Wednesday October 2 - Full Show

Just to clarify for our viewers, Springfield, Ohio does have a large number of Haitian migrants who have legal status, temporary protected status.

Well, Margaret, thank you, Senator. We have so much to get to. Margaret, I think it's important to turn out of the economy. Thank you. Margaret, the rules were that you guys weren't going to fact-check.

And since you're fact-checking me, I think it's important to say what's actually going on.

So there's an application called the CBP One App, where you can go on as an illegal migrant, apply for asylum or apply for parole, and be granted legal status at the wave of a Kamala Harris open border wand. That is not a person coming in, applying for a green card, and waiting for 10 years. That's the limitation of illegal immigration, Margaret. Thank you, Senator, for describing the legal process. We have so much to get to, Senator.

We have so much to get in the book since 1990. Thank you, gentlemen. The hot app has not been on the books since 1990. It's something that John LaHarris created, Mark. The audience can't hear you because your mics are cut.

We have so much we want to get to. Thank you for explaining the legal process. Nora. Thank you, Margaret. The economy.

Well, because she is condescending. I mean, I so I watched this debate. I didn't want to, I'm not going to lie, because I wasn't looking forward to it. I wasn't expecting any. you know, humdinger moments out of it.

And I watched this debate. And I I don't know, did we learn anything? I don't know. But I thought the moderators. It well, I will say this, I thought it was actually a particularly polite debate.

Believe it or not, I can say that. It was a particularly polite debate. But that moment when they cut him off and he's trying to correct. how things are recorded on that CPB app, which we've talked about. here before in this space.

when we've had on Border Patrol members. And, you know, we've talked about it before. And it's A, I mean, he's he's he's correct because if you're gonna fact-check somebody. You know, if you're going to be the moderators. and you're going to fact check someone, then you need to be accurate when you're doing it.

Yeah, you can't You can't just be blowing smoke out your backside. You you need to be accurate. when you're doing it and I mean clearly I don't think that they were. And that was, I think, one of. I mean, there were several moments.

in that debate where They would ask Waltz a question. And they would load it up.

So as to protect him. Because any kind of pushback. You know, he would crumple on. He looked nervous when he walked out there. He did.

He looked, and you could say otherwise, he looked nervous. He was rattled. If you get the Substack newsletter, I talked about all of that in there, how I thought. You know, he he looked like he was already Tweaked. I didn't get the jazz hands opening that I really wanted, but whatever.

Not everything can be about me, I guess. And he just. He just, um He just looked goofy, I thought. And he also needs to be told when he is. On stage?

Function. He needs to be made aware of The fact that the camera when you're on stage, even when you are A You know, you're not the one talking, and you know that the camera is on your opponent. And they had to tell him that it was a side-by-side, right? Didn't they tell him you think that it was a sub because it was like he wasn't aware of his own expression. When he was on, it was like he wasn't aware of what his face was doing when he was on camera.

And I just think that that looks weird. And I just feel like that made him, it just made him look goofy, and it just didn't make him look prepared. And I don't know. I mean, we're going to dive into all of this. And I'm going to tell you what I thought the best and worst moments were, what I think that this means.

I don't think that this moves the needle at all for any, you know, the presidential candidates. I really don't. But I also Think there's a couple of other things in play that extend beyond 2024. And there were a couple of disappointments. And I'm going to be really honest about this stuff.

So, welcome to the program, first and foremost. Dana Lash with you. And we're at the top of this first hour, Channel 347 Direct TV. You can also find us on Rumble, et cetera, et cetera, all that good stuff. I um So I watched the debate, and again, if you get the newsletter, I sent this out in the Substack newsletter.

That I, you know, if you sign up for it, so you got my early impressions of this debate.

So you kind of know where I'm going with some of this. Because I was I I don't think that Tim Waltz Made a I don't think he made a major problem for himself except with two gaffes. And I th do feel like um You know, he just. He could have gotten all wound up and and I think that he He has the potential. for someone to make him mad, but he didn't take that bait.

I thought that he didn't I thought that he didn't take the bait. He didn't go into getting ticked off when he could have. And he kind of kept his cool for the most part, right? And I I just think That, well, we're going to play some of the audio. Let's play some of the audio.

Because this was his worst moment: the China stuff. Listen to this. This is when he was asked about China. Audio Soundbite 3. This was wild, watch this.

Governor, you say trust the experts, but those same experts for 40 years said that if we shipped our manufacturing base off to China, we'd get cheaper goods. They lied about that. They said if we shipped our industrial base off to other countries, to Mexico and elsewhere, it would make the middle class stronger. They were wrong about that. They were wrong about the idea that if we made America less self-reliant, less productive in our own nation, that it would somehow make us better off.

And they were wrong about it. And for the first time in a generation, Donald Trump had the wisdom and the courage to say to that bipartisan consensus: We're not doing it anymore. We're bringing American manufacturing back. We're unleashing American energy. We're going to make more of our own stuff.

And this isn't just an economic issue. I mean, I've got three beautiful little kids at home, seven, four, and two. And I love them very much, and I hope they're in bed right now. But look, so many of the drugs, the pharmaceuticals that we put in the bodies of our children are manufactured by nations that hate us. This has to stop.

And we're not going to stop it by listening. Listening to experts.

So he's talking to him about China and then, well, I wanted the Walt one when Waltz kind of just like falls apart on this is audio. Yeah, audio somebody says this is a long one though. Can we just get the part where he's like, I misspoke and we'll play the full one later because I'm not, it's already 12 minutes into the segment and I don't want to play a minute and God help me 245. I'm not going to play the whole segment. That needs to be way shorter.

This, but he like, he, he, he completely fell apart on it. He completely fell apart when he was asked about it. He got pushed one time and he just fell apart when he was asked about China. And we'll get that when we got it queued up. Yeah, go ahead and hit this.

Governor, just to follow up on that, the question was: can you explain the discrepancy? All I said on this was: I got there that summer and misspoke on this.

So I will just. That's what I've said.

So I was in Hong Kong and China during the democracy protests went in. And from that, I learned a lot of. what needed to be an in-governance. All right, well, let's cut this because I wanted the video of them on there also for the simulcast. We'll go back into this.

This is a huge part of it, but we can't play two minutes and 45 seconds. We're going to get into some of the issues that I thought each of them flubbed on. I thought that Vance wiped the floor with them on immigration, and I thought he wiped the floor with them on the economy as well. The CBS News post-debate poll said it was close, but Vance won. And I said to Two in the In my rundown, I thought that Vance won on I thought his substance was better.

And I felt his substance was better, and I also thought. that he didn't make any gaffes, major gaffes. Like Walsh did, I thought that there were two points that Vance performed very poorly. Guns and abortion. And I'm going to deep dive into those.

And I don't, when I'm evaluating a Republican candidate, I don't just evaluate them next to the Republican, I evaluate them knowing. What the GOP can serve, and the standards that I have for my candidates. And I think anybody can look great next to a sack of potatoes like Tim Walls. I thought Vance was, he's a great debater. I thought that his biggest opponent on that stage was the moderators.

I thought he handled them very well. He would answer the question how he wanted to answer, and then he would bring it back around to the original question asked, repeat that question, and then answer it after he set the context. That was very well done. He did that throughout the night. I thought that he flooded the abortion answer.

I thought that that was actually his worst answer. He was not prepared enough and familiar enough with the cases that Waltz cited.

So, as to. quickly Efficiently. And without question, shut those cases down. And we've covered Lorraine's got piece after piece up on Substack, chapter and verse, where we've gone through those individuals that Tim Walz brought up. Those weren't cases, those weren't abortion cases.

It was medical malpractice. And the two of the women that he cited had taken the birth control, the abortion pill. The one woman, particularly, that Walsh cited three times, took not one, but two abortion pills. She waited hours after she started experiencing the consequential side effects that everybody warns about with this pill. And then she waited hours to go to the hospital.

But at that time, sepsis had already set in, and she was bleeding and she was in bad shape.

So that has nothing to do with abortion and whether or not it's run by the states. That was her taking the abortion pill, two of them, her not seeking medical care. And then, for whatever reason, even though she had no viable life inside of her at all whatsoever, the staff at that hospital was slow to do anything. And it wasn't because Because there was any kind of law preventing them from doing so. And so I felt if Vance was better prepared on those cases, he would have shut that down.

And so I thought. That was a disappointing moment. Those two answers, though, deserve their own segment. We're going to talk about that after headlines. I also thought that.

Uh the A couple of different as it relates to immigration. Uh This was Audio Soundbite 4.

Someone finally asks about those missing kids. Listen.

So, first of all, Margaret, before we talk about deportations, we have to stop the bleeding. We have a historic immigration crisis because Kamala Harris started and said that she wanted to undo all of Donald Trump's border policies. 94 executive orders, suspending deportations, decriminalizing illegal aliens, massively increasing the asylum fraud that exists in our system. That has opened the floodgates. And what it's meant is that a lot of fentanyl is coming into our country.

I had a mother who struggled with opioid addiction and has gotten clean. I don't want people who are struggling with addiction to be deprived of their second chance because Kamala Harris let in fentanyl into our communities at record levels.

So you've got to stop the bleeding. You've got to reimplement Donald Trump's border policies, build the wall, re-implement deportations. And that gets me to your point, Margaret, about what do we actually do?

So we've got 20, 25 million illegal aliens who are here in the country. What do we do with them? I think the first thing that we do is we start with the criminal migrants. About a million of those Those people have committed some form of crime in a way that's not a problem. This is a really good answer that he brought it back to the original question.

It's a long bite, but he brought it back to the original question. And The and that was good because he set the context and then he would bring it back. You set the context and then you would bring it back. By the way, a couple of people asked me about the screenshots that were on the sub stack, my newsletter post. That literally was from last night.

That those where Walls is looking like a loon, that's not photoshopped. Can't get it. You watched it. You can attest. He was like totally unaware of what he looked like on camera.

It oh my gosh, the memes.

So we've got a lot to deep dive in. We're also going to give you the latest on Iran versus Israel. And we're going to also dive into the Hurricane Helene aftermath. We've got that for you as well. We've got, like I said, the hurricane relief.

We've got Israel, Iran, the debate, the election. I've got a couple of new polls for you. Nothing's going to be on this. And I don't think the VP thing is really going to move anything. I do think it's going to help with name recognition for each of those candidates.

So we'll discuss that. But we're going to deep dive into the best and worst answers coming up because I'm a little concerned about two of the answers. Because they're major issues for the right, major issues, like keystone issues for the right. Life can take a toll on our bodies, there's no way around it. And whether it's just sitting for hours on end at your computer or if you're working a physical job, over time, your body pays the price.

So I thought this was funny because they are saying now that Gen X is the most stressed generation alive, but they're also the best at handling it. And we're also called the coolest generation, just gotta say. Gen X, people who are born between 65 and 79, I'm there. I am there, so stop gatekeeping. I barely got in, but I'm there.

Stop it. It's official now. I just cited this very official news article, Kane. It's America's goofy middle children sandwich between the boomers and millennials. And Gen X is all individualistic, non-conformist.

I mean, you know, we did punk zines and tech startups, so everybody can step off. It's aloof, cool, right? But. They're also really self-worthy latch key kids. According to one marketing study, Gen Z or Gen X went through its all-important formative years as one of the least parented, least nurtured generations in US history.

It was the first generation that experienced both parents working outside the home.

So we had to be self-sufficient for survival. That's why we can handle stress. And in genetics fashion, we don't like to let people see that we are stressed. That's a huge study, and they're totally correct. This is weird.

A long lost sea floor discovered beneath the Pacific Ocean could rewrite Earth's history. Are there aliens? Scientists have mapped it. They found that it was unusually thicker and cooler than the surrounding areas, which would signal aliens. The ancient sea floor challenges existing theories about Earth's interior structure.

Is that where King Kong lives down there? And anyway, it's the Nazca plate. and the East Pacific Rise.

So if that's, you know, your jam. It's kind of interesting. Let's see. Oh, I don't care about this chick who left the Washington Post. She's literally nobody.

Green Day was banned from Las Vegas radio stations because Billy Joe Armstrong is a D-bag. He called the city a poo-hole. He didn't say it like that, but he did. And he got mad and I just I just don't know why. I feel like he's got an arrested development because he's like 70,000 years old and he dresses like a 20 year old in 2003 and it's just the height of cringe.

It's the height of cringe. We got a lot more on the way. I can't carry everywhere I would like to carry because we got some dummies out there who think that signs are going to protect you. Oh, I got a gun-free zone sign here. You're magically protected.

Like it puts up some sort of invisible Klingon shield around the whole premises, which, as we all know, it does not.

So in those instances, when you are barred from carrying, You would like to have another option, would you not?

So this is where the burner gun comes in. Burna gun is a different type of non-firearm firearm. It shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can disable threats from like 50 feet away. And they have a bunch of different models. The Berna SD is the most popular model that they have.

In fact, I got a couple of friends who live in DC and New York that got the Berna SD because they didn't want to be turned into statistics by their state. And it is the Burna SD is the best-selling self-defense option. There's no background checks. There's no waiting periods. It's legal in all 50 states.

It ships right to your front porch. And like I said, five-round capacity on this Burna SD. Stun guns, you got one or two shots. Burna, you got five. Chemical irritant projectiles.

And like I said, it'll disable a threat from up to 50 feet away. Learn more about the burner gun. Visit burna.com slash dana for 10% off of your purchase. That's B-Y-R-N-A. Check out these other options that you have, right?

Kamala Harris is pitching $25,000 for first-time homebuyers while trying to build millions of new homes with government funds, all while using small businesses as straw men.

It's uh they're smacking an unfortunate person up is what this uh song is titled And you know, it made me think of I thought of this video and I thought of this song when I was thinking of this Doug M. Hoff story.

Of course, you know I was gonna go there. Welcome back to the show. It's Dana Lash. What'd you think it was? Big Bird?

Kamala Harris's husband, Doug Amhoff, forcefully slapped ex-girlfriend for flirting with another man in a booze-fueled assault after a date to a star-studded gala. There's a headline.

So, Doug Amhoff, who's 59, Slapped the woman in her face so hard she spun around while wait-this is the widest thing I've ever heard. While waiting in the valet line late at night after a May 2012 Cannes Film Festival event in France. Democrat white, by the way. One of her friends told the Daily Mail that the woman and there's photos of them, but they've they've blurred out her face. The woman called him immediately after the incident, stopping in her cab, described the assault.

They're not naming her. She's a successful New York attorney. They're calling her by a pseudonym Jane. A second friend said that Jane, who had been dating Em Hoff for three months, also told her about the alleged violence at the time. Uh I mean Who wouldn't think that a guy who got his nanny pregnant with his first wife?

Uh, would slap up a chick that he's dating, you know, three minutes into the relationship in can. I'm just wondering. I mean, it's believe all women, right? Are we still on that line or are we not doing that anymore? Is it still me too?

What's a woman? Yeah, I mean they can't conveniently after that whole thing fell apart they suddenly couldn't figure out how to define women but okay So, I mean, is it believe all women or not? Because Kamala Harris is grilling Brett Kavanaugh, being a rapist, and here you got Doug Amhoff impregnating nannies and slapping bitches up. I'm just wondering, like, what's, you know, is it believe all women or not? I'm just curious.

I got questions for a few millions of my friends. We're all wondering here.

So I do think, I mean, I just feel like we got to bring that back, right? We gotta bring that back because I you know, remember Kamala Harris grilled the Everloving Tar out of uh Kavanaugh. She didn't basically she accused him of being a rapist and all this other stuff.

So I feel like this is fair game, Kane. Yeah. Fair Z's, game Z's. It's second to gentlemen. He's redefining masculinity, don't you know?

Doug Am Hoff. He's redefining masculinity. You know, toxic masculinity to the left is when a man behaves chivalrously. You know, if you have chivalrous behavior, you behave in a chivalrous fashion. you know save the world from Nazis, that's apparently considered toxic.

But if you impregnate your kid's nanny while you're married to your first wife and then you slap up your girlfriend at Cannes Film Festival Valet Line, that's apparently redefining masculinity. Who knew? I know, it's and maybe we're in a backwards world. I don't know, but that's what that's the these them's the rules, right? Is it just me or they just keep moving the goalposts like that all the time?

Yeah, I mean you can drive a woman into a pond to die and that's not toxic. You know, but you go liberate France from the Nazis, and there you go. Toxic masculinity. You know what I'm saying? Good night.

I just, you know, point that out there. Just throw it out there. Redefining it.

So I can't wait until she's asked about that one in the press conference that she definitely will never have, or the next sit-down that she totally won't have. All right, so a couple of things. I know we're going to follow the latest with the strike as well. There's lots of stuff we're following. This debate last night, good and bad.

The worst moment was Gotta give that uh gotta give that ribbon to Tim Walls, who Just started falling all over himself when he was asked, Well, why did you lie about China? I've never heard anyone take so long to say that they didn't lie. Listen to this. Governor, just to follow up on that, the question was: can you explain the discrepancy? All I said on this was: I got there that summer and misspoke on this.

So I will just. That's what I've said.

So I was in. Hong Kong and China during the democracy protests went in. And from that, I learned a lot of. what needed to be in governance. Yeah.

I mean you could have just said that you lied. I mean, they asked him, and he's like, well, it was the best of times. It was the worst. Just dude, just say that you lied.

Well, I misspoke. You lied. And then, you know, he told on himself because he was like, you know, and I, how did he put it? I quoted it at the time. He had said at one point, he was like, Yeah, I too sometimes get into it, I slip into the rhetoric.

Well, you just admitted that you lied then at that point. I mean, that's what in the world is your damage, dude? You just admitted that you lied. That's all I gotta do, all you gotta say. But that was a really that was awkward.

That was a very awkward moment for him. And there were a lot of very awkward moments. Yeah, he's he didn't he doesn't he didn't have a lot of room last night except to play that yoke yoke yoke I'm a knucklehead stick. But then he was like well I get caught up in the rhetoric Okay, you just li just you lied, you lied. And then he tried to cite scripture.

Which, as you know, if you're familiar with the Merchant of Venice, even the devil can quote Scripture. But there you go. He's um I don't think that he didn't get angry. And I was actually kind of anticipating for, I was waiting for him to do so. Because from what I know, he's got a short temper and he just seems like a jackwagon.

He's one of those dudes, right? He just seems like that. But he didn't take the bait. And he was very disciplined in that regard.

So was J.D. Vance. And J.D. Vance, you know, stayed on point.

Now, I'm going to say something that's unpopular: his answer on guns was horrible. Yes, Waltz was. Waltz's answer on guns was bad. But I wasn't impressed with J.D. Vance's either.

I don't think he's a gun control guy. He's not a gun guy, though. That's evident. And when I say that he's not a gun guy, I mean he's not a hunter. He probably doesn't shoot regularly.

I don't demand that you be a hunter or that you go out and shoot regularly in order for me to like you as a candidate, but I do. demand that you agree with me on these Issues relating to our enumerated rights. And I do agree, I do demand that you don't use the language of the left.

So here was the question that was asked. And we'll get into all the other stuff. But this is where I'm going to be, I'm going to call balls and strikes on this stuff. Um I have And this was the first time Vance was really tested like this, I think, on this issue.

So this was what was the w it was like eleventy thousand four hundred million eighty three. Audio sound bite, the one where Nor where is it Nora is asking the question. Nora O'Donnell. And First off, the question's wrong. Audio soundbite 19.

Go ahead and kick this one. 19,000 million eleven forty thousand. That one. Yeah. Turn now to America's gun violence epidemic.

The leading cause of death for children and teens in America is by firearms.

Okay, that's wrong. And right out of the gate, when that question came in, that should have immediately been established, and it wasn't. Why is that wrong? Here's why that here's why that question is a presupposition based on fraudulent. Not even evidence, just based on lies.

First off, it is not the leading cause of death. The only reason, the only way that they can make it the leading cause of death is, and this is what the CDC did, they redefined the age of a quote unquote child to go all the way up till 20.

So 18 to 20 year olds are now factored into that average. When you remove that age demographic, the 18 to 20 year olds, guess what? That falls down behind car accidents and drownings.

Now, let's go back to that subset. I've written about this. It's in one of my books. There's a lot of evidence on this.

So I'm not making anything up that's not publicly available on the internet according to the CDC and the DOJ and the FBI's own criminal statistics. This subset, this age subset, the 18 to 20 year olds, Why does it inflate that number so much? Because it's gang and drug violence. And it completely correlates. When you look at the numbers given by the CDC for 18 and younger, and then you add in the FBI criminal statistics, FBI the uniformed crime reports, when you add in the publicly available crime data it tracks.

The CDC inflates that number by including 18 to 20 year olds and defining them as children. That is why they then can say, oh, well, look, it's the leading cause of death for children. Because they redefined it. Again, when you remove that subset. Then eighteen and under It falls behind the child, the leading cause of death, falls behind automobiles and drownings.

Now, suicides are also factored in there. That is a mental health issue. In fact, suicides comprise one-third of that statistic for that subset.

Now that's a whole other conversation, but the reason it is inflated is to fearmonger and scare people into thinking that their children could be statistics. when these incidents, although one is too many, are incredibly rare and they are always preventable. But we don't talk about the preventable aspects of it, which is one of the things that Vance did touch on. What I didn't like that Vance did And I was not a fan of his language on this, is he borrowed the language of the left. He used the language of the left in his response on firearms.

He said the phrase, gun violence epidemic. And he and Waltz were very nice to each other on this. And he also used the phrase illegal guns. Here's why I have a major problem with this. Again, I don't demand that you be as hardcore about 2A as I am for my support, but you do need to believe that my right, my enumerated rights, should not be infringed upon.

Language like gun violence epidemic. Language like illegal guns, those are words of the left. You cannot win a debate on this issue. when you are already validating your opponent's points because you're incorporating their rhetoric into your argument. This is Rhetoric 101.

For instance, there's no such thing as quote-unquote illegal guns. A gun isn't an animate object. There is criminal possession, but there isn't an illegal gun. By saying the phrase Uh Illegal gun instead of criminal possession, you are ascribing a moral aesthetic to an inanimate object, which is exactly what gun controllers want to do. Because that continues to validate the anti-gun language, which dictates that inanimate objects.

somehow possess the ability to influence the carrier of said object towards criminal behavior. A gun itself is not illegal. It cannot be so. The legality or illegality is determined by the willful way. in which a person chooses to use or acquire it.

per law. And there's no gun violence epidemic. There is, and this is where Vance left a ton of meat on the bone. I don't know how you don't get into Tim Waltz's. behavior during Minnesota the riots.

Vance left that meat on the bone. There is, and this is where he could have done it. There isn't a gun violence epidemic. There is. an epidemic of lawlessness.

that has brought on by the sort of restorative justice that's supported by Tim Walls and Kamala Harris. Look at the riots in Minnesota. How many of those people were not even arrested? Not even detained. Kamala Harris was promoting their bail fund, the bail fund of people who burned down entire communities, historically black communities, I might add.

You know, the communities that Gwen Wall says she enjoyed smelling burning, and that's why she left her windows open. He left a lot of meat on the bone there. And that was very disappointing. I expect Walls to be anti-gun, but I don't expect my Republican candidate to validate their language. by speaking recklessly on it.

Because we are in, we're, I mean, it's a match where you cannot give any kind of ground. And words do matter, folks. Because when it comes to this sort of thing, when it comes to gun law, The words you use invoke different aspects of the law. and with it different penalties and consequences. And with that, different abridgments of your rights.

So you're damn right language is important. In some instances, it's everything.

Now With this. We've got I mean, I've got so much more, and we're, gosh, we're already not even near anywhere where we need to be. Oh, we got so much. Because I wanted to touch on this real quick. Play 18 for me.

It's real quick. This is 18. I'm going to play two cuts before we go to break. First is 18. This is what I'm talking about: ascribing a moral aesthetic to an inanimate object.

Listen.

And I think what we end up doing is we start looking for a scapegoat.

Sometimes it just is the guns. It's just the guns. And there are things that you can do about it.

Okay, what does that mean?

Sometimes it's just the guns.

So you're telling me that when a person is fine and on the track of good behavior until Somehow they acquire a firearm and then they immediately turn bad? Because that's what he's suggesting here, which gets into my whole argument that you do not ascribe. Human characteristics on inanimate objects. Because you're validating what they're saying there. There was no follow-up to that.

I thought Vance could have done that. And what do you mean? It's not the guns. It's not the gun. What?

Sometimes it's just the guns, not the guns.

Sometimes it's just recidivism.

Sometimes it's the breakdown of law and order.

Sometimes it's the breakdown of the American family.

Sometimes it's the breakdown of good parenting. But that was meat left on the bump. I got a lot more to hit. We got abortion coming up. We got the economy.

We got the latest with the strike. Iran versus Israel, all sorts of things to touch on. Education is so unbelievably important. To preserving liberty. You cannot preserve liberty if you don't know what you need to know.

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. Like muting power. A woman, that might be the worst moment JD Vance had because he was going to mansplain right over that mute button. He was, and again, I don't pretend to know how everyone will react to this. I think that a lot of women in positions of authority that should command respect just by virtue of that dynamic will see themselves as some dude that disrespected them and talked over.

You know, I mean, there was a moment like that with Ben Beiser. There were two dudes on stage. Where was the sexism? Golly, does everything have vagina, vagina, vagina? Just shut up already.

I'm so tired. If there ain't a woman on stage as a candidate, then they'll try to fabricate it and appropriate it and project it onto the moderators. They're big girls. And if there's a woman who can't stand being talked over on a debate stage, if that offends her, then get your ass off the stage. You're not grown up enough to be on it.

This is a grown folks event, okay? Grown folks event. We don't have time for any of this stuff. Jimmy Christmas I I mean Yeah. I I can't, man.

I just can't even. It's just so annoying. Can just people, can we just not have that for one time? Even when you got two dudes out there, somebody's got to inject sexism.

Well, I mean Whilst did kind of act like a bit of a bee at some. There was one point where his mask slipped. Did you see it? He got, you could tell he's starting to get mad. It's like someone nudge him and tell him, dude, the camera is on your face.

It's on your face. Stop it. I saw a little bit ago the Babylon Bee had put out that D. O. J.

was going after J. D. Vance for beating up three women last night. And I couldn't have laughed out loud. It just hit me.

Yeah, that's true. But internally, I did. Golly.

Well, we got a lot more on the way. But we're also going to talk about something else too that we're going to have to have a conversation about at some point in the next year. And it's how the George W. Bush 2.0, quote-unquote, compassionate conservatism, is making a comeback within the GOP. You know the ideology that spawned the Tea Party movement?

I'm going to explain how. Because I've been seeing it and hearing it a lot lately. And it's from people who I guess didn't experience it the first time around, so they think it's new.

So, we're going to touch on all of that and a lot more. We got the strike, we got Iran, we've got the debate still, we got a lot of stuff. Stick with us. Tax Network USA wants to help you if you're being harassed by the IRS. Maybe you have back taxes, maybe you owe some money to the government.

We watch that. We watched that debate last night. We're also following the latest with the strike, the longshoreman strike, Iran versus Israel. We've also got the disaster ongoing recovery from Hurricane Helene. We're going to get into all of that.

But first up, Recapping some of this debate, going over the worst and best moments. And I said before. I think it's easy to go up against somebody like Walls. He played it safe, and the big, biggest hits. that uh he took last night.

are when he messed up about China and wouldn't admit that he lied, and we played that. And then there was this really wild gaffe. when they were talking about I This was uh mass casualty incidents. And this is Audio Soundbite 17. I actually, when I first heard this, I couldn't believe that I had heard it.

And I sort of asked X about it because I could not believe that I heard this, but it was, that's what he said. Listen.

So I've become friends with school shooters. I've seen it. Look, the NRA, I was interviewing. He's become friends with school shooters. I thought, what?

What?

I don't even and he never actually walked back to clean that up. That's just just hung out there. That That was a very wild gaffe. And of course, it's now making the headlines.

So there were some I I thought je I thought that Vance Like I said If I had to pick A Victor, I would give it to Vance for having more coherent answers, and he didn't make the big gaffes. He didn't make two major gaps, the trying to screw up and the French school shooters thing that Waltz did. But I absolutely think that Vance missed some opportunities to verbally beat this knot out of Waltz. I absolutely do. I also, and I'm going to say this, and this is not going to be popular, but I'm warning you.

Because we did all back this. Why are you doing that? We did all this back in 09. Actually, it started before 09. Do you remember when the tea party first kicked off?

And I was one of the original people that was on that phone call that Sunday. We were arranging stuff for that very next day. And It actually was in response to And I hate this phrase, compassionate conservatism, because that is a phrase that George W. Bush came up with. And I'm not.

I mean, he seems like a very nice person. I disagree with some of his some of his policies clearly. Including this whole compassionate conservatism thing, because it's neither compassionate nor conservatism. It's a fun name for big government. That's what it is.

It's the compassionate conservatism of making the government pay for family leave and basically glorified corporate welfare. It's welfare, but just you're pushing it through the corporate veins, so it counts less as than less as welfare. It's the too big to fail. It's all of that stuff, right? It's the kind of Thinking that was dominant within the Republican Party for a long time that made a lot of us dissatisfied with it.

That's the reason the Tea Party started. Democrats tried to co-opt it. And say that the Tea Party began because of Barack Obama. The Tea Party began as a rebellion against big government republicanism. And After Barack Obama.

Was into office when he continued those policies because big government republicanism, there's another name for it. Do you want to know what it's called? Democrat. And when he continued, some of those policies were like, see? We told you.

And we kept Protesting them. And then it was like, oh, they're just protesting him because he's a black president. No, we actually started before he was running. Thanks.

So I say this now because I feel like a lot of people, or some people on the right, not all, but some people who weren't there back then. who think this is well who believe this is all new to them. They are unfamiliar with the history of quote-unquote compassionate conservatism. being code for big government, which is code for Democrat. They're unfamiliar with us.

They are unfamiliar with how. back in de day, Many Republicans were arguing that, well, sometimes the government has to intervene, or how they were arguing on behalf of government intervention. If it Was advantageous to a Republican policy without realizing that you're opening the door for Democrats to exploit it the exact same way, which they did. A lot of these people who are here now We weren't in this fight then, and they think this is all brand new. And because they have not seen the logical conclusion of it, they don't find anything wrong with it.

Now the reason I bring this up is because one of the issues that this Ideology plagues the most is the idea of family leave, which I don't even know why it's an issue. We don't like government involved in business, correct? Except what with this? Apparently so. There was a question that was asked about paid family leave.

And this is there are two instances.

Now I've I've said I don't need to keep Pat and Vance on the back. I think he took the debate, like I said, coherent answer. I need to make gavs. But there were three issues that he wasn't great on. Abortion.

the guns issue, he could have been stronger. And he could not have used the language of the left. This issue, I was very disappointed on, and it's the family leave one. Here is part of his answer because he was asked about that. Juan's got some of it.

Check this out. Do you support a national paid leave program? And if so, for how long should employers be mandated to pay their employees while they are home taking care of their newborn? You have two minutes. Yeah, well, first of all, Margaret, a number of my Republican colleagues and some Democrats too have worked on this issue.

And I think there is a bipartisan solution here because a lot of us care about this issue. I mean, look, I speak from this very personally because I'm married to a beautiful woman who is an incredible mother to our three beautiful kids, but is also a very good thing. I think immediately was wrong. Bipartisan answer. I know this personally too, because I've given birth twice and I've worked.

Now He also said the quote. And this is one of the things that he said last night, and I have it isolated here. He said the quote, Uh We're going to have to spend more money. We're going to have to induce more people to provide child care services. I don't know what the we're is in this, and I don't know what the how means.

That was never clarified. Here's my point on all this. If companies want to offer childcare, Etc. voluntarily to be competitive. Great, more power to them.

That is well within their right to do so. The government should not mandate that businesses do this. This is nothing more than big government nonsense, and it's defended by some on the right as quote-unquote compassionate, just like Bush 2.0. Welfare is welfare. Regardless.

If it is forced through corporate, or offered as an entitlement. It is not a small government position to demand that government mandate businesses. to help people and accommodate family planning. It is weird to complain about big government. while begging the government to get bigger.

by mandating that businesses accommodate family planning. That doesn't make any sense.

Now, I know that mine is not a very particularly popular. take on this right now, but I would rather be consistent than be liked. By the way, the only Correct, the correct and only answer on this is this: if businesses want to offer this voluntarily, so be it. But in the meantime, stop taking in so much of our taxes. Stop taking our money in tax.

So families can either afford child care or afford to have a two parent, one income household. If they so choose, should they want to be able to have a parent at home with their children? And I'm going to tell you what, these businesses, I don't know what some of these people think businesses get started for. The people on the left think that businesses are created and should be created only to be charitable. You don't need to pay for this stuff.

Just give everybody a million dollars an hour, whatever.

Some on the right think that Well then if the government doesn't force them to do it, are they still wa then how is it going to work? Look. If a CEO If I was a CEO and I wanted an employee that had a particular talent. And I knew that in order to get that talent. I would have to offer certain perks.

Like, if that talent wanted to have a family, if that, then I would absolutely do it because my business would benefit. Businesses are going to make decisions that grow businesses because it's fiscally responsible, which is a conservative trade. And if they voluntarily want to offer that, if they want to go after people that have proven skills and that are worth it, businesses are going to do that. They're already doing it now without government having to mandate it. And a lot of these people don't realize some of these small businesses cannot afford.

to pay long-term leave for people who are not generating income. They don't understand what it's like to make payroll. They don't understand the What this what a small business owner pays to replace that employee, you're paying two salaries for one job. That is not a small government constitutional conservative position. It is a Democrat position that is wrapped up in the veneer.

Of quote unquote compassionate conservatism in order to render it more palatable to Republican voters. But it's a Democrat policy. And so That is why I think And there were he had long answers on this. I thought his answer was wrong. He defaulted to government on his answer.

That bothered me. Because we went through this once already and it's why Republicans got beaten. And the odds. There's no point in securing a legacy if you're going back to Bush 2.0. Because that was defeated once.

We saw how that plays out. And that stuff makes me nervous because I don't want to be in a position with all this stuff where. You defeat yourself again because you're promoting policies that failed back in the odds.

So, like I said, I don't know what the, there's only one good answer to that. And there wasn't a lot of daytime between him and Wals on that. A couple of other things here. Walls particular we know walls is gonna be bad. Because he's I mean, he just was horrible with a lot of things.

Audio Soundbite 16, when he was asked about firearms, this made me angry. Listen to this. I got a 17-year-old and uh And he witnessed a shooting at a community center playing volleyball. Those things don't leave you. As a member of Congress, I sat.

In my office, Surrounded by dozens of the Sandy Oak parents, and they were looking at my seven-year-old picture on the wall. There's a lot of people who are into if we can get paid. And they were asking that something. I own firearms, and the Second Amendment is there, but our first responsibility is to our kids, is what he had said. And the way that he positioned it.

Seemed as though He was suggesting that being a parent and owning a firearm. are two incompatible things. I don't think you have to be through a mass casualty incident to understand the importance of your children. or to understand the importance of defense. And I mentioned this online as well.

I am very grateful for my Second Amendment right of self-defense as a mother. You know, I've had someone try to break into my home because they wanted to harm me because of my ideas. And I'm grateful that I had a rifle. That person was there for almost twelve minutes before the cops were. Love my police.

A lot can happen in twelve minutes. And I'm glad, what if I had no means of protecting myself? Because I believed, as Tim Waltz did, that somehow parenthood was incompatible. With defense. You know a lot of reasons why parents, particularly mothers, have firearms is so they can defend themselves and their children.

I thought that that was An ignorant take that he had. I mean, I'm not surprised it's Waltz, he's a fud. But I was I was just I was just abhorrent that was an abhorrent take. We have more to come. The latest on the strike, we're going to touch on the strike, and we got more on the hurricane relief.

What is up with the helicopters? Apparently, a lot of privately owned choppers are helping out with assistance. But why is there not more happening? We're going to get into all of that and more. As we roll into the people who help bring you free radio, it's our partners over at Caltech.

It's the P15. It's the lightest, thinnest, double-stack 9mm on the market. You've got two versions: you have the polymer version and you have the metal version. The metal version has the wood grip panels on a polymer version. Look, just get the damn gun.

You know why? Because it's a nice, concealable gun. It's nice, it's lightweight. It sends with two magazines. One's a 15-round magazine.

Standard capacity for the wimps out there. Standard capacity. Minimal pinky extension. The other one's the 12-round. That's flush-fit double-stack mag that holds 12 rounds.

If you want like the ultra-concealability, tritium fiber optic front sight, sweet trigger. I mean, it's a striker-fire pistol from the people who literally invented the micro-compact pistol category. For the everyman, that's the tiny, little, teeny, witty-bitty gun.

Okay, you don't lose stopping power. It's a great gun. Get it because you're probably going to need it if things keep going down this route. You can find it at Keltech, Innovation Performance Keltech, great Florida-based company. America needs more companies like them.

Find it at Keltechweapons.com. It's called the P15. That stands for 15 pews, right? Standard capacity pews. K-E-L-T-E-C weapons.com.

Tell them that Dana sent you for the love of all things holy. And now, all of the news you would probably miss, it's time for Dana's Quick Five.

Someone called Sam Jackson. A passenger thought it was okay. to take a 10-foot Burmese python in his carry-on luggage. Yeah, it's uh a guy at Tashkent Airport in Uzbekistan. The guy was instructed to open his carry-on luggage.

This was just two days ago. Or sorry, last week. A little bit more than two days ago. He unzipped his bag and revealed a 10-foot-long little blonde, little blonde python curled up asleep inside it. Sleeping is having a little nap.

Snake was having a nap. It was a three-meter snake, and it was uncovered. And he was not allowed to take it as a carry-on. They said it was not declared. It was discovered.

It was a tiger albino python. It's native to South and Southeast Asia. Because it was listed in the International Red Book, they have to import it. and they can't, you know, you just can't take it in. Is that like, do you think somebody's actually smuggling it?

Or were they like dumb enough to think, this is my pet? Because that's not like what I think of when you're trying to smuggle something. It means you're trying to evade security, right? You can't just put it in a duffel bag with a little bed and like walk. It just doesn't make sense.

Sounds like it's a pet. A hyper-realistic inflatable alligator was rescued from a creek in Lebanon County. Oh, that's good. They saved that inflatable alligator. This is in Pennsylvania.

A resident said that there was a gator in a North Cornwall Creek in I can't. Why are there so many? What?

Quite a falafel in the creek. Yeah, that's right. And they immediately had to get law enforcement out there to get this gator out. And what they discovered, they said it was very realistic. I gotta be honest with you, it's not.

It's not a very realistic. You know, those like gator floats that you get for your pool and they have handles on them? It was that. That's not realistic, Gator. It's not hyper, yeah, it's not hyper-realistic.

Good night. So Musk knew that X was overpriced when he got it.

Now it's worth $25. percent less than what he he paid for it. And that's because they're trying to kill it, the government, because they want to control it. We got a lot more on the way. The latest with the strikes.

We're here at the bottom of this second hour, and we're going to get into the latest with Iran and Israel, as well as Hurricane Helene recovery. And then we're going to touch on the strike real quick. I want to play this isolated audio because I was talking about beware of slipping back to Bush 2.0, quote-unquote, compassionate conservatism, which is a code word for big government, which is a code word for Democrat. Because you can't have the government involved in everything. And we were talking about family leave.

And how Businesses should not be involved in doing this. Unless they voluntarily choose to do so. We can't very well go and complain about government involvement and stuff and then beg the government to get involved in mandating business to provide accommodation for family planning. That's that's neither a conservative nor a const con constitutionalist perspective on that. And the reason I brought it up is because I actually thought I thought Vance won the debate, but I did not think that this was his brightest moment.

And I just wanted to play this really quickly so you have perspective on what I was talking about fully. Listen.

It's the heart of the Donald Trump economic plan. Cut taxes for American workers and American families. Cut taxes for businesses that are hiring and building companies in the United States of America, but penalize companies and countries that are shipping jobs overseas. That's the heart of the economic proposal. And I think what President Trump is saying is that when we bring in this additional revenue with higher economic growth, we're going to be able to provide paid family leave, child care options that are viable and workable for a lot of American families.

What?

Can you clarify how that will solve the child care shortage?

Well, because as Tim said, a lot of the child care shortages, we just don't have enough resources going into the multiple people who could be providing family care options. And we're going to have to, unfortunately, look, we're going to have to spend more money. We're going to have to induce more people to want to provide child care options for American families because the reason it's so expensive right now is because you've got way too few people providing this very essential service.

Okay, so that's exactly what I was talking about. That is exactly it. Wa wha what do you mean? Who is the we? And how and what is the how?

You're going to have to spend more money and induce more people, like I said, real quickly, and then I'm going to move on. companies that want to offer child care. voluntarily to be competitive, that's their right. The government should not mandate that businesses do this. Again, it's the same big government stuff that was marketed under Bush 2.0 as quote-unquote compassionate conservatism.

And the only answer to this is number one. Businesses can voluntarily do it if they so choose. Government shouldn't mandate this because, look, welfare is welfare, regardless of whether it's forced through corporate or if it's offered by the government as an entitlement.

So the only correct answer is only businesses should determine voluntarily if they want to do this. And really, we have to stop taking in so much tax so that families can afford. Yeah. Get childcare, or they can afford to have a two-parent, one-income home, should they so choose if they want to be able to have a parent at home with their children. That is the only correct and acceptable answer on that.

So that's what I was talking about. Everything that Wal said, I disagreed with. I just kind of put that hat there for clarity. All right, so. I want to switch gears here.

And I want to touch on This very interesting thing that I've been seeing. With regard to The I heard the helicopters And the way that they have been, like the privately owned choppers. And how they've been responding to a lot of this. There was a very interesting piece that I was reading about The US helicopter community. I'd love that we have a helicopter community.

God bless America. I've never, I've flown in a chopper. I've never flown a chopper per se, kind of now. I'm interested in it. But it talks about, like, for instance, in North Carolina, they have all of these privately owned.

choppers that are out there doing these rescue efforts. And it's amazing to see some of this stuff. And they've I mean, the photos and the video, they're airlifting supplies, it's like the Cajun Navy, but like in the air. Cajun air, right? Cajun air.

That's an airline. Wouldn't you fly that airline? I would totally fly that airline. Instead of peanuts, they give out gumbo or something. Dude, here's your cup of gumbo.

Now, we ain't giving you no peanuts up in here. You get a cup of gumbo. Oh my gosh. Cajun Navy, come on. Y'all gotta make that happen.

Cajun Air. I would demand to fly Cajun Air everywhere. Huh? There's your slogan: Cajun Air Airware. There it is, right there.

So, they have been going in and around trying to help all these people. And I know that there's also. There's People were asking about Fort Brat because there's a lot of helicopters. at Fort Bragg and This people were asking, well, why are they not getting Uh Why are they not getting involved? Why are they not getting power and get out there, get supplies in?

Because a lot of the people have been saying, well, the government aid is nowhere to be found. And they've got video of all of these helicopters that are privately owned Volunteering their time and their fuel, and they're running supplies because the roads are impassable. They're running supplies, they're rescuing people, they're dropping stuff up in the hills. I mean, it is it's just wild. And There was one guy who told Who was told by the fire chief That If he went back and he's a guy who owns a chopper, if he went back, they would arrest him.

He had to leave this dude on the mountain. Why?

Okay, I'm real confused about this. Why are people Why are some of these, it seems like some of these private choppers, why are some of them being deterred from doing this? Is there I mean, you're in a It's a natural disaster. It's an emergency. Zone.

And people have been, you can see how people have been following like Flight Tracker and all this other stuff, and they can see how many government assets. Like helicopters, government helicopters are operating with rescues and they're able to filter out civilian and passenger aircraft. And people are wondering, it seems like there's more privately owned than there is. Government-owned. Here's an interview with this guy.

Who Was saying that he was told he basically had to stop making these rescue efforts and dropping supplies. Listen to this, this is wild. Why?

Started helping with coordination. He gave me radio frequencies to coordinate with them on, set up a landing area for me to come back with the other victim. And in the middle of the whole conversation and then blocking the road off, I was greeted by the, at that time I didn't know, but Lake Lure fire chief or assistant chief maybe, and he shut down the whole operation.

So at that point, there was, I felt like the conversation wasn't going any further. And again, he asked me to leave, and I said, hey, I have no problem getting out of your area. If that's what you want us to do, we'll leave no issue. At that point, I asked him, you know, What was the reason I had to leave them there? And he said, Again, you're interfering with my operation.

I just need you to get out of the area. I said, Sir, I don't know where you were trained at, but I know how my training is, and I'm not going to leave personnel behind. I'm going back to get my co-pilot. He said, if you turn around and go back up the mountain, you're going to be arrested.

So I'll say this. I get it if you are the firefighter EMT and you've got a rescue plan and resources in place and you don't want anyone interfering with that, but that's the question, isn't it? Because Assertion is that there wasn't a plan, nor were there resources in place, right? That's the whole thing, right?

So And this is just one apparently one example because. Emergency responders are so overstretched in these areas, it's insane. And I take that into account and would welcome or try to incorporate as a part of your plan people who are able to help out, who have the ability to get to these areas that are impassable. due to landslides and busted up roads and all this stuff. And I get that.

You know, You you want to secure an area and you're trying to do everything but again A lot of these people are, a lot of these first responders are totally overstretched. I understand you don't want every Tom Dick and Harry coming up and getting involved and all that, but you need people with choppers. because apparently there are not enough. And I think it's important, especially if Part of your plan is making sure that you're rescuing people off the mountain and you don't have the fully available resources to do so. Why would you have people wait up on the mountains being stranded for days when you could have like privately owned choppers and assist those people and organize them and Use their resources, use them as assets, and have them rescue people so that you're not stretched so thin.

I feel like there's a better way to do this. And the crazy thing is, is that if we had a better I think I think some of these, if we had a better response in some of these areas, I think that this conversation would be, it would be unnecessary. But that's I mean the devastation I mean, I oh my gosh. They they still don't even really have estimates as to how much And what all is going to be required. I mean, it's just so, they're still just trying to ascertain the level of damage.

And, and, uh, save people. And I also think that The other issue with this is There's not do you feel like there's not enough attention on this from National Press. Like they talked about it, and now I just feel like it's sort of. Fallen by the wayside. Am I being too sensitive about that?

No, you're not. I believe that this media has been consistently running cover for the left, and I think this is another example. But do you think that they're not reporting on this as much because it's southeastern states? that are mostly affected. Again, I don't want to sound like I'm trying to cause a problem unnecessarily.

But I do have to wonder why the coverage is so completely lopsided.

Well, I remember, and I put this story in your prep last night, that back in Hurricane Katrina. they couldn't immediately get To the area, right? And so when there was a lag in FEMA help and all of that, people were going all over the media and saying how George Bush hated black people and all of this stuff and made it a race issue and the whole nine.

So if those rules apply to what we do today in how we respond in the media on this, then yes, it would look like based on the lack of FEMA and obviously the lack of interest that both Kamala and Joe Biden had in this whole tragedy. Apparently they hate. white people and they hate people that vote mostly for Trump. I mean, apparently Helene is already one of the deadliest, costliest storms. to hit the United States.

It dumped 40 trillion gallons of rain on the south these southeastern states. Trillions. 40 trillion gallons. That's enough to fill Dallas Cowboys Stadium 51,000 times, or Lake Tahoe just once. That's how much?

Wow. The reason I bring this up is because, and Steve made a good point, Hurricane Seemi got so much coverage. Not that it didn't deserve to get a lot of coverage. But You have Katrina Harvey Ian Andrew. And Sandy was listed at number four.

But Helene is right now in the top ten. It is a it's a it's a bad hurricane. But And the devastation seems like it's in multiple states and not just really concentrated on a couple. But there does seem to be like there's lopsided coverage because The media is m mostly centralized in the Northeast. And anything that happens to the media just takes over, you know, the whole day.

My gosh, you get a snowstorm and it's just, you know, wall-to-wall coverage. And you get major flooding like in Tennessee and there's like barely a blip. And now the recovery efforts for Hurricane Helene are just starting to slip past and they're rolling off their what they call above the fold.

So when you get your newspaper and it's folded in half, all the most important stuff is above the fold so that you before you even fold it. Unfold it. to be the full broadsheet. Half broadsheet. Then All the most important stuff was there.

So, above the fold is what they refer to. That's like the order of importance. It's already fallen below the fold, now it's going on page 1A2A.

So. This is it's I I don't know. I feel I I d I'm not trying to be overly sensitive, but it feels like, you know. Considering some of the devastation, like in North Carolina, they got hit so bad and the landslides are horrific. Uh I'm I'm One and they're still trying to find people.

There's still tons of people unaccounted. A hundred and fifty nine fatalities so far. Uh with AB ABC had that 20 hours ago. It's probably more now. Florida peanut farmers say this is worse than a dahlia.

They say that they're dealing with devastating losses with the peanut crop.

So it's and they think that the that Helene is going to join the five most damaging. It's technically in the top ten, but it's being estimated that it's going to join the five most damaging. hurricanes of all time. We got a lot more to touch on, including the latest with Iraq and Israel and that strike. As we've been recapping the debate for you, Black Rifle Coffee.

It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man. Yeah, so um um got a couple things here. This I I've I I This is an older story. Hold up, I'll do this one.

So a guy's son was gets caught trespassing, right? Why is it always at a Walmart? I'm not kidding you. Like every time I've got a trespass story, it's always at Walmart.

So a Florida man gets arrested. Because his son was trespassing at a Walmart, and when the dad showed up, Flager County, he attacked the deputies who contacted him to get his kid. No.

So, Flager County Sheriff's Office responded to multiple reports of juveniles causing disturbances in a Walmart. They were all under 16, they were riding bikes at the store, yelling, cursing, setting off car alarms. And deputies found the group. Recognize the teens contact with their parents. And one of the parents, this explains why the kid was doing what he was doing.

34-year-old Jonah Harrington from Palm Coast arrived and immediately confronted law enforcement. He gets out, runs up to the deputy, and just shoves him. It's all on body cam footage. And, dude, don't you know that he's, if you had to guess, like, was he wearing his hat with a straight bill? And did he have like a goofy shirt on and you know, look like he got a D-bag starter kit?

The answer is yes. Yes, he did. Two other deputies tried to re detain him and Harrington punched one officer, resisted the efforts of another deputy to secure him in handcuffs.

So he then he tried to flee. He was apprehended after a struggle. And the sheriff said, the apple doesn't fall from the tree. You know, we asked these parents to come pick up their kids because they were causing trouble, but this parent chose to attack our deputies instead.

So now you see Right? Doesn't it? He's right. It does not fall far from the tree. Can you imagine?

God help my child if the police called me and they were like, Ma'am, you have to come get your child. I would turn into Granny Boots. Granny Boots would get real quiet. And she'd point to a willow tree that she had in her front yard. You know, we killed this tree.

She had 23 grandkids. We killed this damn tree. We had to go cut a branch off it. with a pair of utility scissors. She would strip the leaves off with her hand and fold it and whoop us with it.

I never got a whooping because I was an angel. And I was yep, and I was Granny Boots's favorite.

So, but all my other cousins got beat. But that's like the scariest thing ever. I would show up with like a whole thatch of them things. Be like, you tell me where my kid is, officer. I will handle this situation.

I'm just saying, golly, runs up and he's on. And you know, these police that's like, you can see their body cam, their body cameras. Why would you do that? Third hour on the way. Stick with us.

Welcome back to the program. Your lovable curmudgeon here, Daniel Lash. We've been going over a number of things, following the latest with Hurricane Helene recovery efforts. Also, we've got coming up a discussion on Iran and Israel, and then the latest with the longshoreman strike. We've been recapping this debate, gone over some of the best and worst moments.

Now, I talked about one of the worst moments, I thought, for Vance, although I think he won the debate. Because he was most coherent and he didn't talk about being friends with school shooters. This is where Wallace really fell apart here. I don't think Vance's answer on abortion was great either. And I bring that up because that's like a huge issue for the right.

It's like guns, taxes. and babies, guns, taxes, and babies. GTB. Not necessarily in that order for some people, maybe it's BGD, BGT. Or TBG.

But we're just doing guns, babies, and guns, taxes, and babies.

So The Discussion about abortion. He was asked because And again, channel 347 Direct TV. Find us on Rumble where the chat is, also on X. One of the big things that Democrats have had that they've struggled to get around is they try to paint. Republicans as being extremists.

If you look at Uh I think There have been nine. Major polls taken and like the span of what, six years, maybe longer than that? that have dealt with The issue of abortion and how most people, including the majority of Democrats, And really, this is what drives it, independents and democrats. They're like, oh, we'll stop it at 15 weeks. Democrats wanted it to be literally On demand up till the moment of birth, and they also wanted the taxpayer to subsidize it.

Now, I'm not just making that up. That was literally what the quote-unquote Women's Protection Act that they all co-sponsored in the Senate. when Kamala Harris was Also the head of the Senate. Uh the President of the Senate They they all sponsor that. That was a big thing back in 2020 and going up into 2022.

And so Walls now has to answer for his party on that. And the big the reason that this became a big issue is because you had Ralph Abortham oh sorry, Northam. Who was the former governor at the time over in Virginia? And he was on, he did a radio interview where he said that he actually supported it all the way up till the moment of birth. And he included he didn't want to provide care.

And that's another thing that Walls flubbed on.

So. Audio Send by 12, Wallace was asked, okay, well, what about any limitations on abortion as demand used as birth control? Because every state already protects the life of the mother in cases of rape and incest. And Wallace, like, could not give an answer to this. Listen.

Would you like to respond and also answer the question about restrictions? Yeah, well, the question got asked when Donald Trump made the accusation that wasn't true about Minnesota.

Well, let me tell you about this idea that there's diverse states. There's a young woman named Amber Thurman. She happened to be in Georgia, a restrictive state. Because of that, she had to travel a long distance. to North Carolina to try and get her care.

Camber Thurman died.

Okay, can we apply that for real quick? Because that's a lie. I wanna want to point out that This is a, and we'll come back to it. Just so just save that right there because we're going to come back to it.

So he's talking about the case of this woman, and Lorraine wrote about this over at Substack, chapter and verse. She's actually, she's. got all the cases up there. And she talked about the Amber Thurman, that woman who is from Georgia. Amber Thurman was Uh she had gone to get The abortion pill.

And she went to get the abortion pill. She took two of them. And then she ended up going into sepsis and she started bleeding. I don't know why she waited for hours to go to the abortion, to go to the hospital to help with this. Because now it was, I mean, she aborted her baby with this pill.

Uh, I don't No why she waited that long. But she took the abortion bill. She took two of them. And then when she went to the hospital, for whatever reason, they were late in giving her some care. But it was, they blame this, they blame an abortion ban for her death, but it's an irresponsible lie.

Cause she legally acquired abortion pills. Amber Thurmond legally acquired abortion pills. She discovered she was pregnant with twins. She sought an abortion as a form of birth control. And she was over six weeks pregnant.

Georgia has a six-week limitation. She was well, she was over six weeks pregnant. She took one abortion pill in North Carolina, another abortion pill in Georgia. And they literally warn you when you take this pill. And it says it's widely reported.

That you could wind up in the hospital because they caused serious complications. And guess what? She developed serious complications. She was vomiting blood and she developed sepsis, but she literally waited not just hours, she waited for days. before she went to the hospital.

And What Democrats were trying to falsely say is that the hospital waited to perform a DNC. That's actually a lie. And this is in Georgia's law that explicitly allows DNCs as a treatment following a miscarriage. It's the 2023 Code of Georgia, Title 16, Crimes and Offenses, Subsection 1611 and 161710. Gets into Chapter 12, Article 5, Section 1612141, Restrictions on the Performance of Abortions, Availability of Records, Civil Cause of Action, and Affirmative Defenses.

And it literally gets into everything from Ep Talk. Yeah. Topic topic pregnancies, detectable human heartbeats, all of it, medical emergencies, medically futile, spontaneous it gets into literally every aspect of it. They absolutely this law does point out, yes, you do need sees. To as a treatment following a miscarriage.

She was having a miscarriage at that point.

So they were trying to misconstrue the law. And say that she wasn't allowed to get help and that's what killed her. That's not what killed her. Her waiting for days to go to the hospital, getting sepsis and vomiting blood. I don't know.

I just think if you're vomiting blood, you might might want to go to the ER instead of waiting days.

So that was a lie. That was an absolute lie. Uh, he okay, go ahead with the other. I'm sorry, Juan. I didn't mean to interrupt like the video, but I'm like, I had to stop there immediately.

Go ahead. to try and get her care. Amber Thurman died. in that journey back and forth. The fact of the matter is, how can we as a nation say that your life And your rights.

As basic as the right to control your own body is determined on children. Like no one's forcing people to have sex when you're pregnant. No one's doing that.

Some of these other cases, by the way, I wish that Vance would have been familiar with that case so he could have just nipped it right there. I think he should have been prepared a little bit more with that. And he wasn't. And that's where I was a little bit like, oh, come on. They They could have, I think, really really verbally beat the snot out of him with that.

Uh but He also lied, and this is, I'm going to get into 13. If we can speed 13 up a little bit, just we can come in like in the middle of it. Because Waltz was he was being questioned about the bill that he signed that removed a requirement for doctors to preserve the life of an infant. I want to go back to like, I think it was 2006 or 7. In Illinois, they had what they call the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act.

That's when Barack Oba Barack Obama was the state senator in Illinois.

So this is actually 2006, I think. And He voted against it. He was one of the big votes against that bill. What the Born of Life Infer Protection Act was doing was it was one of the first, similarly, one of the first of its kind in the nation that was about codifying. Healthcare for an infant that survived an abortion, and he and so that they wouldn't be denied care, the baby wouldn't be denied care.

What Tim Walt did, he did something very, very similar. He actually removed the requirement. That demanded doctors offer treatment after survived abortions. and that they don't have to report it because there was a reporting requirement to the state. he fought to remove that.

He was questioned about that here. Listen to this. Yes, Governor, please respond. Look, this is one where there's always something there. This is a very simple proposition.

These are women's decisions to make about their health care decisions and the physicians who know best when they need to do this. Trying to distort the way a law is written to try and make a point, that's not it at all. What was I wrong about, Governor? Please tell me. What was that wrong about?

That is not the way the law is written. Look, I've given this advice on a lot of things, that getting involved, getting against that's been misread and it was fact-checked at the last debate. But the point on this is there's a continuation of these guys to try and tell women or to get involved. I use this line on this, just mind your own business on this. Things work best when Roe versus Wade was in place.

When we do a restoration of Roe, that works best. That doesn't preclude us. From incredible Literally, under walls, babies who were born alive in botched abortions. were not were it was all right to deny them any kind of treatment after. And then Waltz not only supported that, Waltz not only pushed for it, but he removed the requirement for doctors to report the babies who survived and then did not make it.

Uh That is a true thing. And the fact that I and I I wish that would have been a little bit more aggressively pursued. There's no way around it. I mean, that's literally what happened. In fact, on his watch, eight infants.

As he's governor, eight infants were born alive. They survived botched abortions. None of them received any care, there was no attempt made to preserve their lives. Uh they didn't even receive basic comfort care. they were just left unattended.

And they also up until twenty twenty three in Minnesota, They did not punish the neglect of infants who were born alive who survived abortions. These babies would have survived with care. And they they changed the recor the reporting requirement.

So Waltz's issue, he didn't care so much about the dead babies. He didn't want that to be reported to the state so that that was on his watch.

So he had the law changed to eliminate the reporting requirement. That is an absolute fact. It doesn't matter if you're for. abortion or against abortion, that's the truth of the matter. Bottom line.

That is the, I mean, the law is up there. Minnesota was the rare law that stated. They Born alive abortions had to be publicly reported. But it was a very uncomfortable statistic. For Democrats.

So he worked with the Democrat legislature in 23, and they eliminated the born reporting requirement, and they also eliminated the state's legal obligation for doctors, for nurses, and for medical professionals to administer life-saving care. It was included in the uh signed bill it was SF 2995.

So That was a lie. It was, he, that's an absolute lie. He also, by the way, another quick thing, I didn't want to go back to the guns thing, but I wanted to point out, he also made the false accusation that the CDC was barred from researching. As a health issue, quote unquote, gun violence. That's a false, that's a lie.

And I've written about that extensively. The CDC is barred. from using taxpayer dollars for political advocacy for or against the Second Amendment, which I think is incredibly reasonable. They are barred from politicizing using your tax dollars, this. But notice that he omitted how, in this, there are receipts of this, and I've written about this, and so have a number of other outlets.

There were emails that were made public showing the gun control lobby, everyone from every town to Bloomberg to the Brady Group, that were pressuring the CDC via email to remove from the CDC's website the defensive gun usage statistics, showing just how many times firearms in the hands of law-abiding people were used in defense of their lives, in protection of themselves or loved ones. And the emails in that explicitly verbatim stated from these gun control advocates that they were upset that the use and presentation of defensive gun usage statistics on the CDC website were a complication to their anti-gun narrative. And so the CDC complied most happily and removed it.

So if we want to have a discussion about politicizing things or being barred from doing something, let's look at how defensive gun usage was removed by repeated harassing requests of the gun control lobby. And now, all of the news you would probably miss, it's time for Dana's Quick Five.

A woman was arrested and accused of a.34 blood alcohol content. While driving on the airport taxiway, no big whoop, in Zentulsa, Oklahoma, she was accused of driving drunk. Just the other day, they got a call on my birthday of a lady who was driving a Silver Nissan on the taxiway. She's blocking all the outbound planes. Police, though, were unable to find her when they arrived.

And then the next day, they got another call. That Literally, two days in a row. First off, how in the world does that happen? First day they get a call, she blocked in several, they couldn't find her when they arrived in. They responded to a similar call the next day after, again, air traffic control said there's a drunk driver and a silver Nissan block in the runway.

Planes trying to land, planes trying to land. Pilot said he was taxing his airplane when he came up on the Nissan. He actually had to get out of the plane and try to get the driver to move out of the way. and they saw the car full of beer cans. They arrested Bonnie Campbell for a second offense felony aggravated DUI.

She was taken to the hospital for treatment. 18 empty beer cans inside her SUV, along with a cardboard box of Coors Light, an empty six-pack, and a garage bag full of other beer cans. She was unsteady on her feet, bloodshot, eyes slurred, speech 34 on this, 0.34 on the blood alcohol. Breathalyzer test four times a legal limit. Wow.

So she told police she was visiting family who have a hangar at the airport. And jail records show her home address is in Texas. Just wow. Fat Bear Week, a bear death caught on camera postpones Fat Bear Week plans. That's an actual thing.

Fat Bear Week. It's Fat Bear Week. Two Alaskan grizzlies got into a fight, and one of the animals was killed, and it was captured on a live stream run by explore.org. And they were like, oh my gosh, another bear killed another one on the river. Ah, so now they're.

Fat bear off. There you go. Stick with us. On the go and need a quick news fix with a fun twist? Follow Dana's Absurd Truth podcast for bite-sized, informative episodes, perfect for your busy schedule on Apple or wherever you get your podcast.

How is the left going to deal with the cognitive dissonance that comes with Me Too? believe all women and then they f Wait, second dude. slapping a chick hard enough to spin her around. back in twenty twelve in Cannes Film Festival. That story that's out today.

And by the way, there are people running down. They've got photos of this of our video of him with this chick. Arriving at the 2012 Cannes Festival, which, by the way, why was he going there? I don't even know what he does. What does he do?

I don't really I'm too lazy to look it up myself 'cause I don't care. But he was accused of forcefully slapping his girlfriend, they've been dating for three months for flirting with another man at this gala. and uh they were in the valet line at the Cannes Film Festival. And I don't know, man. I just, I don't know how he's redefining masculinity.

By impregnating the nanny while he was married to his first wife and then slapping a chick in 2012. Wait, didn't he? He didn't even marry Kamala Harris until like, what, 2014, 2016? Right. But she was like, I helped him raise his kids.

What?

There's Is she the nanny? I didn't know. There. I I don't know. I got questions.

I got some questions. That's all. That's all I'm saying. Just, you know, how is the left going to deal with that? I mean, this is these are the people who are like, Brett Kavanaugh literally raped everybody.

It's better to say who wasn't raped by Brett Kavanaugh. I mean, it was like that. Remember how bad it was? It was so bad. I'm just saying, you know.

I don't know. with that. They are just weird. We have the two weirdest candidates on the left. And Their spouses are weird.

That Gwen lady, dude, I for real think that she is an actual psychopath. Have you seen her eyes? Look at her eyes. Or don't not too close. I'm going to give you I'm gonna eat all the millennial dudes.

Actually, dudes in general, zoomers, all of you, but particularly of the younger demographic. You see a chicken. across the room that's got eyes like that, you avert thy glance, sir. Because she cray. All right, like I'm saving you so much drama, and I'm saving.

I am, look, I am not wrong. Your sister here is not wrong. Your sister in conservatism and Christ is not wrong. You see a chick that's got eyes like that, and she gives you the look from across the room. Ivert thy glance.

Because you don't want that crazy. And Kane, I'm not wrong, right? Those chicks are like that, they got them crazy eyes. Seems to be a common thread. Yeah.

It's like the good Lord above is like, this one's weird, so we're going to give them the eyes to match. I mean, as though you couldn't tell when she was like, I love the smell of burning tars and all that. And then what was the other thing that she did? Turn the page! She's talked to she talks to the crowd, like most Democrats do, as though they're toddlers.

It's yeah, she, I mean, she had her whole like, turn the page. Can you say it with me? It reminded me of that episode of it's S-C-H, Shit's Creek, the television show, where Moira Rose was trying to tell her son David how to fold in the cheese, and she had no idea how to cook. And they were following her grandmother's like enchilada recipe or whatever. She's like, David and I have to fold in the cheese.

And he's like, Okay, what does that mean? What does it mean to fold in the cheese?

Well, you just fold it in, fold in the cheese. And he's like, You keep saying that to me, but what does that mean? Fold in the cheese. I don't even think you know what that means. Just fold it in.

It's the same thing. I got the same vibe. Turn the page. Yeah. I just want to throw the book at you.

That's all I want to do. Oh my gosh, she just seems to, and they seem to, okay, maybe this is me being weird. Let me go on a little off-road adventure real quick. Are you weirded out when you meet people who are too joyfully nice? Yeah, actually.

Not like people who are courteous. But people who are like oh my Oh gosh, hello. Ah. You are so lovely. Welcome.

It is so good to see you. That. Creeps me out so bad because. I'm not maybe, you know, I...

Sometimes when I have a thought, it's not in the box or anywhere near the box. It's way outside the box, out into the woods, down a path near the river. And I'm just like, they're going to eat me. like my first thought. All right.

Doesn't she give off that vibe? She does. It's like It's totally weird. I just, I'm so, I get so nervous about that, and people are super nice. Right?

Just think about it. Like how many times have you and those people are usually psycho killers. Tim Waltz is kind of like that too. You know, like all in person, he's all like, Well, you know, I'm just that knucklehead, yuck, yuck. But then.

You know Behind the scenes, you know, he's like, Why is it the He's like super nuts. He's super nuts. You know it's true. Come on. I just, I just, neither of them are.

I feel like, you know, they just, they're like the type of people that they invite you to a dinner party. You're like, to eat me? Like, why? 'Cause you're crazy. But I'm never wrong.

These people are always nuts. I look at Doug Emhoff, and I feel like he's trying too hard. to be the second banana. You know what I mean?

Well, I'm just a wife guy. Were you a wife guy when you were on top of your nanny? Huh. Just a wife guy. Were you a wife guy when you were slapping that chicken line at the Cam Film Festival Valet?

Yeah. Did we just cover the. Did we go from the talking heads to the drowning pole in one reference? We did. You're correct.

Psycho Killer, Kescuse. Fu fa fa fa fum fa fum fa fa fa better. Yes, we did. We did. Then it's full circle.

There you go. Are you impressed yet? Our son, are you impressed, Steve? Very much so. I, but you know what I mean?

Like, he is, is he a wife guy? What is that? That's what normal people would call a husband, but the left has to make up cutie little terms for everything, right? Yeah, it sounds so lame. Oh, okay.

I I'm like you just sound like a female copulatory organ. Stop it. Mm-hmm. You can't deal with it. All right.

Iran and Israel Just gonna switch gears here. There's no other better way to segue, so we're just gonna go through it.

So, um Hmm. Uh I just think And like I said, we've been following everything and waiting to hear because You have Iran that says that they're just, you know, they're going to strike back. Israel said that they could actually, they're considering just ending their nuclear program. I do wonder why. out of all the times now You know.

Iran has decided we're not going to act through a proxy. Houthis. Or has balla or his b his balla. And Hamas. We're not going to act through.

any of these proxies, we're just going to do it ourselves because now they're opening themselves up to full aggression. The UN, the completely worthless UN, they called for halting the escalation in the Middle East, guys. The United Nations is weighed in. The UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres announced the escalation of tensions. He he denounced it and he said that we need to cease fire.

Who are you telling to cease fire, you tool bag?

Well, I condemn it. We need a ceasefire. Whew? To tell Iran to cease the fire. They this was not an all-out war until they started Cease firing, they started firing and not ceasing through Lebanon.

What are you doing?

So he released a stupid statement. And as a result, He is now persona non grata and he's banned from entering Israel. According to Israeli Foreign Minister Yisrael Katz, he declared that General Antonio Guterres is persona non grata, banned him from entering the country because he did not categorically condemn Iran's missile attack on Israel, which he didn't. He's correct. The cowardly UN Secretary General just said, quote, this must stop.

We absolutely need a ceasefire. I condemn the broadening of the Middle East conflict with escalation after escalation. That's what he said. He added, An all-out war must be avoided in Lebanon at all costs, and the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Lebanon must be respected. Direct quote.

Whoa, you're missing a country here, dude. They had no beans to pick until they got attacked again. What is with these people? Blank the UN. Blank the UN.

It is the most worthless, ridiculous organization. Oh, but Dana, we need it at least to keep up the appearance that we're behaving civilly with each other. And wouldn't you want the United States to control it? And instead of it being in another nation, maybe I could be prevailed upon with that sentiment 10 years ago.

Okay, maybe fifteen years ago, but not anymore because this is worthless. I mean, they're condemning notice how they won't even they can't even bring themselves to mention Israel.

Well, you know, the terr the territorial integrity of Lebanon must be respected. What about the territorial integrity of Israel? They won't even mention Iran. They're just like, poor Lebanon. What about Iran that's using Lebanon as a launching base for all of this?

What about what about What is it? The Jerusalem people who have been completely attacked by Hezbollah and all of these Iranian proxies in Lebanon. What about that? I mean, they can't even bring themselves to condemn Iran. And they they can't bring themselves to defend Israel's territorial integrity Burn, burn all of it.

I'm done with all of it. This guy, this UN Secretary General, ought to be dragged out of his offices and downtown cushy building there in Manhattan. Every time I'm in Manhattan on my way, uh, to Lukewardy, I gotta go past.

Well, depending on what part of Midtown I'm coming from, I gotta go past you. And I hate, I vg. You can just feel the evil. That it mandates from that building. It's just worthless.

So yeah, I would say that he's persona non grata as well. He added, Israel is going to cont continue to defend its citizens and maintain its status with or without Antonio Guterres.

Well, he's absolutely correct on that. I mean, I can't even imagine. They said, oh, we need to, the Secretary General demanded that the international community support the $426 million humanitarian appeal launched today in Beirut. Why don't you pay for that? You know, the only, why don't you demand that Iran pays for it?

Because Iran did this. Iran did all of this. And Iranian people, by the way, This is the one time I'm at I d differentiate them from Gaza. because Gazens voted for Hamas. They overwhelmingly love Hamas.

Poll after poll. They love them some Hamas. Hamas was so damn popular, they were going to win elections in the West Bank, too. But it's not the same in Iran. Those people have time have tried time and time again to stand up.

Most recently, The biggest one was the Green Revolution, well, to date in modern time. The Green Revolution went under Obama-Biden, and Obama turned a deaf ear to them. People in the streets protesting. You know why they covered their faces with whatever they could get their hands on? Not because they were trying to be trendy douchebags like Black Block and everything over here in the United States, because the Iranian National the Iranian Revolutionary Guard was going and killing their family if they found out that they had a member of their family in the street protesting.

The regime. They were sniping. Ah Protesters on rooftops. Do you remember Nita? The beautiful young woman who was shot in the head.

By a sniper, by a member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. She wasn't even actually part of the protests. Her and her father were in the car driving back home for something. They saw the protest. They parked the car to the side of the road.

They got out and they walked forward to get a closer view. She wasn't even participating, but it appeared. to the guard member who shot her that she was, and she got sniped through the head. All on video, all on video. She fell to the sidewalk and was dead in minutes, and seconds actually.

her blood streaming out behind her. On the sidewalk. Yeah, that's what happens in Iran. The people That's the only, this is one of the very rare instances in which I separate the people from the regime. because they have tried time and time again.

But they don't get the support from the United States that the United States gives to Hamas and Hamas's supporters. No, my gosh, the United States put up a damn floating port. to give more supplies to Hamas. But they were Completely MIA. for Iranians during the Green Revolution.

By the way, I saw a picture of Jimmy Carter wheeled out in a wheelchair. Uh, what is it? He wh what was he seeing? Was like Blue Angels? What was it?

Yeah, was that a chair? Was that like a gurney? Or something. 'Cause he celebrated his 100th birthday. How sad is it that he may not live to see the absolute poo kano that he created in Iran and the Middle East when he opened that Pandora's box with the Ayatollah and the shot and all that?

How sad that he may not live long enough to see that come full circle, huh?
