Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dana Lashes of Search Truth podcast sponsored by Keltech.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida man.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
I like the people who hide their drugs and bags
that say no drugs, and then whenever they're stopped and
they get searched, they say, no, there's no drugs in here.
Look at the bag that says no drugs. This guy
tried this with his house. So a man with a
no drugs allowed sign on his house was charged with trafficking.
Hyland's County Sheriff's office said they arrested John Moss, seventy
(00:39):
six years old.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Old Kane hates old people. Hear him. He says, old
people aren't innocent. Over there are hearing.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
They said that there was literally a placard, not just
like a handwritten sign, like a professionally done sign that
said quote absolutely no drugs allowed on the premises they
served to search Warren on the home. Oh man, this
guy was trafficking oxy cotton stuff. I can't pronounce morphine meth.
He had a lot of myth all kinds of stuff.
(01:07):
So he was a baddie. But he's he's in jail.
Multiple kinds of drug trafficking and no bond. That's what
I'm like. Did he put that sign up? Do you
think with the purpose of the cops showing up with
a warrant going, oh wait, the sign says no drugs allowed.
We can't you know there's no drugs here. Yeah, might
as well go home. It's all done, guys. We don't
(01:29):
have to worry anymore.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
It's all done. I'm just you know, I'm wondering, all right.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Also, a Florida a woman mistakes of Florida man for
her Uber and he kidnaps her. You gotta be careful man.
Uber drivers. They they at like thirty million trips per
day worldwide. Usually there's an issue. But this Florida woman
mistook a silver suv for an Uber. She got into
(01:54):
the vehicle and then when she realized she was in
the wrong car, the driver would not let her out.
And now the Sheriff's office down there was looking for
a man in his thirties in connection with her attempted
kidnapping and kissing me Florida, and of course miss she
misidentified the man. She thought the silver suv was her
Uber and the driver was sitting there smoking dope at
(02:17):
the time. Offered her a ride. She got in and
they went and then he wouldn't let her out. He
began making looted inappropriate comments. She demanded that he let
her out.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
He would not.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
She began panicking, screaming, and tried to get out of
the car to escape. He sped up, so she'd tried
to open the door. He sped up, which threw her
off balance and she fell out of the car while
it was moving. She was able to take a picture
of the suv and send the picture and a described
the man of the police.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
But wow, I mean.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Always check those license plates, y'all. Always check them, and
then ask your driver's name. Don't ask if you're an uber.
Don't ask them if they're an uber, ask them for
the name of the driver. Like, are you you know whatever?
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Are you staying? Are you Joe?
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Are you If someone gets in my car accidentally, I'm
not gonna try and kidnap him. I'm gonna tell him
to get the hell out. I don't know what this
guy was doing, Well, he's not.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
It's also like, who sits there in idols and your
door's unlocked?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
I don't ever do that.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
I have got I mean, my doors is locked, then
I don't unlock them until the person is their hand
their handle on the door.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
I just I don't know. It's crazy. Let's see.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Last, but not least, the Florida man was arrested after
his after toddlers were pictured with guns, beer and dope.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Yeah, Taylor canoop or noop? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Florida was arrested because apparently he uh there were He
was charged to child neglect.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
The children were placed with relatives.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
He's the dad, and he apparently had all these photographs
of his babies like actual like two year olds and
like a nine months old with guns and beer and drugs. Wow,
he got way way in trouble with that. And that's
our friends at Celtech. You guys are very familiar with
Celtech based in Florida, USA. Obviously, everything made in the
(04:07):
USA manufacturer and they have a lot of really cool stuff.
The KS seven This is a really nice pump action
shotgun and you need to check it out. It's the
brand new KS seven Gen two pack with upgrades. Five
slot Picatinny style accessory rail. You got to that underneath
so you can add for almost set horizontal vertical grips.
You can add lights, so you can.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Keep it flush and sleek with a cap. But it's a.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Smoother pump actions, you have faster cleaner cycle, and you
got enhanced durability. All of the other advantages are there.
It's super ultra lightweight still I just barely under. I
mean it's right under seven pounds, unloaded, compact poolpup design,
maneuverability in tight spaces, ambidextras downwards, shell ejection seven plus
one capacity, great for home defense, range days, anywhere in between.
And the MSRP makes it super accessible. It's six point
(04:54):
thirty nine.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
So you get all of that performance well within reach.
It's a celtech innovation made in America. Feel k e
l t Ec Weapons dot Com. Tell them that Dana sent.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
You too quick construction questions. If I can't, you mentioned
any construction project comes with changes. The President had initially
said that this project wouldn't interfere with or touched the
current structure. Now he says to do this properly. You
realized that the east wing had to be demolished. This
(05:24):
is the people's house. Why not inform the public of
that change? And when it was decided that the east
wing would have to be demolished.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
Look again, with any construction project, changes come and we
have informed all of you. We've been keeping you apprized
of this project. We've shown you the renderings, and if
you look at the renderings, it's very clear the East
Wing was going to be modernized instead.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
In fact, I said that in the briefing.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
When we initially introduced this plan to all of you
and to the public. Well again the President. The plans
changed when the President heard council from the architects and
the construction companies who said that in order for this
East Wing to be modern and beautiful for many many
years to comfort, to be a truly strong and stable structure,
(06:07):
this phase one that we're now in was necessary. And
the President wants to do right by the people's House,
and so that's exactly what he's doing. It's going to
be again, like I said, much more stable, strong, secure,
and more beautiful than ever once it's complete.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Where will those be Percy's offices, the Social.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Secretary of Community HM the list of people, and that
was Caroline Levitt, who is going back and forth.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
There was an ABC reporter about this.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
I mean, I remember, I do remember they said that
there was a in the beginning that depending on what
they found when they got into the initial demolition of
the outside, the little car park outside, they were waiting
to see whether or not they would have to do more,
take down more of the structure than just that. And
(06:55):
then apparently when they get in there, when they got
in there, considering when the east wing was was built,
it was like what the forties and then they did
other renovations in the fifties, they actually that was like
back when they used asbestos, and the asbestos for this
(07:19):
Literally we pulled this up because I had this last night.
There's like a whole advocacy group for it. In terms
of construction. They said that there were concerns because it's
over the east wing with it back when it was
originally built, in the later editions of it, that was
apparently at the height of the use of asbestos in construction,
(07:45):
and that I mean, so that required apparently them to
do more because they needed to get you know, they
had to do testing asbestos. They had and I'm actually,
by the way, Lorraine just posted literally what I had
in front of me right now, because they had a
whole abatement that they had. It was EPA OSHA and
(08:08):
also they were working with Clark Construction in ae COM
with worker protection and all of that as a result,
and so they had to actually do more to get
to get some of that other material out. And then
by the time they got at that point, they said,
you know what, why don't we just reinforce this and
use this And so it ended up being actually easier
to do it the way that they're doing it than not.
(08:30):
And we do know a little bit about construction. But
because my husband worked in construction. He reabilited, he rehabbed
a city block in downtown Saint Louis, it was a
major project, and built this amazing studio in condos, So
we know about construction. I mean we lived it and
they had a hole. They went through this whole exact
same thing too, because there was asbestos in the building
(08:51):
when they were rehabbing it and all of that. So
I know the process of it, and it's a it's
a big process, and sometimes you get to a certain
point you're like, Okay, it's just better to just go
all the way instead of go through this. For the
lack of a better way to put it, the whole
abatement of this, it's just easier, and so that ultimately,
(09:13):
and I remember when they said they said, they never
said that there wasn't a possibility. They just said that
it could happen, but they need to see when they
get in there what they find, and then they'll go
from there. So it's not like I just I just
rejected the argument that everybody was kept in the dark
about it. The people that are the other people that
(09:34):
are funding it. I mean, we're getting it's the people's house,
and we're getting a free ballroom. So let me just
go through the names. ALTA Group, Amazon, Apple, Booz Allen Hamilton, Caterpillar, Coinbase, Comcast,
Jpepe and Amelia Fennul, hard Rock International, Google, HP Like EID, Martin,
Meta Platforms, Micron Technology, Microsoft Next, Extra Energy, Planets, Your Technologies,
(10:00):
Reynolds American Team Mobile, Tyler America, Union, Pacific, Roil World, Reilroad,
Adelson Family Foundation, Stefanie Brody, the Betty Wold Johnson Foundation,
Charles and Marissa Saskarilla, Edward and Sherry Glazer, Harold Ham,
Benjamin Leon Jr. The Lutnik Family, the Laura and Isaac
(10:22):
Pearlmutter Foundation, Steven Schwarzman, Konstantin Sokolov, Kelly Leffler and Jeff Sprecker,
Paolo TIREMANI, Cameron Winklevoss, Tyler Winklevoss, they were Facebook guys. Interesting,
those are all the people and entities that have been
donating to this. So where is this because that was
(10:47):
the other accusation that taxpayer dollars have been going towards this,
and the project has been in the works for a
long time. So this is I mean, New York Post
published the list of all of the other donors. Hakeem Jeffreys,
(11:09):
we played that audio for you yesterday. He said, Oh,
we're going to have an investigation.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
We're going to get to the.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Bottom of all the people involved in this. Well for
what purpose?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
For what?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Because they to send them a thank you card for
a free ballroom. I was asking a friend of mine
that was in the White House press pool and does
all this stuff. It This actually is needed because it
is true that the East Room cannot could not They
(11:44):
can't accommodate more. They can barely accommodate two hundred people,
definitely cannot accommodate more than two hundred and depending on
the event, and you know, like if you're like, all
the stuff that's going on in there, you may not
be able to get two hundred. So what they used
to have to do is and what they still have
to do right now is they would have to erect
(12:06):
a giant tent on the south lawn and hold the
events in the tent at the south lawn. And one
of my friends was saying, gosh, it was awful when
it wore rain and you know, they didn't like being
a member of the press and having their like minded
and having to cover this if it was like cold,
if it's rainy, it's just you know, it's not the
most ideal situation. So when they had a state dinner,
(12:32):
when the last state dinner that they so when they
had a huge state dinner, I think this was like
maybe back in when was this when they had the
president and first Lady of Kenya. They had to go outside.
They had to have their event outside. So imagine you
have to put a tent on the lawn and everybody
goes outside to eat. And yeah, you can have space,
heaters and all of that, but is it the most comfortable?
(12:53):
Is it the best? So and they've been doing I
mean this is you know, been happening for a while.
There's a lot of drawbacks, especially when there's an issue
with the weather. They have issues with bathroom facilities because
you got to make shift stuff when you have a
tent on the lawn. This is actually something I do
agree with, and I'm very particular about taxpayer dollars. This
(13:16):
isn't even taxpayer dollars. It's all privately funded. See the
other stuff that other previous presidents added. I would say
maybe with the exception of the creation of the East Wing, originally,
everything else has been for presidential use. The Clinton's added
a music room that the other presidents have added, bowling alleys,
and pools.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Gerald Ford added a pool.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
He wanted an outdoor pool, not just a lap pool,
but a pool that he could swim in. You had
Obama put in a basketball court, you had others put
in tennis courts, all kinds of stuff. I mean a
lot of the stuff that they put in previously with
stuff for their own personal use. This is something that's
actually going to be used functionally for the White House.
(13:55):
And because it can be a mess the and my
friend was saying, because my friend has had to cover
these events before, and my friend was saying that it's
kind of a mess, especially if it's raining when you
have inclement weather, And it also kind of some people
(14:17):
have said that people think that they're going to a
state dinner at the White House and then they realize
they're not even going into the White House.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
They're going to a tent.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Outside and it is very expensive to get the kitchen
stuff out there and set up the kitchen, and then
they have to redo and basically put down turf every
time they do one of these events. Also, where's Marine
one land? Because Marine one always lands on South Lawn?
(14:49):
So what happens when you've got a big event and
it's out there on the south lawn and you got
to help, You can't where that's where Marine one lands,
So and when the tint is up, the marine one
can't land. And the State Dining Room if you look
at going inside of the State Dining Room that maybe
I think they said as like one hundred and twenty
hundred and thirty guests state dinners. When you have leaders
(15:10):
that come in there, that's a lot more than that.
And they actually were charged they made space. They were
trying to make space even during Reagan's era in that
East wing, and the East wing is a lot of
unused offices and a lot of space that's actually not
even entirely useful. So the bathroom situation, that's a whole
other thing. And they can make it look really pretty
(15:31):
out there, but you're outside in a tent and everybody
knows it, and you have to walk outside to get
into the tent and they put the carpet down and
all that stuff. But you guys, know, ladies, you know
how it is. It's not the best. You got wind, breeze, humidity,
everything else out there. All these people go to this
event to look nice for it, and then they go
out there and you're out there in the humidity, you're
(15:53):
out there in the weather. The bathroom situation is abysmal.
It's a mess, no matter how you do it so well.
I actually think that this is a good move to
so that way you can actually have a proper state dinner,
and the White House can hold these events and a
(16:13):
lot of the other rooms in the White House, I mean,
they're at capacity as it is, and always have been originally.
So why are people why is this such a huge issue.
It's privately funded. Everybody who's donated to it has been
made public. You know how much has been donated. The
President has also donated his own money. It is something
(16:34):
that is going to be utilized pretty heavily for all
events at the White House, so they don't have to
move out antiques and historical artifacts from other rooms to
accommodate people when they're trying to get as many people
in to these other rooms for state events.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
So I have zero.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Issue with us that I don't see one next Caine,
I do not see a single drawback from any of
this as we move. Our partners that help bring you
the program. It's our friends over at All Family Pharmacy,
where you can go and get your everyday medications. You
can get your ivermectin, your hydroxy chloroquin, your mementozol, you're
in ad plus, whatever it is that you need, they
(17:19):
have it and all the stuff that you would need
for like sinus infections, tamilflu. I mean, they got everything
and it's easy because all you do is you go online,
you fill out a form of what you need, a
doctor reviews it and then your medications are sent to
you within two to four days. But if you need
it in a pinch, it can be overnighted to you.
It's very very easy. I've had that done before. And
everything that they use, all of these medications are made
(17:41):
in the USA with USA precursors. So it's not you're
not getting anything from China, You're not getting anything from India,

Speaker 2 (18:05):
And now all of the news you would probably miss,
it's time for Dana's Quick five.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Target has cut eighteen hundred corporate jobs in its first
round of major layoffs in a decade.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
This is a lot.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
What are they gonna do because like Christmas seasons, Like,
isn't that like their busiest it's like their busiest season.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
What are they gonna do?
Speaker 1 (18:25):
So they said that they announced this yesterday. It's about
eight percent of its corporate workforce. But if it's corporate
doesn't matter. First off, how do you have that.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Many corporate bombs? That's kind of crazy.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Anyway, I haven't been to Target and forever. They're trying
to get back to growth and they're poised to get
a new CEO in February. How many of you think
that a lot of this began when they started messing
with the men and women's bathrooms, because that's actually one
of the reasons I didn't go back to Target.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
I've had to go like.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
One time in the past two years because they had
like a skin I get, like mild eggs, muth. They
have like a skin thing that I needed over the
counter that I couldn't get anywhere else, and I'm gonna
go there.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
So if you look at their stocks and when it
actually dipped, it coincides with that time.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
I'm just saying, I feel like they need to make
a play. And then all of the weird alphabet stuff
that they were doing. I don't think anybody's gone on there.
Magnolia seems to be at home in it. Let's see,
locals are leaving and permits are few. Malibu is having
a post fire identity crisis.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
They don't know what to do.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
But they have wood frames that are white rising over
from the ashes of those crazy fires that now you've
just have burned out lots in the Palisades and everywhere else,
but they said in Malibu down the road, it's really bleak.
There's just a lot of caution tape. There's a lot
of hollowed out shells, a lot of the houses. I
am not a graffiti tagged, And I mean it's been
almost a year and everything is like frozen because it
(19:52):
is impossible to get permitted to do anything. In fact,
listen to this LA which handles most permits. They've only
they've issued nearly over forty percent of permits upon the
total of applications received. And this is literally all rebuilding permits.
None of it's like new architect knew nothing. It's just
literally rebuilding what was existing. And LA County has handled
(20:15):
on even less. It's under twenty six percent of the
total applications received, Malibu under two percent. They don't want
to rebuild, they're doing this on purpose, so people need
to move. Wall Street bonus is expected to hit record
as bank profits surge. Interesting, we'll come back to that.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Also.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Francis Ford coppol who's one of my absolute favorite, says
he's broke and he's selling a custom one million dollar
watch after his Megalopolis debacle. You know what he did,
the Godfather. No one can touch him. He is untouchable
in my eyes.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Stick with us. More to come.
Speaker 6 (20:50):
Well, they're doing everything by the book. Why does Chicago
have the highest murder rate of all the big cities. Well,
we are not in the top thirty in terms of
our murder rate and rate. Our murder rate has been
cut in half over the last four years. And every
year it's gone down by double digits. And if you
look at all of the violent crime over the last
(21:10):
four years, they've all gone down. US cities seventeen point
forty seven per one hundred thousand population. Chicago's number one
over Philadelphia, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Phoenix, Los Angeles, New.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
York, and San Diego.
Speaker 6 (21:23):
What I'm explaining to you as.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
You really about violent crime.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
Look, you can pull statistics up.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
These are murders.
Speaker 6 (21:29):
I'm explaining to you that our murder rate has been
cut in half. And very importantly, Brett, and You've got
to hear this, very importantly, we've been doing the things
that are necessary to bring crime down. Right. We've invested
in community violence interruption, We've invested in police.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
No they haven't.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Actually, in fact, they're the clearance for these cases have
dropped dramatically as well, meaning, you know, going after prosecuting,
solving felonious you know, felony crimes, et cetera. That's Aby
Pritzker who is on with Brett Baar, and it's hysterical
because JB. Pritzker is going, well, yeah, like we cut crime,
(22:07):
we don't nothing's wrong anymore. And Brett bear is like, yeah, well,
here are the receipts and you're number one in terms
of homicide your your tops and Pritzker's like, well, that's
just a lie.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
You know, we don't care about your receipts. It's a lie.
We cut it in half.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
It's cut in half, but you're still number one. You
cut it in half, but you're still number one. Imagine
if you hadn't reduced anything, right, It's insane. These people
are insane. But this is this is that was his excuse.
They I think he's very far removed from the reality
(22:46):
that happens on his streets every single day, every single day.
But I actually, I mean they're cut in half and
still number one. Why does the Why is the murder
rate the highest of all time, we're not thirty. Yeah,
but here's the map, and then here is the all
of the crime data as it's tabulated by your actual
(23:09):
law enforcement agencies. And he's like, you can put up
all the statistics you want. We've cut our murder rate
in half. You're still number one, Lunchbox, you're number one.
You cut it in half, you claim, and you're still
number one.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
Jeez.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
I would have not have gone past that. I don't
get met at Bredbearer because he did. You have to
realize that, especially with some producers and you know, some
of the big wigs with network news, they don't want
you to stay on that topic forever because they don't
think it's good television.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
They want you to get past it.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
It's like when you know fighters are kind of like
hugging it out when they're resting in the ring. It's
like sort of that's how they view it. So I
get I get it, but I wouldn't let him go.
I would have just stayed on him, like, wait, we
can't go. I mean, they're they're still number one. They
are number one in terms of murder rate, murder and shootings, murder, shootings,
(24:05):
all crime, violent crime, whatever, they're number one.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
I and they.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
I I even with now, I will say they do
have a reduction. They had a reduction with us some
violent crime. Do you know how they had a reduction
with violent crime? You just it's crazy. But if you
don't report it, then it's wild.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
It goes away.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Is that wild? If you if a crime happens, then
you don't report it. Did the crime happen? That's their
whole mo that's their whole thing with us. So they've
done that in California. I mean they've had since when
Pritzker became governor. In the city of Chicago, I mean
since twenty nineteen, you've had over four thousand people shot
(24:54):
and killed. It's all like gang activity, drugs and gangs.
Drugs and gangs, drugs and gangs. Now a lot of
people say Saint Louis, Oh, well Saint Louis Is. Actually, well,
we'll hold up, hold up, that's our hometown. I take
exception to that. Yes, Saint Louis has a butt ton
of crime. That's an actual quantifiable measurement. By the way,
(25:15):
it has a ton of crime. But the reason that
Saint Louis City ranks number one is because Saint Louis
City is not incorporated into the county.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
That's why.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
So they look at number of crimes per you know,
per person for adjusted to the population, and so it
looks incredibly high.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Now it's very high.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
It's definitely the top five, but it's not number one
because of the only saving grace is it's not incorporated.
It's very weird how the city and the county are
set up. The city has its own government, its own everything,
county has its own government.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
It's on everything.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
It's very odd, cane, isn't it. And it's it's difficult
to explain that to people who don't gah.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
That the downtown numbers as far as people living downtown
Saint Louis have dropped dramatically thanks to Democrat policies, unfortunately,
and so as a result, the percentages are larger. That's
the reason.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Yeah, that's it. That's why. But Chicago number one murder rate.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
And he's when he was saying that it was dropped
in half, I mean it's not actually dropped in half.
He only reduced it. I mean by I mean I
wouldn't I would think, like doing the math, I think it's.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Like barely eleven percent he's like, oh, we cut in half.
It's not.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
He's trying to imply that he cut homicide by fifty percent.
He didn't, and then he's trying to act like it's
part of the decrease is because better policing. They've actually
have have hindered policing efforts, and they declassified a lot
of crimes and they just don't report things. Their Their
clearance for these felonies is like abysmal.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
I mean, it's not.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Detroit's, which is at fifteen percent, but it's like in
the twenty something percent.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
And this.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Idea that that is some big win for him. Can
you imagine? No, you're still number one in murder. Yeah,
but we cut it in half. So what a you're
number one in murder? That's not a do you need
to get past? You be number one right now? You're
number one in murder.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Oh my gosh, it's still pretty bad. I I don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
I mean, what is it like seventeen, isn't it? I
was looking at the rate, this is a per one
hundred thousand. Isn't it like seventeen something like that?
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Over seventeen, Oh yeah, it is over seventeen. I'm looking
at Oohooo, really bad guys.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
And the latest budget, they've actually asked the Chicago Police
Department to come up with ninety eight million in cuts.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
What because they're spending so much on their policing efforts. King,
they're spending so much on their policing and that is
a true story. They wanted a ninety eight million. They're
having a city budget crisis in Chicago. How is that possible?
I'm just so confused. How is that possible that they
would have that. I mean, it's everything's doing great. If
(28:02):
you listen to JB. Pritzker, it's kittens and sunshine up there.
Everything's so good. They have all this time on their
hands to go after Ice. Now, the Chicago Police Superintendent
Larry Snelling was saying, guys, public safety is going to
be it greatly impacted if you cut ninety eight million
(28:23):
dollars out of our budget. Because they have budget definite,
they they keep spending or sorry, ninety two million. They
keep spending like crazy. They've they've spent on entitlements and
on illegal aliens, that's what. And then they spend it
on busting people up to go and fight with Ice.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida man.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
I like the people who hide their drugs and bags
that say no drugs, and then whenever they're stopped and
they get searched, they say, no, there's no drugs in here.
Look at the bag that says no drugs. This guy
tried this with his house. So a man with a
no drugs allowed sign on his house was charged with trafficking.
Hyland's County Sheriff's office said they arrested John Moss, seventy
(00:39):
six years old.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Old Kane hates old people. Hear him. He says, old
people aren't innocent. Over there are hearing.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
They said that there was literally a placard, not just
like a handwritten sign, like a professionally done sign that
said quote absolutely no drugs allowed on the premises they
served to search Warren on the home. Oh man, this
guy was trafficking oxy cotton stuff. I can't pronounce morphine meth.
He had a lot of myth all kinds of stuff.
(01:07):
So he was a baddie. But he's he's in jail.
Multiple kinds of drug trafficking and no bond. That's what
I'm like. Did he put that sign up? Do you
think with the purpose of the cops showing up with
a warrant going, oh wait, the sign says no drugs allowed.
We can't you know there's no drugs here. Yeah, might
as well go home. It's all done, guys. We don't
(01:29):
have to worry anymore.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
It's all done. I'm just you know, I'm wondering, all right.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Also, a Florida a woman mistakes of Florida man for
her Uber and he kidnaps her. You gotta be careful man.
Uber drivers. They they at like thirty million trips per
day worldwide. Usually there's an issue. But this Florida woman
mistook a silver suv for an Uber. She got into
(01:54):
the vehicle and then when she realized she was in
the wrong car, the driver would not let her out.
And now the Sheriff's office down there was looking for
a man in his thirties in connection with her attempted
kidnapping and kissing me Florida, and of course miss she
misidentified the man. She thought the silver suv was her
Uber and the driver was sitting there smoking dope at
(02:17):
the time. Offered her a ride. She got in and
they went and then he wouldn't let her out. He
began making looted inappropriate comments. She demanded that he let
her out.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
He would not.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
She began panicking, screaming, and tried to get out of
the car to escape. He sped up, so she'd tried
to open the door. He sped up, which threw her
off balance and she fell out of the car while
it was moving. She was able to take a picture
of the suv and send the picture and a described
the man of the police.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
But wow, I mean.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Always check those license plates, y'all. Always check them, and
then ask your driver's name. Don't ask if you're an uber.
Don't ask them if they're an uber, ask them for
the name of the driver. Like, are you you know whatever?
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Are you staying? Are you Joe?
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Are you If someone gets in my car accidentally, I'm
not gonna try and kidnap him. I'm gonna tell him
to get the hell out. I don't know what this
guy was doing, Well, he's not.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
It's also like, who sits there in idols and your
door's unlocked?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
I don't ever do that.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
I have got I mean, my doors is locked, then
I don't unlock them until the person is their hand
their handle on the door.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
I just I don't know. It's crazy. Let's see.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Last, but not least, the Florida man was arrested after
his after toddlers were pictured with guns, beer and dope.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Yeah, Taylor canoop or noop? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Florida was arrested because apparently he uh there were He
was charged to child neglect.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
The children were placed with relatives.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
He's the dad, and he apparently had all these photographs
of his babies like actual like two year olds and
like a nine months old with guns and beer and drugs. Wow,
he got way way in trouble with that. And that's
our friends at Celtech. You guys are very familiar with
Celtech based in Florida, USA. Obviously, everything made in the
(04:07):
USA manufacturer and they have a lot of really cool stuff.
The KS seven This is a really nice pump action
shotgun and you need to check it out. It's the
brand new KS seven Gen two pack with upgrades. Five
slot Picatinny style accessory rail. You got to that underneath
so you can add for almost set horizontal vertical grips.
You can add lights, so you can.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Keep it flush and sleek with a cap. But it's a.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Smoother pump actions, you have faster cleaner cycle, and you
got enhanced durability. All of the other advantages are there.
It's super ultra lightweight still I just barely under. I
mean it's right under seven pounds, unloaded, compact poolpup design,
maneuverability in tight spaces, ambidextras downwards, shell ejection seven plus
one capacity, great for home defense, range days, anywhere in between.
And the MSRP makes it super accessible. It's six point
(04:54):
thirty nine.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
So you get all of that performance well within reach.
It's a celtech innovation made in America. Feel k e
l t Ec Weapons dot Com. Tell them that Dana sent.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
You too quick construction questions. If I can't, you mentioned
any construction project comes with changes. The President had initially
said that this project wouldn't interfere with or touched the
current structure. Now he says to do this properly. You
realized that the east wing had to be demolished. This
(05:24):
is the people's house. Why not inform the public of
that change? And when it was decided that the east
wing would have to be demolished.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
Look again, with any construction project, changes come and we
have informed all of you. We've been keeping you apprized
of this project. We've shown you the renderings, and if
you look at the renderings, it's very clear the East
Wing was going to be modernized instead.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
In fact, I said that in the briefing.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
When we initially introduced this plan to all of you
and to the public. Well again the President. The plans
changed when the President heard council from the architects and
the construction companies who said that in order for this
East Wing to be modern and beautiful for many many
years to comfort, to be a truly strong and stable structure,
(06:07):
this phase one that we're now in was necessary. And
the President wants to do right by the people's House,
and so that's exactly what he's doing. It's going to
be again, like I said, much more stable, strong, secure,
and more beautiful than ever once it's complete.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Where will those be Percy's offices, the Social.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Secretary of Community HM the list of people, and that
was Caroline Levitt, who is going back and forth.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
There was an ABC reporter about this.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
I mean, I remember, I do remember they said that
there was a in the beginning that depending on what
they found when they got into the initial demolition of
the outside, the little car park outside, they were waiting
to see whether or not they would have to do more,
take down more of the structure than just that. And
(06:55):
then apparently when they get in there, when they got
in there, considering when the east wing was was built,
it was like what the forties and then they did
other renovations in the fifties, they actually that was like
back when they used asbestos, and the asbestos for this
(07:19):
Literally we pulled this up because I had this last night.
There's like a whole advocacy group for it. In terms
of construction. They said that there were concerns because it's
over the east wing with it back when it was
originally built, in the later editions of it, that was
apparently at the height of the use of asbestos in construction,
(07:45):
and that I mean, so that required apparently them to
do more because they needed to get you know, they
had to do testing asbestos. They had and I'm actually,
by the way, Lorraine just posted literally what I had
in front of me right now, because they had a
whole abatement that they had. It was EPA OSHA and
(08:08):
also they were working with Clark Construction in ae COM
with worker protection and all of that as a result,
and so they had to actually do more to get
to get some of that other material out. And then
by the time they got at that point, they said,
you know what, why don't we just reinforce this and
use this And so it ended up being actually easier
to do it the way that they're doing it than not.
(08:30):
And we do know a little bit about construction. But
because my husband worked in construction. He reabilited, he rehabbed
a city block in downtown Saint Louis, it was a
major project, and built this amazing studio in condos, So
we know about construction. I mean we lived it and
they had a hole. They went through this whole exact
same thing too, because there was asbestos in the building
(08:51):
when they were rehabbing it and all of that. So
I know the process of it, and it's a it's
a big process, and sometimes you get to a certain
point you're like, Okay, it's just better to just go
all the way instead of go through this. For the
lack of a better way to put it, the whole
abatement of this, it's just easier, and so that ultimately,
(09:13):
and I remember when they said they said, they never
said that there wasn't a possibility. They just said that
it could happen, but they need to see when they
get in there what they find, and then they'll go
from there. So it's not like I just I just
rejected the argument that everybody was kept in the dark
about it. The people that are the other people that
(09:34):
are funding it. I mean, we're getting it's the people's house,
and we're getting a free ballroom. So let me just
go through the names. ALTA Group, Amazon, Apple, Booz Allen Hamilton, Caterpillar, Coinbase, Comcast,
Jpepe and Amelia Fennul, hard Rock International, Google, HP Like EID, Martin,
Meta Platforms, Micron Technology, Microsoft Next, Extra Energy, Planets, Your Technologies,
(10:00):
Reynolds American Team Mobile, Tyler America, Union, Pacific, Roil World, Reilroad,
Adelson Family Foundation, Stefanie Brody, the Betty Wold Johnson Foundation,
Charles and Marissa Saskarilla, Edward and Sherry Glazer, Harold Ham,
Benjamin Leon Jr. The Lutnik Family, the Laura and Isaac
(10:22):
Pearlmutter Foundation, Steven Schwarzman, Konstantin Sokolov, Kelly Leffler and Jeff Sprecker,
Paolo TIREMANI, Cameron Winklevoss, Tyler Winklevoss, they were Facebook guys. Interesting,
those are all the people and entities that have been
donating to this. So where is this because that was
(10:47):
the other accusation that taxpayer dollars have been going towards this,
and the project has been in the works for a
long time. So this is I mean, New York Post
published the list of all of the other donors. Hakeem Jeffreys,
(11:09):
we played that audio for you yesterday. He said, Oh,
we're going to have an investigation.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
We're going to get to the.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Bottom of all the people involved in this. Well for
what purpose?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
For what?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Because they to send them a thank you card for
a free ballroom. I was asking a friend of mine
that was in the White House press pool and does
all this stuff. It This actually is needed because it
is true that the East Room cannot could not They
(11:44):
can't accommodate more. They can barely accommodate two hundred people,
definitely cannot accommodate more than two hundred and depending on
the event, and you know, like if you're like, all
the stuff that's going on in there, you may not
be able to get two hundred. So what they used
to have to do is and what they still have
to do right now is they would have to erect
(12:06):
a giant tent on the south lawn and hold the
events in the tent at the south lawn. And one
of my friends was saying, gosh, it was awful when
it wore rain and you know, they didn't like being
a member of the press and having their like minded
and having to cover this if it was like cold,
if it's rainy, it's just you know, it's not the
most ideal situation. So when they had a state dinner,
(12:32):
when the last state dinner that they so when they
had a huge state dinner, I think this was like
maybe back in when was this when they had the
president and first Lady of Kenya. They had to go outside.
They had to have their event outside. So imagine you
have to put a tent on the lawn and everybody
goes outside to eat. And yeah, you can have space,
heaters and all of that, but is it the most comfortable?
(12:53):
Is it the best? So and they've been doing I
mean this is you know, been happening for a while.
There's a lot of drawbacks, especially when there's an issue
with the weather. They have issues with bathroom facilities because
you got to make shift stuff when you have a
tent on the lawn. This is actually something I do
agree with, and I'm very particular about taxpayer dollars. This
(13:16):
isn't even taxpayer dollars. It's all privately funded. See the
other stuff that other previous presidents added. I would say
maybe with the exception of the creation of the East Wing, originally,
everything else has been for presidential use. The Clinton's added
a music room that the other presidents have added, bowling alleys,
and pools.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Gerald Ford added a pool.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
He wanted an outdoor pool, not just a lap pool,
but a pool that he could swim in. You had
Obama put in a basketball court, you had others put
in tennis courts, all kinds of stuff. I mean a
lot of the stuff that they put in previously with
stuff for their own personal use. This is something that's
actually going to be used functionally for the White House.
(13:55):
And because it can be a mess the and my
friend was saying, because my friend has had to cover
these events before, and my friend was saying that it's
kind of a mess, especially if it's raining when you
have inclement weather, And it also kind of some people
(14:17):
have said that people think that they're going to a
state dinner at the White House and then they realize
they're not even going into the White House.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
They're going to a tent.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Outside and it is very expensive to get the kitchen
stuff out there and set up the kitchen, and then
they have to redo and basically put down turf every
time they do one of these events. Also, where's Marine
one land? Because Marine one always lands on South Lawn?
(14:49):
So what happens when you've got a big event and
it's out there on the south lawn and you got
to help, You can't where that's where Marine one lands,
So and when the tint is up, the marine one
can't land. And the State Dining Room if you look
at going inside of the State Dining Room that maybe
I think they said as like one hundred and twenty
hundred and thirty guests state dinners. When you have leaders
(15:10):
that come in there, that's a lot more than that.
And they actually were charged they made space. They were
trying to make space even during Reagan's era in that
East wing, and the East wing is a lot of
unused offices and a lot of space that's actually not
even entirely useful. So the bathroom situation, that's a whole
other thing. And they can make it look really pretty
(15:31):
out there, but you're outside in a tent and everybody
knows it, and you have to walk outside to get
into the tent and they put the carpet down and
all that stuff. But you guys, know, ladies, you know
how it is. It's not the best. You got wind, breeze, humidity,
everything else out there. All these people go to this
event to look nice for it, and then they go
out there and you're out there in the humidity, you're
(15:53):
out there in the weather. The bathroom situation is abysmal.
It's a mess, no matter how you do it so well.
I actually think that this is a good move to
so that way you can actually have a proper state dinner,
and the White House can hold these events and a
(16:13):
lot of the other rooms in the White House, I mean,
they're at capacity as it is, and always have been originally.
So why are people why is this such a huge issue.
It's privately funded. Everybody who's donated to it has been
made public. You know how much has been donated. The
President has also donated his own money. It is something
(16:34):
that is going to be utilized pretty heavily for all
events at the White House, so they don't have to
move out antiques and historical artifacts from other rooms to
accommodate people when they're trying to get as many people
in to these other rooms for state events.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
So I have zero.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Issue with us that I don't see one next Caine,
I do not see a single drawback from any of
this as we move. Our partners that help bring you

it's time for Dana's Quick five.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Target has cut eighteen hundred corporate jobs in its first
round of major layoffs in a decade.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
This is a lot.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
What are they gonna do because like Christmas seasons, Like,
isn't that like their busiest it's like their busiest season.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
What are they gonna do?
Speaker 1 (18:25):
So they said that they announced this yesterday. It's about
eight percent of its corporate workforce. But if it's corporate
doesn't matter. First off, how do you have that.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Many corporate bombs? That's kind of crazy.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Anyway, I haven't been to Target and forever. They're trying
to get back to growth and they're poised to get
a new CEO in February. How many of you think
that a lot of this began when they started messing
with the men and women's bathrooms, because that's actually one
of the reasons I didn't go back to Target.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
I've had to go like.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
One time in the past two years because they had
like a skin I get, like mild eggs, muth. They
have like a skin thing that I needed over the
counter that I couldn't get anywhere else, and I'm gonna
go there.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
So if you look at their stocks and when it
actually dipped, it coincides with that time.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
I'm just saying, I feel like they need to make
a play. And then all of the weird alphabet stuff
that they were doing. I don't think anybody's gone on there.
Magnolia seems to be at home in it. Let's see,
locals are leaving and permits are few. Malibu is having
a post fire identity crisis.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
They don't know what to do.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
But they have wood frames that are white rising over
from the ashes of those crazy fires that now you've
just have burned out lots in the Palisades and everywhere else,
but they said in Malibu down the road, it's really bleak.
There's just a lot of caution tape. There's a lot
of hollowed out shells, a lot of the houses. I
am not a graffiti tagged, And I mean it's been
almost a year and everything is like frozen because it
(19:52):
is impossible to get permitted to do anything. In fact,
listen to this LA which handles most permits. They've only
they've issued nearly over forty percent of permits upon the
total of applications received. And this is literally all rebuilding permits.
None of it's like new architect knew nothing. It's just
literally rebuilding what was existing. And LA County has handled
(20:15):
on even less. It's under twenty six percent of the
total applications received, Malibu under two percent. They don't want
to rebuild, they're doing this on purpose, so people need
to move. Wall Street bonus is expected to hit record
as bank profits surge. Interesting, we'll come back to that.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Also.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Francis Ford coppol who's one of my absolute favorite, says
he's broke and he's selling a custom one million dollar
watch after his Megalopolis debacle. You know what he did,
the Godfather. No one can touch him. He is untouchable
in my eyes.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Stick with us. More to come.
Speaker 6 (20:50):
Well, they're doing everything by the book. Why does Chicago
have the highest murder rate of all the big cities. Well,
we are not in the top thirty in terms of
our murder rate and rate. Our murder rate has been
cut in half over the last four years. And every
year it's gone down by double digits. And if you
look at all of the violent crime over the last
(21:10):
four years, they've all gone down. US cities seventeen point
forty seven per one hundred thousand population. Chicago's number one
over Philadelphia, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Phoenix, Los Angeles, New.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
York, and San Diego.
Speaker 6 (21:23):
What I'm explaining to you as.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
You really about violent crime.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
Look, you can pull statistics up.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
These are murders.
Speaker 6 (21:29):
I'm explaining to you that our murder rate has been
cut in half. And very importantly, Brett, and You've got
to hear this, very importantly, we've been doing the things
that are necessary to bring crime down. Right. We've invested
in community violence interruption, We've invested in police.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
No they haven't.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Actually, in fact, they're the clearance for these cases have
dropped dramatically as well, meaning, you know, going after prosecuting,
solving felonious you know, felony crimes, et cetera. That's Aby
Pritzker who is on with Brett Baar, and it's hysterical
because JB. Pritzker is going, well, yeah, like we cut crime,
(22:07):
we don't nothing's wrong anymore. And Brett bear is like, yeah, well,
here are the receipts and you're number one in terms
of homicide your your tops and Pritzker's like, well, that's
just a lie.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
You know, we don't care about your receipts. It's a lie.
We cut it in half.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
It's cut in half, but you're still number one. You
cut it in half, but you're still number one. Imagine
if you hadn't reduced anything, right, It's insane. These people
are insane. But this is this is that was his excuse.
They I think he's very far removed from the reality
(22:46):
that happens on his streets every single day, every single day.
But I actually, I mean they're cut in half and
still number one. Why does the Why is the murder
rate the highest of all time, we're not thirty. Yeah,
but here's the map, and then here is the all
of the crime data as it's tabulated by your actual
(23:09):
law enforcement agencies. And he's like, you can put up
all the statistics you want. We've cut our murder rate
in half. You're still number one, Lunchbox, you're number one.
You cut it in half, you claim, and you're still
number one.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
Jeez.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
I would have not have gone past that. I don't
get met at Bredbearer because he did. You have to
realize that, especially with some producers and you know, some
of the big wigs with network news, they don't want
you to stay on that topic forever because they don't
think it's good television.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
They want you to get past it.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
It's like when you know fighters are kind of like
hugging it out when they're resting in the ring. It's
like sort of that's how they view it. So I
get I get it, but I wouldn't let him go.
I would have just stayed on him, like, wait, we
can't go. I mean, they're they're still number one. They
are number one in terms of murder rate, murder and shootings, murder, shootings,
(24:05):
all crime, violent crime, whatever, they're number one.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
I and they.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
I I even with now, I will say they do
have a reduction. They had a reduction with us some
violent crime. Do you know how they had a reduction
with violent crime? You just it's crazy. But if you
don't report it, then it's wild.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
It goes away.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Is that wild? If you if a crime happens, then
you don't report it. Did the crime happen? That's their
whole mo that's their whole thing with us. So they've
done that in California. I mean they've had since when
Pritzker became governor. In the city of Chicago, I mean
since twenty nineteen, you've had over four thousand people shot
(24:54):
and killed. It's all like gang activity, drugs and gangs.
Drugs and gangs, drugs and gangs. Now a lot of
people say Saint Louis, Oh, well Saint Louis Is. Actually, well,
we'll hold up, hold up, that's our hometown. I take
exception to that. Yes, Saint Louis has a butt ton
of crime. That's an actual quantifiable measurement. By the way,
(25:15):
it has a ton of crime. But the reason that
Saint Louis City ranks number one is because Saint Louis
City is not incorporated into the county.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
That's why.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
So they look at number of crimes per you know,
per person for adjusted to the population, and so it
looks incredibly high.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Now it's very high.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
It's definitely the top five, but it's not number one
because of the only saving grace is it's not incorporated.
It's very weird how the city and the county are
set up. The city has its own government, its own everything,
county has its own government.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
It's on everything.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
It's very odd, cane, isn't it. And it's it's difficult
to explain that to people who don't gah.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
That the downtown numbers as far as people living downtown
Saint Louis have dropped dramatically thanks to Democrat policies, unfortunately,
and so as a result, the percentages are larger. That's
the reason.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Yeah, that's it. That's why. But Chicago number one murder rate.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
And he's when he was saying that it was dropped
in half, I mean it's not actually dropped in half.
He only reduced it. I mean by I mean I
wouldn't I would think, like doing the math, I think it's.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Like barely eleven percent he's like, oh, we cut in half.
It's not.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
He's trying to imply that he cut homicide by fifty percent.
He didn't, and then he's trying to act like it's
part of the decrease is because better policing. They've actually
have have hindered policing efforts, and they declassified a lot
of crimes and they just don't report things. Their Their
clearance for these felonies is like abysmal.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
I mean, it's not.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Detroit's, which is at fifteen percent, but it's like in
the twenty something percent.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
And this.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Idea that that is some big win for him. Can
you imagine? No, you're still number one in murder. Yeah,
but we cut it in half. So what a you're
number one in murder? That's not a do you need
to get past? You be number one right now? You're
number one in murder.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Oh my gosh, it's still pretty bad. I I don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
I mean, what is it like seventeen, isn't it? I
was looking at the rate, this is a per one
hundred thousand. Isn't it like seventeen something like that?
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Over seventeen, Oh yeah, it is over seventeen. I'm looking
at Oohooo, really bad guys.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
And the latest budget, they've actually asked the Chicago Police
Department to come up with ninety eight million in cuts.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
What because they're spending so much on their policing efforts. King,
they're spending so much on their policing and that is
a true story. They wanted a ninety eight million. They're
having a city budget crisis in Chicago. How is that possible?
I'm just so confused. How is that possible that they
would have that. I mean, it's everything's doing great. If
(28:02):
you listen to JB. Pritzker, it's kittens and sunshine up there.
Everything's so good. They have all this time on their
hands to go after Ice. Now, the Chicago Police Superintendent
Larry Snelling was saying, guys, public safety is going to
be it greatly impacted if you cut ninety eight million
(28:23):
dollars out of our budget. Because they have budget definite,
they they keep spending or sorry, ninety two million. They
keep spending like crazy. They've they've spent on entitlements and
on illegal aliens, that's what. And then they spend it
on busting people up to go and fight with Ice.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
