Israeli hostages are released and the war stops in Gaza, but the people who screamed about ending genocide are suddenly silent. Biden administration figures call the Middle East deal bittersweet because they think they deserve the credit.

and build a consensus is not possible until we get the government operating again we stopped holding we step and so we stopped i'm stuck it very upset about that we stopped holding the american people hostage for these ridiculous political games people see what's going on here we should not have border patrol agents not paid right now because chuck schumer was to pay political games to cover his tail I don't know how much more simply to say that. And every single one of you know that's exactly what's going on. I don't like being mad, Mike. I want to be happy. I want to be the happy warrior, but I am so upset about this. God bless America. We're done. Thanks.

SPEAKER 19 : 1:05

Nine votes now. Nine votes now. So we're still in a shutdown. That's the latest. That's what you need to know. We're still in the shutdown. Democrat shutdown. That's right. That's right. Thank you. The Democrat shutdown. Welcome to the program, Dana Lash, with you. So they've had their, I don't know when they were having the 10th vote, but had the 9th vote and were still not, because they think that they're going to hold out for something. I don't know what they think they're going to hold out for, but it's not going to work. It's been very clear there's absolutely no reason why they cannot just vote for what they have passed and voted. I'm so damn tired of talking about it, too. I know you guys are tired of hearing about it. This is the crazy thing. And this I mean, ultimately, what I think the right needs to be very careful. Republicans need to be very careful because there's going to be a lot of opportunities to do things to take. You know, we're talking about the tariffs with paying like the WIC stuff and all that. You also want to be careful in that you don't give the left any talking points about... Because they are desperately looking for something coming up for their No Kings thing. They're still having that, right? The No Kings thing this weekend? Yeah. So we want to be careful with all of that stuff. Now, that being said, this... Issue of people getting paid, etc. All of that comes... I mean, this is... I told you guys this the last time we had this fight, that we were going to be doing this again coming up in fall. We would be doing it again coming up in fall, and here we are. And we're going to have to do it again in another three months. I'm so sorry, but we are. Because they just cannot... pass a budget. Now, one of the other issues with this is that right now, Republicans are enjoying polling that really absolves them of any sort of blame because it's true. It's not there. I mean, it really isn't there. It's not their shutdown, but that's not going to last forever. You know how it is when voters get upset about When they're upset, they're going to start blaming. They're going to start looking for more places to place blame. And that's going to start extending to some GOP. But as long as GOP keep the messaging on this, I think that they're going to be able to insulate themselves. But there is a new poll that's out. And it is, I'm pulling this up right now for you. And this has been two weeks now that we've been doing this. Associated Press, who's winning the blame game over the shutdown? Here's what a new AP and ORC poll shows. And now 6 and 10, they're saying that It's a it's starting to grow and that Republicans are earning a bit of responsibility for the shutdown. Now, the majority is still Democrats. Fifty four percent, according to this Associated Press N.O.R.C. Center for Public Affairs Research Survey. They say that 54 percent blame Democrats in Congress. But what's growing are the number of U.S. adults who are now starting to give some of that blame to Republicans. And this is why messaging, we've got to be so careful. We have to be so careful with this. Very careful. So this is one of the things we're going to be talking about today. So welcome to the radio show. We don't have video today because Juan's not in. And Juan is our video guy extraordinaire. So we have no way, unfortunately, to do video for the radio program. And we're going to come back to this with the shutdown. There's just a bunch of other stuff to get through. But I'm just warning you on this. The survey that's coming out, this, I mean, they're wanting... The tax credits, they're wanting a trillion in additional spending, the whole nine yards. So this... And by the way, that, I think, anger at the inaction, this is kind of starting to grow a little bit with independence. That's kind of where it's really starting to tick up. So they've really, really got to get on the messaging with this. So that's... That's one of the things we're keeping our eye on. And by the way, as soon as we're able to get the other stream up for audio, we'll make sure that we let you guys know that. But again, apologies on that. Unfortunately, it's what we got for you today. Some of the other stuff as well that we're juggling here and we're keeping an eye on. Daggers are out for John Fetterman. You knew this was coming. I think, Kane, did we joke about this actually? Like a A few weeks ago, we were like, man, when are they going to come for Fetterman? I swear, I think we were talking about that. Now, we need to talk about winning the lottery, Kane, since that came true. Democrats, via Axios, they came out with a story that they're plotting to go after Fetterman. They want to go after Fetterman. The scoop is that they're maneuvering to... They're looking to primary him. Now, the... Fetterman flipped that Republican seat. He's very, very popular with Pennsylvanian voters. And it is... I mean, he's very popular with them. I don't think that they're going to be able to do that. And I think it'll probably cost them some influence to try. Because he's got... I mean, he's very popular with independents. He's very popular with... I mean, Democrats and Republicans even find him. I want to be careful, not inoffensive, but not because they, you know, they find him offensive. They they they think that he's, you know, kind of one of the good ones, so to speak. This is really dumb. Considering what Democrats are doing, by the way, in Virginia, this is really stupid. That Democrats would consider doing this. This is the problem with this party. They absolutely just throw out every single common sense, like moderate, etc. They throw all of this out. They always go after these moderates. Every time. So, now... I don't know who they're going to get to primary him. Like I said, he's super popular. But all of the challengers are already trying to go at him. I mean, it's pretty... He's got a couple of years on the clock still in the seat. But they're already trying to drum up potential challengers. And... I don't know. Remember how hard they defended him when he had his stroke in 2022? And then he wasn't even able to campaign. Remember how it was just like there was only one guy campaigning? It was Oz that was campaigning at the time. And Oz lost. I think I think it would have been a different outcome if an actual Republican, an actual conservative had been running instead of Oz. But honestly, I I don't I Federman may be better than Oz. I think that, you know, people got lucky, to be honest with it. I think people got lucky because Oz is I mean. I get really I like American born people in Congress. That's just me. And I don't care how it sounds. That's just me. I like people born in the United States in high in elected positions in our government. That's it. So I think we kind of we got lucky with that. But Democrats, because he's a moderate. He's a moderate. They got to go after him. They've run out every single moderate, every single moderate. Like, for instance, listen to this. This is one of the reasons why they hate him. Cut 21 cane. Check this out.

that's why shutting the government is is really what the democratic party wants to do and i follow country then party and it's the wrong thing for the country in a period of chaos i refuse to vote to shut our government down i absolutely would love to have I would love to have a conversation about extending the tax credits for health care. Absolutely. But I would remind everybody, too, this was designed by the Democratic Party to expire at the end of the year. This is not something taken from by the Republicans. They were designed to expire.

SPEAKER 19 : 10:10

Yeah, they were. I mean, he's explaining it right there. Cut 22. He's telling on his own party. This is why they're mad at him. But he's being honest with the voters. I mean, what's more important? You know, being honest with the voters or kissing butt with your party? I think Democrats are letting that be known. Listen to this. Cut 22.

SPEAKER 04 : 10:27

That's why that's why shutting the government is is really what the Democratic Party wants to do. And I follow country then party. And it's the wrong thing for the country in a period of chaos. I refuse to vote to shut our government down. I absolutely would love to have. I would love to have a conversation about extending the tax credits for health care. Absolutely. But I would remind everybody, too, this was designed by the Democratic Party to expire at the end of the year. This is not something taken from by the Republicans. They were designed to expire. Now let's have a conversation to extend it and not shut our government down.

SPEAKER 19 : 11:11

He's being honest about it. He's being honest about it. Just got to say. Yeah. So I I don't know how this is going to I don't know how this is going to work out.

SPEAKER 15 : 13:28

It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

SPEAKER 19 : 13:30

I gotta be honest, this seems like a big problem. PayPal's crypto partner minted a whopping $300 trillion worth of stablecoins in what it called a technical error. Why can't these technical errors ever happen to me? Why are we always left out, Cain? I mean, that would be great. There aren't even enough dollars in global circulation, notes CNBC, to back it. That would literally require, not theoretically, but really require more than double of the world's estimated total GDP. It's insane. And they said Paxos mistakenly minted the stable coins as part of an internal transfer before it then immediately identified the error and burned off the excess PYUSD. That's what they said in a social media statement. That makes me... See, this is why people... question not like crypto i've got to be honest with you it's why this stuff like this i'm just saying just saying uh this 75 percent americans report soaring prices now granted this is from the guardian which is a british turd of a publication but inflation it's still a reality well we're not going to biden this stuff there's still pessimism about the economy and honestly i'm And regardless of, you know, who they voted for on the right, people are pretty divided as to whether or not, you know, the economy is going to hold. Now, the president says that there's virtually no inflation. There are there is some. There's a new Harris poll showing that Americans are still reporting soaring inflation. A lot of people are pretty pessimistic about the economy. I know Kane saying let Trump cook. Are you going to say what? What? What?

SPEAKER 15 : 15:13

I think what they're mistaking are these companies responding to what they believe the tariffs will do. And so companies are trying to protect themselves. Customers may see a little increase in price, but we're talking about actual inflation. It's not really there. It's way down.

SPEAKER 19 : 15:31

There are certain things that are more. That is for sure. And and some of it is because, I mean, we really could, like, for instance, construction costs, Jiminy Christmas. But that's also because we don't have a lot of those resources here domestically. And that's a huge problem with it. But it's going to be harder to create them domestically if we can't get a handle on the pricing. You know, Hegseth, his plane made an emergency landing in the UK. I've never heard. I'm sure this happens on planes, but I've never heard about it before. They had a crack in the windshield. That seems like a problem. There was a crack in the aircraft's windscreen. It was a Boeing C-32A, military version of the 757. It was going to D.C. from Brussels because he was attending NATO meetings. They declared an emergency over the Atlantic Ocean and they ended up having to land briefly at The Milden, RAF Milden Hall, a Royal Air Force station in Suffolk, Suffolk, England, excuse me. And even though it's RAF, it supports a lot of USAF operations. So they, not a big deal. They're like, not a big deal. Don't nobody freak out. It's not the end of the world. It's just sometimes this happens. Lifting weights is kind of like taking probiotics, says this headline that looks suspiciously like it was written by Kane. Resistance training may yield an unexpected side effect, a healthier gut. Well, you know what? Working out just generally, Yeah. And a washing machine for humans that rinses your entire body inside of a giant pod and even plays movies for you while you wait. We are living in a WALL-E world. No, I'm not getting in a washing pod. That's just, it's called a shower. You know what this is? It's a soup capsule. This looks gross. I just, you sit in it and then it sprays. Does it like part your backside to wash you there too? Like when, where does it stop? Does it tweet? I mean, I'm not I wouldn't be surprised.

the dana show podcast your fast funny and informative news companion for those always on the move subscribe on youtube apple or wherever you get your podcasts are you saying that senator schumer should not be worried about a primary challenge from you i mean all right no let me jump in on this one let me this is see this is what we're talking about that's exactly what we're talking about you have a country that is falling apart

SPEAKER 08 : 19:45

We're at a housing crisis, a health care crisis, an education crisis, massive income and wealth inequality. A corrupt campaign finances them. And the media says, oh, you're going to run. What are you going to run for? Nobody cares. Nobody cares.

SPEAKER 21 : 19:59

There's the House Speaker and President Trump and the Vice President saying it.

SPEAKER 08 : 20:02

Pardon? Of course, they're saying it to deflect attention away from the real issue. Exactly. And here, let me tell you what the real issue is. Let's see if CNN talks about it. We're living in the richest country in the history of the world, right? Yeah, you have three houses. All right, you tell me why we're the only nation not to guarantee health care to all people. The only nation not to guarantee paid family and medical leave. Why we have a $7.25 an hour minimum wage. Why we have 800,000 people sleeping out on the street. Why we have a president who denies the reality of climate change. Why we have oligarchs on top who have more and more power every day. Let's talk about that issue.

SPEAKER 19 : 20:39

You are an oligarch, dude. You've got three houses. Kane, have you ever been invited to go and visit Bernie Sanders' one of his three homes?

SPEAKER 15 : 20:47

Not a one of them.

SPEAKER 19 : 20:48

Really?

SPEAKER 15 : 20:48

Not a one.

SPEAKER 19 : 20:49

I haven't either. That's kind of weird. I mean, you know, because he says he's not an oligarch, but he's got houses like an oligarch has. And... he's i mean he's got some nice properties he's got a little lakeside holiday home in vermont oh it's right there on the lake he's got the uh burlington colonial home and it's their primary residence that he's got the row house in dc he paid cash for his third house yeah like sweet sweet cash These aren't like little bitty properties either.

SPEAKER 15 : 21:26

He's never had a private sector job in his life. Where does all his money come from?

SPEAKER 19 : 21:31

That's so crazy. That's a great question. But we can't ask because he says nobody cares about stuff like that. You know, because it's we got health care for the old people that they ruined. And that's why we're even talking about this in the first place. I'm telling you. So welcome again back to the program. I didn't last with you. We're at the bottom of this first hour. And this they they were. Why were they so hysterical? I mean, they were screaming. Both of them were screaming. She's the younger female version of him. She really is the younger female version of him. I was thinking about this in context of media. Did you guys read about NBC? They're having 150 layoffs. They're gutting black, Latino, Asian-American and LGBTQ plus. They put the plus there because there's like a host of letters and numbers that fall. I don't even know what we talked about that yesterday. The verticals focused on those issues. But now, apparently, this is the headline and this is from The Wrap. It says that it's a broader shift in media away from diversity efforts. That's not what it is. Newsrooms, for people to argue that newsrooms weren't already diverse, I think you're a racist if you are arguing that newsrooms weren't diverse before the alphabet, namely the T-Mafia. You know what I mean? If you did not realize that there was already a diverse representation of people in the news, then you are a racist because you ignored them. You ignored and marginalized them and only began really paying attention when it became trendy. And that's the truth of it. This wasn't about diversity. This was about critical race theory. And critical race theory, you can say DEI, all of it is really critical race theory. DEI is basically a subset of CRT. I've written and talked about CRT for a good night, like 15 years now. And to recap critical race theory, in fact, you guys remember way back, this was right about the time that Andrew Breitbart passed away. And maybe you guys remember Do you remember the video that he had talked about when it was Barack Obama hugging somebody? You guys remember that? There was this video. I was on CNN about it. I had to go out when I worked for Andrew at the time. I was the editor of Big Journalism before everything got combined. They were able to obtain this video of Barack Obama on campus. And he was friends and very close with this professor named Derrick Bell. And this is when he was a law student and it was at Harvard, Harvard Law. And he had spoken, there was a video that we had where he was in, he was at a rally there and he had given him a hug and he had, they had done, spoken in defense of him and all this stuff. And this was in 1990, Obama spoke in support of Bell at this, they had a protest at Harvard and they were demanding diversity on the faculty. Now, all of this whole protest was started By this Derek Bell. Now, who is Derek Bell? Derek Bell is one of the biggest proponents of critical race theory in the United States. And critical race theory comes from Marxism. It's a tenant of Marxism, Frankfurt School of Marxism. I mean, it is designed to either supplant or work parallel to economics in terms of dividing the classes. So where economic Marxism would focus on dividing people by finances, income, etc., Critical race theory is all about dividing by race. And intersectionality, where you check off all these boxes of things that you believe have been woefully done wrong to you, whether it's race or gender or whatever, when you have all of these things, that's what intersectionality is. That is a phrase from critical race theory. And critical race theory, they are the people who promoted race as a social construct. And at the very heart of critical race theory is the idea of systemic racism. That is like the core belief of CRT. Now, why is that? The goal of CRT is to destabilize societies. Not just with economic means as with what most people normally think of Marxist narrative warfare, but critical race theory is about destabilizing societies amongst people socially promoting actual – I mean literally promoting segregation. That's why it's so – equity instead of equality, that's from critical race theory. DEI is just an action of critical race theory. That lends itself to the hiring practices and the changing of your employee structure. So back to the point, the video where Barack Obama was hugging Derrick Bell, One of the reasons that we came out with that was because we were talking about, this is back in 2012, critical race theory. It was like the last video that Andrew had published. And it was the last story rollout that he directed before he passed away. And it was about trying to inform people about critical race theory and warning them of what was to come. And we were out there warning people about this and warning this. You know, Derrick Bell started this at Harvard and it went from there. And it was Barack Obama that helped mainstream it amongst the students. So that's why it was so incredibly important. And a lot of people didn't really understand it at the time. A lot of people came out and defended him in 2012 when we started our expose of this. So the whole point is this critical race theory. This is what they were using. As a means to determine hiring in newsrooms. And you guys saw this. You guys saw everything. Whether it was a school board fight. You guys saw all of this. All of this unfolded. All of it unfolded. And it was all because you had Derrick Bell. Who was a Marxist. Barack Obama who was a Marxist. And Obama mainstreamed it amongst the student body. And to this point with these newsrooms. So the newsrooms, they were all about trying to... They wanted to really promote stories through that CRT lens. And so this is where you get into the hiring of people who maybe didn't have the resume or the merit. But that's where intersectionality, remember the CRT term, that's where the intersectionality comes in. If you were black, if you were gay, if you were lesbian, if you were trans, if you were whatever. The more of those intersectional boxes that you could check, that was a substitute in the context of critical race theory. That is a substitute for merit. And so that's how a lot of these hiring practices went. So now here we are today. NBC News is eliminating its teams that specifically only covered those issues. You realize that they had like a handful of staffers for specifically alphabet plus issues. Do you really need that many staff? What in the world? I mean, you have news and then you have things that you're trying to make news. So I think that their insistence at trying to explain that this is a shift away from quote unquote diversity efforts. This is a shift away from propaganda. So the NBC laying off 150 people, that's pretty big. But that's not all. They also have, in addition to that, you have the Los Angeles Times. Same thing. They're trying to divert, well, undiversify, I guess you could say. The media is changing. And then, of course, you have the CBS thing. You have the CBS thing where they acquired the free press. And by the way, those are the people and I'll talk about this more. That's the entity with which I'm doing the debate coming up after the election. I'm debating Alan Dershowitz in Chicago on gun control and the free press and Barry Weiss. She's moderating the free press is hosting it. You know, CBS acquired the CBS Paramount acquired them and a major deal. And she's going to be heading up the news and political department at CBS. And a lot of people in the media are livid. There are all the all those old school lefties that were really trying to incorporate CRT into every aspect of the newsroom. It affected the story. I mean, you've got to realize critical race theory affected everything from how police staffed. to the stories that you watched on TV, to the things that you read online, the movies that you watched, the music you listened to. It kicked off the behavioral credit thing that they were trying to do with banks. I mean, this literally spawned, since 2012, a host of things. And now it's changing in the media because the media realizes the way that they were doing it is not working anymore. And this is a huge shift in media. And remember, Barry Weiss was run out of The New York Times. And what's funny is she checks all these these intersectional boxes. Right. She's a lesbian. She's a woman. She's Jewish. You would think that that would be considered a protected class with the left. But all of those intersectional boxes are rendered irrelevant. If you are not a far left progressive, it's not even good enough to be an independent. It's not even good enough, as you can see with John Fetterman to be a moderate. If you are not far left, you are persona non grata. Intersectionality is no longer applicable to you. So this is changing, and this is going to be a huge shift in the media environment. Coming up, a documentary revealing a government cover-up of non-human intelligence is set for release. You guys know, got to talk about the aliens. And also, I'm going to tell you something. That story about the Politico texts... We discussed it yesterday. Lorraine has a deep dive on it right now over at Substack. This is just the beginning. And I want to warn people, this is a sign of some really bad stuff that is bubbling up. And I think people need to be honest and they need to have a real discussion about this or we're going to be dealing with some problems here real soon. And it's not going to be problems of our creation. So apparently we have to stop falling for the whole higher thread counting because it doesn't necessarily mean better sheets. That's fake news apparently. It's like believing that you use like 10% of your brain. So the secret isn't thread count, it's thread quality. And this is where Bull & Branch has won a lot of folks over at yours truly. They use the best organic cotton. End of. I mean these are sheets that feel incredible like the moment you take them out of the box. So the first night that you put them on, you can tell right away that they're softer, they're cooler, and they have a great weight. It's like kind of having a five-star hotel room in your own house. And I'll tell you something else. The sheets get better every time that you've washed them. I've washed mine countless times and they just keep getting softer. You can't do that with cheap sheets because they totally fall apart. Bowl and branch, they get more luxurious. So you'll sleep better and you're kind of kind of feel like a spoiled brat, but it's okay. I'm not going to go back to the old sheets. Once you try them, you're not going to either. So if you're ready to upgrade your sleep, and you should, visit bowlandbranch.com slash danashow because there you'll get 15% off your first set plus free shipping.

I think that we should have more Republicans on the show, but they don't want to come on. They're scared of us. It's like Marjorie Taylor Greene says that she finds the Republican men afraid of powerful women. Well, that may be true of all the political persuasions. But if they would come on this show, they can explain to us what they're trying to do to this.

SPEAKER 19 : 34:48

Well, that's not true. I've guest hosted it twice now. I've guest hosted The View before. We're not afraid to come on. It's just they don't invite a lot of Republicans on. That's the problem. The problem is, is that they will only allow one Republican to have the seat and then everybody else has to be a progressive. That's the issue. They want to control and make sure that progressives always outnumber conservatives by like four to one. So I know for a fact because I've been there. So what Joy Behar is saying is a straight up lie. They're the ones who were chicken. They're the chickens in all this. And that's just the truth of it. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. We're rolling towards the second hour. And a couple of things to discuss. And I also understand if a lot of people don't pay attention to some of this stuff. Because a lot of it is just inter-party jostling. And I think that one of the big issues that we're going to have to discuss, and if you guys don't think it's a problem, I'm here to tell you it is. And rarely do I ever kind of sound an alarm on stuff that happens within the GOP. I think the last time that I did, it was... Actually, right around Parkland, when there were a lot of Republicans that were about to cave on a universal background check bill. And that's actually still remains my biggest. I like Marco Rubio, secretary of state. But I also remember when he caved on stage and agreed to red flag laws and universal background checks right in front of my eyes. And at that time, there were a couple of bills in committee. And the last time I sounded the alarm about stuff on the left or on the right was that saying, warning people, look, there are some Republicans that are literally getting ready right now to pass this stuff out of committee. And if they do, they're going to get it passed. And it's a huge issue. There's another huge issue. There are you. Maybe you hear the phrase the woke right. And it does exist because there are people who make idols of race and ethnicities, just like you see on the left. It is a very real thing. And I think that these texts that Politico obtained and published, this is just a drop in the bucket. And this is just the entry into a broader conversation that we absolutely have to have about what it means when you lose the conservative principle because you're drowning in the populism. We're going to talk about that coming up. You don't want to miss it. Stick with us. for your cell phone service isn't going towards far left stuff.

SPEAKER 25 : 38:37

J.D. Vance dismissed the messages as just a college group chat. Can you imagine if it was a group of people on the left saying some things? If he'd say the same thing, a college group chat? Does J.D. Vance really think glorifying Hitler and gas chambers is justice?

SPEAKER 19 : 39:00

Good grief. So this is all about the politico text thing, which Democrats are. There's a there's a couple of angles with this. I want you to buckle up and get cozy. I'm not totally not kidding. Buggle up and get cozy, guys. Dana Lash here with you. The chat is at Rumble. Juan is out today, so we don't have the resources to bring you video when he is out. So send all questions to the first. Also, but you can get the chats at Rumble, though. These texts, there is a great piece. If you want background on this, Those of you who are subscribers to my Substack chapter and verse, a contributor and the moderator of the chat, Lorraine, has a really great deep dive on it. And if you have not read, just so you can get an idea of what it is, first, what is it, and then why does it matter? So to start with, Politico had this yesterday. They had this hit piece yesterday. And they published a bunch of a bunch of these text messages. Now, these are people that are members of the Young Republican National Federation. They're all young professional Republicans. Some of them are in their 30s. They got a couple of 40 year olds in there. So young is doing some heavy lifting in some respects. They're grown ass adults. There were 2,900 pages of a leaked Telegram message group. And they said it was just, well, a lot of the texts which were published, I mean, they're bad. They look bad. Now, I think looking at them, because Politico wanted to strip the context away, Looking at them, it looks like it's a bunch of racist anti-Semites, racist, misogynistic anti-Semites. Like some of the some of the texts that they had that they had put in there were they said texts like I love Hitler or everyone that votes no is going to the gas chamber. I'm ready to watch people burn now. Oh, he hates the Jews. These are some of the texts. They love the watermelon people. These are the things that were in here. it's bad. I mean, I can't even say some of the other stuff in there. They were talking about rape and everything else. There's a lot of stuff in there. Now, again, there's going to be a lot of nuances here, so buckle up. This, I think, is a combination of a bunch of stuff. First off, I don't know everybody in this group. There were a lot of people in it. Do I think some of them are probably racist or some of them are probably whatever? Probably. Are some of them in just trying to be edgy or trying to engage or participate in, you know, dark or humor noir? Or are they being sarcastic? Yeah, sure. Here's the thing, though. And I mentioned this yesterday. This is not a civil liberties issue. When you are a professional, and again, I think the word young in this is doing some heavy lifting because when you're 38, I'm sorry, but you're young if the person who's describing you as young as 80. When you are a grown adult and you are a professional and you are engaging in an activity that is an extension of your profession, it is smart if you act professional. That's the whole point of this. It's smart if you act professional. It's smart to not put stuff that you have to defend into a text group. Because there is nothing, people, nothing that stays quiet. If you put it out into the ether of the internet, then it's going to stay out there. Nothing stays quiet. So that's number one. Number two is there is a real problem with some of the stuff bubbling up on the right. And anyone who says that there isn't is not in the trench. I'm sorry, but you are not. And I don't really mean that I'm sorry. I'm not going to apologize for anyone not noticing it. It is a real thing. I think it's stupid to compare it to the Jay Jones thing. Let me tell you something about what Schumer is trying to argue here. They are trying to justify Jay Jones, the Democrat who's running for attorney general in Virginia, which really has nothing to do with us. But they desperately need something to justify their refusal to condemn him. Jay Jones, if you remember, was talking about another delegate saying that he wanted to kill him and then talking about shooting the guy's kids while his wife watched them die in her arms. That's a serious thing. That's not dark humor. It's not sarcasm. It's not any of that. That is him being a nut job, murderous, crazy person. Jay Jones has a major problem with anger. And he's got a repeat behavioral pattern of this. So that's fact. Democrats never condemn. They never condemn when they should. And this is why they lose. But it's not comparable to this. The only way that it's comparable to this is if Republicans don't clean up their own. Like I said, there's a problem with this. Some of you guys have no idea what's coming. You have no idea. Whenever I post, whenever I have on a Jewish guest on my program, whenever I post anything about Israel, you guys would not believe the comments that I get. Sure, some of them are bots, but a lot of them aren't. Some of the comments I've shown publicly, some I've literally had to refer to law enforcement. It is that bad. I don't think you realize it. I have seen it real life here in my town. I have literally had to end associations with people because of it. They are no different to me than the left. They are collectivists. Let's be really clear about this. The people who behave like this, you should not feel at all bad in saying that your behavior is garbage and your words are garbage because they're not like you. They're not like you because they're not conservative. They're not like you because they are not moored by the same principles that you are moored by. They are Derrick Bell creations. CRT creations. They make idols of race. They make idols of ethnicities. They make idols of religious affiliations. Just like the godless left. They are no different than the left. And that is why I have zero problem in calling it out. Because they are not like you and there is no uniting with people who do this. I don't unite with people who demonstrate leftist behavior at all. And that's what this is. It is leftist behavior. And there's no excuse for it. I mean, some of the comments in the texts and then some of the discussion that I've seen online is just staggering. It really is. But it is collectivism. Just like you have people who make idols with Islamism or with trans or anything else. And I'll add this. There are people out there who want to shame you for justifiably criticizing this. They act like you are a gatekeeper. Let me explain something. You're not gatekeeping. You're not passing judgment. You are using your scripturally dictated Christian discernment. You are using your discernment. And it is a good thing to use your discernment to call out people who claim to be on your side. Who put on the veneers of the American flag and everything else. But then they make idols of all of these other ancillary issues, just like the left does. So, yes, it is a good thing to use your Christian discernment to call that out. No one's going to call God a gatekeeper. No one calls good people using discernment gatekeepers. That is what discernment is. And their inability to recognize it just further demonstrates how far from God they are. So let's get that straight right out of the gate. These texts are problematic. I don't want to unify with anybody like this. And a lot of them, I mean, one of the problems, so as you read in the post that Lorraine has on Substack, the reason that these texts got linked in the first place is because you had a douchebag fight. Two douchebags were fighting over influence. In New York. That's what it is. One of them is now at the FCC. In fact, the guy who leaked the text to Politico is reportedly leaked the text to Politico. He's with the FCC. Gavin Wax. Not a great guy. And he's with the FCC right now. Do you want someone like that overseeing or doing anything with free speech within the government that does stuff like this that gets so petty that they fight with other people to the point where they will use the leftist media that they profess to hate as a way to go after people that they claim are on their side? I didn't think so. Again, that's where your discernment is coming into play. It's a power play between two dudes and now it has imperiled the Republican Party. You calling this out, and this is where they're gaslighting you again, you calling this out isn't the problem. Them doing this is the problem. Now, I'll say one, I got, there's more because we got to talk about the J.D. Vance aspect of this. But The media is going crazy over it, of course, and it's going to get bigger and bigger because they need distractions from their refusal. They want to get away from their assassination culture. They want to distract people from it. Do you know why people are fleeing the left in droves? Because the left practices no such discernment. Do not be like the left. Relief factor is a great way to remedy your uncontrollable, for the lack of a better way to put it, inflammatory response.

SPEAKER 15 : 52:15

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

SPEAKER 19 : 52:20

Russians are flooding the streets, singing band songs, calling for Putin to be overthrown. Oh, no one tell Tucker. A large crowd. No, don't. I don't think Tucker saw this. But look at their supermarkets and the trains are on time. A large crowd joined street musicians in Russia as they belted out a song banned for being extremist with lyrics calling for Putin to be overthrown. There were a lot of them in the streets over that, by the way. Also, this. Oh, here we go. No one's policing Yellowstone. Oh, no. A bear jammed traffic in Yellowstone. Oh, my gosh. Busy bears because they're getting ready to hibernate, right? So it's crazy. So they call them bear jams. I have to admit, my first thought was, is this a marmalade that they're selling? And then I was like, are they like playing instruments, the bears?

SPEAKER 15 : 53:07

It's the name of my playlist on Spotify.

SPEAKER 19 : 53:10

I wouldn't say that. You're not a bear, though. I was thinking, yeah. The music is... This is going sideways fast. Okay, so apparently the bears get close to roads and everyone slows down and there's a big traffic jam and they call them bear jams. And so now they're like, well, because the government shut down, we got bear jams everywhere. Bear jams, bear jams. All the bear jams everywhere. So just, you know, FYI. Don't pet them, right? Don't try to feed them because you'll get mauled. No one will help you. Amazon's going to hire 250,000 holiday workers nationwide and pay up to $23 an hour. So delivering them packages. So they said that it's all new regular full and part-time employees will earn an average of $23 per hour with benefits. Seasonal employees can earn more than $19 per hour. So they're anticipating some purchasing. Honestly, it's so much easier than it is fighting traffic and going to the stores. A woman has her dad's ashes tattooed on her arm. Gross. And then realizes something has gone horribly wrong. They said that... Oh, man. This is... Why do people... There's better ways. You know, you can have them turned into a diamond, you know, if it was really important to do so. But she had her, she tattooed her late father's ashes into her arm and then something went horribly wrong with the inking. And the story takes 5,000 paragraphs before it gets into, her body was rejecting it. And so it messed up her tattoo. There you go. It's a British newspaper. No, actually this was Newsweek. Oh, good heavens. A wet microburst damages a Longview business home. What? Sounds like an offensive tactic in dark tide. A wet microburst, which is not a tornado. Okay. What is it? It's to blame for the massive winds that hit a small part of Longview on Sunday. They said it looked like a war zone. So they had wind gusts that peaked at 80, 85 miles per hour. They said it sounded like a freight train, blah, blah, blah, all this stuff. No, it's not a tornado, they said. It sounds just like a tornado sounds like, but don't you dare. It identifies as a wet microburst. So there's wet microburst and dry microburst. And they usually have significant precipitation. And it does not identify as a tornado. Just like, you know, some dudes want to identify as chicks, right? And so you start with a thunderstorm and blah, blah, blah. I stopped caring. We got a lot more on the way. We're going to continue this discussion because now we got the VP in on it. Stick with us.

SPEAKER 24 : 56:46

by focusing on what kids are saying in a group chat, grow up, I'm sorry, focus on the real issues, don't focus on what kids say in group chats. But there's another angle to this that I just have to be honest about. I'm like an old guy at this point, I'm 41 years old, I have three kids. I grew up in a different world, right? Where not most of the stupid things that I did when I was a teenager and a young adult, they're not on the internet. I'm gonna tell my kids, especially my boys, don't put things on the internet. Be careful with what you post. If you put something in a group chat, assume that some scumbag is gonna leak it in an effort to try to cause you harm or cause your family harm. But the reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys. They tell edgy, offensive jokes like that. These aren't kids do. And I really don't want us to grow up in a country where a kid telling a stupid joke, telling a very offensive, stupid joke is caused to ruin their lives. And at some point, we're all going to have to say enough of this BS. We're not going to allow the worst.

SPEAKER 19 : 57:49

So let me interject here. This is Vice President J.D. Vance, and he's wrong. Because he's referring to these texts, these politico texts. First off, I'm not going to live in a country where we call middle-aged people kids as a way to excuse their stupid behavior. I won't tolerate it when they try to do it with Hunter Biden. And I'm not going to tolerate it when we're talking about literal middle-aged politicos who are in their 30s and 40s who run off their mouths in texts. And they're not smart enough to realize that they shouldn't commit some of this stuff to actual writing. We're not going to sit here and pull a Hunter Biden and say that, oh, well, these are kids. They're not kids. They're literally middle age. They're older than some of you listening. I mean, for crying out loud, some of the ages, 38, 37, 38, 39, 40, 42. That is not a kid. You're not a kid at that point. So can we stop infantilizing people as a method of excusing behavior and as a way to dissuade people from using their Christian discernment to call out bad behavior when it is exposed? We're better than this. We're smarter than this because we're not the left. So let's not adopt their tactics. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. We are at the bottom of this second hour and it's a real issue. It is a very, very real issue. And Democrats are trying to weaponize it. This is a thing that is different from the Jay Jones thing. Now, as I mentioned with Jay Jones, I think that he has serious... I think he actually is dangerous. I think Jay Jones probably could physically harm someone. I legitimately do. The... whole issue with jay jones is he was talking about an elected official in a text message and he was talking about actually shooting them and killing them literally like bullets in the head that's those were his words so that's number one number two uh well and then of course don't forget he talked about killing the kids too and uh having the mother watch her children die I mean, that's a big thing. And he was enraged and he has a clear pattern of behavior with us. And he's also running to become the Attorney General of Virginia. A guy who threatens without, he's not joking. He's talking about murdering his opponents. And he wants to be the attorney general of Virginia. That's a major problem. Now, this whole issue of, you know, telling people to grow up and focus on this is a real issue to focus on because the right is getting taken in and not everybody is sorry. Not everybody's bright enough to see it. You all are, but not everyone else is. There is a coordinated effort to divide the right along the lines specifically of Israel. It is a real thing. I've been watching it happen. I haven't even talked about some other issues that we actually have seen personally in our lives that one of the reasons why I'm like, this is a moment, one of those rare moments where you got to kind of hit the button for the siren. Because it's very problematic. And it comes down to people making idols of a million other different things. And that's the issue. With this, don't tell people to grow up because they're using their Christian discernment. The people who need to grow up are the middle-aged people in chats who say this kind of stuff that imperil the whole damn party. That's who needs to grow up. The people who need to grow up are the people who think that that in any way is is passes for wit. That kind of stuff doesn't pass for wit. If you can have an inbred backwards, you know, progressive idiot that says this stuff, then don't don't adopt it and then pretend that it in any way is an example of dark, edgy humor. It's not. There is a clear coordinated effort to divide the right to make it easier for progressives to prevail. And all of the people that scream about AIPAC and they scream about Israel and they talk about this other stuff are completely silent, accommodatingly so, when it concerns the Qataris. And there are actual receipts there, by the way. If you want to compare spending from different groups, I've already looked at all of that. Happy to do so. I'll keep you here for hours. Happy to do so. It's a drop in the bucket for what Islamist groups spend. And they're getting a lot with their money. Because, you know, Tommy Robinson was right. You know, if you have Israel that falls, then you're next. The United States is next. Some people, and they include some young men, some young men that my family actually knows that aren't smart enough to see the strategy in this. You want to have, look at it like a satellite that keeps, that fights the enemies that you don't want to fight away from you. When that satellite is no longer there, they will come for you where you live. That's a fact. So that's the strategy of it. But some of these comments that I've been seeing and I'm not joking. We were just talking about having Josh Hammer on to talk about because he's got a lawsuit and talk about this other stuff. The last time I had Josh Hammer on the show, I actually had to disable comments on Instagram, which I've never done before. Because I literally had people that were saying they. These people are not the right. Let me tell you something about these people that sit here and pretend to love Jesus, and they pretend that they're big old Christians. Oh, they're big old Christians. Let me tell you something. If people want to sit here and talk about Nazism, and they want to flirt around with this, do you realize how many Christians the Nazis murdered? Did you know that Auschwitz's Block 17 held tons, hundreds, thousands of Christian clergy? And they murdered hundreds of them. One of them alone, they murdered over 2,000 Christians. You had millions of Christians that were killed. Thousands of Protestant clergy were murdered because they refused to swear loyalty to Hitler. Christian youth groups were forcibly shuttered, and they were replaced with Hitler Youth. In Poland, they went after the churches, not just Catholics either, guys. So spare me the denominational differences for a moment. I don't care. They went after everybody who had a cross. They confiscated Christian lands. They looted Christian homes and Christian buildings. People who do not know this are ignorant. These people who sit here and act like Christ is king and flirt around with this stuff are blasphemy on feet. They went after Christians who wouldn't take crosses out of hospital rooms. It is the height of ignorance to not realize that Nazism, they didn't just target Jewish people. They targeted Jewish people the most. Yeah. But they went after Christians. They went after Christians zealously. Dietrich Bonhoeffer was one. They tried to accuse him of all kinds of things. He was very vocal against the Nazi euthanasia program. They didn't like his theological writings. They hung him. So all the people who sit here and lament Christian persecution, it's very easy for them to gloss over it when they're flirting with Nazism because they think it's trendy. They think it's edgy. You think it's edgy to flirt around with an ideology that would have crucified Christ again? That's what the Nazis would have done. They went after Christians as zealously as Saul. But they never had their moment on the road to Damascus. This is what people are flirting with. This is the ignorance of some of these individuals. And I think it's abhorrent to excuse it by saying these are these people who are literally and I know the ages of a lot of these people. Some of them are never met personally. You're talking about middle age people. Do you think a 38 year old is a kid? Do you think a 41 year old is a kid? You know, people say, quote unquote, young Republicans. And I think that they believe that that means people who are literally 19 or 20. I hate to burst your bubble, but that's not true. Typically, it means under 40. But there are a couple of people. There are a few people in this group that are a little over 40. A lot of them are in their 30s. These aren't kids. These are grown people with mortgages. I don't want to adopt this behavior of the left. I don't want to pretend that this stuff is edgy. This is the stuff that the left does. And this is why the left is losing. The left is losing because people are tired of idols being made of gender and race. And they're tired of all of these things that are not kingdom related being made holy in the eyes of pop culture. They're tired of it. That's why they're fleeing. Why in God's name? Would anybody on the right consider mimicking this? This is a huge issue. And you have every right to use your discernment. In fact, you have a responsibility to use your discernment to call it out. We're having Josh on again Friday. Part of it is because I want to see what happens in social media again. Like I said, a lot of them are bots, but a lot of them aren't. And make no mistake, China adjusts their algorithms on TikTok to keep showing you this stuff. They adjust their algorithms. They buy bot farms. That's why you see all of these rando accounts on social media, on Facebook too. Instagram. X, particularly. And they get on social media and they try to sway public opinion with the veneer of popularity. And they operate under the logical fallacy that an idea is legitimate because a lot of people believe it. And you know that to not be true. But a lot of people succumb to collectivism. We saw that during COVID. That was proven then. You saw it during Black Lives Matter when you had cops taking knees. It was evident then. And that same principle is still evident now. Something wicked this way comes, folks. Consider this the alarm. It is a lot worse than you realize. And this story with Politico is just the entry discussion. We have a lot more on the way as we roll towards Florida man. Hopefully he can save us. We got a lot more on the way as we move our partners that help bring you the program. It's the folks over at super beats, the company human. They were founded out of the UT health science center, and it was built on real cardiovascular research around blood flow and nitric oxide. Unlike other supplement brands, human is science born, not just science ish. Their products work and you can feel them working. UT athletes have used Super Beats for over a decade, calling it their cheat code for recovery and endurance. And you can use it for the same reason, to support healthy blood pressure and circulation. There are more than 160 college and pro teams that use human products. And so your favorite team probably does too. The Human logo is on the Longhorns field this football season. They've been working very closely with UT and helping to lead the future of cardiovascular health, not just for athletes, but for everyone. And you can pick up Super Beats at your local Walmart and start supporting your cardiovascular health today. Individually wrapped, perfect for on-the-go heart health support. Get on the road to better health with Super Beats from Human.

SPEAKER 15 : 71:48

It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man.

SPEAKER 19 : 71:57

Alright, so first up here. the man alive i'm telling you some of this stuff does not want to load all right i'm having a little bit of a technical issue so first up i think i had this story before but there is an update to it uh i got a couple so this first story do you guys remember the uh 70 year old who apparently urinated all over ten thousand dollars worth of food at a sam's club oh yeah remember that story So I didn't have this information. Patrick Mitchell, when authorities got there to arrest him, he was taking a nap on the lawn furniture that they had displayed in the middle. You know how they have all the stuff in the middle and they have like the lawn furniture out and sometimes they'll set up the umbrellas and all that. He was under an umbrella that was set up or relaxing on a lounge chair. That would have, and apparently there is cell phone images of him doing the deed. And the reason all this is coming out is because he's now going to court over it, finally. Even though he was originally arrested during the summer, but now the court cases, now he's, the litigations, I don't know what there is to litigate. I mean, you're literally videotaped urinating on 188 cans of Vienna sausages. Oh. And 345 cans of spam. Over $10,000. That's a lot. So anyway, just a little update to that story because I thought it was just hysterical that he's lounging on, you know, lounging on furniture. Let's see. A Central Florida teenager was charged because deputies say he faked an abduction that caused an amber alert. Oh, OK. He's a minor, 17 years old. He apparently faked his abduction. They issued a statewide Amber Alert. And then, well, he wasn't abducted. So he's been charged with presenting false evidence, making a false report of a crime, possession of a firearm. He apparently had a handgun and shooting into a conveyance, according to the press release in the Marion County Sheriff's Office. It seems like the family was kind of in on it as well.

SPEAKER 20 : 75:24

into one that's affordable for each and every New Yorker.

SPEAKER 01 : 75:26

Okay, and I want to get to that, absolutely. But do you believe that Hamas should lay down their weapons and leave the leadership in Gaza?

SPEAKER 20 : 75:34

I believe that any future here in New York City is one that we have to make sure that's affordable for all. And as it pertains to Israel and Palestine, that we have to ensure that there is peace. And that is the future that we have to fight for.

SPEAKER 01 : 75:45

But you won't say that Hamas should lay down their arms and give up leadership in Gaza?

SPEAKER 20 : 75:48

I don't really have opinions about the future of Hamas and Israel beyond the question of justice and safety and the fact that anything has to abide by international law. And that applies to Hamas, that applies to the Israeli military, applies to anyone you could ask me about.

SPEAKER 19 : 76:01

Okay. That's not an answer. That isn't an answer. You know, maybe the New York YRs, middle-aged YRs, maybe if they weren't texting so much and doing all of that, they could have maybe put up a bigger fight to this guy because he's leading. He's going to win. He's going to be mayor of New York. Welcome to the program. Dana Lash with you. Top of this third hour. That's Zoran Mamdani, who was on Fox yesterday. I didn't hear a condemnation, Cain, did you? No.

SPEAKER 15 : 76:29

And he's the anti-gun character.

SPEAKER 19 : 76:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER 15 : 76:32

Like, what?

SPEAKER 19 : 76:33

Yeah, he's anti-gun except for Hamas. He doesn't think Hamas should let, you know, guns for Hamas, but not for you. That's the real truth of it. So he repeatedly, repeatedly refused to say that they should. And that's one of the conditions, you know, the peace deal that Trump outlined, the 20 point peace plan. That's one of the conditions of it. It's absolutely one of the conditions of it. And he wouldn't do it. He wouldn't say it. He wouldn't say that he could not even back like back something back up something that simple, which is a real problem. I don't know. And he's leading. He's leading. Is that in New York? The biggest city really in the world. And he's leading there. He's going to be mayor. And it's going to be horrible. It's going to be so bad. And I think people who vote for him should not be barred from leaving. I think people should be forced to live under what they voted for. Is that I mean, call it tyranny. That's why I'm not running for office ever, because I would make that happen. Let people suffer under the indignity of their own vote. Just crazy. But he would not even say could not even couldn't even do that. Just wow. It's pathetic. And he's going to win. It's crazy, but he's going to win. He couldn't even. And that was just like one part of it. I mean, this this was a train wreck interview. And Martha McCallum's not even a difficult interviewer. He is, he's just, he's so bad. Listen to this. Listen to this audio. Somebody 28, this is cut 28 where he, he talks about the tax levels. If he wins, this is what people are going to pay in tax. Listen.

SPEAKER 01 : 78:33

So a lot of individuals in this city pay more than 50% of their income in taxes. When you talk about a fair share, how much more than what is the fair share? What's the number?

SPEAKER 20 : 78:43

I've said that we should increase personal income taxes by 2%.

SPEAKER 01 : 78:47

So 52% is fair? And my point is this. Give up more than half of your income.

SPEAKER 20 : 78:50

If you're making a million dollars in New York City, or more than that, you can afford to pay 2% more. And the reasons you can afford to do so is because that money will be used to better your quality of life as well. Because when I speak to the wealthiest New Yorkers, I hear concerns about the cleanliness of the city, the quality of life in the city, questions of public safety. This money is the money that will be used to deliver on those things so that we can ensure that we have a return on investment for all of the money that we are raising and spending right here.

SPEAKER 19 : 79:17

But wait a minute, though. Like what? So it's already they're already the highest taxed one of the highest taxed people in the nation. Why aren't all of those issues met now? Thank you. If you're already paying, people are paying 52% of their paychecks and taxes already, why isn't it working? You already have Democrat leadership. Now you're going to get even worse Democrat leadership. I wish that would have been the follow-up. Well, wait a minute. Why isn't that working now? Over 52% of your paycheck goes to the government in New York. Why is crime out of control? Why are the streets filled with homeless and drug dealers and everything else? Why are they hemorrhaging high earners? Why isn't it working? He's never been asked that question. I thought I was anticipating waiting for that to be the follow-up and it wasn't. I'm like, okay, well. But why not ask him that question? I feel like that's fair to ask. 52%, can you imagine? This is cut 26. He was asked, well, how does it help affordability? Because, you know, you have companies that are fleeing Manhattan. I don't know what they're going to replace that tax revenue with. Listen.

SPEAKER 01 : 80:46

that JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs have moved major operations to Texas. They've not abandoned New York, but they're hedging their bets on New York because of the increased taxes that they see coming if you become mayor. So when they do that, jobs move out of the city as well. So how does that help affordability if people in the city don't have the jobs that they had that they once had here?

SPEAKER 20 : 81:11

Well, I'm looking to make this a city that every person chooses, whether they're a business leader or they're someone who works for that business. And the key ways of doing that are actually delivering quality of life, public safety and affordability for each and every person. Because what we're seeing right now is we have a broken status quo. We have a corrupt political system and we have the politicians that sustain that. That's really what's on the ballot is whether New Yorkers want to continue that or that they actually want a city they can afford.

SPEAKER 19 : 81:37

Wait, that's not even answering the question. That's a Kamala Harris word salad. He's asked, well, how does it help affordability when corporations that bear a lot of the tax burden, when they're leaving because of your policies? And he's like, well, we're going to do this by making life affordable. Wait, you're going to help affordability from massive corporations fleeing by making life affordable? Do you realize how stupid that sounds? He's a bimbo. He is a nepo baby bimbo. Just reminder, he's never worked ever. He has literally never held a job ever. And he somehow thinks I just I that this is going to his mom directed his failed rap video. Try to be a rapper that didn't work. So now I guess the next best thing is try to run for mayor in New York City. So his idea to help affordability from corporations leaving New York City is to make life affordable. How? Well, the corruption in the government, you know. He sounds like a moronic college freshman. Well, we're like going to make it like the government's corrupt. It's crazy. We're going to make the life affordable. You know, the government's so corrupt. What what are you talking about? Can you just like stop with the platitudes for a second and actually think and give an answer? That is embarrassing. That's not all of it. Last one. Cut 27. What is he going to say about Thatcher's quote on socialism?

SPEAKER 01 : 83:16

The city's already in debt. The governor says no to new taxes. Like Margaret Thatcher said, you know, socialism's great until you run out of everyone else's money, other people's money.

SPEAKER 20 : 83:25

Well, what Andrew Cuomo said is that if he had $959 million, he'd give it to Elon Musk in tax credits because that's exactly what he did. And I bring that up to you to say that it's often a question of whether you have the willingness to spend that money to benefit working class people, not where that money is in the first place.

SPEAKER 19 : 83:40

So what would you cut? I don't think he understands what tax credits are. Tax credits, that's... A reduction in the income tax that you owe. So you're not. No one's paying you. You're keeping more of what you earn.

SPEAKER 15 : 83:58

And it's a common thing for cities to use this to generate and attract in businesses. It's like, look, all right, we're going to give you a one-year or a two-year little stay on the taxes that we would require from businesses so you can get up and running, get these jobs going, and then you'll start having to pay taxes. So tax credits are really a benefit to the businesses because government's already overtaxed us.

SPEAKER 19 : 84:23

There's a financial illiteracy there. And you know why the people who pay more in taxes get bigger tax breaks? That's a cyclical answer, by the way. I'll say it again. Do you know why the people who pay more in taxes get bigger tax breaks? I just answered it. The people who pay more in taxes get bigger tax breaks because they pay more in taxes. Never forget that the top, what is it, like the top 50% pay like 98%, 99%.

SPEAKER 15 : 84:51

More like the top 6% or 7% pays more than 50% of the entire burden.

SPEAKER 19 : 85:00

And then the bottom pay nothing. It is completely lopsided. It's so disproportionate. The top 1% of taxpayers, they paid the highest average income tax rate. In fact, it's the most. I'm looking at data from 2022. So the average income tax rate in 22 was 14%. The top 1%, they paid actually way over that. They got 23 average rate, six times higher than the 3% average rate. The top 50% paid 97% of all federal income taxes. The bottom 50% only paid, actually they paid less than three. Good God. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER 15 : 85:52

And by the way, our progressive tax system needs to be completely looked at. The more you make, the more you pay.

SPEAKER 19 : 85:58

It's punitive.

SPEAKER 15 : 85:59

It's theft. 10% of my salary, as opposed to 10% of, say, Donald Trump's salary or whatever, his 10% is paying way more. And we're still both paying 10%.

SPEAKER 19 : 86:09

Honestly, all of the discussion about civil wars over everything other than this is stupid. But if you talk to me about a civil war over this, I'm in. Because we literally went to war for less than this back in the day. It's so bad. This is so bad. So the top 1%, they have a rate six times higher than the average rate. This is math, by the way. This is literally the summary of all of the latest federal income tax data. It punishes.

SPEAKER 15 : 86:42

I'm looking at this. It punishes success. It punishes success.

SPEAKER 19 : 86:49

And yes, the top 1% pay... The most they pay six times higher than everyone else. So what is he talking about? He's he's an economically illiterate moron. Good grief. And this is this is what they're this is what they're what they're paying. And they're going to pay more. He wants everybody to. Can you imagine a half year check in New York going? I always carry, I've told you a million times, I have no problem using lethal force to protect myself or my loved ones, but I also realize too that Not everyone is American. Not everyone wants to exercise or believes in natural rights. And so you have municipal or private property restrictions that may disarm you. And we always don't have the luxury of choosing where we go, especially if it's for work. But you want to be protected. Maybe you carry a stun gun. And that's nice. That has like maybe one round to the burn a gun, which shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. The CL, the compact launcher, it has 15. It's a 15 round shot capacity per cartridge. There's no recoil, easy target acquisition. And it's small, it's as small as a smartphone, so it's easily concealed. And you don't have to, there's no background checks, there's no fees, there's no waiting periods, they can send it right to your door, making it accessible to everybody. And I think it's incredibly important, especially for college kids, that they're old enough to go carry a full auto overseas in defense of their country, but they can't carry a semi-automatic here at home to protect themselves, which is insane. But they've got to go to school. They maybe live alone. This is an option for them as well. You can visit Burna.com slash Dana. Check out the Burna, C-L-B-Y-R-N-A. Burna.com slash Dana.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

SPEAKER 19 : 88:42

Mitch McConnell fell down. He fell down inside of the Senate. He was helped to his feet by an aide and a Capitol Police officer, and he waved briefly at the camera before walking away without any assistance. He's 83 years old. He was asked a question by a reporter at the time when he lost his footing inside of the basement of the Russell Senate office building just a little earlier. He needs to just retire and relax and enjoy his life. because I can't imagine people living out the latter part of their lives in elected office. That just sounds like a hell on earth that no one wants to be a part of, you know? Just awful. A Marshall's shopper stabbed a customer in front of her family over a checkout line dispute, according to New Jersey cops. This is crazy. People are nuts. I'm telling you, the violence is real. A woman was upset at a customer because apparently they were taking too long, I guess, at the checkout. And she was just apparently getting very testy over it. And the victim, she stabbed the victim multiple times in front of her family. She apparently was buying kitchen knives from the store and used one of the kitchen knives to stab the shopper. It was like 6 o'clock on a Saturday. And it was Amber Thompson, 25, in Newark, got into an argument with another customer over the speed of the checkout lane. As the victim and her family left the store and headed towards the car, Thompson allegedly purchased a set of kitchen knives, removed one from the box, took one out of the box, and then followed the victim in the parking lot and stabbed her multiple times. She was taken to a nearby hospital with injuries that thankfully were not life-sustaining. Wow. Okay. Yeah, how is that not attempted murder? I agree with you. A Disney World guest apparently committed suicide at a resort hotel. Ooh, haunted Disney? I'm just saying, this is horrible. Wednesday, someone was found dead due to apparent suicide at their contemporary resort hotel. They said the manner of death was ruled a suicide, and it was apparently near the resort hotel, just outside of the hotel. Magic Kingdom Park. And they said it was an apparent suicide. So that's super sad. And a Volvo, a woman sues Volvo after her dog triggers the trunk to close, causing her brain injury. That's not Volvo's fault. That's your fault. Stick with us.

SPEAKER 10 : 92:36

Yes, I'm thinking of it, of the fact that remedial action absent discriminatory intent is really not a new idea in the civil rights laws. And my kind of paradigmatic example of this is something like the ADA. Congress passed the Americans with Disabilities Act against the backdrop of a world that was generally not accessible to people with disabilities. And so it was discriminatory in effect because these folks were not able to access these buildings. And it didn't matter whether the person who built the building or the person who owned the building intended for them to be exclusionary. That's irrelevant. Congress said the facilities have to be made equally open to people with disabilities if readily possible. I guess I don't understand why that's not what's happening here. The idea in Section 2 is that we are responding to current day manifestations of past and present decisions that disadvantage minorities and make it so that they don't have equal access to the voting system. Right. They're disabled. In fact, we use the word disable in Milligan. We say that's a way in which you see that these processes are not equally open.

SPEAKER 19 : 94:05

So this is the DEI pick for the U.S. Supreme Court, Ketanji Brown Jackson, who is literally comparing black people and the black people not having majority black congressional districts to disabled people not being able to enter a building before the American Disabilities Act. Oh, my gosh. She literally said, quote, they don't have equal access to the voting system. They're disabled. Anybody else that would have said this, they would have immediately, like the Apollo Sandman, pulled them off of the bench. Holy cow. So does she think being black is a disability? That's what she just said, right? You heard that? Yeah. I mean, if you're disabled, isn't that you have a condition, whether it be physical or mental, that somehow limits activity or senses or movement or something? Is she saying that being black is the same thing as that?

SPEAKER 15 : 95:08

Well, she argued that.

SPEAKER 19 : 95:12

What does she think that she is incapable of doing as a black person from her perch on the U.S. Supreme Court bench? That's a million dollar question. The irony of a black Supreme Court justice saying that being black means you are disabled, thus unable to vote the way you want is. Did we just get like drugged or something? I. Holy cow. I think that she is one of the most uneducated people I have ever heard in my life. She is so out of her league. Even Sotomayor has contrasted her on numerous occasions. She's arguing for race-based districting, redistricting. So she's quite literally arguing for racism. I mean, she had said the idea in Section 2, and she's talking about the Voting Rights Act, and they heard arguments on that yesterday, that current day manifestations of past and present decisions, I'm reading the transcript, that disadvantage minorities and make it so they don't have equal access. So she's saying that means that they, oh my gosh, Cain, dear heavens.

SPEAKER 15 : 96:34

My head is hurting. Hurting.

SPEAKER 19 : 96:36

It's like Maxine Waters is sitting on the bench. Yeah. Um, that's, that's, that is, I never thought I'd ever heard. I thought I've heard every argument and I lo and behold, I'm surprised now.

SPEAKER 15 : 96:51

I don't want to call that an argument though. I mean, it's a hail Mary at best and it doesn't really address what they're discussing. All it does is create, she's trying to create some sort of victim category in this arena and she's using disabilities in regards to race based redistricting. It makes no sense.

SPEAKER 19 : 97:14

Isn't, I mean, when, when Democrats tell you who they are, you better believe them. Uh, her arguments, I was reading some of, I mean, of course, remember, this is the justice, this is the Supreme Court justice who, when she was asked during her confirmation hearing to define what a woman is, what did she say, that she wasn't a biologist? Yes. Oh my gosh. So, I don't think that, I actually think she was struggling to understand the statements that were being made in court. At one point, the solicitor general said the plaintiff said they want another majority black district. And Jackson said they said our votes are being diluted. And the solicitor general said, which is the same way of saying that we want another black district. And she's like, no, it's not. And maybe she's disabled. I don't know. You're right, Kane. I am. I. It doesn't make any sense. And I can't believe that she made this compare. I mean, I can, I guess. She can't tell what a woman is without a biologist, but then she just basically proclaimed an entire race of people are disabled because she can't gerrymander a district the way that she wants to. I mean, this is really stunning. So her whole point she's that she's arguing for, she's arguing about. It sounds like her issue is with white because she had said at one point white Democrats were not voting for black candidates, whether they were Democrats or not. That's what an NAACP lawyer had argued. And that's why they were talking about making these race based congressional districts. That's. That sounds like, okay, that's always been a problem with Democrats. Democrats have always had a problem with minorities. They've always pretended that they don't, but they were the party who wanted to stop women from voting. They were the party who put the American Indians on the trail of genocide and fought against them owning their own land. They were the party who wanted to perpetuate slavery. They were the party who wanted to put the Japanese in internment camps. They have literally always been the party to do the lists, to do the camps. They were also the bigger national socialist sympathizers back in the day. So they've always why is this shock anybody that, of course, Democrats still to this day would have an issue with black candidates. And then they finally the only I mean, they fast track Barack Obama, who is severely underqualified for the position, more so than any other person who ever ran for that office before at that point in his career. And then they they. They did that and think that they have a pass for all of their historical abuses. Abuses, by the way, that they continue to engage in today and everyone just looks the other way because they want that access to power. It is one of the craziest things I've ever seen. This is when she wouldn't answer. Steve has this. This is when Ketanji Brown Jackson wouldn't answer whether schools should teach five-year-olds if they can pick their own gender. Listen to this. Listen to her.

SPEAKER 22 : 100:26

With Georgetown Day School, I found it astounding that it teaches kindergartners, five-year-old children. And I've got grandchildren. They teach them that they can choose their gender. So is this what you were praising when you applauded the, and I'm quoting you, transformative power of Georgetown Day School's progressive education? Do you agree that our schools should teach children that they can choose their gender?

SPEAKER 11 : 101:04

Senator, I'm not... Remembering exactly what quote you're referencing, but Georgetown Day School is... It was in a book, and you gave the quote.

SPEAKER 22 : 101:21

Georgetown Day School is a private school that... Yeah, I'm asking, do you agree that schools should teach children that they can choose their gender?

SPEAKER 11 : 101:33

Senator... I'm not making comments about what schools. Oh, my word.

SPEAKER 19 : 101:44

Wow. wow so this is her so you're that makes her remark less does it i mean i don't know now democrats still they're having an issue luke rosiak's reporting that instead of forcing jay jones out of the race remember they some of them were trying to leak internal showing how bad he was struggling after he was uh after those texts where he talked about shooting people came out now they're trying to go after the person that they blame for the public finding out about his texts So they're trying to oust the woman that they're blaming for his text becoming public, and that's Carrie Coyner. And she's a Republican. She's a moderate Republican in the Virginia House. She's the one that Jones was texting when he was fantasizing about murdering Republicans and went and shooting kids. In fact, she she was so moderate that she this was in 2022 when all this happened. She was so moderate. She didn't she never made them public. So. Rosiak notes that they replaced the moderate speaker, Todd Gilbert. That's the one that Jones wanted to murder. He wanted to kill him and his kids. And he had texted that he wanted Todd's wife to watch her children die, watch her children die in her arms. So they replaced him with Speaker Don Scott, who is a convicted crack dealer. Yeah. And then after Koiner confirmed that, yes, these texts were authentic. Then the convicted crack dealer, Don Scott, used a church pulpit, Rosiak wrote, to minimize and murder an attacker, to minimize murder an attacker. Wow. He went to speak at a church in her district on the 5th of October. He told the congregants that using the pulpit to minimize Jones's homicidal ideation against Koiner, he accused her of betrayal. Wow. Wow. So Gilbert cut an ad accusing Koiner of the exact thing, betrayal, this week. The guy that Jay Jones was talking about murdering apparently cut an ad accusing Koiner. Oh my gosh. This is insane. They don't like moderates. This is crazy. And remember, Abigail Spanberger also blamed Republicans for Jay Jones's scandal. She won't work. She won't demand that Jones and they want the guy who gets so mad that he talks about murdering people and shooting their kids. They want him as top cop in Virginia. You're going to back that blue. Just curious. He'd be the attorney general. Imagine what Jay Jones would do with his power. Think about it. If he sits there and fantasizes about murdering people, what do you think that he would do with his power? You think that you could trust somebody like that with that power? I mean, if you believe that, then, you know, lick the chains on your wrists.

SPEAKER 03 : 105:04

Pelosi, are you at all concerned that the new January 6th committee will find you liable for that day? Are you at all concerned about the new January 6th committee finding you liable for that day? Why did you refuse the National Guard on January 6th?

SPEAKER 17 : 105:20

Shut up. I did not refuse the National Guard. The president didn't send it. Why are you coming here with Republican talking points as if you're a serious journalist?

SPEAKER 03 : 105:29

The American people want to know. We still have questions.

SPEAKER 19 : 105:32

I mean, she literally said it in her daughter's documentary where they gave it up. She was like, I'm not going to call on the guard. She said it, though.

SPEAKER 15 : 105:41

And admitted she should have allowed it. Yeah. And Mario Bowser had a letter refusing the offer from Trump for 10,000.

SPEAKER 19 : 105:47

So why is she getting so upset? She's really crabby there.

SPEAKER 15 : 105:54

Because our garbage mainstream media will run cover for her and she knows it.

SPEAKER 19 : 105:58

I really wish the reporter, though, would have said, well, then why did you say in your daughter's documentary that you weren't sending in the guard? And that... And even acknowledge that it had been requested by POTUS. Why did you say that in your daughter's documentary that everybody saw and the clip is still online and you were in the back of a car on the phone talking about it? Why did you say that then? I mean, do these people, I don't know, maybe because they're a different generation, they don't realize that all of this stuff is easily accessible and you can just grab it right off the web or not? Or, as you were talking about, the Bowser letter. Or what about the Capitol Police that were like, or was it D.C. Police?

SPEAKER 15 : 106:32

It was D.C. Police.

SPEAKER 19 : 106:33

They were like, yeah, nobody called the other guard. They didn't, you know, POTUS had said something. Oh, my gosh. This is insane.

SPEAKER 15 : 106:40

There's a chain of command issue that they were trying to explain to us. Remember, at the time, we were reporting on all of this, and the police chief was claiming, look, we have protocol we have to go through, and I can't do anything unless we get the green light from the mayor. And they refused it. Muriel Bowser refused it.

SPEAKER 19 : 107:02

Yeah, absolutely refused it. So this is, wow. I mean, she got really upset there. And I really wish that that reporter would have followed up. I would have interrupted her and overpowered the volume of her voice by asking about that. Yeah.

SPEAKER 15 : 107:18

And I noticed a lot of bots or other accounts online trying to perpetuate this lie that somehow Trump never offered and never made that gesture. Right.

SPEAKER 19 : 107:29

And it's not true. Correct. So asinine. You know what I forgot to get into today and I'll have to save it for tomorrow is the alien story. Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up. Where's this at? Where's this at? You got 40 seconds. No, no, no, I know. Where did I? Oh, oh, oh. A documentary revealing a government cover of non-human intelligence variety reported on this. Ooh. And apparently they're saying it's, I totally believe that. I think that there are aliens right now. I think there are aliens right here on Earth right now. Some of them are, I think they've infiltrated everything.

SPEAKER 15 : 107:56

Non-human intelligence.

SPEAKER 19 : 107:57

It explains so much. It explains a lot of pop music.

SPEAKER 15 : 108:00

And yes, exactly. That's non-intelligent humans. That's a little different, but it sounds the same.

SPEAKER 19 : 108:04

Kane and I were fighting. I'm going to set this up. I'm not going to. You can set up your clip. But Kane and I were fighting over today in stupidity because I wanted to play it immediately. And he was like, no, I have it earmarked for this segment. It's the one time I get to speak uninterrupted for 60 seconds. Wow.

SPEAKER 15 : 108:19

Does that sound like that? Did I say those words? No. I don't remember all that.

SPEAKER 19 : 108:22

All right, go ahead. Today in stupidity.

SPEAKER 15 : 108:23

There you go. It's Hakeem Jeffries. Oh, this is so bad. When his political career fails, he's going to be a rapper.

SPEAKER 12 : 108:30

Like me and Donnie. House Republicans shut the government down. Then they ran out of town. And for the last three weeks, they're nowhere to be found.

SPEAKER 19 : 108:43

All the oun stuff rhymes.

SPEAKER 15 : 108:45

Man, anyone else impressed?

SPEAKER 19 : 108:48

So deaf, man. D-E-F.

SPEAKER 15 : 108:50

All right, yeah. Oh, boy. We all know that it's... And by the way, House... We already passed the CR. Stop it already. Get off your butts and tell your Democrat colleagues in the Senate to get this government back up and running, okay?

SPEAKER 19 : 109:04

Now, tomorrow, I believe the video component will be back. Juan will be returned, and it'll be normal tomorrow. In the meantime, find us at YouTube, Facebook... Like and subscribe and sub stack chapter and verse. I will be back with you behind the mic tomorrow.

SPEAKER 18 : 109:19

Listen, as students and young adults interview well-respected CEOs on our national radio show, realworldleaders.org to learn secrets for success and how to use them to propel their careers.

SPEAKER 06 : 109:29

This was super interesting. And especially to see that everything can lead to something else. Like our cooking led you to be, you know, the founder, the president of a business. And even like your activities in high school, middle school, like led to this moment.

SPEAKER 24 : 109:42

Adeline, what are you looking to do with the rest of your life? Do you have a sense of that?

SPEAKER 06 : 109:46

No, not really, but I'm exploring a lot of interests right now and I enjoy music and languages. So I think maybe something in that area.

SPEAKER 24 : 109:54

Brett, somebody that's interested in languages and music, you think there's any hope for them? Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER 13 : 109:58

I mean, in our world today, everybody speaks different languages and they work with people that speak different languages, have different cultures. That's great.

SPEAKER 18 : 110:06
