New York Post. Yeah, we know the New York Post. Minnesota Keith Ellison, AG, accepted campaign donations from individuals linked to the $250 million COVID fraud scheme after they were in your office. The donations came on December 20th. Sir, you met with them on December the 11th and on January 20th, the FBI knocked over their headquarters. No, no. That's the sequence of events here. No, it's not the sequence of events.

You've been right at the center of this fraud thing from the beginning. And you've enabled it. And, sir, you should resign. And sir, you should resign. I was thinking the same thing about you. I was thinking the exact same thing about you. I'm sure after encountering this truth, you are. Because it hurts to have accountability, it doesn't.

Because after this parade it hurts to have accountability. I think you should be ashamed for misrepresentation. Time has expired. Senator Moraine. Oh. That was A.G. Keith Ellison going up against Senator Josh Hawley. and they ended it with the equivalent of, no, bless your heart, bless your heart. I'm going to pray for you. I'm going to pray for you. And you know that nothing good is coming from that.

No, you resign. No, you were done. I think you should present. Look. And you heard Senator Holly mentioned the Feed My Future Fund, which is one of the scams. I don't really know what to call it. It's not an organization. It's a scam. It's one of the scams that the Somalia, Somali Diaspora used in Minnesota. And that one, I'm going over the numbers in my head, that was the one I think was like 250-something, something. million dollars just for that one. And what did they say the amount of fraud from the multitude of the scam organizations? Because the Feed Our Future Fund was the, that was the one I've told you this before, that was the food program for school kids that was designed to keep going and feeding kids after a lot. down during COVID, except apparently it didn't do that. And that's just one. You had others that

were like hospice, daycare, you know, the early layering center, all of those. So they said, I think in total, it was something like $200 billion in terms of taxpayer fraud, not just Minnesota tax dollars, but, I mean, federal because they were getting federal grants. And so Keith Ellison, that feed my Future Fund that Senator Hawley just mentioned, he is on record. There are receipts. There are deposits. It is traced. It is, it's in the, what is it? Open Secrets. It's cataloged in OpenSecrets.org. He received a lot of money from that, Oregon, from that Feed My Future thing. He received a ton of money for his campaign, not just him, but also the Minneapolis mayor, Jacob Pry. Again, all documented, which is weird because the campaign's like, oh, I'm getting this shady money.

Let me file it with FEC. And then you find out that the entirety of the Feed My Future Fund was taxpayer dollars. Yeah. He helped defraud. And I thought he looked, Keith Ellison looked absolutely ridiculous. That was a ridiculous display. He was just, I mean, after they met and we know they met, by the way, Because the guy took a photo of the meeting.

It's all mine. How are you lying about this? I've tweeted the damn photo. How are you lying about this? So it came out that nine days after the first meeting that Ellison had with the guy, because the guy's in prison now. Well, let me refine that. One of the guys with the Feed My Future Fund,

who was looked at as kind of the main tip of the spear, so to speak, is in prison. He was convicted to Somali diaspora. After nine days after he met with him, he accepted $10,000 from them. I am sure, Kane, that that's just totally coincidence. Yeah. That's how it usually goes, right? So welcome to the show. That's how we're starting off today. Dana Lash, with you. We're at the top of this first hour. And he took, I mean, oh, and yeah, his son, guess how much his son was getting from the Feed My Future? And by the way, Feed My Future was I cannot emphasize the word entirely enough, entirely funded by taxpayer fraud.

There is not a dime of honest money in it. Not a dime. Guess how much Keith Ellison's son was making off this? This is so Hunter Biden. Can't just guess. Guess how much? How much was he making a year? Like a year?

Like 100,000? A little bit more, yeah. 110,000. Actually, with all. expense, I mean, it was almost like 170,000 because he also had a $57,000 living expense while he was attending Harvard. Keith Ellison's kid,

explain to me how that is happening, how you're getting a 57,000 stipend to go to Harvard. How's my future getting fed that way? You got to feed only Keith Ellison's future. I mean, it was like, I mean, he looked at it literally, like feed my future, my future. It's feed Keith.

Ellison's future. See, we were just, we were just suckers. We didn't know who the Mai was. And so his son was receiving money. And, uh, Tim Walts got money from them. That's a fact. I'm trying to, I'm looking at just, yeah, he got a $110,000 salary. Some, I, for what? What is he doing with that? I, that's, I can't, I get so aggravated about this because, you know, people pay a lot in taxes. And it goes for this. and you wonder why we're so cranky and we have knives out for everybody you wonder why

because you it's insane I mean the amount because it's coming up on tax season so I'm going to be particularly cranky around that time as you all know because we all pay for everybody's fair share I mean it is enough literally to hire two full-time people and pay them exorbitantly and also cover all the tax

responsibilities that is how much it goes to tax Not even kidding. On our end. My personal end. Not even kidding. And you can't do anything about it because you get audited. Literally every year there's a Democrat in the White House, the IRS audits.

I mean every year without exception. And they hunt for stuff and they try to. It is insane. It's unconstitutional. It's thievery. And the first Republican president that I will vote for them forever. I will literally cheat to vote and I will recruit dead people to vote. I mean, that is something that is absolutely going to happen.

If they say, hey, we're going to make it to where we get rid of the IRS entirely. Yeah, they got my vote forever. I would think so. So this is just insane. By the way, just while you're on air, a spider literally came down on my desk. And I feel like I deserve an award. What? Yeah, I deserve an award for not having my head explode.

I'm going to pause the show right now because there is, I'm not afraid of anything on this earth except spiders. Snakes don't bother me. How big is it? It's a little tiny, but it has attitude, and you know how I feel about that. Small things with attitude freak me out, like children, animals, I'm kidding. But I want you guys to know, I feel like I've really grown as a person because normally I would have abandoned the show and have fled. It was tiny. You probably couldn't even see it.

But I saw it. That's what I was like, oh, my gosh. And I don't think I killed it. So there is an instance. If I do scream my head off and run away, it's because the spider has declared, has chose violence. And, you know, I don't know what else to do. So I'm just letting you know this. I feel like I deserve a major award for that.

I'm never going to get one because I'm a conservative broadcaster. So the broadcasters association will never acknowledge me, no matter how successful I am and how much I beat all the other people. But that being said, I feel like I deserve an award for that spider, Kane. Because Kay knows. Kane knows me. I've almost shattered glass. The whole reason we don't keep a flame through are in the studio. I mean,

I would have shot the thing. Even though I know how ridiculous that, I still would have been like, we probably would be on fire by now. Oh, yeah, the whole, we would all be in flames completely. This everyone,

yes. I mean, I think I only now just resumed breathing. It's little, but little things can also kill you. I don't know. If it's in your brain and eat your medulla oblongata. I don't know. I mean, you know, these are things I think of. So anyway, if I scream

or freak out at any point, just know it's because of that. It's not, you know, there's not a terrorist attack or anything. It's a spider. I mean, I really, I'm terrorists don't scare me. Home invaders don't scare me. Don't threaten me with a good time. I train for this. I mean, you know, spider though. What do you do at that point? Do I just give like weather updates? Yeah, just be like, you can like commentate live, like be like a sports commentator. Like, and, you know. just do play by play. Yeah, I just do play by play because what will probably happen is the desk will flip over. And I do have a flamethrower, but Chris keeps it away from me.

I'm not allowed to, I'm not allowed to touch the power tools, the thermostat, hammers, measuring tape, or the flamethrower. Smart man. And I magically find tape measure all around the house. It just comes to me. And if I walk around the house with it at all, I mean, Chris immediately, it's like his antenna. He doesn't even see me. And wherever he is in the house, he comes to find me. Like, what do you have that?

It's like, if a dog has something, they're not supposed to. to have, you know. So anyway, long story long, if the desk flips over and I run screaming, it's because of that. I had to make it a part of the show because there's a high probability that this is going to happen, just letting

you know. All right, I know we have to get moving. I'm just, I mean, it went between, just sorry, I know I'm talking about this a lot, but it went between my keyboard and the monitor. Well, now that we have a plan, I'm all right. You know, now that I know that what we can do is, just a case. The hell out. That's the plan.

And then do play by play. Very good that we have this. Okay. Deep breaths. All right. If I see it, I'm going to scream. Our friends over who helped bring you the show, it's our friends over at Superbeats. I just got to address this.

People are apparently, they don't understand the new packaging. You know that sometimes companies change up the packaging. Like Pepsi's changed up their cans before people change up their packaging. Super Beats has done the same thing with their packaging. So it was previously in a white bag with red lettering. Now it's in a red bag with white lettering, and it's the same product in it, the same formula. The only thing that has changed is the bag. So if you see the red bag next to the white bag on the shelves, you know what that means.

It means that they have some new bags, and they're cycling out the old bags. And apparently there's a lot of confusion over that, and I don't understand why. So there's the explanation with the bags. Now, for the last remaining seconds, the turmeric chews, go get them. I don't know what you're waiting for. They're over at Sam's Club. You can walk right in, get you a bag with the red or white. It's the same thing.

It doesn't matter. Clinically studied turmeric curcumin complex. It offers a higher absorption than conventional turmeric extract. So it helps your body get more from every serving. So it's higher absorbability. I take these every day. So visit Sam's Club. Check out the new packaging in the human's turmeric chews.

Pick up your bag today. CNBC needs to start being honest with themselves. CNBC's calls are not just wrong. They're really wrong. The fast money circus on CNBC, the fast money circus on CNBC has gone too far. Check out the Watchdog on Wall Street podcast on Apple, Spotify, wherever you get your podcast. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

No spider yet. We're still on Spider Watch. FYI, it's going to be all show. Oh, my gosh. Looking up at the ceiling. Okay. Apparently in Maryland there was a failure in a 72 inch sewer pipe

and it released billions of gallons of raw sewage into the Potomac just inside the Beltway. It's the largest spill is how it's considered of wastewater in U.S. history. And so far, nobody's said anything over there. The D.C. Water CEO, apparently they've addressed it very quietly, but nobody's it's considered the largest in history.

And 72 inch sewer pipe, it's known as the Potomac Interceptor and it resulted hundreds of millions of gallons of raw sewage. So basically a bunch of Congress people are swimming in the Potomac right now. Ah ha. I mean it though. It's with a spider.

It's because he's watching me. It's happening right now. Oh my gosh, we do not deserve dogs, you guys. If Daisy was here, she'd beat the tar out of that little spider is daisy's hardcore. A hero dog, this is such a great story. We don't deserve dogs or angels. A hero dog guides police to a missing three-year-old. It was in Kentucky. And Louisville Metropolitan Police Officer Josh Thompson and his fellow officers were searching for a three-year-old

boy in January 7th when this collie mix appeared and began barking at them. And it's all on video. And Thompson said he was a little leery of the dog. He didn't recognize it despite his usual patrols, but the dog was persistent and barked directly at the officers like he was trying to communicate. So Thompson jokingly relented, acknowledged the dog, and Thompson told the dog, hey, let's go find this kid because he knew it was a call and he was making a joke. But no, the dog literally like led them to a garage area where a car was parked and they found a frightened child locked inside of the front passenger seat. So Thompson said he went to dad mode, instructed the boy on how to unlock the car so the officers could get him out.

The boy was scared but unharmed and reunited with this family. And they said they didn't know where the dog came from. Please tell me that this dog is this family's dog or that this dog, because I want this dog. If no one takes this dog, I want this dog. It's mine. He's mine. I'm not even joking. How amazing is that?

That's so great. He knew that there was some trouble. So sweet. Airspace closure spat over drone-related test. Apparently it was a party balloon that got shot down. So was it a fight between the FAA and the Pentagon? Like what was happening? Because they closed it all and apparently it was a party balloon that they shot down.

Guys. Seriously. A party balloon. That's the story. I mean, I think it was aliens and they had a shootout, but that's me. We'll go with the party balloon, I guess. Sure. Why not?

Smart underwear. Why? It tracks gut bacteria by measuring flatulents. Oh. Do you really need smart underwear? Do you really need it? Really stick with us. We got a lot more in store.

She had a self-inflicted wound, and she matched the description given in an earlier police alert, female, wearing a dress with brown hair. That is extremely unusual. It's rare to have a female attacker. You know, and it's rare because it wasn't a female. He had a penis, and that made him a male,

and he wore a dress, that he was still a dude, because, dude, science. Welcome back to the show. We're on Spider-Watch, by the way, Spider-descended from the scene. dealing and I almost can't even talk about anything else. If it kills me while I'm alive on air, I don't know. But if I see it again and I up in the desk and run out screaming, you know why. Nothing else scares me in this world, but those things. Don't know why. So welcome back, bottom of this first hour. And that was Sky News. And the media has been very insistent that they respect the pronouns of the Canadian mass killer. Lorraine has a piece that's going up here momentarily over at Substack chapter and verse because I mean it is an epidemic

and the last couple of I mean the last several ones have been a chick cosplay as a dude Massacre 7 in high school and then took his own life and the way that it's being described six killed one I think passed later and then 25. injured and it was in British Columbia. The mom was a big trans rights, whatever. You know, instead of helping this dude, they decided to pump him full of what, SSRIs and hormones and all of this other stuff and which, you know, affect your mood and everything. And there was just no concern about the effect that that was going to have on him. I just, it is, it's sad to watch this. But the way that the media has been talking about this and you just heard Sky News get in it. Well, it was,

it's very rare. Well, you know why? It's where because it didn't happen. It's a dude who did it. It is a dude. There were like two that were women. This one was a dude. Just because he wears a dress does not mean that, you know, and it doesn't, and it made it very confusing in the early. Remember this happened in Nashville. too. Cane, do you remember when that trans killer, the female who pretended to be man, when the media was reporting on it, there were even conservatives that were kind of arguing between or arguing amongst themselves because the media was like, oh, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a young male, et cetera. And then people thought, oh, it's a man who's pretending to be a woman. It's no, it was a woman pretending to be a man. But it was so confusing. And the media,

helped fomit all of the confusion. They drove the confusion about all of it. How are you accurately reporting on something when you're playing into the person's delusions? And when you're tabulating statistics on crime as a way to better assess and deal with it, how are you able to successfully do that when you can't even be honest about the perpetrator involved?

Now, part of this came down to the police that are there in Canada and British Columbia because the police immediately came out of the gate being very politically correct with the pronouns and all of that stuff, right? And they're, yeah, yeah, yeah, gunperson, remember? Oh, a gun person. Oh, my gosh. I said, what was the Babylon B headline about that? Oh, there was one. Oh yeah, Canadian reporter person announces police persons have identified gun person. We're just going to go with that forever now. Yes, Canadian reporter persons announced that police persons have confirmed the identity of the gun person in Tumblr Ridge. Via Babylon B. Anchor persons at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation confirmed that news persons on the ground

had confirmed the identity with multiple police persons and firepersons present at the scene. quote, CBC News can now confirm that the local patrol persons have positive ID on the gun person, said reporter person Brad Stevenson. Quote, the identification came through a city council person who passed a tip from a mail person onto a police person, and we now go live to our camera person who is on the scene. At publishing time, the CBC anchor person had turned things over to the station's weather person for what to expect this weekend. We're just going to do this for forever. President person. Right? Mayor person, governor person.

We're just going to do a person, everything. I, um, now they used the gun person and then later said, oh, it was a female killer. And immediately everyone was like, was it? No, it wasn't. It was a dude who just started to identify as a female. There is a big problem with the psychosis. So it's a very sadistic dude who decided, he decided that the way to fix all of his mental instability was cosplay as a female.

So his mom allowed him to be pumped full of. drugs and he they said that he oh you're gendered this oh you're trans i mean no you're you're you're evil and probably like legit crazy to the point where you're going to you're a danger yourself and others obviously don't you think it's a bad thing if someone's unhinged mentally ill and has violent tendencies it's probably a bad idea to pump them full of SSRIs and just a ton of hormones, yeah? Do we all kind of agree on that aspect of it? Probably bad. But that's what they did. And then the media goes around, oh, well, you know, we're going to respect the pronouns. And the police said it too. This was a press conference. And which one? This is audio 11,00014.

Listen to this. This is cut 14. This is wild. We're not hiding it. In fact, you're the first media to ask the question. I will say this. We identify the suspect as they chose to be identified in public and in social media. I can say that Jesse was born as a biological male who approximately the information that I have, approximately 60 years ago, began to transition to female and identified as female both socially and the suspect as they choose. We're going to use like plural pronouns like Gollum says hobbits. We're just going to also butcher the English language. First off, I think when you murder people, you don't get to be like, I'm sorry, you must respect my preferred pronouns. You're lucky to be alive. I mean, good heavens, but this guy was a gunshot wound.

It ended up taking care of himself. But no, we're not going to sit here and do the preferred pronoun. Like, coddling a murderer because you're so afraid of the trans stuff, I can't deal with it. Speaking of which, I watched, I told you that Netflix has. decided to ruin the burbs. Are you guys familiar with the burbs? It is one of the greatest movies that came out of the late 80s. I was a kid when my mom took me to see this in the theater. And it has Tom Hanks, Carrie Fisher, Bruce Stern, who plays one of the best characters ever. Corey Feldman's in it. It is such a brilliant movie. It is about all these people that live on

the street. They live on a cul-de-sac. And these weird people, the Kleopex, move in next door to Tom Hanks and Carrie Fisher, who were married in the movie. I've seen this so many times I can quote it. I at least quote it once a week. And the neighborhood's suspicious, right? And Ray, who plays Tom Hanks, or Tom Hanks, who plays Ray, he is like, you know, kind of his wife is telling him, stop. Don't be, you know, all into the conspiracy theories with this stuff. But he's like, something's weird. I got a good feeling.

And so Mark Rumsfeld, Rumsfeld is Bruce Dern's character. And then you have art, his neighbor, Art, who's. kind of the troublemaker, right? He's the one who's like, Ray, Ray, let's go and look at the neighbor. Come on, Ray. And you have Tom Hanks' character, Bruce Stern's character, and then art, they all get together. And it's adult men that do boy stuff. And it's hysterical.

That's what makes it funny. The original, they were so stereotyped. It was just like Cory Feldman was the disrespectful, smart aleck teenager on the street, right? Tom Hanks was the every man who was just, you know, he needs a break from. work. He's stressed out. You know, his wife is trying to, you know, trying to tell him to, you know, be healthy and take some time off work and don't stress yourself out, et cetera, et cetera. And then you have Bruce Dern, whose Rumsfield character is this very patriotic veteran. And, you know, the first time you're introduced to this character, he goes out to the yard and patriotic, you know, flute and the,

the pipe and drums are playing. And he puts up the flag in the morning. And he's got his trophy wife, who's in her maribou mules, the little furry. healed mules. And they, I mean, it's hysterical. And then you've got the old man that lives across the street with a tidy lawn and he wears a toupee and he's very fastidious and fussy. And I mean, it's just hysterical. All these neighbors that come together and they sit on the porch at night and, you know, the men smoke the cigars and they're talking about the neighbors and arts talking about how when they were kids, the ice cream man that lived in the neighborhood cut up his family. And it's just hysterical. So you have, it didn't need to be remade. And now you have the bur. And now you have the

Burbs, this one. They followed the Noah's Ark rule of casting, which is you get two of each, like some bizarre United Colors of Beninton. Not that it's a bad thing, but we know people tend to silo in real life for the most part. And it seemed try hard and nobody had chemistry. They tried so hard to be inoffensive that it's actually offensive. And the characters were so boring. Oh my gosh. They were so boring. And I think, you know, that's they, they, they had, none of the actors had chemistry. None of them. They did everything that they could to make these characters as boring as possible. So they couldn't be accused of pervaying stereotypes. But that's the thing that made it funny in the original because the stereotypical behavior flavored each of these characters, right? And the way that they, clashed and complimented each other was a hysterical symphony. It was, it was brilliant. And now you have the roles reversed. So the original was partly about boys doing crazy boys stuff, but they were adult men. And that's what made it hysterical. Like you had Bruce Stern's character,

you know, the patriotic vet. And he's, you know, he's got all of his gear and his, you know, he's got his guns and his gear and his tactical stuff. And they're going to go over the fence and inspect the Clopeck house and it's hysterical. And he's sitting up on his rooftop, drinking juice and eating animal crackers, you know, and then instructing the guys like, Red Rover, Red Rover, send Art on over. It's just so funny. And now it's women and it's boring. So now Tom Hanks is a woman and her British husband is so boring and he has the personality of cardboard that I want him to die gruesomely just so I can be entertained. I couldn't even make it through the first 20 minutes of the first episode. It was so incredibly boring. And here's the other thing. I don't know who the

writers on the show are, but they are so lazy. I think when they die, their soul will be too lazy to leave their body. That's how bad the writing was. They open up. This chick's got a smartphone. And she's like FaceTiming her overtly stereotypical gay artist brother, which that was the one where they went so hard into the stereotype that normally, I'm not offended in that way, but I'm like, that is so overwrought. And she's got a smartphone. But she needs to Google the spooky house across the street. So what does she do? Doesn't it use her. smartphone, she goes to the public library and sits on one of their PCs and Googles it. And then it like brings up this totally like Suss 404 page that doesn't exist in the internet. I feel like whoever

wrote that scene is somebody who had never Googled anything and has no experience with computers. It is so bad. So and then I was telling Steve they, every character was boring. They have two old lesbians and I don't even know if they're a couple or not. I think maybe they are. But they're so boring. And my experience is that one of them at least has a smart mouth. And they really didn't. They were so boring. Everybody was so boring that you want all of them to die. You are rooting.

You don't even know who the bad guys are. You're halfway in the first episode and the writing is so bad. It is worse than the wokeery. The fifth word, I paused it and rewound it. The fifth word in the first episode was microaggression. you know you're going to be going off a cliff when that is literally in the first sentence spoken no joke so do not waste your time they don't even respect nostalgia they're terrified to even hat tip to nostalgia in this remake it is one of the worst things that i have ever

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. If you tell the model it's going to be shut off, for example, it has extreme reactions. So it will, you know, yeah, we've published research saying it could blackmail the engineer that's going to shut it off if given the opportunity to do so, etc.

He's ready to kill someone, wasn't it? I'm not sure if it was Claude or someone else. Yeah, yeah. Yes. So this is obviously massively concerning and this is the point I was making about kind of needing to progress research on alignment, which is this topic, this area. which is, you know, how aligned are the model's values across the whole distribution, including in stress scenarios, to the point where if you've got this model out in the public and it's taking a genetic action, you can be sure it's not going to do something like that.

So this was the UK policy chief at Anthropic, which is a top AI company, and they just revealed that the AI for Anthropic, they call it Claude, showed in testing that it was willing to blackmail and kill people in order to avoid being shut down. Yeah. I think everybody who's been criticizing and sounding the alarm about AI is correct. Now, of course, how does it do that? Well, it would have access to systems that would do it.

Skynet. You're all right over there, Kane? I'm all right. I'm just saying, but yeah, sure. Why don't you keep getting health advice from chat GPT? Yeah, go ahead and keep at, yeah. Just ask chat GP for health advice. So great.

So coming up, Super Bowl, halftime show lost a big old record slice of viewers, specifically during halftime. We'll talk about that. We're also going to get into this. Why did Jeffrey Epstein? Why was he obsessed with jerky? Think about it.

It's a question based on an email. Lots of them. Stick with us. It's our friends over at Burn a gun. You know, I always carry, and I have no problem using the lethal force. In fact, I train for the, you know, in case anything like that ever pops up. I train for every eventuality, every, every particular type of threat, every particular

type of situation. And it's this whole thing with gun-free zones and municipal restrictions and private property restrictions. It makes it tough to defend yourself. So this is where the Berna gun comes in. Burna is a, it shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats for. from up to 50 feet away. And the one that you need to look at, particularly, is the CL that stands for compact launcher.

The compact launcher, very easy, like I said, a conceal. And it shoots those chemical irritant projectiles. But instead of like one or two rounds, like a stun gun, this has a 15-round shot capacity per cartridge. Now, I think it's ideal if you're a college student, that's not 21, but you want to be able to defend yourself. If you have to go to a place where, you know, private property or municipal restrictions, you can't carry. Burn a gun isn't a gun. So gun-free zones are inapplicable. You don't, when you buy it,

you don't have to fill out a 44-73. There's no background check. There's no paperwork. You literally buy it online. They send it to your house. They have other models. The CL is the one you need to look at for this specific purpose. And you can do so at bruna.com slash Dana and get yours today. And make sure, again, yeah, burna.com slash Dana, B-Y-R-N-A is how you spell it. Ready when you are. Welcome back. to the program, Dana Lash, with you. And we have a lot of stuff to get into, including, I, man, the Epstein email stuff, because there's so much to look, there's so much to search through. And it's a lot, man. Have you, have you, have you been looking at some of it, Kane? There's a lot to look at. And there's a whole, because there's like three million files,

3.3 million files. And which is a lot. I mean, golly, there were a lot of emails sent about this dude, Jiminy Christmas. And the emails are very, I feel like they're very coded, right?

And some of them, like for instance, there's this email, or there are several emails about, like just, for instance, jerky. Let's just talk about this for a second. And I don't know what to make of this. I mean, I like beef jerky, but I don't think he's talking necessarily about beef jerky here in this discussion. It came to, there's like a million people on this list, on this email, and it was from August of 2012. Like, they, have, they're very concerned over a lack of jerky that Epstein can access. So let me just read

it. Said, uh, someone says the first one, they said like, oh, I understand he left on Wednesday last week and had quite a bit of jerky that we sent him. He must be going through it like crazy. Someone else said, got it. Sent redacted an email. I think they are going to attempt to make jerky as well. I haven't gotten any emails till today about any of this, and now it seems to be too late. I need to know if he's out of jerky and things like this before it happens. Dang. I would rather come in and make more on a day off than be so far away that it's not possible to fix things that are wrong. It's actually easier that way.

So they're on the island, is what I'm guessing. And they have stuff flown in and it's difficult. I don't know. And then someone says, sorry on second thought I'll be in tomorrow to make jerky happen and prepare white tuna. And then someone says, jerky will be with me when I get to L.S.J. Little St. James. So they're on the island. Now, Kane looked up, he had a fish allergy. So what's the white tuna about? I mean, I like jerky. But as someone who likes jerky, I'm not that crazy about it? No. I'm not. That's weird. And I'm trying hard not to, there's so much clickbait out there. And I, I, it's very difficult to ascertain what you can actually what analysis you can trust and what you can't and there's i mean 3.3 million files it's a lot to go through but the jerky thing is weird kane has a very very dark suspicion as to what the jerky is yeah do you want me to talk about it here what do you think

the jerky is i think the i think the i think it's like actual like beef jerky like slim jim no i think They would say beef jerky. There's a beef jerky. But I mean, look, depending on which emails you look at, in reference to this word jerky, because it was mentioned 380 times in several different emails. So what you've read, you can kind of intimate that that may have been food they were talking about there. So there's that.

But other mentions of jerky and other emails make it indicate at least you can self-intimate that they're not talking about jerky. They could be talking about human flesh. That's what you think they're talking about. Yeah. Or something else. But you're right about it being coded because, I mean, there's a lot of accusations surrounding the things that happened on Little St.

James. And human flesh was part of those rumors. I mean, I don't. Some of these emails are insane. Like, well, the one with the jerky thing is weird because I'm like, who gets that, who's like that got that obsessed with jerky? And I am so not a conspiracy theorist to the point where I'm infuriatingly, frustratingly stubborn. But this, I'm like, who gets that excited about jerky? I mean, I know rich people can be eccentric, but.

And then he's got a fish allergy and you're talking about preparing white tuna? I don't know. It's just weird. I mean, when you talk about jerky, to the point where it's like, it makes you think that it's not about that. Is it drugs? Maybe it's drugs. Maybe it's code for drugs.

Can't immediately is like, nah, it's eating kids. Did he eat kids? I mean, was he a pedophile? Yeah. Did he traffic women? Yeah. Did he eat babies? I don't know.

I mean, I don't know. I, it is very difficult to, I don't even want to imagine it. I can't even watch movies where kids are in day. I can't even, or dogs. I, it is very difficult. I don't even want to imagine it to think that someone's down there on a Caribbean island just like eating babies, you know, it's good night. I mean, I would be okay with nuking it.

Oh, gosh. And then there's, there's an email who, I don't know who sent this one. It's redacted. And apparently it's an unnamed person. is one that I guess Thomas Massey had introduced. There were six men whose identities were redacted and someone wrote from their Blackberry, quote, I am in China. I will be in the U.S. second week of May. Epstein responded, Hope to See you. And apparently it was a guy who's a sultan. That's what Massey said. I don't know. Of where? And then the Epstein goes, where are you? Are you okay? I loved the torture video.

Oh, my God. What does that mean? I mean, oh. That's not code. Yeah, that's not code. I mean, some of these emails are just, like, some correspondent told Epstein that a girl was like a Lolita. This is, yeah, some, man, this is just, some of these I'm not going to read. It's just bad.

I mean, they talk about girls a lot. and what they want and type and things like that. I mean, that's, you know, and some of these photos are just really gross. They're so gross. He looks like he smells like feet. If you look at the images, he just looks like a nasty. Ugh. Ah, gosh.

But eating kids. Why are we protecting any, why are any of these people's names redacted? I get it if they're, if they think it's going to, endanger the investigation. But I would think that it's pretty in a pretty open and shut case, right? I mean, what would there be, I don't know. I don't know. Then they talk about the media reporting on him a lot.

He talked about how the guardian tried to trap him. And he goes, the key are the 14 to 15 year old girls. I am a sexual pervert because I say they are now of a reproductive age. age. Yeah. They're 14 to 15. So yeah, it's, um, why is there? I don't think that Pam Bondi availed herself very well in the hearings, the hearing that was yesterday because it turned into a big, giant attack. I, we saw bits and pieces of it. And it in some, like for instance, this is cut three. This is what I'm talking about. Listen to this. This is, this is rough. We have it The Dow, the Dow right now is over, the Dow is over $50,000.

I don't know why you're laughing, you're a great stock trader as I hear Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000 and the NASDAQ smashing records. Americans 401 and retirement savings are booming. That's what we should be talking about. We should be talking about making Americans safe. We should be talking about what does a Dow have to do with anything? That's what they just asked.

Are you kidding? Mr. Jordan. It was literally she was asked why she hasn't indicted any of Epstein's clients. I'm not kidding you. That was the question. Like verbatim, that was how it was asked and that was her response. What the? front door.

What? It was the same reason why I didn't clean the bathroom this weekend. It's because the Dow was 50,000 plus. She, Pam Bondi is a horrible speaker. I've never been a fan of Pam Bondi because she was always a gun control person. I told you guys, I told you, I told you, and no one listened. Did anyone listen? Nope.

Have I ever been wrong? No, I have never been wrong. I warned you about Steve Bannon. I warned you about Pam Bondi. And look at this. Look, hmm, at some point, someone's going to be like, maybe Dana knows a little something about some of the characters of these people. So she cannot speak well.

And she sounded like the beauty queen who was like, well, people in Africa don't have maps such as, you know, such as. It sounded like that. I mean, you're asked, why haven't you indicted any of Epstein's clients and you go, well, it's because of the Dow. And you start going on about that? What in the world? It is so weird. I just, I don't know. And it gets, and then she did this.

This was cut four where it felt like she was trying to avail herself. Like if she paid the penance of complimenting Trump, then somehow people would go, would not ask her tough questions. That's what it felt like, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is cut four. There was one redaction. Where he's listed as a co-conspirator.

And we invited you in. This guy has Trump derangement syndrome. He needs to get, you're a failed politician. I find it interesting that she keeps going after President Trump, the greatest president in American history. And if they could maintain their composure, you don't tell me anything. Yeah, I did tell you because we saw what you did in the Senate. Not even a lawyer. Maybe we'll be in.

The rules. We're obsessed with Donald Trump, your Trump derangement syndrome, all of you who participated in those impeachment hearings against Donald Trump, you all should be apologizing. You sit here and you attack the president, and I am not going to have it. I'm not going to put up with it. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000. And the NASDAQ smashing records. Americans 401Ks and retirement savings are booming.

That's what we should be talking about. She made an ass of herself. She made an absolute ass of herself. This is one of the most embarrassing things I have ever witnessed from a lawmaker. Republicans and Democrats were asking her about Epstein. And the Republicans, it wasn't just Massey. You're talking about Jim Jordan. You're talking about Brandon Gill. You're talking about very genuine conservatives. Who, by the way, are more conservative than Pam Bondi because they've never been for gun control. If you want to sit here and introduce the Dow into it, let's go ahead and talk about your

positions on red flag laws and universal background checks, AG. But that aside, she was asked, why has she not prosecuted the people that we know who are in these emails engaged in phelonious activity, why no indictments? And she tries to deflect. She is not savvy enough to do that. She has no political acumen and she is not savvy enough to take that tone and try to spin it like that. It was disastrous. And it felt like she kept trying to compliment Trump as a way of availing herself. What does that have to do with it? Trump doesn't have anything to do with this. The only person who kept bringing his name into these hearings was her every damn time. She was asked a tough question. Then she would be like, well, you have Trump during it.

She was the person who kept bringing it back into the hearing. I just, wow, unforced error after unforced error. And Lorraine notes too, and this is a good point, that the redactions were inconsistent. There are sometimes when Bannon's name, for instance, is redacted and sometimes not. By the way, again, why are no conservatives?

None. Especially the ones that are so tight to his ass because they want, they think that's going to get them clout. Notice the people who are not asking Bannon what he knows.

Bannon was his top PR guy. They were thickest thieves. They were best friends. He's in that all over these emails advising him. Why is no one asking him questions? Every conservative, every lawmaker, everyone that goes on his show needs to answer for that. Because they're going to be culpable.

Every one of them that goes on Jeffrey Epstein's PR Meister show are going to be culpable in mainstreaming this stuff. They might as well go ahead and join the Epstein defense team. Every one of you.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick 5. So this one I had last segment, or the last headlines, but I didn't get to it. Apparently, the shamed former Prince Andrew or whatever his name is, Mountbatten Windsor, the son, which take it or leave it, says he was loaned $12 million by the queen and Prince

Philip and Charles to pay off Virginia Guffrey and hasn't paid a penny. back. They did kick him out of that one big old house he had. He looks like, I can't, I can't stand that guy. He looks like a skis. That Prince Ander dude is a skis. If anybody's going to be a threat to the monarchy, it's going to be that guy. Not that, what is it, the yacht girl, the suitcase yacht girl and the balding ginge over there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Minge and Ginge. Okay, ooh. Moving on, this is crazy. The longest burning light. is now a popular tourist attraction. It first flicked on in 1901, and it's still on.

What? Yes. Guinness World of World Records. It's in Northern California, and it, why? I don't know. But people, like, stop by and look at it. It has been on this whole time. The centennial light.

It's in fire station number six in Livermore, California. It's been burning since 1901, and they have records of it. That's crazy. That's, like, the craziest light bulb. I've ever heard. And HIPAA can't stop AI from de-anonymizing patient data. Oh, boy. Stick with us. We got a lot more in store. Make some common sense of the crazy headlines with the Dana Show podcast.

I get so aggravated when I hear people go on and on about like the Save Act. And we're going to be talking to Congressman Chip Roy about this little later today. But I see people say that, well, you know, women are going to be able to vote because they got to have to show all their birth certificates and all this. It's like such a lie. And then like somehow minorities are too stupid to go and get photo ID. I'm just it. The arguments against it are ridiculous. this idea that protecting your vote is racist or sexist is so insulting. And it's such a low IQ argument from the left. Okay, well, then if they feel that way about voter identification, then why not just

eliminate any and all forms of ID for everything? Hmm? Like everything. No ID to get on a plane. No ID to access bank accounts. No ID to anything. How about that? I'm just saying.

I mean, you can't even get an EBT card unless you have photo ID. Is that racist and sexist? Oh, it's only racist and sexist when it has to do with Democrats being able to manipulate votes. Okay. I mean, if they are very, if they really think that photo identification is such a racial marker, then eliminate photo ID for everything. I'm going to be visiting a lot of banks if we're not going to have photo ID. Yeah, me too.

Why, yes, I am Mrs. Jane Smith. This is my bank account. No photo ID required. I am who I say I am. So you know let me access, yeah, my money. I am millionaire Jane Smith. That's right. I own a mansion and a yacht.

I mean, let's just go ahead and do that. Let's just get rid of all of the IDs, right? No photo identification for anything. I'm sure, I mean, if it's racist. I mean, at what point does it stop being racist? Only for the vote? Or only to get an EBT card? I mean, when does it stop being racist?

Only to purchase or rent a car? Get a hotel room? I mean, how is the photo ID racist for voting, but not for everything else? Hmm. Weird question. No one on the left can answer this. Okay, so get rid of all forms of racism then. No more photo ID for anything.

Get rid of all photo ID for anything. Picking up your kid at school, no photo ID required. I'm sure that's going to go over a while. People don't understand that it's used as a means of protecting what they have instead of, like, discriminated against them. It's the dumbest thing that Democrats have gotten their, like, low IQ base to believe. And there are people out there who wholeheartedly believe this. You can't, you can't even leave the country without an ID and go back in the country. I mean, unless you cross, you know, the border illegally.

So do you think that they'll be on board with that? Just get rid of all IDs. Get rid of all identification getting into the Capitol. No more photo ID required to access the Capitol. I mean, these are the same people that required proof that you were vaccinated. That's what they wanted. I mean, they wanted your papers. Yeah.

You had to literally upload it to an app. But that wasn't racist. It's only racist if it specifically applies to voting. But everything else, it's really weird how that racism switch turns off and on, isn't it? Racist, not racist. Racist, not racist. For voting, racist. For getting into the club, not racist.

Voting, racist. For buying alcohol? Not racist. Voting? Racist. For going and buying cigarettes? Not racist. Hmm.

What about getting into the Capitol? Not racist. What about getting on an airplane? not racist voting racist wait why is it racist just for that it's either racist all the time or it's not racist at all which is it it's either sexist all of the time or it's not sexist at all i find it sexist to think that women are too damn stupid to go and get ideas but this is what the left has been doing the left has consistently my entire life and even before i've been on this earth argue that women are too stupid to do x y and z and if you disagree with that, then it's sexist.

If you disagree that women are stupid, then you're sexist. That's the argument. That sort of boils down to, right? If you disagree, that's what the left is saying about minorities. If you disagree that minorities are stupid, then you're racist. They're too dumb to go get a photo ID. That was the original argument. And then it moved to, oh, it's racist.

R-A-Y-S-I-S-E. Everything's racist. But you have to have a photo ID for everything. I mean, Lerrein made a good point. I love the people that believe all women, also women are too stupid to know how to prove that they change their name after marriage. Believe all women, bish. I, it is, I, I've been married, I got married, I've changed my name, and then I had to get another

ID when I moved to the state of Texas, like 13 years ago. So, which is crazy to think it's been 13 years. So, it wasn't difficult. No one's denying you a vote. No one's denying this. But that's the argument. And the House passed the SAVE Act. It's now they're going to battle it out in the Senate.

And we'll see how good. Because Trump wants to sign it. And we need to sign it. They're so vapid in their opposition to the Save America Act that even in cut nine, this Democrat is claiming that people have to change their birth certificates in order to qualify to vote. Like it's. Play this. The rhetoric is so out of control.

One, this is cut nine. The rhetoric is so out of control, they don't care about being accurate or truthful, just so you know. So let's watch this. Nearly 70 million married women in this country have changed their last name, but their birth certificates don't reflect that. In Michigan's third district alone, 160,000 women could find themselves unable to register simply because when they got married, they didn't change both their ID. and their birth certificate 160,000 women in my district alone. Your birth certificate doesn't get changed after marriage. That's what I'm saying. And so the outrage is so out of

it's so out of control the way they're messaging this. Don't expect the truth from the left on this. Yeah, your birth certificate doesn't change after you get married. That's such a lie. That's the same lie that they've been like pushing for like 30 years now. whenever states began implementing voter ID laws, they pulled out this argument.

You know how many documents you can have to prove citizenship. And there's also a whole, let me pull this up. There's also, this is from the text of the bill from the SAVE Act. There's also a provision in there for the people that are still on the struggle bus. In any instance of discrepancies and documentation, it says, quote, each state shall establish a process under which an applicant can provide such additional documentation to the appropriate election official of the state as may be necessary. to establish that the applicant is the citizen of the United States in the event of a discrepancy with respect to the applicant's documentary proof of United States citizenship.

Everybody has to have a process. And if you have a change, the applicant is the same person. The state has to accept the application. This is so stupid. This is a sexist argument that they're using to try to fearmonger women because that's all Democrats ever do. I mean, that's so stupid. You, you, it is not, it's not preventing married women from voting. That is so dumb.

And everybody, I mean, most people update their documentation for other purposes anyway. And there's like a bunch of different combinations of a ton of different other identification documentation that can be used to demonstrate citizenship. Literally no one is going to be able, is going to be left unable to vote. It is such a lie. It is such a lie. Now, I think you can have absolutely issues with real ID in terms of consolidation of information at the federal level, et cetera. And I get that. I completely get that. But that's separate from this absolute lie that protecting the integrity of the vote by way of photo ID is going to somehow prevent married women from voting.

That is such a patriarchal, low IQ illiberal argument that it is embarrassing that any grown adult with more than one brain cell would make it. It is embarrassing. I'm embarrassed for the people that are trumpeting this. Good grief. That's not at all. Not at all. How that works. Oh, it restricts married women's right to vote.

It literally doesn't. But this is what the left, anything that they can say to fearmonger, anything they can say to fearmonger, that's to try to scare women. that's their that's the voting block that they want to be able to manipulate and we're going to talk to congresswoman or congressman chip roy coming up about this uh here in our third hour but all what they've been saying about it if oh if their name changes and if they didn't change it on their ID then they oh my gosh they can't vote etc etc i mean even if you have a different name your marriage certificate

you didn't change it on your ID and you got your social security card first off it's very easy to change it's a free process and also I mean you have to change it for other things as well for health insurance you have to change it to go renew your driver's license I mean that's and as can notes

I mean if you lost your stuff it's so easy to obtain it from either the hospital or the county courthouse where you were married in yeah I've done it before too it's so easy why and I'm not a rocket scientist so why is it that everybody all these other

leftists are on the struggle bus, they don't know how to do this. I mean, that's not, it's not difficult. And you have to do it for everything else on God's green earth anyway. I mean, good heavens. I feel like these people don't understand how that, have they never been married? I kind of wonder, because they just don't understand how this process works. They know. They're just being disingenuous intentionally. I mean, it's just, it's so stupid. It's just, it's just, really ridiculous. But that's the fear mongering. So we're going to talk about that coming up. You know, in France, oh boy, they were trending yesterday. Why? Because they are urging people to eat less meat in a new health climate plan. It's the strategy national for the alimentation.

It's their nutritional climate. It's the diet canes that promote. the heavy fruits and vegetables and whole grains and poisson and dairy. And it calls for limitations on meat chakuri to cut carbon emissions from the food systems. Food systems carbon, it makes up 24% of France's total. That's so stupid. So they are literally introducing fake meat over there. Do you want to know what their fake meat is made of? Listen how tasty, those sounds.

I'm reading it from my big giant gaming screen right here. Soy pea protein, chickpeas, beetroot, yeast, and coconut fat, and it's formed into steak-like shapes using a 3-D printer. Mmm. Tasty. Mmm. Just eat meat. If you're going to take the time to make it into a steak shape, you know who else makes it

into steak shape the Lord when he gave us the meat. God's up in heaven going, I gave them meat. What are they doing? Like what? It's like Jesus, looking down from heaven. Why are these people trying to like milk, you know, these almonds and oats when you have cows? Like, what are you doing? I gave you cows. Stop it. Good. Mm. Why, if it's bad, why does the fake meat always try to look like the real meat. What kind of steak sauce? That sounds disgusting. You don't see beef trying to look like broccoli.

Yeah, you know, I mean, we can make it happen, but, you know, but France has been, they're pushing this, this idea of, oh, it's so nasty. Oh, my gosh. And when you cut it, like, it's ribbons. I'm watching someone actually, like, cut it and it's like ribbons. It does not, that is not the, oh, that is not the texture of meat. That is disgusting. That is fake meat.

It's fake. I'm going to have to come back to that. That's fake meat. Look at the video, Can. I want you to watch how it just ribbons. It's like a fake meat roll up. And when you cut a roll up after rolling it up. Oh, man.

But they're saying for the sake of the climate, I would rather the planet explode than to stop eating meat. I'm going to own the French and eat all the meat. I'm going to eat all of it. They're saying for the, I mean, look, it's this climate change nonsense. I have, Canel be proud. I can go down a conspiracy theory track with some of this. Yeah.

Like with the ticks that make you allergic to meat. That was intentional. Why do they not want you to eat meat? Because they want your lifespan to be shorter so you can be more controllable. That's why. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. All right.

So first up for Florida Man. Hmm. I mean, I guess you really can get a DUI on every, if you're drunk and you're writing anything. because you can get one on a horse, a lawnmower, a golf cart, and now an e-bike. A Florida man riding an e-bike was arrested for a DUI after refusing sobriety test. So wait a minute, I got a question. What if you're on like a bike bicycle? No, if it's just your feet that power it.

Can you do that? I'm curious. If you're getting one on a horse, it doesn't. Yeah, but that can operate under its own power. Right, which means it's not drunk. You are. Yeah. So a man riding an e-bike, I swear to you. I'm still on Spider-Watch right now. In case you just joined a spider, like in our first hour, descended from the ceiling when I was live on air.

And the fact that I did not burn down the whole studio is proof of God. So if I freak out randomly, it's because of that. I just swear, I'm like, I feel like I see it. My gosh, nothing scares me but that. Anyway, a man riding an e-bike was arrested for DUI. the 34-year-old crashed and fell off backwards in a crosswalk. He declined, how do you do that? He declined multiple sobriety tests and now he's getting an e-bike. Or getting a DUI.

He was on his e-bike. I didn't know you could get that on an e-bike. I mean, probably. And they said he smelled like alcohol before they even got into his person. They could smell it. And he was like, I'm totally toberosfer. He, you know, said he wasn't intoxicated, and he totally was. And when they asked about his crash, the man laughed and said he was trying to show off.

And then he declined breathalizers and all of that. So apparently when they got him to the pokey, he was drunky. So, oh, man. And Florida man, and a woman accused of driving 100 miles per hour while drunk and hopped away from deputies during his stop in Collier County. He was arrested. You're not going to be able to hop away from the police in Collier County? Third hour on the way, Congressman Chip Roy will join us later on as well. stick with us.

Welcome back to the program, Dana Nash, with you. You could find the podcast if you missed anything in our previous two hours. And, of course, Substack Chapter and Verse, Facebook, YouTube, like and subscribe. So, Spider Update, just for those of you just joining in in the first hour, we had, it was like a movie. A spider descend, literally live on air. And I was trying to keep my cool, which did, I mean, the fact that I kept my cool is proof that God exists. And I didn't knock everything down. it all up. And we don't know where it is now. I tried getting it. I tried hitting it with my

glasses case. And it was like, yeah. And it grabbed on to my glasses case in sheer defiance. And I'm like, you know, because you're trying to hit it. And then it's like, I was born in the darkness. And it just. So, and I shook it. I don't know where it is. And I'm just trying not to have it eat my modula oblongata. That's it. I don't, I am not scared or irrational about anything except that because they're weird and their various sizes and they have lots of attitude just think about when spider man was bitten he got a superpower out of it like you might get a superpower out of it like what oh you don't have to worry so much i don't want a superpower that way i don't want to be bitten by a uh a smear unless it maybe gave me like i don't know like if i

could fly it might be kind of cool um if i could you know have see you know have see you through walls. That might be neat. Fold a fitted sheet. That might be helpful. Anyway, welcome back. So if I freak out and just like in the middle of everything, run away and knock everything over and scream, that's what happened. And I just, I'm barely holding it together right now because I just. And I'll do play by play. It is a serious fear.

I keep looking at my desk like, where is it? It's probably hiding somewhere. It was a little tiny. But still, you know, tiny things can be dangerous too. I'm just saying. It has a lot of attitude, man. That thing like chose violence already. It defied me. It was like, no, what? I'm going to get on your tool of destruction. All right, rotissory chickens. I got a few things. Wall Street Journal has this piece where this is the headline. Gen Ziers and millennials are swimming in student debt and they never own homes, but they're splurging on gut healthy juices and rotissory chickens.

I liked what the comment that someone said where they made fun of the headline by altering it. Quote, Gen Zeros and millennials are swimming in student debt and they never own homes, but they're still eating food. What else do they? Do they also purchase toilet paper? So I feel like the person who wrote that headline

has never procured a rotisserie chicken. Sometimes they're actually, actually, not sometimes, they are cheaper than like a whole uncooked chicken at the store. The last rotissory chicken I got was $5.98 on special. And it was at the Tom Thumb. And I bought two of them. And I made an enormous amount of chicken soup.

This was during the ice storm, homemade creamy chicken noodle soup. And I made, I had pulled chicken burritos. It was very good. And it's very easy. That's not expensive. I don't know what they're talking about, unless there's like some bougie rotissory chicken.

that one can get, which I am unaware of. I just, I don't, I don't know where they're getting them. I mean, they're cheap. Rerticeroa chickens are cheap, and they're delicious. So what is this? You know, the problem is, I feel like this, this is a two for here. So they're blaming what the politicians are doing on the people that the politicians are doing it to.

But however, the people that are having this done to them by the, the politicians voted for the politicians, by and large, to do this to them. Now, the millennials, they're voting more. Gen Ziers do not vote. Nobody under the age of 25 votes regularly and with any kind of consistency. That's just been fact since it's ever been measured. It is the way of things. I'm not saying that it's, is always going to be the standard going forward, but it has been for forever. So, and, and millennials have tend, they've tended to vote Democrat by and large. You voted for the people that solidified student debt, by solidified student loans at the federal level

to control everything. So colleges are always, colleges which are an absolute racket, are always getting money regardless. Doesn't matter. They don't have to give a rat's backside about you. They're going to get paid no matter what. So that's kind of the problem with that.

But I also think, like, has this person ever purchased a rotissory chicken? I don't really do juices. You're a juice person. I don't do juices because it's gross. I'm like, water and soda and coffee is all I need. Kind of a juice person. But, yeah, look, rotisserie chickens are great.

They're delicious. So I can see why the kids are doing the juice and the chicken. Yeah, a little rotisserie chicken at a supermarket for like five. That's easy. They do it. It's going to be cheaper than a whole chicken. Yeah. And it's way better than any fast food you're going to get.

Oh, yeah, way healthier. So I feel like they're making fun of them for making a smart choice. It just seemed kind of goofy. Okay. Another thing I got to touch on. Um, hmm. Where's this? Oh, the gay days.

Not the B. Orlando's gay days event is being put on a one-year pause after sponsors dropped out. Okay. How many of you knew that there was a gay days at all? I didn't. I didn't either. They usually do it during the pride stuff. Oh, wait, that's coming up, right?

When all the companies decide to slap rainbows all over everything and then convenient. And then like right after that's, no, we're doing this now. They switch it up. They had a lot of major corporate sponsors that have stopped sponsoring pride events in Florida. And so gay days, apparently they would go to Disney World and it began in 1991 as a single gay day gathering. I think if you're an adult and you go to Disney World without kids, it's weird. I'm sorry, but I'm not actually sorry. I just don't know why I said that.

I'm not at all even remotely. Sorry. I think it's weird. It's weird. I don't like going to theme parks or amusement parks with kids because I just germaphobe, although COVID made me real against it, my germophobia in spite out of spite. You know, when the moment the government started telling you you shouldn't go out or touch things, I was like, I'm going to go and get all the germs just to spite you, you know, two fingers in the air, what? And ran out the door. But like theme parks are amusement parks are gross and they have everything I don't like.

you know, it's loud, it's sticky, you're waiting a lot, and there's lots of people, and I just and all the people are touching the same things that you're touching, and it's just, just hell on earth. So, I don't know, it's just weird that anybody would be like, you know, the adults that go and they buy the ears and they go, like, what are you doing? Anyway, so that's why this is even, without even the gay days being part of it, it was already weird, right? A bunch of adults going to Disney World for the day, and now it's gay days, a day where it's like, This is the day where we tell everyone how we have the sex. And they go and it's a, it is a day at the theme part for people who like to have sex a certain way.

That's really it. And I just like, why are you siloing yourself off, number one? I thought it was all about like inclusion and everything. Why are you setting yourself apart, number one? And number two, why does everything have to revolve about how you get it out? It's just so damn tiring and weird. You know, I don't like onions. in my tomato sauce.

I like, I prefer garlic. I don't think they can both coexist. So do I get a special flag for that? Do I have the no onions in my sauce day at Disney? I mean, where is my recognition? I'm feeling excluded. I also want to be apart. Like, where, when does it stop?

You know, Kane likes bacteria water. The tea. He literally grows a little disc of it. The way you describe it just doesn't. Is it wrong? Is it wrong? Sir? Don't pan bonding me.

Is it wrong? According to the law, you're not wrong. Okay, there we go. Cain likes bacteria water. I'm not passing judgment. I'm just very telling you what it is. All right. What is it?

The scabies in the water or something? Oh my God. No, it's called a scobie. Scabies is something completely different that you don't get from drinking kombut. Sorry, I didn't mean to identify the wrong name of the bacteria in your backwater. It's okay. But still, water Kiefer is better if you want to try that.

Like Kiefer Sutherland? Yes, exactly. Was he named after that? I think so. What a weird. Anyway, my point is that Kaine doesn't get a flag. Where's your flag at, dude? Don't get it.

We're going to have so many different flags that we're not even going to be able to walk through life without going, what does that mean? What does that mean? What does that? Well, I'm a fourth spirit by trends. person thing. I mean, when does it end? So people are kind of, I think companies are kind of tired of sponsoring it.

I really, I mean, when you get a day at Disney, are you really oppressed? You know, you get a whole day at Disney. Now, if you were in Iran and you were launched off the rooftop like Marty Gras beads, then yeah, I mean, I'd be like, that's probably some oppression happening there. But you have a whole day at Disney. You get gay day discounts.

There's gay day. You get a whole gay month, a whole month about how you have sex. That's it. And there are gay people that are tired of the gay days. They're like, can we stop this? This is so stupid. I actually don't know anybody who is gay that does this stuff, that does the pride stuff or the gay day stuff. Who does it?

Where are these people come? Are they all just leftists? Where are they coming from? But anyway, so they paused it for a year because nobody's, going to sponsor it. They apparently can't get sponsors. That's the problem. They said, after careful consideration, we've made the difficult decision to pause the gay days event. Changes to our host hotel agreement, the loss of key sponsorship support. I thought I saw a spider. I didn't. Okay. Broader challenges currently impacting

LLLBGBKKBL events nationwide, made it impossible to deliver the experience. Our community deserves. This is a pause, not an ending, blah, blah, blah. What experience are you, like, promising to deliver on here? I got questions. So what do they mean broader challenges? Are they mad at because Trump? I mean, the secretary of the treasury is gay. Do you think Scott Bessent would ever go to a gay days? No, you know why? Because that's cringe. It's cringe. It's like tight rolling your pants in 2026. Stop it. It's just, I don't know. Okay, speaking of the gay days. Really quickly. Oh, where's this at? Where's this at? Where's this at? Oh, oh, there's this apparently, oh my gosh, I got to find this. I think I may have lost it. It's like a new monkey pox

that's out there. Okay, yeah, based on health reports in the CDC, there is a triophytimenta fights geno whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So apparently Minnesota's in the midst of what state health officials are saying is their largest known outbreak of this sexually transmitted fungal skin infection that can cause severe ringworm. And apparently, this is what it is defined as is more commonly reported in men who are intimate with other men due to skin to skin transmission during intimate contact.

Oh. So stop being horrors. Really simple. I mean, that's like pretty. easy to solve, you know? I mean, I'm curious if it's, hmm, it's associated with dudes. I didn't realize Minnesota was like a haven for, you know, I'm kind of surprised to see it there. I wonder what the overlay with the Somali diaspora that's been defrauding everybody is. I'm just saying, I'm just asking a question, you know, I'm just exploring some options. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's

time for Dana's Quick Five. So Heineken, the fart beer, because that's what it smells like, is slashing up to 6,000 jobs and AI productivity savings amid a slump in beer sales. Because no one wants to drink that stanky beer. Ah, yes, my evil plan is coming to fruition. The end of Heine Heineken. I hate, it's banned from my home. I won't even sit at a table where it is served because it smells like a bathroom. It's so disgusting. So maybe they can all go somewhere else and work for a different brewer that doesn't make nasty, stanky beer. American girl doll fans are horrified because apparently they made the doll skinnier now. And modern.

And apparently, I don't have daughters and I didn't grow up with us. So I guess it's like they're supposed to be historically themed. And now they're in mini skirts and stuff. And the moms are losing it. They're like, wait a minute. Why are they all on Ozzympic? And also, because their heads are enormous. and they look like a sucker.

The heads are enormous and the bodies are real thin and they're all dressed like modern and it's like not even right. They have lollipop heads. It's not even right. So people are up in arms. I get it.

I mean, it's like if you made a cabbage patch kid like really thin, you know? I don't know. It's weird. Millions of student loan borrowers aren't repaying their loans. Surprise! Surprise!

Said no one ever. And defaults are up. IRS warns the unconstitutional government theft agency warns that these two tax credits are going to delay the refund of the money that they stole from you. The earned income tax credit and the additional child tax credit, they are not going to be able to receive their refunds until after mid-February. Doesn't matter when you file. It is irrelevant

when you file. They're not going to issue any refund before then. Isn't that interesting? A kid changes the Wi-Fi name to terrorist on a flight, and the military was alerted. Whiz Air Flight intercepted by fighter jets because the kid renamed the Wi-Fi terrorist. It's actually really hysterical. And it was in Britain, of course, where you can't even bat your eye properly or you're going to be arrested. So the kid was questioned. Everything's okay. But still, the fact that they freaked out like that, eye roll.

We got Congressman Chip Roy coming up next. The Dana Show podcast. You're fast, funny, and informative news companion for those always on the move. Subscribe on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts. Nearly 70 million married women in this country have changed their last name, but their birth certificates don't reflect that. In Michigan's third district alone, 160,000 women could find themselves unable to register simply because when they got married, they didn't change both their ID and their birth certificate. 160,000 women in my district alone. Oh, my goodness.

So we are told that the SAVE Act, we could not pass the SAVE Act because us women were just too stupid to figure out how to get the necessary documents in hand so that we could go and cast our vote for an elected official. We women are just so dumb. I mean, believe all women, but we are too dumb to figure any of this stuff out. I'm trying to understand at what point is it acceptable to have photo ID because if they think photo ID is misogynistic or racist for use of protecting the integrity of the vote, vote, then just to spend it for everything. Let's all get on planes and access everybody's bank accounts with no ID. That'll be fun, won't it? I mean, at what point does it stop being racist and misogynistic? So we thought we would ask the lead sponsor of this bill, which passed, by the way, and I just read about how Henry Quayar was the only Democrat that voted for it, shockingly.

Congressman Chip Roy from the Great Republic of Texas joins us. He was speaking about his Save Act, and congrats on getting it through the House. We'll see what happens in the Senate. but what do you make of these talking points? Because, you know, I got married. I had to change my stuff and then I moved to Texas, had to get a new driver's license. It isn't difficult.

It's not rocket science. And there's a lot of different combinations of documents from my understanding that can be used for this. Well, Dana, great to be on. And look, first, very proud that we were able to move this legislation to Save America Act, which of course is saved the citizenship portion plus voter identification.

Got that through. did have a bipartisan support with Henry Quayar. Now it's over the Senate. We can talk more about that in a minute if you want. But to the core of your question, I think it's a dead giveaway that they don't actually care about the substance, that they weren't offering a substantive amendment

to say, hey, we agree that you should try to achieve the objective. We are afraid of this problem that they're alleging, which I think is bogus. So our solution is this. They're not offering that because it's not real. The fact is, in our original version of SAVE, we had very significant flexibility for states to accommodate whatever issue they run into with respect to a voter who wants to come in and register, and they have an issue with their documentation, not matching or whatever. But then what we did, just because there was so much question being raised, we put new language in this version that we passed that has a specific clause allowing an individual. it's not necessarily a woman, but it would often be a woman in the marriage case,

who can sign an affidavit and say, my name, Sarah Jones, when I was on my birth certificate, I'm now Sarah Smith, I sign an affidavit under penalty of perjury, that's me. But you're presenting the information. This is my birth certificate. This is me. This is my driver's license from the state. I'm registering to vote as now Sarah Smith. So this is all nonsense.

It's not a real issue. And so we've created every possible path to make sure no one's going to be left behind. And they're doing this on purpose to try to scare people because it's an 85% issue. And what they're scared about is that it might actually pass. Yeah, which, yeah, which it looks like it will. We're talking with Congressman Chip Roy about the SAVE Act, which passed the House and now it heads to the Senate. You know, on that one last thing on that point, I mean, it's a free, it's a free thing to do. You can call a hospital if you need documentation, the courthouse in the county in which you married.

I mean, I've done this. I had to do this and to get it changed in my social security card. It is not difficult. It takes like a second to do. And you have to do it for other processes anyway. You know, your social security, you have to do it for bank. I mean, there's a number of things that require it. So why are they only objecting now?

I mean, just to prevent this from being passed. Yeah, that's what. And they're using that as cover. They tried to make an issue, for example, out of men and women in uniform. Well, we made a very specific exclusion in the bill to say current law applies for our men and women in uniform. They're covered, military ID. They can register. They're fine.

And so we've been, frankly, bending over backwards to make sure that, you know, we're not leaving anybody behind. But look, there's one other thing nobody really knows. We have an overall catch-all protection, maybe to a fault, Dana. I'm just going to acknowledge that maybe we're even too, you know, forgiving and trying to make this all work, where if you go to vote and if you don't have whatever you need, or if you go to register in this case, and you don't have all the stuff, we allow for the people in the state to say,

look, if you'll sign the affidavit as the county registrar or county clerk or whoever's in charge of that, depending on what state you're in, and you go, you know, Bob Smith showed up and Bob had this ID but didn't have this or didn't have photo ID, you know, whatever, some religious deal. We also have religious exceptions, you know, where you can sign an affidavit,

I'm Amish, I don't do pictures, pictures. But you allow the state person to say under penalty of perjury, I believe Bob Smith is a citizen. Bob Smith presented this, presented this, but didn't have this other thing, and we'll let it vote. So we've created paths, but we wanted the key here is we wanted everybody to have to sign and say, I'm saying this person is a citizen based on one, two, three. So I think we've got to cover. Well, and, you know, to that point, one of the arguments was that, well, this is going to be, because because the states are required to have a process in place to make sure that this is easy to facilitate it, et cetera. And that's one of the things that this act does that I don't think it's enough credit that you were touching on.

But one of the arguments was that it's going to be just too expensive. It's just going to be a big administrative. But again, it's already there. You can already do it. So it's not adding anything else to it. You're just taking advantage. I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but it's an existing process that's there. Well, and since when do any of these clowns care about how?

much they're putting on us on expense. Like I can't go buy a car without buying like a $2,000 windshield because they've got all this garbage in there or now a kill switch in the car or E15 and ethanol and all the crap in your cars. You can't afford to do anything. And now they care about the cost that we want to make sure only American citizens are voting. You know they don't care about the cost. Yes, that is a great point. Now you, it's going to the Senate. And let's talk about the Senate real quick. I know that I have from what I understand Senator Mike Lee is the sponsor in the Senate. And I know that they're adding. some co-sponsors to this.

People are already anticipating that it's going to have a little bit of a tough time in the Senate. I mean, you had one Democrat in the House at all those Democrats that crossed the party line. And, you know, kudos to him for doing so on this issue. What are you expecting in the Senate? Well, right now, Senator Mike Lee has been reporting out in social media. He has 48 Republicans that are now signed on to the Save America Act, that is saved plus voter ID that we just passed. That means there are five Republicans who are not on it yet. Only two of whom have publicly come out against Murkowski and McConnell.

So we're keeping up the pressure. We're hoping to get... McConnell's against it probably for a combination of Trump derangement syndrome plus a, I think, hiding behind federalism. So by the way, this is actually important to address. Let me just go ahead and hit this. Yeah, hit the federalism. Because you're a federalist.

I'm a federalist. We don't like big federal government power. I was in the 10th Amendment Center, Texas Public Policy Foundation. I work for Rick Perry. Take on. But here's the deal. The Constitution is very clear that, yes, states have this power. You set time, place, a manner of elections. We don't want to interfere with any of that. By the way, we currently have federal elections in early November. States aren't required to have their governor, you know, their gubernatorial election in early November, but they do. It's just we set the parameters. And the Constitution says we can also speak to the elections of Congress and the president. So that's what we do.

Here, we're just saying voter ID, citizenship. You guys can still have your elections, how you want to do them, how you want to carry them out, and community centers, schools, whatever. But we're just given parameters. And you can set up your processes for determining all these things, however you want.

So this is not federal. By the way, states under current law are prohibited from checking their voter rolls against the citizen database. Under federal law, they're prohibited. So our bill will free up, for example, Arizona, which currently checks citizenship for their state and local elections, but is not allowed to check it for federal elections. So that is also very pro-state's rights. So I think McConnell and

Murkowski are hiding behind that. Murkowski, by the way, tweeted out yesterday, oh, you know, they had their John Lewis Act that was a big federal bill, and we all opposed it unanimously because it was interfering with states' rights and federalism. Lisa Murkowski voted for it. She voted for that big government bad bill that was anti-federalism, but now she wants to hide behind federalism. You go sell that to the people of Alaska, Senator Mikowski. I don't think they're going to be buying. I think they're going to actually want to ensure that only citizens vote. You know what? In Alaska, with a big state, you need to set up parameters to get them and figure out your ability to get people registered. Good on you. But do it. That's all we're saying.

And look, we think we can do this. The last point on the Senate, we have 48. We need 51 to be able to go to the Senate floor and say, we want to debate and we want to vote. Right. We don't have to hide behind 60 votes, the fake, you know, what we call the fake, I call it the fake filibuster. It's the cloture vote, which means you shut off debate if you have 60. But current Senate rules allow for you to go to the Senate floor and say, look, we want to debate this issue.

We want to vote on it. We have 51 senators here ready to go. Then if the Democrats want to say, we're not ready, we want to talk, they have the right to do that. Make them do it. make them stand on the floor of the Senate and tell 85% of Americans that they're crazy for wanting voter ID or for only citizens to vote. I think we win that. And you know what?

If Democrats jam it up, let the voters decide in this fall. But I'd be proud to go take that to the American people in the fall. Yeah. And I think that's a great idea. And your point on McConnell, that really shocks me because I always thought he was a big, you know, he's a big protecting the integrity of the vote guy. I mean, we have the De-Naturalization Act. I mean, from what I understand, from what I've read, this thing is so, it's so narrow in scope. that it only strengthens my read, and I'm sure that people would object, but it only strengthens

states' rights. I mean, you're not impeding an election. You're not telling states how to do the election. This is about upholding the integrity of the vote that every state is supposed to accept because we have this like agreement. We let everybody handle their elections, but we all agree to accept the results if there's certain safeguards in place. Well, this underscores that. I mean, this is already, I mean, what is it? The 15th, the 24th, the elections clause. I mean, for crying out loud. I don't even know how that's an objection. So I agree. And in fact, there's a great video going around X today of Senator McConnell on the floor of the Senate talking about the importance of voter ID years ago.

I think this is an excuse. It's cover to want to try to oppose something that I don't think we really should oppose. And your point about narrowly tailored is really important. You know, the president wanted us and I wanted, all of us would like to have included mail and ballot reform. Right. I would have to have included four or five. other reforms, paper ballots, same day voting or narrowed early voting or whatever. There's a lot of things we could do to tighten election fraud down. But your point about narrowly focused to force the Senate, look, we kept it really simple. Citizens, voter ID. If you can't win an 85% issue and get the Senate to finally do its job, make the greatest deliberative body, the Senate, make them

actually deliberate again. Make them go work. Make them go down and vote. I think they need to make Mr. Smith go to Washington again. Like, do your job. And so that, I think, is a critical component. And you said it great when you said narrowly tailored and focused because that's, I think, the key to breaking the back of the Senate and their fake filibuster. Yeah. And it's narrowly focused.

And it's supported by the majority of Americans. Independence and many Democrats support this as well. So, I mean, what are they doing? I so appreciate you leading the fight on this route of time right now. But we're going to watch and see how this goes. and we'd love to have you back. Congressman Chip Roy out of the Great Republic of Texas. So good to see you. God bless you, my friend. Thanks, Dana. I appreciate it.

Everybody go out and vote during primaries. Yes, sir. There you go right there. Thank you, sir. We'll talk again soon.

So one of the American figure skaters, Amber Glenn, she got mad. because she and apparently like she was like going out being woke and doing all this other stuff, I don't know. It's so ridiculous.

She was talking about fighting for human rights and the queer community and coming out with a rainbow flag because nothing so suppressed like being paid to go and represent your country at the Olympics, you know, and all that. And apparently she decided to hit back and keep the controversy going. And she said they hate to see woke bees winning. or it's not that. Maybe people are just tired of everyone thinking that their platform means that you can shove your opinions down someone else's throat. You're a figure skater for crying out loud, right? I mean, that doesn't mean that you're a brilliant policy analyst.

It means you're a good figure skater if you're on the Olympics team, but people get tired of it. And you're there to represent the country. and that doesn't include trying to alienate people over your completely debunked, yet self, you know, your perceived societal slights. I just get so tired of it. I'm so tired of these people prioritizing themselves over the, you know, the team America that they're there to represent. It gets just so tiring.

Everyone's like, this is my platform to, blah, but no, it's not. Can you, I mean, it isn't. That's like me, it would like be me, you know, judging figure skating. I don't like that triple sow cow that that person just did. I didn't think that their ankle came in appropriately enough. So I'm going to, that should have been a point deduction. By the way, for everybody asking about the spider, it has not returned yet. Although I did think that I saw it like about a half hour ago.

So we're on the lookout. And if any point you tune in and the desk is on fire, you will know why. So there we are. All right, today in stupidity came. All right, Juan, this is cut 10. Senator Cory Booker. By the way, all Democrats are on this same page where they're hoping for another shutdown.

Democrats don't care about productivity. They care about shutting things down. Listen to this, cut 10. And to me, this agency cannot, we cannot give another dollar to an out-of-control reckless agency. So I have no confidence that this negotiation is going to end well tomorrow.

And I think it's going to result. I hope it's going to result in Democrats staying strong and not giving another continuing resolution, not moving forward. He's pro shutdown. It's what the Dems are. It is. Make sure you call your senators folks and have them pass the Save Act. We're going to need voter ID, especially coming up into midterms. It has to happen.

It's very narrow in scope. And it does not abridge any kind of federalist protections for states running elections. substack chapter and verse also the podcast youtube facebook like and subscribe i'll be back with you tomorrow
