(00:01):
Regarding this fitness for office of thepresident. Americans have been speaking out about
the president's mental acuity and the doublestandards within his Justice Department. On Thursday,
as you know, the Special Councilconfirmed that President Biden mishandled classified materials
in a way that presented serious riskto national security. He broke the law,

(00:22):
but he's not going to be charged. Why is that Well, Special
Council said that it decided not toindict the President in part because there are
significant limitations on his memory and ajury wouldn't convict him because he would be
presented as quote, an elderly manwith a poor memory that did not inspire
confidence among the American people. It'sof great concern to us. Ultimately they're

(00:45):
indicting. Remember now, the DOJis indicting one president with politically motivated charges,
and they are now carrying the waterfor another amid very similar allegations.
A man too incapable of being heldaccount double from mishandling classified information is certainly
unfit for the Oval Office and everyonein this room. If you just ask

(01:07):
yourself that question, you will cometo the same conclusion. So a lot
of stuff happening. We got thethey're actually going to have an on time
press briefing. Is that correct?It's actually going to be on time here
at some point because usually it's supposedto be in the afternoon when we're on
air, and then it's like kindof been like whatever time they feel like
it. So welcome to the show, Dana, last year with you.
You can listen coast to coast.Make sure you send it for that newsletter

(01:30):
because a lot of stuff goes out, especially when it's like really crazy busy,
like you know, you got youhave the Mayorkists impeachment, although whether
or not anything happens from that remainsto be seen because it's it's I mean,
you have the Senate, you knowwhat I mean, You're not going
to be able to get past theSenate. The Senate's not The Senate has
to prosecute it, and the Housecan kick stuff over, but without being

(01:53):
able to have that support in theSenate, I mean, I hate to
tell you, but it's just reallynot going to go anywhere. But they
did it though, and now Democratscan have that on their conscience, and
we're going to dive into all ofthat. We also have the election in
New York that special election for GeorgeSantos's seat. Maybe the New York Republicans
should have spent time not arguing withTexas voters about Congressional District twenty six.

(02:19):
Maybe they should have, I don'tknow, paid attention to their seat in
New York and they would have kepttheir asks instead of trying to buy a
seat into the twenty six congressional districtfor one of their Nepo baby friends.
Just saying, just saying, youknow, I mean I called it or
not right, I mean, goodgrief. So we got a lot to
hit. But that was That wasMike Johnson, Speaker Johnson yesterday, and
that was after a pretty that wasa pretty historic the vote yesterday. I

(02:43):
think that was the I mean it'syou know, finally it happened. But
it was a long time coming,the impeachment of New yorkis and so these
House Republicans, I mean, theyfinally finally did the right thing. And
it's not going to like I said, it's not going to lead to his
removal though, it's not going tolead to his removal. But I do
think that it is it's good thatRepublicans did it. I mean, you've

(03:06):
got such a super thin majority inthe House, and I do think it
is too Johnson's credit that he wasable to shepherd this through. Now,
you know, you you the trialsheld in the Senate, but now people
are trying to there's I was lookingat this piece and May pulled this up
to you. This is what Iwas reading this morning. This is from
CBS, and it said the Houseimpeach Leandro Majorkis. But then they're getting

(03:28):
into some of the rules that thereare some of the tricks that they're trying
to play in the Senate so thatthey can just dismiss the charges entirely.
Now they're saying, obviously, youknow, the vote doesn't remove him from
office, since impeachment is just thefirst step. But they said, now
it hands to the Senate, andit heads to the Senate, and they
have the soul. They have solecontrol over this, and so they have

(03:49):
the they get to make the ultimatedetermination. And so whether or not this,
you know, it happens like that, well, I mean, well
it remains to be seen. Butstill, you know, it's pretty big.
Uh. It's good that it's goodthat they did it. I feel
like voters needed something, you knowwhat, I mean, I feel like
voters deserved something, especially after themess that we've seen at the border,

(04:10):
and that was you know, obviouslythis him not being able to do his
job was one of the reasons.Why. So the Senate rules. This
is what they're saying, the Senate, and this is what Democrats are trying
to do. They're well, they'resaying that the rules once the chamber gets
the because the House votes and thenand then they send over the articles of
impeachment and then the Senate goes fromthere on the articles of impeachment. And
they're saying that when the House getsafter the House sends those, the majority

(04:33):
could vote to reinterpret the rules thatthey're supposed to follow as it pertains to
uh, the impeachment process or thetrial, et cetera. You know,
they could vote to change the rules, which I feel like that would that
would make a lot of people madif if they did something like that.

(04:53):
But they're saying that the Senate rules, you know, they they could they
could vote to they could vote tochange these rules. And then what just
dismissed them entirely. They said theyhave options to do it. They got
some options to change it. Andso that's that's what they're looking at.
So this is going to be Ithink, and Democrats should probably be careful

(05:14):
with kind of you know, refashioningcertain rules on things, because that I
don't think is going to work outtoo well for them going into an election
year. Because even Democrats see howunbelievably bad this has been. May Orcus
has been on this issue, amongstmany other things. So this is this
is this has been the latest ofit. But they said that the Democrats,

(05:38):
you know, they're just they're they'reconsidering, you know, maybe changing
some of these rules. They're consideringit. Yeah, well we're going to
talk more about that. Also,Uh, this excuse me, this New
York special election, So, likeI said, you had George Santos,
the seating George Santos got into sometrouble uh and he uh I know that

(06:00):
they're still they have criminal charges againsthim. This was the special election in
New York and basically, from whatI understand, you had kind of a
Democrat going up against a Democrat,and a lot of people are trying to
interpret these special elections that we've seen. They're trying to interpret how this is
going to play out for November nowI will say this, I think that

(06:24):
New York's GOP is kind of amess. I think it's a mess because
this was a district that and I'mlooking at some of my notes on this,
this was a district it was Ithink, what was it plus?
This district was like what plus sevenDemocrat? I think, And I think
when Santos won it, I thinkhe ended up getting I think he won

(06:45):
it by two. I think thatwas the margin that he won it by.
That he won it by two.So it's a competitive seat. It
doesn't mean necessarily that it's a solidblue seat. Yeah, he won.
Santos won the district plus two.Zelden won the district plus ten. When
he was running for governor in twentytwenty two, Democrats were overperforming and it

(07:11):
looked I mean when they ran this, they ran a candidate that a lot
of people said was essentially just aDemocrat. But it was Queens, New
York's third district and it was intwenty twenty two. It was a plus
four district. And now I mean, going by the way everybody voted,
you could say that it's a plustwenty four And it was this matsy Pillop
and Tom Suazi, who ran aDemocrat. The Republican was considered to be

(07:34):
again basically a Democrat. It waskind of like a Scozofava Part two thing.
But a lot of people are lookingat this race saying, well,
is this this race? What isthis? What is this forecast for November?
And it get you You got tobe careful with a lot of these.
We got to be careful with someof the races. You have to
look at the way that Republicans handledit. You have to look at the

(07:56):
get out the vote effort as opposedto just strictly looking at the number of
people or how people voted, etcetera. Because getting out the vote is
supremely important. And apparently New YorkRepublicans fell flat on their backsides on this,
which is kind of typical for Republicansperiod. And now it's not just
New York. I mean you haveyou know, there are a number of
special elections that have been held atthis point that Republicans have just not done

(08:18):
a singular damn thing on And theother thing that this pretend that this forecast
too, and looking at pull thisup and looking at some of the data
coming out of this district. Sothe suburban voters and they're mostly college educated
white voters, Republicans are are reallyhurting with them. You are not so

(08:41):
rich in guaranteed wins that you cangive up on a demographic, whether it's
a minority demographic, whether it's female, whatever it is. You can't just
give up on a demographic. Andlooking at this third congressional district, this
was a lot of college educated whitepeople and Republicans were hurting with them,

(09:05):
particularly these New York Republicans. Idon't know this is like the third time
this has popped up. This alsopopped up in that special election in Florida
that was a very competitive seat andthat DeSantis had won plus five and it's
like a plus fourteen district. Desanta'stook it plus five and it ended up
being flipped to a Democrat. Andthat was a special that was a congressional

(09:28):
seat in Florida, And again thecandidate was pretty weak, but that's kind
of a problem with running weak candidates. There's a lot of stuff that's playing
in here, and I think thatit's maybe enough now at this point that
Republicans seriously need to have a discussionabout how they're reaching out to people and

(09:48):
who they're reaching out to. AndI honestly think that some of it is
because some of the stuff that's comingout of the Republican Party is weird as
hell. I'm not kidding you.I read an editorial the other day talking
about how the hand signs and TaylorSwift's multimillion dollars Super Bowl box were satanic.

(10:09):
I mean, forget the fact thatyou know you got. I mean,
there's probably a lot of other thingsthat you could appointed. I think
that was just like two. There'scertain things that certain Republicans go all in
on that are so weird to meand they freak out over and then they
run away people that they need tobuild a coalition. This is what a
coalition is. You're not going tobe able to have a purity test with

(10:31):
a coalition because you're never going tobe able to convince enough people that you
need to win an elected seat tothink exactly like you do, to live
exactly like you do, to talkexactly like you do, to eat exactly
what you eat, to live exactlylike you would live. You're never going
to be able to convince people todo that. That's why you got to
focus on the eighty twenty. Peoplehave got to be smart on this.
But I think a lot of peopleare interested, honestly and rubbing their own

(10:54):
egos than they are actually building acoalition because they look at it as I
have to compromise on something, andif I'm having a compromise on something,
that means there's less of me.When it's not a compromise because you're not
giving up a principle, you're justchoosing to focus on the eighty percent that's
going to allow you to take theseat because you're not even gonna be able
to have a chance to worry aboutthe twenty percent if you can't get your
foot on the door in the eighty. And I feel like that's kind of

(11:16):
one of the things that's playing inhere, and Republicans are just not having
They're not handling this, they're notdealing with this issue, and they get
out the vote effort sucks. Itis so bad. I'm telling you those
people they needed to not worry aboutwhat Texas was doing and they needed to
have focused on this seat. Sowe're going to talk about this because this
seat flip back to Democrats. I'mnot going to dive into like New York

(11:39):
and all this. But there isI think enough to if it doesn't,
if it doesn't serve a warning,it's at least enough to beg the question,
meaning presuming the premise is truth,that the conclusion is this. I
think there's enough there. So wehave to discuss this because now a pill
up the uh she? I mean, she seemed like a strong candidate,

(12:01):
but she was moderate on a lotof stuff. Some people were saying that
she was actually a Democrat, butthis was the woman who was the Ethiopian
Israeli mother of seven and she wasa former IDEA paratrooper. But in Nasau
County was eighty percent of that district. She had a four point lead going
into this, and people are saying, oh, well, there was a
heavy snowstorm. Yeah, I don'tbelieve that because they're used to dealing with
that stuff on like this. Ithink a lot of it was get out
the vote. We're gonna like again, we're going to talk about it because

(12:24):
there's a lot to discuss with this, and Republicans got up. They got
to get they got to get withit, they really do. And our
partners over at Hillsdale College. Ifyou're unfamiliar with Hillsdale. If you're a
college kid out there is filling outyour applications, you might want to consider
Hillsdale. It's a small Christian,classical liberal arts college in southern Michigan,
but they it might be a smalllearning institution, but they are big in

(12:50):
terms of what they are able toaffect and who they are able to affect.
It's one of the only educational institutionsout there that's actually pushing and advocacy
and properly teaching people about our Americanheritage. They are so dedicated to that
they actually reject government funding, evenin the form of a student grants,
because they do not want any kindof government involvement in what they do.

(13:13):

(14:00):
And now all of the news youwould probably miss. It's time for
Dana's Quick five. So first up, prices rose more than expected in January,
and inflation isn't going away. Butwait a minute, wait, who
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoawhoa. I thought that that wasn't a
thing that we had to worry about. Itsory. Yeah, it was just

(14:20):
transitory. And I mean, I'mgoing back. I'm literally looking through my
bookmarks because I have a whole bunchof things that say Yellen. I have
a whole online bookmarking system. Iliterally have a whole thing in yelling and
I'm going through and I'm looking,oh whoah, my goodness, what is
this. In December, the firstweek of December, she was downplaying fears
of inflation or permanence. I meanliterally everything that she spoke at she was

(14:46):
downplaying this. Okay, okay,not to mention Jerome Pile talking about cutting
remember cutting rates back in December,he said he's going to do it this
year. So far, they're notable to do it. It's hot inflation
becoming a phrase because this is thefifth time I've seen this in a headline.
Dow tumbles five hundred points posts,worst day since March twenty third after
hot inflation report. I've seen hotinflation report five times. I'm not kidding

(15:09):
you. I have CNBC, Ihave Wall Street Journal, Axios. There
was another one. There's I keepseeing hot inflation report. No, but
it's true because it's bad. Imean you, I mean clearly you guys
understand. You know. Butter wentup again? Do you know that?
Right? It was like I'm nearseven dollars. I'm I promise you would.

(15:31):
I mean to you, maybe you'relike Dana twenty something. Since isn't
a lot. It is when you'reobsessing over certain things and you're watching the
prices of them. Anyway, Soyeah, stocks dropped after hotter than hotter
than expected inflation data for January.Spike treasury yields raised doubts that the fence
would be able to cut rates severaltimes this year, and that was a
key part of the bullcase for theequity market. The dall lost five hundred

(15:52):
and twenty four point sixty three points. It's one point three five percent.
It's just a hot mess. Everything'sa hot mess. Surgery rest surging,
restaurant prices also making dining out aluxury. So if you are wanting to,
like, you know a lot ofpeople talking about eating out in a
Valentine's Day, it is cheaper forpeople to eat at home instead of dining
out, unless you're actually trying tomake healthy food because the cost of like

(16:14):
whole foods, healthy foods is incrediblyexpensive. A lot groceries are up almost
I mean I think it's actually upover one point five percent year every year.
Food consumed at restaurants though it's upfive percent. You got to think
about the energy all this stuff usedto get everything there as well. The
Air Force is announced a major shakeupin what some say might be a prep
in any kind of conflict with China. This space Force has list changes listed

(16:38):
changes as well, including a future'scommand. So the US Air Force is

posted daily from the Dana show House. Republicans are still at it right
now, siding with Donald Trump,Vadimir Putin and Tron against our defense industrial

(18:29):
base, against NATO, against Ukraine, against our interest in the Indo Pacific.
See, you guys don't understand ifyou want the border to be secured,
you love us Putin saw there's twoat root and toot and Putin.
You must love him if you thinkthe borders should be secured. Man,
you love big bad lad. Thisis what they're saying. That's literally what

(18:53):
they're saying. That was what's herface? KJP the Nordstrum pipeline sidebar.
I know I've said this before,but you know how amazing that would be,
Just like you know, could say, Okay, I'm gonna come back.
Just wait disindulgence for hot second.Because that's the way we're describing everything
now. It's all hot, hotinflation report, hot inflation, hot everything.
Can you imagine like what we wouldsave. I'm just thinking, like

(19:15):
on export import tax, having likea pipeline where you could just jettison stuff
through it, like the chunnel betweenEngland and France, you know, just
jettison stuff from like Europe over hereto the United States. I'm just like
wondering, like would that take theprice downe on leather goods, Like if
you wanted to get skilled Italian artisans, Like if you're you know, you
won like a pair of loafers orsomething like that, and you want some
nice Italian leather. You know whatI'm saying, Not the stuff that's produced

(19:37):
in Preto By Chinese owned factories andillegal immigrant Chinese workers, but like actual
Italian craftsmen, you know, youcould just like chuck those through the chunnel
between Europe and the United States likea Nordstrum pipeline. I'm just wondering what
that does with the tax situation.I bet it knocks like nineteen percent off
twenty percent off the price? Yeah? Am I the only person who thinks
like this, especially right as I'mgoing to bed? No? Okay,

(20:00):
see, this is why I can'thave any more than one called that black
Rifle coffee a day because I amon eleven normally anyway, So let's get
back to this our r KJP point. Although I could spend an hour,
did she save Vladimir Putin's name?Held on? I just want to do
Wait, did you catch something?I thought I heard something? Sighting with

(20:22):
Donald Trump? Vadimir Putin? VadimirVadimir Vadimir? Where where Vadimir? What?
I don't know, eating with DonaldTrump? Vadimir? Yeah, that's
right, Vadimir Purtin. Maybe takethe rocks out of your mouth? Is
everyone drunk in that administration? JimminyChristmas? You got President Daddy Showers mcsniff's

(20:48):
kids mumble mouth, gravelly talk,and now you've got her what in the
world Vadimir Putin? So that's whatthey're pushing. I am so tight by
the look. Trump is not callingthe shots on this. You know what,
there's a real somebody you're gonna getmad at me. But there's a
really easy way to shut that up. You want to know how to do

(21:10):
it. Remind KJP that he thatTrump actually was agreeing with Democrats back in
twenty eighteen and almost granted Paul Ryan'samnesty bill. He pushed that bill ahead
of a different border bill. Ohyeah, go back and look what are
they talking about. He's not callingthe shots on this like now he supported
he was supporting like HR two andthat now. And that's fine. You

(21:30):
know, I'm all about bringing people, you know, bringing that tugboat into
shore. I'm all fine with that. But let's be real about this.
They're they're trying to like, theykeep trying to make this about Trump because
it's literally the only way that theycan try to get a leg up on
anything. They are terrified to acknowledgethat people are genuinely concerned and have legitimate

(21:51):
concerns about everything coming into the border. So that's why they want to They
want to reframe the discussion as thatwe think about this, you wanting a
stronger border and not wanting this bill. You not wanting to spend How much
was it like nineteen billion dollars orsomething that they were sending a Ukraine out

(22:11):
of this not wanting to spend morebillions of our tax dollars. Sending sixty
one billis oh wait, that's right. It was ninety five billion bill.
Sixty one billion of the ninety fivebillion was going to go to Ukraine.
The nine billion was going to Gaza. Mm hmm. You know those the
innocent terrorist government of Gaza. Wedidn't know that throwing rockets and like taking

(22:34):
paragliders and murdering people and baking babiesand ovens was bad. That's Gaza's defense.
That's that's the Gazen government's Hamasa's defense. Vote for terrorists, you're a
terrorists. So the uh yeah,nine billion was nine point one billion that
was going towards Gaza. So ifyou don't support all of that, then
you love yourself some putin I'm justdone with the I'm done with that,

(22:59):
Like we're Where are Republicans on thisstupid messaging? Where are they at on
this? You know what I woulddo? I would have. First off,
I wouldn't run for elected office.People keep going, would you go
for this position? Which you gofor someone someone? They were trying to
push it on on Twitter you shouldbe RNC chair. No, it will

(23:19):
be a blood bath, you know, like firing people speaking. Sure,
it'll be a bloodbath because I willfire. I would fire everyone. I
would regrade everybody, and I wouldstop all the floral deliveries everything. You're
lucky if you get a half ofa damned twizzler at a meeting, you
know, and that's is found insomebody's couch, So you would be lucky

(23:41):
to get that anyway. So Iwould have if I were an elected office.
First off, if I had been, you know, tortured myself enough
to run for office, If Ihad been, I would I would stage.
I would I would leak that allRepublicans are going to have like a
big, a big big press conference. Oh, we're gonna have a big
pre We're gonna be something big.I would just trick the press. The

(24:03):
press love thinking that there's gonna besome kind of drama, and I wouldn't
tell everybody. I'd keep it likekitchen cabinet small, right, like Reagan
at his kitchen cay. I'd keepa kitchen cabinet small. Only those who
need to know are gonna know.And I would like really stage the thing
too, right, you know,go in that rotunda you stage your shot.
Maybe bring in some red velvet drapes, like on a pole. You
can get them at like a JoeyannFabrics. Right, go into Joeyann's get

(24:26):
yourself a get you a pole,put them drapes up there, put some
American flags up there, and thenthe press is thinking, Wow, what's
it's gonna happen here. It's likea very fancy presser. It's happening here,
you know. Maybe have a littlesign made for the podium Republicans Speak
twenty twenty four. Put it upthere, and then we'd come out,

(24:48):
and I think I would bring outroll out a little television. You know
how when you were a kid inclass and whenever that TV on the roller
cart came out, you knew itwas gonna be a good day. I
think i'd roll one of those outtoo, and I'd play what KJP just
said, And that's how I'd startthe presser. And then my response immediately
after that would be is sheeaper high? And then I would dive into it's

(25:19):
legitimate concern at the border. Andand by the way, not wanting to
fund Ukraine doesn't mean you like Putin. That doesn't even make any sense,
Like Putin's not it's you, it'sRussia. The way that the War War
INC Talks about it, they like, Russia's this big giant, absolutely you

(25:41):
know, super powerful entity that cannotbe defeated. And yet they couldn't.
They couldn't push through Ukraine for everyfor every way they tried, they couldn't
do it. I mean so,I mean absolutely so Like actually, you
know, pushing against all of thismoney going away from establishing our security somehow

(26:07):
means you're siding with Russia. Doesn'tmake sense. I would just get up
and have a press conference and makefun of her, be like, let's
see what else are we gonna So, so if we don't want to send
money to the terrorists in Hamas,are we siding with Russia? Like as
every so, if you don't getyour way every single time, you're siding
with Russia. This is what Republicansshould be doing. You're siding with Russia

(26:30):
because you're you're mad that we wantto spend money on border security. So
wanting to spend money on border securitymeans siding with Russia. You're not supposed
to inhale the exhaust that comes outof the Nords drum pipeline KJP kah Lee.

(26:51):
This is just asinine. Oh mygosh. But that's that's how they're
trying to spend I don't think that'sactually gonna work as long as Republicans keep
highlighting the hot mess at the border. Honestly, I think that that's going
to be enough. But but they'regonna get distracted. They're gonna get distracted

(27:12):
and they're going to start flipping outover the RNC stuff and everything. I
mean, just the stupidest stuff ever. I don't know. I can't,
I can't. I wanted to touchreal quickly. Go back to this special
election in New York. The soif you pull up, if you pull

(27:34):
up, am put up a Democratagainst the Democrat, and the Democrats running
as a Republican and they're running upagainst the Democrat. You know, the
Democrat is gonna win right that identifiesas a Democrat. That's one of the
reasons why I'm a little hesitant tosay that this special election completely entirely is
a you know, canary in thecoal mine for twenty twenty four. I

(27:56):
think the special election in Florida alreadywas that, and I think that there's
a couple of other things that havealready the Wisconsin court fight, I think,
and then what happened in Virginia.I think those already have have have
sort of signaled what Republicans need todo that they still haven't done yet.
But at the same time, whycouldn't you have met Why couldn't you have
portrayed this Democrat running as a Republican, as a moderate Republican and used that

(28:22):
to attract the non Trump base thatwould consider voting Republican in this race.
I mean, you had George Santoswin this. George Santos, he's a
man who gets botox. He's Imet him, he's nice. We had
him. I'll tell you about GeorgeSantos because he did that. He did
that video where he was trying toget he he didn't exactly know exactly what

(28:47):
he was jumping into But he wastalking about that congressional race in Texas twenty
six where you got somebody who literallyjust moved in. It's a common I
don't want to name names because I'mstill friends with them, but at the
same time, this is the businessof the country, not friends, show
business, not show friends. Butyou have literally somebody who just moved from
New York. The younger dude inthe race whose dad bought is buying him

(29:07):
the seat, trying to buy himthe seator. His dad, father in
law, is trying to buy himthe seat. The father in law created
this pack, filled its six figures. The father in law commentator kind of
already got in trouble over political donations. That was a big thing a while
ago. But it's an absolute factthat they're trying to buy the seat,
like completely, They've been buying allthese Lincoln dinners and all this other stuff.
And I mean, it's like reallyreally incestuous nepotism. It's bad.

(29:34):
And the guys never worked in theprivate sector. And I'm not exaggerating because
oppo researchers have looked he's never workedin the private sector. He used to
live in the Trump Tower when hewas in New York. He lived in
the Trump Tower for a long time, didn't work in the private sector.
He did a digital startup that wasfinanced by the UH father in law,
and then decided they waited and sawthe seat open up, and then decided

(29:56):
to move to Texas and then tryto run for the seat. And so
the Santos made this video where hewas commenting on one of the candidates in
the race, who's my mayor,John Huffman, And I was mad because
I'm like New York. He's he'skind of on the periphery. He's not
really part of it, but he'son the periphery of this group of New

(30:18):
York Republicans that came up recently.They think that conservatism is what they define
it as, which is big government. They're moderate, actual Republicans. They're
not actually conservatives. They're moderates.And they think that if they just you
know, go in and show theirass, you know, a couple of
times publicly, that that's going tobe enough to woo voters, you know,
just the simple things in life.And they decided to like make him

(30:41):
a sacrificial lamb, so to speak. And they didn't really come out some
of the stuff that they were lobbingat Santos was just yeah, I thought
was petty some of it, youknow, fine investigated. I just think
it's weird that gold bar Bob canstay there and then but they have to
make it less an example out ofSantos. And this is where Republicans get
stupid, because they were public lookingsin New York, got pushed around and
they and they didn't back him up. I mean, for all to talk

(31:03):
about being as tough as they are, they got pushed down to the ground
and their face in the dirt.These people are not there. They talk
a big game on Twitter, andthat's one of the things you got to
realize a lot of these people whotalk big games on Twitter. Twitter doesn't
move nothing. This social media stuffdoesn't move the needle one bit. All
the stupid conferences and the big conservativeevents don't move the needle one bit.

(31:26):
So they didn't back him. Theyended up losing this seat. So anyway,
Santos had made this video and weand God love him, we kind
of ambushed it. I know alot of people are gonna take exception.
They didn't think he's a croaker,think he's this, but he he was
a good sport because we ambushed himat a dinner with Huffman, like you're
I'm like, let's come to dinnerand drinks. I'm not gonna tell them

(31:48):
we're gonna have Huffman there too,because I'm like, yeah, we're not
gonna do this, and with mymayor. But it went out. He
was very nice and he apologized profusely, and he's very nice. They got
a picture and he was you know, he gets it and he was a
good sport about it. And hecould have been petty and snotty, and
he wasn't. He understands politics.You can talk about stay look Santo says,
his issues. You con sit heretalk about him six spaces Sunday.
But he gets the game. Hegets politics, and he gets that it's

(32:13):
about the voter. And I thinkthat's what made him at odds with this
New York group because they don't theythink it's about them. They don't think
it's about the voter. This isa disease that is expanding within the GOP
right now. It's about the voter. It's not about your personality, it's

(32:35):
not about whatever politician you love.It's about the voter. What are you
doing for the voter? Voters,all that matters everybody else's noise, What
are you doing for the voter?Santos gets it. He had. I
can't believe him saying this. Hehad a more conservative record than somebody like
John Kennedy out of Louisiana, who'skind of moderate. Santos had a ridiculously

(32:57):
conservative record. He had a conservativerecord more so than a lot of what
you would consider concern I look,I'm not saying that I think he's an
angel. I'm just saying he getsthe voter. So for all the faults
that people might think he has,he gets the voter. Steve is telling
me we've got to go to Iknow, we gotta go to break.
But I wanted to explain that becausethis out of everything that I think the

(33:22):
New York special election is forecasting,it is forecasting the problem within the GOP,
not the electorate. As we moveFree Radio brought to you by the

are the days of the United States, say many times, especially to the
young folks that I mentor you know, we can think of history as being
a relay race. And of coursethey are then those who carried the baton

(35:13):
before us, and then they passedthe baton to us, and we who
are in this room right now currentlyhold the baton. And I do believe
that the ancestors, that the founders, and we are talking about the founding
mothers and fathers of our country.By the way, I do believe that

(35:34):
they didn't necessarily think that we wouldend the race, but charged us with
a responsibility to do as much andas best as we could while we carry
the baton. For I'm not gonnalie. I fell asleep with my eyes
open. I'm just what I justfell sleeve. I don't even know what
this is. What is she talkingabout? I've heard it four times and

(35:58):
I don't know. I literally wasjust I zoned out. Every time I
hear her, I just go gistof it was history is a relay race,
and the baton is in our hands, passed to us by our ancestors.
If you look at the Venn diagram, which I love does ven diagrams?

(36:20):
Yeah, So, can someone explainto us while she's out here,
you know, clucking over whatever thehell that is? What is this threat
situation? Did you guys hear aboutthis? So apparently the House Intelligence Committee
says there's a really vague threat outthere. They actually made it official.
We're going to talk about this comingup. Stick with us. Our partners
over at Patriot Mobile, the onlyChristian conservative cell phone service in the country.

(36:43):
They want to save you dollars andthey've been doing so for a decade.
This is the cell phone service Ihave. I've never had an issue
with it, and I've saved moremoney than on my previous service. I
think I've had them for like maybenine, eight or nine years now.
I was one of the I wasthe first person in talk radio or commentary
period to start working with Patriot Mobile. And they offer dependable nationwide coverage and

(37:05):
all three major networks. You're gettingthe best service without funding the left,
and that's the thing. Your moneyis not going towards you know, DEI

Make that switch today. That's PatriotMobile dot com, slash data nine seven

(37:50):
or what country it involves? Imean, should the public be alarmed at
this point? Since you have saidthis publicly, I'm not a position to
say anything further today. Like Isaid, I look forward to the discussion
with him and obviously from there wewill determine how to proceed. But standing
here at the podium today, Ican't chair anything further. So that seems
totally healthy. So this is what'sup. First, that's Jake Sullivan,

(38:12):
who is being asked about this,and he's with the NSA National Security Administration.
He says he's not in a positionto say if the public should be
alarmed by this, this urgent matterregarding a destabilizing foreign military capability, And
so I wanted this is what cameout. This is from the House Intelligence
Committee and the chairman, Mike Turner, he's a Republican with GOP overside as

(38:37):
well. He's out of Ohio.He really is a statement saying this quote.
Today, the House Permanent Select Committeeon Intelligence has made available to all
members of Congress information concerning a seriousnational security threat and requesting that President Biden
classify all information relating to this threatso that Congress, Administration, and our
allies can openly discuss the actions necessaryto respond to this threat. And so

(39:00):
Jake Sullivan was asked, well,I'm not in a position to say if
you should be alarmed. What kindof answer is that? Don't you feel
like you should? This is okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna bring the tugbut
to shore. But roll with mefor a moment. This is what infuriates
me about drama queens that are democrats. First off, my number one pet

(39:20):
pee Yeah, Steve says, thenwhy the hell say anything? My number
one pet Peeve are drama queens.I hate more than any I hate like
not a dislike. There's only threethings. I hate a dude whose name
rhymes with shmannon and because he's atrader to the country h Also, I
hate Green Day, and I hatedrama queens. Everything else is just a

(39:44):
very strong dislike, you know,like abba, I appreciate the artistry,
and I get that they're very smart, and I just am that's not my
bag. Just because it's not mybag doesn't mean I hate it. I
just dislike it. Right, sohates a strong word. I hate drama
queens. I hate it when thereare there is a drama queen infusion into
my politics like this, because thisis the time when you should be super

(40:07):
sober minded. Right. Do youremember when nine to eleven happen and I
was twenty one years old and I'mwatching they kept playing that video over and
over again. Bush was in aFlorida classroom elementary school kids like little kids,
third and fourth graders. He's readinga book and that's when one of

(40:29):
his top aides walked up to himwhispered in his ear, Sir of the
United States is under attack. AndI will say, for all so many
things that I disagree with Bush on, the way that he handled that after
was masterful because a lot of peoplewould have just been very dramatic about it,
I think, and I think thoseare moments like that that truly test

(40:52):
what skills you have. No oneever rises to an occasion, They always
fall back on their highest level oftraining, right, And he for a
moment looked, his face turned intoan eagle, and his eyes got real
shrewd looking and just real pointed,and then he had a different vibe after
he stayed there on the stage.He didn't freak out, but there was

(41:13):
a different vibe. And later on, like fifteen years later, they went
back and they interviewed the kids inthe classroom, and every single one of
those kids, black, white,Asian, every single one of them Democrat,
Republican, whatever, every one ofthem said they were. They didn't
realize it at the time, butthey were grateful that he maintained his calmness

(41:35):
and his composure because that could haveled the nation into hysteria had he not.
And they said, he made itsomething we could understand and manage after
because of the way he reacted.Now, I mentioned that because I actually
kind of used that as a baselinefor everything. And I will say,

(41:58):
I know people some you know now, I don't know how Rudy Giuliani went
for being America's mayor to being likemade fun of and stuff. I don't
get it one of the things thathe said the week after nine to eleven,
because they said there was at onepoint where Giuliani was awake for three
days straight and he was living oncoffee and he was just trying to coordinate
and someone had asked him, howare you able to keep your your level

(42:20):
head through all this? And hegoes, well, it was my dad.
He's like, my dad always toldme that the calmest person in the
room will always be able to figuretheir way out of any situation. And
I've always remembered that. In fact, that's what I remembered when I was
on stage at Parkland and that wassix years ago. Today we're going to
talk about that coming up. Thatwas the first thing that was what I
had in my head on stage forthat town hall. And so I comparing

(42:47):
this with this Jake Sullivan, andI'm not saying that his demeanor is hysterical,
But why say anything at all?He could just say that's something that
we're gonna circle back with the presson when we have more information to give.
You should not want to even givean inkling of hysteria or anything to

(43:12):
the general public. It's like andTommy Lee Jones said in Men in Black
and I Love Tommy Lee Jones.Tommy Lee Jones, his line was,
a person is smart, people arestupid. A person can be common cool,
but you get a bunch of personstogether and then people they feed off
each other's hysteria. Why would youeven float that as a as bait?

(43:37):
And then because I am that cynical, and because I, along with all
of you, have just we've livedthrough an era where the government shut us
down, lockdown, made everyone stayin their homes, made it pulled everybody's
kids out of school, try toforce jabs onto everybody. Then it made

(43:58):
me think, is this, ohwait a minute, relate people into pushing
for support of this Ukraine supplemental thinkabout it. I don't put anything past
my government. I'm an American,though, I don't put anything past any
government, not just my government.I don't put anything past it. So

(44:19):
made me wonder. I mean,you're talking about national security, and Kine
notes, Kane, just go ahead, because Kane's caps locking right now in
slack, his inside voice is gettingreally loud. Yeah. First of all,
of all the people to say orbe in a position to say on
things of national security, it wouldbe Jake Sullivan, our national security advisor.

(44:40):
Correct. But also it's kind ofnice that right before the authority to
spy on us with that Faiza Amendment, right when that's running out, all
of a sudden, now there's anational threat. I don't know, false
flags and all, but there's anagenda when there needs to be legislation pushed

(45:01):
forward, and a lot of timesthis is the kind of stuff we see.
Yeah. I mean, now Iwas looking at some of this because
the Jakes, so he was sayingthat it's an urgent matter with regard to
a destabilizing foreign military capability. Sois that aron is that what they're talking

(45:21):
about. I mean, it justseems like there you can't just float.
This is all to manipulate the public. This is all to manipulate the public.
That's what this is. And itcould be as Kine said because of
the Faiza sunset that that that provisionwith regard to it, could be the

(45:45):
Ukraine thing, could be both.I just this is a government that once
told us that white supremacy was thegreatest threat to the nation. So forgive
me if I just don't take themseriously. When when someone says something at
but tastically stupid, I because thereliterally isn't another adjective for it. I

(46:06):
had to fashion that one out ofthe ether. I just can't take them
seriously on anything else, can you. I mean, they looked at you
with a straight face and like,well, the Groider's threat, I mean
you got BLM burning down churches andstuff. The Groder's threat it swarge property.
I I don't know. I justit's I I question their ability to

(46:29):
actually identify threats. Number one,I question their ability to identify threats.
And number two, I do thinkthat this is an absolute issue of I
think right now I'm leaning towards thisis them trying to manipulate you, the
public. That's what it seems like, because I for an actual they don't

(46:52):
need to go and make it public. If there's an actual threat. Oh
there's a threat, guys, wecan't talk about it. We need the
we need X y Z to wouldn'tWhen have you ever heard that? Oh,
we got to be able to talkabout this threat. We got to
have and make a public thing about. And yes, I am questioning Turner
on this to an extent. Whatdo you mean, what kind of threat?
You have to publicly ask the presidentto declassify stuff? I mean,

(47:14):
y'all know that there's like a wholenot everything has to be done on social
media, not everything has to bedone in front of the cameras. I
just feel like if it was areal threat, it would have been done
privately. I don't know. Andnow you have Jake Sullivan saying this,
So I just I don't know.I question absolutely everything, and you should.
As I said six years ago today, I'm keeping in my thoughts some

(47:36):
very good friends of mine who losttheir children at Parkland A week after that.
That's when we had that infamous townhall, and I wanted to point
something out and I told everybody thisyears ago, actually in the years that
followed, because I've covered this storyrelentlessly, obviously, and this was also

(47:59):
stuff that the Marjorie Stone and DouglasCommission, which was made in the wake
of this tragedy to evaluate what wentwrong and how to fix it. What
they also uncovered. The Florida SunSentinel ran a peace talking about how there
retired and I had this story andI actually talked to the parents and one
of the teachers in this and Ihad to protect the teacher's identity. But

(48:23):
there was a retired Secret Service agentthat had warned Stoneman Douglas the school about
the security failures. They warned administratorsthat the school could be vulnerable. They
walked in this parent, this retiredSecret Service agent, Steve Wexler. He
walked through the school with post itnotes and was able to put them all

(48:50):
on students, the backs of studentsand teachers, et cetera, so he
could showcase just how easy it wasto do something like this, how easy
it could be for someone to gainaccess. And he'd said, you know,
just imagine these post it notes orgunshots. And this was before the
tragedy took place. Florida Sun Sentinelhas an article that's still available up about

(49:15):
it. Marjorie Still and Douglass ignoredthat risk assessment. Everything that was recommended,
recommended, then recommended, excuse meto them to prevent this massacre.
They ignored it in the days leadingup. They didn't lock the doors,
they didn't have an ability to declarea code read and it was confirmed by

(49:37):
other staff. This was all thestuff that was buried by many of the
people in the media. They werebusy calling me a devil, and I
was out here talking to parents andretired Secret Service agents and everything else about
all of the things that that schoolcould have done beforehand that they refused to

(49:59):
do, failed to do. Andsix years on, nothing has changed except
I think they do lock the gatesnow and maybe lock the doors. But
it's it's tragic. We're gonna talkmore about this because KJP she mentioned Parkland
yesterday, but you know what theydidn't mention Sutherland Springs and how that was

(50:23):
thwarted by a good guy with agun, a dear friend of mine.

he doesn't say serious national security threat, the lack of your ability to say
any thing has the potential to raisedistress for some Americans In the simplest of
terms, Can you tell Americans thatthere's nothing they have to worry about right
now in terms of what he describesas the national security threats? Look,
I think in a way that questionis impossible to answer with the straight yes,

(56:24):
right because Americans understand that there area range of threats and challenges in
the world that we're dealing with everysingle day. And those threats and challenges
range from terrorism to state actors,and we have to contend with them,
and we have to contend with themin a way where we ensure the ultimate
security of the American people. Iam confident that President Biden, in the

(56:46):
decisions that he is taking, isgoing to ensure the security of the American
people going forward. And I willstand here at this podium and assert that
look you in the eye with confidencethat we believe that we can and will
and are protecting the national security ofthe United States and the American peer.
So there's a lot of information comingout about this and now, and this
had to do with this. Ithink it's kind of a dramatic and hysterical

(57:08):
way to present all this, ifI'm being honest. First off, welcome
back to the program. Dana Lashhere with you bottom of this second hour,
and you can listen Coast to Coast. You can stream the radio program,
you can watch the video component.I'm wearing a other color other than
black today. I'm wearing red.Even though I'm not a big Valentine's Day

(57:28):
person, I'm wearing red for Valentine'sDay. There you go, So they
check that off the box. Butgood to be with you. Listen Coast
to Coast Channel three forty seven DirectTV. The chat at YouTube. Also
find is at Facebook as well andsubstack, chapter and verse. So let
me just give you some of thelatest on this because we played for you
the Jake Sullivan SoundBite. And thisall started with a statement that came from

(57:51):
the House Intelligence Committees Chairman Mike Turner, who had said that it was warning
of some kind of information they neededto make available and declassify information relating to
a serious national security threat, etcetera. Apparently there's a briefing that's taking
place here shortly for members of Congressabout this. And then it came out

(58:12):
that, uh, I mean,because my first thought was is this the
way to push Ukraine funding? Thenit came out CNN reports that the national
security threat is a highly concerning andis a highly concerning and destabilizing Russian capability
what and so then this comes fromJackie Heinrich literally three minutes ago. Source
says that material Turner is asking theBiden administration to classify deals with concerning Russian

(58:37):
capability. The seriousness of the threatis grave, but the threat is not
immediate in nature. Is this whenhe was talking about the hypersonic missiles in
the Tucker interview? Maybe? Andwas that his intention? Putin's intention?

(58:58):
Was it his intention to then tryto freak out the US because he knew
about the spending stuff coming up.I don't know. Maybe I guess this
is why. See see, don'tmake fun of me everybody for always being
a cynic and suspicious. Now itmakes sense, doesn't it. Yeah,
it's like stepping back from the walland figuring out that Kaiser SoSE was the
name of some porcelain cups, right, uh huh uhha usual suspects. Now

(59:21):
it makes sense. Now it makessense. You can't treat me like I'm
Charlie Day anymore. No, Nowit makes sense. You step away from
the wall and you're like, I'llbe damn Kaiser Jose. See that was
a great movie, except Kevin Spacey'sa weirdo anyway? Is that I'm just
wondering it could Okham's razor. Rememberwhen he had that conversation in the interview

(59:45):
and I watched the full interview withTucker that he did, and I don't
think Tucker got rolled, but Ifelt like there was there for no reason?
Is is putin for no reason otherthan something advantageous? Is putin going
to sit down with someone and havea conversation, right, I want to

(01:00:12):
put on the table this thought too. We live in an unprecedented time where
we justifiably, by the way,and keep in mind, this is in
our American DNA to always have asomewhat civil but antagonistic relationship with our government,

(01:00:34):
right, that's the nature of ourDNA. We don't trust our government.
That's why we have our republic formthe way it is, and we
are in an unprecedented time because wedistrust our government. And not for no
good reason, by the way.I mean, this is a government I'm

(01:00:57):
not even getting into the pandemic.That's the whole thing by itself that justifies
your distrust. But the administration pressingon social media companies to censor you if
they dislike your speech, the governmentrunning guns to Mexican cartels through the Fast
and Furious program that lawmakers then tryto cite and craft legislation around as a

(01:01:24):
way to disarm you. There area lot of things out there. People
losing their jobs because they didn't usesomeone's make believe pronouns. There's a lot
out there, a lot of justificationto distrust your government. If I were

(01:01:46):
an entity or a geopolitical opponent thatsought to further destabilize my enemy or frenemy
or opponent. One of the mostcost efficient, easiest and effective ways to

(01:02:07):
do that is to have them takethemselves out with division, et cetera.
That's why I do believe and Ibelieve that the left wants to divide the
right, and I think that thereare greater forces internationally. There are other
forces internationally that want to divide theUS. That's why I think a lot

(01:02:30):
of the I think there's a lotof bots on social media that are Russian
backed, Chinese backed. I wouldbet everything on that. That's a fact.
And the left and their stupidity becausethey want to divide the right,
they played along with that for awhile and you see what's become of it.

(01:02:50):
But that is to get the yourI mean, that's very sun Zoo
to have your enemy defeat itself withoutyou ever having to fire a single shot.
And it's the most cost efficient andit's the most effective because when you
can take an opponent and you cancorrupt it and pervert the principle of it,

(01:03:19):
that is more effective than steamrolling themover. If you wage war on
someone in the traditional way, thevery symmetrical way that we have previously,
this is asymmetrical warfare stuff, thevery old fashioned way. You know,
if you do it, you know, the redcoat way, so to speak.
You just create resentment and you enshrinein that opponent a new generation that

(01:03:43):
is going to resent you. That'sone of the things that the Cold War
did is that a lot of peoplehad they saw a lot of the stuff
that Russia was doing, and especiallyafter Vietnam and after World War Two,
they saw a lot of the stuffthat Russia was doing, and so they
they grew up with that reality andthey they had I mean, they knew

(01:04:10):
they could name, they could enumeratereasons why they disliked Russia. I think
since that time, h Russia's beenplaying an opt They've been playing an optics
battle, a narrative war, andto get the United States to turn on
itself and to exploit the opportunities presentedto them where they can further hammer on

(01:04:34):
those differences. Well, that's that'ssuper successful because you're not creating from that
people who are going to be antagonistictowards them. They're going to be antagonistic
towards each other. They won't viewRussia as being a bad actor anymore.

(01:04:56):
China hasn't yet figured out how todo that. Russia and I my first
thought was, was it did Ihave to do with those hypersonic missiles that
that Putin was talking about. Idon't know. I mean, I'm just
I'm speculating on that point, butyou know, I am curious about this.

(01:05:17):
But I do think that there arethere are bad actors that have that
are bots, that are China,Russia, that have that have tried to
UH push people into uh these divisivecategories. I think that they've tried to
foment uh tension and hatred within differentfactions of Americans. I think that's to

(01:05:42):
their advantage. They've played upon theerrors of our government. They've exploited when
our government has messed up and hascaused distrust in the heart of its people.
These bad actors, I absolutely thinkthat they've exploited it. That's what
you would do if you wanted todestabilize your opponent without you using your own
resources in terms of manpower or munitions, you would do. That's one of

(01:06:05):
the easiest, most cost efficient waysto destabilize somebody. So in some ways
I think that Tucker interview was interesting, But in other ways I wondered what
could have what persuaded Putin to dothis. He's not going to sit down

(01:06:27):
and talk to him unless it iscompletely advantageous to him. Now, keep
in mind, I'm not saying thatyou shouldn't go and interview world laters.
I do think that you should havea journal. You have to have a
journalistic enterprise, and I do thinkthat you need to be able to talk
to these individuals and interview them andask questions. There is a difference there,
but I think part of that alsomeans that you have to weigh in

(01:06:49):
what they think they're going to getout of it from you. And I
don't think that that was necessarily discussedenough. So I'm sure we'll probably have
a press conference about this at somepoint. The House members have to be
brief first, and I know thatthere's a briefing. I think it's actually
now that with Turner and these thisintelligence subcommit this Intelligence Committee, But I

(01:07:19):
don't know. I'm just telling youI also saw this as well, and
I keep seeing this and I pullthis up. I keep seeing stuff like
this pushed where they have, forinstance, this who's this guy? There
are some people on the right,and these are the people who they're Usually
they do white papers at these thinktank security firms. Et cetera. And

(01:07:41):
there's one guy out there, there'sseveral actually who are writing these papers on
how they how we need to reintroducenational military service and that should be a
top priority across the West. Andthe current model of all volunteer forces and
NATO countries is no longer sustainable.Well, there's a reason why it's not
sustained. First off, you're notgoing to encourage people to enlist when you're

(01:08:03):
forcing jabs upon them that have seriousconsequences, number one. Number two,
you're not going to enforce people totake seriously military service when you yourself don't
take it seriously. And by nottaking it seriously, I mean by entertaining
the fantasies of guys who think thatthey're women and think it's appropriate as military

(01:08:24):
officers to wear high heels and makeupto work. You're not going to get
people to enlist when you're preaching aboutCRT and DEI. You're not going to
get people to enlist when you havefolks like Lloyd Austin at the top who
thinks that they can surreptitiously go tothe hospital and not even inform their deputy
of what's happening. You're not goingto get people to enlist when they don't

(01:08:45):
trust their country, when they don'ttrust their government. You're not going to
get people to enlist when their governmenttells them that they themselves are the bigger
enemy here. You're not going toget people to enlist when they see their
government jailing people for unlawful parading,or people who went into the capitol and
didn't do any damage of getting morejail time than child predators in California.

(01:09:08):
You're not going to get people toenlist when they are being taxed to death
and watching their billions of dollars goto Ukraine. And you're sure as hell
not going to get people to enlistwhen your military bureaucracy hasn't won a conflict
in how long? When you havenot been able for thirty years to identify
a clear objective for any kind ofmilitary involvement, When you play politics with

(01:09:30):
the lives of our young men andwomen and you send them overseas for what
popularity contests with foreign nations, whenthere's no clear objective, when rules of
engagement set entire teams up to getkilled, when you take political correctness more
seriously than the objective or the livesof the people carrying out these missions.

(01:09:53):
No, you are not going toget enlistment, and you do not solve
that by requiring anti American Communist mandatorymilitary service. You want to see people
out into the streets raising all kindsof hell. It will make BLM look
like nothing. That's a promise.Take it however you want to and blink

(01:10:17):
the CIA. We got more onthe way as we get moving, and
we got Florida man coming up toit's his life mission to make bad decisions.
It's time for Florida man. Igotta go. I gotta start with

(01:10:40):
this. This Florida man calling nineto one one. I can't I get
it. I don't know. Maybeit's like we've all been conditioned by online
reviews and Yelp and everything else tothink that we got to complain or we
should give feedback for every single experiencethat we have, because that's exactly what
this guy. That's the only thingI can that's the only way I can
explain. This man called nine oneone during his arrest to complain about the

(01:11:01):
officers arresting him. According to theAffidavid, Yeah, he made a scene
in a wah Wah over a handicapspot, and then he called nine to
one one because the officers were tryingto take him into custody and they were
like threatening him, like you betterstop this, We're gonna have to arrest
you. So he called nine oneone and ran out and went off about
him. Thirty nine year old NicholasTaylor was charged with disorderly intoxication of misuse

(01:11:27):
of nine one one after he raiseda fit up at the wah Wah.
He came across the vehicle in thehandicap spot without a permit. He stormed
into the store and caused a sceneand then threatened to fight the person who
parked there, uh, and wasscreaming at him, do you want to
fight? Do you want to fight? According to the police, and then
he stood behind the vehicle and wouldn'tlet them leave, and he kept trying

(01:11:49):
to fight the guy. Law enforcementarrived. They told him to stop.
They said they could smell the liquoron him from a halfway across a lot,
and Uh, he was argumentative,and then he demanded a sergeant respond.
And then when the officers were like, we're gonna have to take in
buddy, he called nine to oneone to complain about the officers. He
was taking a Lake Honty jail andhe posted fifteen hundred dollars bond, like

(01:12:13):
you know, don't maybe just don't. A Florida man eate raw chicken for
twenty five straight days in a bizarredietary experiment. No one knows why he's
not dead. Also, that's nasty. He's alive. This guy said that
he was eating raw chicken. Hewas on it's on he's on Instagram.
It was the raw chicken experiment.This is to then shut up, shut

(01:12:38):
up, Kane. No, you'renot doing this. This is so weird.
Die he didn't die, but didyou die? But did you die?
No, we're not doing this.That's so gross. Like why he
said it reminded him of a scallop. That's nasty. No, we don't.
We got more on the way stickwith a third hour coming up,

(01:12:59):
and anybody that thinks that Putin's notserious about those threats need to look a
little closer at what he's been saying. Not just this Tuckle calls an interview,
look at his speeches, look athis writings over recent years. He
absolutely bristles at NATO on his border. He absolutely bristles at the idea that
NATO could be stronger and more relevant, which it is right now, and
he has threatened some of our NATOallies. So we got to take this

(01:13:19):
seriously because to tell you, ifyou think it's costs a lot right now
to support Ukraine, think about thecosts to American blood and treasure if in
fact he goes after our NATO allyand then you've got American troops on the
ground involved in combat. This isthis is just no, this is this

(01:13:40):
is ridiculous. This is John Kirbybasically. I mean now it's you know,
well, if you want a strongborder, you support putin or if
you don't support this now then Imean you know, we're gonna have boots
on the ground and it's gonna getsuper expensive. That's ultimately what they're saying
here. If you think it's alot, now, why would we have
troops on the ground involved in combatUkraine. They're not a NATO member,
they're not an ally. Why inthe ever loving hell would we have boots

(01:14:01):
on the ground. Stop fear mongering, war Ink. Welcome back to the
program, Dana Lash here with you. Top of this third hour of the
program. Why would we have bootson the ground. There is no reason
and the idea that I hear peoplesay that he bristles, that putin bristles,
or he's mad about having NATO onhis borders. He's had NATO on

(01:14:25):
his borders for flipping. Ever,Estonia and Lafia, do people know where
those are on the map? Dothey know the Baltic States? Do they
know they've been NATO members for quitea long time, they're on the border.
Finland was just added in April lastyear, and that's the most eastward
extending country. So and there's Ihaven't seen any threats. I feel like

(01:14:51):
this is war ink trying to goback to Cold War days now. I
wanted to again. You can listento the program co Coast stream it.
You can find the video simulcast onChannel three forty seven direct TV. You
can also find the chat on YouTube. Also on Facebook find some video the

(01:15:11):
I wanted to bring this up.This was US Defense officials, So while
we were on break, US Defenseofficials confirmed that the national security threat has
to do with a new space basedcapability by the Russian military. Huh wow,
it's so wild that we just itjust comes out that there's this crazy

(01:15:35):
space threat as this Ukraine supplemental billof sixty one billion dollars to Ukraine,
that it's stalling out. Wow.So shocking that we just now find this.
Yeah, wow, this is allto push this every bit of it's

(01:15:59):
to push the space nambo. Wowhmmm. I mean, I got a
lot of We got to have ninetyfive billion dollars to neutralize the threat in
space, right, Isn't that whatit sounds like? That's what it sounds
like they're pushing, does it.I just I don't trust the people telling

(01:16:23):
us that this is a national securitythreat, especially somebody like Jake Sullivan,
who was involved in the dossier stuff. I mean, good grief, let
me pull this up. This guywas one of the people who told everybody
that the laptop story was a Russianwas just a Russian opo, and it

(01:16:48):
wasn't. But that's what he said. This is a guy who will pushed
the dossier. I don't believe peoplewho've lied to me. I don't believe
this is a national security threat.I don't. I mean, this was
a guy who had tried to coopt the CIA and FBI in twenty sixteen.

(01:17:12):
Jake Sullivan. He was a seniorforeign policy advisor to Hillary Clinton.
He did the project, He spearheadedthe whole thing to try to link Trump
to the Kremlin through fabricated email serverrecords. Remember all of this, that
all came out in the testimony thatMichael Sussman, who is a partner in

(01:17:38):
the law firm that Hillary Clinton usedas her agent, her transactional agent to
hide her direct involvement of retaining fusionGPS. It was Perkins Cooey, the
law firm that her campaign used.And Sussman is a partner of Perkins Cooey,
and he was the one who representedHe represented her in all that He

(01:18:00):
had been indicted because for line tothe FBI about this stuff and this,
it all came out. Sullivan's involvementall came out in this. They said,
of the people who are involved inthe conspiracy to mislead the FBI and
trigger an investigation included Jake Sullivan.Inn Essay, Jake Sullivan, the Jake
Sullivan Now that's on stage telling youthat there's an immediate security threat. Just

(01:18:24):
so happens. They're telling you thiswhen the ninety five billion dollar bill to
send our money to Ukraine is stallingout. And I'm sorry, but I
think that the dude, I thinkthis Turner dude's of rhino. Uh this.
Remember, these were the guys whofabricated all of this stuff about the
server thing, linking Trump to Kremlin, the Alpha Bank story that The New

(01:18:45):
York Times wrote, and then hadto very surreptitiously, you know, kind
of retract all of that. That'sthat's all these guys. This is all
of them and Jake Sullivan, theycoordinated all to provide this fake these fake
materials to the FBI, Mark Elias, everybody. This is the guy now

(01:19:06):
telling you that there's a huge threattrying to scare you into partying with billions
of dollars. Why do they wantthis money so damn bad? Then thoughts
came, why do they want itso bad? This is wild? So
that's who's telling you that this isa national security threat. I don't And

(01:19:29):
then oh, I can't answer withthe straight yes. Jake Sullivan couldn't answer
with a straight anything. I don't. I don't believe any of this.
Oh it's a security threat related towhy didn't they come out and just say
it's about Russia space. That's whatit's about. That's what it's about.
Hmmm, hmmm. I'm sure thisdoesn't have anything to do with the prolonging

(01:19:51):
everything going down in Ukraine and etcetera. Wow, hmmm. So this
is right after that interview with Putintoo and after I mean, I'm full
of conspiracy theories right now, youare too, Canaan Ierson or they're both

(01:20:15):
going. I mean, there's somany things wrong with this, like,
so many things wrong. I don'tbelieve in coincidences in politics. So are
they saying then the money that theyneed that they want the House to pass
for Ukraine is going to go toNo, they haven't said that yet.
They're just trying to say there's athreat, and then it'll probably come out

(01:20:38):
later that well, maybe we shouldpass this bill to help with this threat.
Yeah. I see. It's aslow walk to the narrative. Yeah,
because they don't want to be tooobvious. They don't want to come
out the day that they're voting onthis stuff and say, hey, Ukraine,
now that I like you had.A reporter asked Jake Sullivan, quote,
can you tell Americans there's nothing theyhave to worry about? Right now
in terms of what is described asa national security threat, and Sullivan said,

(01:21:00):
quote, that question is impossible toanswer with the straight ass You rat
bastard out here, fear mongering people, You distrustful little weasel out here,
fear mongering people to push this ninetyfive billion dollars supplemental. That's what this
is. There's no I'm sorry,there's no threat. I don't and I

(01:21:23):
don't believe the people telling me thereis, because they've lied about everything.
Why would I start believing them now. They've been lying to you since twenty
Since before twenty sixteen, the samepeople who tried to rob you. The
coup was what people like Jake Sullivanand everyone else tried to do in twenty
sixteen and rob people of a freeand fair election. That was the attempted

(01:21:48):
coup. They needed the right todo something so they could get the attention
off themselves. That's why they blewj six up so crazy. That was
the attempted coup. Literally fabricating informationand working with the Kremlin, this is

(01:22:10):
indisputable. It's a fact. Launderinglies through the press, paid for and
then using the stories that produced andhanded it to the fis of court and
saying, look at this, thisis evidence. They laundered it like the
like the like the like a cartelwould through the press, so then they
could say that this isn't from us, this is their own independent reporting that

(01:22:33):
we gave them. And all thesejournalists out here with no spine that ran
this stuff like it was their ownwork. I don't have a lot of
respect for. And there's some conservativewebsites that do this, that will take
apo from politicians and run it asa byline. I don't like that.

(01:22:56):
And that's that's what this wason.So now they've got to try to say,
oh, guys, something spooky,there's some spookiness happening here. Got
to pass this ninety five billion andthe guy who was right the coordinator of
all the Russian dossier stuff up therepushing this on you, and people wonder

(01:23:20):
why we don't trust our government,You wonder why. So the Senate passes
it, and the House there Itold you they're going to bring the thunder
down on the House anyway they can. And this is it. This is
part of it. This is partof it. It's just it's unbelievable.

(01:23:43):
So hopefully, I mean Johnson needsto hold the line on here. I
mean, they were successful and theyimpeach Majorcus. He's not going to be
removed from office. But they weresuccessful and they at least got that to
happen, so that was good.But this, uh, I mean this,
well, it's not space aliens.I was kind of hoping it was
space aliens. Kane. It's stillmay change to that. I mean,

(01:24:09):
I'm still not going to give ninetyfive billion dollars. I mean, you
could have. So there's this alienshow that I'm watching. I can't remember
what it's called. It's like analien drama. I can't remember. No,
No, it's a new one.It's episodic. Oh gosh, I
can't think of the name of it. Anyway. It's about you know,
aliens that come in and some youknow they we figured out how to uncloak

(01:24:32):
their ships and all this stuff,and the alien design is actually pretty interesting,
and it has these different groups thatare are in their own ways working
to help defeat you know, thealiens, et cetera. You would have
to get to that point before Iwould consider spending ninety five billion dollars,
and it still wouldn't be sending itover to Ukraine. It would be on

(01:24:53):
us. Hmmm, so there yougo. I I'm just I don't know
this whole thing. I find thismakes me angry. It makes me angry
that anybody's pushing this, That youhave a Republican that came out with the
statement, It makes me angry thatyou have Jake Sullivan up there. It

(01:25:14):
makes me angry that they're playing around. They think that national security is something
that can be leveraged to push spending. This is about laundry money through Ukraine.
You're talking about spending sixty one billiondollars on Ukraine. There's no objective,
there's no end in sight. Theycan't even say what their omission would
be. And then in another almostten billion dollars to the terrorists in Hamas.
Seriously, and I reject, reject. Everyone is unserious. The people

(01:25:39):
who say, oh no, itgoes to the Godsen people, goes to
the Godsen health ministry. Who runsa Godsen health ministry? You cousin loving
morons, who who, oh mygosh, who it's Hamas, the same
people that work with the UN tohave a tunnel under the UN's HQ there
in Gaza. No, and nowall of the news you would probably miss.

(01:26:00):
It's time for Dana's Quick five.Haiti's rum industry has taken a hit
as gangs are torching sugar cane fields. I know this is the newest the
newest victim of violent gangs trying tocontrol a number of businesses in territory in
Haiti. They're renowned rum. Thelatest victim of violent gangs. They're all

(01:26:21):
trying to control this stuff. It'sall ter four. They said that about
nineteen almost twenty acres of sugar canefields were torched in recent days as rival
gangs were fighting near a distillery nearPortal Prints. And they said that they
said the lost fields are not goingto affect production, but they said that

(01:26:41):
they're going to have to stop distributingfree putable water and doing some other things
because they have to protect the safetytheir employees at this point. And this
is one of the country's most popularexports as well. So leave the rum
alone, like for you know,you're an enemy of all humanity if you're
doing this, not just of likea rival gang, but you're literally an
enemy of all things good. You'reburning sugar cane fields for rum. Let's

(01:27:01):
see a plane carrying Canadian skydivers hitthe beach in southern Mexico, killing a
guy on a ground. This wason the ground. This is crazy.
So four Canadian skydivers came down ona beach Sunday in southern Mexico. One
guy who was on the beach waskilled. There was no information about what
made the plane go down, butit looks like it was. It made
a forced land made a forced landingand the plane was largely intact, but

(01:27:26):
it fell in a pretty populated section. That's horrific. Four Canadians, one
Mexican man removed from the plane takenfor treatment. Their state civil defense that
they were in stable condition. Goodness. Let's see. A gang stole one
hundred and forty five tons of chickenand a bizarre heist of up to fifty
five thousand birds. This is sixteenone thousand, six hundred and sixty boxes

(01:27:50):
a full of poultry. And theywere twenty years in prison for their crimes.
This was in Havana. They satninety pounds of chicken. Well,
they were speddaling the stolen goods onthe street, trying to But if they
were like feeding the poor, thatwould be one thing. But they were
selling them so that they could buywatches. But here's the other thing,
though, listen to how this iswritten. They said watches and other luxury

(01:28:12):
items like refrigerators and air conditioners.That seems kind of like a necessity and
not a luxury item. Though Idon't think that the person who wrote this
article understands what luxury item is.And they said that the video surveillance they
caught all of it. So wehave more on the way, including how
you're being manipulated to prolong the conflictin Ukraine. Stick with me craving a

(01:28:38):
daily dose of intellectual adrenaline. Lookno further than the Data Show podcast where
curiosity meets courage by following on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
Emans that are being considered. Oneof them would require a warrant for
every query of blobily collected data ifthat were to pass and get into the

(01:28:58):
bill, with the president veto thatbill. So I'm not in a position
to stand here today and make vetothreats on behalf of the president. Those
are decisions for him to make.What I will tell you is that we
do not believe that that serves thenational security interests of the United States,
and in fact today I will bemaking that case to a number of members

(01:29:19):
that the warrant requirement has conceived isnot the best way actually to ensure the
protection of the personal privacy of Americans. There are a number of other elements
of the bill that we have supportedthat would reform and update FAIZA to protect
the civil liberties of Americans. Buta warrant requirement, from our perspective,
would go too far in undermining thevery purpose of FAISA. Frankly, it

(01:29:40):
would put victims at risk. Whatso, if we have a warrant and
we respect due process, then Cain, are you okay? That Welcome back
to the program. Dana here,I'm checking on kin kin I'm ok And
he made physically, I'm all right. Mentally it was your eyes went to
googlely mode. Yeah, I don'tunderstand. So the whole requiring a warrant

(01:30:05):
by authorities is not helpful too Americans. I think it's more not helpful to
authorities. I think is basically whathe'sa kane. Are are Americans? You
know? This is quite an argumentyou make. I mean those authorities are
Americans? Right, So that's youknow, you could it's not helpful to

(01:30:29):
them. The ones in position ofauthority are yeah, American, but more
accountable to Americans than the average American. Yeah. I see what you're saying
there, Kane. But I'm justnot free to speak any accountability. But
they are Americans, yes, Andyou know, having just just just dispersing
with the whole warrant requirement, youknow, makes it easy for those Americans

(01:30:55):
to go after those other Americans.You know, I just drop on Jake
Sullivan here, just drop on myown history as a grunt for Hillary Clinton,
you know, going and working withthe crow. I mean, honestly,
maybe that's what he thinks. Hethinks that, you know, uh,
maybe it's the only thing I get. Eh. Goodness, this is
just there's they're going to be arguingover this tomorrow on the floor. It

(01:31:15):
goes to the floor tomorrow. Thewhole FIZO seven oh two program that's scheduled,
Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act.It's coming up on the floor tomorrow,
Securing America Act. That sounds likeit's important. Yeah, Like securing
America seems important. Securing America atthe expense of Americans liberty, Though,

(01:31:41):
Franklin said that if you think thatyou can have what is it security to
to protect peace, you deserve neither. If you give up, if you
give up liberty to secure peace,you deserve neither. Exactly. So hmm,
we've been talking about the breaking newsthat came out while we were on

(01:32:02):
air about how there's like now aspace threat or something. They're pushing this.
They're pushing this as a way tomanipulate you into voting or to have
your lawmakers vote for this in ridiculousbill, This ridiculous bill that's I mean
again, tons of taxpayer dollars towardsUkraine. And they're saying, no,

(01:32:27):
it's a very concerning, very destabilizingthreat. I like how they're just dripping
it out. They could have saidthat from the beginning. But that doesn't
scare people for an hour, youknow, it doesn't scare them enough for
like an hour or so. Butthey say it's a breakthrough with Russia's space
technology. Very convenient, you know, right after this bill stalls out in

(01:32:48):
the House, and you know allof these others is so convenient. Just
I'm sure it's just you know,I'm sure that it's just a shocker.
This comes here's this Department in adefense statement that came out this morning,
it's the Micheal Missile Defense Agency.Space Development Agency announced the upcoming launch of
six satellites into low orbit Earth fromSpace Space Loss Launch Complex forty in Cape

(01:33:12):
Canaveral. It includes two satellites forNBA's Hypersonic and Ballistic Tracking Space Sensor and
the final four SDA tranch tracking thelayer satellites of its Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture
as part of the National Security SpaceLaunch Program. And then you have SpaceX's
Falcon nine that's delivering the satellites toorbit. Maybe we should put Elon Musk

(01:33:34):
on this. I mean just saying, Howard Hughes served his country, Just
saying maybe some good we could put. Howard Hughes came in clutched on for
something during World War Two. Maybethis is something here, This is something
maybe Musk could deal with. I'mjust saying, it's all the timing on

(01:33:58):
this, This is all interesting.Exactly. That story that you just talked
about came out at the exact sametime that Mike Turner put out that notice
of wanting Biden to declassify information becauseof this threat. So it seems coordinating
it in some way. This isabout space. What Mike Turner's talking about

(01:34:19):
is about space. This is allabout money. This is literally what it
is. It's all about money.So c kine, in order to secure
America's space or space for America orAmerican or whatever, we have to send

(01:34:41):
sixty one billion dollars to Ukraine.Yeah, I guess that's where I'm see.
It's the same principle as putting abunch of cash on a palette and
sending it up to the Sun tocombat the global worming hing. That's what
it. It would block some ofthe sun rays for a little bit.

(01:35:05):
Yeah, you paper over them withthe money. That's why it's very important
to throw money at these things.So see what what what they're going to
do in Ukraine is they're going totake our sixty one billion dollars and just
paper over and suffocate the Russian advancewith it. Oh, take our sixty
one billion and they'll just throw itinto space. That's what they'll do.

(01:35:26):
Yeah, like like they're in thechampagne room making it rain. Yeah yeah,
like just you know dollar dollar bills, y'all. That's that's what they're
gonna go up and do and thenthe and then Russians are gonna go,
oh my goodness, look they're makingit rain in space. We cannot take
go one zero Americans. That's whatthey'll do. And then they'll just some

(01:35:49):
conspiracy theorist out there is gonna say, my Russian accent's too good. I
could have been a spy. Ican have any accent except a tax Texas
accent. I cannot do a Texasaccent to save my life. It's weird.
It's like there, it's like anormal, normal speaking voice, and
then all of a sudden, there'sa drowl out of nowhere, like it

(01:36:10):
comes and it hits you in theface, and you're like, whoa Texas.
That's what That's what it's like.Anyway, So the I they're gonna
have a briefing. I've been askingsome members of Congress, like, what's
up? Is it space Aliens?I really wish it was. It's not
anything that interesting. I mean,I just think if you're gonna freak us
all out, like make it good. Otherwise you're just gonna be the boy

(01:36:32):
who cried wolf, and we're notgonna take you seriously, especially when you
send out a bumbling weasel liar likeJake Sullivan, that Kremlin loving grifter.
When you send somebody like that outjust to peddle this stuff, definitely not
gonna believe you. But I just, you know, I just kind of
feel like it would have been waycooler for space aliens like guys we gotta,

(01:36:53):
I know, think about it.Where would you have been tempted to
say, maybe we can spend somemoney on some of them? I would
still say on our own defense,if it was a giant, you know,
space alienship and the sky getting readyto kill as all. I don't
know, I just feel like thatwould be more. And this is Russia.
They couldn't even steamroll through Ukraine.You think they're going to go up

(01:37:14):
in space and try to get froggygot Lee war inc The fantasies that these
people have. Oh man, Sothe brief, the information with any developments
on that will have for you,and make sure that we we'll share that
with you. But in the meantime, don't let them. Don't be manipulated

(01:37:40):
into thinking this. I mean,I just and the warrantless searches too,
I'm wondering. I means it doesseem like it's kind of tying all of
this together. Oh my gosh,we gotta have these warrantless searches, very
important our security. Oh by theway, here's a risk to our security.
But I'm not I'm not in aposition to tall tell you about it.

(01:38:00):
And then we have to wait forthe slow drip from members of the
press who go, oh, well, it has to do with space and
Russians. Russians in space and capabilities. Yeah. That I think the slow
drip that you talked about is aneffort to probably I mean, they know
they're getting nowhere with this bill,and it's an effort to push this into

(01:38:23):
the weekend, into a weekend newcycle and have some sort of crazy event
between now and wait, what doyou mean crazy event? I don't know
something else that motivates quote unquote peopleto vote yay on the funding. I
am not going to be motivated byanything to be ya on the funding.
It's just not ever going to happen. We'll see what happens, that's side.

(01:38:44):
I got a tinfoil hat. Iget it, but we'll see what
happens. I I there is notanything that is going to make me do
it. That I would be insupport of it. Nothing. I'm not
sending ten billion, ten billion dollarsto Gaza. It's not going to happen.
Not going to happen. For Hamasto go and buy more rockets,
not going to happen. Not sendinganother sixty one billion to Ukraine, not

(01:39:09):
going to happen. There is nothreat that they could use to prevail upon
me, the need that it convincedme to do this. It's just not
gonna I'm not going to support it. It's just stupid, you know.
I think that the security threat isthe people that we don't know coming across
the southern border. That's the securitythreat. And if Republicans were smart,
they'd be running on this issue andpointing to the fact that here's the number

(01:39:32):
of illegal entries on the year beforeBiden actually took over, and now here
in succession these three plus years thatBiden's been in charge and taking away a
lot of those protections at the border. Here are the numbers. Now it's
clear. It's absolutely if they weresmart, And if I don't like engaging
in hypotheticals, you know, butI always say if my aunt had been
she'd be my uncle uh. Butif you know they were smart, they

(01:39:56):
would be out there saying, yes, we agree, there is a national
security threat. We don't know who'scoming to across the southern border. Here's
one terrorist that was known that wasapprehended and released. Here's another terrorist that
was known who was briefly detained andthen released. Here's another terrorist, and
like, throw all that stuff up. That's what they should be doing.
They should immediately be going on hammeringthis. If only there was an organization
that could help the Republicans with messageGene and oh my goodness, I don't

(01:40:20):
even know. By the way,Lorraine has a great piece up about Trump
needs to not be able to pickthe RNC head because his choices are bad,
and she makes a really good explainerfor it. You're gonna be able
to access that here momentarily up atsubstock. It's a good piece and you
need to read it and you needto share it because he shouldn't. And
then, especially after the New Yorkthing, because he helped flip that seat.

(01:40:42):
You can get mad at me forsaying it, but I mean a
third of the people who went outand voted, and this was a seat
that was Republican it's a plus sevenDemocrat district. It went plus two to
Santos and then the Democrat took itplus five. A third of the voters
said the most important issue was stoppingTrump, and twenty seven percent so they
were concerned about threats to democracy.Oh my gosh, but they hate Biden.

(01:41:04):
It's like, who do you hate? More? People are hate voting.
You have to. I don't careif you agree with them or not.
Your job as of a liberty evangelistis to figure out how to message
those people to get the vote theway you want them to. You're gonna
have to work with that. That'swhat you gotta work with. Getting mad

(01:41:26):
and taking your ball and going homebecause they don't like your guy isn't the
way to do it. That's howyou lose. You got to figure out
how to work with that and persuadepeople. Oh my gosh, all right,
we gotta get movie in this Valentine'sDay. I don't. I don't
Valentine's Days. I think goofy.Don't feel bad if you're not doing anything
for Valentine's Day because I normally don'tdo any especially after Parkland, which took

(01:41:46):
place six years ago. A horrifictragedy. I definitely haven't done anything in
Valentine's Day, but it's it's sucha commercialized thing, it really is.
But I'm wearing today, so don'tsend me any more hate mail. There's
three of you who do three it'sa whole three people. But it's like
every week, don't you have anythingother than black? Actually no, I

(01:42:08):
don't. Like my whole closet isjust one solid color. It's a gradient
of black. Probably just one personacting like they're three people. Maybe,
But I'm like, I get somany nice emals, but those are the
ones that I hear. Stop it. So I'm we're in rew today.
Anyway. We got to get moving. Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify or
wherever you get your podcasts, becauseknowledge is your ultimate superpower. Art's.

(01:42:31):
Our thoughts are with the families ofthe three students who were tragically killed one
year ago at Michigan State University,the five students who were injured as a
result of this horrific gun violence,and the countless others traumatized by that day.
Tomorrow also marks another painful tragedy aswe remember the fourteen students and three

(01:42:55):
educators who lost their lives six yearsago at majority Stoneman Douglas High Story in
Florida would give her from Michigan,Florida's American children and educators are being gunned
down in classrooms on college campuses.She doesn't make any mention in communities of
the lives saved in Southern Springs,nor does she mention that it's not an

(01:43:16):
issue of quote unquote gun violence.It's an issue of people who could have
done something not doing anything. Whenyou have over forty eight calls to the
police from the neighbors of the killerthat was in Parkland, let me just
tell you something about Parkland that couldhave been prevented easily without due process,
eroding, red flag laws or anythingelse. The student was so violent he

(01:43:41):
had to have a minder in schoolbefore he dropped out because he couldn't be
trusted to attend classes by himself withoutbeing violent. He had two times held
a gun to other kids' heads.He knocked his own mother's teeth out.
He had made so many threats it'scrazy. It would have been easy to
have rendered him ineligible to the currentlegal pathways. It would have been easy

(01:44:01):
for the police to have intervene,and that shameful scumbag. Scott Israel never
did and he had the audacity toblame me on stage at the town hall,
which happened a week later. Nowit's all on their hands. It's
the killer and them and Robert Runsiwho refused to listen to the secret Service

(01:44:25):
parent who did a risk assessment ofthe school and concluded that it was open,
that it was in danger, andthey didn't do anything. And that
was three months before this massacre.Shame on her. Now we've been following
that story. I'll have updates foryou on substack, chapter and verse about
the space threat from Russia. Butthere's all kinds of stuff coming in.

(01:44:45):
Always wait for things to be confirmedand all of that. And remember you're
being baited. You're being baited.Today's stupidity came, all right, it
is Karine Jean Pierre. Remember yesterdaywhen Biden had come out, did the
press conference and wasn't taking questions andsaid he'd be taking questions today. Well,
the reporter asked about that. Isaid yesterday that he would be taking
questions today or tomorrow. What washe referring to? But I don't have

(01:45:10):
anything to share at this time.You don't have anything to share, so
Biden just says stuff and then youknow, the White House has nothing to
share about it, nothing to share, nothing to share. Of course,
you knew who was going to comeback and answer questions. Folks. That
does it for us today. HappyValentine's Day, God bless Happy ash Wednesday
as well. I'll be back withyou tomorrow
