Democrats clean sweep elections across the country including Socialist Zohran Mamdani winning the Mayoral Race in New York City. Reports show the Democrats were told to remain firm to keep the government shut down until after Election Day. Exit polls show young women and men are moving back to the Democrat Party. Leftist podcaster Hasan Piker declares it was a tragedy that the USA defeated the Soviet Union in the Cold War at Mamdani’s Election party. Brett Cooper pretends she doesn’t understand why people are calling Nick Fuentes a Nazi. Proposition 50 passes in California allowing gerrymandering for Democrats.
SPEAKER 16 :
Thank you to those so often forgotten by the politics of our city who made this movement their own. I speak of Yemeni bodega owners and Mexican abuelas. Senegalese taxi drivers and Uzbek nurses. Trinidadian line cooks and Ethiopian aunties. Yes, aunties.
SPEAKER 10 :
Hmm. This was all such virtue signaling from him. Last night, let’s just not play around with it. It was a bloodbath for the GOP. And there’s a lot of stuff to take out of this because it was across enough, a diverse enough amount of states with different voting blocks that there are a couple of themes that have already turned out. And if Republicans do not get a handle on it, there’s not going to be a 28. There will not be a 2028 for Republicans. It’s not going to happen. So welcome to the program. Dana Lash with you. It’s audio only today because your girl is probably not going to sleep for two days. We’ve got to race out and head to the debate. And then, of course, we were up late watching all of this last night. So we just don’t have the resources for video today. But It’ll be back normal tomorrow. But this whole thing last night, absolute bloodbath. Absolute bloodbath. I mean, you ended up getting… I mean, New York City is now Marxist. It’s Marxist. Now, I think… There’s a couple of ways to look at it. I think it’s incredibly myopic. The people who say, well, this is just, you know, it’s New York City, Jersey and Virginia. These are ones purple. And these are areas that have always gone Democrat. That’s actually not true. I will say the bottom didn’t totally fall out with some of the Trump counties carrying the ones that he had last election. he kept them even though he wasn’t on the ballot. But there was a major decrease. And in Virginia, Democrats flipped all of the local races that had been held by incumbents for over 30 years. That’s incredibly significant. That is, I mean, if you cannot see that, then we have no hope of altering or correcting course at all whatsoever. You had two Democrats in Georgia. There was a local race in Georgia that two Democrats beat. So this isn’t even just about blue states. Now, Georgia is more of a reddish purple state. This is an issue for Republicans. And when you look in these local races, Democrats performed very well. And I mean, in Pennsylvania, there was they lost school boards there. There were local elections that they lost. There was a statewide statewide judge race that lost by plus 15. So you can’t say that it’s just Democrat states or just some blue states. You’ve got you can’t ignore all the down ballot races. That’s that’s not a smart take to have. And I say that because I had a couple of people write me early this morning and say, well, you know, Dana, I hope that you’re not going to be, you know, totally despondent. That’s not the word they use, but me. I hope you’re not going to be totally despondent about all of this, et cetera, et cetera. You know, it’s just New Jersey and New York. It’s actually a heck of a lot more than that. It’s a lot of these down ballot races. Plus, when you look at the exit polling, and we’re going to get into this, there’s one thing that’s incredibly clear, very clear on all of it, as to what was driving it. Now, the issue with New York City, I mean, quite a bit, I mean, a lot of it is, it’s people there wanted a Marxist. In fact, if you look, if you want to break it down even further, Many who voted for Mamdani weren’t even in New York on 9-11. I think that’s incredibly telling. Of them, the people who were in New York for fewer than five years, 83%. And these are people who voted. People who voted for Mamdani had been there for fewer than five years. So 83% of his voters had been there for fewer than five years. For those who had been there for five to 10 years, it was 76% of his voters. 10 plus years, but not born here, it was 54%. People born in New York City, it was 34%. As compared to the people who voted for Cuomo… Now, Cuomo ended up getting, I was born in New York City, 45% took that for Cuomo. 38%, 10 plus years. It’s completely the inverse of Mandani. 38%, 10 plus years, but not born here. 18%, 5 to 10 years. And 15%, fewer than 5 years. This is measurable with Sliwa as well, who is an absolute spoiler in this. I mean, I don’t care if you like him. That’s just the way it is. He was an absolute spoiler in this race. He took away a significant chunk. Now, it’s not just him. I think, yes, not having a strategy to thwart Mamdani. Yes, he’s culpable of that. Nice guy, but he’s culpable of it. But also Cuomo’s a moron and Democrats are idiots. They ran a guy who killed people’s grandparents. That was going to be your big alternative to Ma’am Donnie is to run a guy who got accused of all kinds of stuff, the least of which, not actually the least of which, one of the greatest ones. He killed a lot of people’s elderly parents with COVID policies. So all of this stuff comes into play. That’s incredibly significant. And you know what? That’s also like that in some of these other areas, too. Gosh, in Kansas last night, in Wichita, Kansas, they lost two conservative school board seats. Republicans do not come out for smaller elections, and this is why they lose. Democrats don’t beat Republicans. Republicans don’t show up. So if you want to call the trickle a blue wave, it looks like a blue wave when you don’t even have a trickle. I mean, this is all around… All around. I mean, this Virginia, so many Virginia, there’s legislature flipped. And so if people think, well, it’s just blue states and you miss all this other stuff, you’re disconnected from the bigger picture. You can’t just say stuff like that and then kind of brush it off. This is the canary in the coal mine, guys. Now, as to some of this other stuff, And like I said, we’re going to dive into it. People are feeling the price crunch. This is the number one thing. The number one thing that I’m hearing from people. They’re saying, look, things are expensive. Don’t do what Biden did and pretend that that didn’t exist, that it didn’t happen, that things are not expensive. Don’t do what Biden did and act like people aren’t paying more for stuff. I mean, heck, one of the reasons that we paused our studio expansion is because the prices skyrocketed and it ended up being three times more than the original quote. And it’s still that way. There are a lot of people that are hurting that can’t pay bills. And the longer the tariffs go on without concrete deals, the worse it’s going to get. Now you can say, yeah, but we got to let this, got to let him cook. No one’s arguing with that. But there’s a price to it, guys. And Republicans, while I think that they’ve held the line on lockdown, a lot of people are looking at their bank accounts and they don’t care if Republicans held the line on the shutdown. They don’t care if they’ve held the line on the shutdown. They’re looking at this stuff and they’re thinking, ugh. But I only have X amount in my bank account. Oof. I don’t really have… Oh, man. Everything’s more expensive. That’s the problem here. That’s a major problem. So, these are all things that are going to have to get… We’re going to have to look at all of these things. All of them. And the economic factor cannot be overstated enough. Can’t be overstated enough. So… This, and looking at some of this, and we’ve got a lot of audio for you as well, and looking at some of this, let me pull up my audio list here. Because part of this, in fact, I think one of the good sound bites, look at this is cut 19. This also goes into it. This is what DeSantis said about some of these conservatives leaving New York and going to Florida. Listen to this.
SPEAKER 14 :
Well, first of all, Jack would have won four years ago and he would have won tonight. If you just take all the Republicans who’ve left New Jersey since I’ve been governor and moved to Florida, if they could have still voted in New Jersey, he would have won both of those races. Same thing with New York City, maybe not a Republican, but, you know, Giuliani would not be able to win with this electorate the way it is now. Because what happened, Sean, is a leftist politician gets in, whether it’s destroying a state like California, Illinois, New York, whether it’s a city like New York City or Chicago, and the people that it tends to drive off are the center-right voters. And so when they leave, the resulting electorate is actually more liberal. That’s how you go from Lori Lightfoot to Brandon Johnson in Chicago, which is digging the hole deeper. That’s why you’ve gone from eight years at de Blasio, now leapfrogging here for to have Mondani, who’s even going to be worse.
SPEAKER 10 :
That’s true. I mean, you can’t. I mean, people, of course, are going to go where it’s better to raise your raise their families. But, man, I’m telling you what we saw with this, what we saw last night. It was, one of the first questions I had was I was wondering where the Republican, the RNC chair is. Where’s the RNC chair? We’ll find out as we do this post-mortem what outreach has been like. How much did that affect it? But I’m going to tell you there’s not going to be a lot that it can do when people are worried about the economy and it comes down to something Carville said during the 90s during Clinton’s campaign it’s the economy stupid it always is going to be the economy every single time if people are hurting that’s going to show up and that’s exactly what ended up happening that and Republicans Republicans are very lackadaisical when it comes to local and municipal elections they always always always do And that’s that plays into this as well. Although I you know, some of the turnout in Virginia wasn’t as low as it has been before. In New York, it’s just not a New York man. New York is it’s it’s going to be tough. Democrats have a major. They’re going to feel like they have a mandate. The other thing, too, is that they’re going to continue with their violent rhetoric. When you have somebody like Jay Jones who can win. We’ll talk more about that here coming up. We have a lot to get to. As we move, our partners that help bring you the program, it’s our friends at Preborn. They meet women where they are and help fight the narrative that comes from society that’s just pelted at these women. That these women, if they’re facing an unplanned pregnancy, they are not strong enough to see it through. They’re not strong enough to be a mother, to raise a child. Preborn meets them where they’re at and says, yeah, you are. And they not only do that, they introduce these babies to the moms through an ultrasound. And there are numerous studies that show when a woman hears her baby’s heartbeat for the first time, that baby’s chance at life actually more than doubles. I’ve been saying doubles, but it actually more than doubles. And they have saved since 2007 over 380,000 babies. They’ve counseled over half a million women. Do you know the cost of an ultrasound is only $28? If someone said $28 and you can save this person’s life, would you spend $28 to save someone’s life? Because that’s literally what the question is. That’s what you’re doing. And you can even give in a bigger way if you’re able. $15,000 puts an ultrasound machine in a needy women’s clinic. All gifts are tax deductible. Every dollar matters. And I’m going to tell you, abortion hasn’t gone away just because Roe v. Wade’s been overturned. It’s still the leading cause of death globally. And now over 60% of it is from abortifacients, morning after pills. Help Preborn fight for life. And you can do this by dialing pound 250 and say the keyword baby. It’s very simple.

SPEAKER 06 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 10 :
So first up, a UPS plane crash near the Louisville airport last night. This was, the video looked just horrific and a lot of the photos as well. A US MD-11 plane crashed shortly after takeoff. According to the FAA, it was just after 5 p.m. local time. It was headed to an airport in Honolulu. The crash is being investigated along with the National Transportation Safety Board that is leading it. Three crew members were on the plane. Apparently there weren’t any fatalities. But they had a massive plume of black smoke that could be seen for quite a long distance. A lot of photos of that as well. Another reason the Fed should lower rates affordability was push the U.S. median first-time homebuyer to age 40. And not only should the Fed lower rates, but we should have… And even more, I mean, we need to be cutting taxes for people right now. We need to be stopping government spending, which, you know, the only reason we aren’t right now is because of a shutdown. We haven’t done anything to reduce government spending, which is one of the reasons why people are saying that we can’t lower taxes because of the government spending. And so until we get a handle on how government is operating, you know, the Fed can do whatever it’s going to do and it’s not going to matter much. Unfortunately, that’s the position that we’re in. And if people don’t believe it, then tell all the folks who voted that last night. uh also a first of its kind ai food pantry opens in brooklyn i don’t trust ai anything it’s the future they’re saying it’s maybe the future of fighting hunger wait until ma’am donnie shuts it down uh it’s the met council unveiled a state-of-the-art pantry warehouse they said it’s the first ai warehouse and pantry 22 000 square feet and they said that uh they’re it’s helping with efficiency And it can tell you what pantries, which pantries need more food, which need less food, which have specific needs. It sounds like a database more so than AI, but there it is. An Oakland mom and her teen daughter were arrested in a rubber mallet attack at a downtown cafe in Oakland. This is weird. A mallet, a rubber mallet. She was arrested and charged with attacking another woman, robbing the victim of a cell phone, and contributing to the delinquency of her two daughters, who allegedly joined in the attack, you know, because the family that hits people with a rubber mallet together stays together, apparently. When she was arrested, She’s 37. She said that the victim had started the altercation by using racial slurs and then filming them. And she said that she then hit her with a mallet, ripped out her hair and took her phone. The phone was found in her possession and one of the daughters was seen swinging the mallet on cafe surveillance footage, which didn’t exactly support What the mother was saying there, what she was alleging. This is exciting because the first mummy was fantastic. Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz are apparently teaming up for a fourth mummy movie. They said it had been in the plans and the works for decades and that they are reuniting. The first one came out in 1999. The second one was really good, too. in 2001, but Frazier alone did 2008, and it was alright. The one in 2017 did not have the same draw, so now they’re talking about bringing those two back. That’s going to be interesting. I think they both, that would be nice nostalgia. We need something a little nice, do we not? I think we do. We need something a little nice. And then I had one more headline here for you, if I can remember to grab it out of here. Well, we’ll have to wait. I’ll have to save it for next time. We have a lot more on the way, including What was the big motivating factor? Like I said, it was the economy. This is going to be a three alarm fire if the GOP doesn’t get a handle on it. We’re going to dive in and discuss all of it. Stick with us. It’s our friends over at All Family Pharmacy.

SPEAKER 01 :
So many people who participated and were brought together by his campaign because they were not just tasked with defeating a Republican. They were also tasked with defeating the old guard of the Democratic Party that essentially led us to many of the perils of this moment. So he had a two-front war to win, which is what makes his victory so deeply impressive.
SPEAKER 10 :
Hmm. Oh, boy. So she the thing is, is that she doesn’t have that’s AOC. She doesn’t have any legs outside of her district. She just doesn’t have any. She only has pool right there, right in her district. And that’s why I’ve always been hesitant to say that she’s like the future of the party. But you have enough of them there that from, you know, from the pool of Marxist candidates, you’ll get one that’s going to have national appeal. This is just that was from his victory speech last night. And there they had a lot of energy. They had a lot of energy at their little victory party. Now. I don’t know. You know, I was thinking, too, we mentioned this yesterday now that the elections are over. They’re going to the shutdown is going to be over, too. They’re going to go ahead and that’s going to be all over, Cain. As you know, we talked about this yesterday. It’s going to be over there. It’s going to they it accomplished its goal. The whole point was to mobilize everybody ahead of elections, and that’s exactly what they did. That’s what they wanted to do. And yesterday, remember, before I think we were even, I think it was what, four or five o’clock, it came in that negotiations, they were already in the middle of negotiations again to reopen government after not having been so for a number of days. So, see, I mean, they’re just waiting. They’re just waiting. Democrats in the Senate were really nervous about it. And Schumer was like, well, wait till the voting’s over. And that’s exactly what they did. In fact, one of the things they said that Mark Wayne Mullen was out there saying that they had a bunch of backroom meetings and Democrat senators were told that they needed to not move or negotiate with the Republicans until after the election. And then they were they were going to do it because they thought that their base that they needed was. In some of these, you know, New Jersey and Virginia, they thought that, well, if we open, if the government’s opened up, they’re not going to show up to vote. Washington Post touched on this, said a bipartisan group of senators was working to craft a deal in which Congress would pass three full year appropriations bills to fund some agencies, along with a short term bill that would reopen the rest of government. Now, keep in mind, we’re going to be back in the same position in three months, passing the C.R., This is another reason why I’m like, let’s not blow up the filibuster because they’re going to make a deal. The only reason they’re not making a deal is because this was an agitation tool to get out the vote. That’s it. That is it. So this is a boy. I’m telling you what. Yeah, they had eight Democrats, apparently, including John Ossoff, that were in the meeting. And they decided they I think that they were planting stories. Oh, well, there’s some moderate Democrats to just sort of like drag it out a little bit. But they’ve already been. And then towards like four or five o’clock yesterday, that’s when Senate Democrats apparently approached Republican senators about the Obamacare subsidies and compromising on that if they could get the CR passed. So that’s, this is all, all of it is theater. Every bit of it is theater. Every single bit. So there, you know, I hear stuff like, you know, Schumer at this point, where’s this cut at? This is, yeah, cut 13. He was asked if he voted. What a weird, listen to this.
SPEAKER 09 :
Look, I voted and I look forward to working with the next mayor to help New York City.
SPEAKER 10 :
He voted, so he didn’t vote for Mamdani. He didn’t want to say it in case somebody found his vote. So he didn’t want to vote for Cuomo, you know, because you know he didn’t vote for Saliwa. By the way, Mamdani says that he did not get a congratulatory call from Andrew Cuomo or Eric Adams last night. He said that he got one from Curtis Saliwa. Hmm. interesting i don’t know so we’ll see i don’t know i mean this is going to be weird in new york they’ve gotten a full-on socialist i mean he literally when he started his speech last night he didn’t say a single time that he was proud to be an american he didn’t even say he was proud to be a new yorker he literally started off quoting communist eugene debs quote i can see the dawn of a better day for humanity he started off his speech literally quoting a communist So when we say that he’s a communist, he’s a communist. That’s like, you know, Nick Fuentes literally saying over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over in video all over social media. and typing it on X that he’s a Nazi and that he likes Hitler, and if we call him a Nazi, guess what? If he says all that, that he’s a Nazi, and we call him a Nazi, that’s accurate, correct? So when Mandani identifies as a socialist, when he starts his victory speech off, the first sentence is quoting a communist. Yeah, you’re a communist. That’s exactly what that is. I mean, that’s how he started his speech. And apparently not a single person Good night. I mean, this is just insane. None of the media that was assembled there. None of them. None of them caught that. I’m like, wait a minute. This sounds familiar. Oh, yeah, because it’s a famous communist quote. They’re not even trying to hide it anymore. They need to change the name of their party and just go back. They need to bring just have the hammer and sickle. Goodness. But you know, one thing, though, came that I was told. Was that there weren’t going to be any more elections because Trump was king. What happened last night? What was that?
SPEAKER 06 :
I didn’t see any kings anyway.
SPEAKER 10 :
What happened last night? We weren’t going to have any of those things. An election? Weird. Yeah. I mean… Now… I think I also want to be some of the stuff that I’ve seen in terms of how a lot of this with the economy and how a lot of this is being presented. So I saw some people saying, well, you know what, maybe if Trump. didn’t tear down the East Wing to build a giant gold ballroom while SNAP payments were stopped. Maybe this wouldn’t be. I think that is a really myopic. I’m not trying to be mean, but it’s a very myopic take. Because the idea that it was the ballroom and not kitchen table issues is idiotic. It was kitchen table issues. It was kitchen table economic issues to be specific. That’s absolutely true. So I mean, Republicans are going to have to figure out how to get a handle on it. I don’t know how else to put it. They’ve got to figure out how they’re going to remedy this. The other thing that I noticed, you know what was a real big story last night? Younger women. Democrats are starting to also do better with young men. Young men, when they broke it down, really, for some reason, and Republicans need to figure out why this is, they had, Democrats ended up getting a significant number of young men. It was really, really young women as well last night. Very much so. In fact, let me look at some of this, pulling up my data. So you had young women in terms of, and these were people under age 54, 81% from, or just women, 81% from Andani in New York. And he ended up getting a lot of the 35 and under. 80% for Sherrill in New Jersey, 78% for Spanberger in Virginia. These are from exit polling data. And So it’s still kind of a pretty sizable gender gap, but they did increase the gap with younger men or decreased it with younger men. When you broke it down, especially for instance, this is from exit polling data in Virginia, CNN’s compiled some of, well, just specifically for Meares and Jones by gender, men was 58%. So they had a plus 50%. 18 spread, Jones got 40%. But for women, Jones got 55%. Meares got 43%. He actually did more to close the gap than other candidates, which was interesting because you had a female in Virginia. Very interesting indeed. Now, in New Jersey, You can’t say that it was also about candidate quality. I saw this a lot last night as well. And I think some of this was related to Winsome Earl Sears in Virginia. I like Winsome Earl Sears. I think she’s a solid candidate. I think that she has good ideas. I don’t think that she’s good at retail politics. And I think that as a talker, as a messenger, she’s… And this is not any kind of reflection on her personal character. She’s… That’s not her strong… suit that is not her skill set to be a talker to be a messenger I think that she struggles some of her not because our ideas are bad just some people can talk and some people don’t that’s just the way it is you know some people can draw some people don’t it’s just the way it is and I think that that that she struggled with that this is one of the reasons why i’ve always been really cautious to treat elected officials and politics like like another hollywood because people get so hung up on personality that they forget about character and merit and what these people can actually do like colin coolidge was apparently you know just basically a cold fish but he was an amazing leader and very decisive and had excellent policy ideas and and we benefited from him as president immensely But we don’t judge people that way anymore. So part of the downside is that you get really good candidates caught up in this. But if they don’t have the Hollywood it factor, if they’re not out there smoozing and acting like Gavin Newsom, then, you know, they kind of they get tossed out with the bathwater. And that’s kind of part and parcel of what happened, I think, partly in Virginia. So when I hear people and I’ve had Republican friends say that she was a weak candidate, I disagree with that. I think that she’s had, you know, a pretty solid, you know, voting body. However. What complicates that story, that story about candidate quality, is New Jersey was within two points of Virginia last night. And Ciccarelli was a really good candidate. And he could do all of the things that maybe Winston Merle Sears wasn’t her skill set. So that kind of blows that up. You can’t… It kind of blows that up. So… it’s, um, there’s a lot of things that Republicans are going to have to mitigate going forward. And I don’t even know where the heck the next RNC chair is or where the RNC chair is. The problem with this is that, you know, previously, especially during any type of election, the RNC chair, you’d see them all the time everywhere. You would see them all the time on, uh, cable news, you’d see them all the time out there everywhere. I mean, the current chair of the RNC is Joe Gruters. The guy from Florida. Remember, he was kind of bad on guns in Florida and fought DeSantis on it. So he’s the chair of the RNC. Have you seen Joe Gruters anywhere? Have you seen Joe Gruters at all talking about any of this on any? I have never seen such an absence of an RNC chair in my entire political career. I have not seen him out there everywhere. And I question why he is even the chair of the RNC because he didn’t lead anything in Florida. He certainly wasn’t a big fundraiser in Florida. I know that. I have that down to fact. He was not a big fundraiser in Florida. He was not even really popular amongst the legislature in Florida. You cannot have a guy like that as chair of the RNC. Chair of the RNC has got to be a whiner and diner. I mean, that’s literally a PR position. I mean, separate whatever their policies were, but separate Joe Gruters from people like, I mean, even Reince Priebus. My gosh, you saw him everywhere to the point where it was annoying. Even Ronna McDaniel. You saw Ronna McDaniel all the time on television. Hell, people probably thought she was a contributor at Fox. She was on TV so much. Have you ever seen Joe Gruters? He’s been there for months. Have you seen him? No, you haven’t. What is happening? You would think with an election that the RNC chair would be out there, but they’re not. We have more on the way to digest because Democrats elected a guy who, you know, the violent text that Jay Jones sent. One of the things that I keep coming back to with this story is that this is a guy, you know, he was talking about his opponent’s family, his opponent’s kids. He had met this guy. He met this guy. He met this guy’s wife. He met this guy’s kids. He knew them. And he still was able in a text to talk about how he wanted to kill their kids and have the mother watch them die in her arms. How do you talk like that if you meet somebody? Well, he’s the new AG of Virginia. We have more to roll into. I absolutely have zero issues in using a firearm or lethal force to defend myself or somebody else, my loved ones. I don’t care. I absolutely will because it’s my Second Amendment right. I also know that a lot of times you have private property restrictions, municipal restrictions that make that impossible. You can’t carry like college kids, for instance. You could be 20 years old and live in a different town. And you have to like maybe your classes end and it’s dark outside. You have to walk back defenseless to your vehicle, to your apartment or wherever. Something like a burner gun is ideal for the situations that I’m talking about because you do not want to be left entirely defenseless. And a lot of these places already have restrictions on knives and all of that. So why not get something that has the ability to give you a chance to be safe and defend yourself? Burna Gun shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. They have the SD, the Burna SD, which was their most popular model. I think it’s being overtaken by their new one, the Compact Launcher. That’s the CL model. It’s basically the size of a phone. There’s no recoil, easy target acquisition. And if you compare this to stun guns or anything like that, they have maybe one or two rounds with that. This is 15 rounds in a cartridge with the CL. So you have a lot of chances there, right? And it doesn’t care about gun-free zone signs. It does not care about… There’s no background check. There’s no fee. There’s no tax stamp. There’s no any of that. And it ships right to your door. So this gives you an ability to at least have some means of defense. And you really should check it out. I’ll never understand why people don’t diversify their weapons array. You carry different calibers. You carry blades. Why not have… something for when you are restricted beyond your constitutional rights. Take advantage of Berna’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale.

SPEAKER 07 :
Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States.
SPEAKER 13 :
It pisses me off that people who have not walked in my shoes, who have no idea who really I am as a person, get to tell me how I get to identify myself. So it’s like, I was like, you can’t tell me how I get to identify myself. You can’t tell me how I get to call myself. Like, screw you. Like, that’s not okay.
SPEAKER 10 :
Hmm. Yeah. So KJP with her book, she’s having a real one. She’s having a day. Is anyone reading our book? I haven’t checked to see if it’s even selling well.
SPEAKER 06 :
I think it’s rightful criticism, though. I mean, if you think about it, she’s always out there talking about how gay and black she is all the time. All the time. And so when people are like, hey, can you pull back?
SPEAKER 10 :
How dare you mention what I’ve been talking about?
SPEAKER 06 :
Pull back on that little and then maybe talk about the book some more.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, exactly. It’s just so goofy. The only reason that it’s even… is because she brings it up. Right. Every time, black and gay, black and gay, almost like it’s a song. Red and yellow, red and yellow, black and gay, black and gay. I mean, it’s just like nonstop. And now she’s like, how dare you?
SPEAKER 06 :
Quit bringing it up, guys.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah. I mean, it’s, yeah, it’s insane. Absolutely insane. I don’t know. You know, I look at it like, I’m glad that she’s not in the job anymore because it was ridiculous. Um, I don’t know. She’s such a non-entity to me now. Yeah. But I do miss her mispronunciations.
SPEAKER 06 :
That’s her classic.
SPEAKER 10 :
I do miss her. Yeah, I do miss that. I miss her mispronunciations. The Nordstrom pipeline. I mean, who could forget?
SPEAKER 06 :
It’s a bougie pipeline.
SPEAKER 10 :
It’s a very bougie pipeline. Is that how she said emeritus? Emeritus?
SPEAKER 06 :
Emeritus. Yeah, like it’s a medical condition.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, exactly. So coming up, the economy drove it. What other factors were at play that contributed to a big old, it’s a canary in a coal mine. And it’s not just, like I said, and explained in depth, it’s not just a couple of, you know, these are blue areas. No, there were down ballot races in a number of states that were not blue areas that were affected. We’ll talk. Stick with us. The folks over at Caltech, you guys are very familiar with Caltech, Florida based company. They have a peacekeepers program that they’re doing. It supports people who protect people. our community’s military and law enforcement and church security teams and school resource officers. Faith-based teams and SROs often rely on small concealable pistols that have limited range and power. So Caltech is offering long guns to solve that problem, folding compact for discrete carry and deploying in seconds with full rifle capability. Their participants also get mission-ready support like extra platform testing, armor training, and direct peacekeepers pricing for those budget-conscious organizations. It’s already active, the program, so they’ve equipped over a couple dozen churches throughout the faith-based security network in every Brevard County school, and they’re working with the faith-based security network, giving members access to all of this training, security insights, and mission-ready tools that are tailored to those faith environments. If you’re interested in the new peacekeepers program, Use the contact form at caltechweapons.com slash Dana. That’s caltechweapons.com slash Dana.
SPEAKER 08 :
What do you think it means that this guy ran as a socialist and anti-communism didn’t work to stop him? That’s big.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, I think we are in the heart of the imperial core. This is the country that defeated the USSR, unfortunately. And the reality of the matter is there’s a lot of antagonism. There’s no class consciousness in the United States of America. It’s one of the things I try to address every day with my commentary.
SPEAKER 10 :
So that’s that the left’s Joe Rogan, Hassan Piker. That’s what they’re trying to make him to be. He was at Zoran Mamdani’s election party and he said it was a tragedy that the U.S. defeated the Soviet Union in the Cold War. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you at the top of the second hour. This is what I’m talking about. If you don’t listen to some of these podcasters, you might want to keep your powder dry. This is some of the stuff that, that’s not even the worst thing that Hasan Piker’s done. I mean, he’s literally platformed a Hamas terrorist. He literally had a member of Hamas on his show. And that’s, he’s a poster boy of the left. They invite him, they have him work on their campaigns, all of it. And he says it was a tragedy that the U.S. defeated the Soviet Union in the Cold War. Pretty unbelievable. And that was at Mandani’s party, although it could have sounded like, you know, it could have been at a woke Reich party, to be honest. I mean, what’s the difference? What’s the difference between what he said and then saying that you think Stalin is great? They’re the same person saying that you think Stalin’s great, like Fuentes did, or talking about the woke right. I mean, those are the same things. The same things. I wanted to play this because this was really unfortunate last night. This is cut on that. And then we’re going to move on to some of this other stuff with the election. This is cut 24. This is a podcaster defending, I guess, Nick Fuentes. Listen.
SPEAKER 02 :
So blinded by your ridiculous, insane hatred of Tucker Carlson that you cannot see how irresponsible and hypocritical you are being. I mean, these tweets from Ted Cruz, I’m going to read you next, are a great example of this. So just a month ago, he tweeted this. He said, they don’t kill you because you’re a Nazi. They call you a Nazi so they can kill you. Political violence is a left wing phenomenon. Enough is enough. We need to shut it down. And then in response to Fuentes and Tucker this week, he tweeted this. Trump’s bombing of the Ayatollah’s nuclear facilities made the little Nazi mad. Good. So now you’re turning around and you’re calling somebody that you don’t like a Nazi. You’re doing this out of blind rage because you’re so angry that conservative bases attitudes are rapidly changing that Nick Fuentes is getting national attention. And so you have turned around in response. You are compromising your own values and anger, which is such a dangerous precedent.
SPEAKER 10 :
I get the jump cuts all the time, but I think this is a podcaster named Brett Cooper. I think she needs to take a deep breath and slow her voice down. Because that’s a lot. But number one, Nick Fuentes literally said repeatedly that he was a Nazi and that he said that he was Hitler. And if she was unaware of this before she recorded that, that’s part of the problem. You can’t be miles wide and inches deep in politics. If you’re going to get out here and talk about this stuff, you know, you don’t make the mistake that Kevin Roberts did and be unaware of what was said before you make a video. Because otherwise it looks really bad. And we’re citing the stuff that has actually literally been said by these people with their own mouths. So if somebody comes up to you and they say that they’re a Leninist and that they love Lenin and they think Lenin was great and that Lenin’s policies were fabulous and they make video after video where it’s not just a cut or it’s not just one thing that might not be in context, like hour-long videos where they discuss it in depth, how much they love Lenin. how much they love Lenin’s policies, how they think Lenin could do so many great things in the United States. It’s fair to call them a Leninist. It’s fair to call them a communist. It’s fair to call them a Soviet. So, On that same hand, if you have someone who has spent literal hours on camera talking about Nazis, how much they like them, how much they wish those policies could be implemented in the United States, if they have tweeted out that they were Team Hitler, if they have tweeted out that why can’t Nazism work here, a number of other things, it’s pretty fair to call them by what they choose to identify as, which is a Nazi. And making a very, you know, I mean, take a breath so that people know what you’re saying. Making a video to where you’re just like motor mouth and through it with jump cuts. That’s not without having apparently known all of this is not great. It was really disappointing to see. But this is why we need to have people understand history so that they know what who these, you know, these people in history are and the things that they’ve done. So, and of course, you know, you have her coming out and then Fuentes was like, she’s great. She’s a griper, all this stuff. I’m like, oh boy. So there’s a, you know, another one for his griper army. Just really unfortunate to see, but I think it’s desperately unfair. And it seems like it’s clout chasing to accuse someone of correctly identifying someone as they have verbatim with their own mouths identified themselves. So there we are. And that’s all I’ll say on that. But I made the point last night because I saw a number of Graper, that’s what they call Nick Fuentes’ acolytes, influencers, try to blame the reaction to all of this for the losses last night. I got Matt Gaetz almost stepped in it with me this morning. And there’s a reason why Matt Gaetz had to leave his elected office and why he will never run for elected office again, because remember that investigation that they started and then he inoculated himself by stepping aside so that the ethics committee couldn’t investigate him longer. There’s a reason why he stepped out of his seat and it wasn’t due to just saying it’s not something that an innocent person I would think would do. But the point of this is that there were these influencers that were running around saying, blaming all of the people who. had a single criticism of the Fuentes interview and criticizing Fuentes for his admitted Nazism. And remember, Fuentes also hates Trump, and he actively campaigned against him in 2024. And all the people that were criticizing that, people like Jack Posobiec, I don’t know what his last name is, some of these other people, they were out there blaming all of those voters, saying, well, you guys cost the election last night, which seemed really… Just even if you don’t have a dog in the fight, I wouldn’t want anyone giving me political advice that is myopic enough to believe something like that. Because as I said, they’re ignoring kitchen table issues. And if you’re not going to pay attention to those issues, the real motivating issues for why people voted the way that they did, then you’re never going to win another election. And neither would anybody that would pay you to advise them either. So the point of this is I mentioned, I said, wow, how did I put it last night? Let me look. I had said, uh, With this, I tweeted, I guess it was last night. I said, thank goodness so many podcast hosts spent so much time hosting and defending Nazi twinks rather than host Winsome Earl Sears or Jack Cittarelli or Jason Meares or even talk redistricting. They were so helpful to the movement tonight because I saw a ton of tweets blaming the people who objected to Nick Fuentes. And then Matt Gaetz decided that he was going to step in it. And he says, hi, Dana, are you really suggesting that these candidates lost because podcasters didn’t do enough for them? And I responded. Don’t make me your Huckleberry, by the way. I said, hi, Matt. I guess you didn’t pay much attention if you missed these exact same things being said ad nauseum all of last night, prompting this response. Looks like you may have missed something. You know, it’s okay to blame people who reacted to a softball interview, but not to question the timing of a softball interview. I mean, Tucker Carlson never once had any of the people I mentioned on his show. Why didn’t anyone ask why Tucker Carlson never had Winsome Earl Sears on his show? Why has he never done a single show where he talked about Jay Jones? He’s never talked about Jay Jones ever. Don’t you think that’s pretty significant considering what happened in September? Because I do. But yet the people who criticized him spending his time talking about Fuentes and not any of the things I just mentioned, those are the people that are getting criticized by the people who hope that some of Carlson’s money falls on them. And that’s what this is all about. You know, because he has this Tucker Carlson media network and a lot of these people are angling for jobs there. And that’s the truth of it. There’s a lot of moving pieces here that you have to realize with this. And it’s true. It’s more than just power jockeying to lead the Republican Party. It’s power jockeying with the consultancy class. All of these people are K Street folks. All the people whose names I just mentioned are all K Street folks. Now, Prop 50 passed last night. Even in blood red Huntington Beach. Republicans on their city council, it’s a MAGA stronghold. Now they’re going to have a progressive Democrat, Robert Garcia, as part of their newly gerrymandered district. If Republicans do not get on this redistricting, 2026 is going to be another bloodbath. Midterms are going to be another bloodbath. bloodbath. And you know what? When I was looking at the California map for Prop 50, all of the counties that are going to lose their representation because of redistricting, they all voted against it. Really interesting, isn’t it? Republicans need to figure out redistricting. We’ve talked about redistricting on this show. But We haven’t seen some of the people who have been entertaining Fuentes do it. Just saying. Very interesting. So, and we got the Supreme Court stuff, which I’m hearing is not going very well in the administration’s favor right now. So this is a lot. Let’s get to some of this other audio that we have, because this is… There’s a lot here. There’s a lot here. So in terms of… Looking at some of the election last night, this is, let me see, which one do we want to, we got a lot of ma’am Donnie, but there’s a couple, oh, here’s it. This is audio soundbite eight. Listen to this. This is what he said at his speech last night.
SPEAKER 16 :
So Donald Trump, since I know you’re watching, I have four words for you. Turn the volume up.
SPEAKER 10 :
So he’s going to be fighting Trump. Abigail Spanberger has indicated she’s going to spend the next three years fighting him. I’m telling you, there’s… I’m telling you, this is… I don’t think Republicans had a plan for this. I really don’t. I really don’t. I really, really don’t. Now, in the meantime… We also have this. This is cut 30. This is POTUS on the filibuster.
SPEAKER 09 :
It’s time for Republicans to do what they have to do, and that’s terminate the filibuster. It’s the only way you can do it. And if you don’t terminate the filibuster, you’ll be in bad shape. We won’t pass any legislation. There’ll be no legislation passed for three and a quarter. We have three and a quarter years. That’s a long time.
SPEAKER 10 :
I don’t agree with terminating the filibuster during a time where This is over a CR that we’re going to have to be back again in three months to debate. We’re going to talk more about this here coming up, but that’s kind of a bad move. Also, Mike Johnson had a good soundbite on the raging war within the right on amplifying anti-Semitism. All Family Pharmacy has your everyday medications. They have everything from ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine. They have flu kits. They got the Tamiflu. They got sinus infection kits. They have, like I said, emergency or everyday health antibiotics. They even have Latisse. They got all of it. And everything is made with U.S. It’s all U.S. manufactured with U.S. precursors. So you’re not getting any. communist Chinese party medicines here. But it’s all the basics and more. They carry, you know, everything that you need, an AD plus, methylene blue, all of it. You can stock up at allfamilypharmacy.com slash Dana and use code Dana so you can save yourself 10%.

SPEAKER 06 :
And now all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s quick five.
SPEAKER 10 :
All right. So first up, a woman accidentally. I think we I don’t know if this is this is I don’t know if this is one of the ones that we’ve had before. A woman who got body parts into her instead of her medication. It sounds very similar to a headline that we’ve had before. But this woman, she ordered medication. You would never, by the way, just want to caution you. You would never have this happen at All Family Pharmacy. Allfamilypharmacy.com slash Dana. Use code Dana10 to get 10% off your order. I’m just saying, they would not send you body parts. Because this place did. They sent this lady literal body parts. It literally misdelivered body parts. And the coroner had to go retrieve them and take them back to the morgue. They said sometimes they’re shipped for transplants and research purposes. But she literally got a delivery Wednesday night. She thought it was her medication. And she opened the box. And there were some arms and fingers in it. Instead of her medication. I’m just wondering what kind of medication she has delivered because I don’t know how big of a box you need to ship an arm. But I’d be like, this seems a little bit bigger than what I was anticipating. And I don’t know if it’s like cold packed or what. I’d be like, is this a steak that someone sent me? One of the order from mail steaks? I don’t know. But they said that apparently the incident involves an airline company, a freight company, and a courier. So you had three chances to like somebody to stop it and it didn’t happen. A bank robber stole $400 and $1 bills. And asks the police if he can please keep the money for his jail commissary. That’s not really how that works. 42 years old. He was arrested. He robbed a bank. It’s the city’s first bank robbery and hunting a bank in Ohio in what since 2010. And he’s it’s all on camera. And he fled on foot $400 and $101 bills. Of course, he was quickly apprehended, but he wanted to keep the money so he could buy stuff in prison. This is funny. US Space Force is going to use three weapons to jam Chinese satellites via remote control. Should we be? Like, I don’t know, advertising this in the press. Hey, China, guess what we’re doing? We’re going to be jamming your satellites. I just feel like this is something we shouldn’t announce. The military is close to fielding two weapons designed to temporarily or I think they meant to say temporarily or temporally. Maybe they didn’t mean temporally jam Chinese and Russian intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance satellites. So you have three counter space. You don’t tell them that we have this. I mean, if there’s one thing that my tax dollars go towards, it’s to super spooky stuff in defense of our nation that you probably shouldn’t be broadcasting like this. By the way, the weapons are called Meadowlands. That sounds almost nice, doesn’t it? Yeah. Meadowlands and remote sensing terminals. Meadowlands. I mean, imagine you’re going, and it’s just a giant space laser that jams your sat. It’s funny. Oh, my gosh. They need to be careful about putting this stuff out there. I don’t know. Maybe they meant to. A new driver was spinning in circles around a church parking lot at Cops in South Carolina. It was near Myrtle Beach. I mean, somebody’s having a day. That’s all it is. They were apprehended because they were driving recklessly. Also, they were completely nude and smelled strongly of alcohol, said police. The guy was arrested and charged with all kinds of stuff, including lots of cocaine. We got more on the way. Stick with us. The folks who helped bring the program, it’s the folks over at Super Beats. The Super Beats folks, human is what makes their story different is where it began. Human was founded out of the UT Health Science Center built on real cardiovascular research around blood flow and nitric oxide. Unlike other supplement brands, human is science born, not just science-ish. Their products work and you can feel them working. UT athletes have used Super Beats for over a decade, calling it their cheat code for recovery and endurance. And you can use it for the same reason, to support healthy blood pressure and circulation. More than 160 college and pro teams use human products. Your favorite team probably does too. And if you’ve seen the human logo on the Longhorns field this football season, that’s more than a sponsorship. It’s a signal from human and UT leading the future of cardiovascular health. for athletes, and for everyone. You can pick up Super Beats Human products at your local Walmart and start supporting your cardiovascular health and improve circulation today. Get on the road to better health with Super Beats from Human.
SPEAKER 03 :
I heard a compilation of some of the worst things that Nick Fuentes has said, and it’s absolutely outrageous. Some of the things he said, just blatantly anti-Semitic, racist, and anti-American, anti-Christian for that matter. I think we have to call out anti-Semitism wherever it is, and I don’t think, whether it’s Tucker or anybody else, I don’t think we should be giving a platform for that kind of speech. He has a First Amendment right, but we should never amplify it.
SPEAKER 10 :
I think that’s a good word that he used, that Speaker Johnson’s amplify it, and especially during a period of an election. Look, you have this – welcome back to the show, Dana Lash, with you. You have this that’s dominant on the left, and now we were talking about how it’s coming up on the right. Who do you think is going to win in the battle of socialists? The left is going to win. Because if people are going to be socialist, they’re going to stick with the left. And really, all socialists, they’re all the left. Anybody who’s making idols of race, all of it. And by the way, it’s not very America first to be so obsessed with Israel. That’s not America first. It’s true. So… A few things. The big driver, two things. The big driver was the economy. Everybody’s arguing over inflation and tariffs. Some say that tariffs are what’s helping slow inflation. Others are saying that that’s not accurate because that’s, in fact, that’s what, I mean, look, there are prices on a number of things that are up. I mean, that’s, you can’t sit here, don’t Biden us and tell us that it’s not. That got Biden in trouble. We want to avoid the same thing with the right. But at the same time, They got to move faster with this stuff because it’s kind of slow going. It’s been nine months and you knew it was going to take some time, but we still have to get some of these deals ironclad. And with China, this is a tricky one because there’s a lot of stuff involved in it to say nothing of them being a geopolitical foe. I mean, it’s a tough position. I wouldn’t want to be in the White House making these determinations. And I know everyone knows, everyone realizes you’re going to get a fair deal in the end. But it’s that point up until that moment. And that’s what people were reacting to. They’re hurting. I mean, I was hearing from, I mean, I saw it all over. I was looking at exit polling last night. And it is a real thing. You know, it’s one of the other things that I noticed, just some odds and ends. Jack Cittarelli up in New Jersey, he got 150,000 more votes than Chris Christie got in 2013. So, see, you can’t say in looking at this, it’s not necessarily all about candidate quality. Some of this is Trump on the ballot too. When Trump is not on the ballot, people don’t come out and he’s never going to be on the ballot again. And if Republicans don’t realize how to effectively run and win races without Trump on the ballot, oh my gosh, you guys. I’m not kidding. Look at every election. I went back and looked at my notes from midterms and even going all the way back to 2016 and because I was in New York for a couple of these things, and looking through the stacks of raw data that they were handing us every time there was another sweep for exit polling. And I’m telling you what, when he is not on the ballot, I mean, I just, I got to scratch my head here. It makes me think, do you guys remember the special election in Georgia? This is not the, this wasn’t awesome. It’s when you had, was it Kelly Loeffler was running? And She ended up not performing well at all, and the biggest part of that problem was because of Republican turnout. And you remember that guy? Who was that guy, Cain? The Democrat with silver hair that was out there telling people not to go out, and they were mad because they thought it was 2020. No, but I remember going out there to try to help them get out the vote, and there were people who were like, oh, we were told our vote doesn’t matter, so we’re not going to go out and vote. In the most conservative county in Georgia, their turnout was so abysmal that… I mean, it was so underperforming of previous that that’s what ended up actually costing us that Senate seat in Georgia. And I was trying to tell people, your vote actually does matter, and nobody wanted to hear it. So they ended up losing that seat. But what gets me is that was also… Wherever there was a special election, again, Trump’s not on the ballot. People don’t turn out.
SPEAKER 12 :
Lin Wood.
SPEAKER 10 :
Lin Wood. Thank you. Yeah, I remember L-I-N. Lin Wood. Remember he was out there telling people don’t vote? Oh, my gosh. I was fit to be tied. Victoria Sparks, she was livid over that. She was just spitting mad over it. But it’s true, you know. It’s, I mean, this is tough stuff. They got to figure out how to do it without Trump being on the ballot. They got to figure out how to do it without him being on the ballot. And the problem is, like I said, you know, this wasn’t just two blue areas and a purple. I mean, there was there were districts all over that saw the same thing. So it’s enough to say, yes, it is absolutely a pattern. I don’t know what the RNC has to counter that, because when we go into midterms in 26, oh, my gosh, you guys. It’s not enough for him to just endorse someone that helps. But then it depends on the area, because in certain parts of Texas, in certain parts of Georgia and Florida, particularly Georgia and Florida are very interesting, even more so than Texas, because they’re very how do I put it? They are very state focused to the point where they treat like everybody knows every lawmaker there. And they’re very protective of their lawmakers. They’re very protective of their vote. And it does not really matter to those people what the endorsement is or who it’s from. It’s really how well you can retail politic in those areas. It really is it. It’s very interesting. It’s not like that everywhere else. In Texas, it’s somewhat like that. So even then, his endorsement It matters what area it’s in and what type of race it’s in for it to even have that impact. Now, if you remember going back to 2010, Barack Obama, he was – now, he couldn’t endorse anybody. Remember how much kryptonite he was? Oh, man. He like repelled voters. I remember there was a big, big kind of a controversy in St. Louis when we lived in St. Louis at the time. And Claire McCaskill, who was running for Senate, this was – In August, I think. So the election was coming up. It was August and like late August, early September. This was after her primary. And she did not want to do an event with Barack Obama because he was in the red in terms of approval. He was a drag. Everybody previously during special elections that he endorsed, they all lost. He did not have any coattails. And then after that, we had the shellacking. She did not want to do a fundraiser with him. And it ended up being a big controversy because she thought that it would actually drag her down because in St. Louis, they didn’t care. Democrats, not even Democrats cared about his endorsement. It was very interesting. He was like he was poisonous to them. It’s not like that with Republicans. And again, it’s only in certain states. And it’s just because they’re super state focused. But the Republican response to elections can’t be, well, we’ll just have Trump endorse them and we don’t have to do any more work. And I got to be honest with you, that’s how they’ve been treating this for a number of years now. They’ve gotten really lazy. They just think, oh, well, you know, we’re just going to… We’ll just have Trump make the endorsement and then we don’t have to do anything. Look, it’s great. That’s it. That’s all we have to do. Oh, it’s… That’s… There was no… I did not see any RNC outreach. I don’t know what their plan is to counter or remedy some of this. You would think that you would see the RNC chair all over television talking about what the party’s going to do, but you’re not. Why is that? I mean, it’s very confusing to me. And then you have Jay Jones. Jay Jones is… Really, I mean, I’m not shocked. Democrats, you know Democrats get into violent rhetoric. But what they’ve done is they’ve sanctioned it with his election. They sanctioned it. And it’s tough. I mean, he’s the AG now. I kind of worried about all the critics, all his critics in Virginia. You know, when he was criticizing his political opponent, he had met his political opponent. He had met his opponent’s wife. He had met their kids. And he still ended up saying what he said. He still ended up saying that he wanted to shoot his opponent. and then watch his opponent’s children die in their mother’s arms. How do you say that if you meet someone? He’s the AG now in Virginia. It’s insanity. And what Democrats have shown, they, Democrats did not care about the rhetoric. They didn’t care about the rhetoric because they all think it too. They don’t care about any of this. They all think it too. Now as for the filibuster, man, it’s, um, I feel like if you abolish it, this is going to be a disaster. It’ll be a disaster for Republicans. I mean, eliminating it, the legislative process, this is a feature, not a bug of the system. It’s supposed to be incredibly slow and deliberate. And that’s how it’s supposed to work. Trying to expedite it by removing one of the ways that we were able to protect people during Democrat majority is not because, look, guys, we’re just right outside of a midterm cane.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, I believe him when it would cut 31 when he says that. I believe that that would be the case. We care about the filibuster because we understand the process and respect that the left I don’t think does.
SPEAKER 10 :
I think there still are enough moderates in the Senate for them right now to not do that. Because remember, Manchin and some of the others, John Ossoff, as much as I don’t want to throw any weight behind him.
SPEAKER 06 :
I would have seen more moderates vote for the CR if that were the case.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, but if we do it, guess what? And we lose. If this is indeed the canary in the coal mine and we lose midterms, look what we just did. We just destroyed the one option that we had to block all the bad stuff. You guys don’t understand how many bad things would have come in if we did not have the filibuster. Oh, my gosh. You guys really. I mean, first off, there’s a lot of gun control that would happen. I mean, you would have lost some automatics. I mean, that’s just the start of it. I mean, they would have they would have pushed through everything. This is a very important hedge of security that we have to have. And you’re not supposed to. You’re not supposed to. I mean, when you you diminish your minority in the Senate by getting rid of the filibuster and you turn it into a legislative juggernaut, for the lack of a better way to put it. And it’s not supposed to function that way. There’s a reason it’s supposed to be slow and deliberate. It doesn’t operate like the House does. And it’s not supposed to. There’s a reason why we should safeguard that. And we shouldn’t be the ones that sanction its removal. We really shouldn’t.
SPEAKER 06 :
I agree. And I also think, though, decades of slow moving in the wrong direction kind of does require a juggernaut in a way to right the ship. Sometimes that’s the emergency needed.
SPEAKER 10 :
But that’s predicated upon maintaining control, which, as we are seeing right now, there’s some warning signs.
SPEAKER 06 :
Right. But is it wrong for Trump to think that the Democrats would kill the filibuster as soon as they get power?
SPEAKER 10 :
I don’t think it’s entirely wrong, but I don’t think it’s entirely right, simply because there were enough that stopped it last time. That’s the thing. I mean, you’ve got Fettermans. You have Ossoffs. I can’t believe I’m citing him.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, they’re being ousted now by Democrats.
SPEAKER 10 :
Well, he’s not. John Ossoff isn’t.
SPEAKER 06 :
No, not Ossoff.
SPEAKER 10 :
He’s still enough ingratiated. There’s still… But you’ve got to remember, Madison talked about this in Federalist Tent when he was talking about mob rule, and filibuster expedites mob rule. It turns the Senate into mob, like, super fast.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 10 :
Exactly. So it’s… The problem is when people talk about getting rid of the filibuster, they’re not doing it as a way to improve the legislative structure. They’re doing it because they’re mad over their inability to quickly enact what they want. And it should never be made with that decision.

SPEAKER 05 :
It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.
SPEAKER 10 :
Florida Man allegedly listed stolen rocks on Facebook using the photos from a construction site that they were stolen from. That doesn’t seem like that smart. By the way, I can’t pronounce what kind of rocks these were. Coquina? Coquina rocks? I don’t even know what that means. But he stole these rocks from a construction site, posted them for sale online using photos of them at the same site. Flaugher County Sheriff’s Office said deputies met with the victim on October 22nd. They reported seeing the rocks stolen from a Palm Coast construction site and then listed for sale on Facebook Marketplace. Facebook Marketplace listed the used photos of the rocks online. uh and uh detectives laura i mean seriously he’s he um was just listen to all his charges grand theft dealing and stolen property unlawful use of a two-way communications device he bonded out at 7 500. it’s like if i stole your car but took a picture of it first in your driveway in order to sell it online he’s not the best speaking of rocks what a segue A Florida man was arrested for throwing rocks at marked police cards at their cars. Is he wanting to get arrested? It took place minutes after the guy was released from jail, too. He cost $3,700 worth of damage. I think he just wanted to go back into jail. He’s facing criminal mischief charges. Authorities say he intentionally threw rocks at two marked deputy patrol vehicles. and shattered the window of one, dented. Oh, yeah, there’s a lot of damage. They have some photos of it. Now he faces a criminal mischief charge, and he’s back in jail. Nobody’s surprised with that. Somebody who was impersonating a police officer stole a Corvette at Hard Rocks Hollywood Casino. They, but he, and apparently nobody thought to intervene because he was like impersonating a cop and I guess dressed up as one. So the parking attendants told the police officer that a man, he had, he was wearing clothing with Florida Department of Correction insignias. He jumped in a running Corvette and fled. It was at a valet stand. He jumped into a running Corvette and fled. And one of the attendants said, that’s not his car. and the driver, Angel Diaz, of Miami Gardens 60, he was seen smoking a joint as he sped away. It is like a movie. They finally got him. He’s got grand theft auto, impersonating law enforcement, trespassing, tampering with physical evidence. So he at least has three felonies. He’s got a long rap sheet, by the way.

That’s noblegoldinvestments.com slash Dana. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. The former transportation secretary, secretary, new dad, poop booty juice. Well… he wasn’t a very good secretary of transportation. I mean, I really don’t know what he knew about transportation other than he was the one-time mayor of South Bend and he was also the vice admiral, rear vice admiral of the canoe fleet at Camp Wimpy Tonka. And he liked buses, you know, couldn’t fill a pothole to save his life though. And his agency, while he was at Department of Transportation, his agency apparently spent $80 billion on DEI grants, and apparently it delayed air traffic control upgrades. Huh. Now, you know he wants to run for president in 2028. He’s very much like he’s on board with that. But apparently, yeah, he is eyeing a 2028 presidential run. He told executives that air traffic controls control upgrades would allow them to fly more planes. And so why would that be in his interest, sources said. They handed out over $80 billion over four years. That was half of all of the Department of Transportation’s entire budget for a typical fiscal year, according to records. They said, yes, he was definitely pushing an agenda. And he apparently had, quote, little to no interest and took zero action towards air traffic control modernization. Oh, my gosh. The safety system that hasn’t been updated since the Carter administration. And he did nothing there. What do you mean? Don’t you think? OK, this might be a naive question. But if you’re going to be the transportation secretary, shouldn’t you at least have some sort of working knowledge about how the hell it works? I don’t know how Department of Transportation works. I know that they’re supposed to handle stuff like that, right? Yeah. And he didn’t do it. Remember he was also – how long was he gone? He was like gone eight weeks. After he purchased some babies, he was gone for eight weeks for maternity leave. The best – the cherry on the top was when they both got into like – like pajamas and sat in a hospital bed, like they pushed the baby out of their birth canals themselves. And he did not take any questions. He was basically, not basically, he was MIA, according to people within the Department of Transportation, if you remember. While we had the supply chain crisis and all that stuff, he was nowhere to be found. So the Booty Juice’s spokesperson, Chris Meager, of course his name is Meager, his Meager spokesman, Said no, no, no. I mean, there was some like new flight routes and stuff that was added. What are you talking about? They had an air traffic controller shortage, apparently, and they weren’t upgrading systems. And he was doing nothing to help with that, according to all of these insiders that are blowing the whistle on him right now. The 80 billion in 80 billion, 80 billion dollars. On DEI grants, isn’t the thing with Delta that happened over the weekend, wasn’t that said to have done, weren’t people complaining about DEI also, you know, where they had a pilot that had to take aggressive maneuvers and all this stuff because they got too close to this other jet? A lot of people have been talking about the air traffic control industry and how they need more actual, like, competent air traffic controllers. So, I mean, apparently he didn’t do a whole hell of a lot over at Cain. He didn’t do anything. I mean, what is the point of having the department if you’re not doing anything that has to do with transportation? What does DEI have to do with this?
SPEAKER 06 :
You know, if I spent $80 billion, even just $80 billion in that department, which, by the way, more was spent. I would have something to show for it. I would say, hey, look at this. Look at this thing I did with 80 billion. What does he have to show for it? Because there’s no improvements in the Department of Transportation as it relates to air traffic control. So what do you do?
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, absolutely nothing. The focus of his, it says under Buttigieg, the focus of the department shifted dramatically. They had 400 DEI-related grants approved, and that was an audit of federal spending between 2021 and 2024. Grants for diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. They said that programs like Justice 40, which sent about 55% of about $150 billion in infrastructure investments to quote-unquote disadvantaged communities pursuant to an executive order that Biden signed to quote, advance equitable outcomes. So that’s the Justice 40. Justice 40 initiative, they say the categories of investment are climate change, clean energy, energy efficiency, sustainable and affordable housing, remediation, legacy pollution, What? That’s what they are. Yeah. And this was Biden’s 21-1.2 infrastructure law. Five billion equity. That was, by the way, part of that money. Do you guys remember the, oh my gosh, this is one of my craziest stories. The electric vehicle charging stations. Do you guys remember that? So they only built seven. Good God.
SPEAKER 1 :
7,000?
SPEAKER 10 :
Seven. like seven by june of 2024 and that was a five billion dollar equity effort they were supposed to build 500 000 electric vehicle charging stations and it only and only seven were built now you might be like well what is that what do you what do you mean equitable what is the equity effort the equitable effort what does that mean okay so I remember we had this story. Let me just bring it back up because it’s been almost a year ago. Let me just bring this back up to you. So they had this program where they were supposed to build like half a million of these charging stations. They only did seven of them. And the people in DOT or in departments in which they fall under the purview of Department of Transportation, like the Federal Highway Administration, et cetera, et cetera, they were the ones who started talking to the press about it. And the reason being is because of that equitable thing, that little equitable equity word in there that I had mentioned. They were not a lot. Remember, they were had all these requirements. If you were going to build a charging station, like you had to be like minority owned and you had to have X amount of minorities. Like it wasn’t enough to be minority owned. Like if you were a black business owner, but you didn’t have enough minorities on your staff, then you were not considered. I mean, that’s how crazy it was. And you had to have like an interpreter. And they did. Oh, my gosh. What was it? Block parties. Remember all this stuff? And people were saying, you’re not going to be able to. To get anything built with this with these type of requirements, you’re not going to be able to get anything built. And it actually. I mean, it was blamed for holding all of this back. There were all of these secret documents that came out. Daily Caller had a big thing on it. And so did the Free Beacon. And they were reporting on how. All these internal documents showed how all of these stupid DEI demands made it impossible to. I mean, I’m surprised they got seven built. Honestly, it was described as a, quote, mess. And it said that the DEI requirements were hamstringing Biden’s EV agenda. And that was why they were behind the charging station goals. And I’m saying this because this is all part of this $80 billion, apparently, that Poot Booty Juice was just giving away to DEI stuff. That’s how bad it was. Like, you had to show, like, neighborhood initiatives. Like, if you held a block party and all that. Like, what the hell are you doing? You’re building an EV station. You’re building a damn charging station. Meaningful public involvement. Now, it wasn’t enough to do it a one-off. You had to prove that this would occur throughout the project’s life cycle. They never actually meant, they never actually defined what public involvement was, but they just gave, the reason I said block parties is because they gave that as an example. The DO, the Department of Transportation documents. By the way, all this is on the internet. That’s the stuff. Yeah. Visual preference surveys, games and contests and neighborhood block parties. Those were some of the examples that they gave and that the grant recipient had to provide multilingual staff or interpreters to interact with community members who use language other than English. So it wasn’t even that you had to have an interpreter for your employees. You literally had to employ an interpreter to talk to the community. You, the person building the EV charging station. So Kane, if Kane had a company that wanted to that was bidding for a contract to build a charging station. They’d be like, okay, well, you’re half Hispanic. I guess that’s half enough. How many people of color do you have in your staff? How many minorities do you have in your staff? And if he didn’t have enough minorities on his staff, he wouldn’t be considered. If he did, then he had to further show that he had an interpreter on staff, not even to deal with his own employees, but to just talk with the community about, He would have to prove that they were doing all these events and stuff for the community as part of the, quote, meaningful public involvement that was never defined, but was only really only showcased by examples of which block parties were mentioned. You would have to do all of that. You’re even the the sourcing of the materials that you used. You had to make a good faith effort to show that you were getting information. sourcing for your production from other minority owned or disadvantaged, minority owned companies or companies in disadvantaged areas. Wrap your head around that. Wrap your head around that. Why do you think we only had seven of these damn things built? This was under Poot Booty Juice. And people in Department of Transportation were like this, like actual other leftists. We’re like, this is the stupidest burp that we’ve ever seen. They said, you are hamstringing this. Hamstringing it. Meanwhile, Department of Transportation is out there going, well, since Biden took office, the public available charging ports, it’s grown wildly. It’s grown like over 90%. Not because of you. Not because of you. So this was just a slush fund. DEI is just a slush fund. All it is is another way to redistribute money. That’s all it is. That’s all it is. It’s just a way to redistribute money. So going back to this, this was under, this is all that Justice 40 stuff. This is all a part of that $80 billion deal. that Poot Booty Juice was in charge of and that he was spending more towards like DEI and all of this other stuff than actually going and pursuing air traffic controllers, upgrading safety systems, doing all of those things. And his excuse was, oh, well, you can walk and chew gum at the same time, meaning, well, I can do this and I can do these other things. Remember, we had that whole thing. But you’re not doing the other things is what people are pointing out to you. So, I mean, he, he just, I honestly, all of this stuff, I think it’s very interesting that we had all of these incidents that stem from the perfect storm of his, if you want to call it leadership over a department of transportation. Good heavens. By the way, we spent $4 billion to refunds for customers because of consumer complaints. Remember he had that whole initiative set up? That wasn’t airlines that was paying that. That was taxpayers that were paying that. We were paying that. Unreal. In the meantime, our partners that help bring you the program. It’s our friends over at Relief Factor.

SPEAKER 06 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 10 :
This is such a weird headline. So if Gen Z is staring at you, it may be more than just a quirk. It’s called the Gen Z stare. It’s a blank look they said that Gen Zers give to their elders. And it’s like another intergenerational. When they say intergenerational, who are fighting? Because I feel like Gen X, we’re just like doing our thing and we don’t care. So is it like boomers or millennials? Who’s fighting with Gen Z? I feel like everybody’s fighting. Yeah. Yeah. So they said that it’s called the Gen Z stare. Like it’s a blank deadpan look. And they just kind of have you ever seen? I don’t know that I’ve ever seen that. Have you? What? I don’t know. But they said that that’s like we already have it. Yeah, but that’s RBF. That’s like not just a blank kind of like dumbfounded, like kind of stare. I don’t know. Golly, that’s the latest though with it. Let’s see. A woman commandeers the Queens Inn train for a one-stop joyride, say NYPD. I don’t know how you do that. She broke into a whole train, a whole actual train. It was parked and she took it for a joyride and then disappeared. It is their third train hijacking in a year. Yeah. So maybe get somebody to watch them trains is all I’m saying. You know what I mean? They said it took place at 430 in the morning and it went to one stop. She got off and she fled. They’re trying to figure out how she gained access to it. I’m sure you are. Maybe figure that out. So the corner says that Annabelle doll was not present in the hotel room when that dude kicked the bucket. That paranormal investigator. He says that it wasn’t. I mean, maybe. I’m surprised you didn’t go, was it the Vax? I’m like waiting for you to say that.
SPEAKER 06 :
Ghost Vax. Ghost Vax.
SPEAKER 10 :
They said it’s still an active investigation, but the doll was not in there. That’s what the doll wants you to believe. Just want to say. Just, you know. Let’s see. Oh, gosh. Doctors played a music bingo game during routine eye surgery, but it apparently resulted in a man’s death. Wow. According to Channel 9 News, the guy never regained consciousness. It was it. This was like in 2023 in Colorado. They finally settled it. But apparently they missed critical signs in the patient. Stick with us more in store.

Make sure you go sign up at Substack, chapter and verse. Find us at Facebook, YouTube, like and subscribe. The chat is not rumble. And Channel 347, the simulcast of the radio program. It’s already tough when you’re flying, right? You’re on an aluminum tube. And you’re in the sky. And I just get real antsy when I’m in. I feel like I’m being held captive with a bunch of people. I don’t even know how I’m going to do a cruise later. The academic thing with MRC going up to Norway. I mean, it’s not like I can scale up the size of a fjord to get away or anything. But being on a plane, like, where else are you going to go? Like, open the door and fall to the ground? Like, where else are you going to go? Hide in the bathroom? Hide in the lavatory? So I get it. When it’s time to get off the plane, people want to get off, especially if you have connecting flights. That can be tricky. Or if you’ve got to use the loo because using the restroom on the plane is probably one of the nastiest things ever next to riding the subway in New York. It’s horrible. They’re always so bad. Like you’ve got to use it first and then just give it up. Then you just give it to God after that because that’s, you know, only he can help after that point. So I get it. You want to get off the plane, right? But I think there’s like ways to be polite about it. But also people don’t want to be polite in today’s society for whatever reason. It feels like there’s less of it. I think there’s less of it because people are tired of putting up with stuff. They’re just tired. People are just tired. There’s too much. There’s too much happening. So Audio Sunbite 17, this is at Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood International Airport. This woman… went on a tirade because she was getting criticized by passengers for getting up and moving forward to get off the plane before the passengers in front of her were able to get off. Now, I don’t know how all of this kicked off because, you know, it’s always, we have all of these, it’s like Bigfoot. We have phones and all these video recording things, but, you know, nobody gets Bigfoot. So I don’t know exactly how bad it got to get to this point, but Audio Sunbite 17, this is what happened.
SPEAKER 11 :
Right now, why don’t you shut your mouth? I want to wake up the people in front of me to get up. That’s how we do it. Oh my God, you’re all whining for no reason. That’s the way you go. Let the people go. You just get up the way you want to. You’re just a Karen and that’s just the way it is. Just deal with it, people. My God. Why don’t you all shut up? It’s not affecting any of you. No, but you didn’t say anything. You guys are so funny. You’re the Karens about it, because you’re the ones who are making noise. Nobody’s bothering you. I’m sorry, do you have my permission to record me? Shut the up. Now she’s here. Yep, cuz you’ve never said one. I can tell you have. Yes, I can. That guy wouldn’t even do nothing. He just sit back there and she gets eaten. You can be a judge. No, you’re not going to insult someone because of an accent. We’re not doing that. Don’t put your finger in.
SPEAKER 03 :
Okay? This is a low IQ review.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, it is. You ain’t gonna change this. I love when they say ain’t and they talk about low IQ. I use aids and I’m in a doctoral program. Oh my gosh.
SPEAKER 02 :
That’s a big deal.
SPEAKER 11 :
I’m a lawyer. I don’t say ain’t. I’m a lawyer. I’m a doctor. I’m sorry, but everybody on this plane is insufferable. They’re all horrible.
SPEAKER 10 :
Everyone is horrible. If I was the pilot, I would have dove it into the ocean. Like gone doing mankind a favor. Oh my gosh. Where do you even start? She was trying to get off. She wanted to get off the plane before every, I’ve been, I’ve seen that before. Most, most of the time people are nice. The only time that I ever said anything on a plane is uh when people were trying to rush forward was actually my oldest son was with me can’t remember where we were going but there was an elderly lady who was right across the aisle from us and she was like really elderly and apparently like talked to her a little bit she her husband had passed earlier that year she was going to see her sister whose children had placed her sister in a nursing facility so i’m already like my heart is already hurting for this lady right And we helped her put her suitcase up and helped her get situated because she had she wasn’t she didn’t have mobility issues, but she was like 80 something. She was very she’s still an independent lady, sharp as a tack. And she had every right to fly. But, you know, just have a little consideration. Right. So when the plane landed. And everyone’s getting up and my son was actually making sure she got up and had her tote bag. There was a younger woman and then people just started coming forward. And one woman literally pushed past her to get to the front and almost knocked this woman on the other two passengers in the seat. And then everyone else, it was like, they saw this one lady going up and I’m, you know, I’m like immediately trying to help this elderly lady because the flight attendants were in the front. They’re opening the door. They’re not right there in your section. And I’m like, this woman is going to get trampled. And all these people came up. So I got up and I was like, can you please wait? You know, I’m still trying to literally get her up from the aisle. And this was probably like, in 2009 2010 and they kept pushing so finally i lost my cool and i did yell at people i was like can you guys just chill the hell out for five seconds i’m like we’re all going to the same place i’m like can i let her get up first because she got knocked down by one of you and i was so mad that they didn’t even notice that this woman was literally knocked over in the aisle and And I made sure she got out before us. So if they were going to like try to run her down again, at least they would they would hit me and my child first. But, you know, getting off the plane and she she was just slow getting up. She wasn’t like slow walking. It was just, you know, she’s 80 something. And I was just like, and I think the people realized what happened and they saw her kind of trying to get out. Because when you fall in between those aisles, you know how hard that is to get if you’re not 80s. It’s like hard to get up anyway because you’re on your stuff. You can’t move this. You can’t get up. It’s awkward. And I think they realized, oh, my gosh, we got to chill. We knocked this little lady down. And then they were fine after that. But I literally did have to yell at people. That’s the only time I ever did. Otherwise, I just don’t care. I’m not in a rush to get off the plane. I always whenever we have connecting flights, there’s only been one time that it’s been close because there was nothing else. But I always give myself tons of time if I got a connecting flight somewhere. A, I avoid connecting flights. But if I have to take one, I always give myself tons of time. And not everybody can prepare that, you know, plan that far in advance, but just try. But I mean, what is it going to save you a couple of minutes to rush forward if that happens? This doesn’t make any sense. But the problem with this is that I don’t know if she had a connecting flight. I don’t know. She could have been a heck of a lot nicer. And everybody else could have been. But she didn’t say, Cain, at any point that she had a connecting flight that she had to get to or anything like that. She was just like, you know, whatever. I mean, why? Lady, lie.
SPEAKER 06 :
If I had a connecting flight, I would say, yeah, all right, you guys, you got me. But, you know, I have a connecting flight. So that’s why I got up here.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I’ve been on planes where they’re like, if you don’t have a connecting flight, can you let other people go forward? And it’s like, I don’t have an issue. I’m not in a rush to get off the plane. And my husband likes to get off the plane as soon as possible. But I’m like, chill. We don’t got to be in a rush. It’s all good. It’s all good. Clearly, some people got places they got to be. Just let it go. It doesn’t really bug me. but what bugs me is like when I see older people like that lady, I don’t know if I’ve ever been that mad in public in a long time, like ever. I was so mad for her. I just could not believe that someone just like powered through and just, I mean, literally knocked her in between the seats. Like she was butt up and her, I mean, almost like a downward dog position. They knocked her in that seat and it was really awkward for her to get up. And the other seatmate passengers, the other passengers in her row were trying to help her. I’m trying to help her. Um, but yeah, Everybody on that plane was just not helping the situation, not helping the situation. Clearly, she felt entitled. She was snotty. You know, the point where it went really downhills where the other lady was like, I’m in a doctorate program. Oh, my gosh. Nobody cares. Just stop. Stop. Don’t engage with stupid because stupid loves it. And stupid feeds off it. You do not have to. I always tell everybody, you do not have to attend every fight to which you are invited. You do not have to. Just let it, some people just need to show their backsides. Let them do it. But it just got, and I’m like, there’s kids on this flight. I felt bad for the one dude who was just sitting there eating snacks. Did you see him? He was the only guy who was not bothering his soul on this flight. He’s sitting there just eating his snacks and she turns around and starts at him. I was like, that poor man. He’s eating his snacks. Probably eating them plain, whatever, the plain trail mix. Do they even offer it to the people with peanut allergies get upset? I don’t know. The whole thing is just too much.
SPEAKER 06 :
That dude was my spirit animal. I’m the same way. If people are in a rush, just let them go. If you’re in the plane and you’re not in a rush to get off the plane, having three or four more people in front of you as you’re herded off the plane through the jet bridge, you’re not gaining.
SPEAKER 10 :
You’re not going to get a special award.
SPEAKER 06 :
You’re not gaining.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, they’re not going to be at the end of the thing. Like, you were the first stop. Here’s a million dollars. You guys are losers because you didn’t get off the plane first. No one’s doing that. There’s not those types of rewards.
SPEAKER 06 :
No, I’m not 20th in line. I’m 15th.
SPEAKER 10 :
I’m a better person. Put that on my tombstone first off the plane. But it just, yeah. And I don’t like being in crowds where you’re jostling like that. I don’t. Oh, man, I can’t stand it. So I will totally just chill. Let them let it let them go by and then do what I got to do. Right. And because I already have I pack light anyway. I already have all my stuff. I only ever do carry on. So I’m like one one and I’m out. But there are a lot of nice people that they’ll see you because if you don’t go, then it’s like the current of people just. And then you just, you know, you just sit there until the whole plane gets off. But every now and then there are people nice enough that are like, oh my gosh, go ahead and go. Like you’re sitting here ready to go. I’m just not going to like fight with people to get off the plane because I don’t have that much patience in life. So I like to reserve it. You know what I mean? For like the times that it would really would matter, right? Like picking up an elderly woman who gets knocked over in the aisle. That’s, you know, things like that. But this, I see things like this and it makes me not want to fly. I already don’t like it. but I don’t know what I’m going to do on this cruise, guys. I don’t even know. I was looking at the boat, the boat ship. I don’t know. I literally, all everything I know about getting on boats is from lakes, fishing, canoes, and then having a power, little power boat, like in the Exumas and going, you know, driving around that. And I know how to, I know ties. I know how to navigate. I know how to read nautical maps because there was no way I was taking my family out in the open ocean without ever being able to do that. Cause insane. But, We’re on a big boat in Cane. We’re going to be in the fjords, which is basically like there’s no ground. It’s just you look around and it’s water and rocks. That’s it. Sheer cliffs that goats couldn’t even get on. Like a goat couldn’t even, like one of those weird ones couldn’t even get up there.
SPEAKER 06 :
It’s not a carnival cruise you’re going on. No, no. I think you’ll be okay.
SPEAKER 10 :
I don’t know.
SPEAKER 06 :
I think you’ll be all right.
SPEAKER 10 :
All I’m worried about like food poisoning and everybody having diarrhea and like. Yeah.
SPEAKER 06 :
I mean, I guess those are valid concerns.
SPEAKER 10 :
Or, like, what if, oh my gosh, I don’t know, what if the boat, what if there’s a drunk captain? That happened. You guys remember that story? What if there’s a drunk captain and they hit something and we capsize in a fjord and then a Loch Ness monster from Scotland eats us? I don’t know.
SPEAKER 06 :
Before he capsizes, you just drink with him so that he’s not drinking as much. I don’t know.
SPEAKER 10 :
I’m just, it’s real, I don’t know how this is going to work. So, yeah, we’ll see. That’s going to be very, very, those are going to be fun times.

SPEAKER 10 :
So, oh boy, this just in all new. This is all new, new news. Yeah, that’s right. New news. So Angela Paxton, who is a Texas state senator, posted, quote, today, after 30 years of marriage, I filed for divorce on biblical grounds. I believe marriage is a sacred covenant. I have earnestly pursued reconciliation. But in light of recent discoveries, I do not believe that it honors God or is loving to myself, my children or kin to remain in the marriage. I move forward with complete confidence that God is always working everything together for the good of those who love him and who are called according to his purpose. Now, Angela Paxton, she said Ken, that is Ken Paxton’s wife. He is the AG of Texas, and he is running against John Cornyn in the primary for that Senate seat. Wow. I also heard that apparently Cornyn was at the White House visiting with POTUS and at the White House, I guess, trying to get the White House involved in this race, which I always thought POTUS had a good relationship with Ken Paxton. I can’t see them siding up next to Cornyn right now, but all very man alive, very interesting. So what do you mean recent discoveries? What? Dude. I don’t know.
SPEAKER 06 :
Could she be getting fed false information? Or do you suspect this is accurate stuff?
SPEAKER 10 :
I have heard stuff before about… I don’t like to get into people’s like marriages and personal businesses and every, I don’t know. I, people in Texas gossip more than anybody else I’ve ever, like in Missouri politics, they gossip, but in Texas it’s like an art form. It is a whole new level. And I have heard a lot of stuff and I’m not repeating any of it because I have no idea whether or not it’s valid or, but I’ve heard a lot of things. So I don’t know. Um, They she was accusing him of adultery. And that’s according to KUT and a couple of other sources. And they said that they in her filing, it was apparently in the petition. She was accusing him of adultery and said that they had stopped living together in June of last year. Wow. So what does that mean for that Senate race? Because Cornyn may not be the quickest, but his operatives are. So, man, that’s going to get real spicy real fast. So we’ll see how that goes. And she’s going to, regardless of what is happening in their situation, they’re going to go at her because they’re going to look at her as helping Cornyn. All right, we’ll have more on that tomorrow. I’ll have something up at Substack coming up that kind of looks at the lay of the land on that. Today in Stupidity, Cain.
SPEAKER 06 :

SPEAKER 15 :
Women, we have so many landmines and barriers and don’ts and limitations. It’s, you know, I mean, Craig, you’re the guy at the table, but I think it’s important for all guys listening, especially men raising daughters, to realize that.
