SPEAKER 08 :
This is the absolute triumph and takeover of the Republican Party by mega. And it will be the takeover of the U.S. government by mega if the Senate lets all of these people go through.
SPEAKER 01 :
You realize that elections have consequences, right? I mean, they have consequences. And one of the consequences is that you don’t get to make cabinet picks. One of the consequences is that the people who against whom you lost get to make the picks. I mean, that’s that’s the result of not winning your election. That’s the result of that’s what happened with Democrats. So I’m not quite sure that was Jamie Raskin, who is he was complaining about this. I mean, I don’t know what they thought was going to go down, but. You know, this is how it works. And they can bitch and moan and do whatever. But one of the things that they haven’t done as they, you know, somehow console themselves with rage. But it’s it’s just not this is not going to do it for them. This is not what voters are looking for. It’s not the answer. This kind of stuff, because you got to remember that. The blue state, blue state wall, the blue wall voted for this. And what comprises the blue wall? What is the predominant ideology that comprises the blue wall? Well, it’s Democrats. So Democrats voted for this. And that’s the truth of it. Welcome to the program. Dana Lash with you. And we’re at the top of this first hour on Friday as we get ready to go into the weekend and watching all the fights over the cabinet appointments. But we’re going to get into all of that. But I’ve got to go to one of the things that I’ve noticed. This is very interesting. Did you guys do you guys remember? Let’s go back for a When was this? Was it over the summer? It was over the summer and you had the… It was this conference. This conference or whatever that… It wasn’t a Bloomberg Economic Conference. It was the one where Elon Musk was there and Bob Iger apparently had spoke the day before. Bob Iger, who’s the executive over at Disney. Anyway, I think it was in August. And… I can’t play it on air, but we got that famous soundbite from Elon Musk. You remember that soundbite came, right? Where he was specifically talking about all of the companies that had threatened to pull their advertising from X. And it was these companies. It was Disney that led the charge. It was Disney. It was Comcast. It was IBM. It was all of these companies that said that they were going to pull their ads from X. They were going to boycott the platform. And this was after, I think it was after one of the reinstatements that Musk said that he was going to announce. Well, I don’t know if you guys noticed this. I posted about it yesterday, but now Disney is advertising again. And the reason we can’t play that soundbite is because Elon Musk told all of them to go do something unflattering to themselves. Hand emphasis. And I guess Bob didn’t want to go blank himself after all. I guess he didn’t want to go blank himself after all. So… They’ve returned to advertising on X. I saw this story over at Adweek. And it’s not just Disney. It’s Comcast. And Disney. And IBM. and all of these are turning back. They’re turning the ads on again on X. Now, they are resuming it. Lionsgate, Comcast, Warner Brothers, they’ve resumed the ad spending. Now, it’s at a lower rate than it was previously, but they’ve resumed it nonetheless. And that was this stupid story. If you guys remember, It was the stupid story that came out where they were saying that their ads were coming up alongside of like anti-Semitic content. It was basically trolls and what they call fecal posters, but you can’t, it’s with the ship part. And they were upset over their content showing up on the site like that. I guess somebody didn’t explain to them how X works. I mean, you can have trolls, you can have all kinds of content that comes up. Furthermore, I think that when people were researching the ads coming up, I think they were actually researching like terms with the companies. I think that they were trying to get screenshots to show without showing that they were doing, they were manipulating the search that the ads were coming up across this type of content, right? So they had, oh my gosh, like all kinds of companies. And they were trying to say that this is what the companies are paying for. Now, X, when they find accounts that violate the terms of service, they suspend those accounts, right? There are accounts that get, you know, troll accounts that get suspended all the time. They get suspended. And so these companies then decided that they were going to stop their spending on X because of that. So this whole idiotic narrative that came out I think it was manufactured to hurt X’s ad revenue. And then as it turns out, now they’re coming back anyway. Because, Cain, I guess they didn’t want to go do something unflattering to themselves. I guess that was the real truth of it. You knew they were going to come back. You knew it was just a matter of time. But that was just like one of the latest things. And I saw that. I’m like, well, is that a sign? And maybe I’m looking too much into it. But is that a sign that maybe… Maybe there’s a pendulum swing to normalcy. Now, I know the pendulum can then, if it goes too far one way, it can go too far the other way. But can the pendulum just stop swinging for a moment and sit in the middle? Is that where we are? Because it feels like The left realizes what they’ve done, but they won’t verbalize it. They realize they’ve gone too far. Notice how you haven’t seen any of this push for this DEI stuff or anything like this. I was anticipating, in a way, I was halfway anticipating after the election, there to be a segment of the left that lost their minds and was going to do this huge push to… DEI and all of that stuff because they were going to use the excuse. We’re under attack. We’re under attack. You know, like we’ve got to we’ve got to double down and do it even more. But that’s I haven’t seen that kind of you.
SPEAKER 1 :
Hmm.
SPEAKER 01 :
Hmm. It’s almost like maybe they realize some of them anyway, not all, but some of them have realized that maybe it was a little too much. Maybe it was a little too much. So that’s one of the I just saw this from Disney. I thought this was absolutely fascinated me because I this was they were walking back hat in hand. This was an apology. This was a white flag of surrender. That’s exactly what this was. So I’ll take that. I’ll take that because they realize they want to be where people can see them. And I think X had record usage. I’d like to see, honestly, and I don’t think this has been made available. I would like to see the increase in users and like new accounts from like now to maybe a year ago or two years ago. Now, the cabinet picks. So we had RFK Jr. announced as HHS. Now, I am of two minds on this. I’m of two minds on this. I agree with him on the VAC stuff. And I think so long as he’s siloed specifically just to look at the VAC stuff and big pharma, I’m OK with that. But this is where I get and I’ve written about this over at Substack. This is where I do get a little concerned. So let me let me walk it back for you so I can give you my full perspective and explain why. Do you remember back six years ago? When gun control advocates got the idea to pressure the CDC to classify, quote unquote, gun violence as a health issue. Not a crime issue, but a health issue. Right. And you had the Everytown and the Moms Demand, all the Bloomberg groups. They were really trying to pressure the CDC to do this. And they were lying there. and telling you that the CDC was prevented from examining any of this stuff, when that wasn’t the case at all. The law just said you can’t use taxpayer money to advocate either for or against gun ownership or Second Amendment issues. That wasn’t good enough for them. So they decided they were really going to try to push this. They even were able to pressure the CDC, if you remember, in removing… in removing the defensive gun usages from the CDC’s website. And so I kept that in mind when I was looking at all of this, because that’s a case of the CDC going beyond what the CDC was supposed to be doing. Or, don’t even use that, use the rent moratorium. Remember during COVID, the CDC, and later after it was litigated and people were hurt because they weren’t getting money for their properties. Remember the CDC was telling people, no, no, no, you have to suspend rent. Remember the rent moratorium? You have to suspend rent. It was a real thing. Okay, so I get a little nervous about departments going beyond their intended purpose. So that brings me back to the RFK thing. I’m fine if it’s siloed, if he is specifically siloed and we don’t have any kind of concern of him going beyond the big pharma, the big this, all of it. But the issue that I have is, is he going to just stick to that? Because if you remember, and I wrote about this, he’s got quite a big slate of opinions on a lot of issues that aren’t traditionally considered maybe MAGA issues. He was kind of odd on gun control. He sort of walked back from it. I’ll give him that. But he was a big climate change guy. He had said that industries like Coke and Exxon should be, quote, put to corporate death. He said that global warming deniers were traitors and that they and coal companies should be in jail for all of eternity. I have this over at Substack, the video of him saying it. And that’s not something from eons ago. That’s like a handful of years ago. And I’m not even going to get into 2004 when he was denying the election results. Now, you can say that people change and I’m fine with this. But when you argue that, you also need to provide people who are aware of past statements with assurances that that isn’t going to bleed over into his actions. Scope at HHS the way that the CDC has been weaponized before or the way that these other agencies have been weaponized before. Does that make sense? Because we have seen people who have been very, very zealous about issues go above and beyond their purview. And if he stays siloed specifically on one thing, fine. But I get a little nervous about that because what happens if you remember there was a big push for climate change to try to push that under a health issue as well. Remember, they were trying to say it was disproportionately affecting minority neighborhoods. They were trying to make that a big health issue. So there’s that’s the concern that I have with it. This also comes down to when you build a coalition and not everyone agrees on everything. And some of the issues that we disagree on are a little big, I would think. But I just would like some assurances. And I don’t think that that is too big for anyone to ask. Correct? We got a lot to hit. We got other cabinet stuff. Tom Homan is going to be joining us later on. Here’s the borders are. I think cartels are getting a little nervous. We’re going to talk about all of that and more here coming up as we move.

SPEAKER 06 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick 5.
SPEAKER 01 :
It’s Friday. Half of you are off or like already starting your eggnog. Let’s be real. You guys want the holidays early. We missed the doot-doot part of the Duran Duran song coming in for Bumper. Because you always have to karaoke. Harmonies are important here. The doot-doots. That’s a thing. All right. So let’s move on to the meat and potatoes. I don’t even know how to present this. So this is our Vegas Larry who sent this story. And I am… I’m… Okay, a Frontier passenger had hot tea, and he spilled it, and he’s suing because he got third-degree burns and disfiguring scars on his male copulatory organs, his Franken-beans, if you will, after he spilled hot tea on his lap. He was flying home. He spilled the drink, filled with a brim, and it did a lot of things to his male copulatory organ region. He had to get an ambulance as soon as they touched down, and he had to go get treated for severe third-degree burns. He suffered a herniated disc while writhing in agony. That actually had to be pretty bad. He requested hot tea, but he said it was handed to him in a highly negligent fashion, filled to the brim without any form of a lid, unsafely and unreasonably high temperature. Can I just say also that maybe there’s an argument there. He only wants $150,000. Oh. Well, think of his hospital bill and the ambulance ride and all that. But I will say, this is why you don’t get hot drinks on planes then. I do not order a hot drink on a plane. You know why? Because stuff like this. And I don’t even have male copulatory organs. I just, I don’t want to run the risk of it. You know what I mean? I don’t want to run the risk. CNN’s shocking low ratings are revealed. The staff is bracing for massive layoffs. massive layoffs. They don’t know what they’re going to do. Their shows, they’ve been getting maybe 60,000 viewers in their demo on Tuesday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. That is unbelievable. Oh my gosh. I don’t even know how they… A baby red panda? It died. It died because of stress caused by fireworks. There are little jittery things, apparently. A baby red panda had a seizure and choked on its own vomit five days after it lost its mother, according to an animal rights group. They said its name was Roxy and it was stress caused by fireworks let off. And then the people are like, well, we need it. It was Guy Fawkes night. It’s in the UK. And they were like, well, maybe we need to look at fireworks or maybe you need to do a better job of soothing your red panda. Is it a panda or is it like a fox? I don’t know.

SPEAKER 01 :
Welcome back to the program. Your retired goth host here, Dana Lash, coming in with a little Depeche Mode if you’re listening terrestrially. I don’t think you hear it, though, on the simulcast. We always have really good bumper tunage. So good to be with you. Bottom of this first hour, Channel 347, DirecTV as well. All good things. All good things. So we were talking a little bit about the cabinet picks, and I watched – they’re still trying to figure out Pete Hegseth. Everybody’s losing their minds over Matt Gaetz. If you get the prep, I sent some stuff out, including… Now, I just sent it out because I don’t care what your opinion of Gaetz is. It was an entertaining read. Ben Domenech over at The Federalist had a piece out. And he’s a pretty pro Trump dude. So you can’t say that of him. I think he just think he doesn’t like Matt Gaetz. I just, you know, put it like that. But they’re the woman that that testified to the House Ethics Committee. This is the story. And just let me set you up with this. And I’m not going I’m going to kind of take Andy McCarthy’s approach. Because I’ll tell you what the accusations are, but unless there are convictions, you know, but there’s a reason kind of why something wasn’t pursued. So the woman who testified to the House Ethics Committee was claiming that Gates got it on with her when she was 17. And then the DOJ declined to pursue the case. Well, they declined to press charges is what they did. They pursued the case. They declined to press charges because they said that they were concerned about securing a conviction because they couldn’t prove that Gates and the others knew that the woman was underage at the time. Lorraine reminded me last night. I was doing some work and she was in Slack. She reminded me of, do you remember the Madison Cawthorn thing? Now, I’m not saying, I’m just throwing things out to you because I’m looking at all my puzzle pieces on the table, right? I’m putting together one of them thousand piece puzzles, right? And you’re looking, you’re just looking around and you find this one piece and you’re like, what is this? Do you remember when Madison Cawthorn got made fun of because he said that there were some shenanigans going down in D.C. of the sexual variety, S-E-C-K-S-H-U-L. Remember that? He was the youngest person ever served in Congress. And you guys, you might, Madison Cawthorn was in a wheelchair. You guys might remember him. And he was very popular with the ladies. And he apparently said that they went after him and made fun of him after he called Zelinsky a thug. And then they lost their minds and all this oppo came out. So he had said that apparently there he was invited to an orgy in D.C. and he just could not believe that that stuff happened in D.C. Sweet summer child. Yeah. So the rumor was that he was one of the ones that maybe kind of said something about Gates. I don’t know. There’s a lot of rumors going around. This is like a soap opera. It is. Now, he’s already resigned his piece from Congress. You’re not talking bad about a lawmaker anymore. But… The story around Gates, that House Ethics Report was going to come out, and him resigning Congress so quickly now means that he is not under the purview of the House Ethics Committee anymore. I am leaning more and more, honestly, towards… And I always kind of joke and say people talk about 4-D chess and it’s not 4-D chess. This actually might be 4-D chess. I kind of get the sense that… Trump didn’t want to have to drag him. And so he’s going to let him go through the process and not say anything. So it can look like he’s standing by him, but he’s kind of getting rid of him at the same time because they’re guys. I met him one time. I don’t know people’s history. I can only tell you what I hear. And I’ve heard a lot. Now, whether there’s fire with the smoke, I guess that report or any kind of investigation, I don’t know. But the reason that the DOJ didn’t pursue it isn’t because there wasn’t anything apparently that didn’t happen. It was because they could not prove that he knew he and others, and I don’t know who the others are, that she was underage. That’s all I know. I can’t even read Ben Dominic’s piece on air. Kane’s, like, about to die. I have it open, but I’m not going to read it, Kane. Especially this, like, first sentence. Or the second one. What are you doing? Eve, regardless of whether or not you like him, can I just… And don’t get mad at me. This is just creative. To say that someone smells like overexposed Axe body spray and stale Astroglide. Oh, gosh. Because you all know I love a petty put-down. Oh. And I’m even more impressed when a man does it. Because men don’t get catty like that very rarely. That was impressive. That was impressive. So anyway, I don’t know. I’m just putting out there what I hear. I’m not telling you what to think. And I don’t care if you disregard all of it. But I want to give you insight as to why this drama is happening. So there’s a lot of drama. There’s always drama in D.C. And I hear about it from everybody. There’s always some kind of like real housewives of the capital always happening. And they’re all housewives in this scenario. So is Dick Durbin has demanded that the House ethics panel share that report with the Senate. I don’t know if he’s going to get it, but that’s what they’ve said. So when I say that, you know, that this might actually be for I really do mean it. I think this actually might be 40 chess because just some of the stuff that I’ve been hearing. I Trump’s got new people around him this time, and I will say for the criticism that some people want to give Susie Wiles, I will say. I think that she’s pretty strict on some of this stuff, which is why you saw a more disciplined campaign this time around. Not to say anything about the people who ran his campaign in 2016, but maybe from 2020, I think that’s why you see more disciplined campaign. So I just sort of feel like that’s kind of what this maneuvering may be. Now that being said, to some of these other cabinet picks, all good. We got Tom Holman who’s going to be on later in the program. And I am positively giddy with the – nobody even knows what to say about Tom Holman and his borders are. They act like he is like some Viking that’s going to go down to the border and like with one giant axe the size of – Thor, he’s going to go and just in one in one cleave swing clear the field. I don’t know. It’s hysterical. We’re going to have him on later, though. But RFK Jr., I will say one more last thing about that. And I just as long as we can silo things off. because it’s not my pick, as long as we can silo things off, then I think that… But there are some questions. Like, he’s a very… He’s not a very pro-life dude. And I just want to make sure that abortion doesn’t get included as an activist thing for him in Health and Human Services. Because remember, HHS is the largest department in the federal government. It is the biggest. And I think… So… Phil Klein said that one out of every four dollars, and then this is over at USAspending.gov, one out of every, actually more than one out of every four dollars in the budget goes to HHS. Because you have Obamacare, you have Medicaid, you have Medicare. All of that. And with the passage of Obamacare, you didn’t just get government health care. You also had a significant amount of regulatory power that was reallocated to the Secretary of Health and Human Services. And That’s how when you talk about policy in terms of abortion on demand and all this stuff, all of that happens through HHS. I mean, RFK Jr. said, and this was NBC, and the date was May 9th, 2024. He was doing an interview with Sage Steele. And he was asked if there should be a limit for women to have an abortion or go all the way to full term. He said that he doesn’t think anyone would want to do that at eight months of pregnancy. But, quote, even if it’s full term, he says, I think we have to leave it to the women rather than the state. So just that’s a that’s a concern. That is a legitimate concern. And remember, he’s coming, and it’s great to have a coalition, but here’s where the 20% of the 80-20 rule starts to be a stickler. What if he doesn’t agree with you on abortion, and he also thinks that it should be treated as a healthcare issue? The way that the left says. What if there’s money, and this is all plausible. I’m not saying it’s going to happen, but you have to, this is, it is reasonable and responsible to speculate with every nominee. Is that something that he is going to oppose or facilitate as head of HHS? He was someone who said he in the past, he totally supported single payer health care. He said that he said that you need to have a single program available to everybody. Well, that’s government run health care. That’s Obamacare. That’s part of the problem with health care right now. Anybody who has had to go from their nice plan to the crappy Obamacare, you know, it’s garbage. And it’s expensive garbage, too, on top of it. So that’s an issue. And he’s going to be running HHS. So that’s… I mean, Cain, I think it’s reasonable, right, that I’m just raising these as potential concerns.
SPEAKER 06 :
Look, having concerns before, you know, doing a little future tripping, I get it. I just think on a federal level that the abortion thing is not, it doesn’t exist anymore on a federal level.
SPEAKER 01 :
Well, when states get federal grants, it can, yeah.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, like they, of course, you know, I guess have to do what the state says. Do you have to do what the federal government says if you’re receiving federal money?
SPEAKER 01 :
Unless you’re incentivizing it. Remember how the DOJ was incentivizing participation in maximum mandatory instead of minimum mandatory? Yeah, and so I… what was it, the exile program?
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, and so although I agree with being cautious, I have no problem with that at all, I think that there is something here that is probably a little more valuable to the American people than the way the status quo has been going and the way things have been going.
SPEAKER 01 :
I mean, I’m just saying, I’m not, I am not saying that I oppose him as HHS secretary. I’m trying to find assurances that I don’t want these departments to, because, well, or continued to be weaponized. What am I talking about? They’re already weaponized. Continued in the weaponization.
SPEAKER 06 :
And I think that that is something that we’ve seen the left do and big pharma do. And I don’t see this administration or the picks that he has made.
SPEAKER 01 :
As long as he can come forward and tell me, look, Yes, I agree. These are huge HHS issues that I am completely not even in the same universe on with MAGA, by the way, or the Republican Party platform, however you want to put it. As long as he can say my focus, I mean, if we’re going to make it a singular thing with, you know, pharma and all of that. I just want that assurance. And I want him to give assurances that none of my outside of that, my views, which still trend super left on this. He needs to say my views, which are still left, are not going to be involved in the day to day or any part of the regulatory activities of these. And I think that’s like a fair request.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah. And it’s easy for him to be able to do that. I just think that I don’t think Trump has given him a rogue green light. I think that everything that he does through that agency has to be green, green lit through Trump. And so that’s why I have less of a concern, although it’s understandable to have the concern.
SPEAKER 01 :
Yeah. I mean, it’ll be I mean, it’s going to be interesting to see because it is an outside of the box thing. It will be interesting to see. So we have a number of other things to get into. We’re going to talk the latest about the Daniel Penny case, because the way that they the way that the state. railroaded him is a horrible miscarriage of justice. It is a horrible miscarriage of justice. Of course, you know, it’s the same state that did what it did to Dexter Taylor as well. So we’re going to get into all of that. We have days of these United States also on the way. Our partners over at Burna Gunn. B-Y-R-N-A. It’s a non-firearm firearm. So, burn a gun is an effective deterrent when all of your options are limited, not by your choice. Like, I’m always going to tell people to carry. I’m always going to tell them, you know, I have zero issue at all whatsoever using lethal force to protect myself or my loved ones. But a lot of times, you are really limited where you can carry and where you cannot. And I have friends who live in D.C. and in New York, and the nature of their work requires them to be in places where they can’t carry. And so one of my friends in D.C. and my one in New York just did as well. They went and got the Burna SD. That’s the most popular best selling model that Burna has. Burna, what it is, is it’s it’s it shoots. It’s a it’s a defensive deterrent and it shoots chemical projectiles, chemical irritant projectiles that can deter, that can stop threats from up to 50 feet away. And when you compare it to stun guns, they only have like one or two rounds. The Burna SD has five. And there’s no waiting period. There’s no background check. It’s legal in all 50 states. And it doesn’t care about the gun-free zone signs. Like I said, it’s a non-firearm firearm. So you don’t have to give up your right of self-defense. Just diversify your options. And that’s what Berna offers. To learn more about the Berna gun, visit Berna.com slash Dana for 10% off your purchase. That’s B-Y-R-N-A.com slash Dana for 10% off.

But don’t tell nobody as I’m on a stage in front of a microphone. That’s funny. Was he going to say it rhymes with Burgum? He just doesn’t care. I’m sure they were like, don’t announce it tonight. And he’s like, no, I’m doing it. It’s that guy right there, Doug Burgum, and his wife, Catherine. It’s him. He’s coming up. You know, might be Department of Interior, you know, to do some great things. Because, you know, they like to get the statements out, and they want to get ahead of, like, any media. And that’s just funny. He’s just going to announce it. Cain was cracking up over there. It’s funny. He’s going to announce it. I… Is he… He and Eugene… Levy. What? Levy? I think it’s Levy. Is it Levy?
SPEAKER 06 :
I thought it was Levy. It’s not Levy?
SPEAKER 01 :
I swear I think it’s Levy. Eugene Levy? It’s not? Steve and I both think it’s Levy.
SPEAKER 06 :
What? Steve thinks it’s Levy.
SPEAKER 01 :
No, he doesn’t. Steve, what do you think? Steve, weigh in on this. Hang on. Yeah.
SPEAKER 06 :
Is it Levy? All right.
SPEAKER 01 :
I’m going to look into it right now. So, oh, no. Yeah. Is it Levy or Levy? It might be Levy. I don’t know. Anyway. He has not been seen in the same room with Doug Burgum because they think they share eyebrows. He’s very expressive. He’s got those very thick eyebrows. So does Doug Burgum. That was funny, though. Yeah, we’re going to announce somebody. He’s going to run for… It rhymes with Doug Burgum. It’s Doug Burgum. In case you guys didn’t know. So coming up. We have a few things. Rand Paul, he calls it the Festivus Report. He’s aired his grievances over $482 billion worth of federal waste. Okay, just let me give you some of the highlights. Hamsters on steroids, puppies on cocaine, and drunk mice. For real. Wait until you hear what you spend your money on. Just wait. Just wait. I know. You’re going to be so excited. I know. We got all that and a lot more coming up. Second hour on the way.
SPEAKER 13 :
By the way, it’s Eugene Levy. We’re all wrong.
SPEAKER 01 :
Okay. Partners over at Preborn. It’s a new partner to the program and they save lives. They help women. who are at a crucial crossroads that are determining whether or not they’re going to have their baby. And pre-born clinics have counseled over half a million women who have been considering abortion. More than 300,000 babies have been saved. Over 80,000 women have come to Christ. And every day, pre-born network clinics rescue 200 babies from abortion. And they do this beyond even ultrasounds, because you can help provide ultrasounds so these women can see their babies. And that increases, I mean, a baby’s chance of life doubles when that happens. But they go beyond even that. These clinics partner with mothers who choose life, and they help with maternity, baby clothes, car seats, diapers, counseling, so much more. And all of these services are provided free of charge up to the toddler year. So that’s pretty significant. You can help. Visit preborn.com slash Dana. $28 sponsors one ultrasound. $140 sponsors five ultrasounds. Any donation helps. And when you sponsor monthly, you will receive ultrasound pictures of babies that you help save.

That’s preborn.com slash Dana. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. We’re at the top of the second hour on Friday. And in Texas, it’s almost fall. It’s 67 degrees. And I have to tell you that because we went from, what, 90 to 89? No, it’s 60 degrees. We don’t know what to do with ourselves right now. So we’ve got a lot of stuff to hit. We’ve got to get into… I’ve got some culture for you. The Daniel Penny case. We’ve got the latest with the cabinet fights. And, oh boy, we’ve got a lot of stuff. A lot of stuff to hit. And then you’ve got… I mean, where… I’m looking at just some of the audio that we have. You also have this, what is it? I don’t even know what, it’s COP29, which I read it as cope when I first saw the headlines about it. I was like, oh, cope, like cope and seethe, ha, ha, ha, ha. But you also have this environmental conference that’s happening. And you have Al Gore over there. Remember him in Bear Pig? He’s over there. So all kinds of stuff. But in the meantime, can we play audio of somebody 24, please? Because I… The left still is not over the election. And then we’re going to get into some of the cabinet picks. And then we’re going to talk about if your dog is racist. So let’s start with Whoopi Goldberg, who’s saying you’re not getting any tail because she’s mad because the way Keynes died, because the way the election went.
SPEAKER 11 :
So there’s we all came. I dare. Yeah. You you didn’t get here by yourself, man. You can’t do this without us. And if we don’t let you, you don’t get it. It’s that simple. It’s that simple.
SPEAKER 01 :
Yeah, it was. Kane asks the question that we all had in our minds. Did someone want any? Because I don’t. Yeah, I’m thinking that nobody wanted any. So why is it? Dare I say? You dare. You dare. Why is it always the ugly chick? For real. Have you seen it? It’s always like these chicks that get out there and they’re like, we’re going to go on a sex strike. Think you already were, hun. Just unintentional. Pretty sure. You don’t have to worry about it. I double dog dare you to say what you just put in Slack.
SPEAKER 06 :
No whoopee for whoopee.
SPEAKER 01 :
Oh my gosh.
SPEAKER 06 :
No whoopee for whoopee.
SPEAKER 01 :
Bye guys. It’s Friday. See you later.
SPEAKER 06 :
Don’t give up.
SPEAKER 01 :
So… The erection. I don’t know.
SPEAKER 13 :
Sorry, I was charging you. Friday.
SPEAKER 01 :
I didn’t say it. Somebody else did. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, so he just… It’s pretty… It’s pretty… Yeah, I don’t think anybody was asking. I don’t think anybody was asking her. Don Lemon, he left X because he was so mad. He got trolled on TikTok literally within hours. That wasn’t like in an hour. Watch. This is Audio Sunbite 22. That’s what’s happening.
SPEAKER 15 :
So all the guys, he’s like, hey, I’m going to reward the guys that helped to get me in. I’m going to get all of the wokeness. You know what? The softness. Some of the LGBTQ. I don’t know if he’s going to have an LGBTQ band, but I’m getting that. He’s getting that out of the military.
SPEAKER 01 :
Is this where he’s doing his show now? Is he just doing a show on Facebook? On TikTok. And then I love that you can put a turkey on it on somebody’s head. I cannot get over the fact that it’s owned by the communist Chinese government. So I’m not on TikTok because of that. But I, you know, I think that’s hysterical, though. They’re very upset, y’all. They’re quite upset. And I just have to say, get over it. They’re still trying to figure out about, I think, some of the cabinet picks. Some of the cabinet picks, I will say, are exactly if you wanted to stick your boot in someone’s backside sideways. That’s kind of how you do it. For the people who get upset, let me just put it like this. For the people who get upset with some of Trump’s picks, you guys could have me for president and I would horrify you. You don’t even know the horrors I would unleash. You don’t even know, man. You do not even know all the people that I would pick for my cabinet. Oh my gosh, it would yell people would just be falling in the aisles. You’d have to get them some smelling salts. That it would be so be happy that it’s not me. See, does that make you does that make some of the drive bys feel better? It could be me. Right? Could be me, but it’s not. So a few things to get into. Audio soundbite one, the discussion of recess appointments. Now, The recess appointments, it is a very complicated. It’s a difficult process to actually get through. They’re not as easy as people think because you have to have all Republicans agree to recess, not just like a minimum. This is John Thune talking about recess appointments as it pertains to the cabinet. And now he’s Senate leader. Audio Summit won.
SPEAKER 12 :
So you’ve said that you would do recess appointments if it came to that. What’s the threshold for getting to that point for recess appointments?
SPEAKER 02 :
Well, what I said is, Brad, and I think this is that all options are on the table, including recess appointments. Hopefully it doesn’t get to that, but we’ll find out fairly quickly whether the Democrats want to play ball or not. And I think part of it is getting these folks will start having confirmation hearings soon as the new Senate is sworn in in January. President takes the oath of office January 20th. By the time he takes the oath of office, hopefully a lot of those nominees will be through their confirmation hearings and will be ready to act on them on the Senate floor. And then it’s a question of how much do the Democrats resist or object or try to block. those nominations from going forward. And we’re going to grind them out. I mean, we’re just going to keep consistently moving and we’ll see what kind of cooperation we get. And then we’ll, you know, like I said, we’ll make decisions about where do we go from there.
SPEAKER 01 :
So the recess appointments, I mean, it’s not a fast track to getting things done. It just really isn’t because you can’t, you have to have all of the Republicans agree if they’re going to go to recess or not. It is, it’s, it’s a lot, uh, it’s a lot more, there’s a lot more to it than just that. And a lot of, you know, like we were talking about with the appointments to these departing house seats, you know, that that’s a special election, uh, with the recess appointments in order to go to recess, you have to have all the Republicans, then it has to be confirmed by the house. Uh, and then, um, it’s a temporary thing that you have to go through the process again. It’s not a way to get past the confirmation process. It’s not. I mean, there are tons of caveats, and that’s not a bug of the system. It’s a feature of the system, if that makes sense. So it’s not necessarily… That’s not necessarily something that I think I would bet on because you’re not going to get all you’re not going to get all these Republicans to go to go for recess. It’s just not going to happen. So I really don’t think it’ll happen. And I also, too, think the recess appointment is kind of a race. The recess. I said this yesterday. That’s back when members of government lived very far away from each other. You didn’t have the Internet. You didn’t have the telephone. It was very there was a reason for it. and I don’t necessarily think that that reason exists anymore. Maybe I’m wrong, but as it is right now, I just don’t think that that reason exists anymore. And so that’s why I said yesterday, maybe that’s something that we should, you know, maybe kind of reevaluate. I don’t know. Maybe kind of look in. But you can’t, you can’t just like reset, like Thune can’t go, okay, I call for a recess and that’s it. That you have to have 60 votes. I mean, And the filibuster also is still comes into effect even with a recess appointment. So you have to have 60 votes. And I just that’s how that works. So I’ve had people ask me a lot about it. And that’s the reality of the situation. So that’s how recess appointment. That’s how the recess appointments work. Now, that being said, I want to switch gears here. Let’s just throw a bomb in it, shall we? Is your dog racist? Is your dog racist? This is where Britain’s going. You think that they got some problems with like immigration issues and some crime lately, right? Britain? But no. What they’re very concerned about, Cain, is whether or not your dog is racist. And of course, they’re very, very, very left leaning whales. They’re trying to make the outdoors more inclusive. And they said that their experts are telling people how to handle awkward incidents because their dogs might be racist. Yeah. And they the experts are trying to defend the dogs and put it all on the owners. By saying, well, there’s a misconception that dogs can display racial prejudice. They react because of lack of experience. And of course, that lack of experience is brought to them came by their owner. And they’re actually saying that you’re being mean to your dog if you live in an area that is predominantly one race over the other and your dog is not used. I am not even making this up. This is where the former a former great empire is now. Labor-run Wales was told to ban dogs from part of the outdoors to help make the outdoors anti-racist. They’re actually pushing this in their Welsh government. I am not making this up. It is a real thing that they’re pushing. And laborers, of course, they’re socialists. They’re far, super far left. So they said that the story goes that according to a report funded by the Welsh government to help steer its anti-racist policy, dog-free zones should be set up to make the outdoor areas more inclusive. Because dogs are racist. Why do you hate dogs, man? It is a taxpayer-funded report. British people paid for this. They paid for it. And one Tory leader, which is their version of conservative, they’re not really over there, says that it was nonsense. And they said that the Welsh government has concluded that ethnic minorities face barriers to the outdoors created by racism. A taxpayer funded report says that minorities feel like they can’t enjoy the outdoors because of racism. I don’t even know. And they said that they did focus groups and they said that one female who is black said that she feels unsafe with the presence of dogs. And I guess that I don’t know. So they they’re actually banning. They’re actually trying to get dogs banned from the countryside in Wales because of this. Like you can’t take your dog. You wouldn’t be able to take your dog to the park. Because it’s racist. I cannot even believe that that’s what they think that their biggest problem is. And they had to spend taxpayer dollars on this. That’s insane. Almost as insane as some of the stuff in the Festivus report. Oh, wait. See, it’s not just Britain. It’s also us. Do you know that we spent $118,000 taxpayer dollars to study whether or not Thanos, right, from Marvel, would actually be able to snap his fingers while wearing the Infinity Gauntlet? Did you know that? $118,000. To study whether or not he could actually… I am not, you guys, hands to sky. To see if he could snap his fingers while wearing the gauntlet. He found… I don’t even want to tell you this. Oh, my gosh. It’s billions upon billions upon billions upon billions. Half a trillion dollars of federal waste. Half a trillion dollars on federal waste. We’re going to go through some of it because… Did you know that the Department of Defense spent $200,000 on Starbucks espresso machines? Not making it up. That’s just some of what we… some of what we know. We got headlines on the way. The P15, it stands for 15 pews. And with Kel-Tec, it’s a great 9mm.

SPEAKER 01 :
So an influencer, which I hate, I hate that whole, got charged with a DUI, is fighting to get back her pet monkey who was found sick and malnourished because she is a horrible person. This Brandy Botello, she’s 30 years old. She’s a three-year-old spider monkey, and she got in a single car crash in Dallas. And she got a DUI, but she said that It wasn’t her fault somehow. But her monkey, she had this monkey that was like taken from her. And she posts photos of him and outfits and that. She doesn’t have permits to keep him, whatever. But the thing, the monkey had fractured bones and it weighed half of what the monkey is supposed to weigh. And the monkey also had rickets. So she was not feeding or taking care of this monkey at all whatsoever. I mean, we saw Chimp Crazy. This chick looks like… Take that damn thing away from her because she wasn’t taking care of it. I mean, if it has broken bones and rickets and it’s half its body weight of a monkey that’s supposed to be that size, take that bees monkey away. I ain’t doing this. That’s horrible. Let’s see here. They’re trying to say that cannabis is causing an alarming rise in cancer birth defects and accelerated aging. Cannabis? I don’t understand that. How? They don’t actually say, they’re like, oh, there’s all kinds of, but the vax was okay. The government injection was totally safe, guys. And cigarettes are mostly okay. Yeah, that’s how that goes. They said, oh, no, like all kinds of bad stuff. Male copulatory organ cancer. You could get it. Birth defects. Missing limbs. Everything. Chromosomal disorders. Everything. From a plant, huh? From cannabis. I’m not a pot person, but some of the arguments are just dumb. Oh, my gosh. So they pulled these Wicked dolls from store shelves because of a really embarrassing error, according to Daily Mail. Now they’re selling for hundreds of dollars on eBay. The Elphaba and Glinda characters. They accidentally came with an adult website link on the packages. So I don’t know how that happened, but they had to take them off the shelves. Stick with us.

SPEAKER 01 :
welcome back daniel ash with you bottom of the second hour and uh stephen chung is going to be the comms director for the president-elect that was just announced we were joking on break because you guys remember one of my favorite skits ever is stefan from snl right where he’s like and the music is dj baby bok choy with knees like biscuits That was actually like the funniest. He’s, he’s a great, he was a great comedian, but we were trying to think like Trump’s cabinet, the way that they’re responding to it. It’s like a, it’s like, um, it’s like a Stefan club from SNL. It’s got everything. Border Thanos, sumos, but had Cubans cross tattoos, spy Moana and a Falconer with a brain worm who fights wheels with chainsaws. It’s funny. You guys know who spy Moana is, right? So welcome back. coming up we got border thanos he’ll be joining us next hour that’s his name now you could call him border czar but he’s border thanos speaking of thanos and here’s the reason why it’s in my head can i just like tell you what you spent your money on real quick i’m so glad to spend so much money in taxes through the hey if they cut two trillion can our taxes go down can they I would like that. They’re hiring people over at their department, over at Doge, but they’re not paying them. They said it’s not, it’s a non-paying job, which I love. That’s yes. So, um, some of this stuff, according to rain, Paul posed with his Festivus grievances about big spending with the most sullen look on his face ever department of defense. And Lorraine was freaking out over this because her husband, uh, what worked in the military and was saying that their computer systems were always like behind the current systems. They spent $200,000 on espresso machines from Starbucks. I don’t, I don’t even know. That’s crazy.
SPEAKER 1 :
$200,000.
SPEAKER 01 :
The Vera Institute of Justice got $168 million to help illegal immigrants avoid deportation. Oh, they’ve gotten over a billion dollars since 2008, that group. So we have been paying over a billion dollars in taxpayer money, our money. You work your butt off and you’re paying money that the government is giving to this group, the Vera Institute of Justice, that has been helping paying for illegal immigrants to skirt deportation. We went to war for less than this during the days of the revolution, I just want to say. They also, our government is obsessed with injecting animals with stuff. So they literally spent $3 million in grants to inject hamsters with steroids and then get them to fight. You know, they wanted to study steroid-induced aggression. I don’t even need steroids. Come and study my aggression. They spent 2.3 million. Oh, is this one of Fauci’s to inject beagle puppies with cocaine? Is that a Fauci study? 1.1 million to get mice drunk. I mean, if you give me a mouse, I’ll get it drunk. I mean, forget giving the mouse a cookie. If you give a mouse a beer, you know. They also studied, by the way, they also spent $689,000 to study parrot romance. It’s a real thing. Romance between parrots. Yes, they did. And then they also spent $187,000 to just confirm that the relationship between kids and their pets is a beneficial one. This is the dumbest stuff I’ve ever heard of. And this is like what? Oh my gosh. I mean, this is crazy. It’s crazy. And they found all kinds of ways to spend money. All kinds of ways. I mean, we spent money on some of the dumbest stuff. I mean, I’m looking down the list. Some of it’s just completely unnecessary. Why? Oh, and then remember how we had the COVID money? Right? Our taxpayer dollars, the COVID money. You’re going to get really mad. We spent $31.5 million of COVID funds to buy luxury cars. Yeah. Uh-huh. That’s right. We spent $1.7 billion to maintain empty federal buildings. $475 billion was just to pay an interest on the national debt. Yeah. So this is horrible. This is where our money’s going.
SPEAKER 06 :
Not so great with other people’s money.
SPEAKER 01 :
No, it’s not really. This is bad. It’s all bad. So Rand Paul has the list up. I think he tweeted it, too. You still say tweet even though it’s X. Yeah? I always get confused. I always try to stop myself and I’m like, okay. But this is just, it is crazy. It’s just crazy. It’s a crazy list. I mean, I’m like still, I’m scrolling by the way. Still scrolling. I had to adjust to just make everything smaller so I could like scroll through. There’s so much in here. But yeah, the Hamster Fight Club. $3 million to watch hamsters fight on steroids. By the way, there’s the Tyson and Paul fight coming up. Is the undercard the hamster fight? I’m just curious. And in this corner, hamster McHamster face. Just curious. And then I love that they try to put… When he tweeted that out, they were trying to put a community note on it. And they’re like, no, they were studying steroid aggression. No joke. That’s why we’re complaining. You moron. Thank you for confirming. Thank you. Hamster Fight Club. I mean, this is just… It’s shameful. It’s absolutely shameful. So hopefully, I don’t know. Maybe… Maybe we can cut some of it, the $15 million that they use for U.S. Marshall security detail for Fauci. He got that much money. That much money in security. It’s just unbelievable. So… I don’t know. We’ll see how all this goes. But if they can cut that, if they can start cutting some of that stuff, I will be supremely happy. Now, as it relates to Switchgears, the Daniel Penny case, have you guys seen a lot of the stuff about Daniel Penny? Now, you guys remember Daniel Penny was the Marine veteran who was on the subway. And then Jordan Neely, they were trying to act like Jordan Neely was just this little Michael Jackson impersonator. He, you know, he was a homo nobody. He don’t have no beef with nobody. He wasn’t hurting anybody. He was just they acted like he was doing as me being a bad Michael Jackson. They acted like he was just doing a Michael Jackson impersonation on the subway. And that Daniel Penny saw him and just put him in a chokehold. If you listen to the media, that’s the way that they present it. Now, we’ve talked about this since it’s happened, you know, multiple times. And they, I mean, it is, it’s pretty crazy. The testimony that has come out, all these, one of the key witnesses admits to lying about it. In fact, Jordan Neely, who was a violent, violent, violent vagrant on drugs, had a violent record, had broken an older, broken this elderly woman’s nose and was actually, didn’t they have a warrant out for him on that because he skipped the, he didn’t follow the conditions of his release? And he had pushed somebody on the tracks earlier. He was going to kill somebody. And he was threatening all these people on the subway, including women with children, saying he was going to kill them and all this stuff. And then they were trying to act like Daniel Penny just unnecessarily used unnecessary force and that he killed him. Except. Jordan Neely wasn’t dead in fact he wasn’t dead because the video all the video that’s out there it also shows that Daniel Penny put him in the recovery position and that Neely was actually not dead in fact they were saying that he they didn’t provide care to him right away when emergency responders arrived and as a result of that they think that’s the biggest contributor Because he was on drugs. Hey, guess what? If you do a butt ton of drugs and then you try killing people and someone puts you in a chokehold, you have put yourself through some horrible choices in a position where your health might be compromised to the point of fatality. That’s the reality of it. And all these witnesses were coming forward. There were witnesses who came forward after the fact saying that we are so glad that he stepped in. The New York Post, to their credit, was the only outlet. The only one that actually reported on them. Nobody else did. Nobody else did. And they were young moms and older women. There was like a mom with a baby and then an older woman that were like, we are so grateful that he stepped up because they were terrified. And remember, there was remember me telling you there was a thread on Reddit that was over a year old where people were warning on Reddit, everyone traveling in Manhattan about that subway platform, because that’s where he liked to go. And they were saying, yeah, he used to just show up and do Michael Jackson impersonations. But the last like five to 10 years, they said he had stopped doing it and had gotten really violent. He was well known to be violent. New York didn’t send, and despite the fact that apparently law enforcement was told repeatedly about him and the danger that he posed to all the people at that subway platform, nobody, mayor didn’t do nothing. City council didn’t do nothing. Law enforcement, they didn’t send extra patrol down there. I know they’re probably stretched thin because nobody wants to be a cop anymore. But they had nobody down there to protect anyone. So Daniel Penny is left to do the job that nobody else wants to do. And he stepped in. And the guy who lied, Eric Gonzalez, who helped restrain Penny, he actually had to admit that he lied under oath. He was interviewed by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, and he lied about when he got to the scene and about what happened because all the other witnesses were not corroborating what he was saying. And Daniel Penny, he’s innocent. And they were trying to withhold evidence. The prosecution was trying to withhold evidence. I mean, this is crazy. This story is is New York. You do not. I would leave New York. You do not get justice there. Let them completely fall in on themselves and be their own prey to the criminals they protect and promote and do all the advocacy for. I mean, and Penny faces 20 years in prison. They’re trying to make this a race thing, and it’s not a race thing. Do you realize that some of the women on the platform who told law enforcement and told the prosecution during interviews later were black? And they were saying they were so glad that somebody stepped in. But let’s discount the black women who were saying they were terrified of this guy. You want to talk about race? Let’s talk about New York DAs and investigators ignoring the testimony of black women in New York who were terrified of this guy to the point where one of them had said that she didn’t even like going to that subway platform because she was scared. If you want to have a discussion about race, ignoring their testimony, that’s racist because it doesn’t serve your narrative of trying to lynch Daniel Penny because he’s white. Good heavens. I mean, you know, do you realize that he had tried to kidnap a seven-year-old girl before? He’s on video dragging a seven-year-old down the street. He tried to kidnap her. That was in 2015. Nobody talks about this stuff. And they said that passengers were terrified. Terrified. And Neely was alive. Daniel Penny is accused of killing him. He didn’t kill him. And they’re saying toxicology saying, oh, it looks like the drugs may have contributed more than anything that Penny ever did to his death. But they’re going to go for Daniel Penny anyway. Daniel Jordan Neely murdered Jordan Neely. Jordan Neely chose to do drugs to the point where it compromised his health. Jordan Neely chose to be a violent vagrant. Very, very violent. Violent choice after violent choice. Kidnapping, beating up old women, pushing other women on train tracks. It was a matter of time before he murdered a woman. Jordan Neely killed Jordan Neely. Even Eric Adams had intimated that Daniel Penny shouldn’t be charged. But this is New York. New York hates it if you are a white defendant. And they hate it if you’re a black conservative defendant. Because progressives look at black conservatives as white adjacent. They look at Hispanic conservatives as white adjacent. Because to them, they’re going to other you. to justify their bigotry. I mean, they had a retired medical administrator in that car who said that he was screaming, I will kill you, I’m ready to die. She said she was terrified that he was trying to get at a child that a mother was protecting with her stroller. And that’s when Penny got involved, when he was trying to grab at that kid. I mean, he had kidnapped a seven-year-old before. And he’s on camera dragging the child down the street. Yeah, Jordan Ely killed Jordan Ely. Stop glorifying violent criminals. Stop. We got a lot more on the way.
SPEAKER 06 :
It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.
SPEAKER 01 :
You know how you have like the Highland games, the Scottish games, and they throw, what is it? Is it the big log toss that they do? What do they call it? I didn’t want to spend as much. Gosh, what is it called? No, I didn’t want to spend as much time on it. Caber toss. Thank you. Caber toss. Florida Man has its own way of doing things. They got a gator toss. So Scott’s got the caber toss. Florida Man has the gator toss. It’s the Florida Man Games 2025. They’re having tryouts. Sunshine State News says that Florida Man, it’s like an Olympic Games for people who are Florida Man. It’s the Florida Man Games. And it’s going to be in St. Augustine in 2025. And they’re having their tryouts. No joke. I mean, weaponized pool noodle, mud dueling, evading arrest, obstacle course, Category 5 hurricane win, cash grab, beer belly, Florida sumo wrestling, and more. Stick with us. Third hour next. You know what I was thinking about? First off, welcome. Dana Lash here, your retired goth curmudgeon. Good to be with you. We’re at the top of our third hour. We have border Thanos, Tom Holman, coming up at the bottom of the hour. I was thinking, for the people who are super big mad over all the picks… I want you to ask yourself, but have they stole women’s luggage? Have they stolen a lady’s suitcase yet? Just saying. I mean, or can we just look for, I know that there are like, and look, I understand the objections to RFK Jr. at HHS and others, but who’s that deputy HHS dude? Yeah, there’s like an Aerosmith song about him. You know the one. I mean, just compare. Yes. The dude looks like the lady? Man looks like a ma’am.
SPEAKER 06 :
Lady. That’s stretched, too.
SPEAKER 01 :
Kind of, you know. But did they steal ladies’ luggage, though? That’s the question. What is his name? Sam Brenton? Sam Brenton. That’s right. The guy who legit stole women’s luggage everywhere. Multiple times. Multiple times. And one of them was a black fashion designer from South Africa. And he stole her stuff and was wearing it all over. I mean, it was like very colorful, unique, one-of-a-kind pieces. And he was wearing it all over. He was in charge of like nuclear stuff. Nuclear waste. How did he even get… First off, I just don’t understand how you could be that damn crazy and then also find time to study nuclear waste. Because it seems like being that crazy is a full-time job. Right? Oh, you’re going to wear PVC head to toe and go to fetish nights? But yet get up at six in the morning and go and do your nuclear waste job. Seems a little odd. You’re going to steal ladies luggage all over. By the way, another thing. You really have to be demented to do that, to steal someone’s luggage at an airport. Think of all the people that are there. You don’t know if the person who is waiting for their luggage is there watching you take their suitcase or not. Because then what if you’re caught? That’s theft. You’re going to get in trouble immediately. Oh my gosh. And if you’re with the government and you have like a clearance, a security clearance, you’re going to get even more trouble. Just think about all of the mental gymnastics he had to go through in order to be like, I don’t GAF and do it anyway. Right? Right. That’s just a whole other level. It’s Friday. It is Friday. That’s right. I mean, does your HHS, do they look like, is it a dude that looks like a lady? Does your nuclear waste head steal ladies’ luggage? I don’t know. I’m just wondering. I got questions. We’d like to have them answered, right? I feel like that’s the litmus right there. Have you ever? Oh, man, put me in charge. Oh, my gosh. This is I would only run for elected office just to be able to sit on a confirmation hearing and troll people with questions one time. And then I would resign my seat because then I don’t want to do any of the other work. I don’t care. I don’t want to cooperate with these people. I hate everybody there. But just when was the last time you stole women’s luggage? Oh, never. Right. When’s the last time you dressed up entirely head to toe in PVC or as a furry? and had puppy piles, wink, wink. When did that happen? You know what I mean? Kane is dying right now.
SPEAKER 06 :
But you know, it’s true. It reminds me of Easter at the White House.
SPEAKER 01 :
Easter at the White House. That’s right. Is that not like an OnlyFans thing? I’m surprised no one’s done it. Really surprised. They probably did. Oh, my gosh. One of the other things that is the cutting of all of the government excess as well. And they’re saying that it’s crazy, that it’s not something that is realistic. I wanted to share with you this. I’m going to do it real quick. And I’ll make sure I link it in your prep on Monday. But I retweeted it and it’s an oldie but a goodie. I remember reading about this in college and Rand Paul reminded me of the story about Davy Crockett, the original, you know, hardcore badass. Right. And he was sharing this story about government appropriation. And it’s this this it was it was published in 1867 in Harper’s Magazine and it was in the house and it was a day where they were taking up. They were talking about appropriations and everyone was was suggesting they need to appropriate money for the benefit of this widow of a very distinguished naval officer. And people were getting up and they were making these beautiful, superfluous speeches and they were very moving. And then they were about to put it to question, the House Speaker was, and then Davy Crockett stood up. And he was saying that as much respect as he had for the deceased, he was asking and as much sympathy for the sufferings of the living. He had said that we must not permit our respect for the dead or our sympathy for a part of the living to lead us in to an act of injustice to balance the living. He said that Congress had no right to appropriate that money as charity. And he noted that the deceased lived a very long life after the close of war. In fact, the deceased was in elected office till the day of his death. And Crockett noted, I was not aware that the government was in any way in debt to him. And he said, because it’s not a debt. Charity is not a debt. And he says, we do not have the authority to appropriate this public money as debt and give it as such. And he said, I’m the poorest man on this floor. I cannot vote for this bill. And he goes, well, I’ll give one week’s pay to the object if every member of Congress will do the same and it will amount to more than the bill asks for. And they took a seat. Nobody replied. Nobody stood up and offered their own money also. And the bill did not pass unanimously as it was expected to do. Instead, it just spittered out on the floor and that was it. And he was asked why he did that, because originally people thought, well, that’s rather cold of you, Davy Crockett. But he said, no, no, no. He said several years ago, I was standing on the steps of the Capitol. And he said there were other members of Congress there. And there was a fire over in Georgetown. It was a very large fire. We went over to help many people. Many houses burned and there were families that were made homeless. And and he said a bill was introduced appropriate. And this was a lot of money for that time. Twenty thousand dollars for the relief. He said we set all business aside. We rushed it through. And he said the next summer when I was thinking about the election, I was going to go and scout around some of the people of my district. And he said, you know, I want to go and talk to some of the voters. And he said and I found there was a farmer that he found plowing a field and he came up to him and started talking to him. And the farmer basically told him to go pound sand. He was not interested in voting for Davy Crockett because he said Davy Crockett was stupid and didn’t understand the Constitution. And it shocked Davy Crockett. Davy Crockett got an earful from this farmer who was like, I do not have time for you, sir. He said, you’re an anti-constitutionalist. And Davy Crockett was like, what do you mean? And he said, I have voted against. And he was given the list of things. And the farmer goes, you remember the fire from Georgetown when you rushed to appropriate $20,000 to spend? And he said, that government is not charity. It’s not yours to give. He said people could have donated. A lot of your fellow representatives could have written checks and they would not have had to live one day out of the luxury to which they have grown accustomed. But they didn’t do it. He said everyone in the Senate could have done it and they didn’t do it. You sought to do it with the people’s money instead and call it charity. The farmer told him, he said, it’s not the amount, Colonel, I complain of. It’s the principle. And the government ought to have in the treasury no more than enough for its legitimate purposes. And he goes, this is he goes, the power of collecting and dispersing money at pleasure is the most dangerous power that can be entrusted to man, particularly under our system of collecting revenue by tariff. Because it reaches every man in the country, no matter how poor he may be. And he said, whether it was 20,000 or 200,000, it’s not yours to give. And he humbled Davy Crockett that day. He humbled him. And he said, so, see, Colonel, you violated the Constitution. He said, Because once you begin to stretch your power beyond the limits of the Constitution, and there is no limit, there is no security for the people. He goes, I don’t doubt that you tried to act honestly, but that doesn’t make what you did better. And so now you see that’s why I cannot vote for you. And Davy Crockett was almost speechless. And he was very humble and very honest and transparent in his response. And he said, I stand corrected. You are right. He said, I thought I had the sense to understand the Constitution, and it is clear by what you just told me I do not. You never hear a lawmaker say that, do you? You never hear a lawmaker say I was wrong and you corrected me. Because now there is no admittance of error because it is taken as a weakness instead of as a sign of strength to be able to recognize and build off of a mistake. And he says he apologized to him. And he said, what you have said here at your plow has got more hard sound sense in it than all of the fine speeches I have ever heard. And he said, if I had ever taken the view of it that you have, I would have put my head into the fire before I would have given that vote. And he promised him. And he said, I ask for your forgiveness. And if you will forgive me and vote for me again, if I ever vote for an unconstitutional law, I wish that I may be shot is what he said. He ended up being friends with that farmer and the farmer did support him and ended up did getting influence for him. And Davy Crockett was true to his word and was consistent. But it’s not easy to be a Davy Crockett. Everyone thinks it’s Mr. Smith going to Washington and it’s not. It is not easy to be like Davy Crockett. It is not easy to be consistent. It is not easy to have principle because you are rewarded for your flexibility in D.C., You are awarded for your move to do something temporary with immediate gain, immediate satisfaction. We are inventing a system where we reward the short term only to punish ourselves more harshly than we ever could have imagined in the long term. And that has to change. And I hope that it can change by cutting some of this government spending. But I am so used to being lied to and passed over and abused by my government that I don’t think that any jury would convict me of an offense of not trusting them. Or you, for that matter. So we’ll see. I hope that they can cut it. I hope because… Nothing will ever happen until we cut government spending. The refineries that we need to produce more gas, we’re not going to have it. Better oil, we’re not going to have crude, have more crude, have more natural gas, we’re not going to have it. The drilling to become, once again, net exporters of energy. We have to reduce spending in order to facilitate some of the things like this. And I agree, the Treasury should not have any more money than it absolutely needs for its legitimate purposes. That gets to my point. I always talk about Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution. If we actually did keep it that way, we would be running a budget surplus. You wouldn’t have the need for income tax. You wouldn’t have the need for all of this extra spending. You wouldn’t have the need for any of this. There have been countless analyses done by many an economic expert on this issue, and they all agree. If, if, if we had the courage to do it. If we had the discipline to withstand the austerity that comes with it. Do we? Because this is more than just a test of a new Congress. It’s more than just a test of a new Senate. It’s more than just a test of a new cabinet. It is a test of the American electorate. It’s not just these lawmakers that are being tested right now. It’s you too. All of us. How will we do? We have more to come.
SPEAKER 06 :
And now all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 01 :
This is a crazy story. So in Britain, their air traffic employees did a work from home day. And it exacerbated a nightmare of delays for 700,000 travelers. Yes, they were stranded. This was over a holiday weekend. The study’s coming out now. Over last year, holiday weekend last year, they were wondering, why did we have all these technical glitches that stopped planes from taking off and landing and it took hours to fix? Because engineers were working from home that day. No joke. They literally had to take some of them an hour and a half to get all the way from their houses to the airport and then take about three to four hours to fix the problem. And it, I mean, almost a million passengers were affected. That is crazy. Crazy. Credit card debt hits a record $1.17 trillion, according to the New York Fed, new research. Whoopi Goldberg claims a bakery refused to serve her because of her left-wing views. But as it turns out, she’s smearing them. They said their boiler broke down. They had massive problems in their kitchen. They did not make her cupcakes because of who she is. It’s a 145-year-old bakery, for crying out loud. This is ridiculous. And fears for alien safety. The government’s firing high pulse microwave weapons at UFOs now. Wait, there are things to fire at? Tom Holman, Border Thanos next.
SPEAKER 04 :
Think about how bad the political knock-on consequences of a few million have been in triggering xenophobia and ultranationalism. It’s difficult to imagine what a billion climate migrants would be.
SPEAKER 01 :
Al Gore, they’re at that COP 29 and he’s another excuse as to why you have so many people coming across. Oh, it’s because of climate. It’s because of this. It’s because of that. Always an excuse. There’s always an excuse as to why we can’t secure the border. And they’ve been throwing climate change in there for forever. It’s mind boggling. Oh, my gosh. I’m so happy that last week went the way it did. We live in a border state in Texas. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. Listen, coast to coast. Channel 347, DirecTV. If you’re not listening, listening terrestrially, we’re on X everywhere else, because part of what last week is bringing in. Well, we’re going to have border Thanos. I’m calling in that. I am calling him border Thanos because he’s a badass and there’s just no other way to put it. It’s Tom Homan, who is new, newly announced as the border czar for the Trump administration. He’s our president, CEO of Border 9-1-1, former acting ICE director, retired federal agent and the newly appointed border czar coming into the new Congress, the new term. And he joins us now via Skype. Tom, or what do I call you as a proper border czar? I mean, that’s we got to figure out the title for that because border Thanos. I don’t think that they make a desk applique for that.
SPEAKER 09 :
No, I think borders are just perfectly fine. I think that says it all.
SPEAKER 01 :
There you go right there. Well, congratulations on your selection. And I know a lot of people, I think, are breathing a sigh of relief today because I noticed when you were asked, well, what’s going to change on day one of the border? You said it’s going to be shock and awe. That’s going to change. You’re going to go in and make some significant differences immediately. Can you give some insight into like what is the most dangerous thing to Americans that you see that can be done with immediately and effectively in the first week?
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, look, President Trump’s made it clear that we’re going to get out the gate. We’re going to target national security threats and public safety threats. We’ve got criminal gangs in this country committing heinous acts of rape and murder. We’ve got MS-13. We’ve got train to Agua. We’ve got a lot of criminal aliens we’ve got to round up because this administration and Biden administration, I was looking at the data the other day. They tried to sell that they’re going to concentrate on just criminal aliens, those convicted of crimes. But when you look at the data, The removal and deportation of criminal aliens has decreased 74% from the Trump administration. So we’ve got a target-rich environment. So we’re going to concentrate on public safety threats because they pose the most danger to us. So we’re going to go after them right out of the gate. Also, we’re going to secure the border right out of the gate. So there’s like three rails we’re operating right now. It’s going to be secure the border, run the deportation option by prioritization, and find and save over 300,000 children.
SPEAKER 01 :
Wow. And that’s the other big thing. I will and I’ve never do this, but I’ll give New York Times a little bit of credit because they did write a very critical story about DHS and the border and the administration when they when they first reported that there were hundreds of thousands of kids missing. Like actual legitimate kids that are brought over by coyotes, brought over illegally into the country, and then they go missing. And then you have, who is it, Becerra? Or no, it’s Mayorkas who’s running this, saying, well, you know, we’ve got to process these people faster. It has to be like the Ford assembly line. We’ve got to process them faster. But then it came out that they weren’t doing their due diligence and seeing even where anyone went. I mean, we have no idea. Hundreds of thousands of kids. No one’s talking about it. You are. A few people are.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, you know, and Becerra, I saw him on stage one time talking about how quick they release these children as an all-time record. Because, look, this administration has been concerned about one thing. That’s the optics, right? So if they process quicker and release quicker and there’s no overcrowding, there’s nothing to see here. And we learned that because when Fox News had that 5,000 Haitians on the bridge, that was a bad day for this administration. So the instruction from that day forward was,
SPEAKER 01 :
process quick release quick if there’s no overcrowding there’s nothing to see here we keep claiming the border secure you had said that there are 10 times that terrorists coming into the united states are 10 times more likely to come through the northern border than the southern border a lot of people haven’t been paying attention to what’s happening up between the canada and u.s border out there everyone i mean i know we we put a lot of attention rightfully so at the southern border tell us exactly like some of the scary stuff that’s happening up north
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, look, the problem with the northern border is they’ve got very few resources up there to begin with. And I get that. You don’t put most of the farmland where the big fire is, that’s the southern border. However, what they did to the northern border in this administration, because you had historical immigration, they took half of the very small population on border relations and detailed them to the southern border. When you do that, that even makes the northern border further weak. And the half that were left at the northern border, they were processing illegal aliens from the southern border virtually. What? So there’s virtually board patrol on the river, on the lakes, on the patrol up north. So the north border, like some of the sectors on the northern border, especially where I grew up in upstate New York, it’s up 800%. So we’ve got to pay attention to the northern border.
SPEAKER 01 :
That is virtually processing them up at the northern border, which is unbelievable. We’re talking with the new borders are Tom Homan, who’s also saying you’re telling these governors, look, you’re not going to be a lot of these people like J.B. Pritzker. J.B. Pritzker threw down and said, our residents, our citizens are staying here. Well, they’re here illegally, so they don’t have that protection. These governors, I mean, how are you going to counter these governors that are saying, no, this isn’t going to happen? There’s not going to be any removal of illegal immigrants here.
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, first of all, it’s amazing to me that these left-leaning people, they got the world upside down because, you know, all of a sudden the people who enforce the law are the bad guys. And the people who break the law are the victims. I don’t get it. Their world’s upside down. But look, they don’t want to help. They get the hell out of the way because we’re coming. We’re going to do this job. The President Trump has a mandate from the American people to get this done. So we got to get it done. And we’re going to get it done without their help. So I’d love to have their help, but if they can’t help us, then we’re going to have to move forward on it.
SPEAKER 01 :
One of the biggest things, too, we’re talking with Tom Holman, the new borders are under President-elect Trump. One of the biggest things, too, you mentioned Trinidad and Tarago and all of these other gangs that are taking root in major cities. I mean, it’s here. I’m in Dallas. It’s here in Dallas. I mean, it’s everywhere, far, far into the interior of the United States. That’s going to be a real effort to combat that. And I know that there’s been a lot of red tape that’s been put by the Obama-Biden administration and by the Biden-Harris administration preventing you know, you and DHS and ICE from actually working with these with these local law enforcement to to get detainers, have those detainers followed up on, report this and then get these people removed. Is that going to be a lot to work through? How long do you think that something like that’s going to take?
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, thank God we got a strong president like President Trump. He’s not going to take that garbage. And, you know, a lot of sheriffs. I’ve been contacted by hundreds of sheriffs. that want to work with us. They want to fire up the 287G programs, have their sheriff’s deputies help us, especially in the jails. So I think this Trump win is meaningful to law enforcement. And even in the sanctuary cities, the law enforcement wants to work with us. I’m in New York City all the time, and every police officer I talk to, and I’ve talked to hundreds, they want to work with us. It’s the leadership, the city leadership. So I think President Trump’s going to make a lot of headway with these agencies and the other ones. Look, we need to sue the sanctuary cities like President Trump did their first administration. However, When Joe Biden became president, he dropped that lawsuit that DOJ had against Sanctuary City. So we’re going to refile that lawsuit. We’re going to take these people to court. There’s no downside for any city official, a mayor, a governor, a chief of police to not want Public safety threats taken off their streets. That’s what it is, because we said we’re going to prioritize public safety threats. What mayor or city councilman or governor does not want to take public safety threats off their streets? Their number one responsibility is the safety of their communities, and we want to help them do that. So again, they don’t want to help us. We’re taking them to court, but we’re going to do what we’re told to do.
SPEAKER 01 :
Yeah, that’s I mean, I’m I know so many people are so happy to see this change. We’re talking with Tom Holman, Borders are I know your announcers of Borders are were you asked to to head up DHS out of curiosity because you were former ICE. And I honestly I out of the gate, I was like, oh, it’s gonna be Tom Holman over at DHS. I mean, I know you’re going to go wherever, wherever you feel that you are best suited to serve and where you want to go. But I was just curious about that.
SPEAKER 09 :
I’d rather not comment on that.
SPEAKER 01 :
Okay. All right. I just wanted to ask. Well, I’m so glad that you’re going to be somewhere on the border.
SPEAKER 09 :
These personal appointments, I just hate to get in that with my kind of face with the president. But I’m where I think I should be. I’m a border guy. Secretary has a lot of responsibility. You got Secret Service. You got to fix. You got to fix. I want to spend 100% of the time 24-7 on the border.
SPEAKER 01 :
There you go. One last question for you. Border agents. I know that they’re they’ve got so much that they have to handle. And I know we are in dire need of them. What’s the plan to combat some of the fatigue, the demoralization and maybe get some more on the ground there?
SPEAKER 09 :
Yes, the morale is already sky high because of President Trump’s reelection. A lot of border patrol agents had a retirement paper put in. They pulled it back. Dana, I got called by hundreds. Texas calls through my LLC. Hundreds of border patrol agents who have retired that are begging to come back to help Trump. Hundreds of soldiers that have retired wanting to come help Trump. Law enforcement officers from all the country want to come help. I’ve got thousands of people willing to step up tomorrow and do the job.
SPEAKER 01 :
There you go. Tom Homan, border czar. Things are about to change. You said shock and awe earlier, and I like that. There’s going to be a lot of change at the border, and we are grateful for it. We can’t wait until you get in there and start getting things done. Thank you, sir. We’ll talk with you again soon. God bless you.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah. Bye-bye.
SPEAKER 01 :
Okay. Welcome back to the program. Did you guys see what was happening in New Zealand? I thought this was kind of interesting. So in New Zealand, they were passing this bill that they had with indigenous tribes in New Zealand. And they had the Maori that I guess they disliked what the proposal was. And so they staged a protest in parliament by performing a haka. Watch. Why didn’t they do this when they were locking everybody the hell down with COVID? Why didn’t they do this when they were taking their kids out of schools for COVID? Why didn’t they do this when they were shutting down their businesses because of COVID? Why didn’t they do this when they were mandating that they get experimental injections with COVID? But this? Ah, we’ll do it for this, but not for that. I mean, we’re losing actual freedoms and our kids are losing actual education. We’re losing bodily autonomy. And we’re not going to do it then, but we’ll do it for this. What people pick their battles over is mind-blowing. It really is. I don’t know. It seems less badass because you’re going to do it for an agreement that you’re debating. But when they were literally ruining your lives and jailing you if you didn’t inject your kids and all that… Because New Zealand was hardcore. Don’t forget. Jacinda Arden, they were hardcore. There were parents arrested if they walked outside with their kids. There’s video of it. But they didn’t perform their war dance for that. But they would for this. I don’t get that. That’s odd to me. Now, switching gears here, you know, they had their little environmental thing, COP 29. They had a meat buffet and vegan cuisine, and they were showing the difference between the lines for it. Look at this.
SPEAKER 14 :
There is a line at Top 29’s food court for the buffet serving meat, another buffet serving meat, and here is the vegan-only restaurant. Doesn’t quite look like the same amount of interest by the UN delegation here.
SPEAKER 01 :
Oh, you know why? Because none of these people believe the stuff that they actually promote to you. They just don’t want you to eat meat because they want more meat for them. They want cheap meat for them. That’s what it is. That was Mike Morano. I was reporting that. The COP 29, what is it? Just like their big climate thing? I don’t even pay attention to it. If Al Gore is involved in it, I don’t pay attention unless there’s a dumb soundbite. But I thought that was interesting. I have friends who are vegetarian. And then I don’t, vegan’s kind of hard because everything is like animal related at some point. But that was their vegan line. Nobody’s, of course nobody’s there. If they all believed the stuff that they were promoting, that Gates ideology, they would all be in that line. And they’re not. Is anybody surprised? No, no one. No one is surprised. No one at all. No one at all. So we’re following and getting the rest of these cabinet appointments. I did think that Holman’s answer was interesting when I asked him if he was going to if he was asked about HHS. And he just said, no, no comment. I’m not going to talk about that. And I know he’s not. I still wanted to ask him anyway, because he’s pushed back when he’s been asked about it. But I just wanted to ask him anyway, you know, just to see, because, gosh, he’s just a natural fit for that position. So I don’t know. Maybe there’s reasons as to why he was picked for it. But either way, him being on the border is going to be good. And we came up with that. He’s border Thanos. Yeah, he came up with that. Now, by the way, one last thing. Mike Tyson, Jake Paul. Can I have audio of somebody at 23 real quick before we go into today’s stupidity? Because they’re fighting tonight in Arlington, Texas. I don’t know who you got. Mike Tyson slapped him, though. Right here. He slaps him. Slappity slap. Go ahead. Oh, oh. Oh, my gosh. They were playing crisscross. I love it. Who do you think is going to win in this? Steve thinks it’s Jake Paul. Are you serious?
SPEAKER 13 :
When that Tyson thing came up a while ago. Steve and I both think. Yeah, remember when he had that heart problem a couple months ago and he’s like, oh, I’m all good now? I don’t know. That just seems weird.
SPEAKER 01 :
Is Jake Paul, though, as good with technicalities in the ring as Mike Tyson is? Mike Tyson’s been a boxer his whole life. There is a lot more to it than just brawling, although everybody’s got a puncher’s chance.
SPEAKER 06 :
I think the way it’s set up, I thought there was an agreement. I didn’t see it on paper, but I’ve heard people comment on the agreement between the two, and it’s all set up in favor, Jake. But, yeah, that’s why I think that.
SPEAKER 01 :
Well, we’re going to know tonight, aren’t we? We shall know tonight. All right. Today in stupidity.
SPEAKER 06 :
All right. Looks like the NAACP representative went on TV because they heard Pete Hegseth was going to be sec def. And boy, did they get stupid with the accusations. Listen to this.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, I’m going to add the secretary of defense nominee, Peter Hegseth, the Fox News commentator as well, because this is someone who we can host. Important distinction. This is someone who is known to be a white supremacist, known to be an extremist, whose platform… He’s known to be that?
SPEAKER 06 :
What the hell is she talking about?
SPEAKER 01 :
Who is this broad trying to diminish a decorated combat veteran just because he’s on Fox News? Who are you? What’s good? I’m so done with this. We got a whole week in to relax, but then it starts again Monday. Back with you then. God bless.
