Well, welcome to the White House. I didn't know any of these guys behind me, but they just showed up. I don't know where the hell they came from. 2024 NBA champions, the Bulls. You're Seligieg, right? A Boston Celtics. He was on the struggle bus with that one. He gave his code name, too.

Is he supposed to do that? Oh. Yeah. He gave his Secret Service codename also. he was like yeah they call me they call me they call me celtic because i'm irish it's what he said i was like what what he said that that was what he said so it it is yeah it's just the biden it's the we don't have much more of this guys so just you know drink it up now you know if this is i don't know what we're going to do without without absence of all of these sound bites cane i'm like

really i'm a little concerned about what that means for our program because we don't have you know after come January we're not going to have all this good stuff you know we're not going to have all the Biden all the crazy Biden audio what are we to do I don't know so drink it up right now guys drink it up we'll still have Democrats giving us horrible yeah but it's not going to be like you know how many of them get lost in the woods you know like during a press avail you know you just don't get gems like that every day I'm telling you so welcome to the program it is a Friday It's Friday before, well, it's like Turkey Eve. It's like Friday before Thanksgiving.

And we've got a number of things to jump into. We got the latest with the, we got media meltdown. The media is having a time right now. MSNBC is having a time right now. So we've got all of that for you. We're also going to get into a bunch of these other because we've got some more cabinet stuff. Some of it I'm not too stoked about.

And some of it you're not going to be too stoked about either. But, you know, it is the way of things. It's also cold as all get out in Texas today. I'm like, I could not find enough layers to wear. I might throw another one on during commercial break. I'm going to turn into Glenn back and just come in with scarf after scarf and sweater after sweater. And then eventually I'm wearing everything in my wardrobe.

That's what's happening. So welcome to the show. Good to be with you. Dana Lash here. We're at the top of this very first hour here. And on Friday. So, all right. One of the picks, and I said, I actually, I should probably,

Like, remind everybody on X, because we're on X as well as Channel 347 Direc TV. One of the things that I did last night and I was doing this morning is I was reading about the latest pick that came in for AG. Because yesterday, actually the day before, it was like, what, 12 hours from Matt Gates saying that he was no longer going to pursue the nomination for Attorney General than you had Trump go around. and then he nominated Pam Bondi. And I, looking at it, you know, from just the top rope, first you might think, well, okay, because I know some Republicans were just very excited that it wasn't Gates, because they view Gates as, you know, an unknown entity loose cannon.

And we'll talk about, you know, some of that report and all of that coming up. But he, and I had a, I have a piece. it's coming out about that too, just in a little bit. But this idea of Pambondi as AG, I think, has, I got some concerns. I have some concerns, and we're going to talk about that throughout the program. And one of the things I tell you, don't get super excited about, I mean, we always complain about bureaucrats. So I don't get excited about bureaucratic appointments, right?

Even if it's something to, like, the president's cabinet, these people are still heading up these bureaucracies, these agencies. So I just don't get super stoked about it. But this, I feel like everybody's been paying more attention to it than not. And I think that's just because everything, every department has been so radicalized under the left that now we're placing all of these people is of great interest. And I get it. It is of great interest to us on, you know, on the side of the Constitution. I completely understand that. The issue with Pam Bondi, and as you know, she was AG of Florida. And she was under Governor Rick Scott when she was AG. So she was there with Parkland and all of that stuff. And she's very much, I mean, she seems like she's the candidate,

like, okay, this is a good AG pick, except for some very unfortunate things that she has said before. she is not what I would say someone who is a strong second amendment politician and that is because when she is actively promoted age limitations in Florida she actively promoted the waiting day the purchase of firearms you're subject to a

waiting period rather she promoted a waiting period in Florida so when you purchase a gun in Florida I was shocked by this you actually have to wait for it that's crazy and I know they've been wanting to compete. Texas is, Florida's been wanting to compete with Texas on everything from, like a friendly competition,

you know, like who has the best, you know, tax environment, who has this, who has that. But on this, Texas actually has Florida beaten. And we know that they have a lot of,

you know, rhinos in their legislature that won't consider, uh, some of these other least, rollbacks of, uh, gun rights that they've had, they'll have a lot of gun control. So I'm looking,

I've just, there's a lot here. I saw this originally. I'm like, eh, it seems like, I mean, it seems like a not

a totally controversial pick, but I amend my position. It is, I think. I can't maintain that this is a decent pick at all after seeing some of this stuff.

In fact, we have this audio. This is audio soundbite. I don't even remember. 11,000, 50 million. We got a lot. 21 million?

Yes. 21, 111 million. Because they always give us a lot of sound bites. So, you know, we got to pick through the millions. please. This is a flashback from 2018.

Florida, it's called the Baker Act, but it's our Civil Commitment Act, and it's weak, and it's about 1,000 pages long, and I've had my Solicitor general on it for four days, three days now working on it. We're rewriting it, along with Governor Scott, who's, you're going to meet with him,

he's going to give you a ton of good information. We've been rewriting it, and we are going to bring in something called the gun violence restraining order. So if someone is civilly committed, and typically you can hold them for up to 72 hours, but people are getting out within 24 hours, the majority of them. So what we want to do is let law enforcement come in and take the guns.

They are a danger to themselves or others. Well, because without being adjudicated, so because they're a danger to themselves. You want them to take the guns and not go through six months of legal trials and everything. Exactly. But we also have to give the mentally ill, the due process in which they deserve. president. So what we're doing is they're going to be able to take the guns when they're taken into custody or into the hospital. And then when they're released, within 24 hours or 72 hours later, typically it's 24 hours. But law enforcement will have 72 hours to determine whether they should give those guns back or they can go to a judge and say, your honor, please keep these guns.

We feel this person is still a danger to himself or others. So what they're talking about, a red flag, laws. And you have to realize that a lot of times these have been erroneously applied and so many of them are actually overturned when they're fought. And I've written about this so many times before I feel like I'm boring you by repeating it because I have literally written thousands of words on this. I've written two books that cover it. I've talked about it. I've given speeches. I've been on radio. I've been in, you know, grassroots talking about all of this. So it's, it is a complete obliteration of due process when you are assumed guilty until you prove your innocence. If something is serious, it's serious enough to abridge or remove someone's natural rights. It is serious enough for them

to go through the proper protocol that is provided by our Constitution, our Second Amendment, our Fourth Amendment, our Fifth Amendment, and be given that because it's a serious thing to take away someone's natural rights. It's a very serious thing. So there's a very serious thing. So there's a process in place for it. And what's more, I mean, when she's talking about red flag law and for the people who think that red flag laws aren't important, and again, I've talked about this before, ad nauseum, because it's, it is, it should be a disqualifying position. Because this isn't about firearms. This is about the cornerstone of the republic due process. Just look at it like it's in a math equation. Firearms are one of the variables in this equation. So this is the protection. So this is the

protection of the presumption of innocence until you are proven guilty. And when you try to justify abridging this by echoing gun control, gun grabber language and freaking people out over stuff, I mean, that's, that is an abridgment of your constitutional rights. It's destroying due process and it's using gun control. Again, one variable to do it. Anything can be used. Once this is done, by the way, once you pick apart due process, there's no putting it back together. I mean, if you like the thought of, if you're wrongly accused, do you want to be punished before you go to court? I mean, if someone accuses you of a crime, do you want law enforcement to, without any knowledge of you showing up at your house, maybe performing a no-knock raid and going in, seizing your property, everyone knows something's up? Do you like the idea of not being able to enjoy the presumption of innocence until guilt is proven by the state?

or do you like the system in place now, which protects that? And the state has to prove their case against you. Do you want to wait anywhere from 14 days to a month to get your day in court in front of a judge in order to plead your case and prove yourself innocent and get your property back? I mean, if you want to do that, then you're going to love red flag law. If you've got money to burn and you can hire an attorney to cover all of that for you, you're going to love red flag law. But if you're broke as hell and you're tired of a government that has already been weaponized against you, being further weaponized against you by having someone in the damn DOJ that is celebrating a removal of due process right after we've had Merrick Garland, then you're going to hate Red Flag Law.

Why in the hell are we even entertaining anybody that has zero respect for due process for Attorney General? Were people not bent over a barrel and told to grab their angles for Merrick Gardland enough? Were we all not abused enough by the DOJ? Parents who spoke up at town halls. Did you like the fact that you were labeled a domestic terrorist because you showed interest in protecting your sons and daughters in front of the school board? Did you like the fact that you were presumed to be a threat or to be guilty of something before being able to plead your case

and have the FBI clear you of that tag? because that's red flag law in practice. If you hated that, you're going to hate what she promoted. I don't get this. I don't get people who are like, oh my gosh, we have deep state, deep state. And then they're like, gosh, can we fluff a member of deep state? Who can we go after and slob all over next? I don't get it.

It boggles them mind. That's exactly what this is, though. There's no excuse to it. But what's more, it gets worse. In some of these states, you have, these cases where they come and confiscate it, it's not a criminal issue. It is a civil matter, meaning that you're someone in a civil case and you are facing the prospect of having your constitutional, your natural rights removed from you, and you have to go up, you have to stand

toe to toe with the district attorney yourself. If you cannot afford to hire someone with as much pizzazz as the DA that's out to get you, you're screwed. And in a lot of these states, that's how these cases are treated. Why are we entertaining any kind of disqualifying position for this? And then pretending that we're celebrating the upholding of the rule of law. I'm not going to get into that Alice in Wonderland, you know, Lewis Carroll type BS. Not doing it. Either you hate deep state and you felt as though you, you,

and the former president and everybody else were treated unfairly, or you like it, and you're willing to tolerate it for a little bit, for the appearance of a win. But it's going to come back to screw you. I guarantee you. We got a lot more on the way as we go into headlines. We're not even done with this issue.

We've got other cabinet picks that we've got to get into, and we got more on this, our partners, as we go into headlines, it's our friends at pre-born. It's a great organization that helps meet women where they are, and they help save lives. They save the lives of babies, day and they go into areas that have high abortion rates and they meet and talk with these women. They offer them the opportunity to hear their baby's heartbeat via an ultrasound. And when a woman

hears her baby's heartbeat, the chance for that baby surviving and not getting aborted that day doubles, in fact. And they've done a lot of studies on this. And it's a pretty remarkable thing. Preborn is direct competition to the abortion industry. And they've been expanding their life-affirming care and you can help giving Tuesday is the 26 it's coming up and this is a gift that reaches eternally you can sponsor ultrasounds $28 sponsors one 140 sponsors five 15,000 places an ultrasound machine in a needy women center saving countless babies for years to come these are tax deductible preborn has a four star a four star charity rating so you can give with confidence and they don't just stop there they also help all the way up into the toddler years with these women with maternity car seats diapers you

Trump and Bernie want to collaborate on capping credit card interest rates. But credit card debt is a non-recourse loan. They can't repossess your dinner or your vacation.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Tell me that you have never ever, like, shop for Thanksgiving food or prepare to Thanksgiving meal or did any of that. Without telling me that you've never done any of that. Correjean-Pierre saying, oh, no, your Thanksgiving, Malthousa is going to be so much, Terpar. Thanks to Biden. No one believes this. But that's what she says. She went out and said, yes, she's bragging about lower prices.

Grocery prices are still up almost 25%. Gas prices are still up, like 30% under Biden and Harris. Don't be sitting here and selling us this pig feces because we ain't buying, lady. It's turkey season. We ain't buying this. This is so stupid. We know how much stuff is. This gun ownership rates have spiked amongst Republican women.

Today and duh, I've been telling people this for the better part of two years. So I'm glad that Gallup finally caught along. and even though it's a little too little too late, but this has been increasing for quite some time. The rates fallen amongst Democrat men. It's down five points amongst independent. Republican men are still most likely, and now women are seeing a spike as well.

Well, yeah, that makes anybody who wants to keep themselves safe, wants to go out and own a firearm. But, man, you're going to have a tougher time, I think, under some of Lake Pambonte. Also, let's see here. Andrew Bailey announced a lawsuit against Jackson County, Missouri. This is crazy.

Jackson County, Missouri. It's down there by Table Rock. Well, not totally by Table Rock Lake, but, you know, it's between Table Rock Lake and Mississippi. Apparently, he notified Jackson County of anticipated litigation. They passed an ordinance that prohibits anyone under the age of 21 from possessing firearms or ammunition. And this is also applicable to you if you're in the military, even though, you know, under 21 can still have rifles and shotguns and all of that. And they're trying to criminalize all of it. So he's fighting them and he's announcing a lawsuit against them because they've absolutely violated Jackson County residents' Second Amendment rights.

Giraffes are about to enjoin the endangered species list, too. I'll tell you that next headline segment. We got a lot more on the way. Stick with us. I'm always going to tell people to carry and I'm always going to tell you that it's good to train. And I have zero hesitancy at all whatsoever to use lethal force on anyone who's posing a threat to me or my family. There are also instances where I can't carry because I'm barred, whether it's a gun, free zone sign or a gun free zone area and I always because of the nature of my work don't have the

luxury of just saying I'm not going to go here I'm just going to skip out on this for today because I would actually get in trouble with my job if I did that on a regular basis so there are options and I took inspiration from some of my friends who've done it they've gotten the burn a SD so that's the most popular selling model of the burn a gun it's a non-firearm firearm and it can it you basically can take it I mean you can take it anywhere anywhere it doesn't care about gun free zone signs But what it does is that you can fire off chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. And when you compare it to like an ordinary stun gun, you got like maybe one to two rounds with that. You have five rounds with the Berna SD.

And there's no waiting period. There's no background checks. Like I said, it's legal in all 50 states, doesn't care about the gun-free zone signs. And it allows for you to diversify your defensive options without just going without defense. entirely. And I think that's incredibly important. I mean, there's you know, if you're, there's not really a recoil situation with us.

But it's a good option for people who are barred from actually carrying anywhere else. I've got friends who use this in New York and D.C. So to learn more about it, and I highly suggest that you do, you can go and see everything that they offer. They have different models. Like I said, the SD is the most popular.

Whenever you want, straight to you on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to the program. We're at the bottom of this first hour, Dana Lash here with you. And you can listen, coast to coast, channel 347, direct TV. You can find us at X and YouTube. And I would direct you to Rumble, but Rumble's given us problems. Like, they don't

like us. I don't think. Like we're, they don't list our show as being live. They interrupt it constantly. Like our audio doesn't match with our video. None of our, our whole crew was like, this doesn't seem to be accidental. It's real weird. So I don't know. I'm so used to getting kicked around to YouTube. I'm just not going to promote Rumble doing the same to me. So until they get their stuff together, just pretend that we're not there and just find us on 347 DirecTV or X. Those are the only legitimate places that you can actually find like where they don't suppress you. because Rumble does surprise. That's a lie that they don't. They absolutely do. I mean, you've got to kiss major fat ass or give them a lot of money in order to play the game. And I'm like, that's not, we're not doing that. By the way, I'm not in a mood today. I don't know if you can tell or not. So this Pambondi issue, I have zero patience with some of this stuff. Because yesterday I'm like, oh, maybe it doesn't seem like it's such an offensive pick. And then I went in and I was looking at, and I didn't champion her, by the way. And I didn't say, yes, let's go and get her confirmed.

I'm like, oh, this seems like an inoffensive pick. Then I was reading yesterday about all of her history, because I'm familiar with Moody. Bondi was there under Scott. And so I was reading about all of her positions. And I just, it freaks me out, guys. I'm not going to lie. I think this is a huge issue. We're not talking.

I'm not talking about this. Like it's, oh, it's secretary of the interior. It's this or that. This is somebody who literally could ruin your life. in a position of power with what they have. And so if we're not on the same page with something as basic as like the Fourth

and Fifth Amendment, that's disqualifying guys. And you need to demand better. I got a bunch of these beta males out here that are yelling at me and whining and crying and having their periods like, oh, where are you red flags so important to you? I mean, I'm sorry that you're not man enough to carry or concern

yourself with, you know, self-defense. But, you know, some of us are and some of us want to, and we don't want to ever have our property seized from us due to false accusations or being told that we have to prove our innocence in a court of law. I just have no patience. I was joking with Kane earlier. I was like, I think I want to have like, you know, free crotch kicks for, you know, the beta males who think that this isn't a big issue, right? I mean, it's, you know, free of charge. Get your free crotch kick. It's not how I said it maybe, but that's the most pleasant way of putting it.

Thank you. I just, I don't have any patience for this. Why are, we, why are we flirting around with something like this? I mean, I, I, I don't know. It's, um, it's troubling. Now, just here's some of the hits. Let me just tell you some of the hits. So, there's a lot. So, so, and we got other stuff to hit, but this is important. So she, uh, first off, she, we played the video where she was promoting red flag law. In her own words, she was promoting red flag law. she has really fought a lot against a lot of gun rights she was uh i mean she fought against open carry she's not a big open carry supporter she uh was very very anti second amendment she she defended the standard ground law in florida but then she also was saying that stand your

ground uh she she had opposed to semi automatic weapon ban in connecticut she went after and defended the standard ground law in Florida, but that's kind of to the extent of it. So in 2013, she defended the bar on open carry. She was against open carry. And she also, I mean, she, I don't know,

I don't know why you would prohibit that, why you would encourage and advocate for the prohibition of that. she also was defending a lot of the gun control measures passed after parkland and that includes age restrictions she was vociferously in favor of age restrictions and she was very she tried to seem very two a when she was out there when she when she's out like on a campaign trail for folks but not really and when she was out campaigning for herself but not really so much with record I'm not going to hold it against her that she was a registered Democrat in the 90s because that There are a lot of people who've changed and switched over since then. But on two-way stuff, that's a big deal. And, I mean, what gets me is that some of the, you know, I'm just going to put it like that,

you get some really big Second Amendment organizations that are, that have people in Florida. And I see them, they get a lot of money and they don't do a damn thing for you. And I'm just curious because I didn't see any of them on stage with me when I was at Parkland. I sure has held and see any of them, you know, afterwards in the neighborhoods, trying to protect Second Amendment rights and advocate for that and educate on that when all of this stuff was passing under Rick Scott as governor with Pam Bondi as AG. But they're always quick to run and say like, and try to reassure their membership in the press and say things like, oh, Bondi's a friend of our organizations.

That's what one gun control lobbyist said or gun, Second Amendment lobbyist said. I mean, when you have two-A people like that as lobbying for gun rights groups, why do you need gun control? Someone who is restricting your rights is not a friend of your organization. So I just, I have a major problem with some of this stuff. By the way, that was Marion Hammer is who I'm talking about in case you wanted me to put a name to it. I got problems with this. Major problems with it. I mean, all of this.

I mean, when you have, when you're pushing for age restrictions, when you're pushing for waiting periods, when you're pushing, and this is the biggest thing, the complete flip of due process, I, that really, think about it. Trump has four years, okay? We got midterms in two years. If you get a second, a questionable on the Second Amendment AG in this position, and she does some damage, and she allows and establishes legal precedence against two, four, and five A. Where does that leave you if you get a Gavin Newsom administration after?

Do you see what I'm talking about? There are legal processes in place. If someone is dangerous, if they're a danger to themselves or others, you can adjudicate them mentally unfit. There's a number of ways to do it where you're still respecting the process of natural rights. and I'm not just talking about for that individual. You're not allowing a legal precedent to be established that affects everyone else negatively and can be weaponized against everyone else.

I have so many examples of this where this has been, where they've been improperly used, where they have been erroneously used in Colorado. There was a very famous case of a woman who just made up a red flag accusation and it was allowed to take, it was allowed to be implemented.

And they had to go to court and fight it and all that. I mean, red flag laws, assume that you're guilty. You have to pay to prove yourself innocent. And in some states, it's treated as a civil case, not a criminal case. So you have to, you have to pay for all of it yourself. That's the problem. The standard of the evidentiary standard is a lot lower. And in some states, any Tom Dick or Harry can make a file against you. And that's the argument that they're going to try to use to make this national, by the way, because every state, states laws are so different where the states that have incorporated red flag, there's no, there's no common standard of measure

where it concerns the evidentiary standard or anything else. And they're all kind of all over the place. And so that's one of the ways that gun control activists are trying to argue we need to establish a national one because, see, we got all these and they're not equal in every state. They're not consistent in every state. So we need to have a national standard. That's what they're pushing for. Someone like Pam Bondi, with her, history, she'll give it to them. I'm not, that's not hyperbole. I'm just stating her record. If people are upset with me stating her record, then I suggest you get pissed at her for having the record instead of me pointing out the record that she has. It is not my problem that someone

else decided that they were going to dare look their duty as an office holder and ignore natural rights. That's their issue, not mine. But I don't want to see people make the same mistake of getting someone who has, you know, the right letter after their name, but doesn't have the record to match. And we got to be really strict on this stuff. I'm going to tell you some of this process is not advantageous to everyone. It is more advantageous for me to sit here and blow smoke up everybody's backside and go rah, rah, yes team. This is great. I have no objections. It is a hell of a lot harder for me to say what I say and then get calls from people when I'm off air, which I guarantee are going to happen the moment I'm off air of people going to try to read me the riot act because I

dare disagree publicly. It is a hell of a lot easier for me to go out and be like, no, this is great. Let's just do it. That's how you make money in this environment is you just agree with everything. You're agreeable. You entertain and you're just agreeable and you don't put out any hard truths. That's great if you want to do weak-ass beta radio or beta commentary or beta podcasting. But that's not what we do.

That's not what we've ever done. And I, you know, quite frankly, don't want to help build a guy. government that has any vestige of anything that Merrick Garland represented or that puts into practice even a ghost of what he had in his previous tenure as AG and then sanction it because it's a Republican. Oh, it's okay now because it's a Republican doing it. I think you guys have seen too that not all Republicans are the same. I mean, right off the bat, I can come up with someone whose name rhymes with Smitch Pekanel. not all Republicans are the same

I gotta say now I don't want to sound mean and cranky you know we got a lot of other fun stuff too but I can't tell you how important this is this is very important and because she's so moderate on this stuff and don't take the bait and then just

and then just and act like any objection or take the take the bait of anyone trying to misconstrue any objection to her as being strictly about oh it's just a gun thing it is way more than that again, it is about due process. This isn't just Second Amendment. It's your fourth and fifth, too. Major, major concerns here. I welcome any clarifications. You know, she comes out tomorrow and says, I was wrong to do all this. I was wrong to do it. I'm never going to do this again. I'm always going to

be strict by the book of the Constitution, et cetera. You know, that's great. We can talk about going forward. But that's the issue. Nobody wants to clarify anything. I mean, I'm even telling you right now, yesterday when I saw it just in it we were on air and it was very quick when all the stuff was happening and I'm like it doesn't seem so inoffensive after radio I'm reading it I'm like oh no no no it's offensive yeah offend I don't like using that word it's concerning there's some concerns so this is something that we really we got to consider no can Paxton I don't know he's um I like for him to stay in Texas, but if I have to give him up, because he's strong on all of these issues, eh, you know, I think, I think I could probably be prevailed upon to part with him. I don't know,

really, would I? We'll talk about that more, but we'll see where this goes. But she, Bondi would, would get confirmed because she's moderate on these issues. She would absolutely get confirmed. I have no doubt. That's an issue because there's been no clarification of this, and she's got a very long record of advocating for all of this bad stuff. I'm not even getting into the Qatari payments, being a lobbyist for Qatar. That's like a whole other thing. I'm not going to lie. I actually, I just care more about the due process stuff more.

That's why people like our show, because they know that we are checked by ABC News. We're checked by everybody. Yeah, I mean, if we're wrong, we have, you know, the legal note here. The human legal? We went from Walter Cronkite

Basically to this guy, Joe Rogan, who believes in dragons. And he put dragon believer. I mean, you believe half of the stuff that comes out of your mouth, Joy Reed. Joy Reed, Joy Behar, I don't know. All these bees are the same. I'm so done. They're all the same. They really are.

Come on. Nobody cares. Oh, my gosh. And he makes more money than you. He's going to go crying to his piles of Scrooge McDuck money. as he picks up hundreds. People. I can't.

I don't even know. It's just so, I don't know, I'm cranky today. I don't want to be cranky today. It's Friday, but I am. I'm cranky today because there's so much, we had, Kane was telling us, or Steve was telling us. So do you know what, the thing that we talked about the other day, about that art piece called the comedian?

It was yesterday. Yesterday, thank you. Where it was a banana literally duct tape to a wall, and they sold it for $6.5 million. YouTube flagged it. It was not suitable for advertisers, which I don't get to... Just the clip worked, but the short didn't. The second little clip didn't work.

The hell did you say? It was dumb. It was a 60 second short. So the clip of us talking about it was okay. But YouTube got mad at us. I think the baristas, they try to flag as much stuff as possible. Every day it's something. Dana, you breathed wrong.

Dana, we don't like the way your face looks. Dana, we hate you. We hate your ideas. Like some of the YouTube glorified baristas get mad over something and they flag it. And it's like they make it to where you, it's, I can I complain just a moment? It is a digital hellscape. And I'm so glad that the people out there watching don't actually know all of the garbage that we have to put up with to be on YouTube and to get like the stuff out. Because they make it impossible.

They make it impossible. Heaven forbid I talk about any un-gay things, G-U-N, but in Pigleton are just really. That's how bad that sounds. You know what I mean? You can't talk about any pew-poo sticks because the moment I do, that's one that will immediately get suppressed. And if I go too much into it, then they try to pull it off. It's just, it's crazy. But yeah, they flagged it.

They were very upset over it. Someone said. I do have an update, though. I have an update. Oh, yeah. So it's all AI that flags this stuff. It's never a human. Oh, no.

It's some dork. I know it is. But I requested a review so a human can look at it and we got it through. So we are getting monetized. So you got to ask humans to do it for you. But what about like... Who trained AI to not like me? Baristas.

The baristas did. That's right. You know what would make all this better? I should get another puppy or another dog. Don't. I just pray he's not. Because I feel very like falling down. Like that movie, which was a... brilliant movie. I mean, the guy was a bad. He was a bad dude. But, you know, everybody at some point in the film, there was some part of it that somebody, people, it resonated with him.

But I'm telling you, it's, uh, I get it. Like, I think it's, we're post-election cycle and the media is not letting it go. So they want to fight over literally everything. They're going to, they're going to, like, continue the election litigation all the way up for everything. They're going to make you pay for winning. You're going to pay for winning and they're going to make it hell. Can I, can I volunteer to help make it hell back? See, that brings joy to my black little heart. We got a lot more.

That's K-E-L-T-E-C-Wapons.com. It's the P-15 tell them Dana sent you. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you, your retired goth crumogen. And we're at the top of our second hour this Friday, getting you all set up. We've been talking about concerns I got with the AG pick. I'd love to have her on and we can talk about it. And if she wants to clarify stuff, they'd be, you know, I'm totally about that.

I just, I want to impress on people the seriousness of a pick like this. This is one of the serious ones. So, you know, it has to be taken, obviously, as such. So we'll see. We'll see if we can get around. Usually when it comes to two-a stuff, it's very difficult if it's a elected official that maybe has been on the wrong side of the second amendment to come on to the program. Because they don't want to. Kane, isn't that correct?

They go from sending us everything that they do and asking for airtime all the time to, oh, no, suddenly they just, oh, no, on that issue, what? No, what? No, it can't. They hide. It's wild. So, and then I have to run them down and raise a fit on social media. And then you guys pressure them and then they come on. That's how you guys, you guys got Cornyn to come back. Cornyn had been on the show before, but then with the red flag bill, oh, I was livid.

And he didn't want to come on. And I said something about it on social media. And you all are like relentless. You guys were like, no, you're going to go on or something. And he did, because you guys wanted to hear what he had to say. He wasn't talking to anybody about this stuff. And it came on and we had a big old debate about it. But it's important, I think.

You need to have these clarifications. And I'm all about hearing people explain to me their processes. But until they do so, I have to, you know, I go by what I see and what the record is. So speaking of record, we got a record of an election two weeks ago. And have you seen the fund rate? I asked yesterday, where's Kamala Harris? I asked yesterday, where is she? She's trying to raise money.

Now, what they're saying is that she, She's raising money for a recount. But you guys know it's not. She's $20 billion or $20 million in the hole. She's $20 million in debt. They raised a billion dollars to, how did she spend $1.2? I don't know.

I don't know. Yeah. How much did Bay Alsai get to show up? Yeah. And Oprah got some. them. Yeah, they get paid. So now they're pushing for a recount. And they're sending out these emails. And they're pushing for a recount. And that's, it's just the last gas. They have the Harris Victory Fund that is a joint fundraising committee that she's authorized with the DNC and other state parties. And apparently they're, they're kind of, the deadline to request a recount in Wisconsin's already, that's the closest state. Trump won that by less than 1%. That's already done.

and that was Tuesday of this week, I think. And then Nevada, it's like 14 days after. And Pennsylvania, that has to be 20 days after the election. The fact that they have an event, they're not going to do this. This is her trying to raise money to pay off the $20 million. $20 million. That's what this is. She's trying to raise money to pay this off.

Because she broke. She's broke. And here's the thing. The FEC, they will allow. candidates to go out there and raise money for a recount, even if they have no intention of actually filing for a recount. Oh, Kane, tis true. Tis true. Yep. Mm-hmm. Of course that is. It's total BS. Yeah. That's what they, and so they're, they're trying to raise funds for future political battles rather than recounts in other areas.

That's so shady. That is so shady. So yeah, that's a problem. But that's a Democrat problem. They can go out and they can fleece their voters. I'm completely fine with that. Completely fine with it. They can go.

They can fleece their people. And Democrats will be fine with that. They don't mind it. I don't know. Did you guys? Now, we're going to be talking about some of the media stuff because we have Brendan Carr who's going to be on later in this program. And he's going to be joining us to talk about, he's actually, we got, we got A.G. Ken Paxson

coming up. And then we've got Brenton Carr, who's going to be joining us in our third hour for this, you know, because he's going to be the new commissioner of the FCC, as he should be. But it is interesting because remember, Comcast is doing a spinoff. They're altering their business model. and they're separating their cable programming for to offer to so they can offer up something else and make some deals. So New York Post has this piece. MSNBC staffers are in a panic because NBC parent Comcast is doing a spinoff channel and it may change its name. They also cut Rachel Maddow's pay. Not a lot.

It's, I mean, it sounds like a lot to us. it's a lot of money to me from 30 million to 25 million oh she's only getting 25 million so sad can how's it even happened so sad and um yeah they have staff that are fearing layoff so they look like they're it looks like they're going to be in they're going to do a spinoff like a spinoff show or spinoff network because they've got all kinds of you know they're they're it's just wild that this is how they're doing it and some are wondering, is it a coincidence after watching the election that they've decided to do this? Because you have a free market cable regulator, as New York Post had noted, who's nominated as chair of the FCC, it's Brennan Carr, and then you have MSNBC changing its business model.

Hmm. Hmm. I mean, Comcast said they're breaking up into two different things. So you're going to have MSNBC, CNBC, and then I guess they're doing a more deal-friendly, like, spinoff. Very interesting. I don't know. But it does seem like it's not just a coincidence, right? I don't believe in a coincidence in DC, do you? Kane? I think some of this has to do with them transitioning to digital. I think a lot of this is they realize that they cannot afford all the stuff that they're doing because the return on that investment is nothing now compared to digital. I don't know how they're paying people $25 and $30 million when it doesn't, that's not supported by their ads, their business model. I don't get it. It's real weird.

It doesn't make any sense. But I don't know. I'm just saying, you know, doesn't make any sense. So that's something I want to bring up with Brennan Carr. Like, I wonder, like, what do you think of this? Very interesting. So we'll see.

He's, he's, uh, this is one regulatory agency where it, they, they needed car. They needed car running this. So they said that they're, they're going to be charging fewer people at Comcast, charging fewer people to use their traditional cable lines for connectivity. Uh, and that's getting into, it's getting into all of that. So I don't know. It's also 5G too. So it's not just there.

the thought is that it's not just Comcast cable that's going to see a reduced profit margin because, I mean, obviously, you know, cut cords, but it's also a 5G issue that's contributing to that, which is interesting. So, we shall see. But I do find that, you know, they're having to make these big changes. They're having to make these big changes. It's necessary to do so. also a couple of other things couple of things because we've got Kim Paxton who's going to be coming up and then of course

we're going to talk to Brendan Carr later on in the program about all of this speaking of MSNBC I got to share with you this ridiculous headline that they have I read the and I've seen all the debate over it MSNBC had a headline

where they were writing about the Jose Abara the murderer the murderer the guy who killed Lake and Riley and the headline was he never stood a chance. The murderer, they said the guilt of Lake and Riley's, excuse me, the guilt of talking about Lake and Riley's killer. They changed their headline, but Twitter never forgets or X never forgets. Social media never forgets.

And it said that Jose Iberra never stood a chance. Wow. So I understand. the I think the rage is completely justified. This is a stupid headline. It is a dumb. This is a dumb.

It's a dumb headline. Lake and Riley's killer never stood a chance. The outcome of this trial was never in doubt. I mean, yeah, that's bad. And some people were trying to defend the writer saying, well, they didn't choose the headline. That's irrelevant. And in some instances,

First off, that presupposes, that's, that's, you're begging the question by saying that it's less offensive because the writer doesn't, you don't even know whether or not the writer chooses the headline. You're assuming that it is less offensive because you're, you're, you're saying that it's less offensive because you're assuming that the writer didn't write the headline. You have no idea what the writer did or didn't do. Number one, not every digital entity works like that. Number two, uh, this is, this is just a bad, you know what MSNBC could have said, uh, that the way that, that the way that, that the procedural analysis and when you look at the bench trial versus jury trials and all of this stuff and evidence and that, you know, it could be a boring story on policy and procedure with regards to, you know, the comparison of bench versus jury, but that doesn't get attention and it renders the article really boring and everyone wants to click on it. So part of me wonders if they didn't, if they put up this headline just for the outrage of it.

Not because they agree with it, but because of the outrage of it. I don't know. It's still regardless, I don't care what reason, what the reason is. It's stupid. It is absolutely stupid. You have every right to be outraged over this. Because I saw some people, actually, it's shameful. You don't have to defend this.

It's bad. I mean, is it a clickbait headline? Yes. Is it heinous? Yes. It's all bad. So I don't know what they're saying, oh, well, he entered the country illegally and they, you know, for the outcome of the trial was never in doubt. The verdict was going to be guilty. And for defense, it was a hopeless case. I mean, they really try to make this guy sound almost sympathetic. But you know what? That's what happens when you're a murderer who has an overabundance of evidence against him. in an open and shut case has already confessed, already said he did it. It's kind of, yeah, the verdict is pretty obvious. You don't need a clickbait headline MSNBC. No wonder they're freaking out.

No wonder they're having to cut salaries. Because this is garbage. So as you don't, however much you hate the media, it's not enough. It really isn't. We have headlines on the way. Life can take a toll on our bodies. There's no way around it. and whether it's just sitting for hours on end at your computer or if you're working a physical

job, over time your body pays the price. There is, however, an effective way to turn back the clock on pain. Relief factor. Developed by doctors, relief factor helps support your body's response to inflammation. And the difference, instead of just masking pain, relief factor helps eliminate it for good and it's 100% drug-free. My husband Chris has taken relief factor with incredible results. So if the pains that come with living a full life are affecting you, do as many others have done and turn back the clock on pain with Relief Factor. Their three-week quick start is just 1995. That's less than a dollar a day. And when you feel good, it's amazing how much more you get out of life. Visit Relieffactor.com or call 1-800 for relief. That's 1-800-the-number-4 relief. Try it for

only 1995 and turn back the clock on pain with Relief Factor. Relieffactor.com. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. So this was like a crazy case. This is the Connor McGregor case. So apparently they found him guilty of a woman who said that she was brutally raped and battered in her Dublin Hotel Penthouse. She got $250,000.

She was awarded by a civil court in Ireland today. She said it was a December 9th, 2018 assault. It left her heavily bruised. He shook his head. It was a jury of eight women and four men. They returned the verdict. after deliberating for six hours. And he testified that he never forced her to do anything.

I mean, basically he was saying that he just cheated on his wife, you know, which is just horrible. But he, and she was with him. He was with him in court. But yeah, they found him guilty. And he's in the civil case. And so, which is, so they're demanding that he pays up. That's according to the Associated Press. Elon Musk's Neurlink has been greenlit for its first brainship trial outside.

side of the United States. And it's this brain computer interface startup. It's already received approval from Health Canada to begin recruitment for its first clinical trial in the country. And we'll see. But it's a big, they said it's a significant milestone in the quest to develop technology that enables individuals with paralysis to control external devices using only their thoughts, which is wild. That's crazy. Also, Christmas tree shortage. 80,000 are apparently destroyed by floods, and the industry is not going to recover for about 15 years, they're assuming. That's, I mean, goodness, it's Hurricane Helene.

It tore through a North Carolina farm in September, uprooted 80,000 trees ruined a family's legacy, and apparently other farms are suffering similar catastrophes. And they said they're going to have to strip everything back, take it down to the dirt, and start all over. They said it's millions of dollars in many years. It's just awful. And again, that's just one of many, many of these tree farms around the Appalachian region where that was really hardest hit by the hurricane and all the fallout from it. But gosh, they said that, you know, some of the trees are rotted at their cores now because of the flooding and all of that.

So it's going to, trees are going to be expensive. A mysterious orb zooming past New York City was accidentally caught on film by a local news chopper. I'm just going to say it looks like aliens. it's right what do you think it is could it be a glare in the glass probably not I think it's going to be the most ridiculous explanations usually a truthful one

I'm just saying it might be Ellen DeGeneres has moved to Great Britain says she's never coming back to the United States whant-want nobody cares and Brazil's this is wild Brazil's former president Bolsonaro and his aides have been indicted for an alleged 22 coup attempt now

he was banned last year from running for office for eight years. So lots of stuff happening. Coming up, Ken Paxton joins us. He's going to, we're going to ask him about some of the picks for AG and also going after the CCP in Texas. Stick with us. Make some common sense of the crazy headlines with the Dana Show podcast.

Find us on Substack chapter and verse, the newsletter that everybody, everybody subscribes to, so you should get it as well. We've been talking about AG picks and we're going to get into some of the stuff in Texas too. Because see, this is why when people were saying we need Ken Paxton as AG.

And I'm like, that's a great pick, but also come and take him because he's our AG. and we kind of need him here in Texas because Texas has got some stuff to deal with. I was reading just an article today that's talking about the DPS now going after CCP operators. And he joins us. Texas Attorney General 51st AG of Texas joins us now on the phone.

He's a very busy man. General, it's a pleasure to have you. I got to say, did the thought cross your mind maybe? I mean, if you were offered, the Attorney General spot, is that something that you would have you know maybe perhaps would you have left us in Texas would you have taken it

you know what it would have been a hard call because I love my job I love being in Texas I don't want to be in Washington every day all day long you know every week however I think significant things need to be done at the Department of Justice and the FBI because there's so much corruption

and so yeah I think I would have done it if I was asked but I would have been reluctant to leave Texas and leave what I'm doing because I love what I'm doing I love serving the people of Texas. So it would have been more out of just we need to fix this huge problem, get it done and come back to Texas. Yeah. Yeah.

And I mean, there does need, there's a lot that needs to be done, not just federally, but, you know, also here. Because you've been, I mean, I think you wake up every day and you just decide what fight you're going to get into. How I think your day starts. You're talking to Ken Paxon, Attorney General, the great Republican Texas. I wanted to ask you, too, about some of that, because I know I would have loved to see you as AG. I think you've been a great AG for Texas, and we're going to get into some of that stuff. And I kind of wanted to just real quick, because I know that the president has nominated Pam Bondi. And some of us, you know, who really like our second, fourth and fifth amendment are a little bit nervous about some of the stuff that she's supported in the past as AG, whether it's the red flag law and, you know, the age restriction, stuff that, you know, it doesn't fly in Texas.

I just, I didn't know if you had a thought about any of that. Look, I know her really well. She served as a Florida AG. There were a lot of things that we worked together on that we agreed on. We sued the Biden administration over and over. Certainly some of the things you're talking about, I honestly disagreed with her. So she and I probably agree, you know, 80% of the time, 90% of the time, but some of those issues are obviously pretty important. So I'm hoping that, you know, she will go in and do what needs to be done at the Department of Justice, the FBI, and just dismantle the corruption.

and bring in the right people to get back to doing justice instead of political injustice, which is what we've got going now. Yeah, and that's, and especially with some of the red flag and age restriction, last quick question on that before we move on. Do you think that that's something that would benefit her to clarify and speak about at a greater length? Yeah, I do. I think she should explain her positions on those. Those matter.

Obviously, Second Amendment issues are huge to our country, to the Constitution, to the fundamental rights that we were branded when this country was starting. And anything related to free speech, obviously, is right up there on the First Amendment. And due process, because you know better than anyone, General, about witch hunts and smears against your character and, you know, just completely fabricated accusations. And when people try to go at you in a court of law, I mean, you lived it. Yes, I absolutely did. And we had the Texas House, supposedly, you know, Republicans leading the way to offer up a process

that wasn't a process where there was no due process, unlike I think, any impeachment in history of the country. So yes, I have experienced it. I understand how important it is, but that applied to the due process to apply to everyone no matter what their position. Absolutely. I wanted to ask you about this order that came out, Texas Department of Public Safety, going after CCP influence operations like Operation Fox Hunt to forcibly return people to China. that is happening general in Texas. Tell us about this. Yeah, so I'm just kind of learning about it myself.

I knew from the immigration problems that the Biden administration proliferated and created that we had all kinds of foreign nationals here that were not invited. And there's no reason when the border's wide open that our enemies wouldn't send people over here to spy on us to potentially be here if they wanted to commit some type of act of violence or aggression. And so I'm not surprised. And I do think it is something that both states like Texas and, you know, the new administration need to address rather quickly because we could ultimately have some serious problems related to it. And this is on the heels of the other big story about China and the CCP. They had all these substations like these quasi-police

substations all throughout the United States targeting dissenters, which is, that's just wild for us in the United States to think about. Like if you go to a different country, you would have like a U.S. substation watching your activity. But that's what the CCP has been doing here. This that said Texas is not going to tolerate the harassment or coercion of the 250,000 individuals of Chinese descent who call Texas home. Yeah, that's a, that's, I mean, we already have the cartels to worry about general. We don't need the communist Chinese on top of it.

Well, you know, absolutely. And there's no way that obviously China would tolerate us having police over in their country and I know of no other country that would tolerate that. So it's definitely something needs to be addressed rather quickly. And I'm certainly hopeful that both the leadership in Texas and this administration will address it like on day one. Speaking of cartels and injustice, this insanity that's been happening at the southern border. What can you tell me about the idea of, because Tom Homan's been named Borders are, what is that going to look like on the border? What's going to change in your eyes, your experience as

attorney general, litigating these cases, fighting the federal government so that you can enforce Texas sovereignty? What does a Tom Holman borders are look like day one on the border for you? It is the reverse of what we've had with Kamala Harris. It is actually someone I've worked with Tom when he was in the administration before. He's a great man. He cares about the right things. And he will start enforcing the laws that are in place that are elected representatives. ended up put in place as opposed to the Biden administration that completely not only just ignore those laws. They didn't just ignore them.

They violated them by encouraging the cartels to bring people in here. It was like a tacit partnership between the cartels and the Biden administration to get illegals here. So I'm optimistic. They've got a huge job ahead of them because they've got so many illegal aliens here. Plus they've got to go back and secure the border, which obviously has not happened for four years. Mm-hmm.

And you're also fighting, and you announced this, just. yesterday, an investigation into possible conspiracy by advertising companies to boycott certain social media platforms. You say that you're looking to, because the Biden administration failed to enforce antitrust laws against perceived political allies and that companies cannot collude to block revenue from entities that they wish to undermine. This is like the digital landscape. We were just talking about this on break. I mean, it really is a fight of free expression, free speech, the free distribution of information. Tell us about this investigation and what you hope comes of it.

What's going to be the final conclusion? So we're investigating the World Federation of Advertisers. It's a global marketing group that supposedly represents 150 of the largest world brands, 60 trade, different types of associations, and 90% of all global marketing communication. So this is a big entity that has a lot of sway. and just from what we know, it appears that they colluded, and we'll find out more as we ask them questions

that they're required to answer under state law, they colluded to stop certain advertising to what they view as conservative outlets that don't censor speech in the right way. That's illegal. Now, individual companies can make their own decisions about how they want to advertise, but you can't have an association like that collude

to restrain trade and eliminate free market competition. and that's what we're investigating. And the Biden administration obviously agreed with that and did not do their job with their federal antitrust laws investigating. They should have at least done an investigation to find out what was going on. So we're going to do it. Yeah, it feels like under the Biden administration, they felt so empowered and so untouchable that they were really open about this. I mean, that's, you know, I saw some people on social media on X trying to argue with you about it. But it's like we know that this has been happening because they have felt emboldened enough to brag about it publicly.

That's exactly right. And look, these social media companies have immense power. They make it, you know, multi-billions of dollars, and they have a lot of influence. And they have a lot of influence in Congress. They have a lot of influence over the administration. And they definitely have censored. I've experienced it on searches where they discriminate against conservatives, and that's a real problem. They're supposed to be a free open market platform, and that's not actually what's.

happening these days. No, it's not at all, not at all happening. And that's what's incredibly unfortunate. Well, I know we're all looking forward to the new administration coming in in January. Hopefully, you know, we can get some answers from the nominee for AG. But I'm just saying, Attorney General, if the administration came and said that we need Ken Paxton, as much as we like you here in Texas, we understand that you would be serving a great, great purpose by doing it for the nation. So I think maybe, because, you know, we were ready to fight over you. But I think maybe we could allow that. Well, look, I'm a huge fan of Donald Trump.

I love it. What he accomplished in the first four years? I think he's going to provide the leadership to turn the disaster around the Biden administration created. So, I mean, if he asked for my help, you know, I would give it to him. There we go. Attorney General Ken Paxson, we appreciate your fights. Are in your time today. Thanks so much.

Thank you. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's a time. Time for Florida man. What is the word Elon Musk impersonator? What's that phrase? What's that phrase? State of you?

Because this Florida man, I don't even know how this happens. This guy, he, he pretended that he was Elon Musk so he could scam a 74-year-old woman out of more than $250,000. Florida officials said they arrested this guy. He was pretending to be,

and this was just a couple days ago, he was pretending to be Elon Musk. His name is Jeffrey Arthur Moynihan, he scammed a Texas woman out of a quarter of a million dollars, although officials think it was probably more. He was impersonating Musk on Facebook when this woman befriended him. They exchanged messages for several months, and he told the woman to invest in his businesses, promising her a $55 million return. So all the financial records show that she transferred all this money over to his accounts. And him and his business called Jeff's painting and

pressure washing. And then the woman's husband said that, beyond that, the woman's husband said she transferred $600,000 to this pretend Elon Musk. And he was finally arrested at his home. He's going to be investigated further. No, never ever do anything like that. Never give your money to anybody like this. That's crazy.

A guy pretending to be Elon Musk. I just can't. I don't even know. Oh, my gosh. Oh, Kane. This one is crazy. The bee thing? A Florida man survived a killer bee attack while trimming trees.

He said the pain was excruciating. He's a Brevard County guy. He was trimming trees. And when apparently thousands of these bees came in, he owns a land service, traveled across the state for his job. He was stung over 120 times. He's also allergic to it. And he was on a crane. And he, so he got stung over 120 times.

He's allergic to bees. He was on a crane and he fell 30. feet to the ground when they started stinging. And he had to be hospitalized. He still has swollen wells. He was pulling out stingers from all over his body. He said the pain was excruciating. And apparently he was trimming trees and it hit the hive. And that's what happened. So, wow. That's just wild. They had to pick him up, carry him in the car. It was pretty bad. But he said the swelling's gone. He just has little red marks everywhere. And yeah, you don't want to make the beast the bees mad that's a that's a bad thing uh also this story do do do do this

this up former uh saint pete council member was accused of hiding cameras in an air vent to watch a woman shower 64 year old geoffrey danner not domer danner very very close was taken into custody for a one kind of digital voyeurism the woman said she was okay she was she was she was in the shower at his house. They'd known each other beforehand and she was temporarily staying with him. And she said that she noticed something when she was in the shower at his at his residence. And there were these cameras in an air vent. One of them pointed directly towards the shower. And she took pictures of them, showed police as evidence. She showed a text conversation in which she confronted him over the cameras. And he responded to her with a text message claiming that he never connected them after realizing how

stupid and perverted it was. And so he used to be on the city council and so he was booked in jail without bond. So wait a minute. I'm not excusing anything, but it was in his house, right? In his bathroom. And she was staying there.

I'm just wondering. I'm not saying that he should have but where does one draw the line? What if you have guests over and say that you have safety cameras like you know you have cameras like ring cameras you have cameras on your door you have cameras

like in your kitchen or cameras on your entrances and exits does that qualify i don't know i'm just i don't know which is why i'm literally posing the question i think it's i mean it's it's fair it's a little weird it's in his house it's fair i could have taken one look at this guy and told you he's a pervert don't shower in his bathroom it's fair to say i could have saved you the problem yeah that's a horrible perverted thing to do yeah whether it's in your house or yeah it is it's horrible But at the same time, I'm like, should the government tell you what you can put in your own bathroom vent?

See where how awkward this is? I don't know. Oh, it's a tough thing. All right. Also, a Florida man with a suspended license stole an SUV because he needed to go talk to Donald Trump. It was a very important conversation. Sarasota man.

He was totally arrested. Bail said at $20,000. Yeah, he stole the car. It's almost the price of the car that he stole, actually. Stick with us. We've got more in store. third hour on the way. Welcome. There's my voice goes. Already it's allergies. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. We're at the top of this third hour coming up. We got FCC, the new chairman

of the FCC commission, Brendan Carr, is going to be joining us. We're so glad that he's going to be back into that role. And we just spoke with AG Kempaxon. You can see highlights of that and then also the full discussion up on YouTube. So lots of good things. thinks this Friday's. It's a we're getting ready to go into thanksgiving weekend. Now it came out. We've been talking about some of the cabinet picks that is so it looks like Gates is out. And the reason I said this is because and I was talking to some friends of mine. There's a little bit of a catch. He he had resigned 118th Congress seat, but see he won election for the 119th Congress. So technically you could. There's that there's a caveat there. It's a little fuzzle of. It's a little fudgeon. It's a

I actually went and I was looking back at the law and it actually is, they're saying that it becomes, they said the resignation of a member from the house, whether presented to the executive authority of the state concern or to the speaker of the house becomes effective on its stated terms and ordinarily may not be withdrawn. So his resignation pertain to 118th, not 119th. But that's all moot at this point because he had said he told the press that he's not going to take the seat in the 119th Congress. I find that that interesting, which makes me wonder about that ethics report. And I really don't care to dive into it anymore, but I just think that it had to do with keeping the ethics report from being made public. That, I don't know, I keep hearing from people that there's a lot more in there than you know, and the scope of it's pretty crazy and all the, I don't know. What I do know is that it does kind of look like he doesn't want to come out if he's not even going to resume or take his seat that he won fair and square in an election for the 119th. So I don't know. He, because then you know why, that puts him back under the purview of the House Ethics Committee. And then that report

becomes germane again. And, and then, you know, it, it's, it can be released. And, and they would have to, they would have to, uh, discuss it. So I don't know if they would, they would open them up for censure, depending on what's in it or what's, who knows? But, um, his wife had said yesterday that it was end of an era and then he apparently made mention to the press today that he's not going to take his seat in the 119th. So it kind of seems like it's about avoiding that ethics committee report. I mean, just looking at it on its face. Because being in the House, even if he were, and I was talking to somebody about this the other day or yesterday, even if he were to take, which is never going to happen. If he was appointed to the Senate, then the Senate, that gives them.

and Schumer who want that ethics report, that gives them justification to get it. And then it would, so either way, it would come out so he can't, he would have to stay out of Congress for it to not be made public. And maybe that's, maybe that's the issue. I don't know. I'm just saying, I mean, it's, you know, not like, I do find it interesting. The accusations against Pete Huggseth, which seem very new and Kavanaugh-esque, I don't think that there's any shred of truth in those.

I really don't. just because of the timing and it just follows that same old formula. The Gates thing predates this by years. So it's not as easily explained away, the Gates thing. But that said, I saw that the left were saying, can you believe that these people have sexual accusations against them and that Trump is actually considering them for these cabinet positions and all this stuff? Really? Democrats are saying that?

Hey, Kane. where is the place that name a place that Teddy Kennedy parked his car near a lake near a lake all right in a lake in a lake was there a woman in it there was leaving a woman to drown to death

in a car yeah seems kind of serious no oh it's yeah that's serious as it gets yeah what about that time guy who was president of the United States was grabbing women and had to settle out of court with him before it came out that he had enjoyed some inappropriate, uh, romantical times under the desk. It depends on what is, is, though.

Yeah, it depends on what your definition of is is. Yeah, that's a very good point, Pilklin. Yeah, very good point. I'm just saying, oh, what about Al Gore? Y'all remember this is so gross. Remember the story about Al Gore? he was going up getting himself a massage Al Gore was getting a massage and he asked the masseuse if they would release his inner chakra woo that's what that was oh oh so gross he's so nasty

so I'm just saying I don't want to hear any of these sexual deviance speak up or make a peep. I'm not even going to get into John Edwards. I mean, that guy fleeced an elderly heiress to pay for his baby mama and then try to make his staff member take a responsibility and claim that the baby was his.

You know what that did to his wife? His own marriage? That's horrible. It was really hard on the guy's marriage. It's one of the reasons why the guy actually blew the whistle on John Edwards. That was their golden boy. So I'm not going to hear it from these sexual devians.

No. I mean, Democrats literally screwed in the Senate chamber. They made a porn video in the Senate chamber. Gay porn. I'm not going to hear from you, people. You did. You had a topless tranny on the White House lawn for Easter. Not going to hear it from you people.

No. Two separate cocaine discovery. Oh, my gosh. I'm not even going to get into the cocaine in the White House. I mean, let's be real here, folks. I'm not going to hear from these sexual devians. So the party that drowned a lady in a lake, the party that got some romantical times from under the executive desk after having settled with women that he was accused of sexually harassing, the party, yeah, the party that did the secretary sandwich, the party that wanted a masseuse to release their inner chakra, the party that filmed gay porn in the Senate chamber, the party that had the topless tranny on the the, up for Easter on the White House lawn, y'all don't get to talk smack, especially when it's

made up accusations about, like, nominees like Pete Huggseth. You guys sit down. Sit down. I mean, at some point, I would like settle for a regular old cat call compared to what these freaks have done. I mean, what about the dude who was stealing all the ladies' luggage and he dressed up in pleather when he wasn't rolling around in a furry pile? What about that? I mean, it makes you want some good old-fashioned cat calling after that, right? Like, golly. Yeah, take us back to when, you know, who you had that instead of, you know,

the bald guy stealing everyone's luggage as he's like fetishizing himself in pleather and furries. I just can't. Nah. No, thank you. So, yeah, they don't get to, they don't get to pass judgment on any of that stuff. You had this, the guy who,

I can't believe Adam Kinsinger is taking I just want to make fun of him. I'm not going to lie. Let's just make fun of Adam Kinsinger. It's audio sum by nine. Yeah, I mean, I think it's going to be like way more intense because if you think about it, again, yes, Heggsath was not charged with that. He also wasn't exonerated, as you mentioned. But the military's had an issue with sexual assault that they've been trying to address for a number of years. And now you're putting a guy that's potentially guilty of that in charge of the Pentagon. And so I think the hearings are going to be pretty brutal for him.

Are they going to be as brutal as shooting a reporter at your stupid campaign range day for the loser Senate candidate that you were pushing? Remember that guy you guys shot? How's he doing? Hey, that range that's operated by a prohibited possessor? What about that one? Yeah? I don't know. Where does Adam Kinsinger go when Trump's out of office?

What happens to those people? They got to find somebody new to hate. what is he going to do? Think about it. Guys, his job security runs out when Trump leaves office in four years. What is he going to do? What is he going to do? He's got to hurry up and recruit someone else to hate to bits. I mean, they're not going to like him if he likes somebody. They only want him there because he's a troll. And he's a real bad one too. Like when you accidentally troll yourself, that's not how that works. I'm not supposed to work that way. I was just saying. man so speaking of uh i'm gonna just get some of this audio because we got some we got some good stuff we have uh audio soundbite eight general mark milly talking about the ladies in the combat go this is audio soundbite eight please don't lecture me about women in combat women have been in combat and it doesn't matter if that 7-6-2 hit you in the chest no one gives if it's a woman or a guy who pulled that turd you're still dead so if you meet the story you're still dead so if you meet the

standards. Our military must be and always should be. A standards-based merit-based. Yeah, don't sit here and lecture me with your gaslighting BS. Because we're not talking about merit or standard-based. We're literally talking about the ingratiation of women at all levels, including like on-the-ground strike teams, like hand-to-hand combat style. That's what the issue is. He was very careful with his word choices. So I do take exception to someone who decorates themselves with all these medals and gets up there and tries to do this appeal to authority by acting like you have no right to question any of this, but they do because this is what I did and you don't get to lecture me, but like hell, we don't get to lecture you. The fact that I pay a crap tonne in taxes,

I get to lecture you all day long, sweet cheeks, all day long. And if you don't like it, then I suggest you go find another line of work. That's how this works here. You know, you don't just get to like to make these edicts and then we all got to live with it. And furthermore, he was quite careful with his speech. It is really hard to expect the American people. to take seriously any form of authority when that form of authority constantly lies to them, constantly misrepresents things, tries to

obfuscate, completely just omits facts so that they can better suit their narrative. Hegsteth was very careful in what he said. I don't care if you like him or not. That's irrelevant. If you're not open-minded enough to realize that he was talking about, yeah, I'm fine with women and pilots, fine with this. But

he's talking about what we're all talking about, the basic sense combat as we know it. Right? Like the bare basis. combat of what we know. That's exactly what he's talking about. And there are a lot of female veterans, many of whom are my friends, some of them are very good friends, some of them are in my family, that feel the same way. And they totally get what Hegg Seth was talking about. But of course, you know, you got the DEI guy up there on the stage saying, no, there's not what I was talking about. I was talking to you. No, you don't lecture me. I'll lecture you lunchbox, especially when

you're misrepresenting it. This is misrepresentation. And then you wonder why the American people don't trust positions of authority. Why we don't trust government agencies? Because you got these people in the upper echelon telling you that what you heard you didn't hear and here's in fact what he said. Well, what he said. And if you don't know, guess what? We have this amazing thing called the internet. You can go and listen to him talk about it. He's talked about it six ways to Sunday. I don't know why he's got to keep repeating it. Well, he does because these people keep lying about it. They keep lying about it. So they're trying to claim that he was, no, he was talking about all women. Not just in combat.

They're trying to make it out like all women serving. And he's very specific. Words have meaning. He was very specific. And they're pretending that he wasn't. And now all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. So let's see.

Wait for this. It's Friday. wouldn't be a week unless we had an issue. So starting with, let me pull this up, bear with me. This is gross. Let's do this one. Passengers duct taped a man who tried to open a door during a flight. Like, I'm immediately thinking, do they duct tape them to the wall of, like, the cabin?

Like, you see some people with their toddlers? I don't know. A group of passengers sprung into action. This was a trip to Dallas, Tuesday, morning. They stopped a guy who was trying to open the Cabin door mid-flight during a trip to Dallas. It was an American Airlines flight from Milwaukee, and it was a Canadian

National. He allegedly approached a flight attendant asked to open the cabindore while they were in flight. He grew more agitated when he was denied. He got arrested at Dallas-Fort Worth Airport. And they rushed to assist the flight attendant, and they taped, I'm going to just tell you, if this were to happen on a flight where I am, I will

go right up to the line of killing you. I'm not kidding. I'm not kidding. Like I feel like, oh my gosh, I feel like that Key and Peel segment where the guys on the flight just trying to enjoy his flight and Key and Peel are like, if any, Terry, if you want to get Froppy up in here, we're ready to drag

that. It was so great. So, that's, that's, I saw that and I actually understood them and I was like, I feel you. All right, moving on. Let's see. Oh, there's a state-of-the-art vacuum-powered trash system. in Harlem.

How many people are going to get up into that? Yeah, it's a public housing building in the country that's using pneumatic technology and you put the trash in a high-powered system and it shoots it, use the suction to shoot trash from 115 shoots. It actually sounds kind of neat.

And they have entry points to deliver bags to their proper dumpsters. That's actually really kind of cool. I'm not going to lie. It looks like a hamster house, but it looks kind of cool. Hope it works and it's harmless. Yes, people are totally going to get, oh man, they're going to find bodies in that. Come on, let's be real, it's going to have it.

And a scientist teach rats to drive tiny cars. Somebody paid for those. And then they discovered that the rodents enjoy revving the engines. This literally was probably paid for by taxpayers. This is one of the things that, you know, I don't know why they feel like, well, let's study. They put the rats in these little Pope Mobile cars, and the rats really like driving their vehicles.

And they have intense motivation to drive. They said they like to lever the engine and they rev it up. And yeah, they love driving their cars. Really? Really? Coming up. FCC chairman. New chairman. Incoming. Brendan Carr joins us. Stick with us.

Brighten up your timely news consumption with a Dana Show podcast where every update comes with a little dash of not so serious on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts. I have to say, first, welcome back to everybody out there watching, whether you're listening to the radio program terrestrily watching the simulcast, channel 347 direct TV X, Facebook, YouTube, everywhere else. I was very excited when I saw, which you knew it was coming after the election, Brendan Carr, now he's back in charge of the FCC.

very, and I really like Brennan Carr because he is a no nonsense straight no chaser kind of guy. He gets it, he gets digital because a lot of the people that talk about digital and broadcast and there's like you can tell that there's certain things that they don't understand. He gets it and

he really, really appreciates free speech, which we appreciate him appreciating. He joins us now via Skype and Brendan Carr always a pleasure and congratulations again. It is well deserved and we are so glad to have you back as the head commissioner, the commissioner of the FCC.

Yeah, thanks so much, Dana. Great to be with you. I mean, look, the last couple of years, we've done a lot of hits together. It's been a lot of bad news, usually, and it is really, really heartening to join you on the back end of some really great news, I think, for the country. We're going to get this thing turned around. There's so much going on. We can get into on media bias, on tech censorship.

There's so much we can do on unleashing economic opportunity. And the truth is, President Trump, it is a business. and his administration did this once before, and we're going to do it again. And it's a very, very exciting time. Yeah. And as you mentioned, there's a lot of stuff to deal with and a lot of things that's going to have to be immediately remedied right when, you know, the new administration takes office in January. What is your first priority when you go into this new year, into this new administration? What are you going to first tackle? Yeah, well, step one for me is to get together with the president's team and he's got a great team in place now. They're adding to it already. And I

I want to make sure at the outset that I understand 100% what the president's agenda is. He wants to get done. Right now, I was putting cabinet secretaries in place. And the president is the one that was elected. His administration should be delivering on his policies. For my part, the idea is that I'll bring to the table for those discussions is first and foremost is tech censorship. We've been living through an unprecedented surge in censorship the last couple of years. I've described it as a censorship cartel.

There's many, many actors that are involved there. and there's a role for the FCC to play. The second is media. Jeff Bezos himself just did an op-ed where he said trust in journalists and in the media business in general is at an all-time low. He said that something has to change there.

I think he's right. I think the FCC can be supportive as the legacy media tries to make a shift and regain some trust. And then third, it's just unleashing economic opportunity. We need to get going on permitting reform. We need to free up more spectrum. And critically, we have to unleash America's face economy

Rather than chapping at Elon Musk and Starlink and hopefully soon, Amazon's Project Kuiper, let's let those guys go. It's great for the country. We've got a chance to build again and some really good things are going to happen. And that's exciting. I know you were there at Starbase and you got to watch that historic moment, the rock, or the, yeah, the rocket, which was crazy. I mean, just to watch how the ease that this thing lands and you got a front row view of it,

that was pretty amazing. And that's, you know, we have that capability with our technology. The crazy thing is, is the thing that's hampering us as it relates to, you know, communications, you know, information distribution, as you and I've talked about many times, is the overwhelming bias and the suppression of diverse viewpoints. I know that you've been, you were addressing the 60 minutes editing of the Kamala Harris interview, which was really, that was so incredibly irresponsible. I went to J school. You know, I know what you're supposed to do and what you're not supposed to do. there's a difference between being in commentary and op-ed and this. And could this affect, and you kind of talked about this, the Paramount Skydance merger,

how does what they did with 60 minutes factor into when you're looking at this merger and you're making a decision, how do you take that into consideration? Yeah, it can affect it. So as you indicated, there is already a news distortion complaint that's been filed at the FCC on this precise issue of the. editing of this transcript. My sense is that it's very likely that that issue and that complaint will be part of the FCC's review, as you indicated, in order for this transaction to take place, CBS needs FCC approval to make this transaction. We have to find that it's in

the public interest. And I think that will be likely part of the discussion. A lot of people have focused on the fact that, you know, broadcasters have these licenses and up to now, everyone has treated them like there's some sort of sacred cows. The reality is a broadcast license is not a sacred cow. You have an obligation to operate in the public interest. The FCC hasn't really taken any action on that front in a very long time, but I think we need to reinvigorate that. I think that'd be a good thing. Yeah, it's wild that they go after Elon Musk and they try to act as though him trying to peel back the layers, the algorithmic censorship is somehow bad, but this is good, and this is acceptable. And that's the other thing that you've been looking at was the collusion with

these tech agencies with the federal government. Is there any accountability to be had there? Or are we just going to focus on, you know, going forward and making sure it doesn't happen again. Because, you know, there are some people who want a reckoning with all of that. I hope there's some accountability here. For my part, when I think about what I call the censorship cartel, it's got a number of components. First of all, it's just social media companies acting on their own, deciding to censor Americans. That's not good in my view. Second, you had the Biden-Harris administration pressuring them to censor. Third, yet this whole industry of so-called back checkers that are really just, in the main left-wing narrative checkers.

You've got four of these ad agencies and marketing agencies that are coordinating boycotts. You've got governments like Europe. So I did an initial letter just about a week ago to one component of this, this entity called NewsGuard that holds itself out as the arbiter of Internet Truth. And they have on their board of advisors, one of the people that signed the Hunter Biden is Russia disinformation letter that itself spawned a lot of misinformation down the road. And so companies only get these special, we call Section 230 protections, if they engage as relevant here in good faith conduct and is relying on something like NewsGuard, really good faith. I don't know. So I think people that are continuing to do that are putting their Section 230 liability pretty seriously at risk. There's a lot the FCC can do on these issues. Yeah, that's a really good point. We're talking to Brenton Carr with the FCC. You know, we were just talking just a minute ago about the 60 Minutes thing and Paramount Skydance. I noticed that MSNBC or Comcast, rather, they're restructuring everything that they're doing.

And it almost seems like it was in response to the election and to you now being the head of the commission. And then, of course, everything that they watched happened with 60 minutes and this whole thing with Paramount and their merger. does that I'm just curious as to your thoughts on that because it looks like they're trying to do like a spinoff and they're separating their cable programming from everything else that they're doing so that they can I guess get in a better position for some deal making what are your thoughts yeah I saw I've obviously seen that I have some familiarity with it I'm not sure if that's a response to the election or not I do know that there's been some media outlet that have said put put me in the FCC apart that they've reached the conclusion that just as a business matter the status quo isn't working and they're realizing they need to do something different. I mean, this was really the podcast election. Legacy media is sort of declining in influence. And I think they're rightly doing a little bit of reflection right now, but how do they stay relevant in the conversation? I hope they do, because having a broadcast license is a special privilege. It comes with certain obligations. We need a robust news media industry, not just conservative, not just liberal. We need people being curious and asking questions, and I don't think we've been there.

So I do hope they continue to have these discussions about the best way forward, the best way to serve the public interest, which is the standard under the Communications Act. Yeah, one of the things that Doge, the Department of, they're looking at the, of government efficiency with Musk and Ramoswamy, they've said that they're looking at everything, cutting the budget from a number of different issues to maybe even the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which, of course, that was one of the first entities that came out and said, oh, the Hunter Biden laptop, that's just a not, that's an irrelevant story. We're not going to report on that.

Of course, after all the information came out, they said they didn't want to touch it. they said that that could be something that could come up in terms of cutting costs because it's a lot of money that goes to it and it is very clearly biased. Yeah, this is something that people have expressed a lot of concern about over the years and in the main, the funding, for instance, of that likely is a decision for Congress. But I understand the frustration from people that feel like why are they being compelled by the government to subsidize speech that, you know, they don't want to align themselves with. Other ideas that I've seen that's been floated recently is whether the FCC should ban advertisements on broadcast for Big Pharma products. There's some precedent for that. So back in 1970, President Nixon signed a law that prohibited cigarette advertising. The FCC has been enforcing that.

So on that big pharma advertising idea, my initial gut is we need a two-step like that, which is whether it's either HHS maybe makes a decision or Congress makes a decision, but then the FCC could come behind it and take some action as well. So that is a possibility because I know that's one thing that the incoming, well, the nominee for HHS had said and other people beyond RFK Jr. talking about those big pharma ads on TV because you bring that up and that is interesting. Because you don't see any of these other ads for like cigarettes or liquor or things like that on broadcast. But you see, I mean, big pharma is almost all of it. And there's a lot of questions, you know, about that that arose during the pandemic. So that is, you think that that is at least a very high likelihood that that's something you're examining. Yeah, again, I think it probably requires that two-step where Congress passes a law or maybe

HHS can do it, but there is precedent where that happens and the ecstasy enforces it. You know, look, my own personal opinion, I think we're just way, way too over-medicated as a country. And it's an odd situation where both sort of in a worse spot than ever before in terms of mental health. And yet somehow are having more pharma ads than ever before. So something's not lining up. I mean, look, maybe if I need to figure out how to throw a tight spiral through a rope swing or figure out a good location to put a hot tub over a cliff, then maybe those big pharma ads would come in handy, but otherwise I'm very open-minded.

There you go. Well, we're so excited about this. And like we said, I mean, congratulations. It's so well-deserved. You are such a refreshing voice of reason and consistency. And I mean, that's like an early Christmas present, the fact that we're one of the very few government officials that we get very excited about and we actually like. So thank you so much for being consistent and for fighting for free speech and accountability. We are very grateful. Brendan Carr, FCC. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks so much. Really appreciate great. Great to be with you again. Happy Thanksgiving. Thank you. subscribe to the Dana Show podcast because who says you can't make fun of people while staying informed on your own personal time subscribe on YouTube Apple or wherever you get your podcast we are a week out from Thanksgiving and TSA is expecting a potentially record-breaking holiday travel season if recent experiences any guide

these will likely be some of the busiest travel days in U.S. history well he's such a moron he's like MIA for everything else, but then on something obvious. He's like, okay, guys, it's Thanksgiving. And people are going to be eating the turkey and they're going to be traveling. And it's going to be a lot of traveling and a lot of triptophan and turkey eating, you know, and very important to have a press conference about this to make it look like I'm doing something when I've been sitting on my edible snakes this entire time and not really doing anything. Think about it. Whenever, like when you needed to hear from him with the supply chain stuff, where was he? Where they at though? Where they at? I don't know. Where was he? Where was he? I don't know. Nobody knows where he was. Oh, wait. He had birthed a baby.

Oh, did he? Did he birthed it? Well, he was sitting on a hospital bed holding his baby. I mean, it was the photo op that suggested. You know, I don't know. Was he the chess feeder or the birther? I think he's both. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know how.

I'm just, I don't know what women are. I can't believe after four years of him as transposed secretary. We still don't even know. But think about it. He was on maternity leave, remember? And all hell was breaking loose. and you're getting ready to they had a backup at the ports

and they couldn't get a hold of him. Paternity leave. He was on How dare you, Cairn? How dare you, Cairnity? How dare you? Gave brought to a baby. It's the, for Cronnello,

show some respect to the former mayor rear vice admiral of the canoe fleet at Camp Wimby Tonka. For the love. I'm going to miss that guy when he leaves.

I feel like Peter Vankman. I'm going to miss him. It was quite a resume he had. I'm going to miss not knowing what the hell he does all day. Right. What does he do? I never know what he's doing. Bridges are racist. What? Bridges are racist. Yeah. And I think that's what we've learned. I am a bridge. I don't know. Just that's what we've learned. That's what we've learned. That's actually video. It's called don't be racist. I'm a building. My kids played it all the time. And I'm like, what am I hearing? Yeah. Yeah. He thought, remember he dawned to the hard hat and he goes out there and he looks

He over, does nothing. I didn't even think he could lift a shovel. Goes out there and he just looks at stuff, Bob the builder. And yeah, he was saying that, what is it? Construction's racist. Bridges are racist. Like roads. Generally are racist.

Yeah. You know. If it's also racist, why is he white in heading up the Department of Transportation? He should move over and let a person of color have his position. He didn't do that, though. Notice he didn't. What is he going to do after this? He can't really seriously run for office again. He's kind of a joke.

He moved from Indiana. Didn't he move up to, what, Michigan? He's wherever Big Gretches. I think he's positioning himself because if Big Gretch runs, then Booty Juice can just run for her seat. See? They're trying to line themselves up. I'm telling you, it's just going to happen.

Big Gretch is going to run. You know, I'm just saying. Pete, as a governor, I could never see it. Never. Well, he was a mayor. He couldn't fill a pothole, but they had 49 buses. No. That's a fact, sir.

And, you know, he did pretend to ride a bike for a block. Do we know how many canoes were in the fleet? 13. Was it 13? Yeah. Well. So it was really a flotilla. Yeah.

You know, not like a naval fleet proper. It was more like a local flotilla. But, you know, it counts. It's a waterway that's transportation. You know, I'm telling you. So, yeah, I don't know what some of these cats are going to do. I'm going to miss them. I'm going to miss just getting there.

Getting their sound bites every single day. So the DA, Alvin Braggs, his assistant got robbed. Audio Sunby 10 by Venezuelan gang member. A smiling, Brandon Samosa being led out of the Midtown South Precinct on West 30 5th Street this morning. Police say at about 2 a.m. Sunday, he robbed a 38-year-old woman in the hallway of her Hell's Kitchen apartment building. He allegedly grabbed her purse, cell phone, and bank cards, and also performed a lewd act. The victim is a Manhattan assistant DA.

She was not. Wow. So that seems like that could have been prevented, Kane. That's an example of policies that you support biting you in the rear end. Yeah, literally in some instances. All right, today in stupidity. Okay. We want to do this?

I guess we'll do this. Uh-oh. I'm now worried about what we're doing. Well, I just think it's dumb. This is cut five, by the way, Juan. You know, the ICC had put out the arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu. I mean, this world is so bad, backwards. Trudeau says he'd arrest Netanyahu.

This is cut five. Now that the ICC has issued warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defense minister, Joav Galland, Canadian law enforcement is obligated to arrest them should they come to Canada? Will you allow that to happen or will you step in to prevent an arrest? We are one of the founding members of the international criminal court. So there it is. Trudeau. Playing global politics. Yeah, he just, a little Castro right there. Folks, that does it for us tonight. I'll be back behind the mic with you on Monday.
