Speaker 1 (00:02):
After careful analysis, in obedience to governing mandates and pursue
to the rule of law, this Court has determined that
the only lawful sentence that permits entry of a judgment
of conviction without encroaching upon the highest office in the
land is an unconditional discharge, which the New York State

(00:25):
Legislature has determined is a lawful and permissible sentence for
the crime of falsifying business records in the first degree. Therefore,
at this time, I impose that sentence to cover all
thirty four counts. Sir, I wish you got speed as
you assume the second term in office.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
I could talk about probably a dozen different reversible errors
in this case, but the jury was not asked to
find unanimously the crime that Trump was supposedly covering up
when he allegedly falsified his business records. It's a bedrock
principle of the criminal law that if it's a fact

(01:08):
that is going to drive the sentence, and we're talking
now about the fact that turned this what's ordinarily a
misdemeanor in New York law into a felony. If it's
that kind of a fact, that's that consequential for sentencing.
It has to be found unanimously by the jury, and
this jury didn't. And no one in his right mind
thinks that you have to give voice to a jury

(01:28):
verdict when there's patent constitutional error in the case.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
That's our friend Andy McCarthy who's talking about this, this decision,
this weird decision that came in from the judge today,
this judge Matron, and this has to do with this
New York case. I look, I know it's important to
get into some of the details of it. I hate
it and I have avoided it because I think it's
just a performative witch hunt and I cannot stand giving

(01:58):
it any kind of the credibility of coverage. Does that
make sense? Like it's so infuriating. It's such an infuriating topic.
And I we have Lorraine that covers it for the newsletter,
and she gets into all of the minutia. So if
you subscribe over a chapter and verse, that's what she does.

(02:19):
She gets into all the minutia of it. Because some
of the stuff is so petty and it just is
disheartening to see the state of our judicial system. And
I mean, you can hear any McCarthy talking about how weird.
All of this is, but they just all of this
is about them being able to say he's a felon.

(02:42):
They want to be able to say he's a felon
without he didn't have to serve a single sentence, single day.
They just want to be able to say he's a felon.
That's why you have this this weird unconditional discharge. And
isn't it true that they were just like telling the
jury just go find whatever. Yeah, just go find whatever.

(03:06):
I mean, it's really difficult to believe in justice when
this is the system and this is the stuff that
you this is the stuff that you're seeing happen. It's
really difficult to believe in the concept of justice after this.
So welcome to the show, Dana Lash with you, and

(03:26):
we got a number of things to get into, including
this where we also have the latest with the fires
and there's a lot of arson. I mean, it's really
unbelievable some of this stuff that we've been able to see.
They had a press conference just a little bit ago,

(03:47):
and I mean, this is listen to this. This is audio
some bight six. This is one resident. Not everybody who
lives in Malibu has mansions, by the way, listen to
this resident audio some bight six.

Speaker 4 (03:57):
So I kept spraying all the embers and then the
next thing, I know, at thirty foot while the fire
was coming at sixty miles an hour and I couldn't see,
you know, so smoky, and I said, well, it's time
to leave.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
We lost everything we own, but.

Speaker 4 (04:14):
It doesn't even look like a house anymore, just looks
like him.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
Feel so bad something, And they said, a lot of
that is still smoldering. A lot of the fires that
they have, they're still smoldering. So that you have this,
you know, this complete devastation. You have people who are
absolutely heartbroken and they're looking for you know, they're they're

(04:41):
they're trying to go back to their property when the
worst of the fires have passed, and they're trying to
go back, understandably and go through find anything that they
can find that they can you know, keep that they
can have, you know, something from anything. And they have
to be careful because you have these this smoldering it's ongoing,
and that's really obviously it's super dangerous for folks because

(05:06):
I mean, there's still a fire there. And they and
the fire department even said in one of their uh
one of their pressers that you know, they there's pockets
that they haven't checked all the way. There's there's pockets
that they haven't checked all the way, and so they're
desperately trying to make sure that they find all this stuff,

(05:28):
get it all out, and it's just it's, you know,
it's terrifying. There are a number of people. We had
two more friends, well one more friend who lost their home.
Another friend that they had extensive fire damage, but the
structure was still standing. And they're not millionaires by the way.
They don't have like big bougie houses. They're just like regular,
average everyday people. And that's that's, you know, they they

(05:53):
ended up losing, you know, everything. It's it's hor and
not just that the schools too. It's the schools. It's
I think what the high school in Pacific Palisades is gone?

Speaker 5 (06:04):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (06:04):
The high school is a junior high I think it
was the high school that people were saying that was that, yeah,
that had that serious damage, serious damage, And I don't know,
I'm like, looking at some of the pictures of it.
I don't know how the kids go back to school.
This is the other thing I was thinking of the

(06:27):
damage to the schools. Wasn't California the state that was
locked down the longest and the with COVID, it wasn't it.
I think that was the one that was locked down
the longest, that state. And the reason I bring this
up is because what are they going to do now

(06:49):
with their schools? What are they going to do with
their schools? If the kids have no schools to go to?
What the hell happens? Because now you have a number
of schools that damaged, you have a number of businesses
that have been damaged. People have lost their property, So
what do you what happens in the meantime. I feel

(07:09):
so bad for these kids because think about it, a
lot of these kids that are in high school now,
they were like in junior high right when COVID hit.
Now think of it, same same generation. They're like, oh
my gosh, now our schools are burned down. Because it's
not just Pacific Palisades. I think it's there's a couple
of other areas where I think it's been junior highs

(07:30):
or elementaries or high schools. I mean, think about that.
Think about kids that are you know, their schools burned
down there? What I'm thinking their football field, whatever it is,
burned down, and what if they were what if they
were going on scholarship, but if they were trying to
get scholarship, what if they were trying to get anything.
It's just it's so heartbreaking. So we're going to have

(07:51):
the latest with this, and we have some other pretty
interesting developments as it pertains to this. I know that
the left is trying to say to not politicize it,
but holding people accountable, Kane, we talked about this yesterday
while you were iced in, is not holding them. I

(08:12):
mean critical criticism and expecting accountability is not politicizing it.

Speaker 5 (08:19):
Yeah, I don't get it. I think it's spelled out
in our constitution that we have the right to actually
readdress our government. I don't get why all of a
sudden people in government feel as though that's un American
or unpatriotic to do. Yeah, and why they would want
to avoid it. It's part of the job. Also with
these fires, we know the fire, the structure that they

(08:40):
actually have that firemen operate from, that money, the school money,
all of that comes from property taxes, property that has
now burned down. Are they going to do to North
Carolina or do to them what they did in North Carolina.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
And that's one of the things we're going to talk
about getting into this. So first off, I forgot to
even say hello, Dana Lash here with you. We're at
the top of this first hour and I've just got
a lot of stuff opened before me on my four
and a half foot wide gaming screen. H And I
have people who are like, why don't you look into
the camera all the time because I don't have a teleprompter.

(09:13):
All my prep is right here. I've told you this,
I've told people. Some people, I guess just want me
to gaze at them. That's great, But what am I
going to refer to when I'm reading and sharing news
articles with people?

Speaker 6 (09:23):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (09:24):
So this uh we followed, Like I said, we followed
some of this over at substack. I wanted to play
forgive me because I've got a million different odds and
ends that are open. It's a weird news cycle. Uh
this Uh, it's the it's the first off they've been
saying it's climate change. There's all kinds of video. There's

(09:46):
I think is it three separate videos or is it
two firebugs? And then just three videos of two fire bugs.
I want to make sure I'm being accurate, because they
arrested definitely two people for arsin one of them, Uh
was it the Kenneth fire. I think one of the
fires was absolutely one hundred percent arson, and they arrested

(10:08):
a guy and it's on camera. A New York Post
has one story where citizens swept his like used a
MMA move, swept his legs up from underneath him, and
took him into custody because they saw him with a blowtorch,
literally setting things on fire. There was another guy that
we had yesterday who was out in the middle of

(10:28):
the road and somebody caught him on camera setting a fire,
and so they arrested him there. I believe a lot
of this is serial arson because and I mentioned this yesterday.
It just is the way that some of the fires
have spread. It's just weird to me. I'm not a
fire science expert, but I just think it's a little

(10:49):
weird if you have fires happening in the Pacific Palisades
and then you hop miles and miles and miles away
beyond the point of where the wind can take embers,
and especially if it's not not even in the direction
of where the wind is going and you have a
whole other wildfire that breaks out, you know what I mean,
it's a little weird. I'm just saying, especially not like
the one that they just the arsenists that they arrested,

(11:13):
that was one of those areas where they actually I
mean you could see from the video when they approach him,
when citizens approach him, he's like in the like somebody's driveway,
and he's there's there's no fire damage, there's no fire,
they're not in a fire zone, and they catch him
and I was looking on the map, this actually is

(11:34):
an area that is not in the fire zone. So
that's that's what's weird to me. And I just because
a lot of people have been, you know, lifelong residents
in that area have been saying, how is it that
in some instances, when it's not even downwind from the fires,
you have a whole you know. It's just there's a
lot of questions. I think that there's a lot of
arsonists out for sure. I think that you had natural

(11:57):
with wildfire, and then I think it was further compounded
by our sinists and so I don't know, they got
this guy in custody. But the reason I bring this
up is because everybody's been climate climate change. The media
has been insisting that this is climate change. The left
has beenst has been insisting that this is climate change.
And the reason that they're insisting that this arson is

(12:20):
climate change is because, again what I tell you yesterday,
they're trying to absolve they're elected officials of any kind
of culpability with us at all, any culpability they're trying
to absolve. They're elected officials of any of it. And
I don't know, I'm just saying it's, uh, I don't

(12:44):
think that that's going to work. This is sort of
like what happened with some of the Canadian wildfires. They
figured out that those a lot of that was arson
as well. You guys remember all of that. They Yeah,
they figured out a lot of that was arson. So
just I've you know, we've got got a lot of
gestions here as we move. The folks who help bring
you the program, it's our friends over at All Family Pharmacy.

(13:06):

Dana Superman derives his power from the Yellow Sun DC.
Politicians get their power by giving handouts. In nineteen thirteen,
the tax code was four hundred pages long. Today it's
seventy five thousand. This is how politicians derive their power.

Speaker 7 (14:42):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
So how much eyes do we get here in Texas?
I don't know. It's still thirty five degrees and I'm
just not feeling that it's icy. Canaan Wan made it
in how sig roads.

Speaker 5 (14:57):
Are a little chunky, little ruddy with I and stuff,
but the main roads are not that bad. You'll see
little parts of the main road that are not great.
But it was we were brave men this.

Speaker 3 (15:09):
Morning, came out and dead. I gave them the option.
I was like, you guys don't have to try to
make it in today. But I mean, you should have
seen it. It was like a cave here yesterday. You guys
didn't see it because we didn't have video. I'm gonna
share a picture with you though on social media. It
was pitch dark. It was amazing, but they said, I
mean because it's still kind of buttson out there. I
don't know what you would call it. There's like some snow,

(15:31):
some ice. It's weird, still kind of doing it out there.
But yeah, we did get a couple of inches. I
will say, how apparently we could all soon freeze our
bodies and outlive an apocalyptic disaster. First off, who was
building it? Secondly, why do I want to I don't
want to do that. I mean, we're having a hard
enough time, not even in an apocalypse. I can't imagine

(15:51):
being on Earth with some of these insufferable people and
and trying to survive in an apocalyptic situation with their
these and sufferable people. Could you. It's called time shift.
They want to preserve and prolong your misery here on
this rock by offering the world's first cryo preservation facility. Whatever.

(16:12):
I don't know what you can. You can become a
human meat sickle. If that's your jam, it's not my jam,
and I want to be a meat sickle. I'm like
when I'm done. I'm done, like I'm gonna tell my family.
I look at my great grandkids. I'm done with you people, Bye,
see you later. Yes, I do view everything that way.
It's very, very true. The US warns of risk from

(16:34):
the from most of the world's online pharmacies. I think
this is a lie actually, because a lot of them
are incredibly reputable, like all Familyfarmer dot com, slash Dane
where you can go and use Dana Tenney get ten
percent off. They're saying that some of these online pharmacies.
I yeah, if you're like buying from an online pharmacy
that's like van on the side of the road dot com,

(16:55):
that might not be great. But I think it's a
lot of it. It's just people looking for the government
wants to regulate it. That's what I look at it.
We have a whole bunch more on the way stick
with us. Imagine a young woman facing an unplanned pregnancy,
feeling alone and unsure of what to do, and she's
searching for hope, and that's where preborn ministries comes in.
You can make a difference for just twenty eight dollars.

Speaker 9 (18:17):
You want to see somebody that responds to your house
your emergency, whether it's a medical call or a fire
call that looks like you. It gives that person a
little bit more ease knowing that somebody might understand their
situation better. Is she strong enough to do this? Or
you couldn't carry my husband out of a fire, which
my response is he got himself in the wrong place.
If I have to carry him out of a fire, I.

Speaker 3 (18:38):
Don believe that she could harry. That's one of the Christens.
That's one of the fire Department Christens. Remember, so Kane
missed this yesterday. Welcome back, Dana Lash here with you kin.
I don't know if you knew this though, because Kane
was iced in. He was literally in his own he glue.
I like that, Yeah, you had you are all like
trying to stay warm and he glue. Dude was all

(19:00):
iced in. Juan was in a heglu. They were all
iceed in yesterday. They couldn't move. They did not, in fact,
want to build a snowman. And I found and a
friend told me, you know, there are a lot of Christens,
lesbian Christen's at work in the fire department. And I'm
not talking about then, like, oh, well, why are they lesbian?

(19:21):
That's not Why are they all named Kristin is my
big thing. Number One. I'm gonna get to the meat
and potatoes of this video. Caine. You missed that though.
They're all named Kristin, and they're all old white lesbians
except for that Kristen, and she is an older black woman.
They're all literally named Kristin, like all of them.

Speaker 5 (19:39):
I don't even know how to explain that.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
It reminded me of that episode of Shorsey. If you
haven't seen it, it's hysterical. It's a Canadian it's very
blue humor. It's a Canadian series what your mom said, Yeah, yeah, yeah, Seguette,
but it has this it's a guy he does Letterkenny too, right,
so he does shorsy and it's one of the funniest

(20:03):
shows I've ever seen in my life. But you've got
to like that humor. But it is one of the
funniest things I've ever seen. And it's this guy. You know,
he's going up what is it, a Triple A hockey league,
like somewhere up in Saskatoon or something like that. Anyway,
they uh recruit these and one of them apparently is
a real hockey There are a lot of real hockey

(20:23):
players in it, but this guy is like apparently a brawler.
And there's these three dudes in their all name Jim
and I'd play part of the show, but they'll cite
us on YouTube. So they're all named Jim. And you know,
you got Shorsy, who's the title, you know, the star
of the show, who's trying to figure out how they're

(20:44):
gonna make that work on the hockey team. He's like,
so what you know if I call Jim, all three
of you can't get up, and they all want to
be called Jim because it's their first name, and it
just gave me such a suresy feel, like, why in
the world are you They're all Christian, so what happens
you're at the fire department Kristin. It was like a
million lives and you can't even go lesbian Kristen. You
can't even do that because they're all lesbians too. You

(21:05):
can't even go old lesbian Kristen because they're all old
lesbians name Kristin. The only thing you can do is
go the black lesbian Kristen. But that might not work
very well in Los Angeles, right. I don't think you're
supposed to do things like that. But they're all named Kristin.
How else do you literally all of them are Kristen?
All of them? I mean, to make it even worse,

(21:26):
you can't even go the old blonde lesbian Kristen because
they're all old blonde lesbians. Name Kristen all of them.
I'm not making this up, literally all of them can.
I know you said, what?

Speaker 10 (21:40):
How?

Speaker 3 (21:40):
What if that's very diverse? Is it diverse? If they're
all old white lesbians.

Speaker 5 (21:46):
I think we should just go with middle initials.

Speaker 3 (21:48):
See you have Kristin Crowley. She's the first, she's the
fire chief, and they're very They're like, she's the gosh, God,
it's Friday. How many of you are really listening today, everybody?
She's the first. Kane, she's the first. Oh my gosh,
she's the first. That she is an alphabet fire chief.

(22:11):
I'm totally fine with that, But why are all of
you named Kristen? She went to Harvard Business School. Her
apparently mission in life is to the creation of systemic
equity and inclusion. I don't even know what the hell
that means. Then you got Kristin Kempner. She's the chief
assistant chief of the fire department Harvard Kennedy School for
managing diverse organizations. WTF that means her greatest achievement was

(22:36):
she got accused of domestic of violence because she whooped
on her girlfriend. Then you have Kristin Larsen. She's the
first lesbian equity bureau. So that's the black lesbian. She's
also I don't know, she got her job because everybody's racist,
that's why she got her job. And then oh, and
then you got also a lesbian. But her name's not Kristin.
The lone exception, Jamie, her big thing, her claim to

(23:02):
fameous She's not named Kristin. So you got Kristin, Kristen, Kristin,
and Jamie, the three Kristens and Jamie Kristen.

Speaker 5 (23:13):
Unable to carry a human male out of a not.

Speaker 3 (23:15):
A damn one of these women could carry a dude.
So back to the video, The hell does that mean?
Like she's shaming people for getting caught in fires? Like
how are you drowning? You should be drowning in the
first place? Like what the hell kind of hell video
is this?

Speaker 5 (23:31):
How is it not victim blaming? How is that not
victim blaming?

Speaker 3 (23:35):
Should have got raped in the first place? You're somewhere
you shouldn't be. If you're getting raped, Yeah, you're somewhere
you shouldn't be. If you're drowning, you're somewhere you shouldn't be,
if you got hit or by another automobile, right, I
mean it's like someone's like, I think I'm going to
go into that fire over there. That's not what happened.
What kind of video is this? I love how she
thought she was being super clever. Now how she like

(23:56):
paused for a beat. This is so Hollywood pause for
she's a fire thing, a little fire psa. But she's like,
you know, I if I'm there carrying your husband out
of your house, Uh, he got himself in the wrong place. Yeah,
he must be in purgatory if you're carrying him out
of the house, because no way on God's green earth
in this real escape? Could you do that, Jamie?

Speaker 6 (24:17):
Or no?

Speaker 3 (24:17):
Wait, she's Kristin. That's right. What are the odds though?

Speaker 11 (24:25):
Right?

Speaker 3 (24:27):
Like, who's who's handling hr? Over there?

Speaker 5 (24:29):
Is the Kristen a book of lesbian names.

Speaker 3 (24:32):
That's like when you're playing Uno and you have all
green and you really need the color to be green,
so you're encouraging everyone to make the color green Is
that why they're all named Kristen because the fire chief
is Kristen And she's like, I need some Christens, need
a whole crew of Kristen's over here, the Kristen crew.
Jimminy Well, I could go on about this forever. Not

(24:52):
a single tame one of them apparently can do. I
think all the like, the people who are actually out
there fight fighting fires are the ones, you know, make
doing everything, and the people who are making the calls
are the problem. Kind of like a d D, right,
same same situation, like a d D. You know, these
these people are the problems. They're the problems. It's a

(25:13):
wild I don't know. I mean for her to say that, well,
he shouldn't got himself in the fire in the first place.
Who says something like that, she's and then when she
was going on in the video, uh, you know, yeah,
it's you know, what if people that look like you
rescuing you from a fire? What do you You caught
that part, right, you caught that part where she's talking

(25:36):
about being rescued and how how it must be nice
for people who are in fires to be rescued by
people who look like them, as opposed to what like
a dolphin coming up and rescuing you out of the fire,
as opposed to what a two headed martian as opposed to.

Speaker 5 (25:51):
What by the way, anybody, I don't want.

Speaker 3 (25:53):
Anybody that looks like me coming because coming to get
me out of fire, because they couldn't lift my ass up.
I'm aw I lie a little bit. I'm like, ah,
I lie on my height and I try to make
myself sound bigger than I am. I'm like, no, I'm
really five eight and I weigh one hundred and forty five. Yeah,
that sounds good. It's not real. It's fake news. I mean,

(26:16):
I don't want anybody that. My friend Dave Bird says
he doesn't want anybody that looks like him because he's
an old, fat drunk coming and rescuing him from the fire.
He's not fat and he's not a drunk. He's old.

Speaker 5 (26:27):
We we're missing the point that everybody, every firefighter, would
come into a fire completely in gear, helmet, face thing
the whole night. No one's looking like anybody.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
I don't know. This is dude, dude, dude, this is
Los Angeles. Their uniforms might say like, I'm an old
white lesbian or I'm a you know, a black lesbian,
or I am just black, not a lesbian. So I
am less on the on the lower on the totem pole.

Speaker 6 (26:49):
Wo.

Speaker 3 (26:50):
They probably can't even say totem pole out there. I'm
lower on the ladder than the the other people with
more identity boxes checked. It's a long tag.

Speaker 5 (26:59):
Man mental illness aside. No one looks like is that
mental illness?

Speaker 3 (27:05):
Or do they just have too much damn free time
on their hands?

Speaker 5 (27:08):
I think it's too much free time that led to mental.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
People are sitting around making up problems.

Speaker 5 (27:13):
Mental illness, Like when you're burning.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
To death in a fire, do you care if it's
a wide or black lesbian or lesbian at all?

Speaker 5 (27:19):
People without mental illness don't think so.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
I mean, oh man, it's taken everything I have right
now to not go full George Carlin, it's crazy. Oh lord,
put a hand over my mouth. It's taking everything I have.

Speaker 5 (27:35):
No one's looking like you when they're coming.

Speaker 3 (27:37):
Like you're dying to death in a fire, right, do
you care if it's a that shows up?

Speaker 5 (27:43):
I almost had the button done. Did anyone to hear that?

Speaker 3 (27:45):
No?

Speaker 5 (27:46):
They did, did you?

Speaker 3 (27:48):
I'm just saying, does it matter? Nobody cares. I'm going
to be grabbing onto anybody.

Speaker 5 (27:53):
If I am burning Martians, Yes, if I'm burning.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
Burnt lesbians, I don't care. I don't hold on to you.
Give me out.

Speaker 5 (28:00):
If I'm burning and an alligator walks by and offers
the tail.

Speaker 3 (28:03):
I'm grabbing that out and would take it.

Speaker 5 (28:05):
I would take it.

Speaker 3 (28:06):
If Bigfoot came in and was like.

Speaker 5 (28:09):
Yes, get me out, even little foot.

Speaker 3 (28:12):
Yeah, or little foot, I mean, give me another cryptid,
any cryptid. I don't care, you know. I mean, if
Joe Biden came by, I'd accept the help. If I'm
dying in a fire, you know what I mean, Like
nobody cares. Why is that such a big thing with
the left? Like someone would go, I was gonna allow
myself to be rescued out this fire, but then I
saw that you don't check enough identity politic boxes for me,

(28:35):
So no thanks, I'm gonna burn to death. Just snuggle
on into the flames, you know.

Speaker 5 (28:39):
Like that hence my diagnosis of mental illness.

Speaker 3 (28:43):
Or they have way too much free time. Some of
them I think are mentally ill. Some of them I
think are bored. Right, They're bored, Like what else would
these women be doing right now landscaping, like what else
they're bored. I just I don't know, man, all of them.
I am. I have never been more fascinated with an

(29:03):
aspect of a story than this. And I cannot tell you,
by the way, and this is the funniest part of it.
So there, you know, we got a lot of a
big coalition that listens to the show, and we have
a lot of people who you might say are in
the alphabet community unwillingly, they don't like the labels, and
they're conservative. They just want to, you know, not be
taxed to death, and they want to be left to

(29:24):
hell alone, don't we all? It's the new American dream.
And I actually had conservative leaning lesbians right in and
go is this first off? I had two different listeners
who are of that persuasion who said, yeah, there are
a lot of lesbians named Kristen. I have never heard
this in my life. And I about died reading the email.

(29:45):
I just I died. I did die, and I came
back to life. It was hysterical. And then some were saying,
it's what you were saying, that's just the mental illness
out in California. I doubt that they were even born
with that name, so that it's like half and half
the community. It's one of the most fascinating things I've
ever I'm just dying laughing over it. I mean I shouldn't.

(30:06):
But if there is any kind of, you know, lightness
to the story at all, maybe it's that. But also
it's all it's bad because this is apparently what they
focused on. Look, the right doesn't want to sit here.
I mean some of them do, but we all don't
want to sit here, and you know, and dice up
everybody's little identity politic box. I don't care. It's the

(30:28):
people in these groups that are trying to make you care. No,
we don't care. In fact, Caana and I were raised
in a generation where you were raised to not GAF,
and you were encouraged to not GAF, and in fact,
you were told in multiple PSAs to stop giving a GAF.
And so guess what, we don't care. Leave us alone.
When you stop leaving us alone, that's the moment that

(30:50):
you cross the line and you make us care, but
otherwise leave us alone. But this is like it has
to like that's like listed on someone's resume as though
it's an achievement. Well, I worked really hard and decided
to like Vagina like I you know, well, how does
that It's not an they listed on a resume like
it's an achievement. It's like they want to other themselves

(31:11):
so bad. And I am floored because that's not at
all how you know we that's not how society was
when we were coming up.

Speaker 5 (31:19):
Also, not how society was was our emergency people saying
things like, oh, well, if I'm having to come and
help you in an emergency, you just found.

Speaker 3 (31:29):
Yourself in the wrong Yeah, you're in the wrong place. Well, dah, bitch,
I'm in a fire, like it's not a right place
to be at, just saying I just I am, Oh
my gosh. And then Lorraine adds more fuel to the
fire she goes, now, you know, the Christians are also

(31:50):
all paramedics as well.

Speaker 5 (31:52):
Oh wait, is Kristine going to be the new Karen?

Speaker 3 (31:57):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (31:57):
There's a lot of Christians and they certainly only.

Speaker 3 (31:59):
Know one Kristen. In my life. I don't only know
one Kristen. She's not a lesbian, But I don't know.
It's just a fascinating thing to me. I don't know,
But I wouldn't want that woman to carry me out.
I don't care. I don't think she she don't have
the money. If someone said, an actual firefighter told me,
when it comes to blazes like this, upper body strength matters.

(32:22):
Upper body strength is the difference. And they said, that's
why it's really difficult for women. And that's a great perspective.
It's an actual firefighter who works in California, up northern
California who emailed that in I thought it was a
great point, and that's true. I mean, look, in my mind,
I like to pretend that I'm like super hardcore. Maybe

(32:43):
I don't know, maybe, but I'm I'm a buck twenty.
I lie all the time and I'm like, no, I'm
five seven, five eight and five to six. But this
doesn't leave us. This is our private discussion, right and
I try to inflate how large I am and see if,
like you guys don't know if I can just I
just sit here and I shrug down and I wear
a baggy sweater. I could be you is don't know.

(33:05):
But I know my limitations physically as well. I know
what I can lift. I know you know what my
limit is, and you can't just bend those rules or
suspend them altogether because you want to promote a false
sense of inclusiveness. And it is a false sense of
inclusiveness because it doesn't it's not it does, it's not

(33:26):
about the mission. This is mission creep stuff. For our
partners that will bring you the program, it's tax Network USA.

Speaker 5 (35:00):
The Alar Glance. So are the days of the United States? Hey, senator?

Speaker 8 (35:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (35:07):
Can we ask you what you hope to get out
of your visit to mar A Lago that I.

Speaker 5 (35:10):
Talk to Donald Trump?

Speaker 12 (35:11):
What are we talking about here? Is there some news?

Speaker 6 (35:15):
There's some news we hear that you're going to be
heading down to mar A Lago.

Speaker 12 (35:18):
Yeah, I've heard that. Yes, I've heard that. Yeah, well yeah,
I demand that I need to be made Pope of Greenland.

Speaker 5 (35:28):
Are you do.

Speaker 8 (35:29):
You have the resume to be pope.

Speaker 12 (35:30):
Having a conversation like he's the president. It's going to
be so you know, I am not the senator for
just Democrats in Pennsylvania. I'm everyone senator in Pennsylvania.

Speaker 3 (35:42):
The Pope of Greenland. I still I understand that they've
got lots of natural resources. I'm still like, no, can
we just focus on what we voted on first? Please?
And then when we accomplish that and we can talk
about I'm not talking about expanding government right now. But
he is having is it lunch your dinner? He's going
to mar A Lago to dine with Trump. And the
left does not know what to do because remember the

(36:04):
left made it like, oh, he had a stroke, so
you can't criticize him on anything. Ever, well, now that
he's bucking them, what are they going to do? Oh
my gosh, we can't criticize him because he had a stroke.
Why did we do that? Second hour on the way,
the latest on the fires movement in DC? So much
more stick with us. But if I have to go
into a gun free zone, I don't want to necessarily,
but sometimes for my job I have to. I have

(36:26):
friends who live in d C. And New York, and
they all of them got there very difficult to get
license to carry. But half the places where they live
and work, you know, you can't carry in there. It's crazy.
I have a friend who's apartment in Manhattan. They live
outside in Westchester, but they live and work, they work
in Manhattan, them and their wife. They can't even bring
guns into their apartment buildings. So they can't even have

(36:46):
their firearm in their apartment building in Manhattan, and then
they can't drive it because of their stupid laws all
the way to where they live out in Westchester. This
is a problem. These people don't want to be made
they don't want to be made into victims by these
stupid laws and result they have decided to diversify. They
keep their guns, but when they got to go to
certain places, they have the Burner gun. In fact, they
went out and got the Berna SD that's the most

(37:08):
popular model. Five round capacity, a lot more than your
average one to two round stunt gun, and it shoots
out chemical irritant projectiles that can stop threats from up
to fifty feet away. Now they've got different models, they
have different projectiles, different accessories. But I think it's wise
to have diverse options for self defense in those instances
where the state or property owner wants to disarm you

(37:29):
and there's no there's no no waiting period, no background check,
none of that. Burna SD does not care about stupid
gun for his own science, and they'll you can get
They'll send it right to your door. The only place
where you can get this a ten percent discount is
where I'm about to tell you, burna dot com slash data.
That's the only place to get ten percent off your
whole purchase. V y r Ina. Burna dot com slash
data to get ten percent off.

Speaker 13 (37:52):
What we know right now is that the incident occurred
started here and about twenty minutes three minutes.

Speaker 3 (37:58):
Later, as was detained.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
Over Woolen Hill's area by citizens.

Speaker 3 (38:04):
So someone purposely set the candeth fire at this time.

Speaker 5 (38:07):
That's what we believed.

Speaker 3 (38:08):
Yes, do you know how or why they did that?

Speaker 8 (38:11):
Out?

Speaker 4 (38:11):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (38:13):
Is this a crime scene right now? He's being loosed off.
It's being good. Yes, it's being investigated as a crime. Wow, unbelievable. Yes,
it's been a great investigator. It's you know, there were
a lot of questions about that there were a lot
of questions about, uh, whether or not there was arson
that was involved in this, and everybody was the media

(38:34):
and the left was so quick to climate change climate change.
Is that a new name? Maybe that's all the arson is,
you know how like all the fire people in la
or name are gay Lesbian's name Kristin. Maybe all the
arsenists are named climate change cli for sure, you know.
Could be Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you.
We are at the top of this second hour. There's

(38:55):
ice and snow on the ground. And I'm forever wearing
turtlenecks on the show. Someone asked me in an email,
how many of those do you actually own? An ungodly number.
I buy something in black, and I'll buy the same
thing three times, and I cause I don't like to
think about what I wear. I am very like Steve
Jobs Mark Zuckerberg about that stuff. If I could just
wear the same thing every day, I would. It's less
less energy that you have to exert over that. But

(39:18):
it's cold. It's cold and houses in Texas. Building structures
in Texas are designed to let the heat out, not
keep it in. So it is the code in Texas
so you're lucky that I'm not wearing a scarf and
osaka at too all the same time with mittens. Guys
are lucky anyway, So welcome Dane lash with you. Find

(39:43):
us a YouTube and Facebook like and subscribe, and you
can also find us over at substack, chapter and verse,
the news leta and this whole. I was listening to
some of the stat for this, and you know with
the arsenist, because there's now two arsenists that have been arrested,

(40:05):
I think maybe potentially three. Listen to this extent of
the damage. So this is just the Palisades fire. There's
several different fires. Audio sound bite thirty. Listen to how
bad this fire.

Speaker 14 (40:17):
Is Palisades Fires. This fire was currently tracked at twenty thousand,
four hundred and thirty eight acres with three thousand and
seventy three personnel assigned. CRUs worked very very hard overnight
strengthening our containment lines and addressing multiple spot fires in

(40:37):
and around the Tapanga Canyon area. Resources responded to the
area included our air assets to aid in the containment efforts.
Due to the favorable overnight weather conditions and the diligent
and I'll focus on the diligent work and effort and
commitment of our first responders, we can report that the
Palisades fire is now eight percent contained. When gusts are

(41:01):
expected to increase in daylight hours that will test our
containment lines, our firefighters will continue to respond.

Speaker 3 (41:07):
So they're saying that it orched over twenty thousand acres,
so it's like basically larger than Manhattan. The Manhattan is
fourteen six hundred acres. This is over twenty But they
said in this play this audio soundby I know this
is brand new. This is from LAPD. This is about

(41:28):
one of the arsonists that they caught, specifically that had
the blow torch. We had some of that video for you.
Listen to what LAPD says here.

Speaker 13 (41:37):
They responded, they interviewed this suspect. After the interview and
additional investigative steps, looking at some additional evidence that was present,
they made the determination that there was not enough probable
cause to rest this person on arson or suspicion of arson,
and therefore this person was arrested on a faulty probation violation.

Speaker 3 (41:58):
If you caught him in the apt though, and the
video shows that he's literally there with a blowtorch trying
to set stuff on fire. It was like one of
those ring camera things. How is that not probable cause?
Right enough by itself? There, kine, how is that not
It's plenty.

Speaker 5 (42:17):
But they're gonna do. What they're gonna do is they're
gonna say, well, we got to you know, got to
do this investigation. Then they'll gather that video evidence and
then they'll go over it and then they'll change your
story later. But this is that they do pr wise
every single time.

Speaker 3 (42:31):
This is also goofy. You don't have enough. There's not enough.
We don't have enough probable cause to charge them. I mean, yeah,
you know, we got him with a literally on camera
trying to set stuff on fire with a blow torch,
Like literally he had a blow torch and was setting
stuff on fire, and he got caught by a ton
of passerby.

Speaker 5 (42:49):
I wonder how long it's going to be.

Speaker 3 (42:51):
Five people that watched him set things on fire, Five
people who don't even know each other, who saw him
independently try to set something on fire, and that's why
they all intervened and took him down. But they don't
have enough probable cause for that charge, so they just
got him on felony probation and his name isn't out

(43:11):
there really. Oh, I want to know these people's names.
Oh yeah, I want to know their names. If I
knew if somebody was a firebug, if I was, I
would just put their name out there as law enforcement,
because man, oh man, you would watch a community come
together to hunt somebody down real quick. I mean, no,
it's not illegal to carry a blow torch at all.

(43:33):
It is illegal to take the blow torch you're carrying
and try to set stuff on fire and alleyways. That's illegal.
And that's what five people saw him do and they
told this to police. So I don't know what that
you know, Can you make a good point? Bring up
the point you just put.

Speaker 4 (43:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (43:49):
I just wonder how long it'll take before they start
demonizing the people that actually caught him.

Speaker 3 (43:54):
Yeah. Yeah, I wonder if he did it alone.

Speaker 5 (43:58):
Well I think it was by himself off at the
time it happened, But whether or not he did everything
alone is a good question.

Speaker 3 (44:05):
I'm just that was weird to me that that was
treated that way. It's just weird, right, I mean, yet,
that's because people were saying we watched him literally set
with his blow torch on fire. And I'm all about
due diligence and due process. I'm all about those things.
But when you see someone use their blowtorch just set

(44:27):
it on fire, You're not just in possession of a blowtorch,
You're you're literally using it to set fires. It's arson.
So I don't know this is all it's the I mean,
it's just I don't know the way in which they're
still running things out there. I worry for the people
who are going to have to rebuild. How long that's

(44:48):
going to take to get that done, how long it's
going to take for that to happen, because you have
to think of the insurance nightmare that's out there too.
That's a huge nightmare, you know what I'm going to
tell you to set He was at mar Lago with
a bunch of Republican governors. This was Sunday evening, and
then the video of this is just coming out and

(45:08):
the reporters. It wasn't all just friendlies because Trump just
lets reporters come in. He doesas not like Biden. He
doesn't want it. He doesn't he don't terrify the media
and audio. Somebody thirteen DeSantis just busted their ass in this.
This was epic. Listen to this.

Speaker 15 (45:27):
As a molect or a president, to be critical appropriate
for people in your industry, to try to create division
and to try to create narratives anytime these things happen.

Speaker 11 (45:38):
Now you're not as interested in doing that because Newsom
is a d If Newsom was a Republican, you guys
would go try that. You would have to nailed to
the wall for what they're doing over there. And I
know that we just assume in Florida, anytime something happens,
it's going to be politicized by the media. So you
guys sitting in judgment of Donald Trump, I mean, excuse me,

(45:59):
I think track record of politicizing these things is very,
very bad. Okay, last question.

Speaker 3 (46:04):
Yeah, he would nail him to a wall. That is
such a great response. You could tell it he got
ticked off because they kept asking they were the questions
that they were asking, uh, and the excuses that they
seem to be intimating for Newsome, and it made him mad.
I watched like a long clip of it. That's the
important part that we got, but you could see he's

(46:27):
just getting mad or and matter standing over there like uh, huh.
I ain't even he's best when he's allowed to be himself.
He's because he's really good at handling the media. Here's
another example. This was This is audio somen By fourteen.
It's a little longer. This is a master class and
answering a question while neutralizing a phishing expedition for sensational headlines.

(46:52):
This reporter wanted a narrative. You got to Santis. There
you had Matt Gates who left his congression. I'm not
a Gates fan, and I've made that very clear. Nothing personal.
This is just I just I think that he has
no idea about tactics or strategy, and I've never seen
anyone so politically timed f in my life. That being said,
he left his elected seat, and then he's saying that

(47:13):
he's thinking about running for governor DeSantis turns out in
twenty seven he would be up against Byron Donald's and
a whole bunch of other people, which you know, and
the press immediately wants to use it. They were trying
to find some kind of division, right the press. What
did I say on Jesse Waters earlier this week, and
what did I say the other day that the media
wants to find any kind of crack, any kind of division.

(47:34):
If they have to play to people's egos or played
to tribalism, they will do that. So they were trying
to see if they could get DeSantis to I guess
like stand against Trump over Gates or something. I don't
know what they were looking for, but this was a
masterclass in how to handle the media. Audio some by fourteen.

Speaker 16 (47:52):
Just a reaction to mad Dates mulling a gubernatorial bit.

Speaker 15 (47:56):
I don't really have a reaction to it.

Speaker 11 (47:58):
I mean, it's it's so far away for that race
to happen, you know. I think my thing is is
I had to do a special election to fill that
seat because he resigned from the seat. I wish we
had full strength in the House to help the President
get his agenda done. That's where the fight is right now, Florida. Yeah,
the fight was in eighteen here when we were at
a crossroads. If you look now at the results across

(48:20):
the state, the left is lined and ruins. The Democratic
Party is on the mat. So we've got it handled here.
I think the people need to be up there fighting
for President Trump and to deliver on his mandate, and
so any congressman should be wanting to go up there
and do that, and we expect all our Florida congressmen
to actually deliver on these promises.

Speaker 15 (48:42):
You and President Trump spoken about the possibility of U.
Stor being as Secretary of Defense.

Speaker 4 (48:48):
We speak frequently.

Speaker 11 (48:49):
We haven't really gotten into any particulars on anything. I
think we're looking forward to being able to be helpful
in any way we can. Clearly, as governor, I think
we'll have a better future these next couple of years
than we've had the last four. Our success in Florida
has been in spite of the Biden administration, not because
of it.

Speaker 3 (49:08):
Now, So I think that's absolutely great answers. He just
just neutralized because they were on a fishing expedition. They
wanted a sensational headline. They wanted to be able to say, oh,
DeSantis goes against whatever Trump favorite Gates or something like that.
I don't know if Gates has a shot in hell
at by the way, winning even the nomination for governor's

(49:29):
office in Florida. I mean, he's he got his seat
because his dad's been in office for a long time.
It's a family that's been an elective office. It's kind
of dynastic down there, and I'm immediately I'm just allergic
to that kind of stuff. I just just have visceral
reactions to any kind of dynastic anything. I'm so such
an American, I can't help it. But he gave the

(49:51):
great answers like I wish we had full strength, And
he's right, he's right. He made a really great point
on a number of different and just you know, smack
your ass and then neutralize their argument. This is great.
That's that's how you handle the press. We have more
on the way, including this unconditional discharge, this goofy case.

(50:12):
They just want to be able to say felon and
a couple of things. Colorado. They're trying to push a gunban,
another gun band. We've got that. We got a whole
bunch of stuff as we move. Our partners who help
bring you the program. It's our friends at ready Wise.
Ready Wise is always ready even if you aren't. And
I'm telling you, out of a lot of the companies
out there that make claims, ready Wise, really is it.

(50:34):
I mean, they are really good good survival food. Survival
food doesn't have to taste horrible, it doesn't have to
be low quality, either and ready Wise is neither of

Ye Ah, the TikTok band going to Scotis and uh,
it's they're battling for survival TikTok in the United States
as the decision over its fate is now underway. I
don't know. I just I don't know why people are

(52:11):
defending it so much. It doesn't help any have politicians
who are like, yeah, we gotta get rid of TikTok,
and then they're like, TikTok's great, I'm not on it.
I just I just don't have time. And also I
can only watch pep so many videos of people looking

if you guys saw this. Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corrina
Machado was reportedly kidnapped by Maduro in Venezuela, you know,

(52:55):
because they have free elections and all that good stuff
there right in Venezuela is and then how works. There's
a couple of different reports of how it happened, but
she was apparently reportedly freed after she was violently intercepted
as how it was described, and having she left her
hide out to protests Majuro. So that's you know, if

(53:17):
you want to know where free and fair elections don't happen,
it's there. Novak Djokovic said he was poisoned by lead
in his food after he was detained over COVID during
the Australian Open. He had refused to get the experimental injection,
and he said he was poisoned by food that he
ate while he was detained during that twenty twenty two

(53:39):
whole thing. He was in a Melbourne hotel and they said,
he goes, I was fed some food that poisoned me,
and he monitors his diet pretty strictly. It's like a
thing that he's actually pretty famous for. GQ did a
whole piece on it once. So he said that he
had flu like symptoms and he had an emergency medical
team treat him when he got back to Europe. But

(53:59):
he said it was led. Somebody poison him. That's good night.

takeoff at a snow covered Atlanta airport because it's been

local time. They told passengers to duck down and evacuate
after the planet accelerated to take off. They said it

Speaker 3 (56:22):
Welcome back to the program. Dana last with you at
the bottom of this second hour, and we're following everything
with the fires and everything else, and it's I mean
it's the arsen now as well, because that's the other thing.
Now they're saying that they've arrested a couple of people
for arson so far, which you knew that some of

(56:43):
this was going to be arson. You just knew it
was going to be. One of the guys was even
I'm looking at this finding this video. One of the
guys was even caught on video. And I mean, you
have a blow torch and you're using it to light
stuff on fire. It's kind of a big deal. The
time in New York the President faced sentencing in this

(57:04):
this stupid I can't even I hate this stupid story
because it's such a fraud. The whole thing is so dumb.
It's the that Stormy Daniels hush hush money case. Lorraine's
written about it quite a bit over its substack and
the decision. It's a weird one. So the judge had

(57:26):
imposed a jail sentence, and under New York state law,
because they were the lowest level of felony, jail sentences
are not mandatory. They wanted to just be able to
say he was a felon. So remember this is the
case where he paid money to Stormy Daniels, and I

(57:48):
don't care how Look, there's two things that are happening here. Yes,
I understand the people who are arguing about the morality
of it. Okay, that's a separate thing. Set that on
one side, and then this, then I'm going to talk about.
You can say on the other side, regardless of how
you want to look at it on paper, it's a
business arrangement. That's just the way it does.

Speaker 1 (58:08):
You.

Speaker 3 (58:10):
There's certain things with regards to morality that are not
actionable in the way that Alvin Bragg wants to make
them actionable. And so Trump had already said that he
had given Stormy Daniel's money. He came out about that
and had said that the way that they had logged
it in their financial record keeping, that's what New York

(58:31):
State wanted to go after. They were saying that it
was a bookkeeping error. Regardless, it's your money, you should
be able to do whatever the hell you want. So
at its core, I reject this whole story. I don't
even like talking about it because I think it's stupid.
You are making a huge issue out of a non issue.
So they were saying, well, it's a bookkeeping error, and

(58:52):
you should have, you know, stipulated such xyz. At the most.
At the most you could maybe, I really don't think
you could, but you could make the argument that it
was a misdemeanor in the manner by by not following,
you know, precise New York law with regards to keeping

(59:14):
records pertaining to this whole thing. You could you could
maybe make that argument. But that's not what Alvin Bragg did.
He went beyond that. He was trying to say that
there was an additional crime that they would not articulate
in any of the charging documents, an additional crime that

(59:35):
they weren't actually going to bring a charge for that.
They weren't even going to instruct the jury to fully
consider an additional crime. That makes this, for the sake
of argument, expired misdemeanor. It elevates it to where they
can charge it as a felony, and they barely made

(59:56):
it an E level felony charge, which was the lowest level.
So he was never we're going to be up for
jail time because the jail sentence by New York law
with an E level felony is not a mandatory sentence,
and so the judge had to consider the fines and
the charges for that. So what Judge Merchon did was
give Trump what they call a no penalty sentence, and

(01:00:19):
they call it an unconditional discharge. So there's no jail time,
there's no probation, there are no fines, but it goes
on his record. They just wanted to be able to
say that he was a felon. They I mean pun
intended trumped up a charge to say that he's a felon.
This is let me put this in a different context,

(01:00:41):
because they were trying to make this out to be
an NDA. I've signed NDA's. NDA's are commonplace. The people
who were talking about how sketchy it is to have
in DA's have never been in an important enough position
to have to sign one. Yes, that is to be mean,
because I see these people all over social media throwing
their weight around, going oh well, Indy know, literally, if
you've never had to sign an NDA, you've never had

(01:01:03):
to work at a place that was considered like high
risk or anything like that. For whatever reason, it's in
fact low risk. But regular everyday businesses have people signed
in das. It's par for the course. It is not
an unusual exceptional circumstance. Literally everybody signs das. I signed
DAS to work with people I work with, the people

(01:01:24):
who work with me sign in DA's. It's literally boilerplate.
So that argument that oh Trump had her sign an
NDA and all this stuff that's like sketch, that's actual commonplace.
So does that mean you took hush money because you
signed an NDA and you get paid for signing an NDA.
I have literally entered contract negotiations that have an NDA

(01:01:45):
that goes along with just the negotiation. And I have
literally told people that my silence costs. So if you
want me to sign an DA you got to pay.
I have literally told people that at the negotiating table
because it's a non starter for me. And that's not
taking hush money. That's a business arrangement. So that's why

(01:02:06):
this is so stupid. So it would be like you say,
you get a job at some company, I don't know,
pick a pick a a vocation, and you go through,
you know, you sign your paperwork to work for the
contry the company, you sign your contract and you sign
your NDA and you get you know, like a signing bonus.

(01:02:28):
Is that hush money? I mean, that's if you were
trumping in New York they were, they would say that
it's hush money, and that because you didn't write hush
money in the ledger, that that's somehow a misdemeanor, although
it's past, it's beyond the statute of limitations, so it's
kind of mood. But what they'll argue is that, well,
you probably didn't report it correctly because you were hiding

(01:02:51):
something else. Now we're not going to tell you what
that something else is. We're not even going to bother
mentioning it in the charging docs. And when we instruct
the jury to make what during deliberation, we're going to
tell them to just bypass whatever they think. It is,
just it exists, and we're just you have to have
it exist so we can elevate this to a felony.
That's what happened here. Imagine you having to go through that.

(01:03:13):
That's why this is so stupid. I don't even like
talking about this dumb story because it is literally a
straw man argument that they just they trumped up so
that they could call him a felon. That's the only
reason it's the dumbest. Now, there are other cases where
you could look. You can sit here and be like, well,
you shouldn't have done anything with Storm. You can have
that argument all day long. I'm not telling you you're
wrong or telling you not to have it. But what's

(01:03:34):
stupid is them weaponizing the justice system to go after
him for that. That's how dumb this is. This is lawfair.
This isn't justice. This is lawfair. Masker reading is justice
and justice for what who's heard in this? That's the
other thing. It's so stupid. I don't even like talking
about it. Kane's like, do you want to do? You know?
I'm like, I get so mad talking about it because

(01:03:56):
it pisses me off because it's a non story. It
is a stupid, fabricated law fair situation that you're expected
to take seriously by the legacy press. I don't take
it seriously. I think it's a joke. It makes a
mockery of our justice system. I feel stupid for even
talking about it on air because it's such a dumb
witch hunt story. Of all the things to get mad

(01:04:19):
at Trump about, this is not one of them. It's not.
It legitimately isn't, and I will. I have no qualms
in pissing off everybody criticizing someone's precious lawmaker over X
Y or Z. I have zero issue. This is one
of the dumbest things I've ever had to talk about
in my entire professional career. It's a stupid story. It's

(01:04:42):
hard to even explain because there's no legal basis. That's
why it's so weird. Never before has anything like this
been done in New York. Never before has anything been
cobbled together like this in the justice system. They fabricated
so they could get a conviction and say, felon. That's

(01:05:03):
why it's so weird to talk about, because I've had
listeners go, well, what was the other thing that elevated it.
I would love to know. I'm sure the jury would too.
So it's so dumb about all of it. Kay knows.
I get ticked off anytime the story comes up because
it's stupid.

Speaker 5 (01:05:18):
I heard Ady McCarthy saying that they were trying to
make the underlying crime the twenty sixteen election that they're
claiming Trump stole over.

Speaker 3 (01:05:30):
They're saying that he The argument is that the reason
that he paid Stormy Daniels, according to the prosecutor, is
that he was it was election interference. He was trying
to help his own campaign by keeping the Stormy Daniel's
stuff out of the news, and so that's why. And
they're arguing that that's election interference. Did they argue that

(01:05:50):
with John Edwards because some of that money actually came
from assets in New York when Bunny Melly Bunny Mellen
was given him cash. Did they argue that with John Edwards?
Did they argue that with Anthony Wiener? Did they argue
it with Bill Clinton? I mean, do you want me
to sit here and run down the list of all
these Democrats who made their side pieces sign like NDA's

(01:06:12):
or I mean, we can sit here and do it
The reason it wasn't done with them is because, first off,
there was no legal foundation for that to that case
to even be built. Number one. Number two, they didn't
do it because those people were Democrats. Look, I get it.
There are things I criticized Trump about, you guys know,
I'm very forthright about it. This is not one of them.
And so when I see people that I've always thought

(01:06:34):
previously were smart pretending that this is a big deal,
I've just I lose respect for them because this is
a stupid story. There's so many other things to talk about,
and this is a headline today. This is a stupid headline.
You have people burning to death in California and these
jackasses in New York with this stupid, fabricated witch hunt.

(01:06:54):
This is what they're pushing today. It's so dumb, just
so they can say, oh, he's a felon, he can't
own a gun, he's a felon. He's not even gonna
be able to really travel, he's a felon. Well, he's
got diplomatic immunity as an elected official. So that's a
stupid you know, But still there's some considerations here for
what no penalty, no probation, no jail time, and they

(01:07:18):
didn't even actually articulate the underlying crime that elevated this
to the lowest level classy felony in the state of
New York. Now, of course he's going to appeal the sentencing.
He'd be a moron to not appeal the sentencing. Think
about it. There are some left leaning prosecutors in New York,
more left leaning than Alvin Bragg that did not want
to touch this case. And it's not because it's it's

(01:07:42):
not because they're they're weaker as communists. It's because they're
smarter legal strategists. They know at some point, and it's
going to take time, but at some point this is
going to get overturned. You you just this is only
happen This only happens in New York. Outside of New York,
this falls apart because you don't have the partisan pettiness
as the framework to keep it all together. It's only

(01:08:06):
in New York. So there for the people who are asking,
that's why I don't talk about it, because I get
mad and it's stupid. It makes it makes me hate
the justice system more than I already do. It makes
me hate government agencies more than I already do. And
I'm trying to be you know, we're we're not even
a first week in the new year. I'm trying to
be lighthearted for everybody. I don't want to talk about

(01:08:27):
this stupid story. It's so dumb. Imagine and this is
with somebody who has, you know, all of the name
recognition and everything else. Imagine what they're doing to average
everyday people. Look at Dexter Taylor, an innocent black man
who's sitting in jail because he's black. I've never said
anything like that before. That's true in this case. He
is a gun owner and he's a conservative, and they

(01:08:49):
went after him because he is a black gun owner
and a black conservative, and that is dangerous to their narrative.
Because the Left does not want minorities to leave the party,
they have to be Democrats. I've talked about this for years.
Democrats think they have a patent on you. If you're
a woman, if you're a gay man, if you're a lesbian,

(01:09:10):
if you're a Hispanic, if you're black, if you're Asian.
They think that that is a tool of political exploitation.
And you're not allowed to leave the Democrat Party if
you're in any one of those things, and if you do,
then it's a betrayal so badly. It's a betrayal so
bad that they'll throw the full force of their lawfare
at you, like they did with Dexter Taylor and with Trump.

(01:09:32):
Imagine a young woman facing an unplanned pregnancy, feeling alone
and unsure of what to do, and she's searching for hope,
and that's where Preborn Ministries comes in. You can make
a difference. For just twenty eight dollars. Your generosity can
be the key to a mother choosing life for her baby,
and with your gift, you will receive the story of
a mom who chose life, as well as the ultrasound

(01:09:55):
Kelsey who found preborn and after hearing her baby's heartbeat,
she chose life, consider making a larger, life changing donation
of five, ten or fifteen thousand dollars. Maximize your gift
that can help women in unplanned pregnancies receive ultrasounds and
even help place an ultrasound machine in a women's center.
Donate for the gift of life just style pound two

(01:10:16):

Speaker 5 (01:10:34):
It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida man.

Speaker 3 (01:10:43):
So I have two. This is crazy. So in this
shoplifting scheme, I had a listener that sent this to
me and they got my attention by going uh oh
d lash clean up on Isle Brown. It's from the
Miami Herald and there's also a story from Box thirteen.
They got the uh uh CCTV footage. Deputies are searching

(01:11:05):
for a couple that are accused of stealing five hundred
dollars of items from a dollar store. The suspect, the
woman intentionally defecated on the store's floor as a way
to distract while the man she was with began to
steal everything. Paul County Deputies are investigating. They said that

(01:11:27):
Miss Dookie is on the run after a messy burglary
at the Mulberry Family dollar store. So they walked in,
He walked around the store gathered five hundred dollars worth
of products like gain Tide Clorox. And while he was
getting that, the woman distracted everybody by doucing on the floor.
Oh and an employee had to clean up the mess

(01:11:49):
she made. It's a pooh and run I and they're
they're literally how do you not find them? How do
you I mean, go into a dollar you okay, something
is wrong with you. I feel like, okay, here's my
idea on how to steal from family Dollar. I'm gonna

(01:12:10):
go and poop on the floor and you can just
grab everything, throw in a basket and let's run.

Speaker 5 (01:12:15):
Yeah, that question, that whole last part would have worked
fine without the first part. Well, that whole needing to
poop on the floor isn't a need.

Speaker 3 (01:12:24):
But how do you Okay, how much time do we
have here? I don't like public restrooms. I hate them.
I'll explode before I have to use them. It's a thing.
It might be TMI, but my question is, how does
a woman how do you just do that like that
in public? Like theatrically you just like deuice on the
floor like that. I know it's part of your shoplifting scheme,

(01:12:46):
but how do you get to the point where you're like, Okay,
I'm saving it up. I'm gonna go in dookie on
the floor.

Speaker 5 (01:12:50):
The family dollar seems like you have to plan your
eating twelve plus hours in advance.

Speaker 3 (01:12:55):
Like that has to be time. That's like, that's that
has to be timed out. I don't know. That's Oh gosh.
A Florida man went on a smash and grab at
a Saint Pete Public's. Oh well, at least he didn't
duchy in the floor. He went on a string of
smash and grab burglaries Corey Kendrick eleven vehicles, stealing the

(01:13:17):
items inside. They think he's responsible for other thefts and
that more charges could be coming. But apparently he did
not care about any of the videos, as he's just
on camera running through smashing everything like full view. Great
CCT footage of him and a Florida man suffered severe
injury while selling fireworks illegally. He was selling them out
of literally off the side of the road in a

(01:13:37):
U haul van, and he blew off two of his fingers.
Stick with us kel Tech longtime friend of the show.
I'm a huge fan of what Keltech does. I'm a
huge fan of their firearms. Everything's built right here in
the USAA in Florida. They have got a great story,
great all American story, and as we head into the
later part of January, this is all this about the
same time every year that Keltuk unveils the new things

(01:13:59):
that they've been working on. This year is not going
to be any kind of exception for that. George Kelgren,
who's the president, founder, designer, mad Scientist, he's actually one
of the few major firearms designers still alive today leading
the way in innovation. You know, they invented the microcompact
pistol category. They came out last year with the lightest
Thinness double stack nine millimeter on the market, that's the

(01:14:19):
P fifteen. Everything they do is quality, made right here
in America. They got the fold and half carbine, the
sub two ks the whole family, that whole line. They
have the KSG shotguns, the RDB Bullpup series, and they
stand behind everything that they make. Now they're going to
be dropping some new product later this month. Albeit shot
show broadcasting live for that industry event, So there's going

(01:14:42):
to be some new product and we'll talk all about
it when it happens. You can visit Celtech Weapons dot

Speaker 10 (01:15:00):
Wild are We just start seeing all these cars pull up,
doors open, groups of men running up our street, going
up to the doors of these houses, and we weren't
sure what was going on. I'm thinking, are these people
here to help my neighbors? I hope so, and I
left and then my husband talked to the police and said,
what are those guys doing. These guys don't live here,

(01:15:21):
get them out. My next door neighbors said his quote,
there were like one hundred people that came up on
scooters and were trying to get into any and all
houses on the.

Speaker 3 (01:15:31):
Street, looting. The looting has begun, and I the DA
down there now he took he ended up beating the
uh source back. DA was saying, Look, we're going to
prosecute everybody. We're gonna go after everybody. Know what he's
going to be. If you're doing this stuff, We're coming
to get you. So good on them for uh, you know,

(01:15:57):
laying that out, because like previously, I mean, when people
would loose stores, they weren't doing a single thing. This
is just it's man, it's bad. I like the basically
the size of Manhattan has burned more than Manhattan was.
What fourteen six hundred acres over twenty thousand has burned.
That's just the Palisades fire. Welcome back to the program,

(01:16:18):
Dana Lash with you. We are at the top of
this third hour this Friday, and you've got this audio
sound bite four. Biden was remarking on this. This has
to do with the debris and some of the cleanup
recovery efforts. Listen to this.

Speaker 17 (01:16:35):
This morning, due to the magnitude of disaster, I was
talking with the governor. He requested if I could increase
the federal funding that was authorized under this legislation for
from seventy five percent to ninety percent. We're increasing it
to one hundred percent of all the costs to be
covered by the federal government for both the fire management

(01:16:57):
assistants grants and the elements of what they call a
disaster declaration. So today I'm announcing that the federal government
will cover one hundred percent of the cost for one
hundred and eighty days.

Speaker 3 (01:17:10):
So that's he's covering one hundred percent of recovery costs
for six months. They gave all of the people in
Appalachia who were dealing with the effects of Hurricane Helene.
They they got to check out of all their motels.
Was it January oh, tomorrow tonight? At midnight, they said,

(01:17:33):
FEMA said, due to the incoming winter storm, we're extending
our transitional sheltering program for just twenty four hours to
households schedule to check out if you still need assistance.
So that's like about thirty five hundred families in that area,
like okay, go.

Speaker 1 (01:17:46):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:17:48):
They said that FEMA tried to evict these hurricane victims
hours before the storm went through. They've there have been
people on the ground there who have been taking videos
of these people working at these shelters and they said,
it's wild, it's wild, like they've they they had, they have,
these people have nowhere to go. It's over three thousand families,

(01:18:09):
thirty five hundred and they were told Okay, that's it,
that's it, that's all we're going to do for you.
Now you got to go and told to get out.
That's just so that's amazing. How I am without words
but that's what they're telling everybody. No, no, no, you
got to go. You've got to go. So Los Angeles

(01:18:30):
they get one hundred percent covered.

Speaker 1 (01:18:33):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:18:33):
They were giving them money in North Carolina, but they
had to pay it back, right, isn't that how it went?
They were they would get money, but then they would
they had they had to pay all of it.

Speaker 5 (01:18:42):
Back, and they had to pay their full property taxes.

Speaker 3 (01:18:45):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 5 (01:18:46):
Property tax was washed away?

Speaker 3 (01:18:48):
Was that last week or week before?

Speaker 5 (01:18:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:18:50):
Last week, unbelievable. I know that was right before Christmas.
They had to pay all their property tax like that
Friday before we were off air. That was the deadline
they had to pay property taxes. They said that they
had no catastrophic events that fall into exclusion and so
they had to pay property taxes based on assessments that

(01:19:10):
are now inapplicable.

Speaker 5 (01:19:12):
So officials in California, clearly, through neglect and inept activity,
have ruined what's going on in California, costing the locals
a lot of money. But now they're asking the federal
government for more money as well, and we're just going
to hand it over to them. To the tune of
one hundred percent. When this was mismanagement. The Haleen thing
in North Carolina had nothing to do with mismanagement. That

(01:19:33):
was absolutely natural disaster.

Speaker 3 (01:19:35):
Although I will say the response was mismanaged because it's Democrat.

Speaker 5 (01:19:38):
Wrong without rigidly mismanaged.

Speaker 3 (01:19:41):
But you're right because in California, in fact.

Speaker 5 (01:19:44):
Their mismanagement in Los Angeles.

Speaker 3 (01:19:46):
Let me let me pull up, forgive me. I have
a million tabs open here. I even know how my
computer functions. Quite honestly, you don't see the tabs that
have opened. If you're opposed to all the tabs, then
you would be having a stroke right now. The Karen
Bass because I think it came out just last week

(01:20:07):
that she had asked for further cuts they were going
through with. They were already going through the twenty four
to twenty five fiscal year with a forty eight point
eight million dollar budget reduction, and one week before these fires,
she called for an additional forty nine million dollars in cuts,

(01:20:30):
and that would have shut down sixteen fire stations. Now
keep in mind this is after col water fire and
water all of that. The state agency said that this.
They said this back in fall in I think in
September and October actually, according to my notes, they were

(01:20:52):
warning people all the way back in August because they
had two years of record rain, so they had all
of this that contributed to a lot of vegetation overgrowth.
And then of course, you know typically it starts getting
really dry going into December January, that dries up, you know,
everything turns brown again, and then the Santa Ana winds
start and then you just have the perfect recipe for

(01:21:13):
a massive firestorm. Not only were they stopping efforts to
clear out underbrush, but literally a week before the fires,
after months of being warned that they were going to
actually be in a prime wildfire season and that every
element of the perfect storm exists for a major wildfire,

(01:21:35):
she was demanding an additional forty nine million dollars in
cuts to the fire department, and that would have completely closed,
completely closed sixteen different fire stations. Oh my gosh, So
I had she gotten those. I mean, it's already bad.

(01:21:59):
They're all right, They've already had firemen say that they
don't have enough firemen. They've already had them say that.
I can't even imagine. I just like, how else they
wouldn't have been able to survive. Now, in addition, to
that this is the Los Angeles Times hold up and

(01:22:22):
then pulled this up. They came out and said they
had this big story this morning. Pacific Palisades Reservoir was
not only empty when the firest firestorm exploded, but it
was also offline. It's the Santa Ynez Reservoir. Now you
actually can see the reservoir when you fly into LA.

(01:22:43):
When you fly into LA, depending on the flight path,
and I've flown over it, you can see it. It's
up in the Santa Ninaz mountains and it's actually sometimes
the pilot will pointed out for you it's totally empty,
completely totally empty. They did They let all of the

(01:23:04):
run off that they had from the two years of
record brain just go right back into the ocean. They
didn't do anything to cap They did nothing, and then
they emptied this reservoir what was left of it. Here's
my question, how do these people sit here and go, Yes,
climate change, it's such an existential threat. Also, we're not
going to do anything too. We're going to keep the
reservoirs empty. We're going to make sure that our hydrants

(01:23:27):
don't work. I mean, the bottom line is they don't
have the infrastructure California doesn't have the infrastructure to deal
with it, and it's not an uncommon occurrence for California.
You have the winds that were really crazy and that
contributed to it, but you know the other factor that
contributed to it was the horrific land management. There are
more stories. I would sit here the rest of the

(01:23:47):
hour and I could just recount all of these different
stories that span a three year period where they are
warning California officials, whether it's LA Times, whether it's San Francisco,
whether it's low Media there or KTLA. They did all
of these reports where they were saying that, you know,
you have officials and people who are into fire science
and land management that are warning that these steps need

(01:24:09):
to be taken in order to you know, do as
much as possible to quote unquote fireproof areas or to
make it to where any kind of wildfire could at
least be contained. And the other problem that they have
in California is their developments. Everything is so dense. The
developments are so dense, the houses are right on top
of each other. But what's more than newer builds have

(01:24:30):
to go along with new regulations which require like concrete
walls like literal firewalls. There was an architect who was
tweeting about his properties. None of his properties burnt. This architect,
and he builds like exclusively in southern California, and he
was saying that none of his properties burnt. But he

(01:24:50):
also had pretty what's the word I'm thinking of the
land He had like no greenery in his landscaping. So
the landscape being this architect, and it was all like
really modern looking houses. It was stones, it was materials
that actually are kind of flame retardant, concrete, brick, stone,

(01:25:11):
things like that. And then anything that had to be
wood because one of the problems with California is that
wood is more absorbent when you have shifts in the earth.
So it's a lot harder for structures that are stone, concrete,
and brick to withstand, you know, major earthquakes. And so
that's why a lot of the frames, a lot of
the stuff is wood out there. But what his firm
did was they reinforced all of that with like concrete,

(01:25:35):
with like certain paneling, a bunch of I don't All
I know is that they use materials that are not
receptive to flame. And none of his properties were burnt.
And he had a picture of one of his houses
in the Pacific Palisades where everybody else on either side,
front and back were burnt down to the ground. But
they but they didn't have like the lush garden greenery

(01:25:55):
that you have come to associate with that area. And
they think that that saved them. And they also think
that having that big concrete, you know, firewall literally between
that property and the properties next to them saved it,
which then brings up I know, it's really expensive, especially
in California for existing properties to like if you're retrofitting stuff,

(01:26:18):
you know, if you're going out and you're trying to
make things more flame retardant because newer construction has to
go by newer regulation, but a lot of the existing
structures there are old and it's very expensive to or
pre the new regulations that I think went into effect
in like what twenty one, twenty two, and so it's
really hard for it it's expensive to do that. So

(01:26:38):
what's the solution. What do you do? I mean, if
you're not going to have the federal government that's going
to properly manage federal lands, and you're not going to
have the state to properly manage state lands, and you're
emptying reservoirs and you're making it to where you don't
have enough water supply, what the hell else? You know
what in the world, it almost doesn't even matter what
you do. They got lucky that architect was like, the

(01:27:02):
only reason it didn't burn is because the two concrete
firewalls on either side. That's the only reason. They're like,
that's how crazy this fire is. And there's only so
much individual homeowners can do. When the state and the
federal government are not being a cooperative partner, what else
do you have? You know, I'm not even I don't
even want to know what the insurance nightmare is going

(01:27:22):
to be like for these people, because think about it.
If you're an insurance company, can you cite, well, the
federal government didn't do this so we don't have to pay,
or the state didn't clear it out. Look at all
these warnings, like I just told you all of the
stuff that's in the media, that's all evidence that insurance
companies can use to say, oh, well, the state didn't
do it, so that's like a class action lawsuit against

(01:27:43):
the state. Wouldn't there be a class action lawsuit against
the federal government if they're not properly managing federal lands,
and you know that it's absolutely instrumental in creating these fires.
I mean, I'm made of questions right now. As this
gets going, we may have to have on like insurance
experts that specifically deal with this type of stuff, because
I don't know what recourse they're going to have. It's
going to be a mess.

Speaker 7 (01:28:03):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 3 (01:28:09):
All right, So I David Mrror, I don't like him,
I don't like anybody, but they did you guys see this.
So he was wearing this what was it a fireman's
jacket that had the ABC.

Speaker 5 (01:28:23):
Local It's like the raincoat that emergency people wear.

Speaker 3 (01:28:26):
And he had it pinned in the back. Now did
he have it pinned in the back because he was
trying to look fit or did he have it pinned
in the back so it wouldn't blow around and make noise?
I don't know. I you know what, I feel like
we should give them as much benefit of the doubt
as they give us. That's my rule. By the way,
sidebar David Mrror and George Stephanopolis hate each other, hate

(01:28:48):
each other. You think that you have seen like interplace
like inter workplace drama with like chicks before. Apparently what's
going on between your and Stuphanopolis is like out of control.
It is the worst workplace drama ever. Just some fun
gossip for you. They're both when each other fired. A
pizza chain expansion was their plans to expand was thwarted

(01:29:10):
by the city council because the town's kids are too fat.
The city council is like, we got all our kids
are too fat. We got too many fat kids here.
It's in Manchester. The pizza chain wanted to expand and
they said no, it's in Britain. They said no, all
children are too chonky, and they said that they are

(01:29:34):
not allowed to explain it would and it would not
do any justice. They said it adds nothing to the
food and drink offering of the town and so they
were not gonna they nixed it. Imagine that because parents
don't monitor where our kids eat, this business can expand.
Luigim Mangioni's case was hit by DeLay's prosecutors reveal when

(01:29:54):
he's gonna next. I don't care about this guy. They're
trying to make him out to be some kind of
folk hero. It's disturbing. Ooh, I was reading about this
earlier today. So a lot of these muscle building protein
powders apparently have lead in them. They're in organic and
chocolate flavored products. They said that there's lead and whatever
the hell else this caddy memium is. I don't know, yeah,

(01:30:16):
whatever that does. It tastes good, I don't know. Yeah,
But they said that there's stuff and well, so what
are the brands? I don't know. They're not going to
actually tell you right out right, you're going to do
sleuthe it. But some of them when they said organic
and chocolate, I got some ideas. Stick with us. We've
got more in store.

delivered in short, easy to digest episodes ideal for your

Speaker 16 (01:30:48):
One important topic I want to talk about is that
we did have a drone incursion yesterday at the Palisades Fire.
Unknown exactly what time this small drone hit the wing
of our cl four fifteen Super Scooper aircraft that we
currently have on contract from the Province of Quebec. The

(01:31:09):
pilots were unaware that they hit the drone. It wasn't
until they landed at Vaney's airport that they that the
maintenance staff noticed that there was a fist sized hole
in the leading edge of the wing inboard of the
landing light. That Super Scooper will be prioritized for repair

(01:31:29):
twenty four to seven. It should be flying Monday. We
only have two of them.

Speaker 3 (01:31:34):
You know, I'm listening to everything that he's saying, and
I am so distracted by the sign language guy. All
the sign language interpreters, they've got to be theater kids.
I mean, he's a good one. I mean, I don't
even if you just like turned off what the guy
was saying and I was watching him, I'm like something
Scoop and sad mad rain and what that is? Don't know.

(01:31:55):
He's writing and flying and what what is that miss
hands and sign language together. I mean, I feel like
I'm watching like Rent Part two. I don't know. He's
so expressive and he spit his tongue at like that
at one point he just you know, and that and

(01:32:15):
the reindeer came down and he's so expressive his face.
I love. I used to know, like I know the
alphabet in sign language, and I only know a couple
of things in sign language. But it actually makes me
want to learn sign language because that would be so
fun to just really get in, you know, like especially
if you go to like concerts and you do the
sign language at concerts. Okay, anyway, let me get away.

(01:32:39):
He was just really distracting. This guy. He's really good
at his job. He's like, this is his best moment
right now. So, uh, what they're telling you is that
some jackwagon flew a drone up and it hit one
of their water their water support. They only had two
of them. Is it two of them or three?

Speaker 5 (01:32:55):
That's all they have is two two And it.

Speaker 3 (01:32:58):
Was on loan from. Uh, I'm trying to think what
province a Canadian province it was. Was it British Columbia
was on loan from a Canadian province and they had
some jackwagons like, well, I'm going to keep my drone out.
I'm gonna go fly my drone take some drone image
of the fire. And he clipped the wing of this thing.

(01:33:21):
I hope that drone was destroyed. They said they're gonna
find out who whose drone it was, because now they
had to take it out of the air. They had
to take the one of the one of the two
water support that we don't even have. First off, how
the hell do you not have that, California? How do
you have to get it from Canada? What do you
do with all your tax money? What do you do
with it? It can't all be for Gavin Newsom's hair

(01:33:45):
gel jiminy So, I I don't know, I'm I'm amazed
at this, but they said that you know, it's you know, sorry,
we uh you know, you got to take it out
of the air. Gotta take it out of the air,
and so uh, you know tough, we're not gonna we're
gonna be short one super Scoopers what they call them

(01:34:05):
Super Scooper aircraft and the drone. Don't you have to
register your well, if it's a certain size, don't you
have to register the flight path and all that stuff?
Is that true? I know you get to register the
drone no matter what size, like if it's if it's
like a smallish size and up right, and some of

(01:34:27):
the drones you have to have a pilot's license to
op or. I'm just curious. Why are they having to
contract stuff out from Canada though? Why do you not
have that? Oh my gosh. They spent billions up on
billions of dollars over two decades for a high speed
rail from La to San Francisco that legit never got built.
The company was a French company that was gonna come

(01:34:49):
over and do it, and they were gonna have it
done in like three years, and they said that there
was so much corruption and so much pigs, so many
pigs at the trough that they just said, screw it.
They left and they went over to a new in Africa,
and they did it in three years, had their high
speed rail very similar to what they wanted in La done.
In the meantime, all they got was sixteen hundred feet
of an unusable rail overpass built. That's it. That's it.

Speaker 5 (01:35:14):
That's it.

Speaker 3 (01:35:17):
Over twelve billion dollars to build it. Sixteen hundred feet
that's it. I ran that in track when I was
in high school. Sixteen hundred well meters not feet. But
so somebody thought they were going to take their drone. No,
they they heard up that hurt the point. I just
so goofy people. Stop it. Nobody cares about your stupid

(01:35:39):
drone footage. There's enough footage out there. No one needs
your I got to hurry up and provide footage to
the tens of people that followed me on social media.
Oh my gosh, Oh that was my neighbor. I'd be
in jail. Who you talk about this sign language guy
again real quick, because he's happy. He makes me happy,
Like I'm hearing this stuff and I want to get
real mad at the stuff that the fire chief is
telling us. And then I see this sign, this like

(01:36:01):
Bradley Cooper looking dude who's like all very expressive. He's
so expressive. There's so much joy in this guy's face.
He's like, I'm giving you bad news with a whoop,
and that is bad and matt and it's so great.

Speaker 5 (01:36:16):
I've heard a.

Speaker 3 (01:36:18):
Bad sign language, bad sign language. I could do that.
I could totally do it. Look, he's so expressive. I
would rather much rather pay attention to what he's telling
me than what the fire chief there's telling me, because
he's boring. That guy making faces, spit in his tongue
out that it's great, Like he's disgusted by this story clearly,

(01:36:40):
So I love it. That guy's that guy's the real
MVP right there. It is wild And then you've got
Gavin Newso begging Joe Biden to dispel wild fire disinformation.
Check this out. This is new, this is new coming

(01:37:01):
in and this was just earlier today. Gavin Newsome in
a video call with the Vice President and President for
the next like a week in a week or so,
he wants to prioritize dispelling wildfire misinformation. Listen to those
I ask you, We've.

Speaker 18 (01:37:19):
Got to deal with this misinformation. There were hurricane force
wins of miss and disinformation lies. People want to divide
this country, then we're going to have to address that
as well. And it breaks my heart as people are
suffering and struggling, that we're up against those hurricane force
forces as well. And that's just a point of personal

(01:37:41):
privilege that I share that with you because it infects
real people that are out there, people I meet every
single day, people the mayor has been meeting with, and
they're having conversations that are not the typical conversations you'd
have at this time, and you wonder where this stuff
comes from, and it's very damaging as well. But we're
here get the job done.

Speaker 3 (01:38:02):
Yeah, I mean, why don't you just fight the fires,
you jackwagon.

Speaker 5 (01:38:09):
They were concerned about the theories on how it started
as opposed to fighting the actual fires.

Speaker 3 (01:38:14):
Fight the fires first, good grief, Fight the fires first.
You know what gets me. When they held their press conference,
LAPD was saying, there's no probable cause for the for arson.
Regarding the guy who is arrested, he was arrested in
possession of a blowtrch. But what they're not telling you
is that there were five witnesses that were independent of
each other, and they were the ones that apprehended him

(01:38:35):
because they caught him using the blow torch to literally
try to set fire on things. And now all of
a sudden, California is acting like it's very concerned about
due process. Well, you know, just because you have a
just because you have a blowtorch in your possession, doesn't
mean you're setting fires. But when people catch you using
the blowtorch to set fires, yeah you got probable cause.

(01:38:58):
They're so they're pretending to care about you process. California
the state the first state in the nation to enact
red flag law. Remember how I warned you a lack
of due process was dangerous. Okay that now they're going
in full reverse. Oh no, we got to be careful
with due process just because you know, he has a blowtorch.

(01:39:19):
Except that's not how they treat anything else. They have
red flag law, which would just assume that you were
guilty because red flag law. Let's let's put it this way.
Say the guy wasn't caught trying to actually set fire
to something. Red flag law applied in this situation. Again,
remove the variable of a firearm, substitute a blowtorch. They
could say, well, five people said that he's dangerous, we're

(01:39:40):
gonna have to come take his property and basically render
a penalty against him. We'll have to go clear his
name in a quart of law after the penalty was rendered.
Now you see, but they're pretending to care about due process,
which is amazing. Another quick note, so different topic. So
John Cornyn's office sent to us. Was it yesterday afternoon?

(01:40:01):
Came They sent us an email saying that Cornyn is
introducing a bill for concealed carry reciprocity nationally. We're like, oh,
this is interesting because he worked to pass Joe Biden's
gun control compromise. So, okay, what's this about? So we

(01:40:22):
asked him to come on air with us next week
about it, and would they say, Kane, they're just too busy.

Speaker 5 (01:40:29):
I'll quote it here. It said, next week is slammed
with nomine hearings in the Senate and his schedule is
jam packed, being on five committees. So because of that,
we'll have to connect Dana and him a little later.

Speaker 3 (01:40:43):
So or their idea was me just talk to him,
not even on air, which I have no interest in doing. Right, So,
he's just too busy. I'm just curious I'd like to
talk about So.

Speaker 5 (01:40:55):
I followed up and said I'd be very flexible in
timing next week and I'll be in touch.

Speaker 3 (01:41:00):
What is if only there was a way that you
could join even you know, like video on your like
your mobile device. It would be great if there was
like a way to do that.

Speaker 5 (01:41:12):
Yeah, I think that happen.

Speaker 3 (01:41:13):
You know, just a couple of minutes because everybody does
interviews all day long up there on the rotunda. Or
even just if you if there was a great mobile
device that you could even if it was just audio only, that's.

Speaker 5 (01:41:25):
Yeah, they've had those for a while, I think.

Speaker 3 (01:41:27):
Yeah, have they Maybe they don't. Maybe his office is
unaware of them.

Speaker 5 (01:41:31):
They were tied to cords till about the late eighties, yeah,
early nineties, and now they're wireless.

Speaker 3 (01:41:37):
I mean, well, maybe they just don't have it in
DC yet. I mean, I'm willing to extend the benefit
of the doubt, you know, am I just saying, so,
we'll we'll keep you up to date on that, because
I would like to talk to him about that, that proposal,
that's one of the things that Trump said that you know,
I'm just curious. I'd like to have a conversation about it.
So let's we'll keep an eye on that and let

(01:41:58):
you know if he still continue to be too busy.
Usually that's how we have lawmakers that always reach out
to us that they want to promote a book, if
they want to promote whatever. And I'm really weird about
what lawmakers that if a lawmaker will never wants to
come on to talk about voter criticism of anything that
they've supported, or if they never want to answer difficult questions,

(01:42:22):
but then they want to come on to promote their books,
I don't let them on. I'm like, if you can't
come on when we need you to come on to
answer to voters. Don't think that we're going to have
you on to sit here and sell something for you
or promote something for you. Happy to give you in
the names of the lawmakers that do that on the regular,
because we got a list, and we have a.

Speaker 5 (01:42:38):
List of ones that actually their main focus is to
communicate with the American people.

Speaker 3 (01:42:43):
We have something joy.

Speaker 5 (01:42:44):
And the chip Roys and the Thomas Massey's. They love
coming on because they love communicating with their consruction.

Speaker 3 (01:42:49):
And sometimes when they have to reschedule, they can almost
be tmi about it, like oh, or they're sick. It's
coming out of both ends. It's so bad. And we're like, okay,
I didn't need to know all that, that's great. You
just say that they're sick. I understand. You want to
make sure that it looks like you're not ditching us.
We get it. Some of them are really really great
with communication, but other other ones, like we've got some
that are like, uh, oh, we got a book out,

(01:43:10):
or we have an editorial that we want you to share,
or this or that, but we don't want to come
on to talk because Heaven forbid, you might actually ask
us the tough question. They're really well and so we're
we match that energy and we're weird back. So uh,

Speaker 3 (01:43:56):
Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash here with you,
and this is we're rolling into Friday, rolling into the weekend.
I said a conclusion of our first hour before break.
I thought in my head I said third hour, but
I didn't. I mean, I'm some of the stuff that
comes out. Listen to this audio, somebody twenty four. This

(01:44:18):
is one of the This is a democratic representative trying
to trying to defend why the hydrants were basically empty.

Speaker 19 (01:44:24):
Listen, I had a briefing yesterday when I was with
the FEMA administrator, and there is enough water but what
there was.

Speaker 3 (01:44:36):
Was a.

Speaker 19 (01:44:38):
Problem that occurred right at the height of the fire,
which is that they had to turn down the electricity
in order to make sure that the fire wasn't aggravated
because of the electricity. They need electricity in order to
pump water, so they turned that down. And then at

(01:45:00):
the same time, there were so many hydrants that were
being used all at once.

Speaker 3 (01:45:07):
So you see, because all the hydrants are being used
at once, that you couldn't get all the water to
those hydrants all at the same time. So see, it's
an issue of people all using the hydrants to put
out the fire with water, not an issue of water.
So she's trying to argue that's the dumbest thing. That's dumb.
Stop it. We're not idiotes. These people think you're stupid.
They think you're absolutely and moron. And then they had

(01:45:34):
another little brush fire that broke out at some point,
like I said, it's Arson. Well we know at least
a couple of them. Arson, Do I have time for
one more thing? I don't think so, because we're rolling
toward towards days today in's stupidity here. I can't believe
this first New Year week back, I mean, it's not
even the first full week yet we've had fires and

(01:45:54):
all kinds of nonsense like and it wasn't it wasn't
even burn, loot, murder. What in the world. It was
just democrats? Okay, the same thing. All right, today's stupidity king.

Speaker 5 (01:46:03):
All right, this is out in LA. The Los Angeles
Police Department, believe it or not, caught these five citizens.
Caught an arsonist in the act. And yet this is
what they had to say, one, go ahead and play
this for us, William.

Speaker 13 (01:46:24):
An additional investigative step. But they responded, they interviewed this suspect. Okay,
After the interview and additional investigative steps, looking at some
additional evidence that was present, they made a determination that
there was not enough probable cause to arrest this person
arson or suspicion of arson.

Speaker 5 (01:46:42):
Suspicion of arts.

Speaker 3 (01:46:43):
They only pretend to care about due process except for
red flag laws. That's about. That's as dumb as the guy.
This guy who showed up a hot dog vendor to
provide hot dogs and snacks for free to firefighters who
were fighting the fires. He showed up just started distributing
them for free. Somebody snitched on him, to the health department,
and they rolled up to harass him while the neighborhood's

(01:47:04):
burned because he wasn't licensed to sell food. He wasn't
selling it, he was giving it away. Morons, We got folks.
