I've been thinking we need to talk to him about.

He might not listen to me. But yeah, as good a time as any. Okay, I'll give it a go. If he ever takes those earphones out. Vaping is harmful to your child's health. Nicotine addiction can affect their concentration, sleep and moods. They're much more likely to smoke when they're older too. So take a deep breath and talk to them today.

Get the facts about vaping and nicotine. Visit hse.e. forward slash vaping from the HSE. Why do you blame the Biden administration? Because they let them in. Are you stupid? Are you a stupid person? Because they came in on a plane along with thousands of other people that shouldn't be here. And you're just asking questions because you're a stupid person.

And there's a law passed that it's almost impossible not to get them out. You can't get them out once they come in. And they came in and they were unvetted, they were unchecked, there were many of them. And they came in on on big planes. was disgraceful. And if you look, you'll see there was a law pass. It makes it almost impossible not to let them in, not to certify them, so to speak, once they come in. And they came in, and they shouldn't have come in. And frankly, the whole thing was a mess. The whole Afghanistan situation was a mess. It should have never taken place. If we're going to go out, and we would

have gone out, because I had everybody ready to go, we were going to go out with strength and dignity and precision and we would have left from bagram and we would have kept bagram by the way because of its very close relationship to china and where they make their missiles but when you let the people come in by the thousands and thousands and thousands they made a terrible mistake but they were incompetent yeah yeah incompetent to say the least corrupt with the way that this is one of the big things that happened over over break one of the big things that happen and we're going to oh my gosh there's so much we got to dive into because i was very faithful in you know my going by my rule of staying offline for the most part over thanksgiving break and having like an

actual break break and so you know whenever i do that everything happens so we got a lot to discuss including this because this is one of the big stories that broke uh over thanksgiving break the story i mean you're when you're talking about letting every single person in and and vetting Afghanistan or Afghanistan and Minneapolis, et cetera. Yeah. It's and and POTUS was just being I think here very, very, uh, forthright. He was just being very forthright. And I mean, and honest, there's nothing wrong with the honesty. So welcome to the show. Dan Alash with you. We're at the top of this first hour. And it's, um, approximately, uh, freezing degrees in Texas just because you guys know apparently me doing the weather is very entertaining yes I

know we came can and I came from St. Louis but we've been here for over 10 years it's 42 degrees outside can it's 42 are you thawed sufficiently now that you've come inside the studio yeah sure I know that they're getting snow a little further north of us so I don't want to talk about that my mother keeps sending me photos I don't need to see them because it just makes me cold inside just makes me cold so the uh the big And this, the big issue, and this is, the way that I have that we're going to dive into everything today is we're going to start with getting into all of the latest with Minnesota and then the Afghan refugee. We've got the terror attack as well, the Somali stuff in Minnesota, the Afghan terror attack, the Portland's vote Christmas and the gang shooting that the media suddenly ignored. So this situation, let's go, because we had, I'm going to start with this terror attack, and the president was talking about this.

The CIA had, had, the CIA was looking into this FBI, everybody. Apparently the guy worked for a spy agency in Afghanistan. And POTUS was blasting the previous administration for bringing this guy in. The 29-year-old who was taken into custody, and this was literally the day before Thanksgiving. So this is how everybody started Thanksgiving was this 20. year old who got into a shootout with a guard, the National Guard on Wednesday. I know the media response to this was insane because they immediately tried to say, well, the National Guard wouldn't have been shot had they not been there, which is one of the most ridiculous ways to cover this I think I've ever heard. And so Wednesday night, the CIA had revealed that this guy had links to the agency because he apparently worked alongside special forces in Afghanistan before the

completely disastrous withdrawal. So that was one of the big things that one of the developments in this. This individual who, I mean, you know, he was screaming Al-Aqbar and all of this stuff while he was opening fire. I mean, this was pretty horrific. I mean, you had these National Guard members who were shot and the, and it's, you know, the day before Thanksgiving, everybody's out, broad daylight. There's tons of video and photos and, you know, all kinds of footage of this. 800 yards from the White House when he opened fire. And he would stop when the National Guard intervened by shooting back. And the National Guardsman, Sarah Bextram, Army Specialist Sarah Bexstrom, and Air Force Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolf 20 and 24 respectively. And this individual,

I mean, everybody, I think, because there was a lot of discussion as to why he was entirely stripped when he was taken into custody. I think Kane, that's because they wanted to make sure that he didn't have a suicide bomb on him. That's what I'm thinking to make sure he didn't have explosives on him, 800 yards from the White House. So I want to tie all of this stuff in because there was another story that I had, that I have bookmarked that I'm going to bring up where you had something similar with an Afghan national here in the United States. The vetting that we were promised apparently didn't happen. remember everybody we heard it all nonstop from the previous administration that everything was

going to be sufficiently vetted everybody was vetted it's going to be the best vetting ever that's what the previous administration that is exactly what we were told apparently that didn't happen kind of a kind of a big deal that that didn't happen and this individual apparently uh in looking at it there were some things that were known Always. There's always something that is known. In addition to this, we also had this insane post on X, insane only in the amount of beans that the Minnesota Department of Human Service employees, I don't know if you guys saw the actual. I know you heard the stories of it, but did you see the actual post from the official account, the Minnesota Department of Human Service employees? I don't want to read the whole thing because it's, this is an almost. almost like 800 words probably came 700 800 word post so this goes into the story that we talked about towards the end of last week with Minnesota and members of basically the Somali immigrant community and apparently they how the we talked about the billions of dollars in

fraud and how everybody in Minnesota was claiming that their kid had autism so they could get government money. So now the president has talked about this and I mean, and correctly mentioned he was talking about Tim Walts and you're the governor. How do you not see this? Well, dovetailing into that comes this Minnesota Department of Human Service employees tweet. And they immediately start off with saying, quote, Tim Walz is 100% responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota. We let, we let him know. Key phrase here. We let Tim Walts know of fraud early on. hoping for a partnership in stopping fraud, but no, we got the opposite response. Waltz systematically retaliated against whistleblowers using monitoring, threats, repression,

and did his best to discredit fraud reports, they write, instead of partnership. We got the full weight of retaliation by Tim Wals, certain. DFL members and an indifferent mainstream media. They added scary and has left us wondering who we can turn to. And then they added that in addition to retaliating against the whistleblower, Tim Wolfe disempowered the Office of the Legislative Auditor. So agencies didn't have to, they could disregard their audit findings and guidance. And then they add in this post, media and politicians supporting Tim Walz or the DFL agenda attacked whistleblowers who were trying to raise flags, red flags, on fraudulent activities.

They say that it was a cascade of systemic failures leading up to Tim Walz. Agency leaders he appointed, they wrote, willfully disregarded rules and laws to keep fraud reports quiet to the extent. of threatening families, of whistleblowers. They add these same leaders are not qualified for their jobs, instead getting leadership jobs via Tim Walses' friendship, so state government were left floundering. Then they started naming media outlets, WCCO, NPR, they said showed zero interest in covering fraud happening in our own state.

They said programs, especially in behavioral health and disability services, were built with any, without any guardrails against fraud, all to extract more funding from the legislature and the federal government. This is, I mean, they name names, they get in. They said that Walsh is dishonest that he lacks integrity. He has poor leadership abilities. They said that he's never taken any accountability for his role in fraud. He deflects by blaming national politics. I mean, their name and names and dive in. This is, insane. And then they cited Tim Walts, or the New York Times' piece on Tim Walts, quote, the headline, how fraud swamped Minnesota's social services system on Tim Walz's watch.

Okay. Kane, this is a member, this is a government agency. What persuasion politically, typically are these government agencies? Is that right this? Without a doubt they're left. So am I, are we to understand that a leftist, government agency was so mad at the fraud and abuse from Tim Walls that they posted this 700 word like whistleblowing call out on X. Oh yeah. And I bet you they're upset because they did this over a year ago when no one was listening as well. So yeah, I'd be upset if I was them too. Oh my gosh. This is, it is, that is something else. How, I mean, if you're Tim Walz, How do you, how does your staff deal with this?

Can you, now, can you guys imagine if Kamala Harris had won? He would already be installed as vice president. Here's the other question I have. Why didn't, if this was over a year ago, why didn't this come up on the campaign trail? Why didn't this come up on the campaign trail? I mean, really, it's been over a year. where why is our republican opo not doing their job if this has been over a year how has it not blown up until now

you're telling me that we could have had a tim wall's vice president and this sort of blown up now think about h1b visas think about all the stuff we're dealing with the afghan stuff you would have had a guy who's been allowing this merging it allowing this to happen ccp P. Tim. I mean, talk about dodging a political bullet. We're not even done with this. Let's just set the table. So let me tell you what else is on deck. It's going to be exhausting today. Portland has awoke Christmas.

You guys want to take bets on what they're calling their Christmas train, Portland? You guys want to take any bets? Because we got that. And then remember the shooting in Stockton that happened and everybody was talking about it? Then all of a sudden it went away. That's because it was gang shooting. and Islamism. Islamists have started protesting Christmas markets in Europe. I mean, more and more, almost shutting one down entirely. Because this is the real fight, Islamism.

We've got a lot more on the way. It is a super packed show and you don't want to miss anything. So as we head into the holidays, it's not just about gifts.

from the HSE. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick 5. So Kane and our audience, while you guys were traveling heavily over the break, I don't know if you knew about the space turd. I wanted to give you an update about the alien rock, the 3I 1, 3i Atlas. So now they said the United Nations apparently confirmed

that Earth's planetary defenses are going to be observing the interstellar comet now is it races through our solar system beginning actually just the end of last week and it's there's no there's no announcement as to when this oversight is going to end i would imagine it's if the space rock just flies through our solar system and leaves but i think while it's near earth i can do we i mean what are our combined planetary defenses like what is even that like i'm curious about us so they said this was their this was the u.n what they said on their web site. While it poses no threat, comet three eye atlas presents a great opportunity for the whatever community to observe an exercise, blah, but whatever. We're coming back to this because

you guys know aliens. Also, let's see here. COVID vaccines. The FDA now claims that COVID shots killed 10 children and vows new vaccine rules. Hmm. They said that the memo that was released by the CDC, etc., at the time, omitted key details about how officials arrived at their conclusions for determining these actual not vaccines. AI influencers are now boasting personalities, backstories, and even making ill-advised decisions. So now influencers are being run out by AI. Like real people influencers are now competing with AI. Fifty-six percent of dog owners believe that their pup is their soulmate. First off, only 56 percent and also, can you be soulmates with like an animal? I don't know how that works.

Stick with us. We've got a lot more on the way. Folks who help bring you the program, it's the people, our friends over at Burn a gun. Burn a gun shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. And with Burn a gun, they don't care about gun-free zone signs. There's no gun-free zones. They're inapplicable. There's no background checks. There's no permits. It can be sent right to your door. Now, I always carry. I have no problem using lethal force. But as I've said a million times, I also understand that there are local and private property and municipal restrictions that may disarm someone and make it to where you can't carry and protect yourself. So you want to make sure that you have a diversified weapons array.

You carry knives, just like you carry different calibers. The burn a gun is no different. And there's different models, but honestly, what's the point of it if you're looking for something that's going to be concealable and that you're looking to protect yourself when you can't carry your concealed handgun? And this is where the CL comes in. It's a compact launcher. This seems like arguably the size of a cell phone.

Everything made in the USA. And it's, again, no recoil, super easy target. target acquisition. And when you consider stun guns, compared to a stun gun, that's like maybe one or two rounds in a stun gun, with the Burna CL, you have a 15 round shot capacity per cartridge. So, I mean, in terms of deterrence, there's just, there's not a comparison. Visit burner.com slash Dana. Get your hands on the new Burna, C-L, B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Dana.

You shouldn't paint with a broad brush. Go after a criminal to the full extent of the law, but don't say that all Afghans in the United States, those who served with our military and who lost their lives and their health and their families in many ways by doing so, don't say that they're all bad. don't say that people who come from third world countries are bad. Virginia, about one out of nine of us is an immigrant, and our immigrant communities in Virginia have been an enormous source of strength to our commonwealth and to our country,

and it's wrong to target them all for the bad actions of an individual, just like we would. Okay, who said that? So that's, sorry, he's the other Tim. I'm not a fan of Tims on the left, right? There's only, of all the Tims I know, there's only like two. that I actually, that I like. All the other ones are lefty nutbags.

I don't know how else to put it. That's, what's his face? Tim Kane, the other Tim, who looks like, sorry, sidebar with us so I can get it out on my head. Do you guys remember the movie? And if you haven't seen it, it is a must, required watch.

It is one of the best top five comedies of all time. It's called The Burbs. Bruce Stern is in it. Tom Hanks is in it, young Tom Hanks, Carrie Fisher. I saw it when I was a kid, and it remains the best movie, one of the funniest ever. The reason I bring this up is because one of the neighbors, the doctor

who lives next door, looks like Tim Cain. Every time I see him, I think of that. I think of that character, right? The Klopek who lived next door. Dr. Klopek. That's who he looks like him. Anyway, had to get that out of my head. Welcome back. Bottom of this first hour, the chats at Rumble can watch stream channel 347. Also, don't forget the podcast on Apple. the argument that he's making here is an argument only he made. No one else has said this. No one has said this. Who said all Afghans are bad?

Why is that what's being debated instead of the laws being broken? That's the million dollar question. So he's trying to slide around that argument by saying, well, you know, I can't believe. No one said that, though. So he's committing the fallacy of straw man. by claiming that people are talking about the badness or goodness of all of the Afghans. And that's not what's being said here. We're talking about first the problem of unvetted people coming in, which is a real problem.

And I don't care who you are. Anyone who is unvetted, that's a bad thing. Good or bad. We've got the vetting there for a reason. I mean, we shouldn't have to talk to these people. like they're five, but here we are. And the second thing is that the guy in the terror attack who shot

National Guardsmen, he was an Afghan national. And he was bad. That's pretty safe to say. The way that the media the way they covered this was just it was crazy. The way that like you had this

do we have the one where they were where I think I put this in slack which cut is this. It might be where they were at where had the media discussing how this attack and i can't remember i can't even remember there's so much stuff which one did i have it was oh yeah the guy who killed uh troops in american soil people walking around with uniforms in an american city there's some people that might object to that what do we have that audio by the way oh cut 18 sorry thank you cut 18 000 111.11 Frilyan, please. Yes, that's it.

But of course, you know, there's so much controversy happening in the United States right now with ICE who are also wearing uniforms and wearing masks. And so there's you don't know people walking around with uniforms

in an American city, there are some Americans that might object to that. Wait, what? So, that was a live commentary that they had. That was it was on, it's not MSNBC, it's called Ms. Now. Ms. Now.

You know what that sidebar? You know what that sounds like? It sounds like the title of an in-office magazine for your gynecologist. Like if you're sitting in your gynecologist's office, it sounds like that's the magazine that would be on the table. For the older ladies, no offense. I'm not, I'm just saying, y'all know it's true though. Ms. Now, right? Or for the cat ladies, Ms. Now.

just saying Kindelanian at Ms. Now who's suggesting that it's because, you know, they're there, it's the controversy surrounding uniformed officers. Once again, why are uniformed

ICE agents out protecting federal buildings? Because the insane left wouldn't stop attacking federal buildings and federal employees. That is why you had guardsmen out as it pertains to ICE. sitting here making the argument that the reason they were attacked

is because they were wearing uniforms is like saying the girl who got raped deserve it because her skirt was too short it's the same argument I mean I was reading the the readout of his remark you know so much controversy happening in the United States right now with ice

you know and the people wearing uniforms and masks you know people walking around some Americans might object to that that yeah so that's what he said and his response to and so apparently this shooting has happened that he said he was trying to not say well and that's a result you know this the shooting's a result of that he knew what he was saying the more I read the transcript of his remarks the more I could see like mid thought he realized how that was going to be interpreted and so he

tried to mid thought was trying to restructure it Listen, he says, he goes, quote, and so there's, you don't know, people walking around with uniforms in an American city. There are some Americans that might object to that. And so apparently this shooting has happened. That, in quote, that's his literal direct. I just played it. That's me reading it. Did Kamala write that for him?

You think so, right? But he started out saying, well, you know, there's so much controversy. And then as he was into it, he was the third of the way into his remark. He realized, oh, my gosh, this might be interpreted unflatteringly to me. So I need to alter what I'm saying mid-thought. It was an ambush because the guy was a terrorist. The guy wasn't objecting to them because of National Guard and ICE. He screamed Allah al-Hu Akbar in open fire.

He was killing for Allah. Let's be honest. This is a terror attack. it's an absolute terror attack and this I mean good night and don't forget you had the Afghan National arrested over alleged bomb

threatened Texas ABC Homeland Security they said that they arrested an Afghan national who made a social media post about building a bomb and threatening to blow up a building in Fort Worth, Texas now here's a big old long name you ready if you had a guess

as to what his name was real quick would you say it was like Joe Jim dare I say Tim well Tim you're closer but I don't think so now Mohammed Dawood Alokose

sounds like I'm casting a spell he was arrested Tuesday on state terror charges he's being held at a correction center here in my county Kane in our county

he's being held here oh you know who's in charge of that don't you sheriff bill wayburn oh i just sounded like those martians on the muppes yep yep yep uh-huh oh i'm okay with bill wayburn sheriff wavering being over this feller you're all right with that i'm all right with all of sheriff wayburn's deputies being over this feller that's what i voted for so he was arrested one day, one day, the literal day. So Wednesday of last week, right before Thanksgiving, is when the Afghan National shot the National Guardsman in D.C. Right. The day before Tuesday is when this Afghan National talked about blowing up a building in Fort Worth. So very, hmm, I got some,

I got some questions about this. So, yeah. He was also, by the way, it was reported that the guy became not functional as a person months before everything was happening. Does it sound like a sleeper cell? Yes, it does.

I mean, Kane, I might want to borrow some control. Yeah, it looks like something woke up, the sleeper cells, and pretty simultaneously, right before the holiday so that families could talk about this in depth with each other. I mean, there's a lot of intentional, at least it looks that way from my tinfoil hat, on the timing of this, not only the event itself, but the timing. Yeah. And I had another story, too, where there was another Afghan National who had also been inter, this was like a month or so ago. but I don't know we got a lot of questions about this so I also wanted to play this this was flashback this is a cut 19 so this is from 2021 a leandro mayoricus from the Biden administration was asked if

the Afghan nationals who were being brought to America during the botched Biden withdrawal were they vetted I mean that seems like a pretty easy question right this was his answer was Afghanistan as successful withdrawal Senator, the evacuation that the Department of Defense and the Department of State led was historic in evacuating so many individuals. Of those that are evacuated, how many them were vetted before they got on the plane? Senator, it is our policy to... That's a simple question. How many them were vetted before they got on the plane?

Out of Afghanistan? Yeah. I cannot speak to that, but it is our policy. So you can't tell us how many people were bedded before they got on the plane to come to America? Oh, I'm sorry. If you're speaking of the plane to come to America, let me, if I may, Senator, explain the process. Because we working with our allies. Okay, here's a question.

Very simple. Those that got on the plane. For America, it is our policy to... Please, please listen to my question. I apologize. To those who got on the C-17s and other planes, how many more vetted before they got on the plane? by American officials. To the United States, it is our policy to vet and screen 100% of them.

A hundred percent of them? That's what he said. I'm reading the transcript. It was our policy to vet and screen 100% of them. Doesn't sound like that. Doesn't sound like that at all. I don't want to say sleep or sell, but these are starting to become more and more. are they not? We're going to talk more about this. Also, Portland's woke Christmas. Don't call it a

Christmas tree, though. What would you call it? We got that and more. As we move, our partners over to Amosquared, they want to say, you're talking about saving money. I just hate the fact that I didn't come up with this business idea myself, and I'm a little salty about it, because this is such a great idea with Ammo squared, so I use them.

so are the days of the United States. I just want to be clear. This is the party that says that, you know, they care so much about life until life actually shows up at their front door. And this is also the party that supposedly is about Christianity. And I just imagine what they would have done

to a little baby Jesus, but that's a whole other issue. You know, it is really so heartbreaking. We know that, that under the prior Trump administration, it was the children in cages. So for me, expecting them to do better by children was not one of the things that was on my bingo card. Wait, what? Is she, so can I just like correct something? Uh, jazz, and by the way, that wig looks way better on her than the short, blunt bob or the super long, like I like that one better. She

needs to keep that one. But the whole kids in the cages thing, just to remind. everybody. This was back when you had the Flores Amendment, which encouraged, actually, not encouraging, incentivized bringing minors across the border because when you would bring a minor across the border at that time under Obama and Biden, then you were expedited. You're a process processing. Your facilitation into the United States was expedited. So they did this rent-a-kid thing, the cartels did, where they would literally rent out kids to be used. cartel, they, they, by different people trying to cross the border so they would get expedited and then the kids would go back. And as a result of the deluge coming, the sheer numbers, the

Obama Biden administration, they were told repeatedly and they finally listened that there are kids that are going missing, a lot of them. And so they began separating the units of people coming across the border to make sure that the kids were actually relations of the adults. they weren't being trafficked because there was, New York Times did two separate pieces on this, one on the Biden administration, one on Obama Biden. And there were a number, thousands of kids that were actually being trafficked as a result of this. And that's why they started separating them. Nobody in the Democrat Party objected. They didn't say anything about this then. When Trump got into office in 2016, this continued while they worked to try to stop the hemorrhaging at the border.

And then Democrats decided to weaponize it and use it against them. And then they ultimately ended it. And I, you know, I've talked to Border Patrol. I've talked to ICE in person. I've sat down at a table and had dinner with them. And they were telling me that it was very difficult to do the job that they were doing under the structure of laws, the framework in which they had to operate under because it was a framework that incentivized and rewarded the criminality of crossing

illegally, which made it a lot harder for them to deal with with the limited numbers and limited resources that they had. And it was a big, big deal. So it, and now, you know, we get the closed border. Now they're talking about pausing immigration entirely right now, which I think is actually acceptable to do. Because we, there are so many people here. We have no idea any of the backstory. I mean, you can't really have an honor system and accept people that are coming in from countries that have repeated declarations of hating you and, you know, foment terrorist activity, it's a huge problem. We're going to talk more about that, especially what it's led to in Europe.

I don't know if you've seen some of the video coming from Brussels or Vienna over the past week, but their Christmas markets are opened, and Islamists have taken to trying to shut them down. We've got a lot more on the way. Stick with us. As we move, our partners that bring you the program, it is the folks over at Keltec, the Peacekeepers program, something that they're doing. supports people who protect, you know, churches and our schools and law enforcement, all of that,

school resource officers. There are a lot of faith-based teams and SROs that, you know, they rely on small, concealable pistols, you know, nine millimeters. Caltech has long guns that solve that issue because those long guns can fold up compact for a discrete carry and deployment in seconds with full rifle capability. They also get mission-ready support. The folks, in the peacekeepers program like extra platform testing and armorer training. And they also get direct peacekeeper pricing for budget conscious organizations as well. Programs are already active. They've equipped over a dozen churches through the Faith-Based Security Network,

every Brevard County School as well, some other schools. They use R50 defenders, and you have some that use KSGs and sub-2Ks. But they've been partnering with the Faith-Based Security Network and giving people access to this training as well as the pricing. and everything made right here in the U.S. of A.

Visit hse.e.for-slash vaping from the HSE. Over 10 men that came across the border in Joe Byron, there's no way to vet these people. You think El Salvador or Turkey or Sudan or any of these countries have the databases or system checks that we have? Do you think the government of China, Russia, Turkey, you think they're going to share that data with us, even if they did have it, there's no way to clearly vet these people, you know, 100% that they're safe to come in this country from these third world nations.

President Trump's doing the right thing, reviewing every one of these people who came under Biden administration and drilling down on them. I really, truly think that most of them are going to end up being deported because we're not going to be able to properly vet them. Well, and Tom Homan is not wrong with that. He's sitting here addressing how you're allowing all of these people in without vetting anybody and you're going to have issues. And I think that that's a completely, I mean, that's a completely legitimate argument to make, especially with some of the problems that we're seeing now. Welcome back to the program. Top of the second hour, Dana Lash, with you.

We're Monday post- Thanksgiving. We're getting ready for Christmas. So you can find us, the chats at Rumble. You want to hang out and spout off. And then we got Channel 347, Direct TV, Apple Podcast as well. Subscribe to that newsletter over at Substack. I was thinking about this, this issue of unfettered, just mass, not, and I don't say mass migration, because that almost indicates that it's done legally.

Like, when you look at Europe, so much of it's just illegal and they allowed it because Germany decided that they were going to set all of the rules for the rest of Europe about immigration and their rule was that there were no rules. And so everybody came in and now they have major issues. They have major, they've been having major issues in Vienna. I don't know if you've seen some of the videos that have happened, because they've got their Christmas markets set up now. So in a lot of these European nations in Italy and in Germany and in Austria,

they have these Christmas markets and they have these stalls of, like, local craftsmen and all of this. And some of it's mass produced, but a lot of it isn't. And there's like different areas at these little Christmas markets. And it's a big thing. People walk around and they drink mold. wine and, you know, and then, is this the one that's in Vienna or Brussels? This is Vienna. So they had Islamists protesting the Christmas market in Vienna.

And, I mean, bringing everything to a standstill, you can hear some of it, bringing absolutely everything to a standstill. And a lot of these areas have different, I mean, every country, they all have different, their towns have different Christmas markets. This was in Vienna. And they decided to protest. They decided to protest the Christmas market. And you can see some of that video. It was the opening night of the one in Brussels.

They showed up with smoke bombs and drums and drums and songs. screaming and it was one of their biggest ones. They carried banners that read from the river to the sea. Yeah, as people, as families are there, Christmas spirit walking through the Christmas market, these Islamists show up and decide to disrupt. I feel like turnabouts fair play personally. You know, you disrupt Christmas, then Ramadan gets disrupted. And however much Christmas is disrupted, 50 times that in return. That's how I look at this. I think you've got to be a little bit Vlad Tappish about this stuff, honestly.

The opening market, yeah, they screamed about from the river to the sea, globalized the intifada. And this was the opening night in Brussels. Some people were describing it as an Islamic hell. and they they were running off visitors when I see this these people this is not assimilation

these people aren't here to assimilate they're here to conquer they're here to colonize that's colonization that's what colonization looks like the Brussels one I mean they had a lot of people out they were blocking like that interest to the market

I'm looking at some of the video they were blocking the entrances of some of the markets they had the smoke bombs the flags up they had their little picnic blanket, Kaffa's on. And they encircled the entire market. The video that we were just playing, that was in Vienna, they went around the entire market in that square and chanting al-Hu Akbar, chanting calls for jihad, all of that stuff. And then they did the same thing in Brussels, tried to encircle it and chanted, you know, about jihad, etc. That's what,

when you're screaming from the river to the sea and all of that, that's exactly what it is. They had flares, smoke bombs. I'm reading Austrian news and Brussels news. Yeah, they had smoke bombs, flares, all kinds of stuff. Face is covered, you know, because I know that that's the left, the American left, doesn't like it when you cover your face, but this is okay. Visitors and the little kids, they fled. They were terrified.

The kids were crying. They fled. one Brussels paper and this is from this is from one of these Brussels local one of their media there they said that the visitors were shocked reading the translation and especially families with children parents were grabbing their children and running as thick smoke shrouded the festively decorated square

Juan's showing you that's in Brussels that's the opening night of the Christmas market. They ran everybody off. And they stormed it. And they finally, in Germany, they had the same thing in Germany. And this has been like starting, like at first they, they've been having protest every year, but they've been growing every year. And they're going to, they're going to be doing this to all of the Christmas markets there. This is insanity. That's colonization. That's not somebody who's coming over with the intent to assimilate. Remember, assimilation, that's why the left decided that they hated the term melting pot, because melting pot indicated what? Assimulation. And assimilation indicates what? A unity, a common fabric, at least something. That's why the United States was it's not built on a particular faith. It's not built any of the establishment clause. It's not built on a particular creed. It's not built on race. It's not built on any of these idols. It's only built on the are to be free. Do you want to be free? Do you want to live in a free republic? That is the unifying factor. And the left, while they say that they want equality, previously they did, now it's

about equity. Now they want the opposite. They don't want any of that. They want the division and they want the chaos. And that's part of what critical race theory of which DEI is a subset. That is why it's so dangerous. And they have been using this as a divisive tactic to keep everybody separate and to inflame and further divide. They don't want a melting pot because if people realize they have some commonalities, well, then that's bad for the tyrants that seek to dominate them through division. That's the danger. Unity terrifies tyrants. So they really have got to push all of this separate, separate division, division, equity, CRT. And this, I don't know. I mean, It's, I look at these, the Brussels market, there's a couple of others here.

And this is, as these Christmas markets have now opened, people are seeing more of this, of these protests and the screaming. And the one in Brussels, that was probably one of the more aggressive ones in Brooklyn and New York. There's video showing people just getting in the streets and doing the morning prayers. They do it in Britain. I mean, the streets are totally blocked. Some were saying, well, it's not an attempt to assert religious dominance. Oh, yes, it is.

It is absolutely an attempt. You play super loud calls to prayer. It's not like a church bell. Church bells are just bells. And a lot of times they denote the time. No, no, no. You're broadcasting a massive, loud demand to go to prayer. It is audibly dominant, purposefully so.

People block the streets. That's dominance. That is you trying to colonize. I love how this one account that has been out there, you know, it's a bot. Actually, where's it based at? Let me look. I really want to know where this account because it's a new, oh, West Asia. Yeah, it's a West Asia, of course.

they said so it's a you know a foreign account they say no it's that's not how islam spreads it spreads spreads through personal conviction and three choice really tell the armenians that you think islam spreads through quote unquote personal conviction on free choice tell the armenians that the armenian genocide tell the persians that tell the coptic christians that tell the nigerians that tell the knees, tell the Namibians. I mean, I could go on and on. No, that is, it's colonization. That's what it is. Convert or die. That's, tell the Somalians that. And I mean, if you've seen the video, like in the Brooklyn one, you can drive through. If you were on your way to work that morning or in the morning at that time, you would have to wait until the streets cleared out.

that's it's a sign it's a purposeful sign it's a tactic pretending that you are a minority and you are so weak and you're going to exploit the indulgences of the weak society in your favor they the tyrants thrive on that that's what this is it absolutely is a form of dominance it's this is what the victim mentality is it's a new tactic in asymmetrical warfare pretending that you are the weak victim so that you can gain the upper hand and you can dominate. It's the victim mentality. It's a tactic. And they've been doing it in Europe.

They've been doing it in Britain. They've been doing it in Austria. I mean, goodness. And the thing is, you know, you would never see Christians do this to Muslims. You don't see people protesting mosques on Ramadan. You don't see people protesting their events. No. I mean, in majority Muslim countries, you don't even have Christian churches. It's not allowed. But yes, Muslims are the victims. I'm telling you,

the real war is Islamism. And there, we're going to talk about this. The real war is against Islamism, and it is already here, and you are purposefully being distracted by all of these people who, yes, they're paid by Qatar, and we're going to talk about that, too. The amount of money that Qatar spends on the influencer network on the right and left in the United States is jaw-dropping, and it's real. There are efforts underway to get you to talk about A-PAC and Israel and everything else and ignore Islam. Tucker Carlson hasn't said a single thing about the terror attack in D.C. He hasn't said a single thing

about the Somali fraud in Minnesota. Why is that? He hasn't said a single thing about the Afghan who wanted to launch a bomb in Fort Worth. Why is that? Kind of weird, isn't it?

I mean, you need to realize who the real threat is and what side people are on. It's the folks over at Superbeats. You guys are familiar with Superbeats and Human. What makes the story different is where it began.

Human was founded out of the UT Health Science Center, built on real cardiovascular research around blood flow and nitric oxide. And unlike other supplement brands, human is science-born, not just science-ish. Their products work, and you can feel them working. U.T. athletes have used Superbeats for over a decade calling it their cheat code for recovery and endurance, and you can use it for the same reason to support healthy blood pressure and circulation. Today, more than 160 college and pro teams use human products, so your favorite team probably does too. And if you've seen the human logo on the Longhorns field this football season, that's more

than a sponsorship. It is a signal from human and UT together leading the future of cardiovascular health for athletes and for everyone.

dot i.e forward slash vaping from the hsee and now all of the news you would probably miss it's time for dana's quick five so the I wanted to go back there was a couple that I missed out of the first one Megan Markle is dubbed Salmonella Sussex as she's mocked for her

Thanksgiving blunder I was watching how she I watched a little I saw it pop pop on I think it was Instagram and I'm like I can tell she's never messed with a turkey before Look, when you're dealing with raw meat and raw poultry, you don't wear jewelry. She had her rings on, and she's got turkey juice all over her jewelry. You know how nasty that is? If you're not UVing and scrubbing that, you are cross-contaminating everything.

Tell me you have no idea how to do stuff in a kitchen without telling me. Also, that is so, like, just basic. We know that she likes the jewelry now that she can afford only because she married that spare. I get it. But don't wear them and get turkey juice all over it and then touch all the other food. It's disgusting.

Oh my gosh. All right, moving. I just name it myself. Data centers are a gold rush for construction workers according to the Wall Street Journal. We are not building enough. That is for sure. And I mean, that's a whole other problem

that we're going to have to deal with. data centers, what Wall Street Journal is saying, is that the surging demand means that construction workers are getting tons of perks. Some are getting six figures in pay. Everything from, you know, drywall and electricians and plumbers and welders. There's a guy who works the night shift, and this is they talk about in Columbus, Ohio. He oversees a team of 200 workers and he pulls in six figures a year. I mean, they can't build them fast enough. They really can't.

And then you've got to talk about the power usage and everything else. It's quite a lot. More than 100,000 worth of escargo is stolen cane from a French snail farmer with Michelin clientele.

the pulse with the Dana Show podcast delivering timely news with insightful analysis. Whenever you want straight to you on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts. urging today, obviously, most important, for people to understand that this wasn't just some organic effort, it wasn't just some story or people are sharing, this is a well-articulated and organized campaign against our community. And for many of the conservative members of our community, I want to specifically name that this fight or this conversation is happening because there is a major debate about whether we are America first, we care about America and America's interests, or we are Israeli first, then America first. Because I know for sure that this campaign mirrors the same campaign targeting Candace Owen and Tucker Carlson.

Oh, my gosh. This is the head of care. Conservative side who have garnered tremendous support in the younger generation of Republicans who are refusing to accept, refusing to accept that America will continue to take the wars of Israel, destabilize the Middle East, lose American soldiers, lose our own. tax dollars while committing carnage and lossage in the lives of Muslims. And many of these... This guy's going to be a guest on Tucker Carlson's show like next week, probably.

Just wait. This is the head of Care, Minnesota, the Council for American Islamic Relations. And Care, by the way, there was a lot of accusations about them. Well, they were named an unindicted co-conspirator in the 2007. Holy Land Foundation. They were, that was the terrorism financing trial. I mean, there's, they got a lot. They got a, they got a big, dirty history. Care does. So I hope people realize now that all of the stuff that you've been hearing about the anti-Israeli stuff is a sci-op that's being pulled on you. And I absolutely question and challenge some of these people that are pushing

this stuff. I mean, Occam's Razor, I just, you know, if I'm speculating, seems to me that some of these people are getting some Katari money. It's very interesting how you can just go off and all of a sudden you go off on your own and you create your own thing with money that just comes out of the ether. Pretty amazing, right? Has to come from somewhere. I mean, go and check some of the, go look at just some of the financial associations of some of the people that are financing some of your favorite podcasts. See? It's very interesting. You don't got to worry about pay for play and podcasting the way you do in broadcasting, do you cane? No.

You don't. See, if I were to do something like that, I would have to, I will first, I'd be, I'd have my, our light, we'd be pulled off air. Because if we weren't pulled off air, all of our terrestrial affiliates would have their licenses pulled. So, yeah. But it's different in some of these other mediums. I'm just saying, you know, if they can make the claims that they can, this guy's making the exact same argument that grapers make. I mean, it's like listening to like, it is like listening to, like, it is like listening to Kina's someone standing up. there and whatever. I don't even know how someone who literally was a progressive that doxed conservatives in 2015 and was a protege of L. Sharpton can be considered, you know, like an influencer of conservative thought today. Conservative thought today. So this guy, he says, revoking deportation for Somali fraudsters is an Israel first policy. That's literally what he's arguing, the head of care, the Council for American Islamic Relations that are working to try to help colonize the United States in the name of Islam. That's what this is all about. And all of these people who are accepting cash for relevancy and trying to get a share of the digital pie just so

they can have two homes and they can have their, you know, grace and favor titles and all this stuff. They don't have any problem except in money for that. In the same way that people like Bill Gates have no problem except, you know, pushing Marxism and high taxation because they're never actually, they're too rich to be touched by it. If you, have too many opportunities and too much money coming in, you'll say anything. All this stuff corrupts, guys. It all does. But the idea of saying that if you are challenging using taxpayer money to fund foreign terrorists, like, and this all goes back to the Somali fraud in Minnesota, where they determined that billions of dollars of taxpayer money were being sent

to actual Somali terrorists. Your taxpayers are being fleeced. And this guy, Council for American Islamic Relations in Minnesota is coming up saying, well, if you're challenging this, then, you know, that's an Israel first thing. How is it Israel first to object to hardworking taxpayer dollars being stolen by Somali migrants claiming autism and all these other things, stealing taxpayer dollars and then sending it back to Somalia? How is that? first off, where the hell does Israel come into that? You can't just say, yeah, but Israel as a defense for everything. Can you believe? I mean, I just hope people understand that this is all about pushing Islamism. All of this is about pushing Islamism. And you can't do that if you have an alliance

with a certain entity in the Middle East. Interesting how that works. That's like the sitting here saying, oh, well, that's just you're being Israel first. It's literally the same thing as call the left calling the right racists like some of these people going out there saying christ is king they're actually blaspheming it's just like saying black lives matter because they're not saying it to push the faith they're saying it as a way because they're caught up in this whole israel first nonsense it is asinine i cannot believe people don't see this it is so transparent now it is i mean this was just there he this is he's just trying to tap in to anti-Israeli sentiment as a defensive mechanism.

That's all he's doing. I can't imagine. What does stealing taxpayer dollars and sending it to Somali terrorists have to do with Israel? I would love for that question to be answered. I would love for that guy. I would love, and the Washington Free Beacon, by the way, is the one that has this video. So does care, are they, is the Council for American Islamic Relations, are care now going to partner up with Tucker? I mean, really? What in the world? No, honoring American

taxpayers is America first. Defending American taxpayers from fraud is America first. This is nothing to do with Israel. Not everything is Israel's fault, guys. This is so ridiculous. I felt like I was watching, I mean, I felt like I was listening to some grape or nonsense. Now you can see, do you see now horseshoe theory when you are in a position so far extreme that you actually become what you are claiming to advocate against it's exactly what we're seeing here they are the same this is the exact same language that's used by the quote unquote woke right but i don't consider the woke right actually being on the right it's the it's the leftists that are using leftist tactics while claiming that they're on the right i mean this is crazy that's like saying oh my gosh i got a

speeding ticket making me pay it is Israel first right that's what it's oh my gosh I got a nail on my tire making me pay to fix it is Israel first I don't know but this is this is what we're talking about you have an entire community imported in from Somalia then they decided to steal taxpayer dollars now we have this problem and care who is an ally of this community is saying that it's Israel first to ask questions. They're going to take everything back to the Jews. That's how they're going to do. Oh my gosh, you want accountability for taxpayer dollars, the Jews.

Everything. That's how the, it's just asinine. But now you see. Now you see it. It's going to be more and more and more. And Steve found this interesting thing. You have these influencers that are, that are, that are taken over

to Qatar. Like I've seen a couple of people, they do it's interesting. They do like influence or tourism. And I see some of these people that they claim that they're on the right. They're really not.

But they brag about, oh, went to Qatar and it's so different. Cutter will pay to bring them over and they'll wine and dine them. Well, they'll dine them. and then they brag about how amazing everything is in Qatar as a way to influence wash it in American culture.

Here is this. We've got this one in mom. We've got audio of this. This is 22. The former Qatari prime minister, Hamad bin Yassim, who says we have journalists on our payroll in many, many, many countries. This is a fact. Listen.

He's saying we got journalists. He's saying we got journalists from the war. Some of them are now, and some of them are whatanians. I know what I'm in the world, I can they're going to pay them every year, he says. Some of them received salaries.

And all of the Arab countries, he says, all of them were doing this. Not all of them, actually. He says, if not all than most, that's what's so crazy about this. The funding is out of control. Qatar, as I told you, has spent so much money on, first off, this is what they're doing with influencing is separate from the stuff that they do as a foreign agent, under their foreign agents registration act. So from 2016 to 2024, they've spent like over $300 million. By the way, for everyone who wants to sit here and talk about how much Israel, would, spend, it's under 188 million. Cutter, and for that same exact period, Cutter spent

over 250 million. They're spending, Cutter spends three times what Israel does. Way, way, way more. They have not dialed it back at all. And there's a reason why. There's a big reason why. The payroll, by the way, for this, what this is mom or this foreign, sorry, foreign prime minister was talking about. By the way, I wonder which journalists are currently on the payroll. You know, if you were to look, it's not like they get paid directly. It's not like Cutter writes a check. Like from the bank of Cutter to, you know, Schmucker Marlson, you know, just like naming somebody or Amanda Bowens, you know, it's not like they just write a check like that and then put in the memo for the influence. It's always a third

party. It's always, it's always, you know, laundered for the lack of a better term, through a third party. That's how it always is. That's what the, that's how the left does. It's how care did a lot of stuff. That's how the Holy Land Foundation, what do you think that trial, while there were so many different organization names in that trial. It's a bribery. I mean, if you're accepting Katari cash, that's like Al Jazeera and RT. Like I see people, I will never, they stopped asking. but they used to ask all the time. RT is Russia today. It was founded and funded by the Kremlin, 100%.

So when you see RT stuff, that's all Kremlin. Al Jazeera is very similar. You guys remember the whole Al Jazeera thing from 10 years ago. This is, I mean, you're, you're not doing journalism if you're accepting money from an entity to advocate for that entity. And a lot of it is coming through. And Cutters paint a lot of it. I mean, these are just this.

I mean, there's, we talked about this before. And the lobbying that they do, there's an insane amount of lobbying, not just again with foreign policy stuff, but all over. Now, here's something interesting. There was an order sign designating some Muslim Brotherhood chapters as foreign terrorist organizations. But the Qatari chapter was exempted. Why is that?

Maybe, and this is according to actual, you know, federal data, and we were just talking about how much money Cutter spends, it's because we get billions upon billions upon billions, upon billions, upon billions, about billions of dollars from Qatar. That's why. We have about 30 billion in businesses. investments, about almost 30 billion in weapons purchases, 20 billion in energy plants and export facilities. The air base that everyone talks about is 8 billion. Colleges and universities, Qatar is the biggest donor to colleges and universities, even beating China. And the lobbying

in public relations is the biggest chunk of the pie next to the business. They're almost equal. there's probably about $500 million in difference between the lobbying and the business investments. It is a real thing. So, hmm, does kind of seem interesting that that chapter would be excluded. I'm telling you, this is the real battle here. And you're already seeing those who drew sides.

Man, I don't even know what Florida Man was doing over Thanksgiving weekend, but apparently it was something else. So, first up, I'm going to do this one.

The cockroach eating one, this is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. A Florida man kicked the bucket after choking on live cockroaches and a disgusting eating contest. So he consumed numerous life cockroaches and the grand prize is a python. He suffered fatal asphyxiation when he choked to death on one. Oh my gosh, I cannot even read the story.

I am dying right now. It was called the Midnight Madness Marketing Event at a reptile store. I can't believe someone wanted a python. You can just go into the damn swamp and get it for free, you know. I mean, there's that. many you don't need to eat live bugs there's an entomology student who witnessed it and oh my gosh they

and these things were three to four inches in length oh my god yeah uh-huh i i'm done with all of this i oh that's so lame if you're a store and you're doing that that's that's uh well we're all i'm sorry a florida farmer opened fire in a bar after an argument over How many eggs a hen lays? Yeah, we did that one. When? We did that one the week before Thanksgiving. I don't think so.

No, that was a different one. Was it? Did we do this one? I don't think we did. You know, in our luck, it's probably like an actual other, another Florida man. Okay, so let's talk about then the guy who sprayed barbecue sauce everywhere. How about that one?

I bet you don't have that one, Kane. Florida man was arrested because he broke into a home and sprayed barbecue sauce on all the walls and furniture before the house caught on fire chimney Christmas he has

yeah Evan Hunter Hamock I don't like his name 20 Gainesville he was arrested because he broke into a house sprayed barbecue sauce on all of the walls and furniture before the house caught on fire

now they did say that arson charges may be filed so there's a possibility that he also burned the house down in addition to spraying it with barbecue. It sounds like he was very confused as to how barbecues work, I feel like. And it happened about six in the morning

and they responded, they took him into custody, but they may still file that arson charge. Stick with us, we got more in store. Did you know, employers can gift up to $1,500-year tax-free to employees in a tax year? Many of Ireland's largest employers choose me to you,

Also, you can stream the radio program, channel 347 direct TV as well. And don't forget the substack chapter and verse in our podcast, Apple, go subscribe. I have to share this story with you because it's chef's kiss satisfying. Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones are very upset. They are reportedly furious over their sons on air humiliation on CNN. They are upset because their son Dylan, who does he host another NEPA baby with a podcast?

Is that how I understand it? I don't know what the hell this kid does. He's a fetus and he hosts a podcast or radio whatever. Anyway, he was on CNN, a roundtable discussion and he got into it with a couple of people, including Scott Jennings. And it did not go very well for him at all. He, like, started stuttering in the middle of one of his answers and, sorry, he's a clump of cells. Thank you, Kane. And he started just stumbling and muttering through one of his answers and it all fell apart.

And his parents were livid. First, let me just share it. This is what happened. This was cut. Sorry, I've got to pull up my audio. I lost it. What? Yes.

This is the flashback of 30. Yeah, 31. Thank you. Listen. Back, you cannot put on the American people that Democrats were. the one that were hurting people, making this plight. Who was casting the votes against opening the government? Democrats or Republicans?

Who was... Who was casting the votes? Scott, who was wanting to cut SNAP benefits? Nobody. Republicans voted to fund SNAP 15 times? Who was playing up SNAP? After two courts ruled that it was allowed? Republicans voted

to fund SNAP 15 times. Democrats voted to defund it 15 times, and now it took, and we talked about the affordable health health care. You talk about the affordable health care. It's terrible. Landmark legislation is not perfect. We understand that. So he immediately had a pivot.

70% of Americans. And then even after this, so he immediately had a pivot. And then he still got owned after that. So his parents, Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones, were very reportedly displeased over the manner in which their son was humiliated. They said, apparently, they, it's being reported that they intend to blacklist the entire network. And they think CNN crossed the line by having him on in the first place. I agree. They informed one of those gossip columnists, insiders, apparently, about the Douglas and Zeta Jones's reaction.

They were said to be so furious that they want to blacklist the whole network. And Zeta Jones apparently was ranting to her friends about how the interview was unfair and exploitative. What? And Douglas apparently said that the outlet crossed a line. And they are angry because they knew he was not prepared for such a heated debate. one aide or one source said quote dylan's never been spoken to like that in his entire life he's always been the golden boy adored protected sanna gave him a taste of the real world and his parents hated every second of it i'm just going to say that politics may not be for you baby it may not be for

you if you're going to be that hurt by it oh my gosh and he just it really it's not a lot of people i think expect to be coddled and and that's just not how it goes. It's like how I see Nepo babies, nepa babes, sometimes being on Fox. There are a number, look, some of these people are my friends, but I don't want to see

your damn 19 year old kids sitting here lecturing all of us about tax policy. My gosh, they don't even pay taxes. No offense, but I think you've got to have a little skin. Actually, I don't care if you're offended. Just like, eat my shorts. I don't care. I don't care. This is not about being offended. And if people

are offended over dissent than you are literally too weak for this biz. Get out. But I'm, I'm just, I thought it was funny because I saw this from New York Post. Nikki Haley's son, they said he has views to the far right of his mom. So apparently he's like Groyper adjacent. But, and he says, apparently he apparently thinks he's the voice of Gen Z. I've only met him briefly one time when she brought him to a T.P. USA event was having him, taking him around me, introducing him to everyone, which I viewed as, oh, she's trying to make that happen. I see there are conservative parents all the time that do this with their kids, and I don't get it. I don't get it. I don't know. So the, and he's been on, I've seen him go on cable news before. There was one show that I

watched. They had a guest host, and it was a string of Republican nepo babies, one right after the other. There were like four nepo baby guests. And I'm like, what in the world? you're like you know live a little be humble enough to realize you need to live a little before you start giving orders that's all we're saying good night and he had said quote um one of his he told the new york post uh democrats are listening to the younger people and it's time for republicans to do the same do you know every generation says this like you are not the first person to ever say this You're not the first generation. I get it that people think politics began the day that they grace the earth with their presence, Ken.

But everybody says this. Every generation says this. And I say no. Sorry. I actually think it was the one thing that Kamala Harris said that was somewhat right. Sorry. I think the voting age is too damn low. It is.

It is. It's too damn low. and he um i think it's very easy to be to the right of niggie haley so let's not get apoplectic with the headline your post it's very easy to be to the right of her and she seems like a nice enough person i just disagree with her on a number of policy issues but he was saying my friends graduated with great degrees from great schools and then nobody has a job oh my gosh i'm so tired of the victim mentality also look i'm not saying that it's not hard for this or any generation, but every generation has a hardness that they have to deal with.

Imagine that you're the greatest generation, right? You have World War I and World War II. Some were in both. And then you have the Korean War, and then your kids go off to Vietnam. I mean, it's the Cold War and back to back. I mean, some people had it a little bit harder. the Great Depression. God, Lee, I, that's why they call them the greatest generation, by the way. They live through everything. All of this and more.

We have got to stop entertaining this victim mentality. It's not to say that there aren't issues to deal with. Hell, yes, there are. I think that they're fixable. I don't think that there's people in D.C. with the spine to do it.

But I also think at the same time, the victim mentality is, God, is stop. Let's, I mean, I see people, and the reason I point this out so much is because all of the things that I'm seeing from some of the NEPO babies is that they're all complaining about the problems, not a single one of them has a solution or wants to be a part of a solution. They just want to join the money train of bitching about it. Okay, we've got a ton of that. What is your solution. And no, paying women to have babies, aka welfare, ain't it. We do that. It Phil. What's your solution? I mean, there's a lot of things we can do. But the victim mentality,

come on, it's got to stop. It's just to, yes, we get it. Things blow. But also, do you realize that some of the complaints of the younger generations are that, wow, why is it that I can't live in the same house as this 70-year-old, you know, marketing executive? I don't get I I I talk to a friend or an associate client or a contemporary whose daughter graduated two years ago and is a door dasher does door dash and a couple of other things complaining and apparently turned down a couple of jobs because she just didn't think that it was just enough for her degree it entry level means entry level your degree does not mean low and look I've got a degree which means I can do whatever I want I want this corner office with the windows I want to be able to have the top company parking spot I want all these things I mean everybody starts somewhere everybody starts somewhere I started waiting tables everybody starts somewhere even after college do you know what I did after college I wrote I edited people's resumes and then I started I got my foot in the door freelancing writing about people's houses and I didn't know a damn thing about

I still don't know anything about decor or anything like that and then interviewing politicians and newsmakers. That's how I got started. Got paid garbage with a degree. But you start somewhere.

Everybody starts somewhere. That's part of the problem is this unmanaged expectation. Some of that's your parents' fault. And also some of you people on the right need to stop pimping your damn kids out. I'm so tired of seeing it. Nobody wants to see everybody pimping their kids out on Fox News.

I don't want to see an endless string of NEPA babies. I don't want to see people pimping their kids out as soon as they graduate college. They're going to become a politician. Good night. We have enough welfare addicts. That's what it is. You're just adding to the welfare class, but they think it's somehow more glorious and more respectable because you're doing a job for the people, really.

Come on. at least welfare recipients realize, and they call it what it is. The political class likes to think that there's an art to it. It just cracks me up. Stop it. Stop it. Have your precious nepa baby. Go into the private sector and work in the real world.

Do some hard work. Maybe get their hands dirty. It's okay, Mom and Dad. It's okay. Just good night. It made me think of that. Okay, I got a couple of other things. Why are Republican influencers taking money from Qatar going on trips to Qatar for F1 and being whined and dined by Qatar?

Over Thanksgiving week and a number of lawmakers and some conservative, or not conservative, Republican influencers apparently were, I don't know, I guess they were being whined and dined in Qatar at F1. and they all had pictures of it and all kinds of stuff and wow now i just i find it interesting that it was over a uniquely american holiday so some of them include representative marlin stutzman who follows me uh that's uh what indiana lance gooden from texas abe ahmeda from arizona's eighth from Florida's 15th. Ryan Zink follows me from Montana Congressman.

I'm curious. And then there's some other Republican influencers. And they met with apparently the Katari Royal Family and they got to go to, because they had the F1 thing there and they, oh my goodness, they got

wined and dined and they were talking about how great Cutter was. So do you all need to register under Farrow now? I mean, we see this. You got used as prostitutes over Thanksgiving, a uniquely American holiday, and you don't even realize it. I mean, I understand the drive to make money, but at some point, it shouldn't exceed your self-respect. We have more on the way. We've got headlines coming up.

And now, all of the news you would probably. miss. It's time for Dana's quick five. Okay, I thought free pet, I'm allergic to cats legitimately. I actually am. A man was mauled to death by a lioness at a zoo because he was stupid

and climbed into the enclosure in front of horrified visitors. You'd better not be putting that cat down. Better not. It was in Brazil. 19-year-old Gerson Machado slipped into the cat's pin because he wants to become a trainer.

And it mauled him to death. It ate him to death. Oh my gosh. Of course there's horror footage. Of course there is. Apparently he also is severe mental problems and he was diagnosed with schizophrenia, etc.

And there's a video of him literally climbing, he scaled over the fence, climbed the tree and then was mowed by the big cat. So there's a reason why they're kept in those giant pits, by the way. You're not supposed to go with them like that.

6.0 magnitude earthquake struck northwest anchorage, Alaska. Also, the boulder, the size of a small car, scratched, crashed into an SUV driving near Leavenworth. Do you always, I always get nervous when I'm driving by anywhere that looks like rock slide, you know, especially like southern Missouri and out west Texas,

like southwest Texas. Yeah, it was the size of a small car. four people were including a 12 year old no one was there was no fatalities there were minor injuries but mostly everybody was on harm but they had a shut down part of the road while they could make sure it was safe francis far right later was hit by an egg days after a flower attack uh this from the national rally party i mean why would you do that with like eggs and stuff that's like you know bread and dessert making material the suspect was a 74 year old man interesting also Ooh, pistachio. There is a pistachio recall. Well, this is Canadian. I almost said Canada. This is Canada. But the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, they said there's possible salmonella. And they have like a long list of names, like anything that was sold in Canada. But then some of the stuff you can get like on Amazon and things like that. So you might want to just double check some of your labels for those things.

Yeah, this was described as Check Your Nuts. Anthrax Pigs of Texas, which sounds like an amazing metal band. Sparked panic. What you're not supposed to eat? You can eat feral hogs, but they just taste different in gaming. I don't like the taste. There's an outbreak of feral hogs in Texas, though. They could be carrying anthrax infections, which I still think that that is probably one of the most amazing band names I've ever heard.

Anthrax Pigs of Texas. You know, you could incorporate the pig squeal in there as like an agitator. just saying. But these hogs, they can cost over a billion in damages every year. That's why hog hunting is so important. We have Stephen Yates and a host of questions coming up next. Stick with us. Not able to catch all three hours of the Dana Show?

getting y'all set up for this week and i have a million things that i want to ask i'm trying not to overload him i mean god love him just came back from thanksgiving and he's you know on worldwide he's on tour all around the world he's tours more than taylor swift stephen yates who everybody knows he is an absolute expert and a man about the world and he joins us now via video you can also find him a senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation at Yates Combs on X. And he joins us. Stephen, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. It's good to see you. I don't even know where to start with you because I want to talk Japan and China, but at the same time, I wanted to get your opinion because Kane and I were kind of bouncing this back and forth off air about the

whole Venezuela thing. Now, in your opinion, I'm looking at this, pull up my story here, the pardon of I mean, the guy that's being pardoned by POTUS is he's been described as a narco trafficker, this Juan Orlando Hernandez. And he's going to be pardoned. He was, you know, former president of Honduras, et cetera. And then you have the Venezuela narco boat explosions. And I just, is that sending a conflicting message or is there a state? craft strategy that I am just not seen because I'm just not, I'm not seeing the forest for the trees? Well, I think a lot of us are not seeing the narrative that would help explain the pardon

very well. There's a lot of friends of mine that say it doesn't look and sound that great, but you always wonder if there's more behind the story. And sometimes you are going to have a partner or release of someone unsavory or compromised because you're making an exchange with a government to deliver in another area that might be painful otherwise to get that concession for so there may be some state craft going on behind the scenes i have not seen those details sometimes the white house doesn't run everything by they ought to be a nice if they did it's not my white house but i'd be like wait a minute has yates seen this yet get it to yates but it you know they it can't hit them as a surprise that there's a pretty pronounced narrative about

the Venezuela action, especially on the high seas, that it's all looking at narco-terrorists and the people who are bringing poison into our country. And that's a hill I'd be willing to die on for, you know, we have the right to defend ourselves against that crap. Yeah. But the, you know, so there's definitely some mixed signals in these two different issues. But then there's the whole question of, where is this going with Venezuela? And there's a lot layered into that. And I basically see, that as a Trump strategy. In other words, this is not a neo-con go in and nation-build kind of situation, and it might be one of the U.S. forces used at all on land. It would be a shock and awe, but then it's forces within Venezuela who have to do whatever they're going to do. Not a pottery

barn, you break it, you own it kind of situation. But for now, there isn't a lot of strategic signaling going on about what this is about other than if you're going to get on a boat with drugs, drugs, don't ask me to cry when you get blown up. Yeah, that's, so that's, that's the other thing that I, that I'm kind of going back and forth on, because Hegg says, Sex War is getting a lot of criticism, uh, for the whole, I think the last thing, I was reading the story of the last boat that was, you know, a narco terrorist and they were, you know, bringing drugs, you know, through the seas. And apparently, you know, the boat was blown up. There were two people clinging to the wreckage. U.S. commander ordered

a second strike. That apparently took them out. The New York Post had a write, or sorry, the Washington Post had a write-up of this. And the way that they, as the way that they were describing it was that it was a war crime under federal law. Because if they are on, if they are non, basically unable to defend themselves regardless of their classification, then that's, then you're not supposed to blow them up anymore. But then I look at it like this, too, a consequence of getting on a drug boat and running drugs through international, to the United States is that you could get blown up by people in our military who are paid by taxpayers to maybe kind of have a little bit of an itchy trigger finger. That's just my take on it. It's kind of hard to, you know, fall down on it because I want to do the John Adams thing and I want to

go by the book of law. But at the same time, I also want to wipe all these people off the face of the earth. Now, but, you know, there's a big, big problem in all of this. People use these two words international law as if it is something that exists outside of the liberal globalist mind virus. And people can wrap themselves in virtue all they want, but it's still a stinking pile of horse hockey. All that exists in terms of international law is the golden rule. He who has the gold rules. He who has the power makes the rules. And if you can, you can abide by them or not. And the only way you enforce so-called international law or these rules is if you are more powerful and you can impose your will. Whether you like it or not, that's the way the world is.

There's a whole bunch of international rules and laws and norms that didn't stop Al-Qaeda from taking down two towers and hit the Pentagon in another plane. There's a whole lot of rules and norms that didn't stop China from unleashing a virus and lying about it, millions died and trillions were lost. So there's this whole, I think, intellectual kind of group singing session that is going on about all of this, but if you are on the high seas, we blow up half your boat and half your body, is it more humane to put you out or to leave you to be eaten by the sharks? Frankly, I don't care either way. Yeah, you know, I mean, the sharks need food too.

But at the same time, I'm like, yeah, I don't know. I'm with you on that. And I also think it's kind of a consequence of being a drug runner. Why are we turned into the bad guys because they chose to do this and we're trying to prevent bad. That's what I come back to fundamentally. I know it sounds like an oversimplification of the issue, but really that's what it is. Well, in my view, I think this is only a conversation we're having because people are dying to come up with some kind of gotcha that is their thing to say, see, Trump did this. See, these guys are all wrong and we have to pull

this whole thing down because the rebalancing that has happened with trying to push Europe to do more for Europe, the rebalancing that has been trying to bring a different path to peace in the Middle East, the rebalancing on trying to make trade more fair, the rebalancing to try to actually use the resources that we have, the reality that we should have an enforced border, these things are so profoundly obvious and correct that they're trying to find some magical gotcha. But what they're going for is that people who are on drug boats, and they can't prove that they aren't drug boats, that people are on drug boats are getting blown up. this bothers them for reasons

I can't understand. There are hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dead Americans already. Do they give a crap about them? Exactly. I'm into that. We're talking with our friend, Stephen Yates. You can find him on X at Yates' comms, which, you know, gets into that, I guess the ultimatum that Trump

gave to Maduro, you know, flee now or you're going to face American forces. I think he's just, I think he's trying to bluff him. That's kind of my thoughts on that. Are you getting the same? Until I see otherwise, that's what I believe, too. He's always moving the cards. He's always changing up pressure and inducements. And he's almost always looking for ways that you can shape an outcome without having to go to maximum. But he wants people to know and worry that he can and will be ready to go to maximum if called upon. Now, it's hard to, again, I still think that there is enough organization in Venezuela to try to do this on their own. And what we're doing is trying to shape the international. environment favorable to that. Yeah, I agree with that. One quick thing, and then I'm going to move

into this very interesting story, China and Japan. What is going to be the outcome of this? You know, we had Mohammed bin Salman in D.C. And I was reading a piece. This, I think it was over a daily, I was a couple of places, daily mail and elsewhere, because the discussion was behind closed doors. You know, they got along really well, but the president was really apparently pushing the Saudis joining the Abraham Accords. And they still haven't yet. And Salman, you know, it's like he goes up to a point and he's like, yeah, but, and I know a lot of this hinges upon Gaza, which I don't think how you can turn that strip over to the Palestinian Authority when it pretty much been taken over by Hamas anyway. How is this, do you think that the Saudis are ever going to be

brought to see the value in participating in the Abraham Accords? And is this really the start of an actual, you know, real alliance here or like between friends or, I mean, I just have questions. What are your thoughts on this? Well, there will be questions. You know, we obviously have very, very different cultures and histories and different interests in some important areas. The common interest that brought things close to the point of an Abraham Accords-like agreement was that Iran was the number one threat to real peace and prosperity, blooming in the broader Middle East, that it wasn't some kind of appeasement to the terrorists that have taken over the place called Palestine by protesters around the world.

It was that if you're going to get to peace, it's a correlation of power that would balance against the Mullah-led regime in Iran and containing that military threat as well as the political warfare threat. That is where there's the greatest overlap. And when the Saudis see the Emirates and others making real progress in a lot of areas in that way, then there's probably an inducement to move in that direction. They are at least investing hundreds of billions, maybe more than a trillion dollars, eventually in the United States. That's a difference where we used to be dependent on them for oil, and it was kind of a one-way

transfer that way in terms of leverage and power. So we're moving, I think, in the right direction. But this is not going to be easy, and we're probably not going to get permanent change super quick. But broadly speaking, I think the president's impatience is constructive. Think of how far we have come in less than a year on a lot of these accounts. It's more than most administrations do in four or eight years. Yeah, true. Japan's Iron Lady, who we love, we like her, their new prime minister. I read one headline before Thanksgiving saying that she's picking a fight with China. I feel like that's the other way around, if I'm being honest, like she just not

picking a fight. She's responding to the provocation from China, really. But also, this crazy story of flights and this, I was reading about a potential Cold War between, well, the existing Cold War between China and Japan, is China trying to mess with Japan by canceling flights? Because there were like apparently thousands of flights canceled. And I just, I mean, that's low for anybody, not surprising that it's from China. What is your insight on this? Well, China plays games on every level. They play political and cultural warfare like crazy. They have engaged in pretty ferocious political warfare against Japan for a very, very long time. Somehow, the Chinese cannot forget or forgive tens of millions of people killed in World War II seems reasonable on one level until you realize, since World War II, the Chinese have done a fabulously larger job of killing Chinese people on their own, and the Communist Party

of China was singularly responsible for that killing. So they have a blind spot and they don't want anyone to speak about Tiananmen Square in 1989. They don't want people to talk about more recent protests. They don't want to talk about the fate of Muslims in East Turkestan or Tibet's Buddhists that ought to be free and independent. All that stuff can't talk about, but somehow we're going to rake Japan over the coals for World War II forever, even though it is a responsible stakeholder free democracy today. So that is definitely going on, and they will do anything even petty by canceling singers and performers to canceling flights to act as if they are going to use that leverage to make you cow. So far, Prime Minister Takeichi has not had any of it.

There's been leaked stories that Trump put pressure on her, that those have been debunked by the White House and Tokyo, but some fake news are still running with it. She stood strong, and it's good for us that she stays strong. Yeah, the report was saying that it exposed their, those cancellations exposed Japan's tourism fragility, and that 16% of their, apparently 16% reduction with the cancellation. So, yeah, I mean, what can, I mean, obviously Japan could push back and maybe they could cancel their own flights. I don't know. Do they have the means to push back equally? Well, I'd like to see others pick up some slack. I mean, it shouldn't just be Chinese tourists going around and. spreading the filthy loaver that we gave them by unfair trade, that is basically stirring up the tourism and trade industries in our safer and better countries. But I think China basically

has been doing a brilliant job of removing the mask and letting people see who they are. And so the lie that this is all somehow about Taiwan is exposed. The lie that this is all about Trump is exposed. This really is about the nature of the CCP, and it is the largest threat to the global peace and prosperity that exists on the planet today. And it takes a lot to get people to admit it and see it, but it's right there before your eyes. Agreed. Very, very much agreed. Stephen Yates at Yates comes on X. Always a pleasure. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Thank you for your time. And have a great rest of your week. Good to see you. personal time. Subscribe on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcast. So a couple of the

stories that we're going to do a deep dive in tomorrow, or deeper dive rather, is this crazy story from New York Post, where the headline is, Damning Report labels FBI rudderless ship under Cash Patel, with him and talking about FBI being more concerned with building personal resumes. They said him and Dan Bongino are more concerned with building personal resumes. And Miranda Devine wrote this piece and there's a story in there that talks about Patel flying to Utah after Charlie Kirk's assassination and he wouldn't get off the plane unless somebody gave him an FBI ray jacket and he had to borrow a ray jacket from someone and it was a big ordeal. I mean, that is spilling some tea. We're going to talk about this more tomorrow because we ran out of time today. And also this British guy who got in trouble with law in UK because he took a picture with.

gun over here. Today, I know, today in stupidity game. All right, cut 17. It's one of the seditious six, Mark Kelly. Listen, this is the kind of messaging that you only hear from Democrats. Listen to this. When I heard the secretary say that they're going to pause immigration from third world countries, I mean, I take that as a message that they don't want brown people. Oh, they don't want brown people. That's what it is. That's so stupid. Okay. Okay. This guy. he's got a lot of problems that he needs to fix within his own life and his own race or his congressional or his actual yeah he's running for for office he needs to figure that

out before he starts playing the race card uh have a great night i'll be back with you tomorrow
