Wednesday July 31 - Full Show

So, so so here's the thing here's the funny thing about that. anything about that.

So he won't debate. But he and his run mate. Sure seem to have a lot to say about me. And by the way, don't you find some of their stuff to just be plain weird?

Well, Donald, I do hope you'll reconsider to meet me on the debate stage. Because as the saying goes, if you got something to say, Well, you only just became the nominee, so I don't know what that's supposed to. I mean, I love the fake hard-assedness of people. They're like, oh, well, you know, you just come say it to my face. You literally were just named the nominee.

What the hell are you talking about? Actually, you're not even the nominee yet. Maybe you should become the nominee first. Before you start demanding that people Well, you say it to my face.

So you can, what, cry sexism or whatever. I'm just golly. But. She Double down on their whole weird line, which we were talking about yesterday, the stupid line of attack that Democrats are trying to take. Welcome to the program.

Dana Lash with you. We're at the top of our first hour. And it is. The, we're what? I think, how many days off from the election?

96 days, I think, from the election. and then we're forty some odd days away from early voting. Because early voting is fifty days. starts well not and not every state has it but It's like about fifty days uh from out from the general election. And we've really got to start focusing on ground game, and we really got to have Republicans like.

You know r really just focusing on getting out the vote because I'll say it a million times, and you're going to hear me say it over and over again until election day. The biggest threat to. Republicans isn't Democrats, as as insane as that sounds, it's not. It's themselves. the biggest threat that Republicans have Isn't Democrats, it's to themselves.

And that's what we've got to get around because get out the vote, it's incredibly important. And it's one of the things that You know, we really got to make sure we're getting people out to vote.

So, Kamala, by the way, where the hell is Joe Biden? Have we seen him? Has he said anything on the the strikes? Oh, no. Hezbollah?

Has he said anything about uh Venezuela? Nothing about Venezuela.

Okay.

So he hasn't said anything about Venezuela, he hasn't said anything about The strikes with Israel.

So that's kind of that's a major issue. That's a problem. Where's he at? We're going to get into all of that. We got a lot to hit.

So, first up. I wanted to point out, you know, speaking to that, because Kamala Harris is, everybody's, you know, they're fumbling all over to get her opinion on everything. But meanwhile, we have a President of the United States. He just doesn't. seemed to be anywhere.

Um Doesn't seem to be anywhere at all. Silent on Hezbollah, really. And then for the most part, she did come out and say, Well, Israel has a right to defend themselves, and then has all but endorsed the what's going on in Venezuela, which we're going to talk about the Biden-Harris culpability and all of that. By the way, did you know Maduro apparently won with 51.2% of the vote? You know where that number where we've heard that number before?

It does sound familiar. That's how much Biden won. In 2020 was 50. 1.2%. Of the vote.

Very, you know, I mean it's just uh I'm just saying this is very coincidental these things. Super coincidental. Just sayin'.

So The situation with Hezbollah. And Iran, because you guys know you've been following this story at all. Uh th and we're going to get into the Venezuela aspect of it.

So these the twelve children who were killed This is I mean, it's just a horrible story. Uh This, I mean, now Israel has carried out a rare strike on Beirut. It says they took out the Hezbollah commander, took out basically like what Hamas's. one of Hamas's top political leaders. Was killed in this strike.

Why is Iran acting as though it has every Authority or every justification to be upset about this because they are saying, Oh, well, can you believe that Israel actually carried out a strike? within our country, within within Iran when they fund Hezbollah. Where do you think Hezbollah gets its money from? They get their money from. Iran.

They get all of their money from Iran.

So, Hamas's top political leader is killed in the strike. And I was a pre-dawn airstrike. It was pretty ballsy. And everyone keeps saying, oh, well, now they're risking all out war. I'm sorry, for what?

No, no, no, no, no. Let's be honest about how this all plays out. Iran funds these groups. Iran has been funding these groups this entire time, these groups which have been waging all-out war.

So, because this strike was carried out, you don't know. We're not doing that. But this is what This is what they've they had their what Political leaders, their mouthpieces. Basically, Hamas's attorney gets out there and says, Oh, can you believe you can't, you can't, uh, you can't be engaged in a negotiation and then assassinating people that are involved in the negotiation. It's never, it's not a negotiation.

So, I I mean Israel, they didn't they didn't say anything about the strike until it happened. They didn't just, you know, how Iran likes to release these Photoshopped images of stuff. They didn't do anything like that. They just came out. They came right out, carried out the strike, pre-don't strike.

took this guy out. He was considered wasn't he considered like the mastermind of this thing? Or one of the masterminds of it. And so All of this They're saying, Oh, it's gonna risk uh an all-out war. Gonna risk an all-out war.

And it was uh va very volatile volatile, you know, obviously we're gonna hear all of the uh uh The propaganda from Iran on this, but twelve people killed in Golan Heights. And With Hezbollah raining rockets down in the north and Hamas in the south, all funded by Iran, what are you expecting?

So We're going to, we're, and we're, and Kamala Harris yesterday was asked, and I think we have the, well, she was, she was asked about this. She said, oh, they have the right to defend. At least she said that. At least She said that much. When she was asked about it, it's one of the big audio sound bites that's circulating.

At least she, because that was maybe the one correct, what. I don't know if that's going to make dear Bornistan angry. But she had been asked about it at the campaign event that she was at, and she said, Well, they have a right to defend themselves. She didn't diverge from that, though. She didn't really walk away too much from just the one sentence.

She was asked about this by a reporter. And she had said, and it's a big departure really from even what Biden had said previously. Because Biden and Democrats are all real cagey about all this stuff. They're all very cagey. But it's a huge audio sound bite.

I don't think we have it, but that's what she had said yesterday. In moving. With Venezuela. They are, Biden Harris has been complicit in all of this. I mean, this was not a free and fair election in Venezuela.

And the reason I'm bringing all of this up is because it's further showing you that Kamala Harris can't cut it. With where it concerns foreign policy. She can't cut it. Not with foreign policy. Their regime announced that Maduro was the winner of this election.

And remember, and this isn't the first time Democrats have gotten involved in these types of elections, remember. That This the sanctions relief that were gi that was given to them, the sanctions release relief that was given to them was. I mean Really, I mean, it was supposed to be for Maduro holding a free and fair election, which he did not hold. Which he did not hold. And so if this you know fifty one point two percent If you go back and look, and this was, I think, USA Today, this was some time ago, Biden eased crippling sanctions on Venezuelans Maduro in exchange for his promise to hold a free and fair election for president this year.

U.S. officials were watching, and again, this is before the election some time ago, USA Today, were watching to see if the outreach will help yield a Democratic vote. Do you really, honestly believe that? Do you really honestly believe that it would it would It would release this type of vote. This is so it's just no.

So now we have 51.2%.

So they released sanctions And Did they get free and fair elections with the sanctions relief? No. He was never going to hold free and fair elections. I mean, he just got it he just got a cash infusion. That's all he got.

Maduro got a cash infusion. He got sanctions, millions upon millions upon millions upon millions of dollars. Did you think he was going to step down if you? If you gave sanctions relief, that's under Biden-Harris.

So if the question comes up during any kind of debate, If there is one, if she becomes the Nominee. If the question comes up about her record on foreign policy. But I mean, this is, you know, this is the reality of it. She's not. We're going to come back to this.

We've got a number of things to do. She also, I wanted to throw back to this. This We got a lot of flashback audio. And the reason we're playing some of this flashback audio is because she's been trying to rewrite. History As it relates to very far left positions, and the far left positions include everything from fracking, which there's a piece out.

That is up at substack chapter and verse. And also on firearms. She's trying to say that she doesn't actually, she's trying to walk back. uh on some of this And We're going to play. I wanted to play some of the flashback for you first before we get to because in one interview she started walking to the middle.

So let's first do audio soundbite. This is audio soundbite 3. Do you believe in the mandatory buyback of quote-unquote assault weapons? And whether or not you do, how does that idea not go against fundamentally the Second Amendment? Yeah.

Um great question. I do believe that we need to do buybacks. A buyback program is a good idea.

Now we need to do it the right way. And part of that has to be, you know, to buy back and give people their value, the financial value. Mm-hmm. Mandatory buybacks, which is Confiscation. It's confiscation is what it is.

Yeah. Well, I mean, we're going to get in. We're going to deep dive into all of that here coming up. Do you guys remember back in 2020 when store shelves were empty and nobody could find ammunition? That was such a bummer.

Actually, it sucked out loud. Nobody liked that. It was hard to find stuff. Like we were calling up all these different retailers, like, do you guys have any coming in? Do you guys have this coming in?

Well, what if you didn't have to worry about that?

So this is where ammo squared comes in. They can help you stay stocked up on ammunition automatically. Like you never have to worry about it.

So it's truly automated. You set it and you forget it. It's an ammo purchasing program. I've never been more happy about anything automatic before in my life, you know, other than automatic rifles. Pick your calibers, you set your budget, you select a shipping trigger, and that's it.

And then your ammo builds up over time and it's delivered automatically when you want it. And then as the ammo builds up in your account, it's stored for free in their super swanky climate-controlled warehouse. It's secure, it's insured, it's safe from threats until you want it. Especially in these tough times with rising crime, this is a very budget-friendly way to ensure that you always have ammunition when you need it. It's customizable to your budget.

Build your stockpile. It's like it's like contributing to a savings account or a 401k. And it was started in Idaho in 2015. They have over 30,000 customers across the country. It's ammo squared, a unique way to get your ammunition.

So, Carrie Lake took the GOP Senate primary, defeating Mike Lamb yesterday in Arizona. They said it was a very narrow victory, but the Associated Press called the race at 8:44 p.m. And I think they're still counting the votes because if the final margins stay below the 30 percentage point, Uh then that's there's gonna be questions as to whether or not she can defeat Galago, uh, the Democrat candidate, in November.

So that's one to watch. Uh also, France spent a one and a half billion dollars cleaning feces. out of the Seine, out of their river. And athletes apparently still can't swim in it. They were supposed to be doing different kinds of activities, different events there.

But they found that the E. coli levels were 20 times higher. than what the world triathlon considers to be acceptable. which is disastrous. One dead dozen sickened by roasted eel served at a Japanese department store.

So, this was the Kaikyu department store. 147 customers as of Monday this week had recorded symptoms. They were eating grilled eel dishes sold in the grocery section of the department store based in Yokohama near Tokyo. It was between July 24th and 25th.

Now, the tradition is that on the hottest days of the summer, you eat roasted eel as a tonic for heat. And that's why everybody was eating this. That's why they had it, why so many people were eating it. But they said that the common denominator amongst the sickened was that grilled eel because they were trying to figure out what was happening with it. But that's that sounds disgusting, but okay.

Team USA Women's Gymnastics. The team won gold, led by Simone Biles, powered to first place. And it was, I think it was their first big team gold medal, I think, since 08 as well.

So men. And women's teams are doing incredibly, doing incredibly good. Let's see. Let's see, a French DJ takes legal action over death threats over the opening ceremony tableau. I'm sorry, you're not the victim.

I don't even give a I don't even give a rat's ass. You're not the victim. I don't care. National debt crosses the $35 trillion mark. Live, I mean, this is live debt and unfunded liabilities.

Uh that's um The national debt, $35 trillion, is where we are at now. Generation Z. Young men are voting for Trump, young women like Kamala. It's a further distance there, but in the two sexes, this is Gen Z, not millennials, but Gen Z.

So you have the females that are leaning towards Kamala, men are. leaning towards Trump, I still feel like that that's a little bit of a I don't know. There's more into it. I'm not going to get into it right now, but there's a little bit more into it than just that. FDA has approved a blood test for colon cancer.

This is actually huge because, speaking of Gen Z, and actually, really, they said baby Gen X. And if you're 50 and under, this is something that you're going to have to consider. Like colon cancer is. It's going to be an epidemic. In fact, I was talking to a doctor who said that they are actually building like entire colon cancer wings on hospitals like in Houston and in around Texas because it's going to be such an epidemic.

So the FDA approving a blood test for it to screen it amongst average risk adults in the U.S. is super important. We got a lot more on the way: the gun control, the moderation of Kamala, and so much more. 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 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. Make some common sense of the crazy headlines with the Dana Show Podcast.

As I've said many times, we've been having great ideas for decades. The problem is that Congress has not had the courage to act. And that is why from the beginning I have said my agenda includes attempting to get Congress to act, but if they don't within the first 100 days of my administration, I'm going to take executive action. Because what we need is action.

Well, when they don't act, that's not that's not a failure. Or that's not a bug of the system. That's, you know, the system, that's how it goes.

So it's not, you know, this idea that, well, Congress isn't doing what I want it to do.

So they're failing to do anything. They're failing to act. Therefore, I'm going to have to abuse my executive authority and use an executive action in order to do something that is, you know, blatantly constitutional, something that you absolutely would have to have Congress do because it pertains to two-way issues. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you.

Again, you can listen all over, all over the country and all kinds of good stuff. Watch the simulcast Alan X Rumble, Channel 347, Direct TV. Rumble is a good discussion that takes place every day. I I keep seeing like different media entities on the left try to act like she's moderating her positions on this because some of the video that's been going around, they're like, oh, that's old video. That's old video.

She hasn't changed her position on this. Just like she's still, you know, they're trying to deny that she ever banned fracking. See, they're trying to rehabilitate her and make it look as though she's.

Now, on that, she's oh, she's more of a syndrome. She is legit more. And as senator, she was more left even to Bernie Sanders, who's a straight out public socialist.

So this idea that she's somehow a moderate is don't why even lie to people? This is so goofy. Why even do this? I had a piece up. At Substack about this, her whole thing on, you know, I mean, gun control, I mean, ultimately.

And how it's really Unconstitutional, number one. Uh but then also additionally with it This is not something that you're just going to be able to, you're not going to be able to do something like this. Because gun buybacks, a mandatory gun buyback, and that's what she keeps saying, is confiscation. And also, I hate the stupid phrase buyback. I think I've talked about this before.

Yeah. suggests that That the government is buying something back that you purchased from them, and that's not the case. I didn't buy my gun from the feds. I didn't buy... any of my guns from the feds and Furthermore, it's my money that I use to buy my guns.

What money is the government using to claim to do a buyback? Oh, wait. That's our money too. Because we're the taxpayers and they have no money if it's not for our money, if it's not through the taxes that we pay them. Yeah.

Yeah. So there you have it.

So she's so in a lot of the that was one flashback audio where she's saying Congress doesn't have the courage to act, et cetera, et cetera. We also have I'm gonna make sure because there's a lot of audio from her. She said this before over and over again. She also, this is new because she She's calling the mandatory gum confiscation. She'll do it by executive action.

My other question real quick on that before we play the new audio is how does she plan to do it? With guns?

So just call it what it is. It's confiscation again. But how in the world do you plan to do it?

So Harris thinks that the state can come to your home, armed with their guns, And force you to give up your rights and your property, you know, peacefully, of course. Because we know all are very well, we're very familiar with how the blessed state has never killed anyone unjustly. Don't ask anybody at Ruby Ridge about this because they're dead. Don't ask anybody at Waco about this because they're dead. I mean, how I mean, it could go on and on.

But that's ultimately Think about this for a moment. This is the absolute stupidity. Of the left's gun control positions. And I wanted to play real quick audio 7x4.

So this was from, this is new. This was from the other night. Yesterday. Yesterday. She was asked about gun control again.

This is her response. We who believe in the freedom To live safe from gun violence, we'll finally pass universal background checks. Red flag laws and an assault weapons ban. Not gonna happen. Universal background checks, as I said before, is a national registry.

We have a background check system. They like to put the little cutie phrase universal in front of it. Why? Because they want the government, in order for this to work. Uh the government has to know everything that you have.

Um the Sales, private sales, because none of these people know how any of this stuff works. Private sales are legal of certain things in your state of residence. Private sales are legal. You have to be legally able to purchase a firearm. You can't, you know, if you're doing a handgun, you're going to have to go to your FFL.

You're doing over state line stuff. Like, you can't, I can't go, and I've been. I have been to different events where I've purchased guns and then I've had them sent back to my state of residence and I've had to go through my FFL. But you're not barred from in-state selling of your private property. legally Is so long as the individual is also able to legally purchase and possess.

But that's not what is the driver of the acquiring of weaponry by prohibited possessors. It's just the black market. And in order to have a quote-unquote universal background check, they want to bar private sales. But in order to do that, for everyone to be able to use a system that not everyone can be able to use, it's already faulty, and that's a whole other subject. The government has to have a list of every single thing that you own in order for it to work.

But that's prohibited by federal law because the government can't, you know, legally have a national registry.

So they would have to go about it. That's why they keep trying to do this and say we need to regulate this as a health issue, et cetera, et cetera. Have the CDC involved because they want to try to figure out some weak spot, some way around it, so they can establish a registry. Red flag laws. Why the hell do you need red flag laws?

Red flag laws didn't work with the last several mass casualty incidents in California. Red flag laws didn't work with the mass casualty incidents in New York. Red flag laws didn't work with the mass casualty incidents in Illinois. They don't work. You know why?

Because it presupposes that people have to follow the system in order to make sure that that comes into play. And furthermore, you don't need a separate erosion of due process with the red flag system if you simply follow the existing laws and legal pathways already to render someone, have them adjudicated a prohibited possessor. But see, politicians don't want to tell you that. They think you're stupid and they want you to think that there's absolutely no way legally for you to make sure that someone cannot get a firearm if they are in danger to themselves or others, and that the only way to do it is the diminishment of due process for everyone, you know, completely across the United States of America. It's malicious.

Now Again, as I said, this is what gets into the absolute stupidity of the left's gun control positions. Because they and Harris believe that the government can come to your door armed with their guns and force you to give up your stuff and that it's gonna go completely peacefully because our super blessed and holy state has never done anything wrong, has never murdered anyone, has never killed anyone unjustly. None of those things have ever happened. And this is the same left, though, who insists that the state murdered Michael Brown.

Now, I don't believe the state murdered Michael Brown. I think that that's a very different case from Atiana Jefferson, et cetera. I mean, Michael Brown shows how he went out. But for the purpose of argument, this is what the left believes. They think that the state murdered Michael Brown.

They believe that the state murdered George Floyd. They believe that the state murdered Breonna Taylor, which I got, we talked about that.

Now, that's getting questionable, regardless of what you think about what she was doing at the time. Atiana Jefferson in Fort Worth, this was a woman who had a concealed carry license and someone did a check on her and she was inside and she looks out and see people creeping out her property and she's armed with a firearm and she gets shot because she has a firearm in her own home. I mean, there's a lot of questions. But all of the people who say that the state has been murdering innocent people are also the same people that are demanding that only the state should have guns. Do you see the stupidity of this position that the left holds as it pertains to gun control?

I mean, the justice system has absolutely repeatedly established that the state has no legal obligation at all whatsoever to protect your life. or to even defend you. One of the most recent cases was Castle Rock v. Gonzalez. I'm not going to even get into Warren versus the District of Columbia or Deshaney versus Winnebago County.

But Castle Rock v. Gonzalez, this is a horrible case. This was a case of a divorce, a divorced couple, and the father had the children, and the mother was, Jessica Gonzalez wanted a restraining order brought against her husband, and she didn't want the husband seeing the three daughters except during prearranged visits. And then he kidnapped the three kids. She was demanding that the police search for and arrest her husband, but the police said, oh, no, you got to wait.

Just wait until the husband brings the kids back. And during the night, he murdered all their kids. And then he opened fire instead of a police station.

So she brings a complaint against the police station, against Castle Rock, in district court, saying that her rights had been violated under due process clause because they did not, they willfully or negligently refused to enforce her restraining order. And what they found was that she had no legitimate claim. And they were saying that there, I mean, they didn't have to, ultimately, they didn't have to defend her life or the life of anybody else. I mean, this was. And that's not the only case.

I mean, you also had Deshaney versus Winnebago County, where it was, you know, kind of the same thing. This was back in 1980, and this was a divorce case that was in the state of Wyoming. And ultimately, what they determined was that. The 14th Amendment does not require The state or any kind of government department entity, et cetera, to protect people from any kind of violence at all, whatsoever, to protect their lives in the face of violence, that they're not liable for that.

So you have court case after court case after court case that establishes that the state has no legal obligation to protect your life. You have people who are demanding that the state has murdered innocent people, and yet these are all the same people who think that only this same state should be armed. That is the stupidity of the left's gun control positions.

Now, I asked this question earlier. How would Kamala Harris and all of these other people go and institute a mandatory buyback? Because mandatory suggests that there's an expectation of noncompliance.

So, how are you going to engage in something like this? Are you going to take your guns to go and confiscate guns, or are you going to do it through magic? It's a legitimate question. I mean, either you believe in the possibility of a tyrannical state to the point where you don't ever want to be disarmed by it, or you do not believe in the possibility of a tyrannical state and the founders were wrong. You cannot have both premises be true simultaneously.

And I always hear from people, well, she's only talking about AR-15. She's only talking about ARs.

Okay, so like an AR-10, an AR-15, or is it just like a caliber fetish? Is it just 223 that's bad, but 308's okay? You know, I'm really curious with the brainiacs and this is not anybody trying to flex on having a greater understanding of firearms. Language is important because the language that is used invokes certain aspects of the law. And if people can't respect this, then they shouldn't discuss it.

I am not going to have my rights abridged by a dumbass who does not know the difference between a 223 and a 308. And God help you if you try.

So, are we also only targeting the most commonly owned semi-automatic firearms? Like, because. If that's what we're doing, that's going to run afoul of the common use litmus test that was established by Heller. The Heller decision.

So maybe is it just the ones that are black? I mean, and what if instead of black we just use gray polymer? And do you see how goofy this is? And if it's about reducing crime, why not target black market pistols? That's most commonly used in gang and drug crimes.

Oh, because we can't penalize the criminals who Democrats seek to protect with restorative justice, heaven forbid. Thus, commonly owned semi-automatic rifles must be targeted instead.

Now, if this is about saving lives. Like actually saving lives, why not target drugs or drownings or automobile accidents, all of which are the number one killer of children when you remove the CDC's insistence on adding 18 and 19 year olds to the definition of children so they can pad the numbers and scare all the boxed wine moms in the sitting in their beige explosion living rooms on their jute rugs in heaven suburbia and scare all of them into thinking that everyone's kid's gonna be killed by a firearm when really 99% of it is driven by older juvenile young adults in gang and drug crimes When you remove 18 and 19 year olds from the definition of children, Since the CDC insists on it being included such as, then you're actually the number one killer? It's drugs, its automobile accidents, its drownings. They pad their numbers to scare people.

So The reason is because gun control isn't about any of those things. Gun control. It's about control. That's why. Ready wise is that's like food insurance, really.

So I can't even play the music.

Well, for two reasons. We can't play the music because we'll get dinged on YouTube because they're fascist. And also because I can't play half the damn words that Megan Dee Stallion is singing. In Her show. And I thought this part was wholesome.

Yeah, it was super wholesome. This part. Nothing. Espe yeah, nothing is nothing is more wholesome than um You know Yeah. I can't even Don't say it.

Don't do it. The song is called Body. And uh can't Well, she's talking about how a woman's body is crazy and a woman's body is curvy.

Okay.

And she has big memories. And a small waist. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then she says it again. And I like how today's culture embraces the word mammaries.

I'm just going to read some of the words I can say. That's good stuff. Gave it back. Um where's making it? Oh, like a barbecue, but you won't get your baby back.

Oh, God. Num, num, num. You're far enough in the song. You're far enough in. No, I want to make sure that people understand the newsy because she performed at Kamala Harris's a presidential campaign event.

So this is very newsworthy.

So again, she meant she remarks upon the The woman's body, the curviness of the body, the mammary glands, and the small waist. And then she again remarks upon the body and the curves. that the woman has the size of her mammary glands and her small waist. Yeah, yeah. And it keeps going from there.

Sounds clinical. They're saying mammary glands like this. Yeah, but she. That's what she was that's that was at the Uh Kamala Harris. Event.

Yeah. Uh and then she performed Savage. And And She talked about her mood. And asked what was happening, and then talked about our female copulatory organ gratuitously.

Okay.

Yeah. They're done. Right. Finished talking about this? It's taking everything I have right now.

So, is this part of Hose for Harris or what? Curious. Uh is it? What what 'cause we had now hold up, I'm asking genuinely. 'Cause we had white bronze for Harris.

Wait, were those cis bronzes? Not Cis Broads, I don't know. White broads for Harris, white dudes for Harris. I don't know. I'm just, you know, I'm just wondering.

If you're on stage at an event and you're talking about your male copulatory organ and another woman's memory glands, I'm just wondering if it's a host for Harris kind of thing. And then there's a million jokes to be made just about that alone.

So. Oh yeah, we are starting the second hour like this. This is the time we live in, guys. Dana Lash here with you. Welcome.

Top of the second hour of the program.

So she was at uh in Atlanta, she was at uh Kamala Harris Rally in Atlanta. I mean And then the people left. Lorraine noted that everybody was leaving. After Megan the Stallion performed, everybody left. Kamala hadn't even gotten out there.

hadn't even gotten out on the stage. And they were leaving. They were leaving. My favorite part Was the live stream that had Harris for president in the corner? While Megan E.

Stalling was singing about female copulatory organs and their various sizes. That was the chef's kiss. of the whole thing. Gotta say.

So. Well I mean decency is back. Dignity came in. Dignity is back. It's back in the White House.

I'm telling you what.

So there's that. I mean Right. Maybe just get two life crew up there. I don't know. I mean.

Where's EZ E when you oh yeah, Mega?

So I don't know.

So she ha so people were leaving before she she hadn't even been up there talking for like a couple of minutes and people started leaving. But that's you know campaign outreach. What my uh have y did you see some of the attendees in the background? Yeah, if you thought you were going to get a speech on policy. No, sirs.

No, sirs, no ma'ams. You're not. No. Okay.

That's that was awkward. Her that whole campaign thing that she did, that was awkward there. But hey. You know, if that's what it takes to try to get people to vote for you, the grandparents that were right behind her. As the dancers were twerking there at the event.

That was really especially the one with the little handkerchief on her neck. You know, that was just... Truly. Truly it.

So she couldn't I'm just, you know. I don't know. I'm never gonna say anything about Lee Greenwood being brought out on stage for the millionth time to sing. And I like Lee Greenwood, don't get me wrong, but literally, it's like every time a Republican puts together an event, they're like, wait a minute, do we have Lee Greenwood? Every time there's an event, it can't be an event, it can't go on unless Lee Greenwood is there to sing.

And I'm sure Lee Greenwood is like, you know, I got other songs. Yeah. I do have other songs. But it's most American one. Yeah, I know.

And they're all, you know, about America. It's almost like a funny farm scene. You know, at the end of, which, if you haven't seen, you've got to see it. Chevy Chase is in that movie when he was younger before he was an old man jackass. Uh, but Chevy Chase is in this movie, Funny Farm, and he buys this farm in upstate New York.

And, you know, they have this idyllic country life that's you know what him and his wife want. And anyway, it ends up falling apart, and they're trying to sell the place, and they. bring in all the townspeople to help them sell it. And so the townspeople literally are like releasing deer in the yard for as prospective homebuyers come in. And they have people that are, they're paying everybody $50 for like going above and beyond, trying to attract buyers.

And people are caroling and all kinds of, it's so ridiculous. But it's like that. Like they're going to release and like release the Eagles, cute Lee Greenwood. And then Lee Greenwood comes out right as an eagle soars and then fireworks go off. And I don't know.

I'm just, you know, I'm just saying.

So, this was, I guess, this was them trying to compete with that. Like I said, I'm never going to say anything about bringing out Lee Greenwood again. Because after this I'll take Lee Greenwood singing the same song a million times over. Then her trying to get this hot. And making certain things Well, I'm just saying Th those are the lyrics.

The white dits for Kamala behind her look I don't know. And some of the women don't look too. The saying.

So uh That's, I don't know. She's going to, Kamala's got to pull a little bit harder than this. She is the only Democrat thus far to qualify for the DNC roll call vote. And after a key deadline passed, she is officially the nominee with no opponents. Nobody else met the threshold of support necessary to contend for the party's nomination.

But still, I want to reiterate, she's not the official nominee yet. Not really the official nominee.

However, They have delegates that are going to be virtually formalizing, voting to virtually formalize her nomination, sticking to the party's existing plan to finalize the nominee before the August 7th. Ballot access deadline in Ohio, and she's going to have her running mate selected before then. I don't know if you she keeps daring Trump to debate her. She was saying she was trying to challenge Trump in Athens. Like, say it to my face.

Why don't you come and say to maybe you come to be you don't get to change everything and then Act like you're the one. Wait, what? You don't get to that snow. That's not how you That that's not how you do it.

So I don't know.

She's uh I mean, she's really trying to make up her lost ground with this campaign, I will say.

Now, eight in ten Democrats, here's what's funny: eight in ten Democrats say they're satisfied with Harris and a stark shift after Biden drops out. This is according to an Associated Press poll. But then I also have the honeymoon maybe over in another poll, a Harvard-Harris poll.

So you have dueling poles out. It's n all not the title of a Megan D Stallion song. It's That'd be a good one, that one. That'd be a good one. It's a good title.

Yes.

So She looks like she's gaining, she looks like she's getting traction, but she's really not. I mean, all of this is media gaslighting. She didn't have a bump. Any bump that she would have gotten, any of that time is already over. Thomas Harris is, this is Harvard Harris Caps poll 52 to 48.

Trump is leading her. There's another one. There's a poll out today. I wanted to get into this, and there's a piece, it's a very interesting piece up for subscribers over at Chapter and Verse that gets into Georgia and the VP pick because I think the VP and Kamala Harris's case is going to be incredibly important. Usually, Republican picks are not as important, but it depends all entirely upon who the candidate is.

So, with Barack Obama, the VP pick was very important. I think with Kamala Harris, it's going to be very important. Mike Pence was supposed to be like, oh, here's a statesman guy that we're going to add onto this ticket from this guy who doesn't have a political record. That was important. Uh I feel like Vance is less important as a pick.

than pence was. at this stage in the game. And depending on who Kamala Harris picks, I think ultimately they're looking at maybe like a Mark Kelly or a Josh Shapiro, and it seems more and more like it would be someone like a Josh Shapiro. He's trying to cultivate this record of moderation. I think it's going to make dear Bornistan mad, but I so that's the only that's the only hesitation I have in thinking that he's.

Um Um Would there would be a hurdle in selecting him because they've been so anti-Israel. Democrats have just the past, you know, year, particularly since October 7th.

So, I don't know. It's it's um It'll be interesting to see how this goes. She's going to make this decision very soon. If it's somebody like Mark Kelly, I think Mark Kelly has his own baggage coming from Arizona. I don't know how well they're going to need to leverage.

You have to have that leverage. Shapiro coming from You know, Pennsylvania brings that, I think, brings that leverage. That's a state that. Democrats are going to want to win. Republicans want to win it as well.

And I think that it then draws in stark contrast. If you have a governor of a state, of a swing state, that Kamala Harris puts on her ticket. I think that's going to draw a really sharp comparison to Vance not being a governor. And this gets into something I've said before. And I always wish that I had hoped that.

Because Brian Kemp was my number one pick for VP for Trump. Uh I think Vance was maybe like third. But because I liked young, I liked Kemp Yunkin, and then out of the. Vance, Rubio, Scott, whatever. Assortment I liked Vance better than the other two because the other two got soft on guns too much for me.

The reason I w was pushing for Kemp And sadly, the relationship between Trump and Kemp was such that it was never going to happen, and that was, you know, to our, you know, our detriment as a nation, I wrote. But Georgia is a is a must-win state for Republicans, and there's a new pollout. Showing and I was looking at the poll before I came on air. I went through it. it's a pretty i mean it's pretty decent and i think it's you know it's pretty reflective it shows that trump's got a lot of they got a lot of work to do in georgia that's why he and vance are going to georgia on saturday they have a campaign event scheduled for them uh but this um new poll that's out has Harris and Trump tied 47 to 47.

And in looking at the RCP averages of all of the surveys, save for one poll, which had a very small sample size and I think was oversampled, Trump has never led in Georgia beyond the margin of error. And that's a scary thing to think of, especially when you consider that this has been like one of the worst election cycles ever for Democrats. He's just not led in Georgia comfortably beyond that in any poll. And so. I think that Trump having had Kemp on would have been.

We're going to see the difference that makes depending on whether or not Kamala Harris adds a Democrat governor from a swing state onto her ticket as VP, if someone wants to jump on that landmine. Because remember, Trump's difficulty isn't going to be convincing the people who are independent. It's going to be convincing the traditional, non-hardcore Trump Republican. voters And that is Brian Kemp's base. That is his base.

And by the way, Brian Kemp has crazy high approval and popularity in Georgia. When he was re-elected, during his election in 2022, he had 52% approval rating. And I think what, this year, the last, it was measured at 63%, and it's just remained up there. He's a super, he's super popular in that state. That would have secured a chunk of the vote, but that wasn't Trump's strategy.

We're going to talk about that here coming up. Philsdale is a small Christian classical liberal arts college in southern Michigan, all about the pursuit of truth and defense of liberty, founded in 1844. At Hillsdale, they have a really if you like documentaries, if you like history, if you like any of that, all of that stuff, any or all of it, you're going to enjoy this video that they have up on their website, dana4hillsdale.com.

So, the Fed is poised to cut rates, ignoring Republican lawmakers if they follow through on this expected cut in September.

Some say fallout might be not immediately apparent, but a year of holding interest rates at really just I mean punishing levels. The now Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, he looks like he's going to start easing off before the election. How convenient. Is that just me being 10 foil cane? Convenient.

I don't know. Nora O'Donnell, I don't care. She's leaving. Nobody cares. She's leaving CBS News.

Nobody cares. A guy called Keanu Dude was a, don't do that. Don't put that on Keanu's name. His name is Keanu Dube was arrested for causing a massive wildfire because he burned an American flag. He was accused of starting this wildfire in Arizona.

He's Apache. It burned over 2,200 acres. He was arrested yesterday for starting the Watch fire. He burned 3.4 square miles, destroyed 21 homes, and forced over 400 people to evacuate reservation land before being contained last week.

So it actually hurt. you know, like his own people. I don't get this. They said the Apache tribe chairman for San Carlos, Terry Rambler, said it saddens me that a member of our tribe was charged with starting this. I mean, it devastated his community.

That's so cool. And of course, the guy's unemployed and has a criminal record. Shocker, shocker, right? Say, good grief. Let's see.

Tesla has recalled over 1.8 million vehicles in the US over a hood issue. It has to do with this. Failure of the software to detect whether or not the hood is latched. And so the National Highway Traffic Safety said yesterday about the recall that it could fully open and obstruct the driver's view.

So Tesla started rolling out an over-the-air software update to detect it and send a notification to customers. It's the 21 to 24 Model 3, Model S, Model X, and Model Y vehicles.

So make sure you check that out on the website. We have more to come. Stick with us. 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 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. Slash Dana for 10% off. That's BYRNA.com slash Dana.

So in this campaign I will proudly put my record against his any. Any day of the week. Any day of the week. Including, for example, on the issue of immigration. I mean, on the issue of immigration, I was reading this thing from the Boston Globe, by the way, that is slamming her on that issue.

They said that she has barely addressed the true root causes of immigration over the past three and a half years. That's an editorial that's over at the Boston Globe. Czar or not, she bungled it. And it's not as though, like, you know, the author is a big-time conservative. The Boston Globe itself is a.

huge conservative, but my heavens It's true, though. You're not going to be able to convince people by. Lying to them about this kind of stuff. It's just not going to happen. Welcome back to the program.

Dana Lash with you, bottom of this hour. And uh second hour, the The Veep stakes, we've been talking about the Veep stakes and the importance of. You know, who, depending on who you end up having on your ticket, the importance of that. And and how that can I think with her, it's going to be huge. With her, it's going to be incredibly important who she picks.

And as we get closer to that announcement, we'll talk more about it. A couple of other things. Secret Service, I wanted to touch on this. The acting Secret Service chief apparently played a key role in limiting resources for the former president, according to Real Clear Politics. Ronald Rowe, they report, was directly involved in denying the additional security resources and personnel, including countersnipers, to the former president's rallies and events, despite repeated document requests by the agents assigned to his detail in the two years leading up to the attempted assassination.

Notice how the left is not talking about this anymore. They talked about J six for How long? This is, they don't, this is, they're not even talking about this anymore. This is not even something that is coming up to them. They don't want to talk about this at all.

Nothing about an attempted assassination. Roe uh ended up He succeeded former Secret Service Director Cheadle, who resigned last week, and both of them were involved in decisions that were denying requests for more magnometers, additional agents, other resources to help at these rallies. And apparently, it was Roe's decision alone to deny counter-sniper teams to any Trump event outside of driving distance from D.C.

Now Roe and the FBI deputy director, they appeared yesterday before the Senate Judiciary. And they've been pressed for answers on this, but this is, it just keeps getting worse and worse. And the other thing that I wanted, I was thinking too, not only has the media. Kind of Dropped the attempted assassination. Where did the story go that it was Iran that was behind?

you know, all of these threats to Trump. Right? Where was where was that at? The Iran trying to, you know, this plot, remember this came out. the plot uh of this um From Iran, ramping up, because that was one of the reasons they, this, like, this was first reported in the days after.

the attempted assassination. And I'm just, you know, where did this story go? Audio Sun by 22, this was Garland, the AG. Listen to this. Garland, telling us more about the Iranian threat against Mr.

Trump and other former U.S. officials. Our intelligence community has made clear that we believe that the Iranians are attempting to kill or injure former high government officials. This is an ongoing issue. We have ongoing investigations.

You don't think we've seen the end? I don't think we've seen the end of Iranian plotting. I'm trying not to have tin foil. Like Kane does every day. Can I just throw something out just for the purpose of speculation?

Okay.

I'm not saying that this is the case, but I'm Just for the purpose of discussion. Is it weird? How You have this rando. Climbs up on a roof in full view of everyone. Takes a shot.

Shots. at the former President. Nix's ear. Almost killed him could have killed him. And then days after they float this, oh, well, you know what?

It was because of this Iranian plot, just, you know, just FYI, just this plot existed. There was a a plot to assassinate him. No known connection to the shooting. If you believe in deep state stuff, and I'm not saying, I'm just saying that that's what this is. Oh, you're not?

No, I'm just speculating. I'm just putting it out there to talk about all the things. I'll say it then. Were they gonna take him out and then blame it on Iran? I mean I wish I could.

Kane looks like that puppet in that gif who looks at the camera and then side-eyes the camera. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so I I don't know. I I really think that there was an effort here. Uh that is in the deep state area the way people would describe it, And I believe that Trump was extremely lucky.

And that this Iran story is just sort of more of a deflection. I think they would have leaned on the incompetence with Kimberly Cheadle. And the communications between local law enforcement and Secret Service, I think they would have leaned on that. And then fape the focus. Over to the The shooter.

And by the way, you know how much they cleaned up on his social media before? Oh, yeah. You know what I mean? Like, actually, before the shooting, even.

So, yeah. Please. Yeah, there's not a lot. I mean, he apparently.

Some p is law enforcement was saying that there wasn't it it was He didn't have a Steam account, but he had some social media. There's a lot of questions out there. There's a lot of questions that are still out there. And it's just. Weird how The media doesn't seem interested in this, and the media just completely decided to disregard.

This story about oh, was this an Iranian plot? I don't know. They wanted to.

Now, I could say that I could understand Iran not liking Trump because. He didn't want to really sanctions. Yeah, he didn't want to, he didn't want to. Make it easier for them, as Biden did. Biden eased up on sanctions, and that's how they were able to get millions and millions of dollars of cash infusion.

Trump didn't want to do that. Maybe, you know, because you have blinking now saying, oh my gosh, you know, they. Uh Iran is one to two weeks away from starting to build a nuke. He said this a few days ago. I mean, they actually probably already have it, if we're being honest.

But what did you think would happen after you had two Democrat administrations that did everything they possibly could to make sure that Iran could go nuclear? You mean you're shocked by this?

So He was at the Aspen Security Forum Blinken, and he was saying, Yeah, they're probably one or two weeks away from having enough fissile material to construct a nuclear weapon. Although, you know, they probably already have it.

So I can see why Iran might not like Trump, but I also don't immediately believe everything is the way that it looks. I mean, a lot of times I'll say, oh, Occam's razor, but meaning the most that the most obvious thing might be the most likely. But I don't believe that with them. I think that they're they they relied too heavily on that That axiom to, and I don't believe that in this instance. It's all just incredibly weird to me.

And there's all this other video that has come out. Of there was a video that someone took behind, it was on Trump's left side. Yes.

I think in the bleachers that came out You can see this dude on the rooftop as clear as day. Crawling on top of the roof. And that's at the same level that Trump was at. It's not like they had a higher perch than Trump. They didn't.

And you could still see the head of this guy walking across the roof.

So, the testimony that we saw yesterday in the Senate oversight. That couldn't have been true. what Roe was saying yesterday. Yeah. Oh, I don't believe anything that they said.

I think I think that there is a level of recklessness and a level of incompetency. But at some point I think that when you fail to fix it. it becomes malicious. and purposeful. and weaponized.

And then it's really no different than if you had planned it. At that point. Right? And I'm kind of there because I just can't. I just can't figure out.

A, how stuff like this is allowed to happen. And B The fact that the media is so disinterested in it. To me? Makes me ask more questions. I just, I have even more questions.

It's even worse than that because. Big tech is actually erasing the fact that. Oh, yeah, they're erasing it. I mean, Meta had to apologize. They didn't mean to censor out one of the photos.

This is desperation. And It's desperation and it's and it's I just don't believe a single damn thing that the left says anymore. I really don't. I don't want to unify with these people. I don't want to unify with people who are like, oh, we can't show a photo of a guy after somebody tried to assassinate him.

That's too powerful. of an element for him to use. I mean, that's immediately what the left thinks of. The left doesn't think of, I mean, to say nothing about his well-being. Let's just, you know, if you're so partisan that you can't even be human, let's just sidestep the fact that, you know, these people can't even be human enough to be like, oh my gosh, I hope he's okay.

Think about the well-being of the nation. You know, a republic that has for years existed on a bloodless transfer of power. And sorry, but Democrats have been trying to do everything in their power to prevent that from, you know, they don't want a transfer of power. I mean, 2016, that was an attempted coup. They actually tried to use our government agencies, and I don't believe that they have built up enough power within them yet, but they were trying to use our agencies to undermine a free and fair election.

That's why they were laundering. you know, gossip that they g purchased from the Kremlin. And it turned out like the FBI wouldn't even verify it. They're like, oh my gosh, all this time on this, and it's nothing. And they worked with this, Hillary Clinton and the DNC worked with that firm, Fusion GPS.

That were lobbying on behalf of these Russian oligarchs, but weren't registered under FARA. They'll throw Paul Manafort in jail for that, but not Fusion GPS and Glenn Simpson. And then they were. you know, basically paying journalists to Take this opo as though it was gospel truth, and then Fusion GPS would take those stories. They had a person on staff who was married to someone in the DOJ, Nellie and Robert Orr, or Bruce Orr, and then send it.

uh send it to uh the oars And then or took it to FISA and was able to secure a surveillance warrant. using the information that they had laundered through this as as proof of it. I mean, that's a whole racket. And trying to spy on people and claim that they were so compromised by foreign operators that they could not be in elected office. I mean, that's ultimately what they were building to.

They've been trying to do this since the day that he won the election. in 2016.

So I don't, and the fact that the media is, if you've ever questioned, I don't think people should even go into journalism anymore. I don't think you should. That's first off, it's a trade, okay? It's not like a specific specialty, it's a trade. Anybody can do it.

And these people get high on their own supply and act as though, well, you have to go to a school, a school to do what? Sell BS? You have to go learn how to peddle BS. Anybody can learn how to write a story. You don't need to spend thousands of dollars and get a four-year degree to learn how to properly balance a story.

That's such a stupid ass racket. It really is. It is such a waste of time. This is not like some sacred, blessed profession. Everyone should be able to do it.

It's one of the reasons why they wanted to try to get people licensed to do it because they wanted to control the information. That was actually a Chuck Schumer proposal, like back when. No, it's a trade. It's a trade. And The fact that no one in this legacy press Has accurately called 2016 what it was.

The fact that no one corrected all the narratives and all the hyperbole about J6, and the fact that nobody seems to want to get to the bottom of this. What the hell point is it to have them? The press is nothing more than they're the Democrat Party. You just got to look at them like that. But I don't know.

It's, you can't get any, and we saw how destructive it was to not have. Um um um uh like actual free from partisan press during lockdown. And now as we're going into this, you know, fog of electoral war, Even more so. Coming up, Iran tells Israel, you're going to pay for this. Iran should just go pound sand with their stupid religious leaders, our partners over at Goldco, because the government wants to spend all of the money that you've worked so hard to accrue.

It's not really your money, it's their money. They just think that you get to work for it for them, and then you're supposed to give it all to them. That's why they, you know, tax and spend, tax and spend. It's why inflation is so crazy. It's why eggs are $7 for a dozen.

And that's not bougie eggs. Those are just regular basic chickens laying regular basic eggs.

So, this is why I've and a lot of other people decided to diversify and protect what we've earned with top-rated company Goldco.

Uh all right, so first up. Couple. Couple includ and some I can't really some I'm not going to touch. Uh this is Long crime. A Florida man throws $15,000 in cash out of the car window with a naked.

Pooh covered child in the front seat, Dad of the Year here. Oh man. And then It shows the sh the The leading photo that shows this guy shirtless as a Marion County Sheriff's Deputy tackles him. Oh my gosh.

So they were responding to a road rage incident, and the guy threw $15,000 in cash out of his window. Deputies responded about 6.30. The deputy arrived, saw a man identified as 38-year-old Jose Hernandez throwing garbage out of his car. There was a young kid naked, covered in just. Like These In the front seat of the car, not even buckled up.

And They apparently had two dogs in the back seat. One of them was aggressive. Uh the the guy would not get out. He Kept dropping money out. I don't know.

It this guy looked insane. They had to use a spray to get the dogs away.

so that they could take this guy into custody. He had fentanyl and also tons of fentanyl in baggies to distribute in his vehicle. He's facing charges of battery and an officer.

Okay, here we go. Battery of an officer, resisting arrest, neglecting a child without bodily harm, trafficking in fentanyl, four grams or more. And I'm just going to say, generally, possession of drug paraphernalia. He went to Marion County Jail. They actually don't know if he was the kid's dad.

Like, they don't have it. In the article.

So they don't even know whose kid it really was. That's kind of terrifying. Not endangering the child. If you've got a bunch of fentanyl you're carrying around with the kid. Uh, yeah.

I mean,. A Florida man on a stolen Walmart scooter led police on a very slow speed chase. Lakeland, Florida. A very low speed chase a Florida man on a stolen scooter tried to elude deputies. And He guess what?

After a mile, the little electric scooter was no match for it was a shopping scooter, was no match for the Polk County deputies.

So they just called the guy Troy. He stole a bunch of jewelry and handheld game devices, and he took one of their little electric scooters and tried to scooch along. The uh Guy named Troy hit speeds of a whole two mile per hour. Slow down. Yeah, before someone called to report a suspicious person driving an electric shopping cart.

uh they on the highway. Deputies caught up to him near the Dunkin' Donuts. And uh He was in possession of all the merchandise, plus the getaway cart. And the stolen scooter was actually worth more than what he stole from the store.

So he's got a grand theft charge. But also, how dumb are you? You deserve to be caught because you're too stupid to have your stupidity go out there and spread. That's crazy. Oh my heavens.

Like, why even do something like that? And let's see. Oh, we had the bag of drugs yesterday. That was. Telling you what that was.

So a Florida woman beat a PetSmart employee over a bag of crickets. What? Yeah. Miami, I don't know, 24-year-old woman surrendered to police. They accused her of beating a pet store employee over a disagreement about a bag of crickets.

It was a sale of crickets. The woman was arrested, 24-year-old Genevieve Hildago. Stay with us. Third hour on the way. Folks that help bring you free radio.

Green, following up on that, did the president see the last supper controversy at the Olympics? Do you know the last supper control? I appreciate the question. I just don't have anything. Millions of Christians across the globe were offended by it.

The president's Christian was. I just answered your question. I just answered your question. I don't have anything else to add. Did he see it?

Thank you. Thank you so much. Can you just say if you saw it or not? What is with this juvenile? I just don't know.

You're the Flipping spokesperson. Can you just like have a better, more professional presentation than this garbage? Jiminy Christmas Nord strum pipe line lady Can't pronounce half of the damn words in the booklet they hand her. Come on You know what? I can't stand the damn Olympics, and I don't care.

I haven't been watching any of it. It's Bread and Circus 2024. Dana, why are you such a curmudgeon? Have you met me? Hi, welcome to the show.

We're at the uh Top Of our third hour. You can listen coast to coast. You find us at Channel 347 DirecTV. Also an X. On Rumble, had tip to our friends living in chaos.

Who they I didn't, it's the whole thing about Rumble tips. Like people give you t tips on Rumble. Is I like that's actually pretty neat, and I had literally no idea that it had happened. And then Lorraine's like, somebody like put $20 on the show. I'm like, what?

Like how does that even happen? It just fascinates me. Yeah. Makes me think we should do crazy things, you know? I'm for it.

Right? I don't know. Like, you know how they have those people that do anime stuff? And that's like real life people, and they just do goofy things, and it's weird, and people it's just really, I don't, I'm never gonna do that, but you get the, you know. Anyway.

The uh I gotta tell you, we got a what is it, a notification yesterday.

So YouTube hates us. I and I I don't I'm not really a fan of them either. But it's so frustrating because we had what is it? We had this thing where they knocked us because you can't even talk about Bread and circuses. I'm not even going to say the I'm not, I'm talking about the Olympics, but I'm not going to say it anymore.

It's only bread and circuses from here on out because the IOC may lose their mind and try to go after anybody who says it. I mean, it's like that at that level. They've been so mad from the backlash at their opening games.

So, when we had the thing about the pommel horse yesterday, even just talking, you show it for a second, even if it's fair use, it doesn't matter. YouTube doesn't care. They put a strike on your account and they take your video down, they do all of this stuff.

So, you can't actually talk about bread and circuses. The Olympics doesn't want you talking about it. It's weird. It's like they don't, do they even want people watching it? I don't know.

I would love to know what their ratings are like. But they took the official video of their opening ceremony down. Because I mean, people liked the London one, but they just didn't like the Par they didn't like the Paris one. And they never said why they took it down. All the full-length versions of the opening ceremonies from London, from Rio, from Beijing, even like all the ones back in the 90s are still up.

But they took this one down. They've been deleting it off YouTube. Because, to quote Megan E. Stallion, they're giant female copulatory organs. You know, if I'm going by Kamala Harris's.

For And Are you okay? She hey, Kamala Harris is bringing dignity back by having people twerk at her event. What? Stop came for being anti-dignity. Why are you so anti-dignity?

Is that what I am? Yeah. All right.

So they um anyway, they they took it down. They've been deleting it because they're super sensitive and it's stupid. And it was a horrible, dumb no one wants to see fat, ugly drag queens shaking their A double snakes on camera and calling it art. That's nasty. I don't want to see a fat dude with breasts bigger than mine dancing on, you know.

television as part of the opening ceremony for the Olympics. I mean, it's supposed to be about fit people doing fit people things. I'm not supposed to see giant man babies dressed in drag. It's weird. Or a guy with one of his beans sticking out of his little booty shorts.

That's nasty. I mean, come on. You know what it is.

So it's like, I don't even care. I'm not watching it. Why the hell would I watch any of it? It's stupid. I care more about watching Jambalushi and little chocolate donuts commercials than I do about this.

I care more about that than I do about this. I don't care. I don't care. I'm not going to watch any of it. I don't care.

I would rather sit and drink a glass of wine and watch a serial killer documentary. Than that. I just They made it so dumb, but they've been taking it off because people have been making fun of their bad opening ceremony online. They dressed a guy, it was a giant fat smurf. That dude was a faith.

And then to add insult to injury, they come out and they're like, this wasn't based on the Last Supper. Even though our producer and the people who literally came up with the idea are on video all over the internet saying it literally was based on the Last Supper and it's a commentary on faith. Yeah, they're all over the, but we're going to act like you, Rubes, are stupid and you don't understand Greek mythology. Yeah, that's the point. And then all of these equally stupid far-left morons come out.

That's right. It was fair. It was about Greek mythology. Completely unaware that all of the people who produced it, directed it, and conceived the idea were on video in numerous interviews leading up to the opening games performances. That it was, yes, it's all about the Last Supper and it's all about, you know, Christianity, etc.

It's stop it. And they're trying so hard to carry big buckets of water for these people.

So, no, I'm not watching it. I mean, I'm not going to watch it. Unless the people who participated in the opening ceremonies are going to do like parody events in the Olympics. No, I'm not. I'm not.

Have you watched any of it? I haven't watched any of it. I don't even care. I can't even tell you how many medals we won. I watched a little bit of it.

I saw the highlights from Simone Biles. I thought that was good. I don't care. The female rugby stuff I saw. I thought that was good.

Aren't they all fighting with each other too? Because one of the gymnasts said something nasty on social media about the other gymnast team and something about them not having the work ethic, and then she apologized for it, and then all these catty comments. And I'm like, you're grown people. And oh my gosh. Yeah, I don't know anything about that.

I don't know. But yeah, I saw some clips. I would much rather watch like the Scottish games where people throw trees. Right. What do they call those things?

I don't know, they're like telephone poles. Yeah, they call actual trees. They call them actu they throw actual trees. It's like that I don't know what I care if it's like on the tip of my tongue. The internet's gonna tell me.

It's called the log toss or something. It's not called the log toss. I think that's what it's called. It has a Scottish name and they all eat haggis.

Okay, sidebar. Um one time I had a bunch of like uh I'm just I don't know how else to put it for the sake of timeliness. I had a bunch of Scottish people come in the studio when I was in St. Louis one time and they brought in like, you know, Scottish stuff and I'm like, I'll have your scotch all day long. They brought in haggis, which I was positive I was gonna hate.

And everyone's like, you're gonna hate the haggis, you're gonna hate it. And everyone was telling me how much I was gonna hate it. Except for the Scottish people. They're like, oh, the Scottish people are going to come in. They're going to make you eat that haggis.

So nasty. I heard, like, every, like, leading up to it, the whole week leading up to it, oh, you're going to hate it. And I tried it. Loved it. I don't know why, and I'm not gonna get your shade on it.

I loved it. And I was like, what's wrong with you people? This is delicious, isn't it? Nutritious too, very nutritious meats. Thank you.

I'm just gonna say, yeah. Yeah. So I don't know.

I but but anyway, the Olympics have been slapping everyone with cot even more so this year, talking to our digital folks, even more so this year than ever before, because people made fun of them.

So they're super aggressive about it.

So they've been using DMCA takedowns to get rid of all the reposts. They've been going after people on social media. How dare you How dare you post our public games Yeah. I just think it's funny because you know it's very much a success when they're going around telling everyone, threatening them legally to take down. reposts on social media of the opening games and their fat smurf and all that stuff, you know.

I can't even. Oh my gosh, I just can't. By the way, speaking of which, the naked blue man. The chonky Smurf. That's his name.

You know that, right? They had Smurf at, they had Papa Smurf. They had sleepy smurf. This is just chonky smurf. I mean, can anybody who ever watched the Smurfs as a child, like Gargamel already remembers him?

This is chonky smurf. You didn't really see chonky smurf a lot. He wasn't like an A-list character in the Smurfs. He wasn't one of the main family members, but he was there in the background. Chunky Smurf.

Yeah. So the chonky Smurf. uh his uh French actor and singer. And he spoke out and he was dismissing. He goes, it wouldn't be fun if there wasn't any controversy.

You know what? The controversy is so boring. Let me tell you something. I got a rescue pop, okay? Haven't even had this dog for a week and this dog I've had dogs before.

I've had super smart dogs and I've had dumb dogs. And I've had dogs that were easy to train and dogs that were not easy to train. This is the smartest dog I've ever had. He's raptor smart. He's going to be opening door handles in the next couple of days.

I'm like, he's already right there. He can fold-fitted sheets already. He's so good. He's not all the way potty trained yet. And he gets these things that normal people and their dogs, they call the zoomies.

We call them the demons. And he just flies like someone stuck a rocket up his backside all through the house, and it's crazy. He's like a bullet bill. He turns into it and he's nuts. Anyway.

Um You know, he'll do something completely shocking, like, you know, take a deuce on my hardwood floor. right by the front door and the bells that he's supposed to ring to go out, which he does sometimes. That to me is shocking, and I still think it was more artistic than what I saw. From the clip of the opening ceremony at the Olympics, it was more artistic, softer lines, Kane. Yeah, very artfully laid it was the deuce.

Way more artistic than this. And everyone's like, What? It was artistic. What about the controversy? Try it with Islam and then get back to me on how well that goes, town of Charlie Hebdo.

Come and tell me how well that works out. If you go, you know why? Because you people are artistic cowards. You're fat, uninspired, unoriginal, stupid, just absolutely shallow artistic cowards. You go for the lowest hanging fruit because Christians don't cut your heads off, is why.

So you constantly go back to the well of Christianity. Hey, let's mock Christianity again. Let's put a crucifix in a jar of urine. Let's do this same stuff over and over again. And we can do it because no one's going to be cutting our heads off or blowing up our buildings in which we live in.

But you do a comic about, you know, Muhammad, and all of a sudden your whole staff is murked.

So, don't sit here and act like it's artistic or it's brave or it's courageous. There's nothing brave or courageous about it. I just see people with low self-esteem and no body awareness. Try to pass off doing something that requires less effort than what my rescue dog laid in front of my door as art. It's not the same.

I'm so tired of it. I was tired of it when I was a kid, and Madonna did it with her video. At some point, Will someone try to think of something, a more creative way? Like we've literally gone from the time of. You know, Michelangelo with his amazing sculpture and paintings and Rubens and all of these, you know, amazing artistic expressions to a fat dude dressed as a Smurf dancing around on a table, and then they try to act like it's you being stupid about Greek mythology when they've given multiple interviews leading up to it saying it was absolutely based on the Last Supper and it is a parody on faith.

Stop it. I have no, these people aren't artists, they're grifters. This isn't art. This is laziness. It's uninspired.

And it's just so tired. And I'm so tired of drag queen stuff with, oh, I'm going to be shocking with drag queens. Oh my gosh.

You know, I was over that when my uncle put in Rocky Horror Picture Show when we were on a family houseboat on Table Rock Lake, and I was in sixth grade going into seventh grade. And my uncle's like, Here's a fun movie for the kids. And without any parental supervision, because that's how it was in the days of baby Gen X elderly millennial, we watched it. You can't shock me. I am unshockable.

And I think most people living in the world in which we live now. are pretty much on the same page, especially when it is this level. This is just basic bitch stuff. And you call it art? It's not art, it's cringe.

Oh my gosh.

And by the way, it makes just like direct, like, I thought like there was supposed to be an elevated art to the stuff that the French do. French peop the French have really let us down with this. Really let us down. Disappoint.

So no, I'm not watching Bread and Circuses. Long story. Made short. All right, we have more on the way as we roll into bottom. We got Ken Paxton coming up.

He's where's he at? He's, I don't know. He's on the moon. I don't know. He's trying to, they're dealing with Wi-Fi issues.

He's going to be joining us because there's some interesting stuff, like a meta suit, all this other we're going to talk to him about. And now, all of the news you would probably miss: it's time for Dana's Quick Five.

So, a UFO sighting in a visa is that people are flipping out. Like, it's off the coast of Spain. It's an island off the coast of Spain. Everybody goes there to vacation. A lot of Yachtis, a lot of rich and famous.

But apparently, there's videos showing a group of people. They see a UFO flying across the sky. My first thought was: are they drunk or high? You know, which would be expected. But apparently, they saw something.

So, don't know. I mean, we'll. A very, I don't know, we'll see. But this is like what? Like, how often have we been?

Uh Yeah, with these like sorry, I'm having some technical difficulties here with these UFOs because this is like what the second kind of headline that we've seen, you know, kind of recently that we've seen of it, where people have been spotting some unidentified, they don't really call them UFOs anymore, though. What are they called? Unidentified. It's an unidentified flying object. What do you mean, aerial phenomenon?

What does that even mean? Let's see. Moving on. We have the young onset dementia in the young apparently is more common than thought, but it's not that. It's not the uh Jab, says Kane.

It's totally not the jab at all whatsoever. There's a couple of studies out talking about young onset dementia, and alarming research is showing that it's more common than thought. An eye-opening study from Finland. affecting people under s Under age of 65. You really think it could be because of the jam?

for sure. Yeah. We don't even have any long-term dad on this jab where it's all starting to come out now. Brain parasites found in cat feces could be trained to spit out special proteins to treat Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

Okay.

Who comes up with this stuff? Yeah, can Big Pharma calm down a little bit? Can y'all calm down? And a man contracts lethal bleeding eyes disease from a tick bite. That's a thing.

So, wait, we can become allergic to red meat and then your eyes can bleed. I'm going to come back to this one later. We got Kim Paxon up next. Stick with us. The Dana Shoe Podcast, your fast, funny, and informative news companion for those always on the move.

You can watch a simulcast also. X, Rumble, Channel 347, Direct TV, we're everywhere. Have you ever noticed like Maybe previously if you were uploading photos or something to Facebook, it would auto s like would automatically suggest To tag someone, isn't that weird? And it was kind of creepy because sometimes it would tag like the wrong people. Right.

Wait, that's a whole other subject.

Well, that's because they were engaged in some illegal activities as it pertains to the Great Republic of Texas. And so the headline out now is Texas and Meta, which is the parent company of Facebook, have reached a $1.5 billion settlement. Over this facial recognition suit. And I was reading from Attorney General Ken Paxton. He put out a statement about this just yesterday morning, saying that they wanted to stop Meta's practice of capturing.

And using the personal biometric data of millions of Texans without the authorization that is required by law.

Now, it is the largest ever settlement that's been obtained from an action brought by a single state, and it's the largest settlement ever from an AG. An attorney general Ken Paxton, who is traveling, joins us now via Skype. General, so good to see you. Congrats on this win.

So, my first question, and this might be kind of silly, and I admittedly, I'm not the attorney here, which is why you are. You're the attorney general. We know nothing of how this works, Kane and I. We were wondering how much of the one and a half billion we get from the settlement. What does this mean?

I thought we'd just write you a check today. What do you need now? Yeah! I love Ken Taxton. Yay!

What does it mean, general? Look, we're a different branch of government. We're in the executive branch. The money comes into the state of Texas. It goes into general everything.

The legislature will determine. where that money goes. I personally would love to see every Texan get a property tax cut as a result of that 1.4 billion. What? That would be my suggestion.

Yeah. Clip that cane. Clip it. Oh my gosh.

I mean, just this is how you win every reelection ever.

Okay.

I'm sorry, General, I did not mean to interrupt you, but that's actually a great idea. Why not? I mean, everybody's been harmed by it. Everybody in the state's been harmed by this, what Facebook did, what Meta did. Why shouldn't every Texan benefit?

Now, ultimately, the legislature is going to have to decide how to dole out that $1.4 billion. It's going to be sitting there. Why not give it back to the taxpayers who are the ones that have been harmed? And this is important to note, too, because it wasn't just, you know, it sounds so simple and innocent, you know, when you just put it like, oh, it's auto-tagging photos, like, you know, just something simple that people see, but it's a lot more malicious than that. Explain to folks exactly what was happening, how Meta was using our biometric data.

Well, first of all, we have a state law that says they can't do it. If they're going to steal your face, they're stealing your facial geometry and they're stealing your voice print. If they're going to do that under Texas law, they're required to you're required to give consent. The the individual, the consumer is supposed to give consent. And then if they do it, they're not allowed to sell it to third parties unless they get consent.

And then if they do that even, they have to get rid of the data at a reasonable point. They weren't doing any of that. I think the way they operated was, hey, If we get caught, we'll just write a small fine. We'll pay a small fee. We're making so much money doing this.

Who cares? And that's what a lot of these big tech companies think. They think, We're making so many billions of dollars. We don't have to follow laws because even if we get caught, I mean, first of all, who's going to catch us? Second of all, who's going to sue us?

Third, who's going to win? And fourth, even if they win, what are they going to get?

So there's a lot. This took years, years and years and years to get to.

So this is a message really to all big tech companies. Hey, if you do things like this, we will eventually follow up and we will sue you and we will win and you will pay. I love that. I was talking with Attorney General of the Great Republic of Texas, Ken Paxton. And because I hear sometimes from people, well, you know, continuing to use the service is consent.

But I think it's important to know, General, too, that this wasn't reflected as the way I understand it in their updated terms of service. They just started, they just rolled it out and started doing it. No, they didn't disclose it at all. And they didn't follow Texas law. But even if there was no Texas law, they were not disclosing what.

And I know that some people don't care about privacy, but I do. And I know a lot of people do in Texas care about their privacy and protecting it and not having their data sold. Why should you have your data sold? Why shouldn't you monetize that? Why shouldn't you make money off of that?

Why should Facebook get to make money off of you without telling you? That's a really good point because people need to remember we're kind of viewed as these companies as the product. And if they wanted to monetize our usage of it, I mean, there's ways to partner with people to do it without doing this, you know, this very, you know, it's this very surreptitious kind of, you know, backhanded thing that they were doing. And it's, and privacy is incredibly important, especially now we're in an era of deepfakes and AI and everything else. That's incredibly important to protect not just privacy, but identities.

Yeah, no, absolutely. I mean, this is your individual information and these Oh, we seem we got a little freeze here. I should note that the AG has been, he's in France right now. Billions of dollars. There he is.

We got you. Froze a little bit, but we got you right back. I'm sorry. I'm going to ask you to repeat that, General. We got you right back.

Oh, we got a bit of a hiccup. Or he's really good at staying still. He might be very good at staying very still. It could also be that. I mean, you know, he's the, you know, he's very good at this.

We're talking with having a little technical difficulty there with Attorney General Ken Paxton. I should note, he's traveling in France. He's been, you know, because this year has marked the 80th anniversary of D-Day. And so he's been traveling in France. He's been visiting Normandy and he was able to join us.

And I think we got him now. When you're traveling like that and he's making it work and we appreciate his persistence at it, I was just telling everybody, general, that you've been traveling and you had the amazing opportunity to visit Normandy. And I mean, with the 80th anniversary of D-Day this year. Yeah, I love World War II history. I've studied it.

I've spent a lot of time just trying to understand what happened. My father was in the Air Force. I have children that were in the armed services.

So it was very moving for me. I was out at the cemetery yesterday. Uh, we were at Omaha Beach. We're going back to Utah Beach, and we're going to tour some more around there. It just It was such an amazing sacrifice.

It was so amazing what those men and women did so quickly, going from really no armed services. I think we were ranked number 19 in the world when it all started. And to build up and really save the world, it's just, it's really remarkable to see it. Yeah, it is. It's amazing to see.

And I love what you pointed out, too, that we were able to go from 19th with our military, and then we became an absolute powerhouse. And we were able to make, I mean, we were able to come bounce back from Pearl Harbor and be self-sufficient with fixing our ships and getting everything that we needed, supplying everybody with ammunition. It makes us all question if we can do that again under these economic policies, which is why we need to change in November. Part of that has to do also, General, as you know, with the border. And this has been, this is huge because now you've had a big victory with the border.

Those buoys that have been there in the Rio to help discourage illegal entry, there's been a lot of effort from the administration to tear those down. They've lost. Yes, we've had two victories. That's our first victory. We've had a good week.

The buoys are really important to us because we can put them in the water and it saves lives. It saves immigrant lives and it makes it easier to keep them off of Texas soil. And it does it at a lower cost than actually having to build a wall.

So it everything is good about it. And the Biden administration was trying to stop us from doing it, and they've failed. We are now have been successful. We have an injunction. To stop the federal government from stopping us from doing the right thing so we can protect our border.

And then we also just got a victory, in another case, a final victory. where we tried to force the administration to spend the money that was appropriated to build the wall. and they are now being forced To build the wall, because they don't get to decide how money is spent, Congress does. They stopped spending money on the wall and we sued them. It took a couple years.

But we got a final victory on that this week as well.

So they are going to have to start building that wall.

So it's been a good week. It's been a very good week. And those force multipliers, as we've heard from Border Patrol, it's absolutely necessary, especially general in places where it's a lot. I mean, they have to cover so much ground. Border Patrol has to cover so much ground.

And you have to have those force multipliers to help offset some of that. Yeah, I mean, we need to use all the technology and all the tools that we have. And the administration has tried to hamstring us every step of the way and stop us from being effective. Of course, their goal was to get as many people through that border as they possibly could in four years because they wanted voting in this election.

So I understand their goal, but they're violating federal law, they're violating the U.S. Constitution. And that's how we're winning these cases. We're actually applying the Constitution, applying federal law, and forcing them to actually follow something they have no interest in following. And that's our tax dollars, too.

I mean, we voted through the consent of our vote. To our congressional members. This is what voters chose. And it's amazing to me that the federal government general could just say, no, we're not going to use your money that you voted for, and we're not going to do the thing that you voted to have the government carry out and secure the border and build this wall. I mean, how can they do that?

Well, the Biden administration, by doing these things, is nullifying your vote. They're saying we don't care who you vote for in Congress, we don't care what they pass. We're not going to follow it. We're like Benzoela. We have a little dictatorship going on.

We don't believe in the Constitution. We don't believe in. In following what the legislature is appropriate, we're going to make up our own rules and we're going to spend money over here differently than what the elected officials in Congress have decided. That's unconstitutional. Yeah.

I feel like, you know, you're talking, we're talking to Attorney General Ken Paxton, the great Republic of Texas, the huge one and a half billion dollar settlement for Meta, and then now these two victories as it pertains to the border. I'm wondering if we could get some of our tax dollars that we pay into the federal government, General, to help secure our nation's southern border. It seems like the federal government's been doing everything to stymie that.

So maybe they could give some of our money that they refused to use back to us since they haven't been doing their job.

Well, I think if you hear we get we get two worlds here, right? If Joe, if Emily Harris is elected, we're not going to see techs. But if we see Donald Trump elected, we will get some of that money back and we'll get the wall built. And let me ask you this too, because she was the self-proclaimed, and also Biden proclaimed, White House proclaimed, it was on the White House website, and he said it himself on camera, borders are. She never spoke to you either, has she?

Has she ever spoke to you, the Vice President, about any of these issues? No, she never even spoke to me when she was Attorney General in California and I was attorney general in Texas. She she didn't have time for that. No, she never I never saw her have any interest in the border other than to go to Central America and give away money. I didn't ever see her try to do any of the, I didn't even see her try to enforce any federal laws.

And now she's claiming she wasn't the border czar. I don't care what they call her. She was vice president of the United States, supporting every policy and every attempt by the Biden administration to dismantle federal law.

So I don't know how she's, you know, the media is trying to like distance herself, distance her from Joe Biden, but let's be honest. She was vice president of the United States and she supported every single. That she did. She supported every single thing. That Biden had done.

We are running out of time here, though, with the Attorney General of the Great Republic of Texas, General Ken Paxton. We pray for your safe travels. As a World War II history buff, I'm very envious that you're getting to see some amazing things in northern France.

So enjoy your trip, safe travels, and we look forward to having you back in the Republic and taking it because there's still more we got to talk about. There's more fights that you're spearheading, and we appreciate all you're doing on behalf of Texans and Americans. Thank you, Jennifer. Thanks a lot. Thank you.

So we got a rescue pup. Almost well, it's a little has it been a week ago? Tuesday. It'd been a week ago today. We brought him home a week ago today.

His name's Wick. We don't know what he is. He's like four months old, a little over four months old. And we think that he is like Part Rhodesian Ridge back part. Blackmouth curb part, who knows what, and something else.

We don't know. He is so scary smart. But my mom, who is retired now, she was like I was on the phone with her and she was telling me, I think I'm thinking about getting a dog 'cause we had a dog when I lived there, but when I left, they didn't get any more dogs. And my stepdad was just heartbroken after they lost their cocker spaniel, like heartbroken. He couldn't even, you know, he did like a whole ceremony, buried the ashes of the dog and at the base of the tree in the front yard.

It was like a big thing. Anyway, I was telling, you know, talking to my mom about Wick, and she was like, Yeah, I'm thinking about getting a dog. And I'm like, Well, you're going to, you know, you'll, the road where they live off of now is, you know, a lot more populated. It's not really, really rural anymore. Like when I lived there, I was out in the country.

Now, like they got subdivisions popping up, and I'm like, Yeah, you'll probably need a fence because the road you live off of is a lot busier now. She's like, No. Like, he can't just get a dog and let it run out of the road. I'm like, mom, times are different. It's not.

Like that, and you got to consider, you know, the liability that you would have if you just let a dog run away. Her. Response, God love her. Was to put some rocks in a milk jug and just chase the dog around the yard to keep it in the yard. I'm like, you're.

Huh. She's probably, I just forgot that she's retired, so she's probably watching this. And I'm going to get a sternly worded text now because I can't just say anything now because she's not at work. And so she can't. But I'm like, you can't do that.

You can't just put some rocks in a milk jug. But anyway, we were talking about Kane eats like river moss now. And what? He, we, I was like, you, you, some of the stuff you say makes me think of my mom. And he mentioned persimmon seeds.

And my mom is like a huge believer in persimmon seeds. And she's always like, check your almanac. I'm like, I don't have an almanac. And she's like, what? You just look on the internet.

But you're. It's legit. It's all legit. The almanac. Do you still grow your bacteria tea?

The persimmon. I haven't done it in a while. I've done Water Kiefer and I've done Kumbu. You literally have a whole thing of anime characters that you raise. What?

Like, yeah, little bacteria blobs. No. And now you're. Yeah, SCOBI's are created when I do it. It's named.

Yeah. Is that its name or is that what it's called? I don't name them. That's what it's called. It's an acronym.

For what? Twist! It's a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yellow. Oh my gosh, he actually knows. That's what it is.

It's SCOBY. I knew that you knew that.

Okay, I was wondering about that. I was like, somebody just named it SCOBOB. But yeah, so I was just asking you: how's your minerals? I'm dealing with allergies. I don't know if y'all can tell.

Dealing with like cra I've I've been dealing with allergies. And he was like, Do you check your mineral levels? I don't even know how one checks their mineral levels. There's many forms of magnesium, right? You're not getting enough of that.

We clearly don't get enough potassium throughout the day. That's definitely a thing. That's a thing.

So I was just like, well, I take my concern. And then you're like, you sound like my mom. And then he's like, I can't. I'm like, that's not an insult every day. That's not an insult at all.

Like, you're the valedictorian of healthy eating, Kane. You win right there. Give you your metal and your core. Give me salutatory and make it. It's hysterical.

It cracks me up.

So you're going to probably have to do like a side thing on. Subsec of all the Stuff like your moss and your other stuff. Am I taking up all your time? I am. I'm so sorry.

Today's too picky. That's all right. We can play Cut 20. I think we might have really quick time to play that. Yeah, do it.

Do it. Do it do another time? First of all, President Biden is a heroic American, patriotic American, great American made of self-love. That's all I need to hear. That's it.

That's all I need to hear. Yeah, that's it. He's like a great, heroic, patriotic American, heroic American, patriotic. No Hakeem Jeffries. All right, folks, that does it for us today.
