SPEAKER 06 :

Florida was arrested at Disney Springs after he got drunk during… No, wait. What is this? It was a show? Oh, it was… House of Blues. Oh, it was the House of Blues. Okay. Because it says at Hawthorne Heights show. I’m like… So, you’re telling me a guy got drunk at a nightclub? Yeah. And they’re like, wow, he’s in trouble. Is that right? Ryan Tomasco, 38. He was arrested for trespass, disorderly conduct and resisting an officer without violence. So this is all the way back in August. But apparently they’re all doing this now. He got kicked out of this House of Blues show for being drunk. And. OK, so why is this news? so this is like the in front of kids who’s got their kids at a nightclub that’s like taking your damn baby to a bar not like a no let me rephrase that to a tavern there’s a bar and then there are taverns y’all know what I mean right there’s a difference it’s like having your baby in a tavern know what I’m saying like why would you bring your kids to a club you know where people are going to be drinking and listening to a lot of music why I don’t get it and they’re shocked when a guy drank and was falling all over the place Look, my grandparents used to run a bar. Sorry, a tavern. I saw many a drunk person get thrown out of it. Just saying. I don’t know. Like, you’re shocked. I mean, he shouldn’t have fought with the officer, but I don’t know. I don’t know what I think about that one. Let’s see. This… Oh man, we’re running out of time. Okay, I’m going to have to tell you about the scumbag Florida realtor tomorrow.

We were talking about… We played this last hour, Audio Soundbite 7, but Taylor Lorenz, when she was… Taylor Lorenz, she’s like some 50-year-old who pretended that she was 30. So it seemed less ridiculous if she wrote about Taylor Swift. And she’s… She got fired from Vox or something like that. No one can – I don’t know what her appeal is other than she’s a good avatar for the stupidity on the left and it makes for content that you can work around. But there were enough people on the left that said that they enjoyed or that they celebrated or that they felt joy over –
SPEAKER 03 :
watching the ceo be gunned down in the middle of the street listen to this i’ll do something seven i think that’s why i i felt along with so many other americans joy unfortunately you know because it feels like serious i mean joy the man’s execution maybe not joy but certainly not no certainly not empathy because again we’re watching the footage how can this make you joyful
SPEAKER 04 :
This guy’s a husband.
SPEAKER 03 :
He’s a father.
SPEAKER 04 :
And he’s being young down in the middle of Manhattan.
SPEAKER 03 :
Why is that making joyful Americans that be murdered? So are tens. So are the tens of thousands of Americans, innocent Americans who died because greedy health insurance executives like this one push a policies of denying.
SPEAKER 01 :
She’s like somebody who read one missive, one essay about health insurance in college. And now she thinks she’s an expert. What is she even talking about? So because she doesn’t like the way health insurance works, and by the way, health insurance is that way because you stupid morons, the Taylor Lorenzes of the world, make it that way. We could have it be portable. We could have it to where you could make insurance companies compete and you could purchase across state lines, et cetera, et cetera, carry it with you wherever. But you know who fought against that? Democrats did. Democrats fought against it. They were the ones who barred that. That was Republicans that were trying to make that happen before Obamacare was passed. They had like 13 other proposals for all the people who get out there and say Republicans had no proposals to Obamacare. Those people who say that aren’t educated enough to be included in this big kid conversation. The people who say that didn’t pay attention enough to their own government. And so they need to stay out of this conversation and let people who do know what happened actually continue on the merits of fact. Because there were 13 alternatives to Obamacare, and every single one of them were shot down by Democrats who controlled everything. And numerous proposals included the portability, you know, keeping it untethered from your work. It’s asinine that your job has to provide you with your health insurance. It’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard of. You should be able to get it for yourself. It should be affordable. And you should be able to use it like you do car insurance or something. The other reason is people use insurance wrong. That drives up the cost, too. The dumb Taylor Lorenzes of the world. 50 years old, and you act like a 15-year-old bimbo. I don’t get it. Like, what the hell is wrong with you? Like, arrested development, that one. Oh, I don’t feel bad. Make sure you quote me accurately, Media Matters, and then please make note that I don’t have enough middle fingers to give you salutes. You George Soros lotion boys. Anyway. It’s true. Let’s be real. This… Joy that you feel you created the situation. He’s just running one of the companies and you created the regulations in which he has to operate. You created the framework. He has to operate in that framework. Why are they mad? They’re mad because of what they created. They’re mad because they don’t like the conditions of insurance. They’re mad because they made it a hellscape. Just so dumb. And Obamacare is trash. It absolutely is trash. But that’s what, you know, and the other difference, and Cain noted this, to even compare the health care CEO to Jordan Ely is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen. The CEO had no idea what was happening. He was walking in a different direction. And this cowardly trust fund socialist came up behind him and shot him. Jordan Neely was threatening to murder people. In their faces. After he’s already tried to murder people. So this is just not even. This is so goofy. But they felt joy. They felt joy. I bet she would have felt joy. I bet if they watched, if there had been footage of Jordan Neely… threatening to kill people and getting in the faces of these women, scaring the babies that were on the subway train, on the subway car. I bet that the Taylor Lorenzes of the world would have felt joy at that too, wouldn’t they have? Because they’re psychos. Would they have felt joy watching a mother try to shield her child as Jordan Ely was screaming about how he was going to kill them all? Does that get them off? It makes me wonder. These people are that messed up. How messed up are you that you actually have that enthusiasm? over that kind of stuff. These people have a screw loose. And I’m not talking about the Jordan Ely’s. I’m talking about like the CNN lady and this bra that we just played on Piers Morgan’s whatever. What the hell is the matter with you? You soulless cretins. Y’all need Jesus and a Bible for Christmas. That’s what y’all need. Good night. It’s just aggravating. It actually makes me enraged. Our partners over at Kel-Tec, the P15, it’s the lightest and it’s double stacked 9mm on the market. I actually had somebody who was, they’re getting their concealed carry And they’ve never carried before. And they were asking me what they should get. It’s a woman. Never carried before. She’s asking me what she should get. And I was recommending to her a few things. And I said, honestly, the lightest, thinnest, the most concealable 9mm is Kel-Tex P15. It really, truly is. And I have every, I think I have every compact pistol you can think of. The Kel-Type P15, 9mm. It’s a 1.27 inches wide, 4 inch barrel. And it ships with two standard capacity magazines. The standard 15 round with minimal pinky extension. And then you have a flush fit double stack mag that holds 12 rounds for even more ultra concealability. Two versions, the metal version, metal frame with the wood grip panel. And then you have the walnut wood. It’s really beautiful. And then you have the polymer version with the gator grip texture. Really just classic. And they’re great to hold and they’re great to fire. And it’s from Kel-Tec, the inventors of the micro compact pistol category. It’s a great striker fire pistol model. And you’ve got the Tritium fiber optic front sights, fully adjustable fiber optic 2.0 rear, and everything made in Florida. It’s quality made here in the U.S. of A. Innovation Performance Kel-Tec. It’s the P15. I highly, highly, highly recommend it for concealed carry. Learn more at Kel-TecWeapons.com. That’s K-E-L-T-E-C-Weapons.com. It’s the P15. Tell them Dana sent you.
SPEAKER 05 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 01 :
So the Guardian, which is a left leaning POS over in Britain, says that the college enrollment rate is falling at a concerning or the college enrollment levels dropping at a concerning rate. Fewer 18 year olds are enrolling, especially at four year schools. But the number of applications continues to grow. I think there needs to be a reworking of the college system entirely. I think it’s absolutely stupid. It’s a racket. I think that they try to charge you thousands of dollars to take stupid, idiotic humanities classes that do nothing to enrich one’s mind, further one’s education, or have anything to do with their major at all whatsoever. And I think that if any college receives any kind of federal money and they require these students to take these stupid courses as part of their education, what their degree coursework, they should be penalized personally. I mean, honestly, it’s really as stupid. The way we run higher education is one of the dumbest aspects of this country. It really is. And thanks left. Thanks for doing that. Thanks for consolidating all of the tuition and the loans and driving up costs for everybody. Tokyo adopts a four day work week because they’re desperate that women have more kids. They do have a huge issue over there as it relates to their population size. Their population growth has been super slow. They said their fertility rate plummeted to a record low of 1.2 in 2023. Super low fertility rate. So they’re implementing a four-day work week for their employees beginning next year, offering them three-day weekends and family-friendly options. And they said that they have to do it to support families. Also, you know, it’s a cultural thing and an economic thing. If you could have more families live comfortably on one income, you would probably see more. If you had lower taxation and less government spending… you would probably see more able to make that choice. And I think that not just here in the United States, but I think that that goes for any country, anybody, because this is something that’s affecting everybody around the world. Here they go. Here they’re setting up the narrative. Telegraph, another left-leaning POS in Britain. America’s economy risks massive Trump slump. They’re setting Trump up. I told you this was going to happen. We both told you. Cain and I told you. We talked about this, Cain, what, for weeks. They’re going to do this. They said here’s the first sentence. Donald Trump risks tipping the U.S. in a recession if he follows through with the promises made on the campaign trail. So for Republicans, here’s why Doge is going to have and we’ll talk more about this. Here’s why Doge is going to have its work cut out for them. If even if they were to suggest all of these cuts to Congress, Congress still has to vote to implement them. That’s number one. Number two. You see these headlines? That’s just the start of it. If you have Republicans actually commit to austerity and reduce government spending and lower taxes, they are going to hammer the GOP with headlines like these. Absolutely. They’re going to hammer them with these headlines. And look what happened in Greece when they just tried to implement austerity. People were riding in the streets. So, just saying. That’s something to think about. This… Study says regularly posting on social media may worsen mental health in adults. Oh, I completely agree that. I completely agree with that. In fact, there’s most adults, I think, on social media, not us, but everybody else. I think that they live up to this headline hype. Stick with us. I don’t know if you saw the creche where they have like this. It’s sort of like a giant diorama. I don’t know how else to put it. It’s usually like a biblical story laid out in a scene. It’s like a 3D thing. It’s called a creche. And with Pope Francis, apparently, I guess they put one up and pulled this up. He inaugurated a new nativity scene, Southern Missouri. I call it nativity, called Bethlehem 2024. It’s in the lobby of the Vatican. Now, okay, that all sounds well and good, right? You’ve got a nativity in the lobby of the Vatican. I’ve been in the lobby of the Vatican. It’s a huge, huge area. So they put this, and Juan’s showing you the photo of it. Notice something in the photo that Juan’s showing you. What is the baby Jesus laying on? He’s laying on one of them Hamas picnic blankets. And it’s a symbol of the pro-Hamas folks. And I guess it’s part of the whole setup. What? What? Yeah, Jesus was so totally Jewish. Jesus was a Jew. Jesus was Jewish. They called him rabbi for crying out loud. He was Jewish. Why is he laying on a pro Hamas picnic blanket? And the creche. And, oh, guess who was with the Pope when he unveiled that? It was the PLO, the Palestine Liberation Organization Executive Committee member, Ramzi Khoury. And he was there on behalf of Mahmoud Abbas, the PLO president, Mahmoud Abbas. Huh. And Corey thanked Pope Francis for his unwavering support of the quote-unquote Palestine. I don’t like to say Palestine or Palestinian because it’s a fake place and a made-up ethnicity. So I don’t like saying that because it is. It’s not supported by biblical history. It’s not even supported by the Koran. It’s not supported by any religious text. 2,000 years of antiquity don’t support it as a singular place or an ethnicity of people. So Gaza. I like to say Gaza. Gaza, that’s a correct… term for that geographical area. And their government is literally Hamas, like they voted for them. So pro-Hamas, it’s accurate. So they had, Corey thanked Pope Francis for his support of the Gazan cause. And they want to end the war on Gaza that their government started. Their government started the war, killed a bunch of people. I just find it, I’m just shocked. That’s who the Pope had with him. The Pope had him with him. There, unveiling this creche. What? Are you, really? That’s who he had with him. Cain, what are you typing? Just say it. Say it, don’t spray it.
SPEAKER 06 :
No, I was just saying, I’m not sure Jesus ever had a, are they called those keffias?
SPEAKER 01 :
Yeah, I call them picnic blankets.
SPEAKER 06 :
Picnic blankets. I’m not sure Jesus ever owned one at any point in his life.
SPEAKER 01 :
Yeah, it’s not historically accurate.
SPEAKER 06 :
It’s a tough one to get my mind around.
SPEAKER 01 :
I mean, it’s just kind of weird that he has the Hamas, you know, Gaza guy there with him. And they’re like, yes, you know, thank you for trying to end the war on Gaza. What do you mean the war on Gaza? Gaza had a war on Israel. Your elected government did it. Hamas. You still have babies in captivity. The hell are you talking about? Oh, the war on Gaza. All you had to do was release the hostages. You walking mental abortion. All you had to do was release the hostages. That’s it. Oh, but you didn’t want to. So now what? What are people supposed to do? My gosh, if someone busted into my house and kidnapped members of my family, I would literally boil everyone associated with it in acid after I flayed them publicly on my front yard. Oh, I’m not joking. I would go further. See, I need cane sidebar sidebar. I need to be in charge of torture. Yeah. So, but Dana, we live in a Republic. This is why I can’t be a president because I come up with fun jobs like this ministry of torture. Me, just me, just me, just make it with me. And it can end when I leave. But I would be really good at this. So good at this. I have a particular set of skills, okay? I have some skills. You want to know what my skills are? I can do a cat eye liquid liner like nobody’s business. I can do it in three motions. I’m so good. Number one. Number two. Ski ball. Oh, my gosh. If it was an Olympic sport, I will win so many gold medals for our country. I can get 100s all day long. Boom, boom, boom. I’m so good at it, right? So I got a particular set of skills. I can do things. I can parallel park in two moves. Anything. Give me a semi. I’ll parallel park it. I have weird skills. I have crazy skills. weird trivia, a crazy weird trivia mind. So I can do, if you have really weird trivia nights, I’m your, I’m like your, you know, I’m your ringer. Bring me in. Can’t fold a fitted sheet. You know, can’t do that. Um, you know, but there’s other things I can do well, but those are some of my top skills. Right. And, um, I feel like this would also be one of them. Devising ways of torturing one’s enemies. And so I’m totally fine with being in charge of that. Minister of torture. I wouldn’t call it torture. Minister of enhanced… Interrogation. No, I don’t like interrogation. It’s too aggressive. And remember, they ruined that in the early aughts. They ruined the whole phrase. Minister of enhanced… questioning sounds way less harsh than interrogation doesn’t it right or enhanced cooperation yeah I’m totally, that’s the technique. I’m totally fine with it. Remember, by the way, remember back in the aughts when it was all enhanced interrogation and waterboarding and I’m like, why are we feeling bad about waterboarding people caught literally in the battlefield in the war on terror? Why are we, I don’t feel bad for you. If you’re hanging out with terrorists, I don’t care. Why waterboard? Just drown. Just keep them in there. Why? Why? Why are we feeling bad for terrorists? If you’re capturing them in acts of terrorism, why is there any kind of feel badness about it? Right. I wouldn’t be waterboarding because that’s just an aggressive baptism. I would keep you under. So.
SPEAKER 02 :
Anyway, I think we might just add our last band name of the year right there. Aggressive baptism.
SPEAKER 01 :
Oh, that would be so good. It’s like a prog rock Christian band, right? Yeah, and everything is in drop D. It’d be great.
SPEAKER 02 :
That list will get debuted next week.
SPEAKER 01 :
Sweet, sweet, S-A-H, sweet. All right, so back to my whole thing. So he was conveying things of Mahmoud Abbas. Oh, but I’m not done yet. I’m not done yet because we still have to touch on this, but then there was the thing that they put out. Yeah, I don’t know if it was the Vatican, but it was like Catholic.org, their big magazine, where they had the gender stuff. We got to talk about this. All my Catholic friends are up in arms. They’re like, live it at the Pope. They’re living at this thing. They’re mad. I’m like, it’s Christmas. Why are your leaders doing this? Why?
