There's crime, there's violent crime, there's migraine crime. We have a new category of crime. It's called Migrant Crime, and it's going to be worse than any other form of crime. You look at New York City what's going on where they attack police. They want to fight police officers. Our criminals don't even do that so much, okay? I've never seen. They're having fistfights with the police officers in the middle of the street.

And we have to do something about it. These are tough people. Don't forget, they're not sending their finest. I know all the leaders of... So the president last night speaking about some of the stuff that we've seen, we've seen a lot of the videos, we've showed them to you. The videos of people who have come in this country illegally, and then they go around, they start beating up cops. And I think you made a good point that, well, I would say our criminals actually do do that, but the difference is that I feel like our criminals go to jail. And they're criminals, what happens?

they they keep they they they get to they walk free right i mean that's kind of how it is they kind of they just walk free welcome to the show dana lash here with you and uh this is i i got a couple pieces that'll be coming out for you later today but this is this this this ongoing issue republicans need to stay so laser focused on this and i i mean this should be this should be a slam dunk issue should it not i mean this should be an entirely slam dunk issue for the GOP. It really should be. And I don't know why they're still struggling with it so bad.

Why they're struggling with it, so incredibly bad. And it's such a fight. Although it does feel like to an extent, and maybe I'm wrong on this, but it kind of feels as though they've stopped pushing that bill. the Ukraine supplemental so much. I don't know. Maybe I'm maybe it's in my head. But welcome. It's good to be with you. You can listen coast to coast. You can stream the radio program. We have a video component too of the radio program that's

on channel 347 direct TV. You can find it on Facebook, YouTube as well. A few things to get. I was watching this morning. I was actually kind of shocked about this. I was watching this morning as James Biden walked into Congress or walked into the Capitol he was speaking with lawmakers and this is ongoing

he's you know the presidential he's the presidential fixer I feel like they try they try to make him the fixer who do you think is the frado between Joe and Jim

the frado? Yeah it's always a frito it'd have to be Jim yeah it'd have to be Jim they were trying to set up Bow and Hunter

like this, like Jim and Joe. They were trying to set up Bowen Hunter like this. So James Biden, there's a, there's this, this whole story with him. So he goes in, he's the president's, you know, he's the president's deal, like, you know, a fixer. He's, he handles the president's business. And now he's implicated in all of this stuff. And I was reading back by his history, this guy is so shamed.

So he's, this is after that FBI informant story came out and they're trying to say that the FBI informant isn't a legitimate guy. And so as a result, this whole thing's a sham. That's the way that they're trying to go about this. I think it's all a joke. I think that their accusations are stupid because this guy's a long time informant. And apparently they've been really happy with his work this entire time. But they had this, first they have the closed door interview and then they do the open hearing. So that's and that's what they always do. to make sure. I mean, that's good heavens. That's how it always happens. And so they're questioning his brother. His brother, how do you go? And I was looking at this. How do you go from being like this shady dude who opens up clubs like boots and pants, right? And then you're like working with Chinese businesses, unless you're the yakuza, you know, how, how are you this guy? guy. He is as sketchy and shady as the day is long.

Did you know that about him? He's a club guy. He's a nightclub owner. He's, he isn't, he opened, he ran a nightclub. And then he goes from that to being the de facto

presidential consort, sort of, to China and working with China. Tell me that that's not shady. Come on. this guy is the whole famed family is sketchy as all get out I was reading this piece it was over at the Washington Post from the other day discussing how he was using his his last name he was tied to this like hospital chain

and all this other stuff and he really used his name to try to make as much money for himself and the family's possible he he Politico had this piece when was this this was uh this was actually this was a couple days ago where they talked about this rural health care empire that was being built by this Philly area consultant. And Jim Biden, who somehow he gets hired, the nightclub owner gets hired as the consultant. This is like an episode out of Ozark, right? And I can say that because, you know, come by and honest. You hire a nightclub owner to basically help consult on your rural health care empire.

Make this make sense for me. I just, this is the level of the griff we're dealing with here. And this dude, Jim Biden He had no idea what the hell he was doing. He had no experience running nightclubs. Juan's got his picture up. Look at him. Doesn't he look like a great value version of Joe?

Right? He looks like Joe, but his face is squeezed together. He had no experience running hospitals. None at all. But Politico noted, well, he did have ties to labor unions. And his last name is Biden. Huh. Now they started doing this

when Joe Biden was still Vice President. I almost man I'm getting almost Please don't exaggerate my own words I almost feel bad for Barack Obama because he didn't just have Joe Biden he had to bring again the whole famed family. He had Jim up in his business

too. He had Jim up there. He had Hunter. He had all of the Bidens. All of them. The ladies listening to the show will appreciate this comparison. It's like when they had the Bingleys welcomed all of the Bennetts to their house

for the first time in Pride and Prejudice, and it was literally Bennett after Bennett after Bennett after Bennett, after Bennett. Same thing. Every Biden there. And remember, they had nieces and nephews that were working also in government, that they were getting nieces and nephews job. So it's not just the brother, and it's not just like the brother's wife

and it's not just, you know, Joe's sons. It's all their kids, too. So keep that in mind. All of that was happening, this exact, this period. So they had this, and, oh, and it, and it's more than just Jim and Joe. There's two other siblings. So keep all this in mind. Anyway, so they were trying to make money off of drug rehabbing and lab testing and all this, even cancer treatment. Maybe that's what Joe talked about when he was going to cure cancer. Who knows? But Jim Biden wrote at one point, Politico notes, to the CEO. of a Tampa area company that controlled licensing rights. Like, oh, great, great platform to expose my brother's team to your protocol, et cetera, et cetera. He worked, he was there with his brother. It was like the beau and hunter setup. You got a guy who runs nightclubs and all of a sudden he finds himself,

it finds himself in all of these consultancy jobs, whether it's for rural hospitals or whether it's literally for consulting a business that you create with the CCP that's all about securing rare earth minerals for China that the United States desperately needs for Joe Biden's green agenda. How do you, how are you a nightclub? And a nightclub owner, and he has all these odds and ends that he does. It's just so grifty. All these damn people get hired.

How do you get this job? How do you go from like opening boots and pants? I don't know. Did he have girls twirling on polls? I have no idea. I don't know what kind of club it was. The last name is Biden, so I'm assuming that it's not, you know, super class, okay? I just, it's just the wildest thing to me.

So now you see, there's a lot there for lawmakers to work with, a lot for them to work with. So he shows up, and man, he looks like a nightclub owner too. Man, you can call him out. You can call these shady dudes out. And I'm not saying all nightclub owners are shady. Some are. Like I'm looking at him. he's got the triple point, you know, pocket square.

He's got the weird, you know, tortoiseshell glasses, his double-breasted suit. You know, I'm looking to walk up. I'm like, oh, my gosh. But, oh, it's, you're supposed to feel bad because they drag the president's brother. That's kind of what happens, though, when you're engaged in all the shadiness. So I just cannot wait to see what comes out of this. I want to know, because we really don't know a lot about Jim, right? And this was the president's right-hand guy.

Have you ever heard him talk? You ever heard him give a speech? I'd say, Kane, I know you thought it for a split second. You thought it. Is that the body double? I know you did. I heard your thought over here.

You know me too well. Oh my gosh. You were over there grinning. I could tell you were thinking of it the whole time. But no, he's like, you know, he's got more weight on him than Joe. But I bet he sounds more sentient than Joe does. I bet he does.

So this is one of the things that we're watching today because I'm just, I'm fascinated with all of this. And in terms of how is this, how is this going to pan out? What are they going to get out of it? And then, can you imagine the public hearing for this? They're going to try to make everybody feel so bad for Joe and so bad for the family. They're going to, oh, can you believe they're dragging their family up?

So I'm just super excited about watching this. So this is one of the things that we're looking at today. Some of the other stuff that we have on deck for you today. We are 259 days out from the general election. I saw somewhere on this day in history, Carl Marks published the Communist Manifesto. Again, I'd like to take this opportunity to remind you that the only positive thing that Karl Marx ever created to anything, for anything on this world, is that he became worm food. He actually finally contributed to something. He actually fed something, and it was the worms with his big, fat, rotted corpse.

So just wanted to put that out there. Let's see. We're also going to go, oh, Joe Biden tripped up the stairs again. They even got him new shoes, and then he put his brogues back on, and he's still. and he tripped up the stairs, so we're going to get into all of this. Who's going to be the VP? The names, I'm not a fan of a lot of the names that I see on this. We're going to talk about some of the stuff as it relates to the GOP 2024. We're also going to look into some of the latest stuff. There's a U.S. ship that was carrying humanitarian aid to Yemen. The Houthis, of course, attacked it.

We're going to get into all of this. Iran and Israel are arguing over natural gas pipeline. We've got a lot of stuff domestically that we're also going to hit as well.

So a California library had to shut down over, yeah, that sounds right. Drug use and public sexy times between the bookshelves. Like can you just not be horrors out there for five seconds? It would be just awesome. Can you just, you know, chill out for a, you just give yourself enough time to check out a book and then leave the library. But it's a public library, the Contra Costa County Library's Antioch Branch. It's got a lot of hard consonants in here. Made the decision to

close beginning on Saturday because of repeat dangerous incidents. And they said that they're working to, why do you got to have security measures at the library? This is crazy. They go, well, this goes way beyond typical bad library behavior. like talking too loud or failing to return books. I mean, people are shooting up in between the shelves and, you know, having intercourse inside the library in full view. I mean, why is that, why is it a problem there? They have no idea when it's going to reopen.

They're just closing it down. That's how bad it is. So a new AI video tool, we're going to talk about AI coming up because I don't know if you've seen the Google AI. Look, this is going to, this is emerging as a digital. the number one issue. I'm telling you, is the bias that is being baked into AI. And the experiments with Google have been pretty eye-opening. But this AI video toolmaker by chat GP creators are worrying people. And they say that this new AI tool, it promises to create short videos from simple text commands.

A lot of people are being really upset over it. Someone was saying that they can actually do, like kind of like a step above a storyboard in production for TV and film because you can give a prompt and even like video prompt how you want the camera to come in and it will fill all of that in

and so Open AI they said that they're creating this text of video model that allows people to create very realistic videos with simple prompts. Now people are very nervous about it. They're nervous about it because video games are going to be impacted by this and also at some point I mean are we going to retcon history? And we're going to talk about this coming up because that's exactly

what Google AI is doing with all of this stuff. So a lot of people are right to be concerned about this. So I mentioned this earlier before, I think yesterday, Hawaii's going to, I guess they want to hurt their tourism industry. They want to slap tourists with climate taxation. You have to preserve paradise. So if you visit, you're going to have to pay an additional $25 climate tax because they say it's an assault on areas the area's natural resources. Your number one industry is tourism. And I think the Democrat leadership that doesn't know how to properly steward your resources or even deal with a wildfire is probably the number one threat and an assault on your state's resources,

not the tourists who literally come and make your bread. Oh my gosh. That's what the Hawaii governor, Josh Green, moron, or Democrat, told the Wall Street Journal, this is so ridiculous. This is so stupid. And they said, well, we're going to follow other tourist hotspots like Greece and Venice. Well, in Venice,

in Venice, they really can't, they can't have big cruise ships come in. I mean, they've changed the rules for that. There's a lot more to say about this, but we've got more to come. Stick with us. That's shameful. That are partners. People over at Goldco. Government's not going to stop print money

anytime soon, if I'm being honest. And I got some weird, weird economic financial headlines coming up. This is why you should turn to Gold Co. One of the reasons I like Gold Co is because they're just very transparent. They have this education first position. They want to provide you

The charges that I have today are against two separate individuals. Both of these are adults. And the first one is defendant Lindell Mays. Mr. Mays is an adult that my office has had no previous connection or communication with. And we charged him on Saturday morning. We asked for the charges in his case associated with this event to be sealed as that investigation was so active and ongoing. So I was not at liberty to talk with you about those particular charges until this moment. And just moments ago, the court unsealed these charges, so they are in fact now public.

Now today regarding Mr. Mays, he is in custody and he faces the following charges. Murder in the second degree, felony murder, the underlying felony of unlawful use of a weapon. And this is of course an A felony, the highest charge that Missouri has available, and it brings up to a life sentence. There are another count of unlawful use of a weapon for shooting at a person. That is the Class B felony, and the sentence range is up to 15 years on that particular count under Missouri law. And then there are two associated armed criminal action charges. Mr. Mays is being held on a $1 million bond. Now I want to go to the second individual that we have charged.

That individual is Dominic Miller. He was also charged last night for his participation in the events that occurred last week. He is an adult and he is in custody. So he's the one who's accused of shooting the DJ, the fatal shooting of the DJ that day. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash here with you. Now, these suspects are different from the two teenagers who face charges because they were in possession of firearms and resisted arrest. So there were two teenagers who were charged in connection with us. And they said a couple of days ago, the prosecutor's office said that they were working to determine how to charge them.

because they, I think they apparently were going to charge them as adults. So because the reason why this is so confusing is because the media is partisan suckage. They don't do their jobs. And it's absolutely shameful that you have no idea what's going on in this story because these people are such slaves to their political narratives that they cannot be prevailed upon to do the job of reporting the basic facts. Welcome back to the show. Bottom of this first hour, Dana Lash with you. So, as I said, these are two individuals separate from the two teenagers who were found to be in illegal possession.

They had handguns. The teenagers had handguns. They were described as juveniles, specifically and repeatedly by law enforcement because juvenile, that's illegal. Remember, words when talking about court cases, anything, everything has a lot. legal meaning. And words are are very carefully chosen because different words invoke different penalties or different measures. And juvenile, they're not 18s, but they had handguns. How they get handguns? They're not old enough to even legally purchase them. So now these two individuals,

it is interesting that we don't know the names of, or we just now finding the names of them, but we don't know very much about them. And this is because the media has made it impossible to find out. They didn't care. It is wild to me that there was more journalistic fervor in finding out the identity of a nine-year-old kid who had his face painted black and red for the chiefs at a public football game than there is for this, finding out who the people are, who the killers are here.

And the reason is because they know they just don't want to share it with the public because it destroys the narrative. and don't think for one second that these people are above that. I will remind you that one of the most underreported stories of last year, and this is supported by actual emails that were obtained via FOIA requests and made public, when you had gun control lobbyists, reach out to the CDC and demand that they remove defensive gun uses, meaning lawful, legitimate. uses of firearms in defense of life, whether it's yourself or loved ones.

And the reason why in numerous emails that are publicly available for you to read on the internet that these gun control lobbyists had demanded that the CDC remove the defensive gun usage numbers from their database, their publicly accessible website, was because, as they said in the email, it actually hurts their mission. It hurts their mission for people to be able to go to the CDC website and see that there are more legal uses, defensive uses of firearms, than there are criminal uses. And they did not want that information to be available to the public. And the CDC granted their request. They acquiesced.

So don't think for a second that these people are above this. They're not. They've proven to you time and time again that they're not. So no, they're not going to report on all of the different variables in this story because once again, it hurts the mission of the gun control lobby. And the mission of the gun control lobby is to ban all guns. It is why they have repeatedly messed up. and said so. They've said they want to ban on a semi-auto. They've already said that. They said they want to ban everything. That's their goal. And so they don't want this because they want, they can't fear monger. They don't want to talk about the race or the ages of the people involved. They don't want to talk about the fact that, well, there already are additional laws in Kansas City proper that prevent people from actually carrying in Kansas.

city. They don't talk about that. They haven't mentioned any of those things. But what they have done is try to say, oh, we need, we need to have, oh, these weak gun laws. It's one of the things I saw. One of these groups, I think it was, was it every town of the Brady group? I can't remember. One of them said this yesterday. It was the Giffords group. They were talking about Minnesota specifically. Now you remember the Minnesota story where you had a guy who was a repeat violent offender. He had been busted. He had two protective orders out against him. He had been convicted of domestic violence, assault, felony assault. He was a prohibitive possessor. He shot and killed two cops and an EMT. And Giffords goes out and says, quote, the man suspected of killing two police officers

and an EMS first responder while holding seven children hostage in Minnesota this weekend was barred from having firearms. Weak gun laws fuel illegal gun trafficking and they make us all less safe. That was a sentence they added. What do you mean weak gun? laws. What other law? He was already a prohibited possessor and he literally ignored it. What do you mean gun traffic? You know gun trafficking is also illegal? If you're talking about getting people who are prohibited in their state of residence, getting them a firearm, that's illegal. Do you know that if you're selling a firearm to someone, if it's a private transfer in state, private intrastate, private transfer, and it because it's your property, if you even suspect that somebody

might be a prohibited possessor and that comes out and that's like substantiated by evidence, that's a felony for you. This is all federally regulated. That's what I'm saying, that even private transfers are federally regulated, which is why there exist federal fines for them if you violate it. Doesn't make any sense. You know what? What about weak murder laws, as Kane says. Well, you know, we got weak murder laws. Maybe what are you going to do to make it illegal? Dumbasses, I'm so tired of this. And I'm not apologizing for my French because it's better that I say that than give somebody the back of my hand. I'm tired of this. You know why? Because I have friends who live in cities like L.A. or Chicago. I have friends that live in New York. I have friends that do particular

jobs that they live in fear of their lives. I know what it's like to live in fear. Well, I was always so I really wasn't afraid because I had the ability to defend myself. But I understand the feeling that leads to that. These people want to make you more of a target. They want to make you less safe. These people simultaneously use every kind of invective to go and attack law-abiding good people who simply want to be left alone and be able to defend themselves. And they actually try to incite violent mobs against them. They literally try to, they compromise their own position. They try to incite violent mobs against them.

And then when violent threats are issued, they don't want you to be able to defend yourself. I'm so tired of this. At a time when you see people attacking cops, you realize we've allowed in the country. under this administration alone, 7.2 million people illegally. We can't tell you where they're all from. We have no idea. We don't know if they're child molesters or if they're just regular people, everyday good people. We don't know if they're drug dealers. We don't know if they're murderers.

We don't know if they are just a time bomb waiting to go out. We don't know anything about these people. We have under this administration allowed illegally into this country a population greater than that of 36 states. 36 states. It is larger than every American city. We have no idea who they are. And you see the police getting whooped on camera. How many times now?

The police are the only people that can protect you, say the gun control lobby. How many times now? It is wild. And then nobody wants to be a police officer, and why would they? I mean, golly, you're going by these numbers. You're going to be protecting people who don't even pay your salary.

How nice is that? You get the benefit of having more work to do, but you don't get an increase in pay. And you sure as hell don't get the benefit of the doubt if you got to squeeze that trigger in defense of yourself. Or to stop someone from hurting someone else. And then we wonder why we don't have anybody who wants to be cops. I wouldn't want to be. Y'all are some self-sacrificial people because I don't love nobody enough to do that. I'm going to be honest with you.

My family and myself, and that's my friends. That's it. there's no way. But there are people who do it and they're demonized for it. That's why you see officer fatalities on the rise. And then you see videos where I mean a mob of them, a mob of people,

not even in this country legally. First thing you do to come into the countries, you enter illegally. Second thing you do is you attack the cops that are protecting the law abiding. Simply because they're trying to keep order. That Randall's place that they sent everyone to. Do you realize that that's a huge recreational center in New York, and they shut down all the kids' sports, all the kids' activities.

They sent everybody home. Kids can't even get together and have, you know, have games there. Or they can't play soccer. They can't play basketball. They can't do nothing because it got taken over.

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. An attack on one is an attack on all. That's what NATO's Article 5 says. It's a simple but powerful concept and embodies why one of America's greatest sources of our alliances. They're not only important to us, they're important to the rest of the world.

In the entire history of NATO, Article 5 has only been invoked once to stand with the United States of America after we were attacked on 9-11. The whole world knows if any adversary were to attack us, our NATO allies would have our back, and they know we would have their backs as well. And that's why what the former president said is so dangerous. He said he would encourage Russia to, and I quote, do whatever the hell they want, end of quote. A statement heard round the world. End of quote. 29 edits in a two minute video.

This is one of the things I hate about like the Insta and TikTok stuff because there's a million different edits and no one can talk in a flipping full sentence without, here's an edit here and here's another edit here. I just, you should be able to, but I people are prime. So that's why I think a lot of people didn't. It's just weird. It's weird because you can tell they would give him a sentence and he would just have to repeat it.

Because he, you know how when you start a sentence, if you're talking normally, if you're giving a speech like him, you can notice the start of an increase in energy. And then you can tell just by inflection and tonality, the energy in delivering the sentence, the everything, that there's a natural, you can tell by someone's tone

like I'm doing right now. There's the conclusion of that sentence. And there's just a natural cadence. And you can tell that he's given sentence by sentence. And when you work in broadcasting like Canada I do, you know, and you have listened to,

I don't even know how many thousands of hours of audio and you learn how to, people's voices in that, that's what he was doing. Because he would start with all of this energy and then he would come to a natural conclusion with the sentence. And then he would start a good. So it wasn't, you could cut every single thing and have it stand alone and it would make sense. It doesn't sound like it was taken mid-energy from a longer

remark. So they were feeding him line by line for two, what, two minutes, 29 cuts. That's insane. And he struggled even with that. He was struggling with that. Wild. But, you know, how dare you talk about his age or anything else? I mean, that's mean if you do. You're not supposed to. People are saying that it's done. It's, you know, like audio sound by 14 if we have time. KJP says that the New York Times has even compromised their journalistic objectivity for asking about this. Now, to your question more specifically about the New York Times coverage,

is that that display what we believe a journalistic objectivity about coverage of the president's age speaks to why we agree with former New York Times public editor Margaret Sullivan. And she says maybe the Times and other major media outlets ought to look in the mirror self-scrutiny and of and course correction are not among their core strengths. And I'll leave it there. Ooh, that's there are objectivities in question. I don't think so. All right. We got more to come. We have a second hour on the way.

You don't want to miss. We have, like I said, we got 2024 to jump into. We got some new audio related to foreign policy, the latest with the ruling the court case in New York, all of that good stuff.

What do you say to those concerns specifically if he had to pass the powers to you for one second, one minute? Heaven forbid. I ask with all due respect. But, you know, are you capable or are you ready to step into the role and do whatever the country we need? I am absolutely ready. But thank God. Our president is in good shape and good health. and is ready to lead in our second term.

Izzy, though, he's ready to lead in the second term. Do you really feel confident about her claim there? Welcome back. That's the VP, Kamala Harris. Stan Alash here with you. Top of the second hour. You can listen coast to coast. You can stream the program, Channel 347 Direct TV as well.

You can also find us YouTube, Facebook. Substack, the chapter and verse, the newsletter. I no one believes that no one believes that you know he apparently has no work before 10 a.m. He goes for a 45-minute workout when he wakes up. I was looking at a couple of different pieces on this. There's one over at Politico, one a daily mail. What? I was told that Biden does more in an hour than most of us do all day. Well, he does a 45-minute workout. He gets up. Let me see if you do more. more in your day, can't.

All right. So, you know, he gets out of bed, not usually before 10. Ooh. 45-minute workout, physical therapist. They, he focuses on balance exercises reportedly. Yeah, I just walk. Yeah, yeah. He usually gets there after, he usually gets to his Oval Office desk after 10, and he

leaves before seven. The, all, most of his, his activities, his public events are scheduled between 10 to because they say that's when he's at his sharpest. He probably has dinner right after. Yeah. They usually, they call, he's late to everything and they call it Biden time. Follow-up questions are limited. Like when he got the Egyptian leader's name wrong.

They were worried about him tripping. So like, you know, he does all that stuff. If he has to go anywhere, he, I mean, it already sounds like he's got a pretty lax day, I got to say, right? Yeah. You know, one hour, as you said, and more than one hour. Secret Service agents put an agent now on the stairs, an extra agent at the bottom, apparently. And he got new black sneakers, but he apparently stumbled up the stairs again yesterday. Because he didn't have his black sneakers on.

But he apparently got special sneakers that I guess he's supposed to wear when he goes up the stairs. So, yeah, his cat wakes him up. his four-year-old American short-haired tabby called Willow an insider White House insider says the cat wakes up

wakes him up Jill Biden is already doing a spin class cat does not wake him up that's what they say it's a lie yeah the cat doesn't care

Biden gets at least eight or nine hours of sleep Obama apparently slept five to seven Trump usually slept five to six. And they said George W. was the weirdo because he would wake up at like five in the morning. And he would read newspapers and have coffee and start his day at like six. That's not weird. It's not totally weird.

But he does his mobility workout with his physical trainer and he's not in the office. But, you know, he's definitely not in his office before 10. So I don't know. He doesn't, it sounds like his, because he was just back at his beach house last weekend, right? But he left, he didn't come back to like, what, Tuesday? Something to that if I? Do we have any video of him doing a workout, like a 45 minute?

No, but I have a million photos of him sitting on his beach chair. And I also have a million photos of Secret Service standing in the full sun on the beach. And I feel bad for them. I'm like, they can't be under an umbrella. No, they're at least in short-sleeve shirts. Oh, that's good. Button up short-sleeve shirts. But, you know, that's just, I feel bad for them.

But, yeah, he's got no cards for his whole day. Everything. He's just, I don't know, man. It's just weird. He goes to bed before 11. So if he's anywhere after 7, that's late for him. Does that sound like what Kamala Harris said that he's ready to go? It's ready to lead.

Ready to lead. I don't know. I'm not quite sure. I don't know if it is. In the meantime, they say Biden is considering, you know, that is his staff who's doing all this, and he's just the figurehead for it. He's just rubber stamping what they do. He's considering executive action. He wants to speed up.

He's having to worry about the amount of deportations now because so many Democrats are hitting him. So they can't figure out what they don't. don't want to look like they're capitulating on anything. So they're trying to figure out how they can make it look like they're speeding something up and going towards deporting people. Because like I said, and this is not, this literally is, these are hard numbers from the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol. This fiscal year alone, there was near, there's about a million border encounters already. We're, we're in February. This is crazy. The number of people who made their way illegally into the United States, into the United States climbed to just under 7.3 million.

Only just specifically during Biden's term. Now, the fiscal year, when I say that there's already been a report, it's actually 961,537 border encounters this fiscal year alone. That year runs from October to September. So that gives you an idea of where we are in it. And it's already going to break last year's record of 2.4, almost. is 2.5. It's bad. Now, the number of people, and it's almost seven, it's basically 7.3, it's 2,000 off for being 7.3. The total, it's actually higher than that, because there are about

2 million known godaways who manage to evade law enforcement. So the numbers that they're counting are people who come in and they turn themselves over to Border Patrol, and that's it. these are the godaways they're they're estimating that's anywhere between 1.8 to a little over 2 million so it doesn't include those the amount of people that have come in I said it was larger than the individual populations of 36 states and that's true that includes states like Alabama larger it's like a whole other Alabama coming in a whole other Colorado or a whole other Maryland a whole other Tennessee or a whole other Utah, a whole other West Virginia, that's how many are coming in. The figure accounts for about 18, almost 19% of California's population.

Their population is 39 million. It is 24% of the state of Texas, 31 million. And it's 37% of New York. That is how many people have entered illegally. It is stunning. Do you think that many people, do you think even half that illegally enter Canada? You don't really hear any other countries,

except countries like Germany and France. And even Britain, Britain's having a major problem right now with people trying to enter illegally. And they've been having big fights over there because their left is the same way. Their far left believes that you should just open the door to anybody. trust people take them at their word when they say they are who they are. In Italy, they were having that kind of problem, but Italy cracked down. In fact, there was a one island in the Mediterranean

that was just besieged by people coming in from North Africa and the Italian Prime Minister, Georgia Maloney, said she'd send a damn worship down there. So, but there's, Germany's had a lot of problems. They were just taken in all kinds of people. France was taken in all kinds of people. and it's taking out and all kinds of people, and you've seen what happened. Crime is skyrocketed. They're parts of Germany. I read articles every single day where they say that, well, it's not as really safe for women to walk around here, et cetera, et cetera. That's just insane.

These are numbers that, I mean, Republicans need to be seizing on this and using them to illustrate to double down on how disastrous this is. because in a lot of these states, people are given driver's licenses. They're given basically a pathway to vote pretty quickly. That is just beyond to me, but that's the reality of the situation. That's very concerning. And we were talking about law enforcement earlier. When you're bringing in a population bigger than that of, you know, a number of states or maybe some big states,

think about how much extra work that is for law enforcement. but they still get the same pay because these people aren't paying, they're not paying taxes. This is just wild. It's just wild. So I, I don't, he's fit to lead. He hasn't been leading. He hasn't been leading at all. Have you guys seen some of the stuff with Google AI?

I've been following a lot of this. There are people, so Google AI, if you, and I think it also tells you a little bit about why their search engines are, so horrible. Google search results are heinous. You have to like figure ways to cheat because you can't find anything on Google anymore. It's nothing. It's not or it's everything has a message. But the Google AI, this is just wild. So they have been feeding Google AI stuff like different prompts to see what they came up with. They they fed at a prompt the other day. Someone did about, like for instance, A friend of mine, Stephen L. Miller, not the Stephen Miller that worked with the Trump campaign, but a different one. Redstees on Twitter. He said, he entered a prompt, create a portrait of what happened at Tiananmen Square.

And Google AI said, quote, well, I am able to generate images. I am unable to fulfill your request to create a portrait of what happened at Tiananmen Square. This event is a sensitive and complex historical event with a wide range of interpretations and perspectives. It is important to approach this topic with respect and accuracy, and I'm not able to. to ensure that an image generated by me would adequately capture the nuance and gravity of the situation. That's literally what it said. For Tiananmen Square. It is bizarre. So there are people who asked it to create, I think it was,

for instance, a portrait of a professional boxer in 1920. It's Gemini. That's what they call it. And it shows like women, and they try to be so overly diversed. verse, it's ridiculous. They said, for instance, Dave Burge said, create an image of a 1900 Alabama aristocrat with his antebellum mansion. And it featured an Asian man.

It looks like he's from China, like, you know, early 1900s, and in front of a mansion, and then a rich black woman in front of a mansion. So if you didn't know history, that's what you. you would think, right? And they talked about NASCAR drivers. I mean, they, they did everything. They were, have been issuing, they did a, uh, prompted for like a recreation, a portrait of a traditional Roman soldier. And it created portrait of like, it had like, uh, young women as Roman soldiers and Asian people as soldier. I'm like, what, wait, what? That's like saying create a portrait of a traditional sumo wrestler and it shows you like a 105 pound girl. You know what I mean? Like it's that ridiculous.

Like a 105 pound white girl with blonde hair. Or show me a portrait of a traditional ninja. 115 pound white girl with blonde hair blue eyes. Right? I mean that's like that's basically what it's doing. It's so weird. And you can't they are so tied into. This is the DEI that I was talking about and nobody's really paying attention to it because there's all of this other stuff that's happening. I mean, AI is refusing to produce imagery because of any potential political, whatever, it's just, it's trying to be so completely modern era diverse that it actually will sacrifice history to represent a modern diversity, which isn't reflective of. history. And it also is the same AI that refuses to state that biological men are men and they cannot

grow and birth babies. This is the same AI. So they have entirely historically inaccurate renderings when you prompt it. They have anti-science answers when you prompt on that kind of stuff. I mean, they literally said, like for instance, someone said, generate an image of a Viking, a generating image of a traditional Viking and it showed me a female African warrior or it showed this person or what looks like honestly this looks like a

a Japanese warrior this looks like the Edo period one of the images it showed I'm like that's not even what is that even accurate this is the problem there's a lot of stuff that's going on I'm telling you this is very troubling we got more to come

great Florida-based company with family values, and they also share your beliefs, particularly about self-defense. They have the Caltech sub-2K Gen 3. If you're unfamiliar with this, the Gen 3, I have the previous iteration of this, and it is just, it's awesome innovation from Keltech. They've, I mean, the stuff that they've come out with lately, I mean, I like all their stuff, but the stuff they've come out with lately is really cool. The sub-2K Gen 3, as you know, the sub-2K, you can literally fold it. whole thing in half. It's like it's great when space is limited if you want to tuck it away, nice and neat, but it's really super easy to quick and quick to deploy as well. Now the Gen three, previously you'd have to take off your optics and all that to fold it in half. Gen three,

you don't. Everything folds up, folds in half optics and all. Simple twist and fold motion of that patent pending rotating four in. And you can twist in either direction, folds it right in half. Now they've upgraded a few other things as well. The aluminum triggers upgraded, a redesign trigger mechanics. You've got a light and five pound pool. That means, you know, more precise feedback, isolated pools that translates into improved accuracy. You also have upgraded action, a new chamber indicator, all kinds of stuff. And it's from Keltec, Made in America, family-owned values at their best. To learn more about the sub-2K, or it looks like sub-2000 in print, sub-2K, gen 3, visit

So experts are warning that Gila Monsters can bite at any time as a Colorado man, 34, is killed in the first fatal incident in 94 years. Because they are venomous. And it makes, when you're keeping them in captivity, I love this sentence, keeping them in captivity makes deadly bites likelier.

Duh? But yeah, it was a rare response from the bite of his pet Gila monster. bit him and it killed him. It's kind of sad. But also, like you should have known that. Let's see here. The, a truck rolled over and spilled thousands of gallons of milk on a Massachusetts highway. University of Iowa class uses Pokemon Go to teach math. That's kind of clever.

And it's gone on, this internet research agency spent, you know, tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars just to try to subvert and undermine our political system with lies and propaganda, disinformation, and conspiracy theories. And this was a leading one, but it, of course, continues to this day.

And my Republican colleagues say, oh, this is just more about the Russia hoax. Really, what's the hoax? Is it the invasion of Ukraine? Is it the death of Alexei Navalny? Well, so this is Jamie Raskin, Democrat. And I'm, I, Kane and I actually were talking about this a little bit. And I want to kind of start, we're going to focus on a bunch of weird things that, coming up in the days ahead, that are all related in the grand scheme of things. There's a lot of stuff at play here. And this going, this push to try to return to this Russian collusion stuff is one of them. Welcome back to the show.

Dana Lash here with you. And always a pleasure. to join you every afternoon, ladies and jeds. The return to the old Russian collusion well, that's what Democrats think is going to be a winner for them. And they're really trying to do this with this forced hand of the informant with the Biden case, which I don't believe because this guy worked all of a sudden now,

after he worked with you for decades, all of a sudden now, I just don't believe it. And I find it weird that anyone would object over this guy, but they would say nothing about Christopher Steele. I mean, he went to the Kremlin. He worked with the Kremlin, and he was paid by the Clinton campaign in the DNC. They all worked together. And that apparently wasn't enough to raise eyebrows of the same people who suddenly

want to throw this informant under the bus so they can try to destabilize the case against the Bidens. You know, this was one informant, by the way, who had said that, that basically his, his testimony, et cetera, was compromised or something. They're saying that his testimony was compromised. The whole thing is just suspicious because it is not legitimate. I just don't believe that something like this, they would have turned him out from the get-go. It just looks like a Hail Mary pass now. That's all it looks like.

And we've talked about this, you know, these past, several days, but that's exactly what it looks like. It's just weird. And the other thing, too, is there's so many, as Lorraine noted, David Wise, he's the special counsel. He's going after this guy, which is weird. But there's documentation that exists all over the internet that showed that this guy had complete authority by, from the FBI. He had he could engage in whatever activity, legal or otherwise, was necessary for the purpose of the investigation. He had the full authority from the FBI to do that. It's documented. That's been introduced as part of this investigation into this guy. The only reason that they're trying to hang him out now is because they're,

that's how close is to Biden. I mean, you've got Hunter Biden and these other gun charges and other charges. Now they're talking to Jim Biden and we were talking about him. This guy, a nightclub owner, they're laundering money right and left their stuff. You cannot tell me. I have a theory. I think that they're getting kickbacks from the cartel and all kinds of stuff. You cannot tell me otherwise. They're getting kickbacks from the CCP. They were helping the communist Chinese buy up all the rare earth element stuff all around the world. That's exactly what they were doing in the Democratic Republic of Congo. They bought the biggest coal mine in the world. That was Hunter Biden's firm, Rosemond Seneca, that enabled that facilitated that acquisition

up from the Chinese firm. They got kickbacks from it. I mean, there's receipts galore. They were getting paid off by every time Dick and Harry in every geopolitical opposition player country possible. They were getting kickbacks. I honestly think that's one of the reasons he won't close the damn border. I mean, there's enough information there to beg the question. And I think it's getting too close, so they've got to hang somebody out to make it look like all of this is bunk because this guy says it's bunk or because this guy was compromised so everything's compromised. That's what they're hoping. It's not something that's going to stand up in a court of law, but the court of law isn't what they care about. Court of Public Opinion is what they care about.

And this will stand up for some in the Court of Public Opinion. That's what this is about. And it's incredibly frustrating. All this stuff. Very, very frustrating. Now, the other things, I'm going to switch gears here. Yeah, because now it's like Audio Somebody 16. This is Congressman Dan Goldman.

They're going back to Russia, Russia, Russia. Here they go again, listen. Not only is there no evidence of any wrongdoing by President Biden, but it now appears as if the House Republican majority is being used by Russia to interfere in the 2024 election on behalf of Donald Trump. If they continue with this investigation, they are simply doing the work of Vladimir Putin to help Donald Trump win an election in November. That's where we are. I can't believe these people can say this with a straight face. It is so ridiculous to say it with a straight face. I don't even know.

To go back to that, none of these people cared again when you had a firm that was not registered as a foreign agent, but should have been. they should have been registered, according to the Foreign Agent Registration Act, because those people were here in the United States lobbying members of Congress to roll back a specific piece of legislation that penalized these Russian oligarchs after the death of this guy who blew the whistle on their embezzling. And that's called the Magnitsky Act. and these oligarchs were penalized for it, and they wanted to get it rolled back. So they enlisted this firm, ran by this guy called Glenn Simpson. The firm was called Fusion GPS.

One of the people that the Kremlin had working in the firm, Natalia, what is her name, Vela Latskaya? She was working with the firm. She was also, interestingly enough, the one dispatched to try to entrap Donald Trump Jr., in that by meeting him at Trump Tower in New York, remember, and they, oh, what did you talk about adoption? She was trying to enlist him for a conversation,

and he didn't do it. He wouldn't talk to her, and I think he kind of knew something was weird. I mean, you can say what you want about, you know, Trump or junior or whatever. I know Donald Trump, Jr., I've known him for years, and we get along. We don't agree on everything, but he's got a pretty good, I will say he's got a pretty good BS detector.

That is for certain. And he rebuffed her repeated overtures to have a meeting. And then you had the press ran and claimed that they met anyway, which literally never happened. But you had a four, someone who worked with a Kremlin doing this. Now, you tell me who's working with a Kremlin, knowing all of this stuff. This is asinine. They keep doing this stuff over and over again. And it's not just the Kremlin.

Hell, now this administration's working with the communist Chinese. And we have so much proof it could drown them. So it's not just Russia. Now it's the communist Chinese also. Big, big, big. So now they got to deflect. They got to deflect somehow. They got to figure out.

What are they going to do? Just this is what we're dealing with. This is what we're dealing with. And I really, is this going to work again on voters? Honestly, are those sounds, is that going to work again on voters to convince them? A percentage. How much stuff has got to be paraded in front of everybody before they're like, wow, it really wasn't actually Republicans.

I don't have any benefit in defending anyone from a crime they or any impropriety that they committed. I don't compromise myself by defending trash. I'm still I still come and I will I fellowship with all of you every single day regardless but and having said that

there's literally no evidence with all of the Russian stuff there's with the Republicans there is none but there is a ton it's why Hillary Clinton was fined guys her whole campaign was fined the DNC

separately was fined because they had failed to disclose that they had hired this firm to the FEC. That's sadly as close as you're going to get for any accountability with this DOJ under that. This is not going to happen. I mean, I think Trump could have done it when he was in the White House, but his one big, actually, this was his first big mistake. He's not perfect, guys. He's not, he's not Jesus. Everybody makes mistakes.

You all don't even get along with your spouses. I wish that he would have actually gone after her, the Clintons. He kept saying, I want her in jail and all this stuff, and then he didn't do it. I really think, because the same people, these are all the Clinton's allies that are doing this. You know this, right? Did you think that they were going to let up? No. That's like, it's Sun Tzu 101.

I think it would have been a lot differently had he really just gone scorched earth after he took White House with him. sure Democrats would have been mad and they would have screamed persecution. Hello, you guys tried to literally undo a 2016 election. I don't think there's enough scorched church for the earth for that. Now, a couple of other things to touch on. You know, they've been going after Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas so badly. The left does not like a smart successful black man on the Supreme Court. Clarence Thomas is one of the smartest people alive. He is a gem. He really is. he is an American icon. And they've been telling him, including that one guy, I don't even, can he, I ask somebody,

can he even legally vote here? John Oliver, he's British. I don't even know if he legally can vote. And he was telling Clarence Thomas, get off the court, get off the, I think he became a citizen,

I think. I don't care enough, so don't. I don't care. But he was telling Thomas to get the blank off the court and was trying to buy him off, which I'm pretty sure is illegal.

Anyway, audio is done by 20. This is Justice Thomas's response. to his haters. It's brilliant. One of the things I'd say in response to the media is when they talk about, or especially early on, about the way I did my job, I said, I will absolutely leave the court when I do my job as poorly as you do yours. And that was meant as a compliment, really. Do you know that him and his wife, they take their RV and they drive all around the country

on vacation? That's what he does on vacation. He's just a cool dude, man. He's a cool dude. We have Florida men on the way. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man. So a Florida man apparently took a stolen Amazon van on a 20-mile joy ride. You know, in case you were in Volusia County, Florida and wondering where your packages were.

A Florida man is behind bars. He's apparently stolen Amazon delivery van from a driver in Ormond on Beach. took it for a joy ride. The man, Matthew Darwin, Hugh Tolling, is charged with grand theft, meth trafficking, drug possession. After the incident that occurred in Volusia County, this was on Sunday. The driver, the Amazon driver, told deputies he was delivering a package

when a guy ran inside of the van, started it and drove off. He tried to get him out, but he couldn't. The van drove away. He kind of dragged him. He said he was able to track the vehicle and watch the surveillance footage from. inside and it showed the guy nodding off while driving and so he was like going 70 miles per hour he was finally stopped and taken into custody and he was rambling to deputies and he thought that

he told them that he was lost and he thought by stealing the vehicle that he would be able to find his way way out it was wild but they found all kinds of stuff meth counterfeit money all i mean all kinds of stuff on him and uh they took him into custody and uh he's in voluble County Branch Jail. Good heavens. This Florida man was arrested for assaulting a victim with a coral. Piece of coral. Okay. This was in Big Pine Key, Florida, 33-year-old. Wow. Why does he look so older than that? So much older. That's messed up. But they said the authorities said that they took him into custody. This guy, the suspect, what is with these names today? Newton Brungart. right? That's actually his name. Brungart.

So the victim sustained non-life-threatening injuries, but apparently they didn't say what happened or why he assaulted him. It was a 60-year-old male victim, but the 33-year-old apparently beat him up over the head with a coral, a piece of coral, coral rock and put cuts all over his head. So he was taken into custody.

This is a weird one, too. This Florida man was arrested after he broke into a Georgia home and made hot chocolate. I don't have any mugshot to give you. I know. It's a Florida man who went to Georgia, broke in to the house, and made hot chocolate for himself. The deputies say they responded to a call about a suspicious dude knocking on doors. And one homeowner said when he came home, his drive. door was unlocked and he saw that someone had made a cup of hot chocolate before leaving the home.

A second resident went into his home and found the suspect in his kitchen barefoot. And he told the victim to leave. The victim or the victim told him the man to leave. The man did not. So the victim called 911. The suspect only identified as a 44 year old from Doral, Florida, was taken to jail and burglary. Apparently, okay, how many people in Florida have hot chocolate? this guy drank hot chocolate at this first dude's house made himself some, then broke into this other house, made himself some. Standing there at the damn sliding glass

door, sipping hot chocolate while the homeowner comes in. I just think it's bizarre that yes, he broke into two separate houses and made himself hot chocolate. But that two separate houses, you're in Florida. Two separate houses had hot chocolate in Florida. Makes no sense.

It's weird, right? And how would he know where the damn hot chocolate is? Like you have to tell you, house apart, I guess. Well, I mean, just go in the pantry and, you know, do you keep all your powder stuff in one spot? No. What? Hell no.

What? I've got a separate pantry area for just the prep stuff. Just prepper stuff. No, I mean, like all of my powdered non-prepper materials are in one spot. Oh, maybe. On my shelf. All my chocolates are in one spot, like my baking chocolate, my melting chocolate, all this other stuff, all in one spot. all my other you know one says hunter does oh my gosh he's going to come and snort all of it all right

third hour on the way stick with us view that the audience has been asked who they think would be a good choice and various names came up um one of them was of course the vake ramaswami he's made a big splash randos who's making a parent parents today in south carolina we just found out um obviously tim scott byron donalds and a big uh presence here for tulsie gals Aber. Very interesting. And Christenome as well, I should say. Are they all on your short list? And when can you...

So he says they're all on his short list. That was Trump last night on Fox. And then he singled out Tim Scott. Audio sound like won when he was asked. Check this out. And he pledged he was going to pick a female vice president in 2020. What qualities are you looking for? are you looking for in your vice presidential pick?

Well, always the first quality has to be somebody that you think will be a good precedent, because if something should happen, you have to have somebody that's going to be a great president. A lot of people are talking about that gentleman right over there. He's been so great. He's been such a great advocate. I have to say, I don't, this is in a very positive way, Tim Scott. He's been much better for me than he was for himself. He's BLM light.

If you guys remember the policing bill and all of that stuff that he did, he like gave a lot of lip service to that. And that to me is no. I mean, he's real nice and all. And he campaigns like a nice guy. But he also, a lot of people viewed it as capitulation. Yeah, I'll go back and look at some of that stuff with that policing bill. Tulsi Gabbard, no, hell no. What are people thinking?

When the hell do people start going for anti-gun candidates? This is a woman who had backed who had previously voiced support for the assault weapons ban. What in the world? Jiminy Christmas, just because she can go on Fox and talk a good game without having to address a record that makes people think that it's acceptable? No. I think he's just keeping it out there because he wants to keep the momentum. The reason I think he was talking about Tim Scott, Tim Scott being from South Carolina, you know what that does. That makes South Carolina voters like him, more, even though they're going for him over Haley Moore, that he's just keeping that out there because he doesn't

want any of these guys to go against him right before the side. He wants to tie it up after South Carolina. So very interesting. Very interesting. but in terms of his VP pick and yeah some of the people that I think were shortlisted are knows welcome back to the show Dana Lash here with you top of this third hour can listen across the country you can stream the radio program the video component

channel 347 direct TV YouTube and Facebook as well I think there's two people that I think I think there are only two choices for him when it concerns a vice presidential pick really there's three but one will not do it

and another one may not do it I think that he has to pick a governor and I think it would have to you could either look at Brian Kemp out of Georgia Brian Kemp will not do it Brian Kemp and Trump do not get along so that's not ever going to happen

but you definitely lock in Georgia now you might think Georgia's red Georgia's been red but you know Marjorie Taylor Green's district did not vote that way during that special election in 2020 when you had what's that one crazy dude down there, Lynn Wood telling everyone not to vote and everyone went, okay, and they didn't go out to vote and so we lost the Senate. That happened. Yeah, that's just how it worked. I was down there, I know. It's not going to happen, but that would be, you know, that might not be bad.

Might not be bad at all. But there's a lot of bad water there. And then, I think Sarah Huckabee Sanders would be a good choice. That would definitely help him, I think, with more of the, his, more of the, because you have conservatives and then you have Republicans. And I think a lot of the Republicans are already in. I think she would help with a lot of conservatives, if that makes sense. And then the other option is Ron DeSantis. And I think if I'm looking at it.

at this strategically, it's a 50-50 double-edged sword for DeSantis to do that. But it's a 50-50 double-edged sword if he doesn't do it. Because if he runs on that ticket and just say, let's just say that nobody does anything to change the polling and then Democrats start spending their war chest, nothing changes in the RNC, they're broke, they can't bail Trump out, nobody's got any money to spend on ads. You have all these special interest groups and packs eating everything up and everybody ends up having their backside handed to them, then DeSantis has that on his record. If he's the VP and Trump wins, it all depends on how that term goes.

Because it's only four years. Then we've got to do this again. We don't get eight years. It's just four years. And then it depends on how that term is. because the left will then ratchet up and they will target DeSantis just as much because if it's a, even if it's a mildly successful term, DeSantis could easily pivot off of that and leverage himself in the White House. Because Democrats will not be able to raise up anyone other than Newsom or Gretchen Whitmer.

Those are the only two they got. It's Amy Klobuchar is too unlikable. She might even be more unlikable than Hillary Clinton. I don't even think that's possible, but it may be. all they have is Gavin Newsom and Gretchen Whitmer. They don't have enough time to raise up anyone else. So that would, if it's mildly successful, it would put DeSantis. He could run and he'd put him in the White House.

And really, you could say the same for any governor. But the reason that I think it would be better for Georgia or Florida is because you have to look at the number of electoral votes. And then whether or not you'd take that state anyway. you know what I mean? Would you take that state anyway? And would it be by a significant amount? Do not think Florida's ever safe. Florida was pretty solid blue in 2012.

Only just recently have they been flipping everything to red. That's because of their gubernatorial leadership. So it's still a smart, but then at the same time, you can't have two guys from Florida running. So that's a strike against considering DeSantis for it. Because Trump is not based in Florida. He can't have two guys from Florida running. So it makes it a little less likely. But I think those are really your only options.

You can't have a Nikki Haley. Even though that might be attractive to some of Trump's insiders, and I'm hearing from folks that it is to some of the people inside his circle, because she can raise money and he's going to need it with all the legal stuff that he's got going on. He's going to have to, as Andy McCarthy said yesterday, he's going to have to be in trial every single day. He's already struggling with raising money. And we're in a period of inflation.

And I think the last quarter, what is it? He raised $43 million. His legal bills were $50 million. And the RNC's a mess. And a lot of state parties are broke. Nikki Haley's been raising in some cash. Just know if she ends up being the VP pick, that's why. that it will be the only reason why.

Not kidding. There are a lot of people opposed to it, but money talks. I'm just letting you know. That will be the only reason why. Now, Sarah Huckabee-Sanders is good, and I think she can raise money in that. And she, I think, is a good temper to him,

personality-wise. But again, from Arkansas, they're already going to vote Republican. They have fewer electoral votes in some of the other states that he needs and needs to consider pulling from. So that's kind of a strike against it. But these other people, it's a joke. I know I've criticized Vivek Ramoswami. He seems like a nice guy.

But no, you don't get to not participate in any of the biggest fights and literally donate to Democrats up until like 2017 and not really do anything and then decide that you want to run and be the general of everything. No. you got to prove yourself in the trench before you can make the people trust you to follow you. That's how I look at it. I just don't follow people blindly just because they seem to speak well or can, you know, set up these confrontations where they come out on top. I am just not that easily persuaded to just blindly follow somebody. I got to, I got to see them. I got to see a record from them. I got to see them in the trench. There is this idea that is becoming ever more prevalent on the right, where the right will easily gamble on stability by going with unknowns who a heartbeat

go were far left and then decided to go far right because frankly it's more advantageous to it for them to do so and then they end up running for office and they want to take control of stuff and be a leader but when they never served if you're too damn good to serve you're not good enough to lead and I think that applies to all the other people whose names are not serious like the ones I had mentioned. So I don't know. The VP pick is, eh, that's just, it's weird.

But these trials, though, and this money, though, I'm telling you what, it is something else. So we're going to see how this, we'll see how this all goes. We were talking earlier a little, earlier today about James Biden going in.

Well, when we get updates on that, well, I'm sure that's going to be fascinating. Sure, that's going to be fascinating. Now, a few other, things that I want, I'm going to pull this up, but I want to make sure that we hit today. Because getting you set up for midweek now, I can't believe we're already midway through the week. You have on immigration, remember how I was telling you the video that you saw, and I'm not talking about the video again, but in the video where you had another video of cops that were being

attacked by people who entered the country illegally, that's at this place called Randalls. And it's like this giant recreational areas where a lot of kids. went to play, you know, different sports and all that stuff, and they cleared everybody out so that they could house all these people who entered illegally in there. And so on top of this, and a lot of people are quite upset over it, now you have Eric Adams saying that he is cutting $1 billion from the $12 billion illegal immigrant aid budget because he is, being criticized harshly. They have been handing out $10,000 debit cards. They get three meals a day, and they stay in a hotel for free. Have you been seeing this? They get nice meals too. They get

three meals a day. They get all the breakfast, lunches, and dinners, all paid for. And they live in these nice hotels. They don't have to really worry about anything. That's pretty wild. and now you're having him he's being very he's being harshly criticized which he kind of should be it's costing taxpayers just last year alone almost $13 billion

and now they want to reduce it to 10 for fiscal year 25 and this is what he said he goes when we inherited it we were in an emergency state what do you mean when you inherited it like he ran also on a platform of being a sanction

state. We played audio of his speeches. And I'm just kind of shocking. He said they're trying to stabilize the budget. They need to cut from this illegal immigrant budget. They need to cut a billion dollars from that. They have over 170,000 people who entered illegally, arrived in the city since spring of 22. And he said that, you know, they're, they're, they're trying to cut from, you know, here and there from elsewhere. But this, it's this, he got criticized for this initiative that he had proposed. And this is part of that 12, almost $13 billion budget thing. So they had this debit card scheme. And this is what people have been getting, I read a report, someone who was in New York. They watched someone use a prepaid master card. And they were

buying stuff with their prepaid master card and they were in the country illegally. It was somebody who's following the border stories and what happens, you know, after people are going to these sanctuary cities. So what Eric Adams, his whole debit card, it's called the immediate response card initiative. A family of four could get $15,000, over $15,000 a year. A single adult gets $345 a month. That's what they're proposing to do. They give them prepaid cards and they get the hotel rooms and they get their meals.

The New York Post had a full breakdown of the whole, I mean it is a very expensive scheme. This is welfare. This is, I mean, this is incentivizing people

to come here because they're going to be getting way much more on these prepaid cards than they ever would any other time. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick 5. All right, so first up here, I'll just for writing Q. Apologies for that.

This, a couple of things. This antique store shopper saw a man put, I don't want to read this. I don't want to read this. Oh. He put items in a place where items aren't supposed to go on your person, and then he put them back on the shelves, according to Texas cops. Yeah, his prison wallet.

You're correct. He used his prison wallet. And the items were disposed of, according to the store. Thank you. And barbecue justice, there's a Texas being that was shot and killed.

This is horrible. After stealing a barbecue pit from the owner, of course, the guy also feared that something else was going to happen to him, but good heavens. We have more on the way I went long. Whether you're a policy wonk, a news junkie, or simply someone hungry for insightful discourse, that Dana Show podcast has your back. Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Financial frauds are not victimless crimes. He engaged in this massive amount of fraud, and it wasn't just a simple mistake, a slight oversight. The variations were wildly exaggerated, and the extent of the fraud was staggering. Trump said the penalty, against him would drive other business. I still don't, it's weird. You need to go back and listen, and I'm going to send this out in a separate piece, the discussion that I had with Andy McCarthy yesterday about all of this, because there's no victim here.

And so who do you pay? Who gets the money? Yeah, who do you pay these damages to? Welcome back, Dana Lash here, bottom of this third hour. She says that it's not going to drive business out of, it's not going to drive businesses out of New York. tourism's up she says is it though and yeah exactly tourism is a business is it though it is weird the whole thing is weird the fact that you have to essentially ruin yourself to just advance your case to clear your name is wild and andy mccarthy one of the reasons i like him so much is he is not a partisan

he is very much an old school legal dude and he He clearly leans conservative, but he works overtime at not being partisan, which if everyone had that approach, imagine how much better everything would be. That's why I like him so much. And people will get mad at him if he is, if he seems, because I've seen people get mad at him. Actually, they got mad at him over saying that he thought that this, the punitive, the damages were ridiculous. And then, and then people will get mad at him because they'll say, well, there is legitimately a case with, one aspect of the Mar-a-Lago story. So he's very much just straight legal. He's not a partisan. And when he says something's ridiculous and uses the language that he does as someone who's

very serious, it's, you know, you should take note. And it is wild. I mean, you're looking at half a billion dollars. And I just think because Letitia James was saying that the fraud was so, I mean, they're accusing him would defrauding these banks and all those. If a bank feels like they're not getting a return on their investment. Don't they say something? They actually vet pretty thoroughly before they even enter into that agreement. And if something happens, though, do they not say something? Or they just say nothing for decades?

How does that make sense to anybody? They testified in this trial that they were not defrauded, that they actually made money and that they want to work with him again, except part of the penalty of the suit is that he can't operate in New York City for three years. So, but it's really just Letitia, James who's insisting that these people, these banks who say that they were not defrauded and they actually made money and they want to continue working with the defendant. She's saying, well, that's no, I still say he'd committed fraud, even though they're all saying he didn't. Yeah, and you made a good point yesterday by saying, please explain to us who got justice here.

Yeah, where, who exactly? Who was this on behalf of? Who does this benefit? I mean, I'm not, I'm not trying to be ironic. I mean, they can't explain that. So I just, it's just really, really weird to me. The way that they approach, it's just bizarre. It's bizarre. And he's, man, he's, uh. They made a non-crime of crime in order to go after. Well, they did more than that.

Yeah. It's because in this case, it was a non-crime that's a crime. And then in the case, Alvin Bragg brought with the payout, they tried to claim that maybe a state misdemeanor over bookmark, or over bookkeeping, they had to say that it was in as a way to hide from another criminal act that they never actually named or brought charges in so they could try to elevate that accusation up to a felony. So imagine an algebra problem or just a simple math problem. two plus two equals four. They're trying to say that two plus mystery equals four. They're not going

to define for you what that other number, what that other thing is, that other variable. They're not going to define it for you. They're not going to bring a charge over it. They're not going to do anything. But they need it to be a place marker so they can elevate that up to a felony. Because a misdemeanor in New York, well, Manhattan, I should say, you can, if it's in commission of another crime, if it's done to hide. cover up another crime, then it can be elevated to that of a felony at the discretion of the DA. And he had to really stretch to make that happen. But he never, they never said what it was. Because there's nothing there. It's also dumb. It's also dumb. I don't know. I, I'm, I'm so aggravated about all this because it's, I mean, and then, yeah, go ahead and play this. This is not a year, somebody 12. She's like, well, I guess I could take his buildings.

13, yes, correct. If he does not have funds to pay off the judgment, then we will seek, you know, judgment enforcement mechanisms in court, and we will ask the judge to seize his assets. But you, there's, based on what, there's no crime, no crime. I mean, in these cases, you have to, like, prove some sort of damages, right? No, you don't. How do you even get to that number, though?

Yeah, you don't have to do that anymore. But the damages at least are a guidepost as to what you're going to be asking for in the penalty phase of it. It's so odd. No, it doesn't. You just do it or the hell we want now. It's clearly, I mean, it's lawfare, it's persecution on a political level. That's literally what this is. I mean, can I just go out and start making citizens arrest on people?

I just because. Not just because. You have to have a reason. No, no, I don't. I don't. I can just take them into custody. You're just going by Latisha James's. You might call it kidnapping.

It's not, though. It's a detainment. Citizens arrest. Citizens arrest. That's what it is. Citizens arrest. I don't know. A couple of other things. Joe Biden said this morning, quote, starting today, the first round of folks who are enrolled in our save student loan repayment plan who have paid their loans for 10 years and borrowed $12,000 or less are going to have their debt canceled. If you struggle to pay $12,000 in 10 years, you have problems that are not going to be solved by forcing taxpayers to assume your debt. What in the world? Even with the interest, what on earth?

It's not canceled. If you don't want to pay for your college degree, why the hell should I pay for it? I mean, that feels like a legitimate question, right? Can I claim all these people's my dependents? Should be able to. Blank the IRS. Can I, can I claim Zelensky as a, as a dependent?

Oh, we all should be able to do that. Little baby Zelensky is my dependent. And we all should be able to claim that. Good night. I just, it's just shocking. So we're buying votes again. That's what that is. It's a vote buying scheme.

I mean, there's really, that's all that is. It's a vote buying scheme. They're going to, they're going to pay off. Seriously, you can't pay $12,000. and 10 years. What? That seems really irresponsible to me. Very irresponsible because it is.

Didn't the Supreme Court rule on this already? Or am I? Yeah, it doesn't matter anymore. Remember, you just do what you want. I mean, if they don't have to follow certain laws, why do I? Like, why do I have to get a tax stamp if I want to own certain things? What if I want to silence or what do I got to go ask permit? If I'm asking permission, I'm not free.

Right. if you have to ask to do something, you're not free to do it. So I have an infringement. Infringed. What if I just don't feel like following certain laws? Right? Like in Texas. You can make U-turns like everywhere.

It's kind of annoying. Except in some spots where you actually do need to make a U-turn. That's annoying. I'm just going to make U-turn there. I do what I want. And that they try to pull me over, I like you, police. I appreciate what you do. But I'm just going to be like, I do what I want.

and then just, you know, just speed away. Why not? We're just following whatever laws we want to. Laws are only as strong as the application is consistent. So, I don't know. It makes me feel, so we started watching Fargo, the TV series. It's actually pretty brilliant. And I really feel like, what's his face?

What's the guy? The bad guy in it? Golly, I can't remember his name. Married Angelina Jolie for a while. Billy Bob Thornton. I feel like Billy about Thornton's character right now. Like you're just going to do what you want. Just, you know, if we, because if, if they don't have to follow the law, why should we?

There's, there's a double standard here. There's two systems of justice. I'm so tired of the two systems of justice. And I would imagine you all are as well. It's frustrating to say nothing with, I'm still looking at this AI stuff. So I was reading that. So this. one journalist decided to ask Google AI, a libertarian journalist, about crime statistics in Houston, broken down by race, and it refused to give the information and instead directed the reporter to context that supports a systemic racism narrative.

Do you see, we are in 1984, here's the Ministry of Truth, and it's run by AI? It's here. And it's almost too late. all of this DEI is being baked into it. Your kids are going to grow up and they're going to be researching stuff and be told propaganda instead of truth. No one's going to know anything in history. We're not going to know anything about where we come from, what we've overcome, nothing. That's what we're going into right now.

It is terrifying. If you've seen some of this stuff, it is absolutely wild. someone else said show me a portrait of a father and it wouldn't do it you ask it to show you a portrait of a mother had no problem it's wild now at the same time this is all happening one other quick headline customers are tired of price increases so they're walking away from things several big brands are acknowledging that americans are tired of inflation and they're walking away from products and services because they're just not dealing with the cost anymore. Walmart's noted this as well. Panera bread has noticed a drop. They said that because people are, they're just, you know, they're comparing prices and, you know, they're not going to get their stupid Panera bread. You know what St. Louis? We call it St. Louis Bread Company. It's weird to call it Panera, isn't it? It is. It is. It's so weird. But they're saying that inflation is really hitting everything. The higher cost for ingredients, materials, labor,

McDonald's, they said that they're trying to focus more on affordability. All their stuff had to go up, and people have been leaving. They said that their sales fell about 1%. Baja Fresh, Wetzel's Pretzels, their whole food group, and they own a lot of restaurants. They said that their sales fell 1% yearly across brands. That's actually pretty significant. And they're trying to figure out how they can make general, how they're going to be able to deal with the increase in doing business,

and then selling. General Mills said that they are dealing with a quote continued challenging consumer landscape. They've seen, for instance, sales and pet food businesses fell over 4% on a yearly basis.

Nobody's paying higher prices for dog treats or dog food or even cat food. They're trading down to less expensive treats if they're even giving them anymore. Everything. Craft Heinz they saw a, oh, seven over seven percent decline in their sales and i mean this is hitting everybody home depot they've been planning for a year of moderation a year of continued moderation

customers have been reducing their average and it's continuing to increase it was under one percent now it's over one percent they said that after they had the home renovation frenzy early in the pandemic it stopped no one's doing big ticket purchases anymore. They said hamburgers even ShakeShack increased their prices. They said that their store sales, their sales haven't decreased, but they're still increasing, but the rate of growth slumped. It's wild. It is wild. And now all these businesses are trying to figure out what to do. And it doesn't look like there's relief in sight. follow dana on apple spotify or wherever you get your podcasts because knowledge is your ultimate superpower

every time i see these fines like a wall a bank is fine you know four billion dollars right and the cc takes the victims have never seen anything right they don't i don't know who's going to see this money again no one filed a charge no one filed the complaint uh so it's just an old school but i want to pick up on what you said because the judge made a similar comment uh in this right he says Speaking of President Trump, they did not rob a bank at gunpoint. Donald Trump is not burning Madoff. Yet defendants are incapable of admitting the error of their ways. It feels like the whole plan was to make President Trump bow to make him, to humble him, to take away his swag, to, you know, to remove the veneer of, you know, the anti-establishment veneer, to break him down.

That's what they're looking for, like they're going for more than anything else. And it keeps backfiring. And every time it backfires, someone sees themselves in President Trump. He's right. I mean, that's fine is still so crazy to me. And the fact that you have, as your only recourse, you have to willingly participate in your own financial destruction just to even get an appeal is just mind-blowing. that's that's not fairness and they are polarizing by playing their hand too hard they're they're polarizing people and they're they're pushing people to go against them i mean this is even this is hard even for a lot of you know democrats to explain the ones that are being honest anyway welcome back to

the program danel ash with you all right before i take all canes time it's time for today and stupidity and boy is hakeem jeffreys really giving everybody a run for their money. This is how Kim Jeffreys talking about, and picking up, by the way, this is the talking point that's gone out recently. If you're Republican and pro-Trump, you're pro-Pooten. That's just how it is.

Listen to what he says. I actually think that Donald Trump views himself as a Putin's leader dictatorial figure. He said it. And we should believe him.

That he wants to go down this road. And that's the problem that we're encountering with some of my Republican colleagues that there's a growing pro-Puton faction. Oh my gosh. And it's led by Donald Trump, some other outside figures like Tucker Carlson. And on the inside, Marjorie Taylor Green and Jim Jordan. If you've never, is this what it's like to be like high on meth listening to him? The stupidity is just dripping.
