On this Wednesday, we're halfway through the week. And a couple of things. Why is it, did you see that the, I just see the media is making. This story about one of his aides. Like A huge thing.
Have you seen this? The, what is it, the Natalie Harp girl? Lady she's not a girl, she's like thirty something. The lady Yeah, the guy that, or the woman that John Ossoff went after. John Osoff, by the way, so far was just normally an insufferable Democrat, but then now because he decided to go after this woman the way that he did by like trying to, I guess, suggest that there was some impropriety there and like making fun of her for doing her job, now he's in some hot water.
I am like Yeah, she's almost 40, so she's like a grown woman, but I don't understand why they're making fun of her working with the president. They, like, I'm seeing, let's see, Reuters, Associated Press, OCNN had a big thing. where they're saying meet Natalie Harp. the aide so close to Trump she once rode in an S U V trunk to accompany him.
Well, maybe because they had a full car. I don't know. This is just so weird. That and it all kicked off because Asoff mentioned, he was giving the speech and he mentioned her. And he said, Oh, well, all he does is like travel with Natalie on their apparently defenseless flying palace.
gifted by the Emir of Qatar. And I for some reason they've decided. I don't think that he's walked it back. He did a little. He did during the um Jens he was on Gen Saki's show and he was kind of trying to walk it back like you you know, like Democrats do when a general's coming up.
Yeah, do we have that audio? I. I just don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe that that.
Because he went after her, and now that gave the signal to the whole press. everybody in the press to go after her as well.
So that's why you see all of these. These articles everywhere from Associated Press, CNN, et cetera, that are all picking on this woman. Instead of like picking on John Osoff, we're trying to make an aide. Who travels with him for making that a big deal and making that. Like part of it.
This is him. This is so Kane says, this is him walking this back. You decide if you think this is him walking this back, watch. Why'd you decide to invoke Natalie Harp specifically in that speech?
Well, Jen, thank you for having me, and here's the point. We're in wartime. The Commander-in-Chief. has mired us in this geopolitical disaster. People have lost their lives.
Our naval logistics are frayed. the global energy system is in crisis, and he retreats into this bubble. Of West Wing aides who are his security blanket. to make him feel good about himself. Yeah.
So he's not really walking it back. He's just saying, well, he surrounded himself with aides, et cetera. He's not really walking this back. He intentionally didn't mention her name there because of that.
So he's trying to act like his mention of Natalie, it was him just talking about staff. He name checked her. He didn't just say staff. He actually name checked her. He didn't just say, oh no, he's traveling with her.
She's he's traveling with staff. He said, traveling with Natalie is what he said. Verbatum. And I was gonna try to act like, ooh, I was just gonna... And so the media now is like, oh guys, we got the green light.
We're coming in. Coming in hot. Mm. Going after Natalie Hart. I was just like, they're doing that because they can't really.
I mean, go after him all you want to. But this is just lame. Like they're making fun, like, for instance, so this is New York Times. New York Times, just listen to this. You can.
Just Get the sense of this just the in just the snaughtiness.
So, quote, she never takes a day off. Not even on Sunday. She works out of the Oval Office and she's got a regular seat on Marine One. She texts with world leaders on the President's behalf. This is the New York Times.
She stays up late with him, drafting social media posts. She rarely speaks on camera, and yet She is never not there. ever present. with a wide smile. and her eyes fixed.
on the President. She is Natalie Hart. She's the Well, one article said 35, one said 38. 30-something-year-old West Wing aide who is the utmost gatekeeper to President Trump, a one-woman conduit of information operating entirely outside. the usual chain of command.
The public's interest. and Miss Harp exploded. after she was revealed last week to be one of the lucky few who joined the President inside an airplane catering container to be whisked out of Turkey. under threat of attack by Iran. And then she became the subject of a political attack line delivered by John Ossif, and then they...
They said that They're saying, oh, look, can you believe Trump rolled so ferociously? defended her. Can you can I just stop here for a moment? This is the New York Times piece. How do you just gloss over the under threat of attack by Iran?
That's in that third graph. I'll even just gloss over that. They're more interested. by the blonde aide. That's accompanying the president in a catering truck than they are that he literally had to get in there because of an assassination threat from Iran.
That's their whole thing. They're more obsessed with that. Than the fact that the president was under attack, under threat from Iran of being assassinated. Anybody else find that absolutely ridiculous and clownish? And then they go on and on and on.
They quoted Alsaf said that he wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie, is what he said. Uh Not anybody in the legacy press is defending her. Nobody's defending her. She's just, they're, they're just, it's like they're making fun of her. Daily Mail had a whole piece.
Daily Mail is like pick or miss sometimes. Uh but They said that the Blonde Aid's Scottish love letters exposed. Her disturbing starvation confession.
Now, remember, she was one of the right to try people. That's how she ended up coming to his attention.
So now they say Quote, intimate letters written by Donald Trump's personal secretary, in which she confesses to starving herself while working for him, have resurfaced following renewed scrutiny of their relationship. And they they call her the human printer 'cause she has news articles for him to read. And that they they made fun of the May 2023 golf trip to Scotland where they noted that she was running behind the President's golf cart because there weren't any other ones available. And then she wrote him a letter to apologize for embarrassing him while trying to keep up. Daily Mail published it.
So it sounds like she's just super. Polite. And she's doing her job as an aide. Yeah.
What is What is that? I don't understand it. They're really trying to make fun of her with this. I don't get into all of this. This is just, it's just asinine.
It is silly. I mean, do we want to sit here and look back throughout Democrat presidencies? You know what they're trying to do? They're trying to make her a Monica Lewinsky. They're suggesting that without suggesting it.
Because they know how Much that compromises them. They can only go so far in like making fun of her because they know what that looks like. These people are just ridiculous.
Okay, I have another story to share with you. James Tallarico, this is from the Free Beacon. Yeah.
He voted against bills targeting CCP influence in Texas. Including a very popular measure barring Chinese nationals from buying up farmland. In fact, he had one tweet. On China. That touted a resolution condemning anti-Asian hate speech.
That's the verbatim thing, like the term China virus. He only had one thing about China and it was that condemning using the term china virus. He opposed all of these bills when he was in state legislature in the Texas House at curbing CCP influence, including the one that was stopping them from buying up all this farmland. And then before that, He supported a resolution. That condemned the phrase China virus during the pandemic.
saying that it was racist against Chinese nationals. What? It's like That's the dumbest thing I think I've ever heard of.
So the bill SB 17 barred certain governments and foreign nationals, you guys remember those. He was hardcore against it. He voted against all three of the measures. You had SB 17, you had SB 667, and then HB 128. All of them were about preventing in different ways Chinese entities from investing in and having CCP-tied companies that are subject to Chinese control buying up American farmland.
And the last one, the House bill, prevented Texas municipalities from establishing or renewing what they call these sister city relationships with anybody that's a foreign adversary like China.
So he voted against all three of those measures. All those measures passed and they became law. And then the. Uh whole idea of the the China virus. He wanted, and it was a tweet.
Let me pull this tweet up where He was promoting, condemning the phrase. This is on March 18th, 2021, for him. And he said in this tweet, quote, We must confront racism and misogyny everywhere. From the schoolhouse to the White House. I'm proud to sign, and it's Chinese, he's a Chinese state rep, Gene for Texas' resolution condemning anti-Asian hate speech like Kung Flu and China virus.
Words have consequences, and dehumanization always leads to violence. End quote. Um Not every there's no such thing as hate speech. And kung flu is a hysterical phrase. It should be used and so China virus is perfectly acceptable as well because that's where it originated.
And Kung Flu is also funny. But that's his only tweet on China. Anybody else find that weird? It's like our biggest geopolitical foe. That's the stuff that James Tallarico does.
Now, the RNC is coming to Dallas. I got to complain a little bit. The RNC is coming to Dallas, and apparently, because everybody and their brothers are asking, I'm not going, everybody and their brother's asking for tickets. I've done enough of these things. That's James Tallarico's tweet.
Why is this not being used as like a big thing for Paxton or some of these other Texas lawmakers? What is going on, Texas GOP? What the hell is going on R and C? Who's the Florida guy, the chonk that's running the RNC? Grouyers, isn't that his name?
Joe Grouters? What the hell is he doing? Texas was allowed to figure out how they wanted to run this, and they decided to use it as a massive fundraiser instead of a way to rally the base. Tickets are $5,000. It's like $5,000 to get a ticket to get in there.
I'm not kidding, unless you know. Unless you know someone in the party, and there's like the county party or, you know, whatever. It is ridiculous. Every GOP committee Was allowed to determine how they wanted to bundle all of the tickets.
So like the tickets are like $5,000, $10,000, and even $20,000 for tickets.
So instead of using it as a way to rally the base, they're using it as a fundraiser, which is one of the stupidest things I think I've ever seen. You're in Dallas and you're using it as a fundraiser. You really need to rally the base. They need to be having like all kinds, they need to be having events. They need to be having all kinds of events.
But they're not doing that. It's one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.
So. I don't know. They should be using this as a big thing to help boost the candidates, the embattled candidates in Texas, and they're not doing that. We have more to come as we wrap up this segment. We got headlines on the way.
And then at the bottom of the hour, Lorraine, who writes her chapter in verse, you know her from the chat, she joins us on the USS Liberty story, our partners that help bring you the program. It is the Folks. Over at Patriot Mobile, the only Christian conservative cell phone service in the nation. If you haven't switched, I don't know what to tell you. I am so tired.
I'm going to be real. I am so tired of hearing people complain about Netflix and Amazon and all this other stuff. And then I ask them, well, who's your phone service? And they'll tell me, oh, it's this big mobile company or that big mobile company. Have you looked at the breakdown of what they spend their money on through their political action committees?
Because if you have not switched, if you've canceled all your other stuff, but you haven't switched your cell phone service, you might as well go ahead and get those subscriptions back because all of them together don't even come close to what you give Democrats with your cell phone bill. That's why you need to switch to Patriot Mobile. You're literally funding the people that are working to put dudes on your granddaughters and your daughter's sports teams. Absolutely. You're literally putting money in the pocket of people calling to defund the police.
That's exactly what's happening. But that's not what Patriot Mobile does. First off, they're Texas-born and bred. They're right here in Texas. They think like you, and they get premium priority nationwide service across all three major U.S.
networks. You've got unlimited data plans, international roaming. They have a 100% U.S.-based customer service crew. But also, at the same time, they're not giving your money away to Democrat values that you have to vote against at the ballot box. They're like-minded, and they empower the causes that you vote to protect.
It's easy to switch. They even have a contract buyout program. You can keep your number, keep your phone, or get all new everything if you want. Superior coverage, products, and customer support.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five.
So, this is that, you know, the Carmelo Anthony case, they apparently just scored a big legal victory as a judge who oversaw the murder conviction got booted from the case. His legal team. This just happened and the news just came out a little bit ago. But apparently, the judge who presided over the trial in June, his legal team, Anthony's legal team, was trying to get this judge booted, and apparently it happened. They argued that Judge John Roach, who oversaw the initial trial, should be recused from presiding over the appeal because he gave an interview to a local TV station.
It's the NBC affiliate here, WFAA. And Roach had said Anthony seemed like a nice young man, but that the jury made the right call. And he said, As long as I follow the law, I can sleep well at night, he admitted.
So they wanted him to be, they said he gave public comment about an impeding Impending proceeding, and that should have been automatic recusal. And so the senior judge granted their motion. They said that recusal is a very high bar. And though they said that the senior judge, Sid Harrell, said that even though he believed Roach was capable of presiding over the case impartially, that it's not the test. And so they had a prosecutor who protested, but apparently that ended up.
I think that's stupid. That's so stupid. And he was talking about a previous case, not the upcoming. You know, you know, that they, that, that's just that's so goofy.
So he got a big victory with that. Uh, let's see here, a couple of other headlines. We also have, oh, we're gonna rerun it short on time. Uh Well, they're going to have baristas that are going to be robotic. I saw one, by the way, in an airport in New York.

Dana Lash with you at the bottom of this third hour. One of the stories that we were diving into and that we've talked a little bit about is the story, I'm pulling up this article, with the USS Lincoln. And a lot has been written about this extended deployment of this vessel. I think it's been, what, over 260 days now, so they've been out there for nine months. They left in November of 25, and they said it set a modern Navy record for continuous time at sea without a port visit.
Apparently, it only made a single one-day stop in Guam back in December, so like barely even a month after they left port.
So it's been a while, and they're supporting operations in the Middle East and in the Indo-Pacific. And it's really being seized on this story, all the things that have come from it, the story of families talking about sailors on board who are suicidal and they have bad food and all of this other stuff, or the toilets don't work, or they have water issues, or something of that nature. And it's really being seized on by a lot of people in the media, not as just a way to really hit Republicans going into midterms, but also as a way to kind of undermine POTUS with Britain. Regarding the prosecution of conflict with Iran. But what's the real story?
Because some of the photos that we've seen, for instance, there was one photo showing what was claimed to be like the Navy mess hall, and there were cinder block walls. And it's like, what I don't think that they use cinder blocks. to build ships. I mean I'm not a shipbuilder. I'm not a sailor.
You know, I'm kind of like, what about Bob with the whole thing? But. Pretty sure they don't use cinder blocks on naval vessels.
So, what's the real story? Because there's so much, and apparently, everything came from like one dude, it was like one source. On the ship. Lorraine, Yuriar, you know her, Lorraine, as the moderator for the chat, but she's also the contributor over at Chapter and Verse. And I wanted to read this one graph because I want to talk with her about this because she knows a lot of information about it.
You know, she lives on the East Coast. And she says, quote, in her piece that's up at chapter and verse right now, by the way, she says, Let me begin by saying that I am not a Navy veteran, but I am married to one. And we've been through long deployments that got extended. She writes, What I know of boat life is secondhand for my husband. He was on the Ike for three years.
She says that she dealt with everything. And she says, we often joked that even though the military considered me his dependent, he relied on my independence at home to do his job while deployed. I love that. Lorraine Uriard joins us now via video. Lorraine, this was such a great piece.
And if people have not read it yet, they need to go to chapter and verse and read it because I don't think that there's a stone that you leave uncovered. Let's be realistic about how many people are actually complaining. What is it that? Because they make the way the press sounds like they sound like there's gonna be a mutiny. It sounds like pirates of the Caribbean.
There's going to be a mutiny. The way that you read the press articles about this, they act like it's every sailor on the boat. Yeah, no, a lot of these reports, first of all, they're coming from spouses because they don't really have a lot of interviews with people on the boat itself. But um For instance, the spouse meeting that MS Now is quoting is saying that, like, Oh, there were so many you know complaints and everything. There were 200 people there.
If Even if you were to say that there was only one. Family member per each sailor on the boat, that's only four percent of the population on the boat. That's not that much. You boats like these carriers have like over 5,000 people on them, they're basically a floating city.
So of course there's going to be people who don't like what's going on. There's always going to be like mental cases that happen when they're out there. There's always going to be people who don't want to do the work, stuff like that.
So But it's I don't know. My husband and I were left and when we read some of the complaints, we were like, that's just boat life. People need to get, you know, man up. It's yeah, boat life. And you write, you get, and Lorraine, by the way, for those who don't know, she gets into this in the piece because you say, you know, that's like talk about the three, maybe three people out of a ship's population of over 5,000, that's 0.06.
And then you, you really get into the math of it, but then you always say, you say that as a mill spouse, that is always the complaint from the families during deployment. That they're the ones. Yeah.
Yeah, go ahead. Oh yeah. My husband only deployed on the boat once. We got really lucky with that because he's more of a helicopter mech.
So we were land-based sea duty for a while. And when you're land-based due duty, They deploy, they go out to different areas around the, we were stationed in Italy, so it was around Europe and the Middle East. And when they're back at home, you're lucky if you see them. They've worked 12 to 14 hour days because it's a speed-duty command. And we had a commander who, like every time we had a spouse meeting, because they always have to try to make the families happy.
He would be like, Oh, you know, a happy wife is a happy sailor. What can we do to make you happy? And we'd be like, Well, you're working our guys too hard. They're working 12, 14 hour days, we barely see them. And his response was, Oh, it's sea duty.
You're lucky you see them at all. Mm. Like, okay.
So Uh yeah, it's it's stuff like that is is just it's just the way the Navy is. Like Yeah. You're gonna you're not you're gonna go for stretches of time without seeing your family member. That's that's especially if they're on a boat, especially if they're on a boat. Right.
And every deployment, every boat deployment gets extended. If they tell you you're going out for six months, just plan for eight. You know, like every deployment gets extended. It's just the way that it is.
Now, you say this deployment was made harder by supply issues because no one expected Iran to fling missiles at all of its friends in the area. And that is, I mean, that is true. I mean, you know, this stuff is, you know, it's kinetic. I mean, things happen and stuff comes up, and that's kind of how it goes. And, but this is an unusual what you say and what your husband says.
And I've heard this from a lot of other, by the way, a lot of other sailors that have listened. They've, I've gotten emails from folks and they're like, yeah, that's, they're like, it may be longer, but the issues that they're dealing with are. pretty routine as you describe in the post, whether it's, you know, s the bathroom issues, the water issues, uh, the mail apparently, like and the the ship store. I mean, that's all like uh that's part of, as you say, boat life. Yeah, it's part of boat life.
They did have some supply issues. The Navy got that fixed really quickly. Um we have uh Person in chat who says he's got a friend on, you know, his wife has a friend on the boat or something. who said that they don't have any issues with food.
So You know, that you know, take that with Their leadership did tell the spouse group. Spouse groups are always fun. The leadership did tell the spouse group that. They did have some supply issues for a short period of time right after Bahrain got hit. And I mean, people are like, There's the new republic is out there going, oh, HegSeth hid this from the American people that this, well, that's called OPSEC.
It's operational security. You don't want to tell the enemy that they hurt you in any way. You don't want to tell the enemy where you're moving your supply lines, stuff like that.
So, of course, HegSeth didn't tell us that. That's just common sense. You don't want to, and these are the same people that got mad at Heg Seth, too, when it came out that, you know, for the guys that are getting ready to go into combat, they were getting big oh steak dinners, which is also routine from what all of, you know, the vets I know and our family and our friends have said.
So they get mad when he gives them steak dinner and then they get mad. I mean, what is it? Pick one. They need to pick a narrative. Yeah, the steak dinner thing is more of a, it's more of an army thing, but it's really just any group.
Like, if you're getting steak and lobster, you know something bad's about to happen to you. Yeah.
You're going to get in it. You're going to get in the yeah, it's not a good thing to get steak and lobster dinners. I went in. I wanted to ask you about this photo, and you included this in the post because I saw journalists, like actual blue check journalists. Tweeting the photo of the concrete I guess the cinder blocks, and they were saying that's on the shit, that's on the USS Lincoln.
And you're like, There aren't, I'm not a, again, I've never been on this ship. I don't know anything about how these ships are built, but I'm pretty sure they don't use cinder block walls. Right? No, there's no, there's no cinder blocks on a boat. It's my husband was like, as soon as he saw that, he was like, that's fake.
And that's why in the piece I included a photo of like the actual mess hall from the Lincoln taken a couple of years earlier. Yeah.
Where you can see that the walls are like steel and the ceiling is all exposed, piping and stuff like that. And that's what a mess hall on a ship actually looks like. It doesn't look like the mess hall in like a school. There's no cinder blocks on a boat. That's ridiculous.
That's and the fact that that was circulating without so much as a correction and it's still there's still no correction like there were publications that that ran with that you talk about how the USS Nimitz spent 321 days at sea during COVID, which is almost a full year with no port calls and no one in the media complained. And then you asked, so why is the Lincoln different? Why is it different, you think? Yeah, well that's one thing too. Everybody's talking about, oh, this is a modern day record with Lincoln.
Actually, no, it's not. The Nimitz has the record because the Nimitz got sent out during COVID and they weren't allowed to hit ports at all. They spent the whole year with no port calls. Like that's. Crazy.
And nobody complained about that.
Well, that happened under Biden during COVID and lockdowns and stuff like that. And there were no official reports filed. People weren't talking to the families.
So we have no idea how many people went nuts. We have no idea. how many people struggled with that. It's routine on a deployment like this. I looked it up, and like, you know, in America, 19% of American adults are being actively treated for depression at any one time, but during a deployment, 25 to as much as 50 percent of sailors will chart as having indicators for depression.
And that's just because of boat life. It sucks. Yeah.
Boat life is tough. But this is just, it seems to me that it's all about trying to make Trump look bad. Trying to turn the American people against any of this conflict stuff, trying to make all of this look bad. And just playing into this narrative of, oh, this forever war, and they don't know what they're doing, and Trump's not really helping himself with all this back and forth. But at the same time like All of these complaints that are coming out about the Lincoln.
They're like just standard complaints about boat life. When That's just how it is. There's always water shortages because And yeah, you're a floating city on the ocean, but you have to desalinate that water in order to use it. Yeah.
So. You know, if the desalination is run into trouble, then there's water shortages. Right. That's just how it is. Hot water is a luxury on a boat because of that kind of stuff.
It's Oh, this is just normal boat life complaints for the most part. Yeah, there was a little bit of time where there were some shortages because of the supply chain issue, but they've gotten that corrected. Yes, the mail is still slow. getting to that boat but that's because As the leadership all said, they prioritized food and then they prioritized like hygiene stuff, like toothpaste and whatnot for the ships. A store where sailors can go buy their, you know, if they need extra toothpaste or whatever, they can go buy it there.
So they prioritize that stuff above the mail. Like the mail is like at the bottom, which is frustrating a lot of families because they send care packages out during these shortages. And then they're like, you know, how are the care packages supposed to get there if they're having trouble getting food there? Think about it, you know? Yeah, that makes sense.
This is a great piece. Everybody needs to go read it because she goes in, I mean, she pretty much fisks the whole. Narrative, which you know, they and you make you made such a great point with the Nimitz. They didn't care then, all of a sudden, they care now because they can use it to hurt on a couple of different fronts. Which is also reading about boat life, it just makes me so grateful for our sailors because I've seen, I can't, I would get claustrophobic fitting in some of those beds.

Yeah.
It's time for Florida Man. Golly, this headline is like on crack.
Okay, let's break this down. Um So the headline is this: A wanted Florida man was caught hiding under mattress, yelled for mom, who tried to punch officer. That is, I'm saying there's a lot of stuff happening right here. It was in Winter Haven, Florida. And the man was fleeing police.
He tried to hide under a mattress as his mom tried to jump in and punch the officer. Officer said they found myth. on both the mom and the second man who was on the property. What is this guy's name? Segre Nombre was held on an active felony battery warrant.
While facing additional charges.
So, yeah, that's what they know. His mother, Mia Jones, said, my son's not here. But he literally was On the floor.
So let me just tell you, the mattress wasn't on a bed. The mattress was on the floor. He was hiding under the mattress. And that's why the officers were like, why is there a large person-shaped lump in the center of that mattress? and they lifted it and ta-da It's Serge Nambre.
It's him. It's surge. Serge, although they spell his name 5,000 different ways in this one article on Fox 13. They spell it S-E-G-R-E and then S-E-R-G-E.
So I don't know what it is, what the damn name is. But and then when that happened, that's when the mom came and was like trying to one-punch man the cops, and it just didn't happen.
So everybody gets arrested. The whole fam family gets arrested. His mugshot looks like the character Dave Chappelle played when he's talking about: hey, anybody got that? Yeah, y'all got any more of that? Yeah, y'all got any more of that myth?
That's exactly it. Let's see. An intoxicated Florida man who never had a driver's license. Drove a car, hit another vehicle, and then tried to run away from officers again. Oh, he's all busted up.
Uh the uh Florida man. This is in Martin County, Florida. 27-year-old literally crashed right into another vehicle. Uh, he's got too many names: Ariel, Simon, Bama. It's just stop, man.
Your name's Ariel Cammy. Stop it. You don't get all these damn names, you get three. It was on Dixie Highway, leaving the female driver behind with a wrecked car. She called for help, gave a description of the vehicle, they ran him down.
But the white pickup that he was driving had really heavy damage on the front end, so it wasn't actually the best getaway vehicle. And then when he saw the cops, he tried, he stopped the vehicle and tried to get away on foot. But he's kind of a hefty failer, so that was not a long or a fast chase. And he was taken into custody where they discovered he was super drunk.
So he was charged with fleeing, eluding, driving without a valid license, DUI, leaving the scene of a crash involving damage. And he is apparently, oh, he's on an ICE detainer because he's here illegally also.
So an illegal alien with no insurance, no driver's license, gets drunk, runs into a female American citizen, totals her car, and then tries to flee on foot. There you go. Personally, I think he sounds like a Gator snack. I'm just saying. That would be a really Great name for a program, by the way.
All right, let's see. Oh, I got this one. A Florida man drove. a body around in a car for two days. And he told law enforcement he was trying to figure out what to do with this body.
So they locked it because yeah. Uh Miami Dade. They were called to the shopping center because people reported a car in the parking lot with flies all around it and a really nasty odor coming from it. And that's when they saw two rubber mats on top of when deputies arrived. It was a Kia sedan.
rubber mats on top of human remains. Yeah, and so they ended up long story short, they the guy he told the guy was trying to say that he was trying to figure out what to do with the body. They don't actually give details about How the sky, like how the body got there. But the guy was trying to figure out. He told cops, I just didn't know what to do with it.
