Wednesday November 29 - Full Show

Our friends over at Hillsdale College. This is one of the things that they teach at Hillsdale. This is like where you go for an actual. good education. It's a small Christian classical liberal arts college there in Southern Michigan.

They teach critical thinking. They protect critical thinking, not critical race theory. And they understand that education is absolutely paramount to a free society. The more you know, the freer you are, especially with how your own government works. And so that's what they teach at Hillsdale, where they foster open debate, where students aren't penalized for engaging in honest, you know, academic discussion and displaying intellectual curiosity.

And you can study America's great heritage of liberty and grow by studying these truths in a very supportive and dedicated community. And you can see they have a short video up about how Hillsdale's work is super effective in defending American liberty, not just on its campuses, but across the country. You can access it at dana4forhillsdale.com and learn more about the mission of Hillsdale College. Visit dana4hillsdale.com. That's danaforhillsdale.com, Hillsdale College, Developing Minds, Improving Hearts.

I hope that we can keep this pause going as long as possible to get as many of these hostages out as possible. That there are some constraints. because Israel has been losing the hearts and minds of people, not only in the region, but around the world. One of the things that I would strongly urge our Israeli partners is to release some of the funds that go to the Palestinian Authority. I've been worried even in advance of October 7th that you could have the Palestinian security services simply all quit on the West Bank and you would have chaos at an unprecedented level.

You know, sometimes I hear these people talk. And I'm like, how? How are they able to talk? Because they make such stupid observations that it's it's shocking that they can carry Like an actual You know, it's it's shocking that they can deliver a sentence. Especially on this.

That was actually pretty shocking to me. Welcome to the program. We're going to break this down. Welcome to the program. Dana Lash here with you.

You can listen to the radio show, coast to coast, stream the radio show, watch the simulcast as well on. Channel three hundred forty seven, Direct T V.

So that was that uh not blinking. Warning. Warner, that's correct.

So that's Senator Warner. And he's I'm kind of shocked at His trust, I'm not shocked. I mean, he's a Democrat. His trust. Even for a Democrat, Democrats have to understand who the Palestinian Authority is.

I mean, they have to understand who the Palestinian Authority is and what they do. I mean, he wants you can see what the administration's trying to do here. They are desperately trying to prop up Palestinian authority. They are desperate, they're trying to save the Pal, and I say Palestinian, just start it off right off the bat. Palestine doesn't exist.

It's not a country. There's no ethnicity of people who are Palestinians. None of the claims are supported throughout thousands of years of antiquity.

So spare me. But as I was saying, The Claim that, well, they need to release more money to the Palestinian Authority so that you understand it. The Palestinian Authority is the you have the Palestinian Authority, the ruling entity. Uh they essentially have control in West Bank offi th officially, like on Officially, they have control, but really, it's Hamas that's so popular, they have de facto control, which, and I'll keep reminding people of this. This is why.

We have why they had the suspension of elections back in just a couple of years ago because Hamas won overwhelmingly in 2006 after Israel unilaterally pulled out of Gaza in 2005. They are incredibly popular in West Bank and Gaza. Don't let anyone ever dissuade you from that because that is God's honest truth. They are supremely popular in those two territories. Hamas is overwhelmingly popular.

People elected them knowing about martyrs' funds and everything else, knowing that, and out of the two, because you have Fatah and you have Hamas, those were the two big parties under the authorities' umbrella, for the lack of a better way to put it. Fatah. At least And I don't like them either, but they recognized, they, they, they. acknowledged Israel's right to exist. which was the bare minimum.

Acknowledged it. And at least Canada gave overtures to a two-state solution that Israel had already accepted and said, we'll do this, but then if you keep firing rockets at us, we're not going to do it anymore. Hamas didn't want it, which is that was one of the big deciding factors into why they were so popular and why they got, why they were elected. Was that reason? Was that the recognition of Israel?

As its own entity.

So that's kind of a big deal. You know, when you're having a conversation about Palestinian Authority and Fatah and Hamas. And so to hear Senator Warner say, well, this moronic comment, well, if they just give more money to them, you know, they just got to give some more money, Kane. That's all it is. You know, I would urge them to release some funds.

How many funds? How much fun? They've been releasing funds since the beginning. Stop treating Gaza like a welfare state. and demand that their elected government actually stop spending money on terrorism and maybe start spending money on the people that elected it to represent it.

Just, you know, that's just the thought. Israel doesn't owe them a damn thing. They don't owe them another dime. They don't owe them not a thing. They don't need to release anything to the Palestinian Authority.

Pounds sand. And they shouldn't. And and and their people should l should should criticize the Israeli government hardcore if they do. Because they should not release another dime. They've released so much money, they annually aid everything else.

So that's something you got to kind of because they keep seeing this, and everybody, I don't know if they just don't know enough about the area or they don't understand the history. Yaz or Arafat went a long way to really mainstream and popularize these claims with the authority, et cetera, et cetera. But you had the PLO, you had the Palestinian Authority. I mean, the difference is one signed a governing document, one didn't. But they're the same thing.

They're the same people. Like the head of Fatah is the chair of the Palestinian Authority. They're all the same people.

So this is stupid. It's just a bunch of different. It's like Kane and I saying, well, this is the Dana show, and then this is also the show Dana, and this is also the radio program of Dana Lash, and just doing a bunch of different names for the same thing. It's the same thing.

So For Warner to say this. This guy should not be. And involved in any i any of this policy. if this is what if this is his position. I know a lot of people have been kinda critical too.

and asking why does the United States have to give Israel so much money. I think that's a fair question to ask. And the reason I say it's a fair question to ask is because It's to me it seems offensive. to treat them like a welfare partner. You know what I mean?

Because they're not. I mean, they're more than capable of handling themselves. They have not only the technological know-how, the military know-how, the resources to do it, but they have the funds to do it too. They're not a broke nation that misappropriated and acted with impropriety and spent everything on terror tunnels. I mean, they actually built an infrastructure on like Hamas.

I think that's a fair question to raise. And I think there's a difference between making sure that you're allies with someone and keeping your allies safe and making sure that. you because it's you don't want what's happening there to spread. There is a good argument, a different argument to have for that. But I think it's a fair question.

I see people arguing this all the time on social media, and I think it's a fair question to ask.

However, You can't allow people like the squad to hide behind that as justification for the stuff that they're saying. Did you see what Rashida Tlaib did yesterday?

So they had these motions that they were voting on the resolution to stand with Israel, et cetera, et cetera. She's one of those who doesn't, she doesn't recognize Israel. She wouldn't acknowledge that in the house. We're sheeted to leave.

Now Answer me how you can represent anybody in the House of Representatives and not acknowledge that. not understand and recognize our Allies right to exist. I I I find that Fascinating. But that's but that's where they are. They have a huge problem on the Democrat side.

They have a major problem and I know the media always ignores it because it's so much fun to talk about the stuff on the right, but They have a huge problem with anti-Semitism. In the meantime, the White House has said eight more American citizens, as well as a U.S. permanent resident, are believed to be. Still held hostage by Hamas. And they're purposefully doing this.

you know, very slow release of hostages. We'll release a couple of here. We'll release a couple of em there. A couple hostages here. Just, you know.

Nine children apparently still remain captive in Gaza. 31 people, young adults, have been released so far. And Israel is classifying, if you're 18 or younger, then you're considered a child. They still do have a four-year-old and an eight-month-old. I guess he's nine-month-old now.

uh who that that are uh captive. And nobody even knows if they're actually being held together. They were kidnapped with their mother. The Bibbis family. The mother, the reports were that the mother was separated.

You might have seen the video. from one of the terrorist body cams. And this was one that I think the IDF got a hold of, and they had released it. She had two kids in her arms, and she was crying, and they were herding her into a van. She that those are the kids in question, and that's the mother in question.

The reports were that they were separated from her. in captivity and that They have already said they're not releasing the kids. They've already said they're not they're definitely not releasing the four-year-old and the I guess nine-month old now. Uh and they said that They're incredibly recognizable because they're redheaded. And because you have a young baby, you know, a little baby.

Uh and that's uh Kind of makes them the face of these hostages in a way.

So I have, I mean, that's just horrible. That's crazy. How are they? I mean, think about this. You got a baby, like a baby.

You there's no way and and to separate the baby from his mom. Do you honestly trust these Hamas terrorists to take care of a baby, keep a baby alive? I mean, you already heard the reports they were beating the one child, the one little boy that was released. They were kicking the crap out of him. beating him up, putting him in isolation.

They were torturing that child.

So I mean, I can't even hardly think of what they're doing to these kids in captivity. But just a drip, drip, drip release of the hostages. And they're doing this on purpose. I mean, it's a psyop. It's all psychological warfare.

That's all part of this. That's all what this is. While they're simultaneously claiming for a ceasefire that they violated yesterday because they again fired on IDF troops, they violated yesterday.

So just that's one of the things that the media doesn't want to really widely report about.

So a few things. The a couple of things to touch on. They had the Rosalind Carter. Her visitation going on today. Why?

Why were people And I noticed that it was mostly progressive dudes. Why were they flipping out about Melania Trump wearing a gray coat? Like one guy. We're saying that And I'm looking at a photo of the former first ladies. They were in either dark navy or black.

She had a black dress on, but she had a gray coat over it. And I mean, it's cold. I mean, for crying out loud, it's like near, it's almost December. It's cold outside. And she wore it, it was a very nice gray coat.

She was completely appropriately dressed. And I noticed a number of dudes, like people with like on cable news, who were saying, oh, it's disrespectful that she wore gray.

Now I notice that all these dudes, I'm gonna be honest, were fat and ugly. All of the dudes criticizing Melania Trump or for why does she get so much hate? You don't even have to like Trump or love Trump to recognize that this woman gets an inordinate amount of hate. She has always dressed classy. I loved the Christmas decorations.

I will fight you on that hill and I will win. I loved the Christmas decorations with the red trees. I saw that and my little goth heart leaped. It was so great. But they were going on and on, saying that it was inappropriate, etc., etc., and that she was.

She was, she, that it wasn't, it's not an acceptable, it's not acceptable attire. They said, you know, just stay home. Your attention seeking is classless. She wore a dark gray coat. It was cold outside.

She had a black dress on underneath. Good grief. I mean, even in death, these people cannot be classy. Shameful. On the way, we got a number of things coming up.

including all of the latest going on in the Middle East as well. the Houthis acting up. We're going to discuss all of that. We're going to get into some of the 2024 stuff the Koch brothers are weighing in. Not surprisingly, who they're endorsing.

I'm just saying it observationally. We also have Hunter Biden wanting to testify, but only if it's public, but it doesn't look like Congress is going to allow for him to have that chance. And did you hear about the senior CIA official who was caught posting pro-Hamas content on social media? Yeah, this senior CIA official. Not retired.

Yeah, wait until you hear that story. Looking for a proactive solution in the battle against COVID-19?

So, as we were talking about some of the hostages that Hamas has in custody, the IDF is now looking into claims just reported that the family, the mother with the eight-month-old or the nine-month-old, and then the four-year-old, Hamas is claiming that they were killed.

So, this has happened before, though. They've claimed that Emily Hand, for instance, was killed and she was not.

So, the IDF, before any verification is taking place, they're trying to investigate the veracity of those claims. But that came from J-Post and several other.

Sources on this. I really hope not. I think we all really hope not because, goodness, that's just. That's just horrific. You almost need a moment to process it.

Also, UK studies show that memory problems and cognitive loss have now been tied to the lockdowns. Very unsurprising. The stringent lockdown measures that were implemented across the world were found to have negatively impacted the working memory and cognitive function, particularly of older individuals.

Now, there are raised concerns about elevated risks of dementia, according to a very comprehensive UK study, which published its findings this week. The University of Exeter and King's College London, in collaboration with their NHS over there, they revealed these impacts and they said they looked at over 3,000 people. The average age was 67. And they said that they're still, they said the effects of these measures are yet to be fully established, but they're very troubled. In fact, they're very nervous about what they've discovered with cognitive decline on this.

So that's something else. Also, North Korea claims that a spy satellite took photos of the White House.

Now, what North Korea is going to be really shocked about is I also can see photos of the White House using a thing called Google Maps. Let's see, 813,000 borrowers get email from President Joe Biden on student loan forgiveness. They're still pushing that. We're going to come back and touch on this because they sent emails out to these borrowers. Forgiveness, you just don't have to pay back the money that you owe others.

Now, imagine you try to do that in any other facet of life. The CIA apparently has a secret office that's conducted UFO retrieval missions on at least nine crash sites around the world, according to missile blowers, men in black. Speaking of aliens, cave aliens, an eerie trio, alien-like humanoid figures with giant heads were found painted in an African cave, leaving scientists baffled, according to the sun. Or they could just be. Like giant fish or something, like with verb.

I don't know, but they said that they're cave aliens. I do think that they think everything looks like an alien, though. Like these researchers, this is very Monty Python-esque. They go back and they find something and then they construe this, you know. Fantastical thing around it.

And I don't know. We have a lot more on the way. Stick with us. Our partners over at Nimi Skincare. A great company.

They make their stuff right here in the US of A. And because I'm particular about stuff, they also, Nimi also doesn't test on animals and they don't include parabens or any of the stuff that actually there's been a lot of studies on. It's real bad for your skin. Nimi Skincare, they use very X, they use great ingredients, only the best ingredients that you can get: the peptides, the retinol, the vitamin C, so much more. And they're 100% guaranteed they ship right to your door.

So they're made in the US of A using the best ingredients. And it's the people who own it think like you.

Now, the reason that Nimi Skincare started is because a lot of women, a lot of us, were upset to see dudes advertising skincare products to women because women's needs change throughout the decades. What you use in your 30s, you didn't use in your 20s, and vice versa. And Nimi realizes this. Nimi Skincare realizes this. And so that's why they formulate their products to address the needs of women, right?

And so, for instance, the Hydrate and Protect Ultimate routine, this includes Nimi Skincare's. Most popular anti-aging products. It cleanses, moisturizes, protects the skin. You can build your basket how you want to, and visit them online and do so. You don't have to compromise your values to have great skin.

And they get Nimi Skincare gets men's needs and women's needs entirely different. Visit NimiSkincare.com. That's N-I-M-Iskincare.com and use promo code Dana to get 10% off of your order. Your skin will thank you. Looking for the drive-through version of The Dana Show?

Check out the best highlights from every show in Dana's Absurd Truth podcast, posted daily from The Dana Show. A handful of Republicans have dangerously tried to link Ukraine aid and make our support for democracy in the West a pivotal issue that history will remember us for. Conditional on passing hard right border policy similar to H.R. 2. It's hard right now.

Basic border policy is now hard right. Who knew? Do you know? Yes, Kane, you have a observation.

So constitutional is far right? Apparently.

Okay. Apparently, just actually enforcing existing border law is apparently far right. I did not know that was the thing. I'm today years old in knowing that. That was Senator Truck Schumer.

Who was giving us the amazing insight on that. Mm so How but how is it though? That's not, how is it hard right? Because a lot of the border law that's in place there, dude, you've supported it. You supported it.

So was it hard right when Chuck Schumer supported some of the previous border law that now he refuses to enforce? I'm made of questions. I mean, it just wind what made it hard right?

Well, when our voters decided that they didn't like it any more. Mm. Yeah. I I Yeah, and it could have been passed without the Senate. You're right.

He was right there involved in all of it.

So the um Welcome back to the program, by the way. I hope you signed up for the newsletter over at Substack Chapter and Verse. And uh I'm look uh this um Yeah. The border policy, because that was one of the things that the House wanted to tie into any kind of additional spending, right? And you knew this was going to come up.

We're going to have this battle again over. The border. Over the overfunding, we're going to keep having these battles because Congress is obsessed with just kicking the cane down the road. They don't want to deal with it. And Now They're saying, well, you know, we just we're going to reject any request for any kind of additional funding at the border.

We just don't think that that's something we need to be focusing on right now. I think it's actually something very important to focus on because you we talked just talked yesterday about the border surge about how border customs and border patrol they don't even have enough manpower down there to process everything just going through the border which is definitely going to affect commerce And I mean, it's a problem that they don't seem to want to address. They're too busy doing other stuff. Like the CIA Deputy Director. Who's posting pro-Hamash stuff on Facebook?

Yes, even after the attack. I I I don't know if these people are dumb. I just think that they don't care. I j I simply think that they just don't care. I well, I think Miguel Cartona is dumb.

No, du don't. He's the guy who yesterday said that uh he butchered Reagan's quote.

Now he's dumb. But this is just they don't care.

So, this story comes from Financial Times. The CIA's Associate Deputy Director for Analysis, changed her Facebook cover photo on October 21st to an image of a man waving a flag for a fictional country that's never existed in all of mankind a quote unquote Palestinian flag. And it's often used in their very Anti- and not just anti-Israeli government, but like anti-Jewish people. I mean, there's a big difference, right? People understand there's a big difference between criticizing the Israeli government and then being like to Jews.

I mean, there's a big difference. They don't seem to recognize that at this publication that uh or or that that uh That the media has used previously uh in their as their image to Accompany these articles that are very, very critical of Israel. It's like a widely used image.

So they said that this this CIA officer And again, this is a Deputy Director for Analysis. Change this to the dude waving the fake flag. FT decided not to name her after the intelligence agency expressed a concern about her safety. Huh. I think we all need to be worried about our safety with this broad in the CIA.

Because that's a very you're a senior intelligence official. You're posting a hyper Political image on a public platform that everyone can see. That's unprofessional, especially if you're in the CIA. If you want to be able. to post things to your little Facebook account.

Then don't be a senior intelligence official. No one's saying that you can't post things to your Facebook account, but when you are a senior Intel official with the flipping CIA, There's a certain level of maturity and accountability. That's to be followed. And if you can't meet that, if showing your backside on Facebook is more important to you. then show your backside on Facebook.

Just don't do it while you're with the CIA.

So there's the difference here. And this is, there's apparently tensions within the government because people are saying that Biden should put more pressure on Israel. He's being dragged. I hope you see this internally. I will say this: I don't think that Biden necessarily agrees with the push to force or to try to.

force Israel into ceasing defending itself uh against Hamas in Gaza. But I feel like he's being dragged to that position because the pressure is so great. I don't think he actually legitimately agrees with it. But he's never been one known for his spine or his leadership.

So if he gets pushed enough, that's what he's going to do. He's going to go right along with it. And this individual that's been posting this. They it's a they're a career analyst with an extensive background in all aspects of the Middle East, blah blah blah. And they said that they were not trying to express it.

Shut up. Yes, you were.

Someone said, Well, they actually uploaded it years ago. Yeah, but they just made it their cover photo. You epic moron, learn how Facebook works. It doesn't just become your new f your your new uh uh Uh top You know, like you have your your uh photo that you use as your main avatar. And then you have what they call their cover photo, and that's the uh wider photo up at the top.

And that's what they switched it to. They switched it to that photo. And then, of course, that populates in your feed on Facebook, especially, it doesn't matter if it's an old picture or not. You can go and get an old picture and repurpose it to use it as a cover image, and it will populate on the home feed that so-and-so changed their cover image. That's what happened here.

So they're like, well, it doesn't matter. Shut up. Learn how Facebook works. I'm not going to I can't stand these people. Stop.

It's a CIA it's a CIA officer. It is the CIA officer who is posting this stuff, promoting pro-Hamas stuff on their Facebook page.

Now, I know that the administration has a problem with some of these pro-Hamas people and that they have working with them, but this is a little too far. Does that make you feel uncomfortable? Knowing that you got somebody that's standing for Hamas that's literally a deputy director of analysis and CIA. I mean, don't we have enough problems with Deep State right now? And now we got turds like this.

Ask me again why I don't trust my government. A a healthy republic is actually dependent upon people being suspicious of their government, but they also have to realize that they are more powerful than their government, and this sh this stuff shouldn't be tolerated. And apparently this individual has not been disciplined. I think, and because I'm the employer, because we pay for the CIA, as the employer, I would fire this person. Because you cannot, this is not like you're working as a barista and you decide to post something on your own Facebook page.

People are not paying tax dollars to baristas. They are not putting their faith in the execution of missions to keep the populace at large safe. They're not expecting that of a barista, but they are of a senior intelligence officer in the CIA. The government, as a taxpayer-funded entity of which the CIA is part. Is required and should be required, and the discipline, the penalty for not observing this, should be dismissal.

They should be required to be entirely bipartisan. That's not saying that you don't get to have your beliefs, but can we stop this worship at the altar of self? If you want the job, get over yourself. That's just the bare bones of it. All of these people who think that the world is owed their precious opinions.

Your opinions aren't precious. Most everybody has them. No one cares. Same thing with a CIA officer, a senior officer in the CIA. Out of anybody that should be very rigidly observing protocol about bipartisanship and not posting hyper-political imagery, it should be the CIA.

And the fact that no one, I think they should be dismissed, they should be fired. and not allowed to work in senior intel again. That's a consequence of valuing your ego more than Your job. And if you don't want to be told what you can and cannot post on Facebook, then don't take the job. For the precious single brain cell drive-bys out there, it's not a free speech issue.

Especially when our tax dollars are at play, and especially when someone has the security authority and the access to be able to do some real shady stuff if they want to. You have the responsibility to deliver on the appearance of complete propriety. You cannot be seen as being compromised in any way.

So, I this is ridiculous.

So they said, oh, well, the analysts posted messages condemning anti-Semitism, too. That's what one person defending, I guess, to NBC said of this individual. That's irrelevant. They made this photo their cover photo. That flag is synonymous with Hamas now.

Hamas is the government. Since Israel unilaterally moved out in 2005, the people have overwhelmingly supported the elected government that represents this flag. That isn't anyone else's fault. That's not the fault of the observers who are simply remarking on what's come to be true. These are the actions of the people in this area, including the people who voted for Hamas.

They act like the only way to be considered culpable in this is that if you have a Hamas members-only jacket and a Costco-like membership card. It's not how it is. I mean, this is just, it's insane. Does that, I mean, don't you think? I think they should be fired.

They will go after and they will tag parents as domestic terrorists. for speaking out at school board meetings. But you have a top Intel official that posts pro-Hamas drivel on Facebook and nothing? Humas, the people that kill and rape folks? Including kids?

Nothing? The overwhelmingly popular government of the territories there. Nothing? That's a little bit one this one too far for me. Way just just one too far.

So I between this and watching the slow drag of Biden. towards Cease Fireville? It's going to happen. You know, he's going to be pressured into saying it. You know, it's going to happen, it's just a matter of time.

But my heavens So, yeah, the CIA sent out this internal email cautioning people about posting political messages and social media. I don't even know why you have a social media. If you're on CIA, you shouldn't have social media. The social media is the matrix. I don't know if people recognize this or not, but it is.

Social media right now it'll be replaced, but it's the Matrix. I mean, it's it's the Wachowski brothers, well, sisters now, I guess, right? No, they're brothers, but you know what I mean. It's the Makowskis. I know that they kept trying to, they wanted to rewrite history later and say, no, it was actually about being trans now.

And this is a matrix.

Social media is that everybody's got to have an opinion. Everybody's got to have a hot take. We're so self-aggrandizing that you have CIA officials that will actually compromise their position and compromise the public's trust in the agency in which they work. Because they're so obsessed with making sure everyone knows their opinion. I must put this thing on Facebook.

I don't know, like I m I maybe have joked about it before, but I actually like seeing pictures of y'all's sandwiches and food and stuff, you know? I like seeing those kind of things. I get real tired of I'm gonna here's my hot take. And I work in the industry. I realize how incredibly ironic this is, but you know what I mean?

It's like, not everybody has to have a hot take.

Sometimes we just want to see Kermit dancing to a Christmas song on SNL.

Sometimes we just want to see a picture of the pie you made. That's all right. There's nothing there's no shame in that. No shame in that. There there's shame in being a CIA official and posting stuff like this though.

I'm telling you.

Now we have a Days of these United States coming up. And also, along the way, we got a couple of other things we're going to hit. We've got a few other things that we're going to hit too. Do you remember? I got to update.

The story about the uh Deadspin, the guy named Karen. The Deadspin reporter who went after that little kid. And he was trying to, he called, he literally said the kid was in blackface, and the kid, as it turned out, was just painted up in the Chiefs' colors. He was had one side of his face red, one side of his face black. Wait until you hear about this development that makes it even worse.

For this male, for Karen. That guy's name's Karen. It makes it even, I'm not kidding you, it's his actual name. Makes it even worse for him. You do not want to miss this because I saw this last night, and oh my gosh.

I mean, it's a M9 Chymeline twist. It's pretty cardcore.

I think I would like my legacy To be this sort of idea of like celebrity 2.0. Like, how can we live in the spotlight and, you know, have a large following, but try to do it in a way that feels like the kindest Most grounded, fun, silly.

Empathetic, vulnerable way possible. And I don't know if that can exist yet. I'm still figuring that out. And I think. you know, there's certain circumstances where I might get pushed back on that, but I wasn't sure.

Since it's not like I had a Barbie with that hair that color. Welcome back to the program. I know. I had to subject you to that because I had to watch it. That was so Forbes announced, I can't show you the GIF that I used.

Or maybe I can. how their tweet was written. They announced they're entrepreneurs on the 2024 Forbes 30 under 30 list. They're fighting climate change with carbocarbon marketplaces, reinventing the 911 call, Bill and Blaine, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. That's their thing.

And there's a dude. And some, I don't know any of these people, and most of their products are stupid. I'm just gonna be honest. And the only one I like is the tequila that one Kindle chick putter. Gosh, what's his name?

Bruce Jenner or Caitlin Jenner? That Fox has on all the time. His daughter. Because, you know, tequila's nice. But I don't even know who some of these other people are.

I'm going to reinvent the way that, okay, why did they, but they have, you know who they have on here? Because again, it's 30 under 30 entrepreneurs. They've got the Dylan Mulvaney dude. on there. Literally all he does is bitch on social media.

That's all he does. How is that entrepreneurship? All he does is complain on social media. I'm trying to figure out. Oh, he's a creator.

That's how they have it listed. Oh my gosh. I hate that. What do you? I'm a creator.

Well, we all create, Slick. What do you do? What value do you bring?

Well, I'm a man, and I talk about what it's like to cosplay as a woman. It says, My life is a giant Comic-Con. It's what it is every day. What did you come in? Did you come in as a JoJo character?

No. Oh, you didn't? Did you? What what did you come in as? I came as a woman.

That's so wo stop. I want my legacy to be celebrity. That's not an industry. Just like celebrity. Like realizing stuff.

Second hour on the way. Our partner, Zick Heltech, the R50. I got the P50. I love the P50. This is like one of my favorite guns out there.

It's 5'7, and it's awesome.

Now, the R50 is like the Big Brother version of it. 50 stands for the amount of Pews that it holds. It's very scientific terminology here, folks. But it looks like the Martian that was on Bugs Bunny, the Warner, the Martian gun, it looks like that. It very much does, the P50.

I love it.

Well, now you have the R50. You've got, like the P50, R50 has over seven inches of rail space up top. You've got a wide range of options. You've got additional rail space at the bottom for accessories. It comes with two, and these are standard capacity, two standard capacity 50-round magazines.

That's the 50 Pews. And the R50, the R's for rifles.

So, like I said, you know, it's like the big brother version of the P50. It's really accurate, really well balanced. I love shooting this thing. It's great for fun on the range, but also really just a great choice for serious home protection. It's lightweight.

It's incredibly versatile. You got a lot of firepower, especially if you enjoy the outdoors. You want to make sure that you and your family are protected.

So learn more about the new R50, the big brother to the P50, the R50 Carbine, at Keltech Weapons. That's K-E-L-T-E-C-Weapons.com. Tell them Dana sent you. Just finally in relation to the terrible events that occurred on Parnell Square on Thursday, I really would ask people to try and avoid Um connecting. Uh, crime with migration.

Um, it's not really people who may not be here in the country and Ireland legally, I do, I beg you not to. Please don't uh confuse that with criminality. Seriously, they're still going on about this. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you, Top of the Second Hour.

You can listen coast to coast. You can stream the radio program as well. Uh you can also uh follow along on YouTube, Facebook. Channel 347 Direct TV. Yeah, illegal migration.

What's the name for that, Kane? The name for illegal migration? Um I mean, migration's fine, but if you're trying to immigrate or Enter a place Not in accordance with the law. There's a word for that. Crime?

Yeah. Oh, is that it? That's right. Thanks. It's crime.

It was right there.

So weird that the Irish. Prime Minister wants to ask people to try in avoiding connecting crime with crime. What? You heard me. I don't think I did.

Yeah, stop connecting crime with crime. Very simple. But Entering a country illegally is a cr uh-huh? It's a crime.

Okay, but Don't assume that the crime is also related to crime. But it's a crime, uh-huh. Do you see how ridiculous this is? That's them right now. They haven't changed.

They haven't changed. And this is all due to the It's all fallout still from the riots and everything after this Algerian guy went crazy. And they were still they were trying to figure out if he was in the country legally or not. Uh and He stabbed outside of a primary school. Uh he stabbed, uh almost killed.

A five-year-old girl stabbed another woman. Night and then uh Connor McGregor spoke out about it. And uh They had 34 people arrested, and then the Irish police started investigating. Connor McGregor, even though he was like a change, he criticized the government. And he condemned the violence, but you can't criticize the government there.

So that he's been he's been investigated.

Now, let me understand. This is one thing I've never understood. Let me give you a little insight into my family history. I come from an I'm a true American. I come from all, I'm a mutt.

I mean, I'm literally a one-person melting pot. Everyone thinks that I'm something or other. They think I'm Italian, they think I'm this. Our family is actually the main two veins of our family's ancestry is American Indian and Irish. And that goes up to my grandfather and then my great grandfather.

Great. grandparents. uh a set of them were super Irish. And I've never I mean because you know there's always jokes in our family. Uh about You know, our ancestry and where we come from, and things like that.

And, you know, the combination of the two. And then somewhere far back, we got like. We got like a Norwegian somehow. I have no idea how, but apparently Norwegian, and then came through the Carolinas, and then, oh, and I have a. Great times question mark.

Grandfather, who was hung off the Carolinas for piracy.

So I I'm going to revert back to my culture as an air costume. Whenever I see anybody do it, talk like a pirate day, but I'm only going to do it to the progressive left. You all get a pass. Anyway, my whole point in bringing this up is There is a stereotype about the Irish, the fighting Irish, right? There's a stereotype.

I mean, and it's one that I have friends who live part-time in Ireland and they embrace it wholeheartedly. The fighting Irish. You don't take nothin' from nobody. And it's just, you know, it's just a long revered, cherished perception. Which is why I'm bewildered.

When the government's like, nah, you can't do that. And Irish people are like, okay. What? What are you talking about? I mean, I have a story.

One of my so one of my friends lives part time in Ireland. was part-time in Ireland and then is in New York the rest of the time. We're saying that It was her younger brother. And his friends that got it, it was their friends. They had a disagreement.

They got into a brawl. They were told to take it outside the pub. They went into the street, brawled, made up, went back inside, had another pint. And that's just the nature of things, right? I mean, good natured, go out, get it out of your system.

But then the government tells you you can't do something. Where does that fighting spirit go? I mean, they had people out in the street rioting, and Conor McGregor was speaking out.

Now, you got the Irish police saying, we're going to investigate you. My response Do you want to know my response? I feel like some of you don't really want to know what my response would be. I would probably do the degeneration X move. While telling them to investigate D's.

Pecans. That would have been my response. I'm not joking you. I would have been arrested so many times. And I I that's what I don't get.

Like You're you're w why would you s why? Don't don't Don't abide that. Don't abide that. I mean, they're talking about investigating Conor McGregor for crying out loud. I read Conor McGregor's tweets.

When I first heard that he had said something about all the riots and everything, I thought, oh my gosh, what did he say? We got to go look. I don't know what I was expecting. I guess I was anticipating that it was going to be so over the top. Because he's being investigated by the Irish police.

I mean, surely they would. Oh, yes, they would. He's all literally I read the tweet seed the other day He's like, oh, there's grave danger among us in Ireland. It should never be here in the first place. And he's talking about ignoring the law, coming into the country.

And then he also talks about the importance of, you know, just making sure that you're polite to the people that live in the country to which you're immigrating to. just as you would be to them and theirs. I mean it extends both ways. Oh apparently that's bad. And then, oh, heaven forbid, he went and criticized Kane.

He went and he criticized the government. He went and stole their lucky charms, he did. He went and criticized the government. And so now they have to have a full-blown investigation into him. Bringing me to my point.

That if I were him, I would do D Generation X move and tell them to come investigate D's pecans. Thank you. Could have said cashews as well.

Someti I don't know which one I prefer more. taste-wise, you know, I mean, there's so many things you could do with the pecan. Anyway, that's beside the point. You can't criticize anybody over there. It's not allowed.

It's not allowed. So then it makes me wonder: it's just, you know, what is the fighting Irish then? Where's the fighting spirit? Come on. Where's that at?

Where is it all, these Western governments? That's one of the most terrifying. We talked a little bit about this yesterday. That's one of the most terrifying developments that I've seen in the past 20 years. These governments turning on its own free people for exercising the freedoms that they have.

Huh. Or for daring to expect that other people follow the law. Hey, we gotta follow the law, you gotta follow it too. Oh, that's mean of ya. You can't say that.

If you tell people Yeah. If you want to come into the country, come into it legally the way that we would come into your country. Oh, you can't say that. That's mean. That's mean of yer.

You can't be saying those things now. I don't know why I'm still talking like an Irish cop, but you know. Works. You can't say those things. It's mean spirited.

Mm, no, just not brotherly love. It's mean to sit here and talk about that. Ah, ye the border should be open. Should it though? It's mean to have any to disagree otherwise.

But you have all these governments, like you know, the the What you saw with uh after after October 7th. And then our government comes out, like, oh, well, we gotta really focus on the Islamophobia. Yeah, it's still Islamophobia. I mean, you got Jewish teachers being locked into classrooms for their own protection, students being locked into broom closets for their own protection, hate crimes. I hate that phrase, but to use the words of the left.

You know, people targeting Jewish businesses, vandalizing them. It's like the 1930s all over again. Oh my gosh. And then the Western government, our governments are criticizing the people who speak out and say, hey, didn't y'all live this before?

Someone go rouse Jimmy Carter if he can be roused from his deathly slumber, and maybe ask him. He was around. He's also to blame for everything that's happening in the Middle East, but that's why I don't know why we're lionizing him now, but you know, that breaks. Anyway. I just I don't get it.

Come on. So, a few other things I want to make sure we hit. Oh my gosh, you guys, I've been waiting for this one.

So, you remember the story that we had the other day? Uh about uh The kid? The kid who was in the uh Kansas City Chief's colors. Like he had the headdress on, half his face was painted black, half of it was painted red. And He uh got I mean, he got savaged by this grown man named Karen.

I swear to you. Dude, is Nick ca I got a full stop. I know his mom couldn't foresee into the future. Like she couldn't see that, you know A man who Acts like a complaining woman and is named Karen. Granted, it's C-A-R-R-O-N.

No offense to the Karens out there. Just laugh it off and it's all in good fun, right? Just don't be so heavy-handed that you can't have fun with stuff. But I mean, he went after this kid. He literally said that the kid hated black people.

He said the kid was in blackface. The kid hates black people. Probably didn't he say he probably hates Mexicans too? He said a whole bunch of stuff. I mean And then as it turns out, the kid...

I don't wanna I don't really wanna say his name. But he's actually his last name is Armenta. He is from California. He's actually An American Indian who belongs, like He is literally a member. Of the Chumash Nation.

His dad is on the tribal board in Santa Inez. Like a voting member of a tribal nation. His dad's on the board. Their family is legitimate, they are actual American Indians.

So, Karen Phillips went after an American Indian child. in order to try to score clout. Just let that sink in. Like literally bring it into the building, Elon. No, for real.

Let this seriously. I mean, and his little, sweet little face, he was so proud. He was like all decked out. Yeah, he's actually an American Indian. It'd be nice if the Chiefs came out in support of him.

Why haven't they done that? You had a reporter go after one of your youngest fans. Why wouldn't the team stick up for him? Be like, well, hey, Karen. This kid is actually a minority.

He's an American Indian. And he loves our team. Why wouldn't why w I mean, you're missing a golden opportunity. The Ch the Chiefs should publicly stick up for him. That would be a nice thing to do.

Don't you agree? Yeah. Do you think they haven't because of the politics of it? I think I saw a post about the fans themselves wanting to support by actually the next game, everyone painting their face. Um I saw that, but you're right.

I think if they did that, I might actually like the Chiefs. Right. I mean, I just think they they look at this as a third rail type hot potato thing and they don't want to touch, but I I think they should. Yeah, I mean, he just, he, it just is amazing. Amazing the way that he went at this kid.

Yeah, the kid's dad is literally on, he's on a member of a tribal governing board. He's a member of a sovereign. uh indigenous nation Oh my gosh Like this Karen Phillips could not have stuck his foot any further up his own backside if he tried. Man, what a cell phone. This is actually genius, the headrest safe.

And I'm kind of mad that I didn't come up with it or at least steal it before they had it trademarked and patented. But the headrest safe is a one-of-a-kind in-vehicle safe. In fact, they awarded it Concealed Carrier Magazine's Editor Choice Award for Best in Class Vehicle Safe.

You got a hard keypad, you got a hard key, you got keypad, all that. But it's really for anything. I mean, think about it. Like, you're, I don't know how many people I know, myself included, you know, you go to college games or you go on a road trip or you go do this or that, and maybe you want to have like a secure place to keep your valuables, your medicine. Like if you're staying at an Airbnb or even a hotel, I mean, nobody, this thing is not going anywhere with your headrest safe.

It's on the passenger side, so it doesn't interfere with any kind of driver's safety. It locks securely in place with a deployable toggle bolt. And I can put it in. If I can put it in, you could put it in, probably faster. Than me, but you can put it in.

It's time for Dana's Quick V. Life-saving cancer therapy may itself cause cancer. This is according to the FDA. They said that it's the CAR CAR hyphen T therapy. They said that there are some benefits, but the Food and Drug Administration says that there's 19 new cases, 19 cases of new cancer, cancer that's linked to CAR T therapies, which they give terminal blood to patients, and then they see immune cells taken from the body and engineered to attack before being infused back in the patient's blood.

But they said that it could actually. like cause other disruptions. But it's not the vax though, right? No, it's not the claw shot.

Okay. Yeah, it's not the claw shot though. I'm going all the way down to what I have highlighted in red here. I want to know how. I know we got the other headlines, but I can't.

I'm sorry. I jetted past all the other headlines for this one. A man, this dude who had headaches for five months. Right, hit. I mean, imagine you have a headache every day for straight five months.

It's like, really, that's awful.

Well, when he went to the doctor to figure out why, like, what was happening. He learned that he had chopsticks stuck in his brain. What? Yeah. He literally had chopsticks in his brain.

It It is a man in Vietnam. He was flabbergasted after discovering that he had a pair of chopsticks lodged in his skull. He's a 35-year-old patient. This is from the British paper The Metro and also New York Post. They said the doctors conducted CT scans, which revealed that he was.

He was suffering from a neurological condition defined by a dangerous increase in intracranial pressure. Literally, a pair of chopsticks that were penetrated up his nose into his brain.

Now, he was flonxed over how it happened. Then he said he remembered he was out drinking in Vietnam and he had been involved in a fight five months ago. He doesn't remember details, only that someone stabbed him in the face with an unknown object. How drunk are you that you don't know that someone literally put chopsticks up your nose into your brain?

So that's uh, and apparently they didn't discover it until now. That's so nasty. I can't deal. Oh my gosh. Let's see.

Ooh, Arizona alfalfa farms. Foreign firms are exploiting. Uh, water regulations, unregulated water use.

So, tensions are boiling through the in the Arizona McMullen Valley. Over the Al it's the Alfa Alfa water fight. It can't even talk. Goodness. Stay with us.

Well, hey everyone, one of the things we need in this country is term limits for members of Congress. It's a good policy. We have people like Pelosi that have been there for decade after decade. They're more interested in advancing themselves than they are delivering results for you.

So we need term limits. Problem is, Congress is never going to enact this. As President, I'll lead the efforts to bring about term limits through the states.

Now, first off, welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you. Bottom of this second hour. That's Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

Now, full disclosure. I, and I'm going to lay this out there because somebody's bound to get mad. I disagree with this. Full disclosure. I like, I disagree with it and I still like DeSantis as my primary selection.

Because we live in a republic and not a monarchy, and we've all had family members that have either bled or died for the preservation of that choice, correct?

So He's my pick for the primary. I Disagree with term limits. very, very passionately disagree with term limits. And here's why. And I've talked about this before.

And I understand what he's saying. And I think that he makes some good points, I think that he makes some good points. I understand. the position that some have Wherein they say, look, the checks and balances That the founders enshrined in the Constitution have been twisted and manipulated and turned and bastardized to the point. To where they do not serve the same function that they did prior to the twisting and the turning and the manipulation.

I understand that. Which It is also why I disagree with doing more of it.

Now here's my point. I agree with what the founders wrote in the Federalist Papers. about term limits. And they liked the idea of rotation for a while. Uh there were um I think it was Madison and Hamilton, etc.

They uh Really, they they kicked around the idea of term limits, you know, and rotation and Uh And they had a very uh I think it was Federalist 70 and Federalist 52. where they got into a lot of this. But ultimately Long story short, they realize that the term limit should be. The voter. The voter makes the determination.

as to When They believe that A politician, enough is enough. They're no longer serving the purpose of the people. Thus they have to go. I'm very wary of giving government any more power or responsibility. That initially was designed to rest with the free people itself.

It's supposed to be our discretion. It is our decision as to whether or not someone remains in office for a certain period of time or not, or whether they go. I mean, that's what our vote is. It's the consent to be governed, the consent of this individual to represent us in Congress. And I understand too, you've got the Pelosis out there.

You've got all these people that have been in Congress for longer than some of us have been alive. I completely understand that. But a people's Failure. to do their duty. their due diligence as citizens.

is not A case for government. involvement. Wherever the people fail, it has always been. exploited. by government to grow itself.

If the people fail, and charity. Then the government expands. And it promotes this concept of welfare. And it does it horribly. It just spreads around mediocrity.

And it's a shameful form of bare minimum charity that private individuals could do and do and do. uh so much better themselves. But wherever it is that people fail, that's when government always takes the opportunity, exploits it to grow itself, to enrich itself. And this In my opinion, and again, I based my assessment on what the founders wrote. I've read Federalist papers, I've read anti-federalist papers, I've read arguments on this.

And I tend to agree that this is a responsibility of the voter. I mean think of how much Of our power, we have just ceded over to the federal government, and this is another of them now. As I said, as I was saying, I understand the argument that, well, people like Nancy Pelosi have been in their way too long. I agree. But The failure uh by the people to remove her.

Is that a call from our government? Because here's what I think it was Hamilton when he was writing in the Federalist Papers about this. And one of the arguments that he had put forward is that Well, if you have term limits, you're going to have the same special interests that are in DC no matter what. And that's going to greatly empower those people, the unaccountable. Influences in government that really write a lot of this stuff.

Let's be honest about it. I mean, look at the health care law. How much of that was written by lobbyists? See what I'm saying? You are strengthening the power of the unaccountable because.

More people that come in, they're not going to have built the, they're not going to have the established reputations. They're not going to have the understanding of how to navigate. They're not going to know the procedures on the floor, et cetera, et cetera. And They're going to end up being kind of second string to these special interests that are unaccountable to the voters that are there in DC. I get that.

And I think that that that's a good argument. I mean, like I said, I understand. You know what what what? What's I'm saying that they can't trust some of these bad representatives to be removed by way of vote? But that's not an argument to give that job to the government.

I don't think that well, because the people fail to do their job, I guess we should have the government handle it. Because that's what this is. The problem is bad government, correct?

So, why are we giving it more power? That is what you're doing with term limits. You're ceding your authority as a voter over to the government. I mean, some people I want to stay in there longer, if I'm being honest. People like Louis Gomert, you know, people like Chip Roy, people like Thomas Massey.

I want them to stay in there longer. I want Thomas Massey to stay in there. As long as he wants to, he's quite good.

Some of these people I don't want to stay in there. But that doesn't mean we outsource our responsibility. As as citizens and as voters, our civic duty We just sign it away to the government because we can't be prevailed upon to undertake it ourselves. That's ult that's the argument here.

So I am completely against term limits, 1,110, 100% against term limits. I don't think that it is a Uh I don't think that it's a good position. I don't think it's one that we should be advocating right now. And I don't think that we should make voters easy in apathy. That's not a slight on voters, it's just an observation of reality.

I mean, you had a. How many people, how many registered Republicans didn't go out and vote last election? How many registered Republicans don't go out and vote in their municipal elections? I mean, when I look at the numbers, it's hard for me to... to drum up an apology.

About apathetic voters, when I see how few vote in some of the most important elections. One of the reasons that Republicans lose elections is because not enough of them go out to vote. In Georgia, we lost that special Senate election because not enough Republicans turned out to vote, especially Marjorie Taylor Greene's. County. And just a quick note on that, she was saying, well, this is Trump country.

But they didn't come out and vote when it mattered to save the Senate. And they also didn't come out and vote in 2020. I was looking at the numbers on that.

So I don't know. Maybe she needs to go get out the vote there a little bit more. I've been in Georgia. I've been on the ground there helping to canvass for votes and get out the vote and all that stuff and raise awareness and encourage people to go and do their civic duty. And I was talking to people who just didn't want to go vote.

So it's perfectly reasonable. to a remark on the apathy of the voter. And that is not to be made. In defence of government intrusion in the matters. of citizens' responsibilities.

So this is why. I disagree with the governor here. This is like one of my first big disagreements with him. And here's the thing. I disagree with Every, there's not a politician in office that I don't disagree with somebody on something.

Folks, that's the nature of it. Do you agree with your spouse on everything? I mean, yes, ladies, I hear you.

Well, I'm always right, so yes, he should. I get you. I get it. Like, for instance, in my house, we have a long-running debate. I think that I have a more novel way.

of approaching the loading of the dishwasher.

Now, my husband disagrees. Also, in my home, Uh when I want to hang something. I really you know, put a lot of faith in the old trusty eyeball, right? Not my husband. He literally has the thing on a tripod.

And then he has a level thing and the thing on the tripod like shoots a laser out at something and he's got this level thing and he brings out all this equipment. that he has for literally hanging in photo. For instance, I went to go hang something on my son's room. I ordered it for Christmas for him last year. And I was just going to eyeball it in the middle of the wall, you know.

I'm a pretty good judge of that. I was just going to put it in the middle of the wall. It's a big wall. This is gonna put it in the middle of the wall. Nope, nope, nope, that will not do.

He my husband had to get out the tripod and the Thing with the bubble, the leveler, the level thing in there. That's by the way, that's like we have that. It's so remedial, and we use it, and it's fascinating to me. Anyway. that he gets out all this gear to hang one thing on the wall.

I took a picture and put it on Instagram when it happened. I think that's a little excessive, you know, personally. I disagree with his approach. Nobody is going to agree. With someone a thousand percent of the time.

And if you did, that is frightening. I find that frightening. Whenever I come across anybody that's like, I don't disagree with this politician at all. Everything 100%. You're an alien.

You're a Martian. That's weird. It's not normal. That's not normal. Stop it.

It's healthy. We live in a republic. You should be encouraged to ask questions. You should be encouraged to be like, I don't like that. Because people died for your ability to say and not like it.

So, I don't agree with him on this. I still like him. He's still my pick in the primary, but I totally disagree with him on term limits.

Now, you might say, well, Dana, that's a smaller thing in context of all these other issues. It's actually not. I think it's actually a pretty big issue. The reason I say this is because Think about how much special interests are going to be empowered. Just go back for a moment, if you will.

Indulge me, go back to 2010. Do you remember how many portions of that health care bill were alleged to have been written by lobbyists? Especially as it related to like um R and D. And what is it? The excise medical taxes and all that stuff, excise tax on this.

Uh I mean, it was wild. all these different insurance lobbyists and everybody had a hand in the pot. And some of them were pushed away by more senior members in Congress. who had been there and had the clout to do so. And we're trying to fight and scrape as much as possible.

I mean, the Democrats ended up losing so big after this thing passed. But there were some Republicans in there that were fighting it, and I think had we a Republican majority, those senior members would have had more authority. But it the make up was as it was at the time.

Now imagine having people in Congress that have zero authority. And all the power rests with these lobbyists. That's what you're getting.

So that's another thing to take into consideration where it concerns uh term limits. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. This headline just cracked me up.

So this game. This came from Click Orlando. Uh This uh They just now, this happened a bit ago, but they did this huge piece on it, like just the other day. Here's the headline. This tree was even older than Jesus.

Here's how a Florida woman burned it down. Remember in 20, so this is back in 2012, Seminole County, they had this tree that was like 3,500 years old. And it was called The Senator. And it was a big tree park in Longwood until 2012. It was the largest and oldest bald cypress in the world.

It's 120 feet tall. Let's see. They said that it was this big landmark. And what they said, they bored a hole into the tree. They counted the rings on the trunk.

So it was like the fifth oldest tree in the world, they said. And then June on January sixteenth of twenty twelve uh it was reduced to a stump because some some lady burned it. Sarah Barnes, a Winter Park Florida woman, went to the park that morning with a friend, jumped the fence. entered a hollowed out portion of the tree, started a small fire, And then it grew out of control because she's a moron. She ran to a fast food restaurant, watched the cruise, you know, put it out.

That's like so horrible. They thought that she was trafficking drugs and she f she was found guilty of meth possession.

So of course a meth had burned the damn thing down. And that's it.

So it's a stump now. That's so depressing. Isn't that depressing? I just depressed you. That's so sad.

Oh boy. Here we got this guy, Florida man, claims meth was planted in his underwear. He says he believed it was Advil. I don't I have literally never seen meth. Does it look like Advil?

Like the capsules? Like wait, like what kind of Advil? I've seen Breaking Bad and I don't think any of that meth looked like Advil. Hang on, wait, don't laugh at me for a minute. What does meth look?

like images and slip care. Oh, they look like crystals. It's like a little crystal. It looks like salt flakes. I did not know that.

I am now, right now, years old. I did not know what meth looked like.

So it's like. It looks like giant flakes of salt. Right? Right. Okay.

All right. That doesn't look like Avil.

So, a Florida man says that the meth that the cops found in his underwear. He thought it was Advil, and he doesn't know who put it there. His underwear. Caleb Phillips was changing into his jail clothes when an officer found it. This guy's 46 years old.

How is this male 46 years old? Can how old does this man look? Wow. Dude, right? Wow.

Wow is right. He's Wow years old. Caleb Anthony Phillips. said he didn't know. How this stuff got here is changing from his civilian clothes to prison attire, according to the arrest affidavit, Indian River County on Monday.

He got a warrant for failure to appear in connection with the DUI. He's getting booked and that's when he got in big trouble. But they they found a cylinder containing What looked like Well, it was in his breeches, under his stuff. And he's like, oh, I think that that's Advil. They tested it.

It was so not Advil. It was meth, a lot of meth. He's in trouble. Stick with us. Look, it is not a right to be a member of Congress.

The media will always remind me of that every time I talk to them. But it is a privilege, a privilege that you work hard for, and you get elected to Congress as a privilege to represent those who have chosen you. Madam Speaker, I think we can all agree that due process matters and that we should all be very concerned about the way that we are conducting this process. I ask that all my colleagues in the House consider and understand what this means for the future. And to set the record straight and put this in the record, I will not be resigning.

And with that, I yield back the balance of my time. Hmm.

Well, that's George Santos, who says he's not going anywhere. Welcome back to the program. Daniel Lash here with you, top of this third hour. They're voting on his expulsion Thursday. You know, but the the broads who sit here and say all the anti-Semitic stuff, they they're nothing's that's fine, you know, just.

Yeah. Can I be real? I don't care about the Santa stuff. I just think he's hysterical. I think this whole thing is hysterical.

I think it's people trolling themselves. It is. I mean, people voted for him. He was drama before the election, and people kept voting for him anyway.

So it's like clearly they knew what they were, but he's a red vote. I mean, he's going to vote how they want to. I mean, You know? I don't think Democrats get to sit here and judge. The And uh Legitimacy?

Worthiness of Republican candidates. After they lionized a guy who legit drove a woman into a pond and left her there to drown? to drown and oh, Mary Joe Copeckny. Left Teddy Kennedy, drove her into a pond. left her to drown, ran away, went back to a party.

Yeah, I don't think you all are like a good measure of who's decent, who's not. I think that like that breathbird flew the coop a long time ago. Just gonna say. What is he charged with? Stealing something, charges on donors' credit cards without their authorizations.

I mean, Is he sh does he seem shady? Maybe. me. Does he look like a character from Arthur? Yeah.

Just this, I'm entertained. I don't know what are you, you're getting ready to what? What? What? What are you doing?

You're getting ready to type something to Slack. No, I just know that there's a double standard as it relates to.

someone on the right or a Republican in this situation where it's immediately immediate calls for resignations. And I think it was Duncan Hunter. That situation there, where then nobody called for him to. Quid. Or design or any of that.

The double standards are consistently. in my view, always out there.

Some New York publication has every lie told by George Santos. I think he gained weight since he was in college. I'm not saying that to be mean. Yeah, he's gained weight. I saw and he he's always with That collared shirt, the sweater and then the jacket.

I'm not, you know, I'm not hating. I'm just saying. Uh They Like he lied about what did they say that he had he's lied about um They accused him of lying to donors and then using their money to make purchases at Hermes and OnlyFans. Huh? Again, you guys had Teddy Kennedy.

He used campaign money for personal travel and Botox. I just think it's funny that a dude in Congress is using money for Botox. I'm just he lied to collect multiple or he lied to collect unemployment benefits. He allegedly committed identity theft, they said. He allegedly lied to Congress.

Who hasn't? I'm not excusing any of this. I just think that if Republicans are going to oust someone, then it should be of Republicans' own machinations and not because Democrats want to impose a set of rules on one side that they themselves don't want to follow. I mean, like, you know how I match energies? I also match rule following.

He reimbursed himself for loans he didn't make. Wait a minute. This is coming from the party that wants to quote unquote forgive student loans. Shut up. Y'all don't get to say nothing.

Y'all don't get to say nothing. No, uh-uh. He lied about where he went to high school.

Well, who do you have Blimenthal lied about serving in Vietnam?

Okay. No, I'm not doing what about it. I actually don't care. I just think it's hysterical. Is that mean?

Am I being mean? No. They have no idea where his money came from. They have no idea if his money is legit. He lied about founding an animal charity.

He swindled, they said he swindled somebody, a vet. That he ripped off an Amish dog breeder. I mean, he sounds like. I don't even know if half of these are true or not. I just don't care.

I just don't care. I mean I don't know. Right. I just think he's hysterical and entertaining, and I don't care. I don't care because.

I'm not going to take criticisms. or entertain any kind of measure of propriety offered by the left, considering who they protect. Does that make sense? I feel like that's fair, right? I feel like that's fair.

Like you don't get to judge our crazies, all right? You don't get to sit here and toss stones at our crazies. You leave our crazies alone. We'll deal with them. Y'all mind your own crazies.

I'm just saying. Right. And he just doesn't care. And which I'm So I don't know, just saying. Uh what is it?

Uh there's like a whole bunch here. But he's like, I'm not going anywhere and everyone should enjoy due process. It would have made it better if he would have said, believe all women, and then ended it there. There. Hashtag me too.

Hashtag me too. I gotta tell you, I saw this from BBC just a little bit ago.

So in Ireland, because they're being rowdy over in Belfast. They said that there is anti-immigration signage. that has shown up. And and West Belfast. And somebody I I guess it was like this, uh, blockade on the road, like this concrete blockade.

And After they had this Algerian guy I don't know if he immigrated legally or not, but he went on the stabbing spree to primary school, stabbed some kids, a teacher, put a five-year-old girl in the hospital. And he was taken down by a Brazilian man, by the way, so kudos to that dude. But uh They had Irish Lives Matter.

Someone's been, they've been putting this on some of the buildings around Belfast. and somebody spray painted it. on this um I guess this divider and the road there in Belfast. And the PBC says Anti-immigration signage in West Belfast has been treated as a hate incident, police say. It's a hate incident.

Oh, but wait, there's more. From their story, Graffiti reading Irish Lives Matter was daubed on the wall of the Kennedy Center on Falls Road overnight. People before Prophets Jerry Carroll said, There's no place in our society for this kind of racist poison. What am I missing? It's racist poison to say Irish lives matter.

What if What if they would have said don't matter? Oh, no, that's okay, then. Perfectly acceptable. Perfectly acceptable. Go on now.

Carry on. I I mean Am I missing something? Oh, no, it's been treated as a hate incident. It's hate to say Irish lives matter. How is that hate?

It's not to the exclusion of anyone else's lives. It's just saying that Irish lives matter. It's not saying that anyone else's lives. This is a Rorschach test. If ever there was one, it's this.

People's reaction to this tells you everything. There's certain questions like if I If I meet people or if I have like business dinners, There's a couple of qu I'm not going to tell you what they are, but there's a couple of questions that I I throw out and ask them.

Some of them seem innocuous as a way to gauge their character and figure out if I want to have anything to do with them. And uh I think that for people generally, For everybody else. This phrasing, blank lives matter. Anything, like if you say Irish Lives Matter or, you know, American Lives Matter, anything like that. The reaction to that is a great read.

on someone's, I think, character and motivation. Because saying Irish Lives Matter or X Lives Matter. is not to the exclusion of Y or Z. You're just simply saying that X lives matter. I mean, this is basic logic.

You're not denying the existence or the value of anyone else's lives, but with. regard to this particular Situation in Belfast. It's the incident of this guy going crazy and stabbing everyone, and then all the Irish being told to shut up and don't protest or ask questions, or how dare you criticize law enforcement or elected leaders who allowed this influx to take place to the point where we can't verify who's coming in, where they're coming from, if they have criminal records or not.

So shut up and just accept it. And then criticizing that. And people who are doing the criticizing being told to silence themselves. That seems sort of like a rejection of the value of the lives affected, right?

So thus you get the Irish lives matter. And people are saying that it's quote Racist Poison End quote. Again, what is happening over there? What is happening? And they actually have, did you they actually have in this piece, people may find these images offensive.

Oh, of the spray paint on the wall. Oh. Good grief. being treated as a hate incident. Like what about that is hateful?

I I mean It's Um This is Just wild.

Now, some people are like, well. You know, these are Because these e e I understand there. You have some people who are in Europe who say, well, it's controversial to say that, and it seems like it's intentionally provocative. That's irrelevant. Now, these now, this is in Belfast, so it is important to note.

I don't know if people understand like the history of the troubles in Ireland and the contentious relationship with the UK.

So Northern Ireland, you have UK laws and regulations, and that also includes regulations on speech.

So what you might be able to say, you know, like in Wexford, not the same thing that you can say and do in Belfast. And so there's the things are treated differently.

So that's why you have these kind of laws that are applied to this particular spray painting situation because they have UK regulation of speech. Because it's part of the United Kingdom. People understand that, right? You've got England, you have Britain, you have the UK, you have the Commonwealth. Uh it all mean different things.

But It's all it's irrelevant 'cause this is stupid. This is dumb. It's not to the exclusion or to the hate of anybody else. The revolution is complete when the language is perfect. There is a reason for that.

We have more to come.

Now, tomorrow we've got, I'm not going to do a live chat of this, but I do have a piece working up. The DeSantis Newsome debate is tomorrow. And that's going to be at 8 p.m. Central. It's going to be in Georgia.

They're not going to have an audience there, so that's going to be different. Because I think. Uh I think that actually is going to work in DeSantis' favor, but I think it's going to harm Newsome a bit. Because I've just seen him at different public things and I think that he He will react off audience to give himself a beat to think. And and I I and I Think that sometimes DeSantis, I think he might be better without an odd.

It's going to be this is going to be weird to see because you've not had this kind of matchup before. I also think that It's purposeful. to cut out the leaders of both parties in the polls anyway. Interesting and well, the national, but if you think those matter. And now, all of the news you would probably miss.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

So police say that a man was arrested after following this woman home. and hiding under her car. That's yeah, WRAL. They said that the man, 25-year-old Trevor Lewis, was found beneath the woman's car. He followed her home from Walmart.

This is in Massachusetts. And he was arrested on Mondays, being held without bond while out on pretrial release for previous stalking charges. That's why women need to be armed, I'm just saying. I don't know. Uh let's see this.

New York drivers who need vision tests. Could lose their license after a COVID rule expires.

So, in New York, they had this rule that they implemented to curb crowds at the DMB when the pandemic was happening.

So, it's going to expire this Friday if New Yorkers haven't gone in to certify their vision requirements because they previously could do it online, self-certify. Then they're gonna lose their license. And so far, about 50,000 drivers have still yet to submit vision tests with self-certification, according to the DMV. That happens when you have big government. But I wonder how many people are actually aware of that law.

Hmm.

Cursive is making a comeback in public schools by law in Montana and in apparently in California. 2016, they had. Five. They realized that kids weren't able to read cursive very well. I guess this has been a long time coming, but they had the California legislature unanimously pass.

Uh the teaching of cursive or what they call joined italics. handwriting in grades one through six. My youngest son, even though, so they were homeschooled up until oldest to eighth grade, youngest in to like fifth grade, and they both learned cursive, but the youngest, Never liked it, always fought it, and actually struggles to read cursive now. The oldest can read it. He had the most beautiful handwriting of any person I've ever seen.

Like his handwriting was literally perfect, it looked fake. But cursive is valuable to read, they say, for historical documents, increases writing speed. And it's actually a great way to make sure that students don't use AI.

So cursive is making a comeback. Who knew that cursive Would be that solution. Stay with us. We've got more in store. 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. Let me ask you this. What do you think? that Chicago has become America's largest outdoor shooting range. You think it's because of Chicago citizens.

who have no criminal record. But who have often a gun in their home for protection? Or perhaps for hunting.

Okay. Or do you think it's because of a finite group of criminals who have wrap sheets as long as King Kong's arm.

So, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Missouri actually have higher firearm death rates. Obviously, there's certainly. What about Chicago?

So I don't live in Chicago. It's not my primary area of research. You don't have an opinion on that? I think there's easy access to firearms combined with environmental conditions, lack of great education. There have actually been studies showing that when you green vacant lots and repair abandoned buildings in urban neighborhoods, you see decreases in gunshots and violence as well as in stress and depression in the neighborhoods around them.

No disrespect, Doc, but that sounds a lot like a word salad to me. Hmm.

And he's right. That's Senator Kennedy, the good one from Louisiana, talking to this doctor who is, they're speaking before the Senate about firearms. And I want to correct her statistic because she is wrong about one thing. Welcome back to the program, bottom of this third hour. Dana Lash here with you.

You can listen around the country. You can also watch a simulcast of the radio program, too. statistic that she likes that she and the left like to give they like to say oh no these red states have serious crime too yes red states have well when you break it down and you actually look at where the crime is occurring guess where the crime is incurring It is in the Democrat, generationally Democrat-run, super blue cities. It's not outside of the super blue generationally Democrat-run cities where the crime is increasing. And this is supported by FBI uniform crime reports from the latest that have been released, and that's in 2022, all the way back to the beginning of time where this has been measured.

And it's all publicly available on this thing that we call the Internet. And it shows you it breaks it down region, it breaks it down county, city, state, everything. No, so she is absolutely incorrect. The places where the crime occurs are: A, places that have more gun control, and B, Democrat ran generationally so. In my hometown of Missouri, guess which two cities drive the homicide rate for illegal possession of firearms?

St. Louis and Kansas City. In Texas, guess which cities drive the homicide rate using illegally possessed firearms? Houston. Austin, Dallas.

It's not out in Waxahatchie. I'll tell you that. It's not out in Amarillo. I'll tell you that. It's in these generationally run Democrat areas.

where they also implement gun control measures. And you see that time and time again in every single state across the nation. These are unarguable figures, these are unarguable facts. Green space really? You know Chicago's problem.

And the media just loves it when I talk about Chicago. Chicago's problem is they got a repeat offender problem. A few years ago, this was literally hours after I did the town hall on CNN about Parkland. And I had to go and speak uh before the Vice President at the time at CPAC. Uh and I was So mad that I saw these media cameras back there because I just had literally, I was on four hours of sleep.

I had to take a late flight. From Miami into DC, and then we had to be down, I think, at the CPAC room at 7. And I had watched as CNN was, you know, positioning a camera before this grieving mother's face at the Parkland Town Hall. She wasn't there for a political agenda. She was there still grappling with the fact that all of these people, the law enforcement up to the school administration, had failed them at keeping this very known violent person, keeping their students safe from this very well-known violent person.

And uh Speaking at CPAC, You know, it made me think of all of the times that you see this happening. The left hates it when you bring up Chicago because they're forced to eat their ideology. They don't want you to talk about Chicago. They look at Chicago, they act like, oh, that's a cop-out. Except, it's not.

Chicago is everything that the left has ever said that they wanted in a city, and it's failed. Particularly with gun control. The former superintendent of the Chicago P. Deed once said it's the same 1,400 individuals that are driving over 86% of the city's crime. They offend, they get slaps on the wrist, they go out and reoffend.

They offend, they get slaps on the wrist, they go out and reoffend. Same thing over and over and over and over and over again. Same thing over and over again. And It is Sad. It reminds me of this case.

And I was looking at this. Uh Do you remember it was the Teenager who was it was near Tower Grove Park, I believe. I'm trying to find my peace on this. And it was this. a teenager that had previously been involved.

Tower Grove Park when I lived in Saint Louis was just I mean, I could run to it. Uh this teenager had had had a A Long History. Uh in juvenile history Uh he had already been in trouble, been before the judge already. He was supposed to have uh Excuse me. He was supposed to, I think it was, he was supposed to have been.

Uh it Under not under house arrest, but he was supposed to have been. Uh in the house, you know, at sunset, etc. Vondur at Myers. I wrote a lot about this because this happened shortly after we left.

Sorry, it was in the Shaw neighborhood. And He had uh He had a history. He was eighteen. This is about a month and a half after the whole Michael Brown thing in Ferguson. You know, this teenager was not supposed to be out and about.

He already had a history, 18 years old. He had a judge reduce his bond to like under what the required amount was, like less than 10%, in order to get out of the last time he was before the court. And He was killed because of restorative justice. He was running with a drug, he was running with a gang, running drugs, came across a cop. Fired at the cop, the cop returns fire and kills him.

And it's sad because he's 18 years old. An 18-year-old that would have been alive had the judge not given him wrist slap after wrist slap. An 18-year-old that was killed because of the indulgence of this false understanding that restorative justice pretends to have. It is not compassion to withhold penalty as a way to teach a lesson or as a way to get somebody right. I mean, that's why the whole spare the rod spoiled the child.

When you withhold. Discipline. Discipline is not cruelty. when you withhold it. That is, you're spoiling a person, you're ruining a person.

This 18-year-old, they thought it was more compassionate to reduce his penalties for all of his previous offenses down to nothing, slap him on the wrist and let him run out with gangs and run drugs in Shaw, and the Shaw neighborhood, which was like right by the area that I was in, McKinley Heights. And so What what is more compassionate? You know, enforcing the law and upholding the penalty. And getting him off the streets, even if that means that he is confined for a while. or let him run out in the streets and now he's dead.

You tell me what the compassionate response is. That's restorative justice. And the same thing happens every single day in Chicago. And the left thinks that this is somehow more compassionate. You know, back in 2010, Otis McDonald, who's a civil rights hero, and the racist left, yes, the racist left.

will never give Otis MacDonald the respect he is due. He's passed, he passed away in 2014. He is a civil rights hero. He was in a Chicago city neighborhood. He was tired of seeing his neighbors' homes get broken into.

This man was a veteran. He knew his way around a firearm. He wanted to be able to possess a firearm for his own self-defense. City wasn't going to allow it, so he sued the city of Chicago and it went all the way up to SCOTUS and it set a precedent. He's a civil rights hero.

And he did it because he was tired of being told by the same government that wouldn't allow him to have a gun: we'll protect you, but they're not out there protecting you. And then when they send people out there to protect you, they blast the people that are protecting you, drag their characters and impugn their characters, drag their reputations through the mud so nobody wants to actually serve and protect.

So that leaves the innocent people. to be able to protect themselves. Not everybody can do what Otis McDonald did, but he did it. This happens every single day in Chicago. When I went up on that stage in CPAC hours after the Parkland Town Hall, what I said was every bit of, I mean, oh my gosh, the headlines about it was crazy.

They went after me headline after headline. They said it was maternity theater. Which I thought was hysterical, is a sexist headline from the Atlantic, no doubt written by a man, uh, progressive man. They said that, oh, the exploitation of grieving mothers, et cetera, et cetera. Because I said, The remarks that I had said, which still rang true today, I said: many in legacy media love mass shootings.

You guys love it. was my direct quote, and I was a thousand percent correct. I said, I'm not saying that you love the tragedy. But I am saying that you love the ratings. Crying white mothers are ratings gold to you and many in legacy media.

That was my direct quote, and I was 1000% correct. Still am. The legacy press is inherently racist, and that's what they don't tell you. They want to lie and they want to project their moral failings onto everyone else. But look at the way that they give coverage.

They will, and this is what they did through the AstroTurf Mom's Demand and everything else. When they had their list of school shootings, do you realize that only a third of those? And they're incredibly rare, which is, you know, and still horrible nonetheless, but that's not my point. My point is that they're rare. But they would include things like drug deals that happened at property in the same area as being a school shooting.

And it would have it'd be like a drug deal gone wrong at like. You know, midnight at a property down the road from the school. And that was literally counted as a school shooting. I covered this in one of the books that I had about it, where I went through this list exhaustively. But they want to scare people, suburban women, into thinking that everybody's kids are at risk because suburban women they think will be loud and the press is going to pay attention to them.

The press pays attention to them. But what about the moms in Chicago? That gets to watch these repeat offenders every single day. Are there concerns for their children?

somehow less important than the moms, the suburban moms somewhere out in You know? uh out in Kansas or out in Florida or anywhere else? But that's the thing. The media doesn't pay as much attention because they think, oh well, It's just another horrible weekend in Chicago. Oh, it's another horrible drug deal gone wrong.

Oh, it's another horrible gang story where a youth is shot and killed with an illegally possessed firearm by another youth. Why is there such a discrepancy in the reporting of these lives? Do those lives not matter? There's the lack of consistency by the media. Because you have the equivalent of a school massacre that takes place pretty much every weekend.

But why don't they care? If you want to have a discussion about race and ethics, let's have it. But you got to talk about why they don't cover Chicago. You got to talk about why they don't cover St. Louis.

You gotta t c talk about why they don't cover Houston. Why don't they cover Kansas City? Why don't they cover LA? Why don't they cover what's happening in the Bronx? Why don't they cover Why don't they cover those stories?

It's weird. They seem obsessed with a certain type of story and a certain type of demo and a certain type of crime involving a certain type of people. And they want to tell you that it's about saving lives and doing things fairly, but what they hide. Stores like Chicago. That's why Otis McDonald did what he did.

Why didn't CNN host a town hall in Chicago? I never got an answer to that question. How come they never hosted a town hall in Chicago? Probably 'cause they didn't want to hear from Black Guns Matter. Probably 'cause they didn't want to hear from Chicago Guns Matter.

Probably because they didn't want to hear from the groups of mothers there who are like, we love our city and we're going to stay in our city and we shouldn't be treated any differently because we don't live in the burbs or because our skin color is different. Our children's lives matter just as much. Probably because they don't want to hear from those mothers.

Now you tell me who's exploiting who. Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts, because knowledge is your ultimate superpower. I do believe also that we should evaluate risk. There's a lot of discussion on AI that is about existential risks. And those are real, but one should also ask existential to whom.

So we have an image of the Terminator and Arnold Schwarzenegger and the machine, and right, machine versus man. Many would argue that that is something that we should take seriously as a possibility. It is not a current threat. Good. Um Ma'am, are you high?

This is a whippies. This is a Wendy's. That's um Our super smart VP. I was afraid I was taking your Today in Stupidity audio, Kane, and you're like, no, I have so much more. Yeah, she keeps talking.

What was this at? This was at some nobody pays attention where she goes. I have a surplus of stupidity. Where was this at? Like, this is a forum.

Yeah, she's doing some form with the New York Times right now.

Some I guess Some Deal Book Summit or something. I don't know what's going on with it. Does anybody? Does anybody know? They send her to notice how they just send her off into the pasture on these like really weird like these little weird events.

And They just send her off. These weird events, and then I mean, the thing is, they intentionally put her in front of an in-friendly. environments. Is there cane and unburdened by what has been. And the Collection from her.

Only about 70 that extended 70 different ones that exist on the internet. I mean, you could turn. everything she says. And two I mean, all of her remarks, you can break it up into just a million little really ridiculous sound bites because there's more. There's a lot more of this.

What was she saying that time was? Is that the one? This is the one that's set up.

Okay, I'll save that. I'm not going to, I won't get on. I'm only 40 seconds away here. I'll get on that. But yeah, oh man.

It's Something else. I'm telling you.

That's uh she's a heartbeat away, y'all. That's what I'm saying. I think that there is, and coming up later this week, that's one of the things that we're going to discuss. Uh because I I think that People need to be very careful. With the newsom thing.

I think there's some fire being played with here. That I think it has to be handled. Uh Very carefully. All right, Tanina's stupidity. I don't mean to take up all your.

All right, it is. Yeah, we did tease it. It's our vice president, Kamala Harris. All right. So Of all things that are chronological facts.

I would think age is one of them. Age is definitely a chronological. Yeah, I mean, that's how it's literally how you measure.

Someone's age.

So let's hear what she has to say about that. To the point, because it is a point that has been made. First of all, I would say that age is more than a chronological fact. I spend a whole lot of time with our president. Be it in the old office or in the situation room.

The only thing age is. Is a chronological fact. That's like all age is chronological fact to factually measure. The time. Yeah, I I mean Wow.

But yeah, that's believe me, there was much more. Believe me, there was much more today from that deal book summit with the New York Times. What is age if it's not a chronological fact? I don't. Little now.

Who says this stuff? She's like a Martian. Who says these things? I can't we got a whole other two days in this week. She's got more things.

Folks, make sure you sign up for the newsletter over at Substack. I'll be back with you tomorrow. Behind the mic.
