Speaker 1 (00:00):
My heart goes out obviously that the people with their homes,
and I'm watching the small businesses around us go up
in plains. You know, this is people's livelihoods, so it's devastating.
But what is most concerning to me is our first responders,
in our firefighters who are trying to battle this. There's

(00:21):
no water in the palace, there's no water coming out
of the fire hydrants. This is an absolute mismanagement by
the city. Not the firefighter's fault, but it's by the city.
And I'm going to be very honest. We've got a
mayor that's out of the country, and we've got a
city that's burning, and there's no resources to put out fires.
So if you look at your pictures, you don't see

(00:43):
the firefighters there because there's nothing they can do, and
it looks like we're in a third world country here.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
We have well over five thousand acres that have burned
and the fire is growing. We have no percentage of containment.
We have an estimated one thousand structures destroyed, and also
no reported fatalities and a high number of significant injuries

(01:11):
to residents who did not evacuate. In addition to first responders,
who are on the fire line. We have over one
thousand personnel assigned and the cause of the fire is unknown. However,
it is under investigation.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
Yeah, but the way that you hear the left talk
about it, they act like it's all because climate change
and all of this, when, first off, that's stupid. There's
a major seasonal win that's that's blowing through, and it's
this idea why they always have to make it about
climate change. You know, can you just maybe, I don't know,
contain the fire before you start pimping off it. It

(01:49):
just seems like maybe maybe contain it first, that's a thought.
Contain it first, and then then you can, you know,
try to do your political pimping. But this idea that
because that's all I've seen from anybody about this lately,
is oh, it's all climate change, it's this, it's it's
it's well, and we're going to talk about some of
the causes of this. I've got some flashback articles for you,

(02:13):
because I mean, there's definitely you can definitely uh look
at some of the headlines and and come to uh,
come to a conclusion about maybe what some of the
cause might be. But it's definitely not uh climate change.
So welcome to the program. We got a lot of
stuff to get into. That's just some of the latest
with you. Because there's how many separate fires are there

(02:34):
out there? Yeah, I can't, I can't even I can't
even get there's there's several separate fires. And then they
said that there's there, it's now it's going down. The
fire is now going down towards the Pacific Coast Highway
going it's like near right near Malibu. Uh, there are
a lot of people that we know that have homes

(02:55):
there that are being impacted, and you know, obviously we're
praying for everybody there. I mean, it's just terrifying. And
those things, Uh, the fires that because of the winds,
I was reading that they actually can move at the
speed of something. I read something like it's it's what
a football field are a couple of football fields of second? Yeah,

(03:20):
that's when they when those winds start gusting, that it
moves as fast as a couple of or like a
football field a second. Something to that effect. Because you're
you're talking about thousands and thousands and thousands of you know,
acres that are burning here, so uh, pretty unbelievable, pretty
unbelievable scenes that are coming out of LA and you know,

(03:42):
like we said, there's we've got you know, we've got
listeners in the area, and it's just some of the
video one of the most uh, I think one of
the most viral videos currently that's that's going going through UH.
And I think one is getting ready to show some
of it. Is the guys that are and there there's
there's two guys and a dog and it's yeah, he's

(04:04):
is this, Yeah, this is what he's shown us. So
there's two guys and a dog and it's in the
Pacific Palisades and they are they were able to get
out and to safety, but I mean, it didn't look
like it. And you're seeing that video right now, it
didn't look like it, uh, because that's unbelievable. The fires
were whip whipping around their house. They're in the Pacific

(04:26):
Palisades and it's just it's a terror. It's just truly,
it's terrifying. And they said that the even if you're
planning like they were apparently planning to evac anyway, and
that the speed that the fires we were moving made

(04:47):
it to where it was, I mean, it was impossible
for them to get out in a in a fat
in a timely fashion. I mean, that's you're watching it
right now. That's terrifying, just whipping around the home. And
a lot of it too. You know, you're on kind
of you know, rocky terrain and you're seeing a lot

(05:11):
of a lot of the brush, a lot of the
low lying brush, and a lot of the you know,
in the canyons. Apparently California has had a big fight
with people who've been trying to do some control burning,
to control some of the underbrush and all of this
that you've seen. I feel so bad for the dog
in this video too. I mean, yes, the people, but
that poor dog is noidy. It was had like what

(05:32):
is happening? Can you imagine how hot that is? I mean,
it's oh, unbelievable. So that's one of the things that
we're following. Welcome to the program, Dane Leash with you.
Top of this first hour, the if you wanted to
know where the Los Angeles mayor was, I'm pulling up
this story that I was reading. It's from the other day,
a couple of days ago. Karen Bass is the mayor
of Los Angeles. She's going to be she's in Ghana.

(05:55):
She's attending the inauguration of Ghana's president. She went with
the director of the Office of Management and Budget and yeah,
they went to Uh, they went to Ghana. There in
Ghana right now, chilling, And in the meantime, Gavin Newsom
got blasted. He was conducting I guess a photo op.

(06:20):
I mean a he was, you know there, I guess
with some of his staffers and he was conducting I guess,
having a little photo out there. Well, he was standing
outside looking at the fires. I mean, I'm looking at
some of this now. I mean, it's just it's unbelievable. Uh.
And he was also one of the people who has

(06:42):
in the previously tried to downplay a lot of the
debates as it relates to control burning and land management,
et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. I don't know how
he or Karen Bass politically survive this. It is one

(07:04):
of the I mean, these fires that keep happening. I have, like,
for instance, I have a piece here. Let me pull
this piece up. This is from It's a flashback. This
is a piece that was local media there. It was
published in October this fall. The headline is for service
halts prescribed burns in California? Is it worth the risk?

(07:28):
US four Service directed its employees in California to stop
the prescribed burning for the foreseeable future. They said that
it's meant to preserve staff and their equipment to fight
wildfires as need, if needed, and it was they had
a crucial fall window for planned controlled burns and that
was going to remove fuel and protect homes. And they

(07:50):
said that some people were saying, well, is it going
to increase long term fire risks? Which is a dumb argument,
But I mean you have to be able to get
of the fuel for these fires. I mean that's just,
you know, all there is to it. And this is
something that they apparently they stopped, so that's not the
only flashback. I mean, I have a ton of them.
But you know, another example, in terms of what they're

(08:14):
spending their money on, you were hearing a lot of
these people local media and people who celebrities in LA
and in and around in LA. They were saying that
certain of the like the hydrants were dry, or certain
reservoirs are running dry. Why are they spending their money
on in California? You know that you have to deal

(08:35):
with this every fall and every winter. What are you
spending your money on instead? Well, here's the from the
California High Speed Rail X account. The Fresno River Viaduct
in Madeira County, one of the first completed high speed
rail structures. Oh, they got a piece of it built.
Now it can't go anywhere. It's just a strip of it,
just a strip of rail. I can't believe that they

(08:58):
weren't embarrassed when they post did this. They did sixteen
hundred feet and it took them decades to do it.
They spent sixteen hundred feet for a train that can't
go anywhere yet, billions of dollars. You're seeing the image
right there while showing it to you. That was billions
of dollars and it took over a decade to build.

(09:20):
And it's just that strip. You could not make this
up if you tried. Sixteen hundred feet. And what gets
me is someone was trying to correct in the comments.
They were trying to like save face and say, well,
you know it's it's it's it was nine billion dollars
to build. And someone said, well, nine billion dollars. You know,

(09:41):
they were really careful not you know, to stick to butt,
which is a lie, to stick to budget. It was,
and then California High Speed Rail bumped in. They said
to clarify, it's actually twelve and a half billion, so
people they were actually under I mean you could see
the image. It says domus damp thing ever sixteen hundred
feet nine oh twelve half billion dollars in a decade,

(10:03):
and they built one fourth of a mile of a
completely unusable overpass. I this is what California spends their
money on. This is what they're spending their money on.
There's tons of that, tons of these instances, all the
all of the California politicians that really made a lot

(10:24):
of money off this just unbelievable. So this is you know,
it's these are expected to be catastrophic fires. They're saying
that it's going to be I think something of what
were as bad as the ninety three fires. Everybody keeps
throwing out a different year. I don't live in California,

(10:44):
but everybody keeps throwing out even Californians keep throwing out
a different year. It's just wild dry hydrants. I mean,
you look at some of these headlines. People are complaining
about the dry hydrants. They backed a seven and a
half billion dollar water bond and that was back in
twenty four and then what this was, this piece was

(11:07):
last year The La Times wrote this piece. No water
projects have been built in California. Don't worry. They're moving slowly,
like oh, it's happening. They're just apparently not happening fast enough.
This is what they're dealing with out there. And then
you hear the complaints about the insurance out there. So

(11:27):
in the Palisades area, there are a number of people
that have said that they had their home insurance policies canceled.
And one of the reasons that insurance companies were canceling
the policies is because one apparently was cited as saying
that there was not being enough preventative work done to
potentially contain future fires. We're talking about land management, et cetera.

(11:50):
You keep having fires that are occurring in the same
you know, fairly close to each other places, and it's
I mean, it's being done. What's being done about it?
They're just they're allowing the overgrowth. I mean, this is
these policies are getting people's home insurance canceled. There's a
friend that was saying that his in law's parents, his

(12:11):
in law's home burned down back in twenty ten, and
they were under insured and they couldn't afford to rebuild.
And then after that a lot of people there was
a whole spate of cancelations, and then after that there
were more cancelations. I mean, Gavin Newsom is one of
the absolute worst things that's ever happened to Californians. I So,
if you think this right here, Republicans need to get smart,

(12:34):
because twenty twenty eight starts now. You guys better be
tacking this on his board because he's running. He's running
in twenty twenty eight, and you can watch California right now.
Are those plans that are enabling the disaster that you're
seeing in California. That's what he wants to impart on
all of the United States. So Republicans better be checking stuff.

(12:55):
While they're talking about Greenland and all this other damned stuff,
you better be looking at what's happening to California because
that could spread to the rest of the country. Those policies.
It's our friends over at Superbats, the superberine product. You
guys are very familiar with. Super Beats it's the number
one Beat product in the country. And Superberine this is

(13:16):
like one of their newer products. It helps to support
metabolism and blood sugar levels. It's three times more effective
than your diet and exercise alone. You get real results.
It's super convenient. It's one easy to swallow capsule a
day that helps you do more to support those metabolic
health and blood sugar levels. They use clinically researched ingredients.

(13:39):
They're barbering that they use has nearly ten times a
higher absorption rate than standard burbering and it's used by doctors.
From the makers of Superbats Heart Shoes, So head to
your New York Sam's Club save on super Beats Hart
shoes and the new Superberine from Human It's the Supermarine
Heart choose. Oh yeah, the superbeatsartchooes and the new Superberine product.

(13:59):
One easy to take capsule all from here and you
can get it at Sam's Club.

Speaker 4 (14:03):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
So a second winter storm is threatening parts of Texas
with heavy snow, yeah and ice. Everything is supposed to begin.
Why are they saying Wednesday, because I was told that
it wasn't supposed to happen. I'm looking at the weather
report right now. They were originally saying that it was
going to happen on like midnight Thursday, but now it might.

(14:29):
Don't stop this now what might move in earlier? Shut up? No,
So we got fire on LA. We've got snow and ice.
The headline is Dallas could see historical snowfall in upcoming
winter storm. It could deliver more than a year's worth
of snow to Dallas. They say per Ague Weather that
the city's historical average snowfall is one point six inches

(14:52):
that includes sleep. This is going to bring two to
three times that. I'm mount in hours from Wednesday night
to Thursday night, between nine pm and Wednesday and seven
am Friday, that's the fifty four percent chance of seeing
thirty to six inches of snow. So if you think
that that's not going to bother you, guess what's a
major hub in Dallas that's gonna totally shut down American airlines?

(15:14):
So get ready for flight fun. If you're flying, you're
gonna get screwed over. I'm just letting you know now,
So I need you to go in there with the
full expectation of that. A man was found frozen to
death at a bus stop. Is a winter storm killed
six and Americans brace for the second round a bitter
cold and snow. It's winter storm Blair. That's perfect name

(15:35):
for the storm Blair. Memory is not exclusive to the brain.
Non neural cells also remember, according to a new studying,
So basically, things like your kidney cells can learn and retain.
I guess that pattern that they've learned, so they technically
have a memory. Horrific aiimages reveal what men will look like.

(15:55):
I don't even want to see the women in thirty years.
Due to an ultra processed food diet, they're going to
look like Chris Christie. That's ultimately what they're going to
look like. These horrific AI images like they're honked over.
They they just they it's just they look bad. One's
getting ready to show you tell me that this doesn't
look like Chris Christy. It looks just like him. Yeah, completely,

(16:17):
just like him.

Speaker 4 (16:18):
Book after a night of drinking.

Speaker 3 (16:20):
Yeah yeah yeah. So coming up, Trump announces an investment
into data centers here in the United States. Are there's
gonna be h one B's we're going to talk about that.
We're also going to get into the fact checkers are
freaking out over the fact checking business, and it is
a business. We got that in so much more stick
with us. It's our friends over at Celtech, Caltech the makers. Oh,

(16:40):
they invented the microcompact pistol category, they invented all of that.
They're unveiling some new stuff over at Shatcho as well,
which is going to be later this month. That's a
private industry event, but they have you know, whether it's
the P fifteen, whether it's the P eleven, the P
thirty two. I mean, they've really changed the way people
conceal carry and they have you know, an entirely new
category of high performance KSG shotguns as well, the fuld

(17:03):
and half carbon family, the sub two k's all kinds
of awesome stuff that they've come out with, and they're
going to come out with something new later towards the
end of this month and will we'll have it. You
can also visit Celtech Weapons dot com slash data and
sign up for that cal Tech Insider Eat newsletter and
I see all their social media posts, et cetera. And
that's where you can get updates on the latest innovation

Speaker 6 (17:41):
And so it'll be two seventeen to two fifteen, which
means they cannot afford to lose a single vote. And
they've already suffered the defection of Congresswomen's Sparts from Indiana,
who got so mad about the fact that she wasn't
put on the committee she wanted that she has left
the Republican Conference and is an independent now. And we
haven't even started deliberations yet, So I think we're going

(18:04):
to be in good shape to exploit some of the
conflicts and contradictions going on within the Republican Conference. I
think you probably saw John that the enraged nativist racist
megabase is upset with Elon Musk and the Brolo Garks
who want to bring in tens of thousands more cheap
foreign laborers. And so that's something that's already starting to

(18:28):
explode in terms of the Republican politics.

Speaker 3 (18:31):
But so that's Jamie Raskin who's not saying anything that
I haven't talked about or that I think is like
shocking or not predictable. But he's hitting on something that
is important. And that's what I talked about this on
Joesse Waters program last night. It's the unity on the right.

(18:53):
Welcome back Dana lash with you bottom of this first hour.
This is exactly how things will get gummed up. Publicans
aren't careful, you will have in fighting, which we've already
started to see some of it, and that can be
it can be helped it. Look, it does have to
start from the top down. It does, guys. It really
needs to start from the top down. And I think

(19:14):
that they need to get a handle on any kind
of Everybody's got to be on the same page. We've
already seen two or three slips so far, like one
where you know, you had Van saying that he didn't
have to go and vote for this bill, while Trump
was on true Social saying all senatorship stuff like that.
Everybody needs to get on the same page. Don't give
the left and inch. But here's the big thing. What
Raskin's alluding to right. There is the difference between a

(19:36):
party and a coalition, and I'm not going to lie.
It's uncomfortable. We've never grown up. We don't have parliamentary
style politics in this country. We use some of the
maneuvers in the Senate, you know, in some in the House,
but by and large we have a party system in
a republic and we don't have to make coalitions with

(19:57):
other groups. Well previously we really didn't. We were just like,
if you want most of what you want, then you know,
you better come and vote for us, or that's you know,
you don't really have anybody else. But it's twofold. We
have people who aren't used to coalition style building in politics.
A lot of people talk about it, but they don't

(20:17):
really do it. And you have people who don't know
how to manage and lead coalitions. It's a combination of
two things. It's very difficult to do because everybody wants
their backscratched, and you end up getting people who agree
on eighty percent fighting over the twenty percent. That's Reagan's
infamous rule. My eighty percent front is not my twenty

(20:38):
percent enemy. And you really need to walk that walk now,
especially now because it's not all kittens and sunshine. I
know the right wants to exhale and go back and
go on vacation because in November we want it. Yeah,
that's it, that's right, right, No, that's when the work starts.

(20:59):
I mean, free republic doesn't mean a free ride. Right,
everybody's going to pitch in. Just as I don't like
welfare welfare, I don't like welfare activism either. I don't
like outsourcing activism to just a certain group of people.
Everybody's got to take hold, and if you don't, then
everybody shares the blame. So it's difficult when you have

(21:23):
not grown up with or are accustomed to coalition politics,
because you have all these different factions. You have the
Make America Healthy Again faction, the Make America Great Again faction,
the libertarian faction, the religious right, the agnostic right, the
you know, pro life hardcore pro life faction. You have

(21:47):
the you know kind of like moderate Republican Republican faction.
You've got all these different groups and what needs to
be done immediately first and foremost, or all of the
things that they came together on. People got to remember
why they came together to vote the way that they
did in the first place. This is incredibly important. It's
it's and it's difficult, and a lot of people. One

(22:09):
of the things that Trump's chief of staff said, Susie Wilds,
that she had said to I think it was Axios.
She granted a rare interview to Axios, and she talked
with them and said that, you know, she's telling people
she's trying to get control on all the leaks. And
there was the story that came out where she was
telling people, don't do this, that this is about self aggrandizement.

(22:31):
That's not how she put it. Don't do it if
it's like if you're just trying to enrich yourself or
if you're trying to be a star. She's like, mission first.
I think that's incredibly an incredibly important message to set
right from that inner circle all the way down, because
you have that faction in the right too. Everybody's got
to remember why they came together the vote to vote

(22:53):
the way they did in the first place, and when,
like for instance, the H one B thing this is,
moves from the administration can make it difficult to keep
the coalition together. Trump announced yesterday that they are getting
this massive it's what is it a fifty billion I
can't remember. It's a fifty or ninety billion dollar donation

(23:13):
from this United Arab Emirates businessman who's done a lot
of stuff with the Trumps before. He's they've worked on
hotels together. It's not like they don't know the guy.
But the problem that it that it can create is
these are going to be data centers in a number

(23:34):
of different states. I think they said, like Texas is
one of them. There's a number of different states, and well,
it was going to be at least twenty billion, but
I think it's going to be up more than that.
According to CNBC, Hussein Sjuani is the Amoradi billionaire. He's
with Daymak Properties. He's the one who's going to be

(23:54):
pledging the money to foreign investment to build data centers
across the US and and Sajuani gave an interview he's
a Trump associate. He gave an interview in which he
said they'd been waiting to do this for a few
years because they didn't want to do it under the
Biden administration because it's just been I mean, Biden's just
varying inty business. So the first phase of the plan

(24:16):
is going to take place in Texas, Arizona, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan,
and Indiana and Sajuani. He said that, you know, we've
been waiting four years to increase our investment to very
large amounts of money. He said this when he was
meeting with Trump at mar Lago. He told the press this.
So in addition to that, you have Soft Bank CEO

(24:38):
mase Yoshi's son who announced plans to invest one hundred
billion in the US and create one hundred thousand jobs
over the course of Trump's four year term. So here's
my question. Are these AH to one B visas because
the data center is exactly what typically those are. And
I ask this because America for means Americans first, American

(25:02):
jobs first. We have a ton of people over here,
and if you have foreign workers who are willing to
come in on h one beasts to work for less
than what American workers are, and that's what's ultimately gutting
the jobs in the sector. So no one's talking about that,
no one's mentioned that. I don't know if I mean,
I don't even think that there were any reporters that

(25:25):
asked follow up questions about that. That's incredibly important because
the issue isn't just illegal immigration. The issue is also
an unsustainable amount of people that are allowed a lot
of it's these H one B the tech where it's
not a specific specialize. I mean it's like a low
it's like low level software engineering things like that. So

(25:51):
that's I think that needs to be addressed. And the
reason I bring that up is because the right just
had a big o fight about this over Christmas. Do
not think for one second that Raskin and his underlings
within Congress aren't going to exploit that. And it's an
easy thing to exploit. If I were on the left
and I wanted to divide my opponent and weaken them

(26:14):
through division, I would be hitting this six ways to Sunday.
I would be running ads about it. It would be mentioned,
it would be on the lips of every single politician
of my party affiliation. And then maybe I would find
and hold a press conference with some of these exact

(26:35):
type of workers who would work at these jobs, but
have them be American workers, and then talk about how
American workers they need, American jobs, and et cetera, et cetera.
That's what I would do. So this is where Republicans
have to be careful because it doesn't help if you
have leadership or anybody else give the impression that there
are to be big, giant divisions within the right. There's

(26:56):
things that everybody came together on and look, Republicans are
his shtorically week on immigration. Anyway. I don't want anyone
to get over their skis and think that people somehow
believe or anybody believes that Republicans have been contributed to
this problem. That's a lie. They absolutely have. So why

(27:16):
would we do it more? That's my question. That's one
of the things we've got to be careful of, to
be very, very careful of stuff like this. That's why
everybody needs to get on the same page. You know,
we need to start and the first things that have
to be accomplished are exactly that which brought everybody together,
because it's not just about Trump. Actually it's not even

(27:39):
about Trump. It's supposed to be about the voter, and
it's supposed to be about American principles. When you have
a greater change of success and you actually candemn the
blows that befall the administration by actually altering and correcting
the perspective on this. So of course they're going to

(28:01):
seize this and they're going to try to exploit all
of this stuff. But again, you cannot give they cannot
got to focus on just what brought everybody together, and
then after you accomplished that, everything else because she's got
he's got six months. Now. Another case in point. You
know the Lake and Riley Act that passed. There were
a number of Democrats. Actually, this is in I'm pulling

(28:22):
up my substack. I sent this out. If you're a
subscriber to my newsletter on substack, chapter and verse, you
have this. This is one of the and I and
this is the reason why I wanted to put this
story in here. This is the Democrats that changed their vote.
A handful of Democrats changed their vote on the Lake
and Riley ac at passed the House yesterday. That's very significant.

(28:47):
You had forty eight Democrats and it's more than the
number who voted for it last year. It's going to
be sent to the Senate at past two sixty four
to one fifty nine. There were a number of Democrats
who had opposed it who changed their vote after election.

(29:08):
So this is why I'm telling you he's got six
months mid terms. Yes, they're in two years, but how
long is that election cycle? Folks? Do you honestly think
that some of these House members and some of these
purple states, either Democrat or Republican wherever they're at right now,
they're going to run right back to the center in
six months. You have six months to take advantage of

(29:33):
this power, leverage it before all of these elected officials
start getting too scared of their own shadow to do
anything ahead of their midterm election. It has to be
done now. This is incredibly important. So that's why I
know everyone wants to talk about greenland and everything. And
I'm not discounting that Greenland is. You know, you have

(29:55):
a lot of natural resources and the situation of where
it is. I just that has not been a national
topic of conversation or has it been brought to the
American people as a problem we should consider America first.
Didn't mean expanding America. It doesn't mean expanding government. That's
not the it's not expansionism. That's not what it is.

(30:16):
I mean, it's not like what I voted for. So
I'm just saying, focus on the stuff that everybody came
together to vote for in the first place. That's should
be the only mission for the first six months. Get
through that, get through midterms, and then you can focus
on all this other stuff. I don't want to help
we're asking out. I don't want these Democrats to be

(30:37):
aided by Mission creep. That's incredibly important right now.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
You know.

Speaker 3 (30:43):
I made mention of it last night too, one of
the things that I think actually helps. Even though I
saw people making fun of him for it. Yesterday when
Trump was talking about the low flow shower heads and
all of that, we were kind of we were laughing
about it here, you know, we were we thought it
was funny. But do you know that's actually kind of important,
because that's something that can immediately impact average, everyday Americans

(31:03):
across the country, people who've seen their water bills increase
because of this stupid stuff. The stuff that's supposed to
conserve resources actually makes you use more of it and
makes the resources more expensive. So that has immediate impact.
That's something that shows people, oh there's progress, there's some
there's stuff happening, there's things happening. So those are good

(31:23):
things to do. But we got to stay focused because
six months in the midterm start and elected officials are
scared of their shadows. Again, we got a lot to hit,
including the fact checkers freaking out. We've got that for you.
We're also going to get into a couple of other things.
There's some developments. You know, the FBI was actually looking

(31:44):
at that terrorist before the New Orleans attack. Of course
you knew that was coming. You knew that was you knew.
We got a lot, like I said, to get into
as we move our partners that will bring you the program.
It's tax Network USA. They want to help you out,
you know, because the government, the government claims that they
want to help you out by generously taking some of
your money to pay themselves. And it seems to get

very very aggressive in getting what they think they're owed.
And so Tax Network usay, this is where they come in.
It's the top tax relief expert. They have secured over
a billion dollars in tax relief for clients. So if

Speaker 4 (33:23):
Like SAMs through the Ali Glance. So are the days
of the United States.

Speaker 7 (33:29):
There's a lot of talk about Greenland, for example now,
and I know a lot of there's a lot of freakouts,
you know, and of course I would never support taking
it by force. But I do think it's I do
think it's a responsible conversation if they were open to
acquiring it, and you know, whether they're just buying it
out right, I mean, if anyone think that's bonkers, it's like, well,
well remember the Louisiana purchase. I think Alaska is pretty

(33:51):
pretty a great deal too, fifty million dollars. I think
it was, it was recorded, it was it was referred
to as Seward's folly, and now that was Alaska. Now,
I mean, you know, open to having all kinds of
conversations as well. And now I don't think we it's
not helpful to freak out. But some things might work out,
some may not. But that's part of ongoing dialogue. But

(34:13):
he hasn't even take office in two weeks, and you know,
we really need to pace ourselves if we're going to
freak out over every least tweet or every less conversation
or press conference.

Speaker 3 (34:26):
But I think, I mean, dang, I've never seen anybody.
I mean, I've seen people come back from strokes, you know,
and be you know, really healthy, et cetera. But he's
like the new and improved fetterman. Dude, I don't even

(34:50):
know how to say that. You don't have to keep
saying it.

Speaker 4 (34:52):
He's so correct that Democrats don't like it.

Speaker 3 (34:54):
It's just, you know, good heavens, he's so accurate in that.
Now that doesn't mean that we need the woke right
to run out to him and make him the new
messiah of the right. But you know it, it gives
me hope in that some of the people with whom
I disagree with on a lot of things, maybe they're
not that far gone. You know. I don't know, it's

(35:20):
real weird. I don't know how to because I'm so
used to being on the defense with Democrats, and then
when they say things that are I'm like, wait a minute,
which one of us? Which one of us had the
health issue? Because you sound correct right now? What's happening here?
I know? No, I can't help it. Why I can
be both at the same time, offense and defense. But

(35:40):
what if you just won't want to be on the fence.
I don't know. We got a lot more on the
way second hour coming up. The fact checkers are losing
their minds. You guys losing their minds. We got that
and more. Stick with us, folks who help bring you
the program partners of ours. It's the non firearm firearm
Berne gun. What BURNA does That burne gun emits chemical

(36:02):
irritant projectials that can deter threats from up to fifty
feet away. And it's a great diverse option for self defense.
When your options are limited through no choice of your own,
whether it's a gun free zone or whatever it is,
you want to make sure that you have a little

(36:23):
bit of diversity and that you're able to protect yourself
so you're not becoming a statistic I have a lot
of friends who live in areas where they really try
to control what you can and can't carry, and they've
gone out and gotten the Burna SD, which is Burna's
most popular model. It's a model that a lot of
law enforcement is incorporating as well to have a diverse
array themselves. Five round capacity against chemical irritant projectials. There's

(36:46):
different models. That's just their most popular one. And the
other thing is that it doesn't care about gunfree zone signs.
It's illegal in all fifty states, no background checks, no permits.
They can ship it right to your door, so it's
accessible to everybody.

Speaker 1 (36:59):
This is the.

Welcome back to the program, Dana lash with you or
at the top of this second hour. And been following
a lot of things, including these raging wildfires out in California. Catastrophic.

(37:25):
I mean they said, most of what is it, Pacific Palisades,
most of that area's gone, that's how bad it is.
And the wind gus in some parts are seventy miles,
some eighty miles an hour, some ninety miles an hour,
depending on where you are. I guess around whatever canyon.
And I have friends who live in the area. Some
have evacuated, and they've said that like when they would

(37:48):
just try to go outside, even just to open the
door to see where the smoke was, like, the wind
would almost rip the door off the hinges. It was
that crazy. So it's which is they always have like
wind in that, but they said, this is really unusual,
the winds that are just really pushing this around. So
we're praying for everybody there. We got a lot of
people in our listening audience out there as well. It's

(38:10):
scary thing because it spreads fast. There were stories of
people who were getting ready, who are doing what they're
supposed to do, and they're evacuating, but then the winds
would pick up and the fire moved in so fast
that they're not even they weren't able to get everything
and get out, or they were able to barely just
get out. They said that they move it's like a
football field a second or something crazy. I can't even

(38:30):
imagine that. I can't even imagine that. That's insane. So
we're watching all of this. Welcome back again to the program.
I wanted to play some audio for us is flashback
audio because one of the big you know, I know
everybody in California is dealing with all of that, but
people in DC are immediately trying to politicize it. And
you have the left out there, people like Bernie Sanders
saying it's because of climate change, and it's because of

(38:52):
this and that, which come on. But actually there's audio
that's out there, and we have the where Trump was
This was a couple of years ago. A few years ago.
He was telling Gavin Newsome back when he was president
about the need for California to send more water downstate

(39:15):
and incorporate better land management practices, something that Newsome never did.
They spend billions on a high speed rail project that
went nowhere. Listen to this, this is audio some by ten.

Speaker 8 (39:30):
And you have so much water and all those fields
that are right now barren, the farmers would have all
the water they needed, and you could revert water up
into the hills where you have all the dead forests,
where the forests are so brittle, because no places like California.

Speaker 3 (39:44):
I go to Austria.

Speaker 8 (39:46):
The head of Ostria tells me, you know, we have
trees that are much more flammable than what you have
in California. We never have forest forest because they maintained
their forests. And you have all that water that could
be used to as what they call waterflow where the
you know, where the land would be damp, and you'd
stop many of these horrible fires that are costing billions

(40:09):
and billions of dollars by the federal government, et cetera.
So one thing I'm going to do for California. Vote
for me, California. I'm going to give you safety, I'm
going to give you a great border, and I'm going
to give you more water than almost anybody has. And
the farmers up north, they're going to be able to
use one hundred percent of the land, not one percent
of their land.

Speaker 3 (40:27):
Hmmm, he's not wrong. I mean it's he's not wrong.
And what did Gavenusom and Democrats do, Well, they didn't
really do anything. They they well, they spent twelve and
a half billion dollars on sixteen hundred feet of rail

(40:50):
that took ten years to build that you can't actually
put a train on because it's just one unusable overpass
in the middle of a field, not even making it up.
They spent a lot of money, billions upon billions of
dollars on this rail project, which honestly was just a
way for them to enridging themselves off the taxpayer. They
didn't really do I mean, they haven't done a whole

(41:11):
lot with regards to They did some control burns a
year ago, which, by the way, I would correct myself,
that was when Trump was out there speaking about this,
but a little bit before when he went out there,
they had some controlled burns in and around Malibu, but
they apparently do not do them enough to what US
Forestry had asked and a lot of this stuff. And

(41:32):
this is really important to note. A lot of times
there's a difference between state controlled land obviously and federally
controlled land. And apparently this their water management obviously is
a major issue. But these fires, by and large start
on federal land. I had a friend who made this point,

(41:55):
and then I went and looked back at previous fires
when they when they go and they look at and
then they come up with a forensic you know, summation
of everything at a lot of them start on federal land.
In federal land. That's a whole other issue, the land
management on federal land in these areas. And apparently under
Joe Biden, they were canceling right and left very important

(42:19):
controlled burns. And this was just as recently as fall
I shared one of those stories with you for a service.
Halts prescribe burns in California. They're worried about the risk.
They're willing to trade the risk for increased risk on wildfires.
If something bad happens, they're much less likely to be
blamed because they can point the finger at mother Nature. Wow,

(42:41):
they were canceling some of what they were One of
the reasons that was given they were trying to what
fot it was like an environmental reason or they were
trying some fish or what. I don't even care. Kevin Newsom,
there's a video of him bragging about how they altered
their water. What is it? This like their whole system
of getting water downstate because they were trying to save
some damn fish or something like that. I just I

(43:05):
don't know. I'm it is. It's amazing to me how
so many years of Democrat administration and the state, every
single time there is a wildfire that is beyond containable,
you can always look and see some land management policies here,

(43:26):
some land management policies. I read stories that people are looting.
They're not looting, They're getting bread. That's what we were
told by all the people who can I just say,
the people who live in these areas. When we had
the summer, the Hot Summer series, burn, loot, murder, and
people were busting into stores. I was told by the
left that this was just these people getting bread. So

(43:48):
are they just looting these mansions and Pacific palisades for bread?
That's what I was told. That's what looting is. It's
not looting. That's a very mean term.

Speaker 4 (43:55):
It's mostly peaceful procurement of things what they call it now?

Speaker 3 (43:59):
Yeah, uh, peaceful involuntary procurement. Yeah, that's what it is. Yeah.
Uh p I p pip A little pip A little
peaceful involuntary procurement happening here, That's what it is. We're
gonna they're just out there, pippin, pip in. There's no

(44:19):
M in it now, there's no M. I don't know
what them would be. Yeah, huh huh. Peaceful involuntary procurement,
big pippin, that's it. So they're just out there getting bread.
That's what I told, right, That's what it's. The President

(44:41):
currently and first Lady apparently going to they're at the
Cedars Sinai for the birth of their first grandchild apparently,
or they're a great grandchild, the first the birth of
their first great grandchild. So they're I guess they're out
there so they're gonna recognize that with grand baby. That's
a grand baby, a great grand baby that gets recognized

(45:01):
just saying I don't know, I this whole thing is
pretty amazing. Uh. And the insurance disaster is because so
many of these homes were uninsured because of this type
of stuff. One of this the real estate developer named
Rick Caruso. He called into LA local news. He said

(45:22):
it was like a third world country. There's no water
coming out of the fire hydrants. LA mayor Caaren bass
is on a foreign trip to Ghana, which she is.
She's there for the inauguration of their president. Is she
ever actually in LA when stuff goes sideways? Wasn't she
out the last time that they had? Yeah? I thought so,
I thought so. So it's terrifying. We're praying for everybody there.

(45:43):
But I'm telling you, I don't know what they're spending
their money at.

Speaker 2 (45:46):
Well.

Speaker 3 (45:46):
I got some ideas. I gave you the example of
one high speed rail thing, how they were They spent
maybe what it was twelve and a half billion on
sixteen hundred feet the high speed rail that they announced
in twenty ten. It's twenty twenty five. They have spent
over one hundred and thirty billion taxpayer dollars and it's

(46:09):
been over fifteen years and they have sixteen hundred feet
of an unusable overpass. That's all they have. Okay, Wow,
and this guy wants he wants to run for president,
so just look at he's the he's their golden boy.
In twenty twenty eight, it's Gavin Newsom, he's their guy.

(46:32):
Look at California. Do you want that for all over
the US and twenty twenty eight because that's what you're
gonna get. I mean, you even have hardcore like celebrity
Democrats that don't like him out there. I want to
switch gears because we're gonna be We're gonna continue to
watch this stuff. But we've got to talk about the
fact checkers. I'm telling you what I have to admit.

(46:52):
I did not know how much money these people made.
Did you guys know this? They had They were making
a lot of money on fact checking. So for instance,
there were some I don't even want to say the
name of the site. It's like a bunch of Republicans
that aren't really Republicans. They just have Trump arrangement syndrome.

(47:13):
And they created a right leaning website and they apparently
were hired by I guess Facebook, and they were acting
as uh, fact checkers for Facebook. And they were and
it ended up being something like over five percent of

(47:34):
what they were of what they made, that's how much
money they made. And you guys know, the fact checking
stuff was stupid. I mean, even on my personal Facebook page,
I would be fact checked over stuff it's asinine. But
they Peter Hassan did a deep dive into this. PolitiFact
for instance, is so mad. They had a very cushy

(47:57):
gig and they got it's unclear he says the exact
amount that they were being paid, But they made a
lot of money. They got a lot of revenue off
of off of PolitiFact for Facebook, they made a lot
of money. Meta paid them to do. They paid them
to fact check memes for crying out loud, to fact
check like the Babylon b They said that. So there

(48:19):
were organizations that contributed more than five percent of total
PolitiFact revenues. Meta was like their top that's crazy. And
they're mad because they were getting money for just being contrarians,
that's it. And they were garbage. I mean, they were
the people responsible, for instance, for my page being targeted,

(48:40):
or when I was briefly suspended because I literally shared
the New York Post piece on Facebook that was an
accurate piece. That's the kind of stuff. And they're mad
because they can't control they can't control the information anymore.
They had a whole industry, there was a whole industry
on it, thousands and thousands of dollars exchanging hands, and

(49:03):
they were calling it fact checking, but it's was really
it's it's propaganda. This is going to make your life easier.

dislike the Rube Goldberg machine that is our healthcare system,

Speaker 3 (50:49):
So this comes from one of our listeners, Pets an
Indiana woman, an alleged drunk driver found stuck in the snow,
She berated, arresting her. Arresting office is calling them the
double and saying they were a part of the steep,
the deep state. Uh yeah, that's never a good way
to try to argue yourself out of uh getting She
said she only drank three shots of tequila. Come on, like,

(51:13):
were they double shots? I mean, I feel like, you know,
I don't know if I'm gonna trust her on that.
I gotta say, I gotta be honest, I don't know
if I want to trust her on that. AI's next
leap requires intimate access to your digital life. No thanks.
Tech companies are trying to race trying to upgrade. They're
racing to upgrade chatbots like chat GPT to even take

(51:37):
control of a computer, Uh, to take action on someone's behalf.
I think people need to be really, really careful with
this stuff. Just gotta say. They said that they're trying
to make it better, and that's you know, that's that's
the need. It's a very ambitious goal. I'm telling you,
this is gonna turn around. It's gonna get out of control,
and it's gonna it's probably already out of control, and

(51:57):
we just don't know it. You know, it's when you
read some of the editorials talking about need to contain
this stuff, and they're from programmers in these really well
known you know, engineers that have contributed so much to
the advancements that we see in software programming, et cetera.
It's terrifying when you like read some of what these

(52:19):
people are saying. A major country has reintroduced strict COVID
rules because of the NOOTHERN Chinese virus. Yes, uh, they
said that a number of states are already trying to
implement some of this stuff. Chinese governments trying to manage
what they say is the surgeon cases. There are a

(52:40):
couple of countries where they're trying, they're issuing warnings and
some of these there's I think in India they are
as well. This is a wild to see some of
this stuff. I mean, they don't even know what it is.
But here they're already making the same mistakes that we've
seen that we saw what they did during COVID outcry.
Is an Arizona tattoo shop tattoos and nine year old

(53:00):
girl who wanted a picture of Trump on her neck.
I mean, I'm not against tattoos, Why are you nine
and getting a Trump tattoo on your neck. They artist
shared video of the process, and he said, do a
more patriotic tattoo, maybe a flag on your arm or something.
But she said, nope, she wants it on her neck.

(53:21):
So that's apparently she wanted to get it. Apparently they
were able to. I guess she did it on her
arm instead. She changed her mind. They traveled to Arizona,
where kids can get tattoos if they have parental permission.
But you know, if you wanted to chop off your
willie and be a chick, then you don't need to
tell mom and dad. I mean, that's how the rule is.
So she got just a tattoo on her arm of

(53:42):
a flag. She wanted Trump on her neck originally, but
she ended up getting the still though, come on, that's
a little that's a little much. Let's see. A Los
Angeles vegan chain abruptly closed all their locations. They got
in trouble because they added meat to the menu. I'm

(54:05):
looking at their food netloks gross, it looks like dune
and some vegetables. Yeah, they ended up the sage restaurant.
They ended up having to abruptly shut all their locations.

Speaker 9 (55:32):
It's not my expectation to have any conversation at any
point today, but we are looking forward to the dialogue
to come in the next few weeks and thereafter to
find the common ground necessary in order to get things
done for the American people. House Democrats believe that we

(55:56):
are not sent to Washington to invade Greenland renamed the
Gulf of Mexico, or seize the Panama Canal by force.
We were sent to Washington to lower the high cost
of living.

Speaker 3 (56:15):
Oh no, now you're concerned about it. Hold up, hold on,
where was this cat at when everyone was like, woy,
my grocery is so expensive. They were acting like it
wasn't a big deal. But now all of a sudden
they're not. They're not no longer going to be in
power in a week and a half. So there, now
they're concerned about the high cost of living. Whatever.

Speaker 4 (56:36):
Before November, the economy was great.

Speaker 3 (56:38):
Yeah, it was great. What happened? Well, since that time.
Trump didn't even office yet. You can't. He's not even
in office yet. That's a keen Jefferies, Welcome back to
the program. Dane, last with you. I mean, I think
I didn't I don't want expansionism. I didn't vote for expansionism.
I voted for America first. And I feel like, right now,

(57:00):
if it's not anything that we voted for, it's not
one of the animating issues around which everyone coalesced, then
it needs to be kicked in the back of the
list right now. However, I do think it's been funny
to watch. I'm torn because I keep thinking, gosh, this
is it's just let's focus. But I also think it's funny.

(57:20):
I think it's funny because after Trump started talking about it,
I don't know what the Danes thought they were doing.
But King fredericks it, wait a minute, has he been
the one? Hold up? Hold up? Is this the guy
who got in trouble with his wife? Hold up?

Speaker 2 (57:35):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (57:35):
It is so the Danish king If you don't know this,
And the only reason I know this is because of
the trash British tabloids. So Frederick got caught like two
years ago in staying overnight at his Spanish lady friend's apartment.
I think they were in Madrid, and they went out
and had dinner and did all this, and they went
back and he didn't leave her apartment till the morning.

(57:56):
Well they're old friends. You know, how many of you
married out there? That would fly? How would that fly
with you? Just yeah, uh huh. Anyway, his wife is Australian,
but she speaks the language and she's she's very well
revered in Denmark anyway, So they've had some drama. So Frederick,
he's the king of Denmark. His mom abdicated the throne.

(58:20):
I think her name is Marguerite, so he took over.
And after Trump started talking about all of this, he
decided that he was going to change the coat of
arms to more accurately reflect Greenland AND's an important position
to the country. So what they did is they made
the bear bigger. The Danish coat of arms features a bear,

(58:45):
which is the symbol of Greenland and the ram and
a symbol of the Pharaoh Islands. And now that the
bear's bigger. At first it was just tiny little bears,
two little bears in the bottom left panel, and now
it's a big dry bear and they've got the two
dudes with the club standard. I just am fascinated by
these So they up they updated their coat of arms, like,

(59:06):
oh look what we did. We made it a bit bigger.
That's will show you Trump. It's not probably the most
accurate Danish accent, but it's the best I can do
under the circumstances. So I I do you think that's
gonna he's that just seems silly? Is that silly? It's
as silly as what Trump is saying. I think because

(59:28):
I don't give a rats ask about going into Greenland
right now, just like just can we just like make
reciprocity a national thing and lower tax like get rid
of taxes. That'd be great.

Speaker 4 (59:38):
I see his point on national security. If you got
Russian and China ships roaring around up there in North
America where there would be a national security concern, I
don't see it, and I don't think he's ever articulated
it as us going in and invading green When the.

Speaker 3 (59:52):
Hell did it ever happen that it was a priority,
Like all of a sudden, we're like, okay, we all
voted in November, right, we're gonna have We're gonna we're
gonna secure the border. We're gonna build the wall, right, Yeah,
we're gonna build wall. We're gonna make grocers affordable again.
We're gonna make America healthy again. We're gonna bring back
Mexican coke for everybody, not the booger sugar, but the soda.
And then he's like, yeah, Okay, what the best I

(01:00:14):
can do is Greenland.

Speaker 4 (01:00:17):
The pondstars.

Speaker 3 (01:00:20):
Like, and we're all scratching our heads, like, what the
hell I didn't Greenland wasn't I'm checking notes one on
the list.

Speaker 4 (01:00:27):
Well, I know that the Article one, section eight of
our Constitution definitely lays out the responsibilities of these who
are federal government.

Speaker 3 (01:00:35):
I think if you're gonna make that argument, they got
to make the case, imp And.

Speaker 4 (01:00:37):
That was my next point. If he's not contextualizing why
because we're small government, why are we expanding.

Speaker 3 (01:00:43):
Government to an expansionism.

Speaker 4 (01:00:45):
Yeah, this is expansionism. So he's got to contextualize why
this is important and why this falls under the purview
of you know, the executive branch here as it relates
the Article one, section eight.

Speaker 3 (01:00:56):
I sure as hell don't want Canada no offense. Can
we got some of you listen I like you guys,
and I like that Pierre polar Air, I like him
a lot. But I don't want Canada. I don't want it.
There's nothing I want up there, nothing I want. I
don't want the damn liberalism. I don't want the crap healthcare.
I don't want all those damn liberal votes. I don't

(01:01:16):
want Canada. Don't want it, don't want the cold, don't
want the bears. Don't want it, none of it. Don't
don't I syrup, and Canada is not a victim. I
mean what.

Speaker 4 (01:01:30):
They've got, good lumber and good syrup.

Speaker 3 (01:01:33):
I don't care about the syrup. I don't even like
pancakes syrup. I don't even like maple syrup. I don't
like it. It's weird. It's tree juice. It's weird.

Speaker 4 (01:01:44):
You don't like maple syrup. No, no, I forever hate
going to be looking at you through.

Speaker 3 (01:01:52):
Like I'll eat eat a pancake plane. I won't put
nothing on it. For some reason, they give me a
fruit compote, you know, but I don't want to know
syrup on It's weird. It's like, would you like some
diabetes pour some diabetes juice all over your pancake all
over your carbs. Yeah, I'm not.

Speaker 4 (01:02:12):
So sure that maple syrup gives you diabetes, does it?

Speaker 3 (01:02:15):
It has sugar, it's like sugar.

Speaker 4 (01:02:17):
Yeah, but it's not like bad like fan and the
sugar and crack of all the sugars that exist. It's
not the worst one out there.

Speaker 3 (01:02:23):
It's pretty bad though, Like what, you don't need it?
You don't need it. It's just why do we eat it?
I don't get, like, what the hell do we do
some of the stuff that we do. We drink nut milk.
It's weird. It's not milk. It's just dirty nut water.
That's all it is, right, Like it's all weird. It's
all weird. Why do we do We are so no
wonder the aliens stay hidden. Hell, I wouldn't want to

(01:02:46):
be like these all. I want these people to be
in my front. Have you seen us? We're are weirdos. No,
I mean I'm a human and I'm like, ugh, just
thank you. Anyway, back to this. I just love this
little Danish king, this little light and his loafers looking
feller Who's like, I'm.

Speaker 10 (01:03:07):
Going to change to the coult of alms. I give
you to bed abys bigger. Now you can't take Greenland's
a base bigger. Someone asked, by the way, we have a.

Speaker 3 (01:03:20):
Lorraine informs me we have a good kind of a
raid happening in the show chat which happens in Rumble,
by the way, which you can join. Someone asked if
Greenland is Greenland's gonna get named mara Igloo a little
he cave. I don't know, little hel it's a he glu.

(01:03:42):
I mean, I just am not interested in the expansionism.
But I do think it's hysterical that they're like, oh, yeah,
well we change our coult of alms. Most Americans are like,
the hell is a coat of arms? What what is that?
Even like, oh, you made the bear bigger. Nobody knows
what that means except those people right like, that's not
going to do it. That doesn't create a magical force

(01:04:04):
field around Greenland. Oh we can't touch them because they
made the bear bigger on the coat of arms. There's
no more vikings anymore. Stop, no one's afraid. Good heavens,
But I don't want. I don't really think. I don't care.
And renaming the Gulf of Mexico, is that gonna make
the irs go away? Because if it does, then I'm

(01:04:26):
all for it.

Speaker 4 (01:04:26):
I'm just interested to find out we call it.

Speaker 3 (01:04:29):
The Gulf of f Off is what we should call it?

Speaker 4 (01:04:33):
Well, rename it? Why not name it the Gulf of America?
And by the way, how much work did that?

Speaker 3 (01:04:38):
Name it something scary so no one wants to come
through it, like the Gulf of their straight up monsters here, that's.

Speaker 4 (01:04:44):
The gulf of it, gulf of death and the.

Speaker 3 (01:04:47):
Gulf of death. Just saying, what were you gonna say?

Speaker 4 (01:04:51):
I was going to ask, like how much effort really
goes into renaming it? Like, are we really like wasting
a ton of time because we decided to rename.

Speaker 3 (01:04:59):
I just don't know what, because who do you go
to do that? Who do you like to do? Is
there like a is there an old man who lives
up in a mountains somewhere and you gotta climb all
the steps and be like, I would like to change
the name of this golf. How does that work?

Speaker 4 (01:05:14):
I think you just declare it and then the agreement
of others.

Speaker 3 (01:05:18):
Well, then why can't we just constantly declare stuff?

Speaker 4 (01:05:21):
I think we do.

Speaker 3 (01:05:22):
I don't think that's how that works.

Speaker 4 (01:05:24):
A lot of declarations over the years, and a lot
of them go against science.

Speaker 3 (01:05:27):
So you're telling me the next time I'm fishing out
in the Caribbean, if I come across an island that
no one else is ons ees, why not? I mean
until their military shows up, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:05:37):
Well, if it's somebody's, then yeah, I guess so.

Speaker 3 (01:05:39):
But what if it's is it somebody's, I mean you're
talking about squatting.

Speaker 4 (01:05:43):
If it's nobody's, then you got to deal with, you know,
entities like China.

Speaker 3 (01:05:47):
I'm all for saying that the golf is ours. Pirates, Yeah,
pirates aren't as cool as used to be. No, I'm
all for saying that the golf is ours, right, because
we're the it's ours, like, we're all over there and
we're bigger than everybody else, so, you know, stuff off.
But what is it accomplish? Wasn't it the Golf of
Pensacola at one point, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:06:08):
I thought it was named the Gulf of Mexico, and
that's our first recorded naming of that area.

Speaker 3 (01:06:14):
But I don't have the golf of your mom and
just use that as an insult to every you know, tyrant,
every foreign tyrant.

Speaker 4 (01:06:21):
It'd be a waste of time. If government was doing
what you're saying.

Speaker 3 (01:06:24):
I just don't know how like what that does. Again,
if you're like Dana, do you know that all you
have to do to accomplish all these things that you
voted for is just change the name of the damn
golf woman. Just do it, and I'd be like, Okay,
I'm convinced. I want to see that magic happen. I'm
totally convinced, but right now, you know, I just don't know.

(01:06:44):
I just don't. But I sure as hell don't want Canada,
all right, Okay, I don't want them.

Speaker 4 (01:06:50):
But I envisioned Trump having his daily list like this,
to do this honeydew list every day from his day one,
you know what I mean? And I think like number
twelve on that list is probably renaming the I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:07:01):
I do think it's funny that Denmark decided to immediately
give Greenland a whole bunch of money for defense. I
don't know if you guys saw this, but hang on
Hoo pulled this up. This is hysterical. So Denmark, after
Trump was saying all this stuff, they boosted Greenland's defense
after Trump started talking, so they sent a package that

(01:07:25):
they said was in the double digit billion amount in
kron The Danish defense minister Trollsalnz Pulsen. That's not I know.
I'm doing the best I can with the Danish I
can't do it. Everything sounds like that that guy from
the Frozen movie. It's a double digit billion amount, it's
only a fate. So there they they said that there

(01:07:49):
were planning all of a sudden, a stronger presence into
Arctic is what they're saying. So they're including increasing staffing,
an art of command in the capital of Nuke, which
is right where Junior went. I can't do a Danish
accent Nuke. I can do like ten accents really well,
and that's about it. This is not one of them.

(01:08:12):
They said that it's going to be about twelve to
fifteen billion dollars or krone, and it was the day
after Trump was trolling about it on on true social
So now all of a sudden they just decided, oh, well,
we're just going to boost the defense here. This is
all I don't know, but is I'd not say I

(01:08:37):
what if that was the goal? Everything is so stupid
and crazy. What if it was the goal? Because if
that was the goal to get these nations to spend
more on their own defense. Then why not just threaten
all of them with taking them over and then they'll
be like, oh, we'll spend all these NATO nations will
suddenly start contributing more to their self defense so they
don't have to be our welfare children anymore. I'm just saying,

(01:08:58):
you know, I don't know, I don't know. I just
I just let's just accomplish what we need to accomplish
now and then later, you know. But changing the coat
of arms is hysterical, is absolutely hysterical. All right, We've
got more on the way as we roll towards headlines,
and as we do, so are partners that help bring

(01:09:20):

Speaker 4 (01:10:30):
It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida Man.

Speaker 3 (01:10:39):
So I'm trying to understand. So this is an NBC
to local affiliate out there in Florida. Cape Coral Man
was arrested after he claimed that his house was poisoned
and attempted to break into another house. How do you
poison a house?

Speaker 1 (01:10:53):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (01:10:53):
The victim was seen trying to open a locksliding door
on the back of the home. The victims said he
confronted the guy was told in it, told him that
he was armed, and that's when the intruder ran away
from the scene before officers arrived. The guy, Antonio Cruz
upper Riccio, he was attempting to gain enter into a home.
He was yelling for help seeing that his house was poisoned.

(01:11:15):
They had actually had a tasing beginning under control, and
they found his wallet at a separate residence. So he
got charged a couple charges burglary resisting with violence. Yeah,
that's kind of freaky. Just I didn't even I mean,
obviously they probably did a mental health check on him.

Speaker 6 (01:11:33):
This.

Speaker 3 (01:11:34):
Let's see, I got a couple of other ones. This
is oh. A Florida woman was arrested after she accidentally
texted a sheriff's apartment instead of her drug dealer. That
can happen, I'm sure to people like Octavia Wells, forty
one years old. She sent a text message trying to
get fentanyl before leaving town. Apparently, though she accidentally texted

(01:11:57):
an arcotics investigator within the share of office, and oh boy,
the investigator adeptly engaged her in conversation masquerading as her
drug dealer, arranged to meet with her. She went to
the gas station thinking she was meeting her drug dealer,
and instead she was met with a team of investigators

(01:12:18):
and she was taken into custody because they charged with
the whole bunch of stuff. And I don't know if
like buying with the intent to distribute was part of it.
But this, let's see a couple. There's a Lee County
man that got in trouble for slashing tires following a
road rage incident. Thirty seven year old Matthew Tobler. He

(01:12:42):
was slashing tires of a vehicle, according to Lee County
Sheriff's Office, and he was making obscene gestures hand gestures
at nearby motorists and when a victim said that he
why would you approach the vehicle, there was an incident.
A vehicle victim approached that Tobler's vehicle, he got out
of the car, began threatening in with a knife, and

(01:13:04):
then started slashing his tires before leaving the scene. So
they were able to take what the hell is wrong
with it. I'm gonna tell you what. People can't drive,
that is for sure. I've got some stories. I actually
have a story that have in me over Christmas that
I'll share when I'm able to share it. But yeah,
people cannot drive. And let's see in Saudi Arabia is
pressing a Floridian will a man in Florida to give

(01:13:27):
up his US citizenship over critical tweets. It's with Florida retiree.
He made social media post critical of the crown prince
and Kassaudi Arabia doesn't have the same kind of you
know speech. Interesting stick with us. Third hour on the way,

Speaker 1 (01:14:44):
My heart throws out obviously to the people with their homes,
and I'm watching the small businesses around us go up
in planes. Knows is people's librihoods. So it's devastating. But
what is most concerning to me is our first responders,
in our firefighters who are trying to battle this. There's

(01:15:05):
no water in the palaceate, there's no water coming out
of the fire hydrants. This is an absolute mismanagement by
the city, not the firefighter's fault, but it's by the city.
And I'm going to be very honest we've got a
mayor that's out of the country, and we've got a
city that's burning and there's no resources to put out fires.
So if you look at your pictures, you don't see

(01:15:27):
the firefighters there because there's nothing they can do. And
it looks like we're in a third world country here.

Speaker 3 (01:15:35):
This is crazy. Apparently, according to the La Times, by
three am this morning, all the fire hydrants in the
Palisades area were dry and it's burning. That's according to
the chief executive and chief engineer of the LA Department
of Water and Power. So Rick Caruso, who you just

(01:15:56):
started speaking there, who can bass won over him? Going
for mayor of LA. He's a big developer in Los Angeles.
He's like, all there's no water. I mean you you
it all the amount the money that they spend in
California and they're right by a nocean and they have
no water. Welcome back to the program, Dane Lash with

(01:16:19):
you at the top of this third hour. And that's
that's the story. LA Times has the excuse from LA
City officials. They're blaming what they say is tremendous demand. Yeah,
that's what happens when you don't properly manage your land

(01:16:39):
and then you have a big fire that breaks out.
They said that the one fire, one fire in the
area alone, how many thousands acres? Did I say that
was over eleven thousands? Like eleven thousand acres is now
eleven thousand acres? Big. I'm trying to just imagine that
size of a fire. Imagine it. It's I think it

(01:17:02):
was over ten thousand, six hundred acres, so basically eleven
thousand acres. I'm just trying to imagine the size of that.
And they're growing still. And yet by three am today,
all the fire hydrants per La Times in the Palisades
were dry. And they're getting criticized justifiably. They said that

(01:17:29):
they don't have enough firefighters. The city officials are being
criticized for quote chronic underinvestment in infrastructure and public safety
end quote. I mean it's the ice is unbelievable. Yeah.

(01:17:52):
The first tank that they had ran dry Tuesday. The
second the first tank that they had, they have three
large water tanks. They have about a million gallons in
each of them. The first one ran dry four forty
five pm Tuesday evening, the second at eight thirty pm
Tuesday evening, and the third was dry by three am
this morning, and they said that there's there's so they're

(01:18:15):
not able to. They're not able to. They're out. And
they spent a lot of time on DEI and doing
all kinds of stuff that nobody ever needed. K notes
and this is a couple of different sources on this.
They were they had the fire department funding, their their
funding was cut by Karen Bass by over seventeen million

(01:18:37):
dollars in just the most recent city budget alone, and
they were focusing on all of these DEI initiatives. They
were tweeting out like their fire department and their other
city officials. They were they were tweeting out, how, oh, well, yes,
it's very important that we, you know, we we need
to make sure that we're prioritizing hiring black firefighters. It's like,

(01:19:00):
why don't you just prioritize hiring firefighters? Who gives a
rats ass whether they're black or white or whatever. People
are burning to death and everybody's freaking out of her
identity politics. Bass actually wanted more money cut. Isn't that crazy?

(01:19:24):
She cut seventeen point six million from the city's fire
department budget for the twenty four to twenty five fiscal year.
This is according to the New York Post, and it
was supposed to be And the Post added that they
she actually wanted a twenty three million dollar cut. Wow,

(01:19:45):
and now you can kind of see. You know, they
don't have enough firefighters. They don't have you know, they
have no idea where their tax dollars are going. They
and looking at the some me pull up another the
tax dollars. People are like, oh, where did the tax
dollars go? They spent it on Well, of course, after

(01:20:07):
they helped create all of the riots, they had to
spend it on policing, housing, big city budget goes to housing, communication,
investment for families, whatever the hell that means. They're actually
in the red on sanitation, fire, street services, you know,

(01:20:30):
the stuff that your tax dollars are. Actually, this is
why people don't like property taxes. By the way, property
taxes are Communist, anti American, and any Republican that does
not go on record and wanting them abolished is a Marxist.
You're just you can't be a little Marxist. You're either
a Marxist or you're not. Republicans need to grow some balls.
I'm so tired of this stupid moderate crap all your

(01:20:54):
property tax especially in Los Angeles, they're not going for anything.
What the hell is this? Like I'm looking at this
is according to their city controller. They personnel cannabis Regulation
and Ethics Commission. They have their city planning, communication or whatever,

(01:21:16):
community investment over the hell that is welfare, housing, a library.
That's where they spend most of their money. Street services,
fire sanitation, public works, street lighting, things like that. That's
you know what you the agreement is that you pay
your taxes and then they handle that. That's what they

(01:21:37):
They're not there. They cut millions upon millions upon millions
from those things. Those are at the bottom of the
list of priorities. This is according to the city controller's
own data. This is wild, absolutely wild to me. So
what's the point of it? What's the point of it?

(01:22:00):
It just it's you know, I keep thinking of this. There.
It came out the Biden administration they're going to announce
the final half a billion dollars for Ukraine. Meanwhile, what wildfires?
What Hurricane Helene damage? What fires out in Hawaii? You know,

(01:22:21):
what about the chemical spill in Ohio? I mean, what
about any of those things? Yeah, yeah, no, no need.
So apparently Karen bass is going to be arriving in
La She's coming back from you know, her party in Ghana.
Is she bringing water with her? She's going to be

(01:22:41):
back and then apparently I don't know if she's gonna
have a press conference or not. But good heavens, this
is this is what these policies get you. This is
what happens. This is what these policies get you. And
the governor of the state is trying to already put
himself in position for twenty twenty eight. I mean, I

(01:23:06):
just I'm amazed at just the massive mismanagement of money.
But that's Democrats. They didn't even really know what started
these fires. They haven't even gotten to that point yet.
They're just trying to contain it. They have no idea.
I mean, what if it was an act of terror.

(01:23:28):
I mean, that's how one of the previous wildfires started.
Somebody it was urson. They have no idea. What you're
looking at right now that Wan's showing you. That's the list.
All the stuff in the red is fire, sanitation, street lighting,
public works. Yeah, the essential stuff, this stuff that your
stupid property taxes are supposed to go for anyway, the
green is what they double the budget for. And of

(01:23:53):
course they had to do it with policing after they
created an environment that required it, and then they added
library housing all of this other stuff that's unnecessary. There
are people who are saying that they're leaving California after this.
Apparently everyone's at the Beverly Hilton and a couple of

(01:24:14):
different hotels there. I can't remember the one that's across
the street from the Beverly Hilton. I can't remember the
name of it. But all the millionaires and billionaires are
hiding out in the hotels. They said, all the hotels,
the Peninsula, Peninsula's book, Beverly Hilton's book, the Ritz is booked,
four seasons booked, everybody's booked. All the hotels and motels
are booked. Because people are fleeing. And they said, it's

(01:24:36):
all chaos. People bringing their pets in their Gucci luggage.
It's all chaos, and everyone has the sentiment of enough
is enough. Yeah, they'll get over it. But this is
what I hate to say it. And I'm not saying
that it's deserving of the fires, but when you vote
for incompetent people that have no idea what they're doing.
You get incompetent people that don't know what they're doing.

(01:25:00):
When a time of crisis hits, they don't rise through
the occasion. They fall back on their highest skill set
and none of these people have them. I mean, I
I mean, this is sad to see, but this is
the message that Democrats or that Republicans need to keep making.
You see what's happening in California. That's Gavin Newsom. He's

(01:25:23):
been there for how long. That's Gavin Newsom. That's what
happens when you have generational Democrat policies. That's what it is.
I mean, I feel for these people. And then you
have an insurance companies that are canceling insurance policies like
weeks before all of this happened. It's like, how in

(01:25:44):
North Carolina you've got all these people that have to
pay their property taxes. They have to pay all their
property taxes in North Carolina, a couple of the counties
out there because they said, oh no, we don't even
have a catastrophe exclusion for any of this, So these
people aren't gonna be able to pay their property tax
and then watch, you're gonna have the government come in
and seize the property from people. Government acquiring land, just

(01:26:05):
like they didn't know why property taxes. It's a racket.
It's a way that the government can make sure they
always get your land. We've got a lot more on
the way, just so. Horrific pain can really affect your life.
So you should consider a new year's resolution. And it's
not about taking it easy or slowing down. It's about

Speaker 4 (01:27:20):
Now all of the news you would probably miss. It's
time for Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 3 (01:27:25):
I feel like like this is just like the cryptid
community giving up. So they said that, no, all right,
you know they're yeah, they've been looking for Bigfoot, but
now they're gonna instead look for little Foot. What an
expert reveals there's an ape like ape like humanoid that
could still be roaming the earth. I don't I don't know,
a hobbit little foot that's literally a hobbit. What if

(01:27:47):
it's just like, oh, man, no, what he wants to
see any of the stuff that I'm looking at? No,
thank you? No that the they have a full body
rendering of it. Not in a nice league either, like
that that lady Littlefoot needs to shaver everything godly. Anyway,
they said that what's the name for it, homold floor census.

(01:28:13):
I don't want to know Homold floor and census for
four decades. He's at the University of Alberta. I don't know,
is it they said that? I don't I'm not even
this is so goofy. I just don't now Bigfoot. I
actually do believe little foot. Nah, maybe that's its kid
and it just hasn't grown up. Maybe you're seeing a

(01:28:33):
baby Bigfoot and it's not really a little what.

Speaker 11 (01:28:38):
That?

Speaker 3 (01:28:38):
Actually? I believe that. Let's see, oh this apparently why
did they throw Oh gosh, the people set world records
for the stupidest stuff. We're gonna throw one hundred thousand
teddy bearers onto an ice rink and shut a record
because that's apparently what needed. Who cares? Yay, It's like

(01:29:01):
OCD activities and then they get records for it. I
don't get it. It's weird. Let's see a monkey into
two to escape from a home. Uh okay, what kind
of monkey was it? It's a little monkey into two too.
I love how the cops respond and they're like, yeah,
it was bananas, but he was able to slip away.
And this was in Jefferson County in the Saint Louis area.

(01:29:24):
Just saying, just saying, if anybody, what was that that
documentary that was on Netflix just recently. The people who
on those monkeys. It was one of those monkeys that
slapped me when I was a kid. I slapped it
back at chimp crazy or something like that. So a
monkey in at two too. It was a Missouri home Caine.
It was in Jefferson County. I'm just saying.

Speaker 6 (01:29:43):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:29:43):
They said that they returned it to its caretaker after
careful negotiations. Blah blah blah, snow Coming.

Speaker 4 (01:29:51):
County in Missouri.

Speaker 3 (01:29:51):
Yeah it is. It's out of Festus. That's crazy town
in which I was born. Out of Festus. Let's see
a No, this is a dumb story. Sam Bernardino, County
Mean says his cats were killed after they drank raw
milk that was contaminated with bird flu or all of
this sounds nasty. Maybe you're just nasty and you fed
nasty milk to your nasty cats. How about that sounds

(01:30:14):
like it. I'm gonna go with that one because I
don't believe this bird flu stuff. I don't stand put
the masks on the birds. Guy's name is Joseph Charnell.
They spent about two thousand words just telling you a
story about some dude whose cats probably drank bad expired
milk and kicked the bucket, and they're trying to make
it a two thousand words story about bird flu. This
is why you don't hate the press enough, says why

(01:30:36):
you don't hate them enough. Bottom line, we got a
lot more still on the way because the DEI stuff.
We got to talk about that that. If you think
that didn't have an effect with how they're handling everything
in Los Angeles as well, I've got a story for
you that will cause you to think again. Stick with us.

Speaker 3 (01:31:04):
Welcome back, Dana, Lash with you. The bottom of this
third hour, we're in Texas preparing for snowpocalypse. I was
just looking at the temp it's going to be forty.
It's forty degrees right now. It's a balmy forty degrees.
It's been freezing and then the ice and that's supposed
to start tonight. So California is getting fire, We're getting nice,

(01:31:24):
and Texas is going to shut down, and people need
to stop freaking out over French toast supplies. Like I said,
they all go on, they get their toilet paper. I
set it toilet paper every time I have say certain words.
I kid you how I get emails from people southern
Missouri get over it. Heard it from my grandmother all

(01:31:46):
the time. But they go out and they get toilet paper. Tolet.
That's how you say it. Yeah, it's not toilette, it's tolet.
They go on, they get toilet paper and bread and
milk and all this other stuff. Milk is another and
ice comes shut everything down for a couple of days.

(01:32:08):
We're ready, though, if you know we lose power, we're
ready this time. I mean we were ready last time,
but we just needed a bigger generator. But we're ready.
We got the big one now it can power like
the whole hood, I think. But we're ready to rock
and roll. So I don't know. I'm telling you, but
in La they've had over I don't know. Some people

(01:32:32):
said they've seen hundred personally, seen hundreds of homes burn.
What were they doing just recently audio somebody eleven, This
is what they were doing. This is how the city
was handling stuff. Listen, I am super inspired.

Speaker 11 (01:32:44):
Now, she took time out of her already busy schedule
to tell us about her vision for the department's future,
one that includes a three year strategic plan to increase diversity.

Speaker 3 (01:32:54):
People ask me, well, what number are you looking for us.

Speaker 7 (01:32:56):
I'm not looking for a number.

Speaker 6 (01:32:57):
It's never enough.

Speaker 11 (01:32:58):
Out of thirty three hundred city firefighters, only one hundred
and fifteen are women. Right now, she's already looking at
ways to change that. She's quick to point out that
doing so has a greater purpose attracting the best and
brightest for the job.

Speaker 6 (01:33:12):
They feel included, they feel valued, and they feel part
of a cohesive team.

Speaker 11 (01:33:16):
The chief also checks another box when it comes to
inclusivity and diversity and this department. She's a proud member
of the LGBTQ community.

Speaker 4 (01:33:25):
That just kind of opens the door of people that thought,
Oh I didn't even know that that was an opportunity
for me.

Speaker 3 (01:33:33):
Oh man, things that I would rather say right now
that I can't. I mean, you know, they could be
focusing on firefighting and stuff, but you know, it's California specifically, LA.
We got to make sure that we include people who
have sex a certain way in our hiring process. Like

(01:33:53):
are they is it like a job for firefighters or
are they also hookers? I don't understand. Yeah, Like, how
why does that have any impact on that? Why does that?
Why is that a consideration on the job. You know,
my bosses don't care that I love Cilantro. They don't care.
They wouldn't care if I dislike Cilantro. It's not a thing, right,

(01:34:17):
It's just something. It's just a preference. This this idea
that this is somehow you have to include this into firefighting.
I just I don't understand it. Does it make them
fight the fires a better way? Like do gay? Does
a gay dude fight a fire better than a dude

(01:34:40):
who's not gay? Like, is how well you fight fires
predicated upon how you'd you know, get it out privately?
Like I'm curious, is there something I don't know? Is
there study?

Speaker 4 (01:34:54):
Yeah? I don't think even straight people don't have an
advantage over gay people in that regard, because that doesn't
matter to your firefighting skills.

Speaker 3 (01:35:04):
I am made of jokes right now. It's taking everything
I have, all of my self restraint right now, all
of the.

Speaker 4 (01:35:11):
Fact that we're arguing this part of it to me
is beyond absurd.

Speaker 3 (01:35:17):
I mean, this is stuff they were doing just a
few months ago. Yes, it's very important. You know, got
your first fear. I don't care if the fire chief
is alphabet. I don't care, can you, I don't know,
fight fires. It's very important that we get a fire
chief who likes tail, very important, and that it's a

(01:35:38):
chick who likes tale. It's very important. And this does
what concerning the impact of fighting fires Absolutely nothing? Then
why is it an issue? I This is what's so
confusing coming from you know, my perspective as someone who
was a teenager in the nineties and a young adult

(01:36:01):
going into the early adds, I was always told, like
the rhetoric that we always heard is that what happens
behind closed doors is none of your business in stay
at everybody's private lives. But now it's like the doors
are flung open and they're having a housewarming party in
their bedroom and you're forced to attend and applaud. That's

(01:36:24):
what it's like now, I and I just it's so hypocritical,
and it is completely fair to bring these things up
and point this out because the fact that that was
like a huge goal for them, do you know they
don't have enough firefighters. Adam Carolla was just saying what
he's a reiterated the story that he shared a couple

(01:36:44):
of years ago that he had tried to be a
firefighter and they told him that he had to wait.
He was on a wait list to be considered because
he wasn't a minority. We don't need any of you
white dudes fighting fires. Oh my gosh, this is so

(01:37:06):
it's just so weird. It's so weird. I don't know,
I'm just that's what they focused on. De I is
gonna get everybody burnt up. People will burn to death
because of DEI. That's exactly what I just This is
just so stupid, so stupid. I was looking at who
voted where, So the Palisades. They La Times had a

(01:37:31):
story where you can go and you can read and
see on this map that they have you go to
remove paywall to get around their paywall, because I'm not
paying them for this stuff. But they were saying that
the Palisades, it was pretty close. A lot of them
voted for Karen Bass, but barely more of them voted
for Rick Caruso. But I bet Karen Bass ended up

(01:37:53):
winning for mayor in la So I mean, and all
the people who are very very competent. You Rick Caruso,
a billionaire, very successful real estate developer, understands land management,
understands all of it. You know, you would think that
you would need somebody like that, particularly with wildfires that
have been plaguing the area lately. But no, no, they

(01:38:13):
went with Karen Bass, not even in town when all
this stuff happens. Remember how the left lost their minds
when Ted Cruz went on a previously scheduled spring break
trip during is again and a couple of years ago.
Karen Bass is legit like at an inauguration in Ghana. Well,
her town burns, so shut up. And then krus didn't

(01:38:34):
even go. He canceled his portion and stayed, which is stupid. Yeah,
and he's yeah, so stupid. So I don't know. Meantime,
in Seattle, another city being ravaged by progressivism, who would
have thought their twenty dollars per hour minimum wage law
is forcing all the restaurants to close. There's five more

(01:38:55):
restaurants that are closing. They have a law where they
demand that you pay someone over twenty dollars an hour,
twenty dollars and seventy six cents an hour, and the
hospitality industry came out with a prediction that a ton
of small businesses will go under as a direct result
of that. And so one of those Belgatto Baigrey, they

(01:39:17):
posted as sign in its store. They said that they're
no longer they're no longer able to service their customers,
they're not able to close that twenty percent increase in
mandated wages, and that they're going to have to close
their doors. And they're just one of tons of other people,
tons of other small businesses that are closing because they can't.

(01:39:39):
They can't handle it. That's because it's stupid to demand
twenty over twenty dollars an hour for this is so stupid.
And I say, this is someone I started as a server.
I my first job was as a server, and I
worked every Friday and Saturday night and I made a
lot of money and tips, and I worked really, really hard.

(01:40:00):
It's an entry level job and I never expected to
be paid twenty dollars an hour mandated. That's the stupidest
thing I've ever heard. You're making the market pay overpay
for a lower skill set, and that's exactly it is.
People can get upset about it. But I mean, come on,
this is done. This is how you get seventy dollars hamburgers.

(01:40:22):
Is this kind of stuff right here? Because people then
bitch and moan about capitalism, they don't they don't account
their cost into the capitalism when you are forcing businesses
and why stop at twenty dollars, when you're forcing businesses
to pay where do you think that cost is coming from?
The business doesn't exist just to tickle your Jimmy's. They

(01:40:43):
don't exist just to you know, make you happy. It's
a business. They're going to pass the cost on. That's
just how And why stop? Like I said, why stop
at twenty dollars an increase in twenty dollars? Why don't
you give them a fifty thousand dollars an hour? If
you really love the poor, if you love the poor

(01:41:04):
so much, you'll give them your salary. Notice on. None
of those people ever volunteered to do that. Just it's
killing businesses there. But that's people voted for it, and
they'll probably continue to vote for it. It's all the
rich progressives that can afford all this stupidity. In the meantime,

(01:41:25):
we're still watching all those those fires they had, they
have video now some of the like, I guess, I
don't I were they going to close the airport there
if the fires get too close? They'd have to, wouldn't they.
That's crazy? Yeah, yeah, I just now, Yeah, just thought
of that. A couple of other things I want to
touch on as well. Uh, to make sure that we're
getting everything everything in uh this Uh. I don't know

(01:41:49):
if I told you that. The Daniel Penny, he's trying
to get that father Jordan Neely's Jordan Ealy's father had
filed a suit against him in civil court, and Daniel
Penny's trying to get that case tossed, which she should.
Jordan Neely's dad was wholly absent for the entirety of

(01:42:12):
his life, and he didn't even come around until after
Jordan Neely's death when he thought he could get a payout.
That is the only reason that that suit exists. And
I hope, I hope they do toss it out. That's

(01:42:32):
I mean, it's a it's a grift. So we'll watch
that case as well. There's also this story that happened.
It was this was over the weekend. A victim was
stabbed in the throat at Grand Central Terminal in New York,
and she said no one came to her. Aid Imani
Siarra Pizarro got off the fore train about ten pm.

(01:42:53):
Was going to her administrative night job at the Roosevelt Hotel,
which was converted into a shelter for illegal immigrants, and
she was attacked and she got sucker punched in the
back of the head and stabbed in the neck. The suspect,
twenty eight year old Brooklyn native, Jason Sargent, was screaming
at her, lunched her with a knife, cut her throat,

(01:43:15):
kicked her phone away, and she said a lot of
people just froze. Police were nowhere in sight. She says,
I was running for help and there was no one there. Yeah,
what about the story that I just shared about Daniel Penny.
That is why nobody wants to help, because New York punishes,
It punishes people that step in and try to help,
and they're I mean, you know, she should have just

(01:43:36):
by New York Cities reasoning that she should have just
let herself be attacked and killed right there in the street.
She was like, she was like, I called out for
hop nobody came to help me. That's sad, But New
York City does that. They go after the people who
try to help, and this is what happens. I'm gonna
tell you this is how you get vigilanteism, exactly how

(01:43:59):
you get vigilania. This is a sad story, but this
is what New York City created. People need to start
changing how they vote. They really do, especially after this
last election with so many people voting the way that
they did. I mean, I don't know if this is
enough to make Los Angeles wake up, but something. I mean,

(01:44:22):
what else could happen besides this, other than the state
falls into the sea. What else is the worse? It's
burning up right now.

Speaker 5 (01:44:28):
On the go and need a quick news fix with
a fun twist, follow Dana's Absurd Truth podcast for bite size,
in formative episodes perfect for your busy schedule on Apple
or wherever you get your podcast.

Speaker 3 (01:44:41):
I was just thinking to myself, I know that I
should have gotten that flamethrower at Texas gunn Experience, you know,
for the ice, because you can't really get like melt
here and all that stuff in Texas. They just don't
do that here. But I don't like the ice. I
could go out and you know, burn some stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:45:02):
Did you sell the pool salt? Which I did buy
a bag of that. I bought it at I think
it was Low's. I went to Lowe's and Home Depots.
I think it was Lows.

Speaker 8 (01:45:10):
I got it.

Speaker 3 (01:45:10):
Yeah, apparently everyone's like I need all these things and
they just buy it like people chill. It's like you
for two days, calm down, like calm yourselves. But I
definitely should have got, you know, for the ice. I mean,
think about it, like you get just go out there
with that, you know, and just get rid of the ice,
because that's always the worst. So I hope everybody stays

(01:45:34):
safe out there, and we're praying for everybody in the fires,
and we're still praying for everybody and North Carolina and
oh my gosh, everywhere else. But yeah, I'm just I
had a thought because we were talking about the DEI
stuff with the firefighting in LA and all of that,

(01:45:57):
and one of ours, Adrian, said that he's glad to
know the gay people feel seen in the LA fire
department with the raging fires of hell consume you know,
all these houses everywhere. Do they have to wear like
reflective rainbow stuff? Does that make it easier to spot
the gay people in the flames. I'm just curious. I
just still I am trying to wrap my mind around

(01:46:18):
that one. Like what about people with four toes? Did
they get Do they have like a special like outreach
event to them? What if they're left handed, do they
get like a special left handed outreach? Like this is
all stuff that has nothing to do with fighting fires.
Why are we do you like skim milk or whole
milk because we find out that you're able to fight

(01:46:39):
fires more effectively if you don't drink skim milk. Like
that's like, you know, it's just a bird. What did
you say? For the love shut up? You know? I
Oh my gosh, I don't care about any of the
new flus. I don't care about any of the new viruses.
And I'm already I'm getting fed up already. We're not

(01:47:00):
even to the.

Speaker 4 (01:47:00):
First week at a new So this is by design, I think.

Speaker 3 (01:47:03):
Oh my gosh, I need the flamethrower. You think I
got time before any bad weather hits. I need to go.
I need to shut up. Okay, first off, you you
got today's stupidity, Yes, we do.

Speaker 4 (01:47:11):
As a matter of fact. One just go ahead and
play cut one because Raskin, Well, it's not the smartest
in Congress. Let's just put it that way.

Speaker 6 (01:47:19):
Good, and so it'll be two seventeen to two fifteen,
which means they cannot afford to lose a single vote.
And they've already suffered the defection of Congresswoman's Sparts from Indiana,
who got so mad about the fact that she wasn't
put on the committee she wanted that she has left
the Republican Conference and is an independent now and we

(01:47:39):
haven't even started deliberations yet.

Speaker 4 (01:47:42):
So I think the reason this is so stupid is
because we all know how Democrats operate. It's intentional for that.
They have all of these problems in the Democrat Party,
the media doesn't report on them, and then they want
to act like they're going to be capitalizing on some
division that doesn't exist.

Speaker 3 (01:47:56):
So it's good times, good times, indeed, everybody stay safe
out there. We'll have all the latest as well any developments,
and we'll have up on the newsletter, substat chapter and verse.
Go sign up, find us like subscribe, YouTube, Facebook. Have
a great night, everybody, stay warm, stay safe. Back tomorrow
