Hegseth vs. Dems, SCOTUS vs. Trans, & Adams vs. Biden

back and and google Uh Hillary Clinton And Barack Obama. Google what they said about those who commit crimes in our city and what they said in our country. They said those who commit crimes need to get out right away. That was their position.

So this is not a new position, you know, because in the state of. Era of cancel culture, no one's afraid to be honest about the truth.

Well, cancel me. Because I'm going to protect the people of the city. And if you come into this country and this city and think you're going to harm innocent New Yorkers and innocent migrants and asylum seekers, this is not the mayor you want to be in the city under.

Well I think this is I was talking a little bit about this last night, and I think that This is going to be kind of a turning point. For Democrats, where it concerns policy and then practicality, like our policy and ideology, rather. Because You know with this remarks that he gave He's saying well fine, cancel me then. It's quite different from everything that we've seen. As it pertains to talk about bathrooms and all this other stuff.

And Democrats kind of allowed this whole issue of immigration to get away from them. And so as a result, You know, that's one of the reasons that they were rejected so harshly during the last elections. And so, as a result now, You're saying you know some of these Local Democrats, like governors and some of these mayors and things of that nature. They're having to go out and say, Yeah, okay, we can't do this. I know the National Party says one thing.

But this is the reality of the situation? And this is, you know, we this is what we're dealing with. there's going to be an impasse between These two entities. You know, the entity of The Federal and D.C. Democrats, and then the issue of your state and local.

Because the policies that the federal Democrats that they're setting in D.C. Uh clearly, they're not going over well in any state. They're not going over well in any county. They're not going over well anywhere. It's one of the reasons why Harris didn't flip.

Like insanely. a single county during this last election. And I think that they said they keep revising it. It's like super historically insane what she her inability to flip a snake or even maintain a single county that they had won.

So there's a couple things in that? It's I mean it's that bad. This is this is how bad Democrats have foobarred this. And I don't think that they've learned. I really, I understand you don't want them to learn because then they keep losing.

But I also think that having an opposition party also keeps your party kind of honest. and keeps them in check. And so that's, I kind of look at it at that end. Welcome to the program. Dana Lash with you.

You can listen coast to coast. We're having some technical issues today, we were on a tight ship. We have a nice dedicated crew, but we've got some issues.

So we're going to get the live stream up. At some point, guess your girl's still sick.

So it's like everything. You know what it is? It's the communists, Kane. It's the communists that are doing this to us. Them damn commies.

So we're gonna, we're working on that, but right now we don't got it.

So you can listen, like the olden days, right? Pretend it's like the olden days.

So And yes, I'm still. still under the weather, but we're we're here. We're here. And uh A number of other things to touch on. The cabinet picks, there's a lot of rumblings.

One of the other things I was watching last night, and we're going to come, we're going to cover the Daniel Penny stuff. And I'm not, you know, breaking news, whatever breaking news bureau.

So we're not going to, yes, there was the healthcare executive that was shot. I think I've stayed at that Hilton before, actually. Right there on Avenue of the Americas. It's like blocks away from Fox. But we'll talk about all of that.

I mean, there's nothing else that we can provide at this point that hasn't already been discussed. But one thing that I think hasn't been discussed, and I was watching this with great interest last night, was another this discussion of Who's is SekDaf? the sec deaf uh discussion. And There seems to be This, I guess they're worried about Pete Hegseth getting through. The confirmation.

Is that what it seems to you? I mean I don't dislike him as a pick. But I f I somebody's I don't know who, but somebody's getting up somebody's getting upset. Or if it was involving my dogwig, I would say Pup Set.

Someone is getting pupset about this because apparently Uh they don't believe that he has the ability to. I guess. for whatever reason, they think he doesn't have the ability to make it through confirmation. And so that's excuse me, that's an issue that That We we have to deal with. Because one of the other names that I've seen floated Is Ron DeSantis.

So I don't know. If that's going to be something that happens or not, I'm like kind of scratching my head over it. Ron DeSantis's name has been floated quite a bit, as you know, he's a veteran. And was Uh you know, kind of I guess. frenemies with Trump.

They worked together because, you know, you got a popular Red state governor, and you're going to have a popular as well. You have a popular president, red president. His name has been Has been suggested by apparently some people in the group. I don't know, it was a New York Post story, and I've been hearing rumblings. I think that there are some in the camp.

That Don't believe that Pete Hagseth can make it and get through to the confirmation. It just doesn't seem like that's something that th they're a little worried about it. And so As a result, Now they're suggesting maybe DeSantis' name. I don't know how I feel about that though. He goes all the way up till 27.

I think that he's a solid red state governor, and I think that you have to have a solid red state governor with tons of wins. in order to counter the narrative that Democrats are preparing for 2028, regardless of, well, you know, it's going to be Gavin Newsom. Regardless, you know it's going to be newsome.

So my concern with that is who would you get in Even if it were. who who would you get in to replace who would be De S who would replace DeSantis? And then would they be a strong R Red, you know, Republican governor. And then, you know, DeSantis goes in, he's sec deaf. I mean, he'll get their conference.

I just don't know. I just don't know if that's something that he would want to do. It's just, it was an odd out of left field kind of proposition, I thought. But it's gaining some serious steam. I don't know.

But I think that there are some people in his camp that are in Trump's camp that are worried that Hugseth can't go through confirmation. And like I said, I I've only known him to be super nice. I hear all of the accusations as well, but one of the reasons why I can't take those accusations seriously is because how many times they've abused them. Think back to Kavanaugh. Hell go back farther.

I'll go back all the way to Clarence Thomas. You see what I mean? Like, I can't take any of this stuff seriously. Every single time it's a dude that the left doesn't like, it's rape, rape, rape, sexual assault. Oh, he thinks differently than me.

Rape, rape, rape, sexual assault. You know what I'm saying? I can't take it seriously.

So, even if there was any kind of serious accusation, I can't take it seriously because these people have just made it a joke. They've made serious cases Dealing with assault and rape and all this other stuff, or any kind of bad behavior, they've made a joke of it. They made a joke of it. And so every single time there's been a hearing, every single time, Any thi any fight has come up. This is what they drag out, the accusations that they drag out, every time we're so used to it now.

So I just I don't know. I just I just don't take it seriously. I can't take it seriously.

I don't take any of the accusations about Hexeth seriously. That's just kind of where we are. I mean, I don't I just don't understand why people would I don't know. I mean, we'll see how it plays out. Are they really that worried that he's not going to get through confirmation?

I'd be more worried about some of these other folks. I'd be more worried about like an RFK Jr. him getting through with the stuff that he said about Green or stuff that he said about oil and gas companies. I mean, he said some crazy ass stuff, RFK Jr. I'm not talking about the headworm and all that.

I'm talking about putting to death the people who run oil and gas. People who don't believe in climate change should be jailed. I mean, this is stuff he said with his own f actual face. His the meat around his mouth. He's vocalized this coming out of his mouth.

So I'd be more worried about that.

So I don't know what this means, you know, if if I don't know what this is for Hegseth, but I think there's a difference too between somebody being kind of a male whore and also someone being an actual sex predator. And I really need women to understand the difference here. If that is the case here, which I don't know. I just, like I said, I don't believe in any of these accusations because they've been abused so many times. I really don't.

I've seen it so many times, I just yawn anymore. Nobody takes it seriously. The left has done so much to undermine justice for women and to set women back, where you have actual accusations. Of course, they deny it when it's on their own side, whether it's a Teddy Kennedy and a Chuck, what is this, Chris Dodd and their secretary sandwiches, whether it's Bill Clinton. Whether it's uh Anthony Weiner I mean, John Edwards, I mean, for crying out loud, they've, you know, they've got a list.

I mean they got a dude who left a chick in a pond. I mean, just say nothing about the guy who got How do I say this? Close but no cigar under the executive desk. There was one. Yeah, but there was a cigar.

That's the thing. Gosh dang it, that sane doesn't really work totally.

So I don't I don't know. I can't take any of this seriously. I can't take it seriously.

So we're just we'll see. But uh as far as dissatisfaction, I don't know how I feel about that. I don't know. I mean, do I think DeSantis is capable? Of course I do.

It's just I don't know. I feel like there's like a setup too. Here's my other. I feel like there are some people who would love to keep the division going, the primary division, which by the way, nothing pisses me off more than people who have a fetish, who like just discovered politics the day that they were born, and they love driving the divide in the primary. I think those people are suspect.

I've never met anyone that does half the work that I do that drives that kind of division like that in a primary. I'm just saying. And I hope I sounded as snotty as I deserve to sound when I said that. And a lot of you out there can say similar. I think there are people out there who love driving division because they believe that there's a scarcity of opportunity, so they got a gatekeep and they don't want anyone else at the table, including other politicians, maybe who've done some good stuff in their state.

So they drive this division. And I kind of have a sneaking thought that, you know, maybe it's some of the people in that kind of faction that are trying to set up this fight with Heg Seth and DeSantis and run division out even more. It's just a thought. It wouldn't be the first time or the last time it happened. We have a lot to hit because we got some breaking news.

We're watching that Daniel Penny trial. That judge is a fiend. We're going to discuss all of that. We got some culture issues. I mean, we're going towards Christmas and it's in a post-election cycle.

Half of you are going to be drunk on eggnog by the time the week is over.

So let's be real about it, all right? Let's just be real about where we are as friends, you know, who we are, what we're doing, where we're at. I'm going to tell you, I thought I was going to have to go sit in a corner and eat my Ready Wise because I was so like under the weather. A couple of days ago, and I was like, I don't want anybody to come in here. I'm just gonna sit back here and eat my survival food.

I don't know. Like, I've actually eaten it. It's good. It's actually, I've had some really bad survival food before from other companies where I'm like, well, I guess I'll die. Because this tastes horrible.

Ready-wise, though, they actually bring in people who understand nutrition and who are studying the culinary arts to craft these survival meals, which makes sense, right? Because just because You might be in a sideways situation doesn't mean that you have to eat dirt, right? And ReadyWise is always ready, even when you're not. And they're incredibly affordable.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss, it's time for Dana's Quick Five. It's a good thing that you wouldn't miss it because we're insane and we're watching all of it.

So there's a town that got fined because. It didn't celebrate Pride Month. And if you're like, wait a minute, was this town in Canadia? Dana. I would say why yes?

It was the maple syrupians. Up to the north, the Maple Seripians. It was a rural town on the border of Ontario, Minnesota, in Canada. It was fined for refusing to celebrate Pride Month in June. Yeah, you gotta go out there and like sling the salami or something like that to celebrate.

That's what you gotta do. You gotta you gotta actually sell. I mean, how do you celebrate Pride Month? You just like physically have the sex in the streets? Like, what do you do?

No, you put up rainbows. Shut up. says god help me you cannot have me in elected office i would be arrested for assault like instantly They said that the town of Emo, of course it's called Emo, Emo, Ontario, it violated the Ontario Human Rights Code. The town has a population of 1300 people. 1300 people, 1,300 persons.

EMO did not proclaim June as a pride month, and they didn't fly the LGBTQ whatever the hell numbers. Why are there numbers now? Rainbow flag. And in addition to the 10,000 fine, the people from EMO were ordered to complete mandatory human rights training. Yeah.

Okay. What does that cost to not celebrate? We're coming back to the story. We're coming back to bookmark this because we've this, we are not even begun. Also, we had the story earlier: this United Healthcare CEO.

This dude was on his way to a conference. This was on Avenue of the Americas. I swear to you, I've stayed at this Hilton. Uh, I think I did that. I stayed at this Hilton for a book tour.

So it's right there. That's what like blows the mind. It's right there in the middle of everything. It's across, it's like right by Rockefeller. It's across from where Jimmy Fallon does his show.

It's like a few blocks down from Fox. It's right there in Midtown. And yeah, it's at Hilton. And he apparently, this guy, 50 years old, shot in the chest. It was 6:46 in the morning.

He was arriving for a conference. He's the CEO, so it's like his conference.

So he arrived, and apparently, this guy came up behind him in front of everybody and shot him in the chest. And then he got on one of those e-bikes. And he went away. He had on a backpack, and I mean, he looks like, I don't know, it looks like a professional hit. That's what they were saying.

Like, this was like a hit. Like, this was not something. That was by chance, like a chance criminal, whatever.

So, they said that the Christmas tree lighting and all that stuff is apparently still expected to go on. Just everybody, keep your heads on a swivel. Trump is going to visit Paris for the Notre Dame's reopening for his first trip abroad. They're going to be doing different things on different days, and he's attending one of them.

The glasses. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the glasses. But you're like the fit. The glasses.

There's some new specs. They're a little, I'm going to break them in like five seconds. Because I got to have them to see the stuff like up close to me because I've spent my whole life staring at stuff up right up by my face.

So, anyway, but we're back, Dana Lash with you. You're bemused curmudgeon. And we're going to get you set up with everything, but I also want you everybody to relax and clinch your butt because it's, you know, post-election, right? I know we got the trans whatever thing in SCOTUS. We got the Daniel Penny case.

I'm going to get you all that stuff, but we're going to keep you chill as we deliver it. Because you've been through the ringer. I'm recovered from being sick. You've been through the ringer before the election. Let's just like do it nice and easy, right?

We're going to do it nice and easy. That's how we're going to do it.

So, welcome back. We're over at Substack. You can find us there. Confine is at x. You can also find us at Rumble everywhere else.

We get the chat at Rumble. I guess they're all back in it now. Lorraine's like, oh, what's up? Like, oh, hell broke loose. That's what's up.

But uh so we've been talking about these cabinet picks. Things of that nature. And I got to tell you, and I kept thinking about this, and I'm trying to figure out. I got a piece coming out for you on Pambondi. I got another piece that I'm working on.

What was the other draft that I was working on? I had like a couple of drafts that I was working on. One of them was in a cold medicine haze. I'm not going to lie.

So, we don't know what that one's going to be like. Good luck with that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The other pick that Trump made, he took himself out of contention last night. I don't know if y'all saw this.

The lockdown sheriff? That Chad Cronister? He, uh De he n he's now out of the running. He's He's not going to be running for this anymore. He's saying that he doesn't want to be considered for head of the DEA.

Right. You guys know what? D E A stands for, right? It's the drug edible agency. E enforcement agency.

Elephants The drug elephant ass. I don't know. It's like one of those. I'm not Big Bird. Don't expect me to be like Aldor the Explorer PBS here with your kids.

Not going to happen.

So He stepped down. Like I said, I thought it was a bad pick no matter what. Do you know? Can I just tell you? And I'm not going to spend a ton of time on Chronister because I'm glad that he pulled himself out of contention.

Do you know all the stuff that this guy did?

So we focused really yesterday only on The fact that he was arresting pastors. Because they were having their church services. And, you know, worshiping the Lord is reckless and stuff. Like, y'all could be killing people by loving Jesus. Right?

I mean, that was kind of like the. prevailing thought in Hillsborough County where science didn't exist in 2020. That was the county in Florida where science didn't exist. Natural immunity wasn't a thing. I bet they still threw virgins in volcanoes and bled everybody with leeches.

I'm just saying. So, anyway. That wasn't the only thing that he did. There's a d so they deleted They're crowing about the arrest of that pastor. They deleted it from their website.

Do you know that this dude was also a major trans advocate? Yeah.

Big time. He also apparently donated to Barack Obama. Like a pretty sizable chunk of money. He expanded his office's DEI programs. He did all of that.

He based hiring and promotion on DEI. And they also promoted the transgender participation in the Tampa Pride event, and they created a literal liaison office for transgender activists. That's what this guy did. Wow. And then he also fought against ICE.

He would not collaborate with ICE per reports.

So he considered himself a Democratic Republican. Do you know what a Democratic Republican is? Nothing. It's amazing. It's like when someone says, I'm a democratic socialist.

You know what that means? A socialist. Imagine putting glitter on a turd. That's it. That's it.

The gl the the Democratic part is the glitter. Same thing.

So he did the drag queen shows while he was sheriff's office, all that. He would not collaborate with ICE and work with them on detaining and deporting illegal aliens. I mean, I've got news articles, and I linked all the receipts for you over at Substack. You've got receipts for days. You got them all up there.

He also is a big red flag backer as well. He worked with Rick Scott on that when Rick Scott was governor and passed it.

So, this guy is really problematic. By the way, you know how I was talking about how the. Hillsboro County, there in Florida, they were pretty much like science didn't exist there. Kane, how long do you think they had these regulations in place? About the lockdown stuff.

How long do you think those regulations were in place? Probably just temporary. They said two weeks to slow the spread. Oh, they said two weeks to slow the spread, did they? Probably maybe they said that, huh?

We'll give them another week. Is that three weeks? Yeah, sure, if it means two years. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for real. The first local emergency that they did in Hillsborough County.

This is one of the counties that DeSantis had to wrestle with, which, by the way, I would be like, you know what? Blank this. And I would just be going in, kicking desks over, ripping out light fixtures. I'd be done. I'd be like messing stuff up.

Sit there defying the state order. Because he had said, You're not gonna lock down anymore, knock it off. And Hillsborough County is like, But we love hating science. and they wanted to stay locked down. Two years, dude.

Two years. Two years. Wow. Yeah.

And That's they're not I guess they're not big science folks.

So local businesses and citizens had to suffer for two years That's wild. For a seasonal virus. Yeah.

I mean, I told you all if you're not if you're just joining me, so I Just to let you guys know, I mean, I'm not, I'm apparently past, like I give a red s. I apparently pass the contagiousness part, but they told me I had COVID. They did a sneaky swab on me. You know how they did it? I went in because I, because one of my kids had a throat infection.

I was like, I'm pretty sure I'm getting the same thing. Just go ahead. I'm like, this is what I need. Give me 500 milligrams of azithromycin. You know, I can do too.

I was like telling him, I'm like, I'm not going to tell you how to do your job. I'm going to tell you how to do it. I'm like, I'm basically a doctor.

So I'm telling them all this. And he and they're real cool, that 'cause the doctor's looking at me like, That's great. That's great that you're thinking that. That's not what I'm doing, but you know, Augmentin is where we're going. And also, let's just, you know, we're going to do a quick swab and.

When they said, do you want to do the swabs? I said, yeah. And I didn't stop to think. And then they swabbed the throat, and then legit right after me, and that woman had one of them long q-tips up my nose. I'm like, I did not consent, but okay.

And then they came back and they said, Oh, you got the COVID?

Well, they didn't say it like that. I say it for some reason, I gotta put the in front of stuff. It's an Ozark thing, like the COVID, the hand. I don't know. And I said, blank that, you go run it back right now.

That's what I said. Like, that's, we're not doing this. But there and I had told the dude, I was, and I, I, and I, as I mentioned this to you yesterday, just touching on this Hillsborough County thing. And how they're trying to get everybody to wear masks and all this stuff now going into the holiday season. I said, It's a cold.

I get it. I said, I'm not stupid, but you realize that this has a stigma compared to like regular colds, right? And he's like, I get it, I get it. He's like, It's not even remotely the same. He's like, Your symptoms is the worst it's going to get.

It's like three days, five days tops, you're done. He's like, you know, and says that the contagiousness period was over, et cetera, et cetera. Because I already had somebody who emailed me yesterday was like, You're putting people's lives in danger. And I was like, I'm going to put your life in danger if you send me one more stupid email. That's what's going to happen to you.

I'm on Augmentin and I'm a breathable steroid. Don't mess with me. It's a ma'am.

So anyway. They did this for two years. And after The Rona went through all of the What do you wanna like the changes and all that stuff? and became pretty much nothing but the sniffles. And they still had the stupid stuff in place.

So some of the dumbest stuff I've ever heard.

So I'm glad this guy took himself out of the running. I'm glad for it. But This party, I'm telling you. With as we're dealing with our cabinet nominees, I think it makes it even more important. to have nominees.

That Don't just look the part. and don't just fit A narrative, but actually will put on steel-toed boots and go in there and get it done. Imagine if all the people who are who came to vote the way they did this last election. watched all of the stuff that they voted for actually come to fruition in DC.

So the generational change hasn't actually totally happened yet. That's going to happen with action in DC.

So, if he gets really good people in there that can actually get the job done, then you're going to cement. a generational change. and shift in the parties. But I'm warning you. If you do not.

If he picks weak nominees. If he picks people that are more interested in clout chasing and getting a Fox contributor deal. and a book deal with Regnery or something after all this. If They don't if he doesn't have people in these positions that are going to deliver. You are going to build resentment in these new voters, unlike anything you've ever seen.

They're going to feel like they were had. And you're not going to get them back.

So You got to be real careful with this stuff. That's one of the reasons why I'm so hardcore on these nominees. And it doesn't matter to me who's in the office. It doesn't matter if I like people or not. I actually, and I can say, I personally know the president of the United States, and I have for over a decade.

I know his whole family. I just don't crow about it and I don't like put photos out everywhere 'cause I'm not an X kisser. I've never been. And he's always been very kind. And I don't agree with him on everything, but he's always been very kind.

That said, I don't care who's in the office, and you can't either. You can't afford. To be so invested in who's into office that you will not say, wait a minute, this isn't what I voted for. You have to be willing to say that, not just for your own benefit, but for the success of the administration, too. Think about.

The damage you could do.

Sounds so mean. to the left by cementing this generational change by delivering on all of these campaign issues. Holy cow. They're not the party of the working class anymore.

Now think about it. You grew up I grew up hearing that, like the Democrats were the working class party, right? Can you say that anymore? When I say Democrat to you, when I say, oh, who's the typical Democrat voter? Who do you think of?

Honestly, stop yourself for a moment. I know it flashed in your head. You think of the humanities college professor. That wears Birkenstocks and drives an old Volvo. I swear to you, you did.

That popped into your head. You did not think of. Nobody even thinks of union workers first anymore. You think of the freaks. You don't think of like the regular average everyday people.

You think of the freaks first. That's who you think of. You think of the pink-haired jiggly poops that are out there screaming about their abortions and all that. That's who you think of when I say Democrat. That is that, that's their party's branding now.

They are so. far removed from what we grew up knowing them as. It's wild. You can't unless you pretty much abandon your original entity. Republicans are now the working class.

Not only are they the working class party, But they How do I say this? And this is another thing I'm working out in a piece. Does it seem like they got a glow-up? Democrats. the the relationship that they had with the working class was almost one of tolerance.

Whereas The way that it's approached, discussed, and marketed by the right. It is almost, it's like reverence, right? Think about the dirty jobs, the micro stuff. And then when you hear them, when you hear people on the right, not even hardcore Republicans, just people. Who For practical reasons and common sense reasons, they tended to vote Republican.

Think about how they view and talk about working class. And then when you hear people like Jerry Nadler talk about, well, we got to have somebody pick our fruit and all this that. It's almost like they don't bestow upon the practice of work the full dignity it deserves on the left. And I've noticed that there has been a huge shift. in the person perspective of work.

It is celebrated. It is given dignity on the right. And It's it's cool. Whereas the left treated it like European nobles. Oh my gosh, you have to work.

That's so dirty. You're supposed to be part of the leisure class. and live off of your rent from your from your land and our feudalism. That's how they viewed it It's way different. There's a huge psychological change here that all plays into this.

I'm telling you, you made good on these promises. Man, Democrats don't won't they you will not see Democrats with major wins like that in our lifetime. Again, you won't.

So That's why it's important to make sure that these picks are good. Pre-born's a great organization, and they help women who are facing. difficult situation. Maybe it's an unplanned pregnancy.

Question: Do you agree with some of your Democrat colleagues who say that President Biden's pardon of Hunter Biden was wrong or unwise for its personal interest ahead of duty? I got nothing for you on that. I don't got nothing for I don't got I don't got nothing for you on that. Welcome back to the program, Danilash with you. Who my.

He was asked like several different ways, and his answer was the same. I got nothing for you on that. That's like one of my favorite things that reporters do when they. Especially if it's like Peter Doocy doing it, because it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen. They'll be like.

Yeah, so tell us, why is the President not going to be here today? It's like random question. Why is he not going to be here today? Oh, well, you know, he's doing some things and it makes him so why is it that he is not physically walking around here hanging out.

Well, Peter, because like a million different ways. I do like it, it is kind of funny.

So, uh I saw a thing, Josh Hawley was saying that his meeting with Pete Hegseth was canceled. This it was a CN it's a CNN reporter who said it, but It wasn't one of the bad scene in reporters. He's kind of middle of the road.

So just You're going to put that out there. I thought that was an interesting marker. That's one of the things that we're going to watch. uh here coming up 'cause I feel like if there's gonna be something that happens, if there's gonna be a change or something that it would happen, I think today is kind of you know, the the what I'm getting out of it. Uh but uh we'll see.

Uh there's also I think Trump also picked uh what a pro crypto guy, Paul Atkins to replace uh Gary Gensler as SEC chair.

So that's kinda kinda gets into the weeds a little bit, but yeah.

Some movement happening. We have our second hour on the way. The latest with the Supreme Court case, the arguments over trans issues. Stick with us. It's our friends over at Caltech, the P15.

Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. We're at the top of the second hour. on this beautiful December Wednesday, And of course, you can follow along. Over at Substack, Chapter and Verse.

You can find us at Rumble, where the chat happens. You can also find us on X, et cetera. I'm still under the weather. Recovering.

So, if I'm like sniffly or whatever, just go along with it. I have nowhere else to go. It's me and you right here. No prompter, no nothing for three hours. Actually now two, because we went through one.

So Kind of scares Kane sometimes. We've been talking about a lot of the cabinet pics, which we're going to get back to, but they're having right now Supreme Court. uh these arguments. There excuse me. The Supreme Court's hearing these arguments on trans issues.

It's already gone up this much. It's already made it up to SCODIS. And I mean, I've just been kind of looking at some of the Some of the arguments that they've been, because right now it's just you're hearing oral arguments, and that's pretty much kind of it. They are, it's this, it's this. challenge to The state of Tennessee their ban on Uh treatments for transgender youth.

I'm trying to get the correct statements. It's about the trains, treatments, trying to get those correct statements out. And the thing is, is that the... The divide, at least initially, and again, you can only get what court reporters publish because you're not, you know, you don't have cameras in there. But It seems to hinge on how the more conservative members of the court do not believe that.

Denying someone or telling a child that they cannot get this irreversible surgery. etcetera. That they don't believe it's a form of sex discrimination, whereas the more progressive justices on the court do.

So we're, we will see, excuse me, we will see. where this goes. And uh how that how these arguments end up. playing out because it's something that SCOTUS. They're weighing this.

They're weighing these treatments and the youth and all of that right now. Of course, we're also watching the Biden administration whittle down Whittledown to nothing. As they get ready for this January transfer of power We were talking about some of the uh cabinet Selections from POTUS. There was this thing going around where Uh They're tr they're suggesting that Pete Hag Seth and I've been hearing hearing this rumor From some pretty well placed folks. I don't know if I necessarily believe it or not.

And I don't know. what I think of it. Um having Heg Seth be the Trump administration considering swapping him out with DeSantis.

Now I I'm of a couple of different minds on it. I don't know if I like it. I actually like DeSantis. I think DeSantis is a more steady hand with executive leadership, obviously, than Hexeth. Not to say that Hexet doesn't have his own qualities, but in terms of leadership and running things at this executive level, my gosh, to see us all day long.

But why for this? Right? Why why now? It's kind of weird. I don't know what it I I'm always suspicious of everybody and everything.

So, I don't know if this is people that are continuing the primary division and they're trying to get people angry at DeSantis over something, or maybe the people in the Trump camp are trying to set him up. I don't know. I have no idea. Maybe he doesn't even want it. I don't know.

But it just seems weird. I think maybe let the Heg Seth stuff play out. He says he's not going to step down. They're going to shred him in confirmation hearings just like they do with anybody, but they're going to really shred him because it's a DOD. And they were using this example of his mom sending him an email, which I think is crappy to do, by the way.

His mom sent him an email reading him the Riot Act because of the way he treated a girl. And they tried to use that in the court of public opinion against him. I think that when you have to go and use people's family and you try to Point them against each other. That is so lame. And that speaks more volumes about the people using such a tactic than the people against which they are using the tactic.

That's lame to try to pit families against each other. I mean, if you can't make your argument against his confirmation or nomination better than that, then STFU, sit down, do the world a favor, do not pollute general discourse with your fecal opinion. Nobody needs to hear it. Nobody wants to hear it. I get so aggravated over this stuff.

Even if I dislike the person that they're doing it to, I get mad because it's just such a lame tactic to use. Oh, his mom sent him an email. What mom has not dressed down her son at one point in his life? What mom has not dressed down her son at one point in his life? That's like a thing, right?

It's like what mom hasn't had it out with her teenage daughter. Same thing.

Stop it. This is so dumb to try to say, well, look at this, his own mom. You're misrepresenting it. You're making it personal. And you lost the argument at that point.

I don't know. But we'll see. But I saw that it was apparently CNN was saying that Josh Hawley told them that his meeting with Heg Seth tomorrow had been canceled, but he didn't know why. It wouldn't have been Hawley that. That canceled it.

That would have been somebody else, so I don't know. There are a lot of people that are getting picked from Florida, which shows you the significance of Susie Wiles's, his chief of staff, Trump's chief of staff, her influence in his orbit, because she's going with what she knows. And so she's picking tons of people from Florida because she came up in Florida.

So that's kind of interesting. But the Hegsa thing, I don't know, we'll wait and see. But he would have to go through the confirmation process. And I can't imagine. I just think This is why, if there's any hesitation about somebody getting through the process because of things that they did, and I'm not saying this about Hegseth, more really along the lines of Gates.

Because of something they did and not something that's reflective upon you, I just maybe think that you should make a better pick. But as far as HEC Seth goes, this seems to be again, it seems like even if it's true, I don't believe it. Because I've been duped by the left. They try to do not, I haven't, but they've lied to you a million times. They've lied to me a million times.

They've tried to me too. They've tried to all of that stuff. And after the way that they went, On about Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings. None of us are ever, that was a transformational moment for a lot of people in politics. For some, it was the Clarence Thomas 2.0 moment.

A lot of people, particularly young men, back in. What, the eighties? We're really Not radicalized, but they had their suspicions confirmed after they saw the way that the left, led by Joe Biden at the time, in the Senate, by the way. He was one of the biggest jerks about it. The way that they went after Clarence Thomas and they tried to discredit him, it was pretty wild.

So. This is, you know, we'll see. Uh you know how this goes, but the Kavanaugh thing was pretty transformational and I don't think that The left wants to set itself up with another similar Situation where the guy is wholly vindicated because they are so nuts. But we'll see. But the DeSantis thing, it looks like there might be some chess at work here.

And I don't know. I just, I'm of a lot of thoughts about it.

So we'll see.

So, some of the other things, too, I want to make sure that we're touching on. We've got, like I said, the SCOTUS, they're looking at the ban on the sex reassignment stuff. There was a Tennessee law for that. I want to come back to this story. We just had it briefly in headlines.

And thankfully, this is Canada and not the United States. But The headline is the town was fined because they refused to celebrate Pride Month. It's a town of 1300 people, so it's a small town. The town interestingly enough, is named Emo. It's in Ontario.

and they violated the Ontario Human Rights Code. that the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario established. And they said that Their great offense. I mean, when you think that somebody violated, just pause for a minute. Will you hear that somebody violated like some kind of human rights code, you think, Wow That sounds pretty serious, right?

I mean human rights. Super serious. What do they do? Oh, it says here that they in the month of June did not proclaim that month Pride Month. I'm sorry, what?

Oh, and they also were sighted because they did not, they had failure to fly an L. G B T Q two whatever, blah blah blah blah blah rainbow flag. It's a $10,000 fine. Excuse me, and all of the officials in emo. are required to complete mandatory human rights training.

I have a question. Yeah, Kane, what's your question? Who do they pay it to? Like the fine. Who's the first one?

I don't know. The gays? I don't know. The article doesn't actually say. Is th the city has to pay the city?

Like What? They got a fine. Ontario, maybe? Like the province of Ontario?

So They chose not to celebrate.

Well, it's not that they didn't celebrate. They just were like, we're not going to put up these tacky flags. 'Cause they are tacky. But they didn't celebrate to the standard of whoever is criticizing them.

Well, I mean, if if your question is, did they have a parade and fly the flags and send everyone out and leather dominatrix gear with ball gags, like the gimp from Pulp Fiction, to go out and have like a full on, you know, painting pictures, a a street festival of sex copades. then you're correct, they did not do that. There were no street sex capades. Celebrating pride over how you choose to do it behind closed doors. And that costs money.

I mean, where's the like there you can have pride and a lot pride is a sin by the way.

So I think it's ironic that they're being fined for not celebrating literal sin, which is pride. But whatever. But why is that a thing? Like, why do you gotta oh, if you didn't fly the flag, you didn't affirm how someone has to sex. I would, I, it's Canada, so they're not going to fight it.

They're going to probably apologize and offer some maple syrup. I don't know. The maple leaf people up there. Oh, eh, we're so sorry, eh? We forgot to fly the flag, eh?

But are they paying the federal government? Are they painting?

Well, I don't know. It's probably Ontario. It's probably, I don't know. It's the Ontario people. I don't know.

I don't know who these people are. The Canadians up there. They issue fines 'cause somebody didn't fly uh they the town was asked to fly the alphabet rainbow flag for a week of your choosing.

Well, I choose no weeks. There's my choosing. Yeah.

Yeah, you didn't say I had to choose a week.

So the language Pard is on you, Slick. Think there's some legal wig over him here. I mean, where are the f straight people flags at? Where's that at? What do we get?

Just the Canadian flag. I mean, I just don't think that you're going to be appropriating the rainbow, first off. That's appropriation, and I was told that was wrong.

So you're appropriating the rainbow from the Christians.

So let's stop there. Let's stop. That's that's that's taken from Noah's time.

So come up with your own thing. We gotta have a straight person's flag then. And then do you get Like the straight person 2-4 spirit or whatever? Or what about the straight person flag? And then don't you get like an extra buff that goes along with it?

Like, like spaghetti and meatballs, this straight person or this straight person can successfully eat edamame if it's three beans in without having to take two bites. Like, how particular does it get? of a medium rare steak flag. Yeah, like the well done people, out. Get out.

You can't live in America. I don't care if you were born and raised here six generations. We'll deport you somewhere. Don't bring that well-done flag over here. Yeah, no well-done, nothing.

Well done is only for like jobs, not meat.

So I don't know, I just oh, so they said that there's a group called the Borderland Pride Group. Which sounds like a bunch of uh terrorist twinks. I'm gonna be honest with you.

So I just love it. They're very upset. They said in a single 12-month period they did not see a single week where the flag was flown. They said that Emo ignored their repeated requests, so they got mad about it. And they said that they need to take Human Rights 101.

I think I'm going to lead a human rights course. I'm gonna offer it on the internet. I'm going to offer a human rights course.

So if someone offends you, you punch them. Joking. Joe games. I just, this stuff is so dumb. And then I get mad because I'm like, why didn't I get into this?

I would love to just fleece the left, right? I could I could make it up and make up a company, right? Go in there and offer you human rights courses.

Now, here's the just make it ridiculous, and they'll go along with it. 'Cause they're the let. They're too terrified to be seen as going against the grain. The desire to be so homogeneous Has has killed any desire for individuality at all.

So they they are terrified. They're terrified to poke a head up. No! They gotta go with it.

So I feel like that would, you know, no one would ask anything, Kane, because then I could be like, are you assuming all of these things about me? What? And then oh no, they don't want to be offended. And then we could also form an ancillary like human rights council that we can cite people and then just pay ourselves. From the finds, it sounds like you're trying to make government bigger.

It sounds like I just came up with a damn great job, and I'll, and I, and that's what it sounds like. I'm out. Yeah, look, I'm a capitalist. I'm if I can make money off of somebody's stupidity like that on the left, all I'm all for it. High fives, high five, and all the angels.

So, the house where Jean Benet Ramsey was murdered still can't sell after 16 years on and off the market. It's a creepy little gingerbread-looking house. They said that it's the sprawling Tudor mansion and it's become a real estate pariah.

And I mean, it's $6.9 million. And they dropped it by almost a million dollars seven months later, and still nobody was coming to buy it. And they keep they keep having to They keep having to take it off the market. I mean, yeah, it's kind of. They found.

Remember, they found her body in the basement, a rarely used room down in the basement.

So, I don't know. It's just. I wouldn't. I don't think I'd want, right? I don't think I'd want to.

No, uh uh no no no no no. Um A man's male copulatory organ. was completely ruined. After a doctor gave him an unnecessary injection for erectile dysfunction, he's now going to get over $400,000 for his trouble. No, 412.

Or sorry. Yes, that's right. $412 million for his trouble. Is it worth it? $412 million.

Yes, you're correct. Uh That's Is that really worth the call? Is it though? Who's paying that money? The hospital?

That's a lot. Stick with us. We've got more in store. It's the folks over it's new to the program, Burn a Gun. It's the non-firearm firearm.

And Burn a Gun is is is a good option to have to diversify what you use for self-defense. And it's ideal for environments where guns are banned. I mean, think about it. I mean, there's, I would love to, I always tell people to carry. I have no problem using lethal force.

But at the same time, because of the nature of my work, I sometimes have to go to places where I'm not allowed to by the property or the municipality to carry there. But, you know, I can have my Burna gun, my non-firearm firearm. No waiting periods, no background checks. It's legal in all 50 states, and it shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can disable threats from up to 50 feet away. And it has a five-round capacity.

And that's when you compare that to stun guns where you got one or two shots, you have a lot more options for self-defense. It's quick deployment, easy target acquisition, no recoil. And so if you're prevented from carrying, always have some kind of option as a backup. And this is where Burna gun comes in, legal in all 50 states, and it's an effective deterrent.

Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you at the bottom of this second hour. And uh the Supreme Court, it looks like they're leaning towards upholding.

those restrictions that the state of Tennessee has as it pertains to The trans surgeries and things. I'm not calling it gender affirming care because it's a stupid made-up phrase that. Is used by people to mislead others on the true issue at being debated.

So I I don't I don't know. I it just it looks Looks like that's the way that they're leaning, according to a lot of the court reporters and people that watch SCODUS. And In addition, I guess they asked Hegseth once again whether or not he's going to or he would withdraw. from uh sec def Consideration and he said no.

So interesting. I just, that's why I'm just sitting back watching. you know, all these people talk and you know, just just a little just a little interesting. A little Just a little odd, just saying, just watching all the rumors come out about this. The Supreme Court, though, that's good news indeed.

That at least is where they're leaning. The idea that you're going to Sterilize someone. Especially if they're minors. Before they've even fully matured, before their brains have even fully developed. that you are going to sterilize them.

Make them live in a way that requires Medication for Life. and call that quote unquote gender affirming care. is one of the most evil things I can think of. It's truly evil. And that's what's That's what's being done.

So I just, you know. That's what they and Tennessee wanted to pass restrictions. against it. And that's what they're fighting about right now. That's what they're hearing These are arguments for in Supreme Court right now as it pertains to Tennessee.

And I I mean I don't know how you can have people like Kentanji Brown Jackson be on the court. and adjudicate this. Because she can't even define what a woman is. And if you're not able to define what a woman is, how are you able to? To then present a decision on this issue.

This is where the ideology Meets practicality. How do you then Determine that you're gonna You're going to adjudicate an issue and you can't even define the terms involved in it. You see how dumb this is? Like, sorry, ma'am, but you can't define what a woman is. How are you?

I'm just going to say, how are you going to. How are you going to do this?

So a few other things. I mentioned Hexet just a bit ago. There's a piece that came up on NBC. And they're they try to hit him with an email with his mom.

Now they're saying that Ten current and former Fox employees say that he drank in ways that concerned his co-workers. Other people said it was false. They said that there were a dozen occasions during his time when he co-hosted Fox and Friends Weekend. which people would smell alcohol on him before he went on air. Uh and they would say that he would be he'd talk about being hungover.

As he was getting ready on set, etc. How old is he? He's like 40, something years old. Uh, I don't know. And also, yeah, I don't.

I don't believe any of these people. I don't believe any of these people. They said that uh he was intoxicated acting in his official capacity. report while he was President of Concerned Veterans from America. To the point of needing to be carried out of organizations' events, and this was what the New Yorker wrote: if you want to believe the New Yorker.

The New Yorker is pretty left-leaning. And so, if you're a left-leaning entity and you're trying to dig up dirt on somebody, who are you going to talk to? Are you going to talk to conservative people? Are you going to talk to left-leaning people? It's like a game of confirmation bias.

So that's who they were. They were in this and then In addition to this, They're um Also, they're trying to argue about his drinking. They also had this thing that said, This is the Concerned Veterans for America. Or they said that I He they're denying This is the trustee of the group. was denying that he had been in twenty that denied in 2016 that the current Defense Secretary Designee was forced out of the position due to drinking and other misconduct, directly contradicting whistleblowers Who spoke with the New Yorker?

So, this is one of the reporters in the New York Post.

So. This This trustee, Randy Lair, who is a trustee for Concerned Veterans for America. Said that. in this has talked about his departure in this letter. And they said that they normally don't respond to this type of stuff, but they felt that it was important to do so.

It was a very personal attack. They said he resigned his position as a result of difference of opinion to the future of the organization. This is from the letter, so that he could focus on other endeavors, including his relationship with Fox. He was not terminated. They said that they worked with him through this decision.

They agreed that it was the best timing for both parties, et cetera. absolutely contradicts the New Yorker piece. That that contradicts that piece.

So far, it just doesn't seem as though the detractors have a lot. Am I right?

So I'm just curious as to why there's all of this effort. To These rumours about the DeSantis factor stepping in. Because so far it doesn't look. Trump hasn't said anything about Heg Seth. I mean, it seems like they've.

Emptied everything at him at this point, right? I mean, what else is there? Did he run over kittens or something? Like, what else? What else do we have?

Did he put uh Did he put onions in his macaroni and cheese? Did he put nuts and cookies? Like, what else? Like, tell me. 'Cause those right there disqualifying.

Yeah.

First of all, nuts don't belong in cookies. They don't belong in chocolate chip cookies. Chocolate chip cookies. That's for chocolate chips. If you want nut cookies, make your trash nut cookies.

And keep them out of the chocolate chip cookies. I don't want it. Oatmeal raisin, though, is way better. That's disgusting. What?

I think they're nasty. Oatmeal raisin cookies are punishment. You know why? It's crappy breakfast and here's some dried grapes. Or nasty.

I like chocolate chip a lot, but I just happen to like oatmeal raisin a little bit better. Why? Why do you have to completely hate oatmeal raisin cook chocolate chip? Because I do. 'Cause it's nasty?

It's like the nastiest dessert ever conceived. I'm insulted. Like, if someone's like, here's some oatmeal raising, I'm no thanks. I'm not going to eat it. I can imagine from my perspective, you like candy corn.

Yeah.

So But when it comes to cookies, because candy corn doesn't look like boogers, raisins do, and I don't want it on my oatmeal cookies. The end. Not gonna lie. Let's move on. We've established this, why it's nasty, right?

Okay. Alright. 'cause it's gross. That's the important thing.

So like if he liked oatmeal raisin cookies, Sorry, but I can't. Can't support it. Uh he resigned from his difference of opinion 'cause he likes trash cookies is why. Immediately disqualified. Just gotta tell ya immediately.

It's totally fair in my world. I can't yeah, I I will never trust anybody that likes an oatmeal raisin cookie more than a chocolate chip cookie. I can't do it. No. me So No, you better reevaluate your life's choices, Kane.

No, you like, what is the matter? With you. Why do you hate America? I like Obi-Raisin cookies. What's wrong with that?

It's not that I hate it. It's like if I say I like waffles, and you're like, well, I hate panties. The sentence was: specifically, like them more than chocolate chip cookies. Yeah, I do like them. If I had, if there is.

Okay, now we're back to the original spot. What? That's the point. No, you can't be seced up.

Sorry. I don't want to be sex deaf, but pull in your nomination now. If there was a plate. Of cookies on the left that were chocolate chip, cookies on the right were oatmeal raisin, I would first go to the oatmeal raisin one. And you're saying you'd go.

You'd throw the oatmeal raisin ones on the floor, is what you'd say. Throw them on the floor.

Okay. And anyone who tried eating them, throw them on the floor, too. Because I'm living, let live kind of guy. There you go, man. Yeah.

So I gotta share with you, this is uh the Solicitor General. That's arguing this The Trains case before SCODUS, you want to hear this this this is apparently what she wrote in a brief submitted to the court. Quote. Oh, come here. An adolescent assigned female at birth cannot receive puberty blockers or testosterone to live and present as a male, but an adolescent assigned male at birth can, and vice versa.

An adolescent assigned male at birth cannot receive puberty blockers or estrogen to live and present as a female, but an adolescent assigned female at birth can. That is sex discrimination. First off, The Solicitor General is Elizabeth Prelogar. Who assigns them the sex? Assigned female.

It's not a sign. Like there's a giant Pre-earth waiting room where angels walk around and be like, That one's a girl. Let's assign male to that one. That one is, and then they get their genitals upon entering into the world. But no one's assigning anything.

It would be. No, she very clearly believes that there are assignments that go out. And she is believing something incorrect because it's just people observing. It's just nobody's assigning anything. You're observing.

Well, the Lord assigned it.

Well, yeah. But no one here on earth is assigning it. We're just observing and then noting it. Yeah.

I hate the language of this stuff. I mean, this is the dumbest thing ever. There's their heart excuse me, she's arguing. that there are certain drugs and things that are available only to men, or certain drugs and things available only to women. Because it one set of, like, one drug can hurt men, another drug can hurt women, and that that's somehow sex discrimination.

We don't make the laws of reality, you dumb broad. This is just the way of the world. There's gonna be stuff that men can take that women can't take. There's gonna be stuff that women can take that men can't take. Oh my gosh, I feel like we're dealing with some of the stupidest people on God's green earth.

You have to explain it like this to these people? In so elementary a term? This is so stupid. I mean, that's like saying, well, why can't I, a man, get a hysterectomy?

Well, I don't know. Take it up with the Lord. Don't know why you can't. Woof. Why can't Why can't I get a a prostate check?

Take it up with the Lord. Good night. Nothing was assigned. Like you, like you just have like a Barbie mound area, and then you don't get genitals until you're in the world. Or you don't get your chromosomes until you're in the it's just so goofy.

These people, this is anti-science. It really is. You have to be anti-science to argue the stuff that they're arguing before SCODAs. You absolutely have to be. As we move, our partners over at Hillsdale College are doing their job educating the dumb people of America.

I mean, you know, I'm talking about the people who think that they're liberal. I had a friend whose kid went to, his kid went to Hillsdale. I just found this out. And they were kind of liberal, right? Grew up in a conservative household.

This kid goes to Hillsdale, actually is educated, comes back smarter than the parents ever thought the kid could be. I say kid, they're like 19 years old, but you know what I mean. And they were actually employing critical thinking. And the parents were like, they're saying it's their Christmas miracle this year. All I'm saying is that Hillsdale actually focuses on academic excellence, which is weird to say because you think that most colleges would do it.

But apparently, Hillsdale is a diamond in the rough. And they have the type of education that is required to protect the values of liberty.

So this is what's important. They go about it the founders' way. The founders understood classical education is incredibly important because you have to be educated in order to preserve your rights and to fight for your rights. And that's what Hillsdale teaches. It's part of their mission since their founding in 1844.

And you don't have to just go to their campus in Michigan. They have all kinds of free resources for you online where they have educational podcasts. They have their free speech digest and primus. They have all kinds of stuff. You can check out everything that they have to offer and learn more about Hillsdale at dana4hillsdale.com.

Take some time, learn what makes them so special, and learn why so many people are so satisfied with the education that they're receiving at Hillsdale College. Dana4for Hillsdale.com. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. A Florida man trying to buy crack on Craigslist was arrested when an undercover deputy answered the ad.

The Holmes County Sheriff's Office. Their investigators responded to the ad. Posed as a seller, set up a meeting with the individual who had been identified as Anthony Mata. Deputies say that Mata negotiated to buy an eight ball of meth for 80 bucks. After finalizing the deal, the investigator met him at the agreed-upon location.

They exchanged money, deputies moved in. Yeah, they on Craig's list. It just seems that seems so sketchy. That's so sketchy. And meth is bad.

And these guys look like they're in an old-timey movie. I'm just saying just Uh let's see. Uh I I can't read the dog story. Oh my gosh. This guy A Daytona Beach man, Douglas Mattney, M-A-T-N-E-Y.

Douglas Mattney, M-A-T-N-E-Y. If he looks exactly like a douche or looks. twenty one years old. Charged with felony and animal cruelty. He's out of the Velusia County Branch Jail and $5,000 bond.

He apparently shot a two-year-old black p bull pick mix. Pitbull mix named Zola. And he shot the dog in the right cheek because the dog was aggressive during bath time. And they found him with the they found the 55 pound dog with a bullet wound to his cheek. and it stopped in his abdomen.

And he did not get medical attention for the pet. And uh Dog the police said that the dog apparently had non-functional back legs and was uncontrollably urinating on itself. It was a lot of pain in this guy. I want this, I want to scalp this dude. I just, that's my own personal free speech opinion.

I am not, you guys know what I think. Give me five, oh my gosh, give me 60 seconds, please, for the love of all things holy, in a lock room with this dude. How's he out on $5,000 Bond? That was my thing. I mean, that's I know, exactly.

That's just, you know, this guy's, oh, so yeah, I hope he gets I it I it'd be great if he had some prison time. And if some prison justice befell him, I'm not saying that money would magically be deposited in the commissary of uh anybody who was maybe a part of it, but I you know, I'm maybe might be saying that. I don't know. I'm pretty mayor of Kingstown about some of this stuff, so I don't know. Anyway, so that oh, I need a happy story now because that this makes me mad.

That's a horrible story. We could talk about this Florida dude who I don't. Oh gosh, these people.

So this Florida dude. He was denied entry to a USAA building and he put on a helmet and drove his car right into the facility. Robert Beady. Yeah.

He went to the guard gate at the USS at the USAA office. and demanded to be let inside. They said not not gonna happen.

So th then he put on a helmet. and drove right through the parking garage. And they're through their fences. They two people in a marked security SUV tried to block him in, but then he reversed and struck their vehicle to create some space. He was on the third floor when they found him of the parking garage, taken into custody.

He got charged with two felony counts, aggravated battery, With a deadly weapon, one felony counterburglary of an occupied structure. Felony kind of criminal mischief, $1,000 or more. He got some more charges. Thankfully, nobody was injured. But I mean, the fact that he went and put on a helmet And then drove his car through.

Yeah, I don't I don't know. Just Uh let's see this um Mm-hmm, nope, not doing that one. We could talk about the uh teacher from Port St. Lucie found naked NEKID in an elementary school. Joe Urias faces multiple charges, including battery on a law enforcement officer, Somerset College Preparatory Academy.

And apparently, according to Port St. Lucie, the 34-year-old Urias was found after police were dispatched to Windpoint Elementary School for a burglary in progress. When they arrived, they found him naked in the classroom among clothes, food, a laptop. drugs and some Private time accessories. I don't know how else to say it.

He reclothed himself and tried to run out of the building once he was discovered. But guess what? They got him. And then the cop that grabbed him was punched in the face. Urias was arrested, taken to St.

Lucie County Jail. Wow, he's got a lot of charges. Lewde behavior, burglary, possession of marijuana, battery law enforcement. I mean, he's got a lot. He's got a lot of charges.

That's all you need to know. There's too much to read. He's got a lot, and he's going to be in major trouble. Major, major trouble. We have.

but in Angola in a vibrant city. Boy, oh boy. Oh my gosh. as Joe Biden when he was in Africa. I saw a video of him yesterday.

Where he was just what was he doing? He just was wandering around. Again, he had to be guided by one of the leaders there. To Like walk down this like carpeted path. Towards a dais, and he was just kind of all over.

It was weird. There was one little step. And the other leader had to help it looked bad. It looked bad. Notice you don't see Harris anywhere anymore either.

Nowhere.

Nowhere.

Where is she at? Welcome. Back to the program. Again, Dana Lash, with you, we're at the top of this third hour, still under the weather. We're making it through.

We're making it through. And uh We're getting you set up with all the news through the week. We're also watching this Supreme Court, the arguments before the Supreme Court. About this ban in Tennessee on I Is it surgery, experimental surgery, sex changes for minors? And th I what, three hours of argument so far?

And the Biden administration keeps saying that they have an overwhelming amount of evidence of the benefits of giving people hormonal castration, et cetera, et cetera. It's a wild argument. to make. Before someone's even reached the age of consent legally, you're going to allow them to, yeah, let's go ahead and get chemically castrated or, you know, surgically. It's just unbelievable that this is the argument before the court today.

And uh but it looks like the courts are leaning towards common sense. and erring on the side of caution, particularly as it relates to Minors are kids.

So, you know, we'll see with that. They were trying to figure out because. The Other argument that was that was in this is whether or not it's constitutional. or or unconstitutional rather. For states too.

protect uh minors from harmful and unnecessary elective. Medical procedures, which seems You know, I'm not trying to beg the question with the way that I'm uh phrasing it, but That's the reality of the question. how it's this idea of transitioning. is an ideological, not a medical. Discussion.

So, I will see because this is something that you're talking about, minors everywhere and the right to happiness. There's certain things that you think extend beyond the. jurisdiction of states. We don't have any decisions but Where the judge that's in this or the sorry, the judge, the the uh uh attorney, one of the attorneys in this case. The lawyer with the ACLU who's arguing about it?

This is Chase Audio Summit 19 Strangio. Strangio? Right. This is the trans lawyer. With the ACLU.

who is making these arguments towards the before Scott is listen. to a law that is banning this care for minors.

So if Tennessee is successful, if the Supreme Court in essence sides with the government of Tennessee, I think that will open the door to the types of federal bans on this care, not only for minors, but for adults too. For adults too, you think. I do, I do. And I think that's one of the things we should be really concerned about. We're hearing a lot about young people can't consent to this care, but it is their parents consenting to this care.

That Chase Strangio was assigned a birth. I don't think she was assigned anything. I think The doctor observed. the lack of male genitalia. and put down the only other option.

which was female. Yeah.

I mean, that's how you grow facial hair like that, but your voice still sounds like Mickey Mouse. I dude, I don't know. Uh This uh She's the deputy director for transgender justice. And a staff attorney with the ACLU. And she's being celebrated as the first.

Person cosplaying as a man to make oral arguments before the Supreme Court.

So She decided. To do this of her own free will. And make the Determination, you know, I guess. After becoming of age. And this person I mean, she's i in previous arguments, she's even acknowledged that The kids aren't actually the ones giving consent to do this.

Which I would think that would undermine your entire argument, right? If you're saying that the kids aren't actually giving consent to do this, well then how is this? You're not You're not providing consent. This is wild. But that's the attorney that's arguing this.

uh before SCODUS. And it looks as though Scotus is leaning Towards some common sense. I mean, at least Initially, that's what it looks like. I mean, we'll see, we'll watch all that for you, but they. I mean, it's been from the notes that I've seen, it's been pretty crazy thus far.

And it got kind of Uh because they were saying that even they tried to compare So, one of the reporters was saying that they were trying to compare, quote unquote, I hate this phrase, gender-affirming care. Experimental surgery. That Every medical treatment has risk, even taking aspirin, was one of the. Remarks.

Okay. The risks for the experimental surgeries that they call gender-affirming care are sterilization. uh hormonal problems for life. hormonal abuse, mental, Physical I mean, it's, oh my gosh, this is not, you can't just diminish this. With a comparison to getting your weenus chopped off, inverted into a franking, is the exact same as the risks associated with popping an aspirin.

It's not even remotely similar. The fact that people make this argument that she immediately get out of my courtroom, get out. You're too stupid to argue. But that was pretty much like within the first 20 minutes that that was done.

So that gives you an immediate insight into how wild this is. They think it's just, oh, well, the you know, I mean, it's just there's risks with everything, like popping aspirin. That's like saying there's a risk of stepping on a Lego in your house and a risk of driving off a bridge when you're on the freeway. I mean, you know. They're the same.

It's the exact same. It's just wild. And Then you had Kentanji Brown Jackson. You know. The judge who doesn't know what a woman is.

who was trying to argue that Somehow It's Uh if you're banning The experimental surgery for minors, that that's somehow the same as banning interracial marriage?

Okay. All right. How is chopping off boobs? and trying to say that you're a dude now. Unnecessarily.

In any way, like two people entering into a covenant with the Lord in marriage. What in the world? These comparisons are getting crazier than the standard conflation of like, you know, oh, you're against immigration because you don't like illegal immigration. That used to be the the main conflation.

Now it's just so ridiculous. Mm-hmm. January 20th couldn't come fast enough. She actually had said, according to Leo Sapier, who's another reporter in the courtroom. Kentanji Braun Jackson.

Hypothet gave a hypothetical A boy who identifies as a boy but takes puberty blockers because he wants to lower his voice. Rather than changes, they're talking about, you know, in instances, I guess, that the medicine, whatever, can be used for. Ah, what? A boy who identifies as a boy? Would not have to have their vo voice lowered by taking puberty bloggers.

That is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. How in the hell are these people in the position to adjudicate this? How? And apparently Alito he noted that the CAS report found no evidence that gender affirmative treatments reduce suicide. He said there's he says accurately, he says that there's zero evidence in any of these studies.

There are multiple studies that do show that there is a reduction in suicidality.

So we admit that it does nothing to reduce any suicide rate, any mental health catastrophe, nothing. We admit that it's not actual consent. We admit that okay, so what is the argument for this? You're pumping kids full of hormones that you don't know the long-term effects to. You're mutilating them before they're even of age with experimental surgeries.

I mean, Europe has banned this. Of all the times that the United States doesn't want to copy Europe, why is it over this? I mean, they copy them over everything else. Makes zero sense. It's just just asinine, but this is where we're at.

Where we're at. Where we are at.

Now, um A couple other couple other things to touch on. The as yeah as we were saying, I watched the sec death pick because apparently there's a lot of movement on the Hegzeth thing. I don't know what's going to happen. I just think it's all, I don't know. I feel like that there's two different camps.

in the Trump transition group. And it seems that one camp has been making some not-so-stellar recommendations, and then the other camp has been putting forward some pretty solid recommendations. And I feel like the latter camp probably needs to rule from here on out. I mean, I think it's great to get people who like whack the libs on X, but what does that translate to practical, like actual meat space effects? You need to have someone who's going to be able to make those kind of make the kind of changes that you need.

So we'll see.

In the meantime, where's Biden? Is he going to the Notre Dame thing too? The Notre Dame reopening? Is fine? I don't know, I didn't see that.

I was looking 'cause Trump is going. I think he's going like uh Apparently Macr it was reported that Macron was begging Trump to to visit the Notre Dame reopening. And apparently It's going to be they're opening the doors to the public. They had the fire in 2019, so they had to do a lot of work. And uh I guess that they are I mean, I don't know if he if Trump was already going before Macrone tried to convince him, but.

They're doing the opening. It's going to be on the 8th.

So it's going to be actually uh really shortly. I mean You're looking at what, four days' time?

So I think that he's I I I would is Biden gonna go? I don't know. I mean, he was in Africa. And then in Brazil, And not doing so well. Did he fall asleep?

Wait, we have audio of him actually falling asleep. Audio of somebody 20. He's trying to keep his eyes open. This was how bad it is. Is he really?

Watch this, and then you determine whether you think he's going to go to Paris. Or the US in support of the development of the Robito Corridor. Tanzania views the Robita corridor as an integral part of a broad simultaneous interpreter to enhance connectivity in Africa. We also appreciate The fact that the implementation of the project will provide important opportunities for Africa's development. In sectors such as agriculture, renewal.

You know what he's doing? You know what your parents would tell you when you were young? I'm going to close my eyes for a minute. That meant nap. We all know that.

I'm just going to close my eyes. Did your parents ever say that to you? And you're like, wait a minute. Are you napping? No, I'm just closing my eyes.

Okay, good, because I thought you were napping. Right. So Biden has no idea what's happening. I don't see he'd fall asleep at that too. No one knows.

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

So, Britney Speer says that she's really five years old and moving to Mexico. Yeah, it was a footage via TMZ that was posted to her Instagram account. She says that Paparazzi put her on a plane with a mask over her face while carrying a torch. And then she just said that she... was turned 42 when she's actually 43, but then said really she actually meant she's turned five.

and she is moving to Mexico and going to kindergarten because the paparazzi are cruel. This chick really needed her conservatorship. I mean It's not. Right. So, man.

So I'm just saying that's it's kinda sad, but A felony charge over a dipping sauce dispute via smoking gun. The uh This isn't Florida. It could have been a Florida story. 31-year-old woman was arrested for strong-armed robbery. Because fast food workers failed to include her sauces in her mobile pickup order.

Her name is Kenzie Keeling. She's got blue and pink hair. She got her grub from a raising canes in Clearwater. She was missing eight packs of cane sauce. You gotta have that cane special sauce.

She said that she wanted to be, she wanted those more extra sauces in return for wasting time and gas. Her extra sauce bid was refused and then she began. Yelling, and she was physical, and blah blah blah. And so she was, she was released on a $2,500 bond. You know.

You could just go in and be like, hey. You forgot my sauces. It's nothing I'm gonna get a felony charge over, but I would like my sauces, right? I mean, it's super easy. to keep yourself out of certain situations.

Hackers are leaning into total destruction. It's not just about getting data anymore. I mean, they want to destroy everything according to this piece. From MSN. And they said that it's becoming more and more di uh damaging.

Uh in that uh I mean destroying entire networks, not just You know, hits here and there, getting information. A man was chasered by police after he tried to carjack an Uber while naked. Activities you don't do naked. Crouching, carjacking, things like that. A man was tasered.

While he was buck naked in front of shocked onlookers in Perth, Australia. His name, Puy Clark, of course it is. Running naked from police down busy James Street, Northbridge, he tried to carjack an Uber. It didn't work out very well for him.

So. It's all on camera too, none of which we can show for obvious reasons. Stay with us. We've got a lot more on the way. Keep your finger on the pulse with a Dana Show podcast, delivering timely news with insightful analysis whenever you want, straight to you on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you and We are uh Course. You know, here discussing all of the latest cabinet picks, everything else with POTUS and POTUS elect. And then we were kind of questioning were potatas. Is.

Not quite sure where he, I don't know what's happening there. We'll see. A couple of things. I got some audio I wanted to. I wanted to put out here.

Uh this is t t This I this is wild. Audio Sound Bite 15. Eric atoms. The New York City Mayor He says Well He's been very very critical over the illegal alien crisis in New York. And he had some things to say about it.

He dared the left even to cancel him yesterday. He also added this audio sum by fifteen. The long-term impact of what we did to this city. You're going to see it materialize in administrations in the future. They hurt the future of New York City.

And when people hear me say $6.4 billion, they may say, well, okay, it's just a billionaire, billionaire. No, we didn't invest in seniors the way we should have, in young people the way we should have. We're not going after getting these chronic absentee students the way we should have. The crimes that that we witnessed, this impacted our city and people don't seem to understand why were you fighting so hard for this because I reflected on that 11-year-old boy that was denied and I went into government to stop these 11-year-old boys and I came up with a plan to do so and the federal government made me take $6.4 billion out of providing these services that we all should be angry at what happened to our city. under this administration.

Oh, is that last? Point there. Woo! They're going to get him. He's not going to be invited for any more Democrat fundraisers after that.

I don't see how that happens. But he's not wrong. Here's the thing. And I keep saying this because I'm just, you know, sort of watching some of the stuff at play and looking at things like, you know, like Democrats going into. into twenty-eight and all this stuff.

They There's going to be a huge problem. They still have a big problem. They haven't done. like a a proper actual Uh post-mortem Why they lost. It's obvious to us why they lost.

It's not obvious to the Left why they lost.

Now, by the left, I mean people in DC. because Eric Adams seems to kind of get it. And I don't agree with him on Hardly anything. But on this You know, it's not incorrect. That's not what you're hearing from Democrats in DC.

Democrats in DC Don't think that anything's wrong. They think the economy is great. If you listen to their sound bites. That Uh economy is great. There's no issue at the border.

what what they're, I guess, living or experiencing is miles wide, inches deep. Uh in terms of the depth that they're willing to explore it. It's so different from what we're living. But then you've got governors and you've got mayors like Eric Adams who are saying things that he's not, what he's saying. isn't Republican stuff.

I mean, what he's saying is what anybody would say if they Had a brain and eyes. They can see exactly what's happening. They know what's going on here. They can see the crime. They can see the.

Unfettered, you know, thousands that are being brought illegally across the border and being sent to New York because it's a sanctuary. city they see the crimes committed by unvetted individuals who were just allowed to enter. No way of checking any kind of criminal record. People are done with it. They're fed up.

This is reflected in the language and the positions of local. and state. Lawmakers But then it seems to end there. Federally, in DC. Totally different story.

They're not going to be able. To win another election. until they fix that schism. It's a difference of, and I said this earlier. When Your ideology meets reality.

Reality Requires sober observance. Reality requires practicality. Reality Requires Policy. Like actual workable policy, not just simply denial. Until they figure this out.

This is going to be a problem that they have. for quite some time. We may never see another Democrat victory in our generation again. They're saying two different things. They're saying two different things.

It's why in some states you had like in blue all states. If you went back and looked, some of the state lawmakers who were running for reelection were Democrats and they did well. But then the people voted for Trump for president. Don't you think that's interesting? You had Democrats that didn't turn out.

The turnout for us. This last election was actually pretty much almost the same as it was in 2020. Republicans didn't have a banger year for turnout. There wasn't any kind of exorbitant record setting turnout. Because Republicans are good like that.

But what you did have was record-setting lack of turnout for Democrats. No enthusiasm. They were giving nothing concrete to rally around. And a lot of them, a lot of Democrats that did turn out, they changed their affiliation and they voted for Republicans. Because they felt that the messaging that they were hearing the policy proposals that they were reading were more in line with what they wanted and what they needed to happen.

Then what they had previously believed with Democrats. This is going to be a problem for Democrats until they can get this. They've got to figure out how to reconcile these two very. different things here.

So, did you hear about it? I didn't know that there was luxury cannabis. I mean, I guess you could have artisanal weed. You can have artisanal anything, right? But what makes it artisanal?

I mean, it doesn't get much more artisanal than growing in the sequoias with Bigfoots, right? True. I mean I don't know. Jay-Z had apparently a luxury cannabis company, which is funny to me. And it It struggled to sell $50 joints.

I'm sorry. Was it now? I don't know how don't make fun of me. Shut up. Yeah.

Does it come in like a carton, like cigarettes? Do you get like a bunch of the joints, or is it just like. Yeah.

No, I mean, I I guess you can buy several, but They don't come in packs like cigarettes. There is a company that does them, and they make them look like cigarettes, but they're actually. Or do people make their own? Oh, yeah, no. People mostly roll their own, but they sell them.

In pre-roll.

Sorry, do you do like a grape leaf like with cigars, or is it like just like cigarette paper? I'm curious. Yeah, it's cigarette paper.

Okay, so. Were these I guess pre-rolled. Right. Luxury joints. Right.

Fifty dollars. Again, not knowing I only know like the hysterical stuff that I've ever seen with Cheech and Chong. Yeah.

I mean, I'm assuming they're like that b $50 for one of them, how much does that get you? What are we talking about here? Yeah, Chee Chin Chang is shockingly real life. Oh. That's real life.

So you get one Joint for fifty dollars. That's what it says here. No, I know that's it. $50 for one of his luxury joints. No, I get that was there.

Effort? But it didn't work out, obviously. Yeah, they lost half a billion dollars since they launched. Yeah.

How do you lose money on weed? If you do it stupid. Make it really expensive. This is like one of the dumbest things I've ever seen in my life. They act like they're like, oh, Sean Carter's a great businessman.

Maybe, but not with this, because I'm not even in the pot. And I could have told you, you're selling one little joint for $50. Are you stupid? It's the luxury joint. What is it?

Like, do California Condors talon roll it? Like how does that work? Is are there gold flakes that you smoke? What is it? Apparently California has a tough legal pot market.

I didn't know that either. It's wild. I love that everybody has to deal with bureaucracy. Like nobody, even the sin, even the sin industries, I love it. They said that.

Uh none of the s retailers across California and Arizona They don't stock Jay-Z's. Buds or joints. on their online menus. Yeah.

And they had, oh my gosh, this is Kamala level crazy, $575 million that they launched. With And now they're in trouble. They said that Jay Z's monogram products are overpriced and underwhelming. Wow. Criminal element.

They say California's legal weed sector has been stymied by complex rules, high taxes, competitions from black market traders, wildfires, sliding prices. Uh a lot of people have been pushed into insolvency. But they said that It was mind-boggling the amount of money that was pushed for this. I could have told you immediately that probably not going to work. Lux you're talking about luxury pot.

People are broke. Everybody that is broke. And the people who are going to be doing this are probably not going to be like the Jay-Z rich level people. They're going to be people who think that smoking this makes them Jay-Z rich level. And now they can't afford it because everybody's broke because of the president Jay-Z endorsed.

And his administration. True. So, I can't say that I feel sorry for him. I don't. I just think it's funny.

Like, who thought that, you know what? We're in a time of, it's a, it's a. Lockdown let's launch a luxury cannabis company and charge people. fifty dollars per joint. What else can you make a luxury?

Like artisanal weed. Are you going to do artisanal kefir, Kane? It's pretty artisanal. I don't know how much more artisanal you can make it. It's pretty artisanal on its own.

I don't know. and glass bottles. Preserved from you know, Quaker I have no idea what what you could do with it. And Yeah, that sounds. I during a time of Inflation, I just don't think that luxury stuff, especially starting any kind of luxury line, is going to make it take off.

Gen Z, here's the story: Gen Z is killing the Christmas party. Uh people are sober curious. Band aid is banned. And everybody goes home early. Golly, this generation sucks.

This is horrible. I don't want to party with these people. Yeah, I know, right? Who dookied in their weedies? Jiminy.

They even know what the They said mistletoe is a firm no-no. Apparently, missile tow sales have plummeted. I didn't even know. I've seen that.

So stupid. Uh they said that uh going to bed early is in. Gifting olive oil instead of alcohol shut up uh hot chocolate and then out, bandaid, mistletoe and alcohol. I mean I don't know. I I just don't know.

Christmas parties, I don't care if somebody drinks or not. But if you're gifting alcohol, if you're giving olive oil, man, you better be knowing you're cooking. Don't just grab some cheap old olive oil, because it's just stupid. Yeah.

Cain just gave me a serious look. That's a real thing. No plastic bottle. Yeah, you don't put keep it on plastic bottle either. I don't know.

Isn't this the generation, or is it millennials that got upset over baby? It's cold outside? I think it was millennials. Cowly, they ruined everything. These people ruin everything.

Yeah, now they're like, oh, here we are hanging out and just, you know, no mistletoe. No, b bandaid's part of it. You gotta make fun of band-aid. That's the whole point of it. You play it and you make fun of the fact that all these celebrities got together, and apparently, Michael Jackson was weirded out.

It's weird. It's funny. You make fun of it. Germany. Just everybody stop being so serious.

So and he was very he was very happy. He's this uh apparently a source said he's had a huge weight was lifted off that he's had to carry since his dad got elected. I mean, his dad w wasn't the one making you do all the gross things that you were doing, but okay. I mean, it j can you imagine being his kids and seeing this stuff about your dad in the press? It's just heinous.

Heinous.

So, yeah, they said that the old people were attacking me and they were attacking me because of my father. Or because you were a deadbeat Nepo. I mean, th that's kind of like, you know, really what we're looking at, but whatever.

So He uh I guess that I don't know if it's ever gonna be released I don't know.

So we'll but yeah, they they that's what he that's how he spent that's how he celebrates was adamant that Hunter's laptop was misinformation, wasn't real.

All right, looks like the medical treatment for transgenders conversation was happening with SCODIS, and Sodomayor had a response to a question when. Uh was asked how many miners Have to have their bodies irreparably harmed for unproven benefits.

And I don't know about you, Dana. When I've taken aspirin, I don't have irreparable harm, but this is what her response was. Listen, we cannot eliminate the risk of detransitioners.

So it becomes a pure exercise of weighing benefits versus risk. And the question of how many minors have to have their bodies irreparably harmed for unproven benefits is one that is best left. I'm sorry, counselor. Every medical treatment has a risk. Even taking aspirin.

Oh, my lord.

Okay. That's just like the trans, just like lopping off your salon. Same thing, Dana. Just like it. Yeah, it's just like it.
