Tuesday August 13 - Full Show

You know, with all of that being said, to me that's so important, the most important, but with all of that being said, The election's coming up and the people want to hear about the economy. And the fact that they can't buy groceries because they don't have enough money to buy groceries, the inflation has killed them. Food prices are up 50, 60, even 100% in some cases. And this stupid administration allowed this to happen. And she's in charge of it because, you know, now she's trying to say she had nothing to do with it.

And she's such a liar because she was called the border czar the first day and it was on the headlines of every newspaper. She's the border czar. And she never even went there. She went to one location which had nothing to do with where the problem is. You know, she went in and out, I guess, because she was getting a lot of pressure, but had nothing to do with the problem.

But she was the border czar. And people can't allow them to get away with their disinformation campaign.

Well, and that's true. I liked that Trump really focused a lot on Policy. And I'm going to be honest with you, I didn't listen to the whole thing. I didn't, because I had stuff I had to do. By gosh, I'm like, I Come on, give a girl a break.

I was gonna listen to like 5,000 hours of them to having a discussion. I just wasn't gonna do it. We'll cover the hits for you. And but I do think that it was important that he talked policy. And it seemed like he.

Stayed on policy for the most part. It didn't seem like he got distracted or got into the weeds. And I don't know if that was just. It was something that Musk seemed to be more Focused on policy-wise, you know, whatever it was, but it was, it was good because that's that's when Trump is his best. That's when he does his absolute best, is when he stays focused on policy, as we talked about yesterday.

He doesn't get into the weeds with all this other stuff. That's that's when it all works out.

So, welcome to the program. Dana Lash with you. We are at the top of this. First hour On Tuesday. It feels like it's I don't know.

Not Tuesday. Feels like it's a lot. Yeah.

So This uh A few things to hit. We got the ongoing fallout, the Harris Wall stuff. We've got more clips from this. Interview. that Trump did with Uh Elon Musk.

And I mean if they I you knew you knew that it was it was successful for I think the Trump camp because Democrats are so mad about it. Leading up to it, they were livid about it. There's this audio. This is like a Washington Post guy. who was questioning Why It should be that, and Kane, you can say it wasn't an interview.

It was an interview, though. Come on. It's a question. It ain't going to be an interview, but still. But it was the Washington Post reporter.

who had This was in the lead up to the conversation. They were so mad that this was even happening. That they were trying to figure out like how are you going to Like, is there a way to shut this down? Listen to this. This was like this goofy reporter, Audio Soundbite 1, who legitimately asked the Biden administration if they could stop the discussion.

Listen to this. Elon Musk is slated to interview Donald Trump tonight on X. I don't know if the president is going to tune in. Feel free to say if he is or not. But I think that misinformation on Twitter is not just a campaign issue.

It's an America issue. What role does the White House or the president have in sort of stopping that or stopping the spread of that or sort of intervening in that?

Some of that was about campaign misinformation, but it's a wider thing, right? Yeah, no, and you've heard us talk about this many times from here about the responsibilities that social media platforms have when it comes to misinformation, disinformation. Don't have anything to read out from here about specific ways that we're working on it, but we believe that, that they have the responsibility. These are private companies, so we're also mindful of that too. But look, I think it is incredible.

Incredibly important to call that out as you're doing. I just don't have any specifics. What are you doing internally? What a clown question. What a clown reporter.

Do you know? the antidote for bad speech. Do you know what it is? More speech is better speech. The antidote for bad speech is to have more speech.

So, the way that they could have handled this and the way that they could have responded. is they could have Kamala Harris, hell, they could even have Joe Biden have a sit-down discussion. with Elon Musk. No one's stopping them. No, the left refuses to participate.

because they have weak candidates who cannot. And they know this.

So they know that they can't sit and participate.

So their response is to. It's not It's a lack of that, they were excluded. That's what it is. They want to make it seem like they were excluded. When really they just refuse to participate because their candidates can't sit and have a normal conversation.

Kamala Harris can't string together a single sentence in her head, and neither can Biden. I mean, it's it's Really shameful. And she doesn't know the issues well enough to even talk off the cuff about it like that.

So. They can't and they're really, really. making sure that she stays on script. It is a very Meticulously micro-managed campaign. I was having a conversation with a friend of mine.

I'm not going to say any names. It's one of my friends who Remained friendly and remained a friend, even though they're a Democrat and they're wrong on literally everything. God love them. You know, I pray for them. But They my friend was saying that it is It's frustrating.

It's really hard work. She said to have a because she used to run comms for a senator. Senator from New York. And my friend was saying that it's very difficult. To micromanage a candidate to that extent, it's difficult for everyone else involved.

And the word is that there are. Even you you have like the Biden and Harris factions. But you have little micro factions within even the Harris camp.

So then you got all these people that are pushing to pull in for power. And it's like it's a nonstop struggle for these people. It's one of the reasons why the turnover rate is even higher. I mean, you always have a high turnover rate with some of these campaigns because people burn out really quickly. But with her campaign, there's a reason why she's rolling through people like that.

There's a reason why. A micromanaged campaign, and my friend made the offhand remark that, yeah, it's true. I've never seen a campaign that's been so micromanaged. And my friend said, you know, that used to be a hallmark of Democrats. Democrats used to be the ones that used to be able to go out there, sit on a bale of hay, you know, barnstorm through all the battleground states.

And now they cannot even go and address the press without having some scripted answers on the tarmac. And I thought, yeah, that's true. That's very true. I mean, because it's. It's So managed, it's so micromanaged that she's not able.

They're not setting her up for success to have a conversation like this, and they're not equipping her. With the, well, either that or she just doesn't have the capability to be able to understand the issues.

So you have reporters like, well, I mean, should we just shut it down? Like, the insinuation is that Biden and Harris were somehow excluded from it. Everybody knows that that's not true. You know that if the Harris campaign had said, Hey, I'd like to do a sit-down discussion with Elon Musk. You know that they would do it, right?

Everybody knows that that would happen. The problem is that she hasn't said that she wants to do that, she doesn't want to do that. But you know what she will do? She'll straight the hell up steal your policy idea. She will straight steal it.

And For instance, we mentioned this yesterday, but they are really pushing it. And then Biden got in on it.

So, first off, This, she had said yesterday during the audio came out that she's, yes, I'm gonna also do no taxes on tips, except. The way she said it was like it was her own. Uh policy idea. Like it was her own idea.

So this is Uh audio sound by what, seven? This is one of the spokes. Is this one of the spokespeople? Because she had said no taxes on tips in an address. This is her spokesperson.

Also saying it and taking credit for it. This was yesterday evening. Listen. But she certainly, again, has many parts of President Biden's agenda that she helped pass, that she supports, but she's also going to be putting forward her own agenda. And that's something you heard her talk about when she talked about no taxes on tips in Nevada earlier this week.

Her own Her own agenda. When and then Kane, when she talked about the no taxes on tips. Oh yeah. You know her own plan that she came up with. But wait a minute.

Was it her own plan? Or was it like some, was it Biden's plan? I don't know. Audio Soundbite 4, KJP was asked about this yesterday. Did she steal that?

Did she steal it? This was the answer. Trump was the first to endorse eliminating taxes on tips. He's accusing Vice President Harris of stealing his idea.

So did she get this idea from Trump? Look, I'm not going to respond to a presidential candidate. I think their campaign could speak to that directly. What I can say is this president, this vice president have always had the backs of the working people, always. And you see that in the policies that they put forward.

Everything that we have put forward, historic pieces of legislation that are obviously now laws, are helping middle-class workers, are helping people, just people in different communities that are normally, again, left behind. Concerned or confused.

So she, I mean, normally she has no time at no problem at all addressing every little thing that Trump does. She has no issue. But now, suddenly, because it's disadvantageous for them, she has an issue with it. She's. She doesn't want to address it.

That's the problem. That's fascinating to me. But it's her thing, you know. It's hers. By the way, it was hers, but it's also Biden's.

Audio Somebody 3. It's Biden's idea also. Thanks, Karen. Over the weekend, Vice President said she would, if she followed former President Donald Trump and saying she would support proposals that would not tax ticked wages, if such a similar bill made its way to the President of the United States, President Fiden, would he sign that proposal? Because that's not something he's embraced before.

Absolutely. Look, this is something that the President supports. He supports eliminating taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers while also raising minimum wage and preventing the wealthy from gaining the system. Oh, the wealthy from gaining the system. I mean Uh he's president.

He could just do it right now. He could do it right now, no taxes and tips. He could do it completely right now and steal the thunder from both Trump and Harris if he wanted to do it. But Why doesn't he? Because it's not really what they believe.

I mean, there's a reason why she presided over and was the deciding vote. in the Inflation Reduction Act, which uh completely That's what made all of this worse. It made this system worse going through the POS system, making sure that you're reporting everything, et cetera, et cetera. And the other thing is, too. And I want to talk a little bit about this coming up.

I think that, can I be honest, I think it's a dumb fit ploy. Because I think that you could go so far beyond it. I think it's dumb because it's just like. Uh a weird it's one little niche section And is it just for servers? Like, what about the people in the kitchen?

What about the line cooks? You know, what about everybody else? Like, I've got, you know, I've got some questions about how far it should go and why should it just stop with that? Like, why can't it extend further? Because you're talking about payroll tax and then federal income, and these are two different things, and they're still getting taxed on one.

So. There's a lot here to unpack. But I just don't know if Biden, if they really wanted to do it, they would have done it this entire time that they were in the White House. This is so stupid. They made it.

They have made it to where it's worse for workers, and now they want to try to rewrite history on it.

So, we're going to get into all of that. And additionally, I've got some culture for you. specifically Uh the C G I dwarves. Yeah, you heard me. You heard it right.

CGI dwarves, we're going to have to have this discussion. I know. I don't know. It's just one of those times, guys. We got a lot to hit.

The best coffee that's out there. Everything else is just absolute swill. It's just garbage. I can't stand drinking other people's coffee because their beans are bitter. It's just not good.

Black Rifle Coffee gets the best damn beans from all around the world. They bring them to their facilities in Utah and Tennessee, where they roast them five days a week. It's veteran-owned, veteran-run, and they support veterans and first responders as well. I got to tell you, Big Coffee hates them, like the Starbucks and all the other garbage coffee places out there. They can't stand Black Rifle Coffee because they found a way to get into American culture and mainstream, you know, support for military and 2A rights and first responders and all of that.

And they just can't stand it. And so one of the things I've seen, they try to attack Black Rifle Coffee.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

Okay, so Kane and I, you know, grew up in St. Louis and we've been in the arch. I've been in the arch a handful of times. I will say, if you're claustrophobic and/or afraid of heights, it's a one-two punch for you. But if you're claustrophobic, you know, you got to get into one of those little pods and then you go to the stage.

With strangers. With strangers, which is my nightmare. And like in a close, like you're sitting and your knees touching a stranger's knee. That's what I'm talking about. It's weird.

Wait, none of you like it. And you go all the way up to the arch.

So the worst thing in the world is to be trapped in one of these things or to be trapped up there.

Well, guess what? It was supposed to be just a 60-minute ride around the arch and it turned into a disaster. Two dozen came. Two dozen tourists were left stranded. Two dozen.

It occurred around 3 p.m. Five to six trams became stuck in the north leg. They were stranded right below the observation deck and it took until 5:15 for them to be evacuated by firefighters. There were no injuries, but oh my gosh, you guys, do you know, like you sit in a pod and you go up? I cannot even imagine.

Now, they said that they're still looking to see why it malfunctioned, but it malfunctioned. I mean, that's like worse than being stuck. On a roller coaster. It's like a sphere that you're sitting in. You're in a tiny little sphere, you can't even sit up straight.

It's crazy. Scientists have unlocked the secrets of 4,000-year-old Babylonian tablets and they found terrifying predictions for the future as their punishment for working to unlock the secrets. 4,000, they said, it was found more than a century ago in modern-day Iraq, but they've only now completely translated to them. Uh, they uh blah blah blah, cosmos, blah, blah, blah. All right, so what does it say?

What are we doing?

Well, it says revolts upon the land, both foreign adversaries, the weather, rain, floodwater, and uh devast. Oh, somebody, a dad, whatever that is, is going to devastate the threshing floors. I guess they're a Babylonian god. Uh, let's see, all kinds of. Just horrible.

Everyone's gonna die. Your walls will fall. Everything will die. That's what that's what they're saying. Yeah, there you go.

Thanks. Thanks, history. If it's Babylonian, I mean, if you've learned anything from Ghostbusters, you know, looking at this ancient stuff is just not going to go well for you.

So don't do it. Two Boeing 747 pilots intercepted several UFOs on a flight that did, and they did not show up on radar. And this is on video as well. They said these things did not show up on radar. They were very bright, moving freely in the sky.

It was two pilots going from Saudi Arabia to Nigeria, and the video was posted to YouTube. And it showed up 30 minutes into the flight. They said normal takeoff, normal cruising, everything was normal. They experienced no turbulence. Very weird, right?

We got a lot more on the way. Stick with us. I agree with Annie Oakley, who said, I would like to see every woman know how to handle guns as naturally as they know how to handle babies.

Now, I myself regularly conceal carry a 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-flight. 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.

Whether you'd make the same decision as someone else, just mind your own damn business. Gosh, does he? I'm so tired of him saying that. He acts like it's like this new thing. Guys, look what I just learned to say.

Welcome back, Daniel Lash with you. Bottom of this first hour. Go and find the. Uh discussion. Over at uh Rumble.

You can find us on X, Channel347 Direct TV as well, and Substack, Chapter in Verse, all kinds of good stuff up there. Speaking of mind your own damn business Remember, we told you about the snitch line that they created, right? Because in Minnesota, They had some pretty draconian lockdown orders. And they had some pretty draconian Penalties if you ran afoul and you didn't stay home or do whatever. And so This There's one story in particular.

was Really? there's so many crazy stories that happened from that time. This woman, Lisa Hansen. She was a small business owner. She owned a wine and coffee bistro.

She's the mother of eight. She's going to have 18 grandchildren very soon. The only other The only other time she's ever been in trouble with the law was when she got a speeding ticket as a teenager. She owned her business for over 30 years. She and her husband both owned it together for more than 30 years.

And Her Business called the Interchange Wine and Coffee Bistro. and Albert Leah, was about ninety miles south of Minnesota. had been open for almost about a decade. And She had owned different businesses, always apparently in the service industry.

Well, then they got the shutdown. Orders, right?

So I got the shutdown orders, and her bistro initially complied with the shutdown order. uh that March. But then Months following that, Waltz never fully reopened. And there were businesses, remember, liquor stores were deemed to be. Essential.

churches were not essential. That was even in Texas. And Bars, restaurants, gyms, dance studios, salons, all of the those were considered nonessential. Strip clubs were considered essential. Big buck stores were considered essential in Minnesota.

Liquor stores. were considered. Essential in Minnesota. But if you wanted to go to a restaurant, if you wanted to go to the gym, If you wanted to get your hair cut, that was non-essential. And she was trying to Make a living, her and her husband.

They had bills. to pay. It was really cute to hear. Joe Biden talk about rent moratoriums. and not having to pay rent.

And putting a moratorium on that, putting a pause on it. But the problem is that for business owners They still had their bills to pay. And the people that owned The buildings where people were leasing, they still had bills to pay. And so Hansen was watching this grandmother. A lot of these businesses have been open for decades.

Have to close down before they ever reopen. And she said he always allowed the big box stores, et cetera, to stay open.

So she decided. And this is Gosh, almost. Almost a full year even. Because this was going up between, this was all going up into even into January 2021.

So she decided to reopen her business. And she defied his shutdown order for bars and restaurants six times between December 2020 and January 2021. In December of 21. This is a full After all of this first kicked into gear, correct? Full year.

She was convicted on misdemeanor charges and she got the maximum sentence of 90 days and a $1,000 fine. She ended up serving two-thirds of her sentence, 60 days. She was in jail. for two months. Because she needed to open her business so she didn't lose her head.

And this is just one business owner in Minnesota. A lot of these business owners are coming out and saying we either were jailed we were fined or we lost our businesses. And his executive order It completely closed down all dine-in services 100% for indoor and outdoor. She said that there were 200 other business owners just in her area alone. That were targeted.

They were targeted by, at the time, Minnesota AG Keith Ellison. They were operating in a rogue fashion outside of the law. There was no statute in their state constitution that allowed him to do what he did, but he did it. And it was completely outside of the scope of the statutory law in Minnesota. And then in addition to that, you had the snitch line.

They were encouraging people. And Juan has that line. They were encouraging people to call the snitch line. That not only did the governor set up, but But you're but Minnesota tax dollars paid for it. They paid for the monitoring of it.

They paid for all of it. Listen, this is what happened. This is what people would get when they would call the snitch line. This is literally it. Listen.

Hello, you have reached the Department of Public Safety Stay at Home Hotline. The information you leave is considered public information. At the tone, please leave the following information. Your name. Your callback number.

Hollow stay-at-home order is being violated. and where the stay-at-home order was violated. Thank you. Is that unbelievable? That is unbelievable.

So, this is what, but yet he has the audacity to go out and tell everybody else to mind their damn business. You need to go mind your own damn business, he said. Mind your own damn business. She was jailed. She was jailed.

I mean Remember There there was a candy store that was kept open. KSTP Minnesota Channel 5 ABC Affiliate. The largest candy store was allowed to stay open.

Well, why was that? Why were they considered essential? But a bistro wasn't, oh, because they're really good friends with uh the governor. Oh, really? Uh-huh.

Yeah, there's a whole article over at KSTP that uh gets into how they're friends. Huh, interesting that.

So if you're telling me that if you We're a friend of Waltz's that exceptions could be made in this very important health role. Oh, yeah, because see, the virus. If you needed an exemption because you were a friend of the people putting the orders in place, the virus wouldn't affect you. It was less contagious there. That's how science works, Kane.

That's how it worked. And of course, you know, we'd later find out that none of this stuff, and we knew. None of the stuff was. It was all a joke. It was all fantasy.

It's shocking to see how many people wanted to comply with it to the extent that they did.

So this guy walking around saying, Oh yeah, mind your own damn business.

Well, he didn't do that. He didn't mind his business, and he's been saying that over and over again. There's like a ton of different sound bites. I'm tired of like seeing them where he keeps saying it over and over again, like it's a catchphrase. It's really cringe, and it's also very disingenuous.

This is what to expect if you get these clowns. in the White House in November. I can only imagine. Oh, here's some bird flu stuff. We gotta shut everything down.

Have to shut everything down. That's it. I mean This is This is who they are. And Waltz is bad. Bad, bad, bad.

We're going to get into some of the other Chinese stuff, but a bad guy. He's um but he looks like he's innocuous because he's oh, he's just this old Minnesota dad. You know, fly over dad, that's what it is. And just, you know, hmm.

Now in the meantime There is Absolutely. I don't think there's anything on the books for Harris Walls, for any kind of press conference, press avail. anything of that sort. In fact This is CNN to Kamala Harris's spokesperson. They actually seemed.

To be a little indignant over the fact because they want to get the interview. They want the ratings because if she hasn't done an interview in a long time, that's gonna be some clicks, right? They want to be able to have it.

So CNN was a little indignant. This is what they said to her spokesperson yesterday. She's going to be taking that message out to voters, and I look forward to seeing what she's going to say on Friday. I think we all do, and I'll ask you more about that in just a second. The reason I was asking you about today is because it seems like she has time if she wanted.

To do an interview with a member of the media or do a news conference, correct? There does appear to be that time if she wanted.

Well, look, she has said on the campaign trail that she would be doing an interview at some point. She said that, I think, last week during a rope line or when she was talking to reporters. But look, what is important here, John, is that she is taking her message directly to the American people. She hit a number of battleground states. I think we had 15,000 people in Detroit last week, 12 to 13,000 in Nevada.

She's been taking her message to the voters and drawing large crowds.

So she's actually having those direct conversations. But not today. I'll say the media plan. Not today. She could do an interview today, I would think, you know, because she's not out there today.

Yeah.

Well, look, so you can see. This is I think that's only going to get worse for her as because remember the media The media does not have this really close, amicable relationship with her in the first place. They. Have always been, there's always been a little bit of animosity there because she wasn't one of the politicians that they were trying to play nice with. See, now all of a sudden, she's been thrust into that position, and there isn't still fully that allegiance there.

So They also want the clicks from this. I think at some point she's going to have to be pushed into doing a press conference, but her campaign's idea of just micromanaging her every move. And not having her, not having her do these discussions with people like Elon Musk, et cetera, while simultaneously intimating that. It's because it wasn't offered to her. And that's unfair.

And so we got to shut it down. They're operating under that false. I mean it's a lie. They're hiding behind that as they don't want Trump talking. They don't want Kamala talking either, but for different reasons.

They don't want Trump talking.

So if Kamala can't do it well, then Trump, they don't want Trump to do it at all. That's the whole point of it. We got a lot more on the way. We got Days of These United States coming up.

Uh Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. I know you guys are objective over there, that you just report the news as it is. Oh, I know. A CNN makes it and then. Is that supposed to be a lab line?

It wasn't supposed to be, but I guess it is. Because it is, but I mean, everybody knows it. Even the people who watch CNN. Come on. Even the people who watch CNN know.

Stop, you know better than that. Welcome back to the program. You know better than that. That was Stephen Colbert. I still think.

He used to be funny and I think when he got super Um politically bitter? I don't know how a better way to describe it. He just got it got super cringe. Yeah.

He got real cringe and I just I can never take him seriously again. I can never See him as a funny guy. I just see him as an angry guy. That's all I can see him as. Did anybody watch The End of the Bread and Circuses?

I forgot that that happened. The Olympic stuff. Did you guys watch any of the ending? No. I didn't either.

They had some like weird tripped out Pokemon stuff happening, I think, at the end. And that was it. Tom Cruise apparently jumped from the ceiling. What? Yeah.

And that was kind of it. He apparently argued with some of the producers too. But yeah, he. Jump from the roof. of the stadium And then because it's going to LA, you know, the Olympics are going to LA.

Now, I want you to remember, I want you to just be prepared for how This is going to play out.

So you have the LA Olympics.

So it's going to be that summer right before. They Election. Who's governor there right now? King. Uh-huh.

Good old gruesome Newsome.

So Gavin Newsome is going to use this. Obviously, this all plays into his hand. He's going to be using this as a way to further promote and campaign off of. Just so you know. Look at Kane over there.

Like I didn't see it, I literally didn't see it. I guess it was like promo for a movie and I guess I just didn't care. Yeah.

I'm not I just posted that little video in Slack. That is Yeah, he jumped off the thing, but I And they did this handover.

So there's a reason why he was there, and a bunch of these other folks were there. He. is Was part of that, the whole handoff from Paris to. Los Angeles. And so just saying, you know, we're going to have very interesting it's going to be very interesting 2028.

Newsome's already campaigning. You know, you saw him like trying to clean up some stuff. the homeless encampment that he helped create. And, you know, he's got the He's been trying to push high-speed rail again.

So he's Which is already a boondoggle. You know he's hired his own photographer. He hired his own photographer. Which nothing says bougie and privileged. like hiring your literal own photographer.

To follow you around and take photos of you for your social media and all of that. Don't sit here and tell him it's because he's. It's because he's you know, Dina, he's he's the governor, he's got a di no, no, no. The guy gets paid. Politico had the story.

The guy gets paid. two hundred thousand dollars a year. And he's not just any photographer. He hired a celebrity photographer. You know, he's trying to present this man about the state kind of image.

He was the guy who traveled with Newsom to China. He was there, he took a picture of Newsom in his aviator sunglasses, jeans, and work gloves picking up debris from the homeless encampment. There was him. Serving the damage of the Borrell Fire in Kern County. That was him.

He takes pictures of him doing all this stuff, and then they put him out there.

So he has his own. actual paparazzo that follows him everywhere. and takes photos. That is not the move of a guy who is just content with being in the governor's office. That's not the move of a guy who is just content about because.

It's not like the the photographer is taking action shots of him doing stuff. He's like taking these like Annie Leibovitz style things. Like these profile pictures. It's weird. This guy, I'm telling you.

I'm telling you.

So watch out for that because that's he's going to use that as a way to. you know, burnish his bid. He's you know com going to have that in 2028. And Newsom is going to be the guy that that's exactly who they're going to run. They are going to run that.

And I think they're kind of looking like, well, you know, even if we've got Kamala. You know, even if she loses, then we can just, you know, maybe hold the line in the House and Senate and wait for twenty eight. They're they're planning, they've got a couple of different options. We'll explore some of that here coming up. Uh we have our second hour on the way.

And yes, places that I think were written off are now in contention. This is the first time I've seen this. I'm sorry. This is one of the dumbest takes that I have ever heard, that I've heard this cycle so far. It really is.

I can't stand the slacker. I cannot stand him. It is one of the dumbest takes. First off, Robert O'Rourke saying that Texas is in play is just mind-blowingly stupid. It's not in play.

You know what? His candidacy was nothing more than a Democrat get out the vote register voters operation. But I don't think anyone clued him in on what the strategy was because he actually believed the manufactured hype surrounding himself. He actually thought, wow, people really like me. They must have a lot of faith in me.

No, you You dumb, dumb male. No. No, no one believed that. No one believed that for a hot second. You were literally nothing more than a vote registering op.

That's all it was. That's what Wendy Davis was because they're trying to seed the ground for future elections. It's a smart play, but it didn't happen as quickly in Texas as they thought it was going to because they were anticipating a Colorado 2 election cycle turnaround, you know, the blueprint on which the book is based. But it didn't happen like that in Texas.

So they had to run this stooge twice, right? This Nepo baby, this slacker Nepo baby. And so he's out there. The fact that he's saying that is just so dumb. And I come from a county.

Where he actually bested Ted Cruz in that county. But you know what? Overall, it doesn't make Texas in play. It doesn't make Texas in play at all. And it wasn't because there were more registered Democrats either.

It was because Republicans just didn't go out and vote because there was a lack of enthusiasm. And that's a whole other, that's the bigger threat. But it's not because they registered more Democrats and Texas isn't in play. Texas is not gonna go blue.

Now, I'm not saying that because I'm naive, I'm just saying that. It's not gonna happen. They're not smiling. I don't see any Democrats aren't smiling down here. They're all hateful and pissed off.

They're not smiling over anything, Jiminy. If they're smiling and they're a Democrat, they're high. It's true. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you.

By the way, he's like, hey, who can we get that's really dumb? And they can sit here and blow smoke up Democrats' butts for us about their chances in Texas. Oh, that Robert Orrourke, the white Irishman. whose dad gave him a Hispanic sounding nickname.

So that he could play to the Hispanic vote. I didn't say that. His dad literally said it in an interview recorded by the Dallas Morning News.

So don't get mad at me, I'm just merely the messenger. you know. You know the guy who had the DUI and was gonna leave? And then, you know, he his judge, daddy, daddy judge ended up helping him. Golly, can you imagine?

Does he work yet? Does Beta or Rourke have a jo- wait, hold on, hold on. Let's Google. Let's go to Google and have some fun. Does Beto or Rourke have a oh my gosh, it doesn't just fills it in for me.

I really don't think he does. It's not looking like it. The last one is from May 8th, 2004.

So what is he doing anyway? Oh, he's Not working, that's apparently what's happening. No, he's not working, guys. He's doing advocacy. Do you remember when he, after he lost one of his first elections?

He went on this road trip to go and like find himself. Craily generous time. I'm just like gonna go find myself and do some things. He went on a road trip. He left his kids with his wife and went on a road trip.

Remember this? I I don't even know how that happened.

Now he, this is what, this is what the Houston Mag says. These days, O'Rourke travels around Texas to lecture, listen, and learn about political strategy and voting rights.

So he's unemployed. He's unemployed. Still. Why is he allergic to jobs? Right?

So that's what he's doing. What so, what is it that you do?

Well, I travel around Texas. He's 40-something years old. This is my favorite thing about it, he's older than me. And he's like, oh, I'm a millennial. Shut the hell up.

No, you're not, you stupid idiot. You're not a millennial. Shut up. Gen X wouldn't want you anyway. I love these people that are.

Look, guys, I'm just like you, fellow kids. We're predo. This guy. Kane, what if you like, if you meet someone, say that you're at like a gathering, okay? And you're just, you know.

Wait, you're pe gr people grilling brats, whatever. Sure. You know, you're just chilling. You know, having your kombuka tea or whatever it is you drink. Not how it's pronounced, but go ahead.

Okay. And um whatever, your bacteria tea. And with your SCOBY friend in it. And You're talking to somebody you've never met and you're like, oh, hello, you know, 'cause greetings and salutations. What is it that you do?

Oh, well, I travel around to lecture, listen, and learn about political strategy and voting rights. What does that say to you? What would you. then surmise that that person's Has their trade to be Uh unemployed. There you go.

Unemployed. Yeah.

I just like travel around, I like advocate. Oh, you advocate mhm. What do you advocate for? Like advocacy? Gustav.

Oh, my gosh. I can't. I mean Uh there you go. I mean, I can, and it's fun, but I don't know. There's like a whole that's so that's what he does.

Oh, he founded a pack. Oh, this is what I love. I love it. I love when these failures are like, I'm going to create a pack. I've had people ask me to create packs before.

And I have said no. a million times. And it I It would have to be under a very Controlled circumstance because this is what PACs are used for. People like Robert or Rohr create PACs and they go around and advocate and stuff. And they They raise money through the pack and then they cut themselves a check.

And then that's how they get paid.

So, the whole purpose of the pack is to literally fund that person's life, that's their salary. I cannot tell you how many packs were like that.

some you know of, and they're very well known. that do just that. A lot of people that front the packs that get massive checks. That's exactly. That's why I hate donating to PACs.

I don't donate to PACs. I only donate directly to campaigns. I will not donate to a PAC.

So they said that the. Since the organization has signed up a quarter of a million citizens to create a more just, fair, and equitable taxes for all, what does that even mean? A just fair, it sounds like my pastor. Just fair and equitable Texas. I'm still smarting.

I don't know if you can tell, still a little saucy. about the Sunday sermon. Uh What does that mean? Just, fair, and equitable Texas. What do you mean, fair and equitable?

You know, just like some equity. For what? What does that even mean? This is what this guy does. He literally goes around and fleeces people.

He is a grifter.

Well, you know, Democrats are smiling because I bet he was so excited that MSNBC asked him to come on. I bet he couldn't figure out what shirt he was going to wear. He was probably so excited. Can you imagine?

So excited. And I bet he was working. Democrats are happy. Democrats are. Democrats are smiling.

Yeah, that's it. What a loser. I can't believe, you know, I will say, give his wife an award because she took that one off the market to prevent any other sister from getting entangled.

So she took one for the team there. All right, so I know that was mean. And? And am I lying to you? That would be insulting.

So I might come back to that. He's sort of like the failed Newsom. Isn't he? He's like Newsom's slacker little brother. Just like going around advocating for stuff.

The fact that nobody knows what he's doing in the Houston magazine had to write a whole piece on it because nobody knew. tells you everything that you need to know. There's literally one pair. He's just like going around advocating for stuff. Jeez.

But he's a guy that they're going to go get a hot take from. I can't wait to read the trolls. There's like a bunch of. I don't know, like, um middle-aged white women that love Zima that Get very offended when you talk poorly of him on social media. I don't know if you're aware of this, and they just, I feel like they don't do anything else with their lives except watch The View and drink Zima and do acrylic nails.

And that's what they do: sit around, do each other's nails, sit around and bitch on Twitter about people who don't like Beto. I honestly feel like that's what they do because whenever you say anything about him that's even remotely not flattering, It's blah blah blah. There's like a herd of them. They come caterwalling into your mansions. All right, so I've I do have other things, but it's just so fun.

What he's the Bernie what did you say? Say it, say that, say that. What you said in slide.

So Beto is the Bernie Sanders of John Carrey's. That's literally what he is. Dude, that's deep. It is? Nice.

It's deep. It's really well done, sir. Thank you. Well done.

Alright, uh Audio is some at 11. Everybody is even madder at Elon Musk. Everybody's mad at Elon. Elon Musk. They're mad at him.

Listen. You are the path to prosperity, and I think Kamala is the opposite. I mean, that's my honest opinion. I'm going to get attacked like crazy, and I've also experienced quite a bit of lofty myself. But I'm just trying to tell people my honest opinion.

And I haven't been really active in politics before. And I'm just trying to point out that my track record historically has been moderate, if not moderate, slightly left. And so this is to people out there who are in the moderate camp to say, I think you should support Donald Trump for president. Mm. I mean, he's saying that there's two pathways, so this is why the left is so upset.

The left is upset. Even Kamala Harris had a statement. They're all upset. They're all very mad. The EU was threatening Twitter or X with sanctions.

Because they were platforming Trump. That's wild. I mean, they they Is that not foreign interference? In an election, if you're Demanding a business in a country that is not your own, not platform a candidate that you can't even vote for anyway because you're a foreigner and you're not even here in this country, doing anything in this country, like on our land, anywhere in it. Right.

How Is that not Yeah. Jonathan Turley notes that the guy who um is pushing this stuff. This, what is his name? This Terry Breton guy who was threatening Musk with sanctions. He says that he's one of the more notorious figures in an anti-free speech movement that has swept over Europe.

He's using. The DSA to force other countries to censor their citizens, its free speech regulated by the lowest common denominator and the level set by the EU. See this is why people think, you know, when you talk about EU stuff, Mm-hmm. It's not unrelated to you because they've been trying to push this stuff, even in the U.S., and the EU's been trying to use their muscle. That's why, in watching the takeover in the EU with more, some of these other conservative countries like Italy and these others, that's why it's so important because they're literally trying to influence.

Other directions of companies based in the USA, American companies, the EU is trying to influence them through pressure, through extortion, through blackmail. And they don't think that that's election interference. But if you allow someone to speak freely andor criticize the EU, then somehow that's election interference. It's wild. And You actually had a reporter, Washington Post is a major publication.

We played this audio last hour, who was asking, well, again, a newspaper, one of the biggest oldest newspapers in the country, asking the White House, well, I mean, is it okay to let them speak freely?

Well how do you go to stop? Yeah.

It's just wild. We're gonna, we got more of this. We're gonna talk more about this. We've got uh also the, I'm gonna get to the CGI dwarves. It's coming up.

Don't worry. I haven't forgotten. Believe. I agree with Annie Oakley, who said, I would like to see every woman know how to handle guns as naturally as they know how to handle babies.

Now, I myself regularly conceal carry a 9mm.

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

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

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

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

And now, all of the news you would probably miss, it's time for Dana's Quick Five. All right, so First up. This less attractive people live shorter lives than those who are apparently better looking, according to a weird study that I have no idea why anybody felt necessary to do this. It was from Arizona State University in UT. They analyzed data from a long-running study that tracked over 8,300 Wisconsin high school students from the 50s until just a couple of years ago.

They looked at Facebook photos, everything, yearbook photos. Uh, lifetime health data, and what they discovered, they said that apparently better-looking people live longer. I think that's weird, and I don't know. I'm quite why, why are you? Why?

Why are you having that look? What we can do?

So maybe Who determines who's better looking than who? I thought beauty's in the eye of the beholder, not some science thing. Yeah, I don't know if I'd trust like a science, like anybody to determine. Weather, I don't know, it's just weird, right? That's a weird, yeah.

I don't know. I don't know if I put a lot of stock into that. When, why? What is the nest? What's the necessity?

What is what's the purpose? What does that conclusion serve? Classical music is medicine. Hey, guess what? Another study on classical music.

that we all know is true. Mood boosting tunes help synchronize the brain. Classical music is medicine. Yeah.

No, no, not at all. They looked at mood, all kinds of stuff. Classical music, yes. There's studies about how it helps you to study better, it helps you to relax, it helps boost your mood. There's all kinds of stuff.

I know a lot of metal music is based on some classical music, too. Yeah, no, totally. Two people were hospitalized after trucks hauling molasses and manure.

Sounds like an interesting name for something. They collided on a southern Idaho interstate. There's no saving that. That's just awful. It was a collision between two trucks, one molasses, one manure.

And it was about 2 p.m. And uh Yeah, there were two semi-loaded trucks, a freight liner semi-loaded trucks. One was in a 98 one. Loaded with manure. Another one was in a 2013 freight liner loaded with 48,000 pounds of cane molasses.

and one bumped the rear of the other and then a thousand pounds of molasses was spilled due to the collision. The other freight liner came to rest in the meeting and caught on fire. Oh my gosh, everybody's okay. There were some taken to the hospital, but good night. That's not.

That is not. It's spilt molasses. Yeah, that's not a wreck I'd want to be involved in. A woman crashed her car into a Canoga Park taco shop. This was a week after she hates this taco place.

She also vandalized their catering truck. She really hates this taco place. This was in LA. Police booked her for felony vandalism, and I think they're adding an assault with a deadly weapon charge because people were in the restaurant when she rammed through it. They still are they they don't know why she's targeting This same taco place, but clearly she has issues.

We've got more on the way. The CGI dwarves next. Make some common sense of the crazy headlines with the Dana Show podcast. Your on the go guide for getting up to speed on today's most important stories. Subscribe on YouTube, Apple or your favorite podcast platform.

I would like to first of all say thank you to Imam. I am a teacher, so When I see a master teacher, I know it. And over the time we spent together, one of the things One of the things I've had the privilege of is seeing the things in life through the eye of a master teacher. to try and give He's like, she is like, she's off, like, she's super awkward and all this stuff, and he's super awkward with things, and they're both just awkward.

So he's like, Yeah, I've been able to see a master tape charts, Tim Walls. That's some flashback audio. He's facing a lot of questions after this video. This one where he's like talking about this Nut job. Nut job.

Radical cleric. Who loved some Hitler, loved some Hitler, loved him some Hitler. That's the true story. This is I mean I Um disassociate him from this. But it's not true.

This he had him as, remember we talked about this yesterday. Uh the governor of Minnesota Who he hosted this guy, he who the guy celebrated Hamas's October 7th attack. on Israel, promoted a neo Nazi film. Loved Hitler, talked about Hitler. The Imam Assad Zayman of the Muslim American Society of Minnesota.

Joined other these other Muslim leaders for this meeting about mosque security. And this is back in uh twenty twenty three. And so The uh Immom spoke at a 2020 event. as well. with the governor at the time.

And he's been hosted by the governor like numerous times. The Harris campaign said there was no personal relationship between Walls and Zaman at all. Like they were saying, oh no, they just didn't know each other. What what are you talking about? It's like that Mariah Carey video.

It's like, I don't know her. I don't know her. That's what they were trying to say with Walsind. The same mom. But that's not true.

I mean he called him a master teacher. And in fact, what's more, Washington Examiner notes that Waltz's administration. Not only do they repeatedly host the Sky, but they steered six figures, hundreds of thousands of dollars, to the Sky's organization. And so At some point it's not a mistake. It's on purpose.

At some point, constantly making these errors, it's just not mistake after mistake, it's just this is purposeful. Action. This is he's lying, he's misleading purposefully, he's embellishing purposefully. Uh and he can sit here and they can try to hide it as much as they want to, but That's not how it's working. That's not how it's going to work.

It's bad. We're going to come back to this. I got to get into the I got to clear the palette. How many of you First off, I was talking to some friends last night. We had dinner with some friends last night.

They were in town. And uh it was actually Kurt Schlichter and his wife. And We We're discussing how I can't just go to a movie theater and sit. And be held captive by the dark? And in the seat, unless it is a great movie.

It has to be a fabulous movie. I have to be fully engaged, fully into it. Otherwise, I cannot sit still. I get so fidgety, and I just, oh, it's just torture. And this is one that I definitely am not going to go see.

Because and most movies have been so Not great. And so overwhelmed with political correctness and all this other stuff. You guys remember, this is, we've been talking about the Snow White thing for how long now, Kim. Oh man, gave him value. I don't even know how long this has been in production for.

It first made headlines because Peter Dinklage made Uh Some Little people angry. Because they accused him of acting as like the gatekeeper for all little people in film roles. In fact Peter Dinklage got mad. Remember, he got mad over the whole, there were dwarves in Snow White, and he was like, oh, we, you can't believe, you know, it's 20, whatever, and you're casting. No dwarves.

That's this, you know, but that's the story. That's literally the how the story goes. And then Disney, because of apparently what he said, Then they got very nervous and they decided we don't want to offend little people, so we're gonna replace the dwarves with magical creatures. And then you had WWE star Dylan Postel, he got mad. And he wrote, quote, who died and made Peter Dinklage king of the dwarves?

It pisses me off, end quote. He blasted him. He absolutely blasted him. And Disney was like, we don't want to reinforce stereotypes, all this. And it wasn't just.

Dylan Postal, Warwick Davis, who I don't think anybody is more famous. as far as acting and being a little person in Warwick Davis. He hid out. At the theater in London, because they got rid of the Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. They were doing this Christmas performance.

of the Grim Fairy Tale, They changed it. It was the de Montfort Hall production of the nineteenth-century grim fairy tale, and it was known as Snow White and The seven dwarves but it was changed to Snow White and her seven friends. Because they said dwarfism is not a word that people feel comfortable with. And Warwick Davis. He said that it's patronizing when people are offended on his behalf, and that it angers him that he doesn't want others of his stature to lose out on jobs.

He says, quote, it loses something if you don't have snow white stwars. I've been in a lot of pantos and I don't think it's offensive at all. He says, I'm sure there are those out there who don't like the term, but as a short actor, I want to be given the choice about whether I appear in Panto or not, and I don't want someone making that decision for me, end quote. And I love it that he also added that it was a smoke screen. He thinks that to allow companies to drop Expensive actors.

And he says the excuse of people being uncomfortable is a poor one. He says, I doubt they've questioned the audience about whether or not they think the word dwarf is offensive. Very interesting.

So that Warwick Davis was mad.

So now they've replaced because everyone was wondering, okay, what's Disney going to do? Because they were going to replace them with these magical creatures, right? And they just look like a bunch of hippies. who just walked out of the Whole Foods and were going to their cars.

So Disney, in its bid to avoid reinforcing stereotypes, decided. To completely eliminate acting roles for actors of such smaller statures. and just do it all CGI and it looks absolutely heinous. It looks insane. And so, yeah.

That's what They've got and there's a teaser trailer out apparently and they did CGI. And can I just say that CGI It's weird. When they do people, it's weird. We're not there yet. We're not there with AI.

We're not there with CGI yet to do people like that in a film. It's weird. It and now everyone's saying that the dwarves look very unnatural and weird. And they called the appearances as Uncanny Valley and the stuff of nightmares. And Apparently Disney also did a terrible CGI job.

And everybody's blaming Dinklich. You know, I mean, there's not, and they were saying that now the left is like, well, you know, it's true, there's not really a lot of roles for people in Hollywood that are, you know, little people or that are of short stature. That is true. Maybe if they could, you know, just fix the depiction. Here's the other thing that we were talking about.

Now, granted. You know, we were We are a generation that were raised on Lord of the Rings. And my kids were raised on Lord of the Rings. Kane. In The Phantasy Realm Yeah.

Like Lord of the Ring, like Gimley, etc. They are not A Joke of a Being. They're like noble beans. They are. As a matter of fact, they're regaled a lot.

in some of these films. And apparently. With amongst the Zoomers They hate elves And they're all about dwarves. It's like a big thing with deep rockalactic and all this stuff. I don't even understand.

I wouldn't even be able to intelligently tell you the difference between the two. An elf and a. Like a dwarf? Yeah.

I have no clue. I literally have no clue. If you listen to the Zoomers, the elves are G-H-E-Y and total losers. And they do magic which is hated. And then the dwarves can just build literally anything and are hardcore and can kill you.

That's do I do I have that right, zoomers? Do I have that correct? I think so. That's what Yeah, I'm as um confused as I was five minutes ago. I mean The magical creatures thing doesn't work.

It's way better if it's dwarves anyway, because when you think of it, when I hear dwarves, I'm like, oh my gosh, Lord of the Rings. That's what I think of. I think of like the dwarves of lore. that are will They're hardcore, right? Yes.

And they found this chick who came from a broken home. You know, she's like out in the woods, all like falling over, can't do anything. And, you know, they bring her in and they and then she takes care of their house and they go out and they do work and then they come back. She makes their food. You know, she's like the.

The female presence in the home that they never had. And, you know, and they go out and they go and help her and they protect her too, right? I mean, it's like, you know, a win-win all around. But I don't it It's just weird that they decided that it's better for everybody. Let's just get rid of the actual human actors and we're just going to do weird CGI where.

It they like she's the same physical human actress. And then All of the other actors and their issues were just too problematic, so they just jettisoned them for fake beans. Like you said, they're just trans dwarfs.

Well, yeah, they're trans drawers. They're not even real. I don't know. I Disney decided. I think it's hysterical that the left is like, well, is this woke?

Now, Juan is showing you what it looks like. That's like from one of their teasers. It looks bad. They I think Isn't that more insulting? They gave in all of these exaggerated features.

And I guess now they're saying, well, sorry, little people, you weren't enough. We're going to have to do this. And it also kind of suggests that they don't believe that little people can be good actors. And I would think consider that you know the presence of Warwick Davis and Peter Dinkl, even Peter Dinklage. Who started all of this, you absolute loon?

He's a phenomenal actor. You do not factor in any physicality when you watch him act because he's very good at his craft. He's also a giant horse. And Are you okay? I'm just upset at the fact that this will be Now see, this will be like a point we look back on thirty years from now.

and realized that, you know what, we couldn't employ any live little person for any role anymore because of the potential offense And so now we've ruined an entire whole generation of people. From being able to earn money at a craft like acting. How is this progression, though? Like, how is it progressive? Because.

And that's what Dinklich had said in his thing. He goes, You're progressive in one way. You cast a Latina as Snow White, but then you're still making that backward story about dwarves living in a cave.

Well, they didn't live in a cave, you absolute imbecile. They didn't live in a cave, they had an actual house, so that's your bigotry. The trailer's out there, and it shows all their seven iconic companions. They're all portrayed with. with a PC PC CGI.

It's just Not progressive. It's illiberal. I mean, you literally Have a film. that has roles specifically for a segment of the population. That is Incessantly overlooked by Hollywood.

And now they're overlooked in the most offensive way possible. Because the people did not want to be faced with their own discomfort. And so they pretended to do something on behalf of the group that they're actually robbing. And say, now no, it's for your own good. And these people just want to work.

I mean, it's so stupid. You know what? I mean, if people are like, well, it's not realistic. The animals talk in this stupid movie, in this story. Are you serious?

There's a witch with an apple. She's killing a chick. I mean it's like Murder. This is so dumb. And it just gets dumber and dumber and dumber.

And then there was the This chick didn't even want to be in the movie anyway. Because remember, she was like, Oh my gosh, I'm not having the prince kiss me, wait me up.

Well, then stay dead, bitch. I don't care. Stay dead. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. Wait.

It's time for Florida man.

Alright, I'm gonna start right with this one. Um. Because I hate myself. says Margate, Florida. This guy's mug shot's like, Yeah, I did it, what?

Um read this headline as is. Victim escapes bus stop sexual assault by allegedly biting the suspects. You know. I don't. A man was arrested after his victim thwarted a sex assault at a bus stop because yeah, well, the they allegedly bit.

His male cobulatory organ to escape. August 7th, officers from Margate Police Department responded to a nine one one call from a caller who said they were witnessing an assault and attempted sexual battery. MPD officers arrived. They were flagged down by a witness who observed a male attacking a female in the area. Uh the guy's named Devin Applewhite.

What a name. He was assaulting the victim in the middle of the roadway. Apple White pulled the victim's hair and then was hitting her in the face. And um Yeah, she just he was trying to force her to do an act, and she did not want to do it, and then she finally bit him, and then that's how she was able to escape. That's disgusting.

I'm gonna vomit a lot. That's so nasty. Thankfully, she was able to escape. She was evaluated. There was, she was okay.

I don't care if the other guy was okay. I just feel like, you know, that's how you get your knob torn off. You know, I'm just saying that's that should be it. What state was it? Send them to Louisiana where people who do that kind of stuff.

They're just you know what, they'll just get you, they'll tie you up, they'll pull you behind a truck with it. Rib it off like a tooth. That's what needs to happen to these peop these predators. People are dying at me right now. I can just feel it.

You guys are like, Dana, what on earth? That's what happens. That's what happens. So uh this A Florida robbery suspect jumped into the river to evade arrest while people questioned him. while the police were questioning him.

At Daytona Beach. This guy was accused of robbery. He had to be detained in the river. I mean, that's where the Gators are. 32-year-old Richard Martinovics.

Officers greeted him. He was walking with a plastic bag and a cup. They were questioning him. He was asked to take a seat. And then, like a second later, somebody they heard a plunge in the river, and someone goes, He's in the water.

Uh he was escorted on a boat with a life vest and in handcuffs. Yeah, you can't be, especially that's where the gators are. You can't be doing that. And then let's see here. This.

I don't know clogged this Florida toilet. And apparently this is the thing. It is a So, the whole green iguana thing is so prevalent in South Florida that it's so invasive. Apparently, One of one Florida man actually had to go in, and there's a video, there was an iguana that somehow. got into is the South Florida home.

And they had to, uh, with uh cruelty free remove the iguana from the toilet, which means that the the trapper, Jeff Darlington, grabbed it by the tail and pulled it out, just pulled it out of the right out of the commode. That's a crazy story. That makes me terrified to go to South Florida. Stay with us. Congressman Smallwell, to your point about Kamala Harris, why hasn't Kamala Harris laid out her policy agenda?

It's not even on her campaign's website.

So she's doing that this week. She's talking particularly about her economic message. She's also been going across the country, filling arenas and talking about what she's going to do on the rights that were robbed for women when Roe was taken away, the border crisis that she's going to solve, that her economic policy won't benefit billionaires, but it will benefit hardworking Americans.

Well, at least he didn't fart. I mean, he was able to get through an entire Yeah, I mean, you know, good for him.

Some people, you know, they have a hard time controlling both ends. of their person simultaneously. on live television, like he does. Dana Lash here with you on top of this third hour. I know it was mean and low-hanging fruit, but it is what it is.

You can go find us on Substack. Make sure you sign up for the newsletter, chapter, and verse. And of course, Facebook, YouTube, like, subscribe. We're over at Rumble, channel 347, DirecTV as well, and on X. She's She's going across the country and filling arenas.

That's her policy agenda. That's what it sounds like. Like, what is what does she do, dude? What's her policy?

Well, you know, things. And stuff also. She's filling arenas. Kane, what's her policy on ta on taxation? Or like, you know, maybe refineries or energy or something, anything.

I don't know. I she she plagiarized Trump's no tax on tips, but that's about all I got. What about uh trade? Uh no clue. Is she?

Yeah.

Or is it is it the musical acts that are also Scheduled at the same time. Is it those? Yeah, she's filling arenas though. Oh, okay. Yeah.

So she's uh filling arenas. Same?

Well, what is uh what is uh Vice President Harris, where does she stand on? Uh you know, like uh China and Taiwan.

Well, she's filling arenas. Oh.

Okay, that didn't answer the question, but um See what you're saying there? Yeah, all right. Just taking it directly to the American people. Right to them. Right to them.

In the arenas. What is she taking to them? Herself in the arenas. Yep. Right there.

So like if you just go and you see her Then that's your answer. I guess. Audio Soundbite 23, Van Jones says that I Apparently Trump's jealous or something. I guess that's what I'm supposed to. I don't know.

Listen to this. He's failing and flailing. Listen, they're saying that this is the worst three weeks of his campaign. That's what the the press is saying. This is the year in which he got indicted.

convicted and shot at and actually hit by a bullet. And none of that to him is as bad. as possibly not getting as much attention as Kamala. Like that's the only thing that's happened is that he's just not getting as much attention as Kamala Harris. He is more freaked out about that than being a convicted crook and someone who almost got killed.

Well, I think that's incredibly disingenuous because This is the honeymoon phase. I don't think that people are. I don't think he's upset that she's. I mean, obviously, the press is going to go all in and defend her because they're freaked out. If you want to have a discussion about who's freaking out, he's called, he's doing a thing that we call.

Campaigning. And they're like, oh my gosh, she's freaking out. Like literally, no one. Everyone's just sitting here doing our thing. And the left is going, oh my gosh, they're all freaking out because Kamala, like, none of us are doing anything.

We're like, yeah, you guys are subbing one loser candidate with literally the loseriest loser of a candidate you had in twenty twenty who came in last place, barely scraping together one percent and came behind Poop Booty Juice. But yeah, the people who are just merely campaigning are the ones freaking out, not y'all.

Okay. Oh wow, the rate's totally freaking out. She doesn't even have her policy positions. That's their new line. They're freaking out.

It went from weird to that. Which is weird, right? If you ask, well, where's her policy positions on her website? She just says, why aren't you freaking out? Just like asking a question about Where she stands on important issues affecting Americans.

But why are you freaking out? We're not, we're just Asking some questions. Literally all we're doing. All we're doing. You see that's what we're having to deal with here.

So I I don't know. It's um I think they're the ones who freaked out. They freaked out so bad, they switched out their candidate. They freaked out so bad. Because they were so worried about dear Bornistan, they freaked out so bad.

They literally pushed aside the better vice presidential candidate because he was Jewish. They were so freaked out. And It's still Pretty I mean, it's it's They're the ones who are freaking out. I mean They're freaking out because if you ask them, okay, the vice president, audio 7x5. The Vice President.

What is her biggest her singular achievement. Just name an achievement. Just One, what did she do that's an achievement? And this is the response. What does the president see as the vice president's biggest achievement during their time in office together?

So, look. Because they've been partners, those achievements have been done. Certainly, those historic, unprecedented achievements have been done together. I'll say this: the President. believes in the vice president leadership, her temperament, her experience.

And he is, and he has said this himself, one of the proudest decisions that he made in 2020 was selecting her as vice president because he believed that she can go on day one. And you've seen them do that together on day one of this administration. That doesn't change. I'm not going to anything from here. Her achievements.

She's the achievements that she has. The historic you know, I like how she's you know, the achievements that they have, the historic, amazing historic achievements, the achievements, historic ones that they did together, the achievements that were made together. What were they? But anyway, so um no, no, no. Mm.

What were they? Just one. Just name one, one achievement. That's all we're asking for.

Something to put on a sticker. Give us one thing. Just give us somethin'. Shouldn't be difficult, right? Right?

I mean You can ask a lot of people. an achievement that Trump had. The last four years. When he was in office and they could say, Oh, taxes were lowered down, granted they could have been made permanent. Taxes were lowered.

Everybody will tell you that. 'Cause they were. They can't say that about Well, we um Everything's very fancy now 'cause it's very expensive. The achievement. Let's see now.

fancy designer goods, designer everyday items now. You're paying the designer costs. They have no way to answer this. They're the ones freaking out. Not going to be gas lit into this stuff.

This is uh I want to get in this is uh some of the um This was some of the audio from the Trump just some of the bites from his conversation with Elon Musk, to say it like Josh. I gotta do the Maduro. Ela Musk. His conversation with him yesterday, audio stun by 15. I immediately marked this one.

Listen. Said to Vladimir Putin, I say, don't do it. You can't do it, Vladimir. You do it, it's going to be a bad day. You cannot do it.

And I told them things that what I do. And he said No way. And I said, way.

So, when he gets, can we just cut the part where he says, don't do it, don't do it, because that was me with my dog yesterday. Uh That was actually funny. And he said, no way, and I said, way. It should be Trump Vance 2024. Way.

Just that. He had some really good. I thought that cracked me up. I need to save that for forever. It's actually funny.

He also joked about the slide during his assassination attempt, audio soundbite 16. Listen. The illegal immigration saved my life. You're right, but it was that exact angle. I mean, that's a great one.

Saved by illegal immigration. You know, the incredible thing, though, when you talk about the odds, you had to be exactly at that angle. Mm. It's too funny. It's hysterical.

It's like you had to be these guys. I mean, he had a good conversation with him. It was a it was a good conversation that he had. And uh It made him Because he stuck, he was funny, and then he stuck to a lot of policy and he didn't go off into like the weeds or into the ditch or anything like that. I think it actually helped him.

Uh the people who are freaking out about this, again going back to that soundbite like, oh, well they're you know, the the right is freaking out, he Trump's freaking out about Kamala Harris, he's not the one that has is asking people to make it to where she can't talk. I mean, you have reporters, Washington Post, who brought it up at the press conference yesterday and said, you know, is there a way we can stop this? I mean, good grief. Even Kamala Harris had sent out a statement. Oh, it's going to be misinformation and disinformation and anything that they could do to try to discredit.

uh the con the conversation that was happening instead of offering to do one and countering it with Musk herself. She just wants to shut it down. That's what the left is. They don't like to have to defend their ideas. They don't like to have to defend their beliefs.

They don't want to go toe-to-toe with you and actually bring receipts because that would require work. Heaven forbid, they don't want to do that. They don't want to do any of that.

So instead, they just want to shut you up. They just want to prevent you from speaking so they don't have to do the hard work of defending what they believe. I mean, that's ultimately what it comes down to. We're gonna have more of this. I gotta tell you, so an update on my rescue pup.

Wake. We are having a battle of the wills. This dog So he's little over four months and he's kind of potty trained. but at the same time he's supremely defiant. And we have bells on the door that my chubby French bulldogs knew how to ring when they wanted to go outside.

But Wick, who's raptor smart and already understands drop and stay and sit. And outside and kennel, he knows all these words, refuses. He's like, wait, bells, I don't know what those are. What? He refuses to do it.

So He got had a tantrum. He had a tantrum yesterday. Because He gets mad at you when he starts nipping, when he wants to like hurt you, or when he's getting s super excited when you're playing, you're supposed to ignore the nipping and then deprive them of your attention and that you know makes them upset.

Well, his response was to have a tantrum, and he throws himself like a teenager on the couch. And he talks all the time. And he's talking and and having his fit. And then he stands up and My husband and I are getting ready to leave the house to go to dinner with our friends Kurt and his wife, right? Kurt Schlichter.

And this dog which stands on my sofa. and stares right at my face. and just takes a whiz right on my sofa, staring me in the face. And then you know what he did? He threw up his puppy paw and gave me the finger.

He didn't do that, but he might as well have. I'm like, oh my gosh. Like he's so he got in a little trouble for that. And he did it on purpose. He because he just went outside.

He did it on purpose. He looked at me right in the face and was like, yeah? And then just did it. That dog. I told my husband, I was like, We're going to come back, and he's going to have like a bicep, a tattoo on his bicep, and he's going to be selling meth.

And he's, you know. Good heavens, like he is so. He has two modes. He's that, it's crackhead, and then a sweet puppy. There is no gray area, and he's got the crackhead zone in the morning and in the evening.

And he just turns into just, it's insane. And, you know, we're working with him, and I'm not going to. No, no, don't worry. There's no gravel pits in his future. But.

It is hysterical, his personality, because Our two chonky, lazy, goofy, doofy French bulldogs were just so. happy to please, you know, they'd throw themselves off a cliff just to make you laugh. I mean, that's how goofy they were. And Wick is like, Mm mm, not gonna debase myself for you people. It's funny.

He's so smart.

So Kane s t tells me I need to get buttons. I mean It'd be fun to get buttons. And the dog presses the button, like, outside. And then he goes outside. Then you know what's going to happen?

He'll be kenneled one night. We're going to be in bed. And then I'm going to hear the buttons go off. And I'm going to be like, it's haunted. That's what's going to happen.

Outside. It'll be your voice then. Murderer. No, just. And now, all of the news you would probably miss.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

A woman crashed.

Well, we had the taco shop one. We already talked about this. This is it, it does seem personal. A 51-foot fin whale washes ashore at Torrance Beach. Are you serious?

We just had this whole conversation. about the whale.

So this 51 foot fin whale washed ashore at Torrance Beach. This is in between Redondo and Malaga Cove, Southern California. Lifeguards discovered it about six o'clock. It was inside the surf line. They called the wildlife experts.

You know, all those people came in. The whale was deceased. They don't know why. And they tried to identify the cause. It doesn't look like it's.

Uh in good health. They said it had visible bumps on its skin. It was a thin build.

So it was suffering. They hauled it away using a tractor because the last time we talked about this, they blew up the thing. It like damaged cars and all kinds of stuff. They blew up a whale back in the 80s, and chunks went everywhere. Thankfully, it didn't hit anybody, but it literally damaged cars and busted windshields.

Crazy. Ghost license plates cost New York City $200 million a year, filled by James Bond level gadgets, according to the New York Post.

So everything is a ghost, right? If they can't get a tax on it, they say drivers that have licensed with ghost plates, $200 million a year. It's the tax that New York City is losing. The vehicles whiz through tolls, past NYPD cameras, their red lights, all this stuff, and they're wanting the tax revenue off of it, is what it is. And they said, yes, it influences behavior when people know that their plate is unreadable.

So they're trying to figure out the ghost plate scourge. And they said it's the where they have like the plastic over it and it's scratched out or something like that.

So they said 200 million is what they're anticipating they're losing out on because of this. This is kind of wild. And the US Navy's warships production's worst state in 25 years. That's not good. Stick with us.

We got more in store. On the go and need a quick news fix with a fun twist? Follow Dana's Absurd Truth Podcast for bite-sized informative episodes, perfect for your busy schedule on Apple or wherever you get your podcast. I got infected about two weeks ago. It was my third infection.

and I had been vaccinated and boosted a total of six times. Shh. I was vaccinated and boosted a total of eleven thousand times.

So I guess it's not working then, right? Yeah.

Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. bottom of the third hour. That's um Fauci. If you were watching this simulcast, which you can view, channel 347.

Uh direct T V. Also on X. and over at Rumble where we have the discussion and people interact with each other. And McGroy Nation rated the stream. Which is a fun thing that people do.

It actually seems really fun. And sometimes I'm like, let's just go to the stream. Let's just like hang out. We got news we gotta tell you, but I had to play this volume. I had to play the video for you.

He's been guys he's how many times did he say he was vaccine boosted? Uh three? Six. Six. So let's try it six times.

I've had six faxes and boosts. At some point, wouldn't it work? How many times were you vaccinated? Six times. And yet you still got the thing.

Uh-huh. So. Yeah, three times.

So, would that suggest that you maybe were not inoculated against the Virus that you Got the shot to not get. Ooh, but imagine how bad it would have been if he never got any shots. Yeah.

He would have, he, yeah. What would have happened? Not a damn thing. My legs would have fallen off or something. My arm would have fallen off and morphed into its own super being.

That's what would have happened. He would have turned into an orc. You know. It's just wild. It's so wild.

I And then he wonders why people don't trust. And keep in mind, this is what this Tim Walsky wanted everybody to do. He wanted everybody to. Have to take all this stuff and to do, wouldn't you couldn't leave your house? I love the people, by the way.

I love, you're gonna hear this so much going into the election year. They talk about, oh, voter ideas are racist. To have an idea. To go vote is so rhythms. Wait a minute.

You're literally the same people that demanded. to show a VAX card. that you needed an ID to get And then it told your whole health history just to go eat. At a damn pizza shop, go into a restaurant and eat. You had to show that.

I didn't even go to New York. I can't tell you.

Okay, so I'm going to tell you. I came and oh, remember this conversation?

So, during all of this that was happening, like there are certain networks I couldn't even go to because they required you to, I already had it naturally, but you know, we're pretending to not like science. And so. They wouldn't even like allow me in the door because I couldn't open my booklet and show that I had the Fauci shot. The Fauci ouchy.

So There was at one point where I was told that somebody in New York wanted to have a meeting, and can I go up for a meeting? And this is at the time when things are barely reopening. And, Cain, remember, you had to get. Um You had to show your little uh card and your little shot thingy just to get a cab and things like that, like crazy. I have friends who live and work in New York and they were telling me all this craziness.

Like, that's insane. There's no way in hell I'm going out there. No way. And then they you couldn't even go into restaurants unless you showed that you had that. I couldn't have even gone in hell, I probably couldn't have even gotten access in the hotel.

So I remember telling the Radio America guys, I was like, Yeah, no, it's not gonna happen. They're like, I'm sorry, what? Like, yeah, it's not go not not going. New York and they're making me Show all this. I would have to prove that I've had.

No, you know what? There's a crazy thing called the internet. And they can do Skypes. and FaceTimes and all kinds of stuff. It's like I'm there.

Right. It's like you're right there, without having to be there, and without them having to worry about my little plebeian natural immunity. Imagine that.

So the meeting never happened because I was like, I'm just not going to go and deal with all that. I have, I don't like playing pretend.

Okay. I would have been arrested every other second. There is no way. I would not, I have difficulty with normal average everyday tasks sometimes, not having an attitude. I can't even imagine having to go to New York City.

Kane, you can't go into this cap. Can you show us, sir? Sir, can you show us your facts pass? It's this middle finger right here. Yeah, I got a vax pass.

It's this right here. That's my vax pass. Yeah?

Sorry, can we see that again? Yeah, we can see it. Uh-huh. You want it in your face, too? We're happy to give it to you.

I have two vax passes. Yeah, I got four more of those where they come from. Yeah.

It's tasty. Want some? Can you imagine?

Third, I'm sorry, you can't come in here unless you show us your VAX pass. And then there were people who were who were um Uh printing out fake vax passes? And then they were getting charged with felonies because it's a government document. It's a special secret government document. You know how many people were going to like Mexico to vacation, and Mexico's like, ah, whatever, come on in.

It was the only time that people were like, Yeah, we love that. You don't have this lax oversight. Yay! Or you have totally lax oversight. I didn't care.

People were going down there buying fake passes. You don't know that, but they were. They were down in Mexico buying these fake fax passes, coming back up. Oh, yeah, we got it. Look at that, look at that.

So dumb. And then now we find out all this time later, it was all just, you know. And in the meantime, then you got Tim Wallace. Everybody, forget my record. Let's not pay attention to the fact that I locked down my whole damn state.

Over a fairy tale woo hoo hoo Vote for me. I'm still mad about all this. I'm still mad about it. I we lost friends over this. I just How terrifying was it though?

Think about it for a moment. Allow yourself to mentally go back to that time. How freaky was it that you knew so many people? who were eager to comply. Right?

So many were eager to comply. Unbelievable. Just unbelievable. I'll never forget. I left, yeah, they like the taste of boots.

I went to one allergist and I left one of my allergists, the one I previously went to during lockdown, because they did the whole make sure you have your mask on. And whenever they had the signs for masks and the health. like the doctor's offices and that were like the last places that that lifted that order.

So I'd go in and I just out of spite I would not wear my mask properly. I would literally wear it like crooked. Or I'd wear it where it's covering my neck, or it was like a pirate on one eye. I literally did that. And I would go in and I would just be like, I'm going to make you say something because this is so stupid.

I was not like belligerent at all. Not at all. I just was like I I dare you. And I literally would go in with my face panty like across one eye, like a pirate. 'Cause I'm twelve perpetually.

And they'd be like, Mom, you need to wear a mask. You need to hold a mask on here. Bring it down. For your faith, you saw New York pass that mask ban. Yeah, oh, now they don't want them because they're like, oh, we.

Just made it easier for the people to rob. No, I gotta wear this robber's mask now.

Now you need an actual religious or health exemption to have a mask. Not Religious exemption to not have it's unbelievable. They can't make up their minds. Oh man, we just made it to where people can rob us and nobody knows who they are. What do you think?

What do you think was going to happen? Never forget that never forget that Now In the meantime, You got uh The Wals, the Governor. And there were there's a video going around and people it's um squad cars going around and they were shooting paintballs at people that were on their front porches and people were saying it was because they were defying this state at home lockdown order. It was actually the the first time they decided to police after the George Floyd riots. That's what it was, the video that's going around.

Remember, he waited three days, so everything was like hell on earth. He waited for three days before he did anything. And then finally, he's like, well, I guess they better get control over this because my whole major city is burning. And then they decided they were gonna the best way to do it. You know, not to I guess they weren't worried about inflaming tensions.

It is to have the police walk through and then, just like, you know, if they see you on your porch, get inside, paintball. That's crazy. Right?

crazy They did that. That's on video. And then remember, audio sunbyte 21. Here's some flashback. Three Minneapolis police officers were testifying to the Minnesota Senate that Governor Tim Walls gave the order to let writers burn.

The MPD third precinct. Remember the police station that was being, you would, you saw it night after night, they kept attacking it. It was this one. Watch this. During the riots, the officers were told they could not wear protective frog suits, but were still hit and injured with bottles, cement, and more.

Sergeant Hedberg blamed state, city, and department leaders for the abandonment of the third precinct. I heard the governor say, give it up. It wasn't directly to me, it was through a phone call. No, the governor says give up the precinct. I mean that's That's demoralizing for this whole state.

And the three described a demoralized police force with dozens of officers planning to retire or quit. Mm-hmm. Give up the precinct, yep. Coward. I remember when that.

was I remember when that story hit. Yeah, give up the precinct. It's just, you know, because remember, this was the thought, and it was the Baltimore mayor. You saw this in Portland. There was this like general thought.

That if you just give the writers, you know, like a little space, you know, a little safe space, you know, play space. little safe place space. then it'll be okay. And that's not at all how that went. A couple of other things.

You got the Democratic National Convention just over a week away. Did you see the Barack Obama summer book reading list? No. You didn't? No.

Can I just read some of the things that Barack Obama had on his summer reading list?

Okay. Yeah.

Now, a couple of other things too. Uh, the Secret Service has apologized for breaking into a salon to access the restroom for a Kamala Harris fundraiser. This was kind of a wild thing to see. There's a video of it. They went into this Massachusetts salon.

They shut it down. They covered an agent, they covered her security camera with duct tape. They picked the lock of the salon so that they could use the bathroom for a two-hour period. And then after that, they removed the tape from the security camera. And the woman said that they were directing the Secret Service agent, was directing people to use her salon's bathroom without her authorization.

And it was they were there for a Kamala Harris fundraiser.

Now, the woman said, I knew that I needed to close my salon because I wanted all of the businesses right in this area to be closed. It's a secret service thing. But she did not anticipate. That they were actually going to break into her salon. And then use her bathroom and then allow everyone else to use it as the bathroom for their op.

For the entirety of the event without her permission. That's crazy. She said she felt violated. The business owner said she felt violated. It was on July 27th, ahead of Harris's first in-person fundraiser.

And it's the 413 salon. The owner is Alicia Powers. Business Insider did an interview with her. She's in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. And they Secret Service came in, they were looking at the area ahead of it.

They were advancing it. And she Harris spoke at this performing arts space. Near in the colonial theater, and she said that they had people in and out of here doing bomb suites. And she's like, I understand what they have to do due to the nature of the situation. She's telling Business Insider this.

And she says, you know, it was a little chaotic. We just made the decision to close for that Saturday. She's a salon. That's a big business day for her Saturday. Secret Service said that the agency's employees would not enter without permission, but then they had to admit, yeah, they taped over.

It was 8:10. Secret Service agent had no pin on her lapel. taped. The camera. and then picked the they and they picked the lock on the drawer.

And uh they If she started picking luck on the door and then noticed that the ring camera was watching her, and that's when she pulled up a chair, went uh, got a chair from on the porch and uh taped over the camera, the ring camera. And it's all on I mean, it's all on camera. The door was locked, but then there was another security camera inside of the building and it showed people entering over the course of two hours. And everybody was like going in, using her bathroom, you know, the whole the whole time. And the salon security alarm rang the whole time.

The security footage from the two cameras doesn't show. Uh It showed that people were in and out. She said, for an hour and a half just using her bathroom. The alarms are going off. They used her counter with no permission.

She said when they were done using the bathroom, they left her building completely unlocked. What in the hell is going on with Secret Service? That's they don't have the right to do that. She said it was sheer disregard for her business. Unbelievable.
