I came to the conclusion that after I saw what happened, what, 10 days ago or so, when the vote for on the Senate for security of the border, a secured vote in the border, which is what our Republican colleagues desired to happen, they pressed that. And they said, we're not going to vote on any aid until we secure our border. I agreed with him. I think President Biden has been wrong on the border. it's his responsibility, no matter what his reasoning was to maybe help people around the world who have been displaced by the pandemic. But he's come to the table now. He understands the gravity of what we're dealing with and the danger.

And he's willing to accept and he helped negotiate a very good bill that secures the border. What in the ever-loving XYZ is he talking about this whole display? I'm not going to tell you what I said off here. What is this all displaced by the pandemic? What in the ever-loven hell are you talking about, Joe Manchin? I mean, look, sometimes this dude, I kind of, sometimes he does stuff that I don't think is entirely stupid. And then other times he does stuff that I do think is entirely stupid. And I just, I'm trying to figure out what he, what he means and what some of these other cats mean when they say this kind of stuff.

Well, you know, displaced by the pandemic. I don't even know what that means. No one was displaced. We were all stuck in our homes. Is he high? Everyone was stuck in their houses displaced by the pandemic. Is he like talking about cartel stuff? It doesn't even make any sense.

It doesn't make any sense at all. So I don't get this. Either shut the damn border or get out of the way. I'm so tired of having the same. Every damn day I get behind this microphone and it's the same stuff. It is the same stuff day in and day out. Republicans don't know how to message. Democrats are trying to.

trying to outmaneuver Republicans. They're all trying to figure out how they can still quietly fund, fund this stuff with Ukraine, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Meanwhile, you have stuff popping off in sanctuary cities where cops are getting beaten and assaulted regularly. And where's the law and order? You know, the sanctuary cities, the sanctuary, providing sanctuary to these areas. It's just so aggravating. Welcome to the program.

Dana Lash here with you, and it is this top of this first hour here on Tuesday. And we're going to get into some of the border stuff. We have some of the latest stuff with Israel as well. We're going to get into some of the 2024 stuff because I see stuff happening on the right. I see stuff happening on the left. We'll dive into all of it. And then, of course, for some reason, Nikki Haley, I had to do. tell you what I was hearing all day yesterday. And first, it's good to be with you guys. I have to tell you

it's so hysterical because I kept hearing from everybody, Nikki Haley's going to make a, she's going to make an announcement. She's going to make an announcement about South Carolina. She's going to make an announcement about South Carolina. And everyone, I think, just expected her to drop out. I think people were just kind of expecting her to drop out, which she, you know, isn't going to do, I don't think, because now she's saying that, oh, no, many in the GOP are afraid to, you know, they're afraid to criticize the, you know, they're afraid to criticize the, the, you know, former president, et cetera, et cetera, and all of this stuff. And I, I'm, you know, I'm looking at this. Why does she have to have a press conference to announce stuff that we all know?

You're wasting our time. You're wasting my time. Either stay in the race and campaign or get out. I don't care anymore. I think we're all past the point of caring. Right, Kane? We're all past the point of caring. Are you super engrossed in Nikki Haley's speech? No. Were you waiting all day for this? No. Yes, you were.

You know you were. Nope. I just, am I being ignorant? No, Dana, you're not. You're not being ignorant. But I had people who were like, oh, I think Nikki Haley's going to, I think she's going to get out of the race. I think she's going to get out of the race. This is a vendetta.

That's what it is. It's a vendetta. I wouldn't be surprised if Chris Christie's backstage whisper and sweet nothing's of rage to her. it's it's it's it's it's a vendetta for for her so she's she's saying i i'm just i'm just trying to figure out what the whole angle is here i'm the primary i'm already tired of the primary i'm already tired of it aren't you guys because we all started so early and in the meantime did you guys see the latest video of cops getting beaten and another sanctuary city do you guys see it yeah you did of course you did you know that's what sanctuary is i watched a video of ill

immigrants who were being, who were beating police officers yet again. And I was, you know, I was reliably informed that that was a sanctuary city. So I guess that's what that means, right? I guess that's what, you know, all of that means. Sanctuary city means you just have sanctuary from, from the law. They attacked, uh, New York police officers. And they, this was, uh, at a Randalls, this was New York City, Randalls Island. It was a shelter that was for illegal immigrants. So it's a shelter specifically for illegal immigrants. And these cops, I don't know if you've seen this, but they, I mean, they were hit on, they were just getting attacked. Getting attacked. But people came into the country illegally. I was watching this one woman swing her baton like

like it was like it was choreography. But that's, No, and you want to know why we've got such a problem with recruitment. You want to know why we got such a problem with recruitment when it concerns police. The Sanctuary City of New York City. I was reading another story, more hospitals under crunch and other sanctuary cities. I'm a whole bunch of headlines here about this. This is happening in cities all across the United States. Now these cities get a taste of what Texas has had to deal with this entire time.

Now they get a little bit of a taste of it. and they've been diverting, been diverting the, uh, uh, funds, their resources. They say that, well, they have to because, you know, they're, they're just besieged. But y'all didn't care. Y'all didn't send any resources to Texas border towns. Nobody did that. One of the hospitals or one of the headlines I have concerns with rural hospitals, concerns rural hospitals.

They said, uh, all these hospitals serving people are at risk of closing. Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma. They're at the risk of losing these hospitals. Interestingly enough, some of these hospitals are in areas where you've seen an influx in illegal immigration. Other hospitals, we told you last week about Colorado, about Denver's hospitals that are now in the red because of the influx of illegal immigrants coming in. This is, this is, you know, what I'm talking about. There's a limited, resources, resources. I mean, stuff costs.

You can't expect doctors to work for free. I'll never forget. One of the smartest arguments against illegal immigration, it was in a weird spot. I was it was on vacation because I like to fish on vacation we were out had a boat we were out somewhere in the Caribbean and I was we were Turks and Caco before they all shut down though because the vaccine and the pandemic was out in a boat and and I think that there is this definitely amongst the left there is but I think that there is this prevailing viewpoint that oh Democrats have have worked for a really long time to make different identity factors things that people cannot control

to patent those. Like if you're black, then you have to support Democrats. If you're Hispanic, you have to support Democrats. If you're a woman, you have to support Democrats. If you're gay, you have to support Democrats, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. And then when those things are incongruent, when those two variables are incongruent with one another, it's, you know, it can be very, very shocking for some people on the left. And I forget, we were out on a boat and we were talking with the, you know, just the casual captain of this boat, right? We'd have been out fishing. and all this stuff. And this was, I guess, the day after, when I was on the beach, just chilling, you know, having some rum punch. And I saw this boat in the horizon kind of going back and forth and

all of these dudes with like full actual auto stepped out, all kidded out and SWAT gear. And they are right gear. And they stepped out. And they waited for this boat. And I asked one of the guys who was armed, I said, you know, because I think some of the other people on the beach were freaking out. And I asked him, I said, I'm not. I'm not. nervous that you have this. I actually feel a lot better and I'm going to have another run punch but I said I'm just curious as to what y'all are out here for because we've come here you know many years and you know we we got into know the area very well and I've never seen this before and he said well he said that boat out there you see it and I said yeah and he goes that's a

boat full of people who are trying to come onto the island illegally from Haiti and he said there's about 40 or 50 people on that boat and I go wow and it was shocking because it was a rather small boat. And he said, yeah, we can't have that happen. And then as the boat got closer, they went and they detained every single one of them. Well, apparently it was the talk of the island for the whole week. Oh my gosh, the talk of the island. So we're on this fishing boat, and we're talking to the casual captain, because he's very chill. We're talking to this guy. And he said, did you hear about the boat? I go, the boat from Haiti that was coming here yesterday? And he goes, yeah. And I said, I saw that. And I go, we got some of those that come across

the Rio every day. And he goes, oh, I wouldn't stand for that. He goes, you in Texas, Arizona? And I go, we're in Texas. And he goes, I wouldn't stand for that. And the other guy was helping him with the stuff on the boat. He's like, yeah, none of us would stand for that. And I go, well, tell me why you're so, you feel so completely unashamed to say that. And so many Americans are terrified to say that in the United States.

And they said, well, you've got to look at your resources. And he gave me, the facts that he could rattle off the top of his head. And he said, you know, the population of our island, as of last month was, I can't remember what he said. And he goes, and that's the population of people who live here year around day after day. And he said, you know, you got to be very careful with the number of people that come here. We have only so many resources. We have only so much medicine.

We have only so many fish right here in the areas where we're able to fish out of. And he says there's, and he went on this laundry list and he said, you destabilize that. He goes, you don't just destabilize the ecosystem. He goes, you destabilize our resource system. And it was just a great. And I looked at him and I said, my God. gosh, I just want to put you on TV so bad. Mike, because you just explained in the smartest, easiest way that I think even the most remedial progressive would understand.

You just explain why a nation has the right to be able to determine who comes and who doesn't and when and where they enter. And they said, we never, and they both agree, they both could not understand why people in America were so terrified to assert sovereign rights. And they said, you guys are doing this to yourselves. And they had no qualms about saying that at all. I mean, we got, we had the best day. And it makes sense. And they said, they go, a lot of people think that the United States, oh, you can absorb it because you're so much bigger. And he goes, but just as you told me, the boat that we saw on the beach, you get one of those coming, basically the equivalent of that multiple times coming across the Rio every single day, right?

I go, yes. And he goes, that's a greater number. And he goes, at some point, you're going to be at the breaking limit with your resource capability. And I said, that's exactly right. It's the same thing, just difference in numbers. and it just floors me that people in the United States, I don't know what it is,

they think that the United States owes it to people. They think other people, let me clarify, in the United States, owe it to people, but not them. That's why you saw Martha's Vineyard

lose their minds. That's why you see some of these sanctuary areas kind of lose their minds. They think other people owe it. But I just, it was a very enlightening conversation

and we always, we had him, he's since past, that captain's since past, but we've had him take us out on excursions and we go fish and we cook stuff on the beach we just have the best time but we did that for years but i thought that was just the best explanation and they were shocked at whatever is happening

in the psyche of americans that so many are so hesitant to assert that at the border it's true we're uh also going to get into some financial stuff too on the way capital one has purchased discover this is big news we're going to discuss this we got a lot of stuff too hit as we work towards the bottom of the sour and headlines on the way.

This is interesting. Abraham Lincoln pardoned Biden's great-great-grandfather. So they come by all their stuff honestly, I guess, you know, all the criminality, honestly. His great-great-granddad got a pardon from Abraham Lincoln in 1864, according to the Washington Post. The name Moses Johnson Robinette, he was convicted of stabbing a fellow Union Army employee, John J. Alexander, a civilian brigade wagon master. He was confronted because he allegedly made an inappropriate comment about a female cook in the mess shanty. Of course he did.

And so they got into a tussle and he stabbed the dude. So there you go right there. I mean, it runs in the family. Anybody surprised? No, there you go. A man assuming McDonald's over a slice of cheese that he says nearly killed him, but admits that he still eats there. Charles Olson said he placed his usual order with the fast food giant through DoorDash in February 21, included no American cheese on his burger.

He bit into the burger, he had an anaphylactic reaction, took himself to the hospital, etc., etc. If you're that, I'm just going to say something unpopular. He's got a severe milk allergy. First off, why didn't you look at your sandwich before you've been into it? dummy. Number one. Number two, if you could die because you eat cheese, maybe get your happy ass to McDonald's and pick up your burger yourself because it's not like DoorDash has the best track record. You know what I'm saying? I mean, is this about your life or are you really willing to risk it

for a biscuit of a payout? I'm curious. I can't stand stories like this. Some people are literally walking Darwin experiments for thinning the herd. They really are. And I mean every syllable. A man was mauled to death by a lion named Dana. No, I'm kidding. A man was mauled to death by a lion because he intentionally jumped into the zoo enclosure in India. Okay,

well, the lion got a snack then. It's not the lion's fault. You entered his house. It was a no-knock raid, man. You entered his house. And then you're going to be shocked that he ate you. If anything happens to that lion, that lion's going to be the new harambe. That's all I know, man. All I know. And

a Hawaiian governor proposes a $25 climate tax on tourists so that he can destroy his state's tourism industry, the number one industry in the state. Yeah, we got a lot more on the way.

I wish Michael was here today. And I wish our children. And I could see him tonight, but we can't. He's serving on the other side of the world where conflict is the norm. Where terrorists hide among the innocent. Where Iran's terrorist proxies are now attacking American troops. This is Michael's second deployment. It was hard for us to say goodbye to him the first time when he deployed to Afghanistan.

It was even harder last summer. I don't like it when he deployed to... I don't like crying. Does that mean to say... I don't care. I don't care. I don't care. You know why?

Because I just don't care. Welcome back to the show. Dana Lash here. Can listen coast to coach. You can watch the video portion of the simulcast. RBF is in. Coming in full mode. today, y'all.

Can watch the, like I said, the video portion, Channel 347 DirecTV, YouTube, the discussion there, always hot, Facebook, all good stuff. And that was Nikki Haley just moments ago. I saw people on social media going, oh, why is she fake

crying and all this stuff? I am just weirded out by like public crying. Don't think I mean. I grew up in a very dramatic family that will deny it, but y'all know you did it very dramatic family oh my gosh and so i my number one pet peeve is over dramatic people it's made it to where i recoil almost violently when i see it can't stand drama i can't stand

you know contrived emotional theater i just i'm allergic and i'm not trying to be ignorant i don't know maybe she didn't get enough sleep i don't know but that was nicky haley giving her speech. She led everyone to think that she's like dropping out or something for South Carolina. And then she comes down. She's like, ha, no. So we get to slap fight over this, you know, for another couple of weeks. But she's crying when she's talking about her husband. And I think even if it's your spouse, and I get it, the whole family serves. But sometimes, and I've had people tell me this. And by the way, the people that I've had tell me this are my friends who are wives of active duty or wives of retired military members.

And they're the ones who said this. They're just like, yeah, there's a line. You don't want to come off like your, and they're not mean about it. They're just like you don't want to come off like you're borrowing your spouse's service. Like, yes, the whole family serves, but let's not pretend it's the same as what your spouse is doing, going literally into combat. It's, you know, and as they've told me, and they're like, you just got, you just got to be, got to be careful that you don't look at you're borrowing it.

And that's just what they've told me. And I thought, that was the first time I've really heard it put that way. That makes some really good sense. I get, I understand the perception of it. And I think that, especially with family members of those who are in the military, I think that they're a little bit more, they have a little bit more insight into that. And it hits differently for them. But I don't know why she's fake crying.

And is it fake crying? It just sounded like, to me, that you've, were, it's off character for her. It's off character. You don't have got to cry to make yourself look vulnerable or to try to endear yourself to people. You don't have to do that. I don't know. It just, I don't, it just seemed very theatrical and, and, you know, here's the, you know, we're having this big speech and you thought I was going to drop out and I'm not, et cetera. I don't know, it just, it just was just odd. It just, and then I think, well, if she, you know, if she, she feels this strongly about it, then why is she one of those Republicans that wants to get us

into further conflict? Right? So that's the disconnect that I have. And she does. This is my big, this is honestly my biggest objection with her, is that is foreign policy. Because I, and she's been on the program before. And I'm not, I, you know, personally, I'm not saying it's anything personal. I don't take politics personally. But, you know, sadly, there are a lot of people out there in politics that just don't have the, you know, the personal strength to approach it the same. But I just don't understand if you're that upset over it. Why would then you take the steps to further entangle the U.S. in any kind of escalated tension?

That doesn't make sense to me. Why would you push this lie that, oh, my gosh, they're going to take, what's going to happen is Russia's going to take over Ukraine. And then from Ukraine, you know, right there, you're bordering against some NATO states. And then they're going to go from there to, well, they're already border. NATO states. We've talked about this endlessly. And? I mean, and some of those

states would actually probably be a little bit easier for them to take over. I mean, look at Latvia and Estonia. I mean, hi. I don't know. It's just I just reject all these arguments with this. I don't know. The whole thing is, the whole thing hits me weird. But she says

she's staying in the race. She's staying in and she just got a big infusion to cash because she came through and was fundraising in Texas with some establishment folks. She says, South Carolina votes on Saturday. She says Sunday, I'll still be running for president. I'm not going to go anywhere. I just, I don't know. I think she goes to Super Tuesday and then that's it. I just can't. That's why I say this is going to be a slap fight for a few more weeks.

I just don't, or a couple more weeks. I just don't see her. She'll stay in after South Carolina, but I don't see her going past Super Tuesday unless she thinks she's going to push through to the convention and then have a force of vote on the floor, have a split convention. And unless she thinks that's what she's, that's the, that's the goal. I mean, you just, um, Lorraine notes, because Lorraine's husband served, and she says, as the wife of a veteran, his service is not mine. I didn't serve my country. I did what I had so he could. It's not the same. Lorraine, as you know, moderates the YouTube discussion and she is a contributor over at chapter and first. And see, that's the point.

That's what I hear so much from, and it's all from families of those who were either active duty or who did serve. And it makes sense. It makes a lot of sense. It's a very good point. Now, last night I was on Jesse Waters' program to discuss the question of why is it that the press isn't out and about out front with the identities and the names of the juveniles who were arrested because of the people.

their involvement in the Kansas City parade shooting. Two juveniles, they said. And I've seen all these anti-gun groups go out and say, oh my gosh, we need stronger gun laws. Now, law enforcement specifically used the term juvenile. Juvenile has a legal connotation. It means someone who is a minor, someone who is not 18 years old, someone who is still considered a child. Those people are not eligible. Those people are not eligible legally to purchase and or carry the handguns that were used in the shooting at the Kansas City Parade. Furthermore, Kansas City has other restrictions about the carrying of firearms, specifically within its city limits, but I digress. But we didn't know a lot about it, and I was listening to this mayor, Quentin Lucas, who is the mayor of Kansas City. And he was saying that

that this is, you know, it's the reason he was out there saying that you can't, you can't call them thugs because that's that's racist to call them thugs. He said that was a he was going after the governor, Mark Parsons of Missouri. He was going after the governor saying that it was racist to call them thugs. Audio sound by at one, listen to this. He says it's a racial dog whistle. Oh boy. He's going to join us later on in this program. After the shooting, he said we can't let some thugs and criminals just take over and ruin what happened. I gather that's not quite your assessment of what happened that day? I have respect for the governor. We get along well. I disagree strongly with how he would describe that situation. I certainly do think this was criminal activity, it was

lawlessness, and I think that that's troubling. But thugs is a dog whistle in the most classic sense, and I have seen this dog whistle time and again. There's this kind of giant conservative theory on social media now, but the reason that munk shots haven't been shown is because the purported defendants are black, and if it were a white defendant, we would have just shown them. That is absolutely preposterous. There are protections to juveniles. Our city has a gun violence problem. Well, your city actually saw a fallen homicide rate, actually slightly, slightly increased homicide rate, but plus 7 percent compared to St. Louis's reduction by almost 20 percent because of the different approaches and different enforcement. But that being said,

this idea that it's a racial dog whistle is stupid. It's a Hindu word, number one, where its roots are. Number two, it's synonymous with criminal. Number three, are we supposed to call them honor students studying for science camp? I mean, what the hell are you talking about here? And number four, he says that their identities haven't been released because of their minors. Tell that, this is the point I made yesterday on Waters' program. Tell that to Kyle Rittenhouse, who was 17 years old, and he was in legal possession of a firearm that he was legally allowed to have, and he defended himself against a kid toucher and against a woman beater, both, who had records of conviction,

and he defended himself because they were trying to kill him a child. And people immediately, not only did they release his identity, but the press went out and was lying and saying that he shot black people when there actually weren't a lot of black people at that riot, which was kind of interesting.

If you look at the countless photos that exist still on this thing that we call the internet today. You could also talk about that little kid. Who's that little kid that was at the Chiefs game? They ended up suing, was it Deadspin? Yeah. Remember the little nine-year-old kid? Half his face was red, half his face was black, and he was dressed up because he loves the Kansas City Chiefs. And what happened? The press named him, went after him, and tried to ruin his life, thus the lawsuit that his family's engaged in right now against deadspin. So don't sit here and tell me that it's because they're minors. It's because their narrative is incongruent, because the truth is incongruent with the narrative that you try to push out there. That's why. So absolutely, they're completely protecting their identities. This is not even up for discussion. This is just God's honest. fact. End. And it's

asinine that he sits here and goes, oh, well, you know, he trots out this racial deflection and says we have a gun violence problem. He's hiding behind the racial deflection because Quentin Lewis doesn't want to have to explain why is it that in a city that has been run by Democrats longer than I've literally been on earth, this city has been run. Kansas City has had Democratic leadership year after year longer than I've been alive. Why has that not translated into economic prosperity? Why has that not translated into strong families?

Why has that not translated into opportunities for the people of Kansas City? Why has that not translated into a great business environment? Why has that not translated into lower crime? Why has that not translated into being able to go to a parade and not worry about two teenagers whipping out illegally possessed, illegally obtained handguns and shooting people?

Like Sands through the Hourglass, So are the days of the United States. Because I know history, and Putin will not stop at Ukraine. If we don't have to. Putin's getting paranoid, and Trump is saying that he's going to pull out of NATO. These are allies. We were all in this together in World War II. And now he's going to pull out of this outrageous.

She knows history, though. Joy, what's her face? Joy, Behar, whatever, one of the joys. Joy, joy, joy, joy. Joyless. From the Vio. Wow, can you imagine? Don't have her help you.

with your homework. No. Oh, we were all in this together after World War II. Literally it came after World War II and NATO was in direct response to increase Russian aggression. That's what it was. The United States formed a clique with a bunch of other countries. That's how that worked. Good night.

I mean, they teach this stuff in high school. I don't know. Maybe she doesn't have any more room in her head for knowledge because she's focused on being some miserable and bitter. I don't know. I'm just saying. I've done the view a few times and she's a, been out every single time I was there so she's the only one that I actually never met in person

this is back before when they still had like better actual more B-list cast members instead of these people whose names I don't even know but she was never there that's when they had like Jenny McCarthy on and and Jenny McCarthy was was she was very nice and I I always whenever I see people but get mean about her I always defend her because I'm like she's nice and she didn't have to be but who is it Sherry Shepard I think was still? No, I think one time I was there I think she'd already left. I think it was like right after she left. But I never met Joy. Joy was

never there. I never met her. So I don't actually know if she's nice in person or not. But I do know that she does not seem to be very brushed up on history. Right? I think we can all say that with some confidence. How do you just go on TV and just say that stuff?

They have a whole team of producers there. You know this, right? Like none of these chicks ever got, they don't even got to do anything. They literally show up and what happens is they hand you one they're sitting in makeup. There's one big giant makeup room. Everybody has their own chair. They're a little mirror. Everybody shows up. You go and you sit and then they hand you, producers hand you your stack of stuff. They don't even ask their own questions. Producers print out the question and they put it on a sticky and then they put that on an

index card. And so you get questions. And I know that, you know, a lot of production, a lot of shows do that where you have producers hand you stuff. But I mean, you don't even, you don't even, unless you were like Barbara or Whoop, you don't get to ask a follow-up. You have to read exactly what's on the cue card. You have to ask that exact question. There's no thought involved in it. You show up and it's basically the producers using you as a vessel to do the show. So it's like Biden when he gives speeches.

Exactly. Exactly. It's just like that. And I've done a lot of commentary and I've done stuff with HBO, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, you know, Fox, every CNN, everything. That network or that show in particular is the only one that was overproduced to that degree.

Like if you didn't know about the, it didn't matter if you didn't know about the topic. It doesn't matter. They'll hand you, they give you a packet on exactly what you're going to be talking about and background information and anything else they think that might come up and you look at it.

You might get a little cue card with some helpful notes on it before you go out and then you've got producers in your ear that'll whisper stuff to you the whole thing. time. So there's, there's no chance of messing up. That sounded like a team effort, what she just said. That's why it's shocking when I see people get, and I know the behind the scenes production, and I see people get things so monstrously wrong. That's, that's wild. And by the way, NATO expanded under the previous administration. Like it or not, it expanded. And then Finland, the pathway for

Finland to join last April was paved. That was a process that began some years ago. And that was the easternmost expansion of NATO. Because Finland even extends a little bit beyond Estonia, which is north of Latvia, towards Russia. So the northernmost and eastern most. So we got a lot more on the way, including trans issues, 24. Andy McCarthy will join us in our third hour. Lots of stuff still on deck.

because every form of music in America was stolen from black people. Rock and roll, jazz, blues, country, pop music. So if you have a problem with cultural appropriation, y'all created classical music. Y'all could have stuck with that.

Yes, you know, because when I think of Slayer, my first thought is, wow, why did, why was that appropriated? You know what? Honestly, though, there are some metal. No, I know. In living color, high. That's a whole, or living color.

I mean, that was very orchestral. orchestral. Orchestral. So yeah, you know, there's appropriation everywhere if you dig deep enough. Well, it's not appropriation. It's appreciation. So this broad, who the hell is this chick? I don't even know. She's so, I saw the sound bite and I was like, what? If I have to, if I can spare myself from talking about 20, 24 a little bit with the stupidity, then I will.

First off, welcome back to the show. Dana Lash here, top of the second hour. And it's good to be with you. You can listen Coast to Co-Co. Stream the radio show in your neck of the woods. also as well, watch the video component of it. Channel 347 direct TV, YouTube, Facebook, all that good stuff. This chick is with, oh, I know, I know she's like apparently, well, I don't know. I read that she's with the Daily Show. I don't watch the Daily Show because it's not funny. And I just find it to be brain dead and boring and yawn. I'm just, ugh. Everybody has a,

everybody has an axe to grind. But she's apparently somebody with that. I don't know. And I don't care. Don't fill me in on everything else because I won't read it and I'll press delete. TL too long didn't read. Anyway, so she was saying that all the, first off, that's stupid, number one, number two, if we really want to do this, do we really want to do this? Do we really want to go this far? Because appropriation is appreciation and everybody takes from everybody.

I mean, I don't even know why. Why did this conversation with them even come up? Don't answer. It's probably something stupid. right the left has been trying to work themselves into the belief that people are upset that bianca's coming out with a country music album nobody cares nobody cares it's not a new thing hi i love these people that think that history began the day that they exited their mama's womb but i'm going to tell you something y'all need to be googling yourself some charlie pride okay y'all need to be googling yourselves

a lot of people if i'm being honest good night i i don't get it it's just mind blowing so So anyway, they were sitting here saying that all this is from it. It's appreciation, not appropriation. And if we're going to go by that line, then I guess don't use the internet if you're not, if don't use the internet and supercomputers and that if you're not gay and British. Don't do it. Just saying, don't drink pasteurized milk unless you're French. Do we really want to do this?

This is so stupid. Stop it. Shut up. Gosh. Oh, ah. It's all an unwitting argument intentionally. It's all it is. It's not even an argument.

It's just some dumb bra, sharing a stupid opinion. That's what I mean. They create the argument that's unwitting. It's not an argument. You're right. But it's only meant to divide. It's only going to get more stupid from here. There is no reason to continue to engage in this at all.

Why does the geek coming up? Because it's meant to divide. That's their only goal. Division. Who sits there and things to that stuff? Is she mad about Elvis? You realize that there was like a thing kicking off at the time where a lot of people were marrying blues and country.

and jazz and all this stuff together, right? How many, I mean... I'm so tired of this. I hate everything. We both have been in the world of, you know, just our lives surrounded by musicians. That's just the way it's been. Black and white. There was never been some sort of, you know,

line of demarcation marked because of race that never, ever, ever came up. If she says, what's her name brought on Daily Show? No, I don't care. That's what she's called. know. If she really believes that all music was stolen from her culture, please, I beg you, take back Green Day. Indulge me for a moment. The one of the worst bands, first off, and everybody who's listened to the show for a little bit of time knows every now and then I go off on this.

One of the worst beans I've ever heard. I, it is literally the attempt to polish a turd and put it out sonically defined, manifest into meat space. It actually is. Their first album, didn't you think they were British, because they faked a British accent, they tried to act like they were British punk the whole time. And that wasn't totally horrific, but it was just, you know, it had catchy chord progression in the chorus. But it was basic, it was basic, like punk, like not, don't think too hard stuff. It wasn't anything mind-blown. It wasn't anything enlightening. And since then, pop punk is not punk. They are literally the establishment. And I'm so tired of hearing some

60-year-old dude out there, bitching a moan about the establishment that he's part of. Well, he's horribly playing power cords in a dimly lit subway station. Stop it. Nobody cares. Oh my gosh, it makes me want to cringe. It makes me cringe. It makes my, you're killing punk. Stop it.

If anybody wants to make fake arguments about appropriation, Green Day appropriated punk. Yeah, they did. There's a strong argument for that. They appropriated the British accent with their first album that they released and what, 95, 96? Yeah, they totally did. I mean, we could sit here and do this all dang day. Let's talk about some other people that are horrible.

Anyway, my whole point is that appreciation is not appropriation. No one's stealing something and not, I mean, this is, first off, you have to understand artistry, and I guess you don't. This chick does, this broad does not understand artistry. This female does not understand artistry. There's, it's, it's, that is how art works. It's particularly music. everybody inspires everybody else and they go i'm just so gosh i'm so tired of the forever forever victimization

stop it i'm just done uh now the uh couple of other things to hit because we were we've we were talking about the immigration stuff we've been talking about uh in addition to that the uh latest of the kansas City shooting as well. The shooting that took place in Minnesota, we pull this up. I mentioned this. I don't know, I think we ran out of time last night to bring it up on Fox. Because I saw this and the Kansas City thing used kind of interchangeably as a way to argue against firearm ownership.

Did you guys hear the update about the three, the two police officers and the paramedic that was killed in Minnesota? they responded to a domestic abuse call over the weekend. A lot of people were all talking about the guy who, you know, the guy who did it. Oh, where did he? Is this gun violence, et cetera, et cetera? Have you noticed how that storage has completely just disappeared into the ether? There's a reason why.

So the dude who shot and killed, who shot at these first responders and this cop killer, this dude was a repeat offender, a violent offender. He was also a prohibited possessor. He was a convicted domestic violence abuser. And he had a protective order against him again, which is why police were responding because he was beaten up his baby mamas. He was beaten up the women in his life. His ex-girlfriend, with whom he shares children,

he used to whoop on her all the time. And he was doing this stuff with these kids in his house. He also made all these stupid videos where he talked about shooting and killing people. I mean, he just ridiculous. This guy didn't have a mental illness. This guy was a jack wagon. That's all there is to it. So they had, he had not one, but two protection orders against him.

One for domestic abuse. One for domestic assault. He already had domestic assault convictions. And he tried to get his gun rights restored, but apparently he was too much of a hot-tempered mess. And the judge said, no. you got a violent record you're a repeat offender you go out and you beat women senselessly all the time you got all these convictions on your record no we're not gonna restore we're not that's what the judge said and then he shoots and shoots a cop killer this is this is why this story totally disappeared from the press you're not hearing about it anymore for a reason that is exactly why you're not hearing about it at all because of that he was prohibited from owning or possessing any type of firearm at all whatsoever two police officers and a firefighter and then this this criminal killed himself

well at least he did us that service right so we didn't have to waste the money of a bullet on him sad thing is his kids were right there who knows what all those kids have seen i watched an interview that local media did with the with the with the ex it felt a little exploitative which is why i didn't want to play it on air. I watched it though and she was just broken up and beside herself and she looked like a woman who's been through it and she was saying I was trying to do everything I could, you know, to protect my kids and, you know, she, because I read he'd beat up on her in front of those kids all the time and he fought her in court and apparently him and his friends apparently beat up on her. And she was saying that some of the friends that had punched her in the face and had abused her

that he of his he they put on the stand in court to testify against her to try to get custody of her kids he didn't the dad didn't get full custody of him but she had to share him with him but he he was very very violent had all these convictions on his record for and not just against her apparently he is assaulted numerous women and seven kids inside the home two ages two to 15 but i was watching this video of her and she was shaky she was in tears and she was just like a deer in headlights God lover. She just didn't, she didn't know what to do. And you could tell, the reporter was being, you know, very kind with her and just ended the questioning. It was a very short thing. But it was heartbreaking to see that. It was very heartbreaking. And she was poor. She didn't, she, you know, didn't have, she didn't have any

protection. And she didn't have any illegal protection. She couldn't afford to fight him in court the way he was going to her. And this guy tried to get his, he, look, I tell you, these, he got himself before police responded and could take care of him. This is why this disappeared. The left can't talk about it. God, golly, how much you won't bet he's a Democrat. Never fails. Never, ever

fails. Just wild. We have more on the way. We got headlines coming up and Andy McCarthy is going to be joining us in our third hour to go through some of this legal mumbo jumbo. We got some 2024 stuff as well because the left

has got to maintain outrage, but the right has been using, started using outrage as the get-out-the-vote mechanism. There's some new surveys out showing, well, we all know from previous surveys that that has a short lifespan outrage. And in order to re-ignite it, you've got to do something more outrageous than before. The right needs to be very careful about using that as a get-out-the-vote mechanism. Also, here's a phrase that we've got to talk about, glow-stick attack. And yet another assault on police officers, can you look public? I'm puzzled. Glow stick attack. Uh-huh.

I don't understand. Yep, we're going to discuss it. We got a lot to hit. Hi, I'm Adriana, a politics major at Hillsdale College. Here's Hillsdale President, Dr. Larry Arne, with a Constitution Minute. America's founders recognize an obvious fact of life. Human beings differ in terms of physical attributes and talents. Because of this, some people will be better at some things than they are at others. But they also recognize that the tall and the short among us, the swift and the slow among us,

are still human beings if we are recognizable as human beings, and therefore we are equal in terms of the rights that pertain to human beings, rights attached to human nature, rights that come from God. The Declaration of Independence names three of the big ones, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Exercising these rights is necessary if we are to be truly free. In our own time, many influential people believe that only government can decide what our rights should be. This is dangerous, understanding our rights and how the Constitution protects them.

is vital to our freedom. To learn more and get a free pocket constitution, visit constitutionminute.com. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Guys, I got bingo. I got bingo already. Here it is.

El Choppos' granddaughter, 18, joins the hunt for the Loch Ness Monster while in Scotland. I didn't have... You had that? I didn't have that. I just threw a bunch of stuff on a car and I was like, this is never going to happen. And now I got bingo. What do I win? Nothing. You win nothing. You will own nothing. You'll eat bugs. And you win nothing.

That's what happens. But for real. She, her dad, her dad is one of his kids, obviously. And she's been in Scotland, and now she went to a Johnny Walker whiskey tasting. And now she's apparently on a boat trip looking for Loch Ness. Okay. You should probably dump some of them Fast and Furious guns in there, too. I'm just saying, I don't know who said that. That wasn't me. also such a weird

Jeff Landry has the governor of Louisiana has declared a state of emergency because of a police officer shortage a severe one he says it's severe they have a major shortage of police

across the state he said that it's affecting everything from new employees they can hire payroll increases everything good job love good job severe severe shortages and emergency

apparently if people People live in this valley and they follow five distinct diet and lifestyle habits. Apparently they live for a really long time. And it means you got to go. I'm going to try to say this. It is the Avgark village. So it's like, is this an Hindu Kush located far north of Pakistan?

I don't think so. But anyway, they said life expectancy there for some reason is like a hundred years. And they eat apricot seeds and oil, tons of oil, tons of oil, tons of air. apricot seeds. That's like apparently part of their like every meal they have. And every traditional Hunzai dish includes apricot oil.

And locals use hand run machines. Used to it was all made by hand. Now they use hand run machines. And I watched a video about this after I saw this headline because you put this in here. And I was like, what? That's a real. Now I'm like interested in harvesting kernels from

apricots. They said that all of the dried versions of the fruit help with altitude sickness. They have apricot soup. They cook all the food with the oil. Even the meat. Even the meat is with apricot oil. That actually sounds very interesting. They also never stop moving

and they drink glacier water. It's called punza water. And it's filtered through layers of ice and rock and apparently it contains and it's like a milky looking. That's what they drink that. And they don't eat processed food. So I need to get some glacier water

and apricot seeds. This is what I'm hearing. An Alaska man was cited because he harassed a moose. Well, yeah, don't be a jack wagon. This guy harassed a young moose. He chased it in his four-wheeler. This dude's a jerk. So he got cited for doing it.

Scared the poor thing, half to death. Leave it alone. By the way, moose are huge. And its parents are probably around there somewhere. Let's see, this, an Omaha zoo found 70 coins inside of this alligator's stomach. You know, they're not wishing. Welles. Apparently they will eat them, but they actually had to do routine health checks. They put that gator into surgery and they found 70 coins in this 36-year-old alligator's stomach. So they

successfully retrieved them. Good heavens. All right. Coming up, glow stick attack, law and order, immigration, culture, and more.

Are you ready? Yes, sir.

Well, I'm looking for it. I'm looking at you. We're looking to you. It gets confused. He goes over. Why does his hands are always like up here? Joe Biden he's going to California and they're like are you and a reporter goes are you coming up with a plane B for 24 does Gavin need to stand by? And Biden goes, are you ready? Well, I'm looking for. I'm looking at you. We're looking at you. I think he just almost let something slip about Gavin News and being his VP. Did you? Hmm. I think that he let that slip. Hmm. Welcome to the show. Dana Lash here with you.

at the bottom of this first hour. I feel like, I just say it, I feel like it's, that's what that sounded like, right? Wait, am I looking too much into this? Everybody keeps going, it's Michelle Obama. No, it's not. Stop it. It's not her. Yeah, I've even said that before.

But I think we've seen so much cognitive issues over the past few months with Biden that it's believable that he's just confused and didn't really hear the question that Allen is just doing his Biden thing. Well, I think that they were asking him about Newsom, and I think he almost said, well, I'm looking for a good VP or something. I think he almost gave it up. It kind of looks like that, but that's what I think. Enough room for doubt.

Oh, I don't think so. I think it's, what you say is enough room for doubt. I say is enough to beg the question. Because I'm a positive person, Kane. Potato tomato. I'm an optimist on this one thing. Just because I want to see the fight. just just because I just I just want to see the fight that's all I want I just want I just want to see it I I I'm telling you I've it really I feel like that's the move they're going to have Gavin B Gavin B Gavin will be the VP and then they're going to do a switch O Trado and then maybe they'll be like oh Kamala you can come back and continue to be VP because you were VP and no one's going to no one's going to object to that they're going to okay all right whatever I mean he's going to California so is you going there for the border?

no no he's going to go there to raise money and look at Gavin that's that's see that is a way to shut all those people up neutralize for him but then it's also beneficial for Newsom's camp and the people that want Biden now because then they can easily switch oh change oh I'm calling it now calling it now because Kamala they've where is she it's like she's going out of her own volition to do these events. Have you seen it?

She haven't gone out to do anything with Joe. They haven't done any kind of, you know, nothing. Isn't it weird? I swear I'm not looking too much into this. It's odd to me, though. I'm going to call, I'm going to say that that I think is, I think that that's the case. I think that's the case of it.

Hmm. Now, he's apparently, oh boy. well I'm sure there's going to be a lot of really good a lot of very good video that comes from that I think if anything that there is uh if they have any kind of joint event Gavin Newsom's got to look more presidential and basically just stand there and be normal next to Joe Biden because anybody can look like sentient compared to Joe Biden at that point oh my goodness all right a couple of other things. Did you all see this video? Let me pull this up. It's this video of a dude. This is at Kip Academy. It's in Massachusetts. And this is a basketball game. And this dude at Kip Academy was

playing basketball with on a girl's team as a girl. The crazy thing is that the team had a forfeit because another girl got very badly injured by a dude who identifies as a chick. It's the Kip Academy girls team. They got a dude. He's legit got facial hair on his face. This is some of the

some of the video. Somebody took a video of the screen of the The KIP officials refused to to confirm the player's gender identification. That's what Massachusetts, their local media had said. So it's the

Kip Academy, the collegiate charter school of Lowell in Massachusetts forfeited its February 8th game against Kip at halftime. And the coach decided to end his game as his roster was getting depleted four days before playoffs at the school. And it shows this dude. He's got a ponytail and facial

hair. And he's bigger than all the other chicks. He has, he goes after a ball that's in the hands of an opposing player, rips it out of her hands and takes her to the ground. He's, he's six foot plus facial hair. And he literally wrestled it out of her hands and threw her to the ground. She had trouble getting up. She actually was legitimately injured. And if you, this is good heaven. So the healthy players were afraid of getting injured and not being able to compete in the playoffs. So they were really worried about this. And the school wouldn't actually come out and say that they believe it's the dude who treats the female team like a JV roster,

whether or not that was the reason that the other team had forfeited. The other team did when its players getting hurt. I mean, I'm shocked by this. you see the video how he wrestled that out of her hands came i mean he just knocked her to the ground i mean anybody seeing this anybody advocating for this is being intellectually disingenuous in their arguments they're trying to somehow negate the actual safety of these women to usher in some sort of you know woke ideology that you're bigoted if you're if you're pointing out factual data in this realm.

It's sad, and it's a shame that our media is so garbage that they're continuing to perpetuate this. I keep watching this over and over again. I mean, this dude, when he grabbed the ball from her and she wouldn't let go, I mean, he, that was malicious. He was being a bee. He has facial hair. And they can't get Kip to confirm his gender identity. Well, let's see. He's a well over six foot.

He's got facial hair and a penis. I don't know. it's anyone's best guess. They, I'm just like shocked. Like, I keep watching this. He, I mean, that's abusive.

That wasn't just tense play. That wasn't just grappling over the ball. That was him being a jerk and him being, I'm a dude and I'm going to use my strength to throw you to the ground.

That's exactly what that was. So now you have women and they didn't want to play, they don't want to play against this team. Because apparently he's very physical. He's very physical. And I read another article where it said that wasn't the first time something like that's happened. There are women who are getting injured from trans players. The, I think the last one that was on video, because there was a report

that came out. There was one that was on video. It was a volleyball player. She sued because she got spiked in the head by a male player. player. And it gave her concussion. Knocked her right out on the court. Knocked her right out. She said that she was injured by this trans athlete. It all happened on video. I feel bad for these, I feel bad for these female athletes. Peyton McNabb, she got spiked in the face by a dude who was treating the women's volleyball team as a JV league. And she still has impaired vision. She's not even able to, she wasn't able to compete in play her final season. it's affected her she got hit so hard in the head

there was a field hockey injury a male athlete on a girls high school field hockey team again in massachusetts this was just last year it was a game between swamp scott and dieton uh how do you say is it rohoboth yeah in Delaware a player lifted a ball in the air while taking a shot on the goal the ball hit the player on the opposing team right in the face

The girls screamed out. I mean, it broke her face. This is just crazy. There are so many stories of this. There was a report that came out. A 28-page report that showed how women and girls are suffering dislocations.

They are suffering broken bones because they're having to compete against much bigger, much heavier, much more muscular, male athletes cosplaying as women. It was a group called Fair Play for Women. They released a 28-page, well, well-evidenced report. During a judo tournament, a six-foot plus man, who is super heavy, broke a woman's finger

and dislocated the shoulder of another during a judo tournament. And a rugby team, female rugby players were forced to share an open shower with a male teammate who still has all his bits and is attracted to women, but just identifies as a woman. One athlete at a school received numerous death threats and had to quit all sports because she raised concerns about competing against men much bigger and stronger than her who are cosplay as women. A 13-year-old girl was removed from her soccer team as goalkeeper, and that position was given to a boy identifying as a girl. A rowing team One university rower

Was forced to share changing rooms With a man who identified as a woman And another teammate was asked to share Overnight accommodation with him I mean I there's a That goes on and on and on and on Cyclists Runners

Soccer players Rugby Rowing Volleyball Basketball It goes on and on And on This is

this is a legitimate, serious thing. So how many more? I mean, there's all of these, there are all of these teams, all of these athletes coming forward. I mean, I, boxers, good heavens. Because now, isn't that what the Olympics are looking at?

They're ending women's sports. And this isn't about being accepted. This is, see again, this is another reason, that I disagree with Nikki Haley on because remember back when she was on video saying this stuff, where she had said that, you know, well, the government shouldn't get involved with the bathroom thing. That's when they were looking at having this bathroom ordinance. And she said that, oh, it should be between, you know, it's between the parents and their family and their doctor,

etc. talking about, you know, unnecessary medical surgeries for trans. And she says, oh, this is, you know, you don't want to invite big government to get involved in this. Big government's already involved in this. I wrote a whole piece about this over at Substack, chapter and verse. This is what I'm talking about. You have women who are having their health altered permanently, women who are losing opportunities, women who are being removed from sports teams, women who are being physically injured. We're talking broken bones, not hurt feelings here. So this goes beyond big government. They've already made their say in it. This is just shocking. But that video is something else. I don't know. I got to tell you all. I don't know how, because I'm a loud parent with sports. So when my, one of my kids ran

cross country, I ran cross country in track and was, went to state and all that stuff when I was in school. And one of my kids ran cross country. This is the type of parent I am. I would go to the hardest parts of the map and I'd hide in the bushes or the weeds or something whenever. I'd see my kid coming around getting slow. It's when I'd pop up. Because, you know, those are the parts, and I know, because they used to run this stuff, those are the parts that you kind of, you relax on a little bit. And then when people are there and they're watching, then you speed up and you, you get your normal stride back. Oh my gosh. I would like went everywhere. I got a wagon with like big wheels and I'd like cart around the other kid. Oh man, it was something. We're a loud parent. I don't know how

anybody could be watching their kids playing. If that was my daughter that had gotten ripped to the ground like that, I would have beat his ass. Oh my gosh. It would have been on camera. I would have flown down to that court like a spider monkey. And I would have beaten him within an inch of his life. That boy may be six feet something plus, but I am meaner. My meanness offsets that. I'd have beat him to death on the court. There's no way that would have happened because what he did was malicious. That is ignorant.

Now that girl, she had to literally go to the hospital. It wasn't for show. It wasn't for theater. It wasn't to try to play at victimhood. I mean, did you see how hard her head hit the floor? Good night. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man.

A Florida man gave his grandfather a glowing eulogy, weeks before he was arrested for his murder. Joshua Naro was charged with second-degree murder in his grandfather, James Corey's death. Weeks after he gave this great eulogy at his funeral, and he was put behind bars because he shot and killed him. They said that the 23-year-old talked about his 71-year-old grandfather to a room of mourners. But then the Charlotte County Sheriff's Department, they had considered him a suspect. They came, they got the evidence, and they arrested him on second-degree murder charges. He was sent to jail without bail, according to the department. They found evidence at the scene to tie him to committing the murder.

And a lot of forensics evidence, apparently. He was shot and killed at 515 in the morning, and his wife called police. They didn't have witnesses. They didn't have security cameras or anything like that. But they ended up getting, they got the phone data from Nero's phone and showed that he had walked from his grandparents home to his own, like at the exact same time, all of it. But it was a seven-week investigation and they finally got it. Can you imagine? My gosh, that's just, this is crazy.

This was actually kind of funny. This woman, they said, woman driver, there's a joke here. They said, a Florida woman fled a traffic stop and the police. said it was like the start of the Daytona 500. Stafford County Sheriff's Office pulled over a Toyota Rav 4 after it made an illegal U-turn. the 34-year-old driver Joanna Contreras of Lauderhill, Florida. After they realized she didn't have a driver's license, the cop went to his vehicle to write a summonses, and she decided pedal to the floor, acted like it was a Daytona 500, and he initiated a pursuit.

And they did catch her. She was charged with obstruction and eluding arrest, illegal U-turned, driving without a license. and she's got a bond hearing forthcoming. Man alive, you're not going to be able to outrun the popo. It's not going to happen. Stick with us because Annie McCarthy's coming up in our third hour. We got a lot still on the way back in just a moment. Well, I came to tell you was, I told you we'd be announcing sanctions on Russia.

We'll have a major package announced on Friday. I'll be happy to sit with you all doing that, okay? Hmm. New sanctions for, I guess, the death of Alexei and Naval. is that what he's so what are those sanctions going to be and he's so scary oh my goodness

welcome back to the program Dana Lash here with you top of this third hour yeah we're announcing sanctions on Russia we got a major he said he's going to be happy to sit with all the press when they do that when was didn't they say that the last time he went out and talked and then they said oh yeah Biden's going to come out and he's going to

take questions and then that never actually happened and it was what never happened at all. What? Didn't happen. Okay. You can listen coast to coast.

Find the live stream. Make sure you also find the newsletter over at Substack chapter and verse. Always good things. There's also this, too. I wanted to put this up. The U.S. vetoed, an Arab-backed UN resolution,

demanding an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, as apparently were pushing for a halt and fighting to secure the release of hostages. There was a vote of the 15-member Security Council, 13 to 1. The UK abstained. It was the third U.S. veto of a Security Council resolution demanding a ceasefire. and because there's the assault on Rafa and everyone's like, oh, it's going to be so bad. Hamas probably should have thought about that before they did what they did. The fact that there are people who are

more outraged at Israel defending itself over what Hamas did, none of those people should be taken seriously. Every time I hear ceasefire, I feel like adding more fire. In fact, if I was an elected leader, I would say every single time you call for a ceasefire, we're going to make sure we pop off a couple a couple more Hamas fighters. I mean, let's just, I mean,

because honestly at this point, do you think any of the hostages are alive? Like I was reading a piece about, they found a video, a proof of life video, but it was not really proof of life. It was just taken the couple of days after. It was the redheaded kids, the little baby who turned one year old in captivity

and the toddler and their mother. And she was terrified. She was wrapped in a blanket and she was trying to protect her boys. And Hamas took them into, to, they kidnapped them, held them as hostages. And there was a video, I guess, the day after showing them taking her somewhere. And that was the last anybody's ever seen them alive.

The husband was taken, too, held separately. And at first, they were, Amos was saying that they, oh, they're dead. They got killed because of an Israeli strike. They were killed because of you, if they were, because that's the thing. IDF doesn't necessarily believe whether or not, you know, they were killed or not. And there's also a lot of, like, apparently a lot of civilians. that have been working with Hamas, civilians really, working with Hamas and keeping a lot of the hostages in their homes and all of this stuff. But the media doesn't talk about it because they have

they're very hard press to answer. Why is it that a terrorist government was elected and routinely supported and so popular they were about to take over West Bank too. They just simply don't want to have to answer that. So the, and the White House has also said that if there was a permanent at ceasefire, Hamas would, Hamas had control in Gaza and they would simply retake control of Gaza. They have to be completely eradicated. And if anybody, if any of these other Arab nations aren't helping, they can STFU. They can go right to Hades. Go, go, seriously, go right to hell.

Every single time I hear the word ceasefire, I want to blow up more stuff. That's me. Again, this is why I can't be a leader, because that's the type of leader you'd have. Oh, you called for a ceasefire. Watch this. building explodes. Do it again. Everything's rigged. Do it again. Let's see how much we can do. I'm not kidding. I'm tired. This is ridiculous. How long has this been going on? Hamas went in, kidnap a bunch of people. They started all this. They've had these hostages. They could end this

tomorrow. They could end this right now. They could let the hostages go and they could end this. But they don't want to end it because they're a bunch of terrorists. They're a bunch of terrorist dogs. That's what they are. So, no. So this UN resolution, they should, the United States should veto it every single time and Hamas should be entirely annihilated. And that's the other thing. Hamas hasn't provided any proof that any of these hostages are still living. Not even the American ones. They haven't provided any proof of life. I don't see proof of life. I'm going to obtain proof of your death. That's how that's going to work. Jiminy. But they said that

they don't believe that Hamas should get off scot-free. That's ultimately, you realize that that's what. The that's what the UN and all of these other entities are arguing. They don't think that there should be any consequence for Hamas. There should be no consequences for them. They should be able to do whatever they need to do. Whatever justifies their terrorism. That's what they should do.

So they have rejected that, thankfully. There's also this from, I think this is, isn't this guy, Audio somebody 18? I think he's part of the advisors to the president, right? Emerald Thomas Greenfield saying that, yeah, you're not going to have a ceasefire. And there's not going to be any peace unless you get the hostages either. Listen to this. Okay, so this is our U.S.

This is our ambassador, our U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Listen. Demanding an immediate, unconditional ceasefire without an agreement requiring Hamas to release the hostages will not bring about a durable peace. Instead, it could extend the fighting between, Amos and Israel. Extend the hostages time in captivity and experience described by former hostages as hell. Yeah. Linda Thomas Greenfield, who's, and she's right. All it does is perpetuate this problem. That's all it does. I mean, it's a wild that we, it's wild that the United States,

who has hostages over there, would be expected to even greenlight something like this from the you in. That's pretty amazing. Now, one of the other big stories, and we're going to talk about this later on this week as well, Capital One has purchased Discover. And this has been, I've been reading a lot of takes on this because it's 35, what, 35 billion. The piece on this, I was looking at, I saw a piece that was on Wall Street Journal, a $35 billion acquisition. combining the two of the largest credit card companies in the United States. And under the terms, the Discover shareholders are going to get some Capital One shares for each Discover share, et cetera, et cetera. And after the deal closes, Capital One shareholders will hold

about roughly 60% of the combined company. Discover shareholders will own the rest. And a lot of people have been a little nervous about this. And some of, we're actually going to discuss this when it's Thursday. We're doing a deep dive on this, correct? I'm, that's when we have our really good guest on for this. But you have, so a lot of people are saying that it's, this is, is this like the, I guess, the biggest credit card market share, essentially in the first in terms of that in the country. and there are my I know our friend Carol Roth is one of them who have been saying that this gets this could push you closer to that digital currency and there's there's a lot of there's a lot of warnings about this I mean is it I mean I don't like that there's going to be fewer now that does kind of worry me because when you're consolidating

everything like this. I do think that that's problematic. But is it really going to push everything towards a more, a more like that digital currency that they basically, they banned that in Florida, Ron DeSantis, that that digital currency where essentially you can have just like one financial institution, make the decision as to whether or not, oh, you're going to buy a firearm, we're going to shut this purchase down. Or, oh, we don't like your business because of your ideals. So we're going to shut this down. I mean, there is a little. legitimate, there's a legitimate concern. We've seen this with Operation Choke Point. We've seen stuff like that with this. So I don't know why this is beyond the realm of possibility for,

for people, because we, we have seen it. But this is, um, it's, are you, are you as unnerved about this as we're told we should be, Kane? This acquisition, the CBD, the CBDC stuff. Yeah, the central bank digital currency. Um, that is always been. ever since I've heard about it has been something that's on my radar. And we've noticed over the past several months that, you know, credit, first of all, credit, people buying on credit increased big time as we went into the holidays. And then the maximum amount of defaults on those credit lines are happening as well. So what I'm seeing is these banks that are holding these notes that people are defaulting on,

they can't, you know what I mean? They can't cover their nut. They have to do something like merge with a Capital One, like a Discover has to do something like that. So there's what I actually see is regular banks getting swallowed up by the central bank. And this is kind of the credit company version of that. But I see that banks will be failing. The government not bailing them out, even though it will be a bailout, but they'll absorb them into the central bank system. And that will bring us even more and more closer to that CBDC, the central bank digital currency, that we do not want.

that's full control of government over your money. That could happen sooner rather than we think. Robert Salvador is going to join us Thursday about this because he's saying that, I mean, like, for instance, if you buy too much gas, I mean, you could be deactivated. And I mean, that's the problem of having everything consolidated like this with this merger.

And this merger gets us one step closer to this. I mean, it's already happening in places like China. And for whatever reason, we have the left and some people on the right, honestly, that think that that's like a model to follow. It's just so bizarre to me. It's so bizarre. But they also make it to where, this is kind of like the syntax approach where you can

have the government create unfavorable financial situations to discourage purchasing. So like syntax is basically like financial programming. And you can essentially with having everything consolidated and all in one spot, you can do the same thing through this. And I mean, this kind of, it should be banned. they've done that in Florida. We need to do it everywhere. I mean, it is a major, major threat. That's one of the things that we're going to be focusing on as well this week going in on all of this, because it's telling you, it's troubling. In the meantime, here's this, listen to this headline from NBC4 in Washington. Millennials and Gen Ziers are pulling in bigger paychecks, but much of their spending power is fueling short-term purchases,

like groceries and vacations, not savings. Groceries. Hey, Kane. Is groceries like an indulgence or a necessity? Sort of a luxury purchase? No, it's a necessity. Yeah. I mean, because what happens if you don't get food?

Well, besides starving and dying, I'm not really sure. Yeah, yeah. I'm curious about, I'm just curious about, that. That's how so they put they think that vacations and groceries can just be put in the sale. This is discretionary

spinning. We're just going to put this in the same category. Groceries and vacation. Who wrote this? Did a robot write this piece? Oh my gosh. It's NBC4 Washington. Yeah, you know what? Groceries are not a short-term purchase, you morons. And now, all of the news you would probably miss.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Well, I did promise you glow stick attack. So a New York cop was left with a bloody head wound after a glow stick attack at a weakened protest. A glow stick attack. It was a Saturday night demonstration. 25 protesters marched. And he got a little cut on top of his head. Required two staples.

So it wasn't all that little. But how do you do that with a glow stick? I mean, it's literally a glow stick. I mean, that's, I got to say, that's kind of a. skill. You gotta require staples after that's kind of that's crazy. Also let's see here. This we had a story

oh I don't believe this one this one is garbage it says red wine they now are saying isn't good for your heart and experts are trying to trash 30 years of research saying that it's supremely flawed. I don't believe that though because there's a lot of antioxidant properties and my own doctor has said you know as long as you're not a wino and you're not like drinking wine you know

bottles of it every night you're going to going to be okay. But, you know, to have like, you know, every now and then a glass of red wine, I mean, my own doctor said that that's fine. And the antioxidants and the anti-inflammatories, actually, it's helpful. But they said that now that researchers are trying to debunk the myth and they're trying to say, oh, it's increased to all of these, all of these health problems, except the studies have only been in a tiny few group of mice. That's it. I don't know. That all sounds suss to me. You know, it does. There is, see, a couple found a 200-year-old secret well hidden under their kitchen.

Bonus. And it still works. Now, some people might think that that's haunted and creepy. I think it's actually kind of really cool. This is on the Isle of White. They couldn't back, hover up the feats, and decide to incorporate it into the home. And they said it wasn't what we expected, but they found this huge well right under their kitchen. And it has crystal, it had crystal clear water in it.

that's super lucky dude you got you like that's that's super lucky i'm actually really jealous so they're gonna they're gonna move to incorporate it that's incorporated it that's neat uh let's see the uh relatives decry undertakers valentine's card sent you nursing home residence that's really bad funeral directors are sending valentine's cards to the elderly people this was in britain and sorry oh boy they said that they were able to hide it from some of the elderly uh Because a lot of the people are there, they lost their lifelong partners. And, oh my gosh, that's like a vulture move. Stop it.

That's so mean. Oh, my gosh. Five cyclists were attacked by a cougar in King County. And see, even cougars hate cyclists. They don't, like, now is it like the animal cougar? Or is it like some, you know, 50-year-old who takes forever 21 literally and hangs out at the bar? It was the large cat. The large cat.

Still, that doesn't answer my question. Sorry. Is it a species of animal? Yes. Okay. Fish and wildlife removed a cougar at the scene and a hound handler. I got a guy. I love this.

They said a 60-year-old woman was taken with injuries to her neck and face. We got Andy McCarthy, who is not a cougar. He's going to be joining us coming up next. Stick with us. Whether you're a policy wonk, a news junkie, or simply someone hungry for insightful discourse, the Dana Show podcast has your back. Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. And I care about entrepreneurship, and I care about democracy, and the fairness.

The judicial system is now being criticized. People are asking themselves, the bar of New York. Is this judge rational to charge $355 million in a case where no one lost any money? Is that good for the people of New York? Should the people of New York wake up to this and say, what's happening to us? Why is this becoming so perverse? Why are we the focus of this injustice? Nothing to do with Trump.

I'm not supporting Trump. I'm supporting American entrepreneurship. And New York is slowly becoming the number one loser state in America. I'm sorry. Lerie. Luser state, harsh words. But you know what? He makes a really great point.

Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you. You can listen coast to coast. You can stream the radio program. You can watch the video. component as well on Channel 347, Direc, TV, YouTube and Facebook. Joining us now, my very good, brilliant friend, Andy McCarthy, bestselling author. You've read, you should have read his book, Ball of Collusion, the Plot to Rig an Election

and Destroy a Presidency. I feel like we're going to need a part two. And, of course, you know, he's former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney, and you see him on Fox and over at NRO as well. And Andy joins us now via Skype. Andy, always so good to have you. And my first question right off the bat, when I heard the figure for this, which I'm going to ask you how we got to that number. But we're normally with, you know, me pretending to be a lawyer,

you an actual lawyer, when you have damages like this, you usually, the damages go to someone who has been, who has lost out financially, someone who was defrauded or affected, et cetera. But that doesn't seem to be, there's no fraud here. So who gets, how does this end up? Who, who is the victim and who gets the money. Danny, you don't need a JD for this. You need LSD. That's the only way I think you could actually figure out where they came up with this number. So you're quite right. They don't have a victim. They do have lots of evidence that he inflated as assets. It's very interesting because, you know, we have nine million people in New York and I don't know how many, you know, big stakes businesses and, you know, big wigs in the financial world.

I'm sure none of them ever inflate their asset. Like Trump is the first one who ever did that and invented this practice. And no one's ever done it in the history of business or anything. It's only Trump. Goodness. Yeah. It's just, you know, it's unbelievable. But what O'Leary said is exactly right.

And I say this, look, I grew up in the Bronx. I worked in the city. I love the city. talking down New York City is like the last thing on the world that I'd want to do. I stay at the city now because it's hostile to people who believe what I believe. And if I had a business, there's no way on earth I would set up a business. And as he said, it's not to do with Trump. It's that if they do this to him, they can do it to anyone.

And Trump may be the like personal embodiment of everything that progressed. hate, but he's not the only thing they hate. And they hate a lot of things about business. They hate a lot of causes. And if they would do this to Trump, there's no reason to think they wouldn't do it to say, you know, a firearms manufacturer or the fossil fuel industry or any other thing that they just, you know, whatever the trendy piety of the left happens to be that week, you've got a target on your back. So this is really bad for New York. But at the same time, every time I go on a rant about this, I have to hold myself up because unlike the federal system where the president appoints the prosecutors, in the state system, everybody's elected. The prosecutors are elected. Even the judges are elected. This judge is an elected, progressive, democratic judge who run unopposed on a slate.

So people are getting what they want in New York. This is what they voted for. And, you know, it's going to buy them, but they chose it. And this is just one of a number of cases that Trump is embroiled in. And, of course, this is this Manhattan Supreme Court Justice, Ingeron, this judge. And with this, I mean, I think with the interest in that, it pushes it up above the 350. Oh, 100 million in interest. So 455 million.

And the argument that, you know, any bank or anybody else was defrauded, I just, Banks aren't usually silent about that stuff, but nope, they never, nobody ever made a complaint about this at all, which really seems to kind of undermine his ruling here. Yeah, that's right. So they have this monstrous law in New York called Section 65, 12 of the business law. And what it's really intended for is consumer protection. So it's a method so that if you have a business that's engaged in percent, fraud against consumers under circumstances where, you know, every consumer is paying a few bucks, but nobody has a real interest in, you know, taking on the burden financially of suing to recover.

You have this thing where the Attorney General's office can jump in in that situation. What they've done is they've taken this thing that applies to consumer protection, and they've applied it to a situation where everybody involved in these transactions, was a sophisticated financial player who was doing his own due diligence. And anybody who thinks like, you know, do you really think like J.P. Morgan Chase or Deutsche Bank took Donald Trump's word for it that, you know, this is what my assets worth. These guys are in the business of appraising risk. And that's what they do.

They don't want to get, you know, they don't want to get stuck on a loan. Some of these loans are, I saw in Forbes today. Trump has like a $425 million loan payment that's due this year in connection with Trump Tower. I mean, we're not talking about like everyday transactions. And the thought that these people would either lend Trump that kind of money or cover his insurance risk without doing their own investigation of whether they wanted to buy onto that risk is not. that's it is crazy talking with our good friend andy mccarthy is it the way that i understand it for trump to appeal the verdict in this does he have to put up the entire financial penalty here before he can go further plus interest yeah so the whole 455 million half a billion yeah so

and here's here's where this gets really dicey for him you know because we're not talking just about this monstrous verdict that he just got. But, you know, on January 26th, the federal jury came in in the second E. Jean Carroll case with that $83.3 million, and that's on top of $6 million from last year. So if you accumulate that, just take the interest out. It's almost half a billion even without interest. And in these jurisdictions, whether it's federal court in New York or New York State court, you have 30 days to appeal. Unlike criminal cases, civil cases, you actually have to put up the money to appeal because the court needs to be satisfied that you're not appealing for purposes of delay and that you will pay what you owe if you lose. So he's got to put up the money. Now, he doesn't have to be

liquid. He doesn't have to put up a cash amount. Right. But if he's going to get bond, bonds, he's got a, any bondsman is going to require him to secure the bond with an equal or greater amount of property that he can execute on if Trump were to not pay the bond. I mean, that's the way this works, right? So he's either going to have to put up a full amount in order to appeal in cash, or he's got to put up enough that he can get a bond secured by his other property, which is heavily leveraged. And he's got to do it within 30 days because if you waive your right to appeal,

if your 30 days come and go and you don't appeal, then the judgment is final and the plaintiff can start executing on your property, meaning go to court and try to seize parts of your property if you don't pay the judgment. So we haven't even gotten to the criminal cases yet. And he's in really, he's got, he's got, he's got to manage half a billion dollars in judgments that he wants to appeal, but he's going to have

to tie up funds to appeal it. He's got these criminal cases coming. He's, you know, he's rounding up legal fees, which a lot is being paid by campaign contributions, but there's a lot of people who want to challenge that practice because these are private lawsuits. They're not really campaign matters. We haven't even gotten to a criminal trial. yet, which is supposed to happen next month. And he's in a real crunch because it's not like his, you know, his business debts that are existing having gone away. He's got to pay those too. This is one of the most insane things I've ever heard the way this process works with us. We're talking with our friend, former Chief Assistant U.S. attorney, bestselling author, Andy McCarthy, because

essentially you have to help the court bankrupt yourself and destroy yourself before you can actually further seek satisfaction and appeal. And I know that some people were asking whether or not the Supreme Court can weigh in. Again, my limited understanding, doesn't he have to appeal before they can even do that too? Doesn't that have to get kicked up to a federal court? Yeah, that would even have to happen if this was federal, like ordinarily, even if you were allowed to appeal something from a trial, like this immunity litigation that we just saw in the federal court. You have to go to the court of appeals first before you can go to the Supreme Court, right? In a state case, it's even worse than that for the litigant because you have to run the full gamut of

the state system before you can raise any federal appeal. So he's got to go to the appellate division in New York. And if he gets any satisfaction or if he loses there, it probably won't be a, you know, a clean result one way or the other. Then it goes to the court of appeals. In New York, we have the idiotic nomenclature of the trial court in New York is called the Supreme Court. And the highest court in the state is called the Court of Appeals. You want to know why everything screwed up. It's screwed up even in nomenclature. It's screwed up from the beginning.

But he would have to run that whole thing before he could appeal to the Supreme Court. And, you know, a lot of people say maybe the Eighth Amendment applies here. You know, maybe this, it's not that he didn't do anything wrong, but the punishment is so bad. of whack with what the wrong was that maybe there's a federal constitutional claim. And maybe there is, but he's going to have to convince a state court of it before he ever gets to the Supreme Court. Last question for you. A good friend, Andy McCarthy on the phone with us, a best selling author, and you see him on Fox, read his stuff on an R.O. Read his stuff everywhere. It really does, regardless of what one thinks of Trump, or regardless even of where someone falls on the merits or maybe

even lack thereof in some of these cases, this does seem, and this is like a downplaying way of saying it, very punitively prohibitive on per, like this is, they're out to ruin him. They're out to bankrupt him and make it to where he can't defend himself. I mean, I know you and I talked about, you know, the Mar-a-Lago case and some of the documents there. And I think we were in agreement on, you know, some of the legal questions there. But this is just crazy. This is just punitive for the sake of being so. Yeah, and what I find really disturbing about it most of all, especially because I come from the legal culture in New York, such as it was at the turn of the century. I'm not saying which century. But it would have been, it would have been disqualifying for a prosecutor to try to

seek office as Letitia James did as AG and as Alvin Bragg did, it's Manhattan VA, to say, If you elect me, I'll use the power of my office against, you know, X person, which is a very Soviet sort of thing to do. And I think 20 years ago, someone who tried to do that would not have any chance of winning office. But now the culture has changed. Progressives are all in favor of using process in a punitive way against the people that they dislike. And when Tish James ran on that platform, she won in a landslide. So this is a cultural thing in New York. It's not just a legal system. That's a really great point. I mean, and ultimately it means I don't see what pathway to relief he has. I really don't.

You know, look, I don't know. He did get credibly accused of inflating his assets. And the reason I point that out is we don't really know how rich he is. You know, Forbes said he was worth about $2.6 billion, I think, in the most recent. appraisal like six months ago. So maybe he's flush enough to fund all this, but this is a monumental challenge. And again, we haven't even gotten to the criminal trials yet. And in the criminal trials, he's got to be in court every single day of these trials. Golly. This is, and this is just getting started. Our friend Andy McCarthy, I highly, he has a great piece that's just out. It's over at National Review, the post-judgment financial peril is real. It just dropped. Andy, always appreciate your brilliant insight. Thank you so much for your time today. Thanks, Dana. Of course.

We'll talk again soon. Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast, because knowledge is your ultimate superpower. We feel like we're doing really, really well. The country is in a very difficult time right now. As you guys have said from a moment ago, the world is in a very difficult crisis. And we have a moment at this time to make a right decision about what the future of the country and the future of the world is going to be about. So to expect everybody to be happy and excited, I think is just unreasonable. We are in a tough moment, which is why it's really important that Joe Biden remain as president of the United States. So that's Mitch Landrow, who's a campaign co-chair for Biden. And he's saying, you know, you just can't expect people

to be happy and excited and enthusiastic about Biden. You just can't, you can't expect them to be like that, folks. Just not something you can do. Oh, okay. Really? I love how they try to explain all this away. It's fascinating to me. It's my favorite. Yeah, it's because people aren't excited about him.

He's a hot mess. A hot mess. So I'm taking his previous statement when he departed Marine One. and was talking to reporters saying that they're announcing, I guess, what a package of sanctions on Russia following the death of Alexei Navalny. And he said he was going to take questions or discuss it with reporters Friday. That's not going to happen because he was supposed to come back the next day. What was that? Corrine Jampiro had said that he was going to come back and take questions the next day.

And he never. That was last week. No, he said himself he was going to take questions. And she did too and he never did. And she, yeah, she didn't have anything. That's her thing. don't have anything for you right now. So he said he's going to come

turn around Friday and talk with reporters. I don't think he's going to do that either. I don't think that's going to happen either. All right. Today in stupidity, what do we got? It was going to be Joy Behar. We don't really have any time to play her audio.

The other stupid was the former Minneapolis City Council candidate Zach Metzker talking about those police officers who were killed. He was saying, is it bad that I don't feel bad about that? Yeah, it's bad. Yeah, so calling that stupid as well. Yeah, there you go.

Folks, that does it for us tonight. Make sure you sign up for the newsletter, chapter and verse. Lorraine's got a lot of really good stuff explaining all the legalese that Trump's involved in. So especially as the criminal trials get going, you're going to want to have those cliff notes. Find us on YouTube, Facebook. Have a great night. Back with you tomorrow.
