Over two centuries ago, it was England that taxed our tea. Now it’s Brussels trying to regulate our companies. Under new European regulations, American businesses face crushing fines, forced disclosures, and foreign red tape that kills jobs here at home. America’s laws should be written in America, not Brussels. Reject European regulatory overreach and uphold Trump’s trade deal. Paid for by Americans for Limited Government.
SPEAKER 19 :
It is the data show and breaking news. The state of Georgia moving to drop all remaining charges in the 2020 election interference case against President Donald Trump. Welcome to the show. It’s Rich Zioli from Philadelphia. Great to be with you again. It’s been a while. It’s been a minute. It’s a very busy day today. A lot of breaking news, even though it’s Wednesday and it’s the holiday rush. That’s what I’ll get ready for Thanksgiving. And, of course, everybody is urging politeness. Please be polite when you’re flying or when you’re traveling. Please be polite. All right? That’s the message. Dress, you know, don’t dress like a schlub. Put on some decent clothes. And nobody needs to see you in your pajamas. And then don’t fight. And try not to get drunk on a plane. It’s not that complicated. And be nice to people, especially the people working there. Because they’re working and, you know. you’re not so uh i think it’s a pretty simple message it’s a shame we have to give that message but i mean part of the problem is that the airline the traveling experience is not really much fun anymore between the tsa and the and the fondling and the groping and then the the seats that are so tiny and narrow and they don’t give you any snacks and a lot of people are hangry and you can’t bring your water through security so yeah by the time you get on the plane you’re a little bit Yeah, you’re a little bit cranky. People have been known to even call people names, like Piggy, for example. So I’m just saying, be nice, and there you go. That’s how we’ll do it. But this is a big deal right out of Georgia to start the show here on The Dana Show on this Wednesday. The state of Georgia moving to drop all remaining charges in the 2020 election interference case against the president and his co-defendants. Quote, the political persecution of President Trump by disqualified district attorney Fannie Willis is finally over. This case should never have been brought. A fair and impartial prosecutor has put an end to this lawfare. That statement by Trump’s lead Georgia defense counsel, Steve Sedao. This entire case, from the initiation of the district attorney’s investigation in 2021 to the present, is without precedent. noted Peter J. Skandalikas, who took over the case after Fulton County District Attorney Fannie Willis was disqualified from handling it. And of course, you remember, we all remember she was disqualified because her gumata came on the case and she was paying him hundreds of thousands of dollars. And he was not qualified to try that case or really any case outside of a traffic court for that matter. Never before and hopefully never again will our country face circumstances such as these. It was political weaponization of the highest degree. It was the political weaponization of the justice system. And we know that she was cooperating with Merrick Garland. We know that they were in cahoots together at the time. He turned general of the United States. They wanted to get Trump on anything. It was a ridiculous, ridiculous, ridiculous case. It really stemmed from the time that he talked to the governor of Georgia and said, I only need like 12, 13,000 votes. He wasn’t saying, go print them in the back room. Go make them up. Go stuff a ballot box somewhere. He just said, I only need that much. Can we keep looking or make sure we have them? I mean, he was just kind of rattling something off. Like, I’m only down… 12,000 votes here. But at no point was there any sense of, oh, please go and do something illegal on my behalf to make up that gap. Never. So there never should have been a case brought. And then, of course, when she brought on her boyfriend. And then the whole thing with the boyfriend and the marriage and he was lying and then where he was living and all that came out with it, too. And it was just an abomination, the entire thing. She ran on a platform much like Letitia James in New York State of going after Donald Trump. It was politicized warfare. It was, I will get elected, and then I will go after this guy. Forget all the other things. Forget all the other criminals. Forget actual criminals, I should say. People that have actually committed, you know, crimes. I’m going to go after this man so that we can stop him. And the thing about it, as I know that it was, for President Trump’s perspective, as I imagine for anybody who has to go through this, it’s got to be hell. But it helped get him the nomination and it helped him win. It really did. I think the great miscalculation of the Democrats in 2020 leading up to from 2020 to 2024 was if we indict Donald Trump, if we get him behind bars in some way, shape or form, then what’s going to happen is the party will rally around him. He’s the easiest one to beat and then we’ll win. And even though Joe Biden was already showing very clear signs of dementia at that point, they figured it’ll be layup. Beat him once before, we’ll beat him again. We just got to make sure he gets the nomination. If you remember at this point in time, Governor DeSantis had a lot of momentum. Obviously, there was a sense within the Republican Party that maybe they should move away from President Trump. I read Selena Zito’s book, Butler, which if you get a chance to read, maybe over Thanksgiving break as you’re getting on an airplane to go be nice to people. Because we’re all going to be nice, as my mother would say, be nice, baby. She talks about this. Many in the party had moved away from Donald Trump. His poll numbers were low. DeSantis was on the scene and he was gaining a lot of momentum. I mean, he had his botched rollout on Twitter spaces. I think they were still calling it Twitter spaces at the time. They might have called it exit, but Elon had owned it. And that was kind of a disaster. Then the East Palestine, Ohio train derailment happens. Biden doesn’t show up. Trump does. And he goes there and he starts handing out bottles of water to people. Looking presidential, looking like he’s on the scene. And Selena Zito writes in her book, Butler, that that was really the moment where things started to change. And Trump started to gain momentum again that he hadn’t had before. And then, of course, the rest is history. But from looking at this kind of dispassionately at the time, because I do the afternoon drive show on Talk Radio 1210 WPHC in Philly, so I’m covering this every day in the must-win state of Pennsylvania. And I kept thinking the mistake they’re making here is that they’re banking on a strong economy in 2024. And I don’t think we’re going to have one because inflation is what we’re being told at the time. If you remember, inflation was transitory. So it was just it was here and it was going to be gone. It was just a transitory thing. No big whoop. Nothing to worry about. And I just, I looked at the spending. I looked at the spending in that ridiculous, I hate to say the words, Inflation Reduction Act, because it obviously only caused more inflation. But it was a deal for people that make solar panels and windmills. That’s what it was. That’s what it was. It was a handout to them. It was a green energy scam. I saw the spending, the COVID spending under Biden. And then, of course, the attempts by the Biden administration to ensure that we could not produce any energy anymore. You know, fighting to stop people from getting oil drilling leases, which they have every right under the law to do. And just every bad decision that I saw was just driving up. And you saw, too. We lived it. Driving up inflation, driving up the cost of living, driving up the cost of goods, driving up the cost of energy. And I said, the Democrats here are playing with fire, man, because if they’re so sure that Trump, if he’s the nominee, loses, I think they’re making a big mistake because the issue in this race is going to come down to the economy again. It’s not going to come down to Trump. But I think the problem is in life, whenever you’re obsessed with something in an unhealthy way, you don’t really look at things objectively anymore, right? And their hatred of him and their desire to stop him and their belief that everybody felt the way that they felt. So because they hate him, that means everybody else hates him. It’s like your drunk uncle this coming Thanksgiving who might hate him or your drunk aunt or mother-in-law. Why would I give you that example? I’m just throwing it out there. But the idea that, well, they hate him, so then everybody must hate him. So all we got to do is just hand him the Republican nomination and then he goes down in flames. That was ultimately what drove Fawnie Willis and Letitia James, Merrick Garland, and Jack Smith. Pushed by the DNC, pushed by the Biden and Obama machine. Get this guy. Prosecute this guy. Doesn’t matter on what. The what is irrelevant. The party will rally around him, and then he’ll be the nominee, and then he’ll lose. It was obviously a strategic cluster error of the biggest order, like the mother of all cluster errors. But they couldn’t see. They couldn’t be objective about it. You know, and they’re doing a lot of the same things now. I mean, there’s a lot of the same mistakes they’re making again, this pattern of believing that everybody just hates Donald Trump personally, and they can’t look at policy because of how they feel about him personally. And what 2024 showed is that’s just simply not the case. There are people that they may not love the guy. They may not like what he says on Truth Social, for example. They may not like a lot of things, but they’ll vote for him because they like his policies. And then we have the Russia-Ukraine peace deal announced. Ukraine agreed to the proposal with only minor details to settle. That’s a big deal to a lot of people, myself included. I like the idea of ending wars. I like the idea of not starting new wars. I like the idea of this president being a peace president and the Trump doctrine being peace through economic strength. Basically translating like this. You get rich. We get rich. Everybody gets rich. So stop killing each other. And the only people who won’t benefit from that are the people that have been getting rich over you killing each other, which is the military industrial complexes in your various countries and ours. But otherwise, we could all make money. It’s a very novel concept, I know. So stop being fanatical lunatics and just play nice in the sandbox and we can all make a little casheesh, a little cheddar cheese. And it’s working. It’s working. And it’s a big deal that we now have this place where you had Special Envoy Steve Witkoff helping russia now essentially present the peace plan to ukraine and then presenting that to president trump It’s a very big deal. We’ll talk about that throughout the show today. But the mistake that the Democrats are making, and you see this with the seditious six, as they’re known, these Democrats who put out that video saying defy an illegal order. This was a completely unnecessary video. There was no reason for it. Nobody’s suggesting that any illegal orders are being given. I personally think the timing of this coming out with the movie Nuremberg And there’s some audio clips today of some of the real gems in the lunatic bin actually bringing up Nuremberg. It’s almost like they’re getting paid by the movie studio to just give free publicity for this movie, which I’ve heard is good. I don’t know. I mean, I’ll probably wind up seeing it at some point when it’s not in theaters anymore. But it’s hard. I have kids. It’s hard for me to go see a World War II Holocaust movie. Drama, it’s it’s tough to find with a job and kids I’m just saying and probably wait till it comes home on video but or video right like when you can stream it But the timing of this and it shows you that with their nonsense about Defying these hypothetical legal orders that are not being given and then the backlash to this bipartisan backlash against them they don’t see that their hatred of Trump is causing them to make really bad decisions and And it’s also causing them to align themselves with people like Zora Mamdani in New York and other people who cannot get elected nationwide outside of New York City and blue places like that. So the good news is the case against Trump in Georgia is over. Excellent news. The bad news for Democrats, it helped elect Donald Trump president. The bad news for all of us is that we watch people who so recklessly weaponized Democrats the legal system for political purposes. And that is something that is going to haunt this country for a very, very long time. It’s the Dana Show. It’s me, Rich Zioli, in for Dana on this Travel Wednesday. Don’t go away.

Well, if you’re going to destroy some brain cells this Thanksgiving with alcohol, don’t feel too bad because there’s a new study that says that the brain cells we’re born with come pre-programmed. Challenging the century-old blank slate theory. You know, this idea that you’re born a blank slate and then we fill it with nonsense. Apparently, according to a study, lab-grown human brain cells spontaneously organize into precise firing sequences without any sensory experience. challenging the idea that the brain is a blank slate shaped by learning. It’s pretty complicated, but the bottom line is this. It may be a lot more about your DNA than we’ve ever imagined. Your destiny. Anyway. Week-long social media detox actually leads young adults to spend even more time on their phones. I know. Crazy, right? It’s kind of like when you do dry January and then February 1st comes along and you just go, just give me a beer. They track 295 young adults who quit Facebook, Instagram, et cetera, et cetera, after a week. And they dropped it for the week. But then when they got their phones back, they actually increased their screen time by about 15 seconds daily and 43 extra minutes at home each day. And even though depression dropped, it came right back as soon as the devices came back. No doubt about it, of course. I’m a big fan of movies. Like I mentioned, sometimes can’t go see them in the theater. But Rush Hour 4, they’re remaking that for Donald Trump. The film’s franchise is reportedly among some of the U.S. president’s favorites. And Paramount is reportedly going to release Rush Hour 4, Jackie Chan, Chris Tucker, after President Trump personally requested the revival of the action franchise. Boom, there we go. But there’ll be a documentary about 50 Cent, and it’ll be about Diddy, and that’s going to come out for a pre-Christmas release on Netflix. You may not want to see that one as much as the other one, but The Reckoning will arrive December 2nd. A four-part series will focus on the sexual abuse allegations against… Diddy Combs. And that is going to cause a lot of people to probably tune in because they have nothing better to do except football, of course. And finally, Oregon governor declares a fuel emergency after a pipeline leak and warns of rising gas prices, which is weird because I didn’t think that that had anything to do with why prices went up. You know what I mean? From the blue state’s perspective, I didn’t realize it had anything to do with maybe not having enough supply. Go figure. All right. It’s the Dana Show.

SPEAKER 19 :
It is a Danish show on this Travel Wednesday. It’s Rich Zioli from Talk Radio 1210 WPHC in Philadelphia. Great to be with you this afternoon. I tell you, in Georgia, this is the big breaking news. It happened just before I came on the air today. The election interference case against the president dropped. Against the president and more than a dozen of his allies and supporters happened today after the new prosecutor moved for all charges to be dropped, saying pursuing the matter would be unproductive. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee threw out the case less than an hour after Peter Skandalakis, who appointed himself as prosecutor, after he failed to find anyone else willing to take the job. This was after Fannie Willis was ousted. Remember, under Georgia law, there’s this thing where if there’s… If the prosecutor is removed from a case, then it basically… It kind of goes up for grabs in terms of who wants it, but nobody wanted it. Nobody wanted it because it was a bad case. Prosecutors tend to like to take cases that they can win. I mean, I’m not an attorney, but I’ve seen enough legal TV shows and movies to know that that’s the case. I don’t want to take a losing case. It was a bad case. There was never any evidence that President Trump had any men’s right to have the Georgia governor, anyone else for that matter, break any laws. It was really based on just this notion of let’s just create this. And then, of course, the infamous mugshot, which happened in Georgia, which for the president, you know, smartly used to his benefit with merch pictures, still uses it, hangs in the White House. I mean, he’s no fool. He knows that that helped get him elected. It helped rally the base around him. Nobody wanted to take the job. So after Fannie Willis was was out. There’s nobody left. So then this guy, Peter Skandalakis, appointed himself as prosecutor. And he had to. He failed to find anyone else who could take the case. And that was when that happened, too. I remember that, too, because I thought to myself, oh, man, this is this is this is definitely going to be over. This happened back. Let’s see if I exactly when this happened. This was not that long ago, but I think it was maybe a couple of couple weeks ago, maybe last week and last week. It was I mean, it was recent. The Georgia prosecutor forced to take over the state’s 2020 election interference case against President Trump and more than a dozen of his allies after no other advocate was willing to sign on. in the wake of 40 will is getting booted over the affair scandal prosecuting attorneys council of georgia executive director peter scandal lisa’s scan the lock excuse me announced that he would appoint himself saying several prosecutors who were contacted and while all were respectful and professional each declined the appointment and was his job to find somebody to take the case So we got a lot of thanks, but no thanks. Hey, appreciate the call, but I am slammed. My golf game is super busy right now, and I don’t want this stink bomb of a losing case. So then he took it on himself. So now that it’s officially over because after he took it on and essentially now came out and said this case is done, now George is dropping all the charges too. So that’s the end of this once and for all. And thank God. It’s a shame it ever happened. It really is. It’s a shame it ever happened. It’s a shame we ever had to go down this road. It’s a shame that we ever had to deal with a situation like this. But Fannie Willis destroyed herself, destroyed her political career. destroyed any chance of a political future, and she and her boyfriend became absolute fools. And household names for all the wrong reasons. All the wrong reasons. So the judge just issued this decision a short time ago. Quote, the case is hereby dismissed in its entirety. So that just happened within the last several moments. Actually, I think it literally might have happened while we were on our first break. Georgia drops the 2020 election case against Trump. And that’s it. That’s it. That’s all she wrote. Over in its entirety. Scandalakis is the executive director of the Prosecuting Attorney’s Council of Georgia. He acknowledged in his 23-page filing that the case is on life support. An decision on what to do with it falls on me and me alone. Before concluding that the appropriate authority to bring charges was former special counsel Jack Smith. I don’t like saying special counsel. That man was never… appropriately appointed according to the united states constitution which is ultimately what the judge in florida would wind up ruling and saying that jack smith was not a special prosecutor therefore any of his indictments or anything else with the case had to go and then of course president trump won the election it all became a moot point anyway but that was the correct ruling by the judge in florida i’ll get back to that but focusing on this for a moment Jack Smith dropped his federal version of the Georgia indictment following the president’s victory, citing longstanding Justice Department policy against indicting a sitting president. And also, too, after it was basically ruled that he was not really a special counsel. Quote, and I’m going to use the title here for the purposes of reading the quote from the guy in Georgia who’s, you know, now the case is over. If special counsel Jack Smith, with all the resources of the federal government at his disposal. After reviewing the evidence in this case and considering the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Trump v. United States, along with years of litigation, and concluding that such a case would inevitably entail that it would be fruitless, then I too find that despite the available evidence, pursuing the prosecution of all those involved in State of Georgia v. Donald Trump on essentially federal grounds would be equally unproductive. Trump’s criminal defense lawyer lauded the decision, and I shared that quote with you before. Willis brought state racketeering conspiracy charges against the president and 18 of his associates in August of 2023. By January of 2024, the case was secondary to a scandal tied to Willis’ affair with Nathan Wade, whom she appointed as special prosecutor. The two were forced to admit during courtroom testimony they’d been in a romantic relationship. And that she was paying the guy hundreds of thousands of dollars. And they were basically shacking up at his place. I mean, the whole thing was a disgrace. Look, I didn’t agree with bringing this case, obviously. And I think I made that very clear. But if you do bring a case, you have a responsibility to the people that are paying for this case. That you bring it to the best of your ability. That’s your job. Meaning that if you become a county prosecutor and you decide to prosecute. Whether I agree with it or not, you’ve got to bring your best people on the job, not your boyfriend. Unless your boyfriend is supremely qualified, but even then, still, it’s a huge conflict of interest. But in this case, he was not supremely qualified. This guy had basically dealt with traffic court. And then it became a huge mess because they lied and then the money trail and whether or not she got some of that money and where she was when she said she wasn’t with him and where he was when he said he wasn’t with her. And then it was clear that there were real questions around money laundering with these two. And the fact that she was paying this guy, even though he was not the best guy for the job in Fulton County, Georgia, to prosecute a former president of the United States on this very novel concept, this novel legal concept of election interference. To begin with, the case was going to be a challenge for a seasoned prosecutor who knew election law and knew what he was doing, let alone somebody who had no idea what he was doing, but was getting paid, what, $600,000 by the county prosecutor’s office? And then, of course, after this whole thing blew up, she was booted from the case in March 2024 and barred from prosecuting the case by the Georgia Court of Appeals. She tried to fight to remain on the case. She lost her appeal. Now, in the motion to drop the charges, the new prosecutor listed a series of reasons to dismiss the case, including that it could take upwards of a decade to get to trial, with the president not set to leave office until January 2029. Oh, wait till they find out he’s running for a third term. Just kidding. Kidding. Relaxed. The Prosecuting Attorneys Council of Georgia doesn’t have the resources to handle such a sweeping indictment. And the racketeering conspiracy theory of the prosecution isn’t viable. This is where it gets very interesting here, and where I think we could have said from day one, this case was a joke. Well, jokes have an intended punchline. In this particular case, this whole thing was… One thing and that was getting Donald Trump and only getting Donald Trump. So it was political weaponization overt acts such as arranging a phone call issuing a public statement Tweeting to the public to watch the Georgia Senate subcommittee hearings texting someone to attend those hearings or answering a 63 minute phone call without providing the context of that conversation just to name a few examples are not acts I would consider sufficient to sustain a RICO case. Excuse me. Let’s think about this too because the RICO charge, the RICO is what they use to go after the mafia. They go after big criminal enterprises, drug dealers. They charged the president and these other individuals with RICO and this grand conspiracy and then had a subpar investigation prosecutor make money off of his girlfriend to prosecute the case, even though this was a joke of a prosecution to begin with. And names like Rudy Giuliani and others who were caught up in this. Mark Meadows, the former White House chief of staff. And people that had done absolutely nothing. I mean, nobody did anything wrong here. But to argue that this was a RICO case, that RICO, literally what they used to bring down the heads of the five families in New York, like the Gottis and the Gambinos, and then going after Trump in this matter, and suggesting that this was this orchestrated effort. They were all in on this, even a priest. They were all in on this, and the evidence was Trump’s tweet, Trump telling people to watch a Senate subcommittee hearing, Trump’s phone call, and that was it. That was it. I mean, it was bad. The lack of evidence was so bad in this case. But the other tell, too, that this was just purely political was Fannie Wills’ statements throughout. You know, Fannie Wills, from the day that she was running for office to the day that she was elected to the day that she gave this case up. Fannie Willis made it clear that this was always about getting Donald Trump. She said it on the campaign trail. She said it when she was out giving speeches and at rallies. And for the people out there who call themselves civil libertarians, who believe that everybody’s innocent until proven guilty, who believe that the government should not be weaponized against people, This case was everything that should have set them on fire. It should have said to them, this is exactly why I became a civil libertarian, so that I could fight to defend people who are wrongfully accused by their government and targeted for political purposes by their government. Where no crime has actually been committed, but we’re targeting them based on the following criteria, whether it’s race, whether it’s their politics, whatever it is. It’s not OK. And yet it was crickets. They were cheering her on just like they were cheering on Tish James in New York. Same thing. Another person runs for office. I will get Donald Trump. I will find something. And when they get him on inflating the value of Mar-a-Lago and other properties, a joke, a victimless crime where nobody ever said. That they would not do business with Donald Trump again. None of the people were victims. Nobody ever alleged they were taken for a ride. Nobody ever complained. Nobody. Not the banks. Not the insurance companies. Nobody. In fact, they all said they would happily do business with him again. Where were the civil libertarians then? Crickets. But the good news is, here on The Dana Show, on Travel Chaos Wednesday, on Be Nice to Everybody on Plains Wednesday, pre-Thanksgiving extravaganza, the case is officially dropped in Georgia. Finito. Goodbye. Farewell. It’s The Dana Show. Don’t go away.
SPEAKER 02 :
It’s the folks over at Super Beats. You guys are familiar with Super Beats and Human. What makes the story different is where it began. Human was founded… Out of the UT Health Science Center, built on real cardiovascular research around blood flow and nitric oxide. And unlike other supplement brands, human is science born, not just science-ish. Their products work and you can feel them working. UT athletes have used Super Beats for over a decade, calling it their cheat code for recovery and endurance. and you can use it for the same reason, to support healthy blood pressure and circulation. Today, more than 160 college and pro teams use human products, so your favorite team probably does too. And if you’ve seen the human logo on the Longhorns field this football season, that’s more than a sponsorship. It is a signal from human and UT together leading the future of of cardiovascular health for athletes and for everyone. You can pick up super beats at your local Walmart and start supporting your cardiovascular health today. Get on the road to better health with super beats from human.

SPEAKER 13 :
That’s pretty awesome.
SPEAKER 16 :
Why do you guys think you win so many cases? The insurance companies and other companies that we go against know that we’re going to take it to the end, that we believe in the case. So we fight for every dollar and we’re not afraid to go that extra mile for our clients. Are insurance companies like actually afraid of you guys? We don’t bluff. We take it to trial and we are not strangers of getting very, very, very large verdicts.
SPEAKER 14 :
Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan & Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident?

Well, we got some pardons. We got pardons for the turkeys by the president. It’s Rich Zeolian for Dana. It’s great to be with you today on this crazy travel Wednesday. Hopefully, good luck and Godspeed where you’re going and be safe. And obviously, if you’re taking a flight, please listen to what the Secretary of Transportation said and just be nice to people. I mean, being nice is really not that hard. Really not that hard. I just don’t think the airlines make it easy on any of us. I really don’t. They’ve made the travel experience. When they show all those videos of people who were traveling back in the day, When they get all dressed up in suits and everything. It was an experience. It was a luxury. It’s very much the difference between taking a train in Europe versus the United States. I did a trip to Italy years ago with some listeners of mine out of Philly. And I wound up taking the train with my parents for the day. We just kind of snuck out and went over to Venice. And it was just a different experience. It becomes like a thing to do versus here it’s just – it’s like the last thing you want to do is get on a train or in many cases a plane. And everybody just gets cranky because the whole process is brutal. It’s brutal. It really is. And I think traveling in general, especially if you have kids, and I’ve got three of them, it kind of brings out the worst in people. You end up getting just, I don’t know, nasty with people. And you get frustrated because the kids get cranky. And then a kid screaming on an airplane. There have been times I’ve contemplated. Do I need a parachute? I mean, that’s how bad it’s been. I remember when our kids were really young, too, and they were pretty good on flights. We had a flight to Hawaii once to see my sister-in-law and brother-in-law. That was a long flight. And they said, well, give your son Benadryl and that’ll help. And he had a reverse effect, so he wound up being up the entire flight. I’ve seen parents who will buy everybody in the rows around them drinks if their kids are screaming and crying the whole time. And I’ve also seen some people just be so nasty to each other too. In general, it’s just not the best experience. So there is some of that. No doubt about that. But it does be driving. In my opinion, long drives with kids are tough. We drove down to Myrtle Beach from Jersey to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina to see my parents a couple years ago. And that trip was a long trip. And that was during COVID too and nothing was open. So we had to wind up going to like… Remember back then when you would go to a place, a McDonald’s or whatever… And they bring the food out to you, depending on where you were living. Because I had to go through a couple blue states to get to red state freedom. Well, Blue Jersey, for example. And Pennsylvania. Until I could break free into the boundaries. But first Delaware and Maryland. And then finally you get down to Virginia. You’re like, ah, this is so much better. At least it was. I don’t know how it was going to be going forward. But I would just say this. So I’d say that the traveling today, the good news about it, at least, is that gas prices are down. That’s the good news. And that’s the effect of the president deregulating energy. And the effect of that is going to be felt in the economy without question. The question, though, is how long until we start feeling it in food prices? Because that is something the Democrats are capitalizing on, the issue of affordability. And in the next hour here on The Dana Show, we’ll talk about that. and why it is that they’re going towards people like socialist commie cook jobs like zoron ma’am donnie and the president who i think artfully played him in the oval office to prop him up as the leader of the democrats and you know the first rule of fight club is you don’t talk about fight club so why are the democrats not shutting up about Democrat Fight Club. I’ll tell you all about it. It’s Rich Zioli for Dana. Don’t go away.

a loved one. And so when you are facing disarmament because of local or municipal restrictions, you need to figure out what you’re going to do in order to keep yourself safe. And that’s why it’s good to have a diversified weapons array. And Berna can be part of that. One of their newest ones, the compact launcher, small as a smartphone, but it also deters the threat because it shoots chemical irritant projectiles, as Berna guns do, that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. when compared to regular stun guns the berna cl compact launcher has a 15 round shot capacity per cartridge easy target acquisition no recoil and the legal flexibility and this is key it’s legal in all 50 states there’s no background checks there’s no permits there it can be shipped right to your door there’s no tax stamp and if you’re a college kid you know you’re living on your own and you’re too young to actually carry you can still have some protection with the Burna CL. It’s all made right here in U.S. of A. And you can take advantage of their Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale. Get 15% off site-wide. The biggest sale of the year. And that’s only at Burna.com.

It’s the big travel day today on Wednesday. It is The Dana Show. It’s Rich Zioli from Philadelphia and with you today. And great to be in for Dana. I appreciate you being here as well. We had breaking news in the first hour of the show. I’ll just recap it. Just getting here. Where you been? The case against the president in Georgia the fugazi as my people call it election interference case officially dropped and It is over. It is over. And that is a great Thanksgiving gift to the president today and really a gift to anybody who believes in the rule of law and is against the political weaponization of our justice system. So that’s great. That happened earlier when the guy who became the prosecutor because nobody else would take the case after disgraced former prosecutor Fannie Willis was thrown off the case. And literally nobody else wanted the case. And the way it works under Georgia law is they have to essentially get another prosecutor to want to take it, and nobody would. The guy who was in charge of finding somebody took it himself. Then he announced today that he—there was no case there. There was no case to be had. The Rico case was flimsy. He recommended the state drop all charges, and within— Less than an hour, actually, after he wrote that, the state dropped the charges. So that’s it. It’s over. And there you go. The president getting a huge gift this Thanksgiving. Well-deserved, too. Well-deserved. But I just want to say thank you to Fannie Willis for helping elect him president. And thank you to Letitia James. And thank you to Merrick Garland. Thank you to Jack Smith. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Because your idiotic pursuit of the weaponization against him with this imbecilic idea that if he becomes the nominee, then he will lose. Because he just can’t win again. What’s wrong? Because it turns out people can separate the man from the policies. Hey, look, I’m not going to lie to you. I’m worried about midterms because I’m worried about the affordability issue. And I think that people have very quick response time expectations these days. We live in a time where we get everything on demand and we want it and we don’t even like seeing commercials anymore. And it’s bad with kids too. Like I was watching a Christmas movie with my five-year-old and a commercial came on. She goes, dad, fast forward through this. And I said, I can’t. It’s on something called television. But it’s just, we’re at that place of instant gratification. The idea that we have to wait for prices to come down. But prices didn’t go up overnight. And a lot of it was tied to energy. And a lot of it, it will come down because I do believe the deregulation, the reform of the permitting process, getting… getting drilling going, and making the cost of fuel, which is dependent upon everything in the supply chain for the economy. If you’re not watching Landman, I don’t know what to tell you, because Landman’s great. And season two, the second episode, he’s in the car, he’s in his truck, I should say, and he’s listening to the radio, and these guys are talking about how the price of oil is going down, and how concerning it is for the economy. And Billy Bob Thornton’s character is saying, yeah, except that means that gas prices go down. And when gas prices go down, that means that eventually people have more money in their pocket, which means they spend more money on things, which helps the economy. And then when diesel prices go down, which then follows after oil prices go down, then the price of food goes down and the price of everything else goes down. And then the joke is that the guys on the radio are essentially saying everything he’s saying, but after he says it. Because he’s the oil guy and he gets it and he understands all that. I understand that you understand that, but there are a lot of people out there who don’t understand it, and they’re impatient, and they say it’s not… The economy is not where it needs to be yet. And much like how there are people who can separate themselves from their feelings about President Trump in a negative way to focus on policy, there are people who will… Even if they feel positive about the president, they will distance themselves from him politically, or at least… Inside internally on their feelings. There’s nothing really to separate politically in the sense that he’s I mean, he’s a lame duck He’s not gonna run again can’t run again But they but his approval ratings will go down and that trend that has ramifications obviously in politics in every area of life I do think these are going to get better. I really do. I’m not saying that with blind optimism, but I think that the mistake the White House makes, and I’ve said this before, is not acknowledging the pain. J.D. Vance has done a very good job of that. J.D. Vance has done a very good job of saying, please be patient with us. We’re getting there. We know it’s not fast enough for a lot of people. We know that it’s going to take some time. But we… What you can’t do is the mistake the Biden administration did in the first term was to turn around and say, everything’s great. You go to the grocery store, whatever you’re paying, it’s fine. It’s really good. You feel good about it. You can spend a lot of things. You can’t spend what people are paying money when it comes to food and everything. You just can’t spend that. Either they feel like it’s expensive or they don’t. Either they have money or they don’t. It’s not one of those things you can spend. And I don’t think it’s ever a wise idea to believe that people are dumb enough to fall for that. And that’s exactly what the Biden administration did. They just kept telling everybody things were great. People were like, but things are not great. Look at this grocery store receipt. J.D. Vance is very good at the empathy factor in this. And I don’t mean the phony Bill Clinton empathy if I feel your pain. I mean the legitimate saying to people… It’s going to take time. We didn’t get in this place overnight. It’s going to take some time. And a lot of this is absolutely 100% tied to the price of energy, which caused food prices to surge because it doesn’t just affect what they put into the tractor, but it’s also the cost of feed. And, I mean, I’m not telling you anything. You don’t know. But a lot of this is stuff that when people are thinking about, they just go, I don’t know. I was told things were going to get better. Things aren’t getting better. Democrats seize on the affordability issue, obviously, by highlighting all the things you can get for free from the government. And it doesn’t work. And you know that. And I know that. Unfortunately, there’s a generation out there that did not grow up with the Cold War like we did. And for them, even the movie Red Dawn, all they got was the crappy remake. They didn’t even get the original. I mean, they could watch it. And they should. Everybody should. Like, I was watching Fox News the other day. And, you know, the actor who played Ivan Drago. Was on. When Rocky Balboa beat Ivan Drago. In the Soviet Union of all places. And if I can change. You can change. We all can change. That was a pivotal moment in the Berlin Wall falling. And then obviously Cuba falling apart. Because they didn’t have the Soviet Union’s fake money to lean on anymore. And it doesn’t work. And socialism doesn’t work. But the problem is that we’ve done a terrible job. No, let me rephrase that. They’ve done an excellent job. They being teachers and unions and college professors and universities, they’ve done an excellent job convincing young people that socialism actually can work. It just hasn’t been tried correctly. It’s the argument you used to have in college with your hacky sack buddy. He’d be like, you know, it could work if they just tried it right. It just hasn’t been tried right. What do you mean? Like Russia, you name Russia, China, you name all these countries and they’re like, yeah, but they had murderous dictators. But that’s the point. You can’t have that system without having murderous dictators. There’s not enough people to feed. So they got to kill a lot of them to feed them. I mean, I know it sounds harsh to say it, but it’s the truth. That’s why it doesn’t work. There’s just not enough mouths to feed. There’s not enough people to make the money to take care of everybody. But they don’t want to hear that and they’ve not been taught that. So when a guy like Mamdani comes on the scene and says, we can make things affordable for people by making things free. People are like, well, why not? There’s all these rich people out there and they hear Bernie Sanders yelling about the oligarchy every single day, every single day, every five minutes. Every time Bernie opens his mouth, he says oligarchy. He can’t say anything without using the word oligarchy in it. He probably gets up at a restaurant, asks where the bathroom is, and then yells about the oligarchy on his way to the bathroom. He’s literally the crazy old man who just yells oligarchy. It’s like an oligarchy Tourette’s that he has. Just yells it all the time. But they believe this stuff and they believe there’s all this money out there. You just have to go chase it down. And they also don’t understand the concept that, well, people who have money can leave. They don’t have to stay. That’s another benefit of having a lot of money is you don’t have to stay where you are. You can leave. You could go someplace else and live there, even if it’s outside of the United States of America. Now, look, I don’t believe that this country is going to elect a socialist president anytime soon. I think the Democrats may end up nominating one this time around versus 2016, 2020 and 2024. And here’s what I mean by that. In 2016, if all things were left to their own devices, Bernie Sanders would have become the Democrat nominee for president. But the Democrat Party and their process by how they select candidates is very different from the Republican Party’s process. The Republican Party truly is an open primary process. Now, granted, if you’re the president and you’re in power, you can control the levers of that to make the primary a whole lot less competitive in terms of your reelection. And every president does that, obviously, because you control the state party chairs, you control the machine, and that’s… And also, too, the state party chairs and the county chairs, they all want invitations to the big, fancy political events, so they’re going to be with you anyway. So it’s very difficult to beat an incumbent in a primary to begin with. But with the Democrat Party, even when it’s an open seat or an open White House… The superdelegates still control the process. So they made sure Hillary Clinton was a nominee in 2016. They made sure Joe Biden was a nominee in 2020. You probably remember the day they all dropped out on the same day. Except for Elizabeth Warren, her job was to keep Bernie from winning. So she was there with her socialist nonsense to buttress Bernie. And then Joe Biden wins. And then in 2024, of course, a closed convention. Not a single Democrat got to vote for their party’s nominee for president of the United States. Not a single one. It was a joke of a roll call vote at the convention. It wasn’t an open convention. 2028 may change things, though, because AOC, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the heir to Bernie’s mantle, is definitely running for president. She’s got a scam right now where you can get a turkey. It’s supposed to go to charity. It actually ends up going to essentially like her, not her campaign specifically, but like Act Blue or one of those other things that are connected to her political ascension. Let’s put it that way. And she may very well end up being able to seize the nomination. And the reason for that is because there are Democrats right now who are fighting to oust Chuck Schumer. And they’re calling it Democrat Fight Club. The New York Times did a big piece on this. And I actually talked about it yesterday on Fox News. I was on there on America Reports with Sandra Smith. And I was talking about this because. The first rule of Fight Club is you don’t talk about Fight Club. These Democrats won’t shut up about it. And they’re telling everybody who will listen how they are going to take down Chuck Schumer and take down the establishment. And in doing so, that frees up a lane now for a socialist like an AOC to actually win the nomination without the party stopping her. But I still think the party is going to try to stop her because the interests of a socialist don’t align with all of the oligarchs. the superdelegates, the money people, the corporations that all lavish the spending on Democrats, it doesn’t line up with them. And they are wise enough to know that, wow, maybe a ma’am Donnie can win in New York, and maybe a ma’am Donnie like Canada can win in Seattle, Portland, Oregon, Portland, Maine, for that matter. You can’t win nationally. But that doesn’t mean the Democrats are not going to make affordability the issue. heading into midterms, and heading into 2028. It’s the Dana Show. It’s Rich Zioli in for Dana. Don’t go away.

It’s going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do. I’m Dan Morgan. I’m an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan & Morgan, which is America’s largest injury law firm.
SPEAKER 14 :
That’s pretty awesome. I think I saw a billboard of yours recently that said $20 billion won. $20 billion is an insane number.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It’s actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and badder and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on.
SPEAKER 14 :
Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan & Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident?

Listen as students and young adults interview well-respected CEOs on our national radio show, realworldleaders.org, to learn secrets for success and how to use them to propel their careers.
SPEAKER 01 :
This was super interesting, and especially to see that everything can lead to something else, like how cooking led you to be, you know, the founder, the president of a business, and even like your activities in high school, middle school, like led to this moment.
SPEAKER 16 :
Adeline, what are you looking to do with the rest of your life? Do you have a sense of that?
SPEAKER 01 :
No, not really, but I’m exploring a lot of interests right now and I enjoy music and languages. So I think maybe something in that area.
SPEAKER 14 :
Brett, somebody that’s interested in languages and music, you think there’s any hope for them? Oh my gosh.
SPEAKER 11 :
I mean, in our world today, everybody speaks different languages and they work with people that speak different languages, have different cultures. That’s great.

SPEAKER 15 :
And now all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 19 :
Five things you got to know, including this one. You know the book Hillbilly Elegy? That’s a book written by J.D. Vance, Vice President’s memoir. Well, it was also used now for a drug mule. That’s right. Drugs were sneaking to an Ohio prison, soaked into the pages of Hillbilly Elegy. That’s right. 30-year-old Austin Siebert of Toledo, convicted of spraying with narcotics and then shipping to the Grafton Correctional Institute. They disguised it as an Amazon order, and it was laced with drugs, and there you go. So, of course, the central theme of Hillbilly Elegy is the impacts of narcotics addiction on J.D. Vance’s family and the broader culture. Is it hillbilly? The inmate asks. I don’t know what you’re talking about, he replies, momentarily confused, then suddenly remembering, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s the book. The book I’m reading. A blank in romance novel. Genius. Americans were fined for shooting a moose from a motorboat in Ontario. Don’t shoot a freaking moose from a boat. What are you doing? Two American men have been fined a total of $10,000 for illegally shooting a bull moose from a motorboat on a lake in northwestern Ontario. Yeah, that’s, you know, that’s not cool. They, you know, shooting it from a boat is just not, that’s not okay. Meta shut down an internal study that linked Facebook use to worse mental health. Unsealed court filings describe how Meta dismissed its own findings while downplaying the risk to teens. Back in 2020, it was an effort called Project Mercury to examine the psychological effects of Facebook use. They worked with Nielsen, the survey research firm, and then they shut it all down because it was not going their way. I think they thought maybe it would show it was good, but yeah, not so much. And they covered that up, so no surprise there. A thief stole a trail camera in Vicksburg. And then the camera was left on and was recording him and his idiot friend near a hunting ground near Warrington Road in Vicksburg. The 16-second video clip shows a man taken into custody by the Jackson PD. I guess when you steal a camera, make sure to, you know, turn it off. Just throw him there and just do that. And if you have any of those old SD cards in your house, just know this. They’re losing data. So eventually they’re just going to become what we call e-waste and no longer good. It’s the Dana Show. It’s Rich in for Dana. Don’t go away.
SPEAKER 02 :
Our partners that help bring you the program. It is the folks over at Super Beats. You guys are familiar with Super Beats, Human, the… Human was founded, the company out of the UT Health Science Center, built on real cardiovascular research around blood flow and nitric oxide. Unlike other supplement brands, Human is science born and not just science-ish. Their products work and you can feel them working. UT athletes have used Super Beats for over a decade.

It’s a signal from human and UT. leading the future of cardiovascular health for athletes and everyone. You can pick up Super Beats at your local Walmart and start supporting your cardiovascular health today. Get on the road to better health with human. Many mothers face the same moment when they see their baby.
SPEAKER 19 :
So the case against the president is over in Georgia and the death to the turkeys over after the president pardoned them at the White House. Welcome back to The Dana Show. It’s great to have you here today. It’s me, Rich Zioli, in for Dana. Pleasure to be with you on this Travel Wednesday. Some audio for you as well. So let’s start with the president joking about the turkeys that he pardoned and the names he wanted to give them, besides their actual names. Cut one.

Turkey, that’s going to be saved. The turkeys being pardoned today go by the names of Gobble and Waddle. When I first saw their pictures, I thought we should send them, well, I shouldn’t say this. I was going to call them Chuck and Nancy. But then I realized I wouldn’t be pardoning them. I would never pardon those two people.
SPEAKER 19 :
No, no, no, no, no, no. Chuck Schumer, at the heart of what I was talking about in the last segment about Fight Club, where these Democrats are now going after him, try to take him out. He’s the biggest turkey in Washington right now after the shutdown. And what’s crazy about it, of course, is that it was a shutdown for absolutely no reason unless you factor in New Jersey and Virginia, which I am factoring that in. And I think a lot of people outside of watching those two gubernatorial races may not really get the impact of that, but… I lived it. I lived it on the ground every day in New Jersey in the gubernatorial election where I really thought we had a strong chance of winning. The polls were showing it was a one-point race. We had a great candidate. But the shutdown, the impact of the shutdown on the SNAP benefit recipients, and there’s like 830,000 of them in New Jersey, and many of them work. They’re not all just deadbeats. That was an issue that we just really couldn’t factor in. The second was the president canceling something known as the Gateway Tunnel Project. It was going to be the expansion of the rail tunnels into New York City from all along the Northeast Corridor. And the Democrat candidate for governor, the now governor-elect, Mikey Sherrill, played up big time on that, going to train stations, having her people hand out flyers, how the president’s making your commute worse. And so you’re getting already cranky commuters because we’ve been talking about that throughout the whole show. People get cranky when they commute. So keeping the government shut down, going until after Election Day, and then, of course, you ended on the Sunday after the election when you won Bull, Virginia, where you had a lot of government workers who may not have come out for that election. They may have just stayed home. And that was what I think it was all about. I really do. And I think a lot of this is performative in the sense that I mean, they want Chuck Schumer gone for a lot of reasons. I don’t really think it’s over the shutdown, though. I think they were all in on it. I think they were protesting too much. They knew what they were going for here. They had to find a reason to get Democrats who were very disaffected out to vote in places like Virginia and New Jersey. And it worked. The shutdown worked in that sense. Achieved nothing except those two big gubernatorial victories. And I absolutely 100% believe it played a huge part in it. And that’s why when the election was over and they won on that Sunday, they announced the government’s reopening. And they’re like, oh, man, we’re so mad that we had to keep the government shut down and achieved absolutely nothing except winning these two major races. Now, I really did laugh when the president made the joke about the pardons for the turkeys.
SPEAKER 28 :
This is my favorite cut to terrible situation caused by a man named Sleepy Joe Biden. He used an auto pen last year for the turkeys pardon. so i have the official duty to determine and i have determined that last year’s turkey pardons are totally invalid as are the pardons of about every other person that was pardoned other than uh where’s hunter that’s because hunter got the real deal pardon the one in ink
SPEAKER 19 :
He had to because otherwise he would sing like a canary. That was always the thing about Hunter Biden. And to this day, I think you have to realize that was the reason they were able to get Joe Biden out of the race. Joe Biden did not want to get out of the race. He never would have gotten out of the race. He’s a snarky, stubborn old codger, stubborn politician. He wasn’t going anywhere, but they had the goods on him with the Hunter Biden laptop, which, of course, we all know is real. And they knew what he was doing in the White House when Obama was president and Biden had the Ukraine portfolio, among other things, and he was making money off of it. And they knew all this. And I remember when the Pod Save America bros wrote an op-ed essentially saying to Joe Biden, you can go out a hero after decades of serving America or we will destroy your legacy. It was a very, very not at all, not at all subtle warning. We know you’re corrupt. We have the receipts and we will make sure everybody knows you’re corrupt. And God only knows what that means for you. And remember something, too, back when Biden, when they thought Biden could win reelection against Trump and they were working at the same time. This is why today with the with the state of Georgia dropping all the charges against the president in the 2020 election interference Fugazi Rico case. They were going after the president, the current president, the former president at the time, Trump, in every possible legal venue they could. And they were trying to get Hunter off in every legal venue they could. So when they had that first plea deal with all the tax stuff wrapped up in the gun evasion so the judge could not reject the plea agreement from the Department of Justice. It was only Hunter’s own stupidity that that plea agreement was rejected because she asked some questions like, could he be charged in the future for being a, say, unregistered foreign agent? And his attorney said yes. And Hunter, being an arrogant dope, said, well, I can’t accept this then. But at the time, they thought Biden could win. They thought Trump would go down. They figured he’d get the nomination and lose. And they just wanted all the Biden stuff to go away. Then as Biden’s popularity went down and the economy got worse… They realize now that they needed that to hold over his head if they had to get him out of the race, which is why they ultimately charged him again in Los Angeles. And that was over the tax stuff. And then they charged him separately on the gun stuff. And there was not going to be a plea agreement. They would delay it, but it was always there in their back pocket if they needed it. And that’s ultimately how they got Biden out of the race. Otherwise, he would have went down to the wire. But they were able to use that against him. And someday I’ll be proven right on that point, just like I was proven right in the fact when I said Biden would never be the candidate. And I predicted a few days before the debate that the debate was entirely designed to set him up to show America that he could not run, that he lost his frigging mind. And that was obviously the case there as well. So the auto pen stuff and whether or not anything ever comes of it, I don’t know. I don’t think so. But I do think that it’s good to get it out there so that everybody knows. And I give James Comer and the Oversight Committee, I give them enormous credit for raising this issue and bringing it to light. Because while you may not be able to reverse those pardons, it’s good for everybody to know exactly how the president of the United States was not functioning and how the vice president at the time had a constitutional obligation to do something about it and didn’t. Because another name that’s being mentioned for 2028, which I think would be a gift, is Kamala Harris, of course. I mean, she’s polling higher than Gavin Newsom’s oily, slick hair in California right now. She’s probably going to run. I think that’d be a disaster for the Democrats. But hey, bring it. Go for it. And do a Kamala Harris AOC ticket while you’re at it. Sounds great. No, look, I don’t want to discount the effect of Kamala Harris and – or AOC, excuse me, and young people. I think there’s a very strong – just like young people with socialist candidates in general. I just don’t think there’s enough of them. And America is not ready to elect a socialist, thank God. But no, I mean that’s the reality is that it’s the same thing with the policy declarations that Biden issued. The biggest one being the decision to end the export of liquid natural gas, which – If you remember, Speaker Mike Johnson said he confronted President Biden about that. And Biden didn’t know what he was talking about. And at the time, we all just dismissed it as Joe having one of his Joe days. But then you got to wonder. If the staff was going rogue and issuing pardons to anybody they wanted, were they also issuing policy proclamations like you can’t export liquid natural gas? Because the Joe Biden that at one time was smart enough to become the chair of the Judiciary Committee, to keep getting elected senator, to ultimately become vice president of the United States of America, ultimately become the Democrat nominee for president, that guy never would have issued a ban on the export of liquid natural gas when the must-win state in the 2024 election was Pennsylvania. Home of liquid natural gas. The state’s biggest source of energy and source of the economy as well. Never would have done that. But I do think people in his administration went rogue, just like they went rogue with the pardons, because they figured, why not? Guy’s not running the show, he can do anything we want. So that day that Mike Johnson asked President Biden about it and he didn’t know about it, it’s probably true he didn’t. So exposing all this stuff is very important to do, and I’m glad that they’re doing it, and I hope they keep doing it. I really do. I hope they keep doing it. Let everybody know. The days of them covering things up are over. And to that end, we got to get to the truth of what happened in Butler. We need to know everything that’s going on with the FBI, the Secret Service, what we’re not being told. Now, there were rumors the president was going to fire the FBI director, Kash Patel. He shot those rumors down personally. That doesn’t mean, though, that Cash is not on his way out the door. But this is what the president said, cut three.
SPEAKER 28 :
And there would be nothing like it. Are you planning to replace Cash Patel? No, he’s doing a good job. Cash Patel? No, he’s doing a great job, I think.
SPEAKER 19 :
I think that there is still the problem within the Justice Department and the DOJ, which you just have a lot of people there that are still working to undermine this administration. And just like how it takes a long time to turn an economy around after years and years of purposeful but negligent spending and years of just destroying America’s energy independence, running it into the ground, it’s going to take a long time to bring that up. It’s going to take a long time to really flesh out all these deep state swamp creatures who… worked against Trump all those years and are still working against him in a lot of ways. But it’s inexcusable, in my opinion, that we don’t know the full accounting of Butler and what happened with that attempted assassination of President Trump. The fact that they told us that the guy, the shooter, Thomas Crooks, he didn’t have a digital footprint. Then it turns out he does have a digital footprint. He had a big digital footprint, actually. And then all the evidence that was in burn bags. You know, and Susan Crabtree at Real Clear Politics has done an amazing job of exposing all this and how there’s a lot of really lack of morale within the Secret Service over all this because they still don’t have the answers. And they feel like they’re being scapegoated. And that’s not okay. Not okay. All right, we still got to talk about what else is not okay, which is the Democrats with their phony, you can’t follow an illegal order video, which every person in the military knows not to follow an illegal order. But why are the Democrats doing it? I have theories on that as well, and there’s some new information around that as well. Again, the breaking story from earlier in the show today on The Dana Show is that the case against the current president now in Georgia, back when he was the former president, is officially over. That’s right. State dropped the charges today after the prosecutor said this is going nowhere. So great news for President Trump on this pre-Thanksgiving Wednesday edition of The Dana Show with me, Rich, in for Dana. Don’t go away.

I’ve got Dan Morgan here on the pod. Say hi, Dan. Hey, how’s it going today?
SPEAKER 16 :
It’s going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do. I’m Dan Morgan. I’m an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan & Morgan, which is America’s largest injury law firm.
SPEAKER 14 :
That’s pretty awesome. I think I saw a billboard of yours recently that said $20 billion won. $20 billion is an insane number.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It’s actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and badder and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome.
SPEAKER 14 :
So how does someone get in contact with Morgan & Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident?
SPEAKER 16 :
Probably the easiest way is dialing Pound Law. That’s Pound 529 from your cell phone. We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call. 24-7-365. Wow.
SPEAKER 14 :

SPEAKER 19 :
It’s time for Florida Man. Well, in this case, it’s Florida woman, at least for this story anyway. A Florida woman was charged with attempted murder after police said she attacked her boyfriend with a machete during a fight over cell phones. Yes. Liz Frechel, 49, arrested on Friday and booked into the Turner-Guilford Night Correctional Center where she’s being held without bond. They were having dinner at a Texas roadhouse in Miami Thursday night when he reportedly saw photos on her phone of her hugging another man and holding hands with him. He stormed out of the restaurant, leaving the woman by herself. Then he returned to her apartment to give her back some of her belongings. The boyfriend meant to leave her items on an air conditioning unit outside the apartment and then go home. However, he realized he left his car keys with the items, so he had to go back. She had already picked up the items and brought them inside. When he tried to enter the apartment, she tried to shut the door on him. He eventually made entry, spotted his keys on her bed, and then she grabbed a machete and said, You are not going anywhere, you son of a B. You’re going to pay. Then went into the closet and pulled out a machete. As the boyfriend attempted to grab his keys and make a run for it, she swiped the machete at him, slicing his right elbow while she shouted, I’m going to kill you, you son of a B. Fearing for his life, the boyfriend escaped the apartment and ran back to his car. He drove to the hospital. He was treated for a deep laceration to his elbow. Now, I don’t know if they had any leftovers from the Texas Roadhouse experience. I don’t know. And I don’t know the status of those leftovers, whether or not he was able to grab those two, whether or not they’re still in her apartment. And now just kind of rotting in the fridge that I don’t know. All right. Now, it’s back to Florida man here to actually Florida men. Two elderly men ended up in handcuffs after they allegedly went on a scenic nature walk, hoping for a lucky stroll with a happy ending. According to the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office, Special Investigations Division responded to an ongoing complaint of lewd and lascivious activity that was happening in the DJ Wilcox Preserve near Old Dixie Highway in Fort Pierce. Deputies launched an undercover operation to begin monitoring the area. The Sheriff’s Office said that within minutes, an elderly man, 82 years old, approached an undercover detective, exposed himself, and propositioned himself for sexual gratification. And then moments later, another elderly man, 87 years old, approached an undercover detective and propositioned himself for sexual activity. And both gentlemen were booked on counts of exposure of sexual organs. I’m going to go on a limb here and say that they were also taking some pharmaceutical assistance as well. I’m going to go on record with that, too. So whether or not they’ll get charged with illegal possession of ag or anything like that, I don’t know. I don’t know the answer to that. And a Florida man set his own home on fire. I feel like we’ve done this story a million times here on The Dana Show. Set his own home on fire after shooting towards a neighbor’s house, according to police in Tampa. They responded to the same neighborhood on Friday after a man was shot. Investigators are working to see if the incidents are related. They responded to this. Someone had set his house on fire. And he’s charged now with criminal mischief, arson of a first-degree structure, shooting at within or into a building, and felon in possession of a firearm. So, wish the man best of luck on this Thanksgiving. And at least, you know, gets an opportunity now to… I don’t know what. I have a little turkey in prison. I’m not really sure what all these Florida people get otherwise. All right, in the next hour, let’s get into the Seditious Six. Will they be going to prison? As we now know that the FBI is looking into them for their actions. It is the Dana Show. It’s me, Rich Zioli, in for Dana. Big show still to come. Don’t go away.

SPEAKER 19 :
The Seditious Six, as they’re being called, being investigated by the FBI. What do they know? That’s the question as we begin this final hour here on The Dana Show. It’s me, Rich Zioli, in for Dana. Great to be with you on Travel Wednesday. Hope you and your family have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving and you enjoy it. I have some recipe ideas, which I’ll get to as well a little bit later in the show today. So I tell you, you know, it’s crazy to me how we’re at this place right now where we can’t really see what the Democrats are up to with regards to that video that they made. with this whole, you can’t follow an illegal order, but then they also can’t name an example of an illegal order being given. Look, I’m just telling you right now, this was entirely done to goat and bait President Trump. Now, they know that Trump’s going to push back. He always does. That’s what he does. Um, maybe he should have just ignored it. Maybe he shouldn’t have talked about sedition and all the other things and hanging and everything else, but that’s not how he plays. So he is who he is and that’s just how he’s going to be. They knew that he would take the bait. And they wanted to be famous, and they wanted everybody to know who they were, and they wanted to be the new resistance heading into this. But they also wanted to distract from a very important thing, and that is the president’s positive approval ratings on foreign policy. Remember, for years, Democrats ran on the notion that he’s Hitler. He’s Hitler. He’s a fascist. He’s going to bring about World War III. I still remember in the 2016 campaign, back when Hillary Clinton… Had people who used to work in the old, remember the old underground missile silos? And this one guy was like, I’m convinced Donald Trump’s going to launch nuclear global thermonuclear war. So here he is bringing about peace in every area. Ukraine, Russia, Israel, the Middle East. Countries we’ve never heard of before. Countries most people can’t find on a map anymore. And it completely destroys the narrative. Completely. So what do they do? They go down this road of saying, you must resist an illegal order. Now, they can’t name one. That’s the thing. They can’t name one. And Scott Jennings on CNN challenged a former Democrat spokesperson about this. What are these illegal orders you keep speaking about? What are they? Name one. And none of them can, by the way. Cut nine.
SPEAKER 11 :
You said they want them to stop. Stop what?
SPEAKER 12 :
They want them to stop speaking out.
SPEAKER 11 :
So you said speaking out against Trump. So you’re saying that you believe that inherent in the video is that Donald Trump has given illegal orders. No, actually, what I will say about what Abby argues is that they’re just stating a fact. But you’re saying it’s speaking against Trump. If it’s speaking against Trump, then you took the message the way they intended it. You took it the way they intended it, which is that Trump has given illegal orders. And you can’t name one and nobody else can.
SPEAKER 19 :
He hasn’t. And this other guy who was in the video, this guy, Jason Crow, I think his name is. He was one of the guys who was one of the members of Congress. He was on TV with Margaret Brennan, and Margaret Brennan was asking him, this Colorado congressman, name an illegal order. He couldn’t give one. He was on another show, and he brought up Abu Ghraib, the prison torture scandal from the second Gulf War, second Iraq War. And then he brought up Vietnam. Vietnam? Are you kidding me? But that’s the thing. They want us talking about this. They don’t want us talking about peace. They don’t want us talking about the president’s positive foreign policy. They’re happy to be famous. They’re happy to be investigated. They’re happy to have all these people. They love this. They’re raising money off of this. They’re launching political campaigns off of this. Let’s not forget something about Mark Kelly, too. Mark Kelly was a potential pick for Kamala Harris for VP. Now, maybe it would have been better if she went with him and not that Midwestern doofus Tim Waltz, Tampon Tim, maybe. I still think she would have lost no matter who she picked. Even if she picked Josh Shapiro, she still would have lost. But the question, of course, of when guys like Mark Kelly get burned and feel like, okay, I should have been the guy. I’m a former astronaut, military. I should have been picked for VP and then wasn’t. Well, he wants to be famous. And the FBI is seeking interviews with them over this video. What were your intentions? Were your intentions to have the military defy orders? They know exactly what they were doing. Just like with the Hunter Biden Russian laptop letter where they said this is all the chillings of Russian disinformation, all the earmarks of Russian disinformation. They give themselves enough wiggle room where they can say we didn’t say it was. We’re just saying if in case. So we’re not saying there’s been illegal orders. We’re just simply saying that if any are given, well, then you’ve got to refuse them. But they know that. Every member of the military knows that. And they can’t cite a single example. But that’s what they want to do. They want to distract from this. Because at this point right now, according to CNN’s Harry Anton, Donald Trump is at a higher approval rating on foreign policy than at this point in his term versus George W. Bush or Barack Obama. And let’s not forget something. Barack Obama was Mr. Drone Strike. He killed four American citizens with drones. Nobody ever cared. I cared, but nobody else seemed to care. Nobody ever called those orders illegal. Nobody suggested that they at least should have had a trial in absentia. They just decided, oh, they’re terrorists. He signed kill papers, and that was it. And then he gave the order, and they were dead. I mean, think about that. Barack Obama literally ordered the deaths of American citizens on foreign soil under the guise of they’re terrorists, and nobody cared. They’re like, oh, well, if he says they’re terrorists, then they must be terrorists. So then, yeah, you can kill them. Um, okay. So that’s not an illegal order. So then what is an illegal order exactly? Like what is? So then we bring up an example in Vietnam where a guy, a lieutenant gave an order to his squad to murder civilians and they said no. And then he wound up going to prison. All right, so we know murdering civilians, bad. Drone striking American citizens, not bad. Drone striking weddings in Pakistan, what Obama did, not bad. Also not bad. I mean, it was Mr. Drone Strike. Nothing he ever did was bad. But what has Trump ever done? Well, he asked if they could shoot protesters in the leg. Did he, though? I mean, we don’t even know if he really did or not. OK, so asking a question, bad drone striking American citizens to death. That’s fine. That’s OK. That’s not that’s not a legal order. But asking the question, if you can shoot a protester in the leg, that is apparently just even the question. OK. All right. The drug boats. Well, he’s on shaky legal ground, Senator Alyssa Slotkin said. He’s on shaky legal ground. Well, there’s a way around that. You know, Congress should just give him the authorization to take out the drug cartels. I mean, I’m sure it probably exists in all the various nuances of law and everything else. But just to make it crystal clear, have the House and the Senate pass an authorization giving the president whatever means necessary… To take out these drug cartels. And then there you go. Now you’ve cleared that legal hurdle and you don’t have to worry about that. And then they can’t impeach you for it down the road. They’ll just have to find something else to impeach you for if they ever get the majority again. Which they certainly will, obviously. Because these people are just relentless. But there is a movie called Nuremberg out. And I know this because my wife and I went away on Friday night together, and we went to a cute little town on the Jersey Shore, and it actually had a movie theater. And there are not many of those mom-and-pop kind of old-school movie theaters left. A lot of them are just big mega chains now, you know what I mean? And I thought, oh, this is great. Let’s see what they have. And they were showing two movies. One was Wicked, which, of course, I have to take my two daughters to if I go see it at all. And then Nuremberg. Now, I would have went to see it, but my wife falls asleep in movies. She has this problem. And, I mean, it’s not a problem. I’ve got to be careful here. No, she just falls asleep in the theater. So unless it’s like a really riveting action movie. Like a really riveting thriller. There’s a chance she’s going to doze off. So I look at the trailer for Nuremberg and I’m like, I’d probably like this as a history buff. I just don’t know if she can make it, especially after we had dinner and we had a couple glasses of wine. And I’m probably going to pass on this. But I probably would have seen it. But I actually think that the people behind that movie are paying all these members of Congress and Mark Kelly and Alyssa Slotkin. They’re paying them for promotion here. But it was a listener of mine in Philly, this guy, Johnny Cook, who tweets a lot along the show. By the way, you can tweet me at Rich Zioli. I can’t say X me because that’s just freaking weird. I’m sorry, but it’s weird. If you want to X me, we got a problem. But if you want to tweet me like on the breaking news today that Georgia has dropped the charges against President Trump related to the 2020 election interference Fugazi Rico case, feel free. R-I-C-H-Z-E-O-L-I. But his point was that, too. He said, this movie Nuremberg’s out. I don’t think this is a coincidence. I don’t either. I mean, they’ve been saying that he’s Hitler. They’ve been saying he’s a fascist. But here he is making peace. Here he is being called by Netanyahu, the greatest friend to Israel in the history of the Jews and everything else. And that doesn’t work if you’re telling everybody he’s Hitler. So they’ve got to come up with this story about illegal orders. And it doesn’t matter if they can’t name one. They just go out there and say it. And he reacts the way he does because it’s what he does. So he comes back and arrests them all and seditious conspiracy and everything else. And then they start talking about hanging members of Congress. And the White House says he’s not talking about hanging members of Congress. And the president has to say he doesn’t want to kill anybody. And they get back on going down that road versus the road of peace. I mean, what we should all be talking about today is the fact that Ukraine and Russia seem to be, although we’ve been down this road before, but they seem to be now finally at a peace deal. That’s a big deal. But here’s Joy Reid pushing the, well, this is Joy Behar, excuse me, bringing up the Nazis in Nuremberg. And I don’t know if, so she’s on The View, which is owned by ABC, which is Disney. I don’t know if Nuremberg is a Disney movie. I don’t know if it’s the same company or not, but either way, free publicity for them. Cut eight.
SPEAKER 20 :
So, you know, there’s a movie called Nuremberg playing right now, which I recommend to everybody to see. It’s about the Nuremberg trials of the Nazis after World War II. And following orders is not a defense. No, it’s not. So these soldiers have to pay attention.
SPEAKER 19 :
See, I said this last week on my show that I thought this was all about promoting this movie. And I think it’s all about promoting this movie. I really do. I think this is all about it. It’s like, well, nobody’s really going to go out and rush out to see Nuremberg. It’s the kind of thing you probably would maybe stream if it’s free and if you had nothing else to do or you were a real history nerd or something like that. And I’m sure it’s a great movie. It’s about an American army psychiatrist who has to get to Hitler’s men and Heinrich Himmler and Heydrich and, you know, then he has to, you know, basically go down to Herman Goring and get him to confess to everything. And it’s supposed to be really good. It’s getting great reviews, but I, I would, I mean, Russell Crowe’s in it, but I’m still, I still wouldn’t, most people wouldn’t go see it. Now we’re talking about this movie and you’ve got Joy Reed openly pushing this. And she’s literally coming out and saying right now, go see the movie. You know, there’s this movie Nuremberg out there. So I don’t think these things are ever coincidental. I really don’t. I really don’t. It’s Sony Pictures. I guess it’s not technically Disney, but who knows? Maybe she’s an investor in the movie, or maybe these Democrats are, or maybe the studio paid them. It’s a great stunt, if you think about it. And it certainly helps Mark Kelly with his presidential ambitions, as he says he’s not backing down. Cut seven.
SPEAKER 05 :
As in, I’ll tell you this, though. I’m not backing down.
SPEAKER 24 :
I mean, we… We said something…
SPEAKER 05 :
Very simple. Members of the military need to follow the law. We wanted to say that we have their backs. His response, kill them.
SPEAKER 19 :
He’s not backing down. Well, you may get backed into a conference room with the FBI, at least. That’s for sure. All right. It’s the Dana Show. It’s Rich in for Dana as we continue on this busy travel Wednesday. Don’t go away.
SPEAKER 14 :
I’ve got Dan Morgan here on the pod. Say hi, Dan. Hey, how’s it going today?
SPEAKER 16 :
It’s going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do. I’m Dan Morgan. I’m an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan & Morgan, which is America’s largest injury law firm.
SPEAKER 14 :
That’s pretty awesome. I think I saw a billboard of yours recently that said $20 billion won. $20 billion is an insane number.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It’s actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and badder and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome.
SPEAKER 14 :
So how does someone get in contact with Morgan & Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident?
SPEAKER 16 :
Probably the easiest way is dialing Pound Law. That’s Pound 529 from your cell phone. We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call. 24-7-365. Wow.
SPEAKER 14 :
Dan Morgan from Morgan & Morgan, America’s largest injury law firm. Thanks for coming by the show.
SPEAKER 16 :
Thanks for having me.
SPEAKER 15 :

SPEAKER 19 :
Let me give a quick shout-out to Sergio, our man, KURV710, the Great News Talk 710. Our man Sergio also fills in for Dana. He sent me a text. Happy Thanksgiving, brother. God bless. Appreciate it. Great hearing from you. If you are impatient, and I am very, very impatient, it may be genetic, but it’s linked to 212 health conditions. That’s right. Scientists identified 11 genetic regions linked to delay discounting, which is basically this idea I needed the immediate reward over delayed gratification, and 212 different medical conditions associated with it, including addiction, obesity, heart disease, and chronic pain. and all kinds of other things. So there you go. Impatience may be genetic, I think so, but I’m too impatient to really read the rest of the story, so I’m just going to move on. An A.I. Christian singer, Solomon Ray, tops the charts and stirs an ethical debate. You think? Not real. Solomon Ray became the top artist on the iTunes Top 100 Christian and Gospel Albums chart last week. He is not human. Ray was entirely created by artificial intelligence, which includes his voice, performance style, lyrics, and persona. AI-generated music is a new frontier. I am not a fan of this as a radio guy. Luckily, they can’t really do AI-generated talk show hosts yet because we actually have to think for ourselves and think critically, and AI is not there yet. They could do that for… liberal talk like they could do air america with ai you don’t need much intelligence to do it and nobody would listen so you could easily program that but it would be a failure just like air america was speaking of ai by the way a tech ceo has said that the ai world means what is real and what is not real starts to evolve and now changing how people cope with grief by creating chat bots with the personality of a departed loved one Yeah. So you can have this grief bot who basically has the personality of your departed loved one. And then you can chat with it. And I don’t know, man. I just feel like in the future, somebody dies. They will immediately have an AI robot come in and just take their place. And maybe it’ll be better. And this depends on the person, I guess. But first, you have to find somebody. And to do that, AI is changing the game on that as well. And there’s a new thing with AI where it comes into your life now and fools you into believing it’s a real person when it comes to dating. And you’ve heard of the term catfishing. Well, there’s chatfishing where you end up talking to somebody online. You think it’s a person. You think it could be the love of your life. It turns out to be AI. And there you go. What turned out to be love is heartbreak. It’s The Data Show. It’s me, Rich. It’s the only in for Dana. As we continue, don’t go away.

SPEAKER 19 :
Travel Wednesday. I hope you and your family have an amazing Thanksgiving. It’s Rich Zeolian for Dana. It’s an honor to be here, and thanks for hanging out. It’s been a while, so I appreciate being back here. Absolutely. Maxine Waters, who is deranged, obviously. She had an important press conference, and she wanted to let you know what they’re doing. Okay, what they’re doing. She called a press conference for this. Very important press conference, you understand. Cut 14.
SPEAKER 04 :
Thank you very much. I am so pleased that Robert Garcia is here and the mayor is here. This is an important press conference that is being held to let you know what we’re all doing, resisting this low down, dirty, no good, filthy president of the United States of America.
SPEAKER 19 :
I love that bipartisanship, don’t you? Notice how whenever Republicans in the office, the only job of Democrats is to be just the resistance. And then when a Democrat wins, everybody’s supposed to work with that president in the name of bipartisanship and purple. And if you say anything negative, you want the country to fail, right? That is a little observation. I was out in California back in March. I did the PragerU Book Club. I sat down with Michael Knowles, and we did Animal Farm by George Orwell. It was great. Great chat. It’s available now. It was a real honor to be asked to do that. Well, I was there in California, and I love the geography of California. I really do. I love it. The politics are insane, obviously, and about to get a whole lot worse. But it’s just it’s a beautiful state. We were there right after the wildfires. I mean, like right after. And it’s just heartbreaking to think here we are. It’s Thanksgiving and they still have not rebuilt a single home. And they are just railroading all these homeowners and the games that are being played there. And it’s just unconscionable. It really is. Gavin Newsom’s got a major problem on his hands because his record as governor is awful. It’s abysmal. He’s destroyed the movie and TV industry in Hollywood. I mean, it’s gone. People, now they film in Austin, Texas. There was a story. The actor Glenn Powell was in the Chad Powers Netflix show and also is in Top Gun Maverick. And he’s doing a bunch of stuff. He’s in the new Running Man remake, which I didn’t see because I think it’s probably pretty bad from what I’ve heard. But he’s very popular right now. And he said he moved out of L.A. He’s in Austin. He’s got his production company there, too. There’s a lot of guys doing that. A lot of people are doing that. Austin, Georgia, not California. Yeah. Gavin Newsom, with his COVID draconian policies, forced movie and TV industries to leave the state. The high cost of living, the taxes, all of it. The minimum wage, all of it. And it’s been a disaster. And then the wildfires and how they handled the wildfires completely. And I shouldn’t even say wildfires because that’s a misnomer. They weren’t wild. It was arson and completely preventable. Just like the campfires were preventable back in 2017, 2018, that era. They knew that there were problems with PGW. They had to end up paying all kinds of money, not PGW, PG&E, whatever it is, the Pacific Gas and Electric. They had to spend billions of dollars and admit wrongdoing on that. But the mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, says politicians are not to blame for people fleeing Los Angeles. Really? Who is out of curiosity? Cut 13.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, but you know what, though? I think that’s another part of our American culture. Obviously, people in office are important, but there’s no way in the world it should be viewed as the mayor, the governor, Congress is going to take care of everything. It’s all of our responsibilities. So what I’ve always done, especially starting off as a community organizer, community activist, it’s always been about community for me and getting people involved.
SPEAKER 19 :
Um, what? What is that even? Is that English? What is that? Now, first of all, you gotta understand something. Politicians are not to blame. Actually, the policies of politicians are to blame. Because they can make a place a lot worse to live in, and then people leave. And that’s the thing. That’s the part of this that none of these idiots understand. They don’t understand this. They think that everybody is forced to stay, and then when they leave, they can’t believe it. It’s like, you don’t want to stay in this socialist utopia we’ve created? Because it’s never a utopia. Their policies do drive people to leave. They just will never admit that. Because to admit that is to admit that their policies didn’t work. And so when people flee New York City, when people flee Los Angeles, wherever it is, and they leave these places to acknowledge that it’s actually politicians and their policies that drive people to leave these places, then is acknowledgement that their policies do not work. And the socialist utopia fails. That’s the truth. Now, Newsom is going to run for president. Josh Shapiro is going to run for president, the governor of Pennsylvania. He signed a bill into law that is completely unnecessary. It absolutely is unnecessary, but it gives him a lot of grandstanding. And I can tell you one thing about the governor of Pennsylvania. That guy has a fierce social media presence. And you wonder yourself, how does he find time all day to be governor and to post so relentlessly on Instagram and TikTok and Facebook? And how does he do it? The answer is he has a team of, I don’t know, like a dozen people. And it was like a million dollars in all their different salaries. Again, I don’t know for sure, so the governor’s office can’t sue me. I’m speculating. But Crossing, no, Broad and Liberty wrote a whole piece about this. How many people Governor Josh Shapiro has dedicated to do his social media outreach for the office that the Pennsylvania taxpayers are paying for to promote himself as he grandstands everywhere? And I mean everywhere. Including with people he’d like to run for president with, like Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer when he was at the Eagles game, the Eagles-Lions game, and they were both there for that, mucking it up, taking pictures, posting selfies. But he signs this completely unnecessary bill into law, but he gets the grandstand over it, cuts 16.
SPEAKER 24 :
We know that this is an issue that disproportionately affects black Pennsylvanians who wear their hair in protective styles like locks and natural braids or twists. And it can manifest itself in a number of different ways from someone getting fired simply because of how they look or maybe someone getting passed over for a job because of the way they wear their hair. That’s unacceptable. And in a moment, it will be illegal.
SPEAKER 19 :
What if I have a mullet and somebody doesn’t want to hire me because of my mullet? You know, business on top, party in the back. Should that be illegal? I’m just asking the question. And how are you ever going to prove that, by the way? How are you ever going to prove that I didn’t hire Rich Zioli because of his mullet? Like, I was going to hire Zioli, and then I saw he had a mullet, and I decided against it. This is one of those dumb… Problems insert a solutions in search of a problem as they say and that’s what it really is So he gets the grandstand and say that this is a thing I’m not saying that there isn’t a person who probably didn’t get a job because of their hair I’m just saying that it’s not just simply just black Americans who are dealing with this I’m sure people that have Mohawks probably deal with this A guy goes into a job in banking and sits across the table with a faced hat and a mohawk and doesn’t get the job. Should he be able to sue for discrimination based on his hair? I’m curious. And then how do you prove that? Is there going to be a leaked audio recording of somebody saying, well, I would have hired him. He was completely qualified. But the mohawk. And the fact that he was also a straight white guy and doesn’t meet our DEI policies. Other than that, it was perfect for the job. So silly. It really is. It’s silly. We’re going to see a lot more grandstanding now between now and 2028. I promise you that. Remember Kathy Griffin held up the bloody, decapitated, severed head image of Donald Trump? You remember that whole thing? She said she’s lost a lot of friends over her TDS debacle. I think being friends with Kathy Griffin even before that incident would be a very annoying endeavor. Just strikes me as being one of those people that would probably be very annoying to be friends with. I think there’s a lot of people who are comedians who are like that. Very insecure people. Constantly on. Like they never take a break. They’re always on all the time. And you’re like, my God, is this like… I’m paid to see this. Can you just be yourself? She strikes me as one of those people. And you know that she’s just yearning for attention. A lot of these people, actors and actresses are like this, comedians and other people, and probably radio talk show hosts too, always need to be the center of attention and are always on. See, I’m the opposite. I don’t want any attention, and when I’m off the air, I am done, and do not bring up politics around me. If it’s my day off and you come up to me and you want to talk politics, I will politely say, no, thank you. I’m not interested. It’s my job. I got to talk about it five days a week, sometimes on Fridays too. And I just don’t like to do it. And I don’t like to do it particularly over things like Thanksgiving, for example. My advice would be just don’t discuss politics. Just don’t do it. Nothing good ever comes from it. There’s never been a single person in the history of humanity, whoever came out and said, you know, I went into Thanksgiving being a liberal. But after several bottles of wine and lots of turkey and arguing, I have now seen the light. And I have converted. And I’m backing Donald. It’s never going to happen. It can’t happen. So don’t waste your time. That’s my advice. But I’m not going to tell you what to do. You do you. I mean, it’s, you know… I just want you to be happy. I’ve just found in my own experience, nothing good comes from that. Minds are never changed. It’s like arguing with people on social media too. The only time I ever do it is if I feel like sparring, kind of like Rocky when he fought Spider Rico. Yeah, you know you’re going to win. It’s not really much effort, but it kind of keeps your mental skills up a little bit. So if I’m on vacation or something after a little while, I might come back and argue with some idiots on social media just to kind of get my chops back a little bit before I go back on the air. But beyond that, I just don’t do it. But as far as her losing 75% of her friends, I don’t believe for a second it’s because of her TDS debacle. I think if it’s true that she even had that many friends, that would be a miracle. And secondly, those people just needed an excuse and an off-ramp. So they gave it to her. Cut 17.
SPEAKER 22 :
I had some good friends. I will say I lost about, I did, I did. I had some good friends. I will say I lost about 75% of my friends and they never came back. And so I also, okay, I know I’m laying it on thick, but I also became addicted to prescription pills. So I also tried to take my life and I was in a 5150 cycle for three days at Cedars. And so I actually, even though I was a pill girl, I go to AA meetings on Zoom every day. And I’ve made a lot of friends through AA. So I’ve been lucky about like getting some nice friendships going. But that’s why we were joking before about the art of conversation. I kind of just live for that now. I just want to like really talk to people.
SPEAKER 19 :
I feel bad for those people when they’re doing God’s work, helping her with her addiction. But, oh, man, I just am not all heroes wear capes, I guess, is what I can say, because this is, you know, anyway, another grandstander. And this guy, Cory Booker, my senator in New Jersey. He loves grandstanding. I actually have a nickname for him. I call him Count Grandstandula Spartacus Booker and the Tears of Rage Band. Because if you remember a couple of his meltdowns, one was he had tears of rage. Another was a Spartacus moment. He loves the grandstand. He’d also like to run for president. He’s run for president. Got zero percent. But anyway, it’s time to turn the page, he says. Cut ten.
SPEAKER 18 :
because we’re about to turn a page. It is a exciting page to me that the generation that is my parents’ generation is leaving the stage. The torch is being passed before our eyes. A new generation of American leadership is coming up. What an exciting time to redeem the dream. And in the Democratic Party, I want to have a very tough conversation. And I want it to be a competition of ideas about what our party is going to look like. I’m one of those people that’s saying is our party has failed. They’ve made terrible mistakes. And I want us to emerge in this moment, not focusing on party, but refocusing on people.
SPEAKER 19 :
That’s brilliant. I think that is brilliant, actually. The torch has been passed to a new generation. That is brilliant. And why has anybody ever said that before? Oh, right, President Kennedy said in his 1961 inaugural address. Let the word go forth from this time and place to friend and foe alike that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans born in this century. Booker can’t even grandstand with his original ideas. He has to plagiarize other people’s ideas to grandstand. It’s the Dana Show. Don’t go away.
SPEAKER 14 :

It’s been great filling in for Dana today. Thanks for hanging with me. You can reach me at Rich Zioli Show on all the various social media platforms. Hope you and your family have a very blessed and wonderful and safe, happy Thanksgiving. Don’t forget, if you’re deep-frying a turkey like I am, don’t, don’t, it’s got a thaw. It can’t be frozen. Sometimes idiots do that. Also, don’t deep-fry it in your house. I mean, it’s sort of basics. The big story today is, Just kind of recapping that is that a judge in Georgia dismissed the last pending criminal prosecution against President Trump, effectively ending efforts to hold him criminally responsible for attempts to overturn the 2020 election. Now, this is a big deal. It’s also a big deal because Georgia doesn’t have the ability for the president to pardon himself. And the governors have the pardon power. So it was always seen as the more nefarious one. But that’s over now. Great Thanksgiving gift for the president. All right. So have a wonderful time. Steve, thanks for your help today. Appreciate it very much. And be safe. God bless. God bless our troops and all those who are serving first responders and police and fire and EMS and everybody else who’s working tomorrow while we’re enjoying the day. Remember, don’t fight with your in-laws. It’s just not worth it. It’s just not worth it. Just try to enjoy the day the best you can, all right? It’s Rich Zioli signing off for Dana here on The Dana Show, wishing you and your family a happy and blessed Thanksgiving. Thank you.
