SPEAKER 09 :
Google Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Google what they said about those who commit crimes in our city and what they said in our country. They said those who commit crimes need to get out right away. That was their position. So this is not a new position, you know, because in the era of cancel culture, no one’s afraid to be honest about the truth. Well, cancel me. Because I’m going to protect the people of the city. And if you come into this country in this city and think you’re going to harm innocent New Yorkers and innocent migrants and asylum seekers, this is not the mayor you want to be in the city under.
SPEAKER 02 :
Well, I think this is I was talking a little bit about this last night, and I think that this is. going to be kind of a turning point for democrats where it concerns policy and then practicality like our policy and ideology rather because you know with this remarks that he gave he’s saying well fine cancel me then it’s quite different from everything that we’ve seen As it pertains to talk about bathrooms and all this other stuff and Democrats kind of allowed this this whole issue of immigration to get away from them. And so as a result. You know, that’s one of the reasons that they were rejected so harshly during the last elections. And so as a result, now you’re seeing, you know, some of these local Democrats like governors and some of these mayors and things of that nature. They’re having to go out and say, yeah, OK, we can’t do this. I know the National Party says one thing, but this is the reality of the situation. And this is, you know, this is what we’re dealing with. There’s going to be an impasse between these two entities, you know, the entity of the. federal and D.C. Democrats and then the issue of your state and local, because the policies that the federal Democrats that they’re setting in D.C., clearly they’re not going over well in any state. They’re not going over well in any county. They’re not going over well anywhere. It’s one of the reasons why Harris didn’t flip like insanely well. a single county during this last election and i think that they said they keep revising it it’s like super historically insane what she her inability to flip a single or even maintain a single county that they had won so there’s a couple things in that it’s i mean it’s that bad this is this is how bad democrats have foobarred this and i don’t think that they’ve learned I really, I understand you don’t want them to learn because then they keep losing. But I also think that having an opposition party also keeps your party kind of honest. And keeps them in check. And so that’s, I kind of look at it at that end. Welcome to the program. Dana Lash with you. You can listen coast to coast. We’re having some technical issues today. We run a tight ship. We have a nice dedicated crew. But we’ve got some issues. So we’re going to get the live stream up. At some point. Yes, your girl’s still sick. So it’s like everything. You know what it is? It’s the communists, Cain. It’s the communists that are doing this to us. Them damn commies. So we’re working on that, but right now we don’t got it. So you can listen like the olden days, right? Pretend it’s like the olden days. So, and yes, I’m still under the weather, but we’re here. We’re here. Yeah. And a number of other things to touch on the cabinet picks. There’s a lot of rumblings. One of the other things I was watching last night and we’re going to come we’re going to cover the Daniel Penny stuff. And I’m not, you know, breaking news, whatever, breaking news bureau. So we’re not going to. Yes, there was the health care executive that was shot. I think I’ve stayed at that Hilton before, actually, right down Avenue of the Americas. It’s like blocks away from Fox. But we’ll talk about all of that. I mean, there’s nothing else that we can provide at this point that hasn’t already been discussed. But one thing that I think hasn’t been discussed, and I was watching this with great interest last night, was another, this discussion of who’s, it’s SecDef, the SecDef discussion. And there seems to be this, I guess they’re worried about Pete Hegseth getting through The confirmation? Is that what it seems to you? I mean, I don’t dislike him as a pick, but somebody’s, I don’t know who, but somebody’s getting upset. Or if it was involving my dog, I would say pup-set. Someone is getting pup-set about this because apparently they don’t believe that he has the ability to, I guess. for whatever reason, they think he doesn’t have the ability to make it through confirmation. And so that’s an issue that we have to deal with. Because one of the other names that I’ve seen floated is Ron DeSantis. So I don’t know if that’s going to be something that happens or not. I’m kind of scratching my head over it. Ron DeSantis, his name has been floated quite a bit, as you know, he’s a veteran and was, you know, kind of, I guess, frenemies with Trump. They worked together because, you know, you’ve got a popular red state governor and you’re going to have a popular as well. You have a popular president, red president. His name has been suggested by apparently some people in the group. I don’t know. It was a New York Post story. And I’ve been hearing rumblings. I think that there are some in the camp that don’t believe that Pete Hegseth can make it and get through to confirmation. It just doesn’t seem like that’s something that… They’re a little worried about it. And so, as a result… Now they’re suggesting maybe DeSantis’ name. I don’t know how I feel about that, though. He goes all the way up to 27. I think that he’s a solid red state governor, and I think that you have to have a solid red state governor with tons of wins in order to counter the narrative that Democrats are preparing for 2028, regardless of—well, you know it’s going to be Gavin Newsom. Regardless, you know it’s going to be Newsom. So my concern— with that is, who would you get in, even if it were, who would you get in to replace DeSantis? And then would they be a strong, R, red, Republican governor? And then, you know, DeSantis goes in, he’s sec-deaf. I mean, he’ll get their conference. I just don’t know. I just don’t know if that’s something that he would want to do. It was an odd, out-of-left-field kind of proposition, I thought. But it’s gaining some serious steam. I don’t know. But I think that there are some people in his camp that are in Trump’s camp that are worried that Hegseth can’t go through confirmation. And like I said, I’ve only known him to be super nice. I hear all of the accusations as well. But one of the reasons why that I can’t take those accusations seriously is because how many times they’ve abused them. Think back to Kavanaugh. Hell, go back farther. Go back all the way to Clarence Thomas. You see what I mean? I can’t take any of this stuff seriously. Every single time, it’s a dude that the left doesn’t like. It’s rape, rape, rape, sexual assault. Oh, he thinks differently than me. Rape, rape, rape, sexual assault. You know what I’m saying? I can’t take it seriously. So even if there was any kind of serious accusation, I can’t take it seriously because these people have just made it a joke. They’ve made serious cases dealing with assault and rape and all this other stuff or any kind of bad behavior. They’ve made a joke of it. They made a joke of it. And so every single time there’s been a hearing, every single time, Any fight has come up. This is what they drag out, the accusations that they drag out every time. We’re so used to it now. So I just, I don’t know. I just don’t take it seriously. I can’t take it seriously. I don’t take any of the accusations about Hegseth seriously. That’s just kind of where we are. I just don’t understand why people would… I don’t know. We’ll see how it plays out. Are they really that worried that he’s not going to get through confirmation? I’d be more worried about some of these other folks. I’d be more worried about an RFK Jr. Him getting through with the stuff that he said about stuff that he said about oil and gas companies. I mean, he said some crazy-ass stuff, RFK Jr. I’m not talking about the headworm and all that. I’m talking about putting to death the people who run oil and gas. People who don’t believe in climate change should be jailed. I mean, this is stuff he said with his own actual face. The meat around his mouth. He’s vocalized this coming out of his mouth. So I’d be more worried about that. So I don’t know what this means, you know, if I don’t know what this is for Hegseth, but I think there’s a difference, too, between somebody being kind of a male whore and also someone being an actual sex predator. And I really need women to understand the difference here, if that is the case here. which I don’t know. I just, like I said, I don’t believe in any of these accusations because they’ve been abused so many times. I really don’t. I’ve seen it so many times, I just yawn anymore. Nobody takes it seriously. The left has done so much to undermine justice for women and to set women back where you have actual, of course, they deny it when it’s on their own side, whether it’s a Teddy Kennedy and a, what is this, Chris Dodd and their secretary sandwiches, whether it’s Bill Clinton, Whether it’s Anthony Weiner, I mean, John Edwards, I mean, for crying out loud, they’ve, you know, they’ve got a list. I mean, they’ve got a dude who left a chick in a pond. I mean, just say nothing about the guy who got, how do I say this, close but no cigar under the executive desk. Yeah, but there was a cigar. That’s the thing. Gosh dang it, that saying doesn’t really work totally. So I don’t know. I just, I can’t take any of this seriously. I can’t take it seriously. So we’re just, we’ll see. But as far as DeSantis, I don’t know how I feel about that. I don’t know. I mean, do I think DeSantis is capable? Of course I do. It’s just I don’t know. I feel like there’s like a setup, too. Here’s my other. I feel like there are some people who would love to keep the division going, the primary division, which, by the way, nothing pisses me off more than people who have a fetish, who like just discovered politics the day that they were born. And they love driving the divide in the primary. I think those people are suspect. I’ve never met anyone that does half the work that I do that drives that kind of division like that in a primary. I’m just saying. And I hope I sounded as snotty as I deserve to sound when I said that. And a lot of you out there can say similar. I think there are people out there who love driving division because they get a they believe that there’s a scarcity of opportunity. So they got to keep and they don’t want anyone else at the table, including other politicians, maybe who’ve done some good stuff in their state. So they drive this division. And I kind of have a sneaking thought that, you know, maybe it’s some of the people in that kind of faction that are trying to set up this fight with Hegseth and DeSantis and run division out even more. It’s just a thought. It wouldn’t be the first time or the last time it happened. We have a lot to hit because we got some breaking news. We’re watching that Daniel Penny trial. That judge is a fiend. We’re going to discuss all of that. We got some culture issues. I mean, we’re going towards Christmas and it’s in a post-election cycle. Half of you are going to be drunk on eggnog by the time the week is over. So let’s be real about it. All right. Let’s just be real about where we are as friends. You know who we are, what we’re doing, where we’re at. I’m going to tell you, I thought I was going to have to go sit in a corner and eat my ready wise because I was so like under the weather. a couple of days ago and I was like, I don’t want anybody to come in here. I’m just going to sit back here and eat my survival food. I don’t know. I’ve actually eaten it. It’s good. I’ve had some really bad survival food before from other companies where I’m like, well, I guess I’ll die because this tastes horrible.

SPEAKER 02 :
It’s a good thing that you wouldn’t miss it because we’re insane and we’re watching all of it. So there’s a town that got fined because it didn’t celebrate Pride Month. And if you’re like, wait a minute, was this town in Canadia, Dana? I would say why yes. It was the Maple Seripians up to the north. The Maple Seripians. It was a rural town on the border of Ontario, Minnesota and Canada. It was fined for refusing to celebrate Pride Month in June. Yeah, you got to go out there and like sling the salami or something like that to celebrate. That’s what you got to do. You got to actually celebrate. I mean, how do you celebrate Pride Month? You just like physically have the sex in the streets. Like, what do you do? No, you put up rainbow. Shut up. God help me. You cannot have me in elected office. I would be arrested for assault like instantly. They said that the town of Emo, of course, it’s called Emo, Emo, Ontario. It violated the Ontario Human Rights Code. The town has a population of 1300 people, 1300 people, 1300 persons. emo did not proclaim june as a pride month and they didn’t fly the lgbtq whatever the hell numbers why are there numbers now rainbow flag and in addition to the 10 000 fine the people from emo were ordered to complete mandatory human rights training yeah what does that cost to not celebrate We’re coming back to the story. We’re coming back to bookmark this because we are not even begun. Also, we had the story earlier. This UnitedHealthcare CEO, this dude was on his way to a conference. This was on Avenue of the Americas. I swear to you, I’ve stayed at this Hilton. I think I stayed at this Hilton for a book tour. So it’s right there. That’s what blows the mind. It’s right there in the middle of everything. It’s across, it’s like right by Rockefeller. It’s across from where Jimmy Fallon does his show. It’s like a few blocks down from Fox. It’s right there in Midtown. And yeah, it’s Ed Hilton. And he apparently, this guy, 50 years old, shot in the chest. It was 6.46 in the morning. He was arriving for a conference. He’s the CEO, so it’s like his conference. So he arrived and apparently this guy came up behind him in front of everybody and shot him in the chest. And then he got on one of those e-bikes. And went away. He had on a backpack. And, I mean, he looks like, I don’t know, it looks like a professional hit. That’s what they were saying. Like, this is like a hit. Like, this was not something that was by chance, like a chance criminal, whatever. So, they said that the Christmas tree lighting and all that stuff is apparently still expected to go on. Just everybody keep your heads on a swivel. Trump is going to visit Paris for the Notre Dame’s reopening for his first trip abroad.

They’re a little I’m going to break them in like five seconds because I got I can’t I got to have them to see this stuff like up close to me because I’ve spent my whole life staring at stuff up right up by my face. So anyway, but we’re back. Dana Lash with you. You’re bemused to curmudgeon and we’re going to get you set up with everything. But I also want you everybody to relax, unclench your butt because it’s, you know, post-election, right? I know we got the trans whatever thing in SCOTUS. We got the Daniel Penny case. I’m going to get you all that stuff. But we’re going to keep you chill as we deliver it. Because you’ve been through the ringer. I’m recovering from being sick. You’ve been through the ringer before the election. Let’s just do it nice and easy, right? We’re going to do it nice and easy. That’s how we’re going to do it. So welcome back. We’re over at Substack. You can find us there. You can find us at X. You can also find us at Rumble everywhere else. We get to chat at Rumble. I guess they’re all back in it now. Lorraine’s like, oh, what’s up? Like, oh, hell broke loose. That’s what’s up. So we’ve been talking about these cabinet picks recently. things of that nature. And I got to tell you, and I kept thinking about this, and I’m trying to figure out, I got a piece coming out for you on Pam Bondi. I got another piece that I’m working on. Where’s the other draft that I was working on? I had like a couple of drafts that I was working on. One of them was in a cold medicine haze. I’m not going to lie. So we don’t know what that was going to be like. Good luck with that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The other pick that Trump made, he took himself out of contention last night. I don’t know if y’all saw this. The lockdown sheriff, that Chad Chronister, He he’s now out of the running. He’s he’s not going to be he’s not going to be running in running for this anymore. He’s he’s saying that he’s doesn’t want to be considered for head of the DEA. Right. You guys know what DEA stands for, right? It’s the Drug Edible Agency Enforcement Agency. Elephants. The drug elephant ass. I don’t know. It’s like one of those. I’m not Pig Bird. Don’t expect me to be like Aldora the Explorer PBS here with your kids. Not going to happen. So he stepped down. Like I said, I thought it was a bad pick no matter what. Do you know, can I just tell you, and I’m not going to spend a ton of time on Chronister because I’m glad that he pulled himself out of contention. Do you know all the stuff that this guy did? So we focused really yesterday only on the fact that he was arresting pastors because they were having their church services. And, you know, worshiping the Lord is reckless and stuff like y’all could be killing people by loving Jesus. Right. I mean, that was kind of like the prevailing thought in Hillsborough County where science didn’t exist in 2020. That was the county in Florida where science didn’t exist. Natural immunity wasn’t a thing. I bet they still like threw virgins and volcanoes and bled everybody with leachate. I’m just saying. So anyway, that wasn’t the only thing that he did. So they deleted their crowing about the arrest of that pastor. They deleted it from their website. Do you know that this dude was also a major trans advocate? Yeah, big time. He also apparently donated to Barack Obama. Like a pretty sizable chunk of money. He expanded his office’s DEI programs. He did all of that. He based hiring and promotion on DEI. And they also promoted the transgender participation in the Tampa Pride event. And they created a literal liaison office for transgender activists. That’s what this guy did. Wow. And then he also fought against ICE. He would not collaborate with ICE per reports. So he considered himself a Democratic Republican. Do you know what a Democratic Republican is? Nothing. It’s amazing. It’s like when someone says I’m a Democratic socialist. You know what that means? A socialist. Imagine putting glitter on a turd. That’s it. That’s it. The Democratic part is the glitter. Same thing. So he did the drag queen shows while he was sheriff’s office, all that. He would not collaborate with ICE and work with them on detaining and deporting illegal aliens. I mean, I’ve got news articles and I’ve linked all the receipts for you over at Substack. You’ve got receipts for days. You got them all up there. He also was a big red flag backer as well. He worked with Rick Scott on that when Rick Scott was governor and passed it. So this guy is really problematic. By the way, you know how I was talking about how the Hillsborough County there in Florida, they were pretty much like science didn’t exist there. Kane, how long do you think they had these regulations in place? Oh, boy. About the lockdown stuff. How long do you think those regulations were in place?
SPEAKER 03 :
Probably just temporary. They said two weeks to slow the spread.
SPEAKER 02 :
Oh, they said two weeks to slow the spread, did they?
SPEAKER 03 :
So probably maybe three weeks. They said that, huh? So another week. So three weeks?
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah, sure, if it means two years.
SPEAKER 03 :
The hell?
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah, yeah, yeah, for real. The first local emergency that they did in Hillsborough County. This is one of the counties that DeSantis had to wrestle with. Which, by the way, I would be like, you know what, blank this. And I would just be going in, kicking desks over, ripping out light fixtures. I’d be done. I’d be like messing stuff up. Sitting there defying the state order. Because he had said, you’re not going to lock down anymore. Knock it off. And Hillsborough County is like, but we love hating science. And they wanted to stay locked down. Two years, dude. Two years. Two years. Wow. Two years. Yeah. And that’s, they’re not, I guess they’re not big science folks.
SPEAKER 03 :
So local businesses and citizens had to suffer for two years.
SPEAKER 02 :
Two years. That’s wild.
SPEAKER 03 :
For a seasonal virus.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah. I mean, I told y’all if you’re not, if you’re just joining me, so I just to let you guys know, I mean, I’m not, I’m apparently pat. I like, I give her a test. I’m apparently a past the, the contagiousness part, but they told me I had COVID. They did a sneaky swab on me. You know how they did it. I went in. Cause I, cause one of my kids had a throat infection. I was like, I’m pretty sure I’m getting the same thing. Just go ahead. I’m like, this is what I need. Give me a, give me 500 milligrams of azithromycin. You know, I can do too. I was like telling him, I’m like, I’m not going to tell you how to do your job. I’m going to tell you how to do it. I’m like, I’m basically a doctor. So I’m telling him all this. And they’re real cool because the doctor’s looking at me like, that’s great. That’s great that you’re thinking that. That’s not what I’m doing. But, you know, Augmentin is where we’re going. And also, let’s just do a quick swab. And when they said, do you want to do the swabs? I said, yeah. And I didn’t stop to think. And then they swabbed the throat and then legit right after me. And that woman had one of them long Q-tips up my nose. I’m like, I did not consent, but okay. And then they came back and they said, oh, you got the COVID. Well, they didn’t say it like that. I say it for some reason. I got to put the in front of stuff. It’s an Ozark thing like the COVID. I don’t know. And I said, blank that. You go run it back. Right. That’s what I said. Like that’s we’re not doing this. But there and I told the dude I was and I and I as I mentioned this to you yesterday, just touching on this Hillsborough County thing. And how they’re trying to get everybody to wear masks and all this stuff now going into the holiday season. I said, it’s a cold. I get it. I said, I’m not stupid. But you realize that this has a stigma compared to like regular colds, right? And he’s like, I get it. I get it. He’s like, it’s not even remotely the same. He’s like, your symptoms is the worst it’s going to get. It’s like three days, five days tops, you’re done. He’s like, you know, and says like the contagiousness period was over, et cetera, et cetera. Because I already had somebody who emailed me yesterday. It was like, you’re putting people’s lives in danger. And I was like, I’m going to put your life in danger if you send me one more stupid email. That’s what’s going to happen to you. I’m on Augmentin and I’m a breathable steroid. Don’t mess with me. It’s a mom. So anyway, they did this for two years. And after the Rona went through all of the What do you want to like the changes and all that stuff and became pretty much nothing but the sniffles. And they still had the stupid stuff in place. So some of the dumbest stuff I’ve ever heard. So I’m glad this guy took himself out of the running. I’m glad for it. But this party, I’m telling you. With. as we’re dealing with our cabinet nominees, I think it makes it even more important to have nominees that don’t just look the part and don’t just fit a narrative, but actually will put on steel-toed boots and go in there and get it done. Imagine if all the people who came to vote the way they did this last election watched all of the stuff that they voted for actually come to fruition in D.C. So, The generational change hasn’t actually totally happened yet. That’s going to happen with action in D.C. So if he gets really good people in there that can actually get the job done, then you’re going to cement a generational change and shift in the parties. But I’m warning you, if you do not. If he picks weak nominees. If he picks people that are more interested in clout chasing and getting a Fox contributor deal and a book deal with Regnery or something after all this, if he doesn’t have people in these positions that are going to deliver, you are going to build resentment in these new voters unlike anything you’ve ever seen. They’re going to feel like they were had and you’re not going to get them back. So you got to be real careful with this stuff. That’s one of the reasons why I’m so hardcore on these nominees. And it doesn’t matter to me who’s in the office. It doesn’t matter if I like people or not. I actually and I can say I personally know the president of the United States and I have for over a decade. I know his whole family. I just don’t crow about it. And I don’t like put photos out everywhere because I’m not a kisser. I’ve never been. And he’s always been very kind. And I don’t agree with him on everything, but he’s always been very kind. That said, I don’t care who’s in the office, and you can’t either. You can’t afford to be so invested in who’s in the office that you will not say, wait a minute, this isn’t what I voted for. You have to be willing to say that, not just for your own benefit, but for the success of the administration, too. Think about the damage you could do to the left by cementing this generational change, by delivering on all of these campaign issues. Holy cow. They’re not the party of the working class anymore. Now think about it. You grew up, I grew up hearing that. Like the Democrats were the working class party, right? Can you say that anymore? When I say Democrat to you, when I say, oh, who’s the typical Democrat voter? Who do you think of? Honestly, stop yourself for a moment. I know it flashed in your head. You think of the humanities college professor, right? That wears Birkenstocks and drives an old Volvo. I swear to you, you did. You that popped into your head. You did not think of nobody even thinks of union workers first anymore. You think of the freaks. You don’t think of like the regular average everyday people. You think of the freaks first. That’s who you think of. You think of the pink haired jiggly poops that are out there screaming about, you know, their abortions and all that. That’s who you think of when you when I say Democrat. That party’s branding now. They are so far removed from what we grew up knowing them as. It’s wild. How do you get that back? You can’t unless you pretty much abandon your original entity. Republicans are now the working class. Not only are they the working class party, but they… How do I say this? And this is another thing I’m working out in a piece. Does it seem like they got a glow up? Democrats, the relationship that they had with the working class was almost one of tolerance. Whereas the way that it’s approached, discussed and marketed by the right, it is almost it’s like reverence. Right. Think about the dirty jobs, the micro stuff. And then when you hear them, when you hear people on the right, not even hardcore Republicans, just people like. who for practical reasons and common sense reasons, they tended to vote Republican. Think about how they view and talk about working class. And then when you hear people like Jerry Nadler talk about, well, we got to have somebody pick our fruit and all this stuff. They it’s almost like they don’t bestow upon the practice of work the full dignity it deserves on the left. And I’ve noticed that there has been a huge shift in the in the in the. perspective of work it is celebrated it is given dignity on the right and it’s it’s cool whereas the left treated it like european nobles oh my gosh you have to work that’s so dirty you’re supposed to be part of the leisure class and live off of uh your rent from your from your land and our feudalism that’s how they viewed it It’s way different. There’s a huge psychological change here that all plays into this. I’m telling you, you made good on these promises. Man, Democrats won’t. You will not see Democrats with major wins like that in our lifetime. Again, you won’t. So that’s why it’s important to make sure that these picks are good. Preborn is a great organization and they help women who are facing a difficult time. situation. Maybe it’s an unplanned pregnancy. Well, it’s an unplanned pregnancy.

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States.
SPEAKER 10 :
Questions? Yes.
SPEAKER 11 :
Do you agree with some of your Democrat colleagues to see that President Biden’s pardon of Hunter Biden was wrong or unwise? It’s personal interest ahead of duty.
SPEAKER 10 :
I got nothing for you on that.
SPEAKER 02 :
I don’t got nothing for you on that. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you.
SPEAKER 03 :
He was asked like several different ways and his answer was the same. I got nothing for you on that.
SPEAKER 02 :
That’s like one of my favorite things that reporters do when they, especially if it’s like Peter Doocy doing it, because it’s one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. They’ll be like, yeah, so tell us, why is the president not going to be here today? It’s like random question. Why is he not going to be here today? Oh, well, you know, he’s doing some things and makes him. So why is it that he is not physically present? Walking around here hanging out? Well, Peter, because like a million different ways. I do like it. It is kind of funny. So I saw a thing. Josh Hawley was saying that his meeting with Pete Hegseth was canceled. It’s a CNN reporter who said it, but it wasn’t one of the bad CNN reporters. Right. He’s kind of middle of the road. So just going to put that out there. I thought that was an interesting marker. That’s one of the things that we’re going to watch here coming up. Because I feel like if there’s going to be something that happens, if there’s going to be a change or something, that it would happen. I think today is kind of, you know, what I’m getting out of it. But we’ll see. There’s also, I think Trump also picked, what, a pro-crypto guy, Paul Atkins, to replace Gary Gensler’s SEC chair. So that kind of gets into the weeds a little bit. But yeah. Some movement happening. We have our second hour on the way. The latest with the Supreme Court case, the arguments over trans issues. Stick with us. It’s our friends over at Caltech, the P15. It stands for 15 pews. Standard capacity. That might be a little bit more for the people who have weak arm muscles. I don’t know. But Caltech is a great company, a Florida-based company. And they have a lifetime warranty on everything that they do. They are the inventors of the microcompact pistol category. They have two versions, metal frame polymer as well. Metal frame has a gorgeous walnut wood panels, textured grips. You get the polymer gator grip for a true classic look and feel. Just they’re great pistols. They come with two magazines. One is the standard 15 round, minimal pinky extension. The other more concealable even. Flesh fit double stack mag that holds 12. It’s the lightest, thinnest double stack 9mm on the market. I mean, it’s just, you know, there’s no bones about it. Quality made right here in the U.S. of A. Innovation, performance, and Kel-Tec. Only at Kel-Tec. Learn more at keltecweapons.com. Ask about the P-15. Again, you’ve got the metal frame and the polymer version. You’re going to like it. It doesn’t matter if you’re a seasoned pro or you’re just looking for another EDC. It’s the P-15 at Kel-Tec. Kel-TecWeapons.com. That’s K-E-L-T-E-C-Weapons.com. Tell them Dana sent you. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. We’re at the top of the second hour. on this beautiful December Wednesday. And of course, you can follow along over at Substack, chapter and verse. You can find us at Rumble where the chat happens. You can also find us on X, etc. I’m still under the weather. I’m recovering. So if I’m like sniffly or whatever, just go along with it. I have nowhere else to go. It’s me and you right here. No prompter, no nothing for three hours. Actually now two because we went through one. So kind of scares Cain sometimes. We’ve been talking about a lot of the cabinet picks, which we’re going to get back to, but they’re having right now, Supreme Court, these arguments. The Supreme Court’s hearing these arguments on trans issues. It’s already gone up this much. It’s already already made it up to SCOTUS. And I mean, I’ve just been kind of looking at some of the Some of the arguments that they’ve been… Because right now it’s just you’re hearing oral arguments and that’s pretty much kind of it. They are… It’s this challenge to the state of Tennessee, their ban on treatments for transgender youth. I’m trying to get the correct… It’s about the trans treatments, trying to get the correct statements out. And the thing is, is that the… The divide, at least initially, and again, you can only get what court reporters publish because you’re not, you know, you don’t have cameras in there. But it seems to hinge on how the more conservative members of the court do not believe that denying someone or telling a child that they cannot get this irreversible surgery, etc., that they don’t believe it’s a form of sex discrimination, whereas the more progressive justices on the court do. So we will see where this goes and how these arguments end up playing out because that’s something that SCOTUS, they’re weighing this. They’re weighing these treatments and the youth and all of that right now. Of course, we’re also watching the Biden administration whittle down to nothing. As they get ready for this January transfer of power, we were talking about some of the cabinet selections from POTUS. There was this thing going around where they’re suggesting that Pete Hegseth—and I’ve been hearing this rumor from some pretty well-placed folks— I don’t know if I necessarily believe it or not. And I don’t know what I think of it. Having Hegseth be the Trump administration considering swapping him out with DeSantis. Now, I’m of a couple of different minds on it. I don’t know if I like it. And I actually like DeSantis. I think DeSantis is a more steady hand with executive leadership, obviously, than Hegseth. Not to say that Hegs doesn’t have his own qualities, but in terms of leadership and running things at this executive level, my gosh, it’s seen us all day long. But why for this? Right. Why? Why now? It’s kind of weird. I don’t know what I’m always suspicious of everybody and everything. So I don’t know if this is people that are continuing the primary division and they’re trying to get people angry at DeSantis over something. Or maybe the people in the Trump camp are trying to set him up. I don’t know. I have no idea. Maybe he doesn’t even want it. Who? I don’t know. But it just seems weird. I think maybe let the Hegseth stuff play out. He says he’s not going to step down. They’re going to shred him in confirmation hearings, just like they do with anybody. But they’re going to really shred him because it’s a DOD. And they were using this example of his mom sending him an email, which I think is crappy to do, by the way. His mom sent him an email reading him the riot act because of the way he treated a girl. And they tried to use that in the court of public opinion against him. I think that when you have to go and use people’s family and you try to point them against each other, that is so lame. And that speaks more volumes about the people using such a tactic than the people against which they are using the tactic. That’s lame to try to pit families against each other. I mean, if you can’t make your argument against his confirmation or nomination better than that, then STFU, sit down, do the world a favor. Do not pollute general discourse with your fecal opinion. Nobody needs to hear it. Nobody wants to hear it. I get so aggravated over this stuff. Even if I dislike the person that they’re doing it to, I get mad because it’s just such a lame tactic to use. Oh, his mom sent him an email. What mom has not dressed down her son at one point in his life? One mom has not dressed down her son at one point in his life. That’s like a thing, right? It’s like what mom hasn’t had it out with her teenage daughter. Same thing. Stop it. This is so dumb to try to say, well, look at this, his own mom. You’re misrepresenting it. You’re making it personal. And you lost the argument at that point. I don’t know. But we’ll see. But I saw that it was apparently CNN was saying that Josh Hawley told them that his meeting with Hegseth tomorrow had been canceled, but he didn’t know why. It would have been Hawley that canceled it. That would have been somebody else. So I don’t know. There are a lot of people that are getting picked from Florida, which shows you the significance of Susie Wiles as his chief of staff, Trump’s chief of staff, her influence in his orbit, because she’s going with what she knows. And so she’s picking tons of people from Florida because she came up in Florida. So that’s kind of interesting. But the Hegseth thing, I don’t know. We’ll wait and see. But he would have to go through the confirmation process. And I can’t imagine. I just think this is why if there’s any hesitation about somebody getting through the process because of things that they did. And I’m not saying this about Hegseth. More really along the lines of Gates. Because of something they did and not something that’s reflective upon you. I just maybe think that you should make a better pick. But as far as Hexeth goes, this seems to be again, it seems like even if it’s true, I don’t believe it because I’ve been duped by the left. They try to do not. I haven’t. But they’ve lied to you a million times. They’ve lied to me a million times. They try to me, too. They’ve tried to all of that stuff. And after the way that they went on about Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings, none of us are ever. That was a that was a transformational moment for a lot of people in politics. For some, it was the Clarence Thomas 2.0 moment. A lot of people, particularly young men back in, what, the 80s, were really not radicalized, but they had their suspicions confirmed after they saw the way that the left, led by Joe Biden at the time, in the Senate, by the way. He was one of the biggest jerks about it. The way that they went after Clarence Thomas and they tried to discredit him, it was pretty wild. So this is, you know, we’ll see, you know, how this goes. But, you know, the Kavanaugh thing was pretty transformational. And I don’t think that the left wants to set itself up with another similar situation where the guy is wholly vindicated because they are so nuts. But we’ll see. But the DeSantis thing, it looks like there might be some chess at work here. And I don’t know. I just I’m of a lot of thoughts about it. So we’ll see. So some of the other things, too, I want to make sure that we’re touching on. We’ve got, like I said, the SCOTUS, they’re looking at the ban on the sex reassignment stuff. That was a Tennessee law for that. I want to come back to the story. We just had a briefly in headlines. And thankfully, this is Canada and not the United States. But the headline is the town was fined because they refused to celebrate Pride Month. It’s a town of 1300 people. So it’s a small town, the town. Interestingly enough, it is named Emo. It’s in Ontario. And they violated the Ontario Human Rights Code that the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario established. And they said that their great offense. I mean, when you think that somebody violated just pause for a minute. When you hear that somebody violated like some kind of human rights code, you think, wow. That sounds pretty serious, right? I mean, human rights? Super serious. What did they do? Oh, it says here that they, in the month of June, did not proclaim that month Pride Month. I’m sorry, what? Oh, and they also were cited because they did not, they had failure to fly an LGBTQ2 whatever, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, rainbow flag. It’s a $10,000 fine, excuse me, and all of the officials in EMO are required to complete mandatory human rights training. See. Yeah, Cain, what’s your question?
SPEAKER 03 :
Who do they pay it to? Like the fine? I don’t know, the gays?
SPEAKER 02 :
I don’t know. The article doesn’t actually say.
SPEAKER 03 :
The city has to pay the city? Like, what?
SPEAKER 02 :
They got a fine. Ontario, maybe? Like the province of Ontario?
SPEAKER 03 :
So they chose not to celebrate.
SPEAKER 02 :
Well, it’s not that they didn’t celebrate. They just were like, we’re not going to put up these tacky flags. Right. Because they are tacky.
SPEAKER 03 :
But they didn’t celebrate to the standard of whoever’s criticizing them.
SPEAKER 02 :
Well, I mean, if your question is, did they have a parade and fly the flags and send everyone out in leather dominatrix gear with ball gags, like the gimp from Pulp Fiction, to go out and have like a full-on, you know… painting pictures a street festival of sexcapades then you’re correct they did not do that there were no street sexcapades celebrating pride over how you choose to do it behind closed doors and that costs money I mean, where’s the, like, you can have pride. Pride is a sin, by the way. So I think it’s ironic that they’re being fined for not celebrating literal sin, which is pride. But whatever. But why is that a thing? Like, why do you got, oh, if you didn’t fly the flag, you didn’t affirm how someone has to sex. It’s Canada, so they’re not going to fight it. They’re going to probably apologize and offer some maple syrup. I don’t know. The maple leaf people up there. Oh, hey, we’re so sorry. We forgot to fly the flag.
SPEAKER 03 :
But are they paying the federal government? Are they paying?
SPEAKER 02 :
Well, I don’t know. It’s probably Ontario. It’s probably I don’t know. It’s the Ontario people. I don’t know. I don’t know who these people are. The Canadians up there. They issue fines because somebody didn’t fly. The town was asked to fly the alphabet rainbow flag for a week of your choosing.
SPEAKER 03 :
I choose no weeks. There’s my choosing.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah. Yeah, you didn’t say I had to choose a week. So the language part is on you, Slick.
SPEAKER 03 :
I think there’s some legal wiggle room here.
SPEAKER 02 :
I mean, where are the straight people flags at? Right. Where’s that at? What do we get?
SPEAKER 03 :
It’s just the Canadian flag.
SPEAKER 02 :
I mean, I just don’t think that you’re going to be appropriating the rainbow, first off. That’s appropriation, and I was told that was wrong. So you’re appropriating the rainbow from the Christians. So let’s stop there. Let’s stop. That’s taken from Noah’s time. So come up with your own thing. We got to have a straight person’s flag then. And then do you get like the straight person two, four spirit, whatever? Or what about the straight person flag? And then don’t you get like an extra buff that goes along with it? Like spaghetti and meatballs, the straight person or this straight person can successfully eat edamame if it’s three beans in without having to take two bites. Like how particular does it get?
SPEAKER 03 :
I’m a medium rare steak flag.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah, like the well-done people? Out. Get out. You can’t live in America. I don’t care if you were born and raised here six generations. We’ll deport you somewhere.
SPEAKER 03 :
Don’t bring that well-done flag over here.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah, no well-done nothing. Well-done is only for jobs, not meat. So, I don’t know. Oh, so they said that there’s a group called the Borderland Pride Group. Which sounds like a bunch of terrorist twinks. I’m going to be honest with you. So I just love it. They’re very upset. They said in a single 12-month period, they did not see a single week where the flag was flown. They said that Emo ignored their repeated requests, so they got mad about it. And they said that they need to take Human Rights 101. I think I’m going to lead a human rights course. I’m going to offer it on the Internet. I’m going to offer a human rights course. So if someone offends you, you punch them. Joking. I just this stuff is so dumb. And then I get mad because I’m like, why didn’t I get into this? I would love to just fleece the left. Right. I could I could make it up and make up a company. Right. Go in there and I’m going to offer you human rights courses. Now, here’s the just make it ridiculous. And they’ll go along with it because they’re the left. They’re too terrified to be seen as going against the grain. The desire to be so homogenous has killed any desire for individuality at all. So they are terrified. They’re terrified to poke a head up. No, they got to go with it. So I feel like that would, you know, no one would ask anything, Cain, because then I could be like, are you assuming all of these things about me? What? And then, oh, no, they don’t want to be offended. And then we could also form an ancillary like Human Rights Council that we can cite people and then just pay ourselves. Yeah. from the fines.
SPEAKER 03 :
It sounds like you’re trying to make government bigger.
SPEAKER 02 :
It sounds like I just came up with a damn great job and that’s what it sounds like. Look, I’m a capitalist. If I can make money off of somebody’s stupidity like that on the left, I’m all for it. High fives. High five and all the angels.

So the house where JonBenet Ramsey was murdered still can’t sell after 16 years on and off the market. It’s a creepy little gingerbread-looking house. They said that it’s the sprawling Tudor mansion, and it’s become a real estate pariah. And, I mean, it’s $6.9 million. And they dropped it by almost $1 million seven months later, and still nobody was coming to buy it. And they keep having to… they keep having to take it off the market i mean yeah that’s kind of they found remember they found her body and went in the basement a rarely used room down in the basement so i don’t know it’s just i wouldn’t i don’t think i’d want right i don’t think i’d want to no um a man’s male copulatory organ was completely ruined after a doctor gave him an unnecessary injection for erectile dysfunction. He’s now going to get over $400,000 for his trouble. No, $412,000. Sorry. Yes, that’s right. $412 million for his trouble. Is it worth it? $412 million. Yes, you’re correct. Is that really worth the cost? Is it, though? Who’s paying that money? The hospital? Yeah. That’s a lot. Stick with us. We’ve got more in store. It’s the folks over, it’s new to the program, Burn a Gun. That’s the non-firearm firearm. And Burn a Gun is a good option to have to diversify what you use for self-defense. And it’s ideal for environments where guns are banned. I mean, think about it. I mean, there’s, I would love to, I always tell people to carry, I have no problem using lethal force, but At the same time, because of the nature of my work, I sometimes have to go to places where I’m not allowed to by the property or the municipality to carry there. But, you know, I can have my burn a gun, my non-firearm firearm. No waiting periods, no background checks. It’s legal in all 50 states and it shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can disable threats. from up to 50 feet away and it has a five round capacity and that’s when you compare that to stun guns where you got one or two shots you have a lot more options for self-defense it’s quick deployment easy target acquisition no recoil and so if you’re prevented from carrying always have some kind of option as a backup and this is where burn a gun comes in legal in all 50 states and it’s an effective deterrent.

SPEAKER 02 :
Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you at the bottom of this second hour. And the Supreme Court looks like they’re leaning towards upholding those restrictions that the state of Tennessee has as it pertains to. the trans surgeries and things. I’m not calling it gender-affirming care because it’s a stupid, made-up phrase that is used by people to mislead others on the true issue at being debated. So I don’t know. It just looks… Looks like that’s the way that they’re leaning, according to a lot of the court reporters and people that watch SCOTUS. And in addition, I guess they asked Hegseth once again whether or not he’s going to or he would withdraw from SecDef consideration, and he said no. So, interesting. That’s why I’m just sitting back watching all these people talk and… You know, just a little interesting, just a little odd, just saying, just watching all the rumors come out about this. But the Supreme Court, though, that’s good news, indeed, that at least is where they’re leaning. I mean, the idea that you’re going to sterilize someone, especially if they’re minors, before they’ve even fully matured, before their brains have even fully developed, that you are going to sterilize them. make them live in a way that requires medication for life and call that quote unquote gender affirming care is one of the most evil things I can think of. It’s truly evil. And that’s what’s, that’s what’s being done. So I just, you know, That’s what they’ve been in Tennessee, wanted to pass restrictions against it. And that’s what they’re fighting about right now. That’s what they’re hearing these arguments for in Supreme Court right now as it pertains to Tennessee. And I mean, I don’t know how you can have people like Ketanji Brown Jackson be on the court and adjudicate this. Because she can’t even define what a woman is. And if you’re not able to define what a woman is, how are you able to then present a decision on this issue? This is where the ideology meets practicality. How do you then determine that you’re going to adjudicate an issue and you can’t even define the terms involved in it? You see how dumb this is? Like, sorry, ma’am, but you can’t define what a woman is. How are you, I’m just going to say, how are you going to, how are you going to do this? So a few other things. The, I mentioned Hegs, that’s just a bit ago. There’s a piece that came up on NBC. And they’re, they tried to hit him with an email with his mom. Now they’re saying that 10 current and former Fox employees say that he drank in ways that concerned his coworkers. Other people said it was false. They said that there were a dozen occasions during his time when he co-hosted Fox and Friends Weekend, which people would smell alcohol on him before he went on air. And they would say that he’d talk about being hungover as he was getting ready on set, etc. How old is he? He’s like 40-something years old. I don’t know. And also, yeah, I don’t believe any of these people. I don’t believe any of these people. They said that he was intoxicated acting in his official capacity report while he was president of Concerned Veterans from America to the point of needing to be carried out of organizations events. And this was what the New Yorker wrote. If you want to believe the New Yorker, the New Yorker is pretty left leaning. And so if you’re a left leaning entity and you’re trying to dig up dirt on somebody, who are you going to talk to? Are you going to talk to conservative people? Are you going to talk to left leaning people? It’s like a game of confirmation bias. So that’s who they were. They were in this. And then in addition to this, they’re also they’re trying to argue about his drinking. They also had this thing that said this is a concern veterans for America where they said that he they’re denying this is the trustee of the group. was denied in 2016 that the current defense secretary designee was forced out of the position to do drinking and other misconduct, directly contradicting whistleblowers who spoke with the New Yorker. So this is one of the reporters in the New York Post. So this trustee, Randy Lair, who is a trustee for Concerned Veterans for America, said that, in this, talked about his departure in this letter. And they said that they normally don’t respond to this type of stuff, but they felt that it was important to do so. It was a very personal attack. They said he resigned his position as a result of difference of opinion to the future of the organization. This is from the letter. So that he could focus on other endeavors, including his relationship with Fox. He was not terminated. They said that they work with him through this decision. They agreed that it was the best timing for both parties, etc. So this absolutely contradicts the New Yorker piece. That contradicts that piece. So far, it just doesn’t seem as though the detractors have a lot. Am I right? So I’m just curious as to why there’s all of this effort to these rumors about the DeSantis factor stepping in. Because so far it doesn’t look, Trump hasn’t said anything about Hegseth. I mean, it seems like they’ve emptied everything at him at this point, right? I mean, what else is there? Did he run over kittens or something? Like, what else? What else do we have? Did he put onions in his macaroni and cheese? Did he put nuts and cookies? Like, what else? Like, tell me. Because those right there, disqualifying. Yeah. First of all, nuts don’t belong in cookies. They don’t belong in chocolate chip cookies. Chocolate chip cookies. That’s for chocolate chips. If you want nut cookies, make your trash nut cookies and keep them out of the chocolate chip cookies. I don’t want it.
SPEAKER 03 :
Oatmeal raisin, though, is way better.
SPEAKER 02 :
That’s disgusting. What? I think they’re nasty. Oatmeal raisin cookies are punishment. You know why? It’s crappy breakfast and here’s some dried grapes. Why do you… I didn’t do that.
SPEAKER 03 :
I like chocolate chip a lot, but I just happen to like oatmeal raisin a little bit better.
SPEAKER 02 :
Why?
SPEAKER 03 :
Why do you have to completely hate oatmeal raisin?
SPEAKER 02 :
Because I do. Because it’s nasty. It’s like the nastiest dessert ever conceived. I’m insulted. If someone’s like, here’s some oatmeal raisin. No thanks. I’m not going to eat them.
SPEAKER 03 :
Just imagine it from my perspective. You like candy corn. Yeah.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah. So. Yeah. But when it comes to cookies.
SPEAKER 02 :
Because candy corn doesn’t look like boogers. Raisins do. And I don’t want it in my oatmeal cookies. The end. Not going to lie. Let’s move on. We’ve established this, why it’s nasty, right? Okay. All right. Because it’s gross. Okay. That’s the important thing. So, like, if he liked oatmeal raisin cookies, sorry, but I can’t support it. He resigned from his difference of opinion because he likes trash cookies is why. Immediately disqualified. It’s got to tell you. Immediately. Is that fair? It’s totally fair in my world. I can’t. Yeah. I will never trust anybody that likes an oatmeal raisin cookie more than a chocolate chip cookie. What? I can’t do it. But it means. No.
SPEAKER 07 :
It means.
SPEAKER 02 :
No. You better reevaluate your life’s choices, Cain. No. What is the matter with you? Why do you hate America?
SPEAKER 03 :
I like oatmeal raisin cookies. What’s wrong with that? It’s not that I hate. It’s like if I say I like waffles and you’re like, well, I ate pancakes for it.
SPEAKER 02 :
The sentence was specifically like them more than chocolate chip cookies.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, I do like them.
SPEAKER 02 :
Okay, now we’re back to the original spot. What? That’s the point. No, you can’t be sucked up. Sorry.
SPEAKER 03 :
I don’t want to be sick, Def.
SPEAKER 02 :
Pull in your nomination now.
SPEAKER 03 :
If there was a plate of cookies on the left that were chocolate chip, cookies on the right were oatmeal raisin, I would first go to the oatmeal raisin one. And you’re saying you’d throw the oatmeal raisin ones on the floor is what you’d say.
SPEAKER 02 :
Throw them on the floor. Okay. And anyone who tried eating them, throw them on the floor too.
SPEAKER 03 :
Because I’m a live and let live kind of guy.
SPEAKER 02 :
There you go. Yeah. So I got to share with you, this is the solicitor general that’s arguing the trains case before SCOTUS. You want to hear this? This is apparently what she wrote in a brief submitted to the court. Quote. Oh, come here. An adolescent assigned female at birth cannot receive puberty blockers or testosterone to live and present as a male, but an adolescent assigned male at birth can, and vice versa. An adolescent assigned male at birth cannot receive puberty blockers or estrogen to live and present as a female, but an adolescent assigned female at birth can. That is sex discrimination. First off, the Solicitor General’s Elizabeth Prelogar. Who assigns them the sex? A signed female. It’s not a sign. Like there’s a giant pre-earth waiting room where angels walk around and be like, that one’s a girl. Let’s assign male to that one. That one is. And then they get their genitals upon entering into the world.
SPEAKER 03 :
But no one’s assigning anything.
SPEAKER 02 :
No, she very clearly believes that there is assignments that go out.
SPEAKER 03 :
And she is believing something incorrect because it’s just people observing. It’s just nobody’s assigning anything. You’re observing. Well, the Lord assigned it. Well, yeah. But no one here on Earth is assigning it. We’re just observing and then noting it.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 03 :
That’s it.
SPEAKER 02 :
I hate the language of this stuff. I mean, this is the dumbest thing ever. There are… Excuse me. She’s arguing… that there are certain drugs and things that are available only to men or certain drugs and things available only to women because one drug can hurt men, another drug can hurt women, and that that’s somehow sex discrimination. We don’t make the laws of reality, you dumb broad. This is just the way of the world. There’s going to be stuff that men can take that women can’t take. There’s going to be stuff that women can take that men can’t take. Oh my gosh. I feel like we’re dealing with some of the stupidest people on God’s green earth. You have to explain it like this to these people. And so elementary a term, this is so stupid. I mean, that’s like saying, well, why can’t I, a man get a hysterectomy? Well, I don’t know. Take it up with the Lord. Don’t know why you can’t. Well, Why can’t I get a prostate check? Take it up with the Lord. Good night. Nothing was assigned. Like you just have like a Barbie mound area and then you don’t get genitals until you’re in the world. Or you don’t get your chromosomes until you’re in the world. It’s just so goofy. These people, this is anti-science. It really is. You have to be anti-science to argue the stuff that they’re arguing before SCOTUS. You absolutely have to be. As we move, our partners over at Hillsdale College are doing their job educating the dumb people of America. I mean, you know, I’m talking about the people who think that they’re liberal. I had a friend whose kid went to Hillsdale, just found this out, and they were kind of liberal, right? Grew up in a conservative household. This kid goes to Hillsdale, actually is educated, comes back smarter than the parents ever thought the kid could be. I say kid, they were like 19 years old, but you know what I mean? And they were actually employing critical thinking. And the parents were like, they’re saying it’s their Christmas miracle this year. All I’m saying is that Hillsdale actually focuses on academic excellence, which is weird to say because you think that most colleges would do it. But apparently Hillsdale is a diamond in the rough and they have the type of education that is required to protect students. The values of liberty. So this is what’s important. They go about it the founders way. The founders understood classical education is incredibly important because you have to be educated in order to preserve your rights and to fight for your rights. And that’s what Hillsdale teaches. It’s part of their mission since their founding in 1844. And they don’t you don’t have to just go to their campus in Michigan. They have all kinds of free resources for you online. where they have educational podcasts. They have their free speech digest and premise. They have all kinds of stuff. You can check out everything that they have to offer and learn more about Hillsdale at Dana for Hillsdale.com. Take some time, learn what makes them so special and learn why so many people are so satisfied with the education that they’re receiving at Hillsdale college. Dana for F O R Hillsdale.com.
SPEAKER 03 :
It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.
SPEAKER 02 :
A Florida man trying to buy crack on Craigslist was arrested when an undercover deputy answered the ad. Holmes County Sheriff’s Office. Their investigators responded to the ad, posed as a seller, set up a meeting with the individual who had been identified as Anthony Mata. Deputies say that Mata negotiated to buy an eight ball of meth for 80 bucks. After finalizing the deal, the investigator met him at the agreed upon location. They exchanged money. Deputies moved in. yeah they on craigslist it just seems that seems so sketchy that’s so sketchy and meth is bad and these guys look like they’re in an old-timey movie i’m just saying just uh let’s see uh i i can’t read the dog story oh my gosh This guy, a Daytona Beach man, Douglas Matney, M-A-T-N-E-Y. Douglas Matney, M-A-T-N-E-Y. He looks exactly like a doucher looks. 21 years old. Charged with felony animal cruelty. He’s out of the Volusia County Branch Jail and $5,000 bond. He apparently shot a two-year-old black pit bull mix named Zola. And he shot the dog in the right cheek because the dog was aggressive during bath time. And they found the 55-pound dog with a bullet wound to his cheek. And it stopped in his abdomen. And he did not get medical attention for the pet. And the police said that the dog apparently had non-functional back legs and was uncontrollably urinating on itself. It was been a lot of pain in this guy. I want this. I want to scalp this dude. I just, that’s my own personal free speech opinion. I am not, you guys know what I think. Give me five, oh my gosh, give me 60 seconds, please, for the love of all things holy, in a locker room with this dude.
SPEAKER 03 :
How’s he out on $5,000, Bob? That was my thing.
SPEAKER 02 :
I mean, that’s I know exactly. That’s just, you know, this guy’s. So, yeah, I hope he gets it. It’d be great if he had some prison time and if some prison justice befell him. I’m not saying that money would magically be deposited in the commissary of anybody who was maybe a part of it. But, you know, I’m maybe might be saying that. I don’t know. I’m pretty mayor of Kingstown about some of this stuff. So I don’t know. Anyway, so that, oh, I need a happy story now because that just makes me, that makes me mad. That’s a horrible story. We could talk about this Florida dude who I don’t, oh gosh, these people. So this Florida dude, he was denied entry to a USAA building and he put on a helmet and drove his car right into the facility. Oh, good. Robert Beattie, 70, he went to the guard gate at the USAA office and demanded to be let inside. They said, not going to happen. So then he put on a helmet and drove right through the parking garage and through their fences. Two people in a marked security SUV tried to block him in, but then he reversed and struck their vehicle to create some space. He was on the third floor when they found him of the parking garage taken into custody. He got charged with two felony counts, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, one felony count of burglary of an occupied structure, felony count of criminal mischief, $1,000 or more. He got some more charges. Thankfully, nobody was injured. But, I mean, the fact that he went and put on a helmet… And then drove his car through. Yeah, I don’t I don’t know this. Let’s see this. No, no, not doing that one. We could talk about the teacher from Port St. Lucie found naked any KKID in an elementary school. Joe Urias faces multiple charges, including battery on a law enforcement officer. Somerset College Preparatory Academy. And apparently, according to Port St. Lucie, the 34-year-old Urias was found after police were dispatched to Windpoint Elementary School for a burglary in progress. When they arrived, they found him naked in the classroom among clothes, food, a laptop, drugs, and some private time accessories. I don’t know how else to say it. He reclosed himself and tried to run out of the building once he was discovered. But guess what? They got him. And then the cop that grabbed him was punched in the face. Urias was arrested, taken to St. Lucie County Jail. Wow, he’s got a lot of charges. Lewd behavior, burglary, possession of marijuana, battery law enforcement. I mean, he’s got a lot. He’s got a lot of charges. That’s all you need to know. There’s too much to read. He’s got a lot. And he’s going to be in major trouble. Major, major trouble. We have more on the way.

SPEAKER 06 :
You know, with you in Angola, the vibrant city, and I look not the city, the city I know is not Angola, but in Angola in a vibrant city.
SPEAKER 02 :
Boy, oh boy. Oh, my gosh. So that’s Joe Biden when he was in Africa. I saw a video of him yesterday where he was just what was he doing? He just was wandering around again. He had to be guided by one of the leaders there to like walk down this like carpeted path towards a dais. And he was just kind of all over. It was weird. There was one little step and the other leader had to help. It would look bad. It looked bad. Notice you don’t see Harris anywhere anymore either. Nowhere. Nowhere. Where is she at? Welcome back to the program. Again, Dana Lash, with you. We’re at the top of this third hour. Still under the weather. We’re making it through. We’re making it through. And we’re getting you set up with all the news through the week. We’re also watching the arguments before the Supreme Court about this ban in Tennessee on… experimental surgery, sex changes for minors. And what, three hours of arguments so far? And the Biden administration keeps saying that they have an overwhelming amount of evidence of the benefits of giving people hormonal castration, et cetera, et cetera. It’s a wild argument to make before someone’s even reached the age of consent legally. You’re going to allow them to. Yeah, let’s go ahead and get chemically castrated or, you know, surgically. It’s just unbelievable that this is the argument before the court today. But it looks like the courts are leaning towards common sense and erring on the side of caution, particularly as it relates to minors, our kids. So, you know, we’ll see with that. They were trying to figure out because the other argument that was in this is whether or not it’s constitutional or unconstitutional, rather, for states to protect minors. minors from harmful and unnecessary elective medical procedures, which seems, you know, I’m not trying to beg the question with the way that I’m phrasing it, but that, I mean, that’s the reality of the question and how it’s this idea of transitioning is an ideological, not a medical discussion, right? So I will see because this is something that you’re talking about minors everywhere and the right to happiness or certain things that you think that extend beyond the jurisdiction of states. So we don’t have any decisions, but where the judge that’s in this or that started the judge, the attorney, one of the attorneys in this case. The lawyer with the ACLU who’s arguing about it. This is Chase, Audio Summit 19, Strangio. Strangio? Right. This is the trans lawyer with the ACLU who is making these arguments before SCOTUS. Listen.
SPEAKER 01 :
to a law that is banning this care for minors. So if Tennessee is successful, if the Supreme Court, in essence, sides with the government of Tennessee, I think that will open the door to the types of federal bans on this care, not only for minors, but for adults, too.
SPEAKER 03 :
For adults, too, you think?
SPEAKER 01 :
I do. I do. And I think that’s one of the things we should be really concerned about. We’re hearing a lot about young people can’t consent to this care, but it is their parents consenting to this care.
SPEAKER 02 :
What do you think that Chase Strangio was assigned at birth?
SPEAKER 03 :
I don’t think she was assigned anything. I think the doctor observed the lack of male genitalia and put down the only other option, which was female.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 03 :
I mean, that’s… How do you grow facial hair like that, but your voice still sounds like Mickey Mouse?
SPEAKER 02 :
Dude, I don’t know. This… she’s the deputy director for transgender justice and a staff attorney with the ACLU. And she’s being celebrated as the first person cosplaying as a man to make oral arguments before the Supreme Court. So she decided to do this of her own free will and make the determination you know i guess after becoming of age and this person i mean she’s in previous arguments she’s even acknowledged that the kids aren’t actually the ones giving consent to do this which i would think that would undermine your entire argument right if you’re saying that the kids aren’t aren’t actually giving consent to do this well then how is this you’re not You’re not providing consent. This is wild. But that’s the attorney that’s arguing this before SCOTUS. And it looks as though SCOTUS is leaning towards some common sense. I mean, at least initially, that’s what it looks like. I mean, we’ll see. We’ll watch all that for you. But they I mean, it’s been from the notes that I’ve seen, it’s been pretty crazy thus far. And it got kind of because they were saying that even they tried to compare. So one of the reporters was saying that they were trying to compare, quote unquote, I hate this phrase, gender affirming care. It’s experimental surgery that every medical treatment has risk. Even taking aspirin was one of the remarks. OK, the risks for the experimental surgeries that they call gender affirming care are sterilization. hormonal problems for life, hormonal abuse, mental, physical. I mean, it’s, oh my gosh, this is not, you can’t just diminish this with a comparison to getting your weenus chopped off, inverted into a frankengina is the exact same as, you know, the risks associated with popping an aspirin. It’s not even remotely similar. The fact that people make this argument that immediately get out of my courtroom. Get out. You’re too stupid to argue. But that was pretty much like within the first 20 minutes that that was done. So that gives you an immediate insight into how wild this is. They think it’s just, oh, well, you know, I mean, it’s just there’s risks with everything like popping aspirin. That’s like saying there’s a risk of stepping on a Lego in your house and a risk of driving off a bridge when you’re on the freeway. I mean, you know, they’re the same. It’s the exact same thing. It’s just wild. And then you had Ketanji Brown Jackson, you know, the judge who doesn’t know what a woman is, who was trying to argue that somehow it’s, if you’re banning the experimental surgery for minors, that that’s somehow the same as banning interracial marriage. Yeah. What, how is chopping off boobs and trying to say that you’re a dude now unnecessarily in any way, like two people entering into a covenant with the Lord in marriage, what in the world?
SPEAKER 03 :
These comparisons are getting crazier than the standard conflation of like, you know, oh, you’re against immigration because you don’t like illegal immigration. That used to be the main conflation. Now it’s just so ridiculous. January 20th couldn’t come fast enough.
SPEAKER 02 :
She actually had said, according to Leo Sapir, who’s another reporter in the courtroom, Kentonji Brown Jackson gave a hypothetical, a boy who identifies as a boy but takes puberty blockers because he wants to lower his voice rather than change his, they’re talking about, you know, in instances, I guess, that the medicine, whatever, can be used for. what a boy who identifies as a boy would not have to have their voice lowered by taking puberty blockers. That is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard. How in the hell are these people in the position to adjudicate this? How? And apparently Alito, he noted that the cast report found found no evidence that gender affirmative treatments reduce suicide. He said he says accurately, he says that there’s zero evidence in any of these studies. There are multiple studies that do show that there is a reduction in suicidality. So we admit that it does nothing to reduce any suicide rate, any mental health catastrophe, nothing. We admit that it’s not actual consent. We admit that. OK, so what is the argument for this? You’re pumping kids full of hormones that you don’t know the long-term effects to. You’re mutilating them before they’re even of age with experimental surgeries. I mean, Europe has banned this. Of all the times that the United States doesn’t want to copy Europe, why is it over this? I mean, they copy them over everything else. Makes zero sense. It’s just asinine. But this is where we’re at. Where we’re at. Where we are at. Now… A couple other things to touch on. As we were saying, I watched the SecDef pick because apparently there’s a lot of movement on the Hegseth thing. I don’t know what’s going to happen. I just think it’s all, I don’t know. I feel like that there’s two different camps. in the Trump transition group. And it seems that one camp has been making some not so stellar recommendations. And then the other camp has been putting forward some pretty solid recommendations. And I feel like the latter camp probably needs to rule from here on out. I mean, I think it’s great to get people who like whack the libs on X. But what does that translate to practical, like actual meat space effects? You need to have someone who’s going to be able to make those kind of make the kind of changes that you need. So we’ll see. In the meantime, where’s Biden? Is he going to the Notre Dame thing to the Notre Dame reopening? The I think. I was looking, because Trump is going, I think he’s going like, apparently it was reported that Macron was begging Trump to visit the Notre Dame reopening. And apparently it’s going to be, they’re opening the doors to the public. They had the fire in 2019, so they had to do a lot of work. And I guess that they are, I mean, I don’t know if Trump was already going before Macron tried to convince him, but they’re doing the opening. It’s going to be on the 8th. So it’s going to be actually really shortly. I mean, you’re looking at what, four days time? So I think that he’s, I would, is Biden going to go? I mean, he was in Africa and then in Brazil. Not doing so well. Did he fall asleep? Wait, we have audio of him actually falling asleep. Audio of somebody 20. He’s trying to keep his eyes open. This is how bad it is. Watch this and then you determine whether you think he’s going to go to Paris.
SPEAKER 10 :
With the U.S. in support of the development of the Robito Corridor. Tanzania views the Robito Corridor as an integral part of a broader strategy to enhance connectivity in Africa. We also appreciate the fact that the implementation of the project will provide important opportunities for Africa’s development in sectors such as agriculture, renewable energy.
SPEAKER 02 :
You know what your parents would tell you when you were young? I’m going to close my eyes for a minute. That meant nap. We all know that. I’m just going to close my eyes. Did your parents ever say that to you? And you’re like, wait a minute. Are you napping? No, I’m just closing my eyes. OK, good, because I thought you were napping. Right. So Biden has no idea what’s happening. I don’t. He’d fall asleep at that, too. No one knows.
SPEAKER 03 :
And now all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 02 :
So Britney Spears says that she’s really five years old and moving to Mexico. Yeah, it was a footage via TMZ that was posted to her Instagram account. She says that paparazzi put her on a plane with a mask over her face while carrying a torch. And then she just said that she was turned 42 when she’s actually 43, but then said, really, she actually meant she’s turned five and she is moving to Mexico and going to kindergarten because the paparazzi are cruel. This chick really needed her conservatorship. I mean, it’s not right. So, man. So, I’m just saying. That’s kind of sad. Felony charge over dipping sauce dispute via smoking gun. The, uh… This is in Florida. It could have been a Florida story. 31-year-old woman was arrested for strong-arm robbery because fast food workers failed to include her sauces in her mobile pickup order. Her name is Kinsey Keeling. She’s got blue and pink hair. She got her grub from her raising canes in Clearwater. She was missing eight packs of cane sauce. You’ve got to have that cane special sauce. She said that she wanted those more extra sauces in return for wasting time and gas. Her extra sauce bid was refused. And then she began yelling and she was physical and blah, blah, blah. And so she was released on a $2,500 bond. You know, you could just go in and be like, hey, you forgot my sauces. It’s nothing I’m going to get a felony charge over, but I would like my sauces, right? I mean, it’s super easy to keep yourself out of certain situations. Hackers are leaning into total destruction. It’s not just about getting data anymore. I mean, they want to destroy everything, according to this piece from MSN. And they said that it’s becoming more and more commonplace. damaging. I mean, destroying entire networks, not just hits here and there or getting information. A man was tasered by police after he tried to carjack an Uber while naked. Activities you don’t do naked. Crouching, carjacking, things like that. A man was tasered while he was buck naked in front of shocked onlookers in Perth, Australia. His name, Pui Clark, of course it is, running naked from police down busy James Street, Northbridge. He tried to carjack an Uber. It didn’t work out very well for him. It’s all on camera, too, none of which we can show for obvious reasons. Stay with us. We’ve got a lot more on the way.
SPEAKER 08 :
Keep your finger on the pulse with the Dana Show podcast, delivering timely news with insightful analysis. Whenever you want, straight to you on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts.
SPEAKER 02 :
Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you, and we are… Of course, you know, here discussing all of the latest cabinet picks, everything else with POTUS and POTUS elect. And then we were kind of questioning where POTATUS is. Not quite sure where he went. I don’t know what’s happening there. We’ll see. A couple of things. I got some audio I wanted to put out here. This is wild. Audio soundbite 15. Eric Adams, the New York City mayor, he says, well, he’s been very, very critical over the illegal alien crisis in New York. And he had some things to say about it. He dared the left even to cancel him yesterday. He also added this, audio soundbite 15.
SPEAKER 09 :
The long-term impact of what we did to this city is going to, you’re going to see it materialize in administrations in the future. They hurt the future of New York City. And when people hear me say $6.4 billion, they may say, okay, it’s just a billion here, a billion there. No, we didn’t invest in seniors the way we should have and young people the way we should have. We’re not going out to get these chronic absentee students the way we should have. The crimes that we witnessed, this impacted our city and people don’t seem to understand why were you fighting so hard for this? Because I reflected on that 11-year-old boy that was denied and I went into government to stop these 11-year-old boys and I came up with a plan to do so and the federal government made me take $6.4 billion out of providing these services that we should, we all should be angry at what happened to our city. under this administration.
SPEAKER 02 :
Oh, it was that last point there. They’re going to get him. He’s not going to be invited for any more Democrat fundraisers after that. I don’t see how that happens. But he’s not wrong. Here’s the thing. And I keep seeing this because I’m just, you know, sort of watching some of the stuff at play and looking at things like, you know, like Democrats going into 28 and all this stuff. They there’s going to be a huge problem. They still have a big problem. They haven’t done like a proper actual post-mortem of why they lost. It’s obvious to us why they lost. It’s not obvious to the left why they lost. Now, by the left, I mean people in D.C. Because Eric Adams seems to kind of get it. And I don’t agree with him on hardly anything. But on this, you know, it’s not incorrect. That’s not what you’re hearing from Democrats in D.C. Democrats in D.C. don’t think that anything’s wrong. They think the economy’s great. If you listen to their soundbites. that uh economy’s great there’s no issue at the border what what they’re i guess living or experiencing is miles wide inches deep uh in terms of the depth that they’re willing to explore it it’s so different from what we’re living but then you’ve got governors and you’ve got mayors like eric adams who are saying things that he’s not what he’s saying isn’t republican stuff I mean, what he’s saying is what anybody would say if they had a brain and eyes. They can see exactly what’s happening. They know what’s going on here. They can see the crime. They can see the unfettered thousands that are being brought illegally across the border and being sent to New York because it’s a sanctuary city. They see the crimes committed illegally. by unvetted individuals who were just allowed to enter. No way of checking any kind of criminal record. People are done with it. They’re fed up. This is reflected in the language and the positions of local and state lawmakers. But then it seems to end there. Nationally, federally, in D.C., totally different story. They’re not going to be able to… win another election until they fix that schism. It’s a difference of, and I said this earlier, when your ideology meets reality. Reality requires sober observance. Reality requires practicality. Reality requires patience. Policy like actual workable policy, not just simply denial. Until they figure this out, this is going to be a problem that they have for quite some time. We may never see another Democrat victory in our generation again. They’re saying two different things. They’re saying two different things. It’s why in some states you had like in blue wall states. If you went back and looked, some of the state lawmakers who were running for reelection were Democrats and they did well. But then the people voted for Trump for president. Don’t you think that’s interesting? You had Democrats that didn’t turn out. The turnout for us this last election was actually pretty much almost the same as it was in 2020. Republicans didn’t have a banger year for turnout. There wasn’t any kind of exorbitant record-setting turnout because Republicans are good like that. But what you did have was record-setting lack of turnout for Democrats. No enthusiasm. They were giving nothing concrete to rally around. And a lot of them, a lot of Democrats that did turn out, they changed their affiliation and they voted for Republicans because they felt that the messaging that they were hearing, the policy proposals that they were reading were more in line with what they wanted and what they needed to happen than what they had previously believed with Democrats. This is going to be a problem for Democrats until they can get this. They’ve got to figure out how to reconcile these two very different things here. So did you hear about, I didn’t know that there was luxury cannabis. I mean, I guess you can have artisanal weed. You can have artisanal anything, right? But what makes it artisanal? I mean, it doesn’t get much more artisanal than growing in the sequoias with Bigfoots, right? I mean, I don’t know. Jay-Z had apparently a luxury cannabis company, which is funny to me. And it struggled to sell $50 joints. I’m sorry. Was it? Now, I don’t know how. Don’t make fun of me. Shut up. Does it come in like a carton like cigarettes? Do you get like a bunch of the joints or is it just like one carton?
SPEAKER 03 :
No, I mean, I guess you can buy several, but they don’t come in packs like cigarettes. There is a company that does them, and they make them look like cigarettes, but they’re actually… Or do people make their own? Yeah, no, people mostly roll their own, but they sell them in pre-roll.
SPEAKER 02 :
Sorry, do you do like a grape leaf, like with cigars, or is it just like cigarette paper? I’m curious. Yeah, it’s cigarette paper. Okay, so were these, I guess, pre-rolled luxury joints? $50. Again, not knowing. I only know the hysterical stuff that I’ve ever seen with Cheech and Chong. I mean, I’m assuming they’re like that. $50 for one of them? How much does that get you? What are we talking about here?
SPEAKER 03 :
Cheech and Chong is shockingly real life.
SPEAKER 02 :
Oh.
SPEAKER 03 :
It’s real life.
SPEAKER 02 :
So you get one joint for $50? No. No. That’s what it says here. $50 for one of his luxury joints.
SPEAKER 03 :
I get that was their effort, but it didn’t work out, obviously.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah, they lost half a billion dollars since they launched. How do you lose money on weed? If you do it stupid?
SPEAKER 03 :
Make it really expensive.
SPEAKER 02 :
This is like one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen in my life. They act like they’re like, oh, Sean Carter’s a great businessman. Maybe, but not with this because I’m not even in the pot. And I could have told you you’re selling one little joint for $50. Are you stupid? It’s the luxury joint. What is it like? Do California condors talon roll it? Like, how does that work? Are there gold flakes that you smoke? What is it? Apparently, California has a tough legal pot market. I didn’t know that either. It’s wild. I love that everybody has to deal with bureaucracy. Like nobody, even the sin industries. I love it. They said that none of the retailers across California and Arizona, they don’t stock Jay-Z’s buds or joints on their online menus. Yeah. And they had, oh my gosh, this is Kamala level crazy, $575 million that they launched with. And now they’re in trouble. They said that Jay-Z’s monogram products are overpriced and underwhelming. Wow. And see, you never really get rid of the criminal element. They say California’s legal weed sector has been stymied by complex rules, high taxes, competitions from black market traders, wildfires, sliding prices. A lot of people have been pushed into insolvency. But they said that it was mind-boggling the amount of money that was pushed for this. I could have told you immediately that probably not going to work. You’re talking about luxury pot. People are broke. Everybody that is broke and the people who are going to be doing this are probably not going to be like the Jay-Z rich level people. They’re going to be people who think that smoking this makes them Jay-Z rich level. And now they can’t they can’t afford it because everybody’s broke because of the president Jay-Z endorsed. And his administration. So I can’t say that I feel sorry for him. I don’t. I just think it’s funny. Like who thought that, you know what? We’re in a time of, it’s a lockdown. Let’s launch a luxury cannabis company and charge people $50 per joint. What else can you make luxury? Like artisanal weed. Are you going to do artisanal kefir, Cain? It’s pretty artisanal. I don’t know how much more artisanal you can make it.
SPEAKER 03 :
It’s pretty artisanal on its own. I don’t know. Glass bottles preserved from Quaker. I have no idea what you could do with it.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah, that sounds… During a time of inflation, I just don’t think that luxury stuff, especially starting any kind of luxury line, is going to make it take off. Gen Z, here’s a story. Gen Z is killing the Christmas party. People are sober curious. Band aid is banned. And everybody goes home early. Golly, this generation sucks. This is horrible. I don’t want to party with these people. Yeah, I know, right? Who dukeyed in their Wheaties? Jiminy. They even know what those are. They said mistletoe is a firm no-no. Apparently mistletoe sales have plummeted. I didn’t even know.
SPEAKER 03 :
I’ve seen that.
SPEAKER 02 :
So stupid. They said that going to bed early is in. Gifting olive oil instead of alcohol. Shut up. Hot chocolate. And then out, band-aid, mistletoe, and alcohol. I mean… I don’t know. I just don’t know. Christmas parties, I don’t care if somebody drinks or not. But if you’re gifting, if you’re giving olive oil, man, you better be knowing you’re cooking. Don’t just grab some cheap old olive oil because it’s just stupid. Cain just gave me a serious look. That’s a real thing.
SPEAKER 03 :
No plastic bottles. No plastic bottles.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah, you don’t keep it on a plastic bottle either. I don’t know. Isn’t this the generation or is it millennials that got upset over baby, it’s cold outside?
SPEAKER 03 :
I think it was millennials.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah, they ruin everything. These people ruin everything. Yeah, now they’re like, oh, here we are hanging out and just, you know, no mistletoe. Band-Aid’s part of it. You got to make fun of Band-Aid. That’s the whole point of it. You play it and you make fun of the fact that all these celebrities got together and apparently Michael Jackson was weirded out. It’s weird. It’s funny. You make fun of it. Jiminy. Everybody stop being so serious.

SPEAKER 02 :
I read this story about how Hunter Biden apparently, isn’t that interesting? He celebrated Trump. The pardon, his dad’s pardon of himself. He celebrated it by watching a movie of himself. Well, what? So this is New York Post. He celebrated this unprecedented pardon from Daddy Joe by watching a movie about himself. Okay, what? It was a private screening of a documentary. Remember the sugar brother, Kevin Morris, the guy who facilitated everything by buying his horrible paintings? So he was the guy who apparently financed this documentary about him. And I guess he was at watching a screener of that documentary. the day that the pardon came out. So, and he was very, he was very happy. Apparently, a source said he’s had, a huge weight was lifted off that he’s had to carry since his dad got elected. I mean, his dad wasn’t the one making you do all the gross things that you were doing, but okay. I mean, can you imagine being his kids and seeing this stuff about your dad in the press? It’s just heinous, heinous. So, yeah, they said that, you know, people were attacking me and they were attacking me because of my father. Or because you were a deadbeat nepo. I mean, that’s kind of like, you know, really what we’re looking at, but whatever. So, he… I guess that… I don’t know if it’s ever going to be released, but… I don’t know. So we’ll, but yeah, that’s how he spent, that’s how he celebrated.
SPEAKER 03 :
So in 2020, Biden was adamant that Hunter’s laptop was misinformation, wasn’t real, and then recently now has pardoned him for all the crimes listed in the laptop.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah, yeah. So the laptop isn’t real, but he got a pardon for all the stuff. In the laptop. That he did in the laptop. So that’s… D different. Yeah, it’s D different. There you are. That does it for us, at least for that portion. Of course, we’re going to watch everything with the Penny case, and then there’s the Supreme Court as well. Any kind of cabinet changes, we’ll have that covered tomorrow. Make sure you catch us at Substack, chapter and verse as well. To date in stupidity, Cain.
SPEAKER 03 :
All right, looks like the medical treatment for transgenders conversation was happening with SCOTUS. And Sotomayor had a response to a question when it was asked, how many minors have to have their bodies irreparably harmed for unproven benefits? And I don’t know about you, Dana. When I’ve taken aspirin, I don’t have irreparable harm. But this is what her response was. Let’s listen.
SPEAKER 04 :
cannot eliminate the risk of detransitioners. So it becomes a pure exercise of weighing benefits versus risk. And the question of how many minors have to have their bodies irreparably harmed for unproven benefits is one that is best left… I’m sorry, Counselor.
SPEAKER 07 :
Every medical treatment has a risk. Even taking aspirin. Oh, my Lord. Okay.
SPEAKER 02 :
Just like the transfer. Just like lopping off your schlong.
SPEAKER 07 :
Same thing, Dana.
SPEAKER 02 :
Just like it. Yeah, it’s just like it. You guys didn’t know that. All right, that does it for us today. I hope you all have a great rest of your evening. Make sure you find us on Substack, Chapter and Verse, as well as Facebook, YouTube, like and subscribe. I’ll be back behind the mic with you tomorrow.
