Friday July 26 - Full Show

Calm a lot. Hi. Hey there. Oh. Aw hi, you're both together.

Oh, it's good to hear you both. I can't have this phone call without saying to my girl Kamala, I am Proud of you. This is going to be historic. We call to say Michelle and I couldn't be prouder to endorse you and to do everything we can to get you through this election and into the Oval Office. Oh my goodness.

Michelle, Brock, this means so much to me. I am looking forward to doing this with the two of you, Doug and I both. And getting out there, being on the road, but most of all, I just want to tell you the. The words you have spoken and the friendship that you have given over all these years mean more than I can express.

So thank you both. It means so much. And we're going to have some fun with this too, aren't we? Not a single damn person believes that this is That this was a real thing. That's so genuine.

And can I ask a question? I mean, I got a genuine question that needs to be asked here. Um Why in the hell are you holding? the speakerphone up to your ear. What is up with that?

Notice how. And if you can, Juan, go back when you get a moment, go back to the when she's holding the phone up to her head. And you can see who's on the phone because you can see that. It's on speakerphone. And it's ri like who in the hell does that?

Like she's on. You can see it. She's on It says speaker on the it says speaker on the thing, doesn't it? That's true. It says Speakerphone on that, and she's like, I can't have this phone call.

Or no, that's Michelle Obama who's saying that. She's like, I can't have this phone call without. Without You know, making sure that we talk to our girl. How did she say her name? Kamala.

Kamala? She said Kamala. She didn't even say, Big Mike didn't even say her name right. It's Kamala. I was told that not saying her name right was like racist or sexist or TERFed or something.

I don't even know what it is anymore. There's so many names associated with it. But who in the hell holds? The speakerphone up to their ear. That's like the whole reason why there's a speaker phone.

You don't Hold it up to your ear like that. That you that would be annoying.

Well I That is so fake. It's so damn fake. It's so fake.

So genuine. The look on her face. Oh, Michelle. The interaction. It took him long enough to endorse her, didn't it?

It was moving. Who holds the speakerphone up to their face, though? That's a really touching exchange. That's like a grandma move. Like, who does that?

Who's like. Who says they're in Holtz or speakerphone? Up to their face like that. Welcome to the show. I don't guess, you know, it's Dan Lash here with you.

Hold on right on. What are you doing? top of the first hour on a Friday, she's, you know. Oh man. And then, what is she went to a record store?

First off, you can, you guys know you can lit if you're watching me, then you're watching the simulcast. I have to tell you how to watch the simulcast if you're watching it. And you can listen coast to coast. We got this all right. It's Friday, we're all tired of this nonsense.

She also went to a record store. And she got like basically So she picked some focus group peer reviewed. Music. Like nobody believes that she went in there and she even knew who Poor Game Best was. Nobody believed that.

Come on, you guys didn't believe it. You didn't believe it. But she finally. Um Got the endorsement. of the Obama's, the coveted Obama's endorsement.

And I don't know if that's going to be enough to help her because she just doesn't look genuine. She's just not genuine looking. This whole thing is so. We're going to talk about here coming out. Trump won't do debates with Kamala Harris, and the left is ticked off.

Y'all don't get to be mad over that. And they're like, oh, he's afraid. Wait, what? We're going to get into some of this. But first and foremost, the Obama's finally backed her.

60% of Americans, according to a news survey, believe that she covered up Joe's condition. And she's gonna have to defend against she's gonna have to defend her super left wing Record. I mean, I don't know how else to say it. She's got a very, very left-wing record, and she's going to have to defend that. And I think that the GOP, I think they've started to define her as such.

And uh, it's very important that they need to keep doing that because they've they have to define her, not allow her the opportunity to define herself. There's a couple, we have about 110,000 audio sound bites. I think Juan and Steve are going to kill us. Came. I think we've got to look behind our back when we leave the studio today.

We're going to get murked. This um I I am I want to, there's like five sound bites that I want to play simultaneously. Yeah, because we got the KJP stuff and then we have all of these surrogates who were going all in on Harris. And then there's a ton of these talking points coming out. And so.

This on top of all of the talking points that came out with the DNC. is amazing. They've got their talking points out. Audio summed by 24. Uh and it sounds like I mean, they're reading all of this stuff word for word.

Just play this. This is wild. She was never actually border czar. Border czar, which was not something that was formally conveyed upon her. She's been labeled incorrectly by some members of the right as the border czar.

Republicans named her the border czar. Republicans have always exaggerated what her job was at the border. Republicans, again, have labeled her the border czar. But that's not exactly what President Biden asked her to do. She was never put in charge of the border.

That wasn't actually her task. Not to secure it, but to address the underlying roots of migration. She was charged with leading the administration's efforts to address the root causes of migration. The root causes of migration to the U.S. The root causes.

Root causes. Root causes of immigration. We also want to point out that right now, apprehension numbers continue to decrease in our country, especially over the last few months. And I just want to note that border crossings have been going down. And illegal border crossings are lower right now.

Migrant crossings. See, now here's the migrant crossings going down. I mean, there's like the whole thing. Um I mean it was on the web site. the White House website.

That's the weird thing about this. Uh you can't really Deny that it existed because there are all the receipts in the world out there. And Like, for and again, just a reminder Axio started this. They're all in on this, and they're all in on it because this is the thing that absolutely hurts her the most. Is is really the the immigration issue.

And Axios literally said, I mean, not only did Axios say it, Joe Biden, we played that audio yesterday. He had said he called her the Borders Are. There was even a statement on the White House website calling her literally the Border Czar, saying that she was in charge of the border, dealing with border issues. It wasn't just looking at the root causes of migration, which is like stupid word-salad nonsense. And it says White House border coordinator just step down.

So that it was Roberta Jacobson's departure so they could actually put Kamala Harris. They even said that the old quote-unquote borders are stepped down because, quote, her role as one of the administration's top border officials, talking about Kamala, had eclipsed her position. And The I mean, USA Today had reported it. Axios had reported it. I mean, she.

I mean, they literally tweeted: Harris will lead U.S. efforts to stem migration. Uh, Twitchy had a bunch of receipts on this as well. Uh, they said that she's, you know, CNN, Vice President Kamala Harris, is tough task. She's leading the leading the leading border issues, addressing migration.

It's not getting any easier this year. Politico, I mean, they literally said that she was the border. I mean, they said she was a border czar. That Joe Biden called her the border czar. I mean, they quoted Joe Biden because Joe Biden said borders are.

So they quoted Joe Biden saying borders are. I mean, this goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on. And I mean, it is amazing to me how all of these people. Have all reported this, and now they're trying to go back and say. That She was never what Joe Biden said on camera that she was, or what was on the White House website of what she was.

We've all seen this. This is the stupidest damn thing. Why are we not letting them get away with this? This is not gonna happen. I mean, you guys think that, you know, uh yes, the left The left is is is you know absolutely uh relentless, but we are even more so.

And I loathe the media. And this is one of the reasons why I loathe the media. I mean, she absolutely was I mean, she was this was what she was meant this is what she was. She was put in this position. I mean the White House at White House dot gov.

They had it on their website.

So This nonsense has got to stop. In Congress type that look what I put in slide. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's up on the congressional website. It was on the Senate website.

It's actually in House Resolution 253. Let's read 253. Whereas on March 24th, 2021, Vice President Kamala Harris was named quote unquote border czar in charge of leading efforts to stem migration across the United States-Mexico border. Hmm. What was in quotes again?

Borders are interesting. Absolutely, completely. Borders are I mean There is no Arguing this. This is, I don't know why they, you're not going to sit here and undo stuff that's been out there. Uh I mean she was quote axios The number of unaccompanied minors crossing the border has reached crisis levels.

Harris, appointed by Biden as border czar, said she would be looking at the root causes that drive migration. This was this was literally in twenty twenty one over at Axios. New York Times as well, they noted, and remember she was the border administrator who stepped down. Quote, she was chosen as Mr. Biden's border czar, said she would retire from government.

She was happy to see Ms. Harris assume the work of stimming migration from Central America.

So they even called the previous border administrator the border czar. And they were fine with that. Kamala was completely fine with that. Title when she thought it was helpful to her, and when they could leverage it to make it look as though they were doing something about immigration. We've got more on this because now Trump.

Has said he's not, he is not going to be debating at all whatsoever, not going to be debating Kamala Harris. And I, quite frankly, don't blame Republicans. They had agreed to Trump-Biden debates. And then when Harris is not even the official nominee, I mean, I need people to realize that those delegates that are promising to go for her, they're not binding.

So she's not even the official nominee yet. She has to go through the convention process. And the idea that Trump should be expected to. To commit to a debate with someone who might not even be the damn president, presidential nominee for Democrats. Who knows what could happen at the DNC?

It's going to kick off technically as an open convention. That's why they're working so hard to virtually nominate her before it starts, which is making a lot of their voters angry. But I mean, the idea that. This is, you know, she is the official candidate.

Well, that's a lie because she's not yet.

So. Trump, I mean, he put out a response to this, and we're going to get in all of this here coming up. He has a response to the general election debates, and he said, quote, through his community, his comms director, given the continued political chaos surrounding crooked Joe Biden and the Democrat Party, general election debate details cannot be finalized until Democrats formally decide on their nominee. There's a strong sense by many in the Democrat Party, namely Barack Hussein Obama, that Kamala Harris is a Marxist fraud who cannot beat President Trump and they are still holding up for someone better. Therefore, it would be inappropriate to schedule things with Harris because Democrats could very well still change their minds.

End quote. That's actually completely. That's true. That's I mean, it's true. All of that's true.

We're going to talk more about this coming up because now the left is trying to get their narrative out about this. In addition, I've got some swing state polling for you. We're also going to get into some of these some of the other polling that's out. The GOP, there's a new ad from the Trump campaign. We got a lot of stuff to hit, including some cultural things, the latest with Secret Service, all of that and more.

A wax replica of Sinead O'Connor was withdrawn by a Dublin Museum because they said that it was absolutely hideous. And so they couldn't, when the wax work was revealed yesterday, the museum's team decided to withdraw it to create a more accurate representation. And apparently, it's supposed to be really bad. I didn't like see, they don't show the foot. They said it looked nothing like her and it was hideous.

And they were shocked. And it didn't look like her at all. They were very upset about this. That's bad. That's real.

I wonder if it was bad of that as that Ronaldo statue, remember? Where he looked all kooky? Yeah.

So apparently, Apple's iPhone has fallen out of China's top five as their domestic brands are soaring instead in popularity. I'm sure that it's by choice that they can purchase that. I'm totally sure. They said the China's smartphone market recorded 10% year-on-year growth in the second quarter with shipments exceeding 70 million units. And I'm sure it's because people are free to purchase whatever they want, not forced to by their communist government.

Am I right? Uh-uh. Flaming hot Cheetos, the lawsuit's going to court. There's a lawsuit over flaming hot Cheetos. Of course, there is because this is America.

A former PepsiCo executive is suing the company, saying it destroyed his career because it questioned his claim that he invented the popular flavor of Cheetos. He said he was the one who invented flaming hot. They say, no, you're not.

So now they're fighting over it. There's literally a lawsuit coming up about chicken wings that I'm going to get into. That's next hour. The Fifth Circuit ruled that the FCC's universal service fee is unconstitutional. The court says that it is a misbegotten tax that violates the Constitution.

They need to say that about all of them, by the way. You know, those astronauts? Remember the astronauts that were telling you that were stuck in space? They've been there for 49 days and there's no end in sight. They're going to be there for like weeks.

They have no clue. Two astronauts stranded in space for 49 days so far, 41 days longer than their original planned mission, because the Boeing-built ride home is full of leaks and so it has to spend at least a few more weeks aboard the they got to be on the ISS for a few more weeks. Butch Wilmore and Sonny Williams were meant to spend just eight days, but they've been out there for forever. And they're gonna probably be up there for like weeks to come. That's crazy.

They have no, there's no wind in sight. That's a movie. CrowdStrike is offering a $10 apology gift card to say sorry for the outage. I'm really sure that that's gonna help my friend who had to have their delay, their chemo treatments delayed because of all of the CrowdStrike nonsense. That $10 gift card is gonna make them feel better about having their chemo delayed.

Yay. Hear my excitement. We got a lot more in store. Stick with us because we got all the latest. The Dems are mad over Trump not wanting to debate.

I agree with Annie Oakley, who said, I would like to see every woman know how to handle guns as naturally as they know how to handle babies.

Now, I myself regularly conceal carry a 9mm.

Now, that said, not every woman is like me, has had the hours of training that I've had, or feels comfortable around firearms due to years of use, or maybe they're by a gun-free zone. I'd like to change that what I can while encouraging self-defense at the same time.

So, this is where Burna comes in. It's kind of like a starter weapon. It's they make a non-firearm firearm. I like the idea of incredible force sending chemical irritants towards a threat as an additional option for women. And the Burna SD model shoots chemical irritant projectiles, 68 caliber rounds, that can deter threats in their tracks up to 50 feet away.

I mean, it is hard. Easy target acquisition, zero recoil. Burna is legal in all 50 states. There's no background checks, no permission. It's required.

It's shipped directly to your door. Gun-free isn't applicable to Burna. It's great for wherever guns are banned. Visit Burna.com slash Dana for 10% off. That's B-Y-R-N-A.com/slash Dana.

Make some common sense of the crazy headlines with the Dana Show podcast. Your on-the-go guide for getting up to speed on today's most important stories. Subscribe on YouTube, Apple, or your favorite podcast platform. It's extraordinary. Tough talk is this guy's calling card.

And now there's this extraordinary show of weakness. He agreed to, you know, he said anytime, anyplace. But more than that, he agreed to this specific debate on this specific network on this specific date. And now he's pulling out. And of course, it shows that he's afraid.

It shows that he knows if the two of them are on a stage together, it's not going to end well for him. Golly, nobody asked you, Bob the Builder. Nobody asked you. That's Secretary Mayor Newman, Admiral of the Canoe Fleet at Camp Wimpy Tonka, Pothole Pete, aka Poop Booty Juice. I say it like Biden says it.

Don't get mad at me. That's the new talking point that the left has on Trump is they're mad over the they're mad because Trump won't agree to the debate. Welcome back to the program bottom of this first hour. They're mad because Trump won't agree to any debate with Harris. Why the hell should he agree to a debate with Harris?

Let me tell you, this is what they've been saying. See, poop booty juice out there going, quote, has a presidential nominee ever agreed? agreed to a debate then pulled out. Remarkable show of weakness here. Um, your nominee pulled out of the entire campaign, bud.

Like literally like left the whole damn campaign. What are you talking about, weakness? Good heavens And then you have Kamala Harris, who is retweeting. I guess CNN reporters says Trump Camp says he's not going to do the debates. Kamala Harris goes, What happened to anytime, any place?

What happened to you being the official nominee? You're not even the official nominee yet? I mean, you're not going to. This is what the left wants. They want to be able to swap out their nominee 11 million times.

change whatever they want to on their ticket. And then also simultaneously demand that you can't not then continue to agree to the debate, even though they've changed all the variables on their end. That's not how this works. I mean, they a friend of mine said they're acting like this is a coronation, and they are. She needs to be the nominee.

This chick has not won a damn race since she was the senator out of California. Kamala Harris has not won a race since she was a senator out of California.

So you need to actually win something on your own merit first and not riding on a man's coattails. You need to actually win an election, win votes. Because this isn't the way to do it.

So now I mean You don't get to change all of this and then make demands after. That's not how any of this is going to work, and nobody's going to be playing that game. My favorite thing is to watch the left screech their heads off about saving democracy. We're going to save democracy. And then they totally disenfranchise their own voters and they pull their own primary pick.

I mean, the irony of this, I could sit here and watch this all damn day. It brings me such joy that if I, like, I woke up and I was feeling chilly this morning, you know, like you wake up. Girl's a little chilly, hadn't had no coffee yet. Wick was a little misbehaved. last last night.

And, you know, wake up this morning, it's a little chilly. And then I thought about You know, wow, you remember the left was Yes Screeching about saving democracy while they totally do sell over it on their own side. And it just gave me such a warm, fuzzy feeling, and it brought such joy to my heart and sunshine in my life. That I almost didn't need to go get coffee to continue powering my day. It was just, you know, it was like rocket fuel.

It was amazing. Really was. You know what I'm saying, Kane? Just some amazing stuff. But yeah, they're very upset because they thought, well, we can just change out all this stuff and we can have a debate.

What is she going to do during a debate? All she'll do is go, and what? She's just awkward, like bad. She's worse than Dukakis. I can't even believe I'm saying that.

Dukakis Like historically, I was a little kid when that happened. But I remember it was such a big deal that it pierced. My bubble of cartoons and Yeah. high C juice packs and all that stuff, right? And I was suddenly aware that this guy was like a loon and that he looked utterly fake.

So I I don't know. I mean, their nominee has not won a primary election. And she was pretty much coordinated in California as senator after she was AG.

So she hasn't won anything. You have not put in the look, James Brown said it best: you got to pay the cost to be the boss. You haven't paid no cost, girl. You have not paid a damn thing. You have not won any votes.

You don't want nothin'.

So you don't get to Democrats don't get to do this and then go, oh, well, I can't believe he's afraid. Your guy. Pulled out of the whole race. And Probably wears the diaper. I don't know.

Drools all I can't even can't even doesn't even know who's alive in the room and who isn't.

So I don't want to hear from you people. I mean, that's just this. I can't even believe we're doing this. Can you believe it's this bad? Oh my gosh, it's just so crazy.

And they're livid over this. They're absolutely livid over it. And I'm here for this.

So No, she needs to win first. She needs to win the nomination, become the official nominee. And then she can negotiate. with Democrats how they want to do Debates. Because anything can happen at this point, and these votes are not binding.

And I think a lot of the people who are sitting here screeching about I'm not sure if I can do it. He's absolute loons. Couple other things to touch on too, because I got It does bring sunshine to my life, and I am very happy about it. But I do get very, the media is just absolutely. Insane.

And I saw this one story. Trump falsely, this is CBS. Shut up. It says quote Despite Trump claim and a tweet showing support, Harris never donated to the Minnesota Freedom Fund. I'm sorry, what?

So they're trying to move the goalposts. She was publicizing it, and she was trying to raise money to it. Yeah.

Can we and Juan's got the tweet because the receipts don't lie. She promoted the Minnesota Freedom Fund, bailed out. Like felons, like people who committed felonies, burned down buildings, that were convicted rapists. A repeat offender who was set free. Oh, by the way, and that guy went on to murder a man.

on a train platform in St. Paul, Minnesota. He shot him six times. and cold blood. Pretty unbelievable.

So yeah, it's uh it's true. And they're trying so hard to absolve her of this. Miss Defawn the police. I told you the media was going to go all in. I told you these absolute rat bastards were going to go all in like this, and they are.

This is just getting started. We're not even at the peak of it yet. And her bump isn't that great.

So that means they're going to have to require more from the media. This is just amping up because her bump, she's already hit peak with her bump. I mean they're People, I think, were maybe a little bit relieved, and then they realized: wait a minute, she's really bad. And so now they're. Not too excited about her.

But they all got their talking points. And they all have their big thing. Their big talking points right now is that she was never in charge of immigration policy. They're all saying the same thing. She was never the borders are.

And now they're mad because Trump doesn't accept the changed Variables in the debate. Democrats changed it up and didn't seek consent first, and then yet they still expect. I mean, he agreed to a a a Biden debate.

So if Democrats want to continue having the they can they can get Biden back up, then they can put Biden up for the debate because that's what he agreed to. She needs to become their nominee first. And see what I think that his refusal. To accept these their debate terms, I think what it's doing is it's forcing them to admit that, okay, she's totally not a lock. Even though you have the Obamas reluctantly endorsing her in a weird way that I don't really think they were on the phone because it looked real weird.

And whenever someone's very obviously showing you their phone like that in an ad, it makes me think that it's totally not real. Didn't look real and she was holding up a speakerphone to her head. It was just real weird. I'm going to put it on speaker, put it proceeds to put the phone up to her head. Like, what in the world?

Someone explained this tech to her. But She's not anybody can come in at this point and still may. I mean, technically, like I said, it's going towards an open convention.

So, you know, you got to win a race. You got to be the nominee first before you're going to take this over. That's the bottom line. But this is just so it's just so goofy.

Now, she also is being made to own her record on a number of other issues. And I think that that's what Republicans need to Push. more and more. We've talked about before how elections are determined in the margins. And Daily Crawler has the piece, a new survey.

You're going to start getting a lot of these now. And I haven't broken this down, but it is a new poll that was released. and it gets into uh the independence. And how really you're looking at a number of independents, etc. This is Erasmus and Pohl.

looking at independence only. Trump 53 to Harris's 33. They're giving him a plus 20. with independence. And they said that Rasmussen said it wasn't a surprise to them.

Now, I haven't broken this down to see where these people lean either way, but. It's That's interesting, but when you look at the state by state, as I've done, it's still incredibly close. Uh you've got I think One of the closest that you got Wisconsin, they're tied at forty-seven. In Michigan, Trump's only plus one. None of this is within the mar is beyond margin of error.

Georgia, he's only at plus two. Uh, Arizona, he's up plus five.

So that's pretty significant. But And Arizona's going to be one of the states to watch because there's going to be a very Senate race very interesting Senate race out there.

So I think I don't know if I necessarily think that she's going to get anything else out of her bump. And I think you're still just now starting to see more. Uh As it pertains to Trump post-assassination attempt. But in the meantime, everybody's got their talking points. Audio Sunbite 2: Peter Ducey tells KJP that all of the Democrats on Capitol Hill have been handed.

A card. And they have been leaked out to the press with all these talking points that you're hearing and all these videos that we've been playing for you. Listen to this. Thank you, Corrine. Democrats on Capitol Hill are being handed this card with talking points.

about the vice president and the border. Do you know who's handing this out? I have no idea. You probably should ask her campaign. I don't know, you should probably ask the campaign.

I mean, you've Got Oh, and you should you know about it. You're the White House spokesperson. You should know about it. If they're up there handing out talking points. I mean That's you should know a little bit about it.

What's saying?

Now in the meantime 'Cause we've got All of this, we also have. We're going to get into some of the Secret Service stuff. When do the Olympics kick off? I really don't care. Is it tomorrow?

I thought I already. I don't know. I guess it did the torch thing. The more politicized it got, The less interested? I became.

So they've got all their celebrities there and they had trains to and from Paris were disrupted. By people, I guess, protesting. They said it was sabotage. Fires were set off at several rail lines. They said people were fleeing from the sites.

Excuse me, the. Train operators said that this situation is going to last all through the weekend. They were even saying that some of the athletes couldn't even get there. That's kind of that's unfortunate. But it's in Paris.

What do you expect? France has just allowed itself to get just to get rough. I mean, just run over roughshod. Yeah, Kane has the schedule. I'm not wa are you watching any of it?

'Cause I'm sure Zell not watching any of it. I'm seeing like some highlight stuff, you know, just like you would any political thing that's something you don't want to watch. You'll see the highlights like on Twitter and things of that nature. On X.

So that's what I'm looking for. I literally am not making any effort to watch it. Yeah, me there. They said the French capital Gearing up for these celebrations, travel chaos has been just been crazy. And they said that France was very embarrassed by the opening day shambles.

And there were flood warnings, a weather disaster. Lady Gaga is apparently performing tonight. The arson travel chaos. The locals say they're embarrassed by it. And they said that there were fires at key facilities.

Trains were just halted. Almost a million people were affected, including athletes and spectators heading to the game. And now they have weather issues, too.

So I don't know. I just feel like, you know, I don't know. It's just bread and circuses. That's why I don't get into the Olympics anymore. It's bread and circuses, is all it is.

It's all it is. That's why I don't get into a lot of sports, honestly. I'm going to be real. I'm not trying to be ignorant, but. Uh I I do feel like it's the it's bread in circuses.

Which This was, if you guys remember, that was a phrase. This Roman poet back in the days of yore came up with that. talk about how Rome was distracting, distracting its populace. And diverting the Romans' attention away from their rotting empire with. You know, gladiators and duels and all this other stuff, and you know, the races over at Circus Maximus and all of that.

So I. I um It was they no longer cared about being politically or civically involved and their birthright of that. And so they got. It's spread in circuses. It's just a distraction.

And I feel like that's what this is. I really don't even care. You know why? Because the goodwill is fake. Maybe at one point there was goodwill, but I don't really believe that there is anymore.

I really don't. I think it's just all just, even if there is, it's just the perception of it. And it's just done so as a strategy, not as anything that's, you know, genuine. And it just seems stupid, right? I really don't, I don't care.

Oh my gosh, who's going to win with this particular sport? I don't care. I don't really, I really don't care. Really don't care. It's all stupid.

It's all political. All of it. I mean, even the down to who's participating is political.

So, I don't know. And all the celebrities are there.

So you're just going to be, it's all going to be in your face the whole time. Is that mean? Am I being harsh? You might have a little bit of the Friday blues. No, I just don't.

I've never cared about any of those things. I haven't cared about the Olympics since I was in school. No, I get it. And there's only like a certain amount of Olympic conversations. competitions that I even care to watch anyway.

Yeah, you shared the schedule. Wait, let me peek it. Yeah, so like today they have shooting.

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. I would like him to say that to her face, right? But he won't, 'cause he's a little punk. Right? And that's what you have to always remember about Donald Trump.

He's a scared little pot. Hunk. Because the thing you would do if you were a big strong man who likes to beat on people right is that you say you debate whoever the Democrats put up. They want to put up Harris, we'll debate Harris. They want to put up Biden, you'll debate Biden.

They want to put up, you know, the dog from Chuck E. Cheese? You debate the dog from Chuck E. Cheese, right?

So that's uh who's that L.A. Mistahl dude? He also this guy's like He's always that kind of out of control, I think. Uh welcome back to the program. He's m they're mad because Trump isn't due on the debate.

He won't do the debate with Kamal Harris because Democrats changed out their, they changed out their candidate. He's also the guy that's gone out there with all kinds of conspiracy theories, and I'm not going to get into it, but I just. I don't have enough interest to give him any more breath, quite frankly.

So coming up. Polling. The GOP November head-to-head matchup. We're going to look at some of all of that, actually. And the latest, Democrats, Harris.

All of it, God help us. All-American company, they make really good products. And if you haven't checked out Caltech, you should definitely do so and sign up for their newsletter as well. And Caltech, Florida-born, everything Florida made, and right here in the US of A. The family-owned company they have been behind all of these innovative pistols and rifles and shotguns and accessories and gear, all kinds of stuff.

They are sub-2K Gen 3, 9mm carbine, light, foldable, and effective. Features upgraded action, redesigned operating handle for added comfort, lightened action for easy racking, and bidextrous bolt hold open as well, all providing improved manipulation.

So, see everything that Keltech has to offer for yourself. And that, what I was talking about, was the sub-2K Gen 3 at Keltechweapons.com. Follow them on social media. K-E-L-T-E-C-Weapons.com. Tell them Dana sent you.

President Biden always said that he wants you to be the last person in the room, particularly for big decisions, just as he was for President Obama. He just made a really big decision. Afghanistan. Were you the last person in the room? Yes.

And you feel comfortable. I do. Huh. That's interesting, flashback audio.

So she owns that then? Oh, c so she owns the whole situation with The Absolute. hideous, heinous. Afghanistan withdrawal.

Okay, alright, we got it.

So she owns it.

Okay, there you go. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. Top of the second hour.

So she owns it, all right. That's another thing to tack onto her record. She so badly wants to look like she look, I did stuff too. Look at me, I was there Except for like the border when they made me borders are. Except for that.

No, she was there. That's that's totally true. And she she was and she was part absolutely part of it.

So now I guess, you know, she can have this tacked on as well.

So she knew and she was totally fine with the way that everything was done over there in Kabul. Unbelievable. That should be an ad. The Republican Party should make an ad out of that and just hammer the hell out of her insane record. Because it is insane.

I mean her She's so far left. That I think you don't even really have to mention it. But I'm not saying don't mention anything else because. You know, she was proudly celebrated. By the President as a DEI hire.

who said that he was adhering to diversity, equity, And inclusion, and he promised his base that he would only consider a female of color for his VP role. Remember this, this is back in 2020, that's what he promised. And so he. used it as like A substitute for any kind of merit that it was by itself merit on its own face. And so.

Why is that a bad thing now to point out that he and other Democrats advertised her as such?

So, no, we're not. The reason that they're trying to shame you away from those talking points is because it compromises them, because they were all over. Discussing it. They were all over celebrating it.

Now, suddenly, I don't know.

Now it's different.

So This um I'm telling you, as we barrel towards whatever Nov whatever November's gonna bring, A few things. Swing state polls are narrowing. And you have to realize, too, the Senate. Hangs in the balance. That's one thing that could be captured by Republicans.

Public policy polling and Rasmussen did some of the last two surveys, and the closest races are in Pennsylvania and Arizona. And in Arizona, let's see, because it according to polling. In Arizona. I mean, it's so close and so much of this is mainly it I mean, it still is in within the margin of error, but this is forty nine to forty four. This is one of the latest.

It's from the Hill Emerson, one of their battleground polls. And Pennsylvania has Trump 48, Harris 46.

So that one's still technically within the margin of error, but he's pulling ahead in Arizona. Very important in Arizona because you have Kristen Sinema, who is leaving the Senate. And so it's the race is between this Democrat Obviously, Democrat and Republican, but you've got also the third congressional district. Carrie Lake is going for that. Both polls.

Let's see, with there were two polls that showed Lake coming in behind the Democrat. And so you have two uh Kristen Sinema's Senate seat. We'll see what happens with that. in Pennsylvania Uh you have uh McCormick versus Casey. And Casey was up plus three.

Apparently McCormick's primary challenger fared better against Casey. in the primary polls than McCormick did. But apparently, I think the machine wanted McCormick.

So I don't know. That's what it and I think even former POTUS endorsed him.

So I don't know what's because Bob Casey, gosh, it's Bob Casey so bad. But he's got RCP average has him up by almost six points, Casey up by almost six points. That may not be winnable. We're still a little far out, but still, a lot of this depends on some of the momentum that the two candidates at the top of the ticket get. And one of them hasn't won any primaries to really call herself the presumptive nominee at this point, I don't think.

You have Michigan. Debbie Stavenau is leaving her seat. She was there for. 24 years. And there's a Democrat that's pushing up against Republican Mike Rogers.

Uh and The Democrat was up by three. Ten points in the public policy polling was plus ten.

So. My point is that there are a number of these seats everywhere from Nevada, Arizona, et cetera, where they're really, really close. And it's still means that Republicans could capture majority in the Senate, but I A lot of this can be just completely destroyed by whatever happens at the top of the ticket. Poor Democrats too. And that's why another reason why they're so worried behind it.

W worried about it. I mean, it's There there I mean uh there was the headline, this is how desperate the left is. To try to solidify this because they're looking at these down-ticket races like many in these swing districts. There was an editorial at Newsweek that said it's time for black men to get in line behind Harris. There was an actual headline at Newsweek.

Like, you don't, if you're black, you don't have the freedom to vote how you want to. You have to vote for the Democrat candidate. Otherwise you're not authentically black. That's what the left has promoted for forever. They've promoted that nonstop.

And now they're trying to call in some other return on their investment for it. I don't know. But you have James Carville who's out there warning people, telling them that don't be too giddy with your elation. He's saying, look, that's not going to help. He goes, that's not what.

He said that that's not what we're going to be facing as we roll towards fall. He actually is correct on this. But I don't know if Democrats are going to listen to it. I mean, if we got this place, why is by the way? When Carville does his interviews, notice how he doesn't GAF at all anymore.

He's like, no, I'm going to wear a sweatshirt. I'm not even going to sit up straight for the shot. I'm looking at the shot right now, and he's like leaning sideways in a chair. And I can only imagine that the producers are mad because they want you to square up and you got to have a good shot, etc. But Carville's warning them: don't get too excited about all this.

And he's not wrong. Again, you're talking about the Democrat leader. I'm not saying nominee yet because she's not, who did even barely scored one percent in the last primary, came in behind Buttigieg.

So I mean You can't be too excited about that yet. This is Carville warning his party, but I don't know if they're going to listen. I got to be the curmudgeon. I have to be the skunk at the garden party. This is too triumphant, okay?

This is everybody's giddy. I'll get the coverage and it's great. If I had to write a play about what I think it's going to be like, it would be entitled The Ice Pick Cometh.

Okay. Get ready, they're coming. All right, and it's good, everybody should feel good and liberated and everything else. But if we don't win the election, we haven't done anything. We haven't changed the temperature in America.

We haven't changed anything. And I think the vice president of hope. that you know her campaign is getting ready. I hope they'll listen to my friend and fellow New Orleans Don Brazil who actually I think has the same kind of view of politics that I do. And they're coming at us.

And they're going to keep coming. And this kind of giddy elation is not going to be very helpful much longer because that's not what we're going to be faced with. I think he's right about this. And I think that the Trump ad that came out. The attack ad, the first attack ad that the campaign had that came out showing Kamala as this like super.

out of touch, San Francisco progressive. I mean, that's the du that's the Bush v. Dukakis strategy, because Dukakis was painted as this super far left Massachusetts progressive, although they said liberal back then because it was before progressive was began being widely used. But This Is It's going to be interesting. In that, I don't think Democrats tend to get over their skis and they tend to get super excited and allow that.

To kind of overshadow everything else and forget what their strategy is, they do get distracted. Whereas it's like the right takes a long time getting to the point of doing what the left does in terms of promoting and protecting the candidate. But I don't think it's not going to be difficult to paint Harris as a super far-left progressive. My gosh, we were talking about some of her record yesterday. I mean, all you have to do is keep talking about the border, which they're, I mean, you can tell that that's they're terrified of that because that's why they're working overtime to try to scratch it off of the internet.

Just wild. But that's what they're doing. That's what it that's what it looks like. I mean she She hasn't lost all the support, I think, in the manner, the same way that Dukakis had at this point, really. But.

I don't know. In looking at a lot of the polling, Trump is pulling away in a couple of these states, but it's not a done deal yet. Remember, you still have October surprises and all that kind of stuff. And that's to say that she's even the nominee. I mean, my gosh, this is like what, mid to late August that they have their convention?

Anything could happen at this point. If they so quickly coalesced behind her. Who's to say that they couldn't so quickly coalesce behind somebody else? The exact same speed and fervor. Especially when you have the House and Senate at stake.

I mean, this isn't just the White House. I mean, you could, you know. Yeah.

a number of uh a number of swing states. And It's close enough. It's weird that it's even that close. And that's one of the things I want Republicans to remember as well. Um This was a very different Uh ground.

Before the assassination a couple of weeks ago.

So I don't know. It's narrowing, but we're not out of the woods. In fact, we're not going to be out of the woods until all the votes are counted and it's announced at this point.

So you gotta be careful with this. Uh like in Georgia he's forty-eight, uh to Harris is forty-six. One of the reasons I I was pulling for Kemp as a uh he was my first choice. For a VP, and then Yunkin, and then out of the ones that were announced. It would have been Vance followed by Rubio.

Well, not even Rubio. I didn't want Rubio at all because I saw him crumple on stage after Parkland. But. One of the reasons I was looking at a governor like Kemp is because Kemp He could bring in Georgia. I think that might have been a lot closer because these are new surveys.

It's a newer survey.

So this I think Republicans need to be realistic about how close this is going to be. This is not going to be a runaway race. It really is. It's I would be shocked if it is. And What makes this campaign also a little different is that normally And I think I've said this before.

You know, you guys got to look at this like this is a marathon, and we're going to get, you know, we've got a lot to do before we get to the end of it. No, not the way it is right now. I mean, at least for Democrats, this is a sprint for Democrats. You have, what, a little over a hundred days? Till election day came?

I think it's about a hundred. Yeah, and early voting starts in just a little over a month. Which is wild to me. She is probably not going to be super accessible. aside from well scripted events, appearances, even probably at the convention.

So She's got to be super disciplined. They have to be super focused with name recognition, which is what the Obamas and others are going to be helping with. She's got a lot. She's got a lot to do, and she'll probably, if she becomes the nominee, she will get a bounce from the convention. And it'll probably be bigger than whatever little bump she got.

after being switched out with Biden.

So, keep this in mind. And a lot of the problems that Democrats had, what they're going to try to do going into this, is make it look like, well, They're going to simultaneously laud Biden as a self-sacrificial character in the vein of Washington. And then also try to present all of the issues with their party as being Biden-centric problems so that way they can say, well, look, we fixed it because it's not Biden anymore. Watch them do that. Hi, I'm George, an economics major at Hillsdale College.

Here's Hillsdale President Dr. Larry Arn with the Constitution Minute. The Declaration of Independence is more than a bold letter to a British king written by upstart colonists, although it very much is that. The Declaration explains the promise of America. that all men and women are born equal in their possession of natural rights, and that the proper exercise of these rights can lead to a full and deeply satisfying life.

Just as the Declaration explains America's promise, The Constitution upholds that promise. Its purpose is to protect the rights of all of us, our natural rights. This establishes the possibility, not the guarantee. that we can have a good life. This is true freedom.

So the cost of living crisis has hit sales of food, cars, luxury goods. Obviously, anyone who's ever purchased anything in the past couple of years knows this. They say that the global consumer backtrack from post-pandemic revenge spending is starting to hit companies pretty hard. They said everything from food producers to airlines, blah, blah, blah. You know, and it's also because of a hideous.

Economic policy coming out of this administration. That's probably also something to do with it, you know. They said that everybody's tapped out. And I mean, they're tapped out after punishing inflation. Uh and it's just uh a ripple effect.

So yeah, because everyone's broke. This isn't hard. Like how is this a news headline? It's I mean everybody's broke as all get out. It's not hard.

America's smallest apartments are getting even smaller. I don't think you should live in an apartment or condo unless you absolutely have to. Or I mean, if you want to, that's you, but. I can't stand people, like living by people. I don't wanna live by nobody.

I wanna share my wall with nobody. When you grew up, like in, we lived kind of in a rural area, so I, you know, we didn't have to worry about any of that. I can't even imagine living on top of people like that. But they're saying that studio units are losing space. They have 10% space than they had a decade ago.

And apparently this is, you know, okay well.

Well, yeah, I mean, again, this is all going to work. Economic policy is going to be reflected in everything. Gavin Newsom. has ordered California officials to clear homeless encampments. Because he's tired, I guess, of getting made fun of about not being able to do anything about the needles and feces everywhere.

So he's ordered them to clear out these encampments and to begin sweeping them out off of public property using newfound authority after the US Supreme Court's okay last month. They're removing anything that poses a risk to life, health, and safety, which couldn't that be all of it? At this point, tens of thousands of people living in tents across the state of California. And they said 180,000 people are homeless basically any given night. 123,000 are unsheltered and sleeping in tents, vehicles, etc.

So they're spending $24 billion in taxpayer money to try. try to figure out why people are homeless. Really? Oh, this get long. I can't.

Let's see here. This, yeah, and why didn't he do it before? That's also a good question. Is the musical mind immune to cognitive decline? The short answer is yes, according to a study.

Whether or not participants were in their 20s or 80s, they were equally adept at picking up musical themes they were asked to identify. And this held true across all pieces of music. Regardless of how familiar or unfamiliar the style was.

So that's interesting.

So the. It showcases the power of music to connect and keep your brain healthy.

So that's a very I'm not t I'm not totally surprised by that. We got a lot more to get into including That's all these media losers do. That's literally how I have it written down on my rundown. Stick with us. Our partners who help bring you free radio.

It has to be about a goal of saying everybody should end up in the same place.

And since we didn't start in the same place, some folks might need more. equitable distribution. Giving resources based on equity, understanding that we fight for equality, but we also need to fight for equity, understanding not everyone starts out at the same place.

So there's a big difference between equality and equity. Uh Equality suggest often everybody should get the same thing.

Well, that often assumes everybody started out in the same place. As opposed to equity, which is everyone should end up in the same place. And if you then understand not everybody started out in the same place, you understand some people need more.

So we all end up in the same place. Right. We are proud of the fact that equity is one of our guiding principles. This is communist. Proud of the fact that we understand.

Equality is important, but not everybody starts out on the same base. We see that people in our country are having an experience That is not equal. I mean, that's really from the Communist Manifesto. I mean, what she's talking about is the absolute opposite of what the Republic was intended to. What it was founded to do.

Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. the bottom of the second hour. I mean, that is as communist as it gets. And she gets into this is what I talk about, and I've been writing about this for over a decade: critical race theory.

I I've been writing pieces about this forever and it got Uh really the whole movement of critical race theory, which is Part of uh Marxism and it's part of Karl Marx's theory Really kicked off across college campuses back in the sixties. And so the idea of dividing people based on Just different factors. Like previously, it was always through economic status. And Marxists would try to divide people based upon. You know, if they were born into money, if they made money, if they didn't have money, etc.

And As more and more people realize the freedom through capitalism, And what that affords? It became a lot harder for Marxists to try to use that as a tool of division. And it became a lot harder. to mischaracterize capitalism when people could see it You know, working in front of them. And so they also like to create little phrases like end stage capitalism to describe what happens when government gets involved.

So it's not actually capitalism. Uh but that's you know, that's Marxist being dumb. But this new Again, as it this new theory making its way through college campuses throughout the 60s, critical race theory, of which DEI comes from, DEI is CRT in practice, critical race theory in practice.

So, critical race theory is all about that, the equity versus equality. And with equality, there is no discrimination. With equality, everyone has the same opportunities. And you're not punishing people for someone else's position being different from yours. You're not punished over things that you cannot control.

And with equity, that's exactly, in order to have equity, you have to have widespread discrimination. You cannot have equity without discrimination. And she even mentions it without saying it in the beginning that people didn't start out in the same position. Positions, therefore, you have to do something about it, and that's where she believes that that's where the equalness comes in. By invoking discrimination.

And discriminating against people who, through no fault of their own or choice of their own, are in different circumstances than maybe other individuals. And that's what that's equity. It is it's m uh creating an uneven playing field. And making it to where you have to discriminate against some and hold them back. as a way to uh help someone else.

So it's not equality. There's no Equal opportunity. The opportunity is unequal by design in equity. And they want to guarantee outcomes, guarantee that everyone has the same outcome regardless of the choices that people make.

So if you make bad choices in life, You don't have you have no accountability for those because that would be unequitable. Or, if your parents made bad choices in life, you know, I mean, you're that's it would be unequitable. to not harm someone else because their parents didn't or because they come from an integr I mean, it's just so stupid. You're you're using discriminatory practices against people for things that they can't control. And that's the that's the Marxist That's the Marxist division that's supplanting a lot of this class warfare as it relates to the economy.

And They I I I just I think that Equity is is for the week. Equity is a Marxist theory for the weak. People who can't do for themselves demand that others do for them. on the backs of yet still others. But this is one thing, especially when it comes to How do they describe uh forgiveness, college loan forgiveness.

and all of these other freebies, Republicans are going to have to really hone their messaging because you know that they're they have a superior product, particularly with the economy and taxation. They have a superior product. They want to save people money and they want to make sure parents are empowered to make decisions about their own children's lives and not strangers. I mean, that's, you know, it's about as social as it gets. Democrats are promising people free things.

So, this is where it gets, you know, they really have to press the pedal to the floor here and figure out their messaging on this. Because when you have. one party that's promising free everything. That sounds really good to people right now who are struggling with their grocery bills. who are struggling with their car payments, struggling with their mortgage payments, struggling with their utilities.

People who want immediate relief. Democrats are promising immediate relief, but it's at the sake of overall health economically. Trade-wise, everything. And that's the thing. When even if Democrats try to fulfill, which they never do, fulfill any of the promises that they've made, they're out there playing Santa and it's really hard to run against Santa.

I mean, no matter how, you know, they're looking at providing immediate relief and to hell with any long-term immediate relief for the sake of votes. They don't care how much it costs the taxpayer. They don't care what it's going to put the economy in. They don't care about any of that. Yeah.

GO the GOP has to outline how their policies help people Like for uh longer periods and can actually help quicken it. It's very hard to tell people, well, just suffer now and it's going to get better. That cannot be Republicans' messaging. That's what Democrats are framing it as. And she's going out there making speech after speech, promising all kinds of freebies.

all kinds of freebies. I mean, she's talked about, what is it? I think more debt for quote unquote forgiveness. She also, by the way, she praised Defund the Police. This is audio sun by 20.

Listen to this. This was a June 2020 radio interview. She really was on board with Defund the Police. Listen. Where do you stand on defund the police?

Right, so here's the thing: defund the police. The issue behind it is that we need to reimagine. how we are creating safety. And when you have many cities that have one-third of their entire city budget focused on policing. We know that is not the smart way and the best way or the right way to achieve safety.

For too long, the status quo thinking has been you get more safety by putting more cops on the street.

Well, that's wrong. Why can't you use the word training? Like, why is that so unbelievably hard for you to say? Oh, maybe it's because you have no idea what you're talking about. I don't know.

I mean just wild. It's wild. No, she promises all kinds of stuff. And whether she's it's horrible taxation, whether it's horrible with trade, then when it gets into culture, it gets even crazier. And She, you know.

She was saying one thing and doing another, with regards to Israel. She would not meet, she would not preside over the Senate yesterday as Vice President is President of the Senate.

So she's trying to have it both ways. She doesn't want to make dear Bornistine mad. She's trying to have it both ways. This is audio soundbite. Six And Th this is what she had to say about Netanyahu.

Listen. Uh So I just had a frank and constructive meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu, who I told him that I will always ensure that Israel is able to defend itself, including from Iran and Iran-backed militias such as Hamas and Hezbollah. Interesting that she was making these remarks and not Joe, right?

So he's in Mar he's or no, he's going to, um Camp David. He's gonna be at Camp David now.

So after he he was in Delaware. Flew to the White House for a day, and now he's flying to Camp David. I don't know how long he's going to be there. In the meantime, she's out there campaigning and playing president. Yeah.

She also had this to say, audio sound byte seven. Check this out. What has happened in Gaza over the past nine months is devastating. The images of dead children. and desperate hungry people.

fleeing for safety, sometimes displaced for the second, third, or fourth time. We cannot look away in the face of these tragedies. We cannot allow ourselves to become numb to the suffering And I will not be silent. But why was she silent when Hamas attacked Israel? and then Hamas used its own people as shields.

and Hamas blew up one of their own hospitals. And Hamas was using the rooftop of an elementary school to launch attacks. And Hamas was building terror tunnels underneath that hospital. Why was she silent all those times? Oh, that's right, because she doesn't like Jewish people.

I mean, I have no idea how else to interpret that. Why why was she silent for all of that? Mm, just saying. I mean, there's a lot of questions here. But she's out there playing president right now.

Not their plane, President. Just doing all she can. People who help bring you free radio, so you don't have to pay a fee, and we're grateful for that. Our folks over at Readywise, good friends of this program. And when I was telling you, one of my friends, I know a ton of people who got caught up in all the Hurricane Barrel stuff in Houston.

A Florida man said he did not know why he stole from Walmart. Deputies say, Quote, that was stupid of me. A Florida man found himself behind bars after he stole several items from a Walmart and hid them in a trash can. He told deputies that he didn't know why he did it. Eric Slaughter, 38, he was arrested after the incident charged with felony, larceny, and retail theft.

And it was a Walmart, and deputies responded to said Walmart. They met with a loss prevention officer. They said, slaughter. purchased He bought a plastic trash can, but had another trash can that had items inside of it that he didn't pay for. And he was trying to hide it.

in the trash can. They found a solar light, a thirty dollar solar light. Uh shoes. And that had, they were $25, and they had a switch tag for a 74-cent fishing dauber. uh over $80 worth of items.

And so he said he apologized for it and he goes, well, that was stupid of me. is what he said. When they asked why he did it, he said he didn't know. And then he goes, well, he didn't have enough money to buy him. Honestly, some of this sounds like Biden inflation.

Just saying. It really does. I've got a story about the. villages. This guy's mustache, he looks.

Like a vaudeville villain. And it once again Involves a golf cart. I don't know. I mean, I guess they drive around golf carts a lot in the villages. Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay. Yeah, because they have the golf cart chop shop. Second cars, like if you had a second car.

So this 40 year old who was driving a red Yamaha golf cart. uh about 10 30 at night on Wednesday. And he cut into the lane of a deputy who was following behind him. The deputy initiated a traffic stop. The guy, his name is Christopher.

Van Wettering, had been drinking. And when he was asked, okay, how much have you consumed? He said, quote, quite a bit. Yeah.

and he said he had four to five drinks. Oh, and that doesn't include the two beers and three shots. Oh. When he was asked to rate himself on a 0 to 10 scale with 0 being sober and 10 being heavily intoxicated, Van Wettering gave himself a 4. He performed poorly in field sobriety exercises.

His breath sample was 0.178 blood alcohol content. Is that a four cane? Yeah, I'd say that it was double the legal limit.

So probably higher than a four. Yeah.

And then there was a cooler in his golf cart, and it contained a partially empty bottle of. Espelon tequila blanco. and two small empty, totally empty bottles of absolute vodka.

So he got charged with DUI. He was ticketed for the open container violation. And violating the deputies right away, he posted a $750 bond. The villages Mirka's friendliest hometown Now, I can kind of agree with getting a DUI on a golf cart or whatever, but a DUI on a horse. Yeah, that's happened before.

I know, but that just seems like nothing. Because the horse knows it's not going to run into anything. Yeah, so I never understood that.

So, uh Yeah, the villages. Oh, and then there's a Cape Coral man. He was selling counterfeit. Fentanyl. Wait, what?

So the non-killing type? I don't know. So he's Richard Riley, fifty seven, who looks old. He was arrested after his house was raided. They found all kinds of pill bottles and all kinds of stuff, but He's Uh being charged with I guess counterf or or Um counterfeit blue pressed fentanyl.

I don't know what any of that means. I just think the counterfeit part. I don't know about drugs. I don't know what that even means.

So he was taken to Lee County jail. He got charged with trafficking in oxycodone. Uh some other stuff. Uh controlled substance stuff. But they said that The majority of the pill bottles that there were that they found either had no label or labels with different names not associated with him or anybody else living in the house.

And then they found all those unmarked pills there. I don't ghost pills. What are they calling ghost pills? But why would you do some uh like what I guess he was doing it at least. I guess he was doing it to s to to sell them, but you know.

I mean, I don't know that I would want counterfeit fentanyl. I wouldn't want fentanyl at all, but much less counterfeit fentanyl. A Florida man driving to Tesla thrown into the Gulf of Mexico in a crash near the Skyway Bridge. Oh my gosh. St.

Petersburg, 25-year-old man left the roadway, entered the shoulder, hit a drainage pond, flipped into the mangroves. He was not buckled up, he was thrown into the water. A passing boater picked him up. took him uh he went to the hospital he had serious injuries and I I don't even know how that happens. How do you just.

No seat belt.

Well no, I mean how do you run off the highway like that? Right into the so anyway, he's you know, he's in the hospital, but they haven't released any much more information about it. In a Miami-Dade County of Florida man, an inmate was accused of sending threatening messages to a dude in southwest Miami-Dade telling him he wants his soul. He's gonna kill him and he wants his soul. And he goes he goes, I'm not going to spare you.

He sounds like a monster, this guy. He's uh this guy, his last name's Castro, of course, but uh, it was the Turner Guilford Night Correctional Center.

So they're trying to keep him under lock and key. Stick with us. Third hour coming up. I agree with Annie Oakley, who said, I would like to see every woman know how to handle guns as naturally as they know how to handle babies.

Now, I myself regularly conceal carry a nine-millimeter.

Now, that said, not every woman is like me, has had the hours of training that I've had, or feels comfortable around firearms due to years of use, or maybe they're by a gun-free zone. I'd like to change that what I can while encouraging self-defense at the same time.

So, this is where Burna comes in. It's kind of like a starter weapon. It's they make a non-firearm firearm. I like the idea of incredible force sending chemical irritants towards a threat as an additional option for women. And the Burna SD model shoots chemical irritant projectiles, 68 caliber rounds, that can deter threats in their tracks up to 50 feet away.

I mean, it is hard. Easy target acquisition, zero recoil. Burna is legal in all 50 states. There's no background checks, no permits required. It's shipped directly to your door.

Gun-free isn't applicable to Burna. It's great for wherever guns are banned. Visit Burna.com. dot com slash dana for ten percent off that's by r n a dot com slash dana Look, I think anybody would be flattered to be mentioned in that context. I certainly am.

There's really not much more that I can or should say about that process other than that she's going to make that decision and she knows what she's doing. Why does he keep getting asked this? His only answer should be like, Gosh, no, because I just suck as like i any type of like helpful person at all and I can't even do my job, which I don't even know what it is. I work with transportation. What?

I don't even know. I was on maternity leave because I purchased some babies. And I was on maternity leave. That's exactly what it is. And if anyone takes issue with it, this is what you can do.

You can send an email to kiss at myadoulesnakes.com, at which point I will print it out. Put it At the gun range, fill it with holes, and then bring it back to my driveway where I will repeatedly run over it, back up, run over it, back up, run over it, back up with my little segue that I got from Mother's Day a few years ago. And that's what will happen. Welcome back to the show. Dana Lash here with you.

It's Friday. We're at the top of this third hour. I don't know why they keep asking him about this. It's poop booty juice. He's so flattered to be mentioned as a potential VB candidate.

They have nobody else. Although I think it would probably be Andy Bashir because you're not going to get the D Bornistans to support. a Jewish guy like Josh Sapiro on the ticket. That's Democrats have a Jewish problem. They have a problem with Jewish people.

I mean, I'm just stating what we all know, right? Just like we all know that Biden probably cannot stop slobbering for, you know. That's why he has a million jump cu jump cuts in his videos. But He's And Steve noted that Andy Bashir, he's governor of Texas, his last one of his last tweets, he said, No matter what the future holds, Kentucky is my home. That will never change because I'm one proud Kentuckian.

Oh, dude, that does sound like he's ready. That sounds like he's, doesn't it? It doesn't sound like it's going to be poo-pooy judge. He's just like praying that someone gives him. A position.

What is he going to do? Remember, he was on maternity leave for three months. He purchased some babies. And then he was like, Oh, I'm so tired. I got to take three months off work because I purchased these babies.

And then he didn't answer a single email about the supply chain crisis. And it was a huge issue to the point where the New York Times even wrote about it, which is bad. And he's completely. I don't know what the guy does. I really don't know what he does.

What does he do? What does he actually do? He doesn't even know what he does. What the hell does P. Buttaji Judge do at Department of Transportation?

Does anyone think he actually knows anything about a vehicle? Or roads or Transportation? Maybe buses. You mean like Uber? No, he d he they had 49 buses in South Ben Kane.

He couldn't fill the potholes though. Just saying. I kind of think it's going to be Annie Bashir, if I'm being honest. The VP pick. Because It's The Washington Post is really mad about it too.

They're like, why almost everyone assumes Kamala Harris has to pick a white man as VP? Do you have anybody else but an old white man on the Democrat side? I mean Who else do you have, Democrats? You ran everybody else out. Who else do you have?

They don't have anybody.

So you If you're trying to get the intersectionality that you want, I can't even believe that we're doing this. Democrats don't go, this person is. This person has some accomplishments and they have a nice CV. It looks like they've worked hard here.

Okay, this, you know, this could, we could do this. No, they're like, Well, well, is he gay? Is this person of color? Is this person gay? How does this person have sex?

'Cause that's very important when we're determining how to hire for a very important position. We can't let you make decisions about the economy unless y everyone knows how you have the sex. They gotta check those intersectionality boxes.

So Indy Bashir. He's In his mid forties. He's What? Baby Jen X. He's older than me, but he's baby Gen X.

So He's governor of Kentucky. He's pretty. Considered, he's still far left, according to a constitutionalist view of things. But he doesn't run around like a member of the squad. And that might be, but does he want to jump on that landmine?

So, this is the other thing. Whoever is the VP pick, you're having to jump on the landmine that is this campaign. Kamala Harris won't win this election for herself. The media will have to win this election for Kamala Harris. She will not win this election for herself.

She has neither the ability nor the momentum. She does not have the influence. She does not have that relationship with voters. There is no way in hell she can win this election by herself. She has to have the media do it for her.

And then, if she has somebody like Andy Bashir, the only problem with having somebody, if you're Kamala Harris and you have Andy Bashir as your ticket, does it make you look even more? Unaccomplished because he was at least governor, but he's a big old Marxy. You're a Marxist if you're a Democrat at this point. Does it make her look less accomplished? And then does that Make you think, oh, wow, I wouldn't want her in the White House.

If you're a voter who apparently has had your head up your backside this entire time and you just now popped out to see what's up, I mean. How do you, how does, wouldn't you? Because I would look at that and be like, wow, she's really that unaccomplished. No way. Right?

Who do you think it's going to be, Kane?

Okay. Oh, I have no idea. I d the fact that we're about a hundred days out And you we've seen the blitz over just the last couple of days for Kamala. And the quote unquote All these independent Donors which, by the way. We know that's not true.

Act Blue is uh really not uh really not being straight with that. But yeah, I I couldn't tell you, and I think they will pull some sort of a surprise here. Really soon. This is what Andy Bashir had to say about J.D. Vance.

He apparently had an argument with J.D. Vance. This is from WHS. uh channel eleven ABC in Kentucky. He, um pulled out a Diet Mountain Dew and issued an apology.

Uh because he had an a disagreement with J. D. Vance. And Bashir said that He wanted to set the record straight and apologized to Diet Mountain Dew. And he goes, I'm sorry I didn't mean to say negative things about you.

And the reason he said that is because he was on CNN. And he told CNN he was asked about some remarks or something that J.D. Vance said. Bashir goes, quote, what was weird was him joking about racism and then talking about Diet Mountain Dew. Who drinks Diet Mountain Dew?

In all serious, he ain't from here. He's not from Kentucky. And he g and and so he's trying to be a gatekeeper. They're going to have the hillbilly off is what it's going to be. I feel like Vance would win that one.

You know, if I'm being honest about it. I mean, if you want to try to make this a class warfare thing and gatekeep, I really feel like, you know, that Vance is probably going to win that one. I mean, he's. He I I mean, Andy Bashir's is a Nepo baby. His dad?

Um His family, I mean, they he comes from a very well-to-do family. And his dad was also governor of Kentucky?

So he's a Nepo baby. Andy Bashir is a Nepo baby.

So you can't, you don't get to gatekeep over Hillbilly, dude. You're a Nepo baby, and by that very definition, you're excluded from being the bouncer of hillbillies. Hillbillies don't like Nepo babies as bouncers. Just saying. You don't get to do that.

So he's like this well to do guy who was born with a silver spoon up his backside. And he got mad at J.D. Vance because J.D. Vance had said at one point he drank Diet Mountain Dew. He's like.

He's like, Diet Mountain Dew. Who drinks Diet Mountain Dew? Like, all of a sudden, Andy Bashir is going to pretend that he did not come from just oodles of money. and act like that's a bad thing. I might tell you what, Slick, we drink Diet Mountain Dew up in this house.

You got issue with that? Again, I will give the same instructions to anybody that's got a problem with that like I would to anybody who got mad at me talking about Pooh Booty Judge purchasing some babies, right? You can send it? To kiss at myadoublesnakes.com, at which point I will print it out, take it to the range, blow it up. Bring it back, the shreds of it.

Lay it out nice and neat in my driveway, get my mini Segway out that I received as a Mother's Day gift six years ago on Amazon. It's half the size of a regular Segway, but still does the job. And I will back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, roll right over it. And uh that's what'll happen to it.

So I have a question. Yes, is Sninks spelled out? S-N-A-K-K-E-S or the two dollar sign? No, it's the two S's because I'm trying to be a nice person here and, you know, just. 'Kay.

It's A. Right? What sun starts with, an S, two of them. Steve is actually taking it seriously. Semi two snakes?

I love it. Diamond Dew. What's wrong with Diamond Dew? Who nominated Andy Bashir to be the bouncer for Hillbillies? I want to know.

This guy wears a damn sweater vest Have you seen the sort? Have you seen it? You've seen it. I just, I'm trying not to be a jerk, but I get really upset over this kind of stuff. Yeah, his.

I mean, he comes from money. His dad was a governor. you know, his mom Uh She comes from money. I mean, they're all, I mean, and that's not a bad thing either. It's only a bad thing when you try to act like, oh, wait a minute.

This guy could be a threat, so I'm gonna try to take the thing that he actually is known for and gatekeep it. You don't get to do that.

Right? You don't get to do that.

So anyway, I just find it. Very Interesting. And then his dad came from money too.

So just, you know, did you guys see the picture of the screenshot from the wine aisle in the grocery store that says exciting whites? And it was Kamala Harris's VP shortlist. Oh my gosh. That's it was. Was there a signature Andy Bashir bottle in there?

No, there's a Josh though. Jeez. Exciting whites. I mean, I can't. I can't with this.

This is just. I don't know. But I kind of think it's going to be Andy Bashir. Because I just feel like. Democrats They have a problem with Jewish people, and they're not going to allow for, excuse me, Joshua Pierre, but JB, J.B.

Pritzker looks like the penguin. And I really just feel like. That's not the optic that you want to have. to go out and have an actual DC villain. Azure VP?

You know? I mean, you wouldn't have an issue with money for sure, but still I don't know. I mean This whole thing. If it's not India Bashir, who do you have? And if it's not Josh Shapiro, you have Pooh Booty Juice, you have J.B.

Pritzker. The the penguin from DC. Who else who else was it? Newsom, right? You don't think Newsom?

No. No. You're not going to have two Californians. Yeah.

Not going to have to go. Newsome, I think, is saving himself for 2028. And the fact that Pelosi already came out and backed Harris, she would not. I think That's To me, and the fact that his name has completely dropped out of all this discussion, and you haven't seen him traveling anymore. Yeah, he's saving himself for 2028 because he was only going out there when he thought, I think, you know, that maybe I can still edge out.

Now, keep in mind. Never underestimate Democrats' ability to just foobar everything up for themselves. They could walk, I mean, Newsom could walk in WWE style to the DNC convention with all the superdelegates and they could just bide their time until the second round of voting where all hell breaks loose. You don't know.

So Nobody really does. I'm just, you know, I'm just saying. But yeah, it makes sense because he needs some years to repair his reputation if he's going to run in 2028. Yeah.

So he's got, you know, and he's he will buy that time. He will.

So, I mean, who else do they got? They don't have anybody else. They have nobody else. You could not have like a Gretchen Whitmer or an A.B. Klobuchar because you cannot have two unlikable women on a ticket.

People have a problem with just one unlikable woman. Just saying. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

Well so much for that stereotype of nice Canadians. Apparently in Toronto residents have been asked to stop throwing poo on workers. The tenants of an apartment building in Toronto said that they were issued a letter from management because human waste was allegedly thrown from the balconies to workers below. And it ended up on rhetoric. Rhetoric.

Reddit. Reddit's Toronto board. I tried to make two words into one. The letter was shared and it said, no power through a poo, that'll help. They said that the people in the apartment building at St.

Jamestown neighborhood received the letter. They were without power. They can't even get their elevator. They said people, I don't know why. It was a like.

People who were trying to fix the situation, and I don't know why they ended up having poo-I don't know, like it's just Canadians. I don't know. I thought they were nice, though. Yeah, I guess I guess they're not. This neighbor, oh boy, geez.

Lovett town neighbor. exposed himself to a doorbell camera. Choose it. Uh 40-year-old Charles George Swenson. is charged with indecent exposure, harassment, disorderly conduct.

He Hmm. On July 21st, he was filmed. Of course, the road's called Idlewild, on Idlewild Road. He walked up to the door, spit on the neighbor's porch, walked away without pulling down his breeches, stood on the masonry wall between the two properties, pulled out his batox, and then turned around to expose his genitals to the camera, said police. And then the neighbors said they couldn't go outside because Swenson was hanging around in the front yard for the rest of the day harassing him.

He's now being held on 10% of $60,000 bail. He's got a hearing on August 7th. Wow, like what happened with those neighbors? Is what I would like to know. That results in this.

A couple's Tesla was damaged by fish that fell from the sky. They said it's a message from the Lord. Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey, they really did say that. a fish hit a couple's park Tesla. It fell from the sky hit it.

And then the car owners Said that it just wasn't. Did they eat the fish though? They said it caused damage to their car. Uh, and there's blood all over the windshield, it crashed into the windshield. It turns out, I mean, obviously, it was a bird that had its bird's dinner and it dropped it.

That's a bummer. That bird's probably hungry now. They said they had an eagle's nest in their backyard, so they think it was probably the eagle, but now they have to get it. And they did some damage. That was kind of crazy.

It did some damage to their car. Really, a fish? Can hurt your car that much?

Well, I guess if it's a big one and it's fallen from 100 and something feet. Boneless chicken wings can have bones, says the Ohio Supreme Court. It's a tindy fight. They said that Republicans on Ohio Supreme Court ruled that bones are a natural part of a chicken.

So a consumer should be on guard for them, even in boneless wings.

So somebody sued because they wanted boneless wings and they didn't get boneless wings. They had bones in the wings. And the court was like, you're stupid. There's bones in chickens. Stop it.

So that's that court case. Stick with us. We got more in store. Not able to catch all three hours of the Dana Show? Subscribe to the full podcast and get news and laughs delivered in short, easy-to-digest episodes.

Ideal for your busy lifestyle on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcast. What's up, AFT? How y'all doing? Yes, yes. I can hear a little alcohol in the air.

I'm gonna... Regis. Feels like eighth period on the last day of school in there. It just... What's the working on that in your union contract so you don't gotta sneak it out of your desk?

Um, so that's Brandon Johnson. He's the Chicago mayor. He's at A Teachers thing? An education event. And is he talking about getting drunk in the classroom like what the teachers?

I don't know, man. That's weird. Why? You can smell alcohol in the air. Goodness.

Good heavens. Yeah, we're at the bottom of this third hour here on Friday. Yeah, he was there at the AFT convention, American Federation of Teachers. Oh, I can hear a little alcohol in the air.

Well that would explain. That's rainy wine gardens though. Yeah, it's Randy Weingart.

Well, she always does seem like drunk and nuts.

So, you know, that's. That's uh par for the course for her. I don't know. I pffted it. I can't, man.

I can't. I just also can't just, is this a real thing? The white dudes for Harris. It's literally a real thing. No, it's not.

I promise you. I don't want to advertise it.

So apparently there's like, let's do our part to help Allah Kamala Harris, white dudes for Harris. exciting whites and it's just a bunch of like Chardonnays. As Steve was saying at the store, I read this thing too. Check this out. This is, let me pull this out.

So apparently the far left is trying to pressure Harris to not choose. Josh Shapiro as her running mate. Because and some people so the left is kind of fighting Right now it's sort of quiet, but it's starting to get loud. They're sort of fighting back channel because some wanted I Josh Shapiro. uh Pennsylvania governor to be the the VP.

And I Well, there's a lot on the left that have a problem with Jewish people, a lot of people that have a problem with Jewish people. And they said they don't like his unapologetic support for Israel. And they didn't like his criticisms of the anti-Israel student protesters, writers, really. And uh they uh don't really they don't like him because of that. Because of his, because he's Jewish.

They just need to be honest about it. That's why they don't like him.

So there's. There's been a huge online campaign called No Genocide Josh. to try to I know. Because it's genocide to defend yourself against people, but not genocide to try to eradicate. uh scores of people specifically based on their faith, whatever.

So, the left is fighting with itself. I don't think that Democrats will because. That's the Democrat Party has changed, as we've said. They have changed. They're brand new.

They're all about pro-Hamas and dear Bornistan and all of that. And they are not going to sit here and play around with this.

So, yeah, they want, and these are the people who want ceasefire and. Gaza and they think it's all Israel's fault that Hamas attacked Israel.

So I don't know. They have a problem. Democrats have a problem. With Democrats. They have a problem.

No, and if the media were, you know, legitimate. They would be writing about this. They would be covering. This problem And discussing the issue that is really, I think, Driving a lot of the problems that they have in the Democrat Party. I mean, they're not going to be able to have a big tent because the identity politics is actually going to go against them at some point.

They can't have a big tent. Democrats are killing their ability to have a big tent because they've played identity politics for so long. I mean, you can't sit here and try to make appeals to Jewish people and try to make appeals to Djibornistan and try to make appeals here and there when everyone else has these agendas that are competing with another group's agendas. You can't. You you can't be box checkers like this.

This is why you got to get behind policy and not these different identities. And this is going to, this is, now they're having to pay for it. They're having to pay for it right now.

So, I don't know. I mean This is, it's, it's, but again, don't underestimate the media. I saw this thing, the net favorability rating. This was a YouGov Ipsos. uh in a Marist survey.

And it shows Harris having a little bit of a bump over Trump. And I think that's. Partially because of the media water carrying, and partially because, again, the left is just relieved. completely relieved that uh you know, they can get past Biden now. Don't know.

So That's um This is one of the things that we're looking at.

Now, where it concerns the Secret Service. We've been following this story too all week. Via Catherine Herridge, there was a whistleblower who said that the night before the rally, U.S. Secret Service repeatedly denied offers from local law enforcement. to use drone technology to secure the rally.

This is in a letter that was released by Senator Josh Hawley. They said that there were repeated offers that were denied. And the officers were fr officers were from a local law enforcement officer. who wanted to use drone technology to secure the rally uh and it's uh it's they could use it to secure the site, make it available to the United States Secret Service. Secret Service says no.

And then the whistleblower further alleges that after the shooting took place. Per this letter, the United States Secret Service then changed course and asked the local partner to deploy the drone technology to surveil the site in the aftermath. of the attack. Why would you say no when it was first offered? Are we going to get any answer to that question?

I feel like that's a very important question. Why? Was it denied? Hmm. Now, a few other things.

We've got some odds and ends here. I want to make sure that we get to. Kane, our hometown of St. Louis. Oh.

The Paper there, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, a far left paper, full disclosure. I used to be a columnist there. They have backed. Corey Bush's Challenger.

Really? has endorsed The Challenger to Cory Bush for Missouri's first congressional district. That is pretty wild. It's Wesley Bell. He is the St.

Louis County Prosecuting Attorney. And I mean, I don't doubt that he's, you know, on uh on the on the left, but Holy wow Because she was I mean, she she was one of those individuals that kind of took over. the activism There in St. Louis in the wake of Ferguson and made it about, kind of made it about herself.

So, Wesley Bell is in the job. He's a prosecuting attorney for St. Louis County. He holds the job that Bob McCullough held.

Now, if you remember, Bob McCullough was the prosecutor. there in the wake of the Michael Brown. shooting. And he was the one who and he Bob McCullough was a far left Democrat. That's why I was rolling my eyes.

Everyone's saying, oh, well, that prosecutor, he's, you know, he's not, he's giving, you know, Mike Brown's, he's giving that. The cops in this situation, he's letting them off the hook. This guy was such a far, Bob McCullough was such a far-left prosecutor. To go even further back, when Barack Obama was still a senator from Illinois running for president, Bob McCullough, along with another prosecutor and a Democrat sheriff, they got together and formed what was affectionately called the Obama Truth Squad. And they said that they were going to examine and look for potential litigation, all statements that were said about Barack Obama.

To see if they were true or not. And it was a ta. I was one of the, I think I was one of the first people to break the story nationally and. There was no I'm wrong. guarantees that they weren't gonna go after people for just basic free speech.

So that was interesting.

So he's now, so Wesley Bell is in, he is in that position. And he's. You know, he's He's a lefty. But He sounds like a reasonable lefty. And I'm not saying that I think he's reasonable.

I'm saying to a lot of the, again, where are elections decided, they're determined in the margins. To those people, he seems way more reasonable than Cory Bush, who sounds like a nut. She sounds like a nut. She doesn't do anything. She.

I don't know what she does beyond run run her mouth for the cameras. Does she sponsor anything? Does she actually try to push stuff through? Congress, 'cause I don't I don't see that.

Now, Bell, his father was a poli is a was a police officer, so that's kinda interesting.

So he has a very interesting background. Uh and I'm sure obviously that shapes his perspective there. Uh, Bell, instead of just immediately going to try to go to the cameras and go to uh seek national fame, he went and ran and became uh got himself elected to Ferguson City Council. And then he went for county prosecutor, which I thought was very interesting. And he wanted to look at uh uh special prosecutors and homicides by police and all this other stuff.

So It's interesting how they both came out of that movement in Ferguson. But he had a much more Now I'm not saying I agree with him on positions, but he had a much more Genuine path than she did. Does that make sense? And like he went and got on city council and he started like working in the community. And then he went to go, he was like, this is where this is happening at, prosecutor.

I'm going to go for county prosecutor. He takes Bob McCullough's position. That's very interesting.

Now He was I mean he's He uh is opposed to the death penalty, which I disagree with. I mean, he's got, you know, there's some controversial stuff that he's done as part of his record. The fact that the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. I thought his endorsement over Corey Bush, though, was interesting because they are they're Marxist.

They're not even far left. They're straight up Marxist. And they fall way more in line with somebody like Bush over Bell. But I think she and some of these others in the party Especially with these independents and moderates, they're driving people away. He, I mean, he stands a really good chance of.

flipping her out of that seat. Very interesting.

So, the St. Louis Post Dispatch has endorsed Corey Bush's. Challenger, Wesley Bell. That's fascinating to me. Very interesting.

Very interesting indeed.

So we'll see how that that goes. And I thi I do, like I said, I do think that his background, uh having been raised by a father who was a police officer's Interesting, and I'm curious to see how that shapes his opinion. He seems, that's where, on one of those issues, like defund the police, he just seems like way more. uh reasonable than somebody like uh somebody like her. I mean, it's just it's just Interesting.

So, a few other things. I had a culture story that I don't know if we're gonna have time to get into. I don't follow this chick. But this caught my eye. This woman, she was Miss Universe at one point.

Her name is Olivia Colpo. And she married San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey. And she had this wedding designer wedding dress by Dolce and Cabana. It was very, a very conservative dress. It was very long.

It was a long sleeve. It showed nothing. And she said. In this interview with Vogue, she said that she quote didn't want it to exude sex in any way, shape, or form, end quote. And she was talking about the seriousness of the ceremony, which was about a covenant.

That's what she was saying.

Well, all of these like influencers and pick me chicks all over social media blew this up and they were going at her, including some chick I don't even know who this one chick is. She's a Los Angeles based stylist. She questioned Colpo's choice of a covered-up dress and said, The way that she was talking about this went beyond just wanting something modest for herself and pushing this idea of what she thinks all brides should look like, which sounds stupid because it's not exactly, that's not at all what she did. And so. Christian McCaffrey was defending his wife.

And he goes, I hope you can find joy and peace in the world the way my beautiful wife does. Oh my gosh, that was just, he just cut these, just cut these bees down. But This chick, this stylist. Said that it was an ad. She said she went after her, said the dress was an absence of personality, and all the other meep beep beep beep.

All the other broads on wannabe influencers jumped on it as well. Why? Because she didn't look like a tart. It didn't look trashy. She wasn't trying to go for this trashy influencer thing.

And she was talking about the ceremony as like a religious ceremony, like as a covenant. She was taking her marriage vows seriously. And for some reason, these chicks who were probably single uh got very upset with her about that. And they were trashing her, and it was what she wanted to do. And Her hu now husband McCaffrey said it was an evil thing to post.

And then the stylist, her name's Kennedy Bingham or whatever. Of course, she's got two last names. Uh she went after Dolce and Gabbana because Dolce and Gabbana oppose uh they She disagrees. They do not have a leftist view of same-sex marriage. It's very interesting because they're gay dudes, but they run this fashion label and they're very conservative.

It's really weird. But it's one of the reasons why a lot of people were protesting Doljan Cabana back in the day and why I think it's hysterical that Jill Biden horrifically wears their clothing and well, their clothing wears her because she does not have the wherewithal to wear their clothing.

So I think it was interesting. I mean, she went after them as well, and like as a way to try to dredge that back up. And it's like, why can't. Why can't she just wear her dress? and celebrate her choice as wanting to dr dress how she sees this ceremony.

and show the respect that she wants to show for it without all these other broads trying to make her day and her dress choice about them. This is one of the things I hate about social media because it's almost like people feel like in order to get ahead, they gotta make everything about them.

Someone else's choice isn't your choice. It's not about your life. Leave the girl alone. I thought she looked fabulous. I thought it was one of the most beautiful dresses I've seen in a wedding in the past 20 years, besides my own.

It was beautiful. It was a very pretty dress. It was long-sleeved and it had nice detailing up at the top. And I mean, it was, you know, it was like perfect dolce and gabbana. It just looked, I mean, it looked great.

And all these chicks are mad 'cause she didn't look like a tart. That says more about them than it does Olivia Colpo and Krista McCaffrey.

So, all kinds of good stuff there. I saw Why are they trying to act like Trump didn't get I saw this even over a daily mail. Nothing to see ear, where Trump appeared without his bandage. And you can clearly see in the photo where he's got a chunk of his ear that's gone. I mean, you can see it.

Lorraine says she found a photo from the New York Post, and you can easily zoom in, and you can. See that He's literally missing a chunk out of that helix in his ear.

So that's not like a glass, he didn't get cut by glass, like something took off his part of his ear. That's so, why are people running with us? This is so dumb. To act like it was, I just, I can't even. All right, today's stupidity came when we got to it.

Sorry, I don't think we have time to play. I went too long. It was the response from KJP, Corrine Jean-Pierre, when she was asked about Kamala Harris ever being appointed Border Czar. Of course, they're denying it, and there's. There's receipts.
