Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsored by Keltech. 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
(00:21):
boyfriend with a machete during a fight over cell phones. Yes,
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
(00:42):
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
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 in sane and when he tried to
enter the apartment, she tried to shut the door on him.
(01:02):
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 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,
(01:24):
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
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 were still in her apartment and
now just kind of rotting in the fridge. That I
(01:45):
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 for a lucky stroll with a happy ending. According
to the Saint Lucy County Sheriff's Office, Special Investigations Division
responded to an ongoing complaint of lewde and lascivious activity
(02:07):
that was happening with in the DJ. Wilcox Preserve near
Old Dixie Highway in Fort Pierce. Deputies launched an undercover
operation to begin monitoring the area. The Sheriff's office said
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
(02:30):
old approach undercover detective and proposition himself for sexual activity,
and both gentlemen were booked on counts of exposure of
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
(02:54):
on record with that too, So whether or not they'll
get charged with the legal possession of AG or anything
like that, I don't know. I don't know the answer
to that. And if 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
(03:15):
in Friday after a man was shot. Investigators are working
to see if the incidents are related. They responded to
this someone 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 the
(03:37):
best of luck on this Thanksgiving and at least you know,
it's an opportunity now to I don't know what I
have little Turkey in prison. I'm not really sure what
all these Florida people get otherwise.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
So the case against the President is over in Georgia
and the death to the Turkeys over after the President
pardoned them to the White House. Welcome back to the
Dana Show. It's great to have you here today. It's
me Rich Zioli in for Dana, pleasure to be with
you on this travel Wednesday. It's some audio for you
as well. So let's start with the President joking about
the turkeys that he pardoned and the names he wanted
(05:24):
to give them besides their actual names. Cut one, Okay,
that's going to be saved.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
The turkey's being partnered today, go by the names of
Gobble and Waddle. When I first saw the pictures, I
thought we should send them. Well, I was gonna I
shouldn't say this.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
I was going to call him Chuck a.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Nancy, but then I realized I wouldn't be partnering them.
I would never pardon those two people.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
No, no, no, no, no no. 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 in New Jersey in Virginia,
(06:13):
which I am factoring that in, 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 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.
(06:35):
But the shutdown, 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 deadbeats. 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
(06:57):
going 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
(07:21):
shutdown going until after 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,
(07:42):
they want Chuck Schumer Gohn 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 and New Jersey. And it worked. The shutdown
worked in that sense. Achieved nothing except those two big
(08:05):
gugnatorial victories. And I absolutely one hundred pcently who played
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,
(08:25):
I really did laugh tho when the President made the
joke about the pardons with the turkeys. This is my
favorite cut.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Too 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
(08:53):
was pardoned other than uh, Where's Hunter.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
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
(09:18):
gotten out of the race. He's a snarky, stubborn, old kager, stubborn,
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 Pods Save
(09:41):
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 we have the receipts, and we will make
(10:02):
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 in the twenty twenty election interference fuges
reco case, they were going after the president, the current president,
(10:26):
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 that plea agreement
(10:47):
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 all the Biden
(11:08):
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 not
going to be a plea agreement. They would delay it,
(11:31):
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 him. 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
was entirely designed to set him up to show America
(11:53):
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
raising this issue and bringing it to light, because while
(12:19):
you may not be able to reverse those part ins,
it's good for everybody to know exactly how the president
of the United States was not functioning and how the
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
be a gift is Kamala Harris. Of course, I mean,
she's pulling higher than Gavin Newsom's oily, slick hair in
(12:40):
California right now. She's probably going to 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 discount the effect of 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
(13:03):
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 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
(13:27):
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 a wonder
if the staff was going 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
(13:48):
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 a ban on the export
of liquid natural gas when the must win state and
the twenty twenty four election was Pennsylvania, home of liquid
natural gas, the state's biggest source of energy and source
(14:15):
of the economy as well. Never would have done that.
But I do think people in this administration went rogue,
just like they went rogue with the Partons, because they figured,
why not, guys not running the show, we can do
anything we want.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
If you want to be able to protect yourself when
local or municipal laws prevent you from doing so, you
need to diversify your weapons array and check out some
of the stuff that they offer at Berner Gun. It
shoots chemical irrit and projectiles that can deter threats from
up to fifty feet away. Easy target acquisition, no recoil,
and Berner requires no background checks. It's illegal in all
(14:48):
fifty states. It ships straight to your door, and in
addition to that, they have several different models. The cl
is the most compact one that they have, but you
should definitely check it out. Take advantage also of Berna's
Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale. Get fifteen percent off sidewide.
It's their biggest sale of the year. I can't believe
we're already in Black Friday season, Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
(15:10):
Visit Berna dot com, b y r Na dot com.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
And now all of the news you would probably miss,
it's time for Dana's Quick five.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
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 a blank slate
and then we fill it with nonsense. Apparently, according to
a study, lab grown human brain cells spontaneously organized into
(15:44):
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 or your destiny. Anyway, Week long, social media
detox actually leads young adults to spend even more time
(16:06):
on their phones. I know, crazy, right, It's kind of
like when you do drive January and then February first
comes along and you just going just give me a beer.
They track tw hundred ninety five young adults who quit Facebook, Instagram,
et cetera, et cetera 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
(16:29):
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
(16:50):
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
(17:11):
to see that one as much as the other one,
but the Reckoning will arrive December. Second of four ports
far fourth part SERI excuse me. We'll focus on the
sexual abuse allegations against Ditty Coombs, 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
(17:32):
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.
Go figure. Now Newsom is going to run for president,
Josh Shapiro is going to run for presidents. The governor
of Pennsylvania, he signed a bill into law that is
(17:53):
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 and to post
so relentlessly on Instagram and TikTok and Facebook, and how
does he do it? The answer is he has a
(18:15):
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 no Broaden Liberty wrote
a whole piece about this. How many people Governor Josh
Shapiro has dedicated to do his social media outreach for
(18:37):
the office that the Pennsylvania taxpayers are paying for 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 both
there for that, mucking it up, taking pictures, posting selfies.
(18:59):
But he signs this completely unnecessary bill into law, but
he gets the grand standover it cuts sixteen.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
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
(19:28):
they wear their hair. That's unacceptable, and in a moment,
it will be illegal.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
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, how are 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 Zoli and then I saw he had a mullet
and I decided against it. This is one of those
(19:56):
dumb problems in st in search of a problem, as
they say, and that's what it really is. So he
gets the grandstand 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
(20:17):
probably deal with this. A 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
(20:37):
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 going to see a
lot more grandstanding now between now and twenty twenty eight.
(20:59):
Probably should remember Kathy Griffin held up the bloodless or
the bloody decapitated severed head image of Donald Trump. 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 be a
(21:21):
very annoying endeavor 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 just
be yourself? She strikes me as one of those people,
(21:45):
and you know that she's just just yearning for attention.
You're like yearning just with a lot of these people.
These actors 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 I see,
I'm the opposite. I don't want any attention, and when
I'm off the air, I am done, and do not
bring up politics around me. If it's my day off
(22:08):
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, for example,
My advice would be just don't discuss politics. Just don't
(22:29):
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 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
(22:52):
your time. That's my advice. But I'm not going to
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
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
(23:14):
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 that, I just don't
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
(23:37):
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 5 (23:49):
I had some good friends. I will say I lost
about so 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
(24:09):
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
(24:29):
for that now. I just want to like really talk
to people.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
I feel bad for those people when they're doing God's
work helping or 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 anyway. Thanks 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
(00:21):
boyfriend with a machete during a fight over cell phones. Yes,
Liz Fretschel, forty nine, arrested on Friday and booking to
the Turner Guildford Night Correctional Center, where she's being held

in Miami Thursday night when he reportedly saw photos on
her phone and her hugging another man and holding hands
(00:42):
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
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 in sane and when he tried to
enter the apartment, she tried to shut the door on him.
(01:02):
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 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,
(01:24):
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
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 were still in her apartment and
now just kind of rotting in the fridge. That I
(01:45):
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 for a lucky stroll with a happy ending. According
to the Saint Lucy County Sheriff's Office, Special Investigations Division
responded to an ongoing complaint of lewde and lascivious activity
(02:07):
that was happening with in the DJ. Wilcox Preserve near
Old Dixie Highway in Fort Pierce. Deputies launched an undercover
operation to begin monitoring the area. The Sheriff's office said
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
(02:30):
old approach undercover detective and proposition himself for sexual activity,
and both gentlemen were booked on counts of exposure of
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
(02:54):
on record with that too, So whether or not they'll
get charged with the legal possession of AG or anything
like that, I don't know. I don't know the answer
to that. And if 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
(03:15):
in Friday after a man was shot. Investigators are working
to see if the incidents are related. They responded to
this someone 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 the
(03:37):
best of luck on this Thanksgiving and at least you know,
it's an opportunity now to I don't know what I
have little Turkey in prison. I'm not really sure what
all these Florida people get otherwise.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
So the case against the President is over in Georgia
and the death to the Turkeys over after the President
pardoned them to the White House. Welcome back to the
Dana Show. It's great to have you here today. It's
me Rich Zioli in for Dana, pleasure to be with
you on this travel Wednesday. It's some audio for you
as well. So let's start with the President joking about
the turkeys that he pardoned and the names he wanted
(05:24):
to give them besides their actual names. Cut one, Okay,
that's going to be saved.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
The turkey's being partnered today, go by the names of
Gobble and Waddle. When I first saw the pictures, I
thought we should send them. Well, I was gonna I
shouldn't say this.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
I was going to call him Chuck a.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Nancy, but then I realized I wouldn't be partnering them.
I would never pardon those two people.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
No, no, no, no, no no. 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 in New Jersey in Virginia,
(06:13):
which I am factoring that in, 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 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.
(06:35):
But the shutdown, 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 deadbeats. 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
(06:57):
going 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
(07:21):
shutdown going until after 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,
(07:42):
they want Chuck Schumer Gohn 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 and New Jersey. And it worked. The shutdown
worked in that sense. Achieved nothing except those two big
(08:05):
gugnatorial victories. And I absolutely one hundred pcently who played
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,
(08:25):
I really did laugh tho when the President made the
joke about the pardons with the turkeys. This is my
favorite cut.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Too 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
(08:53):
was pardoned other than uh, Where's Hunter.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
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
(09:18):
gotten out of the race. He's a snarky, stubborn, old kager, stubborn,
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 Pods Save
(09:41):
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 we have the receipts, and we will make
(10:02):
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 in the twenty twenty election interference fuges
reco case, they were going after the president, the current president,
(10:26):
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 that plea agreement
(10:47):
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 all the Biden
(11:08):
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 not
going to be a plea agreement. They would delay it,
(11:31):
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 him. 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
was entirely designed to set him up to show America
(11:53):
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
raising this issue and bringing it to light, because while
(12:19):
you may not be able to reverse those part ins,
it's good for everybody to know exactly how the president
of the United States was not functioning and how the
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
be a gift is Kamala Harris. Of course, I mean,
she's pulling higher than Gavin Newsom's oily, slick hair in
(12:40):
California right now. She's probably going to 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 discount the effect of 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
(13:03):
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 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
(13:27):
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 a wonder
if the staff was going 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
(13:48):
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 a ban on the export
of liquid natural gas when the must win state and
the twenty twenty four election was Pennsylvania, home of liquid
natural gas, the state's biggest source of energy and source
(14:15):
of the economy as well. Never would have done that.
But I do think people in this administration went rogue,
just like they went rogue with the Partons, because they figured,
why not, guys not running the show, we can do
anything we want.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
If you want to be able to protect yourself when
local or municipal laws prevent you from doing so, you
need to diversify your weapons array and check out some
of the stuff that they offer at Berner Gun. It
shoots chemical irrit and projectiles that can deter threats from
up to fifty feet away. Easy target acquisition, no recoil,
and Berner requires no background checks. It's illegal in all
(14:48):
fifty states. It ships straight to your door, and in
addition to that, they have several different models. The cl
is the most compact one that they have, but you
should definitely check it out. Take advantage also of Berna's
Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale. Get fifteen percent off sidewide.
It's their biggest sale of the year. I can't believe
we're already in Black Friday season, Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
(15:10):
Visit Berna dot com, b y r Na dot com.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
And now all of the news you would probably miss,
it's time for Dana's Quick five.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
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 a blank slate
and then we fill it with nonsense. Apparently, according to
a study, lab grown human brain cells spontaneously organized into
(15:44):
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 or your destiny. Anyway, Week long, social media
detox actually leads young adults to spend even more time
(16:06):
on their phones. I know, crazy, right, It's kind of
like when you do drive January and then February first
comes along and you just going just give me a beer.
They track tw hundred ninety five young adults who quit Facebook, Instagram,
et cetera, et cetera 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
(16:29):
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
(16:50):
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
(17:11):
to see that one as much as the other one,
but the Reckoning will arrive December. Second of four ports
far fourth part SERI excuse me. We'll focus on the
sexual abuse allegations against Ditty Coombs, 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
(17:32):
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.
Go figure. Now Newsom is going to run for president,
Josh Shapiro is going to run for presidents. The governor
of Pennsylvania, he signed a bill into law that is
(17:53):
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 and to post
so relentlessly on Instagram and TikTok and Facebook, and how
does he do it? The answer is he has a
(18:15):
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 no Broaden Liberty wrote
a whole piece about this. How many people Governor Josh
Shapiro has dedicated to do his social media outreach for
(18:37):
the office that the Pennsylvania taxpayers are paying for 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 both
there for that, mucking it up, taking pictures, posting selfies.
(18:59):
But he signs this completely unnecessary bill into law, but
he gets the grand standover it cuts sixteen.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
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
(19:28):
they wear their hair. That's unacceptable, and in a moment,
it will be illegal.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
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, how are 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 Zoli and then I saw he had a mullet
and I decided against it. This is one of those
(19:56):
dumb problems in st in search of a problem, as
they say, and that's what it really is. So he
gets the grandstand 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
(20:17):
probably deal with this. A 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
(20:37):
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 going to see a
lot more grandstanding now between now and twenty twenty eight.
(20:59):
Probably should remember Kathy Griffin held up the bloodless or
the bloody decapitated severed head image of Donald Trump. 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 be a
(21:21):
very annoying endeavor 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 just
be yourself? She strikes me as one of those people,
(21:45):
and you know that she's just just yearning for attention.
You're like yearning just with a lot of these people.
These actors 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 I see,
I'm the opposite. I don't want any attention, and when
I'm off the air, I am done, and do not
bring up politics around me. If it's my day off
(22:08):
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, for example,
My advice would be just don't discuss politics. Just don't
(22:29):
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 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
(22:52):
your time. That's my advice. But I'm not going to
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
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
(23:14):
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 that, I just don't
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
(23:37):
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 5 (23:49):
I had some good friends. I will say I lost
about so 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
(24:09):
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
(24:29):
for that now. I just want to like really talk
to people.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
I feel bad for those people when they're doing God's
work helping or 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 anyway. Thanks for
