SPEAKER 27 :
So we’ve seen the video of the first strike, but that second strike video that the president said would be released will be key. And tonight, new information. According to a source familiar with the incident, the two survivors climbed back onto the boat after the initial strike. They were believed to be potentially in communication with others and salvaging some of the drugs. Because of that, it was determined they were still in the fight and valid targets. A JAG officer was also giving legal advice. So again, David, that video will be key. And Admiral Bradley will be on the Hill tomorrow behind closed doors.
SPEAKER 30 :
Oh, Kane, do you know what I just heard? Do you know what sound that just was? Listen real close. Listen, listen to it. Listen. That was the sound of a narrative being blown up out of the water. One could say a narrative blown right out of the water. Whoa. Whoa, that’s what that was. That’s, I can’t believe. So this is all about the Venezuelan drug boat, right? And everyone was saying that SecWar, SecDev still is fun to say. SecDev, Hegseth. I mean, it’s rhymes. SecWar, Hegseth. It’s just a little slower, but I like SecWar. Anyway, but the argument was that he was out there telling everyone to basically shoot anything with a pulse, kill it all. That’s not what happened. And they had a jag with them. I know that that’s a complicated relationship that a lot of service members have with JAG officers, so I understand that. That just shuts the whole thing down. You had a JAG officer like, yep, green light, they’re in the fight. Y’all, it was done by the books. That was done by the books. Barack Obama didn’t have a JAG officer there signing off on these drone strikes. That’s a fact, by the way. Welcome to the show. Dana Lash with you. We’re at the top of this first hour. Is it really Thursday? It is. It really feels like it’s a Wednesday. A little bit. Doesn’t it, though? I got odds and ends. And then we got some developing stories. The FBI is going to have a news conference because they found one of the pipe bombers. We’re going to get into that. Top of the… We got a million things. More on the Minnesota stuff. But this… And that was last night. What was it? ABC, CBS, ABC. So they they completely. So you had The Washington Post that came out with their story and it was essentially accusing Secretary of War of committing a war crime. That’s the phrase I was looking for. Committing a war crime. which he didn’t do. And now, as you can see from this latest reporting in the video, the way that they described it was that they had two people clinging to the boat and they were, quote, still in the fight. So what does that mean? There’s still, I mean, you can take care of business, TCB. That’s exactly what that is. And that’s exactly what they did as well. They took care of business. So that whole thing is done now. That entire narrative has been blown straight the hell out of the water. so to speak. And it’s good to see it happen. It’s insane that they ran. I mean, you knew, I kind of could tell by the way. from the way that they were describing it and the way that SecWar was responding to some of this nonsense, I could kind of tell a little bit that there was something more up their sleeve. You can tell. They had really good poker faces, really good bearing. You couldn’t, you know. But you knew there was going to be something else there, and boom, here it was. They waited until all of these people got so far out on the gangplank And then that was it. So pretty unbelievable stuff. Pretty stunning. And I mean, all of this, all of this. I think a lot of people owe a lot of other people an apology. Look, I understand. You guys know I’m a huge fan of Senator Rand Paul. Really like him. And I am. And really by the I guess by the book, you’re trying to say by the Constitution with this stuff. I think and I would say this if it was a Democrat in the White House, I really legitimately would. This is a little bit this is different than what we’ve seen previously. You know, when they were going after cartel members and drug lords and all of that and some of these narco terrorists in South America under Barack Obama, you know, they were actually taking drones and going into sovereign airspace. Like they had a drone that tracked one boat up the river in Columbia and then took him out with it and took him out with the drone. So this is not the same thing. You’re not in a sovereign nation’s airspace. You’re not on their territory. And we also know exactly who these targets are in some of the cases with Obama, particularly the case. Where’s this? Let me pull this up. It was when he used a drone. that killed two civilians. And this was in, look at this up. This was the, actually, four. That was 2013. Eric Holder said that drone strikes since 2009, he said, actually killed four Americans. One of them was an 18-year-old citizen who was killed by a U.S. drone strike in Yemen. Now, he was the son of Anwar al-Awlaki. The kids are not… responsible for the sins of the parents unless they commit – engage in criminality themselves. However, American citizenship does – you have certain rights associated with citizenship. Now, if you disagree with me on that, I will have you go back in history and look not only at John Adams during the Boston massacre – And what he said when he was actually the defense attorney in that case, because he felt that it was incredibly important to uphold, you know, the due process. The United States at that time, fledgling assortment of colonies trying to break away from the crown. I mean, they were being baited into violating the very principle. principles that they said that they needed to set themselves apart from England from so that they could have these principles. So it was very important for them to uphold that consistency. Now, Washington, when he would catch American soldiers in the acts of espionage with British troops, I mean, there were a lot who said, you just need to execute them right now. They’re committing treason against the United States, and he gave them full force of trial. That was one of the things that he did, due process. So I always look at Washington and Adams, the Federalist Papers, and the precedent that already exists that our founders had established. So that’s the difference. These people are Venezuelan nationals that are known, known, known cartel members, known narco-terrorists, and Again, a lot of differences between the cases, some of what Barack Obama was doing and what we saw here with these boats. So I really feel it’s incredibly important to make those distinctions because I feel it’s lazy when people go, oh, well, now you’re just, you know, I guess you were fine with Obama’s drone strikes. Well, there were differences. There’s nuance. And you can’t just, you know, be a lazy ass about it and pretend that there aren’t incredibly massive differences in these two instances. If Donald Trump was sending drones into sovereign airspace into foreign territory and violating airspace, et cetera, that’s a whole other thing. And I would agree with you on that. But these were boats that were headed for the United States. in some of them territorial waters, you absolutely have the right to do that. And in fact, it’s incumbent upon the United States. And now that we see, you know, you have all of these attorneys that are involved. I think a lot of the people in the media don’t understand that you can’t even pull a trigger now. And unless you’re, you know, maybe a high level operator, you can’t even pull a trigger without an attorney telling you whether or not you can do it. I mean, that’s a real thing. So they already had legal oversight on this entire operation, which would have been weird if they didn’t. And that’s one of the I think we actually brought that up back when this first became a thing. Like, do they think that there’s not going to be some JAG officer there like over everybody’s shoulder telling them, yes, you can. No, you can’t. And those guys are notoriously picky, at least from. You know, the one in my family and every veteran I know. So I don’t know. I mean, I’m just going off of what what my veteran family and friends are telling me. So this all of this is huge, huge difference here. The other big story that we have is let me switch gears here and pull this up. So bear with me, because all of this is like developing right now. They think now. that they have apprehended one individual that they think set the night before January 6th, that they think set one of those pipe bombs out. And, you know, remember the January 6th pipe bombs? And there were a lot of unanswered questions about a lot of this stuff. Right. A lot of unanswered questions. So the individual they took. I’m trying to pull this up. They took an individual into custody in the first arrest, really, with this investigation. They said that the FBI and ATF, they think there were two people responsible. involved in this, but they got the, they made an arrest, five-year investigation. And the person identified goes by the name of Brian Cole from Woodbridge, Virginia, just a suburb of DC. And they were placed in the evening of January 5th near the offices of both the Democrat and Republican National Committee offices. Nobody was hurt. The bombs were rendered safe, but they could have been lethal. And so they had some images that they put up. They were able to identify one of the suspects in this. And apparently, I guess they’re outside of that person’s house, right? Kane, isn’t that the… Yeah, yeah, yeah. That’s the latest.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yeah. As a matter of fact, Juan’s about to put something on the screen that kind of shows you someone was driving by and they saw this operation happening. Whatever happened to that female officer we’d heard about a month ago that was accused of planting one of those pipe bombs? I’m confused why we’re not seeing her name in any of this right now.
SPEAKER 30 :
Yeah, that’s a really great question. You can see from this, if you’re watching the simulcast on channel 347 DirecTV, you can see someone’s driving by there. You have the aerial view of the house, and then you have the street version view of the house. And that’s apparently where this dude lived. Now, one of the things that I read, and they have all the police outside there right now. I mean, it’s packed. One of the things that I had read is… they think that he had like anarchist tendencies or something to that effect. And I mean, that’s still I think they’re still kind of, you know, trying to figure that out. But the interesting. So they have the suspect who is arrested and we’re going to hopefully get more information about this. We’ve got more of this to come also on deck today. Islamism. I don’t know if you’ve seen this, but it’s getting worse, especially now with these Christmas markets up. Islamists took over a Christmas market in Germany. They began blasting Arabic music and harassing families in France. They had to step up security. They got terror threats against a number of Christmas markets in France. I say colonization, and that’s their goal, but it’s invasion is what it is. So we’re going to get into all of that. Plus, Jasmine Crockett, she has a $3,000 lien on her luxury Dallas condo and apparently refuses to pay it off. We’ve got that for you. We also have more in Minnesota, and it’s not just Minnesota. Have you heard the story of the Somali national who is doing the same thing in Maine that you have members of Somali diaspora doing in Minnesota? We’ve got that story as well. So much more to get into. Our partners that will bring you the programming, it’s our friends over at Super Beats. You guys know all the other products that they make. But the turmeric is, I think, one of my absolute favorites because I do take this every single day. It’s an orange citrus flavored chew with no added sugar.

SPEAKER 17 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 30 :
So we were talking about the J6 stuff. Now, I can’t believe this. Women are dropping thousands of pounds of dollars. It’s a British publication. They’re saying there are thousands of dollars. It started Daily Mail. It’s on New York Post too. On rib removal surgery. So now they’re saying the fat jab body is coming in. You know, you can just like watch portion control and exercise. Although I do understand that there are some people… that, you know, they have diabetes and all that. I get that. But I don’t understand, like, just how we had the body positivity thing. You don’t want to go back to heroin chic. You know what I’m saying? Like, that’s just, can you just be fit for crying out loud? But they said that now, apparently, some women who are already thin, they don’t think they’re thin enough. I feel like they have anorexia. If you’re taking your ribs out, That’s body dysmorphia. It’s kind of transy. I’m saying it is. I think that there’s different forms of body dysmorphia. I think trans is one of them. Honestly, I think this is too. They said it creates the extra cinched look. What doctor does this? What doctor? Because these women that are doing this, they’re already thin. They show the New York Post has photos. Whoa, what doctor’s doing this?
SPEAKER 17 :
The story also says that Ozempic’s risky, as though removing the ribs isn’t.
SPEAKER 30 :
Yeah, exactly. Well, both of them. I mean, you know, good night. Let’s see. Oh, here we go. It’s football. Dana with sports. NFL on CBS shatters the record for the most watched regular season game in NFL history with more than 57 million viewers. I watched some of it.
SPEAKER 17 :
I mean, it’s over Thanksgiving. It was a captive audience. It was Cowboys Chiefs. I mean, I’m not surprised to see this at all.
SPEAKER 30 :
That’s when the sweatpants come out. Like, your fancy, your nice Thanksgiving top stays on. Men and women, this is universal, but then them sweatpants come out, right? Or some of y’all are like real smart in advance of your Christmas meals and Thanksgiving and all that, and y’all wear the waistband pants, like the pull-on pants. Some of y’all are smart. Let’s see here. We also, ooh, a new doc, this I’m fascinated by. A new documentary claims that Bush 41 had made contact, that was informed that we made contact with aliens. Is this true? I would love for this to be true. It’s probably true. I mean, it’s going to go ahead and is reported. So it might as well be. They said that it’s a it’s a new documentary in its astrophysicist, Eric Davis, who says that George H.W. Bush casually confirmed to him that aliens made contact back in 1964 with Apparently, a spaceship landed at Holloman Air Force Base and a non-human entity hopped out and was like, sup, and then jetted off back into space. I really don’t think it would have gone like that. And then when Bush asked for more details, he was told that he did not have a need to know. Wasn’t he head of CIA then? Who’s above head of CIA? You know, when Mike Pompeo was head of CIA, that was the first question we asked him when he was on air with us. What’s up with the Malians? And he was not going to answer me. Which meant, Cain, it was not a hard no. Just saying. So it’s apparently on Amazon Prime, which I’m immediately going to watch. I’m going to probably watch it tonight. I’m not going to lie to you. Probably I’ll clear my schedule. Probably won’t get any work done because I’m going to watch it. And also, we got to talk about this later. American Eagle shares jumped.

Brighten up your timely news consumption with a Dana Show podcast. Where every update comes with a little dash of not so serious. On YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts.
SPEAKER 21 :
I genuinely thought this was the audition for the Gingerbread Prince Saves Christmas in Nebraska. What? No, I mean, that sounds like a fantastic movie, but you’re an actual prince. Why would you be… Why would you want to be in one of those movies? Well, you Americans are obsessed with Christmas movies, and you’re clearly obsessed with royalty, so why not? I… Hold on, hold on. Look, look, I wouldn’t say we’re obsessed with royalty. Really? Really. I heard you elected a king.
SPEAKER 20 :
That’s a fair point. No, he’s got a point.
SPEAKER 21 :
And after making such a big deal about my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather, George III.
SPEAKER 30 :
Why is he doing this? This is that’s that whining. That’s the whining ginger who is the spare. I thought he wanted a worldwide privacy tour. He’s on with Colbert, of course. That’s probably the only late night host who would have him. And he’s on with Colbert. He took jabs at Trump, obviously. And people booed him. They booed him because it just – and it seemed very – I mean it seemed contrived because it was. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. Why was he even on Colbert? Like what did he have to promote? Because don’t you normally go on their shows if you have something to promote? What did he have to promote? I don’t know. Right? I didn’t watch it because I don’t watch late night television because I’m not 90,000 years old. Neither are you guys. You guys don’t watch it either. But he took a jab. He was like, well, I heard you guys elected a king or have a king. And then people started booing.
SPEAKER 17 :
Is that how getting a king works? Yeah.
SPEAKER 30 :
He’s not the sharpest. He’s not the sharpest tool in the shed. He is a tool, though, but he’s not the sharpest one. Yeah. And then he said, and you made such a great, a big deal about my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather. Wow. Why is he on there? And also why doesn’t, I’m not trying to be ignorant, so please don’t, but he made fun of his brother for balding. So I feel like it’s fair game. If you’re balding and you make fun of someone else who’s balding, we all get to make fun of you for being bald. And look, all I know is that them hair plugs, I think they do work. I have a friend whose brother legit went to Turkey and got hair plugs. And now they work and he’s got hair. It’s weird. I don’t know how that happens. Said it was super painful. I mean, you know, I guess, you know, you do you. But why doesn’t he do that? Doesn’t he have money? He’s got daddy’s money and he’s got his mommy’s trust fund that he lives off of. And then doesn’t he also skim from he pretends to be a philanthropist with everybody else’s money. So see what these organizations, what they do is they take big donations and they skim a percentage off the top for their pay. And then they donate other people’s money and pretend that they’re philanthropists. And that’s what he does. That’s a life, ain’t it? You just skim a little off the top for yourself and then you give other people’s money away and then you get awards for being a fake philanthropist. You don’t see these people donating like the Dells do. The six some odd billion dollars. They don’t do any of that. So I don’t know why I don’t know why he was on with Colbert. This is what he was doing when they had the big state dinner at Windsor, the Windsor Castle or the Windsor Palace or whatever. They had the state dinner there and everyone was out in their regal finery. You know, tiaras were out and they had, you know, it’s fun watching that stuff. Although I’m so glad to be an American. I would never tolerate it here. But I like watching it over over there. It looks pretty, right? It looks nice. You know, the ladies dress like ladies, the gents dress like gents. Everybody observes nice, you know, courteous behavior. And then you got this, you know, balding, whining ginger who’s on Colbert. That was his big night. And I just think that maybe, maybe, I don’t know, he should stay home and spend more time with his kids instead of flying private all over the country to accept purchased awards. And maybe he could enroll his game show wife. Remember her? She’s built like a literal rectangle. Literally. Maybe he could enroll her in some cooking classes so she could, I don’t know, maybe learn how to properly prepare food and prioritize food over merging out jewelry. So I saw an article, I think it was at the Post, where when she was doing that turkey, she was wearing six figures worth of jewelry. getting salmonella all over that jewelry. Kane’s eyebrows shot up to the stratosphere. I don’t even own six figures worth of anything like that. I don’t even have a lot of… I mean, I have a couple of nice jewelry pieces, my wedding ring, and then one for my kids, and then a couple pairs of earrings, and that’s it. Everything else, y’all see the hoops I wear? Ladies, I get them on Amazon. I ain’t even kidding. They’re made in Vietnam and I paid twelve ninety nine for them. Not even lying, you know, because I go through them. Right. I wear I’ve worn them for 20 years. So that is a fact. That’s absolute fact. Why are you wearing six figures of jewelry to stuff a turkey? That’s so she just wanted to show off and be like, look how rich I am now. That’s all she wanted to do. Nobody does that unless they’re trying to show off. And she could tell she ain’t even handled a turkey before. My gosh. So I just think that we fought a war not to listen to overentitled brats like this dude. He is not one of us. Do not come over here. Live off daddy’s trust or your mommy’s trust fund and your allowance from daddy, which he used to get. Can’t even make his own money. Now he rents himself out to do these corporate speeches. I don’t know why anybody would listen to this guy give a corporate speech. The only thing that he ever won out was he won at genetics because he was born of his parents. That’s it. He won the lottery the day he was born to those two people. That’s his only achievement. And it’s not even anything that he did. Why would anybody bring him out to to to give a speech and lecture anything or her for that matter? My gosh. It’s just so cringetastic. But we fought a war to not have somebody over here using their British titles and lecturing all of us about our politics. So you’re not one of us. You don’t go here. We don’t care. Be quiet or get the hell back over across the pond. But I kind of think that they don’t want you either. Yeah. Can you believe getting all that salmonella all over? You’re nasty. Absolutely nasty. So, a few other things to make sure we jump into here. Minnesota. You realize that whenever you say the word Minnesota, you have to have a Minnesota accent to say it? Say it. Minnesota. You do, right? You do. All of a sudden, you got a Minnesota accent. It’s the only time ever, but you do. So, a Minnesota accent. They’re having some problems still. We were telling you about the insane fraud yesterday. By the way, did you know that Ilhan Omar promoted the safari restaurant in Minneapolis for feeding kids? The safari restaurant was part of that feed our future thing. the big fraud where you had members, again, Somali diaspora, who were stealing COVID funds to the tunes of tens of millions of dollars, federal taxpayer dollars too, because they got a federal grant for those. They were stealing COVID funds and pretending to feed hungry kids. And instead, they were just pocketing the money. So the owner of one of the restaurants who is a safari restaurant that was part of this, the owner donated to her campaign. He was one of the 50 people convicted in that $250 million Feed Our Future fraud scheme. Now, remember, of the 50 convicted, all but one were Somali nationals. All but one. And of the 86 who are now charged, 78. are Somali nationals. So out of this, there’s only three people who aren’t. And the one person who isn’t is the one, what was that lady’s name? Amy Brooke, I think, or Bach, Amy Bach. She was the co-founder or the co-director of the Feed Our Future. She was the only one of 50 who wasn’t. So they stole hundreds of millions of dollars. out of the mouths of hungry kids and out of the pockets of taxpayers. And Ilhan Omar was promoting this restaurant. Again, the guy was convicted in this. Listen to this.
SPEAKER 05 :
She’s saying everyone knows.
SPEAKER 30 :
I don’t know how that translation didn’t work out there. She said she’s talking about school kids. They only get their food from school. Remember, this is when they were shutting down schools. And so the Feed Our Future thing was supposed to be about feeding these hungry kids. And there’s some of the footage of it. So she’s bragging about this restaurant. And she’s at that restaurant in this video, if you’re watching on the simulcast. And she’s promoting it. And I mean, this guy who owns this place, who donated to her campaign, was convicted. One of the people convicted in this $250 million fraud scheme. And she’s promoting it. Right here. Is that surprise you at all? That Ilhan Omar, the lady who married her brother and committed immigration fraud, that she would also be defrauding taxpayers? Nobody. And the number of kids was overestimated. Like they it was like millions that they did this now in more from Minnesota. So they took state and federal Medicaid dollars. So you have the Feed Our Future Fund, the Housing Stabilization Services. And then you also, I mean, you had three different programs that they had and they were abusing. And then you have, let’s see here. I mean, there’s a couple of there’s tons of different investigations currently. I mean, this is so bad. And then remember how they’re estimating that the Minnesota taxpayer is the biggest funder of Al-Shabaab in Africa. One of the NGOs that’s headquartered in Minnesota is getting paid $2,375 for every Somalian immigrant that they bring into the United States. And the main group bringing them in is apparently Lutheran Social Services. And they get $2,375 for everyone that they bring in. The money is a one-time reception and placement grant of $2,425 per refugee. Now, remember, the Trump administration is changing the acceptance for refugees because in order to get – I mean, refugee and asylee status, those are very specific things, and they also have caps. And so you have these people who are neither of those things who abuse it, and they come here to the United States. And then people who truly are refugees or asylum seekers, they can’t get placed. They can’t get entry. And so the money is supposed to it’s not supposed to be profit for this NGO. But, you know, it is. It absolutely is. It’s supposed to be cover air airfare reimbursement. Why are we paying for any of this? A lot of this is federal taxpayer dollars going to this. The funds in Minnesota totaled over four million for 10,000 refugees in 2018 alone. Lutheran Social Services is one of 10 of these agencies that the State Department contracted to handle all of the logistics for this. I mean, it keeps getting worse with more and more things that we discover. It keeps getting worse and worse and worse. it’s insane. And, you know, the way the media writes it, for instance, KSTP, one of their local media, they go, Somali Minnesotans generate at least $500 million in income annually and they pay, you know, $60 million in state and local taxes. The article, though, that they published doesn’t include how much welfare and public services they receive and how much they stole, which I think is incredibly relevant. Don’t you think so? I mean, when you’re doing this, when you’re making these determinations. And It’s expanding. Now, here’s where it gets super crazy. It’s not just in Minnesota. It’s in Maine. It’s everywhere. Now there’s a new discovery in Maine from the Maine wire. They said that taxpayer funded welfare systems are also being exploited on a massive scale in Maine. So you’ve seen all this stuff in Minnesota. Well, in Maine, they’re having the same thing. A Somali-American, his name’s Abdullah Ali, received tens of millions of dollars from Maine’s Medicaid program. And then he publicly bragged about bankrolling a paramilitary militia in Somalia. From 2019 to 2024, this agency, they billed MaineCare nearly $30 million. And then he gave interviews in the press where he said during this exact time, And he was doing interviews in the press stating that he was funneling money overseas to fund weapons and supplies for this paramilitary Somali militia. What? Now it makes me wonder. This is Minnesota and Maine. Where else is this happening? Where else is this occurring? I mean, this is bad. And the mains the at the same time, this guy was getting all this money. I mean, he’s running this for profit agency that’s supposed to be all about Somali immigrants. He’s literally he’s described as a Somali warlord. who received 30 million in main care funds while building a paramilitary force in Somalia. And he was running also for president of Jubilant, which I guess is a place, you know, that where this paramilitary force has jurisdiction in Somalia. How is this guy getting that money, taxpayer dollars? I mean, when we meet with the IRS, we got to show we’re seats for everything because every time a Democrat’s been in the White House, we get audited every year in a row. But this this can happen. Are you kidding me? This is taxation without representation. We’re being defrauded. I don’t think at this point that people should just go to jail. I think we need capital punishment for the people that are fleecing Americans to this extent. And all the people at the agencies that allowed it to happen, because unless there’s a serious deterrent, you’re never going to get rid of this. We got a lot more on the way as we roll towards days of these United States, our partners. It is the good people over at Preborn. This is a private organization that doesn’t get all the kind of funding that we’re talking about with these NGOs. Can you imagine if they had? No, this is all from the generosity of people like you. They save lives since 2007. Consider this. Since 2007, they saved half a million babies. A whole generation, you guys, rescued through Preborn. Women get all these dumb messages from society that we’re too weak to have children. We’re too weak if we’re facing an unplanned pregnancy. We’re not strong enough. They only want you to think that you are only so strong, but not that strong. Preborn says, nope, that’s not true. And they partner with these women. They meet them where they are. So not only do they introduce them to their babies with an ultrasound, and numerous studies show that when a woman facing an unplanned pregnancy hears her baby’s heartbeat for the first time, that baby’s chance at life doubles. So in addition to that, they also meet with them for the first and partner with them for the first two years of the baby’s life. maternity clothes, counseling, diapers, so much more to make sure they get off on a rock solid, have a rock solid foundation, get off on the right foot. $28 is the cost of one ultrasound. What? I mean, that’s a dinner out. That is the best $28 you’ll ever spend in your life. You’re storing up your treasure in eternity. So join me this Christmas for just $28. You can help save a life, a life that could change the world. To donate securely and 100% tax-deductible, dial pound 250 and say the word baby or visit preborn.com slash Dana.

SPEAKER 24 :
Back in my great state of California, my very own governor, Gavin Newsom, has vetoed our menopause bill, not one but two years in a row. But that’s okay. Because he’s not going to be governor forever. And with the way he’s overlooked women, half the population, by devaluing us in midlife, he probably should not be our next president either. Oh, damn.
SPEAKER 30 :
Just saying. Holly just kicked him in the jimmies. By the way, do you know that he had to walk out on stage right after that? She introduced him. Man, she’s got some balls. I’m just saying. More than he does. Dang. It also makes me terrified of menopause. Oh, my gosh. Just remember, like, my great aunt. I have a story of her sitting and we all, like, me and my cousins were out. And, you know, like, you run around and you go and visit different families in a small town. You just go and go to visit your aunt. Everybody’s doors unlock. You throw open the door. She always had cookies. And she’s, like, sitting in front of a fan. That’s it. Like… Thankfully, it was we only saw her sitting down in a chair from the back and we all ran out. We’re like, I don’t know what we just saw. And now that’s the image that terrifies me. So I’m like, oh, my gosh. And when I hear ladies talk about it, because it seems like the way that it’s handled and the way that it’s treated is there’s a huge discrepancy there. And I don’t think – I don’t know. I’m not getting into the sexist stuff. But, you know, one of the things that Lorraine mentioned was that she can’t believe there has to be a law to force doctors to get trained on that kind of care. And I don’t believe Gavin Newsom’s excuse, like his spokesperson was saying, oh, we’re just trying to help people, you know, from paying too much money. Nobody believes that, especially after your railway to nowhere. No one believes that. I mean, one of the things that he probably could have done to reduce some of the bureaucracy so that women could get the health care that they need in California, like actual health care. You know, that’s one that’s that’s the type of health care women actually need. Not like we’re going to abort children after we engage in procreation, like women are too stupid to know how babies are made. it seems like she was pretty spot on with that. And I’m just going to say, she seems like, I don’t know, have you seen her on John Wick? Like, she trained at Taron Tactical. She knows her way around a 9mm. Just saying. Just saying. You know, politically speaking, we got a lot more on the way. We got some Irish stuff, Netherlands and Spain are boycotting the Eurovision. We got a whole bunch of things coming up. Stick with us.

SPEAKER 09 :
Can you shed any light on why the fraud got so out of control in Minnesota?
SPEAKER 06 :
I think what happened is that when you have these kind of new programs that are designed to help people, you’re oftentimes relying on third parties to be able to facilitate. And I just think that a lot of the COVID programs that were set up, they were set up so quickly that a lot of the guardrails did not get created.
SPEAKER 30 :
Wait a minute. That’s we were told that we were racist and we wanted people to die if we said stuff like that. So just saying that’s Ilhan Omar, who did not do a very good job of ailing herself. By the way, she was wasn’t she like one of the people responsible for didn’t she introduce one of those bills? I thought. She introduced one of those COVID bills, if memory serves. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. And we are at the top already of the second hour. And I, you know, I’m looking at this. Like you had KSTP saying that Somali Minnesotans generate at least $500 million in income annually and they pay about $67 million in state and local taxes. A friend of mine said, yeah, there’s 80,000 – and I was just checking this on break – 80,000 Somalis in the state. So $6,250 annually. income generated per person eight hundred thirty seven dollars and fifty cents in tax paid that’s not like the big boom that they said it was and that doesn’t include all of the taxpayer funds that are used for welfare the fraud the hundreds of millions of dollars in fraud that they committed all of this so yeah that ends up being actually and it doesn’t include the cost of educating them the crime The speakers, the English people to get non-English speakers to deal with them. All of that doesn’t include any of that. So, yeah, I don’t think that’s a net gain. It is a major problem. This is but it’s an opportunity for Republicans. It was handed to them on a platter. Golly, this should be… And you know what? You know this is in every state. So it should be in ads in every state. Because we were just telling you last hour, this is also a big problem in Maine. It’s a major problem in Maine. They have the same thing. I would imagine, Cain, that we have it in Texas. Probably every… single state has obviously a form of fraud involving NGOs. We know that for a fact. I mean, just with immigration alone, it’s insane. But with this kind of stuff, you know, it’s horrible. This is why I don’t think that we… One of the reasons why I want the federal income tax abolished is because I would wager that half of it’s waste. I think it’s that bad.
SPEAKER 17 :
Probably more than that.
SPEAKER 30 :
I think it’s that bad. But see… Government does not want to stop spending. That’s why I’m like rolling my eyes at yesterday was and I’m still mad over, you know, the Dan Patrick thing where he’s Dan Patrick wants to pass a constitutional amendment. Texas state constitution, you know, the Trump accounts. And I did the deep dive on that. If you want to go read it over at Substack chapter and verse. So you had the Dells that gave money to the Trump accounts, the Dells donation that six, 6.5 billion has a separate list of requirements for it. But then you have another set of requirements for the overall Trump accounts. And that’s a thousand dollars drawn out of the treasury and put in each of these accounts. It’s not a tax credit. I think people are using that word. Don’t know. No offense, but you don’t know what tax credits are. That’s not what a tax credit is. It’s actual money that’s drawn out of the U.S. Treasury and placed in these accounts. And it’s publicly funded. It’s all taxpayer funded. Dan Patrick, the lieutenant governor of Texas, is wanting to pass a constitutional amendment to the Republic of Texas so that all of us taxpayers are on the hook. To give apparently in Texas, Dan Patrick thinks that babies have a right to thousand dollars each from Texan taxpayers instead of paying down and making it to where we don’t have any more property taxes. They’re going to spend more money, more money into this. It’s not their money to spend. And he’s like all giddy about it. He thinks it’s a great big ass kiss and move to the administration. I mean, he can’t get his lips off of Trump’s backside. He’s just doubling and tripling down on it. He wants to pass a constitutional amendment to do it. I’m going to tell you something. If you want to fight, by God, that’s how you get a fight. Absolutely. You will get the fight of your political life. I promise you. You do something stupid like this, there will be no quarter given. Asinine. livid. Our property taxes are through the roof in Texas. Sales tax, all of this. I would be fine with just a consumption tax. I’m all fine actually with a graduated consumption tax. I think that that works well. That’s how I look at it. No income tax, no property tax. Have a graduated consumption tax. It’s automatic. You got to do it. Figure out a way. It should be easy to then funnel it to the feds and pay for military and that kind of thing. Have a portion of the sales tax go and fund police and emergency services. Paying for everybody else’s kid’s education ain’t my damn responsibility, nor is it yours. If you’ve got a problem with that, you’re welcome to send your happy ass to China or go to Russia. Go to anywhere where you think you can get free something. So… I’m livid over this. I was just shocked when I read that. Shocked when I read that post that he put up on X. I’m just like, that’s, oh my gosh. Now, why in the world would we, this is where Republicans are going to mess up. You have all this fraud in all these states. What Dan Patrick ought to be doing is saying, you know what? You have house oversight looking into this fraud with these NGOs. You’ve got the Treasury Department investigating it. You’ve got the FBI investigating, and we’re going to, I’m going to work with Kim Paxton, and we’re going to have our own investigation here in Texas, and we’re going to look at this and get this money back for Texan taxpayers. Now, that’s the way to do it. Not this whole, we’re going to pay everybody. It’s welfare. We’re going to give everybody $1,000 to buy them babies. That’s what it is. Oh, my gosh, it makes me so mad I could talk about this for ages. I mean, right, Cain? I mean, I’m not wrong on this. Why are you not raging as much as me on this?
SPEAKER 17 :
Is that what I’m supposed to do?
SPEAKER 30 :
Well, yeah, you think that you should be responsible for paying people who have babies in the Republic of Texas? So we would be on the hook twice. Not only would we be paying it federally, but then we’ve got to pay it for the state of Texas, too. Because he says, I want to increase it. I want to expand it.
SPEAKER 17 :
I wish we would go back to the old days before we created the Fed where any politician, anybody in government who wanted to spend government money on a project, they had to go to the American people hat in hand and say, here are these bonds. If you would like to help me with my idea of doing this for the country, buy these bonds. And then the people that actually wanted that to happen for the country would actually buy the bonds. The idea would have funding, and then they’d go forward with it. Instead, now what they do is they borrow the money from a Fed who just prints it. And then it injects it into the actual economy, which dilutes the value of the dollar for everybody. And that system has been going on for more than 100 years, and it’s been screwing us over. It is time to end it.
SPEAKER 30 :
That reminds me of that story, the Davy Crockett and welfare and the phrase not yours to give. I’ve talked about this before because he came up, he was running for office and he went up to this farmer and was asking for this farmer’s vote. And that farmer dressed him down six ways to Sunday because before then members of Congress, they had decided to give taxpayer funds to this widow. whose husband had served, but then he was able to retire after service in old age, got his pension, all that stuff, and passed away. And they wanted to give her a monetary award. Davy Crockett’s like, you know, she don’t need it. And this is, you know, this is taxpayer money, isn’t it? And he took a stance against it. And he was explaining to members of Congress that something like this had come up before. And he had agreed to voted with them to give taxpayer money away like this. And that farmer never never forgot that vote. So when Davy Crockett went and met with that farmer and asked him for his vote, that farmer said, no, this is what you did. You gave away our money. It wasn’t yours to give. So when this widow situation came up, Davy Crockett explained that story on the floor of Congress. And he’s like, never again will I do that. He said public money belongs to the people. The end. So I think Dan Patrick needs to familiarize himself with not only that story, but history and also maybe the will of the voter. I mean, I look at this like, well, I love the idea. And then he keeps going on. He’s like, I want to explain that program. We’re going to have the new little Texan savings fund. We’re going to give all them babies an additional thousand dollars each of your tax paying dollars. Woo wee. Are you kidding me right now? You want to have another Alamo on your hand? You want to have another Alamo, another San Jacinto on your hands? Is that what you want to do? What do you want to do? Kidding me. He goes, this new initiative is going to cost our budget about $400 million per year. Oh, only $400 million of tax pay in dollars. He goes, it’s a great way to return money back to families. No, the great way is to pay down our property tax, get us off the hook for that so that we can pass property, we can remove and abolish property taxes in our local communities in the meantime. That’s the smart way to do it, sir. Acting like you’re doing, it’s not yours to give. Two things make me infuriated. Gun control and taxes. Man, it is a rare Republican that runs, not so much anymore, that runs afoul of both of them. Telling you what. So the reason I say that Republicans need to be careful is the economy is shaky. People are still hurting. There’s not a lot of things in the big, beautiful, whatever bill aren’t even going to kick into effect until next year. So people are hurting. Although some consumer spending is trending upward because I think they’re anticipating the change after the first of the year. However, it’s still rough. You still got some high prices. This is the wrong time to do this stuff. The wrong time to do it. To sit here and talk about spending more money. And then you got all this stuff with Minnesota. Do you think taxpayers are in the mood to hear you people in D.C. and in Austin, Texas and all the state capitals lecture us about spending more of our taxpayer dollars when we got these NGOs out there defrauding us to the tune of a billion plus dollars? Y’all can’t even keep track of the money that we’re forced to give you anyway. And you want more? Are you high? Are you eating them gummies, Dan Patrick? That is the only way on God’s green earth that you can come to this half-assed conclusion and push this. Jiminy Christmas. We’re all going to need them gummies after this. What do they call them? The consumables? Edibles or whatever? What’s the hippie lingo for it?
SPEAKER 17 :
They’re edibles. The edibles. Yeah.
SPEAKER 30 :
Okay. I want to make sure I get the lingo right, you know.
SPEAKER 17 :
Oh, wait. They’re edibles, man. Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 30 :
You got to talk like Cheech and Chong. Right. No, we have got to get a handle on it. Republicans need to not mess this up. Think about this. You know, when you’re sitting here talking about your expanded subsidies for Obamacare, Trump said that he would like to get rid of the income tax. If he actually was able to do that, I’d put a statue of him in my yard. Not kidding you. I’m going to hold you to that. If he got rid of income taxes, federal income taxes, I’d put a statue of him in my yard. But he’s not going to do it.
SPEAKER 17 :
I’m going to hold you to that.
SPEAKER 30 :
Because you can’t even get congressional Republicans to repeal Obamacare. No, instead what they did the last budget battles, they expanded the damn subsidies. statue in the yard they went along with it you got a federal deficit that this year was 1.8 trillion national debts 38 trillion federal income tax raised from uh in fiscal year 2025 was 2.7 trillion where do we think this revenue is coming from as we move our partners that help bring you the program it’s the folks over at relief factor relief factor as you guys know is uh uh 100% drug-free formula.

And now all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s quick five.
SPEAKER 30 :
So POTUS, we’ve talked about this, is freezing immigration applications from 19 countries could expand. What’s new is that it actually now could expand to 30 nations or more. In a four page memo that was issued late yesterday or actually early yesterday, U.S. Citizenship Immigration Services directed a hold on green card and citizenship applications from those nations, as well as requests for benefits. I think if you’re asking for benefit, you should immediately be disqualified for consideration. You’re ineligible. If you have to have benefits, you’re absolutely ineligible to come into this country. End up. No exceptions. No exceptions. I’m so tired of this. I mean, we’re not the bank for the world, right? We’re not everybody’s mom and dad. I mentioned this last quick five, but I wanted to make sure I gave it its proper due. American Eagle, their shares jumped after Martha Stewart was revealed as the new face of the brand following the Sidney Sweeney stuff. So are people going to go after her? She’s all in a Canadian tuxedo, you know, and one of the images in an all denim blue kitchen. So I’m just wondering. I like the Sidney Sweeney ad. It was great. It was a great ad. Elton John declares that if Trump cures AIDS, he would become the greatest president ever. Just AIDS or maybe, like, I don’t know, any of the other diseases that don’t require complete fornication in order to contract. But I like Elton John, though, because he’s not a nut. You know what I mean? Elton John seems like he’s tired of everybody’s nonsense and he wants people to get along. He’s the gran at the party who gets mad if you argue. That’s Elton John. So I appreciate that quality. I do. Also… It’s true. Also, digital burnout is now the default state of being online. Constant notifications top the list at 24 percent, followed closely by social media overload. This is why I don’t answer messages. This is why I rarely text back. Even I’m just I barely use my phone. I’ve noticed, actually, I use my phone for work. And that’s kind of it. I don’t like talking on it. I hate texting. And I don’t do direct messages. Rarely do I ever. And usually it’s like, thanks. I don’t want to be online all the damn time. Don’t you feel like society is conditioning you to just… transition to be totally online well now that’s what this study’s getting into now everybody is digital burnout it’s a real thing children sob as a waymo runs over a dog no waymo it ran over a dog in san francisco oh the dog’s condition is unclear and kids saw it and were bawling i would take a sledgehammer to that waymo myself stick with us we got more in store it is the folks over at burn a gun you guys are told you before I have no issue using lethal force to protect my life or protect that of somebody else’s. And so with everything being unpredictable and the crime rates being what they are and with private property restrictions and local and municipal restrictions, it’s always good to be able to diversify your weapons array and have an option when you’re disarmed. under no choice of your own.

SPEAKER 08 :
This is my first question, and don’t laugh. Does the D.O.W. have any evidence at all of a French military plot to assassinate Candace Owens?
SPEAKER 03 :
That is an interesting question. Not that I’m aware of, but, you know, interesting question. I can try to find out and maybe let you know. I think that might be more of a law enforcement matter, though.
SPEAKER 30 :
And it’s kayfabe. Completely. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you at the bottom of the second hour. What a crazy the Pentagon press secretary is like, yeah, no, that didn’t happen. I didn’t want to get into all of that. I hate talking about kayfabe actors. And just a reminder, you know, Owens literally was a hardcore progressive up until 2016. She was a protege of Al Sharpton and she doxed conservatives online. You don’t just immediately flip like that with no explanation as to why. It’s very weird. I just think that she just chases the money. One of my friends, Kara Davis, was like warning people about this like forever. And she got some pretty harsh criticism in the very beginning. I think you remember some of that, Kane. She got a lot of harsh criticism for that, but she was right. I mean, other people, you know, Sonny Johnson, you know, a lot of other conservatives who’ve been around for a long time are like, yeah, no, no, no, this is a grift. But the reason I bring it up is because that’s the stupidest story ever that I’ve ever heard. It’s all total kayfabe. It’s all it is. Her whole thing is kayfabe.
SPEAKER 17 :
All right. What’s kayfabe?
SPEAKER 30 :
That’s the… Is that B-fake?
SPEAKER 17 :
Is that what the pig Latin for B-fake?
SPEAKER 30 :
I don’t want to hear from wrestling people. It’s the fake wrestling drama.
SPEAKER 17 :
Oh, okay.
SPEAKER 30 :
You know what kayfabe is because you like wrestling, right?
SPEAKER 17 :
Well, I know that it’s, like, I looked it up.
SPEAKER 30 :
It’s in, like, WWE, and it’s, like, the acting and presenting the matches is real. Okay. Like, you buy into the reality of all of that, and it’s kayfabe.
SPEAKER 07 :
Got it.
SPEAKER 30 :
That’s what it is.
SPEAKER 07 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 30 :
So this is political kayfabe. That’s exactly what it is. The reason I bring it up is, and I haven’t talked a lot about it because I don’t like slumming it and I’m not going to debase myself and debase this program by punching down and doing all that and engaging in this stupidity. But TPUSA addressed it yesterday. And because she was basically accusing the whole entire organization of being complicit. I just think it sounds like she had an unrequited crush on Charlie Kirk and was scorned that he didn’t return her affections. That’s what it comes off as. Because some of the stuff that she says about his widow is really petty and catty. And chicks know cattiness. dudes it flies over your head and that’s not because you’re dumb it’s just because you’re not petty dudes are not petty it is like dudes have other skills right you guys can fix stuff women are petty that’s a skill we got sometimes dudes can be that way too but it’s very rare it’s like a unicorn right it’s very rare or it doesn’t exist but it’s just um You know, the stuff that’s been said is insane. And I don’t know how deeply I want to get involved in this, like I said, because it just it feels cheap. And there’s so many other important things to talk about, like actually important things. But I think this is an organization that actually moves the needle. And she doesn’t. I mean, sorry, but just sitting and screaming into a microphone without doing anything else to help propel the movement isn’t a contribution. It’s not. There’s tons of people every day that talk into microphones, you know, tons of people every day. And you just can’t keep coming up with conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory and offering zero proof. You know, at first we were supposed to believe that some Egyptian plane was trailing Erica Kirk and all this other stuff, and it’s just asinine. And I feel bad for her having to deal with this while also… going into the holiday season, mind you, dealing with this with two little kids, an organization that she’s now running, and then all of this stuff in the press. And it’s all because I think Owens just wants to make money. You can see it with Tucker Carlson’s videos. The videos where he talks to normal people about normal things, they get no views. like maybe a thousand here or there. The stuff that is crazy and over the top conspiratorial gets tons of views. And it’s not because people find it influential. It’s because they like the car wreck. People, that’s why they watch cops. That’s why people watch reality television. It’s the attraction of the circus. They like watching things that are crazier than they are. It makes them feel better about their lives, right? Or they just find it entertaining. It’s not that it’s influential. And I think it’s incredibly, I think it’s a sign of low IQ to misinterpret that as influence. You have an organization, as I said, that actually does move the needle. And you have kayfabe actors who don’t, that just want the clicks and they want the money and they want a share of the digital economy. You know, we had a meeting about this just yesterday. One of the things that I’ve routinely refused to do on this program is debase myself and debase this program and engage in conspiratorial BS. And I also, you know, a lot of these conservatives now and podcasters and some of their big names that are just now pretending that they see this. It’s not that they just now saw that Owens was nuts. It’s that they’re a bunch of pansy ass cowards who were too afraid to say anything earlier. There were a lot of other very brave conservatives out there talking it up and saying, look, this is what’s up and this is what we know. And these people tried playing both sides of it for a long time. And they wanted to cover their asses because they were too terrified of losing a slice of that digital pie than to respect you enough to be honest with you. That’s what this is all about. And they think you’re too stupid to notice. These people aren’t operatives. Most of them are newsreaders. So yeah, I just find it interesting now that a lot of people are like, wow, who knew that she, everybody did. But a lot of the people in the conservative sphere are a bunch of female copulatory organs and they lack the spine to say so. I mean, I’m not going to name names, but you know who they are. And I have no problem saying it to their blanking face. That being said, this, apparently they’re going to have a debate. What is there to debate? They’re going to have a debate about all this stuff. What is there to debate? And of course, she loves it because it’s attention for her. You know, she can, you know, make money in her gay husband with the, you know. Oh, sorry. We’re not supposed to say that out loud. He’s never going to inherit his daddy’s title. That was a grace and favor thing. Never going to happen. But I’m just saying so they can make money and they can hire interior designers like David Netto and do all this stuff. That’s what they do. They have their mansions and they hire these like multi-million dollar interior designers. It’s all about the grift, guys. It’s all about the grift. So there you go. So I don’t know. I don’t think TPUSA should be punching down. to kayfabe actors just so they can enrich themselves with their gay husbands i don’t think they should don’t punch down that’s all i’m going to say about it and if you dislike my commentary you can send it to kiss at my a double snakes.com all right now let’s move on to some other things oh i have no problem telling people this to their face which is why people like tucker carlson won’t come on my show so do you want me to spill all the secrets i’m happy to No, I’m happy with the platform that I’ve built. We’ll go on every other friendly show, but not me, people who brought him scoops and all this stuff. I don’t care. I mean, again, kayfabe has a shelf life. Some of us have been out here for a long time because we’re consistent and we have trust that’s built up with our audiences and we don’t flirt around with conspiratorial horse feces. So there you go. All right. Now, moving on to actual important stuff, because we’ve been talking about this Minnesota fraud and it’s not just in Minnesota. And we’re going to be looking at other states where that are seeing massive, massive instances of fraud. Maine’s one of them. And I know in Texas with certain NGOs, we have it. But it’s incredibly, incredibly bad. We played that audio soundbite from Ilhan Omar. I’ll tell you this. I hope Republicans are making ads about this right now. Make ads. They need to be making ads about this right now. And just get it ready for midterms. A lot of these NGOs, too, have issues with, I mean, you’re talking about illegal immigrants from across the border. Here’s this story, New York Post, speaking of immigration, illegal aliens. A Mexican illegal alien was accused of killing an 11-year-old boy in a hit and run. He was previously deported four times. Four times. 11-year-old boy, heinous hit and run. And Hector Balderas Aguilar was on track for deportation for the fifth time. And the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office denied the immigration detainer from the feds, even after Newsom’s office said, quote, nothing prohibits the federal government from doing its job in this case. Oh, yeah. So this dude, and I feel so bad for this family because the family’s here legally. That’s the other thing. You know, all these leftists, they talk about how it hurts the illegal immigrants that are coming in. What about the legal immigrants that are here, the people who are Americans that joined our American family and that live here? They’re disproportionately affected by this. Case in point, we have the mother, Maria DePass, who’s now going to be going through Christmas without her baby. Went through Thanksgiving without her baby. You know, this little boy passed away on Thanksgiving morning from his injuries sustained after he was run over by an illegal alien. Awful. He was playing with another child. They were at the end of a residential street. And this guy was like speeding down the street, apparently erratically, and just plowed into him. Wasn’t even paying attention. And I love it how the legacy press is going, well, Balderas Ahilor does not have a criminal record. You idiots. He illegally entered the country four times already. What are you talking about? He does have a criminal record right there. And that’s just what we know about. And they protected him. The state of California protected him. Didn’t protect the 11-year-old that he ran over, but protected that guy. This is asinine. This is what Gavin Newsom wants to enact across the entire country. You think that’s bad? There’s another one. A legal alien that had two prior DUIs ran over an eight-year-old girl and injured multiple other people in a fiery head-on crash in San Diego this past Sunday. It’s a drunken driver. Seven people were hospitalized. Driving erratically, he ran head-on into a truck. An eight-year-old girl was killed. Brian Rodriguez, 25, an illegal alien from Guatemala in California, killed an eight-year-old girl. He illegally entered on February of 2018. Kane, who was president? Oh, that was Trump. Under Trump. And then guess what? He had detainers to be deported Guess where he was in sanctuary cities that were fighting it. So Trump was in the White House. Trump’s eyes had a detainer on this guy. Sanctuary cities and states in California protected him and refused to deport him. So he’s gotten charged with two DUIs when they finally did send him back and he came back in again illegally. came back in September 2020, and then he immediately got charged with another two DUIs. April 7th of 21, March of 23. Then another immigration judge ordered him removed from the US, but he wouldn’t do it again. So they’re putting a detainer on him after he’s formally charged. How many more people have to die? I mean, these policies don’t care about kids like this. They don’t care about these, you know, the innocent people who have to put up with this lawlessness and disorder. We have more on the way. We’ve got Florida Man coming up.

SPEAKER 16 :
It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.
SPEAKER 30 :
It has been way too long since, well, it’s been, what, three days since we’ve had a story about a machete came in Florida. Another Florida man arrested after a road rage incident ends in alleged machete threats. It was a little machete. Yeah, it’s twee. It was a twee machete. A Florida man is accused of threatening to kill three people with a small machete during a road rage. What is a small machete? What’s the regular size?
SPEAKER 17 :
I think a small machete is like a big knife.
SPEAKER 30 :
What is a regular…
SPEAKER 17 :
Machete’s a big… Actually, let me see.
SPEAKER 30 :
What is the difference?
SPEAKER 17 :
Big sword looking thing. And then a small machete would be like a big knife.
SPEAKER 30 :
No, that’s just a knife.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yeah, it’s a big knife.
SPEAKER 30 :
I don’t know. Apparently, is it less adapted to jungle tasks? I don’t know. So 18 inches is the common regular average size of machetes. Then there’s a short one that’s between like 10 and 14 inches. Okay, so that’s where we’re at. I don’t know why I needed to know this. Anyway, so this dude got arrested because he was threatening to use his small machete to kill people on the road. The guy, James Varner… He of Miami Beach allegedly followed a victim to the resident because I guess he was like riding their bumper. Followed the victim to the residence, approached the guy yelling and then headbutted him. Caused the fight between the two. The family rushed out to break it up and then he got out a small machete from his vehicle and made verbal threats to kill everybody. So he was taken in the county jail. What is wrong with you? People who get road rage, unclench your cheeks. Yeah, the ones you sit on. Stop it. Can’t deal. Let’s see. Oh, this is what I wanted. This is so bad. I don’t like DoorDash. I don’t know why. Well, I know a couple reasons why. Because sometimes they’ll tell me someone’s delivering my food at DoorDash and then an entirely different person in an entirely different car shows up. And I’ve reported it several times and DoorDash doesn’t care. They don’t do anything. I think that’s kind of a safety issue. Like what if you’re a single woman and you’re ordering food and a big giant dude who is not the tiny woman that you thought was delivering your food shows up. You know what I’m saying? This DoorDash driver was caught. He was delivering chicken wings, dropped the box on the porch. A chicken wing rolled out on the concrete. He put it back in the box, licked his fingers and then walked away. Didn’t say nothing to the customers. I mean, people know, right, like that there’s these doorbell cameras. And that’s what this Florida customer, Trina Brown, she saw it on her door video doorbell footage. And the driver was he was trying to get it out of the insulated bag. But then the thing all fell to the ground. And he put the lid back on, put the wing that and that fell on the concrete porch back in the box. And then that’s it. That’s so nasty. And she said if it wasn’t for the security footage, they would have never known that their food hit the ground. You don’t do wings like that. That is that’s blasphemous. You don’t do no chicken wings like that. That’s so nasty. I got a lot more in store. Stick with us. Third hour on the way. It is the folks over at Keltec, K-E-L-T-E-C. They have a program that is called the Peacekeepers Program, and it supports those who protect our communities, military, law enforcement, church security teams and school resource officers. They have faith-based teams and SROs that usually rely on small concealable pistols that have pretty limited range and power. Caltech’s long guns solve that problem, and they fold compact for discrete carry and deploy in seconds with full rifle capability. Now, the participants in the Peacekeepers program, they get mission-ready support, extra platform testing, they get armor training, security insights, and mission-ready tools all tailored to faith environments, but they also get that Peacekeepers pricing for budget-conscious organizations. Now, the program’s already active. There are a couple of dozen churches throughout the faith-based security network that are already using it, taking advantage of it, as well as a number of police departments. And you can learn more about the Peacekeepers program at keltecweapons.com slash Dana. You can go and fill out that contact form there, keltecweapons.com slash Dana.

Picture this. You’re on a date, and the conversation’s flowing, the food’s amazing, and then bad breath happens. Suddenly, you’re leaning back instead of leaning in. Confidence gone. Or maybe it’s a big meeting. You’ve got the pitch nailed, the deal perfect, but coffee breath is doing all the talking. Not the impression you want to leave behind.

SPEAKER 26 :
today to say enough. Our Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act has a remarkable, unprecedented 123 original co-sponsors. Before we’ve even introduced it, 123 co-sponsors, and it overhauls the detention system. It drastically scales back the use of detention. It ensures that every single immigrant who is in detention has their human and civil rights protected. Our bill also phases out the use of private for-profit detention centers. It prohibits the detention of children and families and makes it harder to detain primary caregivers and vulnerable people like pregnant women or seniors or workers who are whistleblowing and unscrupulous employers. It requires DHS to allow members of Congress… Then stay in your country and be pregnant there.
SPEAKER 30 :
It’s not my responsibility to raise everybody else’s family. And it’s cruel. What about the decency and respect for taxpayers here and citizens here? What about that? The Dignity Act. What about the dignity of American citizens? That’s Premier Jayapal who wants taxpayer funded attorneys for everybody who crosses the border illegally. I don’t think so. Welcome back to the program. Top of this third hour. Dana Lash with you. I’m so tired of this stuff. So tired of it. No, just stay in your own country. Just stay and deal with it there.
SPEAKER 17 :
It’s like Democrats are dead set on punishing American people. The process is the punishment. This process is the punishment. So what do they do? Implement more process.
SPEAKER 30 :
They hate Americans. I mean, there’s just no other way to put it. It’s ridiculous. I want to take a quick detour. And I know I didn’t have this one. I’m sorry. But I just I feel like we’ve missed an opportunity to make fun of the way Gavin Newsom is sitting and cut 17. And I don’t really care what he says here. I just. Is he a eunuch? Y’all watch this. Watch this video. So 17.
SPEAKER 20 :
I mean, you know, we could talk about why Kamala lost, which is separate. I mean, it’s part derivative of the larger narrative, but issues around inflation scars.
SPEAKER 30 :
His beans are probably screaming. Well, what beans are they? Now, I know some dudes cross their legs, but that tight, like you’re trying to hold a like a persimmon in your thighs. You know what I’m saying?
SPEAKER 17 :
Why’d you choose persimmon?
SPEAKER 30 :
Well, I mean, it just seemed too obvious to say like a walnut, you know?
SPEAKER 17 :
It looks like he’s trying to make his right foot as far left as possible. Trying to break his own ankle off. Yeah, as far right as possible.
SPEAKER 30 :
Can we just get like the zoom out of the original shot? Yeah, let’s just pause it there. What is up with this? Look. What is his leg? How does he? I can’t even make my leg do that. And I’m in big, giant, clunky combat boots right now. I can’t even make my leg. I literally am. I’m in giant combat boots right now. I can’t even make my leg do that. And I took 18 years of ballet. Who does that?
SPEAKER 17 :
I think some guys sit like that to show off their socks.
SPEAKER 30 :
Part of his thigh is necrotic now.
SPEAKER 17 :
Don’t they show their socks off sometimes by doing that?
SPEAKER 30 :
Do guys do that?
SPEAKER 17 :
I think so.
SPEAKER 30 :
Okay, the feller on the left, I don’t like pant legs that ride up that far. When a man sits down, get some proper damn pants because, you know, those are high waters that, you know, I don’t know. I just I can’t get over the way Gavin Newsom was sitting here. So the whole Internet’s like, what is the matter with you? Like he was talking about National Guard policies, basically the same thing Premier Jayapal was talking about. And somebody goes, quote, I’ve never seen a man crush his testicles harder than this dude. Do men, let me ask you, men, and this is for all the guys, because guys notice things and have different thoughts than women do. Women see this and we’re like, hmm, that looks effeminate. You guys look at this and like, how are you not dying to death from pain, right? What is your thought when you see a guy sitting like that?
SPEAKER 17 :
No, that’s what it is. It’s like, well, I guess you’ve done more yoga than me or something. I don’t know what it is.
SPEAKER 30 :
Steve, when you see a guy sit that tightly cross-legged… What do you think?
SPEAKER 12 :
I tend to like when I said I cross my ankles, I think most guys do that just across their feet and then rarely over the leg. But that is his legs are going the opposite way. I don’t know how he did that.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yeah, I mean, it’s like intentional.
SPEAKER 30 :
It’s like his legs are like that. Juan, do you think it looks effeminate?
SPEAKER 17 :
Yeah, I’m sure it does.
SPEAKER 30 :
i mean he’s our harpo marks i yeah it is i don’t know if i trust a guy who sits i like i understand if you cross your legs but you know you and i not having male anatomy and you know i have raised sons but i just think that would be painful right it’s like i don’t know i don’t want to get too into it but i just don’t know if i can trust a guy that sits like that You know, like he’s got to unwrap his legs if an intruder were to break in. He’s not going to help protect you. You got to uncross some legs to get up. That’s going to take some effort. That’s going to take a beat. You know, by that time, you know, you’re already dead. Just saying. I don’t know. Of course, he did violate lockdown to go sip some wine pinkies out at French Laundry. So I don’t know. But I had to share that because it was too. All right. Can we talk about the trans stuff? So a few things. This is in Britain. Speaking of trans, a female engineer took her employer to tribunal for having to share women’s toilets with a transgender colleague. She filed discrimination and lost her claim. The actual woman, Maria Kelly, objected to a man pretending to be a woman being allowed into the female loo at Leonardo UK’s office in Edinburgh. She took action against the defense giant alleging harassment related to sex, direct sex discrimination, and indirect sex discrimination. The tribunal told her to go pound sand, you stupid woman. No, they didn’t say that verbatim, but they pretty much did. She told the tribunal she began using a secret loo at her workplace because she didn’t want to go in with a dude in there. And apparently the dude was always in there whenever she went in. So she felt uncomfortable. And they told her that you don’t count. This is the I mean, it doesn’t matter if men’s claims are prioritized before women’s in these issues. Now, this is a story that’s crazy. And I want you to be really careful with the media narrative on this one. So I’m sure you’ve heard about this story. It is this Irish dude. His name is Enoch Burke. I can’t do an Irish accent totally well, but he was arrested over pronoun use. Now, here’s the prevailing story. And then I’m going to explain to you how the media is trying to spin it to give themselves an out. So this Enoch Burke, he was arrested and jailed in just last month because he refused to use a student who wanted to pretend to be another gender. He refused to use the transgender pupils preferred name and pronouns contrary to misleading online posts. He wouldn’t use he wouldn’t use the they them pronoun because he correctly deduced that it was stupid. And so he was arrested and imprisoned and, you know, all this stuff. Now, the media, because the public. has been so insane, rightfully so. So the media is like, no, no, no. Oh, no, he wasn’t arrested for pronoun use. He was arrested for contempt, not for pronoun use. It was because of contempt of court. Well, what was the contempt of court? He got fired from his job at school because he refused to say they, them and use they, them pronouns. He showed up for work again and they detained him. Well, why was he fired over pronoun use? Why was he detained related to the pronoun use? Therefore, he was jailed and arrested and all of this for pronoun use. They can try to spin it six ways to Sunday, but what caused the offense? He refused to play make-believe with pronouns. And so they’re trying to say, oh, this is misleading. It’s misleading. We’ve got to do a fact check on it. Oh, this isn’t correct. No, it is, though. It absolutely is. Because he would not have been in any of this. None of this would be happening if he had not refused to use they, them pronouns. This guy… I mean, he faces quite a long time in jail. I don’t know what the… I’ve seen different reports as to how long he could be in jail. But this has to do, let’s be real, this has to completely do with the pronoun usage. That’s it. I don’t even want to read this comment from the chat about Gavin Newsom, Cain. Yeah, I can’t read that one. We enjoy it immensely. I can’t read it on there. But I’m just… I get confused about this. So this happened, this story in Ireland, where this guy’s getting jailed, and it’s… I don’t know if it’s Northern Ireland or Republic Ireland, but they just… It’s Central Ireland, so Republic Ireland. How is this allowed to happen? Here’s the guy who’s being perp-walked into jail. Juan’s getting this ready. He… I… I’m shocked with this. He’s on X and he was he’s been posting about this on X as well. And how he was arrested at his house because all of this related to the pronoun usage. Because you don’t have free speech. You can use wrong pronouns and someone can say that this is that you’re you’re caused offense and it’s a jailable offense. But then I see video like them. So there’s a story. Let me pull this up. It’s BBC. A criminal investigation is underway after threats were made to elective representatives in Northern Ireland by three armed and masked men in front of an Irish flag. One of the men read a statement in which he said the area’s assembly members and councillors were considered targets because they flooded the country with illegal aliens and crime has increased, etc. They call themselves the New Republican Movement. And they said that… They that it was deplorable that they’ve had that they’ve had their country flooded and they said that you know there’s going to be there’s going to be repercussions for that. I mean it was threatening. Is what they said on, look, if you don’t want vigilantism, then you don’t pass policies for vigilantism. But how all of a sudden are people, whether it’s Northern Ireland or Republic Ireland, how do you get to the point where a guy can get jailed for not using the proper pronouns? But sometimes I’m like, is this performative? Like, why is this inconsistent? Where are the people out in the streets over the trans mafia? I mean, not just for illegal immigration. I mean, that’s incredibly important as well. They’ve been dealing with all kinds of, you know, foreign nationals that have been increasing crime and targeting and attacking women and girls in their countries. But like, how do you let it get this far? I say this, you know, here in the United States, we’re dealing with it. But I mean, I like the pushback. Now, you know, you could sit here and say, well, they shouldn’t be masked and they shouldn’t be. Well, what else are they supposed to do? I’m not justifying it. I’m asking you, what else are they supposed to do? Because the lawmakers that are supposed to be respecting the Constitution of their respective nations aren’t doing their job. They’re allowing the country to be overtaken by foreign nationals who just come in by the boatload. So what else are civilians supposed to do? If you don’t want vigilantism, then don’t put the ingredients into the vigilantism soup. Don’t make it. Don’t start it. Don’t start it and it won’t be nothing.

SPEAKER 30 :
All right, so a fighter jet crashed into a huge fireball. This was in San Bernardino near the Toronto airport. The pilot was able to safely eject, but it created a pretty nasty splosion. It was all splody, Kane. Pilot was treated for non-life-threatening injuries at a nearby hospital. So, my goodness, that’s… Yeah, that’s not what you want to see ever. Also, let’s see here. A doctor was charged in Friends actor Matthew Perry’s death, sentenced to two and a half years in prison as well. Let’s see. So this is in KSBW. I don’t know what town this is. So… What town is this? Carmel? Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yeah, Carmel-by-the-Sea.
SPEAKER 30 :
The city council voted to permanently ban pickleball. It’s a very wealthy California town. They’ve had laws against ice cream cones and high heels, so now apparently they’re going to outlaw pickleball. And a group of seniors who play pickleball every week are fighting back against the decision, so they’re leading the war effort against the decision. Yeah. I’m not into pickleball. I have family members who love it and play it religiously. One of them is now in tournaments, which I didn’t even know that they had. I mean, to be real, if I had a dodgeball league, I would totally be in dodgeball.
SPEAKER 17 :
Actually, we should start.
SPEAKER 30 :
I am so ridiculously… Look, I don’t really brag about myself, but I’m going to in this instance. You’re probably not going to find someone who’s as good at dodgeball as me.

That and skee-ball. Real good. Anyway, the ban is going to take effect in 30 days, and they’re already getting mad. So they’re going to have a big old fight on their hands. Caramel by the sea? Caramel by the sea? Out of all the things to ban, why that? Singing is good for your health. Just don’t do it in front of people unless you’re real good. And YouTube releases its first ever recap of videos that you watched, something that no one asked for, no one needed, and no one even thought that they needed. So coming up, Islamism.

SPEAKER 33 :
I don’t think it’s fair that he do that.
SPEAKER 19 :
And you were saying you think it’s going to hurt a lot of people?
SPEAKER 33 :
Oh, yeah, definitely. Definitely it’s going to hurt a lot of people. Because you never know, you know what? Especially now that we’re on the holidays and everybody wants to have a good dinner and everything. And if you don’t give it to them, it’s going to be really hard.
SPEAKER 01 :
It’s very sudden and it will affect people.
SPEAKER 30 :
So these are people who receive SNAP benefits and they say that they don’t think it’s fair to require 80 hours of work per month for food stamps. That’s like four hours a day.
SPEAKER 17 :
For five days a week?
SPEAKER 30 :
Yeah. What? You can’t work four hours a day, Monday through Friday?
SPEAKER 17 :
So we’re asking you for two weeks worth of work in a month.
SPEAKER 30 :
And they’re like, I don’t think it’s fair. I don’t think it’s fair that I have to work and you don’t. How about that? Any of us. Why should we work and you not get this is not, you know, a monarchy. You’re not a feudal lord. You know, we don’t have to sit here and and and. you that’s what this is oh my gosh I can’t believe the gall of some of these people well I think it’s unfair well I think it’s unfair that we’re all sacked with pain for your life when you refuse to work this is insane welcome back to the show Dana Lash with you we’re at the bottom of this third hour a few things still that I wanted to make sure that we get so where’s my where’s my correct hour here we are So in France, listen to this story. So in France, they’ve stepped up security at Christmas markets. You saw what happened in Brussels. You’ve seen what’s happened in Germany. You’ve seen what’s happened in Austria. So France is stepping up security at Christmas markets across their country over the very high threat of terror it’s facing. In a memo that’s been sent to regions across France, the Interior Minister, Laurent Nunez, asked officials to ensure that intel services are mobilized in the detection prevention and where necessary, the thwarting of terror attacks. They called for extra vigilance over the management of pedestrian traffic, you know, because you’ve had, they had trucks, they rent trucks and they just drive it into crowds. They also asked for local officials to issue orders prohibiting and restricting parking and traffic at large scale events. And they cited these attacks across Europe including the one in Strasbourg a few years ago that saw an Islamist slaughter five people and wound 11 others using a revolver and a knife. And I thought guns were banned over there. And they’ve got a real… How bad is that? Even Le Monde reported that France faces a new generation of terrorists who are a little more unpredictable in their attacks. And they said that data from intelligence services suggests that about two-thirds of terror attacks since 2020 were carried out by people who were not previously identified as potential threats. In the latest, they said… The latest generation of terrorists are likely to be impulsive, reducing the chance of early detection and all of that. And they’re inspired by other attacks. So they get into this copycat stuff. They said, according to Le Monde in France, 70 percent of the 37 people arrested for jihadi terror plots since 2023 were under the age of 21. Some of them as young as 15. Now, in this year alone, they said they’ve had six planned attacks that were thwarted. And the ages of the attackers, the Islamists, ranged from 17 to 22. Remember, they had the survivors of the Bataclan. They revealed how they were building their lives. And they had like a pro-Hamas little event in the Bataclan. Unbelievable. So it is a real issue. How sad is that? They can’t even people can’t even go to Christmas markets because of all of this. And this is like something that people who are they’re told that they need to, you know, kind of keep an eye out when they’re at these Christmas markets that people used to be able to go to take their families to. A lot of people go to Europe around Christmas because they want to, you know, they want to walk in like a fairytale looking village and look at Christmas stuff and drink mulled cider and hot chocolate. That’s what they want to do. I mean, it looks grand. But now they’ve got to watch out for terrorists because of the EU’s open borders policy. It’s just sickening. I’m telling you now, speaking of Christmas stuff, this was here in the United States. No, sorry. This was in London. So this was at the Ritz in Mayfair. They had a bunch of activists take bags of manure to, so the Ritz has, they have this like big Christmas tree that they put up and it’s used in all their marketing materials and all this stuff. And they decided, these people decided to dump bags of manure under their Christmas tree in a protest, I’m reading the materials, in a protest against the obscenely wealthy. And the security guards look rather amused. They pulled these people gathered around the tree at the Ritz in Mayfair, rural ritzy part of London. They pulled out three plastic bags, emptied them into the ground. It was in the middle of the day. And their group is called Take Back Power. And it’s a bunch of mostly illiterate people who can’t do math. And they had signs that said, tax the rich to fix Britain. This was so stupid. And then they dumped manure all over this very nice rug, all right by their nice big tree. And then they said outside and said, equality is something tax the rich. And there are all these like these people could be working in the middle of a day and it was a weekday. This is crazy. They said that it’s about the billionaires and the corporations. They don’t care. Oh, my gosh. It’s all the same stuff from these Marxists. All the same stuff. Doing this in front of a Christmas tree. I just, I don’t know. These people. It’s like a bunch of Greta Thunberg level academics here. I don’t know. It’s… Can we just have like one normal holiday season? Is that too much to ask? Apparently it is. Good night. Is it too much to ask? That’s all I’m asking. Now in Canada… A Canadian pastor, another trans story, was arrested for refusing a court order apology for protesting drag queen events at the public library. And the guy wasn’t being like a jerk about it either. I mean, it just was what it was. He was they said, you’re not you. Apparently you’re they tried to say that him protesting drag queen story hour at the public library was critical harassment for some reason. I mean, he just was peacefully protesting. He was assaulted by a bunch of twinks. who were trying to get kids into their crazy, draggy sex cult, I guess. And he, I mean, literally just, he stands out with a sign and he talks to people. Apparently that’s criminal harassment. Wow. So he’s been convicted because he did not want to be quiet about deviant sexuality. Trans adult people, like putting up these events for kids. And they wanted him to apologize. He can’t get now these people, these groomers can get by kids, but he can’t get within 300 feet of a of a trans event now. And he didn’t do anything other than merely protest. But Canada doesn’t recognize free speech. See, they don’t have they don’t have any of that. I mean, Canada, Britain, I mean, my gosh, in Britain, you can get arrested for saying something that hurts someone’s feelings. No, heaven forbid. That’s why freedom of speech is so incredibly important. I wanted to actually play a nice story for you. We have this story of this guy. I was going to play this yesterday, and I saved it for today. Actually, I have two stories. Let me do two of them. First off, let’s do this one. This is cut 28. So I have two feel good in two different ways stories. So we hear a lot of things about people getting assaulted and harassed and things on the subway. Cut 28. So on the subway, this is in New York City. One man was harassing a passenger for no reason. And another man was done with it and was not having it. Watch this.
SPEAKER 31 :
He’s not worried about you. He’s smiling, living his life. You want to bother him? Pick on somebody that’s like that. I’m like that. Ask me why I’m smiling at you. Ha ha ha ha. I’m smiling at you. Ask me that. You want to ask somebody that’s not doing shit? Mind of his business. Ask me. I’m like that. No, no, you threatening him. I seen that.
SPEAKER 25 :
I’m like that. Ask me.
SPEAKER 31 :
Ask me why I’m smiling at you like that. Ask me why I’m smiling at you like that. Why? You pick and choose your battles. He was minding his business, not even paying you no fucking mind. You’s a. You’s a. And I hope you know that.
SPEAKER 1 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 31 :
Exactly.
SPEAKER 30 :
I love this dude. I love it. When he stood up and goes, yeah, I’m like that. I’m like, oh, oh my gosh. And that dude could not, he was like trying to meld into the door to get away from this dude. This is what happens when you push back. Good on that man. Man, I would love to know his name. That man, he deserves a national like handshake for that. That’s a man doing his thing, standing up. Because you can see the camera stand up because he’s holding it. And he’s like, yeah. He’s like, ask me about that. And then he goes, I’m like that. And the camera stood up. You’re like, oh my gosh. Did you see that guy? He got closer to the door. He was trying to like Homer Simpson into a bush. You know that meme where Homer disappears? That’s what he was trying to do. Gosh, that just gave me the warm fuzzies, right? I’m just all about the Christmas season. That guy is amazing. Whoever that dude is, you are the bomb. You’re awesome. Now, here’s another really great story. I think we have this one. This is… It was this guy in Walmart. I think we have, I really hope we have this one. This was an amazing story that I think, where did I first see? I think it was in a Walmart or it was a store. Let me pull this up. He is an army. Where did I see this? Did I see this on X or Instagram first? I can’t remember. But anyway, this elderly veteran, he, I don’t know where the story, it’s a supermarket. So he’s in Michigan, Ed Bombas. And Sometimes I think, you know, these things seem exploitative, but then I also think it’s good for people to see other people doing good in a society where it seems that the clicks go to the train wrecks, the clicks go to the evil. So it’s nice to see good, you know, even though it’s being recorded. So this guy who set up, they found this guy who’s an 88-year-old veteran. He ended up losing his pension because he worked for an auto manufacturer. They went bankrupt and they took his pension. And he his story is unbelievable. And he has to work full time. He has to work, you know, a lot more than the people on the food stamps were working. You know, we played that cut where they’re like, we don’t want to work four hours a day, Monday through Friday, 80 hours a month. What this guy works that a week. So he can afford to live because he lost his pension when the I can. And he says in the video when they went bankrupt and organizers put up. a GoFundMe and they raised over a million dollars for him to retire. And they’re helping him get it into a trust as well so he can be secure. And it is unbelievable. Watch this video because right now, it’s at 1.5 million. This is amazing. Watch this video. This is the best way to end the day. Watch this.
SPEAKER 22 :
You said that you lost your pension? Yes, sir, I did. I was in the army back in 66. So you’re a veteran too? Yes. The thing that hurt me the most was my wife was real sick. And when they took the pension, they also took the health care coverage and all but $10,000 of my life insurance. So I sold the house, sold the property I had, and we made it through. My wife died seven years ago. Since then, I’ve been trying to reestablish myself. And you’re working here how many days a week? I work five days a week, eight hours a day. And you do that because you have to? Yeah, I don’t have enough income. What’s your dream? To live somewhat for life. What are you hoping for?
SPEAKER 23 :
I’d like to share your story and try and get people to help you retire. Oh, thank you. Of course. You’re amazing.
SPEAKER 30 :
He gave him a $400 tip on the spot.
SPEAKER 23 :
I’m going to give you $400 here as a tip. Of course. You’re amazing, man. Of course.
SPEAKER 30 :
It started really organically when the guy was at the checkout. he asked, Mr. Bombas was there in the background and he said, hey, can I just get help scanning this? And he came over and then he started asking him questions and the guy was very reluctant at first. He was just, you know, I helped you, I’m doing my job and he didn’t really want. And then the guy kind of was getting more, you know, just talking to him in a real friendly way and then he got the rest of the story. And he didn’t ask for anything. He just, you know, was explaining and he didn’t get emotional until he talked about his wife. And the fact that, you know, he’s a veteran, who has to work that much at 88 years old and it’s through no fault of his own earlier in the video he explains how the auto manufacturer that he worked for they went bankrupt and uh they that’s i mean a lot of employees can’t if you remember at the time a lot of employees lost their pensions and he was one of them and wasn’t it uh was it gm i can’t remember they got a big bailout it was one of the ones that got a big bailout and they still took these people’s pensions so um Unbelievable. None of those people should be earning money until those pensions are fulfilled. Their contracts are honored, my estimation. But this is amazing. So they’re getting a trust set up for this guy as well. So he’s able to manage this windfall. He’s going to have like probably when all said and done, he’s going to have it already exceeded the goal and it’s still going. So that’s amazing.
SPEAKER 32 :
Picture this. You’re on a date. The conversation is flowing. The food is amazing. And then bad breath happens. And suddenly you’re leaning back instead of leaning in. Your confidence, gone.
