Hamas Takes Over NYC, Katie Porter's UNHINGED Interview & Dinesh D'Souza Joins Us

Liberty Nation with Mark Angelides. Passing the Mamdani numbers, what does AOC's future have in store? Can Chuck Schumer hold on? All this and a great deal more analysis on Liberty Nation Radio this week. Author, columnist, managing editor of LibertyNation.com, podcast host, and conservative policy advocate.

Liberty Nation with Mark Angelides. We're not asking Chuck Schumer and the Democrats to do anything different than what they've always done. We've shown you the highlight reel. Chuck Schumer gave impassioned speeches as recently as seven months ago in March of this year. He said, we have to keep the government open.

It would be dangerous and harmful to the American people. He said after the vote, he went on CNN and said, I'm proud of that vote. I didn't like it, but we had to do that. He was right then. He is not right now.

We're not asking the Democrats to do anything heroic. We're asking them to do their basic duty and responsibility, as Chairwoman McClain said. Keep the government open. The first responsibility. I'm sorry.

I'm aggravated. The first responsibility of the government is to protect the people, and the people who are supposed to be protected. are being completely Cheated. by Democrats in the Senate because they want to play politics. They hate Donald Trump.

I mean, they have Trump derangement syndrome, but it's very real. Listen to their own comments. And they have to show a fight at any cost. Yeah. When does that cost become too high?

In our view, it already has. They have another chance today to reopen the government, and we'll see if they do the right thing. I pray that they do. Because real people are being affected by the games here, and they're sick of it. Thanks so much.

Well, he's not wrong. That's Mike Johnson, Speaker Johnson, who is getting ready to get really mad. Over The Continued back and forth with the shutdown. They have no idea what's happening. And I was talking to a member of Congress.

last e yesterday evening. And I had said, so what You know what happens if they do decide, because they can't do anything. They can't even go, like, they have to, one of them was a voting member of NATO. And they were saying that they can't even... go and vote on things within the governing Or the I guess cooperative body of NATO.

Which I thought was kinda, I thought was super interesting. I mean, when they, I mean, it is shut down. Of course, everybody's getting paid still, isn't that lovely?

So technically, I just think that if you're still getting paid, you're not shut down. You know what I mean? But This is, how many votes have they had? Five or six now? Do we I don't even think we can even I I don't think we even remember Has it been six?

Okay, so it's been six votes. I put the government shutdown clock in Slack for you so you could see it.

So, I know a lot of people are like, I just don't know how that affects me.

Well, it will affect you if Republicans aren't able to successfully. hold their ground and they're not able to negotiate and they're not able to Keep. The for the lack of a better way to put it.

Well, I mean it's not like they're cutting spending at this point. Because remember, this is all just about maintaining the current levels of spending that they have, which is so frustrating about all of this. Welcome back to the program or welcome to the program, Dana Lash. with you and This um a lot of stuff. to kind of comb through.

Because we've got I got like a ho a hand just like a a barrel full of like odds and ends stuff. Because we have all of the things current with the government shutdown, then we have some we have some culture stuff. Then we have the Democrat Party in uh California, which is absolutely falling apart. And you have a lot of these like very far left individuals People like the Katie Porters out there who are, it's crazy. Because they are so blatantly Mark just openly, completely, they call it Democrat, but they're very I Zealous in promoting their Marxist policies, but yet when you question them on them, they lose it.

They absolutely lose it. We're going to talk about some of that because they're having They're having a problem there. And it's always these like governors too. It's whether it's You know, it's you have the weird Pritzker, and then you have some of these other governors, and then you have like Mandani, who's the mayor running for mayor. They're just notice that the new crop.

There's so far left. Stop and think when is the last time you saw A more moderate Democrat running for office. When's a new one, a new candidate? Think of a new candidate, not some of these old ones that are switching offices. When is the last time?

You saw a more moderate, a new moderate Democrat run. You haven't. I mean, that's just the thing. You haven't. because they don't exist.

And that's a terrifying prospect when you when you think about it, it's incredibly it's just incredibly disconcerting. And it is because That kind of gives you insight into what the party is now. Not, it's our, it's not what it's becoming, it's already become this. What the party is. Look at all of these new candidates and a handful of these races, whether you're looking up in Minnesota, Minneapolis, whether you're looking at In New York, California, all of the new ones that are coming up.

are so terrifyingly left, it's insane. openly anti-Christian. openly super Marxist. That's that's who they have coming up. That's who that's all of them.

That's who they all are. It's uh very troubling. We're going to talk about some of that here as well coming up. Also, Let's roll down scroll down to this. We're going to get into the Zach Bryan stuff, that's for sure.

Yesterday, October 7th, a two-year. observance. Of Hamas's terror attack on Israel. And in New York City, downtown on Avenue of the Americas. You had an angry crowd of Islamists.

that assembled? waving Hamas flags. Screaming later on, they broke into chants from the river to the sea and globalized the infantada. Or the Intifada. They were screaming globalize the Antifada.

Chanting it. And I want you to listen to this because This was yesterday, downtown Manhattan. And I'll cut too. Listen to what they say. We have not hacked it up.

We did not act enough. Repeat after me. We did not act enough. If we acted enough, the headline behind me would read, Gaza has been liberated.

So our work is not done. We must show up longer than we did the first October 7th. Louder than we did the first October 7th. We make it clear that we are not going anywhere. We will keep fighting until Palestine is free.

So, for those people who are trying to say, well, maybe it wasn't just about October 7th day.

Well, he just told you right there, they didn't do enough on October 7th. That's what he said just now. That's what he said. In that protest yesterday. That's what they were yelling.

They didn't do enough on October 7th. Downtown Manhattan. We did not act enough. We weren't loud enough. And then later on, they broke out into globalized the Intifada, and then from the river to the sea.

That's a call for genocide. That is an absolute call for genocide in Manhattan. And the thing is, is it's not just Manhattan anymore. I've been seeing this stuff like all over. I mean, there's more of this from this is cut three.

This is more from yesterday. I mean, there were tons of people out for this. Look at this. Robbie. They didn't get potato or not.

They didn't think they did enough? I mean, I just don't have any words for that.

So that was happening in Manhattan. There were other demonstrations where you had pro-Hamas people as well. There's a real problem with Islamism. And I've noticed a couple of things.

So, you had Mandani, who had this horrific statement. And again, he's one of those new Democrats that we were talking about. that endorses all this stuff. His statement that he put out yesterday, it's too long to read, but it's heinous. It's so, I mean, he said he calls it an occupation, and he's justifying what happened on October 7th.

He's justifying it by claiming that, well, it was because of the illegal occupation. And he just said it was a war crime. What Hamas did two years ago was a war crime. And then he went after Israel and went after Netanyahu and said that the response from Israel is way worse than October 7th, and thus they are worse than Hamas. because of what because their response was greater.

than Hamas's original provocation. That sounds like what a loser says after they're getting their backsides whooped. And then he talks about, oh Gaza, it's going through so much, blah, blah, blah. And then he said it must end. And he accused him of apartheid.

He'd accused them of occupation. He doesn't even know what the word apartheid means. This rich Nepo baby, who's an absolute embarrassment. New Yorkers deserve what they get if they get this guy.

So that was his. He didn't he had three paragraphs where he just like blistered. The response blistered people who were victims. And then he used Hamas's own propaganda. He he cited.

He said, Oh, now the death toll in Gaza far exceeds 67,000. Do you know where that number comes from? It comes from Hamas. Every bit of government in Gaza is run by Hamas because Hamas isn't just a terror group, it is the democratically elected government of Gaza. Gazans overwhelmingly support Hamas.

Very few Gazans do not support Hamas. This is inarguable, indisputable fact that has been confirmed by every single news outlet on this damn planet. Everyone. That's why the elections in 2021 were suspended because they were going to take over and replace all the other factions under the authority in West Bank.

So he cites figures literally from Hamas. The whole 67,000.

Well, it's the Hamas Ministry of Information, or it's the Gagazan Ministry of Information. That's Hamas. The Gazan Health Ministry, that's Hamas. All of it is Hamas. and not at any point In this.

Did he at all say that the hostages should have been released? He just says, oh, well, you know, it was horrible, and I hope everybody's safe, blah, blah, blah. It's so sad, you know. And then he goes and tries to justify it. He doesn't say, he doesn't get into well that was Hamas.

That Ended up. starting this, breaching this breaking the ceasefire and going into it. This is what's happening in this country right now, all over. And there's a plan underway. Here's my thinking on this, because I've.

was was down in a rabbit hole yesterday looking at some of this. Uh I was reading this editorial from uh this individual in uh Michigan. in Dearborn, Michigan. And this guy is a Michigan preacher, Ted Barham. And he stepped up to the microphone earlier this month, and this was at the Dearborn City Council, and he wanted to oppose a street that was being named after an activist that was very vocal in their support of Hamas and Hezbollah.

And the mayor Abdullah Hamoud. Who was livid? Called him a racist, an Islamophobe, and all of that stuff. And the city council, which is predominantly Islamic, reacted horrifically to him. I mean, they were just vicious.

And people, there's a video of people being blocked from distributing Christian materials in Dearborn. Um things l of that nature. There is something seriously happening in this country, and I definitely think that there are foreign agents that are involved in this. I think that there is a major divide. and I think that it involves Iran, and I think it involves China, and it's all about ratcheting up anti-Semitism while allowing Islamism to seep through.

China is using America's geopolitical foes as a way to weaken it and divide it as it sits and waits. And nobody's really talking about China. Notice how they're all talking about Israel. Or maybe they'll talk about some of the Abraham Accord stuff, but nobody's really talking about China. There's a reason why.

We're going to get into all of that more as we roll towards headlines. Our partners that help bring you the program. The folks at All Family Pharmacy. Love the folks at All Family Pharmacy. I actually had to use them again.

Alright, I saw this headline last night. You guys know Long John Silvers, right? Yeah. Is it Longjohn's silver, not silver's? I used to say Long John Slivers.

Okay, Long John Silver.

So the 56-year-old chain, they have 485 restaurants. They've unveiled a new logo that removes any reference to its seafood, the pirate lore, and all of the nautical names.

Now they're trying to like use a chicken. It's Long John Silver's chicken and seafood.

So they took the fish off, and now they have a chicken on. Yeah, they I've Wow, I don't know why they did that. I mean, the logo is not all that different, but I don't know why they decided to like drop the pirate stuff. Yeah, they've always served chicken, from what I understand. They said, well, it's because our guests tell us that their chicken is our best kept, our chicken's the best kept secret.

I'm like, no, it's not. Who's telling you this? People who is Captain Dees telling you this? Did Captain Dees do that to you? I feel like Captain Deese just ran a psyop on Long John Silvers and convinced them.

So we'll see how this goes. I don't. I don't think they're like modernizing in a woke way. But I just think this is a bad move for a brand, you know A DC teacher's aide is on leave after allegedly putting hot sauce in an autistic boy's mouth. How this woman is walking without the mother.

Not beating her up to death is beyond me. The mother, Shanice Griggs. Her son's uh She came home, her son's autistic and nonverbal, he's nine years old. And they discovered apparently he had like, he felt hot, he was overheated. And he had like a reaction to it.

She said that. The It was done. The teacher was defending herself because his behavior was bad and he deserved it. But he's also come home from school before with scratches and bruises. That is not how you deal with this, and that teacher needs to be fired and.

I'm not gonna say anything else. That's just horrible. That's abusive. If you can't, if you, if you're not trained to handle. students.

With difficulties, then don't take the job. America's housing shortage is apparently delaying adulthood. This is stupid. It's not a housing shortage. I cannot stand these stupid, ridiculous phrases.

It's not a housing shortage. It's not because we don't have enough houses. There's tons of houses for sale. The problem is the economy is trash because it was run through by ignorant Republicans and big-spending Democrats. And now they're trying to act like, well, it's because there are not enough houses.

There isn't enough freedom in the market. That's the problem. We have a lot more on the way, including, we'll touch on that letter about TPUSA and Charlie Kirk and all the anti-Semites going wild. Stick with us, our partners who help bring you the program. It's the folks at Ammos2.

Taking the juggernaut that is demolishing the weaponization of law enforcement, bringing it to places like Chicago. When I was there today with Todd, we learned that the Chicago city streets have 110,000 gang members.

That's right. You heard me right. They had 1,200 shootings this year alone, 360 homicides. When politicians choose to side with those metrics and not their citizenry, thank God we have President Trump and this Department of Justice and this FBI going in there and crushing violent crime. And President Trump sent us into these cities quietly to set the stage, to set up for the National Guard, to see the success that we saw in Washington, D.C., in Memphis.

The FBI has been leading the charge in every single one of these streets because we know how to gather ground-level intelligence and we know how to put handcuffs on the bad guys and we know that we have the backing of this administration. And most importantly, the agents at the FBI know that they have the backing of the American people and their government. Yeah, well, that's a good point. That's Cash Patel, FBI director, who's saying that 5% of Chicago's 2.5 million residents, approximately 110,000 people, are active gang members. Gang members.

Now, this goes into what we've heard previously from former police chiefs, former police superintendents, etc., who have said for the past decade that you have such a small percentage of the same repeat offenders that drive over 86% of the city's crime. That's insane. That it's that same, and it's they arrest the same people. over and over again. A big problem of this is the restorative justice.

And that's this legal theory that if you coddle criminals, you can change their ways. with niceness. Has that worked out, Kane? I think that's worked out. Yeah.

That would not work out for anybody else, but for repeat offenders, that's what they keep applying, and they keep thinking that it works. And it's been over 10 years since this has been implemented. It's that's not working. In fact, all of these cities where you have These, well, I think all major cities have far-left prosecutors that. And judges that practice this restorative justice, which contributes to recidivism, et cetera, et cetera.

It's rough. And this is what they're dealing with.

Now, again, just to market. This argument that Trump is sending in people to Go after like restaurants and just run around and terrorize people is dishonest. And anyone who submits that as a legitimate point in this conversation should be immediately disregarded. their character and their they have no goodwill and their character is compromised. It's all about Using under the federal under his federal authority.

Protecting federal businesses, our federal structures, federal employees, the courthouses, stop attacking ICE agents, stop attacking ICE facilities, particularly when local law enforcement either doesn't want to or is barred, i.e., Chicago, from actually enforcing the law themselves. It is actually a legal requirement that POTUS acts. We talked about that yesterday.

Now A couple of other things here. Uh speaking to that, Jeff Bridges. I like the big Lebowski. But this isn't this isn't helping anything. Cut seven, please.

And uh Ha ha ha ha ha. Yeah, ice. Let's get ice off our streets and into our beverages. This chamber is a good one. Yeah, all right.

Right? Oh my god. Right.

So let's just abide, huh? Abide together. Or, you know, maybe, I don't know, follow the law. Do you remember how he got real mad in the Big Lebowski when the uh nihilist came in and they stole his rug? And he got real upset over that.

Oh, so wait a minute.

So you're telling me now that you you support that? You can't get upset over people illegally entering your premises and thieving your belongings and then No, no, no. Laws matter, don't they? Let's be consistent. I don't Democrats are trying to really drive that point.

And that gets into the whole Zach Bryan stuff and all of that. That guy is just a singient turd. He's really trying to backpedal with a lot of this stuff.

So if you. were unaware. He decided to make a video Well, he wrote a song rather. He wrote a song and he was slamming. Immigration and custom enforcement in his song.

It's a very anti-ICE song. Zach I don't know I can't tell you a s what does Zach Bryan sing? I don't like pop country because it's soulless.

So I don't listen to it. I like good music and I'll listen to any type of music, but um it has to be good.

So Kane, do you know what songs Zach Bryan sings? I don't. Hank wouldn't have done it that way. I'm just saying. No, and you're right about that.

Albo Seifas, he wouldn't have done it that way. He's also trying to backpedal a little bit from the original stuff. Steve, do you know anything that Zach Bryan has sung? Yeah, he's more folky than country, I guess. He's sort of like a singer, guitar, songwriter thing.

Oh my gosh. So he's like a Joni Mitchell, but with balls. Oh, gross. Or that's questionable. Ew.

I just I don't like his face. Anyway.

So he came out with he pulled a Dixie chicks. Wait, they're not even called that anymore, are they? Are they called Dixie chicks? Oh, that's right. They're just called oh, I can't say it.

The chicks, I think, right? Yeah. Zach Bryan, he uh decides to Dixie Chickbud Light his career. with his this song that he has.

Now, yes, he did do the song Try That in a Small Town.

Okay, so I just read that. I I don't know. Uh That's whatever.

So Oh wait, that was Jason Aldean who did that, right? I don't even know. I don't even know pop country. But the thing is, is that this guy decided he didn't just write a song where he was being critical of ice or something. He wrote this whole thing where he's like, the red, white, and blue is fading, and ice is going to come and bust down your door and all this stuff.

And the lyrics, I mean, let me just. Here's the lyrics from this Shakespearean lyricist King. Quote I heard the cops came. Cocky mother blankers, ain't they? Ice gonna bust down your door.

Try to build a house, no one builds no more. But I got a telephone croons Zack Bryan. kids are all scared and all alone. Hmm. These are really bad.

I just got shaken baby syndrome from reading that. Uh Yeah. Gives me mental scoliosis, Kane. Just, it's horrible. I did reach out to his camp this morning.

Oh, they're never going to come on this show. I referenced this Yahoo article that came out a couple hours ago. And now he's saying he's wanting to Clarify the misconstrued light. lyrics in that song.

So we wanted to give them an opportunity to do it. Yeah, and they and let me guess, they just jumped at the chance, didn't they? I haven't heard back yet.

So now he's like all upset because he's got a lot of backlash to his song. Who could have seen that coming? I mean, when you troll. And you're surprised that there's a response to the trolling. I don't understand some of these people.

So. The um I'm not gonna play it But I don't know what he's saying, the fading of the red, white, and blue. And someone said he's backpedaling faster than a Russian circus bear. And I feel like that that's a great description.

So he puts something up on his Instagram story. where he said he's you know so tough he's like please blink and read this And it's a song about how much I love this country and everybody in it. And so he it's like I'm not going to read this whole thing. It's just so long. He goes, I wrote this song months ago.

I posted this song three months ago as a snippet. This shows you how divisive a narrative can be when shoved down our throats through social media. This song is about how much can I love this country and everyone in it and everything. And when you hear Kane, the rest of the song, you will understand the full context that hits on both sides of the aisle. Everyone now is using this as a weapon.

Proven how devastatingly divided we are.

Well, well, hold up, hold up, slick. Hold up, Slick. We're literally quoting your words. There is no spinning of it. There's no trying to Link and log up a narrative.

We're just quoting your words, Slick. You had the bulbs to put it in a song, and now you're going to go cower.

Well, that's not what I meant. What did you mean by. calling ice mother blinkers like a How else can that be interpreted? I'm waiting, O great Shakespeare of our time. Please, please reveal to the great unwashed masses the genius behind your lyricism, because clearly we're too stupid to get it.

Please, oh great Zack Bryan, please explain this to us. And then he's like, he goes, well, I served this country. I don't care if that's great that you did. I don't know anything about him. That doesn't give you a pass to be a jackass.

End of. And then he goes, I wasn't speaking as a politician. I don't care. You said what you said, dude. You could sit here and write however many graphs and dance all you want to.

Oh, and then now he's the victim. Here's this graph: quote. The last few months of my life I have been scrutinized by more people than I ever thought possible. Write a song about it. I feel like I've tried my hardest in so many ways, he writes.

Oh my gosh. And then he's like, I've been, oh, this is so cheesy, been falling off a cliff while trying to grow wangs at the same time. Oh, poor Zach Bryan. From southern Georgia? Where's he from?

He's from all over. Yeah. And so Uh So he Nobody believed that. Nobody believes that. Nobody believes that.

I mean Mm-hmm. Yeah, and he's apparently not a nice dude. There's all these people are coming out with stories, but just to stick to this. He wrote this. He wrote this song.

He wrote the lyrics. Then he play he added music to it. Then he recorded it. Then he made a video of him performing it. And then he posted it online.

And he's like, now he goes, oh no, no, that's not what has not what I said. Please do. Cheers. Sweet summer child, what did you mean? Ice gonna bust down your door?

Cocky mother blinkers, the fading of the red, white and blue? Kane, shall we deep dive, grad level style on this? I mean. What else is there to be assumed? Oh my gosh.

He's just a coward. He's a chicken. That's what he is. Thank you. Welcome.

It's a good chicken, by the way. Long John Silvers, what?

So he's He's it's his apology was one of those I'm sorry you're offended. You just wrote it's the problem is is that he wrote this. And I don't care if somebody wants to have ignorant, uneducated views, but have the balls to back them when you get called out on it, right? Like it is it's it it's like him saying no the the The earth the the sun revolves around the earth. And then when people go, wait a minute, dude, that's not even correct.

I didn't say that. Oh my God. I'm the victim! Oh, I'm falling off a cliff and I ain't time to grow wings. I mean, that's.

That's his response right now. Just go, yeah, I said it. What? That's all you gotta do. What's good?

He's such a just a coward, just an absolute coward. And oh, don't forget, didn't he? Let me pull this up. Uh he also went after people for insulting the transgenders, Kane. He was all upset.

He didn't like people insulting them transgenders. And he likes to went, and then the same thing happened. He says something ignorant, and then he tries to walk it back because as soon as the fire gets a little hot. He just oh It can't handle it.

So, I don't care if people have, they wonder, they can, I'm never gonna listen to his music, so it's never gonna personally offend me. Because I just don't. I don't like to, you know, if I'm going to hurt my brain cells, I'm going to do it with liquor. I'm not going to do it with crappy pop country. You know what I'm saying?

So He's I mean he's He's just got a history of being a jackwagon. And I mean I just think he's a coward. And I don't know. I'm just not I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan.

Lorraine said he did a cover of Tracy Chapman's Fast Car and oh my gosh, he got lots of praise because he didn't change the lyrics about that said check out girl when talking about the singer. Oh my gosh. So stupid. That's such the the bar is so low, man. It's so low.

But it is emblematic of all of America's much more consequential Violence.

Okay, it's the same reason as the why America Kaya please just f Go back if you stop. What in He's got a shot collar on his dog. That's Hassan Piker. Jesus Christ. He's a terrorist, so it just.

You're being such a baby. He's an absolute terrorist. I'd like to put that shot collar on him. Look, if you're not man enough to properly train a dog, then you're not man enough to own a dog. I hope somebody needs to take custody of that dog.

He should not be allowed to own it. That's abusive. And why do you have to have your dog sit in your damn studio for hours at a time while you just basically fart into a microphone? This guy is one of the most overrated people I have ever heard in my life. He's incredibly overrated.

And of course, you know, he's a Marxist and he's an Islamist.

So, you know, that just the left loves them. But Abusing his dog with a shot collar, and there's tons of video of him apparently doing this. Is that not heinous? Like that sweet what he's he's mad and shocks the dog because the dog got up And there's tons of videos of this. It's like all over social.

where he apparently I mean, has this dog and his this this collar on his poor dog. And like the dog at one point, we heard the dog yell. Yelp. That's just horrible. Someone said that there's a light on the collar that you can see blink.

when she starts moving. And That could be like the vibration, I guess. That from the collar, and then I mean, that dog is what two years old, two years old. He wants the dog to sit. on that bed for hours while he screams.

into a microphone. for hours. I don't think the dog has water. I don't even think, I don't know if he takes it outside. I have no idea.

That's just I mean, that's horrible. Aren't there s are there spikes on the collar? I mean that's You're torturing an animal. And I think. The only reason he has that dog in the background is because he's trying to seem like a nice guy.

Well, mission failed. Because you don't seem like a nice guy. You seem like a terrorist, Islamist, animal abuser. He's scum, scum of the earth. We got more on the way.

Second hour. You don't want to miss. Stick with us. Our partners that. help bring you the program.

It's the folks over at Chapter.

Now as you know, chapter, well, you know Medicare enroll, it's Medicare enrollment season, that's all you hear this time of year. And I feel so bad. There are so many people that just get slammed with robocalls and texts. I saw something on social where someone got like 17 calls in a row about this stuff, and they were slammed with texts, and they got all these mailers. Here's the thing with Medicare: plans change.

Every year. Thanks, Obamacare.

So, even if you like your current plan, it doesn't mean you get to keep it. You got to check and see what's coming for 2026. And if you don't review your options, you could lose all your coverage.

So, you need to call chapter. They review every plan all across the country to ensure that you're not overpaying. And on average, they're saving people over a thousand dollars annually. And the advisors at Chapter are salary, they don't work on commission, they advocate for you, not the insurance company. And it's not a hassle.

I mean, it's definitely a heck of a lot easier than weeks of being slammed with Medicare robocalls and texts. They can chapter can get you squared away in under 20 minutes. And if your current plan still fits you best, you're all set. And if not, they'll help you switch. No gimmicks, no pressure, just honest advice.

Honest advice from experts who know Medicare inside and out. Dial pound 250 and say the words, my Medicare. Medicare is important. Don't risk it. Work with chapter.

You can trust them. Dial pound250, say the words, my Medicare.

So, and the question is, what do you say to the 40% of voters who voted for Trump? Oh, I'm happy to say that. It's the do you need them to win part that I don't understand. I'm happy to answer the question as you have it written and I'll answer it. And we've also asked the other candidates, do you think you need any of those 40%?

percent of California voters to win and you're saying no you don't. No, I'm saying I'm going to try to win every vote I can. And what I'm saying to you is that Well to those voters.

Okay, so so you I don't want to keep doing this. I'm going to call it Thank you. You're not going to do the interview with us. Nope, not like this. I'm not.

Not with seven follow-ups to every single question you ask. Every other candidate has ASR care. I don't care. I want to have a pleasant, positive conversation with you ask me about every issue on this list. And if every question, you're going to make up a follow-up question, then we're never going to get there.

And we're just going to circle around. I am in a sense. I have never had to do this before, ever. You've never had a conversation with that.

Okay, but every other candidate has done this. I'm me. I'm running for governor because I'm a leader.

So I am going to make- So you're not going to answer questions from reporters?

Okay, why don't we go through? I will continue to ask follow-up questions because that's my job as a journalist, but I will go through and ask these. And if you don't want to answer, you don't want to answer.

So nearly every legislative experience with you. And I don't want this all on camera. I don't want to have an unhappy experience with you either. I would love to continue to ask these questions so that we can show our viewers what every candidate feels about every one of these issues that they care about. And redistricting is a massive issue.

We're going to do an entire story just on it. I just She has the reporter sitting here trying to explain to her why it's important. That She answered, like, this is what I do. This is my job. I thought, though.

that The left loved the press. and they thought the press was sacred. And Is that not true? Like, what can I love? The press is sacred.

I'm like looking at some of the previous remarks that the left has made on my Giant screen here. And they had previously said that, you know, Trump, not, if Trump criticizes a reporter, it's an attack on the press. This is a wild video. Yeah. If she's claiming to be a leader and cannot handle follow-up questions to any positions that she would actually hold as a leader, To me, that doesn't give me any confidence whatsoever.

In A, her leadership, or B, me directing my vote towards her. Yeah. It looks kind of bad. It looks bad.

Now, she's, if you know, she's running for. Governor in California. This Katy Porter lady. And that's who. That's who's in this video, is Katie Porter.

talking to this reporter who Is just trying to get her to answer a question. And Katie Porter has no interest in answering this question. She has no interest in talking about it. And I think it was a pretty legitimate question. It wasn't.

like a got you. You know, it wasn't like a gotcha kind of thing. It was a very. Um legitimate question I thought that she asked but Apparently Katie Porter doesn't think so. She tried storming out of this CBS interview.

And the She said, I don't want all of this on camera.

Well, you should have probably thought that before. Did you know? No, hold up, I'm going to pull this story up. I don't know if you guys heard this story before.

So this is a New York Post piece. 'Cause it kinda shows that she sorta has a hot temper. She apparently Was very abusive towards her husband, her ex-husband. She would throw things at him all the time. She poured scalding hot mashed potatoes on his head during a fight.

Uh she Was routinely, he wrote, and this was: he filed for divorce from her. This was in 2013. He got a requ he uh requested a restraining order. She apparently was so nuts he requested a restraining order. and she wouldn't allow him to have a cell phone.

She would claw her arm. She does seem nuts. I got to be honest with you. She seems like she is just crazy. Right?

You know you know the type. She seems nuts. She apparently was taking issues with how He was making mashed potatoes for dinner at one point. And she screamed at him, Can't you read the blanking instructions? And then she raised a quote ceramic bowl of.

hot potatoes and dumped it on my head, burning my scalp. Uh they went to court. I mean he If you have a restraining order on you, you're like a temporary prohibited possessor.

So that's very interesting. She, though, in her first. Congressional campaign, she portrayed herself as a victim of domestic violence. I think she's talking about her husband, not her, maybe. Wow.

She says she seems like You know. I just Only in California can you abuse your husband and pour hot food on his head, scalding his scalp, and still be like in the running to be governor.

Well, maybe in New York too. She seems to have anger issues. She acted like a psycho. She she told the interviewer she didn't need Trump voters. And then, when the reporter asked her, okay, well, what do you mean you don't need?

She then started contradicting herself. I was reading the transcript just in case. You know, I thought I heard something incorrect. And a reporter was saying, what do you say? to the 40% of voters who supported Trump.

And She was like, Oh, well I don't need them to win. And then she's asked, Well, you said that you don't need them to win. And she was like, No, I'm saying that I'm going to try to win every vote. That's what I'm saying to you. And the reporter's like, what I've, you know, what this reminds me of?

It reminds me of Cain, that interview where that girl was interviewing. That musician, Suki. And she was like, What do you mean? I'm a musician. Like, she thought she was saying a magician.

Oh my gosh. Girl, I don't think that's a ghetto. I don't think that's a good idea. Can you do magic or something? Oh my gosh, I can't even.

So she just seemed completely um She seemed to completely cane. Um, how do you say, nuts? Yeah. That's how you say it. That's how you say it.

She's in the running. She's like in the lead to be the next governor. She's the the leading Democrat to replace Gavin Newsom as governor of California. Ugh. They don't have anybody else out there, all the nuts and that's the one they pick?

Yeah, lateral move there. I mean, is it later?

Well, yeah, I mean, they're all bad. I don't want to sit here and try to like weigh it down. She's just She's bad. Lorraine notes that she fired. A staffer.

Who she said gave her COVID. As cut 11? Oh, is it as bad as cut 11? Probably not. Let's go ahead.

Where's the yeah, play cut 11?

So this is. A flashback. Video of Katie Porter. Same woman. Listen.

You know, this allegation of groomer and pedophile, it is alleging that a person is criminal somehow and engaged in criminal acts merely because of their identity, their sexual orientation, their gender identity.

So pedophilia is just an identity?

So wanting to prey upon m children? as a sex pervert, an adult sex pervert, that's just an identity. I thought that was a criminal action. Wow. Wow.

So she hates kids. Clearly. Wow, that's who's the lead. Democrat. for governor in California.

What are you doing, California? What are you doing in New York? Oh my gosh, this is crazy. And she apparently, like all of the staffers that worked for her. Hate her.

Yeah, one of them she went off on a staffer because this she says the staffer gave her COVID. and uh she had them fired. And uh She was just apparently hor horrible to everyone. And then if you criticize her, you're a sexist or a bigot somehow. I don't even understand how that works because she's in like a heavy sat white woman, so I don't get that.

But um Yeah, that's that's Mm, how do we say nuts? That's not. Kane, that's not.

So Yeah. Um, hm. Really wild. That's the lead Democrat. in California.

Good.

So, yeah, great for them. She just has a short temper. Her and Jay Jones would be a pair, would it not?

So you have her. Defending pedophilia and attacking her ex-husband, and Jay Jones threatening to shoot everyone and kill their kids. What a pair. But this is, do you see what I'm saying? This is where the left is going.

This is w how they are now. I it's Wild, but this is how they are. Since this is What uh just it's their new identity, for the lack of a better way to put it. This party. All right, so a couple of things.

to uh to hit As we roll into, because you're already midway through the week, everybody. It's awesome. I wanted to share this story. Greta Toonbug. She Shared.

a post highlighting the suffering of the Palestinian prisoners and it was illustrated with the photo of an emaciated person. She thought she was sharing a photo of. Agazen? And what she did was share a photo of an Israeli hostage. That's an Israeli hostage.

And Shit, wow. It was taken by Hamas. From It's a hostage that was that was connected from the Nova Festival. And this is a photo that Hamas had had apparently allowed to be released. He's in a tunnel in Hamas.

And he's writing a note. This piece of paper stuck to a wall. He looks, you know, obviously emaciated because they're starving him. And she shared that. as a way to criticize Israel.

She's never called for dismantling Hamas or anything like that because she's an idiotic stooge. She's just used by different people, and her parents prostitute her out there. and allow her to be used for this cause and that. And they're so excited about The I the the Like fame by association, right? They're very excited that this is.

They're gonna they're gonna be known because their daughter's known. And Greta Thunberg is just she's just fed by all of the attention. She was the one who claimed that they were kidnapping me. They gave her food and a free flight home again, not even the same. But She's never said, you know, to bring every hostage home.

She's never said any of that.

Now that's a pretty bad blunder. She got removed from the first boat in the flotilla. If you guys remember the first time that they tried this, she was kicked off that boat. They said you can't be in a position of leadership because you're nuts.

So they removed her off of that. And I guess she ended up being on this other this other they put her on another vessel in their flotilla. And then this second one, she was apparently not even on the lead vessel.

So, I don't even. Why does she even go out there anymore? I thought she was for climate change. And now, what's after this? What is she going to do after this?

Is she just going to be like a scenester her whole life? Is that what it is? I'm curious. She'd just be a scene stir her whole life? I don't know.

So The uh embarrassing blunder. her. What? You don't want to be unprotected online because there are so many shady people and so many scammers online. There's so many different ways to fleece you blind.

I don't believe this story.

So it's a story that says America has become one of the world's least welcoming countries for tourists. And it's the independent, or sorry, it's the Telegraph, which is a left-leaning sewer. Yeah, and they said it's Donald Trump's anti-tourism measures.

Well, what do you mean anti-tourism measures? Because illegal immigration isn't the same thing as tourism. Do we really have to have a discussion over this? Oh my gosh. Oh, let's see here.

Apparently. Your brains have evolved to socialize, but they max out at 150 friends. Mine max out over anything that I can count on. Like, I have everybody has like circles, layers of circles, right? You have like one, your main circle, and then outside, and then outside, and outside.

And I think that's fine and important to have.

So, but they said that the size of your social networks is limited, even in the age of social media, and that brains absolutely max out at 150. That makes sense, right? I think that makes sense. Uh let's see here. Oh, Tropical Storm Jerry.

Conform. And it could hit the Leeward Islands late this week. J why Jerry? Like what a name, Jerry. Jerry.

That's just, I don't know why I find that so funny.

So be careful. A man was arrested for trying to pull over cars with flashing blue lights. Uh it's uh Pierce County deputies. Pulled this, they got this guy, this is in Washington. They arrested a man for impersonation of a police officer.

He was driving around using the blue lights. And the deputy saw him, like they got in trouble once, and he was warned he could be arrested for impersonation. And then hours later, the same deputy saw this guy. you know, the same driver using the blue lights. And he was immediately arrested.

So he got warned. He got warned. You know, you can't say he wasn't warned. Oh, let's see. The rainbow crosswalk in Miami was torn off by the Florida Department of Transportation.

Is this the crosswalk where They got, they tried to go after the kids riding the scooters. Because they said that the kids had. No, I think this is a different crosswalk. This one was actually built with bricks, colored bricks.

Okay, okay. They're tearing that up.

So they uh The Florida Department. Dot, they decided that they were demolishing and repainting a rainbow crosswalk. They were gonna stop, the state said they're stopping, they're gonna stop making crosswalks in the political statements. It's supposed to be about pedestrian safety. And state Senator Carlos Smith bravely fought back.

He tried to grab some sidewalk chalk and fill the colors back in. Uh Yeah, I mean it legit is about supposed to be about safety now remember that you you you can burn an american flag but they arrest with spokane washington The uh, they had electric scooters and they left skid marks on a pride mural, and they were arrested in Spokane, Washington. You could burn a flag. But you can't drive a scooter. over a pride mural.

It's just asinine, absolutely. Asinine, so I'm, and it's actually a very, it was very ugly. I saw the bricks, it was a very ugly crosswalk. And if it doesn't look like a crosswalk, then wouldn't that be confusing for people who don't know if they can cross there or not? I mean, this seems like a fair question to ask.

Did. We found this information to expose the politicization by Jack Smith and the prior Department of Justice. I mean, just think about it. Eight sitting United States senators, phone records were gathered and subpoenaed through the grand jury process, and it was buried and wormholed with the hope that no one would find it.

So we're just scratching the surface here, but accountability is coming. You're darn right I fired those agents. You're darn right I blew up CR-15, the public corruption squad that led the weaponization at the W. Washington Field Office. We're just warming up, but we.

Hmm. I mean They were surveilling. These Republican lawmakers. And This is exactly I mean, they're private communications. And thankfully, I just want to point out that we wouldn't know any of this.

had it not been for the whistleblowers.

So there are some good ones out there. I just want to be clear with that. Because the only reason that we know about this Is because of the whistleblowers.

Now think about that for a moment. That's crazy, right? That if they had not like come out and said and said anything, we would probably still be in the dark. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you.

We are at the bottom of the second hour. The chats at Rumble can watch us do the radio show channel 347 DirecTV.

So That that's a big problem. This this whole insane this bombshell that this former council, Jack Smith, they spied on nearly a dozen that we know of. Lawmakers. All about J6 into the J6, whatever, that whole thing that they're trying to concoct. This is a weaponization of the FBI.

That is just continuing with what we have seen, what we saw with under Obama and Biden, right? Is it do you think Chuck Rasley said it's worse than Watergate? Cain, do you think it's worse than Watergate? I think it's worse than Watergate because of the The obvious ways they went to To essentially erase the fact that they did this. They first went into a protective information category that only certain people could access.

And then it became one that was essentially for the burn bags where no one was supposed to, like completely prohibited, that only the Attorney General and the Director of the FBI could together. Release.

So that's why I think it's worse. That's kind of crazy that no one was supposed to find out about this. The documents that have been revealed, it's his Arctic Frost team.

Sometimes these team names are kind of crazy. That's like a cod that almost sounds like a COD stunt. This Arctic Frost. Who names that? I like the it's like I think Gatorade named a drink that too.

Didn't they? Isn't it the blue drink?

Alright, wait, I'm those people who's like, I want the red drink. What drink did you want? Red? And I would like blue drink. That's that's kinda how I It's Operation Arctic Frost.

And I mean, I've looked at some of the they I mean clearly You had the Biden administration interfering here. That's not even up for discussion. They looked at Lindsey Graham, Marsha Blackburn, Ron Johnson, Josh Hawley, Cynthia Loomis. Uh Bill Haggerty, Dan Sullivan out of Alaska. Tommy Tuberville.

Tuberville. Touberville. I think it's time for Tubberville. of Alabama. and Mike Kelly out of Pennsylvania.

And it was called Cast Assistance, and that's the FBI cellular uh cellular anal analysis survey team.

Sorry.

So it's called their their cast. Mm-hmm. Assistance. And they were tracking them to see what numbers they were calling, location And it was all you know, a part of J6 and the 2020 election stuff. By the way, the Arctic frost thing, that became Jack Smith's, as Grassley noted, his elector case against Trump.

A lot of this is blacked out though. There's a lot that's blacked out that you can't see. Um Wow. How is this not a weaponization? Oh, it is.

And if they were so like if their convictions were in anything righteous, they would have been public with this. They would have been, oh, this is what we're doing because this is what we're seeing and here's our true concerns. But none of that was ever articulated to the public. And instead, they decided to hide every step of the way. Mm-hmm.

Trump called him his sleaze bag after the revelation, which I think that's probably the nicest thing that you could call him at this point. I mean, the guy clearly had a political vendetta.

So, this all kicked off the probe.

So, Arctic Frost was their investigation into election interference concerns. And then The Probe they launched the probe in April of 22. And Jack Smith took it over then. And then they targeted these lawmakers.

Now the senator said They were trying to figure out what grounds that he had. to surveil them. Like they were actually, you know Who were they looking at? Who are they calling? and what time at least From what we see in the documentation, they weren't actually like tapping into the phones like they were doing with Carter Page.

But they were watching everything that they did. And I think the reason they didn't go that far is because they would have had to go to a FISA judge to get that. And I don't think this was so not so long after Carter Page, because if you remember, Carter Page was going 2015, going into 2012, sorry, 2016, going into 2017. And that lead up into then. into that they had they actually Cut corners and bypass the protocol to get the wiretap.

Surveillance on Carter Page. They did tap into his phones. And I think they also did under Biden, a number of or sorry, Obama Biden, under a number of associated press reporters as well. This one, they didn't tap into it, but they looked at their phone records because they would have had to go and get that particular type of Warrant from a FISA judge, and that would have been disastrous. Can you imagine if they had done that twice?

I mean, it's bad enough, what it is. It's obviously weaponization, how it is right now, but if they had two instances. where they cut corners and abandoned standard operating procedure to get a surveillance warrant on someone going through the FISA courts. I don't and I don't think that the FISA court would have I don't think that they would have gotten a judge there to do it Twice because they already had that one judge that left. She was forced to resign because of her part.

in the Carter Page surveillance. Because she let all that go through. And those wheels were greased, if you remember, by the Ors, Nelly Orr and Bruce Orr. Bruce Orr was at DOJ, Nelly Orr was at Fusion GPS, and he had also worked with FBI, so they had, you know. They had a whole system there.

So what was what were the grounds for them to to to do this? And some of the lawmakers, I mean, these were all. These lawma every one of them I mean Maybe with the exception of Uh grassly. They were all Um very vocal about questioning the veracity Of ballots from states that had suspended their checks and balances. If you remember, And this is what gets lost in the discussion from the left.

I take issue with people saying that they were trying to upend an election back in 2020. It wasn't anything like what Democrats were trying to legitimately do in 2016. By the way, if you want to talk about stealing elections, let's look at what Democrats were trying to do in 2016. There is ample evidence. to not just beg the question, but actually to just make the statement.

That they were trying to influence and undo a free and fair election. In 2020, the only objections, and this is what people don't understand about this process, people were not trying to stop the flipping election, okay? They were not trying to stop the certification of the election as a whole. You had lawmakers that had every right to ask. Whether or not These ballots were legitimate, that were coming from certain states, certain counties within certain states.

And here's why. If you remember during COVID with the lockdown, A lot of states decided to upend their procedures for mail-in ballots and early voting and To lessen the amount of crowds that were going to polling places.

So you remember they had like drop boxes you could drop your ballot in, you could pick it up and do, you know, all of this weird stuff. A lot of them even suspended signature matching on ballots that were mailed in. And some of the ballots, and there were, if you go back and look at what was widely reported, there were instances of ballots that were received and counted. That did not even have a stamped, a postmark date on it, which that's kind of important, I would think.

So you can tell whether or not a ballot is arriving in time and not after an election has ended. And this is all legitimate. I don't think that anybody would have any objections to these things. What the left tried to do is distract from these very legitimate concerns to which they had no defense and act like instead it was Republicans objecting to the election as a whole. And that's a lie.

It's a lie to cover up. the erosion of voter of ballot integrity county by county.

So, for instance, in like states like Pennsylvania, even in states like Georgia, Georgia changed a lot of their voting procedures.

Now, if you remember later on, they went back and they made permanent a lot of these changes, which I actually didn't agree with. There were a lot of Uh, authors, this was even before the Roe v. Wade stuff that happened. There were a lot of authors that were saying, oh my gosh, they're stealing elections. Or a lot of actors, athletes.

Celebrities, films that were threatening to not shoot in Georgia, all of this other stuff because they were mad and they kept saying that Georgia was trying to rob people of their. Ability to vote or rob the election when really Georgia was actually making permanent the changes that were made during COVID, which I actually thought were bad. That's just my opinion. I thought that they were bad, and I thought you don't take something that really needed to not be done in the first place during a time of pandemic and then actually codify it and make it, you know, make it law. A lot of these states, like Pennsylvania, there were counties that had suspended signature matching.

And so the argument is this. Every states have the sovereignty to run their elections the way they see fit, and that's all understandable, right? Nobody objects to that. But if you're Pennsylvania and you want Texas to accept the legitimacy of your ballots, then you need to uphold the promises that you made to these states in order to have that happen.

So if Pennsylvania is like, we have all of these checks and balances to make sure that these ballots are legitimate, and Texas goes, oh, we like that.

Okay, well, you know, we'll consider it, we will take into account your votes. And then you change it. And you're like, well, we're not even going to have signature matching. Oh, we can't even tell whether or not these ballots even came in before the election ended. That's a major problem.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what lawmakers were explicitly objecting to. They were making sure that the ballots were fulfilling the obligation that the states had made to one another. If you, you can run your elections how you want to, but by God, you better have some ways to authenticate and verify these ballots and uphold the integrity of the ballot and the integrity of the will of the people at the same time. You can run your elections how you want to, but if you want it to have effect in other states, you need to be following the word that you gave. And that's the whole point.

And so what they were trying to do here is I think this was in conjunction with all of the people spinning that narrative saying that, well, Republicans are trying to undo the election. And just to add meat to it, they decided to go after, quite honestly, some of the most innocuous lawmakers in the Senate. I mean, really, Chuck Grassley, do you know what he tweets about most of the time? The deer he sees on the side of the road. I mean, going after Marsha Blackburn, she's like, one of the Nicest people.

She's from Tennessee, one of the sweetest people. Going after people like Tommy Tubberville? Like why? Why in the world? This is so there's one reason why.

They wanted to intimidate, they wanted to chill dissent, and they wanted to really give. They wanted to enhance the idea that these lawmakers were doing something nefarious when, in reality, it was Democrats. Democrats weren't making their move nationally. Democrats were making their move within the states and in the counties. And Republicans were objecting and questioning the veracity of some of these ballots nationally, if that makes sense.

That was what all of that was about. And so much of it, you know, people like Mike Pence didn't help. You know, by feeding into some of this narrative, you know, they didn't help. There were apparently whistleblowers, also, by the way, that came forward and said the FBI had phoned data on Trump and Pence as part of Arctic Frost. They were they were and this is after the FBI, another whistleblower had said that they had 92 Republican-linked groups, like groups like Turning Point USA, that were under the purview of Arctic Frost's investigation.

Is that not insane?

Now, did they ever do that to Black Lives Matter? Nope. Did they ever do that to Antifa? Nope. No, they didn't do that.

Occupy Wall Street? Yep. Chaz chop? No. Mm.

But they did it to parents who would speak up at school board meetings. They did it to Catholics, they did it to the nuns that were objecting to the abortifications. They did it to, you know, everybody. Interesting.

So, yeah, they haven't learned. What this suggests is that Democrats still haven't learned the same Democrats. that threw chaos, that threw us all into chaos in 2016. With the Russian collusion stuff, they're still at it. They have not learned a singular lesson.

And Now what they think they have to do is use, you know, insane rhetoric and then be violent.

So they're adding to it. We got more on the way. We got Florida demand coming up. As we move our partners that help bring you the program, inflammation is a huge thing that everybody deals with, no matter what decade of life that you are in, and not remedying the consequences of inflammation later on, well, that can come back in some pretty bad dividends.

So we're now at that point in the show where I come across a Florida man headline and I'm like, oh. What for Hmm. Before I do that one, let me just put this right here for you, Kane. Let me just set that right here. This came from our uh Florida woman Amber, who finds the Weirdest stuff to send.

God lover. Oh. The floor. You just, yeah, yeah. A Florida man accused of using a cane to beat another driver in a road rage incident.

Good man, his cane, so he's an elderly individual, you know. You know how it can feel so hooked. Florida man accused of beating another driver with his cane. 69-year-old, he got mad because the driver cut him off, so he armed himself with a cane. and decided to Go to beat downtown.

with his cane. I mean, you don't even need anything else at this point. According to the charging affidavit, Thomas Wolfe is charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon because the cane can be used as a deadly weapon. But he said the other driver cut him off. Why would you get out just stop getting out of your car and doing stuff?

Stop fighting other people. I mean, yes, no one else can drive but you. I get it. I feel that way every time I get behind my steering wheel. I'm like, oh my gosh, nobody can drive in Texas.

Oh my gosh. Uh I get it. But that doesn't mean that you should get out and beat someone. With your cane. You're going to get charged.

Also, you could end up like this guy. There's just literally no way to do this. Wait, you're choosing this one? Yeah, I am, because it's ridiculous. No, I know, but this one is insane.

And I feel like so here's the thing. I feel like when people from Florida send me these stories, if I don't read them, then they send me worse ones. They just keep amping it up.

So, just let me a Florida man. with a thermos inserted in his body, was caught sneaking it into Polk County Jail. This is from Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, man tried to smuggle a thermos. into the jail in his prison wallet. Walter Freimier.

That man is fifty one. A deputy, a judge said a deputy likely saved his life and arrested him when he arrested him because he had to take him to the hospital where a specialist had to remove the thermos. He said that the ordeal began with a complaint about a man naked at the park. And the guy said, Well, I'm not naked, you know, I got socks on.

Well, no, that's that's not, sir, that's not true. Um, but they uh What he said was the sheriff in his um When talking to the press about it, he said, Yeah, he put it up the exit ramp. You know what I mean? And then gave a knowing look. Porters described it.

Oh my gosh. I don't I don't have any words.

Okay, there you go. Don't send me any bad ones, guys. Don't send me any horrible ones because then we just it's a horrible thing. Let's see. A Florida man strapped a deputy stolen ATV to his car roof.

That's Impressive actually. Yeah, that's like, you know what? That's some, that's some hillbilly expertise right there. We got our third hour on the way. Stick with us.

Tell them Dana sent you. Any reaction to Bad Bunny being chosen as the Super Bowl halftime? I didn't even know who Bad Bunny was, but it sounds like a terrible decision in my view from what I'm hearing. What's that?

Well, it sounds like uh He's not someone who appeals to a broader audience. And I think, you know, there's so many eyes on the Super Bowl, a lot of young, impressionable children. And I think, in my view, you would have Lee Greenwood or role models doing that, not somebody like this. Thanks, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Okay, God love you. You're such a little Little sweet teddy bear. I'm I'm saying that somewhat sarcastically.

That Speaker Johnson, who is like, I just don't know the bad I I like when when older people say bad bunny. It just sounds hysterical. I say older. I mean, he's like, what are you older than me? Anyway.

I Every minute. A couple of thoughts. You know the joke that Marco Rubio has to take all these jobs? You know, like he has to take all these. I mean, it's a meme that's online where, oh my gosh, Marco Rubio is going to have to take over this now and he's going to have to do this.

And he's sitting, there's a photo of him sitting on the couch in the Oval Office where he's just. Actually, I think that photo was from when Trump was arguing with Zelensky there. Remember that whole first time where they got into kind of a little tiff? And he was sitting there looking just completely over it all. And the joke is that every single time there's an opening that comes up in the administration, they give it to Rubio, which is kind of true because he's like a temporary couple of things.

And I feel kind of like Lee Greenwood is the Marco Rubio of. Like the music stuff. I love Lee Greenwood. Everybody loves Lee Greenwood. But do you think that Lee Greenwood is like, I've sung this song a million times, and it's a great song.

I get it. But y you know what I mean though, 'cause he's got other songs. But do you ever think he's like, oh my gosh, I would like to go on vacation with my family? I mean, do you think that he thinks that at some point? Or does he?

Yeah. I mean, he's such a nice guy. I've met him before. He's a gem. He really is.

But sometimes I wonder. Could you hear Like some of these artists, they're like, oh my gosh, we've played this album so many times. We've played the set list so many times. And it's Lee Greenwood. They're like, Lee, sing the song.

And he's like, I have other albums. And they're like, no, no, no, the song. Yeah. I don't know.

I just think big artists have addressed this in the past, where some people have felt like, man, I play this song a bunch, but then the flip side to that coin is: look, you have a bunch of fans who love this song so much. That seeing you perform it with some tired look on your face is not what these fans want to see. I agree. I agree. I mean, it's.

Yeah. It's it's I don't know. I I I don't think that he not the Super Bowl. I can't believe I'm about to say this, but There I do it. Oh gosh, how do I do this?

Why Why haven't they asked Taylor Swift? I'm not a swifty. Don't dare. Don't you dare. But I mean, she's got the presence she can put on a show.

She doesn't talk about, you know Skanking it up. I mean, I don't know. Her latest album might, I think, have some of that in there, but she's talking about her manners.

So I don't know. I don't, I'm not a Swifty. I can't tell you anything. They can't have that trad wife propaganda on them. Oh, no, but see, I want that.

I want all the girls, all the cat ladies to, meh. I just, I want him to all freak out. But for real, like I get it that Jay-Z and Rock Nation run the Super Bowl halftime show, but it would be great if they could, I don't know, like maybe broaden their horizons a little bit and have a more diverse musical taste. Just for a thought. Just the thought.

'Cause I think the objections to Bad Bunny are the fact that He's very inappropriate. in any language, in terms of the stuff that he discusses.

So I think that's fair to say, right? I mean, that's the thing. Because I hear some of the left talk about it. I really don't care because I'm not gonna they'll I I don't care. Up till the point where the halftime show is really the only thing I would watch because I just don't watch football.

I grew up in a baseball town, I don't watch football. I've never, I don't even, my husband has tried. We've had this conversation before here, guys. God love him. He's tried a million times.

to explain to me how it works. You all out there have been so kind. And it's just not, I'm just, it's not going to happen. It's just, it's, I'm incapable of doing it. It's not going to happen.

Uh so I just I like the halftime show, right? But I I would like to watch it. The best one was Prince. Yeah. That was the best one.

That was the best halftime show that's ever halftimed. That one. And then it rained while he performed Purple Rain, like what? Anyway.

That was a great one. I've seen some other ones that were pretty good. Uh but I just think that with Bad Bunny, it's just, it can be age inappropriate. And the Democrats and the left think, oh, well, he's singing in Spanish, so no one's going to know.

Well, wait a minute. The whole reason that a lot of people are promoting him is because it would be in Spanish. And so you're trying to reach a Hispanic market. But then at the same time, are you not worried about that market being exposed to some of the content? For real?

I think that's a legitimate question, right?

So that doesn't really make any sense either. It sounds actually kind of racist. Oh, we don't care if those people get the. I mean, no, it's just, I just think that it has to be someone who's. It's a tricky thing.

You've got to be able to rock a stadium. And you have to have the presence of performance to do it. And you need to be kind of like all ages appealing, and that's a hard thing to do. I get it. But for crying out loud, I just don't think that he's the one.

Like, I thought Kendrick Lamar was, that was ridiculous. That was, that was like. Oh, I know that I have friends who love him. I don't care. I just don't, not everybody is perfect for that type of show.

You have to be like. on your own without a supporting entity to fill an arena. That's how I look at it. Is that mean, Kane? I feel like that's.

And I know he's I know Bad Bunny's very popular. It Outside the US. Inside the US, I think you've got to change it up when you're talking about specifically a halftime show. Who would you have as a halftime performer? I would have some sort of rock act, a an act that you know plays the center of the spectrum of the audience for football.

Because if you if you're a football audience, you're not a bad bunny enthusiast, right? It's like that's kind of like Obvious.

So I would I would try something that was more in the middle. Uh a decent rock act, something. Get Billy Corgan in there, do something. I don't know.

Steve says Foo Fighters was his pick. Foo Fighters. That would actually be good. Foo Fighters would be good. I mean, dare I say Metallica, but didn't I hear Rush got a new drummer or something?

Oh my gosh. And she is so good. Like, that would be a great one. Rush? Yeah.

Really? You think Rush? Oh, my God. I mean, I think they're a great band. I love Rush.

Yeah, they're anything that would at least symbolize. The unity that Both sides of this you know, entertainment aisle exist. Yeah. Well, they got so how do you say their last name? Niles Anika Niles.

That's their She's the uh uh new drummer that they picked. I mean, they're not, you know, it's She's German. She's amazing. I've been watching videos of her performing, and she's, I've never, oh my gosh, she's ridiculous. It wasn't when you watch her perform.

you immediately know that they didn't pick her because they wanted to have, oh, let's have like a Um What am I thinking of, like a token female? Or, oh, this is going to be a gimmick. No, no, no, they picked her because she's that damn good. She is better than, oh my gosh, she's great. Uh so that that would be actually really cool.

What if you had like Foo Fighters, Metallica, and Rush? Dead. That's a halftime show. Right.

That's a half-time show. I'm just saying. But I just don't think No. Uh do we know are there any supporting acts? Do we know?

I don't even know. I'm sure there are. I'm sure there are. But again, they only have like, what, 20? 25, 30 minutes for this thing?

Lorraine says she's suggesting Post Malone. That'd be good. Yeah, I'm not opposed to it. He's not really inappropriate. Yeah, I'm alright with that.

Yeah, I'd be okay with that one. I'd be pretty middle of the road right now. I mean, I'm even fine with like Rihanna or something like that. I mean, I think they're picking these quote-unquote controversial ones because of look at the earned press they're getting from this right now. This is the earned media they're getting out of it.

It's almost like engagement farming. You put something online that's controversial, you're going to get a lot of pushback from both sides, and it's kind of, I think. Their motivation here. That makes sense. But still, it's kind of ridiculous.

I just think it's a little nutty. But yeah, that makes that makes some sense, I guess. I don't know.

I um It just seems like I don't think they're great at doing halftime shows. Rock Nation. They're not great. It's Jay-Z's thing. I get that was a big deal that they made.

Like a 90s, it was a tribute to like 90s radars.

Okay, now that was pretty decent. That was pretty decent. You know, they kept it. you know, they kept it old school and it was the other thing too is they had a great stage performance. Whereas with Kendrick Lamar just kinda like walked around on the stage and I'm sorry, dude can't he can't hold the he can't hold the vibe in an arena.

Like he's like a smaller venue dude. And I don't will fight people on it. I don't care. I don't I don't really care I don't care. He just, you know.

Anyway, I just was thinking out loud. I can't believe I said that. I don't know what kind of feedback I'm going to get from that, but I don't care. I, you know, she wouldn't be a bad one. But then, if they had the Chiefs in it, then you can't, that's like a conflict, isn't it?

Yeah. Yeah, it's a conflict under interest. And so I guess they don't know. I guess that's why they can't do it. I don't know.

Ooh, I don't know. Anyway, not that it would like. Throw the game or anything, but still. A couple of other things. I just, I found that whole thing interesting and I wanted to.

Wanted to make sure we hit that.

So this. Couple of things. Let me pull this up. I had this thing on the British police. Where The I'm trying this is an insane story.

So let's go back a couple of weeks. In Manchester, England, where you had that terror attack, right? where uh a dude decided to go and attack Jewish worshipers at a synagogue.

Now The guy wasn't armed. Remember, he wasn't armed. But one of the victims was shot and killed. And the other one was hospitalized.

So I was thinking about this. Wait, what? And this was the guy whose name is Jihad, right? Like, oh, your name is Jihad. What are you going to grow up to be?

So And the third one is getting, there's a third victim that's getting treatment in the hospital, and who had also had a gunshot wound.

So you might be wondering: well, how is it? That three victims were shot and one was killed, and Mr. Jihad, literally his name. Didn't even have a firearm.

Well, it was because the British police shot them. Yes. The people who will actively arrest you over a meme. The ones that only people allowed to have guns, they shot these people while they were trying to deal with this terror attack or this guy. Wow, they said the Home Office pathologist They have they have provisionally determined that uh one of the deceased victims would appear to have suffered a wound consistent with a gunshot injury.

Well, dur I c This is just so what, if the jihad doesn't kill you, then the British police will? Like wh What? I've never And I look, I know that it's difficult. in certain instances, but do you realize that I don't think that they're police. Because not all of their police are even able to carry.

And I don't know what kind of training they receive. How do three people end up getting shot when you're trying to get this one guy? Wasn't there? And I'm not trying to arm, you know. armchair quarterback, but Still.

That They said the only shots were fired were from the GMP's authorized firearms offense officers, as they worked to prevent the offender from entering the synagogue and causing further harm. I'm just going to lay that on the table. I have no words for that. That's what happens when You don't I just So the guy who's named Jihad attacks a synagogue to try to kill some of the Jewish people inside, and some of the Jewish people get shot, but Jihad had no gun. Oh my gosh, this is like a Monty Python skit.

This is really embarrassing for their enforcement over there. We have more on the way as we roll towards the bottom of this hour. We have Dinesh D'Souza coming up as well as we move. The folks who helped make the program happen. It's Patriot Mobile, the only Christian conservative cell phone service that is out there.

They want to save you money. Not only do they want to save you money, but they want to make sure that you're getting the best possible coverage so they have access to all of it, all three major networks.

A portion of your bill goes directly to fund things like Folds of Honor and Tunnel for Towers, groups that make a difference for our nation's heroes. And so you're not just paying a phone bill, you're actually standing up for those who stood up for us.

Well, I call this self-cleaning oven.

So this story, a middle school teacher jailed for raping, a 15-year-old was killed in prison by a convicted murderer. Yeah, that's how it works. Ernest Nichols, 60, was found unresponsive inside of his cell at the Grand Correctional Center. On Sunday morning in North Carolina. They sent it in lockdown.

He was pronounced dead about 30 minutes later. And he was convicted of rape in 2011, sentenced to 15 years behind bars. He was going to get out in September 27.

So apparently Uh The He was killed by a fellow prisoner, and he went after this teenager multiple times over the course of six months, apparently. He liked, was, he. It was bad. I'm not going to tell you all the details of the case. But William Baldwin is the 41-year-old who was convicted of second-degree murder in 2010, and he's the guy being accused of killing this guy in this case.

Just saying, that's, you know. self-cleaning oven. I really don't have anything to add to that. A truck of quote, not happy bees. Spills onto Clark Country Road, Clark County Road, excuse me.

This was in Oregon. Firefighters said they encountered a rough, sticky situation when a truck full of not happy bees, that's how they described them, rolled over onto a road near Mount Vista. They had crews that responded and they had the beekeepers come out. They said the bees were not happy. And so it made it very difficult to Free the driver.

The driver refused treatment. A local beekeeper was able to round up the hive, and so I guess the bees are happy again. We gotta protect them. Honeybees, I'm saying. Kids in New York keep dying because they won't stop subway surfing on top of trains.

And then the AP goes, Can it be stopped? Yeah, it's called parents. It's called Parrots. That's who can stop it. They said that there have been over a dozen New Yorkers, many of them young boys, that have been killed or injured after falling off of speeding trains.

And a lot of times they're crushed between the train and tunnel walls or electrocuted by the high-voltage subway tracks. Oh my gosh, and this is like a social media thing. I'm telling you, China's trying to get people to auth themselves by changing the algorithms to show you this stuff. Bartenders are noticing a lack of tips from Gen Z drinkers because they probably weren't raised properly, is why. Tape your bartenders.

There's a reason why it's a thing. Stick with us. Dinesh D'Souza. He's got a new film out. He joins us next.

Partners that help bring you the program. Our friends over at Burn A Gun. It's always important. Look, I carry, I tell you this all the time. I carry, I have no problems using lethal force to protect myself and my loved ones.

But I also realize that. There are times when you're not able to carry because of municipal restrictions or private property restrictions or asinine laws that say 18-year-olds can go and carry full auto in defense of their country in foreign lands, but heaven forbid they're not responsible enough to carry a nine-millimeter semi-automatic pistol here at home if they're living alone and going to college. That being said, this is where the burner gun comes in. You believe in diversification of weapons. That's why you have rifles and pistols and different calibers and blades, etc.

This is just adding to the diversification of your self-defense array. Burn a gun shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. When you compare it to a regular stun gun that has one or two rounds, the burner gun outmatches it by 15 round shot capacity per cartridge. No recoil, easy target acquisition. The CL, the compact launcher, is the most compact model that they have.

It's the size of an iPhone. And there's no gun-free zone sign that matters to the Burner gun. It doesn't care about gun-free zones. It's legal in all 50 states. You can buy it online, have it shipped to your door.

There's no fees. There's no background checks. There's absolutely nothing that is barring you from being. Able to make sure that you have a means with which to defend yourself. Visit burna.com/slash dana.

There's a film that's out that's based on this book that I actually have in my hand right here, The Dragon's Prophecy. Actually, I should hold it up longer. This is a fascinating book, and it gets into. biblical prophecy, but then also Current events.

And it seems like, with the world being so insane, you can kind of find a lot in current events right now. The film, which is in theaters, you can find it at thedragonsprophecyfilm.com. And it comes from author and filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza, who joins us now via video. Dinesh, it's good to see you. Thanks for joining us.

And congrats on the film. Dana, thank you very much. It's, you know, when I made this film, it started out with my interest in biblical archaeology. Then along came October 7th, and then along came Jonathan Kahn with some very arresting things to say about all this. He compares the battles between Israel and Hamas.

to ancient battles in the Bible between the Israelites and a group called the Philistines. Turns out that Philistine and Palestine is in fact the same name transported through history. But what Khan does is he goes on to show the tactics of October 7th can be found in the Bible. Why? Because they're actually not new.

So all of this, I think, drew me in. I thought it'd be interesting to make a different kind of film for me. My earlier films, you know them, many of them are focused on the meaning of America in one way or another. But this is a film that goes abroad. It's also a film that combines the political with the biblical and the spiritual in a way that I haven't done before.

And that's, that's, I love that you mentioned that too with the Philistines, because we've talked about that on the show before. I mean, that's, you have a bunch of Jordanians on a strip of land that was owned by Israel that hijacked this history that Hadrian had given, you know, the land this name despite the Jews after the Second Judean uprising.

So it's just the context there is so incredibly important. And a lot of people that, you know, especially the people that you see in the streets protesting and waving the Hamas flags and all of that, they don't really seem to acknowledge that. I mean, it's like an entirely created, it's a created identity like trans is. It's just very, you know, it's all manufactured. This is very important.

I was talking in Israel recently with Mossab Hassan Yousf. This is the so-called son of Hamas. And he goes, there are no Palestinians, and there has never been a Palestinian state. He goes, but there is something that he calls Palestinianism, which is like the ideology, just like trans ideology. It is a kind of fabricated or invented identity.

And then that identity is used to make preposterous claims on other people. I mean, just to take a concrete example, there's no doubt that the Jews are the original inhabitants of that land. This is where the biblical archaeology is decisive, right? You have stone inscriptions and clay seals coming out of the ground and monuments. And so we now know that Pontius Pilate, the high priest Caiaphas, Jeremiah, Isaiah, King David-I mean, they're the ruins of his palace.

You can stand in them right now.

So there's no question that the Jews belong there. They were there from the beginning. But The Philistines were not Semites. They were not Arabs. They actually came, they're Europeans.

They came from the Aegean. They came from places like Cyprus. Crete. Right, so the Arabs and the Semites who claim to be Palestinians are not indigenous to Gaza. There is a disproportion there between the claim of the Jews and the claim of the Palestinians, at least when it comes to original inhabitancy.

What's so striking about this, and for those who are just joining us, we're talking about Dinesh D'Souza, his new film, The Dragon's Prophecy, is in theaters. And you can find it at the dragonsprophecyfilm.com. And we'll have the trailer and everything as well up. What really strikes me about this is I feel like this is such This is weird. It is a very weird time.

And I know you've talked a little bit about this on social media and elsewhere. It just seems like 10 to 15 years ago. You didn't see the types of anti-Semitism. That we are seeing now. And it's not just on the left anymore.

There are factions of people that I think are new to the right. That are promoting this. And I kind of feel, I mean, I don't want to go down a rabbit hole too deeply, but I sort of feel like it's a giant psyop and China's trying to instigate it. And they would see, they would love nothing more than to watch the Qataris divide everybody, divide that Judo-Christian alliance. And I really think that that's, you know, kind of what a lot of this is.

Speak to that a little bit because you've been, well, I don't want to read your tweets, but there was one that you had involving sheep, which was quite hysterical.

Well, I may not want to repeat that one, but let's say this: you know, in some ways, the anti-Semitism of the left. Is part of their anti-colonial ideology.

Now, it's all inverted because obviously the Jews can't be colonizers. How do you colonize your own land? This is like accusing Native Americans of colonizing America or Asian Indians of colonizing India. It makes absolutely no sense. In fact, if anybody is a colonizer, of course, it's Islam.

If you stand in the middle of Jerusalem on the very site of the Solomonic Temple, the holiest site for Judaism and Christianity, there now sits an Islamic victory arch called the Dome of the Rock. And right next to it, of course, the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

So, this was the Muslims coming out of the Arabian desert, coming out of Syria, storming into Jerusalem, and basically putting this victory arch right there, as if to say they were proud of the colonialism and they wanted the world to see it as you can see it today.

Now, from the right, The motives of the anti-Israel people and the anti-Jewish people, to me, are very difficult to figure out. Here's why: because it's quite clear that there is an unholy alliance. Between the cultural left in the West and the radical jihadis around the world. These are two very different groups. Conceptually, it's hard to see them coming together.

They cannot inhabit each other's worlds, but they are politically allied. Why? Because they hate the same people. And who are those people? The Jews, Israel, Christians, the West.

So it would seem obvious that anybody who believes in Western civilization, anybody who's America First, would recognize this and recognize, listen, these are people who have kind of declared war against us politically, militarily, culturally, morally. And so it makes sense for the Jews and the Christians. It makes sense for Israel and the West to come together against this kind of common two-headed foe. And so when I see people on our own side that are fracturing MA, that are trying to in some ways take MAGA away from Trump, they're trying to break the old kind of Reagan coalition, which has always recognized that America First does not mean America alone. I think this is, I don't know the motives, Dana, but I think the effects are very pernicious.

I think some of the motives, and this might, you know, might be a bit specious, but I think some of the motives are people that are just clout chasing and they found a way, they found a way to break through and to stand alone. Because I can't imagine. you know some of the things that i've seen said like you know people for instance i always hear apac apac apac and do you know how much money apac well let's compare their money to what Qatar gives to American universities as the number one Dineshan you know this I know you do the number one donor to American universities is comes from the Qataris followed by the Communist Party of China yet I don't hear anything about that from these same individuals And then to extend the same point out loud, you know, you will find Christians who are obsessed with genocide in Gaza.

Now, Christians might be slaughtered in much bigger numbers elsewhere in the world. And so, when you have Christians who are indifferent to all that, but obsessed with Gaza, you have to ask, What kind of moral lens, what kind of spectacles are you putting on that makes you single out the Jews? You're always holding the Jews in Israel to a standard you'd never apply to someone else. I had on my podcast, Netanyahu, yesterday, and he was making the point: when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, we didn't count the number of civilians and go, listen, we can't declare war on them. We've got to limit our retaliation to three air raids where we, you know, we kill no more than how many civilians they killed.

No, we go, we have a Pacific war, we drop two atomic bombs, and even the people who don't agree with that say, well, no, we should have done a land invasion of Japan.

Well, you know, Dana, what kind of casualties that would have produced.

So if you think all that is okay, and then suddenly a new standard pops up when you're dealing with the Jews in Israel.

So I think it's a pretty good working definition of anti-Semitism when you single out the Jews and apply a compass or a barometer that you don't apply to anyone else. Do you think some of these influencers that are playing into that, do they do so ignorantly because they're blinded by whatever's being offered? Or is it just because of it's. a personal belief that they have themselves. I don't know.

I mean, you take a guy like Tucker or Candace. I mean, we came to admire these people for other reasons, right? Candace wasn't doing Blexit. She's taking on affirmative action and DEI. And I would speak at her events.

And Tucker came to fame very much because he was talking about COVID. He was talking about the police state and the deep state. He was showing a certain amount of guts in dealing with Fox News. But what I'm saying is, these people have now metamorphosed into really completely different people, where today, almost any issue you bring up, tariffs. They're going to circle it right back to the Mossad.

It's going to come right back to Netanyahu. It's going to go.

So the obsession is like so strange because they never used to be this way. And all I'm saying is: look, I'm on board with the old Tucker. I'm on board with the old Candace.

Well, the old Candice works. I think she's always been the same. She worked with Al Sharpton and used to dox conservatives. I think she's always been the same. Tucker, I'm a little, it's confusing to me.

And I wanted to. Go into this, and then I'm going to get back to the book and the film. Like, for instance, the texts that came out, you know, these texts that Charlie Kirk was in this group text, and they were talking about Israel, and he was questioning donors. I mean, Dinesh, you know how this is. You know, there are all kinds of advocacy groups out there, and you deal with donors.

I've seen this at other organizations that I've worked with. You know, donors expect to get something for their donations, and it doesn't matter where they come from, but that doesn't mean that Mossad killed somebody. Dana, there's nothing more normal than what's going on here. When I was at the American Enterprise Institute, a lot of the donors were big businesses, right? And these guys were free market until it came to a subsidy for their corporation, and then they were totally in favor of it.

And so the free market economists at AEI would be freaking out, and the president of AEI is caught between the donors and caught between his scholars. Every pastor has, you know, they'll have some sort of a little coterie of rich guys who give money to the church. He depends on these guys, and yet the congregation wants to do X, and these people want to do Y. Very normal. Every politician gets donations from different groups.

They want the politician to do X, but the constituents may want Y.

So this tug of war is the most normal thing in the non-profit world and in American politics.

So what's funny is they're acting as if Charlie Kirk was in some unique situation. What's going on here is you've got an older generation of Republican donors. By the way, not all of them Jews, not even the majority. Evangelical Christians who give him money are also pro-Israel. Republican businessmen who give money to Turning Point want nothing to do with anti-Semitism.

So this was coming from an older, richer donor class that stretches across the entire Republican Party. And there's a kind of generational divide. And I think what was going on is Charlie was trying to navigate that divide. Again, perfectly normal thing to do. You run a youth organization, but the youth don't give you any money.

You collect the money from the old people.

So there it is. But to jump from that, just like you said, to therefore they killed him, suggests a certain type of. Like derangement, I'm hard-pressed to believe that there are otherwise intelligent people saying this kind of nonsense all over social media. That sounds like a psyop. It sounds like somebody who's trying to author a psyop and implement one.

That's what they would say. I mean, you know, just to put on my tinfoil hat.

Okay, the dragonsprophecyfilm.com. Very, very, I mean, it's based on the book, incredibly compelling. And from this, because everything is just, you know, it just feels very serendipitous the way that the timing for everything. Where are we at in terms of Peace in the Middle East, which I don't know if you can ever have that with Hamas being there. And it doesn't seem like there's enough motivation for Arab nations to kind of run them out the way that they need to.

Last question for you. Where What is the future of all of this?

Well, if you believe the Bible, this is not going to be solved in an ultimate sense. The Bible seems to imply that this will be a problem till the last days.

However, I don't take that to mean that you can't make strategic progress. I think Trump is showing great creativity here. The very idea that you can come up with a plan and even get people to be somewhat close to putting their signatures on the page is a spectacular achievement. We haven't seen something like this before in your lifetime or in mine.

So I think that there is, I'm hopeful, I'm not optimistic, but I'm hopeful that there will be some sort of a breakthrough here. And this film, which takes you into dark places, I mean, the first 10 minutes of the film, you're on the scene of October 7th. You're going to experience it in a way very few people have seen this footage, but it's right there in the film. It's going to take you into some dark places, but it ends on a note of spiritual restoration, of healing, and of renewal. And so that mood of the funeral service for Charlie Kirk, we need to come together, we need to Recognize ultimately there are spiritual battles going on.

We need to take the right side in those battles, God's side against the dragon. By the way, the dragon in the title is the devil.

So, I am ultimately hopeful, and I think the fact that we are recognizing now the deeper spiritual roots of many of our culture's problems, this is an extremely wholesome and healthy development. There you go. Dinesh D'Souza, the website thedragonsprophecyfilm.com. Congratulations on the film. It was good to talk with you.

So earlier he talked about how somehow you're not pro-life if you're pro-death penalty. Very, um Political thing to say.
