Friday February 9 - Full Show

Something the special counsel said in his report is that one of the reasons you were not charged is because in his description you are a well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory. I'm well-meaning and I'm an elderly man and I know what the hell I'm doing. I've been president and I put this country back on its feet. I don't need his recommendation. It's totally...

What is your memory and can you continue as president? My memory is so bad I let you speak. My memory is fine. My memory, take a look at what I've done since I've become president. None of you thought I could pass any of the things I got passed.

How'd that happen? You know, I guess I just forgot what was going on. Mr. President. If voters have concerns about your age, how are you going to assuage them?

And do you fear that this report is only going to fuel further concerns about your age? Only by some of you. I mean, I don't know what the hell I signed up for last night, but I'm like, you know what? I'm going to have like. It was one of those rare evenings where I didn't have a whole lot going on.

And I'm like, you know, I got some projects I got to do. I got. You know, I got some stuff going on. I, you know, I'll, maybe I'll get, you know, maybe I'll get some stuff for it, you know, to make, uh, start planning my Easter dinner. Maybe I'll start doing that.

Start planning my Easter dinner, right? Or maybe, you know, maybe I'll play a little Warhammer. I don't know. Or maybe, maybe. Maybe I'll crochet some.

It's my old lady hobby. Nope, nope, because the president decided to add a speech to his schedule. It wasn't on there previously. He decided to add this speech. And I was doing all I was getting my stuff ready and I was checking out Tucker's Putin interview, which we're going to talk about.

But I was checking that out. And then Biden was like, I'm going to do my speech now. And I don't know what I expected. Do people want him? I think they hate him.

I think they hate him and I think they want him to lose. That's the only reason I can see as to why you would let that guy go out and do what he did. Welcome to the show. It's Friday. We made it to Friday, ladies and gentlemen.

Dana Lash here with you. A lot to hit. You can listen coast to coast, all that good stuff. You can also. Stream, thank you.

It's Friday. Stream the radio program. And you can also watch the simulocast of the radio program as well. If you check it out on Channel 347, if you look at DirecTV, that's what it's on. YouTube, Facebook, always good discussion over at YouTube as well.

But I'm still recovering from the plague. It takes your girl a little bit. And so You know, I'm looking at this. I was going over all the clips of his speech. I don't even know where we're going to start because I feel like you guys, because you guys, we were like tucking your kids into bed last night.

Y'all were getting your clothes ready for your workday today. Y'all were packing your lunches.

So you didn't watch this stuff because you gotta work, right? This is my job, so Can I, can I also, wait a minute, where's this at? Where's this at? Where's the one? He threw his whole staff under the bus.

You heard his his back and forth with Doocy there, just a minute. Uh, just a second ago. Oh my gosh, this is so bad. Can we please play audio sound by? Yeah, seven.

Thank you. You take responsibility for at least being careless with classified material. I take responsibility for not having seen exactly what my staff was doing. It goes in and points out things that appeared in my garage, things that came out of my home, things that were moved not by me, but my staff. But my staff.

This is the question I had asked. on social media. Last night. Because I was. stunned He so.

The giant A Double Snakes Tower of Boxes in the corner of his garage.

Next to his Corvette, He didn't notice? He didn't ask? That's my question. He didn't notice any of these things. He didn't ask about any of this stuff.

That's my question. I don't get it. I got. Doesn't make any sense to me. I mean, people know what's in their garages.

My garage is kind of a hot mess, but I know what's in there. I can tell you every little thing that's in there, every little bitty bit thing. But that's me 'cause I know what's going on in my life. You know what I'm saying? Like this was nuts.

So he blames his staff. He blames his staff. Can we do the flashback? Audio Soundbite 1. This was when he was raging on Trump with the classified docks at Mar-a-Lago.

Listen. And you saw the photograph of the top secret documents laid out on the floor at Mar-a-Lago. What did you think to yourself? looking at that image. how that could possibly happened.

How one anyone could be that irresponsible. And I thought, what data was in there that may compromise sources and methods? By that I mean names of people who helped or etc. and just totally irresponsible. Do we want to play seven again?

Just a Just to compare again. I mean, we just played, but I mean, it's a night and day difference. Just hit it again, Juan. Just go ahead and play the hit again. Seem careless with classified material.

I take responsibility for not having seen exactly what my staff was doing. It goes in and points out things that appeared in my garage, things that came out of my home, things that were moved not by me, but my staff. But my staff. See, it wasn't moved by him, it was moved by his staff.

So this so the classified document probe, what do you went and spoke about? Is that Uh The guy who controls the nuclear codes. was found to have mishandled classified info. But the Department of Justice isn't going to pursue it. Because they literally say he's not competent to stand trial.

So this is what special counsel wrote. We have also considered that at trial mister Biden would likely present himself to a jury as he did during our interview of him as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory. Based on our direct ob interactions with him and observations of him, he is someone for whom many jurors will still want to identify reasonable doubt. It would be difficult to convince a jury they should convict him, by then a former president well into his 80s, of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness.

So potatoes doesn't Have any like state of willfulness. He's just an empty basket, so to speak. They actually don't believe that he is competent enough to stand trial. That's why they're not pursuing this. Oh my gosh, but it gets worse.

Oh, it gets worse. Audio Soundbite 8. I want you guys. To see if you can spot what's wrong with a statement, go ahead. The conduct of the response.

In Gaza in the Gaza Strip. has been um over the top. I think that uh As you know, Initially The President of Mexico, Ossisi. did not want to open up the gate to allow humanitarian material to get in. I talk to him.

I convinced to open the gate. They talked to Bebe to open the gate on the Israeli side.

So Biden went to Mexico to tell Egypt's president to open the gate. I'm not kidding. Because this is the Head of Egypt. Not of Mexico. If you get the If you get the newsletter.

in the morning, if you're the subscriber that gets the prep that I send out in the morning. Thank me for not overloading you with memes because I just briefly considered making the whole thing memes about this. His geography, according to Joe Biden, is that Mexico is right there. Under Gaza and right by Israel.

So he went and asked Egypt's president to open up. Open it up down there in Mexico. He was talking. I can't. That's what he did.

So he. That was last night. You know, if you're. If you're trying to go out and make the case that you're not. And An elderly geezer who's losing his mind.

That wasn't the best way to do it. And then it made me wonder: are they doing it on purpose? Are they sending him out on purpose so that they can make the case to take him out? Because they would love to push Kevin Newsom in there. Are they trying to make the case to force him to step down?

It's like they let him go out there or made him go out there and then. They're doing this to force him to step down. I mean, I really don't know what else to say about it. I really, I don't know. I mean The Babylon Bee had a headline that says Biden calls for the president to step down.

I feel like we're moments away from that. This is crazy. This was such, I mean, so last night you had simultaneously the Putin interview drop, and then you had this.

Now, this is what makes me mad. Because we had all these people, and there are some people on the right who have this fascination with Vladimir Putin. They're desperately looking for some sort of macho icon. They're so desperate for testosterone, they're seeking out a macho icon. I tend to think that a guy who gets so much filler in his face that he looks like a pillow person isn't necessarily macho.

But that's me. I guess you know, we're looking at Gen Z and baby millennials here.

So There was this Tucker did this interview with Putin. And I did watch most of it. It g I got a little bored at the end. And by a little I mean a butt ton. Because Putin is this old KGB guy, and Tucker is Tucker.

Tucker has his style, and Putin clearly has his. Tucker's style is to. Pretend he wants to, he'll act like he's questioning you from a point of just genuine curiosity. He just doesn't know, and he makes what my kids call Tucker face. And I've told him this before.

I'm like, my kids say you've had Tucker face. And he's, he does, he comes from this position of curiosity. But you know, he's not curious. You know, he knows the answer. He's just, you know, he's coming at it from a position of curiosity.

So he sits down with Putin. And Putin is, I think, immediately at the start of the interview. there is an immediate contest of wills. Because Putin is going to answer the questions that he wants to answer, how he wants to answer them, and he needs to establish dominance in this interview. And if you think that these psychological games are not played during interviews, they are.

He wants to establish dominance during this interview. Whereas Tucker wants to hold the line and press him and keep asking questions and then give him Tucker face, which isn't to put guests at ease. It's sometimes to make them think, oh my gosh, what am I doing wrong?

So, you know, he's got, so Putin has this universal translator thing in his ear. And Tucker's asking in these questions. And he starts off asking him, you know, why are you doing all of this in Ukraine?

So Putin goes all the way back to like the 15th century. And starts in on this his his history lesson. And some of it's based in fact, some of it's greatly exaggerated, and then some of what he says later on was just not accurate at all. And then gets in and takes Tucker on this wild ride of history, right?

So I'm watching all these people on Twitter going, Wow, our president couldn't even identify the President of Egypt and confused him with the guy in Mexico And here's Vladimir Putin spending twenty minutes giving Tucker a history lesson on Ukraine without notes. I don't like these comparisons. I don't like this. I don't like an adversary, a geopolitical adversary, being made to look tougher than our president. And granted, even if I don't like the president, He he it's President Daddy Showers McSniffs kids.

I don't Like he's potatoes. I don't I don't want to make fun of him for being a decrepit desiccated old cheese brain I don't want to do any of that. I don't like someone that I feel like wants to compete with us. And punches up to feel like they're superior to us in any way. I get very vain about my country.

I don't, I didn't like seeing that all over social media. But for real, it was like 20 minutes into this thing, and I'm like, oh my gosh. And then he's like, Catherine the Great. And at one point, Tucker's like. He's like kind of, you know, smirking at that point.

And then he goes, well, how is any of this relevant? And Putin responds with a way that intimates that he thinks that Tucker's bored. And Tucker's like, no, no, no, I'm not bored. We're going to talk a little bit more about it because it was odd. And he was very, Putin was trying to not show his hand and not.

So former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan announced that he's running for U.S. Senate this year.

So there could be a strong candidate in the Republican effort to flip a seat in a deep blue state. He says he's running for U.S. Senate. He's running as a Republican. He kind of looks like a real-life character from Wallace and Grommet.

Larry Hogan, in case you didn't know what he looked like, if we case, you know, that's if that if that helps you, because it helps me. He looks, he just, I'm not doing that to be mean, he just kind of does. Uh, so they could they could flip that seat. There's one whole seat. Good job, Republicans.

That's if they don't get ahead of themselves and lose it. Pond stars, Rick Harrison rips politicians after the fentanyl crisis concerning his son's death. He says drug dealers should be charged with attempted murder. He slammed the fentanyl across the border, which is true. I mean, and that is true.

Like, drug dealers, I mean, if you're gonna like with fentanyl and stuff like that, why wouldn't that be added? Maybe that's a legal question for people in criminal justice, but still.

So, Al Franken is going to play a senator in a new Netflix series. He barely played 1K notes when he was elected as one. He's not funny. I've never thought Al Franken was funny. He's just.

I don't know what it is about him. You know how some people, everyone, other people think that they're funny and you think that they just are miserable? Like, I don't think Jim Carrey's funny. I think that he's pure 100% undiluted cringe. I don't think he's funny.

I don't think he's a good actor. I think he's just, he's either depressing or he's cringe. He's never like in between. Al Franken's one of those guys I just don't find funny either. Less than half of Americans say that they're very satisfied with their own lives because you're not cultivating a grateful heart, Americans.

Be grateful with what you have. Count your blessings. Name them one by one. Count your blessings. See what God has done.

See, tell yourself that. Honestly, it really is. People just aren't grateful for what they have and they constantly look at what everybody else has, and so they feel less satisfied with their own lives. Although, I will say, in this era of Biden inflation, $7 butter is not helping. I'm not kidding.

Check out the best highlights from every show in Dana's Absurd Truth podcast, posted daily from The Dana Show. With the backing of whom? With the backing of CIA, of course, the organization you wanted to join back in the day, as I understand. We should thank God they didn't let you in. Although it is a serious organization.

I understand. See, this was This was the little stuff that I was picking up on watching this interview. With that, Tucker, it was like a two-hour plus-long interview that he did. It was live to tape. I explained what that meant yesterday with Putin.

Welcome back. Dana Lash here with you, Bottom of this First Hour. That was a little caddy because it's a battle of the wills, and immediately when you sit down.

Somebody like Putin is going to try to establish dominance in a girl way. Here's. Let me explain something here.

So you have dude fighting and girl fighting.

Now I'm not talking about physical fighting. This is what a lot of guys don't understand. You may your wife Your mother Your sister, your female friend, may be in the middle of a Cold War. With another chick that y'all know and y'all are hanging out with, but you will never know. 'Cause girls do that stuff on the sly.

They are very, very, very good at that. Dudes won't even know. And they're good at it because they don't want guys to see. They don't want guys to think they're petty.

so that that doesn't rise to the surface. Guys just like blast each other and then they go have a beer after. Girls are not like that. Girls are More Machiavelli than Uh Machiavelli. When it comes to this stuff now the reason I bring this up is because I think that this is applicable to certain people.

In Intel? and in government. And there are dudes, the best fighters. The best people in in op an opo, in politics. Are the people who fight like chicks?

And I don't mean that as a pejorative or as a way to diminish. masculinity. describe the tactics. Underhanded, It doesn't rise to the top. and typically it's only only noticeable by a few people.

Sometimes it bubbles up a little bit. And they're very they're they can be very catty. They can do this thing. There's a word for it. That, what I can't even remember what it's called now, where you it looks like you're giving someone a compliment, but but it's not.

That's what Putin just did in this interview with Tucker. Because they were Tucker had asked him a question, well, what agencies do you think? run the US government. And he was asking him this, I think to get an insight of as to what Russians and Russia thinks, what they think, how the United States operates.

Now granted Putin's going to exploit this and use it for propaganda purposes. Yes, but also please just have a little bit of. You know, just I me just give a little be a little gracious. Tucker's not an idiot. I know that some people in some other commentators who aren't as successful think that he is, but he's not an idiot.

And I thought it was interesting because In the beginning, you know, he'd ask him a question. And Putin wouldn't answer it. He would stop because Tucker was like, you know, in the beginning, why is this relevant? Putin would say, well, get to that stuff. And then he would finish his answer.

This was a little caddy jab at Tucker.

Now, there were some people, again, these are the people who are like, wow, Putin looks so much stronger than our president. Wow, can you believe this? And that's what I don't like. I don't like these. I don't want to think that you're idolizing a guy who's.

Not entirely genuine about his Marxist sympathies. You're idolizing that.

Next to, I don't care if it's somebody you didn't like or didn't vote for, it's still the leader of the United States of America. I am very vain about my country, my shining beacon on the hill. I'm very vain about it. But I don't view what Putin did as a position of strength. And maybe that's just because I know.

Girls. Girl fight. I feel like Charlie Day.

Well, I am an expert in bird law.

Well, I am an expert in girl war. Maybe it's because I know this. He didn't have really anything to say there. He was just trying, he was trying to make Tucker feel uncomfortable. and plant the seed Yeah.

Doubt in Tucker's ability to stand up to him and therefore delegitimize any strength that Tucker would bring to that interview. That was a personality. That was a. That was a psych psychological. uh smear, is what that was.

And he did that. I'm like, you gotta be kidding me. And I figured because it I I think in the back in the day, like in the very early on, like Tucker considered going into CIA. I mean, why would you need to go to the CIA if you're going to the media, you know? But.

Idegrass. and ended up not. And um I figure that that Putin knew that. And I actually remarked when I started watching the interview: I'm like, how much do you want to bet that he's going to try to bring this up? the moment they start talking about Intel.

So I thought that was kind of interesting. That he did that. And he's like, oh, thank goodness they didn't take you.

Well, was that a compliment or was that a criticism? You know, thank goodness they didn't take you. Like, you're stupid enough to come here and interview me. That's what it sounded like. It sounded more of a criticism than a compliment, didn't it?

That's what you're dealing with. This guy's an old KGB guy. When you go and you, and to Tucker's credit, he could have stopped there and argued with him. He didn't take the bait, though. That wasn't a sign of weakness.

That was, no, no, no, he's going to stick on his point. And he'll needle him with another question later, which he did at the end because he was asking about that Evan Gerskiewicz, who was who's in jail in Russia. He spent 15 minutes pressing him on that, which I thought was interesting. Because that was I think that question and the way he put it directly, that was the first time that it was at the end of the interview. But Putin blinked.

I will say he did that. Because you could hear it in his earpiece, y some of that kind of went over, and there was someone else in Russian that was speaking over the translator that was giving him like different info. It was very interesting. Oh, I watched very closely. But I wanted to go back to the point when they were, when Rush, when he was giving this huge history lesson, and Tucker was sitting there very politely just letting him go.

And there were some people like, oh, Tucker's just getting railroaded. Putin's talking for 20 minutes. Tucker's just sitting there giving Tucker face. And then Putin gets into. And again, if you follow me on Substack, I put this up there, the screen grab of when he mentioned Catherine the Great, because Tucker made his Tucker's merc.

And then he goes, well, how is any of this relevant? And Putin couldn't actually answer that question. He kept deflecting and going to something else. He never actually did answer that question.

Now I still think this is a foreign land dispute and I don't care. You might get mad at me for it, but I don't care. I d I I s want my taxpayer dollars to stop it. I do also believe that it is the West that kept Ukraine in there a lot longer and kept them going a lot longer than than previous. But Tucker made a good point for all the people who thought he was going to be some apologist for Putin.

The question that he asked him was, Well, how is any of this relevant? He asked them that five times. How is this relevant? How is this relevant to this? Where's the relevancy here?

Putin couldn't answer it.

Now, why did he ask that question? Because you can sit here and talk about the ethnic makeup of the Donbass region. You can sit here and talk about the ethnic makeup of Crimea. You can talk about the Tartars. You can talk about the defeat and reclamation of the area of Crimea from the Ottoman Turks.

And I know the history of the area very well. Because I started getting in. I like World War II, and after Stalingrad, I started reading all about this. Um That's all irrelevant. Tucker was right.

Why is it irrelevant? What are the borders now? That's the point. Doesn't matter what all the ethnicity, the ethnic division, and doesn't matter what, you know, under, and I've said this before. They were makeshift borders that were created under the USSR so as to get more seats on the United Nations.

That's why they had all these little Soviet republics underneath the USSR. They wanted to have more of a presence on the United Nations at the United Nations. But that's irrelevant too. Because what are the borders now? That was Tucker's point.

Putin couldn't answer it.

And there are people out there who walked into this interview with a preconceived notion They were believing their own propaganda. That Tucker wasn't going to ask tough questions and that he wasn't going to be able to stand up and question Putin like this. And Putin never answered that question.

So You have to ask who's guilty of falling for propaganda here. I watched that interview very, very closely. I'm not a fan of Putin. Hate commies. Better dead than red.

I literally have it as a shirt. Thank you, Ramones. Better dead than red. But Tucker didn't fold during that interview, and then he ended awkwardly, too. He pressed him about.

The reporter that was in custody, and Putin was that was the first time he blinked because he was a little off. He was a little off.

Now there are some people I think that are still mad. Over the primary, and they're mad over different primary lines. And I think that's going to. Uh I think pre that's gonna precon they're conditioned to immediately not want to like anything on this. Uh but then you have people like this, like Um Like Michael Knowles.

The hell is this tweet? There are some people out here that I'm like, you need to, I can tell that some people are book smart, but not straight smart. He comes out and says something like this, quote, what's so shocking about the Putin interview is not his peerless brilliance. Putin's peerless brilliance. He's clearly an intelligent, impressive statesman.

We used to have statesmen too. What changed is not that the Russians started to study history, it's that we stopped. My gosh, why don't you get like a better grip on the hips when you kiss the butt? That's one of the dumbest things that I've ever read. Peerless brilliance?

Man, you are a sucker for propaganda. That's that's one of the that's so stupid. I mean, that's that's I'm retweeting it. Let's have a fight. I don't like this stuff.

It's like, why are you? Why would you say something like that? That's so stupid. Peerless brilliance. Why?

Because a guy who's been in government longer than I've been alive. Sits down in an interview, a KGB agent sits down in an interview, and I can sit here and regale with American History too for 20 minutes without using notes. Why is that such a big deal to people? Seriously? You would have to have notes to just talk for 20 minutes about your country's history?

That's dumb. That's your low bar of measure? I get it that some people are so thirsty for a leader in the United States and they desperately need like a shot of testosterone in the upper echelon of America repres American representation. That ain't the way to do it, kids. Not the way to do it.

I thought that the interview I didn't think that he came off as peerlessly, peerless, his peerless brilliance. He looked like a guy who was well rehearsed, but Tucker did throw him. Tucker didn't stop asking, and he's going to actually come on with us. He's traveling right now, but he's going to be coming on when he gets back stateside. But he.

I thought stayed right on the line of questioning. And he asked the questions that I think we all would have asked to kind of get a general.

Sort of more accurate surface area characterization. of what the Kremlin thinks. How Americans are perceived and how much is propaganda versus actual real thought, you know? And then he he was thrown at the end. It was if I thought it was in um A very insightful interview.

But I don't think that there's any peerless brilliance of Vladimir Putin. I mean, if you think that, my gosh. Remove lips from butt, then continue. Look, the gold IRA field can seem super confusing, and it's like it just can be overwhelming to find a precious metals company that you can trust.

So in Mr. Bojakowski's response, he admits that he possessed the medical specimen and he admits that he disposed of them.

Okay. I. 2022 until July of 2023 when I disposed of them. Yeah, so because... Um That physical anomaly has been a point of stress in my life since I can remember, and my middle name that I chose is D.

Because my whole life I've been called big Dumb D from the D and I thank God that these D's nuts were extracted. And they were put into a biohazard bag and for Some giggles. I put them in a mason jar. And I put them in the fridge. Nice to the eggs.

So let me ask you this. Was the conversation ever? What is up with the headwear for these? Could you please get your. This guy's wearing like that Mario Brothers Toad's hat.

I'm I'm I feel like I'm looking at Eddie Izzard and Toad from Super Mario Bros. with a beard. I'm really confused right now. This is what Kane shows for Days of These United States. It's a dude who had his giblets snipped.

And put, because you know, that's what normal dudes do. They get their giblets snipped and put in a mason jar pickled next to the eggs. People get them snipped. You know, for the bad thing, he got his giblets cut off and pickled and put in a jar by the eggs. I'm not kidding you.

That's literally what happened. And I'm I'm like, um And then an ex took them. And that was the X the guy with Toad's hat on? I think so. You guys know Toadstool from Super Mario Brothers.

That was Toad's hat. Like, what in the world? I don't understand. I'm confused.

So, what happened is that the. The guy who is cosplained as a woman and thinks that if he just wears a kerchief on his head and holds a dog, that, you know, voila, vagina, that. No testicle flat. Yeah, no, still, that doesn't mean. I mean, he's still a dude.

You can cut your beans off all you want to. It doesn't, you know, you're not going to give you, it doesn't. transform your bids into a, you know, a lady part. But anyway, so he had like literally his uh giblets pickled in a mason jar that his partner kept by the eggs in the fridge and then what he got mad 'cause the partner threw him out. What did you think was going to happen with them?

You can't reattach them, they're pickled in a jar. And and but that's not the question. Who does that? Like keeps them in a pickle who d cuts it off. And then who keeps them in a pickle jar?

Right by the Huevos. I'm trying real hard to be the shepherd cane. Oh my gosh. I just. Um It is something else.

But it is, he did look like Eddie Izzard, right? At least Eddie Izzard doesn't go around telling everybody what pronouns to use.

So, I don't have any problem with Eddie Izzard because Eddie Izzard just lives his life and he's not going to sit here and push up into your business and be like, you need to change your bathrooms. And he doesn't do that. But that guy with the toad hat That bothered me. I just hated the hat so bad, it just I think normally I know I'm not supposed to be mean in person because that's how I was raised to not be mean. But I really do think that if I pass that guy, like, say, you know, I was at Costco and I'm like, you know, with my cart and I watched that guy walk around with this toadstool hat, I think I legit would have to stop him and be like, oh, I just have to tell you, I hate your hat.

I hate it so bad. I wish I could set it on fire. But sadly, it's on your head and that would be a crime. But I hate your hat, and then I would just go off and do my business. Seems perfectly acceptable.

All right, folks, we got more on the way. Second hour coming up. More of the Dana show back after this. As we get moving, our partners Folks, over at Hillsdale College. This is a great educational institution and one you can be proud of if you're a grad there.

They actually teach that, you know, they teach and encourage critical thinking. They teach you how to think, not what to think. And there's a real crisis in American education, a national crisis. People have not been properly encouraged to critically think or even learn about American heritage. But Hillsdale College has been working really hard to change that.

So, in addition to all the other stuff that they've been doing and their free resources online, they're producing these 60-second radio spots. They're called Constitution Minutes, short, clear lessons on the principles of liberty. And you can reserve your free copy of your pocket constitution at dana4forhillsdale.com.

Now, Hillsdale is a small Christian classical liberal arts college in southern Michigan, founded in 1844 to pursue truth and defend liberty. That's been their hallmark ever since. And they educate everyone. They don't accept any federal funding, not even in the form of student grants. It's all about Merit and character at Hillsdale.

And in the end, what makes it such a useful political tool for people that want Donald Trump to be elected or want him not to be reelected is that the fact of his age is not something you can rebut. You can't be you can't tack to if someone says you're too far left you can tack to the center The man is 80 years old.

He rides a bike. But he is the age he is. And so it's a very useful political attack for that reason. He rides a bike. Have you seen him ride a bike?

He fell off the damn thing. Did you see him? He's good at riding. He's just horrible at stopping. And standing on the bike.

And, you know. And honestly, do you honestly believe that they just let him ride a bike? You know, there was only one other time that they saw him riding a bike after that, and that was like to prove to people that he can't, he doesn't fall off it often. You know, they had to worry about Reagan loading logs in the wood chipper. And they were like, Don't do that, sir, it's a wood chipper.

And he's like, I can do it better than you. And they're like, Yes, that's true, but just like help us, please. It's a wood chipper.

Now they're like, Biden, don't ride a bike. Welcome to the show. Dana Lash here with you. Top of the second hour. You can listen coast to coast.

You can stream the radio program as well. You can find us channel 347 DirecTV. You can also find us on YouTube, always good discussion, Facebook. Uh and uh Um yeah, just like uh in your area, in your trust or the area. This is what makes me mad, and I'm coming back to this because I'm still mad about it.

Democrats were so hell-bent. On Getting Power That They Keeping this, there's Biden. Juan's getting it up. He's getting it up, showing Biden falling on his backside off his bike. Jiminy Christmas.

It's just so bad. Yeah, he can ride a bike. He can chew food, guys. I mean, like, how low are you going to lower the bar? Guys, you can chew food.

I mean clearly Democrats were so insistent. Upon maintaining power. And keeping this, you know, cheese brain in here. That it's now caused Americans to question the strength of their not just their nation, but of their spirit. And I just got to tell you, I'm like shocked by some of the comments that I'm reading.

Uh case in point. Because I was talking about this.

Some of the some people on the right are fawning over, oh my gosh, Vladimir Putin could for 20 minutes he talked about Russian history and oh my gosh, it's so amazing. And I and I made the point, I don't know any American who couldn't go on. About the history of our country for 20 minutes without notes. Not sure why some on the right are freaking out because Putin can do the same with his country's history. Geez, set the bar, hire folks.

And I said, stop comparing other leaders to Biden and compare them to the average American, particularly on cognitive abilities. Do you see what's happening here? Of course, Putin would love to exploit the fact that he can. Talk and again, stop. I and I'll make this point on Twitter too.

I don't. view it as a sign of toughness. to put so much junk in your face that you look like a pillow person. Do people know what pillow people are? Was this just like an early 90s, late 80s thing?

I had one as a kid.

Alright, hold up, hold up. Maybe here, let me. Cane, Google pillow person for Juan.

So, Juan can show the people in the simulcast, because I say it so often whenever I talk about Vladimir Putin, I'm actually referencing like a specific thing. He's like, he's not in Jocelyn Wildenstein territory yet, but. You know, Putin could get up there if he just does a couple more You know, syringes, I think. I think it could probably be up there. I don't necessarily think that's a sign of toughness.

But People are viewing themselves. As They're they're Projecting the president's weaknesses in a way they're sort of adopting it when they are comparing what we have to what Russia has. And they're like, oh, look, Russia's leader can do this, and our leader can't do it.

Okay, why don't you now go look at their freedoms over in Russia and go, look, I'm not saying that Biden's responsible for any of that, but why are you celebrating this guy? Democrats. Put a Putin light in the White House. I'm not going to defend him. But I'm not also going to make my country look like a second fiddle.

I'm very vain about my country. Juan's getting you the pilla person because some of you have asked me about this. Like, what are you talking about? I'm talking about the p if you're watching the signal cast. Can't you remember the Peace.

Yeah I do actually. I think you were a little, you know, I remember the commercials for them. Yeah. I remember laughing at them. I had one of these.

I think I had, mine was similar to the little girl one with the big blue eyes, but I had a pillow person. It's literally a pillow person. It's a giant face on a pillow, and it has arms and legs on it. I can't believe what they're selling for, like on eBay and stuff now. No, you're not.

Are you serious? How much are they selling on eBay? This one here is $100. Dude, I need to go. My mom, in a very.

$75 for that one. That's nuts. My mom saved all my toys, and she keeps them in a giant box under the stairs in the basement. Real creepy. Wait, you still have a pillow person, possibly?

I'm positive. I probably have. She kept everything. It's so weird. Yeah, I'm positive.

I'm positive that it's in there. Uh And I I'm just like I still have a Cabbage Patch Kids stroller. I have a stroller like a stroller? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like a green little buggy thing.

It's plastic, and you just throw your cabbage patch kit in it. She's got that. Oh, man, she kept everything. I was hard on my toys, though, so I don't know if there was. You know.

Like my toys went in the creek with me. You know what I'm saying? Like, I would go and catch frogs and I'd bring my cabbage patch kid with me.

So I don't know if they're in the best condition. But she kept all that stuff. It's weird. Like, she could, she's like one of those moms that kept everything, like, even all my baby teeth. One time I went to borrow a belt from her and I looked in this box and there were like bags of teeth.

I'm like, oh my gosh, like, what is she doing? She's a murderer. It's like, what are all these? She's like, those are your baby teeth. Like, who keeps all this stuff?

So, you're telling me the tooth fairy doesn't exist? The one that you put in Slack cane is literally the exact one I had. That is good. That is the exact one I had. Let's see, that one's going for $175.

I had that exact, that exact box. It's like $20? I don't know. I didn't buy it. I was a child.

I didn't buy it. It was gif it was like a Christmas present or something. Yeah. That was the exact one I had. The exact one.

You know what? It's probably safer than a lot of the ones that are made today, if I'm being honest. You know, I mean, that thing was rock solid. I think I sat in that thing and would roll cousins down a hill. I'm pretty sure.

One show in my Cabbage Patch Kids stroller. I'm almost positive That when we were little bitty, like, we would take turns throwing each other down a hill in this thing. Pretty sure we did that at my grandma's house. And grandma and grandpa didn't know because I do remember I broke a wheel off at one time and grandpa had to fix it. I'm positive that happened.

How did we get to talking about my Cabbage Patch Kids stroller from Putin? Oh, pillow people. That's right. It's a little difficult for me to think that he's like a tough guy because, you know, he's very vain and he injects a bunch of stuff in his face.

So, and I'm not saying that to be a negative. I know that there's ladies out there. I'm not passing judgment. I'm just saying he's a dude, and I totally will pass judgment on you if you were a dude. I just think those are some things dude shouldn't do.

Overly grooming your eyebrows is one of them. Like making sure they're uniform and they don't look like they're going to grow out a tentacle and strangle you. That's one thing. But groomi overly grooming them to the point where it's non-settling, that's something else entirely. But that being said, I I don't like this fixation with, oh gosh, he's like so tough.

And he was able to, look, he was able to regale Tucker with this history of Russia. Any American I know could do that.

Now, this is what's scaring me. A lot of people are in my comments going, Are you sure about that? I know a lot of people who couldn't. I'm pretty sure that most of the population in America couldn't do it. Oh my gosh, really?

Granted, there's a lot of stupid people out there. But the reason that you don't hear from the smart people is because they're doing what you're doing right now. You're either doing work at home, raising your kids, or you're doing work outside of the home, also helping to raise your kids by earning money.

So, see? Wha you're busy. That's why you're not on Twitter arguing with everybody. That's why you're not in the street so you can get hit with the man on the streets interviews. That's why.

I mean, I d I just think that's 'cause y'all are quiet.

Now you can compare him to Biden and Bi but anybody my Tennis shoe right now, my sneaker, I could compare to Biden. My sneaker's way brighter. I might you know, I there's so many things I could compare to Biden. Um That it makes him that everything looks better next to Biden. But I I don't want to lift up a guy who is I mean, he's a former KGB.

So on all four being friend enemies. But I'm not for fawning over the guy or acting like he's You know, that this is unusual to know someone's history or to know your own country's history. Does that make sense? It's like a giant psyop, and Democrats walked right into it. They're playing right into it.

I don't know. I'm very vain about my country, like I said.

Someone's like, I think you're overestimating the schools. I know that. I know that someone's like, 20 minutes. Would you like that on colonial era, revolution, western expansion? The whole nine yards.

Where do you want to start? I mean, am I going to apologize for being a devout American and being educated on my country's history, like so many of you all out there are? I mean, good grief. I just the I I I think people need to stop kissing his ass because you're upset over our president. Yes, no one likes Biden, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna sit here and start a fan club for Putin.

But that's what this is what Democrats have created by their insistence on retaining power by having this cheese brain in the White House. Ah So I I don't know. And then we got what's her face here. Throw this up to me 'cause we've got uh before that Here we have Kamala Harris. I don't know what she's Her point of her speech is here.

Were she Went off about for 50 seconds about the Second Amendment. Can we play this? Because we have Biden. And then we have her. I have no idea what she she looks like she's in front of a green screen, if I'm being honest.

And it looks like she's the backdrop is like Sesame Street and she's got two flags, like a Sesame Street green screen with two flags by it. But this is Kamala Harris in, I don't know, does she maybe she doesn't mention Venn diagram for once. Listen. I'm pointing to the direction of what I believe is the capital. And what needs to happen in terms of people who otherwise have evidenced themselves having a feckless quality.

to show some courage. To reject the false notion that suggests you're either in favor of the Second Amendment or you want to take everyone's guns away. When in fact it's just reasonable. I support the Second Amendment, but it's reasonable to say we need an assault weapons ban. Thank you.

It's reasonable to say we need universal background checks. Background checks. Why are you talking about laws? It's reasonable to say that if you want to deal with violence in the community, you also got to understand it's not only about mass. Shooting.

situations which are horrific. And it's about everyday gun violence. What is she talking about? It's a bunch of word salad where she. Is like trying to Have an accent and she sounds drunk.

Violence. She doesn't talk like that. I actually what I have more. No. Because now what people perhaps had never seen before can be seen to know what's possible.

But the brilliance of this inaugural class And its leaders is the ability to see what can be. Unburdened by what has happened. Shut up. She did not say that. Enough to make it real.

Is that from this newest remark? Yes. That is literally 20 minutes ago. Twenty-five minutes ago. Are we being trolled?

Excuse me. She's she's drunk. She sounds completely poo-faced. She got in a Nancy Pelosi's cabinet. Bruerance Violence.

Like, what is up what what's up with that? Like, you're from California. Why are you like adopting this twang? Good night. Fe so it's like feckless if you don't support abridgments on the Second Amendment?

I hate that word. That word is so overplayed. And our partners for this portion of our program, it's our friends over at Keltech, the sub-2K Gen 3, awesome firearm. You got to check it out if you haven't. Keltech makes a lot of really cool stuff, and they have a lot of really innovative things coming out this year and later this year as well.

This is the Gen 3, 9 millimeter Keltech sub-2K carbine, and it folds in half the whole thing. Optics and all. That's the upgrade on the Gen 2. It's a simple twist and fold motion of that patent pending, rotating 4 in either direction, folds it right in half, and just as quickly and easily deploys it. Optics and all.

Now, there's still, as I said, they made a lot of upgrades to this. You have the upgraded aluminum trigger, redesign mechanics. You got a light and five-pound trigger pull. You also have a redesigned operating handle, lightened action, new chamber indicator. There's a lot of really cool stuff that they upgraded on this.

And this is the Gen 3 version of the 9mm carbine. That's the Sub 2K. It's awesome, lightweight, accurate, easy to handle. This is one you got to have in your collection. Made in America by family-owned Keltech.

To learn more about the Sub 2K Gen 3, visit Keltechweapons.com. That's K-E-L-T-E-C-Weapons.com. Tell them Dana sent you. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

So apparently There's Fat Thursday. Fat Thursday is the Thursday before Ash Wednesday in February. That would have been yesterday.

So that was yesterday. I never knew it existed. I knew Fat Tuesday, but Fat Thursday? It's uh known as I can't even say this, but it looks funny. Tlusti Swartek in Poland.

That sounds right. Yeah, that sounds totally right. And they eat a doughnut filled with rosehip jam and dusted with powdered sugar. That sounds lovely.

So, I never knew that there was like a Fat Thursday. Tons of rain forced gallons of raw sewage to spill from LA County sewers. What are all of the politicians doing in the sewer? Oh, wait, it's sewage. Did you think I was gonna have to be serious about this headline?

No. They're trying to deal with mud because it's the Pineapple Express, the atmospheric river, and the LA Basin is trying to cope. And they can't.

So they had a huge spill. It was Rancho Dominguez. The 8 million gallons overflowed manholes streamed into storm drains. It was pretty bad. Let's see.

This. Truck accident. Let me pull this up. This is WGAL, Channel 8. A truck rolled over a highway in Franklin County, splitting the truck open.

And it was apparently there were a number of tractor trailers involved. One of them. was carrying VIX. It was a truck full of the VIX Vapor Rub and some of the humidifiers. I bet everybody could breathe easier.

No, I'm just, that was a horrible joke. Being what I mean. Let's see here. This, there was a tiny dog that. Made a mess.

Had a little accident on a flight. This is New York Post. It was because some people can bring their dogs into the cabin. But the dog was let out of its crate, which is something that's not supposed to happen. And apparently the dog made a mess, and everybody in the cabin had to deal with it.

They said it was horrible, and that the lady, the dog's owner, wouldn't clean it up. Uh yeah, and they said that the flight attendants had to deal with it. It was on the edge of a seat. And another lady refused to move or take, she refused to move her dog or take responsibility for it. See, that's just being a bad pet owner.

Like, that's, I think that's abusive to your dog and abusive to everyone else. Just like be a decent human if you're gonna do this.

So, apparently, there's now an AI toddler. This is just not gonna end well. It's called Tong Tong. Yeah, it's an AI model, or it means little girl in English. It was created by the Beijing, of course it's China, Beijing Institute for General Artificial Intelligence.

That's what they want everyone to be, just like a robotic little toddler. That's what it is. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, next. Elevate your commute, workouts, or downtime with the Dana Show podcast. Unleash the power of knowledge at your fingertips by following Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you, bottom of the second hour. You can listen coast to coast on a terrestrial station in your area. You can stream it, channel 347 Direct TV, YouTube, and Facebook as well. One of the things that we were kind of scratching our heads over yesterday was the Biden administration coming out and said, Oh, Guys, now we actually can do something on the border.

We're not going to say what, but we're going to consider doing something, maybe weighing some sort of executive action to deter illegal immigration. And a lot of people, including my next guest, have been saying, well, you could have done this the entire time. This is something that you could have done this whole period. Because Texas has been really kind of leading the fight. I mean, not really, but has been leading the fight in this.

And of course, right at the forefront of that, Attorney General Ken Paxon, who joins us now via Skype. General, good to see you.

So glad that you have been such a leading warrior in this fight to basically secure our southern border. I just kind of wanted to get your reaction to the administration now coming out and saying, you know, we can use an executive order, I guess, to deter what's happening at the border. Where was this like these years ago?

Well, they did exactly what they wanted from day one because on day one they said they were not going to deport anybody. Of course, our lawsuit started three days later against them.

So, this is about the next election coming up. They've done what they wanted to do. They've allowed, not just allowed, They have made the situation so that the cartels could get as many people here as fast as possible. This isn't just them allowing. They were participating.

Because remember, the way Border Patrol is supposed to work, they're supposed to hide from us. They don't hide from us anymore. They come to us. We raise our hand. We're over here.

We want to find you. Where are you? Get us to where we're supposed to go. It's all a deal, right? It's not writing.

anywhere written down, but certainly the way it's supposed to operate now we've got an election where Biden's In a lot of trouble on the immigration issue. And so he's six, seven months out. He's thinking, well, let's just say now that we're forward cutting off illegal immigration. I think that's exactly what's going on. Yeah, that's exactly.

And it seems like it. It also seems like the steps that he took, you know, just his first day, I think it was four or five executive orders that he had that specifically looked at everything from the Flores Agreement to the Remain in Mexico, those migrant protection protocols, all of those that he just suspended with his pen. That was what he did on day one. And I never understood the argument that, well, he did that with executive order.

So why can't he undo it with executive order?

Well, and yeah, there's statutory provisions in place. And Trump, all he did was take advantage of what the laws were at the time, whether it was remain in Mexico, Title 42, whether it was built on the wall, that was appropriated. uh whether it was stopping, catch and release. All these things were in place when Biden walked into office and he's dismantled all of them illegally. and encourage the cartels to you know make as much money as you can as fast as you can while we have the chance.

And that's exactly what happened.

So we are, I mean, really, it's not. It's not an exaggeration to say that this is, I mean, it's kind of like a Mexican standoff. We have that at the border right now with the federal government. And where does this go from here? I know that you've been litigating this, but this period, this purgatory period that we find ourselves stuck in before the courts decide to do something, I mean, it's just getting worse and worse.

It's not sustainable.

So, what do we do? Yeah, so I I mean obviously the elections coming up. We've got to change our leader or this is going to continue because The courts take a long time. We're in probably, I mean, we've got at least four major lawsuits right now related to the border. And Those are going to continue.

And I feel like we should be successful, but we can never quite count on the Supreme Court to necessarily go our way.

Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. We lost the injunction. Which by the way, doesn't mean we're gonna not put the fences up and the wire up. We're just, apparently they can just cut them down when they want to. But we'll just put them right back up.

So it doesn't deter us. It's just ridiculous that the Supreme Court, on a very close decision, let them do that. But we have other lawsuits, and I think one of the most important. Texas passed legislation finally. I'd asked for it for decades, or not decades, but for years.

And they passed it, which allows us to deport people. And we got sued by the Biden administration and the ACLU, which you know, kind of expect they'd be together, to stop. Deporting people from Texas because even though he's running and saying that he wants to, you know, maybe should do something about illegal immigration. Actual practicality, we're still fighting them. Yeah.

And talking with Texas AG Ken Paxton, you know, you mentioned these lawsuits filing suit against the federal government for this. But, you know, if this border bill would have passed, that would have stripped you of this ability to do it and moved everything centrally. Will you tell people exactly how that would have tied your hands?

So, what a disaster it would have been. I cannot believe it was being sponsored by a Republican. It would have basically. Give him Joe s Joe Biden. Opportunity to say, see, all this stuff I've done, the Republicans approved it, including granting asylum.

Ability to major so he could just make his own decisions. Obviously, just importing people that. Beyond the law, what the law currently allows. But the main thing for us beyond that was that now we couldn't sue them in Texas. We couldn't sue them, and other states couldn't sue them in their states.

We'd all have to go sue in the DC circuit, which is not the most favorable environment for us. And the Senate knows that. You're so nice and polite in how you describe it. I mean, they're leftier than the Ninth Circuit, I think. Yes, it is liberal.

And so, why would the Senate, Republican Senate, want to stop Texas? From why would John Cornyn and James Langford and Mitch McConnell want to stop Texas? From protecting our border through legal action based on the law. I don't, it doesn't make any sense to me. I mean, that's without you and a few other attorneys general leading this fight, and I think, I mean, you were right out of the gate with it, there would be no check and balance on this administration.

There would be no way to sue in your local federal court to fight this. And I think it would have been a lot worse. Oh yeah, and which is just hard for me to fathom. Why the Republicans wanted this? This would hurt our ability to do things in Texas, but it would really hurt the whole immigration battle.

We'd be basically saying, okay, we give up. Let's just let Joe Biden do what he wants to do and import all these people and do all these things that now are illegal. Let's just say, okay, since he's doing it for seven years, let's right before the election bail him out, and then we'll take responsibility and put it on, I guess, Trump. Who then would be in a position of defending what? I don't know what he'd say about the Republicans.

He'd have to admit that they. Mess this up. Yeah, that's a very good point. Talking with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Another point, and then I want to talk about what Governor Abbott has said, too, about building the wall and all of the, because they're very angry that he just keeps you and he keeps just forging ahead, which that you should on behalf of Texans.

But the encounters, because it was on page 212 of the, I read the bill, 370 pages. It was on page 212. I marked my whole thing up, but it talked about these encounters. And I loved the semantics of the left. They were trying to say, well, they're not talking about people that they're going to let in.

They're just talking about encounters. But from what I understand, those encounters directly translated to, we're just going to let people in. We'll give you a date with an immigration judge and then you can come back a few years later. Is that a correct way to put it? Even worse than that, it would have given Majorca the ability to just let him in, and then he, instead of a judge, would decide who he wanted to grant asylum to.

So we just have a little czar. who would just grant whoever he wanted to come to the country and now It's just a one-man show. And so it's actually even worse than that. It's hard to believe. Yeah, and incredibly hard to believe.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott was talking about the border wall. They're now arresting 30, I think the number is 39,000 illegal immigrants for crimes committed on U.S.

soil and has seized 400. This really gets me, 458 million lethal doses of fentanyl. This has been in Texas since 2020. 21. And then, when Texas began deploring General these force multipliers, you know, the razor wire and the float things in the middle of the Rio that are temporary and can be moved, that's when the crossings began to sort of move elsewhere where they did not have these mitigating or these force multiplier things.

Talk to me a little bit about that because the enforcements worked. Oh, it's absolutely. People build walls all the time. They build fences. Why?

They do it all over the world. People build fences around the yard. Why? Keep people out. It actually works, it's been working for thousands of years.

And everybody knows it worked. And that's why the Biden administration. Took the appropriated money and wasted it. And they paid contractors to do nothing. All the materials rotted.

It was a billions of dollars of lost revenue that just was wasted, and he violated his constitutional role. of using appropriated funds the way he's directed. He's not the guy that gets to just He's not a king and he's supposed to like follow the law. He did not do that.

So these things work. And that's why I think Donald Trump wanted to build that wall. Yeah, last question for you, General. Let's just say that everything, every worst possible outcome could happen. Let's just say that the lawsuits, which I tend to agree with you, just on the merit, I don't see how anything is decided against this, but let's just say worst outcome on everything.

How far is Texas willing to go to secure the southern border, knowing that most Texans would back whatever y'all would probably do? How far are you willing to go?

So, for me, I mean, they don't give me a bunch of soldiers. My job is to go to court and fight them every day I can.

So, I'm willing to fight them on every possible thing. And if the governor Wants to defend that border and continue to defend that border, I will defend him.

So I've got his back. As far as he wants to go in defending that border and protecting our citizens, because the reality is right now. Our citizens are subject to lots of crime, including, as you know, the fentanyl crisis, which is killing our children. And I know too many kids that are dead because of it. And I mean, this is the most heartbreaking thing that I deal with.

And on top of that, we have the potential terrorism threat. We know it's coming because they're letting all these people in.

So I feel like we have a right. And I don't think Texas would have come into the Union or any other state. They didn't think they could defend their border when the U.S. government wasn't going to do it. There you go, right there.

I think a lot of Texans would have y'all's back as well. Attorney General Ken Paxton, appreciate your time. Thank you so much, sir. Good to see you. We'll talk again soon.

All right, thank you. Have a great day. We have more to come, folks, as we wrap up this second hour of programming. Of course, we got Florida Man on the way, and we're going to dive into some of the developments that are forthcoming with this because this particular border bill may be dead, but don't count Democrats out for long on the issue of amnesty. It's his life mission to make bad decisions.

It's time for Florida Man. Hmm.

Okay, so a Florida man has racked up over $31,000 in charges. on his company card. Purchasing scratch-off tickets, like of all the things that you're going to. Do you're gonna I mean, I'm not you shouldn't steal your company card in the first place, but I'm just going to say if you're going to take your company card and then you're going to go for scratch-off tickets, that's and $31,000 of them. But that's what Warren Johnson did.

Clearwater, Florida man, he was arrested $31,000 worth of scratch-off lottery tickets on the company credit card. You know, he's going to get caught. Pinellas County Sheriff's Office shows that he was charged with conducting a scheme to defraud between $20,000 and $50,000. And they said that he's a truck driver. And an affidavit found that the owner of the company discovered that one of their credit cards had a lot of money on it worth fraudulent charges going all the way back to September.

So apparently he was doing this for. um half a year before he was caught. That's a lot. And I think maybe they need to run better books, too. I'm just going to say.

Alright, so at this Florida man, if you're gonna steal a plane, you better know how to fly it. LA Times says a Florida man. Stole a plane in California, crash-landed it on a nearby beach, and just walked off.

Well, he crash-landed it, but it didn't like break up the plane. It just while Juan's got the photo, literally, the nose was right in the sand. He stole a plane in Palo Alto and then put it down on a beach in Half Moon Bay. And the 50-year-old Miami native, Luis Arez, is accused of committing grand theft arrow at about 5 p.m. He took to the sky's touchdown 25 miles away.

Uh and apparently Well, one of the officers says, I've been doing this for a long time and this is a first. to have someone who I mean I don't know. Did he think he was playing Grand Theft Auto like in person or like with a plane like in person? I don't know. Uh let's see this A man's pet kangaroo, which I didn't even know you could actually keep his, actually, you can, that's kind of the thing.

A pet kangaroo was trapped in a pool area of a Florida apartment complex.

So, CBS Channel 12 in Tampa says that a kangaroo got into trouble in Tampa. It made its way to an apartment complex pool. Hillsborough County Sheriff's authorities were called. regarding a kangaroo on the loose. And they released audio and some video as well.

They put it up on his Facebook page. And the n the dispatcher goes, 911, do you need police fire or medical? And 911 goes, I guess police? There's a kangaroo in my apartment.

So they said that they got the HSCO or HCSO, sorry, agricultural unit. They reunited the kangaroo with its owner.

So he did have proper. registration papers and could prove ownership. If he didn't though, I guess that would have been You know, he would have he would have been in trouble. But I mean I didn't even know you could that's part that kangaroo was like bored like I feel bad for it Yeah, he's is it a little is it a baby though? Not a small one.

A Joey? He's just chilling. He's hopping around. He looks fun. I want to pet him, carry him around.

Like we could be friends. He looks a little bigger than a Joey. Whenever I see animals, I'm like, I get the Snow White complex. Like, I can go talk to them, and like, butterflies and hummingbirds will land on my hands and stuff like that. You know, I just get this like major Snow White complex.

In fact, whenever anybody's animals like me, I feel like Snow White. And then I hear a choir go, aww, and then the sun's rays come out, and then all the animals come and talk to me. That's what it feels like. You guys know exactly what I'm talking about. Let's see.

This is two brothers. We were arrested. Two Florida dudes were arrested. They robbed a seven-year-old child on a Broward County transit bus. It occurred actually at the very end of last month.

It was a city bus. and the two brothers, Danelle Ossier and Darnellinson OCR allegedly stole a cell phone from the child, a seven-year-old, while on the bus. And then they ran away on foot. Officers pursued on foot. They quickly located them.

And while detained, they conducted a live lineup. The victim and witness positively identified them. And so the officers noted that the brothers they didn't use weapons, they used physical force to take the child phone, and they were arrested and transported to Broward County, Maine Jail. A seven-year-old with a phone. But you don't steal it.

Just because, you know, maybe you don't approve of it or you want it for yourself, don't steal. Like, go out and get a jobby job and. you know, kinda Kind of do it yourself there. That's I don't know. Uh, let's see here.

I'm not reading this one. Uh this one God This is like a security one. No, I don't wanna read that one. That's boring and it gets too too technical. Oh, here's the one I want.

See you guys know combos? I love the combo snacks. Right. A Florida man is suing the combos people. The people who make the Um the snacks because they were saying that they didn't have enough cheese in them.

What?

Okay, so Yeah, a Florida man sued combos because they said saying that they, I don't, I mean, I don't know how much money you're going to get. It's a class action suit. A Florida man's demanded a trial. He says that. The they don't have enough cheese, and apparently he's he says the filling was made with real cheese and and it says natural flavors.

Real cheese doesn't have natural flavors because cheese naturally is flavored like cheese. And so they're literally like going to court over it, a class action suit. Good grief. All right, stay with us. Third hour on the way.

Do you think Zelensky has the freedom to negotiate a settlement? to this conflict. I don't know the details. Of course, it's difficult for me to judge. But I believe he has, in any case, he used to have.

His father fought against the fascists, Nazis, during World War Two. I once talked to him about this. I said Volodya, what are you doing? Why are you supporting neo-Nazis in Ukraine today, while your father fought against fascism? he was a front line soldier.

I will not tell you. We answered this as a separate topic and I think it's incorrect for me to do so.

So this was part of this uh This weird interview. That Tucker Carlson did with Vladimir Putin yesterday. And we're going to talk a little more about this. Also, getting the Biden. Doc thing.

I think that was very interesting. The timing was very interesting to me when all this came out. Incredibly interesting. Welcome back to the program top of this third hour. Dana Lash with you.

You can listen coast to coast. You can stream the program. If you're not listening terrestrially, you can also watch the simulcast, the video portion of the program on channel 347 DirecTV, YouTube, Facebook, as well. That whole denazification thing, that's like a big time talking point. That he brought out.

And I just think, you know, you're it's a totalitarian state. It's just the irony of saying that is just interesting to me. But There are people who are panning it and they were saying that Tucker should have challenged every single thing that he said. And I don't know if that was the purpose of the interview, but I feel like people are moving the goalposts and their criticisms and that they thought he was going to be, I guess what. an apologist and he wasn't.

I mean, he kept asking the question that Putin couldn't answer.

So all the people in their rage. at this interview even happening in the first place. Putin didn't answer.

Well, why is any of this relevant? The history of Ukraine. All of these people were like, oh, well, you know, Tucker sat there and let Putin go for 20 minutes lecturing about the history of Ukraine, and he just got rolled. But did you not hear what Tucker asked, like, repeatedly after? He just let him go amused and sat there and looked at him.

Then he goes, How is any of this relevant? How is this relevant to like, meaning, how is it relevant to their current borders today? I feel like a lot of people are still projecting their bias onto this while also simultaneously and ironically bitching about. propaganda. I gotta call it because that's the way it looks.

That's what it looks like to me. But there were a lot of things that Putin said in the interview that were just completely not even factually accurate in any way at all, whatsoever. And I mean, there was a lot there. Like, one of the biggest things, and this is what. I hear a lot of neocons try to say, they're like, oh, they say Russia is going to attack NATO and are going to get us into World War III and going to push and attack NATO countries.

And I'm like, well, they couldn't even roll Ukraine.

So how do you think that they're going to step up to NATO? That's so dumb. And then he's saying, oh, well, NATO just keeps pushing eastward. They want to attack us. NATO doesn't want to attack Russia either.

Now, there was just enough. There was just enough of a truth in what he said to beg the question.

Now, when I say beg the question, I don't mean pose a question. That is not what that means. Begging the question is a term for a logical fallacy in which you assume that the premise is true, thus, the conclusion is true.

So, there's enough there where you could just make this argument without actually having to prove the premise to be true. Does that make sense? So, there's enough there to beg the question because he keeps going, oh, well, you know, they keep pushing eastward. And, you know, Finland was admitted into NATO in April 2023, and Finland does extend eastward even beyond the Baltic states of Latvia and Estonia. They extend a little bit eastward, a little bit more eastward than former Soviet republics of the former Soviet states of Estonia and Latvia.

But that doesn't mean that NATO is going to pick a fight with Russia. This is so stupid. Stop!

So, like I said, there's just enough in what he said. And that's the whole, that's the gambit, right? You have just enough truth. To where you can then make this grandiose argument. Oh, well, see, because they keep pushing eastward, they want to have a war with Russia.

It's the West. No. That's not true. Nor is it, I don't think anybody, I don't think they, either of them want a hot conflict with the other. I don't believe that.

And so there were a lot of things. Like when he was saying that, he basically blamed Poland for. Kicking for like making the Nazis mad. He blamed Poland for that. I'm a huge World War II history buff.

That is not even remotely accurate. I mean, there were some of the things that he was saying, and I'm like, no one believes this because we have books. Like that's not accurate at all. Dude. You can be KGB and you could be.

I knew his body language. I could tell that he was trying to do all this posturing. And he does this thing. And this is a trick that a lot of people do. And I've seen people do this before.

In fact, I've done this in interviews before with reporters. I've done this actually in a couple of interviews. When you sit down, I have an Apple Watch. It's a lot easier when you don't have an Apple Watch. A lot of times, what I'll do is I'll use my phone.

And I'll put my phone time up, my clock on my phone. And what you do is when you're getting ready to sit down with someone, you either take your watch off and you put it down where you can see it so you don't have to turn your wrist over, or you take it and you just have your clock up and you set it down right where the reporter can see it and right where you can see it. That is an immediate move where you are asserting control over the time period that you are with this person.

So you are immediately, it might seem like something stupid, but death by a thousand paper cuts, a lot of these little gestures add up to plant the seed in the mind of the person to whom you're speaking that you are the one in charge and that you are controlling this.

So when I've sat down with people, it's like it's a boardroom move. When you sit down with people, and especially when I sit down with reporters, I always immediately take an aggressive, antagonistic approach with them, no matter who they are. And I will put my watch out or I'll put, usually it's my phone, like I said, because then they sometimes wonder if I'm recording them. And I put it out and that way they can see that you're on my time schedule. and I'm in control.

That was one of the first things he did when he sat down. I don't know if you saw that in the video, but he took his watch off. and he put it on the table. He f he took his watch off and he like messed with it and he set it on the table. That was, he was trying to do a power move.

Now, whether or not Tucker realized that, Tucker didn't change his posturing or his. The way that he moved or spoke with people. uh or spoke with Putin. He didn't change any of his stuff. I mean, everybody's got tells, and people have different tells.

When I was in college, I actually had to take, I thought this was interesting for a journalism degree. Isn't this interesting? I had to take classes on persuasion. I did.

Okay. One of the reasons I can recognize this stuff is because I had a couple semesters in body language, actually, in persuasion. And there's like little power moves, gestures that you do. Like when someone is sitting in front of you and they fold their hands and their hands are interlocked and their thumbs form a peak or their fingers form a peak, it's supposed to be like a subconscious power move that someone has. They feel like they are in the advantageous spot.

And so that's usually the gestures that they make. I always made fun of Bill Clinton's non-accusatory knuckle point.

So, if you make a fist with your hand, just make a fist, but make a bad fist and stick your thumb out. Don't hide your thumb, stick your thumb out. And then slightly extend the knuckle of your index finger out just a little bit. That is the non-accusatory knuckle point. That is what Clinton and a lot of these politicians do when they're trying to make a point.

And they're defending themselves, but they also don't want to seem too aggressive and accusatory so as to flip the sympathy and the audience to whom they're speaking to be aggressive towards them.

So There's all these little things and he had a bunch of these little he had a bunch of these like little gestures and stuff that he did the way that he would point right from the get-go when he was talking to Tucker He noted he's like well I believe you have a basic your your educ your education the base your education is in history I think is how he said it so he immediately within the first uh 120 seconds of the interview He immediately starts in. He does his gesture where he puts the watch on the table, and then he immediately lets Tucker Carlson know that he's made an assessment of him and he's already read up on his education. It's like. A threatening, non-threatening thing to do. Oh, yes, I know all about your background.

I know that you actually got a degree in history. I mean, that's basically what he said as a way to say there's nothing you're gonna do that's gonna surprise me, so let me take you on a journey. But the fact that he was filibustering and going into the history of something. It went on, it went, in my opinion, I thought it went a little too, it seemed a little too much for him even. There is a time where there's a point at which it becomes too much and it does look like you're dancing and it does look like you're deflecting.

And that's what his whole soliloquy on the history of Ukraine and Russia, some of which was invented, that's kind of what it went to. And so there was just all this stuff, but people, I think, who were getting mad at Tucker Carlson for not challenging him, which he did challenge him on a number of things. But the biggest was that he kept asking him, how is any of this history relevant? Because if this country's borders are what they say now, what does that have to do with all the stuff that happened in 862?

Sorry. What does it have to do then? What does it have to do with the 15th century? What does it have to do with Catherine the Great? What does it have to do with any of this stuff?

If their borders are what they say now, what gives you the right? You know, that was his whole point.

So I think some of these people need to just calm down. And be a little bit more observant, really, because I don't think I just a lot of it, like I said, was just entirely, you know, like when he was saying that the CIA bombed Nordstream. Here's the problem. In the United States, you have Most of the people in the general public who have watched everything that has happened these past six to eight years. And are just bowled over by the audacity of people in different agencies in their government.

I think in 2016 you had Democrats. the DNC and the Hillary Clinton campaign. that hired Fusion GPS, which is an entity that is acting as a foreign agent but is not registered as a foreign agent. That is what Paul Manafort went to jail for. There are people that go to jail for that.

It's called the Foreign Agents Registration Act, FARA, F-A-R-A. Fusion GPS is not a FARA registered entity. And one of the people that worked with them, Natalia, what's her name? Avella Skia, or whatever, she was the one who tried to entrap Junior. at the Trump thing and they made up that whole story.

They were the ones who worked with Chris Steele, that disgraced British spy. They had him work with the Kremlin, and there are receipts that show all of this. In fact, the Clinton campaign had to pay a pretty big fine over this. Because they had failed to disclose that they had hired Farah and hired Chris Steele, who they sent to Moscow to work with the Kremlin to try to come up with what looked like organic information to get Trump. And when the FBI wouldn't verify it or have anything to do with it or follow it up with a legitimate investigation, they decided to launder the information through the press.

So they leveraged their contacts of very like-minded, you know, politically like-minded people in the press. One of them worked with Yahoo News. A lot of the names are redacted. And the reason we know this is because a Freedom of Information Act request was granted. It should have been.

And the names, they released all this stuff, and you can see people were getting paid for it. And I think Isikov was one of the names. There were several other names, some of them were redacted, some of them came out. But it showed these these reporters We were laundering this information. They would get this opo, they would write it as though it was their original reporting that they found and they investigated, and they published it.

And so, the Fusion GPS people, because one of the people that worked with Fusion GPS had a husband that worked with the DOJ, took it to the DOJ, said, Oh my gosh, look at these stories that are coming out. Don't you think that this necessitates investigation? Then they took that to a FISA judge who signed off on it without further inquiry or even like validating any of the information. And they got a surveillance warrant on people who were volunteering for working with the Trump campaign. That's literally how that happened.

So, they got in a lot of trouble for that.

So, you had people who saw that happen. You had the country that shut down. We shut down the most powerful economy in the world. Kids were kept out of schools. People were forced to get things that were called vaccines that actually didn't vaccinate you.

And there's a lot of distrust built up. In the public against our government, that our government and the Democrats elected in it, and some of the Republicans helped create.

So, you can see how the ground is prime to actually think that someone like Putin is legitimate. It's wild. And it's the far left that m that created this environment. Don't take the bait. And now, all of the news you would probably miss.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

So this uh Is a mystery. These homeowners in Philadelphia's Mount Airy neighborhood are trying to figure out what a metal. door-shaped object on the roof of their home is. It looks like a door. It looks like a plane door.

It does. Because it's like metal and it has a round little Admiral window in it. Uh they have no idea it was on their roof though. They think it fell maybe On The roof from a plane, but they're like, We wouldn't have gone through. That is actually good.

They have no idea. The FAA investigated. They said it didn't come from an aircraft, but I mean, it looks legit like a. It looks like an Airstream door. You know, like one of those airstream doors.

It does, yeah. It kind of looks like that. How did it get on their roof? They can't figure out how. That's just like wild.

I mean, I don't know.

So, this one police department in Oak Park. They say that This is, oh gosh, 20%. What, how many? What's the percentage? 27%.

Of their entire police force. They are budgeted for 118 officers, but they only have, but 32% of those are vacant. That's 27%. of their police force? that and this is an oak park illinois that is in that's they have they don't have anybody there That's a quarter of their force.

That is just They don't have. They're down a court. That's wild. Is anybody actually shocked? I don't know.

A 94-year-old, this is, oh gosh, this ended so well. This is horrifying. A 94-year-old was found lying in the cold snow, freezing to death for hours, and a newspaper delivery saved his life. It was an Eastern Indiana newspaper employee. She was delivering her papers, a 94-year-old man who used to do the same job when he was a boy.

He apparently had an accident, fell in the snow. His eyes were open, couldn't speak. And she found him, saved him. Thankfully, he was hospitalized for a while. But goodness, stick with us.

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. The special counsel was not satisfied with that answer. They went and looked in the garage and even though they are bringing no charges, this is a very embarrassing report for a president in his 80s running for re-election, particularly since there have been multiple headlines this week about challenges he has had with his memory. while campaigning.

Yeah, it's uh You think? That's Peter Doocy. It's a bad report. It's a report that they keep trying to spin. Welcome back to the program.

Dana Lash here. Kane's got this audio of this guy, Ian Sams. Who keeps trying to say that You know, there was no case here. Listen to this. This is they're still spinning this.

The president spoke powerfully about this last night. After a long investigation that turned over every stone and explored every theory, the special counsel decided that there was no case there. That's not what they decided, guys. That's not, no, no, that's not what they decided. Not at all.

I I put the I had the screenshots of the report up. That's not at all what he said. It said that. He willfully retained files in his garage. He wilfully did it.

But they're not going to pursue it because he's not mentally competent to stand like t to trial for it. They said, quote, it would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him. A president well into his 80s of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness. They're saying that he's too cheese-brained. To stand trial.

They didn't say. They didn't say that there wasn't a case there. That was the opposite of what they said. They said that They literally, that he, he, I mean, look, this is literally verbatim in the report. Our investigation uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen.

Ann? But he's got that Biden privilege.

So the guy that has the nuclear codes Who Violated the law on classified information isn't getting charged because he's a cheesebrain. Yeah. he does not demonstrate the quote mental state of willfulness necessary to prosecute. Like, listen to this. This is from the report, quote.

In his interview with our office, Mr. Biden's memory was worse. He did not remember when he was vice president, forgetting on the first day of the interview when his term ended. Quote, if it was 2013, when did I stop being vice president? End quote.

And forgetting on the second day of the interview when his term began. Quote, in 2009, am I still vice president? End quote. He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Bo died. And he was talking about the uh When his son died, he had a rosary or something like that.

He couldn't remember something about the rosary he couldn't remember. The report continues in saying that, and his memory appeared hazy when describing the Afghanistan debate that was once so important to him. Among other things, he mistakenly said that he had a real difference of opinion with General Carl Eikenberry, when, in fact, Eikenberry was an ally whom Mr. Biden cited approvingly in his Thanksgiving memo to President Obama. Hmm.

They said also, quote, Mr. Biden's memory also appeared to have significant limitations. Oh my gosh. They said that he struggled to remember events and strained at times to read and relay his own notebook entries. That's bad.

So now you're going to see the purge begin. They're going to start measuring Biden up against all these other Democrats. And here we are out with the first.

Now insiders are saying it's panic time, and the party should dump Biden at the summer convention. Gavin Newsome's waiting in the wings. I told you. One White House official said Biden should not be our standard bearer. Last night was kind of the nail in the coffin, I think.

And I think they did it on purpose. I think that they timed it on purpose. I think that they were willing to allow the United States to have the appearance. uh looking bad against Our leader against Russia's leader, so that they could further. accelerate the urgency of their case.

I mean, it looks bad. It's going to be newsome. It'll be Gavin Newsome. That's who it'll be. And he's gonna have to go on a charm offensive because he has a difficulty in being likable.

He seems disingenuous. He's got his own, he's got a ton of baggage. His wife is like Hillary 2.0. For real. You should read Jen Van Law's reporting on them over at Red State because she was born and raised in Simi Valley, which is like the last Republican stronghold in California.

She is very familiar with the Newsoms, very familiar with them. Uh but I'm telling ya, it's uh It I mean, it's it's just bad. He willfully retained and disclosed this stuff. He engaged in practices that, quote, present serious risks to national security. And then he does stuff Like this.

Audio sound by three. I mean What? When I said, when I pushed all these programs, I said I'm going to be a president for everybody whether they live in a red state or a green state. Um What? What do you mean a green state?

Red state or green state? There was a lot. That was bad from this. Um this is what he said about this report specifically, audio soundbite 4. Listen to this.

I was so determined to give the special counsel what he needed, I went forward with a five-hour in-person, five-hour in-person interview over two days on October the 8th and 9th of last year. Even though Israel had just been attacked by Hamas on the 7th and I was very occupied. was in the middle of handling an international crisis.

Okay. You're handling that? He he handled it. Yeah. He didn't even say anything about it for like days.

Right. How long? Was it two days? Yeah. We didn't hear from them for a couple of days.

Uh this is the story that I was mentioning about his son Bo. I don't know how much of it he makes up anymore and how much of it is actually something he's trying to recount from memory because he's lied so many times. Audio Soundbite 9. This is all just from last night. It was just a wow.

There's even reference that I don't remember. when my son died. How in the hell dare he raise that? Frankly, when I was asked the question, I thought to myself, it wasn't any of their damn business. Let me tell you something.

Some of you have commented, I wear since the day he died. every single day the rosary he got from our lady of Uh oh. Uh oh. Why just why? See, when you when you try to sit here and and Triple and double down on this stuff, it just doesn't work, dude.

Oh, and then let's not forget. See if you can guess what he's trying to name here. Audio sound byte 10. And making Roe v words. The law of the land.

Roe v what r Roe v. Roard, Kane. And making Roe be worth the law of the land. Wow. He's trying to say Roe v.

Wade. Wow, so I uh Yeah, that's bad. That's pretty bad. Also, another little tiny nuanced thing that people are not talking about today in regards to these classified documents is that During the time, he was not president. He didn't enjoy any immunity or even a wisp of immunity with that.

We've talked about that before. He didn't have the authority as vice president to declassify any, and that's a process that you do have to go through. It's not a lengthy one, but you have to tell the archives. I think there was enough to put him in front of a jury, but I think there was all the questions in the world. They had to say that in that report, that he wasn't incompetent in order to save his ass.

That's exactly what they did. Audio Soundbite 11, even CNN couldn't believe. What that Biden completely went out and said totally contradicted. What the report said. He's not exonerated here.

Listen to this. This goes to the corner. Exactly. That is what. blew my mind about Joe Biden's statement.

Except two major things, he just outright Contradicts or is contradicted by, however, you look at this, this report. There are two things he said that are completely the opposite of what Robert Hurr found. Who do you believe? Is up to, I guess, the individual consumer. First, Joe Biden says, I did not act willfully.

Willfully just means voluntarily, intentionally.

Well, the second sentence of this whole summary says, President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials. The facts in here show it was willful. He knew, he talked about it. And the second thing he says is, I did not disclose classified documents to my ghostwriter. Page three says, That he did that.

It says, Mr. Biden shared information, including some classifying information from those notebooks. with his ghostwriter. Mm. So Guys.

He knew it was willful. But no charges. Because he's special. He's got that privilege. I wonder if they're like, well, there's not going to be any charges for you if you step down now.

But if you don't step down, you know, we're not going to be able to protect you. I wouldn't put it past them. Doing that. I really wouldn't. I mean, I wouldn't put that past them at all.

to say that. But, the report was conclusive. He willfully violated the law, but he is not mentally competent enough. to actually go to court over it so they're not going to pursue. That's stunning.

If he can't withstand legal scrutiny. Why in the hell is he in the White House? And that's not to say that I want Kamala. I don't see how they don't switch him out. They're making the case.

I think that's why they allowed him to do this press conference last night. That's why they allowed him to give the speech, and he took some questions, and it was just a train wreck. I think they did it because they want to expedite His Exit. And they've got Newsome waiting in the wings for this. Just saying.

There's no other way that you get around this. And at the same time though, Because I think that Trump's, the classified docs in Trump's case, I think that's like of all the stuff that they're throwing at him. In my estimation, and Lorraine has more coming out about this. In my estimation, that's to me, that's like the only. Actual Perhaps actionable, and let's, you know, take it to court, and then let's see what happens.

That's like the only thing that they could move on. Everything else is just Ridiculous. It's everything else really does seem politically motivated. Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts, because knowledge is your ultimate superpower. One more person, as I've been quoting folks today, Yara Rosenberg at The Atlantic said, Biden has gaffed names his entire career.

His entire career. It is not uncommon that he has done that.

Well um That's is that supposed to be a defense? He's had gaffes his entire career, including that plagiarism gaffe that cost him his you know, the last time the the back in the nineties when he was running for president, Robert Barry had to step down because he slied. And actually, um Had stolen from for his, I don't know how many speeches that he had. Welcome back. Dana Lash here.

With you. She was asked too, when can we talk to the president's doctor, Corrine Jean-Pierre, at the presser, and she wouldn't answer. She's like, Oh, that's I'm gonna walk away now, it's done. That makes sense because didn't they want like Trump to actually Bring his doctor out and all this stuff. And didn't they go and try to find his doctor and sit down and do interviews and all that stuff with him?

Remember? Where's Biden's dock? I mean, suddenly, is health not important anymore? It was really important the last administration. I mean, I don't know.

Between him and uh Kamala Drunky Harris, good grief. I don't know what's worse. Keep in mind, we haven't heard from White House Counsel at all. Since this report. And number two, Um we haven't heard from the President's doctor.

At all. Yeah, for saying, yeah, we haven't. Where's he at? But he contradicted the report. Wait, there's a great piece up.

Lorraine has a piece that's up at Substack right now over chapter and verse. That gets into some of the the other spec uh specifics of it. But It is The id the idea that this is a done thing. They're going to try to say, oh, it's been examined, it's done, move on.

Well, you can't. She has photos up there too of where the classified documents were in the garage. That's even more reckless than keeping them by the toilet of Mar-a-Lago, which was reckless. But this is even more reckless 'cause Hunter could go was going in here and getting into the Corvette. I'm sorry, but if you know the guy was vice president of the United States and you see a box of documents like that, that's the first thing I'd be looking into.

Like I would I would totally be digging through that just to see what's what. Did we not find cocaine powder on that gun pouch of Hunters? What if... there was some residual left on those classified docks. I mean, it wouldn't be beyond the.

realm of believability, although you're not going to hear about that. That's not anything you're going to hear about. But I wouldn't disbelieve it. I mean that sounds about right. That sounds like it could be true.

Good heavens Just a mess. But they can't say, they're going to try to say, oh, it's one and done. Look, the report came out. That's it. Nothing else to see here.

That's what they're going to try to push in this. They're going to try to say it's done. You don't need to know anything else about it. They, we already, look, we investigated it.

Now they're going to try to spin this as there's no criminality here. That's not what they said. They said he's too cheese-brained to actually take him to trial. Yes. Because to do that, you would have to require, what did they say, a mental willfulness, and he doesn't have that.

That's not a defense. Just like saying, well, he's always Yeah. That's also not a defense. None of that stuff. Stop it.

None of that is a defense, you nerds. None of that is. That's so bad. None of this is helps him. Goodness.

Now, folks, make sure you go find us over at Substack Chapter and Verse. Facebook and YouTube, where you can like and subscribe. We got a lot of good stuff up there, especially from our discussions this past week. In the meantime, today in Stupidity Cain. All right, it is Biden spokesperson Ian Sams, who has a zero, literally zero response when there was pointed a question that Joe Biden was answering yesterday and that specific lie he told.

Listen to this. Second thing, the president also said last night, all the stuff that was in my home was in filing cabinets that were either locked or able to be locked. But the report says that some of the classified documents were in cabinet drawers, while others about Afghanistan, for example, were in an unsealed and badly damaged box sitting in his garage.

So did the president misspeak last night? Look, I think the president was replying to a number of inaccurate allegations in this report. We've talked a lot about, Justin asked about the diaries, and this is hypocritical. Clearly, the spin's happening, and we're entering into the weekend. There you go.

Folks, that does it for us this week. Have a wonderful weekend. I will be back behind the mic with you on Monday.
