Black Rifle coffee. I'm gonna actually need more coffee. Not me, not need more beans. I'm gonna need like another cup of coffee. I don't know what I had.

This morning, but I think it like put hair on my chest. It was so caffeinated. I think it was one of the hardcore roasts. They have really good blends, really good roasts over at Black Rifle Coffee. It is the coffee that I love, and it's the coffee I have every single day.

I got to be careful with my caffeine intake. I don't know if you've noticed, but I'm a little wired. Mostly, it's just naturally.

So, I got to be careful with how much caffeine I have. Black Rifle Coffee, they have the best coffee out there. They also have ready-to-drink coffees if you're in a rush or if you're on the go. And here's the cool thing about the ready-to-drink coffee: every purchase you make of it, they're raising a million dollars to benefit veterans through the boot campaign. The boot campaign is one of the most renowned veteran-focused nonprofits in the nation.

They have all of these individualized programs that treat the root causes. Of the invisible wounds of war. Everybody knows somebody who's gone and has fought in combat, served their country, and these guys deal with a lot when they come back. You got post-traumatic stress, traumatic brain injury, chronic pain, self-medication, insomnia. And so the boot campaign is designed to show gratitude to our nation's vets and provide this very customized care to treat these.

And they're very successful at it. And of course, Black Rifle Coffee is proud to partner with them, a veteran-owned coffee company that employs veterans and active duty. And so every can of that ready-to-drink coffee you buy goes to that million-dollar donation to the boot campaign. You can order online, you can purchase it as part of the coffee club. The coffee club is awesome because you choose your roast frequency of shipment and it's put right on your doorstep.

Free shipping, you never run out. Black Rifle Coffee is committed to serving the veteran community. With your help, we can all continue to make a difference. Let's raise a can together, keep fueling Americans for a good cause. Visit blackriflecoffee.com/slash Dana.

Fuel your caffeine fix while making a huge difference in the lives of vets and their families. It's blackriflecoffee.com/slash Dana. And so today, I am proud to announce the Biden Harris administration will develop our nation's first national strategy to counter Islamophobia. This strategy will be a comprehensive and detailed plan. To protect Muslims and those perceived to be Muslim, from hate, bigotry and violence, and to address the concern that some government policies may discriminate against Muslims.

For example, the so-called Muslim ban, which President Biden revoked on our first day in office. Yeah.

So here's the bottom line. In America No one should be made to fight hate alone. And in this moment then, Let us all clearly say A harm against any one of us? is a harm against all of us. Did she mistake?

Islamophobia for Anti-Semitism. Because I know she struggles with words normally.

So this is why I ask this. You know, I'm trying to be generous with my r my reasoning here. which might be a fool's errand. But Did does she I mean, what the hell is she talking about? Uh because this is I mean, we we haven't seen We haven't seen an increase.

In attacks on Muslims, but we sure as hell have seen an increase. on attacks. Uh against Jewish Americans. I mean, just this is just an America. I'm not even talking about worldwide.

Welcome to the show. Dana Lasher with you. That's what we're going to start with today because they announced this initiative. And I have a lot of questions, as I'm sure you all do. I was reading it.

They were alluding to it in the press in the press release. Uh Corrine Jean-Pierre, they had been alluding to it prior. And she had taken questions on it. I think it was just what the other day. And The I just don't get it.

I mean, I don't I don't get it. Why we don't we don't need anything like that? Because we don't the issue isn't with Th why can't the why can't Jewish people just, you know, Why do you have to sit here and tack Islamophobia onto it? Is that a way to excuse? Is it a way to Excuse thee.

Uh Or the I I'm just trying to figure out. Why do it like that? Any ideas, Kane? Why? I suspect they're scared.

Of what? Of the beheadings? That by well, you know what? I have a I have a theory. Where's this at?

Let me pull this up. Um I I do I do have a theory. Uh my theory. Let me pull this up. Bear with me because I wasn't going to actually.

I was actually waiting to the bottom of the sour and I was going to dive into this. This new survey about Biden and Muslim Americans.

So the story that came out. Is that he's apparently losing support? With the Arab community. I don't know if you saw this.

So this was one of the headlines. They said that. He is actually losing.

some support. That they're hemorrhaging it. And they're, I think it maybe go, which is like 2%. of the population Stunning drop in Arab American support. This is what Time magazine reported.

I included this. If you get the email newsletter, you get this in your prep. But this is what they had in there. They were saying that. The Here Israel's the one that's attacked.

And Arab Americans are slamming Biden. This is like, this is what time is saying. They said that in the U.S., And I don't say the word Palestinian because it's a made up ethnicity and a made up people. And I don't just as I don't believe in cutting off a man's schlong makes him a woman, I don't believe in conjuring an entire i a race out of the ether.

So, you have people who live who are sympathetic to West Bank and Gaza territories, and Arab Americans have expressed outrage over this is Time magazine, over Biden's response to Israel's bombardment of Gaza. You know, Israel was just sitting there on its ass and decided that they were just going to start bombing Gaza for no reason. Let's forget everything that led up to this, okay? And so. It's the first national poll of Arab Americans since they go to the war in Gaza.

Time is absolute trash. Could I just read Time magazine is absolute, I mean, if Hitler ran a publication, national poll of Arab Americans since the war in Gaza, since Hamas decided to launch an attack on Israel, and it shows how deep the sense of betrayal goes. What betrayal? Only 17% of Arab Americans voting said they'll vote for, but who cares? A staggering drop from 59% in 2020.

Why? Because he doesn't go out there and say Heil Hitler. Is that why? I'm done. I'm done, I'm done, I'm done.

Let me do something. Let me do something very unusual. Let's pause this right now. I feel like I gotta fill everybody's gas tank for a moment. Before we continue.

And let me explain. I had a uh an event that I was at at dinner with Patriot Mobile last night. And I gotta be honest with you, and maybe you can tell.

Some days this news cycle really grinds on you. When you live this day in and day out, and you see this day in and day out, and you hear from people all over the country what they are experiencing, whether they're Jewish students or Jewish families, and when you see this day in and day out. And this is after 10 years of doing this day in and day out. It it is And I'm a little bit different in that I don't I'm not a commentator that has people write all my stuff and do all my research and do all the work for me and I show up and I look pretty and I smile at the camera and I just repeat everything I'm given. That's about 80% of people in television and radio.

We are not those people. And I got my start in street activism, literally. And After a decade, it really wears on you. And I like to joke: Mark Levin is a friend, and Glenn Beck is a friend, and I was actually talking to Glenn last night. And I'm like, I love not leaving my house.

I love not going to DC. I can't tell you how many invitations I turned down from this or that. People have said, we would like to give you an award. And I'm like, for what? And I stay home.

I'm like, I don't need an award. Go spend your time or your money on something a little bit more productive. I don't need anything. And I literally have to be coaxed, and Kane can attest to this, coaxed out of my out of my hobbit hole. Because the longer you're in it and the longer you're exposed to this stuff, it does the news cycle becomes a grind.

And You really take, and this is why I think that live radio and live television are very important because you can feel the audience out there, and you really get a lot of encouragement from the audience, and you get a lot of energy from the audience. And you guys out there may not, you know, you may not feel that, you may not think that, but I assure you that it is true because some days I just want to rage at the world, but you guys are like the people that I vent to, and so we have a good relationship, you know, and I appreciate you guys.

So I was having this conversation. I was joking with Glenn about this because Mark and I are pretty much the same. Like, we will not leave our hidey hole. And Glenn is just a little bit better. And I was thinking about this and I'm like, you know.

You can look at this time. In history. One of two ways. And I'm a cynic, so it's very difficult for me. You could look at it one of two ways.

You can look at it like. Wow, can you believe how insane everything is? This is nuts. Can you believe The stuff that we're seeing on college campuses? Can you believe the stuff that we are seeing in the Middle East?

Can you believe the stuff that we're seeing at the border? Can you believe the stuff? That we are seeing, whether it's in our economy or whether it's just lawlessness or whether it's just evil that goes unpunished in this world, it is horrible. Ev and inflation and wage growth and all that just can't keep up. It's bad.

And it grinds on you. It really does. It grinds on you to the point. where you are resentful of the petty stuff. Like I I saw an argument about people in the presidential primary and the Republican side arguing about boots.

And I hate everybody. I hate all the people involved in that conversation, every damn one of them, because I'm like, you're sucking up airtime from more serious. There are people dying halfway across the world, and y'all are bitching about boots. Shut up You pathetic people. And I get very, it makes me even, you see, it's a cycle.

It makes you even more cynical. and meaner and I have a short fuse anyway. I have no tolerance.

Some people say I'm cold. I'm not, I'm just very logical. And you just you feel like your tank is empty. I want to show you two videos. And this is going to seem weird.

Like I said, I'm changing it up. The first video, who was this? This was some musician in Texas. And he, you know, some people travel, some people work. Halloween night.

I think it's a great time for door-to-door evangelism. Don't send me your emails about it. But, you know, he had a bucket of candy out and said, take one piece of candy, please. One piece of candy per kid. Because he at home, he's working.

And these people came up and this mom loaded up these kids' candy bags. looking right at the damn camera. They just, I mean, it was like a welfare free-for-all. Loading handfuls, handfuls. They're just, you know.

Loading up their bags. If you're watching the simulcast, Channel 347, Direct TV, YouTube, Facebook, Juan showing it to you. If you're listening to the radio show across the country, you can hear some of it there. Just they emptied this whole container. Emptied the whole container.

Now I watch this. I saw this video yesterday. At probably the most cynical point of my day, And I'm looking at it. And I'm like, you gotta be kidding me. Everything's horrible.

Everything just sucks. And it just feeds into the cycle, right? It feeds into it. You're just like, everything's horrible. Look at how horrible people are.

People are horrible. And then you're like, what's, you know? What's the purpose? Let's just let the world go to hell in a handbasket. Bring on Smod.

I want to show you another video that probably won't get as many views. Because this is the one that made me stop. I don't know where this is. It's not the porch of a famous singer. They don't have big old grand columns on their porch, but they did have a little one of those little doorbell cameras.

Same situation. You know, the person was out. They were working, doing whatever. And they had a bowl of candy. And it said one piece, and it was gone predictably.

And the kids they show up and they look at it and it's empty. And what do they do? They're like, there's no candy. And this one little boy with his little plastic sword goes up and he looks and he's like, I'm gonna fix it. He puts his sword down.

and he empties his bucket of candy. Into this bowl of candy. And the little girl comes up and starts doing the same thing. And then the other little girl who's dressed up as Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas and has my heart. She does the same thing.

And they're like, okay. And they load it in there. And then one kid takes one little piece of candy bag. It's like, I love it. Oh my gosh, I love it.

Shakespeare said, which was popularized further in modern times by Willy Wonka.

So shines a good deed in a weary world And I saw that video, I think, right about the time I was supposed to see that video, right when I was on the cusp of just like, bring on Smod. I will go in my front yard and I'll have a glass of whiskey. A drama of whiskey, and I will drink my whiskey and laugh as I watch the flaming fireball of molten rage hurtle towards earth and end us all. And I was right at that moment. When I saw this video.

I'm like, well, there goes ruins my Heather's moment. Gosh But it was You know, there's there's There's good in the world still. And as I said, as I started this, I said there's one or two ways to look at the time we're in. Just like there's one of two ways to approach the empty candy bowl. on the neighbour's port.

You can fill it. You can take from it. And I was thinking about this. I'm like, okay, yeah, it sucks. Everything's horrible right now.

Inflation. You know, the economy. Are we going to World War III? I don't know. Seems like all the people who tell us that we're in biblical times seem awful close to the truth right now, maybe more than ever.

But If not us, then who, and if not now, then when for a time for people such as this. I don't think that we are all put on this earth in this particular time period. for just chance. I don't bu I don't believe in that. I think that there's a reason why we're all here.

And instead of looking at it as a burden, maybe we should look at it as a privilege. And maybe we should look at it like, well, there's something about all of us. That maybe God was like, yeah, these people can handle it. Let's put them here. These people got it.

They can get through this. I mean Nobody's perfect. And perfection isn't required to do great things. David shows you that. I mean, good grief, look at the lineage Jesus came from.

So I was just thinking about this.

Well, you know. You're equipping the call. Maybe there's a, maybe instead of looking at it like such a burden, it's a privilege. To live in such a time where we have so much opportunity. to reverse so many things.

So maybe, just maybe. I'll let my cynicism just ebb a little bit. And maybe look at it like that, even if it's just for today. New film that is out. Uh and it's from the people who brought you the chosen.

And it's Angel Studios, and it's the Sound of Freedom and the Chosen. and uh Angel Studios.

Sorry for the short headlines. Stick with us. But people need, honestly, if you're going to talk about helping any university, Hillsdale College doesn't get any federal funding. In fact, Hillsdale College rejects federal funding. They are anti-federal funding.

They don't accept any of it. This is they're a small Christian classical liberal arts college in southern Michigan. And the only thing that they care about. are merit and character. They don't care about color, sex, any of that stuff.

But right now, today Thirty-seven percent of active duty families are likely to recommend s military service. They see what's going on today.

And I've heard my colleagues say, We shouldn't be injecting politics into the military. And that President Biden did that. And Lloyd Austin, Secretary of Defense, did that. But what are we doing to these military men and women? Politics are being injected right here, today.

We have men and women that deserve to be promoted. to serve where their country knows they are needed. And our military families today are saying, you know what? I don't want my kid serving in the military. because they will be used as political pawns.

Oh, who's doing that? That is That's uh Senator Joni Ernst. Out of Iowa. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you.

So let me tell you what this is about because let's we're it's time for W w we gotta take some people to task here.

So this is the Senate. Trying to go after Tubberville, Tommy Tubberville, because Senator Tommy Tuberville has been protesting against the Democrats' insistence. That the Pentagon use U.S. Our Taxpayer dollars to subsidize. Service members abortion on demand as birth control.

Now, that phrase, as I described it, is entirely 1,0110% accurate. And he's saying that, no, we're not doing this. This is not what this is for. And Tuberville is, he's absolutely correct. If you're going to plant your flag on any kind of hill, this is one to plant it on.

And so now Democrats have been massaging their surrogates in the media. and leading this fight against Tuberville for this. And so now you got these weak Republicans that are bending the knee on the Senate floor and joining Democrats in attacking Tommy Tuberville. It is shameful. Absolutely shameful to see Republicans, including People like Senator Joni Ernst, who is she was going off on Tuberville on the floor in that speech.

She's been on this program. I've always been, you know, pretty. I've never really had anything bad to say about her. But to see Republicans like her, and there are others, oh, we'll get to them. do more to protect Democrats who politicized the military.

than to protect one of their own who is fighting it. That is something else to behold. These weak Republicans would rather spend our hard-earned dollars, our tax dollars, on abortion. as birth control subsidize it because they're too afraid to fight. Shame on them.

And it didn't it wasn't just her, as you can imagine. You had everybody. You had Lindsey Graham fumed at Tubberville on the Senate floor. He went off on him. He said that Tubberville, you just went out off on him and said, you just denied this lady a promotion.

Yeah, listen to this. This is Lindsey Graham doing the same thing. Audio Sun by 16. Let me respond to my colleague respectfully. And we have courts.

If you think they've done something illegal, go to court. That's how you handle these things. The Pentagon has issued a legal opinion I disagree with saying this doesn't violate the Hyde Amendment. I disagree with it. Here's what's going to happen.

You just denied this lady A promotion. You did. You didn't do that. All of us are ready to promote her because she deserves to be promoted. I would love to ask people like Lindsey Graham and Joni Ernst this question.

Because apparently no one in our media is going to do it. Have we ever had a problem? With these sorts of bills, these appropriations, these promotions before. I mean, it's rhetorical because the answer is no. We haven't had a problem with them before.

These all have always been passed. with a bipartisan consensus. They haven't fought over it. They haven't been held up. And there's a reason, a very clear reason as to why.

It is only now after Democrats decide to insert the poison pill, a taxpayer-funded abortion on demand as birth control. And again, that's exactly what this is. To subsidize that on behalf of an already broke taxpayer. To give that money to the government, a government that says it has enough money to fight two wars.

Well, hell, if you've got enough money to fight two wars, then we got too many damn taxes. Democrats chose to politicize this by insisting upon the inclusion. of the taxpayer subsidi subsidization of abortion. Democrats insisted on this. That is the reason why we have this historical holdup.

We haven't had a problem with it before. But that's because Democrats have chosen not to play around. with military funding and promotions like that before. this extent. Tommy Tuberville is just doing what voters sent Tommy Tuberville there to do.

to stand against this. That Lindsey Graham is weak isn't Tuberville's fault. That Joni Ernst is weak. Isn't Tupperville's fault. Nor is it the fault of the taxpayers across the country.

It is not our fault. That people like Lindsey Graham and Joni Ernst and these other senators that have been assailing. Tubberville. for his corrupt fiscally responsible stance. It is not the vote it's not our the voters' responsibility.

To pick up for the lack of a spine for these people, you were sent there to fight against this. not to cave because you're terrified of the Democrats and their press. It's just disgusting to see this. They all ganged up on him on the Senate floor, all of them. All, I mean, well, not all of them, but most of them.

Oh, there's that you had everybody from Dan Sullivan. They were all trying to seek unanimous consent to confirm all the various nominees whose credentials they laid out their credentials. They were arguing them on the floor. Mitt Romney rose to say that he's concerned about military readiness. Did Mitt Romney stand and tell Democrats that he was concerned that they were imperiling military readiness when they insisted on attaching this?

'Cause I don't seem to recall that. Todd Young out of Indiana. Were they all frustrated Dan Sullivan out of uh Alaska, he said he was frustrated with Tubberville's object objections. Was he frustrated when Democrats decided to marry This military this appropriation with this subsidy of taxpayer of of uh abortion on demand as birth control? Because I'm just coming up blank, guys, with all of my resources and all of the services that we have.

I'm just coming up blank when it comes to all the video and audio that I would gather for this to showcase, to bring you a more balanced perspective on it. It's just not there. It is pretty stunning. Oh yeah, sound by 17 Sullivan. He went at Tuberville on the Senate floor.

Listen to this. And look, what Senator Tuberville said about the policy in Austin and Biden on this abortion policy, I fully agree with them. We should be suing to stop it. I think it's illegal. Um And he's also right, everybody uses holds.

I certainly use holds. But the key is you put a hold on someone who typically has some kind of control over the issue that you're trying to fix.

Some kind of responsibility. One of the things I've been talking to the Senator from Alabama on is, all right, let's put a hold on the Under Secretary of Defense for policy. He's the guy. He's a civilian and he's in charge of this policy dispute. Let's put a hold on him.

That's the right guy. and squeeze them. But why are we putting holes on war heroes? I'm going to get the warnings. They're not putting holes on them.

Let me correct Senator Dan Sullivan because it's a shame to think that I would know more about the process of his job than he does.

So the Associated Press, they were in their story, they accidentally told on themselves, this was a couple days back, when they were saying that, oh, the Pentagon's warning of disruptions as Army and Marines lack confirmed leaders for the first time. And again, because it's the first time that Democrats chose to politicize something like this.

Now, what they're talking about is the process of voting en masse. Take a giant chunk of these people and vote on multiple confirmations in one passing.

Now, nothing, I mean, nothing is stopping the Senate from taking up. Each nomination and confirming each nomination, one nomination at a time. Not even Tubberville can stop that. He can stop. En masse giant group conformations, and that's what he's doing.

So what you're hearing From these Republicans, number one, is that they're too damn weak to fight on your behalf against taxpayer-funded abortion. They don't want to sacrifice themselves on the altar of a good and principled fight. They'd rather you foot the bill and pay for someone else's abortion on demand as birth control. Happy to provide and argue with you into a hole in the ground. Any drive-by who wants to take issue with that because the statistics are on this thing called the internet, and they're actually published by Planned Parenthood themselves.

Aside from that. No one's stopping. to vote on each individual. Tubberville, like I said, he can't do that. But these people are so weak and so cowardly.

They're going harder at one of their own than they are the Democrats who put everybody in that position in the first place. This is like attacking Israel. for saying that you don't you shouldn't how dare you defend yourself 'cause you got attacked by Hamas? It's like, saying, how dare you, Republican senator, try to stop this action that Democrats are doing? I'm just talking about cause and effect here and how the left seems to always struggle with understanding it, no matter what the variables are.

I mean He has been hysterically attacked by Democrats and now Republicans that are joining right in with it. And the problem again. You have I don't I all so many of these nominees that they have and so many like for instance You have Air Force Lieutenant General Jim Slife. The Federalist head of peace on SLIFE, who after George Floyd's death wrote a memo claiming that U.S. service members are naive to believe that so-called institutional racism and unconscious bias don't affect the military.

He said it was important for the military to listen to other perspectives and accept them as valid. He added that because he's a middle-aged white man who grew up in a middle-class family, he's limited in his perspective. He pushes DEI and Marxism. He's not the only one. I actually think that this is a smart move on Tuberville's part because, A, you're blocking taxpayer subsidized abortion on demand as birth control, but also because number two, you are stopping a mass confirmation.

Some of these apples in this barrel are bad.

Some of them are pushing DEI and CRT, and they're being thrown in there with some of the better ones so that. They can hide in the reputations of the good ones and they can hide their DEICRT nonsense backgrounds.

So there's there's two. Two great benefits that we have from Tubberville doing this.

So if these people want to stand against Tubberville, These senators, you're standing against the American people. You know how I started the show? I wanted to fill everybody's tank. My tank's already half.

Okay. I feel like if you're standing against Tuberville on this point, you're standing against the American people. You're standing against a strong military. You're standing against actual military preparedness. You're standing against life.

You're weak and you gotta go. Remember their names and make them famous.

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. When a farmer sells his commodities normally, you have to go through the grocery store and the farmers get about 18 cents for every federal dollar, or excuse me, every dollar they have.

Sometimes you get less than that. Understand. I loved what he said at the end. He goes, and uh, some butt. Like, what's that?

What do you farm? Uh a little bit and uh some butt. What is he talk okay, I was asking Kane. Is he what is he trying to d Is he I don't know. I didn't even know what the hell question to ask.

What? Oh my gosh, can I have that forever?

Some butt.

Some but Was he? Was he trying to explain how farming works? I don't understand. I think so. I don't feel bad for him.

I know some of y'all out there do. I don't. Work him harder. Based on what he said, I feel bad for farmers. They're only getting 18 cents on the dollar.

Everything that you you think our regulations are bad here, which they are? In Britain? I don't know how they ha I don't know how they grow food there. If you so one of the shows I started watching over lockdown was Clarkson's Farm. I love Jeremy Clarkson.

Totally disagree. He's so wrong on Brexit. I understand why he has a position he does, but he's so wrong. Uh anyway. But he got He did it like as a hobby in the beginning.

And then he thought, you know, this is actually really neat to be able to, you know, I want to open a restaurant. I want to serve food that's all from local, everything local, nothing that is brought in. He wanted everything from the herbs to the milk to everything, even the ingredients that they used to make, everything, except salt, I think is what he said. Everything he wanted to be from the local area because they could do it.

Well, you have British regulations that stop you. You d uh you had the uh Chippy Norton, which is like a bunch of uh stuffed shirts. all in tweed. I watched a city council meeting or a council, the Chippy Knowlton council meeting, where a guy was complaining about Clarkson building a restaurant on his own land that was far away from where this guy lived. Because he enjoys the night sky.

He likes the dark sky. The regulations and everything that they have over there, it's almost like they penalize you if you are into agriculture in Britain. I mean, there's a lot of stuff here similarly that we get into, but. I just, it shocked me. And then he, and then it became less about it, he stopped doing it as like a hobbyist.

And because he thought it was fun and would make good content, it became a thing for him. Like he really became a believer. And realized how he was enraged on behalf of all of these farmers and people raising sheep and everything over there. He was so livid, and hearing how they needed the money they needed to be able to sell what they were growing and raising. And oh man, it's a very interesting show if you haven't watched it.

Just made me think when Biden was talking about this, I'm like, you know nothing about farming. Stick with us. Our second hour is coming up in mere moments. My last question: Are you wearing higher heels than Ron DeSantis next week at the debate so you can look taller than him on the stage? Yeah.

I don't know. We'll have to figure that out. I can tell you, I've always talked about my high heels. I've never, you know, hid that from anybody. I've always said, don't wear them if you can't run at them.

So, you know what? I'm really not going to take people who worship at the altar of spray tans and all that stuff to sit here. I'm not talking about Nikki Haley. I'm talking about all the petty fighting in the Republican primary, people fighting over whether or not Ron DeSantis wears lifts. And I never realized that so many reportedly straight dudes in the Republican Party could be obsessed with footwear and spray tans.

I just couldn't, you know, anyway. But Nikki Haley talking about that, I'm just like, she's got to put out there, guys, in case she forgot, I'm a woman, vagina and breasts, woman, woman card, lady. Can we just not can we just go one cycle? One I just get so Freudian unintentionally. Can we just go one political Election without someone having to go out and be like, But I'm a woman, though.

Here's my woman stuff and just stop it. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here. I started off first hour trying to fill everybody's tank up. I'm three quarters now.

Mm-hmm. Three quarters. I'm going to need to see some more happy videos.

So I'm just saying. Ugh, you can listen to the radio show Coast to Coast. You can watch the simulcast. As well on channel 347, DirecTV, YouTube, Facebook, all kinds of good stuff. All right, so can we?

Um I am We we we gotta talk about the Israel stuff. We gotta talk about how Germany is apparently going to hell in a handbasket. And we also need to talk about this proposal. Guys So what is it we've heard from Democrats? About Colleges.

I mean, we've we just had Joe Biden pass.

Well, how many billions was it? Another student loan forgiveness. Yeah.

If a Republican went out and said, okay, well, I see your student loan forgiveness. And I'm going to do you one better, Joe Biden. How about free Universities total. What if a Republican came out and said that? I'm just saying, what if a Republican came out and said, we're going to have free federally funded universities?

I know the words free, federally funded make no sense. But what if you had a Republican proposing that? It would be like loan forgiveness on steroids, would it not? And you would think that that's silly. I mean, do you think?

I mean, this is exactly what Democrats are proposing, right? Federally funded. Universities and you get free degrees. Free, federally funded. I mean, it's just, you know, the F's.

All the F's. I'm just saying that that would be that would be weird, right? Because that's not free, you're paying for it.

Well, that is exactly actually what was proposed. In a new campaign policy video, the former President Trump has said he wants to revolutionize higher education if elected President.

Okay guys, I got major questions. Do we now are we wait? Are we agreeing with Democrats now? I don't care where you stand on primary candidates, your fealty is to the country. If you're an American.

Um Are we agreeing with Democrats now? About funding everybody's education? Is that what we're doing? Because that's literally what he proposed. There's a video out.

I'm not playing the whole thing. But I'm telling you, the latest proposal they want They want to have federally funded Academies to grant Credit. To I I'm trying to figure out how that's a good thing that works. And he said that he wants to make Harvard pay for it. Like the wall we don't have.

So I. don't know why we would try to adopt and do what Democrats are doing with higher education. That is so dangerous to play with. That's not a conservative idea. That's socialism.

It is. That is socialism. You can wrap it up in whatever personality you want to. But it's socialism, guys. How does that make sense?

I read it. I was reading the thing. I mean, I'll give credit where due. I don't care. I'm still going to be doing what I do, no matter who's in the White House.

Although, you know, probably we might be in World War III and taxed to death. I mean, who knows? But. I don't know, nobody, nothing. But this is not a conservative idea.

Some of the people pushing it, I'm not surprised to see. I will say that there are some, there's some new thought in conservatism now. Where they're trying to bring back the George W. Bush compassionate conservatism. And they act like, because history began the day they were born, that this is a new concept.

I see a lot of people doing this. And I see some of the same people saying, oh, this is going to revolutionize. It's not going to revolutionize. It's already being done. I mean, wait, you're telling me that you're going to come into the world of education?

which already has federally funded everything, and they already want to subsidize all of it, and say, guys, We're going to do this exact same thing that you're doing. It's revolutionizing it. You're just continuing it. In fact, what you're doing is you're further validating it from the perspective of the right. That's not revolutionizing.

That is succumbing. That is being absorbed. It is surrendering. It is losing. I've seen some people, like I said, some of these influencers do this before.

These are the same people who think that the government should pay you to have kids. I see these same people go, look what they're doing in Hungary. Really? Wait, didn't we just spend like 20 years blasting the left for trying to al always compare everything that we were doing here to Europe? And now the right's going to start partaking in this.

What in the hell? Where did the thinking people go? They were giving people government stipends and free minivans if you have X amount of kids. I actually had a debate with someone who hosts a podcast and they never aired it, interestingly. And then we're friendly.

We get along, and they, you know, I don't have anything bad to say about them, except they're totally. They they think socialism light is conservatism and it's not. But they were saying, Yeah, we gotta, you know, we have to pay people. I actually had them tell me that we should pay people here to have kids so we don't have to have people come across the border. And I looked at them.

And I'm like, so welfare. Because it's worked so well. And they just stared at me. This never aired. It never aired.

It was totally recorded and never aired. I'm like, so you're promoting welfare. Like, well, it's not welfare per se. Oh, it's welfare. And you think that that's worked well here?

Well, they do it in Hungary. I don't we're not Hungary. You're telling me that that that that we've already done that here, you're telling me that it works here because we pay people per kit. You're telling me that it works here? How is that conservatism?

How is that limited government? How does that uphold any of the values that we say we uphold? Do you know? I think socialism and communism are evil. And evil perverts things.

I think people have a weird view. They think that maybe evil destroys things. Evil perverts stuff, which is worse. Because it's a A more debased style of destruction. Think about it.

I've always told people this. I don't want to destroy politically anyone. I want to convert them. But it takes more effort. The Perversion to actually enter into the mind or the ideological mindset of the right.

and convince them That, yeah, we should adopt these things. Let's adopt Democrats' style of welfare. And we'll say that our welfare is more virtuous because our ideology is better. That's the ticket. See, we'll say that our federally funded education is better.

Because our ideology is better.

So the entire argument then rests upon The Leveraging of big government to involve itself involve itself in the lives of everyday citizens. The merit of that is determined by the ideology involved.

So you're telling me that big government is okay.

So long as the people that you like are running it. Because that's the argument that is being made here. Just look at this. Is why people need to take logic classes. The only, I will say, In college, the most valuable class that I ever taught, that I ever took was logic.

I had several years I took advanced logic. Was the most brilliant, valuable course that, and I had a great, great instructor. But Do you realize the danger in this? I have friends, and these are well-known conservatives. It was a well-known conservative podcast host.

It ended up so bad that they never aired it. That's all I'm gonna say, because I don't wanna They do some good work, but that was bad. And I looked at them, I'm like, so you're telling me that you're fine with leveraging big government based on ideology, but that's situational and it depends on the ideology.

So your issue isn't with big government per se.

So you're making an anti-conservative argument to argue for anti-conservatism, and you're telling me that's conservatism, correct? At one point they were just so tongue-tied, they just stood there and they just sat there and looked at me. I see that argument being made right now.

So it is, if you're telling me that it's okay. That To have big government, so long as it pushes the right ideology, you are not a conservative. Because that is not what conservatism is. And I doubt that any of these people pushing this can define what. Let me tell you what conservatism is: it's not republicanism.

Conservatives believe in the Republic. But we believe in the liberty of the individual. That is above all. And that is what this republic The reason the Republic is made great is because the freedom of the individual. The Republic doesn't make the freedom of the individual great.

Our individual liberty makes the republic great. And that is the common identity. That's why I say you can go everywhere else and you can't be French or Italian, et cetera. You can come to America and you can be American because do you want to be free, yes or no?

So That is that's what conservatives believe. The individual liberty of the of uh of a person, of the citizen. And when you talk about Conservative, what are we conserving? That liberty against big government, against bad monetary policy, against bad foreign policy, anything that would infringe. Upon the sovereignty of the individual as the priority in this republic.

That is conservatism. That's why it's not republicanism. The party, republicanism, is about party first. And they believe in a lot of spending. Your neocons are in there, not all of them, but a good portion of them.

No child left behind is in that. Too big to fail is in that. The Joni Ernsts, Lindsey Grahams, Sullivans, and others. That are going after Tommy Tubberville for refusing to spend taxpayer dollars to subsidize abortion on demand as birth control for service members. They're all part of that.

That's why I'm not a Republican. I'm a conservative. People pushing these sorts of policies, these are anti-conservative policies. policies and I want you to be very careful who promotes this. Because it's one thing I get that people like certain politicians and they like personalities.

I get it. Especially when you feel like the world is closing in on you. But one of the reasons that the world's closing in on conservatives is because we have given too many bad ideas the past for too damn long. I say this to someone who has been in the streets a hell of a lot longer than the people bitching about this now. We got a ways to go.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Oh my gosh, so I don't know. Airbnbs freak me out. for stories like this.

New York Post, bat infestation turned Airbnb rental into house of horrors, says a lawsuit. A group of Airbnb guests claimed that their joyful 50th high school reunion party at a rental property in Michigan turned into a Halloween horror movie because they were attacked by a horde of bats. The distressed renters filed a civil complaint against Airbnb. Good luck with that, for having negligently allowed the bat-infested home to be advertised. They named the defendants, the owners as defendants.

They said that the residence was not safe. They said it was every renter's worst nightmare. They were actually attacked. They have pictures too. Oh, gosh.

They said that guests were awakened in the middle of the night. They found dark shapes flying around the bedroom, screeching sounds, all kinds of stuff. They were attacked. I don't know if anybody was bitten. They were struck by the bats.

They said some of them got entangled in the women's hair. Oh, yeah, one of the guests did, one guest did suffer bites. And they said that the bats managed to burrow their way into the bedding when they tried to hide under the covers. That's disgusting. Oh, no, no, no, no.

That's terrifying. Nope. No, thank you. Mancy Pelosi was served. She was subpoenaed.

Not, I was gonna say, not like a dance-off, but she was subpoenaed on the floor. It was in the case, remember when her husband, it was the home invader, the where I'm trying to pull this article up and it's not wanting to pull up, where she had been. Her husband was assaulted.

So it's related to that case. And she was served with a subpoena. She announced it on the House floor. She made the announcement that she has to produce documents in a criminal case in California via the House clerk. It's in relation to that attack, but we don't, nobody, it's like we're all like, nobody really knows a heck of a lot about it.

Like, they don't know if she's going to have to testify. Like, what? Why? It's weird. A second pig heart transplant patient did not make it.

They passed away. They passed away to Maryland Hospital after showing signs of organ rejection. Humans could breed in space after the International Space Station, they grew an embryo. In space? For the first time, they said the Boffins on the International Space Station have managed to grow a mouse embryo high up in space.

So I feel like that we're pretty far off from that. You know, that's like a big difference. That's a big difference. A North Dakota woman fatally poisoned her boyfriend after he inherited 30 million. Actually, he wasn't, it was just, he didn't, she didn't actually, he didn't inherit anything.

She did all this for nothing. Yeah, that was part of the story too. We have a lot more on the way. Stick with us. Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts, because knowledge is your ultimate superpower.

That's a reason to not have them. And, you know, I think when we look at this. As a whole, I would encourage the other side to not so lightly throw around the idea of innocent Palestinian civilians, as is frequently said. I don't think we would so lightly throw around the term innocent Nazi civilians. I think it's very important to draw a distinction here because this is Brian Mast.

He's a representative out of Florida. Welcome back to the program, by the way. Bottom of this. Second hour, Daniel Ash, with you. The left has lost their mind on him.

And they're mad at him. Because He was saying in his in the video He was saying that You know, here you you He was discussing the whole situation of the term Palestinian innocent Palestinian civilians. And he's specifically talking about the people that have been seen, whether it's in Gaza or whether it's in London or whether it's in New York, cheering literally for the destruction of its neighbor. to the north. That is what he's talking about.

And when you Put his remarks in context, where is the lie? That's what he's talking about. This is what the left does. They like to use everybody else as shields. They do.

They they use every and and all of this now is forcing. They're trying to force the administration. The administration, they won't say ceasefire. You know what they're saying? They're saying pause.

They're saying that we should have a pause. Meant by we Israel. That we that they should have they should pause. But to this to this comment Oh When AOC had tweeted, we can stop pretending people are treated equally here. Yeah, you're right.

Because we have Jewish Americans who are being attacked and harassed and assaulted at an unprecedented rate. In fact, according to all available uniform crime reports compiled over the last three decades, there has been an insane increase in that. not in any crimes against Muslims, but specifically against Jewish Americans. And yet it's the White House that decides to come out with an Islamophobia thing. They had a whole statement about their first evil net and first ever national strategy to counter Islamophobia.

Not anti-Semitism, but Islamophobia. And it's because they're hemorrhaging Arab support. Because you have Arab Americans here that are telling the Biden administration that we're not going to vote for you in swing states if you don't tell Israel to stop defending itself. And the administration is weak and they're ridiculous. And so, of course, they're okay, well, let's have a pause.

They think that that's triangulation. They think that that's kind of going halfway. Just wild. Here's the thing. If you do not want to be.

Conflated with Nazis, then don't defend Nazism. If you don't want to be conflated with Nazis, then don't. Cheer on the destruction of a nation because they're simply Jewish. If you don't want to be conflated with Nazis, then don't defend people who are raping women and burning babies because they were Jews. I mean, it's really easily.

Re really easy to understand, right? Really easy to understand. I mean, they can't even mut they couldn't even muster together any kind of censure of Ilan Omar. A year or so ago. It's it's Yeah.

And this administration is growing weak and shaky. on this issue. Here you literally had the Hamas official, the Hamas leader, Ghazi Hamad, from his mansion in Qatar, because they're driving around eating sushi, living in palaces in Qatar. He literally said that Hamas is going to keep doing October 7th until Israel is annihilated. He literally said that this week in a broadcast interview, the video of which is available online.

And everyone's saying Israel needs to stop and ceasefire. This is Hamas's leadership. Even since this video came out yesterday, not a single Democrat has said that Hamas should maybe ceasefire. Hell, not even a single Democrat demanded that Hamas release the hostages. They're trying to get all of their surrogates in the media and any other wayward Democrat back on the plantation of being pro-Hamas.

I mean, he came out with this video, and I haven't seen anything from the literally the day after this video comes out. The day after this interview, where the Hamas leader is saying they're going to repeat October 7th. until Israel is annihilated the damn day after. Kamala Harris is out there for the vice president who did less in her position than Karen Pence did as first or second lady gets out there and says, We're going to have a national initiative on Islamophobia. After Hamas was saying that they're going to keep attacking.

Like October 7th until Israel is annihilated.

So Brian Mast, he's making a point here. He's talking about all the people who have been cheerleading this. The people who have been defending it. The people have been denying it. And the reason why these protestations are increasing is because Israel.

is putting more and more pressure on Hamas and Gaza. If Angelina Jolie is going to be a UN goodwill ambassador, then she would go a long way in being educated on the areas of conflict. I think she's trying to be George Clooney's wife unsuccessfully, but she's. She, who I don't agree with politically, but at least there's some effort at education there. And I hate to say this because I love her dad.

But she's wrong here, and you got to call it out. This was ridiculous. She had a piece up, she put it on Instagram where she blasted. Israel For Uh The remember we talked about this, the bombing that took the strike that took place and it and it collapsed one of their tunnels, one of Hamas's many uh of their like three hundred mile tunnels that they have? Let me let me tell you something about the tunnels too that they have there.

Uh apparently Because I have, so I have some FLIR stuff, right? Uh we got some we got some night vision, we've got some optics and tha and different Tools to own the night, should anything ever go down sideways at Lash HQ. In the tunnels there The those the night vision optics don't work. I did not know that. They had video of these tunnels, 300 miles of these tunnels.

Now, think about it. The entire area of Gaza, like lengthwise, how many is like 30-something miles? long and six miles across. But you have 300 some odd miles of tunnels. One person can go through at a time.

Pitch black. They are, if they do not have any, pitch black, there's no ambient light. And I understand that with some optics, you have to have ambient light for those to be functional.

So, I want you to think about what IDF has to go through. It is like the worst trench-style warfare that you could ever imagine. This is subterranean warfare. This is horrific. They're going to lose a lot of people.

to eradicate Hamas and the thinking is that there are a lot of the hostages are being kept in these tunnels.

So you had Angelina Jolie. I'm looking for this. that I have Posted on Twitter reportedly. the picture of one of the areas above the tunnels. She said this was a deliberate bombing of a trapped population of nowhere to flee.

Gaza has been an open-air prison for two decades and is fast becoming a mass grave. Forty percent of those are are children. Whole families are being murdered. And she says, by refusing to demand a humanitarian ceasefire and blocking the UN Security Council from imposing one on both parties, world leaders are complicit in these crimes. Wow, it's almost like no Israelis were killed at all.

It was just all. Yeah.

Uh does she know who's violated the ceasefire pretend they've called for one? Yeah, Kane, who is that? Go ahead and tell everybody. You know? Hamas.

Oh, it's been Hamas. Uh Why does she think it's not an open-air prison? That's a lie. There's no such thing as an occupation. There's that that didn't happen and that doesn't exist.

Why are people trying to rewrite history? This is what's so stupid about this. Again, I go back to when they unilaterally, Israel unilaterally. pulled out of Gaza. They're not occupying Gaza.

They withdrew in 2005, and that was under their Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon. or a richer on. They came up with this disengagement plan several years before. And They keep saying that Israel is the occupier and they keep saying it's an open air prison and that they keep saying this and they have the responsibility of providing essential services and utilities and all this stuff. Uh This is a lot of people, like I said, a lot of people don't understand the history.

See, they evacuated Gaza. Israel literally demolished 26 of its own synagogues in leaving. They withdrew over 1,700 people from 21 different settlements. They withdrew 166 Israeli farmers. Uh they left behind.

And these farms produced Hundreds of millions of dollars in flowers and agricultural products. In leaving Gaza, Israel gave up 70% of its organic produce. Because they grew it in Gaza. And they left a massive infrastructure of greenhouses farmland, irrigation, all of that. They left it literally And I hate this, it's just what they call themselves.

I don't believe in Palestine. It's never existed. Palestinian is not an ethnicity. But the ruling entity calls itself the Palestinian Authority. Israel left it to the Palestinian Authority, who could have used it as a huge economic boost.

They literally, it's like walking in. to a house. Uh turnkey. You don't have to do anything to it. It's yours.

I've never seen anyone come across land.

So easily. And they had all of these techniques that were specifically developed in the greenhouses to deal with the sandy composition of the soil, the wet, everything. But guess what happened after they took it over?

So Hamas was elected immediately after that. Hamas and Fatah, they were two uh two parts, two sides of the same coin that was the Palestinian authority, is a Palestinian authority.

So Hamas wins the election and Hamas salutes and destroys. the greenhouses. destroys the irrigation, destroys all of it. They never actually got to use them. because their elected government destroyed them.

And even after Israel left in 2005, they still provided somehow I don't know why you're responsible to provide electricity to the sovereign entity next to you, but they did. They provided Gaza with electricity. I mean, at no point, because over I think what, at fi over 50% of Gaza's electricity was provided by Israel, and Israel never charged them for it.

Now, you would think maybe in that time, if you're a smart government, like, you know, if Hamas was smart, they would have made sure that they were self-sufficient and had the ability to provide their own electricity. But just like they looted their greenhouses and destroyed their ability to grow their own produce and just looted everything, they also did this. They also destroyed any opportunity and they destroyed any infrastructure where they could have maintained their own electricity or added onto it or improved existing infrastructure. They had one diesel plant where that provided apparently the other half of Gaza's energy. And that's in, I mean, that's a disaster because Hamas never kept up with it, and the people apparently never demanded that they did.

And that's accurate to say. Do you know why they didn't have another election after Hamas won that election? Because Hamas's popularity was so unbelievable, Fatah would have been eradicated. Fatah did not want to lose power.

So, the head of the Palestinian Authority who was the chair of Fatah. decided to suspend elections. Because Hamas was so popular. Even after everything I just shared with you. Because hate's popular.

Look on social media. Man hate rules the day.

So Hamas never reconstructed their grid. They never did any of this stuff. They didn't do anything to benefit their general population. They didn't upgrade their sewage system. They didn't upgrade any electricity.

They didn't do any of this stuff. I mean, Israel even supplied over something like 10% of Gaza's water. And they had their local reservoirs, Amnesty International, I think back in 2007 or 08. Wrote a piece about how Hamas and the elected government of Gaza couldn't even keep up the reservoirs. They couldn't even do their just basic due government diligence there.

so the water was unsafe to drink. Since their election, Hamas has been solely and Hamas alone in control of Gaza. Hamas controls everything from utilities, from the economy. to the agriculture, literally everything. And what they have done is destroyed any advantage that they would have had as a government.

They've destroyed any chance that people would have had to be self sufficient and independent. In order to wage a campaign of terror, because in their actual charter, they don't believe that Israel has the right to exist.

So, pray tell Angelina Jolie, how in the ever-loving hell is this Israel's responsibility? How in the ever-loving hell do you people who look at yourselves on camera and in magazines every damn day, how do you look at yourselves after saying, just asinine, clownery like that. and expect to be taken seriously. A little bit of history and education goes a long way. It's his life mission to make bad decisions.

It's time for Florida Man.

Well You know, I think fireball's kinda like the punkin' spice maybe of the Liquor world. I saw a meme that says, oh, this candle smells like fireball.

So I was like, no, that's cinnamon gel. Let's see. This headline: drunk Florida man takes company car for a spin after down in two fireball shots, say deputies. Mary County, Florida, Lee Rushing, was charged with a DUI after an incident that unfolded Monday. They said the 61-year-old man was reported to be driving under the influence.

They pulled him over. His eyes were watery. He smelled like cinnamon. And he said he had been, he just had a couple shots at fireball. He failed every sobriety test.

And then he had knee injuries that prevented him from doing the other things. He was released after a $1,000 bond. Woof. Third hour next. and for the United States that we will continue to honor the importance of the Palestinian people and their right to self-determination and dignity.

Yeah.

Hmm. Telling ya. Why is um It would be great if they gave as much lip service attention to what the Israelis went through. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you.

We are at the top of this third hour. You can listen coast to coast. You can stream the program as well. Uh Uh Facebook, you I had to think. YouTube, Facebook.

Channel 347, DirecTV. All those good all those good places. Uh yeah.

So remember I started the show today. I filled everyone's tank and I showed you the good and bad of the Halloween kid candy thing. And now I'm like a little less than a I'm I'm getting towards a quarter of a tank. Maybe. It's we're there yeah, 'cause it goes you get pretty cynical going through all of this.

And then especially with this story here, before we uh went into Florida Man last hour, I was telling you how Hamas and Hamas alone is to blame for everything that's been going on in Gaza. And I understand. I get that people are like citing the WikiLeaks stuff and they're like, yeah, but Dina, look at the involvement. I don't care. Let's just like, I'm just going to, let's just say that every conspiracy out there is true.

Hamas is still elected. They it still enjoyed and enjoy major popularity. to the point where more so than Fatah. There is literally nothing that anyone did that changed that. And they could have Put all of the infrastructure that was left to them in 2005 to use.

And they chose not to do that.

So that's what the conspiracy theories don't address. Like, why didn't they why did they destroy the greenhouses? Why did they destroy all the farmland? Like, why did they destroy all this stuff? Why did they do that?

That's weird. Why did they not keep up with the when they had the ability to do so? with infrastructure. And and and k keep that why do they demand that everybody else provide all their utilities for free? No one asks for accountability from Hamas.

They just keep saying that it's Israel, it's Israel, it's Israel. No one asks for accountability for them. Nobody says that. Nobody asks. And it's I'm so tired of hearing it over and over again.

And whether it's people like Angelina Jolie posting stuff on Social media on on Instagram I mean, they are to blame. Hamas is and Hamas alone is to blame. I mean, the New York Times, let me pull this up. This was just a couple of days ago. The New York Times literally who, you know, they're not exactly friendly to Uh Israel.

They actually had to admit, as Gazans scrounge for food and water, Hamas sits on a rich trove of supplies. They've been stockpiling their own food, fuel, and medicine, and ammo and weapons, and they keep it all for themselves. They actually had to write about this. The New York Times actually had to write about this. They said, quote, Hamas has hundreds of thousands of gallons of fuel for vehicles and rockets.

cachets of ammunition, explosives and materials to make more, stockpiles of food and water and medicine. They quote a senior Lebanese official. That Hamas quote has enough stocked away to keep fighting for three or four months without resupply. I mean They chose to kill over 1400 people. By sending terrorists into Israel.

And they could have stopped this from escalating further had they handed over the hundreds of hostages that they had. that they have. But they don't. And then Hamas will stop its own people from leaving, even as their leadership sits in palaces in Qatar. They declare Times of Israel, and this was noted by New York Times also.

The leadership of Hamas said, no nation is liberated without sacrifices.

Well, they're sacrificing by sitting on their giant fat terrorist asses in Qatar, literally dining on sushi. Cause apparently that was in a video. Isn't that something else? They're to blame alone for this.

So this whole idea of a ceasefire This is Man. This administration is so weak, so weak. How in the world? Oh, we need to have a pause. There ain't going to be no pause until release the hostages.

Release the hostages. No pause until then. There's not going to be a pause. There's not going to be a ceasefire. Actually, I don't even, it shouldn't be a ceasefire.

Hamas needs to be destroyed, utterly destroyed.

Now notice how when you say that All of their supporters freak out. But they had no problems when Hamas was doing all everything that it was doing to Israel. This is weird. I saw that they had a Jewish history mural outside of Cantor's Deli, which is a very iconic Los Angeles. Dully?

Uh that Apparently, it's been open since before Israel became the recognized country that it is. They were defaced with Graffiti. This is wild. That's just like one of many instances. This is crazy to see all this.

You know what's interesting though? Because they keep saying Gaza is occupied, Gaza is occupied. Have you seen the story from ABC News? Sudan is now one of the worst humanitarian nightmares in recent history. 5.6 million people have been displaced both within and without.

within and outside of national borders. Hmm. Interesting. You probably haven't heard a lot of people talking about that. They have this huge humanitarian crisis, internal conflict, political instability.

Hmm. Not only that, but There are other instances. Let me pull a couple of other things up. I had this in your prep that I sent out. If you get the prep email over at chapter and verse.

I said synthesis out as well. I noticed that Pakistan is expelling 1.7. Million refugees. And they just bulldozed a bunch of shelters over there. And they have hundreds of thousands of Afghans that are now fleeing to the border.

Refugees that want to be settled elsewhere. Many have lived in Pakistan for decades.

So they're forcing these Afghans to leave Pakistan. Um Where where are all the people? protesting that That's from the BBC. By the way. They had 10,000 Afghan refugees that were rushing to border areas.

See, that's okay. Because they can't blame it on Jewish people. That's a reality. Let's be real. They can't blame it on Jewish people, so we're not going to talk about that.

What do you mean? Like Arabic people going after other Arabic people? Oh, we can't talk about it. There's no Jewish people involved.

So they, you know, they're not, we can't blame it on any Jewish people.

So let's not talk about it. Notice how AOC hasn't cried for any of these people. I didn't see anything from the great UN humanitarian Angelina Juliet. I didn't see anything from her. About us Huh.

Is it because there's no Jewish people to blame it on? I'm curious. Or the situation in Sudan. It's 'cause there's no Jewish people to blame it on? I'm I'm interested in understanding what motivates people to be upset over certain different Certain Arabic groups and others, and not be upset over, you know, like these.

Like, why not be you're not upset over these Afghans? that are being expelled from Pakistan. You're not uh you're not upset about the Where's the objection to what? Oh, the Pakistanis are so cruel. Where's your objections?

I'm just, I'm amazed at the ignorance. Listen to this. This is John Kirby because they're voting. Today, the voting begins. on whether or not there's going to be an Israeli assistance bill.

That will be passed out of the house because You've had the administration that wanted to tie it to uh Ukraine spending more s more money to Ukraine. And John Kirby response, he was asked about this just moments ago, listen.

So, was the Vice President correct? He would be a toe in Israel-only bill if it didn't have other issues that you were concerned about. would veto an only Israel bill. We I think that we've made that clear. Why?

Why would you why couldn't you do one thing at a time? Why oh, because they can't tie it to Money laundering in Ukraine. That's why. Big They can't tie it to any of those other things. That's why.

Oh, can't do that. Heaven forbid Can't tie it to any of these other things.

So. Mm. Just I got a lot of questions. There was also, they said that Mike Johnson. Did you see, by the way, that they're so mad at Mike Johnson, the new speaker?

I got to share this with you. Hang on, let me, before I get into this other stuff, hold up, hold up, hold up. They are mad at Mike Johnson because he's not rich. No, I mean it. Like they're mad at him because he isn't rich.

Who was it that wrote this piece? It was a stupid piece. But they were they were going after him by saying that He doesn't have a ton of money in savings and he doesn't have a lot of cash on hand and how is he going to get money and all this other stuff. I mean, they were going after him for Like, not being corrupt. I don't know how else to say it.

Like, that's. They're going after him for the stuff that Joe Biden has done, for not doing what Joe Biden has done. I can't I can't make sense of it. I can't make sense of it. But that's what they're doing.

They're going after him because it says, Mike, like this guy, Mike Johnson doesn't have any retirement savings, it's the daily beast. He doesn't own a single stock and he doesn't have assets at all. He has less than $5,000 in his bank account. He's got a $250,000 mortgage, a home equity loan, and a personal loan. What's his retirement plan to lobby?

Oh my gosh, are you telling me that Mike Johnson lives like most Americans do right now? While he's raising his kids. Kell Horor He's so bad. You know what he should do? He should go and sell out our national security to the CCP.

And then, if you try to hold them accountable, write this completely BSing editorial for USA Today in which you say that any criticism over your violation of any kind of law or selling out national security in exchange for enriching yourself with the CCP is just, well, it's demonizing your addiction. Oh, Hunter Biden wrote that. We're going to talk about that coming up. Oh boy, buckle up. I know he did.

As we get moving, I don't know if he was sober when he wrote it. I mean, I don't even know if he did he send it with like white powder. I don't know. And now, all of the news you would probably miss, it's time for Dana's Quick Five.

So everybody has heard of Vanta Black, right? Vanta Black is like the blackest black color that you can ever buy. It like sucks the light out of a room. Except you can't actually buy it. I mean, it was developed for UK's Defense Ministry and apparently it's also reportedly carcinogenic, but you can get Black 4.0.

Now Black 4.0 is the blackest paint that you can actually purchase. And you I mean really don't have there's not a reflection on it. It is apparently discomforting for people to see it. It is really, it's like, it sounds amazing and I want to paint a whole house in it. I would totally be the person that has the black 4.0 house, not gonna lie.

That sounds so cool. I want to paint something with it. I don't even know what, Kane. We got to do this in the new studio. Maybe I can paint something with the black 4.0.

Apparently, though. It's really expensive. Like a it's not like a b a a bucket, it's like a bottle. It's like fifty dollars.

So I don't know if that's actually realistic. But anyway, it's just, you know, kind of, it's kind of cool to know there's the super goth black out there. Let's see, cannabis candies. What a weird name. That's so some.

I'm sorry, cannabis sounds so bougie. It doesn't it? Right? I know what it's, I know, just say pot. Like when you say cannabis, just stop it.

Shut up. You're just trying to sound pretentious.

So, anyway. There was some pot candy. Kids that were in Alameda, of course, it's California, they found pot-infused fruit juice amongst the candy that they received. I bet it chilled them out. No, I'm just kidding.

They said, don't give your kids pot juice. It says that one child ingested the THC candy, became ill, and sought medical attention so bad. Two families found the weed candy amongst the traits that they got at a PTA event. They were labeled as lost farm cannabis-infused fruit juice. How much do you wanna bet that someone just didn't know?

It was like some stoner who's like, oh, I can't sound a county. How about 78s? This is love we're in. Right? Wait, how much do you want to bet that they just thought Sister Fritches?

It's like having Cinkobaloma. Just like that. Remember Ginkgo Biloba? Oh my gosh. Sidebar, when I was in high school track, I was varsity and like from the get-go.

And my mom gave me Ginkgo Biloba caplets. And one of these girls who was like suckier than me, and I always beat her and she was jealous. She was trying to say that I was on performance enhancing drugs. I'm like, it's Ginkgo Biloba from the health food store. You fruitcake.

Anyway, a trooper wrangled a wayward chicken, wayward chicken, a banjo cover band of metal songs. Wayward chicken. A trooper wrangled away chicken off an eye, uh off the interstate in Seattle. That chicken didn't cross the road. There's video of it, and it's hysterical.

He totally wrangled that chicken. I love it. All right, stick with us. We got more in store. Elevate your commute, workouts, or downtime with the Dana Show Podcast.

John, so talking about getting Americans out of Gaza, President Biden said, I want to thank our partners in the region and particularly Qatar. The leader of Hamas lives in Qatar.

So why is President Biden thanking them for anything? Oh geez, Peter. Let's take a step back here and look at this. Carter was they are a terrorist group that killed Americans and kidnapped Americans within the last month, Peter. Cutter has been helpful in getting those Americans out.

I'm sure you would agree with me and everybody at your network would agree that getting American hostages out is a good thing. And Cutter was a key point. Cutter has lines of communication. With Hamas? that almost nobody else has.

Now I'm not saying that we Support Hamas? Of course we don't. They're a terrorist organization. And Israel has an absolute right to go after them. But Cutter has lines of communication that not everybody else has.

And it would be irresponsible. In fact, I would expect that you and everybody else in here would be going after me if we weren't. Doing everything we could and having every possible conversation we can have to get Americans that are held hostage back home with their families. If we weren't doing that, it would be diplomatic malpractice. Oh my gosh, the grandstanding.

I mean, and we all like getting the hostages out, am I right? I mean, you know, Kane. I mean, we love getting the hostages out there. I mean, do you hate that? We can all agree on that, can't we?

Do you hate getting the hostages out? What does that have to do with what? Peter Doocy just asked him, welcome back to the program, Dana La Share with you, bottom of this third hour. What does that have to do with what was just asked? I don't want to dislike John Kirby.

I want to have someone that I kinda like at some involved in the administration at all whatsoever, because I need to have that belief that if it all goes to hell, there's at least one person in the administration who isn't a total walking garbage can. I mean The head of Hama the leaders of Hamas live in Qatar. If if Qatar wanted to be truly helpful, why wouldn't they just be like why wouldn't they just kill the leaders of Hamas? Or let us do it. You know, this could all be over real quick.

We can do it the easy way, or we can do it the real easy way. You know, I mean, just seems like it's a simple question, right? Hmm. I don't know. Did you go see Boy, oh boy.

I'm gonna try not to get wound up on this one. Did y'all see the uh editorial? Is it USA Today? I'm pulling it up. I have it up actually.

I have a million eleventy thousand windows up. Why? I have a four and a half foot wide screen. Why? I don't know if you saw it, but um They had this uh story.

Editorial by Hunter Biden I first saw it from uh Tater. Or sorry, uh Brian Stelter's mean of me. Potato. Uh Brian Stelter. Hunter Biden said, quote, What troubles me is the demonization of addiction, of human frailty.

using me as its avatar and the devastating consequences it has for the millions struggling with addiction, desperate for a way out, being bombarded by the denigrating and your constant coverage of me and my addiction on Fox News. Because, see, everybody but Hunter Biden should have consequences. L ex except for him. Everyone but him should have consequences for lying on a forty four seventy three. I I'm Oh my gosh Don't you dare talk about Hunter Biden enriching himself off the CCP at the expense of national security, engaging in human trafficking, violating gun laws, violating the Farah Act.

You're demonizing his coke addiction. How darest thou This is the ma oh, my gosh He literally this published today. The litter Oh my gosh, the headline. Kane, I need something. I need a stress doll, the one where its eyes bulge out.

Note to self, stress doll. Hunter Biden, I fought to get sober. Political weaponization of my addiction hurts more than me. Who wrote that? My struggles and my mistakes have been fodder.

for a violin sustained he's mad about the criticisms against his family. This is illicit. Let me read it to you. Today in Hunter Biden. It's like the this is like the uh my grandma's afternoon stories.

So he writes this. Over four years ago, I chose a life. over the slow, strangled death grip of addiction, which in my case consisted of a day each day of a bottle of vodka and as many hits on a crack pipe as possible. I'm prouder of that choice and of my recovery than anything I've done. My plum blah blah blah blah blah.

My family. Oh, and then he gets into. My struggles and my mistakes have been fodder for a a violent sustained disinformation campaign against my father and an all out annihilation of my reputation through high pitched but fruitless congressional investigations while they're still ongoing there, Champ, and more recently criminal charges for possessing an unloaded gun for eleven days five years ago. charges that appear to be the first of ever of their kind brought in the history of Delaware. But he says you're denigrating addiction.

What your demonizing addiction and human frailty by using me as its avatar. That's what he's writing here. I can't, first off, can I just go back to the one? I mean, he only, as a drug addict, illegally possessed a gun for eleven days. I mean only What did he do with that gun?

Probably blew cocaine off it. I don't know. Stored cocaine off it. I thought he got rid of it. Oh yeah, his uh sister in in law lover threw it in a trash can across the street from an elementary school.

He is saying that you can't criticize him because if you I my crimes that I committed are the same thing as the addiction. If you denigrate me, you're denigrating addiction. That is the worst logic ever. Do you know why it's the worst logic ever? Because He's exploiting addiction.

to dodge accountability for his crimes. I've known addicts. I've had addicts in my family. Not all addicts sell out their country to the Communist Chinese Party to enrich themselves. And not all criminals.

Our attics. He chose to do that, and now he's going to try to say that you can't. You can't hold him accountable or criticize him for it because because of his addiction. I wouldn't be surprised if his logic is maybe I should try to avoid more accountability by keep doing the drugs. That way, I I'm an addict.

You can't you you're denigrating my addiction. Instead of in the past tense, make it current. Hmm. I mean I've heard some stuff before. Isn't that like one of the first steps of recovery, is to ac accept responsibility?

for the actions you choose to make. I mean, it seemed like, and someone else made this point. He didn't really show any interest in getting sober. Until the Uh fit. As they would say.

Hit the shan. Right? You can't You can't talk about. How he violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act. His addiction, though.

You can't talk about him being a Illegally in possession of a firearm. He only had it for eleven days. Five years ago. I mean, come on. Mm.

Germany Christmas I am Pretty amazed. He actually had he actually wrote this whole entire Editorial about that. But he just admitted to a crime. He admitted to all these crimes in the city. What a stupid moron.

I mean, goodness. And then he tried to go. He tried to get into His mom's suicide. What? I thought she was kid.

What? I guess she ran on purpose with her kids in the car? In front of a oncoming Truck. Interesting. Because, see, remember how Joe Biden went around and was saying that his wife was killed by a drunk driver and the guy wasn't drunk at all?

His wife just didn't stop at a stop sign. Huh. Huh. He gets mad and says that people posted altered nude photos of him. What was he good looking before?

Did they just make them ugly? Like, I don't understand. Like, what? Did they photoshop clothes off of him? That all came off his that all came off his laptop.

The FBI confirmed it was his. Oh my gosh, he hits everything He hits about his brother? He goes into everything. Like all of these things are why you should not hold me accountable for any of the crimes that I chose to commit. Because of the drugs That's why.

I think what he's doing Actually, it sets back addiction and people who are trying to deal with addiction. That's what he's doing because he's saying that you can do whatever you want. If you're an addict, you've got to get out of jail free card. There's no expectation of accountability. And recovery starts with that.

I think him using addiction as a get out of jail free card sets that recovery back. for everybody else and it makes everybody else look suspect like i said i've known addicts I've had addicts in my family. Not every criminal is an addict. And not every addict goes out and sells out national security or does the crazy stuff that he did, engages in human trafficking, does all these things. Not every addict does that.

He is just a privileged aging brat, who thinks that he is still in his twenties. And that He can do whatever he wants because daddy's the president. Hunter Biden is a privileged white trash brat. in an almost 60-year-old's body. It is insane that he is coddled and treated like a child in this manner.

I mean, obviously the whole family has issues. Because the whole family from Joe to honestly, I think Jill has issues too. I mean, how do you have all of these kids that come from the same family and two different women, and they're all messed up? They all have issues. They all are addicted to drugs, or they have daddy issues, or something.

Like, maybe be parents. It felt like Joe and Jill were chasing political dreams instead of raising their damn kids. And now, look at it. That's just shameful. Absolutely shameful.

And then it's like they, they, they, I don't know. I just, I, they should have been, they should have spent more time with their kids. I don't know. I, but that just makes me angry. And I, there are a lot of you out there who are listening who are like, you know what?

I'm sober this many years and I would have never done this. Because what he's doing is like he's, he's impugning the character of everybody. And I also think he calls into question reconciliation. By refusing any kind of accountability or even acknowledging his culpability in this. He acts like everybody invented these crimes and assigned them to him.

You did this yourself. And you know what? According to all everything that has ever been written about him, this dude had issues before he was even on drugs. He was a spoiled little brat. Like the only reason that apparently, I think that I don't know if he's privileged, I don't think because his parents cared.

I think he's privileged because they had to keep up appearances, and there's a big difference. That's why you got some people that have serious problems and they look like they come from everything. Because the parents don't do it with a compassionate heart. They do it because they want to keep up appearances. And it feels like that's what this family did.

That doesn't excuse him from his choices either. He's he's an entitled brat.

Every time they want to address U.S.

support to Israel, the White House pivots to Islamophobia. Is that an accurate assessment? How would you respond all? Let them speak to their opinion of our work. I can tell you that this strategy is born from a genuine desire.

to go after the kind of hate in America that could lead to real threats of violence against Jews. But we're doing Islam. Our fellow citizens who are of the Muslim faith or in the Arab community and Palestinian community, I mean, that comes from a genuine Mm instinctual Uh uh place for the President f and for the Vice President. I mean, you know, the the the kind of hate that we're seeing Uh you know, against the Jews, but we just decided Cain. You know?

The do Islam. Welcome back to the show. Oh my gosh. This is why I could not be a reporter in the press pool. I would be thrown out on the every day, on the daily.

I'd be tossed out, and then I'd be banned. There's no way.

So you're telling, because you, you know, the hate like with the Jews, John? Is that what you're telling us? Is is that what you're is that what you're saying? when when they when they say from the river to the sea, are they talking about getting rid of black people and Muslims? Is that what they're talking about?

John? Talk about getting rid of Muslims? Doesn't sound like that. They touched up the BLM. Mural in DC.

Mm-hmm. Yeah, did you know that? 'Cause, you know, first Because there's so much hatred in the world right now, Kane.

So much hatred. It's very important that We make the people who have been Defending Hamas. No, that it's I'm not specifically talking about those people. that it's okay. It's nothing to fear.

What a backwards So you're telling me, John, that There are Jews being attacked in college campuses around the country, businesses, people are being targeted, riots outside of Israeli embassies and multiple countries, John. But Islamophobia, you feel, is what we need to tackle. Is that correct? That's a that's the follow-up I would have. Maybe I could go in disguise.

See, I could just wear different disguises every day. And then big no, I'm not dead. I am John Schmidt. Yeah.

Um John J. Schmidt. Jingleheimer. That's right. I'm a new reporter asking questions.

All right, today's stupidity. All right, it is John Kirby. He was asked about last night. Biden at a, you know, this fundraiser, he bizarrely claimed that he convinced BB to call for a ceasefire. This was the question.

Oh, for the love. But I just want to be fully clear that so when the president said last night that he convinced Prime Minister Netanyahu to do a ceasefire, he was referring to the two Americans that got out. But Israel has never acknowledged that they paused.

So can you give us a better understanding of what exactly was paused? And if the understanding is that for every sort of hostage release, there would be a pause. We're running out of time, but he essentially walks that whole path. He pauses. He walks.

It's not a ceasefire. It's a pause on the fire.

So a c o not a ceasing, it's you know, we're asking for a pause. you know a beat, if you will. Folks, sign, find us at YouTube, Facebook, like and subscribe back with you tomorrow.
