Tariffs, Turkey, & Triumphs: Trump's Executive Order, Ceasefires, & DEI Defeats

The absolutely breaking law. All you have to do is look at Arizona versus U.S. you'll see these breaking law. But look, me and the Denver mayor, we agree on one thing. He's willing to go to jail.

I'm willing to put them in jail. Because there's a statute. It's Title VIII, United States Code 1324 III. And what it says is, it's a felony if you knowingly harbor and conceal illegal immigration authorities. Yeah, absolutely breaking law.

I just can't believe how many times this has to be said. It's another reason why I'm so incredibly excited. For Tom Homan to take Yeah, that's it. Because I mean, it's it it it's just needed. It's just needed.

So, welcome to the program. It is the top of our first hour, and. Your uh lovable I'm you're lovable cremudge in here with you. Dana Lash.

So we're going to get into all of this stuff, but this is the. I like Tom Homan, and I've just. I am Just I know as you all are on pins and needles waiting for all of this to to get uh situated where it concerns the cabinet and get these cabinet posts filled. And there's some Some of the selections are not what I would like. And it's, you know, w they need to be something that we like because we gotta we gotta deal with it.

So We're going to get into all of this. Welcome to the show. It's Thanksgiving Eve Eve. And We've got culture. We've got some actual good news.

I can't believe I'm saying this about DEI stuff. because it feels like The pendulum is swinging the other way. And that we're actually making some ground, gaining some ground with this instead of constantly fighting and losing and having to deal with all these woke scolds out there.

So, there's some good news on the horizon. We're going to touch on that today. We're also going to get into, you know, obviously all of the latest. With the cabinet, we got domestic policy. I was reading a survey from Gallup this morning saying that people's.

uh their confidence in the economy, I'm sure you're really surprised by this, has improved post-election. Gee, I wonder why. And then, of course. The cost of Thanksgiving food We gotta talk about that. We have to have that discussion too, because they're still trying to push this idea that somehow we're all feeding people.

on like mounds of people on what? Just like $20, $50. We were talking about this the other day. It's still going on. The left is still trying to defend this stuff.

So I don't know.

So, anyway, welcome to the program. Happy Thanksgiving, Eve, Eve. One of the things that we've seen. And we're getting some whispers as to what We can expect from the administration. They haven't really, one of the things that was floated out there was this idea that he was going to.

Um That he was going to have a basically get rid of those who were serving who are, I guess, identify as transgender. And the spokesperson came out and said that that's not something that they had float or that they have made a decision on, rather.

So there was a I just noticed, and I know you saw those headlines too, there were quite a lot of them yesterday, and I was kind of wondering where some of them were coming from. But apparently that didn't originate with the campaign. It kind of makes me wonder if someone was floating that in an effort to. Maybe move the needle for the administration. I mean, it's definitely possible.

I don't know. But uh that's one of the things that that is not Certain that they said that they hadn't made a decision on. A couple of the other things.

Some of the tariffs, the discussion on the tariffs, which we've talked about, he has said that and made it a huge priority, you know, in his, you know, like the first, I guess, month that he's in office. He's going to have to do a lot of stuff with executive order because so many people have been taken out of the house, unfortunately. And, you know, whether or not there's the appetite to go back in and make sure that we're passing legislation for this remains to be seen. But he's going to have to do quite a lot with executive order the first. uh probably the first few weeks just because We've got special elections that have to happen.

You're not going to have all of your Senate seated. And your house seated. You're not going to, well, your house particularly.

So that's what makes me look at this one headline where they were talking about tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China. That's part of his first rash of executive orders.

Now, this is something that, again, I get weird with executive orders because you really need congressional action on this stuff. In Reading the Planet, it said they were looking at imposing a 25% tariff on property. products imported from Mexico and Canada. This was one of the only Uh Day one, first week, first month things that he's put out that he's had on his Truth Social account. The other stuff, like I was telling you about the transgender soldier thing, that's all that was all something that I don't know where that came from, but they said they had made a decision on that.

So, this he said, one of my executive orders, he said on Truth Social, he's going to sign the documents necessary to charge a 25% tariff on all products coming into the United States. And he said this tariff is going to remain into effect until such time as drugs, fentanyl, illegal aliens stop the invasion of our country. That's what he put on Truth Social. And then Mexico was responding, saying that they were that they would uh that they would in kind uh do something similar. That they would they would probably well, well they'll look at they'll look at uh implementing a tariff on uh U.S.

products. I don't know if they can withstand something like that, to be quite honest with you. But Why all the United States would have to do is immediately stop the flow across the border and just say, We're going to stop with green cards, we're going to stop with all this stuff then, and we're going to just specifically target you. Mexico with I mean, there's a lot of stuff that they could do that doesn't necessarily it's not necessarily uh doesn't have to be tariff in in response or increasing tariffs against Mexico if they decide to be retaliatory over all of this, but um It is, this is one of the things that the right is going to have to debate. The right's going to have to debate it because there are some on the right that I think they're more libertarian leaning that are very much against tariffs.

And I get it in some instances. I don't support it in every instance. But I do think you can't pretend that you have a free market when other countries are levying tariffs upon our products and yet we're completely supposed to let everyone have free access to ours. You know, it can't exactly go both ways.

So, or it has to, I mean, you, you have to, that door has to be able to swing both ways. You can't just have it, you know, one particularly.

So that's honestly would be like one of the first things that they would need. I mean, really, that that the United States would have a lot at its disposal as a way to push back against any kind of trade retaliation or anything from Mexico. They said, oh, yeah, we would just we would we'll do tariffs of our own. But again, The visas that we grant, what's the number of visas?

So for This is fiscal year 2023. The Type the new lawful permanent residence status for Mexico. The total for that period was 180,530. All you gotta do is just turn it off. If Mexico wants to FA, then FO and just do it just like they'll immediately stop.

They will immediately stop.

So there's one thing you can do. In the meantime, The uh We'll wait and see 'cause China's obviously not taking that. Taking that discussion.

Well, that's a whole other topic. We're going to save that one for Stephen Yates when we come back for Thanksgiving. But. The Tariff. And the fight over this.

Where it has to do with Canada, we have a really good relationship with Canada, but he makes a point about the drugs coming across the border. And a lot of that is lack of interior enforcement in Mexico. I mean, just a complete lack of enforcement.

So you have to have a partner at the border as well. And they can't just be constantly partnering with China. You have to have a partner at the border in order to implement for everything to work well, for us to stop the flow of drugs across the border. I don't know. I just want to get Tom Homan in office.

I'm so tired of talking about these damn nominations. I just want to wait and get some. We know who they are. We've lodged our disagreements with them. I'm not Fox News, and I'm not going to sit here and talk about the same damn appointments for week after week.

God help me. Not going to happen. There's other stuff to touch on. Nothing's changing with these. Hey, guess what?

The people that were nominated, still the same people that are nominated. Nothing's changed. No one sprouted another head. They haven't grown a third leg. Nothing's changed.

Same people.

So. One of the other, this is over a business insider. The President's vow I don't know if this was a vow. as much as it was maybe a suggestion to use US troops for mass deportations. could face intense resistance starting from within the military.

Hey, Cain. Yes, ma'am. What's the job of the President? What are they calling?

Well, he's the commander in chief. He's the head of the military. He's the one that is the A number one authority as it relates to the military.

So what if What if I were to tell my bosses at Radio America? I just don't really feel like doing this. I'm just not gonna and I just you know told them every time they like put a thing I'm not doing this I'm not doing this one. I'm not doing this one. No, I'm not going to.

I'm not going to cooperate with you on this. That wouldn't go over well. It wouldn't go over well for anybody in their job. Right. But yet Why are they leaking to the press saying, Yeah, we're not going to go along with any of this?

And he's just speculating, by the way. He's not. kicking out a step-by-step plan. And I love all these people. They're like, well, they Google things like, well, I mean, let's look.

You know, you have the act that bars federalized guardsmen from acting as law enforcement. Oh, suddenly now you guys love the Constitution. You're going to start citing it. You're going to start citing parts of the Constitution? But Wait a minute.

How what gets me is They don't they think that you're you're overextending to send people who are here illegally home. And you're also overextending to enforce any kind of border law. None of that makes sense. And that's where we are.

So I don't know.

I just feel. Mm.

Well, yes, you know, we're going to cite the Passe Comitatus Act and we're going to bar active duty. We can't. Oh, suddenly they're citing the Constitution. Suddenly they love it. And by the way, this is something that Tom Holman had suggested as well.

He had said that troops could assist immigration dragnets through non-enforcement roles. And that's completely. That's because it is a national security issue. Uh and of course They haven't released, he hasn't put out a step-by-step plan on True Social about it, but that's something that they've, you know, they've speculated about and they've suggested. But we'll see.

But the idea that you're going and you're gonna grab people who are in the country legally and you're gonna You're gonna deport. That's not what they're talking about. People who, I mean, I don't know. Do you have to draw a picture? How much more clear can you make it for these people?

There's a literal, there's a difference between coming in illegally and coming in illegally. Major difference. Major difference. And he can technically. legally employ, deploy the National Guard, If they're working with state governors and it's all for domestic law enforcement, that's absolutely allowed.

That's it because they're operating under state control, not federal control.

So that's absolutely allowed.

So I think people miss some of that. Uh we have a lot more on the way as we roll towards headlines. And uh getting uh you set up For Thanksgiving break.

So you have something to offend the Biden voters at your family table about. As we move our partners. That brings you this program. Who do we have? Oh, wait, here I have it.

I have it. Our friends over at Pre-Born. This is, by the way, this is such a great organization. I don't know how familiar you are with Pre-Born, but this is an organization that. is assisting women who are making the choice To become mothers.

And there's a lot out there in society that pressure women and tell them that they're not empowered enough to raise a baby if they have an unexpected pregnancy or unplanned pregnancy. And Pre-Born is there all across the United States in direct competition to the abortion industry. They're the largest provider of free ultrasounds in the country.

So they allow women, they bring women in and they can see their baby, meet their baby, hear the heartbeat through an ultrasound for the first time. And whenever that happens, they've done studies on this, the baby's chance at life doubles. You can make a big difference with a leadership gift. Double your impact with matching gifts as well, because every dollar that you give is doubled through a matching gift opportunity.

So your donation can go twice as far in saving babies. Pre-born has a four-star charity rating, so you can give with confidence. All their gifts are tax-deductible, too. Everything you give, all tax-deductible. And when you consider, I mean, honestly, you can buy today an ultrasound for a woman.

You could do a leadership gift of $5,000, $10,000, $15,000. Any donation helps your generation. Helps save countless babies who need it. And they go further. They meet women where they are.

They help with ultrasound, not just ultrasounds, but maternity diapers, car seats, all of it. And they partner with women to the toddler years. It's simple to donate. Visit preborn.com/slash Dana or dial pound250 and say keyword baby. We need to reach the goal of 1,500 ultrasound sponsorships.

That's preborn.com/slash Dana Pound250 Keyword Baby. They allow IRS agents to go after you even though they don't pay their taxes? The IRS agents auditing you owe a lot in back taxes. 6,000 IRS workers owe a total of $50 million. Check out the Watchdog on Wall Street podcast on Apple, Spotify, wherever you get your podcast.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. It can stop this. They're saying forecasts are warning of possible winter storms across the country during Thanksgiving week. Stop it.

It's going to be 80 degrees in Texas tomorrow. It's 60 degrees today. It's absolutely frigid. This is just Arctic. It's frigid, 60 degrees, it's when the far comes on.

80 degrees tomorrow, my head's going, what's happening? Everyone's sinuses are like, why does nature hate us?

So they said that another round of wintry weather could complicate traps. Stop it right now. Could complicate travel. And talking about snow. Apparently in Montana, they're already getting snow.

That's crazy. You guys are all. I don't know, man. I can't. I like to look at it, you know, maybe like touch it, and then I'm done.

Finished. Can't handle it anymore. It's too cold. It's like a no, I can't. I can't.

Also, let's see. New York's meat packing district is going to say goodbye to its last meat packer, and a 60-story tower could be on the way. That's like now, like the really arty bougie. It's been like that for the last 20 years, a real arty place. Are they going to call it meatpacking anymore?

I mean, if they're the last, because that's where all the meat used to go.

Now it's like all luxury, high-end stuff and clothes. Clubs and all this. But yeah, that's where actually all the people went to pack meat, and they called it the meat packing district for a reason. And now it's just... No, it's not gonna.

Now it's not.

Now it's all like bougie and offices and everything else.

So the last one is that's kind of sad. I don't know why, but that. You know, because nobody's, I mean, pretty soon they're gonna call it something different. Butterball is facing, oh boy. He's facing a Thanksgiving turkey boycott.

Course, as discussing sex abuse allegations resurface. It's uh. Slaughterhouse workers torturing and sexually abusing turkeys. Wow. PETA, I don't dislike PETA.

but I think they go way over the top with stuff. But They launched an investigation at a Butterball's Ozark, Arkansas location, and they said that they were, I mean, torturing them. They weren't. you know they would I can't tell you everything that they did, but you probably have an idea. I just find that to be heinous.

That's heinous. Like, we don't need to do that. I like eating meat. Don't try to make me hate you and make me not want to eat your turkeys. Quit, you know, just be nice.

You can still work with animals and be nice. You can still prepare them for slaughter and be nice, right? It's like the Patrick Swayze Roadhouse mantra: be nice because these people make me want to not be nice. And our brains love taking shortcuts with everything because we're lazy. We're a lazy species.

We are. Coming up, we got a lot more on the way. The story of socialism's failure. Which led ultimately to the first Thanksgiving. We're going to get into that.

Oh, Alec Baldwin says that. that we're ignorant people. Americans are an ignorant people. Yeah, stay with us. We got a lot more.

Our partners for this portion, the non-firearm firearm, the burn a gun, and that's exactly what it is. It's a non-firearm firearm. It actually can shoot chemical irritant projectiles that can stop threats from up to 50 feet away. It's a very powerful deterrent. And it's great to diversify what you have in terms of self-defense.

I always will carry. I have zero issue with telling someone that I, that you know, that lethal force to protect yourself and your loved ones. I mean, that's the point of self-defense. There are times when you're barred from carrying. And I would love to live in the kitten and sunshine world where I never have to go to a gun-free zone, but I'm a grown woman and I have to do grown woman stuff like work and pay bills and go to places sometimes where guns are banned.

I don't want to be a statistic because someone else lives in the fairy tale of that gun-free zone's work.

So, this is where Burna comes in. The Burna gun, again, it's legal in all 50 states. There's no background check, there's no waiting period. They ship it right to your door. And I know a lot of my friends that also have gotten this as another option for self-defense, especially when they have to go.

In some of these areas where they're barred from carrying their actual firearm. You can check out all the models that they have. The Berna SD is the most popular selling. Option that they have. They have many others.

They also have different accessories, projectiles. And from now, from well, from November 29th till December 2nd, rather, you can get 15% off site-wide on all Burno products.

I gotta tell you. I'm still mad about this. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. We're at the top of this first hour.

Actually, sorry, bottom of this first hour. Kane and I were talking about this on break because this, I don't know why, but this has made me mad. And I'm still mad about it. You ever like read something and you're like, Still mad, stay mad. Yeah, that's Yeah.

This is. This is after I saw what's his name? Frank Chunks.

Sorry, verbal type on its days. Uh this is He put this thing out. I'm pulling this up right.

Okay, here it is. I wanted to make sure I get the article right because it was CBS. I kept thinking it was ABC. It's CBS. And they were saying, Oh yeah, you know, um Thanksgiving dinner prices are dropping.

Oh my gosh. No, they're not. And then they were trying to do like a cost of 10. That the average cost of a Thanksgiving dinner for 10 is going to be $58, and that's 9% less. And you're supposed to applaud for Joe Biden.

And Kamala Harris. You're all supposed to applaud. Are you applauding? Because you can feed. Apparently, in some kind of psycho world, you can feed 10 people for $58.

For Thanksgiving dinner. I've had some smartasses on XCO. Oh, yeah, you can. Oh, you got, and I want to slap their teeth out of their faces, out of the meat sack that they call a head. And here's why: because they're lying.

I told Kanan that I'm like, this one guy was running his mouth at us like, well, I was able to get gravy for a dollar. First off, what do you mean, get gravy, you poser? What the heck is that? You make the gravy. What is the get gravy?

What is that? Oh my gosh. All right. Anyway. Gosh, I just who would want to eat at that guy's house?

Uh he's like the guy who doesn't clean his ice maker. He's one of those guys. Anyway. They were running their mouths at Kane and I and I said something kind of mean and I should I felt like I should repeat it Most normal people would try to stuff that deep down within. I celebrate it.

Happy Thanksgiving. And I told Kane, I said, You know, the only the guy's he doesn't this is a dude who does not shop. He's never prepared a meal. This dude has never been inside. You know what?

He's got his stay-at-home repressed female taking care of everything back for him at the house.

So he can pretend. To be a progressive male on X and try to lecture everybody else what they're doing for Thanksgiving dinner. How high are you to think 10 people for $58?

Now, you could maybe get close to it. But you ain't getting it for $58 unless you're pulling stuff out of your garden. And shooting your own birds, just saying. Smiles cost more than that. Yeah, no joke.

We were looking at the prices. Like, um. I think for Ten people. First off, let's establish something. I think the idea of how much a single person, how much turkey a one singular person eats.

is greatly misunderstood in this nation. Greatly misunderstood. And I'm not going to lie, if you put a pound of turkey meat, because I am the person who eats like the vegetables and the meat, and I try not to mess around too much, I might sneak some yams. I try not to mess around with it too much. Because you know, starch is not as healthy.

But If I'm one of those people. I don't know how much I should tell this.

Okay, so. I will eat like a man. Right. I think Look, why are you so eager to volunteer that? When have you seen me eat like a man?

Oh, come on. Every time I've ever seen you eat. What do you mean? I feel like it's to the point where it actually invokes competition in me. I'm just trying to think where I'm like, I need to eat more of a man than Dana.

I mean, I could sit down and I could put away a pizza. I just have discipline and choose not to. Yeah. It's a choice every day. That's true.

Yeah. I have less discipline. I mean If there's sweet potatoes, I love those, things like that. I don't like turkey except on Thanksgiving. Hate it.

Hate turkey. Thanksgiving, something flips in my brain. I'm like, love it. But if you put a pound of turkey on a plate and hand that to me, that's gonna look measly. Why is we because we're like, oh, well, this person will eat a pie.

Yeah. You're going to eat more than a pound. I'm going to tell you this, and it's protein and it's okay. It's good poultry. It's protein.

You're all right. You're going to eat more than a pound. Someone's sitting down figuring out how much, you know, how what the size of bird we should get. And I I'm looking like well What what do you think? Maybe two pounds on average?

Per person? Yeah. I'm cur I want the chat to weigh in on that. But you have to understand that when you get the full weight of the turkey, it's the bones too. You're not expecting people to eat bones.

So there's like a good well, there's someone at the table I don't like. Yes, I am. You're going to force feed the bone. But it's the I think what it c boils down to is a certain percentage of the bird is actually bone.

So you can't take if you got a twenty-three-pound bird, maybe eighteen of that is meat.

Something like that? Yeah, so see, you got to think about that stuff. That's a very good point, sir. Very good point.

So a couple I don't know, I'm just thinking like for ten people. you're probably going to need a 20 pound Plus bird. I would say at least 20 to 24 pound bar. Those are like twenty two dollars. at the grocery store near me.

Uh depending on what kind of p potatoes you get. I mean, if you're gonna do uh if you're gonna do sweet potatoes you're looking at without tax, it's about ninety cents. Pertati. They're actually, they were $1.49. They're on sale.

Eight. Pertati. Yeah. Uh you could get uh six dollars without tax, a five-pound bag of like the Russet potatoes, right? Because you gotta have your mashed potatoes so you can create your gravy crater.

And that's how kids you can tell if someone's a communist. If they're not creating a gravy crater with their mashed potatoes, A. They're not American. They're not human. They're probably from Mars and they're commies.

That's like the worst of all the things, right? Communist aliens, like from Mars. They need to be told. Yeah, they need to be told. Everybody knows this.

So, I'm not even getting into like if you do a vegetable, like if you do green beans, and I try not to do processed food as much as possible because it's horrible for you. And it's just better to to make it. And uh like we'll do like we're doing a broccoli casserole this year. Because we always did like a green beans and nobody eats it. Nobody eats green beans.

My mom is always like, oh, I love the green beans. Doesn't touch a bean. Make them for every year. Woman, don't touch a bean. And I'm like, she tells all the, you know, she's telling the kids, oh, I love, Nana loves the green bean.

No, you don't, Nana. I'm watching you. You're not eating them? I'm not a fan of the French cut ones, but I do like the Blue Lake cut green beans. I mean, I'll eat them if I feel like.

I have to. Otherwise I'll scoot em around on my plate and pretend. Not gonna lie. Uh oh. Not gonna lie.

So Like a broccoli castle, you can make your pumpkin pies. We usually do a chocolate pie. All this is getting upwards, up over the $58. And I ain't even getting into the wine or if you have any brewskis, any kind of adult nectar. I'm not even getting into any of that soda.

That sounds weird to say.

Sodies. If y'all's getting some sodies. You know what? It's Thanksgiving Eve Eve. I can do that.

I'm going to slide right into it. You know, if y'all are going to get some sodies, then, you know. Whichever soda junes I want. If you're more north. It's pop.

That's who calls it pop? People in the North. No, do they really call it pop? Yeah. Like pop.

There's a lot of people that have migrated from the north to the south that call it pop still. But yeah, no. It's pop for them. It's sody or coke. Everything's Coke.

Even when you mean Pepsi. Because I like Pepsi. It's a, I'll have a Coke. No, I want that other Coke. I've literally had members of my family say this, and I'm like, you mean peppy?

See? 'Cause it's it's not cold other Coke. My point in going through all of this is that these stooges at CBS who are like, Oh, yeah You couldn't just $58 for 10 people. It's a perfect. What are you eating?

What are they eating? They're trying to act like That It's historically affordable. If you Google that, or Google, if you put it on X, all these people are saying the same thing. Oh, it's historically affordable. Historically affordable.

It's down five percent prices. Did did historically change definition while we were sleeping? Let's check. 'Cause I wait, does historically still mean the same. I'm just gonna put it in here.

Yeah, I mean, uh, in accordance to or with respect to history, so, uh Yeah. They're trying to make this a really big thing for you. Oh, it's historic but that does that's just like, you know, a man can't be a woman, this can't be historically low. It's not. It doesn't make any doesn't make any sense.

This idea, and I'm just looking at all the prices. This is just at my, and I'm not looking at bougie stuff. This ain't at like. Whole Foods or Central Market or none of that stuff. This is at your Kroger, you know, at your at your Grog at your Aldi's even.

I bet at Aldi's, it's even, and I like Aldi's. People sometimes I think Toss shade on Aldi's. Aldi's is good. What people tossing shade on who pe people act like they're mad that they got choices for affordable foodstuffs.

So it doesn't matter where it is. I mean the the You're not spending. You're not going to be spinning. That's a stretch. Here's some water, and everyone gets the thinnest slice of turkey because we've got to make this meat stretch, okay?

And uh here's our stuffing. And uh we just got I will say the the sliced cranberry sauce. That's always that's what maybe a l Maybe a dollar fifty without tax. Actually, what is that? Let's look that up.

Because Long, I just don't know why they're trying to lie now. They're trying to lie to you about how much you're spending. There were people who are like, I got a family of six and I was already at, you know, a hundred and seventy something. And this is with, and now I'm going to have to go out and get extra meat because we got other people coming, and then it's going to increase it even more, et cetera. I mean, everybody, when I commented on this on X, there were so many people in the thread that were sharing: like, this is, we have eight people, we have 10 people, we're having 12 people, we're having six people, we're having three people, we're having four, whatever.

And Every single one of them was spending more. Than the $58. And none of these people were going to Whole Foods and buying like the super bougie stuff, you know, where they go and they massage the turkeys and give them a scalp massage and it's like a Werner Brothers cartoon. They're not doing any of that. I mean, it's just a regular grocery store.

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. In many regards, this election cycle did not go as I had hoped. In response to Trump's national immigration policies, Frederick Mayor Michael O'Connor pledged to carve out space in his local budget for a legal advocacy fund, which would use tax dollars to pay undocumented immigrants' attorneys' fees as they fight deportation. Who Well This is going to be forever a fight. That's the Maryland mayor.

Yes, tax dollars are going to be used to pay these legal fees. This is taxation without representation. That's not what we pay our dollars for, and this is why I honestly think why Are we paying taxes for it to be used in ways that are not ways that we the g the govern through the power of our consent have consented to. Yeah. That's not the agreement is that You're going to act in accordance with the law.

You will enforce. laws on national sovereignty. on legal entry. And You have this amount of taxpayer dollars to Use for strictly that purpose. That's not what this is.

To pay to pay the legal fee.

So do you think that if I illegally entered Mexico that Mexico would use Mexican nationals' taxpayer dollars to pay for my defense? Or If I tried to illegally enter Any country. What about Saudi Arabia? I think Saudi Arabia would pay for my legal defense. What about Argentina?

Ooh, what about China? The left loves China. think that they would pay for my Why is it the country in which you enter illegally, why are they responsible for paying for the legal fees of someone who willfully and knowingly broke the law? That's Wow such an an abuse of of elected authority. Such an abuse.

How do these people keep voting for this stuff? And thinking that it's these people are so cavalier with everybody else's money. Notice it's always these people on the left that support this. Oh, yes, we have to have higher taxes. Oh, yes, we need to be able to pay this.

But none of these lazy grifters will ever themselves write a check to the Treasury. The Treasury would accept it. You actually can give more. I don't know if people are aware of this, but you can't actually give more. In terms of what you pay in taxes, than what you're, and you could tell them to keep it.

And you and you can tell you you can you can even reject your refund. But no one on the left does this. Notice that they they act like they are somehow incapable of doing this. unless the federal government or some government entity forces everybody to do it.

Well then That's not you choosing to do something of your own. Free will, that's you being forced to do something And this is one of the reasons why our government's a horrible facilitator of charity. You're removing from people Any Any kind of incentive, any kind of anything to do something themselves. If these people wanted to do it, let them do it. They can fund it.

But why are they not doing that? Why is the left not why are these leftists that are is this mayor? Do you think this mayor is paying extra? To have His money used for The defense of people who legally entered the country. I mean, I don't know what defense they could have.

I mean, yes, I. completely entered the country illegally. Yes, of course. I don't know what defense they could have. This is a huge problem.

The left is facilitating our demise through policies like this. I mean, coming up, we've got the story about how they're actually, and I know NYPD believes this. I mean, this is just assumed fact that Trenda Aragua and all these other gangs from You know, like Venezuela and elsewhere, they've been recruiting. Youth. in these shelters that they're putting illegal aliens in.

and storing them there. It's just, this is wild to me. We saw what happened in Germany when they started doing this stuff. We saw what happened in Britain when they started doing this stuff, free and fast and loose with their borders. We're doing the same thing.

We're witnessing the same thing happening here in the United States. This just is, it makes me not. Why the hell are we paying taxes if this is what our money is used for? Why? I asinine.

And then this is the exact same government that expects you to understand why, well, we got to give more money to Ukraine. Oh, we've got a Gotta do we've gotta give more money to Ukraine. Oh, we've gotta give more money here. We've gotta donate more money here, more tax dollars. I tell you.

I know. I'm going to have a lot to talk about at Thanksgiving dinner, aren't you?

Now, coming up, speaking of Thanksgiving dinner. Do you realize That This nation was founded by failed Socialists. They failed horrifically. learned their lesson. And that from that capitalism took root.

I'm going to explain all of that because it plays into the capitalist Thanksgiving. We got all of that and more coming up. Stick with us. Welcome back. We're at the top of this second hour.

You can listen coast to coast, channel 347 direct TV as well. Make sure you check out the podcast. I mean, you're already listening somehow, so you kind of know. Also, substack chapter and verse, always good stuff over there. This is breaking news: a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah is expected to take effect within hours, according to a U.S.

official per CBS news. It's been widely reported now. They said it's supposed to be announced today.

Now, it's not Israel and Hamas, it's Israel and Hezbollah. Hezbollah is the Iranian-backed terror outfit that's in to the north of Israel, so it's in Lebanon. Uh but apparently this is uh supposed to halt the conflict there. Within hours. Apparently, they've come to.

I mean, I'm sure we'll get more information. It's expected to be announced today. That they've secured a ceasefire in Lebanon, ending the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah for now. Under the deal, it is being reported as a full and permanent ceasefire implemented immediately, 60 days permitted for the full withdrawal of Israeli forces, a gradual withdrawal to allow Lebanese forces to mobilize and move in to secure the area, but the trigger time is immediate, set to take effect later today. Uh the first peel-off of Israeli troops was to begin within the next ten days.

and Hezbollah is expected to pull its forces and heavy weaponry back about twenty miles from the Israeli border. They said that the Prime Minister had already convened the country's security cabinet to discuss the proposal. as they have to they have to agree to any sort of ceasefire agreement. And they said that Lebanon's government also had to unilaterally approve the deal. And officials say that that is expected.

And the ceasefire, this would be the dead, this is the deadliest conflict since 1990 in Lebanon, so this would end this. Netanyahu is going to be addressing his nation actually probably within the hour, which is about 8 p.m. their time, 1 p.m. Eastern. And uh actually now, really.

12 p.m. Central, 1 p.m. Eastern. So about now. And The French didn't help negotiate the deal, but apparently they're going to be a part of the implementation somehow.

And that's pretty much it. They said that they. Uh this is something that um Blinken told reporters. after they met w when they were in G seven, They met with their G7 counterparts in Italy, and he was saying that they were. moving towards brokering this uh diplomatic So that's the latest.

Apparently, there's going to be a ceasefire between uh Israel and uh Hezbollah, the Iranian terror regime. They're in Lebanon.

So where it's Thanksgiving Eve Eve. And um One of the things that I always like to go through when I homeschooled my kids up until junior high. This is one of the lessons that we we looked at every single Thanksgiving. And it and it it's based on the writings of William Bradford. Who is the governor of Plymouth?

And as you know, that was like the first big I guess colony that was being established here in the United States. And I had said before we went to break that the United States, actually, the society here was. It was actually started by failed socialists. who really horribly failed. And they tried socialism.

Uh there's um there was extensive historical writing on this from William Bradford, who was the governor at the time, who talked about all of this, when they first came to the new world, and this was like in 1620. You know, yes, they were fleeing religious persecution, but they also. Wanted to get away from the old world and create something new. And so that is where the Plymouth colony. That's how that that that uh Came to be, and they were big adherents of Plato's Republic, and they wanted the ideal communism that they claim was found in the Republic, which is ironic.

They said that you know in the beginning when they were all establishing this colony that they would not have Either private property, they would not have any sort of self. interested, uh you know, gain, nothing like that. And the diary of the governor at the time, who was the head of the colony, he noted that they. The colonists were collect, they collectively cleared. and they worked the land And they said, however, they ran into a problem because you would think, you know, no one's going to own everything.

It's going to be kittens and sunshine, hold hands and sing, kumbaya, hippies, yay. and that it was going to be you know perfect little glorious society and it wasn't It was It was Absolute hell. And Bradford noted at the time that As they were collectively clearing the land and working the land, that they brought forth neither the bountiful harvest hoped for nor a spirit of shared and cheerful brotherhood. There's a reason why. In every society, You have people who want to work and you have people who don't work.

And the people who do not work? There might be some different reasons, but And a lot of it I think that there are in in some respects and I think that The people who don't work because of Some kind of illness or something, anything. That's That's the exception to this rule. There are a lot of people, and this is all how I define all of progressivism, that are just lazy. They're lazy.

They don't want to work. They want to be taken care of. They think that the point of government is to take care of them. And they first got the taste of this in this Plymouth colony. The less industrious, Bradford noted.

members of this colony, they would come to work in the fields late. They were slow and easy in their labours, he noticed. Because they knew they didn't have to work. Yeah. They did not have to exert as much effort as they would have to.

Had they where they were forced to rely upon their own labor. They knew that they and their families, no matter what kind of effort they put into work in the land, They and their families were going to get an equal share. of everything prod whatever the group produced.

So where is the incentive? to be more diligent in your effort. When you're going to get an equal share regardless. And the Colonists that showed up on time or early. and worked hard and stayed late.

They began Feeling incredibly resentful. of the less industrious bunch of colonists who did not want to work. They were mad that their efforts would be redistribut re redistributed uh redistributed to their their Lazy Neighbors So then they lost their incentive.

So they started coming in late. and they were less energetic in clearing the fields and working the land. Bradford noted in his diary For the young men that were able and fit for labour and service did repine that they should spend their time and strength to work for other men's wives and children without recompense. The strong or men of parts had no more division of food, clothes, etcetera., than he that was weak and not able to do a quarter the other could. This was thought injustice.

the aged and graver men to be ranked and equalized in labour, and food, clothes, etcetera., with the meaner and younger sort, thought it some indignant and disrespect unto them. and for men's wives, to be commanded to do service for other men as dressing their meat or washing their clothes, they deemed it a kind of slavery neither could husbands brook it.

So they had resentment. They immediately fostered not brotherhood, but resentment. They deincentivized hard work. And if you can imagine the harvest was sparse. and meager.

They had to they had to ration equal shares, and it was not enough that first winter. to ward off starvation and death. They were only at this barely two years, and they realized they had to do something else. They could not go through another winter where they were starving to death. And burying people because even though the resources were aplenty, no one wanted to do the work.

So what they did is they did a they tried something completely new. Instead of the hippie kumbaya handholding stuff, They thought, why not allow people an allotment of land, and then from that allotment They would keep whatever they put into it.

So they introduced something radically different to the colony. Again, this was barely after two years, barely two years. they introduced private property. and the right of families to keep the fruit of their own labor. Bradford, in his diary, wrote And so assign to every family a parcel of land according to the proportion.

of their number for that end, and this had very good success, for it made all hands very industrious so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been by any means the governor or any other could use, and saved him a great deal of trouble, and gave far better content. The women now went willingly into the field, and took their little ones with them to set corn, which before would allege weakness and inability, whom to have compelled would have been thought great tyranny and oppression. End quote.

So the first harvest. that they had introduced private property, Bradford noted in his diary. That the Plymouth Colony They had a bounty of food. They were trading with each other they had their own little commerce Not only did they have so much food, they had more food than they knew what to do with. Industry was the order of the day.

There was dignity in what they were doing. They weren't. having to get a handout from their fellow man. They were all equal. in their ability to create or produce or contribute.

And they got to keep the fruits of their labor and bless other people that may have struggled with one thing or another. And so when harvest time came, Bradford noted. that they had surpluses. And they all began trading with each other. He writes quote By this time harvest was come.

and instead of famine, Now God gave them plenty, and the face of things was changed, to the rejoicing of the hearts of many, for which they blessed God, and the effect of their planting was well seen, for all had, one way or another, pretty well to bring the year about and some of the abler sort and more industrious had to spare and sell to others, so as any general want or famine hath not been amongst them since to this day. They rejected The socialist Utopia, which interestingly is Latin for something that doesn't exist. For actual real world. Individualism. And he said that What they had tried Because the Greeks had promised That you could achieve a paradise through collectivism as opposed to being an individual.

And Bradford was like, you know, this has been tried. Sundry years. And they may well convince of the vanity and conceit of Plato's and other ancients. He said that the taking away of property, bringing common wealth, would make them happy and flourishing. And he said, but that was not to be.

And they realize that that this kind of approach is incompatible with the human spirit. It's it's Charity is not compulsory. There you you can't force people to do it. That takes away the spirit of charity. It takes away the dual purpose of it.

And Bradford concluded with Let none object, this is man's corruption, nothing to the cure itself. and he said God in his wisdom saw another course fitter for them talking of the colonists. They chose to bless other people. They chose individually of their own volition. to help others and engage in trade and do all of this.

That is the animating spirit of liberty. And it's a difficult thing. If you could bottle it and sell it, that'd be great. It's a difficult thing to catch. Because there are people who want to be taken care of.

There are people in this country who think That by being citizens of this country, that you already are, you're somehow like a ward of the state. And there is risk and freedom, and that's the beauty of freedom. Because there's also comebacks in freedom. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

Why, hello there.

Alright, so uh.

So Elton John apparently lost sight in his right eye. Yeah, he says he can't see anything in his right eye. But he does wear phenomenal glasses. Let's just put that like that. He's 77 years old.

He said that he spent, he was battling an infection and he hopes he's gonna be able to see properly again. He can't work on new music because of his limitations with his vision. And he said he lost his eyesight in his right eye in July because he had an infection. He was in the south of France.

So, I don't know, just in just uh, wow. That's a bummer. Better start writing music because everybody else out here blows Sir Elton. Drivers stranded and they walked out of airports to find their cars missing at DFW. 52 cars worth $5 million were stolen by an organized crime group.

This is why I literally will never drive a car to an airport. This is what I have always planned for happening. People think out, no, what if an organized crime network steals all your cars?

So drivers were stranded. They walked out of their airports to find their cars missing. And then they said, and this was at DFW. They said $5 million an organized crime group stole all. Isn't this what Fast and Furious was all about?

Who is it? This is the movie. They've been running this investigation since February of last year. They've identified 14 suspects. The group is based in Houston, and they were using a license plate reader.

Three men arrested, thanks to this license plate reader, it alerted police of a suspect vehicle entering the airport. And they were able to get three occupants. They're still looking for the rest, but yeah, that's insane.

So they would just show up. And Like people's cars are gone. Their cars are just gone. This is wild. Let's see.

Let's a couple other. Oh, a man has 500 bikes for Africa refused at the port because they were deemed unfit for purpose because some of them needed repairs. Good God. They were bikes that they were going to Africa and they couldn't be, they had to be scrapped. 500.

That's insane. We have a lot more in store, including some stuff in Florida. Applied to the nation. Stick with us. The Dana Show Podcast, your fast, funny and informative news companion for those always on the move.

One of the things that fascinated me. about this last election. Uh, was, I mean, and drill it down to get in the weeds a little bit. Was the claim that oh, there are so many hunters that we're not registered to vote, and isn't that crazy? It didn't seem to be the big issue in Florida because Florida is really the blueprint for the nation and how things need to operate.

I mean, I'm just looking at the stuff that they've done in Florida. And it dawns on you, this is common sense outreach. Why are we not copying this in every? Why are we not doing this in Texas? Texas.

Why is Florida beating Texas? It's not supposed to be like that. And I bring this up because all the attention With regards to Florida, it was in amendments three and four. And that was the abortion stuff and the big weed bill, or the big weed amendment. But what didn't get a lot of attention was this victory that they had, a constitutional amendment that protects hunting and fishing.

And I think this is like the 20th some odd state in the union that actually has made this a constitutionally protected thing, which you would think it already is, but it's not. But good on Florida for making this happen. But what gets me going back to my point. is I was looking at how they did their outreach. 4.5 million text messages.

500,000 mail pieces. They sent it out to sportsmen and to women, to hunters, to anglers, to everybody, people who had not even voted before. Think about. How much, and that was for Amendment 2, the turnout that they were able to generate through that. And just they really siloed it in, and they got that turnout, and now it's protected.

And it went over that 60% threshold, where the other amendments did not even near it. One of the people who was spearheading this, this huge victory, is Luke Hilligaman. And he is with the International Order of Teddy Roosevelt. And you can find them on, I almost said Twitter, on X at IOTR official. I'm going to not call it Twitter at some point.

Luke Hilgeman joins us now via Skype. Luke, congratulations. This is a huge victory. And it didn't get a lot of attention. But what it amazed, you guys did such great outreach with this, where everyone else seemed to like struggle to get hunters and anglers to register to vote.

Yeah, Dana, thank you so much for having me on, and you hit it spot on. The right to fish and hunt is now forever protected in Florida as the 24th state to adopt constitutional right to hunt fish. And our outreach was different. We depended on grassroots leaders, folks from all Florida, folks from multiple different groups that were out there with us. fighting the good word about fishing and hunting being in jeopardy.

There is a radical movement out there that was trying to criminalize hunting and fishing in states like Oregon. Colorado and multiple other Western states. And what we did in Florida not only surpassed the vote totals for abortion in weed by nearly a million votes. It also surpassed the amount of votes that Donald Trump was able to receive in a historic victory in Florida by 935. Yeah.

That's huge. That is, and one of the reasons that you were so successful. And this is something from the memo that you had sent out. Your organization was how you were strategizing the manner and tone of your messaging. Tell me about that.

Yeah, so when we went to the field, we we found out very quickly That Talking to people about fishing and hunting as being a humane and natural way to manage Florida's wildlife saw a huge spike in the amount of support that we had, even for people who don't fish and hunt. And we stayed disciplined to that message. We built an influencer network of people, more than 60 influencers in the state of Florida, with a combined reach of over 35 million people who shared that messaging, shared our messages out there with their followers. And then we did over 300 grassroots events. targeting not just anglers and hunters, but citizens all across the state.

talking to them about the threats to fishing and hunting and why this was such an important part. Of Florida's identity and locking these traditions down forever in Florida. And I think the biggest political part of it, Dana. Was that we found 1.7 million hunters and anglers in the state of Florida who are low propensity voters? who weren't even registered to vote.

We had a half a million of them who weren't registered to vote. We were able to register 25,000 new voters and turn out a significant number of those 1.7 million low-propensity voters who put us way over the top of the 60% threshold. That's amazing. This is one of the most successful voter outreaches and victories that I've ever heard. Because, from what I understand, just like the support and the votes.

For this, just beat any other kind of proposal, any other amendment like this before. I mean, it really set a record. Absolutely did. And we had more people join us to defend fishing and hunting rights. In the state of Florida, nearly seven million people voted yes on Amendment two, which means that it was a historic vote where we had more people voting on this amendment than any other state that passed it before.

I read that the amendment had majority support in all 67 counties. That's insane. I've never seen so many people agree on something like that so much in my life. Yeah. Yeah, we were blessed.

Again, we had an incredible team of people who were dedicated to protecting hunting and fishing rights across the state that were working tirelessly to make sure that this victory happened. And the best part now is IOTR. To take this blueprint to the rest of the 26 states that don't have these protections. And try to get them on the ballot as soon as we can. That's amazing that 26 states do not have these protections.

That kind of floors me because when I was reading that it was the 24th state, I'm like, wait a minute, this isn't all 50? This is really shocking to me. You also added 25,000 new registrations of these are younger men, men under the age of 25. It's amazing because they don't vote and they were they registered and they voted. That this demo never votes, and they voted for you.

You got them to vote. Absolutely. You put fishing and hunting on the ballot. You educate them about the threats to what they love to do. And these guys are going to show up at the polls and they are going to vote to protect those rights forever like we saw in Florida.

And while they're there, I think they're going to also cast ballots for conservatives who protect these these traditions across the board. And I'm really excited to tell the story about what we achieved in Florida and look forward to rolling this out to multiple states here in the next couple of years. I can't wait to see you do that also. I have to note that the margin of victory that you had and your outreach with this up until everyone always talked about the blueprint in Colorado when they had progressives come in and they were anti-gun, anti-hunting, anti-everything. And in two election cycles, they were able to flip everything.

You didn't need two election cycles. You actually, and I was comparing like their outreach to the outreach that was taking place with these amendments in this last election. I mean, it's not even comparable. I mean, you just, you beat them to death rhetorically. I mean, you smoked them.

The margins are, it's not even there. That to me is, so now we can stop talking about the Colorado blueprint and we can just only talk about the Florida blueprint because this is the only one that has consecutively worked in every single election. Amen. Amen. And what we saw is $400 million was spent on behalf of amendments three and four, as you mentioned in the early part of the interview.

They had $400 million spent to try and pass abortion and weed in Florida. We did this with about $8 million and just really doubled down on the grassroots strategy and connecting people with the information about why these traditions are so important to the future of the state and the future of our country. I love this.

Well, this is a huge success. And it kind of got lost in all the three amendments three and four, which, you know, I get and they were very important things to talk about. But this is also hugely significant. And what's even more is that the younger generation that never shows up. You got them to show up and vote.

You got them registered to vote. You got them to show up to vote. You got the low propensity voters to go and vote. I mean, these are historically demos that you can never count on. And not only could you count on them, but you're going to be able to count on them in future elections and you're going to be able to expand on these victories.

This is huge. Luke Halligan, this is huge. I mean, congratulations on this because I don't know. I just haven't seen a victory by this margin. And it's good to win.

It's good to have some wins. It feels great to do that. And again, we look forward to taking this and passing it as many states as we can very soon. Absolutely. Luke, thank you so much.

International Order of Teddy Roosevelt or T. Roosevelt, IOTR. Appreciate you. Happy Thanksgiving. Thank you very much.

Happy Thanksgiving, Dana. Of course. Yeah, this is amazing. And I talked to you all about the Colorado blueprint before and how the left was always so. They I mean, they they literally wrote a book about it.

They bragged about it. They wrote a book about it. They went and they did the Sunday morning talk show circuits and all that stuff. And they had sixty three straight sixty three years of Republican governance And in two election cycles, it flipped. To blue, and they started going after guns and hunting and everything else.

And it just became unbearable. And they tried to, you had a huge. Coalition of Republicans, conservatives, and libertarians, very grassroots. And it was, I think, as in Glendale, Colorado. That's where it kind of all seemed to coalesce and they were organizing to push back.

And they got some things. Like they recalled their the Senate pro tem and they got a couple of other state lawmakers out, but they weren't able to do every because it was Almost too little too late. But they are still fighting there. And the left bragged about that. And then they said, oh, well, we were able to do this to Colorado.

We're going to do the same thing to Texas. They weren't able to flip Texas, but they have made it difficult. But they weren't able to flip Texas. And in Florida, The opposite happened. And they did it in one election cycle by margins greater than that.

than what we saw with the Colorado blueprint.

So this is the way forward. Did you hear the difference in money? What was it, 400? Yeah. Wow.

What is with?

Okay. The left burning money and losing elections. Harris is twenty million in debt. She she blew a billion dollars. I mean, paying off celebrities, you know, I get it.

This is wild. I mean, I'm telling you, I just find it's just wild. But this, um, This is huge and also Florida's expanded. Supermajority? as being called possibly unprecedented.

They already had a supermajority. They've expanded it.

Now Not every person that has an R after their name is a good lawmaker, as we know. We've seen that before, especially after we were debating everything with the Senate majority race, right? The Senate majority leader. But to have a supermajority There are going to be, there's going to be a little bit more of a protection. For the lawmakers that are Republican, that are from real purple areas, like the ones that have not wanted to be open-minded, for instance, about permitless carry in Florida.

or reciprocity or something like that. Uh that that I've always kind of dragged it. That's been maybe, maybe that'll change. Maybe. I know with the red flag law, somebody's going to have to bring a lawsuit.

In order to flip some of that, that's going to have to be litigated. But man, this is huge, though, to expand that.

Now you got to get good quality conservatives in those state seats. We have a lot more on the way. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. I feel like this goes into a headspace with regards to like super serious gaming that I ever wanted to go into.

So, I just really quickly, there's this story. Where This one gamer whose Kane, you're going to love his name, Moist Critical. Oh, yeah, it's Charlie. I know Charlie. Yeah, claims that.

He was in this case, Billy Mitchell versus Carl Jobs. And he They actually had him passing gas on camera. used as evidence. in this court case. What?

For real. He testified against this guy named Billy Mitchell in an ongoing court case, and it included footage of him. Blowing his own horn, so to speak, on camera uses evidence. And the yeah, they I c okay, uh Yeah. We can't play any of the video where he talks about it because of the way he talks about it.

But It's a suit that is, they're arguing over $450,000 in damages because the. The it was a suit raised by Mitchell who said that Jops' YouTube videos about him cheating at Donkey Kong were defamation. A grown man made a video about another grown man cheating at Donkey Kong. And now it's a $450,000 Defamation case, and another gamer had his own farts used in court as evidence. Not even making this up.

That is, there you go.

Now, if you think that your family... What you got to deal with at Thanksgiving is bad. You could be that one of these guys could be it. I'm just saying, you know. Yeah.

Uh a Florida man is wanted for stealing money from a tip jar because he's a loser. from a Florida establishment. It's a guy who stole money from a tip jar at a Fort Myers establishment. He literally, I mean, grabbed it on camera, $600, and left. He just took $600 and left.

White t-shirt, white cap, blue shorts, blue shoes. He's got identifiable tattoos. They're still looking for him. You're supposed to call Crime Stoppers. I On camera, like nobody cared.

Do you think people care that they're surveillance cameras or they're so ubiquitous that people just don't care anymore? Is that why? I think it's more they don't care anymore. I mean, I don't know. It just Okay.

Ah, let's see here. I got a call.

So, this guy, a Florida man, is busted because he tried to run over kids waiting for the school bus. No. Another, I don't know. They said it was a bizarre and harrowing scene, said deputies. Lake County, Florida, a man was arrested Friday morning.

The Lake County Sheriff's Office says it was a bizarre and harrowing scene at a school bus stop. They tried to run over kids at a bus stop in an area of Mill Street. The man then allegedly went to a nearby location where he had grabbed and attacked a female teen as she walked to her bus stop. 59-year-old Arthur James Young was finally apprehended. And the moms, all the parents were just in hysterics.

One of the women, Vivian Little, said her son, Nakeem called and said that somebody just tried to run him over. He's a crazy dude. He's just trying to run everybody over and chasing everybody.

So they were all running for their lives. This poor kid's like crying on the phone to his mom. Like, this is coming out. Can you imagine?

So then he was in a black Dodge Ram pickup. And he actually grabbed one girl and tried to choke her. And so they said that the police responded. There was a concealed carry permit holder, apparently, who fired a gunshot to try to stop the attack, fired around to try to stop it. Just wild.

This is just so he's being charged with aggravated assault, child abuse, kidnapping, and several other charges. I need a break after that story. Good night. He's like slapping and choking everybody. I'm reading ahead on the story.

It says here that the sheriffs say they've had interactions with him before, and apparently the mom. has known him For a long time. That was like.

Some information to hide in the story where you're at the end. Yeah. Um, I really want to read this story, but I just don't know. It's about a Florida inmate, Kane. Oh.

I know which one we're talking about. Um So Well, we only have about thirty seconds here.

Okay, 29-year-old Daisy Link, uh, and this other. I don't know who this guy, Joan DePaz. They were inmates at Turner Guilford Night Correctional Center. And apparently, they're facing murder charges. Essentially, the Florida inmate is pregnant.

She says she's a miracle baby. Yeah. And she says that The conception happened through an air vent from a fellow prisoner. And I'm going to leave it there. We're just gonna be done with Florida Man right now.

Third hour on the way. Thank heavens. Thank Not only am I not interested in your opinion, I'm not even going to call you by your name. You're 23 years old. I don't really give a what you think.

Dang. And let me tell you another huge error. Huge narrative. Campaigns need to reflect progressive values. No, they don't.

James Carville. Maybe some of those young staffers should listen to him. He's a hoot, dude. He is one of the funniest people. He was also, when I was the token conservative at CNN.

Like back in 2012, he was the nicest person. person there. He was so nice and so kind. He and his wife were wonderful. I know, you probably wouldn't think, but he is.

He is. He just doesn't like these dumb staffers that go in and they want to act like they know more than he does about this stuff. Carville actually used to win elections.

Now they don't anymore.

Now these people don't anymore. We'll go back to the program. Dana Lash with you, top of this third hour. Oh my goodness! Make sure to catch us on the chats at Rumble.

You can find us on X as well, terrestrially across the country, Channel 347 Direct TV.

So Yeah, I'm just it it's Pretty They need to listen to him, but he's mad. He's just done. I made mention earlier about the pendulum, maybe perhaps swinging the other way. I wanted to play Audio Soundbite 9 for you because this is the CEO of Walmart. They are Rolling back.

Their DEI policies, believe it or not. And they're just the latest U.S. company. to do this. Listen to this.

First, let me say, like many companies all across the United States, we've been on a journey and we continue to be on a journey. And what we're trying to do is to ensure that every customer, every associate feels welcome here to shop and to feel like they belong. And that term belong, we've been talking about belonging now for almost two years, early 2023. We started talking about belonging. And we're going to continue to make the best decisions we can that makes everyone, our customers, our associates, feel like this is an environment they can shop in.

This is me as CEO. Uh, I don't give a rat's ass about belonging, just buy our stuff. And scene. That's it. That's that's the quote.

That's it. You sell things. You don't have to affirm anything for anyone. Can you imagine someone to go into a Walmart? And looking at the products, I don't know.

I'm looking at these bags of dog and cat food, and I just don't know if they affirm how I choose to get it out in my private life. I just don't know. I just don't feel like it's affirming me. Because it's a product. It's a product.

It doesn't have to affirm you, Cynthia. It does not have to affirm anything. You're making a purchase. That's it. I hate this.

They said that some of the they've removed some product like chest binders The for kids? I can't even believe that was the thing that they had or had to take out. They're not going to extend the racial equity center, which I don't even know what that is. And it launched in 2020. They're going to ditch the terms in Kane and Juan, who are basically white adjacent.

Uh they've they hate these terms. Like they bristle if you say Latinx. They don't even want the fray the letters D and E and I at all together. No more. And they're going to fercu focus on the term belonging.

Why do you have to focus on any term? Why? I feel like, you know, Elmo, when he gets real excited, or Kermit the Frog, when he's dancing for Christmas and he just gets really excited. I feel like that. Why does there have to be any term?

Wait, why do you have to k who did this? I mean, I get it, they're getting away from it, but Do you have to give someone the crutch of a term? Right? You see what I mean? Why do you have to have a belonging?

What? What's about belonging? You know who belongs here? Anyone who's got money to buy your products. What?

What belonging? What? That's how that works. I didn't know that, did you? Uh why are you here at the Walmart?

That's what the Walmart greeter should ask. Excuse me, why are you here? Uh, I might buy some of your stuff.

Okay, you belong. Right? That's how that works. So what gets me is so now they have John Deere Ford, other companies, The Caterpillar Company? Mm-hmm.

Caterpillar. Mm-hmm. What do the Caterpillar people do? Again? The heavy construction equipment.

Oh, heavy ex construction equipment, yeah. Yeah. Um, why do they have to have DEI stuff? That is a great question. I think we know the answer is they don't.

They don't need it. I mean, who was like, well, let's see, we uh here at Caterpillar. We make uh big heavy construction equipment. Uh we got to start using these phrases, Latinx, and uh start doing all this stuff. What?

I feel like if you're focusing on that, then you're not focusing on making your stuff.

So they're doing DEI changes. They're requiring that all corporate training be oriented to focus on business operations because it wasn't before. What? That's amazing to me. Yeah, so they They've uh They're bringing in an external speaker to talk to the Caterpillar employees, the Caterpillar people.

And now they gotta have approval from senior VPs who make sure speakers are vetted, etc. etc. They must have had some humdingers before if they got to go through all that. I just, it's amazing to me that everything. Like Coors and Ford?

They ended their participation in the, and this is a long one, Human Rights Campaign Corporate Equality Index. What is that, Dana? What is the Human Rights Campaign Corporate Equality Index?

Well, that is the annual survey and report used to measure quote policies, practices and benefits pertinent to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, LBGTQ plus employees. I don't even know what any of that means. All I heard was blah blah blah. That's all I heard. Actually, I heard I understood myself just then better than I did with this.

Yeah. Yeah, the uh I guess that they that's like the behavioral thing. Have you seen that with uh They have their criteria. It's a roadmap and benchmarking tool for businesses. And I guess they give you a score.

You get points. inclusive benefits, things like that. Apparently, you get alphabet benefits. I don't even know what that means. What alphabet benef benefits do you get?

Support an inclusive culture. Twenty five points possible. What about shutting up and not being annoying? How many points do you get for that? Wondering corporate social responsibility.

This kind of goes on to, you know, the stuff that we talked about? Like, why is it that out of all of the charging stations that we had how much was it? Seven billion, something like that? allocated to spend on it and we only got two of them built. And that's because they and this is a true thing.

You had to give your the government could only consider contracts from businesses that I guess had one of these like a specific score. And they checked all of these identity politic boxes.

So, well, if you're like a regular lesbian, And you are up against a one-armed lesbian, then guess what? The one-armed lesbian is gonna get the contract, and you're not. If you're a lesbian and you're up against a dude who says that he's a woman, guess what? The lesbian loses. It's the dude who says he's a woman.

Why? Because he checks a bigger identity politic box than you do. See? Like that, that's the stuff. And then you had to have like translators and have all this stuff in your business that had nothing to do with your business.

You're literally building a charging station. Why do you have to put on like community events? You're a company that builds charging stations. Companies don't need to put on community. You need to demonstrate your social responsibility.

You need to STFU. No. This is so dumb. Golly, belonging. How many times did he say that word in that clip?

There's a few. Yeah, three times? Yeah, there's a few times. I mean, it was almost like a call to action. Right?

Good night. I don't know. But so you got General Motors, um. Or no, Ford, that's the other one that they're dropping out. Ooh, speaking of car companies, so the New York Times is claiming that automakers want Trump to keep EV mandates.

But, apparently that's not true. New York Times were in the story saying, oh, yes, they're having a coordinated lobbying push to convince POTUS. POTUS ELECT. To maintain all these climate rules, forcing these EV purchases. But apparently, that's not exactly true, according to the Free Beacon.

Because stellantis Said that, yeah, we're not pushing for any of this stuff. They completely contradicted the New York Times report. They said, and the New York Times said that Stellantis was actually going to lobby the Trump administration to keep these mandates. And Stellantis said that's a lie. Stellantis told Free Beacon, we absolutely are not doing that.

That is a lie. They said we are not amongst the lobbyists and all these people from these car companies, if there is one, that's pushing for this. No one's buying the damn things. If you want an E V you know to fart around with, fine, nobody cares. But don't force all of us to get E Vs.

They're ugly cars. They're ugly, ugly, ugly. Golly, they're so ugly. It kills my soul. Oh my gosh.

I see them. And it's like Everything about modernity that I hate.

Soulless design. They all look like Those Eva bots from Wally, they all look like that. They all look the same, right? It's some Stephered wife stuff. Everybody's got their Stepford Live EV.

It's one of the reasons why I like Oddly enough, the Cybertruck, because it's a giant middle finger, it's literally shaped like a child's imagination, and it's brutalist. And it's kind of ugly and completely ridiculous. And is it aerodynamic? I think there's questions. But It's so ridiculous.

It actually mocks modernity in a way. Doesn't it? At least that's my interpretation of it, right? It goes a lot deeper than a banana duct tape to a wall. Just same.

Nobody's buying these cars though. And I just I Whenever I would have to get, if I had to take my car to the shop and I would have to get, they always try to give you an EV. Oh man, and I'm a brat. They know when I'm coming through the door, like, oh my gosh, do not give this woman an EV loaner because she hates them and she will complain. For every second that she's in this office.

Oh my gosh. 'Cause I can't stand them. I can't. It's weird, Kane. I mm.

I'm just saying. I don't care. I don't really care about any of this stuff. All oil and gas is renewable. It's renewable and it's great.

It's it's a great plentiful affordable energy in the United States without the the uh Convincing of federal mandates. We've already been coming up and pioneering clean, environmentally, more environmentally respectful extraction methods before anybody else ever did, before anybody in government thought of it. We were already doing it. You know why? Because we like to maintain the business, right?

You know that if you're just damaging the earth and you're not taking care of stuff and you're just, you know, sloppy extraction, all this stuff, you're not going to have much to work with in the future. And so it's all about. you know prolonging And it's about making sure that you have an industry, you're not just destroying everything to the point where you can't have one anymore. They did that. They didn't have to have the government pressure them to do that.

The government comes in and acts like it's scored something. Oh, look, we're going to pressure these people to do exactly what they're already doing.

Well, I mean, some of the stuff actually makes it to where your cars are more fuel inefficient. Which is a whole other issue. But nobody wants to want people aren't one of these EVs. Still ain't just like, we ain't lobbying for nothing, we're not doing nothing. And now, all of the news you would probably miss.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Chinese Pizza Hut launches deep-fried frog pizza. I could go my whole life without destroying. It's there. It's China's Pizza Hut franchise.

They're literally serving deep-fried frogs on their pizzas. The um And there's also photos of it. I don't want to look at it. Oh, no. They said it's for a limited time.

It's just a specialized pizza. And it has a red sauce base, parsley, and a whole-fried bullfrog on top. And then two halves of hard-boiled egg with black olives appear as the eyes of the frog. That's absolutely nasty. That's so gross.

That's so nasty.

So, yeah, that's. Look, I like frog legs. Don't get me wrong. I think frog legs are good. But I don't like that, and then you put eggs in the office.

Put a whole bull frog on my pizza. No. No, that's okay. A South Carolina town's entire police force has resigned. They're looking at uh it's the It's PD Town's entire police force.

No. PDFPD? Yeah, the the PDPD. The entire, all the PDPDs, they resigned. The police chief Bob Hale broke his silence on Thursday saying he was resigning after a year of taking over.

They said the town councils created a hostile work environment. They made significant cuts to their funding. They're having trouble doing their jobs because they can't get resources. And they said that, like, one guy was on his way to a call. And uh, his uh and he said his car just stopped, broke down, and it doesn't work anymore.

and they're not, they have no resources. And they've wow, just...

Okay, it's the PDPD, you know, take care of them. How the happiest people spend their weekends, they treat them like vacations. You've got to learn how to, and this is one of the reasons why you don't really see me that often on social media over the weekend. I make a conscious effort to choose not to do it. Because you don't want to get burned out, right?

Nobody wants to get burned out, especially if you do it, you know, every day and you've done it every day for 20 years.

Alright. That and that's It is true. Like to treat your weekends. As much as you can, like have a vacation mindset on the weekend or on your days off. Have a vacation mindset.

Do not do work. Usually, everyone likes to brush through all this task that they have. Through the week to get done, and they do on the weekend. I think you need to actually partition those out all throughout the week so that your whole day off isn't that. Because I think it is incredibly important, it is.

Uh let's see this a guy A guy was charged with stealing a shopping cart of Red Bull leading O'Fallon Kane police on a 100 money mile per hour, 120 mile per hour pursuit. Red Bull gives you wings, but not a pass. That's the difference. Stick with us. We got more in store.

Most people, if they had shot and killed a woman, they'd probably, I don't know, maybe go to ground for a little while. maybe forever, not run their mouths above stuff. But if you're Alec Baldwin, Audio Soundbite 8, Instead, You're going to do this.

Uh you might not learn from the news. Television news in the United States is a business. They have to make money. And again, not to go into great detail about that, but there's a hole, there's a vacuum. There is a gap, if you will, in information for Americans.

Americans are very uninformed about reality, what's really going on.

So we're uninformed about reality. What does that mean? He's in uh Turin, Italy. And Or Turin, and he's saying that Americans are uninformed. We're stupid about reality.

What is he talking about? What do you mean, what reality? We all got some questions. We got some questions. What is he talking about?

I can guess. How about the election of Trump? I mean, he can be mad about it, but that doesn't mean that people are uneducated because they can't do that. But he clearly believes what he's saying. I mean, you would, he hasn't changed, and shooting and killing that woman.

on the set of his film Rust, of which he was executive producer and also culpable. Um That He hasn't changed. He's still a hothead. He still has a bad temper. He's still completely irrational.

Reckless. Nothing's changed with him. at all whatsoever. It's just like I can't stand these these celebrities that are like this. Um Like, for instance, audio sound about 11.

I don't normally. Play anything from the view, but there's this. Eyes rolling. I think what we're all saying is we're going to sit and watch. We're going to wait and see because we can't do anything else except.

I'm not going to wait and see. I mean, this guy's going to be a little bit more. What are you going to do? What are you doing? Like, there's nothing to be done until you know what you're fighting.

It's pissing in the wind doesn't help. You just get away from it. What I'm saying is, I have no false expectations that at 78, he's going to all of a sudden. Turn done into anything and everything. And I'm not going to fire.

I love the Nappo baby on the corner that likes to pretend that she wasn't a big butt kisser for a White House role. And she never, her dad does WorldNet Daily. She would never be on that show if her dad did not do WorldNet Daily and wasn't like a digital publisher. I mean, absolute nepo baby. And the only reason she really tries to obscure her history in butt kissing to get a job in the last administration.

This is the difference between loyalty and submission. Oh, she'll submit, but she's not. You know, sh there's no loyalty. She'll submit, but there's no loyal. And then she turns around and goes on the view and does what she does.

So, I don't know. I I Do they do anything? What do they also do on that show? Why do people watch that show? I've never understood it.

I've guest hosted it. I've never understood. My favorite was when. And I Barbara Walters was still alive, so it was a bit ago. And I was Ginny McCarthy, I was on with her.

I sat right next to her and she was amazing. She was very supportive of and encouraging. She didn't hang out with the other women either. I got the sense that they didn't like her. Like she gets you know, they people give her a bad rep 'cause of her MTV days or whatever, but she was actually the nicest and most common sense person that was on that show.

She legit was. And she was super kind. But Barbara Walters was like, So tell me, do you like shooting guns? And they're playing behind me on the big screen, me literally shooting every gun I own.

Well, most of them. Like a rifle's pistol, everything. And I'm like, yeah, I guess a little bit. You know, like, hello, me, me, me. Yeah.

What kind of question is that? Uh but you know It was interesting. I pushed back. I was very polite, but I pushed back when I needed to. They just could not.

Understand me. And when I said, oh, the more when did you when they when they asked me, well, when did you actually become more conservative? And I said, oh, the more educated I got. Oh my gosh, the whole audience gasped. And the women there went, Oh, oh What?

And I could tell they were going to go, do you mean that we're stupid? And I was like, well, I just think we're on different intellectual tracks. What? They were trying to figure out if I was insulting them. I was, but I was doing it in a nice way.

But it it was just, I don't know. I don't know what and the issue is like they who watches the television shows that they have the actors on to talk about? The only thing I watch is if Taylor Sheridan makes it. Or if it's about baking or history, and that's it. I don't really watch anything else.

I don't even watch Hallmark Christmas stuff anymore, really. I do enjoy looking at all the new titles because they're all the same, right? Have you guys started your Hallmark Christmas stuff? Have you played any Christmas music, Hane?

So that's the thing.

So when we roll back here After Thanksgiving, do we immediately start with the Christmas music? Should I have my trees in the background? Do we go full-on happy birthday, Jesus, immediately? Like, what do we do? There are stations across the country that started right after Halloween.

playing Christmas music. No one does the 12 days of Christmas anymore. Why? You mean the song or like the practice. I don't know what's the 12 days of Christmas.

Well, 12 days of Christmas you celebrate, and that's like your holiday period. And it's from the birth, and then after you're celebrating the birth. We just celebrate up till the moment of the birth, and then we're like, okay, we're done.

Okay. You see what I mean? Yeah, I hear you. Why can't we go back to that? I mean, with more celebration.

More days of celebration.

Okay, twisted. Yeah, 12.

Well, I mean, just be a little bit more realistic about the lead up. You know what I mean? Like I'm s I don't need to be seeing the Christmas trees out in September. Is each day like a small gift, like Hanukkah? Like how does it work?

Like every day's a small gift? Yeah, like that's why they had the t the the 12 days of Christmas song. Are there any dreidels?

Well, I mean, that's a. I mean, I guess if you want to be, there can be. But that's, you know, driddle, driddle, driddle. I remember those Advent calendars, though. I remember as a kid.

Yeah. But it It it should be. I mean, that's how it was. I mean, there used to actually be. 12 days of Christmas, but now you've had holiday creep, right?

So it used to be all like, you know, in some time in December you'll do it. And then now and I think that had to do with art with fake trees and then artificial trees looking really nice and going on at the market. And so people didn't have to go get real trees anymore because didn't it seem like your Christmas stuff was limited to how long your tree would live? Yeah. Yeah.

So now you got artificial trees. It doesn't matter, right? Doesn't matter. But that it's the birth of Christ and then the coming of the Magi. And that's the three wise men.

So that's the 12 days of Christmas.

So it starts with the birth of Christ, and it's supposed to end with the coming of the Magi. And the um And it it tr begins on the twenty fifth and it's supposed to run up until What the s the six and then you've got The four weeks preceding Christmas, that's Advent.

Some of it, I think, is brushed off as Catholicism, but that's not how it was always. It wasn't always like that. I mean, even during, you know, Henry VIII's time and he was all of this. I mean, they So I don't know. The j I just like the idea of twelve days of Yeah, mixed.

Yeah. 'Cause you're you lead up to oh, she had her baby. All right, we're right, we're done. Is it like ham every day or every other day's turkey or? Sure.

And then you would have uh I don't know if you get the Lords of the Leaping and Ladies Dancing and all that stuff, but that's how it went traditionally. Anyway, my whole point of bringing this up is. I haven't really put we have we have our lights up. But we haven't really put anything else. Ah, but that's going to change.

That's going to start changing beginning this week. Immediately Because the Christmas stuff has got to go up. I'm just ready. I think everybody's ready. It was a really weird political cycle.

Everybody's ready for it. But uh the Hallmark stuff, I'm telling ya. It's the person who owns a snow globe factory, and she comes the Girl comes in from out of town and she meets the snow club factory owner, and he's a really nice guy. And do sparks fly? I don't know.

Watch this Christmas movie. And these people have like completely ridiculous jobs. I literally watched one where the dad, I'm not, I swear to you, hands this guy, the dude carved toys. He was like a literal wood carver of toys. And he had this big two-story craftsman-style house in the Northeast.

I'm like, dude, you would not have that kind of thing, you're not making that salary carving, hand-carving toys. and it's just you and your little workshop. Shut up. It looks like someone went and staged it as part of a Santa's elf village for photo ops for families near the Pet Smart. Stop it.

And yeah, she assumes her dad's workshop and the house and all this. And I'm to believe that. I'm to believe that, right? No, that will not abide. All right, we've got some other serious stuff here, too.

I'm sorry. I don't mean to spend so much time on all of that, but you know. We also get some of this audio out of the way. Uh although Steve says they should make a Hallmark movie about the villages. The village.

What would they call that? America's friendliest hometown. They would call that not all old people are innocent. That's what they would call it. I know you think that old people aren't innocent.

We're not here to talk about that. Oh my gosh. I audio sound let gosh, what do I want to do? It's like I want to end the show on a happy note, and I don't want to be like, now back to hell. Here's Audio Soundbite 4, where Venezuelan gang members are recruiting kids in illegal alien shelters.

Let's go ahead and actually play it.

Well, growing concern over among the NYPD over Venezuelan gang activity across the city, police believe some gang members are recruiting children living in migrant shelters. As Jennifer Bisrim reports, the gang has blended in with asylum seekers who began arriving here in 2022. It's kind of funny how you don't know when you're not demanding people's documents and all this other stuff. It's kind of crazy how you don't know who's the gang member and who's like the innocent.

Well, I mean, nobody's innocent if you're breaking into the country and entering illegally, but. Just saying, you know, w what Is that that's shocking to people? They're reporting this like this is new and shocking. It's not new, but it's shocking that you think it is. This is what people have been telling, talking about this whole time.

And anytime they brought it up, you called them like. Bigots and Xenophobes and everything else. And it's been going on this whole time. Kane, you're dying. What?

What? It's just weird that they.

So they insist on not just background checks because we have background checks to buy. Firearms here, but they want universal background checks for actual American citizens who are law-abiding, but for they don't care about background checks of people they don't know from other countries coming here illegally. Yeah, apparently not. What? Not uh happening.

That's uh correct, sir. Yes, uh It doesn't make any sense at all. It's not supposed to. Subscribe to the Dana Show podcast. Because who says you can't make fun of people while staying informed on your own personal time?

Nay, I don't think there is. Really don't. Welcome back to the program. This is how I would have come into Thanksgiving, by the way. Just start, you know, kicking that solo.

and then immediately just start ripping apart the turkey, right? Oh here it comes. The whole band is getting ready for it and it's gonna go crazy. Telling you what? This is the way to do it.

Way to do it You know, the holidays used to be a lot more relaxed, and nothing used to not all be. Everybody would stress out over politics and all that stuff. I think that, like, the greatest generation had no patience for that. My grandparents did not allow that. You're going to get hit by a wooden spoon.

If you start acting up, if you start making a fuss. as my grandmother would say, if you start if you're starting to make a fuss, if you're fixing a fuss, You're gonna get slapped with the wooden spin. A woman did not play. I've seen many a people hit in her kitchen with wooden spoons. And uh her this is feel like they just now It's like everybody's got a preen, like, here's my political beliefs, and I hope we can get along this whole, if you can get along if you want to get along.

I also think it's a creation of media. Media creates it as a way to further just haunt you, even when you try to get away from 'em.

So, some of the things that we've touched on: so, Israel and Hezbollah, they've got a ceasefire now. Uh Netanyahu already announced it. And apparently Biden's going to be I guess he's going to be speaking on it here shortly. But uh it is the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah. And uh then they're gonna start uh kind of peeling back.

their respective forces. And uh That's so that'll be and that's of course in southern Lebanon, northern Israel. And so we have this. We also have MSNBC says that it was unaware of Harris's campaign contributions. to Al Sharpton's nonprofit, but they won't say whether or not they're taking action.

Really? Oh, they were unaware that they he got a hundred uh he got a half a million dollars. before she did a softball interview with him. Half a million dollars. How much did she give to Oprah?

She gave it to Harpo, but it was to Oprah. Yeah. Mm-mm. And then, let's see, we got the transgender bathroom thing situated. I think Nancy Mace can stop talking about the transgender bathroom stuff now.

Kane's like, yeah. I mean, I get that she's. wanting attention and wants to seem like she's like being very rebellious, but They already solved the issue. They came out with the rule and they're like, it's done. And she's still like.

Okay, we get it. You realize there's some other serious stuff happening in the House that could also use your attention. If you want to act up over some, act up over some of these other pieces of legislation. That was solved by a simple rule change. That's all they did.

And one and done.

Now, let's look at some of this other stuff that's in the House right now. There's some important legislation there. Let's maybe get on get on some of that. I don't know. I get a little try too hard.

from that one. Does that mean to say, yo, you all are thinking it? Stop it. Y'all are thinking it. It's a little try too hard.

I'm just, you know. Just I I kinda get that I get that impression.

So anyway, that's, you know And then of course uh The couple other things. Let's see. We've got uh we were talking about the DEI, Walmart rolling that back. Very good. Oh, and then care.

Guys remember care. The Council on American Islamic Relations. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They were once linked to Hamas. They have to reveal their donors.

They're being forced to reveal where they get their money from because an ex-employee blew the whistle. and set up they're accepting foreign they're accepting foreign funding. And they have to. This is what happens in defamation suits.

So, care. This was after a defamation suit it filed against a former employee to shut them up. It backfired.

So see when you file When you're filing a defamation suit, you're opened up to discovery.

So now they have to reveal all their sources of funding. They thought they would file a defamation suit against this former employee, and now they've.

Now they've got to open up their books, and now you've got to find out where all their. I'm sure we're going to be surprised. I'm sure it's nothing that we've ever suspected. Right, Kane? Probably going to be total things that we just, we are going to be shocked, I'm sure.

Said nobody ever. All right, today's stupidity can.

Alright, Juan, this is cut two. Dan Goldman is a Democrat, so typically I don't really have to say much more than that for you to get a gauge as to where he is intellectually. Cut two is Dan Goldman offering the only possible explanation. For this particular action, listen to this. I think it is a shame for justice in this country.

It establishes that Donald Trump is above the law. The Supreme Court put him above the law in that opinion that Paula just mentioned. But now he appears to escape full accountability for what were crimes charged by them not getting their drummed-up charges any validity. Is now Trump being above the law, right?

So, this is what the left will tell you. Maybe even at Thanksgiving dinner, don't fall for it. Don't fall for it. Don't fall for it. Folks, I hope you have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving.

We are grateful for all of you and that we get to join you every single day and hang out. God bless. I will be back on your next Monday.
