SPEAKER 03 : 0:30

Donald Trump blessed it as well.

SPEAKER 23 : 0:33

So let me ask you about a provision that the Republicans are talking about quite a bit. I know you want to talk about and Democrats want to talk about extending the Obamacare subsidies, which expire at the end of 2025. But they talk about the provisions and it's right here. subtitle E and this has to do with the repeal of healthcare subtitle changes and specifically what it is. How they characterize it is you want to give health insurance to undocumented immigrants. I understand that's not really an accurate depiction, but what it does do is... That's a lie. it's a lie but what you support does bring back funding for emergency medicaid to hospitals some of which does pay for undocumented immigrants and people who don't have health insurance and also there is this provision and it's not about undocumented immigrants it's about people with asylum seekers and people with temporary protected status etc etc but about their ability to get medicaid so they're non-citizens they're not undocumented they're not illegal Why even include that in a bill knowing that they're going to seize right upon that and use that as a message?

SPEAKER 16 : 1:36

I understand that Donald Trump... Well, because they're counting on you, Jake, to carry the water for them. They're counting on you. What the heck? What do you think? Because that's usually how it's always gone, right? You have the media that... Absolutely carries the water for Democrats. And to that point, they get into I mean, getting into the weeds and doing all of the getting into the all of the narrative building for the left and basically structuring their argument for them while you're asking them a question that I mean, that's just kind of part of it. I can't stand people who do the questioning like that. Like, oh, let me set you up with a total softball, by the way. Let me just get you set up with a softball. And, you know, we'll just do. And Hakeem Jeffries, why are they going to him with everything all the time? He's in the house. They pass this. Why aren't the hard questions being thrown to, say, Chuck Schumer, right? Why are they not being thrown to, like, Chuck Schumer? Welcome to the program. Dana Lash with you. We are at the top of this first hour in the program. And we're going to get into just because I figured it's probably important. So you have the information just to explain. Yes, absolutely. It's about funding health care for people who are. who are in the country illegally. I mean, it's absolutely true. We're going to get into that. We're going to get into some of the ADL stuff. which has—I'm just enraged over this, the ADL thing, and I'm very glad that Kash Patel has ended the association that the ADL had with— the FBI's association with the ADL over the Turning Point USA stuff. So we're going to get into all of that and more here coming up. So into this, I just—I want to touch on this because I saw— They've had memores about it all day yesterday. I'm looking at my notes. For those of you who can't see, I have a giant, we do the radio program and you're watching us do radio. So there's no teleprompter. I'm not going to stare lovingly into the screen for forever because I got all of this stuff right here on my desktop because you're watching a radio program. So channel 347, the chat's at Rumble. So I'm looking at my notes here. And I mentioned this yesterday. It's something that the vice president had also tweeted out. I think it was this morning that he tweeted this out, where he was talking about the fungibility of money, right? He's talking about the fungibility of money. And he's right, and I made this point yesterday, because when you're getting billions of dollars from the government, you're essentially that frees up the money that you have for other things, right? And that's something that the vice president had tweeted about. And again, we did a whole thing on this yesterday talking about this. So he's I think it's interesting, too, that the VP is out doing most of the fighting on this. Do you find that interesting, Cain? It's not so much POTUS. This is like the fourth time I've seen VP go out.

SPEAKER 05 : 5:04

Yeah, and I think he's like the tiebreaker in the Senate if it ever comes to that. So my guess is that's probably why.

SPEAKER 16 : 5:10

I've never seen a vice president be utilized like that.

SPEAKER 05 : 5:13

Well, the last ones haven't had the ability to deal with the press like J.D. Vance has proven he can.

SPEAKER 16 : 5:19

Even on the Republican side of things, I've got to say. So it's interesting to see. messaging on this democrats were trying to they were trying to explain the government shutdown and they decided that instead of trying to because they can't they can't push back against the fact that you have people who are going to be getting this money illegally or people who are in the country illegally that are going to be getting money so they decided to do memes this is what they put out instead of addressing these concerns this is audio this is cut eight I hate this. They can't mean this was not funny at all. It was actually disturbing. This is cut eight. This is what they did instead of addressing any of these concerns. Watch.

SPEAKER 19 : 6:00

Republican and Democrat kiddies cannot agree on what should be funded. Democrat kiddies want you to have health care. Republican kiddies do not. Republican kiddies control the Senate, House, and the White House, so they're using that to cut your health care and give money to billionaires. Democrat kiddie tries to negotiate, but Republican kiddie keeps running away. He has a vacation to get to. Uh-oh, suddenly the money you pay for your health insurance has tripled. Thanks, Republicans.

SPEAKER 16 : 6:25

How do you think that happened? That happened specifically because of the way that Obamacare is designed. So they're complaining because Obamacare is designed a certain way? And you know, too, they also had the repeal of all of the expansions with HSA. And they wanted to repeal all of the expansions of HSA access to all of these Americans also. And guess what? That gives money to insurance companies. So they mess up. They fail. They fall on their face. This covers their… failures, but yet you get fewer choices. This is how Obamacare was designed to work. So they're complaining about how Obamacare was designed to work. They're complaining, but this was the design. So that's the meme that they posted. Why is the Democrat kitty naked? What a pervert. Put some clothes on, you freak. Why is the Democrat kitty naked? Of course he is. Just saying. So they posted that. What did Republicans post in response? Was it just a photo or did they actually do a video response?

SPEAKER 05 : 7:27

I thought it was just a photo.

SPEAKER 16 : 7:29

I thought it was just a photo, too. They don't have time for that stuff. That's just so... They posted that on TikTok. Like, oh, well, they don't want you to have healthcare. That's not what this is about. Let me explain something really quickly with this. So when you're looking at... When you're looking at the issue of health care, and we've talked about this before, yes, absolutely, taxpayers fund health care for people who are in the country illegally, right? In fact, this is, I think, what was it, almost $65 billion in federal expenditures were attributable to illegal aliens, and that's a 45% increase since 2017, right? There's a lot. Now, remember also, and I'm going to pull this up. I've got some things here. Remember also that under Biden, and this is huge, this is a big thing under Biden, they relaxed the criteria that is used to evaluate someone's They're whether they're in the country legally or not, and that determines their eligibility. The Biden administration relaxed that. So they made it easier for people here illegally to qualify and receive health care benefits. I mean, I've got a ton of links and even some archived pages where they were announcing this under the Biden administration. And it gets even worse depending on the state. The Congressional Budgetary Office said that Medicaid spending on illegal aliens, and this was just last year alone, Medicaid spending on illegal aliens costs taxpayers over $16 billion. Congressional Budgetary Office, they released its analysis. And what they estimated is that it's over, and they think it's well over, $16 billion. It is an increase of 124% compared to the exact same period under the Trump administration. This is from the Congressional Budgetary Office. And this is also because you had the Biden administration, again, relax the criteria that's used to determine whether or not someone is eligible based upon their legal status. That's a fact. And this they the way that they redefined it in terms of being able to access it. Remember how I told you they were expanding who is and who is not an asylee, who is and who is not a refugee. And the problem with that is that asylees, et cetera, that's capped. So if you have X amount of people coming into that in a certain period, it's. And even if they don't really qualify for it, they get it. And then someone who is a legitimate asylee tries to apply and become an asylum seeker. They're denied because that quota was met for the year by people who are abusing that definition. And so that's one of the things that under Biden-Harris, they relaxed these definitions. They relaxed these classifications. So literally, it pretty much includes everybody because everybody was classified as an asylee under Biden-Harris. And so that allowed people who were previously considered in the country unlawfully to be considered lawful. And then they qualified for legal status and they were eligible for the ACA tax credits. That's a fact. And again, it gets even worse state by state. In California, let me pull this up. This is a piece from March of this year where they were exploiting the Medicaid loophole to pay billions for illegal immigrants' health care. This is according to an independent study. It's the Economic Policy Innovation Center. They said states can do these provider taxes to funnel money back to the state. And then they put illegal immigrants on Medicaid. That is literally what is going on. That's the head of the Economic Policy Innovation Center, a.k.a. EPIC. That was the release of their study, along with the Paragon Health Institute. They were studying California's Medicaid provider and the taxes and how much money was going towards illegal aliens, their health care and other initiative. And it was billions upon billions upon billions upon billions of dollars. Absolute billions and the current law states are required to pay medicaid providers the same amount as the taxes that are raised now the federal government matches that matches those payments by like 60 50 60 percent to help states recoup some medicaid costs so yes your money there's a million different methods and ways in which your money is absolutely going towards us in new york for instance this was So beginning in January 1st, they had a new option for health insurance for people who are illegal aliens. So it says new health insurance options for, they said, I don't believe in the phrase undocumented, illegal aliens. And they had a fact sheet that was entirely in Spanish to explain the benefits that you would get even though you're here illegally. So all of this, absolutely, they are receiving. Absolutely, they're receiving insurance. Free health care paid for by us, the taxpayer. That's a fact. Absolute fact. There was also the Federation for American Immigration Reform. This was a study that was published March 8th of 2023, and it looked at the fiscal burden of illegal immigration on United States taxpayers and what it discovered was. Was that in 23, it was $66.4 billion. That's the expenditures, federal expenditures on illegal aliens, Cain. Now, of medical spending, $24 billion. Billion? Billion. Oh. Absolute billion. Yep. And all of these things, they were still... This is one of the things that Trump was pushing in terms of ending DACA to keep people who are who are abusing DACA from receiving these benefits also. So there's a lot here. Our new partner, kind of a new partner to the program, the Dana Show program, especially since we've been talking about health care and Obamacare and Medicaid and all of this good stuff. It's chapter. So it is. How many times have you heard this? It's Medicare annual enrollment season. I don't even know. I don't I mean, I don't even need it. But I'm like, wait a minute. It seems like it's Medicare annual enrollment season. So this is one Medicare message, though, that you should pay attention to because the plans change every year. So if you like your current plan, you can't keep it. You got to check in what's coming for 2026. The crazy thing is that if you don't renew or review your options, you could lose all of the coverage that you depend on. So you should call Chapter. Chapter can be a partner for you. They review every plan nationwide to make sure that you're not overpaying. And on average, they save people over $1,000 annually. These people are advisors. They're salaried. They advocate for you. They don't work on commission. And they're not the insurance company. And they don't advocate for the insurance company. It can feel like a hassle dealing with this. I hear my mom talking about it and nobody wants to deal with the Medicare annual enrollment, nonstop calls and letters and stress. Have chapter. Check your options quickly. They can do it in under 20 minutes. And if your current plan is still the best fit, you're all set. If not, they're going to help you switch. No gimmicks and no pressure. It's just honest advice from experts who know Medicare inside and out. All you got to do is dial pound 250 and then say the keyword, my Medicare. Medicare is important for you and don't risk it. Work with chapter. They will get you set straight. Dial pound 250 and say the keyword, my Medicare.

So two Delta planes collided and ripped off a wing of one while taxiing at LaGuardia Airport. Passengers said it was, quote, absolutely smashed. Two packed Delta jets, quote, smashed into each other on the runway. This was last night. Authorities terrified passengers. It apparently destroyed a plane's nose and ripped off a large part of the wing. And it's when the wing of one aircraft carrying 32 people, it was departing for Roanoke. It collided with the fuselage of an aircraft arriving from Charlotte, North Carolina with 61 people. They said it clipped the nose and the cockpit. They have damage to our windscreen. Some of the screens in here, you could hear the pilot telling air traffic. I mean, it looks really bad. I mean, I'm looking at photos of it. It just doesn't look good. The windshields were totally shattered. The nose was banged up on one of them. And then the other one, I mean, you can see the wing is just legit torn off. That's insane. That is absolutely insane. We got questions about air traffic control because this is like the millionth time I've heard something like this happening. It's happening too much, really. Let's see. Also on deck.

SPEAKER 18 : 21:10

He continues to attempt to justify the claim that Democrats are pushing for free health care for illegal aliens, illegal immigrants, citing the fact that you can encounter undocumented people in hospital emergency rooms. And he said he keeps suggesting that this was some decision of the Biden administration to provide these emergency services to undocumented people. In fact, that is not the case. This has been a government policy of the U.S. federal government for decades, that hospitals are required to provide emergency care to whoever turns up there, regardless of immigration status.

SPEAKER 16 : 21:44

I told you that yesterday. This is a CNN fact checker who's saying, well, so here's how he's trying to get around it. He's trying to say that Biden and Harris don't have any ownership of it because and I was telling you about this yesterday. It's already federal law in that they people who go to emergency rooms, et cetera, have to be provided with care. However, what's different is that Biden and Harris absolutely under the Biden administration, they redefined Isai Lee. They redefined what a legal protected status was so that people who were technically who were here, not technically, but gratuitously illegally were able to kind of fudge their status and receive benefits. being here illegally that's a fact and then some states went above and beyond even more egregious with it welcome back to the program dana lash with you one of the other things that was taking place under the biden harris administration was the hate mongering from groups like the adl you guys are familiar with the anti-defamation league which just like everything else in washington is very weirdly named it's always named after the thing that it doesn't do So ADL had, they had this list where, their extremists list, right? And they had a ton of different groups, none of which included Black Lives Matter or Antifa. None of those groups were listed on it. But they listed Turning Point USA. They even listed the Family Research Council. They listed FRC, the Family Research Council, on that before as well. And you remember with – and I'm pulling this story up – the Family Research Council with that, or the Family Research Center – no, FRC, yeah – This was back and they were criticizing them as promoting hate and extremism as recently as even October of 23. And they had mentioned the Family Research Council before. And they listed them as an extreme. They said that they promote extremism and hate. Now, if you remember back when the Southern Poverty Law Center, which is another group that is a hate group, Southern Poverty Law Center is a hate group. They put a map of what they said were extremist entities. And they had a map that included the Family Research Council and a man named Floyd Lee Corkins. based on this map, and that's his words that he gave to law enforcement. They took his statement, and it also came up in legal proceedings after when he went to court. He was inspired by that map, found them on their extremist list, and this was over the Chick-fil-A stuff and same-sex marriage, and he took a bunch of Chick-fil-A sandwiches, and he walked into the lobby of the Family Research Council, and he opened fire, and his goal was to kill Family Research Council members And then shoved the Chick-fil-A sandwiches into their dead gaping mouths. That's what he was going to do. And he ended he was taken into custody and he admitted that it was the Southern Poverty Law Center map. That's where he first that's where he saw where they were, etc. so anti-defamation league is very similar in terms of inciting hate and they had listed and again they did not list black lives matter as an extremist group they didn't listen occupy wall street as an extremist group they haven't listed antifa as an extremist group but it's all christian and conservative entities and they listed turning point usa as an extremist group now here's the interesting thing if you think well this is just This is just something that this group did and it doesn't really matter. Well, it does matter because they had a relationship with the FBI. And there would be opportunities and penalties that came with being a group that was considered extremist by an affiliate or an ally of the Biden-Harris FBI. The FBI and the ADL actually worked together. In fact, the ADL trained FBI personnel. They had an entire hate crimes regime or program, regimen, and they trained FBI personnel on things like extremism, hate, things like that. It included the, quote, law enforcement and society program. And they had developed that program. They worked with James Comey. James Comey just fawned over the ADL. He went to a bunch of different events that they had. He spoke at their events all the time. They literally created initiatives together. So if you think it doesn't matter that the Anti-Defamation League had listed a group like Turning Point USA as a hate group, imagine not being able to be a speaker on a college campus because the college, when they were advancing the event, talked to the FBI and the FBI said, well, based on our partner, the ADL, this is a hate group. That is literally how that works. So you had the Biden Harris FBI that was working with a far left organization that classified all groups that represented political dissent, Christian groups, pro-life groups, student groups like Turning Point as literal, quote unquote, hate and extremist groups and had them listed in their extremist glossary for who knows how long. All while collaborating with the FBI and telling and whispering into the ear of federal law enforcement staffers, this is a hate group. Do you not have an issue with that? Where are the free speech warriors on the left all of a sudden? The ones who were bitching and moaning about Jimmy Kimmel this entire time. Where are they at? Where were they? when innocuous Christian groups were being labeled as hate groups. Now you can see why the FBI designated parents who spoke out at school board meetings as, quote, domestic terrorists. Now you can see why the FBI was classifying parents and parent groups that were active in their communities as domestic terrorists and abusing the abuse left open in the loophole from the Patriot Act. Now you can see why that was happening. So now the FBI, under Kash Patel, they have severed ties with the Anti-Defamation League. And by the way, they had Turning Point listed as an extremist group before the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Patel listed this, he announced this change yesterday. And Patel said that James Comey wrote love letters to the ADL. And you know that the FBI embedded agents with the ADL. The FBI had embedded agents with the Anti-Defamation League while they were targeting conservative and Christian groups. He said that they were running, quote, disgraceful ops spying on Americans. That era is over. He says that the FBI won't partner with political fronts masquerading as watchdogs. And he is exactly right. Now, the ADL, on their part, they said that they were describing Turning Point USA as a conservative group that, quote, has ties to a range of right-wing extremists and has generated support from anti-Muslim bigots, et cetera, et cetera, white supremacists, et cetera. They listed them as promoting Christian nationalism. And in response to this, when the ADL was asked about it, they decided to delete their glossary. They said, well, it was a mistake. It was a mistake. It shouldn't have been. They shouldn't have been listed in there. No one believes that. I don't believe it was a mistake at all whatsoever. So they deleted their, quote, glossary of extremism and hate, end quote. And they had over a thousand entries. This is what they said in their statement. Quote, with so many entries written over so many years, the ADL glossary of extremism has served as a source of high level information on a wide range of topics for years. And at the same time, an increasing number of entries were outdated. We also saw a number of entries intentionally misrepresented and misused. Why does the left love making lists of people to target and persecute? The ADL is no different. The ADL itself is a hate group. The Anti-Defamation League is a hate group of thought bigots. Absolutely. You want to talk about fascism? Let's talk about the behaviors of the ADL. Listing good people as extremists simply because they believe in Jesus. No joke. That's literally Charlie Kirk's crime was he believed in Jesus and he was nice to people who disagreed with him. He's got to die. People like the groups like the ADL, they're culpable in all of this. People like the groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center, they're culpable in all of this. They know what they're doing when they make these lists. You can't convince me that there isn't a tiny part of them. that secretly hopes they incite some kind of violence by making lists like these. What else is the point? What is the point? And to not even include Black Lives Matter, Black Lives Matter, people were killed. There was an ambush on cops in Dallas where cops were murdered on live national television by a BLM activist, rioter, who was taking part in the demonstrations in downtown Dallas. Or let's talk about Antifa setting fire to a church. No, but that's not considered, that's not on any of their lists. So basically the ADL's litmus test for inclusion is do you agree, yes or no? And if you don't agree with them, then you're a hateful extremist. This is heinous. heinous, absolutely heinous. And Cain reminds me too, they are a 501c3, right? They're not a c4, they're a c3. How are they not violating their tax exempt status by being so specific? They have a heat map where you can track online extremist groups. This is what they do. So I'm glad that the FBI ended that association. This is what people don't realize when and the left doesn't they don't the left can shut the hell up because they have never had to endure what conservatives had to endure. Nobody on the left has ever had government entities breathing down their necks the way that conservatives do. They never had the FBI partner with like actual hate groups to classify them as a hate group simply for existing. Let's not forget what the FBI was trying to when they were trying to run on Catholics. Designating Catholics as hate groups, targeting Catholics and trying to embed themselves in Catholic churches. That's a reality. You know, when you hear stories like this that are real, all of the conspiracy stuff seems pretty legitimate, doesn't it? Like the story that came out about how many government officials actually were in plainclothes on J6. There's a lot of stuff there. And it makes you wonder who's pulling the levers, deep state, to try to get people to be at each other's throats. This isn't a conspiracy theory. I absolutely believe that there are these people embedded in government that would love to use and abuse government authority to kick off a civil war. Absolutely. The Biden-Harris administration, they were using the levers of government in the most abusive ways to target and persecute people for their beliefs. The Biden administration was actively persecuting Christians here. Now, how is that any different from what Nigeria is doing? Except there are a lot more of them are being killed in Nigeria than here. We just had an assassination of one Nigerian. So where are all the free speech warriors? Spare me about that fat ass Jimmy Kimmel. Where are all the free speech warriors on the left who were so upset over Jimmy Kimmel? Not a single one of them have had anything to say about the FBI actively embedding agents within the ADL and targeting Christian organizations. So that's why you can't take anyone on the left seriously. They don't really believe in free speech. They believe in control of your speech. And that's all they've ever been about. And that's all they'll ever be about. Energy and really healthy blood flow. That's what it is about with Super Beats. This is a great, obviously, it's a science-based supplement. There are a lot of athletes that use Super Beats. The big thing is healthy blood pressure circulation and everyday energy. And heart health, blood pressure circulation, all of that come down to blood flow. And it's more I think there are like 160 colleges and pro teams use super beats and your team's probably using it as well. It's incredibly popular. It's the super beats heart chews from human to choose support healthy blood pressure, blood flow and energy. And with clinically studied ingredients, they've been shown to deliver nearly two times. more effective healthy blood pressure support than diet and exercise alone. It's heart healthy energy without the crash, supporting healthy circulation without stimulants, no artificial sweeteners, no artificial colors at all.

I don't care.

SPEAKER 16 : 36:54

Find me at Whole Foods where I go and buy overpriced, like not really totally organic groceries because I'm such a scene stir whore. Morgan Wallen, you make so much more money than me and you're going to have a longer lasting career because my career was built upon like falsetto and bad tone and also sex. And that ages you when you start hitting 40. Where's the lie? For real. I think some people are just like, no one's paying attention to me. So I got to pull a political stunt. And then they do something like this. I don't know. I'm just not I'm not into paramour just because it's. I'm not. I just I've never been a fan. I just always thought her vocal tone was like thin and weak. And I don't think that she could hit some of the notes of that auto tune. And they're just a lot more. There are a lot of other actually really talented female vocalists out there. So I don't care. But I do think if you're going to be petty, then you completely give people like me who thrive on opportunities to just be really just unleash.

SPEAKER 05 : 38:20

No, there was a time I was, back in the early 2000s.

SPEAKER 16 : 38:25

I mean, how old is she now?

SPEAKER 05 : 38:28

Honestly, she's got to be in her late 40s, probably.

SPEAKER 16 : 38:31

Bitch, you're too old for this. Stop it. Good night. I just can't stand this stuff. It's, you know, you can't... She's 36?

SPEAKER 05 : 38:40

Oh, so she was... Oh, the Megs are getting old, girl.

SPEAKER 16 : 38:43

Uh... If you are offended, there are some people out there that think my comments are about them. Like that one nasty lady that wrote me a nasty gram. Not everything is about you. It's really just about this chick that we're talking about right now. But that's like, why are you going to be mean? She sounds jealous and petty, right? Morgan Wallen, he's just going to go crying to all his money. This chick doesn't like me. Anyway, I'm over it. All right. We got a lot more on the way, including. Oh, wait. I didn't even get to half the stuff that we have. Hold up. I got lawlessness and disorder. Knives out for Secwar. They're coming at him. All the people whose feelings that he hurt yesterday when he went to their faces and said, you fat. or earlier this week, I should say. They're very mad, and now they're threatening to leak on him. So we're going to talk about that coming up. Stick with us. Second hour on the way.

SPEAKER 14 : 39:36

Hello, everybody. It's Greta Thunberg.

SPEAKER 16 : 39:39

Once again, we'll capture you. She wasn't captured. IDF was like, girl, why are you so stupid? Welcome back to the program. Dana Lashley, the top of the second hour. So Greta Thunberg and the flotilla activists, they were trying to get into Gaza and they could not get through. My favorite part was when they put cash in plastic bottles and then threw them overboard because they thought that the water would take it to the shore and that Gaza would have aid. I am not making that up. Steve can confirm because Steve and I were laughing our heads about it, our heads off about it during break. I'm not making that up. That's a real thing. There are photos. In fact, I think that was like one of the videos that you guys saw that Juan had put up because they they actually thought they could just. i don't know how far out they were but that they could just put stuff in uh plastic bottles and then that was gonna do it that was gonna get that was gonna get it over but okay there you go so uh the flotilla the greta thunberg flotilla are you shocked that they'd once again did not make it how many times are they gonna do this you they they call it a flotilla isn't it just like one yacht It was just one yacht. That's not even a flotilla. By the way, what Juan's getting, he's, oh my gosh, you guys, he's totally getting into the video where they're putting the stuff in plastic bottles. They're putting the humanitarian aid in plastic bottles and throwing it overboard because they think that the water gods will pull the plastic bottles. I swear to you, that's what they're doing here. To shore. And that's look at all the aid, so much aid. Look, they just stopped all of it. They ended Hamas right there with those two. They actually threw plastic water bottles with just a couple of dollars in it overseas. That's their idea of being of distributing aid. They're a bunch of stupid fame whores. There is no other way to say it. This is the most pathetic fame whorey thing that I've seen since, I don't know, Candace Owens tries to hijack Charlie Kirk's memory in TPUSA. Anyway, it's what do they call it? It's it was the global flotilla or whatever. And they were one vessel headed towards Gaza. That's guys. That's a yachting excursion. That's a yachting excursion. That's what that is. They, what, Kate?

SPEAKER 05 : 42:16

Did you know that they have a global flotilla tracker?

SPEAKER 16 : 42:22

Oh, do they? Oh, they do.

SPEAKER 05 : 42:25

And you get to track where they dump plastic into the ocean.

SPEAKER 14 : 42:29

But I thought she loved the earth. Greta, why are you littering? Why are you throwing the plastic bottles in the water?

SPEAKER 16 : 42:37

I'm very curious about this. So they made her sit down. Did they give her another sandwich? How many sandwiches has she received? This is like the second or third time, right? So they're trying to challenge Israel's blockade, which has been in place since 2007 because Hamas won't stop terrorizing everybody. Oh, look how pathetic it is. The flotilla tracker. There they are. Look how far away they were. And they thought, we're just going to throw these bottles. It's the dumbest thing I've ever seen. So they were intercepted again. They had to sit down, put their little picnic blanket scarves on, had a little frog hat. And that's I don't know what they thought was going to happen. This is just this is not actually doing anything. They're not actually doing anything positive. I just really don't understand the other than fame whoriness. I don't understand the point of it. It doesn't. What have they achieved, Cain? Nothing.

SPEAKER 05 : 43:40

No, just feeding themselves and having a little cruise on the ocean.

SPEAKER 16 : 43:44

You know what? They just like them IDF sandwiches. How can we go out and get another IDF sandwich?

SPEAKER 14 : 43:50

Them Greta Thunberg. I'm going to throw plastic bottles into water.

SPEAKER 16 : 43:55

I just can't. I can't with these people. So... Oh, wait. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on. Let me look at this. This is... This is Greta. She... So when the IDF intercepted them... She was trying to call the Swedish government for help. E.T. phone home. Audio Zambait 18, please.

SPEAKER 13 : 44:17

My name is Gaby Zambait. I'm a citizen of Sweden. If you are watching this video, I have been abducted and taken against my will by Israeli forces. Our humanitarian mission was nonviolent and abiding by international law. Please tell my government to demand my and the others' immediate release.

SPEAKER 16 : 44:35

I find her to be tiresome and stupid, and I think she is an embarrassment to humanity. Greta Thunberg. This is what happens when you make idiots your messiah. And she was in international waters. She was approaching the blockade. If she wants to talk about kidnapping, she was not abducted. No, the Bebus kids were abducted. When their mother and those two babies were abducted by Hamas and they were dragged off without shoes, without food or diapers, that was what an abduction looked like. The women that were raped to death, they were abducted from the music festival and then they were taken into Gaza where they were raped to death and their breasts were cut off. Greta Thunberg, you absolute entitled wealthy brat. That is what an abduction is. All of the people, the thousands who never made it home on October 7th and the ones who were abducted and they were scootered away into Gaza. where Gazans worked with Hamas to keep them in captivity. That's what an abduction is. She's always the victim. What did you think was going to happen? No, they had Hamas that got into Israeli towns. They kidnapped civilians. They kidnapped women. They kidnapped babies. They were infants ripped away from their mothers that were kidnapped. That's what an abduction looks like, you absolute entitled broad. She's too old for this. She's not a teenager anymore. She's like an adult female. Where are her ignorant parents at? I mean, I get it that her mom never made it in Hollywood. And so I guess she tried to prostitute her daughter out as some claim to fame. But at some point, it's really embarrassing. And you guys need to step in, if anything, to save face. It's asinine. No, the abductions that took place on October 7th, that's what abduction looks like. You got on a yacht to party with your friends and then you kind of bob towards Gaza. You put money in plastic bottles and threw it into the water because that's how you decided to deliver aid. And then the IDF intervened and they gave you a sandwich and they send you back to your country. That's literally the opposite of an abduction, you idiot. You got a free plane ride back to your country again. That's literally the opposite of an abduction. You disrespectful, illiterate moron. I can't stand her. I can't stand all of them. We were abducted. No, no. The Beavis kids were abducted. And you know what? They didn't get a free plane ride back home. They got sent home in boxes. And the two kids weren't even labeled correctly. The terrorists didn't even care enough about the bodies of the babies to actually put their correct names on the coffins. These people, it's that mentality of how can I make this about me? Every time. Every single time. So, yeah, she wasn't abducted. No one would actually want to abduct her. My gosh, you would have to put up with her. Nobody would want to abduct her. Jiminy Christmas. So a few other things here we have. This, let's see where to start. We, well, let me do Sec War real quick. So I saw this last night. My eyebrow went up. Here's the headline. Highly sensitive Pete Hegseth leak explodes inside Pentagon as he launches dystopian lie detector tests. I saw some people that were complaining about the fact that he, because remember the headlines leading up to this meeting of generals. Oh my gosh, why is the Pentagon calling this meeting of generals? Why is this happening? This is so weird, right? Can you remember all that? Yeah. Why are they doing this? Calling a meeting of the generals. Well, they called a meeting of the generals so he could talk to them about their new the new standards, the new fitness standards. Right. And someone said this is a Politico. The headline could have been an email officials balk at Hegseth Hegseth's generals meeting. That was the headline. The last minute gathering featured hundreds of senior military officials, blah, blah, blah. And they said they thought they were attending a campaign rally. They didn't. There were no names. They just said they. But I thought, oh, wait, that could have been an email. You can't see their faces via email. Imagine a bunch of chicken hawks who want to drag us to war, but they shudder at being called fat to their faces. Oh, my goodness. This is just asinine. So now the knives are out for SEC war. Because they're saying his department has been plagued by backstabbing. Ask why. Ask why the department has been plagued by backstabbing. Oh, well, Secretary of War is not, you know, blah, blah. I don't care. Do you believe in service? Do you believe in the badges and the pins and the medals and all the insignia that you wear every single day? Or do you not? Because we have a chain of command. And the voters made their decision. And the voters selected a president. And through their consent of their vote, the president selected a secretary of war. So when you are undermining that pick, you are actually backstabbing Americans. And I'll have everybody remember how this country was founded. People tried to backstab colonists and they tried to overrun them and impose a foreign rule. And look what happened. No, the department is being plagued by backstabbing because you have a bunch of bureaucratic whiny bitches who are just upset still that they lost the last election. And so they think that they're undermining the Secretary of War when in reality they're stabbing all of us in the back. And then you want our sons and daughters to go and serve? Seriously? I wouldn't, I wouldn't trust, I don't trust command. I don't. I don't trust anybody higher up in the Pentagon or DOD, especially with this type of stuff. They're going to be upset. You just spent four or five years parading out men with lipstick, wearing skirts, and we were, and with high-ranking top secret clearance, and you were trying to make the military a social experiment for transing. And this was on top of everything that happened with regards to the abandonment of Afghanistan. So they're upset over this? They're upset? What in the world?

SPEAKER 05 : 52:59

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

SPEAKER 16 : 53:04

So Maxwell House Coffee is rebranding after 133 years. So everybody knows the Maxwell House stuff. What I don't like are the big pop-up ads that obscure the store. And I want to just absolutely rhetorically murder all of the companies that do that. They said that they're going to change it to reflect the, I guess, new era. I don't know. They're going to call it Maxwell Apartment. Are you kidding me? This is not real. See, let me look. No, it is real. Yeah, they're changing. Maxwell House is going to be Maxwell apartment to reflect, I guess, the new housing market. I'm not kidding you. I'm not kidding you. That's what it's saying. They had a press release. They said that one third of Americans are downsizing instead of buying full sized homes. They're getting small houses or they're renting small apartments. Two thirds of Americans drink coffee daily. They said all of that adds up. So with Maxwell apartment, are you kidding me right now?

SPEAKER 05 : 54:12

So instead of house, it's apartment. Why wouldn't they keep house and then keep the hope and dream of the American life alive? What in God's name is happening?

SPEAKER 16 : 54:25

I'm done today. This is this broke me. I'm done. This is the stupidest thing ever.

SPEAKER 05 : 54:34

It's not parody.

SPEAKER 16 : 54:35

I'm literally done. This is so stupid. I can't. Maxwell Apartment. I'm going to have my Maxwell Apartment coffee. I mean, are you making the coffee better? No, we're not doing that. Hell no. No, we're just going to add more letters on the label.

SPEAKER 05 : 54:52

Maxwell RV is next.

SPEAKER 16 : 54:55

Maxwell Shack. Going to have a Maxwell tent in Skid Row. Right?

SPEAKER 1 : 55:02

Jesus.

SPEAKER 16 : 55:04

I can't. I might have to come back to this because I just can't. I'm done. Let's see. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Oh, they said young people are richer than boomers were. No one believes this. This is for a reason. What? They said a typical 25-year-old Gen Zer has annual household income that's 50% above that of boomers. Okay, are you taking into account inflation for that? Because I just can't. I don't believe this. No. Yeah. Sorry, I don't. Moving on. Well, we got the alligator story yesterday. So that's old. Oh, Joe Biden needed flashcards to recognize not just like the press, but actual major Democrats in his own party. He had to have flashcards to recognize Hillary Clinton, George Clooney. Who else? I think even Michelle Obama. Oh, they also had to have a card for Denzel Washington, the guy that Biden described as one of the greatest actors of the 21st century. Well, he wouldn't know. You know, he wouldn't know. They actually yeah, they had they had to do that. Stick with us. We have more in store. TCU and the problem at universities. It's Medicare annual enrollment again, and if it feels like the whole system is broken, well, you're not wrong because you get millions of spammy mailers, calls from weirdo unknown numbers, very confusing fine print. It's designed to overwhelm you. So the real problem is that Medicare plans change every single year. What covered you yesterday? might not cover you tomorrow. If you don't check, then you could lose benefits that you depend on and the system will not warn you. To make it worse, too many insurance agents push plans that pay them more, not what's best for you. So that's why I'm telling you about Chapter. They cut through the broken system by looking at every plan in the country and not just the ones that pay the highest commission. On average, they save people $1,100 a year. Look, I know that nobody wants to spend time on this, but with Chapter, it takes less than 20 minutes to review for 2026. Call Chapter by dialing pound 250 and say the keyword MyMedicare. That's pound 250, keywords MyMedicare. Medicare is too important, so don't risk it. Work with a partner that I would trust. Chapter.

SPEAKER 23 : 57:23

You said erratic, and I believe you used the word unhinged the other day. I did. Are you trying to draw a line between President Trump's acuity, his mental state, and what's going on here with the shutdown?

SPEAKER 03 : 57:35

No, no, no. I'm actually referring to some of his social media posts, which didn't seem to make a lot of sense. The sombrero and the mustache? Correct. Well, it would seem to me that as the President of the United States, On the brink of a government shutdown, if you actually wanted to bring everyone together to try to get to a resolution in a common sense, bipartisan way, that's not the type of behavior that we would see.

SPEAKER 15 : 58:01

Shut up. Shut up. I mean, if you're talking about bringing people together, Jake. You know, you can't criticize the fact that we're trying to get more people in the country legally covered by taxpayer funded health care.

SPEAKER 16 : 58:17

I mean, it's just not the way to bring people together, Jake. That's what I just heard from Hakeem Jeffries there. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. Bottom of the second hour. So he's still mad about the memes. Can we play five real quick? This is. VP. I wish there was a bio, by the way, can I just, we say POTUS and FLOTUS and I like the OTIS stuff, but you can't VP. It's not the same. Go ahead and play. Sorry. This is cut five.

SPEAKER 22 : 58:48

On the sombrero thing, I mean, Hakeem Jeffries said it was racist, and I know that he said that, and I honestly don't even know what that means. Like, is he a Mexican-American that is offended by having a sombrero meme? I saw one of the major TV stations put the meme up and then say, this is AI-generated, and he had, like, the curly animated mustache, too. It's like, do the American people... Do you really not realize the American people recognize that he did not actually come to the White House wearing a sombrero and a black curly animation mustache? Like, give the country a little bit of credit. We're all trying to do a very important job for the American people. The president of the United States likes to have a little bit of fun when he's doing it.

SPEAKER 16 : 59:29

You know why they can't do that? You know why they won't give the country credit? Because, again, these are the same people who have tried to fake you out about dudes being chicks. So they can't tell what they can't even define what a woman is. So how the hell are they going to know? Well, I don't know. Maybe might be really have a sombrero. But it doesn't make any sense. It's just it doesn't. Yeah. Open the open up the government and the memes stop. Democrats are being held hostage by meme lords. I love it. Love it. I don't know if you guys saw this. This thing exploded. I saw this from TCU. So there's a detransitioner named Chloe Cole. She's 21 years old and was going to speak at Texas Christian University. And they will not allow her to give a speech there. She had posted that TCU holds pride events and they do trans stuff, but they will not allow Christian baptisms and events. They denied their October 7th event, despite rooms being available, according to students and faculty. And when pressed, they said, quote, this is not open for discussion. She adds, this is how free speech dies. Now. TCU was saying, oh, we've held stuff before for TPUSA events. It just seemed like it was an excuse. And they said that it was, they were trying to argue that it was an outside party not affiliated with TCU, but she was invited by a campus group, like a group there on campus. So it just doesn't, all I know is this. Some years ago, we went to TCU and to do a prospective student tour. You know those tours that you undertake With your college, you know, potential college freshman, et cetera. By the way, before I get started into this, I'm just can we just skip the lectures? Because nobody's preached about college more than I have over these several years, by the way. Nobody has. So I don't need the lectures about community college. I homeschooled my kids for half of their education. And I also think that when colleges are offering you money. to attend their school. That's a, that's a, that's a, you can take that and not go into debt. That's a good thing, right? Everybody's different. So please don't, I'm just tired of dealing with it. My whole point is that this, we went to this, uh, perspective parent thing, right? And not even 15 minutes into the lecture, uh, where they have like a college ambassador stand up and they're telling you about the campus culture and this is what you can expect. And I mean, not even, I'm being generous, not even 15 minutes. They immediately started it on DEI. And I noticed there were these signs like all over the room and the hallway leading up to the room where we were at, where they had like the I think that was one of the first times I started seeing the trans, the little pink trans flag thingy cane. I don't even know. It's the light blue with the anyway. So we just left. I'm like, I'm not, this is stupid. I'm not staying here anymore. This is so stupid. The C, it stands for Texas Christian University. The C is purely performative. It is entirely performative. Parents, if you're thinking about sending your kids to Texas Christian University because you think that the Christian's doing the heavy lifting, I regret to inform you that it's just there purely as a performative thing. There is nothing Christian about it. Not at all. And they've had problems for quite some time, right? There is a huge battle on our college campuses, a major battle. I mean, didn't they have like a BLM monument? One parent reached out. Their child attends there. They have a BLM monument right smack in the middle of the campus where you could leave messages about George Floyd, how his life impacted you and how much you hate something, white supremacy, et cetera, et cetera. Even though, again, just a reminder, George Floyd was a drug addict who had been in and out of jail and his last big offense was holding a loaded gun to a pregnant woman's abdomen, you know, but what of. Oh, and don't talk about the toxicology report that actually attributed cause of death to overdose. But we're going to just we'll just skip on by all that because that doesn't fit narratives. And it's very important to participate in lies to uphold a sense of false unity. So the. This I mean, it is it's it's wild, the. Level of partisanship on college campuses and go back to the thing I said just was that last hour we were talking about the FBI and how they had colluded with the 80 out the anti defamation league, their anti defamation as much as Antifa as anti fascist. It's a hate group. The ADL, they had worked to classify a lot of these groups as extremists. So when you would have colleges that would advance these events and check out these groups and they would see the ADL, who has been working with the FBI as a partner, has this group listed because of their Christian beliefs as a hate group, they're going to deny. the opportunity for that group to actually exercise free speech in conjunction with students that are requesting their presence on the college campus because of those classifications. So it absolutely is a situation of censorship. But these college campuses, I made point of this. There are a lot of college campuses that receive a lot of foreign money. And I think a lot of this is driven to divide and driven to start to incite at the college level. Because back through history, Russia, Germany, China, everywhere, it all starts in the college, it all starts at college campuses. All of that start, it all started on college campuses, far left, and it was all very organized. And I made mention of this yesterday in talking about some of this stuff, how It's the amount of money that goes towards these campuses from these leftist institutions is stunning. There was a post that I saw on social, actually it was a video I saw on social media. It was a committee on Homeland Security, Public Safety, and Veterans Affairs. And they were talking about money going into these universities. Since 2001, it was reported, universities, and we talked about this last week, have accepted billions from Qatar. And did you know that Qatar even sued Texas to hide its funding of Texas A&M? It was trying to obscure who it was giving money to. Don't you think that that's kind of an important thing? I do. There's a true story. Texas A&M failed to report $100 million in Qatari funds per the Texas Public Policy Foundation. They had to file a FOIA request. Actually, it was under Texas Public Records Act. Texas A&M had received going towards $300 million from Qatar. And the Qatar Foundation, which is a state-controlled agency, so it's a Qatari agency, they sued to block the release of this information. They said it was a trade secret and it should be shielded from disclosure. They were in court for five years. And the only reason we even know About any of this is because Texas A&M was ordered by the court to release the contracts and the Qataris lost their suit. This was it was wild. They fought to hide it. This is just one example. So in looking at this stuff. I mean, this is why. It's like they always look the other way when you have this stuff that crops up on these college campuses. Not enough people are asking who the largest donors are to American universities. Not enough people are asking why not enough are not talking about it. And they're not asking why are they not talking about it? Why are some of the biggest mouths in conservative media not really talking about the Qataris? They're not talking about, and I'm not, this is not speculation. This is publicly recorded fact. The number one donor, number one, ahead of even the CCP, which is number two, to these universities is Qatar. Now, why is that? Soft power. Spreading influence through money. They're a tiny nation. They're trying to hold their own against the United Arab Emirates and the Saudis. They got a frenemy. Well, not frenemy. They have a friendly relationship with Iran. They have that gas field there in the Persian Gulf between their two countries. So they already they're they're technically part of Iran's energy infrastructure. So they're always protected. They can be they can be sassy. That's one of the reasons why they sheltered Hamas. Because they're they're they in part act like a middleman for Qatar. But you've got to ask, why all of this money going towards these universities? And a lot of it, interestingly, the donors to the universities and the donors to these big leftist organizations that fund and fuel a lot of this division that you see in nations across the country, they're the same. Cain, it's so weird. How weird is that? I mean, I don't want to put on my tinfoil or anything, but... I'm just curious because all I hear about is APAC, APAC, APAC. I don't think anybody agrees with any organization 100%, but the people screaming about APAC, not a damn one of them talk about the Qataris. How interesting is that? Not one of them talk about it. You don't hear nothing from these people about the Qatari investment, number one donor. And you would think if you're going to be so upset about APAC, And I'm not defending AIPAC. I don't give a rat's ass. But I just think I do find the hypocrisy entertaining because you're going to complain about AIPAC. But then if you compare the money that these entities and these universities are getting from Qatar, it is not even it's a joke to even compare it. So why are they so silent? Why? Why all of the silence on the Qatar Qatari funding? Huh? I mean, again, Kane, I don't want to put my tinfoil hat on. But, you know, just saying, Occam's razor, you know. We have more on the way. We got Florida Man coming up as we move. Our partners that help bring you the program. Our friends over at Burn a Gun. It's always important. Look, I carry, I tell you this all the time, I carry, I have no problems using lethal force to protect myself and my loved ones. But I also realize that there are times when you're not able to carry because of municipal restrictions or private property restrictions or or asinine laws that say 18-year-olds can go and carry full auto in defense of their country and foreign lands, but heaven forbid they're not responsible enough to carry a 9mm semi-automatic pistol here at home if they're living alone and going to college. That being said, this is where the Berna gun comes in. You believe in diversification of weapons. That's why you have rifles and pistols and different calibers and blades, etc. This is just adding to the diversification of your self-defense array. Berna gun shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. When you compare it to a regular stun gun that has one or two rounds, the Burna gun outmatches it by 15 round shot capacity per cartridge. No recoil. Easy target acquisition. The CL, the compact launcher, is the most compact model that they have. It's the size of an iPhone. And there's no gun-free zone sign that matters to the Burna gun. It doesn't care about gun-free zones. It's legal in all 50 states. You can buy it online, have it shipped to your door. There's no fees. There's no background checks. There's absolutely nothing that is barring you from being able to make sure that you have a means with which to defend yourself. Visit Burna.com slash Dana. It's the Burna, C-L-B-Y-R-N-A.com slash Dana. Burna, ready when you are.

SPEAKER 05 : 72:28

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

SPEAKER 16 : 72:37

All right. All right. So let's see. We've got. So yesterday we had the guy who was going 124 miles per hour and his excuse to the police was, well, I really had to go to the bathroom. Can you let me go? And they're like, that's not how this works. Well, another guy got in trouble for he was over 100 miles per hour. He was pulled over Michael Stanek. And when they said, why are you going over 100 miles per hour? And I think it was supposed to be like, what, 50, 45, 50, the speed, because I saw a different article. He said, well, you know, I'm late to my barber appointment. Now, gents, I'm feeling you as a lady. You know, I get the importance of it. I'm feeling you right now so hard. But you can't do that. The police did not accept that as an excuse. They're like, maybe you should have left earlier. You can't fly down the highway in like a 45, 50, over 100 miles per hour. So he got pulled over. He ended up getting he went he spent the night in jail and he bonded out of one hundred and fifty dollars. How do you spend the night at jail? Did they just, cause the body cam, they only released stills from the body cam footage and it still looked like it was daylight. So how did he not just get to bond out? Right? Like, can't you just bond? I don't know how the jail, you know, having never been arrested, I don't know how this works. Can't you just like bond out like immediately? Why would the hell would you stay the night in jail?

SPEAKER 05 : 74:06

I wonder if it has to do with how many miles per hour he was over the speed limit.

SPEAKER 16 : 74:12

Well, I guess so. Yeah. So, um, A Florida man tried to eat the evidence, but it didn't work out well. So he's a known felon, known as Rambo. Clearly he's not. And he got busted. It was a drug bust. And his name is Matthew Raymond Rambo, 58. He had an active warrant already. And when they busted him, he tried to eat everything. He tried to eat the money. He tried to eat all of the crack cocaine. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. How is he alive? He apparently ate like 10 grams of crack cocaine and they had to rush him to the hospital. So, and they, and he, they saved him and then they booked him into the Martin County jail. So don't think that you're going to do that and get out of it either. Cause they will save you and then jail you third hour on the way. All Family Pharmacy is a family-owned business dedicated to helping you get the medications you need when you need them the most.

SPEAKER 17 : 76:06

I say they obviously have not read their bill. This counterproposal that he filed, everybody can Google it, go pull it up, it's on the Senate's website and in the legislative text. Go to page 57 of Chuck Schumer's bill and look at section 2141. It says right there in plain language they want to repeal the health provisions of the one big beautiful bill.

SPEAKER 16 : 76:26

Hmm. Yeah. See, so don't know what they're getting all mad about. I mean, the truth is out. I mean, people aren't stupid. They understand this stuff. They know it. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lashley, that was Speaker Johnson, who was addressing some of that, saying that, yes, they're saying that it doesn't. Clearly, they haven't read their bill. And then you have this guy. What state is he from? This not Johnson, but this Sharif Thanadar. He is, because he's a, okay, he's out in Michigan. He admits it here. This is audio 7x14. He admits it that, okay, yeah, we decided to shut our government down over this. Listen, his own words.

SPEAKER 02 : 77:03

Returning back to Detroit this morning after the Republicans failed to show up in the U.S. House. We got to make sure Americans have the health care that they need. And if that means we got to shut this government down, so be it.

SPEAKER 16 : 77:20

Hmm. Well, if they've got to shut the government down, then so be it. OK, well, thanks for admitting that. Thanks for playing. There you go. Thanks for playing. So they the I think one of the reasons that they're able to skirt on this misinformation is because they I mean, they they're they're protected. They get protected. I wanted to play this audio. I'm going to set it up for you. So this was yesterday we had the Pope blessing a block of ice. Now, this was a soundbite where he was weighing in on a cardinal's decision to honor Dick Durbin in the Senate. You know, very big time pro-abortion Senator Dick Durbin. Dick Durbin has been in the Senate for how long, Cain? Really long time. He's 35, 40 years. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I want you to listen to what he says here. He was asked about this. Listen, this is the Pope's response. Listen.

SPEAKER 01 : 78:21

someone who says I'm against abortion but says I'm in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life. So someone who says that I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants who are in the United States, I don't know if that's pro-life. So they're very complex issues. I don't know if anyone has all the truth on them, but I would ask first and foremost that there be greater respect for one another and that we search together both as human beings, in that case as American citizens or citizens of the state of Illinois, as well as Catholics, to say we need to really look closely at all of these ethical issues and to find the way forward as church. Church teaching on each one of those issues.

SPEAKER 16 : 79:08

So I thought equating a violent offender who exercises free will to commit crimes that are so heinous that death is an option, an optional justifiable penalty to comparing that to an innocent baby and then to illegal immigrants is wildly illogical and intentionally deceptive. These are no, these are not difficult issues. These are not complex issues when you're being honest. There was a missed opportunity for the church with Robert Serra. Man alive. I like what my friend Seth Dillon said, because he goes, if you redefine pro-life to mean a defense of all life, guilty or innocent, then you make the principle so absolute and so expansive that it rules out every legitimate use of deadly force, including self-defense and just war, and that's immoral nonsense. And he's absolutely correct. The idea that you can compare a violent criminal who knowingly commits atrocities so heinous that the established penalty is death to compare that person who exercises their own free will to commit those atrocities to an infant who doesn't even understand that yet. That is illogical. It's disingenuous. And as Cain notes, that criminal earned his punishment. They are not comparable things. And the Bible is quite clear about penalties. I just was shocked that someone who is the vicar of Christ in the Catholic Church would make that argument. Like I said, what a missed opportunity with Robert Serra. Because I have a feeling that you wouldn't have heard Cardinal Serra say something like that at all whatsoever. He's pretty clear in his wording. And of course, this comes the day after he blessed a block of ice at a climate change event. That was what it was. And then he put his hand on the ice. And we played that yesterday. Blessed a block of ice at a climate change event. He had nothing really to say about Charlie Kirk. You have a time of massive Christian revival right now. And he's doing a climate change event and talking about this. How tone deaf. That's incredibly tone deaf. There was only one infallible person and that was Christ. Just... It just kind of shocks me. Can have that big ceremony about climate change, but you have someone who's literally martyred for faith and there's not really anything on that. I think that that speaks to a problem that a lot of churches have right now. We talked about that a few weeks ago. Still haven't found a new church yet, but we're ongoing. And we're Church of Christ, so it'll be Church of Christ. But the... idea that I just was shocked to hear that. Because they're two entirely different things. Two entirely different things. If the church is in trouble, it will be by its own hand. It will be. And these are grotesque. That comparison was so grotesquely oversimplified. And it's such a completely vastly different comparison. Variables that are being compared there. And like I said, these are not complex issues. You cannot compare the ending of an infant's life in utero to just capital punishment against someone who of their free will exercised behavior that caused such heinousness and such irreparable harm and ended someone else's life. Those are not things that you can compare. It's beyond. Man, Robert Sarah could have had could have had Pope Sarah. Well, that wouldn't have been his name. He'd have picked a different name. But, you know, our friends over at Relief Factor, a lot of people deal with inflammation. Doesn't matter if you're in your 20s or your 70s.

SPEAKER 05 : 85:04

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

SPEAKER 16 : 85:08

I'm still trying to get over a Maxwell apartment. Because of Maxwell House Coffee, they're changing it from house to apartment. I'm not kidding you. You guys thought I was joking. Like, I already got two emails. And then I got a ton of messages. Are you serious? I think that's a meme. I swear to you, it's real. I told you no one was going to believe me. That's real. It's real. I'm not making it up to just, like, react to something. That's actually a real thing. Cain, I swear, swearsies. Oh, man. I'm not pulling your all's leg. I promise you. People were thinking, you're just saying that to react to it on social media. I swear, hands to sky, I'm not. That's a real, they are actually changing it to Maxwell Apartment. Okay, so even flow, ooh, even flow car seats. Who chokes on a car seat? So they're recalling 324,000 even flow car seats for a choking hazard. Apparently the kids can pick off the pieces of the foam and choke to death on them. It's not really made very well. If the baby can pick it apart and choke it up on its own seat. Maybe look into some other options. Let's see. Meta is going to sell targeted ads based on your data in your AI chats. Well, I don't have AI chats. I actually don't have any. The only chat I ever did was I asked AI to make a, like, what do you think I look like? And you know how that's when it made me be a tank with guns for arms. Not even kidding you. That was the only AI chat I had. So I don't, how is this going to work if you don't have that? TechCrunch reported on it. They said that Meta is going to sell targeted ads based on data in your AI chats. So they're updating its privacy policy to reflect this on December 16th, and they're collecting data from your interactions with its AI products, and that's how it's going. So I don't have any. It's not going to have anything to sell me.

SPEAKER 05 : 87:01

They're just going to use the old-fashioned way of just listening in.

SPEAKER 16 : 87:04

Well, they do that anyway. Do you know, sidebar, how I joke? Oh, I need to have my little thing. Hang on, hang on. I need to have my little Faraday envelope. So if I whisper, will it still hear me? So you know how I talked about like chicken pants like as a joke. Literally everything is about chickens and chicken coops and all kinds of stuff. Like chicken nonstop everything. That's all the ads show me. I made one joke about one video and from now on I'm just besieged by chicken stuff ads. Okay, back to normal. I'm not kidding you. I'm like terrified to talk about my phone. You say one thing and then it shows you a bunch of stupid ads that you don't want. All right. So a drone pilot was sentenced to jail and he's got one hundred fifty six thousand dollar fine after he literally collided with an L.A. firefighting plane. And the guy, this gets even crazier. Apparently, he was the co-founder and developer of Treyarch. That's the COD stuff. And now he's chief technologist or into chief technology at Skydance. Wow, he's a 57-year-old Peter Ackerman. He literally co-founded Call of Duty developer Treyarch. He flew his drone into a firefighting plane. So now he has to pay six figures in restitution, and he has to do 150 hours of community service supporting Southern California wildfire relief. They said he recklessly flew an aircraft into airspace where first responders were risking their lives. I will say... that it seems pretty easy to not hit a giant firefighting plane full of water, right? If you're a drone operator, I have a drone, and it just seems like it's easy to not hit big, giant stuff in a response zone. You know what I'm saying? So, yeah, that one seems a little bit like a cell phone. I got to be honest. And a mother electrocuted herself while holding her iPhone as it charged in the bath. So don't do that. This was in the UK. We have more on the way. Stick with us. Our partners that bring you the program. Patriot Mobile is the only Christian conservative cell phone service provider. That exists. And I'm going to tell you, people are out there canceling their Netflix accounts. Have you thought about canceling your existing cell phone provider and switching over to Patriot Mobile? Because if you haven't, you might as well just stay with Netflix because you're spending more money on that kind of stuff with your current mobile provider than you would by paying for a Netflix subscription. And those are hashtag facts. So with Patriot Mobile, Not only are you going to get the most reliable nationwide coverage with access to all three major U.S. networks, you're not compromising on quality for your values. You're enjoying flexible, unlimited data plans, mobile hotspots, international roaming. I mean, I've used my service all over the world and I've never had an issue. It's so easy to switch. You don't have to go in and make a store visit. You can keep your phone and keep your number, and they can do fast activation by phone with their 100% U.S.-based support team. You can do it right from your sofa or your desk. It does not matter. Veterans and first responders receive 15% off their bill every month, but the kicker? is that you are not supporting the things that you vote against every time you go to the ballot box. You're not supporting DEI or CRT or gun control or any of this other nonsense. You're actually putting momentum behind the issues that are precious to you. And you're also supporting a company that... shares your views and is like-minded. And that's incredibly important because your money is your vote and it's a sign of support. So if you are canceling Netflix over a couple of shows that aren't even in production anymore and you're not switching your cell phone service provider, I can't really take you seriously. You got to switch today. PatriotMobile.com slash Dana. And when you use promo code Dana, you get a free month of service on top of all of it. Also call 972-PATRIOT. Get started today.

SPEAKER 04 : 91:14

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 : 91:26

In terms of health care, the reality is they're just not being honest. The amount of money that actually is going towards people who are undocumented is such a small portion of the Medicaid cuts or the Affordable Care Act, if at all. And so we can argue that point. But the reality that even you're just saying that it is that anyone who looks.

SPEAKER 16 : 91:49

So wait. The goalposts are moving. First, they said, no, no, no, no money is going towards them. And now they're like, well, just a small amount. Yes, hundreds of billions of dollars apparently is considered a small amount. I mean, this is the Federation for American Immigration Reform. In 2023, they found $66.4 billion that were spent on illegal aliens. And of those federal expenditures attributable to illegal aliens, they said it's staggering. It's an increase of 45% since 2017, and this is from 2023. So you're looking upwards of like $3,500 per illegal alien per year. in terms of money that they receive for free, taxpayer money for health care.

SPEAKER 05 : 92:35

Yeah, the weird thing is it all started with, it's not happening. That's not happening at all. And then now here we are, step two, which they've cleared, which is, yeah, it's happening, but it's really not that big deal. Now it's going to be, oh, it's a good thing, actually. Actually, it's a good thing. We're almost there. That's coming. We're almost at that step.

SPEAKER 16 : 92:52

Yeah, we're almost there. We're almost there. I wanted to share with you this story that I had that I wasn't able to get because I was trying to get this story open in our lawlessness and disorder. That's how I had it filed under this because I have some lawlessness and disorder. But this story, I don't know if you've heard of this. The guy's name is Courtney Boos. He's a 41-year-old man from Indianapolis. Now, I don't know. Let me just share with you, Cain, the mugshot. 41. Dude, 41 years old. So he was arrested on Monday because he stabbed a 69 year old man at a gas station in Indiana. The man was critically injured. It was about almost midnight per the Lawrence Police Department. Now, the reason why this story got so why it blew up. is because the guy was arrested. He had 100 priors. Actually, technically, it's approximately 99 times he has been arrested. He has other violent arrests. He's had drug crimes, theft, battery assault, all kinds of stuff. So, yeah, a lot of people are asking, how in the world is this guy... With that huge of a violent rap sheet. Why is this? What in the world? The guy stabbed his victim with a pocket knife and police found the bloodstained knife. They found bags of cocaine on him when he was arrested. And wow. I mean. This is I'm just trying to understand that is that's a lot of prior arrests. That is and he's he's had convictions, too. He's also you know, I mean, he's a repeat violent offender. He's a prohibited possessor. At some point, you have to ask yourself. Is it a justice system or is it a rewards program? Right. I just think about this. I just this is asinine. This is the system. So people like TPUSA get put on extremist list by groups that collude with the FBI under Biden Harris. This guy has approximately 99 arrests. He's got tons of different of other convictions, assault, battery, violent crimes. Oh, my gosh. This is restorative justice. This is how that Ukrainian woman, this is how people like that get stabbed to death on subways. It's just, this is, wow. And by the way, in Indiana, he apparently was arrested. He was, yeah, assault, battery, all kinds of stuff. In Memphis, this goes, I mean, I have a long list of people that have like 50 priors, etc. This guy stabbed a cop. I mean, I could sit here and we could finish out the rest of the show with this kind of stuff. Now, adding to the lawlessness and disorder, bike thefts at stations have been decriminalized. This is an actual story. This is in Britain now. So it's not just the United States. This is in Western nations where police are told to just accept start accepting crimes. The British Transport Police, they're not investigating bike thefts outside of stations anymore. Where any station where a bicycle has been left for more than two hours, they're not going to get involved. So and CCTV footage will not be looked at. Doesn't matter if you chain your bike up. Apparently, it's only a crime if it's within the two-hour window. So, yeah, the bike thefts will still happen, but the numbers will go down. And then they'll parrot that, like, oh, look, we were able to reduce crime with this, in this manner. We're able to reduce crime. The problem is that A lot of commuters will ride their bikes to the train station and then they chain them up with the expectation that that bike will be there to get them home when they return. Most people came a workday is typically longer than two hours. So you are not they pay taxes to support law enforcement. And politicians and the politicians now are telling law enforcement and the transport police over there, we're just not going to look at it anymore, so you're screwed.

SPEAKER 05 : 97:40

They pay so much in taxes, they can't afford a car.

SPEAKER 16 : 97:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER 05 : 97:43

This is where we are, or where they are specifically.

SPEAKER 16 : 97:47

Just unbelievable. But this is, wow. And by the way, they're appointed, so the people who... The British Transport Police are apparently appointed by their Secretary of State for Transport over there. So it's like our Department of Transportation guy over here. So they appoint them. But they're decriminalizing it. So it's not a crime. So long as you wait outside that two-hour period, those are bikes, free bikes. Now, how do they even know? Here's the other thing. How do they know whether or not they're left outside for more than two hours? They said they're not even going to look at CCTV footage. How do they even know? So the majority of bike thefts now, they said commuters, there's thousands of commuters that do this every day. That will take the train in the UK every day. And the British Transport Police said the more time our officers spend reviewing CCTV, the less time they have for patrolling stations, etc. Oh, my gosh. They were interviewing, the BBC was interviewing some of these people who said they repeatedly had bikes stolen. So they just get, you know, cheap. crappy bikes because they get stolen and then it's kind of it's a hardship when they get back when they commute back home they get on the train and they get back to the platform and they have no way to get home so they have to figure out how they're going to get back to their you know it's either a very very long walk or they got to figure out you know a ride to get back home that's that's insane That's crazy. But this is lawlessness and disorder. And then they wonder what they'll arrest you for a tweet. But screw your bike or your property. They will literally arrest you if you make fun of someone over in the UK. They will absolutely arrest you. If you make a joke like that one 13 year old girl did about a female officer looking like a lesbian and her grandmother was a lesbian and she just said that they both had short hair and that was it. And they came to the house to arrest her. Insane. Insane. They can't help stop child trafficking in Rotherham over there when you have Pakistani grooming gangs that forcibly, they take these young girls and they force them into human trafficking. They won't look at that. They're not going to do anything. Good heavens. It's just horrible. The EV tax credit is dead. Ooh, what does that mean? There's a really interesting piece over legal insurrection that gets into it. But yes, it's all about free market now. It's official. The EV tax credit is gone. This greeny fever dream. And the tax and spending packages that was passed, and this is from AP, passed in early July, brought an early end to the federal EV tax credits, $7,500 for new electric vehicles, $4,000 for used ones. And the credits end September 30th. Buyers will have to have a binding contract in place even if the vehicle is delivered later. So sales of EVs actually increased. according to Cars Commerce. They said that vehicles under $25,000, the ones that are potentially eligible, those were the ones that were selling quickly. And Tesla had a surprise gain, according to Bloomberg. I noticed this as well. But a lot of these vehicles, though, were beyond that tax credit. So that was kind of an interesting little outlier there. But this EV market, this is not free market. Not a free market structure or scheme at all. And I'm just, you know, I'm kind of wondering, all of the automakers, this is a piece from Reuters that discusses how the end of the EV tax subsidy sparks worries of a collapse in U.S. electric car sales. We'll just make better cars. If you make good cars and the market likes it, the market will buy it. How in the hell are people not understanding cause and effect and supply and demand? Oh, my gosh. This they were there and they're there. They're saying, oh, my gosh, we're bracing for freefall. And remember, all these companies, because Biden was threatening to make everything electric powered by whatever, they were moving to replace the traditionally fueled vehicles, which, by the way, that stuff is never the periodic table proves that that stuff is never going to be depleted. It's always replenishing the stuff that makes the stuff is from the earth. Stop. All of these manufacturers were rushing to replace that with EVs that nobody wanted to buy. And so you had, who was the Japanese carmaker that was like, we're done with this. We're not doing the EV anymore. Was it Nissan? I can't remember. Yeah, one of them were like, we're done with this. We're done flirting around with this. So they said that they're bracing. If you make a good vehicle, it's going to sell. End of. Juan says it wasn't. Yeah, it wasn't wasn't Toyota. One of them, they they decided to stop experimenting with it because their cars weren't moving. If they make good vehicles, they'll sell like people bought the Cybertrucks because they looked like a child's drawing. And then people bought the electric Hummer because it could do the crab walk. Right. So I don't I don't know. But I don't think it's going to be a collapse of them as long as they're they're good made vehicles. They're well made. People are going to buy them. I just don't like EVs.

SPEAKER 05 : 103:12

I mean, people are now seeing the replacement batteries they have to put in there at 12, 15,000, $16,000 to do this. You could get a car for that or less.

SPEAKER 16 : 103:23

Well, in many instances, they're more expensive than the damn car itself or as expensive. It's insane. People can't afford that right now. You can't have taxpayers prop up a market or prop up an industry. The industry has to be able to compete on its own merit. And if they can't, then that's not the fault of anybody, but the market's not ready for it. Or maybe it's just not a good product. Maybe the timing isn't right. I mean, all of these things factor into it. You can't force it. by demanding that taxpayers prop it up. Because if there's any kind of change, then guess what? All of the house of cards falls down. So if you go and subscribe to my Substack, chapter and verse, one of the things that I'm going to link over is this piece that I've been reading about. And we've talked about this before with Stephen Yates and Taiwan and chip manufacturing. And I know one of the things that POTUS has said is that they're going to try to energize that production here domestically. It's something that we absolutely have to do. But this is a great piece that dives into... the battle for freedom and democracy within the context of AI with these chips as well, with semiconductors. And the thinking, I mean, when you look at it, because Taiwan is the monopoly, I think what, 92% of the world's advanced semiconductor chips are TSMC. So this is, How do we have an American semiconductor manufacturing company? Because Taiwan has a monopoly on it. And we like Taiwan. But the problem is they're 110 miles from the coast of China. China thinks that they're part of them. And this gets into not just A.I., but A.G.I. And, you know, what happens if, you know, ultimately, you know, just imagine if Taiwan was somehow compromised, what that means. That's like, again, such a. When they make of all of the global semiconductors, I think the Arena Magazine says it's like roughly 67% dominates the advanced node sector. It's all used to power the latest AI models. And if you want AI to favor democracy and individual rights, you have to fight who... These chips in the manufacturing and the energy for it, etc, etc. All of this gets into controlling the future of AI. And there is one of the reasons why you see these authoritarian governments that are spending tons of money on this. And I think it's really a huge reason why China wants still wants to maintain Taiwan as well. And as the. The there's a lot of preventative measures that can be taken. It's something we'll talk more about with Steve Yates. But this is a fascinating deep dive into it. And it looks at all the manufacturing. It looks at the infrastructure, absolutely everything. And and also to build these manufacturing facilities, what it requires, like more than just a 20 billion dollar check just to turn the lights on. To create, I mean, is insane. And then I'm not even getting into the regulatory approval of all of, I mean, I'm like still scrolling through all the requirements for that. The bureaucracy is insane. So this is, I'm going to link this in. It's a really good read. And I would highly encourage you to check it out because this is, I think, one of the most important topics. ever one of the i think it's the most probably the most important topic of our time right now and it seems like it's so far off and it seems very abstract but it's not and literally the future of freedom is at stake with this and and people don't realize it you know we joke about ai and we make memes and all this stuff but um this is the fight for the future is already happening and it's in within ai uh and the manufacturing all of that came today in stupidity

SPEAKER 05 : 107:35

All right, Juan, this is cut 22. And Dana, if I were to ask you, when you talk about socialism, what does it always graduate to?

SPEAKER 16 : 107:44

Communism. Marxism. Full tyranny.

SPEAKER 05 : 107:46

Exactly. Let's hear this.

SPEAKER 15 : 107:48

Number one, he's attacking you as a communist, are you?

SPEAKER 21 : 107:52

No, I'm a democratic socialist. That means I believe in dignity for all people. Okay, that's so stupid.

SPEAKER 16 : 107:56

Democrat socialist is only different from socialist in that they're both turds and then you put glitter on one. That's the Democratic Socialist.

SPEAKER 05 : 108:03

Mom Downey's Socialism.

SPEAKER 16 : 108:05

Yeah, that's how that works. That's what that means. Folks, that does it for us today. Find us over at Substack, chapter and verse. And then you can also find us on YouTube and Facebook. Like and subscribe. I will be back with you to finish out the week tomorrow. Have a great evening.
