SPEAKER 13 :
Welcome to the program. Dana Lash with you. The chat’s at Rumble. Now, just a quick programming note. We were expected to be at SHOT Show this week. You guys know that. That’s what we had planned. SHOT Show happens every year. It’s the big NSSF event here. And by we, I mean me. Somebody got a serious, crazy ear infection and was grounded, not able to fly, had crazy vertigo, tendonitis, everything. So only literally now can sit upright to be back on air today. So if I seem a little bit out of it, I still kind of am. But we’re getting back into it. So if you see the wire, I can’t even wear my in-ear yet and my right ear, which was the most affected. So I’m telling you all this now just to get ahead of the mail or the questions that are being asked. So that’s just an FYI. So the… Latest, let me pull this up because we’ve got a lot to dump into. It’s not just what’s happening at Davos. It’s also we’ve got the Diego Garcia carrier, which all dovetails into this whole issue of the relationship with the United States and that of Europe and NATO particularly. Now, if you’re a subscriber. over to over at chapter and verse which is my sub stack there were had a few pieces that came out every when i could sit upright i was writing uh but i had a piece that came out yesterday and it was yesterday yeah yesterday evening i don’t even remember kane i don’t know I’m, you know what, today’s my last day for steroids. So we’ll see how far this gets us. So I had a piece out because there’s a lot of noise about the issue of Greenland, which is taking center stage. And it’s not even so much the issue of, it’s really about the health of the national security of the United States. And that’s what it comes down to. And it also details the responsibility that Europe has and really should be keeping in as it relates to the health of that alliance, for the lack of a better way to put it. So as you guys know, we’ve been talking about Greenland a lot. And I think some people, you know, I kind of get the sense that. In the beginning, some people maybe perhaps thought that POTUS was joking. To be fair, we were like, was he really being serious? Because this has been a year.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah, he says some of those verbose things because there’s other things he wants to get done. And maybe it’s not direct in his comments, but we’re used to seeing that.
SPEAKER 13 :
I think a few things. expedited that and elevated it from just a minor discussion to now it’s an action item. And one of those things POTUS was talking about, actually, he came up and said it during one of his, I think he was talking, it was an aside to one of the press because he was saying, look, if we had not acted properly, as quickly and in the manner that we did as it relates to Iran with the strikes, it was two months and they were going to be fully realized as nuclear capable, which is kind of, it’s a terrifying thought considering, I know it would make, you know, Tucker Carlson happy, but it, you know, that’s a scary thing. So the, the issue with Iran and then also Venezuela, I think elevated this stuff and expedited a lot of the discussion into action, or at least into the planning stages of it. So Trump was talking about this in Davos. This was just a little earlier. This is cut five. Listen to this.
SPEAKER 07 :
We want Europe to be strong. Ultimately, these are matters of national security and perhaps no current issue makes the situation more clear than what’s currently going on with Greenland. Would you like me to say a few words of Greenland? I was going to leave it out of the speech, but I thought I think I would have been reviewed very negatively.
SPEAKER 13 :
There’s no way he was going to. Now, he says he’s not going to use force to take Greenland. He says, look, despite the fact that Danish leaders have been, I think, unnecessarily adding fuel to the fire, they’re like, oh, my gosh, he’s going to send boots on the ground. And I mean, come on, this is so just it’s stupid. I mean, let’s look at the previous acquisitions made by the United States or there was the the U.S. Virgin Islands, whether it was the Louisiana Purchase, whether it was the what would have been traditionally called Seward’s Folly with Alaska. I mean, he’s talking about that heritage of acquisition. He says this in cut six. Listen.
SPEAKER 07 :
We never asked for anything. And we never got anything. We probably won’t get anything unless I decide to use excessive strength and force where we would be, frankly, unstoppable. But I won’t do that. OK, now everyone’s saying, oh, good. That’s probably the biggest statement I made, because people thought I would use force. I don’t have to use force. I don’t want to use force. I won’t use force. All the United States is asking for is a place called Greenland, where we already had it. as a trustee, but respectfully returned it back to Denmark not long ago after we defeated the Germans, the Japanese, the Italians and others in World War II. We gave it back to them. We were a powerful force then, but we are a much more powerful force now. After I rebuilt the military in my first term and continue to do so today, we have…
SPEAKER 13 :
Now, this has to do with a national security issue. And, you know, if you think back to going back to what I think it was 1917 and looking at the acquisition of the U.S. Virgin Islands, I mean, it was very similar. You know, we’re like, OK, well, we can either do this the easy way or the easy way. Pick because it’s an issue of national security. I wrote about this because, you know, for the for our entire lives. for my entire life, probably for yours as well. We have heard nothing but the importance of NATO. I get it, right? I mean, NATO served a purpose during one point. It really did. I’m not saying that it still doesn’t, but there are genuine legitimate questions that have been raised because of Europe’s behavior, their leadership and the direction of their individual sovereign nations. And we’ve heard about the importance of NATO our whole lives. We’ve heard about the importance of the NATO alliance, the health of that alliance for our whole lives. But now what we’ve seen is that Russian power has been slipping into twilight. This is inarguable. I know that there are some old, crusty type of neocons that want to pretend that Russia is still the biggest threat in the world, but it’s not. Russia would like to think that it’s the biggest threat in the world, but it is not. And even though Russian influence waned, the United States very dutifully increased. We increased our percentage of of defense spending beyond what was the agreed to amount amongst NATO member nations, a percentage of our GDP. Beyond the agreed to, what was it, 2% or 2.3% of our GDP, we increased spending to 6.2% of our GDP. We form the bulk, if not the over 90% of NATO’s resources. And so we’ve been doing this the entire time. The entire time. We have, in some cases, well, doubled and in some cases tripled what we have been spending to meet our agreement with NATO. But the issue has become this. Europe absolutely refuses to recognize that China is a bigger threat than Russia, that China is a threat at all. Actually, let’s just start there. They refuse to recognize that China is at all a threat. That’s why you have people like Emmanuel Macron, who is out there rolling out the red carpet, begging for massive Chinese investment, saying that this is this is one of the things that he said on stage there at Davos. Saying that this is something that we want these. It’s in the newsletter. I don’t know if we have it. Yes, we do. Listen, this is 14. This is exactly what he’s talking about. This is Emmanuel Macron talking about how they need more Chinese investment. Listen.
SPEAKER 01 :
China is welcome, but what we need is more Chinese foreign direct investment in Europe in some key sectors to contribute to our growth, to transfer some technologies, and not just to export towards Europe some devices or products which sometimes don’t have the same standards or are much more subsidized. are the ones being produced in Europe.
SPEAKER 13 :
We’re trying to figure out the sunglasses with him. We don’t have an answer either. We really, we don’t. Then you have Mark Carney and others trying to align with the communist Chinese. Now, they’re doing this even while the United States was doubling spending to NATO. They’ve been doing this the entire time. I mean, dwarfing the spending of other nations. So Europe not only refuses to recognize that China is a bigger threat than Russia, they refuse to allow the United States to adjust to this massive geopolitical shift in interest of our own national security. They want all of our defense spending. They want all of our resources. And they balk at meeting the minimum pledge. While we increase our commitment to NATO, they’ve increased welfare spending. That’s what Europe has done. They’re silent as China has colonized Africa. They’re silent as China has tried to colonize the South Sea. They’re silent as China makes overtures to colonize Taiwan. They’re silent as China’s been trying to colonize Central and South America through their Belt and Road Initiative. I mean, the U.K., for crying out loud, handed Hong Kong back to the communists just a couple of years ago. And meanwhile, they’re inviting all of these partnerships with the communist Chinese while simultaneously demanding fealty from the United States. I mean, you had we’re going to play Ursula von der Leyen here coming up. She was like, oh, well, Europe must always choose the world. The EU can’t even handle its own borders, much less all of Europe. And you’re talking about leaders in Europe that are sinking into socialism and Islamism, shaping them into untrustworthy allies. They are committing political, cultural, sovereign seppuku. Islamist seppuku. Not even all the way up in the Nordic north where I was at this last fall is untouched by the plague of Sharia. I saw that with my own eyes. So this is what we’re talking about. Do you really believe that we can entrust our security and especially if you consider where Greenland is geographically to alliances that cut deals with our geopolitical foes who carry out asymmetric warfare against us as we speak? That’s the question. This isn’t supposed to be a one sided partnership, but that’s what Europe and NATO have been expecting us to behave as though it is. We’re going to talk more about this because you can debate Trump’s tactics. You can debate his tone. But what you cannot debate is how our supposed allies are helping the colonization of communism and Islamism worldwide. And that’s just simply not debatable. I’m going to tell you to carry and carry lead whenever you can. And if your signage isn’t legal, then to hell with you. I also understand that, you know, college kids… are made victims by these institutions where they refuse to protect them. I know a young woman who was brutally raped on a college campus in Colorado. And I was there as the speaker of that state house told her that she still couldn’t carry to protect herself because her innocence wasn’t important enough. This is the stuff I’m talking about. When you’re denied being able to protect yourself, one of the most basic human rights, you have to out think the evil state that wants to make you a victim and elevate the criminal. And this is where a burner gun comes in. If you’re not 21 and you can’t carry, or if you’re a parent of a college kid, or maybe you have to go into a local municipal location where you can’t carry and you need to check out a Berna gun. They have different types. I’m only going to tell you about the CL because that’s the only one that you need for this purpose. It stands for compact launcher. And the Berna CL, Berna gun, even though it’s not a gun, shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. And with the Berna gun, if you compare it to regular stun guns, you have like maybe one or two rounds with a regular stun gun. Berna has 15 rounds of 15 shots per cartridge. So that’s a lot of chances to put some time between you and a threat and get to safety and deter that threat. And Berna does not care about gun-free zone signs. It does not care. It laughs at them because it’s not a gun. You buy it online and they send it to your house. There’s no background check. There’s no permits. There’s none of that stuff. Check out the Berna CL. It’s roughly the size of an iPhone. There’s no recoil. There is no worry about target acquisition. You have different projectiles, different accessories, all available at Burna.com slash Dana. B-Y-R-N-A. Burna.com slash Dana. Ready when you are.
SPEAKER 23 :
Do not believe government numbers. It’s not just about the CPI inflation numbers. Government is now saying health insurance is down by 19% over the last five years. Does anybody believe that? Check out the Watchdog on Wall Street podcast on Apple, Spotify, wherever you get your podcasts.

SPEAKER 14 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 13 :
So Vice President J.D. Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance announced yesterday that they’re expecting their fourth child. It’s a boy, they announced via Instagram. In other news, Marco Rubio has now been selected as the new nanny for the Vance family. He’s got all the jobs, and he’s also probably going to have to take control of Greenland as well. So diversify your uniforms, sir. brutal cold i don’t know about you guys but everybody that i know who lives in the north in the midwest i got 12 no no let me look at this i’m not exaggerating i hello 11 sorry maybe slightly i had 11 messages just this morning from everyone who lives up north and in, like, northern Midwest, asking me if we’re ready down here in Texas for the ice and snow that’s going to cripple us. That’s all they’re obsessed about. They don’t care about themselves. They care about us because it’s hysterical to watch people in the southern part of the United States deal with the major storm brewing. It’s apparently, what is it, like a once-in-a-lifetime kind of storm? Kane gets us sick with a plague. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime storm. We’re expected to get all kinds of sleet and snow and all the frozen things. So just settle in. Get your French toast supplies. Get your toilet paper. Get it all set. I did, didn’t I? I did say it. You know what? I hate your infection. Give me some grace. Toll it. That’s what we’re doing today. Let’s see here. The average. 50-something American is now worth $1.4 million, which does not say anything, I think, about the state of wealth. I think it says a lot about the state of inflation and the bad state of the economy because nobody believes that that many people are millionaires. We really don’t believe that. We have a lot more coming up. Stick with us. More of The Dana Show back after this. The folks who helped make the program possible, it is the folks over at Human, the company behind the Super Beats hard chews. They have their turmeric chews. If you have not checked these out, you definitely need to. And you can go to Sam’s Club and get your bag. By the way, the bags have changed a little bit. So they have. Some bold new packaging coming out. It’s in an all red bag. And it’s going to be for a period of time on the shelf with the old packaging. The old packaging is white with red lettering. This is a red bag. So it’s the same formula, the same product. It’s just in a new designed package. That’s it. And you can get it at Sam’s Club. Now, the turmeric that they use, it’s a standout form of turmeric. And it delivers the equivalent antioxidant support of what you would find in a much larger amount of standard turmeric extract. So the benefits are really convenient. And they use a clinically studied turmeric curcumin complex that helps solve the issue of absorbability. They use a highly absorbable form. So you can get the best benefits of this turmeric. It tastes like a lightly orange citrus flavor. It’s a chew. It’s a little bit smaller than a Starburst. Really chewy. Very easy to take. Very good. No additives. No added sugar at all either. You’re getting powerful antioxidant support in a format that fits effortlessly into your daily routine. So kick off the new year right. and get your turmeric chews from the company Human at Sam’s Club. Go and get your turmeric chews. Remember, two different packagings out now. They’re going to all red. Pick your bag up today.

SPEAKER 13 :
Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. Go and find me up on Substack because we’ve got a lot of good stuff up there. Thank you for the nice thoughts and prayers and well wishes dealing with my ear infection. It’s not the worst thing in the world, but it is when you have vertigo and you feel like you’re drunk when you’re not drunk. It’s the weirdest feeling ever. I’ve heard from some of you who deal with this all the time. I don’t even know how you get through your day. Oh, my gosh. I’m like, no, you need prayer. Not me. You do. So welcome back. Instead of being shot show, we’re here monitoring everything. We’re going to dive back into this Greenland stuff. But the weather, because apparently the whole nation is going to get winter’s coming. It’s going to get plunged into the weather beyond the wall. It said apparently 200 million Americans are warned to brace for the coldest winter storm ever. They’re negative 50. Okay. Guys, if it gets 50 degrees, like not negative, I can’t deal. I just, I’m not, I am born for a storm of a certain temperature. A calm does not suit me. But have you seen the weather maps? I feel like they get bigger. It’s like an old man’s fishing story. It just gets bigger and bigger. Like, well, it was supposed to be just this part. Now it’s this old swath. Now it’s the whole United States. Now it’s the whole everything. Snow and ice. And it’s going to hit eastward, going to go south. I mean, it’s going to be cold in Texas. It’s going to be cold everywhere. So everybody, like I said, get your French toast supplies. Don’t go crazy with the toilet paper. You know, save some for other people who also have to use the restroom. Just saying, just go and get what you need. But don’t be freaking out about it. Right. Because you’re going to get through it, especially you people who live up north. You’re all used to dealing with this. I want to hear it. It’s those poor suckers down south who are like, oh, my gosh, there’s ass air where I don’t know how to deal with this. So just, you know, everybody just be safe and don’t leave your pets outside. Right. It’s going to be Greenland in the United States. Look, we’re importing their culture already. We were talking a little bit about this as we were going into headlines, this lopsided participation in NATO. I just feel like I’m not saying that I devalue NATO. I know that there’s a lot of stupid knee-jerk reactionaries out there who don’t really want to have a conversation. They just want to be perceived as winning something for clicks. But The alliance was never supposed to be a one-sided partnership that prioritizes strictly only Europe’s needs at the expense of our national security. It was never supposed to be like that. And I’m really getting tired of the presumption that the offending party is always the United States, which also is not true. The offending party here is Europe because Europe refuses to acknowledge the legitimate security concerns of a growing Chinese hostility movement. coupled with the problem of Europe refusing to wean itself off of cheap Russian oil and gas. And the idea that the health of the alliance or the reasonableness of the United States is defined by whether or not Europe singularly is fat and fed and happy is offensive. That’s just BS. I mean, it’s the incendiary rhetoric rhetoric is coming from one way. It’s coming from the Danish leadership is like, oh, my gosh, they’re going to. They’re they’re invading. No one’s talking about invading. But you know what? If you’re worried about an invasion, why are you not talking about the Islamist seppuku that you’re committing with your own invasion? Let’s have a discussion about nations that are already entertaining invasions. Let’s talk about France. You can even go and go in parts of Paris. Let’s talk about the UK, where for over 13 years you had a grooming gang of Pakistani men who trafficked young girls like the age of seven, sexually trafficked women and girls into sexual slavery. Right in their own hometowns, under the noses of their law enforcement, their elected leaders. And when town officials were made aware, they were more concerned about being perceived as racist towards these Pakistani interlopers who were coming in, most of the time illegally, and trafficking women and children in Rotherham and other places. That’s the invasion. If you want to have a discussion about invasions. acquiring Greenland in a business acquisition that does more to protect the West than anything the EU could ever hope to do. That’s just good business. That’s just good business. So this is, you know, it’s silly to, you know, people can sit here and get on Trump’s tactics. They can say he’s heavy handed. They can say that, you know, the tone taken with European nations. I just think if you’re going to do that, then you also have to take into consideration the tone that you’ve heard from these European leaders. I’m just not going to be looked down to by people who allow for Islamist invasions to come in and turn their countries into serfdoms. Just not going to do it. And that’s the issue that we’ve had here. You had Ursula von der Leyen who said the EU is on the cusp of making the mother of all deals. They’re talking about India. And she says Europe, her quote was, Europe will always choose the world and the world is ready to choose Europe. Okay, well, the issue with that is that The EU can’t even handle its own borders. It’s not even strong enough to willingly choose anything. You know, if the United States wanted to go balls to the wall under Greenland, we could. And there’s not a damn thing that you can do to stop us. But we don’t have imperialist tendencies. We just want to protect the United States. And I just am not going to hear from these countries that are turning a blind eye to the expansionists, the imperialism and expansionism of China looking to acquire Greenland or Russia looking to put a placeholder on it for China. I’m just not doing it. Not going to do it. So this is what Trump is looking to solve. And you can take issue with how he’s doing it. I really don’t care. I don’t care. And I am not going to have the measure on tone determined by leaders who allow their children to be trafficked by Pakistani grooming gangs for nearly two decades and do nothing and be implicated by their own apathy. Just not going to deal with it. I’m not going to hear about it from Keir Starmer, this absolute meathead. I mean, I’m pretty sure. And this is a very important point that I wanted to bring up, too. Because I think a lot of people miss this. This is over at pull this up. Give me one second. So this was over. CBS actually had it. The headline. And this is just from yesterday. Trump U-turns on UK’s Chagos Islands deal claims it’s another reason Greenland has to be acquired by the United States. How many people know what’s going on with this story? A lot of people don’t. A lot of people don’t pay attention to where the Diego Garcia is. is actually where it’s being held. They’re not following the Mauritius. They’re not following these islands near India. They’re not following all this. And no one’s blaming you. I mean, for crying out loud, you’ve got to work to support all the people in the Somali diaspora in Minnesota who don’t. It’s the Chagos Island transfer, and it’s this island in the Indian Ocean that hosts the Diego Garcia, which is our aircraft carrier, right? And there was a deal. Apparently, Keir Starmer, kicked off what I would only describe as an international incident in the way that he handled it. It is. Yeah. And of course, Keir Starmer is also another one who’s been trying to raise the alarm about invasion as it pertains to Greenland, which is so stupid. So basically, you had the UK not be forthright about the situation with this aircraft carrier, Martutius, which has been linked to Maduro and all of this other stuff before. The Labour Party with Keir Starmer had lied about the ties to the island. Keir Starmer misrepresented the deal because there was a deal back a year ago. And Trump seemed kind of apathetic to it. It wasn’t anything that he looked at. These islands, they were trying to say that the Martusians had no legal claim other than this. Again, here we go with a non-binding, looking at the non-binding international court opinion, you know, because we’re getting into the international rule of law, which is a farce, right? So basically, Keir Starmer is giving them giving this nation that has no legitimate claim on this island, the island, and also paying them over 100 million dollars a year for 99 years to lease back the Diego Garcia. And apparently this whole thing. Backroom deal took the United States a little bit sideways because it was completely the opposite of how it had been represented by Starmer and the UK. And a lot of, you know, Nigel Farage and others were blasting him because apparently other people that were in parliament were completely unfamiliar with the deal as well. So and then, of course, POTUS blasted them in a post on True Social saying, quote, Our brilliant NATO ally, the UK, is currently planning to give away the island of Diego Garcia, a military base to Martutius and to do so for no reason whatsoever. We had a carrier that was there, blah, blah, blah. It’s like a base for our naval. We can use it if we so choose. He said to give away the island of Diego Garcia side of a vital U.S. military base and to do so for no reason whatsoever. He said, no doubt China and Russia have noticed this act of weakness. And he went in and said the U.K. giving away. Here’s the key. The U.K. giving away extremely important land is an act of great stupidity. and is another in a very long line of national security reasons why Greenland has to be acquired. He can’t trust the UK. Do you blame our administration for not trusting the United Kingdom because they’ve already misrepresented this deal to them? Do you honestly believe that these nations, which are committing Islamist seppuku and sliding into socialist hellscape, do you honestly believe that they would do anything and honor any kind of alliance with respect to acquisition of Greenland if it was China or Russia? No, that’s the whole point. This is just another example of it. This is another example of it. And they can sit here and say that Trump’s comments on this are incendiary. The incendiary aspect of this whole issue is the deal that Starmer made in the first place. I mean, for crying out loud. I mean, they… trying to sit here and go by some make-believe court of make-believe law. So now you see the importance of making sure that we’re able to protect ourselves adequately. You can’t trust Europe. That’s what all of this is leading into. We’re not able to trust them. We’re going to talk more about this. Also, a few other things. that we have on deck as well because we have a lot with this still. In Minnesota, the DOJ has served subpoenas on the offices of a number of Minnesota officials including Tim Walz, Jacob Fry, Keith Ellison, all of these lawmakers whom, as you remember, were on the, I mean, I don’t want to say payroll, that’s not the way to put it, but they were getting kickbacks from that multi-billion, like hundreds of billions of dollars, taxpayer fraud scheme in Minnesota. So they were served subpoenas. The Department of Justice served them with subpoenas. The AG, Tim Walz, Minneapolis mayor, all of them. And The House now is holding hearings on it. They’re trying to seek further communication. Because you can’t tell me that they were unaware of this. Remember back a couple of months ago when it came out that one of those organizations that was involved in, I think theirs was like $234 million worth of fraud, was the Feed Our Future Fund, which had to deal with feeding the kids during COVID lockdown, et cetera, et cetera. That… completely fell directly solely under the jurisdiction of the governor, Tim Walz. It fell under his jurisdiction. His office ran that department that oversaw that program. So you can’t tell me that they were unaware of this. I mean, Ilhan Omar, I don’t know why she’s not being subpoenaed. I feel like she ought to be, especially since she’s the one whose own federal election campaign filings show that she received money from the guy who was key. He was one of the few so far of everybody who’s been arrested. Only two of them are not Somali. He’s been he was one of the individuals who was actually arrested and convicted for fraud. vast swaths of fraud, hundreds of millions of dollars of fraud. And he had held campaign events for her. He donated a lot of money to her campaign. It was he who also donated to Jacob Fry as well. So I don’t know why she wouldn’t be included in that. Maybe that’s another move that they’re going to make. Maybe they’re just focusing on strictly state level lawmakers. But I mean, there’s enough there right now with the AG. And Minnesota, which we’re going to talk about I mean, not only do they have this on their hands, but then they also have meth addicts running into their churches and trying to flex just because they hate Christians. And then you have Don Lemon, who is a broad. He’s he’s trying to prostitute himself out to save his dying career. I’ve always got along with him there for a while. We had the same agent and I never did not get along with him. It’s weird because sometimes in broadcasting, you sort of run in the same you run in similar circles to some of these others. But I always thought he was particularly high on himself. I always thought that. I’ve been to a couple of events where he was there with his partner, and his partner always seemed saner than him. Just weird, right? But going into that church, we’re going to talk more about that coming up. We also have some Second Amendment stuff to look at because the oral arguments, Wolfer v. Lopez, that’s incredibly important because we’re going to talk about vampires. I mean, guns and goth stuff, like what? Perfect. So we got a lot of stuff to get into as we move. We got Days of the Easy United States on the way. Our partners who help bring you the program, our friends over at WebRoot, they want to make sure that you’re protected because there’s so many ways. Just to be frank, swindle you out everything you got. I’m not kidding. I mean, I could probably do it if I was really mean and wanted to.

And you want to take all of the guessing games out of cybersecurity. It is not complicated. There’s two ways to do it. You have two packages from our friends at WebRoot, right?

SPEAKER 13 :
What is he talking about? Is he talking about the meth heads that went into the church? I mean, it’s really good to see that at 120 years old, he’s still kicking, I guess. That’s Bruce Springsteen, whose face is an ad for constipation remedies whenever he plays a solo. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. Days of these United States. What protest is he talking about? National Guard. He’s like, oh, there’s armed federal. He’s just throwing a bunch of word salad up there. I mean, you know, spare a thought for the rapist that he’s standing for. I don’t know how. I’m sorry. You’re a cuck. If you’re a male and you’re out here defending illegal immigration, particularly these these deportation of these violent repeat offenders who and we’ve read the names. Actually, we didn’t even read all of the names. There’s so many. We’re talking about violent conviction convictions for violent sexual assaults, rapes, sodomy, all of this child molestation. Trying to paint these people as victims. Bruce Springsteen is just committing, you know, I don’t know how else to put it. I mean, how do you look at your wife like that? How do you look at your wife and be like, I’m not man enough to defend you from threats like this. So I’m going to make these people the victim and you have to bear the weight of it.

SPEAKER 05 :
In time like this, due with whether they’re going to focus or investigate you. So I wish in a normal time I would say no. I say this is First Amendment activity. In time like this, it’s just really difficult to say because the only one thing is clear. If Trump likes you, you can do no wrong. If he doesn’t, He’s going to use every weapon he can against you, including our criminal justice system.
SPEAKER 13 :
It’s not a free speech issue to trespass onto private property and then try to threaten and intimidate people while they’re having church services. That’s an Islamist AG, Keith Ellison, who got millions of dollars kicked back from the Somali diaspora fraud case there. And now a subpoena has been issued to him. They are pretty amazing. Pretty amazing. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. We’re at the top of the second hour now. And just a quick recap. We were going to be at SHOT Show, but serious ear infection. I’m still kind of grounded. So that’s why I can’t. wear anything in my other ear right now, but we’re going through, we’re kicking through. So appreciate y’all’s fellowship. But anyway, we got the Chatter Rumble sub stack, chapter and verse, have a lot of good stuff that’s up there. You can go check it out. But this church, what would you, how would you all have done? I don’t know that we would have… I don’t know that if people would have been able to get that far in any of our church services. I just want to show you, and I know you guys have seen a fair amount of it. How is this in any way, cut 15, an issue of speech? This is intimidation and I dare say aggressive and threatening. Listen.
SPEAKER 20 :
So you can see the protesters here have gathered over here. They’re in the middle of the church. During the beginning of the church service, the pastor was speaking, and Nekima stood up and said her piece, and then the protesters surrounded her. But this is a clandestine mission. This is private property.
SPEAKER 13 :
I think they found out one of… By the way, it violates the FACE Act. That’s the Freedom Access to Clinic Entrances Act, which also protects places of religious worship. So they can’t, what they just did is a felony. None of the things, that’s not a protect, it’s disrupting church services. So trespassing on private property, disrupting church services, that isn’t a, it’s not a First Amendment issue. It’s not something that’s protected by the First Amendment. And it’s specifically, the FACE Act specifically, prohibits threats, force, intimidation, things like that. I mean, they, and there’s no, by the way, it’s interesting to note because Don Lemon’s trying to present himself as a journalist. There is no shield for journalists there. They don’t get protection. This is cut 16. Don Lemon, this is just excrement. Watch.
SPEAKER 18 :
What do you think of this? I mean, this is unacceptable. It’s shameful. It’s shameful to interrupt a public gathering of Christians in worship.
SPEAKER 20 :
I have to take care of my flock and my family. There’s a constitution in the First Amendment to freedom of speech and freedom to assemble and protest.
SPEAKER 17 :
That’s not what this is. We’re here to worship. We’re here to worship Jesus because that’s the hope of these cities. That’s the hope of the world is Jesus Christ. I want to be very respectful. Please don’t push me though.
SPEAKER 13 :
We’re here.
SPEAKER 17 :
We’re here to worship Jesus. That’s why we’re here. That’s why we’re here.
SPEAKER 13 :
Don Lemon. Look, cut this, cut this. Look at me. Look at the camera. Don Lemon is a whore. He is a political whore cuck for ratings. Shame on you for busting up into a church service and trying to do what you do. I get it that you got fired from your network and you’re unemployable anywhere else, but this isn’t going to do it. That’s not going to do it. Somebody busts up into my church service. I’m assuming that they’re going to shoot it up and I’m going to draw on you. You want to F.A.? You’ll F.O. You’re not going to do that. You’re not going to turn houses of worship into that and walk in with your equally racist Klansmen meth heads. I just what a rat fink. Seriously. Don Lemon is a whore. Golly. I mean, at least be a nice one. He was harmless enough when he was just out there clowning himself. But then when you start doing this, going into church services, and if you dislike me calling you that, then don’t be a whore. really simple then don’t be one don’t be a pathetic wannabe journalist can you imagine like living out your 60s i don’t know i’m assuming he’s a lot older than me living out your 60s like i guess i’m just gonna go slum it by busting up churches with these meth heads and that guy looks like a meth head oh i don’t care how mean i sound i am not sounding as mean as i want to be Because I find this disgusting. This is disgusting. These people are ridiculous. And then he’s like, well, then he calls them entitled white supremacists because they literally feared for their safety. This is cut 17.
SPEAKER 19 :
And there’s a certain degree of entitlement. I think people who are, you know, in religious groups like that, it’s not the type of Christianity that I practice. But I think that they’re entitled and that that entitlement comes from a supremacy, a white supremacy. And they think that this country was built for them, that it is a Christian country when actually we left.
SPEAKER 13 :
Nothing says ratings like two old white frozen faced queens. sitting here going back and forth about which one of them is least racist for attacking churches and scaring children during Sunday morning services. Seriously, I just think it’s hysterical that the left is trying to make one of their thought leaders some Z-list interior decorator. I just find that funny. I do find that very entertaining. Go ahead and let them have that. They don’t have a lot, guys. Just let them have that little bit. It’s okay. It is. It’s like real old housewives. That’s why I feel like I’m watching with that little panel there. Again, I could be a lot meaner. I have zero courtesy, zero grace, zero anything for these people. And why? Because they thought that one of the guys there who works in law enforcement might have something to do with Border Patrol and ICE. Good job journalism-ing. Listen to this. Is this the meth head guy? Isn’t this the guy who looks like meth? He looks like what you clean out from your shower drain and you put a sock head on it. This is cut 18, sorry.
SPEAKER 09 :
All these comfortable white people who are living lavish, comfortable lives while children are dragged into concentration camps. You’re living real life, nice lives with your lattes, doing absolutely nothing for your Latino and Somali brothers and sisters. You come here to a man wearing a suit as a preacher? Did Jesus wear a suit? Did Jesus profit off the words? No! Jesus would die within you. You do not touch me. You do not touch me.
SPEAKER 13 :
A prophet earns his own. I mean, first off, maybe read the Bible a little bit. I mean, and good on these kids for not taking this clearly meth addicted, loony commie seriously. No, you bust up into my church, I will draw down on your ass. Because you’re coming in there with the intent to intimidate and threaten. I’m not going to pause. Your life is not more important than mine. Your life is not more important than the lives of the innocent people sitting around me or my children. And I’m not going to pause and say, oh, my gosh, first off, let me adjudicate this really quickly. Are you here to kill us? Because, you know, we’ve had people storming churches and shooting them up that look just like these people storming in and shooting them up, killing people. Are you trying to do another Sutherland Springs? Are they trying to do what they did to the synagogue literally down the road from my house? Because I’m going to assume that they are and I’m going to draw down on your ass. That is exactly what’s going to happen. And I’m going to hold you there until you decide, determine whether or not you still prove a lethal threat or cops intercede and take you. And it will be well within my constitutional rights of self-defense. And I would encourage every other person sitting in a church pew to go out and do similar because I’m tired of this stuff. We’re not going to start targeting people in churches. We’re not going to sit here and go, wait a minute, Mr. Attacker. We’ve had histories like in the past 10 years, an inordinate amount of churches that are getting shot up in synagogues that are getting attacked and targeted. We’re just trying to figure out if you’re here to get clicks for yourself and that old queen Don Lemon’s failing cable, like not even cable, internet blog show, whatever the hell it is. We’re just trying to figure out if he’s trying to pimp off you and use you guys as prostitutes to get clicks or if you guys really are here to murder us all as you seem intent on doing. That’s it. I feel like that’s fair, Cain. It’s a fair thing. Just this insane… I feel so bad for those people there. Because now what is it going to be like? They got church again Sunday. Are they going to be worried and too terrified to show up because they’re afraid that these people are going to target them? I just… That’s sickening to me. And it just shows you that not everybody in this has… None of these people care about ICE. By the way, did you recognize how many, because the left thinks this is important, Latino-appearing people were in that congregation? Yeah, the Latinos are at church on Sunday. They’re not running around with old queens and meth heads. They’re in church on Sunday. This is Cut 18. The meth head’s own video shows people telling him to leave, and he refused. Watch this.
SPEAKER 09 :
All these comfortable white people who are living lavish, comfortable lives. They’re like, leave. That woman’s like, please leave. While children are dragged into concentration camps, you’re living real life.
SPEAKER 13 :
They’re like, please leave. Please leave. They asked him over and over again. These people are they’re they’re obsessed with themselves. The people like this meth head screaming. He doesn’t care about this issue, because if he did, why did he vote Democrat? If you really cared about the problem of illegal immigration, why did you vote for the party whose policy made it to where the borders were so open that it allowed for the cartels to exploit it for human trafficking purposes, which became a bigger money wagon than drugs even? I mean, no one wants to discuss that. He goes up and gets in the faces of these youths. goes and gets in the faces of these other young people who are sitting there trying to worship. This is an attack on Christians. And again, you’re storming a church. I’m assuming that you’re coming to do another Sutherland Springs or another, again, like the synagogue down the street or the one that was in West Texas or the one that was in Colorado. I mean, we can go on and on because there have been a number of churches and synagogues that have been targeted. So I’m assuming that you’re just one of those individuals. And that’s what happens when you make stupid choices and decide to interrupt services like this and barge in. I mean, thank heavens that these people probably are all prohibited possessors and they weren’t able to carry in there in the first place because I feel like the congregation would be dead. This man has enough hate in his heart to me to do it. I feel like he would have killed them all. That’s my personal opinion. And I’m usually right. I just, I’m done having, well, I’ve never, I don’t have any kind of courtesy for these people at all. At all. And I feel like it’s a shame that we have to share the surface of the earth with them. Really is. Now, I got a bunch of other stuff to get into because we’ve got… Um, man, where do we even start? We’ve got the latest with Davos and POTUS slapping everybody around about Greenland. We’re also going to get into, oh my goodness, more whiny Nepo, Islamist Nepo babies. So there’s an Islamist Nepo baby model who didn’t become a model until she had a nose job. Who’s really upset at Dolce and Gabbana because Dolce and Gabbana, which is an Italian design house, hired Italian models from Italy for one Italian show and And she’s decided because they’re not Islamists, she’s trying to turn it into a racial attack on them. She’s white as hell. And her dad has retconned his own family history so much. There’s a subreddit on it. So we’re going to talk about that and more.
SPEAKER 14 :
And now all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s quick five.
SPEAKER 13 :
All right. So first up. Excuse me. I almost sneezed for a second. K-pop demon hunters is Netflix’s most watched movie so far, and it’s not even close. Before you freak out, it is literally one of the most conservative things you’re ever going to watch. And for people who are like, yeah, but yes, there is a ton of religious overtones because a lot of the people that are involved with it have Christian background. But if they’re like, oh, well, they don’t say Jesus specifically. Remember, neither did Lord of the Rings. I’m just saying, take it for what it is. It actually is. I watched it. I actually watched it. It was great. I’m not into the music, but, you know, the animation was good, and the dialogue was very good, and you can feel okay about your kids watching it. I can tell you that. It’s literally good versus evil. But can you believe that that’s, like, the most watched thing? Because they get a lot of filth on Netflix. I don’t know if you’ve seen some of the stuff that they’ve, like, just launched this year, but it’s… So that was really nice. Christmas 2025 was the biggest streaming day ever in the United States, says Nielsen. Interesting. Is it because of all the… You know, it’s probably because I watched Die Hard five times.
SPEAKER 14 :
There was a lot of hype around Stranger Things being released on Christmas too. I haven’t either.
SPEAKER 13 :
But I like the Millie Bobby Brown girl because she seems nice and kind of trad. I mean, like in a real trad way, not a fake Instagram click way. But NFL and Stranger Things, that’s what they were attributing that to. And their revenue and profits have risen. I just still, I don’t think that, like if I’m streaming something, Netflix is never where I go. Unless it’s the Great British Baking Show. Or the aliens thing. Not going to lie. But I watch Amazon Prime. That’s what I do. I watch, like, a lot of the old stuff on Amazon Prime. So, well, let’s see. Piers Morgan gets a hip replacement. I don’t care. Oh, Threads overtakes… Tots and Piers. Threads overtakes X daily mobile users. Threads overtakes X… Threads? Wait, that’s, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. That’s the Instagram thing that I always scroll past and purposely ignore, right?
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah, me too.
SPEAKER 13 :
Why does that take a, why is that taking over X? That’s kind of weird, right? Are you okay, Kane? Kane’s dying. Kane’s got the plague. Kane is the plague. He’s going to get us all the plague. We have more on the way, including Islamism and Nepo babies. Stick with us.
SPEAKER 10 :
Brighten up your timely news consumption with a Dana Show podcast, where every update comes with a little dash of not so serious. On YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts.
SPEAKER 13 :
A little bit of Morrissey. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you, recovering from ear infection and getting ready to go into ice palooza. As we get ready for this crazy storm, we’re going to get into some of the two-way stuff, the Second Amendment stuff with the Wilford V. Lopez case and vampires and all kinds of things. But I had to touch on this. I saw this last night and I’m looking at this and I was actually reading about a movie. It’s an Oscar contender because you know, what is it that Timothée Chalamet has movie, Marty Supreme, that is about ping pong and I’m not going to say. I’m just not going to do it. You know how they do the whole campaigning to get a film, an Oscar? Normal people like us don’t care. But what I do think is interesting is that one of the women, one of the actresses in this film, they’re calling her like a legitimate rising star. And I think it was The Telegraph, which is a garbage publication, but still. And others were saying that it’s an overused phrase. But with her, for her specifically, it might not be because she really is a talented actress. Her name is Odessa Azeon. And people are like, oh, her last name sounds like Zion. Now all of these anti-Semitic turds have been following her everywhere. She’s 25 years old. She’s Jewish. And people have been attacking her because of it. And it doesn’t matter, as you guys know, what you do. Like she’s come out and called for a ceasefire and she’s criticized Israel and she’s checked all the boxes that you’re supposed to check. But that doesn’t matter to Islamists because you are still existing as a Jewish person. And they will hate you as long as you continue to exist, no matter how many times you bend the knee. It doesn’t matter. And I just I was thinking, like, how insane is that? That this is so beyond this is why it goes so beyond just like disagreement. It is it is identity politics. And then as I was looking at this, I came across this story that’s over at I think it’s the New York Post. And it has to do now. Bear with me, because some of you guys out there are going to be like, wait, is she talking about women’s wear? Hold up. It’s not about women’s wear, though. So Dolce and Gabbana, they are two Italian dudes who run a fashion house. And it’s you know, they’re considered quintessentially Italian, like Valentino, who’s passed away just over the weekend. And Like Ferragamo and Gucci and things like that. Quintessentially Italian based in Portofino. They had a fashion show in Milan just recently. And they’ve had these like fashion shows, you know, in different places around the world in Milan. They were hiring because that’s where they were. Italian models from again, it’s an Italian fashion house. And they were hiring Italian models to walk the runway in an Italian show and one Italian show. And so this one chick, her name is Bella Hadid. She’s a nepo baby. Her mom was one of the real housewives, whatever. Her dad is that Mohammed Hadid guy. He’s like some kind of Beverly Hills property developer who’s retconned his own history in Nazareth so many times. There’s an entire subreddit devoted to his ever-changing story. It shifts like the windswept sands. you know, however he can try to like present his family as victims or something. And he lied and said he was born here and he apparently was born somewhere else. Long story short. So this chick who didn’t become a model until after she had a nose job, which is true. She has been like a big Hamas Gaza advocate and she promotes and amplifies all the Pollywood nonsense, all the Hamas truth ministry lies. Like she promotes all of that stuff. And she apparently decided to go after Dolce and Gabbana, accusing them of racism, sexism and bigotry and said it was embarrassing and that their show was, quote, 50 shades of white because they had mostly Italian. And this was a menswear show. So it was mostly Italian male models. Again, it was Milan Fashion Week, an Italian house. They don’t take a code of models and fly them all around the world. They hire and source locally. Unless you’re a big time model, that’s like how it works. I have no idea how I know this, but that’s how it works. So they had a menswear show. It was a fall winter menswear show in Milan. They hired Milanese models. They hired Italian male models from that area for one Italian show. And she lost her mind over it because that’s all she does. All she does is bitch and moan and then promote Hamas talking points. That’s all she does. It is so annoying. It must be just exhausting to be incessantly aggrieved the way that she is. And all she does is complain and whine and do these things. And I’m just like, what is the difficulty in understanding an Italian house hires Italian models for an Italian show from an Italian area where the models are predominantly Italian? I mean, has she said this to, I mean, do you want to look at some of these other designers? Or do you want to look at Super Bowl halftime shows? Or do you, I mean, for crying out loud, why do we still have these Nepo babies practicing race codes? Because that’s what she’s doing. She wouldn’t even be on the runway if her parents weren’t who they are and she didn’t have a nose job. And those are God honest facts. End of. So I just like where do these people come from? And she was she’s like apparently like an influencer and all this stuff. And I don’t know the whole thing, though. It’s like a popular to go after Dolce and Gabbana because they’re not woke. Which is weird because it’s like two gay guys who are not dating each other that do this fashion line. And they love the female form. They make like stuff. I mean, imagine like Sophia Loren. That’s the type of stuff that they do, right? Like that classic Italian silhouette, female silhouette, that tailoring, all of that. You know, it’s like classic femininity. And they’re very non-woke. Like Karl Lagerfeld was very non-woke and a lot of people got mad at Karl Lagerfeld before he passed away. Dolce & Gabbana are very not woke. And the woke scolds, like the Hamas and Epo babies and all of this, have been trying to get them canceled now for 10 years. And it hasn’t worked because people like the stuff that Dolce & Gabbana makes, even though it’s super expensive and like, you know, maybe you can get a pair of sunglasses. Um, but it’s, you know, they make very, I mean, they make really pretty stuff and they appreciate the female form and they didn’t get into all the trans. So they didn’t get into any of that. Like a lot of these other places did. And I think that’s made them targets. But I just think that she needed to get a boost in name recognition. And so she decided to go on another screeching. you know, tangent about it. I’m just so tired of this stuff. It must be so exhausting to be so completely untalented and bitchy all the time. You know, good heavens. Maybe they can find that and fix that in a plastic surgeon’s office in Beverly Hills for you too. I don’t know. Maybe. All right. So man alive. Speaking of codes, the Ketanji Brown Jackson I don’t even know where to start with this because I first I thought this was a joke. Actually, like every the last several bits of audio that we played legitimately when I have seen them pop up and I see like a brief synopsis of her remarks. I immediately don’t trust even if it’s a trustworthy source what I’m reading because it’s so ridiculous. And this is, again, par for the course. So you have Wolford v. Lopez, and it’s a Second Amendment case that is being argued right now. And there’s been a lot said about it. This has been going on for, you know, earlier this week. And in one of these instances, you had a discussion as to – What does permissible firearm regulation look like? And, you know, who’s free to carry, who is free to not carry, things like that. And you had these people inadvertently, starting with Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, literally saying that, well, she’s defending black codes as a precedent for consideration as to constitutionality. Just listen.
SPEAKER 26 :
Justice Jackson. So I guess I really don’t understand your response to Justice Gorsuch on the black codes. I mean, I thought the black codes were being offered here under the Bruin test to determine the constitutionality of this regulation. And it’s because we have a test that asks us to look at the history and tradition. The fact that the black codes were at some later point determined themselves to be unconstitutional doesn’t seem to me to be relevant. to the assessment that Bruin is asking us to make. So can you say more about that?
SPEAKER 03 :
Absolutely. Black codes were unconstitutional from the moment of their inception because they are pretextual laws that are designed to ensure that newly freed slaves are returned to a condition of sheer cruelty. OK, let me stop you there.
SPEAKER 26 :
They were not deemed unconstitutional at the time that they were enacted. They were part of the history and tradition of the country. And when we have a test now that’s asking us to look at what people were doing back then, I don’t understand why they should be excluded.
SPEAKER 03 :
Because they are outliers. They are by definition unconstitutional.
SPEAKER 26 :
They have found later, afterwards, not at the time. And if the test says what’s happening at the time tells us what’s constitutional for this purpose, why aren’t they in?
SPEAKER 03 :
Respectfully, a law is always unconstitutional from its inception. So the history doesn’t matter. We shouldn’t care about the history then. We should deeply care about the history.
SPEAKER 13 :
So if you’re scratching your head thinking, what in the world is she talking about? She’s essentially saying that because an unconstitutional law was passed, incorporated or in existence on the books at one particular point in time, that it can now credibly be used from here on out as a legal precedent. Well, it was always unconstitutional, first and foremost. It’s the constitutionality of something that determines precedent, not the existence of whether not the mere existence it’s the constitutionality of it i just she’s you know she’s so smart we’re told we’re told she’s so smart i was amazed at that and then this is the principal deputy solicitor this is sarah harris and well her reaction as you can imagine would be yours listen this is 35 sorry
SPEAKER 03 :
there’s been some discussion about the black codes and maybe they should be relevant and maybe we really should consider them as significant here in fact they’re a dead ringer thoughts it is 2026 and it is somewhat astonishing that black codes which are unconstitutional are being offered as evidence of what our tradition of constitutionally permissible firearm regulation looks like
SPEAKER 13 :
So it’s Wolfer v. Lopez. This is a case because it’s going to, and it settles around Hawaii and it’s determining whether or not, um, They can eliminate the Bruins, the Bruins standard, meaning does it comport with the founders establishment of our longstanding Second Amendment firearm traditions? That’s the Bruin test, which it’s going to go down. I mean, it’s going to get it. It’s going to be wrecked. This this court case for Hawaii, Hawaii is going to lose this. They’re going to lose this. It is going to be a wreck for them to hear them try to argue this. And Hawaii is trying to do like an in run around all of this by saying, well, you have to be able that you can’t take your firearm basically anywhere. You know, basically, it’s all public spaces. You can’t take your firearm, et cetera, et cetera. And that’s where the whole vampire rule came from. So the vampire rule, that was what Hawaii had tried to implement as a way to end run around Bruin saying, well, you have. And any kind of entity can prevent any sort of legally armed patron. And you have to ask questions before you have to ask permission for taking your firearm anywhere. And it’s called the vampire rule because vampire folklore in order to go in some place, you have to get permission. So it’s like an in run around that. And it applies to every space, every everything. Like it doesn’t matter if it’s public or private, whatever. And they’re trying to do an in run around this. And they were arguing that somehow that goes along with the long that that they could, even though it violates the longstanding tradition that Bruin has already established. So that’s that. That is the Wolfer v. Lopez case. I just it was amazing to hear Ketanji Brown Jackson say, well, you know, even though it might be unconstitutional, it existed. So it can still be used as precedent. She’s literally she do her. I just can’t even believe that she actually I mean, I can’t. But it’s still amazing to hear someone who masquerades as being an educated person try to argue that, well, because black codes existed and they were at one point historical, that that’s the legal precedent from here on out going forward. Oh, my gosh. By the way, you realize, and I wrote my first book on this, Hands Off My Gun, that one of the reasons why the Dred Scott case went the way it did with that racist Judge Taney, who is a big time far left Democrat, is because he was using Scott’s inability to own a firearm as a free person as the final mark against his, quote unquote, personhood and that was actually used as a litmus test to establish personhood was firearm ownership which as you know democrats were they really advocated against any minorities being able to exercise their second amendment rights freed or not so it’s very interesting to hear someone on the bench argue that stunning it’s his life mission to make bad decisions it’s time for florida man All right. So where to even start? That’s the big I got a guy having a tantrum over a leaf blower. So let’s start here. So this has to do with two Florida men who got into a big giant fight because apparently someone used his leaf blower and blowed blue, blue. blue leaves on someone else’s car, which is rude. I mean, I don’t think he did it on purpose, but, and it was all caught on camera. Things went sideways really quickly. A man stomped on a worker’s leaf blower because leaves kept getting on his vehicle. And the guy was very, very aggressive and I was watching it. I don’t think the guy was doing it on purpose. It was in Delray Beach and it was in the parking lot and the guy was cussing and he like grabbed it and started stomping on the thing and oh my gosh, so now he’s in trouble. You have to understand that if you’re parking your car outside and it’s next to trees or grass or anything and you have landscapers that are dealing with the grounds that that your car could have stuff blown on it because they’re there to deal with the grounds. That’s all there is to it. It’s not those guys fault. And in the video, it didn’t look like the guy was. I don’t know. I mean, it doesn’t look like. He was trying to do it on purpose. Maybe I’m wrong, but it didn’t look like that. A Florida man shot a kidnapper for trying to abduct his wife. Yeah, he did. That’s a real man. Bradenton, Florida. A Bradenton, Florida man fended off a kidnapper who tried to kidnap his wife on New Year’s Day. It was in Manatee County. Nicholas Palomo, a 36-year-old felon, had previously gone to prison for kidnapping and a bunch of other violent crimes, tried to abduct a woman who was walking her dog. She tried to escape by running from his car, made it to her home, warned her husband, and the husband went outside. The guy, and apparently Paloma hadn’t left. He was still trying to get her. So the guy went outside. He saw the guy still trying to threaten the wife. So the husband shot him once in the driveway. That was it. Sheriff’s office said it was in a matter of minutes. Entirely self-defense. And he also prior, like just prior to him stalking this woman and trying to take her, he had caused a ruckus at a Circle K up the road. So they’re doing it. They were apparently doing the toxicology to see if he was under the influence of narcotics as well. Third hour on the way. Greenland, Islamism, NATO, Minnesota, all kinds of stuff. Stick with us.
SPEAKER 07 :
The United States cares greatly about the people of Europe. We really do. I mean, look, I am derived from Europe, Scotland and Germany. 100%. Scotland, my mother, 100% German, my father. And we believe deeply in the bonds we share with Europe as a civilization. I want to see it do great. That’s why issues like energy trade, immigration, and economic growth must be central concerns to anyone who wants to see a strong and united West. Because Europe and those countries have to do their thing. They have to get out of the culture that they’ve created over the last 10 years. It’s horrible what they’re doing to themselves. They’re destroying themselves. It’s beautiful, beautiful places. We want strong allies, not seriously weakened ones. We want Europe to be strong.
SPEAKER 13 :
And he’s not wrong with that. That was POTUS speaking to Davos earlier today, reading the Riot Act essentially to NATO, to Europe, to NATO nations, saying you need to be just as much of a partner as you expect the United States to be. A reliable partner. And as I wrote on my substack yesterday, it can’t just be this lopsided participation while the United States increases NATO spending to well over the 2.3 agreed upon for member nations to over 6 percent, while Europe, meanwhile, simply just expands its welfare state. This is all about national security. So welcome back to the program. Speaking of UK, et cetera, British NHS, they were slammed for downplaying a multicultural danger. I still can’t believe that this is a thing. They had to publish, you guys remember this. This was in September. We talked about it at the time. They had published a piece where I’m not exaggerating this. They were advocating the benefits of marrying your first cousin, right? Oh, yeah. It’s a real. Yeah. It’s from the Telegraph. It said first cousin marriage has benefits, says NHS, despite birth defect risk. Why did they have to write that? Why did they feel like, huh, maybe. And they looked at the NHS England’s genomics education program, which they found completely widespread in Pakistani Muslim families in U.K., Now they have a second row because now they’ve apparently repeated these claims in training guidance for midwives. The guidance declared, quote, the increased risk of genetic conditions amongst the offspring of close relative couples has often been exaggerated. That is the direct sentence. And it also told midwives in its language, quote, discouraging cousin marriage is inappropriate, end quote. Oh, and then they say you can’t, quote, you can’t stigmatize patients who have a baby with their first cousin because in some cultures it’s perfectly normal. Yeah. You know, just a couple of heads. That’s all. An extra nub in here and there. I don’t know. And then it gets into the insane high cousin marriage rates in some of these countries. So NHS is now looking the other way because immigration into Britain is a deluge. And the number one source is from actually the top three sources, Pakistan, Nigeria and India. And Nigeria and Pakistan practice cousin marriage. And in Pakistan, it’s actually over 65% of marriages are between first cousins in Pakistan. Wow. That’s according to their own recordings. The Brits didn’t make that up. In Nigeria, it’s 20%. In India, it’s 7.5%. But it’s a major problem in the Islamic world. This is I mean, it’s just to say that it’s not ignores their own recorded data that their government requires them to keep. Britain ignores it. And now they’re trying to accommodate it. So, again, I go back to let’s look at all of these reasons why you might have the United States a little worried about the footing of its allies here. in europe because in the uk they’re completely absolving their own sovereignty and handing it over to people coming in from pakistan many coming in illegally from boats north africa all this other stuff i mean that’s been a whole issue for quite a long time now they’re not having any kind of balanced entry uh they’re not having any kind of orderly entry it’s as though you remember how bad it was with our borders being as so open as long as they were It’s like that on steroids. And it is changing even the way that they run their health directives because they find that it is, they’ve been told that it is inappropriate and offensive to discourage marriages between first cousins. And when you have over 65% of marriages in Pakistan are from that, that’s from both the Independent, Telegraph, let me throw some fun sources out. Oh, Brilliant Maps. Brilliant Maps, which also uses World Population Review, that’s where they get their data. When you look at the cousin marriage by country, yeah, it is a major problem in the Islamic world. A major problem in the Islamic world to an insane degree. So that’s why they’re doing this. In Kuwait, it’s 54%. Qatar, it’s over 54%. In Sudan, it’s 50% cousin marriage. First cousin marriage. Afghanistan, 49%. Iraq, 46%. In fact, all of the top countries. And the top being Pakistan, followed by Kuwait, Qatar, UAE, Sudan, South Sudan, Afghanistan, Mauritania, Iraq, Yemen, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Oman, Syria, Bahrain, Gaza, Egypt, Jordan, Guinea, Lebanon, Sri Lanka, Algeria, Turkey, Tunisia, Nigeria, Morocco, Bangladesh. Those are the top countries. Is there something that sticks out to you about those countries? Could there perhaps be a common denominator from those countries? It is a major problem in that part of the world. It affects lifespan, it affects genetics, it affects intelligence, it affects everything. So when you are watching your allied nations not only demand that the United States continue funding the bulk of NATO while they simultaneously don’t, and instead increase their welfare spending, while they also beg China for infrastructure investment a la Belt and Road. And then, further, they actually reorder Their own society to accommodate things like first cousin marriage due to the influx of Pakistani immigrants. That’s a major issue. And it is well within a completely perfectly logical reasoning scope of asking whether or not we can continue with our foreign policy. And our geopolitical planning, knowing that this ally is turning into not a strong ally after all anymore due to all of these factors. UK is handing itself over to Islamism. France is very closely there. In fact, Paris basically is UK, London parts of I mean, it’s the horror. It’s horrifying. The treatment within their own communities of one another. So this is this is when you look at all of these factors, it’s perfectly reasonable to make that assessment. And Russia is just sitting back rubbing their hands together. They’re weakened. They’re going to let they’re going to sit back. They’ve slipped into shadow. They’re going to sit back and let all of these other factors try to tear apart the West. And China is sitting there waiting for its moment. to act, waiting for a moment to exploit. That’s what this is all about. And you have Europe eager to help China, eager to help them. I mean, what the UK did with the Diego Garcia and the islands in Indian Ocean for our national security is just another indication that they don’t… No, no, no. National security is a one-way street for them. I mean, Maloney… Over in Italy was correct when she noted, yeah, you know, Europe’s not being the best partner. This is something that she had said over the weekend, and she was entirely correct. She is one of the very few European leaders who really gets it. She understands Europe is not being the best partner right now. So the issue with all of this is, Now they’re trying to make it an issue on behalf of the United States. Oh, this is the United States. This is this is Trump’s problem. This is Trump going. You can debate Trump’s tone and you can debate some of the tactics, but he has a legitimate claim. to this objection. What he’s saying is not wrong. And they’re trying to deflect from that by acting like, well, he’s a bull in a china shop. Oh, he’s just so coarser. He says, I’m so tired of hearing that from people who look the other way with Pakistani grooming gangs. I’m so tired of hearing that when you have Emmanuel Macron out there begging for Chinese investment. That’s coarser and more ridiculous and more bull in a china shop than anything else that Trump could be doing. So let’s not do these stupid equivocations. It’s silly. Cut 25. Also silly. Pam Greer was on The View and she decided to tell a really fantastical story about her youth. But there’s a little bit of a problem with it. This is apparently on trend for certain celebrities to start doing. Listen to what she says here.
SPEAKER 25 :
You faced a lot of racism growing up in Columbus, Ohio. How did that shape you? Well…
SPEAKER 27 :
The military wouldn’t allow black families to live on the base. So you had to live in an apartment. And you couldn’t take a bus. You couldn’t afford a car. You walked. Your dads walked to the base. And sometimes we would go from tree shade to shade to get back to the apartment, my brother and I and my mom with bags. And my mom would go, don’t look, don’t look, don’t look. And she’d pull us away. Wow. Because there was someone hanging from a tree. And they have a memorial for it now where you can see where people were and left. And it triggers me today to see that a voice can be silenced. And if a white family supported a black, they’re going to get burned down or killed or lynched as well.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah. Well, so there’s two things. First off, she’s lying. Pam Greer is a liar. She was born in 1949. The last lynching in Ohio was said, well, the report was that it was in 1911. But then what’s more is that the Equal Justice Initiative, which is left wing, reported that there has never been a single lynching documented in the history of Columbus, Ohio. So maybe elsewhere in Ohio where she wasn’t, the last was in 1911. And yes, black Americans were lynched. Other Americans were also lynched. It’s awful. But there has not been a single in Columbus, Ohio, in the entire city’s history. And that’s according to the Equal Justice Initiative. So what is she describing here? And what’s more, why is there this need for these older celebrities to make this kind of stuff up, especially minority celebrities? It’s odd. Like, why do this? Why? Why push this stuff right now? I mean, it’s propaganda propagandizing. It’s all propagandizing. It’s they can just say whatever the hell they want to imagine. I mean, if you’re a leftist, you can go out and say whatever the hell you want. There’s no repercussions ever. There’s hardly any repercussions for you. It’s very, very rare if there ever is. If you had someone who said this on The View, if Meghan McCain had said this on The View. If Scott Jennings had said this on CNN, how do you think this would go? What do you think the response would be? You would have the New York Times, Washington Post, their fact checkers. You would, oh my gosh, every media ombudsman would be all over anybody who said this on any kind of program who came from a non-progressive bent. It should be less acceptable to… debase American history by making it up to suit you advantageously. So apparently Europe is going to launch an alternative to X called W for wieners. I’m kidding. Wankers. I’m kidding. I don’t know what it’s for. I don’t care either. It’s the new platform W that requires the identification and photo validation to ensure that its users are both humans, who they claim to be, according to Politiken DK, it’s a Danish paper. They said it’s supported by a bunch of people nobody cares about, mainly from Sweden. They said that W stands for V, as in visa people. But then they said the first of the Vs that make up the V stands for values and the second font is verified. I can’t make this. I can’t make fun of this enough. I can’t. I’m sure it’s going to suck out loud. Yeah, let’s. Yeah, it’s I’m sure it’s going to be. It’ll be like blue sky, which is basically a bunch of mental abortion projects that get together and scream at each other. Let’s see a flaming meteor. Nine emojis are coming. I don’t care about any of this. This is also stupid. New nine emojis. None of them are guns. I don’t care. Stupid butterfly, a net, a pickle, an eraser. Nobody cares. This is dumb. This makes me dumber even talking about it. Let’s see. Swimming coyote at Alcatraz. Universal Orlando announces a Fast and Furious roller coaster with a 170-foot vertical spike. Happy to send all my enemies on it. That’s it. We have more in store. Do we have Yates coming up? Okay. He’s still in there. All right. We’re more in store. Stick with us.

SPEAKER 04 :
If I hear of someone whose fashion that I like and I know that they’re a person of color, I try to make it a point. But the clothes have to be available. You know, I think we can all do some work to think about that balance in our wardrobes. You know, what does our closet look like and who’s in it? Who are we supporting in it? And I think if you have the money to buy Chanel, then you have the money to buy everybody. And so let us be mindful, I think would be my advice.
SPEAKER 13 :
Just like you bought an oceanfront property in Hawaii. and oceanfront property in Martha’s Vineyard and a big old mansion in Chicago. I’ll buy whatever the hell I want and you’re going to sit down and you’re going to take it because I don’t give a damn. It’s not up to you to tell people how to spend their money. Does she ever stop being just bitchy? Does she ever stop? Every single… I mean, I have never seen a single clip of anything this woman has done where she’s just having fun and she’s just enjoying life. She’s got to come out and grievance and bitch and moan about everything. And I just don’t understand how someone who had such a silver spoon entitled life… is so mad and hates everyone and wants everybody to be as miserable as they did. I would love to have the kind of upbringing that Michelle Obama had. I’m the poor girl. Not her. You all are. Not her. Her and her rich, entitled husband. Both of them, nepo babies growing up and very well-to-do families, bank presidents and university professors and parents driving new cars and being able to go to whatever college they wanted to, never having to worry about anything. People bending over and lifting them up from the very beginning of their professional existence, launching their political campaigns in their living rooms in Chicago. raising the money, buying them a big old mansion so they can hold that status in Chicago, doing all this stuff. I’m so damn tired of it. I don’t feel bad for you. You were never in any way aggrieved more than anybody else ever. It is a yarn that you spend to try to make yourself seem more special and to maintain control. These people try to gatekeep grievance. I’m so tired of it. And she’s a racist. Michelle Obama is just an old bitchy racist. I’m done with it. I’m so don’t buy from white owned brands. That’s what a racist would say. How about you just buy whatever you want to buy because you like it? Doesn’t matter if it’s black or white or whatever. That’s not something that I do. First off, I don’t have the type of cushy existence that she does. Where I eat bonbons all day and I sit on my ass and I don’t work. I don’t have the type of free time where I’m like, let me look into the life of this designer and find out their whole backstory before I commit to a purchase. If I like it, I just buy it. It’s very easy. Pretty amazing, right? If I like it, I just buy it. I don’t care about what their backstory is. They either make things that are nice or they don’t. That’s it. But can you imagine, yeah, if you had anybody, any Republican first lady, oh, well, I try to avoid black-owned brands and others should also. Can you imagine if they had said that? Can you imagine? Good heavens. I mean, it would have been never-ending. You would have had a nonstop news cycle about it. That’s that’s racist what she’s saying. It’s divisive. It’s racist. Who is she trying to convince that she just has it so hard? I mean, I think they have issues in their marriage. You never see them together. You don’t see him anymore. It just seems like he tries to stay away with her. Her and her lookalike brother do these podcasts. Oh, I don’t care if it’s mean. I’m tired of being lectured by this old entitled woman who had such a great life and had such a cushy entitled life that she wants to look down on everyone else because you don’t share her skin color or you don’t share her retconned history. I mean, it’s like Pam Grier. What is with these women that try to make it to where they have such a hard coming up? They try to rewrite history and act like, oh, we had such a hard week. You had no idea. Michelle Obama does not know struggle. She does not know poverty. Not in the way some of us do. I don’t want to hear it. And I’m not going to feel bad and be told that I have to shut up because of my skin color. Racists. Not going to have it. Good heavens. You know what would be great if she went out there? And just said, you know, just buy whatever you want to buy. It doesn’t matter. Support who you want to support. Support whatever brand you want to support. That’s it. That’s it. That’s all you got to do. That would be a lot more unifying and a lot, but it doesn’t get clicks. I don’t know. I guess there’s a portion of the population out there that loves this grievance peddling. Like, I can’t get into it. It just annoys me to no end. I just can’t. Then she says this cut 30. She would never consider running for president because she is not likable. She doesn’t have the credentials and she’s not likable. So I don’t even know why we’re entertaining this stupid idea. Listen to this. This is 30.
SPEAKER 21 :
You said don’t even look at me about running because you all are lying. You’re not ready for a woman. You’re not.
SPEAKER 04 :
There are men out there that were not going to vote for a woman. Let’s just be real about it. And let’s put that on the table and talk about, well, what’s that about? Let’s not be mad because I made the statement. The young women that we’re talking to keep climbing. We need you and know that you may come up short, but keep going.
SPEAKER 13 :
What does this even mean? Nobody cares. All I heard was a bunch of word salad that was miles wide and inches deep shallowness. That’s supposed that’s like cosplaying as some sort of analysis or some sort of intellectual deep dive. No. What is this? First off, you’re just not likable. That’s why they would never vote for you. Like Hillary Clinton wasn’t likable. Like Kamala Harris wasn’t likable. There are women out there who are likable. Margaret Thatcher was likable. There’s other women in the United States that are. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is likable. They’re likable people. They come across. They’re amiable. They’re friendly. They’re not constantly trying to put you down by acting like they’ve had it so much harder than you, even though they actually haven’t. They don’t say racist things like you should avoid brands based on skin color. They don’t say stuff like that. That’s why people don’t want to vote for you. And you’re just not qualified to do it. Sorry, but working as an attorney and being a nepo baby, that’s not enough of a qualification. Can we just move past the nepo baby age? That would be great. It’s a problem that’s pervasive in every aspect of society, including politics and especially right-leaning politics. It’s so bad. Can we just get past it? I get so tired of this. It’s so tired. So I don’t know. I wish that… There is a subsection of the American population that just is grievance mongering. I feel like, though, it’s kind of dissipating. Although you have this. This is Sonny Hostin, cut 24. Let’s just go ahead and do a trifecta of mind-numbing stupidity. This is cut 24.
SPEAKER 25 :
People don’t have cars, don’t have driver’s licenses. So it’s sort of a vestige of, I think, post-slavery laws where black people had to prove their right to vote. And oftentimes they couldn’t vote because they couldn’t pass some crazy test or they didn’t have the appropriate ID. It also affects women, women that are married, maybe one person. Your passport reflects something that’s different on your birth certificate or on your driver’s license. So really the bottom line is voter suppression. And I agree with him 100%.
SPEAKER 13 :
It’s brilliant. She’s upset because you have to have a voter ID. Is she mad because you have to have an ID to buy liquor? Yes. Is she mad? Is that slave codes because you got to show an ID to get in a club? Is it slave codes because you got to show an ID to rent a car or to get utilities or to do any other stuff? I’m just so tired of it. I’m so tired of the grievance peddling. I’m so tired of it. That’s all they are, and that’s why they’re losing. They’re losing. Nobody cares about it. Nobody wants to entertain this. They don’t want to entertain this. A few other things. To make sure that we’re getting we’ve been unpacking a lot of things, Greenland Islamism, we’ve been getting into NATO, etc. As well as, oh, we got to touch on this, where to even start. So, whoa, what is happening in Virginia? Affordability is now a joke. One of the first things, well, they’re also reducing penalties for violent sexual attacks. That’s true. But also they’re introducing new retail and sales taxes. All the Virginia Democrats in a single bill, listen to this, they’re levying retail sales and use of tax on everything, on all what they say are services, admissions, charges for recreation, fitness, sports facilities, non-medical personal devices, counseling. dry cleaning, laundry services, companion animal care, residential home repair or maintenance, landscaping, cleaning services, vehicle and engine repair, any kind of repair to any tangible personal property at all, any storage of tangible personal property, any delivery or shipping of any services, any travel, any event, any aesthetic planning service, and any digital service. This is when I would start paying in cash under the table. We need to make a non-digital economy great again, honestly. I would be paying cash for all of this and I wouldn’t be marking any of it down. Not a single bit of it. They are going to ruin that. They’re turning Virginia into California. Did they just get tired of having wins and they decided, you know what, let’s go royally blank ourselves. Let’s go do it. How in the world does something like this happen? How in the world does this happen? The amount of taxes and how do you have a tax on a service when there’s no transfer of goods? How is that a tax? How do you tax that? I mean, what in the world? But that’s what they’re putting out. That’s what people voted for. That’s what the majority said. I realize not all Virginians voted for it, but a majority did. So you’re just going to now apparently it’s going to be more expensive to live in Virginia. Think about how all of that everything that that’s applicable towards. Are we so if you don’t record the transaction and there’s no record of the transaction. Right. This is wow. People are going to start leaving Virginia. That’s what’s going to happen. They’re going to wreck the economy on that state. Didn’t they have a budget surplus? So they’re they decide they’re going to raise taxes after having it, because that’s what I remember reading about that under Yunkin. So now they’re they’re going to raise taxes because they have a budget surplus. What are they going to do with all that money? I mean, you’re talking about. I mean, it really is class warfare. Also, I’m curious as to like the, you know, Uber drivers and DoorDash and, you know, people who do those types of services. How is that? You can say it’s class warfare. But then when you look at the individual that is that is selling those providing those services, I mean, these are blue collared working people. They’re going to be slammed by this. because there’s going to be a reduction in demand because people aren’t going to want to pay exorbitant taxes on every single thing out there. And also how, so here’s the more practical aspect of it. How do you even assess all of this and bring it into compliance? Are they going to have to expand all of their, I mean, their tax assessors and their auditors And they’re the people who do the billing. And then what about lawyers who are handling penalties and going after people who are not compliant with this? I mean, how in the world? That’s you’re creating an entire other bureaucratic wing in that state. This is why elections are important. This is why state and local elections are important.

SPEAKER 13 :
Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. And we make sure you sign up for. the uh newsletter chapter and verse because there’s a lot of good stuff that’s gone out there on the late including some we’re kind of having some fun stuff with uh some of the commentators out there as of late which i’m not going to get into on my program but you can go read about it over on the on sub stack a couple of other things to get into because we’ve been touching on the davos stuff etc uh and the ongoing uh pushback i think not pushback but i think misdirection of uh expectation, blame, analysis, whatever Trump as it pertains to Greenland NATO. We’ll keep watching that. Apparently, though, who was it? Did you say King Kevin Newsom was very upset because he really wanted his time to shine at Davos and he was not given that opportunity. What happened? Where’s he at? He was supposed to speak.
SPEAKER 14 :
Apparently he had two speaking engagements that were scheduled. I don’t know about how bad Trump is, I guess. And so basically, I guess, because the transcript of those speeches went out and Trump was like, why would I? Why would I even let him do this?
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 14 :
So he says, yeah, no, thanks, Gav. Appreciate it, though.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah. No. Well, he’s mad about it. Now he’s I kind of think that maybe he was just told perhaps that he was going to be able to have some time. Why is he even there? I mean, I get it that he wants to run for president and and he just keeps making mistakes. But he’s playing this grifter game very well. He’s playing this grifter game quite well. He just but he’s not likable. Like with Michelle Obama, she’s not likable. Gavin Newsom is not likable. He’s not a likable guy. Like some people are likable. Like Trump is likable. Some people are just not likable and I don’t think he is. So is anybody really going to miss him speaking at that? No. At the WEF thing? No, nobody is. Nobody is. A few other things. Let’s see. To make sure that we’re hitting. I love how globalism was called out earlier today. Scott Besson said that Europe is still buying Russian oil, which they are. They absolutely are. Ursula von der Leyen was saying Greenland’s status as a territory is non-negotiable. The Danes will enforce it militarily, though. You know, by the way, in Greenland, you can’t own your own property. Yeah, you can’t own your own property. You cannot own your own property at all. You only can lease it from the state. There’s no private property ownership on Greenland. Interesting. All right. Today in stupidity came.
SPEAKER 14 :
All right, we don’t have exactly enough time to play this, but Sunny Hostin, and you played this earlier, just like 20 minutes ago. She talked about how somehow requiring ID to vote is the same thing as denying women and black people. the ability to vote. She’s said some really stupid things in her life, and a lot of it’s been recent. This tops it. This pretty much tops it also. Sonny, thank you very much. You and the DEI hires at The View are always given.
SPEAKER 13 :
There you go. Right there. Grievance mongering at its finest. We should have invented that industry. I kind of feel sad that I didn’t. Folks, that does it for us today. Have a great rest of your day. I’ll be back behind the mic with you tomorrow. Get your French toast supplies.
SPEAKER 23 :
Regime change sounds great, but what’s the real story in Venezuela? Maduro’s captured, but his entire apparatus is still there. Are they truly liberated? Will the U.S. have to cut a deal with whoever’s left even after this operation? Check out the Watchdog on Wall Street podcast on Apple, Spotify, wherever you get your podcasts.
