Starting point is 00:00:00 Ms. Green from Georgia for five minute. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Excuse me, Hunter. Apparently, you're afraid of my words. Whoa. Whoa. I like to reclaim my time, Mr. Chairman. Wow, that's too bad.
Starting point is 00:00:26 I think it's clear and obvious for everyone watching this hearing today that Hunter Biden is terrified of strong conservative Republican women. Because he can't even face my words as I was about to speak to him. What a coward. Wow. So I don't know if y'all, if you all saw that circus that took place this morning, that was a straight out. I know someone else, someone else who thinks that politics begins literally the day that they decided to get a fox job. It was saying that totally was a page.
Starting point is 00:00:58 There was out of Trump's book. No, it was actually a page out of Andrew Breitbart's book. Because I remember back to the Andrew Breitbart, Anthony. Weiner saga. Remember that? And Andrew Breitbart, although he didn't storm in as a stunt, he literally was down the street and he thought he was going to check out what was happening because there were a bunch of press there. And he literally wandered into this. It was one of the funniest things. It felt like just a skit. It was hysterical, but it wasn't planned. Welcome to the show. Who boy. So that's how today's starting. Dana Lash here with you. You can listen coast to coast, got the simulcast,
Starting point is 00:01:33 everything else. I'm just, it was a stunt. And so my question, the first thing I thought, too, while Marjorie Taylor Green was talking to him, the first thing I thought too was, is, was this plan? Because the stunt that he did outside of the Capitol when he went in and was holding his little press conference, that was planned because it was Eric Swalwell, who, reserved that time and that's why they had the podium set up. That's why they had all of this set up and et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. He had that plan. Swallow had that plan. He was the one who, but they didn't say why they reserved it. They just said that it had been reserved and that's, you know, but that had been, that was planned by the Democrats. They, they organized that and
Starting point is 00:02:27 set that all up. Do you think that they were aware of this? Do you think that they were aware of his outburst and his, do you think that they were, I'm, I don't know. Like I'm, I was trying to look at some of their faces. And I don't know. I just think, you know, just seems a little bit, just seems a little bit. I don't know. I feel like a couple of them had to have known. But oh my gosh, he thinks he's just hot beans. He really does. Hunter Biden thinks that he's untouchable. He thinks he is untouchable. So it was the House Oversight Committee that did this. And the House Oversight Committee, and it all just went crazy. Everybody went crazy.
Starting point is 00:03:13 And you had Raskin, who had his opening statement. And then Marjorie Taylor Green was the one who came in and later was like, you know, I have a question, et cetera. And then it just went crazy from there. And then you have Hunter Biden. He's just so dramatic. Now, here's why he's yelling about this. He's demanding. Hunter Biden is demanding that they, and we talk.
Starting point is 00:03:35 talked a little bit about this before, that they sit him down in public. They want, he wants a whole public thing. He thinks that, that they are trying to make it to where, the public doesn't hear what he says. He wants a public hearing. He wants to answer questions publicly. Now, I've told you this before. I'm going to explain it again, just in case people miss that, miss that broadcast. The standard procedure for this is that Congress first brings someone in. And it's typically, first, it's usually typically behind closed doors. I mean, if they're going to do it open door, I mean, it's just, you know, but they do it. It's typically a closed door thing. They sit down, they meet with the people who, that they're going to be questioning and behind closed doors.
Starting point is 00:04:21 And then they have the public hearing. And they do that to make sure, I mean, I shouldn't even have to explain this to, you know, some of the stupid hunter stands out there. But apparently you do. I mean, that's like typical. That's, I mean, they've done that in every, they've done that everything. They did that with Fauci, too. I mean, they've done it with everything. And then they say, well, you say in your testimony here before this, blah, blah, blah, blah. And they, and they go back and forth and compare and contrast answers. It's like you're deposed first. And then you sit down and you answer questions publicly. He wants to skip that process, just like Democrats liked to skip the investigatory process, the investigative process, going into impeachment. Actually, you know,
Starting point is 00:04:56 investigating and finding whether or not any kind of crime has been committed before you launch, you know, an actual impeachment. They four went the formal impeachment inquiry and they just went right into it. They like skipping steps. And so he's acting as though he's trying to pretend that people are stupid enough to believe that that's not the standard operating procedure and that it's unusual for members of Congress to just demand that he sit in front of them publicly. And that's, again, that's not the case. I mean, it's completely standard for him to have gone by and closed drawers first and do it. And so he's demanding to skip that process and he just wants it all public. And he's acting as though that they have something to hide as opposed to him. And I just,
Starting point is 00:05:36 he does not have the high horse to do this on. He really doesn't. I have to say, I absolutely, I love the fact that Taylor Green told him that he was, quote, the epitome of white privilege to his face. Gally, that's like a Christmas present that I forgot was under the tree, right? Gosh, it's amazing. So it just descended into chaos, just complete and total chaos. It was beautiful to watch. I mean, I just, you know, I keep watching, I'm sorry, I keep watching all these videos. And I'm trying to watch Raskin's face because I just feel as though they, I think some of them had to have known that he was going to come in there.
Starting point is 00:06:15 I mean, I feel like he, they had to have known, right? Am I just overthinking it? There's no way he, there's no way that he does this outburst and they don't know. I mean, if I knew that they're filming some sort of documentary or whatever. Oh, that's right. That's right. For the people don't know, he's got a camera crew following him doing a documentary. So I would expect something like what we saw this morning.
Starting point is 00:06:36 I can already see the trailer. That'll already be part of the trailer. And they're going to act like, oh, Hunter Biden. He's, look at what's happening here, Hunter Biden. And they're going to have all the theatrical music. That's, goodness. So that's how everything started today. And then you had Moskowitz and Comer going back and forth because Moskowitz was trying to claim that apparently, oh, you're just doing this to beat up Hunter Biden.
Starting point is 00:07:04 I mean, gosh, this is just so stupid. It's just so damn stupid. So they, and then they had all the, you know, all of the press scrum as he's trying to leave, et cetera, et cetera. And I'm wondering, too, if, because I think he should be held in contempt. and that's what they're actually determining right now. They've, you know, found out they're making this determination right now. I really do feel like he should be held in contempt because you can't just sit here and ignore subpoenas.
Starting point is 00:07:33 You can't, that's not something that you can do. You can't just ignore them. They have the full weight of the law. They, I mean, they were issued by Congress. They have the full weight of the court issuing a subpoena to come and testify. So is that going to be the standard that they're going to allow to be set? that if someone like Hunter Biden wants to completely ignore a subpoena that others can do it as well, I mean, go back to some of the J6 stuff, go back to, you know, other things as well.
Starting point is 00:08:02 So, I mean, is that going to be, so it's just going to be up to the preference of the person who has been petitioned, whether or not they're going to ignore or honor the subpoena. Is that the rule of law that Democrats want established just to save this flabby, almost 60-year-old crackheads hide? I mean, that's, I feel like that's a legitimate question. So yeah, he's, he's sitting there. He's sitting there at this, this, this hearing. And then he stayed, then he does this stunt, storms out, makes a big deal because Green was trying to ask him a question.
Starting point is 00:08:34 Gets, you know, he gets all mad. And then he's got his whole entire, I'm looking at this in another angle, his entire film crew, the documentary film crew. Do they have, don't you have to have special permission to be in there? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Do you have to have special permission to bring your own camera crew in there? I think it's under the First Amendment. I think you can do it. No, but I mean, I'm just because wouldn't it be considered disruptive?
Starting point is 00:09:00 The reason I'm asking this is because if he had a film, if you, if you, I'm going to ask a friend of mine, who knows. If you have to have permission for it, then that means he got permission for it. And that means people obviously absolutely knew that he was going to have this big field day and he was going to do. Because if you're bringing a film crew in there with you. you're not just going to sit there and answer you're going to you're going to make it you're going to stage a stunt. I just think it just gives into it shows how desperate he is. I do think because this is going to get dragged out by Republicans to the election and they should do that because every single time you have Joe Biden going on television or heaven forbid if he has a debate or anything like that,
Starting point is 00:09:38 they can bring this up. I mean, hell, they can schedule something and ask him some questions and drag this out and make another maneuver and just make it news every single time that Joe Biden does something and they can follow him all over the campaign trail with headlines on this and that can throw stuff in everybody else's faces. Someone had made a point too because Democrats have been hemorrhaging black voters. And this is actually something that started. I think it began predating 2016. It really sped up between 2016 and 2020. And it's continued to do that black and Hispanic voters. Democrats have been hemorrhaging them. I think that Joe Biden going out there and saying that you're not black unless you vote for me hasn't been helpful. but I'm wondering, because someone else brought up cases of, you know, black Americans going to jail for, like, less, you know, in terms of tax evasion or drug charges.
Starting point is 00:10:23 And the name was thrown out, Denzel Washington. Denzel Washington, sorry, Wesley Snipes. It was Wesley Snipes that went to jail for tax evasion, wasn't he? How much did he go over to jail for? Somewhere like that. So, so I, because I remember it being, and I looked at this once already, I remember it being less than what Hunter Biden is, is, is, apparently the amount that he's apparently owes and is evading
Starting point is 00:10:49 having to pay tax on. So how is that going to look if you have the same government? Joe Biden was in elected office and Wesley Snipes went to jail for tax fraud. You send Wesley Snipes to jail, but you're not going to send Hunter Biden to jail? Oh man, a Republican
Starting point is 00:11:05 jail better be seizing on that. You better be seizing on that. Well, that's that white privilege that they always talk about, isn't it? It's the white privilege. So coming up, Kirby and Deuce's, got an argument. I mean, John Kirby got so mad. He called Deucy Bub. You just give me a second here, Bob. Isn't that what people call their kids? Sometimes like nicknames for their kids? Because the Lloyd Austin
Starting point is 00:11:27 hospitalization, as we were talking about towards the end of yesterday's show, turns out prostate cancer. Prostate cancer, any kind of surgeries for that doesn't really sound elective. They made it sound like it was this no big deal. And they didn't even notify the White House, which can you imagine skipping out on work, having a sick day, not notifying anybody? We're going to discuss that. More on 2024. I totally forgot this. I literally LOLed over this headline. Asha Hutchinson reminds Iowans that he's still running. He is still in the race and he can't make the debate stage or anything, but he
Starting point is 00:11:55 hasn't bowed out. That's hysterical. I'm cracking up over that. Using the internet without Express VPN is like leaving your laptop exposed, just wide open at the coffee shop while you like run to the register or run to use the restroom. I mean, most of the time, you're probably going to be okay. But what if one day you come back and your laptop is gone or someone's there browsing through all your stuff. I mean, every single time you connect to an unencrypted network, if you're at an airport or a hotel anywhere, anybody on the same network can gain access to your personal data, things like your financial details, your passwords. And it doesn't take a lot of technical know-how to just like hack somebody. I mean, some cheap hardware is needed and a mildly intelligent 12-year-old could do it. Your data is valuable

Biden still wants more of your money. This time, it's called a perpetuity tax. The more you make, the more you pay in. Even though you get taxed already from your income, small businesses will get waxed without seeing the money they actually put in.

Starting point is 00:13:51 And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Oh, my gosh. We have more from the Hunter Biden stuff. Someone asked him if he was on what kind of cracky smokes and I'm dead. Also, scientists discover that there's five types of Alzheimer's and they are hopeful that these discoveries, maybe the breakthroughs could lead to a cure. They say they are subtypes that are different with abnormal proteins, progression and life expectancy.
Starting point is 00:14:20 So they say that there's five different types, subtype one, two, three, four, or five. And they get into brain cell growth, the overactive immune system contributing to it, RNA dysregulation. There's a lot of very interesting stuff. So they think that this is a huge breakthrough. It's going to really, really help in finding remedies or maybe curing it altogether. pressure is building on substack to stop paying. They're saying it's Nazi writers. To stop doing revenue sharing with Nazi writers.
Starting point is 00:14:50 Now, my question is, having not seen any of these supposed Nazi writers that they're claiming exists on substack, I'm just wondering, because everyone, the left considers everybody a Nazi. I mean, remember, if you didn't support Obamacare, I literally had an elected official refer to me on CNN as a Nazi sympathizer because I did not support Obamacare. that honest to heavens happen. So I'm like, what is a not? Do they know what a Nazi is?
Starting point is 00:15:16 I mean, it's a revenue sharing thing. Subsect does not promote you. You, it's just a facilitator. It's like, it's like a platform. It's like anything else. That's all it is. They say that writers keep their sales. They take something, they take something off the top, et cetera.
Starting point is 00:15:33 I think you need to leave companies alone. And especially, I don't believe the left is the arbiter or really good with word definitions. So, I don't know. So the menthol ban, this is a big thing that's still, I mean, the fight that's still happening. The menthol ban is dividing health criminal and criminal justice advocates, which is fascinating. Criminal justice advocates say that it is going to lead to over-policing in black neighborhoods. And before you say that, menthol cigarette bans would do that, just remember, wasn't it Eric Garner that was killed because of he was selling Lucy cigarettes in New York? And that's what ended up happening.
Starting point is 00:16:04 He was killed because of the Lucy law that was passed by New York City Council. That's actually true. They literally six months prior said that they wanted a more rigorous enforcement of Lucy laws because single cigarette sales were cutting into tax revenues for New York. Go look it up. So they said that menthol cigarettes, I actually do think that there's something too that it could actually lead to over policing of certain demographics. But also, why is the government getting involved in telling you what you can and can't smoke or can and can't drink? I mean, and let's leave people alone. This is the government. They can't even, they could even make a health portal work for crying out loud.
Starting point is 00:16:36 Stop. You guys lost a jet. Come on. They did. So the SEC says it hasn't yet approved Bitcoin ETF and that the X account was compromised. So they said that it was the SECGov account on Twitter or X. They said it was compromised that the unauthorized tweet regarding Bitcoin ETFs had not yet been made by the SEC or its staff, despite the fact that they tweeted out such. They said that the price of Bitcoin spiked briefly after the initial post and then quickly slid below $46,000. So they said it was compromised. Was it though? I feel like that was a draft that went out.
Starting point is 00:17:09 that's what it. So the messenger says that Elon Musk is suspending prominent journalists and influencers. And the effect, they said it's a bunch of leftist people, people like the Intercept and others. The accounts were reinstated hours later, but they said that they were suspended because they had criticized Musk. Wait a minute. Now you guys are concerned about that stuff? Like what about when somebody like me was suspended because of the New York Post story I shared? Stay with us.

Check out the best highlights from every show and Dana's absurd truth podcast. posted daily from the Dana Show. First of all, my first question is who bribed Hunter Biden to be here today? That's my first question.
Starting point is 00:18:46 Second question, you are the epitome of white privilege coming into the oversight committee, spitting in our face, ignoring a congressional subpoena to be deposed. What are you afraid of? You have no balls to come up here. Mr. Chairman, point of inquiry. Mr. Chairman. If the lady is recognized. I'm not.
Starting point is 00:19:05 If the gentle lady wants to hear from Hunter Biden, we can hear from him right now, Mr. Chairman. Let's take a vote and hear from Hunter Biden. What are you afraid of? Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Order. Order. Are women allowed to speak in here or no? Are women allowed to speak in here? No. Could you keep interrupting me? I'll interrupt the chairman. I don't know that he's a lady. I think that that Hunter Biden should be arrested right here right now and go straight to jail.
Starting point is 00:19:30 Our nation is founded on the rule of law. Come on. Come on. The premise that the law applies equally to everyone, no matter what you're laughing. Point of order, Mr. Chairman. It doesn't matter who you are. Point of order, Mr. Chairman. Biggs over here. Donald Trump, Jr. Biggs over here.
Starting point is 00:19:45 State your point, Mr. Biggs. My point of order is this. Are we going to continue on with this blatant interruption? This is absurd and inappropriate. I intend to give my statement. I don't intend to have anybody interrupt it. I'm not going to interrupt your statement. I think you should have decorum and courtesy and don't act like a bunch of Nimrods.
Starting point is 00:20:09 You just interrupted a woman. And that's five, you know, I got, I got permission. Can we agree? Mr. Chairman. I will say it's fine one of order again. The assertion that I interrupted was absolutely false. That's typical of the gentleman who spoke it. I got permission to speak from the chairman.
Starting point is 00:20:27 I spoke. I was interrupted yet again by the gentleman who did. gentleman who doesn't choose to go through the chair and follow proper order. I encourage us. I think if we're going to have any respect at all, we need to have proper deform. This is stupid. You're well said. I'm going to big. I'm talking back to the show, Dana Lash here with you, bottom of this first hour. So that was, I'm not a Nancy Mace fan because I think she tries to be edgy and it just doesn't work. Her earrings are huge. Not that I don't like huge earrings. It's just jarring,
Starting point is 00:21:00 you know, when you're at a hearing and you're in a bright, blue like, you know, limited top and I don't know he's his big earrings on. Anyway, this is why I could never be a member of Congress. But also, I could never be a member of Congress because if I was James Comer, I would get my happy backside up off the chair and I'd be slapping people for talking to. I can't deal with this. I don't have the patience to deal with like these people are brats. I don't know that. And I like, I mean, Mace was making a point and then she slid into, let me get my sound bite. Let me get, I want to go viral on Fox tonight. So let me get my sound bite. Balls. She like slid into that. It's like you really didn't. What, what's the purpose? I mean, you,
Starting point is 00:21:43 you gave him an opening. You gave him an opening. Never make your opponent look more stable or more serious than you do. I just thought that that was, and you could tell that she wasn't fully committed to doing that because she stumbled right after she said balls, right after the and S left her mouth. She was just like, she just stumbled. Right? You know I'm right in my assessment. She wasn't fully committed. Like if you're going to go full on that, then you better go off the wall.
Starting point is 00:22:15 Right? Like you, it's like I just did. You got to commit. Right? If you're going to, especially you're going to be sitting there in Congress. I mean, you've got to really commit to this. So it's like she was trying to be really edgy. And, you know, what she could have done and what would have been the smarter thing to do was she could have used her time instead of trying to say, you know, a naughty word, she could have used her time to say, you know, Hunter Biden and his legal team insist that they are here and they've shown up and they're ready to talk, except they haven't wanted to follow
Starting point is 00:22:48 standard operating procedure as everyone else does, as Anthony Fauci has done, as even J-Sixers have done in that whole investigation, all of this. They haven't followed standard operating procedure and have met with members of Congress behind closed doors so that we could make sure that this is expedited and runs as smoothly as possible. They have absolutely denied that because then he would have no diversions. He would have to be answering questions and that would have to go on record. And that is exactly what he objects to because he knows that he is compromised. And if he has to answer any question at all whatsoever in response to the subpoena and have his answers go on record, he knows then that anything that he says can and would be held against.
Starting point is 00:23:29 him. That's what she should have said, because that's what, that's the point that needed to be drug out in front of the public instead of going, well, balls. You know, I mean, I just, she's just not graceful with this stuff. Like, don't, you know, don't, don't do the stunt unless you're, like, fully committed to it, right? Because then it allowed Hunter Biden's attorney to interrupt. And then she went, and then she went, are you interrupted in a woman? I can't stand when people do that. I cannot stand when people do it. And some of these people on our
Starting point is 00:24:01 Republican side need to stop it. No, they interrupted you because you're a member of Congress. It had nothing to do with what's between your legs. Shut up. I'm so tired of this. That's why I thought it was funny that Biden's attorney was like, you just interrupted a woman to Andy Biggs. Do you see how many times you guys let him
Starting point is 00:24:19 have two openings? You let that guy have two openings. This is, I mean, if you're going to this, this is rhetorical warfare. You got to be better than that. Allowed him two openings. Good grief. That's what aggravates me.
Starting point is 00:24:36 Am I being too harsh, Kane? Tell me if you think I'm being too mean. I mean, I hear it. When I do, when I did interviews like on gun stuff, like when I was doing two-way advocacy, I would, before I would go, and this is just what I always did. Whenever I debate someone, I will research you like a stalker. And I find all of your ticks. I find out how to push all your buttons.
Starting point is 00:24:58 I've done this even just going one on one on CNN or whatever. And I've I've done this with everybody. And doing two-way advocacy stuff and having to do interviews like the Stephanopoulos thing, for instance. I knew Stephanopoulos because I'd been on ABC election night coverage before a few years prior. So, you know, I was familiar with him. We were literally only on ever set together. And I knew that he was going to be coming spitfire. I mean, this was in the wake of Parkland.
Starting point is 00:25:23 So I was very, very prepared. I also knew how to thread my answers together without taking a single breath so that you couldn't edit my sentence out of context and that you couldn't interrupt me. And so I never gave him opportunity to interrupt me. You can go back and watch my ABC interview on that and he just kind of had to sit there. But I did a lot of legwork on that. And I made sure that I knew exactly how he spoke. And exactly I would watch his face to find out when he was going to interject and interrupt guests. Because I didn't want anyone to have any kind of opening. You have to approach something like this with that same level of seriousness and severity. Because this is, about the direction of the country. And you're talking about the president's son. And whether or not, you know, you're going to hold him in contempt in contempt of court because he ignored a subpoena issued by Congress, which is, has, you know, full effect and force of the law, full weight of the law. So you can't sit here and be like, well, um, balls or don't interrupt a woman. I mean, this is, if you, if you think that this is the fight that is worth having, then you need to treat it as a serious fight worth having. And I just get tired of all these stupid stunts that
Starting point is 00:26:21 allow for these people that are ideological opponents. to have daylight so that they can wedge through some sort of stupid objection like he just did. Do you think Hunter Biden's attorney would have been able to object and go, oh, see, they just, he's right here taking questions. Mace could have immediately neutered that. And she didn't. That's on her. That's a poor showing.
Starting point is 00:26:46 This is what I'm talking about. And now if it comes, now, now you lost your chance. He did his stunt. Now everyone's only talking about his stunt. You could have controlled that room. You anticipate, you know exactly what their objections are going to be, and you rip apart their narrative the first syllable that you get to come out of your mouth. You don't sit here and waste your time grandstanding so you can get a viral video clip. This is one of the reasons why I hate Congress.
Starting point is 00:27:11 This is an entertainment. If you jackholes want to sit here and be entertainers, go to Hollywood. If you don't make it on Hollywood, then go to OnlyFans. I'm tired of you people treating D.C. like it's a theater stage. I'm so tired of it. I'm a woman. I'm a woman and I'm telling you to stop it. Because you missed a golden opportunity here.
Starting point is 00:27:34 Fruitcake sitting right there with this stupid documentary crew and his annoying, you know, lawyer. Well, you know, he's here ready to talk and answer questions right now. Will he? Really, he's not because he's refused to follow the first step of standard operating procedure whenever we've done anything like that because he knows that if he answers a single question behind closed doors, that could be held against him before he gets out of here in public in front of all of you. That's what he's afraid of. Next. I think we need to demand better people to represent us in D.C. Honestly. I'm just, I'm just tired of this stuff. Let me, you know, let me wear my big earrings and my, and I hope I do sound mean because I'm tired of this stuff. I'm not here to be nice. I'm a voter. And I'm dissatisfied with what I see my subordinates representing me in D.C. So if I sound mean, it's because I'm being American. And people who think I'm mean are being un-American and that they think that we do not, we're not supposed to hold our subordinates. He's elected officials. to a higher standard and that we can't criticize their job performance. If you believe that, then you can kindly go and find another place to live where you have less representation and less freedom to determine your future. Because clearly, this animating spirit of liberty is not
Starting point is 00:28:40 setting well with you. So this, he was in there for 17 minutes. 17 minutes. He didn't look well, did he? Was he high? He didn't look well. He looked ashy and like ashen and his skin looked horrible. He looked just bad. He had a bad complexion. He had dark circles. He didn't look well. And you could be like, it's the stress or it's the crack. Do you think that he realized I liked what Kane said on break?
Starting point is 00:29:16 Because I said, I feel like he got nervous when he got out because he had this like big stunt. And then he storms out. Because they weren't expecting him to show up to the hearing. He shows up. So that was part one of his stunt. And then he storms out 17 minutes later, part two. And then all of a sudden, he's out in the hallway with the reporters in the media scrum. I don't know if you saw his face, but dude, he was over his head.
Starting point is 00:29:48 And he realized that he was over his head. Like his face was crazy. He had that, we got this. Listen to this. Audio somebody 15. Just listen to some of the questions they were hitting him with. Do you please, I'll answer your question if you be quiet and let me make a statement. Okay?
Starting point is 00:30:05 Crack do you normally smoke, Mr. Biden. Oh, yeah. That's crazy. What kind of, I loved, can I hear that one more time? Because the reporter was so serious. You knew that, you know that this dude's writing a story on Hunter's preferred brand of crack. Get his look. I don't, just, listen, I just got to hear it again.
Starting point is 00:30:33 Can you please, I'll answer your question if you be quiet and let me make a statement, okay? Crack do you normally smoke, Mr. Biden? I mean, that was just a very, what kind of crack do you normally smoke, Mr. Biden? is there like a bright and a sidebar? I have known nothing about crap. Is there like a particular brain? You know how like the weed people? Like there's all these strains of weed?
Starting point is 00:30:54 Is there? I have a sidebar to my sidebar. I don't get into, I don't believe the government should tell you what to consume or whatever. I don't kick. I just want to have my guns and have my money on tax and be left alone. Anyway, is it really all that different?
Starting point is 00:31:07 Or did they lie to you? Are they just all high and they just are too high to know and they think they've got it convinced in their heads that there's all these different strains? Because I'm sorry, it has turned in. into like a Portlandia skit, the marijuana stuff. Like this is our lady lavender lace. This strain is for relaxation and all that. And I just, I have no idea how that's even possible,
Starting point is 00:31:30 but it's hysterical to me. So is crack? Are they doing the same thing with crack? What's real are the strains for marijuana. What isn't real, strains of crack. Okay. There's only crack. There's only just the crack, the one crack?
Starting point is 00:31:43 It's not like you're growing crack. taking a male crack plant and cross-breeding it with a female crack plant, that's not how that works. I mean, the way that people talk about, like, the marijuana strains, it's like wine. Like, they're like Somali-A's. I don't know what you would call that for the marijuana people. I just don't know what kind of crack do you prefer? Yeah, what kind of crack do you prefer?
Starting point is 00:32:01 I mean, is there like a grain? You know, how like different, you know, if you're like- I guess there's stronger and-loat and-in-in-a-in-in-in-a-lap-I-gust. I guess there's more potent and less potent? I've never watched Breaking Bad. What? Yeah. I've never watched it. Really?
Starting point is 00:32:18 Isn't that the show about the meth? It is. So what did you learn about from crack from that? Well, I mean, essentially, I mean, look, there's just like with any drug, especially a hard drug like that, there's literally, it's not like you're breeding it. It's either potent or not as potent. That's not like a strain. Drugs 101 with cane. I just, I literally have no idea. Like I don't even know. Okay. So here's. Don't laugh at me.
Starting point is 00:32:46 This is how much I don't know about drugs. Is, okay, so there's cocaine and then there's crack, right? Right. So I know we got to get going. Steve's dying. Oh my gosh, we got to play that other sound by two. You guys are killing me. Is crack like the great value version of cocaine?
Starting point is 00:33:02 No. Okay. Because I remember Whitney Houston, she said crack is whack, and she was like offended when someone asked her if she smoked crack instead of cocaine. And it was like she felt like it was offensive because that's, you know, the downgraded. You have to cook crack into existence. Yeah. You have to make crack into existence.
Starting point is 00:33:19 Okay. So last question. So it comes in a rock form. You just said cook it. Is that what like the poor drug users have to do? Because do you have to chip it? Is it like a prospecting? You got to chip your drugs off the rock?
Starting point is 00:33:33 Like I don't know. Everybody who wants crack has to cook it. Okay. I just, I literally don't know about this. I would love. That's why that reporter's question. I was actually interested in that.
Starting point is 00:33:43 I'm like, guess what kind of cocaine? Do you do or imbibe however one does it? I mean, I don't know. I mean, is that the one with the spoons and the foil that you see in the cop shows? Correct. Oh, but you don't do the cocaine like that. Yeah, you kind of can. I've seen it.
Starting point is 00:34:01 I clearly need to, I don't know enough about drugs. Ask Hunter. It's time to break. Okay, I know. I was, long story, I was interested in that reporter's very serious question. coming up I kind of the audio somebody 28 is just killing me or 21 is killing me we got to I got to play that for you here coming up all right as we get moving our partners over a Florida based company Caltech the R50 I have the P50 I have the P50 love the it's an awesome 5-7 that's a 5-7 pistol comes in several variants now the R50 is awesome because this thing it's like takes the same magazines as a P50 but it's carbine so you have the ambicide folding stock you got the 16 inch threaded barrel great ballistics 7-8 inches of rail space up top. So you got a lot of optic options. You got real space on the bottom for accessories and also several variants, hunting serious personal defense, all of that.
Starting point is 00:34:50 It ships with two standard capacity, 50 round double stack mags that loads horizontally along the top. And just like the P-50, it's light, it's well balanced, super easy to manipulate. It's one of my favorites, actually. It's great on the range. Great for serious home protection as well.

Starting point is 00:35:29 Appreciate the passion from my friend across the aisle and the outrage. I think we're all outraged about many things. But if we're going to talk about outrageous things that have happened or things that have never happened, let's talk about the fact that President Trump incited an erection. Maybe that too. He can talk about that too, I guess. Maybe we should talk about that too. Is that what she's talking about?
Starting point is 00:35:55 Is she talking about a what? Where are you all writing me? I asked you a question. We're live as well. Yeah, but I censored myself. The erection. Premier J. Paul. He incited an erection.
Starting point is 00:36:09 Leady, I think we're getting a little bit too much info from me. just saying these are like I'm so grossed out is the word insurrection that difficult when you're congressional because how many times
Starting point is 00:36:21 I mean how many Congress people have said this now a million of them how hard is it to have your mouth make the correct words don't answer that question
Starting point is 00:36:30 so coming up Hunter Biden is asked do you have a dad it's gosh I can't deal with us this is so great or he asked we got a lot

Starting point is 00:38:16 We subpoenaed Hunter Biden, and our committee worked with Hunter Biden's attorneys and agreed on a date for him to come in for a transcribed interview, which is exactly how all committees work in Congress. You always start with a transcribed interview with a witness, and then you hold a public hearing. So we had completely agreed with his attorneys transcribed interview first. That's what the subpoena was for. and then we were going to hold a public hearing. But Hunter Biden has done nothing but try to twist and spin and lie about this entire thing. And I am pretty. See, this is how it should have gone.
Starting point is 00:38:51 I wish Green had been able to ask questions first because Nancy Mace flubbed it. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you, top of the second hour. And of course, Marjorie Taylor Green is talking about the chaos that took place in the hearing that Republicans had as to whether or not they're going to hold Hunter Biden. which they should vote to hold him in contempt of court because they subpoenaed him to come and answer questions before Congress and he ignored the subpoena. Now, what she's talking about is the standard operating procedure. You have a transcribed interview.
Starting point is 00:39:23 That happens with everybody. And they're insisting that that is, oh, Republicans are trying to be sneaky and they're trying to make it to where this isn't transparent when, no, they've already made the agreement. And that is how it always goes. You do the transcribed interview. then you have the public hearing. That's how it always is.
Starting point is 00:39:43 Hunter Biden's trying to play upon people's lack of awareness of this procedure and act as though, well, it's Republicans being sneaky as a way to deflect from his own offenses. Welcome back, as I said to the program. You can listen coast to coast. Stream the radio show, watch a simulcast 347 channel, direct TV, YouTube, Facebook, all of that. I was very critical of Nancy Mace earlier because I'm not going to play the sound bite again, but she was asking questions. It was gone.
Starting point is 00:40:10 It was like 17 minutes into the hearing. And Hunter Biden showed up. They did know he's going to show up. So he sits there for 17 minutes. And then he has this big stunt in him and all of his documentary film cameras walk out. But I'm mad because I feel like Nancy Mace was trying to go for her viral cable news moment. She wanted to have this big viral moment instead of actually making a salient point. She decided to do this very stupid theatrical stunt where she was like, you just,
Starting point is 00:40:37 don't have any balls. It's what she said. And we play the interview. Gosh, I don't want to play it again. And I'm, you know, I, and she was like flubbing it because she, she realized how stupid it was and wasn't fully committed to it. And then it all descended into chaos. When you should have right out of the gate said what Marjorie Taylor Green just said, right there. And then just said, why are you? And she could have asked, why are you trying to mislead people about the standard operating procedure that's been afforded to everyone from Anthony Fauci to even people in the J6 investigation? That's what she could have asked. And you know what? You would have robbed him of his moment to stunt.
Starting point is 00:41:08 You would have robbed him of that moment. And instead, Mace just opened it right up. Opened it right up by doing that. And then she was like, why are you interrupting a woman? And then allowed another interjection from his attorneys. Just stupid. Just so stupid. If you want to be famous, go to Hollywood.
Starting point is 00:41:27 If you want to represent the people, then you go to Washington, D.C. But you can't want to be in Hollywood and be in D.C. It's not how this works. And I'm aggravated because, there was a missed opportunity there. And it was a missed opportunity to publicly, nationally destroy that narrative in front of him. Can I play this, though? He goes out in the hallway.
Starting point is 00:41:49 And I don't think he was betting on this. Audio 7 by 21. This is crazy. Listen. Mr. Biden, why did you put your dad on speakerphone with your business workers if you had no involvement in your business? Did he call you?
Starting point is 00:42:14 Yes. Yes. But why did you need to talk to him for him? business meetings, if you had nothing to do with your business. Everybody's gone. That's it. That's it. That's it. Wow.
Starting point is 00:42:25 Do you have a dad? Does he call you? Do you add to the phone? What does that have to do with you putting your dad on speakerphone during a business meeting that you said he was completely unaware of and hadn't talked to and didn't have him on speaker phone during a business meeting? What the hell does they have to do with that? What a stupid thing to say?
Starting point is 00:42:41 How's so dumb? But you know what? But you know what, though? Now you know what pushes his buttons. You got one clue as to what pushes his buttons. if you just push just maximize that right it's as a weak spot just keep out why did you have your down at some point he's going to say something stupid because democrats usually do they can't play the long game with this kind of stuff because the pressure gets to them and they get too emotional and you can it's
Starting point is 00:43:03 so easy as long as you remain cool and chill and you don't try to see I'm just still so mad about the may sound bite is it obvious but as long as you remain cool as a cucumber you know it's all it's all good. He looks, he did not, when he walked out there and he realized there are a couple of different screenshots where his face is all. What? Oh man. Okay, can we, I, I, I just, I love all of these. I just love all of these. It's so great. So this is one thing. I want to switch gears here because we've been talking about this, because in addition to that, uh, I do want to get in, gosh, I do want to get into the Mayorkas impeachment hearing. Can we talk about what's happening? I want
Starting point is 00:43:46 to totally switch gears. Totally switch gears. John Federman has a stroke and comes back as a conservative. Now, I just noticed that his wife is on a three-week social media sabbatical, self-declared, kind of. I don't know. Are you really taking a break from social media when you're jumping on your break from social media, telling everyone that you're taking a break from social media? I don't know. Anyway, John Federman, he was asked about Hamas. I have to play audio soundbite 13 for you because, wow, listen. ask anyone if anyone that believes in a ceasefire, I would just say let's just let's call for Hamas to surrender and and we'll put down their guns. And then that would end all of the misery
Starting point is 00:44:30 and the killing and everything. You know, I believe to be on the right side for Israel on this. And I believe that we will never have peace for a stable two-state solution unless we destroy Hamas. He didn't even sound like he had a stroke. Do you notice that he sounds like he has a stroke when it seems like he's reading other people's words or trying to recite other people's words? He sounded completely fine. That's the best I've ever heard him. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:45:07 I don't know what this, right? Right? I feel like people were trying to take advantage of his health condition and use him as basically a vessel. And now he's getting his own. now he's got his own mind about him and he's recovering and I don't know it just seems like as he recovers from a stroke he got more conservative I don't know how to put it cane am I the healthier he got the healthier he got the more conservative and the more recovered his brain became I don't know it's in my head I'm trying to contrast it with what I think Dr. Oz
Starting point is 00:45:52 would have done if he was elected the Turkish guy? Yeah, so would he have spoken this? Turkish citizens? Yeah, would he have spoken this clearly about Israel and Hamas? No. I don't think he would have. He was one of the worst candidates that has ever been selected and backed by all the establishment
Starting point is 00:46:09 the Republican Party. When Fenerman was elected that I was, oh boy. Dude, I'm going to forget. He's got a pass for me for now for right now on hoodies and shorts. I don't know what the Steelers hat. It's like the last two months. Has he said anything that I disagree with in the last like month and a day? Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:46:25 Can't don't ask that question. No, we can't do, dude, stop, stop, stop. I'm just trying to be honest about it. We can't agree with someone who is a Democrat that much. That's tribalism. No, no, no. It's scientific. It's scientific.
Starting point is 00:46:41 Science? Yes. Okay. As long as it's science then. Oh my gosh. I don't, is it contagious? Having a smart take on things? I hope so.
Starting point is 00:46:53 I mean. I sure. hope so. I get nervous about agreeing with somebody that much who's on the other side of things. I'm like, wait a minute, he said something that I agree with about Hamas. What? Wait a minute. He said something I agree with about that. What? What? Does that mean, two Democrat senators, moderates? I mean, yeah. He sounds like a moderate. And they can't say anything to him because then they hate people that have had strokes. I don't know, man. I don't even, we're in a, you got the shadow people in Miami and I got Federman saying this stuff. I don't even know what's happening right now.
Starting point is 00:47:39 And then you got this crazy stuff in Ecuador. Have you seen this? They've declared a civil war. They're in a state of civil war right now. Peru called for a state of national emergency because they're spilling over to their border. Audio Sunday 14, a cartel literally took over an Ecuadorian television station. This is some of the video on audio. of it. It's wild. Pointing down right at this guy and live television. The armed cartel. They say Ecuadorians now are flooding
Starting point is 00:48:17 to the United States. The country's descended into a civil war. They said that, because it's cartel ganglying stuff, they said that this is a lot of people are now, is they're going to see a huge spike. They've been they saw a 371% increase just from 2022 alone. And they're looking what ended up happening is you had this guy, Adolfo Masias, who's the leader of this gang down there. He was in a low security prison. They were getting ready to transfer him to a maximum security prison. And he magically got out. He just, you know, magically got out. So
Starting point is 00:48:50 they're looking for him and the leader of this other gang, Los Lobos. His name is Fabricio Pico, who also escaped prison Tuesday. And he was in, he was in jail because of his involvement in this whole plot to assassinate the Attorney General of Ecuador. And so now they've all hell has broken loose. All hell has broken loose. It is wild. So they said they've, it's a civil war. They've got the cartel thugs. The president of Ecuador ordered the army into the streets. He declared a state of internal armed conflict. Criminals have been rampaging. The president Daniel Noobah 36 ordered the state of emergency. By the way, that's a very young president. 36 years old, you're a baby. I think if you're under 50, you're a baby in politics. But I also
Starting point is 00:49:39 think that if you're over 50, you're elderly in politics. So I don't know. So they said that they've had now in the wake of this, they've had a series of attacks, explosions, police officers are being abducted. They got the state of emergency and they've declared a state of civil war. And they've had, they basically have two, two gangs that are doing all this. So, and then Peru declared an emergency yesterday along its northern border because of the ongoing violence in Ecuador. So the state department's like they're very concerned. The British foreign office already told people, get out, do not travel to parts of Ecuador, get out, get out, get out. But yeah, they had bombs, they had guns, they had all kinds of stuff. And they got the Ecuador army out in the streets because
Starting point is 00:50:22 it's just, it's crazy. It's crazy. So one of the guys that, is behind this. He was drug trafficking, murder, organized crime. He was in jail for 34 years. And then the other guy is the one who was going to assassinate the Attorney General of Ecuador. And they have links with the Sinaloa cartel. So they're very well tied in with Mexico Sinaloa cartel, according to all like British, American, Mexican authorities. And they say that the gang members, I mean, they essentially rule, it doesn't matter if they're in prison or not. They still rule from inside a prison. And they think that Masias was the guy, he was the guy who was the drug trafficking guy murder, a 34-year sentence.
Starting point is 00:50:57 They said that he was still controlling, it didn't matter he was in jail in a 34-year sentence. He was still controlling his gang from the inside of prison. And so they were preparing for all of this. He escaped back in, Masias escaped back in 2013 from jail. How do these people escape from jail? Escape, air quotes, escape from jail.
Starting point is 00:51:16 In 2013. And he was recaptured some weeks later. His girlfriend, a couple of years ago, was arrested. she spent now you tell me this she spent somehow unknowingly a week sleeping in his jail cell his girlfriend in 2021 sleeping for a week in his jail cell and then she wasn't caught until she tried to leave the prison in the middle of a prison riot while wearing a guards uniform I that's like a comedy skit though she was in a guard uniform tries to live and gets busted This is crazy.
Starting point is 00:51:55 Seems like they don't have the best security at the jails. So I don't know what's going to happen, but it's civil war down there. And I think they're going to use that as a justification for more stuff at the border. Very interesting, though, how that happens. I wonder how much, it makes you kind of wonder how much the, I mean, I don't know. I got conspiracy theories. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five.
Starting point is 00:52:20 I have the best audio sound bite for you coming up, but I'm so excited. I almost can't even handle it. Okay, so, all right, fewer people want to be police. Even if you start them at $112,000 a year, because nobody wants to deal with it. Nobody wants to have their life ruin because the city council, a politically appointed chief, decides to use you and throw you under the bus because you're enforcing law or trying to deal with the crime that they've created with their bad policies. So they say that it's, they're trying to recruit people.
Starting point is 00:52:53 they're still having problems. One department's even looking at $112,000 starting pay, which is crazy. I can't even believe this is a headline. I don't even know how to share this. I don't want to share this. This is from Reuters. It's, yeah, a Russian, what? A Russian singer was detained for appearing before a concert audience. Red Hot Chili Peppers already did this.
Starting point is 00:53:16 Wearing nothing but a sock and not on his foot. And, yeah. So the peppers did it in the 90s. Yeah, they did that in the 90s. So, yeah, let's see here. Red Cross is still not helping Israeli hostage get medicine after shaming family to think of Gazans instead. That actually, there's like a video of this.
Starting point is 00:53:33 It's crazy. This one woman went 94 days without meds. And the Red Cross was saying, maybe think of the Gossens first. Somebody from the Red Cross actually said that. Okay, coming up, I'm sorry, this is short, but I'm going to make up for it with this sound bite that you're going to hear in moments and you don't want to miss it. Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. because knowledge is your ultimate superpower.
Starting point is 00:53:56 In addition to record-breaking enrollment for health care coverage through the ACA, thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, which every single Republican member of Congress voted against, we took on Big Farmer and we won. Took on Big Farmer! What? Took on Big Farmer! That's the only time I can play that Kenny Chessney song.
Starting point is 00:54:19 Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you. Corrie Jean-Pierre went to war with Big Farmer. Jolly Green Giant is still rep in Big Farmer? Paul Bunyan was the rep. May he rest in peace. And I think it was Jolly Green Giant. Ho-ho, ho.
Starting point is 00:54:41 Right? But they told him he couldn't say ho-ho-ho anymore because it was like insensitive to like promiscuous ladies. So I, you know, big farmer. Maybe she's actually talking about a large farmer. Maybe they just, you know, had a little dust. up. I don't know. Who the hell knows?
Starting point is 00:54:59 Can we play her hits here? Because she said some things in the past, KJP, where I mean, she might be talking about a large farming person. I don't know. Kane, what's some of the other stuff she said? Remember? Just so you know, this montage was created nearly a year ago. So it just gives you an idea of how long she's been mispronouncing things. We're going to try to see if we can get through this without an eruption.
Starting point is 00:55:23 Yeah, listen to all of this. Benedict 16th. Emeritus. Stop. Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, blah, blah, blah. She meant emeritus, but emeritus sounds like a nasty foot disease. Oh, what's wrong with you?
Starting point is 00:55:36 It's my MRIitis. Oh, it's just... Antibiotic for that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, go ahead. Sorry. So, bicarmal, bipartisan support. Dr. Jones...
Starting point is 00:55:44 So, bicarmal, does that mean two separate types of carmels? Yes. My favorite kind of caramel. Not by caramel. By caramel. By caramel. That's a fancy way to say caramel.
Starting point is 00:55:55 Okay. go on. Clouser, who won the Nobel Prize. Oh, Nobel Prize. You know, it is, Kane, we were talking about this. I mean, the Nobel Prize is respectable.
Starting point is 00:56:07 It's a respectable Nobel Prize. To say otherwise is just denying science. Yeah, I mean, it goes to, noble people win the prize, right? I mean, it is, you know, it's real, R-I-L, it is real respectable. The Nobel Prize is, you know, it's noble. It is noble.
Starting point is 00:56:26 It is esteemed. It is respected. You know, it's a real noble. Go ahead. Sciences. The vice president will visit the DMZ. Nearly 70 years since the Korean arms. The, it's the demilitarized zone.
Starting point is 00:56:47 Okay, go ahead. The visit using energy, they're weaponizing energy. And it's choosing to, one of the things that has been out there, to shut down the pipeline of Nordstrom 1 instead of risking their lives. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Now, this is when I'm really going to object, because Nordstrom has some great sales. And now when you shut down the pipeline of those sales, like they have a real good sales going on right now. When you shut, when you shut down that Nordstrom sale, leave the Nordstrom sale pipeline alone.
Starting point is 00:57:17 I want the pipeline of sales. They're screw up their supply chain. I'm telling you, like they got some great deals right now on like some out of season stuff. Like you can get some stuff up to like 70% off. They're not advertising on the show, but hell they all too have to this point. I mean, the Nordstrom pipeline, but I had a Nordstrom pipeline. Like, can you imagine, like, right to your house? Go ahead, sorry.
Starting point is 00:57:36 Human strugglers. Human struggles. Human. Not smugglers. They're not human smugglers. They're human strugglers. Like, they're, like, aliens? Like, struggling to be human?
Starting point is 00:57:50 No, I think they said there's human struggles. Like struggling humans? Yeah. Well, some days I struggle. Am I a human struggler? Federally illegal to struggle, humans. Yeah, what is a struggler? Like, is there any other type of human, like a lizard struggler?
Starting point is 00:58:09 Like, that lizard is struggling. Or look at that rhinoceros. That's a struggling right now. It's a rhinoceros struggler. It's just struggling really badly. It's a drought or something. I don't know, right? Big farmer.
Starting point is 00:58:25 We went out into the fields. And we beat there. I mean, I'm just big farmer. She's, well. Juan, you have tyranny? Because we haven't, you know, tyranny is a serious thing. I'm sorry. What?
Starting point is 00:58:44 KJP, though, tyranny, this is how she pronounces it. We will continue to take actions to support Ukraine in their fight for freedom against tyranny. And to curb Arons. She's like my mom. My mom. Don't tell her this. She's just like basic everyday words. Sometimes I think it's on purpose.
Starting point is 00:59:03 It's just like a random basic everyday word. She will take it and turn it inside out. And you're just, you're like, what? I'm, what? You put the wrong emphasis on the improper syllable. You have to put the emphasis on this salable. That's like, I mean, she's not as bad as Jill Biden. Cé Poitway.
Starting point is 00:59:27 She's not as bad as that. or I have to actually stop and make myself say it wrong. Bogoda. Bogada. But they have like a real problem with language and this administration. Tyranny. You know, like when you tie your shoes, tyranny. It's a special knot.
Starting point is 00:59:48 So it doesn't come on tide when you're running. So when they said they took on big farmer, what does that mean? I mean, well, let's look at it, though. They kind of did look at food prices. They're trying to get you to not eat meat. We took on Big Farmer, the John Deere people. But Big Farmer, though, you literally mandated pharmaceuticals, a pharmaceutical. How is that taking them on?
Starting point is 01:00:16 We demand that you give these people money. Like, you bought them. You bought all kinds of pharmaceutical stuff for the Rona with taxpayer dollars. You gave them billions of taxpayer dollars. How in the hell is that taking them on? I have never take... Is that the new definition of taking... Somebody take me on, damn.
Starting point is 01:00:37 Yes, come take me on. Give me some... This is when aha comes in. Give me some billions of dollars, please. This take on a big farmer brought to you by Pfizer. Yeah. Pfizer taking on Big Farmer every day. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 01:00:58 I can't. I can't. So that's... I mean... It's unintentionally honest, I guess. I don't know. I don't know. I just, this is one of my favorite soundbites so far.
Starting point is 01:01:08 We're not even a full week into this year. And I'm already like, big farmer. All right. Spinning G's. Big farmer. It's the same. All right. So there's actually other things.
Starting point is 01:01:18 I've been so distracted by all the stuff that's been coming out lately that I can't, I can't deal. Let's see. Got a couple of other things to hit. Ooh. Here's one thing I wanted to hit that it's way back here. Gavin Newsom was spotted in Mexico. all down in Mexicolly Gavin Newsom
Starting point is 01:01:39 he was at the Four Seasons in Tamarindo Mexico with Bill Clinton all these people who are going oh Michelle Obama they're getting her ready to run no they're not stop it no they're not getting that woman ready to run
Starting point is 01:01:56 she's not going to run because it's Gavin Newsom Gavin Newsom has got more like a bit. Michelle Obama kind of suffers not to the extent that Hillary Clinton does, but Michelle Obama has a problem with amiability. That's a big deal. That's something that, and I think actually Gavin Newsom has a little bit of that to worry about with some of the independence in that. What I mean by that is that, you know, when Hillary Clinton, Hillary Clinton's, when she, when Bill Clinton ran for president, I was in, gosh, junior high. And even my hardcore, members of my hardcore Democrat family, it was always, it was the women, too. It wasn't, the men weren't as, they didn't feel as strongly about it as the women did.
Starting point is 01:02:43 And I know that there was a lot of discussion about this at the time too. And even later on when she was running for Senate, there was a lot of discussion. She struggled to get people to like her. Even when she was trying to smile and do all that, it was just creepy, right? It's like a devil coming out of the closet at night at the foot of your bed smiling at you. It's like a horror film. It's like, let's stop. You know, stop showing me your razor teeth. It's creepy. But she just does not come off as a likable person. And that, and she doesn't work at it either. And she's, I don't, I think some of it is that's, that's something about her personality that she cannot change. But then the other part of it is, is that she does not police that. And even when, you know, she thinks no one's watching, like when they were at the, um, Chipotle. And she kept her sunglasses,
Starting point is 01:03:32 didn't talk to anyone. I mean, you could have used that as a, I mean, you were literally in a swing state. You could have used that as like a campaign stop. She didn't do it. Like you have to maximize every, she didn't do it. And you remember you saw her on that CCTV and nobody even knew that it was her in there until after and then it looked really bad for her. She just, she just doesn't care enough to even police that part of her personality or to try to improve and make her seem likable. Michelle Obama is like half and half. She came across as more relatable than Hillary Clinton when she was in the White House. But she, she, complains all the damn time.
Starting point is 01:04:05 Like this woman is entitled. Michelle Obama is entitled. She's got a privilege that I do not have. She grew up wealthy. She went to a wealthy school. She came from a well, she came from a family unit intact. She came from a wealthy family, went to a wealthy school,
Starting point is 01:04:22 just like her husband, who was born into a wealthy family, went to a wealthy school. They are both two of the most privileged damn people I have ever seen, especially to my broke rural backside being raised for part of my life by a single mom who worked three jobs and try to make ends meet. So yeah, mega privileged. And she complains about it all the damn time. Oh my gosh, they complain about their grad student bills.
Starting point is 01:04:48 Oh my gosh, they complain about the stuff in the White House. You live in a flipping mansion. You fly private. Stop complaining about your life and take some inventory of what you have been blessed with. for the love. And that makes her unlikable. And a lot of people that just, including Democrats, that just strikes them as off. And whenever you have a couple, especially one in public office like this, and one of the, what the husband's elected and the wife isn't, you just look, when you complain about everything all the time, it just looks horrible. You look like that wife,
Starting point is 01:05:27 that one half of that couple. You just don't want to look like that. And it just, I just don't think it, and I just don't think that she wants to run. I think that she's kind of trying to help out, but not really. I think she's only showing up so that the Obama's cannot be blamed for allowing his VP to have failed because he is, Barack Obama is very protective of his legacy. And you have to realize that Biden's attached to Obama still, being that that was his VP, even though he can run on his own decisions that he makes while he's president of the United States. However, you have to realize, too, that if support for him fades, it's also considered
Starting point is 01:06:07 a measure of waning support or maybe influence that the Obama's hold, right? And I feel like that's the only reason why they even show up is just like to maintain this, you know, influence. That's it. She has no interest in running. And she has set up before, if she was interested in running, there are a million other things that she would be doing right now that she's not doing. and she has no interest in running. Now, Gavin Newsome is doing the things that you would do if you were going to run. Like if Michelle Obama was going to run,
Starting point is 01:06:37 she would be doing, there would be a lot of stunts that she would be setting. She wouldn't just be showing up at a couple places here and there. She wouldn't just be doing interviews on, you know, she did one interview on a podcast and people are like, she's running. She's not.
Starting point is 01:06:48 She is just trying to maintain their level of influence. Notice Barack Obama is just totally MIA. He's got way more influence than she does, and he can barely be prevailed upon to say a word in Joe's favor. So, you know, it's, she's not running. This is just about them maintaining influence. Gavin Newsom is running.
Starting point is 01:07:10 He's right there. And the fact that he's out there with Bill Clinton, because remember the Clintons and the Obama's never, they're still not really allies. They're not friends. They don't come from the same camp. You don't see Michelle Obama down there vacationing. You don't see the Obama's vacationing with Clinton.
Starting point is 01:07:26 But you see Gavin Newsom vacationing with the Clintons. now Bill Clinton still goes out there in fundraisers Barack Obama doesn't really Bill Clinton still has amiability he's still considered a likable figure he just doesn't have as much influence but he still can get the old money folks to open their purses but he that's that's what
Starting point is 01:07:49 they're still going to be competing for influence but the fact that Newsom's down there with Clinton that to me is interesting but Newsom's running and he's you know wants to he he does all this stuff to remind everyone i'm still here and i could still step in at any time i think if um mark my words if trump is at the nominee they'll switch Biden out they will switch Biden out he's only competitive against Trump that's a fact you don't have to like me or like what i'm saying there's just a million polls out there from a span of like a year
Starting point is 01:08:25 that show this. He's only competitive against Trump. If Trump is not the nominee, they are going to switch him out and they're going to switch him out with Newsom. Mark my words. That's why California changed it. That's why the Democrats change their bylaws. That's why they change their bylaws. And that's why they're trying to groom other people to come up under Newsom in California right now. Mark my words. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida, man. All right, so where to start? Let's start with this one. This headline is just all wrong. Everything about this is horrible. A Florida man hides meth in his butt after hitting a paraplegic bicyclist. Oh my gosh. I have tears in my eyes.
Starting point is 01:09:23 Okay, it was a Ford hatchback that hit the bicyclist identified as Stephen Watkins. Oh my gosh, Flager County. The paraplegic bicyclist had been paralyzed from the waist down to a staff infection that he contracted at work. He had minor injuries from the incident. was transported to a local hospital. And the guy who is driving, the dude name, oh, the driver, well, she looks like a dude. 48-year-old Clara Smith, she looks legit like she's 80. Oh, wow. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 01:09:57 And she, apparently, she and her passenger, they hit the bicyclist. They didn't stop. And then the police noted that they had damage to their Ford hatchback corresponding with the incident. And she said that she hit a curb. and the crystal like substance they found in her purse, it was meth, and then they caught it on body camera footage,
Starting point is 01:10:20 the guy trying to hide it in his butt. Literally it was on body cam footage. And they told him to stop that. So they took him, and they took them into custody. The guy's being held in $8,000 bond, she's being held on $3,500 bond because, you know, he did the, tried to hide the stuff, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:38 Let's see. I got a floor of cane always says old people aren't innocent. A elderly man with a cane tried to rob a bank with a knife and Pensacola. An elderly man tried to rob a Snovis bank. The 74-year-old Randall Diggsby walked in with his cane, branded, brandished a knife and took a small amount of cash. And he was arrested outside the bank at the moment that he hobbled out. So there were no injuries. The stolen money was recovered.
Starting point is 01:11:07 And not all. people are innocent. It's not my fault. You hate old people. So, yeah. And then I got this one, a Florida man tried to burn a deputy's face with a meth torch. Is there like a specific torch for just the meth? Like, what about like a candle torch? Is that like the same thing? No. Stay with us. Third hour on the way. They enacted protections for the sanctity of life. I'm the only one that's been able to do that. Hold on, hold on, hold on. No oil money. No oil money. No oil money. No oil money. No oil money. You live and you learn with these people, right?
Starting point is 01:11:42 All right. All right. Well, you guys, that was a mistake. You guys didn't get that one right. Okay. I like how chilly was. Then he goes right back into it. I was Ron DeSantis at the town hall last night,
Starting point is 01:11:55 which I think he did a phenomenal lot, by the way. He just laid out receipt after receipt after receipt after receipt. And I mean, at some point, like everyone was like, okay, we're tired of hearing about all your wins now. Why can't they be the nation's wins? not just Florida. You guys are stingy with all your wins. But first off, welcome back to the program, Dana last year with you. Listen coast to coast. You got the simulcast and 347, Channel 347 DirecTV is how you can watch the video component of the radio program.
Starting point is 01:12:22 Yeah, I thought they, so those were like, they were anti-oil, right? No oil, whatever protesters that. Oil money. Yeah, got up there and decided to protest him while wearing petroleum. This is one thing I never understand. because those are the no oil people with their red and black signs or their yellow sorry yellow and black signs they're they're like the no oil no and they think that if they don't drive a car or buy oil that they're not using it at all which is the stupidest thing ever notice they all have phones you know how much petroleum is made your phone's made a petroleum the battery in your phone petroleum so they're up there with their phones recording themselves using petroleum while screaming against oil Their phone batteries use petroleum while they scream against oil. I mean, I'm pretty sure they've used Band-Aids before. Guess what?
Starting point is 01:13:17 Yeah, you have, it's made with petroleum. I mean, there's all kinds of stuff. I mean, ink, if they print things, guess what? Their signs made with petroleum. They had petroleum that used it. Puddies, dyes, panty hose. You name it. Yarn.
Starting point is 01:13:36 Everything. shoe polish perfume fishing lures everything there is literally petroleum in everything so shut up just go back to nature that wasn't as dumb though is what we saw here this was in san francisco so let me set this up so there's i don't know who this is it's some kind of gen z they don't represent all gen z i saw a lot of boomers in there hippie boomers like the bad hippies that were in there they uh this group i guess san francisco voted for a ceasefire and i this was their san francisco board of supervisors passed a resolution calling for a gaza ceasefire here were the all the ceasefire people there at the board of supervisors one has the video they're like a bunch of terrorist supporters
Starting point is 01:14:37 The guy with the top knot is just stop it. So yeah, they're up there. So San Francisco, they passed a resolution for a ceasefire all the way the hell over in Gaza. Yeah. So what is this going to do exactly? What this 8-3 vote specifically? What is this going to do? Not a damn thing.
Starting point is 01:15:07 So I was right. Okay. So they, it would be like Tel Aviv passing a resolution to clean up all the needles and feces in San Francisco. It would be like the, I don't even know if Tel Aviv has a board of supervisors, but if they did, it would be like the, you know, whether they exist or not board of supervisors in Tel Aviv voting, saying, you know what we need to do? We need to affirm a resolution calling for the poop and needles to be cleaned up in San Francisco. And it's amazing because none of the supervisors, they didn't actually vote on a resolution to clean up the poop in needles in San Francisco. That, you know, that's the city that has the literal poop map. I have a friend who left there four years ago, her and her husband,
Starting point is 01:15:53 and they ended up, they ended up moving to Nevada. And she's like, she goes, that poop map's no joke. She goes, it's real. She goes, is updated all the time. Like, are you serious? She's like, yes. And sometimes, like, they'll put. notes in it, which I've never actually gone to look at the map and look at all the little
Starting point is 01:16:09 individual things. Like people are obsessive. They will update it. Like, well, it was cleaned up and here's another new load. I'm not kidding you. She's like, that's not a joke. They moved to Nevada. So they live outside of, is it Garland? I've been there before. It's a beautiful area. Anyway, is it Garland? It's like North, it's like by Reno. They live up there. And of course, yes, they work in tech, but they can also work from home. So she's like, like, yeah, that poop map is no joke. She's like, it's totally real. And she was one of those people who was a moderate Democrat. And I've known her since. Gosh, she actually came to a Tea Party thing, years ago. And she's always been kind of a moderate. But she's become, because of the crime in that,
Starting point is 01:16:52 that single issue has driven her to become a Republican. But she's like, it's no joke. And it's updated. They updated. It's like an actual thing. That's wild to me. So they didn't actually, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. They didn't actually like pass a resolution to say, hey, you know the deuce that was dropped down the street outside of the Starbucks? Can we get that cleaned up? Like, can we get somebody to like Clorox wipe it or something? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:17:26 Like get it out over there. This is something we can do. They didn't do that. What is the point of this? So they, and that they, they got made. Let me pull this up. They got mad at one dude. Hold up. One of their, so it was eight to three. They had an hours long discussion. Okay, guys, San Francisco supervisors had an hours long discussion about Israel and Gaza. San Francisco Board of Supervisors. Now, I'm all four people saying, you know, where they stand.
Starting point is 01:17:59 But when you're the Board of Supervisors, that's literally your job is like your city business. That's it. Like none of the national politics or international or geopolitical anything means anything. Just deal with the issues of your city. Did they solve all the issues of their city? And we just not know about it. Did they solve all the issues of crime and homelessness and the deuce dropping and the needles everywhere and the sky high rent and the fact that you can't even buy property there hardly at all anymore? I mean, did they solve all these issues already? They didn't.
Starting point is 01:18:30 As you alluded to, I mean, they have to update that app all the time. imagine knowing where all the poop is, but still not being able to keep up with it. I mean, it's, yeah, it's like the people that, it's like weighs, but for poop. Right. Right. So they, but they, dude, they had a heated, it says hours, KTUV says, hours long debate about just the Israel and Gaza thing. And one dude, hold up. One dude, oh, uh, some spoke out, blah, blah, blah, blah. Oh, supervisor Matt Dorsey tried to add words to the resolution to condemn. This is like the ints in Lord of the Rings, except they're debating over stupid things.
Starting point is 01:19:22 They're debating over a little rhetoric. Can we add some words to condemn Hamas? And then that made all the other supervisors mad. And so they debated with him about it for like an hour longer. It is just condemn it. It's stupid to not. They're terrorists. condemn it.
Starting point is 01:19:38 And? Can the board? I think the whole dame area is terrorist, if you want to be honest. Can the board of directors enforce this in any way? No. What are they going to do? Go over there and be like, we voted. Hey, you just give me a great idea.
Starting point is 01:19:51 I propose. Here, the board of supervisors on the Dana show came. We're going to vote for it. All right. I, vote to have me, make a proposal. Aye. All in favor? Aye.
Starting point is 01:20:03 All opposed. Shut up. Okay. So here's the proposal. I propose that we send the board of supervisors in San Francisco to Gaza to lecture Hamas about how everyone needs to abide by their decisions, right? Do we support this proposal? All in favor?
Starting point is 01:20:19 Aye. All opposed? Okay. So it's done. It's affirmed. It's confirmed. They need to go over there. We voted.
Starting point is 01:20:25 So let's make it happen. So they have to, we voted on it here on the Danish show. So they have to, that's how this works, right? Clearly. Our localized, individualized. and had nothing to do with anything vote matters. Totally, totally. So they got to go over there.
Starting point is 01:20:43 And then you had this guy, Alan Burradale, who said there must be language added to make it less offensive. Do they know where the offensiveness is? It's the fact that they spent tax dollars doing this. For hours. That's what's offensive. What?
Starting point is 01:21:04 Do they, I mean, I just think that there's probably, like, a lot of other things going on right now there. Can they even watch? I mean, how much you want to bet? One of them walked outside to go back home, slipped on a turbo turd and just slid all the way down into the bay. How much you want to bet? It can happen. A ceasefire.
Starting point is 01:21:20 Maybe you have a ceasefire on the pooping outside. Cease fire than butts. How about that? Cease feces. Sease feces. You need to cease feces resolution. I can't believe they spent all in all. I read one.
Starting point is 01:21:37 It was like somebody said that. total. They had like six hours, five to six hours of debate. Dude, you're a board of supervisors for San Francisco. I can't, I just, I don't know, man. I'm trying, I just don't know. I, is California, just like the United States may not need a sec death. Yeah. Do they need a board of directors in California? Uh, I don't know. Yeah, I don't know that they do. I don't, Yeah. Wow. So, yeah, I don't, I don't know. All right. So this, we've been following everything from the Hunter Biden stuff. They have the Mayorkas impeachment trial or impeachment hearing, the inquiry, impeachment inquiry taking place as well. Do we have this? I'm going to pull this up because I want to shift some gears. So you had John Kirby and Peter Ducey. John Kirby was answering a lot. lot of very difficult questions because of the Lloyd Austin stuff. And John Kirby didn't really like it. And we got a two-parter. Here is number one.
Starting point is 01:22:54 Okay, thank you for all the detail on that. But more broadly, why should we believe anything that this administration tells us about anything ever again? I think we all recognize, and I think the Pentagon has been very, very honest with themselves about the challenge to credibility by what has transpired here and by what and by
Starting point is 01:23:19 how how hard it was for them to be fully transparent with the American people. I think we all recognize that. Wait, wait, just give me a second. I know you got another one coming here, but we all recognize that this didn't unfold
Starting point is 01:23:38 the way it should have. On so many levels, levels, not just the notification process up the chain of command, but the transparency issues. We all recognize that. And I think we all want to make sure we learn from that. It's up to you and your colleagues, and it's up to the American people to determine how much they're going to ascribe what happened here to our credibility on every single issue. But in every way, Secretary Austin has been an exceptional defense secretary, and he still
Starting point is 01:24:05 has the full faith and confidence of the commander-in-chief. He has led the department at an... It's struggling. It's struggling. He's like, listen, Bob, he's struggling. Who, boy. We have more to come, too. A lot more on the way.
Starting point is 01:24:20 And also the big argument over ID for voting. We've got to talk about that as well because now Elon Musk entered the chat. And he's also, like, confused as to why you don't. Not every state requires it. I know. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. scaffolders got revenge on a rude motorist who refused to move a car by barricading him in.
Starting point is 01:24:44 This is according to The Daily Star. It was, uh, they took revenge on this dude. This was in Britain, this 23-year-old, uh, they says, while working on a property in Birmingham, he and his workers were accosted by a man who they say they politely asked to move from a parking bay because they had the scaffolding over there and they needed to work on this building. Uh, and he didn't require, or comply. He said no. and then he told the workers he would tell them the law and then it was a white Volkswagen and so they asked him to do it
Starting point is 01:25:14 because they were unloading these 21 foot long poles and they said that the guy could see that they were doing work and anyway so they boxed him in with the scaffolding so he couldn't get his car out so it's like legit like his car was in scaffolding you didn't move your car so I don't know
Starting point is 01:25:31 let's see this a Taco Bell worker slapped an angry customer who blew up his microwave. So again, on TikTok, it's just the worst of the worst on TikTok. So they said that a customer who
Starting point is 01:25:46 this is the worst, Dextero is the source and it's like clearly written by people who have no understanding of sentences or how to even write a damn story. I didn't even know what the hell's happening anymore. They said apparently some microwave blow up because the story is so poorly written by a guy named
Starting point is 01:26:03 Mira Jaka. It's so bad. I guess what? They blew they heated up something in the Taco Bowl microwave This is so bad. This is such a bad story. That's such a badly written story. That person needs to be fired. Crawfish boils are illegal in Colorado. When were they not?
Starting point is 01:26:19 Yes, apparently. If you had a crawfish boil in Colorado before 2024, it was illegal. They had banned it. Colorado? Yes, you could not import, transport, or possess crawfish for human consumption.
Starting point is 01:26:35 I don't know. They said that state wildlife officials were only aware of it because somebody was cited for illegal importation. I had no clue that you could not have crawfish in Colorado this whole time. And it was like a $91 fine. $91, you know. I had no idea. So it's legal there now?
Starting point is 01:26:58 I don't know. California is getting ready to vote on a wealth tax. Of course they are. They're going to drive more people out. It's going to get the first hearing. They have a big. budget problem in the state and they think they can solve it by taxing people more, which never works. Stick with us.

Unleash the power of knowledge at your fingertips by following Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. I have a couple things I can share with what the president is doing today. As he always does, he's working around the clock, focusing on the issues that matter to the American people. everyday Americans, obviously. Yes, because, you know, we put a clock in the middle of the room and he works around it. It's the only way that statement's believable.
Starting point is 01:27:48 No one believes it. He's been on vacation more than anybody else ever. He's taken more vacation days than literally anybody else. Record. Record number. Isn't it over half of his presidency? Something to that about it? I think it's 40% officially.
Starting point is 01:28:02 It was just under 40% for a while. I think it's now 40%. Oh, my gosh. it's I mean yeah that's pretty wild welcome back to the program Dana Lash here with you
Starting point is 01:28:15 oh man this I got a million things to hit including I wanted to come back up because we I know we have all the latest with Iowa and everything else to make sure that we touch on you guys know what's happening
Starting point is 01:28:31 we talked a lot about it yesterday but the other thing is speaking of Biden. So I saw this. So he's apparently they've his, I think it's his reelection campaign, so it's not the
Starting point is 01:28:46 White House doing it, but still. They've begun, they've begun organizing a bunch of these off, kind of off the record trips for political reporters and editors to their campaign's headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware.
Starting point is 01:29:01 And they've been introducing these reporters to people in the campaign, whether it, it's the campaign manager, the deputies in the campaign, senior advisors, giving them these, you know, this info on the background, on the Biden strategy, the campaign strategy and everything else. But one of the things, and I've seen this reported elsewhere, now this is the second place I've seen this reported with different, with their own sourcing, is that they also tell the reporters what they're doing wrong. Semaphore had this, that two people with knowledge of the
Starting point is 01:29:36 situation told them that during meetings with reporters from outlets like the New York Times and the Post and others, campaign officials literally brought out a coverage spreadsheet laying out areas where the team believes that these people's reporting and the publications reporting has fallen short. They said that they want them to focus on more incendiary remarks from Trump. They want the campaign to focus on, you know, going at like attacking Florida more. They want the campaign. They said, no one talks about apparently Biden's victories, which does he have any? Oh, Big Farmer, you know, don't forget. So he's meeting in the coming days, the campaign, I should say, the Biden campaign and staff. They're apparently scheduled to meet in the coming days with reporting teams from
Starting point is 01:30:30 ABC, NBC, Wals Street Journal, Fox, NPR, Reuters, Bloomberg, and others, and they all go to Wilmington. So they're bringing them up there to read them the riot act. Interesting. Now, speaking of the Bidens, Hunter Biden's stunt, his art dealer, do you remember how we were told that they were going to have like this firewall up and that no one is going to know who's buying Hunter's stuff, right? Hunter Biden's Manhattan art dealer said Tuesday, though, that he never worked with the White House on an ethics pact to ensure buyers would remain anonymous. That's what the White House said, though. The White House said that they had an ethics agreement with the dealer so that no one could
Starting point is 01:31:10 accuse them of pay for play. He said that, yeah, Hunter, that Hunter Biden knew who the top purchasers were. The art dealer came out and said that. Now, this was interesting because going back to, when was the story? Let me go back. This was back in February of last year. Hunter Biden's art dealer refused to give names of buyers to the House committee investigating all of this.
Starting point is 01:31:41 And that was what James Comer had said. They said that they had refused art dealer George Burgess refused to comply with the committee's demands to see records of clients who purchased Hunter's work. And they were assured by the White House and everybody else, that there was this ethics agreement in place that prevented Hunter and the Biden family from knowing who is buying Hunter's art. Now he's saying something literally entirely different in New York Post. This is just this morning. They wrote this. They said that Hunter Biden's Manhattan art dealer said he never worked with the White House on the ethics pact to ensure that buyers would remain anonymous and that Hunter Biden knew all the top purchasers. Of course he did.
Starting point is 01:32:23 And Burgess also said that in addition to the lack of supposed. anti-corruption safeguards that he met and spoke on the phone with the president while representing Hunter Biden. Now, this is the transcript. Remember how Hunter Biden won't sit for transcription? This is customary. This is the transcription of his, of, he, of, he was subpoenaed in front of the House oversight committee. And this was his deposition. The art dealer said that Hunter Biden knew who bought 70% of his art. 70%. And he also said that he personally interacted with Joe Biden
Starting point is 01:33:04 on multiple occasions. Huh. Now remember, all of this is part of the impeachment inquiry that looks into whether or not the older Joe Biden was involved with his son's work. Wow. So Berges said that, yeah, Hunter was aware of all this In fact, one of the top, he said Hollywood lawyer Kevin Morris, bankrolled hunters, living expenses, tax payments.
Starting point is 01:33:41 That was his top patron. He bought a million dollars worth of art in a January 2020, 23 deal. I mean, his stuff is not good. It's so stupid. This is just crazy. Of course, he paints spit flowers, the easiest. I'm going to paint flowers. It's never been done before.
Starting point is 01:33:59 How do these people, by the way, get these contacts? So this Hollywood lawyer guy, like I'm just trying to figure out how in the world, that he got $5 million from Kevin Morris, $5 million from this Hollywood lawyer over three years. And that's according to the IRS agent that investigated him. They called him his sugar brother. He only met him in 2019 and he got $5 million from him over three years. Morris paid off a $2 million tax bill for Hunter and purchased a bunch of his work,
Starting point is 01:34:32 which goes to show you right there. that's all a money laundering thing. He's purchasing art. You don't think he was just like, wow, I'm so moved by the spit art. I'm going to buy it. It was just another way for him to give him more money. So technically he gave him $6 million.
Starting point is 01:34:45 They just, he just decided to quote unquote produce, you know, to paint. So he could claim that it was for service. He was there with him today, too. I don't know if you saw him. Kevin Morris was there with Hunter Biden today. At the, when he was leaving,
Starting point is 01:35:03 you could see him. He's got the longer hair. He kind of looks like, oh, I don't know how to say. He's like this, he looks like he's on drugs. But he was there with him at the hearing today. Insane. His sugar brother. Six million dollars he gave him.
Starting point is 01:35:26 Hmm. He's the guy who's in the plaid jacket. He's older and he's got a, he looks like he's had a rough life and his hair is all come back. He's also the guy he was a smoking out of a bong on his balcony, literally the day before. He's going to be in court, right? Oh, my gosh, I can't. And Hunter Biden, he was mad.
Starting point is 01:35:49 He sat there and he was ticked the whole time. So this was all, I think the fact that this guy that he bought art, I think it just goes to show you that this was all just a giant money laundering scheme. He gave him $6 million, basically. So how do you meet somebody in 2019 and you convince them to give you $6 million in three years? Do you not have, does he not have any, well, I mean, clearly doesn't have any self-respect. How do you approach somebody to do that? How do you, how do these people do that? How do they get people to bankroll them?
Starting point is 01:36:24 It's like the John Edwards thing. John Edwards had bunny melon bankroll and everything for him. Like no self-awareness, no nothing. It's just so weird. By the way, all Hunter's stuff looks the same. It is so stupid. none of that's good work a million dollars a million dollars but so everything that this art dealer is saying
Starting point is 01:36:46 is antithetical to everything that the biden's and their attorneys told the house committee and apparently he sold a lot more in art than what they told the house committee they were previously saying oh no they only sold a couple you know they only they sold the five prints you know just for you know some uh a couple thousand dollars oh my gosh it was a lot more than that So now you understand why they want him to go and speak to the house, give a deposition, have it transcribed, because you want it to be clear, you want it to be orderly, and you want it to be, you know, actually not run like a circus.
Starting point is 01:37:30 They need to have an understanding of this stuff. This is how they always do it because this otherwise, it's not going to be a hearing. It's going to be like that nonsense that you heard earlier today. And it'll be further, you know, compromised by people looking to do viral video moments for themselves. There's a reason why they do that. Now, one of the other big stories, I don't know how New York City is going to stay blue. People are still going to vote for this. Have you seen the footage of the illegal immigrants that are sleeping on the floor? They took over a Brooklyn school. They kicked the kids out of the classes.
Starting point is 01:38:10 so and moved in 2,000 people who crossed into the country illegally. It's James Madison High School in Brooklyn. And they're home today. And it's because they shut their school down to shelter the illegal immigrants that came into the city. Is that not unbelievable? And the parents are livid because they just got their kids back in school. I mean, so they said, oh, the kids are doing remote learning. Well, we've learned that doesn't work.
Starting point is 01:38:42 We've also learned that this is, and this does irrevocable harm to kids. And so now they sent them home. One of the moms said, my child texted me at 1 o'clock yesterday saying that tomorrow's school is out. And they're going to have to have remote learning because they have illegal immigrants sleeping in the auditorium at the gym and at the gym. And now the parent, I mean, honestly, some of the people, the people who were voting for this, who voted for this now we're mad about it. She said, you know, we're not against migrants, but this is illegal. You know, crossing the border and everything that's affecting all of us, it's affecting our kids.
Starting point is 01:39:22 Wow. How do you think that the kids in the border towns have felt for like the past 20 years? How do you think the families in border towns have felt to watch their resources be absorbed by people crossing the country illegally because Democrats and Republicans in D.C. won't do anything about it. So, yeah, they've shut that school down. taxpayers fund the school. They shut the school down for the illegal immigrants.
Starting point is 01:39:52 Sanctuary city. You know, that's what you get. They were real proud about it being a sanctuary city. Eric Adams was there. They started moving some of the illegal immigrants back to the shelter that they had them at because the parents were apoplectic. Eric Adams was there that was there yesterday looking at it. They got a picture of them in the gym. I mean, that's what. you all wanted. You all wanted that. You lived large on the virtue signaling of being a sanctuary
Starting point is 01:40:21 city. And then when you got to deal with it, you shut down your kids' schools. I was just wild. Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts, because knowledge is your ultimate superpower. You're a parent in Brooklyn. You probably got a lot of single moms who are putting, who are the breadwinner, so they've got to work during the day. Your kids are supposed to go to school. And then someone tells you, sorry, your kids have to stay home. Why? Was there some type of real significant storm or some emergency? Was there a flu outbreak?
Starting point is 01:40:54 Well, why are they having to stay home? They're having to stay home because the state government is commandeering or the city government is commandeering the school to house illegal aliens. You talk about putting Americans last. You're having these kids. You're depriving these kids of in-person education to be able to house people that don't have a right to be here to begin with, that's Joe Biden's America in a nutshell. Yeah, I mean, that's true. That was DeSanta speaking about that. He gave the state of the state speech in Florida.
Starting point is 01:41:27 What was it just yesterday? I think it was just yesterday. Welcome back to the program, Dana last year with you. Yeah, I, I mean, we saw and we've gone over before all of the studies that showed how detrimental remote learning and all that was to kids over lockdown and how it didn't just really damage them academically, but it hurt them emotionally, mentally. And that school's doing it again so they can...
Starting point is 01:41:56 I mean, that is just... That's unbelievable. What are people they're paying their taxes for? But at the same time, there's a reason why that area votes overwhelmingly Democrat. They like that stuff. But how are you honestly
Starting point is 01:42:12 a Democrat when you vote for things that you expect other people to subsidize or other people to live with. You're not voting to live those policies. You're voting just to see that you can brag about yourself. It's a brand for people. It is a brand. They want to advertise that they care about people who are struggling or they care about the less fortunate. But when it comes down to it, they don't really. I mean, the fact that you would have to vote to make the government force you to be kind or charitable is wild. But that's way much more than this. This is people voting to be charitable with other people's resources. So I kind of like want to ask them, why did they vote for it if they didn't like this kind of
Starting point is 01:43:05 stuff. Why was there no outrage when the governor and the mayor and the mayor before that mayor and the mayor before that mayor was advertising the city as a sanctuary city? And then trying to say, well, we said we're a sanctuary city. So I guess you hate immigrants because you won't claim that. Sanctuary is a sanctuary from the law. It's a sanctuary from reason, which I don't think is a sanctuary. It's a hell. This is wild. All right, today in stupidity. Kane, what do we got? Oh, boy.
Starting point is 01:43:40 Well, yeah, Chris Matthews. This is what... Oh, my gosh. Is he back? I forgot he was alive. Yeah. Anyway, let's just play what he said. One is cut nine if you want to play cut nine for us there.
Starting point is 01:43:50 Because, you know, this election is going to be close. It's going to be very close to a place like Pennsylvania. And you're going to have rural people out there voting their craziness about the cult. So you better be there to match them. And you've got to be there to vote against that. And I'm telling you, this is really important. that you vote for your rights. You got to match the rural vote.
Starting point is 01:44:08 The crazy rural vote. Going after rural people and big farmer all in one day. I don't even know what I think. You noted, Kane's like, we're only 10 days into this new year. I know. We've already had like cartel taken over Ecuador, big farmer, the hunter.
Starting point is 01:44:22 I mean, all of this stuff. Folks, make sure you sign up for the newsletter over at Substack chapter and verse. Have a great night. I will be back with you tomorrow.
