Speaker 1 (00:00):
It is the Data Show and breaking news the state
of Georgia moving to drop all remaining charges in the
twenty twenty election interference case against President Donald Trump. Welcome
to the show. It's Rich Zioli from Philadelphia. Great to
be with you again. It's been a while, it's been
a minute. It's a very busy day today, a lot
of breaking news, even though it's Wednesday and it's the holiday.

(00:21):
Rush is what I'll get ready for Thanksgiving, And of
course everybody is urging politeness. Please be polite when you're
flying or when you're traveling. Please be polite, all right,
that's the message. Dress, you know, don't dress like a shlub.
Put on some decent clothes and nobody needs to see
in your pajamas. And then don't fight. And try not

(00:42):
to get drunk on a plane. It's not that complicated.
And be nice to people, especially the people working there,
because they're working and you know you're not. So I
think it's a pretty simple message. It's a shame we
have to give that message. But I mean, part of
the problem is that the airline, the traveling experience is
not really much fun anymore. Between the TSA and the

(01:03):
fondling and the groping, and then the seats that are
so tiny and narrow, and they don't give you any snacks,
and a lot of people are angry, and you can't
bring your water through security. So yeah, by the time
you get on the plane, you're a little bit, yeah,
a little bit cranky. People have been known to even
call people names like piggy for example. So I'm just
saying be nice and there you go. That's how we'll

(01:25):
do it. But this is a big deal right out
of Georgia. To start the show here on the Dana
Show on this Wednesday, the State of Georgia moving to
drop all remaining charges and the twenty twenty election interference
case against the President and his co defendants. Quote, the
political persecution of President Trump by disqualified District Attorney Fawnie
Willis is finally over. This case should never have been brought.

(01:50):
A fair and impartial prosecutor has put an end to
this lawfare that statement by Trump's lead Georgia defense counsels
see Steve Sidow. This entire case, from the initiation of
the District attorney's investigation in twenty twenty one to the
present is without precedent noted Peter J. Scandalicus, who took

(02:14):
over the case after Fulton County distric Attorney Forni Willis
was disqualified from handling it. And of course you remember,
we all remember she was disqualified because her gumata came
on the case and she was paying them hundreds of
thousands of dollars and he was not qualified to try
that case, or really any case outside of a traffic
court for that matter. Never before, and hopefully never again,

(02:38):
will our country face circumstances such as these. It was
political weaponization of the highest degree. It was the political
weaponization of the justice system. And we know that she
was cooperating with Merrick Garland. We know that they were
in cahoots together at the time he turned general the
United States. They wanted to get Trump on anything. It
was a ridiculous, ridiculous, ridiculous case. It really stemmed from

(03:01):
the time that he talked to the governor of Georgia
and said, I only need like twelve thirteen thousand votes.
He wasn't saying go go print him in the back room,
go make him up, go stuff a ballot box somewhere.
He just said, I only need that much can we
keep you know, looking, or make sure we have them.
I mean, he was just kind of rattling something off,
like I'm only down twelve thousand votes here. It's but

(03:25):
at no point was there any sense of, oh, please
go and do something illegal on my behalf to make
up that gap. Never so there never should have been
a case brought. And then of course when she brought
on her boyfriend, and then the whole thing with the boyfriend,
and it was the marriage and then he was lying,
and then where he was living and all that came

(03:46):
out with it too, and it was just an abomination,
the entire thing. She ran on a platform, much like
Letitia James in New York State, of going after Donald Trump.
It was politicized warfare, was I will I will get elected,
and then I will go after this guy. Forget all
the other things, Forget all the other criminals, Forget actual criminals,
I should say, people that have actually committed you know, crimes.

(04:10):
I'm going to go after this man so that we
can stop him. And the thing about it, as I
know that it was for President Trump's perspective, as I
imagine for anybody who has to go through this, it's
got to be hell, but it helped get him the nomination,
and it helped him win. It really did. I think
the great miscalculation of the Democrats in twenty twenty leading

(04:31):
up to from twenty twenty to twenty twenty four was
if we indict Donald Trump, if we get him behind
bars in some way, shape or form, then what's going
to happen is the party will rally around him. He's
the easiest one to beat, and then we'll win. And
even though Joe Biden was already showing very clear signs
of dementia at that point, they figured it'll be layup

(04:53):
beat him once before, we'll beat him again. We just
got to make sure he gets the nomination. And if
you remember, at this point in time, Governor DeSantis had
a lot of momentum. Obviously there was a sense within
the Republican Party that maybe they should move away from
President Trump. I read Selena Zito's book Butler, which if
you get a chance to read, maybe over Thanksgiving break
as you're getting on an airplane to go be nice

(05:15):
to people. We're all going to be nice. As my
mother would say, be nice, baby, and she talks about this.
You know, the many in the party had moved away
from Donald Trump. His poll numbers were low. DeSantis was
on the scene and he was getting a lot of momentum.
I mean, he had his botch rollout on Twitter spaces.
I think they were still calling it Twitter spaces at
the time. They might have called it exit, but Elon

(05:36):
had owned it and that was kind of a disaster.
Then the East Palestine Ohio train derailment happens. Biden doesn't
show up. Trump does, and he goes there and he
starts handing out bottles of water to people, looking presidential,
looking like he's on the scene. And Selena Zito writes
in her book Butler that that was really the moment

(05:57):
where things started to change and Trump started to gain
momentum again that he hadn't had before. And then of
course the rest is history. But from looking at this
kind of dispassionately at the time, as I do the
afternoon drive show on Talker A New twelve ten to
be PhD in Philly, so I'm covering this every day
in the must win state of Pennsylvania, and I kept thinking,

(06:18):
the mistake that they're making here is that they're banking
on a strong economy in twenty twenty four, and I
don't think we're going to have one, because inflation is
what we're being told at the time. If you remember,
inflation was transitory, so it was just it was here
and that it was going to be gone. It was
just a transitory thing, no big woop, nothing to worry about.

(06:39):
And I just I looked at the spending. I looked
at the spending in that ridiculous I hate to say
the words Inflation Reduction Act, because it obviously only caused
more inflation, but it was it was a deal for
people that make solar panels and windmills. That's what it was.
That's what it was. It was a handout to them.
It was a green energy scam. I saw the spending,

(07:00):
the COVID spending under Biden, and then of course the
attempts by the Biden administration to ensure that we could
not produce any energy anymore, you know, fighting to stop
people from getting oil drilling leases, which they have every
right into the law to do. And just every bad
decision that I saw was just driving up and you

(07:21):
saw too, We lived it, driving up inflation, driving up
the cost of living, driving up the cost of goods,
driving up the cost of energy. And I said the Democrats,
he are playing with fire man. Because if they're so
sure that Trump, if he's the nominee, loses, I think
they're making a big mistake because the issue in this
race is going to come down of the economy again,
It's not going to come down to Trump. But I
think the problem is in life, whenever you're obsessed with

(07:44):
something in an unhealthy way, don't you don't really look
at things objectively anymore. And their hatred of him and
their desire to stop him, and their belief that everybody
felt the way that they felt. So because they hate him,
that means everybody else hates him. It's like your drunk
uncle this coming Thanksgiving, who might hate him? Or your

(08:04):
drunk aunt or mother in law. Why would I give
you that example. I'm just throwing it out there. But
the idea that, well, they hate him, so then everybody
must hate him. So all we got to do is
just hand him the Republican nomination and then he goes
down in flames. That was ultimately what drove Fawnie Willis
and Letitia James, Merrick Garland and Jack Smith, pushed by

(08:28):
the DNC, pushed by the Biden and Obama machine, get
this guy, prosecute this guy, doesn't matter on what the
what is irrelevant. The party will rally around him, and
then he'll be the nominee and then he'll lose. It
was obviously a strategic cluster error of the biggest order,

(08:48):
like the mother of all cluster errors. But they couldn't see.
They couldn't be objective about it, you know, And they're
doing a lot of the same things now. I mean
there's a lot of the same mistakes they're making again,
this pattern of believing that everybody just hates Donald Trump
personally and they can't look at policy because of how
they feel about him personally. And what twenty twenty four

(09:11):
showed is that's just simply not the case. There are
people that they may not love the guy, they may
not like what he says untruth social for example, they
may not like a lot of things, but they'll vote
for him because they like his policies. And then we
have the Russia Ukraine peace Deal announced, Ukraine agreeing with
the proposal with only minor details to settle. That's a
big deal with a lot of people, myself included. I

(09:31):
like the idea of ending wars. I like the idea
of not starting new wars. I like the idea of
this president being a peace president and the Trump doctrine
being peace through economic strength, basically translating like this, you
get rich, we get rich, everybody gets rich. So stop
killing each other. I mean only people who won't benefit

(09:52):
from that are the people that have been getting rich
over you killing each other, which is the military industrial
complexes in your various countries and hours. But otherwise we
could all make money. It's a very novel concept, I know.
So stop being fanatical lunatics and just play nice in
the Sandbux and we can all make a little cashish,
a little shadded cheese. And it's working. It's working. And

(10:14):
it's a big deal that we now have this place
where you had Special Envoy Steve Whitcoff helping Russia now
essentially present the peace plan to Ukraine and then presenting
that to President Trump. The very big deal. We'll talk
about that throughout the show today. But the mistake that
the Democrats are making, and you see this with the

(10:35):
Seditious Six as they're known, These these Democrats who put
out that video saying defy an illegal order. This was
a completely unnecessary video. There was no reason for it,
nobody suggesting that any illegal orders are being given. I
personally think the timing of this coming out with the
movie Nuremberg, and there's some audio clips today of some

(10:58):
of the some of the real gems and the lunatic
bin actually bringing up Nuremberg. It seems like they're getting
paid by the movie studio just give free publicity for
this movie, which I've heard is good. I don't know.
I mean, I'll probably wind up seeing it at some
point when it's not in theaters anymore. But it's hard.
I have kids. It's hard for me to go see
a World War two holocaust, A dramas tough to find

(11:22):
with a job and kids. I'm just saying, probably wait
till it comes home on video, but or video right
like when you can stream it. But the timing of this,
and it shows you that with their nonsense about defying
these hypothetical illegal orders that are not being given, and
then the backlash to this bipartisan backlash against them, they

(11:42):
don't see that their hatred of Trump is causing them
to make really bad decisions, and it's also causing them
to align themselves with people like Zora Mam Donnie New
York and other people who cannot get elected nationwide outside
of New York City and blue places like that. Good
news is the case against Trump in Georgia is over.

(12:03):
Excellent news. The bad news for Democrats it helped elect
Donald Trump president. The bad news for all of us
is that we watch people who so recklessly weaponized the
legal system for political purposes. And that is something that
is going to haunt this country for a very very
long time. It's a Dana show. It's me Rich is

(12:23):

go away.

Speaker 2 (12:27):

The market changes fast, the economy, even your own job.

(12:48):
So what's the smart way to make sure that your
money is actually working for you while you're sitting with
family and thinking about all you've built. Remember, Noble Gold
Investments is here to guide you. Their team is helpful
and informed, no hype, just honest advice. Gold is up

Speaker 4 (13:54):
And now all of the news you would probably miss,
it's time for Data's Quick five.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
Well, if you're going to destroy some brain cells this
Thanksgiving with alcohol, don't feel too bad, because there's a
new study that says that the brain cells were born
with come pre programmed, challenging the century old blank slate theory.
You know this idea that you're born to blank slate
and then we fill it with nonsense. Apparently, according to
a study, lab grown human brain cells spontaneously organized into

(14:24):
precise firing sequences without any sensory experience, challenging the idea
that the brain is a blank slate shaped by learning.
It's pretty complicated, but the bottom line is this, it
may be a lot more about your DNA than we've
ever imagined your destiny. Anyway, week long social media detox
actually leads young adults to spend even more time on

(14:46):
their phones. I know, crazy, right. It's kind of like
when you do dry January and then February first comes
along and you just go, just give you a beer.
They track tw hundred ninety five young adults who quit Facebook, Instagram,
et cetera, et c. After a week, and they dropped
it for the week, But then when they got their
phones back, they actually increased their screen time by about

(15:08):
fifteen seconds daily and forty three extra minutes at home
each day. And even though depression dropped, it came right
back as soon as the devices came back. No doubt
about it. Of course, I'm a big fan of movies,
like I mentioned, sometimes can't go see in the theater.
But Rush Hour four they're remaking that for Donald Trump.
The film's franchise is reportedly amongst some of the US

(15:30):
President's favorites, and Paramount is reportedly going to release Rush
Hour for Jackie Chan Chris Tucker after President Trump personally
requested the revival of the action franchise. Boom, there we go.
But there'll be a documentary about fifty cent and it'll
be about Diddy, and that's going to come out for
a pre Christmas release on Netflix. You may not want

(15:51):
to see that one as much as the other one,
but the Reckoning will arrive December. Second of four ports
far fourth part serio excuse me. We'll focus on this
sexual abuse allegations against Dittycombs, and that is going to
cause a lot of people to probably tune in because
I have nothing better to do except football, of course.
And finally, Oregon governor declares a fuel emergency after a

(16:12):
pipeline leak and warns of rising gas prices, which is
weird because I didn't think that that had anything to
do with why prices went up. You know what I
mean from the Blue States perspective. I didn't realize that
had anything to do with maybe not having enough supply.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
It is a data show. On this travel Wednesday, it's
rich Ze only from talker to twelve ten to BPHD
in Philadelphia. Great to be with you this afternoon. I'll
tell you the h in Georgia. This is a big
making news and it happened just before I came on
the air today. The election interference case against the president
dropped against the president and more than a dozen of
his allies and supporters. Happened today after the new prosecutor

(18:13):
moved for all charges to be dropped, saying pursuing the
matter would be unproductive. Folden County Superior Court Judge Scott
McAfee throughout the case less than an hour after Peter Scandalachus,
who appointed himself as prosecutor after he failed to find
anyone else willing to take the job. This was after
Fawnie Willis was ousted. Remember, under Georgia law, there's this

(18:36):
thing where if there's if the prosecutor is removed from
a case, then it basically it kind of goes up
for grabs in terms of who wants it. But nobody
wanted it. Nobody wanted because it was a bad case.
Prosecutors tend to like to take cases that they can win.
I mean, I'm not an attorney, but I've seen enough
legal TV shows and movies to know that that's the case.

(18:59):
I don't want to take a losing case. This was
a bad case. It was never any evidence at President
Trump had any men's ray to have the Georgia governor,
anyone else with that matter of break any laws. It
was really based on just this notion of let's just
create this. And then of course the infamous mugshot which
happened in Georgia, which for the president you know, smartly
used to his benefit with merch pictures still uses it

(19:22):
hangs in the White House. I mean, he's no fool.
He knows that helped to get him elected. It helped
rally the base around him. Nobody wanted to take the job,
so after Fonnie Willis was out, there was nobody left.
So then this guy, the Peter Scandalacus appointed himself as
prosecutor and he had to failed to find anyone else
who could take the case. And that was when that

(19:45):
happened too. I remember that too, because I thought to myself,
oh man, this is this is this is definitely gonna
be over. This happened back. Let's see if I exactly
when this happened. This was not that long ago, but
I think it was maybe a couple a couple of
weeks ago. Last week end of last week it was.
I mean it was recent. The Georgia prosecutor forced to

(20:05):
take over the States twenty twenty election interference case against
President Trump and more than a dozen of his allies
after no other advocate was willing to sign on in
the wake of FAWNI Willis getting booted over the affairs scandal,
Prosecuting Attorney's Council of Georgia executive director Peter Scandalisa's Scandalacus

(20:26):
excuse me. He announced that he would appoint himself, saying
several prosecutors who were contacted, and while all were respectful
and professional, each declined the appointment and it was his
job to find somebody to take the case. So he
got a lot of thanks but no thanks. Hey, appreciate
the call, but I'm I am slammed. My golf game
is super busy right now, and I don't want this

(20:49):
stink bomb of a losing case. So then he took
it on himself. So now that it's officially over, because
after he took it on and essentially now came out
and said, this case is done. Now George is dropping
all the charges too. So that's the end of this
once and for all. And thank god. It's a shame
it ever happened. It really is. It's a shame it

(21:10):
ever happened. It's a shame we ever had to go
down this road. It's a shame that we ever had
to deal with the situation like this. But Fonnie Willis destroyed, herself, destroyed,
her political career, destroyed any chance of a political future,
and she and her her boyfriend became absolute fools and
household names for all the wrong reasons, all the wrong reasons.

(21:32):
So the judge just issued this decision a short time ago. Quote,
the case is hereby dismissed in its entirety. So that
just happened within the last several moments. Actually, I think
it literally might have happened while we were on our
first break. Georgia drops the twenty twenty election case against Trump,

(21:52):
and that's it. That's it, that's all she wrote over
in its entirety. Scandalacus Is, the executive director of the
Horoscuting Turns Council of Georgia, acknowledged in his twenty three
page filing that the case is on life support. A
decision on what to do with that falls on me
and me alone, before concluding that the appropriate authority to
bring charges was former Special Council Jack Smith. I don't

(22:13):
like saying special counsel. That man was never appropriately appointed
according to the United States Constitution, which is ultimately what
the judge in Florida would wind up ruling, and saying
that Jack Smith was not a special prosecutor. Therefore any
of his indictments or anything else with the case had
to go. And then of course, President Trump won the

(22:35):
election and all became a new point anyway. But that
was the correct ruling by the judge in Florida. I'll
get back to that, but focusing on this for a moment,
Jack Smith dropped his federal version of the Georgian indictment
following the president's victory, citing longstanding Justice Department policy against
indicting a sitting president, and also too after it was
basically ruled that he was not really a special council

(22:58):
quote to use the title here for the purposes of
reading the quote from the guy in Georgia who's now
the case is over, if Special Counsel Jack Smith with
all the resources of the federal government at as disposal.
After reviewing the evidence in this case and considering the
US Supreme Court's decision in Trump the United States, along
with years of litigation, and concluding that such a case

(23:19):
would inevitably entail that it would be fruitless, then I
too find that, despite the available evidence, pursuing the prosecution
of all those involved in State of Georgia v. Donald
Trump on essentially federal grounds would be equally unproductive. Trump's
criminal defense lawyer lauded the decision and I shared that

(23:42):
quote with you before. Willis brought state racketeering conspiracy charges
against the president and eighteen of his associates in August
of twenty twenty three. By January of twenty twenty four,
the case was secondary to a scandal tied to Willis's
affair with Nathan Wade, whom she appointed a special prosecutor.
The two were forced to admit during courtroom testimony they'd

(24:03):
been in a romantic relationship and that she was paying
the guy hundreds of thousands of dollars and they were
basically shacking up at his place. I mean, the whole
thing was a disgrace. Look, I didn't agree with bringing
this case obviously, and I think I made that very clear.
But if you do bring a case, you have a
responsibility to the people that are paying for this case

(24:25):
that you bring it to the best of your ability.
That's your job, meaning that if you become a county
prosecutor and you decide to prosecute, whether I agree with
it or not, you've got to bring your best people
on the job, not your boyfriend, unless your boyfriend is
supremely qualified. But even then still it's a huge conflict
of venturists, but in this case he was not supremely qualified.
This guy had basically dealt with traffic court. And then

(24:49):
it became a huge mess because they lied, and then
the money trail and whether or not she got some
of that money, and where she was when she said
she wasn't with hi him, and where he was when
he said he wasn't with her, And then it was
clear that there were real questions around money laundering with
these two and the fact that she was paying this

(25:12):
guy even though he was not the best guy for
the job in Fulton County, Georgia, to prosecute a former
president of the United States on this very novel concept,
this novel legal concept of election interference. To begin with,
the case was going to be a challenge for a
season prosecutor who knew election law and knew what he

(25:33):
was doing, let alone somebody who had no idea what
he was doing but was getting paid what six hundred
thousand dollars by the county prosecutor's office. And then, of course,
after this whole thing blew up, she was booted from
the case in March twenty twenty four and barred from
prosecuting the case by the Georgia Court of Appeals. She

(25:55):
tried to fight to remain on the case. She lost
her appeal. In the motion to drop the charges the prosecute,
the new prosecutor listed a series of reasons to dismissed
the case, including that it could take upwards of a
decade to get the trial with the president not set
to leave office until January twenty twenty nine. Oh wait

(26:17):
till I find that he's running for a third term.
Just kidding, kidding, relaxed the prosecuting Attorney's council. If Georgia
doesn't have the resources to handle such a sweeping indictment,
and the racketeering conspiracy theory of the prosecution isn't viable.
This is where it gets very interesting here and where

(26:38):
I think we could have said from day one this
case was a joke. Well, jokes have an intended punchline.
In this particular case, this whole thing was about one thing,
and that was getting Donald Trump and only getting Donald Trump.
So it was political weaponization. Overt acts such as arranging

(26:58):
a phone call, issuing a public statement, treating to the
public to watch the Georgia Senate Subcommittee hearings, texting someone
to attend those hearings, or answering a sixty three minute
phone call without providing the context of that conversation, just
to name a few examples, are not acts I would

(27:20):
consider sufficient to sustain a Rico case. Excuse me, let's
think about this too, because the Rico charged the Rico
is what they used to go after the mafia, They
go after big criminal enterprises, drug dealers. They charged the
President and these other individuals with Rico and this grand conspiracy,

(27:44):
and then had a subpar prosecutor make money off of
his girlfriend to prosecute the case, even though this was
a joke of a prosecution to begin with, and names
like Rudy Giuliani and others who were caught up in
this Mark Is the former White House Chief of Staff,
and people that had had done absolutely not, I mean nobody,

(28:05):
nobody did anything wrong here, but to argue that this
was a was a Rico case, that Rico literally what
they used to bring down the heads of the of
the five families in New York, like the Gottis and
the Gambinos, and then going after Trump in this manner
and suggesting that this was this orchestrated effort. They were

(28:25):
all in on this, even a priest. They were all
in on this. And the evidence was Trump's tweet, Trump
telling people to watch a Senate subcommittee hearing Trump's phone call,
and that was it. That was it. I mean, I mean,
it was bad. The lack of evidence was so bad
in this case. But the other tell too that this

(28:49):
was just purely political was Fonny Wills's statements through out
you know, Fonny Wills, from the day that she was
running for office or the day that she was elected,
to the day that she gave this case up up.
Phonie Willis made it clear that this was always about
getting Donald Trump. She said it on the campaign trail,
she said it when she was out giving speeches, and

(29:09):
it rallies and for the people out there who call
themselves civil libertarians, who believe that everybody's innocent until proven guilty,
who believe that the government should not be weaponized against people,
this case was everything that should have set them on fire,
that should have said to them, this is exactly why
I became a civil libertarian, so that I could fight

(29:31):
to defend people who are wrongfully accused by their government
and targeted for political purposes by their government. Where no
crime has actually been committed. But we're targeting them based
on the following criteria. Whether it's race, whether it's their politics,
whatever it is, it's not okay. And yet it was crickets.

(29:54):
They were cheering her on, just like they were cheering
on Tiss James in New York. Same thing. Another person
runs for office. I will get Donald Trump. I will
find something. And when do they get them on? Inflating
the value of mar Lago and other properties a joke?
A victim was crime where nobody ever said that they

(30:14):
would not do business with Donald Trump. Again, none of
the people were victims. Nobody ever alleged they were taken
for a ride. Nobody ever ever complained. Nobody, not the banks,
not the insurance companies, nobody. In fact, they all said
they would happily do business with them. Again, Where were
the civil Libertarians? Then crickets? But the good news is here.

(30:39):
I'm the Dana Show on travel Chaos Wednesday, I be
nice to everybody on planes Wednesday, pre Thanksgiving Extravaganza. The
case is officially dropped in Georgia. Finito, Goodbye, farewell, It's
the Dana Show.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
Don't go away, It's the folks over at super Beats.
You guys are familiar with superbats and Human. What makes
the story different is where it began. Human was founded
out of the UT Health Science Center, built on real
cardiovascular research around blood flow and nitric oxide, and unlike
other supplement brands, Human is science born, not just science ish.

(31:16):
Their products work and you can fiel them working. UT
athletes have used superbats for over a decade, calling it
their cheat code for recovery and endurance, and you can
use it for the same reason to support healthy blood
pressure and circulation. Today, more than one hundred and sixty
college and pro teams use Human products, so your favorite
team probably does too. And if you've seen the Human

(31:40):
logo on the Longhorns field this football season, that's more
than a sponsorship. It is a signal from Human and
UT together leading the future of cardiovascular health for athletes
and for everyone. You can pick up super Beats at
your local Walmart and start supporting your cardiovascular health today.
Get on the road to better health with super Beats from.

Speaker 5 (32:01):
Human on the go. And need a quick news fix
with a fun twist, follow Dana's Absurd Truth podcast for
bite size and formative episodes. Perfect for your busy schedule
on Apple or wherever you get your podcast.

Speaker 1 (32:15):
Well, we got some pardons. We got pardons for the
turkeys by the President. It's rich Ze only and for
Dan and it's great to be with you today on
this crazy travel Wednesday. Hopefully good luck and God's speed
where you're going, and be safe and obviously if you're
taking a flight, please listen to what the secretary translation
said and just be nice to people. I mean, being
nice is really not that hard, really not that hard.

(32:38):
I just don't think the airlines make it easy on
any of us. I really don't. They've made the travel
experience when they show all those videos of people who
are traveling back in the day, when they get all
dressed up in suits and everything. It was an experience.
It was a luxury. It's very much the difference between
taking a train in Europe versus the United States. I
did a trip to Italy years ago with some listeners

(33:00):
of mine out of Philly, and I wound up taking
the train with my parents for the day. We just
kind of snuck out and went over to Venice, and
it was just such a different experience. It becomes like
a like a thing to do versus here. It's just
it's like it's like the last thing you want to
do is get out of train or in many cases
a plane, and everybody just gets cranky because the whole

(33:22):
process is brutal. It's brutal, it really is. And I think,
I think, I think traveling in general, especially if you
have kids, and I've got three of them, it kind
of brings out the worst in people. You end up
getting just just I don't know, nasty with people, and
you know, you get frustrated because the kids get cranky,

(33:43):
and then a kid screaming on an airplane. There have
been times I've contemplated, do I need a parachute. I mean,
that's how bad it's been. I've seen a bill when
we had I remember when our kids were really young too,
and they were pretty good in flights. We had a
flat at Hawaii once to see my sister in law
and brother in law. That was a long flight and

(34:04):
they said, well, you know, give your son bed and
drill and mental help, and he had a reverse effect,
so he wound up being up the entire flight. I've
seen parents who will buy everybody in the rows around
them drinks if their kids are screaming and crying the
whole time. And I've also seen some people just be
so nasty to each other too. In general, it's just
not the best experience. So there is some of that,

(34:26):
no doubt about that, But it does be driving. In
my opinion, long drives with kids are tough. We drove
down to Myrtle Beach from from Jersey to Myrtle Beach,
South Carolina and see my parents a couple of years ago,
and that trip was a long trip, and that was
during COVID too, and nothing was open, so we had
to wind up going to like remember the remember back
then when you would go to a place a McDonald's

(34:47):
or whatever, and they they'd bring the to bring the
food out to you, depending on where you were living.
Because I had to go through a couple of blue
states to get to Red state freedom. They well Blue
Jersey for example, and Pennsylvania until I could break free
into the boundaries, but first Delaware and Maryland, and then

(35:07):
finally you get down to Virginia, You're like, ah, this
is so much better. At least it was. I don't
know how it was going to be going forward, but
I would just say this so I'd say that the
traveling today. The good news about it at least is
that gas prices are down. That's the good news, and
that's the effect of the President deregulating energy, and the
effect of that is going to be felt in the

(35:30):
economy without question. The question, though, is how long until
we start feeling it in food prices, because that is
something that Democrats are capitalizing on, the issue of affordability.
And in the next hour here of Danias show, we'll
talk about that and why it is that they're going
towards people like socialist comedy cook jobs like zoron ma'am Donnie,

(35:51):
and the President who I think artfully played him in
the Oval office, so you prop him up as the
leader of the Democrats. And you know the first rule
of fight you don't talk about fight clubs. So why
are the Democrats not shutting up about Democrat fight club.
I'll tell you all about it. It's rich Z only
for Dana. Don't go away, b y r in A.

Speaker 2 (36:12):
I've told you guys a million times. You know I carry.
I have no problem using lethal force to protect myself
or protect a loved one. And so when you are
facing disarmament because of local or municipal restrictions. You need
to figure out what you're gonna do in order to
keep yourself safe, and that's why it's good to have
a diversified weapons array, and Berna can be part of that.

(36:34):
One of their newest ones, the Compact Launcher, smallest the smartphone,
but it also deters the threat because it shoots chemical
irritant projectiles as Berner guns do that can deter threats
from up to fifty feet away when compared to regular
stunt guns. The Berna CL Compact Launcher has a fifteen
round shot capacity per cartridge, easy target acquisition, no recoil,

(36:57):
and the legal flexibility and this is key. It's legal
in all fifty states. There's no background checks, there's no permits,
it can be shipped right to your door. There's no
tax stamp. And if you're a college kid, you know
you're living on your own and you're too young to
actually carry, you can still have some protection with the
Berna CL. It's all made right here in US of A.
And you can take advantage of their Black Friday and

(37:17):
Cyber Monday sale get fifteen percent off sitwide, the biggest
sale of the year, and it's only at Berna dot
com b y r Na dot com. Tell them Dana
sent you.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
It's the big travel day today on Wednesday, it is
the Dana Show. It's Rich is the only from Philadelphia
and with you today and great to be in for Dana.
I appreciate you being here as well. We had breaking
news in the first hour of the show. I'll just
recap it. I you just get in here where you've
been case against the president in Georgia, the Fugazi as
my people call it, election interference case officially dropped. It

(37:52):
is over. It is over, and that is a great
thanksgiving gift to the President today and really a gift
to anybody who believes in the room of law and
is against the political weaponization of our justice system. So
that's great. That happened earlier when the guy who became
the prosecutor because nobody else would take the case after
disgraced former prosecutor Fawnie Willis was thrown off the case

(38:14):
and literally nobody else wanted the case. And the way
it works under Georgia laws, they have to essentially get
another prosecutor to want to take it, and nobody would.
The guy who was in charge of finding somebody took
it himself. Then he announced today that there was no
case there, there was no case to be had. The
Rico case was flimsy. He recommended the state drop all charges,

(38:36):
and within less than an hour actually after he wrote that,
the state dropped the charges. So that's it, it's over,
and there you go. The President getting a huge gift
is thanksgiving well deserved, too well deserved. But I just
want to say thank you to Fawnie Willis for helping
elect him president, and thank you to Leticia James, and

(38:56):
thank you to Merrick Garland, thank you to Jack Smith,
thank you, thank you, thank you, because your idiotic pursuit
of the weaponization against him, with this imbasolic idea that
if he becomes the nominee then he will lose because
he just can't win again was wrong, because it turns

(39:19):
out people can separate the man from the policies. Now, look,
I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm worried about midterms
because I'm worried about the affordability issue, and I think
that people have very quick response time expectations these days.
We live in a time where we get everything on
demand and we want it and we don't even like

(39:42):
seeing commercials anymore. And it's bad with kids too, Like
I was watching a Christmas movie with my five year
old and a commercial came on. She goes, Dad, fast
forward through this, and I said, I can't. It's on
something called television. But it's just we're at that place
of instant gratification, the idea that we have to wait
for prices to come down. But prices didn't go up overnight,

(40:04):
and a lot of it was tied to energy, and
a lot of it it will come down because I
do believe the deregulation, the reform of the permitting process,
getting drilling going, and making the cost of fuel, which
is dependent upon everything in the supply chain for the economy.
If you're not watching Landman, I don't know what to

(40:25):
tell you because Landman's great. And season two, the second episode,
he's in the car, he's in his truck, i should say,
and he's listening to the radio and these guys are
talking about how the price of oil is going down
and how concerning it is for the economy, and Billy
Bob Thoren's character is saying, yeah, except that means that
gas prices go down, and when gas prices go down.
That means that eventually people have more money in their pocket,

(40:48):
which means they spend more money on things, which helps
the economy. And then when diesel prices go down, which
then follows after oil prices go down, then the price
of food goes down and the price of everything else
goes down. And then the joke is at the guys
on the red or essentially saying everything he's saying, but
after he says it, because he's the oil guy and
he gets it and he understands all that. I understand that,
you understand that, But there are a lot of people

(41:09):
out there who don't understand it, and they're impatient, and
they say it's not The economy is not where it
needs to be yet. And much like how there are
people who can separate themselves from their feelings about President
Trump in a negative way to focus on policy, there
are people who will, even if they feel positive about
the president, they will distance themselves from him politically or

(41:31):
at least inside internally on their feelings. There's nothing really
to separate politically in the sense that he's I mean,
he's a lame duck. He's not going to run again,
can't run again, but his approval ratings will go down,
and that has ramifications obviously in politics, in every area
of life. I do think these are going to get better.

(41:51):
I really do. I'm not saying that with blind optimism,
but I think that the mistake the White House makes,
and I've said this before, is not acknowledging the pain.
Jade Vance's done a very good job of that. Jadie
Vance has done a very good job of saying, please
be patient with us. We're getting there. We know it's
not fast enough for a lot of people. We know
that it's it's gonna take some time. But what you

(42:11):
can't do is the mistake of Biden administration did in
the first term was to turn around and say, everything's great.
You go to the grocery store, whatever you're paying, it's fine,
it's really good. You feel good about it. You can
spend a lot of things. You can't spend what people
are paying money when it comes to food, and they
just can't spend that. Either they feel like it's expensive

(42:34):
or they don't. Either they have money or they don't.
It's not one of those things you can spend. And
I don't think it's ever a wise idea to believe
that people are dumb enough to fall for that. And
that's exactly what the Biden administration did. They just kept
telling everybody things were great. People like things, but things
are not great. Look at this, Look at this grocery
store receipt. Jade Vance is very good at the empathy factor.

(42:57):
And they said, I don't mean the phony Bill Clinton
empathy if I feel pain, I mean the legitimate saying
to people. It's gonna get take time. We didn't get
in this place overnight. It's going to take some time.
And a lot of this is absolutely one tied to
the price of energy, which caused food prices to surge,
because it doesn't just affect what they put into the tractor,

(43:19):
but it's also the cost of feed. And I mean,
I'm not telling you anything you don't know, but a
lot of this is stuff that when people are thinking
about they just go, I don't know. I just I
always told things are going to get better, and things
aren't getting better. Democrats sees on the affordability issue obviously
by highlighting all the things you can get for free
from the government and it doesn't work, and you know that,
and I know that. Unfortunately, there's a generation out there

(43:41):
that did not grow up with the Cold War like
we did. And for them, even the movie Red Dawn,
all they got was the crappy remake. They didn't even
get the original. I mean, they watch it. They should,
everybody should. Like I was watching Fox News the other day,
and you know the actor who played I even Dragh
was on when Rocky Balboa beat Ivan Drago in the

(44:05):
Soviet Union of all places. And if I can change,
you can change, we all can change. That was a
pivotal moment in the Berlin Wall falling and then obviously
Cuba falling apart because they didn't have the Soviet Union's
fake money to lean on anymore. And it doesn't work,
and socialism doesn't work. But the problem is that we've
done a terrible job. No, let me rephrase that they've

(44:26):
done an excellent job. They being teachers and unions and
college professors and universities, they've done an excellent job convincing
young people at socialism actually can work. It just hasn't
been tried correctly. It's the argument you used to have
in college with your hacky sack buddy. He'd be like,
you know, it could work if they just tried it right,

(44:46):
just hasn't been tried right. You know, what do you mean?
Like Russia? You name Russia, China, you name all these countries,
and they're like, yeah, but they had murderous dictators. But
that's the point. You can't have that system without having
murderist dictators. There's enough people to feed, so they gotta
kill a lot of them to feed him. I mean,
I know it sounds harsh to say it, but it's
the truth. That's why it doesn't work. There's just not

(45:08):
enough mouths to feed. There's not enough people to make
the money to take care of everybody. But they don't
want to hear that, and they've not been taught that.
So when a guy like ma'm Donnie comes on the
scene and says we can make things affordable for people
by making things free, people are like, well why not.
There's all these rich people out there, and they hear
Bernie Sanders yelling about the oligarchy every single day, every

(45:29):
single day, every five minutes. Every time Bernie opens his mouth,
he says oligarchy. He can't say anything without using the
word oligarchy in it. Like he probably gets up at
a restaurant asks where the bathroom is and then yells
about the oligarchy on his way to the bathroom. He's
literally the crazy old man who just yells oligarchy. It's
like an oligarchy Tourett's that he has just yells it

(45:50):
all the time. But they believe this stuff, and they
believe there's all this money out there, you just have
to go chase it down. And they also don't understand
the concept that, well, people who have money can leave,
they don't have to stay. That's another benefit of having
a lot of money is you don't have to stay
where you are. You can leave. You could go someplace
else and live there, even if it's outside of the
United States of America. Now, look, I don't believe that

(46:12):
this country is going to elect a socialist president anytime soon.
I think the Democrats may end up nominating one this
time around versus twenty sixteen, twenty twenty, and twenty twenty four.
And here's what I mean by that. In twenty sixteen,
if all things were left to their own devices, Bernie
Sanders would have become the Democrat nominee for president. But
the Democrat Party and their process by how they select

(46:34):
candidates is very different from the Republican parties process. The
Republican Party truly is an open primary process. Now, granted,
if you're the president and you're in power, you can
control the levers of that to make the primary a
whole lot less competitive in terms of your reelection. And
every president does that obviously, because you control the state

(46:55):
party chairs, you control the machine, and that's you know,
and also to the state party chairs in the county chairs.
They all want invitations to the big fancy political events,
so they're going to be with you anyway. So it's
very difficult to beat an incumbent in a primary to
begin with. But with a Democrat Party, even when it's
an open seat or an open White House, the super
delegates still control the process. So they made sure Hillary

(47:17):
Clinton was a nominee in twenty sixteen, they made sure
Joe Biden was a nominee in twenty twenty. You probably
remember the day. They all dropped out on the same day,
except for Elizabeth Warren. Her job was to keep Bernie
from winning, so she was there with her socialist nonsense
to buttress Bernie, and then Joe Biden wins, and then
in twenty twenty four, of course, a closed convention. Not
a single Democrat got to vote for their party's nominee

(47:40):
for President of the United States, not a single one.
It was a joke of a roll call vote at
the convention. It wasn't an open convention. Twenty twenty eight
may change things, though, because AOC Alexandria Costio Cortez, the
heir to Bernie's mantle, is definitely running for president. She's
got a scam right now where you can you can
you can get a turkey. They're supposed to go to

(48:02):
charity that actually ends up going to essentially like her,
not her campaign specifically, but it's like Act Blue or
one of those other things that are connected to her
political ascension. Let's put it that way. And she may
very well end up being able to seize the nomination.
And the reason for that is because there are Democrats

(48:24):
right now who are fighting to oust Chuck Schumer, and
they're calling it Democrat fight club. The New York Times
had a big piece on this, and I actually talked
about it yesterday and Fox News. I was on there
on America Reports with Sandra Smith, and I was talking
about this because the first rule of fight club is
you don't talk about fight Club. These Democrats won't shut
up about it, and they're telling everybody who will listen

(48:46):
how they are going to take down Chuck Schumer and
take down the establishment, and in doing so, that frees
up a lane now for a socialist like in AOC
to actually win the nomination without the party stopping her.
But I still think I think the party is going
to try to stop her because the interests of a
socialist don't align with all of the oligarchs, the super delegates,

(49:08):
the money people, the corporations that all lavish the spending
on Democrats. It doesn't line up with them. And they
are wise enough to know that while maybe a Mam
Donnie can win in New York, and maybe a Mam
Donnie can win a Mam Donnie like cam that can
win in Seattle, Portland, Oregon, Portland, Maine for that matter,
you can't win nationally. But that doesn't mean the Democrats

(49:31):
are not going to make affordability the issue heading into
midterms and heading into twenty twenty eight. It's the data show,
it's rich, it is the only in for Dana.

Speaker 2 (49:40):
Don't go away, our partners that he'll bring you the program.
It's our friends over at amos squared a great way
to collect your ammunition right, collect ammunition and never run out.
You're never going to run out. You're never gonna be
worried about baarshelves and high prices like back in twenty
twenty with the Panic Mine, It's America's ammunition Reserve. AMMO

and secure your AMMO supply for the future. Don't run
out when accounts, stock up before training and restock after
to stay ready. That's ammosquared dot com. Tell them Dana
sent you, and now.

Speaker 4 (50:38):
All of the news you would probably miss. It's time
for Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 1 (50:44):
Five things you got to know, including this one. You
know the book He'll Billy Elgy. That's a book written
by jd Vance, Vice President's memoir. Well it is also
used now for a drug mule. That's right. Drugs were
seeking to an Ohio prison. So too the pages of
Hillbilly Elegy. That's right. Thirty year old Austin Siebert of

(51:06):
Toledo convicted of spraying with narcotics and then shipping to
the Grafton Correctional Institute. It disguised it as an Amazon
order and it was laced with drugs, and there you go. So,
of course, the central theme of Hillbilly lg Is the
impacts of narcotics addiction on JD Vance's family and the
broader culture. Is it Hillbilly? The inmate asks, I don't

(51:29):
know what you're talking about. He replies, momentarily confused, then
suddenly remembering, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the book.
The book I'm reading a blank in romance novel Genius,
Americans were fine for shooting a moose from a motor
boat in Ontario. Don't shoot a freaking moose from a boat.
What are you doing? Two American men have been find

(51:50):
a total of ten thousand dollars for illegally shooting a
bull moose from a motor boat on a lake in
northwestern Ontario. Yeah, that's you know, that's not cool. They
they had, you know, shooting it from a boat is
just not that's not okay. Meta shut down an internal
study that linked Facebook used through worse mental health. Unsealed
court filings describe how Meta dismissed its own findings while

(52:12):
downplaying the risk to teens. Back in twenty twenty. It
was an effort called Project Mercury to examine the psychological
effects of Facebook use. They worked with Nielsen, the survey
research firm, and then they shut it all down because
it was not going their way. I think they thought
maybe it would show it was good, but yeah, not

(52:35):
so much, and they covered that up, so no surprise there.
A thief stole a trail camera in Vicksburg and then
the camera was left on and was recording him and
his idiot friend near a hunting ground near Warrenton Road
in Vicksburg. The sixteen second video clip shows a man
taken into custody by the Jackson PD. I guess when

(52:57):
you steal a camera, make sure to you know, turn
her off. Just throw them there and just do that.
And if you have any of those old SD cards
in your house, just know this. They're losing data. So
eventually they're just going to become what we call e
waste and no longer good. It's the data show, it's
rich in for data. Don't go away.

Speaker 2 (53:17):
Our partners that will bring you the program. It is
the folks over at super Beats. You guys are familiar
with super beats. Human the Human was founded the company
out of the UT Health Science Center, built on real
cardiovascular research around blood flow and nitrocoxide. Unlike other supplement brands,
Human is science born and not just science ish. The

have used Superbats for over a decade. They call it
their cheat code for recovery and endurance, and you can
use it for the same reason to support healthy blood
pressure and circulation. Today, more than one hundred sixty one
hundred and sixty college and pro teams use Human products.
Favorite team probably does too. And if you've seen the

Human logo on the Longhorns field this football season, that's
more than a sponsorship. It's a signal from Human and

Speaker 1 (54:39):
So, the case against the President is over in Georgia
and the death to the turkeys over after the President
pardoned them the White House. Welcome back to the Danish Show.
It's great to have you here today. It's me Rich
Ziolie in for Dana. Pleasure to be with you on
this travel Wednesday's audio for you as well. So let's
start with the President joking about the turkeys that he

(54:59):
pardoned and the names he wanted to give them besides
their actual names.

Speaker 6 (55:05):
Cut one, Okay, that's going to be saved. The turkey's
being partnered today go by the names of Gobble and Waddle.
When I first saw that pictures, I thought we should
send them.

Speaker 1 (55:17):
Well, I was gonna I shouldn't say this.

Speaker 6 (55:20):
I was going to call him Chuck a Nancy, but
then I realized I wouldn't be partnering them. I would
never partner those two people.

Speaker 1 (55:28):
No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 7 (55:30):
No.

Speaker 1 (55:31):
Chuck Schumer at the heart of what I was talking
about in last segment about fight club, where these Democrats
are now going after him, try to take him out.
He's the biggest turkey in Washington right now after the shutdown.
And what's crazy about it, of course, is that it
was a shutdown for absolutely no reason unless you factor
at New Jersey in Virginia, which I am factoring that in.

(55:51):
And I think a lot of people outside of watching
those two gubernatory races may not really get the impact
of that. But I lived it. I lived it on
the ground every day in New Jersey and the gubernatorial
election where I really thought we had a strong chance
of winning. The polls were showing it was a one
point race. We had a great candidate. But the shutdown.

(56:13):
The impact of the shutdown on the snap benefit recipients,
and there's like eight hundred and thirty thousand of them
in New Jersey, and many of them work. They're not
all just dead beats. That was an issue that we
just really couldn't factor in. The second was the President
canceling something noticed the Gateway Tunnel project. It was going

(56:34):
to be the expansion of the rail tunnels into New
York City from all along the Northeast corridor. And the
Democrat candidate for governor, the now governor elect, Mikey Cheryl,
played up big time on that, going to train stations,
having her people hand out flyers how the President's making
your commute worse and so you're getting ready cranky commuters,
because we've been talking about that throughout the whole show.
People get cranky when they commute. So keeping the government

(56:57):
shutdown going until election day, and then of course you
ended on the Sunday after the election when you won
both Virginia, where you had a lot of government workers
who may not have come out for that election. They
may have just stayed home. And that was what I
think it was all about. I really do. And I
think a lot of this, a lot of this is
performative in the sense that I don't I mean, they

(57:19):
want Chuck Schumer Gonne for a lot of reasons. I
don't really think it's over the shutdown, though, I think
they were all in on it. I think they were
protesting too much. They knew what they were going for here.
They had to find a reason to get Democrats who
were very disaffected out to vote in places like Virginia,
New Jersey. And it worked. The shutdown worked in that sense.
Achieved nothing except those two big goubernatorial victories. And I

(57:44):
absolutely one hundred percent who play a huge part in it.
And that's why when the election was over and they won,
on that Sunday they announced the government's reopening and they're like,
oh man, we're so mad that we had to keep
the government shut down and achieved absolutely nothing except winning
these two major races. Now, I really did laugh though,
when the President made the joke about the pardons with

(58:05):
the turkeys. This is my favorite cut too.

Speaker 6 (58:09):
Terrible situation caused by a man named Sleepy Joe Biden.
He used an auto pen last year for the Turkey's pardon.
So I have the official duty to determine, and I
have determined that last year's Turkey partons are totally invalid,
as are the pardons of about every other person that

(58:30):
was pardoned other than Where's Hunter.

Speaker 1 (58:35):
That's because Hunter got the real deal. Pardon the one
in ink he had you, because otherwise he would sing
like a canary. That was always the thing about Hunter Biden,
and to this day, I think you have to realize
that was the reason they were able to get Joe
Biden out of the race. Joe Biden did not want
to get out of the race. He never would have

(58:55):
gotten out of the race. He's a snarky, stubborn, old Coajur,
stubborn politician. He wasn't going anywhere. But they had the
goods on him with the Hunter Biden laptop, which of
course we all know is real, and they knew what
he was doing in the White House when Obama was
president and Biden had the Ukraine portfolio among other things,
and he was making money off of it, and they
knew all this. And I remember when the pod Save

(59:18):
America Bros. Or Not Bad essentially saying that Joe Biden,
you can go out a hero after decades of serving America,
or we will destroy your legacy. It was a very
very not at all not at all subtle warning. We
know you're corrupt, we have the receipts, and we will

(59:39):
make sure everybody knows you're corrupt and God only knows
what that means for you. And remember something too, back
when Biden, when they thought Biden could win reelection against Trump,
and they were working at the same time. This is
why today with the State of Georgia dropping all the
charges against the president and the twenty twenty election interference
Fugesi Rico case, they were going after the president, the

(01:00:02):
current president, the former president of the time, Trump in
every possible legal venue they could, and they were trying
to get Hunter off in every legal venue they could.
So when they had that first plea deal with all
the tax stuff wrapped up in the gun evasion, so
the judge could not reject the plea agreement from the
Department of Justice, it was only Hunter's own stupidity that

(01:00:23):
that plea agreement was rejected because she asked some questions
like could he be charged in the future for being
a say, unregistered foreign agent, and his attorney said yes,
and Hunter, being an arrogant dope, said well, I can't
accept this then. But at the time they thought Biden
could win, they thought Trump would go down. They figured
he'd get the nomination and lose, and they just wanted

(01:00:44):
all the Biden stuff to go away. And then as
Biden's popularity went down and the economy got worse, they
realized now that they needed that to hold over his
head if they had to get him out of the race,
which is why they ultimately charged him again in Los Angeles,
and that was over the tax stuff, and then they
charged him separately on the gun stuff, and there was

(01:01:05):
not going to be a plea agreement. They would delay it,
but it was always there in their back pocket if
they needed it, and that's ultimately how they got Biden
out of the race. Otherwise he would have went down
to the wire. But they were able to use that
against them, And someday I'll be proven right on that point,
just like I was proven right in the fact when
I said Biden would never be the candidate, and I
predicted a few days before the debate that the debate

(01:01:27):
was entirely designed to set him up, to show America
that he could not run, that he lost his friggin mind,
and that was obviously the case there as well. So
the autopen stuff, and whether or not anything ever comes
of it, I don't know. I don't think so, but
I do think that it's good to get it out
there so that everybody knows. And I give James Comer
and the Oversight Committee, I give them enormous credit for

(01:01:49):
raising this issue and bringing it to light, because while
you may not be able to reverse those part ins,
it's good for everybody to know exactactly how the president
of the United States was not functioning and have a
vice president at the time had a constitutional obligation to
do something about it and didn't. Because another name that's
being mentioned for twenty twenty eight, which I think would

(01:02:11):
be a gift is Kamala Harris. Of course, I mean
she's polling higher than Gavin Newsom's oily, slick hair in
California right now. She's probably gonna run. I think that
be a disaster for the Democrats, but hey, bring it,
go for it, and do it. Kamala Harris AOC ticket
while you're at it sounds great. No, look, I don't
want to I don't want to discount the effect of

(01:02:31):
the of Kamala Harris and or AOC. Excuse me, and
young people, I think there's a very strong just like
young people with socialist candidates in general, I just don't
think there's enough of them, and America is not ready
to elect a socialist, thank god. But no, I mean,
that's the reality is that it's the same thing with
the policy declarations that Biden issued, the biggest one being

(01:02:54):
the decision to end the export of liquid natural gas, which,
if you remember, Speaker Mike Johnson said he confronted President
Biden about that, and Biden didn't know what he was
talking about, and at the time we all just dismissed
it as Joe having one of his Joe days. But
then he got to wonder if the staff was going

(01:03:15):
rogue and issuing pardons to anybody they wanted, were they
also issuing policy proclamations like you can't export liquid natural gas?
Because the Joe Biden that at one time was smart
enough to become the chair of the Judiciary Committee, to
keep getting elected senator, to ultimately become Vice President of
the United States of America, ultimately become the republic the
Democrat nominee for president, that guy never would have issued

(01:03:35):
a ban on the export of liquid natural gas. When
the must win state in the twenty twenty four election
was Pennsylvania, home of liquid natural gas, the state's biggest
source of energy and source of the economy. As well,
never would have done that. But I do think people

(01:03:57):
in his administration went rogue, just like they went rogue
with the Pardons, because they figured, we what why not
guys not running the show, We can do anything we want.
So that day that Mike Johnson asked President Biden about
it and he didn't know about it, it's probably true
he didn't. So exposing all this stuff is very important
due and I'm glad that they're doing it, and I
hope they keep doing it. I really do. I hope
they keep doing it. Let everybody know the days of

(01:04:20):
them covering things up are over. And to that end,
we got to get to the truth of what happened
in Butler. We need to know everything that's going on
with the FBI, the Secret Service, what we're not being told. Now,
there were rumors the President was going to fire the
FBI director, Cash Bettel. He shot those rumors down personally.
That doesn't mean, though that Cash is not on his

(01:04:41):
way out the door. But this is what the President said,
cut three and there would be nothing like it to release.

Speaker 6 (01:04:50):
Oh he's shooing a good job, Cash, matel No, he's
son a great job.

Speaker 8 (01:04:55):
I think.

Speaker 1 (01:04:58):
I think that there is still the problem within the
Justice Department of the DOJH. You just have a lot
of people there that are still working to undermine this administration.
And just like how it takes a long time to
turning economy around after years and years of purposeful but
negligence spending and years of just destroying America's energy independence,

(01:05:20):
running it into the ground, It's going to take a
long time to bring that up. It's gonna take a
long time to really flesh out all these deep state
swamp creatures who worked against Trump all those years and
are still working against him in a lot of ways.
But it's inexcusable in my opinion that we don't know
the full accounting of Butler and what happened with that
attempted assassination of President Trump. The fact that they told

(01:05:41):
us that the guy, the shooter, Thomas Crooks, he didn't
have a digital footprint. Then it turns out he does
have a digital footprint. He had a big digital footprint, actually,
And then all the evidence that was in burn bags,
you know, and Susan Crabtree. It real clear politics has
done an amazing job of exposing all this and how
there's a lot of really lack them arale within the

(01:06:02):
Secret Service over all this because they still don't have
the answers and they feel like they're being scapegoaded. And
that's not okay, not okay, all right. We still got
to talk about what else is thought okay, which is
the Democrats with their phony you can't follow an illegal
order video, which every person in the military knows not
to follow an a legal order. But why are the

(01:06:22):
Democrats doing it? I have theories on that as well,
and there's some new information around that as well. Again,
the breaking story from earlier in the show today on
The Data Show is that the case against the former
the current president now in Georgia back when he was
the former president, is officially over. That's right, State drop
the charges today after the prosecutor said this is going nowhere.

(01:06:46):
So great news for President Trump on this pre Thanksgiving
Wednesday edition of The Data Show with me rich In

Speaker 1 (01:08:03):
It's his laugh mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida man. Well, in this case it is Florida woman,
at least for this story anyway. A Florida woman was
charged with attempted murder after police said she attacked her
boyfriend with a machete during a fight over cell phones. Yes,

(01:08:25):
Liz Fretschel, forty nine, arrested on Friday and booking to
the Turner Guildford Night Correctional Center, where she's being held
without bond. They were having dinner at a Texas roadhouse
in Miami Thursday night when he reportedly saw photos on
her phone and her hugging another man and holding hands
with him. He stormed out of the restaurant, leaving the
woman by herself. Then he returned to her apartment to
give her back some of her belongings. The boyfriend meant

(01:08:48):
to leave her items on an air conditioning unit outside
the apartment and then go home. However, he realized he
left his car keys with the items, so we had
to go back. She had already picked up the items
and brought them inside. When he tried to enter the apartment,
she tried to show the door on him. He eventually
made entry, spotted his keys on her bed, and then
she grabbed a machete and said you were not going anywhere,
you son of a bee. You're gonna pay. Then went

(01:09:10):
into the closet and pulled out a machete. As the
boyfriend attempted to grab his keys and make a run
for it, she swiped the machete at him, slicing his
right elbow while she shouted, I'm going to kill you,
you son of a bee. Fearing for his life, the
boyfriend escaped the apartment and ran back to his car.
He drove to the hospital. He was treated for a
deep laceration to his elbow. Now, I don't know if

(01:09:31):
they had any leftovers from the Texas roadhouse experience. I
don't know, And I don't know the status of those leftovers,
whether or not he was able to grab those two,
whether or not they're still in her apartment and now
just kind of rotting in the fridge that I don't know,
all right. Now, that's back to Florida man. Here, two
actually Florida men, two elderly men, ended up in handcuffs
after they allegedly went on his scenic nature walk hoping

(01:09:54):
for a lucky stroll with a happy ending. According to
the Saint Lucy County Sheriff's off this Special Investigations Division
responded to an ongoing complaint of lewde and lascivious activity
that was happening with in the DJ. Wilcox Preserved near
Old Dixie Highway in Fort Pierce. Deputies launched an undercover
operation to begin monitoring the area. The Sheriff's office said

(01:10:16):
that within minutes, an elderly man eighty two years old
approation undercover detective, exposed himself and propositioned himself for sexual gratification.
And then moments later, another elderly man eighty seven years
old approach undercover detective and proposition himself for sexual activity,
and both gentlemen were booked on counts of exposure of

(01:10:38):
sexual organs. I'm gonna, I'm gonna go on a limb
here and say that they were also taking some pharmaceutical
little pharmaceutical assistance as well. I'm gonna I'm gonna go
on record with that too. So whether or not they'll
get charged with the legal possession of AG or anything
like that that, I don't know. I don't know the

(01:10:58):
answer to that. Florida man set his own home on fire.
I feel like we've done this story a million times
here on the Dana Show. Set his own home on
fire after shooting towards a neighbor's house. According to police
in Tampa. They responded to the same neighborhood in Friday
after a man was shot. Investigators are working to see
if the incidents are related. They responded to this someone

(01:11:20):
had set his house on fire, and these charge now
with criminal mischief, arson of a first degree structure, shooting
at within or into a building, and fell in in
possession of a firearm. So wish the man best of
luck on this Thanksgiving and at least, you know, gets

(01:11:40):
an opportunity now to I don't know what have little
Turkey in prison. I'm not really sure what all these
Florida people get. Otherwise, all right, in the next hour,
let's get into this editious six Will they be going
to prison as we now know that the FBI is
looking into them for their actions. It is the Dana Show.
To me, Rich is the only in for Dana. Joe
still to come.

help bring you the program. It's the folks over at Bernegun.

Speaker 1 (01:12:53):
The Seditious six says they're being called being investigated by
the FBI. What do they know? That's the question. As
we begin this final hour here on the Dana Show,
it's me rich Z the oly in for Dana. Great
to be with you on travel Wednesday. Hope you and
your family have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving and you
enjoy it. I have some recipe ideas which I'll get
to as well a little bit later in the show today.

(01:13:15):
So let's tell you know, it's it's crazy to me
how we're at this place right now where we can't
really see you what the Democrats are up to with
regards to that video that they made with this whole
this hold you can't you can't follow in illegal order,
But then they also can't name an example of an
illegal order being given. Look, I'm just telling you right now,

(01:13:38):
this was entirely done to goat and bait President Trump. Now,
they know that Trump's going to push back. He always does,
that's what he does. Maybe he should have just ignored it.
Maybe he shouldn't have talked about sedition and all the
other things in hanging and everything else. But that's not
how he plays. So he is who he is, and
that's just how he's going to be. They knew that
he would take the bait, and they wanted to be famous,

(01:14:02):
and they wanted everybody to know who they were, and
they wanted to be the new resistance heading into this.
But they also wanted to distract from a very important thing,
and that is the President's positive approval ratings on foreign policy. Remember,
for years, Democrats ran on the notion that he's hitler
he's hitler, he's a fascist. He's going to bring about
World War three. I still remember in the twenty sixteen campaign,

(01:14:25):
back when Hillary Clinton had people who used to work
in the old remember the old underground, like missile silos,
and this one guy was like, I'm convinced Donald Trump's
going to launch nuclear global thermonuclear war. And so here
he is bringing about peace in every area Ukraine, Russia, Israel,

(01:14:46):
the Middle East, countries we've never heard of before, countries
most people can't find on a map. And it completely
destroys the narrative completely. So what do they do. They
go down this road saying you must resist in legal order.
Now they can't name one. That's the thing. They can't
name one. And Scott Jennings on CNN challenge a former

(01:15:10):
Democrat spokesperson about this, what are these illegal orders you
keep you keep speaking about? What are they name one?
And none of them can, by the way, cut nine.
And you said they want them to stop stop.

Speaker 9 (01:15:23):
What they want them to stop speaking out? So you
said speaking out against Trump? So you're saying that you
believe that inherent in the video is that Donald Trump
has given illegal orders.

Speaker 10 (01:15:32):
Now, actually, what I will say about is what argues.

Speaker 9 (01:15:34):
Is is that they're just stating effect, but you're saying
it's speaking against Trump. Speaking against Trump. Then you took
the message the way they intended it. You took it
the way they intended it, which is that Trump has
given an illegal orders and you can't name one, and
nobody else can.

Speaker 1 (01:15:49):
He hasn't. And this other guy who's in the videos,
guy Jason Crowe, I think his name is he was,
He was one of the guys who was one of
the members of congres. He was on TV with Margaret
Brennan and Murgert. Brennan was asking him, it's Colorado congressman,
name in illegal order? He couldn't give one. He was
on another show and he brought up Abu Grab, the

(01:16:10):
prison torture scandal from the Second Gulf War, Second Iraq War,
and then he brought up Vietnam. Vietnam. Are you kidding me?
But that's the thing. They want us talking about this.
They don't want us talking about peace. They don't want
us talking about the president's positive foreign policy. They're happy
to be famous, they're happy to be investigated, They're happy

(01:16:32):
to be to have all these people. They love this.
They're raising money off of this. They're launching political campaigns
off of this. Let's not forget something about Mark Kelly too.
Mark Kelly was a potential pick for Kamala Harris for VP.
Now maybe it would have been better if she went
with him and not that midwestern dufist Tim Waltz. Tampon Tim.

(01:16:54):
Maybe I still think she would have lost no matter
who she picked. Even though she picked Jos Shapiro, she
still would have lost. But the question of course of
when guys like Mark Kelly get burned and feel like, Okay,
I should have been the guy. I'm a a I'm
a former astronaut, military I should have been picked for
VPM and wasn't. Well, he wants to be famous and

(01:17:14):
the FBI is seeking interviews with them over this video.
What were your intentions? Were your intentions to have the
military defire orders been know exactly what they were doing.
Just like with the Hunter Biden Russian laptop letter where
they said this is all the chillings of Russian disinformation,
all the earmarks of Russian disinformation. They give themselves enough
wiggle room where they can say we didn't say it

(01:17:36):
was we're just saying if in case so we're not
saying there's been a legal orders. We're just simply saying
that if theny are given, well then you've got to
refuse him. But they know that, every member the military
knows that, and they can't cite a single example. But
that's what they want to do. They want to distract
from this because at this point, right now, according to
CNN's Harryenton, Donald Trump is at a higher approval rating

(01:17:58):
on foreign policy then at this point in his term
versus George W. Bush or Barack Obama. And let's not
forget something. Barack Obama was mister drone strike. He killed
four American citizens with drones. Nobody ever cared. I cared,
but nobody else seemed to care. Nobody ever called those
orders illegal. Nobody suggested that they at least should have

(01:18:19):
had a trial in absentia. They just decided, oh, they're terrorists.
He signed kill papers and that was it, and then
he gave the order and they were dead. I mean,
think about that. Barack Obama literally ordered the deaths of
American citizens on foreign soil under the guys of they're terrorists,
and nobody cared. They're like, oh, oh, well, if he
says they're terrorists and they must be terrorists, so then yeah,

(01:18:42):
you can kill them. Okay, so that's not an illegal order.
So then what is an illegal order? Exactly? Like what is?
So then they bring up an example in Vietnam where
a guy, a lieutenant, gave an order to his squad
to murder civilians and they said no, and then he
wound up going to prison. All right, so we know

(01:19:03):
murdering civilians bad. Drones striking American citizens not bad. Drones
striking weddings in Pakistan with Obama did not bad. Also
not bad. I mean it was mister drones strike that.
Nothing he ever did was bad. But what has Trump
ever done? Well? He asked if they could shoot protesters
in the leg? Did he though? I mean, we don't

(01:19:23):
even know if he really did or not. Okay, So
asking a question bad drone striking American citizens to death,
that's fine, that's okay, that's not a legal order, But
asking the question if you can shoot a protester in
the leg that is apparently just even the question. Okay,
all right, the drug boats, Well, he's on shaky legal ground.

(01:19:44):
Center Alyssa. Slockin said, he's on shaky leg round. Well,
there's a way around that. You know, Congress should just
give him the authorization to take out the drug cartels.
I mean, I'm sure he probably exists in all the
various nuances of law and everything else, but just to
make it crystal clear, have the House and the Senate
passed an authorization giving the President whatever means necessary to

(01:20:05):
take out these drug cartels. And then there you go.
Now you've cleared that legal hurdle and you don't have
to worry about that, and then they can't impeach you
for it. Down the road. They'll just have to find
something else to impeach you for if they ever get
the majority again, which they certainly will obviously, because these
people are just relentless. But there is a movie called
normberg Out. And I know this because my wife and

(01:20:27):
I went away on Friday night together and we went
to a cute little town on the Jersey Shore and
it actually had a movie theater. And there are not
many of those mom and pop kind of old school
movie theaters left. A lot of them are just big
mega chains, now, you know what I mean. And I thought, oh,
this is great, let's see what they have. And they
were showing two movies. One was Wicked, which of course

(01:20:48):
I have to take my daughters to if I go
see it at all, and then Norremberg. Now I would
have went to see it, but my wife falls asleep
at movies. She has this problem. And I mean, it's
not a problem. I gotta be careful here, No, she
just she falls asleep in the theater. So unless it's
like a really riveting action movie, like a really riveting thriller,

(01:21:10):
his chance she's gonna doze off. So I lo the
trailer for Nurrenberg. I'm like, and I probably like this
as a history buff. I just don't know if she
can make it, especially after we had dinner and we
had a couple of glasses of wine. And I'm probably
gonna pass on this, but I probably would have seen it.
But I actually think that the people behind that movie
are paying all these members of Congress and Mark Kelly
there and listens lock and that they're paying them for
promotion here. But it was a listener of mine Philly,

(01:21:34):
this guy Johnny Cook, who tweets a lot along the show.
By the way, you can tweet me at rich Zioli.
I can't say X me because that's just freaking weird.
I'm sorry, but it's weird. If you want to X me,
we got a problem. But if you want to tweet me,
like on the breaking news today that Georgia has dropped
the charges against President Trump related to the twenty twenty
election interference Fugesy Rico case. Feel free r I C

(01:21:59):
h zeo l I. But his point was that too,
he said this movie Nurremberg's out. I don't think this
is a coincidence. I don't either. I mean, they've been
saying that he's Hitler, been saying he's a fascist, but
here he is making peace. Here he is being called
by Netanyahu the greatest friend to Israel and the history
of the Jews and everything else. And that doesn't work
if you're telling everybody he's Hitler. So they got to

(01:22:20):
come up with this story about illegal orders, and it
doesn't matter if they can't name one. They just go
out there and say it, and he reacts the way
he does because it's what he does. So he comes
back and arrest them all and seditious conspiracy and everything else,
and then they start talking about hanging members of Congress,
and the White House says he's not talking about hanging
members of Congress, and the President has to say, doesn't

(01:22:41):
want to kill anybody, and they get back on going
down that road versus the road to peace. I mean,
what we should all be talking about today is the
fact that Ukraine and Russia seemed to be although he'd
been down this road before, but they seem to be
now finally at a peace deal. That's a big deal.
But here's Joy Reid pushing the well, this is Joy

(01:23:02):
bayharsxcuse me bringing up the Nazis in Nuremberg. And I
don't know if so. She's on the View, which is
owned by ABC, which is Disney. I don't know if
Nuremberg is a Disney movie. I don't know if it's
the same company or not. But either way, free publicity
for them. Cut eight.

Speaker 11 (01:23:19):
So you know, you know, there's a movie called Nuremberg
playing right now, which I recommend to everybody to say.
It's about the Nuremberg trials of the Nazis after World
War Two and following orders is not a defense, No,
it's not. So these soldiers have to pay attention.

Speaker 1 (01:23:36):
See I said this last week on my show that
I thought this was all about promoting this movie and
I think it's all about promoting this movie. I really do.
I think this is all about it. It's like, well,
nobody's really going to go out and rush out to
see Nuremberg. It's the kind of thing you probably would
maybe stream if it's free, and if you had nothing

(01:23:58):
else to do, or you were a real history nerd
or something like that. And I'm sure it's a great movie.
It's about an American army psychiatrist who has to it
has to get to Hitler's men and Heinrich Kimler and
Heydrich and you know, they asked to, you know, basically
go down to Herman Goring and get him to confess

(01:24:20):
to everything. And it's supposed to be really good. It's
getting great reviews. But I would I mean, Russell Crows
in it, but I'm still I still wouldn't. Most people
wouldn't go see it. Now we're talking about this movie,
and you've got Joy Reid openly pushing this, and she's
literally coming out and saying, right now, go see the movie.

(01:24:41):
You know, there's this movie Nuremberg out there. So I
don't think these things are ever coincidental. I really don't.
I really don't. It's Sony Pictures. I guess it's not
technically Disney, but who knows. Maybe she's an investor in
the movie, or maybe these democrats are, or maybe the
studio paid them. It's a great stunt you think about it,
and it certainly helps Mark Kelly with his presidentential ambitions.
As he says he's not backing down cut seven.

Speaker 8 (01:25:05):
As in, I'll tell you this though, I'm not backing down.

Speaker 12 (01:25:08):
I mean we.

Speaker 9 (01:25:12):
Dunned in various cent fall.

Speaker 8 (01:25:15):
Members of the military need to follow the law. We
wanted to say that we had their backs. His response
killed them.

Speaker 1 (01:25:24):
Uh, he's not backing down. Well, you may get back
into a conference room with the FBI, at least that's
for sure. All Right, it's the Dana Show. It's rich
In for Dana. As we continue on this busy travel Wednesday,
don't go away.

Speaker 4 (01:25:37):
And now all of the news you would probably miss,
it's time for Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 1 (01:25:42):
Let me give a quick shout out to Sergio, our
man KRV seven to ten the Great News Talk seven ten.
Our man Sergio also fills in for data. He sent
me a tacks happy Thanksgiving brother, God blessed, appreciate great
hear from you if you are impatient, and I am
very very impatient, it may be genetic. It's linked to
two hundred and twelve health conditions. That's right. Scientists identified

(01:26:04):
eleven genetic regions linked to delay discounting, which is basically
this idea I needed the immediate reward over delayed gratification,
and two hundred and twelve different medical conditions associated with it,
including addiction, obesity, heart disease, and chronic pain and all
kinds of other things. So there you go. Impatients may

(01:26:25):
be genetic. I think so, but I'm too impatient to
really read the rest of the story, so I'm just
going to move on. An AI Christian singer Solomon Ray
tops the charts and stirs an ethical debate you think
not real? Solomon Ray became the top artist on the
iTunes Top one hundred Christian and Gospel album's chart last week.
He is not human. Ray was entirely created by artificial intelligence,

(01:26:48):
which includes his voice, performance style, lyrics, and persona AI
generated music. As a new frontier, I am not a
fan of this. As a radio guy. Luckily they can't
really do AI generated talk show hosts ye, because we
actually have to think for ourselves and think critically, and
AI is not there yet. They could do that for
liberal talk like they could do Air America. With AI.

(01:27:11):
You don't need much intelligence to do it and nobody
would listen, So you could easily program that, but it
would be a failure, just like Air America was speaking
of AI. By the way, a tech ceo has said
that the AI world means what is real and what
is not real starts to evolve and now changing how
people cope with grief by creating chatbots with the personality

(01:27:33):
of a departed loved one. Yeah, so you can have
this grief bot who basically has the personality of your
departed loved one and then you can chat with it.
And I don't know, man, I just feel like in
the future, somebody dies, they'll immediately have an AI robot
come in and just take their place, and maybe it'll
be better. And it just depends on the person, I guess.

(01:27:55):
But first you have to find somebody and to do that.
AI is changing the game on that as well. And
there's a new thing with AI where it comes into
your life now and fools you into believing it's a
real person when it comes to dating, and that you've
heard of the term catfishing. Well, there's chatfishing, where you
end up talking to somebody online. You think it's a person,
you think it could be the love of your life,

(01:28:16):
it turns out to be AI and there you go.
What turned out to be love is heartbreak. It's the
Data Show. It's me Rich zeoly In for Data. As
we continue, don't go away.

Speaker 5 (01:28:29):
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 1 (01:28:40):
Travel Wednesday, help you and your family have an amazing Thanksgiving.
It's Rich Zeolian for Data. It's an honor to be here,
and thanks for hanging out. It's been a while, so
I appreciate uh being back here. Absolutely. Maxine Waters, who
is deranged. Obviously she had an important press conference. Let

(01:29:00):
you know what they're doing. Okay, what they're doing? Do
you call the press conference for this very important press conference?
You understand? Cut fourteen.

Speaker 12 (01:29:11):
Thank you very much. I am so pleased that Robert
Garcia is here and the mayor is here. This is
an important press conference that is being hell to let
you know what we're all doing resisting this low down,
dirt and no good, filthy president of the United States

(01:29:32):
of America.

Speaker 1 (01:29:34):
I love that bipartisanship, don't you notice, However, Republicans in
the office. The only job of Democrats is to be
just the resistance. And then when a Democrat wins, everybody's
supposed to work with that president in the name of
bipartisanship and purple And if you say anything negative, you're
just you want the country to fail, right, That is

(01:29:57):
a little observation. I was out in cal Fournia back
in March. I did the Praeger U book Club, sat
down with Michael Knowles and we did Animal Farm by
George Orwell and was great, great chat. It's available now.
It was a real honor to be asked to do
that while I was there in California. And I love
the geography of California, I really do. I love it.

(01:30:20):
The politics are insane, obviously and about to get a
whole lot worse, but it's just it's a beautiful state.
We were there right after the wildfires, I mean, look
right after and it just heartbreaking to think here we
are it's Thanksgiving and they still have not rebuilt a
single home and they are just railroading all these homeowners
and the games that are being played there, and it's
just unconscionable. It really is. Davin Newsom's got a major

(01:30:43):
problem on his hands because his record as governor is awful.
It's abysmal. He's destroyed the movie and TV industry in Hollywood.
I mean, it's it's gone. People now they film in Austin, Texas.
There was a story the actor Glenn Powell, who was
in the Chad Powers Netflix show, and also he's in
Top Gun Maverick and he's doing a bunch of stuff.
He's in the new Running Man remake, which I didn't

(01:31:04):
see because I think it's probably pretty bad from what
I've heard, but he's very popular right now. He said
he moved out of LA He's in Austin. He's got
his production company there too. There's a lot of guys
doing that. A lot of people are doing that Austin, Georgia,
not California. Gavin Newsome, with his COVID draconian policies, forced

(01:31:26):
movie and TV industries to leave the state. The high
cost of living, the taxes, all of it, the minimum wage,
all of it, and it's been a disaster. And then
the wildfires and how they handled the wildfires completely and
I shouldn't even say wildfires because it's that's a misnomer.
They weren't wild It was arson and completely preventable, just

(01:31:47):
like the campfires were preventable. Back in twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen,
that era, they knew that there were problems with PGW.
They had to end up paying all kinds of money NOTT,
pgwpg and he whatever it is, the beasion of a
gas and electric They had to spend billions of dollars
and admit wrongdoing on that. But the mayor of Los Angeles,

(01:32:08):
Karen Bass, says, politicians are not to blame for people
fleeing Los Angeles. Really, who is out of curiosity cut thirteen.

Speaker 13 (01:32:18):
Yeah, But you know what though, I think that's another
part of our American culture. Obviously, people in office are important,
but there's no way in the world it should be
viewed as the mayor, the governor, Congress is going.

Speaker 1 (01:32:32):
To take care of everything.

Speaker 13 (01:32:33):
It's all of our responsibilities. So what I've always done,
especially starting off as a community organizer, community activist, it's
always been about community for me, and getting people involved.

Speaker 1 (01:32:49):
What what is that?

Speaker 3 (01:32:50):
Even?

Speaker 1 (01:32:51):
Is that English? What is that? At first, all you
had to you had to understand something. Politicians are not
to blame. Actually, the policies of politicians are to blame
because they can make some they can make a place
a lot worse to live in, and then people leave.
And that's the thing, that's the that's the part of
this that none of these these these idiots understand No,

(01:33:13):
they they don't understand this. They they think that everybody
is forced to stay, and then when they leave, they
can't believe it. It's like, you don't want to stay
in this socialist utopia we've created because it's never a utopia.
Their policies do drive people believe, They just will never
admit that because they to admit that is to admit
that their policies didn't work. And so when people flee

(01:33:34):
New York City, when people flee Los Angeles, wherever it is,
and they leave these places, to acknowledge that it's actually
politicians and their policies that drive people to leave these places,
then is acknowledgment that their policies do not work and
the socialist utopia fails. That's the truth. Now, Newsom is
going to run for president. Josh Shapiro is going to

(01:33:56):
run for presidents. The governor of Pennsylvania, he signed a
bill into law that is completely unnecessary. It absolutely is unnecessary,
but it gives him a lot of grandstanding. And I
can tell you one thing about the governor Pennsylvania. That
guy has a fierce social media presence. And you wonder yourself,
how does he find time all day to be governor

(01:34:16):
and to post so relentlessly on Instagram and TikTok and Facebook,
and how does he do it? The answer is he
has a team of I don't know, like a dozen people,
and it was it was like a mill I think
a million is a million dollars in all their different salaries. Again,
I don't know for sure, so the Governor's office can't
sue me. I'm speculating, but Crossing Broaden Liberty wrote a

(01:34:38):
whole piece about this. How many people Governor Josh Shapiro
has dedicated to do his social media outreach for the
office that the Pennsylvania taxpayers are paying for it to
promote himself as he grandstands everywhere and I mean everywhere,
even including with people he'd like to run for president
with like Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer when he was at
the Eagles game, the Eagles Lions game, and they were

(01:35:00):
for that, mucking it up, taking pictures, posting selfies. But
he signs this completely unnecessary bill into law, but he
gets the grand standover it cut sixteen.

Speaker 14 (01:35:13):
We know that this is an issue that disproportionately affects
black Pennsylvanians who wear their hair and protective styles like
locks and natural braids or twists, and it can manifest
itself in a number of different ways, from someone getting
fired simply because of how they look, or maybe someone
getting passed over for a job because of the way

(01:35:36):
they wear their hair. That's unacceptable, and in a moment,
it will be illegal.

Speaker 1 (01:35:41):
What if I have a mullet and somebody doesn't want
to hire me because of my mullet, you know, business
on top, party in the back, should that be illegal?
I'm just saying, I'm asking the question, and how have
you ever going to prove that? By the way, how
are you ever going to prove that I didn't hire
rich Zooli because of his mullet? Like I was going
to hire Zioli and then I saw he had a mullet,
and I decided against it. This is one of those

(01:36:04):
dumb problems in solutions in search of a problem, as
they say, and that's what it really is. So he
gets the grand stand and say that this is a thing.
I'm not saying that there isn't a person who probably
didn't get a job because of their hair. I'm just
saying that it's not just simply just black Americans who
are dealing with this. I'm sure people that have mohawks

(01:36:25):
probably deal with this. Guy goes into a job in
banking and sits across the table with a faced hat
and a mohawk and doesn't get the job. Should he
be able to sue for discrimination based on his hair?
I'm curious. And then how do you prove that. Is

(01:36:45):
there going to be a leaked audio recording of somebody saying, well,
I would have hired him, he was completely qualified, but
the mohawk and the fact that he was also a
straight white guy and doesn't meet our DEI policies other
than that it was perfect for the job. So silly
it really is. It's silly. We're gonna see a lot
more grandstanding now between now and twenty twenty eight. We'll

(01:37:07):
probably you that remember Kathy Griffin held up the bloodless
or the bloody decapitated severed head image of Donald Trump?
Do you remember that whole thing? She said she's lost
a lot of friends over her TDS debacle. I think
being friends with Kathy Griffin, even before that incident would

(01:37:28):
be a very annoying endeavor. She just strikes me as
being one of those people that would probably be very
annoying to be friends with. I think there's a lot
of people who are comedians who are like that, the
very insecure people constantly on, like they never take a break,
They're always on all the time, and you're like, my god,
is this like I'm paid to see this? Can you

(01:37:49):
just be yourself? She strikes me as one of those people,
and you know that she's just just yearning for attention.
You're like yearning just with a lot of these people.
He's actor and actresses are like this. Comedians and other
people and probably radio talks your hosts too, always need
to be the center of attention and are always on.
I see, I'm the opposite. I don't want any attention,

(01:38:10):
and when I'm off the air, i am done. And
do not bring up politics around me. If it's my
day off and you come up to me and you
want to talk politics, I will be politely say no,
thank you, I'm uninterested. It's my job. I gotta talk
about it five days a week, sometimes on Fridays too,
and I just don't like to do it. And I
don't like to do it, particularly over things like Thanksgiving,

(01:38:31):
for example. My advice would be just don't discuss politics.
Just don't do it. It's nothing good ever comes from it.
There's never been a single person in the history of
humanity whoever came out and said, you know, I went
into Thanksgiving being a liberal, but after several bottles of
wine and loss of turkey and arguing, I have now

(01:38:52):
seen the light and I've converted and I'm backing Donald.
It's never going to happen. It can't happen, So don't
waste your time. That's my advice. But I'm not gonna
tell you what to do. You do you. I mean,
it's you know, I just want you to be happy.
I've just found in my own experience nothing good comes
from that. Minds are never changed. It's like arguing with
people on social media too, The only time I ever

(01:39:14):
do it is if I feel like sparring, kind of
like Rocky when he fought Spider Rico. Yeah, you know
you're gonna win. It's not really much effort, but it
kind of keeps your mental skills up a little bit.
So if I'm on vacation or something after for a
little while, I might come back and argue with some
idiots on social media just to just to kind of
get my chops back a little bit before I go
back on the air. But beyond Matt, I just don't

(01:39:34):
do it. But as far as her losing seventy five
percent of her friends, I don't believe for a second
it's because of her TDS debacle. I think if it's
true that she even had that many friends, that would
be a miracle. And secondly, those people just needed an
excuse and an off ramp, so they gave it to her.
Cut seventeen.

Speaker 10 (01:39:56):
I had some good friends. I will say I lost
about some I did I had, I did. I had
some good friends. I will say I lost about seventy
five percent of my friends and they never came back.
And so I also, okay, I know I'm laying it
on that, but I also became addicted to prescription pills.
So I also tried to take my life and I

(01:40:16):
was in a fifty one to fifty psycled for three
days at Cedars and so I actually even though I
was a pill girl, I go to AA meetings on
Zoom every day and I've made a lot of friends
through AA. So I've been lucky about like getting some
nice friendships going. But that's why we were joking before
about the art of conversation. I kind of just live

(01:40:37):
for that now. I just want to like really talk
to people.

Speaker 1 (01:40:41):
I feel bad for those people and when they're doing
God's work helping with their addiction. But man, I just
am not all here as we're capes, I guess, is
what I can say. Because this is, you know anyway,
another grand Standard. And this guy, Corey Booker, my senator
in New Jersey. He loves grandstanding. I actually have a

(01:41:03):
nickname for him. I call him Count grandstandialis Spartacus Booker
and the Tears of Rage band because if you remember
a couple of his meltdowns, one was he had Tears
of Rage, another it was his Spartacus moment. He loves
the grandstand. He'd also like to run for president. He's
run for president, got zero percent. But anyway, it's time
to turn the page, he says, cut ten.

Speaker 7 (01:41:27):
Because we're about to turn a page. It is a
exciting page to me that the generation that is my
parents' generation is leaving the stage. The torch is being
passed before our eyes. A new generation of American leadership
is coming up. What an exciting time to redeem the dream.

(01:41:48):
And in the Democratic Party, I want to have a
very tough conversation and I wanted to be a competition
of ideas about what our party is going to look like.
I'm one of those people that's saying is our party
has fail They've made terrible mistakes. And I want us
to emerge in this moment, not focusing on party, but
refocusing on people.

Speaker 1 (01:42:10):
What if be's brilliant? I think that is brilliant. Actually,
the torch has been passed to a new generation that
is brilliant. And why has anybody ever said that before?
Oh right? President Kennedy said in his nineteen sixty one
in overal address, let the word go forth from this
time and place to friend and foe alike, that the
torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans

(01:42:30):
born in this century. Booker can't even grandstand with his
original ideas. He has to plagiarize other people's ideas to grandstand.
It's the Dana Show.

Speaker 1 (01:42:53):
It's been great filling in for data today. Thanks for
hanging with me. You can you can reach me. At
Rich is the only show on all the various social
media platforms. Help you and your family have a very
blessed and wonderful and safe happy Thanksgiving. Don't forget if
you're deep frying a turkey like I am, don't don't.
It's got a thaw. It can't be frozen. Sometimes idiots

(01:43:14):
do that. Also, don't deep pride in your house. I mean,
it's sort of basics. The big story today, just kind
of recapping that, is that a judge in Georgia dismiss
the last pending criminal prosecution against President Trump, effectively ending
efforts to hold him criminally responsible for attempts to overturn
the twenty twenty election. Now this is this is a

(01:43:34):
big deal. It's also a big deal because Georgia doesn't
have the ability for the president to pardon himself and
the governors have the part in power. So it was
always seen as the more nefarious one. But that's over now.
Great Thanksgiving gift for the president. All right, So have
a wonderful time. See Thanks for your help today. I

(01:43:54):
appreciate it very much. And be safe. God bless God,
bless our troops and all those who were serving first
responders and police and fire and ems and everybody else
who's working to modrow while we're enjoying the day. Remember,
don't fight with your in laws. It's just not worth it. It's
just not worth it. Just try to enjoy the day
you best you can. All right. It's rich is the
only signing off for Dana here on the Data show,

(01:44:14):
wishing you and your family a happy and blessed Thanksgiving.
Thank you,
