you know, kudos to those who do. Is that, I don't think that's cynical. I feel like I'm being very generous and realist. Right?

I don't know. I did like, I did, I did really get into the, the, Cardinals. We lived in St. Louis. And I still do whenever they're in playoffs, October, particularly, because my husband and I, our anniversary falls towards the end of October. And I can't tell you how many times we've been a nice restaurant celebrating our anniversary.

And we're both got the MLB app up. And we are watching to see how the cards are doing. That is literally the only time I will ever get really into it. That's it. So, because, you know, it's right October. Anyway, that's just sad. I feel bad for their players. So one last quick question for Stephen Kane. I'm going to move on. So is there any way to appeal this? Or this is like, like a done decision this time around. I know Steve said that everything changes. We talked about this on break and he said everything changes next year. This is the last year for this. That isn't, that's not really

much of a salve to the wounds of the seniors at our at FSU now. Right. So, I mean, it is what it is. I mean, I don't think there is any going back. That's so lame. There's no, there's no appeal process that I'm aware of. Really? That's so late. Because I got to book travel and hotels

and all that stuff, so that's done. But I mean, the real reason is they want the TV rating just bam in there. That's, that's what I think. Yeah. I mean, if the roles are reversed and FSU had a loss and then beat the team in their conference, I don't think that Alabama would be jumping, or FSU would be jumping Alabama in that case. Yeah. So the role's being reversed, it doesn't look like that would ever happen, but somehow it happened with FSU.

Yeah. Also, we're going to move on. We've got a bunch of other stuff to hit. Bank records show Joe Biden got over $1,300 a month from $100. company that took millions of dollars in payments from China. This is something else. I'm not even going to try to say then so it's a firm that Hunter Biden owned. OASCO? Okay. So it's a Hunter Biden owned firm. Newly unveiled bank records show that Biden received at least three monthly payments from this company. Now keep in mind some people might be like oh well it's only he got $1,380

for three months. This is just what they've discovered. far. I don't think people understand the amount of legwork and paperwork that the, uh, these house committees are having to go through the oversight committee has been looking into this because all of the different shell companies and all of the times that they moved money around in this firm into that firm and this other firm and this other. I mean, it's so much that it's like untangling a ball of a knotted ball of Christmas lights. And this is just like every week there's something that they discover. But what this does prove is that everything that the Biden's had said about not receiving payments from this, not getting a dime from this,

this is all said, is false. There's enough there, absolutely, to beg the question that Joe Biden received CCP cash while he was not only in elected office, but even running for the White House. And probably now still even in the White House. I mean, there's enough. there to do that. And I think that that necessitates further inquiry. And it's just, it's kind of stunning that all of this stuff has come out and people keep going. There's no proof. There's no proof. So much of it's redacted. One of these pages literally is, it just says activity detail by date continued. And it's just a giant black square. And then there's one thing. It says cash, auto activity, monthly distribution trace, and it's one of the amounts.

I just think that there's a lot. Of course they did. I mean, they tried putting together all these shell companies to try to hide all of this. And more and more comes out. So they keep having to walk back where they were originally with this and saying, oh, no, we didn't know about it. Well, we knew about it. Oh, no, we didn't talk to anyone about it. Well, we kind of talked to them about it.

Oh, no. We didn't get anything about it. Well, you know, maybe some money went through to a family account. You see how they keep having to modify their defense on this every single time? It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man. I've got questions about this one. So this Florida man,

oh boy, this is Fox 535 Orlando. A Florida man was arrested for quitting his job. He transports, he works for the prison system. he was transporting prison inmates. He quit his job literally in the middle of his job. He was driving a van full of prison inmates and decided to quit. While he was driving, he was in North Carolina. Deputies got a call to be on the lookout for an inmate transport van traveling in

Statesville, North Carolina. And they said the driver was off course. He refused to return the van. He had four inmates in the lock cargo area. Another employee traveling texted the company owner. He said he was quitting his job in the middle of the trip, and he was going to stop. He finally stopped the van in the middle of a highway. Well, deputy stopped it.

And he was charged with five counts of felony second-degree kidnapping and felony larceny by an employee. Like, if you're going to quit your job, you've got to, you can't do it like literally while you're doing it. Yeah, exactly. I saw this. This is over at W-E-S-H-2. So I saw someone, somebody shared this on Twitter. I saw somebody, a listener shared it on Twitter, and was saying that, well, I guess the Florida woman didn't see this coming. She's a psychic, and apparently, Madam Catherine Fortune telling a car, like, crashed right through her house. Right through the living room area. How do you not see that coming?

Yeah. the driver apparently had a seizure while they were driving and the driver's in stable condition. It's not clear if it was, I mean, the thought is that it was during while the passenger, while the driver was driving. But they say that they had some, another person that was transported to the local hospital with minor injuries. It resulted in structural damage to the home. Goodness. Let's see.

This headline, Florida man charged after assaulting a wife with a sausage, police say that alcohol may have been a factor. You think it was? You think the alcohol was a factor? The affidavit doesn't say what kind of sausage the wife was pelted with. It's a smoking gun. Ray Allen, 61. He was released from custody. This was in St. Petersburg. It was on Saturday.

Judge told him, do not have any contact with your wife? And they said that they had a verbal altercation Saturday afternoon and he struck her in the face with a sausage. And they said, I love the affidavit goes, that alcohol was likely a factor. I know. The affidavit does not confirm Cain,

whether or not it was a patty or a link. Sausage? Yeah. Okay. Because I think, I mean, if it's, if we're talking like a Jimmy Dean link, those are pretty small. Yeah.

Right? Like, you'd break one on somebody's face. He hit him with it. You know what I'm saying? If it's a summer sausage, you could pretty much beat somebody. Dude, you could. You could beat somebody to death with a summer sausage.

But now they didn't say if it was a summer sausage. But now they didn't say if it was a summer sausage. summer sausage or not. I mean, I don't know. They said that they washed the victims right eye out with saline. So the uncooked meat wouldn't cause an infection. So it doesn't sound like summer sausage because that's cured. So this is, so this is, if it's an uncooked sausage. Yeah. Mm, what kind of, what kind was it? Don't be doing your, don't be doing your sausage like that. Don't, don't be, you know, good heavens. Uh, let's see. I'm going to have to save this one for tomorrow. I'm not even going to

hint at what it is. It's just nuts. There may be one hint. Stay with us. Third hour on the way. We're going to give you a big deportation. We're going to get those bad ones out. Remember, mental institutions, prisons, and terrorists are pouring into our country. We right now, the largest caravan.

That was my term, I think. I have a lot of terms, a lot of good terms. But caravan was my term. What are you up and over there for? The main invented the word. It's never been used before. I don't believe that's true. Why are you such a Nazi?

I'm not sure that's true either. No one knew this word caravan until he made it a term. The 16th century word? That's not the word that they used. They used a bunch of wagons. Came from the original Persian word? Yeah, they just, they used a bunch of wagons.

That's what it was. And then I think the translation like roughly sounded like that word but it wasn't a word so Trump said it were like caravan what's this word? I've never heard this word before and then we started like

oh well I guess we'll use this word now it's now been put into the parlance of our time you laugh but it's true you're just jealous that your wordsmith skills aren't up to snuff welcome to the show I cannot I don't know what kind of mood I'm in

I'm in to hate everything burn it all down Fala la la la la daq my halls He knows that the Dodge The Dodge Caravan Actually came out in like 1984 Well is it caravan or caravan? I don't know what you said there

Two different Sure what you actually said Two different things The I mean the Dodge Caravan Are you okay? That word didn't exist Until he was in the White House It's the matter with you

I'm not inclined to believe it for some reason. Well, he said that. Is that weird? For me not to want to believe it? Who do you want to believe? He just said that. Or my own life experience? That's weird. Maybe you were saying the name of your car wrong this whole time. I think I was. It's the caravan.

It's what it was. Totally different from caravan. Oh, well. Gosh, I mean. Since you said it like that. That's like saying that, you know, it's, no, it's not like tomato, tomato. Stop it. So one of you literally just emailed me. One of you people out there literally emailed.

Stop it. Caravan. It's a totally different word. Caravan. Yeah. Potato. Because caravan, I mean, think about it. Care.

Cairs about vans of people. It's like a phrase. Care for vans. Caravans. Care. Like, it doesn't make sense to say care about vans. There's too many syllables. Caravans.

of the vans that are transporting the people that's probably what he means do other people five DHS shut up well do other people have to get permission to use that word now I don't know he ought to trademark it he says it's his term he should trademark his term I would trademark all my terms and just slapety slap slap people for actually you got to use it in uh in order to be able to claim more where do you have to use it in commerce so unless you can prove that you made money with it first then uh which you know now that you say that cane you bring up a good point about the dodge caravan I'm just saying so well we it's caravan it's what it is caravan but that's you know

I guess not all of us are super knowledgeable about automobiles welcome back to the program as I said you're lovable not lovable at all today you're just total we and vinegar Crumudgeon hostess, Dana Lash here with you. And so I just, there's, we got Iowa coming up. Everybody's all, everybody's a kiss in the ring of Iowa. Everybody's over. I love the primaries, though.

The early states, right? Every politician of every party, of every stripe of every affiliation, they make their way up to Iowa. I love corn. Me and my family, corn all the time. We don't even put a Christmas tree up. It's just a tree. made of different corns on the cobs.

I said on Bayhale. Bay hail? Bay Hail? You just were making fun of meat because you didn't know that Dodge Carave? Bales of hay while I eat my corn. Yeah. In front of a camera. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, meat's on stick. I mean, it makes sense. But yeah, I love the people. Like, oh, yeah, I love corn. Staluscious. I eat corn all the time. And then it's like, let's bring our whole family up. Let's bring grandma up.

Look at all of us. We all eat corn. That's how much we love. Eat the corn. Corn, corn, corn, corn. I love corn so much. I put cornfield in my house. I mean, it's hysterical.

I love it. It's, and Iowa, God love them. Like football and the first caucus state, they are living their best life right now. They're getting all of this attention from all of these, you know, these politicians. Everybody's loving on Iowa. Iowa's like the most popular girl to dance right now. Like, thank you. Thank you.

They love it. Yeah, what did you? Cornflake. corn grits, corn on the cob, corn brulee, cream corn, dogs, corn meal, corn chips, corn pop. There it is. There it is. Carathon.

So, the, uh, everybody's going to, everybody loves them some Iowa. And we'll see, we'll see how this turns out for people. Isn't there 99 counties there? Yeah, a lot of counties there. Can I just say one more thing? I do think Iowa, and we talked about this already. I just have to say it again. I am amazed at how neat and tidy their county boundaries are.

Well done. Well done, Iowa. It's not like some of these other states where they're like, I'll just throw some noodles on the map and wherever the noodles are. It's how they lean. That's where we'll draw all the boundaries for our districts, our counties. That's what they do. That's how they do it.

All right. So everybody's going. They're all going. They're all racing up to Iowa. That's where Trump was. He was up in Iowa, talking about call rob on and BLM, which I don't, I'm not, I haven't had enough caffeine. This is only my second cup of black rifle coffee. So sidebar, I told you our coffee machine broke, right? Not of spite. Like we're not buying a new one. Like we're so mad. Like I, there's things that I just get so frugal about that I literally

may end up just like crunching my beans up with my mouth and drinking some hot water I may be at that point I'm not going to do it out of spite this is where that growing up poor spite comes in you know and it's like yeah you're not going to get another dime out of me brevle

crunches coffee beans drinks hot water I mean I'm right there because we asked the guys at Black Rifle coffee were like, well, what would you suggest instead of this bruffle? And they're like, oh, this one. And I'm like, nope, I'm out of spite. I'm going to go without my whole rest of my life. So I'm in that kind of a mood. So if I seem a little tweakier than normal, that's why. So I made it was to, oh, I wanted to get to the scene with James Carville. I have to tell you, James Carville, I first met him when I was the

token conservative back in 2012 and CNN. And they loved me so much. And I actually got along with him. I mean, he's wrong about everything he says. Literally everything. And I think I made mention of that to him once. I'm like, gosh, you know, you're so likable, but just so wrong. I'm so, all the things, so many things. But he was talking about speaker Mike Johnson in the house now.

And I thought this was a weird take for, I don't know why he decided to make this take. Listen to this. Audio Somebody 24. And what he believes is one of the greatest threats we have today to the United States. When I'm talking about to promise you, I know these people. You're talking about Christian nationalism. Absolutely. This is a bigger threat than al-Qaeda up to this country. Let me tell you something.

With their Christmases and their love of their neighbors and their bless your hearts. these people, the Christians, the Christians are a bigger threat to America than Al-Qaeda. You know, one of the terror groups that work with the other terror group, that's all basically like the same terror group that does all the terrorist attack. They're all basically one and the same. Where, how do you, how do you, there's no way he actually believes that. I mean, if you try to pin him down on that, there's no way he actually believes that. Oh yeah, the Christian nationalists all big a threat to America.

with that. Ho-ho-hoes and deck the halls and presents under the tree and celebrating the motherfucker savior. That's my best attempt at his accent. Where does that come from? Mike Johnson had tweeted, it's twisted and shameful that a leading democracy. Is he leading still?

No, not at all. Yeah, I mean, him and Mary Madeline. Mary Matlin is a Republican strategist. He's a Democrat strategist. They've been married for 11, 4illion years. I don't know how, but they make it work. I don't think they talk about politics in the home. I think that's where they, you know.

But I got along with both of them. And he was always very much a gentleman, very kind. But Johnson's like, oh, it's twisted and shameful that a leading Democrat strategist isn't leading, I don't know, says millions of Christians in America are a greater threat than foreign terrorists who murder more than 3,000 Americans. A Democrat Party should condemn. They're not going to. Because here's the difference between the Democrat Party and the Republican Party. the Democrat Party will do something crazy or they'll have gold bar bob and Republicans are like

that's mean or that's inappropriate or they'll say something like uh that's that's just that's so rude and it's you shouldn't say that you should be condemned Democrats don't care you think Democrats take their marching orders on strategy from Republicans do you think Democrats are concerned about impressing Republicans no compare that to what happened last week. I'm still salty. And I've never even met this dude. I've never had a conversation with George Santos. Republicans removed the most conservative lawmaker from New York and a guy who had a pretty conservative record compared to some of the others there removed him from the house because of accusations that have not been proven in a court of law. Because

Democrats were doing the Monty Python finger point. that guy he's got to go and republicans wrung their hands and thought well we want to we desperately want to make sure that we're keeping up appearances of propriety so we're going we're going to acquiesce to these demands from democrats and we're going to remove him republicans somehow remain concerned with what leftists think of them i think that's stupid because if you just do your policies and you make good choices and smart monetary decisions and you are a good steward of the resources that taxpayers through the consent of their vote have given you the authority to make then the result of that is going to attract more people who like living

a sane existence and not paying an exorbitant amount of their own dollars to the treasury they're going to be attracted to that. You don't have to sit here and do these stupid little, this little filthy theater. Oh my, I guess we have to make sure what the Democrats are like us. We're going to go ahead and kick this man out of Congress. And that's exactly what they did. It's so stupid. So there's a difference for you right there.

Democrats are never going to condemn anything Carville says. They're going to be like, oh, we're not responsible. Meanwhile, Republicans fall all over themselves. Guess we got to get him out. Geez. Hey, I thought we were going to have more conservative leadership and all that stuff. What happened? Dana, don't ask awkward questions.

Hey, Kane. Caravan. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. So from The Guardian, the COP 28 president says there's no science behind demands for a phase out of fossil fuels. This after a big push from John Kerry and others saying that, well,

we need to make sure that fossil fuels are eradicated and we can't have any more coal plants and we need. He says that the comments were, quote, incredibly concerning and verging on well, he was also attacked. People were saying, oh, he's denying climate. But he says, look, there's no

reason. It's Sultan Al Javar who says there's no science that indicates a phase out is needed. Just, I grinned. That's all I did. That's all I did. I just grinned. That's all I did. Also, a couple of other things here. Speaking of COP 28, Al Gore slammed the climate summit host, UAE, saying that a mission sword, Al Gore, the guy who once asked a masseuse to release his second chakra. Wink, wink, how is Al Gore still there?

Private jets headed to the global warming conference were literally frozen on the runway. There was a photo and video of all of these private jets. that actually couldn't take off. They were going to go to Dubai, and they were discussing, they were in Munich on the way to Dubai, and they literally got frozen in, and they couldn't fly out of Munich,

you know, because of the global warming. That's right. Animal shelters across the U.S. are overflowing. And I'm going to tell you, folks, don't be getting nobody a puppy in your all's family unless you are committed for that puppy's life to taking care of it. for the life of that puppy, do not do that.

But they've had animal shelters are saying that there is an influx. Don't shop a dot for sure. But they can't keep up with them. And the euthanasia rate is soaring. It's heartbreaking. Stick with us. Our friend Stephen Yates next. Whether you're a policy wonk, a news junkie,

or simply someone hungry for insightful discourse, the Dana Show podcast has your back. Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to the program. Your lovable curmudgeon, Dana Lash, here with you, towards the end of this third hour. Now, actually at the bottom of the third hour, you can listen coast to coast, obviously.

Check out the simulcast, YouTube, Facebook, Channel 347, direct TV. Also, white lung, which is apparently different from black lung. And the white lung is rumored to be, I was looking at my latest notes on this, coming from China, although they had Dr. Burks, if you want to believe her still, who said that there isn't any, there's, it's very difficult she was saying to link the two. There was some sort of thing in, uh, in Ohio where they were wondering if it was the some of the

outbreaks there, if they were related, but apparently I don't, I don't know if they are or not. What is, I mean, what, we, we know that there's something's been going on in China because we've seen at least some of the videos in that that have leaked out of that nation. Uh, I mean, everybody's masking up again. they have like quarantines. They're doing all of this stuff again. So what is it? Is it? Because they won't stop messing with the bats in the cave. So what is it now? Joining us, our very good friend, Stephen Yates, and you can find him on X at Yates Coms. And of course, he is the chair of the China Policy Initiative with the America First Policy Institute. Stephen, always a pleasure to have you. What is happening over there? I mean, everything I read about it,

when you try to figure out if that's what is some states are dealing with, like they had an outbreak of pneumonia. I mean, it's a respiratory system and apparently it affects kids. So is this like a bat virus plane in caves, bio-warfare 2.0? What is it? Well, there is a heavy dose of deja vu all over again with this story. And, you know, with regard to whatever the so-called experts of the last go-round want to say this time around, there are some really strong parallels in the sense that it's obvious that something bad is happening inside China. and even in a controlled media environment, there is video and text commentary coming out.

It's undeniable that there's a health problem. Then you also see the revival of the old means for dealing with it. So the COVID regime is coming back in terms of masking up on isolations and other kinds of things. And so you'd think that that would be enough we should have learned if we would have had a travel ban on movement out of China, say in December of 2019, when we first got reports of this kind of stuff and had visual evidence of it out of China, we might have saved a million lives and a trillion or more dollars in our economy and a whole host of other things. And so what's the argument now? Are we right back there where when President Trump did in late January put a travel

ban in place? He was called xenophobic by then opportunistic candidate soon to be President Joe Biden and then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. But really, that's where we are. We have plenty of evidence to justify. No one should be coming and going to China without some kind of testing or quarantining at this point. Yeah, that's a very good point. And this, I mean, it's, I feel like we're at the moment where anytime we have outbreaks like this, especially if China's dealing with it at least first or earlier than we are, we're

always now going to go, is this bio-warfare? Is this another attempt to shut down the place? land again. I mean, it's, I don't think that that's us being unreasonable. I mean, we kind of went through it the last time. No, absolutely right. The burden is on them. They're the ones that created this witch's brew. They're the ones that deliberately let it out into the world. They're the ones that lied in capital letters to everyone and manipulated a very easily manipulated UN system that we stupidly followed to closely the last time. The things that are very different now is, I think, that a large swath of Americans and others around the world aren't going to buy this a second

time around. We know that there are going to be health consequences, but there were health and other consequences to following their Hocum last time. And so I don't think that the prescriptions they put forward, which have a heavy dose of political control that come with them, coincidentally in an election year again, are going to be swallowed. And it's not just the crazy lunatic fringe that Joe Biden wants to talk about. There's a lot of independence and even some Democrats that have had it. I have some friends that work in inner cities

among minority populations. They're pretty sick and tired of this stuff going on. And I just, you know, this, really at this point, why is anyone coming and going and dealing with China as if it's normal? And I don't think any significant population in the United States is ready to say, oh, well, let's mask up and social distance shut down again.

Heck no. Yeah. And it's weird, too, that it's also, it only seems to really affect teenagers and kids. I mean, it's just very, it's a very different, well, we'll keep an eye on it, but it's a very different, very different thing. Well, if you have a government that doesn't care about human beings and has no ethics or accountability, you can conduct experiments that target only a certain kind of people or only a certain age group or only a certain

religious preference. They may or may not have been doing this in their own country. And now they may or may not be exporting into the world. We found this weird facility out in California. Maybe the good governor there who got a little horse kick this last week. You go look on what happened with this bio lab that was in California. But we've got all kinds of warning flags about this stuff from China and it's not staying there. Yeah, that's a great point. Talking with our good friend Stephen Yates, it's a very good point. China is claiming that a U.S. warship violated its national sovereignty. This comes from the Hill. accused this Navy ship of violating their sovereignty. It was the USS Gabriel Giffords that appeared in

the second Thomas Scholl. This is some reef in the South Seas. It's a reef in the South Seas. They said that it violated that it can, now correct me, if I'm wrong, but the only way that their sovereignty is violated is if you believe that the South Sea is theirs and not international wars. Yeah. Well, I am so sorry that the tender feelings of Winnie the Pooh are really hurt. you come a couple thousand miles within his territory. But if that's the way they want to go, I mean, I hope that the neighbors and others around the world are wising up. You know, on the one hand, China can't be this 10 foot tall thing that's too hard to tackle and maybe treat as a peer, like saying, I'm not going to let you step on my lawn without pushing you back.

Or they're, you know, they're so sensitive that you can't come within a couple thousand miles of. of their territory. I mean, I am so sorry that you are hurt, Mr. Insulated Autocrat. But my goodness, it's just one of those things where it kind of makes your head hurt that it makes headlines, but it's a perfect indication

of how bad establishment policy has been on China, and it's not just in the United States, that this is even a question. I mean, we're much closer to other countries' waters than to China's. And this claim of this whole area going down into Southeast Asia is really, And the only way, because it seems like they would love to use something like that as a pretext for increased hostilities.

But also the only way that they would be able to achieve that is if other nations be on their own recognized and said, oh, yes, that is your, those international waters so far away from you and actually closer to everyone else, yes, that's still your territory. They would have to validate that in order for that to work, right? They would, but one of the scarier things about the time we live in and what's been happening in the world, if you just look at the wave of demonstrations that have been whipped up against Israel. I mean, in a way, it's mind-breaking to me that Israel could be losing a PR battle. So many people assumed that alliance with the United States is so strong, that never again really meant never again. and there has been a major information war waged against them that I think they have to feel like they're on their on their back heels at this point with regard to that information warfare. And if it's been tough on something that came straight out of terrorism, you've got to think the CCP is wound up and ready to wage that kind of war too.

And instead of flooding European capitals, the flood Asian capitals with nationalists and those flags and try to give people second thoughts. about which side they want to come down on in this. So, I mean, we really have a lot of work to do to help people feel psychologically, politically, and sort of otherwise insulated from this information war that's coming. Right now, it's this silly provocation at sea, but it'll hit their streets in a snap if they really want to push the accelerator on it. Yeah, you made a really good point with the propaganda war as it related to Israel. And I wanted to ask you this because we played the sound bite earlier, Kamala Harris,

Vice President, saying that they need to revitalize the quote-unquote Palestinian Authority. To me, that demonstrates a huge ignorance of what really shapes and governs that region. Because Hamas controls Gaza, they won elections there. They're so popular. The authority suspended elections because they were worried that Hamas would also basically take over and more than just behind the scenes, West Bank as well. They're still supremely popular. It's not, I mean, people chose them, mainly because they didn't recognize their right of their neighbor to the north to exist. So what does she even mean there? You can't revitalize something that the people reject. Wouldn't that be the word that they always say colonization?

Yeah, well, there are several problems with what our distinguished vice president seems to think and say in that some of it is internal overseas, but some of it is grand scheme of things. We have a treaty alliance. with Israel. And Israel was attacked by a terrorist group. No one that is a faithful ally should be saying or doing anything to interfere with that sovereign government's right to defend themselves against external terrorist forces brought in, armed, and murdering, raping, and et cetera, And so I don't understand where the vice president thinks she's going to do anything to influence the world in a positive direction if the United States is in the business of immediately undermining an alliance under attack. But really inside what she calls the Palestinian Authority, I mean, if this was a legitimate body accomplishing legitimate things, they wouldn't have harbored Hamas. There wouldn't have been this attack. And so, you know, this revitalizing of a failed institution that is not keeping peace with its neighbors to the extent that it's not just the Israelis that they want to bloody up, but the Egyptians that won't take people out of that territory.

And you've got to believe that if the Biden administration, if the president himself were to call the leader of Egypt, that something could be worked out. But it hasn't bothered him to make time for that. So it would seem to me the vice president isn't even on the same song sheet with the president. But, you know, there's more than a few problems with the whole situation. But it begins with her not really even knowing the basics. What a mess. What a mess. Our good friend Stephen Yates at Yates comms on X.

I keep wanting to say Twitter on X. Always such a pleasure. So respect your expertise. And so good to see you, my friend. Thank you. Have a great week. Thank you, Dana. Take care.

We have more to come, folks, as we wrap up this third hour of our program. Remember the one headline that we had? And we were talking about the educational stuff. I had to share this with you. I may pull this back up? Because it was the report cards. So Yale, when you think of Yale University, you think, well, okay, old Yale. Like, let's maybe walk it back 20 years.

Like maybe an academic institution, right? Like where people go, they learn smart stuff, right? Well, so the college fix says that Yale, gives 80% of its students A grades. They think that the grading has actually declined dramatically at Yale. Now, we had the story about the parents thinking that their kids are doing really well. And then when an educational assessment came out, it showed that actually only 50% of them were performing at grade level.

It kind of makes me wonder about this. I mean, the Dean of Yale College, according to college fix, the undergraduate branch of the university acknowledge that professors are not properly grading students. They said that they're kind of just giving out A's. That's really wild. They're just giving out A's.

They're giving out grades. I mean, I'm not a conspiracy theorist. But Kane, I feel like there's some shenanigans here. I feel like there's some shenan. I got to hang on. I got to put my head on. Hold on because I don't want anyone to think.

So I feel like, what are you laughing at me? It's my Faraday hat. It's my Faraday hat. You can't hear my thoughts with this on. Blank you, CIA. I'm just saying. It's my Faraday. Who makes it?

It's my Faraday hat. You can't hear my phone when I put it in my pouch. You can't hear my thoughts. Yeah, Faraday Labs. Fairday Labs with a Z. L-A-B-Z. Fairday Labs. with my hat.

I'm just saying, Kane, that this is how people would grade students if they wanted him to be dumb. Right. So. It's kind of like when they don't report murders and then claim that murders are down. Yeah. You know what I mean? It's kind of like that. So you're just giving everybody A's and you're claiming that the education system is working.

Exactly. Yeah, you're giving people A's and you're saying that the whole system is working. Gosh, dang it. It's like I've never put a hat on before. And you're saying that the system is working, but it's not. And you're encouraging everybody to be stupid. You're keeping everyone purposefully dumb by just handing out A's. It's easier to control dumb people than smart people.

Yeah, this kind of goes in line with this thing that I read. One of my friends Van, Van, who runs a website called Blotto Dietic. He wrote about how obsession with how grammar and everything has degraded so that people cannot argue articulately or express. their ideas in so many different ways anymore to prevent effective communication, which is what we're seeing now. Like I said, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but it sounds like what you would do if you're trying to keep people stupid. Yeah, you're just giving spoiler alerts, right? Yeah. That's all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying. It's the point I wanted to make. Okay, so that's my point.

That's my today and conspiracy theory. That's my whole thing. Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts, because knowledge is your ultimate superpower. So tomorrow, one of the things we're going to dive into is what I've been seeing pushed with a lot of these Democrat influencers. They're trying to say, it is stupid to say that the economy isn't strong and remarkable, period. That's going to go over real well. Today in stupidity, Kane. All right, you know that in all the big Democrat cities, those leftist DAs are the ones who are not prosecuting and letting these offenders out consistently. But this is what Corrine Jean-Pierre said about Biden administration's commitment to fighting crime.

Listen, in the meantime, President Biden and this administration will continue to use every tool at our disposal to keep communities safe. Is that right? Because why haven't you started doing that? Are you just now coming up with the idea of using all the tools? Yeah, like what tools is she talking about here? I'm, you know. All right, folks, that does it for us today. Make sure you tune in tomorrow.
