Welcome back to the program, your lovable, retire. Gough, Dana Lash, and a Christmas played here back at the top of this third hour. You can find the discussion over a rumble. You can also find us on YouTube and find us on X as well, Channel 347, Direct TV, the best of in the podcast. So all good things. So a few, I got to tell you, and we've been watching all of this stuff as it pertains. to the, we were talking about Doge a little bit ago and a lot of these cabinet picks

et cetera, et cetera. And I saw this story last night and I'm trying to wrap my mind around it. And I got aggravated. I always get mad at people who like think that politics began the day that they signed up for an X account. Because some of us have been out here

busting our eight-able snakes for quite some time pushing back against rhinoism, right? And you always get these like drive-bys who were like, oh, I can't believe people think that Republicans are, you know, like the party of a small government or whatever. And I'm like, you know, broad, first off, you know, drop the drunk bridesmaid act. I get that you, you know, when you created your ex-account, you think that all politics began that the day that you became self-aware, but some of us have been out here doing the heavy lifting while you could sit here and go and get

your overfilled face done and your ratty-ass extensions and you could try to like talk platitudes about it on X. Stop. I get so aggravated over this stuff. Stop it. A lot of people out there have been doing the heavy lifting. A lot of you out there have been doing the heavy lifting, pushing back, calling your lawmakers, holding everybody accountable. And we're not going to be judged by people who just opened a drive-by account and all of a sudden went a way in like, you know, they're the generals of the movement. Stop it. We're not doing it. And I specifically got aggravated over this one post that I saw from Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick of Texas. So he, he posted this. Did you see this, King? This is going to be up your alley. It's in Slack.

He said, it's a major legislative initiative to ban all THC. Thousands of stores have opened to sell all types of dangerous products with unlimited THC. And these stores even target your children, is what he's saying. Let me read, in it first off. Oh, don't roll your eyes. I don't care if you're, I'm not Tommy Chong, okay? I'm no Tommy Chong, but I know government overreach when I see it. That's what this is about.

Today, it's about whatever the hell, THC. tomorrow it's guns you don't know so he had this he wants to ban all THC thousands of stores have opened to sell all types of dangerous products what wait there's more he's talking about this representative Tracy King this bill blah blah blah it part of the bill allowed for the commercialization of hemp which might include unremovable non intoxicating trace amounts of Delta 9 THC quote, dangerously, retailers exploited the agriculture law to sell life-threatening unregulated forms of THC to the public and made them easily accessible. They sold them to adults and they targeted Texas children, exposed them to dangerous levels of THC.

I mean, they keep saying the word dangerous. And then they use the word life-threatening levels in another sentence. I'm sorry, excuse me. Okay. again, I'm no Tommy Chong here, but I'm pretty sure that you would have to have all the THC on Earth in order for it to be considered dangerous. Am I correct?

I was talking to some of my more pot-minded associates about this. Some of these, so yes, maybe we know people in California. I don't partake in any of this. But they get so into the, like, what am I thinking of? the artisanal marijuana, it is hysterical. How it is not a reality show, I do not know. If you've ever tried to see hippies turn into bougie entrepreneurs, it's the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life.

God love it. But anyway, Kane, don't they have, like, they only, don't they include, like, a tiny amount in, I don't, I mean, it's not like they're tripping acid. Yeah, no, it's not unlimited. It's definitely limited. There's only so much you can. I mean, you can regulate it.

From what I understand, it's already Texas law that it's regulated. It is regulated. So that's a lie. Dan Patrick published a lie. He's talking about the- I'm so surprised. He's talking about the THC that they've, in the lab, removed a molecule so that it isn't the illegal THC-9 on the federal level.

So he's talking about the THCs that have had the molecules removed so that they're a different T-HCs. from the THC 9, and he's saying that those are dangerous. So it's a little bit different because this is sort of a laboratory thing that's created for these vapes and the consumption for people. So I don't know. He's technically not lying, though. I don't want to sound like Joe Rogan talking about this stuff.

That's not an insult, but I'm just not a pot person. I'm not, but I just am like, this is big government. This is big government. Oh, without a doubt it is. Oh, without a doubt it absolutely. So the same government that was like, y'all better get these shots. Now was like, no, you can't have gummies, right? Same people, right?

And we are to listen to them. Why? I can't sell you on that. No means no, Texas government. It's not what AOC says. I mean, okay, because you guys think it's funny that I know so little about football. Wait, didn't you hear me talk about marijuana. This is Kane's other favorites.

Because I told, what did I tell you yesterday? I was, how did I say it yesterday? I was like, well, doesn't T.H. Doesn't that just make you like fat because of munchies and suspicious? Yeah, it was suspicious and fat? That's what you said. Yeah, it doesn't just make you suspicious and fat? Yeah.

I'm like, what? What do you mean, paranoid? Yes. And get the munchies? Yes. Because isn't that like the common thing is like you're always paranoid? And so we, there are a couple of people I know. who actually work in this industry, like I was saying.

And both of them are veterans. And one of them we just met, but we know somebody that does this. It's like a lot of veterans use it, especially to help manage PTSD because they don't want to be hooked on big pharma stuff. They don't want to have to take like these, you know, psychotropic drugs and all of this. And they just need, you know, and it helps them to relax at night or whatever. I don't have any problem with that. I don't know why anybody, mind your business.

I mean, for crying out a lot, it's a gummy. and they put, from what I understand, like a tiny percentage of whatever in it. It's not like people are going out there, you know, tripping beans and acting like beta or auroric breaking and entering and drunk driving. Nobody's doing that. I know, and it's this kind of work by the government that actually has us putting our names on lists when we want to get pseudafed for our nose running or something. Yeah. That's what big government, this is what will end up happening. Someone was saying that it was similar to taking melatonin.

Yeah. I was reading that in the comments. I take like 10 milligrams. Sometimes I'll take 20 of melatonin. I'm actually trying to take less because I get so groggy. I'm so groggy in the morning. But I take 10 milligrams of melatonin a night. I'm definitely not out there being dangerous on 10 milligrams of melatonin.

If what I have been told and what I've read, that it is similar in terms of relaxing it, which is why a lot of veterans take it. Do you get suspicious and fat? No, I don't. I don't get suspicious in fat. No, that's because it doesn't have the pot in it. It's not just melatonin, like the fast-dissolved melatonin tablet, right? I mean, I'm just saying why is this an issue that they're focusing on in Texas?

No, I get that people can walk and chew gum at the same time. But out of nowhere, let's go after the THC. And from what I'm understanding, it's a tiny, I don't want the government involved in anything else. No, Texas should be shrinking government, not expanding it. This is just big government. care if you're a pot person or not. It doesn't matter. It's irrelevant. I mean, this is a variable.

What have I always told you? In all of these instances, guns are a variable. Pot is a variable. Look at all of this. It's the same formula. They just switch out the variables. That's it. That's it. I wonder if on a federal level, the fact that they're talking about, you know, changing the schedule of it. What is it? I think they're trying to nationalize all regulation of it to

create an industry for themselves that they can monopolize. Right. That's what I, you know. I wonder if this is just Texas's response to that potential. I have no idea, though. I don't think so. That's not how I look at it. I mean, I mean, if I'm wrong, I'm wrong.

I mean, I like being, I like being correct on issues. I'm not, you know, I'm not a petty partisan. But to me, from when I was reading this, like, why do you need to ban it? They're not trying to, they just want to ban everything. Why would, why do you need to ban it? And sorry, they're not targeting near the kids. They're not. That's such, that's like a, that sounds like a, that's like a,

gun grabber argument. Oh, you're marketing these guns to kids. No one is selling THC to kids. Have you seen these stores? No offense to anyone, but I'm going to be very honest. Okay. You know what do they look like? Do you want to, you know what they look like? They look like, oh gosh, they're going to, they look like white trash boomer places. I'm sorry, but they do. It's like they're so uncool looking. They are so uncool. They're uncool. Kids don't want to go to an uncool place. not like they're sticking Barney out front or whatever the hell furry. They're not sticking that stuff out front. You know, come on.

Stop it. Stop it. I'm not making, nobody get mad because I'll print out your email and I will roll over it with my mini segue that I got six years ago on Amazon for Mother's Day. And then I'll take it to the range and shoot Buckeye through it or birdshot through it. So stop it. But you know what I mean? They look like adult places.

They don't, not like, it doesn't look cool. look cool. Kids are not going to go to a place that doesn't look cool. I seriously take issue with the whole marketing to the kids thing. That's what big government always says with stuff that it wants to ban. Oh my gosh. It's going after the kids. Wait, the same government that's going after the kids trying to cut their their genitals off and and flip their genders against the wishes of their parents. Suddenly this government's all worried about the kids. Oh, what? What? The same government that lost hundreds of thousands of kids that it allowed to come across the border illegally. Suddenly that same government.

Oh, my goodness, we can't have these cannabis stores targeting the kids. It just can't have it, Kane. Can't have these cannabis stores going after the kids, no. I've seen the ingredients list on like fruit loops. They're allowing some pretty poisonous stuff to our kids eat it right in front of the TV. literally use a bird to advertise it to the kids. Yes, directly to the kids. Come eat our cancer cereal kids.

Foyal of cancer. It is. Yeah, I'm not really going to pay attention to the government. That's, so out of all the, and you know what, Lieutenant Governor Patrick has come on the show before. Can we have, let's bring him on again to talk about that.

He's going to be like, oh my gosh. We all, we get along with him so well, even when he's so wrong. We're so nice, because he's very genteel. But I'm just like the same. I just, is anybody else fed up with the government telling you what you can and can't do, especially after, I don't know, the whole wooflu drama?

Yeah. So it seems like, I'm just done with it. The same government that was doing all this stuff that was shilling out books about oral sex to your kids in elementary school. The same government. Oh, we don't like these. These stores are targeting the kids.

No, they're not. You are. Stop. We got more on the way. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Oh, man. I just remember it.

It's time to watch Nightmare before Christmas. Deadly Nightshade. Movie actress dives at a Mexican spiritual retreat after consuming deadly monkey frog potion. What gave you the idea that this might be deadly? Anything that's a monkey frog potion already sounds like it's going to be deadly. Why do people do this? So it's, I don't think you need to say movie actress, but they did. This strange potion, they said dates back to the Inca period.

And, oh, it's meant to cause uncontrollable diarrhea and vomiting for consumers, which supposedly acts as a cleanse. So Marcella Rodriguez, she apparently decided that she was going to do this and it didn't work out well for her. It's 40 times stronger than morphine. Oh my gosh. Why? Who would, who's like, you know, well, you're going to basically leak out of everything to death? that's how it's going to work for you.

Who wants to go, okay, let's do that. No. It was in Durango, Northern Mexico. I mean, it literally took hours to kill her. They're doing an autopsy, but pretty much have an idea of how that happened, is going to say. That's horrible. An officer uses a child, an officer uses a child's bicycle chasing down a felony suspect, and there's body cam footage, and it's actually hysterical.

He was not near a squad car. He used a little kid's bicycle to go after the felon. He commandeered a kid's bike to continue the pursuit, said the department in its paperwork. And it was a bright lime green bike too, which is funny. They got him. He got him. He caught the suspect, charged him with felony theft. The guy also had three other outstanding warrants.

And they said the suspect might have had a scooter, but Officer Tar had determination in a kid's bike. Yeah, he thought he was going to get away on a motorized scooter, but wasn't going to happen. but not with Officer Tar. He was on it. I mean, and kudos to the kid who let him take the bike. Juan's showing you the footage right now. He grabs the kid's bike, and he's like, here we go. Here we go.

We're going after him. I mean, this actually makes me want to now ride a bicycle, right? Remember how fun this was back in the day? This was fun. This is what Peloton should have had. Peloton should have had like revisiting your childhood by riding your, instead of the stupid stuff that they had. Yeah, going through the neighborhood.

Let's see here. The worst time to shoplift, don't, here's an idea. If you're shopping with a cop, don't steal while you're doing it. And they did this as a Walmart event. Their annual shop with a cop, and someone who was shopping with a cop decided to steal from the Walmart. Didn't work out well for him. Stick with us. We got more in store. So I will leave this chamber with a sense of achievement.

But in truth, I will also leave with the recognition that I did not achieve everything I had hoped. Among other things, the scourge of partisan politics has frustrated repeated efforts to stabilize our national debt. Oh, boy, bye. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you, bottom of this first hour. That's Mitt Romney, who's saying that he's, oh, he's leaving. He says that, I love how he said a country's character is a reflection of its elected officials, and we must be voice of unity and virtue, little known but very true fact.

this was back during the 2012 presidential election and I was one of the token conservatives at CNN and when I would go on one of my biggest criticisms because obviously the hot topic of debate was this was this was Obamacare and it was about Obamacare and it was also about how really Republicans made it difficult to argue against Obamacare because the Republican Party nominee for the election that year was Mitt Romney, who, when he was governor of Massachusetts, literally created Obamacare first and introduced, backed it and introduced it zealously into the state. And I was very critical of that. And I was not hyperbolic. I was very honest. I was just the facts. And I talked about all the things that Romney did.

leading up to, you know, the introduction of it to the state legislature, the passage of it, how he repeatedly defended it. And that made his campaign livid. So the Romney campaign, and I also was still a radio host at the time, too. So I was on CNN as a contributor, and I was still hosting this program. And the Romney campaign, they refused to come on my radio program. That was first and foremost. They would not come on the radio program. And then I found out leader, well, actually it was still at the time I found out through one of the people who work with the contributors that he was demanding, his campaign was demanding that I'd be pulled from air or that I only go on air with a Romney surrogate because they were saying that it was, I can't remember the exact wording, but they were very, they were very vociferously angry. or critical of my criticisms of his tenure as governor of Massachusetts and his introduction of Obamacare and the problem that created for Republicans

because that was one of the things that Obama and Democrats always cited as why, you know, this is going to pass and why it should because Republicans did it first. And so he tried to get me pushed out at CNN. Absolute fact. Try to get me pushed out at CNN. And then it was then when CNN was like, now we're not going to get rid of her. I've had Republicans and Democrats try to get me fired from CNN. It's a trip.

And then his campaign demanded that, well, at the very least, I should be put on only with a Romney surrogate. And to CNN's credit, well, I mean, they probably liked the infighting. They said, no, we're not going to do that either. So they listened to media matters more than they listened to Mitt Romney at the time. So I kind of, I've given you that full disclosure because that has, that has fueled my dislike of him as a, as a politician to be a little bit hotter than my dislike of most politicians. And there's a personal aspect to it because this guy literally tried to get me booted from a network because I was critical, accurately so, of his moderate record.

And yes, I did have Mitt Romney actual flip-flops that said Mitt Romney on them, which I wore. But that's beside the point. He puts this veneer of religious family man on, but he is just as dirty as all the other politicians. just because he can put on, you know, I just remember when Jesus would tell his disciples, you know, don't, when you're fasting, don't make a show of it, right, like the Pharisees do. You know, you don't need to put on all the robes and the ash and do all the, I mean, he told us disciples, you don't need to do that. Don't be performative.

Do it from the heart. And it just reminded me of that because, there are a lot of, and he's one of them, a lot of politicians that really hide behind this veneer that they've constructed, but they're just as dirty as everybody else. Just as dirty, just as underhanded, just as petty and mean-spirited as everybody else. So that's kind of, I mean, I'm glad to see him go because he's, he has been an anchor on the neck of conservatism. And that's an accurate statement.

and I have not in any point change my position on his moderate record and he never got into the White House he never got me booted from CNN and now he's leaving the Senate and I'm still here so I'm fine with I'm fine with being consistent

and I will add I caught a lot of hell from Republicans back in 2012 for that I lost a lot of friends and that's when I first really saw that just because someone's on your side politically doesn't mean they really are. And not every R after every name is the same shade of red. So I bring that up because I think consistency is important. And consistency is a great tool of refuting any kind of accusation of hypocrisy or changing. I mean, it's, it's consistency is key. And the reason

I bring this up is because of this stuff with Joni Ernst, like we were talking about. And this has to do with the Heg-Sess stuff. And, you know, this palace intrigue, I think that Trump could end all of the palace intrigue by saying, I stand behind my nominee, this is my nominee, and I want him to sect-deaf, and let's make this happen. His statement fell short of that.

And you guys all know it. Nobody's saying it, but you guys all know it. I don't like to see him put through the grinder like that unnecessarily. I don't want a nominee to get that so badly deemed up before the confirmation process, that the confirmation process is nothing more than just chisely. in the epitaph and the stone. I don't want to see that.

And I also don't like to see the infighting that it creates by lack of a strong, distinct personal endorsement. And Johnny Ernst is a moderate. She's not a demon, but she's a moderate, right? She's a moderate that I think can be pressed to be more

conservative. I have different grades for different politicians. She's always been kind to me, so I don't have any personal dislike of her. There's no personal animus here. But she's a moderate on certain things. There's things I definitely absolutely do not agree with her on. She says she's not waging an all-out campaign against Hegg Seth. I don't care enough to like, I don't have why, I'm not going to spend any capital on anybody saying that they did or didn't.

But what I do think is interesting is that yesterday I saw a lot of people criticizing her for her for her previous positions being weak on gun, on certain aspects of gun control, which I've criticized her for too. But I did find it interesting that the same people that were criticizing Ernst for her gun control positions are the exact literal same sacks of meat that were excusing Pam Bondi's gun control. So Pam Bondi, who is being nominated for AG, is a huge gun control supporter. And I'm not just, and I reject the defense that, well, Pam Bondi only was supporting it because it was after the legislature passed it. And as AG, she has to defend Florida's law. Okay, don't sit here and be like, oh, it's just my job. I got to do it because we've heard.

that before throughout the years, particularly in 1930s Germany, number one. But number two, she's on record before it even came out of committee in the state legislature of pushing red flag law, of pushing waiting periods, of pushing increasing the age requirement to purchase, and even more. She's on record, both in written word and on video, using her own mouth to talk positively about these issues. So when I talk about consistency, I don't take any of these people seriously who are criticizing one candidate who is wrong on gun control, but excusing the other, one politician wrong on gun control, but excusing the nominee for AG for also being wrong on gun control in an even worse manner, even further than the other candidate. You've got to have consistency.

Otherwise, do you know what happens? You can fool people some of the time, but you're not going to be able to keep it up because people aren't dumb. At some point, They, you know, pop their head up from their work or from running the kids here and there or whatever it is. And they start looking around like, wait a minute, this doesn't make sense. How are you? It's bad here, but it's okay here. It should disqualify. So Joni Ernst's position on gun control should disqualify any complaints that she has about Pete Heggseth.

But Pam Bondi's positions on gun control qualify her for the position of AG. How does that work? You see what I mean? Consistency is key. And people are going to wake up and realize. then a lot of people are going to start losing a lot of influence. It makes zero sense to spend your personal political capital by doing stupid stuff like this. And I will say, and I know people don't want to hear it, you've got to have strong leadership and you have to have a strong voice come out and say, this is my nominee.

Reject him at your own peril. That's all that needs to be done. In fact, I think if Trump came out with that statement, Do you honestly think that any senator is going to stand up and be like, okay, well, I still oppose him? No. No, they're not. Because it's going to put all those people in the weird position of having to make their base happy while also trying to kind of moderate their position to be more mainline Republican and not so much Trump Republican. It puts them in a difficult position which they need to be put in. so by not doing it the way that it needs to be done you're also letting these people off the hook that's doing it 40 chest style this is just he hasn't made a decision yet and it's a it's a statement that was not a strong statement and it was uncharacteristic I don't think he's made up his mind and I think it's because the factions are fighting it out and I mean the good news is that we've got a

lot of good people that we can I mean we're not Democrats for crying out loud our only options aren't that dude from the penguin from Gotham, J.B. Pritzker, and Gavin Newsom, which by the way, you guys know that Democrats are getting ready to pitch them, right? You know that they're going, Pritzker's already

made it clear he wants to run. Not kidding you. Pritzker's going to run. Newsom's going to run. You're going to have Big Gretsch. Big Gretch is going to get in. Pooty Juice still thinks that he's the chosen one. He believes that he is the

golden bob the builder and that he can come out and he's he's still going to run he's got to he's got to make that bank he doesn't have an administration position in january anymore what is he how is he going to grift guys he's going to actually have to get a job like in the private sector a job good night these people don't like to work you know that they want to be on glorified welfare which is what an elected office truly is so what is he going to do these are the stooges they're going to run so we're not like Democrats. We have a little room to say, you know what? I want a little more from you. I want a little more boldness from you. I don't want no statement that leaves lots of daylight in places. I want something definitive and hardcore. I want a statement that kicks people's teeth on. That's what I want.

That ends the palace intrigue that puts everybody in line and he can do it. He just got to make up his mind. He needs to make up his mind what he wants to do. But again, there's no, there's no bad news scenario in this. So don't be led to believe that everything has got to be burned it to the ash war. If I were a Democrat, I would want you to believe that so you undercut your greatest strength. But

since I'm not, I don't want us to do that. We're not Democrats. We don't have like no choices. Gosh, can you imagine being a Democrat? Those are your choices. Imagine America. You're a Democrat. I guess all we have is Newsom and Pritzker and Big Gretsch. And then Amy

Klobuchar comes in and throws a comb at somebody. don't know. That's who you have. Who else did they got? They don't get anybody. Seriously, he'll go out and pretend to have another baby and chest feed for like the first, even if he were elected, the first half, you know, his first half term. Good night. Like Sands Through the Hourglass, so are the days of the United States. There's a little bit of controversy about that podcast because you did. Oh. Do you know about this? No, what? Because in D.C., this, this interview happened in D.C. Yeah.

In a hotel? Yeah. Not in a hotel. It was like a random house. It was like random house. But apparently, you can tell me, they spent, the Harris campaign spent like $100,000. I did. You know about this?

It's hilarious. To build the studio. Yeah, it's not true. Not true. To make it look like it was the studio that you used in L.A. My studio that is gorgeous in Los Angeles doesn't even cost six figures. So I don't know how cardboard walls could cost six figures. Six figures.

But do you think they did that? I mean, you saw it. Absolutely not. With love to them. Oh my God, it was gorgeous, but like it wasn't that nice. It wasn't like gorgeous marble. Like, no, that was not six figures. Why was it allowed to happen?

First off Oh my gosh We so our set My set is not And she's talking about This is a podcast I was talking about Kamala Harris They the interview that she did They created this fake set

And that's Six figures on it My studio So behind me is not just a television It is a giant Florida ceiling LED wall It is legit It is super not cheap.

It's not six figures. I have my tactical walls loaded up with all my actual real Keltec guns. And also not six figures. I have a custom huge desk with a four and a half foot wide gamer screen. Custom mic. Everything custom custom. A super boogie like, you know, ergonomical. That also props me up.

And full lighting rig, total pro buildout, pro cameras. Like these are like the cameras that you would find at Fox or ABC or CNN. That's why I don't look dim or hazy. We have nobody in podcasting has better cameras than we do for our simulcast. Literally nobody in the business in podcasting or doing digital shorts has the kind of cameras I do. Not six figures. What? When do they not money laundering?

That's the question. This was money laundering. Stick with us. Second hour coming up. Last night at the Patriot Awards, I think we got a clip. He was doing the Trump dance. And I'm sure you've seen that evolve over the left. As you look right there, how do you describe your husband's dance moves?

Oh, this is very special and unique dance. It is, right? And I think a lot of people are copying it. Everybody has have fun with it. Is this how you dance? No. Which part of the Trump did you give him any tips like in the beginning? It was low and it was up high and now there's a golf swing.

Nope. I think it's hysterical. Have you ever done the Trump dance? You are Mrs. Trump. I did not. That is hysterical. It's like he's got string. Right?

It cracks me up. The first time that I saw him do it, I think it was back during his first term when he was campaigning for his first term and he did kind of a little thing and nobody really noticed it. I think, well, I think people talked about it and they laughed about it. And then he kind of started, every time he'd get happy, he'd do it. It was funny. Welcome back to the show.

I just like the dance because it's hysterical. What was the video that, it was SNL where he was reading. He was redoing that video. Oh my gosh. Who was the guy who was on Nickelodeon? But acts like he comes from the life of Hard Knocks, school Hard Knocks. Steve,

who am I thinking of? He did a sketch on SNL. He recreated Drake and Hotline Blink. Thank you. Yes. He recreated that video. Hotline Blink. That's right, right, right, right.

That's what he did. He redid, he did that video. And it was funny because that's when he really got into it. And that, I think, really is when it was officially born. And he was just, he was doing his Trump bands. with his string, his invisible string.

This just cracks me up. So welcome back. It's Friday. He was doing it to YMCA. I was reading this story about Victor Willis, the YMCA singer, who says that he supports Trump using the song because it brings joy to the American people. He did an interview about it.

And he says he has no problem with it being used. But he said he will sue outlets who call it a gay anthem. He says, he said he, he supports Trump using it and brings joy to the American people. He goes, I decided to allow the, allow the president-elect's continued use of YMCA because he seems to genuinely, genuinely like the song. And so many other artists were stopping him from using their music. And he goes, if you were asked me today, if the village people would perform at the

inauguration, I would probably say not because we'd be concerned about endorsement. He goes, however, because he's done so much for YMCA. He goes, the song's actually gone back to number one. It's still number one today. He goes, so if he were to ask the village people to perform at life for him, we'd have to seriously consider it. But he goes, the song was never gay. And I'm going to sue people who say it's a gay anthem. I am dying.

He goes, he goes, come January, and then he drops it. He goes, come January 2025, my wife and we're going to start suing each and every news organization. That falsely says it's a gay anthem. I mean, he like went right into it. It's hysterical. This guy cracks me up. But, you know, he's like he's having fun with it. I always hate when people say that, like, these artists that go out, like, how dare you use my music?

The way it works is they have to license their music. That's how they make more money off of their songs. If they license it for different use, like you can get different licenses. Like what can, like for public use, there's like different categories. Publishing for actual production, for school. score, you know what I mean? I mean, there's all kinds of different ways that you can attach your name to it. But it is, it's ultimately about ownership of your own music.

So by doing that, your licensing, you now have the license to decide where that song goes. And if you put it in the public domain and allow it to be purchased, that's just what happened. Right. It's like similar to what? If you're like your Nike and you're selling shoes, somebody buys your Nike shoes, they can wear them. Right. I mean, or you're licensing your, your logo out for certain, yeah, I mean, that's, right.

So once they do that, you know, it's, yeah, I mean, you can't, you can't say for him, but not for him. That's not how the licensing works. And that's ASCAP. So you have your ASCAP, BMI ASCAP, yeah. And CSEC. So I was getting mad when I see these musicians go on and say, he can't use our music anymore. Why'd you license it then? I think they do that as a way to get more attention for themselves.

So good on this guy. Good on the YMCA guy. It's a joyful song. It's a very joyful song. I got to say. So now I saw this story over, first thought, I think this was over at Red State. So you know how every president gets a presidential library? Okay.

Well, apparently Biden, I don't know how that's going to work with him. apparently donors are withholding their contributions because they're livid that he pardoned Hunter. They said it was a, quote, abrupt, clumsy pardon of his son, in quote. And so they're tightening their grip on their wallets. Yep. A couple of different outlets are reporting this,

including Axios. You know, that bastion of conservatism. Oh, yeah. the it's called there's an article over at Axios talking about

what's happening behind the curtain and they're saying you know 82 year old Biden will limp away from the limelight widely disliked

by the public loathed by many Democrats who blame him for the twin sins of selfishness running again and pardoning Hunter

and apparently and Politico mentioned this in another piece some of Biden's own family are shocked at the vitriol being shown to him by their fellow Democrats. They said that they thought that there would be blowback, but not what was described as a, quote,

wicked backlash because they are so damn blind and tone deaf. Now you can see why Biden makes stupid decisions because he's surrounded by stupid people. They're shocked that that would get the backlash that it would, especially from other Democrats. Democrats? You're shocked. Give him the pained attention then. So then the, I mean, he could have, he could have pardoned, you know what, if he would have pardoned Trump and his son Hunter, would that have helped? With other Democrats, though. Would that have made Democrats angrier? It would have given him cover in that it was. not so much personal for him, right? Maybe, I don't know. But I think all of the stuff for Trump will have to happen after he's president. So they still have to wait four years.

I mean, Biden said his son didn't do anything wrong. Well, then, why do you got to pardon him? For all, a blanket pardon for all this stuff. Why do you got to pardon him then? If he did nothing wrong. We had a thing up about that on Instagram on my account. We put it up going over, remember how, not just him, but like the, Hakeem Jeffries, everybody was saying, oh, no, but a hundred did nothing wrong.

Biden said Hunter did nothing wrong. Well, then now here we are. But they said that as a result of this, these people, because that's where your library comes from, people donate, etc. And it looks like Democrats are not,

they don't want to donate to his library. It might be a bookmobile. They said that most Democrats, a you-gov poll, which is kind of a lefty thing. that 64% of Democrats approve the pardon.

64% that was a reversal of earlier sentiment but it's 64% of people that they had described as like Democrats, not even likely voters,

registered voters, things like that. However, the other percentage because the way that they did their polling, it's like, you know,

do you approve, strongly, strongly? This was, This was just approved. The strongly approved was a small percentage. But everyone else was strongly disapprove. And the other thing that they're so angry about is the fact that he left so long.

Now, when they asked separately whether or not Democrats felt that they were angry that he stayed in the race too long, like 70% of them were angry. That he had, they disapproved of how long he's like strongly disapproved to how long he stayed in the race. so they're angry at him because he pardoned his son and they're doubly angry at him because he waited so long to get out of the race. And it made it doubly impossible for Democrats. They went in, they, they, they, they, I felt like they didn't want to waste a good candidate on a fool's errand by using their good candidate to replace Biden. But that's, this is Democrats own fault. They built Joe Biden. Joe Biden was always a jackass.

He really was, is. one of the meanest people when I was growing up and I wasn't really aware of politics like in the 80s you know I was in you know elementary school and I wasn't really aware I think the first time I ever saw Biden was on TV during the Clarence Thomas thing

and I remember feeling bad as a kid in a family of Democrats in Southern Missouri for Clarence Thomas because Joe Biden in his line of questioning he was so ignorant to him and I was the last little, I was a little kid in elementary school watching this. And it was on, and I just remember like playing around the house and it is on the television, you know. And I remember thinking,

this guy is so mean. This old man is so mean. He's an old man even then. He's so mean. He's so mean. And that's the first time that I ever really saw him. And then as I grew up and, you know, you go through his, you know, become more aware of politics and you study history, I found out how, ignorant he was with Reagan and in different hearings like that I would see him on TV over and over again and he was always mad and hateful about something he was always like super super ignorant about something and just a really not a nice guy and I say this because Democrats built him they they really did they built him and they only have themselves to blame they can you know sit here and and try to brush it off and and accuse everybody else of this stuff.

But it's, you know, it's ultimately they're the ones who built him. They made Joe Biden who he is today. So I feel like I don't feel bad for them about any of this, Kane. I don't feel bad about any of this. Audio sent by five. Senator Federman says that the, he says that Hunter was, deserves a pardon because it was politically motivated. I disagree on this. listen. Well, I think, I think it's undeniable that the case against Hunter Biden was really politically

motivated, but I also think it's true that the trial in New York for Trump. That was political as well, too, now. It's that. And in both cases, I think a pardon is appropriate. And I really think collectively, you know, America's confidence in these kinds of institutions have been damaged by these kinds of cases. And here's the thing, the Hunter Biden case, the pardon wasn't just for one thing. It was for his tax issues in California,

which he's guilt, I mean, for crying out loud, that had nothing to do with politics. The family was switching money around to their different shell companies and the amounts that they were moving triggered the banks to investigate. So that had nothing to do with politics. That's standard operating procedure.

The gun charge, that's not politically motivated. You know what's been politically motivated? stripping FFLs of their licenses over grammatical errors because you're looking for any way possible to shut down retailers. That's politically motivated. So you can't just say that the whole, all of the things that Hunter Biden is being charged with. They're not even remotely all the same. They didn't even start remotely all at the same time. Oh my gosh. Like the bank thing, that was like even before the laptop. That's how shady this family is. So no, it wasn't political process. It was not all political prosecutions. None of it was with Hunter really. It really wasn't. The New York thing.

to take an expired misdemeanor and attach a mystery charge to it to falsify its elevation to a federal charge is asinine. That is political. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. So apparently two Delta flight attendants failed a breathalyzer test right before an international flight. Do they have to take breathalizers before they? Yeah. Really? I mean, they're not flying the plane. they got pulled after failing a breathalyzer in Amsterdam on Friday. They were randomly tested by Dutch authorities before a flight to JFK,

and a female intendant had a 0.02, so it was seven times over the legal limit. Honestly, can I be real? Yeah, 0.02. Like, what's their limit there? 0.08 is the legal limit. So she's under the legal limit? They said that the female flight attendant showed blood alcohol. Oh, seven times over the legal limit.

Oh, and a male, sorry, a male flight attendant failed by 0.02. Oh, got you. Okay. So, honestly, like, I like a lot of flight attendants, but some of them probably need to be drunk to offer better service. So I don't know if I'm, some of them need to chill out, you know what I mean? So I feel like, I don't know if I'm for this. Yeah, I'm just saying, I got to be honest.

So, uh, let's see. I don't care. Scammers are using bogus QR codes on parking meters. Yeah, I believe that. Why would anybody do that, though? Like, don't just scan stuff and do. But the FBI said that they're hijacking QR codes. They're placing stickers with codes they create on top of the real QR code.

And then that directs you to phishing websites where people can steal personal or financial information. Just be careful about this stuff, right? Okay, just be very, always double check. Make sure it's not a sticker over a sticker. Stick with us. true in every respect, but on page 195 of the cast report, it says there is no evidence that gender affirmative treatments reduce suicide. What I think that is referring to is there is no evidence in the studies that this treatment

reduces completed suicide. And the reason for that is completed suicide, thankfully and admittedly it is rare, and we're talking about a very small population of individuals. with studies that don't necessarily have completed suicides within them. However, there are multiple studies, long-term longitudinal studies that do show that there is a reduction in suicidality, which I think is a positive outcome to this treatment. So this is the ACLU's attorney, the trans attorney, who was trying to present as an argument for her case that gender, I hate this phrase,

I'm not saying gender affirmative, the experimental surgeries and the chemical castrations and the puberty blockers and the hormones and all of this stuff, the elective mastectomies, all of it, that it reduces suicide. That was what they were trying to argue in the beginning. And now, when they have to actually provide something substantial

to support their argument they are unable to and they have to I mean they have to relent and acknowledge that there's no evidence in these studies that it reduces suicide

so can keeps going back to suicidality yeah you like that that word is everything it's like what it's like so but people think about it though is the thing people think about suicide so that's why we need these surgeries because people think about suicide i mean being suicidal and then have that's a very different what they're trying to i mean that's that's a ma bailey

exactly that doesn't make any sense that's so stupid i mean you're either i mean there's there's a medical evaluation for that to and there literally there's criteria already established to determine whether or not someone is suicidal, clearly. This is just them trying to shore up this losing argument. It doesn't look like the court is going to lean their way, but we'll see. It just, it is... Other countries have done the studies,

and they realize that there's no future in this path that's good for humanity. That's why they're banned in Europe. Exactly right. And they know that this is the end game here, but they're trying to play the drama up on, you know, the media is trying to do that now with this SCOT situation. So, yeah. Now, Lorraine made note of this.

I didn't, someone else did. Because I had this thought that I wasn't going to say anything because I thought I was the only one. No, Lorraine just came out with it in Slack. Lorraine's going to learn real quick. She goes, the lawyer's name is Chase Strangio, L-O-L-L-L-K-A-Casing Strange. I am dead. I'm dead. It sounds like a very fancy way of saying that, I mean, you could say chasing strange.

That's just this, you know, or chasing strangio. Are you Italian? Strangio. Chasing the strangio. I don't know. Gosh, it's so you guys know what that means. I'm not going to explain it. Don't Google it.

Do not. I feel like they're doing it when I say to not, Kane. But that can't be. Is that the real name? Yeah, that's what her name is. That can't be real. Chase Strangio. That cannot be real.

So there's nothing real about this person. That's like someone's name being... No, don't do it. You're going to do it, aren't you? Don't do it. Don't do it. Well, you know, like if their first name was Michael. Okay.

No, I know what you mean. I get it. And his parents are the Hunt family. Oh, man. What? Just saying, it's like a joke almost like jokey like that, right? Yeah. it is. Chase Strangeo. What a name. Like, I've all the names you get. For real, like, if you're

going to change all that about yourself, maybe don't make your name chasing strange. It's like chasing Amy, but not. Right? You're right over there? Yeah. I don't know, man. That's, I blame Lorraine for that one. It's all her, man. They even a real lawyer? Is she a real lawyer? She has... She's a lawyer. She's with the ACLU, whatever that means. But is the she part the lawyer or is the he part the lawyer? Nah, she's a lawyer.

Did she get the... Did she take the bar? Or did he take the bar? I mean, does it matter? I thought it did. I don't know. But still, that's the argument that they're having. That's the Supreme Court.

Like I said, I still feel like, like SCOTUS, especially with some of the questioning, it feels like they're leaning towards... not, I mean, in favor of Tennessee. That's what it sounds like. But, you know, I'm still, we'll see. It's, uh, all right, we've got, I'm looking at some, there's like a bunch of odds and end stuff.

Like, I've got Doge stuff. We've been talking about the, uh, cabinet nominees and this thing with sect which I think we're not going to know until Trump actually just comes out and says, hey guys, I'm either going to stand behind. my nominee or I feel like maybe you know maybe it's maybe we need to have somebody else or because there's been a lot of rumors about DeSantis and all this so we'll you know we'll see but I will say that one of the one of the other moves and I'm going to go to Doge just because I like saying it

one of the other things that we've seen is this depart I was actually shocked at this So Luke Roziak, who does really good work, and he's done stuff with Daily Caller, etc. He had said in his examination of the federal workforce, I did not know it was this much. He had said that 94% of the feds of the federal government still works from home. The EPA had poisonous water in its own headquarters because it was sitting in the pipes stagnant from disuse. USDA inspectors claim that they inspect food facilities for safety issues from home.

It's 2024. 94% of them still work from home. What in the world? He noted that the Social Security Administration just spent $120 million renovating its massive headquarters, but the building is 91% unused. And Biden just signed an agreement giving them all the way through the Trump administration,

I mean, to be able to continue using this building, even though Biden used his 2022 speech to say workers have to come back to the office and be productive. At the VA, their website states that you can break away from the traditional 9 to 540 hour work week. One third of calls to one mental health hotline for veterans went unanswered. This is unreal. unreal so apparently now it looks like um this might be one of the first things doge cuts it might be one of the very first things that they cut when you look at how before the before the pandemic apparently it was only three percent of the federal workforce that work from home or teleworked or whatever

before the pandemic three percent like barely three percent now they said six percent report in person on a full-time basis, one-third entirely, are remote. The government spends $16 billion a year to operate all of its buildings, the properties that it puts all this stuff in, right? And so even knowing that, even knowing that, they only have an occupancy rate of 12. 12%. 12%. Even GSA, and that's the General Services Administration.

That's the entity that manages federal real estate. They work from home. Their base in Missouri came. Unbelievable. Like the EPA. That's how Roziak noted that they had dangerous bacteria in their water according to an audit

because the water was left in the pipes stagnant from disuse. But yet they have the unions, the which I don't think public sector unions absolutely have no place in American society. Private unions are one thing. I don't have an issue with private unions. Public unions, where the government gets to sit at the table with big fat cat public funded by the taxpayer bosses. And taxpayers are told that we don't get to have a say in it.

Oh, hell, no. And a lot of them taxpayers are private unions too, private, working private sector unions. Does that sound like it's fair? Hell, no, it doesn't. But you have the public unions that are demanding full individual workstations for each employee being maintained in the event that they're used. Those rare occasions. So now it looks like, because one of the things Musk has said is that if people don't want to come into work, then they can go find another job. I agree.

but you know what what's more if it's shown that we don't need all this then why do we have it if we don't need all these employees why do we have them i think we need to eliminate a lot of these offices entirely social security administration give everybody money back stop government spending take it all down to article one section eight return money to the people eliminate it eliminate department of education eliminate social security administration eliminate dhs I mean, I could go on, on and on and on. But it requires an austerity that most people, including Republicans, don't have the spine to endure. Audio Sondi 18, this congressman says it's absurd to get rid of the Department of Education.

Listen. I've got many examples where CBO has absolutely failed to adequately assess the cost. I think with the issue of getting rid of the Department of Education, for example, they claim it would cost. millions and millions and millions of dollars to get rid of an agency. That makes no sense at all. You're getting rid of an agency that costs us $80 billion a year and yet it's supposed to cost us more money if we get rid of it. That just is absurd. It's not going to cost you more money if you get rid of it. Do you realize the amount of spending that we do per student in some of these states where you have the worst academic performances? What the states spend per student actually exceeds about 90% of private school tuition per student.

When I was in Ohio for an event, I think it was they were telling us that they spent over 13,000. Was it, I think it was over 30. Let me check my notes. The spending per student in Ohio, oh, sorry, I was under, it's over $15,000 per student. in fact the approximate average is $15,427 per pupil and that's in Ohio that's in some states it's higher Illinois it's higher California it's higher New York it's higher I was at an event and I was talking with a family they have three kids and their kids are in private Christian school and

their private tuition per student was cheaper than what they spend public school per pupil. Now, I homeschooled my kids and then they went to a Christian school and we spent less per pupil than what the state of Texas spent spends per pupil. We spent less on their per student tuition than what the state. That's unreal. My point in telling you this is that when you talk about school choice, what you're talking about is allowing all that money that you're paying into these schools that are not performing, a department of education that has been failing your kids, ultimately since its inception, and allowing you to choose a better education for your kids. People who argue against school choice, they don't want your kids better educated. They want you to be as

uneducated as they can make you. They don't want your children to, they don't want them, they don't believe in upward economic mobility. And they ultimately, that's, they use this is a weapon against it. That is what this is. They don't want you choosing a better school for your child. These people who want to deny you the right of what to do with the money you work for and the child that you are raising. Now you can see why this is such a common denominator issue for so many. Republicans need to be louder and louder and louder about this. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man

Geez Straws axes So this Florida man A saw swinging Florida man Struck a guy during a wrong way Driving argument Boy oh boy Yeah

So this Fort Myers Lee County Sheriff's office An argument of a wrong way driving Landed one man in jail In another life with non-life threatening injuries Rolando Ruizelanzo.

Too many names, Rolando. He was the primary aggressor in the altercation. And according to police, the old dude began swinging a, was it a saw or not? A saw-like tool toward a victim as the argument escalated. And the victim was struck. And then he also used a piece of ceramic pottery as a weapon. He was charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. I guess he, I mean, he was driving the wrong way and got called that. I don't know. But good heavens. Like there's, how many people have saws and machetes there? Like, it's like people just go to their trucks and get them. Here's our, here's my machete. Okay. Here's my saw. A Florida man who's accused of murder was captured after TikTok revealed his whereabouts. People overshare. He shot and killed his girlfriend in front of her two children while they were at a cemetery of all places. St. Petersburg were, the police were searching for him for three and a half.

half years, no success. And then a video of a local news story was shared on TikTok. He was in Mexico. And it showed him in Mexico. And they were able to get him. So now he's been charged with first degree murder and two counts of child abuse. He'd somebody, they just happened to get him. So, wow, they just happened to see him in the background of this news story. He was in Mexico. Not really hiding out too well, I guess. We have our third hour on the way and the latest with every, just all the latest. Stick with us. Welcome back. Top. for the third hour, Dana Lash with you. Find us over and substack as well, chapter and reverse. And you can also check us out on Rumble, Channel 347, Direct TV, all that good stuff.

I want to show you this video. Imagine you are in the grocery store. And in this instance, it's a Walmart super store. And you witness this in front of you as captured in video. Watch. It's this little girl. Don't get on her. Don't get her. You don't know what she's missing. Without you? Right.

Right. Right. All right. Who is the annoying broad? Who's the annoying broad who's going, you don't know what she's been there? Shut up. Tell me that you don't have kids without telling me you don't have kids. That's the woman.

You don't know what she's, what the hell. Why does anyone care what? It's not about what she's been through. It's about what she's doing right now, her illegal criminal behavior in the store right now. That's the issue. Where are her parents at? Everyone's like, don't touch her, don't do this. This enables this behavior.

You're not doing this kid a favor. Where's this kid's parents at? Why is she doing stuff like this in a store? You know, she's feeding off of all that, all those people who are going, don't touch her, don't touch her. She's feeding off all of that. And that's part of the reason why she keeps going. Everybody's watching me.

Look what I can do. But this one woman who's got to be there, who ever, anybody, anytime anybody tries to intercede that, that lady gets involved. Just shut up you and your bell bottom yoga pants and walk right back into the bread of where you came from. Good night. I'd have beat my kid's ass.

They'd done something like this in a store. So what do you do in this situation? What would you have done, Kane? You're in a super Walmart, Kane, or any of you out there. You come across this right in front of you. You're just trying to shop, you know, get your food stuffs. What do you do? Are we saying if that's my kid or if that's just a random?

Oh, if that's just what you see. Everyone's like, don't touch it. She's throwing stuff. She's throwing glass. Yeah. It becomes dangerous at that point. Yeah. What if she goes a glass bottle at your head?

Well, not only that, but what if she's walking around on top of said glass? What liability is that creating for the store? If anybody slips and falls on any of the stuff that she's thrown and breaking in the floor? Not to mention the actual loss of the products themselves. Right. Finally, there's a man who goes over and intervenes, but then you got busybody. Rowdy woman who comes over there. Just shut up.

I don't know. Like instinctually, you'd want to grab the kid by the arm and pull him away from there. Yeah. And give them a nice physical, you know, like, oh, a little jarring. It's like, oh, what is this? What's going on here? Not an abuse. Not any sort of, you know, litigatable pain or suffering.

This is literally just a little jolt that's a, what you're doing here is not what you need to be doing. plus now it's dangerous. And so what I know for sure, I would have said something to that woman. Oh, yeah, I would have said something to or two. Without a doubt. Oh, yeah, completely. I mean, you don't know what she's going there.

That's not validation. That's not justification to destroy stuff and put other people in danger in a store. Yeah, you don't want to put hands on someone else's kid. You don't put hands on anybody else. You don't want to do that. The fact that she's putting people in that position is a problem. I think if people don't want their kids to get their ass beat from throwing around wine bottles in a store, then maybe they ought to do it themselves before other people will.

That's kind of how I look at it. Because I'm going to tell you what, your kid throws a wine bottle at me. I will beat your kid's ass. I will be the parent that you failed to be. Absolutely. And then I will sue you for everything I can think of. And I will run you into deficit by occupying you in warfare as punishment for not parenting your child. And then your child will be taken a given to somebody who can raise you.

your child better. So there's a whole process. I mean, that doesn't help the kid by, oh, don't touch her, encouraging this behavior. People are afraid to parent anymore. Isn't that wild? Where are the, and not at one point does anybody in that video go, where are her mom and dad? I mean, we're her parents.

I mean, it doesn't, she looks like, she comes off as an entitled brat. It doesn't look like she's, you know, on hard times or nothing. She's, you know, dress nice. It looks like she's clean and fed. You know, I don't know. But they're like, oh, you don't know what she's going through. You can't intervene.

That's not justification for any of it. A lot of people go through a lot of hard stuff. And I think it's insulting and it's weak to blame your circumstances for acting like that in public. There's no excuse for it. There's none. Absolutely none. You don't just get to destroy stuff in a store and throw. And I don't know where her.

I kept trying to look. see, I don't know, I couldn't identify whether or not she had a parent there in the store. I mean, how would your mom just be, or your dad just be watching you do this stuff? I don't know. But that's, you know, don't touch her. Oh, you don't know what she's been through. Well, what about all the other people there that are just trying to shop? What about what they've been through? You know, they've all been through stuff too. They don't, they don't want to be subjected to this stuff. They don't want to have stuff thrown at them. They don't want to watch this kid. I mean, what you're giving them room to destroy store product and throw around bottles of

juice? It's crazy. I mean, I don't know. They, this is, the kid knows that she was, that she's pushing boundaries in this video, clearly, which is why she's, she's doing it. And all these people that are standing there like, don't do anything. She knows that she's got the upper hand because everyone's terrified to do anything. And then what happens when she's, you know, allowed to destroy this stuff as a kid? What happens when she turns 18 and she tries this? Huh? Who gets the blame then for her going to jail for property destruction or assault or something

of that nature? Then who gets the blame? You know, it could have been prevented. I mean, I don't know. The woman who's like, don't touch her, don't touch her. She's part of the problem, too. She's absolutely She also needs to have her

A double snakes beat She's part of the problem also This kid needs to be in a juvie A juvie ward I mean the workers Stained in there doing nothing You know nothing All the workers that are just sitting there looking at her

The man steps in and finally restrains her The man you got all these do nothing Women standing there And then the man has to step in And then you've got that Mouty Broad That comes in Don't whoa, whoa, whoa, shut up. Now who's going to pay for all the destruction?

Who's going to pay for that? Who pays extra for cleaning up the broken glass? I mean, that's entitlement. You're destroying something that other people are expected to clean up while pretending that you're the victim. Man, this kid's already been failed clearly by their parents. This kid's just a bad kid. She's a bad kid.

And then the woman who was like, don't touch her. Is she paying for all this? I didn't see that broad run in her mouth. I didn't see her getting down on her hands and used to clean up the mess that this kid was making. Did you? I didn't see her getting down to, I didn't see her taking out her purse to get some money out of her wallet to pay for everything that was destroyed. And what's even more upsetting is that now it's completely reversed. They'll call the cops on parents that are actually implementing discipline and won't on parents who let their kids do what we just saw in that video.

I never acted out in a store like this because my mother would have murdered me. And my kids didn't do this. My kids only acted up one time in public. One time. That was all it took. And I did the one, two, three count. And I think they remember it to this day. Because the youngest was being real, the oldest was being real, when listening too well, being kind of dangerous,

climbing up and jumping up too high. he's going to break his legs off. Wasn't listening. And then kept running around because the playground we were at, it was separated by a really low stone wall and you could just climb right over it and go out into the road. Youngest kept trying to go on the other side of the wall. I'm like, you have a whole playground over here. Why are you attracted to the street? Stop it. And I told it once. I was like, I'm going to give you a count. This is one. And I tell you again and you don't come in. When I get to three, that's it. We're going. It's like, whatever. Didn't listen again. gave him a warning, counted. I said, one, still didn't come back over the wall. Wanted to go and

playing the street. Two, got to three, went, picked him up, screaming, hollering. It was like I was murdering him or skinning a cat or something. Got him and his younger brother in the car and we left. That was the, oh my gosh, it was just like, you know, a bomb went off, a bomb of screaming and shrieking. But it was the only time I ever had to count. And I was able to use the one, two, three literally up until they were like 16. So actually I probably could still do it today, come to think of it. Because not only did I put him in a car, but I whooped his ass right there. Wipped him, put him in the car. Let's go. Oh my gosh. It's about to follow through. I literally never had to do it again, ever. It was a magical thing. I'm like, one. That was it. Everyone was like,

oh my gosh, she's at one. Stopped. This kid? Jeez. This is a, this is. This is a part of the problem. I still can I just I'm going to move on but the other thing that gets me are the workers. They're women too. I've noticed it. There's the there's only one what there's there's one man who's kind of comes up towards the end but he's holding something. He was shopping and then a dad you could tell that's a dad the dad comes but not her dad it is a dad comes in immediately when she's throwing glass and he stops her kids like this who do not get their behavior corrected become problems for society. They grow up to be Hunter Biden. That's what happens. They grow up to be Hunter Biden. Speaking of which, have you guys seen the Bidens? Have you seen the Christmas decorations that

Jill Biden put up? They didn't have big fanfare about it this time, did they? Let me pull this link up. So, yeah, so apparently it was Jill Biden that was the one who was convincing the family to convincing Joe to do the pardon to pardon Hunter. And she apparently, I was reading a story yesterday, she led the family campaign to pressure him to do it. Although I really don't think that to me, it seems like I don't really think that they needed a lot of pressure, right? That's something that I don't really think they needed a lot of pressure on.

But in addition, when I was reading this piece, Let me pull the story up. My link is broken. Did you guys see their Christmas decorations? They were circus decorations. They were, it's being described as fitting her Christmas decorations. One of them is a literal actual circus, like in the room. And pull this up.

I mean, it is like a literal circus decorations. The last holiday, the last Christmas they're having at the White House, they have circus decorations. I can't think of anything more fitting than this. Right? They did circus decorations. I don't know, man. I mean,

it is, yeah, it looks intentional, doesn't it? And it also is kind of just tacky. I don't like it. I like the more traditional stuff. I don't like this kind of stuff. But I just want to say, I don't think that they do this. Remember, they're not doing the stockings on the fireplace like they were.

Do you think merry-go-rounds when do you think Christmas? Yeah, I don't know. And why is the tree in the bars? It's like jailed in the circus merry-go-round. I don't understand this. If you're looking at the simulcast on Channel 347 or X or Rumble, if you're looking at it, Juan's showing you, that's part of the decorations. Why is it look like the Christmas tree is prisoner in a merry-go-round?

Why? Isn't that weird? I'm not trying to be picky. See, they got mad at Melania. Trump, her decorations were great. She would not have done some, like, jumbled up mess like that. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

So, I told you the Ohio woman who was charged with killing and eating a cat because that was happening. She did plead guilty to one felony count of animal cruelty. She did plead guilty. So that story. was true. Just want everyone to know that. Gay couples are rushing to marry and have kids before Trump's inauguration. Why?

This is so stupid. Why? Like, he literally never did anything to, why? Yeah, he's, yeah, and he didn't. That's like not even an, look, that's one of the reasons why some of the, like, the evangelical sect got mad at him over some of the stuff. What are the, like, making up, you know what? You're going to have a crappy wedding and you're going to have a horrible,

like reception and you're going to have bad music and a bad DJ because you're rushing because you're a turd. Stop it. So stupid. Nobody cares. Do what you're going to do in your private life and leave the rest of us the hell alone. Right. Some of us got baking to do and I'm high on augmenting right now. The antibiotic, I have to tell people this because people are like, you seem really cheery today. No, I don't. I'm spacey. Now I feel like I got to be meaner. I feel like everybody thinks I'm nice today and it's just, I don't know. Harvey Weinstein was rushing. to the hospital over Disney of like, what did he have?

Leukemia, that's right, blood cancer. Does anybody care? No. Let's see. Man suffered a chemical burn that lasted for months after squeezing limes. Hold up.

Hold up. Wait a minute. They, I did not know this. You could actually do this with limes. This guy, like, it took him two hands, two days for everything to go back to normal. Lime juice and sunlight. So he had squeezed a dozen limes.

He went to an outdoor soccer game and didn't apply sunscreen. And then when he came back, he had a rash all over his hands exactly where he had the lime juice was. And they were saying that it was phytophotodermatitis. It was in the New England Journal of Medicine and that a number of plants, they can, it might not be toxic right when you're working with it. But when you combine that with the UV light, then it can become that. I actually have heard of this before. That's why, but they were seeing sweet orange, lemon, lime, carrots, celery even. Crazy.

We have a lot more on the way. Stick with us. That's crazy celery. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash, here with you. And we are, of course, you know, here discussing all of the latest cabinet picks, everything else, with POTUS and POTUS elect. And then we were kind of questioning where Potas is. I'm not quite sure where he went. I don't know what's happening there.

We'll see. A couple of things. I got some audio I wanted to put out here. This is this is wild. Audio sound bite 15. Eric Adams, the New York City mayor.

He says, well, he's been very, very critical over the illegal alien crisis in New York. and he had some things to say about it. He dared the left even to cancel him yesterday. He also added this, I thought he was something about 15.

The long-term impact of what we did to this city is going to, you're going to see it materialized in administrations in the future. They hurt the future of New York City. And when people hear me say $6.4 billion, they may say, okay, it's just a billion here, a billion here, no, we didn't invest in seniors the way we should have and young people the way we should have. We're not going after get these chronic absentee students the way we should have. The crimes that we witnessed. This impacted our city and people don't seem to understand why were you fighting so hard for this? Because I reflected on that 11 year old boy that was denied and I went

into government to stop these 11 year old boys and I came up with a plan to do so and the federal government made me take $6.4 billion out of providing these services that, we should we all should be angry and what happened to our city under this administration. Oh, was that last point there. Woo! They're going to get him. He's not going to be invited for any more Democrat fundraisers after that. I don't see how that happens.

But he's not wrong. Here's the thing. And I keep seeing this because I'm just, you know, sort of watching some of the stuff at play and looking at things like, you know, like Democrats going into 28 and all this. stuff, they, there's going to be a huge problem. They still have a big problem. They haven't done, like a proper actual post-mortem of why they lost. It's obvious to us why they lost. It's not obvious to the left why they lost. Now, by the left, I mean people in D.C. Because, because Eric Adams seems to kind of get it.

And I don't agree with him on hardly anything. But on this, you know, it's not incorrect. That's not what you're hearing from Democrats in D.C. Democrats in D.C. don't think that anything's wrong. They think the economy's great. If you listen to their soundbites, that economy's great.

There's no issue at the border. What they're, I guess, living or experiencing is miles wide, inches deep in terms of the depth that they're willing to explore it. It's so different from what we're living. But then you've got governors and you've got mayors like Eric Adams who are saying things that he's not, what he's saying isn't Republican stuff. I mean, what he's saying is what anybody would say if they had a brain and eyes. They can see exactly what's happening. They know what's going on here. They can see the crime.

They can see the unfettered, you know, thousands that are being brought illegally across the border and being sent to New York because it's a sanctuary city. They see the crimes committed by unvetted individuals who were just allowed to enter. No way of checking any kind of criminal record. People are done with it. They're fed up. This is reflected in the language and the position. of local and state lawmakers. But then it seems to end there.

Nationally, federally, in D.C., totally different story. They're not going to be able to win another election until they fix that schism. It's a difference of, and I said this earlier, when your ideology meets reality, Reality requires sober observance. Reality requires practicality. Reality

requires policy, like actual workable policy, not just simply denial. Until they figure this out, this is going to be a problem that they have

for quite some time. We may never see a never see another Democrat victory in our generation again. They're saying two different things. They're saying two different things. It's why in some states you had, like in blue wall states, if you went back and looked, some of the state lawmakers who were running for re-election were Democrats and they did well. But then the people voted for Trump for president. Don't you think that's interesting? You had Democrats that didn't turn out. The turnout for us, this last election was actually pretty much almost the same as it was in 2020.

Republicans didn't have a banger year for turnout. There wasn't any kind of exorbitant record-setting turnout because Republicans are good like that. But what you did have was record-setting lack of turnout for Democrats. No enthusiasm. They were giving nothing concrete to rally around. and a lot of them, a lot of Democrats that did turn out, they changed their affiliation and they voted for Republicans because they felt that the messaging that they were hearing, the policy proposals that they were reading,

were more in line with what they wanted and what they needed to happen than what they had previously believed with Democrats. This is going to be a problem for Democrats until they can get this. They've got to figure out how to reconcile these two very, different things here. So did you hear about, I didn't know that there was luxury cannabis. I mean, I guess you can have artisanal weed. You can have artisanal anything, right? But what makes it artisanal?

I mean, it doesn't get much more artisanal than growing in the sequoias with bigfoot's, right? I mean, I don't know. Jay-Z had apparently a luxury cannabis company, which is funny to me. And it struggled to sell 50. dollar joints. I'm sorry. Was it, now, I don't know how, don't make fun of me, shut up.

Does it come in like a carton, like cigarettes? Do you get like a bunch of the joints? Or is it just like one? No, I mean, I guess you can buy several, but they don't come in packs like cigarettes. There is a company that does them and they make them look like cigarettes, but they're actually...

Or do people make their own? No, people mostly roll their own, but they sell them in pre-rolled. Sorry, do you do like a grape leaf with cigars or is it like just like cigarette paper? I'm curious. Yeah, it's cigarette paper.

Okay, so were these, I guess, pre-rolled? Right. Luxury joints. $50. Again, not knowing, I only know like the hysterical stuff that I've ever seen with Cheech and Chong.

I mean, I'm assuming they're like that, $50 for one of them. How much does they? at you. What is, what are we talking about here? Yeah, Cheech and Chong is shockingly real life. Oh. That's real life. So you get one

joint for $50? No. That's what it says here. No, I know. $50 for one of his luxury joints. I get that was their effort, but it didn't work out, obviously. Yeah, they lost half a billion dollars since they launched. Yeah. How do you

lose money on weed? If you do it stupid. Make it really expensive. This is like one of the dumbest things I've ever seen in my life. They act like they're like, oh, Sean Carter's a great businessman. Maybe, but not with this because I'm not even in the pot. And I could have told you, you're selling one little joint for $50. Are you stupid?

It's the luxury joint. What is it? Like, do California condors talon roll it? Like, how does that work? Are there gold flakes that you smoke? What is it? Apparently California has a tough legal pot market. I didn't know that either. It's wild. I love that everybody has to deal with bureaucracy. Like nobody, even the sin industries, I love it.

They said that none of the retailers across California and Arizona, they don't stock JZ's buds or joints on their online menus. Yeah. And they had, oh my gosh, this is Kamala level crazy. $575 million that they launched with. And now they're in trouble. They said that Jay-Z's monogram products are overpriced and underwhelming. Wow. And see, you never really get rid of the criminal element. They say California's legal weed sector has been stymied by complex rules, high taxes, There's competitions from black market traders, wildfires, sliding prices. A lot of people have been pushed into insolvency.

But they said that it was mind-boggling the amount of money that was pushed for this. I could have told you immediately that probably not going to work. You're talking about luxury pot. People are broke. Everybody that is broke. And the people who are going to be doing this are probably not going to be like the JZ rich level people. They're going to be people who think that smoking this makes them JZ Ridge level. And now they can't afford it because everybody's broke because of the president,

Jay Z endorsed and his administration. So I can't say that I feel sorry for him. I don't. I just think it's funny. Like who thought that, you know what? We're in a time of a lockdown. Let's launch a luxury cannabis company and charge people. $50 per joint.

What else can you make luxury? Like artisanal wheat. Are you going to do artisanal kefir, cane? It's pretty artisanal. I don't know how much more artisanly you can make it. It's pretty artisanal on its own. I don't know. Glass bottles preserved from, you know, Quaker.

I have no idea what you could do with it. Yeah, that sounds, during a time of inflation, I just don't think that luxury stuff, especially starting any kind of luxury line is going to make it take off. Gen Z. Here's the story. Gen Z is killing the Christmas party. People are sober, curious. Band aid is banned. And everybody goes home early.

Ghaly, this generation sucks. This is horrible. I don't want to party with these people. Yeah, no, right? Who dokeyed in their weaties? Jiminy. They even know what they have those are. They said,

Missile Toe is a firm no-no. Apparently Missile Toe sales have plummeted. I didn't even know. I've seen that. So stupid. They said that going to bed early is in. Gifting olive oil instead of alcohol. Shut up.

Hot chocolate. And then out, bandaid, mistletoe, and alcohol. I mean, I don't know. I just don't know. Christmas parties, I don't care if somebody drinks or not. But if you're gifting olive oil, man, you better

be knowing you're cooking. Don't just grab some cheap old olive oil because it's just stupid. Can't just give me a serious look. No plastic bottles. No plastic bottles. Yeah, you don't keep it on plastic bottle either. I don't know. Isn't this the generation or is it millennials that got upset over baby? It's cold outside.

I think it was millennials. They ruin everything. These people ruin everything. Yeah, now they're like, oh, here we are hanging out and just, you know, no mistletoe. Band-Aid's part of it. You got to make fun of Band-Aid. That's the whole point of it. You play it and you make fun of the fact that all these

celebrities got together and apparently Michael Jackson was weirded out. It's weird. It's funny. You make fun of it. Jiminy. Just, everybody's stop being so serious. I read this story about how Hunter Biden apparently, isn't that interesting. He celebrated the pardon, his dad's pardon of himself. He celebrated it by watching a movie of himself. Well, what? So this is New York Post. He celebrated this unprecedented pardon from Daddy Joe by watching a movie about himself. Okay, what? It was a private screening of a documentary. Remember the Sugar Brother, Kevin Morris, the guy who facilitated everything by buying

his horrible paintings? So he was the guy who apparently financed this documentary about him. And I guess he was at watching a screener of that. the day that the pardon came out. So, and he was very, he was very happy. He's, this apparently sort of said he's had a huge weight was lifted off and he's had to carry since his dad got elected. I mean, his dad wasn't the one making you do all the gross things that you were doing, but okay. I mean, it, can you imagine being his kids and seeing this stuff about your dad in the press? It's just heinous, heinous. So, yeah, they said it. Oh, people were attacking me and they were

attacking me because of my father or because you were a deadbeat NEPO. I mean that's kind of like, you know, really what we're looking at, but whatever. So he I guess that, I don't know if it's ever going to be released.

I don't know. So we'll, but yeah, they, that's what he that's how he spent. That's how he celebrated. So in 2020, Biden was adamant that Hunter's laptop was misinformation, wasn't real. And then recently now has pardoned him for all the crimes listed in the laptop.

Yeah, yeah. So the laptop isn't real, but he got a pardon for all the stuff that he did in the laptop. So that's... D different. Yeah, it's D different. There you are. That does it for us, at least for that portion. Of course, we're going to watch everything with a penny case and then this is the Supreme Court as well. Any kind of cabinet changes. We'll have that covered tomorrow. Make sure you catch us at substack chapter and verse as well. To date in stupidity. Okay. All right.

It looks like the medical treatment for transgender's conversation was happening with SCOTUS, and Sotomayor had a response to a question when I was asked, how many minors have to have their bodies irreparably harmed for unproven benefits? And I don't know about you, Dana. When I've taken aspirin, I don't have irreparable harm. But this is what her response was. It cannot eliminate the risk of detransitioners. So it becomes a pure exercise of weighing benefits,

versus risk. And the question of how many minors have to have their bodies irreparably harmed for unproven benefits is one that is best left. I'm sorry, counselor. Every medical treatment has a risk. What? Even taking aspirin. Oh, my Lord. Okay. It's just like the transfer. Just like lopping off your salon. Same thing, Dana. Just like it. Yeah, it's just like it. That's, you know, you guys didn't know that. All right, that does it for us today. I hope you all have a great rest of your evening. Make sure you find it, I'll find us on Substack, Chapter and Verse, as well as Facebook, YouTube, like, and subscribe. I'll be that fine, I'll be tomorrow.
