Every Circumstance where A large number of people have been victimized and lost. I spoke to them. I learned a long time ago what you've all learned in your life. When someone's going through something. Things beyond their comprehension.

They never thought that that could be true. If they see someone who they think understands that maybe they're doing something not the same or similar, it gives them some sense of hope. And I always get criticized sometimes on my staff because when I go to these events I stay for three or four hours and answer all their questions. But it matters. It matters a lot.

And look, I'm talking some of you have gone through a hell of a lot more than I've gone through and a lot more than other people have gone through. And you understand.

So it's just it's just uh people are looking for just something to grab.

Something that gives them some sense, a sense of hope. I mean I get that that travel is difficult like that, but good grief. That's Biden. He just sounds horrible. He sounds awful.

I mean, it's terrifying. It's like beyond parody at this point. He sounds absolutely horrible. And I was watching this because he sounded bad in his speech that he gave when he went over to Israel because he got canceled everywhere else. Everybody else dropped on him because it's just a mess.

And it just, I mean, he just looks like an absolute mess. Welcome to the show. Daniel Lash here with you. A lot of stuff, developments per usual that we'll hit on today, but. The video that came out, this was the stuff that came out after we had adjourned yesterday from the radio program.

And it's bad. They're just I mean, the whole shoot straight thing, what's that about?

So, welcome to the show. Dana Lash here. You can listen around the country, the nationally syndicated radio show. You can sign up for the newsletter over at Substack. The prep on that went out this morning.

There's other stuff that's coming out today. That video, though. It's bad. It is so bad. I made the remark on social media.

I'm like, this is just, I think, a measure of how. desperate How desperate The Democrats are to keep power. how desperate they are to keep power How desperate, I mean, the pictures, golly, the pictures look so bad. I mean, you haven't even seen the oh my gosh, the pictures just look so bad. And The other thing that I saw, it's not just Biden who'sn't totally incompetent.

The White House media team? They sent out a photo last night. They did not blur or censor the faces of any of their special operators. Active duty special operators. They They tweeted it out because Biden was was pictured Shaking hands with these first responders.

And they they have are these for the special the spec ops team. Biden was shaking hands with them. They had not Obscured a single one of their faces. That is standard operating procedure. When I saw this, my first thing I said out loud, holy redacted.

That is Unbelievable to me. It's technically their I think it was their Delta Force back up, their their team. Yeah. And then they deleted it. An hour after hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people had already viewed it.

So they sent out that photo. without censoring a single thing. They put it on Instagram and Twitter. They put it out there without censoring anything, and then they deleted it only after. They had to hurry up and get a picture of Biden out there.

Oh my gosh. Get a picture of him out there. It's unbelievable.

So it's, you have a, you have a barely, you have a, you have a stupid jackwagon, is what you got. And I don't feel bad for Biden and the elder abuse. I don't feel bad that he can barely function. You know why? Because he had every opportunity to say no.

This guy's ambition exceeded his sense, has always exceeded his sense. Same thing with Democrats. They're so damn desperate to hold on to power that they would literally put this cheesehead in there as a placemarker. And that's exactly what it is. That's exactly what this is.

It looked so bad yesterday, guys. How the hell is he going to talk tonight? He's got to get some of Hunter's cocaine. I don't know what else. It is so bad looking.

Well, I'm not suggesting that Hamas deliberately did it. They got to learn how to shoot straight. Wow. Just unbelievable. It just he meandered everywhere.

I mean, even the staff, did you see the memes of Anthony, Anthony Blinken? Yesterday in the background, he looked legit terrified. Like, this is our guy, this is the president of the United States. He literally looked terrified. It is so bad.

And then they were asking him, you know, because as the press does. They were asking him some questions, you know, when they were there on Air Force One, and he couldn't answer a single, he couldn't answer a single thing. He's like, well, you know, audio sound by two.

Well, yeah, we're going to be. We make sense of this. What about getting people out? Yeah. Gotta wrap it up.

We gotta hurry up. You had your five seconds asking questions. We gotta have it up. We gotta just have a breath. Gotta wrap it up.

He's got to go drink his inshore. I mean, they made this a visiting angels plane. That's what it is. This wasn't Air Force One, it was Visiting Angels. It was.

I don't feel bad for him. I do not have any sympathy for him at all. Screw him because he put himself in this position. This power-hungry old dude, he put himself in this position. This walking sunspot put himself in this position.

I don't feel bad for him. And you're not going to make me feel bad for him, because I'm not. I'm just not. I feel I I do feel bad for some of the people that have followed me on social media lately though. Because I get into these moods when there's too much stupidity.

And I. I have zero patience and zero tolerance. And I will go from zero to I'm going to kick your neck off your head in like five under like 0.5 seconds. And these are very clarifying times. And I am shocked at the number of people that I am seeing that would have been totally fine with loading people onto train cars back in the day.

And I felt that's exactly what it's like. And if they don't like it, maybe they shouldn't be like that. Maybe they shouldn't be like that. I was saying some of this last night. While people were still struggling, I'm not even going to start right on this segment on the house race because I hate everybody.

You thought yesterday was bad. Today's d today is even dumber. And by the way, I tripled down on what I said. Matt Gates is the Leroy Jenkins of the Republican Party. I don't care if you like what he does, I don't care.

Have a strategy. Otherwise, no one gives a rat's ass if you do good stuff. No one cares if you're for economic. Conservative economic principles, if you have no strategy when you go in to do something. Separate the two.

Here these idiot Republicans in the House right now. We can't figure out a speaker. Oh my goodness. What are we going to do? Oh.

I can't even. I'm telling you guys, Kane's going to have to come, and he and the Holy Spirit are going to have to team up and put a hand over my mouth at some point in the show, man. It's this can't. I cannot. Third round, guys.

Third round.

Well, I don't know. I just don't know if I like Jim Jordan, even though I was campaigning with him just literally c a couple of weeks ago.

Well, I just don't know if I like Jim Jordan no more. You know it's what it's like. That's exactly what it's like. Man alive.

So we're going to talk about that. We'll talk about some of that stuff. They got Georgetown University now. They're pro. I think if you're.

If you're. Again, there's no gray area for me. No gray area for me. This is the consequence of war. I had people get me.

I can't believe you just want to go in and like rate. No, I don't want to go in. Nobody wanted that. Hamas wanted that. I'm going to reiterate, they were elected and they enjoyed high approval ratings.

Maybe they don't anymore now that they refused to let some of their people leave and they were seen on satellite erecting roadblocks and stopping citizens from leaving.

So maybe they're not going to enjoy a high approval rating after this. But literally, up until just recent times, they were pretty well approved of for a segment of the population over there in the Levant that actually thought Sharia law was great and that suicide bombing was a legitimate, you know, that was a legitimate profession. No, I'm not making this up. I mean, d don't get mad at the messenger here. Get mad at the people who told the surveyors this, and then the surveyors wrote it up and put it into piece under Pew, and they decided to and they published it.

That's just the way it is. It's Hamas chose this. I saw this thing, they had protesters now at Georgetown. They're saying that the school president is causing violence because they don't tell us the words we want to hear. Oh, get over it.

There's no gray area for me. Again, these are clarifying times. And this is why war sucks. It's why war is bad, because you you will have innocents caught up in it. But at the same time, is it worse to allow people to continue down a terroristic path and cause more and more deaths, mostly of their own people too, by the way.

Don't forget, Hamas has killed more Gazans than Israel has. I know that's a very uncomfortable fact for the Hamas fluffers out there, the people who think that they're on, like, you know, some kind of reality terrorist show where they're going to pick them as their favorite stand. I don't know, but. The whole point is that Hamas is more ignorant to their people than Israel is. But for some reason, Especially the white trust fund socialists over here who were born with a silver soon spooned sideways up their backside.

They just think that's so great. For 10 years, Patriot Mobile has been America's only Christian conservative wireless provider. And when I say only, trust me, they're the only one.

Think it's okay to bomb a hospital.

With children. Yeah. You know what's so hard sometimes is watching those videos? And the people telling the kids don't cry. And like let them cry.

And they're shaking!

Somebody knows they keep telling him not. Yeah. Arabic they just they can cry I can cry Oh, I could cry if we're not. Quiet!

Something is wrong! And so I'm telling you right now. President Biden. Get away from her! That's what she sounds like.

And you need to wake up! We're gonna talk more about this. Let's kick it into some headlines. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

I am finally, I am so excited about this. Uh that the Devil Comet Apparently there's a big comet on the way and it is three times bigger than Mount Everest, explodes and it's sending rocks towards Earth and I hope it hits this planet and I hope that honestly we're all blown into the icy depths of space. I'm not joking. I hope we are. As if things weren't apocalyptic enough already.

You know what? It serves us right. Smod for speaker. How about that? I want Smod.

I want Smod. I want Smod for speaker.

So they said that this is coming. It's. This thing is. Could be. about 18 miles in diameter.

That's according to live science. Yeah!

So that means, you know, the more mileage and the bigger that it is. It'll do some damage. It'll do some damage for sure.

So I'm all for that. Let's do it. Let's see. Oh, this is, I mean, not a story anymore. No one's talking about Pennsylvania.

800,000 tons of radioactive oil and gas waste from Pennsylvania are unaccounted for. A new study suggests that poor record keeping on hazardous waste disposal. points to a potential for bigger problems. Yeah, they said that disposal is supposed to be carefully tracked, but 800,000 tons of oil and gas from Pennsylvania oil and gas wells are unaccounted for, according to a recent study. It's from the University of Pittsburgh.

They said that, yeah, they were, yeah, you think that's a problem? Because I think that's kind of a big problem. 800,000 tons? How do you lose 800,000 tons of radioactive waste? Did that nuclear tweak in the Biden administration take it?

I mean, I know he likes taking ladies' luggage. I'm just curious. Quinton Tarantino, who is one of my absolute favorite film directors of all time, visited an IDF Army base in southern Israel in a morale-boosting trip days after. I've been seeing photos of this on Insta, days after Hamas terrorists, they started their slaughter spree. His wife is Israeli and he's visited an Israeli military base boosting morale amongst these troops.

And he posts for camp for photos at the camp in southern Israel and it's been shared online. Maybe he could do an Inglorious Bastards 2. That would be great. And they said one admirer posted images on social saying an exciting moment amidst all the redacted.

So good for Tarantino because he's not, and he's posted about it too. He's not made any, I mean, you can't mistake where he stands on this. The 30-year fixed mortgage rate just hit 8% for the first time since 2000. Yeah, so I have a whole thing on my rundown called domestic, and it's, and we're gonna talk about the economy under the subhead: The Purge is close.

So we have some good news to look forward to today. Yeah. Yeah. So it's the first time since 2000 as treasury yields soar and real estate commissions could be the next fee on the chopping block.

So, coming up, domestic, elsewhere, a lot more. All the latest, stick with us. All right, folks.

And the people telling the kids don't cry. And like let them cry. She said this just yesterday. You know, a full 24 hours after we found out that it was absolutely. The IDF that did this, that it was Hamas that did.

Actually, it was another. I don't give a rat's ass if it was Hamas or if it was. The Islamic jihad. It's all the same. It's all the same.

They're all the same terrorist scum, and they're all going to burn equally in hell.

So, I mean, it's the same thing. I just am so it it's it's She went out there. This is a sitting member of Congress. who was out there. This was literally the guys this was yesterday late afternoon.

What time was this?

Well, it was like one or two o'clock. It happened right as we were concluding the show. when she came out there and was doing this. Because this rally that they had was going all day.

So That I mean, that was hours after. You even had news agencies that were surreptitiously. editing their Headlines and changing things. And she still went out there and was doing this and saying these things. Unbelievable.

Unbelievable. Well, you know, they chose to let it again There is Time stamp footage. There's video, there's all kinds of stuff. I don't want to, we went into this yesterday. I'm not going to go into it again.

You either believe the evidence or you don't. And I think that the people who don't want to believe the evidence, they just want a reason to hate Jews. Honestly, that's it. They just want a reason to hate Jews. If you're going to hate Jews, then just come out and say that's what you're going to do.

Don't try to gaslight us into thinking that you're a rationed person or that you employ ration and reason and that you are, well, I want to examine all the evidence. Spare us.

Okay, we see right through that garbage. Just be honest. At least do one good thing and be honest. At least be honest in your hatred. I'm tired of it.

So this um Her coming out there and saying that, where's the censure? Oh, they can't censor because the house can't figure out a speaker. Can we talk about this for a minute? You can't censor her. You can't do anything because the house doesn't have a speaker.

Hm. Imagine that. Jim Jordan is dropping out of the Speaker's race. He's going to be supporting Patrick McHenry as the temporary speaker until January 3rd.

So okay, there it is. And they said that uh Jim Jordan's technically going to remain speaker designee, but that doesn't really mean a single thing. That's that's it, you know.

So, you know, that's that's it.

So they All of the spending is going to because you know we have still have everyone keep I who are the people telling me that at least they're not spending anything? Are you I don't want to be mean, but have you been paying attention? Because that we are still spending things. We're spending at the current rate of spending. Uh until and it and that'll keep going for so long as we don't have a speaker.

And if there and there's only so much you can empower Patrick McHenry, but there's only so many things you can empower him to do. He's still limited because he is a temporary, he's a placeholder.

So. It's not the same. You can give him certain Uh you can give him permission to do certain things, but it's not the same and he is still limited in everything that he's able to do. I mean, there's only so much.

So that's the latest. I mean, it's, and it's gotten nasty. What gets me, and this is something that Byron Donalds admitted the other day: he's like, Yeah, I think the people who are, you know, pushing Jim Jordan went a little hard. You think so? Because I can tell you the brain trust that was behind that.

I I I like Jim Jordan. But I think that the brain trust and some of the people that I saw that were like kicking off this, let's overwhelm everyone with text and all of that. That is their strategy for everything. And they think that we don't, they think that that's a new thing. They act like their strategy is different every time.

But that's their strategy to approach everything. This is where it gets a little inside baseball with the Republican Party because there are people who pay to have their podcast put on air, pay to play, and they act like they're like these big operatives, but they're not. They actually don't even raise money. They just at all. I don't know what they do.

And they're the ones who are like, well, let's, you know, we're just going to overwhelm people with the switchboard and everything else with text and we're going to do all of this. But they never accomplish anything because their strategy is elementary. It's toddler-esque. I think that you have people, and again, I like Jim Jordan. I've been fine with Jim Jordan.

At this point, I'd be fine with Bigfoot. I really don't care. Because there's only so many things that you can do, only so many permissions that you can give the speaker pro temp, and then. You still don't have a speaker. And This is the worst time.

To not have a speaker. And spending is going on at the current level that it was. And you have the most conservative House majority in a decade. Even if it was just a razor-thin majority, you still had the most conservative House majority in actually over a decade. And the only thing that we controlled in D.C.

and the Leroy Jenkins of the GOP, and I don't care where they stand on issues at this point, on strategy, they're walking turds. They're horrible. They are horrible on strategy. And it's time to admit that. Never be so loyal to a politician that you excuse their mistakes.

Because you think that it's a betrayal to point it out. It is your job as a citizen to point out when they mess up. It is literally your job. People died for your ability to do that.

So Now who knows?

Some word, there was, there were some, I will say, when I was looking at some of the deals that they were entertaining, because. The what Democrats were asking of Jordan to support him for speaker and to make up for the Republicans that decided that we don't care, we're gonna make a point. Uh One of the things that they were entertaining was rolling back some of the Trump tax cut stuff. That's what Democrats were demanding. If Jordan would have agreed to it then he probably would be speaker right now.

So kudos to Jordan on that. Because they were they that's that was what Democrats were proposing last night, that they roll back a portion of the Trump tax cuts, which my biggest my biggest criticism of the Trump tax cuts is that they were temporary. They were never permanent. And I've gone on about this for forever.

So don't tell me you're going to lower my taxes on a second time when you didn't make it permanent the first time.

So good on Jordan for that. But some of this other stuff It's so good. There was this uh what is it? There were reports that some of the people that wanted to see Jordan become speaker were so aggressive. To try to get the votes, that apparently they were sending a Republican in Iowa, Marionette Miller-Meeks.

You have too many names. She was receiving death threats. She's in her second term in the house. How is she back, Jordan, Tuesday? She switched her support to Kate Granger on Wednesday.

Uh Wednesdays, Granger's not running for speaker, but she's led opposition to Jordan. Uh, sidebar that, Kay Granger sends me all kinds of. fundraising stuff. You go to one fundraiser. And you get everything.

I do local fundraisers for some of our judges and our county commissioners and things like that. But um oh man, I get more I get so much stuff from Kay Granger. I'm gonna remember that. What color of permanent marker when I'm writing about why I'm not donating because she was leading the opposition, Kane, should I use when I send it back? Wait, how many colors do you have?

Oh, I have lots of permanent markers, yeah. That's interesting. I feel like it's my American duty. Maybe something I have to think about. Mm-hmm.

Yeah, just let me know. Let me know what color. I got gold and silver, too. Mm-hmm. Sharpies, big giants.

I do.

So she was getting death threats, which I also think is stupid. You don't need to send a speaker race, people. Come on. It's a speaker race. Got Lee.

You know what? Some of these people remind me of some of the folks. Everybody's got these friends. Have you ever, in college, like you go, You know, you go out, you have a couple of drinks, and you go karaoke, right? And you always have that one friend that Thinks that they could have been on, that they would have gotten a record deal if the stars had aligned right and the fates had willed it, right?

There's that one friend and they take it very seriously. And I can't remember what it was, but there was this one she was kind of a friend she was more of a friend of my other friend. And she was trying to get these two other girls together to do harmony parts. I can't remember what it was. I think it was never going to get it.

By uh uh in Vogue. Yeah. And she was like trying to get them to like remember. It was, she got so mad about it. And then she got mad at me 'cause I suggested that she have another drink and sit down 'cause it was just too much.

But those people that take everything so seriously and make even like the most minute things a big giant slap fight, that's what this is. It just gave me those vibes, you know? Like if you're sending out death threats for supporting a speaker race, You probably, you know what? Let's play hide and seek. We'll hide and you seek professional help.

How about that? Yeah, that sounds great, right? Angry phone calls, that's fine, but death threats, that is lame. That's so stupid. I mean, I'm just, if that's the, if everything is, I mean, they had screenshots and stuff that they put up there.

And who sends that in digitally? Who's stupid enough to do that? We're not exactly dealing with the sharpest tools in the shed here either. At this point, I don't care if it's Bigfoot. But I think it's stupid that you could have had Jordan, but you had these people that didn't want to do it.

So I I mean, why? Why? They're going to have a lot to answer for coming up for their primaries. I have a feeling.

So To the audio, I just want to circle back to this. You saw, because this was part of that rally that we saw yesterday. Did you see all the people, the insurrectionists in the capital, Kane? Did you see those insurrectionists? I did.

They, apparently, there were a couple of capital police officers that were assaulted. Did you guys hear about that? Yeah. They had a couple of capital police officers. Who were assaulted.

Listen to some of this. This is some of the storming audio sound bite. Eight, please. And they have a ceasefire. What are they asking for a ceasefire for?

Because if Israel stops returning fire, Israel dies. If Israel stops defending its citizens, people die. Take your stupid entitled butts back home. We're not going to talk about ceasing anything while Hamas has hostages. many of them American.

That season, let Israel do what Israel needs to get done. There's no gray area here. Why are we even entertaining the idea of what do you mean, ceasefire? Ceasefire what? They've got hostages still.

Maybe, why don't you take your stupid dorky banner and demand that Hamas return hostages? How about having a banner that says Return the Hostages? Did any of these geniuses think to ask that? Any of them? Who's firing the rockets?

Who is it, Tomas? Not a single one of them. All these did Rashida Talib say anything about the hostages came? No. Yeah, that's I mean, I saw a lot of video and I'm did I maybe miss a cut?

Because so far I haven't seen it. No, I saw all the video too in in between the crying. And no, I didn't hear anything about the hostages. Not a single thing about the hostages. But she was out there.

I just she reminded me of that plane lady. I'm just She hasn't cried for the hostages. No. She uh again, I'd love to see her censured, but oh, but we can't because we don't have a speaker. We have 20 of them now.

Twenty of the Republicans. that are putting on a stupid circus. 20 Republicans. We got a lot more to break down coming up because. Here's what I'm talking about when I say, well, we're real close to the purge.

I don't know if you've seen this. And I don't know how I feel about this. And I I'm curious about the people who are surveyed. This came out of Miami Herald. The headline is: A large portion of Americans doubt democracy and view violence as acceptable.

Now, I really would love to know. Like, who are the people? They said half were Biden supporters.

So it was oversampled Democrats. forty seven to thirty five.

So it's, you know, that makes a little sense. But it's always these progressives who, again, could not bust a grape in a fruit fight who are like, yeah, we love violence. You are the first people who get your legs broken off. You're the fer you literally are the first people.

So, we're going to discuss this. We got some domestic issues. We're going to circle back on all the latest with Israel. You also have the president who's going to be speaking tonight at 8 p.m. Central.

I assume they're loading him up with steroids and insurer and whatever else, getting his new comfy shoes on. I don't know. I mean, I don't I don't have a lot of high expectations 'cause everything that I saw yesterday. Don't let FOMO get the best of you. Stay in the loop and ahead of the curve by following Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States.

So let us today celebrate America's diversity. and our collective commitment to inclusion. And the importance of equity. Yes, I just did do DEI. Yeah.

We actually did DIE. Exactly. Uh That's the Vice President of the United States. One might say. That There are some serious things happening in the world right now.

So maybe You know, the DEI stuff, let's slow the roll on it. But not Kamala Harris. And yes, I just heard David. Do I? Did she say DIE No, she didn't.

Well, she's first, she said diversity, then inclusion, and then equity.

So yes, I just did do DEI. Yeah, diversity, equity, and inclusion, which is about bigotry and racism. Because in order to have equity, you actually have to discriminate. In order, it's all about having the absolute everybody gets the same chance, even if that means taking someone down a notch. To give it to, as opposed to, well, or sorry, it's giving everyone the same outcome.

Equity is about making sure that people have the same outcome regardless of where they came from, where equality is about making sure that everybody has the same opportunity.

So, opportunity versus outcome. And in order to achieve the exact same outcome, you absolutely have to employ discriminatory measures in order to make that happen. That's just the truth of the matter. And that's literally what, like, MLK fought against. That's what's, I mean, You don't want to employ discrimination to fight discrimination.

And it also ignores people's own choices. We've talked about this before with DEI. But why is she talking about this? I mean, we've got hostages. The economy is doing horrifically.

Biden's tanking in the polls. The videos that were released of him yesterday trying to answer reporter questions, reporters' questions, were some of the worst that I've ever seen. Anthony Blinken behind him looked terrified. The Visiting Angels Plane. He looked terrified.

So we'll discuss some of this because I Y'all, I'm telling you, it is a mess. It is a mess. And then coming up as well, Texas Hilton pulled the plug on a Hamas apologist group conference. We're going to talk about that. We have another day, another field speaker vote for Jim Jordan, who is now saying that he's just going to be the speaker designee.

And he supports McHenry as the placeholder until January. Wha stick with us. You know, sometimes, Dan, you're out there criticizing the media and I want to defend the media, but there is no defense here. This was an atrocious series of mistakes by many different major newsrooms all around the same time on Tuesday. And unfortunately, I don't think there's been enough follow-up or accountability to make sure it doesn't happen again.

I've noticed oftentimes in breaking news stories, breaking news scenarios, when information is lowest, interest is highest. And by the time we actually know the facts, people move on.

Well, this was one of those cases, but it was even worse because when the stakes are highest, it seems the standards were the lowest. And it should be the opposite. I Do we already get hit by the asteroid? Wait, we've Everybody here? Is everybody okay?

Everybody do a check. We're all here, I'm here. Let me pinch my. We're all here, we're here.

Okay. Yeah, we haven't, you know, had any of Hunter's cocaine. First off, welcome, greetings and salutations. Welcome back, Top of the Second Hour. Dana Lash here with you.

Listen Coast to Coast. You can follow the radio show that way, stream it, watch the Simulcast, YouTube, Facebook, channel 347, Direct TV. I'm That was Brian Stelter, right? Tati McTator. Yeah.

Yeah. And he I don't, I'm not used to saying these sorts of things, so give me a moment because. It's like I'm learning to speak again for the first time. My mouth gets like all numb. It's like I'm having a uh What about Bob moment here?

My lips are normal, just thinking about it. He was saying things With his mouth, Cain. That Oh. Oh, wow. That is my mouth is sore now saying that.

Yeah. He was making the words with his mouth And the words Right. What is happening? What is happening? Did we?

Cain did did Did did we just agree with Tater? I Think so. This is The spookiest season of all. Is this one of those even a blind squirrel finds a nut? Or even a broken clock is right twice a day sort of thing.

He's never even been right once a day.

So I don't I'm just that's why I'm like so shocked at this. That's That's I think a measure of how insane this is. I gotta tell you, you guys know Bloomberg news, right? Which I hate. Because Bloomberg News, you know, it's named after the guy who created Mom's Demand and then pretended that it was a grassroot thing 'cause he had the website literally like all bought and purchased and all that and they forgot to hide the name like in the very beginning.

Oh yeah, that's a fun fact. Uh so They came out. I can pull this up because this was yesterday, and I wanted to get the time on this. I think it's like a full day later that they did this. Uh let me pull this up 'cause I think I had this later d on down.

But They came out. like a honestly like a full day later. and they ran with the hole. Story of oh yes, it was the uh Yid Israel that uh blew up a hospital. Oh like a whole day later.

They decided, I guess they got jealous that they weren't in any of the bad media roundups. And they decided to r to push that story. And come out with their own. They had their own. came.

They had their own bad story. This is just wild. Just wild.

So I man, I'm telling you what. Woof. This uh I'm amazed. I'm amazed. All right, I got a couple of other things that I want to hit here, too.

Because we've been talking about the media malpractice and we've can I I've been waiting to get to this topic Huda Beauty. You guys familiar with it? You're not, if you're not, that's okay. That means you're a dude or you like better quality makeup. Yeah.

So, for those of you who like it, when I get mean, you're buckle up.

So, this 40-year-old Kim K wannabe named Huda Katan, she's the founder of Huda Beauty. I don't use their makeup. Because I don't like breaking out from cheap chalk. But she told her Israeli and pro Israel customers on Instagram that she doesn't want their blood money. She was told, and I sent out a newsletter about this, replete with images, She was told that, you know, Israelis all over the world love you and your products, and.

Uh, you know, they also have money because she's posted a whole bunch of pro, I'm not saying pro-Gaza. Hamas propaganda is what she has reposted. And She had one an Israeli customer, and then even just pro-Israel people say, You know, you should probably, you know, be a little bit more careful, et cetera. And she was telling them, I don't want blood money. I don't want your blood money.

I don't want your blood. And I got to tell you, I think that sounds like a solid business move because. When You are an entity in such an oversaturated industry of similar products that don't really do anything, and you have all of these identical influencers. You got a bake under the eye. Great.

It makes you look like you're made of crepe. Go ahead. Even if you're like 18. They, you know, it's a solid business move in this very oversaturated industry with, again, all these identical influencers to tell women who might buy your five-pound tubs of uh cheap drag queen contour uh to keep their money. Right.

Can we also have a time this is where I'm getting very mean. I'm just really not going to take Makeup advice from someone who can't even A, do a smoky eye properly without using five pounds of shadow, or B, contour without making it look like they're just dirty. And you know, contouring, that's literally like you're applying drag queen. Makeup. uh application to female faces.

Which just makes it look chiseled and weird and it doesn't actually s give you the soft appearance that you think you're going for. And half of the females who buy your product can't even properly contour because it just makes it look like they have dirt all over their chin.

So maybe don't. But she's posted all of these images depicting Gazans. By the way, some of them were probably the very ones that Hamas has barred from leaving so they could bravely use them as human shields as victims of Israel. And she has intimated that Israel is the provocateur, right? She hasn't divulged at all to her social media audience.

That it was the elected and fairly popular Hamas that actually began the attacks when they paraglided into a peace festival while shooting revelers from the sky. She hasn't divulged to her audience that apparently fighting for freedom means kidnapping children. Did you know that? All the big freedom fighters, that's the first thing they do: kidnap children. I mean, you know, when MLK was fighting for freedom, that was one.

Oh, wait, no, it wasn't.

So she hasn't divulged any of that to any of her followers. And they certainly, I don't know any other freedom followers or freedom fighters that rape women and torture and kill innocent victims while using the innocent victim's phone to then broadcast via live stream on Facebook, Insta, or TikTok their murders. Like on the victims pages. It's on the internet. Don't look for it because you can't unsee it.

Hamas and their apologists believe that Hamas has the right to attack anyone and everyone that it wants to, and nobody else has the right to defend themselves. While she hasn't talked about how Israel warns Gazan days ahead of any action, while Hamas, literally, there are satellite images. Showing that they have blocked Gazans from fleeing. There's tons of these photos online.

Some of them are Gazans that have taken them and put them up. I mean, you can see they block the roads. They put two trucks back to back. They block the roads. Because they want people to get caught caught in the crossfire.

And this is years after Hamas and Fata have. Repeatedly rejected all solutions for peace. I wanted to share with you: Israel's independence declaration explicitly discusses living in peace and harmony with its Arab neighbors. It says, We extend our hand to all neighboring states and their peoples in an offer of peace and good neighborliness and appeal to them to establish bonds of cooperation and mutual help with the sovereign Jewish people settled in its own land. The State of Israel is prepared to do its share in a common effort for the advancement of the entire Middle East.

Hamas's charter? Very different. They say, quote, There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors. The Palestinian people know better than to consent to having their future rights and fate toyed with.

That's in their actual charter. You tell me. I hopefully linked both of these things and provided screenshots for people who like, oh, show me the babies. There's no gray area. Hamas cannot stop being worthless terrorists, and their core belief is the rejection of their neighbor's right to exist.

They don't care about freedom, they just hate Jews. And all the people who do the apologies for them, they don't want freedom. They just hate Jews. They rape and kill people. They should be rocked the hell off the face of the earth.

Live in peace or live in peaces. Pretty easy. Let Israel finish what Israel needs to do. And I had some drive-bys that were very, very angry at me. And you guys know I'm in a Touch on this again.

They were very angry at me because I say Gazan or I say West Bank because I, just like again, you are not going to. override my free speech right and make me call a dude who chops off a schlong a woman. You are also not going to make me participate in this conjuring into existence a fictional place and a fictional race of people. It's not going to happen. Palestinian is not an ethnicity.

Palestine is not a country, and it's not supported by thousands of years. Of antiquity, not mentioned in the Quran, it's not mentioned in the Bible. And it was a name that was given to enemies of Jewish people after Hadrian quelled the second Jewish uprising, spitefully so, to name it Syria-Palestina after the Philistines, who were not Arab, by the way, a seafaring people. And this was several centuries before the people, Arabic people, even got into that particular area in the first place, but did so, named them that as a way to spitefully get back at Jewish people and further disassociate them with their origins on the land.

So I just don't pay attention. I just don't participate in magic and pretend and all of that stuff. I just don't. I'm not doing that. I mean, and this is, and I get that Yasser Arafat has preached that, and I get that there are other politicians that want to sit here and push this idea of a historical Palestinian state, but there literally has never been a Palestinian state.

There's never been a Palestine. There's never been a Palestinian anything. And I'm happy to spend an entire show dragging people painfully throughout thousands of years to educate them on this. Very happy to do so because, see, we are a people who believe in science and we believe in fact and we believe in actual history, not made-up history that has been fabricated out of the ether. We actually, we believe in concrete ideas and real things.

So that's why I believe what I believe. And that's why I say Gazan, and that's why I say Gaza, and that's why I say West Bank, and I will say two territories, but I'm not going to refer to a non-existent country or non-existent people. And anyone who has any problems with that, they can freely go pound sand. Don't care.

Now With this The Whole push on this. We were talking about the bad press and the media malpractice and the left. Have you seen the riots? They've been having outside of embassies. Greece.

In Lebanon, elsewhere. They've been expanding. as well as protests in other countries. And it was all kicked off by this fake report. Isn't that something?

It's almost like it was organized. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. For real, like, can we just do some karaoke with superstition? Cause, like, I'll do, I will totally, like, I'll.

I'll play on that later list. All right, CBS, X, formerly Twitter, tests charging new users, new users, $1 a year to use basic features. They said that they're testing out a subscription model, which they're going to charge new users a year to use the basic stuff. They said it's launching its not a bot subscription method. They're starting at New Zealand and Philippines.

They should probably start it where there are bots. Is that where their butt's at? Where the bots at, because that's probably where they should. They should launch it. I'm just...

You know, they said they're gonna evaluate this potentially powerful measure, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I think it's actually brilliant how he monetized it. and now you can earn money because he sells ads based on engagement. I actually think that's brilliant. I think it's absolutely brilliant how he did it.

You can get mad how he did it, whatever. I didn't pay for my check mark. You can get, I think it's just because I've been there forever. But I actually think that's so like if sometimes if I post something, it's kind of a test just to see about the engagement.

So just know that. But anyway, it's taken away some of my hate mail thunder. I gotta say, you know? All right, so a lot, but some people aren't mad about it or are mad about it. I don't know.

I'm kind of ambivalent. It's a dollar a year. You know that you buy apps that are worth more than that, and you have to pay that monthly. You know what I'm saying?

So I don't know. Uh, also, let's see, grab a lot of other things here. Uh, this, oh, yeah, the 23andMe. They have suffered another breach, and your data is in jeopardy. The company is investigating a hacker with the moniker Golem.

Published a new data set purportedly containing the records of 4 million users of 23andMe. TechCrunch reported that some of the newly published dates align with publicly available 23andMe data on user info and genetic details. It's all the indication suggests that it's real. And 23andE told TechCrunch they were reviewing the data to determine if it was legitimate. They already had this happen earlier because, like literally, started this month, there was a hacker that stole data and put it up for sale.

And they were targeting the Ashkenazi Jews. That was from Wired, people who were of that ancestry and who were, I guess, had submitted their information to stop sending your stuff to sites like 23andMe. Stop it because do you trust any of that? No, I don't even trust a Roomba. I have I I no no no no no no no I love it.

Residents discover a shopping trolley on top of a lamppost, sparking a conspiracy theory. It's a fun little mystery for the Brits. I'll come back to this one in our headlines in our third hour. But coming up, We have so well the latest on Israel. Stay with us.

Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts, because knowledge is your ultimate superpower. And to my president, to our president. Yes, he's still on well. Hold on. I know, I hey, I want him to know.

As a Palestinian American is also somebody of Muslim faith. I'm not going to forget this. And I think a lot of people are not going to forget this. And it's not... It's got it's got It's not a threat.

It is it. They think we're joking. Hmm. I mean, I think the White House and everyone thinks That we're just gonna sit back. and let this just continue to happen.

No! The back to the mountain? Our lives are not safe with you. The farmer peace president. Goodness.

Rashida Talib, who, if we had House leadership at the moment, I think she should be brought up for censure. And hopefully, she's not going to be re-elected again. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you, bottom of this second hour. You can listen coast to coast all around the nation.

You can also stream the radio program and watch the simulcast YouTube, Facebook, Channel 347 on DirecTV. And the. All of the news coming out of this attack on Israel. It's changing very, very quickly. You hear reports of potential.

Grand invasion of the Strip. You hear about the activity now in northern Israel towards the border with Lebanon, with Hezbollah. And there's so much coming out. And always, especially as we saw with the story of the hospital, and as it turned out, it was terrorists that blew up their own hospital, which wouldn't be the first time that they blew up something within their own territory, that the media ran with this wild story that it was the IDF that did it, which has then kicked off. Further destabilization, not just regionally, but now you saw protests in Greece.

And there were protests in London. You see it more and more at universities, and they are using this now, even though it's been disproven, as like the basis for their rioting or protests. I mean, with all of the truth that's out there, it's wild to me that some people struggle with grasping reality. And speaking of reality, what is reality like that? Like there?

Joel Rosenberg is a New York Times best-selling author with 5 million copies in print. He's also the founder and editor-in-chief of All-Israel News and All-Arab News. And he's host of the Rosenberg Report. He is, and I, because I think this is interesting to put it in context. He's, you know, he's a Middle East analyst, but he's also an evangelical leader who lives in Jerusalem with his wife and his sons.

And he is there now. He joins us on the phone because he's been with the IDF and he's seen the atrocity that has been taking place with these terrorist attacks firsthand. First off, Joel, thank you so much for joining us. And we're praying for, I mean, we're praying for Israel. We're praying for you over there and just hoping that, you know, maybe it would be nice if you just stopped being attacked for just long enough for you all to catch your breath.

But thank you for joining me. Oh, Dana, thank you so much for your prayers, for your encouragement. For your sympathy, we appreciate all of it. Your solidarity. It's been a while since I've been back on the show, but I'm very grateful.

It's too bad it's it's this. But like thi you know, the world has always said never again. But this is the worst massacre, savage, barbaric massacre of Jews. Since the Holocaust. There literally has been no other time in the last 75, 80 years.

Where so many Jews have been murdered in such a short period of time, and yet. for the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, uh CNN, MSNBC, BBC, like To take the word of butchers, of barbaric savages who are who are murdering babies in front of their mothers. Burning Jews alive in their homes. For them to take the word of Hamas operatives, terrorists. And put on the front page of the paper that we bombed some hospital.

It's lied. And what universe are we living in, Dana? Where reporters I mean, I understand media bias, I thought. But I I I I this is off the charts insane. I I I It's sickening.

I see that as Jew? as an evangelical as a human being. I mean it this is I and you know, the the the the truth, which we had three camera angles. Watching and showing it is a Palestinian terror rocket that malfunctions and falls in the hospital. We've got an intercept, an intercept, an audio intercept.

Praise God for the Israeli intelligence system that shows two Hamas operatives, and one is explaining to the other one: oh my gosh, it wasn't Israel, it was us. And the other guy's like, seriously? And yet. Uh like Yeah yeah. The ma the mainstream media They don't want to get it.

But why? Why does Israel get a double standard? There was conspiracy theorists After 9-11, oh, it's the CIA that blew it up. But nobody ran that story. Not on the front page of the New York Times.

Like what? This is 50 times worse than 9-11, what we're facing over here. Yeah. And clarify this too, Forrest. We're talking with Joel C.

Rosenberg. You can find him at that name on Twitter or XNow. Because the first, when I was reading, because the New York Times is very surreptitiously, you know, editing their story as the day unfolded and we got more and more confirmed information. And I mean, which this isn't the first time that Hamas or a terrorist entity has misfired a rocket. I mean, I think the percentage is like 40%.

450 times so far. Oh my gosh. That's insane. But when they were running these pieces, they were quoting the quote-unquote Palestinian health authority, which is Hamas, correct? Exactly.

Exactly. No, that's the thing. They're not even being good journalists and saying, listen, we're going to report to you what the Hamas terrorist organization that just butchered one thousand four hundred Israelis are telling us. Might not be true. But they shouldn't even do that.

Right. If you get a press release from Al-Qaeda, you don't run it. I mean, but but at least say, don't hide behind this idea that There's a pass in the health official, but The whole Gaza strip is run by Hamas. Let's be clear, Dana, and especially to your audience, pretty educated audience, but let's just make it clear. Israel hasn't occupied Gaza in almost 20 years.

We withdrew in 2005. Every Trinity soldier Every Israeli civilian was withdrawn from Gaza. The whole Gaza Strip was given to the Palestinian people. They have beachfront property. The option is that you left everything there.

Yeah, we know exactly, but there's also Brilliant of it. cubic feet of natural gas right off their coast, just like it is off of our coast. They could drill. They could be the richest. group of people happy, free.

We do not occupy them. But Hamas has turned it into a hellhole. And now they have butchered our sons and daughters, our grandparents, Holocaust survivors. I just was watching an interview. With an Israeli emergency services official.

These are the people that come in and clean up the dead bodies and remove them and bury them, okay? He's giving an interview just moments ago that I was watching it that he's saying, I walk into this living room or this dining room. The mother and the father, they're all shot dead execution style. They're on their knees, heads bowed, hands tied behind their back. Two children next to them.

He said fingers have been chopped off. Eyes have been gouged out. He goes on. Speakable torture. and then executed.

This has just happened and yet I Dana I'm I was sitting with the President of Israel just a couple days ago, covering this for all Israel news and my TBN show, The Rosenberg Report. Betsy Anderson the CNN anchor, After it Asks a question right after Israeli President Isaac Herzog just explained all these atrocities. And more more are being revealed every day. But and she accuses Israel of War crimes in Gaza. Don't you realize that as you try to move all these people south, moving a population, those are war crimes.

Aren't you? Aren't you sensitive to you know, what what do you say to the the accusations and he's like, Are you are you freaking serious? You're We're trying to get pop Innocent civilians out of harm's way. They gave us no warning when Hamas stormed in and butchered. Betty Anderson seeing it in your action.

Going to accuse us of war crimes? This is like walking into Auschwitz. And they've never put context for it with Joel Rosenberg, who lives in Israel with his wife and sons. And talk a little bit about the history of this because I was looking into all of the aid that has been given to Gaza. Because just to touch on the stories or the accusations that oh, Israel is denied them this or prevented that.

I mean, I know Israel sent aid regularly, like annually, sent aid annually. Also, there was money that was given to help with sewage infrastructure, to help with water infrastructure. And then, when Hamas was using the money to buy rockets and munitions, then actual pipes were sent. And then they turned the pipes into bombs. And I read one story, Joel, where there was members of the IDF that were looking at fragments of something that had exploded over Israel and they realized these are pipes.

Like these are actual water pipes. They had dug up water pipes from properties in Gaza, manufactured them into bombs, and then rockets and then sent them off over. Israel.

Well, no wonder they misfire all the time. Yes, this is exactly the case. And it's not annual. Israel.

On a weekly basis, sent just Convoys of 18 wheelers with food and medical supplies. I've I run a nonprofit Christian relief organization called the Joshua Fund. We've bought equipment, medical equipment, neonatal care equipment, whatever, for an Israeli hospital that's very close to the Gaza border. It's called Barzalai Hospital in Ashkelon. Gazan citizens who can't get good medical care in Gaza are allowed to come into Israel and we treat them.

Like But and yet I so I'm As bad as these savage butchers are, I mean, this is ISIS-like, this is Nazi-like Hamas terrorists. Yeah. I As hard as it is to deal with that and the emotion and the grief, Dana, that we're going through. But on top of that, for the world's media outlets, to Put us in a position that we are being painted as monsters. When we are defending ourselves from monsters, is the most It's the bizarro world, except it's not fiction.

I write political thrillers. Yeah, I'm a journalist too. But because I can't just write thrillers, but I make things up for a living. And I have never written anything as horrible I write Middle East political thrillers. often that have come true and I don't want them to.

I could never have even imagined something this bad. I have two quick questions for you in the time that we have remaining. Talking with Joel Rosenberg, you can find him on X Twitter, Joel C. Rosenberg. And you definitely should read some of his thrillers because they are quite captivating.

First question: Joel: Are you worried about a ground offensive? Because 300 miles of tunnels in Gaza, I know hostages are there, but it seems like Fallujah 2.0. Yeah, the War Cabinet is meeting in Israel right this moment, Dean, and live as we speak. And I don't know if they're going to make the decision tonight. It's been important for us to have President Biden here.

Set politics aside when an American president wants to help. This is a good thing. When the British Prime Minister wants to help, he was here today. That's a good thing. The German Chancellor was here this week.

So we've been doing we've been taking our time to get Palestinians out of the way. Innocent palace and civilians, and to build our case with the international community, but we are going in. And It's going to be hard. And the world is going to turn against us, and there's going to be UN Security Council resolutions against us. And the question is, will Biden stick?

I pray that he will. But he didn't stick with the Afghan government. And, you know, I that's a good point. That's a very good point. More important to him.

than than them, but you know, this this is a real issue. Last question for you, Joel Rosenberg, and you can find, again, he's got 5 million, all of his books, he's got 5 million out there in print. Not 5 million books, but 5 million sold. New York Times selling audio. I realized, I was like, I mean, you write a lot of stuff, but you don't write that much.

Are you concerned about the, because one of the things that we always hear is, you know, the northern Israel with Hezbollah and Lebanon at the border there. Is there a concern that this, because technically the way that I've seen it reported is that it's not technically a two-front war yet, but there is that possibility. What can you tell us about that?

Well, there is intense fighting going on up on that border. Hezbollah has already opened fire on us. We're trying to contain it and not let it blow up. But but I got to tell you, Dana, you just referenced my novels. One of the novels I did write It was two novels ago called The Beirut Protocol, and it's about what if that.

border erupts And it goes badly. It goes badly in the novel. It'll go badly in real life. I will just tell you this. I've got a column coming out tomorrow, Dana, on All Israel News.

It'll be the lead story. And that is, I think that Netanyahu was saying to to Biden yesterday. If if Hezbollah opens up a full-on missile war. I'm going to hit Tehran. I'm going to take out the nuclear site in Iran, and we're going to go after Khamani, because we're not going to fight a two-front war when it's really coming from Iran.

I I think Biden is doing everything he can to his credit to keep that war from opening. But moving two aircraft carriers into our area, that hasn't happened since the 1973 war. I think Biden might. side with BB and said and say yes We've got to take out the Iranian thing. It I That's what it looks like with that kind of firepower in the Mediterranean.

I'll tell you that. I know him. Yeah. Yeah. That's uh, well, I would love to talk with you more, Joel.

Uh, we definitely have to have you back. And hopefully, let me know. Yes, sir. Hopefully, it gets better from here, and we don't have anything worse to report on because I, as if it could get worse. I mean, it's I, you feel like the worst has already happened, and then yet, you know, then another day and another development.

It could get worse. Joel C. Rosenberg on X. Joel, we're praying for you all over there. God bless you.

Thank you. Thank you so much for putting facts out there. We'll talk again soon. Thanks. It's his life mission to make bad decisions.

Yeah. It's time for Florida Man.

Okay, so we got a villages story. Delicious A suspected shoplifter was arrested after several trips through the self-checkout lane at a Walmart in the villages. Wait, what? Yeah, it's Kaylee Ann Prop.

Now, she lives at, she's the, I don't, she's someone's sweetie in the villages because this chick is too young to be living in the villages. She's in her 20s. Uh anyway, she made four trips in September and October to the Walmart. in the villages, Sarasota Plaza, according to the arrest report from Sumner County. She was uh s they had got her on surveillance.

She was arrested on four counts of theft, but here's the thing, $4,000. But she like kept going back. Like she would go and steal and then She didn't leave. She would, that's how she got caught. She went back in.

Like, right, like leaves, and then is like, oh, I forget something. I'm gonna go steal something else and cut. Woo! What are you? Isn't the now?

I'm not. I am not an expert on shoplifting. I don't know anything about it, but I would just think that. you know you would want to get out when you're shoplifting you don't want to draw attention to yourself or stay there longer than you have to. She is not the well, she's got an ugly neck tat.

I don't dislike tats, but I dislike ugly ones on your neck. And so that, you know, explain she doesn't make the best choices. But I'm just saying.

So, tomorrow, uh, I'll tell you about a woman who stole her mother's car and then ran her right over. Yeah, that's you know, uh, Florida woman. They still sound saner than DC. Third hour on the way, stick with me. You were very blunt with the Israelis on the need to get humanitarian aid to Gaza, or what exactly?

On everything.

So we agree. No, I I was very blunt about the need to support getting humanitarian aid to Gaza. get it to Gaza and do it quickly.

Alright, I don't separate anymore to the hospital. May I ask you about there's a Okay, that's the president. That was on uh the Visiting Angels plane yesterday, Air Force One yesterday. taking questions from the press.

Somewhat. Did he answer them, do you think, to your liking, Kane? No. No. He sure didn't.

Mm-hmm. Yeah, me neither. Welcome back to the show. Top of this third hour. Daniel Lasher with you.

Listen Coast to Coast, stream the program as well. YouTube, Facebook, channel 347, Direct TV. Oh my gosh. Uh the Very Ah. Weird.

Remarks that he made. Like, I don't, I don't even like, what do we? The one where he said, oh, yeah, we've got a. Shoot straight. And then you've just like rambled and stared off into the distance at one point.

Can I just hear audio stand by three? Can I hear this again? I know we've, I just. Please let tonight, his address tonight at 8 p.m. Central, the White House from the Oval Office be better than this.

How about the hospital, sir? People all over the region are upset about the hospital and don't necessarily believe Uh You or the Israelis that they didn't have anything to do with it? Do you have a message to the people in the streets right now?

Well, I can understand why, in this circumstance, they wouldn't believe. I can understand that. And but uh I would not, you notice I know, say things like that. unless I have faith in the source from which I've gotten it. Our Defense Department says it's highly unlikely that it was rarely, but if it had a different footprint and They've intercepted some anyway, yeah.

And so that's why, if you notice, I didn't say it at first. I wanted to make sure that I knew. And look. And I'm not suggesting that Hamas deliberately did it either. That's that whole thing.

Is he like scra is he like scrunching down? I mean, there was point in the skin, right? But then on the other, the other dude, that looked like Kirby. That was Kirby. He's um Wee?

I'm just tho I just was noticing that.

So he's like, yeah, they gotta learn how to shoot straight. I'm not suggesting they deliberately. They gotta learn how to shoot straight.

Well,. Deliberately, you don't, they deliberately misfired a rocket. I think that whenever you have junk like that, you're deliberately doing something. I mean, come on. Come on.

His address tonight Uh He's going to be, it's going to be very, very scripted. I think that one of the reasons why they announced this morning that he's doing this address. Tonight is because all of his stuff yesterday was such a shambles. It was bad. I know that there are some people that are really wanting to have a hero in the White House right now because it looks like it's so crazy.

Everywhere else. But You He's, this is not, he's got, I, I, politics aside, this is bad. This is not the time that you need a bumbling. You know, guy who's looks like he's on the struggle bus, looks and sounds like he's on the struggle bus. You you need youth and vigor.

You got to have it. You got to have a war. You have to have a president who can pivot to being a wartime president, and that's not this guy. I'm not saying the US be at war, but when the when you have allies at war, There is peace through strength. And he is not.

projecting strength. He's not.

So the Media with this I hope he says I hope that he says something. about the media malpractice that went into the hospital stuff. Because it wasn't even the hospital. I want to make sure that it was the parking lot. Near the hospital.

It wasn't the hospital. The hospital was like not really hit. It was the hospital, it was the parking lot near the hospital. And didn't it happen in the middle of the night?

So why were why did you have Hamas propaganda showing all these bloody kid backpacks? If it happened and it hit a parking lot in the middle of the night. Anybody want to take a Guesstimate on that? I'm going to guess propaganda. I'm going to guess.

I'm gonna guess propaganda. Did you see the doctors that had this bizarro presser? after this happened. That the Hamas Television because it's all government-controlled over there that they put on, and you had these doctors with like these piles of children. Micah Ha what were all these kids doing in this parking lot in the middle of the night?

That's a good question. Because it didn't hit the hospital. It hit the parking lot that was near the hospital. It did not hit the hospital, it hit the parking lot. in the middle of the night.

There's footage, there's timestamp, there's geotracking, stop. I mean, I I'm not arguing with flat earthers on this. And they immediately came out and said five hundred debt. Yeah, they're like there are five hundred eleventy trillion dead. And then they were showing these like bloodied backpacks and everything.

I'm like, what the hell were all these kids doing out in the middle of the night at this parking lot? There seems something that's not right here. How dare you ask questions? You Zionist What does that even mean? Shut up You damn Nazi What does that even mean?

I just, you know, I gotta, I just, I've got questions. I got questions. You don't hate the media enough though. You don't. I mean, looking at this, the way that this, I was looking at some of these headlines.

Because you have American intelligence that already confirmed it. And this was even New York, I mean, the New York Times even had to come back and add that. By the way. That it was caused by a Hamas rocket that fell short, whether it was the Islamic Jihad or whether it was Hamas, it was a Hamas rocket that fell short. It was not in Israeli airspace.

It didn't originate from Israel. And it hit a parking lot, and the casualties are for why the hell were there 500 people crammed into this small parking lot? Anybody? I love the people who are like, oh, I don't believe the dead babies. Gonna need to see some dead babies.

before I believe those dead baby stories. Gonna need I'm gonna need to see some dead baby heads. I legit people were asking that. I don't know. I'm on an illegitimate.

And then they would show it out there. And then when the IDF, when Israel finally released it and our Intel confirmed it. You had people, I don't know, that could be AI. But then Hamas comes out and is like, oh, approximately 500 people. Same people, the dead babies the dead baby brigade.

We're out there like, oh no, this is crazy. You killed 500 people. They just went ahead and believed Hamas. There are people that believe the hospital was leveled. They still believe that to this very day.

The hospital that's still standing there that people are taking pictures of and uploading them to social media. Timestamp metadata? That very one. Oh, okay. Yep.

Huh. I mean, the hospital, the Wall Street Journal is like this hospital was decimated. That never happened. It hit a parking lot and it was in the middle of the night. How do you have 500 dead and all these kids' backpacks?

What the hell was happening to that parking lot? In the middle of the night. Mm-hmm. I mean, you had to read all the way down eight paragraphs into the New York Times story before you realize, oh, they can't support anything that they just said in their headline. Oh.

They can't they can't support any of it. Ah. They They they couldn't at all. And The What is it? The Palestinian Health Ministry is literally operated by Hamas.

That is true. And Hamas controls what everyone says. That is also true. I feel like people don't understand. The control that Hamas has on this area.

But Every they run everything. And we talked to Joel Rosenberg. He was exactly right. There was no occupation. in Gaza.

Israel does not have they have no occupation in Gaza. The Hamas runs everything. They had their elections. They decided after 2006 they didn't want to have any more. They had their elections.

They want everything. And they could be rich. They could be like drilling and extracting minerals, doing all kinds of stuff, and they choose to not do it. They could have used all this aid that they received to have their own water infrastructure, sewage, to do so much, and they choose to not do it. And then they demand that everyone else provide it to them for free.

like they were demanding Israel turn the water back on for free. Give us all this stuff for free. They act like they are in poverty because of Israel when they're in poverty because Hamas takes literally all of the resources and use them to go after and target Israel. It's in their charter that to not live peaceful existences. I've read that to you.

It's in my newsletter. You can access it.

So why aren't people pointing this out? When they're talking, that's why I tell you, I reject the whole notion of occupation. It is just not accurate. There's a lot of misinformation out there, including coming from some people who claim that they are on the right. But I want you to notice: these are people who are newly.

New figures on the right. They have not been there in the long haul. They were nowhere during the grassroot heavy lifting that made 2016 possible, by the way, during the Tea Party days. They have not been out there criticizing government overreach and the Patriot Act and everything else. They have not been out there.

They just decided they only just came into existence within the past like four to six years. And I've noticed that these are the same people that are pushing these notions that, well, not all, it's not, it's really Israel. They they go, Oh, well, you know Israel was on the brink of a civil war. Because of some of the judicial overhauls that were being done, there was a lot of discontent there. That's separate from this.

In fact, this attack galvanized Israel. Whatever whatever uh Factions that they had, and whatever disagreements that they had going on with some of the Legal, some of the judicial overhaul that was taking place and the fight over that. I mean, they are. Uh they're they're galvanized now. But that's irrelevant.

There's also this claim that, well, you know, Israel, Netanyahu created, you know, he funded Hamas. Everyone's taking that story out of context. There was this story that happened, this issue that happened several years ago when Hamas Qatar was pressuring. The Israeli government, because there had been like hostages, and there was another rocket, suicide, all that, it's the same old Hamas stuff. And Israel was trying to figure out a way to de-escalate the situation and just go along to get along.

And part of that was: well, if we give them X amount, then they'll go away. And that quote that Netanyahu had said has been taken and misrepresented six ways to Sunday by people who are insisting that Israel, Netanyahu, created and funded Hamas. Hamas is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood. Hamas is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood. It is why Egypt has its border close to Gaza.

They came out when they were driven essentially out of Egypt. The Muslim Brotherhood was banned as a party in Egypt for quite a long time. And I had people telling me, well, uh-oh, they had they were during the Arab uprising, they were there. Yeah, because Hillary Clinton. Made the extraordinary move of actually endorsing a Muslim Brotherhood candidate because it was best, it was for some reason, the Obama-Biden administration helped foment the Arab uprising.

And they created the destabilization in Libya. They also created the destabilization in Egypt because they got in. They also created the destabilization. What was it? Was.

One of the South American countries where they backed the dictator. And they were, you want to talk about nation building and psyops and destabilizing order? That was the Obama Biden administration. And Hillary Clinton, as Secretary of State, endorsed the Muslim Brotherhood candidate, the group that had been ostracized and actually prohibited from being involved in Egyptian politics, went in and backed that dude. Go look it up.

So, very briefly, they were back in each.

Now they're made again.

So, that doesn't hold water either. They are an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood. And it is because. the that they foment Chaos and they sow disorder, and they actually, you know, even carry out violence against other Arab leaders within these other countries that they are not welcome in Jordan. That's why nobody wants to take them in.

And that's why all of these other Arab nations have closed their doors to any refugees coming out of Gaza because their argument is that. You have simmered in this mindset for so long. You are bringing these principles into our country. We do not want this destabilization here. That is their mindset.

So, all the people that are pushing these narratives to you. You just ignore them because it's not based in fact. And feel free to go. I always tell you: don't trust anyone and don't even take my word for it. Do the legwork yourself.

If you disagree with something that I've said, by all means, try to prove me wrong on it. I'm not like other commentators out there. I don't go on air and talk about something that someone gives me a one-sheet for. I do it myself.

So This there's a lot of bad info. A lot of bad info and a lot of bad actors out there. And some of them, sadly, are on the right. Speaking of the right. We're going to talk about some of the latest with the house development.

I'm so done. You had 200 Americans brought home from Israel on DeSantis Airlines, too. We got that. And now, all of the news you would probably miss, it's time for Dana's Quick Five.

Okay, so Ah, come. I don't. Do I really? This is an EasyJet headline. Easy Jet.

Their flight was canceled because. of a defecation incident. This was actually, instead of the spaghetti incident, it was the actual defecation incident. Fur, you didn't know that, did you? I'm joking.

No, not this story. An EasyJet flight was canceled because somebody. head went to the bathroom on the airplane bathroom floor. It was Sunday evening. They were going to London and it had already been delayed.

A passenger on board said the flight had ran into trouble pre-departure. They were switched out for a smaller aircraft, meaning people were turned away aborting. People who made it on board two hours after then had to wait for more than an hour while bags were offloaded. And then somebody had the unfortunate accident on the bathroom floor. And then that put everybody literally back by a whole day because they had to take everybody off.

It was apparently very bad. Oh my gosh. Let's see. Also, the It's getting expensive to have fun. Prices for concert tickets and amusement park, all of that have ballooned because, yeah, Biden inflation.

What did people honestly think was going to happen? Stick with us. We got a lot more in store, the latest with the house. Looking for the drive-thru version of The Dana Show? Check out the best highlights from every show in Dana's Absurd Truth podcast, posted daily from The Dana Show.

The President pledged $100 million in an aid package to Palestinian civilians, innocent civilians in Gaza and the West Bank. How is the United States going to ensure? that none of that ends up in the hands of Hamas.

Well, as you know, this was a primary focus of the President's diplomacy yesterday, both in Israel, where he met with the entire Israeli security establishment, but also in his phone conversations with regional leaders, including President al-Sisi of Egypt. Getting assistance into Gaza is a complicated undertaking. It involves essentially securing an understanding among Hamas fighters who control the checkpoint on the other side of the border, among the government of Israel, and among the government of Egypt. And the agreement the President secured will enable these trucks to flow as soon as the roadway can be repaired. But the President was also quite clear that if this assistance goes in, it cannot be misappropriated.

It cannot be taken by Hamas fighters for their own purposes. And so we're going to be watching that very closely. It has to get to Palestinian civilians who need it. He didn't answer the question. He's like, Well, you know, it's gotta get to She but he didn't answer the question.

She's like, How do you well, because you know, we're gonna watch it closely. Like you did with Afghanistan? Yeah. Want to watch it closely, like there? Just curious.

Welcome back to the program Dana Last year with you. Bottom of this third hour. How are they going to get because you know that they stole UN aid. They've stolen all I mean, they're they it's a guaranteed not going to get to people. They take everything first, and they leave nothing for anybody else.

I I I Well the the President is set to speak tonight at 8 p.m. Central. Uh We'll see. I do believe though. Even though Uh Previously, Biden, and particularly with Valerie Jarrett under Obama, Biden.

There was always this uh Iran adjacency. this this this catering to the Iranian agenda. And I don't know that I see that. continuing, although there has been a little confusion because at first know, Biden intimated the White House has intimated that they would stand with Israel if Iran got involved and then they're like, Oh, well, they're on their own. We'll see.

But I it it's to have two carrier strike groups like that in the Mediterranean and uh another uh uh larger vessel. It's not part of the C S G, but That was going out there as well. That's a lot of firepower in that area. That is a definite show of force. Uh Prevent.

bad actors from further uh i i magnifying this chaos. But Who knows? A lot could happen between now and tonight when he speaks. I mean, who knows?

So we will definitely recap and break that down for you tomorrow.

So as it relates to the House, because nobody can do anything in the House because of all this.

So McHenry, who is the speaker pro tem, He's apparently rejecting the idea of a resolution. That Would grant him a few, a little bit more leeway as interim house speaker. Again, You can try to empower him more, but there is a max that you can power up that dude right before he hits the ceiling. Because he's the temp. There's still certain things that he's not able to do.

McHenry says that he's still working to elect Jordan as Speaker. That was two hours ago.

So That's Jordan says that he would temporarily that he would support empowering McHenry to an extent, but Again, that's even limited what his powers would be, not much more than what he can do now. And in the meantime, Democrats support Hakeem Jeffries, who said his caucus would work with interim Speaker McHenry.

So, this is all it's a mess. It's all the latest. You know, it's just a mess. I mean, it's. Um This is what happens when you run into this without any kind of a backup plan.

without any way to at all whatsoever. Have some sort of Have any kind of backup, have any kind of substitute, have anything. And I don't know. They're frozen. They can't do anything.

Gates had apparently blasted the plan. To empower McHenry. He had said that he was against Speaker Light. I'm against Bud Light. He says it's a constitutional desecration to not elect a speaker.

Well, Leroy Jenkins, you should have thought about that before you decided to file a motion to vacate. Because you filed a motion to vacate without having at all any kind of plan, which I find embarrassing. And I don't know, I get that he is very. Eager to point the sharp end of the stick towards people who are criticizing his motion to vacate. And he's mudding the waters because he refuses to recognize the difference between the timing and the action.

No one's against, fine, you're going to take McCarthy out? Nobody gives a rat's ass, take him out then. But I mean, you know, politically. But when you're doing it now without any strategy. You have no plan, that's what people are mad about.

So stop acting like people who are rightfully and legitimately criticizing you just going into this half-cocked without having thought about it beforehand. Stop criticizing people who are making legitimate points about that. That is absolutely true. How are you a good leader if you have if you go into something to blow it up and you have no backup plan? Again, it's like Leroy Jenkins.

It's like the scene from Ghostbusters. Get her! That's your plan? Get her? Have something after.

So he said he's going to do everything possible to stop it.

So he would be against Jordan, the guy he said he wanted, then at the, I don't know. It's also stupid. I don't think that this is about integrity. I think for Gates, I do think that for Gates, it was personal. I don't care about their fights.

I don't care enough about any of these people to dive into why they personally dislike someone or not. I don't care. I really don't care. I don't care if Bigfoot is speaker at this point, so long as he doesn't increase my taxes. I don't care.

This is all so dumb. Because now Republicans are MIA on an issue that they are the strongest on. They are the strongest on this issue and their MIA. Because of this. The one thing that we control in DC.

So he says he's against it. And he would fight I mean, he it's he started it, so it's kind of ironic that he would be against it. But, you know, it is what it is. We'll see. But I I at this point, they don't know what they're gonna do.

Now, some had said, no, McCarthy actually started it. He made an agreement that he didn't, he didn't make an agreement that he didn't have any intention of following through on. You can't accuse McCarthy of doing the thing that you also did in order to get McCarthy out. We don't do this. Stop.

I'm just so tired of it. I'm so tired of the Uni Party stuff. Don't vote for Democrats. That's the Uniparty, or with Democrats. That's the Uni Party.

Again, I don't care who's speaker. I don't think you all do either. Everybody's broke. The Middle East is burning. It's causing other regional destabilization.

You have your legacy press gaslighting you, trying to get you into war. And these guys are slap fighting it out in D.C. I hate. Loathe every single one of these people. I don't like a single one of them.

So I don't get the citizens who turn on each other because their favorite Republican politician is arguing with another Republican politician. I do not like politicians more than I like the everyday people. I'm not going to get angry at a regular everyday person more than I'm going to be angry at a politician. That's just how I look at it. I just don't like to get this backwards and I like to remember the whole order of things.

Now In the meantime, while they're MIA on their strongest issue, We're still trying to figure out, well, we got hostages over there. You had the DeSantis flight bring another 200 Americans over. Adam Kinzinger was very upset over that, still is. you have the ongoing rioting and protesting. Elsewhere.

And then by the way, meanwhile at our own border, right, Scrape had those. Two Iranian terrorists were arrested over a significant security threat. Griff Jenkins reported that Customs and Border Patrol. confirmed two Iranian terrorists were arrested at the southern border. And according to the report, these Iranians were in the terrorist screening database and they raised red flags that they could pose a significant security threat.

So Customs and Border Patrol sources confirmed two known instances. apprehended at the border.

So How many others made it through? How many other terrorists have made it through, or known security risks have made it through? I've got some questions on that. I mean, I I really don't want to experience anything here domestically. There I mean, we know what is it?

We've had how many just per day? I mean, there have been like thousands per day that have been coming across, but at least two. Known They told that to Griff Jenkins, who's with Fox. He's at the border, giving Bill Malugin a little bit of a break, who I think has lived there under a bridge for who knows how long. That's I'm telling you, it is uh That I Is a major problem, major problem.

I wanted to play this audio soundbite for you as well. This is audio soundbite 18. This is one of my favorite sound bites. Let me set this up.

So you have this Canadian conservative. whose party is challenging the Trudeau Socialists. And he has casually smacked down You know, he's talking to this like far left journalist who's trying to ask him questions and trying to do this journalist sucks, by the way. It's the worst journalist ever. He can't ask this guy a question because the guy's name is Pierre Poliver.

And Polavera apparently really does intimidate this journalist. This journalist. You can hear the nervousness in his voice as he tries to ask this question. But this Pierre Polyver is just munching on an apple.

Well, this journalist, this is how everything. Should be handled. This polyverse guy is a whole mood. Watch this and listen if you're not watching the simulcast. On the topic, I mean, in terms of your sort of strategy currently, you're obviously taking the populist pathway.

What does that mean?

Well, ap appealing appealing to people's uh more emotional levels, I would guess. Um I mean certainly certainly you certainly you tap certainly you tap uh very strong ideological language quite frequently. Like what? Left wing, you know, this and that, right-wing. I mean, it's that type of ideological stuff.

I never read talk about left or right. Anyways, a lot of people. I don't really believe in that.

Okay. A lot of people would say that you're simply taking a page out of the Donald Trump. Like which people would say that.

Well, I'm sure of a great many Canadians, but they're cool. I don't know who, but.

Well, you're the one who asked the question, so you must know somebody.

Okay. I'm sure there's some out there, but, anyways, the point of this question is: I mean, why should Canadians trust you with their vote, given You know, not just the sort of ideological inclination in terms of taking the page of Donald Trump's book, but I'm thinking about what page? What page? Can you give me the page? Give me the page.

You keep saying that. In terms of turning things quite dramatically in terms of Trudeau and the left wing and all of this, I mean, you make quite a, you know, it's quite a play that you make on it.

So I'm sure. I'm not sure. I don't know what you're questioning.

Okay. Then forget that. Why should Canadians. Trust you with their vote. There's a question.

Common sense. Common sense for a change. We're going to make common sense common in this country. We don't have to. You know what false hot and accessory is?

The hot the the it accessory for fall of 2023 is an apple. This guy is hysterical. I love it, and I love the way his voice sounds. It's almost like a sitcom. That was like a sitcom.

There's just certain things that happen so organically, so perfectly, that. And that's one of them.

So, this guy up here, and I'm sure I'm butchering his name: Polivier. Oh, Polivre. Uh he You can hear him eat the apple. You can hear him take a bite, and he's like, hmm, yeah, which ones? Hmm?

Yeah. Yeah, I don't believe any of that. I don't believe in that. And then the reporter's like, oh, okay, well, just forget that then.

So here's my basic question. Gosh, that di that is a whole mood. But that's the hot new accessory for fall 2023. an apple. I want to know what kind of apple that was.

It looked like a good apple. Golly, that was so great. Save this for forever. I just, because there's so many clips I just want to take out and just, yeah, like what people? What page?

Can you give me the page? So great. That's the most aggressive Canadian I've ever seen. You know? That's, I mean, that's the most aggressive.

Is it? Because I don't, even when they're like fighting with truck convoy, they're still kind of polite in a way, even when they're trying to take away people's rights. They were they're they're not it's funny. Whether you're a policy wonk, a news junkie, or simply someone hungry for insightful discourse, the Dana Show Podcast has your back. Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Joe Biden just announced $100 million of your taxpayer dollars going to the Gaza Strip. They say it's humanitarian assistance. We know Hamas is going to commandeer that money, and Hamas is going to use it to advance terrorism. I say no U.S. tax dollars to the Gaza Strip.

We still have hostages being held by Hamas. There are American hostages being held by Hamas. How are you funding them when they're holding Americans as well as others hostage? I challenge every Republican running, step up to the plate, join me in opposing Biden's $100 million gift to Hamas. Good.

I hope they do. I hope everybody does. Everybody should I hope the President talks more about this tonight. This is a serious issue. I've heard so much about this from all of you out there.

Because There is not there is And I went back and I was looking at Whenever aid has been sent resources, I mean, there is not a single example of this. Any kind of aid being handed over to Gaza that Hamas doesn't get its hands on and take? and takes. It's every bit.

So, this is just funding. It's just funding this. And no one has any responsibility to do this. Hamas had a responsibility to its citizens. For everyone who is complaining that, well, Israel needs to turn this on or do this.

You know, that's Hamas's responsibility to do this for its citizenry. It's not anyone else's responsibility. You know, Hamas is the governing authority. Why haven't they done their job, by their people? By the people that they were elected to represent and serve.

Why haven't they done it? you know, for water, for sewage, for food, for anything. I mean, how they've been in power over there, themselves running. There's no occupation since 2005. They.

They had elections in 2006. They won.

So why is it everyone else Why is it the responsibility of everyone else? Why? I got questions. So we will see on that.

Now, tomorrow we'll follow the house stuff. Kevin McCarthy and apparently Matt Gates got into a screaming fight. I'm done with both of them right now. Every single time one of them gets in front of a reporter, they badmouth the other one, and I'm just so done. I'm so done with all of them.

I'm so done with both of these guys and their slap fights.

So apparently they're screaming matches now.

Now they're talking about it to the press. All right, today's stupidity came. All right, it's Biden's State Department spokesman Matt Miller. He is out there talking about this very $100 million aid package going to Gaza. And this apparently is the official government position on this.

I think the concern the Israeli government has, and they've said this publicly and they certainly said it privately to us, is that any assistance that goes in will be diverted once it's inside Gaza. That there's not an Israeli military force in Gaza. There's not a UN peacekeeping force in Gaza. The people with guns inside Gaza are Hamas. And so Hamas may try to divert this assistance and keep it from getting to the civilians who it is.

Yeah, that's what's going to happen. That's what it is. We think that's a legitimate concern. We've made clear that this aid needs to go to innocent civilians and not Hamas. We're going to be watching very carefully.

Well, I feel better. Do you? Feel better? Yeah, no, not at all. Folks, we will watch the president's address tonight.

We'll recap it. I'll send out a newsletter for you, subscribers, over at Substack. Have a great night. I'm back with you tomorrow.
