Our host takes you through the realities and ramifications of such a move amid a close GOP majority in Congress. From insider trading accusations to strategic misalignments, we uncover the layers behind Greene’s decision to step down and the potential impacts it may have on upcoming political strategies and elections.

SPEAKER 09 :
Are you willing to forgive Congresswoman Taylor Greene? Forgive for what? No, I just disagreed with her philosophy. She started backing perhaps the worst Republican congressman in our history. You know, stupid person named Massey. And I said, go your own way. And once I left her, she resigned because she would never have survived a primary. But I think she’s a nice person.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, he’s telling you some of what happened and why. Because that was one of the big things that I think that started on Friday that took place. Marjorie Taylor Greene resigning. And he was telling you some of the reason why. Because he feels and the way that he has said it this whole time is that it’s due to she, I guess, wanted his endorsement. for Senate he didn’t want to give it because he had looked at internal polling and then ultimately he told her it’s a no-go and that apparently made her upset I mean it could be some of that I mean there’s I think it’s probably a few other factors as well but the you know, idea that you’re going to leave your seat. And I’ll write about this more on Substack chapter and verse later for you subscribers. But, you know, you kind of have an obligation to kind of sort of finish out your term, I would think. Just finish out your term. We’re going to dive into all of that. We’ve got actually quite a bit to dive into. It’s a shortened week. because it is Thanksgiving week, and so Thanksgiving is always kind of crazy for everybody hosting, etc., etc. So we’re going to dive into this, get you set up, but also go over everything that happened this week, and a lot of stuff happened this weekend, and then kind of preview some things to come. So welcome to the show. Dana Lash with you. The chat is over at Rumble, and you can find us on Channel 347 Direct TV as well. So Where to even start today? There’s quite a bit because we’ve got Russia, Ukraine. We have stuff GOP, you know, domestically. To start with this, though, the MTG thing. I feel like it is just I feel it feels to me that it’s it’s it seems disingenuous. I mean, I was reading the story over the weekend. It happened on Friday. And my first thought was she could at least stay and finish out her term. That seems like, you know, the least that she could do. She could stay. She could finish out her term. She’s made millions of dollars in office. Let’s be honest about this. She has. I went and I looked through the public records of this. And there’s a lot of, you know, they have different trading websites that follow different lawmakers, etc., And she went in, I think, with something like $700,000 and ended up leaving with over $20 million. Now, some people say that’s because… of her family’s construction business, which we’re not talking about the family’s construction business. We’re talking about trades that have been publicly made and tracked in real time. That’s the stuff that we’re talking about. So the idea that she just made it all with construction is a lie. I mean, she did a lot of trading. I mean, she traded a lot. I mean, she’s made some million dollar deals here. And I just, I don’t know, I just tend to think that you’re not that good trading on your own. You’re not so great with the stock market that you end up making over $20 million. And that’s just from the stuff that’s publicly out there. So she made her millions. Her pension vests, her congressional pension vests on January 3rd, and she’s out on January 5th. And she leaves Republicans with one less seat in an already very tight, very tight election. majority very a bare majority really i mean that’s i mean it’s a bare majority you have 219 republicans 213 democrats and you’re going to leave us now with 218 republicans 213 democrats and one of the reasons we can’t get half of the stuff that we would like to get passed past is because our majority is so small so that’s a bit of an issue It’s a bit of an issue for, you know, I think voters who expected them, their lawmaker to not abandon them. I don’t care what our problem was with stuff in D.C. You know that this stuff is going to happen. It’s a consequence of running for office. You know that there’s going to be, you know, palace intrigue, all this stuff. You know that this is going to exist. And just to me, it seems kind of like a cop out. And it’s really disappointing to see. I also don’t see how on God’s green earth she’s ever going to be able to run for another office. There were, you know, obviously the story with the internal polling about the Senate, but also there were reports that she was interested in running for governor. I don’t see how you can do something like that when you… Can’t finish the term of the congressional seat that you have. I just don’t see that happening. So, you know, it just it’s we’ll talk more about it. But like I said, I don’t see it happening. Also, the and we’ll come back to that. Doge is out. Doge is gone. The eight months left on its charter per Reuters, this was the oversight, the financial oversight, the Department of Government Efficiency disbanded with eight months left to its mandate ending the initiative launch with fanfare, blah, blah, blah, dear God. You all know what it is. Now apparently it is no longer a centralized entity and That’s the latest. So they have a couple of employees now that have moved to a couple of different departments. But for the most part, the entity is no longer in existence. The chainsaw for the bureaucracy, as it was described by Musk. And I don’t know. I mean, I know that there were it was supposed to be something that was like a temporary thing. I get it. However, at the same time, it still had eight months left. So that’s weird. It comes off as weird at a time when I feel like the Republicans need all of the help economically that they can get. So it seems like the freeze is the government wide hiring freeze. That’s something else that Doge implemented. That’s also over. And Trump has been talking about Doge. I don’t know if you’ve noticed in numerous past interviews in the past tense. So that I know there’s a lot. Let me get you set up with everything first before we dive into it. So we got that. Then we also have this mass migration statement that came in from the administration where they said that it poses an existential threat. This is also something that happened over the weekend. Department of State tweeted out, quote, mass migration poses an existential threat to Western civilization and undermines the stability of key American allies. And they said that they are reporting now the human rights implications, etc. And, wow, existential threat is how they put it. It is… They said that officials are going to report policies that punish citizens who object to continued mass migration, document crimes and human rights abuses. So this is very new language that we’ve never seen from any government department ever. Very new language and very, very aggressive. Of course, this comes after the ad buys that we’ve seen from ICE, etc., where they’ve kind of dipped into nostalgia work. were some of the ads in terms of recruitment and also enforcement. That’s pretty huge. And the fact that, I mean, this was Department of State, so this was something that was Rubio approved and that it was tweeted out. I’m looking at the timestamp here. It was tweeted out just the other day. But a human rights concern, they start by saying it’s an existential threat, undermines the stability of key American allies. They say it’s a human rights concern. They talk about crime waves. I mean, there’s nothing wrong with anything that they’re saying here. They accurately note that it’s been way too lax prior, which has which which has contributed to the deluge. But I’ve never seen language that harsh from the State Department. So pretty wild to see something like that. Also, I know we got a lot of stuff out X. The location tool now for X, this is something that you may have seen or you may have heard about. The new location tool is something that identifies your country of origin where your account was created. And already it has unmasked a crazy amount of foreign actors. So a lot of these huge accounts, a lot of the huge accounts, by the way, driving some of this division on the right, which is very interesting, a lot of these huge accounts are foreign they’re not from they’re not based in the United States at all so if you click on someone’s profile there’s a little arrow where it says they you know when they joined and you click on the little arrow by where it says the year that they joined and it shows you the date joined account based in if they’re verified and when they were verified, how many times their username changes, and also how they’re connected. Like, is it the US App Store? How is it connected? And so far, this has exposed tons of foreign actors. There was a huge fake Gaza influencer network that was uncovered with this. CARE. The Council for American Islamic Relations, which we kind of already knew was not based in the United States. They’re based in Turkey and they connected via Turkey. There’s also a bunch of the what do they call them, the gripper, the right, the divisive accounts that pretend to be on the right, where it’s been shown that they are connected through foreign stores and are based overseas. Pretty unbelievable. And just thousands and thousands of these accounts. And so what it what it shows is it dovetails into something that I’ve been saying for quite a long time and that this is there has been a huge effort to. persuade and influence Americans, foreign actors trying to persuade and influence Americans. And then, of course, we also have this EU Ukraine counter proposal. So this is all happening now. The secretary of state has looked at this proposal from Ukraine. from Ukraine talking about peace between Ukraine and Russia as being unacceptable. Rubio remains optimistic. So this is very interesting. We’re going to dive into all of this. We have a lot to hit. We also have headlines on the way as we roll towards our headlines. And as we do so, the folks who help make it possible are it is uh the people over at ammo squared great this is such a great concept ammo squared first off uh you’re not gonna have to ever have to worry about panic buying or empty shelves or anything like what we did a few years ago ammo squared is america’s ammunition reserve it’s a worry-free solution to curate ammunition for the future and avoid getting caught empty-handed.

SPEAKER 22 :
Trump finally decides to encourage the release of the Epstein files and the first person exposed is a former Clinton official. Democrat Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett accuses several Republicans of taking Epstein’s money, only it’s the wrong Jeffrey Epstein. And lefties in Maryland want a $25 minimum wage due to the cost of living. These people never learn. I’m Greg Karambas, inviting you to join Jim Garrity of National Review and me each weekday for the Three Martini Lunch podcast. We’ll give you the top news, some good laughs, and we’ll be done in less than 30 minutes. Follow the Three Martini Lunch on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
SPEAKER 14 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 13 :
So emails reveal, apparently, this is from Hollywood Reporter, there was a pro-Epstein documentary that was in the works. And it was going to be, apparently, everything was going to kick off on the day of his arrest. Apparently, Steve Bannon was one of those individuals. They were making a redemptive documentary to counter the damaging narratives from Netflix’s Jeffrey Epstein’s Filthy Rich. And they were going to apparently unleash… I guess image rehabilitating documentary to show him in a new light. So that explains some of the moves with some of the former insiders from the 2016 Trump administration. Interesting. Greta Thunberg. Greta Thunberg was banned from Venice after she dumped green dye into the canals. I don’t know what this chick’s damage is. She was banned because she was dumping green dye in the canal. She was being accused of being more interested in self-promotion than in the environment. She’s a 20-something-year-old climate campaigner now. 48-hour restriction. She was banned after multiple protests over the weekend. And apparently they had 35 other activists that were also fined and banned. I don’t know what the purpose of what the point of dying at green was, but that was just one of that was I don’t know. I don’t even understand what the point of it is. It seems like it’s that was the water. Seems like it’s pretty damaging to the environment that they’re. claiming that they are out there to save, but I don’t know. Treasury Secretary says there’s not going to be a recession in 2026. I don’t know. There are a lot of people who are wondering whether or not we’re in one now. Scott Besson said he was optimistic about the economy as a whole, but acknowledged that there were some sensitive, there were some interest rate sensitive sectors that have experienced recession. But when he was asked on Meet the Press over the weekend whether or not we are at risk of entering such a recession, he said no, that he’s confident that people will they will feel economic relief next year coming from trade deals, etc. Also, the let’s see the data. This is that’s that’s not a headline. More Americans are getting their power shut off as unpaid bills are piling up. Apparently, they buried the lead like six graphs in because the Alpha Bataria, whatever lady who writes at MSNBC, needs to be fired because she can’t write a story. So if you go six graphs into the piece, you finally see that electricity prices have been triggering a number of shutoffs across the country. And so there are apparently a lot of unpaid bills because people are broke. And they said that Prices have gone up so rapidly. And as a result, it is unaffordable. Electricity is unaffordable in many areas of the nation. Interesting. And apparently 200 chickens were killed in Fort Pierce in a semi truck. crash. This is from KIRO Channel 7. They said that no humans were harmed. This is the same can’t be said for the birds. This is like one of the first headlines involving foul that don’t involve fear mongering headlines about bird flu and things of that nature. Also, we’ve got this is interesting. This just came in from the Department of War. They said that they received serious allegations of misconduct against Captain Mark Kelly. This they just tweeted this like 10 minutes before we went to air. Very interesting. Now, I’m wondering if this has to do this. They just said misconduct has to do with the Uniform Code of Military Justice. We’ll come back to this. We’ve got a lot more to touch on. Stick with us.

SPEAKER 21 :
This was super interesting, and especially to see that everything can lead to something else, like how cooking led you to be, you know, the founder, the president of a business, and even like your activities in high school, middle school, like led to this moment.
SPEAKER 27 :
Adeline, what are you looking to do with the rest of your life? Do you have a sense of that?
SPEAKER 21 :
No, not really, but I’m exploring a lot of interests right now and I enjoy music and languages. So I think maybe something in that area.
SPEAKER 22 :
Brett, somebody that’s interested in languages and music, you think there’s any hope for them? Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER 11 :
Shocking announcement from Congresswoman Greene. What went through your mind when you first heard she was going to resign on January 5th?
SPEAKER 19 :
You know what? Honestly, I was like, you’ve got to be kidding me. You’re on the other side of the president for one week and you can’t take the heat. Imagine what it is to sit in my shoes, to not only be on the opposite side of him, but to have people like her who are constantly fanning the flames of hate. And imagine what those threats look like when you literally are someone like me. But at the end of the day, I know that I serve the people of Texas 30. And so my job isn’t to be there and necessarily do whatever is going to make the president not be on my back, but instead is to focus on making sure that I can push forward with policies that are positive for Texas 30.
SPEAKER 13 :
Everything is always about her. Everything is always about her. Jasmine Crockett. She will never fail. She makes everything. She’s asked about Marjorie Taylor Greene resigning. And Jasmine Crockett’s like, but me, like, imagine me. We don’t want to. That’s OK. Not everything is about you. Really, Jasmine Crockett doesn’t move the needle very much. She just provides really dippy soundbites. and is used as a great example of how to just be a really clueless leftist. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. Bottom of this first hour. The… It is… Really odd, that whole thing where she’s… It’s about me. I mean, imagine me being across from the president. Like, she’s the only one who’s ever disagreed with him. The Marjorie Taylor Greene thing is weird because it seems like… It seems like a lot of drama. I mean, there were some people wondering if she was expecting Trump to chase her. And that’s why she announced that she was going to be leaving after the first of the year. And he’s not going to chase her. The bottom line is that they ran internal polling on her and Trump. She’s not going to farewell in a race against Ossoff going into the Senate. And the word is that Trump looked at the – was shown the numbers and he was like, this doesn’t make sense. Why don’t you just stay in the House? She didn’t want to do that. And that seems to be fueling some of this first and foremost and then some of the other policy decisions that Trump has made that seems to be kind of secondary. But I don’t know. It’s just – it’s – It seems like kind of a stunt to me, honestly. It just seems like a stunt. And I just can’t take seriously people who decide it’s too hard to continue serving the people that they swore that they would represent in D.C. You know that going in. It’s not like people run for office and then it’s surprise, we didn’t realize how tough this was. People running for office, they’re not ambushed with the reality that there might be some palace intrigue, so to speak, and it might be difficult and they may have to battle, do battle and debate, et cetera. So none of this is new. None of this was unusual. And when you choose of your own free will to represent people and you need to serve out the remainder of your term, no matter how uncomfortable it may get for you. And it just seems weak and a stunt. And I just I don’t really think highly of it because it leaves Republicans with one less seat. And then it doesn’t look well when you realize how much money that she has made apart from her family’s construction business. She’s made a lot of cash. And when you’re that close and you see certain things are going down and you make trades based on the information that you’re looking at, that’s, you know, regardless of whether or not you’re disclosing it, the problem is that you’re there in a capacity to represent people and you’re using your close proximity to the movements of a lot of these companies that affect policy as, you know, background for you to call in. and make these trades and to enrich yourself. I mean, when you leave with over $20 million after walking in with only a little over $700,000, that’s pretty insane to me. And then when you’re leaving two days after your congressional pension vests, ensuring that you get a payout for the rest of your life, that’s also pretty insane to me. And that’s exactly… She’s announced that she was resigning on… She’s leaving on the 5th and her congressional pension vests on the 3rd. So it makes… I mean, it’s completely… understandable and legitimate to ask these questions, to ask, why are you doing this now? Is it just because you made your millions and you got your congressional pension and now it’s it? Is that all the American people are good for to make sure that you’re able to make some money trading and that you get a congressional pension? Because that just seems pretty hokey. And a lot of people feel used. If I was the voters, I’d be pretty angry because it’s not like you can just throw together an election immediately either. You have to have special elections. This takes time. You have to go through the secretary of state. You’ve got to get it on the ballot. First off, you’ve got to get ballot language approved. Then you’ve got to get it on the ballot. And there’s like a whole process to doing this. It’s not like they can just come back next week and hold a special election. You know, it’s a process and it’s taxpayer funded. So taxpayers are going to be paying for yet another election. They’re going to be paying twice for the same seat. I’m just curious as to how people feel about that. Because it seems weak to bow out at this point and to call yourself a fighter. It just doesn’t seem right. And to leave an already strapped majority with even a smaller advantage. It’s just incredibly weak on multiple fronts. So I don’t know. A few things. Let me see. We’ve got some really good audio that I want to make sure that we get to as well. And here’s my rundown because I have everything up here. I wanted to hit… This was… This is cut 18-1. So in Monrovia, California… anti-ice protesters have been trying to freeze sales at the Home Depot. They buy these like 17 cent ice scrapers. They buy them and then they go and return them only to buy it again. And apparently they’re trying to, they’re mad because they don’t like the fact that ice can apprehend people at Home Depot in Monrovia, California. Watch this video. This is people standing in line doing the whole 17 cent ice scraper thing. I feel bad for the people that have to work this. I feel bad for them the most. All just standing in line, 17 cent ice scraper. Who knew that there were that many ice scrapers? In Monrovia, California. So that they can freeze sales because they’re very upset over ice being able to go and So they’ve been protesting Home Depot, a lot of laborers, according to the Los Angeles Times. This was on Saturday. The line that you’re seeing on the simulcast from the video Juan is showing, this was on Saturday. And it’s a buy-in, actually something we pioneered. Instead of a boycott, it’s a buy-in, a boycott. And so they want to scrape ICE out of their stores. That’s That’s what their language says. They had 100 people. They entered the store and they would get back in line only minutes later to return. And they just kept doing that apparently all afternoon. I really don’t know if it actually did anything, though. The general manager said, or the manager, sorry, of corporate communications for Home Depot said that the Times are not coordinating with ICE or Border Patrol, that they’re not involved in the operations. They say we aren’t notified that immigration enforcement activities are going to happen. And often we don’t know. that they’ve even taken place until they are over. They said, we are required to follow all federal and local rules and regulations in every market where we operate. So the employees didn’t interfere. They eventually closed off one of the store’s entrances, and the organizers then blocked customers from being able to access the front of the store because they had a little news conference following this. This just seems so hokey. They said it’s not okay to kidnap people off our streets. I find that a ridiculous description because you’re talking about people who entered illegally and kept committing illegal activities. They Part of this was in response to this guy who was an illegal immigrant laborer, and he had entered in apparently repeatedly, and he was struck and killed by an SUV because he was running away from ICE agents. This was in mid-August. And so now everyone’s mad at ICE because this guy entered the country illegally and fled ICE and ended up getting hit by a car. So, I mean, it’s unfortunate that he did, but that has nothing to do with the fact that he broke the law and he shouldn’t have been here. And he probably would be alive today had he not broken the law and entered illegally. All of this is just it’s so it’s all so wild. the misplaced blame and demands for accountability. But yeah, they all stood in line. They would buy it. They’d get back in line to buy another. So they’re buying just like basically putty knives. That’s it. That’s all they’re going to do. This is so stupid. That’s just such a stupid display. I mean, I… I don’t know. I don’t know what they thought that they were going to do or what they thought that – because that really didn’t do anything except make customers mad and create some lines. They really didn’t accomplish anything at all. A few other things. The X stuff, this is fascinating. So if you guys – this is one of the things that we’ve talked about on the program before. We’ve been wanting desperately to see ICE or to see X implement location for these user accounts. And they’ve done that. So they have, let me pull this up. Man, there are so many of these that have already been just completely blown up. They showed tons of people. So, for instance, you would have people who claimed that they were Israeli and that they were condemning Gaza. And it turned out they’re from like Jordan or they’re in Pakistan or they’re not at all where they said they were. That’s a lot of that is not just on the left, but apparently some of the stuff on the right as well. Like, for instance, a lot of them, some of them are saying, oh, we’re in Gaza and we’re reporting on the accurate happenings. And they just make up face fake stories about starving kids or something like that. And then the account. The marker then shows them as being based in India, for example. So the a lot of these accounts have just been deleting themselves because the grift is up now that people can see where these where these accounts are based in and who are the people that are running these accounts. I mean, there’s so many of it like care. The Council for American Islamic Relations, they’re based in Turkey and they connected through the Turkey App Store. And by the way, they were the ones that Abbott on air with us last week designated as a foreign terrorist organization, trans criminal organization. organization, transnational criminal organization as well. But it showed this like huge fake Gaza influencer network, people who were posing as like witnesses to war, but they’re actually in Europe or they’re in Central Asia. They’re nowhere near Gaza. You have a lot of people who are pretending to be Americans that are criticizing Israel or will go after the administration. And then it turns out, oh, they’re not even they’re not American. They’re based in India or they’re based in Pakistan or they’re based in Russia or somewhere. And there have been a lot of these, like a lot of these people that claim to be America first. They’ve been shown hundreds and hundreds of them originating from Thailand, Nigeria, Eastern Europe, now that the country of origin is exposed. This is actually pretty amazing to see some of this stuff because these were the ones that have been trying to divide, drive a lot of division on the right. I mean, a lot of these accounts I’ve seen in my mentions actually trying to hijack some of my posts on X. And they’ve been exposed as being either Turkish, Bangladesh, Nigerian. There’s one that was Nigerian that was in all of my mentions. Like every day, this account was like all over from Nigeria and pretending to be an American, not even American. I mean, all I mean, there’s so many of them. That’s why I was saying to you and I’ve been talking to people. on social media that so many of these, this is all a psyop. And we’re going to talk more about that because there’s more to this. We have, gosh, we have so much to get you guys set up with today. It’s weird because usually these weeks before Thanksgiving are kind of quiet, but I have so many different little pieces to touch on. And we’re going to dive into all of that, including the dough stuff, because now Lorraine says that it’s still going, but Technically, but not. Very interesting. So we’re going to dive into all of this stuff as we move. I have no issue using lethal force to protect my life or protect that of somebody else’s. And so with everything being unpredictable and the crime rates being what they are and with private property restrictions and local and municipal restrictions it’s always good to be able to diversify your weapons array and have an option when you’re disarmed under no choice of your own the burner gun shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away And it’s the CL, the compact launcher that they have. This packs a lot of, I mean, it’s concealable. I mean, it’s like the size of a cell phone, really. And it has a 15 round shot capacity per cartridge.

SPEAKER 12 :
Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States.
SPEAKER 07 :
Hey New Yorkers, one thing you don’t know about me is that I love pumpkin. This time of year, I make my favorites, including chocolate chip pumpkin bread. I’ve been doing this for decades. It’s a tradition I do with my daughter Katie. We always do it right before Thanksgiving. Now, I love anything pumpkin. I love pumpkin pie. I love pumpkin soup. I love pumpkin cocktails. But this, when you throw in, here comes the pro tip. Most recipes will tell you to put in about half of this. They’ll say about 15 ounces. Guess what I do? I throw the whole damn thing in, and it makes it so moist. Second pro tip, when they tell you it takes about 50 minutes, I pull it out about 40, maybe 35. That’s not a pro tip. It’s just underbaked.
SPEAKER 13 :
pumpkin that’s all it is by the way okay i don’t want to be snotty about it but that’s like the easiest thing you can make pumpkin bread is like the beginner baker thing i don’t want to sound like a snot but because i’m not a master uh baker but you know i bake a lot that’s like the beginner i don’t know what she’s is she trying to flex and also i think that’s the governor’s mansion right steve isn’t that the governor’s mansion that she’s in Yeah, because that’s where the kitchen looked a little bit commercially because you probably, Governor’s mentioned, you probably have people in there that do that stuff. But I don’t know, like I don’t, it’s like, oh, I do this every year. It’s my thing, pumpkin bread. It’s like the basic, most basic thing you can bake. I mean, no offense, but it just, it’s not difficult because it’s denser, so it’s easier. And, I mean, you don’t really have to worry about the moistness of it because it’s pumpkin. So it’s just, I don’t know, just weird. I don’t understand these. I need Democrats to stop pretending that they bake or that they’re in their kitchen at all. Like Elizabeth Warren or, oh, gosh, Chuck Schumer. Yeah, Chuck Schumer when he was grilling. That was one of the nastiest things I’ve ever seen. He put… Didn’t he put the cheese on the raw patty? Oh, my gosh. That’s so nasty. Salmonella, salmonella, salmonella. It’s so bad. We’ve got a lot more on the way, guys. So this is what we got coming up. Not just the X stuff, but GOP stuff. We got to look at a little bit of the polling. Immigration. Also in Florida, there’s a fight over free speech because apparently some people were heckling some Muslims who were bowing in the street and then all Hades broke loose. We’ve got that and so much more. Stick with us. Patriot Mobile.

SPEAKER 28 :
In that press conference with President Trump, a reporter asked you whether you believe that President Trump is, in fact, a fascist, a word that you’ve used in the past. You were about to answer. Then President Trump sort of jumped in and he said, quote, That’s OK. You can just say yes. It’s easier than explaining it. So, Mr. Mayor-elect, just to be very clear, do you think that President Trump is a fascist?
SPEAKER 26 :
And after President Trump said that, I said yes. So you do. And that’s something that I’ve said in the past. I say it today. And I think what I appreciated about the conversation that I had with the president was that we were not shy about the places of disagreement about the politics that has brought us to this moment. And we also wanted to focus on what it could look like to deliver on a shared analysis of an affordability crisis for New Yorkers.
SPEAKER 13 :
Golly. And then he follows it up with stupid word salad. That’s Ma’am Donnie, who I thought it was weird when he was in the White House. I don’t even know why they needed to have all the cameras in there when he went to visit. I don’t get that. I don’t get it. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. We’re at the top of the second hour on Monday, Thanksgiving week. I don’t think he understands what a fascist is. How would he have been elected if POTUS was a fascist? I mean, he’s like the worst fascist ever, apparently. And this is I don’t know. It’s just weird. I thought it was a weird thing. White House meeting that he had. There’s there’s you know, it’s it’s like this is this is cut to this is what they’re referring to. This is cut to this is from the White House visit.
SPEAKER 03 :
You asked about your comment calling the president a fascist, and your answer was, well, President Trump and I have been clear about our positions and our views. Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?
SPEAKER 08 :
I’ve spoken about… That’s okay, you can just say yes. Okay. It’s easier. It’s easier than explaining a pedo book.
SPEAKER 13 :
He’s like, yeah, you can just say it. It’s OK. Just say it. I mean, you know, come on. Don’t don’t back down now. I don’t. And then he still this is cut five. He still says that he thinks that POTUS is a threat to democracy. Listen.
SPEAKER 28 :
You’ve also said in the past that President Trump has engaged in a, quote, attack on our democracy. You’ve called him a despot. Do you still believe President Trump is a threat to the democracy?
SPEAKER 26 :
Everything that I’ve said in the past, I continue to believe. And that’s the thing that I think is important in our politics is that we don’t shy away from where we have disagreements. but we understand what it is that brings us to that table. Because I’m not coming into the Oval Office to make a point or make a stand. I’m coming in there to deliver for New Yorkers. And a few weeks ago, I was asked by a reporter three words to describe myself. I said, New York City. And that’s what animated that conversation. How do we deliver for the people of New York City?
SPEAKER 13 :
He’s tiring. He’s tiring. Just answer yes or no. It’s very easy. Well, yes, you know, I think he’s a threat to democracy. I think because he’s not a socialist, none of that makes any sense at all whatsoever. Doesn’t make any sense. But it was a weird I also think it was a weird optic, especially because now they’re the way that Republicans are approaching Obamacare. So POTUS is expected to announce the Health Care Price Cuts Act to fix the Obamacare subsidy system. Now, there’s a lot of stuff with this. First off, this is cut six. Go ahead and play this because this is what this is the next big fight within the GOP.
SPEAKER 08 :
It went the exact opposite with the biggest increase of any of healthcare in any country. It’s a disaster. And I’m calling today for insurance companies not to be paid, but for the money, this massive amount of money to be paid directly to the people of our country so that they can buy their own healthcare, which will be far better and far less expensive. than the disaster known as Obamacare. And I’ve had, I think, great support. I’ve even had Democrat support. So we want the money that would be going to the insurance company, which is hundreds of billions of dollars. You know, their stock prices have gone up by 1,000% in many cases, 1,000% over a short period of time, because our country stupidly pays them so much money with this Obamacare Scandal. So I want the money to go directly.
SPEAKER 13 :
They’re pitching basically an extension with limits. This is one of the things coming in from Politico. They’re expecting that to unveil this health policy framework that includes a two year extension of subsidies that are due to expire at the end of next month. New limits on eligibility, according to, I guess, those that are involved with these plans. The proposal is going to mark the first foray into these negotiations, blah, blah, blah. So this has been a huge fight within the right. I don’t even know why we’re extending it. I think the whole thing just needs to crash and burn because it’s just it’s completely it’s a joke. It is ruined health care. And Republicans are now turning themselves into legislative cucks over this because they’re extending it. It was part of the deal. Remember when they were reopening government, this was kind of part of the deal on this. Senate Republicans were agreeing to give them a vote on these tax credits in December. So that’s what this fight is over for December. They were agreeing to give them these cuts. And they’ve been kind of divided on how they were going to respond to this. They want to look at including new income caps for enrollees to qualify for tax credits as well as minimum premium payments. The eligibility cap, they said, would limit these subsidies to individuals with income up to 700 percent of the federal poverty line, blah, blah, blah. Enrollees pay a minimum premium. I mean, all of this is just we’re rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Why are we even messing around with us? I don’t even know why we agreed to even have a vote on this. It is absolutely been the Unaffordable Care Act. And Republicans have just been scraping to just try to. I mean, they remember when they ran going into 2014 with midterms, it was all about. ending obamacare and and you know repealing it and replacing it because they did have other plans that they could have used and none of that went through none of it went through they didn’t get a single bit of it done so now we’re arguing over extending it when oh i know everyone says oh but it’s so it’s so entrenched and there’s so many it’s going to be so difficult i don’t care how difficult it is I mean, we went through the difficulty of flirting with short term or short duration price hikes with tariffs and seeing the cost increase associated with that. So we’ve already went through that hardship. You’re telling me we can’t go through the hardship of eliminating Obamacare and overhauling health care? I think a lot of people would do that if it would save them more money in the long run. We had some really good plans. Republicans had a number of good plans that they actually didn’t get credit for, a lot of them. So this is the big fight that they’re having. Now, in addition to this, this is the other thing that I wanted to touch on as well. And we’re going to get into all the other – because there’s so much happening this week. It’s supposed to be Thanksgiving week. Lawmakers are upset over some of what they’re seeing in 26. I’m going to tell you this. I know there are people out there that say, oh, well, you can’t pay attention to all of this. It’s silly narratives. I’m telling you that the – instability of republican approval is a real thing and that if republicans don’t get it together on messaging with the economy if they don’t get it together messaging with even some foreign policy but particularly particularly the economy and increasing health insurance premiums they’re going to lose midterms and then they’re going to set themselves up for a disaster in 2028 The polling that I shared with you last week wasn’t one off. It was one of two different surveys that were released and they pretty much confirm each other independently. That and then the last election that was held. When you look at the results in New Jersey and Virginia, et cetera, a lot of people say, well, those are blue states. It doesn’t matter. That’s irrelevant. And Virginia was in play for Republicans. I mean, they had made major in the delegation. They had made major gains there. But the issue is that independents are not believing. They’re not seeing the return on the investment of their vote. They’re seeing higher prices. They’re worried about health insurance premiums. And they see Republicans out there talking about extending the very plan that has made it disastrous. They see Republicans out there talking about how, oh, no, this isn’t actually increased. Beef doesn’t cost more. This doesn’t cost more. People aren’t hurting when they’re going to check out. Well, that’s not true. I mean, the costs are absolutely up for a number of things. Now, for some others, they’ve stabilized. But you have to remember, too, we don’t have all of these deals done. It’s taking a really long time and people have only so much patience and only only so much grace that they’re willing to give. So Republicans need to get this stuff in order. Otherwise, there’s going to be a huge problem going into the elections and midterm elections. You know, November was a major wake up call because Independents did not vote the way that they had previously in the last three elections. A lot of independents were breaking for Democrats in some of these races. And it wasn’t even just those states. You can’t say it was limited to those states either. Even looking at states like Kansas and Nebraska and elsewhere, these were areas that have predominantly red Republican voters. They even suffered at a micro-local level with school board races and things of that nature. So there is a growing discontent And if the Republicans do not address it and they keep running from it and pretending that it’s all spin and they adopt what the Bidens did during his term where everything was OK, you’re not really seeing price increases. If you start lying to people about what they’re paying, they are not going to forgive you for it. They are going to turn on you and they are going to vote against you. They will make their displeasure completely known with their vote. So Republicans have got to stop. They’ve got to stop trying to spin this because it’s a true thing. You know, people are hurting. There’s real costs associated to spinning a narrative that doesn’t affirm the reality that voters are living. And you saw what happened with Biden when they did it. And you don’t want to see that happen here. With the Obamacare subsidies, I mean, there’s just really no way to fix this. Republicans need to do everything possible to not have ownership of this. Every single time they try to fix it, every single time they try to amend it, they’re just essentially asserting ownership over it as well. It’s a nightmare. So that’s something that’s not going to work. A couple of other things, too. So with this, we talked about the Home Depot thing. I’m going to get to the Florida story a little bit later. There’s a lot of stuff I haven’t even gotten up yet from previously. The mass migration statement, I want to touch on that again real quick because that is so unbelievably significant. The State Department’s statement on mass migration was incredibly strong, but it’s contradicts the policy of the administration. I got to point this out. Mass migration, the State Department said, poses an existential threat to Western civilization, undermines the stability of key American allies. This is all true. But we’re not going to be able to have these things. We’re conflict with what we’re hearing about h-1b visas and what we’re hearing about chinese students coming in and taking advantage of american universities there is a disconnect there we’re going to talk more about this uh we’re also going to talk the ongoing war on the right oh my goodness oh it’s still It’s still it’s still happening. There’s some updates as we move. It’s the folks over at Super Beats. You guys are familiar with Super Beats and human. What makes the story different is where it began. Human was founded out of the UT Health Science Center, built on real cardiovascular research around blood flow and nitric oxide. And unlike other supplement brands, human is science born, not just science ish. Their products work and you can feel them working. UT athletes have used Super Beats for over a decade, calling it their cheat code for recovery and endurance. And you can use it for the same reason, to support healthy blood pressure and circulation. Today, more than 160 college and pro teams use human products, so your favorite team probably does too. And if you’ve seen the human logo on the Longhorns field this football season, that’s more than a sponsorship. It is a signal from human and UT community together leading the future of cardiovascular health for athletes and for everyone. You can pick up Super Beats at your local Walmart and start supporting your cardiovascular health today. Get on the road to better health with Super Beats from Human.
SPEAKER 14 :
And now all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 13 :
So the U.S. has unveiled a new female crash test dummy. They say it could be used for federal safety testing. They introduced it as a way to step up safety for women who face a higher… This is not funny. They face a higher injury risk in car crashes than men. They’ve used a dummy model for decades with the U.S. government, but it’s all about U.S. male proportions. The new dummy, known as Thor O5F, is more human-like, contains female-specific proportions. So the new model could potentially replace the Hybrid 3 dummy, which has previously been used for crash testing. They said that 73% of women are more likely to be injured in a head-on crash and 17% more likely to be killed in a car crash than compared to men. So interesting. I get it that there’s different proportions. I get it. I just feel like the name shouldn’t be Thor 051 whatever. Severe internet outages. continue happening, they actually may increase. They might get worse. Growing reliance on a number of major internet infrastructure companies has led to major disruptions. And there’s, I mean, it’s just creating chaos. It’s enough to disrupt everyday services. pretty wide ranging as well. Like they had a Cloudflare, like Cloudflare crashed last week and there were tons of hours long disruptions at other different companies. So they’re trying to say that look, It’s a real issue. Amazon Web Services, you guys remember that? That was back in October. That was a really serious one. And some people couldn’t even get their ring cameras to work or their smart beds. I don’t know why you need a smart bed, but okay. So that was because everybody uses Amazon Web Services. And then, of course, Microsoft’s cloud computing platform went down the day after. So… or a couple of days after. So there are serious issues. They’ve got to fix them. NyQuil is apparently, I don’t know, somebody had a DUI because they drank seven bottles of NyQuil. I don’t know how you’re living and you drink seven bottles of NyQuil. A very impaired driver, apparently, and this was all caught on body cam footage, grabbed a Thurston County Sheriff deputy’s gun during a fight at the scene of a car crash last month. The deputy came across the crash as she was driving home. This is video of it. And KOMO News got the video. They said that the deputy alerted people to alerted dispatchers of the crash. They radioed that the driver, one of the drivers, was not complying. And this guy apparently, as it came out, he said he drank seven bottles of NyQuil that day to help him fall asleep. And I don’t know, man. And then he went up and attacked this cop. A female cop. And you’re watching some of that just insanity, insanity. And she used all of the training principles that she had. But he tried going for her gun and thankfully backup arrived right when he was attacking her and trying to get her gun out of her holster. Man, this guy’s going to go away for some time. Dangerous, dangerous dude. Also, the U.S. is warning airlines of potential hazards when flying over Venezuela. I wouldn’t want to fly over Venezuela, but they’re saying there could be some issues.

SPEAKER 05 :
Period. And they said that the white hatred, black hatred, Jew hatred, Malaysian hatred, Bedouin hatred, it’s all wrong. I believe that as much as I believe anything. Okay. But the rest of it, his analysis, which is actually smart.
SPEAKER 13 :
What? What analysis is smart? I don’t understand that. This is part of the back and forth that we’ve seen on the right over this. I have not seen smart analysis from somebody like Fuentes. And I don’t even think that that’s a smart analysis of Fuentes’ hot takes. I mean, to call yourself an American first Christian conservative while you talk about how much you hate Christians And you idolize people who murdered them, like Stalin. And you’re entirely focused on race and making idols of all of these things. That’s not smart analysis. It’s not smart policy. I mean, there’s just—I’m not going to play all the audio. We have a tranche of it. There’s a ton of audio out there of just him saying crazy stuff to get attention. And this was the big criticism I think a lot of people had of Tucker in that— Nobody, stop trying to move the goalposts to save your ass, first off. No one’s sitting here talking about whether or not someone should be platformed. The fact that it was a softball interview, and it was, and I had even messaged him about this, and obviously he disagreed with me on it, but that’s fine. People can disagree. But it wasn’t an issue of you platform someone. It was an issue of how do you not push back on these ideals? And then just to come back, well, the Jew hatred is wrong. That’s part of it. Yeah. But I mean, even then in the interview, it just seemed like more that you that there was it was just a hand smacking of a friend as opposed to a full throated rejection of bad, already defeated ideas. This is the issue with this. Why does anyone feel like they have to entertain this twink, this Nazi twink? Do you know why? It’s because people are terrified at losing digital relevancy. That’s why they do it. That’s why you have these people that won’t one way or the other. They won’t. take a stand and make these and and let you know where they are at without question because they’re terrified at losing a slice of that digital pie they want that audience and they think that the best way to get that audience is to ingratiate themselves with those people and then they think that they’ll be able to bring them on no that’s not going to happen it’s never happened and half of these people are bots anyway it’s just weird it’s very weird i um I don’t know why we decided to be so duplicitous in discussing this thing and discussing this issue. And it seems like the stupidest time ever to get into racial politics and make idols of race on the right when we have created such a big tent coalition. You don’t need a Nazi twink army in order to win elections. In fact, you’ve never needed it. They don’t have an impact in the elections. But the idea that you have to debase yourself to ingratiate yourself to that audience in order to be relevant, that pretty much is the epitaph alone, is it not? Seems like it. This is what really struck me, though, because we, you know, we had on, I had on Kevin Roberts, I had interviewed him with Heritage, and he was very careful to defend his friend. And he did not want to condemn his friend. He was very careful. It was not returned. Audio soundbite 23. This actually shocked me. This is all very recent. This shocked me. Listen.
SPEAKER 05 :
There’s a man called Kevin Roberts who I knew and really liked. Took over the Heritage Foundation a couple of years ago. And I thought, and that’s the biggest foundation in Washington. And I thought that he could steer it into a positive direction. I think he certainly wanted to. He tried. Um, and in the end, 10 days ago, he got, he was completely destroyed by this, um, by this fighting within the, within the Republican party and the conservative movement and very, very sad. And, and, you know, I think the heritage foundation will, and I say this again with sadness because there are smart people there. They have a ton of money. They should be a force for good. But I don’t see how they ever will be. Not after that. No, not after that. Absolutely cannibalized him. Yep. And he allowed it. He was, he was weak. He decided he wanted his job more than to tell the truth. And that’s a, you know, that’s a moment that I think every man faces inevitably in life. And, and I understand the fears. I mean, I’ve certainly been there a lot and, um, you know, not wanting to lose your job. I get it. I’m not judging, but you have to choose the truth.
SPEAKER 13 :
Hmm. That’s really unfortunate. Tucker will not come on with me. He will not. And we’ve known each other for years. He’s made it very clear. Probably because we would have to have uncomfortable conversations like this. Loyalty is not a real thing in D.C. Everything is transactional. And I feel like Kevin Roberts was trying to be loyal to his friend and to the point where he really got himself in a situation in which he could not He couldn’t get out of it. I mean, it was really uncomfortable to watch. He was very careful in what he said about Carlson. He was very careful when he was on this program talking with me. And he did not want to criticize his friend. He didn’t get anywhere close to criticizing Carlson. Tucker Carlson the same way that Carlson was criticizing Roberts here, that he was weak. I knew and really liked him talking about him in the past tense. So Kevin Roberts committed seppuku for nothing. For nothing. All of that for what? Only to be thrown under the bus a couple of weeks later by the guy he was protecting. All because he wanted to have an interview where he didn’t ask hard questions. He didn’t, I guess he didn’t want to get flamed out on X. He didn’t want the bots to come after him on social media. It was a softball interview. Just be honest about it. It was a softball interview with softball questions and there was barely any pushback. There was at one point in our exchange, it was like, well, you know, you didn’t see the part about, you know, where I pushed back on blood libel. That was a pushback. Wow. Goodness. I’d hate to see what accommodation looks like if that was a pushback. I mean, good heavens. But to not challenge him like you love Stalin. Why do you like Stalin? What about Stalin impresses you so much? What about Hitler impresses you so much? What about his policies that you love impress you so much? There was nothing of that. It was just it was like a struggle session about the people that they didn’t like on the right. It was weird. But this is also what happens when you don’t stay consistent, when you’re inconsistent on your views. Sometimes it can be very uncomfortable to be consistent. Consistency is a very, very difficult thing. Consistency and trends don’t go well together. And it’s unfortunate that the Heritage Foundation now has this black eye and that Roberts has gone through all of this for what? To be thrown under the bus. Good night with friends like that. Who needs the left to throw you under the bus? I mean, good heavens. It is shocking to see, but not surprising, though, at the same time. I mean, I look at other instances. You know, this isn’t the first time something like this has happened. I mean, there have been other instances before. I mean, Tucker’s, he, when he was at Fox, there was the story, and this was with the Dominion stuff and all of that, where he apparently was very, very critical of POTUS, really critical of POTUS, and was messaging people behind the scenes, highly critical, and then does a 180 publicly. So the stuff that’s being said privately is very different from the public stances. It was very critical of him behind the scenes, but then was going on his program and celebrating every, you know, really playing up all of these policies, but essentially likening him to a Nazi and calling him a fascist and all of this other stuff privately. I mean, the language was very, you know, I mean, you can read it for yourself. It’s all over X. It’s all over social media. It’s public. It’s been out there. It’s just the duplicity of it all. It’s being one thing privately and another thing publicly. I don’t like that inconsistency either. And there’s a lot of people in Washington, D.C. that are like that. I mean, at least you got to give it to Candace Owens. She keeps all the crazy public. I mean, she’s not changed since she was an Al Sharpton protege. She’s not changed since she created a doxing website and was going after conservatives around 2016. She’s still the same progressive. She’s still that same person. And now I think what she says that… that some governments took a hit out on her now because I can’t even follow all of it. It’s too crazy for me to even follow. At least she keeps the crazy out there, right? At least she’s the same crazy person publicly that she is privately. You can at least count on that. So, I just don’t like these little snakes in the grass that are one thing privately and one thing publicly, and there is no honor, and there is no real loyalty. It’s all about advantage. It’s all about what best aids clicks. And I’m gonna tell you something, a lot of these people that have not played in the digital space before until recently, You know, everybody’s very nervous because cable news is collapsing. More and more people are turning away from cable news. Being a contributor somewhere doesn’t have the same punch that it used to. It doesn’t have the same prestige as it used to. You don’t even really need to do any of that because the check isn’t worthwhile. You don’t really need to do any of it. A lot of people, they’re building their audiences digitally. But the problem is the ones who are so terrified at losing any of their audience that they try to accommodate everybody. It’s like a pastor trying to fill pews and they water down the sermons and they water down scriptures so they can accommodate everybody. Well, at some point, then it becomes lukewarm and nobody wants to go because there’s no value in it. And a lot of these influencers need to be very careful of this, especially on stuff like this, right? There’s no way that you’re going to be able to ingratiate yourself with an audience that follows a Nazi twink. There’s no way you’re going to be able to ingratiate yourself with that. There’s nothing to glean. There’s no smart policy analysis. It’s all miles wide, inches deep rhetoric that’s designed to sound intelligent, but is really vapid and anemic. And I don’t, but there are people who want to, they don’t want to lose that access. They don’t want to get flamed on social media. And so they try to accommodate all of it. I’ve seen it over and over again. And sure, there’s a short-term payoff. Absolutely. There’s a short-term payoff. But, you know, realistically, what does that do to you over time? It just hurts your credibility. I see people now that are friends of mine, people that I’ve met, that I’ve hung out with, that I’ve dined with privately, whose families I know. And I’m just watching all these people play this game. And I’m so glad that I just don’t do it. But I’m watching these people play this game thinking this is not sustainable long term. Because you keep landing on these minds. This is not sustainable long term. And the stuff with TPUSA, and I don’t even want to entertain the Candace Owens stuff because it kills brain cells without the benefit of having alcohol to go along with it. It is some of the most mind-numbingly idiotic stuff I’ve ever read in my life. There is no great commission to go and take out somebody who was an Al Sharpton protege and grifted their way into the space that they’re in now. There is no grand design to do that, people. Good heavens. There’s there’s we’re all talking about this stuff. We’re all everybody’s obsessing that it’s one of the things that we’ve absolutely have been able to prove now that the country of location is turned on with all of these X accounts is that so many of these are foreign actors that are all designed to drive division on the right, especially with all this Israel stuff. So many of them. And everybody is being distracted by the PSYOP to not only divide the right, but weaken alliances in the Middle East while also accommodating the spread of Islamism in the United States. Notice how none of these accounts or none of these people are critical of Islam. In fact, I’ve seen it to the contrary. I have watched people at the Daily Wire remark about how, oh, well, you know, the hijab is actually a very modest piece of clothing. I’m not kidding you. This is the stuff that I’m seeing. You have people that are literally actually putting themselves adjacent to Islamism in order to prove that they’re so anti-Israel. It is wild to see. We’ve got there’s a lot more to talk about this, but to discuss about it. But it is it’s crazy. I feel like we’re the only sober people at the party and everybody else is high as a kite. That’s what it feels like watching this. It feels like you’re the babysitter at the party and everybody else is literally like a drink away from passing out, blacking out entirely. It is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen happen on the right in my entire career. It’s wild. We’ve got a lot more to touch on as we roll our partners that help bring you the program.

SPEAKER 14 :
It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.
SPEAKER 13 :
All right. So this was in Hillsborough County, Florida. A Florida man was arrested. He stole a truck in Plant City. Then he attempted to conceal the truck’s identity by altering its appearance. Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office says that they found the suspect operating a stolen Ford F-150 in Plant City. And he tried to remove, he swapped the tags, removed the toolbox and ladder rack from the truck. And I guess like try to get some of the decals off it. And they have him on aerial video doing it, which is so funny. And then he’s on video, right? So they’re in the air and they’re watching him. He takes a backpack that has meth in it, tons of meth stuffed in it, and he throws it into the nearby bushes thinking no one can see him. But they’re looking at everything from the air. They’re watching him literally from the air do it. And then they show deputies surrounding him, guns drawn, and they are able to take him into custody. I can’t even list you all the charges, but there’s lots. I mean, burglary, grand theft, you know, and methamphetamine trafficking, drug trafficking, all of that stuff. He got hit with a number of things. I know. I know. It’s like he was, you know, they see you doing that. Just look up. My gosh. Let’s see here. Oh, no, I’m not going to do that. So this, well, we’re running out of time.

SPEAKER 06 :
What illegal orders are you urging troops to refuse and what do you hope they take away from your message?
SPEAKER 02 :
Alex, we love this country. We love our Constitution. It is our job as lawmakers, and especially in this moment, to be clear morally, to be clear legally, and simply and clearly stating what the law says. What the Uniform Code of Military Justice says, it’s not a crime. It is not treason. It is not sedition. It is our job. And I think it’s really important that we do our jobs in this moment.
SPEAKER 13 :
What a weird interview. That’s such a weird… She didn’t actually state she didn’t answer the question. First off, she didn’t answer it at all. That’s slacking. And she’s being asked, OK, well, I’m sorry, that’s Goodlander. That was Maggie Goodlander. She couldn’t answer what illegal orders Democrats want the military to ignore when they did that weird video. And they were all up there saying it was Mark Kelly. It was her. It was a number of them. And it seemed like they were kind of alluding to ice or I mean, that’s what happens when you don’t have a clear, cohesive message. It’s just open for interpretation. But they never actually were specific on that. what it was they wanted the military to ignore that they didn’t make any sense. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you at the top of this third hour. And, uh, It didn’t, I mean, they can’t admit anything. Okay, so this is cut 10. This is Martha Raddatz asking Elise Slotkin, okay, well, what are the illegal orders that Trump has issued that you’re so vociferously opposed to? I mean, just some specificity would be great. This is cut 10. Listen.
SPEAKER 04 :
So let’s talk right now. Do you believe President Trump has issued any illegal orders?
SPEAKER 24 :
To my knowledge, I am not aware of things that are illegal, but. OK, so.
SPEAKER 13 :
All right. You guys are all the same spot on the page that I am. So why? Why did you make this video? If you can’t think of any illegal orders that he’s issued, you can’t. You don’t actually know why you made this video. You can’t specify what illegal orders he’s issued. Well, then why did you feel the need to make the video? Why did you make the video? That would have been my follow up. I mean, Slotkin’s like, well, to my knowledge, there aren’t any. OK, so these are just these are just policies that you don’t like, but they’re not illegal. They’re they don’t. have legality based on whether or not slotkin or democrats like them you either recognize the constitutional authority of the president in his office or you don’t and if you refuse to recognize his constitutional authority in his office then would be treasonous in that regard. Who’s the offending party then? Who would be the one least, most likely rather, to exercise an illegal order? Who would that be? That’s the million-dollar question. They can’t actually say. Slotkin, this is cut nine. This is really bad. So when they have no defense… Where do they all go? Where do all these people go? They go back to Hitler. Listen, I’m not kidding. This is cut nine.
SPEAKER 04 :
It is very clear that no one should follow an illegal order, but it’s very murky when you look at what is an illegal order. And if you go into morally, ethically, that’s a pretty tough thing to look at and say, how do I navigate this?
SPEAKER 24 :
I don’t I mean, if you go back to Nuremberg, right, that, well, they told me to do it. That’s why I murdered people is not an excuse. If you look at popular culture, there’s like you watch, you know, a few good men like we have plenty of examples since World War Two in Vietnam where people were told to follow illegal orders and they did it and they were prosecuted for it. So the best thing for people to do is go to the jack.
SPEAKER 13 :
I’m like, I’m so confused here. So she says Nuremberg. Talking about Nazis. Well, they did it. Wait, wait, wait. Are you? Is she comparing our military to Nazis? And that’s on by. By saying, well, you know, it’s happened before. Look at Nuremberg. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What do you mean? We’re talking about illegal orders and the following of illegal orders. She just she stated that she can’t specify or identify illegal an illegal order given. Okay. She can’t specify that. She can’t figure that out. She can’t really explain why they oppose his policy other than they’re intimating that it’s illegal. And then she goes back and tries to compare Nazis with Wow. That you’ve lost. You’ve completely lost. It would be one thing if they said, well, you know, we… We don’t know why. Maybe POTUS, and I don’t agree with this, but I’m just saying this would be a smart way of them approaching it. We think that POTUS should maybe take more pains to work with some of these blue state governors or these blue city mayors in terms of protecting federal buildings, etc., which, by the way, he did do. But again, I’m not saying I agree with this. That would have been a better way for them to approach this disagreement. then going right to Nuremberg. It’s just wild, the disconnect here. And Brennan, and it was very interesting to see, and no one’s observed this. So we’ve played from CBS to CNN a number of Democrats that your ears are not deceiving you. They were actually asked questions. The first time that I remember some difficult questions about this video that they did. This is Margaret Brennan. This is Cut 11 talking to Jason Crow. When they are he’s being asked specifically about the allegations here, you know, that from your colleagues, from other veterans, that this asserting this or intimating in some way that military members are committing something unconstitutional by following POTUS, that that is corrosive. And he was asked to respond to that. Listen.
SPEAKER 23 :
How do you respond to these allegations from your colleagues, fellow veterans, that what you have put out there is weakening and corrosive to the military?
SPEAKER 01 :
Well, these, unfortunately, are some of Trump’s core supporters that are rallying behind the president, and they know better. They know exactly the difference between lawful versus unlawful. We were very clear in the video that what we’re talking about is unlawful orders. You have the president’s spokesperson going on into a press conference this past week and saying that we called for people to disobey lawful orders. They’re simply lying because the truth is unacceptable to them. It’s unacceptable. We wanted to start a conversation, and we did, about the dangerous rhetoric this president is using and the threats that he’s made.
SPEAKER 13 :
move into a completely different area. What specifically, what were the orders that were unacceptable? No one has given, I mean, if you’re going to make an edited video where you and a bunch of lawmakers are demanding that military members disregard the orders of the executive, then please, by God, be specific. And They still are having problems with this. I mean, you saw some of these lawmakers, they couldn’t give you a specific answer. Or they’ll invoke Nuremberg. which I don’t know is incredible. It just insanely wild. It doesn’t make any sense. This is Amy Klobuchar. So she’s trying to somehow figure out how to how to answer that question. And this is just as bad. This is cut 12.
SPEAKER 28 :
Listen, I wonder, do you know what the specific illegal acts are that your Democratic colleagues were referring to there?
SPEAKER 18 :
Well, it’s very clear in this code for the military that you cannot follow unlawful orders. And, you know, that would be I’ll just use an example. Some of the judges have now found in certain cities that it is not legal to send in the National Guard. And those National Guard members have come home. Some of them are still there. But if their commander were to tell them, hey, go out on the streets and do this and that, that’s not following the order.
SPEAKER 13 :
not even that is okay let’s just let’s break this down for a moment so first off when you’re talking about federal buildings courthouses like you guys remember what happened I mean you guys know I you don’t have to go over that far back and searching your mind in Portland and in Seattle when you had Antifa attacking federal courthouses busting the windows out of federal courthouses attacking federal agents so now looking at recently ICE agents with these facilities and these facilities are considered federal facilities where they’re processing these individuals who are in the country illegally and continuing to commit violent criminal felonies. You have ICE agents that are detaining them. Attacking those agents, that’s attacking a federal employee. Attacking those premises is attacking a federal installation, a federal building, whether it’s a courthouse or it’s a processing center. The executive, not only is it within his constitutional authority, but it’s part of his obligation as the executive has the authority to to protect those federal employees and those federal buildings or installations. That is what the guard was called to do. So that is completely legal. It is completely supported by federal statute. And when she gives the exam, she didn’t even give an example. She just said, well, if a National Guard commander were to tell troops, go out in the streets and do this and that. Wait a minute. Hold up. What do you mean? go to what streets? What do you mean this and that? Tell them to do this and that. Related to the job of protecting these federal installations or federal buildings or federal employees you can’t just say things like that this is straw man you’re you’re you’re feathering yourself up a little straw man to argue against because you don’t have a concrete example you don’t have to go and pull something out of your backside that’s that’s this idiotic if there is an illegal order cite it because i tell you something constitutionalists, we don’t want to see illegal orders given. So give us some concrete specificity. What specifically was illegal that was given? Give us something specific. Don’t sit here and be like, well, in Nuremberg, I don’t want to hear that. That’s idiotic. Don’t go, well, the commander could tell them to go out on the streets and do this and that. Do this and what? You’re just making stuff up so you can bitch. That’s all it is. There is no specificity, but you do have a number of lawmakers who have made a video telling members of our military to disregard their lawful obligation and their constitutional duty over what, well, you apparently don’t have enough concern to specify. We got more on this because now, as you know, they’re calling Mark Kelly back to active duty because it looks like he could get court-martialed for his part. We got more on the way. I know we got to get moving. As we move, we got headlines coming up. Our partners that help bring you the program. It is the folks over at Super Beats. You guys are familiar with Super Beats, Human, the… Human was founded, the company out of the UT Health Science Center, built on real cardiovascular research around blood flow and nitric oxide. Unlike other supplement brands, Human is science born and not just science-ish. The products work and you can feel them working. UT athletes have used Super Beats for over a decade. They call it their cheat code for recovery and endurance. And you can use it for the same reason, to support healthy blood pressure and circulation. Today, more than 160 college and pro teams use human products. So your favorite team probably does too. And if you’ve seen the human logo on the Longhorns field this football season, that’s more than a sponsorship. It’s a signal from human and UT leading the future of cardiovascular health for athletes and everyone. You can pick up Super Beats at your local Walmart and start supporting your cardiovascular health today. Get on the road to better health with human.
SPEAKER 14 :
And now all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, this is a crazy story. If you followed this Slenderman stabber. So this chick who stabbed a friend to death and was in prison and then became a dude, although she’s a girl. She apparently cut off her Department of Corrections monitoring bracelet and fled the group home that she was staying in Saturday night. Her whereabouts are unknown. So they got a bolo out for her. She was the one who was convicted in the 2014 Slenderman stabbing. And now there’s a nationwide manhunt for Morgan Geyser. She cut her hair real short. She’s trying to be a dude. But she was trying to say, oh, she wasn’t responsible because she’s mentally ill. But yeah, that didn’t work. She tried to kill this girl because of a Slenderman thing. Just they were 12. They lured this girl into a wooded park and they stabbed her 19 times. Somehow she survived, thankfully. But this kid was this girl was sentenced to 40 years and in a psychiatric hospital. She could ask the court for release every six months, but now she fled. So they have no idea where she is now. Crazy psycho killer out there. But, you know. Good heavens. A 95-year-old bus driver made the Guinness World Records for being the oldest operator still behind the wheel. Hey, if he can do it, he can do it. I mean, if he’s good and he drives well, he’s taken many routes for his three decades driving in Wichita Falls. And he’s apparently he has a positive attitude and he is like, you know, you’re always very safe. He’s the number one priority. But he’s been doing this for 27 years and now is the oldest active bus driver, according to the Guinness World Records. Figure AI is sued by a whistleblower who says that the startup’s robots could fracture the human skull. It’s a former engineer for Figure AI. They filed a lawsuit against the company saying they were unlawfully terminated after warning executives about product safety. The suit filed on Friday says that the guy was fired after he lodged a documented, direct and documented safety complaint. Figure AI is a NVIDIA-backed developer of humanoid robots. And so he’s the principal robotic safety engineer. And he says that they’re dangerous, they’re super strong. And he was warning they can absolutely crush a skull. So that seems like that should be very concerning. That should, you know, good night. A woman jumped into a tourist hotspot’s E. coli-riddled river to find her phone. Oh, my gosh. Or just how about you just not. This is so gross. I don’t know why people do this. This was in the San Antonio Riverwalk. She jumped into it trying to get her phone out. So it’s not the cleanest river. It’s not known for being clean. Stick with us. We’ve got a lot more coming up.
SPEAKER 10 :
Brighten up your timely news consumption with a Dana Show podcast where every update comes with a little dash of not so serious on YouTube, Apple or wherever you get your podcasts.
SPEAKER 13 :
Welcome back to the program. You can find us over at Substack as well. I have a piece coming out just about some of the GOP stuff there. and that you’ll be able to check out. And of course, you know, you get our prep, et cetera, YouTube, Facebook, as well as the podcast, which is our, if you missed the show, you can find it on Apple Podcasts. You can subscribe to that as well. So this is a weird story. This happened in Florida. It was Tuesday of last week, but it didn’t start getting wider attention until like towards the end of the week, Friday over the weekend, And it has to do with what happened at a University of South Florida parking garage. So there were three men who, according to the Tampa Bay Times, they’re facing a felony count of disturbing schools and religious assemblies under Florida’s hate crime enhancement statute, along with misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and disrupting a school or lawful assembly. Now, what ended up happening is is there were footage, video footage, and we’re going to show it, that show these guys approaching students during their prayer, these Muslim students, on the roof of the Collins Boulevard parking garage. And one man carried a cardboard box that said, Jesus is Lord. The other one wore a robe that said, Jesus is God. They stood inches away from where these other men were praying. I think they’re all students. And they were saying things like bow down to Jesus Christ. They said that your prophet married a six-year-old. And then they said that they had bacon and bacon was delicious. And at one point a man said, you don’t have a bomb on you, do you? And the video was uploaded to YouTube. And the students who were praying said that the students that approached them, that they were in fear of their safety. Now, we have the video, but we can’t, Steve, is there the original video? What is it? Will we be hit with a copyright notice so we can’t play it?
SPEAKER 15 :
This is a lot of offensive content that I don’t know if we can run on the show. Ooh, like what do you mean?
SPEAKER 13 :
Like, I mean. Probably just language.
SPEAKER 19 :
Hmm.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, I mean, we can show it without audio. Show it without the audio. We’ll just talk over it. We’ll do that. But they said that the students said that the group created, I’m reading their quote, a mockery of our culture, our religion, of our traditions. And so the police chief for the University of Southern Florida said that they acted quickly. They said they took the incident seriously. and they issued trespass warnings to the three men. Now, are the three men, one of the things that wasn’t made clear was whether or not the three men were students or if they were all students, because apparently the, I mean, if you’re giving trespass warnings, banning them from campus, then that might indicate that they are not students. So detectives, they filed the cases with the Hillsborough County State Attorney’s Office. And I’m trying to figure out what it is that they’re doing. They said that no one should be assaulted. No one was assaulted. No one was physically assaulted. But they used that word while exercising their constitutionally protected rights. The Muslim Student Association was involved, etc., And the university made statements where they don’t tolerate harassment or discrimination or whatever. And so this is the big… This was all over and it just started growing in… You’re watching some of the video. They’re on the rooftop praying to Mecca. And then they had these other guys. Nobody knows really who these other guys are that showed up and were taunting them. So they’re getting… Basically a felony hate crime because they were mocking the prayer. Can I just say that this is not at all like what we saw when you had Islamists that were going after Jewish students because the Islamists that were going after Jewish students were physically assaulting them. We played the video. They were vandalizing property, physically assaulting students, and then detaining them, kidnapping essentially, by refusing to allow them to leave buildings by blocking the doors, et cetera. So these dudes, just so in case anybody wants to make comparisons, these guys, they were on a rooftop and some other guys showed up and that’s essentially it. So they ran their mouths. I don’t know why this is a felony. That’s what I don’t get. Can we play some of the press conference? Because we have some of that. That is, I’m sorry, I didn’t look and see what cut that was. But I don’t know why that’s a felony charge. Because now these guys are charged with felonies. Now they’re all prohibited possessors. This is insane. This is cut 34. Listen to this. This is one of the Muslim groups that spoke out about this after.
SPEAKER 25 :
After the prayer ended, we look up to see them taunting us in our faces with bacon.
SPEAKER 13 :
Is he really pretending to cry? Are you serious? Are you serious right now?
SPEAKER 25 :
I had to relive the whole thing again.
SPEAKER 13 :
Oh, my God. Can we say that forever? I cannot take that seriously. I’m sorry, but I can’t. He’s crying because they had bacon. He just broke down in tears because he said they had bacon. I don’t know who that student is. That seems insane to have that kind of reaction. No, it seems insane because it is insane to have that type of reaction. Wow. And if these were Christians praying and they had been antagonized, there wouldn’t be any headlines. So a couple of things here. First off, Is it rude to taunt people when they’re praying? Yes. It’s rude to taunt people when they’re praying. It’s not the nice thing to do, right? I don’t think that Jesus would have done it that way. Is this a felony? I am struggling to see how this is a felony. That is what… I mean, any argument that anybody would have had about the rudeness or whether or not it was the best way to handle that situation went out the window the moment that people started making this felony charges. That is insane. There was no physical contact. Words by themselves aren’t violence. I don’t believe in what they call hate crimes. I think that is a stupid infantilization of American jurisprudence. Hate crimes? All crime stems from hate. No, there’s no crime that is crimier than another because of these variables of the parties involved. That’s insane. It’s a crime, it’s a crime, it’s a crime, or it’s not. So, disturbing a religious assembly. So that’s under Florida’s hate crime enhancement statute. These are just people that are on a parking garage roof praying. I don’t think that this is some kind of like official school assembly, number one. Number two, I don’t see how this is a felony. I don’t. That seems a major stretch. It looks like they’re getting felony charges for First Amendment issues. And the guy who’s performatively crying, shut up, because we’ve seen what happens when Christians try to play in Muslim countries. They get their heads cut off. Don’t come over here and act all weak and innocent and meek when you’re raping women to death and cutting their heads off in Islamist-dominated countries. And that’s usually how it is. Over here, when you have Islamists that come to the United States, they’re victims. And then when they take control, it’s insane. I mean, look at what’s happening in parts of Britain. So there was no apparently physical, there was no assaulting, there was no battery from everything that we understand. It was just they didn’t like the fact that they were being taunted and they had bacon. And that one guy cried over the bacon. So again, I go back to, was it the way Jesus would have done it? No. But that argument goes out of the window when you’re talking about felony charges for speech. There was no fighting words. There were no threats issued. So I don’t. So because somebody had bacon and somebody was offended that there was bacon present, that that constitutes a felony charge. Are you kidding me? I’m really trying hard to understand how in the world that’s justified. And I mean, there’s not any other video that’s out there that shows something that justifies that. I don’t know. So apparently, look, here’s the thing. If you can exercise your First Amendment right and pray in public, and other people can exercise their First Amendment right and say something to the contrary publicly, that is okay. Both of these things are okay. And it doesn’t make it less legal because someone is mean about it. That’s not the issue of discussion here. It’s not less legal because to speak publicly if it hurts someone’s feelings or if someone finds it offensive. It’s just not. That is the First Amendment. You either like it all and you accept it all or you do not. Now, like I said, if you’re throwing something at someone, that could be constituted as battery. And there are legal protections. There’s a legal process already for assault and battery. But there was nothing physical that I saw here. I also don’t understand how it is that you have all these Islamists that can attack students at colleges and set fires and assault physically assault students who might be Jewish or Christian and they can run roughshod over them. And there’s no concern about First Amendment protections for the people who are literally physically being assaulted simply for trying to go to church or synagogue. And here it is completely the other way. I find that incredibly troubling. Also, a parking garage rooftop is not a protected place of worship. That doesn’t make any sense. What would have happened if they would have sung Christian hymns? Because that would be as offensive as bacon, right? I don’t buy the meek and… That guy was out. That was crocodile tears. I don’t buy that at all. But… I don’t see how this is a felony charge. I don’t see how this is in any way a felony. And I don’t see why there’s so much attention being paid to these situationally offended Islamists that are on the rooftop of a parking garage who are acting like they are so aggrieved. Yet you have story after story, campus after campus, where Islamists were targeting people they didn’t like because of their faith and they were getting physical with them. There was property damage. There was physical damage. But I didn’t hear anything about free speech then. So why does it seem to be tilted in favor of Islamists? This is a problem that people in the United States are going to have to grapple with, particularly if you look at what happened and look at what’s happened in Britain. In Britain, you can be arrested for even standing on a street corner and citing scripture. It might offend an Islamist. You don’t want that to be like this in the United States. Now, as I said… the argument of whether or not it was the nice way to contest their prayer went out the window the second they started talking about felony charges. The second. So I’m curious to see how this is handled. Because I feel like the charges are insane. It feels like an attempt to give preference to one religion over the other in the eyes of the court, which is itself unconstitutional. We have more on the way. So you guys remember the Slap Chop and the ShamWow commercials, right? You all remember the ShamWow commercials and then the Slap Chop ones. And then the guy who was the personality selling it, his name was Vince, Vince Shlomi. So he was the ShamWow guy, although I’m preferential to the Slap Chop because it was funny. And he is running for a house seat in Texas now. And according to the filing information, it is with the Texas GOP. Just saying. He is running for Texas’s 31st Congressional District, currently represented by John Carter. And it’s listed, his name is listed in the Texas GOP’s filing database as Offer Vince Shamwow Shlomi. Okay. Okay. And he said he was compelled to make a congressional bid to destroy wokeism in honor of Charlie Kirk. And there’s a bunch of Republicans looking to primary this Carter guy. He beat his challenger plus 50 for that House seat. It’s just north of Austin is where the district is. So I don’t know. I think it’s interesting. There are a lot of people running in that race that are trying to unseat this guy. So he was charged. This is why we made such fun of the Slap Chop stuff. He was charged with a felony aggravated battery following a physical altercation with a woman in 2009. But then the charges were dropped and nothing was filed and it went away. So I don’t know. Very interesting. I think I just robbed you, Steve. Did I just rob you of today?
