SPEAKER 18 :
Welcome to the radio program. You can sub-stack. There’s a lot of good stuff up there. Go and subscribe to it. A lot of good things up there. And we’re going to get you set up for the weekend. Some of the stuff that we are going to get to include… I feel like every single day I find a new insane story as it relates to immigration. Right. Or it relates to the massive amount of fraud against the taxpayer. Or it has to do with Islamism. And it seems like it’s getting more and more shocking with all of this. You know, the January 6th, this pipe bomber, too. It’s crazy how, you know, they’ll go and they’ll find all of this information about people who were merely in the Capitol. But… They can’t, I mean, I just, it’s just insane to me with all the cameras that they had there. Why was it so difficult for them to track this stuff down? And they didn’t talk about it. No one in the press even talked about it either. So that’s, I mean, we’re all made of a million questions. I mean, they were going after people who weren’t even in town. And these people are caught on camera doing this. I don’t know. It’s maybe they should have. Maybe they should have not been going after people of faith or school board parents or I don’t know, any any one of the number of things that they were doing instead of going and finding this. I mean, the administration that the Biden administration, the investigation that they carried out, it just seemed real. Lame, right? It seemed lame. It seemed lame and it seemed like they were really interested in finding them. I don’t know. So they unmasked the guy. The photos were posted on New York Post last night. This Brian Cole Jr. guy busted for planting these devices outside of both of the DNC and the RNC committees. What were you told about who the suspect was? Like originally, what did the left say about the suspect or who they thought it was? Didn’t they sort of intimate that it was, you know, it was somebody who was on the right? It’s probably some, you know, middle aged Trump voting white guy, right? Isn’t that what was always suggested? Except it wasn’t the case. I mean, I know that stuff like that’s important to the press and to the left until it’s not. But this individual definitely was not a middle-aged white guy. Neither of those things. It definitely doesn’t seem like he was a Trump voter either. So all of this, what the media was suggesting this person was… Yeah, what did you say, Kim? We had a female. They were a female officer that they were suspecting. That’s kind of a big…
SPEAKER 09 :
difference i mean i’m looking at the cctv footage and it doesn’t look like a female even then it didn’t look like a female not at all well i mean when you saw the female they were saying it was i mean you’d understand they were going by the gate of the walk and all of that through the cctv cameras um and they pushed all of this a month ago um well they were well yeah
SPEAKER 18 :
But, I mean, it’s, you know, because the left finds it very important. It wasn’t a middle-aged white guy. It was a younger black dude. And he purchased all the stuff that he got to make his bomb. He got it at eight different Home Depots, Lowe’s, Walmart, Micro Center. They think he started building these bombs back in 2019. And they were eight-inch galvanized steel pipes. The ends were capped. And there was a $500,000 award that was offered by the FBI under the Biden administration. And then now this guy is, I feel like they were just all over the page with it. And it didn’t seem, it didn’t seem like they were really interested in finding this person. And then they stopped looking entirely. Didn’t they find, memory serves, they found the two by accident. Right. I think it was like somebody suggested and and they found kind of the these two pipe bombs by accident. So this guy’s being charged. I have they I think all of the discussion of a second one has that disappeared. Seems like it has. They’re just all over the place with this investigation. But oh, my gosh, if they were if people were anywhere near. Holy wow. They were anywhere near D.C. When any of this happened, they were game. They were subjected to it. Investigations, all kinds of stuff. I mean, I know people who weren’t even there. And they were brought in for questioning or they were detained. President in D.C., they’re at the Kennedy Center. They’re doing the, what is it, the World Cup draw at the Kennedy Center, the FIFA World Cup draw. Apparently, we set a ticket sales record. I didn’t know that. Soccer isn’t as big, or football, I guess you could say, isn’t as big in the United States as it is in Europe, but I feel like it’s becoming bigger. And didn’t it seem when I was younger, it kind of seemed like… The U.S. was, not to be mean, but I don’t know. I just don’t think that we were viewed as seriously in soccer as European teams were.
SPEAKER 09 :
No, I remember growing up, though, in St. Louis, we had the indoor soccer team, the Steamers, if you remember those guys.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, I remember those.
SPEAKER 09 :
I just didn’t know what they did. And it did expand out beyond that. St. Louis is a big soccer town. But I guess it depends on where you are in the country.
SPEAKER 18 :
So I know that Steve and Juan are watching this draw. Because it’s like, what, live any second now, right? I mean, it’s all just kicking off right now. Everybody’s at the Kennedy Center for this. Everybody’s at the Kennedy Center. And so there’s a lot of also world leaders that are showing up. You have Mexico’s president, Canada’s. You know that there’s going to be a lot of discussions on trade as it happens. So they have the draw that’s taking place. Huge event. Would you compare this to like the draft with NFL? In terms of not like similarities, but in terms of the attention that it gets, because this is honestly the first time I’ve ever really paid attention to it. Yeah. In terms of the headlines that it nets. But if anything, if anything kicks off, we’ll get into it. But he’s there with a number of foreign leaders. Juan says it’s bigger. He’s there with another foreign leaders. Apparently they have UK. They got Scotland there. Everybody’s there. So there’s a lot of opportunities for trade discussion. And that’s something that the administration has also indicated. Very interesting. So we’re going to keep an eye on that. I know Stephen Wanner watching it and seeing what happens now as it relates to Minnesota. I swear to you every single day. It’s not like I go digging. They just drop from the sky. The latest in fraud. It seems like more and more. I think there’s another. I feel like there is someone was saying that there’s at least another couple of. organizations that partnered with the government, these NGOs. They had federal records indicating that Minnesota funneled over two and a half. Actually, one of the reports that I read, it was over three million in federal grants. So this is federal taxpayer money to this group called Communities Advancing Prosperity for Immigrants. And it was through there. It was through the HHS, Department of Health and Human Services, to the Minnesota Department of Health and Human Services or the Department of Human Services in St. Paul. And it was about dealing with refugee support services and basically they’re advancing prosperity for immigrants. That’s what it was described as. Refugee resettlement, millions and millions and millions and millions of dollars for this. That is a lot. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Like I told you, I think half of this stuff is fraud. I think half of what we spend our taxes on anymore. Honestly, I just don’t know how it can’t be. Because these programs keep popping up. And it’s not. And this sounds so stupid to say. I don’t mean like it’s a small tiny number. But it’s not like 5 million or 10 million here. We’re talking like 30, 40, 50 and up. Millions. Sometimes hundreds of millions. And it’s every state. And Minnesota looks like the hotbed for it. We’re going to talk about this more here coming up. We have headlines on the way. So as we head into the holidays, it’s not just about gifts. It’s about gratitude and protecting what really matters, family and the future. and your financial security. Colin Plume is the CEO at Noble Gold Investments.

SPEAKER 09 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 18 :
Shocker. Climate change, a study on climate change that would make you poorer has been retracted over major flaws because it’s a stupid, bogus study by a bunch of environmental cultists. And that’s all there is to it. I mean, it was at the Possum Institute for Climate Impact Research. And they were saying that, oh, my gosh, everybody’s going to be poor and eating cat food in the desert, basically. But they had to retract their study entirely because it turned out that 60% of everything that they said in this study was absolutely false. Who’s shocked? Not I, because the whole thing of climate change, that’s all it’s about. It’s about wealth redistribution, but between nations, not individuals. Chad GPT reportedly encouraged a violent stalker. via court documents. They say that a lawsuit that was filed by the DOJ alleges that ChatGPT encouraged a man accused of harassing over a dozen women in five different states to continue stalking his victims, serving as its best friend, and it would entertain his rants and told him to ignore any criticism that he got. 31-year-old Brett Dedig was indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of cyber-stalking, interstate stalking, interstate threats, per the DOJ, on Tuesday. He went after a number of women. Let’s see. Apparently, I’m going to go down that system. Doctors are using AI a lot more. I’ve heard this. I’ve heard this from a lot of doctors. They use it as a tool. It’s not something that takes… The place of their expertise or training, but it is a tool that can enhance what they do and help with the diagnosis. Diagnoses help with a number of other things. They said 30% of general practitioners in the UK are actually using AI tools. in patient consultations, which I think is incredibly important. But I think if it’s used as a tool to help treat patients, I don’t see why that would be a bad thing. They’re saying America’s diplomatic corps is in crisis at its breaking point. They were… To get into it, because they buried the lead of this god-awful story, like literally nine paragraphs in, it’s the American Foreign Service Association. They’re saying a lot of people, fewer people, are doing American Foreign Service. They’re doing like less volunteering in foreign countries, things like that. Also, you know, the big thing that goes towards reducing that is the percentage of global threats worldwide. I mean, nobody wants to go overseas and volunteer or do anything if they feel like their safety, if they feel like their government’s not even going to be able to bring them back. That’s that’s incredibly important. Also, the presidential ballroom architect. He was fired because he was the guy who said it was too big. He ultimately ended up being fired after he was arguing with POTUS and others about the size and scope of the White House ballroom. $300 million, which is being funded privately, including POTUS himself. James McCreary II and his architecture firm were replaced back in October per the Washington Post. They had battled over their desire to keep the size of the new building and whether or not it needed to be increased. And so interesting. We got a lot more on the way. Stick with us. Preborn. This organization meets women where they are and women who are facing unplanned pregnancies and Unlike, you know, so many, you hear about Planned Parenthood all the time and things like that. There’s a lot of, I mean, Planned Parenthoods are closing, but the abortion pill is taking their spot. So don’t think that that battle has been won. Now they just mail it instead of a brick and mortar Planned Parenthood, they’ll just mail it right to your post office, right to your mailbox. And so what pre-born does is they meet women where they are. they introduce them to their babies through a free ultrasound. Now, all of this is private donations. None of this is government funded. It’s all privately donated everything. And so this is, I mean, think about all the NGOs we’ve been talking about on the show the past like two weeks now, how much taxpayer dollars they get. Preborn doesn’t get any of that. And Preborn does so much more than those organizations ever could. Since 2007, They have saved over half a million babies, half a million. And they, I mean, think about, that’s a generation. That is an entire generation that they have saved. And so Preborn partners with women for the first two years of these babies’ lives with helping with counseling, diapers, maternity clothes, so much more, $28. That’s all it is. That’s a dinner out. That’s the best $28 you’ll ever spend in your life. And as year-end giving season approaches, there is no greater investment than the gift of life. Make a real lasting difference as we approach Christmas. For $28, save a life, and that life could change the world. And thanks to a special matching grant, your gift is doubled. Donate securely.

SPEAKER 18 :
Welcome to the radio program. Dana Lash with you. You can listen coast to coast across the nation. And we’ve been talking a lot about the whole issue with the economy and the issue of affordability. And remember, POTUS was talking about affordability here. And it was there was a lot of argument in the press about. Over this, I’m like looking at one of the quotes that he had, because we keep hearing about economic anxiety and it’s driving people to socialism. And the POTUS was talking about affordability and people were saying, oh, my gosh, you can’t sit here and shoot down affordability. And we have a debate on jobs numbers. What is the real story of all of this? What is the real story of all of this? Joining us right now, our friend Charles Payne, host of Making Money with Charles Payne, really the only money show that you need to be watching. It’s weekdays, 2 to 3 Eastern on Fox Business. He joins us via video. Charles, my good friend, it’s so nice to see you. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Thank you for being with us.
SPEAKER 11 :
Thank you, I did.
SPEAKER 18 :
Talk to me about this. It’s like the buzzword. It’s like this is the new buzzword right now is affordability. And when the president was talking about affordability, he was saying, well, I don’t want to hear that word. You know, this is dumb to talk about it in this manner. He started taking a lot of heat for that. How do you talk to the people who are criticizing him over this?
SPEAKER 03 :
Well, you know, there are two things here. First of all, nothing started this year. Right. I mean. A lot of this, to the president’s point, is sort of anti-Trump spin that really he caught, he inherited almost every single thing we’re talking about. And we’re not just talking about something that just happened slightly. This so-called affordability crisis began five years ago. uh during covet right after coven all of the money that was put into this economy uh some of it was just so willy-nilly the two trillion dollars uh from president biden that spiked listen we’d never we’d stop talking about inflation as an issue in this country for 40 years you had to go back to the early 80s when inflation was really a real serious problem and the only thing people ever measured was gasoline prices So you dump $2 trillion in STEMI checks, and you say to people, you don’t have to pay your college loans, you don’t have to pay rent, and then you start giving money to folks who don’t need it. Well-off people earn income credit, affordability programs, $100 billion ostensibly for the poor, but $80 billion went to people with college degrees. And so this so-called affordability crisis began five years ago. It is a juggernaut. And the thing about prices is, If you look at the CPI, the Consumer Price Index, I invite anyone, just Google it, CPI, and then put FRED. That’s the Federal Reserve’s charting system. It’s so easy to do. Go back any time frame you want. For the most part, it goes up. Prices go up. Any popular song from the 1930s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, all of them talk about prices being high. So prices have always gone up. The question is, how do we get wages to keep up with it? Now, when Biden was in office, there was no way wages could necessarily keep up with it. You know, and income, income, not wages, not what you earn from a job, but just what they dump into households mask that. But it also made it worse. So today, I want to give you an example. Today, we had what they call personal income and spending numbers are out today. And I want to tell you what people spent money on today. This is for September. utilities health care financial services and insurance these are things that really the government got involved in all of these things if you want to talk about what’s the problem we had too much money chasing too few goods and then yeah anything from insurance anything from student loans anywhere where the government got involved and pushed out the private sector prices went crazy okay so now this falls on trump’s lap how do you deal with it The media part of it, the media campaign part of it is going to be a struggle because you cannot necessarily fix it overnight. But what are we going to see next year? People will keep more of what they earn. Those income tax rebates are going to set a record. But this isn’t the government giving you money. This is people keeping more of what they earn with their hard work. You’re going to see one big beautiful bill kick in. You’re going to see companies building things because they get the right off the taxes, right? You get to take appreciation right up front. So we’re going to see a sort of win, a tailwind. And then, of course, I’m hoping starting next week that the Federal Reserve does their part and starts to lower rates because credit card bills went from 15 percent to like 24 percent. Some people are paying as much as 30 percent. It’s unsustainable. And so that’s where we are right now. It’s a political situation. It’s an economic situation. And it’s a messaging situation.
SPEAKER 18 :
And, of course, with a lot of the stuff in the bill that POTUS passed, we’re not going to see a lot of that stuff hit until after the first of the year when it’s fully implemented. And a lot of these trade deals still have, you know, we have this grace period before they’re kicked into gear. So I feel like the media is really counting on that and saying, look, you have in the headlines that these things are done, but without knowing that it actually kicks in January 1st. Are you feeling any different? No. So they failed. That’s the narrative. Right.
SPEAKER 03 :
But you know what? It’s going to backfire on them, to your point. They overplayed their hand. So today we also got another key number out. It’s called the Michigan Consumer Sentiment Report. Expectations for where we think we’ll be for the next six months exploded higher. People are already feeling better. People have an intuitive sense. It’s amazing how people understand what’s going on far more than anyone gives them credit for. uh also inflation expectations now with the michigan sentiment number it’s highly political so what i do is i take out what the democrats feel and what republicans feel and i focus on independence independent voters see inflation coming down dramatically next year why is that important because that’s what makes the federal reserve more comfortable with lowering rates so we’ve got all of this coming by the way last week the funniest one of the funniest stories dana was Bloomberg tried to dunk on Trump for all of these deals that are being announced around the world. Like I think Trump may have said $21 trillion, right? And so they went and they did the math and they said, he’s wrong. It’s only $7 trillion. $7 trillion is a lot of money.
SPEAKER 18 :
That’s a whole lot. I can’t even fathom that amount of money. $7 trillion.
SPEAKER 03 :
It’s never been done before. And so listen, I really think what they’ve done is, and again, they did this at the beginning of the year with tariffs, right? The tariff trend, the tantrum. They sent the market railing to have people afraid to the level that we’ve never seen before. Never. In all of these polls, how intimidated, how worried are you about the government’s policies? People were like, oh, it’s going to destroy us. These tariffs are going to rip us apart. So what’s going to happen, I think, though, is that they set themselves up. We start coming on. I think we’re going to start coming on next year. And what the headlines should read, X, Y, Z did far better than anyone thought. Although it’s not anyone. It’s what the media pundits and the naysayers wanted us to believe.
SPEAKER 18 :
Exactly. I agree with you on that. The only the only hesitancy that I’ve had with POTUS when it comes to some of these policies is when they announced these Trump accounts. And I and I trust your insight into this, because when I heard I love what the Dells did, and I think that that’s the way you do it. You know, you have you have private philanthropy. You have these people who I mean, I think it’s one of the if not the one of the biggest private donations made six and a half billion dollars, putting two hundred fifty dollars into the accounts of people. You know, I think 25, however many kids. And I know that there’s a set of restrictions for that. The Trump accounts, the way that I read it, and this was in part of the one big, beautiful bill, is that it’s drawing a thousand dollars from the U.S. Treasury to put into the account of these children that are born between January 1st, 2026 and going into 2028. My initial thought is we should pay down our debt. with anything like that. Instead of putting $1,000 in the bank, we should be paying down our debt. There’s a million things that we could do because it seems kind of Obama-esque to me, like Obama-lite redistributing the wealth. Is that how you see it or how do you see it?
SPEAKER 03 :
It’s complicated in the sense that, yeah, from a purist point of view, I get what you’re saying. From a political and maybe more practical point of view, This is something that, if it’s done right, could really, really help a lot of people. Here’s the thing. We could use it to pay down the debt. But would we ever do that? The real honest to goodness fact of life is that neither party has any true interest in paying down the debt in any meaningful manner.
SPEAKER 17 :
That’s so sad.
SPEAKER 03 :
And that’s why it keeps going. It keeps going. So on paper, if we were to do those responsible things that you just described, that would be a good alternative. But it really is not ever going to go to that. And so the fiscal clip that we’re going to go off, we’ll find it someday. I don’t know where it is, though. We’ve been talking about it for a decade. So we don’t know where it is. We know that Japan has gotten as high as over 200% of debt to GDP. And it was once considered that the number one economy was going to surpass America in the early 80s. And no one talks about Japan that way anymore. And there’s some other issues there, including the fertility crisis. But we do know one thing, that we will hit a wall. We won’t self-destruct, but we probably won’t be the preeminent country in the world anymore. And the only reason we still have that status now is that there’s no such thing as a responsible nation out there. If you think we’re bad, you should see what China’s done. China uses what they call economic bazookas. They had four last year, and you can’t even… The amount of money they’re spending and the debt that they’ve gone into, no one talks about these. All these folks are rooting for China because they hate Trump so much. So… From a realistic point of view, knowing that we truly aren’t going to pay down the debt, but maybe just maybe we can give young folks a leg up in life at a down the road. I think it’s a smart move.
SPEAKER 18 :
And what you said about China, just to touch on that real quick, that’s incredibly important because they only allow just enough capitalism. for them to say, oh, but we’re a capitalist society. We practice capitalism. And then they use that as an example of, well, capitalists failed and this is why the West is so bad. This is why the United States, they’re going to fail too because of capitalism. But that’s not what China’s doing. I mean, they have like this Rube Goldberg machine of, I don’t even know how, it’s just a mess. I can’t even hardly understand their economy, how it’s still existing and how the country’s functioning.
SPEAKER 03 :
I think that’s a great description, by the way. You know, just they just keep they keep creating phantom money. Right. They keep creating phantom money. We’re not there yet.
SPEAKER 18 :
And I said, we’re not there yet, thankfully, in the United States.
SPEAKER 03 :
No, no. I mean, listen, you know, one thing you could use to measure the attractiveness of a country is what they call FDI, foreign direct investment. There’s been zero foreign direct investment in China for a few years now. So, you know, and we still are the number one destination in the world for foreign direct investment. And that’s the money I was just talking about. Next year, the big money will come from Japan and South Korea. And again, we’re talking $7 trillion in foreign direct investment in America. And America, that is a major, major, major accomplishment. And that speaks to leadership.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, I really wish that they would get you in there. I’d love to see you and Scott Besson working together on this because I’m sure that you could come up with some ways to like incentivize earnings and get people involved and, you know, incentivize a baby boom. I mean, I just feel like you could, you know, I hope they come knocking on your office door.
SPEAKER 03 :
You know, I mean, I reach out over there from time to time. i throw my eyes ideas out there from time to time you know that’s that’s what i do i mean it’s they always invite me to offer ideas and suggestions so i do I’d just like to see him take me up.
SPEAKER 18 :
I would, too. So would all of America. We all would. Speaking for a few million people, we all would. Charles Payne used to make money with Charles Payne. You can watch it weekdays, 2 to 3 p.m. Eastern on Fox Business. We’re on air for the part of it, so I always have to prerecord it. But I love your show. Thank you so much, Charles. We appreciate your insight. Happy Thanksgiving, belatedly. Good to see you.
SPEAKER 17 :
You too.
SPEAKER 18 :
As we move, the folks who help make the program possible is the people over at Relief Factor. They want me to tell you about this guy named Travis Clark. We’ve never met. I don’t know who he is, but he’s, I guess, close with the Relief Factor people. So he told Relief Factor that it took him previously a whole hour to walk a mile. Today, he can walk four miles in that same hour, and he began running again for the first time in a decade. That’s his story. All I’m going to tell you is this. Relief Factor targets inflammation that can keep you from exercising and enjoying the things that you love. It’s a 100% drug-free formula. It’s made with research-backed ingredients, which most things are research-backed ingredients, including omega-3s, resveratrol.

SPEAKER 09 :
Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States.
SPEAKER 22 :
True. This creates danger. And I’ll tell you what, in my time on this, I’d never seen this before. People driving my house by my house and using the R word in front of people. This is shameful. And I have yet to see an elected official, a Republican elected official say, you’re right, that’s shameful. He should not say it. So, look, I’m worried. We know how these things go. They start with taunts. They turn to violence. So deeply concerned.
SPEAKER 18 :
No one believes anything that he’s saying here. This is just so goofy. No one believes this. I mean, nobody believes that people are just driving past his house and saying that he’s, you know, the R word or whatever. That’s Tim Walz.
SPEAKER 09 :
Are they calling him Republican? What’s the R word?
SPEAKER 18 :
Retarded. Oh. It’s like a no-no word you can’t say.
SPEAKER 09 :
Oh.
SPEAKER 18 :
I don’t know. I don’t know. I… I don’t know.
SPEAKER 09 :
So if we’re to take him at his word, then he’s admitting all the rhetoric from the left over the last eight years since Trump, nine years plus, leads to violence. So is that what he is admitting then?
SPEAKER 18 :
It was his appointee who killed the… One of the lawmakers there in Minnesota was one of his appointees. So I don’t get what he’s talking. I mean, I don’t nobody believes this. Nobody believes that he’s doing this. Nobody literally believes us from him. It’s just so it’s ridiculous. So coming up, we got a lot of stuff to get to. We got to we’re going to talk about this hostage video with the many. It’s not a real hostage video, but it seems like it does it not. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry, who. Was eating. I was trying looking at the video on my monitor, which is why I’m gazing into the screen because we don’t have teleprompters here. So the I don’t know what he’s eating. Is it rice? It was a he’s eating a Somali meal and they’re doing it as like this performative middle finger to Trump or something. I don’t know.
SPEAKER 09 :
There may be rice in there. I don’t see a lot of it, though. Yeah, I don’t know.
SPEAKER 18 :
I don’t know. And he’s it’s just weird. And he looks uncomfortable. He looks deeply uncomfortable and like it’s very hostage. So we’re going to talk about that as well. We’re also going to get into this phenomenon of women who have dolls and they treat them like babies because it reminded me of Candace Owens with Charlie Kirk’s conspiracy theories. It did. So we’re going to the video is weird. We’re going to talk about that. That’s like a whole thing. Also, if you get the newsletter, you saw Cain has authored a piece there today. And this is coming up in our third hour. This is an insane story. So the teacher that had the it was a quote from Charlie Kirk in his classroom, just, you know, with other famous people’s quotes. And it was a big thing in the school. And they were trying to tell him to take it down. He ended up winning. He could keep it up. And he wrote a book about it. And then Amazon targeted his book. And now they’ve got a new principal at the school that’s investigating him for being conservative. We’re going to get into all of that and more. Stick with us.

SPEAKER 01 :
The entire planet has fallen off a cliff. into the stupid zone where I don’t even know what’s going on anymore. This is a small planet. We have to work together and live together and we can do that. The bad guys exploit the illusion of differences. Do you really think these refugees and immigrants are different than us? Do you really believe what these clowns like Trump, Orban, Netanyahu, Putin, do you really believe what these guys say? Or do you look at your heart and you go, wow, now the world isn’t like that. It’s all there. If we can remove the stupid stuff that most of these bad guy leaders are dumping on us, get rid of that, the crud, and go back to who we really are, which is really profound kindness inside of us.
SPEAKER 18 :
I’m in a really crabby mood right now. You know this guy. Oh, gosh, Dana, guard your mouth right now. He’s a big fan of the old CCP. You know that, right? Richard Gere, a.k.a. Cindy Crawford’s first husband, a.k.a. the 80-year-old married to a 40-year-old. Yeah, a.k.a. Mr. Gerbil. Don’t Google that one, kids. Don’t. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lashley, the top of the second hour. So this is since the winter year. Richard Gere, he’s upset over what POTUS has said about the Somali community in Minnesota that’s been bilking taxpayers. He’s upset over this. And I don’t really care if he is or not, because it’s always these individuals who whenever they talk about it, whether it’s him, whether I’m pulling up Ben Stiller’s remark from yesterday from yesterday or the day before, rather like Ben Stiller, when he was talking about it, they they omit the part that people are objecting to the fraud. And they act like Trump is just out there. Well, I just don’t like those Somalis. They’re they’re ignoring the whole fact that he was talking about the fraud. And what’s being perpetrated against the taxpayer in Minnesota. Richard Gere. Does he act anymore? Don’t answer that. Is he still in things? I don’t even know what the hell he does anymore. Gosh, just shut up. Just shut your old man mouth. So tired of it. Can’t he just retire and go into, you know… go into that good night can he just go away the last thing i need is some barely literate gerbil loving celebrity sitting here lecturing all of us about what we can get outraged over where it concerns our taxpayer dollars you steal my taxpayer dollars i may set your damn yard on fire i don’t care i’m just there already i’m so i’m just so aggravated at all of it richard gear Was he ever attractive? Is that the other thing, too? Was he ever considered a Hollywood it guy? I don’t even know what the hell he’s been in. They said he got blacklisted from some movies or something like that, probably because he sucks out loud. I don’t know what he does. What does he do now?
SPEAKER 09 :
I assume he still acts or does those things.
SPEAKER 18 :
What podcast is he on?
SPEAKER 09 :
Back in the day, right?
SPEAKER 18 :
What godforsaken podcast did he show up on? Some Tom, Dick, and Harry podcast. I don’t even know what thing he’s on. Actor and activist, it says here. Kill us all now. Unimportant. Oh, people are driven by profound kindness. You know, people like, you know, Trump and Netanyahu, they teach us that Somali. Why did Netanyahu? Look, I get it that he is absolutely he just dry humps Jew hatred. I get it. He’s one of those twinks that gets off on that. That’s like a whole subset. People who get off on hating Jews. He’s one of them. I get that. That’s like his thing. I don’t know why Netanyahu. I mean, that’s the only thing that explains why Netanyahu got into this. What the hell does Netanyahu have to do with Somalis in Minnesota? King’s dying. What? What does he have to do with Somalis? All of a sudden, like, oh, I stubbed my toe. Gosh dang that Netanyahu. Where the hell does this come from? How are these people like this? They’re calling the wrong person retarded. It’s not Tim Walsh. It also is, but it’s also Richard Gere. Jiminy Christmas. I mean, do you really think these refugees and immigrants are different from us? Well, considering that I’m not robbing my fellow man of their taxpayer dollars, that’s a hell yeah. The fact that we don’t descend into tribal feudalism here in the United States like they do in Somalia, that’s a yes. He thinks the psychology of these people, they think they’re so much better than you. They’re so much better than you. Look at Richard Gere and his enlightened and enlightenedness. You know, how dare you, Cain, you dirty proletariat past judgment on these precious baby Somali diaspora that are stealing literally hundreds of billions of dollars. From taxpayers.
SPEAKER 09 :
Is it judgment or is it just discernment? Just shedding light?
SPEAKER 18 :
Well, it’s all racism, I’m sure.
SPEAKER 09 :
Oh, is it?
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, it’s all R-A-Y-S-I-S-ism. That’s what it is. I mean, I’m not even getting into the sex trafficking stuff because now they have part of the Somali diaspora that are involved in sex trafficking going back all the way to 2006. Because they have their own little mafia up there. You know, they come from Somalia. They bring their tribal warlordism. And then they pimp out chicks. I mean, it’s like a whole thing. Local media at least did talk about it. Their community radio station up there did talk about it. They talked about the Somali sex rings that they have. University of Minnesota, they had a whole thing about it where they were talking about troubled youths and Somali immigrants that are involved in all of this. So, yeah, going back to his point, I would say that because I don’t sell my fellow man into sex slavery, bring my warlord tribalism to my neighborhood. And I don’t bilk my fellow man out of billions of dollars of their hard earned money and rob them of what they could be using for their family. Yeah, I’m better. I’m different. Yeah. And I have no problem saying that if you have a problem with it, you can go do something so completely irrevocably unflattering to yourself. I don’t care. There you go. I just I’m getting tired of the lectures from these people. And he sits here at this godforsaken Ikea table. I’m so tired of seeing these stupid, stupid modern furniture and these crappy little podcasts. He’s sitting here at this godforsaken Ikea table. Pinkies out, gerbils up. Like he’s sitting at this table like, oh, you guys are so mean. Talking about the immigrants that are putting women in sex slavery and all this stuff. And by the way, we’re talking about the immigrants that do this. It’s not our fault, short bus, if you are interpreting this as meaning every immigrant because you’re the racist or because you’re so desperate for a deflection against a scandal that you contributed to. that you have to do this. Well, they’re talking about all immigrants, not just the immigrants that are perpetrating this. They’re talking about all of the immigrants. No, we’re talking about the people who are doing this. How hard is that for you absolute demons to understand? We’re talking about the people who are engaged in this. And yeah, if you’re looking the other way, you’re part of the problem. If you’re in the community and you’re not participating in it, but you’re protecting it by not saying anything, you’re part of the problem. You’re no different. This idea, one of the stupidest things, though, I’ll tell you this, one of the dumbest things that Republicans could do. And I see I saw a couple of people at Daily Wire trying to do this. And I’m like, God, help us all. They were if you try to make this all about race. It’s not all about race. I mean, that’s kind of ignorant because you’re that those arguments presuppose that every single culture that’s outside of the United States is the same and it’s not. You know, there are are I hate saying that I hate using the leftist phrasing. It makes me resentful and it turns me into South Park radicalism or Beavis and Butthead radicalism. But there are some cultures that are barbaric and incompatible with current modern era. That’s a fact. You know, if you’re if you’re involved in female genital mutilation, that’s like a witch cult and not like in a good. I mean, it’s just that’s that’s a cult. That’s a demonic cult. If you feel like cutting up women and female genital mutilation, that is a barbaric practice that is incompatible with today’s modern era. You know, if you’re if it’s about denying women equal representation in the courtroom because they have vaginas because of your Syria, then, yeah, that’s a barbaric practice. It’s a barbaric culture and it’s incompatible with modern era. If you have a problem with that, I’ll direct you to all of the other achievements that Western nations have have been able to accomplish over that barbarism. So, yeah, there are certain things that there it’s certain cultures are absolute garbage. That is just absolute fact. It’s not wrong to say it either. And it’s not, you know, to be mean, but I’m not going to sit here and lie and engage in the practice of sin by pretending otherwise, just to make some people feel better or to help them, to aid them in their dodging of accountability and responsibility. That brings me to the, I’m just pulling this up. So I was reading how Because wasn’t Ilhan Omar, if memory serves, and I know my memory is amazing. If memory serves, wasn’t she involved in, yeah, she introduced the bill. This is it right here. I got it right here. Speaking of, she introduced the bill that allowed that $250 million welfare fraud scheme to happen in her district. Were you guys aware of this? You know, if we’re talking about who’s at fault and all of that jazz. She this and New York Post says it’s one billion, but honestly, it’s way above that. She was looking at the story. She introduced that bill. Remember yesterday we played the video of her outside of the restaurant where she. What was it? The Safari, whatever. I don’t remember where the owner was convicted of fraud, like millions, tens of millions of dollars of fraud. And she introduced the bill. She claims to be completely unaware of it. But according to the Minnesota-based Center of the American Experiment to the New York Post, she actually was the one who introduced that bill. And, of course, that led to all these people. defrauding the taxpayer. For instance, let me put this. This guy, this is the restaurant that donated to her campaign that she went and did that media interview with. So the Minnesota Star Tribune had a piece where they were discussing all of the different fraud and the ways it’s associated with her campaign, all of these different people that are involved in it. And That restaurant where she was at numerous occasions, she held an event there. They donated to her campaign. Salim Ahmed Saeed, the safari restaurant, that’s where she held her congressional victory party, too. So he stole like 15 million some odd dollars because he made up his. He said that he served 4 million phantom meals during COVID. Now remember, that was the Feed Our Future thing. The Feed Our Future thing, just to remind you, that was the program that was feeding kids that weren’t able to go to school, and that was where they could get their healthy food, so they fed them. And he made up 4 million meals. He overinflated by 4 million the number of meals he was serving. Millions of dollars. Do you know that he had a $9,000 a month shopping habit at Nordstrom? So when they charged him and he was convicted, all of this stuff came out in court. This guy spent $9,000 a month shopping for luxury items at Nordstrom. Head to toe in Gucci. This guy’s head to toe in Gucci. He’s head to toe Ferragamo, Gucci. He’s buying like $2,000 jackets. 9,000, that’s the average a month that he spent at Nordstrom. And he was a big donor to her money. How much you want to bet that a lot of that stolen taxpayer money ended up on her campaign? We got to get moving. You’re going to be enraged when I tell you some of the other stuff this money’s been spent on. I mean, you ought to be. You have every right to be. So as we head into the holidays, it’s not just about gifts. It’s about gratitude and protecting what really matters, family and the future. and your financial security.

SPEAKER 09 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 18 :
Okay, this should be a whole segment. This is not something that should be in Quick Five, and here’s why. It’s about Die Hard, which is a Christmas movie. I’ll say it again. Die Hard, which is a Christmas movie. The Christmas movie Die Hard. Have you seen it, Kane? Yes, I have. It’s like one of the best of the season.
SPEAKER 17 :
It is.
SPEAKER 18 :
So The Guardian, which is basically… photographic and word feces. It’s a British publication. They did a survey, like, I care what they think. They did a survey of the British, and they, the British public’s verdict, Cain, is that Die Hard is, in fact, not a Christmas movie.
SPEAKER 09 :
I disagree.
SPEAKER 18 :
They have literal rape games in Rotherham. So I don’t… I’m not going to listen to you on this. It’s a Christmas movie. Do you know why Die Hard’s a Christmas movie? Because it happens over Christmas. That’s why. And because there’s a Christmas tree. And because they play Christmas songs.
SPEAKER 09 :
I think he wears a Santa hat.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, he wears a Santa hat. Ho, ho, hoes. It’s a Christmas movie. Don’t care what your stupid poll says. Look, Die Hard’s a Christmas movie, and Roadhouse is one of the top three best movies that’s ever been made. Mm-hmm. All right, so an old man tries to rescue an injured raccoon and got bitten in the face while driving. Oh, my gosh. And then he learned it had rabies after this. What happens? No good deed goes unpunished. He found this poor little injured raccoon, tried to bring it to the nature center himself, wrapped it up in his coat, held it against his chest. He drove for over an hour. The raccoon went crazy because it was rabid, bit him on his face and hands, bit him in the face. So then he went home to wrap the raccoon in a blanket with duct tape. before driving it to the nature center. And the camp was like, oh my gosh. And then he had to go to the hospital to get treatment. And they had to re-euthanize the raccoon. That’s how they determine whether or not it has rabies. They kill it, cut its head open, and test its brain. That’s how that happens. Yeah, you didn’t know that? Yeah, so that thing totally had so many rabies. It had all the rabies, Kane. It had all the rabies. The raccoon that bit the man in the face. It had all of them. So for the first time ever, eight spacecraft are docked at the International Space Station. They’re having an intergalactic kegger up there. And they said they got some Ruskies up there. But apparently they haven’t had this many up there since like the late 90s. It’s just pretty crazy. We got a lot more on the way. Stick with us. Go and get those turmeric chews at Sam’s Club. They’re $5 off right now. And if you don’t get them, then you must love inflammation and feeling horrible. I mean, you know, I don’t want to sound mean, but these things are tasty. You’ve had them before, Cain. They’re tasty.
SPEAKER 09 :
They’re my fave.
SPEAKER 18 :
They’re like light citrus. So I like turmeric. I think these chews do a lot to help with inflammation. So you guys know, like having a healthy inflammatory response is important. But a lot of turmeric out there is just garbage because the body struggles to absorb it all. And this is where Human, the company that has the interestingly sound, the interesting name, they’re behind Super Beats. They have this clinically studied, chronologically turmeric curcumin complex. And they helped solve the issue by making a highly absorbable form of turmeric, which you know for its antioxidant properties and all of that. With a lot of this other stuff, the body struggles to utilize it effectively. But the turmeric that they use, it’s a standout form of turmeric. One serving delivers the equivalent antioxidant support of what you would find or what you would have to take large amounts of just to get. And it makes the benefits super convenient. And the complex that they use, the turmeric curcumin, it has a significantly higher absorption than conventional turmeric extract. So that means your body’s getting more from every serving. And it’s just one like orange citrus flavored chew. There’s no added sugar in it at all. I take it every single day and it tastes good. It does the job. I can tell the difference. And this is one of the products that I even travel with. I take a brand new bag and throw it in my suitcase every time I travel. And right now it’s $5 off at Sam’s Club. $5 off the turmeric chews, the clinically studied high absorption formula. And the offer ends December 29th. Once it’s gone, it’s gone. So go to Sam’s Club. Grab your turmeric chews by human while it’s still $5 off.

SPEAKER 18 :
Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. It’s a Friday. You know, I put up on my Instagram account the other, was it yesterday? I can’t remember. I had Christmas in Hollis with Run DMC as the soundtrack. And it was a picture of a Barbie with a cigarette. And she looked like she just stepped out of an explosion looking over a city skyline. And it said, we made it to December. And I was thinking about that when I saw this from Ben Rhodes, because these people, they’re not stopping with this Venezuelan boat. If you were to listen, let me just put it like this. If you’re listening to Democrats, let me just set the stage. This is how Democrats are talking about them Venezuelan drug boats, Cain. You see this, too. This is how they’re talking about these drug boats.
SPEAKER 17 :
These poor little Venezuelan fishermen.
SPEAKER 09 :
Innocent.
SPEAKER 17 :
Innocent. Innocent. In ascent. This poor little. This whale and this one out there. Fishing on their boats. Praising Jesus. Out on the sea. Singing to the sea life. Just living there. And they were bombed by Trump. Donald Trump. Flew an F-15 and bombed them. Himself. His flying. Just dropped a bomb and killed all of them.
SPEAKER 18 :
Killed their families. It was a nuke. I mean, the story gets bigger every single time they tell it. It was a hell bomb. Dropped a hell bomb on them.
SPEAKER 17 :
Killed all the wildlife, too. Awoke a kaiju. Then the kaiju came up and started causing problems. It was horrible.
SPEAKER 18 :
Now we’re facing existential crisis. If you listen to these people, that’s what it sounds like. Right? It’s that bad. I mean, we know the truth, but they’re all so siloed. So they’re all on CNN, and they all talk to each other, and it’s like they got to one-up each other with it.
SPEAKER 17 :
Well, they weren’t posing no threats to nobody. They’re out there living their lives, singing, giving prizes to the Lord. fishing in their little fishing boat. Then they were going to go back and help, you know, three-legged dogs that are blind and back in their hometowns and with the fish that they caught.
SPEAKER 18 :
That’s like the… I hear that every single time. Actually, I know I said 10. I meant 11. I’m sorry, but I will get 10. This is… Listen to Democrat Representative Jim Himes. This is cut 11. This is pretty much what I was saying. Yeah.
SPEAKER 20 :
You know, I live in a political world and a lot of folks, if you just tell them, you know, the president is killing narco terrorists in the Caribbean, you know, reasonably enough, they’ll say, you know, a lot of Americans die because of overdoses. And, you know, they might say they might say, OK, I’m supportive of that. Right. But what you need to do is you need to see two terrified men clinging to the wreckage of a ship. And these men are not this is not Pablo Escobar out there on a on a boat. You know, these are guys that Probably didn’t have a lot of economic opportunity. Made a terrible decision to participate in the drug trade.
SPEAKER 18 :
They’re just out there terrified, man. They didn’t have a lot of economic opportunities. Just one bad decision. Just a bad decision. They’re out there. They just, you know, whoa is them. Oh, they’re just out there not having lots of economic opportunities. And that’s why they was the selling the drugs, Cain. And then the big, bad United States led by an F-15 flying Donald Trump. Bombs them and kills them all. Except when they were clinging to the wreckage. And then he comes back and kills them again. They just didn’t have a lot of… They were just out there for some bread.
SPEAKER 09 :
Democrats always defend evil. And when they’re not defending evil, they’re going and having a margarita with them. Like it’s it’s literally what Democrats do. And I don’t trust the party who can’t give us the difference between men and women to tell us the difference between a fishing boat and a drug boat. I’m not going to sit here and hear it. I’m sorry, but it’s not happening.
SPEAKER 18 :
I mean, it’s pretty easy to tell the difference between like a fishing boat and then a high powered.
SPEAKER 09 :
It’s pretty easy to tell the difference between a man and a woman, too. But Democrats can’t do that.
SPEAKER 18 :
I mean, they you know how some people are colorblind. Well, they can’t see penises. This is a true thing, apparently. I don’t know if you guys knew that. Some people, we got a friend who can’t see red and green. I mean, you know, maybe they don’t see Wang.
SPEAKER 09 :
I don’t know. What’s the scientific term for that?
SPEAKER 18 :
Ask AI. Yeah, ask AI. And it’ll confirm this truth for me. Thank you for your attention to this matter. It’ll confirm this. That’s Democrat Representative Jim Himes. They’re just, you know, you know how AOC said people were looting the footlocker because they were looking for bread? Remember? She’s like, they’re just looking for bread to feed their families. That’s when all the looting was happening. You know, that’s also where I would go to get bread is the footlocker for some feet bread. I don’t know. Like, what the hell? This is so weird. Now, they’re just, you know, you better not go out fishing in no boats because the U.S. might think you’re a drug boat. You know, you know how you can tell it’s a drug boat? The drugs! The drugs! The drugs! That’s how to be Sam Kinison for a moment. You know, why don’t you leave the desert and move to where the food is? Why not? Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. I can’t. These people. Now, here’s Ben Rhodes saying, guys, it’s physically, physically impossible for these terrified. I mean, they make them sound like disciples. You know, they’re out there in the Sea of Galilee just hanging out of the boat, hanging out of the boat. It’s not a drug, but they’re just fishermen. Yeah, it’s just Matthew and Peter out there in the Gulf of America. They’re just out there. Matthew and Peter hanging out. They’re just getting some fishes. You know, it’s all Ben Rhodes says it’s physically impossible that people hanging onto a burning boat or a threat. This is cut 10.
SPEAKER 13 :
But this is the definition of why they have laws of war so that people who are in duress, people who are wounded, people who can pose literally no threat whatsoever. I mean, there’s no spin that can describe how people hanging on to a burning boat posed a threat to U.S. military forces whatsoever.
SPEAKER 18 :
That’s wasn’t he like. A fiction, like a romance author or a fiction author or something like that. He’s an Obama staffer. Ben Rhodes with his little douchey earbud in there sticking out. Good grief. Which is the technological mullet, by the way. I’m going to say that. People walk around with those all the time. I’m like, at least the mullet was stylish at one point. Maybe it is again with Danny McBride. So he’s like, they’re hanging on to a bolt. They did not pose a threat anymore to the military. What did the JAG officer say? Remember what JAG was saying and what came out is that they were still in the fight. Meaning they’re probably still shooting. I’m thinking. But I love Ben Rhodes. He could not bust a grape in a fruit fight. And this dude’s out here like, well, they didn’t pose a threat, King. You know what I feel? This is sidebar. I won’t take a salary, but just have me be the government bully. Just bully these twerps, people like Ben Rhodes. Just make them question their entire existence and have a breakdown of self-confidence. I’ll do that for the nation because I love my country. I can’t stand this. He’s sitting there in his little foggy bottom condo with an earbud. His little earbud. They just don’t pose a threat anymore. What about right before the boat got blowed up, dude? What about that point? Anything. They love drug dealers. They love this stuff. Are they getting kickbacks? I mean, I just got to… I feel like they’re out there trying to protect their revenue stream. Doesn’t it seem like that? I’ve never seen people go to bat so hard for cartels in my life. I feel like Ben Rhodes would throw himself in front of Pablo Escobar if he could back in the day. Like, for the love. I’ve never seen people go so hard in defending drug cartels. I mean, you guys got to be getting paid… You got to be getting paid. You’re on that booger sugar teat for sure. You’ve got to be getting some cash money off of this. No way people would defend this stuff.
SPEAKER 09 :
That explains why they’re so upset at blowing up drug boats.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah. I mean, Ben Rhodes is probably watching his December stash sink to the sea floor. You know, to say nothing. Hunter Biden. How much you want about Hunter Biden’s down there right now? Like he learned to scuba dive and got certified so he could go down there and dig it up. Someone said he’s in South Africa, by the way. I wouldn’t doubt it. Yeah, I… This is Chris Coons. This is Audio Sound by 13. Chris Coons asking questions about the drug boat.
SPEAKER 16 :
But I have more policy questions than ever about the framing of the mission, the rules of engagement. Oh, yes, sir. I’m not going to get into the details, but there were some things that I was briefed on that are reassuring about process, about intelligence, about the role of the JAGs. But more broadly, what we are asking the men and women of our armed forces, and particularly special forces, to do, I think still lacks clear justification.
SPEAKER 18 :
Hmm. Yeah. Back to, so he’s saying that I got, you know, the, the, it helps when you’re totally blowing smoke out of your cheeks to do your, to do the, the stunted blade hand. You guys know what that is? That’s when you cup your hands and you’re just like, like you just push it forward. It’s meaningless, but it makes it seem like you’re making a point. You’re just pushing it forward. The framing of the mission is, What is there to understand? Baddies were running bad stuff into the United States and they were told no-nos and then they got blowed up. I mean, this is like picture pages stuff. This is like schoolhouse rock kind of stuff. This is pretty elementary, my dude.
SPEAKER 09 :
It’s very elementary. And keep in mind, this was September 2nd, early September when this happened. Trump had plenty of warnings. To Venezuela about all of this. He had already done it before and said he was going to do it again. So they did the F.A. and then they experienced the F.O. That’s how it was.
SPEAKER 18 :
That’s kind of what happens, you know. That’s what happens. You know, there’s consequence and cause and effect. The way that they are just freaking out over this is, I don’t know. It’s pretty amazing. Now… Oh, I really want to get into 19. Do I have time? Or should I wait? Because Gavin Newsom was asked… So, we played this audio soundbite yesterday. Remember, it was Holly… It was at some event. Yeah, which is… I can’t remember the event it was at. Holly Berry was on stage. She was supposed to introduce Gavin Newsom. And she basically lit him on fire. And said… Not basically. She pretty much did. Without the fire, but with her words. But she… said that he betrayed women because he like vetoed some menopause bill or something like that she just she she completely eviscerated him and flayed him on stage then he had to walk out and talk so he was asked about it let’s just play cut 19 real quick it’s 30 seconds real quick governor how are you sir good to see you last question for you
SPEAKER 21 :
Obviously, Holly Berry had some comments. Do you have any? She had. Actually, just connected with her manager. We’re reconciling. I’ve included it in the budget next year. She didn’t know that. Oh, really? So we’re reconciling. So what’s your message to women who might have been offended by the bill? What do they not understand about the bill that they should understand? They didn’t understand we already were in the process of fixing it. So we’re getting it fixed. So did you talk to her manager exactly?
SPEAKER 18 :
Well, we’re going to reconcile that. We’re going to get it situated. We’re going to get it… I don’t think so. I call BS. I call BS, too. I wouldn’t… I mean, she don’t murk you, dude. Like, politically, rhetorically speaking, because, you know, he’s a big sissy and he’s going to freak out over just the mere suggestion of that. You know, I’ve told you guys many times before, I always carry… I have zero issue. I train for it. I have zero issue using lethal force to defend my life or the life of my family or a loved one. And this is where, you know, not everybody has that value. Not everybody shares those values. Not every not every place you go has that value. And so that’s why it’s important to make sure that you have a diversified weapons array. Right. For the times when you got to go and you don’t have a choice, local or municipal property restrictions, private property, whatever it is, you’re not able to carry. So what are you going to take? I mean, if you have a stun gun, that’s all fine and good. You know, maybe it’s like one or two rounds. Have you looked at the Burna gun? So the Burna gun, it shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. Now, that has a 15 round shot capacity per cartridge, specifically when you get the compact launcher. It’s the CL for short, all made right here in the USA. And there’s no background checks. There’s no permits. There’s no tax stamp fee. You don’t have to have any of that. You can order it online and it sends right to your door. I also think this is a good option for college kids that are living alone. Maybe they’re not old enough to carry. They still want to be able to protect themselves because let’s be real, crime has increased, especially in a lot of these college towns that are in these bigger cities. This gives you the legal flexibility while also giving you some protection. And you can take advantage of their Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale. 15% off site-wide. Biggest sale of the year. Don’t miss the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale. You can visit Burna.com. That’s B-Y-R-N-A. Ready when you are.

SPEAKER 09 :
It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.
SPEAKER 18 :
All right. So first up. This is not, if it sounds familiar, it’s not because we’ve read it before. It’s because this is a new one that’s happened. A Port Charlotte man, Florida man, got drunk and tried to enter the wrong house. Nolan Worrell, 23 years old in Port Charlotte, then got himself arrested Monday evening, Kane, because he was accused of attempting to break into a neighbor’s home while he was drunk as a skunk or a raccoon, mistakenly believing that it was his own house. At 7 p.m., Tom Dorothy, a man that has two first names, he heard banging at the empty house next door to his own. And when he went out and kind of peered out in the dark, he thought, well, he saw a nearly naked man. He was wearing just shorts, no shoes, no shirt, no nothing. Cops arrived. He wasn’t trying to break into the house for any nefarious reason. He was trying to get home and he was so drunk he couldn’t remember which house was his.
SPEAKER 09 :
That’s thoroughly drunk.
SPEAKER 18 :
Can you really be that drunk where you don’t remember… I’ve seen it. …what house you live in?
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 18 :
Because you’re talking about messing with core memories at that point. I don’t know. I don’t know.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, but some more dominant core memories are what come forward when you’re really, really drunk. So I’ve had friends that actually go to their old house by accident because of that.
SPEAKER 18 :
That’s kind of crazy. So in addition to that… We also have a Florida man told BWI employees, this is an airport, that he had an explosive device and they had to evacuate everything. It was the Thurgood Marshall Airport. He said he had an explosive device in his bag, and this was in Maryland. Florida man. And he was getting ready to, people who are in the process of boarding the plane were told that they had to get off and they had to evacuate and all of this stuff because this guy was, I guess, just having a fit and saying that he had an explosive device in his bag.
SPEAKER 09 :
He didn’t want to pay for the parking.
SPEAKER 18 :
You know, he didn’t want to pay for parking. I mean, it took 30 minutes, not even that, for them to be like, this guy’s full of it. But just because he was full of it does not mean that they did not detain him. It doesn’t matter whether or not you have a bomb. You’re going to have a felony charge regardless. So he went to the pokey. What?
SPEAKER 09 :
It’s a good place for him.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah. A Florida woman who wanted to sacrifice her husband and son tried to strangle a nurse. Ooh, this was in Pinellas Park, Florida. The woman was trying to sacrifice her husband. She got arrested. Then she tried to strangle a nurse, 58 years old. Karen, of course it is, Karen Dietert, she used a power cord from her ankle monitor to strangle the nurse. That is the most, that’s the most cops thing I’ve ever heard of in my life. Used her ankle monitor’s cord to strangle the nurse. We got more on the way. Stick with us.

SPEAKER 18 :
Welcome back and happy Friday, ladies and gentlemen. Dana Lash with you. We are at the top of this third hour. Hey, do you guys want to see Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry pretend to enjoy a succulent Somali meal? Let’s watch. It’s like a hostage video. They’re like, don’t you like it? Don’t you love our food? And he’s just look at him. I’ve never seen anybody kiss so much backside in my life. Look at him. He’s on the struggle bus. Look at his food. He’s like, it’s tasty. You can’t swallow. It’s great. Dude, look how he is struggling. This is me when I was told to eat all my vegetables at the table as a kid. That’s me right there. I could watch this on loop.
SPEAKER 09 :
What is that dish? Just looks like a pile of beans.
SPEAKER 18 :
What the hell slop is this?
SPEAKER 09 :
I have no idea.
SPEAKER 18 :
I don’t care if it’s mean to ask, but I’m going to. What is that? It just looks like a bunch of black eyed peas. What is that? I don’t know what he’s eating, but by the way, that freeze on his face, does that look like a man who’s enjoying his food? No. It does not, right? I’m not reading too much into this, Kane, correct? No, you’re not. Look at that. He is dying. And then the guy sitting next to him, yes, isn’t it good? And he’s like, yeah, it’s okay. It’s great. Yeah, it’s totally fine. No, it’s not. He looks… He is not having a good time.
SPEAKER 09 :
It’s like what you do when someone brings a dish to the potluck that you don’t like.
SPEAKER 18 :
Oh, I don’t do potlucks.
SPEAKER 09 :
And you do… Oh, you don’t? I haven’t done one in a long time, but… Yeah, I don’t do that. And you taste it and it’s not great, but you don’t want to be that person.
SPEAKER 18 :
No, because I am that person.
SPEAKER 09 :
I’ll be like, this tastes like… Maybe why you don’t do potlucks anymore.
SPEAKER 18 :
It’s gross. If I don’t… I have to trust you. Do you have levels of trust for people I do? And the top level is, would I let you watch my dog? The second is, well, it’s pretty much the same on the same level. Would I let you babysit my dog? And then would I also eat something out of your kitchen? They’re pretty much on the same thing, on the same level. I don’t need anything out of anybody’s kitchen if I don’t trust them or know them well. I don’t know what happens in there. They might cook with their feet. I don’t know what they do.
SPEAKER 09 :
I forgot to tell you my mom sent some tamales for you guys. I’ve got to bring those in.
SPEAKER 18 :
You just now tell me this?
SPEAKER 09 :
I forgot about it.
SPEAKER 18 :
I forgot to give you a little buntlet. That’s okay.
SPEAKER 09 :
Oh, yeah. I forgot to. I know.
SPEAKER 18 :
I got it. I messed it up. It’s okay. But I don’t eat anything out of anybody’s kitchen if I don’t trust them or if I don’t know what their kitchen looks like because I don’t know. Some people can be nasty, right? Even normal people that you think are good. Yeah. What movie am I thinking of with Rowdy Roddy Piper? And they’re, what is it? They were aliens. He’s like, I’m here to.
SPEAKER 09 :
Chew gum.
SPEAKER 18 :
I’m here to chew bubble gum and kick ass. I’m all out of bubble gum. But everybody was an alien when you put on them special x-ray glasses. That’s what it’s like. People can be weird and they seem normal and then you see their kitchen and it’s like nasty. Or you find out that they’re like Meghan Markle and they stick their hands up the butt of a turkey with all their $463,000 worth of jewelry on. No joke. And then they pull it out and they got salmonella rings and all that stuff. Yeah. I mean, I don’t know. So I’m real weird with that kind of stuff. I don’t do buffets. I don’t do any of that. And the last time I did a buffet was at a Golden Corral. And you’re talking about I previously was like the number one fan of buffets, right? I was the buffet valedictorian if there ever could be one. The gold medal lover of buffets. And I literally was at a Golden Corral. This was about 11 years ago. And I watched a kid hands to sky. He was playing with his nose, and then he reached through the plastic, the little sneeze guard, and touched a chocolate fountain at the Golden Corral. And I went, that’s it. I’m done. And that was it. That was the last time we ever went to a buffet came. I will make an exception if it’s a Shoney’s and it’s breakfast, because the bacon.
SPEAKER 09 :
Oh, I remember that.
SPEAKER 18 :
Nothing lives on bacon.
SPEAKER 09 :
The big old tub of bacon.
SPEAKER 18 :
Oh, my gosh. It’s America, right? I mean, you go in there and eagles cry and they applaud you and you’re high-fiving all the angels. Anyway, so back to Jacob Fry. This poor man. I feel like I’m watching someone at a… Carolina Reaper pepper eating contest. That’s what it looks like. He is dying right now. And he’s not swallowing. He’s just moving the food around on his plate. Notice he doesn’t really eat it. He will not swallow. And I don’t know. I mean, can I say something that’s probably super politically incorrect?
SPEAKER 09 :
Of course.
SPEAKER 18 :
Okay, when you think of foodies, and I’m a foodie, You know, and you go, like, I like food tourism, like countries that you want to eat their food, like Italy. I won’t go to France, though, because they got all the Islamists. But Italy, you know, there’s like, you know, even I like a lot of Scottish cuisine. I love haggis. I do like legit haggis. It’s tasty. I didn’t think I would like it, but I do. It’s delicious. I just don’t think that a country that’s known for famine would be like a foodie haven for You know what I’m saying? Like it’s a Sally Struthers commercial. You know what I’m saying? Does that mean to say?
SPEAKER 09 :
No, I think it’s pretty spot on. I mean, they may enjoy sandwiches given to them by camera people. But other than that, you’re right. What would they know about food?
SPEAKER 18 :
I mean, Fray’s given major hostage face in that video. Like he’s serving hostage face. That’s… It’s pretty. Oh, my gosh. Now, my other question was, what tribe is he dining with? Is he going to have to go to all the little tribal factions? Because it’s in Minnesota. But remember, in order to understand their mayoral drama, you had to follow the Somali tribal warfare. I know I didn’t make the rules. That’s just the way it is right now. I don’t know, guys. All right. Can we talk about doll moms? It’s Friday.
SPEAKER 09 :
It’s just for pretend, right? It’s just a small thing.
SPEAKER 18 :
No, no. There’s apparently a thing. It’s a growing trend of women who pretend that dolls are real babies. Can I just show you cut 24, please? This is cut 24. This is the doll mom thing.
SPEAKER 17 :
It’s a lady. Morning, doll mom.
SPEAKER 09 :
She’s talking to it, too.
SPEAKER 18 :
Look at it. It looks like a possessed thing. Why is its hair that long? No baby’s got that kind of hair.
SPEAKER 09 :
The Chucky haircut?
SPEAKER 18 :
No baby’s got that long hair.
SPEAKER 17 :
Good morning, sweet baby. It’s another doll.
SPEAKER 01 :
It is another doll. Good morning, Adelia. Oh my gosh, what?
SPEAKER 17 :
What? She has whole rooms.
SPEAKER 09 :
What? She’s getting real snacks out?
SPEAKER 17 :
Yeah. Real snacks. They’re dolls. They can’t be dolls.
SPEAKER 18 :
Oh, my gosh. She’s manipulating.
SPEAKER 16 :
I hate mornings. What are we doing today? Putting together the storage racks and organizing all the hair accessories.
SPEAKER 17 :
This is nuts. What in the world?
SPEAKER 18 :
Now why she can’t wake up? Because it’s a doll. That’s why. No kid has that kind of hair. Those dolls have better hair than she does. She has a whole house outfitted with doll stuff. That’s sad. That is really sad. And highly realistic baby dolls. Apparently, Wall Street Journal has this piece. This is a growing trend, believe it or not. Now, I understand that there are some women, and I don’t want to hear the male email from it because not everything is about you, okay? Yes, some women experience loss and they have miscarriages and they get reborn dolls, which I think that you just you know, you need some therapy. And, you know, some people have Alzheimer’s and dementia. Stop. That’s not what this lady has. Stop it. And I’m not going to make it. This is weird. No caveat. It’s weird. You have an entire room for a doll. That’s like thousands of dollars of stuff in there for a doll. And it’s sad. I don’t I don’t want to make fun of her. It’s creepy, and this actually would be an amazing horror film now that I think of it. That would be an amazing horror film. I’m already scared, dude. Look at me. I’m already like, ooh. This is already terrifying. But it’s sad.
SPEAKER 09 :
So I’m confused, though, about the whole trad wife thing, like it being a target of feminism. Yeah. So is this going to be targeted by feminism? Because she’s just playing the role of a trad wife.
SPEAKER 18 :
Is she, though?
SPEAKER 09 :
I mean, she’s taking care of babies. She’s staying home, taking care of the babies.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, but where’s the husband and where’s the lord? That’s kind of part of the trad thing. I don’t know. But do you know how much some of these dolls are? So the Wall Street Journal says these are like $8,000 dolls. What?
SPEAKER 09 :
Dude. You mean all together?
SPEAKER 18 :
No, like each doll can be like anywhere from $3,000 to $8,000. Get out of here. For real. Like they punch the hair in the head. Like they hand hair it or whatever. I don’t know what that phrasing is. But it’s sad to me though. And they’re trying to fulfill something, trying to fill some kind of need. And it’s just sad. I mean, it makes me wonder, you know, I don’t know a lot about this lady. I don’t know if she’s got kids or know she you know what it is. But Wall Street Journal says it’s not just women who have miscarried or people who have Alzheimer’s. It’s not just that. That’s my point. It is grown beyond that. It is a lot more than just that now. So what is driving that? I did not know that this… Did you guys know this was a huge phenomenon? I didn’t know this. I did not. I did not. I was completely unaware of this. Now, Lorraine is freaking out. I can’t even say what… Are you redacting me? Is she using caps lock? Real baby formula? I think she is. I think she is. I… I can’t believe how expensive these things are. Now, when I was younger, I was a kid. One of a family member, they weren’t like lifelike baby dolls like this, and she didn’t play with them. They were like China dolls with the China doll face and like the weird, and she collected them and kept them in a cabinet. And whenever you would walk into the room, their lifeless, soulless, dead, demonic eyes would stare at you, follow you all around the room. I swear their faces glowed at night, but it could have been just me. That’s different. This is like there. And like I said, the Wall Street Journal piece noted and it’s not and it was on. I saw this thing on Instagram to what began as something to help Alzheimer’s patients like women who thought, you know, their memories they had regressed because of the disease back to like being a new mom and they didn’t know any better and you couldn’t get through to them or women dealing with loss or whatever. It’s so far beyond that. That’s why it’s a booming business. It’s not just that. It is a booming business. It is a huge trend. That’s why the Wall Street Journal wrote about it because they were like, what in the world? This is like people are making tons of money. You literally have luxury, lifelike doll dealers. And it’s not just collectors that just hold. I mean, they look like it’s just crazy. But it’s sad because why? What is happening in these women’s lives, especially when you think about the birth rate decline and the birth rate? I feel like they’re brooding. That’s what it is. They’re broody. I don’t know. There’s a New York Post had at this time last year. They had this story. Oh gosh, I hesitate sharing this with you, Kane. It’s so weird. They had this story where this one woman had eight of these dolls and she took them with her everywhere. She even bought like a specialized vehicle to load them in the vehicle. Craziness. Now coming up, I know, I don’t know how to segue out of that. It’s crazy. Kane has a piece over at Substack. And you guys remember William Loggins or maybe you know, if you didn’t miss it or if you missed it, you can go to the podcast for it. But this is a crazy story. So William Loggins was the teacher who had this like inspirational quote from Charlie Kirk up in his classroom. And then he got in trouble for it. And they he went to court because they were making him take it down all this stuff. Well, he wrote a book about free speech that Amazon’s decided to target. And then also the school got a new principal and now they’re punishing him for being a conservative. But Amazon’s AI was insisting that Charlie Kirk was a living public figure. We’re going to talk about this. Kane’s going to set it up. And then we’re going to talk to William Loggins about this coming up after headlines.

SPEAKER 09 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 18 :
So residents in Nevada were puzzled because they got… this notification from the U.S. Geological Survey about a magnitude 5.9 earthquake that apparently never happened. They deleted it, but apparently it was set at like 8 in the morning. Everybody was checking with their neighbors, but nobody felt any tremors. And I somehow got… mistakenly or erroneously sent out. The director of the Nevada Seismological Laboratory confirmed it didn’t happen. They were saying that maybe it originated from this shake alert system that relies on seismic stations in California and there was something there. But yeah, no earthquake. Didn’t happen. So that’s good news, right? But also you want it to work, though, when you need it. A man, let’s see, we got that already. That was in Florida, man. A man was injured after his pants caught on fire on the subway train in Midtown Manhattan. Yikes. Hot pants. He was recovering. Nobody set him on fire. He had burns to his legs. Well, kind of. I mean, he’s a homeless person. He fell asleep with a cigarette at the time of the incident. And then that’s ultimately what ended up happening. So he burned his pants because he fell asleep with a cigarette. During a road rage incident in Seattle, a man was stabbed in the neck by a woman. Seattle police are investigating. It was just this week before 3 p.m. They said two drivers got into a wreck. They got out, began arguing. The 44-year-old woman went back to her car as the male driver approached her and kept arguing, which was dumb for him to do. But still, she reached into her driver’s side door and then got a knife and apparently stabbed him right in the neck. She was arrested without incident. She’s still in the pokey, but she’s being investigated for assault. I would say assault with a deadly weapon, really. Police recover a swallowed Faberge pendant, Faberge egg, after a six-day wait for it to appear. And apparently, yeah, this is in New Zealand. It’s like this James Bond inspired Fabergé pendant and a man swallowed it in a jewelry store. They took him into custody and then they had to wait for him to, you know, pass it. We’re going to talk about the story of the teacher being targeted in Florida here coming up. Stick with us.

SPEAKER 18 :
Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. You can listen coast to coast and make sure you sign up for the podcast as well to get stuff that you missed. Chats at Rumble. So we had a guest on. This was what? About a month ago, maybe. Right, Kane? Back in October. Longer than that. Gosh, it seems like it wasn’t that long ago. We had a guest on who was a teacher in Florida and was displaying in his classroom a quote from Charlie Kirk, right, along with other very famous quotes from other notable people. And that’s the image right there that Juan is showing you. It said, never underestimate the power of your voice and the impact you can have on the world when you speak up for what you believe in. So that’s a great quote. That’s not political. We talked to him and his attorney at the time about this because he got in trouble with the school for having that up in his classroom. And there was a lot of stuff that happened. He ended up having to kind of fight the school on it. Cain has kept in touch with him and there are a lot more developments happening. to this. What happened after he was allowed to keep this up in his classroom? But what happened after, Kent?
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, largely after his appearance on the show here, the school board did back down, and they did allow him to keep that up. But then they announced shortly after that that he was under investigation for, quote, alleged misconduct. So I’d like to hear how that’s been developed.
SPEAKER 18 :
For alleged misconduct. And then you also wrote the foreword to a book that he wrote about it. Yeah, he decided to write a book.
SPEAKER 09 :
And I was honored that he asked me to write the foreword, so I did.
SPEAKER 18 :
And just to clear, it’s a book about free speech. This is the cover. It’s quiet courage in the classroom. One teacher’s stand for freedom and the future of America’s youth. Okay, yeah. I mean, it’s a book about free speech.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, that makes sense. So he publishes it himself, self-published. Right. Puts it out on Amazon. Amazon takes it. It’s up for a couple of days. It makes it to number 40 in just two days on their educational biographies list. And then Amazon pulls it. And they pull it after sending him an email that just simply states, sorry, but we found that your book was, quote, offensive. So that was weird. He also, in this amount of time, found out because the principal that was there at the school at the time he originally was asked to take the poster down has gone and moved on to another school. They now have a new principal. And apparently this new principal has been instructed to interview six of his students randomly. to get an overall view of his quote-unquote alleged misconduct while teaching conservatism or teaching capitalism and teaching the evils of communism, which, by the way, is required by Florida law. So he still has a target on his back from the school board. I guess they’re still reeling over the fact that they had to allow him to exercise his free speech.
SPEAKER 18 :
And I think what you just mentioned is incredibly important as well, because DeSantis signed legislation enhancing their educational standards on educating about the evils of communism. So he’s just following the law. So we have William Loggins, whose book, and as you can see, I want to make sure, Quiet Courage in the Classroom, One Teacher’s Stand for Freedom in the Future. of America’s youth. William Loggins joins us now via video. William, it’s good to see you. It’s good to see you again, but also not good because now they won’t leave you alone. I’m trying to understand the purpose of this new investigation. What do they think that they’re going to do that they weren’t able to do previously when you had to deal with us?
SPEAKER 19 :
Well, you know, Dana, I had people tell me, I actually had someone from the district call me. I can’t mention any names, but that person told me that you know there is a target on my back. The district apparently was embarrassed by this poster incident, so it’s back on the 15th of November. Three weeks ago I received an email from the district telling me that I was under investigation for alleged misconduct. And that’s all they said in the email. And by the way, I haven’t heard anything else from them up to this point, to this day. But the principal that just recently transferred, he was still there at the time, and I went and talked to him. And he told me that it was a student, an anonymous student, had complained that I was teaching conservative values in class. And I kind of put two and two together because the day before that, I was teaching, like both of y’all mentioned, the state-mandated values. course on evils of communism. Unfortunately, I’m the only social studies teacher in my school that does follow that mandate. But I was teaching that and I had a slide show on PowerPoint. And one of the slides I was talking about how socialism turns into communism and how young people are attracted to socialism. And I had pictures on the slide of Bernie Sanders and Mamdani and Lenin.
SPEAKER 18 :
Admitted socialists, Mamdani and Sanders. Admitted socialists.
SPEAKER 19 :
Right, exactly. And a student got up and stormed out of the classroom. So… I’m sure that’s where the anonymous complaint came from. But the thing that’s concerning to me is the fact that the principal that was transferred told me that that’s not normal procedure for them to interview students after only one anonymous complaint.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah. So now because of one complaint, now they’re trying to find six students. I guess with the purpose to cultivate this narrative against you, even though you’re simply following the educational mandate. And also, again, just to point out, the people whose photos that you showed and that you discussed in the slides have literally said that they are socialists. So that’s…
SPEAKER 19 :
i try i’m failing to see how anybody could be offended over that so there it seems like they’re trying to find people to confirmation bias against you yes i was called down uh to the uh see the new principal uh yesterday and and that was the first time i’d heard back about this this uh uh investigation But he told me that he was instructed by the district to interview six students from my classes randomly, he stated. And he would let me know what the outcome was soon. So I’m waiting to hear what that’s about. But I’m not worried about it. I do my job. My students are so important to me. And I will always tell them the truth. And I will always stand up for them and help them stand up for themselves.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah. We’re talking with William Loggins, the Florida teacher who was first targeted because he featured after Charlie Kirk’s assassination. He got the attention of the school district because he had just an inspirational quote of Charlie Kirk in his classroom, along with other famous Americans. And they started targeting him for that. Now, it just seems like now they’re targeting you just because you’re conservative. They’re going to try to get you on something. Do you even know the other students? Do you have an idea of who they’re questioning?
SPEAKER 19 :
No, and I don’t believe that any of them would back that story up. I mean, they may say, well, yeah, he was teaching about communism, but I don’t teach political ideology in my class. I don’t tell students I’m conservative and I want them to be conservative. I know that’s not allowed and I wouldn’t do it.
SPEAKER 18 :
So this brings us to the book. You wrote a book, self-published a book about this whole ordeal that you’ve been through. And you put it up on Amazon. And I’m trying to understand why in the world, because Amazon banned it. They banned the book. And they were claiming that the content was, quote unquote, offensive. Yet. I don’t know what would be offensive in it. You have no remedy. We’re left with no remedy on this at all. And there’s right now Juan is showing the post that William had up on X about this. So they were saying they had a number of issues with your book. The craziest to me is that they were trying to claim that Kirk is still alive. And that was one of their other big objections with your book.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah, that was actually an expert, so-called expert KDP, which is Kindle Direct Publishing Division of Amazon, which is what I went through to publish the book to get it on Amazon. And this expert, I guess he ran all that through AI because, you know, Cain pointed it out. And I thought it was kind of weird, too, that they would say that Charlie Kirk was still alive. But it mentioned that that statement about him in the book about being assassinated was one of the triggers that Amazon could have. It could have been a trigger for Amazon.
SPEAKER 18 :
That is, I mean, I was looking at the summary that the AI gave as well, and it seems like, you know, as Cain wrote in his post on it that’s up in Substack, that it was like, I mean, it’s really a misrepresentation. I mean, it’s a malicious misrepresentation of what you’re doing. You objected, or even Cain, you objected. I mean, what is even the course of action? Because my understanding is that they left you no remedy.
SPEAKER 19 :
Right. And they won’t even answer emails. Well, they vaguely answered one of my emails. I’ve emailed them several times to ask them, ask them to at least point out some things that they consider offensive. And the only email I got back from them was an email that stated that they stand by their decision.
SPEAKER 18 :
They stand. So the book is banned. There’s no could you I don’t know if there’s like a resubmission process or. anything that you can do, but as of now, it’s banned.
SPEAKER 19 :
Well, they threatened me that if I resubmitted the same book that I would lose my privileges with Amazon, publishing on Amazon.
SPEAKER 18 :
But I thought that the it was only supposed to be the right that banned books. Right. Wasn’t that the big old thing in Florida? They were accusing all the all the conservatives in Florida. Here you got a book banned and it’s not the way that the narrative went. I I’m sure that you have received support from members in the community and some some other families and students in your school district.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yes, overwhelming support. And when I was going through this poster incident, I received emails and phone calls from people all over the country, a lot of them teachers and some of them just citizens who admired what I was doing for the students. But what troubled me was the teacher, a few teachers that told me that I was brave and they wished they could be that brave. And it just made me think, why can’t they? It’s a shame that teachers are afraid of districts. They’re afraid of teaching the truth. And that got me to start a nonprofit. I started a nonprofit organization called the Freedom to Think Project. And what we’re going to do starting in January is we’re going to have seminars and meetings. We’re going to have speaker events where we’re going to have teachers that tell their stories about their fights with the districts. And we have some constitutional law attorneys speaking to them. And I want to try to encourage as many teachers as I can to, you know, stand up for their students because this generation coming up is it’s so important for us to stand up for them.
SPEAKER 18 :
I think that’s incredibly important because we always hear about very left leaning educators, but we never hear the stories. And I know they exist of those who are not left leaning and are very quietly persecuted by the district or their colleagues just simply for. not subscribing to a progressive worldview. And especially in Florida, where there was so much made of educators there and Florida law and education, and just very conveniently, they’re ignoring your plight. I know you probably can’t talk a lot about it if there is, but do you have a plan for a legal response, or is that something that you’re looking to pursue?
SPEAKER 19 :
Well, not at this time. You know, I’ve asked several people about it. It’s pretty much, you know, Amazon can do what they want because I self-published it. You know, when I finished the first couple of chapters, I sent them off to a couple of traditional publishers, and I didn’t hear anything back. So I went ahead. I wanted to get the book out there, so I self-published it. And when you do that with Amazon, you’re pretty much under their control with it. So I’m hoping that I can find a different avenue to get the book published. How ironic it would be if I got it published and then they put it on Amazon for sale.
SPEAKER 18 :
Exactly. Well, that’s what that’s what was my last question for you is where can people find get that book. And right now they can’t. So we’re going to be following up with you to follow up and see how that happens. So I’ve reached out to Attorney General Othmeyer’s office, James Oothmeyer, and I’m waiting to hear back from them. Because I just feel like, especially with all the stuff that was said about Florida education and the legislation, and they made it sound like all progressive teachers were in the political crosshairs. I mean, you’re the only one that actually is being And I mean, really, in the court of public opinion, prosecuted by the district simply because you just happen to privately think the way that you do, which is antithetical to what this nation is all about. William Loggins, the book, we’re going to follow this and we’ll follow back up with you as well. But I really appreciate your stance on this because, you know, it’s easy to be quiet and just go along to get along and you’re refusing to do that, which that’s where the difference is made. So we really appreciate you. for doing that and god bless you we’ll we’ll follow up again and have you back thank you dana of course thank you it’s good it’s good to talk with you and the book uh we’re like quiet courage in the classroom it’s a it’s a great title and kane wrote the forward to it the piece is up at substack right now chapter and verse and we’re going to follow up get bring with you all and let you know what the ag’s office says there uh because i just feel like that’s something that they need to be aware of i mean this is discrimination political viewpoint discrimination completely
