In this episode, we dive deep into the political earthquake that was the Miami election night, dissecting voter turnout and the shifting political landscape. Host Dana Lash shares her passionate concern over the lackluster participation from Republicans and the need for renewed engagement. From local races to national implications, Dana unravels the narratives surrounding the Miami election and challenges her audience to rise up and take action. It’s a message filled with both criticism and a call for accountability, urging everyone to rethink their participation and responsibility in the democratic process.
SPEAKER 04 :
Look at that. Our prices are coming down. Their prices… It’s a hoax. They just… Remember they said… This is going to be problematic, this kind of messaging coming up.
SPEAKER 02 :
I’m telling you. It’s going to be problematic. Because that’s… People are going to be reacting to that going to… Go into the ballot box. Welcome to the radio program. Dana Lash with you. It’s going to be problematic because we got to talk about the Miami race last night. And this is a list. There’s a list of other races, too. And I know I, you know, I’m not trying to de-spirit everyone, but I got to be honest with you. You know, there’s there’s a reason why we talk about these things and we talk about the race. turnout was abysmal last night. We’re going to set some of the narrative. There’s a couple of narratives that are wrong about the Miami race because it flipped from red to Democrat. It went from red to blue last night. And this is just a long list of This is a long list of issues because we’ve had a number of races. It’s not isolated to blue states, and it’s not just like a couple of one-offs either. It is a problem that’s been building, and half of it, yes, some of it has to do with turnout. But, you know, Jeebus, come on, people. Do we have to sit here and baby people? I just feel like if grown-ass adults can’t get their lazy asses to the ballot box and vote on the damn election day, then you deserve the government you get. I’m sick and tired of trying to cajole people into caring more about the Republic than the people who don’t even live in the area they live in. And if I sound mad, it’s because I am. Because I’m tired of it. We have people who participate in welfare activism. They’re welfare addicts. They want to go out and have everybody else go and do all of the work for them. In every county in the country, I bet you can find a small group of people that do all of the heavy lifting. They do all the door-to-door stuff. They do all the canvassing. They do everything. And you’re not supposed to say this stuff because voters’ feelings get hurt. Well, I’m not seeking anybody’s vote, so I don’t give a rat’s backside. It’s just ridiculous, and it’s got to stop. I mean, it really does. So we’re going to dive into some of this as well. and get into some of the latest with what those numbers look like. And then kind of what the trend is as well for the rest of the nation. Because I’m telling you, there also was no outreach last night. And a lot of people think, well, it’s just Miami. Well, it was significant because you had a Republican there. It’s an area that Trump won. And it goes to show you that We’re not winning anything if Trump isn’t on the ballot. And Republicans have gotten super lazy. Super lazy. I am so livid with the Republican Party right now. They’re do nothing in every state. They’re in Kansas. What are you guys doing in Kansas, Republicans? What is the Republican Party of Kansas doing? You guys lost some school board races up there. What are you guys doing? What are some of these Republicans doing? It’s so incredibly frustrating. I have a friend who lives in Miami. And the only reason that he even knew about some of the stuff with the races is because he’s just super tuned in. He’s just super tuned in is why. And that’s why he was able to kind of follow along. And that’s why he knew some of this stuff. But, you know, by and large, they had no ad buys. They had they had no canvassing. There was no phone banking. Where were they doing? Oh, everybody was getting drunk off their backsides in D.C., This is another thing I hate about Republicans. And yes, I hate the Uniparty. It’s a Uniparty. That’s why I don’t like any of them. It’s a Uniparty. Why in the world do people want me to come to your states and fundraise for you? I will never understand because you’re in for a shock, those of you who asked. Just gird your loins at your little dinners, okay? Because what do you guys do? You’re supposed to show up and cover them with adoration and compliments. For doing what? Nothing. Not a damn thing. Have you guys had Obamacare repealed? No. Do you guys still have insane property taxes in your state? Do you guys, for those of you who have their income taxes determined by individual counties and things like that, have you guys found any relief with any of that? No. No. I don’t think you guys have found any. No, you haven’t. You haven’t. You haven’t found any of it. In Texas, we always go on and on about getting rid of the property tax. But, you know, that’s just that’s determined locally. And guess who’s in charge of everything locally? Who’s in charge? Who’s in charge of Tarrant County, Kane? Well, no, Republicans. Republicans are in charge of Tarrant County. And they get really mad when you say stuff like this. They get really mad when you bring it up. I don’t care. Get mad. I get hate mail from some people in some of these Republican parties. They get mad. Like, Dana, you shouldn’t say, yes, I can. I’ve been doing this longer than you’ve been. So, yeah, I get aggravated about it. And so, you know, I look at this. I’m mad about this stuff. A couple of things, though, I want to set straight about Miami. Let’s just set something straight about Miami right now. So, one of the things that people were saying is that it hasn’t been, like, what did they say? It was something like it’s… flipped for… It’s been Republican for like 30 years or something. I don’t know where some of the… You got to be careful with some of the people that you get your information from. Because… So you had… I have heard they had 30 straight years of Republican mayors. That’s an absolute… Who’s saying this stuff? Someone who doesn’t live in Florida. Manny Diaz was throughout the aughts. He was the mayor. And he was an independent. He was a Democrat, but he was more of a moderate Democrat, if that still exists anymore. He was a Democrat. He went on to chair… The Democrat Party in Florida. And then the races they. So the 30 year streak is just a lie. But it was a bad night and it was a bad night for Republicans last night in Miami. Remember how everybody was so excited because it flipped and it went from red to blue or blue to red. And it was very popular that I mean, the Palm Beach County and Miami-Dade, they went red. They went blue to red in the last election. And now the mayoral race. A lot of it is there’s a number of things that go into it. First off, Democrats ran. an actual good candidate. They didn’t run an AOC type idiot. They were out there in the streets. They phone bank. They’ve been doing this in all of the races in Georgia, in all of the races where Republicans were competitive. This is what Democrats have been doing. They’ve been running actual races. They’ve been doing all of this stuff. And so Democrats in Florida were really smart. Can’t say that about Democrats in other states in the union or even the national party, but they were smart in Florida. And they went out there, they mobilized, they got their people out. Do you realize that you had less than 20% of Republican voters that went out and voted last night in that race? So I don’t feel bad for anybody. I’ve told people when I’ve had people that come up to me and complain, I go, how did you vote in your local and municipal? I literally will walk away from you mid conversation. You can go to straight to hell. I will have nothing. Don’t sit here and complain to me when you can’t even get off your lazy keister and go vote. And some of these voters, honestly, I get it that everybody’s used to the left babying everybody about their gender and everything else. But we ain’t doing that here. If people can’t stand the accountability of not voting and not showing up, if they can’t stand it, then maybe America is not for them. That’s one of the most un-American things you can do is not go vote. And if you’re a Republican, I spit on you. If you don’t go and vote and you’re somebody who votes Republican and you just don’t show up, I don’t care about your excuses. I’ve heard every damn excuse possible. I’m going to tell you something. When we went to early vote, we met a woman. who was going to vote. This was, I can’t remember when, this was a municipal election. Her husband is a Vietnam veteran, had a leg amputated. And this man is like pretty much housebound, can’t even get out. And he makes sure that he votes every election. If this old Vietnam veteran with one leg can get out there and vote, by God, you can too. So I don’t want to hear any excuses. And these Republicans are too scared of you to tell you to wake the blank up. So I will. I don’t care if Trump’s not on the ballot. Get over it. It’s un-American to not show up just because your favorite candidate isn’t on the ballot. You got to work with the cards you have. I don’t care if it can’t think I’m being mean. I don’t care. People can step off. I’m so tired of this. I get so many complaints from people and I can’t tell you the number of people who tell me that they don’t vote in these local elections because it’s not national. Spare me. So I get really I get mad about it. And I and you ought to get mad about it because those of you who get out there and you pay attention and you go and vote. This is what you’re given. How is that fair? I mean, it’s not. I mean, it’s not fair. It’s not fair at all. Not fair to you. It’s not fair to other people in the country. So it’s frustrating. We’re going to talk more about that because there’s other there’s other elections as well. And people keep saying, oh, well, this is leading up. It’s a it’s a Democrat narrative warning people about midterms. No, it’s not. And if you want to lose, go ahead and listen to the people who keep telling you there’s nothing to worry about. If you want to lose, you go ahead and you listen to those clueless people who have never moved the needle in their lives. You go ahead and listen to them. I want to win. I want to win so bad that on election day, when my political enemies, when they walk away from the ballot box, they collapse in the street before they make it to their car because they’re so overcome with grief at losing and not just losing, but losing so badly that their grandchildren feel the loss. And they’re scared of becoming loser Democrats like the people, the adults in their lives who voted. I don’t care if that’s harsh. That’s winning. It’s what it takes. You got to turn out. End of. I don’t know how, you know, how many times you got to say it. Folks who won’t make the program possible. It’s Caltech. They have a peacekeepers program. that it supports the people who protect our communities, military, law enforcement, church security teams, school resource officers. These are the faith-based teams and SROs usually have small concealable pistols that have limited range and power. Kel-Tec’s long guns can help solve that problem. They fold compact for discrete carry and deploy in seconds with full rifle capability. They get mission-ready support if you’re a participant in the Peacekeepers Program. extra platform testing, armor training, all of that. And you get a special pricing for budget-conscious organizations. It’s an active program already. They’ve equipped over a couple of dozen churches throughout the Faith-Based Security Network and a number of schools. And Caltech is partnering with the Faith-Based Security Network, giving members access to peer training, security insights, and mission-ready tools tailored to faith environments. You can learn more about this Peacekeepers program by going to the Caltech website at caltechweapons.org. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five. Can I just say the song that we came in with, you can’t listen to it if you’re online because we don’t have the licensing for that. But terrestrially, it’s Stealer’s Wheel, Stuck in the Middle with You. It’s one of my favorite songs because it’s one of my favorite scenes in all of cinema from Reservoir Dogs. And I mean, I just feel that scene so much sometimes. And I got, it’s so amazing. I just see it and I get warm fuzzies and I’m like, what? It’s an amazing scene. All right. So, well, I’m going to die. Less than seven hours of sleep is linked to shorter life expectancy across America. We’re all going to die. Well, those of us who I the people who are like, I slept nine hours. You’re a Martian. Sleeping fewer than seven hours per night is linked to a shorter life expectancy across all. Wait, you don’t believe it.
SPEAKER 03 :
I’m a victim.
SPEAKER 02 :
You’re a victim. I’m actually surprised by you. Because I just, I don’t know, I thought you would be one of the people who’s like, I got my eight hours.
SPEAKER 03 :
No, I don’t get eight hours. Oh my God, I dream about eight hours.
SPEAKER 02 :
I don’t think I could sleep for eight hours if I wanted to. I don’t think I can sleep past seven. I think it’s a thing. They said sleeping fewer than seven hours per night is linked to shorter life expectancy. Sleep insufficiency ranked as the second strongest predictor of reduced life expectancy. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And there you go. We’re all going to die. Well, no, I mean, it’s, do you just know that you, I think that people need different amounts of sleep. Different people need different amounts of sleep. Trump doesn’t sleep more than five hours a night because he’s also a Martian. And I, the people who sleep more than eight hours, I don’t understand you people. You guys are like, you know, hibernating bears. I don’t, I don’t get that. I got to hit like six, seven, maybe. Oh my gosh. Did I just do that on? All right, we’re done. Cut the camera. We are so done. How did that even happen? I swear to you that… Okay. Let’s just move on here. Police are swapping suspect sketches for AI. I feel like this is going to go poorly. You think? They started it in Arizona, and they said the AI image, like, for instance, they had one image out, and it said this AI image is based on victim witness statements, doesn’t depict a real person. See, I feel like you need it to depict a real person, though.
SPEAKER 03 :
How is it? I mean, it’s no less of a sketch. It’s actually probably a better way to do it.
SPEAKER 02 :
I don’t know. I don’t know how I feel about that. Centuries-old payment method could disappear just weeks after pennies are retired. What? They said it hurts the old people. The checking services could be winding down. I haven’t used it. I haven’t written a check. Everything’s auto. I have not. And then I go check it every month. I have not written a check in forever. What do you mean?
SPEAKER 03 :
They want you to go digital with everything.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah, but I obsess over everything.
SPEAKER 03 :
See, they’re getting rid of checks. I don’t like it.
SPEAKER 02 :
I’m like Mick Jagger with my finances like that. I just, I want to know everything. You know what I mean?
SPEAKER 03 :
So now everything has to be like a promissory note? You want to just promise to pay somebody money? No.
SPEAKER 02 :
Do you like the checks? I don’t like carrying a big bag.
SPEAKER 03 :
You got to carry it in your bag.
SPEAKER 02 :
Well, I know that the grandparents are going to be upset over this one. I mean, in our family, probably your family too. Senate Democrats have introduced a bill to block Trump from putting his face on the dollar coin. Is that a thing they need to be worrying about right now? I mean, I don’t know if you guys have seen some of the stuff that’s been happening in this nation lately, but I don’t know. It feels like something else. Oh, oh. Archaeologists found a cube-shaped human skull in Mexico. Now, it’s probably… You know what I think about this stuff? I get Monty Python about it. Like, what if somebody wrapped their head with, you know… cotton or something to make it shape like that because they thought it was attractive. And then here we are all these years later. Oh, it’s a new brand of person. They’re trying to figure it out at Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History. It’s a middle-aged dude. So they think that he actually molded his skull that way. So thank heavens for some brains there. We got more in store. Stay with us. As we head into the holidays, it’s not just about gifts.

SPEAKER 02 :
Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. I’m sure I’m going to get some hate mail because I was really mad at the GOP because of the Miami stuff yesterday.
SPEAKER 1 :
21%.
SPEAKER 02 :
21%, dudes. That’s insane. That is insane. There are more people who go to like roller skate in today’s world than have been going out to vote for these local and municipal elections. It’s crazy. And I’m worried because you know what? The reason I get so upset with why the turnout is the way it is when Trump isn’t on the ballot is because, dear heavens, what if we get stuck? Now, just hear me out. I’m using this as an example. What if you don’t have turnout, like in an important race, like, oh, I don’t know, say Senate race, and you end up getting us stuck with Jasmine Crockett? Can you imagine? That could happen. I know you guys are like, Dana, that could never happen. I’m telling y’all, I have seen, I have done over the years, I don’t even know. I’ve been to every state in the union. I can’t even remember how many fundraisers I’ve done for candidates. And I’m not one of those grifters like a lot of the con inc podcasters that you see where I charge to go out and all these different politicians are for issues. And I, I mean, I just, I want to win. That’s, you know, what I want, want to do. And I want people to be empowered in their own community. So I don’t have to go back out there. It sounds mean, but you know, it’s true. There’s only so much you can do, but I can’t tell you how many different areas that I’ve been. And I first started seeing this back in 2009 in person. Anyway, When I was going out and we were helping different grassroots groups fight back against Obamacare. And a lot of the Democrat candidates that were running for like state legislature or that were running for just like different, smaller, more localized races or those even who wanted to go for Congress, etc. If it was an off year, it was like beating your head against a brick wall trying to get people to care about it. I was at an event once with John Stossel. And so I’m kind of brought in as like the closer and talking to these people. And it was a beautiful Saturday. And I flew with one of my kids. Beautiful Saturday. And we were in… the East coast. And I’m trying to remember what state we were on. We were in, it was on the East coast. Anyway, it’s not the point. The point is that I asked people, I said, well, how many people, because they came out for this meet and greet and all this stuff and a rally, everybody loves coming out to rallies. And I’m like, okay, so how many of you are going to stay and do like phone banking and things like that after? Cause that was kind of the purpose of having this event. Like how many of you are going to come out? How many of you are going to phone bank and two hands, right? There were like 400 people there. Not even kidding you. And it shocked me. And I just stopped where I was. And I literally almost dropped the microphone. It slid my hand. And I was shocked. And I lost it. I went from real nice to lost it. And I’m like, I, you know, I told people, I said, I’m going to, you know, I came here. I’m not being paid to be here. I’m not making money being here right now. I took a Saturday away from my family, brought my son with me, spent a week, a weekend day. I work away from my family, come into your state where I can’t even vote to help you. And then I just like, like went into, you know, a story about the greatest generation and all this. By the end of though, I did my job and there were probably, there were a lot more, not the whole room, which should have not even half the room, but there were a whole lot more people that raised their hand and they stayed and they helped out. But I was just, I could, I was shocked. And even here in the County that I live in super red County, the same people that it’s the same people all the time that do all of the heavy lifting, all of the advocacy. They watch all the deadlines. And it gets hard. And it builds a lot of resentment. If you can’t do it, then you encourage the people who are doing it. If you can’t do it yourself, then you be there and you encourage the people who are doing it. Like maybe they’re phone banking for a candidate or an issue. Maybe you could send them pizza or bring them coffee or do something. Even if you just stop by and say, I appreciate what you’re doing because they’re doing it for you. And this is where I get the welfare activism from. They’re doing it for you. Encourage them. If you can’t do it, then you be their strength when theirs is depleted. That is the least you can do. Because it will come to a point where you are looking down the political barrel of socialism or freedom. And it’s happened in a number of states. Look at Manhattan. I have Republican friends that live in Manhattan. One of them works in finance. Gave up like five years ago, six years ago in trying to do any kind of activism in New York, not just because they’re outnumbered, but because people are apathetic and they’re like, oh, well, it’s just not going to work anyway. I if you can’t do it, please. I can’t tell you how much that means to people. There were times when we would be phone banking and it’s like nine o’clock at night and I’m trying to finish my list so I can get home and see my kids and do all of this. And the people that would come in and they’d bring like donuts or coffee or something. They’re like, we just got off work ourselves and we just wanted to say thank you so much. That means a lot. It means a lot to these people. So please do that. If you can’t do it, but you should, you should at least try to do it once in your life. The biggest problem that Republicans have going into midterms is Republicans. It’s not Democrats. It’s not people like Jasmine Crockett. It’s Republicans. 21% voter turnout. That’s some of these races and school board races in Wichita. That was one of the problems, too. I heard from people. that wrote me and said that they had a turnout problem there too. Same thing in some of these other races. It’s a real thing. And then you got, where’s Joe Grutter? Is that guy, the Florida guy? He just got reelected as party chair. The hell is he doing? He’s the RNC party chair. Where’s the RNC? This is the time that, and I’m sorry I’m spending so much time on this, but this has really been at the forefront of my mind. Where is the RNC organization in this? There’s I’ve seen good organization. You know, after Romney screwed the pooch in 2012 and it was disastrous. I don’t think you guys remember that they had to get out the vote app that was supposed to get people, you know, find people who haven’t registered or who haven’t voted, et cetera, and get, you know, all this stuff. And they didn’t test it until the election day and it failed horribly. After that, they got new leadership and they were really trying to restructure. And then they were really active and very organized to the point where it was annoying. I want to be annoyed by how overactive the party is. I want to be so annoyed at all of it. And I don’t want texts from different candidates begging for money. I want RNC updates. I want updates, GOP updates in my area. I just don’t want people making up stupid stories and asking for money. But where’s the RNC in this? Joe Gruters posts all these damn photos of himself at the White House in places of government, which seems a little anti-founder, by the way. I don’t think our founders would be rushing to go take selfies at different places in government, but whatever. But he’s all over taking photos of himself doing this stuff. I see them all getting drunk at their little cocktail parties in D.C., all with their red noses and everything. Ho, ho, ho. I see all that, but I don’t see any action. All the people that I know that live in Florida, for instance, like I said, they were saying we didn’t see any get out the boat stuff. And I’ve been hearing this from people in Jersey, in Kansas, in Georgia, in Tennessee, in Texas. We got a problem. I want to win. So I need it to get corrected now. Because we can’t be doing this coming up on midterms. Can you imagine? Think about this. Audio soundbite eight. This is Jasmine Crockett. Now, I want you to listen to this messaging. Listen to this messaging. Let’s cut eight.
SPEAKER 06 :
How you make voters who previously voted for Trump, particularly given that you have been an outspoken critic and he has inserted himself. Just take your campaign video as is. He has inserted himself at every turn when it comes to your commentary. How will you convert those who are supportive of him to voters for you?
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, I don’t know that we’ll necessarily convert all of Trump supporters. That’s not our goal. Do you need to? Our goal is to definitely talk to people. No, we don’t. We don’t need to.
SPEAKER 02 :
You know, I was looking at this. Democrats have lost not a quarter of their base, but just about. So many people have left that party. And if they haven’t registered as Republicans, then they’ve been independents. You actually do need them. Unless you live in a weirdly drawn district that’s drawn in such a way to favor your party, you have to have them. But did you hear what she said? The Democrats don’t care about convincing you because they don’t care about you. They don’t care about the issues. They care about power. They don’t care about putting a win on the board. They just care about power. They don’t care if they have to debase themselves. Guys, that is the most dangerous type of ambition I can think of. You will debase yourself. Just to be adjacent to power. You will debase yourself and stab your loyal base in the back just to be able to pull the levers. What she’s saying there in that interview is that she doesn’t care about messaging. She doesn’t want to convince you on any kind of issue. I mean, like she could. But even if, she doesn’t care about that because she doesn’t need you. She’s not running to represent you. She’s not running to even hear you. She’s not running to address you. She didn’t need you. Democrats don’t need you. That should be a campaign ad for the RNC. Why are they not cutting this? Why are there not ads about the Somali diaspora in Minnesota bilking taxpayers of all this money? Why aren’t there ads all over? I see a million ads. Look. I know I’ve said this before. I don’t care if Kristi Noem literally wears stilettos and leather leggings. I don’t care, just so long as the border’s closed. But I see a million videos of Kristi Noem with her right here. It’s like a South Park skit, but in real life. And she’s like, well, you know, and we’ve done all this. They can put those videos out. What the hell are all these videos? Where’s the rest of it? Why am I not being pummeled with ads on Facebook and X and Instagram? The only people that are doing it are ICE and DHS. That’s literally the only agency doing this. I don’t see any political part. I don’t see any of that. Can I play one more cut? This is cut 10. This is crack it still. Also a little nugget in this. Listen.
SPEAKER 05 :
Let me tell you something. Mondami has not backed down whatsoever from his rhetoric against the president in the Oval Office. He stood at he stood there and he said what he said about him being a fascist. Yet he was able to win those voters. So Democrats, they believe the only way that you can win is by being soft and sounding like a Republican. That is not true. What people are looking for are people that are tough and are fighters and are going to fight for them.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah, that’s what I want her to go with. New York is like not the rest of the nation. Cana’s over there. You’re like talking to a ghost.
SPEAKER 03 :
You’re just… Is it tough to call somebody a fascist without any proof of fascism?
SPEAKER 02 :
I don’t think she knows what tough means, but… I don’t think she has any idea what that means, but I digress. I don’t think she has any idea. I mean, that’s not tough. It’s… Yeah. It’s… pretty amazing but what she’s saying there is is that she wants to be more like that she thinks that they need to be more in your face and more aggressive and more and nastier etc that’s what she’s arguing it has not worked for them just have better ideas no no no you can’t do that you can’t have better ideas she didn’t have better ideas and they know that so they just want to be nasty I want them to keep doing this. But she thinks that that’s what it takes for Democrats to win. I mean, obviously, it doesn’t. If you’ve seen some of these races, New York is just it’s an outlier. It’s not like it’s not the blueprint. But I want her I want them to think that it’s the blueprint. I want them to think that New York is the way to do it. You run that play in Texas and you see what happens. So I think we should let her cook. and encourage her and be nasty because it’s also more content for me. So I’m okay with that. Stick with us because we have a ton more stuff coming up. Let me just, I got aliens. Do you think Trump’s going to make an alien announcement? There’s a lot of a whispering with the whistleblowers guys. I’m just saying, just going to throw that out there. And also there’s a weird story that happened in Dearborn, Michigan, where a Muslim businessman, uh, bought the town, well, he and this tree farm bought the town a Christmas tree since they had some problems and they weren’t going to have a tree lighting ceremony. We got to talk about this. The folks who helped make the program possible. It’s the people over at Preborn. It’s a great organization. that meets women where they are, women facing unplanned pregnancies. They don’t have to do it alone and they don’t have to feel unempowered. Preborn Ministries, which is a private funded Christian organization, they do more than all of these government NGOs that claim to help people and just take your tax dollars. Preborn since 2007. I mean, they’re getting up to a half a million babies that have been saved and thousands more still need a chance to live every day. So they start with a free ultrasound. And there are numerous studies that show when a woman hears her baby’s heartbeat for the first time, that baby’s chance at life doubles. And so $28 is the cost of one ultrasound that they give to these women for free. It’s the cost of a dinner out. It is the best $28 you will ever spend. And it saves lives. But they don’t just stop there. They do so much more. They continue walking with these women for up to two years. They provide counseling. diapers, maternity clothes, so much more. And as year-end giving season approaches, there’s no greater investment than the gift of life. Your gift can make a real lasting difference. So join us in supporting Preborn. This Christmas, for just $28, you can help save a life, a life that could change the world. And thanks to a special matching grant, your gift is doubled.

SPEAKER 12 :
Like sands through the hourglass. So are the days of the United States.
SPEAKER 10 :
So the windows are causing a traffic jam.
SPEAKER 02 :
Oh, wow. These are all the driverless cars.
SPEAKER 08 :
I don’t know. I just pulled out of the garage and I saw this going on. It’s like Waymo standoff.
SPEAKER 02 :
They all do that. It’s a Waymo standoff. They’re all facing each other in four different positions. Did two of them collide? It looks like two of them almost collided. Almost. So you have Waymos that are facing off. Two of them are bumper to bumper. And they had to call. We’ve had a Waymo run over a dog. We had a Waymo take a dude on a wild ride and lock the door and would let him out. I would not get into a Waymo. There is no way in the world I would get into a Waymo. Ever. I am not getting into a dog. Uh-uh. No. Not happening. A, I like to drive. I don’t like to be a passenger at all. I hate being a passenger. And being driven, I can’t. I don’t like it. Would you get in the way, Mocaine? No.
SPEAKER 03 :
I don’t think so. I mean, I’d try it with somebody else if they’re with me, maybe.
SPEAKER 02 :
How does that help traffic when they cause traffic?
SPEAKER 03 :
It doesn’t.
SPEAKER 02 :
We have another video, which I think we’re running out of time, but we’ll get to, of, what is it, a DoorDash driver? Yeah. A DoorDash driver who put pepper spray on food that she delivered. So it’s like… What if a Waymo delivered your food? Would you trust the way? I don’t trust any of this anymore. Stick with the second hour coming up. It is the folks over at Burn a Gun. I’m always going to carry and I’m always I have zero, zero issue. FAFO using lethal force if someone decides to get froggy with me or members of my family. But I also know, you know, maybe you’re a college kid and you’re under 21 and you live in a college town and you want to make sure that you’re protected. uh and you can’t carry or you know maybe you have to go to a place for work or whatever and you know private property restrictions or municipal restrictions you can’t carry so what do you do this is why i talk about diversity with your weapons array uh burna is a and well it’s a device that shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away And there’s different projectiles that can use it’s highly effective. And here’s the thing, no permits, no background checks, no waiting periods, no fees, you just buy it and they send it right to your door. And it’s made right here in the US of A.

SPEAKER 07 :
It was masterfully written, and she’s right. And this is something that I’ve been speaking out against for quite some time now. It is extremely frustrating as a rank-and-file Republican member, and in our majority, our Republican majority, that many of us women are not taken seriously, and our legislation is not taken seriously.
SPEAKER 02 :
I don’t believe that at all. I think that’s an excuse because she fell on her face. And I don’t really care to get involved in the Trump versus Marjorie Taylor Greene fight. I think that when you politic a certain way and you… I think some people mistake… opportunistic people as being people who believe in fealty and i think that that’s kind of what’s with green um you know you when scorpion stings you are you surprised welcome back to the program top of the second hour chats at rumble uh channel 3 47 uh direct tv thank you uh but actually youtube’s the best place to watch us it’s the best place to watch us now we got a lot of stuff coming up in the first of the year a lot we’ll talk more about that later but anyway So I think that’s lame and dumb. That’s gay and lame, what she just said. I don’t feel that. And also, I have never been in a situation, and I don’t like to go to DC, as you guys know, famously, because I don’t like, I’m not good at small talk. I’m not saying this as like a flex. As Kane knows, I’m embarrassingly bad at small talk. It’s horrible. It’s so bad. And you know it. You’ve seen it. You’re pretty good. No, I’m not. I can’t stand the whole cocktail circuit. No. I just don’t. I don’t do that. I don’t do that whole power adjacency like green does and all that. And I think in all of the situations that I’ve been in, I have never once felt uncomfortable or felt as though I was being treated in a sexist manner. And anytime it even got near that point, I’m the type of person that I love a challenge and I will flip it right back on you. So I’ve never had an issue with that ever in my life. Um, I just don’t. I mean, I think that speaks to her weakness. and not to the weaknesses of other female Republican women in DC. I know some female Republican lawmakers who don’t roll that way and they don’t have any issue at all. They’re on committees, they’re doing this stuff. She’s mad because she wanted to run for Senate and the numbers were abysmal for her. I don’t know why she just didn’t stay in her house seat. Like what’s so bad? Like build up seniority. What is so bad about you staying in your house seat? The story goes, and my sources were telling me this is 100% correct. The story goes that she wanted to run for Senate and they weren’t allowing that or the polling wasn’t allowing that. The numbers, the internals did not support that. It showed that she was not going to be a formidable candidate and she was trying to get Trump out. to kind of help change that, I guess. She thought that he could just go and tell people to like her more and then that was going to solve the issue. And he looked at the numbers and got back to her and was like, you just need to stay where you are. This isn’t going to work out. And then, you know, she was apoplectic and all hell broke loose. That’s what this is. She’s a spurned woman. And she’s been going everywhere to bitch and moan. I’m tired of hearing Marjorie Taylor Greene bitch and moan. If she felt so strongly about all of these issues, then why didn’t she do more during her time in Congress? Why weren’t there more bills that she pushed forward? I mean, she made sure to get on camera and fight with everybody. I think that this is also part of when you try to turn politics into entertainment. You get clowns. So I don’t really have a dog in this fight. I don’t dislike her, but I’m not like a major fan. I just, you know, I’m not a major fan of most lawmakers. There’s some that I like more than others, and that’s about it. I think it’s an abuse of the word to say fan. But she’s not helping anybody. Is she trying to audition for The View? That’s the only other thing I can think of. Is she trying to get on The View? Because that’s not going to go over well. They’ll never hire her. Let’s switch it up. CARE Florida, Council for American Islamic Relations. So they got mad and held a press conference to denounce Ron DeSantis for labeling them a foreign terrorist organization, which they are. This is cut 27. Listen.
SPEAKER 01 :
The National Lawyers Guild condemns Florida’s unlawful and discriminatory designation of CARE as a terrorist organization. This designation is without legal or factual basis and constitutes a dangerous escalation of anti-Muslim political rhetoric weaponized to suppress constitutionally protected advocacy and civil rights work.
SPEAKER 02 :
Well, it’s not discriminatory if it’s true. And that’s not discriminatory. That’s just observing something. I mean, there were unindicted co-conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation trial and where that was about sending money to terrorists. Basically, they had a number of convictions. That was this case where they were funneling. You had a you had a major Muslim charity funneling millions of dollars to Hamas, millions upon millions upon millions of dollars to Hamas. And there were tons of people that were convicted in this. And you had care that was involved in it. And it was with the Muslim Brotherhood. It was with care, all of these. And it was this was like you had two trials and it lasted for a number of years and they were involved in this. They have really complicated, purposefully so, connections to Hezbollah, Hamas, you know, things like that. They’re Islamists. And they were, by the way, they were involved in the 07 trial since there were two. And that was, by the way, the largest U.S. terrorism funding case. And they were the Holy Land Foundation, and that’s the charity that was funneling all of this money to Hamas. They were convicted of it. CARE, they were involved, and they tried to say that because they weren’t convicted and weren’t charged, that they’re squeaky clean. Well, we all know that that’s not necessarily the case. but they are Islamists and they’re upset that they’re being targeted. They’re not being targeted. They target other people. This is the reaction to that. That’s like saying, oh my gosh, the Muslims were targeted by the crusaders. How many centuries had passed? Before the crusaders finally reacted. I just roll my eyes whenever I hear that. It’s like Hamas saying that it’s being attacked. How many years were you attacking everybody else before someone finally responded? How many times did you violate a ceasefire before someone finally responded? So they had this press conference to denounce DeSantis for this. and he seems to be pretty jolly about it. He wants to go into discovery. I don’t think that they’re prepared for that. You know what that means, right? Discovery, everybody knows what that means. That means they’re going to be discovering all kinds of stuff, and emails, and all their records, anything written. Don’t destroy anything, kids. Financial. Yep, it’s all going to be poured over. Don’t destroy anything. You’re on notice. Just saying. But One of the ways to get power is to pretend that you’re the victim and get sympathy and then use that as power and penalize everybody else for seeming like the bullies. That’s been happening in city after city after city all across the United States. Which brings me to this, because I shared this in Slack, didn’t I? I put this in Slack the other day, or last night, I think. This was in Dearborn. pulling up my notes now. So Dearborn Heights, they were having trouble getting a Christmas tree for their annual Christmas tree lighting. And they had this, both a Michigan farm and a businessman decided to partner together And they got this $10,000 40-foot Norway spruce. Can I just interject here real quick? It’s Michigan, right? Can you spend some time in Michigan? They got trees up there, don’t they? Okay, can you tell me why somebody couldn’t just, you know, Clark Griswold it out to the woods and go and get you a tree and put it on top of the family rambler?
SPEAKER 03 :
I think they wanted an especially tall breed of tree. And I think that’s why they went with the Norway.
SPEAKER 02 :
This thing is 40 foot tall. And the guy, so it was Huff Farms and then Sam Hussein. owner of j and t crova and they donated it and apparently they covered the cost of the tree and made sure it was delivered installed in time for the holiday season but we are calling it a christmas tree right because my first thought was well that’s a pagan symbol i mean i have a tree don’t get me wrong but i’m like that’s a pagan symbol but if you’re calling it a christmas tree it’s not like people got a nativity i don’t know how to feel about this Because half of me wants to go, okay, well, that’s a good gesture. And, you know, the Christian part of me that I’m trying to listen to more seems to say, if I’m quiet enough, well, it’s good. You need to acknowledge things that are done well. But then the other half of me is like, I became an adult shortly before 9-11. And 9-11 changed everybody’s worldview. And from then, we have seen a lot of bad stuff happen. And we’re seeing bad things happen in Minnesota. We’re seeing bad things. I mean, we have the care story that I was just talking about. We see the stuff that’s been happening over in the UK and the Christmas markets and France and in Germany and in Austria and in Italy and all of this stuff. And I’m just… I don’t have a word for it. I don’t want to say suspicious because it doesn’t fully… mean what i feel does it make sense because i is this a okay let me just say is this a trojan horse let me just say it well i mean if what’s supposed to be inside the trojan horse is you to feel fuzzy and warm about islam then yeah oh i’m not feeling fuzzy and warm about islam i mean it was nice that this tree was donated but but for what why
SPEAKER 03 :
I think it was designed so that people would look at this during the holiday season as some sort of genuine gesture when it could be placating to Christians.
SPEAKER 02 :
What does the chat think about this one? Like, is this a… Is it like that’s a good gesture or because a lot of people are like, well, Takiyah, Takiyah, I don’t know, which means it’s okay to lie and do bad things in pursuit of the overall good for Islam.
SPEAKER 03 :
The deception is acceptable as long as it’s good for Islam, which it could be that. I’m not saying that it is, but that is a possibility, clearly.
SPEAKER 02 :
I really just want to see good deeds and be able to go, that’s a good deed, and I’m glad for it.
SPEAKER 03 :
I miss those days. I miss those days.
SPEAKER 02 :
But I can’t trust anything. And Islamism has been so rampant in its spread that it’s hard to trust anything. And that’s not a condition we created. That’s a condition that Islamism created. So let’s immediately before we even go further in that discussion, acknowledge where that schism came from. So I don’t I don’t know. It’s weird. I don’t know how I feel about this. So I’m I’m curious. The chat’s going to chat about it while we we have headlines and we got a hat tip our sponsors as well. Think about this. And how do you feel about it? I really again, I really want to say that’s a good gesture and I’m glad and I want to see more of it. But at the same time, I’m also like, is this supposed to change hearts and minds towards democracy? Islam is, I don’t know. How weird is it that we have to sit here and evaluate everything by these standards and measures now? Again, we did not create this system, by the way. I just want to make that perfectly clear. The people who did that to us did. All right, we got more in store. We got to get going. The folks who will bring you the program, it’s the folks over at Ammo Squared. It’s a great way. I’m not supposed to say stockpile because you have a bunch of sensitive pansies out there who get super upset when you think they’re in power. It’s a way to collect and curate your ammo, right?

SPEAKER 03 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 02 :
What is this? So apparently Zach Brown’s making people mad because he performed in the Vegas sphere. And people are saying that some of the projections on the screen were satanic. It was a skeleton that had a crown. I mean, that’s all it was. I mean, I didn’t think it was satanic. It’s just a skull, right? Did you think it was, Cain?
SPEAKER 03 :
I wasn’t there.
SPEAKER 02 :
I mean, but you’ve seen the images.
SPEAKER 03 :
I did see the images. And I guess, I mean, you could interpret them that way if you’re, I guess, whoever’s talking to the reporter in this story.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah, I’m like, how is, a skull by itself is not satanic. It’s just not. Stop. I don’t, I don’t know why, and I didn’t see the whole show. I mean, if he came out and was like, the devil is good, the devil is your pal, then yeah, that’s a problem. You know, I gotta, that’s, that’s, yes.
SPEAKER 03 :
I don’t like the hook on that one.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah, that one’s not as good. That’s, yeah, doubles your pal. That’s not a great chorus. Let’s see. Silver and copper eclipse gold as top metals bets on supply fears. Well, yeah. Silver’s exploded. It’s exploded, Kane. True. And it’s replaced gold as the hot metal trade heading into 2026. It’s nearly doubled this year. So make sure you go to noblegold.com slash Dana. And most of the gains occurred noblegold.com slash Dana in the past two months due to a historic supply squeeze in a benchmark London market. There’s a surging demand from India and others. So interesting. Also, Gen Z is burning out at work more than any other generation and suck it up. I’m not even diving into this. It’s full stop. Suck it up. Work. That’s what it is. You got to work.

I don’t want to burst your bubble, but let’s suck it up a little bit. There are more than a million social media accounts held by users under 16 that are going to be deactivated in Australia.

SPEAKER 02 :
welcome back to the program dana lash with you um i i haven’t um kept track with all of grope gripper inc lately unless it just like comes up into my timeline and i think this is for the people who are super hyper online because the rest of you who are normal people with all of your brain cells you don’t god love you for holding down the same line holding it down like we we need you Protect you at all costs. So I haven’t really been following a lot of the Graper Inc. stuff lately. So I haven’t been able to keep track of who is responsible for killing Charlie Kirk. You know, he’s got a book that has been planned for some time that just came out. And He his wife, I know, is doing the promo tour for it, which can’t be easy. But I’m looking. People have been very helpfully keeping track because, you know, I can I just say I think I and I haven’t been talking a lot about Candace Owens because I just think that it’s griftery trash. I mean, I just I don’t elevate someone who is a protege of Al Sharpton, who as recently as 2016 was literally had founded a website doxing conservatives and going after people. And then when they realized, you know, can make all this money being a Republican, then decided to become a Republican and apply the grift there. And that’s all fact, by the way. That’s all fact. Some of y’all got taken in. I know. But if you’re keeping track, apparently she has accused everybody from the French government, the French Foreign Legion, the 13th Brigade specifically, Israel, Israel operatives, Netanyahu himself. Let’s see, GIGN, Jewish donors, the U.S. government, the feds, the FBI, deep state, CIA, Turning Point USA, his own wife, Erica Kirk, Blake Neff, Pastor Rob McCoy, Josh Hammer, Freemasons, Yahoo, like the website. Okay. The Bolsheviks. Egypt. I mean, the list is lengthy. Oh, wait, that’s right. The latest was the U.S. military. Isn’t that the thing that came out yesterday? She has no clue. She has no clue. I mean, honestly, Candace Owens has made more bank off of Charlie Kirk getting killed than I think anybody else. It looks suspicious, quite honestly. It looks super suspicious. I have never seen anybody try to lift themselves up by using someone else’s corpse more than the gun control stuff. This is like I haven’t even seen gun control advocates stand on dead bodies as much as I’ve seen Candace Owens stand on dead bodies to try to gain advantage for herself and elevate herself as she is on the legacy of Charlie Kirk. And that’s fact. So. The next in the whole Graper establishment, I came across this soundbite and it does it pains me to say this because we were always friendly. I would never consider us like best friends or anything. But I’ve known I did. I used to do election coverage with Tucker before he had his own show at Fox. I remember when he had three million dollars from Foster Freeze, who I who I met knew and he was fantastic. This was back in the day when Daily Caller first was created. Tucker got money from Foster Freeze, created Daily Caller. And then now he has this Tucker Carlson Network, which was founded with muzzle money, which is true. I mean, I’m not just I’m not saying that as a pejorative. It’s just true. I think, you know, if you want to talk about dual loyalties or something like that, you know, I think it’s important when you have millions of dollars that create the company that you run. You know, I think there’s kind of a question as to dual loyalty and something like that, since that’s a favorite topic amongst the Graper establishment. So I saw this video fly past me, fly on my timeline on X. What cut is this? Is this cut $11 million? Yeah, we got it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. $20 million. Thank you. So this is… He’s doing… Is this not when he was speaking in Doha, right? This was like some other forum. And he was asked about… Bill Ackman and people like Barry Weiss, Bill Ackman. And it and you know, Ackman, he’s this hedge fund manager. He’s a billionaire, super smart dude. His wife, I think, by the way, is like friends with Brad Pitt. There was like this rumor. Fun fact. His wife is beautiful. There was this rumor that his wife was like Brad Pitt’s girlfriend for a while. And it’s just she’s like this professor. She’s an art professor. Super pretty. And everyone was like had all these rumors about Brad Pitt and Nary Oxman. And it’s just Bill Ackman’s wife. They’re all friends anyway. So they’re on. Stage and he’s he’s talking about, I guess, the media landscape in this forum. And this is what he had to say.
SPEAKER 08 :
Listen, oppressive like Bill Ackman. Same thing. Bill Ackman’s worth like eight billion dollars or something. It’s fine. I don’t care if Bill Ackman, whatever Bill Ackman does. I know Bill Ackman. He’s kind of dumb. He’s not ever created anything. He’s totally non-creative. How do these people wind up running our biggest institutions? And the reason that’s significant is because if you pay close enough attention and you realize that the people running everything are stupid, Then you think, well, actually, the system is truly rigged on behalf of people who do not deserve these positions at all. It’s not just that I disagree with Barry Weiss or she’s calling me names or I’m calling her names or whatever. It’s like in no fair system and no meritocracy would Barry Weiss rise above secretary. Like, actually, and I mean that. I’ve been in this business since Barry Weiss was breastfeeding, okay? There’s no world in which Barry Weiss rises to the top of a news network except a rigged world.
SPEAKER 02 :
Well, I mean, I guess he just can’t imagine where anybody would rise up to be the top of a news agency without Muslim money. I don’t know. I mean, just, you know, thinking out loud here. I thought that was a very odd thing for him to say. He sounds resentful and bitter. And that’s not a good look for anybody. Barry Weiss was at the New York Times and she was very good at what she did. And she was very I mean, she she’s more of a moderate conservative, but she made them all look like, you know, straight up Bolsheviks over at the New York Times. And she ended up being run out because she was too conservative for the old gray lady. And then she created the free press and then that got purchased. And she’s made some really smart decisions. The stuff that she does gets a lot of traction. People are really sharing their Their articles there. I mean, you can see the traffic online and she didn’t have to go out and get Qatari money or get Iranian money either. Just really quick, fun thing here, if you wanted to look at it, because it’s also incestual. So the a lot of the money that came into creating the Tucker Carlson network was from Omid Omid Malik. who is Pakistani and Iranian. And he created, he has a capital, a firm that’s called 1789 Capital. And I think Don Jr. actually just joined. And it’s part of the Rockbridge Network. He created it along with other people, including Rebecca Mercer, etc. They raised a lot of money. And he’s been behind a lot of the funding for the Tucker Carlson Network. And also, what is it that… Nicotine pouch thing. The Alp thing. But no, it’s like the new thing, and apparently they’re a part of that. Kash Patel apparently co-founded or co-created that with Tucker Carlson, which I think is weird. It’s just all so incestuous. But he got a lot of money from a foreign government. He got a lot of foreign money. In fact, a lot of payments through this… And I’m looking at Axios had a piece on it, but also it’s just open records. You know, I mean, there’s you can go to open secrets and you can run all of the how the money shifts and you can research it all there. For instance, some of the payments for acquiring different things for his company were run through a Qatari state investment entity. It’s the Al Udeid Media Fund. That’s where all of the accusations about Qatari money come from. And I mean, it sounds like it’s part I mean, it almost sounds like it’s part of like a government coordinated media laundering campaign. Honestly, that’s kind of what it sounds like. So I don’t know if any of that’s ever been disclosed publicly or discussed. But I just think that when you have things like that in your financial portfolio, maybe you should tone down your resentment of other people’s success before you start lobbying bombs at them because they’re Jewish. Because let’s be honest, what do Bill Ackman and Barry Wise have in common? They’re Jewish. Right. They’re the quote unquote homiciders in that that Tucker Carlson talks about. Right. Isn’t that what that is? I mean, it seems like the only objection is that they’re Jewish. I don’t know. I feel like if Israel had given him money, then he would be like singing the praises of Israel or something. I don’t know. I just can’t. I can’t explain it. It’s very difficult when you see someone that you thought you at least kind of knew act in a way that is completely contrary to everything that you actually initially assumed about them. I mean, it’s just it’s to say that these that these people are dumb and Bill Ackman is not a dumb guy. He is very, very smart financially. He’s made a lot of really good decisions, some which might have seemed really risky at the time. But he he knew what he was doing. He’s made a lot of really good decisions. And he he’s he identified undervalued assets and he built this, you know, this company. And Barry Weiss did something similar with a media entity. So to sit here and say that they are dumb and then to try to like use your age over it, that she was breastfeeding when he was getting started. Yes. And she didn’t have to take Katari money. I mean, she didn’t have to be in the pocket of a government administration in order to find success. She didn’t have to sell out in order to find success. She didn’t have to turn and start repeating really weird rhetoric in order to try to get a slice of the digital audience pie. It just seems resentful and bitter. And honestly, I think that that sounded silly and emotional. I mean, he sounded like an emotional woman. Well, since she was breastfeeding, I’ve been out here. And she’s further than you. So what does that say? I mean, that’s kind of a self-own, is it not? What happens with people? This is why I hate D.C. Lorraine reminds me, too. Is this what we’re talking about when… So is is is Tucker hating America because he’s criticizing other people, because people who criticize Tucker are accused of hating America? But remember, that only goes one way. He can he can not even criticize. I don’t even think either of those are fair criticisms. To call them criticisms means that I’m accepting that they have some form of logic and I just don’t. It just sounds resentful and over emotional. It seems like he’s violating the rule that he expects everyone to follow when it concerns him, but he doesn’t want to follow it when it concerns everywhere else. There’s no enemies to the right thing. It seems like he’s got a lot of enemies, and they’re all Jewish, at least in his eyes. I find that incredibly sad. I mean, we live in an age where people can create media companies right and left, and they don’t have to necessarily disclose everything. And he’s using his platform to do more to tear down the right than anything I’ve ever seen. I don’t see any of the he hasn’t been talking about any of these elections. Tucker Carlson hasn’t had he’s not hasn’t been talking about any of these special elections. He’s not talking about redistricting. He’s not talking about the lay of the land. He’s having Nazi twinks on his show and he doesn’t have the balls to push back and actually ask serious questions. And all of the people who are just desperate to be in business with him, none of them have the balls or the spines to point this out because they’re terrified, terrified over jeopardizing business relationships. They don’t want to jeopardize their ad network. They don’t want to jeopardize any kind of investment. They don’t want to jeopardize any kind of association, professional association that elevates them in the digital sphere. So they say nothing. And they pretend they don’t see it. They say nothing. But this has done more to cause problems on the right than anything that I’ve seen from the left to date. We’re all agreed that the left is crazy. But now what I see are people. It’s interesting because it’s like right after Cutter gets involved and, you know, Cutter’s been spending a ton of money. We’re not supposed to talk about that. We’re supposed to obsess and have a fetish with Israel and AIPAC, even though they donate a pittance. They spend a pittance on lobbying compared to Cutter. And it’s very easy to find these monetary amounts on this thing called the Internet. But we’re not supposed to talk about that. We’re only supposed to talk about the Jews. And we’re supposed to talk about AIPAC bad. But we’re supposed to celebrate Qatar. Work towards partnerships with Qatar. Have we forgotten history? Have we forgotten the point of all of it? We got a lot more on the way. It is the good people over at Patriot Mobile, the only Christian conservative cell phone service that is out there. Patriot Mobile wants to save you money.

SPEAKER 03 :
It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.
SPEAKER 02 :
All right. So first up, I’ve seen a lot of excuses before, but I’ve never seen one like this. So a man crashes a stolen BMW. And then he says that he had been teleported into it. Volusia County Sheriff’s Office. They said a man left his BMW unlocked in the park, the keys in a closed cup holder, which was stupid, while the man was walking his dog. Why didn’t you take your keys? So dumb. His car was stolen. A few minutes later, it crashed at an intersection. Witnesses got the driver out, and they told deputies the driver, 36-year-old Calvin Johnson, he was speeding over 100 miles per hour. He said that he didn’t steal the car. He teleported into it. It was against his will. He just teleported right into the car. He has been charged with grand theft of a motor vehicle and driving with a suspended license. The footage is pretty. That’s the footage. He said he was telling deputies he was teleported into the vehicle. I don’t think that’s how that works. Wait, you were teleported in the vehicle and then you just started it and drove it off? Right. I mean, you’re missing a key component here, my dude. Right. I mean, it didn’t start by itself. You know, just saying it did not start by itself. So, hmm. Let’s see. A Coral Springs man tried to beat his mother to death with a frying pan over a dementia diagnosis, according to police. This is horrible. Oh, my gosh. They arrested this man. He tried to beat his 82-year-old mother to death. Oh, he tried to smother her as well. Keith Woodward. He wanted to kill her because her early dementia and need for constant assistance. I don’t believe in abortion, but I do for this guy. I believe in a late-stage abortion for this guy. I’m just saying. So he got a frying pan, entered her room, and then began beating her over the head, trying to kill her. A violent struggle ensued, and she apparently tried to smother her. She ultimately escaped, so he’s a big, giant pansy because he couldn’t even beat up an 80-some-year-old lady. I’m just not saying you should, but good grief, right? Right. So he’s held without bond. He can’t have any contact with his mother. He has to undergo a mental health screening. I think he’s just evil, this guy. I mean, I’m not saying that if prison justice were to occur, I would love to donate to the commissary of anybody who might be behind it. I’m not saying that at all. But I’m just saying, you know, fate has a funny way of working things out in the prison system, you know. Let’s see. No, I don’t want to talk about this goodwill one, Cain. Don’t make me do this one. This is so… Of all the places to be nasty…
SPEAKER 03 :
Right. Well, we are running out of time, so lucky you.
SPEAKER 02 :
I mean, and there’s another, a drunk Florida woman who was walking down the street with her liquor in hand and no britches. There’s that story, too. I mean, we got a lot of them. Stick with us. Third hour on the way. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. Top of this third hour. So the late Charlie Kirk has a book that is out. It’s out now this week. And it was already planned. He had already been writing it. And it was already, I think everything was pretty much done except for like the illegal reads and all that stuff. You know, the same old stuff in publishing. And so now it’s out. And his wife… Erica Kirk is promoting the book for him this week. And she was on Fox recently, just a little bit ago, and for the first time addressed those conspiracy theories head on. So it’s the soundbite you’ve been waiting for. Listen.
SPEAKER 10 :
Come after me. Call me names. I don’t care. Call me what you want. Go down that rabbit hole. Whatever. But when you go after my family… My Turning Point USA family, my Charlie Kirk show family, when you go after the people that I love and you’re making hundreds and thousands of dollars every single episode going after the people that I love because somehow they’re in on this. No.
SPEAKER 09 :
You know, I have to say it. I’ve never seen you like this.
SPEAKER 10 :
No, this is righteous anger because this is not okay. It’s not healthy. This is a mind virus. Yes, I believe in our judicial system. I do. We have a hell of a team working on this. Excuse my French. But this is not okay.
SPEAKER 09 :
So you want to put these people back in the box where they’ve been creeping from?
SPEAKER 10 :
I don’t care what box you’re in. But just know that your words are very powerful and we are human. My team are not machines and they’re not robots. They are human. We have more death threats on our team and our side than I have ever seen. I have kidnapping threats. I have, you name it, we have it. And my poor team is exhausted. And every time they bring this back up, what are we supposed to do, relive that trauma all over again? They watched my husband get murdered. I have no idea how I would have reacted if I was there that day. And thank the good Lord that I did not have to see that happen. But my team, they are rocked to the core. So why every single day do they have to be dragged through the mud, analyzed, hyperanalyzed? You know, sit in a corner and cry.
SPEAKER 02 :
I got to tell you, sometimes you see things in life and you wonder, well, what does this mean? Why does this person come from this background? Why does this person like I, you know, if you’re not familiar with Erica Kirk’s story, she’s a pageant girl. And I’m not saying that that’s not a pejorative. I’m just that’s, you know, she was in pageants for a long time. And I think she won a number of really impressive titles there. And when you start young in that industry, that circuit, you develop the habit of always being very put together, always being very ready, especially at the upper levels. You’re always ready. You’re always put together. Remember when people were trying to criticize her for how she dabbed her eyes? That’s literally, that’s a TV thing too. It’s pageant TV. You do that so you don’t mess up your makeup and smear everything. And she already had a business, a Christian business. She did apparel and accessories before she ever met Charlie Kirk. She had a business in New York where it’s hard to create and maintain a business. And she was already successful in her own right. And she was always very put together because of that pageant background, right? And when you… It made sense to me for the first time when we were at the funeral service because I thought, oh, all of these things in her life have prepared her for the storm. Isn’t it interesting how when you get in the storm, you suddenly realize how all the things in your life prepare you for that? What she said here, and this is the first time that she’s ever addressed any of those ridiculous conspiracy theories. And she, I mean, righteous indignation indeed. And as I said on X with this, she has every right to be right. She has every right to be angry and she’s angry in the classiest of ways here. There’s such a clear difference between her and these grifters like Candace Owens. And as I said, Candace Owens was an Al Sharpton protege who was doxing conservatives in 2016. She can’t compete. Her poorly researched conspiracy cha-ching theories, they can’t compete with this real and righteous indignation. It’s just not possible. And honestly, kudos to the way that Erica Kirk addressed it. I don’t think she needs to say anything else to that grifter. No more pearls for swine after that. There was an interview that Erica Kirk gave to. This was a when she was started promoting again, Charlie’s book. And, you know, that’s part of the contract, too. When you come out with a book, you promote it for that first week. And I know that she’s probably, you know, really pushing to fulfill all of those obligations. She was on this book summit thing. It was the New York Times Deal Book Summit. And this was Wednesday of last week. And she was asked about the Second Amendment. And, you know, in light of what happened to her husband and she outright rejected it. She said it is not a gun problem. It’s a human, a deeply human problem. And she said, you will always have individuals that will always resort to violence. She says that she doesn’t wish what she has endured upon anyone. And she says, I support the Second Amendment as well. That right there, telling you what, folks, that’s pretty impressive. That’s strength. Candace Owens looks like a clown compared to that. That can’t compete. Next, sweep the stage. Get the Sandman at the Apollo and pull that clown off the stage. She’s done. And it’s super powerful. Super, super powerful. She also said this too, because they got this trial with this murderer coming up. This is cut 24. Listen to this.
SPEAKER 10 :
We have a trial coming up. Unfortunately, that trial is in a long time. What I want to be mindful of for people is that this was a murder. This is not something that What I don’t want to have happen is for this to taint the jury pool. i don’t i want my husband i want justice for my husband more than any other person on the internet any other person in this world that was my husband and the father to my kids we will make sure and we have been turning over every single stone going down every single lead so when these people say oh they haven’t talked about this or done that how do you know You’re not in those meetings with the attorneys and the prosecutors. You have no idea. You know what?
SPEAKER 02 :
She just gave me an idea. I mean, honestly, can we ask if Candace Owens is trying to help Charlie Kirk’s killer by tainting the jury pool with her stupid, poorly researched, absolute trash rat conspiracy theories? That’s fair. That’s a fair question, isn’t it? Super fair question. Maybe she can ask her gay husband about it. Oh, don’t expect… don’t not even i just get i you see someone who’s hurting and i see hurting i see people trying to hurt hurt people and i want to go after the people who are trying to hurt hurt people i enough enough no more pearls before swine we’ve had enough of this wine have we not we want a fair trial we want a trial we want this guy to capital punishment i think serves it best But that was powerful, super powerful stuff. But I was thinking, like I said in the beginning, you know, it’s class, it’s grace. And for the people who are saying, well, you know, she’s out there an awful lot. You know what? Let me tell you something. She is in this industry. And because of the nature of things, where do you think that she can go to get a job if she needs one? Nowhere. It’s hard. It’s hard when you are stereotyped as a conservative. especially in today’s world. So strike while the iron’s hot. Shore up what you can for you and your family so that you don’t have to worry about that in the future. I don’t begrudge anybody that. And for the people who get mad at her because she smiles when she’s out in public, I feel, you know, you must be touched by luck to not know grief. You must not know what it’s like to find just a moment of peace in a storm where you can just smile. You know, apparently widows are never supposed to smile. They’re supposed to stay mired in their grief and suffering for forever. That’s what those people criticizing her are saying. I’m done with it. I’m done. I don’t want to hear from a single fecal bird. I’m not going to say that word. I usually say criticizing a widow. Leave it alone. Have class. Leave it alone. But I really do think that she’s been prepared for this, maybe not knowingly her whole life. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen this. Oh, gosh, what is that? I mean, let me look this up. It’s an M. Night Shyamalan movie. And it wasn’t actually one of his more well-received ones. But I actually think it’s brilliant. It was called Lady in the Lake. I’m not going to give it all away, but I really if you’ve never watched it, you should. Because it gets, you know, one of her interviews, she mentioned Nehemiah, which interestingly, that was my morning devotional. That’s odd now that I think about it. She mentioned Nehemiah when she was on Fox earlier as an example of teamwork. And I’m like, holy cow, that literally was my devotional this morning. It’s very Nehemiah-esque, Lady in the Lake. And you have a group of people living in an apartment complex dealing with a supernatural event. and every single person has their own eccentricities. And in the end of the movie, it has the same revelation as like the usual suspects, you know, when the detective realized who Kaiser Sosa actually is. You have that level of revelation towards the end of this movie where you see a great puzzle being placed piece by piece together before you by all of these people’s, these apartment complex dwellers, all of their little eccentricities. Each of them, you realize now that there was design in it, that there was a design in the way that they were all living here. There was design in the way that they have all of their little eccentricities. There was a design in the way that they do everything that they do and they’ve come to know everything that they know and they have the relationships with each other that they have. And it is a really humbling experience. awesome thing when you realize that and you look at this at the end of this film and i in a lot of these instances i i i see the same things i see the same thing in this there’s certain things that happen in life and it’s always usually something tragic but it is in the the victory of overcoming the tragedy that you see these things come into play And that’s what I see in this. You should watch that. When was it, 2012 maybe? Lady and the Lake, M. Night Shyamalan. It’s good. Bryce Dallas Howard is in it. There’s some really good actors in it. And it wasn’t one of his most celebrated ones, but I think actually the message is one of the most powerful ones. He always does very thoughtful films.
SPEAKER 03 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 02 :
So I watch Mayor of Kingstown, and I saw one episode where they had drones delivering drugs, and I thought, oh, that’s kind of interesting. I wonder if that actually happens. Oh, well, Associated Press says a drone dropped steak and crab legs for a prisoner feast, but South Carolina guards found it first. Bishopville, South Carolina. It was three weeks before Christmas and in the prison yard, a drone drop package was found by a guard with steak, weed and crab legs and cigarettes for days and also included a tin of Old Bay. Literally, that happened at Lee Correctional Institution prison yard, according to the South Carolina Department of Corrections. Yeah. And they seized it. They said no arrests have been made. They said, I guess the people expecting the package are crabby. That’s actually kind of funny that that is very thoughtful gift for them prisoners. Let’s see. Local. Oh, no, not doing that one. Um. Humanoid robots at an Iranian tech expo turned out to be humans in disguise. Humans in disguise. Autobots. It was a pair of advanced humanoid robots that literally were just two people, like dressed up to be like robots. They were fake robots. They were actual just people. Coming up, religious freedom in the administration and more. Stick with us.

The Dana Show podcast, your fast, funny, and informative news companion for those always on the move. Subscribe on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts.
SPEAKER 02 :
Welcome back. Dana Lash here with you. I’ll keep it going. It’s Little Nat King Cole, Old Holy Night. It’s our first Christmas song of the season. I think this is my favorite Christmas song. And it’s really impossible as a Church of Christ or to not immediately kick in my alto part and start harmonizing when I hear this. It’s taken everything I have right now. But I love this song and I love the history behind it. So it almost sounds like a joke. You know, you have an atheist and a Jewish person and then an abolitionist that walk into a bar. But that’s kind of like the origins of this story without the bar. So this song, there’s many different versions. But O Holy Night started, it was a poem that was written by an atheist. A French atheist, he was a local poet and a wine merchant, Placide Capot, and he was asked by this parish priest if you could just please craft a poem for Christmas. And so he did. And then later on, the accompanying music for it was a Jewish man named Adolf Adam. He heard the poem. He put this music to it. And then in 1847, it went from there. And then it came to the Americas, where an abolitionist named John Sullivan Dwight, he heard it. And the one line, you know, chains shall he break, really, really resonated with him. He was a huge abolitionist. And so he translated the lyrics and amended some of them. And it became now… It is what it is. It had been banned in France for a while because an atheist wrote the original poem on which the song was based. And now it’s one of our best love Christmas songs. And I found it interesting because I told you this morning my devotional was the story of Nehemiah. And then you had Erica Kirk on Fox this afternoon mention Nehemiah. And I’m like, well, there’s a theme here. We got a theme happening. I think all of this is important, not just because it’s Christmas, but because some of the things that we’ve talked about on this program, the attacks at the Christmas markets in Austria and in Germany and France, the things that we’ve seen in the United Kingdom, even the things that we’ve seen here in the United States, it all comes back to it is a spiritual war. It’s not a war between Republicans and Democrats. It is a war between the heavenly realms and the dark forces, as you see in Ephesians. And this is why I think it’s incredibly important to have good people People of strong faith advising the powers that be in this administration, which brings us to our next guest. So I had a friend of mine that reached out and said, oh my gosh, this is a serious issue. We have, you know, you have stories of Christians that are being killed in Niger and Sudan. tortured for their faith daily around the world, thousands more face imprisonment. So a few months ago, POTUS had nominated a former congressman and pastor, Mark Walker, to kind of lead the charge for this, to be as ambassador at large for international religious freedom. And he’s on the waiting list. He’s got the support of, I think, every faith leader, a lot of people in Congress, And he needs to have a hearing. And he joins us now, Mark Walker, former Congressman and pastor. It’s good to have you. Thank you so much for joining us, and Merry Christmas.
SPEAKER 11 :
Thank you. Merry Christmas to you. It’s a privilege to be here. Before I became a senior pastor, I was a music and worship minister. Oh, yeah. Big choir and orchestra doing that O Holy Night. There’s nothing like it, in my opinion. Thank you.
SPEAKER 02 :
It is one of the best. It’s so beautiful to hear all the parts sung. It’s just it’s one of my absolute favorites. I wanted to ask you, so you’re so have us understand you’re on the waiting list. And I know a lot of there’s a lot of nominees for different posts that have just been languishing on these waiting lists that that need these hearings. And it’s getting all tied up in the Senate. And we know the president is quite upset about all of this. What is happening? And then I want to talk to you about the importance of your post.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, so, you know, it’s been since April. President Trump called me and said, Mark, I want you to serve in this capacity with your background as a minister, but also in the House as a former ranking member on intelligence and counterterrorism for our Homeland Security Committee. We’ve traveled the world extensively and have looked at these issues as former ministers. Minister, we’ve been in these countries. We’ve worked in the refugee camps. We had some idea. And I think that’s part of the reason that he saw that we had the credibility to engage this. Obviously, our conservative history is certainly not in doubt. But there has been some gamesmanship, I guess, on the Senate side. And we are trying to figure out where the issue is. We’ve got great support from the cabinet, from many of the senators, everyone we’ve talked to. We don’t have a single no. But for whatever reason, there’s been a little bit of an issue getting over this last hurdle. And we’re just trying to do what we can to follow through what President Trump’s asked us. But even on the larger context, the amount of people that are suffering across the world is just is heart-wrenching and heartbreaking. And we’ve got 30 people in the staff department ready to go that need the guidance, that need the push to be able to engage in this level.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah. And this, so essentially the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, they need to put you on their nominations. They’re hearing for this for tomorrow, for Thursday.
SPEAKER 11 :
It would be great. I think there’s one remaining spot. Four have been named. They usually do five or six. But it would be wonderful to get there, get the vote, get sworn in and start working in the different places. In fact, there’s about 19 countries we’re focused in right now where we’re seeing an uptick either in two things, one, the blasphemy laws or two, the outright Islamist killing that we see a lot of the sub-Saharan African area.
SPEAKER 02 :
This is so incredibly important. If you guys are just joining us, we’re talking to our guest. He’s a former congressman and Also senior pastor Mark Walker on his appointment as ambassador at large for international religious freedom. You have an interesting background, too, because you were talking about counterterrorism. I tend to think, you know, when we have this this thing in our churches, our church here in Texas, where we support missionaries that are overseas. And when I hear their stories, the first thing I think of is that’s actually the first line. Because I do think at some point, you know, this is coming down to it’s spiritual warfare, but also it’s, you know, you’re fighting Islamism and, you know, Christian people are under attack. And as we’ve seen in Sudan and Nigeria and elsewhere, the… National security implications of something like this. It’s asymmetrical warfare. And I think not enough people see the granular, for the lack of a better way to say it, how important this issue is. Talk a little bit about this, because, I mean, it’s more than just like a faith based exercise. It really is a national security issue.
SPEAKER 11 :
Dana, you just broke that, unpacked it beautifully. You really did. That’s why you have to go through all these different levels of security clearances to make sure because there are intelligence components. My denomination, we’ve got missionaries in 150 countries. And sometimes these missionaries are buried even deeper than our assets or have an understanding, getting information of where the next attack might be. Obviously, we know what they would like to do us as the great Satan. But the underlying message you’re talking about, this is a national security issue, but it’s also a spiritual issue that has to be dealt with because of these Islamist groups. If you watch some of the footage and the videos of what these Islamists do, whether it’s Boko Haram, al-Shabaab, ISWAP, or other groups that go into these countries, it is pure, unadulterated evil. the see the glee and the pleasure that they get from torturing even young boys and girls and I won’t even get into the graphic nature of what their ultimate goal is here but this has to be combated and that’s why I was in London recently and Baroness Emma Nicholson in her late 80s worked with Margaret Thatcher she came up and she put her hand on my chest and she said Congressman America is the last hope for religious freedom and she said the reason why is you’re the only country that ever wrote it in its law. So we have responsibility both as believers and as Americans to get out there and advocate for those who are brothers and sisters suffering across the world.
SPEAKER 02 :
That is an incredibly important point. What needs to happen for you to be on that list tomorrow?
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, just for the Senate Committee Chairman, Chairman Risch, just to make it happen. That’s kind of where we are right now. And we’re wanting to do everything that we encourage. Look, we know they have lots of nominees. They have lots of work. I get it from somebody who served at least on the House side, served in leadership as RSC Chairman as well, familiar with the process. But this isn’t necessarily about just me. This position is the principal advisor to Secretary of State and to the President of the United States on all things international religious matters. It’s the ranking ambassador of whichever country this position, which I would be, would go into because these matters are so serious. That’s why this law was passed through Republican legislation in 1998.
SPEAKER 02 :
Wow. And it is like, as we’ve said, it’s incredibly important as well. And whether it’s Nigeria, whether it’s Sudan, whether it’s the Islamism that’s in Europe or even encroaching here in the United States, I mean, our leaders need this guidance more than ever. What can the audience do? I mean, is there anyone that they can just besiege online or phone or email in order to make it happen?
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, I just think encouraging the reaching out to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. They have a phone number reaching out to the Chairman Risch there and just talk about the importance of this issue. There are many pastors, many people that are being detained. We’ve seen an uptick in India with Modi and increasing the blasphemy laws.
SPEAKER 02 :
South Korea even. We’ve been seeing this in South Korea.
SPEAKER 11 :
Pastor Sun, who’s just is detained as we speak in prison for simply having the same faith that you and I do, Dana.
SPEAKER 02 :
That’s just stunning to me because that really surprised me coming out of South Korea, to be honest.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yes, when I went over there eight or nine years, you could see the work that Billy Graham did in the 50s with all the different churches. So it goes to show you how quickly, and first of all, how blessed we are that we have a foundation of our First Amendment, though we have many on the left that like to undermine it and wish it would go away. But those countries that do not, how quickly culture can change and lose that opportunity or lose that ability to simply share and talk about your faith.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah, I completely agreed. Well, I hope to see you on that list tomorrow because I think that especially, I mean, we’re just some weeks before Christmas. You know, no pressure, Senate Foreign Relations Committee, but just, you know, some weeks before Christmas. And it just seems appropriate. And also it’s needed considering the forces that we are facing now. spiritual warfare, and also more traditional, symmetric warfare that we’re facing as well. So we wish you all the best of luck in that. And we’ll be watching, of course, Congressman Mark Walker, retired congressman, of course, senior pastor. We appreciate what you do. Thank you for sharing your faith and fighting for Christians.
SPEAKER 11 :
Merry Christmas.
SPEAKER 02 :
Thank you. Even discuss where they can’t even disclose where these missionaries are. When they go there, they have to stay there uncontacted for an indeterminate amount of amount of time. And then they can come back to the United States because you don’t want it to be detected that that’s because in a lot of these instant, a lot of these places where they’re going, it’s very hostile towards them. proselytization. They don’t want you sharing your faith. They don’t want you evangelizing. They don’t want you sharing the Bible or sharing scripture, anything like that. So, and it does come down to, that’s the first line. And I don’t think a lot of people realize how important that is and how many people who have been brought to Christ through these mission efforts overseas. I mean, there are some amazing stories, stunning stories that we hear from these missionaries. And also, these missionaries, they go with their families. It doesn’t make sense for just a couple of adults. They bring their families with them, and they live in the community, and they They work with the community and that builds up a lot of credibility. And these people in these areas that have not heard or read the Bible or not heard the story of Jesus, they’re right shoulder to shoulder with these families and they see these families living with them. So it’s incredibly important.

SPEAKER 02 :
It is one of the best Christmas songs. The people on TV can’t hear Wonderful Christmas Time by Paul McCartney right now. And Wings, really. Because he’s simply having a wonderful Christmas time. My favorite is when the kids sing in the choir. Oh! That’s so funny. This is one of the best. It’s not Christmas unless I hear Donny Hathaway, Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, and Paul McCartney Wings. I have to hear those four songs or crooners. I got to hear them. Otherwise, we can’t do it. I mean, it doesn’t feel like Christmas, right? White Christmas by Bing Crosby. Oh, Holy Night by Nat King Cole. Wonderful Christmas Time by Paul McCartney Wings. And then the Donny Hathaway. Oh, my gosh. Donny Hathaway song. Shake a hand, shake a hand. Oh, yeah. Such a great track. I love that. It’s This Christmas. That’s a great track. Donny Hathaway, This Christmas. That’s just… That’s me sitting in the backseat of my mom’s green Oldsmobile driving and looking at all the rich people Christmas lights while Donny Hathaway singing This Christmas on the radio. That’s what I remember. And you’re looking at all… It was like driving by a bunch of Home Alone houses and… that’s that’s what it was like right can you feel that oh so good oh is it weird okay is it weird to stop by people’s houses and like when they’re all decorated and you take photos of yourself in front of their houses because i totally think people expect that anymore these days there’s a house that’s in a neighborhood near us that i they do a whole i think they have little kids they do a crazy big frozen thing Like, every year. They’ve got the store where the guy’s like, oh, here’s someone’s set. They got that and that guy, that Sven guy, they got him there. They got, like, all this stuff. And I’ve got to drive by it every year. Those people who put out all those Christmas lights bring so much joy. I love those people so much. The more, the better. I would, my husband reigns me in. Because I would have, I want an attack on Titan-sized nativity in my front yard, Cain. Can you imagine having a nativity bigger than your house, like right in your front yard, and you got it all lit up? Baby Jesus is all lit up. I even know how I’d light the manger. I even know how I would light it up. Does anybody else go a little overboard, too? No? My mom, one year, she’s going to kill me. I shouldn’t say this. I don’t know where she got it. She did this. It was a Southern Missouri thing. She did it where it was Christmas lights, but in plastic bags. clear plastic solo cups. And so it was like a Christmas light disco ball. That woman for a period went through that. That was her vibe for a couple of Christmases in a row. And it only looked good at night. During the day, you’re like, what are all these plastic cups up here for? What is this? But at night, it looked like a dream. But during the day, it was just a hot mess. It just didn’t look right. I’m going to get hate mail. If she sends me hate mail, I will read it on air for money. Don’t test me, Nana. All right. Today in stupidity, Cain, what do we got?
SPEAKER 03 :
Encourage something. All right. Cut 14. This is Adam Schiff. Now, we all know everyone got it wrong as it relates to Russia hoax, the Russia collusion hoax. So he was given an opportunity here, Adam Schiff, to sort of get out of it and explain. But instead, this is what he did.
SPEAKER 04 :
He talks a lot about Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, hoax, hoax. Did you get anything wrong about that?
SPEAKER 12 :
No, I don’t think we got anything wrong. What? I do think that at the end of the investigation.
SPEAKER 03 :
There was nothing that they got right. What did they get right? I think would be the follow-up question to that. You didn’t get anything wrong? Oh, well, then what’d you get right?
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 03 :
What’d you get right? Because it was nothing.
SPEAKER 02 :
