SPEAKER 02 :
So, we got the fight over the Epstein stuff. Now, here’s the thing. It passed the House. And it passed the Senate. This bill. And it’s now headed to POTUS’s desk. He’s got to sign it. And I saw a story. I saw this yesterday. I didn’t realize the furor it would cause. I didn’t really think this was a divisive issue. I don’t know. Maybe it is. But… I saw a headline that had said that Pam Bondi was concerned about national security implications. If these files, all of this was, if these sealed court documents were released. Now, my thought is that I don’t know anyone who is saying, oh, you know, let’s just go ahead and, you know, screw the victims. We’re going to release everybody’s names. No one’s saying that. I don’t know why that is constantly getting lost in this because no one at all is saying that. No one is saying to not redact any names for any of these victims. Kane, correct? No one’s saying that. But why does it seem like that’s sort of the intimation whenever I hear people at the DOJ talk about this? So my point is that I saw this headline at, where did I see it? Let me pull it up. It’s in my notes. I saw this headline and it said, oh, you know, Pampani is very concerned about, you know, national security implications. And my first thought was, no, we ain’t doing that today. We ain’t doing that. What national security, what national security, now I’m even more interested in seeing this, what national security implications are there that this can’t be released? Doesn’t it make you even more curious? I mean, it didn’t, if they thought that the effect would be, oh no, we shouldn’t release it then, that’s incorrect, because my first thought was, oh my gosh, we need more of this. I want to know everything. Who’s implicated? Who’s implicated? Welcome to the show. Dana Lash with you. We are at the top of this first hour. Almost forgot. We’re at the top of this first hour. And POTUS is speaking. I don’t know when… He’s at this investment forum. They’re having this big thing at the Kennedy Center in Washington. And I don’t know if we want to… take some of that or not kind of just like listen in and see what he has to say, because I know he’s going to be talking about the major successes that they had yesterday. MBS, the Saudis at the White House. It was very, very, very interesting. In fact, this was kind of funny. Cut 17. This was a little joke that they had yesterday. Listen.
SPEAKER 13 :
Thank you again, Mr. President. And also, before I come here, someone told me that there is some of the bidding sites, that they are bidding on me wearing black suits. And if you bid on me wearing black suits and coming here with the black suits, they’re going to get almost 17X. So I want to tell them, sorry, you lose the bid. Maybe next time. It was funny. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you.
SPEAKER 02 :
There was the reaction to him at the White House was very interesting yesterday because MBS, as you know, he goes there. They were making we have what is their investment, like a trillion dollar investment. And then we’re selling them F-35s. They have been referred to as a non-NATO ally. And I realize that that’s odd for folks because technically, isn’t that what cut, which I don’t understand, Cutter? I mean, we kind of treat Qatar that way. We have a base there, but it’s begrudging. You know, it’s it’s a very it’s a weird relationship that we have with Qatar. So we have this, you know, this base in Qatar. And there are some people who want us to believe that Qatar are entirely our friends because of this. We’re best friends forever and we should choose their side in everything. It’s the same thing as the people who want to, you know, who who love the Iranian stuff. Right. That want us to be aligned with Iran. Right. like Barack Obama and Jimmy Carter types, those sorts of cats. So it’s a little, I get that it’s a weird setup. And I know some of my friends are, they’re kind of, they got eyebrows raised because if you’re referring to the Saudis as a non-NATO ally, and then we have a base in Qatar, which means that we at least have some sort of non-official protection agreement. It is a little weird. However, if you’re looking at the geometry of defense and politics, I actually think it’s kind of a masterstroke. And here’s why. So the criticism of, well, we’re in both camps. So we would we would be calling this we would be calling Saudi Arabia a non-NATO ally. And we have a base in Qatar and we have this like unofficial protect protection agreement. Well, how is that not the United States controlling both sides? How is that the United States not bringing balance to our region by controlling some of the dueling powers in the region? And I dare say that of the powers, it’s going to be the Saudis and the UAE that are going to be most amenable to keeping the peace and and and. really maintaining the alliance with the United States. You know, Qatar, Qatar’s part of Iran’s energy infrastructure. We’ve talked about this before. The Persian Gulf that sits between them under that water is a natural gas field. They share that with Iran. So they’re a part of each other’s energy infrastructure. It’s going to be really, really hard to… You can’t tear that baby. It’s going to be really, really hard to separate the two. So… As a result, you kind of have to play it. You know, it’s a weird thing. It’s a weird balance. You know, Qatar is looked at. I mean, they’re very amenable towards Iran. They’re kind of an Iranian surrogate, so to speak, except their economy is way more powerful. And they’ve been trying to open it up or trying to at least give the appearance of westernizing. But they’re still maintaining their Islamism, which, by the way, is what Jamal Khashoggi liked. If you got that post yesterday over at Substack. But my point in that is that. I think it’s a master stroke because we are then controlling and we have the leverage to make everybody play nice. Right. That’s how I view this. So we’re going to talk about this more. I thought this was incredible. I thought it was very insightful. And so I don’t I see the hesitation that some have, but I don’t agree with the reasoning of it. I don’t I don’t really share it because I but I understand I see the hesitation and the confusion, et cetera, that people have. So that being said, you know, I I think that it’s a it’s a huge thing and the saudis are becoming more agreeable to consider the abraham accords but there is now there are a couple of little caveats one of them anything about uh the quote unquote Palestinian Authority running Gaza is not one that I can get behind because it’s still Hamas. Hamas is taking over Palestinian Authority. So it’s the same thing. However, the Saudis don’t like Islamism. They don’t like Hamas. They don’t like Hezbollah. They don’t like any of that. They don’t like Iran. They’re not friendly. I mean, they keep the peace with Qatar, but they’re not. I mean, they’ve had some dustups. They’re not exactly like best friends. So it’s a very, very interesting dynamic. I just think that this was, I think for the people who have been criticizing Trump all day yesterday for having, for calling, referring to Saudi, like, you know, kind of in a friendly way as a non-NATO ally while also maintaining that relationship with Qatar, I don’t think that they’re seeing the forest for the trees. I think that it’s actually a brilliant way to control the dueling powers in that area or to influence the dueling powers in that area. And I also thought it was very interesting, too, when MBS was asked about Jamal Khashoggi yesterday, because what you need to understand about the Khashoggi thing is that This guy is being used as a way to drive a wedge between the Saudis, not just the Saudis in UAE and the United States. You can’t look at it like that. You have to think of they’re driving a wedge between, you know, the Arab world and the United States so that they can benefit Islamism. Now, some people say it’s all the same thing. We’re in a geopolitical sphere. We have to talk about things in a practical way that benefit the United States’s interest. So that’s how I approach this. But. The wedge that they’re using to try to – they really would love to have that alliance, just like the alliance with Israel. This is a multi-pronged attack. They would love to have that alliance diminished because they want Islamism. They took a blow. The Islamists took a huge blow after Barack Obama when we decided not to further ingratiate ourselves with Iran any further. And they’ve been trying to regain ground, of course, you know, with these with these bilateral strikes with Israel and Syria becoming, you know, even though we talked about this the other day, it’s a regime, you know, got a sketchy past. However, they closed their airspace to Iran and they’ve signaled that they’re not going to be they’re not going to be friendly with Iran. They’re leaning towards, you know, the more westernized. They want to be capitalists. They want to make money. And they also see that oil and gas, there’s other ways to make money. And the world has been carrying on this cultural war against oil and gas. They get it. So I think it was a master class in negotiating yesterday. I really do. And I’m going to tell you, I know a lot of people got a lot of gripes with Trump on certain things. This is one I don’t. I think that he handled this. I think he’s handled the Middle East better than any other president before him. I really do. I really do. And I think that needs to be appreciated because it is he’s reshaping it in ways that are going to be felt decades later. Incredibly important. Now. As far as the Epstein thing. So Lorraine’s already looking at it. And she says that the way that the Republicans released it is just idiotic. She said that each page. So it’s not searchable. You mean it wasn’t in the binders that were given to the influencers? You know, they all showed up and they’re like, oh, my gosh. And they had their binders and it was literally nothing. It was just repurposed stuff that’s already there was already online. And they decided to I don’t know why they just they gave it to these influencers and these influencers decided like they had a breaking story. They didn’t share any of it. It’s very interesting. She says everything is a separate image. You can’t search it. It’s all like PDF, PDF, PDF, PDF. And she said that they they claim that it’s been 20,000 documents released, but that’s not true. It’s grotesquely exaggerated. So they up. She says they up the document count by making each page a separate image. We’re going to talk more about this as well. And coming up after headlines, we have Texas Governor Greg Abbott. The you know, we were talking about Islamism. Here’s the other thing. One of the reasons that I think so many people are talking to you about Israel, Israel, Israel and Jews, Jews, Jews. It’s because they don’t want you to pay attention to some of the other stuff that’s happening, namely the spread of Islamism in major states like Texas. The very area that we are in right now, where Cain and Juan and I are sitting in, this very area is a hotbed of the spread. I’m talking about Islamism. I’m talking about the people who want to live under Sharia, who have no problem with Hamas, that have no problem with Hezbollah. We’ve got some serious issues here, and we’re going to be talking to Greg Abbott, not just about that, But also now he’s looking at eliminating property taxes. And we’re also looking at CARE. Did you hear how CARE, the Muslim group, everyone talks about AIPAC. CARE spends more and they’re spending thousands of dollars to pay agitators on college campuses. Not only that, but they’re paying influencers online and no one’s disclosing it. That happened to be discovered. So we’re going to talk about quite a bit coming up as we move. I’m mad. I feel a little bitter because I didn’t come up with this business. Man, Cain, we’d be rolling in dough, cha-ching, if we came up with what Ammo Square did. So you all remember. I mean, I remember. I mean, I’m one of those people that I’m always prepared and I always have a curated collection of ammunition and survival supplies. But whatever reason, like whenever there’s crazy headlines like with COVID, I’m like, I got to get more. But you couldn’t because the shelves were stripped bare everywhere. Everything was gone.

Sorry, I just saw that I’m going to have to have a fight with my friend who just said Mexican food was overrated, and I just about am ready to take off my slipper. I’m telling you what. All right. We’re going to have a conversation about food. It’s Thanksgiving. I can’t. I’m distracted. I can’t now. A guy in Michigan named J.D. Vance got two years in prison for threatening J.D. Vance. I mean, at least he made it easy for the police, I guess, right? In Michigan, he threatened Vance and Trump. His name is James Donald Vance Jr., literally J.D. Vance. He pled guilty to two felony counts after he threatened that if they ever visited his city again, that they would, quote, leave it in a body bag. So J.D. Vance was arrested for threatening J.D. Vance. It’s the Spider-Man meme where they’re pointing at each other. Housing alarm. This is a correction. Half of U.S. homes fell in value. Biggest drop since the Great Recession. So it’s it’s a correction. It’s not like a new. But can you got to freak out? Everything’s horrible. We’re all going to die. Whoa. Crypto markets shed more than one trillion in six weeks. By the way, one of the Taint brothers. What’s his name? The bald one that doesn’t have any shoulders. It just slopes off into his elbows. Yeah, he lost like $800,000 because he’s so bad at this. Like in one morning, he lost all his money. He’s going to have to get those ladies out there doing tricks on OnlyFans to get him more money since he doesn’t want to get a real man’s job. Anyway, I said it. Middle class shoppers are pulling back. Retail industry is freaking out. They’re saying, hey, everybody, we got a lot of distress on the way. I always say, isn’t the Black Friday, don’t they use Black Friday as a major gauge of this? Yes. So that’s like that’s how you’re going to see the rest of the retail sector through Christmas. So we’ll see that. And the man poured liquid on a woman and set her on fire in a Chicago subway. This is right after that one woman was stabbed to death. And here’s what is happening in Chicago. Good night. She got set on fire on the train at 930 at night on Monday. 26 years old. And a man, a 45-year-old man, poured liquid on her, unknown fluid, and then ignited it. And then when the train came to a stop, he fled. She stumbled out of the train, fell to the ground. The flames were extinguished before police arrived. She’s being treated for severe burns. Thankfully, she’s still alive, but she’s in critical condition. The witnesses, the witness reports are really rough, really rough. Horrible. We got some more headlines on Chicago, but coming up, Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Islamism, care, property taxes, everything. Stick with us. All Family Pharmacy.

SPEAKER 02 :
Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. You can listen coast to coast. You can listen all over the great Republic of Texas, but you can listen coast to coast. You can also listen digitally. We’ve got millions that tune in every day. All right. So we’ve talked quite a bit about the spread of Islamism in the United States. And I saw this map the other day. I saw this tweet and it was a map of literally where we’re sitting at, Cain, like right where the studio’s at, right where we all live and work. showing, it was described as being this takeover and it was showing mosques that were being built. And this is on the heels of this epic city development in Texas, which there’s a lot of news about this. Apparently it was rebranded as the Meadow and it was a community. And there’s a lot of questions as to, you know, is it for Muslims only? Do HOA fees go towards the mosque? There’s all kinds of stuff. But I understand after you see what’s happened in Europe, and you see some of the threats of Islamist leaders, I understand why people have questions. Joining us on this, on actually a million issues, because there’s no day without news here in Texas, is Governor Greg Abbott, Governor of great Republican Texas, joining us right now via video. Governor, great to have you. Always a pleasure. Tell me about, first off, I wanted to ask you, because I think you tweeted, I’m going to pull this up, I think you did tweet about this map. You saw this graphic, right? where it zoomed out. It was the DFW area and it’s showing, you know, all these mosques that are being built. And this is on the heels of this news about the epic city and, you know, who’s behind that. There’s NGOs, all kinds of stuff. Talk to us about what is happening. I mean, people are saying that we are having Sharia courts, Islamism is spreading, and that there are now residential areas that are being constructed that are considered no-go areas for Christians. What are you seeing in your office?
SPEAKER 17 :
So we’re seeing growing trends about everything you just talked about. And I got to tell you, there’s not a governor in America that’s done more to push back against all that than I have. I signed a law to ensure that only Texas law and Texas courts govern any legal issue in the state. And Sharia law has no authority to govern anything in our state. I signed a law that put an end to that Epic City development, ensuring that you cannot have residential real estate developments that basically eliminate any residents and their others than those who are part of the Muslim community. That violates the laws in the state of Texas, but also with regard to Epic City. The way they structured the whole process, for one, we believe violates Texas laws. For another, we have at least four agencies that are still currently investigating Epic City. We have the Attorney General’s Office. We have the Texas Ragers. We have the State Securities Board, as well as the Texas Commission on Environmental Equality. The point is this. Even though I signed a law to put an end to it, we know, as you kind of just suggested, that they have… never broken ground on Epic City. They have now tried to rebrand themselves under something more innocuous like the Meadow, but it’s still the same people behind all that process that are operating it. And so our goal is to make sure that the ways in which they’re trying to circumvent Texas law and Texas jurisdiction is not going to be allowed.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah, that’s I was looking at. They decided that they’re going to resubmit. I don’t know if they’ve done this already. They’ve according to community capital partners, they’re apparently planning to resubmit to Collin County and seek approval to form their own municipal utility district now under the meadow. Because, you know, you just change the name governor and everyone’s like, it’s a new project. It’s OK.
SPEAKER 17 :
Well, and it’s such a harmless name. But listen, they can change the name, but they can’t change the legality of the flawed structure they’re trying to impose. You mentioned something, Dana, earlier. You talked about concerns about no-go zones. And if you look at the way this process was structured when it was Epic City, and I have no doubt the same will be true for the Meadow, and that is they did have no-go zones. They had a system where if you bought land there, and you wanted to sell that land, you’re going to be required to have to sell that land back to the mosque and the imam in charge of that. That’s not the freedom of property or freedom of transaction that’s allowed in the state of Texas. And that’s just one of several different ways in which they were trying to limit that entire area to being Muslim only. And that also violates both the laws and constitution of the state of Texas.
SPEAKER 02 :
And I thought and for those just joining, we’re talking to Texas Governor Greg Abbott from one of the and I don’t know if this is, you know, sometimes there’s a lot of information online and you’re trying to vet and see which is what’s true and what isn’t, because things can be overblown or under, you know, underblown, really. But there were some reports that I guess like HOA fees or things like that would actually be paid to the mosques in these communities. Do you know anything about that? Yeah.
SPEAKER 17 :
Sure. And that’s exactly right. And it gets even more complicated and maybe worse because whether they’re called HOA fees or whatever, there are fees that are required to be paid. It goes to the mosque. And according to the information we have, part of that goes back to officials or leaders, if you would, back in other countries. higher-up imams. And so this is something, and this is one reason why there’s a lawsuit for fraud and other things, and that’s because it was not clear at all in the paperwork about how this money was going to be used and how it’s going to be required to go back to the mosque and to the mosque leaders, whether they be in the United States or some other country. And so they tried to hide the ball of what they were trying to impose. And only investigations revealed the structure that they had created that was so flawed.
SPEAKER 02 :
That is that’s insane, because there’s no way you could do that with an HOA here anywhere else. If you were paying a church, if the fees had to be directed to a church, people would be filing lawsuits because from what I understand, that’s a violation of state law.
SPEAKER 17 :
Correct. And that’s just one of multiple legal issues that have been raised that are being looked at by the Texas Attorney General as we speak to enforce it, to make sure that whether it be called Epic City or the Meadow or whatever name they try to operate under, these types of structures based upon the law that are signed are now completely outlawed in the state of Texas.
SPEAKER 02 :
Wow. Well, I’m glad that you’re I’m glad that you’re pushing back on this. And why Texas? I guess oil and gas industry. I mean, I guess it would make sense. Talking to Texas Governor Greg Abbott, I wanted to ask you about the Sharia courts. When I first moved here in 2013 and when I when I originally, you know, I’d started at the at the blaze, still did radio, started at the blaze. I had to go through Irving, Texas. And it was really stunning to me that just a couple of years before I moved there, Governor, there was a story of an honor killing in Irving, Texas. Beautiful suburban neighborhood. And a father had killed his two daughters and went on the run before being apprehended because he was upset that they were becoming westernized. Now, you and I both know Congresswoman Beth Van Dyne was the mayor of Irving. They had the Clockboy incident. And it seemed like you had care and every other Islamist activist, everybody coming down on Irving police, etc. Then there was the discussion of Sharia courts, because at the same time they were wanting to establish, I don’t know how, a Sharia court in Irving. Now, Governor, you’ve talked a lot about this. Tell folks, I mean, that’s Islamic jurisprudence, which is completely against our American justice system here. We don’t have any currently actual legitimate Sharia courts, do we?
SPEAKER 17 :
Well, if you look at a letter that I issued earlier today, I did tell the public as well as local law enforcement that there actually are Sharia courts that are operating in Dallas, and they are trying to impose Sharia law And I pointed out to local prosecutors, both in Dallas County, as well as in Collin County, as well as to the Attorney General, as well as to the Texas Department of Public Safety, that what they are doing with these Sharia courts that we have identified in the letter that I issued today, they are in violation of Texas law, including violation of Texas penal codes. And so what they’re doing in part could be considered a crime, but also clearly a violation of the Texas Constitution and our statutes to prohibit Sharia law in the state of Texas.
SPEAKER 02 :
Who are the entities, Governor, behind this? Because they’re getting money to fight for this in some manner, and it’s not just from the community.
SPEAKER 17 :
Well, so that’s a great question that we will find out the answer to. However, I believe that one of the organizations behind this is CARE. And it’s one of the reasons why I issued the proclamation that I issued yesterday. And that is to declare CARE both a foreign terrorist organization as well as a transnational criminal organization and to limit the ability of either CARE or any of their affiliates to buy or own land in the state of Texas.
SPEAKER 02 :
Wow. Before we run out of time with you, Governor, and I think this is all this is all incredibly important because ultimately I think this is where the battle comes as as not to sound, you know, very Armageddon esque. But, you know, it is when you look at what’s happening around the world, people have every justification to be concerned about this, especially when it’s, you know, a Sharia. And I mean, I brought up the guy who did the honor killing because that’s considered acceptable in Sharia court. That’s acceptable. So it’s definitely to be nervous about it. Switching gears, property taxes. Oh, Governor, you know, this is an issue close to my heart, mine and a lot of other Texans. You are looking at going after property taxes. Now, it says my headline that I’m looking at says your property tax reform plan. Governor, nothing would make me so more excited than if you went out and said we just need to get rid of property taxes outright. What is the likelihood of you saying that? Can I convince you to go all the way and just say, let’s get rid of property taxes? Because it’s almost Christmas. Well, part.
SPEAKER 17 :
So first of all, know this, and that is this past session, we used $51 billion of the revenue we have in the state of Texas to reduce property taxes. And that was approved on the ballot this November. And the way that it decreases property taxes is it increases your homestead exemption from school district property taxes. But that said, one thing we found, Dana, and that is every time we pass laws that try to buy down your property tax rates, and let me clarify this. The state of Texas does not impose a property tax. They’re only imposed at the local level. Every time we use billions of dollars to buy down your property tax rates at the local level, local jurisdictions come from behind our back and raise those property taxes. So I have five quick solutions, one of which is going to be going at exactly what you asked for. But number one, the only reason why property taxes ever go up is because spending goes up. The state of Texas has four constitutional spending limits. Local jurisdictions that impose property taxes, they must have spending limits also. Second, anytime there is an attempt to raise your property taxes, voters should be able to vote on it and we should have a two-thirds voter requirement in order to get that passed. Third, we should have rate rollback elections where if you think your property tax increase is too high, you and 15% of your fellow Texans should be able to get a petition, put it on the ballot where you can roll that rate increase back to where it was before. The third is appraisals. Appraisals are too high. Let me tell you one reason for that is because Texas law currently allows appraisals to increase 10% a year, which is skyrocketing far faster than the rate of inflation. I want that to be reduced to no more than 3% a year with appraisals being done only once every five years. And then, so all four of those, they apply to every property owner of any type. I do have a proposal that deals only with homesteads. Now, take you have a homestead, and if you have a homestead in the state of Texas, you get an exemption. However, I want to add another constitutional amendment, and that is for every homestead in the state of Texas, you will no longer pay a school district property tax. The school district property tax is about two-thirds of your property tax bill. So we have a way of eliminating… With the four proposals I just talked about and the reduction of eliminating your school district property tax bill, that will cut your property tax bill in more than half, probably in two thirds.
SPEAKER 02 :
I love all of these. We got to cut that. We got to put that out for the folks. I love all of these. And I think that’s a very important point that you just made, too, because I’ve seen the emails and people knew that you were going to be on the program today. And they’re asking, do you need to tell Governor Abbott? He’s got it because you can single handedly do this. And I understand where they’re coming from. But they’re saying you’ve got to tell Governor Greg Abbott he needs to just get rid of property taxes. But it is locally determined. It’s not something that the state does. So people need to really pay attention to what happens in their backyard. Governor, last word before I let you go.
SPEAKER 17 :
Well, you’re spot on, but just know that, listen, we know affordability is a big issue. And affordability is a big issue for homeowners. And Texas is building more homes than any other state. The increased supply is going to drive down the cost of housing. But the real burden on people right now is the property tax bill they have to pay. If they will insist that their local state representative and state senator back my plan, your property taxes are going to be slashed dramatically.
SPEAKER 02 :
Ooh, we got to get that through Austin. Governor Greg Abbott, always a pleasure. Thank you for your attention on all of these and explaining it so succinctly. We do appreciate it. We look forward to talking with you again. Thank you.
SPEAKER 17 :
Thank you, Dana.
SPEAKER 02 :
We’ve talked about Relief Factor before, 100% drug-free. They want me to tell you about this guy named Bob. Bob is 63 years old. He’s got 40 years as a car painter and a body man.

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States.
SPEAKER 20 :
I would be disturbed. I’m telling you, I would be alarmed. I’m alarmed enough when I see a woman with her dangling boobies.
SPEAKER 19 :
If I saw a penis in the ladies’ locker room, I would freak out, too.
SPEAKER 20 :
This is just, I mean, this is nothing against trans anybody. What it’s saying is, if I turn around and I see a pee-pee, a a penis in front of me inside of the room, I would probably go to management and say, wait a minute, why is there somebody, a naked man in this room? Because just the world we live in, just from a safety standpoint and just from a, you know, from a privacy standpoint, I would, so I can see why she would have gone and reported to management. There’s a man naked in the bed. Now, if they clarified and they said, well, transit, okay, but I think they should take her concerns also seriously. Because if she’s uncomfortable, does she not have the right to be at least uncomfortable with the situation? Is what I’m saying.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah. I cannot even believe… What… What do we do, guys? I don’t know what to do here. She said something that was not wrong.
SPEAKER 11 :
Right. What timeline are we living in?
SPEAKER 02 :
This looks around the room. This is weird. I don’t know what to… That… That’s not wrong.
SPEAKER 11 :
That’s what we’ve been saying since day one.
SPEAKER 02 :
Wait, is she also now a racist bigot?
SPEAKER 11 :
She is. I was told that
SPEAKER 02 :
If you, I literally was told by someone because it had to do with a story with a man, a black man who was pretending to be a woman. And someone said, you’re just a racist bigot. And I’m like, I don’t care what color the Franken beans are. I just, they don’t belong in the women’s bathroom. They don’t belong there. That has nothing to do with race. I don’t even understand this. It’s so weird. That doesn’t – so she – by the way, her hat said petty. She just – that needs to be part of her uniform forever. But I don’t – when someone says something that is correct, I want to encourage them to say more things that are correct. I’m a positive reinforcement person. Like criticism does not work on me, but positive reinforcement, I’m – what? Kind of like Trump, I guess, in that way. But so I want to encourage her to say more things that are correct. But, you know, she’s just going to go right back and say something that’s like completely ridiculous. Probably today. I don’t know. But that both of those ladies were they were both correct. They were both correct. I don’t know. Stick with a second hour on the way. Friends over at Patriot Mobile, Patriot Mobile. is the only Christian conservative cell phone service that’s out there.

SPEAKER 21 :
Rest the body. I first want to give you all a sense of what was happening that day. Everyone knows at that hearing in February, the entire country was watching. as Michael Cohen decided he was going to finally give up information about what was happening in the Trump world, the Trump enterprise. And at the beginning of that hearing, the ranking member, Jim Jordan, had the disrespect to Elijah Cummings, may he rest in peace and his name be a memory, after not allowing Mr. Jordan to shut the committee hearing down. And I turned to Mr. Jordan and told him to have respect for the chair and to basically shut up. And that moment went viral. And I began to get innumerable texts from friends, from foes, from constituents about what was happening in that hearing. And I got a text from Jeffrey Epstein, who at the time was my constituent, who was not public knowledge at that time that he was under federal investigation, and who was sharing information with me.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah, but this was after he was convicted. I mean, he was a known sex offender. How did you not know? I mean, it was one of the most famous cases in the United States. He was already convicted. What is she talking about? That’s Stacey Plaskett. Why did they think that that was a good idea to send her out there to talk about this? I mean, I love that they did, but why? If you’re a Democrat, why? They just, why are they doing the stupidest things? Guys, I have a great idea. Let’s put our non-voting delegate member out to go and talk about why she was texting with Epstein. Because he was already, when was this? I mean, because he’d already been, he was a known sex offender.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, this was 2019 when this was supposed to happen.
SPEAKER 02 :
Oh my gosh. So yeah, that was like, what in the world?
SPEAKER 11 :
He was already under active federal investigation.
SPEAKER 02 :
Oh, my gosh. By the way, she acts like this was just a simple text exchange and that’s all it was. But it went way beyond that. Do you do you simply if someone first off, if they’re a member of Congress and they’re in a hearing and they’re questioning the president’s attorney on this stuff? Does a casual acquaintance have the ability to text you directly during that? I mean, that’s a legitimate question, right? First and foremost, let’s just start there. They were, she was a don’t, they, she, oh boy, oh man, it’s going to come out. I’m telling you. Welcome back, by the way, to the program. Dana Lash with you. We’re at the top of this second hour. And, yeah, she just kept digging the hole. She just kept digging. She, first off, I mean, didn’t she get, he was a donor from what I understand. I mean, she was a defense for him. He had her as a help, as defense. I mean, she had been asked at one point, and this is from, I think Matt Taibbi had reported on this, him and a couple of others. I’m looking at one story that lists how she was an attorney at Keller Hulls Ferguson Croblan. Sounds like a sidebar. It sounds like a legal. Kane, that sounds like a legal firm from the corpse bride. It does, doesn’t it? It sounds like a very Keller Hulls Ferguson Croblan. They handled his taxes. So when he got that Caribbean island, what is it like little? St. James or something like that. When he bought that island, that was the firm that he used. Oh, yeah. Now it all comes out. She left right before they were finalizing it. She was the general counsel for the Virgin Islands Economic Development Commission between 07 and 2012. She was with the firm that handled Epstein’s taxes. She was with the firm that helped him buy that island. And there was this story of or not a story. There were people asking questions on social media because she had a gap. She’s on LinkedIn. So she had a gap on LinkedIn. And apparently that’s. Where she was during that gap. That’s where she was working during that gap. She was asked if she did. She did a gave a deposition in 2023. She was asked if she worked for him or if she worked with him or for him or on any Epstein related business. And you know what her answer was? I don’t recall. That was one of the biggest deals that that firm did down there. It was the biggest private property acquisition that they were handling. And when you’re the attorney there, when you are the counsel for this firm, that’s something that you’re going to have seen. And you’re going to remember it. I mean, a dude who’s already under investigation and has a super skeezy rep buying an island down there, yeah, you’re going to remember it. But then she was asked because she went to his house at one point. Stacey Plaskett, the woman who was getting texts from Jeffrey Epstein when at a hearing at the time they were questioning Trump’s attorney and he was trying to help them bury politically Trump. And she had gone to his house at one point. And she was asked during this 2023 deposition, she was asked, well, why were you at his house? Like, why were you there? It’s kind of weird. She said, oh, I was raising money for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. And She, they were, they had asked, okay, well, what, I mean, looking at the deposition, well, did you get money? And she said, well, you know, there’s a possibility that, you know, I may or may not have asked for $250,000. She said that quote does not sound unreasonable, end quote. So, huh. She is very, very, she was very in tight with him. And that came, I mean, all of this, even knowing his rep, knowing he was under investigation, even after he was convicted as a sex offender. And she says, you know, she’s not going to be lectured. This is, look, this is cut too. She was hitting back at everyone who was asking her, why were you getting texts from
SPEAKER 21 :
from this guy he was programming you to tell you what to ask listen now i heard recently from someone that i was seeking advice from him let me tell you something i don’t need to get advice on how to question anybody from any individual i have been a lawyer for 30 years I have been a narcotics prosecutor in New York City. I have been had the honor of being a political appointee at the Justice Department after September 11th as a Republican appointee in the Bush administration. I know how to question individuals. I know how to seek information. I have sought information from confidential informants, from murderers, from other individuals, because I want the truth.
SPEAKER 02 :
Oh my gosh, but we know that’s not what you were doing. He was telling you what to ask. We know because we have all of the documents that show the emails from Epstein between him and Wolf and the snakes. that were in Trump’s inner circle looking to stab him in the back. People like Steve Bannon, who’ve only ever done that. That’s why he was run out of the White House, by the way. Not very America first. They were all circling. They were working to undermine him. And we know for a fact that Epstein was working with Michael Wolff and others to try to, they were everything, anything he could to help Democrats take down Trump. It sounded like he had a petty personal grievance, didn’t it? That’s what somebody, that’s how somebody acts when they’re trying to, they know they’re in the wrong and they’re petty and they have a grievance and they want to take revenge. That’s what it sounds like. I cannot believe this Stacey Plaskett story is not bigger than it is. Can you imagine? What if she had been, I know, I know, I hate doing the what if thing, but just for a moment, realize how insane Democrats would be right now if that had been a Republican. Getting texted prompts on what to ask the president’s attorney. And if it was a if it was a Republican doing that. Oh, my gosh, Biden. We were excoriated for merely questioning what’s wrong with Biden that he can’t pick up his feet when he walks. Good night. And then. She got called out. This is cut three. I mean, really, why did they have this woman get up here and do any of this? Because now she just looks a fool and this party stuck with her. This is cut three.
SPEAKER 21 :
Because at the end of the day, I know that in the Trump administration and with my colleagues over there, it’s not about sexual assault. It’s not about support of victims. It’s about money. It is about money. I have consistently stood against sexual violence and the exploitation of women and children in previous careers as well as here in this body. We all know that Jeffrey Epstein’s actions were absolutely reprehensible.
SPEAKER 02 :
Why were you getting texts from him then? She thought they were reprehensible, but not so much that she wasn’t going to go to his home and get six figures. She thought they were reprehensible, but not so much that she wasn’t going to get prompts in the middle of a hearing. He was important enough to be able to access her in the middle of a congressional hearing while she was questioning the president’s attorney. I mean, think about it. If he was able to do that, who else was he able to? To just get a hold of. I know that they really, really want to pin this on Trump. And look, I’ve told you all before, I don’t have a dog in this fight. If somebody is acting up, then they should be called out. That’s just the way it is. I don’t care. I don’t get a check from anybody’s family. I don’t get a check from any of these politicians. I don’t give a rat’s backside. I don’t care about their stupid cocktail parties. I love staying not in D.C. I love it. But the facts are what the facts are. And I’m going to tell you, the only people that keep getting implicated in this over and over and over again, without exception, are Democrats. I mean, they just keep coming up in all of the emails and everything else. And the only Republicans that are being implicated are people like Bannon. I find that intriguing. That’s it. Not POTUS. Look, if something came out, fine then, show me. Show me. I believe evidence. I believe fact. I’m not a partisan. That’s one of the reasons why so many GOP Republican establishment types, they cannot stand me. But I just go where the evidence is, where the truth is, and this is what the truth and the facts are showing. I have more of an incentive to be on the side of implicating POTUS than not. I mean, golly, you get clicks from doing that stuff. You get on all the networks on that, but that’s not what any of this shows. It doesn’t show it. You know, what did Johnny Cochran say? The glove don’t fit. You must quit. Why all family pharmacy?

SPEAKER 02 :
All right, so, ooh, Aliens, the spaceship Three-Eyed Atlas. You know, it’s our favorite deep space turd. Actually, it’s not deep space anymore. It has 12 anomalies, and apparently it’s all, it’s said to approve alien theory, the anomalies. They said that it has a retrograde trajectory. that it displayed a sunward jet. I don’t care. Sure, yeah, we all know that its nucleus is a million times larger than the other interstellar object that passed through space, and it moves a lot faster. The arrival time was fine-tuned to bring it within tens of millions of kilometers from Mars, Venus, Jupiter. Its gas plume contains much more nickel than iron, which is found in industrially produced nickel alloys. The gas plume contains about 4% water by mass. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I’m coming back to this. The long story short, long story long, is that they think this is still an alien spacecraft, and I really, really hope that it is. Because I want them to come down and whoop us because I’m done. I’m not kidding. You guys think I’m joking. I won’t go out by alien. That’s like outer space alien. Not illegal. Okay. Let’s see. Oh, no. This is dumb. First human case of H5N5 alien flu. Sorry. Avian flu. They’re saying it’s in Washington State. We’re all going to get that bird flu. No, we’re not. We’re not going to get it at all.
SPEAKER 11 :
I remember how COVID started.
SPEAKER 02 :
I did too, yeah. A 22-year-old man fights for his life because he swallowed a whole burger without chewing it as a joke. Don’t do this. That’s horrible. I can’t even imagine how painful that is. He swallowed an entire burger as a joke. He’s on a ventilator. He’s got significant damage to his vital organs. Can you imagine that you might not, like, wow. He… Just awful. He began panicking after swallowing the burger, collapsed on the ground, and he just, wow. I can’t even imagine. I don’t even know how that happens. How can you swallow a whole burger? Was it like a white castle? I mean, I don’t know. I don’t know how that works. Japan, a bear entered the shopping mall in the Kida Prefecture, and it was killed over two hours later. They’re having a serious problem with bears. Their population’s a little bit… little bit skewed right now, the bear population. And so they tranquilized it with a blow dart. And then they unfortunately did have to put it down. It was in a real busy area. They’re starting to get more and more of these. And again, it’s because the bear population is very healthy there.

SPEAKER 18 :
Folks who also took money from somebody named Jeffrey Epstein, as I had my team dig in very quickly. Mitt Romney, the NRCC. Lee Zeldin, George Bush, Win Red, McCain Palin, Rick Lazio. I just want to be clear. If this is the standard that we’re going to make, just know we’re going to expose it all. And just know that the FEC filings, they are available for everybody to review. This is absolutely ridiculous.
SPEAKER 02 :
Wow, her staff should be fired. Because… They don’t know. Jeffrey Epstein is not a unique name. That’s Jasmine Crockett. Jasmine, Jasmine Crockett, queen of the hair extensions. It’s not her hair. She doesn’t even go here. The donors that she listed, it’s not Jeffrey Epstein. In fact, one of the ones to Lee Zeldin was from a Dr. Jeffrey Epstein who is not the same Jeffrey Epstein that she’s talking about. You know, sometimes there are people with the same name. I was telling Kane on break during 2016, there was a gooner on the right who on the right, he was not really on the right. He just couldn’t make money on the left, who Confused me. I grew up in an area where there was someone else that had my first name and my maiden last name and He confused both of us. That person is like three years older than me and like did this whole like Twitter thread about it. I’m like, that’s not even me. I never lived in this town like you idiot and had to delete them and never address it again after he was like, you know, sometimes like my stepdad, for instance, has a very common name. He got detained one time by TSA because it’s very common name. See what I’m saying? This is not all of the Jeffrey Epsteins that she mentioned. Look, as much as I don’t like some of these other Republicans that she mentioned, that’s not the same one. Her staff is really bad. Her staff just was, they went online. Oh, look at this. His name is Epstein. Must be the same guy. Must be the same person. because you can get information about these people when they donate, it becomes public record and you gotta put your address and all that stuff down. They weren’t even the same people. Like one of them, they didn’t even have the same middle names. None of the ones that she mentioned are the Jeffrey Epstein. A couple of them are the same Dr. Epstein. I had my team dig in very quickly. Well, clearly, all they did was, oh, look at this right there. He’s not a doctor. And the other guy, it’s not even like his same middle name. One guy is like from a different part of the country. This is so stupid. I mean, whatever it takes, right, for them to, like, for instance, you know, one thing that we do know is he had dinners with Hakeem Jeffries. Mm-hmm. Yep. He had dinners. Get to know you dinners with Hakeem Jeffries, New York Post. The House Oversight Committee, James Comer, showed that Jeffries’ campaign, they asked Epstein for money, like Stacey Plaskett asked him for money. They cited this 2013 email from this firm inviting this notorious pedophile, to a Democratic dinner and a get to know you dinner with Hakeem Jeffries. There is the said email. They invited him to attend and meet privately as part of their effort to win the majority. So Hakeem Jeffries was asking for money from Jeffrey Epstein. Stacey Plaskett was asking for money from Jeffrey Epstein. The Clintons were asking for money from Jeffrey Epstein. Who else are we going to see? Well, Bannon X, who else are we going to see asking for money from Jeffrey Epstein? The message, and this was well known, by the way. Everybody knew that this guy was being criminally investigated. Everybody knew it. This was in 2013. All of this kicked off like in the mid-aughts, by the way. It said, Dear Jeffrey, we are thrilled to announce that we are working with Congressman Hakeem Jeffries, one of the rising stars in New York’s congressional delegation. They literally wrote in this pitch, quote, sometimes referred to as Brooklyn’s Barack. He’s a staunch supporter of President Obama and a progressive voice for the people of New York City. And they included a video and then all of these like press clippings of Hakeem Jeffries doing stuff. They sent that out. And then they were like begging. They were begging. He’s committed to electing a Democrat majority. Shoot us an email or give us a call if you would like to get involved with a dinner or if you would like to get an opportunity to know Hakeem better. Can you believe this? Yeah, they sent that out. By the way, that was after he had been convicted in 2008 because he pled guilty to solicitation of prostitution and solicitation of prostitution from a minor in 2008. So that had already happened. Ooh. Ooh. Got that dirty money. Ooh. That’s so gross. But they didn’t care. All they saw were dollar signs. They didn’t care. Oh, and then she has Jasmine Crockett’s top-notch staff. an equal bunch of gooners getting up there. Oh, let’s go. Oh, look, it’s the same. Same Jeffrey Epstein. Same one. It’s like John Smith. All the John Smiths are the same. I mean, man, he was like a teacher and a doctor and all this stuff. Like, who knew Jeffrey Epstein had so many professions? Because it’s not the same one. She’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer, is she? Mm-mm. That’s embarrassing. Do you think she’s going to come out and be like, now I know when I said my staff, she spent more time weaving them extensions into her hair than she did looking up this information before she went out on the floor. Now I just want you to mull that over for a hot second. I’m not begrudging anybody. They’re beauty routines. But I am when I know for a fact that it takes a hell of a lot longer than the time that you spent looking up this information and then taking it to the floor. I mean, now you got this poor old dude, Dr. Epstein out there, who’s not that Jeffrey Epstein. And he’s still living. He’s just a dude. And people are going to be going at him because the brainiac, Jasmine Crockett, couldn’t believe that there’s more than one Jeffrey Epstein in the country. It’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. I’m sure somebody will top it before the day ends, but for today, it’s the dumbest thing I’ve seen. Good night. Can you believe that there’s more than one Jeffrey Epstein? She was so proud. The new extensions run into the floor. I actually liked the bob better. That has to give you a headache, having that much fake hair piled on top of your head. The bob looked chic. I don’t get it. Anyway, but I just, it’s embarrassing. So how you come back from that? Well, if you’re a Democrat, you don’t have to worry about it. That’s the fact of the matter. You imagine this. Good night. Now, I had a couple of people that were a little, they got their panties in a bunch. came over my thing on Jamal Khashoggi yesterday. I have a piece up. If you would like, I brought all lots of receipts. I tweeted about it a little earlier, too, because there was this… I think it was C-SPAN. Let me pull it up. I think it was C-SPAN. C-SPAN had… Posted somebody had asked Mohammed bin Salman, who was the the crown prince of Saudi Arabia. You know, the question that they had yesterday where they were asking him about Jamal Khashoggi and the way that Trump got in there, Trump was irate and he was mad. I don’t like it how they’re trying to act like this Jamal Khashoggi guy. It was just some innocent little kitten journalist. And we talked a little bit about this yesterday. If you haven’t read my piece in Substack, you need to. It’s open. It’s not behind a paywall. If you don’t know about the Khashoggi thing, he was this guy who, he was a Saudi citizen. He had legal status in the United States and he did some writing for the Washington Post. But he was an activist who dabbled in editorials. Right. He was an activist. I mean, he was he CIA concluded that he was murdered when he was in Istanbul and he went to the Saudi consulate in Istanbul to retrieve documents that he needed, like for about his marriage or something. I don’t know. And apparently he was beaten up and killed there and dismembered with a bone saw. Now, reporters say, and I saw this a couple of times, MBS is what they call Mohammed bin Salman for short, that they were saying that he had ordered his execution. Now, he said that he had no prior knowledge of it, but he claimed responsibility anyway because he said it happened on his watch. I don’t know. I mean, I got ideas, but I look at it like this. When you’re an Islamist and you dabble in jihadism, And you write pretty fiery editorials. The chances I mean, no one’s justifying murder, but the chances of you dying a peaceful death in your old age decrease dramatically when you live like this. That’s just the reality of that world. OK, so that’s it. But the problem is this Islamist apologist press that we have. They have claimed that he was just the simple, innocent journalist and he was just reporting truths. And he was killed for it. And they’ve used it to attack the Abraham Accords to try to assert that it’s illegitimate. They’ve been going after the alliance between the Saudis and the United States, which is about kneecapping the Iranians. He was a Hamas-sympathizing Islamist, Jamal Khashoggi. He was a Hamas-sympathizing Islamist, loved Hamas. He was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, a terror group. He was a friend, a personal friend, and had nicknames for him of Osama bin Laden. He didn’t just do an interview with bin Laden either. There’s a lot more to it than that. He’s a reported Qatari asset and he has ties to Iran and he supported Sharia. He supported Islamism. And in fact, that’s one of the biggest criticisms that he had of the Saudis is because he didn’t like a lot of the reforms that they were making. He saw them moving away from Islamism. He wants Sharia and Islamism. That’s exactly what he wants. He even created a group. called Democracy for the Arab World Now, DON for short, to go and fight against the Abraham Accords and try to undo them. So he really wanted to create a wedge. He did not want the Saudis to be allied with the United States. He did not want any normalized relations with Israel. He did not want any of those things, even the New York Times. couldn’t sugarcoat his background. Brookings, far left Brookings, even acknowledges his jihadi connections. I got a photo of him with all that, too, if you want to see it. He was a journalist in the same sense that Jim Acosta was. And when he wrote for The Washington Post, he actively promoted Islamism and the Muslim Brotherhood. He literally had a column in The Washington Post titled The U.S. is wrong about the Muslim Brotherhood. That’s Jamal Khashoggi. He attacked all the Saudi reforms. He attacked critics of Islamism. That is not journalism. That is advocacy. Now, you don’t have to agree with how he met his end to accept these truths. And like I said, it’s not justifying murder or a justification of murder. But when you live your life dabbling in jihadism, you’re an Islamist and you attack people that are moving away from Islamism. And this is a very, you know, still pretty brutal part of the world. Again, the chances of you dying a peaceful death in your old age decreased dramatically. I’m just tired of the Beltway Press pretending like he’s some innocent dove because they’re trying to use it as a cudgel against everything from, you know, kneecapping Iran, going after this burgeoning alliance with Saudi Arabia, going after normalizing relations with Israel and attacking the Abraham Accords. That’s what this is. We have more on the way. We’ve got Florida Man coming up as we move. Our partners will help bring you the program. It is our friends over at Super Beats. So, human.

SPEAKER 11 :
It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.
SPEAKER 02 :
Again, another machete, man. By the way, people from Florida still, to this day, I get emails and comments every week about how, yeah, everybody has machetes down here. I’ve never been more entertained in my life. Why is that like the gator and the machete ought to be like the state symbols? So a Florida man was arrested because he had a machete and he chased a dude with it and then broke out the dude’s. uh car window vehicle window lee county the they called him the machete maniac machete He was a disturbance. He was wielding a machete in Lake County. Cops responded as the man identified as Leo Dengalo drove to the victim’s apartment complex, initiated an altercation and then followed the victim’s vehicle erratically as if there’s any other way to follow. At the intersection, he got out of his vehicle, struck the rear window of the victim’s vehicle with a machete, shattered the glass. and uh the sheriff said the deputies acted quick they they got him and uh oh man he was making a scene all over when they apprehended him they found not one but two machetes within arm’s reach so he could dual wield i’m just adding the dual wield part i’m just assuming that he did uh a florida man was arrested in a bizarre forklift and atm joyride through the streets this is Tallahassee. He’s in custody. Police say that he was involved in this alter this this crime spree. He stole a forklift and then an ATM early Monday morning. He took both of them and then he just drove through town trying to flee from officers. He was trying to flee. with the forklift on an ATM and it had the light spinning so it was like not hard to see it. The chase was described as brief and he was safely apprehended without any reported injuries. They walked up to him and they go, what’s up, bro? And he’s like, what do you all got going on? They’re like, you. you right now oh my he was in a yellow hoodie and yeah he got out of the forklift like i don’t know what’s happening what’s going on what are you guys doing here like they couldn’t see him i don’t know man i can’t uh let’s see here we got a couple of others by the way how fast can you go in a forklift i need to ask my stepdad he’s forklift certified yeah not fast at all that’s intentional And then a Florida woman went 107 miles per hour on U.S. 19 trying to get to Little Caesars before it closed, according to police affidavit. She, Yasmin Erazo, was just, she meant business. She was going 110 miles per hour on a 55 mile per hour highway. She was done trying to get to that Little Caesars so she could get her a slice for supper before they closed. They closed at 12 a.m. And she was asked, why are you driving so fast? There’s no emergency. And she said, officer, Little Caesars is about to close. And I got to get there. Got to get got to get a pizza. So, yeah, she was placed under arrest because apparently not only was she speeding out of her mind, but she was driving recklessly. So, you know, we got our third hour on the way. Don’t go anywhere.

SPEAKER 15 :
I’m Senator Alyssa Slotkin.
SPEAKER 14 :
Senator Mark Kelly. Representative Chris Deluzio.
SPEAKER 15 :
Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander. Representative Chrissy Houlihan.
SPEAKER 14 :
Congressman Jason Crowe. I was a captain in the United States Navy.
SPEAKER 15 :
Former CIA officer.
SPEAKER 14 :
Former Navy. Former paratrooper and Army Ranger.
SPEAKER 15 :
Former intelligence officer. Former Air Force.
SPEAKER 14 :
We want to speak directly to members of the military and the intelligence community who take risks each day to keep Americans safe.
SPEAKER 15 :
We know you are under enormous stress and pressure right now. Americans trust their military.
SPEAKER 14 :
But that trust is at risk. This administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens. Like us, you all swore an oath to protect and defend this Constitution. Right now, the threats to our Constitution aren’t just coming from abroad, but from right here at home. Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders.
SPEAKER 15 :
You can refuse illegal orders.
SPEAKER 12 :
You must refuse illegal orders.
SPEAKER 15 :
No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution.
SPEAKER 14 :
We know this is hard. And that it’s a difficult time to be a public servant.
SPEAKER 15 :
But whether you’re serving in the CIA.
SPEAKER 14 :
The Army. The Navy. The Air Force. Your vigilance is critical.
SPEAKER 15 :
And know that we have your back.
SPEAKER 14 :
Because now, more than ever, the American people need you. We need you to stand up for our laws, our Constitution, and who we are as Americans. Don’t give up. Don’t give up. Don’t give up. Don’t give up the ship.
SPEAKER 02 :
People, these are people, some of whom never served, that are cosplaying. Don’t give up the ship. What is this? So these are military members. They’re, sounds to me like they’re going after Secwar.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 02 :
Hmm. Hmm. Yeah. So they’re saying these lawmakers, not every one of them have military background, some intel. They did this video and they’re telling them refuse it. What illegal orders are you talking about? Welcome back to the program. Top of this third hour. Dana Lash with you. Alyssa Slotkin, six other lawmakers or five other lawmakers. What are the threats to the Constitution coming here? There’s no specificity. Where? Like, give me an example. What are you talking about? They’ve been trying to limit POTUS’s ability to deploy the National Guard. And you guys know what the National Guard is doing, right? They’re protecting, and this is all they’re doing, and it’s completely within the power and the authority of POTUS to do so. They’re protecting federal buildings, federal installations, federal employees from these nut jobs that you see in Chicago, et cetera, that have been out there targeting them. At Democrats encouragement. And they’re upset over the narco terror action. Stand up for our law. It sounds like they’re telling you to be insubordinate. They didn’t make a video like this, by the way. When we lost 13 service members in Afghanistan. They didn’t make any kind of video. On that, remember when under Joe Biden and General Milley, they decided to leave Bagram. And remember where they went? They went to Hamid Karzai, right in the middle of Kabul. The completely unprotected Hamid Karzai International Airport in the middle of populous Kabul. That was completely controlled by the by Taliban actors. And remember, the Taliban was already coming up through. I mean, they didn’t they didn’t make a video then. Secwar said stage four TDS. And he’s right. I think that’s shameful that these people did this. Absolutely shameful that they did this. This is, you know, I expect it from Democrats. Sounds like an insurrection to me. That sounds like an insurrection. They’re mad because they lost an election and now they want the military to intervene. That’s what I’m hearing. They want the intelligence community, which already has been, by the way, let’s be honest, to intervene. It has been. Don’t sit here and tell me it hasn’t. That’s what go back to 2016. You had a FISA judge completely sign off on a surveillance warrant. To go after people because they were upset over the 2016 election. So this has already happened. You already had the FBI looking at parents who were speaking up at school board meetings. I mean, so we’ve already been we’ve already done this. Democrats already got the intelligence community to intervene. Thankfully, there are a lot of good whistleblowers who called it out. God bless them. But now they’re telling the military to do the same thing. So they think that the military should be if they don’t. I mean, that sounds like a police state. They don’t like how the election went. So they want the military to intervene. I think they should be censured. I mean, I actually think they should step down. I think this is traitorous behavior. It’s absolutely traitorous. It’s unbecoming of elected office and shame on you for thinking, for having such little respect of our military men and women that you think that you could just call them out to be your personal enforcement squad whenever you lose an election. It’s disgusting. I mean, you can see why under Democrats, military recruitment dropped. These are the people who had no problem with, like the Air Force guy, showing up to work in a skirt and lipstick, entertaining mental illness, trying to make it a sociological experiment instead of a lethal fighting force. That is what Democrats wanted to do. This doesn’t just sound subversive. This sounds treasonous. This doesn’t just sound subversive. This is an insurrection. That’s what they’re calling for. They’re calling for an insurrection. Golly, can you imagine? I know, again, I hate saying this. Like, it’s not whataboutism. It’s showing the hypocrisy of it. Can you imagine if Trump did a video like this? Cain, can you imagine if Trump made a video where he was telling the military members to ignore orders and commit themselves to insubordination.
SPEAKER 11 :
During Biden’s administration.
SPEAKER 02 :
Can you imagine if he did that? Yeah, they already weaponized the intelligence community. Let’s not forget all of the intelligence community that signed the letter lying to your face. Where they said the laptop wasn’t real. It was Russian collusion. 51 members signed. high-ranking members of our intelligence community, including former heads of CIA and NSA, signed this letter, and they knew it was false. Remember, there were some who signed it who surreptitiously got it to the press that we actually knew it was a lie, and we had to sign it, and we signed it anyway. We knew it was a lie. I mean, they already got the intelligence community to intervene. And now they want the military to as well. I think they’ve done enough damage to the military. Don’t you think so? I think that they’ve done enough damage to the military. This is like a deep state ad. One of our listeners, Adrian, says the deep state got together and they filmed a seditious ad campaign to warn the military not to not follow the type of orders that Biden gave regularly for four straight years. True. Absolutely true. I mean, that that is dangerous. I wouldn’t want, man, when Democrats are in office, honestly, I get why enlistment’s down. Nobody wants to serve under that. Nobody wants to serve under a Democrat administration where they will go and get people killed. It’s like that’s on purpose. Shame on these people. It’s just disgusting. It’s just sad. It’s sad. It’s infuriating. And I, you know, we desperately need a strong military, a healthy military, you know, if we’re going to have it. I mean, with the world that we’re living in, the problems that we’re still dealing with that are leftover remnants from what we saw with Democrats. Just, just unbelievable. Just shocking. I wanted to point this out to you as well. We were talking about the, what were we getting into? When I, This was care. We were talking about care with Texas Governor Greg Abbott. The Council for American Islamic Relations was caught handing out $1,000 checks to writers on campus. Two things. There’s this story. And then I was reading about how the quote unquote Palestinian, and I don’t like using that term because it’s a fake term. It’s a term that Romans gave the area despite the Jews after the second Judean uprising. It’s named after some people that were seafaring people and came from Crete and they had left 200 years earlier. So the authority there that runs the territories is And how everyone’s like, oh, well, we just need to have them run Gaza. No, not the Palestinian Authority also. You know, they’re still paying the salaries of, you know, the martyrs fund in 2025. So far, they’ve paid over 200 million dollars. You know, the the fund where people go and they can kill infidels and then they get money for it. That’s like a big money making thing over there. They’re never going to stop that money. So that’s why it’s a joke to say that the authorities should handle anything because they’re paying people. You can’t handle them. They’re already the way they are. And the people are never going to not support them because they’re getting money. It’s funding for terror. They’re like paying people to be terrorists. They already committed $214 million and the year’s not even done. Last year is $144 million. It’s like doubling it. That sounds very familiar to what CARE is doing, which is why I brought CARE up. Doesn’t it? CARE is doing the same thing. They’re doing the authorities pay to slay. So, I mean, that makes sense why there were so many people all of a sudden that were popping up with their little, you know, keffiyeh things and they’re running around and they’re targeting Jews all over campus. Oh, they’re getting paid by CARE, which is not AIPAC, by the way. They’re getting paid by CARE. And the Council for American Islamic Relations, Red State and New York Post have this. $1,000 per student, the handout checks, if they’ve been disciplined by colleges for going after Jewish students. I mean, that sounds like very similar to what the Palestinian Authority is doing. Right? I mean… That explains so much. And that’s why they were very incentivized. That’s what the left does. That’s what the left does. That’s what they did with Occupy Wall Street. That’s what they did with the Antifa stuff, with the Soros thing. But that’s, I mean, that’s exactly what it is that they do.
SPEAKER 1 :
$1,000.
SPEAKER 02 :
That also seems real cheap, Cain. It does. I feel like that is really cheap.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, but those college kids are looking at it and they’re like, oh, that’s decent money. Gonna go out there and cause some problems for a thousand bucks.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah. I’m just saying. Our partners over at Burning Gun, I’ve told you guys I believe in diversifying your weapons array. You’re not able to carry all the time. I have no problem using lethal force. I tell you guys this every day. I carry. I have no problem using lethal force. But sometimes, you know, you’re restricted because of local or municipal property restrictions. Or if you’re a college kid, you know, you live on your own, you’re going to school in a different town you can carry a firearm full auto overseas in defense of your country but not a nine millimeter here in defense of your life so this is where burn a gun comes in it shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away there’s several models i think it’s you know i only see the point in talking about the sd and the cl because that serves the purpose that you’re looking to serve right self-defense this, the CL compact launcher is a super concealable. It’s like the size of like roughly about the size of your phone. Uh, there’s no, uh, recoil. It’s super easy target acquisition. And when you compare this to stun guns, stun guns have what maybe one or two rounds. This has a 15 shot capacity per cartridge, 15 round capacity per cartridge. Uh, and, uh, it’s, uh, I mean, he doesn’t care about gun-free zone signs. That’s the thing, right? You didn’t care about that. You don’t have to pay a tax stamp. There’s no background checks. You order it online. It comes right to your door. And it’s made right here in the U.S. of A. It’s Burna. Check out their Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale. Get 15% off site-wide.

SPEAKER 11 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 02 :
All right, so first up, the… Why is this? I wanted to revisit this from yesterday. It’s so weird. 81 monkeys on meth in a car. 81 monkeys on meth. You take one down, pass it around, 80 monkeys on meth in a car. That actually happened. It’s not just, I’m not just joking. Two rangers, or Thai rangers arrested two dudes who were a part of an international wildlife smuggling network, and they were intercepted in a car carrying, how is this pronounced? I really want to get, hang on, hang on. Pronounce this. I can’t, I got, it’s live radio. How is this? okay so 81 were trapped in this car near the cambodian border right what was that what macaques yeah that’s how you say it that those were the the it was 81 of those it’s a type of monkey macaques i did too it’s macaques yeah that felt better to say um And also like more biologically accurate. But it was near the Cambodian border. Major transit hub for wildlife smugglers and a patrol car stopped them. And they found all of these macaques stuffed into blue net bags and also a ton of meth and crystal like meth. I said that meth. Stop it. I said it already. They said no quantity was specified. They were all in these bags in the back of the truck. This is horrible. I feel so bad for this thing. Moving on. A tourist is blamed for burning down a sacred Chinese temple with the irresponsible use of candles. Oh, Bernice, I told you not to burn them glade candles. Tourists burned down a Chinese temple with their candle. Okay, there you go. We got Congressman Chippewa coming up. Stick with us. So folks at Caltech, the Peacekeeper program, this is a new program that they are implementing. And the Peacekeepers Program, it supports people who protect our communities, military, law enforcement, church, security teams, SROs. Faith-based teams and SROs usually use small concealable pistols. They got limited range in that. So Caltech has long guns that solve that problem. And they fold compact, like the RDB, et cetera, for discrete carry and deploy within seconds to full rifle capability. Now, Peacekeepers Participants, also get mission-ready support like extra platform testing. They get armorer training. They get direct peacekeeper pricing for budget-conscious organizations. And it’s already active. They’ve equipped over a couple of dozen churches throughout the Faith-Based Security Network in Florida. And Caltech proudly partners with the Faith-Based Security Network. And so everybody gets access to all of this, including mission-ready tools tailored to faith environments. And they also get that manufacturer’s pricing. So if you’re interested in this new Peacekeepers program, use the contact form at keltecweapons.com slash Dana. That’s keltecweapons, K-E-L-T-E-C dot com slash Dana.

SPEAKER 09 :
So we know that the intentional attacks that are coming from the Trump administration and the extreme right in this country has very much been what I call is it’s an attempt to relitigate the Civil War. Right. They have not accepted the results that the North actually won. Right. Because if you look at all of the attacks, it’s not just black cities. He’s going after education, housing, transportation, good paying jobs and health care. Those are literally the five demands of descendants of slaves. Oh, my God. So it’s evident that they are not, you know, committed to actually realizing the full dream of what this country can offer.
SPEAKER 02 :
That is the walking mental abortion. That is the Chicago mayor, Mayor Johnson up there in Chi-Town, who is talking with that one home decorator lady on Bravo. And I don’t know who that other chick is. But his point, though, is he’s upset over ICE. He’s upset over the detentions and he’s upset over the order where you have the National Guard specifically talking about going and protecting federal buildings and federal employees. You know, we wouldn’t be having this issue if we had not allowed everybody to come across the border for the previous administration for four years, not even taking into consideration everything with Obama, Biden. So this is why this was so interesting. So Congressman Chip Roy from the great state of Texas has unveiled what is called the PAWS Act. And it is designed to freeze immigration because we got to get some stuff in order. Congressman Roy from the great state of Texas joins me now. And I really want to see the rest of this office because I really like the artwork on the walls. I just have to say, Congressman, it always looks so nice. First off, welcome. Tell me about this, because this makes sense. There’s. There there’s so much that we are still I mean, we’re overloaded. I really feel like we got to get some things in order before we can. I mean, I agree with us. I agree with this concept. I think this is something that a lot of people have talked about for a long time, but not really. I mean, really, except for, you know, other Republicans kind of had the spine to introduce it.
SPEAKER 04 :
Well, Dana, great to be on as always. I mean, look, we’re all in firm support of the president and what he and Tom Homan and Stephen Miller and Secretary Noem and what they’re all doing to stop the disaster at the border. And they’ve effectively done that. That’s great, right? Triage would stop the bleeding. But now ICE is trying to go out and remove people. Now you’re seeing the kind of resistance they’re getting from nitwits like the mayor of Chicago who want to thwart law enforcement rather than supporting them. so what what we’re doing is we’re trying to take a look and take a step back from what state of affairs actually is we have about 51 million foreign-born people in the united states and that’s not fully accounting for the impact of the of the biden era and that’s about 16 17 of our population which is the highest it’s ever been and really truly even higher than it was in the early 1900s so the problem is is that we’re not teaching our kids to love america you know learn the Constitution, learn the rule of law, assimilate to American culture. But rather, we’re just flooding people in with, frankly, highly varied cultures that are now directly in conflict with our way of life, the Constitution, the rule of law in Western civilization. That includes Sharia law. So our view is on multiple levels for American workers to promote American families and people here to stop what’s happening, destroying our culture with Sharia law and attacking it. We need to pause legal immigration. Just pause it. I mean, all of it, by the way. Other than just limited short-term duration for tourist visas, our bill would pause it all until we’ve gone through and reformed H-1Bs, until we’ve gotten rid of diversity visas and chain migration that have been abused to flood people into our country, until we put in policies to vet for Sharia law and start removing people in conflict with our laws. until we deal with birthright citizenship, which is a magnet for people to come into the interior and have children, or Plyler v. Doe, which is the Supreme Court decision saying we must educate illegal children. The American people, particularly in Texas, are sick of it. They’re fed up. They’re tired of funding the entire illegal mass of people coming into our country or the legal mass and losing our country in the process. So let’s pause. Let’s reboot. Let’s fix our system. And then maybe in a year or two or five, we can think about opening the spigots up for people who love America, want to come here, follow our laws and live the American dream.
SPEAKER 02 :
I mean, that makes sense. I was just looking to your point, Charlotte, North Carolina, the study, the story that came out this week where they had, I think, something like 11 percent of their student body in their schools that were absent because people were worried about ICE. And that’s just one community where the tension is really, really high right now because of just this deluge that happened. And now you have 11 percent. I think that’s one of the one of the things I read in their local reporting of the of the student population. And that’s just one district that’s affected by this. That is insane. Right.
SPEAKER 04 :
Right. And think about that. That is one district in North Carolina. Imagine how bad it is in San Antonio, South Texas, or even where you are up in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Imagine how bad it is. And remember, the Plyler-Bideau decision was a Texas case from roughly 1982 or three, 40 years ago. We’ve been living under this opinion, like we lived under Roe, like we’ve lived under other bad decisions, where now the people of Texas are forced to pay with our taxpayer dollars for the education of children of people who came here illegally. And look, I understand these are children. OK, so do you. We’re Christians. We don’t want to. you know, put people in bad positions. But we are putting them in bad positions. We’re putting Texans in bad positions. We’re bankrupting our system and creating a magnet for people to come here illegally because of this bad Supreme Court ruling, and we should fix it. And by the way, people in Mexico and South America, Central America would be far better off if people knew they were going to stay in their countries build up their countries and if we were exporting the rule of law and i think the president’s policies and trying to take out the cartels and force the rule of law south is a better policy for our country and them and so we need to fix all of this so pause immigration freeze this flood of people coming in who want to change america rather than living the american dream
SPEAKER 02 :
Now, we’re talking with Congressman Chip Roy, the congressional 21st congressional district of the Great Republic of Texas. And and I think that, you know, that makes all the sense in the world. You’ve also talked about Sharia. And I was talking a little bit earlier with Governor Greg Abbott about this because it’s a real thing. I mean, it’s not just in Texas. I mean, it’s you know, it’s this is something that we’re starting to see in other states in the union. And everybody’s been paying attention to the UK and. to France. And I mean, it’s lawlessness and disorder. And one of the things that you just said when you joined was that you’re taking cultures. Previously, when we would have immigration, you would have assimilation and acclimation. And that was the whole melting pot that progressives told us we’re not allowed to stay anymore because they want that division. But that’s really what it was. I mean, it was, you know, you’re acclimating to a new culture. We’re not having these different silos that are, I mean, Sharia and all this is incompatible with Western jurisprudence. Talk a little bit about that, because I think some of the people that I know, like in my family, they realize it’s a problem over there, like over in Europe. But there were a lot of people who really did not believe that. that it was as big of an issue here in the United States as it really is. And me telling them wasn’t enough.
SPEAKER 04 :
So I’ve been studying this issue now for a couple of years. I think I told you before maybe that the last conversation I have with Charlie Kirk that was substantive was about this issue and about how conservatives, Republicans, Americans generally do not understand the war that is being waged against us and how important this issue is. It’s London and Paris. That’s just a glimpse into the future of what we’re going to have here. Dearborn, Minneapolis, Mamdani, a glimpse into the future of what America is going to look like if we don’t address this right now. And Texas is right at the center. Texas is ground zero. I’m glad the governor did what he did yesterday in declaring the Muslim Brotherhood and CARE as effectively terrorist organizations so that we can now address those issues that need to be addressed. I’ve introduced legislation to take the tax status away from CARE. It’s absurd. They’re clearly affiliated with terrorist entities. They were praising Hamas’ attack on Israel. They’ve got somebody who was an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation debacle, which was funding terrorists, who’s affiliated with CARE now. So we should take their tax status away, but we should also be vetting people, as I introduced legislation to do, for their adherence to Sharia law. Why are we going to import people who very clearly do not want to adhere to our values into Western civilization. There are places in Scotland, for example, there are 85 jurisdictions where you can choose Sharia law or choose Scottish law. I know that I saw a reporting last week that in Texas, there’s at least at least one Sharia court in operation that’s voluntary. But all of that stuff is happening and snowballing. And if we don’t nip that in the bud now, You’re not going to have the Texas that you and I love for our kids and our grandkids. And I’m not going to sit back and let our Judeo-Christian culture and our Western civilization values get tossed aside by a clearly politically motivated group of individuals who want to Islamify Texas. I’m just not going to do it. The biggest reason why I’m running for attorney general.
SPEAKER 02 :
And you’re doing really well on that, by the way. I was looking at some new polling that came out. Apparently it was an initial ballot test for the AG race, and you seem to be in the lead, doing incredibly well. I think you, what, 38% is what you were polling at? So you seem to be doing very well.
SPEAKER 04 :
that you know our internal polls had us like 38 there was a public poll that came out had us as high as 40 so we’ve been consistently around 40 points on the initial ballot the next closest is usually around 10 points uh several in single digits so we feel good we’re going around the state uh it’s a big state as you know and uh and like we feel good about the campaign but i also have a day job there was a forum last night in uh the dallas fort worth area and uh i couldn’t go because we were here voting on epstein and then voting last night on other matters so I’ve got a day job that I’m proud to do and I’m going to I’m going to finish this job strong. I don’t I don’t believe in senioritis, you know, from high school. I think you got to I got a year left as a member of Congress and I’m going to use it for every ounce to fight up here for the people I represent.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah, well, good for you on that. You mentioned Epstein. Let me ask you about this, because I saw I can’t remember if it was A.G. Bondi or I think it came out of the DOJ’s office, but they were saying that they’re concerned about. national security implications if all of this is released the way that the public is demanding. I mean, I don’t think anybody’s asking to divulge the names of victims who want to stay unnamed. And I think everybody understands that. But that just seems to be like an excuse. It sounds like an excuse when I hear it.
SPEAKER 04 :
So let me answer this in two ways. You and I are aligned and have been for a long time on wanting full transparency. And I’ve been pushing hard for it up here, pushing the administration. I do think the Jamie Comer oversight and all of it, we’ve been doing a really good job trying to get that exposing it using the subpoena process. I think DOJ is doing a good job. Look, I think and I got to I got to be careful here about speculation and things that I know and don’t know. But as a former prosecutor, like I can promise you, they are hungry to indict any individual that’s affiliated with that network of criminal enterprise that was abusing young women. But keep in mind a couple of things. We passed the legislation last night. The Senate passed it. We’ll see what the president does. I mean, I think he’s basically said, look, I want all transparency, but we’re going to have to deal with the reality of existing laws for privacy for victims. So, for example, We had 12, 15 victims that were up here celebrating that we’re moving legislation. God bless them. I think they wanted us to do it. That means there was 950 or something victims that were not up here, the actual victims of Epstein and that were being abused. So the question is, are we going to be able to appropriately redact information to protect them if they want to be protected? Are we going to be able to ensure that we’re not creating victims by putting information out that shouldn’t be? And are we protecting grand jury secrecy, which you need to be able to do in order to get indictments? So speaking as a prosecutor and nerding out a little bit as a lawyer, that’s all I’m concerned about. That is predominantly what I believe that Cash, Dan, Pam, the president were concerned about. I think that, look, the bill moved through. It’s got some protections. But now I think some of that’s going to get litigated in court. It has to be because there’s legislation that already exists to protect victims. So that process will continue. We’ll keep pushing them. Look, President Trump indicted Epstein. President Trump arrested and indicted Maxwell. And I think we’re going to continue to go seek the truth wherever it may lead. And by the way, that crap of Plaskett, who was literally texting Epstein. In the oversight committee hearing, I was in that hearing. I was asking questions while she was getting text messages from Epstein. Like, Democrats are neck deep in this. People need to realize that she was taking money from Epstein, talking to Epstein, after she knew he was a convicted pedophile. So I hope all of this stuff gets exposed. I just pray that we protect those who need to be protected. None of the rich and powerful, princes, foreign dignitaries, you know, intel people. Let’s blow all that up. But let’s make sure we protect those victims as we go through it.
SPEAKER 02 :
And that makes sense, too. You want to make sure you don’t lose potential conviction because of a rush to get it. And I understand that as well. Yeah. And, you know, I got to say, you know, Democrats House Leader Hakeem Jeffries there. I mean, soliciting money and meeting with Epstein even after he was convicted. I mean, they all knew that to me is a huge story. And I wish that networks were covering that more. Congressman Chip Roy, always appreciate you. And we’re going to be watching the PAWS Act and seeing what that does, as well as the AG race. Thank you so much for joining us. Good to see you.

SPEAKER 06 :
So Cain and I were talking on break.
SPEAKER 02 :
About some of this stuff, because we were discussing Jamal Khashoggi and, you know, the reaction to all of that. You know, Jamal Khashoggi’s uncle, Adnan Khashoggi, was one of the guys who was implicated as an arms dealer in Iran-Contra. And I know, very interesting. Jamal Khashoggi’s family is very, very interesting. He was, his uncle was like worth, he was a multi-billionaire. He was implicated as one of like the arms dealers. He was a big arms dealer in Iran-Contra. Here’s where it gets even crazier. So do you know that Jamal Khashoggi’s uncle, Adnan Khashoggi, was also Dodi Fayed’s uncle? And Dodi Fayed, as I was telling Cain, Cain goes, why does that name sound familiar? Because he was dating that Princess Diana and was in the car. That’s all true. None of that is like exaggeration or anything. It’s weird. So Adnan Khashoggi was a CIA asset for sure. And there’s a lot of questions as to whether Jamal Khashoggi was as well. There’s a lot of a deep dive there, really is. And you guys know I’m really, I’m very…
SPEAKER 11 :
reluctant on conspiracy theories but this is a rabbit hole that is very interesting to go down today and stupidity came well i’ll have one that kind of is in line with what you’re talking about one 18 jake tapper cannot help himself uh he was talking about mbs and this was about the dinner last night that they had with trump and the rest of the crew there at the white house listen to this
SPEAKER 03 :
Let’s go back to the White House. We’re standing by to see the president and first lady greet Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Presumably he’s washed the blood off his hands, whom they are hosting for a lavish. He had to get that jab in.
SPEAKER 11 :
Had to get it in.
SPEAKER 02 :
He had to get it in. He did. Well, I mean, again, it’s not justifying anything. It’s explaining it. But when you are an Islamist and you flirt with fire, that’s kind of, you know, you don’t die peaceful in old age. We got I’ll be back with you tomorrow. God bless.
