Friday September 6 - Full Show

Let me tell you why I don't think a blanket tax and unrealized gain is a good thing. I mean, let's say you're an entrepreneur. You create a company. It gets to $100 million or $200 million on paper.

Now, if you're taxing that, you're probably going to force that person to sell it. They're probably going to sell it to private equity. Do you really want the entrepreneurs to be forced to sell their companies to larger institutions and to decline in value? I just, I don't think that that's what you want for a startup. That's Roe Conna, who's a Democrat.

And he's I don't even know what just happened there. He's actually saying something that's not stupid. He's talking about. the unrealized Uh the tax that Kamala Harris is promoting on Unrealized. gains and And he disagrees with it?

it's a Democrat that disagrees with it. Is there perhap per chance Some discord? amongst the members of the left. as it pertains to these economic policies that are being Promoted? I don't know.

I've got some. questions. It's a very confusing Friday. Welcome to the program. Dana Lash here with you.

I saw that. I was like, no. Because I think that's one. I think he actually is one of the. uh first Democrats maybe.

to really uh disagree with her proposal. on merit. You know, and I think do so. intelligibly I'm just shocked because it's a Democrat that's doing it and I just I don't know.

So welcome to the program. Dana Lash with you. We're at the top of this. First hour. As it pertains to the program.

So happy Friday to you. Yeah, the property taxes is a tax on unrealized gains. We're going to get to that. It makes Keynes making note of that. The whole argument angers me.

So welcome. You know, you can also. Uh Listen, if you all you're listening to the radio program terrestrially, we're also at 347 Direct TV and X and Rumble and all that good stuff.

So, a few things to update you on. First and foremost, obviously, we're all barreling towards that debate next week. The whole entire week, I feel. Like coming up is going to be just about that. I really feel like it's going to be entirely about Uh uh that debate and preparing for it and how insane That's going to be.

I really feel like the whole week is going to be sucked up by that. And then, of course. you're gonna have the the insane spin. from the left on Harris, depending on how Poorly, she does. But I feel like this week they're using this week to kind of defend.

And Shore up her uh policies Ahead of the debate, like they're feeling out where the holes are that they think they can argue, right? And so the whole situation with the capital gains and unrealized gains tax and property tax being similar to that. That's so stupid. That's an absolute joke. Because property tax, first off, I mean, all of it's unconstitutional, but property taxes, though, you get something for that.

I mean, to compare property tax, which is something that is real, which is an asset, to a completely Arbitrary, non-existent thing, you see how that doesn't work, right? But that's the situation that people find themselves in when they insist on making those comparisons.

So some of the polling. It's still very close. This is why we don't have time to mess around with anything else. Trump needs to be everything needs to be about the ec uh economy with him and immigration. You're smirking over there, Kane, why?

I saw what Nate Silver put out last night. And it's showing a larger gap now. A larger gap. A larger gap. If you believe he, but was Nate Silver correct, though, in 2022 and 2018.

When people are polled and they're asked about Trump, the natural reaction for most people. You've said this for three, four years. That's why I don't work that much. It didn't work in 2022 because everyone, we were promised this like red deluge and it never happened. We were promised a red tsunami.

It never happened. 2020, we were told, oh my gosh, it's going to be more votes for Republicans than you've ever seen in your life. Exactly. And how weird. I didn't say that somebody else did.

It didn't materialize like that. It's so weird.

Well, and there's, I mean, if you look at split ticket voting, there's some explanations for that.

So My whole point is that I don't want anyone to feel like this is in the bag, and I see too many people. I see too many people doing that. It it's it's too many people are doing it. And it's Close, the whole Nate Silver thing is close. But I'm having Kane Turner prop.

It's literally blinding me in my face. I can't even see you. It's like someone has a strobe light right over there. It's a giant metal grenade, and the spotlight, the lights in the studio were hitting it to the point where I was like blinded.

So I'm like, can you use Semi-Turn? It's that brilliant chrome. That's sweet chrome. That's sweet chrome. No, my whole point is that people are like, oh, look at the surveys, the gap is widening.

Okay, look, our work is done. Shut up! I There are people who, I'm not kidding you, I'm getting that vibe, not from you guys particularly.

Some people out there, and you know who some of them are, I feel like they're putting that out there. I had a friend who was saying, well, Who's on Facebook? I hate getting on Facebook, by the way. I hate Facebook so bad. I hate everything social media-wise, which is weird because I think it really helped.

Uh put me where I am, which is uh ironic. It's become horrible. It's Frankenstein's monster. Anyway, long story short, I hate Facebook because people get on there. And if you don't like so-and-so's posts, so-and-so is offended.

I don't live on Facebook. Right, and I hate when people share news and do all this stuff on Facebook, and then they act like that's the same thing as texting you or calling you, can't stand it anyway. I know I'm 90. But I had a friend who was on Facebook saying, Oh, did you see? and they were citing the Nate Silver.

And that's just one, by the way. But they were citing some of the Nate Silver surveys. And my friend was saying, well, look, you know, this is all going to wash out. I forget how I took a screenshot. This is all going to wash out in the end, and the gap will widen ever more.

Don't listen to what the media is telling you about about cl the the close the close numbers. Mike, first off, you didn't even read any of these. I know for a fact you didn't. Why are you sitting here speaking like any in any position of authority on this? You didn't go and look at the crosstabs.

You didn't go and look at the demographics. You didn't look to see where they pulled from. You didn't look to see the age ranges. You didn't even look deep enough into the methodology to see if it was a phone survey or not. Because there are different kinds.

So I'm looking at this and I'm like, wait a minute, what are you doing here? Why are you telling people this? Why are you telling people that it's all going to wash out and it's okay? You're giving people this like false sense of hope.

Now here's the thing. When you're looking at polls, and like Nate Silver, Nate Silver used to do 538 for New York Times. And then they, going up into 2016, he was actually correct in 2016. And he was telling Democrats you can't disregard, particularly in those blue wall states, you can't disregard. where the left and where independents are kind of coming down on.

And Democrats did it anyway, and then they got mad at Nate Silver because they thought that apparently he knew something they didn't, because he was accurately observing what was happening and they were too close and too blind to see it. But he is a prognosticator. All of these people are. And their industry is built on Who claims to have the best methodology. You have to remember that.

It is still an industry. That is a business too. It is an industry. And it is, there are so many variables. It gets varied.

It is Something that is entirely dependent literally upon the news of the day. It is as volatile as Wall Street. That's what makes it incredibly difficult to pinpoint a lot of this stuff. I mean What was it, Yogi Bear? It was like it's difficult to make predictions, especially Uh about the feature.

I mean, you got to think about this stuff. It's hinged upon what happens that particular given day.

So by the time you're getting. Survey results. They're pretty much a week old, which is like decades old in political polling time. But all of these people, it's an industry of prognosticators. That's exactly what it is.

They are determining the odds. And everyone insists that their methods of determining the odds are better than the other guy's methods of determining the odds. And so some of them have better records than others. Nobody has a perfect record. And he even says And I will give Nate Silver credit.

He's not like some of these other cats out there who insist that they know exactly what the lay of the land is and that their way is the best way. I mean, he literally says in the piece that Kane was referencing and that a lot of people were citing this morning and last night: well, who's going to win the election? And he writes: quote, well, honestly, we don't know. We can give our best probabilistic guess. And that's what they say.

That's it.

Now they Are saying that Trump has odds better, uh, better odds than Kamala Harris right now. They're not. It's not massively different. I mean, it's literally like a point away from mark in the standard margin of error. But he's arguing that Trump has a better chance of winning than Kamala Harris does at this moment.

And as I can't I can't stress this enough. This is literally, I said this yesterday. It's a surveys are a snapshot in time. This is a snapshot in time, and it is not that much of a lead at this snapshot in time. It is not.

Look at the lay of the land. Holy hell, guys. We're broke and the border is open. Why is it only this far apart? And the reason I caution you on saying that everything is cheating is because that's the best way to keep you from looking at what the r at some of the other contributors to the cause here.

If Republicans don't understand how to manage split ticket voting, they'll continue to lose. Democrats are completely fine with that. I know that if I'm going up against a political opponent, I want them to not pay attention to. The thing that is truly plaguing them. And I want them to pay attention to all this ancillary stuff that, you know, whether it has that much of an impact or not remains to be seen.

But we definitely know that these other issues do. I just don't want them paying attention to those other issues. I don't want them to stop the leak in their boat. And the RNC And everyone else is too, honestly, the right has gotten too tribal. I don't even know if the right can deal with split ticket voting.

Everyone gets so damn butthurt over everything, and they don't realize that pointing out. A serious leak in your boat is not an attack, and it's not an affront, and it's not someone trying to offend someone else. It's do you want to win? Then stop it. It's it's that.

So these surveys are a snapshot in time. And If you look at even if you look at 538s. Let me pull this up. his silver bulletin. I mean, you can see that this goes back in June, the gap was bigger.

It's actually narrowed. It's actually I mean narrowed s uh significantly since May.

Now, there's a number of things that could be a result of that because you have switched out Joan Kamala. You know, then you had the DNC. She added her VP. That really wasn't, she didn't get really much of a bounce from the convention, though. But definitely, since she's been in the race, That gap has narrowed.

So when we're talking about the number of points between them Again, it's a snapshot in time. It's this specific week, essentially. And why is it that it's narrowed just even in the past month? He's in the lead, but it's narrowed. Is that a trend?

Is that a one-off? No one's asking those very important questions. You can't just be like, oh, he's in the lead. That's it.

Okay, wait a minute. Is it a narrowed lead? If so, why, where, who are the surveys that reported it, what is the demo of those surveys, where were they pulled from, etc. Do you see how all of this stuff factors in? We got a lot to hit.

at least amongst it all, the polling. We're also going to get into the latest. We got a lot, a lot, a lot of information about this killer in Georgia. A lot of new information. In an era where daily election headlines and political turmoil can create a sense of unrest, having a peaceful retreat is more important than ever.

So Johnny Cash is going to have a statue unveiled in the Capitol. According to MSN, a statue depicting Johnny Cash departed for Arkansas, departed Arkansas for Washington on Thursday. State officials gave the bronze figure a send-off towards its new home at the U.S. Capitol. It said they had Cash's family outside the Capitol as well to watch this statue being moved.

As a nation. We cannot continue to accept the carnage of gun violence. I'm a gun owner. I believe strongly in the amendment.

And the amendment goes sports.

Some of my Republican friends in Congress are just finally having a lot of people. I can't listen to him anymore.

Sorry. I was going to try to see this all the way out. I believe in the amendment. What sir, you know, the amendment. Like go sports.

Did you watch the sports team yesterday, Kane? The sports's teams. That they they had a match. Did you watch it? And one of them had a score down.

Yay! And they won the game, right? Go team. Go team, rah, rah. I support the amendment.

Where's his damn tie? Did you see that? I don't. Juan, put that up again. Just show it.

Yeah. Why is he dressed like that? I have probably the most controversial opinion I'm ever going to have in my life. And he Keep it up there, Juan. And some of you out there in Radioland are going to get really mad at me right now.

Drink your drink, Kane. Go ahead, take that sip. You're about to what?

Some people are gonna get really mad at me. It is the most controversial thing I will have ever said on this show. And some of you out there are probably gonna turn me off. Here it is. I don't want to see no old man neck.

Button your damn shirt. I don't want to see that turkey neck sticking out that collar. I don't want to see it. Button it up. That's why the Lord gave you a button up there.

Thank you. Just button it up. I don't want to see the waddle. I'm looking at our live waddle, baby, waddle, baby, waddle, baby. Waddle.

I don't want to see it. I don't want to see it. I don't want to see it gyrate like a stripper in between that collar while you're talking. I don't want to see it. You thought people would tune out.

I'm looking at the live numbers here. We're actually getting an incredible. I'm just saying, I don't like old man neck with an open shirt collar like that. If you're going to go to, if you're wearing a dark colored jacket, number one, and then you're wearing that chambray, I'm going to get so wet. You're wearing the chambray shirt.

Okay, that's not a casual color. It's not a casual jacket, and this is not a casual setting. You need a tie.

Furthermore, when your neck be hanging that low, you need to be buttoning up that button. The good Lord gave you a button right there. Use it. Hallelujah. Use it.

That's all I'm saying. All I'm saying. You set it up as an unpopular picture. It is because some people are going to be like, she's talking about my old man Nick. And then they're going to get real upset because that's how people in internet land, not you guys, but that's how some people, you all know, because you deal with them every day.

You say something and they're like, well, why do you hate me? And it's like, I'm not even talking about you. What? Even if you were talking about me, I'd be like, Yeah, you know what? My old old man turkey.

But you know what I mean? It just looks disrespectful. I get real old school about this stuff. You're wearing a dark color jacket, button-up idiom shirt. I don't want to be seeing that, especially when your neck's looking like that.

Good night. You see the president and everything? Jeez, I'm telling you. I don't know. Maybe he doesn't think he is.

Who knows? I don't know. Can we stop having the people who are leaders speak facing full sun too? That'd be great. I mean, you know, just turn it at an angle.

Tell me who's advancing this stuff. Remember the time that he was over and I think it was like one of the previous G7s?

Something like that. And he was over, where was it in France? And he was speaking, and he was like legit melting under the sun. He was sweating so bad. It was like watching a candle sweat.

Yeah, that was so bad. That mask was pulling double duty there. Juan says he's going for the Playboy look. I don't even know what type of Playboy you're referencing, sir. Don't even know what that is.

That's the difference between the two generations. I was like, man, he's got that Saturday Night Fever chest. No, he has to have. No, not if he was doing that, you know what he's missing, Kane, too. Medallion and chest hair.

Thank you. Well, because the chest hair is the nest. for the gold medallion. That's what it is. It's the nest.

Is that what it is? It's like a bird's nest, but of just human hair for the medallion to be placed. You know, it's like when you order something in the mail and it's like valuable. Like that lamp, right, from uh Christmas story and they had all that straw in it. It's like that.

It's packed up, you know. Anyway. What was the oh, the amendment. I we we got some unsettling Things here about this killer's father in the family in Georgia.

So the father was arrested yesterday. This came out yesterday evening. The father, I'm not going to say the kid's name because I do believe in the copycat effect. I mean, that's a proven thing. But the father, Colin Gray, He's been arrested on multiple counts.

54 years old, he faces four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second-degree murder, eight counts of cruelty to children. He apparently. was uh reported to be super abusive. Super abusive. I'm going to say that sound bite.

Super abusive to his son, all of this. And we're going to talk about these charges here a little bit coming up with my friend Andrew Branca because this. I made mention of this on social media. It's kind of like the Crumbly effect. You know the Ethan Crumbly case.

I'm only going to say his name once. His parents were also convicted, and it was related to. the negligence in essentially facilitating His acquisition of a weapon when he was really, I mean, you know, legally barred from having it. And you know, he went out and did what he did, a tragedy.

So. This particular case, this seems really similar to me. Because in m in in the Crumbley case that I mean, the parents were just convicted in, uh April, I think. I think it was in April that they were convicted. And this is another case and I feel like the Crumley case is setting a precedent for it.

Where parents are being held responsible. If there is negligence involved. And that's the thing. We have negligence laws. And if it's actionable under negligence laws, then it's actionable.

That's why I keep saying you don't need all of these other additional laws. And the reason. Why this individual going by the charging docks has facing these charges is because even after. Uh his son had previously made death threats. And these were felonious level.

I mean, going online and saying that you're going to shoot and kill people at your school and being very specific with stuff. To the point where the FBI comes out to interview you. The dad apparently was defending his kid, saying, Well, there's no way it could have been him. No way. The kid made the comments on Discord.

Which is just a facilitation of communication. And a lot of people try to act like, oh, he was a gamer. We don't even know that he played any video games, just that he was on Discord, which is sometimes used by gamers.

Sometimes it's like a for discussion. But He made this he made that comment on Discord and The FBI came out to his house and the dad was defending him. And they were struggling. I think they were struggling to pinpoint the origin of the po the post-origin or to prove beyond any reasonable doubt that it was that it was definitively him. He was the one who did post this because he was denying it six ways to Sunday, which sorry, I don't believe you.

I think he totally did it. I mean, considering now, especially.

So after that Uh they said because the FB the Jackson County Sheriff Giannis Magnum said that They couldn't bring charges at the time. They said we did all. uh we could with what we had at the time.

Now keep that in mind. Keep that. on the burner.

So The dad then afterwards goes and purchases a rifle for his son. Because the kid, being 14 years old, can't go and buy it himself. He's 14 years old. You have to be 18 to go and make that purchase, and you can't carry it because you're not 18.

So he goes and purchases. The This rifle for his son. And this is why these negligence laws are coming into play, or the ancillary negligence laws are coming into play here, and why he's being charged with this. You know, clearly the kid, I think, had maybe mental health issues, but he was evil. I mean, that's for certain.

He was evil. I'm going to say something that also might be considered controversial. I don't care how messed up your home life is. There are a lot of people that come from a lot of broken homes around this country, and there are a lot of people that had abusive parents in this country. And that does not make every kid a murderer or potential murderer.

People have choices. And if you're 14 years old, you're not a moron. This kid is just evil. And so The dad buys him a rifle. Knowing all of this.

The dad was apparently abusive. Knowing all of this, the Dad buys him a rifle. The mom is MIA. Mom sounds like a real piece of work. This this woman This female Marcy Gray.

She's been in and out of prison. She's got an arrest record. She's got meth issues in vehicle theft, drug trafficking, all kinds of stuff. She's got a serious pattern of criminal behavior. I mean And they've the the marriage they separated after 14 years Apparently there was domestic abuse in that as well.

I mean, the h the whole thing is a mess.

Now I go back to The FBI or the local law enforcement saying that we did all we could with what we had at the time. Everything. Everything. Begins in the home. Everything.

In this particular situation, I I do question whether or not they were able Or, what efforts they put into determining that he made these original threats. I also question as to what other actions this 14-year-old undertook that perhaps could have validated seeking To adjudicate him, a prohibited possessor, or, well, he's already a prohibited possessor, seeking to adjudicate him and having him committed. I think there were probably a lot of other things there that would have fit the existing legal framework. to have him committed. or criminal activity to have him Uh detained.

And sent a Juvie. Because Law enforcement saying, well, we did all we could with what we had at the time.

Sometimes Sometimes that's accurate.

Sometimes it's the parents that are supposed to be the ones who are acting.

Sometimes it's the family that are supposed to be the ones who are acting and who are intervening. Not just on behalf of their loved ones, but on behalf of helping to keep the public safe too from their loved ones. That doesn't mean that you have to give up your rights because his mom was a POS. Because his dad was an abusive son of a bitch doesn't mean that you got to give up your rights. Why should I be rendered defenseless because this guy beat his wife and kid and didn't parent and didn't step up and be a dad.

Why should you? This has nothing to do with the Second Amendment. Absolutely nothing. Guns have been banned for over 30 years on school grounds. This school system was one that did not allow for qualified teacher carry.

Further, This guy is being charged With crimes related to negligence in this whole case, it is not a Second Amendment issue. It is an issue of bad Parenting. And I had a listener bring this up, and this is why I wanted to bring on Andrew Branca later on in the program. A really smart listener. made the point of, okay, well Now if we're going to Doing this.

If we're going to arrest these parents, which some parents are negligent. Why don't we start arresting the parents of gang members who are killing people? I mean, is this going to be a consistent policy? Why don't we also start there? What about the parents?

who are letting their kids run wild in the streets. involved in drug trafficking and gang crime. Are we going to start charging those parents too? That's a genuine question. Remember, everything starts at home.

We're going to talk about this with Andrew Branca. and also he was charged as an adult. And some people were questioning that. You know, there are times when. A juvenile commits a crime and it is elevated to that of an adult charge.

And that's, from what I understand, when the charges, when the crimes are so egregious. that the penalty afforded by the juvenile system is just not enough. And I think that that's incredibly applicable in this case now. The way that Georgia law is, he is not eligible for the death penalty.

So he can have life in prison with the possibility of parole or life in prison without the possibility of parole. Those are the strictest. Penalties that he can get because at the time that the crime was committed, and he is, you know, just now only 14, it's measured by when the time of the crime was committed, what age the perpetrator was. And if they're under age 18, then they're ineligible for the death penalty.

So he's four years off from the death penalty, being eligible for that. Imagine if you had a GPS for your body's engine in your hands. That's exactly what you get with Lumen, the world's first handheld metabolic coach. Lumen is a breath-based metabolism tracker. It's little tiny, see?

Yeah. Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States.

So I was there in some ways. I wasn't there because I was really trying to focus on, okay, man, there's a lot of people here. There's so much energy, the signs, and I have to get up there somehow. And so when I saw her come out, I was like, what? But my new best friend, Tim Walls, is right next to me, and he's just losing his mind.

You won't Between that and jazz hands, geez. I don't know. I I I they're just so it's this is weird. It's weird. It's weird.

It's weird. That was uh what is his second dude? Doug M Hoff. Right? Yeah.

That's Kamala Harris's husband. That's Mr. Kamala Harris. Who is uh It was Okay. What's his name?

Colbert, right? No, that dude is uh that was Kimmel. Kimmel, that's right, Jimmy Kemmel. They're all the same to me. All those days look the same to me.

Colbert, Kimmel's not as much of a jackwagon, so I give him a pass. Uh That's his new best friend. Tim Walls is his new best friend.

Meanwhile, they've lost hundreds of thousands of jobs and children, and they have no idea where any of them are. Think about this. They legit lost like hundreds of thousands of kids that they brought over the border. No idea where they went. Nobody's asking them.

But hey, what is that? What do they keep talking about that Project 25 or thing? Whatever it is. Yeah, they keep talking about that, but don't pay attention to the hundreds of thousands of missing kids. They also made up almost a million jobs that just didn't even exist.

They also made that up too.

So they lost. What, 300,000 kids? Almost 300,000 kids. And they made up about a million jobs. act like they created them.

Out of the ether. They just pulled them out of the air. Made it up. And the media's like But Trump Or they're they're upset about J.D. Vance or something.

I don't know. What do they get mad about? Oh, the Associated Press. We're going to talk about that. The Associated Press.

ran this story. It was really ridiculous. They had this story where And they deleted it.

So you're not, don't look for it because you're not going to find it. Because they took it off. They had a horrible, misleading headline and story and tweet where they said that J.D. Vance says school shootings are a fact of life and calls for better security. When actually his direct quote was: I don't like that this is a fact of life.

is what he said. That's different. You do however much you hate. The legacy press, it is not enough. They did this on purpose.

What remember I told you, they live off of these headlines. Just saying, we got more on this coming up. Also, we'll be talking to my friend Andrew Branca. about this Charging of the parents in the Georgia case, and this is the second. Case now, after the Crumley case in Michigan, where we see this happening, we're going to talk to him about this.

And does this mean that, you know, can we now start going after gangbangers' parents? Is that going to allow? Will that precedent establish maybe the pathway to do that? We got that more coming up. Stick with us.

So look. You go off to Yale, you get a philosophy major, you write a best-selling book, Trash the Very People You Grew Up With. Just don't come back to Erie and tell us how to run our lives. Is it going to come out that he tried to go to Yale and was rejected or something? Because he is obsessed.

with just running down people. And the upward economic mobility. He is just obsessed. with trashing it. Welcome back to the program.

Dana last year with you at the top of the second hour. That was TNM and Tim Waltz there. Who's I like that butter? That's my favorite one. He's trashing again.

J.D. Vance for, and not really just JD Vance. I mean, I think anybody that fits the mold of upward mobility. I mean, he just says that they're a sellout. You're a sellout if you.

Work hard and you make it to where you can go to school, and you're not saddling anyone else with your debt. You're a sellout. Yeah, they do. Democrats hate upward mobility. They hate it.

Because they don't want you, we've talked about this before, they don't want you to believe that you can get anywhere without their help. Because that means there's a limit to how much they can control you. And it also means that you're willing to ask questions and you're willing to work in your own best interest. And if you're acting in your own best interest, you're not acting in their best interest. See, they don't have your interests in mind.

It's their interests, it's their agenda. They just pretend that they're one and the same with your best interests, and they're not. You know that's going to come out. That'll be the next thing. Tim Walz applied for Yale and was rejected.

You know that's going to happen. I feel like that's like the latest in this. Good night. He's I think this is Part and parcel, this campaign. If it's not them hating upward mobility, they hate.

Uh I mean, they they hate and call it joy. I keep hearing the joy thing. They keep...

Some of the surrogates on this morning were talking about it. Do you realize that this is basically the Live, Laugh, Love campaign? She's a damn target sign. That's all it is. Live, laugh, love.

It's the Live, Laugh, Love campaign joy. Joy, love. Live, laugh, joy, love. Joy, live, laugh. Hmm, love.

That's Those are all good things, though, right? Sure.

Well they well they Bend you over a barrel and rob you. Live life, love, joy. Live life, love, joy. They keep pushing joy. I've never seen any.

Everybody that I know whose name is Joy is not.

Well, with the exception of maybe one person. Who writes over the Federalist? But everybody else. They are joyless. Think about it.

Joy Behar, that one chick that wears that, uh Simple Jack Wig on uh MSNBC. What's her face? Not Joy Behar. What is her? I don't even know what her.

I can't remember her. Simple Jack Joy. Simple Joy. Joyless Reed? Is that yeah, are you talking about sunny?

No, the chick with the simple jack hair.

So Well You're talking about the hero. This is how Kane has to like try to detective, the detective work Kane has to do. I'll be like, you know, that person. And he's like, what? Most people mean she looks like Simple Jack.

With our hair. It's like it's like The corn silk. You know what her name is? Her name is Joy something. When oh my gosh, don't tell me internet, everyone's gonna I'll be besieged by it.

I love all the people named Joy. It's kind of like how they name spending bills. It's exactly exactly opposite of what they actually are, right?

Well, and Biden admitted, speaking to that the other day, that the inflation The Reduction Act was not at all about inflation reduction. He did this. Audio 7 by 1. Listen. My uh my investments that through my investments, the most significant climate change law ever And by the way, it is a $369 billion bill.

It's called. We should have named it what it was. But you know. Oh That lame duck Biden is more honest than the regular Biden. This uh turkey neck biting DGAF, man.

Wow, we should have really named it what it was. That's an ad. Cut, run. That's an ad. That is an ad.

Wow, we shoulda'n named it what it was. We're gonna throw all your money into the sun to placate the sun god. That's what it is. You realize that climate change isn't that far off from just throwing people in volcanoes? Think of it.

Like we gotta spend all this money. On the weather. That's what we got to do. We're going to spend the money. We need your money.

You got to, you're going to go and plant saplings for every mile that you. Undertake on a jet. No one does that. You all know that's a bunch of, that's so nonsense. It's the modern, it's the.

It's the uh modern day indulgence, is all it is. That's all it is. Right? It's the modern day indulgence. We're just going to plant those saplings.

Honestly, I'm angrier that I didn't get into that grift. I'm mad that it's a grift I should have gotten into. They're going out there and selling them indulgences. Every mile you drive, we're gonna plant this plant. I'm gonna put a tree in the ground here.

Look at that, we love the earth, look at us hugging the earth, we love it. No, but it's um It is not that much different from throwing virgins and volcanoes. At this point. We gotta fling some money into the sun guys. That'll make the sun god uh less angry.

He needs to nom some m nom some cash. He's got the munchies for some cash, and he needs the cash to to make him not obliterate the planet with hotness.

So. Can you guys send some Funds his way. I'm going to throw it into the magma. It's convincing science. Into the space magma.

So imagine flaunting the Inflation Reduction Act on Tuesday, which hasn't even reduced any food or energy costs. Yeah. Hasn't done anything since the Inflation Reduction Act.

Well, look how much it reduced.

Well, it's got to go up a whole hell of a lot, and then it's going to come down at some point, maybe.

So frustrating, I can't believe I'm laughing. Oh, you have to because you'll throw yourself off your roof if you don't.

So frustrating. We're just going to laugh our way off the edge of the roof. That's what we're doing. That's all we're doing right here. I but it is true.

I I mean everything is I gosh. I did a every now and then I have to do so. I get my basic supplies at Costco, right? I have to do some things. I gotta get some stuff at Costco.

We've been going through paper tiles like crazy lately because our dog, Wick, is insane. We love him. He's very smart. He's learning. He's a very smart pup.

But he also is a very rebellious preteen and he just doesn't care. Much like Biden with his turkey neck and his collar open, doesn't care. But he, so I went and I made this order at Costco, and it's one that I make. I've made, it's like the same order because it's your basic mass quantities of goods that you know that you're going to go through and know that you're going to use, right?

So you have like your, you know, your paper towels. And I love, I'm obsessed with buying. Don't Misunderstand this. like bleach products in bulk. I'm just like, why not?

I can use it for so many things. There's so many activities I can use this for. Like, this is great. You know, murder amongst them. I'm kidding.

But, you know, you get it in and you get, you get all your stuff. And there's other things that I get too. Like, they have really good produce at Costco. Anyway, not a Costco commercial. But I've noticed I have watched my bill go up.

over the course of the past couple of years. And it is almost double what it was. Just about double. For the same little list of groceries that I have purchased. Over two plus years, maybe with the addition of like uh I Here or there, paper plates, or something like that.

Like, you know, every now and then, like, I'll have something just like a little thing added onto it. It's almost double. What it was. People are broke. And then to have him go out there, we should have called it what it was, didn't actually reduce inflation.

It didn't do anything like that at all. Had no impact.

Well, now they're being honest about it. But we were called conspiracy theorists, though, when we said that. You know? We were We were called conspiracy. Ferris.

Audio Soundbite 14, the debate. this this coming up week. You had over on NBC. What's her face? Nora O'Donnell.

She was saying that Harris's T they really wanted those muted mics, and here's why. Of course, as you pointed out, these were rules that were originally agreed to when Joe Biden was intending to run and were used during the first debate from June 27th. And so, to some degree, the Trump campaign, in just the simple art of negotiation, doesn't like to give up something it already had, while the Harris campaign really viewed this as a new opportunity with a new candidate to try to set up a dialogue and an interchange that would benefit the American people. And from their point of view, they think open minds work better. They wanted they felt open mics, they wanted a dialogue and an interview what what?

She just wanted a moment. She just wanted a moment to be able to say, he interrupted me, or something to that effect. That's all she wanted. She just that's exi that's the only reason why They wanted that.

So she doesn't get to have her little sit-down with her notepad. I don't think they can bring note. What did they get? Like a piece of paper, something to that effect? I don't think they get to bring like a notepad or something like that up, right?

I think so. Yeah. So. She's Gotta stand there and Be quick-witted. We're gonna have so many sound bites from this, it's gonna Sorry, Juan.

It's going to be insane. gonna be insane. But it's true. And uh This is what Vance alluded to when he was addressing this with the muted mics in the debate. Listen.

Over the last few weeks, Kamala Harris has been trying to change the rules on the debate. She wants to change everything because she knows that unless she gets the rules that she wants, unless she has a bias set up, the American people are going to reject her. But you know what she really wants to do? And look out for this on September the 10th. She really wants a moment where she can interrupt Donald Trump and say, I'm speaking.

Because That's exactly what she wants. She wants that. She wants to be able to interrupt and say, I'm speaking You're gonna be oh girl power Oh Yeah. That's lame when you are trying to orchestrate your big campaign moment, not about. Wowing the public with policy solutions.

practical solutions, but engaging in rhetorical Just pettiness. That's so lame, but that's all they have. That's all they have. And meanwhile, people were hemorrhaging jobs, so they're making it up. They've lost hundreds of thousands of kids at the border.

Just a nightmare. Coming up after headlines, Andrew Branca is going to be joining me because this case. In Georgia, the dad, the killer's father. was charged. And I'm wondering, well, I guess the mom was in and out of prison, so that alone may have her escape a charge on this.

But this gets into kind of that crumbly precedent coming out of Michigan, that case where the parents were charged after that. teenager went and murdered people.

So is this going to be something that Could it be used against gangbanger parents? Or does it not extend that far? The consistency? I'm just curious. We're going to talk to Andrew Branca about that.

So in Rome, they're trying to figure out how to manage the crowds around the famous Trevi Fountain, which is kind of in the heart of the city. The Eternal City is considering charging people two Euros, which is like $2.25 a ticket, to access this open-air fountain.

So if you get on one of the nine steps that leads to the edge of the fountain, they would charge you. And Romans, for Romans, it's free. But they said that they were trying to figure out how to do it because people are there always feeding pigeons, which you're not supposed to do because the pigeon excrement actually is super damaging to all the stonework that make all the monuments and all this stuff. And they don't want people jumping in the stupid fountain. They don't want people jumping in the fountain.

It's so dumb. They have people that try to recreate that La Dolce Vita, Fellini's La Dolce Vita, by jumping in the Trevi Fountain. You can't do that. That's a fine. And a lot of people, sometimes they try to climb on it and they actually will damage the marble and the stone that's around it.

So they're trying to figure out how to better manage it. But I think that might be a little different. Difficult too, because it's a pretty big area, and that's a pretty big area unless they're going to enclose it. I don't know how they're going to charge people as they go up to those steps, but very interesting nonetheless. Also, DirecTV's dispute might prevent millions of people from watching next week's debate.

subscribers to DirecTV, they may not actually be able to see it. They said that more than 11 million subscribers nationwide saw their ABC channel go dark on September 1st because Walt Disney and the set and DragTV are in a carriage dispute. This is the carriage dispute that Newsmax was saying was costing it its First Amendment right. And I'm like, it's literally a contract dispute. Why are you stop it?

It's not a First Amendment thing. It's this is exactly what this is: it's a carriage dispute. They said that their contract expired on September 1st. They're going back and forth over prices and all this stuff. And apparently, they don't have any other negotiations underway, a source told one of the outlets.

And so ABC are hosting that one and only debate. ABC is Disney-owned, so they may not carry it.

So we'll see. May have to watch C-SPAN or something. Or, you know, yeah, maybe. I think Democrats are okay with that. Yeah, I think Democrats are totally fine.

Uh a water buffalo became a local celebrity because it escaped slaughter. Aw, I want a water buffalo pet. It's an Iowa, it's a folk hero type figure now. The animal was also shot by police. Residents in Pleasant Hill, Iowa, first spotted the water buffalo in the middle of the road.

You know, they're kind of unusual in the area, so it was a little weird. And they said they started tracking it, they named him Phil. After their city, Pleasant Hill. And police were alerted to it. They said at first he was aggressive and dangerous.

They didn't want him to cause a car accident, public safety, so on and so forth. They shot him in the belly, but he was wounded, but he still was able to evade. And then now he's kind of a folk hero.

Now he seems meek, not violent, and they're taking care of him. And I guess they rehabilitated him. And now he's like a. Town hero. Isn't that nice?

I want a pet water buffalo now. Parkinson's may begin in the gut, says a study, adding to growing evidence about where a lot of these diseases originate. Gastrointestinal problems. They talk about how it's common in patients that have neurodegenerative disorders to the point where it's called institutional colon. Lots of colon stuff, right?

I'm telling you. Parkinson's, all kinds of stuff. The entire gastrointestinal tract is affected apparently in Parkinson's. And so now they're looking at gut issues and trying to figure out how they can anticipate and get ahead of some of this stuff. Kane just made the big probiotics super happy, didn't you?

in connection to the shooting here at Appalachie High School. Colin is Colt Gray's father that was arrested yesterday. He is charged with the following. Four counts of involuntary manslaughter. Two counts of second-degree murder.

and eight counts of cruelty to children. Mr. Gray, these charges stem from Mr. Gray knowingly allowing his son Colt to possess a weapon.

So, a lot of developments just in the past 24 hours in this case, this horrible tragedy coming out of Georgia involving this 14-year-old who killed four individuals, two students, two adults there in Barrow County, Georgia. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. Bottom of this second hour. It's something we've talked about, just the latest developments quite a bit.

And then this charge came out last night against the dad, and you heard law enforcement there detailing some of this. A lot of this is being compared to the Crumley case. In Michigan, where that killer's parents were just convicted, I believe, last April for essentially. Culpability in the murder of other innocents by their son. And I know that there are, on its face, it looks like there are some similarities in these cases.

I think that there are some big differences, obviously, in these cases. But it does bring up a very compelling question. Should parents Of these minors who are murderers, are they liable? I know there are negligence laws and things like that that come into play, but there have been a lot of criticisms about the Crumley case and the way that the prosecution argued that. And so, I wanted to talk to a legal expert about this, our friend Andrew Branca, who you can find on X at Law of Self-Defense.

He is a self-defense attorney and a legal expert, lawofselfdefense.com. Andrew, I really appreciate you joining us on this. I kind of wanted to get your thoughts on the charges for the dad. A lot of people are comparing it to the Crumley case. I know I have I I've read a lot of criticism of the way that that case was prosecuted.

Is this the new precedent where are we charging parents and is that in this particular case the right legal pathway?

Well So, parents are not automatically criminally responsible for everything their kids do. That's not the way the law works. The parent has to have some independent criminal culpability in order to be held criminally liable. And it's not hard to imagine how that could occur, right? Imagine you have a teenage son, and you're sitting with your son, and you're both getting drunk at the kitchen table.

And he says he wants to drive to go see his girlfriend, and you say, Here are the car keys. Go ahead, son. I know you're drunk, but you go ahead and drive the car. And then he runs somebody over and kills them. You would have culpability there.

You know, he's intoxicated. You know, he shouldn't be driving. You're facilitating his ability to do that. I think we would all agree the parent there would bear some criminal responsibility. That's different than if the kid just sneaks around and grabs the key and the parent doesn't know, right?

Those are two different fact situations. In these cases, we're talking about Allegations where the parent is claimed to know the child is violently unstable and provides that child with a gun, and then the child uses that gun to kill people. That's the parallel there. Yeah. Affirmatively allowing the kid to drive drunk.

Now, I know why people in the Second Amendment community, gun owners, are very sensitive about this because we know the gun controllers will come up with any scheme they can imagine, whether based on legal merit or not, to punish gun owners.

So we want to be very sensitive. We're not falling into a trap being laid by the gun control community. But the fact is, it's possible for a parent to be engaged in reckless culpability, knowing culpability for misconduct. They have reason to believe their kid is going to engage in, and then providing the kid with the tools to do that.

So, the involuntary manslaughter charges here, if the facts support it, you know, the prosecution has to prove these facts beyond a reasonable doubt. The involuntary manslaughter charges don't really surprise me if the father actually provided. A son he knew to be dangerously unstable with the gun he used to commit those killings. Is that a tough thing to prove? If you're the prosecution and you're looking at whether or not this parental.

Carelessness. is meeting the litmus test for criminal negligence. I mean, there has to, I mean, they really have, this seems like a tough thing to prove if you're the state. I mean, it depends on the facts, right?

So if the parent knows the kid is dangerous, but he's keeping his guns locked in a real safe, and the kid had to cut open the safe with a torch to get to the guns, well, the father took reasonable steps there to ensure the kid couldn't take the gun. You can't stop everything. But on the other hand, if the father said, hey, kid, I know you're mentally unstable, but here's an AR rifle you get to keep under your bed unsupervised.

Well, that's a different backpack. And so it depends on how the facts develop. It need not be a super complicated case with the prosecution. Yeah, true. We're talking with Andrew Branca.

Brinka, I keep wanting to say the wrong vowel for your name, Andrew Branca. Neither is fine. I know. You know, my last name, I feel your pain, my friend. I get it all the time.

Who is the self-defense attorney, an expert in this field? This, because I know in the Crumley case, the prosecution had to prove whether or not the mom knew. The parents were aware that the son had this, I guess, murderous predisposition or this intent or inclination to go out and murder people, and that's what they're going to have to. Because it's to, I, I, it's, I understand the involuntary manslaughter charge, but did the dad? I mean, was he aware that his son had murderous tendencies?

I mean, that's something they're going to have to explore. Yeah, I mean, listen, I had my first rifle when I was nine years old, and I could just take it into the woods and shoot it whenever I wanted, and I didn't kill anybody.

So, if the child's not inherently dangerous, as far as I'm concerned, there's nothing wrong with a child having access to a firearm. The key has to be: you know, there's something wrong with your kid. Unfortunately, we live in an era where there appears to be a lot more unstable kids out there for whatever reasons. I'm not a doctor, but we didn't have school shootings like this when I was a kid, and we all had unfettered access to firearms. Our dad's gun cabinets were just cabinets, like a China cabinet, with glass so you could admire the firearms from a distance, and anybody could open them up.

And the ammo was right there in the drawer. We all had unfettered access to guns. None of us did this. But in this day and age, if you know your child's mentally unstable, it's only the responsible thing to do to make sure they don't have access to firearms. Yeah.

And then it comes, there's the question of local law enforcement had visited the house, I guess, what, a year prior, because the kid was accused of making death threats on Discord, but they couldn't, I guess, determine that it was, you know, absolutely him. And the dad was defending him. And then after that, he gets his son this rifle. I mean, that, if you're law enforcement and someone's making those death threats like that, like where is the line?

Someone's making death threats. They're saying, I'm going to go to my school. I'm going to shoot up my school. I'm going to murder these people. I mean, with some degree of specificity.

And I realize that, you know, we have the whole fighting words and all of that. And some speech is protected, some isn't. But at some point, you know, at least at the very least, you're the parent. You have to intervene if law enforcement can't. But when the parents don't intervene, what is law enforcement left to do?

Yeah, and my understanding too is that this was a single parent household, so we have that level of instability there as well. In a sane world, short of, of course, if there's probable cause for a crime being committed or threatened, there's things law enforcement can do. But short of that, we don't institutionalize people anymore against their will. No matter how dangerous they present themselves to the public, just walk through any major urban center and you'll see tons of people who probably ought not be walking around publicly in the streets because they're dangerous to themselves and they're dangerous to others. But it's been decades since society's been willing to institutionalize people like that for their own benefit as well as the benefit of society.

And this is partly the result that we get now.

So, what is the application of this? I don't know if I want to say that it's a precedent, if I want to describe it like that, or if it's just you're applying criminal negligence laws and the penalty of that if the facts will out. But is there because I had a listener that made the comment, does this mean that we can start going after gangbanger parents to make it consistent? And it it's not, I mean, I understand their point. It's not a bad point, but you still again have to prove that culpability and that I guess facilitation if that's the correct way to describe it.

Yeah, and so in theory, you could. I mean, if those parents are providing their kids with the guns, then they know their guns commit violent crimes, their children commit violent crimes when they have those guns in their possession. It's the same theory of recklessness. The somewhat surprising charge here is not actually the involuntary manslaughter one, but the murder one. because the murder charges are predicated on that charge of child cruelty.

You saw there were multiple charges of child cruelty. One of the ways and I'm not sure I've seen this in other states in Georgia to get to second degree murder Is when a death occurs in the course of cruelty to children. And when I look at the statute, it looks like the way it's supposed to apply is someone's beating their child and the child dies of the beating. They didn't intend to kill the child. But they're going to make it more than manslaughter because it was a child that you were killing.

They're going to make it second-degree murder. It looks like they're trying to get to second-degree murder for the father by arguing that he facilitated. It looks like the child cruelty to the children in the school. Not to his own son. Interesting.

Yeah, and that I think is going to be a more difficult, a more kind of. Precedent-setting argument for the prosecution to make in this case. That I haven't seen before. It seems I wonder if they're kind of over their skis a little bit on that because isn't that sort of the way it works when you're going into the in into trial, you don't want to bite off more than you can choose so that you do at least get some kind of conviction if you're the prosecution? Maybe by the time they get to trial, but in this kind of horrific case, and let's say it up front, obviously the school shooting is an absolutely horrific case.

The people who died are completely innocent victims of a monster who walked amongst them. Um The prosecutor has every incentive to go over their skis here. I mean, this is for both for legal and political purposes. This is something they'll be inclined to want to do. It'll be up to a court to check them if a judge wants to check them and not allow them to proceed with this legal theory.

Last question for you: Do you think that this we're going to start seeing? I mean, heaven forbid, I don't want to see more of these tragedies. No one does, but we do unfortunately live in a culture that, you know, law and order has broken down, and we just, you know, people are just horrible to each other by and large anymore. Is this going to be? The new normal in terms of going after and maybe looking at the Either activity of the parent, the involvement of the parent, and whether or not they are culpable in these cases.

Do you foresee more of those? I would expect every prosecutor moving forward, even from Crumbly. When a young person in the custody of a parent commits a violent crime, especially a high-profile violent crime like this, with a gun, they are absolutely first thing they'll do is look and see: did that kid get the gun by the willing provision of the parent? And if they did, the parent's very likely to be criminally charged. This is such a sad case.

I would imagine they're going to get a conviction, at least on one of these charges with his father for sure. It doesn't mean it's a sad case. It was preventable. Andrew Branca, always appreciate you, my friend. Thank you so much for your expertise.

And you can find him at lawofselfdefense.com. Thank you. Good to see you. Thanks. We have more to come, folks, as we wrap up this second hour and head towards Florida Man.

And as we do so, couldn't do it without our partners that help bring you free radio. One of those. Burn a gun.

Now it sounds kind of interesting because it's an on-firearm firearm. I'm always going to tell you to carry. I always carry myself. There are instances, and I don't have the luxury of saying no all of the time because it's work or it's part of my job where. I have to go to a gun-free zone, and I don't like being left defenseless.

You know, if I can't take a blade or can't take anything else, I want to be able to defend myself because it always seems like they're in cities, right? When you have to go to a gun-free zone, it always seems like it's in a city somewhere. I have a friend who lives and works in D.C., and the nature of her work means that she is, well, she works in media, she chases stories, and she's an investigative reporter. And so, many times she's in at you know, at like 11 o'clock at night in downtown D.C., that's not a safe place to be. And even if you have a CHL, it doesn't mean you can always carry everywhere.

So, she got a Burna gun. And I have a lot of friends who started doing this just as a way to diversify their options. It's not replacing their carry, it's for those instances where the state doesn't want you to be able to protect yourself, really. The Burna gun is a non-firearm firearm, but it is a diverse option, a way to diversify your self-defense options.

So, the most popular model is the Burna SD. That's what everybody that I know has gotten a Burna gun. They got the Burna SD. The Burna SD has a five-round capacity and shoots chemical irritant. Projectiles that can disable threats.

Now, when you compare it to just a regular stun gun, those are just limited to like one or two shots. The Burna has five rounds, and there's no background check, there's no waiting period. I mean, they shiver right to your door. And it's practical in those areas where you are prevented. From being armed, prevented from carry.

So it's always important to have diverse options. You would rather have more choices and not fewer.

It's time for Florida Man. You know, the police provide a service. of assistin' and protectin'. But they do not. Provide this type of service.

No, sir, they do not.

So, this is Florida, man. Timothy Gunter He was arrested last week in Lake County. He had called the police. because he needed them to test his bad drugs. Ha ha.

Please test my bad drugs after he burglarized a home over barking dogs. The 34-year-old was booked into Lake County jail. Charges of burglary and meth possession. Uh he The deputy was patrolling in the Paisley area. He was flagged down by the burglar.

This guy looks like he's on the. Look at the m wand showing you if you're watching the simulcast. This dude looks like a tweaker. Looks exactly like you think a tweaker would look and his eyes are way close together. But the burglary victim flagged down the deputy, led him to his house, and he said that Gunter randomly uttered that he had just received some bad drugs.

And he said c he asked the deputy to test him 'cause he thinks there's something wrong with his meth.

So he said he broke into the victim's house because he could hear dogs barking inside. He is being held. in jail on an eighteen thousand dollar bond. Yeah. That's not what You asked the police to to do.

That's what they did.

Now you don't be like, can you come check my bag? Drugs. Yeah. So this Florida man, he uh complemented this other fl I mean sometimes you see a nice car out and about right And in Winterhaven this driver complimented another driver's car, and the driver whose car he complimented punched him promptly in the face. It's all on Dude, who is the well, at least the guy doesn't skip leg day.

I will say, the guy who isn't the guy who did the punch in, the one who doesn't skip leg day, apparently. John Sturgeon is the one who stopped his vehicle, approached the driver, and punched him in the face. And The Victim said that he had waved his hand. And told Sturgeon that he had a nice car, and I guess the guy thought it was a road rage thing. What?

Okay, Juan, I need you to roll that video back. That guy toddler stomps to his car. He is so roided out, he has to stomp like a toddler, otherwise, he'll start a fire with his thighs. Let's just pull it back. That's crazy.

That's crazy. So he had told the deputies, he'd waved his hand and said that. He was telling him he had a nice car. Did Sturgeon think? Apparently Sturgeon thought he was flipping him off.

because the victim is even literally on video. And it and the guy, the victim has a Dodge charger. And he's saying, I'm trying to tell you, nice car, bro. I like your car. And then Sturgeon comes out in his red tank top and his gray shorts and he, you know, punches him.

I guess he mistook it as. An insult?

So they're trying to, he wasn't there when deputies went to his house, so they're trying to find him. Why in the world I got to have him walking, though? I didn't mean to like throw that up on you, Juan, but this guy toddler stomping back to his car. is amazing. Here it is.

Now, here he's like, roar, roar, roar, roar, roar. And he's got all this. Dude, he's worried out. You know, he is. Look, he can't even walk.

He can't even put his damn arms down. He walks like Like a giant baby. Statue that's bigger. But it's like he was trying to the guy was telling him you got a nice car And he got offended.

So, don't you can't even compliment people anymore. Everybody's offended. And a Florida man wearing an ankle monitor kidnaps or attempts at kidnapping in a Walmart parking lot. It's always a Walmart parking lot, Orlando, Florida. Police were called after a reference to an armed robbery and possible kidnapping.

Juan Perez, 54, is the culprit. He approached the victim after pacing the parking lot. He forced her into her trunk, took out a knife, held it to her throat. And the victim tried to fight back and uh she was able Uh he well he he threatened to cut her throat if she persisted. He fled after a good guy intervened.

And then the witness said that she witnessed Perez trying to shove the victim in the trunk, and her legs were failing up.

So the guy's arrested. His court date is September 10th.

So they got the bad guy off the streets. Jeez, stick with us. Third hour next. Folks, we hope bring you free radio black rifle coffee. Great coffee, the only coffee I drink.

It's also worth mentioning, I mean, at this point we almost take it for granted. Assault weapons don't have to be legal. Assault weapons like this were illegal in this country from 1994 to 2004. Bill Clinton signed the assault weapons ban, but it only lasted for 10 years. There have been many efforts to make assault weapons illegal, which would limit this problem considerably.

My biggest regret right now is that I can't play Billy Squire's stroke. As a way to introduce Jeffrey Toobin. and his stupid moronic sound bite here. You know, we don't go to the whorehouse and knock stuff out of his hands, so why does he have to come up into our business and sit here and try to malign our rights and misrepresent what we can and can't do? Does that mean?

Yeah. No, I'm not getting into the. Don't do the definals that way. Don't do them that way, Kane. Welcome back.

It's top of the third hour. We just get less and less. of a filter. As we roll towards the conclusion of this week, that's the guy who got in trouble on CNN because he, I just want to remind everyone, that man right there, Jeffrey Toobin, that you just heard, because he legit put on a one-man, one-hand show, if you know what I mean, wink, wink. You know that phrase, I just vomited a little bit in my mouth.

I want to vomit a lot in everybody's mouth whenever I hear the story. That's that bad. That phrase never made so much. It's just funny because it's reversed. See, it's maybe only to me.

Anyway, welcome back. Dana Lash with you, top of this third hour. That's how we're starting. Yeah, he's like, we don't really need a thought.

Well, we don't really need you. You knocked up your best friend's daughter and tried to bully her into getting an abortion. You're a freak. Don't talk. Big giant pervert.

Nobody, no, nobody wants to hear you. No one wants to hear this talk. No one wants to hear him.

Well, they don't have to be legal. And you don't have to be on earth. But yet here you are Ta-da! The more you know, shooting star. That Good.

What are you typing over there? He's laughing himself silly. and typing. It's not for air, so just keep going.

Well, then, why'd you put it in Slack, K? Because it's not for air, that's why. Uh-huh. Yeah. All right.

Yeah, that's Jeffrey McTub and myself on Was he on Skype? He was on Skype. He was literally on a Skype call. And he's he was on with his colleagues. And he just, I don't know, like, couldn't wait to turn the camera off, forgot to turn the camera off.

And then, you know, did That. Erection. Thank you. And I am, I don't even know how that happens. I don't, and then all, like, his colleagues were horrified.

They were horrified at what was happening. Golly. I just don't understand the mind of someone. Who does something like that with their colleagues and then dresses up in a suit and then goes on set and talks like that? I'm a normal human.

That never happened. How does. How do you not? Is that just a lack of self-awareness or what? Was it Allison Camerata that had to do the first interview of him when he came back?

Oh my gosh, yeah. Oh, that was so awkward. Yeah. People need to look that up. I I I I don't know.

I Ah, I can't. I just don't. I mean, he was he was gone eight months. He was on Zoom, and they're like, Oh, he exposed himself on Zoom. Oh, wait, hey, hey, y'all.

Is that all he did? Because it seems like there were a lot more activities that happened with that. Oh my gosh. Ugh. He's he's and then he said that he spent he spent eight months off air trying to be a better person.

And he went and worked at a food bank.

So it didn't work?

Okay. Because apparently working at a food bank means you're not going to tug it on a zoom call in front of your colleagues, I guess. That h that That alleviates that. That that Fetish, I guess. I don't know.

Good heavens. Yeah, he and he said, I made an embarrassingly stupid mistake believing I was I'm going to come back to the crux of this, like the whole reason why we're here, but can I just indulge me for a minute? He said, I believed a stupid mistake. I thought I was, or I made a stupid mistake. I believed I was off camera.

You couldn't even wait a beat. He just immediately went to town. You he Couldn't even wait a second. Like, what is the matter? What was happening?

I don't want to know, but what was happening in his head? He's talking to his colleagues, and he's like, can't wait to get off here and go to town. Like, I don't, like, how. That is so weird. It's weird.

And you guys, there's no rehabilitating this dude for me. None. But he's like, assault weapons don't have to be legal. I am not going to be lectured to about what I am allowed to carry as a woman by a guy who got in trouble with his work because he tugged it on a Zoom call. Not going to happen.

Keep your meat to yourself. There you go. All right. Speaking of freaks.

So now the latest. from this murderer in Georgia. Uh There was the story of how he apparently They were saying, Oh, he was being bullied because Uh you know, he was gay.

Well, apparently it comes out that he was. Trans Tifa That's what it's looking like. There's a lot of, I mean, There's a lot of reports now coming out about this killer. Where He apparently And CNN glosses over it.

So CNN has this story. And they said that he referenced Parkland. This is why I I talk about the copycat killings. That's how it is a real thing, and it's something that the Parkland murderer also. touched on.

The 14-year-old referenced Parkland in his writings. And The other thing that he said as well, and this is buried, Uh At the very like way, way, way down at the bottom, it said. He had uh one of his writings He referenced the Sandy Hook. killer. and in separate posts, shared a desire to target an elementary school and expressed frustration with the acceptance of transgender people.

And He's been on the radar of the FBI again for a year. And he apparently had some Uh I don't know. Like, this is. I i his his writings and his his the stuff that now is coming out that CNN is even coming out with. It looks like it's some Trans Tifa stuff.

Hmm. Notice how they just bury that down at the very end of the piece. Oh, and the acceptance of transgender so he was so mad about transgender people that he wanted to shoot up in elementary school? This radical gender ideology is getting people killed. It is it's getting people killed.

And instead of focusing on that, people are like, oh, he was on Discord, which is where gamers go. Guess we should target games. And this is right after, as Kane noted, and Lorraine has a post-up about this over at Substack. chapter and verse. right after the Nashville murder.

their di their diary that they had, uh this diary that she wrote. Her they called it a manifesto, but it's really one of a whole bunch of diaries where she talked about Transgenderism, and you could see A, she was mentally ill, but B, she was also encouraged to violence because of radical. trans ideology. And now it looks like we have another one of these instances.

So, maybe instead of talking about video games, maybe instead focus on this. Right here. We had uh we were talking on break too. about some of the video game stuff because it is absolutely a hill I will fight on. Where there have been people even on the right who say, oh, well, it is, you know, it's video games.

You know, that's a contributing factor. It's not. It is not a contributing factor and anyone who says that doesn't play. That is repurposing anti-gun arguments and targeting inanimate objects. and using that as a scapegoat for voluntary human behavior that's evil.

And I I just think it it does a huge it's disingenuous and it does it doesn't it it's just really bad to to appropriate an anti-gun argument. And some people had said, well You know, it's desensitizing. It desensitizes people from violence. Nobody who has ever played a video game and has ever fired a gun. would ever in a million years think that they are in any way remotely the same.

or that one in any way prepares I mean Last night I was playing Space Marine 2. which is the latest uh it was the early access for Warhammer 40k, which Cain won't play. And uh it was early access for f uh uh Gameplay and I'm shooting giant bugs. I'm not going to be going out shooting giant cockroaches in real life and fighting tyrannids.

Okay, it's not going to happen. That's not the way it works. And I'm also not 80,000 million feet tall. in this as, you know. That's a space marine.

It's Has nothing to do, it's not any more culpable than watching a violent movie or television or listening to aggressive music or anything of that nature. People have got to stop excusing the willful evil choices by blaming inanimate objects or something like a video game or a book or something else. That is an anti-gun argument. more easily argue that current culture With its disregard for life and law and order is a contributing factor.

Now that. would be accurate and agreeable. That is a correct way. to state it. I had people who were like yelling at me yesterday.

Saying that it's a contributing factor. You know, you're an idiot. I can't believe you can say that. And I would ask people: what games do you play? or have any familiarity with at all whatsoever that will Induce me to believe that you are remotely qualified to lecture me about this issue.

And then I don't really hear anything. I mean, I've hunted, I've shot guns, I've blown stuff up, I've played video games. They're not even remotely the same. And I've played first-person shooter, I've played horror games, I have played video games my entire life casually. I don't call myself a gamer.

I just play it casually. I enjoy it. I like the hand eye coordination. It's fun. And it's social.

People sit here and go, they also say, well, it's isolating. Again, people who never play will say stuff like that. People who have no concept of games will say things like that. Honestly, it was a saving grace during lockdown because my kids were able to still.

socialize with their friends. They're gaming. I mean, we can game as a family and we can get together with our friends and do stuff. I mean, it's like people who say it's social don't play. These people don't play.

Why in the hell? Your opinions don't matter. That's like Joe Biden sitting here lecturing me about guns. Stop. But what gets me is that people think that they're culpable.

It's parenting. Stop letting crappy parents off the hook. Stop blaming guns. Stop blaming games. Stop blaming books.

Stop blaming movies. Stop blaming television. Stop it. It all starts in the home. Don't use anti-gunner arguments against your side.

It starts in the home. This dad was abusive. The mom is a Just a piece of garbage, apparently. Both of them are. He won the garbage parent lottery.

I mean I don't know. It's it's sad. And here's the other. point that I think is incredibly important and I don't want to get overlooked. Because everyone's talking about his upbringing and he had garbage parents and all this other stuff.

Not everyone who comes from a broken home and has abusive parents or an abusive parent grows up to be a murderer. Don't stigmatize. kids who come from those backgrounds. 'Cause you might be talking to one of 'em. And now, all of the news you would probably miss.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Uh California lawmakers want your car to warn you. That you're speeding because they think you're a moron. The next thing is they're gonna vote that you're too stupid to drive a car. That's what's gonna happen.

They had, of course, the guy's name is Scott Wiener. He is the California State Senator, Senator Weiner. who introduced the bill to limit speeding earlier this year.

Some would say that you're... I'm not gonna make this joke on here. I'm not going to read his quote either because it is so Freudian.

Okay, we're done with the story. What is happening? It's all nonsense. Uh also, let's see here. We got a few other things to touch on.

Mm-hmm. Open this up. Everything's frozen, so yeah, I know. This is because it's why I wouldn't. Ooh, flamethrower.

Here's where's the flamethrower one. This Amian Sparks Terror Response in a Vegas Strip Resort with a flamethrower device.

Okay, so what does that mean? Flamethrower device? Because I feel like people will say things are that, and it's not really that. This guy, 26 years old, he's getting charged with assault with a deadly weapon. He used a homemade flamethrower device.

What does that look like? To trigger the sprinkler system in a building that. Then triggered a counterterrorism response, apparently. The 26-year-old who are those tattoos or is that dirt? I can't tell.

They said that it was at the Fountain Blue in Las Vegas. They called 911. and they had maintenance workers, everybody else come out. When they approached this guy in the stairwell, he lit an unknown liquid through a hose towards them. And then there was a device in his backpack and it was flammable liquid connected with a three foot long metal hose.

And that's how it does.

Some people just want to watch a world burn. I feel like there was this guy here, you know, in a room. This man chugged 24 ounces of ranch in 13 seconds and won a contest. But he'll be forever gross to his wife. He said his wife thought it was disgusting.

Yeah, I would agree. Why would you do that? Why do you need to do a con participate in a contest? We're chugging. Like a gallon of ranch, it's disgusting.

Stick with us. Not able to catch the full Dana show? Follow Dana's Absurd Truth podcast and get news and laughs delivered in short, easy-to-digest episodes. Ideal for your busy lifestyle on Apple or wherever you get your podcast. At the suggestion of Elon Musk.

Who has given me his complete and total endorsement? That's nice smart guy. He knows what he's doing. He knows what he's doing. That's very, very much appreciated.

I will create a government efficiency commission tasked with conducting a complete financial and performance audit. Of the entire federal government and making recommendations for drastic reforms. We need to do it.

So I don't oppose that on its face, but I got some questions. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. We're at the bottom of this second hour third hour, sorry, on this Friday. And here's why.

I am so allergic to anything that sounds like an expansion of government. that when I hear something that sounds remotely like an expansion of government, even if it's for the purpose of Than reducing it. I get real weird about it. Because they feel like government's too big, right? There's too much stuff.

There's too many agencies. There's There's this, there's that.

So Musk proposed this. and said he wouldn't take a salary. I mean, not that he wouldn't need one. He said that he wouldn't take a salary from it. And he had said that this was all about you know uh Uh cutting government.

And Musk had said, I am willing to serve. He wouldn't take a salary, but wouldn't you need people to facilitate this stuff? to to do it if you're having a commission On government efficiency. And it would audit agencies, or people who would, it's not Elon Musk that's going to be auditing all of these agencies, right? It's other people that are going to be auditing the agencies.

And Are they going to do it for free? For Is that going to require taxpayer dollars to pay them? to do it, which then When I look at it that way, it kind of sounds like screwing for chastity. I just don't know how workable this is. It just seems antithetical to create more government, to reduce government.

When that dude down in, what's his face? Millais, he cut everything. He was like, I don't need to create a commission. What did he do? It's done.

He just cut it. Javier Malay, he just cut it. Kane, I think, disagrees with me. Do you disagree with me on that? Doesn't it?

It kind of agree with you with all of what you're saying. No one likes more government here, but I'm okay with Trump, who, by the way, isn't a lifelong politician, who comes in, sees the issue of government not being audited in places it should be. He then taps the shoulder of someone else who also isn't in government in the private sector mainly and asks his opinion on a commission to help. Cut what essentially the government has been avoiding, which are these audits in all these different departments. Who who does the work of the auditing?

What do you mean?

Well, somebody actually has to audit them and go through the market. I think it's the department heads of each one of those agencies they're considering. cutting. Those department heads have to provide the data And prove their case that they need either more or less, or what are they operating on? It's a true audit.

So the data would have to come from the department heads of those agencies. Let me counter that idea. All right. Why don't we just get rid of all those departments? That's what I'm saying.

But imagine So imagine what the media would do. to somebody like that when But if you have what he's doing is he's spreading the liability out by having this commission, he's saying, all right, we're gonna have more heads. It's not just me that's just deciding, you know, at the whim of myself to get rid of these agencies. He's avoiding that narrative in the media by spreading out that liability to a commission. I think it makes great sense.

But I also agree that I don't want more government. Even if it's to create less government. But in this instance, I think it makes complete sense. You're bringing a guy in who's had a massive amount of success in the private sector. And he's great.

I don't argue that. And I like the idea of. Examining how agencies are spending money and eliminating nonsensical spending. I just think if you have to I just think everything needs to be like a radical surgery. to nothing but Article 1, Section 8.

That would be so great. Nobody's got the balls to do it though. Singing my favorite song over there. I'm saying, I mean, this Javier Malai guy is like the only one who came in. I mean, you know, he just doesn't care.

That dude doesn't care. He's got a pretty wife and a crazy hairdo. He doesn't care. Guys like that don't care. He just went and was like, I don't care.

I'm cutting everything. But I understand why he would want to spread the liability out over this commission because the media already wants to paint him as somebody's dictator. I just feel, they're going to do it regardless. The dictator. label.

to be what drives the decisions on which agencies to cut and how much. He doesn't have to, if he were to be re-elected, he wouldn't have to worry about it again.

So I feel like he could just do whatever he wants. I agree with you there, but I don't think it's a sign of fear to not do it. Damage is down ticket. You can't allow. These people need to ball up and fight.

Well, yeah, I'm tired of us having to deal with the consequence of them not wanting to fight. Yeah. And it's a shame that the media is actually instead of watchdogs for the American people, they're less than 100%. Anything less than Article 1, Section 8 is cowardice. Yes.

But our media would never go out there. They're not going to allow it now, though. Literally, AP made up a whole quote and attributed it to J.D. Vance, and Kamala Harris ran with it. And TNM and Tim ran with it.

They all ran with it. They made up a quote, and everyone ran with it. And then they quietly, very surreptitiously deleted it later. Yeah. They don't care.

It doesn't matter what you do or don't do. They're going to make up something. If there's nothing in there to support their narrative, they'll create it. That's true. But he doesn't want to destroy.

The media has the power to destroy it. That's a gift, though. What's a gift? The fact that they'll just make it up, then you can just do whatever you want if they're gonna make it up anyway. Yeah, but Here's the thing: there's too many people that believe that stupid narrative from it hurts down ticket in every state.

You can't do that. You can't be the dictator the media is claiming that you are. How is that being a dictator? I'm talking about the narrative the media will run with. I'm not talking about the actual definition of it.

This is the narrative the media will run with. And he's spreading that liability out over this commission so that he doesn't look like a dictator, so that it's not perceived as some dictator move. He's getting the advice of successful private sector people. This is. A sane thing to do.

And the media will not look at it that way.

So it's sane to not totally cut out all government. What? I'm not sure you heard what I said, but I do not know. No, you're right. It's not insane to not cut all of what are we saying?

I'm just wondering because I don't really care. If I were him, I understand what he's doing. I wouldn't care about the liability. And I would be like, you know what? You guys allowed it to get this big all these years in office.

Now, guess what? You get to deal with coming up with a great message right now to fight this. I'm not a good person.

Now, because I'm cutting it, when will they get another chance like that again? And that's the thing. I'm not a cutting. Snippity, snip, cut it, cut. But when you damage down ticket and you can't control either House or Senate, then what kind of thing?

I reject that narrative, sir. I reject the narrative that it would be him damaging down ticket. It's all the people that allowed it to get this big that damaged it themselves. I'm with you on that one, too, but that does not have this particular situation. I'm just saying.

Yeah. Yeah. It is worth the discussion though. I uh I don't know, I just That's why I just feel like it's It seems like I'm going to create more government to cut this government. And I don't like that.

When I hear more government being created, it's never an issue. Like, it's always something that grows government. This is actually an effort to shrink government. By creating temporarily more government. Temporarily.

When has anything been temporary in government? You don't know. When has anything been temporary in government? Anything. I love it.

You just admitted it. Oh, would you stop? That's all right. That's all right. So, um,.

Now that we've established that I ought to at this point. Get it, Kane, for not playing Warhammer, but I'm not. It's alright that you don't want to do the attacking me, Dana. You or Steve. Steve is probably like, what?

I don't even under he wouldn't know. No, that's alright. It's okay. You guys just don't want to play fun radio activities. It's okay.

A couple of other things: the Hunter Biden. Uh Lorraine's got a piece up at Substack. chapter and verse. The Alford Play. This is an interesting little twist here.

And we talked about this. Uh Yesterday. The Alfred plea, his tax case in California.

So Hunter Biden is trying to the Alfred plays when they when you're trying to say that you're innocent And you're acknowledging that the government could probably win its case, but you're innocent. And let's just go ahead and resolve that. You know that the evidence is here. I'm just going to maintain my innocence and we'll go our separate ways. But the prosecutor shockingly rejected that.

And This is after you had David Weiss, who first they tried to make the charges go away, then they tried to do the sweetheart deal. And he just kept getting, it just was just a nightmare. And so now we have this. And What I think it was like a half hour I was looking at my notes here. I think it was a half hour before Uh the Everyone got in the courtroom, the trial began, that they...

They said that they were going to switch their plea.

So it was like a it definitely was a stunt that he was doing. Uh and it's his you know uh his tax fraud Case gambit here. Andy McCarthy had a really good piece on it as well, where he was explaining specifically. The plea, and how he would say, you know, he would only admit that the government. Um Hunter Biden's by the Alfred plea, he would only admit that the government had the evidence and could prove its case, but he's not going to admit guilt.

or any kind of criminal intention.

So What I You know, in looking at this and what McCarthy was writing about, too, and again, you can read this piece up at chapter and verse. Lorraine's latest. I I just he knows he's gonna get a pardon either way. Because the prosecutor The prosecutor promoted it. Uh and of course they the judge wasn't the judge isn't gonna allow it.

They're not gonna allow it. Because there's, why would they? Why would. They accept the plea from him. Knowing that the prosecutors are ready to go, the case is ready to go, they have the evidence, they're going to convict this guy, it doesn't matter.

So, why would they say, okay, we'll take less than that?

Okay, we'll go ahead and acquiesce, and we'll grant you this that you can just say that we can prove our case and you don't have to admit any guilt.

So they rejected it because why would they not? That it w that's that would be stupid and and really eyebrow raising if they had not rejected it.

So at some point what he will probably end up doing is Pleading guilty and working out like an actual agreement. And he's going to have to negotiate from their position. That's what it's going to be, because he's going to get pardoned anyway. It doesn't matter if he pleads guilty to all or none of the charges. He knows he's going to get pardoned.

And I feel like the fact that he pulled this stunt is an indication that he knows he's going to get pardoned too. He knows. This is this is this is him. with just with his stunts. But he knows he's he knows it's going to be he's going to be pardoned.

Another it's a Piece that he did that kind of dovetails with all these previous pieces about the CDC hiding stuff. The CDC and FBI and everybody else, they've been trying to hide. Defensive gun usage for forever. And apparently, there's more evidence of them doing it. The CDC, under the Biden administration, they keep trying to suppress data.

proving that You know. Regular average everyday Joes and Janes that are armed, they can help prevent crime, and they removed entirely. The estimates that they had for defensive gun usages from their website.

So, how do you have a legitimate conversation about criminal usage when you omit and take great pains to omit? The defensive gun usages. And the reason that you omit the defensive gun usages is because they vastly. outnumber The Criminal. usage statistics And remember, there were all these emails that showed they were working with these.

Uh anti-gun folks. And there were all these emails that showed that they knew that It was harmful to their agenda of gun beanie, and so they wanted it removed. It's just... This is and and then you wonder why no one trusts government. This is the CDC trying to politicize something, just like when they claimed that they were barred from studying quote-unquote gun violence.

They weren't barred from it, they were barred from being political with taxpayer dollars. There's a big difference. If you're going to conduct a survey or study, conduct a study, if you're going to electioneer and politicize, then you're not going to get taxpayer money for that. For either way, that shouldn't be, you know. Uh one last other thing.

Tim Walls had made a statement. Actually, he was in an interview on Israel. And he was talking about October seventh. And he had said, We can't allow what's happened in Gaza to happen. The Palestinian people have every right to life and liberty themselves.

He goes, we need to, he goes, I think, put the leverage on to make sure we move towards a two-state solution, end quote. They've rejected a two-state solution. You absolute Moron. It's a real interview. It was over at WCMU.

It was their public radio. It was a radio interview that he had conducted. Um and it's online. You can find it online. Uh they have the transcript up and the audio.

That's wow, wow. Teanim and Tim never met tyrants that he didn't like. He had said he condemned what happened on October seventh and he said it was horrific. And he goes, but we can't allow what's happened in Gaza to happen. What do you mean what's happened in Gaza?

The fact that they voted for and elected legitimately a terrorist organization as their government? The fact that they were going to elect legitimately again the same terrorist organization as their government. the fact that the terrorist organization that is their government enjoys overwhelming popularity, not just in Gaza, but I mean both of the territories. I mean, what is that what he's talking about? Or when Hamas kills its own people.

By misfiring rockets, etc., while trying to carry out acts of terror against their neighbors to the north. That? I mean, I'm just curious, like, what What what what does he not want to have happen again? Because This is an act of defense and they've got to they have to they have to root out Hamas and Hamas is trying to hide in Gaza and claim that you're going after citizens' innocence by hiding amongst the people that they say are the innocents. Why would you make them targets by hiding amongst them, you absolute cowards?

So He is this dude's not right. This dude's never been written ready, never been ready for prime time. He definitely isn't now. Today in stupidity, Kane. All right, this is a cut 11, by the way, Monics.

Valerie Jarrett, this is her claim. On Kamala Harris's qualifications. And she's rolled up her sleeves and she takes her case directly to the American people and she knows she has to earn every single vote because she's the most qualified person for the job. The m Based what Based on what qualifications? Was it when...

She was uh in California and wrongfully jailing black people so that she had some sort of labor force for California clean up highways? I don't know. That's a great question, Kane. I don't think that you're going to be getting any answers. Or when she was senator and did literally nothing?

Maybe that's what she was talking about. Folks, make sure you go sign up over at Substack Chapter Inverse. Find us on YouTube, Facebook, like, and subscribe.
