Thursday August 8 - Full Show

Yeah. Because while I our economy is doing well Well, by many measures. Prices for every Everyday things like groceries are still too high. You know it and I know it. You know, when I was Attorney General, I went after price-fixing schemes.

And when I am Madam President, it will be a day one priority. to fight to bring down prices. I will take On big corporations that engage in illegal price gouging. I will take on corporate landlords that unfairly raise rents on working families. I will take on big pharma and cap the cost of prescription drugs for all Americans.

So, my question is: why doesn't she do any of this now? Why does she want to wait and do all of this? I mean, you know. It's almost like she, if she were vice president. Oh, wait.

She is vice president. of the United States. I mean, she could do so. I mean, what the hell has she been doing if she's been in office this entire time and she hasn't done this? You know, then what has she been doing this entire time?

This was from her. This is last night. Where was this rally at? They were all in Philly, right? Yeah.

Yeah, they were all in Philly last night, so this was her rally last night. And Uh well hers and Harris Walz's. Rally. They've been, they're going on this, what is it, like a seven state tour? She and What's His Face.

Uh the uh Guy whose wife loves to smell stuff burning. They are going on this tour, and I don't know. Like, I. I feel we're going to get into a lot of this here coming up because I have a big giant warning for you on the right. Because I see a lot of mistakes being made.

I've been talking about this for weeks and actually, months and months. Actually, every election cycle I talk about. the Republicans ground game. I've been doing this since Well, talking about it specifically since I watched them foobar it really, really bad in 2012. And I'm seeing them make a lot of the same mistakes again.

And we have to talk about it, especially if you are really interested in winning. As I think all of us nobody wants to have to we don't want wars and high taxes and all this other stuff, but we're going to have all of these things if we don't get this A course correction with the campaigning because the polls aren't good and the polls aren't wrong. And I need people to stop thinking that only believing the polls when they show things that cherry pick what their beliefs are. And it's not being mean to state this stuff. I think it's mean when we ignore opportunities for course correction.

So welcome to the program. Dana Lash here with you. We're at the top of this first hour. And Trump is. Looking at my uh his presser is 2 p.m.

So that's 2 p.m. Eastern, 1 p.m. Central today. He's having a press conference. From Mar-a Lago.

And that's going to be at 1 p.m. Do we know what he's talking about yet? I mean, obviously, it's going to be about Harris Walls, but. Do we know what he's actually talking about yet? I think they're gonna They're going to focus on them talking to the press while Harris Walls.

Do not. Because that was smart for J.D. Vance to do. I need Trump not to stay at Mar-a-Lago all the time. Mm.

Guys JD Vance has been running around these past few days. Trump just can't have these things on the weekend and then stay at Mar-a-Lago. We can't be doing this, okay?

Okay, guys, we got it. He's got to be out there. It's going to take more than that, and it's going to take a Republican ground game, but we're going to talk more about that coming up.

So he's having a presser at 1 p.m. Biden is apparently coming out of his hidey hole. He's doing, isn't he hosting this event for like the Rangers or something today? Yes.

Okay, Texas Rangers. Uh no Harris press conference yet.

Okay, none of that. Uh no Harris press conference, but we have been promised joy. Have we not? Where's this audio sound bite at? I tweeted about it last night because nothing to me.

Now, remember, first off, Do we have the, and this one I didn't specifically call for, do we have the audio soundbite of him? uh calling for joy. Or him saying that Kamala was a joyful, yeah, joyful candidate. This is audience.

Okay, first off. I need to play this for you. This is Audio Sunbite 11. This is from last. This is from Night Before Last, and then I'm going to play you on from last night.

So, this is 11. This is Tim Walls talking about joy. All the things that make me mad about those other guys and all the things they do wrong, the one thing that I will not forgive them for is their try to steal the joy from this country. They try and steal the joy. But you know what?

You know what? Our next president brings the joy. She emanates the joy. Emanates the joy, you guys. She just is out there emanating joy and stuff, and you know.

I um didn't he he like yelled at people I think from most of his press conference and I had tweeted about this Because I had said it's you know I mean He's nothing says joy like an angry old man. accused by vets of stealing valor, yelling at rally goers about stealing stuff. You know, I mean, it that sounds joyful.

So, I don't know. I mean, they and they've apparently been showing AI images of her rally to make it look like it's way more packed than it is, which is so weird. Can I just go back to the audio sumbite we came in with? I mean She Was the president is the president of the Senate? Why does she act like she has no Should be the tiebreaker.

Yeah, she's the tiebreaker for the Senate. It doesn't make any sense.

So the. Stolen Valor story is really hurting. Tim Walls and is enraging, absolutely enraging Democrats. enraging.

So he launched his first congressional campaign as literally a veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom. And He has allowed himself to be identified, and in certain aspects, identified himself. As having like served in Afghanistan. And that's what a lot of people are talking about. He's been very cagey with his language when he thinks he can get caught.

but he's never corrected anyone identifying him. As a combat vet. And he has never at all Uh ever Given the indication that he wasn't in Afghanistan. He's never said that he was in Italy. He's never said any of this stuff.

There's, I know, it's a little, so this is, it's hurting him. it's hurting him with uh with independents and moderates. And that's ultimately, that's who matters with us because Democrats don't care. I mean, Democrats allowed, they defended a guy who left a woman to die in a car in a pond. You know, Teddy Kennedy left a chick to dine upon.

So they don't care. They don't give a rat's ass. But this stolen valor story is really hurting walls with moderates and independents. And more and more people are coming forward. The National Guard has disputed his military biography.

People that he has served with have disputed how he has characterized. his service because he literally is pictured at his own campaign events. Holding signs identifying himself as an Operation Enduring Freedom veteran. and saying that he served in Afghanistan for per the Free Beacon, even though he never served in Afghanistan. Remember, the moment that he realized that they were going to be deployed, he left.

And some of his defenders are like, well, he had the right to leave. That's not what the issue is, you absolute loons. The issue is that he's lied about where he served. This isn't an issue of whether he could leave or not. It's about whether he lied.

And it's kind of cowardly to leave the moment you're going to get called up.

So we're going to talk to Kurt Schlichter about that here coming up. The stolen valor story is hurting. Media is struggling to contain it.

So, we got a couple of sound bites here. The media is struggling to contain this because they don't. I mean, he's been telling people that he's carried weapons in war, and he's never been to war. He's never been to any of that. Uh there is some of this.

This is uh let's see audio sound what there's Is it six? Yes.

So this is ABC. They are struggling to contain this. Listen. Wall served in the Army National Guard for 24 years and has never claimed to have seen active combat, despite those comments that he carried a gun in war. He retired honorably in 2005 to run for Congress as the crisis in Iraq was growing.

Even though he keeps saying over and over again that he carried a gun in war, he carried a gun in war. I mean, we have some audio of him saying that he's carried a gun in war and holding signs that say that he was Uh In Afghanistan, and that he was of, I mean, that's problematic, and it's becoming very problematic for Democrats, and the media is struggling to contain it. Definitely, there are a couple of you heard that from ABC. They also, so Bloomberg. They edited one of the pieces that they had.

To swap out because they said he had served in Iraq. Let me pull this up. Jordan Satchell caught this. It said that he had recently returned from serving in Iraq as part of Operation Enduring Freedom. And then, without any note of correction, They They surreptitiously changed their article saying he recently returned from serving in Italy.

So the media has been trying to retcon stuff. He launched his political career, Tim Walsted. on the basis of everyone thinking that he was a combat veteran. And he literally said that he, after fighting in Iraq, he ran for office. He has said this.

uh in numerous interviews. He's been at you know campaign events where he said this stuff. And you have CNN too. CNN is even struggling. They're trying to figure out audio somebody too.

Listen to this, they're trying to figure out how to deal with this. Waltz did make a comment speaking to a group, he's done it a couple of times, where he has used language that has suggested that he carried weapons in a fighting situation. As you know with your contact with the military, I know from coming from a military family, there is a difference between being in a combat area Being involved at a time of war and actually being in a position where people are shooting at you. There is no evidence that at any time Governor Waltz was in a position of being shot at, and some of his language could easily be seen to suggest that he was.

So that is absolutely false when he said that about gun rights out there. He was pushing the vagary, the purposeful vagary. That's what he was doing. He was being vague on purpose, for the purpose specifically of being vague. And we've got more on this coming up.

Also, the issue of China. I don't know who honeymoons in China. I think this guy's bought and sold and influenced by China. He's been there, what, over 30 times. He honeymooned in China.

China's paid for a lot of his trips over there. We're going to talk about that here coming up because that's a serious consideration. Speaking of being influenced, Hunter Biden was hired by a Romanian oligarch to influence the U.S. government, according to special counsel. David Weiss's office is arguing that Gabrielle Uh Gabriel Popovichu.

Hired Hunter Biden because he wanted to attempt to influence government agencies, according to court filings that were released yesterday evening. In 2015, this Romanian real estate tycoon hired Hunter Biden as he faced the loss of business assets over a Romanian criminal corruption case per prosecution.

Now, bank records show Hunter Biden and his business associates received at least $3 million from this guy for over the next two years. House Oversight Committee James Comer, and this is per Washington Examiner, said that the Biden family's influence peddling schemes in Romania were laid out by them in May of last year. They were getting money all over the place. To influence policy here in the U.S., the Romanian, and I mean, he was very open about this. He wanted to catch the eye of US government agencies, and he specifically was hoping that the US government would, quote, investigate the Romanian criminal investigation into him and actually end it.

He he didn't want this investigation into him.

So And this is crazy.

All right, so first up here. The, well, let me pull this up and bear with me because I'm having a little bit of an issue. You, I don't know if you guys have seen this video. This is insane. The Mega Yacht, have you guys seen this Mega Yacht collision?

It was off the coast of Naples, so Steve Jobs is... Widow was, I don't think she was driving this yacht, although I could make jokes. Jokes, it's a $140 million yacht. It smashed. Into this other yacht that was owned by this Mexican telecom billionaire.

Now, there's an argument over how deep the Mexican telecom billionaire's yacht was anchored, right? And they're saying that, I mean, you can hear the crew scream, it ran right into it. And so it was the Lady Mora, which is owned by the Mexican billionaire, and then Venus, which is owned by Lorraine Jobs. They were saying that the Lady Mora. was not anchored properly, it was anchored too deep.

And that it was the one that was actually like veering into. The Venus.

So there was like a scratch. It's gonna be super expensive. The Mexican billionaire just kind of laughed it off. It was like, yeah, it's gonna take more than a few iPhones to fix it. But still, like, Control your damn mega yacht, which is a sentence that I actually didn't think I would ever say.

On this show, right? I mean, I'm watching this and I'm getting sick. I watched this video like four times yesterday. I watched it again this morning, and it makes me sick to watch it. You can see it coming, and you're like, oh my, that's so the one that Juan is showing you on the simulcast, I think that's ugly as sin.

That's that's the jobs mega yacht, and the little ball at the front shows that it's anchored.

So they're saying that the lady Mora, the Mexican business guy, his is the one that like drifted into hers. I don't know. It's all from the perspective of the crew on the Lady Mora, so we'll see. But I mean, you wanna, I've never seen anything that is more of a first world problem than that. That's all I gotta say.

Uh chemical substances. That This is coming from ABC and well, ABC News, chemical substances, all kinds of terror ingredients had been found. This 19-year-old terror suspect that was going to apparently bomb the Taylor Swift concert was going to look to kill himself and as many people as possible. They found all kinds of explosive ingredients in the house of two people, and one of the homes of the two people who are suspected. They were planning these attacks on Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna, and they were inspired apparently about Al-Qaeda and ISIS.

One of them is a 19-year-old Austrian citizen who fully confessed, according to the head of Austrian security. Over 90% of U.S. population growth since 2020 came from Hispanics. According to new numbers, MSN has reported this. They said the Hispanic population grew by 3.2 million in the beginning of the pandemic to mid-23, making up 91% of the country's overall gain.

The U.S. population increased by 3.4 million over that period as well. I swear to you, GOP needs to be ready. Registering people at the border. Paper straws are often touted as a great alternative, but they're toxic.

Of course, they are. I have to tell you, I got straws that are made from cornstarch and they're like plastic. They're just as good as plastic, but they're not the crappy, you know, paper straws.

So we got a lot more coming up. The ground game. The GOP are being outmaneuvered, outgunned, out-fundraised in battleground states. I got some, we got a wake-up call. We got to hit next.

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

Now, I myself regularly conceal carry a nine millimeter.

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

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

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

Gun-free isn't applicable to Burna. It's great for wherever guns are banned. Visit Burna.com/slash Dana for 10% off. That's B-Y-R-N-A.com/slash Dana. Make some common sense of the crazy headlines with the Dana Show Podcast.

Otherwise, I'm speaking. Oh. That's that joy that they were talking about. She's got that joy, joy, joy, joy down in her heart. Where?

That is. her heart where This is joyful. She's a joyful lady. That was uh. Vice President Kamala Harris.

Who should I well? I will say. The Hamas wing of her supporters came in and were like, boo. And she was like, What? I didn't pick a Jewish running mate.

Why are you booing me? She didn't say that, but that was kind of the gist of it, you know. And uh so that that's what ended up happening. That's what that's what ended up happening.

So they they yeah, they And then she was trying to correct them because You know, she's like, Is that how you went Trump to win? They don't care. Can I also touch on the camo hat real quick?

So, this briefly was a big thing last night, briefly. Because they're trying so hard. One of my favorite things ever is to try. They are. Trying to Make it Make Tim Walls look like, well, I'm a hunter.

I mean, he's a FUD. This is the FUDS thing. This is the FUDDE hat ever. Just put FUD on it. Just get the hat and put FUD on it.

So they started selling these camo hats last night, right? And that's Real Tree. Yes, that's Real Tree up there.

Now the real tree people do not support Harris Waltz. And did we reach out to the real tree people? They don't even like to get political, which, sorry, Slick, whether you want to get political or not, it is getting political on you.

So Let me explain real quick because people were assuming that Realtree was sponsoring them, and Realtree was like, oh, hell no, we're not sponsoring Harris Walls.

So the Real tree camo pattern itself is like copyrighted or trademarked. And uh you guys know how ASCAP works, right?

So this is one of the reasons why, for instance, we don't play the music that I wanna play on the simulcast because it goes online and that's a whole other license and because it's like in perpetuity, it's it's super expensive.

So ASCAP is like the licensing system for music. Musicians, artists, bands, et cetera, they can write an original work and then they can choose to license that work out to be used by people who pay a fee to ASCAP and then they can use the music. That's what radio stations and broadcasts do. That's why we can play a lot, whatever we want radio-wise, because our radio affiliates across the country, they work with ASCAP. And so there's a fee for that.

There's a separate fee for TV. That's why you always hear people joke about how expensive it is to play like however many seconds of like Rolling Stones apparently are the most expensive and ASCAP for TV. At least that's how it used to be. Uh, and then very expensive digitally as well.

So, anyway, with with they these people they write an original work and then they can choose to license it through ASCAP. And then, as cap, uh, if you pay the fee, you can use it for whatever. That's why, with when you have a lot of these political rallies, a lot of these people pay ASCAP fees, and so the artists can't really bitch and moan if they dislike you know, Trump using one of their songs because they chose to license it out. And that person can choose to use after they pay the licensing fee, they can choose to use it however they at rallies. You know, there's a there's a limitation in its usage, but playing it at a rally.

You know, for like an entertainment purpose, you know, that's kind of what it's meant for.

So, anyway, long story short, it's very, very similar to what Realtree did with the pattern on their hat. They chose to license it out, meaning different stores, different companies can then purchase the licensing to use it for, you know, they can embroider something over it or whatever. And that's what the Harris Waltz campaign did.

So they got these Realtree hats and then they put FUD on them. I'm sorry, Harris walls on them. That's what they did. Giant FUD is what they should just put on it. And then they're like, look, Tim Walls is a hunter.

Look, we got camo. We got camo hats too. They're trying to make him such a big deal. This is the guy. Do we have the audio where he was like, I carried a gun and a weapon of war in war?

I know we. Is it four? Is it four? We have audio it's audio sound by four thousand, please. Thank you.

Hope woke up like many of you did five weeks ago and said, Dad, you're the only person I know who's in elected office. You need to stop what's happening with this. I'll take my kick in the butt for the NRA. I spent 25 years in the Army and I hunt. And I gave the money back.

And I'll tell you what I have been doing. I've been voting for common sense legislation that protects the Second Amendment, but we can do background checks. We can do CDC research. We can make sure we don't have reciprocal carry amongst states. And we can make sure that those weapons of war that I carried in war is the only place where those are.

And that's where he's a big fucking liar.

So he gets all the heat. Don't sit here and be like, well, Dana, you know, he was, shut up. I don't care who you are, shut up. He's telling everyone, and that's one video of a ton. Where he's telling everyone, I carried weapons of war and weapon in war.

He's telling everyone he was in war and he carried weapons of war. He was lying about his service to bolster. his credibility in undermining your Second Amendment rights. What an absolute fud I care you didn't you didn't care first off, you didn't carry an AR-15, you damn FUD. You didn't go to battle, you weren't in combat, and you didn't carry no damn AR-15 in combat.

You absolute fud Golly, you drunk socialist fud. Yeah, I went out there and I carried a 2-2-3. I was out there in combat or a third turtle. There's tons of video of this guy saying this all over the place. Yeah, I carried a weapon of war in war.

And he's trying to trade on that. Like, I know what war is, and I know what weapons of war are, and I'm the expert.

So he can turn around and go, oh, well, did you serve in war? You didn't? Oh. Guess your opinion's invalid here, you know, which is exactly why we came, as you remember, we had the Revolutionary War, because we wanted to make sure we were subservient to an ever-present military and a monarch. I mean this is this is This is why this is so bad on him in so many ways, but that's why he did it.

He did it because of that. Let's save that audio soundbite literally forever. Just make sure, just put it in perpetuity on the show. Daily, here on out.

Now There's more because we got a lot of flashback audio balls, which we're going to get into. But let me tell you something: as dumb as this FUD is. The GOP are being outmaneuvered. They're being outmaneuvered. They are being uh out Fundraised.

And they are being Uh Outgunned really. Uh in a lot of these battleground states. And this is a problem. And I don't think a lot of people are paying attention to this. It's a problem because I mean you're in Florida it Florida is the only place it's not because the and and even really so much in in Georgia.

Because Georgia has done a really good job of registering Republicans. And Also, Florida, the Florida GOP have a great get out the vote. A mechanism, and they've been I mean, they've done a really good job, really good job at this. But here's the problem. Though.

Um There's not, the RNC has been outsourcing a lot of the ground game. And to entities that really don't have any experience with this kind of ground game. And They've been, they fell behind in making staffing up their field offices. This is something I've been talking about since Iowa, by the way. It's been a big issue.

And They I think that the RNC right now needs to do a pulse check. Because you have in approximately five weeks, people in Pennsylvania are going to start casting their votes for early voting. And he is tied with Kamala Harris. In Pennsylvania. This is one of the reasons why I hate early voting to this extent.

If you're a college kid or if you're military, something I understand early voting in some instances. I think it should be a national holiday.

However, I think where there exists Opportunities to just stuff it that Republicans ought to be out there doing it until Democrats eliminate it because they got outplayed. The Issue in Pennsylvania. I think one of the reasons you haven't seen Kamala Harris very much is because she's doing the Joe Biden approach. They're trying to keep her away from the press because she's just bad in front of the press. And I mentioned this yesterday.

Uh And they're going to do this until early voting starts, I think. And I don't know what is going on in the Trump campaign, but they need to get back on it. J.D. Vance has been going out there doing a lot of stuff, but Trump has been going off on Truth Social about Georgia and about this and about that. He has not been his like happy warrior, the candidate that people respond to.

He needs to go back to that. He needs to not be the guy who is bidging on Truth Social about Georgia and Georgia Republicans or about other Republicans that he doesn't like. We don't have time for that now. Five weeks early voting starts and he's literally tied with Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania. And Trump has to win Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania is part of that famed blue wall, which we've talked about. It's where you have like 18 states that's been that was a phrase that was coined back in like 08, 09, that's been a number of states, including Michigan, Wisconsin, et cetera. And that's always been a reliable firewall for Democrats. Trump did bust through it back in 2016. He fell short in 2020.

Now he's tied here in 2024. And going after your own side over stuff that can wait is not the way to do it. Again, this is a game of Sun Tzu strategy. And if people aren't up to snuff to do Sun Tzu, then get out of the game because we're playing to win right now. This is the last exit off the highway, y'all.

We have to have unity, and we can't have people go and fight over all this stuff after we've won. But it is too close to be doing it now. I want to know what's happening with the RNC. I want to know why it seems like Scott Pressler is the only one out there. Like Scott Pressler, I think, helped flip Bucks County.

But that's about it. I mean, he's one guy. You need a ton of him. You needed a lot more Scott Presslers. And this is the thing we're looking at right now.

You got the media that's keeping Kamala Harris sheltered. They don't know how to really deal with the issue of Tim Walls. And you've I mean I'm looking at a lot I mean Let me give you an example here. I'm looking at some of this data.

So a new national poll. This came out this morning. One of the polls that I'm looking at was oversample Democrats plus three and the independents and Moderates were plus nine, and so I don't know if that's a necessarily reliable poll. I think that's the Marquette one. But even with that, even adjusting for that, the margin of error, they're still like one point apart.

Uh, so we, I mean, you got to consider all this stuff. This new national poll that is out. It found that third party candidates actually that was the RAS Mussen poll. The RAS Mussen poll oversampled Democrats plus three. But still, even with the margin of error, they're within a point of each other.

Marquette has a new survey out. They, when you add third-party candidates, Harris goes up plus eight. She's plus five with Trump. Sans third-party candidates like RFK and Colonel West, when you add third-party candidates in, she's plus eight. And that's interesting because those are the, what have I said?

Elections are determined in the margins. Those are the margins right there.

So the people, when there's an RFK in there, they go to Ward's RFK, and it's not Harris that's losing, it's Trump that's losing. At least that's the latest Marquette measure. And that's only oversampled Democrats by like plus one and a half.

So it's, I think it's kind of a smaller sample size, but it's not a totally unreliable survey. This is stuff that we got to consider. She's in looking at the Rasmussen poll as well. And like I said, I think.

So Rasmussen divides people, but he's got Harris 48, Trump 45, and this was a small survey. It's 800 registered voters. And I still think that it's. When you look at the uh They there wasn't a breakdown for education. It looks like it was.

Again, it was like only what 9% of these were independent. And it was plus three. It's not a huge oversample, but it was a plus three Democrat. The reason I'm breaking all of this out. Is that even when you factor in all of those, they're literally tied within a point?

That's insane. That is insane. And this is not, even though it's a small survey size, I keep telling you guys survey after survey after survey.

Now, in 2020, the polls were not wrong. I feel like I was one of the few people on air that wasn't blowing smoke up your backsides, not because I wanted to keep you in a state of agitation, but because I didn't want you to feel as though this was a done deal and you could rely on this narrative of a red wave. The surveys were not wrong in 2020. In fact, you can go back, you can go back and look at the RCP averages for the election for 2020, and what you will see is pretty reflective. The RNC has got to get it together.

They are behind. They are getting outmaneuvered. In some of these battleground states, Democrats are out there registering people two to one. I already warned you about the ad buys. They have been buying up all the media time in all these states.

They have been flooding the airwaves with ads. Where is the RNC in this? You cannot outsource stuff to third-party entities that don't have a record, especially in one of the most contested electoral cycles that we have ever seen when it is so close and everything is on the line. You cannot outsource this groundwork to third-party entities that have zero previous record of ever doing any kind of groundwork or campaigning or outreach. We cannot be doing that right now.

So, the RNC needs to get on the ball. Like I've said, this election is the Republicans to lose.

So, we can sit here and talk about Tim Wallace's stolen valor, and we can sit here and talk about how you're going to be just destroyed by taxes and how we'll probably end up in a World War III. And yes, they are going to try to pass some unconstitutional gun control stuff. That is a guarantee. And we can warn, and we can talk, and we can mock and do all of this stuff, but none of it matters if the RNC doesn't get it together. And as of right now, they haven't.

Yo. Uh Camila Hiris! Stop hitting my team, you and the Secret Service, to do a stream. I am not doing a stream with any politicians, bro. Yo, Secret Service, stop hitting my f ⁇ ing team.

I'm not doing any stream, bro. Stop.

So Harris has been trying to buy influencers and streamers and all of this stuff and It is not working out. It's not working out for her because it's, um, Well, nobody wants to do it, and it's cringe. It's really cringe. It just looks bad. And they're, but they're offering a lot of money.

So, the ones that you see that are doing them, I'm wondering how much they're getting paid. Because that's the new campaign ad. It's not anything of substance. It was not anything of... Uh policy.

They just want to trade influence. If I can have somebody talk to me on their stream, if I can have them do a video about me on TikTok, like to a remixed. you know, drop a beat and add my like a remix of one of my speeches over it. That's that's all it is. It's cra it's just crazy.

It's that's And they're being called out over it. They're being called out over it. But this is part of the strategy. RNC has got to consider this. You know that there's no Trump campaign ads in Minnesota?

There's none? We're going to talk about that more coming up. We've got a lot on the way. Stick with the second hour. Our partners over at Black Rifle Coffee, the best coffee that you can drink, and you can save 20% using Code Dana if you're a drinker, coffee drinker, like many of us.

There's no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech, and especially around our democracy. Hm Well, that's Tim Walls right there. Who is the vice presidential candidate on the Democrat side talking about who he doesn't really care about your thoughts on free speech?

Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you, top of the second hour. And you can watch us coast to coast. You probably are if you're seeing me. This simulcast of the radio program, Channel 347 Direct TV.

Also, Rumble is where the discussion happens. It's where everybody hangs out. It's Rumble. And then also, the simulcast is on X too.

So lots of places to watch it. He's The cr the funny thing about free speech is that It was more designed to protect the speech you dislike than the speech that you like.

So everything that he is just, that he just said there is a complete and total. That's not how free speech in these United States works.

Now, that was flashback audio, but not that far ago. I mean, I wasn't It really wasn't that much of a flashback. And When you consider some of the stuff that's been happening overseas, which we've talked about, people who, you know, the police will visit.

Someone, if they like the 14-year-old girl who was on the autism spectrum, who, you know, she has a lesbian grandmother and who has short hair. And she noticed that this cop had, this female cop had short hair.

So she said the cop was a lesbian, and the police shut up and they were gonna arrest her because they said it was hate speech. And we're all like, what? Uh I mean it is There's no free speech over there. Our friend Vegas Larry noted that Cheshire Police over in Britain, because they've been having all of these riots, due to the absolute, you know. Katie bar the door, all immigration, illegal or otherwise, is completely allowable.

And they've seen an increase in crime. Women have been targeted. You know, they've had kids killed. It's been a discussion. And now there was a woman who had shared a social media post that contained inaccurate information about the identity of the attacker in the Southport murders.

So they arrested a 55-year-old woman because she shared something on social media and they said, Oh, you're inciting. They're harder on their own citizens than they are the people who come over to murder their citizens. And you wonder why people are out in the streets rioting. That's a little idea of what's to come with somebody like Tim Walls. This guy is so far left.

And he's never, we talked yesterday how he's never performed well at all with rural voters. The other thing, too. He pushed to close Gitmo and house terrorists in the United States when he was congressman. I don't know if people realize this. The Washington Free Beacon noted that he really pushed hard to close Gitmo, and he wanted all of the terrorists in Gitmo to.

moved to and be held in the United States. And He was actually to the left of like Everybody from Amy Klobuchar and all kinds, he said that it was a quote, serious obstacle to peace in the Middle East. He thought that Gitmo was mean. He went on a fact-finding trip to the Middle East. He was fair I mean, that's Very, very left.

Very left.

So I mean, I don't know. And he also has. A very interesting background. With China I mean, this was after. Didn't he get married on the anniversary of.

Uh Tiananmen Square. That's what I thought. And then he went on honeymooned. in the nineties in China. He's been to China.

I don't know how many times China's paid for a lot of his travel over there per reports. He was in China to teach English and U.S. history literally in 1989, the year of the Tiananmen Square. And uh he's been to China over thirty times. And he got married on the date of the Tiananmen Square.

Massacre. June fourth. Any honeymooned in China? And His whole take on questions about it is, well, we don't have to be adversarial with them.

Well, you again, you don't have to be adversarial to them, but whether you will it or not, they are adversarial to you. And there's just a lot of questions as to his closeness. We are already dealing with this with the Bidens.

So this is more baggage that this guy brings. to the table. He also doesn't own any property. He owns. I don't think you have to own stocks or anything like that, but I do question.

If you don't or have never owned property, And the only thing that they live in is the governor's mansion, and that's owned by the people.

So, I mean, he really doesn't even pay rent. How are you making decisions about people's property and people's livelihoods when you don't even pay rent? You're just in the governor's mansion. You don't even own any property. You don't.

Is that weird? Am I being too harsh, Kane, on that? No. I don't think so. In addition, I'm just going over some of the stuff that we know.

Other than the stolen valor, which keeps getting worse and worse. He also wanted free college, and this is per campus reform for people who entered illegally. People who entered the country illegally. He signed a bill into law just last year that allowed for those who entered illegally to get free college tuition within Minnesota State and the University of Minnesota systems. Oh, there you go.

Wow. It made them eligible to receive free tuition at schools, free being the operative word. Because what does that mean typically? It means that it's taxpayer funded. Money comes from somewhere.

People are gonna get their gonna get their checks. It comes from somewhere. This is on top of him signing the law that allowed the state to intervene. If parents did not affirm their young children's desire to Uh have uh Experimental. mutilation surgery.

healthy kids, they wanted if they wanted to sew themselves up or cut something off of their genitals and if they and if the parents did not affirm the they could be as young as seven or eight. If the parents didn't affirm doesn't affirm the kids desires, then the state could intervene and take custody. He signed that. I mean it is about as far left as you can get. In fact, I mean, farther to the left even than Bernie Sanders, which is wild, but this is the new Democrat Party.

This is who they are. And this is why it's so incredibly important to beat them. I mean, I was telling you guys a little earlier about the importance of making sure you have a ground game. You realize the Harris campaign is absolutely flush with cash. and they are paying people to go out and register voters.

The Trump camp from the last I heard did not have a media buy strategy for states like Minnesota or states like Pennsylvania. I've seen some ads, but they need a grander strategy. I've also seen there's no field offices in swing states. I know for a fact that Trump waited, like in Iowa, for instance, they didn't have swings, they didn't have field offices until like the last minute. They have the RNC has been behind the entire time.

They campaign, it's not just the RNC either. The campaign has been behind. I say this as somebody who wants to win because I am not exaggerating with you guys at all. And let me be clear. completely super serious for a moment.

A loss in November Memes Massive taxes. You are going to see job losses unlike anything that you have ever seen because the economy is going to be utterly destroyed. what you saw With the market dive was just a taste. This is not hyperbole, it is not exaggeration, it is following Democrat policy through to the conclusion. They have said that they want to raise taxes, capital gains, they want to raise taxes, everybody.

They want more government spending. Because, see, the issue to them isn't less government spending, it's that you're not giving enough of your money in taxes. That's the issue. This is all the stuff that we're going to see. I promise you.

They will pass either. A way to establish a national gun registry. Or And they could as they could uh we could have a red national red flag law. And we came very close to having that after Parkland, by the way. They will do some kind of executive order with assault weapons.

That is going to happen. One of those three, or all three, I promise you, that will happen. That is a guarantee. You'll see complete instability as it pertains to foreign policy. Harris was already it let it got let loose that she was uh considering an arms embargo.

For Israel. Our only ally over there. that's been fighting Iran, who hates us and would totally destroy us. Can you imagine what the end we'll have World War III? And your kids are going to get drafted and your grandkids will be drafted.

And I say drafted because Democrats love the draft. Back after 9-11, Chuck Schumer wanted to bring such a bill out of committee. He wanted to see a bill like that come out of committee. I remember because I was writing about politics at the time. And I wrote about it.

It was a bill that they were, that he was, he was, he and other Democrats at the time were very eagerly. They wanted because they thought that we needed a draft. You won't have a choice in whether or not you hug your son goodbye. and send them off to serve under someone like Lloyd Austin. or General Milley.

or some pencil pusher that's never served in combat. But he's had tons of DEI training, and he's going to make decisions that will affect whether or not your loved ones live or die. And it'll be a war that has no clear objective and no clear strategy, and it'll be Kabul all over again. That's what will happen. That's not hyperbole at all.

It's a guarantee. All of these things that you see with Biden-Harris on a little bit of a smaller scale, although no less disastrous. it will be on a much wider scale. if they get full run of things in November. I mean, that's just logic.

And this is why I'm pointing out all of the stuff. that the RNC and the Trump campaign are not doing correctly. It's not out of mean spiritedness. It's because, oh dear God, we've got to win in November. Five weeks.

And Pennsylvania goes to the goes to vote, early voting. We are looking at 80 some odd days. Until Election Day. We do not have time to worry about crypto coins. We do not have time to worry about fighting with Brian Kemp or whatever the hell other Republican in Georgia or other some other state.

It all has to be about policy, and we have to win. I don't care what fights they want to have. If you win, you can fight with whomever the hell you want to after. I don't care. But you gotta win first.

You gotta pay the cost to be the boss. And that bill comes due every four years. And you gotta pay by winning. You can fight with whomever you want to after you win. I don't care.

But right now, it is about winning in November. If I have to smile and play nice, with someone I don't like. Like I say there's a Republican that I think is a little weak on some stuff. I'm sorry, you don't agree with me on taxes all the way?

Okay. I mean, I could beat you to death right now just because of that, but that's all right. All right, that's all right. We're going to be friends right now. We're going to be friends right now.

We're going to get across the line in November. It's okay. Gotta do it, guys. You gotta suck it up and do it. That's what leadership is.

And you got to lead people to victory, and you got to lead by example, and it starts from the top. I'm done with all this other, all the other distractions. And, like I said, Everything that I just laid out of what will come to pass. That is why I am just, I'm, it's not out of mean spiritedness. It's because, oh my gosh, we've got to win in November.

I cannot be any more serious than I am right now.

So when I see that people don't have field offices in swing states, when I see that there's no clear ad buys, and we know who's purchasing what, my gosh, we're broadcasting. We know who's got ads on our affiliates. We know who's buying stuff on cable news because they make it public. There's literally a media website that you can go to and you can see who's purchasing what. We know, it's not like it's a secret.

This is not like secret information that only people in the media know. Or people who have radio shows no. It it's making me nervous. I'm being honest. And it's making a lot of other people nervous too.

So I need people in the campaign and the RNC to be serious. I you remember Scott Pressler telling y'all only 13%. actually said it ended up being more of that, of the rally goers in Harrisburg, were not registered to vote. Guys, they're a point apart in Pennsylvania. You see what I'm saying here?

We don't have time for anything else but this. It's decided in the margins. And we've got to win it in the margins, and that means everybody's got to get registered. And if If this doesn't change, I'm going to assume some people don't want to win. We got a lot more on the way.

So do you guys remember the story about those astronauts that are stuck on the ISS, the International Space Station? They're stranded due to Boeing's faulty Starliner and how it's like, it looks like they were going to be up there for a few more months.

Well, they got some really bad, bad, bad news. In fact, Sunday Williams and Butch Wilmore, who've already been trapped up there for more than two months, may not come back until February of 2025. They said that the contingency plan would launch a two-person crew on SpaceX's Crew 9 mission in September, but it wouldn't bring the crew home until months later. And they said that's, it's, I mean, that is just a disaster. Can you imagine you're being up there that long?

They said that it was thruster failures and helium links on the Starliner that prompted NASA and Boeing to keep them in orbit for longer because they feared a disaster.

So uh that's a nightmare. Can you imagine? Can you imagine? Oh my gosh, goodness. A woman opens a luxury hotel for rats.

Yeah. Sheenics okay, it's a British beach resort. that has a hotel for rats, the woman Leanne Bryden. 38 years old is offering beds to domesticated rods at Arlo's Radi Hotel where their owners are on holiday. She's kept rats since the age of six, so if they have a pet rat, They can go to her little hotel and they have, I can't believe someone did that.

Okay, well, you know, if she makes money, it's, you know, it takes all times. And let's see, CNET sold broadcasting, there's Axios layoffs. I really don't feel bad about any of those. We have a lot more on the way. Stick with us.

And he consistently told us, his fellow sergeant majors at the time, that he was going to, you know, go on the deployment. You could, as I remember him saying, you can count on us. And at the same time, having backroom conversations with Other people, other entities inside the Minnesota National Guard to ensure that he could retire. He subverted the chain of command. He went around the chain of command.

The brigade sergeant major had no clue. These are all important facts. And he did it to continually feather his own bed. That was the shameful part of it.

Well, and he's done it repeatedly over and over again to like bolster. His attacks on the Second Amendment. That was Command Sergeant Major Paul here, who came forward and Colin Rugg got this. He was on Fox News this morning. And he was, you know, kind of explaining this is where the rub comes in.

I want to play this quick soundbite here, also, just for more context. We played it last hour, but this is what we're talking about. He constantly says, and this is not the only video. He constantly says, Yes, I was in war and I know what weapons of war are and I was in combat. Listen to this.

This is what he says. There's tons of this stuff. Pope woke up like many of you did five weeks ago and said, Dad, you're the only person I know who's in elected office. You need to stop what's happening with this. I'll take my kick in the butt for the NRA.

I spent 25 years in the Army and I hunt. And I gave the money back. And I'll tell you what I have been doing. I've been voting for common sense legislation that protects the Second Amendment, but we can do background checks. We can do CDC research.

We can make sure we don't have reciprocal carry among states. And we can make sure that those weapons of war that I carried in war is the only place where those weapons are. There's so much of this video and audio of him saying, yes, I know. He's like trading on the claim that he saw combat. As a way to undermine like Second Amendment rights.

And I think also they're really trying, he's trying to inflate himself to, you know, for flyover. Joining us on this issue, and he's got, I've been reading his tweets on this. They've been very good. As you can imagine, our very good friend Kurt Schlichter, whose latest book, The Attack, is out. You should go and get it.

The link is on his bio for X or anywhere else. Kurt Schlichter on X, author, political columnist, commentator, trial lawyer, extraordinaire, retired colonel as well. Good to see you, sir. I appreciate it. I love your background.

You always are in the sunniest, best places. I love your office. But I wanted to kind of get your response to this because the cover-up sometimes is worse than the crime. And they keep going, oh, well, he like misspoke on this. I mean, that one audio clip that we just played, and there's tons of it out there, that doesn't sound like misspeaking to me.

No, it's not. Look, the only good thing I can say about Waltz is at least he's not a hypocrite because guys that went to war to defend our Constitution. Um you know You know, he's attacking our Constitution and Second Amendment, but you know, he didn't go to defend it.

So, you know, at least he's not being a complete hypocrite. He is a scumbag, though. I wrote that in town hall today. You just look at this guy and you just know who he is. If you've been in the military, you know who he is.

And from the officer perspective, he looks like every NCO who ever screwed over an officer by not supporting him and not doing his job. To great the great NCOs out there, and the NCOs are the backbone of the Army. He looks like the guy who makes him look bad, the weasel, the dude who sneaks around the chain of command and finds the easy assignment. Instead of the tough one, and a junior enlistee. He looks like the guy who really enjoyed being sergeant major and doesn't take care of the troops, doesn't act as their advocate, doesn't stand up to the general and says, Sir, you are wrong.

You are screwing over our soldiers and you need to stop. which is what a command sergeant major, which this guy is not. Although he was, he held the position in the rank temporarily. That's what a command sergeant major does. And I gotta tell you, Dana, I talk to a lot of vets.

You know, we have our, you know, I am my little kernel group. I talk to my, you know, I talk to NCOs, I talk to guys who did one tour. And um It's pretty much unanimous except for those vote vet turds. This guy is a disaster. I mean, you know, the only place he'd be fit to be a command sergeant major is, you know, in Colonel Vindman's battalion.

But of course, Colonel Vindman never got a battalion because he was a slug. Oh Yeah, well, and I wanted to point out: Kurt's got a great column about this in town hall. He says, and this right here, this is the sting. He goes, You know, he writes, You just know that Waltz being in the army checked a box for her. And Kurt, you're talking about Kamala Heroes here.

DEI hacks love checking boxes. And she didn't look any deeper than that. And no one around her did either. That's it. She thought, you dumb rubes, you're going to see a couple pictures of him strutting about in his very clean uniform.

The uniform I saw that was remarkably clean, even though it was set up for the field. And hey, look, the uniforms are supposed to be clean, it's a sergeant major, but you know. Yeah. Uh and um I just think she doesn't have any military people around her to tell her what's up. This is an example of what you were pointing out with him being like, you know, oh, I.

I've hunted. I was in a war. I'll tell you what guns you can't, can, and can't have. He dude, just because you're qualified marksman once doesn't make you an expert, and it certainly doesn't make you my boss or the arbiter of my God-given rights. And uh Yeah, and it's like, yeah, no, we're not doing this.

I think it was a terrible and cowardly pick. I think the obvious pick was Josh Shapiro, a guy who I don't agree with, but I think he is a competent politician. And he would have brought in a very important state competitive. And she didn't do it because he was Jewish. And because she knew Uh, he would overshadow her.

Is that where the Democrat Party is now? They actually were looking, talking with our friend Kirchlichter. Josh Shapiro being Jewish was more baggage to them than Tim Waltz and his DUI and lying about his service and brrrr the list. Tells you a lot about the Uh, it tells you a lot about the Democrats and a lot about Kamala Harris. I mean, she was in a tough position.

You know, she's got to find someone who's not capable of overshadowing her. And there aren't a lot of people like that.

Okay, that's that's Yeah, that's tough. She's got to go looking. She's got to be turned over some rocks. But she did turn over the Minnesota rock. I mean, You know, look, if you gotta nail down Mogadishu north.

For a Democrat, you're having trouble.

Okay, milk soda's This is not that, you know, if you've really got nailed down Minnesota. I think uh Look, I think Waltz is going to, I think she's going to stick with Waltz because, A, she can't admit failure. She can't pull an Eagleton like McGovern did. She can't substitute out someone else. I mean, holy cow.

And that's the thing. Do you think he's going to last through the convention? Because it seems like people are freaking out about it. And you know the Democrats are mad because they're getting mad at everyone who's pointing out his lies.

Okay. Oh, they're very mad. I've been uh Among other things, I've had people go, what? Like you were in the Army? A little bit.

Um But uh The thing is, he won't do it. First of all, she knows there's a, she has a sense there's something going on. But do you think she's listening to any source other than MSNBC, which is talking about how Waltz is this great dad? I think you and I and Chris and Irena have gotten together before. I may have told you the story.

When I deployed with my unit for 16 months, my girl was six months old. And she stayed with the Cuban family while I was gone for well over a year. And I got back, she was well over a year old. And when I got back, You know, unlike the super dad who stayed in Minnesota when I got home, my daughter called me Tio, which is uncle in Spanish. It would have been nice to have called dad.

But I didn't get that until later. Because I was out defending my country and my family. It's okay. I'm not complaining about that. I'm just showing you that there's a cost, and that if you lack character, you're going to give up your integrity to.

uh to do it. I you know, if he had a uh solid record. Um I would be Unhappy about it because that shows a lot of character. And I want him to lose the election. Uh but uh he has not shown character.

And we're going to call them out. is a disgrace to that. I refuse to have him. be the representative in the American people's minds of the amazing people I served with. I still can't believe they let me lead troops.

I don't know what the hell I was doing there because I was surrounded by heroes. Um And I mean, I had You know, I mean, I had literal heroes. I had people who were wounded. I had people who had been written about in books. I even had a commander who married that gangsters of Triskelly and Chicken the Bikini.

Oh. I mean, uh And to Lake Pettijohn. And he was just amazed. I mean, these guys are legends, even if no one's ever heard of them outside their units. And That's important.

And I feel like it's laying down. The guys who went before and the guys who are serving now, and gals, if we don't stand up and say this guy's wrong, he does not represent us. Yeah, we're talking with our good friend Kurt Schlichter. Do you think this is. Is this Who does this have an impact with?

I think, you know, I tend to think elections, you know, it's determined in the margins. And I hate to say it, but you know, Democrats are the party that they lionized a guy who literally let a woman drown in a pond. Is this going to hurt the moderates and independents that they're trying to? Is this going to affect their view of this? Because the diehard Democrats, are they actually going to.

like, regret this decision because of this? Um There are about 900,000 veterans in Phil in Pennsylvania. And the election was decided by 80,000 people. 90% of vets are going to look at this guy and go, no, just can't. You know, I mean, they are going to look at him and have a real problem.

This is something serious, and this is very organic. This was Veterans in Action. I know JD made some comments about it yesterday, but it's not like, you know, you know how sometimes people, when you're an influencer, sometimes people go, hey, can you talk about this? Can you talk about that? I didn't need that.

I was talking about long before anybody else started. Uh and and and uh Not saying I started, I was spontaneously, other people opt up. You know how people spontaneously organize. You were a big tea party person. And you know how Americans will jump into it and create a movement.

And there's a movement here. I put up a tweet of me, you know, just standing there essentially doing nothing, which is what I did in the war. I mean, look, I wasn't Audi Murphy either, okay, but I admit it. Um I ran a heavily armed car wash in Desert Storm, but I showed up and I put a picture of me and I said, Hey, here's a picture of me not being Tim Waltz. Put up your own picture.

And my gosh, you know, just looking through everywhere. It was like walk down memory lane. Yeah, it did. It was millions of impressions. And I'm just loving looking at the pictures because it just reminded me of the great people I served with, the great people who are still out there, and just this legacy of heroism.

uh and uh a service and uh you know I I got to stand up and be heard. And I think the veterans are going to stand up and be heard. I agreed. And I think, and you're right with this, this has been going on for a long time. Like, there's a video coming back from like 06, 07, 08, 09, where people have been criticizing him over stuff.

And so this has been happening for a while. Last question for you: our very good friend Kurt Schlichter, and you can find him on X at Kurt Schlichter.

So, Is this I dim walls salvage this or is it too late for him? What do you think? What does he do?

Well, look, I don't know if he'll be able to salvage it effect-wise, but he'll be s able to salvage it in the mind of him and Kamala Harris because he's surrounded by people telling him it's no problem. We're just going to get in there and talk about what transphobes all these events are. You know, they're all racist. They're racist against you, Tim. And they will believe it.

One of the weaknesses of our enemies is the fact they never have to get to know us. We have to know our opponents intimately. Which is, of course, a military thing. You want to know the enemy better, and the enemy knows himself.

Well, in fact, we do. They don't know us, they don't feel like they need to. That's how you get, well, he went hunting once. Show a picture of him with a duck and a dog. Uh then all the rooms will love them.

That's not how this works. But I don't particularly want to give them any coaching, but they're going to be in their echo chamber and think this is great. Like I say in my piece in town hall this morning, what you don't know can hurt you. Yeah. That's true.

And this is a great piece. Folks need to read it. And I'm going to make sure we send it out in the newsletter as well, the link to it. Our very good friend Kurt Schlichter. Kurt, we appreciate your service.

We appreciate your advocacy. And God love you. We, you know, just, I loved it, I was reading through your thread on that, like all the people that were responding. There were a thousand. It was amazing to read all of that and see all of these images.

I mean, it just makes you so proud of your country and the people you share it with.

Well, look, I served with great people. I didn't do anything important. You always say that. You always say that. You're always like, oh, I just ran a heavily armed car watch.

You know what, though? But you didn't know that you weren't doing it. You wouldn't, you didn't know. Anything could have happened. And you signed up for that, and you went and you showed up.

Now, if Walt has shown up and just said, hey, man, I got sent to Italy for a while and I did my thing. Everybody go, oh, okay. You know, somebody's got to go to Italy and somebody's got to go kill bin Laden. Yeah. Okay.

Somebody's got to wash trucks. In any case, looking forward to seeing you in Chris next. Yes, I know. I would look forward to it. He's going to be in Dallas, him and his lovely wife.

Give Irina the best from us, and we look forward to talking with you again. Thank you. Kurt Schlichter, everybody, go and get his book, The Attack. It's the latest. And of course, you know, if you don't have his Kelly Turnbull series, you can go and rectify that by getting it as well.

We have a lot to get into. I agree with Annie Oakley, who said, quote, I would like to see every woman know how to handle guns as naturally as they know how to handle babies.

Now, I myself regularly conceal carry a nine millimeter.

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

So, this is where Burna comes in. It's kind of like a starter weapon. It's they. make a non-firearm firearm. I like the idea of incredible force sending chemical irritants towards a threat as an additional option for women.

And the Burna SD model shoots chemical irritant projectiles, 68 caliber rounds, that can deter threats in their tracks up to 50 feet away. I mean, it is hard. Easy target acquisition, zero recoil. Burna is legal in all 50 states. There's no background checks, no permits required.

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

It's his life mission to make bad decisions. Yeah. It's time for Florida Man. We can't even show this video. And I really don't have any other information about it.

I mean, literally, if Juan showed it, it would just be a blur. A buck naked dude was in the middle of the road. uh doing somersaults. On the asphalt. Like And uh I there's no way we can there's no way we can actually play the the video, right?

I'm just watching. Yeah, I had to look at it. 'Cause I'm in pain. It's it it like looking at it. This he was somersaulting down uh The main road of the highway Completely nude.

It ended up, it was first discovered on Reddit.

Somebody, because that's where everybody goes, like, to. You know, immediately they go and they do that. Uh It's a one-man parade, and then they had the EMS behind him very slowly, driving behind him as he just like did somersaults. It's that was, I don't know anything else about it. That was just, I'm sure we'll have more later.

So bookmark that, you know, for when we were like, remember that naked Florida man who's doing somersaults? Yeah, here we go. Uh let's see here. This I got a couple of other I can't mm mm. No, I'm not gonna.

Or we can talk about the Florida man who built a cave in his backyard with shipping containers. A man cave with sh that also sounds like a fort. With shipping containers. I'll share that one with you tomorrow. Stay with us.

Third Hour Net. Our partners, Hillsdale College. It's a great, great actual academic institution founded in 1844. And a small Christian classical liberal arts college in southern Michigan. And they're all about the pursuit of truth and the defense of liberty.

It's been hallmarks of their college since they were founded. And they understand, too, that one of the reasons that the Republic persists And lives on is that people recognize the principles of this republic and the greatness of what this country is and what it was designed to be.

Now, to that effect, you don't have to be at their campus in Michigan to take advantage of what they have to offer. They have all kinds of free resources for you, such as. If you like historical Documentaries, they've got this great deep dive on Thomas Jefferson as he reflects on the history of the Declaration. It's all based on a very real letter that you can read that he wrote later in his life to a colleague. And you can visit Dana4FORHillsdale.com and see that special video for free.

While you're there, you can also get a free commemorative copy of the Declaration from my friends at Hillsdale. Just type in Dana4FORHillsdale.com to view this video, and you'll get a free commemorative copy of the Declaration from Hillsdale to keep or pass on to someone you know. It's a limited time offer, though, so don't delay. Visit Dana4Hillsdale.com. Yeah, that they they should they should clean up.

It's conceivable that he's been loose with his language or said stuff that doesn't design I mean I there's People are human beings on these campaign trails. And so, but now he's running for a major position. If he needs to clean it up, clean it up. If you need to clean it up, clean it up. You know how, like you said, you carried this weapon in war and you actually never were in war?

Clean that up. Yeah. Yeah, like and you said it over and over again, and then you held signs saying that you were a combat vet. Maybe clean that up. Stop it.

There's no way you're going to be able to spend this. You can't spend it. Just don't try. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you.

The top of this third hour. Trump is expected to speak soon from Mar-a-Laga. We might take some of it. Uh oh please for the love of all things holy let him stick up to policy. Look, you survived an assassination attempt.

You're like bulletproof, okay? You need to, you could build on that and focus so bad on policy. If if Trump came out And by the way, I know that there's there's there's some rem some remnants of Difficult feels. between many in the 2A community and Trump because of the Red flag stuff and the bump stock. I get it.

But if Trump came out and said someone shot me and I still don't want to ban guns. If he came out and said something like that. Or if he came out and said, you know what, someone shot at me, and I'm going to back. And if I have to do it, executive order, just to counter. Come on, heroes.

National reciprocity, I'll do it. You know, that would be one of those Vince McMahon memes where he's like, Interested? And then he's like, yeah. And then he's elated. And then he's like, his head explodes with joy.

It would be like one of those things. just like that.

So I just want him to stick to policy. He's coming out right now. And do we want to take some of this? I know he's going to, let me give him a minute because he's going to say thanks very much. You're here, you're here.

You know, I appreciate that. You know, blah, blah, blah. He does that. He gives that greetings and salutations.

So I'm going to give him a minute. But he's talking about the debates. We'll take some of this. But we have a lot of stuff to hit still.

So we are going to come back and we're going to have the rest of our program. But I do, I want to hear some of this because it's for my job too.

So let's dive in. It's in progress. He just walked up to the mic a minute ago. In the form of other countries that are, frankly, very powerful. They're very powerful countries, and we don't know what we're doing.

We have leadership that has no clue. how to handle them or how to handle any other situation. We have a uh We have a lot of bad things coming up. You could end up in a depression of. The 1929 variety, which would be a devastating thing, took many years, took decades to recover from it.

And we're very close to that. We're very close to a world war. In my opinion, we're very close to a world war. We have people that don't know how to handle it. Uh they're not respected.

All over the world, they're left at And we can't have that. Most dangerous period of time I've ever seen for our country. With that being said, We have somebody that hasn't received one vote for President and she's running. And that's fine with me. But we were given Joe Biden, and now we're giving somebody else.

And I think, frankly, I'd rather be running against somebody else. But that was their choice. They decided to do that because uh Kamala's record is horrible. She's a radical left person at a level that nobody's seen. She picked a radical left Uh Man that is uh He's got things done that he's He has positions that are just not, it's not even possible to believe that they exist.

He's going for things that nobody's ever even heard of. Heavy into the transgender world, heavy into lots of different worlds having to do with safety. He doesn't want to have. Borders, he doesn't want to have walls, he doesn't want to have any form of safety for our country, he doesn't mind people coming in from prisons and. Neither does she, I guess, because she's not She couldn't care less.

She's the border czar. By the way, she was the border czar. A hundred percent. And all of a sudden, for the last few weeks, she's not the border czar anymore, like nobody ever said it. And I just hope that the media becomes More diligent, more honest, frankly, because if they're not going to be honest, it's going to be much tougher to bring our Country back.

We have a very, very sick country right now. You saw the other day with the stock market crashing, that was just the beginning. That was just the beginning. It's going to get worse. It's going to get a lot worse, in my opinion.

And uh Fortunately, we've had some very good polls over the last Fairly short period of time. Rasmussen came out today, we're substantially leading, and others came out today that. Where the leading and in some cases substantially I guess MS. NBC came out or CNBC came out also with a poll that was us leading? and leading fairly big in swing states.

In some polls I'm leading very big in swing states because they want safety. People want safety, they want security, they want respect all around the world for our country. They don't want this horrible culture that is developing. A culture of no common sense. It's truly a culture of no common sense, and it's not what anyone wants.

We want to have a safe country. We want to have a strong military, we want low interest rates, and we want to be able to have the American dream. We want to be able to have our youth be able to buy. Homes, housing, get good jobs. And we're really just at the opposite right now.

It's so sad to see. But as a border czar, she's been the worst border czar in history, in the world history. I think the number is 20 million, but whether it's 15 or 20, it's numbers that nobody's ever heard before. 20 million people came over. the border in the last during the Biden Paris administration, 20 million people.

And it could be very much higher than that. Nobody really knows what the number is. Nobody knows. Nobody has a clue. And uh The gottaways, they call them the gottaways.

The gotaways are numbers.

Somebody was quizzing me on it the other day. No, no, I don't think so, sir. I don't think so. They have no idea what those numbers are. But they're much higher.

And then you would think, just like far more people were killed. in the Ukraine-Russia war than You have a report? Just like the October 7th would have never happened, Russia would have never. hit Ukraine had The election result been called differently. It was a very bad call, but Russia would not have attacked Ukraine.

October 7th in Israel would have never happened. You wouldn't have inflation. A lot of great things would have happened. But now you have millions and millions of dead people. And you have people dying financially because they can't buy bacon, they can't buy food, they can't buy groceries, they can't do anything.

And they're living horribly in our country right now. With all of that being said, I think it's very important to have debates, and we've agreed with. Fox, on a date of September 4th, we've agreed with NBC. Fairly full agreement subject to them. on September 10th.

And we've agreed with ABC on September 25th.

So we have those three dates and uh But those networks uh they're very anxiously Awaiting that date and those days.

So this is Trump speaking from Mar-a-Lago. And the question is: and if he comes in with anything new, anything big or any cutting, we'll have it and we'll play it for you. But he's um Where's Kamala?

Now to that point Let me share somethin' with you. Let me share something with you real quick. This is something that the Left accidentally admitted. I just saw it and it's just new in Politico.

So the headline is why Harris isn't taking questions.

Okay. And They Answer their own. You know, they explain it. She has been talking with some of her traveling press. Off record, meaning they can get some things on background they can't attribute to her.

But apparently It's the outlets that are paying. For the plane travel, that are getting the FaceTime. Is that not interesting?

Now Biden ever It's noted the left notes that, well, Biden didn't talk to them off record. you know. But They noted in this, you know, kind of like in this aside that they were in Politicos writing about it. They're saying that, well, you know, she's got. local press that she Uh that she has that travel with her.

And, you know, essentially it's like those Who are traveling with her? She visits with a press pool. They sit in the back of the plane. But she speaks only off record. And when she's chosen to comment on the record on something in the news, she speaks to the pool on the tarmac.

She'll make statements, but she doesn't take questions. And one of her campaign people said, Well, what's the incentive for her to take more questions in this political piece? That's kind of interesting.

So I don't know. It's just a very, very... That's So she tri what she It's off the record FaceTime. And that's how she kind of like buys them off. That's so weak.

But the media, you have to understand our legacy press eats that type of stuff up. And I don't really honestly believe. And I want to put this out here too. They pay to get on the plane, but I don't honestly believe that the press pays what would be the market amount? for flying on, you know, an Air Force jet.

Come on. It's not anyway the same. This is just wild.

Now On her website, she still has no pol no policy. Uh look, I gosh, I don't even want to have to type this in. She has no policy positions. Nobody knows where she is. 18 days now.

She isn't given, she'll make a statement in front of the press. That's not a press conference. There's no engagement, there's none of that. None of that. It's all so unbelievably.

They're choreographing it to keep her out of. The camera lights. They don't want her in front of the cameras. They don't want her freewheeling in front of the press because it's a disaster. I get it.

But Man, sh where is she? Where is she? I mean you I don't know. And it's good that Trump is doing a press, he needed to do one. But I think that he also needs to be a little bit more disciplined when he does these things because It needs to be about policy, policy, policy.

And if I can present something to people without people losing their minds. Let me lay this out. Trump on the right. can be viewed as A polarizing candidate.

Now, that's just simply true. There are people who love him, and then there are people who don't, and they are both on the right. And I'm saying this Again, as a way to remind people. There is no other alternative but to win in November. I don't care what people's personal feelings are.

Get over 'em. Everybody needs to put on their big girl panties and get up and get over it. I say this because There, you have to take that into consideration. the sort of divide that exists on the right. And when he does He the more disciplined he is, the the higher and the more well received he is by the people who are resistant to him on the right, the more disciplined, the more pointed he is.

Like when he did the debate, he was so he was very, very disciplined in that debate. He was so disciplined, he was laser focused, and he was very well received by everyone. The less he, not to say that he can't free will, but he needs to be more disciplined and hit policy, policy, policy, policy. And hitting her as the borders aren't all that, that's all great. That's all good things.

Contrast. Just strictly all of her feelings with all of, you know, his. Achievements in terms of policy and time in the administration. That's what's going to do this. And that's what's going to uni that's what it will take to unite the right.

That's what will take to win it in the margins. But it has to be laser focused and disciplined. And oh my gosh, the RNC has got to get better and the campaign's got to get better at this ground game. We've got more in store. We got headlines on the way.

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

Well, this is how you get me with a headline: Ancient Hobbit Bones. Experts have made an incredible discovery that suggests a hobbit-sized human species. That once roamed a remote Paradise Island was even smaller than first thought. They think that they found the bones on Indonesia's Flores Island about 20 years ago. They called them hobbits because they were like three, a little over three feet.

And they said that they think that the new study that they came out with, they were actually even shorter. that they that than the ones who came after them.

So they actually think instead of like three 3.3 feet that they were probably 2.4 inches smaller.

So they were weensy. They were a tweed. I just was like hobbits, yes. Uh a Douglas woman, Douglas County woman charged with arson because she With siphoning gas while smoking. A woman in a bakery van who lit a cigarette apparently while using a hose to siphon gas out of a U-Haul vehicle is charged with second-degree arson after at least one and possibly two U-Haul vehicles were destroyed by fire, according to court records.

Jennifer Holmes, who drives a van with Nana's sweet treats written on the side, was arrested on August 3rd at the Farmers Co-op. The police were called to the U-Haul business lot. They said that it was fully engulfed, and then they found out that she apparently was siphoning gas from the U-Haul and lighting a cigarette at the same time, which is super smart. Yeah. That's actually a very smart thing to do.

not. Don't ever do that. Seriously don't. Let's see here. We got a man who was running naked through downtown Des Moines and hijacking cars right and left.

This man was naked. He got done taken to jail. He was in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, running through the streets, buck naked, screaming at the ladies, and then. He tried to get into a car. Oh my gosh, can I just tell you?

Can you imagine you're in your car, getting in your car, and a dirty, sweaty, naked man comes running across? Oh my eh, I would have thrown up. I would have thrown up out of just the nastiness of it. He was arrested, but I am sick now. I'm sick.

And I got a protein drink I got to finish. It's disgusting. We got a lot more on the way, including Trump is still speaking. Kamala has no policies. Oh, and we got to talk about bread and circuses 2024.

Stick with us. Not able to catch the full Dana show? Follow Dana's Absurd Truth podcast and get news and laughs delivered in short, easy-to-digest episodes. Ideal for your busy lifestyle on Apple or wherever you get your podcast. What a stupid question this is.

On the other side. Why haven't we been campaigning? Because I'm leading by a lot and because I'm letting their convention go through. And I am complaining a lot. I'm doing tremendous amounts of taping here.

We have commercials that are at a level I don't think that anybody's ever done before. Plus, in certain cases, I see many of you in the room where I'm speaking to you on phones, I'm speaking to radio, I'm speaking to television. Television's coming over here. Excuse me, what are we doing right now? She's not doing any news conference.

You know why she's not doing it? Because she can't do a news conference. She doesn't know how to do a news conference. She's not smart enough to do a news conference. And I'm sorry, we need smart people to lead this country because our country's never been in this danger before, both economically and from an outside.

From an outside perspective, Russia doesn't respect us anymore. China doesn't respect us anymore. North Korea, Kim Jong-un. Liked me a lot. He doesn't like this group.

We are in great danger. We're in great danger of being in World War III. That could happen. No, after their own.

So Trump is being asked by, what was he being asked, like about press conferences or what? He was being asked whether or not he's concerned that he's not campaigning enough, that apparently he wasn't taking.

Some campaigning serious stuff.

Okay, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys. I know he got mad at that question, but can we please? I need, first off, welcome back. Your girl here with you, Dana Lash. Always good to be with you.

We're at the bottom of this third hour. I need everyone to chill to the next episode. Chill for a second, okay? First off, people are bringing up these very concerning points. because there's some stuff in the polls that are very concerning.

And I've Spent. an endless amount of time looking at them. And I'm telling you what. And we knew that they were behind. He's been behind since Iowa in terms of field offices, in terms of having your.

It's like your street team, you know, like your electoral street team, having your team on the ground in these battleground states. It is not. I need people to not think that it is an attack on Trump because this is coming from people who want to win in November. It has nothing to do with that. Look I question the motivation of people who don't want him to fix what he's doing wrong.

Or don't want the campaign to fix what they're doing wrong. And just to keep to the current path, I question those people's motivation. Because if I was a progressive plant, that's exactly what I would be telling them. Oh, no, it's great. Keep doing exactly what you're doing, don't change anything.

It's exactly what I'm like, I'd be telling Tim Waltz: go out and keep saying that you were in war. Go say it. You see what I mean? That has nothing to do with people need to chill and realize that, you know, some of us want to win. And I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but I say this because It is a jit you can tape all the commercials you want to.

You can do all the stuff that you want to because people are like, Are you campaigning? He's going to, he is going to Montana. And then he is uh And I do I do agree. That because the question came from a progressive, that was suspect. I actually only put stock in the right bringing this up.

Now, here's the thing. He says, Well, the Kamala hasn't talked to the media in 18 days, but I haven't had a rally in like a week. And you're, well, yeah, they need to absolutely question her. But the problem is that It's not And it has nothing to do with him campaigning. This is what I'm talking about.

People need to get off that. It has nothing to do with him physically going to a state and campaigning. This has to do with his campaign having field offices and ground games in these states. It has nothing to do with him being tied up in court. It has nothing to do with him going out and campaigning himself personally.

It has nothing to do with him having rallies. This has everything to do with him having field offices in swing states, in battleground states, media buys in these states, and making sure that these states are fully staffed. Kamala Harris is flushed with cash, and they are not outsourcing their state-by-state outreach to third-party entities that have never before done this. The RC is. That's the concern.

So when I see people, I see Republicans say, well, it's, you know, he's been tied up in court. That's why this has nothing to do with him campaigning. This has to do with his campaign having a ground game. This has to do with the fact that You know, he literally did not have any field offices in Iowa leading up just even to the caucus there. They've been behind for a really long time.

It's something even actually that Junior had noted. And you can't play catch-up. And and try to build when you should be on offense like that.

So, this is the problem that we have right now, and they've got to rectify this. And so He He campaigns a lot, and I think he makes himself available in pressers and all this other stuff. And that's true. Uh and I do think that the uh I do think that it is You know, a huge part of the media protecting her.

Now, Lorraine makes a good point. She's like, well, the campaign can't afford the ground game in media buys because the legal fund is sucking up all the cash. That is true.

So here's another uncomfortable truth. that we've known for a long time. Uh A lot of the stuff that's being donated is going to the legal fund.

Now, I get it. You know, and this is something that even the RNC and his daughter-in-law, Larry Trump, has mentioned. This is the problem that you have as a result of that. Because a lot of stuff is going to the legal fund, which is leaving you open to not being properly staffed in a number of states.

So, I don't know how they're going to fix this. I don't know. I just don't want to have a post-mortem on a loss in November and. Look back and think, and look and see, okay, it's because this didn't happen, or this didn't happen, or this didn't happen. It's concerning to me because, like I said, You know, we got to win.

I was looking at, you know, in Wisconsin, it's 46, 45, Harris. I mean, they're tied. I mean the margin of error and then another tied. I mean you have two national polls now that shows Harris taking a lead. And in the states where she's taking a lead, they have a formidable ground effort.

They are registering voters right and left, more so than the Trump campaign is. That's a problem. Scott Pressler has even talked about it. When he went to Bucks County, he was like, I can't believe the percentage of people here at the rally who told me that they were not registered to vote. He was shocked.

That's Pennsylvania. That's a state that they gotta win. It's a state that Harris is foregoing for Georgia. I mean, this is, you see all this stuff falling into place here. It's very, very, very.

troubling and Everything is, and it is true the legal fund is sucking up a lot of it. It doesn't have to be that way. And I think that It doesn't have to be that way. Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think Trump's in there just volunteering to go to court and spend all the legal fees?

That's not what I'm saying at all. I'm a straw man. But you're saying that it doesn't have to be that way. I'm saying he doesn't have to use that money. He can be doing.

They could be putting, you know, trying to match the effort on the ground.

Okay, but you've got money going into the RNC that's going to be diverted for legal funds that are essentially levied by his political opponents.

So Those are costs. It for you to say that it doesn't have to be that way, yeah, you should be talking to Democrats about that.

Well, it doesn't have to be that way though. I mean, he's got to win. I mean, he's got to win more than he needs to do anything else right now. No, and I agree with that. And that means you're 80 something days out.

You're five weeks out from early voting. From the first vote being cast in Pennsylvania, you are five weeks out, actually less than. You're 80 something days out from election day. All of that's going to hold, and all of that is still going to be there. It's not going to mean a damn thing if he loses, though.

Yeah, I agree. I mean, if he wins, he's like, I pardon myself for everything. He can do that, and I think he should. Because it's all so stupid. But if I was a Democrat, it would be a great strategy to tie up a bunch of money that he would normally be using to campaign in court.

And see, here's the other thing: you don't make, though, big donors nervous by picking inter-party fights. Because big donors are going to hold on to their money if they think that you're imploding, if they think you're picking fights with other Republicans. That's how they are. They will hold on to their cash. You got to give every indication that it is smooth sailing.

Just give me some money. That's how it's got to be. It's a tricky spot. There is. There's There is a way to negotiate around it.

There's a way to get around it. It's a temporary way, but enough to buy you time to win. That's the thing. I want to switch gears because we got to play this. Can we play this audio about bread and circuses?

We can't play any of the Olympic stuff. Oh, sorry, I can't even say the Olympic. We can't play any of the Bread and Circus 2024 stuff because they'll give us a season desist.

So I can't actually show you any of this, but I've got to play at least. Can we at least play the audio? It's not going to be able to stay digitally because they'll get you for that too. But what ended up happening, let me pull this up. This was This uh who is this?

This is uh was one of the Olympic um Commentators. who is introducing this shop putter named Raven Saunders. And saying, oh, it's good to see her back. And his co-host is like, well, actually, she actually are non-binary. Listen to this: audio somebody 22.

Timing her run into these temperatures to good effect. The colourful character of Raven Saunders back. Good to see her back, sort of.

Sort of see her, I mean.

Well, we can't see them very well. Rosie Saunders is actually non-binary and she's wearing the mask there. We're quite used to seeing them with Interesting as well.

So he's saying, oh, Raven Saunders, it's in the British. It's so good to see her back. And then the other commentator goes, oh, yes.

Well, Raven Saunders is actually non-binary.

So you're seeing them and they oh my gosh, really?

Now, they're British, so I, you know, if they had not done that in Britain, they could probably get like fined. If you don't force, if you don't compromise your right to free speech to fit.

someone else's fantastical self-perception. then you actually can get in a lot of trouble over there. That's a real thing. That's not parody. That's real.

That's real. That's insane. That's absolutely insane. Oh my gosh. We have more on the way as we roll towards the conclusion.

Of all of this. Oh, yeah, wait. I want to get to this because you, you, well, can we talk? It's 23. This is the director of public prosecutions of England and Wales.

Steve reminds me, they're warning that if you share, again, the speech issue, if you share online material of riots, that's an offense. Yeah, listen to this. The offence of incitement to racial hatred involves publishing or distributing material which is insulting or abusive, which is intended to or likely to start racial hatred.

So if you retweet that, then you're republishing that, and then potentially you're committing that offence. And we do have dedicated police officers who are scouring social media. Their job is to look for this material and then follow up with. Not to protect his getting stabbed, but to look for material about hurting the feelings of people who might be doing the stabbing. That is Steven Parkinson.

He's the Director of Public Prosecutions. And he says that UK residents, if you're caught reposting even so much as sharing images of the riots online, that could be considered criminal.

So if you get a photo, like of a, you know, somebody who is stabbing school kids and, you know, the riots that result from the stabbing, and you share the, like, oh, look, what I just happened to be there, and I was like, you know, I had my phone. I was thinking, yeah, you could be in trouble. You could be in trouble for taking pictures of right. You can be in trouble for anything over there. You can be in trouble for blinking.

Over there. There And they act like that is what incites hatred, but not the stabbing and the murder and the grooming and all of that stuff. That doesn't do it. That guy actually sounds like a female copulatory organ. He does.

That's crazy. And he's quoting the Public Order Act of 1986. Listen to this. This is the order. Listen to how arbitrary it is.

A person who uses threatening, abusive, or insulting words or behaviour, or displays any written material which is threatening, abusive, or insulting, is guilty of an offence.

So Offense? Yeah. Uh Mm-hmm. Oh man, we're heading there. Subscribe to the Dana Show podcast.

The biggest crowd I've ever spoken to, and I said peacefully and patriotically, which nobody wants to say, but I said, peacefully and patriotically. The biggest crowd I've ever spoken to, and you've seen Maggie, I was in At the mall, I was at the Washington Monument, I was at the whole thing.

I had crowds. I don't know who's ever had a bigger crowd than I have, but I had it many times. The biggest crowd I've ever spoken before was that day. And I'll tell you, It's very hard to find a picture of that crowd. You see the picture of a small number of people relatively going.

to the capital. But you never see the picture of the crowd, the biggest crowd I've ever spoken, I've spoken to the biggest crowds, nobody's spoken to crowds bigger than me. If you look at Martin Luther King, when he uh did his speech, his great speech. And you look at ours, same. Real estate, same everything, same number of people, if not we had more.

And they said he had a million people, but I had 25,000 people. But when you look at the exact same picture, And everything's the same because it was the fountains, the whole thing, all the way back from Lincoln to Washington. And you look at it. Just talk about policy. And you look at the picture of his crowd.

Just talk policy. Just be like, hey. Do you not want to pay sixty percent tax rate? Do you not want to send your kids to war? Do you not want to have uh you know the this the Yeah.

We're going to have to be like splitting one egg between our whole family. It's going to be crazy. Please just stick to policy. He's still talking right now. We got today's stupidity before I let time get away from me.

Yes, we do. And it's going to be, it's funny the way Steve wrote it here: ABC's Wang. Her name's Selena Wang. But this is this is he did that on purpose, and he's probably chuckling. You can't hear him because he's music.

This is cut six. Go ahead and play this really quickly. Wall served in the Army National Guard for 24 years and has never claimed to have seen active combat, despite those comments that he carried a gun in war.
