All right, so there's a movie out if you are looking for something to view this weekend or looking you want to go to the theater or you wanna you want to go see a great film. There's a new film out from the studio that brought you the sound of freedom and the chosen. And these are films that were really, really well done. One of my biggest criticisms of so many films that kind of originate on the writer and the faith-based community is that it seems like production value was always secondary. The Angel Angel Studios really, really focuses on just top-notch production, and they really do great, great films.
I mean, they just look, you know, really beautiful and they're really well done. And their next one, After Death, which is in theaters now, and you can purchase your tickets online at angel.com/slash Dana, it explores the mystery of what happens, you know, what could happen after we die. And it looks at the perspective, looks at it from the perspective of individuals who have gone through this, who had a situation where they, you know, they were flatlined, their heart stopped beating, and they went, you know, to the realm beyond. And it talks about their experiences, first-person accounts, but they also incorporate, unlike anybody else, very careful research.
So it's the perfect marriage of scientific knowledge and philosophy and faith to paint a faceted. Picture of what life could be like in the next realm. To find a theater near you and to purchase tickets online, you can go to angel.com/slash Dana. And you can also pay it forward. You know, you can purchase a ticket from someone else.
So, if you're someone that would love to go see it, but you know, times are tough and you can't really swing tickets, you can actually go and generous fans have paid it forward for you. And you can get a free ticket at angel.com slash Dana.
So, leave your preconceptions at the door. Prepare for a never-before-seen glimpse into what the next life could entail. And after death, in theaters now, get your tickets today, pay it forward, angel.com slash Dana. That's angel.com/slash Dana. After death, the end is only the beginning, PG13.
I think we've talked about this before, Colleen. I mean, we're really. not just talking about like one pause. What we're trying to do is explore the idea of as many pauses as might be necessary to continue to get aid out and to continue to work to get people out safely, including hostages.
So why, my question with this is why is it always imperative on the United States or Israel to make every compromise to To to do everything. uh always because no one is saying and and i i feel like this should go without saying. That If There was to be any kind of ceasefire Maybe. Just maybe it should be. Hamas that cease fires.
Just the thought. Because You know, you've heard this saying before that if it was. Uh Israel that actually Ceasefire, put down their guns, then I mean, you would have another Holocaust, and it's true. Because the issue isn't The the belligerent here isn't Israel. And I'm so tired of having everything couched in that Uh perspective.
Because it completely excuses and refuses to acknowledge. everything that led us up to This point in time, right now. And I'm, I'm. Honestly, I just don't know how people can go through life. With that, thinking that that's the way it goes, because it's not.
Welcome to the show. First off, I got a lot here I want to unpack.
So. Again, good to be with you. It's Friday, thank heavens. It's we made it to Friday. Let's see if we can make it through the weekend.
Good grief. But The latest with this. We have the administration, which you kind of knew this was going to happen because of the. posturing that Biden had been taking through the week. And remember how they started.
Now remember. How did they start with this whole business of ceasefire? They had originally started with, oh no, we're not gonna have, you know, Biden didn't even, he kind of, remember how he was asked the question? About a ceasefire, and he just sort of didn't really know exactly how to handle it. And then.
It but it sounded like he didn't that was not something that he wanted. And then now we are in this position where he's It s it seems like this is the other people. That are advising him in all of this, that are pushing him towards. demanding that Israel put your ceasefire, let it let humanitarian aid go through. I mean, to have a pause, I was reading this piece because Anthony Blinken went on and he was saying that Israel has to do more to protect Palestinian civilians.
And Netanyahu, there's now there's some daylight here. There's daylight between Netanyahu and the Biden administration, and it doesn't look as though, I just don't think that it looks good, honestly, for this administration at all to have the position that it does. Netanyahu rebuked the United States and said, no, we're not going to do a pause. We're not doing this. And that's such stupid language, too, because they act like, you know, the administration, I don't know if they think that that's like a little coup that they have because they're not, they didn't say the word ceasefire, but we all know what it means.
We all know that this, you know, that's exactly what this is. It's a ceasefire. This isn't just a pause. They're trying to play word games here. It's a ceasefire.
And He says that you have to protect The citizens in Gaza, and that failure to do so, he says, that this is. You have to protect the citizens in Gaza, and failure to do so, it just is playing into Hamas's hands.
Well, all of this, what he's doing, is playing into Hamas's hands. I mean, that's exactly what this is doing. He says that the pauses, he goes, we've got to get the hostages out, etc. They're holding the hostages in the tunnels. Biden spoke yesterday.
Or Blinken spoke in Tel Aviv. He met with Netanyahu, and now you see daylight between the Allies here. He says that Hamas can't, you know, we have to be able to get the hostages out. It's not Israel that's preventing the. hostages from leaving.
It's Hamas. It's preventing the hostages from leaving. Uh th Israel doesn't have anything to do with this. And To have the United States take this position is asinine. I mean, it's for it's.
I mean, this is the dumbest damn thing I've ever seen. This is so stupid. Like, now you have the Hezbollah leader threatening the United States. Americans have to quickly stop this war. Americans don't have to do jack squat.
Americans didn't do anything. Americans don't have to stop anything. Hezbollah and Hamas need to stop. I feel like we're parents on a playground. And we're telling kids to stop bullying.
Because that's that's Hez that's Hezbollah and and Hamas right now. I feel like we're telling kids to stop bullying. I mean, you have two belligerents. You have an entity, an Iranian-backed, two Iranian-backed entities that have been carrying this out, and yet they're telling the people who are defending themselves to stop and to ceasefire. We absolutely have no obligation to ceasefire or call for one.
Israel has no obligation. to enact a ceasefire. Not at all. And nor should they. I don't think they should.
I don't think that they should have. I don't think there should be any kind of ceasefire, and I don't think there should be any kind of aid or anything else flowing through because this is the reality of war. And this is what Hamas chose. And all of these people that have been so silent and have been so forgiving and have been so accommodating of Hamas's terrorism over the years, they are all culpable in this. They have all created this because you allowed Hamas to operate without any kind of penalty.
You allowed Hamas to operate and do all of this stuff for all of these years, whether it's violating ceasefires or stealing aid or killing people. Have you seen the video, by the way, that's making the rounds of people in Gaza who were shot and killed laying on the road? There were no strikes in this region. There were no strikes in that region.
So do you know what it was? It was Hamas sniping and killing its own people. If you want to have a discussion about a ceasefire, then maybe let's talk about that ceasefire. Maybe Hamas can stop killing. their own people long enough.
Yeah, that video is making. I don't really, I mean, it's really gory. I don't want to show it, and none of it's censored. But it is, um it's 'cause it's it's It's bad. But that's what Hamas does.
Hamas kills their own people. Hamas kills more people in Gaza and West Bank than Israel has ever and Israel doesn't target here's the other thing, Israel is not targeting civilians. They're not targeting civilians. Hamas does. If civilians are killed.
As a result of a rocket strike. It is an influx of the advertent unintended. Casualty. It is not something that has been. planned and it's not something in which they they target citizens to push terror.
And The difference is that Hamas absolutely does this as a psyop. They target all these people as a psyop.
So This is the latest. Our country is slowly trying to back away. And leave Israel there. Because if it seems like Israel doesn't have allies in the region, then you're going to have other nations that are probably going to go weak in the knees. And guess what?
You're going to have more dead Gazans. You know how you get more dead Gazans? Not holding Hamas accountable. That's how you get more dead Gazans. You know how you get more dead babies?
Not holding Hamas accountable. That's how you get more dead babies. I was looking at the website. If you are a subscriber over at Chapter and Verse, My Newsletter, which you should be. Because things regularly go out there and they're very important.
I had to put a big giant warning. On one of the links I included. Uh yesterday. And it was It's a horrible website that Israel was forced to create because you have all these people that are deniers. Out there that didn't think they they actually don't think that hardly anybody was killed on October 7th.
So they they put a website together that includes all of the footage. of the October 7th attack and a lot of it uh terrifyingly comes from the terrorist stone body cameras. And they had to do it because Hamas's propaganda and their allies in Western media were claiming that it didn't happen like this, and it absolutely happened like this. I mean the images are end of video are Heart-shattering. You can't unsee it.
And I would advise you, I mean, if you, you know, what happened. And if you know what happened and you believe reality, you don't need to go and see because you can't unsee it. I mean, there are videos of people being murdered point blank. There are there are bodies of women that are partially burned, their hands bound. Uh there are bodies of babies.
uh babies who were shot in their in their cribs Babies who had arms or hands cut. I'm not kidding you. This is the stuff that's on this website. Uh they found uh in fact And they did, I don't know if it was a French journalist, they had one journalist there that went in. And uh they found in one of the in one kibbutz that they went into, They killed the parents and then they took their months-old baby and they put the baby in the oven and they turned the oven on.
And I'm telling you this because I'm just going to be very frank about it because people need to know about it. And the heat, as the baby was cooking, you know, the baby swelled. And the heating element actually fused to the body of the child. And the it's it this is what Hamas did. There is no moral equivalency between Hamas doing this and Israel carrying out a strike.
And trying to get rid of Hamas and Hamas surrounding itself with civilians that it refuses to leave, civilians that voted for it, by the way, and just until the last couple of years, I mean, who knows what the surveys say now, loved Hamas, surrounds themselves with civilians so that they can claim to be victims if they are struck. They challenge people to try to take them out so they can call them murderers, even though they're greater murderers than anyone that would ever defend themselves against Israel. There's no moral equivalency between what Hamas does and did and Israel defending its country by not targeting civilians, warning civilians a week in advance, like giving up their own positions and advantage by warning people, please leave the area. We are going to carry out a strike. Actually, giving Hamas time to leave.
And Hamas isn't letting people leave. It's shooting people in the street point blank when they try to leave. There's irrefutable evidence that these Hamas fluffers out there all refuse to acknowledge. There is no moral equivalency between that. None.
There was a pregnant woman who was attacked in one of the kibbutz that was near, I think it was the eastern side of Gaza. Uh her baby was cut out of her body and the same thing, put into an oven. Just horrific. Horrific. They were showing some of this footage.
To members of the press and also members of Israel's government the other day. And there were people who had to leave the room because they were sick, like vomiting sick. Because of what they were seeing. There is no moral equivalency here. Hamas isn't defending itself from anything.
Hamas They're col it's colonizers. They're colonizers. Fatah, they're colonizers. Palestinian Authority, the fake country with the fake people name, colonizers. They're colonizers.
This is colonization. Where's the DEI people? Where's CRT people? Where are they at? Our partners over at Headrest Safe, this is a great Christmas gift.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five. All right, so first up Nicholas Cage says that the, he's calling, sounding the alarm of what he says is inhumane digital editing, this trend where everybody's like de-aged. He says that it's a nightmare to him. He says that the use of digital editing in Hollywood, he spoke out in an interview that was published this week. He said that he goes, he goes, it's terrifying.
He was telling one news outlet that one of the scenes that he filmed as a cameo in Superman, as Superman in the Flash, didn't actually happen. And he said that it was, because it is. I mean, it was like total, you know, CGI, AI, all of that. And he says that it's crazy. He goes, I didn't do that.
I wasn't there. That didn't happen. And he says that he goes, he said it was crazy. And he says that the de-aging is terrifying. And his answers on this are hysterical.
I love Nick Cage. It is weird though. Have you seen it? Like when they, when they de-age actors with, it is wild. It's wild.
Harvard says that, I don't believe this, and I hate all these people. Your T-bone is giving you diabetes. You know what? You can shut up us. Nobody cares.
I'm so tired of people who are complaining about red meat. If God did not want us to eat animals, He wouldn't have made them out of meat. Shut up. Sit down next. People are suing Steven Tyler.
They're saying that he assaulted her when she was a teenager. Whose mom let a teenager go backstage at an Aerosmith concert in the 70s? That's my second question. An arrogant passenger runs onto the tarmac demanding. Being let on the plane after showing up late, forcing the pilot to kill the engine, I would have gotten off the plane and beaten their A-double snake so bad they would have been unrecognizable to their family.
Oh my gosh, runs out on the tarmac.
So this is in Afghanistan, okay? Wait for the next plane. You didn't get there in time. Wait for the next plane. Youth smoking nears zero, but Biden still wants to ban menthols to protect kids.
By the way, can I just say? As Gen X, who has helped raise Gen Z. Not everyone in Gen Z is like this, but man, you guys, they've turned into little Puritans. We need some hellraisers. I'm not saying go out and smoke cigarettes, but they don't drink, they don't smoke.
I mean, it's like they're all, it's like a song, right? It's like that song, Don't Drink, Don't Smoke. I mean, I'm not saying to go get bad habits, but Touch grass, right? Just go out and touch some grass for a little bit. They're saying that youth smoking is nearing zero, blah, blah, blah.
Let's see here. The Hollywood sign turns 100 this year. LA is in no mood to party. Nobody cares LA. What is taring, Kane?
What? Taurine. Taring? Taring? Like what tar in a roof?
Are you talking about that? Like what they put in energy drinks? They said that they need. Yeah. They said the amino acid extended the lives of mice and worms.
Great news for mice and worms. Researchers, you know, if you want to live longer as a mouse or a worm, researchers are planting more tests than people. They said it could be a key to longer life. I don't believe that. Stick with us.
Black Rifle Coffee. I'm going to actually need more coffee. I mean, not need more beans. I'm going to need 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 and tank.
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. Uh, 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 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.

The United States is also working with the Inter-American Development Bank. to establish a fund for nature. To see more investment in nature-based climate solutions like debt for nature swaps and blue and green bonds. I supported a debt-for-nature swaps dating back to my time in the United States Senate, and this is a ripe area for considerable growth, in my view.
Investors are eager to support projects that are with demonstrated potential. and by providing early stage funding, the technical assistance. We will help more promising climate solutions get off the ground than ever before. The hell's a nature swab. Is that what I heard?
I think swap. Mr. Schwab. I heard sh I heard swab. like they swabbed the earth and some I don't know what that sounds like.
I'm not, I'm not, I don't know what I feel feel about that. Welcome back to the show. Dana Lashier. It's Friday. Steve was making fun of me on break because we were talking about how I wouldn't want to live forever because you just got to deal with this stupid you'd live forever with all the stupid people that could also live forever too.
Who would want that? He said that. But that's like the darkest thing he's ever heard. La la la la la. Happy Friday.
It's Friday. It's like a Monday on a Friday.
So we do things a little weirder in that. I don't really just, we just, we, we just sit down, we just talk about all the things in people we don't like.
So pull up a chair, get you a coffee, get you a soda, whatever it is that you got. You can listen to the radio show across the country. If you'd like to read with pictures, you can watch this. I'm joking. You can watch the simulcast as well.
If you're gonna get hate mail, 347 DirecTV, YouTube, where they there's always a rowdy riot in the comments every day there. And Facebook as well.
So What the hell did he say? That was nature swab, dude. I clearly heard that. Is that like some kind of new. Environmental things.
Or something. But yeah, he's talking. I don't know what the deal is with him outside of just what, dementia and old age. I don't know what else to say. Yeah, a nature swab.
Nature swab. I don't know what that is. Is that like a new green initiative? Swab the earth He can't move his he can't, it's like he doesn't have the muscle control to pull his top lip up and and enunciate better. It just all the meat on his face slides down and just falls into his teeth and he can't talk.
There's a sound bite. Callee. Man alive, I'm telling you what, somebody gives us a hunter's coke. It is a thing. What's the thing?
What? Yeah, or debt for client.
So you're you're claiming that he's saying swap. Yeah, swap. I feel like you're trying to make up something that he said so you can make it stupid and you can destroy him further. No, I've not that he needs help. That does track with what I normally do, but that is not what I'm doing here.
Okay. It's not what I'm doing here. It is a real thing. Debt for climate swaps and debt for.
Well, what is the debt for climate swap? What's that, Cam? I guess it's restructuring debt with the incentives. Behind the green agenda, right?
So it sounds like a racket. Yeah, it's like a government racket.
Okay, so my next question is: how do we get in on this? Super. Great question. Like the whole climate, what is it? What were they?
The carbon credits, which are basically indulgences? Modern-day greenie indulgences. Sure. You can go ahead and take that plane ride. Give me $1,000 and I'll plant you a tree.
Yeah, I'll plant you a tree. Debt for carbon swaps. I cannot belie people do people actually believe this? I mean, it's one thing if people actually believe it. It's something else entirely.
If They don't believe it and they just do it. To give the optic of going along because, look, we're part of the crowd, we're not causing any problems. We're a part of the Inquisition. Look at us, right? I don't know.
I just There's something to that. I don't know. I guess they really believe it. I don't know. It's just weird.
I still don't know if that's what he said, swap, but I'm willing to go with what. Your expert audio engineering ear heard, Kane. I appreciate that. It's like when can I just give you an aside and then I'm gonna move on 'cause I got other things to talk about.
So And I love my grandfather. And I'm not, that's not, I'm not paying that as a penance to get ready to rip him for something. God help me, I'm not. But he was such a he was such a rebel.
So he was, you know, World War Two vet, naval vet. And he ended up having to get dentures later in life. Man hated wearing dentures. The only time that he would put them in, they're for a while. was as if my grandma was around and was aggravating them about it.
Because she'd get at him all the time, you know, Howard, you got to put your teeth in. Because she told him that he had to get used to wearing them, and he didn't want to wear them. Right? And his doctor kept telling him you need to wear them.
So he quit seeing his doctor because he was like, I don't need those people to tell me what to do. This was the man who hated banks. And kept his money in a Bible that was unlocked, like one of the big giant family Bibles, like it comes with a case and everything. I don't even know where it came from. I think the Lord gave it to them when he was a boy.
I don't know. And kept it on the coffee table in the middle of the living room. And I'm just like, why would you do that? Because people are going to rob you. And he's like, no, heathen's going to open this.
It's fascinating. And he's right. Like, it never, ever, nobody ever took anything out of there. It was probably supernaturally protected. Anyway.
Long story short. He, you know. He just thought what he thought and believed what he believed. and he did not want to wear his teeth. And so when we were little, and we would sit at the dinner table, and I was at my grandparents a lot growing up because my mom had to work like three and four jobs.
And Would we would sit at the table, my favorite thing ever in the world was watching him eat mashed potatoes. 'Cause he wouldn't wear his teeth 'cause he said they hurt and he couldn't and he said that they they his teeth would just made the food weird. And so, and then he would sometimes spit it out at you, and it was hysterical. Like, he loved entertaining the grandkids at dinner. And so that was my favorite thing in the world.
It was like watching Nat Geo right there at the table. And sometimes she would, you know, gallita, Howard, you need to wear your teeth, et cetera, et cetera. And he would talk back to her and sound just like Joe Biden did just then. Without dentures and a mouthful of mashed tatties. Nobody knew what he said, but you could kind of get the gist of it.
And I just, when I heard Biden sit there and go, oh, natural is wrong. I'm like, grandpa. I don't know. It just, you know, brought back, except my grandpa was sentient. Biden isn't.
We don't know what's happening there. How dare you make fun of baby Hunter Biden's dad, Kane? You're so mean. Oh, I have another one from this morning. Oh, wait, yeah, that's right.
There's more. Can we hear some more man's potato market? I found it this morning, but it did happen last night. Same delivery. Yeah, listen to this.
And together, we're working to address historic levels of migration in the hemisphere.
Okay, can I pause it right there? Can I just pause it right there for a minute? 'Cause we we are going to talk about the border. What the hell is this? Record levels of migration.
These aren't geese. These aren't geese. Why do we talk about, why do we allow elected officials, well, there's the migration that's coming from the southern, they're not geese. They're people, including a Jordanian terrorist, by the way.
Okay, go ahead.
Sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt it. No, that's all right. Here we go. And together we're working to address historic levels of migration and a lot of people moving around and admire the way you handled it.
particularly the Venezuelan refugees, which you've set an example for the region. And uh So we embark on this next century partnership. Who the hell is hitting the table? That's the crackling fire. That's the fire?
That's the cracker. That sounds like someone's hitting a ruler on the table. There's a fire in the fireplace going in. Is there a metronome to keep him on beat? Is that what it looks like?
It looks like split oak logs. Crackling. Man, I want a actual wood burning fireplace. Can I just blow a hole in my ceiling and put one in? I'm not sure that's how it works.
I think I'm going to do that. I'm pretty sure it's how it works if I want to, because this is America. I have no idea where I'm going with that. What did he say there? I couldn't hear.
No one knows what he said. That was just. What does this voicemail sound like?
Okay. Mm-hmm. No joke.
So that's what it is. How dare you make fun of Baby Hunter's Dad? Baby Hunter Biden. This is cocaine. or crack.
One more sidebar and I got more things to do. I don't know the difference between Coke and crack. Is crack just like like uh the generic brand of Coke? I literally don't know. I know this was a big debate during the Whitney and Bobby era.
I don't know. With crack. It is cocaine, but it's cool. It is whack, I'm told. It's cocaine.
cooked in some way. The cocaine is not. I do not need an email explainer on this from the audience. In some way to make crack. And we're not giving those instructions out clearly.
I just, I. The reason I ask is because. I was just thinking like Are they different? And wouldn't he go? I mean, it's the Bidens.
Wouldn't they want to go for the bougiest drug he could be addicted to? Isn't that cocaine? Isn't that what all the bougie people in the 80s? That's what that's all the 80s movies I watched as a kid. That's all the bougie people.
All the the John Hughes stuff. Right? Yeah, I think it morphed into like heroin and other like even pharmaceutical type drugs. I'm just wondering. Anyway, uh c and also 'cause I didn't know whether what to attribute to him as a cokehead or crackhead.
Uh so s I mentioned the borders a little bit ago. I don't know if you guys heard this. pretty unbelievable story. A Jordanian national was arrested in Houston. Allegedly planning an attack on the Jewish community.
So he b ayubayash Up way ash. Twenty was studying how to build bombs. And like an like every other dumb terrorist, posted about his support for killing the Jews, Federal officials claim. He had very specific and detailed content posted by radical organizations on the Internet. And he made lots of statements talking about how he was going to kill Jewish people, gonna target the Jewish community.
I mean, I'm looking at him, he looks like a ton of fun. I mean, somebody skips leg day. I mean, when your thighs and your butt are completely dis and your midsection is completely disproportionate to the rest of your legs and your skinny little neck and no shoulders, that just means to me that you maybe need to talk less on the internet and work out in the gym more. But I digress.
So they said that He he got charged 'cause he's not here legally, or not here. He's not a citizen, so he's here on a non-immigrant visa. He he was in unlawful possession. And they apparently finally were monitoring his his activities since August. And they, but you know, it's a good thing that we have that Islamophobia outreach, Kane.
You know, maybe maybe that's maybe that's the goal of the vice president. is, you know, let's, you know, tell him that he doesn't have to go out and kill the Jews. Because, you know, He's, it's okay. You don't have to go. Is that what their whole outreach is?
Is that how they're approaching this? I'm curious. He was actually planning to attack the Houston Jewish community. And finally the FBI moved forward. They were gonna they went after him on an unlawful possession of firearms charge.
So this is where I might shock you. When you have people who are here On very with with great restrictions because he was here on a very specific type of uh allowance. And When you're posting about killing other members of our community. And you're talking about how to. I mean, I just think, you know what?
I'm just, let's just go ahead and just thump you right now. I am of the mind that So long as you are not a citizen of the country and you're talking about killing people in the country. Uh you're just volunteering to get thumped. Can I just point out as Juan is preparing to show? And I'm only doing this.
This guy is preparing to show this Jordanian terrorist picture in the simulcast. I've never seen anybody with no shoulders before like this. He looks like a child's drawing. Have you ever seen anything like that? He's fat.
He's not fit. He's fat. I mean, he's a chunk. Hey, he's muffined out all that. Man has no shoulders.
None. They slope right into his elbows. I again It's like he's like the human version of Elon Musk's electric truck. Like child's drawing come to life. That's what That's what he looks like.
So he's here on a non-imm was here on a non-immigrant visa. He couldn't legally obtain firearms, yet he had them. And he was just talking about going and he was being inspired by al-Qaeda and he was talking warmly of Hamas and he wanted to go and kill Jewish members of the community in Houston. Huh.
So now he's behind bars. on an unlawful possession of a firearm by someone with a non immigrant visa. He spoke of publicly of committing martyrdom, etc. I mean, he had very detailed plans. I mean, obviously, I would assume that they're working on charges with that, but you realize that there are certain forms of unprotected speech when you're talking about killing people on the internet that are not protected forms of speech and are legally actionable.
So I'm just curious as to why, especially with some of the stuff that's public about what he did post, why there were no charges on that. I mean, you could be a free speech purist, but when you're talking about Where you're going to go and how you're going to murder people, and that you're absolutely going to do it, and it's pretty immediate. Just saying.
So I don't know, live in peace or live in pieces. I think he should be sent back to his home country in bags. Multiple. The R50, if you haven't seen this, this thing is so awesome. It is their 5.7.
It started with the P50, which is an award winner. And so this is the rifle version of the same award-winning platform. You can get it in multiple barrel links, and they got all kinds of deets on it over at Keltechweapons.com. It's lightweight, it's accurate, it's just awesome. I mean, I have the P50, and the R50 offers, again, just like the P50, over seven inches of rail space.
So you got a wide range of optic options. Double stack mag comes with 250-round standard capacity double-stack mags that lays horizontally along the top. Light, well-balanced, easy to manipulate, super accurate, great fun on the range. But you know what? This is awesome for serious home protection as well.

Mm. Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. Mr. President, we look forward to welcoming you soon to the Dominican Republic at the next summit of the Americas in 2025. where we will continue to develop the bonds of prosperity, security and democracy that bind us together.
And that's all me. will be in Punta Cana, so you have time to be on the beach. Oh my gosh. That is the Dominican Republican uh Dominican Republic President Luis Abeneda who's telling Biden that the next Summit of Americas will be in Punicana. You'll get to be on the beat.
Wow. You know what? I mean Usually men don't. Don't slide into a put-down the way that women do. But it is, I think, a Just a mark of high intelligence when they do.
And that was, that was like a straight lady-level put-down, dude. That was, I gotta. Gotta give gotta give props for that, man. That was well done.
Well done, sir.
Well done. All right, so this is what we got coming up for you in our second hour this Friday. We're getting you set up. Candy corn's the best candy. I'm just gonna make you mad, make you pay attention right there.
We're also gonna get into all of the latest, the paws. That the Biden administration is trying to float. Democrat support for Israel is crumbling. What does that mean for Biden? We got all that and more.
Stick with us. The White House has said it will veto any bill that doesn't include both Israel and Ukraine. House Speaker Mike Johnson has said that he wants to do Israel first alone and then move on to Ukraine and the U.S. border. What is the path forward there, and is there room for the White House to negotiate on U.S.
border immigration issues in that package?
Well, first of all, we're not negotiating that, and we've been very clear that. We must. stand by the role of the United States. as it relates to our global responsibility to uphold and defend international rules and norms and what is right. And so our proposal is that there be aid given to both.
places to Israel and to Ukraine. And we are standing by that, as you have said. The President has been very clear. If any bifurcation of that should occur, he will veto the bill that you have referred to. But let's also be clear that these folks who want to be considered as leaders in the midst of global crises of a proportion we have not seen in a very long time are playing political games.
with people. I am really trying hard here. Uh how much is it? She is saying that She was trying to explain. the move from like why POTUS would veto standalone funding for Israel.
Um Cain, I'm that hurt me.
Okay. don't understand what what was your point? I mean, what was her point? She's trying to explain why he would do it and she didn't. She was just like, Well, if there's the division of it, then yeah, he's you know, um, things and stuff and um unburdened by what has been, love and diagrams.
Oh my gosh, what else? What else? Welcome to the show. Dana Lash here with you. I can't believe we're already at the top of the second hour.
What is happening? I just read a story about racist clouds, and here we are at the top of the second hour. It's like if you get on Pinterest, I boycott Pinterest, not because they've done anything, just because it sucks your life away.
So, again, you can listen coast to coast. I've had a lot of caffeine. Thank you, Black Rifle Coffee. Blame them. Uh the uh simulcast Channel 347.
Uh direct TV, YouTube, Facebook, listen to the show, blah blah blah. Yeah, I'll get to the racist cloud thing in a moment. But I'm just trying to figure out what in the world she was saying there. It just doesn't make any Sense to me, but okay. They're talking about this proposal.
Why can't they do a standalone proposal? Oh, because the support, because nobody wants to give any more money to Ukraine. We have no idea where our money is going. It's just a black hole. It's a it's it's the Yeah.
Almost went to where I shouldn't. It's just a giant black hole. We'll leave it at that. Nobody knows where the where the money is. Uh they don't really have anything to show for it.
I think that's safe to say. Yeah, that's safe to say. That's it. Yeah, they don't have anything else to show for it.
Okay, yeah. Oh, there you go.
So, um You know what, this? I was having a conversation. Actually, my friend Glenn Beck, I saw him at an event. uh we had an event with Patriot Mobile uh for ten years. Celebrating the service that they provide.
And they're just such a, I mean, I know all of these people. Like, I know where they live. I know all these people, and they're all so sweet. And I'm not sitting here telling you about Patriot Mobile. We were talking about how everything is horrible.
And our mutual friend is Mark Levin. And I love Mark Levin. Like, I wish Mark Levin was like my uncle. He's so awesome and so cool, and he never leaves his house. And Glenn was laughing about that, and he's like, You're kind of getting into that.
And I'm like, getting into that? I am that. I am a hobbit. Like, I don't. And I love, I am, what people don't understand about me is I am a situational extrovert.
If you get me into a group of people where there's like four and I have to talk, you are going to be mystified at how I make a living on air because it is the most difficult. I'm just, I don't know what to do with my hands. What do I do? I don't know how to talk with people. But I can get in front of a thousand people and it's fine.
It's the weirdest thing ever. And it just gets, I just get real odd. And I like, I'm, I, I don't know if it's because I grew up a latch key kid. And I spent some of my formative years in the evening alone doing homework and making mac and cheese. I just I like being alone.
I like being with my fam family. I like being with my dog. I like being alone. And um I love all of you, but you know, it's just like you get you know, you just like to r retreat to your little hobbit hole. And He was started kind of laughing at me, making fun of me about that too.
And I'm like, but have you, but do you blame me? Look at everything that's happening in the world. Look at everything that's happening. When you do decide to leave. then somebody gets mad because of what's on your pancake syrup.
So you go back in your hidey hole. And then when you decide to come out again, somebody else is mad at the clouds.
Now I'm going to tell you about the racist clouds. I'm not making this up.
So Kane, where do you think That I found this story. Give me a website. Where do you think? Oh. Like, what kind of website would this be on?
Racist Cloud? Racist Cloud, it'd probably be on something like. salon or Space.com. Media Met. What?
Yeah. The space site. What? I don't know nothing about no clouds. I'm going to be honest with you right now.
I don't know anything about. I mean, I know Ferdinand Magellan, but that's it. I don't know Magellanic cloud stuff. I don't know. So here's this I hate everything.
Here's the headline. Am I saying this correctly? Magellanic clouds must be renamed. say astronomers. Why?
In September, astronomer Mia de Lo Reyes published an op-ed in the Journal of APS Physics representing a coalition of astronomers calling for the renaming of two iconic deeply studied and shiny shining irregular galaxies near the Milky Way. One of these star studded realms. is named the large Magellanic Cloud. and the other, for reasons you'd probably expect, is called the small one. But most importantly, they're named after Ferdinand Magellan.
And Magellan, the Portuguese explorer, he's a big he enslaved indigenous people, indigenous people who also enslaved other indigenous people. It's true. And he was the first person to set out to circumnavigate the globe.
Now, De La Rais's article states that Magellan's journey describes how he enslaved some indigenous people who are in Argentina, etc., and he said villages blazing Guam and la.
So, you know, he, you know, he did basically he was no different than all of the other indigenous populations that also enslaved other indigenous populations and beheaded indigenous populations and made human sacrifices of other members of indigenous populations. Because I love the idea that war and evil is imported from the Portuguese or anyone else in Europe. Everyone was do you know that, Kane? Everyone here in the Americas was peaceful and they lived in perfect harmony. There was no human, it was all perfect, there was no everything was wonderful and peaceful, and everyone lived in harmony and yellow brick roads, and we all had lollipops, everybody had lollipops, all my ancestors.
Except that didn't happen. Who was it? one of the explorers, they were a a missionary. Weren't they with the Catholic Church that came in and they were uh it was in South America and they were describing the stench. of one of the uh structures they were in because of the human sacrifices.
And that's when they tried chocolate for the first time, but they also, it was the stench of the bodies and Yeah. Blood stained everything.
So one guy Is bad because he did that.
Okay, that's bad. But all the other people who did it are bad too, except no, they're not. That's like when people get all upset over Mount Rushmore and they say, Oh, stolen land, stolen from who? The other 5,000 nations that lived there before that nation stole it?
So they want to cancel The nae they wanna they wanna cancel Magellan. Oh my gosh, everything is stupid. Everything is stupid.
So they want to cancel him because of What about the someone asked, what about the m uh Magellanic penguins too? I didn't even know literally that they were called that. I knew who Magellan was. I didn't know that these galaxies were called that. I only have so much time in my life and room in my brain for things.
Right.
So the thing I just learned about is cancelled. It's gonna get cancelled. I mean you could I just not. and go on and try to solve other problems. I mean, you you could do that.
But you know, you still have. I mean, Who cares about that? You got the Robert Byrd Greenbank telescope in Greenbank, Virginia. In West Virginia, but hey, that's okay because he's a Democrat. I mean, yeah, he was like a, wasn't, what was he a magical.
Cinotaur with a clan or something, Minotaur, mini Minotaur. I don't know. What was he? Second tower? I don't know.
What do they have like? Aren't they all named after mythical and the Democrat activist arm? Yeah, you're right. I'm not sure. Like Gorlock?
I don't know what I don't know what it is. And But yeah, they have the Robert C. Byrd Telescope, the Robert Byrd telescope. Do they cover? They cover it with a sheet.
I don't know. Uh, anyway. But it's D different.
Next stars are racist. I joke, but that's going to happen.
So, you know, I just think that Um Yeah, this is why, you know, go to go back. This is kind of like why I, you know, like to be in my hospital and stay home. And there's there's there's no It's like you you have no this is why we all gather together every day with the show. Because there's nowhere else you can go, even on your own side. If you look around on your own side, This is what you see, people arguing over boots.
And and reportedly straight men on the right being obsessed with other dudes' feet. I don't get it. I mean, you know, you got potential biblical stuff happening over in the Middle East, but hey. I'll tell you what.
Now The story that I was sharing with you earlier, let me pull this up. Which I'm still shocked that we even have to say, Hey, what about the border? Because we have the we we knew that we had Iranian nationals that came in that were on terror lists.
Now we had this Jordanian national who was arrested for wanting to plan a terror attack at the uh in Houston. And Remember Is it was it climate change that's the biggest, scariest thing in the world? And also they got to do Islamophobia outrage. Here's a question that I had about the Islamophobia outreach thing. Because it was they really just announced it and they started pushing it this week.
Is it? to try to make us feel better. About Islamo fascists who want to kill us. Or is it to quell Peoples something that doesn't actually exist right now. I d I'm trying to figure that out.
Because I hear stuff like the Jordanian terrorist who wants to target a Jewish community in Houston, and I'm like, Well, there's a phobia there for sure, but is it being described accurately by the administration? Huh.
I just got a lot of questions. A lot of questions about that. In the meantime, with Israel. The pause the great pausing We're going to talk about that coming up. We have headlines on the way as well.
I told you the racist cloud thing was true. We're also going to get into how Hunter Biden signed off. On a burizma memo to the Ukrainian prosecutor who replaced Viktor Shokin, warning them not to continue further investigations. But how dare you bring this up? Because cocaine.
You're not supposed to talk about any of this stuff, you know. That's that's the rules. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. So, according to UPI, a study was done about the state of democracy and they said it's declined worldwide.
I mean, when you look at the way this administration's gone after freedom of speech and freedom of assembly and everything else, it's not incredibly shocking to see that. Target CEO says shoppers are pulling back even on groceries. They're pulling back on everything, he says. Even on, they said they're trying to take a more conservative approach to inventory. Uh, also, maybe can you make your bathrooms normal again?
Uh, they said that they're doubling. I haven't, I don't actively avoid the target, but now. Knowing that. You know, if I were to use their restroom and a dude would walk up in there, do they still do that? I just can't abide, man.
I hate going in anywhere because again, I hate almost, I just don't like it. I just want to stay in my hobbit hole and order things in my house. Is that bad? I don't care. They said that they're taking a more conservative approach.
They said shoppers are pulling back on everything because everybody's broke. Everybody is broke. That's why. And they're all broke. Thanks, Piton.
Jersey reduced to a disaster zone after a 100 mile per hour storm. Sarin, Winds Hammered the Island. They've been dealing with some stuff that you never really hear about, like. Storms that hit the British Isles. You never really hear about anything like that, but they had a tour, it was like a tornado that was linked to a storm.
And they've had all kinds of debris, etc., happening. It's just, it's kind of wild.
So, hmm. Siren. That sounds like a friendly storm. All right, 92-year-old breaks a world record, becomes the oldest person to hike the Grand Canyon rim to rim. You know, some days I feel like really great when I'm, you know, like I curl my hair.
Uh then I need to 92-year-old, breaks a world record, oldest person to hike the Grand Canyon rim to rim. His name is Alfredo. Aliaga. He broke the Guinness World record and he said he's already looking forward to next year's trek. Yeah, he said it took him two days and more than 21 hours of hiking.
He surpassed the previous record holder and became the oldest to complete the 24-mile journey from North Rim to South Rim. And he said it's uh he looks super healthy. He's apparently not, this wasn't his first rim to rim hike either. He's shown it before, but uh, he, the last time was in 2022.
So, yeah, he likes going to the Grand Canyon. He likes, you know, he's got his sticks, he's got his, you know, all the looks. He looks exactly like you would expect a hiker to look. I'd totally let him be my guide. Yeah, he could do that.
Very cool. Very cool. Also, Uh, a couple of other things to hit here. Uh, we also have touched on this because we've been talking about all the uh situations with the Jordanian, the guy who was arrested at the Jordanian national as well. And then we have uh 12 dead, four in critical condition after they drank homemade liquor at a wedding party.
Oh gosh, homemade moonshine. We'll talk more about that here coming up. We also have Chip Roy coming up next. 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.
Ukraine will come in short order. It will come next. And you've heard me say that we want to pair border security with Ukraine because I think we could get bipartisan agreement on both of those matters. Look, the American people feel very strongly about this, and I do as well. And I can tell you how Republicans do.
We have obligations and we have things that we. Can and should do around the world, but we have to take care of our own house first. And as long as the border is wide open, we're opening ourselves up for a great threat. And again, it's just a matter of principle. If we're going to take care of a border in Ukraine, we need to take care of America's border as well.
And I think there's bipartisan support for that idea. We're going to get right to that.
Now, because I can already hear some people weeping and gnashing of the teeth. I get what Johnson's doing here, and that's Speaker Mike Johnson. Welcome back to the program. Daniel Lash here with you, bottom of the second hour. Listen coast to coast across the country, watch the simulcast 347 direct TV.
I get what he's doing here because he's playing chicken. And he's saying, look, if you're going to do this, if you're going to push this towards Ukraine, okay, let's tie it to the border. Let's see how serious you are. Joining us on this now. Our good friend, excellent representative from Texas, Congressman Chip Roy, always good to see you, sir.
Do I have that accurate? Because, I mean, it makes sense. Like, if they're, you know, okay, Democrats, you're insisting on Ukraine.
Okay, we're insisting on the border.
So let's see how serious you are. Yeah, Dana, first of all, good to be on. And yeah, that's exactly what's happening. Let's take these in order for one second. The House of Representatives, led by Republicans, just passed a funding bill for Israel to support our allies in Israel, $14.5 billion.
Uh, and we did so by using a large pot of money that is sitting over here designed to expand the IRS to target the American people. 12 Democrats joined us in the House. You know, the swamp didn't think that would happen. But because a lot of Democrats want to decide with the IRS and expanding the IRS over standing with Israel.
Now we'll see what Chuck Schumer and what President Biden did. Will they choose Israel? Will they choose the IRS? We want to get busy doing our job, make sure we're paying for this stuff as we go. Stop harassing the American people and let's go help Israel.
The second thing we're going to be working on is figuring out how to get our appropriations bills passed. We just passed the seventh. We hope to pass a few more next week. And uh we might entertain a stop cap bill, but only one that will Force us to do our work with appropriations bills. We'll see what the Senate does, they're not going to like that.
Now the third thing you're talking about. Ukraine and the border. We need to secure the border. That is an absolute prerequisite for anything that we're going to do to fund anything about Ukraine. And Mike Johnson.
very wisely is making that clear. We don't know whether we should support Ukraine or not. We need more briefing on it in terms of how's it being used, corruption, where's the money going, what's our stockpiles look like? Make that case, but only if you're securing our border first. That's what Mike is saying.
So if there's going to be a movement of a Ukraine vehicle, it's going to have to be proved. that they're doing the right thing with the money and it's gonna have to be paid for. Out of the Inflation Reduction Act and all the subsidies for rich white liberals who want to mess up our energy supply. and we're going to have to make sure that our border is secure. This is what your new majority in the House of Representatives looks like under the leadership of Speaker Johnson.
And we're going to keep working to accomplish this thing. That sounds perfectly reasonable. I think that that all sounds just perfectly reasonable, the proposals put forward. Although you got to get the Senate to go along with it. And the Senate, as you know, Congressman, they're having a bit of difficulty, particularly with one senator.
And I have seen so many, I got to say, I'm so shocked to have seen some of the Republicans in the House and the Senate. Go off on Senator Tommy Tubberville because he is standing and saying, Look, we're not going to have taxpayer-funded abortion on demand for service members. It's birth control. We're not doing this stuff. And they could do this, as I understand it.
They could just do these confirmations one by one, but they want to do it en masse. And that's what he's fighting against. Talk to me about that because I got to tell you, I was really mad to see some of the Republicans that I saw go after him for this. Yeah, it was disgraceful. There's no other way to put it.
I saw senators take the floor. who went down and frankly lied to the American people. And they were attacking the honor of Coach Tuberville, who's been standing in the breach, saying that we should not be funding abortion tourism, that the American people never signed up for that. And in fact, it's contrary to existing law, and that this administration is violating the law. These members of the Senate, as Republicans, almost all of whom have run as pro-life Republicans.
are bismirging the reputation of Coach Tupperbill. doing what the American people want us to do, which is stand up and defend the law and defend life.
So I stand with Coach Tuberville. I hope he'll keep holding the line.
Now, some of those same Republicans. Who lied, by the way, and went to the Senate floor and said that this was about having a vote on the floor. No, no, it is Tupperville who wants to have a vote. They want unanimous consent. He has an election certificate from the people of Alabama and the free will to use it and not have his unanimous consent be assumed.
If that's the case, you force a vote. That's it. So the House passed a conservative national defense authorization bill and a DOD appropriations bill, which prohibit and defund abortion tourism.
So the question now is: will House Republicans stand with Coach Tubberville? And life, or will they stand with the defense establishment and those who want to roll life and just go campaign on it?
So, hopefully, we'll do the right thing and hold a lot. I hope so. We're talking with Congressman Chip Roy out of Texas. I'm looking at this because all of the, when you look at surveys, particularly for taxpayer-funded abortion, which is exactly what the issue is with us. The majority of Americans, I think some of the last surveys I saw, RCP had an average going for a while.
They're not for that. I mean, they don't think that this is, you know, as you were talking about, abortion tourism, especially funded by the taxpayers, this is not something they're in favor of, even if you're looking at moderate Democrats or Republicans.
So I don't know why your colleagues in the Senate are having such a hard time with the messaging on this.
Well, it's because the Senate Republican leadership and Senate Republicans broadly too often listen to the swamp and listen to the defense contractors. And like to give lip service that they're conservatives, that they're running on border security, or that they're running on protecting life. But when push comes to shove, they're not going to stand alongside Coach Tupperville. Frankly, only a few members of the Senate have gone down to the floor in defense of Coach Tuberville. More should.
He's doing the right thing.
Now, they may try to jam us with changing a rule change in the Senate next week to try to jam Coach Tuberville. Really? And try to make it to where they can force these through. That's the rumor I'm hearing. I hope.
House Republican through the speaker. We'll send a loud message to the Senate. You might trader road, cut, roll, cut, coach Tumberville. But we're going to demand a National Defense Authorization Act and appropriations for defense that stop this unlawful and frankly immoral of funding of abortion tourism that the American people don't want us to fund, no matter what you believe about abortion. We shouldn't be having taxpayer funds.
It's a long-standing tradition under the Hyde Amendment. and our principles that we're not going to take taxpayer funds. It's on abortion, and we shouldn't do it here. I want to switch gears and ask you about the pause, the language that the administration is trying to use so they don't say the word ceasefire and get into more trouble. This pause that Anthony Blinken has been talking about, that Kamala Harris, we had a weird, I'm not even going to play that because we couldn't make heads or tails of it.
It's a weird word salad soundbite from her. None of our audience could understand what she was trying to get at. But is this the administration? being influenced by the ideology, the the squad ideology, its base, and being forced to kind of back away from standing with Israel against this attack from Hamas. Like what is the thinking on this?
Yeah, well I think uh Joe Biden is starting to feel sweet. He's in quite the predicament. Because he's getting pushed by the radical elements of the Democratic Party who do not want to stand with Israel, who do not want to defend American national security interests through Israel. And yes, that's the squad. And yes, that includes Rashida Betalib, who we can talk about in a minute.
But the bottom line here is that these guys, the administration, are trying to walk away from Israel. and they talk about things like a ceasefire when in fact Israel has a clear mission. And that is to destroy Hamas. They have tried to work in good faith over the last 15 years, working with Gaza, down there, knowing exactly the kind of dangers and all the tunnels and all the infrastructure, knowing that Hamas uses Billions as you know, shields, human shields and hospitals. They've got their headquarters under a hospital.
And now Israel has said, hey guys, we're serious. We're going to give you time. We're going to be civil about this. We're going to do everything we can for humanitarian interests and not. hit targets that we don't want to hit, but we're taking you out, Hamas.
And the people in Gaza need to know that. Palestinians, whether they're in Gaza or throughout other areas, they need to understand that. And so this administration wants to kind of. You know, have their cake and eat it too and placate their extreme elements of their party while allegedly. standing by Israel, but they're doing no such thing.
They're just worked. They want to fund Palestinians and fund Hamas to the United Nations. They want to continue to fund our adversaries. They want to continue to allow Iran to make billions giving oil to China without sanctioning them. They don't want to go after the $6 billion in Qatar.
This is nonsense. This administration is not standing with Israel. And frankly, I think it's important that our bill that we sent to the Senate, they take it up, pass it, and it's paid for and get it done. Don't sign with the IRS instead of Israel. Yeah, we're talking with Congressman Chiproy.
I'm only going to ask one thing about the Tlaib stuff because I want to go into the border situation, especially with this Jordanian national and then we have the Iranian nationals that were discovered having crossed illegally. I know that there was an effort to censure her because it seems like, you know, just talking about the squad's influence on the administration and they're backing away from Israel. I mean, it does embolden all of it. What was the thinking behind? Because whenever you and people like Thomas Massey and others sort of take a very interesting position, that's where we'll use the word pause correctly.
I do take pause there because you guys don't really do anything haphazardly. Talk a little bit about that, the Tlaib censure, just why it came to the way it did. Yeah, yeah, first of all, look, Rashida Tlaib has certainly engaged in conduct that merits our attention.
Okay. She has said things that are reprehensible. Her own Democratic colleagues have talked about her anti-Semitic rhetoric, that she has been siding with our enemies over the United States, that she's siding with Hamas over Israel, that she's been defending conduct that is totally indefensible, that she's dismissing and just saying that, you know, the conduct of beheading people and slaughtering babies and all of the rapes and the murders that we saw on October 7th. That's just resistance. I'm sorry, that's a step beyond normal just speech and what you do in speech and debate.
You are siding with our enemies, and that is conduct unbecoming a member of Congress. Let me be clear. A lot of us were talking about the nature of whether that's censurable conduct. We're having a debate about that. I think it probably rises to censorable conduct.
But what doesn't is when you draft a resolution that is highly flawed. And it has a lot of negative consequences. For example, with all due respect to my colleague from Georgia, I have no interest in getting into a back and forth with her about this. I just voted on a piece of legislation that I thought was badly flawed and badly drafted because it went in and defined insurrection as something that's not an insurrection. That will undermine people who are then gone after for something that wasn't an insurrection.
So, in this case, you had Jewish people who are for a ceasefire. I disagree with them, I think they're crazy. But they were Jewish people who were for a ceasefire who came into this building I'm in right now, Canon, and took over the rotundum. That wasn't an insurrection. They might have violated some laws.
They might have been punished or prosecuted, but it wasn't an insurrection, and words matter. These are legal terms that can be used, as we know in January 6th, for purposes that aren't necessarily good. I'm not going to vote because it's politically expedient. ever. Let me be very clear to all of the people out there who are all in a kerfuffle.
I will not vote for something because it's politically expedient. I will do my job in a republic. as the representative to 750,000 Texans. to follow the law. follow the Constitution and to make a level-headed judgment about what's before me.
There may be additional legislation coming. Not going to get in front of that yet, but we've got to do our job. But let me be very, very clear. Rashida Tlaib has said things that absolutely are unbecoming of members of Congress and deserve a response. And we're all talking about it and working on it.
Yeah. Now we're talking with Congressman Chipper. I have one more question for you, and that makes sense too. We cannot forfeit ground on language because that invokes penalties. I mean, we all see that.
The Iranian nationals that have crossed over the southern border illegally, we had a story out of another foreign national looking to commit an act of terrorism in New York. And then the thing that came out this morning about this Jordanian national who was arrested in Houston for plotting an attack on the Jewish community.
So here we have four different instances of terror found in the United States. I know the administration is focusing on Islamophobia, but it looks like we have a problem here. And then you have Iran saying that, well, if things kick off, if America doesn't back down, you're not going to need your ships. You're not going to need your air cover. You're not going to need any of that.
I wanted to kind of get your just last thoughts on that because we've left ourselves open for that kind of action here because of the border. One of the reasons why I think the speaker is correct, and why we and the Freedom Caucus and otherwise here in the Republican Congress have been pushing for tying the border security to Ukraine and, frankly, other things. is that we are in danger right now. We had myorcus and the DHS finally acknowledge recently. to 600,000 plus.
uh gotaways that they had not heretofore really been willing to acknowledge. And that is a shy, that is a number that is frankly way shy of the number we believe it actually is. And the well over a million, a million and a half, maybe two million gotaways. Because you can't get an exact count. But the number of releases, the number of people getting paroled into the country without getting the thorough background checks you'd fully need.
All in the false name of asylum and using parole and using all of these bastardized forms of our existing law. That is endangering us. There are numbers. I have seen stuff that I can't publicly comment because there are some classified information. But these are Countries, right?
The number of people coming from dangerous countries is going up. and we are seeing it in real time at the border. It is a problem. You just noted the Jordanian in Houston and others. There's been myriad examples, Chinese nationals.
We've had a bunch of people we've caught that are on the record and publicly known to have come from FARC and Columbia, which are terrorist type, you know, dangerous individuals there. But this is a real problem, and we saw which is what happened. with Hamas and with Israel. That was a very low-tech invasion.
Okay, you know, they came in on, you know, gliders, right? And they came in and just started massacring people. It wasn't shooting missiles at people. They just came in and jumped in and started slaughtering people. We are endangering the American people by having open borders.
And this is something that I've said is impeachable conduct by my orcas. I would argue at the extent to which it is now, that it's going all the way to the White House in terms of impeachable conduct. They know what they're doing and they're doing it intentionally.
So we've got to keep exposing it and we've got to fight it. We should use the power of the person as best we can to fight it. I appreciate you fighting that good fight. And I appreciate your candor and all these other on these other issues as well. You're always straight, no chase or very straightforward.
Congressman Chiproy, always good to talk with you. Have a great weekend. Thanks so much. Thanks, Dana. You too.
Howdy, Chris and everybody. Take care. We'll do. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man.
I have so many awkward Florida man stories right now. I don't know what was happening over Halloween, but apparently it was going down. It's all I'm gonna say. All right, so first up, uh, a Florida mom was arrested when her seven-year-old entered the bar to fire find her following hours left alone in an unlocked car. That's never good.
Florida mom left her seven year old in the car while she was out getting drunky drunk at a local bar. According to the Land Police Department, Veronica Elliott was charged with child neglect. Seven year old girl walked up to the bar looking for her mom. She had been left in the car, dark parking lot, no lights. And it was literally 2.58 a.m.
They the girl yeah, it was like before it was in the middle of the night. Yeah. I'm like, first off, I didn't know that. Did the bar stay open that late there? I just didn't know that.
That's kind of wild.
So, a Florida man tried to circumcise his two-year-old cousin while babysitting. Dude, I don't even know. This is one of the goofy, this is one of the craziest stories. Holly Hill, Florida, a Florida man found himself behind bars. He allegedly tried to circumcise his two-year-old cousin while babysitting him.
Timothy's Powell. was arrested and charged with aggravated child abuse. Maybe some prison justice will befall him. Stay with us, third hour on the way. But how can you ask for a ceasefire?
How can you ask for Israel to stop their aggression when you go on television in Lebanon here last week and say that you will continue your aggression? You will continue to... What do you want us to do? To stop? If you're asking for a ceasefire.
If you're asking for a ceasefire, I am talking that we want to f continue against occupation. This is our national our our our legal right to fight against occupation. It is according to international law, according to all the regulations in the world. It is in Europe you fight against a narcissist.
So that's the leader of Hamas. You know what? I got to say, kudos to that reporter who asked him, asked the leader of Hamas something no other person in the media has asked. Kudos. I mean, dude, kudos to that guy.
And he looked him right in the face and said, How are you telling how are you demanding for a ceasefire when you won't cease firing? And you heard the leader of Hamas's response, sitting on his big fat ass in his palace in Qatar. Oh, well, you know, what do you want us to do? Oh, it's occupation. You're not occupied, dude.
You are so not occupied. Welcome back to the show. Dana Lash here with you at Top of this Third Hour. You can listen coast to coast. You can stream the syndicated radio program in a city near you, town near you.
You can watch the simulcast channel 347, direct TV, YouTube, Facebook as well. Sign up for the newsletter over at Substack chapter and verse, all kinds of good stuff that goes out there on the reg.
So the uh I love that the question asked so directly there. And of course, the leader said, Well, you know, what do you want us to do? Do you want to? I mean, it's not occupation. And we went over that in depth yesterday, how in 2005 Israel unilaterally pulled out.
They left everything behind, including hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of greenhouse infrastructure. I mean, that was like one of the biggest providers that area for Israel up to that time of organic produce. Hamas took it over. They won the election. They were elected.
They won elections. They beat out FATA with Gazans and they won elections there. FATA and the Palestinian Authority were running West Bank. You had Hamas running Gaza, and they won elections. And from that time on, they took all of the resources, all of the air in the room, and they spent it on creating a 300-mile labyrinth of a tunnel system going into Israel so they could send suicide bombers, etc.
They bought rockets, they bought munitions. And then when they were running out of money to do that, they went in and they actually dug up. Water pipes and they fashioned those into crude rockets, which is why so many of them exploded in Gaza before they ever actually were sent off into the airspace of over Israel. They would dig up, they dug up sewage pipes. When they were sent actual hard resources, like actual pipes to improve the existing infrastructure, they took those and fashioned those into what they called bombs with wings.
So This is Gaza, is Hamas runs Gaza. Hamas is responsible for the situation in Gaza. And yet, everyone wants. Uh no one tells Hamas to stop their ceasefire. No one none nobody even points out that, you know, this could have been avoided if they would have just released the hostages that they kidnapped when they went in and killed 1400 plus people.
No one talks about that. There's no occupation there. That's all Hamas. Hamas, when you ask them, when you really drill it down and you ask them about occupation and you say, well, what is occupied? They literally will say, from the river to the sea, they're talking about Israel.
When you really drill it down, The occupation they're talking about isn't limited to the West Bank. They're not talking about Gaza Strip, they're talking about all of Israel. And saying how they need to leave. They're colonizers. Hamas and Fatah and Palestinian Authority.
They're colonizers. And Palestine is a fake country. It's a non-existent country that's not supported the name in thousands of years of antiquity. There's not a Palestine people. It was a spiteful name given as revenge against the Jews by Hadrian after he quelled the second Judean uprising and named it Syria Philistina after the Philistines, who were Greek, by the way, and had not been in the area for hundreds of years.
So it, I mean, it's all a troll. It's a giant troll on the world's civilization, and it's colonization, is what it is.
So. And there's a reason why no other Arab countries want to allow anyone from these areas run by this authority in their space. I mean, do you know what they were doing in the tunnels under Rafa?
So, in Egypt, because the tunnels that are in Gaza, and it's accurate, like 300 miles, labyrinth of these tunnels, pitch black. Optics don't even work down there. And on the Egypt side, Egypt would actually. flood the tunnels going there with sewage and seawater.
So that no one could come up under Rafah and get into Egypt. In Israel, they developed these things that they called sponge bobs. And they it would be like a bag of uh that had a a tab on it and they would drop it down in these tunnels and it when it would go off, it would uh uh expand with this like hardened foam and fill up that fill up that area. to make it temporarily impassable.
So That's what Hamas has spent all of their money on. There's no occupation. There's no such thing as an occupation. There's no such thing. If people want to talk about this in terms that are real, If they want to create their own nation apart from all of their other Arab neighbors, this isn't the way to do it.
You don't just try to conjure up out of the ether a history of people that didn't exist. I that's that's Just like we don't try to conjure up a brand new gender out of men and women. Because there is history and there's science and we have facts and we have real items. And now you have the administration blinking. Oh, a pause.
There's not going to be a pause. There shouldn't be a pause. I was reading this is more of this Hamas propaganda. People keep saying, oh, there was a missile strike that hit an ambulance. Look at this and there are these images being shared.
Do you know what it was? It was debunked online. I actually shared part of this. They're not images of a missile strike. It was a car accident where an ambulance hit a horse.
And it happened some years ago. Like Reuters even said this. Reuters put this out. They said the health ministry in Gaza, you know what the health ministry in Gaza is? It's Hamas.
That's Hamas. They're literally quoting Hamas. They're quoting Hamas propaganda. They're sharing these images, which they say are a missile strike. And I mean, it's pointed out that there's no blast damage to anything.
There's no crater, no smoke, no fire. It was literally an ambulance that hit a horse in a second car. It was a car accident. And it was like several it's like several years old. And this is being sent around.
By Hamas. Through their what they their made-up health ministry, and Reuters and others are actually running with it as though it's gospel truth.
Now they deleted the video, but they still have pictures up in different areas. They're like, oh, this strike, Israel hit these people. It is an absolute lie. And the photos predate this by, like I said, a couple years. Reuters is running with us now.
Like right now. Two hours ago, right at the start of our radio program, is when they posted this. That's insane. This is the stuff they're doing. They do this.
Notice how none of these people, however. Notice how none of these people, however, are talking about The road In southern Gaza. leading towards Egypt, where there it's littered with the dead bodies of women and children and and men, Gazan residents who were trying to walk out of Gaza. And there's no crater on the ground. There were there was no missiles, no nothing in the airspace there.
It was Hamas that was sniping them. Shooting at them. Dropping them down to the asphalt. Hamas kills its own people. Hamas uses its own people as shields.
So whenever anyone says, oh, this humanitarian crisis, Hamas created a humanitarian crisis. And the people that keep telling everyone else to cease fire You people are, in my opinion, if you want to be frank, I feel like they are approaching Hamas levels of culpability. Because you people drag this out. You prolong it. Out of uh after decades of this.
The reason that we're still in this position are because of those sorts of people. They want everyone else to stop. except for Hamas. Everyone else has to be held accountable, except for Hamas. I heard the story of Can You Believe that Netanyahu wanted to keep Hamas broke?
Yeah, you're telling me that Netanyahu and other Israelis wanted to keep the terrorist group that has done nothing since assuming power of trying to kill Israelis and successfully killing Israelis, that they wanted to keep Hamas broke. Wow. So shocking. You ever-loving morons. Why don't you mention that at its inception Hamas includes rejection of a two-state solution in its charter while you're at it?
These people are so stupid. I see these people out there with the picnic blankets on their heads, screaming in fa chants about river to the sea and all this Hamas propaganda. I mean, it's the stupidest people alive. This is why aliens don't visit us, because they probably look at the ignorance and think it's they think it's communicable. In some instances, with this propaganda, it is.
Shameful. Absolutely shameful. I keep seeing the uh and I'm sure you saw these images too. It's it's I I've seen a lot of people sharing it. Of the Uh would you hide me, I would images?
A lot of my Jewish friends have been sharing it. and people in support of them. I Can't even imagine in 2023 even having this conversation, particularly in the United States of America. I'm going to tell you what. There are going to be the real.
FAFO people. I'm not saying this to You know, try to inspire fear and terrorist apologists. I'm just telling you how this goes. There are real FAFO people out there. Who want to go about their lives?
They want their neighbors to live in peace. They want to live in peace. And they don't want to be bothered. But by God, you push them to the point. Where they are bothered?
Those are the real FAFO people. And they will kid up. And this problem will be taken care of before it ever gets to the point. Were any American in this country has to feel like they have to hide. Because of their faith.
Because of what they believe. And that's with the rest of us taking them to the range and making sure that they're trained and that they're equipped to kick the teeth into anyone who would make them feel like they have to hide here in the country that our family members shed blood to keep free. Those the real FAFO people, they're not out there talking big games on the internet. They're not trying to be influencers. They're not out there trying to do any of that stuff.
They're just living their lives. Those are the people. That's the bear you don't poke. And when you do, there is no calming it down. Audio Soundbite 11, Anthony Blinken.
He keeps going on with this two-state solution. But Hamas has rejected it repeatedly. It's in their charter to reject it. Listen. Finally, and importantly, Even as we work toward progress on each of these urgent needs, We're focused on setting the conditions for a durable and sustainable peace and security.
The United States continues to believe that the best viable path Indeed, the only path. is through a two-state solution. That's the only guarantor of a secure Jewish and democratic Israel. The only guarantor a Palestinians realize that. Except they've rejected it.
Time and time again. And in fact, just earlier this week, you had that same leader of Hamas say that they're going to keep redoing October 7th until Israel doesn't exist. I guess Blinken didn't see that interview. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five.
Okay, so I told you this: 12 dead. Four in critical condition after drinking homemade liquor. At a wedding party. Oh my god. Yeah, so this was in Indonesia.
18 people were hospitalized with alcohol poisoning. You know, there's some good people here in southern Missouri and in the foothills of Appalachia that can absolutely help you out with that homemade moonshine, with that moonshine, making that moonshine, but whatever they did is not the way to do it. They said that 18 victims exhibited symptoms of alcohol intoxication. 11 of them could not be saved. Oh my gosh.
And so they said that They've had bootleg liquor in regions where they've made it illegal or difficult to obtain. They've had this in Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan before, Nigeria as well.
So, just saying. United Airlines flight scrapes the tail, scrapes its tail during takeoff at Boston Logan Airport. Oh my gosh. They were leaving and they had to turn around. After this reported tail problem, the crew on board the flight said that it scraped the tail of the plane on the runway during takeoff.
The FAA issued a statement. The Boeing 737 was heading to Newark, so they did return. They had to land safely, according to FAA. They were able to apparently accommodate people on the next flight, but good grief. That's kind of the ha.
People with poor speech etiquette. Reparently always use these seven rude phrases, according to experts. They say, Do you want to? Instead of saying, Will you do me a favor? They ask people, Do you want to do this?
They'll say, here's the thing. Who says that? What? Uh They'll say, well, figure out a way. It is what it is.
If you want my honest opinion, I mean, those are the kind of the phrases that they say people with poor speech etiquette say. Really? Mm-hmm. A teenager broke a world record by solving the Rubik's Cube, a Rubik's Cube while skydiving. This is Chest.
Wow, what What? I would be a little bit worried about falling, but they saw the 17-year-old Sam Soraki. broke its solid in 28.25 seconds while skydiving.
Okay, can you maybe stop being so ambitious and save some stuff for the rest of us? Thanks. Stay with us. Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts, because knowledge is your ultimate superpower. The Trump administration allowed China to take the lead in EVs.
And just putting your head in the sand and saying, well, maybe EVs won't be a thing, is not an answer. That is how you get another generation of rusted-out factories and dead companies. Tesla did pretty well. Tesla did phenomenally well, but at the end of the day, The the policies of the last administration. allowed China to get an edge.
that we are now racing to overtake. Cracked out world that makes sense. That's that's Are you are you alright, Kane? That's Secretary Mayer new mom, uh Poot Booty Juice. Uh That's his name.
who is saying that Somehow We are going to, we are racing to overtake China, and we're going to going to because of Biden's policies. I'll come back to the show, bottom of this third hour. That's not the history.
Okay, so first off, that's not accurate. Number one. Number two. I don't know how we could even begin to go and seriously. take over.
Uh China at all? When we've handicapped ourselves, when we have tied up our ability. refineries for oil and gas, whether it's to mine for Uh rare earth elements, any of that. I mean, we've talked about this extensively on this program. We're not doing, none of this is true.
This is not even accurate. It doesn't even make sense. None of this is accurate. This is all just nonsense. What a stupid remark.
I mean, you know, we we we live here, we see this stuff, you know, I mean This is not what happened. At all. This is not what happened. I really don't want to do this other Biden audio. Can we talk about Prime Minister Joe?
Audio Sound by 20. Go ahead. I think Prime Minister Joe and President And I think Prime Minister Trudeau and President Le Shele Are also and I also think President Shakyleg. Can I hear that last part again? What did he say?
I think President. And I think Prime Minister Trudeau and President Le Secret Are also, and I also think President of the United States. I heard President and Prime Minister a little shaky leg. That's what I heard too. Prime Minister Joe.
Well, you know, I guess he's just trying to sh shorten Justin Trudeau. To Joe. I'm thinking something positive, Dana. Say something positive. I mean, it's maybe just probably what it is.
I'm sure. He didn't fall down. Yeah, he didn't fall to c you know what? Good for you for. Focusing on the bright aspect of this.
He did not fall down. I like to see the silver lining and things. He uh stayed upright. That's good. That's right.
Um He there was no cocaine there. That we know of, you're right. Speaking of which, don't bring that up. That's horrible. It's Punter Baby Biden.
stuff. Here, where's this at? Uh yeah, he apparently signed off on a burisma memo. Hunter Biden to Ukrainian prosecutor who replaced Victor Shokin. And warned not to continue further investigations.
I mean, you were talking to a foreign countries prosecutor. Telling them to stop unless you want to be punished for it. Isn't that the tit for tat? Quid pro quo. Quid pro quo, Clarice.
Quid pro quo. Isn't that what they accused uh Trump of doing? I mean, he signed a letter that said, quote, moreover, it is imperative that the allegations of criminal activity made to the media about Burisme Andor Nikolai Zolichewski come to an end, end quote, signed Hunter Biden. That's Sounds like p Quid pro quo, Kane. Yeah.
Hmm. But you can't talk about it, you know why. Because it's he's on cocaine. Or took it before the cocaine. And you're just demonizing his addiction by pointing out his corruption.
Because they're the same thing, don't you know? That's how stupid all of this is.
So dumb. Ganas. Just so incredibly sad.
So the uh few things to touch on. We've uh Been seeing this daylight. Appearing between the administration and Israel, Netanyahu, saying, No, no, there's not going to be no pause and no fuel before hostages are released. I think that's fine. Yeah.
Why not w l release the hostages? Why wouldn't you? There's not going to be no any ceasefire before then. And Hamas has said so far to go pound sand. and that they're going to continue doing what they're doing until Israel is gone.
So it's going to take a long time. 'Cause it's not going to happen. I mean, it's like never going to happen.
Meanwhile, Senegal Citizen wanted for terroristic activities arrested in New York City. You heard me make mention of this to Congressman Chip Roy when he was on the program. He's an African terrorism suspect. He was released into the U.S. after he was ille he had illegally crossed the border into Arizona.
on october third. One week later, Homeland Security. Told ICE that he was wanted in Senegal for terrorist activities. On october seventeenth, Ice arrested him in New York. He was able to just freely cross the border.
You have uh Chinese nationals. Iranian nationals. Yeah, this terrorist cane, your jaw's on the floor. He traveled across the count if he came in Arizona and he ended up in New York. Yeah, he went across the country.
He was in virtually every state of this country for two weeks. Yeah. Just going wherever he wanted to go. He arrived in New York City. And then uh homeland security.
Told ICE, hey, this guy is a 29-year-old non-citizen terrorist. He is in custody now without bond. They're going to, I mean, I. And remember, see, here's the thing: Border Patrol. Uh they can't Deport people.
They're told they can't by the federal government, by the Biden administration. And if they hold someone, they don't have all of the information to check. in the you know, in their their terrorist database and see. And if they're in a lot of times ice, remember. The Obama-Biden administration and the Biden administration both Have really discouraged agencies from sharing this information with each other because they, I mean, this is what was happening in California.
I mean, that's why you had people killed. There was a guy who was already wanted on murder, who illegally crossed into the country. Border Patrol was aware of him, but it's sanctuary, so they're not going to allow, they're not going to share information because to them it was more important that the guy be protected because he crossed illegally as opposed to protecting their citizens from a guy who was already wanted for murder in his home country. And Border Patrol's overwhelm. They can't just hold somebody either.
And ICE was saying that he was wanted by Senegal, their authorities, for a criminal conspiracy because he was involved in a terrorist organization, destruction, all kinds of stuff. He was working to compromise public safety, et cetera, et cetera. I mean, this is just what we know of. We just, I mean, just this week, we've learned about a handful of people. Who are either in the country illegally or who were allowed to just like freely come in, like with the Jordanian national, who have been plotting terror attacks.
I mean they've been plotting uh to harm Americans. Here. And I I mean it's it is You had the Customs and Border Patrol. Remember, they had the memo that they had issued. What was that?
Like the beginning of last month? Of October, where they were saying, Look, there might be some people associated with terror groups that are trying to enter the United States. You guys remember that we talked about it on the show.
Now, It's just safe to assume at this point that you might have people who are. uh associated with Hamas or Hezbollah. I mean, that's. It's not beyond the realm of possibility. to assume that you might have people like that already here.
I mean, the thing is, you don't know. Nobody knows who is in the country because we've had so many people come in, millions and millions of people who have flooded into the country illegally, no accountability, no idea who they are. And half the time, I mean, more than half of the time, any documentation that they show is fraudulent.
So we have no idea how I mean, we just don't know. We have no clue. I mean, how sad is that? We can't even keep our people safe. We can't keep anybody safe here.
And this is it's just this is insane. But hey, that's the administration. And they're not going to There's not going to be any move with the board. I'm going to tell you what. This is why 2024 is so incredibly important.
I saw another headline. Where people were arguing, I don't think candidates need to be speaking to the stupid stuff. I'm done with the fight over boots and shoes. Nobody cares. I mean, if Ron DeSantis wears lifts in his shoes, then his main competitor is a guy who gets spray-tanned and has a conniption fit over the idea of having small hands.
No one cares. Stop it. This is so stupid. I mean, we have really serious stuff popping off. 2024 is the last exit on the highway, folks.
Last exit on the highway. After that, we're going into the weird wild world of AI Everything. We're going to have so many jobs made redundant because of AI. War strategy is going to be AI. AI is going to be entirely programmed by all of the people that you vote against if we lose in 2024.
You're going to have all of the Ibram X Kendis, those guys are going to be. Influencing the perspective of how algorithms are written and how AI is created. Who knows what's going to happen in the Middle East? Who knows what's going to happen with the border? I mean, well, I think the borders that's going to be made permanent, fait accompli.
2024 is the last exit on the highway. It is too important to engage in personality worship. I want to win. I don't care who does it, who's going to be the horse that wins the race. That's the horse I'm going to bet on.
That's the horse I'm gonna the per the horse that can win, the horse that can get the independence, the horse that can that can get the votes of the people who might not consider it, all of that. That's what I'm looking at for going into twenty twenty four. I want to win so bad I can taste it. I don't care about personalities. I don't care about loyalty.
I don't give a rat's ass loyalty to any stupid politician. They should be loyal to me. If you can't be loyal to me, get out of my country. That's how I look at it. I want to win.
I want to win because 2024 is it. I don't care about all the ego measuring who's better, who's lower. No, no, no, no, no. We're not doing that. I want to win.
So That's how I approach all this stuff. For those wondering, well, why aren't you obsessing over all of the primary stuff? Because it's stupid and because we're so far out. I want to win. I mean, I don't want to freak you out about how serious it is, but it's yeah, it's kinda serious.
Everyone always says that this is the most important election. Every election's important. But this one is the most. 'Cause it's it. It's so things are so far.

In three months, he'll be dismissed. But you weren't straight about what happened initially? I was very straight. I was straight from the very beginning. You said you didn't know though.
I was straight from the beginning.
Someone did invoke that today on the House floor, though. What's that? That incident, the fact that you had actually pleaded guilty, and he is still just being charged. Yeah, whatever, man. That's all good.
Any other questions about anything else? Can you just explain why you said that initially? We already talked about this. Anything else?

I mean, it was insurrection. I mean, yeah, it was uh. I was told that, um,. It is an insurrection. That's uh what I was told.

So, um I was reading. I shared this with Kane. A new study ranked our hometown, St. Louis, the worst recovered downtown since. The pandemic.
comparing downtown foot traffic from before to after. St. Louis is the least recovered downtown in America. Yeah. It was done from the University of Toronto.
