Seriously, 30 seconds from you helps keep this show going strong. I appreciate you. Welcome to the program. Again, Dana Lash with you, and we are at the top of this.

First hour to get you set up. on this Monday. And Off the top, I mean, we were playing there some of the stuff that you were hearing with these protests in Chicago and elsewhere, and how ultimately. I mean, these protests are incredibly organized. They're all organized.

I mean, you see the same commie stuff and the same signs at every single protest, and it doesn't matter where it takes place. I don't know if you saw this. Bill Melugin was doing a really good rundown. Because, as I said, as I was telling you guys yesterday, you know, the people that they had, that they were targeting and detaining. in Minneapolis were some pretty bad criminals.

And Bill Melugin had a list of all of the people that they were, well, of just some of the, a list of just some of the people they had. They had apprehended and were deporting in the couple of days leading up to that shooting. Um Man, some of these are really bad.

Some of them, I don't know if I can even actually say out loud. That's how bad some of them are. If you. Most of them had to do with rape, and I mean not like rape of just adults, like rape of children. There was one guy, an illegal alien, who had been apprehended, who, and this is again, this is what ICE is up there doing: people who entered the country illegally and kept committing crime.

So, one of the guys that they had detained. This guy uh raped a boy. a young boy, and also raped a young girl. He's had a deportation order since 2018.

So, all these people that are out there protesting against ICE in the street, this is who they are. These are the people they're protecting. There was another one, he raped a 13-year-old girl. He also had procured a child for prostitution. His deportate, get this, his deportation order.

We're since 2006. 2006, he's been in the country illegally. 2006, he's had a deportation order.

Now, those are just the crimes that we know of. By the way. These are just the crimes that That we know of. I mean, there's a lot of others, I'm sure, that we that haven't even, we're not even made aware of. This is what POTUS is talking about, by the way, when he's talking about these repeat offenders.

Some of them, like there was another one, uh child molestation, deportation order since 2003. Rape, rape convict, child molestation. There is another rapist, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, strangulation, deportation order since 2012. Oh, this is really bad. Multiple rapes, convictions.

How do you have multiple convictions? You're still in this country. Multiple convictions for rapes. Uh listen to this, rape with a weapon. Deportation order?

1996. Been in this country continuing to commit these kinds of crimes the entire. These are the people ICE are targeting. That's a big long list. That's just one list.

I have like a whole. Actually, I have a list of like 70 some odd, and you would be you would be sick to your stomach if I read off some of these crimes. Another one, murder, murder conviction, murder conviction, murder conviction, murder conviction, murder, murder, murder, a lot of child molestation, and a lot of rape. Another one who sexually, well, he raped a child and had a DUI. This is a guy named Hernande Cortez Valencia.

Deportation order since 2016. There's another one: manslaughter. Murder, murder, murder, child molestation, child rape, strongarm rape. I mean, it goes on and on and on. These are literally the people that ICE is targeting, and these are the people for whom these protesters are blocking the streets.

That woman who got herself shot because she decided to mow down ICE agents, she was doing it in defense of child rapists and murderers. That is not even an exaggeration. It is 1000% accurate to say that. Without a doubt. Ye I mean, that is the majority.

Of, I mean, when you look at this list that has been released so far, and this is just what Malu Gen had in Minnesota just a couple of days prior to that shooting. When you look at the published crimes of all of these individuals that ICE has been going out and detaining and deporting. Oh my gosh. It I mean I'm really curious to see what it does to the crime rate, especially in Minnesota. There was a huge.

I mean, crime-ridden contingent in Minnesota. I I I mean And these countries, and a lot of them are now just the ones in Minnesota. There's a lot of Somali, Guatemalan, Somali, Somali, Somali, Sierra Leone, Somali, Somali. Mexican, uh Laos.

Somali I mean There's a lot. That's not even with the fraud, right? This is just, that's not even with the fraud that they're trying to use the shooting to distract from. These are just. The people who have been detained, this was in the lead-up.

to this to the shooting. Um Now imagine in all of the other situations with ice. Imagine How that You know, how it gets worse. I mean, this is in every city. This is what they're targeting.

These are, this is who the left is out there protesting for. Notice how these people have never been in the streets protesting for our veterans or better treatment of veterans, but they're sure as hell quick to get out here to defend illegal alien, literal child rapists. I mean, there are no words, guys. There are no words.

So that's just some of the latest criminals with us. I it's it's Insane. that these are who they are defending. That's who they're defending.

Now In addition to this, Uh, because we've got more. What is this? Let me pull this up. I've got a couple of other things I want to get to you because we got to talk about Greenland, we got to talk about Iran. The protests in Iran have been just exploding.

In Minnesota, you know, they had a Minnesota Ice Watch, that's what that Renee Good belonged to. They were training activists to assault law enforcement. And they they use words like dearrest.

So if you say dearrest, they call that a micro infantada.

So, or intifada, excuse me, they call it a micro intifada.

So, which I don't even know what that means.

So, if you're able to like de get unarrested, That's considered a micro intifada. Are they just like, what is the purpose of this? It's like making up words. They had little drawings and little diagrams. They said each DRS is a shaking off, which is to say each one is a micro intifada, which can spread and help and inspire others.

It i this is some of the insane stuff that they have been I don't know, man. This is... This is crazy. Yeah, Kane's over here just like his eyes are. Dude, I'm telling you, this is, I know, this is how we got to start our day.

We got to start it, because I got to tell you about this stuff. We gotta start our day with this nonsense. It's unfortunate. Yeah, this is mm. telling you.

Some of the other stuff we're going to get into, I didn't really watch the golden, I don't watch the golden globes anymore. The only time that I would ever pay attention to it is because of the dress or the fashion, because I always like the theater of it and I like the old Hollywood aesthetic, which is entirely absent from whatever is happening today. But none of the films that were nominated, the one thing that I saw on social media is everyone's like, who saw this? Who saw any of these films? It's like they do these films just for members of the academy, not for actually people who go out and see these movies.

And I'm curious as to whether or not Oscar winning whatever. As used in a film's advertisement or marketing, whether that even matters anymore. Does it even move the needle to get the audience in the theaters anymore?

So we got a whole bunch of stuff to touch on, including the latest with Venezuela and Iran, people in the streets. And they're also being arrested and targeted. Iran now says that they're going to have a public execution. I think it's tomorrow that they're going to start.

Some of the protesters that they have arrested. This is why these people need to cover their faces. They're being publicly hanged. We're going to talk about this and POTUS's response, all of that and more as we move. It's the friends at WebRoot.

So Jerome Powell. POTUS really amped up his focus of Jerome Powell.

Now, federal prosecutors are opening an investigation, which is said to center on the renovations of the Fed's headquarters, the Federal Reserve's headquarters in Washington, which some are saying is an escalation of POTUS's long-running pressure campaign on Jerome Powell. I'm really curious as to why they need any kind of renovation. That's like the last thing that should happen. It should smell like an old elementary school that's like was built in the 30s. That's what it's honestly what they when I walk into a federal building.

I want to be entirely unimpressed with the outdated everything, right? I just, I don't know. Why does they, why do they even need it? Apparently, the renovation, if you had a guess how much that renovation was, what would you guess? I don't even want to say it.

I don't even want to say it. Billy. Billy. With a B. With a B, as like in Billy Bob.

Yes. That's that's for what? For what? I couldn't even spend two and a half billion and I could probably spend cash. I couldn't even spend that.

Like, on, like, what are you doing? Like, gold toilets? What's happening? I don't know. What is that even?

Let's see. Also. Uh this, I thought this was kind of funny. It was from the Daily Mail. There's an island where they're joking around and saying they could name it after Donald Trump if he blocks Britain's Labor Party, their $30 billion giveaway.

To Martias, I think is how you say it. It's this island, Chagos. The islanders have made an appeal to Trump. They want to veto, they don't want to hand this archipelago over to this other nation.

So they were joking around saying they could name the island after Trump. There was a joke about all these people in Venezuela naming their kids after Donald Trump. I think you played it. Didn't you? Like, this is Donald, this is also Donald, this is Donald Tella.

That's pretty funny. Let's see. Founding member of The Grateful Dead passed away at 78. Bob Weir. I only know one song by The Grateful Dead.

They seem pretty chill. You know, like the proto fish, they seem pretty chill. Uh, so Bob, we are. Uh, Gen Z are arriving to college, apparently, unable to even properly read a sentence, and professors are warning it could lead to a generation of anxious and lonely grads. Oh, I know.

Uh, and Meta signs a nuclear energy deal to promote the Prometheus AI supercluster, which sounds like the beginning of a horror movie that our great-great-great-great-grandchildren will be watching in the future. Like, remember when this generation unleased the looks-at-notes Prometheus AI supercluster, just saying, We got a lot more on the way. Greenland, golden globes, fraud. And why are Democrats all tweeting out about Hamas now? There's a reason.

Check out the Watchdog on Wall Street podcast on Apple, Spotify, wherever you get your podcast. Brighten up your timely news consumption with the Dana Show podcast, where every update comes with a little dash of not so serious, on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. We're at the top, actually, bottom of those first hours.

Like I told you, I didn't really watch The Golden Globes because I don't I just don't care. I don't know what it is. It's just not the same as it used to be. And it used to be that movies that were made for the general audience, those were the ones that ended up. You know, they ended up getting recognized.

Now it's just. I don't know. Like, some of them I've seen, some of them I hadn't, and I don't know. I've just, I question some of the decisions. And it's all just a big, big popularity contest, let's be real.

And of course, I just get tired of the. self-indulged politicking from these celebrities that get on the red carpet and they look at Every You know, opportunity, they look for every opportunity. They don't do this because they believe in these things, they do this because they think it makes them look good. In front of the people who make decisions about stupid Golden Glow movies, right? That's really what it is.

So I don't even know. Like Wanda Psyches, I don't even know what she does, I've never found her funny. She's like has a grating voice. Her voice is, I've never found her funny. Have you ever found her funny, Kane?

Yeah, I used to find her funny. Really? Yeah, like in what way? Like in the early aughts, late 90s? I've never found her to be funny.

Even before she just remember being entertained by her. I was never entertained by her. I don't know. Anyway.

So, everybody, I was wondering, one thing I did see. When I was looking at social media last night to get ready for today, I was like, what are all these like be good pins? Out there people were wearing these pins that said be good. They just all happen to have these pins. All the same kinds of pins, Kane.

Here's Mark Ruffalo. Wearing a pin. Actually, I was going to play 30 instead, but let's play 31 right now since we're playing Mark Ruffalo. You guys know him. He's, I think he takes his Hulk.

Character about being grumpy all the time, way too seriously, and he just can't talk about politics without being purposefully just a D-vag. Listen to him, this is 31. This is for her. This is for the people in the United States who are terrorized and scared today. I know I'm one of them.

I love this country and what I'm seeing here happening is not America. It's not. Mark, why do you feel that this platform is still useful to spread a message like this? Listen, I want to pretend like this is, I want to be here to celebrate, and I am here to celebrate, and I'm proud to have a Golden Globe nomination. But also, this is not normal anymore.

And so I don't know how I could be quiet. And I'm feeling a little sick, so it's hard to BS right now. He's really upset. Mark Ruffalo, he is super upset. Over the uh capture and deportation.

Of, oh, I don't know. Uh people like uh Kulore. Who is an illegal alien convicted of rape, rape with a weapon, and sexual assault, and has had a deportation order since 1996. Mark Ruffalo apparently thinks it is horrible. to deport a criminal illegal alien who keeps raping people over here while he's here illegally.

I mean, how ignorant are people? I mean, those poor rapists are scared for crying out loud. Or what about Pao Chiang, who is an illegal alien convicted of rape and child molestation, who's had a deportation order since 2003? Mark Ruffalo is apparently very upset about the terrified child rapist. I mean, why are we making child rapists so afraid like this, wonders Mark Ruffalo out loud without any sense of self or irony?

Or what about this other illegal alien, Chong Vu, who strong-arm rape of a 12-year-old girl? He kidnapped her so he could make her his sex slave. He had a deportation order since 2004. Won't someone think of the rapist, pleads Mark Ruffalo on his D-bag Golden Globes red carpet? I mean, I'm just curious.

Or what about this is Sridharn Pavin, who was convicted of rape of a young boy and strong-arm sodomy of a girl. He's had a deportation order since 2018.

Won't someone think of the child sodomizers out there, pleads Mark Ruffalo? He's so upset that these people are terrified of getting apprehended and deported. I mean, it's a good thing Mark Ruffalo is out there standing strong for the child rapists, isn't it? It's a good thing Mark Ruffalo is out there standing strong for predators of women. It's a good thing that Mark Ruffalo is out there standing strong for child molesters and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve.

Just in the couple of days leading up to that shooting, 13 murderers, convicted murderers, repeat convicted murderers here in the country illegally.

So it's a good thing that someone like Mark Ruffalo is preening and posturing with his stupid be good pen, which apparently applies to everyone except the criminal, illegal aliens that are coming over here and raping everyone's wives and children. Good thing we got Mark Ruffalo out there. Oh, but there's more. With the purchase of Wendy bag, you get a second one. This is Wanda Sykes, who's never been funny ever.

If Menopause had a voice, it would be Wanda Sykes. Listen. The pin, be good. Tell me the pen. Be good.

Yes. Of course, this is for the mother who was murdered. by ICE agent and it's really sad and Right now. You know, I know people are out marching and all today, and we need to speak up. We need to be out there and shut this rogue.

Government down because it's just awful what they're doing to people. Wanda Sykes thinks it's awful to detain. Child rapists, isn't that so mean? Does that mean she likes child rape? I feel like that's a fair question because they've been, for the people who don't know, ICE has been very public about who they're apprehending.

They haven't hidden any of this. You know, they publish all these names. That's why I have so many of them. You know, they publish all of the names, they publish all of their crimes, they publish how long they've had a deportation order. Everyone knows this, right?

This shouldn't be new news because they publicize it. But what's interesting is how the legacy press doesn't actually publicize that. Huh. What the legacy press does is they insinuate that they're going out and getting legal citizens who are just here making tortillas. I don't know what the hell they think.

Which I think is actually kind of racist, but that's what the legacy press does. Right. I'm I'm What is the issue? Why? I mean, it's one of the most transparent operations I can think of.

Hell, this has been more transparent than pretty much anything else that the federal government has done. I they publicize all of it with mug shots and everything.

So, this idea that, oh my gosh, they're going after, they're just making, you know, who, they're making predators afraid. I'm actually in favor of that. But see, I really question whose side, you know, Wanda Sykes and Mark Ruffalo, people like that, are on.

So, this is one of the reasons why, you know, when I see stuff like this, and I see these people out here running their mouths this way, part of your job as an actor is you have to. Maintain a consistent ability for your viewers to suspend their disbelief when they watch you in a film. And when you are so poisonous because you are such a political zealot, That you can't do that, that's transferred and transposed onto every single character you play. And it's very difficult for people to maintain that suspension of disbelief and buy you in that role because you're such a loudmouth d-bag elsewhere. That's part of the job.

That's part of being able to do your craft.

Now you're free to run your mouth, but people are also free to think that it has forever inhibited your ability to successfully transform into a role for a film on screen or on stage. And that's a completely acceptable viewpoint to have, and it's totally justifiable for the audience to think that way. That's the problem. You know, it's you you can't you can't have it both ways. It's just the way the world works.

So, like I said, I didn't watch a lot of it because of stuff like that. Like, that's the moment I start seeing this. Also, what's interesting that happened over the weekend, I don't know if you guys saw the number of people, Democrat lawmakers, who all started out of nowhere. tweeting the exact same thing. about Hamas and anti-Semitism.

Now this took place. It all began last week, you guys remember in New York, you had literal, this is not an exaggeration. pro-Hamas protesters. who were literally chanting, we support Hamas. We stand with Hamas.

They weren't waving just a Gazan flag, which is still Hamas, but they were waving actual Hamas symbols. and distributing leaflets and things like that. This was in Manhattan. And It was maybe what a day after this I started seeing the same verbiage pop up.

So, for instance, and there are a number of people on social media that were capturing some of this. You had everyone from New York Attorney General Letitia James. Hamas is a terrorist organization. We don't support terrorists, period. And it was all about all the same tweet.

They're all quote tweeting the same original post. Same protesters in Queens chant, quote, say it out, say it loud. Say it loud, say it clear, we support Hamas here. That was their chant, one of their chants.

So Letitia James retweets this. and says Hamas is a terrorist organization. AOC tweets it. And says, marching into a predominantly Jewish neighborhood because the protest was held across the street from a Jewish school. I know, primary school.

She tweeted about it, Chuck Schumer. Hamas is a terrorist organization. And then he had other stuff for it. Kathy Hochl, Hamas is a terrorist organization, calls for the genocide of Jews, etcetera, etcetera. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Hamas is a terrorist organization committed to the murder of Jews.

Zohran Mandani. Hamas is a terrorist organization. There's more. I mean, I have more. Everyone from senators to different mayors, different lawmakers.

All of these people all tweeting the exact same thing. Chuck Schumer, like I said, Gilibrand, there's some. Man.

Now there's a couple of ways to look at it.

So, some of my friends were saying, Are they trying to get ahead of something? What's up here? I think there's a couple of ways. They're doing it obviously for a reason. I think that, number one, they have burned They're Jewish donors.

Because Jewish Democrats are not donating to the Democrat Party the way that they used to anymore. I mean, duh. I mean, it's kind of obvious to see why. They're not donating to Democrats. That's number one.

Number two, I think that their polling has been hurting in some of these areas where they have had historically. Wide, stable, consistent Jewish support. That's number, that's the other thing. But I also think the third thing is that they are seeing some of the stuff that the woke Reich was doing. people like Tucker Carlson and things like that.

and they're trying to find what they believe to be a weak point. A point that they can use to leverage and create further division and exploit that.

So I think it's kind of all three. There's a reason why they pivoted. Remember, Mandani wouldn't even condemn Hamas.

Now he's saying it's, you guys remember that in the lead up to the election. How many different sound bites did we play? Where he was asked by a multitude of journalists whether or not he would condemn Hamas, and he literally verbally would not do it. And now he's tweeting that? That's for a reason.

That's it's an interesting thing to keep an eye on. We have Today and Stupidity on the Way, you don't want to miss, and uh, a bunch of other stuff as well. We're going to be getting into uh, oh, sorry, not days, yeah, days of these United States. What did I say? Today is weekday today.

Oh my gosh, no, days of these United States. We're also going to have Stephen Yates, who's going to be joining us because a couple of things. Remember, there was the guy, a communist Chinese dude, taking again, taking photos of an air base. We got to talk about that. Also, Is Trump Is he reconstituting a Cold War tactic?

that crippled Russia and using it against China. That's something else we're going to talk to Yates about. In the meantime, as we move, the folks won't bring you the program. January is when a lot of people finally stop and look at their money. And instead of chasing big predictions or the next hot thing, they just want something solid.

And that's why gold keeps coming up as a steady, reliable option. I was talking with Colin Plume over at Noble Gold Investments, and we were discussing how no one really knows what 2026 is going to bring: elections, markets, wars. But one thing we do know: gold and silver have outlasted every empire, every crash, every currency. And at the end of the day, it's about that peace of mind. Having a little gold in your strategy can make those wild market swings a lot easier to live with because real wealth isn't flashy, it's being prepared and protecting what you've already built for yourself, your kids, and your grandkids.

to masked thugs to roam our streets and terrorize our communities. and rip families apart. We should be taking care of each other. We should be minding each other. We should be housing the homeless.

We shouldn't be. You know. throwing people to the ground, which brings me... Two Renee Nicole. Good.

murdered in front of Her Fellow citizens in Minneapolis murdered in the streets. And no matter what narrative this administration is trying. to sell us We can see the videos. You know why she was murdered in the streets? She wasn't murdered, first off.

You know why she was shot and killed? Because she tried running over an agent. And she was the one who stalked out ice and then used her vehicle as the lead vehicle per activist on the ground to box them in. Why is that always left out? And if that's intentionally left out, are you saying that it's completely acceptable for people to run over those we don't like?

Because who boy is Dana going to have a field day? You really want me to be able to have that power? Think about it. The left doesn't think about that. You're giving people like me that ability.

And I have way bigger means than you do.

So, I mean, I'm Come on. I mean, I literally will go and acquire a tank for this purpose. I'm so not kidding. If that's the new rule. Sidebar.

Can you remember in our old neighborhood our my neighbor had a tank? Was that one of those little British tanks? And he would drive around with the flag on it. He had a Texas flag, an American flag, drive around with that tank all the time. It was the funniest thing.

He'd pop out the top drinking a sodi. I think a sodium. He was jealous. I mean, yeah, I was like, this is the most American thing in Texas ever. I mean, this is brilliant.

I could do that. We could get tanks and just start steamrolling people over. It's okay, we don't like you. That's our excuse. And then the cops are like, oh, that's right, that's the new rule.

They don't, oh, that's right, you can do that because if you don't like them. Or if you don't like whatever they're enforcing, you can just run them over. Totally acceptable. I'm for that. Like the people who are too slow in a crosswalk, get out the way, girl.

I don't like you. It's okay. They wrote a song about it. I'm saying, right? I mean, just think about it.

Are the people that like walk out into the middle of a of a parking lot from the grocery store looking at their phone completely oblivious to traffic and/or predators that could ambush them and kill them? I'm just saying gun it. Right? It's all right, we don't like you. It's all forgiven.

Oh, you can't do anything because they don't like you. That's the new rule. I'm okay with it. Because then the person with the biggest, baddest vehicle wins. And I will be that person, I will make that happen.

I will dominate with the resources. We will turn this into like a pirate nation. I'm not kidding you. We'll do that. Right?

Kane, your new vehicle could be a tank. It'll take you forever, and I don't know where you're going to put your groceries when you go to the store, but hey. We all agree that a car could be used as a deadly weapon, right?

So, just like a knife, law enforcement's not waiting to be stabbed before they end the threat.

So. I don't understand what this issue is. I mean, you have a split second to react. If you see someone staring you in the face, gunning their car towards you, you're going to shoot them. This is how it happens.

You have a split second to react. It is not the fault of the person who's about to get run over to stop and go, yo, yo, yo, hey, hold up. Mrs. Car operator, are you going to kill me right now? I just want to know before I do two to the head, one to the chest.

Just want to know. Just want to make sure first. It's not how any of this works in real life. And that's why all of these armchair quarterbacks of this, that's why that's why they're saying all this stupid stuff. We have second hour on the way.

Stephen Yates will also be joining us later on. Stick with us, lots more in store as we move. The folks who help make the program possible, it's our friends over at Relief Factor.

Sunday mornings are sacred. I've got my game day routine. coffee, jersey laid out, and my lucky playlist. But the real game changer? New morning uncrustable sandwiches.

I've always loved uncrustable sandwiches, and now I'm all about the new flavors with 12 grams of protein. Bright-eyed Barry, or Up an apple. Bright Eyed Berry's got that flashy, finessey vibe. Like your favorite slot receiver. Up an apple.

Tough and reliable. Like a do-it-all tight end. And players love them. Did you know teams crush over 80,000 uncrustable sandwiches a year? They know it's good.

It's a snack that can go with you anywhere, from the couch to the tailgate or even in the locker room.

Soft bread, yummy fillings, protein-packed. Once it's part of your ritual, you don't skip it. Easy enough for Gronk to grab straight from the freezer. Your new Sunday kickoff ritual starts here with the new morning uncrustable sandwiches. packed with 12 grams of protein.

If we don't take Greenland, Russia or China will, and I'm not letting that happen. If we don't take Greenland, Russia or China will take Greenland, and I am not going to let that happen. Offer you either like I'd love to find a deal with them, it's easier. But one way or the other, we're gonna have Greenland. Yeah.

But he's not talking about it in the sense that Everybody else is that all of the Europeans are. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. Top of the second hour. I mean, I'm kind of.

Uh I'm sort of looking to see what he does. All the look. If every other nation out there can go and colonize for the sake of minerals and protecting resources, you know the United States is part of the world, so that means we get to as well. And you can't get mad at us because we're bigger and better at it. If you don't want to be if you don't want to have to compete with us, then don't do it.

Don't do it. Chad's at Rumble, you can stream at YouTube. You can also watch Channel 347 Direct TV, but it's best to watch on YouTube. That's the best place to go and catch the simulcast. of the show and don't forget the podcast of our previous content.

I keep seeing these hysterical headlines like Kirst Starmer could send boots on the ground. Germany, here's what what's this other one here? Germany is planning an Arctic NATO operation to keep Trump from annexing the Korean Lincoln. They're preparing to set up an Arctic NATO operation to stop the Trump. From this is uh this is silly and a danger from from t taking Greenland, Kane.

Seems pretty hysterical. I don't think that he's going to do that. He, didn't they offer like, we'll buy each of you, because there's only, what, 50,000 people there? Yeah, 57,000. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We'll, we'll, we'll give you some money and we'll buy you. That's basically what he proposed. I think we calculated if we gave everyone a million, it'd be what, $57 billion would be total. That's a fraction of what the Obamacare website costs. That's less than what they still want to give the ATF in terms of a budget.

Right. So yeah, I don't I don't really if take the ATF's budget and just direct it towards that, fine with it. I like that. That's it. Yeah.

I mean, that way it gives us, we've got the Arctic Panama, right? And we we control those minerals. We got a foot up there. I am all right with it. I'm actually not against it.

It's very Alaska. It's very seward, right? That's how it seems. And it makes Russia and China mad.

So I love making those people angry. It's so great. I love that because that's why they want it. They want it for the exact same reason, but somehow it's only holy if they want it. It only works if you give it to geopolitical foes.

We're not doing that.

So the UK they said, Oh, we've held talks with our European allies. about deploy you guys can't do anything by yourselves anyway. It's us that does it all.

So, again, if we have to go and wipe the world's ass, we're going to take the minerals when they become available. And we're going to do it without. having to invade. It's a business acquisition. Which is actually that's the new form of warfare, just a business acquisition.

It's new asymmetrical warfare. We're just going to take some of this. And we're going to buy it out and make it part of us. That's all. Very simple, right?

Make it like a territory. That's okay. I don't know if I'd vacation there anytime soon, but it's real cold up there. You know how I feel about cold and snow and ice and that. I'm not made for it.

But. I'm just saying. But they, ooh, and the Danes are so upset. The Danes, which used. armed action to take Greenland are upset.

That Anyone would even remotely walk into the ballpark of considering to do the same. It's only worthy when we do it. It's only holy when we do it. The United States can't do it. Oh, United States, give us some of your oil.

We don't have any of our own.

Sorry, it's true. It's true. You guys know it. I saw when he was on the plane and he was doing, you know, answering questions from the press pool and all that, where he talked about Denmark's defense. He's like, Did you hear about their defense?

It's two dog sleds. Yeah, they got two dog sleds. That's their defense. Two dog sleds.

Well, I mean, because nobody wants to go up there. I mean, I'm not saying anything bad about Greenland. I'm sure it's beautiful. But We're going to take it and do what? Back in the day when they didn't have the ability to extract minerals, and that wasn't even where our energy was centralized around that type of resource.

I mean, things have changed. It's just the way it is. I'm all fine with acquisitions, like a business acquisition. Yeah, I'm all fine with it. I would incentivize them to vote Republican.

Danas, that's illegal. You know what else is illegal? Changing your requirements for valid, for ballot validation in the middle of an election and expecting all the other states to go along with it, contrary to an established agreement. That's also illegal.

So I don't care about that. Incentivize them to vote Republican. That's it. See, were I president, this is why I can never run for elected office, I'd be like, you can, we'll buy you out. And we'll incentivize it.

You gotta vote this way though. You gotta vote this way. We'll incentivize it. That's it. Very simple.

So I don't know. I just uh but he's making everybody mad. He's making so many I don't think that Kier Starmer really can handle anything else. Why is he talking about getting involved anywhere else? They can't even control basic knife crime on their streets.

They can't even control their terror problem. They can't control any of that.

So and the Danes, Denmark, you're lovely. Sure. You're tired and you have zero ability to do anything. God love you.

So let's just chh. Just be quiet on that front. Very simple.

But it was funny. He said all they do is have two dog sleds. They have two dog sleds and that's it.

Now, Russia has offered to help Trump take care of Greenland. Of course, they did. Look at that! They've offered to help. No thanks.

China wants Greenland. Russia wants Greenland. They want to take control of it. And that is a very, we've talked about this before. Greenland is.

is an incredibly important strategic location. And I think that this move I mean You know, it makes sense. He said they have Russia. I'm looking at this quote: they have Russian and Chinese ships all over the place. But you haven't heard Kier Starmer talk about putting boots on the ground because of China or Russia, have you?

The United States has done literally no different. Trump has joked about a couple of things, but they've done nothing different than what Russia and China have done.

So why is Kier Starmer bending over and grabbing his ankles over this? I mean, I know it's kind of a rhetorical question, but you understand here. You understand. This is about keeping them out. It's about keeping them out.

Plain and simple.

Now. A couple of other things to get into. This, let's see, we were talking about the insanity. of the individuals that have been detained. And deported.

We were having that discussion. I also saw a couple of other things. The protests with Iran have continued, and it's been absolutely unbelievable to watch some of this stuff. To watch these protests. I'm sure everyone at this point has seen the image that came from the video of a woman who was smoking and she.

lit her cigarette with the fire that was burning the Ayatollah's picture. It was actually pretty funny.

So The uh Protesters there are being targeted. There have been numerous stories. They've tried to shut down their internet. Elon Musk has stepped into the fray with his satellite. And there were reports of their Iranian guard.

opening fire on protesters. They've also announced they're going to Uh have a public hanging. customary with their Sharia law. Of a number of these protesters that they have apprehended. And I was looking at some of the stuff.

And this I'm going to pull this up. Ryan Savadera was the one that I saw this from. The, I guess it was Tucker Carlson's newsletter that came out. I don't read it. I don't read that.

I just I've got a lot of other stuff that I read for my own program. But apparently he compared. The woman who was shot in, he was talking about Minnesota, Venezuela, and Gaza. Kind of sounded like he was sort of downplaying. What was happening in Iran?

And I just thought that was kind of why would you downplay it? That was the most that he's talked about, Iran. In the past two weeks, though, was just the one little mention in the newsletter, which I always think is incredibly significant when you're trying to figure out what people's priorities are. I is You you you what they don't focus on. But I noticed in this newsletter when he just kind of touched on Iran, talking about Venezuela, talking about Minneapolis.

He compared Renee Goode to Charlie Kirk. In his newsletter. And I was reading this. He was saying that 37-year-old was an American citizen and the mother of a kindergarten age child, so why did she leave her child? Um I I was really shocked by this.

He said that it was a tragedy, regardless of political affiliations, a woman got shot in the face. He sounds like the left here. I'm reading this, and I'm like, I would, this is something that I would see in the Atlantic. This is something that I would see on M Ms Now, MSNBC or whatever. I I'm just kind of shocked to see it here.

Furthermore, To make the comparison, and I've read the whole thing at this point, unfortunately. To make this comparison, And to try to act like in any way that these are the same. Or that It's indicative of some sort of overbearing police state. Where he says violence around the world is desensitizing Americans to violence at home. And why are so few conservatives viewing this story through a human lens?

Well, spare a thought for the border agent who almost got killed, will you? And then something similar, like the killing of Charlie Kirk, happens, et cetera, et cetera.

So he just, what about he just Melissa Hortmond? Rene Goode with Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk wasn't trying to kill someone with a deadly weapon. Are you comparing Stalking? And harassing ice.

all day abandoning your kids. To go stalk and harass ICE, then use your vehicle to box them in while they're conducting an operation to send back a lot of the people in the list that I mentioned, the child rapists. The Murderers. I mean, we listed their crimes pretty specifically. They are out there defending those individuals, and then they decide to use their vehicle as a deadly weapon and gun it towards an ICE agent, all captured on multiple cameras.

Leaving zero question as to the intent of the driver. And you're comparing that? to Charlie Kirk. Who is simply debating in the public square. I expect the left to do this.

And I at least expect people who cosplay as being members of the quote-unquote right to pretend or at least go along with it. But this is something entirely. Unbelievable. Because they're trying to set it up like, oh, it's a police state. In what way?

That's really ultimately the intimation here. But to compare Rene Good to Charlie Kirk and then try to Indict? Conservatives? for some lack of compassion because a woman chose to play chicken with her own life. That that's somehow reflective upon the character of conservatives.

That's asinine. What happened to Tucker?

Now I would talk to him about it, but he won't come on my show. He's told me that verbatim. He will not come on because I guess it's because I'm not an Islamist apologist and I won't ask.

Softball questions, and I won't laugh and chuckle and go along with everything. I mean, it's unfortunate. I, you know, I got to tell you, I get really tired of people who tell everybody else: well, if you have a problem, call me. If you have a problem, message me. And then when you do, they don't answer because they know that they're going to have to defend their position.

These people are cowards. Absolute cowardice. Don't let it masquerade as anything other than exactly what I said that it was, because that's what it is: cowardice. We got more on the way. As we move, the folks will bring you the program.

It is the people over at Burn a Gun.

Now, look, you guys know, I always carry, I have no problem throwing lead down range. I have no problem using lethal force either to protect myself or my loved ones. I've trained for it, and I have zero issue. I'll sleep like a baby after I don't, no, not gonna happen.

So, I also understand, too, that sometimes you gotta go places where your rights are abridged. I get it. It's awful, unconstitutional. Or maybe you're a college kid.

So, you're a 20-year-old college student. You're living on your own. You're more responsible than most of these commies out in the streets protesting, but yet you're not allowed to protect yourself from the crime that they enable and encourage. What are you going to do when your rights are abridged? You got to find some diverse way to defend yourself.

You need to be able to have some kind of threat deterrent. This is where Burn A Gun comes in.

Now, it's called Burn A Gun, a gun, but it's not a gun. Burna shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away.

Now, you compare it to a regular stun gun or whatever. Stun guns have like one or two rounds, right? Burn a gun has 15 rounds per cartridge.

So you have a lot of opportunities there to get yourself to safety and to deter a threat. And it's about the size. The one I would recommend to you, they have different ones. The one I think you need is the CL, that stands for Compact Launcher. It's roughly the size of an iPhone.

Uh so you can conceal it. And you don't have to worry about recoil. You don't have to worry about target reacquisition, you know, after you fire your first round. And it doesn't care about gun-free zone signs. There's no licenses.

There's no fees. You don't have to pay a tax stamp. You order it on the line and the thing ships to your front porch. And again, can I say it doesn't care about gun-free zone signs? Because, uh-uh-uh, not a gun.

So, this is an option for all of you who want to make sure that you're protecting yourselves, but your rights are being infringed upon. And it's great, a great idea for college kids as well. It's about being prepared and having the options to take control of your safety. You carry different calibers, you carry blades. It's always good to have every angle covered.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss, it's time for Dana's Quick Five.

So apparently there are three key ages that your brain declines dramatically, 57, 70, and 78. That's what cognitive decline speeds up. But they said that you can make lifestyle tweaks, like, you know, being healthy, make sure you're getting enough sleep, you know, eating basic stuff that everybody knows to do. But that's kind of interesting. I would have thought that it would have happened earlier.

I also thought it would have happened like if you became a hardcore progressive or a Zoomer Waffen, that it would immediately begin like a huge, that's already like a decline in cognitive ability. I would have thought, you know, just thought that immediately. Let's see. So this is Polymarket.

So France. has delayed this year's G7? If you want to know what the real relationship between Europe and the United States is like, France delayed this year's G7 summit because they didn't want it to conflict with the UFC event that was planned at the White House for Trump's birthday. That is a real thing that happens.

So, if you're really concerned about the relationship between Europe and the United States, there you go. That pretty much symbolizes it right there, right? Let's see. UK is threatening to quote kidnap Putin. as Russia continues the bombardment.

Really, are they gonna do that? The UK. We're going to come and get you. The UK Defence Secretary, John Healy, has said he would kidnap Putin and hold him accountable for war crimes in Ukraine. The comments came after he visited the capital on Friday.

I don't know how well that works. I wonder what the polymarket is.

Sounds like some Ian Fleming stuff. Yeah, what the polymarket averages are on that. Oh, that's a good question. Yeah, what is that? Let's see.

Also, human heads hung on an Ecuadorian beach in a warning to gangs. I'm actually okay with this. I'm all right with it. This is like what they did to the pirates back in the day. Sidebar, I had a pirate relative who literally was hung off the coast of the Carolinas because he was a pirate.

My culture is not your costume. Ecuadorian police found five human heads hung on display on a tourist beach. They've been dealing with a lot of gang violence. Images show five heads tied with ropes to two wooden posts on the beach in Puerto Lopez, a popular whale watching destination. There was a wooden board that said gang members who extort that was threatening these gang members who extort protection payments that they call vaccine cards locally.

It says the town belongs to us. Keep robbing fishermen and demanding vaccine cards. We already have you identified. Ooh, so let's you know, I'm not. I mean, sometimes that's what it takes.

Uh, let's see here. A suspect was arrested in a pre-dawn fire that left parts of Mississippi's largest synagogue in charred ruins. Very interesting how the press is protecting this guy's identity. We're going to talk about that coming up. Stick with us.

Make some common sense of the crazy headlines with the Dana Show podcast. You're on the go guide for getting up to speed on today's most important stories. Subscribe on YouTube, Apple, or your favorite podcast platform.

Well, we put together an accountability commission exactly to gather all the evidence, but I want you to remember that the federal government, and you heard the vice president say it, claims that they have immunity from these things, and they won't provide any of their own information. We can't gather stuff from them.

So that's why I have encouraged the public to, you know, have your phones at the ready, video everything, bring us your documentation, tell us your stories, make sure that we have witness testimony, and we have federal judges, former federal judges, leading that effort at the Illinois Accountability Commission so that when we are able to hold them accountable, we will be able to do it because we have the evidence.

So okay, so Um, he's m he's that's J.B. Pritzker. the Governor of Illinois. And he's arguing that they're setting up this. Sing to basically just go after eyes is how I'm hearing it.

They're gonna watch, they're gonna set up this. this accountability, whatever project. to gather evidence to hold ICE accountable. For what? What about the criminal illegal aliens that they're arresting and deporting?

What about getting information about those individuals and holding them accountable? I honestly, Democrats don't care about these violent illegal aliens. They really don't. Really, really don't. And It doesn't make any sense.

You're on the side of rapists and predators. That's who you're defending. Think about this too. In Illinois. Cook County and Chicago, really specifically, these counties, as I've said previously, you have.

You know, five counties across the United States that make up for such a significant chunk of crime. And Cook County with Chicago is one of them. And it's the same repeat offenders, according to police, they're the same. I think it used to be 1,400. I think that number is smaller now.

But it's the same repeat offenders. Why doesn't he create an accountability commission to? gather evidence and round up those individuals who keep driving their city's crime rate. Oh, because he uses the crime against innocence as leverage to control innocence. That's what he does.

None of this Is I JB Pritzker, I know he wants to run for the White House in 2028. You are going to see the most ridiculous cast of characters on the Democrat side run for president. You are going to see the most ridiculous lineup run for president in 28. You have J.B. Pritzker, who is like the great value penguin from DC.

He's gonna be running. You have the guy who looks like he could have been in lazy town. have a new sum. He's going to be running. I mean good heavens.

And they're all I the lip service that they're giving to people Who are committing such horrible offenses against American citizens? It's really stunning. It really is. Really, really is. And I I don't know.

The whole Man, what a Mm-hmm. What a freak show that's going to be. We got to get through midterms first, though. We have to get through midterms first. Chris Murphy, cut nine.

He's already threatening another government shutdown. Remember this. Remember who started it. Because I told you, since we just do CRs every three months, we're going to have to have this fight again. Early, early spring.

They're already gearing up for it. Listen to what Chris Murphy is saying now about ICE and government shutdowns. Are you actually willing to shut down the government over these DHS proposals?

Well, I mean, the question is for Republicans. Are they willing to shut down the government simply to endorse the most lawless Department of Homeland Security in the history of the country? Both parties come to a discussion on the budget with priority. Hmm. No.

Yeah, what law did they break? They're gonna if you wanna shut down the government over ice, okay. I'm all about shutting down the government for any reason at all whatsoever.

So I'm not gonna I'm not gonna oppose that. I'm okay with that. Ken, you're okay with that? I'd take that deal. Oh.

I'll take it. I'd take that deal. I wanted to get to this. This is, let me pull this up. Islamism.

And Dallas Express. This story, I've noticed that it was a little um That the media at first didn't really want to be forthright. about The background. Of this student. It's a UT Dallas, University of Texas, a Dallas student.

was arrested In Collin County, on charges Uh Of arson involving a place of worship and a terroristic threat, according to jail records.

Now this happened. On Uh this is December 22nd. And I'm just like wondering why is it? that they were Nobody really was Talking about it, or not talking about it. Nobody was like sharing the name of this individual.

The twenty two year old student Mano Lella was taken into custody. It was arson with intent to damage a habitat or place of worship, Class A misdemeanor, and terroristic threat, etc. He is a male home address is in Frisco, Texas. He's described as being a senior at the University of Texas Dallas, where he was looking at information technology. Uh the they haven't released any other details about this.

Um I mean when you look at the guy and then you hear what he was doing, it kind of sounds terroristy. Yeah. Sounds a little terroristy, gotta say. And charging a place of worship. What?

Trying to burn down a place of worship. In In Dallas, this is what we're talking about with Islamism, by the way. Going after a place of worship in Dallas, in Dallas. And this is in Frisco, this is not far from where we are.

So The uh According to Collin County, he faces first degree felony charge of arson.

So And threats it, but they haven't released anything else, no other information. Why is that, I wonder? Why is that? Like, what did he try to... He apparently also threatened a family, too, and tried to set his own home on fire.

He sounds like a real stellar person here. The investigation is ongoing. They were trying to play down the worship threats, but the place of worship threats. The media needs to stop running defense for Islamism. Or terrorists, period.

They need to stop running defense for this. People have a right to know all of that. That's why so many of these independent media outlets are cropping up.

Now let me pull this up. I got a couple of other things for you as it relates to this because I have something with New Jersey Governor Bill Murphy as well, and then what they're doing in the UK right now, which is kind of crazy.

So first up, let me close this out. First up. Because you were just talking about that student. This um taking forever to load. Phil Murphy had apparently killed New Jersey anti-Semitism legislation.

Now, did he not get the memo that all the Democrats are supposed to be sending out the tweets and doing the thing? Did he not get that tweet? He seems because this is this was a couple of days ago.

So this was like one day before Democrats started their Oh, Hamas is a terrorist.

Now, remember, Amandani went from refusing to condemn Hamas to now. Hamas is a terror organization, but he didn't do it until Schumber, Gillibrand, and everyone else came out and said it.

So Phil Murphy had a press conference. They were talking about Senate seats or whatever, and they were saying that he was saying that yeah um They were concerned for the support of legislation and whether or not they would fuel primary campaigns against incumbents.

So he killed this anti-Semitism legislation apparently in New Jersey. 'Cause they're worried about I if Yeah, they're worried about their base. This is wild. Democrats are going to have a problem that it's going to take more than just some tweets about Hamas to deal with. Like this was in.

Uh says January 7th. in New Jersey. and it was on the New Jersey Turnpike near T Neck Where a northbound school bus that was carrying third graders, it was from a Jewish school. There was a rock that was thrown at the bus. It struck a girl in the head.

She had to go undergo surgery and is expected to recover. The 40-year-old who did it, Hernando Garcia Morales, was arrested at a campsite. faces aggravated assault, endangering a child, et cetera. but he threw a rock inside of a school bus window in New Jersey, fractured her skull. And it has the bus has the name, you know, of the school on the side.

I'm just curious. She had to have emergency brain surgery, and he ran, by the way. He has been charged with aggravated assault, possession of a weapon for unlawful purpose, endangering the welfare of a child, criminal mischief. These people, you can't rehabilitate them. They need to be removed from society.

That's all there is to it.

Now speaking of Islamism, do you know what Kiers Starmer We know what they had to deal with in the UK and Parliament. They were debating a ban on first cousin marriages. What? Keir Starmer blocked it. There's a debate?

an explosion, according to some reporting. in certain communities with first cousins marrying. Kane. I'm going to put you on the spot for a minute. If you were to pick between A, B, and C, All right.

Demo. That this was most frequently occurring in, thus, the proposal of a ban on first cousin marriages. Would it have to do with, let's see here, Protestants, A, doesn't sound right, but B. Pakistani Muslims. That's close.

Or C, let's just pick Catholics. Yeah. Not Protestant or Catholics. I mean, just based on the terms. A's Protestant, B, Pakistani Muslims.

C, Catholics. I'm going to go with. Pakistani Muslims. Is this your final answer? B is my final answer.

B is your final answer. Sir, that is correct. That is correct. What do I do? That's the daily double right there.

That's disappointing. You're also going to get to go on a nice, all-expenses paid trip to Pakistan to witness firsthand the culture that apparently is importing in such an explosion of first cousin marriages that they actually had a proposed to ban it in the UK, which was blocked by Kier Starmer, who is three-quarters fathead. I don't know if you knew that or not. He has the proportions of a baby.

So they blocked the ban. He blocked the ban on first cousin marriages. Because the voters of that subgroup opposed it.

So Um Wow. I mean, they were dealing with birth defect. This is just like some of the public reporting. I'm not, you know, don't hate me. I'm just the messenger here.

They actually blocked it. That's a I don't have any words for that right now. It boggles the sane mind because we all know what happens in these marriages. And the need for medical care at every level of life. After that.

So, not only are they just being born, maybe, in the UK, but they're being born already a burden on the medical system there that's already burdened. Yeah, that's my only objection. I don't want it to burden the medical system, but I don't care what other people do in their own countries. Do whatever you want in your own country. Make your society as weak and stupid as possible.

I'm actually okay with that because it's like a form of natural selection and it's just very sun-zu. It makes our job a lot easier. You know what I'm saying? It's how people learn. The hard way.

I don't know if that's so much involved. Yeah. Find out the hard way, maybe. That might be better. We have Florida Man actually on the way as we move.

It's his life mission to make bad decisions. Yeah. It's time for Florida man. All right, so first up, let me do this story about this guy. How Was accused of chasing somebody with a knife at a Cocoa Beach 7-Eleven.

Titusville man, Florida man, he held up a knife during an argument, chased a guy at a gas station. The 48-year-old named Joshua Hunt's accused of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. They said it's in violation of his probation. I am most upset that it was just a regular knife and it wasn't a machete because every single this is the first story ever where it's just been a knife. Every other story we have, somebody brandished a machete, someone chased somebody else with a machete, someone dual-wielded a machete.

I don't know. The guy had an active Brevard County warrant for violation of probation, but apparently he was at this gas station where a guy that he was had a restraining order that had a restraining order against him worked at this gas station.

So Hunt showed up there and held up a knife that he had hung around his neck and pointed it at the guy and then chased him throughout the store.

So maybe he owed him money. I don't know. Like, just it's crazy. New York Attorney General Letitia James is charging a Florida man with 71 gun crimes. The resident.

Lawrence DeStefano. Days of Our Lives. My grandmother watched that. Stephano Demira. Sixty-five years old, he has no criminal record.

And he's just a Second Amendment aficionado, right? He has a website called Indie Guns that's still active, but he can't fill any orders right now. And he's been held. Without bond in the Orange County Jail for 90 days, they're gonna send him to Rikers. And he built, they had 10 self-bet, they are like one of these 10 self-built arms dealers that are being targeted by Letitia James because she says that he shipped gun kits to New York.

Now, here's what's weird: we're going to have to have the Supreme Court weigh in on this at some point because. Or at least have it go up through the circuit because the Federal law allows for you to be able to hobby build Your own firearm using kits at home. That's completely allowed. In fact, it's protected, and that's, we had that, we could do that before we even had the affirmation of the Second Amendment in the Constitution. And it's still federally allowed.

But in New York, they're trying to say that it's not allowed.

So, how can one state abridge your natural rights? And get away with it because that's why Dex Taylor is still sitting in prison, because he just built them for himself. People don't build these to sell them because that already falls under a federal statute. It's illegal to sell things that you make yourself at home without having them serialized, number one. And then, if you do so many and so much in sales per year, you have to register as a federal firearms licensee because you're officially a dealer now.

All of that's already federally regulated.

So, she's trying to go after people for their Second Amendment rights. For no other purpose than just because. And I'm wondering if the AG, I'm curious to find that out, whether or not the AG is going to weigh in on something like this, because it is very interesting. How is it that it's a Florida resident and New York is now trying to apply New York's laws, which are unapplicable really in Florida, to a Florida resident? And why is he being held in an Orange County jail without bond?

So I'm going to find that out. And get more answers on that. On break, no joke. Also, I got one more other. I think I have one more other.

Let's see. Oh, the guy who's carrying Nancy, who was seeing Karry Nancy Pelosi's lectern on January 6th. Remember, that guy's going through statuary hall. He's respecting the red velvet ropes. He was carrying the lectern.

That guy, Adam Johnson, the known as the lectern guy, he's apparently running for office now in Manatee County. He's running for an at-large seat as a Republican at the Manatee County Commission.

So interesting. We got more in store. Third hour on the way. Stick with us. This is Rob Gronkowski from Dudes on Dudes with Gronk and Jules.

Sunday mornings are sacred. I've got my game day routine. coffee, jersey laid out, and my lucky playlist. With the real game changer? New morning uncrustable sandwiches.

I've always loved uncrustable sandwiches, and now I'm all about the new flavors with 12 grams of protein. Bright-eyed Barry, or... Up an apple. Bright Eyed Berry's got that flashy, finessey vibe. Like your favorite slot receiver.

Up an apple. Tough and reliable. Like a do-it-all tight end. And players love them. Did you know teams crush over 80,000 uncrustable sandwiches a year?

They know it's good. It's a snack that can go with you anywhere, from the couch to the tailgate or even in the locker room.

Soft bread, yummy fillings, protein-packed. Once it's part of your ritual, you don't skip it. Easy enough for Gronk to grab straight from the freezer. Your new Sunday kickoff ritual starts here with the new morning uncrustable sandwiches. Packed with 12 grams of protein.

D Does your rhetoric need to change? Yeah, yeah, I said this was a federal agent recklessly using power that ended up in somebody dying because that was a federal agent recklessly using power that ended up in somebody dying. It's exactly what happened. I mean, am I biased in this? Of course, and I'm biased because I got two eyes.

Uh anybody can see these videos, anybody can see that this victim is not a domestic terrorist. I mean, my goodness, she's like doing a three or a four or five point turn. This looks like somebody that's trying to get out of there. If doing a three-point turn or a four-point turn is a domestic terrorist, and my wife is a criminal every single day, this does not make sense. A three-point turn where you gun it and hit an ICE agent standing in front of your car and you look right at him as you're.

Partner is saying, drive, drive. Yeah, the thing is, they told her to get out of the car because they were arresting her at that point because she was impeding an actual federal investigation that was already underway. He forgets to mention that point.

So spare me this mansplaining, this progressive mansplaining of a two or three-point turn. Yes, I get it that that's how Jacob Frey, who I think is his own wife, probably drives. But not everybody else, okay? This is just idiotic. And by the way, he's like, well, my wife does that all the time.

You're a sexist pig, my dude. He like tried to throw that out there as a slight on his own wife. Man, I would beat your ass if you were my husband and you came home after doing something like that. You're out there cucking it out for all the illegal Somali diaspora that's taking over Minneapolis, and then you're going to throw your wife under the bus because you were punked out on live television. Spare me.

Good heavens. She was told to get out of the car. I'm not litigating this anymore. If you either can see what's on multiple video cameras, multiple recordings taken from multiple cameras, or you just want to cuck it out for these child rapists and these predators that ICE was up there deporting. There's no middle ground.

Those are your options, either or. That's it. That's it. Don't stand in front of a car. You got that video that I sent, even if we don't have to play the audio that I dropped in Slack of illustrating this per this.

uh situation perfectly It's this woman. Who Is in front of This was another one of these ICE protests, and she was in front of like literal law enforcement vehicle. It has the the lights and the dash, etc. And she is trying to get in front of the vehicle, and she's pushing the vehicle, and the vehicle's not stopping. The problem is the woman who's trying to, and I'm assuming it's a woman.

The problem is the woman who won't get out of the way. This is impeding. If you do this, you deserve to get run over. End of story. I will run your ass over and I'll laugh while doing it because I'm done entertaining this nonsense.

This is stupid. This is idiotic. Look at this. She's like, no, I'm in a design.

Now that guy's trying to avoid her. She's trying to get hit. That's what this is all about. Oh, here's this guy coming up with his little backpack. I mean, good grief, get out of the way.

If you don't want to get hit, get out of the way. It's very simple. Very simple.

And they had to clear all this stuff out as people kept throwing themselves in front of vehicles.

So yeah, that's going to happen if you're impeding an investigation. If you are impeding law enforcement action, stop acting like it's a police state because people here illegally who are raping everybody's wives and kids. Are being apprehended and deported. Happy to go over that list again with everybody who missed it in the first hour. And if you did miss it in the first hour, you can get it in the podcast, which is in our archive.

I mean, I keep seeing all of these videos where they're doing this. That's impeding. Those are the people who are not acting like peaceful protesters. Stop presenting it as anything other. as anything other.

Just it's this is ridiculous. There's no defending that. No defending that. As I told you last week, there were so many times when I either helped organize a protest or I was there on the street protesting. And I was told one time by police, and I was standing right by the sidewalk.

Literally, my heels were touching the sidewalk, but I was in the road. And I was told that they were going to put my ass in cuffs if I did not get back on that sidewalk. And if they so much as had to tell me again, then I and it was only one time they told me. They said if they had to tell me again, they were going to arrest me. I'm like, okay, I'm not here to litigate it.

I'm not here to, you know.

So it's a choice that you make. It's a choice that you make very simply. And we're not going to pretend that, oh, it's a police state. And then you have Tucker Carlson comparing Renee Goode to Charlie Kirk. I mean, do you hate Charlie?

Oh, why would you do that? Why would you compare that to Charlie Kirk? and your little newsletter. Why in the world? Charlie was not trying to kill anybody unless you're now taking the side of the left and saying that speech is violence.

This is so stupid. The other thing that he didn't get right in talking about speech is violence is he completely misrepresented. This thing that they passed in Florida. Whether you like it or dislike the law. At least be honest about it.

This is, oh, by the way, he had on James Fishback, who I don't know if you've looked at anything with James Fishback, but James Fishback is apparently accused of some pretty seriously. uh impropriety. uh with some young girls. And In fact, um Someone that I know who lives in Florida, who's been in politics, been in commentary for a long time, was like, I've been talking to the families of the girls involved, etc. Very interesting.

Anyway, so he decides to have on James Fishback. this this very compromise Republican on his program where he misrepresented this law that was passed. Listen. He flew to a foreign country, Israel, to sign a hate speech law for Florida. If you look at the statutory definition of anti-Semitism here in Florida, it actually says that criticizing the Jewish state, that would be Israel, holding them to a double standard, denying them, it's against the law to criticize Israel.

Yes?

So if you're a college student at FSU and you're having a good faith debate, and one of you says Netanyahu is a war criminal, you could literally be punished and expelled from your taxes.

So this law, whether you, and I tend to think the law is a little redundant. But me thinking the law is a little redundant is entirely different from what they're saying here because I've read the law in question that they're talking about. And this is actually a couple of years ago, which is why I don't understand why it's coming up now. I get it that the woke right. The Woke Reich and the Zumerwaffen have a fetish for just like hating on Israel, and they try to conflate.

I mean, they think they don't just have legitimate criticisms. They misrepresent and they create straw mans to argue against, like what we're seeing right here. The law that was in question is a law that has nothing to do with speech. They're actually targeting, it's actually targeting action. And this was passed, like I said, like two years ago.

It's HB 269. It was signed in April of 2023, which then, you know. Quick sidebar, why are they only talking about it now? Are you only talking about it now because this is what people are giving you as a way to continue this whole like anti-Israel shtick? I don't get it.

But it was signed all the way back in 2023. And it doesn't, it has nothing to do with speech. It's literally about. physical criminal actions. And enhancing penalties for certain physical criminal actions.

I mean, I've read the damn thing. We talked about it when it was passed. I said at the time that I thought it was redundant because there were certain things that were already, I see how it fills in certain holes, certain gaps in the law, but it has nothing to do with speech. You can say whatever the hell you want. I mean, still, you can't say I'm going to kill you as you're charging somebody and you're presenting like a clear and present threat.

All of that still, all of that's federal under federal statute.

So, none of this undoes anything federally. It doesn't give the state of Florida a separate pathway beyond what is already incorporated and codified by federal statute.

So, I don't know where they're getting that. This is a quote-unquote hate speech law. It's these people, you know what it is? It's these gay Nazi twinks out there that get it up for Hitler and they cannot stand Israel and they want to misrepresent literally every single thing that has to do with any country that starts with the letter I. They just want to misrepresent it.

I don't know how you can read the bill because HB 269 has to deal with public nuisance. It literally does not, it has nothing to do with speech. I don't even know where the hell these people are getting this. Do they not have reading comprehension? Have they not read the bill?

Should we sit here on air together and go over literally every word and then go over all the previous drafts and go over all of the minutes and all of the debates in order? To fully educate these anti-Semitic Nazi twinks who like apparently get off on pushing misrepresent bad info about Israel, this is stupid. I get it. You love Cutter. I get it.

You get paid by Cutter. Maybe it's. I mean, I'm not, I'm just saying that. I'm just saying it, you know, because it seems. I just can't stand this stuff.

This is so stupid. Like, I'm looking, you can't trespass on people's private property and intimidate and threat and go under private property to distribute materials on private property, things of that nature. They're not talking about speech. They're not talking about the public square.

So the people who were saying this. are literally lying to you. Of course they've lied to you about everything else. And to have James Fish back, A guy who's already He got cut from a Florida school district in 2022 over sexual misconduct. Good job, Epstein Jr.

Is that what we're doing here? We're going to start platforming.

So we're not, we're not, I mean, we're. Go ahead and platform whatever Nazi twink you want to. I get it if that's your thing. But if you're going to have somebody like James Fishback on the show and you're not going to ask him why did you get fired in 2022, were the accusations over sexual misconduct with minor females credible? Don't sit here and masquerade as a badass if you can't even ask these basic questions.

This is such a dodge.

Well, I'm platforming someone and I'm being criticized for platforming. No, you're being criticized for being a coward for having someone on your show and not asking them about that giant elephant in the room.

So, were you banging underage girls? And is that why you got fired from a school in 2022 over sexual misconduct allegations? How the hell do you not ask that question? It is the biggest scandal in that gubernatorial primary. How do you have that person on your show and you not dive into that?

It's like, how in the hell do you sit here and have on somebody like Nick Fuentez? And your first question is: why did you call my so-called friend's wife a jeet? Like, how do you not ask these basic questions? Oh, but they're criticizing me for platforming these people. No, we're saying that you're acting like you're dickless because you're not asking these serious questions.

That's why. Because you're not asking the hard questions.

So don't gaslight us like some self-infatuated leftist. Don't gaslight us into thinking that we're criticizing somebody for platforming someone. We're literally making fun of you for being a coward because you don't have the balls to ask these questions. Go after everybody else on the right. Go after everybody on the right, but then you don't go.

So seriously, James Fishback, can you tell us about the underage girls? Seriously, Nick Fuentez, is it true that you were caught streaming gay porn while you were doing a live stream and your own audience roasted you for it? What's so hard about asking these questions? What's so tough about it? You know, of course, I get it.

People who live in, who go on these very, you know, glossy studios and they have entire swaths of people who package up everything, including pre-interview materials, and they write their questions down. And they have a producer for every single segment. You could have an hour-long show that has like 10 producers. They produce every single segment. I get it.

Maybe you're not used to thinking of these things yourself. But if you're going to try to run as a maverick, then maybe you should at least try. Dana, you're so mean. No enemies to the right. I don't owe my loyalty to anybody who's ever made me question theirs.

Let's get that right. This is Rob Gronkowski from Dudes on Dudes with Gronk and Jules. Sunday mornings are sacred. I've got my game day routine. coffee, jersey laid out, and my lucky playlist.

But the real game changer? New morning uncrustables sandwiches. I've always loved uncrustable sandwiches, and now I'm all about the new flavors with 12 grams of protein. Bright-eyed Barry. Or Up an apple.

Bright Eye Berry's got that flashy, finessey vibe. Like your favorite slot receiver. Up an apple. Tough and reliable. Like a do-it-all tight end.

And players love them. Did you know teams crush over 80,000 uncrushable sandwiches a year? They know it's good. It's a snack that can go with you anywhere, from the couch to the tailgate or even in the locker room.

Soft bread, yummy fillings, protein packed. Once it's part of your ritual, you don't skip it. Easy enough for Gronk to grab straight from the freezer. Your new Sunday kickoff ritual starts here with the new morning uncrustable sandwiches packed with 12 grams of protein. And now, all of the news you would probably miss, it's time for Dana's Quick Five.

So there was one headline that I didn't get to last. Go back to this that I wanted to. Oh, Gen Z.

Okay, Kana's really salty about this and it cracks me up.

So Gen Z, you know, there are certain people who think that everything, that they are the first people to ever do something and that history began the day that they were born.

So apparently Gen Z is making men's makeup go mainstream. And it's this whole thing over at CMBC where they're saying no one ever did makeup on men before Gen Z. David Bowie would like a word. Like, he would like a word. Who else?

Alice Cooper would love to have a word with you. I mean, how far do we want to get? To a greater extent, Kiss. I mean, Kiss, the cure. I mean, they would all love to have a word with you on this stuff.

Good night. Stop it. I can't even deal with these people anymore. Let's see here. Mamdoni is rolling out a plan to boost public.

bathroom access in New York City. Um Apparently, is that really a big thing? Do people freak out over? I'm literally. All I know is that when liberals do bathroom projects, they end up being like a million, two million, four million.

Like in San Francisco, because wasn't it like. A literal Japanese smart toilet that they were installing. One bathroom? Yeah, one bathroom. It was like $110 frillion.

It was, so that I'm sure that's going to go over really well right after he gives everybody free bus fare. But wait, not, he's not doing that anymore. He walked that back too. Let's see. Ooh, there was an upside-down flag at a Missouri post office, which concerned the community.

You shouldn't be doing that at the post office, maybe. You gotta wait. POTUS has gotta give those signals. You know what I mean? It was in Ferguson.

It sparked concern, particularly veterans who really know what that means. And they were trying to figure out why that, I mean, because there's guidelines for all of this. It's supposed to be a signal of extreme distress, but why they were doing that in Ferguson? They don't know. They think it may have been a mistake.

How is it a mistake? That's not a mistake. That's on purpose. Let's stop it. By the way, it's crazy how many words were written to write that article, and there was literally no conclusion at the end of it.

Reporting is heinous. I would fire that byline. That's ridiculous. A man used his own teeth torn out with pliers to saw through duct tape and escape from a kidnapper. That's a dang, that's pretty hardcore.

New York dude who was kidnapped and tortured by a former friend. uh gave uh testimony to put his friend away for decades. He legit I mean, he was tortured. He was tortured. And he legit had to pull out his teeth with pliers in what was described as a grotesque moment of necessity and use it to saw through duct tape, which gave him the ability to escape.

I can't even imagine. It gives me a headache thinking about it. Stephen Yates joins us next. This is Rob Gronkowski from Dudes on Dudes with Gronk and Jules. Sunday mornings are sacred.

I've got my game day routine. Coffee, jersey laid out, and my lucky playlist. But the real game changer. New morning uncrustable sandwiches. I've always loved uncrustable sandwiches, and now I'm all about the new flavors with 12 grams of protein.

Keep your finger on the pulse with the Dana Show Podcast, delivering timely news with insightful analysis, whenever you want, straight to you on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash. With you, you can listen coast to coast, chats at Rumbles, stream at YouTube, channel 347, direct TV, listen terrestrially. We've been discussing, we discussed a little bit about Iran, and we were talking a little bit about Greenland and Venezuela. Here's one thing that I want that really. Piqued my interest actually over the weekend, and it was this post from POTUS.

I'm not going to read the whole thing, but he's saying that they have determined that they're going to increase military spending. He goes, it shouldn't be a trillion dollars, but rather $1.5 trillion, so we can build the dream military we've been long entitled to, and it will keep us caps locked safe and secure, regardless of foe, et cetera, et cetera. When we talked about this with Stephen Yates last week, we were talking about how the move in Venezuela hits Russia and China. Then I started thinking about, because I had just read a piece about the Star Wars defense and Reagan's military spending and what that did to the Soviet Union at the time, because they were trying to match what we were doing, and then we kind of faked them out. And I'm wondering.

If that's not what is being done here. And it just kind of made me think. That seems a little bit like the Reagan-Soviet thing 2.0. Joining us on this and, of course, other China-adjacent issues, Stephen Yates, Senior Research Fellow at the Heritage Institute. You can find him on X at Steve Yates.

Always good to see you, my friend. Am I reading too much into that? Because when I read this post, I'm like, well, I would want China, who economically, they're not exactly healthy, you could say. I would want them to try to match what we do. And it seems like this is really a callback to what Reagan was doing with the Soviets.

How do you view this? I agree, Dana. I think that there are some pretty clear echoes to what the thought process was in the Reagan administration. It was sometimes referred to as an enlargement strategy, where you make the problem so big that the competitors can't really keep up. And so they relent and they sort of sue for peace, or they realize that they just have to go in a completely different direction.

I think there are things that are analogous to the competition we have with China and whomever the peer group they are trying to keep to balance and compete with us are trying to do, where if we are applying technology, remember part of the Reagan vision was the Strategic Defense Initiative, Star Wars, SDI. And people at the time said, oh, this is crazy. We'll never be able to do that.

Well, looking back 50 years later, we were able to do that. The Soviets believed we were going to be able to do it more than a lot of Americans believed it. And it did by pushing the Envelope pushing the investment make them have to pull back on some of the provocation, and it exposed some of the weaknesses of a complaint centrally oriented economy. And it accentuated the flexibility, durability, and expandability of a capitalist, market-driven, flexible economy.

So we were able to grow and out-compete. We did end up with the strongest military in the world, and we lost the ghosts of Vietnam for a time. We now have the ghosts of Iraq and Afghanistan that we're trying to shake. We have a little bit of a self-confidence problem brought on by political insanity of recent times by getting away from lethality and letting the Pentagon lard up on process and other things. But I think what the president is doing is if it's invested right in applied technology, applying it to warfare, demonstrating a willingness to strike hard when needed, but we're not occupying and running nation building, that gives us tremendous opportunity to leapfrog.

And the last part of it that I think is relevant is that there's a Space Race 2.0 going on right now. The Chinese can't beat us to the moon, we've been there. But we can beat them to the point of being able to stay on the moon and launch beyond. And there's a lot of technology and economic and defense benefits that come from being able to do things like that that will kind of make America's superpower status extend, but also make others have to say, you know what, let's just go ahead and make a deal. The sort of Trumpism that's on display now extends beyond just his term if we do these things.

So it's potentially generational and even multi-generational significant in the ways Reagan's move was, as you alluded. We're talking with our friend Steve Yates. You can find him at Steve Yates on X. He worked in two presidential administrations dealing with foreign policy, specifically with China, which, you know, we talked about this last week about the Really amazing operation in Venezuela and sort of the message that sent to the communist Chinese who had their little delegation there. They were undergoing, they were in the middle of talks, I guess, about more energy deals, more Belt and Road.

We have also talked previously about the buildup in the Pacific and whether or not the United States is behind on that. And I don't want to get too excited about a successful op. And I think we've been so starved of the military just doing straight up military things and not doing all this other stuff that we've seen for 30, 40 years prior.

So I don't want to get so excited about that that I read too much into it. Was a lot of this if China could not have pulled that off, Russia couldn't have pulled off what we did in Venezuela, is a lot of the discussion about preparedness, especially as it pertains to the Pacific and China Is the United States really behind the ball? Because if I I maybe would want to push out that narrative to make my enemies think lesser of my capabilities so I can have that strategic advantage of surprise. What is your take on that? Daniel, I think there's a couple of layers to this that you could nudge in either direction, but the sole purpose is to try to make the Chinese have to worry and wonder that maybe they don't have the options that they thought they were having and that maybe their technology and their platforms are not as decisive as they thought, that quantity and quality is a very different kettle of fish.

And so, when you have Chinese tech that gets smoked between India and Pakistan, gets smoked in Venezuela, gets smoked with regard to Iran operations, at a certain point, what you're selling to the world and your own people doesn't trot quite as far as you thought it would.

Now, for us, I also would want to avoid hubris. We do have a ways to go. But what Trump is proving is that we have more comprehensive national power and options than we have thought about and been willing to use. And so, if we are, in fact, less energy dependent, if we are less resource and mineral dependent, if we button down our hemisphere and make this devil's playground no longer open to business for those who want to disrupt and harm us, we actually have economic, military, and other supply chain levers that make deterrence much more plausible in the Indo-Pacific region, strengthens our allies. And if we're pushing our allies, To be more independently capable, that also complicates things for China and other non-status quo actors.

So there's a tremendous amount of what the Trump team is doing that doesn't at first blush look China-related, but it materially improves our stacking up one-to-one with China in a time of crisis and frees us from the crippling leverage that people saw get exposed with rare earths and some other things in recent years. But everything from the military-industrial complex getting kind of right-sized and a little bit of a sobriety checkpoint to the energy and other kinds of things we're doing to the tech investment that we're pulling from the broader Middle East. Team America is doing much, much better in 2026 than it was at the beginning of 2025. And Beijing has to have noted that. They have to have noted that, which makes me think that any kind of action they would undertake against Taiwan is way far off the books now, way far off the calendar, because it seems like they have no idea what they would be up against after.

I mean, you can't tell me that that wasn't time specifically for them to be there in Caracas when it happened, which is pretty amazing. But I don't, not that their imperialistic ambitions for Taiwan are, they've abandoned them, but just that it's probably not going to happen this year.

Well, they have to know that if we can get to Iran and take out critical facilities before not just the Iranians and Russians know, but before the Chinese know, that means we could do the same to them if we have the chutzpah to do it. And so it really comes down to how much do they trust that we or our allies will really leave them alone if they want to do something that cripples the flow of 50% of the world's container shipping traffic. That would be a devastating, it would make the 1929 market crash look like a weekend picnic by comparison.

So they're threatening calamity. For what? Some kind of a dream they've never really been able to have? The Taiwan's never really been a part of China in a meaningful way.

So they want to risk all of that and they think we won't do anything.

So I think the president's actions recently are shaking them to think, oh, shoot, he might be willing to do everything. I mean, after all, at this point, we have the EU running scared that they're going to kind of marshal the three uncles on the corner that constitute their military to stand up to the United States. That's a great way to put it too. And it gets into, it kind of dovetails into the story. This Chinese national, Quilin Wu, who was caught photographing Whiteman Air Force Base.

He crossed the border illegally in 2023, was released back into the country. This came out just actually over the weekend, right before we were going into the weekend. My first thought was, everybody knows if you want to photograph the super shady stuff, you go to Area 51, at least that's the legend.

So I don't know. But I see stuff like this, and it makes me think, my gosh, how far behind the ball are they? But again, you made a really good point. I don't want to buy into our own hubris. But I mean, they're still photographing Air Force bases.

I don't think that the guys saw anything. It's not like they're going to have whatever they're working on parked right out front, you know, so everybody can Oogle it. But still, though, it is a concern. It's a concern, and they have an oversupply of underpaid people.

So they can go ahead and send a lot of people to take photographs of meaningful, meaningless things or surveil what seem to be meaningless undergraduate students who may one day be a presidential appointee if you befriend them now. You know, there's all kinds of investments in human intelligence that they can afford to make because they have a huge supply of people who don't have to apply for jobs in the tech industry or building things. They get sent wherever the government says they'll pay them to go. And so we need to make it a little harder for them to just have a free shot at coming and gathering all of this stuff. We've been very slow to that party, but I think there's been somewhat of an awakening in the last couple of years.

I think we have a lot of reasons to throw shade at what the parts of our government have failed to see or do something about. But we need not just ICE agents, we need FBI agents and others that have some language awareness and some other tactical capabilities to go out and be able to put eyes on these kinds of challenges where we can't expect local and state governments to really be able to provide for the common defense in that way.

So we have some gaps to fill, but I'd still much rather be in our shoes than the People's Republic's shoes when it comes down to it, because I just see we are in a potential renaissance on technical capability, energy capability, maybe even booming economic growth coming over the horizon that's really going to change a lot of perspectives. And if Iran fundamentally changes, Venezuela has fundamentally changed. And for heaven's sake, if Cuba begins to teeter, we're just looking at a completely different world than we've seen really for the last 50 years. Yeah, amen to that. I mean, very, I mean, the world is changing.

I mean, everything over in Iran, and which by the way, one last quick thing before I let you go, because I know we're running long here. Do you think Iran's making overtures? They want to talk to POTUS because he's saying that they're reaching out. They're trying to look for lifelines. Do you think that's true?

And do you think he should? I mean, I think they just all need to go. And we should expedite that without nation building or sending boots, however possible. Yeah, well, I don't envy the president's position in this because it's a harder choice than it looks at first blush. I can see if they have any degree of rationality in the theocratic regime, they should be begging for a deal and for options because they are on top of a combustible situation and they've got empowered neighbors that are ready to hit them.

And so they ought to be suing for peace in a different path. But I also will never ever forget 444 days, and these guys can go pound sand all the way down to hell as far as I'm concerned. And so, and that might be the best fast band-aid poll to then work with what comes after, but it shouldn't be an America alone kind of thing. I mean, all these Europeans that are up in arms about Greenland should be paying much more attention to the strategic significance of a change in Iran. That would make much bigger difference on the world.

Oh, much bigger difference. Golly, Carter's legacy could finally come all tumbling down. What a great thing. What a great way to start. 2026.

Steven Yates. Make the canal the cherry on top. Exactly. That would be great. I would love to see that.

So a U-Haul driver was arrested after plowing their vehicle into a crowd during an anti-Iranian regime protest just outside of Los Angeles and Westwood. I mean, thousands of people were in the streets, and it turned this peaceful protest into just chaos and insanity. The driver was identified as Kalor. Maddenstein? I don't even know how what, it's not a real name.

Too many consonants. It showed people rushed it after he did it too. They were not going to let this go. It was on AIR Channel 7. And uh it showed officers Pulling him from the truck after him.

You can see just the video that wants showing you the number of people that are in the street protesting against the mullahs. And the driver was removed. Protesters chased him and tried to hit him. Police had to pluck him out of there and get him to safety. Uh, to try to figure out what why did he do that?

They arrested him. And they said they're looking at his actions, whether or not they were politically motivated or not. It seems like maybe it was politically motivated. I'm just saying, I mean That's like what That's what Islamists do in the UK is they get these Deliver it, they get these they rent these trucks like this, the lorries, and then they drove them into people. You remember the guy who rented a truck to drive into people at uh on the bridge near uh Parliament.

Uh that was a few years ago.

So The, I don't know, I'm just going to say it seems like there's probably a motivation there, Kane. Probably is political. It's a safe bet. Yeah, we'll talk more about that tomorrow as we get more information. In the meantime, today's stupidity.

All right, this is on Ms.

Now. Oh, boy. Wait, or is this MSNBC? They don't call it MSNBC anymore, right? They want MS Now, or is it Ms.

Now? Ms.

Now. There's a panelist who's confused as to why. ICE would have a gun. I don't know why she's confused, but here's listen to this. The world is watching, and the world knows that America has an issue with guns.

I'm against it. And police, of course. You have an issue with guns and police. The fact that she was shot like this for what? Almost hitting this agent?

I mean, the fact that guns were used and she was shot and killed in this way to me is the most horrifying part. Why does an ICE agent have a gun? Why does the IRS carry guns? You absolute moron, why do the IRS carry guns? Big question, huh?

All right, we got, uh, that's it actually for today. We're going to be back with you tomorrow. Find us on Substack Chapter in Verse, download the podcast. Have a great night. Back tomorrow.
