Monday September 30 - Full Show

Yes, as a matter of fact, we're trying to get the exact number. We revised the bombing round in Florida right now. Stunning.

So many, so such a wide area. Uh We've given them all of the all everything they we have. We're on the ground ahead of time.

So we're working hard. Are there any more resources the federal government could be giving them? No, we've given them we have pre-planned a significant amount of them that even though they didn't ask for it yet. There's uh no more aid for you, North Carolina. You're uh Biden says you're all good.

That uh Yeah. Yeah, that's what you got. It's all good, right? You don't need anything else. Wow.

That was a he did speak a little bit earlier. And we have some of those. I'm not going to take them just yet, but we have some of those. Remarks that he gave, but that is the most shocking soundbite, and it's that's the soundbite that's like going around the world right now because he was asked about. you know, additional Additional aid.

And He's saying, well. No more aid for North Carolina after Hurricane Helene rips through. Golly, I mean, obviously, we're praying and thinking about everybody there. We've got a lot of folks that listen. all you know, all across the country, terrestrially.

And we have a lot of really good folks that You know, they they They watch the show, they stream the show, we have our affiliates out there. And it's heartbreaking to watch some of this video footage of this hurricane that came through. I mean, it's just. devastating. I saw I've seen some pic I mean, I've seen flooding in my life.

But this is crazy, the stuff that we're seeing coming out of. North Carolina and even in Georgia and Florida and everywhere else. Welcome to the program. Dana Lash with you. We are at the top.

of this first hour. and gonna walk you through everything from over the weekend. And then we're going to get you set up because we've got a really big week. Uh we got the VP debate tomorrow. And we're gonna we'll we'll Get you all up to date with polling and everything else.

So, welcome. And again, you can watch Channel 347 if you're listening. Maybe you want to watch the simulcast. Maybe you're in a place where you can watch it. And you can also find us on.

X as well, and Rumble, where the discussion is. This The latest with the hurricane, I mean, what, 100? They're looking at 100 fatalities. The number keeps increasing because. Just even what I was doing.

you know, looking over all of the latest with prep and everything for the show. It was 90 when I was looking.

Now it's risen to 100. They said 1,000 people plus. unaccounted for. in North Carolina.

Some of the uh video that's been out there, like Asheville, particularly the flooding, the destruction, it was a cat four when it hit, later finally downgraded to a tropical storm. Went through, I mean, all through the southern, southeastern part of the United States. Seven states. There were at least 95 fatalities in six states, hundreds missing. More than two million are without power.

North Carolina apparently has taken. the brunt of this. And in an online form. And this is in Buncombe County. 30 fatalities were reported.

and six hundred. reported missing via this online form. uh built more village devastated People were saying that they don't even recognize the area anymore. Biden declared it obviously a major disaster area, making it eligible to receive federal funding. And they're in a I mean, it's just it's just Horrible.

And in Florida, Governor DeSantis said the devastation was worse than that of Vidalia. and there's a lot of destruction in Florida. Uh, flooding that I read in some places the flooding was something like what did they say? They were saying like 15 feet, just crazy, 15 feet. storm surge of excess of fifteen feet and said it was worse than Debbie, worse than a Dahlia, super destructive.

And it's always that storm surge that's sometimes, if you know, people who are maybe unfamiliar with hurricanes, and we have friends that are living in Florida for the first time, and friends that have moved to Georgia recently. And they're learning from the locals. That's the surges afterwards. That's like the worst. But just awful.

Historic flooding. I mean, just tons of people without power. We've got friends over in North Carolina that are without power. Uh and uh it's just, you know, now it's now it's time for the recovery efforts.

Now it's the recovery efforts. And of course, you can't have any kind of disaster without the politicization of it. I Because that's been happening. That's why this video is going gangbusters with Biden that we opened with. Because He says this, he comes out and says, well, there's not gonna be any more funding.

You have to realize how difficult that is for people to hear when they pay taxes. And then they're without power and they're not getting a lot of help. from their you know the the the feds where they pay their taxes where their where's that return on that investment Coming back into a devastating period like this.

Furthermore, You also have more money being announced for places like Ukraine. That's devastating when you're looking at all of these destroyed areas and you're a resident in one of these destroyed areas and you're looking at our tax dollars going everywhere else, but the United States and we're going to talk more about government spending coming up. DeSantis gave, and I think you have this, Kane, he gave some remarks saying that Florida's got it under control. North Carolina has been hurt the worst. This is the remarks that he gave actually just a little bit ago.

Listen to these. What I would say is the Florida, we have it handled. We got approved for the individual assistants things we wanted. We have what we need.

Now, obviously, there may be additional things that we'll ask for in the future. It depends on how things shake out, but I think most of the effort should be in Western North Carolina right now because you still have active rescues that need to take place. I mean, just think about it, it's almost like if this area were totally cut off and every road was destroyed and all this, but you can still get places by boat. There, you can't do that. You're in, and I just think they should really, the federal government should focus on that.

We're running rescue flights. We're happy to do it, but I know the federal government has more assets than the state of Florida has.

So there should not be anybody left behind in those communities. Good.

Well, and and what hurricane was it that knocked out that bridge near Sanibel? And within what, a couple of weeks, that bridge was rebuilt. It was crazy. Florida, I mean, Florida's, you know, they're used to dealing with. With hurricanes, obviously, but I don't know how you can watch states that are that are afflicted.

You know, you have seasons like hurricane season or a tornado season, and think that. Anybody but Someone who is fiscally conservative could run those states. I just, I don't know. Or someone who at least is able to. Uh, you know, a Republican.

I don't know how you can look at states that deal with these seasons. and think that anybody but Someone who is fiscally conservative, i.e., responsible, and also able to delegate and multitask. and find the need, fill the need. I don't know how you can think anybody but those people. with that that limited government ideology and state empowerment ideology can handle this.

I just don't.

Now I wanted to point out something too, because I saw this online and this was there's two things on this. I'm sure you guys have seen this also. This was a An or it was an order. that was put out Uh by Donald Hagen. who was Chief of Police in the city of Okeechobee, Florida.

which I'm told is c was a little bit further out from the hurricane's path.

So a lot of people were very confused as to why. Don Hagen felt the need to do this.

So, Don Hagen, City's designated emergency management official, He put out this notice, right? and he put it out on September 26th, says it was in in effect till September twenty seventh. And he was saying that It w they were for Prohibiting the following acts for the duration of this declared state of emergency, saying the sale or offer to sell with or without consideration any ammo, gun, or firearm, anything like that, not going to allow it. Intentional display by a store in any store or shop of any ammo or gun or firearm, any size description, not going to allow it. The intentional possession in a public place of a firearm by any person except a duly authorized law enforcement official, military person, etc., not allowed.

He signed it. A lot of people were confused about this. Because they, you know, and you have to remember, there are a lot of people who remember what it was like after Hurricane Katrina when a similar order like this came through.

So, my understanding is, it was pretty much the second that this went out. And was brought to To the governor's uh Governor DeSantis's his administration's attention. that his administration reached out to Hagen and we're like nah This is not flying. Because apparently Uh it's not even there's not even a legal statute that they can cite. in order to give this order So it's not even a legal order.

and it has no legal standing. And the governor's administration was saying, yeah, you're not doing this of all the times. You're not doing this now, particularly. And so it is not in effect. according to my understanding.

So they voluntarily, Hagen voluntarily lifted. lifted that order after they got a call from the DeSantis administration. And they were saying that there's no legal authority that you have, there's no statute that supports this, and you're not curtailing the Second Amendment rights of people following a hurricane for the love. Not going to do it. A lot of people were very confused.

And I, you know, I was, it was very interesting.

So that's not in effect. And that uh I mean, it's a lot of people were shocked that anyone even tried. Why would anybody even? Because when you think about this, think about like the looting. And I have some stories on that as well, because apparently.

people who crossed in illegally. Across the southern border, apparently were detained after looting in some of these hurricane-affected areas. And we're going to have that story coming up as well.

So that's the latest out of Florida, and we're following all of the hurricane, all of this, the aftermath of this. We also got to jump into some, obviously, of the election stuff because we have a vice presidential debate tomorrow. The VP is being criticized. Current VP now Democrat presidential nominee, she said she posted this photo of herself. And she's sitting on an airplane.

It looks like AI. It does. This doesn't even look like a real photo. She said that she was briefed by FEMA. And that she is in contact with You know, all of these ongoing rescue and recovery efforts in North Carolina.

She's sitting there looking at a blank piece of paper. And she's got an earbutton, but it's not plugged into her phone. It's a really weird photo. Blank paper. The phone is not plugged in and you can see it.

that it's not plugged in. I don't know who w how who is advising her. Who thought that this was a good look?

So she made that. That's pretty much her only statement that she's made so far. She. Was in a fundraiser in Vegas. And Joe Biden, wasn't he at his beach house?

I think he was at his beach house over the weekend. And None of that is going over well with voters. We're going to jump into all of that. We're also going to get into some of the latest polling. Uh we have Some more election.

We got some other remarks from the candidates over the weekend. Spending, government spending. We got culture, the latest with Israel, the longshoreman strike. How is that going to affect you? How is it going to affect your packages?

And how long will it take to resolve? Because it's October, I mean, it's going to be October tomorrow. We're gonna be in like the holiday period, right?

Soon? How long is this going to go? Hi, I'm Lillian, an English major at Hillsdale College. Here's Hillsdale President Dr. Larry Arne with a Constitution Minute.

America's founders believed in a separation of church and state. in that the country was not to have an official religion or an official sect. But that did not mean that government was to be hostile to religion, or even indifferent to religion, as many today argue. In fact, America's founding document, the Declaration of Independence, includes both a reference to God as the author of the laws of nature and a confident assertion that human beings are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights. Far from being hostile or indifferent to religion, America's founders understood the theology of the Declaration to be an essential part of the education of citizens.

So First up, the guy who plays Shazam. the actor who played Shazam came out and endorsed Trump, Zachary Levi. He was giving a speech in Michigan on this Reclaim America tour, and he came out and said that his parents were Kennedy Democrats and that he's endorsing Trump. Very interesting. You're gonna totally like blacklist this dude like ASAP.

Yeah, he's never gonna work again. His career's over. I got this just for this headline. Just for this word actually. A really disgusting video shows a poo kano.

Blowing 33 feet in the air, covering pedestrians and cars. Said one individual: I'm drenched in poo. It's disgusting. Hey, if you guessed this was in China, you're right. It's totally exactly where that happened.

So this is basically like their entire. Economy and style of government all can be described as the Pucano. Literally, it exploded in the middle of the street at 11 a.m. Wednesday of last week. Newly installed sewage pipes in Nanning, a southern region of China, they just blew up.

and it shot 33 feet in the air, splattered everyone. Everybody. There's dash cam footage. There's it's disgusting. People riding bicycles.

Oh, and it wasn't just liquids. Yeah, it was not just liquids. There were some solids in there. It's disgusting. You needed to know that.

It's very important news. That's what China has to deal with. Oh, great, there's more. Urine bottles in Hawkins Hall raise health concerns after they sat for over a month. What in the world?

is this. That's it. What in the world? This is so gross.

So, this was the Hawkins Hall. This is what in Purdue. They said that the 12th floor, a common room, there were water bottles of urine. Nobody knew how they got there. And they ended up having to get.

I mean, this is like hazmat stuff. This is college kids, yes. I don't know if it's a prank. They're apparently investigating this. This is so gross.

Chris Christofferson, 88 years old. I can't believe he's 88, has passed away. One of the highwaymen. Country music legend. Stick with us.

This is apparently I Gotcha by Greenflow, the theme song of Floridians who are stuck in the Blue Ridge Mountains right now. Apparently, that's the thing Floridians do this time of year. They go to the Blue Ridge Mountains.

And the Florida state government was like, Are you a Floridian and are you stuck in the Blue Ridge Mountains? Gotcha.

So they're getting them. I'm not even kidding you. This is literally what's happening. I was reading this. It said: Cover Ron DeSantis launches Operation Blue Ridge.

I'm not I just think it's like they... Like some of these southeastern states that are not Democrat ran. It's like they already got a plan for everything. Like I'm just now learning that this is how Floridians do fall. They go to the Blue Ridge Mountains and they're stuck there and Florida's already got a plane for it.

So they have, it's literally called Operation Blue Ridge. Edits a multi-state agency response to get floridians that are stuck in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I didn't know that. Uh they said that uh I mean, it's literally a major relief expedition to other states. They just got hit by a cat four.

Dude. If I stub my toe and like fall down and drop something, I'm done for the day. Like they get hit by a cat four and they're like, all right, we got all this situated. You stuck in Blue Ridge Mountains? I got you.

We're coming up to come get you. And it's like settled. This is wild. They got it all set, man. They're sending 10 truckloads of water?

over 100 star links A communication unit strike team? One all hazards incident management team, and a telecon telecommunications emergency response task force. And It's they're using. This is a long list of the things that they're using here. The Florida Division of Emergency Management, Florida State Guard, Florida National Guard, Florida Department of Transportation, Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, Florida Law Enforcement Coordination Task Force, Law Enforcement Strike Team, all of these.

They're all coming together, launching Operation Blue Ridge to assist Floridians seeking rescue in Western North Carolina, Blue Ridge Mountains, and Tennessee Valley. And you can find it at floridadisaster.org slash operation blue ridge. I'll be dang. I will be dang. I mean, this is like.

This is wild. So they're already me where was Biden, by the way? On the uh beach. Oh. Correct, that's right.

I mean all weekend. Literally, like I don't look. I get that people in elected office, they can multitask. You know, they can go out and eat with their families and do whatever. Biden though, this wasn't a one-off, legit.

And it was, what, wasn't it since Thursday, actually? He is legit been had like a an extended weekend and he's been pictured I have like five or six different images of him on the beach. doing what Trump said he would never do, sleeping in a chair on the beach. literally asleep, mouth catching flies on the beach. That was what Biden and then where was Harris?

She was at a Ritzy Las Vegas fundraiser and she was just doing fundraisers.

So it's not like They went out and had a meal with their family, and they got back to response, or they were in touch the whole time. I mean, he was for hours, because the press sits out there and watches him. He sits there for hours. hours. Nobody, no aids coming up, nothing.

He'd just sitting there for hours on the beach. You wouldn't even know that he's the president of the United States and a major category four hurricane came and hit multiple states, and you have 100 fatalities. You wouldn't even know it. With hundreds of people missing. You wouldn't even know.

That's what he was doing.

So There's a big difference there. You know, no one would begrudge him a meal out with his family or friends, but all weekend on the beach and not in communic today was the first time that we heard him say anything. Really? You're the President of the United States. Come on That's just weird.

I mean, I I don't know. I I I mean, it it th it's uh Just a massively, massively Massively. Different. Massively different response.

Now, I wanted to get into some of this. This, I'm just saying, could have an effect on polling, and this is the time of. Uh, the show that I always like to touch on this stuff for you. Got some new stuff coming out about Pennsylvania. Uh now this one is a Traufuger Group poll.

And it has Trump 47, Harris 45.

Now, this goes back and forth. I think they're dead tied in Pennsylvania. Both of these are with all of the surveys that I have seen. And it doesn't matter if it's Harris that's up a few or Trump that's up a few. They're all within the margin of error, so they're all tied, basically.

And The Pull this up. couple of other polling issues and in Hispanic and Latino voters. A new survey. This is NBC, CNBC, Telemundo. where there is a plus 19 It's a gain.

amongst Latino voters with Trump. Which is a I mean, obviously, that's a significant increase since 2020. Interesting.

So just put that on the table. Election betting odds. It still has Uh Harris at 51, Trump 47. But again, you always got to thank three points for errors. And I just think that betting is not an actual survey of voters, but it's an indication of what.

prognosticators think. Rather.

So some of the latest with this. And then I wanted to touch on a very important story here. This is Ohio Capital Journal. I Said in the very beginning of this election cycle that Democrats are really good at raising money. really good at raising money.

They are really good. At delegating cash and they see where their holes are, they see where their deficits are, they just cover it in money. They're really good at that. Republicans, not as much. And Republicans tend to wait till like the last minute to do something with a cash infusion.

So this is Ohio Capital Journal. This kind of goes along with what I've been following all the election cycle.

So the National Democrat entity, they're about to send millions of dollars to state parties because they are so flush with cash, they have no idea what to do with it. They have no clue what to do with it. They have so many millions raised. They have no idea what to do with it at this point.

So they're shoring up their infrastructure. particularly battleground states.

So they're looking at sending anywhere from $2.5 million to $3 million. to where they need to get the most bang for their buck. They For the first time in, I think, the party's history, they've contributed.

So they have different chapters.

Some states have multiple chapters. of the the DNC And they have uh All 57 state and territorial chapters, meaning not states, but the chapters in the states.

So there's 57 total. They've do they've uh contributed to all of them. For the first time, because they're so flush with cash. I have no idea why anybody would want to give these people money, by the way. You saw what's happening with the economy.

So they are really looking to shore up. They're also looking to They're targeting state races as well.

So it's not just going to be congressional and senatorial races.

So, for instance, in my home state of Missouri. They're sending in a ton of cash. to try to break up the GOP super majorities in the legislature. Because Missouri has a geo has a Republican supermajority.

So they're looking at doing that. They're looking at The in Maryland, the state party's mail program, they're targeting that. They're doing, they're spending like $75,000 just for get out the votes in South Carolina. They are targeting in Virginia. They're doing another huge Get out the vote.

Um str uh campaign that they're doing that they're spending, you know, a hundred thousand dollars on. They're doing it in uh Battleground states are obviously getting the most. But this is what they're getting ready to inject all of these different little groups. They're get out the vote groups, their battlegrounds, they're getting ready to do all their final media buys. They're hitting all of this.

and they're flushed with cash and they got the money to do it.

Now, in the weeks prior, we've talked about the Republicans get up the vote efforts and how.

Some of the stuff I've seen this cycle is very, very similar to what I saw in 2012, and it backfired on Republicans majorly in 2012. I don't think that people would ever forget. And I had a number of friends, by the way, who were Who took the day off work on election day, and they were going out making sure that people voted. It was all part of the outreach program. And there was the software that the Republican Party was launching, and it was looking at those people who had not gone out to vote yet.

And matching up these campaigners, making sure that these ballot workers, not ballot workers, but people getting people to go to the polls, cast a ballot. Plugging them in with these individuals that had been identified as voters, but they hadn't voted yet. And the software failed. Like it didn't work. They didn't test it, they didn't do anything before election day.

And I had more friends that I could count that were with us through all the Tea Party stuff. that were livid because they could not They took the day off work. to go and get make sure people were voting. And this failed. And I really do think that that hurt Republicans.

And the reason I make that comparison is because they have, it doesn't seem uniform to me. There are different groups that the RNC is partnering with to get out the vote in certain states.

So one group may have these three states, another group may have another couple of states. And From what I'm understanding, there's not a lot of discussion with each other. There's not a lot of cohesion, and some. Are some longtime Republican activists that have always been on the ground, that have been out there canvassing, been out there door knocking, all of that. They are not seeing that outreach, and it's worrying them, especially in some of these battleground states.

So, I'm a little nervous about that because it always comes down to get out the vote. And I don't know why Republicans always fall behind Democrats on that. Republicans have a superior product. I don't know. Are they just apathetic because they feel like people will recognize that.

And and realize it themselves and then just of their own volition go out and vote. Because people get distracted, people get busy. You have to connect with them. I've never understood why it's Republicans that have always struggled with get out the vote. I've never Understood that.

Doesn't make any sense to me. But that's where we're at.

So they're looking at spending that kind of money in those states.

Some of the state Races also are an indication of party health. In Virginia, the governor's race is in a dead heat. You have the lieutenant governor there. Winston Sears, who is a great candidate. Lieutenant Governor Winsom Sears, who is running, she is in a dead heat.

with Democrat Representative Abigail Spanberger.

Now, Winsom Sears, you know, she's the Second Amendment LG, and because this is important to Democrats until it's not, she is a black lieutenant governor. She would be making some serious history. They're tied at 39%. This is according to the University of Mary Washington Center for Leadership and Media Studies. 22% say they're undecided.

or did not plan to vote. or decline to res how are you undecided at this point? Again. Voters have an obligation. And then in Ohio, The Republican challenger opens up a lead over Democrat Sherrod Brown.

In Ohio Senate race. I've met Sherrod Brown. He is one of the meanest, nastiest dudes I have ever had the misfortune of meeting in public. I one time asked him. Senator, may I ask you a question?

He was sitting there taking questions from everybody.

Someone whispered to him who I was and he looked me in the face, pointed at pointed at me and screamed in my face. Citizen Rhode Island. He was one of the rudest people, meanest people I've ever met in my life. And I got major abusive vibes from this dude. He was really rude.

I've met rude lawmakers before, and I've been yelled at by lawmakers. This guy was over the top. And so he's trailing Bernie Moreno. 48 to 46. It's actually in the latest surveys, it's just outside of their margin of error.

Very interesting going on in Ohio. Very interesting stuff.

Now, a few other things. I want to make sure that we're touching on Because we got some of the other stuff we're going to touch on as well, the Harrison Second Amendment thing. Because her staff is trying to clean this up so bad. Her comments on the Second Amendment, particularly when she had said this came from. A 2007 video.

We played it last week. Where she went out there and was saying that, oh yeah, you know, just because you want a firearm doesn't mean we can't come into your house and look and see what you got.

Now that's getting her into a lot of trouble. And so Her staff is having to clean up. those remarks.

So we're going to touch on that, and then we're also going to talk coming up about Trump's desire for a purge. His remarks So we'll discuss all of that coming up. We got the latest on the hurricane, and in our second hour, we're going to get into the longshoreman's strike. East Coast Ports, everyone's preparing to strike. What does that mean?

How long is it going to last? Where's Poot Booty Juice? Is he not the transportation secretary? Is this not part of his whole thing? Kane, in this part of his whole thing?

Mm. Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. An important part or an interesting part of how people have talked about your role here is how your role has reshaped the perception of masculinity. And I'm not sure you planned on that, but you are an incredibly supportive spouse. Has that been an evolution for you?

And do you think that's part of the role you might play as First Gentleman? It's funny. I've started to think a lot about this. I've always been like this. My dad was like this.

Like. How do you redefine masculinity?

Well, let me tell you what you do, Jen. You screw around on your wife and you impregnate your friend's daughter. That's how that works. That's um Is that really How I just think that that's um That's a goofy. What a like a what that's so dumb.

It was actually their nanny.

Sorry, it was a kid's nanny. Screw around on your wife and you impregnate your younger nanny. That's Genzaki. That's how you redefine masculinity. It's like, why is that not brought up as an example of toxicity?

But, you know, chivalrous behavior is always the example of toxicity. that dumb chicks bring up as a way to shame men. I don't get it. Doug Amhoff really redefining masculinity. You broke your covenant with your first wife.

With the woman that you brought in to help raise the children that you had with your first wife. I just don't think that that's so lame. No, we're not doing that. And then Following up to that. What does this mean?

Audio sun by 29. What is a proud wife guy? I don't know. There's a pop culture phrase, wife guy, which you've kind of been known as. Are you familiar with this?

I've heard about it. As called a wife guy, a proud wife guy. How do you feel about that?

Well, i if I do something annoying to Kamala and she gets upset, I'll just show her that article. I'll say, I'm trying to wear a t-shirt around. I think that's just called a husband. I hate society. Yeah.

Like, uh that's like a big thing. What's a wife guy? I am so done with this. Like it's even in the New York Times. And it's just called a husband.

Stop.

So many people have unhealthy ideas of what relationships are because they have no, they are not in relationships, much less marriages, much less long-term commitments.

So coming up in our second hour, Should we have a purge? I mean, I was he speaking seriously? Was Trump... Did he actually make that? Was it a serious proposal?

Because you can't turn that off, right? Once you tell me I can do whatever I want, there's no putting that monster back. That's not going to happen.

So, how do you deal with that at large? Also, the longshoreman strike. What does this mean? I mean, we're going to have major disruption. How.

Welcome to the second hour of the radio program, Dana Lash with you. Channel 347 Direct TV is where you can also watch the simulcast. You might already be watching it, so you know this.

We're also at Rumble. That's where the chat happens, and you can find the stream at X2. All right, so. The longshoreman's strike, I said last hour we were going to touch on this because We've all been through supply chain crisis, a supply chain crisis before. And we all we've all had issues with shipping and everything due to everything that happened with.

the Ronavirus.

Now, if you liked how Biden and Harris handled immigration at the southern border, you're going to love this one. Yeah. Well, it's the supply chain. It's a port strike. And It's gonna get bad.

That's all I gotta say. It's gonna be massively disruptive. The It's going to be East Coast ports longshoremen are preparing to strike. From New England to Texas. The strike is set to happen early Tuesday, the first walkout of its kind in almost half a century.

Freezing commercial shipping on a massive scale. And it would be the biggest disruption. This is how heavy this is. The biggest disruption to the flow of goods in and out of the country since the height of the pandemic.

So, even a short-lived work stoppage would snarl shipping and create. Havoc. and supply chains for weeks.

So, everything from cars to electronics, food to furniture would be stuck on ships offshore. And according to analysts, Each day That a strike Lasts, it could cost the U.S. economy up to a billion dollars. A billion dollars. That's a lot.

And I I you have Gino Raimondo as the Commerce Secretary. She was asked about this. Audio is done by 36.

Well, what is she hearing? If dock workers strike and it goes on longer than a week, what are you prepared to do? Listen. Where have you been kind of focused and hearing on what would happen if the strike goes, let's say, longer than a week? Uh again, I have not been very focused on that.

What?

So Gina Raimondo, who is literally the commerce secretary. hasn't been focused on it at all. Pooh Booty juice is nowhere to be found.

Okay, well, I mean, who the hell is in chart? Oh, let's see. Biden. What has Biden said? Biden was asked about.

Hmm. The strikes.

Now he was asked about the strikes in Yemen. This is what he said to the strikes in Yemen. Audio 7 by 7. Mr. President, will you deploy more?

U.S. troops to the Middle East. Mr. President, has Betanyahu gone too far? Any contact?

on the strikes in Yemen, Mr. President. He was asked about the strikes in Yemen and he says, Well, I'm supporting a collective bargaining effort. Oh my gosh, well.

So that's the guy who's running the country.

Okay, so um there's that. Is it now? Is he? running the con Dre in air quotes.

So There's that. All right, so we have no idea really what our commerce secretaries.

Now, I've not been following that. That was embarrassing. This is like the. Every actually Every single time she's asked a question, she does not know about that. What was the last several things?

We've played, that's all the sound bites we have are her. Like, I don't know about that. I don't know. Shimariah carries it. I don't know her.

I don't know her. So, this is just weeks before the presidential campaign, huh? You'd think Democrats would want to solve this? You would think they would. And Harris, who's the vice president, hasn't said anything, realized that as As, what's his face?

Walls, balls, whatever, Tim Walls. As he hit. Come on, it is an honest mistake. As he hits the stage during the VP debate tomorrow with JD Vance, that's when apparently the porch shutdown began. They yeah.

That's when the port shutdowns begin. I wonder if that's going to come up tomorrow. My gosh, Tim Walls is going to try so hard. To be the everyman. We're going to talk about this.

That that'll be our next topic here. It's the International Longshoremen's Association, 47,000 members, and the U.S. Maritime Alliance. They represent container carriers and port operators. All their discussions have been stalled since summer.

The labor contract expires tonight.

So beginning at 1201. They could Go on strike. And the longshoremen, they load and unload cargo at ports. They work the cranes that haul those containers. Those are actually super fun to watch.

The big cranes that haul the containers on and off the cargo ships. They maintain the equipment. This is important stuff. And they said that the ports that they're expecting to close Uh major maritime hubs in New York, Baltimore, Norfolk, Savannah and Houston.

Now, there on the west coast, because some people have asked, well, Is it affecting the west coast too? It's not because they are represented by a separate union. That They had a contract agreement already last year.

So the ports, like in the north, in the Pacific Northwest. And in California, they're not going to be affected by this. But But They could say in solidarity We're going to refuse to handle cargo. All right, now I don't know if that would put them at odds with They're I mean they just negotiated and got a contract a year ago.

So wouldn't that kind of be spitting in the face of that? I don't know. W don't you think so? Kane, is that spitting in the face of it? Are you spitting?

I mean, if you're like on Solidarity, even though they got a nice contract a year ago, would that be spitting in the face of it? I don't know. Kind of. How's that interpreted? Yeah, I mean, I guess it could be interpreted both ways, but I would just be like if I was a crane operator.

To me it would be a sad day when I couldn't operate a crane. I mean, I don't, I've never done that, but to me, it's just like a giant version of that. You know, the toy thing. The fact that this strikes this strike is even being considered right now shows that there's actually been a long history of grievances that they've had. and it has not been addressed by anyone, let alone the administration.

So will they they have no excuse me they have no way Right now. Nothing from the administration. at handling this.

So they look at it's the International Longshoremen's Association, so it's East Coast, 36 ports. East and Gulf Coast. And it looks like everybody may have to divert to West Coast. That's good you know how much more expensive that would be?

So think of it. they would have to it depending on how long it goes on with East Coast port, Shippers then may have to divert to West Coast. Think about how much more expensive that makes something. Yeah. if it has to be diverted all the way around the other side of the country.

And then to get it to wherever you are, that's going to be that's prices are going to skyrocket. And how does that affect? an economy that is already dealing with Bidenflation. I mean, what about factories that need parts and things like that. I mean this it there was a pull this up.

This is a CNN piece that said There are shortages, higher prices, even factory parts, everything. It could actually. Disrupt not just, you know, more than just obviously consumption. But it could disrupt plant operations. If it halts the delivery of supplies and parts for other factories.

It's in New York and New Jersey. They're both affected by this. That's the third largest port by volume of cargo handled. And it also, now listen to this, it also affects places like Port Wilmington and Delaware. Support Warm Wilmington and Delaware.

That's the banana port. That brings in the biggest share of bananas to the United States. 1.2 million metric tons of bananas come through that port. 90% of cherries, imported cherries, 82% of hot peppers, 80% of imported chocolate come through all the containers offloaded at those ports, according to the American Farm Bureau.

Now it's getting scarier now. Here's where we're getting scary. This is where we're getting scary, guys. 80% gain of imported beer, wine, and whiskey, and scotch. And 60% of rum Arriving at East And Gulf Coast ports.

That's sixty percent? Eighty and sixty. Yeah. Yeah, that's the top import at the uh Port of New York in New Jersey. We're going to have to work with Juan to like come up with some kind of rum running operation.

a rum running operation from San Juan to To Dallas. Shh I didn't say that. I was just speculating. Don't make me talk about the purge. Ooh, speaking of the purge, hold up.

Was he? Serious? Or was he joking? Trump with the purge stuff. I'm curious.

Here's why I bring that up.

So. He was uh giving remarks. On Sunday he was in Erie, Pennsylvania. I was there with Mike Kelly. And he was talking about crime and illegal immigration.

This is Audio Soundbite 5. This is what he said. Listen. He's a great congressman. Would you say, Mike, that if you were in charge, you would say, oh, please, don't touch them, don't touch them, let them rob your store, let all these stores go out of business, right?

They don't pay rent, the city doesn't have the whole, it's a chain of events. It's so bad. One rough hour, and I mean real rough. The word will get out and it will end immediately.

So everyone's like, he's talking about the purge. And all these leftist media outlets, the same ones who had nothing to say when people were talking about eliminating Trump, et cetera, they were like, these are dangerous. I actually don't I I don't ju I don't trust them to determine what is or isn't dangerous. But they said, Oh, he's this is dangerous and he's talking about a purge. And well, I I think he has to be joking because that it wouldn't work.

I mean, A, it's not constitutional, B, it's just not something that would work. And C, remember what I told you? Like, if you give me the green light to act. and pull some shenanigans to act up and pull shenanigans. I'm never going to stop.

How do you turn that off, right? How do you turn that off? And also Doesn't all of this operate kind of under the assumption that there are more good guys than bad guys? But do you know why the bad guys persist? Because they're like really good at being bad guys.

They're like professional bad guys. You know what I mean? Like you're not going to out criminal a criminal because they thought of it. You know what I'm saying? Like that's just not, it's like when your parents go, don't think of it, because I've already done all of it before.

Right? I don't know. But Cain brings up a really good point too. Then what happens if they're like, okay, we did this, now let's introduce martial law and keep it forever? Just saying.

So no, I don't I don't like giving I don't like suspending rule of law like that in a republic. No matter what. government loves to do it under the guise of emergencies. I know but that doesn't make it okay okay, so that we're just gonna just this just disregard re do you realize that the reason we have a republic still is because we have good people who observe rule of law? Yeah.

With the understanding that there is a republic and we live in it. I mean, I get that Democrats don't, but we still do. And that's what's saving it. But you can't Once you allow everyone to just go through a purge, you're never going to stop that. There are going to be people who are like, no, I like this too much.

I mean, you give me an opportunity to be a warlord. I'm going to be a warlord. I'm just saying. It's just, I'm really. I'm really good at the game of risk.

I m I may in my mind be like 6'10 and weigh 500 pounds. in my mind and not in reality. But I am really good with strategy and I can at least, you know Figure out some stuff. I'm just saying. Like don't don't let those people have that.

You're never going to stop that once you start it. He said he'd put Mike Kelly in front of it. I don't think Mike Kelly was aware of that. He would have Mike Kelly be like the purge minister. Oh boy.

Yeah, you can't turn it off. And then you invite the government to come in and go, Oh, martial law?

Okay. Oh, now we're going to have to have all these strict laws and oversight. You you guys you wanted to suspend the rule of law. We're going to have to have l new laws now, the ones we like. I don't want to give them that opportunity.

It's always good to have options for self-defense, especially if you live in areas where they try to restrict where you can carry, what you can carry. I always advocate for people to carry, and I have zero problem myself in using lethal force to protect myself or protect my loved ones. If you're in a city like a friend of mine in DC who can't carry everywhere she needs to go and you want to be able to defend yourself, but your options are limited, you should check out the Burna gun because the Burna gun is going to give you that alternative option of self-defense.

All right, so apparently Earth is going to have a temporary mini moon for a few months. Oh I like it. Is that gonna be like Mu Dang and mini hip hop? I'm obsessed with that hip-hop. Earth is going to have a temporary mini-moon.

Only for two months, though. It's actually an asteroid. It's about the size of a school bus. It's 33 feet. And it whizzes by Earth.

Actually, it's already whizzing by right now. It's out there whizzing. And it's going to be temporarily trapped by our planet's gravity and orbit the globe. Only for two months, though. Yeah, so it's up there whizzing away right now.

The mini moon. And uh that's it, it's just basically a boss. A size asteroid. I'm alright with that. Israeli airstrikes report.

Oh no, more Houthis. Israeli jets strike Houthi terror assets in Yemen. They hit their power planes in a seaport. used to transfer Iranian weapons to the region.

So good. And they also killed 37 militants. The US hit Syria with airstrikes, killing 37 militants over there. Also, let me pull this one up. This, um.

Is Oh, we already talked about this, this order from the Florida. That uh that uh that anti-28 order that was immediately Put to the wood chipper by the DeSantis administration. In British Columbia, there's a man in his garage, it's on video. And a bear charged him. And all caught on camera.

The guy, Alex Gold, he had security camera footage. He was unloading groceries. from his vehicle right there in his garage and a bear wandered through. And he came back to his car and he just legit bumped into the bear. He said that the bear was hissing and it charged at him.

He's clapping his hands at it. And he said, you know, he didn't run because you're not supposed to. How many people that remember that? Like, don't run. Stick with us.

Keep your finger on the pulse with the Dana Show podcast, delivering timely news with insightful analysis whenever you want, straight to you on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts.

So it's reported that Israel looks ready to mount a limited ground invasion of southern Lebanon. centered on clearing out Hezbollah, And their infrastructure near the Israeli northern border. Welcome back to the program. Uh Dana Lash with you. This was I mean, it's kinda it's to be expected.

Considering I mean, we're coming up on a year since October 7th. There are still hostages. that Hamas hasn't turned over. Hezbollah is now attacking from the north. And John Kirby still thinks that the diplomatic course, Audio Sumbite 18, is the best way.

Listen to this. I think what we would agree on is that there needs to be an effort to de-escalate here. Again, Israel has a right to defend itself and a responsibility to do so. I mean, Hezbollah, under Mr. Nizrallah, was a lethal threat to the Israeli people.

They want to get their families back to those homes and kibbutzes in the north. We want to see that too. We believe and continue to believe that an all-out war with Hezbollah, certainly with Iran, is not the way to do that. If you want to get those folks back home safely and sustainably, we believe that a diplomatic path is the right course. I don't understand his both ways.

Like, he wants it both ways. He says, well, you know, we need to pursue a diplomatic course, and there's a responsibility to de-escalate. Yes, they absolutely have a right to defend themselves. When he says, That there ought to be or needs to be de-escalation. Who is he specifically referencing?

Because Israel is thrown in Into the context of that, simply because they weren't differentiated, they weren't removed from it. He didn't say, well, Hezbollah needs to de-escalate or Hamas needs to de-escalate. In fact, none of these people who talk about de-escalation, they never talk about the antagonists de-escalating. They just say generally there needs to be de-escalation.

Well, what about the person or the entity that's responding and defending themselves and trying to get their people back? Why would you include them in any kind of de-escalation? Remark. That's like if someone broke into your home, say there was A Venezuelan gang that broke into your home and kidnapped your kids and busted up your house and injured you. And then you responded, it would be like someone telling you a year later: well, you can't, you got to de-escalate.

De-escalate what? There wasn't an escalation. It was just a terror attack. A murderous attack. I mean, they had been leading up to that.

They had been non-stop shelling. Israeli people shelling Israel, sending over rockets, etc., etc., not just Hamas, but also Hezbollah.

So that's where the escalation has always been. But you don't tell people defending You you wouldn't you wouldn't tell your your spouse, well, we have to de-escalate. What do you mean de-escalate? Because that sounds like disengage to me. And ultimately, I think that's what some people mean when they're using that word to reference Israel's reaction.

Oh, well, they need to disengage or not defend themselves. But yet It's never Hamas or Hezbollah that's told to de-escalate specifically. Why don't they ever get into that level of specificity?

Well, it's They need to it's Hamas and Hezbollah that must de-escalate. Instead of just saying generally, well, you know, we have to de-escalate. There's a responsibility to de-escalate. There's only one party responsible in de-escalating, and that's the antagonist that escalated it and started all of it in the first place, and has not returned any hostages yet. And it's a year later, diplomatic course to get hostages back clearly hasn't worked.

It hasn't worked. I don't know if some of them will ever be rescued. Uh It's very clear that it's been a year later and they're not going to give anybody back. We know there are babies that were taken. They're even still alive anymore.

They probably don't even remember their families. It's horrible.

So there's no de-escalation. There's just elimination at this point. And Hezbollah and Ahmad, they've got to be entirely eliminated. If they if in If they don't choose to de-escalate and the world is too terrified to specifically tell them to de-escalate, then they have to be eliminated. I mean, if you're so scared of telling a group of people to knock it off because you're afraid that they might react.

Maybe they should be eliminated. Terrorists should be eliminated. This is insane. We're still having this question these these discussions.

Well, I mean that you know Diplomatic courses. If someone had kidnapped my kids, I would destroy every single person and their entire family trees. I would leave your legacy in ash There would be nowhere where you could hide. I would be I it would be a demon on earth after you. There is nothing Nothing that would stop.

And I think if you If they, especially these children, they take these hostages, they keep, I mean, good, there's no deterrent. Bad guys and barbarians, that's an insult to barbarians. Brutal people have to live in fear. of what happens if they wrong innocent people. If they target innocent people, there isn't a deterrent.

Kane says I would kill them so hard they would die to death. I'd kill them and bring them back just so I could repeatedly kill them, and it would be a never-ending cycle. and every single time would be worse. Oh my goodness. See, this is why Trump is talking about a purge.

Was he talking about a purge or was he saying, like, law, just let law enforcement do their job? What was he saying? The ladder, yeah. It was about law enforcement doing their job, allowing them to do their job. Part of me was like, yes, let there be a purge, because I know I would be fine.

And that's kind of scary that It's like, wait, what? What kind of person would I be to be fine? You know what I mean? Like, in that kind of. Then I think that scares me more than the idea of there being total lawlessness, right?

Like, what kind of person would you have to be to thrive in that kind of 'Cause they're always baddies, right? Just saying.

Just saying.

So, a few other, there's, there's, we've been talking about the. Election, the debate is tomorrow. Do you guys want to hear Kamala Harris accidentally going off script and trying to talk economy? Because I do. Audio sum by 12, please.

First of all, Latina small businesses are the fastest growing in the country. Right, right. But included in that is that we don't lack for people who have ambition and have aspirations and dreams and an idea that is a great idea and work ethic. But not everybody has access to the capital. And I believe strongly that our small businesses are the backbone of America's economy.

So when we grow and strengthen small businesses, we all benefit. Oh my gosh, I'm so bored. What is she what is like her what is she trying to get into here? Like you're just wanting to give people money randomly? What is she talking about?

Kane, are you alright? It's only Monday, dude. I literally felt like an aneurysm created immediately in my brain hearing that. If she cared about small business, they wouldn't have tried shutting them down during COVID. That's number one.

Uh number two, they wouldn't be over spending tax money that they currently Can't and don't have. They're spending what they don't have, and that's causing inflation, the cost of money to go up. And in order to do any business, you've got to. Inject cash into your business so that cost is going up for businesses as well. Everything she's done has been a detriment to small business.

For her to say that is just laughable, and it gives me a headache.

Well She knows more. Than you because Because That's it. Yeah, I I know just I know I know It's especially her unrealized gains thing. By the way, I was reading this interesting piece. This is true, it's over at Texas Scorecard.

We are already living that right now. Yeah. On In Texas. You we are we already pay. Unrealized gains.

The theoretical increase in a uh in uh an item's value That you just, if you haven't sold it, you just haven't realized the income. This is like the gentle, like me and my friends are just like realizing stuff. Can you give me that audio sound bite? Because that's unrealized gains right there. Me and my friends were just like realizing stuff, like realizing things.

We talk about that all the time, but this is what I hear, this is what I think of whenever she talks about unrealized gains. Listen. Hold on. Spotty if Yeah. Yeah, it's gonna do an ad.

But homeowners, even though we in Texas you you don't have an income tax. Or you think and you're not taxed like on your actual gains. Like I feel like every year has a new energy. And I feel like this year is really about like the year of just realizing stuff and everyone around me, we're all just like realizing things. See, that's what your assets are doing.

Like we're realizing stuff. But what if what if I haven't realized anything? You're still getting taxed. I've realized things.

Okay, you can get taxed 'cause you've realized that I'm I haven't realized anything.

Okay, then you don't get but seeing. What?

I was going to say, she's trying to unburden us from what hasn't been yet. Yeah, exactly. Like, don't, don't, no, she's trying to burden you by what hasn't been.

So In Texas. property values. Think about it. As your property value increases, so do the taxes, correct? Right?

There are people who get Property tax out of their property because you never really own your own property. Property taxes are Marxism. It's Marxism that we think is acceptable in the United States. Not, I don't think it is, but generally, nobody raises a fit about it. But it is.

So you have rising property values in Texas, means that property, I fight my property tax. Every single time I'm like, oh, uh uh And nobody wants that drama coming into the office and dealing with that.

So they just are like, oh my gosh, what makes her go away? I am the person that will literally fight with you on everything. I am that person. Like red light cameras, these are unconstitutional. And I will come in and be my own attorney, and they'll just be like, get her out.

Get out, get out.

So Squeaky wheels do get the grease, by the way. They get all the grease. Nom, nom, nom grease, right?

So think about it though, in Texas, and this is a great piece of our Texas scorecard. You know, when your property is Increasing Um You're and you're not Selling it. You're literally. being taxed on what you haven't a value you have not realized. Right?

It's It's her policy in action. And so you have people who purchased, say, you know, retirees that have purchased their house 30 years ago. And their property tax has increased to the point where now they can't pay their property tax because a value on their property. Which is And in Texas they're rising like crazy. They they they haven't sold it.

They haven't realized it.

So their tax obligations exceed their ability to keep up with to pay it.

So, you're taxing them on wealth that they haven't realized. That they have they've made no use of that's just the val the assessed value of their home. That is an unrealized gain. And that's Texas, it's real bad. And it's something that they're having to fight at the legislative level.

It'd be great, by the way, if more could be done, Republicans in Austin.

So I'm just, and Republicans always talk about ending the property tax, but they are, they're too, they're pansies, they're absolute pansies about it. Oh, it's stuff that they'll talk about privately, but they won't put in a public speech. It's stuff that they'll lower their voice and talk to you about how much they agree with you. But then when it comes to proposing actual action, they don't do anything. I mean, don't sit here and talk about capping the appraisal.

It's Marxist. Property taxes need to be eliminated entirely. There are smarter and less Marxist ways to go about. funding things like emergency and, you know, et cetera, roads and that. But this isn't the way to do it.

or Florida woman Uh because that's what happened here in Tampa. A drunk Florida woman ran into a barrier wall in the I-Florida in Tampa. And then on Sunday, after when the trooper showed up, she grabbed his man bits and bit his leg. Yep, twenty five year old Tyshiro Williams of Largo. She crashed into a barrier wall.

when they when troopers arrived she was impaired they were taken under a into custody she resisted had to be physically restrained as officers As they try to restrain her, she Grab the junk of one trooper and then bit another trooper's leg.

So she got charged with resisting uh with violence in a DUI, according to Florida Highway Patrol. I don't know why I thought that they would wear cups, but it makes sense that they don't, but now I'm like, well. Golly, you know, there's because there's no way to like put one on before you go over and you know, got to do your stuff, or good heavens. Um I don't even know. I...

This guy, this Florida man. Uh was He got in trouble because he was hiding drugs in his nose. From the police. And It didn't work as you can imagine. This was in St.

Petersburg. Joel Wallace was pulled over for speeding. And this is on Miles Stretch Road in Holiday, Florida. He refused to stop originally, so they it was a high-speed chase, and he just high-speed chased him right on home. He had literally went home, and then apparently, while en route during the high-speed chase to his house, he He tried to snort the rest of the cocaine that he had in his car.

I don't know why people. You think like cheating, like flirting with death is going to be better than just get. I mean, stop it. And when they finally got him, he had white residue all over his nose, and he was telling them that he didn't have white residue all over his nose and that he didn't have any cocaine, and he had no idea why they thought he had illegal drugs or why he was attempting to conceal them because he didn't have any cocaine, except for the fact that he literally had white powder all over his nose because he tried to snort the remainder of the cocaine. That's horrible.

So he's totally in jail. A naked Florida man claims to be the devil and terrorizes women. I mean, it's 2024, so he could be, or maybe he's Anthony Wiener. I don't know. A naked Florida man says he was the devil, terrorizes women.

His name was is a Roberlandus pina. He decided to break and do a Florida woman's home totally butt naked and said he was the devil, according to WTVJ. And he walked into her apartment and said that he went into her bedroom. Apparently broke into her apartment, went to her bedroom, told her she had to die. And uh and then she tried to run away.

He grabbed her, dragged her by her hair inside. Then he's then He, uh, she has a husband who wasn't there. He was at work. He began stealing her husband's underwear. This story never ends, by the way.

And the neighbors ended up calling the cops because they heard all of this stuff. And then, when the police showed up, the devil was still yelling and swearing. He said he was the husband because, look, would he have all this underwear if he wasn't? I'm not even kidding you. Yeah.

And then It was crazy. It's crazy.

So the guy gets, he's, he was arrested, charged with burglary, assault, battery. I don't know, man. What in the world? You know, was it a full moon, hurricane weather? I don't know.

Stick with us. Welcome to the third hour of the program. And you can follow along on Rumble where the chat happens, X channel 347, DirecTV. The Couple of things. We've been talking about the longshoremen, the port the the dock workers.

That's that's going to kick off, what, minute 1201 a.m. Tonight, well, tonight, technically tomorrow, Tuesday, end of, I mean. Whew got the V P debate tomorrow. And then you have what could potentially be a massive, just a huge disaster. For supply chain.

And that's the longshoremen's union strike, which we've been talking about last hour. I think that's like one of the biggest stories right now. And Gina Raimondo. I still can't get over the sound bite. I cannot get over the sound bite.

She's literally the commerce secretary. Kane, for people who don't know, what's a commerce secretary do?

Well, she's in charge of all that commerce, especially the ones that involve our ports, because that's. There's a lot of product imported into the United States. Yeah. A huge. A huge amount of product.

I mean, think about your fruit, your whiskey, your wine, your supplies for factories. Parts at factories, literally everything. And this affects the eastern seaboard going all the way into the Gulf. The Western side of the country isn't affected because it's a different union. And a year ago, they had a different contract.

However, that still you know, there's still a possibility they could walk off in solidarity. But for this, for this situation, Uh, there's, I mean, they've been trying, they've been negotiating, nothing's in sight, so uh, tomorrow could be the big strike day. And people are warning about You can either have it, well, a combination of both, empty shelves. And for the products that would come in. That would come in on the East Coast.

Prices are going to skyrocket on that. 45,000 doc workers. That's thirty six ports. Shortages, price increases, especially if things have to be redirected to the western side of the country. Imagine that.

Think about it: Walmart, Home Depot, IKEA, Amazon. all all of this stuff. Especially Amazon. Woo! Amazon could get hit by this.

They said that they're looking at a supply chain disruption similar to what we saw at the height of the pandemic, at the height of the Rona. That's what we're looking at.

So they wanted they're demanding a pay raise. It's about 77% over six years.

So that means a typical wage will go from $81,000 to $143,000. That's a pretty big Wage increase.

So they said that The strike, you're going to see higher prices and empty shelves. That's what you're going to see.

So, retailers are trying to reroute stuff to west coast ports and use air freight. But they can't do that for everything. And that's, I mean, it's only kind of a somewhat of a solution. And it's also, you're going to see things get a lot more expensive. And there's going to be delays.

Okay. lot of delays so they They have been negotiating with the United States Maritime Alliance.

So that's the entity that. The Longshoremen's Union Association has been uh negotiating with. They haven't had any other negotiations since June. This would be the first strike since seventy seven. And since before I was alive.

So they And there's a lot that would be affected.

So, the two busiest for auto ports, Baltimore and Brunswick, Georgia. Philly, which gives priority to fruits and vegetables New Orleans, which handles coffee And Then you have other ports affected Boston, New York, New Jersey, Norfolk, Virginia. Wilmington, South Carolina North Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina, Savannah, Georgia, Tampa, Florida, Mobile, Alabama, and Houston.

So lots of delays, lots of delays. And they said that they're trying to seek. One of the, someone was saying that under the Taff Hartley, he could, Biden could maybe seek. a a a cooling off period to suspend the strike. But the administration has already said that.

Well, not through Biden, through one of his underlings, that there's so far there's no intention or desire for the administration to do it. Does this benefit Democrats for this to happen this close to election? I wouldn't imagine this helps hurts or helps anybody this close to election. But You know, here we're five weeks away, and you're going to have a significant strike. I don't know how long it would go on for.

But I you know at Maybe the administration is saying they have no plans to take the tart. Hartley, the Taft Hartley Act now, but You know, if if If they're impacted by this, you know, maybe. Maybe they could. I don't know. Do you think this hurts?

Does this hurt Democrats, Kane? Do you think it hurts Democrats? I would say so. I mean, I think anything that you would think it would, but I don't know.

So far, I I haven't really seen anything from um Harris on this, which was one of the things I was looking in my notes for. I haven't really seen anything from her on this. But I don't know. We'll see. But they This would uh The Taft Hartley Act, it would it restricts the activity.

Of labor unions and things like that. And this is a Truman thing.

So this is back in the 40s.

So I don't even know. Has it ever been implemented? I don't know. Question. Yeah.

So This is you have the supply chain disruption of 2021.

Now you're going to probably More. It's pro it's it could be. It could be. That's definitely what everybody's anticipating.

So, yeah, you might wanna stock up on some stuff.

Now the uh longshoremans They were saying that they're not going to accept any other, you know, the offers that have come in from the Maritime Alliance and, et cetera, et cetera.

So. I don't know. People, I He I The Biden administration, and this was CNN. and a piece that they ran a few days ago. They had said that we've never invoked Taft Hartley to break a strike.

We're not going to do it now. And Yeah. Doesn't sound like they will.

So, the whole purpose, by the way, of that act, and it was like in 1947 under Harry Truman, was to regulate what unions. during a period of emergency, what a national emergency, what unions can and can't do.

So it's saying that they can't engage in unfair practices is is is what what really what it's about. Uh and Is it considered a national emergency period though? Or them striking? Does that constitute a national emergency when they strike? See, I mean, there's questions.

So we'll see how far it goes. We'll see how long it goes. But in the meantime, what you can get, I would say certain things that you can get at the store, you should probably get. I don't think you need to get totally full-on crazy. But maybe it would be smart to stock up on some stuff, you know?

That might be a smart thing to do. Because The st the strike is is Economically, it's depending on how long it goes on, it could be pretty damaging. And uh This I don't know, it's just very interesting that this is happening right before. Right before an election. Right before an election, I'm telling you.

Now A few other things. to touch on Segwaying, using this to segue into some immigration, I wanted to pull up. Bear with me because I got a lot of stuff up. I wanted to pull up this story. that I had found.

And this is a pretty crazy story. There's a story of These eight illegal emigrants. that were arrested in Tennessee. On looting, burglaring, flood ravaged victims in eastern Tennessee.

So people who are here illegally And they are ar they were arrested because they were looting. They were arrested for looting hurricane victims. And I I think that's interesting in that This Eh This is just how unbelievably widespread, and how every single week now. Every single week, I have a story of that involves someone who came to the country illegally committing a crime against someone else. Like we had the trooper officer Lee in St.

Louis who was killed when someone from Venezuela who entered illegally, who had been deported repeatedly too, by the way, who entered illegally and was drunk driving and didn't have a license and plowed into him at 8:30 in the morning as he was working a crash scene. It's like every week we have. We have some kind of A story like this. And now we have these eight dudes, and they're all young dudes. And they were arrested for looting.

People are dealing with floods and losing everything that they have over a flood, and they're now having to also deal with this on top of it. I mean, it's it's Just it's a shame. This is horrible. By the way, where's Biden? Anyone know?

I just saw another picture of him on the beach. It's a new one. It's a newer one. He's sitting there with Jill. They're chilling on the beach.

People are flooding. People are being flooded. Got a hurricane coming in. He's uh been on the beach and and Harris has been Campaigning and fundraising. I'm not saying that you can't.

you know, multitask. but it just seems to be a bad optic. Right? Like, peop didn't people get mad at Bush when he would go back to his ranch at Texas, in Texas, and do ranch work if there was a disaster somewhere? And he would be really and people would be really upset by it.

Do you remember when there was uh after Hurricane Katrina, people got mad at him because he was they p they had a photo of him like at the desk on the phone and uh he was getting ridiculed for I guess they wanted him down there physically in Louisiana. But Harris can release a photo that looks like bad AI. And She's at the desk looking at a white piece of paper and she's got earbuds that aren't even plugged in. And that's I mean, she gets a total pass. Juan's showing you.

It's weird. I mean, her, it's totally not even plugged in. But why does her head look like at such a weird angle? White piece of paper. Got her coffee cup.

She's is that Air Force One, I guess, that she's on? Actually, that's a good question. I think she's just deep in thought here, right? She's just She's like got the thinking man pose. Yeah.

The thinking is convinced? No, I'm not convinced at all. I mean, not that she thinks. I'm not. I mean, I've got audio here to the contrary of that.

If you would like to hear, I think we should play. I mean, you know, she's talking about what she wants to do to help protect our. Sporters, audio Soundbite 9, do you believe her on this? Go ahead, go ahead. permit scapegoating.

Instead of solutions. And let's see what's happening. Let's not permit scapegoating instead of solutions. Or rhetoric. Instead of results.

As your president, I will Protect our nation's sovereignty. Secure our border and work to fix our broken broken system of immigration. And I will partner with Democrats, Republicans, and Independents to do it. Why didn't you Why can't you do it now? You're the Vice President of the United States.

Why can't you do it now? When she's like, we're going to change, like, from what? From you? Like you're there, you're in office. What Why can't you do it now?

Like a million dollar question. Why not now? Doesn't make any sense. We have more on the way. I'm also curious as to, gosh, I'm fascinated by this.

This It hopefully I hope it's not a strike. But Golly. Nothing from Biden on it. Although he said that he he was actually he thought he was addressing it when he was asked about the strikes from Yemen. And he said that he supports the The bargaining efforts.

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

So apparently There are actually get out of jail free cards. Did you know this? You didn't know this. How is that?

So it's like actually a thing apparently.

So pure the hill, every police officer in New York, including retired officers, are allowed to buy a certain number of special cards issued by the union. They pay a nominal sum for the cards. They distribute them as they wish.

Sometimes they can give them to family and friends. You can use them for perks like meal discounts.

Sometimes they sell them. It's the Police Benevolence Association courtesy cards.

Some people call them the get out of jail free cards.

So the idea is when someone who has a card is pulled over for a traffic violation or approached by police for a minor offense. If you show the card to the officer, it basically lets you go on with nothing more than just a warning. I've heard of stories like this, but I don't know. I don't know if I believe it, right? Because.

You've got to enforce the law without fear of favor. You know what I mean? So, I, and I think that there's a lot of good guys out there.

So, I, I don't, I just know, I don't know anyone that this has ever happened to. Do you? I hear about these things, but there's never been anyone who's like, yeah, I did it and it worked. You know? I don't know.

Just. Oh, anyway.

So, oh look at this. They they're trying to tell you that. It's not the injection, but just alcohol that's linked to all these cancers. Drinking alcohol is linked to six types of cancers, but not the government injection that we still don't know what the hell's in it. Just take it, shut up.

Not that at all. I don't believe any of this stuff that they push. I don't believe a single bit of it. You know why? Because all those octogenarians, or what are the centrinarians, sorry.

The ones that are like over 100, every single time you ask them, what do you do to live long? I be happy and I have a drink every now and then. Not alcoholics, like seriously, learn the difference. But I'm uh so I don't belie I don't believe this stuff. I don't believe it.

So a family, this is Newsweek. Focused on a baby's first steps, they've missed the three-year-old wielding a knife. It's all on video. Everybody's watching this baby take her first steps. But yet.

In the background is a three-year-old with a knife. And it was their daughter's birthday. They were one year old. And unfortunately, Newsweek buries the lead all the way down at the bottom of the article because this person needs to go back to J school and learn how to write a proper story. But they said that the kid was, the toddler was trying to get the cake because they used the knife to cut the cake.

They were trying to get the cake knife to lick the cake off the knife, which is scaring me even more. And so it just literally in the background is this kid wielding a giant knife. It's. Kind of, it's funny and also scary if you're a parent because you're like, you know how quickly that could happen. Oh, by the way, 23andMe is selling your DNA.

So, if you ever use that, which is why I've never used anything like this, yeah, they're selling all your genetic information. They're on the verge of being, they're actually getting, they shut down their in-house drug development until last month. They've been laying people off. And they're selling everything, including their 15 million customers' DNA material. Yeah, look at that.

Stick with us. Stephen Yates next. Make some common sense of the crazy headlines with the Dana Show podcast. Your on-the-go guide for getting up to speed on today's most important stories. Subscribe on YouTube, Apple, or your favorite podcast platform.

Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you, Channel 347 Direct TV. If you're not listening across the country, and you can also catch us on Rumble and X and all that good stuff, we're watching still all of these stories about recovery efforts following Hurricane Helene. Very nice name for a bad hurricane. Just horrible.

I mean, just the destruction. I was reading about the destruction in Augusta, Georgia. Holy cow. Insane. I mean, it's just like these areas were just pummeled.

Biden, though, says that we've given everything that we have. Audio Soundbite 8. Listen to this. Yeah, you are for the victims. Yes, it's tragic.

Matter of fact, we're trying to get the exact number. My senior advisor is on the ground in Florida right now. There's a distinction between the numbers that FIMI's use and the ones that are used by the locals.

So it really is amazing. You saw the photographs. It's stunning. It's unbelievable, but it really is.

So many, such a wide area. And we've given them all everything they have. We're on the ground ahead of time.

So we're working hard. We got Ukraine to get some more money, though. They get more money. And Just saying. Just I see some memes out there with Ukraine and uh where North Carolina should be on the map.

I just I, right before an election, I have a million other things that I wanted to ask him about. I'm trying not to be too tinfoil with this, but our very good friend, Stephen Yates, you can find him at Yates Comms on X, and he is Senior Research Fellow at the Heritage Foundation. And he joins us now as he typically does on Mondays. And we're always grateful for his time because he's one of the smartest people that we know. He's in demand.

Stephen, always good to see you. I know that you're down there in hurricane territory too. I hope that you've weathered, literally weathered the storm okay. It seems like you got some decent power, but our prayers and thoughts are with everybody down there. You went through it okay?

Yeah, we are in an area that is lightly affected by things. We're in a high-rise, not on a beach. Anyone who knows me and knows the state of my pigment knows that I'm not out on a beach in daytime very often. And so I like nighttime beach rides, but those areas tragically were hit very, very hard.

So there's a lot of devastation in any of the low-lying areas. And so it's going to take some time. And I think we're among a lot of other areas that are hit with a cellular outage that I assume is related to the landslides and storms and stuff like that. But all things considered, I can't complain. We're connecting by Wi-Fi and doing okay.

We've got an election. Early voting's already started, an election of five weeks. We've got a number of southern states now, southeastern states dealing with this hurricane recovery. And we now have this stock worker strike that's supposed to kick off tomorrow. And that and that affects mostly the eastern seaboard.

Just a lot of stuff that's just all piling up right ahead of an election. I just kind of wanted to get your thoughts on how these two very different issues. I think one may impact people's thoughts about whom they're going to vote for if they're still undecided more than another. But how does this all play in? Because this is a, it's kind of weird to have this much stuff kick off right before an election like this.

Yeah, funny. It's almost like Hillary Clinton just went on TV and gave an interview saying a lot of things were going to happen between now and the election. I don't know. Yeah. But.

In fairness, I think hopefully this is a reminder to everybody. If you live in a jurisdiction where they have early voting, Go ahead and get that thing in now. Just go ahead because you don't want to wait till election day and there's a cellular outage, a power out. Outage, a storm, or some other thing happens, and all of a sudden a whole bucket of votes just can't really make it in on time.

So sorry when it comes around time to tally up. And so I think. Really, if you're just looking at the contrast. Of one set of candidates who are running for national office that are hitting the areas that are hardest hit, standing with people, and the other team basically going to fundraisers and walking up a ramp to the airplane while ignoring the press. And you know, we've got the sitting president going from beach to camera saying he's done everything and says he was there early or on time or whatever.

I mean, no, they weren't. No, they weren't. Yeah. I mean, it's as if I think people don't know. I mean, I don't even know when the last time it was that Joe Biden got out of Delaware.

Yeah, I just remember, and you were in, and I want to let everybody know too: Stephen, not only did he work under the Trump administration, but he's also in the Bush administration as well. I just remember. I think it was like a photo of Bush on his ranch. In Texas, and he was literally doing ranch work. And from what I understood, he would also kind of make that sort of like how Rancho de Cielo was Reagan's Western White House.

Bush kind of made his Texas ranch, you know, the Texas White House. And he did a lot of work there, but I remember there was a photo that came out and he was doing ranch work, and this was about the time of Katrina, and he was blasted for this. There are photos of Biden. I mean, a million different photos. He had an extended weekend on the beach.

He's on the beach, his mouth's open, he's catching Z's. He's sitting there with Jill. They're under an umbrella. Nothing, nothing, and he's literally sitting and relaxing on the beach while these southern states are getting hammered. Yeah, you're absolutely right about the way those things were done.

And it is, in terms of presidential campaign history, definitely a trend that when natural disasters occur in the closing times of the election season, it usually redounds very poorly for the politician that is in office. These days, though, we have this new trick. Who's actually in office? Who is our president right now? Who's in charge?

Because A lot of the country is sort of nonplussed by this. They know that President Biden has been dialed out since nearly forever, and they know that Kamala Harris is running for president and not running the government while she's doing it. And so I think it's sort of as Vivek Ramaswamy's been saying: it's a system, not an individual. The system is going, and no one knows who the system is.

So they know it's not in North Carolina and Georgia right now. Not there at all. I wanted to switch gears and ask you. He was able to do one thing, although he had to lend his signature to something. This actually surprised me.

And I've seen some people. Because they are critical of the money that's been sent to Ukraine and Israel. And I think it's now because of the way he said, well, we have no more aid for North Carolina or something like that. You have people who are really hurting and, you know, their entire communities are destroyed. But he approved a defense package for Taiwan on Sunday, $567 million in defense assistance for Taiwan.

Now, China, of course, says that, quote, armying Taiwan will backfire after this aid was approved. What do you make of this? And is it the same as comparing what the United States sends to Ukraine, which is way more than this? Because I know a lot of people on the right are kind of saying that it's the same thing and we should be sending more money to like North Carolina and Georgia. What is your take on this?

Because you understand the relationship that the U.S. has with Taiwan, I think, better than anybody else that's on TV.

Well, first off, I think it's a major strategic mistake for the U.S. and Taiwan to be in the aid business. And there's experts in process that say, oh, no, no, this is special programs. This is unleashing things that are immediately needed and they have to go through special channels. And all I call on that is hogwash because they've unleashed billions and billions and billions of dollars of aid to Ukraine over the last few years.

And Taiwan has billions of dollars and is ready, willing, and able to buy. It's time for dopey Americans to get out of the way and let Taiwan buy what it wants and its needs. And if they're going to have people get around with furrowed brow about proliferation risks or what have you, they've been unleashing all this stuff to Ukraine, who's fighting with Russia. You think things aren't going to be a proliferation risk out there? What about stuff all over the Middle East?

What about the $80 billion worth of stuff left in Afghanistan?

So, Crimea River, about the proliferation at this point, I say sell things to someone that's willing to defend themselves so that Americans aren't the 911 and maybe that deterrence can hold.

So, that's very, very different. And in terms of those who say we're impoverished, we are deeply in debt, but terribly, terribly in debt. But there are resources to meet emergency needs. This is just like the border when it comes to emergency response. It's willful neglect if the administration isn't surging resources in.

And if they cared about it, they might even look at military resources and assets who can have. Immediate urgent lift capabilities to go to different areas. They would call up someone like Elon Musk, who seems able to restore telecommunications at the drop of a hat in danger zones. You'd have an all-hands-on-deck approach if you really put Americans first. And that's a great point.

We're talking to our good friend Stephen Yates at YatesCom's on X, because every single thing that I've ever read about Taiwan and any kind of acquisition of any kind of defensive material, for the lack of a better way to put it, they have to go through this whole process of purchasing it and then it has to be approved. And it hasn't been approved every single time. In the Taipei Times, I know that they wrote just what back in July that Taiwan's been one of the largest buyers of U.S. defense equipment, but I know that it has to go through that whole process and that. This administration isn't always keen to approve it every time.

I've had headlines where they've either dragged it out or they haven't, but yet they'll throw all kinds of stuff for free over to Ukraine and Taiwan's like, we are willing to give you money for these things. We often downgrade what we'll sell to Taiwan, too. And it's just an old way of doing things that I don't think makes good sense for American national interests. And a bunch of cardigan-wearing pencil neck geeks from the past will say, oh, this is the way it's always been done, and you're going to provoke the Chinese.

Well, consider them provoked. They've been provoking us pretty badly in a number of ways. And I want our allies to be able to pick up the fight before we need to. And so I think I'll go ahead and roll those risk dice and move the materiel. Sell it.

It's good for jobs in America, good for extended deterrence for the United States. And it's time to get the bureaucrats out of the way. I think what they're doing is trying to set up our allies to fail. In a China contingency, so they can sort of say, Well, they were blameless for slow-rolling things because our allies fell short. And I think that's just sort of the DC defense industrial complex way.

Oh, I want to bookmark that. That's one thing to continue watching. As always, with expert insight, our good friend Stephen Yates at Yates Comms on X. I keep wanting to say Twitter. I think I'm finally over it now to say X.

It's good to see you, my friend. I'm glad that you came through that hurricane unscathed. Thanks so much, Dana. Take care. You too.

We have more to come, folks, as we wrap up this third hour, including my grandma's rule of three. You got Chris Christofferson. McKimby, I'm not going to say his name right. The Kimmy Dutumbo. I did actually.

So is who's the third? Mm. Who's the third? Tito Jackson? Yeah, me.

Is it Tito? We're going to talk about that here when we come back.

Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you.

So if you are new to the program, you know that whenever there's like a celebrity death, I have to go over my grandma's rule of three. My grandma had my other grandmother had a rule of three. Where, if a famous person kicked the bucket, it had to be sometimes, I think it was where she just made it all up. Because the rules seem like they always changed. It had to be like a famous person or someone that you actually knew.

It couldn't be someone that somebody else knew, it had to be like someone that you knew. Or just, and/or a famous person to count in the three slots because there were always deaths in threes. She said, deaths always happen in threes. She's kind of superstitious.

So You had Uh who was it? Tito Jackson last week. And it has to be in the span of like a month. It is a month?

So like two to three weeks? Yeah, two to three weeks is good.

Okay. So you had Tito Jackson. Then Chris Christofferson. eighty eight years old. And then I actually this is Because I It De Kime Mutombo.

He's fifty eight. I didn't know that. He didn't look 58. He actually didn't look 8. Didn't he look older?

I thought he looked a little older. I didn't think he was that old, to be honest with you, but. I think he did. He looked older. Like, he, I was like, oh, yeah, he could be, like, 58, 60.

He could be. But he's passed away. I d like, I don't know and 'cause we had someone on Social media say you asked Steve, you might have to bring up Dana up to speed on Dekembe Sports Ball. I will say, I know who Dekembe Mutumbo is because one time. My husband Um was Where he was like somewhere for business.

I can't even remember. And he met Nickametumbo. And he could not get over how huge he was. Like they just happened to like be in the same hotel. They happened to be Santa, and he could not believe how big he is.

So that's why I knew who he was. I've never seen him play, but I knew who he was because of that. Sports ball, go team.

So that's the three, right? Yeah. Yeah, that's the three.

So I, and he apparently had brain cancer. I didn't even know he had brain cancer. That's so sad. But he was, my husband said he was a very nice guy. He was super nice, very, very nice guy.

So that would be the rule of three.

Now, if there's a famous person. Like tomorrow, oh my gosh, and you got to have two more, and then it's a cycle. You know what I mean? Then it has to keep going. You have to have.

Like it has to be the three. Right.

So I don't know. That's That's the that's the The issue because you were asking me about that. You're like, well, doesn't Tito Jackson isn't he? But that's still within the proper timeframe, the completely arbitrary timeframe that my grandmother had set up. Right.

It looks like James Earl Jones and Phil Dunn. Oh my gosh, I forgot James Earl Jones.

Well, now, wait a minute. But that was back early September. That was. Yeah. Like first week of September.

James Earl Jones. James Earl Jones. So it was like the 8th of September, I think. Who else was with James Earl Jones? Who else passed with him?

Phil Donahue passed at late August, mid to late August. which was two within two to three weeks of I didn't even know he was I don't didn't even know. And then Bob Newhart was. And Bob Newhart. Bob Newhart, I knew.

So maybe that's the. Because Lou Dobbs, I remember, died on the same day Bob Newhart did.

Well, see, then that messes it up. I know.

So we got people that still got to die. Because otherwise. I'm just saying that's the rule of three.

Sounded so sadistic when you said that. I'm not. I'm just telling you what. That's the weird rule that she.

Okay, I'm taking up all your time. Today's stupidity. I'm sorry. You have to die. Cut 19, Nancy Pelosi.

Well, her words speak for themselves. Listen to this. Speaking of the 2024 election, there are a lot of independent and conservative voters who don't necessarily love Trump. They're not Trump loyalists, but they are voting for him because they feel like Democrats haven't done a good enough job tackling inflation, tackling immigration. But I will say this, we have done the best job of tackling inflation that any developed country and it is what is she talking about she thinks you're stupid yeah i think that's where it is yeah exactly folks that does it for us for our program today tomorrow we've got the debate So, you're not going to, we're going to pregame it, and then we'll follow up.
