And I believe that one reason that Hunter was CC'd on those emails where Joe Biden was using a fake name is so Hunter could prove to the Ukrainian oligarch: look, help is on the way.

Because we heard from Devin Archer say that the owners of Barisma were squeezing Hunter Biden, saying, we need help from Washington.

Now, who do you think they were referring to when they were talking to Hunter Biden, who they said was dumber than their dogs, who was a drug addict, who had no experience, then we need help from Washington? Who do you think they were talking about? And here we see now evidence that shows Joe Biden didn't have a wall between the government and his son's shady business dealings. He was copying him on foreign policy to let him know ahead of time, help is on the way. We're going to go in there and we're going to fire that prosecutor who's trying to bust you for corruption.

Hmm. I hope this all I you know what, I just I I'm gonna need a good witch burning. Yeah. A political witch burning. I think I'm gonna need that.

I'm done. Yeah? Right? I mean, it's all insane. Welcome back to the show.

It's uh Friday. We finally made it Friday. We made it to Friday. Dana Lash here with you. You can listen to the nationally syndicated radio show.

You can stream it across the country as well. Find us on YouTube and Facebook. A lot of good discussion on YouTube, too.

So the. Latest with all, it's the same thing. There's nothing that's changed. Yeah. Nothing's changing.

It's just treading. We're just treading water. That's all it is. Nothing's changed. I'll let you know if there's something new, but I'm not going to sit here.

I mean, it's the same. Guess what? He's corrupt. They're not going to do anything about it. Corona?

Yeah, you didn't know that. Yeah, he didn't w uh I did see some I did see some Uh footage. of Joe Biden trying to have a little Camp David summit. Did you see that? Dude looked lost.

Although I do think that they jacked him up with steroids or something. But the guy looked lost, I gotta say. And in the meantime, a lot of people. Asking questions. They're asking questions about Maui.

They're asking questions about. The quote-unquote Inflation Reduction Act. I saw this piece over at Vox this morning, which I don't even like that website. I don't even like checking them as their masthead. Apparently, this is literally the subhead.

So the headline is Biden's historic climate law has a problem. The subhead for this? is This uh It says the average American probably doesn't know about all the free money. and the Inflation Reduction Act. Money.

Well, it's uh but it's the piece says it here, Kane. Mm. Scroll. It says that um Because the Inflation Reduction Act, and don't you feel the inflation being reducted? Right?

You don't? Doesn't feel reducted. Three because I mean, it's his. It's his glorious it's it's uh his glorious climate achievement. $370 billion available for Dirty energy, that's really all the dirt's hidden over in China.

So it's clean here. You know, the pollution stays over there. 370 billion. And uh Yeah. You know, I feel like I was reading this piece, and it's a Friday, so we're just going to throw.

formula at the window today. But I feel like this is a business opportunity, Kane. I feel winds of change upon us. Yeah, I feel like, you know how we've joked about how we should have been really Selling the weather indulgences that they call w the carbon credits. It's a weather indulgence.

But we don't call it that. because that makes it sound cultie. We call it carbon credits because, ooh, carbon, the sea, is that bad? I don't know. Plants make it.

We need it. I don't know. But credits, good, good word. Credit, yeah.

So Just by combining those two words together, it makes it seem less culty. I'm speaking about this in ways that the drive-bys, the people who read with pictures and have to count with all fingers and toes, they can understand.

So the The Inflation Reduction Act, a year old, there's lots of free money in here, Cain, for business opportunities. That's my money though. But wait, wait, wait. Is it though? Because it's free.

Now. We've joked because we're like, oh, we're going to create this, we're going to have a carbon credit business.

So for every sin that you commit. Like, if you want to get on a plane and fly somewhere, we'll do the math on that, figure out how much sin you've committed. From getting on that plane and flying somewhere, then You can pay off your sin. With a carbon credit. That's what they did.

That's what that was. Al Gore literally has that as a business. It's a real thing.

Now you're probably asking a smart question and it might sound something like, well, how does that work, Dana?

Well, I'm so glad you asked, I'll tell you.

So the carbon credit works. They take your money. And then you get an email saying that someone somewhere in South America planted a tree for you. Maybe a couple of trees, right? That's how it works.

And ta-da. There you go. I explained it real well, didn't I? Yeah. That's how it works.

De Dana, you didn't actually switch shut up. I did. That's how it works. Don't ask questions about this stuff. That's how people get hurt, right?

Some people get hurt.

So, the Inflation Reduction Act has a lot of this billions of dollars of free money. for business opportunities just like these.

So I'm thinking there's, you know, there's some room in here. It's free money. It's money for the taken. That's what it says: free money. I don't know where they got it.

That's just free. You know. Just Just free money. They said that There's rebates for people for energy efficient home improvements. and home electrification.

Oh, I got a great idea.

Okay, you want to hear my idea? It's really brilliant.

So I have an energy efficient home improvement idea. Right.

So we here says I'm gonna just throw these out throughout the show. How about this? Uh Because you know it's like especially like in places like uh Texas It gets real hot. Like yesterday. We had the parents' farewell thing.

I've spent more hours on the highway than I care to right now, and didn't even get the enjoyment of driving a big truck. Like, I feel like I need a. I just want a big rig the next time I do something like that so I can really live it up. But, um,. Super it was like 110,000 in Texas yesterday.

It was so hot, I almost thought I was a vampire because I started hissing and sizzling when I got into the sun. It was just crazy.

So anyway. I thought, you know, houses down here are probably really hot. Maybe we should have a giant. I don't know. tent over the house to shade it.

Just a big house tent, but we can't call it that 'cause that sounds too simple and cheap.

So we've got to think of something, like a dwelling canvas, something fancy.

Something that sounds like it would be in Decor Magazine because people love bougie names for stupid stuff, right? They love bougie stuff.

So I don't know, I was like thinking. you know, instead of just house tent, Huh? I mean, it could be like your dwelling canvas. That sounds almost artistic, doesn't it? Right?

So I'm I'm still but we could get millions of dollars for this idea, Kane. Millions of dollars for this. This could be part a business. Right? To the environment?

Yeah, for the environment. And it would only cost like five million dollars for someone to put A tent up.

So here's my, we could like go to, you've been to like an academy or or uh Costco? They got tents there, right? Yeah. I can sew and crochet. Uh, just cut up a bunch of tints and put them together.

Ta-da. There you go. See, I mean I I what our idea before you throw shade Actually, is better than anything else that's in this Inflation Reduction Act. Way better than anything else. Home improvement.

True, right? Plus it would give me the opportunity to get my hands on power tools. Because I'm not allowed. I know I'm a grown-ass woman. Have you seen me with a drill?

There you go. Then you would also be like, nope, nope, that one doesn't get one. I can handle guns, but for some reason the drill It's just crazy. I mean, it's just like it's the noise, really. It's just the constant.

It's just, I don't know, something about it. It makes me reckless. Anyway, long s I don't know why I would need that to patch my tent together, but just roll with me here. I'm coming up with ideas for us to make money in this Biden economy, right? I mean, we could make a significant impact in energy efficiency, Kane.

I agree. Uh-huh. Right? Without having to outsource it to China. Just saying.

So the other thing too is that You know, they talk about the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and this is one of the things he was pushing all last week. Wh why don't we just like put some tape on the exhaust? There it doesn't go out in the atmosphere. Duct tape. Don't tell em it's duct tape.

We'll make up a bougie name for that, too. I'm just thinking of ideas here. See? Genius. See?

They win it. It's like Wiley Coyote over here. What about it? Her stuff works. We'll just sell CO2 as Brando.

Mm Oh, that is genius. You know, we could also advertise it as a a super exclusive drug that you're not supposed to have. That'll get the Capital L libertarians all over it, man. Ooh I'm just saying, these are all the you know, these are all the things that I'm thinking of here. Because it's free money.

But can you ask something about the money? I don't know where it came from. I think they just pulled it out of the ether. There's probably like a portal. And you're right.

Necessity breeds invention. You should say that. Don't just share it with Slack. That's some smart stuff. But it is, yeah.

I mean, you know, these trying economic times, thanks to Bidenomics. Yeah, thanks, Biden. It's going to give us room for business opportunities. Those necessities breed invention. Yeah, absolutely.

So, I mean, I'm just, you know, the free money. You made a point about the free money. I don't know where it comes from. I guess there was a portal that brought it here from another. That's universe, another reality.

It's not how that works. Are we sure? Pretty sure. 'Cause I feel like that might be how it works. Because it's free money and the government never lies, as we know.

300 and how many people. What would Mayor Poot say? Oh, what do you mean? Oh, wait, I don't have that up yet. You don't go away, wait, wait.

You gotta surprise me with my own damn soundboard. I'm not it's it's it's one of those it's one of those uh Friday Mondays. See? But I I'm just saying, it's how many billions was it? $390-something billion dollars?

Oh, man. Don't get me started. That would be. I'm just saying. We can get some we get some uh I mean, we could get a lot with that.

A lot with that.

So I'm just saying, you know. I'm just saying. All right, so we I we're gonna because I want to come back to this because he's been pushing this. They're trying so hard while they let Republicans slap fight it out. They're trying to build Biden up as well.

You know, he's really look at all the things that he's doing. He's, you know, doing a lot of things. I mean, he's in a they had Japan's leadership. As well, that they met they were up with Camp David. And this is something that he's really trying to portray himself.

I just think it's weird. This guy's done so so much to enrich China, and he's Sitting there meeting with Japan's leadership. They're bringing all their manufacturing back. The debate is next week. And I gotta say I'm getting A little I got some questions.

Should I dare ask? I mean, I knew it's a free country and all. But I feel like we're taking a practice run at a monarchy. Can I reiterate that I hate everything and everyone? I mean, not you guys, obviously.

That's why we're talking smack about everybody. But, I mean, really just hate everything and everyone. And I also do not like how the GOP is operating. Look, you can get mad at me all you want. If you aren't good enough to serve, you're not good enough to lead.

There's a lot of stuff that has happened in the past four years. You know, time didn't just stop and freeze. When Trump left the White House. We found out a lot more stuff about lockdown, did we not? Or am I mistaken and we just know this same amount of information.

now as we did back in 2020. Right.

Or back in even back in twenty nineteen even. I mean, you know, there's a lot of stuff that's happened. There's been changes in relationships with a number of different countries, NATO expansion. Aggression from China, increased aggression, new things in the South China Pacific, all of this stuff.

South China Sea, but I don't know. Maybe I feel like candidates, enough time has passed that everybody. There's a a wealth of information. upon which we the American voters are basing our questions.

Now Trump may not be headed to next week's Republican debate, but he wants to send surrogates and Ronna Romney McDaniel. is allowing it because he backed her for RNC Chair. And she feels like she's gotta pay. Got to pay back that favor. We're going to talk a little bit about this, and we're going to get to some other stuff, including the CIA's been sued.

They're getting sued. for work because they work with the Biden campaign. We're going to talk about this plus this headline. Apparently Hawaiian Electric knew of the wildfire threat. But they waited years.

to act, like actual years. Crazy. As students begin heading back to school, do you think they'll be learning about the founding principles that made America the freest and most prosperous nation in history?

So, apparently, if you're on social media at all, TweetDeck, some of you are like, What is this, Dana? Just bear with me. TweetDeck is apparently they're trying to deal with the API. They said it was old and outdated. Nothing works.

It doesn't work. It's like the best part of ever using social media. It was the best app ever created.

So, I don't know if they're gonna bring it back. But Elon Musk also just said earlier today that they're going to get rid of the block feature. That's their best thing that they got.

Sometimes you just don't want people. You don't want their opinions. You just want to block, especially if it's a bock troll. Oh my gosh, those are the worst. Also, man.

I don't know what this whole story has a Monday vibe, okay? It's a New York Post piece. I read this last night. Laugh my head off. I feel bad for the kid, but it was still weird.

Woman accused of chucking a skee ball at the back of a little kid's head at a New Jersey arcade. It's the most New Jersey headline I ever heard. New Jersey police are looking for a woman who allegedly threw a ski ball that struck a kid in the head at an arcade following a disagreement with another person. The Cape May police, they released the video and statement to Facebook asking for help in identifying the woman. They can see her on CCTV even talking to the dad and all that.

I mean, so what's the score for that one? I mean, you know, you got your 20s, you got your 30s, your 40s, your 50s, your 100. What's that one? Is that a 200? I'm just curious.

Asking. Hurricane Hillary intensifies into a category three hurricane, 120 mile per hour wind. It's going to strengthen before pummeling the California coast. LA and San Diego are bracing for the first tropical storm to make landfall in 84 years. We got a lot more on the way.

That's why your lovable curmudgeon is here to help you make sense of it all, live or on demand. The Dana Show. Great polls just out. Leading by 40, 50, and even 60 points. Who expected that?

I did. Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, all very strong, but also leading Biden very big. The sanctimonious is crashing. Perhaps. The party should come together.

People should drop out of the race, we unify, and we beat Biden and the Democrats. They should be easy to beat because. Our country has never been in worse condition. Than it is right now. Thank you.

So that was the uh former president who put out a video yesterday. And he was because I've seen this before, I've even seen Match Schlab over at CPAC. They're never gonna have me back. You gotta kiss the ring, man. Uh but uh he's even Like, said this, like, people should drop out.

I didn't know. First off, no. Nobody tried it is so ridiculous. It hasn't even gotten started, guys. You can't sit here and say, oh, it's the first debate, the primary's over.

That's not how this works. This thing got started so early The primary isn't even supposed to kick off until kind of about now. That's why months ago, when I kept saying, I can't believe how early this has gotten, like it's just, it started so early. That's why I was lamenting that because. This is, I mean, you're just getting going.

It's ridiculous to say. We got to winnow the field right now. It's got to winnow naturally. I would tell people who say that Trump should get out of the race. Or people who say that DeSantis or anybody else should get out of the race, I'd say the same thing to them.

No. It's a primary. This is what it's for. You measure the merit of candidates against each other. And because we don't live in a monarchy, we have this process.

Where you have free people who get to determine every four years who they want as commander-in-chief. And every single candidate that comes to the table, they got to come to the table acting like they're bringing a whole empty slate and they got to pitch again. Because in politics It's what have you done for me lately? That is the mantra. What have you done for me lately?

There's none of this you owe anybody nothing. The only people who's owed Are the people who been paying their damn taxes? for little in return. The American Voter. Those are the people who are owed.

Those are the people whose ring you kiss. Those are the people to whom you show loyalty. Fealty. Those are the only people. To whom the knee should be bent.

And it should be bent by politicians who are asking. for the power of their consent. That is how the republic works. That's how this process works. If people dislike it, You know, across the Atlantic, There are a couple of different monarchies over there, and parliamentary, constitutional monarchies.

You can go over there, and you can enjoy having a king or queen. More power to you. But we shed blood to not have that here in the United States of America. And we fought pretty damn hard. Over the past Couple centuries.

So no. This is the process we have. And you can show up and make your case? Or you can not, but that's on you. Nobody's getting out of nothing.

Nobody has to get out of nothing.

So To that point.

Now Trump wasn't thinking about going to the debate.

Now The rumor is that he's considering it. He's apparently asking everybody the last couple days, should he debate? Should he not? I think he should. And here's why.

He's going to be completely axed out of this cycle. All these other candidates. They're going to see an opportunity to bluster if he's not on stage. And they're going to suck up all the attention. One of the things that Trump dislikes is not being the center of attention.

He will be completely sidelined from the news cycle, except for his troubles in Georgia and elsewhere. That'll be the only time his name comes up. And he can do whatever video he wants, and he can have whatever tweet he wants. But you're gonna have some blowhards up on the stage like Chris Christie. They're going to be goin' hard.

And all of the Clips, all of the discussion, it's all going to be about that. And he doesn't want to Miss that. He is not, he's gonna, no one's gonna, if he's having a tweet storm when the debate's happening. I hate to tell you, no one's going to pay attention to it because they're going to be watching, and you might think otherwise, but I'm telling you. You have some personalities that are pretty caustic that are gonna be up on stage.

I mean, Chris Christie counts for at least three of them, right? I mean, it's going to get nasty. And the media eats that up. And also, I think the media wants Trump. You have to acknowledge this, they do.

So they're going to focus on this. Uh This this fight, this primary fight. And watch Republicans cannibalize each other, and they're going to focus on that. They're going to have the winnowed field down their way.

So that's why I think he should participate. And also because there's nothing else on t everything's boring on T V. Come on. But I also don't think I don't think he can afford to miss the debate. Like I said, nothing's decided.

Just because you were in office once doesn't mean that. you just get to do it again and you don't have to work for it. And that's uh to anybody.

Now A couple of other things in here.

So they have the. I'm looking this at they've got uh The Miami Mayor. Who qualified? For the presidential debate, he's trying to pretend to be a Republican. That's kind of funny.

Because he's not. He acts like he's a Republican. But he was a guy who was like a hardcore close the beaches, close everything down. And I do remember because I have friends that live in Miami. And I remember They were livid because DeSantis was opening.

Things he was, he was, and he was going because people certain counties they can determine if they want this area closed or not. You do have, you know, you do have a hierarchy of power, even in the state. And DeSantis was fighting with some of these administrators and mayors, trying to get them. To and these county executives trying to get them to open, keep this open, keep these, let's not have these mandates. And Miami is one of the ones that they were trying to keep everything closed, the beaches, everything else.

And I have friends that live in Miami, and they were livid. They would literally have to leave and go elsewhere if they wanted to go outside without getting harassed. No joke.

So this guy running as a Republican is hy it's hysterical. He's not. A Republican. We're going to talk more about that. But anyway, he's qualified for the debate.

I don't know how. He, uh He doesn't have I I think he was one of those guys that just benefited. from the red wave and then he in Florida and he had the R after his name. But he's just n he's pretty, he's got some like I said, pretty he's been pretty left.

So you have him up there. Who else you got up there? You got um Uh Nikki Haley up there. You are going to. Asha Hutchinson didn't make it.

Like, so far, he hasn't, he's not up there, correct? I think he was trying to get up there. But I think he fell short in individual donors, is what. That's what I was looking at. He doesn't have the individual donors yet.

So you have Francis Suarez. Uh you have Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, Nikki Haley, Tim Scott. Doug Bergham Has not, he's the one, he's got the pledge, the donors, and the polls. Uh Chris Christie doesn't have the pledge, nor does Pence. And then Francis Suarez, he just got the poll thing.

The one guy who's super thirsty, super thirsty Will Hurd. The Democrat will herd The gun control Democrat. Will Hurd, he he can't he d hasn't qualified. Yeah, Hutchison hasn't either. That is, uh, that's who he got up.

I think Miki Haley is going to be completely underwhelming. I think she's going to try, and we're going to game all this for you on Tuesday. I'm going to be at the debate, so we're going to game all this stuff for you Tuesday. But I think she's going to go after the Ukraine stuff hard and try to make it look like everybody else is like an isolationist or something like that. I don't know what Tim Scott's going to do.

I don't dislike Tim Scott. I just don't think that he's presidential material. Politics doesn't have to be personal, right? And that's the thing. You know, people have opposing viewpoints.

At some point, they in the past they could still break bread together and they could discuss issues civilly. But today, honestly, a lot of there's some people on the right that are just like the left. They've adopted that same damn practice of treating everything but total uniformity as a betrayal. I will say the right is different from the left, however, in that the whole left views common ground with any kind of ideological opponent as a betrayal, but the right rushes to crown the opponent as the next leader of neoconservative thought. And you know that's true.

Case in point is Vivek Ramaswamy. I like him as a person, I don't dislike him. Politics doesn't have to be personal. I just don't trust him. At all.

I don't trust him because whatever he says today literally changes in a couple of weeks. He was for DEI until he decided to write a book against it. I don't know how he went so quickly. a one eighty from incorporating actual DEI departments from in his corporations to opposing them. I mean, I think that's kind of an important element to include.

You know, your pathway to reawakening on woke issues. That seems to be kind of important, right? Like, I love when people change their course. I love when people agree with me. But for me to believe it's sincere, I just want to know what made you change your mind so abruptly and recently.

Like, what was it that did it? Because that's a great tool of witness, by the way, for a lot of other people.

So for that alone, I would like to know why. But not just that, I mean, this was a guy who worked to also help create a database. to for the clot shots. until public opinion turned on that mandate. I don't know.

I don't have any clue there either as to the pathway, you know, how he had a, you know, how he ended up having a completely different. Position on that issue. I mean, I'm if he's changed his mind, like I said, that's awesome. But I just I want to know like how. I just want to know how.

He published and we played this, he made a special video of himself. Commemorating Juneteenth before he then slammed Juneteenth two weeks later, literally two weeks later.

Okay, which is it? He blasted Trump over January 6th and yoked him as l as like the sole responsible party. Blamed him for inciting a riot. And then he pulled another 180, probably when Trump cut a deal with him. For him to be a stalking horse candidate in the primary.

And then now he's like, oh no, he has no blame on this.

Well, which is it? Can we be honest about something? You can get mad at me if you want. Ramaswamy is a stalking horse candidate for Trump. They're positioning him as the mini boss.

You guys play video games, this is how it works. You got the mini boss, then you got the boss, right? The mini boss doesn't have as much power as the boss, but they work for the boss. You gotta get to the mini boss before you get to the boss, and that's what they're treating us like. I think you know, you have to have the former president, you you can't look at it as like you're not going to dirty yourself and for the unwashed masses in debates, but you're going to send your mini boss out to still rhetorically go at your opponents.

Yeah, you got to get in it. I just don't know why we're all pretending that this is not the case. We're all acting like it's rude or bad manners to acknowledge this, right? Am I right here? Can we just all say what we all know to be true, but no one in on television or radio has the balls to say?

Because that's what it he's a stalking horse candidate for Trump. He absolutely is. He's not, he has, he knows that he's not going to win office of the presidency. He's got so much baggage. The DEI, the database for tracking clot shots, I mean, the neocon stuff.

Oh, yeah. I mean, there's a lot of stuff there. And that's fine if he's changing his mind on all of this. But I think the right needs to do a little bit of soul checking.

Someone they're so eager to have like a new avatar. They will rush out and break their damn legs in this effort to go crown someone, the new leader of conservative thought, without even just checking first. I mean, you saw a bunch of them trying to do this with Kanye West. They're trying to do it with R. F.

K. Jr. It's wild. Like, there's a difference between the 80% friend is not my 20% enemy, but that doesn't mean that you go and make them 100% your leader. We got a lot more on the way.

I'm honest with you because I respect you, and no one else on radio is going to be honest with you like this. Everyone, all these cats out there are either working with these campaigns, they're doing this or that. They don't hate people like I do. And they're just not being honest with you about it. Just, that's the bottom line.

Keltech invented the concealed carry category years ago with the P11, but did they stop there? Heck no. One innovation just led to another and another, and we'll just look at their latest. The P15. It's the lightest, thinnest, double-stack, 9-millimeter handgun on the market at only 14 ounces and 7/8 inches wide.

The P15 has a 4-inch barrel and double-stack magazine that holds 15 plus 1 total capacity. Its gator grip texture on the polymer version increases stability and makes for ambidextrous grip safety and easy accurate handling. If you prefer a more vintage look, choose the metal version with classic wood panels and textured grips. The P15 has a tritium plus fiber optic front sight with a fully adjustable tritium 2-dot rear to keep you on target in any situation. Make the P15 your choice for concealed carry.

Eastern on DirecTV Channel 347. Hmm. Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States.

Well, okay, so first of all, it's much more complicated than to say it comes from countries. There are joint ventures between American entities and in one or two occasions, a potential foreign entity to create the possibility of jobs and energy in the United States. That's too complicated to try to explain, but I can answer the question that you asked in the following way. Over the time that he was in business, this is, again, something that people ought to pay attention to. Hunter Biden went to Georgetown University, went to Yale Law School, was on the board of directors of a bank, was on the board of directors of Amtrak, is somebody who went and worked in an international law firm.

People teem to forget that this is not the person who's simply out there having people write checks for no reason. He's a capable, educated, experienced person.

Now, if Congress wants to start saying, wait, does he get opportunities because his last name is Biden? They should look to themselves. I mean, Senator Joe Manchin's wife is on a commission in West Virginia where Congress had provided an enormous amount of funds. Guys, I'm trying to be like real. FCC compliant here.

I have been shoveling it, man, and then got this pencil neck up here. Neck is not the word I wanted. Got this pencil neck up here. This is the attorney for Hunter Biden. And he's like, How dare you, dirty unwashed masses?

Question. Infant Baby Little sweet, precious baby, newborn infant, swaddled up, Hunter Biden's credentials and expertise. I mean, that's why he got paid so much money. Literally, that's what he's arguing. He's like, oh, he's a capable, educated, experienced person.

They If the position was about Crack taste testing. I would say you are correct. If it was about Judging hookers or something. I would say mister Lowell, that you are correct, sir. But it was in neither of those things that That's neither of those things that netted him the millions of dollars.

He's a Nepo baby. Big infant baby, almost 60-year-old, Hunter Biden. We got a lot more on the way. Second hour. Come sit by me and let's talk mean.

My parents received a check for $700. which was a slap in the face. the seven hundred dollars was given by the government. And I feel like it's not enough living in Hawaii. You spend groceries, you know, everything is so expensive, groceries can.

be as much as $700 just for one grocery run. And it's not enough. And right now, the Maui community is helping the Maui community. And I'm I'm really I'm it's really affected me because Where's the president? He decides to come here.

This week to come here next week. I mean like where where Aren't we Americans too? Like, we're part of the United States. I mean, she's asking a good question. That's one of the residents in Maui asking, what is the administration doing here?

Welcome back to the show, Dana Lash here. Top of this second hour. You can listen across the country to the radio program. You can also catch the simulcast, YouTube, Facebook, all that good stuff. Good conversation that goes on in YouTube daily as well.

So drop in, say hi. The. This is, I mean, my heart breaks for people. And I know that there's some people that are like-minded who, you know, like us, you know, they're on our side. They say, well, you shouldn't be voting for Democrat.

Yes, but also. Uh I think that when you pay in to the system like these people in Hawaii did. I mean, good grief, the policies made it like a Pretty much like a social estate. Where do you where's your money that you I mean, you paid for uh to not have things like this happen. And it happened.

So the government It's like when the government shut down everyone's business and enacted what I had said for forever: that this is just, you know, it's like imminent, it's a financial imminent domain, economic, imminent domain. I mean, this is very, very similar, and that you have a government that you are paying, you're paying a tax fee, all this other stuff. And they're not doing what they're supposed to do, case in point. You know, I had the headline here, and this is just, I don't know how. people get away with not doing their job.

So they're according to the Wall Street Journal The Hawaiian Electric knew of this threat. And they waited years to act. Four years ago, the utility said that they had to do more to prevent their power lines from emitting sparks.

Now Everyone keeps saying that this is climate change, and they're all like, well, you know, if you just had clean energy, we'll define clean energy again. You know, you mean all the pollution in China, and we just pretend it doesn't come over here. It's so stupid. This had nothing to do with clean energy, it had to do with just making sure that you didn't have junky equipment. I mean, you're Hawaii.

You pay a ton of tax in Hawaii in your infrastructure. You got sparks coming off your electr your. Power lines? And your electric company is not keeping is not making sure that everything's okay and it's not Creating a wildfire threat. I mean this is Just making sure that your tax dollars are keeping up your infrastructure at the rate which you're paying tax.

That has nothing to do with clean energy. This is bad governance. They always try to excuse everything. Oh, bad government, bad government, bad governance. They always try to excuse it with climate change, like the Canadian wildfire.

Oh no, it's climate change. No, you dumbass. It's because you don't know how to do forest management. You have no idea. That's the difference between an environmentalist and a conservationist.

Conservationists, those are the people who go out and actually are stewards of the planet. They they deal with wildlife. They deal with flora and fauna. They deal with the sea, the rivers, the lakes. Environmentalists just complain about all of it and then act like they do what conservationists do.

There's the difference. It's The utility recognized this problem. They knew back in 2019. It was one of the worst wildfire seasons that Maui had ever seen and they knew this. It was and I mean They were told by numerous fire researchers.

This area is at extremely high risk of burning. And one of the researchers who authored the report warning. Maui about this. Told the Wall Street Journal: It's frustrating and heartbreaking to see some of the things that could have been done. There was a report in 2014.

This is about infrastructure and management. This is bad governance. So they knew this for years, and they did nothing. They knew it for years. Nothing was done.

And then on top of it. Oh man. You had this story. Because you I know you heard that the island's sirens They weren't set off. Maui's emergency leader resigned, citing health reasons.

He resigned the day after claiming that it didn't matter. that his team didn't set off the island sirens. They didn't activate the warning sirens as these wildfires were just burning everything, forcing people into the sea. We got a 111 death toll now.

So last night Chief Herman Andaya faced fierce backlash by saying that he did not regret not activating warning sirens. He said he opted to send out alerts via mobile devices. but not siren. They also use some radio. But not siren.

I mean, hell, and parts of the Parts of the area, you didn't even have cell phone service because they, I mean, towers toppled. Come on. And They were told warning sirens could save hundreds of people. My gosh.

Now I will say his argument. What is that?

Well, they didn't want to use those sirens because they would use that typically for tsunami warning warnings. And they said Hawaiians are trying to seek higher ground when they go off, and that would have led them toward the blazing inferno. Wait, let me let me check this again. You're telling me that Hawai you think Hawaiians are too stupid to see that they're running into a damn fire? They know it's wildfire season.

And the sirens go off, and you're telling me they would have just run into a bunch of fire because they thought of a tsunami. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? So see, it's never government's fault. It's either the people are stupid.

Or it's the weather. Climate change. It's either our people are too stupid. No, we had to do it like this, or it's climate change. It's never the government's fault, ever.

And Interestingly, this official had a huge history of downplaying the importance of the island's siren systems. Yeah. Apparently They were saying that, you know, we it would have been helpful to have the siren, et cetera, et cetera. NBC said this guy always played down the siren system in the years leading up to this. He always called them as a last resort, always downplayed them.

I mean, was really just kind of uh I mean, almost sarcastic about their purpose. But wait, there's more. How could there possibly be more? Oh, but there it is.

So the official who ignored requests for water during the Inferno? Did you hear about this one? Red State, Jennifer Van Law had a great piece on this.

So during as the wildfires are raging Wiping out entire towns, killing 111 people so far. People were begging. They were Begging state officials to allow West Maui Stream water to be diverted. to fill up these reservoirs. for firefighting.

Now that request went to Kalo Manuel. Deputy Director of Hawaii's Commission on Water Resource Management. And it's reported that he delayed approval. for five or more hours. And five hours in which the fire that had once been contained just Exploded.

And so by the time that the workers actually did get By the time excuse me. And by the time they actually did get The approval. the water. The workers were not able to reach the siphon release.

so that they could actually divert the water. Because of the fires. And so, this guy, who is an Obama Foundation leader for the Asia-Pacific region, big-time climate change activist, big-time DEI advocate. And his belief is that Water using water requires conversations about equity. DEI gets people killed.

So, the West Maui Land Company. Gave this letter. To the well, gave a letter to Manuel. It was published by the Honolulu Star Advertiser. And they said that although the initial fire was contained about 9 a.m., there were reports of fallen power lines, winds.

Remember, they had the, what was it, Hurricane Dora, 170 mile per hour winds, that was one of the things feeding it. the fierce winds, the outages, the low reservoir levels. And that Prompted the company to reach out to the commission to request approval to divert more water from these streams so they could store as much water as possible to control this fire. But Instead of approving it, they asked the company whether the Maui Fire Department had requested permission to dip into the reservoirs, and they directed it first to inquire with the downstream user to ensure that other uses would not be impacted by a temporary reduction of water supply. Communications were spotty.

Remember? And the company could not. they couldn't contact a number of these downstream users. And the fire moved so fast, they were hung up on administrative BS. It was more important for them.

To make sure you follow the proper protocol and get the proper approval to divert more water. I mean, people are dying and they're messing around with this stuff. This is big government. And then By the time they finally got the approval. Remember, this was all at 9 a.m.

It was after six PM. By the time they finally heard back and got approval. But by that time it was too late to reach the siphon release. To fill the reservoirs, they couldn't do it. The fire had moved too fast.

And that was it. And They said they know it spread quickly. We have to act faster during an emergency. Oh, you think? I just think that's inexcusable.

I mean There's video of this guy. Who's talked about this? This this Caleb Manuel. Manuel, who delayed the water for all this. Oh, it requires conversations about equity.

Well What good is equity if you don't have anyone alive to benefit from it? I mean, this is about land management. The left sucks at land management. Case in point. You know, all of the stuff that you saw with uh the Red River.

between Oklahoma and Texas. or out in Nevada. Bureau of Land Management. You know, they've been killing they were killing like actually like butchering wild horses. For land management purpose.

I'm not joking. Google it. What about the Animeus River on Colorado? Land management, EPA, they dump all these chemicals, toxins in the river. For all the bitching and moaning that the left does about Native American nations, you know how many of their livestock they killed with that stuff?

Nary a a a an apology about it. Go on and on. This is Joe Biden's Hurricane Katrina, except the media won't make it so. And there's no accountability. You know what?

These things are going to keep happening because these people worship. Big government. They they you got these these little these people with their little They're little fiefdoms and they love it, they absolutely love having all this paperwork and all this stuff. People were dying. and they were messing around with process.

Unbelievable. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

So, a couple of different stories. This is interesting. Rutgers is apparently set to disenroll students on August 15th, which is a few days ago if they weren't compliant with the COVID vaccine mandates.

So, they became the first university in 2021 to announce they're going to require the class shot for the 2021 enrollment. And they retracted the previous one about, oh, it's not mandatory, etc. Apparently, this is still in effect. They're planning to, they're disenrolling non-compliant students. And this began back on, again, August 15th, just a few days ago.

That's crazy, except it doesn't prevent, it doesn't do anything. It doesn't prevent transmission.

So, what's the point? Good heavens, they're trying to push. What is this? This late summer variant. I saw that headline too.

They're trying to push another variant as latest and trying to encourage face masks. This was a weird story that I touched on. And it just is, it keeps there keeps coming more and more out about this story. It's going to be like a crime story at some point.

So this happened in Kansas. Remember, there was a Kansas judge who had signed off on this raid of the Marion County Record. It was a newspaper that had gotten this tip about a business owner and it didn't know if it was true or not.

So it asked the police, and the police ended up apparently raiding the business owner. And it caused like the, it just was crazy. And apparently, the lady who owned the newspaper, didn't she have like a heart attack from the shock of it and all this stuff?

So they found out that the judge that signed the warrant, or sorry, there was a raid on the newspaper, excuse me. The judge that signed the warrant apparently has like DUIs. Uh, apparently, has has two DUIs. This is according to the New York Post. I just want to know, like, what.

made them think that it necessitated that kind of that raid like that. That's just for what reason? It's crazy. A driverless car got stuck in wet concrete in San Francisco.

Well, at least it didn't get besieged by, you know, a gang of needles and feces. I don't know. Driverless vehicles, they're having a lot of problems in California.

So on Tuesday, it somehow drove onto a city paving project and it literally got stuck. In wet concrete. It was the, would you get like, if would you get under, I wouldn't get in a driverless car. That's creepy. That's creepy.

I would not do that. Not at all.

So, according to research, MSN, ChatGPT leans progressive. No one's shocked. And here's a very interesting legal risk for AI: users can be liable for chat bot mistakes. Stick with us. We got more in store.

To catch up on all the headlines in Crazy Wokery, download the Dana Show podcast and get Dana's perspective on the Dana Show. It's a pro-DeSantis super PAC, I'm sure you've seen this, has posted documents online that show DeSantis' upcoming debate strategy, and that includes not only attacks on President Biden as well as media, but instructions to, quote, hammer Ramaswamy. Are you preparing to be hammered? You know, I have been prepared for that for a lot of my life, and I'm prepared to take that on. The truth is, I'm an outsider in this race, and I think that that is threatening a lot of the professional politicians.

Understandably, a guy like me is not supposed to be in this race, according to their book. I'm approaching my debate strategy a little bit differently. I think many times, if you don't have a message, you look to attack other candidates. I'm preferring to stand for my own message. But you do that.

Okay, so can we just pretend that you don't? Let's just stop it. You totally do that. Welcome back to the show. Dana Lash here with you.

Let's be honest. I can't stand these damn candidates. I never attack anyone. Oh, shut the hell up. Yes, you do.

Stop. I mean, I'm literally looking at a piece where he's going after him over the pudding thing.

So Stop. That's so goofy.

Now, what he's talking about, and another thing, he went on CNN. And Some of the I just wanted to just point out, some of the some of the for people on the right didn't say anything about that. He went on CNN. He was just talking to What's His Face? Uh, Acosta.

you know, accosted, the guy who like accosted uh a a another journal a staffer at the White House under the previous event. But when DeSantis went to talk to Jake Tapper, oh my gosh, those same people were just apoplectic. Come on. Let's be consistent here. This is this primary so stupid.

Uh this I'm looking at this yeah I was looking at this piece where it was the uh pudding thing. There was a New York Times, they said that there was a debate memo. Axiom Strategies is a firm owned by fellow Missourian Jeff Rowe. And he is apparently he's the I guess the consultant for the never back down pack was Which is the. uh pro DeSantis Political Action Committee.

And there was the Strategy and Tactics memorandum. And when I was first reading about this and I saw this this morning, I thought, well, is this Because the way that some people wrote it, I think that they thought it was his strategy. But I think it was I'm It looked like Did they post it and then Hurry up and take it down. Because they wanted him to do it. Because you know, the PACs can't talk to the campaigns.

That's like prohibited by law because we don't have free speech in this country. Oh, I'm like a free speech purist.

So, we don't have free speech in this country.

So, they can't talk. It's all illegal and stuff. You can thank John McCain for some of that. Uh McCain Feingold. They had the strategy and tactics thing.

this memorandum. And I don't know. Did they post it because they wanted him to do it? Like here's some suggestions for you. And then they took it down, but the New York Times went ahead and grabbed it anyway.

The internet doesn't forget. And it apparently Some of it said avoid as many mistakes as you can, blah, blah, blah, you know, all that stuff. And then I guess it was s I I don't I think that it actually Like Vivek Ramaswamy I just, um I do think it's interesting that he is being, because I think he's a stalking horse for Trump, and we talked about this last. Last segment. Politics doesn't have to be personal.

I said this. I'm like, I I don't dislike Vivek Ramaswamy. I just don't trust him. I don't trust him because he'll say one thing, and then literally two weeks later, he's totally different. Whether it's, you know, Juneteenth.

He loves it. He hates it. Whether it's J6, it's all Trump's fault. Damn you, Trump, too. Oh, Trump had nothing to do with it.

Uh to Even on Wokery, like he's trying to make his name on Wokery, but all of his corporations If you go back and look, like he actually promoted DEI apparently in his companies. Like how are you gonna Around that dude, come on. Like you're against like vaccine mandates, but you wanted to work with Big Pharma to create a database for the clock chop? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, like where are you? What side of stuff are you?

Voters have every right to ask that question without somebody turning into a giant pansy and going, You're a tagging, you're a tagging. You don't think that we have the right to ask? candidates why they hold two opposing positions on the exact same issue? Do we not think that? We can't ask questions on that?

Where that's that's off that's o wh why is that out of bounds? Because it interferes with his job as a stalking horse to attack the main challenger for the frontrunner. Dana, that's the answer. It's true. I don't know why we're all pretending that this isn't the case.

This is why I hate going along with like establishment radio and establishment TV because they're all too busy trying to ass kiss because they want interviews. They want to be invited. They want to stay in these people's good graces. They don't want to do anything. They they want to keep up the the profile.

And I get it, you know, some people that's their That's their main consideration. They like having that access and that adjacency. I don't care. Because One politician is just like all the other politicians. and they change.

You have a different slate every four years. Snow skin off your back. But I I think it's fair to ask these questions, right?

So this idea that, well, you know, I'm just going to, you've been. attacking Stop. Come on. This this this uh memo though going out. I don't know who did it or why they did it, but it was stupid.

It was dumb. Why do this? I don't buy this while it was an accident. It was an accident. I just, you know, I just don't I, you know, and we didn't mean to do it.

That's at least what's being said. Yeah, I don't. I I I don't I think at that level there's no room for mistakes of that. of that sort. I don't.

Again, I think there's a difference in having a memorandum like this: this is stuff that we would like to see the candidate do at the debate. This is the actually the campaigns. debate memo. I mean, there's a big difference in that.

Now, I don't know if Trump's going to be at the debate or not. Like he's go it's going back and forth and I think the purpose is to have the cloudiest messaging as possible. ahead of it. Like I've heard he's not gonna be At the debate, and then I heard that he is gonna be at the debate, and then I heard that he's gonna try just do something from with Tucker, and that that'll be But how many interviews can you get at some you know, at one point? I mean, at some point it's the same interview and you ask the same things.

over and over again. You don't get to measure the candidate against others and have them debate their ideas. Iron sharpens iron, and that's ultimately. you know, at least in some of the earlier debates you can get, you know, get that out of it.

So I don't know. I just think that There's a couple of questions too about money being raised and all of this. And I know that Trump is spending a lot of the money that he's being raised on, like legal stuff because he's in all these legal things. But I want to add, you should not treat a campaign for President as a legal fund. It's not like a legal GoFundMe.

You can't do that.

Somebody's got to say it. If none of the other dudes who are on air will, then I the lady will.

Somebody's got to say it. Right? Everybody's there. I'm just so tired of that. Like, we're all like pretending that we can't say this stuff for what reason?

Like, what do people have to lose by being honest and by being transparent? Good heavens Now This uh we were talking about who is at the debate and who isn't. Doug, who do we know who? Hang on, Doug Bergman's the governor that we keep forgetting is a governor, right? Yeah, North Dakota.

Man, he's got some eyebrows. He's got uh. Uh who's the guy I'm thinking of, who's in S C H I T T S Shitts Creek? Oh, yeah. Gene Levy.

Eugene Levy. He's got like Eugene Levy eyebrows.

So Doug Bergham is running. And there that's the headline, that's that, yeah. I think he's uh He's not the youngest, but he's younger than the s upper seventies boomers that are running. And then those are the ones that have qualified so far. Trump, Pence, and Christie could qualify.

if they signed the pledge, the loyalty pledge. But Ronna McDaniel, Ronna Romney McDaniel, Is allowing, I don't know if she's allowing Pence or Christie to do this, but she's allowing Trump to send surrogates. in place of him signing the pledge and participating in the debate. I think if you're going to turn down the debate, then you shouldn't per then you shouldn't get to send surrogates. This is the Republican Party debate, and the Republican Party should ball up and say, look, this is how we're doing this.

There's no party leadership, and it's evident. Because it's a hot mess right now. Case in point, we have the observance. Of the absolute disaster of a pullout in Afghanistan. just a couple of days ago.

That should have been a Republican talking point. And it wasn't because all of these whiny Republican brats are arguing with each other in a giant phallus measuring contest. That should have been a talking point and it wasn't. Because the GOP is a damn joke. Leadership is a damn joke.

Good grief. No, instead. We're they're out here doing this stuff. Yes, I understand. We can walk and chew gum at the same time.

We lost thirteen service members. Needlessly. It was one of the most botched Botched military events of my lifetime. Watching this. And you had all these people who knew better.

who had to take orders From a barely sentient commander-in-chief who ignored all of the military counsel. All of the military advice, they were saying, don't, don't do this. You cannot pull out like this. You're going to create a power vacuum. He didn't care.

And look what happened. I had um Some people on the left, I get so aggravated. I had some people on the left saying, well, you know, this was set by the previous administration, except it wasn't. That's why there was a residual force that was left in place because the previous administration at least listened to military advice and said, Yeah, okay, you know what? We're not going to create a power vacuum.

They also listened to military advice to not move during times when, you know, it was war season. I've explained this before. I mean, that's kind of how it is. You have these different tribes in Afghanistan, and you know, during what is it, during the winter, everybody's, you know, everybody's up in the mountains, they come out, they have the opium harvest, and then they all go to war. And then they go back up in the mountains, and they come down, they have the opium harvest, then they all go to war, then they go back up in the mountains.

Oh my gosh. There's a rhyme and a reason. And they were even told, don't do it at this time in this way.

So no, it wasn't set up by the previous administration. This is all on barely sentient walking cheesemcunity Biden. That's him. That should have been a talking point for every Republican out there, and it wasn't. Because they're ridiculous.

If they screw up 2024, I am going to go full on Joker. Burn it all down. I will not care after that. I'm not kidding you. I will rage against every damn Republican and Democrat like they're each the cheek of Satan's ass.

I really will. Because they deserve it. You put us in this position because you're all too damn egotistical, then, oh, you deserve every rock that comes your way. I told you I hate everybody the same and I mean it. That should have been a talking point.

Instead, we got this. We got people jockeying. Am I going to do the debate? Am I not going to do the debate? Oh, we better put this memo out.

Oh, take it down. Maybe no one will notice and everyone will think it's stealthy. Can't even deal. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man.

Yes, they can catch you. Florida man yells at police, You can't catch me and puts three hundred dollars worth of stolen Walmart merchandise in his pants. Say deputies. He was arrested after stealing hundreds of dollars of Walmart merchandise and shoving it in his pants. Justin Goodreaux.

He was arrested on charges of misdemeanor, petty theft, felony, drug possession of a controlled substance, blah, blah, blah, minor or misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.

So it was a Walmart loss prevention officer who told deputies that there's this weird dude in the parking lot. He's in a red Kia. He shoved all this stuff in his breeches and then walked right past the registers. And the loss prevention officer tried to stop him. And Goodreow goes, You can't catch me.

And then. Left the parking lot. I love that his last name's Goodrow, and he's like, kick catch me. That's according to the affidavit.

So, a deputy located him about a half mile away and initiated a traffic stop. He was cuffed. They investigated, removed him from the vehicle. And uh oh, and they they found uh when they decided to test for du for drugs, they saw a f a small folded yellow piece of paper right there in plain view that had a crystal like substance and it was field tested totally for meth. It was so total meth.

Total math. I have this one too that I got to touch on. This is a Florida mom who intentionally crashed into another mom's car. School drop-off, man, these chicks do not play. They are just rage-filled.

So Jessica Perez, imagine doing this. She was arrested and charged with felony-aggravated battery using a deadly weapon, according to the affidavit. It was at the Reddick Collier Elementary School. And Marion County Sheriff's Office, they arrived at the scene, they said it was intentional. She ran into the other woman.

and uh they they ev even pulled off the road and were yelling at each other. And The Perez apparently pulled up next to the victim in the grass shoulder and began to yell at her. The victim yelled back, and that's when Perez allegedly intentionally ran into her car with her son in the front seat. And then Perez screamed at her, quote, Yeah, I just did that. You can't catch me.

Yeah, I just did that. Man, we're like, this is, we're just hitting home runs today. Ugh, so she got in trouble. She doesn't have any priors. She posted a $10,000 bond.

Oh my gosh. Why? Why would you do that? Why? Just telling you.

A um Let's see, there's a couple of other things we got here. I just don't know just Yeah, road rage, road rage. I don't know what's up with people with with road rage. Oh boy. No, I don't do I really want this one?

I don't think so. There was a villager. We got a villager. It's a villager. It's a villager story.

Let's just I think of Minecraft whenever I have this villain. You know what I mean? Kane's dying. He knows exactly what I'm talking about. And I love how they call each other villagers.

So, a villager was arrested after a brawl with another lady after going out to dinner. Gene. Dorothy Polterac? I'm trying that sounds right, yeah? Yeah, we're gonna go with that.

Jean, yeah, she uh was arrested. Yeah, this is in the village of I can't pronounce it. Don't judge me. Pochiana? She was arrested Tuesday on a felony charge of battery over a person.

She's over 65. She's 66. Wait, can you be charged with battery on a person over age 65 if you're also over age 65? Do you get an exempt for being, you know, older too?

Okay, I don't know.

So, this woman said she and Polterak had gone out for dinner. They got into an argument and it turned physical. And then she said that Polterak used an open-hand slap to strike her across both sides of her face and then poured water on her.

So they arrested the other old woman. uh on charge of battery. She's on probation for a year. Man, what's happening in the villages? Man, what's happening?

Stick with us. Third hour on the way. Staff Sergeant Taylor Hoover's mom said. that he reported to her that it was just chaos, the line of the chain of command was unclear, that they were sitting ducks, and we've heard other things. uh since then and I I think I I understand that the You'd rather talk, and the president would rather talk about the decision to end the war in Afghanistan.

I think a lot of people are concerned about how it happened, the implementation of the withdrawal. Uh And why it seems so chaotic and and why uh warnings about suicide bombers might not have been heeded and and the rest. I think Central Command, who was the overarching military command, did a pretty exhaustive investigation of this, Jake. And uh and they determined That barring any decision that could have impacted mission success, there wasn't much that could be done to prevent that attack from coming. As tragic as you can.

Oh, wow, that's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. First off, welcome back to the program, Top of this Third Hour. Dana Lesh here with you. You can listen coast to coast. You can join the YouTube discussion, find us on Facebook.

You can also stream the radio program. For the questioning that Jake Tapper led with, I've got to start there. Uh because The question was based on a false premise. The premise was that the discussion of ending the war in Iraq. Was made by this administration, and the discussion around doing so was only during this administration.

And if you listen to the way that he asked that question, that's exactly what he was intimating, which is incorrect. I mean, this was something that was determined long before even the 2020 election.

So that's wholly, absolutely inaccurate, number one. Number two, the discussion was never about. of ending uh the the the the continuation of ending the war. It was about how they were going to withdraw, how they were going to bring troops home. In an organized and measured fashion, so as to avoid the very disaster that we saw unfold, so that we avoid that.

That's what it was. And for This uh For Kirby to say there wasn't much that could have been done to prevent that attack. is a slap in the face to the victims' families. those thirteen service members who lost their lives carrying out the will of a barely sentient A very weak commander-in-chief with a bunch of morons calling the shots. and using him as the avatar for their Group presidency.

I mean, ultimately, that's what this says. Because Joe Biden can't make these costs ridiculous. All the military, every bit, every military. uh expert every uh you know uh service Member advising the President. counseled against this.

just as they did the previous President. Because of the timing. The first the first off, the worst thing that you can do is do anything in spring. That's, you know, when People are coming out of the Afghanistan, they literally have a war season. And that's when people are coming out and there's conflict, etc.

First off, he was advised against the timing. He was advised against not leaving a residual force in place. And then lastly, WhatsApp. As I've told you before, and it's been widely reported on. The Taliban began moving through Afghanistan and they were getting entire villages to just, I mean, they were just laying down their arms and surrendering the moment the Taliban rolled up because the Taliban was literally using WhatsApp messaging.

To announce that they were going to be arriving in that village and they were going to kill anybody who didn't surrender.

So they were already conducting their battle. They were just doing it digitally. And what gets me is that our, I mean, the United States, excuse me, knew about this. or should have. Because Our media knew about it, but they didn't.

Because the media was even reporting about this. I think it was The Guardian, and there were a couple, or not The Guardian, I think it was The Independent. They were reporting. on how the Taliban was using WhatsApp and basically taking over entire villages just with this messaging service.

So if the media knew, clearly our military had to, right? Or at least our government agencies.

So for Kirby to say there wasn't much that could have been done. That just sounds like complete incompetence and and reckless irresponsibility to me. Because there were a lot of things that could have been done. You know what? You could have allowed the people.

Who the 13 service members who were there? standing at Harmid Karzai International Airport. they recognized who that bomber was. That bomber had apparently made a couple of dry runs in the days leading up to the attack. They knew who the bomber was.

They could recognize him in a crowd. they knew that he was affiliated with terrorists. and they knew that he was planning something fatal. But yet their orders prevented them from acting on it. Because they were given orders from top.

You know, you're not killing any, you're not sniping any terrorists, you're not doing any of that. It could have taken him. But they were told not to. It's unbelievable.

So I Thirteen people. lost their lives, and the fact that it was at Harmied Karzai International Airport. And at Bagram, as Kane and I talked about, what was it, just earlier this week? Mm-hmm. Yeah.

I mean, you you go from a um Outside of the city. Um somewhat isolated, very well fortified. Airport two To a non-well-fortified airport in the middle of the city where you have to go through. A Oh. No man's land.

Of I mean, go through the city of Kabul. Deal with the terrorists that are taking over portions of the city. Taliban's rolling in. I mean, we actually had to make a deal with the Taliban to get people. to the airport safely because we couldn't, as the United States, guarantee it ourselves.

And like I said, that should be the big talking point. It ought to be a big focus of the debate. But it won't be. 'Cause our Republican Party has the weakest leadership of that I think I've ever seen. It's ridiculous.

I don't think Ryan's previous would have allowed for will have allowed for this stuff. I don't dislike Ronna McDaniel. But I dislike the way she's running the R and C. was Ronna Romney McGinn, which she used uh a lot until the Romney name became kind of caustic and Mm. She wanted to disassociate from that.

But Instead we're focusing I I mean that wasn't a big every ev the the party should have been hammering that. And it's not. Republicans are their own worst enemy. It's not Democrats, it's Republicans. I wanted to touch on some of this culture stuff too.

Do you remember we talked last week about this story? Which I'm not going to be watching this damn movie. It's the live action. I don't know how many live action Snow Whites you need. Didn't we just have a live action Snow White with that Chick from Twilight who was always like, yeah, yeah.

And that's like the only thing she could do was, yeah, yeah. That was all. And uh Didn't she? She like slept with the director or something, broke up as he and her broke up their marriage. Anyway, uh.

They're doing a live action. It's uh Galgado is in it. Galica Doe, we're supposed to believe, is the evil stepmother. And that Rachel Ziegler chick, who is in Westside's story, the remake, with Ancel Agort, who I thought. You know, that was a good cast for this.

But she's so annoying now. She's like every annoying cliched theater kid wrapped up in one person. She's twenty-seven years old. She's Uh co she has been bashing Snow White, the film. And she was bashing the original story and saying that it was the you know, the prince was the stalker and Snow White I mean, they basically appropriated a character and then just did their own story and ruined the original.

So Now, branding experts are telling her, are telling Disney, dude, this chick is going to tank this movie. Because she's getting backlash.

So she three years ago she had all of her fans go And try to bully Gina Carrano when Gina Carrano had boop, bop, beep as her pronouns. And none of Gina Carrano's weak ass castmates on The Mandalorian that I immediately stopped watching defended her. And Then It came out, Rachel Zeigler said, I hope the world becomes kinder. And she's having a fit because she's getting backlash about the stuff that she had said about Snow White. But you sent literally like an army of trolls to go and attack someone because pronouns and then she was like, I love pronouns.

I think everyone should use pronouns.

So now, this branding expert is like: look, the backlash to this annoying chick is going to tank your big-budget Snow White remake. And they said that executives are going to be having crisis talks. because this is turning into a disaster. She's, I mean, she's not doing. I don't understand how you could convince people to go see a movie when you spend most of your time bashing it.

Like she's bashing the material upon which the movie is based. In fact, You know why they couldn't have the prince? Because the prince would have cut, he just let this broad stay asleep. I said this a few days ago on social media. I was like, there's no way the prince, no way Prince Charming would have woken up this chick, this Snow White.

She would wake up and be like, My truth, meh, meh, meh. He wanted her to stay asleep. He wouldn't have wa I wouldn't wake her up either. No, Chick, you go ahead and you go ahead and catch those Z's. Go ahead.

The expert said there was a time when Disney actors were media trained and thoughtful about the impact of their words while sticking to key messaging about the film. But the the rewrite of Snow White As a quote-unquote boss girl, which is a phrase I hate. I don't I hate it calling grown women girl. I hate that. I loathe it.

Just stop it. You're not going to chase youth by infantilizing yourself. But they said Disney needs to be careful with how they portray Snow White and with their actors and how they promote this movie going forward. I'll have to say, you didn't really get any of that with Margot Robbie, did you? With the Barbie thing.

You didn't really get that with Mark. Margot Robbie stayed true. I will give her. I have not seen that film. But she stayed true and she didn't like you know, she promoted the movie and from what I saw, every interview that she gave, it was about the movie.

I mean, woman even wore pink everywhere. She wore pink on the red carpet. There was a picture of her on Daily Mail. I was reading about some Hunter Biden thing, and up on the right column, you guys know that's that that's the trash that you read, you know, but you pretend to be reading the real smart stuff. and she was walking to the airport With her husband, and she's all in pink.

She got the pink suitcase. Like, she was marketed Barbie to the nines. It was smart. and she focused on the movie. I don't know what this chick is doing.

This chick, I mean, would you. Knowing nothing about how apparently woke it is. Hearing an actor talk about the film in which they are in. in such a manner That doesn't make persuade me to wanna see it. It makes me think it's gonna suck.

Right? She's like running people away from this film.

So, these executives are like, oh man, this is not looking good. Not looking good. And now, all of the news you would probably miss, it's time for Dana's Quick Five.

This is a horrible story. Sickened witnesses described hearing a loud crash and seeing body parts stown across the street. After a guy in pajamas jumped off of the New York City Mandarin Oriental Hotel. Hit the marquee where he split in half. It was 750 feet at Deutsche Bank Center in Manhattan.

And oh my gosh, it's scattered across the street. He hit the marquee and it just severed him. Oh my gosh. And they just, I mean, this sounds like a, this is, oh my gosh. They, so far, they have not released his identity.

The only thing that police have said is that he's like in his 30s or 40s. That's about it. And they said it didn't look like anything happened had happened outside that contributed him to going off of you know to the roof. They just, you know, oh my gosh, what a horrible story. And apparently there were witnesses and people who heard it just awful, awful, awful.

Also, oh gosh. This, a man is accused of drunkenly shooting and killing a bear in Georgia, Georgia, WSB-TV. Oh man, he looks rough. It's Forsyth County. Deputies received a report of a bear that was shot.

A woman was with her mother and four children. She said she heard three shots from outside and that she saw a bear running up the hill into the woods and there was another shot that fell to the ground. They said they sent out Georgia Department of Natural Resources were at the scene. They told neighbors the bear was not a direct threat to anyone and was shot. And then they got the Billy Coward is the guy that they ended up arresting.

They said that he was in his yard with his chickens and he felt threatened. And he said, so he ran inside and he said, that's when the bear ran into the woods. And he grabbed his rifle inside, ran outside, and shot the bear. And then they said, why can you not speak any of your words without slurring everything ridiculously? And then they found, then, because he was completely drunk.

He's also a convicted felon.

So he got charged with a whole bunch of stuff because he was drunk and he was shot a bear and he was a convicted felon. He shouldn't have been armed according to law in the first place, et cetera, et cetera. Yeah, there's very specific laws about that with the bear stuff. Let's see. The officials are searching for a person in Wisconsin who released 3,000 mink.

Like the little animal. Like they're weasels, right? Aren't they like little weasels? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, in Wisconsin, authorities are looking to track down the person responsible for releasing thousands of mink in one county. That happened in the town of Lincoln in the middle of the night.

Somebody went out there. and release literally 3,000, approximately 3,000 mink. And they said that this is, they've had incidents like this before, but this is the smallest. Yeah, it probably sounds like an animal rights person. That saved him from becoming something to say.

Let's see, the Pennsylvania Department of Health is distributing free potassium iodide tablets for residents living near the Limerick generating station. They're doing it for a year. Uh That sounds sus, dude. That sounds super sus. Stick with us.

We got a lot more in store. Why are IRS agents A armed? And B, why are they conducting training exercises in which one agent accidentally shot another? Stick with us. YouTube, Facebook, or DirecTV.

If you're looking for the number one afternoon host in the country, you've found her. Download the podcast every day to catch up. The Dana Show. And I believe that one reason that Hunter was CC'd on those emails where Joe Biden was using a fake name is so Hunter could prove to the Ukrainian oligarch: look, help is on the way. Because we heard from Devin Archer say that the Owners of Barisma were squeezing Hunter Biden, saying, We need help from Washington.

Now, who do you think they were referring to when they were talking to Hunter Biden, who they said was dumber than their dogs, who was a drug addict, who had no experience, then we need help from Washington? Who do you think they were talking about? And here we see now evidence that shows Joe Biden didn't have a wall between the government and his son's shady business dealings. He was copying him on foreign policy to let him know ahead of time: help is on the way. We're going to go in there and we're going to fire that prosecutor who's trying to bust you for corruptions.

Yep, yep, we know that. That's uh James Comer. He told the Ukrainian oligarch help was on the way. Welcome back to the program, bottom of this third hour. Daniel Lash with you.

So, uh. You know that the Federal Judge Delaware. dismiss the tax charges. against uh Hunter put old Hunter Biden there. Right.

Yeah. the misdemeanor tax charges against uh First son, Uh s uh infant baby. Hunter. Infant Baby Joe Biden's baby hunter. Uh they uh dismiss those.

According to new Filings. Can you imagine not paying your taxes? How do you think that would go? Hmm? I can imagine.

You you you you get in trouble. But not Hunter. Hunter's not going to get in trouble. He can do whatever he wants, guys. It's Hunter Biden.

The judge. Norieca granted without prejudice a motion from the Delaware U.S. Attorney and newly elevated special counsel David Weiss to withdraw their case against the 53-year-old first son after a prosecutor said he'd have to stand trial in D.C. or Southern California.

So they said that, yeah, they're going ahead and they're dismissing the tax charges. He made millions off of selling our national security to China. But And he didn't claim it. It can't be pursued again, but do you think it's going to? No.

This is done. That was just a. That was just uh to show that there wasn't there's partisanship, but not like that much. Mm-hmm. So they the IRS allows there so it's fine for Hunter Biden to make millions and millions and millions and millions of dollars.

of selling off Essentially. National security of the United States, particularly rare earth elements, etc., to China, making millions off of it, not claiming any of it. and then nothing. But the IRS had to hire 87,000 guys, 80,000. Seven Because you know, it's gonna shake down those rich people.

You know, the rich people for their stuff. It's going to shake them down. Had to have 87,000 agents. Hunter Biden can do whatever, but. You know.

Gotta have. Eighty something billion dollars to hire thousands of IRS agents. with the Inflation Reduction Act. Because, you know, the IRS said they just there's no possible way they could go after these tax cheats. Would you describe Hunter Biden as a tax cheat?

Yeah. I think I would yeah, I would too. Yeah, I I would describe him as a as a tax cheat. But no, you can't. You can't.

Can't uh not going after him. that's different for you. 'Cause you're you're not you're not the first son. You're not Infant Baby Punter Biden.

Now While we're you know talking about the IRS with all of this, I wanted to share this story with you. Let me pull this up. IRS agent kills fellow agent at Phoenix shooting range. This is during a training exercise. On Thursday, an IRS agent lost their life due to an inadvertent uh shooting by another agent.

And this is ABC 15. The Federal Bureau of Prisons said they're actively looking for they're actively looking into it. It uh they said it was at this firing range, at the Federal Correctional Institutional Phoenix Range, and they said that they uh haven't provided other specifics, but it was being used by multiple. federal agencies The IRS agent was transported to the hospital, they said, but regrettably did not survive. Y A Do you even have to have an armed IRS, number one?

And number Two, why are they conducting training exercises like this? Any ideas, King? Why would they be conducting these types of why would they need to be armed? Why do they need to be conducting these types of exercises? Yeah, and it is confusing because didn't they recently say they're going to stop with the home visits?

So It's It's kind of um Not just confusing, but To me, it's A little scary. Yeah. A little bit.

So it's like an army of Tax. Accountants, yeah. An army yeah, I mean y oh boy. I Don't No, I I don't know. I I just don't I why in the world?

Like, why do they need all of this? Why do why do you have to have IRS agents, which is a completely unconstitutional entity to begin with, to be armed with taxpayer paid for weapons and taxpayer paid for ammunition? And And then they're doing these training exercises. where an agent was shot and killed, inadvertently, regrettably, they said. It's not for people like Hunter Biden.

It's not for people like him. You know, not for people who make millions and millions and millions of dollars with the CCP. Seems like it's just for the rest of us, doesn't it? Hmm. I mean, it seems like it's just For the rest of us.

Was Alec Baldwin teaching this class, by the way? God, I hope not. Was he running this training exercise? I'm curious. Remember when this first came out about these armed agents?

This is last year, actually. And it looks like um Reuters was writing that It was a false It would they fact-checked it and they said it was false that the IRS is not hiring thousands of armed agents. They're saying that the job ad shows an opening for a quote unquote specialized unit.

So the internal revenue service is hiring for specialized units that are armed. We that still doesn't answer the question as to why. Yeah, that doesn't That doesn't make any sense. I agree. And why do we even why do we even need a specialized unit anyway?

Oh, for all of us, that's right, yeah. Mm-hmm. For all of us. That's right. Yeah.

Good grief. This uh I I did have one. It's not a very politically correct. Observation. Cain.

I don't mean to sound crass. It is one less agent. That's true. I'm just pointing out the math here. Don't get mad at me.

This is a a const constitutionally objectionable Integy. Just saying.

I just But no, they they I I'm just this is what people this is why why people are get so aggravated. Over This Biden the Biden business because it's such a I mean, they see Hunter Biden do all of the stuff that they're threatened with all the time. This guy, and he gets a pass on it. Everyone else is struggling and paying high taxes, trying to just afford basic stuff. They see everything that's happening in Maui.

Those people pay their taxes and what they get for it. Not a di they got their house their whole town burnt down and one hundred and eleven people dead. Yeah, one time seven or Yeah, they get a one times seven hundred dollar payment. At a time when Joe Biden's inflation Has made it to where every American family is paying on average of $709 more annually. No, that's per month.

Oh, per month.

Sorry. Yes, per month.

Okay. Yes, thank you.

So he just gave back a per month thing for them.

So here's your $700.

Sorry we ignored all of the experts and burnt your town down.

Sorry we ignored all the effort all the experts warning us about wildfire threats and how we need to make sure that the power lines aren't sparking during dry conditions and hurricane force winds. But hey, here's seven hundred dollars. Go ahead, go buy yourself something pretty. That's what they did. They just did that.

Billions go to Ukraine monthly. Yeah, what was the uh how many it it was another forty billion that they're trying to push to send. Yeah. Uh they didn't have no wildfire. I mean they can, you know what what have Europe handled them?

That's in Europe's backyard. It's not in our back yard. That's in Europe's backyard. I'm so tired of cleaning up everything for everybody as a nation. You know what I mean?

Good heavens. Good heavens. I saw um Gosh, a couple of things. Because we're So next week is the debate. We're getting we're gonna Uh game that for you on Tuesday.

Tell you what people need to do, what you need to watch for, and the disasters that await every one of the candidates. I kind of want Christie to sign the pledge and be there. Because I just want to watch a brawl. You know what? Why?

I mean, what the hell don't we just have these people enter? You can't say Octagon. UFC will get you. A trapezoid. And um Or a parallelogram.

Yeah, enter the rhombus. It's fight night here. In the r and the rhombus. Although the rhombus is easier to say, parallelogram would be funny to hear people drunk say it. Right.

Pearl Lingroom. But um why not we just like have them toss them all in there? Toss them all in there and just let it go. That's what it needs to be. But we'll game that for you on Tuesday.

Now, apparently, I don't know. The latest is that Trump may do an interview with Tucker and have that the same night, but that's still. I think speculation. And I I don't think and oh, by the way, we did talk to Fox. Yeah.

Lorraine asked a good question.

So we called, we talked to them because they had reached out and they were going to have, they asked us if we wanted Martha. To come on the show and talk about the debate. And I got to be honest, I was like, no, not if we can't cover it. I don't want that. We're not going to do it.

I mean, if we can't, and so they were, I don't know if it was just poorly worded stuff on the what they had out. But they said, no, it's fine. It's because it's news and politics. The news and politics can cover it, etc. Did it seem like they it seemed like they were saying that if it wasn't news and politics, if it was like for entertainment or non- news or political purposes.

That's when it was applicable. Right.

Yeah, for our show, because we're just disseminating news. Right.

We have the green light to cover it as we normally would.

Okay, yeah. And according to them, Media Relations, they said that this was. This ag you know, the laid-out agreement and all of that was every debate in the past. Yeah, I do disagree with that because the especially when it comes to the media player. Because I've never seen because I've I'm familiar with the restrictions that they've released before.

I do dispute that, but the media player particularly requests that you could if you're gonna if you're gonna write about it in a non-news format. Uh having to embed the media player, which is so bucky. Oh my gosh. I understand they're trying to keep everything proprietarian in one spot, but dang. That thing is a is a bear to like embed somewhere.

But um we'll be covering it. Just yeah, we'll be covering it. We'll be covering it.

So, anyway, long story short. We will, yeah, we'll be covering it. And so we'll we'll game it, we'll have like the biggest Uh the we'll we'll lay it out to what each candidate needs to focus on. And the biggest Hurdles that each candidate needs to overcome. But like I said, I want Chris Chris.

I just want to see a fight. I just go out there and fight. Come on, I'm done with this stuff. Catch the Dana Show noon to 3 p.m. Eastern on DirecTV Channel 347.

Republicans in the House Oversight Committee are currently investigating the Biden family's ties to Tornades. They have specifically pointed to Hunter Biden's financial ties with China. Does the administration view this investigation as legitimate? And is the administration concerned that Hunter Biden's ties to China pose a national security issue? I don't have any comment on that.

Oh, I have no I have no comment on that. Um uh none at all. None. Surprise. I mean, that seems like a big question, right?

Are they concerned about his China ties? That's a NATSEC issue? Seems like it is. I don't have any comment. Uh so what?

No, 'cause the admin oh, he's on vacation.

Well actually no he he did at least hold uh it Biden is at least uh meeting with Uh the what is it? The uh Camp David type diplomas diplomacy.

Sort of, I don't know. There he's meeting with Japan and South Korea, first ever trilateral summit. He looks so much older than these two dudes. Oh my gosh. Uh He looks so much older than the South Korean president and so much older than Kushida, the Japanese prime minister.

Oh my gosh. But they had their dis everything that I saw, it was not him talking. It was like those two talking to each other and then kind of talking at him. But. That's not what I want for I want the President of the United States, no matter what party, to be engaged and write.

right in it. I just don't I don't want to ever seem as though our nation is weak or Um Vulnerable. Because Our leader looks weak and vulnerable. I mean, there's you know, there is such a thing as as optics there. But he just why is he wa he He's he always walks kinda with his arms way out.

It's just a little But it it's like he almost grabs on to The uh Prime Minister. Al almost Like he needed balance, right? Is that what that looked like to you? Yeah. They were walking back down the pathway, and it looked as though, because there was a slight.

decline on the path where they were walking in it almost look like He wasn't grabbing him to He puts his arm around, like uh kind of on the on on uh at the base of his neck. But not in a way it's like, oh, hey, you thought it was going to be like that for a moment, but then the way he's holding him, it just looks like he needed it for balance. I'm not trying to read too much into it, but come on, it did look a little odd. It just looked odd. I don't know.

I just. And he certainly wanted to get away from the press. Oh, dude. Did he ever? He was sitting next to Blinken.

uh Anthony Anthony Blinken when they were uh in their uh little trilateral meeting so Um will you know I'm sure China was watching it closely. Maybe. I don't know. Do they or I don't know. Maybe there was more Hunter Biden business.

Who knows? All right. Today's stupidity came. All right. So since Biden took office, gas is up sixty two percent.

Grocery is up over nineteen percent. Rent is up 16%, electricity up 25%. This is Democrat rep Brendan Boyle. on the current state of the economy. For all the uh naysayers uh and doomsday types, This has been a pretty bad year for them.

At every turn, this economy has been getting better and better, and the overall economic picture has been getting better. What is this guy smoking? And how can I get some? Yeah, and how can I get that? What?

No, that's good God. Oh, boy. This is what they're doing. They're trying to sell you on something that isn't real. Bidenomics is failing and failing.

And people aren't buying it as polling shows. They're not buying it. Folks that does it for us this week. I hope you have a great week. God bless you.
