SPEAKER 01 :
Because of the adverse weather that Minneapolis has seen in recent snow, one of the vehicles became stuck and ensnared in the snow. Law enforcement were attempting to push out this vehicle and when a mob of agitators that were harassing them all day began blocking them in, shouting at them and impeding law enforcement operations. ICE officers and agents approached the vehicle of the individual in question who was blocking the officers in with her vehicle, and she had been stalking and impeding their work all throughout the day. ICE agents repeatedly ordered her to get out of the car and to stop obstructing law enforcement, but she refused to obey their commands. She then proceeded to weaponize her vehicle and she attempted to run a law enforcement officer over. This appears as an attempt to kill or to cause bodily harm to agents, an act of domestic terrorism. The ICE officer fearing for his life and the other officers around him and the safety of the public fired defensive shots. He used his training to save his own life and that of his colleagues.
SPEAKER 22 :
So it looks like mean well what the video shows that this ice officer acted in self-defense and this all happened if you’re if you remember right as we i want to say kane it was in the last hour of the show when this hit and it had to do with ice carrying out an operation in minneapolis and they were actually targeting people remember minneapolis where you have all this fraud happening And they were actually targeting these individuals that are repeat offenders, and some of them they said were violent criminals, etc. So this woman, and this is what the big debate has been about this entire time, is she drove into a group of ICE agents, and I don’t know how you drive into a group of ICE agents without the intent of using your… vehicle as a weapon. And by the way, that is a legal definition. There’s a court case that talks about vehicles that are used as weapons. So welcome to the program, Dana Lash with you. We are at the top of this first hour, and we’re going to dive into all of this, including, I’m going to warn you, some of the video, we normally don’t show stuff like this, but I think it’s important to in this case, because some of the video that we’re going to be showing includes, you know, this individual, sadly, getting shot because she chose to hit the gas pedal. And The slowed down versions of it. We also have some photos of the the scene as well, including the vehicle. So just an FYI with us. But the reason that we’re showing it is because people are trying to say the way that I see this being argued is that. People are there. They’re insisting somehow that this individual, that this woman at the center of this, that she somehow was the victim and that the ICE agent should have known better. I mean, you have people like Ro Khanna, who has been calling for this ICE agent to be arrested, put the ICE agent in cuffs. So if you’re just joining us, welcome to the show. Dana Lash with you. Top of this first hour. The chat’s at Rumble. And we also have the streaming at YouTube. And of course, Channel 347, DirecTV, but YouTube is where it is at. So the case, now that we’ve, there’s been multiple videos that have been seen. that have been released from, forgive me, I’m looking at my notes. Again, if you’re big, giant, four and a half foot gaming screen, we don’t do teleprompters here on the show. We don’t because we’re smart enough to not need them and also we’re hanging out with our audience. So I’m looking at my notes. There were no fewer. I see five different angles, Cain. Now, if you see more, let me know. But when I was tweeting it out and when I was including it in the piece that’s up on Substack last night, there were… Well, last night when I ran this piece, there were four and then there was the other video that came out where it was the one that was like by the tree and they zoomed in on it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that for my count was five. So we can kind of see exactly what happened. Not kind of. We can see exactly what happened. There was the vehicles were apparently they were using them to block in ice. So it wasn’t like she was trying to drive through the road and ICE stopped her. Apparently, what happened was they were blocking ICE in. And what’s interesting is that the partner of the woman in question is. And I’m saying just so I’m not saying this for any other reason than there is no misunderstanding. She was a woman married to a woman or she said she was married to a woman. I assume that they were married. I don’t know. And just so that there’s no confusion. Her partner was saying that had said and this was I think this was CBS. Oh, she had been stalking them all day. And she was the lead car. Another witness on scene had told the press that she was, quote, the lead car. So they weren’t just protesting like with their feet on the ground. They were also apparently using their vehicles to block ice. And apparently they were saying that she was the lead car in this, which is weird because the family was trying to say later, oh, she wasn’t involved. She wasn’t involved in this. You know, she had this was, you know, not anything that she did, but apparently she was. And she was described as being the lead car. Now, the reason I say this is just to give a little bit of perspective here. Because the way that some have been arguing this situation is they act like she was literally just driving to the supermarket, happened to turn down the wrong street, and there’s some ICE agents, and oh my gosh, what’s happening now? Isn’t that kind of how… That’s the intimation, right? That’s sort of what they’re trying to make it out to be. But the reality is, is that she was using her vehicle to block ICE in. She was apparently part of an all day protest and she was apparently one of the lead antagonists. And I’m not making that up. I’m just going by what the people who were there with her were saying. Also, why would her partner, who was one of the individuals recording one of those five different angles, not be in the vehicle with her? Why was her partner standing outside recording it for no other reason than to make a scene? You see what I’m saying now? Why was her partner, the woman that’s heard screaming in the video, is apparently the partner? So why was that happening? Why was she outside of the vehicle, if not to record it, to make a scene? Play stupid games and you win stupid prizes. It’s unfortunate that she made that decision. And I’ve seen some people say, well, now she leaves behind two kids from her first marriage. That’s unfortunate that she chose to take part in a violent demonstration of Instead of being at home with her kids. I don’t want to hear it because I’ve gone to protests. I’ve had kids. I got kids, too. I’ve gone to numerous protests. I have been at protests where the left decided to make it spicy. And I left because I was not going to put myself in a situation where I could not be there as a parent for my children. It’s all about being a responsible ass adult. So I don’t want to hear these excuses from people. I find it degrading and offensive intellectually. She made a decision. It is unfortunate that she made a decision. And I find it equally unfortunate that there are people out there that are trying to defend this violent Karen who yeeted herself and her vehicle into a herd of ICE agents and then chose to press the gas pedal and hit one of them on video while they were trying to deport criminals that are defrauding people of billions of dollars. So, no, we’re not doing this. Do we have the slow-mo video by chance? If we can get that slow-mo up. That’s been on my timeline for, yeah, let’s go. And again, warning you guys on this. Thank you, guys. Warning you guys on this. It shows an ICE agent getting hit, and then he draws his gun. Now, this is a zoomed-in version. Actually, which one are we going to show first? You just let me know, and we’ll roll with it. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. So this is the zoomed in. You see her driving. You see her driving. And, well, there’s the ICE agent right there. Boom. Hits him. Hits him. Now, this is also slowed down. Because it happened way faster than this. This is a slowed down, zoomed in version. And you see he’s in front telling her to stop, stop, stop, and she hits him. So she was using, there’s a reason why there’s all these vehicles that are not official police vehicles also in the street. You see some with the lights in the dash, but there are other vehicles there. That’s because apparently these protesters were using, like I said, their vehicles to block ICE in. So in addition to having people there on the street, you also had them there blocking in ICE. So she was told repeatedly and loudly to get out of the car. And in other videos, you hear them yelling at her to stop the car and get out. So she was given repeated verbal commands. Stop the vehicle. Get out of the vehicle. Stop the vehicle. Get out of the vehicle. That is not the moment that you litigate commands, especially if it’s about de-escalation. So that was unfortunate that she chose that. She’s dead because she hit the gas pedal. Now, can you we show the video of the bullet hole through the front windshield? Because I’m really tired of these people saying, oh, the guy was firing at her as she drove away or that he was firing in the the passenger side window. There is a video or sorry, a photograph of the front windshield with a bullet hole right in the driver’s side windshield. That was the video that… Or that was the shot that killed her. It was… And Juan’s preparing this. God love Juan right now. He needs two extra arms. This is… Right here. This is the… This is the video… of, or sorry, the photograph of the SUV that she was driving. And this shows you, as you can see, the bullet hole right there in the windshield. That was the shot that killed her. So can we dispel with this myth that they were firing at her from the side or from the back? I heard someone say, someone literally tried telling me that they fired through the back glass. Does that look like the back glass? Do you wear headlights typically located on a vehicle? That was the shot that killed her. So let’s dispel this myth. Now, I’m fine with having an investigation, but I 1,010% believe this was wholly entirely justified. Some people were saying, well, and I love all of these individuals because, you know, whenever Harambe was killed, everyone turned into guerrilla experts, right? You always have these people that self-styled themselves as experts for whatever situation calls. And they were saying, well, if you look at the wheels, they were turning away. They were on black ice. How do we know that? Because of what other people were telling the media who were there. In fact, there was another witness who was saying it was like slippery, et cetera, et cetera. So when you watch the video full speed, she’s like spinning out. Now, you can make of that what you will. I find that completely irrelevant to the whole situation. Why? Because the officer who’s in front of the car getting hit can’t be in simultaneously in the back of the SUV to watch which way the tires are pointing. This is asinine. She’s given repeated commands, and she chooses to lurch her vehicle forward. The roads are slippery. They’re wet. There’s black ice. You can see the officer sliding on the damn ice. I mean, for crying out loud, anybody in the Midwest and the North knows that’s black ice. You can even see him sliding. He’s slipping on the ice. So she’s accelerating. The officer who is in the front, what is he expected to do? Stop and go, ma’am, before you drive into me, before you accelerate forward, are you trying to hit me with your vehicle? Where the hell are these people? Is that what you normally do in a situation where you’re being attacked? Mr. Attacker, will you please stop? I just want to know if you’re going to rape me or if you’re thinking about it or not. This is self-defense also that’s under attack with this situation. So she should have stopped her vehicle. She didn’t. And the officer justifiably believed that his life was in was under threat. And so he used lethal force. It is not his responsibility to say, Mrs. Attacker, can you stop for a moment? Are you I see you’re lurching your vehicle forward. You’re pressing the gas pedal. You’re accelerating towards me. Are you doing that with the intent to hit me? Are you people for real? We got a lot more on the way because we’ve got how this is all nothing more than a distraction from the massive fraud in Minnesota. Democrats desperately need a distraction and they think this is it. Sometimes I wonder if people think that because, you know, so many things online are sophisticated now that that means protection just automatically is sophisticated and it isn’t. You actually have to be proactive. and protecting your private information and your financial information, all of that, your identity, everything. You have to be proactive in protecting it, not just for yourself, but for your family. And it’s really important to have this kind of stuff. Look at it like as a safeguard, you know, for your online activity. You make a lot of purchases online. You do a lot of bill pay, all that stuff online. You need WebRoot Total Protection or WebRoot Essentials. WebRoot Essentials is lightning fast antivirus.

SPEAKER 15 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 22 :
So polymarkets refusing to pay bets that the U.S. would invade Venezuela. The protection market disputes the U.S. rate amounted to an invasion in a fight over more than ten and a half million dollars in wagers. So they’re disputing this, that it constituted an invasion. And they said they’re only going to because I agree with them. They said they’re only going to settle a prediction. a prediction contract if the military actually assumed control of Venezuela so I think that’s kind of they’re right they’re not wrong on that I mean it’s true let’s see apparently more men are picking up sewing I don’t okay so I actually know a number of retired operators in the military who knit and crochet and they would do that on base as a way to like mentally unwind and they actually got really good at it one of our very good friends does all these hats and he’s really good It’s not just a woman’s hobby. It’s actual mental yoga. There’s a new study showing that more men are doing it. Men whittle wood, so why wouldn’t they do something like that? I don’t look at it as a feminine thing. It really is like mental yoga. It’s why I do it so much. Also, let’s see. A Scottish delivery driver used a vodka hack to keep his car windscreen ice-free. Basically, he sprays vodka on his windshield, and then he adds a few shots to the reservoir, to the… fluid and it stops it from freezing solid that’s actually i yeah that yeah i mean that makes all the sense in the world why does that seem like a hack that seems like something we all should do although people would probably be drinking your washer fluid uh just saying and uh let’s see we’ve got oh they’re trying to say flu reaches the highest level in 25 years they’ve been saying that for forever just fyi so nobody freak out we got a lot more in store stick with us The folks who help make the program happen, it is our friends over at Patriot Mobile, the only Christian conservative cell phone service that is out there.

SPEAKER 22 :
Welcome back to the program. Make sure that you’re signed up over at Substack, chapter and verse, because I sent out a piece about this last night as the story was breaking, going over some of the latest. I mean, the shooting, the ice shooting in Minneapolis, I mean, I am a thousand and ten percent. I’ve seen every video available. I have read every article wherein they get quotes from the people who were there. I read a piece where they were talking to the partner of the woman who was shot. And I know their politics, everything, which is, you know, gives some motivation as to maybe why they did what they did. And we’ll talk about that in a moment. It’s it’s always unfortunate when someone loses their life. But here’s one thing that I’m not going to do. I am not going to sit here and entertain the idea of having another George Floyd interview. era riot not doing that we went through two straight summers of burning and looting you had left us that literally set a church on fire in Washington DC during a riot they literally set a historic church on fire There were neighborhoods, historic black neighborhoods that were burned by rioters. So we’re not doing this again. We’re not going to sit here and lionize people who should have known better. It’s unfortunate what happened, but you don’t have to lionize someone who made stupid choices. And this woman made stupid choices. And I’m going to tell you something, people like Ro Khanna calling for the arrest of this ICE agent, you don’t want to see people like me in the streets. But you bet your ass you will if you put this guy in cuffs. This is ridiculous. They’re there doing the job that the people elected our officials to implement. They’re doing the job. They’re going after people who are committing crimes after committing the crime of entering illegally. What’s interesting is this woman was an antagonist. That’s not speaking ill of the dead. That’s talking fact and preventing this from being used as a flashpoint for a riot. Case in point. This is Audio Soundbite. I highlighted it. Audio Soundbite 13. This was a witness who was there. Listen to this.
SPEAKER 04 :
They clearly wanted her out of there because she was the main car leading the protest, is my understanding. I talked to another guy who was driving behind her, but she was she was very aggressive. was very successful in blocking traffic she was doing what she was what she was set out to do and so they wanted to get her the hell out of there um yeah so it looked like she was impeding ice vehicles definitely yeah that was her goal the lead car impeding ice vehicles and trying to block them in ice agents approached her vehicle
SPEAKER 22 :
repeatedly before anyone drew a weapon. And you can see it on the video. They approached her vehicle and they asked her to put her car in park and exit the vehicle. She refused to listen to repeat commands. put the car in park, exit the vehicle, put the car in park, exit the vehicle. And it was at the point when she kept turning her, backing up and then trying, and then she kept driving forward. She backed up after, because at first she thought, well, maybe, maybe I’ll, I think she thought she was going to get around a car. And then you can tell she was just mad. There’s a point where she stopped. It looked like she, because there was a truck behind her. And they got, I think the guy behind them, in another video, I think it shows that guy getting out of that truck. And oh wait, there’s her. And she just lurched forward. She wasn’t even trying to get around that ICE agent. And that ICE agent can’t be expected to be in front of the vehicle and also simultaneously have eyes in the back of the vehicle to be able to see what she’s doing. That slick there, it was slick. It was coated with ice. She was spinning out at one point. I don’t think she was trying to turn to avert. My opinion personally is I don’t think she was trying to turn her wheels to avert the agent. I think she had enough and she just gunned it. He felt his life was in danger and also potentially other people’s lives. So he shot her right through the front windshield, as indicated by the giant bullet hole through the front windshield. Not through the side, not through the back, through the front. Unless you’re trying to tell me that he shot in the side and then the bullet bent it like Beckham and went through the front windshield. Not happening. He fired a single shot. and the bullet, he fired a single shot through the front windshield, and that’s the one that killed her. There were three shots total. There was one that went through the front windshield, and she kept driving. He fired three shots. That was the one that killed her. And so, there is Tussis v. Billiott, which was a Supreme Court, this was a case back in 2023, where A vehicle is considered assault with a deadly weapon. So there’s already a legal precedent for this case for this for the idea of using a vehicle. As a deadly weapon. This was an October 18th case. It was a 7th circuit. And they decided. It was. That an officer was entitled. To qualified immunity. Because he used lethal force. Against a motorist. Who was using their vehicle. As a deadly weapon. That is the case. And. It’s already been established. There were other cases that this. Has already been established. But the talking points, as Cain noted, they’ve gone out. Literally the same words over and over and over and over and over again. They’re saying that she’s a legal observer. How in the hell she’s like, you know, she describes herself as a poet. She’s got her pronouns, Ukrainian flag. They are very, very she and her partner were very, very left leaning. And now I’m not saying that this is I don’t want people being moronic and saying, well, you can’t kill people for being leftist. That’s not what we’re saying. If you already are of this mindset and you have people out there, including former President Joe Biden and others that are calling ICE agents Nazis and all this other stuff. If you are dumb enough to believe all these things, you’re going to be dumb enough to be persuaded that the agent standing in front of you telling you to get out of your vehicle is a Nazi. So you want to drive into Nazis, right? Isn’t that what you want to do? The Gestapo, as they call them. Isn’t that what you want to do? The only Gestapo I saw are the people attacking the agents. No, they are very, very, very far left. Very far left. And, you know, that’s fine. Whatever. Be far left. But they’re so they were so zealot zealot zealous in their political persuasion that they went to this this riot. This and it’s a riot when it’s at this point, it’s a riot. And decided that they were going to make a scene. So the partner was standing outside recording. The woman was in the vehicle and she was using it to target and run down ICE agents. She was the lead vehicle, as we just played from one of the witness statements. Really amazing. Listen to this. This doesn’t help. This is cut seven. Governor Tim Walz, who, by the way, is trying to save his fat ass. Because he’s implicated in this fraud. You know how many people are implicated in this fraud? Before I play this real quickly, I want you to realize this is what this is a distraction for. It is a distraction for the insane amount of fraud. Do you know that the Attorney General Keith Ellison, this is from the Wall Street Journal, I said this yesterday, A.G. Keith Ellison, his councilman’s son, his nepo baby, the mayor, Jacob Fry, Ilhan Omar, and others directly received cash from the Somali fraudsters. Their cut came out of the $250 million scheme of, quote unquote, feeding our future. Each one of these lawmakers personally met with the fraudsters. They did events with them. They dined with them. They knew them personally. So this is one of the reasons why they’re clinging to this so hard as a tool of distraction. Now cut to Tim Walz. This is cut seven. This kind of language doesn’t help. Listen.
SPEAKER 12 :
Well, I said this yesterday. We’ve never been at war with our federal government. I think in this case that the National Guard is their main mission. They have a dual mission. Yeah.
SPEAKER 22 :
You’re not at war with your federal government. Although you’re not at war with the federal government. They want to be. They desperately want to be. They need this. No one loves violence more than the left. No one loves it more than the left. So, I don’t know. Someone said, well, you know what, this woman, give her the Ashley Babbitt treatment. Just saying. Ashley Babbitt, though, wasn’t armed. I mean, it’s horrible. That’s what Tim Walz says. I want to contrast him with Tom Homan. This is cut 33. You want to hear a voice of reason? Listen to this. This is cut 33.
SPEAKER 16 :
I think the city of Minneapolis is on edge. I think the country is on edge right now. You say the investigation is ongoing. Investigations just started. Just started. You say you can’t comment on the video, which many Americans are seeing and reacting to.
SPEAKER 02 :
I’m not going to make a judgment call on one video when there’s 100 videos out there. I wasn’t on the scene. I’m not an officer that may have body cam video. I’d be… It would be unprofessional to comment on what I think happened in that situation. Let the investigation play out and hold people accountable based on the investigation.
SPEAKER 22 :
There you go. Right there. What can be said? I’m fine with it being investigated. I have no problem with that. Yeah, that’s common sense. Me looking at it right now, unless there is something else to be seen, I mean, this is entirely justified. This is self-defense. There’s no other way that it plays out. Well, he shouldn’t have been standing in front of a car. She shouldn’t have been blocking in ICE agents, you dumbasses. What are you talking about? She was the one blocking in ICE agents. Do people not understand this? I don’t get it. What is there that you don’t understand about this? She was blocking in ICE agents with her car. This is not hard. And then you have people like AOC doing everything that they can to incite this. This is cut 10.
SPEAKER 06 :
What we saw today was a criminal, a criminal murder a woman and shot her in the head while she was trying to escape for her life. And I think what we saw today was a manifestation of every American’s worst nightmare.
SPEAKER 09 :
Do you believe you should be arrested? The officer involved?
SPEAKER 06 :
I think what we saw was a murder today, and I think that we need, of course.
SPEAKER 04 :
You said that she was fleeing for her life. Do you know that, that she was fleeing?
SPEAKER 06 :
I think we saw this vehicle. And listen. She wasn’t fleeing. She blocked them in. Part of the due process is to allow an investigation of what transpired and what occurred.
SPEAKER 22 :
They say this. They pay lip service. Oh, we should have investigated. They don’t mean that the way Tom Homan means it. They don’t really care. They don’t care. She wasn’t murdered. She was trying to flee and escape for her life. She blocked them in. She was the one who, according to witnesses, was stalking them all day. All day. If you would like the receipts on that, this is why you need to sign up for my newsletter at Substack, because those people got that this morning. All day. So the lead car blocking them in and then the moment they’re going to arrest her, she decides to run them over. entirely justifiable partners that will bring you the program. It is the folks over at Burna Gun. I’m always going to carry. I tell you guys this all the time. I’m always going to carry and I have no problems doing so. There are times when your rights are abridged, whether it is local, municipal, private property restrictions that make it to where you cannot defend yourself against the crime that that You know, the elected officials in those areas refuse to protect you from. And you can carry a stun gun. That’s fine. It’s like one or two rounds. But have you considered a Berna gun? I mean, it’s called a Berna gun, but it’s not a gun. The Berna CL, which stands for compact launcher, is roughly about the size of an iPhone, like a Pro Max, right? Like a 17, 16, 17 Pro Max. And made all here in the U.S. of A. But it shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. Now, I mentioned the stun guns that have one or two rounds. The Berna CL particularly. has a 15 round shot capacity per cartridge. And so you have multiple opportunities there to avail yourself of a threat and get to safety. And I think that it is always good to diversify your weapons array. I mean, you got rifles, you got pistols, you got blades, you got all kinds of stuff. This just fits into that. It’s not a replacement for anything. It is an addition, especially when you are denied your God-given, constitutionally affirmed Second Amendment rights. Also a good idea for college kids who live alone, but yet they’re not old enough to carry. They need to be able to protect themselves as well. It’s the Burna CL Compact Launcher.

I think some comics go the route of… I’m going to just say F Trump every all the time or that’s their comedy. And I think, well, now a little bit you’re being co-opted because you’re so angry. You’ve been lulled. It’s like a siren leading you into the rocks. You’ve been lulled into just saying F Trump, F Trump, F Trump. Screw this guy. You know, and I think. you’ve now put down your best weapon which is being funny and you’ve exchanged it for anger and that person or any person like that would say well things are too serious now i don’t need to be funny and i think well if you’re a comedian you always need to be funny you just have to find a way And you just have to find a way to channel that anger into a way that is because good art will always be a great weapon, will always be a perfect weapon against power. But if you’re just screaming and you’re just angry, you’ve lost your best tool in the toolbox.
SPEAKER 22 :
He makes such a great point there that they gave up their best tool. their best weapon. Exactly. And he’s right. I mean, that’s why they’re there because they were funny. They had a gift at humor. And they decided to give it up because they wanted to be a bunch of miserable harpies about it. They decided that They could not control the emotion that went along with their political zealotry, and so they decided to sacrifice their one true talent. That’s a great point that he makes there, Conan O’Brien. Conan O’Brien has never been – he’s said things I don’t agree with, but he’s never been personal.
SPEAKER 15 :
He’s never been politically heavy either. Malicious.
SPEAKER 22 :
And he’s right. Being able to be funny is a skill, and that is a very powerful weapon. Ridicule is more powerful than just plain criticism. It is so powerful. He understands this. And I feel like a lot of his contemporaries are either too self-absorbed or too stupid to understand it. So that’s a big, big thing. We have a Democrat reaction to all of this stuff. And I’m just done entertaining this idea that people have the right to block people in and run them over with their cars. I’m done with it. Now, if you if some of these jokers out there want to make that the national thing, I’m coming for you with my car. How about that? Since you endorse it. Let me just pick you off the street. How about that? Is that what these people endorse? I’m so tired of this moron, moronic hot takes from these people. Honestly, I don’t feel you have no right to entertain these idiots, nor do I. They don’t deserve that that fraction of your attention. We’re going to get into some of the Democrat reaction also. We’ve got some economy stuff as well coming up.

SPEAKER 12 :
to prepare the Minnesota National Guard. We have soldiers in training and prepared to be deployed if necessary. I remind you, a warning order is a heads up for folks. And these National Guard troops are our National Guard troops. They’re teachers in your community. They’re business owners. They’re construction professionals. They are Minnesotans. Minnesota will not allow our community to be used as a prop in a national political fight. We will not take the bait. We will continue to update you, Minnesota, as we get more information. Now, I’d like to turn it over to Commissioner.
SPEAKER 22 :
What bait is he talking about? I mean, you had a mob that showed up and attacked a federal building. By the way, where’s that? I have that. I have so much here. If you guys what I’m going to do one day is take a picture of what I look at every day. So you can be like, oh, we get why she can’t find anything. She needs a bigger screen. But then I’m going to be. constantly like turning even more with it welcome back to the show by the way second hour of the program dana lash with you and uh you can uh the chats at rumble live stream it if you’re not watching 347 or listening terrestrially uh on uh youtube so i have this on here give me just a spare second because first off what bait what bait is he talking about being investigated i have no idea I don’t I don’t understand that. I legit don’t understand that. The I have this. OK, here it is. So in Minneapolis, you had another mob that that attacked a federal building. They marched to the Diana E. Murphy federal courthouse and were trying to force their way in and smashing up the windows and doors. Does that is what bait is he talking about? What bait? It sounds like these protesters are trying to bait. ICE to deal with it, because the reason why also the National Guard was deployed by the commander in chief is because you had these individuals that were attacking all of these federal office buildings everywhere. And that’s the National Guard has a duty. They have a you know, the executive has an obligation to defend federal workers and federal buildings. So they march. I would have used the water cannon on them. I know it’s icy out, but I still would have. They I mean, there’s video of it. They marched in and they were they were trying to bust everything up. uh they were trying to bust up uh uh all kinds of everything everything uh the revolving doors that has to be difficult to break the glass and revolving door because there’s a lot of panels of glass to break never thought about that before we don’t think like insurrectionists so that’s like a problem that i had not seen i actually there was a video on x where they were trying to do it but then the door got stuck on the glass that was broken and it wouldn’t they were it was having a hard time moving never thought about that did you get like Got to sweep that glass out of the way to break the next panel. I mean, I don’t want to give anybody tips, but it’s kind of a thing, right? That’s a bit of an issue there. That’s a bit of an issue. So I’m curious about this. What is he talking about? A mob showed up, attacked this federal building. We’ve seen this happen before in gosh seattle portland san francisco uh sacramento milwaukee everywhere democrats mobile chicago new york keep going should i keep going because there’s i can i can’t keep going there’s a lot they uh I mean, well, I guess we could say at least there’s no fire. I don’t know what Gwen Walsh is. She’s not gonna be able to smell any of the burning buildings. Now, Walsh said he’s he’s terrified that Trump’s going to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota. And he’s saying, I just I don’t know. I think that he has actually realized that he accidentally set up. a potential excuse to do that and send federal troops in Minnesota, Cain. I feel like that he realized it a little too late.
SPEAKER 15 :
I don’t think they understand what triggers the Insurrection Act. Trump just can’t go out there and declare it. It has to be predicated upon something. Yes, and that is the normal course of law enforcement is not working because of resistance or because of some sort of uncooperative
SPEAKER 22 :
And for people who don’t know, it was passed, like, what, in the early 1800s? Yes. And the president has the authority to send federal troops in case of, like, rebellion, domestic violence, insurrection, you know, Insurrection Act. So that’s why. So him going out there, Tim Walz going out there with all of these other previous soundbites saying the stuff that he did, I don’t think that he necessarily realized that he – just sort of gave the okay for that. He’s giving, you know, a predicate for it. And that’s an insurrection is the statutory term for that. So, I mean, I… The Supreme Court had held – let me pull this up – that – and this was just very recently – that POTUS could only use the Insurrection Act to assist ICE in enforcing immigration law. That was on December 23rd, where SCOTUS denied his request to stay a lower court order in Illinois that the guard – could not be used as a protective force in and around. This was in Chicago for dealing with enforcing federal immigration law that had been pending for like a couple of months. And so that was on December 23rd. And I mean, now with all of everything that’s happening, I mean, it has to be insurrection, domestic violence, conspiracy. I’m trying to think of all these other words that go along with it. So, I mean, Walsh in his not that… But in another, he basically did that. He set it up. Yes. He set it up as an insurrection.
SPEAKER 15 :
And it’s clearly unknowingly because he’s not happy about the idea of the insurrection act because he’s dumb.
SPEAKER 22 :
He is one of the, can I just say, I’m not trying to be mean. I know we’ve said that Poot Booty Juice is dumb and all these other people. I really do think he is one of the dumbest people to ever. How did he get this far? First off, how did he how desperate were Democrats that this was the VP, that that was Kamala Harris’s VP pick? Knowing all of this stuff in the background. I feel like that little monkey puppet that’s looking at the side. Like, like, yeah, it’s boy, I’m telling you. But he it’s like he because he already said that he was essentially I think he used the words war with the federal government. And then he wanted the National Guard to come out and I guess face off against what he called rogue federal agents. Uh, yeah, I don’t, I don’t, I don’t know. You don’t get a, you don’t get to say no on law enforcement. That’s not, and also in the street is not when that stuff is dictated. Look, I’m going to tell you there, I, I have been at protests before I, cause I came from street protests. You guys, if you don’t know that about me, when I got started helping to found, uh, I was one of the original founders of the second Tea Party movement. We were in the streets doing crazy stuff. The Joker meme with Claire McCaskill, that was us. We were out there putting handbills in newspapers. We were out there doing all kinds of crazy stuff, really asymmetrical grassroots efforts. And I we crash protest. We would go whenever the left had protests. We would go and stand behind and do very unsavory things on camera so that they couldn’t use any of the sound bites. They couldn’t use any of the footage. We made it to where they almost had to have a blackout because they couldn’t get any coverage of it. We were really aggressive. And there were times when I was at protests and I had law enforcement. I had one cop tell me and he was not happy. And I wasn’t in the street. I was literally my heel was touching the sidewalk. And he was like, if I catch you one more time getting off that sidewalk, he said, I’m going to bust your ass and take you to jail. That’s what he told me verbatim. And I’m like, yes, sir, Mr. Officer, sir. But that’s not the time that you litigate that. You know what I mean? That’s not the time that you fight that. Because I definitely did not want my A-double snakes, quote-unquote, busted and sent to jail. Because I had to go home and make dinner for my kids. So, you know, you’ve got to weigh it out. So I’ve been there. I have literally been there in all of this before. That being said, it really is amazing to see the… Way that this is that they just they just want to disregard law enforcement. They just want to disregard. That’s not when you when you contest that stuff. They’re just so used to not having consequences. I think about and that’s true. Think about it. The. Rioting and burning of buildings and all that with BLM, which we’ve talked about the setting fire to the church. You had the vice president of the United States at the time promoting the bail fund for the people who are arrested for arson. No joke. They are used to not having consequences. Do you know the number of charges that were dropped and all of that as well? It was astronomical. They’re used to not having any kind of consequences. They are used to being given cover by Democrats and Democrats are used to being given cover by the more volatile street activists. It’s a very weird, incestuous relationship. It’s definitely quid pro quo there. So you got all these lawmakers saying, oh, well, it was murder. It was murder. It was murder. They are trying to do everything that they can to set Minneapolis on fire. And a lot of these people that are really going for these violent confrontations, they are eager to get their name in the press. They like the attention and the opportunity that that kind of coverage gets them. That’s one of the reasons you can’t tell me that’s not why that woman had her partner standing outside on the sidewalk recording her as she was driving through ICE agents. I don’t think that the partner knew that it was going to get to that extent. But I think that that and I don’t think it was I don’t think it was premeditated. I do not. But I do think that she got really ticked off and decided she was just going to drive into these agents. I do absolutely think that. So all of it there there. Who has the responsibility for de-escalation? I think it’s the the elected leaders, the elected officials in Minneapolis, people like Jacob, who’s not helping, by the way. Listen to this. This is cut three. This is Mayor Jacob Fry, the guy who looks like a hostage when he was eating Somali food, trying to make all the Somali fraudsters happy. Listen to this.
SPEAKER 17 :
The narrative that ICE is spinning immediately after this was that this was purely self-defense and that the act by the victim was some sort of domestic terrorism. That, and I’ll say it again, is bulls**t. That is bulls**t. The way they’ve been conducting themselves is also bulls**t.
SPEAKER 22 :
Yeah, he needs to, absolutely, he needs to learn a new cuss word. I mean, you can see it, the tire, she literally hit him with her car. Yes. She gunned it and hit him with her car. This was after she was using, she was the lead vehicle, according to witnesses, that we played last hour. In fact, let’s play it again real quick. Let’s play. Yeah, yeah, yeah, go ahead. This is cut 13. Go ahead. Go ahead and play this. 13. 13 again. Yeah, just refresh.
SPEAKER 04 :
Her out of there because she was the main car leading the protest is my understanding. I talked to another guy who was driving behind her, but she was very successful in blocking traffic. She was doing what she was set out to do, and so they wanted to get her the hell out of there. Yeah.
SPEAKER 13 :
So it looked like she was impeding ICE vehicles.
SPEAKER 04 :
Definitely. Yeah. That was her goal.
SPEAKER 22 :
Yeah. The witnesses who were there were saying, yeah, that was her goal. Absolutely. That was the goal. That was what she was trying to do. And you can see it. I think it would have been worse had she not spun out. Because you can even see the officer sliding on some of the ice there without being near the vehicle.
SPEAKER 15 :
If she got traction at that moment, she would have definitely ran over that cop without a doubt. Like literally used him as a speed bump.
SPEAKER 22 :
Yeah. That was an act of God that there was ice there. That was an act of God. I got a lot more because we’re also going to get into – I’ve got a number of other things to get into. The latest on the fraud. And I really want to remind everybody they are trying to use this as a way to distract from that fraud in Minnesota. They are absolutely trying to do that. I also have a case of Islamism. Imagine a guy. This is a story that I saw a couple of days ago and nobody’s been really talking about it. An individual. who uh decided he was apparently a recruit in nypd and it is a requirement to salute the flag in new york police nypd and the guy who’s an islamist did not want to and uh so there there’s a i don’t even know why it’s a debate but apparently there’s been a debate over that we’re going to discuss that we’re also going to discuss uh the zoomer waffen and the latest with graper inc
SPEAKER 15 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 22 :
Look, if there’s any fight worth having, over gravy is it. All right, KFC, but I’m not saying stab people. A KFC worker got stabbed because a customer attacked in a dispute over gravy. The stabber claimed the KFC employee was calling him names and disrespecting him before the fight. Oh, boy. Oh, my. It was in Vegas. It was Las Vegas, Kentucky Fried Chicken. Multiple stab wounds. James Carter, 48. Gerald Carter, 32, were arrested, charged with attempted murder because apparently they got into a big old fight over gravy. And it led to someone getting called names and being disrespected over gravy. Okay, well, their gravy is delicious. So just, you know, just putting that in perspective, all right? Yeah. Rob Reiner’s son smiled eerily in court as his lawyer withdrew from the case sensationally, claiming that he was given no choice. Man, this is going to be wild. Apparently, it looks like the family is pulling financial support from his legal battle. So the lawyer’s not getting paid, so he can’t continue. That makes sense. I mean, would you really want to fund your brother’s defense after he killed your parents? No, I don’t think so. A man live-streamed his own death after paying viewers… to egg him on. This is the depravity of clickbait culture, by the way. A streamer tackled what they called a live challenge involving cocaine and alcohol for a private group of paying viewers. Sergio Ramos was found kneeling in his bedroom, unresponsive and cold to the touch. He apparently did a whole bunch of cocaine and drank a whole bunch of energy drink and a bottle of whiskey. Yeah, that’ll do it. That’s unfortunate. And apparently no one online intervened. I don’t know. Stick with us. We’ve got more in store next.
SPEAKER 14 :
Keep your finger on the pulse with the Dana Show podcast, delivering timely news with insightful analysis. Whenever you want, straight to you on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts.
SPEAKER 22 :
Coming up, we’re going to talk about Trump going after institutional homebuyers with our friend Carol Roth. That’s coming up in our third hour, just maybe an hour away. But in the meantime, we’ve been covering this, all of the fallout from that shooting that took place yesterday when we were discussing the whole fallout with the ICE involved shooting in Minneapolis and the woman who ran over hit an ICE agent with her vehicle. It’s all on video. It’s been slowed down. It’s been zoomed in. There are multiple angles, multiple different recordings. Even Jonathan Turley, who’s always pretty cautious in this stuff, is saying, yeah, it really looks like this guy was completely justified. There have been, you know, tons of independent, you know, not really partisans out there saying, yeah, this looks really justified. And when you get the witness statements, which we’ve played on air. And if you’ve missed any of that, you can also go back to the podcast and follow up on anything that you may have missed in our previous hour and a half of broadcast today. And you can check it out. You know, yeah, kind of, I mean, the witnesses were saying she was the lead car in the vehicle portion of the protest, which involved blocking in ICE agents physically with their vehicles. And so that’s why, now that explains why the partner, her partner was recording all of it, standing to the side, because it didn’t make sense at first. I’m like, well, why is that? Why is then she just not in the vehicle with her? Well, now that kind of makes sense. They were trying to create a scene and they needed… She was going to record it. I mean, that’s how people get clicks anymore. It doesn’t help when you have elected leaders that keep escalating this. De-escalation should be key here. Following the law should be key. But Minnesota is also ground zero for this massive story of taxpayer fraud. Billions upon billions of dollars that have been stolen from taxpayers through these fake daycare schemes, fake medical transport schemes. One of the I think it was the lunch program that they had developed that was supposed to feed kids. School lunches during covid for the ones that were concerned about kids eating well when they weren’t in school for those who were from a tougher economic status. That was a two hundred and thirty five million dollar program that was entirely fraudulent. And from that program, you had the attorney general of Minnesota, Keith Ellison, who got a kickback. You had the mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Fry, who got a kickback. Ilhan Omar, all these people. So now you can see why Democrats desperately are trying to foment a distraction. Otherwise, there are Democrats that are going to be going to jail over this. There’s no reason there. I mean, it’s that bad. And so that’s why you have Tim Walz who’s out here. I feel like that’s why we were talking about this a little earlier that Democrats I think Tim Walz is a very unintelligent guy. I don’t think that he is bright. I don’t think that he is in a political acumen. And we kept… We were talking on break. Why is he trying so hard to… Give a predicate for the invocation of the Insurrection Act. It doesn’t make sense. Right. But then when you think about it, and especially with this latest soundbite that we’re getting ready to play, maybe they are that desperate in need of a distraction. They would rather have that. than be paraded on camera in handcuffs for one of the biggest, maybe the biggest taxpayer fraud scheme in American history. This is the latest from him. This is when, well, he keeps going down that path. Listen.
SPEAKER 12 :
our history. When things looked really bleak, it was Minnesota first that held that line for the nation on that July 3rd, 1863. And I think now we may be in that moment that the nation’s looking to us to hold the line on democracy.
SPEAKER 22 :
What? What do you mean hold the line on democracy? What democracy are you talking about? ICE is there deporting people. The National Guard has been protecting the federal agents and the federal facilities that left-leaning rioters have been attacking in Minneapolis. They busted up at a courthouse again last night. broke all the glass doors, broke all the glass windows, were trying to invade it, all of that. And then you have ICE agents that were there apprehending repeat offenders who already violated one law by entering the country illegally, and then they continued to violate law. ICE agents were there upholding the rule of law, which isn’t that part of a republic? Is everyone is equal before the law and everyone is equal in terms of penalty beneath it when it is violated. So I don’t know what he’s and we voted for that. So that’s the democracy aspect of it. Trying to thwart that is the opposite of the Democrat process, the democratic process in this republic. which we don’t have a democracy. We have a republic that employs democratic processes, which is why we have some parliamentary moves in Congress and some not. So it’s a mishmash of all of the best of all of these systems that our founders so brilliantly wove together. So what I hear Tim Walz asserting is actually standing against these democratic processes in this free republic. He is trying to undermine what the majority of Americans voted for, which is legal accountability and enforcement of law. That’s what I hear from him. But I also think he is so desperate to avoid accountability in this massive fraud scheme. Massive. millions, hundreds of millions in some programs. Overall, we’re looking at billions. We’re looking at it happening in Ohio. It’s in Texas. It’s in everywhere. And I think that it is incredibly widespread. And yes, it is majority people who are new here in America. When you consider that of the fraction of people so far that have been convicted in these major taxpayer fraud schemes, Of the 98, 98 convictions, 94 were Somali. Kane, that sounds like a majority. 94 out of 98. That is a majority. And they’re all people who weren’t born here? That sounds like a majority. When we talk about the Somali diaspora, that’s what we’re talking about. But I do think that he wants to invoke it. I actually, maybe he’s trying to invoke this now because he wants… That he doesn’t want to go be marched in handcuffs. I don’t get it. I don’t get it. And then, of course, you have this cut 20. This Somali man is threatening local officials. Basically, it sounds like he’s threatening elected officials saying to stop talking about the fraud. Listen, cut 20.
SPEAKER 20 :
My name is Mohammed. I’m speaking today on behalf of the Somali community in Lewiston. Some of you sitting here today, we voted for you. We elected you to protect our community interest, not create a division or go after one elected member from our community. If this narrative continues, our community will be forced to re-examine, our relationship or political relationship, including our relationship with the Democratic Party and who will be voting in the future. This is not a threat.
SPEAKER 22 :
But it is, though. This is not the threat, but it is a threat. It’s exactly a threat. I mean, that’s the big thing. So what are some of the big podcasters talking about? I’m sure they’re all over this story, aren’t they? Let’s play it. Aren’t they all over this story? Let’s play cut 23. Let’s just see if they’re focusing on these very important stories as well. This is cut 23, please.
SPEAKER 03 :
He’s very interesting and he’s very smart. And on a lot of things, there is value to be derived from that guy’s messaging. I’m sorry, but he actually has a lot of things he talks about that you’re like, oh, this is not a bad point about our country.
SPEAKER 22 :
So that is and I’m friends with both of them, friendly with both of them, Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson. And they’re discussing Nick Fuentes. Oh, and that was just yesterday, wasn’t it? I mean, it seems like there’s a lot of stuff happening that apparently they’re not talking about. That’s kind of interesting. I’m curious as to what is the value to be derived from Nick Fuentes? What specifically are the points that he’s making that are any good? Is it when he talks about how he effed TPUSA and then he gyrated on the camera like he was physically sodomizing it? Is that what he’s talking about? Is that the fair point that he’s making? Or is it when he’s talking about how much he loves Stalin and admires Stalin? Is that a fair point? Is that one that people find community with? Or when he praises Hitler and says Hitler was a cool guy. Hitler actually, he was a weak fag. That’s what Hitler was. And he was horrible at strategy, which is why he got his backside handed to him multiple times. And he got fooled by inflatable tanks because of the ghost army. But whatever. So… Really? We’re supposed to find great insight from a gay Nazi twink who talks about how much he loves Stalin and only understands just like the top layer, the top foam of history. OK, I mean, I guess anybody will do anything for clicks now. Good night. Or what about maybe I don’t know, maybe it’s later on. Let’s be fair. Maybe it’s later on in that discussion. Let’s go ahead and play cut 21. Go ahead.
SPEAKER 03 :
And then came Candace Owens. And she really drives people crazy. She drives them crazy. They were very angry that I didn’t call her out for what she said about Israel possibly being involved with Charlie Kirk. Well, I didn’t call her out because I was totally fine with those questions being raised and still am. I’m sorry, but I am. I’m sick of this bullshit. I am allowed to have questions about what if anyone aligned with Israel or from Israel might have had to do with Charlie’s death.
SPEAKER 22 :
That’s a fake out. No one’s questioning anybody’s speech. They’re questioning the logic behind it. And a failure to be able to logically defend the motive. That’s not anyone calling anybody out for using their free speech. They’re just pointing out that it seems silly and anti-Semitic for the sake of anti-Semitism. She wasn’t questioning either. She was just making declarations that were crazy, kooky and were completely and utterly debunked. Like, I mean, do we want to talk about all the plane stuff? Because she apparently couldn’t even read flight paths. I mean, it’s kind of embarrassing. And that’s probably why nobody’s listening to her podcast anymore. People listen to it a lot in the beginning, Candace Owens’ stuff, because it’s like, you know, you drive slowly past a car wreck or whatever. For the same reason people watch the Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia. You were just wondering how far this nuttiness is going to go. But then, you know, after a while, especially when you fail to deliver receipts, that interest wanes. And criticizing that is not the same thing as criticizing someone’s speech on it and pointing out that someone doesn’t. doesn’t, I mean, regularly call out and isn’t consistent in this. And I think that’s the big thing. I don’t understand why people go after, for instance, Ted Cruz, if they don’t like something that he says, while proclaiming no enemies on the right, and that’s okay. But criticizing someone like Owens or Fuentes is apparently, that’s not allowed to happen. Because that’s the gatekeeping that’s happening. You’re being told that you’re not allowed to criticize the backwoods single-celled almost incestual product of thinking that is demonstrated by Owens and Fuentes on their podcast. You’re not allowed to criticize that. And if you criticize the people that platform it or that air it, and they don’t even do their due diligence of asking tough questions about it, you’re accused of trying to cancel that individual or control their speech. People are just simply, we’re just simply pointing out the inconsistency And the hypocrisy of criticizing some and not criticizing everyone or pretending that you’re a hard ass and that you ask tough questions. But then when you have someone that called your friend’s wife a jeet and you don’t even ask them about that, that seems like that’s cowardice. That’s not journalism. That’s being a female copulatory organ. that is being afraid that you’re going to lose clicks from that audience. And you’re being too, you’re, you’re being a digital prostitute and you’re too afraid of losing that, that, that digital share, that slice of the pie for audience. People are talking about the inconsistency and it is, uh, I find it to be an obscenely intellectual dodge to complain that somehow asking for consistency is the same thing as trying to cancel someone. I mean, people need to stop flattering themselves. No one is calling to cancel anyone. They’re simply remarking accurately on the inconsistency and not asking hard questions of everybody. I feel like that that’s pretty safe. I mean, I don’t have to depend on anybody. I don’t have to depend on Qatari investors. I don’t have to depend on, you know, business partners or anybody else in order to make my bottom line. And I would never debase myself by trying to pander to the audience of a Nazi twink in order to make my daily bread so I don’t have to play those reindeer games, so to speak. So I just think it’s just completely unfair to present a refusal of consistent practice as it pertains to hard questioning as being canceling. It’s not. It’s not that at all. People should know better. You know, speaking as friends.
SPEAKER 15 :
It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.
SPEAKER 22 :
Well, this man’s pretty inventive. A Lee County man. This is in Fort Myers, Florida. Lee County man. He’s an elderly gent. He’s accused of stealing an electric Walmart shopping cart after driving it around a Circle K. It happened on January 2nd. Deputies were dispatched to a Circle K in reference to a trespass, and they met Patrick Gillette, 70. He was driving around an electric shopping cart with Walmart markings on it. They placed him under arrest, charging with possession of a shopping cart. The cart was returned to Walmart. First off, how do you just get they’re not very fast. So how do you just like drive it off? And why would you want to? Did he need like a mobility scooter? I don’t know. I feel like there’s more that I want to learn out of this. But still, anyway, I just think it’s kind of interesting. Also, this Florida man was accused of rummaging through a fire truck and stealing a firefighter jacket and their gear. Edgar Barrios. He… 38 years old, entered a fire station, brandished a large metal pipe over his head like he was going to hit somebody with it, and then ultimately jumped into this fire truck and began rummaging through it. He was promptly taken into custody. Probably because it’s a fire department. There’s probably cops there. Not the brightest idea. Stick with us. Third hour on the way. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. Top of this third hour. And our lovely friend Carol Roth will be joining us at the bottom of the hour to talk about that order from POTUS against institutional outfits, buying up, gobbling up houses like BlackRock, etc. So she’s going to dive into that with us. But welcome back. Don’t forget chats at Rumble stream at YouTube 347 DirecTV. But YouTube’s where it’s at. And the podcast, if you’ve missed anything, you can go and subscribe to the podcast and catch up on all the good stuff. All right. So the one thing that I’m pulling up a number of things. So the vice president came out and said that the administration is appointing a new assistant attorney general to prosecute fraud. And they’re going to start off by focusing on Minnesota. And then that’s going to spread across the nation. I do think it’s interesting that It was Nick Shirley that came out with this and not Doge. I do think that was very interesting. I’m going to come back to that in a moment. But this is literally from what a couple like five minutes ago, the announcement of a new assistant attorney general. Listen.
SPEAKER 07 :
If you’re a young parent struggling to afford childcare in the United States of America, there are programs that we have to make it easier for your kids to get in daycare, for your kids to get in preschool. Those programs should go to American citizens, not be defrauded by Somali immigrants and others. Make it hard for you to get the access to the resources you need. But number two, making it easier for people who shouldn’t even be in this country to fleece the United States and our taxpayers to begin with. We have actually activated a major interagency task force to make it possible to get to the heart of this fraud. We have Department of Agriculture resources that are focused on SNAP fraud so that people who need food benefits can get them, but illegal aliens and other fraudsters don’t. We have over 1,500 subpoenas that the Department of Justice has issued to get to the heart of the fraud ring. We’ve done almost 100 indictments, mostly Somali immigrants, but also a few others. And of course, we’re looking in with broad investigatory authority to a number of the instances of wrongdoing that we’ve seen in Minneapolis. But we also want to expand this. We know that the fraud isn’t just happening in Minneapolis. It’s also happening in states like Ohio. It’s happening in states like California. And so what we’re doing in order to help coordinate this remarkable interagency effort from the Trump administration, but also to make sure that we prosecute the bad guys and do it as swiftly and efficiently as possible, is we are creating a new assistant attorney general position who will have nationwide jurisdiction over the issue of fraud. Now of course that person’s efforts will start and focus primarily in Minnesota, but it is going to be a nationwide effort because unfortunately the American people have been defrauded in a very nationwide way.
SPEAKER 22 :
Yeah, and a very nationwide way to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars. You have veterans that can’t get the help that they need, but you have members of the Somali diaspora, people who weren’t even born in this nation or did they ever serve, who are literally taking millions of dollars of taxpayer money and they’re buying things like Porsches or waterfront property or they’re taking luxury vacations for weeks on end. These are just some of the things that were discovered by the initial investigation. So all of this is incredibly important. Also, I don’t think we’re going to be getting a lot of cooperation from Minnesota on this, which necessitate and necessitates the appointment of an assistant AG on this. Like, for instance, with the ice shooting, it’s been reported from the Associated Press that Minnesota investigators have already claimed that they can’t access evidence after the fatal shooting. And the FBI is refusing to work jointly on the probe. And so the feds are not cooperating with local law enforcement because it was announced that local law enforcement would not cooperate with federal law enforcement. So local law enforcement there, you have all of these, you know, appointed chiefs and all of this stuff and other lawmakers in Minnesota that are refusing to cooperate with any kind of federal investigation. So, wow. This is all crazy, craziness. And they don’t want antagonists completely misrepresenting evidence and leaking it before the investigation is complete, which is also what they’re trying to fight. Just wild. It is wild. And the other thing that came out is apparently they it was confirmed that Minneapolis police had received a stand down order on making arrests. This was prior to the shooting. They received a stand down order on making arrests that would enrage. This is from Nick Sodor, apparently, and he confirmed it. They were told that kind of you’re on your own. Wow. It sounds like a lot. Remember Muriel Bowser stand on order when there were all the riots and that ultimately culminated in that church being set on fire in Washington, D.C.? So Minnesota is having a lot of problems right now. And you’re going and that’s if they don’t want to have the federal oversight, then maybe they should not behave in a manner to necessitate federal oversight. That seems pretty obvious, right? Right. All we’re asking is, hey, can you not steal taxpayer dollars? We all work really, really hard, and we all pay a butt-ton in taxes. Can you not steal our money and use it to buy luxury vehicles and designer clothing and Rolex watches? I’m just running down the list of the publicly reported things in the initial investigation that it was discovered these Somali fraudsters had purchased. Sports cars, luxury villas. Somebody went and stayed at the Maldives, those… Maldives are islands that are out literally between Africa and India. It’s where all the rich Europeans go. And it’s like Bora Bora out there. And they have all of those, what do they call them, little huts over the water. And somebody went out there and stayed for like a month. One of these fraudsters went out there and stayed. And it was like a 20-something thousand dollar a night like villa that they had because it had a chef and all this stuff and stayed up. I don’t even do the math on that. Yeah. Waterfront villas, all kinds of property, sports cars, designer goods, everything designer, jewelry, watches, all kinds of stuff. That’s what they were spending money on. You know, the fake daycare centers and all that. That’s what they were spending their money on. Wow. Yeah. Rolls Royces, all of it. That’s insane. And then you have vets here that are struggling just to get the care that they need after serving their country. I just find it disgusting. Hardworking, taxpaying Americans that have to kill themselves with both parents working a job and, you know, having latchkey kids because they got to afford all this for the Somali diaspora. I mean, you’re turning people into serfs. We don’t have a free and fair economic system in the United States. It’s a quasi-form of feudalism. I know Tucker Carlson has a fetish for that. I kind of pretty much have it here in the way that we’re structured and the way that we’re paying for all this stuff for these people. It’s asinine. I personally am a lot more hardcore on this than I think most 99% of people listening are. I think the death penalty should be on the table for this. I think it’s a capital punishment offense. We’re talking hundreds of billions of dollars. You’re talking about lives that have been ruined to afford tax burdens levied upon people under threat of penalty that is always enforced on them, but never against foreigners that come to the United States and take advantage of all the loopholes and all of the lack of oversight in the system. The fact that this was allowed to go for as long as it did, and to this extent, to this dollar amount, shows you that we pay way too much in tax. Our whole system needs to be obliterated. Absolutely. It is it is embarrassing and it is shameful and it is a betrayal of this republic. And on what we the very premise on that we were founded upon. So, yeah, I absolutely do think it’s a capital punishment offense because it’s so grievous. And I think that it needs to be they need to have it needs to be a lesson needs to be made. There needs to be a really good deterrence. And I think that would send a strong message. And then everyone else needs to be deported. And then I don’t want anybody. I don’t want any other no immigration from Somalia from here on out right now. And anybody who took part in it. None. Everybody should be deported. Everybody should be arrested. That’s I mean, I’m hardcore about this. I’m done. I’m done. There’s no excuse for it. And all the people who are defending this stuff forfeit your entire income to make up for it then. This is why you don’t want me in elected office, because I would force you to do it. I glad we all with the one ring, except I admit it. So it enrages me. It enrages me.
SPEAKER 15 :
What I do enjoy, though, is this administration in particular doesn’t mind pushing back in the ways they’re supposed to. And I think Juan has this ready. Our VP continued when asked by the media about Tim Walz’s rhetoric over the National Guard. And this is what the VP had to say.
SPEAKER 24 :
We may be in that moment now. Can you comment on his rhetoric and Mayor Jacob Fry and whether they want to see unrest in Minneapolis?
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, that’s very tough rhetoric from a guy who just quit because his fraudulent activities have been uncovered. Look, Tim Walz is a joke. His entire administration has been a joke. The idea that he’s some sort of freedom fighter, he’s not. He’s a guy who has enabled fraud and maybe, in fact, has participated in fraud. That’s what this new assistant attorney general position is going to find out. I don’t care what Tim Walz says. I care about getting to the bottom of this fraud for the American people. And I care about enforcing the nation’s immigration laws. That’s what we’re going to stay focused on.
SPEAKER 22 :
And that’s why they’re having such a fit over the shooting that took place yesterday. It’s not disrespectful to say if you don’t want to get shot, then don’t try to hit an ICE agent. And spare me your Zapruder level ridiculousness. I am not entertaining this idiocy. I’ve seen all the videos. I’ve seen every angle. I’ve seen all of it. We played the witness statement. I’m going to play this one more time. Can I have cut 13, please? We’re going to play it every hour. Go ahead. If you missed it the first two hours, here it is again.
SPEAKER 04 :
They clearly wanted her out of there because she was the main car leading the protest, is my understanding. I talked to another guy who was driving behind her. But she was very… She was very successful in blocking traffic. She was doing what she was set out to do. And so they wanted to get her the hell out of there. Yeah.
SPEAKER 13 :
So it looked like she was impeding ICE vehicles.
SPEAKER 04 :
Definitely, yeah. That was her goal.
SPEAKER 22 :
So she was blocking in ICE agents. So they had the people on the ground, which included her partner, and her partner was recording all of this. And then you had her being the lead car to block in all these ICE agents. So spare me this BS that this was just some broad who went to Kroger and was on her way back. No. I’ll be more forceful than everybody else. Yes, it’s sad that someone lost their lives. Don’t be a deadbeat parent and choose violence over your kids. Don’t be a deadbeat parent and choose yeeting yourself and your SUV into a crowd of ICE agents that you stalked all day and you’re trying to impede as they’re going out apprehending people who are repeat offenders who entered illegally and then kept committing crimes. I mean, if anything, it’s suicide by cop. Don’t press the damn gas pedal. That’s why she’s dead today. I’m not doing all this nonsense with cause and effect with some of you asshats. I’m not doing it. I’m so done with this. We’re done with people stopping cars. We’re done with people impeding. We’re done with all of it. And it’s all a distraction from all of us being robbed blind. by Minnesota Democrats and the Somali diaspora up there. Of the 98 convictions, currently 94 are Somali. So spare me your, but, but, but, I don’t want to hear it. I don’t want to hear it. You violent fascists. Stop being deadbeats. Stop being burdens on the American public. Stop being violent. I get that you guys get off on it. And that’s the thing that you just stay awake at night and you salivate over. I get it. Stop it. Get help. You need it. But we’re done. Buy the ticket. Take the blank and ride. Done. We got more on the way. Carol Roth is going to be joining us.
SPEAKER 15 :
And now all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 22 :
All right, so we’re still talking about 3i Atlas. It’s approaching the sun. A new image now shows that it’s glowing green.
SPEAKER 15 :
It’s glowing?
SPEAKER 22 :
Green.
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh, God.
SPEAKER 22 :
It’s glowing green. I’m just saying. You know what? Maybe it is like an alien space turd. And they got close to us. And then they saw how we were so idiotic. And they’re like, nope. No. They’re doomed. I wouldn’t stop by either. Let me be honest with you. Let’s see here. I think I did the wrong headlines. Did I do the wrong headlines? I think I did. Hold up. Let me go back to my correct ones. Apologies. So… Apparently, U.S. population growth is projected to slow further than it has already slowed. They said the population is forecast to start shrinking after 2056. So I want all the people that I like to have more kids and all the people who think things like driving into ICE agents is okay. to not have kids. You know what I’m saying? Like, I’m totally fine with that. I’m totally fine with that kind of a setup. But, yeah, we need to not… And you know what? The answer to this isn’t to pay people to have kids, because that’s welfare, and we already have that for these… quote-unquote bush league compassionate conservatives that we have in the republican party already it’s actually to make it economically better in the united states so that you don’t desperately have to have two full-time incomes in order to support just a normal-sized american family so that people can afford everyday basic things and go on vacation every summer things like that right you don’t pay people to have kids you make the economy better for everybody that’s how you do it that’s the way to approach this Also, let’s see here. I got a couple of other things. A woman received a letter in the mail 72 years after it was sent. Yeah, 72 years after it was sent, she finally got it. That sounds like how mail works here in Texas because I just got a Christmas card that a member of my family sent like weeks ago. Not kidding. Coming up, Carol Roth on the move by POTUS to ban institutional investors from buying single-family homes. Stick with us.
SPEAKER 14 :
Make some common sense of the crazy headlines with the Dana Show podcast. Your on-the-go guide for getting up to speed on today’s most important stories. Subscribe on YouTube, Apple, or your favorite podcast platform.
SPEAKER 18 :
One of the things that we’ve heard that the president wanted to potentially sign an executive order that would actually prevent big funds like a BlackRock or State Street or any of your competitors effectively from voting those shares on behalf of
SPEAKER 11 :
I’ve heard that rumor too.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, and what do you think of that?
SPEAKER 11 :
So let’s be clear, if that became a rule, if that became an executive order, that means foreigners will have more power voting in the United States. Say that again? If they disallowed index funds to vote at this moment, it means foreign investors would have a greater percent of the vote. Is that an outcome that we want? Two, it would put much more power with the activists. investing. I can tell you almost every CEO who approaches BlackRock of this is frightened of that outcome.
SPEAKER 22 :
So that is a Q&A there, this audio that we’re playing with Larry Fink over at BlackRock. And this also has to do with this proposal from POTUS to stop entities like BlackRock, too, from going in and buying up single family homes, which is interesting. And I I agree with it. But then at the same time, I’m like, oh, wait a minute. Are we going to have the government now tell businesses what to do? And it makes me feel weird. And then I don’t know what to do. So I immediately told Kane, I’m like, we need Carol. I need Carol Roth. She is the queen of amazing hair and also a recovering investment banker. And you can go and find her newsletter at carolroth.com slash news. And she joins us now. Happy New Year, my dear friend. So good to see you. I wanted to get your reaction to all this.
SPEAKER 23 :
Yeah, there are so many things to talk about. I’ll start with the second piece because it ties into the you will own nothing kind of genre.
SPEAKER 22 :
In her book, You Will Own Nothing, you need to go get it. Yes.
SPEAKER 23 :
Yeah. So the first thing is that a lot of people tend to confuse BlackRock, which is an asset manager who has ETFs, exchange traded funds, which are like mutual funds that you invest your money in. Let’s say you want to have a basket of tech stocks. You might invest in the BlackRock ETF, but they are not deploying capital generally directly into companies. It’s your money. They’re aggregating these companies for you and you’re investing in that ETF. It is different than a very confusingly named company that used to have a relationship with BlackRock that is called Blackstone. And Blackstone is the private equity firm that backs the companies that goes out and purchases single family homes and in many cases rents back the American dream to people. So we’re talking when we’re talking about the housing, we’re talking about Blackstone and companies like that. And what’s really staggering, Dana, is before 2010, there was basically none of this institutional professional capital in single family homes. It’s only after all of the Fed intervention and cheap money that allowed these companies to access money for basically nothing that they went in and said, well, you know, now the stock market’s run up. Where are we going to find returns? We’re going to find that in single-family homes. And now it’s become, you know, this financialized asset class instead of, you know, the place that we’re going and raising families and whatnot. So I have mixed feelings like you do about this. Certainly it’s an issue and, you know, they had gotten the capital in a way that really wasn’t fair. And so some sort of maybe temporary restriction or, or well thought out restriction that you have to let people have a chance to buy it first. And if nobody’s coming to the table, maybe then they can come to the table. But it needs to be really well thought out in order for it to make sense. The best thing that individuals can do is just not sell your home to a corporation. And the same thing with real estate agents. I know you want to make a buck, but it’s going to take that house out of stock forever and it’s going to end up hurting your industry and your ability to prosper in the future.
SPEAKER 22 :
That’s a great point because it’s a permanent thing. That’s forever. They hold on to it forever.
SPEAKER 23 :
Forever. And as they, and usually converting it to a rental property. So it’s not even like a flipper where, you know, they’re, they’ve sold it to somebody else. They are literally taking it and changing the use dynamic and not having it available for you to then put on your balance sheet as a, as an asset is something that you can own. I also think that the issue that we’re facing now can be solved with incentives. It can be solved by making mortgages assumable. It can be solved by getting rid of some of the zoning restrictions and creating more incentives for building affordable housing. So there are things on an incentive basis that we can do. And this is a demographic-driven problem. In 10 to 15 years, i think a lot of that housing stock is going to free up and then if you don’t have investors coming in and supporting the market you know there may be a separate problem down the road so i think we have to if we’re going to do something it needs to have a time limit it needs to be thoughtful and um you know we need to be very careful because it is a no good deed goes unpunished situation um even though i hate the fact that you have the These corporate, you know, kind of financialized companies that are coming in and buying things.
SPEAKER 22 :
You bring up a good point. We’re talking with our friend Carol Roth and her book, You Will Own Nothing, Your War with a New Financial World Order and How to Fight Back, where she dives into all of this, by the way. You make a good point in that not only are you you’re. you’re changing the purpose of that property that property is now not in the market the way that it would be traditionally but then also it is a choice it’s a choice that people can make that real estate agents can make and I get and you and I are I think feel the exact same way I mean is it To me, it sounds like the problem is not so bad that you have to have that federal intervention to make a determination as to what a business can or can’t do, especially when people still have the free will to determine how they want to sell their property.
SPEAKER 23 :
Yeah, I mean, at the end of the day, all of our problems start with people. And it goes to the first part of that clip that you played. And as much as I hate agreeing with Larry Fink- Oh, I’m sorry. Yeah, part of the issue is that when BlackRock, as I mentioned, they run these ETFs and they act as a proxy in many cases for individuals in terms of voting at the company level for boards of directors and company policy and anytime there’s a shareholder vote. Part of the reason they do this, and he’s not kidding about turning over the power to foreign individuals, it’s because when individuals get proxy statements and get voting on things that they need to do as a shareholder, most people don’t vote. I don’t know if you’ve ever gotten those notices in the mail, maybe from your brokerage firm, and so-and-so wants you to vote on the board of directors of this company, and you go, okay, and you throw it away. Well, if you actually took the time to do that, you wouldn’t need Larry Fink to be your proxy, and if you take away Larry Fink as your proxy, then China is going to be the proxy. So he is entirely correct. There should be the ability to opt out and to take that ownership of it. But, you know, what’s worse, BlackRock or China? I mean, maybe you could make an argument either way, but if you have the ability to take, you know, to have the agency and the freedom, I think that’s really the best interim solution. And BlackRock has, to just a tiny bit of credit to them, has allowed for you to, you know, make decisions to weigh in more on your votes. It’s still in categories, so I still don’t entirely love the way that they’ve broken it up. I think you should be able to opt out and be able to vote entirely on everything. But you need people to actually do it, and people are lazy. And so at the end of the day, if you sell your house to a Blackstone-owned company, or if you’re a real estate agent that engages in this, or you’re not voting your proxy, really at the end of the day, the problem is you, and we shouldn’t be looking to the government for solving the problem of you.
SPEAKER 22 :
Oh, you shouldn’t look to the government to solve the problem of you. That’s the soundbite right there. I feel like Carol’s next book that we’re all eager to buy. Talking with our friend Carol Roth. I wanted to ask you about this because you and Cain were having a little fun conversation, maybe a debate on break. So the U.S. trade gap is being reported as shrinking to the smallest since 2009. And then the trade deficit drops to, well, the way that it’s been described as the least terrible level since 2009. Are these I mean, how much do you bank on these? Because I feel like so much of this is I can’t. I’m trying to find a word. It just seems arbitrary. Like this is an arbitrary measure depending on where you put your worth. I don’t know.
SPEAKER 23 :
I think of all of the issues that we face as a nation. And I know some of your audience is not going to agree with me. And certainly the president does not agree with me. But the trade deficit is not one of those areas where I get very concerned about if you if you think about like us versus Vietnam, where, you know, the average income, something like four thousand dollars a year. Like, of course, we’re not like exporting, you know, Ford F-150s to Vietnam. There’s going to be. a trade imbalance because we’re a wealthy country and we have a 70 you know consumer base so i think that sometimes we get focused on things you know not to say that it’s not important to look at certain aspects of it but just that the hyper focus on this metric i think has been um very much overplayed. And there are a lot of great things the Trump administration is doing on the national stage in terms of shoring up our national and economic security through what’s happened in Venezuela and Argentina and the like that are much more critical than you do. We get this this trade gap and that But there’s also some downsides to how much gold is being exported, that we’re giving away our gold position to be able to close the trade gap, or how many small businesses aren’t able to import because now it’s too expensive and it’s hurting their businesses. So you look at this whole number and it sounds like a great media soundbite, but You have to really kind of dig into the details, and I don’t think it’s that important from an overall economic picture to focus on.
SPEAKER 22 :
Well, there you go. That’s what we can bank on. Our very good friend, Carol Roth, thank you so much for just setting the stage and giving us some perspective because you are the financial guru that we love the most, and we so appreciate it. Her book, by the way, everybody need to go and get it. You Will Own Nothing. It’s a horror film. It’s going to be a horror film someday. It ought to be. And then don’t forget her newsletter at carolroth.com slash news. Always good to see you, my friend. Happy New Year. Thank you, my friend. So as you know, yesterday, members of Congress began the hearings questioning Minnesota lawmakers about the massive fraud, billions and billions of dollars. And even though I think he’s a millennial, I think we need to claim him for Gen X. Congressman Brandon Gill from Texas, simply because of the way he questions people. It’s just so reality bites. I don’t know how. Right. It has that whole aesthetic to it, which makes it comical. So this is Representative Gill grilling these lawmakers and they’re trying to they’re trying to push back with a lame semantics argument that he’s not having. Watch this.
SPEAKER 08 :
Let me ask you, does large-scale Somali immigration make Minnesota stronger or weaker?
SPEAKER 09 :
Certainly stronger.
SPEAKER 08 :
Certainly stronger. Do you know what percentage of Somali-headed households in Minnesota are on food stamps? No. Fifty-four percent. Do you know what that number is for native Minnesota-headed households?
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, to be clear, a majority of the… It’s 7%.
SPEAKER 08 :
There’s a big difference between 54% and 7% as they’re not… Excuse me, sir.
SPEAKER 09 :
Could I answer the question?
SPEAKER 08 :
Let me move on. We’ve got a lot of questions here. What percentage of Somali-headed households in Minnesota are on Medicaid?
SPEAKER 09 :
I don’t know.
SPEAKER 08 :
It’s 73%. Do you know what that number is for Minnesota native households?
SPEAKER 09 :
Again, you’re using the phrase Minnesota native households, but the majority… The number is 18%.
SPEAKER 08 :
That’s quite an astounding difference.
SPEAKER 09 :
Can I answer the question, please?
SPEAKER 08 :
Let me ask you one more, and then we can go on to that. What percentage of Somali-headed households are on welfare in general? I don’t know. It’s 81%. What about… Let me just ask you, after 10 years of being in the United States, what percentage of Somali immigrant households are on… continue to be on welfare?
SPEAKER 09 :
I don’t know.
SPEAKER 08 :
The number is 78%. So even after 10 years, 78% of Somali immigrant households continue to be on welfare. Do you know what that number is for native Minnesota-headed households? Non-Somali immigrant-headed households.
SPEAKER 09 :
If I can just answer the question, you’re using the phrase native Minnesotans. The majority of Somali Minnesotans are as Minnesotan as any of us. They were born in the United States. It’s only 8,000 of the 108,000 Somalis in the state.
SPEAKER 08 :
And nevertheless, the welfare usage is astoundingly different. Let me ask you again, does that make Minnesota stronger or weaker?
SPEAKER 09 :
Again, I’d like the opportunity to answer the question here. Go for it. So, again, the majority of Somali Minnesotans are born in the United States, as I understand it.
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay, well, what percentage of working-age Somalians who have been in the U.S. for 10 years or more, 10 years or more, how many of them speak English very well?
SPEAKER 09 :
I don’t know.
SPEAKER 08 :
About half. Oh, my God. The answer’s about half. That seems pretty low, doesn’t it? Again, I keep trying to… It doesn’t sound like something that makes our country stronger to me, and I think most Americans would agree with me on that.
SPEAKER 22 :
The guy keeps trying to do the semantic, well, when you say native-born, I mean, some of them were born here. Okay, but why can’t they speak English then? Why is it that the majority are on welfare? I mean, that’s the point that the guy, and Congressman Gill is not allowing this guy, and this guy, by the way, was a former DOJ prosecutor under Biden-Harris, and he also worked with DOJ under Obama-Biden, and he’s in Minnesota. He was trying every which way that he could. And he actually ended up making it worse for himself because he’s like, well, we’re talking about people born here. Well, that makes it even worse that if they’ve been born here, if they were born here or if they’ve been here for over a decade and they’re still on welfare. to that extent, or they still can’t speak English to that extent. I cannot imagine going to another country and demanding to be taken care of, refusing the language, rejecting the culture, and demanding to be on government assistance. I can’t even imagine that. That is just heinous. That’s so awful. So that was an excellent line of questioning. I don’t even know why. The guy should have just sat there and said, hit me. That’s what he should have done.
