Regardless of what federal statute may exist, the supremacy law means that the Constitution
itself is the Supreme Law of the land. The Constitution itself provides Texas with a right
of self-defense in this case because the United States has abandoned its responsibility to defend
the Texas. Yeah, there you go. Governor Abbott threw down the hammer. So I don't know if you've
seen this meme, it's this little kid in a Chewbacca costume, and it looks like it was taken,
like in the 80s at some point, early 80s maybe, it's like all golden. And he's standing
in the middle of a living room. It's a brown shag carpet. He's in this little, you know,
not totally movie quality little kids, Chewbacca costume. And he's got his arms extended on
either side, and the caption, just come at me, bro. And that's, that perfectly describes this
moment right now. I went the long way, but we brought the tugboat ashore. Welcome to the
program, Dana Lash here with you at the top of this very first hour,
broadcasting in Las Vegas at Shot Show.
And we got a packed show.
Golly, it's a pack show.
It was a packed show yesterday.
Today's crazy.
I don't know who it's like somebody who's dropping from the ceiling.
I honestly have no idea what's going on.
Like Tim Kennedy, I think is coming up later on in this hour.
But he literally could probably drop in from the ceiling like any.
I don't know.
Like he could just do.
So just, you know, you guys, if you're some commotion in the background, just ignore it.
You know, just pretend that nothing happened and we're just going to go along.
So again, you can listen across the country.
You can strain the radio program.
We got all kinds of videos Wi-Fi permitting that are getting put up right now on YouTube and Facebook.
And I got a lot of stuff up at Instagram, information about booth visits, all that good jazz if you're here at Shot Listening, which apparently a lot of you, according to yesterday, told me you were.
All right.
So Greg Abbott has thrown the hammer down at the border.
He says that Texas has the right to defend itself.
He also said, he's like, look, this is an invasion.
And he's not wrong.
You had in the month of December, and I throw the staff.
out it's just crazy to me but you had 200 actually was over 200 wasn't it it sorry
two hundred and ninety something plus thousand absolute thousand people who crossed illegally
and so abbot's like you know no we're not going to do this so what he's doing he says leah
this is uh we're going to throw down and he called it an invasion and he's right because it is so he
released this statement that excoriated the administration. He says Biden violated his oath to faithfully
execute immigration laws enacted by Congress. He said he's going to use the right of self-defense to
protect Texas from what he says is the invasion. And it is deepening a, it's not deepening.
It's a response to a road that has been deepened by this administration because Texas,
we have other border states that have gone through it, but Texas right now is bearing the brunt of it.
we have the busiest crossing points in the nation.
And the busiest is at Eagle Pass alone, where the week before Christmas you saw over 22,000 people enter just at Eagle Pass, just the week, singular week before Christmas.
And so Abbott said in his statement, he says the executive branch of the United States has a constitutional duty, blah, blah, blah.
And he said, Biden, quote, and this is what he said.
he accused Biden of instructing his agencies to ignore federal statutes that mandate the detention
of illegal immigrants. He says that you're wasting taxpayer dollars. You're allowing these people
on mass patrol right into their parole right into the U.S. And he said that there were other
visionaries who foresaw that the U.S. should not be left to the mercy of a lawless president who
doesn't do a single thing to stop external threats like cartels, smuggling, you know, millions of
people right across the border. And so he says that's why we have, we have, we have a lot of
Article 4, subsection 4, which promises the federal government shall protect each state against invasion.
And he says Article 1, subsection 10, clause 3, which acknowledges that the state's sovereign interest in protecting their border.
So he is affirming his right to exercise his defensive duty and obligation to Texas citizens as per the statutes, as per constitutional law.
And he says that, so he is invoking the constitutional authority of Texas to defend and protect itself.
And so you have the Texas National Guard, you have DPS, which is public safety.
Other Texas personnel are acting on that authority to secure the border.
Now, when he hasn't actually laid out a list of plans that he, you know, things that he wants to,
because if you were to ask, okay, well, what, what do you mean?
What necessarily are steps are you going to take in order, you know, to have Texas to protect itself?
But, I mean, I'm sure we're going to be seeing that here in the days to come.
but this is, this is, I mean, it's, it is, I mean, he has every right to.
And it is, and it is absolutely within his authority to do so.
I mean, and you've seen Democrats like Henry Quay are and other people within the administration,
work with the press.
And they really, just like they lied over the horse reins story.
So too have they lied over the migrant drowning story?
Remember that?
And they were using that as a way to try to pressure,
lawmakers into going along with that big spending plan so when they could get open borders,
they could expand that. And it doesn't look like it. That was the whole Shelby Park fight.
So they said that they are going to, they're going to be arresting people. There was already
the resolution which was passed, which Texas is going to be arresting people charging them with
criminal trespass. And so that's, I mean, this is, you know, this is all, these are all, it's,
it's pretty wild. I mean, you had within this, the whole razor wire fight, you have ranchers
down at the border. They were offering to get, they were, they were being offered razor wire
to put on their property because the federal government was saying, no, no, no, we just got to,
we just got to be able to make sure all these people are coming in illegally. It's just insane.
It's insane that it even has to go this far. It is insane, but you know what? They're going to
hold the line on it. Now, congressional Democrats have called for Biden.
to take control of Texas with the Texas National Guard.
Because Biden, after Abbott had tweeted this,
you had other lawmakers who were tweeting the saying
that they were going to urge the administration to do this.
So he, and Abbott reaffirmed, we're building the border wall.
We're putting up razor wire.
We got the marine barriers.
We're doing all this stuff.
He had a big statement.
And he said that he's, you know, declare the invasion.
I gave you the statutes on that.
Now, he's, Biden is,
his dereliction of duty is creating a constitutional crisis.
Because Texas is forced to not only assume the burden entirely of this dereliction of duty,
but now you have this antagonistic behavior from the administration towards Texas because they're forcing Texas in a difficult spot.
I mean, let's not forget that they've been trying to push the remain in Texas stuff.
They've been trying to make it to where the governor can't move anybody.
you know, they can't do any of it.
Now, I want you, we played Abbott's response, and I want to play what provoked this,
because this was, he had KJP, who was accusing him of invoking, what did she say, cruel policies,
that was her verbatim, which she was saying cruel policies.
This was Abbott's response to all of that.
Audio sound like 17.
She has already been called out, and the president and other Democrats and media.
They have cast a false narrative about some people dying on the border that apparently Texas denied Border Patrol access to has been completely debunked.
The only thing that the spokesperson for Biden can do is to cast aspersions and lies, hoping that people will believe them.
Because the truth of the matter is what Texas is doing is what Americans expect to be done.
Exactly.
And Americans, this is, I mean, it's insurmount.
saying that's even gone this far. So this is, these are, I mean, these are huge, huge moves here,
but they have, they've created a constitutional crisis. The administration has. I mean,
it's an absolute constitutional crisis. And so if the federal government isn't going to do this,
I mean, clearly, I mean, somebody's got to do this. Somebody has to do it. And whether it's, you know,
And I remember going back to Arizona with Jan Brewer under Obama Biden.
Golly, what a fight that was.
An absolute fight.
And so that's, you know, the whole, that's the whole nature of it.
That's the whole state.
That's the whole state of things.
So we're going to follow all of that.
We're going to get into all of that.
And the statement is, we got to have some other audio of it as well.
because we also, with the White House press available today, et cetera, et cetera.
So anyway, we've got Democrats looking to force to try to force the movement on that.
If Biden tries to take over the Texas National Guard, can you imagine?
I don't think that's going to go well.
We were talking about this on air.
You don't even have to deploy any of those taxpayer-funded services.
You've got a lot of people in Texas who are more than happy to go and protect their border against cartel invasion.
And it's a cartel-organized invasion.
Let's not forget this.
It is a cartel organized invasion.
And that's there, there are no lie to that.
So I, you know, I, like I said, this is, and it could also be the federal government trying to, you know, could be a bait too.
I don't know.
There's like a lot of things to consider here.
But we're going to, we're going to follow all of that and bring you all the latest with it as well.
Now, a couple of other things, because we're following the border.
We're also looking at the latest of 2024.
there was a huge donor who left the Haley camp and looks like he's withdrawing ahead of South Carolina.
But I don't think that that's enough yet.
I don't think that one big donor bailing is, you know, quite honestly enough yet for the rest of them.
But the landscape going into 2024, she really doesn't have much of a shot.
Now, I will say one of the things that Trump said yesterday is he went out.
Where's this at? I don't have my giant four and a half foot screen, so I'm super, super spoiled.
He went out yesterday and he had said, because this one super pack, there's a big donor,
there's another super pack that ended up actually directing some more money towards her.
But Trump had said that people, what was it, that people who are donating to Nikki Haley,
he says, are out of Macca and they cannot return to Macca.
Now, I think that you need to persuade as many as people as possible and don't put any kind of hurdles in front of you.
That's kind of how I look at it.
Now, there are granted, there are going to be some people who just never are never going to come over and never, they're just going to, they're going to do what they're going to do.
And for them, it is as much about personality as they say it is for Trump's most ardent backers.
And that's the pure irony of all of this.
and so the he's he needs to and he needs to be careful because his base loves it when he gets all riled up and he goes on rants on social media
they love it but now we're going I mean technically the general starts when everything has been whittled down
and it looks pretty obvious and at that point you've got to start pulling some of your punches
it's not that you're changing your position or compromising anything in order to try to
to attract people who are more middle of the road, but rather what you're doing is trying
to make your positions more popular and increase your amiability, make yourself more likable
to these people simply by just being pleasant.
And don't do this stuff that the left jumps on and uses as a further wedge to go after
the Big Ten Coalition.
Now that's strategy.
That's not weakness and it's not capitulation.
It's called strategy.
And strategy is strength.
Good strategy is a sign of smarts.
And so people who want to win are going to implement both of these things.
They want to check both of these boxes.

And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick Five.
So John Stewart is returning to the Daily Show weekly, but it's only for the duration of the election cycle.
came yesterday from, I think it was Deadline
Hollywood. He's returning on February
12th. He's only going to host Monday nights
leading up to the election. I'm wondering
what that's going to do. I think the ratings have been
suffering. They really have since he left. So
we'll see what this. We'll see what happens here.
This was also crazy. Another
Boeing 757 accident.
Well, kind of an accident. The passenger
jet that was awaiting takeoff, the nose wheel
just straight up fell off. From
the Guardian, Delta Airlines jet was due
to depart from Atlanta. This is like the second
time from out of Atlanta's
Jacksonfield, yeah.
It just legit fell off.
They said nobody was hurt, 184 passengers, six crew members, but according to a preliminary
FAA notice, they said the incident took place on Saturday.
They said the aircraft was lining up, just waiting for takeoff when the, quote,
nose wheel came off and rolled down the hill.
Rolled down the hill.
Passengers saw it.
And they told air traffic control, they're like, yeah, we've got a problem here.
Our nose wheels off.
so they had to take them out of, take them off the tar.
This is wild, wild story.
Let's see here. American Airlines, they had to turn their flight around due to, this is like
such a, like a 12-year-old me, like, super excited about this headline.
Excessive flatulants because of a passenger on an AA flight.
They literally had to turn it around.
It happened from Phoenix to Austin.
I want to know if it was somebody from Austin going back or not because that would explain
some things, you know, keep Austin weird and all that.
But they said that the guy was, they think he was hung over, but, but, you know,
but it was excessive, and they think that he was hung over.
And then he apparently was bragging about it to other passengers.
When a woman said he was rude, he responded, according to other witnesses, quote,
you thought that was rude?
Well, how about this?
And then proceeded to demonstrate.
Yeah.
So they actually had to turn the flight around.
Can you imagine having your flight turned around because you got a passenger like that?
I think I'd beat him to death, like on the actual plane.
I think that probably would happen.
Yeah, Microsoft hits the $3 trillion market cap.
They're doing better than we are.
Microsoft's doing better than the rest of the country.
They traded about $404 a share on Wednesday, crossing the $3 trillion valuation.
It's the second company ever to hit that mark joining Apple.
Two American companies, I will say, American-based companies.
So there's something, you know, we can brag about that.
We're first in that still.
But their bottom line is better than our bottom line.
They climbed to 1.3% to hit 4-4 share on Wednesday.
And so now, like I said, they join Apple.
Also, this police are investigating a mystery after six people were found dead in the desert near California Highway.
I'm not going to say a cartel or anything like that, but it could be.
You never know.
They said San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department found the bodies off by Highway 395 in a small desert community.
And they said that it was near El Mirage, and they're still investigating, taking tips as well.
All right, so coming up, our friend Tim Kennedy, you know him, Ranger, Snipers, Special Forces, unapologetically American UFC.
See, he's going to join us.
We've got a lot of things to hit.

Looking for the drive-through version of the Dana show? Check out the best highlights from
every show and Dana's absurd truth podcast posted daily from the Dana show we want to make sure we
get something done at the border that's why we've been having these conversation with senate
republicans and democrats for the past several weeks to come up with a bipartisan agreement to deal with
the border and look if that the governor is not interested in that governor abbott is not interested in that
he wants to politicize an issue and he's not helping communities he actually isn't and he's actually
putting border patrol agents in harm's way by doing what he's doing.
So Corrine Jean-Pierre says in that soundbite that Governor Abbott is not doing anything to help
border patrol agents that he's actually putting them in harm's way and he's not doing
anything to help the community, which is wild to me, considering that it's the federal policies
that created the end. We have 9,000, $290,000 just in December alone. What did it, what was the
week? The week before Christmas? What was it at Eagle Pass? Just the week? No, no, no, no, almost
300,000. No, no, no, just the week
right before Christmas at Eagle Pass.
You're absolutely right. Yeah, I had to, like, I have to go
to Kane sometimes as my numbers repository.
Welcome back to the program, Dana last year with you.
Bottom of this first hour broadcasting
from Las Vegas shot show 2024.
Joining me right now, my very good friend, Tim Kennedy.
You guys know him from everywhere. He's hunted
Hitler. He's like done, he's done some crazy, dangerous things.
I don't even know how you get insured, but, you know,
it happens. Very compelling television.
That's actually a sensitive subject right now.
Oh, I did not even mean to like bring it up.
I'm so sorry.
Drop by our insurance.
But that was actually for political reasons.
You know, there's only so many insurance carriers that...
Wait, wait, wait.
You mean for political reasons and not because you're like doing super dangerous activities?
They were more concerned about like the Second Amendment stuff than me being in Israel or Ukraine or Afghanistan or the border.
Like how messed up are you when you're like turning away money just because you disagree with somebody?
Yeah.
It's so pathetic.
That doesn't, that does not, that doesn't make any sense.
No, it doesn't.
It's sad.
I wonder, you're a Texas resident.
You're a Texan.
Yeah.
Yeah, a proud Texan.
Why'd you say it like, ooh?
No, he's like, hey, okay, okay.
I struggle with that.
It's a hard draw.
It's not, it's different from everywhere else.
I can't get it.
I was in the Carolinas for 10 years and you can get the Carolinas down pretty fast.
I heard it just a little bit right there.
But the Texas one is hard.
It's hard.
And it does it come out all the time.
It's like every now and then there's certain words, you're like, oh, that sounds
suspiciously Texan. But you're, you know, you're Texan. And this, I mean, it seems like,
I don't know, like we're kind of in, you know, a brawl with the federal government right now
after, especially after this statement that Abbott released. What's your thoughts on this?
Yeah, it's really sad. You know, the first, the immigrants that are trying to cross are being
caught in this crossfire. And there are bad actors, you know, just a couple of days ago,
a video emerged of a man at the border that was bragging about everybody's going to know my name.
I saw that and that guy was actually what was it confirmed that he was an actual like convicted
terrorist who spent time in jail for tourism so uh well the facial recognition gives you a percentage
of likelihood of who this person is so when you get like over 70 percent you're it's pretty
probable that it is that guy and uh you have to take a screen capture of the video and then import
it into these facial facial recognition softwares and um and AI always
saying that it's 84% that guy. Wow. So like really, really probable that this convicted terrorist
that spent time for terrorism was illegally crossing the border into America and bragging to the
news about what he's going to do in America and how everybody's going to know his name. And it's,
we're in a really scary time right now. It's a humanitarian crisis down there. I spent six months
on the border. And Texas is doing what Texas is supposed to be doing. And I'm, I'm, I'm
America should be doing, which is having a sovereign border, having a closed border, and then making
people go through the appropriate legal process of entering this country, I'm white.
My family is an immigrant into the United States, but my family immigrated here through the laws
and the requirements of the time.
I get it.
We have a broken system.
But every when you're in the hundreds of thousands of people coming across as asylum seekers
and they're all military aged men from countries that are our enemies, we have a problem.
This is not an immigration problem. This is an invasion by enemies.
And you've dealt with actual like refugees and talking with our friend Tim Kennedy
and people who actually are seeking asylum. Usually there's some women and children involved
in that mix.
Mostly.
It's not just the last. No, it's mostly women and children.
You know, if you look at the evacuation of Afghanistan, true asylum seekers, right?
A Taliban's coming across the border. They're going to be killing everybody.
If I have one guy, one man, one military-aged man, I have two or three women,
usually his wife and a sister of some form.
And then I have like six kids.
kids. That is a typical asylum-seeking family. You look at Ukraine. You go to the train station
in Kiev. As people are leaving, you see no men, because none of the men are leaving, only women
and children. You know, you go to Israel, the exact same thing, only women and children. And,
I mean, even Americans that were in Israel in October, the men were choosing to stay. Like,
these were, you know, generational Jews and Israelis. And, you know, they maybe had our
already served their two or four years.
They're sending their families back that are also American citizens.
And they are trying to volunteer as reserves.
They're trying to volunteer as police officers.
And that again would be a perfect example of even in a time of conflict and crisis,
what a refugee family looks like.
What we see at the border is the inverse of that.
It is only men and it is only military age men.
And they are not coming from these like impoverished central and South American countries.
These are not Mexicans.
These are Middle Easterners.
These are Chinese.
A lot of Chinese, yeah.
It's madness.
It's an invasion.
It's without firing a single shot.
That's right.
They're just like steamrolling into a country talking with Tim Kennedy.
That's the scary thing about this too.
And then, you know, you have border patrol.
So you have the governor's accused of cruel and inhumane policies.
The way that they speak about border patrol agents, who are predominantly Hispanic at the border,
which apparently, I guess the administration doesn't realize.
I will never forget, though, the image or the video of the.
feds going in and they were break cutting the razor wire and lifting it up and you literally could
see the coyotes working for the cartel across the river on the bank watching the feds help them
yeah that's i mean i who's getting the cut from the cartels there's a lot of money to be made
somebody's getting a cut in dc yeah the um it's it's try you know i have videos on my phone um shot
on my phone of these human traffickers that are working directly for their cartel you know
anybody that is is happy to deal in human suffering uh whether it's going to be human trafficking um sex
They'll also be selling drugs and guns and they'll be smuggling bio weapons across the border any form of human suffering that is a product
Somebody that deals in that was deal in anything that they can profit on and these cartels are whatever the best product is and most profitable product are the ones that they're doing and right now that is fentanyl and people and and we are literally assisting the cartels in
in financing operations that support
obviously drugs and weapons and bio-weapons.
Our next wars are not going to be against state-on-state actors.
We are going to be fighting cartels and we're going to be finding non-government organizations.
We're going to be fighting proxies like we have been for the past three years.
We're not directly at war with Russia, but we're funding the countries that are at war with Russia
and we're sending troops in via proxy.
It's like Vietnam kind of.
100%.
And with the cartels, we're not prepared for that war as a military.
But that's the war that we're in.
because of will or because we just have strategy we don't know how to deal with it both we know
we're stuck in um we so desperately want this war war two approach to war where it's like these
gigantic maneuver elements that's old now that's so old right we want pat and be like let's go like we're
gonna beat romel right um and what we have is a 14 year old boy that was handed and was indoctrinated
at the age of eight and here we are six years later and he is a warfighter for the cartels and he's being
financed by effectively a corporation, a criminal syndicated corporation, and that is the actual
soldier. We don't have the appetite to fight a 14-year-old boy, but that is currently our enemy,
and he's the one that's smuggling. If you look at those photos and those videos, those are not,
like, you want this like grisly, charled, chiseled, gross-looking bad guy. That's not who the
coyote is. He's a 14-year-old kid with a flashlight, and it's scary that that is currently
our enemy and that is the soldier of our enemy.
And we, we do not have, we just do
not have the wherewithal
to deal with us. I wanted to ask you, because you've been talking
a lot about veteran suicides, also
just completely switching gears
here. I was actually,
there was a couple of write-ups about this because
you've been,
here at Shachar you've been talking about it.
I wanted to get,
I just remember,
you know, my grandfather, when he was in
World War II, I don't know how those guys dealt with some
of this stuff. And it feels like they were
not just from talking with him, I don't think that they were given like any decompression time
except like if they were coming back from, you know, the theater, he was all the way over
in the Pacific. And my husband's grandfather was in Normandy. He was there like to both sides of the,
we had family on both sides of the planet throughout the whole thing. Uh, multiple members of our
family. And they, it's something that they never talked with. Some of them had drinking problems,
some of them. But now it just, it sort of feels like, you know, when our soldiers come back,
they're supposed to bounce right back into shape and everything's okay and talk to me about that
because I feel like that is kind of a societal expectation that has sort of fed into some of the
problems that we're seeing.
Yeah, we have a big generational gap of purpose.
So the men that came back after the greatest generation, when they returned from war,
they became the greatest generation, not because they survived the Great Depression,
not because they beat the Nazis, not just because they beat Japan after Pearl Harbor.
You know, they stormed beaches and they climbed cliffs.
And, you know, they liberated all of the Jews in these concentration camps.
And it was actually what they did after that.
You know, in 1945, when they returned with all of the pain and all of the trauma,
they then turned America into the most powerful, profitable country to exist in human recorded history.
And they had the freedom to do it.
That's right.
So what they did, and this is just my opinion and this is my belief,
And this is the thing that we're missing.
When I have a soldier, my job as his leader is to give him purpose, direction, motivation.
The first thing is purpose.
And when those men came back, they had seen the most horrific thing that a man can do to another man, which is war at scale.
This was the first war that we learned really how to kill.
And we killed at an indescribable rate.
And those men came back.
They inhaled trauma.
They inhaled pain.
They inhaled suffering.
They inhaled sadness.
Do you know what they exhaled?
Purpose.
They came back with the divine purpose of making this the greatest nation to ever exist.
Right now our men are coming back and they lack that.
They lack direction and they lack purpose because our country is so divided and they don't know what to do.
These are the most extraordinary men 20 years at war during GWAT, 20 years of the global war on terror, Afghanistan, Iraq, North Africa.
That's right.
And they're coming back to a broken, fractured country and they don't know what they're supposed to do.
You know, and I want to beg and I want to plead, I want to implore that these men find their purpose.
And that purpose might be the best father that can be, the best entrepreneur that can be, the best employee that they can be.
But ultimately, they have to pour themselves into it.
Otherwise, we're going to continue to see these same numbers.
You know, we, of course, we can address substance abuse and, you know, sleep problems and TBIs and PTSD.
But give a man purpose and he can change the world.
You know, it takes one man to change the world.
And man, I just want these men to know that there's something fantastic and incredible about being a great American and being a great dad and go.
Yeah, there you go. God bless you.
I so appreciate what you do.
I appreciate your service and you just continue to serve.
Like you serve and you're like, oh, I'm going to stop.
Nope, nope, God bless you for that.
I have purpose.
You have purpose.
Yeah, God gave me purpose and I'm going to do it until I die.
And it's a great example for other people who are learning how to find theirs.
Other young men out there.
Thank you for everything you do.
God bless you.
Thank you so much.
Our friend Tim Kennedy, ladies and gentlemen, always appreciate it.

Back to the program, but actually towards the end of this very first hour, rolling into
the second broadcasting from Las Vegas shot show 2024.
I saw Bill Romanelli.
He's with us here behind the mic.
Now, those of you who may not be familiar with Bill Bill, Bill's with NSF, he also heads
up Project Child Safe, which is something that the firearms industry,
not get any credit for at all whatsoever because they lead safety. And I always love going back, Bill,
and first off, welcome to the program. Thank you for having me. I always love going back to this.
It was a, gosh, where was it? I want to say it was on the East Coast somewhere. And it was a mom's
demand safety thing. And I watched the leaders of that safety thing, like flag everybody and like
just talk about absolutely the wrong things that you just absolutely would not do if you're just a
responsible firearm owner. But they also like to take the lead on safety. That's not how it's done.
you actually show people how it's done. So, congrats on that.
Yeah, thanks very much. And first of all, appreciate you having a Tim Kennedy on to warm up the audience for me.
Yeah, he's a great opener and he's like great. I mean, it's, he's fantastic.
So tell us, for folks who are not, because we've talked about, we always talk about Project Child Safe every single year.
Yep, it's a great tradition. I really enjoy it. Thank you.
For everybody all across the country who listens to the show or who would watch the simulcast when we have our cameras,
or, you know, on social media, tell them if they, because not everybody, you know, we get new people every year. They may
not be familiar. You bet. Well, first of all, this is the 25th year for Project Childs. They've been doing this
for a quarter of a century now. And it is... It's all grown up. The child is all grown up. It's legal now.
It is the firearms industry's safety program. And fundamentally it comes down and we do two things.
First, we educate gun owners on all aspects of firearm safety, whether that's handling, using storage.
We really emphasize storage because the last thing we want is for a kid to pick up an unsecured gun or as gun owners, the last thing
any of us really want is to find out that our guns have been stolen, and then it turns out
used in a crime. And we know for the fact that most of the guns used in crimes are stolen guns.
So we really want to help prevent that. And then we back that up by providing free gun locks
all across the country. We generally work through law enforcement agencies, but we also work
through churches, community centers, even some medical clinics, things like that, to make free
locks available all across the country. And after 25 years, we're at close to 41 million locks
distributed and counting. So you've been doing this. This has been happening for 25 years.
years, genuine, organic. And correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember the story of, I think
every town had refused any kind of collaboration or one of the groups that always talks about,
the gun control groups that always talks about gun safety, they refused any kind of collaboration
or partnership with you. Not only that, but then they went ahead and took some of our locks,
put their own stickers on them and started giving them out in their communities. So they, well,
they took Project Child Safe locks. Yes. And put their stick, one of them. One of the,
labeled them. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, wow. We're grateful for the fact that they recognize our program
works and how valuable it is, but yeah, it was quite shocking to see. Yeah, that's, well, you know what,
they got to pay for those like super, super expensive salaries for Monsanto PRs. They, I mean,
the PR people that they hire. They got to, they got to pay that. They got to pay those.
Where can people go if they, if they either want to get, you know, take advantage, like, get more
materials about the program, maybe check out, maybe just maybe get some lots or distribute them
in their area. Like, how do they, how do they, how do they,
get involved. Best thing to do is we actually have a brand new for our 25th anniversary. We unveiled a
brand new website, but it's still at projectchildsafe.org. And they can go on there. And if they're
interested in finding a lock, there's a place where they can go and they can enter their state and
their community and find out if their local law enforcement agency is a partner. And if they're not,
quite frankly, we ask them, reach out, talk to the PIO at the law enforcement agency or the
community liaison and ask them, join Project Childsave and get some free locks. There you go. That's
awesome. You do such a great job with all of this. And we're so grateful because you raise
awareness and also show that it's the it's the firearms community that has led the way in safety this
whole time and still does so we're grateful for that well and if it wasn't for voices like you
helping us get that word out as you said it would be hard to get people to know about this so thank
you and i've heard from a lot of people like yeah we've loved it we got some a lot for child
from project child's like usually through law enforcement in their area like they do like a safety
you know event for the community or something like that and and so that's i mean i've heard from
people all across the country who've said that so great that's an awesome thing bill romanelli
with Project Childsafe.
Projectchildsafe.org is the website.
Folks, you can go check it out there.
Bill, God bless you.
I appreciate you.
You too.
Thank you.
All right.
We have another hour on the way.
Stay with us.
The one time when people don't get upset over mansplaining is when all these
skincare companies started using dudes to try to sell women, women's skin care products.
And then try to act like it was one and the same.
And women should just stop complaining about it because, you know, they know what's best.
Women have different needs from dudes.
And women even have different needs from other women, depending on what stage they are in their lives.
Nimi's skincare understands that.
And any skincare company should.
This is why they were created.
And so with Nimi's skincare, first off, this is a company that uses USA ingredients made in the USA ingredients.
They're made in the USA.
No parabens, none of those horrible, ridiculous, harsh artificial synthetic chemicals.
And they don't test on animals either.
But they are all about making sure that you have what you need to have healthy skin.
So they have introduced two new routines.
their wake-up bright routine where you can give your skin a morning boost of vitamin C and peptides,
and then they have their bedtime moisturizing routine. This is great, especially when it's going to be
like seven degrees here in Texas, for example, because it's ultra-hydrating. It's going to replenish
your skin, keep you moisturized while you sleep, and it's packed with soothing, restorative
ingredients. And your skin will thank you for this. And like I said, they share your values,
but they also understand and celebrate that women are different and women need different things.
Nemea Skincare products are 100% guaranteed.
So take the guesswork out of your routine with NemeSkincare.

Corporate America found the cheapest labor in the world and they sent the jobs to those laborers
and sent the product back to us.
But not anymore.
We're building product care and shipping it overseas.
Buy America and build America.
I mean it.
And what's really important, you made sure the auto future of the world will be made in America.
We have, why is he yelling?
Like, I mean, so, so you guys understand.
So when we have, like, our audio levels, you know, you know, professional radio stuff, you know,
we check our audio levels, all that jazz, why, why is he, like, now, like, screaming?
And, I mean, we, we both flinched because it was so hot in the ear.
He was, he was out of nowhere, starts just,
randomly screaming about American, I don't know, American products.
The two of these, the him, tweedled in tweedled dumb here in the past, like, couple of days
with their interviews and their speeches is truly a sight to behold.
It's pretty amazing, like in a scary but also humorous way.
Welcome back to the program.
Dana Lash with you.
Top of this second hour.
Yeah, so he's just randomly screaming about building products in America.
you know, he's, that's, you know, and it, well, and then audio somebody, one, he's honest about what is happening.
I mean, you know, here he is, being honest about, you know, I mean, it's why people are nervous about it.
You don't need to yell, man.
We're fundamentally changing the economy in this country.
And everybody's getting a little worried about it.
Yeah, because fundamentally changing the economy, the country means you're making everybody broke with Biden inflation, et cetera.
In the meantime, looking over at the VP of side of things, she was on,
What show was she on? It was NBC something, wasn't it? She was on with Katie Couric.
Katie Kirk. She was on with Katie Couric. And it was a really weird interview.
I don't even know where to start with us. First off, let's start with eight.
Because this, this, this is this whole thing is crazy. Listen to this discussion about the border.
Early on, I know you were tasked with understanding the root causes of the immigration crisis,
but you are not in charge of the border, which I think is important to point out.
having said that
14 House Democrats joined
Republicans and denounced
But you're not in charge of the border
Wait a minute, she was the border czar
She was the border czar
They made her, cane, they made her border
Tsar
They sure have been
Um
So I guess being a czar means you're not in charge of stuff
Yeah, I just thought that
I mean when you're, I thought a czar meant that
Like you're, that's okay, you're in charge of those
yeah that's like so weird that she's that she wouldn't be uh now she was the border but katie kirk
is oh well you know we're i think it's important to point out madam vice president that you're
not in charge of the border i mean you're just the vice president and all way to play down her
role you sexist isn't that what they would say because then she went from that to audio sound
bite seven this is what i'm saying like then she then she played like why would you minimize your vice
President of the United States and then say this like in the next breath.
Meanwhile, why did I think you were much taller?
I recently learned you're only five two.
Is that true?
That is absolutely incorrect.
Okay.
I am 5.4 and a quarter.
Okay.
I'm 5.4 and a half and with heels, which I always run 5.7 and a half.
Thank you very much.
Okay, Wikipedia, you're wrong and we need to correct that.
I've said this to my team, like what, I don't know where it came from.
I was 5.2 when I was 12.
They say I'm 5'1 on my Wikipedia page.
How tall are you?
5.3 and 3 quarters.
Right?
Oh, geez.
And shrinking.
It's like literally, they just want to just make a smaller in every way.
I know.
But I'm like when you say, oh, well, you're not in charge of the border.
I mean, you're only vice president of the United States and you're the borders are and everything, but we know you're not charged of the border.
I mean, like right when they say that, right?
Same thing.
Yeah, making her smaller.
Making her responsibility smaller.
But guys, you know, if you're not, you know, if you're not charge of the border, you know,
you think if you think that you know Joe Biden and Kamala Harris you know if you're if you're
having a problem with all of this and you you think that they're just super unpopular
well audio sound by four Kamala Harris explains to Katie Kirk why they're so
unpopular listen so you're right we have a lot of accomplishments and I think what
the American people want most in their leaders is that we actually get things
done and we have done it we haven't taken adequate credit for it what
frankly, and we got to do a better job of getting the word out about what we have accomplished.
And who did it?
What?
What?
Who did it?
Who did what?
You mean brung it?
Who brung it to them?
That's right.
We just, we haven't taken adequate credit.
I mean, that's why we're so unpopular.
Because we just haven't taken credit.
So you mean that people are out and join all these, like, low prices and no inflation and what else?
what else I'm thinking of?
Oh,
secure border and,
you know,
all these amazing,
yeah,
all these.
Cheap mortgage rates.
Ooh,
that's a good one.
And it's because they,
the reason people are unhappy is because Biden and Harris haven't taken credit.
Okay.
Was it Hunter's cocaine in the White House,
or was it hers?
Whose was it?
Because you have to be high to think this.
Audio sound by three.
Oh, wait,
there's the more.
I've never seen anybody so unaware of self in person, ever.
Audio sound by three.
This one's a doozy.
Love it.
We have historic accomplishments in terms of the economy,
what we've done to move forward.
Science, technology, and investment in the American workforce,
growing the American workforce, rising wages, bringing down prices.
Historic work has happened, no question.
What?
It is incumbent on us to, like,
let people know who brung it to them.
Did she say it again?
Who told her that was a good idea?
I mean, it's, girl, who told you?
You know, I mean, they just, it's just the American people that need to know who done brung it to them is right.
That's all it is.
She needs to unburden ourselves from that damn line.
She needs to unburden herself with like purposeful bad grammar.
Like, why? Why? I don't get it.
Maybe use a Venn diagram because you love them.
I don't know.
The claim that it's, well, it's, you know,
it's super historic accomplishments.
Where does she getting the rising wages and low prices from?
That has spoken like someone who is so boozy,
they don't do their own shopping.
Girlfriend could not even tell you how much a pound of hamburger costs.
I bet she could not.
She could not tell you the average everyday prices of things in the supermarket.
She has no idea.
These people are unaffected by their own policies.
That is the height of booge.
that is super booge they are unaffected by their own policies everyone else is going broke
dealing with high interest rates inflation all of it that is historic no yeah you're okay so she is
historic okay give her that Craig Kane give her that little go ahead and put that little tally mark
up on her board ooh yeah historic accomplishment good night yeah very historic yeah it's much
accomplish. It's
a super, it's just because they haven't
taken credit for who brung it.
Maybe she should go on a who brung it
tour, right?
That would go over well.
I highly encourage her to do that. Go around
and you know what? Go to like
Arkansas. Go to like a Walmart in Arkansas,
super Walmart in Arkansas. And then, you know, stand by
the high price, the eggs, you know,
and make sure everybody can see the price tag
and the double valuation of just a dozen
eggs and and and and make sure that you know you you tell people who brung that oh hi we brung that
i just stand there at the checkout line just stand at the checkout line while you see people like
trying to use coupons because everything they can't afford anything yeah we brung that mm we
brung it it's the brung it tour of 2024 we brung that you know what with that meme when she
called joe and she was like oh we did it joe now she can say uh we brung it joe we brung it
why is she saying these why is who told her that this was just stop just stop just stop so the uh weird
i don't know this administration and and i i he's not i mean we've got his him screaming about
building stuff in america and everybody getting worried about he just he looks like a he seems like a
guy who had almost a catastrophic stroke and he's recovering and he can't put two and two together
john fetterman is better put together than joe biden john federman is better put together than joe biden john
had a stroke and they're trying to act like Joe Biden hasn't. I think he did. He gets worse every
time I see. We're going to have people campaigning in the basement going into the general
election unless Nikki Haley gets our way, which I don't see that happening. Is she still in the
race still? I haven't checked the latest news. Is she still there? I mean, is she going to drop out
before? I just check it. It's been an hour since I've looked. She's losing some big donors.
Yeah, she said she gets to she's going to go home.
get her butt-whooped in her own state.
Nothing like losing badly in front of your own home team, right?
Nothing like that.
She's going to lose out on her dream of going to war with Iran.
Oh, my goodness.
No, she's going to lose out on that dream.
Well, imagine that.
She reminds me a lot of Kamala Harris in some ways.
You know what I mean?
The way they play the chick card for sure.
She is just like Kamala.
She's there.
She's the Republican Kamala.
And no, there's not going to be any of the,
other debates. Is she doing, I was looking, I don't know if she's even doing
meet and greets, I don't even know. I see some, I saw some
funny little column where they're asking whether or not it's, you know, is it,
is it actually time, are people actually leaving Nikki Haley's campaign? Because you had
establishment donor, Andy Sabin, who said that, you know, she needs to,
Nikki, Nikki Haley needs to realize it's time for her to go. She's,
yeah, she's only kind of a handful of delegates, I think, at this point behind Trump.
however
I mean
look here's the terrifying thing
crazier
stranger things have happened
in primaries
you could end up getting
somebody like a Haley
I'm wondering if all the messaging
if all the people who were saying that it was
DeSantis who was establishment
if they're not going to like modify their statements
in hindsight because all those
establishment people that weren't backing him
they're the ones keeping Haley alive
and totally bankrolling her entire campaign
I'm just wondering, just wondering.
So she's, I mean,
Trump in the polling for South Carolina,
I can't,
it's sad.
I don't even want to give numbers that.
She's getting beat so bad.
This is her state.
This is her state.
It's, I don't know what she's going to do.
I mean, I'm looking at some of the,
it's so bad, it's 52.
The RCP averages 52 to 21.
Oh, I'm not even going to tell you what Michigan looks like.
Oh, it's bad.
It's bad.
I'm not going to tell you what that looks like.
That's 61 to 13.
Or sorry, 61 to 10.
Ha, ha, ha.
Yeah, it's bad.
It's bad.
It's super bad.
There was a piece that I read,
it was over at RCP,
and I thought it was interesting.
The title is,
Nikki Haley represents a Republican Party
that doesn't exist anymore.
I think that's accurate.
what she's the type of republicanism that she's running to represent doesn't exist. It is not a type of
republicanism that's centered around you know more foreign policy, you know, more foreign conflicts,
more, it's not around that at all. It's not around the so-called big government for the sake of
betterment, which is what compassionate quote-unquote conservatism is. It's not for any of that.
So I, I, very interesting. But that's that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that,
doesn't exist.
However, you know, you still have a, I think the RNC needs, they don't understand the lay of the
land with what the Republican voter looks like, though.
They don't understand the electoral geography here, really, because I think they would be moving
to court that and accommodate it.
And now, all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick Five.
As we've said so often, guns save lives.
A Mississippi mother hid in her closet and shot a home intruder to protect her three children.
This is according to Carroll County Sheriff's office in a release statement.
They said on Monday deputies got a call from the mother's husband who was working in Greenwood.
The man told deputies that a knife-wielding man was trying to break into his home,
and he told officers that his wife and three small children were hiding in the closet.
The husband then described the suspect and the suspect's vehicle.
vehicle. When deputies arrived, the suspect 44-year-old Steve Lamar Gross Jr. had already driven away.
But before he left, he had drove his home's truck, his truck into the home's dining room after he couldn't kick the front door in.
The mother and the children were hiding in the closet. That was the family's designated safe room.
And when he found them, he was still holding the knife. And the mother shot him defending herself and her children.
He fled the scene immediately, as is statistically. That's usually what happens when they meet somebody who's
armed and good protecting themselves.
So that, yeah, he's going to have serious, serious charges brought against him.
This is an ambulance service.
This is a British headline.
Confirmed that, yes, eating too much kebab is not a valid reason to call 911.
Apparently, it was enough of a problem in Wales that they actually had an issue a statement saying, if you eat too much kebub or you eat too much this, that doesn't mean that you can call emergency.
services. They also said that a woman had called 911 because she got her hands stuck in her mailbox
and ultimately all she had to do was literally twist her wrist to get it out. I don't even want
to be paying the tax bill in that area. Pita is going to, they want to put, it's Peta for
Kronelan. They want to replace Pennsylvania's groundhog with an enormous coin, which is not
as fun. It is way more scientific to have a fat little groundhog. I mean, it's more scientific than
the COVID injections to have a groundhog predict weather.
coin going to see a shadow.
Exactly. I don't know. They say they want a coin. Punksitani
Phil. They want to replace them. You know, it's not the same Phil. You know that
things die like a million times and they've like got just like bringing new ones.
It's like it's yeah, it's not like the same. It's not like the same ground rat.
Who's New York mayor guy that dropped him?
Yeah. Oh gosh. The guy's wife left him. Yeah. De Blasio. Yeah. He like dropped the thing and
killed it all on camera. I think he threw it. Really. I think he murdered it. But that's me.
You know, anyway.
Yeah, it's way more scientific to have a groundhog predict weather than anything else.
Saudi Arabia has opened up its first ever liquor store, but it's only accessible to a certain group.
Because you can't drink over there.
You can't do anything over there.
You can't look at anybody.
You can't sigh.
You can't enjoy the way.
You can't enjoy the way.
I don't know.
You can't have fun.
You can't express joy.
I don't know.
But they said that they opened up a liquor store, but it's only accessible to non-Muslim diplomats.
And you have to be authorized through a government-approved app.
Sounds like TSA.
Just saying, all right.

some of these other blue states so talk to us about this because this lakes the
the Lake City ammo case is
It's just an it's another way for the gun control lobby and the anti-gun administration to try to do an in run around
civilians citizens second amendment rights so many different angles so many different levels thanks for having me on by the way it's great to see you again
what they're doing is and remember this all started I think with the New York Times
They found a couple shell casings in a school shooting
They created the whole narrative that came back to Lake City ammo which is a private company that we had tasked
back when I was in Congress to make more ammunition for the military so we can be ready because
they were only like doing half capacity or something like that and you know like other plans and
things you can't just turn that up and turn it down on a dime and so for national security reasons
we want them producing at full capacity well to do that that means you're going to have overage
and it's their right as a private company and it's our right as as as private individuals
for them to sell and us to buy their ammunition now they you know they make nine
millimeter they make 12 gait you know they make very common stuff in addition to the military so
these gun anti-gun lunatics I call them right on so many issues accurate right want to shut that down
and so I'm very pleased and thankful that 28 states led by their led by their attorneys general
join me in a letter telling Biden or who is ever reading Biden's mail yeah yeah
It's not him. It's not him.
Right. Yeah.
That, you know, stop and cease and desist immediately.
Now, the difference between when Congress, a bunch of senators or house people, and some of them are still friends, so I don't mean to denigrate them.
But the fact of the matter is, it's all theater up there, Dana.
Right. Right.
The needle doesn't move.
With us, the needle moves.
So the letter is a prerequisite saying, we're going to sue B.
Right.
We're going to sue if this doesn't change and change immediately.
And that's the difference in the offices.
And that's why your attorneys general are your last line of defense against these lunatics.
Yeah, absolutely.
We're talking with Indiana's Attorney General, Todd Rokita, who's been right there on the front line.
Well, I'm so glad that we have, like, very aggressive, like, attorney generals like yourself
because it's needed, whether it's, like, a situation at the border, whether it's, like, you know,
fighting back against these ridiculous, like, ammo bans or ammo restrictions.
By the way, how is this case going to, how is this going to end, do you think?
We're going to win.
Yeah.
Good. I like that answer. There's a good. It ends when we win. There you go. And we're not going to give up. And that's when, especially when the state's band together. Because the federal government can beat up on citizens. They do that all the time. They can beat up on private companies. It's hard to beat up on 28 states. Yeah. And that's a very good point. And that's the difference. And we're trying to take power back for the people. We're trying to take power back for the states as rightfully given to us under the Constitution. We forget about that. From the convention we could be having to the everything else.
And so that's what your attorneys general are about.
And it's an amazing position to be in.
And I'm glad I'm here at this time.
Yeah.
Well, we are as well.
And of course, not only is this issue, the issue with the ammo,
but the other issue you've been following very closely are these financial institutions.
It's kind of like an extension of Operation Choke Point in a way.
Because these financial institutions are going after FFLs, manufacturers,
and trying to squeeze them out of, not just the market,
but of being able to participate in the economic structure of the United States of America.
It's ridiculous. We're fighting on that. We're probably doing that state by state.
Indiana has a good set of laws that are on the books and being proposed.
That end with me finding credit card companies $10,000 an incident.
For people who don't know they've been coding.
Yeah, they've been using those merchant codes.
It's like, I mean, ultimately it's like a backdoor registry.
I mean, they're tracking.
Maybe they don't get into exactly specifically.
you know, their records show the exact type of rifle or gun that you buy, but, you know,
they, it shows it, I mean, it's kind of like a quasi-registry way to do it, really.
Right.
Right. And it's going to lead to economic development for us because we're going to be a safe place
for gun manufacturers to exist. And I'll get to the Gary suit in a minute if we have time.
Yes, yes.
We're going to correct that too. But you mentioned the border. You know, why isn't the federal
government worried about the illegal arms crossing the southern border?
Yeah. Well, I mean, they ran it in Fast and Furious, yeah.
Yeah. You know, but, you know, that's okay.
because it's the southern border
and we can't be a sovereign nation.
They don't want one.
Yeah.
And so they're going to let this go.
We were the first state, by the way,
Dana, to file a lawsuit against Biden over the border,
showing damages that we were getting from his border policies.
And we're a non-border state, obviously.
So we're the first non-border state.
But still, every state's a border state at this point.
So answer me, because I know that there is, you know,
states have 10th Amendment rights,
and I know that the federal government,
because of a Supreme Court precedent,
they can't commandeer state resources for federal.
I mean, that was like the initial fight over in the Brady bill with the background check back in the 90s.
I think it was like Prince V. U.S.
Is that an argument?
To me, that seems like an open, being not an attorney general or lawyer.
That's all right.
You have a chance to go to heaven that one.
Yeah.
I mean, that seems a little small.
That seems like an open and closed argument to make in response to the federal government.
Like you, these are your federal policies that are having a detrimental effect on our state.
We're spending our taxpayer dollars.
Our citizens are bearing the brunt of it.
No.
It seems like that should be an open and shut case.
Why isn't it?
Well, it depends on what part of the nation you're in.
Like different appellate circuits have different...
Ninth is too big.
Yeah, well, they have different rules in every way they've decided what we call standing, right?
So I can't, Dana, I just can't go into court and throw a fit.
You suck and you're terrible and this is a bad policy.
I thought this was America, sir.
I tried.
I didn't work.
I have to go in with evidence.
they have standing to show exactly how we're damaged.
In our circuit, particularly in the seventh, they have come out and said, no, you're showing
damage in terms of lost tax revenue or spending.
That's not evidence?
Nope.
That's not an evidence.
That is so arbitrary.
It is too tenuous.
It's not enough evidence for standing.
So now other parts of the nation may have a better luck.
Like we mentioned Missouri before, they're in a better circuit for that.
And so when you see, long story short, when you see states banning together, we're not just
doing it out of coincidence.
We actually talk, attorneys general generally like each other.
Yeah, I want, yeah, you guys.
We're not like governors.
We're not like senators.
And so we strategize, hey, you take this case, you have the capacity, you have the expertise,
you're in a better circuit for this kind of argument.
And so that's a little bit, well, that's a lot of the rhyme and reason to what, why one
state leads on a certain issue versus another.
That makes a lot of sense.
Yeah.
That makes a lot of sense.
We're talking with Indiana Attorney General, Todd Rook
Kita. You mentioned, okay, the Gary case. And I was actually just reading about this because this is a loss. This has been going on for quite a long time. It's ridiculous. This is like what over 25 years? Yeah. So in the 90s, you know, Gary in its heyday, and I'm from that area. Feast your eyes, by the way. I'm a conservative from Northwest Indiana. I should be in a cage on display somewhere. I mean, look, honey, it's a conservative. That's not heard of. Yeah, I know. I don't think they existed. They did. So Gary and its heyday used to be the steel capital of the world.
We make more steel still do in Indiana than any other state.
Yeah, you don't realize.
Bowerman Pennsylvania.
Yeah, they get all the attention.
And then in the 80s and 90s, Gary became the murder capital of the world.
So then Gary started suing gun manufacturers saying you're the problem, right?
The classic, you're the problem.
It's not the decline in our society.
It's not our political policies or government policies.
It's the gun manufacturers.
And that suit has been going on.
some have settled, which have, some gun manufacturers have settled over the years, which have given them
power.
Momentum.
Momentum.
Oh, we're getting revenue from this.
Now it's become a situation where the discovery process is leading the Brady folks, the Bloomberg folks, and others to go to the
Cabellas, the Walmarts of the world, eventually the Walmarts of the world and get data, get
documents.
Oh, who's buying a gun there?
And that's what the suit has turned into.
So what we want to do in the state of Indiana, my friend Chris Jeter has a great bill on it.
Hopefully it gets passed.
It has got out of the House.
It's going to go to the Senate.
And senators are senators, whether they're in a state or at the federal level, they're senators.
So I want to knock on wood.
But that should pass where we're just going to outlaw the lawsuit.
We're going to pass a statute that says this lawsuit is no longer is prohibited.
I love that.
And ones like it and just be done with it because no one needs.
this lawsuit in their lives anymore.
No, they don't.
I like that.
Just, uh, your lawsuits prohibited.
No, that's the new law is no.
Yeah.
And that's constitutional.
We can actually at this point with this kind of lawsuit do that.
That's amazing.
I, because that's the,
I understand that some companies,
they just, they kind of just want to get it over and done with.
They don't like the bad press.
But that does like you just explained.
It gives momentum to these claims from these, you know,
the gun control lobby.
And a city starving for revenue.
Yeah.
I could see that this lawsuit is a line.
item in their budget. Oh, we're expected to get so much this year from our law, so we've got to keep it going.
That's insane. That's absolutely insane. We're talking with attorney. I know. You know what?
It happens to the best of us. That's the mayor of Gary right now calling. No.
He said that was such seriousness. I was like, you know, we actually wouldn't be surprised, you know,
really right now. Even he listens to Dana. So before we wrap, because we're here at Schott
show, we got Todd Rokita, Indiana Attorney General. So what's been the biggest thing that you've been
hearing from, you know, like, like FFLs, manufacturers, you know, just American citizens that are at
Chachau trying to figure out what they're going to have in their stores and what's going to be
the next big thing.
Well, of course, everybody's holding their breath for November.
They're concerned about what you brought up with these credit card transactions.
So it's the coding.
Yeah.
And then it's the outward prohibition against these transactions.
And, you know, this is all part of a larger ESG movement.
This is part of the, you know, like just climate 100.
I mean, do you have to create like a whole separate economy or can you just like stop it the way
is now. I mean, how do we fight back against that?
We're going to stop it. I think the best, you know, you like to say, hey, just have Congress
pass a bill, but are you going to wait? Exactly.
How long do you want to wait for that? So we're going to do it state by state. And if you go
around this shot show, and I'll admit, you know, I have no schlub when it comes to the Second
Amendment. I have more guns than my wife thinks is necessary.
There's no, there's no much thing as having too many.
But this was my first shot show, and you saw a whole new economy down there. It's a, it could be,
its own economy down there. There's 14 miles of aisles. So if we have to, that's what we'll do.
Same with that climate 100 nonsense. Same with this other stuff. Milton Friedman said it real quick.
Milton Friedman said it best. The only moral obligation a company has is to make profit for its
shareholders. That's right. If the shareholders then want to go worry in their own capacity about
the climate or about guns, let them do it. Companies are just about making profit because that's
the best thing they can do for society. Exactly. That is at Todd Rokita, Attorney General of the
great state of Indiana. So good to have you here.
Good to have you. Thank you so much for your fight. We appreciate you.
It's his life mission to make bad decisions.
It's time for Florida Man.
This one's coming out of Monroe County, Florida. Florida man was taken to jail after he allegedly,
wink, got into a physical fight with another man and then stole a pint of vodka from a woman,
said deputies. He punched the other man in the face, took the ladies vodka, and tried to get
away. Billy Costner, 62 of Key Largo, was arrested smiling in his mugshot like he's the cat that got
the cream. He was arrested on Friday, booked into jail on charges of battery and theft via
Munro County Sheriff's Office and a social media post. Deputies say they responded to the fight
shortly before 4 p.m. right off the overseas highway. Witnesses told law enforcement that
Costner punched a 41-year-old man multiple times in the face. Now, this man is 62 years old.
He's being up a 41-year-old man. And then he left the area with a pint of vodka. He
reportedly wrestled out of the hands of a 45-year-old woman.
So he's in some trouble.
But he looks super smiley.
I got to tell you, in his mugshot, he looks...
It's the vodka.
You think it's the vodka?
You think you drank it?
Pretty sure.
Okay.
Florida man, Amazon driver, stole a $4,000 French bulldog while making a delivery.
Yeah.
Rineer Ravalia, sorry.
Rivia.
34.
Faces one charge of grand theft of Kali, the Bulldog, who was
reunited with her owner. I don't know why this dog's $4,000, but yeah, apparently he just took it
right out of the, as he was delivering a package, he apparently took it from the home and he was
ultimately caught. Thankfully, the dog was recovered unharmed because I'd have to murder him.
I'd have to kill him. There's no way. And not, not doing that.
That's just like, why just, golly and a friend, some of these French bulldogs are actually
very, very, very, very expensive. All right, this, um, no, no.
No, no, no, no.
There's a few of those.
Yeah, there's a couple of those today.
Well, there's one guy.
Okay, so there's one guy who's serving time now, jail time, on a DUI, after he ran, this is a villager story.
So I feel like Minecraft, meh, you know how the, the Minecraft villager story.
So this villager was sentenced to time behind bars.
He ran into a fire hydrant with his golf cart.
Mark Anthony Fusco, 58 of the villagers.
He was.
sentence to
can you just hear that like right as it hit the hydrant he was a
sentence to 15 days in sumter county detention center he pled no contest he was found on
the night he just now this happened in april but all his like trial and all that just
happened this week he was found sitting in a laundry on the driveway of his home uh in the
drive oh sorry driveway of a home not his uh near his blue yamaha golf cart which hit a fire
hydrant and then wound up in the flower bed, according to Sumter County Sheriff's office,
their arrest report.
He was heading home from the country club when he got lost, and apparently he was arrested
previously a couple of years earlier for a separate golf cart drunk driving incident in which
he was drinking and ran into something else.
He struggled through the field sobriety exercises and blamed his poor performance on an injury
from the first Gulf War.
And then he provided breath samples that registered.
point two oh four how is he alive he's like made of liquor so in addition by the way so his
conviction from the villages for drunk driving a golf cart was in 2018 he had also wait it gets
crazier he had been previously convicted of a drunk driving charge one in a car and one in another
golf cart in new jersey so this dude has three four total DUI incidents three of them in a
golf cart. One in New Jersey, two in Florida. Kane.
They're just saying is the golf cart one though?
Is it really?
I mean, how fast can them things go?
It's not the same as a 3,000 pound vehicle, I don't think.
No, I think I cannot run them. Can't you? Like, can they do a lot of damage?
Can you? I don't know. Like, you can get a DIY on a horse, can you?
Right. That's weird to me. That is weird. Yeah, because the animal can think.
I don't know. Like, we got a whole other hour on the way. Stick with us, live from Vegas.
Dobbs decision. This was not an issue that was being debated. Oh my gosh. What? Whether women were
doing these things that people are now describing as possible or partial birth abortions.
And I just think that it is meant to distract from the realities, which is this. And it's really
basic and fundamental on one level. This is about taking freedoms away. The freedom to make
decision about your own body. This is a question also of trust. That freedom's not the babies.
I trust women. Blank them babies. President Joe Biden trust women to be able to know what is in
their own best interest. Wait, what? And then make good decisions. How do you trust women when you
can't even define them? Welcome back to the program. Dana Lashier with you. That's Kamala Harris.
Gali, she's just, when I hear her talk, it makes me embarrassed for the female sex because I'm like,
please don't use her as like the standard of measure for the intelligence.
quotient of all, you know, females in this country, because we're not all the same, for real.
Top of this third hour. We're broadcasting from Vegas here at Shot Show. I just, like, the freedom
to do what, you know, everybody has freedom except for them babies, and babies don't have no freedom.
They don't have any freedom at all whatsoever to apparently make any decisions about their body.
What did they mean that they didn't use to debate this stuff? This is all I've been hearing from
these dumb broads for decades. I've been hearing the same BS from these stupid broads for year
after year after year after year, God help us all. I can't endure it anymore. It's the same old, nasty 60s
rehashed. Oh, it's hard, buddy. It's it's bad. It's abortion. I've been hearing this for forever.
Every time there's an election that comes out, they trot out abortion. Every single time in election,
general election, abortion, abortion, but my abortions. Oh, it's freedom. What freedom are you talking about?
What do you mean freedom?
Like the babies should talk about don't have no freedom.
What about freedom, though?
Like, it's been this long.
Maybe instead of bitching about abortion, you teach each other how to not get pregnant.
How about that?
Ladies, teach other ladies.
Keep your knees kissing.
Tell them, like, hey, guess what?
If you engage in an activity that creates life, guess what happens?
You might create life.
What?
I'm just so done with it.
Every year.
And this all, women have not progressed.
We have not evolved because we keep talking about the same stupid stuff all the time.
And then they pretend that we don't, that women haven't accomplished all of this stuff.
This is the matriarchy.
The matriarchy wants to keep women stupid and dependent upon the matriarchy.
That's what all this is about.
I don't know if I could have a daughter today.
I would not be able to handle raising a daughter in today's world.
It's hard enough raising dudes.
I don't think I'd be able to, I don't think I'd be able to raise a daughter in today's world.
This is the kind of stuff.
It's, it's, they sit here and they, they preach about women's empowerment.
But also women, you're too stupid to know how to not get pregnant.
Women, you're too stupid and too weak and too uneducated to be able to, uh, bear life and then still work and do all of these things.
No, they want you to, they want women to be dependent upon Uncle Sam.
They want women to be like, really, I mean, it's like government prostitutes.
I don't know how else to put it.
That's exactly what it is, though.
This is just, it's so.
It's just so asinine.
I'm so tired of hearing it.
Every election.
I just get angrier every year because I, I'm so tired of hearing this.
It's the same stuff over and over again.
Well, you know, it's, it's, it's about taking freedoms away.
What freedom?
What freedom?
Abortion isn't health care.
It's not like, oh my gosh, I think I have sinusitis better go and have an abortion.
That, what is that a, it's not a health issue.
Good grief.
And they, and they act like it's like this, this issue that imperils women.
But according to again, to Planned Parenthood's own statistics, you're looking at, what, the 99% of them are due to, well, it's birth control.
The majority of women, the majority of women that are getting abortion are older women that have more than, that have a child already.
And they do it because they either want to work or they don't want to have to deal with another kid or, you know, something.
That's like the, and that's, that's plain parenthood's own statistics.
It's used as a form of birth control.
nothing more. So let's not pretend otherwise. Let's not sit here and like, you know, try to
trick younger women. Oh, younger women, you're going to like go back to what I, like all this
the rhetoric that they use. I'm just so tired of this. I'm so tired of, of female politicians
always playing this game and devolving back down to this. You know what I haven't heard from somebody
like Nikki Haley? She's a female politician. She's running for president of the United States.
She's not going to win, but she's running for president of the United States. It would be great if, I don't
know, any of these chicks could take their platform and be like, you know all the language that they
hear about this? This is all nonsense. Instead of going, I was made fun of at a beauty pageant because
I was in black or white. It would have been great if they could go out and say, well, you know,
all of the rhetoric that you hear about abortion, this is all stupid. Women are more empowered and
have more agency now over themselves than they ever did prior. What are you talking about? Are all of
you on Hunter's Crack Rock?
So tired of it.
So tired of all of it.
Just done.
So we have,
a few other things to touch on.
We've been broadcasting here from Vegas.
And our last broadcast is tomorrow,
and then we're back in the studio on Monday.
But we've been looking at a lot of the,
goodness, a lot of the issues with the border
because of the,
goofy, silly, whatever,
administration, and I just, I don't know.
I don't know.
Someone says, well, you know,
why don't you just go to the border and, like, stop the invasion?
That's what some of the progressives have been saying.
Why don't you just go to the border and stop, you know,
and stop doing that?
Like, what, oh, I don't need an invitation.
I would gladly help.
And?
Yeah, I mean, that is kind of what Texas is doing.
But they're like, oh, no, you should just go.
Why not just, like, go down to the border?
border. It's what I hear from the left. Like, just go down there. I, like, there's someone who's been saying that. I like, don't talk tough. Just go to the border and form a literal human chain wall. That's actually a, can I just?
Yeah, hands across America. When was that? It was like in the 80s, wasn't it? Just hold hands. You know what? You know what'll happen? They'll go around it. That's, that's what'll happen. Hey, I have no problem with it. I mean, you have to
realize like a lot of us I mean we are it's not that we don't have the capability of doing it
but people are like why don't you just go and and and and and stop it why am I also why can I first
see what my tax dollars are paying for before people decide who aren't from Texas decide to get
snarky about what Texas can and can do it would be great otherwise I have no problem in doing it I mean
sure we can just you know everybody can take off work and they can they can go and and go down there
and they have all those vacation days because they have to work to pay the taxes for the government that's supposed to be doing this,
but is being prevented statewide from doing this by the federal government who gets our taxes,
and they're supposed to, with our tax money, prevent what's happening at the border from happening.
But yeah, sure, people will go ahead and take more time off work and lose those wages and still be taxed at the same rate by a government
who's not going to use that tax money for any other purpose other than who knows what to send a Ukraine.
Sure, by all means.
If only it were that easy, that would be great.
I would love to do that.
Next.
I would love to do that.
Maybe we could enforce also the laws that we have.
Maybe I would, and I know I think it was what, Sarah Sanders at Arkansas said she sent in some National Guard to the border.
We need to actually be able to repel people from entering in illegally.
And I'm, I think that the razor wire, this, the, what is it, the marine barriers and parts of the Rio.
I am all for all of that.
I think we need to get drones, get drones involved.
my gosh, let's just get all of it.
I'm just so done with this
because this is $290,000
just the month of December alone.
In one week, just at Eagle Pass, it was over
23,000, the week right before Christmas,
just at Eagle Pass. One week.
So I'm all for that.
I'm absolutely, however it needs
to be done, it's got to stop. And I think we actually
need more, we need more aggressive deterrent.
We actually need more aggressive deterrent.
You know what happens if you illegally immigrate
to Mexico? Your butt gets thrown into a Mexican
jail. They make movies about Mexican jails. It's not like the four seasons. It's a Mexican jail.
Run by the cartels by and large. See, I'm all for that. All for it. But I don't know what you also
probably will have people that would be prosecuted by the DOJ. So all the people that are saying,
well, you know, Texans need to get out there. You need to get out there and they need to,
okay, you're going to help pay their legal bills when they get sued? I mean, you have Mexico that can
literally sue the United States in court for hurting its nationals, even though it's been
working with the lawless administration for illegal immigration. But hey, whatever.
It's pretty, it just, no. So with this, with this, with this administration, we've been
playing some of these really kind of crazy clips from,
the White House and as well as the vice president with her interview with Katie
Currick. I don't understand the point of her interview with Katie Couric, by the way.
No one believes Katie Kirk's a journalist, right? Well, no, but I like what was the point
of her sitting down and talking she wasn't campaigning? She, what was the point of it? She was like
talking about herself. What was the point of it? It's to give an appearance that she's in front of
the media answering tough questions when it's in fact not at all what she did.
Yeah, yeah. I mean,
true. Is she trying
to like sell herself?
I think she's trying to sell Bidenomics.
That is her attempt to sell
Bidenomics? Yeah. Saying that
oh, prices are lower and it's only going to get better.
Goodness.
Gas lighting is all they got.
The, well, part of that's
the press's fault. And speaking of the press, the LA Times. So it looks like they're just
going to go out of business. Good.
That's shit. I don't even care. Good. I hope they do.
because Legacy Press are rat bastards.
They get really mad when you say that.
I'll say it again because they are.
They deserve it.
It is.
They've been on a downward spiral for, I don't know how long.
I mean, they've been bankrupt before.
They've had like a super high attrition rate with their editorial staff.
It's kind of crazy.
But the Legacy Press, some of this is due to the changing habits of how people consume news.
And a lot of it also, guess what, is Bidenomics.
Bidenomics is actually hurting newsrooms.
anybody actually talk about that. Bidenomics is making it more difficult for advertisers to actually
purchase ads because everybody's broke and that's one of the first things that companies cut.
They cut their ad budgets and it's very difficult for corporations and companies to sell
to advertise when they're reducing their ad budgets. That's the first and that's the lifeblood
of a lot of the legacy press is advertising. And so one of the reasons that you're seeing,
you know, a huge number of legacy press entities, whether it's the LA Times or others,
have these cash crunches and have to lay off all these people is because of that.
And frankly, I mean, you voted for it, so you all deserve each other.
And now, all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick Five.
So according to, and this is The Guardian, they say that the Italian Pope says,
wine is a gift from God.
And that's what he told Italian producers.
I don't disagree that wine is a gift from God.
They said that it's a true source of joy for consumers.
and should be embraced by Italian wine producers.
Yeah, I think that's...
Italian wine's good.
It's very good.
And they don't have, like, a lot of the preservatives and stuff
like that American wine puts in.
So, very good.
This, San Francisco, they have taken legal action
over what they say are unsafe, disruptive, self-driving cars
via MSN.
They've had a number of...
They have a number of incidents
just in the past, like, several months.
So San Francisco suing the state over unsafe,
these don't safe cars.
A lot of them have been used, like,
for taxi services in San Francisco.
They said that they filed against a state commission
that allowed Google and GM,
autonomous car companies to expand here this summer.
They said despite causing a pattern
of serious problems and lots of disruption on the streets,
the lawsuit, which has not been previously reported,
was filed in December.
They said that autonomous vehicles are not welcome
unless they are more vigorously regulated.
I don't know how you can have anything more vigorously regulated
in San Francisco than what they currently are regulated in San Francisco.
But the lawsuit gave a number of,
of examples. For instance, they said that
the Waymo Taxi Service, it's a 24-7
taxi service, that's an autonomous vehicle.
They said that it was compliant. However, they had their
permits pulled last year because one of their
cars struck a jaywalking pedestrian
and then dragged her for about 20 feet.
They said that it makes it a very tricky legal case.
And Waymo has to roll back all of its expansion
in California until they rethink how
they're approaching restrictions on
autonomous vehicles. I also think maybe just like don't
jaywalk.
that kind of like won't happen. I'm just, you know, Netflix subscribers, they say revenue is surging,
subscribers are surging as they've cracked down on password sharing. I didn't realize that that was
like such a big deal. According to the Wall Street Journal, the streamers agreed to pay about
$5 billion. For instance, for WWE Raw, they said that they have to, they have to program for
many tastes, but because they've cracked down on that, they've seen just in the past fourth quarter,
13.1 million subscribers. They say it's their strongest final quarter ever for net addition.
and the same year prior, it was like 7.7 customers that they attracted.
So they're seeing that just explode.
The tallest potentially skyscraper in Oklahoma.
A.O. and developer, Mateus and Capitol have announced plans to change the height of a proposed Oklahoma City super tall skyscraper,
which could, if it's approved, make it the tallest building in the U.S.
Now, Oklahoma's windy.
So I don't know how that works.
And there's not a lot of super tall skyscrapers in like Oklahoma City or elsewhere.
So that seems like it would be a little weird, right?
That's like an odd skyline.
Like if you're going to have it in Oklahoma City, again, windy, there's not a skyline.
I don't know.
But why there as opposed to, you know, as opposed to somewhere else?
I don't know.
But they said that that's, if approved, they said the height variance is going to make the
structure of the tallest building in the U.S.
Fifth tallest in the world.
I mean, it would absolutely tower over everything.
They said it's an extra 157 feet proposed for it.
it would bring it to 1,9007 feet tall.
And they said they would do that as like an homage to the year that Oklahoma was granted statehood.
So that's how, that's how they're, it's the boardwalk at Bricktown.
That's how they're looking to do it.
I'm just saying, I just feel like that's going to be, it's going to look weird.
Not that Oklahoma City is not, it's a very beautiful city, but it's just you don't have like, it's not like Manhattan, right?
You don't have tons of skyscrapers there.
You don't have a ton of that.
All right.
So coming up, we're still broadcasting from Vegas here at Shot Show.
One of my guests I actually met just this week.
She's going to tell you what it's like to be in the IDF
and what they're dealing with over there.
Craving a daily dose of intellectual adrenaline
look no further than the Dana Show podcast,
where curiosity meets courage by following on Apple, Spotify,
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Welcome back to the program.
Dana Lash here with you.
Bottom of this third hour,
and we're broadcasting live from Las Vegas at Shot Show 2024.
And you can listen all across the country.
you can stream the radio program as well
and also get our podcast archives.
So one of the things that we've done on the program
daily since October 7th,
the terrorist attack that was
that was Hamas perpetuated against Israel,
we've followed everything,
all of the developments,
and the policy and the politicians as well
leading up to that.
And I mean, we've talked to a number of lawmakers.
We've, you know, we've had like a good 30,000-foot view.
We went into the history of how there's never
been a Palestine that's existed. It's a completely fictional made-up entity that is not supported
by biblical history or in the Quran. And it was literally a name that Hadrian gave a spiteful name
after the Second Judean uprising as a way to punish the Jews and name them after, like,
named the land after their enemies. And they were Philistines, by the way, and they were from
Crete and they were seafaring people. So it's not even, I mean, there's like no history there.
but we have never had as close to the ground discussion from someone who has been there
and who has been fighting there as we are going to have today.
Orrin Julie, who is on Instagram.
You can find her at Oren O-R-I-N underscore Julie.
She also has the podcast Warrior Spirit that she does.
Fantastic.
She's an officer in the search and rescue unit in the IDF.
She's a reservist.
And she also, I love what she was just telling.
me on break before we rejoined the program. She was saying how important it was to not give up your
second amendment. And we were talking about some of that with one of the women who, and I was trying
to remember what Kibbutz said it was, she saw the terrorists coming in and alerted the whole
community. And yes, and was able to stop anybody essentially from being kidnapped. And that was
and she made sure everybody was armed. They went to the armory. And when you told me that,
It made me think of that story and I thought, oh my gosh.
And that was such, I mean, and you're sharing it from the heart.
First off, welcome so much.
Thank you for having me.
Of course.
I'm super excited to be here and your support is amazing.
I heard what you just said and this is so right and I need more people to understand it.
We didn't steal any land.
We came back to our promised land.
This is the place for the Jewish people.
This is the only country for the Jewish people.
They have like 23 countries and we have only this land.
And this war is not about a land.
It's about existence.
That's right.
It doesn't matter if we are in Germany and it doesn't matter if we were in Israel.
They want to finish us and they won't be able to do it because we will stand strong against it.
Tell me what happened because October 7th was it wasn't just missiles that were coming over a rocket.
At Hamas was sending over.
This is unlike anything we've ever seen, more Jewish deaths since the Holocaust.
Yeah, it was unbelievable.
I remember waking up on 6.30 in the morning.
We heard the sirens and my husband woke me.
up and I was like sirens all of a sudden it doesn't make sense something is going on
and then we started getting all the footage and all the videos of the terrorists getting
into Sderot and Ofakim and kibbutz Behrie and the nova festival and it felt like a nightmare
we felt like we are inside a whole nightmare it was so scary and so brutal and this was
nothing like I've never seen before except the fact that you wanted to kill the
Jews, they wanted to torture them, they raped our women, they kidnapped children.
This is nothing that we've seen before and this was so crazy.
And you had no idea when they were going to pop up next because it just seemed like that
whole day it kept happening in waves, wave after way, oh, here's the parachuters coming
into the Nova Festival.
And then you hear about all these other different communities being attacked, you had no idea
where they were going to pop up next.
The crazy thing about Israel is that we are surrounded by enemies.
And we have strict laws to obtain one pistol with 50 bullets.
This is all we can have.
And only if you were a combat soldier in the IDF.
This is madness.
Which you were.
I have been, yeah.
So I have like five or six firearms in my home because I'm also a sporty shooter.
And we were ready.
My husband and I were ready.
We filled the magazines and we were ready for them to come.
Because we live, let's say, 30 minutes away from Ashkelon.
And the north that I can got was Ashkelon.
And it was like really close.
And we were ready for them to come because it was very, very scary.
We felt like this is the end of Israel.
It was unbelievable.
Yeah, this is how it felt.
So, and for an orange, a competitive shooter, she's, she does her podcast, Warrior Spirit and a reservist.
And so you, you went into Gaza.
Yeah.
So on October 7th, I was waiting for a command, for my commander to go to the south.
But eventually, we went north to Lebanon to protect over there.
I've been for on 70 days of reserve duty it was so hard it was sorry no it was
waking up one day and just your whole life has changed and you know many people in the
festival in the army people that were kidnapped people that were murdered and then
it was like it still is a nightmare it's still going on you know we are trying to
live normal life and this is the first time we do something for myself I go to
Shachow and I you know I I work with companies and I feel awful I feel awful because on 70
days I was on reserve duty and then I went on a speaking tour for Israel and now I do something for
myself and I'm like do I remember the people that are in captivity right now do I remember
that there is a one-year-old baby that my sisters are being raped are being tortured in captivity
and the Me Too movement in silence and where all the liberals that promise to stand with Israel
Where is Biden the president?
The parliament is to stand with Israel?
We feel so lonely.
We feel so lonely.
And this is so scary because internet is filled with terrorists.
Hateful things.
Whoa.
Oh, my goodness.
This is crazy.
And all the social media platforms, they just censor us.
And they just, this is really madness.
I feel like if there was social media during the Holocaust, this is how it would look.
You make, Orin, we're talking with Orange Uly.
she makes such a great point because I have never ever in my life seen it like this.
And these are not robotic accounts.
I have posted things on Instagram and I would go back and you would think that, okay,
you're talking about innocent people who did nothing to be attacked for.
They had a terrorist attack then.
They're simply defending themselves.
And I'm looking at the comments.
Some of these people I know and the sentiments that they express.
I mean, I was really shocked to find that level of what I found and people who think that
you're attacked and you have no right to defend yourself.
And then they say ceasefire to Israel, but not to Hamas.
And Hamas is his leader.
I mentioned this just yesterday, made a video saying that, no, there's going to be more October 7th.
And we don't want a two-state's illusion.
We don't want peace, no ceasefire.
Where are the people saying ceasefire now to Hamas?
Exactly.
This is madness.
for you we've we've been offering them things for decades they don't want it they
don't care about it they want to finish the Jewish people and that this is not
you left unilaterally Gaza in 2005 yeah left them everything exactly and you
know how much money they got a lot and they could be they could have an
successful economy and they could have been amazing but they use this money for
terror this is crazy and I think that the Western world does not understand that
they don't think like Western people. You know you and I we want to live
peaceful life, we want to raise our kids our kids and we want to love to have an
amazing life right we just want to evolve and thrive and they don't care about it
they want to make the world Sharia laws this is all they care about and they
will come to them they they are already in America and this is why I told you
please never give up your Second Amendment right because they are here and
they will do the exact same thing they've done to us here
and in Europe and they already started doing it in Europe and Europe doesn't have like second
amendment so you better protect your second amendment because they are coming here and you better be
prepared and you better be able to protect your family because this is inhumane they're not people
this is inhumane do such things why it wasn't just death they tortured and it was psychological
exactly let's say that soldiers are they want to blame okay you're getting inside and you are killing
soldiers okay it's war but what dogs why do you shoot dogs why do you shoot babies why do
you put babies in the oven why do you rape women why do you rape gang women this is madness
and where is angela julie that said that rape during war is so bad and it needs to be
stopped where is she am ia this is crazy she yes she came out of course you are a jew if you are
a jew it's okay to rape you and torture you this is it's it's awful now with the world show
his true face because you know the whole
word said never again right never again
about the Holocaust but now
when things happening
nobody does nothing and we feel
so alone and we feel like
we have to defend
we depend on one another
because the world is not with us like
all the governments
the Biden administration hasn't been the strong
they haven't even mentioned the American
hostages the American Israeli hostages
that are in custody
they haven't even said it we're talking with Orange Julia
I wanted to
to ask you this as well because you went into Gaza.
One of the things that I
have told people, because Hamas was elected
popularly, and they
were going to be elected really
in West Bank. I mean, they were more
popular than Fata. And
I don't think people realize that when you,
and they still, there was a poll
like maybe eight months ago,
they still were enjoying immense
popularity. Another survey taken
after October 7th, and it
was shocking because the perspective
of those surveyed in Gaza, they were
saying that well, you know, they acted like they were the ones who were provoked and that
is couldn't be farther from the truth. I tend to think that innocent stops when you keep
electing terrorists as your government. And I got to tell you that there may be innocent
people in Gaza, okay, maybe. But if they don't do nothing about this terror group, what can
we do? Are we not, are we not going to defend ourselves because there are innocent people?
My people are innocent. The one-year-old baby, Kfir Bibas, in the
Hamas captivity is very much innocent.
So why people don't talk about the Jewish people that are innocent and did nothing and
being raped and tortured to death?
The Jewish people will never do such things to innocent people.
And you know when our Air Force strike a building, they check if there are innocent people
inside.
They give warnings.
They drop leaflets.
What else do you want us to do?
This is madness and the wall needs to wake up before it's too late and it's getting too
late.
Orrin, Julie, God bless you for your fight and for raising awareness.
And I hope people really take heart the message that you just said to.
Thank you so much.
Because you have to protect your Second Amendment.
We just, I mean, we know that we have one known terrorist that crossed the border just two days ago.
So, I mean, you're right.
It could happen here.
And we're giving them a great opportunity to do it.
God bless you for this.
Make sure you follow her on Instagram.
You can find her ORI in and I'll make sure I tag her as well,
Orange Julie.
And you can check out her podcast as well, Warrior Spirit.
it. And bring, bring the hostages home. Amen.
Bring the hostages home. Thank you so much.
Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts, because knowledge is your
ultimate superpower. And you can go and follow us Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, all over social
media. Find us on X as well. And we're going to be broadcasting here from Schott Show tomorrow
too before we return to Dallas, Texas. And, you know, what we were talking about last segment,
you know, the southern border, that is true. I mean, this is,
It's crazy that this video of this guy saying, yeah, you'll know me soon goes viral.
And as Tim Kennedy was saying earlier, you know, when you have AI say that it, what did he say?
It was like an 82% likelihood that this is the same.
I mean, he says that's pretty much.
So it's a terrorist who had been in jail for terrorism and is able to walk across the Rio at the southern border.
And who knows where he is now?
He's in the interior of the United States.
this is not the first time something like this has happened. Border Patrol chiefs have confirmed
before when they went before the House Committee on Homeland Security. They have said, yes,
there are, in addition to the cartel activity, you are having known terrorists and people
who are suspected of terrorist activity who have crossed the southern border. And so where's the,
they can't tell you where they are after they get in the country and they get further and deeper
into the interior.
So that's why, you know, when you see what happened on October 7th, it's not, it is not
beyond the realm of possibility that something like that happens here, especially with
the federal government that looks the other way at all of the criminality at the southern
border.
And I mean, the guy, that was chilling.
That guy on video, that was very chilling.
He was yelling at this videographer.
And when AI does that, when AI, when they make that, that verification based on such a high
percentage. That's pretty telling. It's incredibly telling. But that's that problem and Border Patrol
having confirmed it before, it is something else. And it's, uh, it's scary to think. It's scary to
think about. And that's why what Orange Julie was saying is that it's, you know, it's very, it could happen
here. It's very realistic. And I, and they would, I didn't know they could only have 50 rounds.
and then you had to be and had to have served in combat IDF.
Wow.
And then you're limited to 50 rounds.
And they've been expediting the ability for people to get guns there on the days after that.
But oh, my goodness.
I would just think everybody needs to be armed when you're surrounded by enemies and then the seat of your back.
Everybody's got to be armed.
Everybody.
I mean, and she's, I mean, goodness, I can't imagine.
She was one of the, you heard her discuss, they went up north because near Lebanon because Hezbollah
after everything happened on October 7th, Hezbollah, also funded by Iran, they decided they were going to carry out some rocket attacks as well. And then later, they had her go into Gaza. And it's just, it's, it's heartbreaking. And everyone that I've spoken with who lives in Israel or who is, a lot of people have been traveling, kind of raising some awareness. And it's not that people are asking for anything. They're just saying, can we just have the awareness to let us do what we need to do to stop this? Because the Hamas,
issue has been an issue for such a long time.
This has been going since 2000.
I actually really predating 2005,
but Hamas specifically since 2005.
06, they win elections.
They enjoyed immense popularity.
They're still popular.
That is why, as I've said,
they suspended elections.
West Bank was going to watch Fata get voted out of power,
and Hamas was going to take over there as well.
That's exactly what was going to happen.
And so this is just to
to the idea that this administration has been blinking and hasn't even mentioned the American
hostages, American hostages still over there. Just assonine. Absolutely assidine. Now, tomorrow
we are broadcasting, like I said, it'll be our last broadcast day from Shot Show. I have some booth
visits today. I'm going to be, if you're like in and around at Shot. I'm going to be at the Keltike
booth coming up in the next, what, hour and a half or so. And then after that, I'm going to be at
triumph systems because they have a really cool app called the Brass app and it's a dry fire laser.
It's very cool.
And you can score.
You can get, I have patches and giving away patches.
It's called my hearts and minds challenge to see if you can beat my score.
So that's going to be a lot of fun.
All right.
Today's stupidity came.
Oh, it's our vice president who is not the borders.
Oh, no, she's a borderzar, but doesn't have any power.
Anyways, here's she talking about all this accomplishments in the economy.
We have historic accomplishments in terms of the economy, what we've done to move forward.
Science, technology, and investment in the American workforce, growing the American workforce, rising wages, bringing down prices.
What?
What the hell are you saying?
That is, it's beyond stupid.
It's just gas lighting at this point.
Yeah, that's so.
All right, folks, that does it for us today.
Make sure you follow on social media.
We've got a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff up there.
and I will be back behind the mic with you tomorrow.
