Thursday December 14 - Full Show

About a thousand of these illegal border crossers every day are getting away to parts unknown in the U.S. Does the President think that is a national security risk? Here's what I'll say. One of the ways that we also have to look at this is what Congressional Republicans have refused to do. They have.

They refused to support previous requests from the President. What they've asked to do actually hurts the issue, hurts the problem that we're seeing at the border. They said no to border agents. They've said no to new technology to fight fentanyl. They said no to additional troops.

And they voted on eliminating 2,000 customs and border patrol agents. That is what Republicans have done. The president is asking to do this in a bipartisan way, to find some compromise to deal with an issue that hasn't existed, existed for decades now.

So that is uh KJP, the White House there, who is Letting everybody know, look, uh We have no idea what we're going to do with the Biden. They have no. Look, they have no. Responsibilities, apparently, and there's no accountability either. And that's the other problem with this.

First off, welcome back to the program. We are at the top of our first hour this Thursday, and we have a lot to get into as we roll towards the weekend.

So busy. House, they passed the impeachment inquiry yesterday. And then, of course, the Senate passed the NDAA, which we're going to discuss. Super bad, super dangerous. And one of the reasons why it's so incredibly bad is because of the FISA stuff that is included in that.

And we're going to talk about some of that as well, break down what is in it, what you can expect, maybe what might happen with it. In the house, because remember, the house is kind of fighting back and forth with their approach. And so, we're going to look at all of that as well. We're also going to dive into some of the latest with Israel because it's weird. It looks as though Hamas may be kind of waving the red.

The white flag of surrender, sort of, or at least retreat. I mean, however you want to put it. Maybe, perhaps, at least retreat. But they've been pumping the water into all of those tunnels that have that are there, the 300-some-odd miles of tunnels beneath Gaza.

So we're going to discuss all of that. We're also going to get into.

Some of the positioning with Biden on this, because as I've said earlier, it really does feel like he's. Kind of crumbled on this, doesn't it? I mean, he really. And then some new polling is out. Regarding Hamas's popularity in Gaza.

Now remember, We've gone over the history of Gaza and the West Bank and Fatah and Hamas and the Palestinian Authority and so on and so forth. We've gone over all of that. And the thing with Gaza is that. I mean, when once they elected Hamas back in 2000 after Israel unilaterally withdrew in 2005, then you had Hamas that was elected in 2006, you ended up they ended up enjoying such extreme popularity that they were almost elected in West Bank also. And that's why they had the authority that suspended the elections.

And we've talked about the popularity.

Well, there are surveys out. I don't know who took the time to do this. I mean, it seemed kind of obvious. But there are surveys. out that have just that have gotten into the uh state of things.

The popularity that Hamas still has. from Gazans. And you know We've also talked about this too to the extent of this is one of the reasons why a lot of people. Supported the Martyrs Fund after that had been created. When even some in the West Bank were a little shocked about that, we're going to dive into all of that.

So there's a lot to hit today. And of course, we got Florida Man, and we have Quick Five and all of that, our headlines, and all of that good stuff.

So the impeachment inquiry passed. And so a lot of evidence there. And the inquiry, now let's explain again just in case people are off sides about this. The impeachment inquiry is not the impeachment process. Yeah.

This is what Democrats didn't go through when they voted to impeach Trump. And this is why there were people who were very. Uh, angry, even if they were moderate, who were angry about that process? Because, in order to carry out the impeachment, what are you carrying out the impeachment on? What are you impeaching someone of?

What is the purpose? What is the point? Because if it's if you're not bringing forward criminal charges. Then it doesn't make any sense, right? And that was the whole point with this.

People weren't bringing forward criminal charges in this. There was no inquiry to uncover evidence. And in fact, there wasn't evidence. The FBI wouldn't even validate the dossier. And I say this as someone who has a different choice in the primary.

And I say this as somebody who calls balls and strikes. There were no criminal charges. There was no criminal evidence to bring that impeachment. They forewent the whole inquiry process in the first place, which is so weird if you're trying to. Convince Americans that you were going about this the fair and even-handed way, which, you know, the first step of that would have been to have an inquiry.

So they didn't have the inquiry, right? They just went right into an impeachment. They just basically voted and said, You can't sit with us. That was the whole purpose of that. They voted and essentially said, You can't sit with us.

That this is that's that because there was no criminal charges involved in this at all. There was nothing to bring forward.

So, this is one of the reasons why, and as I've said before, I think that Republicans are incredibly smart to do this the way in which they are doing it. Because if you're bringing forward evidence that has been discovered in this inquiry, It really does prove to Americans that you're not politicizing this and it's not just one big giant witch hunt because that's really what a lot of people felt about the last process. It looks like you're really actually trying to accomplish something here. You're trying to do something here. And so.

That's what they were. That's the whole purpose of making sure that there's a very transparent inquiry process in all of this. With the inquiry process, now they're going to go through because they've got a lot of evidence already. And we've talked about some of that. We've talked about a lot of that evidence because now, because they've formalized this and they've authorized the formal impeachment inquiry, and the process before this was to just see if they had enough evidence there to substantiate a vote on this.

This is the proper way to do it. If you're going to do it, this is the way you got to do it. This is what Democrats didn't do.

So they can't say Democrats can't say that this is a politicized thing because remember, a lot of this has been kicked off by the suspicious financial activity reports that the banks kicked off. Had nothing to do with Republicans. That was the banks that were like, wow, why is this family shuttling millions and millions of dollars between these 20 some odd shell companies? And this money's coming in from China, from the CCP, it's coming in from Ukraine, from the Burisma Board. And it's going into bank accounts that have Joe Biden's name on them, also.

So what's going on here? That's what kicked all this off. Let's not forget this. And so now they've stated they've got enough evidence to launch the formal impeachment inquiry. And so by launching the formal inquiry, now they're going to discover any kind of evidence that could.

Could lead to like a criminal charge. That's what the point of this is. This is the correct process that Democrats skip, which is why a lot of people. Who are big Democrat supporters, this is a foreign concept to them because they didn't see it done properly the first time.

So now, what they've done, now that you have this authorization of a formal impeachment inquiry, the Bidens now, through discovery, they can have their bank records. All of their mortgage details, all of their emails, their text messages, their mobile, all of this stuff, anything that Congress wants to see, Congress can subpoena this. And That's what this now allows and means and what it means.

So now they have the authority to look in to see if there have been, if there's been any kind of criminality, any kind of high crimes and misdemeanors. And it can be launched by Mike Johnson, the speaker. It can be launched by really any member of Congress. If they secure the majority for the action, so they have the inquiry. If they come up with the evidence in the inquiry, which they probably have it, that means that they then can launch a vote.

For impeaching in the House of Representatives. And so there are several committees that have already been looking at different aspects of these allegations. You have the House Oversight Committee, you have the Ways and Means Committee, you have the Judiciary Committee. They've all been investigating this to look at these deals, all stemming from these suspicious financial activity reports. And so now they're going to pursue more evidence.

That's what all of this means. It's a vote to pursue more evidence.

Now, if they come up, With these criminal charges, then what they will do is they will draft articles of impeachment based on the proposed charges based upon the evidence that they have collected. And then they'll look at the evidence they've collected, they'll prepare the articles of impeachment, then they will vote on whether or not they are going to adopt the articles of impeachment. And then they, if they, that's all in the judiciary.

So, this all happens in the committee first.

So, it'll be the judiciary committee that determines: okay, let's prepare the articles of impeachment. And then, what are the proposed charges that we'll consider based on the evidence? And then they'll vote on whether or not they want to adopt the articles. They'll vote it out of committee. It will be sent to the House.

The House is going to, then there goes through this whole process because then you have to, you got to debate to bring it to the floor. You got to open it and you get into all of these different procedural votes. And then, at the very end, then after all the debate is done, they face a vote as to whether or not they're going to send this to trial on the charges.

Now, the House determines, as you know, the House determines whether or not they're going to have a trial. The House determines whether or not they're going to do the investigation, if there's going to be a trial, if they're going to adopt these articles. It's the Senate that carries it out.

So it's the Senate that actually conducts it. After the house sends it. Then it's in the Senate's hands. And the Constitution requires a two-thirds vote of the Senate to convict him and remove him from office. Which is never going to happen with the Senate.

It will never happen with the Senate.

Now if the articles pass the House. though, and they send it on to the Senate, then you can officially state. that he will be uh impeached, then it's official. He has been officially impeached.

So this is this is the state of things.

Now I think there's no president, no senate in the history of the United States. There has never been a Senate that has convicted. the President of the United States and removed him from office. I mean, so you've had people who've been impeached because They've been passed through. The articles to impeach have been adopted by the Judiciary Committee.

They pass it to the House, and the House sends it up to the Senate. But even in the case of Trump, and that was two times. He was acquitted both times in trials conducted by the Senate. Even Bill Clinton, when that was all adopted by the Judiciary Committee and he was on obstruction and perjury, the Senate did not vote to convict him. He was acquitted in the Senate.

And Nixon resigned before he was even impeached.

So, I mean, that he was out before that even happened.

So, we can't even really speculate. I think it was, what, Johnson? Who He had a this was in the aftermath of the Civil War. He faced impeachment. But it failed.

There was two votes in the Senate to convict him.

So we don't have any we don't have any record of history of the Senate actually doing this.

So this that will never happen. Whether or not he can be impeached, though, that I definitely think will happen. Uh but the That's that's the whole that's the that's the whole point of it. That's so that's the process. That's what you can expect.

So, in football news, you guys are all going to laugh at this because I got a football headline for you. Bill Belichick is going to leave New England Patriots at the end of the season after 24 years in charge, following what they said. Oh, that's hurt you? It is surprising, I don't know.

Okay.

Okay, yeah.

Well, they said that it's a disastrous run. That's how it was described as. The U.S. Sun said, oh, 24-year run, it ended, you know. They said back-to-back losing seasons.

But he had all of the big successes, though. Anyway, uh, let's see. There's What? It's called the man pill. A holy grail male contraceptive that they say is 99% effective and 100% reversible, and they are trialing it on British dudes.

But apparently, only a minority of men would take it, and I don't blame you. That stuff sounds, don't be messing with your junk like that. Like, you know what I mean? Like, come on. Supreme Court agrees to hear a high-stakes dispute over the abortion pill.

CBS reports that the Supreme Court said Wednesday they're going to take up the Biden administration's bid to maintain access to a widely used abortion pill, marking the first dispute involving abortion that the High Court's going to hear since the overturning of Roe v. Wade with the Dobbs v. Jackson women's health case previously. They said it was brought by a group of doctors and medical associations, and they said the outcome of the case could have far-reaching consequences. The drug is my prison.

Miffpristone, that's the abortion drug, whether or not it can be, who can obtain it, who can prescribe it, all of that stuff, and whether or not, you know, when and if it can be taken.

So it's gonna govern all of that. Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, which we're gonna talk about here coming up, plans a no-whites holiday party. for members of the city council. The an aide accidentally sent out a group email invite. that meant only for electeds of color.

She actually sent that. She sent it out only for people of color.

So That's so dumb. We're gonna talk about this. A homeless man allegedly holds an Atlanta news crew hostage. threatened to shoot them ninety minutes later cops show up. This is in Georgia.

Atlanta First news reporters and a photojournalist were about to go live from a sheriff's office parking lot in Jonesboro. And they said they were cornered by a drunk man who said that he had a handgun.

Now, they raised the alarm, but it took 90 minutes for police to respond and arrest the suspect, who is identified as Brandon Logan. And they said that it took him 90 minutes to respond during the time he made verbal threats to shoot them if they did not order food or if they called law enforcement. That's according to the judge in WSB-TV. It was all happening in the courtroom. They said the victims attempted to leave their property, but because of his threats and he acted like he had a weapon, they felt like they were being held hostage.

I would have rushed them. I'm not going to lie. I'd have rushed him and beat the absolute snot out of him. I would have rushed him and I'd have beat him so bad. Like his generations back, three generations deep in history would have felt it.

But they, it's like, if they don't have it, you better produce, if you don't have a gun, if they have a gun, they're going to show it. That's just me, right? That's just me. If they have a gun, they're going to show it. Anyway, they said that they're still holding the investigation.

They said into what they called a breakdown in police communication. In fact, one of, I think this was the Clayton County Sheriff's Office. They said that they they were they were being investigated along with the Atlanta Police, Jonesboro Police, and uh Maybe they'll find 90 minutes. That's way longer than the average 19 minutes. Stick with us.

You said that President Biden was familiar with what his son was going to say on Capitol Hill.

If I called my dad and said, I am about to violate a congressional subpoena, he'd probably say, son, you shouldn't do that. Was there any attempt by President Biden to talk Hunter out of it today? We're going to call your dad, Steve. Look, um I don't have anything else to add. The President was familiar.

With what Hunter was going to say today. Nope. Eight. He's proud of his son. He and the First Lady are proud of his son, how he's rebuilding his life back.

He's going to focus on what is needed on the American people. Hunter, and I've said this many times as a private citizen, and so certainly I would have to refer you to Uh, to his representatives, I'm just not going to get into private conversations because what you're asking me is actually a private conversation. I'm just not going to get into it. First briefing since Hunter was indicted again. It doesn't matter.

Why just I didn't mean to cut but wait wait I don't okay I'm not buying that it was a private conversation so He can't talk about it? Yeah. There's no private conversations with the President of the United States. You're the president of the United States. There isn't a thing as a private conversation, especially as it relates to.

Your infant baby. How old is he? Fifty six, fifty seven. Infant. I mean, you're a child forever, apparently now.

Son. I'm just. I got a made of questions.

So welcome back to the program, bottom of the second hour. Make sure you sign up for the newsletter over at Chapter and Verse.

Some really good stuff up there. Lorraine has a very good piece up there about the Kate Cox story that we were talking about yesterday. You should definitely go and read it. While all this is happening, can we just stop for a second? and talk about What in the hell the First Lady tweeted.

Can we just for a moment Stop. 'Cause it's Christmas season, like I'm getting ready for the our our radio. Christmas party. I'm dressed like an elf today. Unintentionally.

Juan just choked to death. Juan just choked to death and died. We're going to have to reanimate him. It's the most color I've ever worn in my ever-loving life. I'm in red, I feel uncomfortable, I may change.

I may change on break. I can't do this. It's too it's too much. It's too like mm. And um anyway, so The First lady now, Joe Biden, tweeted of this dance troupe from New York.

showing off all of the different White House Decorations in all of the different rooms because normally I think they put the tree in what, like the blue room? It's a big. They put the big giant tree in the blue room. And the way that they, we talked about this last week, when, was it last week or the week before when all the decorations went up? And they said it was, what was the theme?

It was something completely discombobulated. It's candy and magic and wonder. That's the theme. That's so dumb. I want to Juan is showing the people on the simulcast.

So they got, they're tap dancing a version of the nutcracker. Through the White House, and there's a guy with a flower on his head coming on. There's this weird dude, and it's. First off, I'm going to turn into a purist. The nutcracker, nay, tis not tapped.

And then it's this chick in a blue dress, and she just looks like she. I mean, I've used a meme of this woman, she's going to be my response today for everything. And then these people that are dressed up, I guess one is supposed to be the flower puddle, one is supposed to be the nutcracker, one is the toy soldier. I mean, I don't know who the sugar plum fairy is, but these people are tap dancing all through. It's just a little cringe.

I don't mind. Showing off the decorations, I don't like the fact Nutcracker's not tap. I don't dislike tap. I mean, for Crying Out Loud, I did a workshop with Savion Glover, so stop. I don't d I don't mind it, but It's just why remember.

I think I'm bitter because of all the flack that Melania Trump got. I hate the guy with the pedal on his head. I want to hurt him, I want to push him over. He's in these high waters in his block taps with this multicolored suit on, and he's got a flower on his head. And then we got this one chick dance with a candy cane.

Okay, we get it. We get it. Go ahead and mark up the floor there. We're gonna have to clean up the floor after you tapped all over it. I can't deal.

R Am I being too bitter? Cain, will you talk to me for a minute? I'm still being so bitter about this because I'm going to be real. Every White House Christmas was so basic. And Melania Trump came in.

And it was And I just liked her decorations. And they tried to go at her because she had this one soundbite. It was like during a catastrophe. It was like some kind of foreign policy catastrophe. And she was saying, nobody cares about Christmas decorations right now.

And everyone tried to make it out like, yeah, Juan is isolating this picture. Everybody tried to make it out like they were, that she didn't care about Christmas. In fact, she was talking about, can we focus on more serious things? Juan, throw that out there because this is going to be my face to everything for the rest of the year. It's if you're watching the simulcast, it's just this lady.

The way she has her head tilted, it's tilted back perfectly to where she looks like she's Danny DeVito bald. And I guess that's supposed to be a face of wonderment. But if Shriek had a face, it would be hers. And she's, I don't know. That's was just, it was just kind of cringe.

But anyway, Melania Trump comes in. And she had these really cool red Christmas trees. It was got the Zolk get out, man. I was, as a maximalist, I totally dug it. And then they like they trashed her.

They said, Oh, my gosh, your decorations are so kooky and None none more than this. This is stuff an' nightmares. It's just cringe, it's basic. Oh my gosh, you put out peppermints for Christmas?

So original. Can I just indulge me? I've been so cool about this, you guys.

Now I can't be. Look, we're going to make our theme wonder and magic and candy. That is so stupid. That's so stupid. What is that about?

That's not what Christmas is about. Are you afraid to say it's about Jesus because somebody who loves a mosque is going to come and try to behead you? I don't know. What's what do you mean magic and candy and wonder? All you can eat is cheap candy because it's magic that you got it in the first place and you're in wonderment at how bad Bidenomics is working?

Is that how this goes? And those the the dancing. The guy with the pedal on his head, man, I'm not going to get over that. If I was in the dating pool, if I wasn't happily married. And I found out that anybody I dated had dressed up like that and danced like that in a video, I would drop them like that.

Boom. Be like, no, I'm sorry, this cannot go forward. This is done. I don't care if there was a year put into it. Done.

Can't do it. It's over. No man should be walking around in that kind of suit with a flower on their head simultaneously. And you're wearing those shoes with no socks. Those are block taps.

You're wearing those with no socks. That's so nasty. I can see your ankle hair. That's so gross. Nobody wants to be seeing that.

Shave it. It's gross. I did say that. Yeah. Do it.

I'm just real picky about this and I got issues, man.

So I'm just I'm a little bitter because I felt as though Melania Trump's decorations were really good and she got a lot of garbage for it. And she shouldn't have. She didn't deserve getting a lot of garbage for it. And they were, I probably, I think, perhaps my favorite. I can't even tell you what Laura Bush's decorations were.

Can you? I don't even know what her decorations were. What were her decorations? Nobody knows. There's nothing wrong with a Christmas poinsetta, Dana says, as she has two poinsettias at the radio party later tomorrow.

So don't be you're not gonna see him, huh? They're great. Yeah, they are great. They're poisonous to animals too. Don't let your dog eat 'em.

That might be better. But the peppermint stuff and like the big giant plastic candy canes, how much do you want to bet that most of that stuff was made in China? That they had festooned around everywhere. Just saying.

So that came out. It just seems a little tone-deaf. Especially after the hostages thing. It seems a little toned up, am I right? Am I being too bratty?

Please let me know. I just this has been pent up for a week. I have empathy. I mean, we do the politic thing every day and this you know, it it all seems like it's a show. And then you go and you see this and it's like It confirms it.

It's all a show. You know what they what would have been really good? You know what their theme should have been? It should have been Oliver Twist. Or, you know, better yet, no.

It should have been Tiny Tim from Scrooge. That's what their theme should have been. Not Scrooge, not Scrooge itself, but just Tiny Tim. That's what their theme should have been. Because that's what they're making everybody feel like across the country.

What a stretch, Jana, but it's true. Think of it. Your grocery bill is like almost a hundred dollars more expensive now than it was. It's so much more expensive. I'm already doing like the I had when I was sitting down doing the Christmas menu and all of this stuff and what we're gonna smoke and what I'm gonna prepare and I because I am I use, I always keep notebooks of all my menus that I make.

I am mentally 110. I keep a notebook of like a notebook of all, it's a binder actually, of all of my past menus and stuff because I'd like to, if this worked, I just want to be able to do it and not think about it, pull it out, boom, it's done. And it's less stress on me so I can actually enjoy time with my family. And I know what works, what doesn't, you know, I keep track of all of it. And sometimes I'll mark prices of like bigger items, especially if we're having like a lot, if we're feeding a lot of people, I'll put like a mark of how much this was, you know, and I'll probably put the year with it.

Dude, it's so much more expensive this year. It is so much more expensive. I mean, it's been more expensive the past several years, but particularly this year. Anyone who's telling you, like when I see them get up there with Bidenomics and they're telling you that everything is so much more affordable, where are they getting their groceries? Is what I would like to know.

Where are they shopping? Because their policies have turned Aldi into Whole Foods. For prices.

Now, I'm not knocking Aldi. There's some deals to be had at Aldi. Aldi's not bad, but I'm talking about prices. They have turned Aldi into Whole Foods.

Now that's not sustainable for most Americans. That is not sustainable for most Americans. I don't like to talk about charitable stuff that we do because I'm very book of Matthew about it, and I just feel like it looks cringe, and it's not why we do it. And I get embarrassed even talking about it. But We Uh, just to illustrate the prices and the difficulty people are having as a result of this, we always, like whether it's through our church or through different food pantries, we always adopt families.

For gifts and dinner and all of that stuff every year. And there are so many more families. And there were they actually did have a drop off. With one of the groups that we work with, particularly for the groceries aspect of it. Because prices had got so much more expensive, it actually, through inflation, it curtailed their ability to be charitable.

Now, this is a very interesting catch-22 with the policies that this administration has, especially at this time of the year. Because one of the things that people undertake, and not just around the Christmas season, but really all the time. is The caring of others and the stewardship of other people through the means that they have been blessed with. And that is spiritual edification. It's everyone should have the ability to do a good turn because there is spiritual edification that comes from that.

And When you are Your economic policies which are directly driving prices. When that has cut people's budgets in half. and reduced their ability To do both things, you are reducing their ability to pursue spiritual edification by. sponsoring another family's meal, buying their kids Christmas presents, doing all of these things. It is one of the it's this is the s spiritual dark side of communism and statism.

And I was talking with uh an email. with a group that that We had donated, we donated two before and we work with them for the meals for families. And they said, yeah, they had some more families. That signed up, but they said the thing that really got them was that they had fewer people. Who are able to come together, middle-class people.

These aren't just like rich people that do this. This is like people of every socioeconomic status that do this. But they said that they had fewer people doing it because there are a lot of middle class, regular average, everyday middle class folks that, out of the goodness of their heart, are doing a good turn to their fellow man. And their ability to do so has been greatly impacted by the economic policies of this administration. And I'm thinking, I was thinking about this.

This is all happening yesterday, and I'm like going back and forth in email, and I'm like, out of all the Bahumbug things. You're kidding me. You're kidding me. And that was just, I knew it, but. To have it elucidated.

To have that articulated in such a way by someone who works with these families every single day. There was a new level of realization. And it just It's to sort of hear them get out there. And tell people. No, no, no.

Things are not more expensive. Yeah, you have a right to get mad over that, and that's not something small to get mad over. That's something big to get mad over. And at this time of the year, for them to go out there and tell them lies? That's inexcusable.

We have a lot more on the way. I got a number of stuff for you. Gosh, we've got a lot of odds and ends to hit. We got to talk about the FISA stuff in the NDAA and talked about the impeachment inquiry and all that stuff. We're going to get into all of that.

So, have you ever browsed in incognito mode? It's probably not as incognito as you think. And why would it be? I mean, incognito mode, like the Chrome browser itself, is Google product. And Google has made its fortune by tracking your movements online.

And I look different, I smell different, my physical capabilities have changed. And when my breasts finally develop, I can actually lactate and nurse babies. What? With what? My favorite is when we play something really wacky, and I can hear Juan going, Moho, Ha ha ha.

He's like all the way in the corner. I can't see him because it's all dark over there. It's like the shadowy part of the studio. He's all back there going, ho, ho, ho, ho.

Okay.

What? Yeah. Um I'm so grossed out right now. Uh He is incorrect in everything that he said on that video. He will not.

Be it a woman ever, and he will not ever lactate to the point of being able to successfully feed a baby. You can produce some of. Prolactin? But You can't really lactate. Yeah, it's not nourishment.

You think you th it's not nourishment. I mean Shut up. That's so. That's not what that is. That's like.

Just because a dude's nipple leaks doesn't mean he's a mom. It's not happening. It doesn't it's never going to happen. It's just science. You don't have to be upset about it.

Why is that a quote on a t-shirt?

So Kane's gonna have his own line of merch. Just because your nipple leaks doesn't mean you're a mom. Cane to dudes. Here we go. Make note of that.

Might be able to shorten it up to the L gray. baseball camp or something. Yeah. Yeah, that would do that would be that would be make a note of that, L. Gray.

That that that's something that, yeah, we need that. Gale. And all this stuff.

Well, it is possible. No, it ain't milk. You can have, they can have like some prolactin, like if they're on like a heavy dose of hormones and stuff like that, but nah, it ain't mm. I mean They have to I love this. It's like, no, they can't lactate unless there's an underlying medical problem.

Like I've told you, like when they're like, men can have periods. If you're bleeding from your junk, see somebody, because that ain't normal. I mean, there's nothing no no shame in that game. Come on. I can't believe we're closing the first hour out like this.

We got to find something nice and regular to talk about. Stick with us. Second hour on the way. Oh my gosh. Looking for a proactive solution in the battle against COVID-19?

That's allfamilypharma.com/slash Dana, code DANA10. That's Dana and the number 10. He's also said that with respect to Gaza, whatever governance in Gaza looks like, it can't look like what it did on the 6th of October. With Hamas in charge, it's got to be representative of the aspirations of the Palestinian people. And that means it's going to require some leadership and some change in the Palestinian Authority.

Oh, because that's not going to happen. First off, welcome back to the program dating I share with you. Are we already in the second hour? This is weird. You know what happened?

It was that Willy Wonka acid trip tour that Jill Biden posted about. We all got roofied. do it. Dana last year with you, top of our second hour. That was fast.

I blame that. You can listen coast to coast. You can watch the simulcast, all that good jazz. Check out the YouTube discussion ongoing now and substack the newsletter, chapter and verse, all kinds of good stuff that goes out over it.

So there was John Kirby, and he pulled up his quote. And he's saying, well, the future governance in Gaza. You know, it's got to be representative of the aspirations of the Palestinian quote-unquote. Again, can I just touch on this for a moment? To answer, I don't know if they were trying to be a smart alec or not, but someone was like, Well, Dana, look at this verse in the Bible.

What does that word say? And I'm like, Philistine? You mean the Greek people? who had already left the area hundreds of years before Hadrian had even spitefully renamed the area after them as a result of penalty to the Jews for quelling the second Judean uprising, who were trying to overthrow their tyranny really? because they were a seafaring people from Crete, but okay.

Them because that still doesn't, there is nothing that supports. You can get mad at, you cannot like Netanyahu, you cannot like the Israeli government, but you can't create a fictional people and a fictional country and a fictional ethnicity out of the ether. And it's not supported by thousands. Thousands of years of antiquity, not in the Quran, not in the Bible, nowhere. End scene.

Because those are hashtag facts. Yeah. He says that the aspirations of the people in the two territories in Gaza and West Bank.

Now, again, just a quick recap. The Palestinian Authority is the umbrella. You have two of the The bigger opposing factions, Fatah and Hamas, under the Palestinian Authority. You also have the PLO, the PA. One was a signatory on a governing document.

They're all the same people. The chair of Fatah is also the chair of the Palestinian Authority. And so they hold power in West Bank, whereas Hamas won elections in 2006 in Gaza.

So there's the difference.

Now, here's why there was a split. Fatah Even though I still think they're terrorists, they at least recognized out of necessity that Israel had the right to just exist. I mean, that's it. No one's saying you like them. No one's saying that you sign their yearbook.

You don't have to vote for them for prom queen. You just recognize that, hey, they're here on this earth and they can be here on this earth. That's it. That's it. You're not co-signing anything except saying hey, you're here And you have a right to be here on this earth.

That's it. So Fatah did the basic Bare B minimum. out of necessity and they recognized that, whereas Hamas didn't. And then Hamas started winning all these elections because the people in the two territories agreed more with Hamas than they did Fatah. And they still do.

Case in point, I have a poll that there's a survey out.

Now this is the Ramallah based quote unquote Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research. They were surveying the people on West Bank and people in Gaza. And this is brand new that is out. It said, for instance, Here's one of the questions that was asked. This is not a push-pull either.

It says, in your view, given what happened after it, was Hamas's decision to launch its offensive against Israel on the 7th of October a correct or incorrect one?

Now Fatah. believed that it was incorrect. Or West Bankian sorry, which is run by Fata, I believe. that it was incorrect. The Gazans believed it was correct.

In the West Bank, the people who support Hamas. Over Fatah, they believed 82% to 12%. And Gaza, 57 to 37. Total, 72 to 22.

Now you can see Hamas still, there are a lot of people still aligned with Hamas. They still enjoy serious popularity. That's why the Palestinian Authority. suspended elections because Hamas was going to take over West Bank too.

Now, Hamas started to get a lot of popularity because they did not want to recognize Israel as its own standalone entity, a sovereign state. And the people in Gaza believe that, which is why they overwhelmingly voted for them in 2006 after Israel unilaterally left in 2005. And I know some of you are familiar with this, but for some of the drive-bys, I like to remind. Israel literally pulled up stakes. And again, you don't have to like Netanyahu or anything to acknowledge fact.

I mean, we're not flat earthers, okay? Jeebus. That's G-E-E-B-U-S. We're not flat earthers. We believe in history.

They literally moved. They left behind literally everything. They left greenhouses behind, irrigation, entire manufacturing facilities. They left everything behind. It's like if you buy a house, you don't even buy a house.

It's like you're given a house and you walk in and it's fully furnished. That's literally what it was. And instead of improving on any existing infrastructure, as Amnesty International reported two years after that. Hamas was already Digging up pipes and refashioning them as bombs to send over and rockets. And they were, and then you wonder why they have a sewage, they dug up half the damn pipes in Gaza City.

That was Amnesty International saying that, you know, that big bastion of conservatism at Amnesty International. They're all about conservative politics. Jeez. I so that's what they did. Then they dug 300 miles of tunnels underneath Gaza.

They NPR reported in 2008 They found a stash house of weapons at a school. Like, bomb! and rockets, all kinds of stuff in a school. They have a religious center that they use as a launch base. Their headquarters is literally in the Al Shiva hospital.

Literally. That's it's like and one of the reasons why I've said it's so well known. Is Because it's insane that a terror group uses a hospital as a headquarter. It's so well known.

So that's what they did.

So Hamas enjoyed such popularity. They almost lost West Bank to them too, so they suspended elections.

Now going back to the survey that is out from this Ramallah based center. Fewer than half of Gazans believe that Israel will fail in Gaza. They said West bankers are more certain than Gazans that Israel will fail. 87 and 44% respectively. They said only 1% of West bankers think Israel will succeed in eradicating Hamas, 17 in Gaza.

And they said that They said that Gazans think that they may lose the war. they may lose this, but they still They feel like Hamas is completely justified.

Now here's what's interesting.

So, Abbas, who's Fataside, they still don't like him. The people that support Hamas still don't like him. That's not so there's still that measure. Of discontent between the people who support Hamas and the people who support. Uh fata.

So, I don't know what's going to happen. I mean, and this is not too much, this isn't too different from a previous survey that was taken even before.

So I don't I don't know, like what I don't know what it takes. That's why this is not a political issue. This is like a a holy war. for these people. It really is.

So I I I mean This is just wild. It's wild. but they still enjoy major popularity.

Now, The other thing we talked about yesterday Uh it was the um leadership of Hamas that's been hiding out in these palaces in Qatar. And then they had one of the leaders, one of the senior leaders left, and they think That well, they think that he may have gone. Maybe he went to Algeria or maybe he went to Lebanon. But uh the Yeah. AL Monitor reported that one of them floated an offer.

Now listen to this. One of them floated the offer to recognize Israel's potential right to exist. and maybe fold itself into the Palestinian Authority. If as, you know, maybe a precondition, ma, you know, ma uh for ending the war, maybe to end the war.

So they said according to the reporting, quote, a senior Hamas official suggested that the Gaza-based militant group would recognize Israel as a step towards ending the long running divisions between the Palestinian factions.

So remember, the PLO, they've always recognized the state of Israel. The PLO is like the signatory and all this.

So there's, you know. It's weird. It's just weird to that they're trying to. This is after they started pumping water in the tunnels. They are They're they're they're trying to save themselves.

It's weird because you had the senior one senior Hamas official, Musa Abu Marzouk, who said, quote, you should follow the official stance. And the official stance is that they, meaning PLO, has recognized the State of Israel. I don't know if that's How you can't force it, especially up on a people. who supported Hamas and then were raised generationally. to support them.

Now they said because six weeks ago you had I'm gonna pull this up Who was the guy? Remember we had the audio of the guy? He was uh one of the Hamas spokespeople. Who literally went out and is like, We're never going to stop. It was Ghazi Hamad.

He said, we're going to repeat the October 7th attack time and time again until Israel is annihilated. And I think that was on Al Jazeera, or Al Jazeera rebroadcast it. I don't know. But That's that's crazy. That's crazy.

We can't play it because Al Jazeera will try to demonetize your video on YouTube. They try to file, even if you're talking about it in a fair coverage. Uh, fair use, they still try to go after you. It's ridiculous. I mean, it's nobody even knows what fair use is anymore.

I think it needs to be better policed on social media because no one's changed, it's literally news. And it's on a news network and you're quoting someone talking about them in a news fashion. But such is this is the stuff that we deal with with YouTube every day.

So, this is what that Hamas official was on November 1st when that video came out. That was November 1st. That was a little over a month ago.

So what's changed? I mean seriously, what has changed? This is wild. I I mean, I don't know.

So now They say, well.

Well uh Now we're going to have this? Like what so what's what's gonna be the new The noob, the noob. point because they literally had That Hamad guy. who was insisting that Hamas was within its quote legal right. to do what they did on October 7th.

I um I don't know. They keep saying the word occupation. It's not an occupation. I don't know. But.

The Idea that October 7th was justified. That I mean, there that was the Kashi's belief that Israel needed in order to declare war, really.

So I don't, that was not an aggressive act, that was a responsive act. I I don't know. They weren't under occup occ occupation. And they had a ceasefire on October 6th.

So I don't know where they think they're gonna go with this, but You have clearly two distinct strains within Hamas' leadership right now. And one of them left to go try and went elsewhere. And I don't know if that's because it was because Mossad was hunting them down. I don't know. I don't want a ceasefire.

I want a more fire. Personally. Because I think that this is I don't think that there should be any room for these guys to come back. I think they need to be obliterated. I think all the leaders of Hamas need to be killed.

They absolutely need to die because this is never going to go away until they do. Hamas needs to be not decimated. Decimated is only 10%. Hamas needs to be utterly destroyed. Every single leader, every senior fighter, every single person who gave them shelter needs to be destroyed.

This is this is a war. War is ugly, and bad guys who have spent twenty years Trying to incite and killing people need to go. They cannot coexist peacefully. They've proven that they don't want to coexist peacefully. And we need to stop this sick experiment that's like costing innocent people their lives.

They got to go. But Biden's crumbling. We have more on the way as we roll towards headlines. Looking for a proactive solution in the battle against COVID-19?

But here's the burning question everyone wants to know: Was Kohl's cash involved? They argued for lesser charges because they said there was a sale and they had coupons. They, you know, what that's actually brilliant. I'm not gonna lie. Like, they are totally shady and they deserve the punishment.

But if you're gonna defend yourself, why not go whole hog? They were convicted of felony theft. They stole from a Kohl's store in Colorado. The defense attorneys argued for misdemeanor charges. They said, look, the amount of the value of the stolen items, you're overpricing it because they were on sale, actually.

And they said the items were valued at $2,095. And so Colorado punishes thefts under $2,000 way more lightly. And so that's why their defense attorneys were arguing for lesser punishment because they said, no, no, no, this stuff is on sale.

So actually, the total value of the stuff they sold is under $2,000.

Now, the dudes in question. It gets more entertaining. Michael Green, age 50, and Byron Bolden, 37, were nicknamed the Kitchen Aid Mixer Crew. Uh, in reference to the kitchen appliances that they stole, uh, they also took designer shoes and clothing, but they said, No, no, no, this stuff actually was under 2000 because it was on sale, they also had coupons if you apply the coupons. How do you apply the coupons during a theft?

Daily dose of intellectual adrenaline? Look no further than the Dana Show podcast, where curiosity meets courage by following on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. What was tried to be done with FISA was to bring two bills to the floor, unamendable. decided only by small groups of people. That's what was occurring.

And with respect to this, it was decided by leadership. Both sides to take and jam FISA extension on the back of our men and women in uniform, bring that to the floor in violation of our rules for single subject, and then say take it or leave it. That was what was done. That was the compromise. See, if you poke the bear in this town.

Right, they don't like to be poked because it changes the way this town works, heaven forbid, because it's been going so well, so beautifully. that we have $34 trillion in debt. And that we have rampant spying on the American people that is occurring. In 2020, in early 21, the FBI conducted 278,000. improper searches of Americans according to the 2022 Fisk report.

We're just supposed to trust the FBI has fixed that. In June of 2022, an FBI analyst conducted four queries of Section 702 information using the last names of a United States Senator and a state senator based on information that a foreign intelligence service was targeting those individuals. We have rampant abuses going on, and this body is just going to extend the very mechanism of those abuses on the back of the National Defense Authorization Act and say, have a nice day. Merry Christmas. Go home and have your turkey.

Go home and be with your families. That's what's actually occurring. Wow. And he's right. That's Congressman Ship Roy.

From the beautiful Republic of Texas, who was on the floor in the House, and he was blasting it because the House sent this bill. To Biden's desk. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you bottom the second hour. Amongst the policies.

that are in this Is the Pentagon-funded pride stuff? That's what they wanted struck out. That also includes. Uh well there's a bunch of stuff in with that. I mean, it's it's It's pride events.

That Are funded by the taxpayer. These are events that celebrate how you have sex. Why the hell is the military doing that? The military. has one job It's two words.

Kicking Yeah. One job. Two words. That's it. So now we're just going to put rainbows on everything.

What is that going to solve, by the way? For real, like what was the whole purpose of them? What, what, what, I don't understand what, what is the purpose? of doing this. This is like So that's one part of it.

The other part. Is you have this World War II lend-lease thing that provides all this stuff to Ukraine. That So we've spent The spending alone for Ukraine is like $800 million. I'm sorry, what? Yeah, mm-hmm.

And that's off of Uh looking at this Council on Foreign Relations. $65 billion already. Or sorry, $75 billion. That's just an aid and logistical support. And this is when, as Red State noted, there was a very interesting piece that Red State had.

Where they talked about how the Pentagon would hit a panic button as it failed the sixth audit in a row. Pentagon for six years in a row. They failed a self audit of 29 standalone entities. That is $3.8 trillion in assets. 3.8 trillion in assets.

Seven of the twenty-nine audited entities. Achieved a passing score. A whole seven? Wow, seven. They got a passing score.

The Medicare Eligible Retiree Healthcare Fund received a qualified opinion. The auditor found quote unquote misstatements.

Now, if you do that, misstatements, it's a lie. If you lie to an FBI official, you go to jail. You don't even have to be like swear under oath or anything. If you're talking to FBI and you lie about something, You go to jail. That's why I don't talk to anybody in the FBI.

I've literally had conversations with people. No offense, no offense. I'm sure, I know there's some really good agents out there. This is not you. It's your bosses.

It's definitely not me. It's not you. It's your bosses. But I literally have talked to like really good people who are in the FBI, and as soon as I find out they're in the FBI, I'm like, I can't talk to you anymore. Not that I feel like lying, but I mean, hell, do you even need to lie any more?

So I'm not even exaggerating. Literally that happened during a church thing with us. I'm not even exaggerating.

So The indicting auditor found misstatements. They didn't change anything. You had. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the National Security Agency.

So s so yeah, for six years in a row, they failed an audit. That hasn't changed, but yet we're going to give them more money. And let them do more stuff. Not only are we giving them more money, but we're literally allowing them to do more things. without proper authorization oversight.

Without proper oversight. Because you're getting into the FISA stuff. And of course Uh Biden's going to sign this thing. Of course he is. I mean this is It's an asinine thing.

That this is that we've had all of these because Kane, how many? How many uh Republicans voted for this? You had the number. Um 147 voted yay. On this.

So we have the warrantless domestic spying program that the FBI abused. that we've just we've we've allowed to go through. You know, the same The same we've allowed The FBI, who was tracking parents at school board meetings, now we're allowing them to do more things. This is authorized by Section 702 of the FISA Act. That was post-9-11, so it's all Patriot Act stuff.

And they are able to get warrantless looks at your phone records, emails, other electronic communications. In 2021, the FBI ran more than 3.3 million queries through Section 702 alone. And this is a Huge bill. Mike Lee was apoplectic over it yesterday. on social media.

Because you don't even have to have a warrant, you don't have to have a warrant. I mean, think about all of the abuse that we've seen. Uh from The FBI over the past. S cu several years. Just look at all of the abuse that we've seen.

And now we're allowing them to do We're doing more because Under FISA, under the seven under section seven o'clock, The NDAA enables the FBI's ability And essentially tries to nullify the Fourth Amendment. Because in order to do to have these warrantless searches. You have to deny the Fourth Amendment. the prohibition again against warrantless search and seizure. You This should be a big deal to you if you're one of the people who thought it was ridiculous.

that the FBI used the Patriot Act. to surveil parents. Who spoke out at school board meetings and tagged them for their database as quote unquote domestic terrorism. That should really concern you. If you're one of those people who is very upset over law enforcement agencies watching what you were saying in the wake of COVID, that should really upset you.

If you're one of those people, maybe you had questions about the election. There are some people on the right who did, some who did, and some thought it was entirely stolen. If you had any question, or if you even hiccupped anything. You know, if you're one of those people worrying about federal oversight on that, then this should very much concern you. I uh really wish.

This is where I get mad. at the tribalism of the Republican Party. Because all these dudes are out here having a phallus measuring contest, and you know what would have been really great? Particularly if Trump would have done this. If he would have gone out there and said, Yeah, look at the way the FBI went at people at J six.

And you're going to have the and you're going to have Congress that's going to vote to enable more of this? Out of all the people who should have been screaming about this, it should have been him. Did he? I seem complaining about other people, but I didn't seem complaining about this. This will affect people long after he is not anywhere near political office.

I mean, people literally were imprisoned over unlawful parading. Out of all of the people who had a platform, To scream about that. It should have been him. Can you imagine the attention that would have brought? If you were to come out and said, look at this NDAA bill.

Look at section 702. Are you one of the people who, you know, where were you on January 6th? If you were even, you didn't have to be in DC. They were arresting people who weren't even there. And this I we were on air when it happened.

We slammed the vandalism immediately. I'm a taxpayer. This is my house. But Don't sit here and tell me that people who were literally not even in the complex that legit were arrested. There's some millions of stories about it.

There's receipts, there's records, there's affidavit, all this stuff. It was so far above and beyond, it was ridiculous. But now, when you extend Section 702, how does Congress make reforms? This is a question that Ray and Paul brought up. How does Congress make any kind of reforms on this?

Because now they can collect communications with under FISA. I mean, it's like putting, it's like injecting a steroid shot into a Patriot Act. I've never I did not like the Patriot Act. I did not like the argument that people were making about it: that, well, if you don't have anything to worry about, well, that's just the thing. What you have to worry about is determined by the political environment any more.

If you just don't even vote the right way, then apparently you've got something to worry about. This is just, this is bad. It'll get worse if we lose twenty-four. And the fact that you had so many lawmakers in the House that voted for it.

Now, Johnson originally said he was going to allow a pair of these 702 authorization bills. Reason magazine had noted this: one of them was a reform bill. that to come to the House floor for a debate, but that didn't happen. I mean It's a short-term reauthorization.

So there's One, I guess, good sign, it's a short-term reauthorization. If I'm trying to, I'm not trying to justify it, I'm just trying to find a way that you can fight it. Because next year, I think before spring, it it's going to come back to the floor and we're going to have to have this fight again. But so I'm curious. We need to have people be making some arguments about this, especially those.

whose campaigns maybe perhaps were very affected by it, right? Do you have any cane hope that this was short term? Do you have any hope that this is that they'll? That somehow they reverse this? Or that Biden won't sign it?

Well, Biden's going to sign it, but it's only a short term.

So I don't know. Hopeful. That will get somebody who, you know, these people have, didn't they swear an oath to the Constitution or no? Am I just mad?

Well, I mean, we're just cherry-picking anymore. Right, right, sure. I mean, you have some that just want to get rid of your Second Amendment. You have others that want to get rid of your Fourth Amendment. By the way, this is one of the things I asked Kane on break.

All the people that are upset over the compromise, I just like to see a Venn diagram. Where's Kamala at? I want to see all the people who are mad over red flags and all the people who are mad over this. Right. It's actually worse.

It's like you voted for a giant red flag.

So I'm just, I'm made of rump. We got a Florida man on the way. Let's have a little bit of sanity from Florida Man. That's how bad it is. As we get moving, our.

It's his life mission to make bad decisions. Wait. Yeah. It's time for Florida Man. Man, some of these are wild today.

Like, what is up? I got a guy over here selling 40 pounds of horse meat and all kinds of stuff. Like, what in the world? All right, first off, this dude, this Florida man. stole an ambulance.

And What took police on a chase that ended right literally in front of the sheriff's office. Like literally pulled up in front of it. Yeah. Yeah, that's pretty convenient. Columbia County Sheriff's Office, the deputy was helping EMS with a patient who was in an altered mental state.

Probably under drug influence. The guy, 35-year-old Stanley Williams, got in the ambulance and just drove away. Sheriff's office says at some point it suffered tire damage and it struck a curb and Williams drove it into the entrance literally right into the entrance of the Sheriff's Operations Center, like right into the entrance. Like right by the flag and everything. Like, you know, the little garden area in front of some of the stuff right up to the damn door.

The whole ambulance. Like the cops ordered delivery. Yeah, it does, actually. It's like hello, EMS delivery.

Now The sheriff's office says there was no damage to its property other than some of the cosmetic damage to the lawn.

So They said it's not every day a pursuit ends at our front door. Oh nice. Yeah, they So the guy's got charges of grand theft, fleeing and eluding, all pending. Uh-huh. Do I want to get the guy at the horse meat?

'Cause uh, we had one guy who checked out of Walmart with literally he the cashier the cash register is not for sale. Does that have to be said? You didn't buy it.

Well, or for stealing. It was 8:30 on Sunday, Walmart in Palm Coast. Flaker County Sheriff said a Florida man took the cash box out of her register and legit walked out with it under his arm. They don't know who he is. He's balding.

He has a red shirt on. He's making a stupid face. Yeah. Man, the video of that guy driving this right up to the sheriff's office, too. Can I just come back to that for a minute?

Was wild. That was wild. Was it a woman driver? It was wild, man. I keep watching that video.

It was on autoplay. I've seen it seven times. It's just. Oh, okay.

So you guys are like, wait, tell us about the horse meat.

Okay, yeah, that was. This guy was busted for selling forty pounds of horse meat. You can't do that. It's like illegal. This was gosh.

This guy, his mugshot says, Yeah, I did it. It was a horse meat sting. In a Home Depot parking lot? A Miami Lakes dude got arrested on a felony charge, according to police. They said a horse had been slaughtered for its meat.

Police coordinated a setup. Uh to purchase it from this dude. And You he got basic home, man. The informant gave him five hundred dollars, and he got a large black plastic bag of horse meat, forty pounds of what they said was illicit meat. Illicit meat.

Add that to the list. Illicit meat. They said that you can't sell horse meat for human consumption unless it's clearly stamped, marked, described as horse meat. etcetera, etcetera. Uh it has to be from a licensed slaughterhouse.

So I guess t is that a way to make sure that I don't like I just think that if you're buying. unidentified meat In a Home Depot parking lot in a black trash bag, illicit, then you deserve whatever the hell happens to you. That's just like your penalty. It's like a tax on stupidity. That's nature's tax on stupidity.

You know what I'm saying? Like, then you deserve. Whatever. Whatever happens to you then. Uh, let's see.

It was a a old man fight in underwear. Yeah. Should I save that for tomorrow? Yeah. Because this is, I mean, it Whitey tidies galore, and they were both old dudes screaming at each other in the middle of the road.

In underwear. We'll save that for tomorrow. It's third hour coming up. John, why does somebody around here leak that the Vice President is upset with the President about Gaza? And that's a great question because I just, I mean, if I could answer a question why somebody would leak.

I mean that would make me pretty smart and a lot smarter than I am. Just give me a second here. You've seen us officially and on the record, not in a week. Refute the basic premise of the story, that there's some sort of daylight between the Vice President and the President. I found the headline of the story interesting: that the Vice President is pushing the White House to you fill in the blank, XYZ.

Last I looked, the Vice President is part of the White House. She's part of the team. And if she wasn't offering her advice and counsel to the President on innumerable issues. That would be a story. Her job is to provide advice and counsel to the president.

So she does want President Biden to show more concern publicly for humanitarian damage than in Gaza. We have, I think we've already pushed back on the premise of the story that there's some sort of daylight between her and the president. I would say that the entire leadership team here in the administration, Peter, wants to see. No civilian casualties, wants to see the Israelis be more surgical, more precise, wants to see that humanitarian aid is increased into Gaza. And obviously, as the Vice President has said herself, we all want to make sure that Israel has the tools and capabilities they need to defend Israel.

John Kirby has some definite tells. I love watching people when they get into these situations. because they develop a pattern. of tells. and you can immediately recognize.

If they're selling you. You know. A bunch of snake oil or not. Welcome back to the program. Top of the third hour with you, Dana Lash, here.

So, I love the question that Peter Doosey had asked him because he's like, okay, so do they not see eye to eye? the V P and the President because there's reports that they don't. And Kirby's, he went into this like vaudeville performance with his hand gestures there. I mean, I felt like I was watching a soft shoe. Routine Good grief.

Man's out there with his head. Hands fossy, and then he jazzed it up with some fossy. I mean, my gosh, he's out there. His cane was selling it. But he does this thing where, have you noticed he brings in the corners of his mouth?

He's able to somewhat purse his lips together as he makes his eyes bigger. And then he starts, he brings his gesticulation closer towards his body. It's like his elbows become attached to his ribs, and he's just very uncomfortable. And he does, like, he's trying to really emphasize it. It's like he retreats into himself as a safe space.

It's fascinating to watch. I just love watching that kind of stuff, the body language, whenever they get into these very uncomfortable situations.

So, welcome back again to the program. This was all on Israel. They're trying to figure out if there's any, if there's any. Uh The president and the vice president, where it concerns Israel, because they're not seeing eye to eye on stuff, clearly. I mean, but it also looked like Biden's caving.

It does look like he's caving. I don't know whether or not, however, this ends up, because now you have, we were talking about this last hour. with Hamas seemingly looking as though you have some leaders who are uh kind of wanting to try to I guess uh Undo what they did. I don't know how to describe it. They can't press the backspace key.

There's no control-alt-Z here. It's some are describing it as a retreat. I don't know if I describe it as a retreat, but I feel like they're trying they do this thing where it's like, okay, we've, we've been, uh, you've assailed us for this long.

Now let us give us a couple of years to regroup. Let's pretend that we're going to negotiate some sort of coexistence. And in that time, we'll regroup and we'll get more money and then we'll do this all over again. That's why this has got to stop. They've been doing this since 2005.

This is why this has got to stop. Absolutely, it has to stop.

Some of the other things that we're hitting Because we were talking about NDAA. Cain, what was all the stuff that was still in it? You were going, because they have the taxpayer-funded. Unnecessary medical surgery. Yeah, sex change surgeries.

So, along with that, I'm assuming.

So, veterans got to wait for care. But if you want to chop off your schlong and invert it into a frankinginer, then you can do that. Which will then require continued forever medication. Exactly. Because doing something like that, you know.

The paid-for-abortion trips. Yeah, abortion on demand as birth control. Obviously, warrantless searches. Which we just went over.

So, yeah, it's whatever it is, it's not so is this American military or is this a welfare scheme? I can't tell the difference anymore. That's a great question. I can't tell the difference anymore. You can't go into the military if you have flat feet, but if you want to invert your wean, then you get get it covered.

Am I understanding this correctly? Then, not only can you come in, but yeah, we'll pay for you to do that too. That's what passed. Boy, that sounds real battlefield ready, doesn't it? The military is discriminatory on purpose.

And I don't think if you are so uneasy within yourself that you feel like you got to mutilate your genitals. In order to function day to day, I don't think you're fit for military service. As a taxpayer, I can say this. You have every right to say this. And I'm just going to say that I think it probably doesn't bode well for overall.

you know, serve as health. We can't be dealing with that. Don't forget $600 million solid for Ukraine. By the way, through 2025, which means they plan on this. Going?

So 2025? Ukraine-Russia stuff? Yeah, apparently they do. Apparently they 'cause they they got a lot of money to launder. It's lunacy.

Over there. They have a lot I was they have a lot of uh a lot of money to launder. Uh Zelensky was in DC shaking everybody down, doing his h doing his uh Oliver Twist routine. Yeah. Because we know that some of the money actually went to pensions and things like that.

Just give us a they don't even tell you what you're paying for. I mean This is a lot of money, a lot of taxpayer dollars. Nobody's just owed it. Nobody's owed this. You're not owed all of this all this taxpayer money.

But they don't even give you like a running estimate of it. None of that. Audio soundbite, four. Listen to this. This is Zelensky talking about this.

Listen. What do you say to critics who are saying that? I say such person from government or mayors. Think about the war. think about how to defend our people.

Don't travel through the world each day. Travel to the front line. Ask people, ask soldiers, what they need. Do this. not built Roads for today.

Don't do it. Spend all your money to the weapon, to the drones, to the society, to the pensions, and etc. And don't cry. Because you are leaders, and that's it. That's why, that's why we are, and that's why we stay, because mostly people.

People are not trying. People stayed. and fight against Putin. And we don't have any enemies in our country. We can't have and can't have time for this.

And we don't have it. We have only one enemy. This is Putin. But go back to the The other P were the the pensions. What?

What is he talking about there? Spend all your money? On Pensions. What? I just um I don't uh I think because no one has ever told us what our money goes for.

And there's no answer when you ask people, well, what does victory look like? They can't really tell you because that area, the Dombus region, is so disputed. Noting this, by the way, does not mean that you love Pillow McFace Commie Head over there. You know. Uh Vladimir Putin, old stanky leg McPillow face, who probably has body doubles.

One of those dudes that I saw without a chin, that dude looked like a body double. Did you see that? See that photo from the side? I mean, it went right down into that dude's neck. right down at his like bottom lip went right to his neck.

I've never seen that. Have you ever seen that before? I was like, is this an optical? That's that dude's face. That was a body double.

That's a body double. I sound like my mother. Oh my gosh. Just the realization just washed over me. I'm telling you.

Maybe. How do I get it out? Gosh dang it. It's buried under my stuff. Hang on, I'm live on here.

You want me to? Right now. You want me to do it? Yes.

Okay, I'm going to. I've got to get it out. I'm going to do it right now. Do it. This tinfoil hat moment is made possible by Faraday Labs, specializing in reducing harmful frequency radiation exposure with their unique apparel and accessories.

That's FaradayLabs.com. Faraday Labs with a Z.com. And right now, believe it or not, they have a code, code Dana. All your parts. Get your zone.

Yeah, get your discount. You guys think I'm joking? This hat, literally, I can put my phone in it, it doesn't ring. Imagine what it does when the government's trying to read your brainwaves. Dude, he has a body double.

Yeah. This this Putin thing, I saw a photo, it was supposed to be him meeting with some leader. His chin, he had no chin. The real Vladimir Putin has a chin. This guy, I've never, he had no chin, and it went all the way right down to his neck.

I don't even know how you live like that. I'm aligned with you 100%. I think governments have been putting body doubles in place for certain things for many, many years. His ear was shaped differently? Yeah.

I spent 40 minutes of my life looking at this. I feel like I'm an expert now. Is the Biden that we see bumbling and fumbling every day?

Okay, I didn't look at him, but I don't know. That's the real Biden? I don't know. Okay, I haven't gone to that level yet. But I'm just wondering, like, he was talking, you know, as long as he was talking about pensions and everything else.

I'm like, what about that other P word, too, Putin? Because You know, it's a very disputed area there, the Dompus region, but If he's not an If he's not, I mean, is he? When's the last time anybody saw the actual Putin? And by the way, it was just months ago, like a month and a half, two months ago, we were hearing about his. Incredibly horrible health situation.

His leg, all. Yeah, so my dog has what we call a stanky leg because he had back surgery. Putin also has a stanky leg. Is my dog Putin?

Some would call it a limp. But yeah, it's something. No, it's not a limp. He just kicks it right out. He has no idea it's right there.

He has no idea it's even there. Yeah, but I mean, I wouldn't be surprised to find out and get confirmation that there's body doubles. for leaders. Like Putin. All I know is, I saw a dude who was pretending to be Putin, and he had no chin.

And his shirt was like right up underneath it. It looked like if you have a Barbie doll. And its head falls off. And if you're a little kid and you took it to your grandpa to fix, and grandpa, you know, everything, grandpa's a hammer, and everything's a nail. Manny would just cram that Barbie's head b and the Barbie looked fat 'cause her head was right on her collarbone.

And that's what this guy's chin looked like. And I've never gone down such a rabbit hole based on one characteristic in my entire life.

Now Juan's showing you. Dude, his face He looks Like an old baby. Yeah, I don't see this body double wrestling bears or diving for treasure.

Well, he's a lot older, though. That side part, man, that's extreme. But that's, you know. That's that looks like what I would buy at like Spirit Halloween if I wanted to go as Putin. You would buy that mask?

Yeah, that's the mask at Problems. That's the mask that's because it looks pretty convincing. But you're right. I'm just saying. All right.

Well, that was our tinfoil hat moment. I'm just saying, I'm just going to keep it like this. Again, FaradayLabs.com. Faraday Labs. It's actually literally a Faraday Lab.

Yeah. For your hat. Use code Dana. You'll love the because this practical. Yeah, the people on the radio can see it.

It's actually woven in. into the fabric. That's a modern-day hat. I just think the science of it. I just ring when it's in here.

It's a modern-day tinfoil hat. What you have on right there, it's literally, it has Faraday capabilities.

So there are no signals right now going, or no, nefarious. No, no, nefarious. Signals go. It's actually a very nice fabric. I don't understand the science of it.

I'm like, ooh, it feels like cashmere. That's all I can. I don't understand. All I know is when I put my phone in it, it doesn't ring. Got the pair of lamps.

I kid you. I'm saying I wonder like if can you tell what I'm thinking right now, Kane? I was going to guess alcohol because that's That was probably. All right, we got to get rolling though. Oh my gosh, we got headlines coming up.

I can't believe my mom's gonna be like, I'm so proud of you for talking about that for a whole segment. I've always agreed that. I'm gonna send it all to you, dude. I'm not even gonna entertain it. Golly, if you're at her work and you're listening, don't tell her I said that.

She's coming for Christmas. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

So, I gotta tell you, Republicans are not messing around. This is just out for the Run for Santos' seat, George Santos' seat. The GOP, they have a nominee announced. And this is pretty crazy. This out of ABC Channel 7 New York.

I mean, this seems like an unbeatable candidate. Mozzie Pillip, it's gonna be in the special, what is it, February is when they're doing this, New York's third special election to fill the seat. Uh, Pillip is a Nassau County legislator who is an Ethiopian Jew who served in the IDF, a mother of seven. And I asked my kid, who is basically Marissa Tomei from my cousin Vinny on guns, what was it? An M16?

40 mil with a what what was it the tube at the bottom I was like, is that a scar that she's got? Like, what is this? Oh my gosh. Like, how do you put? That's like having all.

All the boxes checked, but it's like in Uno, it's like having all wild cards. All wild cards. This is an all wild card Uno hand. Dang! Dang, GOP, they're not messing around in this seat.

That's our whole headline section because that was, I was like, ooh, they're being serious about this. Stick with us. We got a whole lot more on the way. 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.

Could I oppose? Senate Bill 1819 because it is the solution in search of a problem. Simply put, 3D manufacturing of firearms would be an entirely ineffective way for a criminal to obtain a firearm. Fourth. This bill would be an unconstitutional infringement on the First Amendment speech rights of law-abiding hobbyists and firearms enthusiasts who simply want to share specifications or unique.

about unique or antique firearms. At the end of the day, We don't have a device problem. We've got a people problem. And this bill represents another attempt by some to use fear. And misunderstanding to layer more federal regulations on an already highly regulated industry.

And then to that, preach it. Because what are they going to do next? Are they going to start going after 3D printers? This is the Senate Bill 1819. That's the 3D Printed Gun Safety Act of 2023.

Ed Markey, Ed Markey, Ed Markey, he, Democrat. from Massachusetts introduced it. Sponsored it. It's uh They've been fighting over this since June, I think, is when it first came out. And that was, by the way, that was Senator Ted Budd.

Who's talking about that? Uh in that sound bite just then. And it is, it is a speech issue because you're you're and and people aren't 3D printers are getting more and more affordable. But there's literally no evidence that shows that that's what's driving crime. That's not what's driving crime.

Good grief. They're going after everything except the damn thing that's that's driving crime. It's like, golly, this dam busted. Look at all this water flooding everything. You know what we need to do?

We need to turn all the water off in these people's houses so they don't make more water to make the flooding. It's like that, instead of doing anything about the dam that's busted. Welcome back to the show. Dana Lash here with you. Bottom.

Of this third hour, Cambelieve is already our third hour. A couple of things I wanted to touch on. Uh so they had I think I had put this out. Who should this was the White Coast Waste Project? I don't know if you guys saw some of this.

Uh I'm kind of fascinated by the whole thing. Because they've got I got to share with you because I didn't even know they were doing this. I didn't know this was an area of study. This is a little stuff that they spend our money on.

So they have The EPA And I learned how to hate the EPA from Ghostbusters. A lot of people have stolen that from me. I stole it from the Ghostbusters. No, I I learned how to hate the EPA from the Ghostbusters.

So they have been using taxpayer dollars. To fire 9mm and M fours, and have mice breathe the gun smoke. to study the pulmonary toxicity of particulate matter emitted from firearms. Kane, you're lucky. What is it, Kane?

Again, they'll find any angle they can. Any angle they can, whether if it's on environment or Taking away your Second Amendment rights. They're just combining this. They're trying to make guns still a public health issue. That's what they're trying to do.

This is check this out. They have the description, quote, We collected smoke particulate matter from the firing of two different type guns, 9mm handgun and M4 rifle. The particulate matter samples were chemically analyzed and assessed for lung toxicity and lung function in C D1 mice via orophonegal aspiration.

Okay.

So they breed then this stuff. And What'd y'all determine, you morons? That's what they're doing. They're using text. I want to know how much.

Tag it's White Coast Waste Project that that found it. I'm terrified to look at their website 'cause I'm gonna get so mad. I just don't even wanna look at it. But they look, it's animal testing. They look at how much, you know.

How much is tested on animal testing? And I'm not big on, yeah.

Well, this, I gotta tell you a story. Oh my gosh, I can't even believe I got this far into the show, and I didn't even tell you this. I I'm not big on animal testing. I have a I don't really want to go down this road. But I don't I feel like you that we should do if we're going to test anything on anybody, it should be on like rapists and child molesters and violent serial killers, and we should use them as human lab rats.

I'm not kidding, that's what I firmly believe. Anyway.

So I'm not all I I I'm not so much on testing on animals. But yeah, that's what we're spending money to make this to make firearms a they're desperately trying to make it a health issue. Desperately trying to make this a health issue.

Okay, can I tell you the story of what happened yesterday? Yeah. It's not on the rundown and I wasn't going to talk about it.

So we're because you guys know I feel like all animals love me, and whenever I'm in nature, I feel like Snow White. Except like if I'm out for summer sausage, then look out because I'm hungry. And I want, I mean, I don't have any, I don't have any summer sausage right now this year. I was like, somebody better get up out in the woods and fix it. And I told my husband at one point, because I just haven't had, I've been like hunting twice, literally in my life.

My uh husband and son have gone. And they haven't they haven't been able to go out this year. I know. And I'm like, I've just, and I was just musing out loud. I wasn't seeing this as a serious thing.

And I told my husband, I'm like, oh my gosh, I just wish I could go and get some fennison. He's like, yeah, it's the woods. I'm like, I know that. Smart Alec. Anyway, long story short.

Uh My son was outside, and we I'm like getting ready because I host a Christmas party, right? For we have our radio people that come out, and you know, I host a Christmas party. And getting ready for the party and getting things set up. And I just don't have time for a lot right now. And my son is standing on the porch, and my other son, who's home from college, is looking outside.

He's like, He's got an animal. And my first thought was, Oh, yeah. a fun new friend. I'm so excited. You know, I'm like a free pet.

And I opened the door, and he's got the squirrel in his hand. And he's got. He's holding the squirrel's like neck. And it's like leg, it's back. I have no idea why I tracked animals with gimpy legs, but I do.

And its back leg was like all gimpy. And I'm gesticulating for those of you listening. And apparently, and it was weird, and it was like jerky. I feel like it had a neurological thing happening. It was, I think, it was clearly dying.

Yeah. And My son was like, what are we going to do? And I'm like, what are we going to do? What are you going to do? Oh my gosh, I don't know what to do.

It was very cute. But I also know that it's a tree rat, and they have really sharp teeth. And so I'm like, well, good grief. And my husband was just not into it. He was already like at the end, he was short-tempered that day, yesterday.

and uh displeased and short-tempered. And so we're dealing with this issue. And he's like, you know, we hunt these damn things. Mm-hmm. And I'm like, I don't know what to do.

Like, you know, he feels like he rescued the squirrel. I don't know. And so I call Animal Control. And Animal Control is like, oh, yeah. I'm like, look, I realized that, you know, I come from the Ozarks.

We eat these things. I literally had an uncle that experimented with his brand new dehydrator that he was super excited to get and made squirrel jerky, which was basically like cracklings. I'm not joking you. It was basically like cracklings from Long John Silvers, but I digress. I'm like, I just don't know what the hell to do here.

And I'm like, do I shoot it? I, you know, I can't really, you know, I got a 22, I can plink it right between that. I'm like, what do I do? And they're like, Oh, well, hey, they gave me the number of this nature habitat thing. Like, we need more squirrels out there And they gave me the number of this very sweet lady who had the most amazing Texas drawl that I've ever heard.

And She lived like an hour away from me. And I'm and that's when that's when the you know, the truth saw the light. I'm like, look. I ain't driving an hour one way in rush hour traffic. When I'm trying to do all before the squirrel, that's totally going to die.

Because I was looking at it and it was just all herky jerky and weird, and it was totally dead. I'm like, I'm not going to do it.

So I'm like, you know, son, you got to, I mean, I can put this thing out of its misery, old school style. You know. Um We ended up I didn't get to do that. It went on a lake trip. Nobody put it in the lake.

It just, you know, was put back into nature. Because there was nothing we could do. And we were, the lady was like, oh my gosh, whatever you do, just get it out of his hands. Because if it comes out of shock, I don't think, I think it was like dying. I don't think there was anything that you could do.

Because I've seen. I've had I have Animal Levin family members that have rehabilitated squirrels. This one looked so far gone. I mean, it just didn't look right.

Something was seriously wrong. It was like a neurological thing. It couldn't jump. It couldn't walk straight. It was just so messed up.

And, um, I mean I don't know. It was it was sad and then I was all depressed. And I'm like, oh my gosh, like, did I not do enough for the squirrel? You know, then the little good angel comes on my shoulder, the one that usually beat down into like deep into my soul. Um, and the good angel appeared and was like, Yeah.

you know, you didn't have this girl And I've started feeling bad about it. And then my son was like, you know, you 'cause we do. We s we donate a lot to animal, uh, to shelters and all this stuff. Again, it's not stuff that I talk about 'cause this mat book of Matthew. We do.

Um we support a lot of shelters, uh pay a lot of vet bills. uh for shelters and all this stuff and they're like so it's one and my son was like so it's one squirrel You know, and this squirrel looked pretty bad, mom. And he's like, and look at, you know, we've taken care of Rocco, and look at all the other stuff we do, and we've taken care of a scorpion. And I'm like, yes, we did.

So I don't know. I feel.

Okay.

But there's still part of me that was like, I the snow-white part of me that was like, oh, I'll take care of you, little squirrel. I'll be your friend, squirrel See, there's like that.

So, thoughts Kane? When I was younger, I'd I uh you know, when you find baby squirrels and you want to do the little feed 'em. You know, with the bottle. No, I never did that. Oh, yeah, no, I did that as a kid because we lived in a neighborhood where that's all we had: just nothing but tree rats in the back.

And there was baby ones. Tree carp. Right. But the baby ones that would fall out of the tree or whatever. Yeah.

Well, those if they're like stunned. Yeah. I remember taking care of a couple of them as a kid. I caught a field mouse once and brought it in my house. That's what started it when I was in the middle of the day.

Have you seen the videos, though, of some squirrels going just nuts on people? Like, yeah. That's that one. The lady I was on the phone with, God lover. She was like, now you need to get that out of his hands because.

That it will chew through the bone. And she is like so loud, and her voice is: I cannot do a Texas drawl to save my life. It's so much different from like a regular Southern accent. And I mean, she was like very adamant about it. I'm like, ah, and I can only imagine like us driving.

to take this damn squirrel in and it's it it's I put it in a box with a blanket. And I just shut it. I didn't know what else to do. I'm like. And I'm like, I can just imagine us one hour in rush hour, and this thing gets out, and the box is shaking, and it's everything's going to hell.

I can only imagine. Luckily, it didn't go down that way. No, and my husband, the entire time. is looking at me like a man watches his wife. not back into a parking space.

With the same level of frustration and just Disappointment. Is that not back into a parking space? Yeah. Okay.

Yeah. Well, we're trying to, you know. Like, if you, I just regularly pull in, and I cannot do that to save my life. I can, anyway.

So, and he was, he's just like, we eat these. I'm like, we don't. You do We don't Yeah so Oh my gosh, and it's true. Like, my grandpa would go squirrel hunting all the time. Like, I'm not, but this is different.

Have you had squirrel hunting? Yes, I've had squirrel, I've eaten. Everything. Foxtail squirrels. I mean, I've eaten Gator, I've eaten squirrel, I've eaten.

Entree or appetizer, you know. I don't know. I'm sorry if I just ruined your meal tonight, but it's true. Anyway, so that's my story, and I don't know why I thought of that with this because the animal testing thing. That's why.

But I just now, but I still feel bad. I'm like, I'll take care of you, squirrel. I still, there's a part of me that's like, did you do everything? thing you could have Did you? I just, that's in my head, and I want to punch it, that voice, so bad.

I want to take my good angel and just. Pummeler right now. I don't know. I feel like I did everything I could have. Right.

I want to isolate that audio. I just want to punch my good angel. It's just But I mean, I don't know. And it was, and my son, my oldest son, is also like, he's like, goes out, and nature loves him. Nature's like, yay.

Like, he goes out, and all the hard shots, like, if he's hunting, become super easy to him. It's like he has aim assist on. I don't know. It's weird. So I'm like, how are you like this?

So look, the President actually spoke to this not too long ago, I believe on Tuesday actually, just a couple days ago, and he says we know there's more work to be done, right? And that things are still unaffordable. And so while the price is available. Anyone wants to know why she's cosplaying as a John Deere tractor? That's what he said.
