The Super Bowl Sunday. If you're anything like me, you'd like to be surrounded by a snack or two while watching the big game. You know, when buying snacks for the game, you might have noticed one thing. Sports drinks bottles are smaller. A bag of chips has fewer chips, but they're still charging it just as much. And as an ice cream lover, what makes me the most angry is that ice cream cartes have actually shrunk in size, but not in price. I've had enough of what they call shrinkflation. It's a rip-off.

Some companies are trying to pull a fast one by shrinking the products little by little and hoping you won't notice. Give me a break. The American public has tired of being played for suckers. I'm calling on companies to put a stop to this. Let's make sure businesses do the right thing now. I don't understand this stupid ad. He actually, he posted it. He didn't run it on TV, but he posted it on X yesterday.

I keep trying to say Twitter. right when they had the, you know, the Super Bowl was getting going. And I mean, his whole perspective is that it's all of these mean companies that are doing this to you and that it has nothing to do with the policies that he's enacted that have led up to this. And it sort of feels like he thinks we're stupid. But he ran this yesterday. He actually ran it. Welcome to the show.

it's post-super Bowl Monday Dana Lash here with you I still don't like football I'm not gonna lie just I'm not a fan I don't care I just I don't I only watch I'm not one of those people who's big on watching it and I still don't understand if we're supposed to be mad at it or not

but you know there it is anyway so good to be with you like I said Dana Lash here you can listen Coast to Coast you can stream the radio program the video component of the radio show as well you can find YouTube Facebook channel 347 direct TV in addition to all of that. So I just, you know, I'm like, he's sitting here like, oh, I like to be surrounded by a snack or two. Sure you do. Is that what you're calling him now? I don't know. Sure you do there, paint them all red.

But it's the, I mean, we can, we, we can all do the math. We can all do the, we know what this case. I just think it's dumb that he's, he's like using this. Like, what do people like to eat for Super Bowl? snacks. Everything's fun-sized now, but regular-sized prices. Yeah, because of your stupid economic policies that you enacted your first month in office. I mean, let's not forget all the spending bills that you pushed. Good grief. Let's not forget all of the quote-unquote college loan forgiveness. When I hear people tell me that they want their college loans to be forgiven, I want to strangle them because I'm like, you want me to pay for your college loan. That means I own your ass. That means you're mine. Oh, don't. I'm not going to apologize for my Portuguese. If you're going to be proud to prostitute yourself out on behalf of the taxpayers, or we own you. If my dollars go towards you, you mine. That's how that works. You get my money. You're mine. That means I control part of your life. And I'm totally fine with that because I think some of these ladies need to make better choices. So anyway, long story short, it's all because of his economic policies. I watched this. I watched the Super Bowl. I don't, I'm not even going to pretend for clicks that I like football or even know what's happening. I just don't. It was the Chiefs

versus the San Francisco 49ers. She had needles and feces versus Taylor Swift squad. right? Right. Okay. Steve, you were wanting the Chiefs, right? Okay, okay. Oh, that's why. It wasn't because you're a super fan.

I thought he was a super fan. Okay, there was money involved. I don't care. I just didn't care. I was like, I like their gold pants. That's about it. And I did watch that one point, though. Oh, and I watched the ads.

The ads were the big thing. I did watch that one point where, what's his face? Kelsey ran up to that old man coach and, like, like, checked him. What was that about? What was that whole issue about? That seemed, is that unusual for that kind of sort of, or because everyone's like, is that a red flag? Is that a red flag?

Is that a red flag, Tothal? Can we even talk about, we have to say the big game? Can I even say the name of the damn football game or are we going to get sued by the NFL? We're past it now. So, yeah, no. Oh, okay. Passed it now. Okay.

Yeah, you guys don't know that. Like, leading up to it, can you can't say it. No, no. You have to say superb owl. That's right. You cannot actually say Super Bowl leading up to the. game. We get sued. That's an actual thing. I'm not joking. How stupid

is that? Anyway. Yeah, so Kelsey ran up to this guy. Scared him. He was mad about something and it turned into a million memes. This is how I feel. I feel like the coach and I feel like those are all the but light apologists trying to get in my fan about their pea baby beer. That's what it feels like.

Right? So that was the Kelsey thing that happened. Juan's getting enough for the simulcast that happened. Is that normal for that? For I think we're looking at vaxed and triple boosted rage. That's what it looks like. You got the Moderna.

I told you to get the Pfizer. He probably got the Pfizer, too. Got the Moderna booster. What is his official position, the clockshot? That's his position on the football team. Okay. Yeah, that's right. So I was more interested in the ads.

Can we talk about the ads first and foremost? So there was one ad that ran. And at first you see it because they were talking about Jesus, right? what was it uh it was uh like a servant ad it was supposed to be like oh he's washing everybody's feet etc etc and i saw it and i was like whoa wait a minute this looks like it might be kind of interesting is this going to be a uh like an actual christian ad oh interesting okay all right and i was completely disappointed like five seconds into it because he it was it was called he gets us that's the people who did the ad and it shows you know it starts out innocuous

enough. And the ad starts out with, you know, these everybody washing people's feet, right? Except it was done not as a way of servitude. It was done to signify an affirmation of sin. And that's the biggest difference that I think a lot of people are missing with this. Because they have, like, for instance, literally outside of a planned parenthood. Oh, but they say family planning clinic. And it's a young girl and it's another woman washing her feet, right? And we all know that that's playing parenthood. Come on. Let's not let's not like get into the semantics of it here. But it has like a Jewish person washing like a Hamas person's feed and all this other stuff. And it's ridiculous. And they're like, oh, love your neighbor. Okay, well, you're promoting a leftist

political message by blasphemously confusing servitude with affirmation. There's a huge difference here. And I would, I expect that from a miles wide inches, deep, fake, blasphemous Christian organization. That is he gets us because it's exactly what it is. I know a lot of people complain about Joel Austin, but this is like everything that is wrong with the

some of the narrative that he preaches on steroids. This is crazy. So it has affirmation of sin. Like, oh, we're sitting outside a family clinic. We're sitting outside all of... Is that important? Or should we...

No. Okay. We're sitting outside of a family planning clinic. We're sitting outside all this stuff. It's an affirmation of sin is what it is. So it's, I mean, that, I mean, they, and they had it, how much money do these Super Bowl ads go for? Like, what is it?

Like, seven to ten million dollars? Something like that. So it's, there's a difference. There's a huge difference between, oh, I'm serving someone to, oh, I'm affirming your sin because they act like passing judgment or having an opinion on something is sinful.

Like, oh, look, you shouldn't be judging this person who's getting ready to walk into Planned Parenthood when we know statistically that it's older women who already have a child and thus know where babies come from and they're doing it as a form of birth control and this is according to Planned Parenthood's own statistics. And this is the organization pushing for taxpayer-funded

abortion on demand. Yes, we, we, you're not supposed to pass judgment on this person going in here. That's the message of this whole, the whole ad thing. So at first, when I was, when I saw it, I thought, oh, gosh, a Jesus ad. And then I started seeing some of the images that they were throwing up there. It was definitely a leftist political message. I thought they were saying that they weren't going to do anything controversial for their, their Super Bowl ads. I thought they said that they weren't going to do anything controversial for the ads. So that seemed kind of controversial.

And it was, I mentioned this on social media and some people were like, oh, I thought it was a good point that some made. Like, it's not buddy Jesus, okay? Like Jesus came with, you know, certain rules and stuff. They, the only way they're saying, it's not buddy Jesus. I mean, they leave out the, go forth and sin no more. They, they omit that. I mean, the idea that you're supposed to affirm the sin and that, and that, that's, you're supposed to affirm the sin and that that, the same thing as loving the sinner is absolutely blasphemous. So I was, I mean, I get really disappointed

in these fake groups like this because that's the thing. I mean, that is so devilish to, to present a counterfeit message so as to pervert the meaning of scripture. And that's exactly what this is. That whole he gets this organization is a, as it is a, with all the talk, look, I saw a lot of people that get a little fringe saying, oh, those people in Taylor Swift's box were throwing up satanic hand symbols. For all the talk of those people obsessing over what they thought was satanic or not in that box, that was the most satanic thing that I saw on television last night, was that he gets us ad. So we also had, there was speaking of ads, how many ads from Chinese companies were there? Something like seven or nine. I can't remember. There were a lot of them.

There was the TikTok, there were a whole bunch of different ads from Chinese companies. Then there was a Pfizer ad. They had a Pfizer ad. Then they had a Dove commercial where they were talking about empowering women, which I thought was funny because they were the ones who backed that Laurel Hubbard dude, who was the weightlifter who wanted to cosplay as a woman and edge out women on competitive teams. And Dove had backed him. So I thought that was kind of interesting that Doves like trying to retcon their history. The ads were, I did not think they fulfilled their promise of not being controversial because they were still pressing the issue.

the issue. Then the halftime show happened. I think the halftime show is, it was very 90s, right? Late 90s early a very late 90s early aughts thing. And they had Urshur, he performed. Did you watch a halftime show? Were you into it?

I did. Yeah, I saw that. It was nostalgic. It was good. I'll give him props for performing while singing live. Because a lot of people rely too much on backing terms. and he had really minimal backing tracks. He only had like, you know, like the hype vocals.

Right. That was pretty much it. But it was him like singing and performing live. So that was, I mean, I thought that was impressive. But then there were some people who were mad because he was doing Michael Jackson moves. And there was some of the, there was a, I could have probably done without the stripper pulls. But I was greatly entertained when that one chick fell off. I don't know if y'all saw that.

But it was when Ludacris came out and it was right over. It was right behind ludicrous. So if you're looking at the television, it happened behind his right shoulder. You're looking at it. It's your left side. This chick fell right up on our head, right on live television. Imagine being that girl, right? Not only are you on a stripper pole in front of your family at the Super Bowl,

but then you fall off the thing right on your head. I mean, imagine that's you. And then you've got to go into work the next day, wherever you're going to work at, and everybody's going to be talking about you. So, you know, it was for the most part. I don't know. I could have done with a little bit more rock and roll besides what is it, the her chick going out there on the?

on the guitar. She was pretty good, but I could have done with a little bit more, I could have done with some more rock and roll. That's all right. But it was, you know, for the most part. I mean, it was, you know, it was nostalgic, as Kane said. I mean, there wasn't really anything I was going to rip my hair out over. Again, the thing that I thought was the most offensive was that he gets us ad. And then there's the RFK thing. RFK ran an ad. Well, it wasn't him. Let me, let me clarify. It was a political action committee. And he had already made a statement that he didn't even know or he at first was tipped off about it, but they're not legally allowed to talk. So PAC, and campaigns are not legally allowed to speak to each other, and PACs will do whatever they want to do. But still, I would have imagined that he would have thrown a fit and raise some cane beforehand had he not wanted it to air. But it was weird because I just got to point out that

I know that there's some people on the right that like RFK, and we're going to talk a little bit more about this, but you guys know he's like a big anti-gun guy, right? Like majorly anti-gun. And he's one of those climate hoax pushers. I feel like we need to revisit this. Wise Food Storage. When emergency strikes.

So apparently the Apple Vision Pro is set to rewire our brains in some unexpected ways, in addition to looking super douchey. They say that the Apple Vision Pro headset, I keep seeing ads on these, but I've never seen anybody wear them. Are you supposed to wear these things like in real, like an out in actual life? No, you're not.

They're $3,500. That's so dumb. They say that the Vision Pro is what uses what's known as pass-through video. They capture imagery of the outside world and reproduce it inside the device. So they feed you a synthetic environment made to look like the real one. You know, there's a really cheap way to do that. It's called sunglasses. You know, you can just put those on your head and you can actually see the real environment through the lenses.

You don't have to have pass-through video. to feed you a synthetic view of the outside that looks like what you're, this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Anyway, they say that there's the long-term immersion in VR headsets literally change the way that you perceive the world and everybody else. They're doing a lot of studies on this. And they say that our brains, like as a whole, humanity, are about to undergo a massive society-wide experiment

that could rewire our sense of the world around us. Now, I keep hearing people, Juan's showing you what they look like. It looks like you're wearing like scuba goggles. You know how like the marks that's going to leave on your face? But the, I need to come back to this because I'm going to spend all of headlines on this. I have just major problems with it. They always say this, but these devices are never anything but flops. That's what they were like second life.

And then now they're like meta, which is like a new dorky reinvisionist, you know, second life. Let's see here. The, do, do, do, do, do, apparently how you smell sheds light on how healthy you are. Duh. Are we, who's paying for these studies? What moron is being pitched on the idea, hey, why don't you pay a couple million dollars for this totally obvious study? I'm not even getting, this is dumbest headline ever. A 17-year-old student with a higher IQ than Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking is taking, well, their very high-level academic tests in Britain, A-levels, 28A levels.

And she admits that teachers are struggling to keep up with her. Okay, you need to solve all the world's problems now, lady. We have a lot more on the way, including the latest on that show.

The latest update from this Lakewood Church, the terrorist in the Lakewood Church shooting,

that's Joel Austin's Church down there in Houston. this woman is apparently from El Salvador was she was shot dead 36 years old she had free Palestine written on her rifle and she apparently was trans

so wait is she or dude it's a dude who's who's cosplaying as a chick this is why I see this is why I hate this trans crap because here we're trying to literally find out more about a

suspect in an attempted terror attack. And that's exactly what it is. It's a terrorist attack. Another group of Christians. This time they were Hispanic Christians being targeted. And okay, so the guy,

it was a woman who wanted to be a dude. And I'm only going to say the name once, just because to get this cleared. But the woman's name was Janessa Moreno, but went by the name of Jeffrey. So it was chick who wanted to be a dude. This is like what I, what I'm talking about, this, this insanity with

the pronoun issue. You, you, then you can't find out anything about suspects because everybody's messing around with pronouns. I mean, good grief. So this is, this whole story, this woman who had the, she had pro, a free Palestine written, a pro-Hamas, free Palestine, written on her rifle. And that came from law enforcement that was first actually reported by CNN. And this was something that law enforcement had informed CNN. And Daily Mail also confirmed this. The killer or attempted terrorist mass murderer previously used that.

Okay, well, was it Jeffrey? Because they said it's Janessa. It was a man. Are you sure it was a man? I'm positive. He was a man. Well, is a man. I'm positive he is a man.

that's what I'm positive of. Okay, wait, you're right. Legal name Janessa Moreno went by the name Jeffrey. Okay, so it was a dude playing as a chick. Yes. I hate this trans garbage. You are not assigned stuff at birth. You are a dude or a chick.

You can pretend all you want to, but do not force the rest of us to adopt your mental illness, because that's what it is. When you start telling me about pronouns, I want to give you the back of my hand, because I'm done with this stuff. so you got a dude and the reason why it's all written so confusingly did you read APs right up of this

I don't even know if it was a human I was reading the Associated Press and they were like they then this I'm like oh my gosh I can't even figure out from your stupid remedial article good night no one cares about your politics

when you're talking about a terror attack so this Jeffrey Moreno from El Salvador who interestingly enough identified well they had issues with apparently other than just their gender so this dude was from El Salvador but in looking at he was the way that they identified this in the records a white non-Hispanic female white non-Hispanic so they got everything wrong just this is so stupid. Say that you're, there's a bolow out, right? Be on the lookout. You're looking for someone who's armed and dangerous. You're looking for a crazy person who's going to murder a bunch of people. You're looking for terrorists, maybe they got a dirty bomb, whatever. You put out female white, non-Hispanic. What are people

going to be looking for? A female white, non-Hispanic person. When I say female white non-Hispanic, what does that conjure up in your mind? Because science. You might think of maybe like... Not an El Salis. Salvadorian man. Yeah, not a dude from El Salvador. That's the last thing you're going to think of, is a dude from El Salvador. There's a lot of options. When you put out female, white, non-Hispanic, because this was a dude who was definitely Hispanic,

and he was definitely a little more olive than white. Why is this important? Because if you're looking for someone who could go out and hurt a bunch of people, what if a bunch of people are killed because the politics of the left have made it to where no one's looking out for the actual suspect and that costs more lives? These people are going to get a lot of people killed. The left is killing people because of this stuff. The trans activism are killing more people than just kids in Christian schools and trying to kill more people than just Hispanic Christians in churches and Lakewood. This stuff gets people killed. Oh, we can't look for the actual suspect. So let's go out. go ahead and go along with the fantasy that we're looking for a female white non-Hispanic

when it's a dude from El Salvador. This is wild. And I, I, I, this, so this guy came in, he had a five-year-old boy with him. Was it take your kids to work day? Like, what was this? He had free Palestine. Here's the other thing, daily mail and even a lot of these other publications, they, they keep identifying this guy as a woman and as someone who is a white woman. So this guy has a lengthy criminal record, assault, forgery, all kinds of stuff. He walked in in a trench coat and he was killed by two off-duty cops. He entered the building. It was the 2 p.m. service during the Spanish language service. Had a five-year-old boy. Apparently the boy was shot and critically injured. People in the congregation were running to safety.

And you're not hearing a lot from the mainstream media about this because, it was another trans pro Hamas terrorist. Godly, I cannot imagine anything that is more ridiculous and oxymoronic. If this guy were to go and live in Gaza, Hamas would kill him for being trans. Oh, and if you don't think that they have, they've done it already. There's been like several people who've been killed because they didn't like their personal, sexual recreation lifestyle. I mean, that's like news.

They have 45,000 people that attend this church every week. And apparently, I don't think Austin was there at the time. They don't actually know, but they said if it was, if it had happened during the 11 a.m. service, it would have been a lot worse because that's when they have the most people that show up. There was a 52 year old who was shot in the hip. He's in stable condition. But after the man, and see, look, this is how they, this is how daily mail. Daily mail, I get it that sometimes they're viewed as a conservative paper, but they buy into this trans garbage.

Chief Finner said that the woman began shooting. It, it's a dude. You have a schlong. You're a dude. I'm so tired of this. And then officers engaged and the guy was killed. So you have a trans pro-hamas terrorist. How many trans people are going to be shooting up churches?

I mean, how many is this now? I thought we were supposed to look for white supremacists. Good, in heavens. But that just gets me the way that this is, this is how this guy is listed in police records. listed in police records like this. And you're not hearing anything about it. Not hearing anything about it.

Nobody, you're not going to hear tons of it on CNN. You're not going to have endless discussions about it on MSNBC. They're not going to bring out the Everytown and all of the other Michael Bloomberg front groups. They're not going to bring all those out. They're going to be very, very quiet about it until it goes away because it's another one of those instances. where every single thing goes against the narrative that they like to push about firearms and tragedies, et cetera, et cetera. I just, I can't move on from the fact that it's so misleading.

It is so misleading. What if somebody had kidnapped a kid and it was a guy masquerading as a woman and claiming to be white when they were Hispanic? What if? What would happen to the kid because everyone was more concerned? about the political sensibilities of the suspect than they were about the innocence of everyone that that suspect threatened. That is where we are as a society right now.

And these people continue this. The violence continues because society indulges it. And they thrive on it. Good heavens. Thankfully, there was no one who mattered who was killed. The trans-terrorist who was shot and killed. You know, that's what happens when you decide to be a trans terrorist. No one wants to talk about the Free Palestine written on their rifle anymore about that.

I mean, there's like a handful of sources now confirming that. Maybe we can talk about ceasefire now. Can we talk about a ceasefire now? Now that we've got pro Hamas fans shooting up churches here in the United States. I'm actually surprised it was just two off-duty officers and there weren't more people. You know, that they had a live stream and I was watching, video excerpt of it on X. And there was a guy who, I guess,

was like talking and telling, you know, the congregation, like what was coming up. And you can start to hear some of the commotion in the background. And then you can kind of see people running away. But this is just, I don't know, this is a, so you're not going to, you're not going to hear any more about this. Hey, are they going to idolize this guy for the next trans day of visibility? Yeah, we see them.

It's not like they're hidden. do you think that they're going to talk anymore? I mean, just think about what happened with Nashville and how everyone fought, even at the police that were fighting against releasing this manifesto. Now, some of the other things taking place. Speaking of Hamas, did you guys hear the news of a top secret intel center from Hamas

literally right beneath the United Nations Gaza headquarters? The UNRWA? they had there right underneath. They found it and released the news on Saturday. So they were able to tunnel right underneath. And you realize that there were 12 members of that UN aid group, which they say that we just want to advance the development of Palestinian refugees. And they acted like they had no idea that there was this giant tunnel.

But apparently a lot of the people interviewed in not just other people, that were in that UN office, but other people around the area, they had the ground that began collapsing because of all of the tunnels, the tunnel network that was underneath it. And everyone said that it was incredibly well known that they had tunneled a little headquarters underneath that UN entity. But they had 12 members of that UN group that actually were helping with the attack, that participated in the attack by Hamas on Israel on October 7th. There were a lot of citizens in Gaza that did it too. That's another thing that no one likes to talk about. If you've listened to some of the hostages when they discuss where they've been kept, they've been kept in people's

homes, where the kids and the other members of the family and the homes are mean to them and abuse them. Interesting. Not surprising that it was a terrorist group that was voted and elected, literally elected and then enjoyed such overwhelmingly popularity that they were going to be elected in West Bank, too. Hmm. So they found right underneath. in Gaza City, right underneath. They found this headquarters there. But the UN, oh, we didn't know that they had a giant. Yes, you guys did because you guys participated. The UN, this UN group in Gaza itself is a terror group. They should be classified as such. We shouldn't be giving any money to them and they should be classified as such. Our partners for this portion of our program, it's our friends over at Keltec,

the sub 2K Gen 3, awesome firearm. You got to check it out if you haven't. Caltech makes a lot of really cool stuff and they have a lot of really innovative things coming out this year and later this year as well. This is the Gen 3, 9mm Keltic sub 2K carbine, and it folds in half. The whole thing, optics and all. That's the upgrade on the Gen 2. It's a simple twist and fold motion of that patent pending rotating 4-in. Either direction folds it right in half and just as quickly and easily deploys it, optics and all.

Holding is the illegal grabbing of a player who is not in possession of the football in order to gain an advantage. Both offensive or defensive players can be called for holding. See it with us. Players no holding. Players no holding. So it's like swiper no swiping, players no holding.

I notice it. I feel like they slimmed Dora down. Does anyone else notice that? But if you were watching Nickelodeon, that was on Nickelodeon. They like change Dora's voice. I get it. Voice actors have to change and move on. I get it.

But I just, I don't like how they made Dora look different. She went from 2D to 3D. Yeah, she's a kid. Like, you don't need to make her, you don't need a Barbie fire. She's a kid, weirdos. I still don't understand football. I need the guy to explain. I understand Wackbat from Fantastic Mr. Fox more than it.

Don't explain football to me. I don't need emails about it. I don't need tweet because I don't care. I just don't. I don't care to learn. I really don't. I'll watch it and I'll kind of, you know, sort of passively.

I'll watch it, you know. I'm just waiting for the commercials and breaks when I can get up and go get a snack. I don't care. But I don't know. Like I couldn't. We were texting with Kane and Steve last night. And Steve, I don't even know what the hell he was saying at some point. What was he was like?

It's going to be whatever. to an O T, blah, blah, blah, something, whatever. Yeah, he predicted it. I mean, when we're halfway through the game, it's kind of like, and it's that close, it'll probably come down to like some sort of interception or an overtime situation.

He called it. Well, the first text I sent was, did you just see the RFK Jr. ad? And then I followed it up with talking about football. Yeah. Yeah. And then he was, yeah, then he was falling up talking about football.

Yeah, I don't know. I can't tell you what's, I just noticed that one of the, players had on sparkly Dorothy shoes from Oz. Do you see them red glitter shoes from Oz? I was all there for like the fashion. I didn't like Kelsey's shoes because it looked like mustard. Yeah, that's about it. I liked the gold pants of the 49ers, but I wasn't really all about needles and feces. I think you even posted something on X about someone's socks. Who me? Yeah. Oh, I didn't post about anybody's socks. Yeah, I think you did. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I'm going to find it. Find it because I didn't exist. Good luck with that because it doesn't exist. No, I may

have said something about the shoes. I actually don't think I even think I did that. But I didn't really post a lot last night because I was just trying to, I tried to not be on social media on the weekends. I try to stay away, if at all possible. But yeah, I watched a little bit of it. Yeah, here it is. Here's your tweet. What is it says whose mom put them in socks like this with an Easter dress to church. That was, uh, now this is about the halftime show. That was about what's his face. Germain Drupreeze. Easter socks. He was not like he announced usher or sure. He announced. usher for the halftime show.

And people, if you find me on X, you need to look at Jermaine-Dupree's socks, because those are straight up Easter socks, y'all. Those are the white socks with the ruffles on the bottom. And everybody's mom had them in them socks with an Easter dress on Easter Sunday. And you know, I'm right, Cain, those are a little girl Easter dress socks. That's what I was talking about. You wish to be good luck, and I appreciate it because I found it.

I thought you were talking about like a football player. No, no, no, no. Those, yeah, for sure. Yeah, I only cared about that kind of stuff. I could try to take, no, I'm not about football.

If the special counsel says President Biden has got significant limitations,

on his memory, then who is helping him run the country? The President of the United States runs the country. The Commander-in-Chief runs the country. How can he be trusted with the nuclear codes if... I get that you're saying that nobody in the building would say that he's got an issue with his memory. But just a little part of what we get to see, he's made mistake after mistake, after mistake, after mistake, after mistake on camera this week. So I'm going to be very clear here. The reality is that report, that part of the report does not live in reality.

It just doesn't. So the special counsel is lying about the president's memory. It was gratuitous. You heard from my, you heard from Ian, Sam's, my colleague. It is unacceptable and it does not live in reality. That is just the facts. So the facts are that they're actually now going to start. pressing on him. I'm sure that you've seen the change at this point in messaging and they're

not protecting Biden as much anymore. Ghaly, they like walked him out on the plank for that presser last week. Welcome back to the program. Top of the second hour, Dana Lash here with you. Ducey asks, well, who's helping Biden amid these concerns about his memory? Like who's, who's doing this? And his memory's bad. He sounds bad. This was his campaign co-chair, Chris Coons, who is saying that it's the media's fault that people are doubting his mental agility. Listen to this. Audio 7 by 5, sorry. There are a number of these incidents, and they may be gasped.

We all make mistakes. We all make mistakes. But this is what the American public is seeing, and it's raised concerns. Our poll shows over 80% responding saying that they think that Biden is too old to serve as president. And Jonathan, if press coverage focuses relentlessly, on things that don't represent Joe Biden's real body of work, you can push towards that kind of result. That poll should have been about. Who's actually working to secure our border? Yeah. See, it's not the media doing this. It's not the media. The media wasn't the one who concocted the Biden press conference last week, where he went out and it was, it was the evening press. It was bad. It was super bad. They didn't do that.

you have Mitch Landrow who's uh remember his wife used to be governor of Louisiana that's another campaign co-chair they're out there with their talking points they're trying to defend because this has been now i think that they allowed him to do that press conference and i told you it felt like it was a setup they allowed him to go out and do that press conference to expose him and show how off he is anybody who's ever seen joe biden in the past and sees joe biden now knows you're lying to yourself if you're not admitting that there is a major cognitive difference on him major. It is bad. And you have to, I mean, they've got to acknowledge this. This is Mitch Landrieu,

audio sound bite six. He's saying that this is all nonsense. He says this is nonsense that don't believe your lying eyes. Listen. And I'm telling you this guy's tough. He's smart. He's on his game. And as Secretary of Majorca said a minute ago, when you go on to brief the president, you better have your big boy pants on. And this kind of sense that he's not ready for this job is just a bucket of BS that's so deep, your boots will get stuck. Understood, but Americans don't agree with what you're saying. In fact, our NBC News poll found that 76% of voters are concerned about whether the president has the necessary mental and physical health to be president for a second term. And in addition to those guys, then you have Hillary Clinton out there saying, no, his age is a legitimate issue.

Listen to this, audio sound by eight. So the knives are out. Listen. Yeah. I mean, you know, I talk to people in the White House all the time and, you know, they know it's an issue. But as I like to say, look, it's a legitimate issue. It's a legitimate issue for Trump, who's only three years younger, right? So it's an issue.

Once you say that, then you have to also talk about what's at stake in the election. And I'm for Joe Biden for reelection on the merits because I think he's done a really good job as president. So she says his age is a legitimate issue. The knives are out. They're going to start pressuring him. every which way to step down. They've already amended their party bylaws, although in order to get your name on the ballot,

you do have to do things within a certain amount of time. And I think also they'll increase the chance that Hunter Biden sees some serious criminal activity as a way as leverage to further push him out. You even have Bob Costas, audio sound bite nine, who says that Democrats have got to jettison Joe Biden. Listen.

When it comes to Biden, this is like the truth that no one until very recently wants to say out loud, but my friends will tell you I've been saying it for four years. This is Emperor's New Clothes stuff. Joe Biden should have run on a firm promise that he would be a one-term president. The only reason he is president is that he's not Donald Trump. Then the Dems could have gotten a lot of people up in the bullpen, and they could have sorted through those people. If Biden's hubris is such that he doesn't...

doesn't understand the best interests of his party and more important his country, then he has to be shown the door. See, I think that Republicans and Democrats both have issues because you have half of the Democrats that Biden was like a holding place. He was just ever, he was only ever a holding place. He was only ever a way to kind of hold power. And they didn't really have to run a good candidate because there were people who just generally didn't like Trump.

There were a lot of people. I tell people this and they get mad at me. because they act like me saying this is somehow like stomping all over a politician that they adore. And it has nothing to do with Trump. I'm telling you guys, if you want to win, I look at this as someone who wants to win, which is why I look at strategy and I look at all these things. And I have to be honest with people. And I feel like the people who aren't being honest are the people who are fatalists.

And they're going to tank everything and they're not going to allow for us to strategize to win. and I view that as obstacles, and I don't like people getting in the way of victories, you know, where we have everything in the country at stake. that being said the problem with the whole Biden Trump thing Biden was a placeholder they didn't have to run they didn't have to waste a newsome they allowed Lusome to for Lusome oh my gosh why that's a verbal typo and it's same they just allowed him to ferment out in California and they just had Biden as a placeholder if they had ran him as a one-term president and then had been grooming someone to come up after him they would have been super powerful they would have been unstoppable going into 2024 but they're morons and they're they always get over their skis. And so you can count on that every single time, just like you can count on Republicans to screw up obvious victories. The problem with Republicans is that there were a lot of people who were really mad over immigration after 2016. They didn't see a wall getting built. I don't care if you, with some people you can explain, well, you know, you ended up losing the majority halfway through or you ended up with this, you ended up with that. It doesn't matter. People are

like, where is the return on the investment of my vote? Where are these results? And they were mad over and there was the Paul Ryan Amnesty thing that was entertained back in 2018. You got to be honest about that. But they were mad over it. I'm telling you, that was like the number one issue going into 2016. And that was one of the reasons that they were able to expand the coalition and get a lot of these voters in. And then when they didn't see it happening, they immediately turned. And one of the reasons that some people were supporting Biden is because they just were, they were disillusioned and they were mad after 2016. So they were kind of going both ways. You had a segment of the population that was mad over Hillary Clinton and went for Trump.

And then you had a segment that was mad that not enough got done over immigration. And it was like a hate vote for Biden. Biden would not have been president without Trump. If it would have been anybody else, he would not have been in the White House. This just would not have happened. And the phenomena of split ticket voting, the ability to, or the now like in Texas, we can't just get a Republican ticket and just one box and you vote for all the Republicans on the ballot. You can't do that anymore.

You've got to go one by one by one by one. you don't realize there are a lot of people who don't look at a lot of the judge races. They don't look at a lot of these other state races. They know some of the big ones at the top. But, you know, it is a responsibility. And I understand that people are busy and that they're working and that government has become so large and purposefully. So it's more difficult to keep track of. But you got to do it.

I mean, you have to because you would rather have too much to attend to, as Jefferson said, too much freedom than too little. And as a result, people don't, having to go. in the states now that don't, that do, where you don't have like the one, one party vote or one ballot and just vote for Republicans or Democrats, it's a little bit more difficult. And in Texas in 2020, that's exactly what happened right before the election. And there was a absolute measurable difference. And it wasn't because people's ballots were getting changed. It was just some would be, check, some wouldn't be some, you would have X amount of votes for this person. And it matched the number of ballots cast.

but there were people who would just leave certain things blank, including at the top of the ticket. That was a real thing that happened, and the RNC has not demonstrated at all whatsoever any interest in figuring out how to remedy that problem. And to me, that signals that they don't want to win. It's a real problem. Denying that it exists signals no desire to win.

It's a fatalist attitude. And it's a very real problem that's backed by math. And I've seen literally, I mean, I don't know if you've gone to Secretary of State websites and matched and looked at all of the number of ballots and looked at the states that you have to go in and vote for everybody individually, but I have, and it's a major problem. I know people in the RNC have looked at it too, but they have their heads up their butts and they're not paying attention to this very, very real problem. And so this is,

I mean, this is all the stuff we're looking at. We're going into 2024 and you have like an easily beatable guy and Republicans are still fighting with each other and not looking at this other more important stuff. You even have Biden's lawyer. This report that came out, by the way, this, this IG report that came out showing that he actually did, he did commit wrongdoing, but he's so cheesebrained that they're not going to prosecute it. They're trying to act like that's an exoneration. It's not an exoneration. I hate it when people do this. I hate it when Republicans, like Eric Greighton's out of Missouri, he kept saying that he was exonerated. That guy wasn't exonerated. He took a plea deal and he hid behind the fact that you had a corrupt Soros prosecutor and

tried to conflate her corruption with his corruption and act like her corruption got his corruption off the hook. I mean, that guy, no, there's a lot of receipts around that guy. But he kept saying he was exonerated. He wouldn't exonerate it. He cut a deal to save his backside. And that's what, and Joe Biden wasn't exonerated at all. This is his lawyer trying to rewrite special counsel, the special counsel's report on this. Listen, audio somebody, seven. This is a report that went off the rails. It's chappy work product. Let's let's take a step back. It starts with a legal conclusion that was foregone from the very beginning. The investigation could have been concluded in two or three months. It went on for over 15 months. And so along with the

legal conclusion comes this flood of characterizations, factual misstation, pejorative comments about the president that are inconsistent with DOJ policy and norms, and that as you see over the last 48 hours have been widely criticized by legal experts. This is not what prosecutors do. It is shoddy work product. It wasn't a shoddy work product. I mean, Biden did what he was said to have done. They're just mad because the special counsel was honest about it. There's going to be more coming out from a substack chapter and verse. My substack over there. Lorraine's got a piece that's going to be diving into the legal the legal aspects of this. We have more on the way, including the latest with this church

shooting in Houston that took place yesterday. And the ridiculous. semantics that trans activism engages in, which actually makes it more dangerous for the public when there's a suspect, like on the loose or a suspect at large. We're going to talk about some of this stuff too. We're also going to get into some of these other ads with the Super Bowl. The Bud Light ad was dumb. It was dumb. We'll talk about all that more. As we move, a lot of stuff to hit, as we move, our partners over at Hillsdale College. Maybe if more people were properly educated, we wouldn't have such an illiteracy economically. We wouldn't have such a spiritual illiteracy.

We wouldn't have such a foreign policy, illiteracy. But unfortunately, we do. It's an epidemic. It's a plague. And Hillsdale aims to fight all of that. They've been focusing on properly teaching people, not just about our American heritage, but about our natural rights and responsibilities as free citizens.

And this is what Hillsdale really prides itself on. And if you're unfamiliar with Hillsdale, it's a small Christian classical liberal arts college in southern Michigan. And they've been doing this since they're founding in 1844. They've looked into why, really, it's Gen Z and young millennials are rejecting patriotism and why the tenants of the founders are viewed as villainy and the removal of, you know, whether it's a statue or whether it's talking about repealing laws that protect freedoms. This is what Hillsdale all looks at and educates people on.

This is their mission to educate everyone. It's not about anything but merit and character. And to this effect, they've been producing these radio spots called Constitution Minute. There's 60-second spots that educate you about the really the principles of our founding. To hear a Constitution Minute, you can visit Dana4-F-O-R-Hillsdale.com. And while you're there, reserve a free copy of a pocket constitution for you, courtesy of Hillsdale. That's Dana4-F-O-R-Hillsdale.com. And now, all of the news you would probably mention.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five. So apparently, assaults, attacks on New York police are escalating to record-breaking totals. And the latest anti-cops sentiment, they say it's a full-blown epidemic. City cops are getting beaten at a record-setting pace. They say it's a trend-fueled not just by radical protests, but all of these people who enter the country illegally, bail reform, soft-on-crime prosecutors, etc. They said the number of cops injured by suspects surged 20% in 2020. when you had 4,724 uniformed officers that suffered injuries in attacks. Compare that to 3,933 in 2021.

But it grew worse last year because they said in the first nine months of 23, that's when you had over 4,000 cops injured by suspects. That's on pace for a record-breaking 5,400 something so far. That's crazy. And they haven't released the latest quarter of 2023. So that's happening at a record-breaking pace. It's a major problem. A Waymo Robo Taxi went up in flames in Chinatown after a crowd attacked the vehicle in San Francisco.

I think they're done with these things. So it was one of those robo, the auto, almost sentient, but like a, what is it, robo taxi, right? No driver. Apparently a crowd surrounded it, broke the windows through fireworks inside, setting it on fire. And they said that the autonomous vehicle was not transporting passengers at the time of the incidents. the new injuries were reported. I almost feel bad for it. I mean, they're just attacking it mercilessly.

It's like watching like a bunch of wildebeest that a watering hole attack like a calf or something. It's crazy. But nobody knows what incited the crowd to do it. But they said authorities are investigating the incident. Maybe because they clog up the streets and there are just a lot of problems, I think. Alaskapox, seriously? I feel like people are reaching everything. So this is from a couple of places.

Can I Peninsula. So Alaskapox virus, according to the state health department there, there was a fatality due to it. It was a guy who was immunocompromised, but it's apparently the first fatality from the Alaskapox virus or AKPV. It was discovered in 2015. It's related to other orthopox viruses like smallpox, cowpox, monkeypox. And they say that they're zoonotic viruses, so they go within certain animal populations and they can spill over into humans occasionally. she says that the AKPV infections will probably remain rare. This is one epidemiologist and that people who are not immunocompromised don't have anything to worry about.

And there's no evidence of person-to-person transmission. I just want to know how you get it from the animal then. I got some questions. Oh, man, we got a lot more on the way. And coming up in our third hour, Senator Ray and Paul, stick with us, the morning store. Elevate your commute, workouts, or downtime with the Dana Show podcast.

At Wellesley, Brookline, you know, cities and towns that have so much more resources than the city of Boston. Boston City Councilwoman Julia Mejia thinks more migrants can be placed outside of Boston. I think everybody needs to start opening up their doors because this is a shared responsibility. controversy over the placement of surging immigrants comes as a new report links immigrants who settled in Massachusetts to economic benefits for the region. So the Boston City Councilwoman is bemoaning the lack of space for people who've been entering the country illegally. And she's saying that everyone needs to start opening their doors. Has she done that? Out of curiosity.

How do people afford that? They're struggling to afford their own families right. now. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you. Top of this, actually bottom of this second hour. She says that people need to just open their doors. They are having, there are major issues right now. Major issues. I mean, I was looking at this story. They called it now the northern invasion. New York, New Hampshire, and Vermont see the highest ever border crossings as they say that illegal immigrants are taking advantage of lax laws to get into Canada. And they say that a lot of them now are trying to go through Canada rather than Mexico. And these are not people coming from

Mexico. A lot of these people are coming in from China and elsewhere. They had 12,200 apprehended crossing illegally from the North and 23. The year prior, it was 3,578. That's a major issue. A major problem. And like I said, they're not, these are a lot of, they're a lot of coming in from China and elsewhere.

They said that there were some, there were some males from Bangladesh. They're all young dudes, youngish dudes. And now we're seeing this explode. Border Patrol up there is warning people. They say the country's border with Canada, compared to its less than 2,000-mile-long frontier with Mexico,

is more than 5,000 miles long. And it has just 115 ports of entry compared with the southern borders, 330 ports of entry, meaning giant swaths of the border up there are entirely understaffed, if staffed at all. and they said that one Border Patrol chief has been raising the alarm about this for quite some time now. Chief Border Patrol agent Robert Garcia. He said that since October 1st of 2023, Swanton sector Border Patrol agents have apprehended more than 3,100 subjects from 55 countries. And they said just the other day, four adult males from Bangladesh near New York.

he said the record breaking and he included a photo the record breaking surge of illegal entries from Canada continues he says a citizens report in Champlain New York led to the arrest

of 10 Bangladesh citizens it's getting bad they have almost like hunting cameras well they are and many

they're like wildlife cameras that they have up there and they capture people entering illegally waiting through the snow coming in at night. And they said that it is, it's, it's colder.

So there's, that's one other reason why it's less manned. It's a lot colder and there's no fencing. There's a smuggling gang that has started sneaking in illegal immigrants from the north. It began in 2019. They bring people in illegally from Canada for $6,000. ahead. Apparently, they operate out of New Jersey. They know where they are. They settled there after they were released by ICE after they were repeatedly caught red-handed. A lot of Chinese illegal entrance,

Bangladesh, Africa, I mean, some Middle Eastern, I mean, there's a lot coming in now from Canada. and apparently they're, let's see, they describe it as scarcely guarded between Quebec and Vermont and there are only two ringleaders, both of themselves, who are illegal immigrants, who are arrested. There's a third that remains at large in Canada,

and that's just one little, those are just like three people, a part of one giant organization that are now doing $6,000 ahead, bringing people in across the border up there. It's going to get worse. Freezing temperatures, they said that at least one group of people brought in a baby a couple months old. Can you imagine?

I mean, it's just so irresponsible and dangerous. They say that people who, what they'll usually do is they go to, they fly to Mexico because it's cheaper to fly to Mexico apparently than Canada. It's a $350 one-way plane ticket from either Mexico City, Cancun or Cancun to go to Montreal or Toronto, and then from there, they cross in from the north. And they say they're less likely to be turned away from there than the southern border. Thirty-nine thousand people in her Canada last year via unofficial crossings. That was the majority from a spot between Quebec and New York State. So now, Reuters reported that politicians in Canada are considering imposing a visa requirement for people flying into Canada from Mexico.

Because they said that the number of people now flying into Canada from Mexico are reaching a breaking point and a lot of it's a one-way trip. And again, they're not all Mexican. A lot of most, I think that there are probably more people from different parts of the world coming in from Canada than not. But they said that this has been, this is becoming a major problem. It's going to get worse everywhere. In the meantime, what's happening with it? We got a, what are Ukraine bill? We didn't get the border.

Nothing done with the border. we have what are Ukraine they're fighting over Ukraine funding we're going to talk to Senator Rand Paul about that coming up yeah they're calling it the Northern Invasion now in the meantime while all of this was happening we uh the cultural

fight because you you have to have a cultural you have to have a culture worth for a nation worth existing the Super Bowl stuff switching gears the Super Bowl stuff the commercials yesterday there was the a Bud light commercial did they one or two commercials. Do you remember? Was it just the one?

Maybe they did. Seven million dollars, right, that they paid. It could have just been their CEO saying, hey, we're sorry. Nah, they're not going to do that. They would rather have people like Peyton Manning. Who else did they have? Post Malone. And they were in there for like a second in the $7 million commercial for a second.

And then they had, what, the beer fairy? But Bud Light, did it make you rethink your opposition? position to pee baby beer? I can't. I mean, for real, it's the Lee Kroy of the beers. I'm saying, you know, it's like they threw a Guinness through some water and then took that water and bottled it and then threw that through some water and then that's the Bud Light. Juan has some other commercial.

Let's see, what's it? Because when it came on, I was like, oh, here we go. Here we go. Again, they could have just said, sorry. All I can see is Dylan Mulvaney. Are you? The Bud Light, Jeannie. Yeah.

We get wishes? It's my thing. Gimmie's metal hair. Yes. Filthy, Ray. So filthy. Invisible? Predictable.

Giant bicep. Big one. A sweet ride. Best night ever! Maybe they could have wished for Dylan Mulvaney to have a vagina. What's next? Why didn't they do that with a sad? You see what I'm saying?

Like, does it make you want to drink by? Like, no. It just goes along with their whole thing. They think that they can just wish. I don't know. I think they can wish away their problems. They think they can wish. It's just so dumb.

All you got to do is just say sorry. All you got to do is go out there, dudes, and say sorry. We're sorry that we decided to send out this twink to cosplay as a chick. We're sorry that we did that. It was really offensive. It wasn't chivalrous. It wasn't manly and it wasn't hot. No, instead they're doing this.

And it just was like even goofier. You mean the T-Rex didn't make you want to drink the trans beer? The eunuch beer? The T-Rex didn't want you to drink that eunuch water. Is that what it is? That's what I'm calling it now. gender fluid. So gross.

It's true, though. You guys know it. It didn't make you want... No, I get it that POTUS has a relationship. The previous president has a relationship with Bud Light. They're having a $10,000 a plate fundraiser with the top Budlight lobbyists. I get it.

I'm still not drinking the gender fluid. I'm still not supporting it. And it's not... Quit saying it's an American company. You had Bruce Jenner, Caitlin Jenner. Why are Republicans... Like, why is Caitlin General on Fox? Why are Republicans throwing themselves

at Caitlin Jenner? I spent on this issue. It's a dude. And he's pushing Bud Light. A dude pushing Bud Light. What the hell of Republicans? What's mad? What's the matter with you people?

You're getting baited by the left in literally committing political Sepaku on an issue you were just winning on. It just blows the mind. So anyway, I guess, I don't know. So anyway, they, a $10,000 a plate dinner. I don't know.

Maybe that's why there's like this, this urge from some parts of the right to sit here and push this like reconciliation with Bud Light. But for reconciliation, you have to have an apology. You have to have an acknowledgement beyond, oh, we fired our ad person. You know, we fired this. I mean, you got to have a little bit more than that. You know, it's like with this and going into this, what Bud Light did, and there's a serious, more serious issue. The issue, for instance, just what we saw in Houston with this trans pro-Hamas killer that was going to go out and murder a bunch of Christians in a church.

This stuff, you might think that it's silly to like fight over beer. But do you know one of the reasons? What if this dude had gone on the run? They'd be looking for someone of the opposite sex who's white instead of. the actual gender of the killer, excuse me, who is Hispanic from El Salvador. This stuff is killing people. Bud Light helped to mainstream this with their stupid commercial, with their stupid ad thing with Dylan Mulvaney.

And all the people that are out there making apologies for that gender fluid, all the people out there making apologies for that Unic Water are helping to do it too. I don't care how much money you're getting per plate for a fundraiser. I don't care how much you, how many shares of the company you own. It's InBeb. It's not even an American company, Caitlin Jenner, so stop saying that it is. You know, you can sit, you're not any more of a chick than InBev is any more of an American company. Stop it.

But all of that goes into making this, not just a cultural issue, but one that you got to live with. And that your kids got to live with. How many trans terrorists have we had now? Let's think. The Colorado Springs killer was non-binary. The Aberdeen killer was trans. The Denver school shooter was trans. The Iowa school shooter was trans. The Lakewood dude was trans. The Nashville killer was trans. Do you get it now? It's more than just talking about piss baby beer that's Bud Light. It's actually talking about people who are getting killed because this, this fight over trans semantics has taken a violent turn. That is what they did. It's more than just insulting women by having Dylan Mulvaney cosplay as a chick.

It is about bringing this and trying to push it in society and justifying violence when society resists. It is about so much more than just culture and a beer and a beer commercial. It's so much more than that. all the people making apologies for, this is what you're apologizing for. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man.

All right. So first up here, A, let's see, we're just, we're talking about police getting injured. A Florida man was drunk and refused to leave a restaurant and injured an officer. Because, of course, he did. This is a pass coat news.

If I could get that. this story to come up. This guy named Joshua Vallejo faces charge. He had a warrant out, but he refused to leave a restaurant, got into a fight, did not leave peacefully when officers arrived to detain him. I'm like bored with this story already. I immediately want to get to the one from the villages. I got a villages one. It's a villagers. I love the abrupt ending. It's literally like the best way to do it. So the villages, they're really serious about their golf carts there, right? Now, I'm trying to figure out, so this guy's 45 years old. Yeah, how?

You're not old enough to be... He's not old enough to be in the villages, right? Maybe. The guy that we're talking about is 45 years old. His mugshot says, um, 60? I don't know. But this Florida man has been sentenced because of a golf cart crash. This 45-year-old guy, I thought you'd be 50 or older to live there.

Yeah, I don't know. This 45-year-old guy pled no contest in Sumner County. He had drugs and he was driving under the influence. He lost his driver's license. for six months. He has to do 50 hours of community service. His charge, possession of a controlled substance was dropped in exchange for his plea. He was driving a black 2016 Yamaha two-seater. He lost control of the, it says vehicle. It's a golf cart. It jumped a curb and hit a pickup. And apparently he had been drinking. He had a vape pin, which tested positive for THC. Oh,

but my favorite is what he was drinking. What? Yeah, yeah. yeah, this is the best. The affidavit notes that the Florida man was also in possession of a jar of old smoky's moonshine. Old smoky's moonshine. What flavor was it?

It doesn't say. Old Smok is pretty good. It doesn't say, I mean, there's like all kinds. I mean, you can get like, what is it? It's a Tennessee moonshine. They have, can I just say, they should, they literally

I have a cookie dough one. That seems to me gross. I got to say, that seems nasty. A cookie dough moonshine? I don't know. I had a banana pudding one. Moonshine. No, I get the chocolate and fresh strawberries one.

But cookie dough, like when I'm having cookie dough, the last thing I want is liquor with it, right? I don't know. But they got banana moonshine. They got, I mean, apple pie really is like as far as I'll go with a baked good moonshine. I mean, I'm from Missouri. It's literally enshrined in our constitution that we can, make moonshine. I'm not even exaggerating to you. It actually is. Anyway, so he had himself some

old smokies. The article does not say what flavor of the old smokies it is. He failed all his sobriety exercises and he was, had a 1.67 blood alcohol content. So there you go right there. Don't drink and drive a golf cart in the villages. Stay with us. Third hour on the way. I'm all wanted to clarify the position on TikTok. So the administration still has concerns and security concerns about TikTok even though the campaign has now joined it? Again, I cannot speak, nor will I speak for the campaign. I can't do that or their decisions. Nothing's changed about the national security concerns from the

NSC's perspective about the use of TikTok on government devices. That policy is still in place. But surely there must have been some conversation between the White House here in the campaign and whether it was appropriate for the campaign to use it. I can't speak to that. You can't? I mean, the White House did.

I mean, he went out and was like, hey, guys, I'm on TikTok. His campaign announced this on Sunday. They're like, yeah, we're on TikTok. He literally signed a bill banning it on all government devices that federal employees had. But now he's on it.

I mean, he threatened to ban it like last year. Here's a piece from CNN. Biden administration demands TikTok's Chinese owners spin off their share or face the U.S. ban. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lashier with you, top of this third hour. You can listen coast to coast. You can follow along on all social media. You can also follow on subsect, chapter and verse. Discussion at YouTube,

the video component, the simulcast of the radio program, also viewable channel 347, direct TV as well. So he was going to ban it. He said, you've got to spin off your shares. You're going to get banned. Apparently that didn't happen. I mean, they made that. That was his committee on foreign investment. last March via the CNN piece. And they were concerned about the data that TikTok was getting, that they were gleaning from people. They had the House Foreign Affairs Committee. They voted to advance the deterring America's technological adversaries.

They were preparing for like a full ban on this app. And they already banned it for all federal employees. But yet his campaign goes out there and I was like, oh, by the way, here we are. We got this ad. we have this situation. It's just a mess. They're a mess. He probably can't remember.

That's what Robert Hur was getting into. The special counsel's report. It's probably what he was getting into. They can't remember anymore. He just can't, he just doesn't have any mental acuity. He just doesn't know. So that was John Kirby that you heard the video that we played coming in.

He can't answer that question. They keep saying that we're going to have to, we're going to have to refer to you. You have to ask the campaign about that. Okay, the campaign is the president's campaign. I mean, he's a federal employee. He's, and now he and his campaign are on TikTok. Don't you think that sends a kind of a bad message?

You think? Especially when you're trying to push everybody off of it. But, you know, that's just the way. That's the way they're operating. It's the way they're operating. A few other things that we're touching on today. We have Senator Rand Paul as well, who's going to be joining us because there, he was going to be joining us video.

Now he has to do a phoner because he's going back on the Senate floor. They're having back and forths over. Actually, it's pretty troubling this. I'm going to pull this up. The bill for the Ukraine supplemental, they've got some shenanigans in this. They have a poison pill buried in the text of the bill that essentially, sets up like any kind of future impeachment of a Republican president, depending on how 2024 goes. So we're going to talk with him about all of that. Now, the other issue, because

we've been following the latest with this Lakewood church killer or attempted killer. And I had made the point a little earlier that this was a, a, of a, a, a pretty big deal the fact that you have, I mean, there was, it should not take more than 30 seconds to figure out the sex and physical description of a criminal, of a suspect, especially if public safety is at stake. But we have news outlets twisting themselves by semantics into these pretzels. And everyone seems to be trying to indulge the political sensitivities of the attempted killer than they do the safety of the innocent. Because this was a trans terrorist that had a free Palestine sticker on the rifle of his gun.

And they were identifying, I mean, is it a chick on testosterone? Did we ever figure it out? Or is it a dude pretending to be a chick? Regardless, from El Salvador listed as a white. You could be looking for a completely opposite sexed person who's not at all the ethnicity that, oh my gosh, it's just mind boggling. This is what I talk about when we say that, you know, the stuff like Bud Light and all of that, it's not just about beer and it's not just about a commercial.

It's about continuing to mainstream this stuff. Because now you literally put the public at stake, their safety at stake with us. Now, speaking of the public and other things at stake, I have a really dumb story. for you. I just saw actually this. New York City is a mess. They had their city council. Do you remember, was the guy's name Eric Garner? Was that the guy's name who was selling loose cigarettes? The Lucy, and he violated the Lucy law. So New York City Council some years back banned the sale of loose cigarettes, right? And they then, when they realized that they were continuing on abated, they instructed police per city council they instructed the police to more aggressively enforce these and force this

law and that ended up with a guy's death so now get this because it's all in the name of green the city council in new york is can is they proposed already to ban detergent pods and a number of different types of dryer sheets and a green crackdown and if you're caught selling them you pay a $1,200 fine. It's called the pods or plastic bill introduced by a moronic city council member named James Gerano. It makes, it criminalizes selling any pods and any laundry sheets if they use polyvinyl alcohol. Fines for selling the pods would start at $400, double for a second violation, $1,200 if it's more than twice. And they said it would require education and outreach to businesses on the ban for the first yeah. Now, PVA dissolves in water, but they say it breaks into microplastic pieces, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You're not eating it.

And if you're not filtering your water enough, then that's your problem, I guess. Can we just stop with this stuff? Now they're doing with the detergent pods. Yes, Kane, don't put it in slack. What are you saying? I just want to know why policy is pushed through that only serves morons. That is the result of what morons do. Why is policy set because morons do stuff? That's a million dollar question. It's absurdity. It's ridiculous. This is so ridiculous. $1,200 fine. That's nuts. They've solved all their other problems, apparently. So what do you think that's going to do? Now you're going to police cracking down on people selling laundry pods. I'm sure that's going to go a long way into helping ease back the increased assaults on NYPD, right? I'm sure that's going to go a long way. I've

been in laundromats where I actually bought a pot or two off of someone where I didn't have my detergent with me. I've done that. So that would be a crime? That would be a crime in New York. Yeah, you can't sell pods, no end of it. How much do you want to bet that this is like a, more about taxes than anything else? Because the loose cigarette sales, they, the Lucy laws, they, uh, they pushed that because they felt that they were losing a lot of tax revenue. And people would go out of their way to purchase singular. cigarettes. And then they ended up being told police were told to more aggressively enforce that law by city council and not months later. You got a guy who was killed because of it. Just wild.

So this is just pretty, this is pretty amazing. Pretty amazing stuff. Now, the Super Bowl ads, there were two Super Bowl ads that were, one of them was blasphemous and conflated. basically servitude with affirmation and the other was that it was a prayer app that Mark Wahlberg is involved with. That one seemed fine. The He Gets Us ad, so Lorraine was doing some

digging. The He Gets Us stuff, so check this out. That was the ad where they had all these weird AI generated images and they had like a lady who was in front of a Planned Parenthood Clinic and someone was washing her feet and then there was a Jewish person washing a Muslim woman's feet all this other stuff. Apparently, the he gets us, Perloreen, is the former marketing guy from Compassion International.

And they're funded by the Hobby Lobby family and the son of the Hobby Lobby family serves on the board of the organization. And they had previously, when they ran ads the last couple of years, they had a group, the group that was involved with that was called the Servant Foundation, but because they were for biblical marriage and pro-life, they didn't get a lot of support. So they, the He Gets Us campaign,

they created a new entity to handle that. And the son of the Hobby Lobby guy, it's a three-person board for that. And the CEO's from Compassion International. So yeah, that's, there's some of the backstory with that ad. But I just thought it was blasphemous because like I said,

it affirmed, or it conflate servitude with the affirmation of sin. And I just, they were bad. They weren't, they were so bad. I don't understand what the point of it was. Was it to say, like, unless you affirm this sin or if you object to this sin, then you're not being Christ-like.

Is that, because that's apparently, that's the message that I got from those ads. They were dumb. Now, the one for the, what was it, the Hollow app or the, the prayer app that Mark Wahlberg does, I think that one was fine. But Mark Wahlberg is not, he's not, doesn't push the social. justice nonsense that all these other people do. So that was it, that was a pretty good ad. That was a pretty decent ad. So coming up, Senator Rand Paul, like I said, he was going to join us via video, but he's going to be on phone because he's got to go back to the Senate floor. They're

having, they're duking it out over this ridiculous Ukraine supplemental bill. And there's a poison pill that's buried into it. We're going to talk to him about that and a few other things as well. So you don't want to miss that discussion because, you know, his, he's been opposing a lot of these, you know, spending bills, the big spending, the four and eight, all this other stuff. We're going to discuss all that with him here coming up. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. I don't even understand this first headline.

I'm going to skip past it because it's ridiculous. I don't even know what that is that. I don't know. Some of the stuff. Let's go to the Fairfield Police investigating a Santeria-type ritual involving possible animal origins. I only know

Santaria from that song. He doesn't practice Santaria. He doesn't have a crystal ball. Yeah. Fairfield Police, this is in Connecticut, are investigating a possible centauria type ritual

involving what they think is animal organs. They responded to a report of items found at a park that resembled such. They said there's been rising public interest in the investigation after images and information

spread on social media. They don't know who's responsible. I mean, is it a point? crank or is like an actual like someone was in the like did you just leave your little ceremony and like leave all your animal guts behind how did that does it make any they just like poof into the ether like was it a illegal immigrant that did it i don't know the police are urging residents to report any suspicious incidents directly to the police like if you see anyone you know chanting over animal organs in a park um then you know by all means let let law enforcement know about it if it's because it's probably weird just to say and they're probably

on drugs. I don't know. Let's see this. Ooh, California rainstorms brought and kept a lake at Death Valley. It was Badwater Basin, known for its salt flats. That's a real cool name. Badwater Basin. And they said at one point it was seven miles long two feet deep, but these historic rainstorms because of the Pineapple Express that lashed California recently,

they created, it kept a rare phenomenon around a lake at famed Hot Spot Death Valley. It's normally a salt flat, but that The rains were so heavy, and they had flash floods, remnants of Hurricane Hillary. It's the atmospheric river events. They said it a lot. It's too shallow to kayak in, but you can kind of like walk through it, and it's pretty, and that's about it.

That doesn't really serve any other purpose. It's just pretty to kind of look at, and all the influencers will be out there to take photos, making it really annoying. Parents are fuming after a Montreal area teacher listed her students' art for sale online without asking if it was okay to do so. A lot of parents are like, they want to bring their kids' artwork home, right? And they want to frame it and put it up. And this teacher literally sold it and didn't tell them.

She's been taking drawings that they make in class and selling them. And parents say they're outraged because she's making money off of their kids' stuff. Like this one 12-year-old had a piece of art listed for $150 on four different websites. Her drawing and those of other classmates appeared on all kinds of stuff. shirts and coffee mugs and iPhone cases and sometimes $35 for one item. And the parents said that they learned what happened when the kids were coming home from school, told them that a classmate found the teacher's website after searching for his name on Google. And they said within minutes, word spread around schools to what they found. But they have literally all their, like on these,

like everything. They, like they, she's monetizing all their stuff. I mean, they, and the parents are like, you're selling our kids stuff for profit and you didn't even ask us. You're using their, you're taking their intellectual property and their creations selling that without getting their permission, nothing, not even sharing any profits with them at all. That's crazy. So they said the school's called Lester B. Pearson. The Lester B. Pearson School. The school board said they were aware of the situation. They're investigating, et cetera. But the kids actually are really, the kids are upset. Like one 13-year-old was upset because he came home after he found that his self-portrait was posted on one of the websites and being sold. And he's, you know, they feel exploited.

I think that teacher's got to go, honestly, for doing that. That's, to me, that's a, that's a fireable offense. That's, that's too ridiculous. So coming up, Senator Rand Paul is going to be calling in. He's going to be headed to the floor. There's a poison pill in this Ukraine spending bill. It's even worse than it looks. looks like upon first glance. We're going to discuss it. Stick with us. Whether you're a policy wonk, a news junkie, or simply someone hungry for insightful discourse,

that Dana Show podcast has your back. Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. The bill basically creates an asylum corps. It creates a bunch of thousands of bureaucrats, basically, asylum agents, that would be empowered right at the border to either allow people into the country within a media. work permit, today they got to wait six months, you give them an immediate work permit, you're going to have more people coming. That's a huge magnet. Or they have the power to immediately release them and grant them asylum, which now puts them on a five-year path to citizenship, which is what a lot of Democrats want.

They want to turn a bunch of illegal immigrants into voter, into citizens, into voters, in the hopes that those people will then turn around and vote for them in future elections, grateful because they'll know who let them in. That's a huge problem. That doesn't solve the border. It makes it worse. This doesn't provide a path to citizenship for any of these people, just to clarify, but, but the, it raises. Yes, it does. Absolutely, it does. No, no, yes, it does. When you have asylum, you are on a path of citizenship. When you get asylum, you are a year away from a green card and four years away from citizenship. Absolutely. But you said you approved of the asylum and the power to grant you asylum, not even a judge, a bureaucrat. This is some of this,

this, this, I guess these poison pills that are in this bill, this Ukraine supplemental, a spending bill, more taxpayer dollars being sent to Ukraine, unaccountable. I don't even know what happened at the last billions that we sent over there. Welcome back to the program. Dana last year with you, bottom of this third hour. You can listen coast to coast terrestrial, terrestrially in one of our markets. You can stream it. Watch the simulcast, the video component as well, YouTube, Facebook, channel 347, direct TV. That's Senator Marco Rubio on CNN, blasting out the warning for that, what's included in this bill. But then also, there's this thing which I've been reading as well. And I'm trying to find, I wanted to read the language in the bill because I saw this from Senator Rand Paul

about with this Ukraine supplemental, apparently the other big bomb that's in this is this impeachment clause, an impeachment clause in this. So essentially if you're not, if you don't agree to continue to fund Ukraine, you could be impeached. This is wild. Senator Rand Paul was literally on the Senate floor just a few minutes ago. He joins us by phone. now, Senator from Kentucky. Senator Paul, thank you so much for joining us and for raising awareness on this because, you know, you guys get this, you guys see the language on this, obviously way faster than we do. And I appreciate you warning us about this because who knows what else is in this bill now? Will you please tell those listening and those watching what this is about? What is this

impeachment clause that's buried in the supplemental? Well, you know, last week I was sort of joking and I said, well, you know, they impeached Trump during his presidency. They impeached him when he was already not president. The next thing they'll do is impeach him before he becomes president. I was joking. And then J.D. Vant found this in the, and this is one good thing of having allies up here. He and his staff found this. The funding goes on into the next presidency. So it's not just funding for 2024. It's going to be for 2025 and 2026. And it puts penalties in there for changing the funding. So they're already covering there, you know what, in case.

Trump is elected, but realize this is the problem they impeach before the last time. He said that he wanted conditions. He said there was corruption in Ukraine. I think the Biden family was involved in it, and I want an investigation of that, and I want to make the aid contingent on this condition. And it's funny, the whole media went crazy saying quid pro quo, and it's like, well, aid is supposed to be conditioned. To me, it was always something that you should do.

It was maybe a little different because it was a political opponent, but it really was about corruption, and should they? have had an investigation should aid be contingent on it, yes. But now what it sets it up for is if President Trump is reelected or elected again, and he decides that he doesn't want to keep sending this aid and tries to stop it. They're setting him up basically for grounds to try to impeach him. Again, it's bizarre. But that this fact, that this appropriation is going to go over several years could actually be used to impeach Trump if he tries to stop it. This is wild. We're talking to Senator Rand Paul who joins us on the phone. This is wild to me.

And as you mentioned, here they went after him the first time because he wanted to, and it was really just a moratorium, a temporary moratorium, just to figure out where our taxpayer dollars was going, where it was going, and to look into, you know, what was the level of corruption here? So they penalized him because he was trying to, what, be accountable for taxpayer dollars and then look into the corruption with the Biden family on this. And now they have these penalties baked into this again. I've never heard. Is it unusual to have a penalty like this for a potential incoming president if they don't continue funding, that unaccountable funding for a different sovereign nation like this? There's no way it's accidental. This language is put it there on purpose. They couldn't shovel all the money out quick enough and they wanted to do it over an extended period of time. And they thought, oh, my goodness, we have an incompetent president that's not been even deemed able to submit to a legal trial because of his level of incompetency. he might lose. We might get Trump again, and we want to make sure this money goes out, but realize this doesn't happen with just Chuck Schumer.

This is Chuck Schumer, Mitch McConnell, joined at the hip, all supporting Biden. And this is McConnell with a small minority, at least in the beginning. 32 of us said no. We think we ought to address our own border first before we start giving money to other countries. And there's about 15, maybe 17 in the beginning. So basically, we had almost twice as many Republicans, going to defend the border first, but Mitch McConnell wanted the money to go to Ukraine first, didn't care about the border. They put up a border control, a border control bill that, as Marco Rubio just said on your program, and others have said, was a ruse. It wasn't any good. It actually, I think, was worse than the existing law. Probably one of the worst bills ever negotiated, but it was done, really, with McConnell's guidance because he doesn't really care about the border.

He just cares about getting the money to Ukraine. And how does Senator McConnell retain leadership? And when that fight comes up, is there a plan to replace him? And who would step into that, who would step into that gap? I think it's unknown. You have to realize it's a real small group of people. You know, unfortunately, only 49 of us. You know, it's never a lot. You know, if we win a couple of elections to get the majority, we could be at 52 or 53. But a lot of them, the ones you've probably never heard of, are dependent on McConnell for money. They don't raise their own money.

They're not that well-known in their own states, and they depend on him to get re-elected. And that dependency on the big corporate money, and his money comes, you know, his money doesn't come in $1,000. increments. His money comes in a million-dollar increments. So it's, it's, you know, hugely wealthy corporations that give to Mitch McConnell's Super PAC, and then that money gets funneled to members who vote for him, basically. And he's not averse to reminding the membership how much he's given them. It's not uncommon for him to tell each member in front of everybody else how much he's contributed to their campaign. So it's sad because it sounds like he's got, you know, obviously an ironclad grip on the direction of the Senate. And without any really any attention being given to

the border, I'm just, I'm just fascinated as to, not just his, I mean, the Democrats, I can kind of understand, but for someone who, you know, identifies as a Republican, you know, Mitch McConnell to make Ukraine funding their, their domestic issues more so than ours. I mean, I just had a story talking about how it's almost tripled the illegal crossings from the northern border coming into Canada, more mileage, even less staffed than what we have at the southern border. and even fewer legal ports of entry. I mean, this is, you know, on two different fronts now, and nothing, no concern from Senate leadership from Mitch McConnell.

His grip isn't as ironclad as you might think. I mean, it's more and more tenuous. There's more and more discontent. There's more and more dissent. There's much more public opposition. And a lot of times these have been private internal battles, but, you know, we had one election fight, but still, you know, Rick Scott got only maybe 25% of the votes.

But the caucus is changing, and I can tell you that his handling of this has made people who might have been in the middle and didn't vote against him last time, I think, more open to thinking about it the next time around, because basically he's going against what – I don't meet anybody. I go to Republican conservative events. I go to Lincoln Day dinners in my state. I meet people on the street. I don't meet one of my voters who comes up and says, oh, I'm so glad that you're not going to waste anybody stopping illegal immigration on our border, and then it's going to Ukraine. I know I'm so thankful you're doing that. No, they're horrified by it. And even the ones who might be willing to send somebody overseas, say, do it after you fix our border, sir. Please fix our border. Don't let 785,000 people come in in two months and do nothing and completely capitulate and then send the money overseas.

They capitulated. The border bill wasn't any good, but we could have stuck together. If 41 of us would have stuck together and opposed to say we have enormous leverage because the Democrats want to send this money more than the Republicans do. We could have held them up and said, instead of $5,000 a day, we're just going to acknowledge the emergency already exists. Instead of waiting to $5,000 to get to an emergency, the emergency is what happened over the last two months. We're going to start with one, and this will be an emergency, but we're not going to stop just people between the ports of entry. We're going to stop everyone for a while. We're going to have a timeout,

and we're not going to let any migrants in. We still have a lawful immigration. We still take a million, and we take a million people a year. And I'm not opposed to that. I'm fine with legal immigration, employment-based immigration, checking on people, making sure you know who they are, but I'm against unlawful mass migration. Right, right. We're talking with Senator Rand Paul at a Kentucky. Last question for you, Senator, going back to this supplemental. I was just looking at some of the notes here that Vance's office had put out as well. 1.6 billion foreign military financing in Ukraine, 13.7 billion for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative. The funds allocated expired September 30th, 2025, and that would be a year into, if Trump wins in 20, 24 this November,

that would be a year into his second term. Is there kind of a two-part question? Number one, is this bill, I mean, I feel like this bill with this in here is going to pass the Senate because it's so, it's so close. The margin of error and margin of victory that you have in the Senate is so close because of, you know, the seat, it's a balance of power. But is there any way, if something like this were to pass, can you sort of mitigate the effects of this after the fact? I don't even know how that would be done, but, you know, I'm curious.

Everybody listening to this program needs to write Speaker Mike Johnson and say, stick to your guns and don't bring this monstrosity up. This pays for welfare in Ukraine. It pays for government salaries in Ukraine. It pays for small business loans. You know, ladies handbag

shop was getting home, was getting small business loans from us. So this is a terrible bill, and it can be It's going to pass the Senate because Senator McConnell cares more about Ukraine than he does our border, but it will not pass in the House if it's not brought up. And Johnson has the ability not to bring it up. And the problem is, is many of his pronouncements have been good, only to be folded or changed later on. He passed Israel-Aid paid for, but now he's gone back on that and tried to pass it unpaid for.

And I think he wasn't successful. But the thing is, is he needs to stick by his guns on this. He has all the leverage in the world, and he could do what McConnell refused to do over here, and he could force them to take border security. If they want this, he should look them in the eye, say, real border security, which is like House Bill 2 or nothing, and stare them down. I really hope he does. I hope he sticks to his guns. A lot of people have been kind of wondering about how much political capital he has.

And I know that the last time around with that immigration bill didn't go so great for Republicans in the House. So we're going to see this time. But we're grateful to you, Senator Paul, for bringing this up to everybody's attention as well. and I hope to talk with you again soon. Thank you so much for joining us. Appreciate your time today. Thank you. Of course.

And that's Senator Rand Paul. And make sure you check out his, if you haven't looked at it yet, the great COVID cover up, his book, which is, that's like one of the most thorough books I think I've ever read. It's almost an academic book.

It really is. Not just like a political book. It's almost like a, it's like part political thriller and part an academic book. Like you could study it. Like you can have it in colleges. But that's pretty unbelievable.

And I'm looking at some of the wording of this now, that amazes me that you can apply a penalty to a future president or a potential president depending on the outcome of the election in November. Because Senator Paul, as he explained it, is right. So if Trump or, you know, God help us off, Biden is elected again. If any, either of them, just let's just say that Biden, you know, had a fetterman and like recovered in a smart way. If whoever's president, if they stop the funding,

the $1.6 billion for foreign military financing, 13.7 for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, what is that? Then you literally could be impeached for violating a

completely arbitrary budget law. Seriously. That's wild to me. And where is Mitch McConnell on that. Didn't he, wait, aren't they on there, aren't they visiting Ukraine? That's what I was wondering.

So that's, uh, this is pretty amazing. So this is a, this is, it's a way for the neocons in, uh, to try to, to, to force foreign policy on an administration instead of allowing for an administration to make foreign policy and direct it themselves. This is wild. Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you, get your podcasts because knowledge is your ultimate superpower. The most difficult part about a meeting with President Biden is preparing for it because he is

sharp, intensely probing, and detail-oriented and focused. Is he talking about Hunter? Or I mean, Joe Biden? What is he who is he talking about? No idea. That's Mayork is trying to sell us on Joe Biden being these things, because, because I don't believe that. And then listen to James Carville, say that Biden is not going to be debating.

There's not going to be any presidential debates. It'll be like the first election ever. This is so dumb. But listen to Carville on this. Well, don't accept the Super Bowl interview. I don't know, pulling averages, your three points down in a two-way. It's the biggest television audience, not even close. And you get a chance to do a 20, 25-minute interview on that day.

and you don't do it, that's the kind of sign that the staff for yourself doesn't have much confidence in you. There's no other way to read this. And he's not going to do debates. He is old. I know what it is

because I'm almost as old as he is. And it's never going to get better. You never, you know. Never going to get better. He's, and they're never, they're not. going to have a debate. It's just not going to happen, which is kind of depressing. It's just

weird that we're in that situation. Okay, today's stupidity came. It is Corrine Jean-Pierre. She's really trying to pass off. I mean, this is gaslighting Olympics here. Let's one, go ahead and play it. ABC News, Ipsos polls shows that 86% of Americans think Biden is too old to serve another term. That is a higher percentage than what we found in a previous pool in September. So clearly polling shows this. change that perception. So look, we're going to continue to lead on leadership, right? We're going to continue to focus on what this president has been able to get done, what the president has been

able to get done on behalf of the American people. And look, I'll quote a little bit of what the first lady said. I think incredibly well just a couple days ago. Here it is. President Biden does more in one hour than most people do in a day. Yeah. No, he doesn't. Like what kind of hour? Is it like a week-long hour? Folks, have a great night. Find us on substanti. Jack chapter in verse. God bless.
