Milton's Wrath, Israel's October 7th Observance & Kamala's Media Blitz

My broader question to you, I think, is about this misinformation. Do you think this is a time to put falsehoods aside, like the idea that FEMA funds are being redirected to migrants, which is just not true? It is true that FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security have been spending billions of dollars on migrants.

Now, I understand some people say they're separate funds, but we just passed a short-term spending bill. It's very common for the administration to come and ask for permission to move money between funds, especially to prepare for emergencies. And second, I would note that this administration seems to have no problem finding money when they want to spend it on their priorities. When they need hundreds of billions of dollars to pay off student loans for graduate students and gender studies programs, they somehow find it. When it's trying to get helicopters to deliver food and water and cellular service and life-saving medicine into these mountain valleys, they somehow can't seem to find the money.

I got to be honest with you, I was temporarily distracted there because I thought he said ginger studies for like a half second. And I thought, there you go. might make kind of some sense.

So I love the questioning that they have. And this is on Meet the Press. This is Tom Cotton speaking on Meet the Press about all the FEMA stuff that we're going to get into. There's a lot we're going to touch on today, including it being the one-year observance since the October 7th terror attack on Israel, in which you still have over 100 hostages held, including Americans. Not a peep.

From the administration on those Americans hardly in this year's sense. But the latest with FEMA, because we have another hurricane barreling towards Florida. Towards Tampa, people are being told to evacuate and to stay safe. And we're gonna give you all the latest with that. But Tom Cotton's talking to, don't tell me your name because I don't care.

That chick over at MSNBC. And she's like, well, you know, you were saying that FEMA was appropriating these funds for these things, which isn't true. Why do you hate humans and all people who come into the country that don't look like you? That's exactly what she wanted to say, because that's what she said. And I love the approach that they have on it.

That's her spin that she has on it. her her bias. It's like, why even sit down and Answer a question. What if you? I think that we need to start answering questions the way that the media asks them.

So, why are you such a Nazi? You know, I would love to answer your Nazi question, but I just have a hard problem talking, a hard time talking with Nazis like that. You know, I mean, I just. Have you stopped being racist? Yeah, if you could stop being racist for five seconds and I'll answer your question, Ms.

Nazi. I mean, for real. I pffted. Just really think that This would, you know, just thinking that that might be the way to go with us. But it is true, and we're going to get into that because some of the stuff is.

Dare I make you angry today? I don't know.

Some of this stuff is pretty frustrating. And this is just all, you know, this is all the latest with the DEI and everything else that's been coming down. It's been infecting all of these government agencies.

So before we get started, welcome. Dana Lash with you. We're going to start your week off properly. It's Monday. Happy to be with you on this beautiful Texas October Monday.

Although not so beautiful. For parts of Florida, which we're going to touch on, Hurricane Milton. Everyone's being told to evac. And, um I was looking at some of the. Are you guys like me?

I get obsessed with the weather. It's like a thing if you're in Missouri, you grow up with it, right? You know how, like, Floridians, they're like, well, you know, I don't know, they lick a finger, put it in the wind. Yeah, maybe Olivac. Maybe I won't.

You know, they just kind of Floridians have have been through it before. And so they have a different approach than people who aren't from the area, like Missourians with tornadoes, and even Texas with tornadoes as well. And so, depending on where you were born and raised, you grow up. basically become like being a pretend meteorologist, right Cain? That's pretty accurate, I think.

Like, how Kane will know this? Because he you know, in in St. Louis radio, where he also cut his teeth. It's like a thing. Everybody, it's all hands on deck.

Everyone is an amateur. Meteorologist. All of a sudden you learn how to read barometric. I don't even know where these skills come from. They just, you know, all of a sudden appear.

It's like the matrix. You're plugged in and you can fly a helicopter. You all of a sudden know how to read all these things and be able to accurately explain them.

So, you're all watching the weather and you're watching the sky. And I mean, it gets down to a science. Like, I can feel the dew level in the air. I mean, it's just like. And you watch everything obsessively.

So now I have taken to doing that with everything. And then it just expands as you age.

So You don't need to, though. There's enough weather reports out there that get into it. But this hurricane, Beryl and DeWards, this is Milton, it's a cat four right now, right? Just go up. Oh, is it now a Cat 5?

Yeah. Oh, that's nice. How nice for it to do that while I had my yogurt before I came in. It decides to do that. Thanks, Milton.

So Milton's barreling to wards. Uh I mean and this is it's it's the what are they they It's Tampa, Tampa Bay. Uh I mean, there's like some pretty direct maps. It's gonna hit. what, like Wednesday, Thursday, Wednesday late afternoon night, going into early Thursday morning.

So, everybody, I hope everybody's staying safe there. And it's expected to make landfall in Tampa Bay about Wednesday afternoon. They think it's going to be more destructive than Hurricane Helene. 6 million are under Hurricane Warning, winds up to 150 miles per hour. And they're looking at storm surges anywhere from like 9 to 12 feet, which is crazy.

So it's going to make, they said, I mean, if it's been upgraded now, then it's, you know, it's a Cat 5 and looking at 150 mile per hour winds. And It's everybody's been booking flights. Gas pumps have been running because everybody's leaving. Everybody's got a. Everybody has to.

Everybody has to uh Uh evacuate. And it's, yeah, it has intensified and it's Cat5. They think it could be 160 mile per hour winds or higher gusts. That's insane. It's currently in the Gulf right now, and it's just...

Develop. Yeah, barreling right towards right towards Florida. Yes, Kane. And part of that, you know, that meteorologist. Yes, yes, meteorologist Kane, please, yes.

It just happens to be the case that it hasn't been since 1999. And we know these things, too. When you grow up in weather-affected areas, that sounds like a DEI term, but you know what I mean. You forget and then you see it again when someone else posts it. But there hasn't been a hurricane to develop in the Gulf.

Since Hurricane Brett in 1999. This one went from like Tropical Storm to Cat 5 in almost no time. Jeez. I'm wondering. My tinfoil hat's really zinging.

Mm. Oh my gosh, you're not one of the weather people, are you? I'm just saying. I do not believe to that extent that the government can control weather. I just don't.

Well, you know, keep your eyes closed. I just don't.

I don't believe it. If you want to keep your eyes closed, it's fine.

Now, do I believe maybe more? I believe in Bigfoot. I believe in aliens completely. Oh, I completely believe they're Bigfoot. That's real.

Is it? Bigfoots. Foot? Foots? I don't know.

That's a mild thing. Yeah, you know, not to that extent. No, I don't. Interesting. And why would people so you're telling me that Democrats are controlling the weather to make a hurricane go and hit Democrat voter or Republican voter areas?

No, you're putting words.

Well, because this is going somewhere. This crazy train is going somewhere. Where do the tracks lead? Tinfoil hat is zinging, and I don't think it's Democrats. I think they're like with Democrat tendencies of individuals that play.

Large groups of Democrat wizards. Just saying. Just asking. You're pushing this off the ledge. I'm not pushing that off the ledge.

It's already on the ledge on the ground. It's splat.

So, Juan's showing you some of the, I love this map, Ventuski. Juan's showing you my favorite map to look at. Because you can see everything and get, I mean, you can zero in and get down to like precisely the center. This is the funnest app to actually follow. It's the Ventuski app.

It really is. And you can see the wind gust. He also has, for those of you watching the simulcast of the radio program, he also has that, what is it? That's the projected, pretty much assumed at this point. We say projected because it's the proper terminology, but.

That's the path of the hurricane.

So we're praying for everybody. Just, I know I'm not going to sit here and tell Floridians their business, right? But I just think, like, when the people who live there also are like, yeah, 12-foot storm surge, maybe you should get. Let's maybe listen to those people. They had, who was it?

One of their officials went out there and said, well, if you're going to stay, you might as well write your name on your impermanent marker on your arm so people can identify you when they find you. Please listen, please. And take your pets. Please, dear heavens, don't leave your pets. Oh my goodness.

All right, we got more on this. We're also obviously. Uh following the one year observance. October seventh. And one year ago today, still I mean, a hundred hostages are missing, including babies.

Americans Uh there's still no and it's There there was videos of people in Gaza celebrating today. The air observance, well, they voted for Hamas, the Iran satellite that did this, so that's not entirely shocking. And I I just The thing that really is mind-boggling, I was looking at a couple of different surveys, particularly in Britain. They were saying that there is a significant number of British youngsters who have increased their support for Hamas, and they believe that reports about October 7th are exaggerated or they think it was justified. Their new findings, 18 to 24, And they talk about how Uh that One in ten of those in that demographic have a favorable view of Hamas.

a year after their deadlier terror attack. 13%, they think, believe that the media maybe perhaps exaggerated or invented. 16% believe it was justified. This is insane. I'm not even quite sure how anyone can.

I mean, it's it, they live streamed it. It wasn't that people, I mean, the terrorists themselves, that's one of the reasons that we have all this footage, because that's terrorist footage. They literally filmed it themselves. And they broadcast it. And so I I mean, good heavens, it's just and then the attacks since then.

In that time, no one has ever asked Hamas Two. Ceasefire. No one has asked. Hezbollah to cease fire. No one has asked Iran to cease fire.

It's always been demands of Israel to cease fire simply when they're protecting themselves. That's a crazy stat. When you think of it. Think of all the protests that we've seen on college campuses here. Kind of makes sense, doesn't it?

But that's not all, there's more. In addition to that, The hate crimes, I don't like the phrase hate crime. I think it's a stupid phrase just to put it out there because it suggests that there is a crime that is born out of hate, which is stupid. You know, nobody believes this.

However, Crimes that are motivated by a very specific ideology, well, that's an accurate thing to say. Should it be elevated above other crimes? I don't believe so. I'm very. Very of the Republic on this.

However, And again, this is a telegraph survey from London. They discovered that specifically, like anti, like anti-Semitic, like they hate Jewish people. crimes, that's their motivator, have skyrocketed fourfold. since last year, according to new data. This was from the Telegraph, which, by the way, is not exactly a conservative entity.

It's not as far left as the Guardian, but it's not a super conservative entity. And so this um New survey. They said that they looked at the number of incidents for people who were motivated by dislike of Islam and compared it to. The number of cases that were criminal actions that were motivated by people who disliked Jewish people, and what they discovered is that. The number of anti-Semitic versus quote-unquote Islamophobic are like fourfold.

They've exploded. And these are all cases reported by the Met police. just since October 7th last year. That's insane. And I kind of think that it's, well, we know in the United States that those cases are motivated by dislike specifically of.

Jewish people have increased.

So this is, I mean, think about how, again, look at what was happening on college campuses last year. It's not surprising really, is it? We have a lot more on the way, including Kamala Harris's disastrous interview. Also, a friend of mine was shopping over the weekend. Yeah.

And they got a picture. of Alendora Majorcus. Coming out of a very, very ritzy menswear store. He was out there shopping for luxury men's clothing. While Everything else with FEMA.

The fallout and recovery from Hurricane Helene, now impending Hurricane Milton. is right at his doorstep. Also, while headlines about all the FEMA spending and the DEI have been making the pages.

So we're gonna we're gonna discuss that. And then we're also gonna get into Democrats pushing for more speech speech censorship, our partners over at Caltech. the lightest, thinnest, 9mm on the market with double stack magets, the Caltech P15. I almost said PFF10. It's the Caltech P15.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

So, people in California are freaking out because of what is being described as an invasion of a dangerous three-foot rat-like creature with orange teeth that is threatening the safety of residents and the state's economy.

Now, I've got an objection to what these things are named. They're called Nutria. There's a thousand Nutria, and it's one of the largest rodent species. And they've already been hunted down in the Bay Area this year. One of the reasons that I don't like their name is because it suggests that they're nutritious, and in any way, Appealing to eat, and they're not.

They look like giant beaver mole rats, and I don't know. But they're also known as koipu, the animals. They weigh around 20 pounds. They pose a threat to everything. They carry tapeworms.

I mean, they're like the. Mammalian Mosquito. I don't know.

They also carry tuberculosis, blood, and liver flukes. This is like all the horrible things. Nutrients are made of evil, is apparently what I'm hearing. Anyway, they're near permanent water sources and they're having a major problem because the population has just exploded.

So they're all freaking out in California over the Nutria, which is a weird name for an animal. Also, the This, there was a pro-God or a pro-Hamas protester who set himself on fire outside of the White House. I mean, you know, you're going to take care of a problem for people. The. He is a pro-Hamas protester who set himself on fire in front of the White House.

The photojournalist Samuel Mena Jr. winced and screamed in pain. He set his left arm on fire. And Yeah, then you realize after it started catching fire that it hurt. And he's a self-proclaimed visual storyteller and he was screaming that it was misinformation and that I'm a journalist and I said it was okay.

Okay, well, that's no. Scientists grow a mystery tree from a 1,000-year-old seed. I swear to you, I think this is how Game of Thrones started.

So when I'm looking down, I'm like referencing, because we don't do prompters here, we don't got any of that stuff. It's just all off the cuff for three hours every day. Juan shown it out. This thing is Haas. And I, this is what I look, all my stuff is like right down here.

So, this is where I'm, you know, I'm watching X, I'm watching like some of the every now and then I can check in on the chat, but I can, I can't really, because then I'll get lost and then I'm not doing the show anymore, and then I'll be so I can't. I have a general rule, I'm not, and by others that have made it for me, I'm not allowed to look at it when I'm on air because I'll get distracted.

So, we don't have prompters, so I'm not reading stuff off the screen. But Also, make sure you go sign up at SubSec. We're going to have stuff coming out for you. Ah, a few things coming out for you. Uh but uh this uh Ongoing.

disaster Rook follow-up recovery from Hurricane Helene. It has been Unbelievable the headlines that have been coming out about this. And I'm looking at now how they've been prioritizing The DEI stuff. I'm This is which is the the let me pull this up. There was audio.

Where They were saying that something it's like that somehow people who are L alphabet are somehow more disproportionately affected. By Like the hurricane, it was something to that effect. Cuts well? May have been. And they were saying that they had this FEMA disaster preparedness meeting.

And in it they were saying that, well, we should focus our efforts on the alphabet people. because they struggled before this storm. They were really struggling before that. And I'm thinking, wait a minute, they said it was about disaster equity. What?

That doesn't make any sense to me. How is this about disastered? Equity. Yes, it was at 9.30 this morning in Slack. Is this, if we have this, play this?

Because this is what they've been talking about with FEMA, and this is, I think, one of the problems in making sure that we're getting things to people. Listen. The shift that we're seeing right now is a shift in emergency management from utilitarian principles where everything is designed for the greatest good for the greatest amount of people to disaster equity. But we have to do more, right? And so this topic is intersecting, I think, with a number of other topics where we have to look at policies and understand to what extent they have disadvantaged communities that had less assets, communities that had pre-existing vulnerabilities.

So they're saying accessing disasters. We should focus our efforts on LGBTQIA people. They struggle before the storm, was the direct quote. And This is They also added, FEMA relief is no longer about getting the greatest good for the greatest amount of people. It's about disaster equity.

What is disaster equity? What is even that? But this is what they were talking about in this soundbite. And I am trying to wrap my head around this. Because The alphabet people.

How Are they more disproportionately affected by the hurricane than People who don't add, who don't say that they're alphabet people. I'm how what? Do gay people get blown away more in the winds? I don't understand. Like, what's happening?

Like, anchor down the gays. Like, what's going on? Do they get like blown up into the hurricane? I don't know.

Is there a questionnaire before they rescue you? Yeah. Yeah, do th does the boat pull up when you're on top of the pitched roof?

Well, you know, which was apparently a huge problem in Butler. Does the when the boat pulls up, do they go, hey? How do you like to have to sex? Is that what they yell before? They engage and yeah.

Are you gay? And then then there's probably some, you know, what was that? We can't rescue you until we know if you're gay. Is that. Yeah.

If that's the case and we just advise everyone to say they're gay. Yeah, just go ahead and be like, just yeah, be like, gay over here, get me. Just do it. Yeah, just go ahead. Get off them rooftops.

They said, yeah, FEMA is no longer about getting the greatest good for the greatest amount of people. It's about disaster equity. So, some people, because, okay, let me just, I know, let me walk down this, just bear with me, please.

So and this was a FEMA disaster preparedness meeting.

So this is not speculation. These are literally FEMA people with official FEMA backgrounds in their official FEMA Zoom call talking about this stuff. And they're they're saying that it's about disaster equity. If you And someone else are across a flooded street, and you're on each other's roof, you're on your roof, and they're on their roof. And there's one boat Then it has to go to the person whose alphabet because it's about disaster equity.

That means if you have to die in the name of equity, then I guess you got to die. This is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. We are Taking You know, these identity factors and making them into idols at the expense of security and safety. They struggled before this storm. Oh my gosh, I can't.

I can't. One of the guys whose picture there I don't even understand what half of his So his name is Tyler Atkins. He's a female. He works as a training manager in the Office of Resilience, managing our Resilient and Ready seminar series. It's a twice monthly webinar.

See, this sounds horrible. It discusses climate change, equity, and FEMA programs. Oh. They have 23,000 employees and they get like $30 billion a year. Why again?

This is so. And they've been trying to community note it on X, and they're trying to say it's not FEMA, but yes, we have to actually acknowledge that it's FEMA, admitting that it's FEMA. Because it is.

So, I mean, what if you can't, what if you're drowning and the water's like actively entering your lungs when the boat, the FEMA boat pulls up and they, you can't, they don't know what to do. Like, we don't know if he's gay. You can't say I mean, sir, can you stop drowning for a second? Just tell us whether or not you're gay. I'm not making all this up.

This is how stupid this is. And then you have this, audio summit 11. They're concerned about the shelters misgentering. Illegal immigrant trans people. This is all the stuff FEMA has been involved in.

Listen to this stuff. This is crazy. Being a migrant trans woman, there's an undocumented concern. There is also a concern of whether they would trust the people places that are offering shelter that are faith-based. Because of the way they've been responded to in the past, then if they are accepted, What would happen in terms of misgendering, in terms of bedrooms and bathrooms, et cetera?

And then, in addition, public safety once they're inside from those who are actually sheltering with them. You know, the first people who have been showing up to all this stuff have been faith-based people. FEMA showed up a week later, so they don't get to complain. They don't get to do any of this. They showed up way later.

So it was the faith-based people that showed up first. And now you're more worried about well are they using the proper pronouns. Who gives a rat's ass? You've been displaced by a hurricane. You're in need of shelter.

Oh, my gosh Stop This is where fantasy goes too far. where you're now actually impeding Recovery, assistance, disaster response because of fantasy role play. And you can get mad that it's called fantasy roleplay. But that's exactly what it is. I mean, it's it's fantasy role play.

And now it's actually affecting saving lives. This is just insane that we're at this juncture in society right now.

Well, there's You know, we can't, we don't know if they're, you know, if they're misgendering people. You know, they've they're help. You've got a volunteer staff, usually with a lot of these, I mean, these, well, all of them, all of these faith-based entities. It's a volunteer staff. They are operating these shelters.

They are serving their community. They're also dealing with hundreds, sometimes thousands of people who need assistance. We don't have time for this. We do not have time for this. Either you're prioritizing saving lives.

And and disaster recovery, or you just want to be the turn of the punch bowl and mess everything up because you're insistent on LARPing. I mean, it just. Audio Soundbite 9, this is when they've been pushing this as their public relations campaign. They're trying to say that this stuff is saying these things. and criticizing the agency about these issues.

You're criticizing them over something false. But what we just played for you are literally two videos of FEMA people in official FEMA meetings talking about it. Audio Sunbite 9.

So much is going viral online as well. One user suggested yesterday that a militia should go against FEMA. It got more than half a million views. What kind of impact has this had on the recovery effort? It has a tremendous impact on the comfort level of our own employees to be able to go out there, but it's also demoralizing to all of the first responders that have been out there in their communities helping people.

FEMA staff, volunteers, the private sector that are working side by side with local officials to go out and help people. I need to make sure I can get the resources to where they need it. And when you have this dangerous rhetoric like you're hearing, it creates fear in our own employees. We need to make sure we're getting help to the people who need it.

Okay, well, you're prioritizing, though, all of this other identity politics stuff that has nothing to do with anything that you're talking about. I'm just I'm confused. And these aren't falsehoods. All the stuff that they've been saying is actually accurate, that they're being criticized over. I mean, we've got more.

I mean, this is just the tip of the iceberg. And yeah, and they are claiming that they never gave any kind of money for the care and housing of those who came in illegally.

Well, that's just false because we have receipts for that. I mean, it's publicly available. For crying out loud, it's on FEMA's website. How do you think people got this information? This is so stupid.

I can't even believe we're arguing about this.

So some of the other things we're looking at too, the polling. We're going to get into all of this because there's some interesting stuff coming out of Pennsylvania with registered Republican voters. Registrations are surging. I don't know what that means just yet because it had been actually kind of depressed. It had been down and there wasn't a lot of ground game there.

So we're going to go over that here coming up. And we're also going to get into some of these other numbers. It's still incredibly close. But there Trump has a little bit of momentum. He's got four weeks to maintain it.

A new general election poll from YouGov, Yahoo, and then several other You got 47 to 47, have them tied. RCP has them, I mean, within the margin of error, again, it's still tied. Very close. There is, like I said, a little bit of momentum for Trump right now. Can he keep that?

For four weeks. And then, what does that, what are Democrats going to do in that time? Because at this point, Any momentum Harris has, I don't, if she's losing it, then she's losing it. I don't know how you recover that momentum. It's very, very hard to start to come down.

Into that valley off of a high after choosing your running mate, upending the Democrat. Primary, doing all of this stuff, coming from. uh this coming from this you know polling Hi, this bump. You're coming down into the valley now. Within four weeks, it's really, really hard to reclaim that or.

try to capitalize on another event. That's just statistically really impossible. The left needs to figure out where she is in all of this because That is a huge indication about where we're going to be in four weeks' time.

So, we're going to get into all of that. There's a lot still. To get. And we're also gonna get into what's happening in Florida. FEMA was shutting landfills.

And apparently, Governor Ron DeSantis ordered everyone to tear down, literally tear down the gates of these landfills so that debris removal could continue unabated by the federal government. There's video of em doing it too. Number of these landfills. It's wild. Partners over at Readywise.

Today we got 32 days until the election. Oh, oh, the prompter said.

So, thirty-two days. 30. two days.

Okay, we got some fiscal. We got some business to do.

Alright. 32 days. And we know We will do it. And this is going to be a very tight race until the very end. This is going to be a very tight race until the very end.

We are the underdog, and we know we have some hard work ahead. It's so awkward. Guys, it's so awkward. Come on. Uh Her te her teleprompter went down.

So she was I guess just she's trying to buy some time.

So it I knew how many days there were after she said it. How many days were there? I think it was 32. That was some Gwen Walls level. Repetition.

Turn the Hey. You gotta turn the page. That was really. She's just not. She's being ripped for her 60 Minutes interview, which we're going to.

Dive into coming up. I was actually reading. just on break another piece about it and it's just there she's just being beaten over it. Because it's just so awkward. And she just um A When you're she's unprepared, she's just unprepared.

Not everyone is made for every. type of position or to hold every type of office or to even speak.

Well, without a telephe couldn't do our job. She couldn't do my job. I don't have a teleprompter at all. Ever. Ever.

I have never used a tele I have never used a teleprompter for a speech, like d giving a speech like that, ever.

Now there will be times when I write my own copy. And I would like read for like an ad or something, but There's, she could not, she can't think like that. She can't think through like that. And it is different. But if you're used to speaking in front of people, and this has been the problem of her hiding away.

And refusing to do press, you know, when you're thrown. In the middle of a press scrum like that, that's like training. It's like a training exercise for these politicians. That's why they shouldn't run from the press. They should take that opportunity to hone their rhetorical skills and learn how to control the conversation and champion your narrative, et cetera, et cetera.

And when you hide away and you eschew all these opportunities to do so, this is what happens. When you're in front of an audience and your teleprompter goes down, or what happens when you sit down for an interview on your economic policies with 60 minutes. And when you're asked tough questions that force you off of your you know, talking points dance card. It gets rough. We're gonna talk about all of that coming up.

There's more cringe to have. There's a lot more cringe on the way, but it's worth it. And then we're gonna get into some of the latest polling and what that means. Because we need to pay attention to a couple of states, and I'm going to tell you exactly why and what states they are. Stick with us, second hour.

And you can also Find the simulcast of the radio program, Channel 347, Direct TV, as well as X and all that good stuff. This, I just want to reiterate. FEMA is FEMA's problem. This was the I guess one of the FEMA officials. lamenting what she described as the falsehoods and Lies about female response and where money goes, et cetera, et cetera, and how it's dangerous and demoralizing.

Audio Sound by 9, but there's a follow-up. What's that? Ten.

Sorry, ten. Go ahead. Let's talk about some of the misinformation that is out there, including these claims from former President Trump that FEMA is about a billion dollars short because money has been going to undocumented immigrants, also that the areas of the Republican areas of the state are being intentionally ignored in some fashion. You know, it's frankly ridiculous and just plain false. This kind of rhetoric is not helpful to people.

You know, it's really a shame that we're putting politics ahead of helping people, and that's what we're here to do. We've had the complete support of the state. We've had the local officials helping to push back on this dangerous, truly dangerous narrative that is creating this fear of trying to reach out and help us or to register for help. You know, people need resources and we need them to get into the system. And it's just, you know, a shame that people are sitting home on their comfortable couches while we have thousands of people here on the ground that have left their own families.

And to be able to complain about your response because it's citizens that are making it into these areas before government a full week ahead of time. But what's more, this was KJP. What was this, a week ago? Not even a week ago. Yeah, first we hear her echoing what you just said.

Heard her say, but then it's followed by a little flashback from 2022, just one of the many press conferences that she says this very thing. Audio Summer 33. Listen. No, Biden did not take female relief money to use on migrants.

So FEMA regional administrators have been meeting with city officials on site to coordinate available federal support from FEMA and other federal agencies. Funding is also available through FEMA's emergency food and shelter program to eligible local governments and non-for-profit organizations upon request to support humanitarian relief for migrants.

So it sounds like what she just said was I lied and also FEMA says.

So it's from FEMA. They're saying this.

Okay, well there you have it.

Well, of course they're all lying. And I mean, you keep seeing, look, these people, I'm going to tell you something. You know, guys, there's a damn hurricane recovery effort in six states, and then you got another one that's making its way towards landfall in Florida on Wednesday. Uh, Cat V, Milton. People don't have time to sit here and engage in politics.

The stuff that they're calling out is stuff that's actually happening. It's stuff that they're seeing in their communities. I have an untold number of friends in these states that are saying this stuff. These are good people who have no reason to make up these accusations. They have no reason to fabricate any kind of drama or any kind of story because you know what?

They're trying to get their belongings out of waterlogged properties. They're trying to. Pick up trees and make their roads passable. They're trying to figure out what they're going to do for their kids' school for the next several weeks because they're not going to have power in their area because the infrastructure has been destroyed. They're just trying to figure out where they're going to make sure they can keep getting clean water and hot showers.

They don't have time to make this stuff up for political purposes. What they're calling out is what's happening. And to discount that is offensive. To discount that is dangerous. And to lie about it to save your own big government ass is abysmal.

Shame on you. FEMA should be abolished because all of these people have been going into these areas, private citizens volunteering of their own free will. You've had private helicopter owners that have been flying in resources, rescuing people. The government is always behind, always behind, a day late and a dollar short, and the efforts always half-assed every single time. And then, how dare you criticize their efforts?

You know, they're staying in nice hotels while other people in the area that have been displaced can't even find shelter? Done with it. Or they're threatening people if they're actually trying to aid in assistant resources and recovery. Done with this. No, this is And then you got this, show this photo of Alejandro Mayorkis.

This was insane. He's now look, I get that you can You can multitask. A friend of mine took this. A lot of people were sharing my friend's photo. And uh they weren't crediting him, but He uh would just he it looked like he was sitting outside a mall.

You know, like it looked like one of those things. The wife is shopping, so I'm going to sit in the mall and have my coffee and just scroll on my phone. And he watches Aleandro Mayorkas. come out of this Ritzy menswear store. Comes out of this Ritzy Menswear store where they have like very expensive suit jackets and suits and shirts and all of this stuff.

And he was shopping and comes out with this nice shopping bag. It just looks bad. It just looks, it looked really bad, right? I'm not begrudging you. You know.

It just looked bad, especially when he's Been telling everyone that either the border's been secure or that they're not spending money on stuff when they are spending money on stuff. It just looks bad. And he comes out and he's shopping, and he's all in his khakis, and he's got his, you know, he's got his nice tennis shoes on, and he's in his polo. That's a friend of mine who snapped this photo of him leaving this very ritzy store. And he'd made some purchases.

And in the meantime, you know, what are you doing for the people? The reason why this deserves attention is because he's been telling people in six states that, I mean, the way that the government has been set up and the funding and everything has been prioritized, those people are being disserviced. And you know what? When Ron DeSantis was on last week, he's right. There are a lot of Republicans in the House that have allowed for this to happen and that have allowed for this to happen.

And there are a lot of voters that allowed for it to happen. Everybody wants to kiss the ass of voters and I don't. Because you're not babies, you're grown people. And if people are going to get offended by being told what their lack of accountability in voting does, and you're no better than the trans Tifa who get upset when they're told that just because they tuck, they can be called a chick. We're not doing this cosplaying stuff.

If you want better people in the House, vote for them. If you want better candidates, get out there and donate and mobilize and don't just get in after the fact. I always get so aggravated when people get dissatisfied with the choice of a candidate, the selection of a candidate. Where were you when that candidate was being picked? Where were you when there were a bunch of candidates in the mix and there was fundraising here and get out the vote and canvassing and all of that?

It's always the people who get in, again, day late and a dollar short, and then they want to complain about it and then they want to take their ball and go home. as though they have no accountability in this or any skin in the game. No, that's stupid. The voter is just as much a part of this and more responsible than the politician because we're the people who put them in there. I get that, you know, we're not allowed to say that stuff.

Oh, I can't. I'm not a politician, I don't need nobody's vote. But you all know you all listening know it's true. These people in the house have been enabling Majorca. They've been enabling this.

They have the power of the purse. When have they pulled it? They're all so scared. We're afraid. Then I wish we'd lose seats.

What's the point? If you're just going to go along with Democrats and be Democrat-like, what's the point? Can't be doing this that close. Speaking of which, let's talk about some of the polling here.

So The This is what I think is weird. And I had a friend of mine that had been looking back at Hillary Clinton back in 2016 and where Clinton was compared to Trump going into polling.

So the average at a lot of these places, a lot of these Polling aggregates, whether it's RCP or 538 or a number of others. They have had Harris leading Uh nationally. I mean, really, it's tied. Unless you're beyond that margin of error, then it's just the tide. But they have her ahead in the popular vote by over two points.

Now, in At about this time in 2020, Biden was about Uh eight or nine points ahead in the polls over Trump. But then when he finished on election day, when all was said and done, he was like, it was barely four and a half of the popular vote.

So it was two over where Harris is now. A friend of mine was looking at Hillary Clinton at this time in 2016, in October of 2016, and Hillary Clinton. was about Uh looking at where Harris and Wals are. Hillary Clinton was behind where Joe Biden was in 2020. Hillary Clinton was two points behind that in 2016.

So That's why I'm saying it's so incredibly close. And it's the way that you interpret and look at the polls and then look at previous performances. of the polling. Um And Everything is on the table. There in Pennsylvania Pull this up.

They have been registering an inordinate amount, which is good. The numbers have been coming in for Republicans. The registering for voters in Pennsylvania has surged. Pennsylvania is a state that I think Republicans need to make an active play for. Democrats were gambling it by not having Josh Shapiro on the ticket.

So Trump, I think, going back to Butler, I mean, it was good.

Some people are like, oh, it was stagecraft. It was just. If it helps to drive registered voters, Where's the downside? You see what I'm saying? Like, that's what Republicans should be doing.

I don't know.

Stagecraft is where you go and register Republicans to vote. As long as you're registering Republicans, if you're just doing rallies and you're not making anything happen, then that's stupid and a waste of time and effort. But if you hold a rally, and you're registrating voters, where's the downside?

So they had registered Republicans, the number of Republicans registering surging last month. Uh the Republicans in Pennsylvania registered almost twice as many new voters as Democrats did. And Looking at the Senate. You got Dave McCormick against Bob Casey, the Democrat. And this is a very, it hasn't gotten a ton of attention, but it's a very interesting race.

in Pennsylvania. Uh because It's sort of like a measure, I think, as to where uh Trump could be in the state as well. It's in fact, there was over at Red State. Let me pull this up. This was a piece over at Red State.

That looks into these counties being a bellwether, some of the counties in Pennsylvania being a bellwether. and how one survey conducted by signal showed that Trump led in Erie and Northampton, two Bellwether counties in Pennsylvania. Those were won by the overall winner in 2008, 12, 2016 and 2020.

So they're crucial like the the battleground of battlegrounds, those counties. And by getting more people registered and doing it at a margin of two to one over Democrats, you're really shifting the momentum and you could be also helping to shift the turnout as well because Republican turnout is always what hurts.

So Pennsylvania is becoming kind of the clinched state. for this more and more so. That's what it's looking like, which is why Again, it makes the Democrats gamble about going with Tim Waltz even dumber. The reason that the Democrats went with Walt is because they were trying to secure. That left leaning, that leftward pitch in the Democrat Party.

That's the legacy that they're trying to build towards. If they wanted to be more competitive and if they didn't care so much about protecting their Marxist shift, I don't think that they would have picked Walls. I think they would have made a play for Pennsylvania. This is a very dangerous gamble for Democrats to make. And as it is right now, they're not performing in Pennsylvania the way that they need to in order to make that gamble pay off.

And the voter registration, it I mean, it is two to one. There's a net of 7,000 plus new voters for the GOP, and that's in Upper Providence Township. That's the single biggest the biggest takeaway for registrations in all of the year. And Scott Pressler's been up there doing a lot of this. He was the one who, a little bit back, he found.

So the day of the Trump rally. This Past Saturday. He was the one who found that the uh Pennsylvania Department of State. We're going to be doing this maintenance. On their registration website.

And he noted that typically, because he went back and looked at this. He said, typically the registration, all of this stuff was done. You know, it's done overnight. It's done, you know, people are sleeping, so it's not bothering anybody. They were going to start it in the afternoon when the rally was going.

That was kind of interesting. There's always going to be shenanigans. That's why you can't just overcome the margin of error. You got to overcome the margin of fraud as well. We got a lot more on the way.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

So This is a crazy story. You guys remember, he's legally blind, the former New York governor, David Patterson.

So he was savagely attacked by a group of teenagers. He and his stepson were out in Manhattan and they saw these teenagers climbing a fire escape and he told them to get down. And he and his stepson, 20-year-old Anthony Silva, they came across these teenagers, they were walking their dog, and they got beat up apparently brutally. I don't know what happened to the dog. New York Post, though, said that they got beat up pretty bad.

And And it's interesting because Anthony is the biological son of heard it, Siola.

So he's not there walking. I know. That's what makes it super interesting, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so he got bruises and cuts.

He's expected to recover. He had a concussion. They actually had to take Patterson to Cornell, to the medical center, where his condition was listed as okay, but it was filed as a gang assault. And these are like teenagers. I'm looking at them.

Guys, they look like. Young, it's so weird.

So, Atlanta's investigator of the year was allegedly shot after breaking into the home. I don't know.

This Aubrey Horton 32 was killed in Douglas County by a homeowner in self-defense. An off-duty Atlanta police investigator was fatally shot. He broke into a home about five in the morning. He appeared to be experiencing a mental health episode or under the influence of narcotics. He tried to break into the front door.

The individual who resided there defended themselves. A 10-year-old boy was charged after driving a stolen car near a crowded Minneapolis playground, and not just near it, but also on it. a 10-year-old boy, and it's not the first time that he's done this.

So, this, which is now coming out now with the video, September 20th, Minneapolis police said that it happened near an elementary school in Minneapolis when the playground was crowded and there was like CCTV footage. Nobody was injured, thankfully, but this is the third time this 10-year-old has been arrested. Listen to this: he is a suspect 10 years old in a dozen cases: auto theft, robbery, assault with a deadly weapon. That is crazy. He's 10 years old.

His parents also need to be culpable here. Uh no, we don't need jumbo beavers, but that's not going to stop scientists from trying to resurrect one. First it was the Doto, now it's this.

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

Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you at the bottom of the second hour. I don't know if you got to see. Tim Walt talked to Shannon Bream. Shannon Bream, by the way, is one of the nicest people in broadcasting.

She's a. I mean, she's like an actual Christian. Like, some people just wear the crosses.

Sometimes you'll see people on cable news, and I joke around, but I'm serious. Like, the bigger the cross, the bigger the the moral deficiency. many times. I'm not kidding. Uh one day I'm gonna write a book and I'll name people.

But Not now. Just trust. But um Sheena Bream actually is a, she is a legit, she's a real one. She's, you know, she's one of the nicest people. Obviously, she's a conservative.

But she also is just an anchor. Like she's This is a weird phrase to say for legacy media, but like a classically trained Anchor, right? She's very good at what she does.

So she had Tim Waltz on. These are not hard questions that she's asking of him. And it was J well, Audio Sunbite 23, it was a disaster. That's putting up mildly. Watch.

The Vice President has made it clear that she has policies that make a difference. Her border policies are the most strongest, the fairest we've seen. But now governor, you know a lot of people, including your own party, would not join that statement. There are millions of people who have come here over the last few years that, you know, they see this as an opening.

Well, simply, we have a policy. Donald Trump sees it as a political. Look, James Langford in Oklahoma, the Border Patrol agents, the Wall Street Journal, the Chamber of Commerce all said pass this legislation. You have to have Congress to authorize 1,500 new border agents. You have to have Congress to authorize DOJ to speed adjudications on these asylum claims.

Those are things that would actually work. Donald Trump told us for four years he would deal with this. He didn't. He didn't build his wall, 2%. Mexico didn't pay for it.

This is a real bill that has bipartisan support. It has the experts on board, and it starts to tackle these issues. And we don't have to resort to demonizing people. We don't have to resort to making up or crafting stories, as Senator Vance said he did. Those things were not happening in Springfield, but it doesn't mean that we can't pass a piece of legislation to strengthen our border.

That's what Kamala Harris is talking about. She's talking about solving the problem. That piece of legislation does include the wall that you guys have been so you've Disparage that. I mean, the vice president has as well.

So I don't know if she really intends to move forward with that. But it was negotiated by three or four senators, and many Republicans came out against it long before President Trump indicated he didn't like it either. Yeah. And then there was this where they get into. the abortion issue.

And you remember he told this story. And we've talked about this story, the story of Amber Thurman. And this was out in Georgia. Where Even her own attorney said it was not the law on abortion. it was well he they her attorney said it was medical malpractice honestly if you're taking that What if what is it?

Miffpistrone? The abortion pill? One of the... Effects of that is you could get sepsis, you could bleed to death, all like horrible things. Like every bad side effect is on the is detailed as a consequence of taking that pill.

She took it. And then after she was vomiting blood for three days, she waited to go to the hospital. Then she went to the hospital. Bareem was, she confronted Waltz about this because Waltz kept saying that it was abortion law that killed Thurman, and it wasn't. Even her own attorney disagrees with that.

Audio, somebody 24, listen. Wade, and about the Amber Thurman case in Georgia, her family has, and it's tragic. She is a young mother who left behind a young son. But what her family has said is it was a complication from an abortion pill that she received, and she didn't get proper care when she went to a Georgia hospital, which had multiple opportunities to intervene there. Her own attorney, the family's attorney, says it wasn't the Georgia law.

It was the hospitals. What he claims is malpractice, not treating her when she clearly showed up in distress and still had the byproducts of her pregnancy because of that rare complication from the abortion pill.

So just to be clear on the Georgia law and how her family and her attorney sees it. I think they also indicated that had she not go to North Carolina after the debate the other night that she would have been in a better position.

So look, no, had she just not, she got she legally acquired the pills. That's not an issue.

So, what he's suggesting still is that there was some sort of illegality due to the changing of the law, and there wasn't. That's not true. She waited for three days after she took the pill when she was home. Three days.

So that's not true. These are not going well. These interviews. The 60 Minutes interview was really bad. Audio Sun by 2.

Kamala Harris was talking about the Middle East. I Well Listen. It seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening. We'll build The work that we have done has resulted in a number of. movements in that region by Israel that were Very much prompted by or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen.

And it was prompted by and such as maps and it's you know not a lot of people have maps and it was such as um such as That That was so bad. Um Do you want to hear her talk about Her economic plan. Oh. Audio Soundbite 3? Go ahead.

Yeah, just play it. My plan is about saying that When you invest in small businesses, You invest in the middle class. And you strengthen America's economy. Small businesses are part of the backbone of America's economy. But pardon me, Madam Vice President.

The question was. How are you going to pay for it?

Well, one of the things I'm going to make sure that the richest among us who can afford it. Pay their fair share in taxes. It is not right that teachers and nurses and firefighters are paying a higher tax rate than billionaires and the biggest corporations. And I plan on making that fair. But we're dealing with the real world here.

But the real world includes. How are you going to get this through Congress? You know, when you talk quietly with a lot of folks in Congress, they know exactly what I'm talking about because their constituents know exactly what I'm talking about. Their constituents know what's happening. This is fake.

It's almost like it's fake. I feel like if you were watching this in a movie, it would fit, right? He who is this guy? Who is the because he's so straight-faced? Juan, can you just isolate where he just sat there looking at her?

Because That man's poker face I want that man's poker face. I just want to have that man's. He's just staring at me. Out there in our nation don't have maps, and I believe that our education, like such as in South Africa and Iraq, everywhere, like such as, and I believe that they should be angry because he was so good. He was so good, and he just was like very.

He just was looking at her like, I am unmoved. Look at his face. He is not, that's a poker face. Look, he's like amused. He's not sympathetic if you're her and you're staring at his face.

Can you read him? Can you read his face? Can you tell whether he's got a touch of incredulity on his? His countenance He looks like he's going to laugh at her, but he's also being it. Oh my gosh.

He's like, but that's first, he's like, you didn't answer the question. And it this is CBS, they hate her. Oh my gosh, it's so bad. It's so bad. But there's more, because isn't seven Related to this too?

I know somebody said, go ahead and play seven. This is so bad. I want to take a moment. Oh, no, this is the dry skank podcast. To think of any law.

Dead. That gives the government the power to make a decision I know what you're gonna ask. About a man's body. No! No!

Is there any law? No. Really? No. Child support.

Yeah. So she can't go and do, she's only done like what? She did a 60-minute interview, and then she went on. It's a sex podcast. And This chick brought her on to talk to her, and she was like, you know, kind of that kind of stuff.

And of course, they talked about abortions because heaven forbid you be a woman and you do a podcast and you be on the left. I mean, that's all you talk about: sex, sex, vaginas, abortions, baby killing, blah, blah, blah, being a hoe. That's it. That's it. I'm there's no lie.

And She I mean, she couldn't even answer why. I think, what, Audio Sunbite 5? Is this? Because she was asked, well, why did you do this podcast that didn't even touch on any serious issue? All you talked about was sex and abortion.

Why didn't you? Why didn't you like talk about anything serious? This was her. Again, if you want to try to wade through this answer, boy Audio Sun by Taf 5. I'm curious, like you don't do too many long form interviews.

What made you want to do Caller Daddy today?

Well, I think you and your listeners have really got this. Thing right, which is one of the best ways to communicate with people is to be real. What? You know, and to talk about the things that people really care about. What I love about what you do is that your voice in your show is really about your listeners.

And I think especially now, this is a moment in the country and in life where people really want to know they're seen and heard and that they're part of a community. This is so stiff. They're not out there alone. This is so embarrassing to me. Also, what is with that obstetrician set?

Like, it looks like you're about to go in the corner and throw your legs in stirrups. Is it just to like reinforce that whole like, hey, you're at the gyno? Is that like the whole schtick of it? It looks like a giant gyno set. Am I wrong?

I'm not wrong. With all the Amazon accoutrements. I mean, I can like sit here and be like, that's all Amazon wish lists from some chick named Becky out in Utah, and it looks like an obstetrician's office. That's what it looks like. That's what the whole set looks like.

It's a giant Maxi pad commercial. That's it. With wings. That's like supposed to be like the it in podcasting and chicks. And then it's call her daddy.

Jesus, how about shut up? How about that as a podcast name? I'd be great with it. What? I'm not wrong.

You know, I'm not wrong. Can we? Can I? Stop with the blonde wood. Hate it.

Hate. It does though. You don't go into those offices, King, 'cause you're a dude. Sure. I mean, when you go into the man's office, it's like going in a mechanic shop.

I don't know, I'm a chicken. I don't go there. I'm going to men's spaces. It's quite different than the mechanic, but that did look like just a general doctor's office feel, like a waiting room sort of doctor's office thing. I don't know what that was about.

Yeah, it looked like there's going to be like some spa music playing and then somebody's got a diffuser in the corner. Right? One of those oil oil. Yeah, essential oil diffusers. There's probably like a bowl of crystals out there.

Paulo Samuel. I mean, it m it makes me I'm allergic to that. Those are the interviews that she does. That's what she does. I I don't know.

And then you have this. You have Jen Saki saying, well, they're going to start taking more risks, Waltz Harris. Which one was this? I had this highlighted and I just let it go. She said that they're going to start taking, yeah, audio somebody 25.

A big shift is coming. They're going to start taking more risks. Like, what risks? Listen. We've already seen them announce this, which I think is a great thing.

Vice President Harris has a number of interviews she's doing over the next couple of weeks. Tim Walls, who I think is a huge asset who hasn't been tapped into nearly enough over the last month, is going to be out there a great deal. And you're right. I mean, the thing is, at this point, when everything matters, you have to take risks. And people may make mistakes.

It's worth it. Put them out there and have them doing a bunch of stuff. But we've already seen them announce their plans to do exactly that.

So, what. I'm curious, like, are they gonna go and What? What are they doing, Kane? The the risk is probably they're planning an actual sit-down interview. That isn't edited.

That's live. That would be risky. But they've been going so well for them. It'd be so risky. The sit downs.

Been going so well. We got a lot more on the way. We got Florida man coming up. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man.

I read this story because it's insane. The headline is from the CBS affiliate in Martin County, Florida. It said: From strip club to loan. to arson, from stroke club home to arson attempt. how a $100 debt ignited into your tragedy.

So it talks about this Uber driver who and deputies who stopped a deadly arson attempt, but the reason they were able to stop it. Is because the guy, the Florida man that the Uber driver picked up, said he's on his way. He's going to go burn down his friend's trailer and he's going to be using some gasoline that he has because his friend has not paid back a $100 loan. He gave him to go to a strip club and have a night out. And then, so the Uber driver was able to signal to authorities and they arrested this guy.

This is a crazy story.

So they picked the guy up and the Carlos Flores, he was livid. 33-year-old. He was livid because he gave his friend, he said, $100 to go to the strip club. Why would you do that? And then his friend never paid it back.

His friend insisted that he did, but Flora said it didn't happen.

So he literally hired an Uber driver to drive him to his friend's house where he was going to burn down his friend's trailer. And I guess just get in the Uber and go back. Like, how is that gonna work? I don't know.

The driver was like understandably alarmed. And so he discreetly alerted the deputies. And he, yeah, so they had Martin County sheriffs. I mean, then they smelled the gas on it. Like they smelled that he had accelerant on him.

So he also had a knife. And so I guess he was going to stab his friend. He was, he, he got out. And the Uber driver, they were like, I guess, you know, act normally. And the deputies apprehended Flores, but Flores was able to pour out some gasoline around the house, and he was going to light it.

That's crazy.

So I honestly could not be an Uber driver. 'Cause I think it's harder if you're a chick. But also you gotta be in a vehicle with weirdos sometimes. Right? Like, I appreciate the drivers that go above and beyond, and they make it nice, you know, and they got like water.

I mean, I always love giving them guys like great ratings, but I would be weird. Like, what if you get a jackwagon who's like bringing guests to his friend's trailer or Barney's house down? Like, what if you got to give that guy a ride? And you, and you got to commit. Like, you don't even know he's crazy until the journey has begun, right?

You know, drivers can give you ratings too. What kind of rating do you think that guy got? I bet he can't ever take Uber again. Yeah, I bet he can't.

So this man was at a campsite. Got to talk about this guy. Yeah, if you would imagine what people who have meth at a campsite would look like, yeah, that's about right. A Florida man was arrested on a drug charge after methamphetamine was found at his campsite near Holmes Creek boat ramp. 41-year-old Michael Ryan Forbes is charged with possession of meth.

He was also going to manufacture, sell, or deliver a $2,500 bond. They said that the sheriff's deputies were summoned to Holmes Creek boat because of suspicious activity. And of course, they found people with backpacks loaded up with meth and glass pipes and all kinds of stuff. And they busted like a whole bunch of people.

So I guess they were there, man, one of the guys came. Tell me that you see the guy with the long hair who literally looks like he was hired. He's like a cat. He looks like if a sloth became a person. And went to jail for meth.

It would be this guy. 48-year-old. He's 48. This guy. Oh, no, this is.

Is this the 52-year-old or the 48-year-old? I think it is the 48. I mean he looks I can't tell 41, right? Dude. Yeah.

That guy, that one is getting ready to show you. It's a if a sloth became a human. That looks like a fake hair. Anyway, they were all arrested because they were going to distribute this meth from this boat ramp. Stick with us, third hour on the way.

Welcome back to the program top of our third hour, ladies and gentlemen. Always good to be with you, get you set up for the week, talk about polling. We've been watching. Hurricane Milton. The names are fascinating to me.

Hurricane Milton. is the next one. Can it's a cat five barreling towards Florida? And uh looks it's nerve-wracking. I hope people are going to be careful.

And Pay attention if you've got an EVAC.

So we're going to be watching all of it.

So again, welcome back to the program, Channel 347, DirecTV, X, Rumble, all that good stuff.

So It's uh It developed off of like Mexico, off of the Yucatan Peninsula, and like north of that. And then they've issued mandatory evacuations. People are scrambling. We've got a lot of listeners in the area. Juan's showing you.

That the projection, well, it's not a projection anymore, that's where it's going, and they're also saying it's anywhere from like. in some areas 9 to 12 storm surge and some 20 foot storm surge. Milton, they said, has the potential, Hurricane Milton, according to AccuWeather's chief meteorologist, to become one of Florida's most damaging and costliest hurricanes. Looking at Tampa, Venice, Fort Myers, Naples, Marco Island. And they're looking at a storm surge of 10 to 15 feet just north of Tampa through Fort Myers.

And they said that should an intense Milton track just north of Tampa, They're looking at those 20-foot storm surges. That's catastrophic. They haven't seen that in modern history in Tampa Bay.

Now, Tampa International Airport is closed as evacuations have begun. They're suspending all commercial and cargo operations beginning at 9 a.m. ahead of the hurricane. They don't know when it's going to reopen.

So They got storm shelters open, the whole nine yards.

So we're just kind of keeping an eye on all of this stuff. as uh this is ongoing and hoping everyone stays safe. and listens, especially if you're in an EVAC area. to make sure that you Make sure you listen and evac if need be.

So while this has been happening. In Tampa Bay, Uh two I wanted to pull this up because they were talking about, I was reading a piece on the infrastructure. uh why they said Tampa Bay was particularly vulnerable. They were saying that it's kind of the region, and it's a susceptible place for flooding. 700 miles of shoreline, 3 million residents.

Usually, it's in an economy that's dependent upon winter tourism. And the uh the because of that and a lot of the development But It'll be, gosh, just prayers for everybody to stay safe that are in Tampa Bay. I wanted to, now we're following this. We also have the year. observance of October 7th, a year, a year ago.

Hundred hostages. many of them Americans, many as at least seven, eight Americans. haven't really heard a lot about them from our Government anymore, right, Kane? No. And we got kind of some word salad.

I'm going to pull this up from Congress. Kamala Harris about this. She, Audio Soundbite 4. She wouldn't actually talk about Netanyahu as an ally before October. This is a weird, this is just weird from her.

Listen. Do we have uh um a real close Ally in Prime Minister of Netanyahu. I think With all due respect, the better question is: do we have an important alliance between The American people and the Israeli people? And the answer to that question is yes. Just say what I mean, you can't say if he's an ally.

One day before I mean this so this was an interview Phil Whitaker was the guy who did it, and I thought he actually did a good job. And she couldn't say, I mean, it's the day before October 7th, and she can't say whether or not. That's He's an ally. It's just. Her Uh interview with sixty minutes was a disaster.

It was a disaster. She cannot think off the cuff. She cannot. She cannot. And Democrats just want you to get over it.

This was weird too. I wanted to touch on Audio Sound by 31.

So even though it's Joy Behart and I don't really think that she's influential, I think what she's saying here is something that I have heard reiterated from a lot of Democrats. going into this it's like an excuse To cover the inadequacies of Kamala Harris, it's an excuse to cover how Democrats upended their own primary and kind of did a well, not kind of, they did a bait and switch. But listen to what Joy Behar is. She's like talking to Republicans here. Audio somebody 31.

I would say to those Republicans out there who are sitting on the fence: just do it this one time. Do it this one time. Vote for the Democrat to save the country. Listen to Liz Chandey. When everything goes back to normal, then become a Republican again, like Alyssa will become and probably.

So, what they're playing to here is something that I've heard and seen repeated often on the right. There are people on the right who think that, well, you know, we've got to save conservatism, so we might have to take one for the team this time. And that talk has filtered over to Democrats. And that's what she's playing to here. As a way to benefit, she acts like, well, you know what?

Just do it this one time, and then you can go back to being. a Republican. and there are some like Liz Cheney who are taking her seriously. who take that seriously, who believe in that. Which is stupid.

Liz Cheney of all people. Remember all the stuff that they said about our dad? Democrats are not happy with no matter what you sacrifice to them. They were calling different Republican officials war criminals. My gosh, they said Paul Ryan was trying to kill your grandparents.

They, I remember, being part of the Tea Party, and they were castigating us as being domestic terrorists. I mean, they've never been happy with anything. These are the same Democrats that have been persecuting good people throughout the press for years before Trump ever saw. national light and political prominence nationally. And so they act like, well, this one time, and then you can go back.

You can never go back. That's not acceptable. A sacrifice once made is a sacrifice that cannot ever be retrieved. You can't know takesies backseas. But that's what they're talking at.

Oh, you gotta save the country in what way? You don't save it by obliterating it. You don't save it by ruining it. But this is their their playing to that. Oh, just listen, Republican voters.

Do it just this one time. And then you can go back. A lot of these people, and this is the issue I have. Because I rarely Even 80% like A candidate, 80%. But this is how you gotta look at this stuff.

You have one side in this country that wants to emotionally blackmail you. into thinking that you exercising your vote. As You would exercise movement. of a piece across a chessboard. is tantamount to a personal endorsement.

of everything personal about that particular piece or that particular politician. And that's a tactic. that they will apply to you but not themselves. Because they don't want you to strategize. They want to try to hoist you by your own petard, so to speak.

They want to make you think, well, you're not being consistent if you're voting for someone who is flawed. You're not being consistent if you're voting for someone who has issues, even if you're just voting to advance your issues. Don't ever conflate the two. This is why, and I don't mean To have it sound as a pejorative, but these politicians are tools. On a chessboard.

That's all they are. You're not being best friends with them. You're advancing your interests. I am selfishly involved in this. For me, I want to be left the hell alone and not have to give all my money to the government.

What candidate, what tool best Best advances that. On the board. in the election. tool does. What candidate does?

That's how you got to look at this. But they want to emotionally blackmail you into thinking, no, you're taking on everything about this candidate.

Well, that's not true. They never have. They never have. But that's You're I see these people like, you know, the Nepo baby on the View and these others. You're either voting to advance your issue or you're voting against your issue.

It really is as simple as that. I mean if you If you can't, and a lot of these people, they're just angry.

Some of these Republicans are just mad because they feel. Like, um, it there was a there was a, I think that there are two different establishments within the Republican Party, and then you have conservatives. And I think that there's a fight between two parts of the establishment right now, and one of them's mad that they got waylaid. And so they're you know, this is like a revenge tour for them. But if you're abandoning your issues, it's one thing to say.

with some of these people like Cheney, that you're just going to leave the top of your ballot blank, but you're going to vote Republican for the rest. It's one thing to say that, and it's one thing then to go out and say, well, I'm voting for Kamala Harris. Because then you're endorsing all of the issues that you have made a career insane that you oppose.

So then it becomes not about issues for you, not about principle. This is personal for you. And you're putting the personal before. The principal which is one of the most unpatriotic things I can think of. It's unpatriotic.

to be so personally blinded that you kneecap yourself principally. Because you're trying to get even. And that's what these people are doing. Again, it's one thing if for those who are just so prevailed upon, if you know, it's one thing to leave it blank. But it's one thing entirely to vote for a damn Democrat.

To vote for Harris. You're voting for those issues. You're voting to advance the other side. That's your own goal. I don't get that.

Because then you're not you've never been a conservative. You've never been a Republican. If you're willing to sell out your principles, then did you ever have any in the first place? I don't know.

Kane notes that people are moved by emotion more so than values. Oh, I think so too. I agree. I agree. But it's still frustrating all the same.

Can I tell you about the um lesbian captain? New Zealand lost its I can't do a New Zealand accent lost its first Navy vessel since World War II. Uh the Maniwani A one hundred million dollar survey and dive vessel. Commissioned in twenty eighteen, Randograph burst into flames and sank off the coast of Samoa.

Now, wait a minute. What? Yeah, yeah.

So. This is a very weird story.

So this the lady who who who did it. Or they'll let the The lady captain. She was a British person who moved to New Zealand and then uh I guess took commission of this vessel. And The And this was in 2012.

So the the accusation is that she was a DEI hire. People weren't mad because she was a woman. People weren't even mad because she was a lesbian. They were mad. And the accusations are that she was advanced faster up the chain of command because she was the lesbian.

And not because she was particularly skilled. It was the first ship in her naval first ship command in her naval career. And the accusation is that she just did not have The Record to do it. I mean, the crew was rescued overnight, 75 crew and passengers on board, safely rescued. But it crashed into a reef, caught fire within fifty minutes and sank.

So now there's like an oil spill that they say are going to hurt the whole fishing ecosystem because people eat the fish that they fish on that are gonna that are it's gonna hurt it there. It's a hundred million dollar vessel and it's you know off the Samoan coast. And No one knows there there hasn't been a report yet as to why it lost power. But they do a lot. They she posts a ton of photos.

of her opposing Uh talking about exclusion. Like one she posted: a great team requires effort and recognition. No room for exclusion, no room for bullying, pink shirt. Days or something like that, I don't know, and she's like, All diversity is our strength, and all this stuff. There's like more on that.

on her socials than like anything else. It's like activist stuff.

So Nope. I mean, it's New Zealand, so thankfully it wasn't us, but still. I mean, there's jokes about women drivers here, but this is like some poop booty juj. level. Yeah, she clearly, as K notes, excluded her training.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss, it's time for Dana's Quick Five. A new social media campaign was launched last week with the hope of drawing people back to. Oakland. It's called Oakland is Better in Person. And they're trying to highlight the city's culture and businesses, and they hope to use social media to do it.

Yeah, good luck with that. That's, yeah, somebody's paying for this, and that's gonna be a waste of money. I don't know.

So, this, uh, let's see, this was oh, KSTK. A group flying a swastika flag held a demonstration over St. Louis area interstate. Yeah, I'm sure it's not feds. Sure.

Why is this even a thing? Why is this even a headline? You've got... I mean, and they all had, they were all wrapped up and covered up. They look like Fed boys.

Not even gonna, I'm not even gonna do it. But people that were, you know, we're friends with a lot of people still in St. Louis. They were posting as though this was real and it's such a devastating thing and a signal how far we've fallen in society. It's like, people, do you not get this?

Yeah. Do you not get it? The most popular Halloween candy? They had it by state. And I think it's what Sour Patch Kids in Texas and in Missouri, it's almond joy.

Which one of you people? Who is he? Who are you in? What is wrong with you people? Florida is Reese's, so at least they did it right.

Sour Patch Kids, also in Alaska. New Mexico's hot tamales, Hershey's kisses, so basic.

Now in Utah. It's candy corn. By the way. Candy corn. Is a phenomenal Supreme Halloween candy, and I'm tired of pretending that it's not.

I don't see how that's. How it is. Um, it completely is, and you can stack all the little kernels together and make a corn copy. It's like somebody chipped off a little candle. And said, hey, here you go, here's some candy.

It's delicious. Let's see.

Sour patch kids are like the big winner almost everywhere. Ohio is blow pops. Yeah, what's wrong? What are you guys what Indiana is starburst? Virginia's Butterfinger.

Connecticut also has almond joy. I don't know what's wrong with them. I don't I don't get some of these like boring like the too many has like Skittles. Louisiana's lemon heads. It's kind of interesting.

Arkansas's Butterfinger. Uh yeah, that's It's just odd. Blow pops, it's probably the most boring one. is blow pops. I don't get it.

And last but not least, the Supreme Court is going to weigh New Mexico's 10 billion lawsuit. $10 billion lawsuit against firearm manufacturers. We're going to talk about this later this week. The bulk of the suit was tossed out on other legal grounds, but they're trying to talk. The weird thing is, they're trying to talk about trafficking, which I'm like, how are you going to bring that up without talking about Fast and Furious?

Yeah. We got a lot more on the way, including. The latest with Hurricane Milton, the election, culture, all kinds of stuff. Stick with us. Not able to catch the full Dana show?

Follow Dana's Absurd Truth podcast and get news and laughs delivered in short, easy-to-digest episodes. Ideal for your busy lifestyle on Apple or wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. The bottom of this third hour.

You guys remember this is, I was reading this from the Wall Street Journal. Guys remember the uh trade? That we made. For Brittany Griner. Yeah.

And the trade was to get her back for Viktor Anato Anatolyevich. Uh a major Russian arms dealer that they call Merchant of Death. And he was released by the Biden administration in 22 in exchange for Greiner, who was arrested because she brought cannabis oil into the country, knew it was illegal, and did it anyway.

Well, apparently he's already arranged for it 'cause he's been released, you know. He's already arranged for another uh shipment of arms to the Houthis. It's the deal's in process. And so people are trying to community note, which is getting destroyed. On X, because they're like, well, he hasn't made the deal.

No, he literally, it's in progress. It's going to be made. They've already transferred funds. It's according to Wall Street Journal. Are you stupid?

Stop playing semantics.

So he's all ready. Already made a weapons deal with the Houthis in Yemen, an Iranian-backed terror group. What's the FYI? I feel about that. Yeah.

There's a reason why the Russians wanted him. I mean, one of the most baffling trades ever, but you know, there's a reason why.

So he's already back at it. Interesting. Keep that in mind. See stuff like that. Any interviews?

from a Harris Wall set. I think our that's why we're seeing a bump. to the bottom For Harrison polling, although don't get super excited yet. I just don't.

My I look at it like this. If she if Harris and Walls are already uh now careening downward into a valley. There is not gonna Be Uh yeah. There's no way that they can recover it. There's I mean Kane, what do you have to have if you're a Democrat?

and you're watching And I'm not I don't want people to get excited and think fait accompli, we're done.

Okay. I don't know what anything that You do to m to get back that momentum. No. Four weeks out. No.

There's nothing you can do. I mean, short of. Short of an ama like a uh an in stop it. A crazy October surprise that they would have, but they've already threw everything out. They don't have anything new, so.

No, I don't. Oh, she's trying really hard. She's uh I mean we're less than a month now. And her campaign schedule is. is actually kind of light, which is weird.

She's not really doing any serious interviews. And he the sixty minutes one was like as serious as I think you're gonna see. She's um Yeah, uh it's just it's just odd They said that they weren't wanted. They said at this time last month that they were going to ramp up her campaigning in October, but now. I mean, it's the seventh.

I think Democrats are just so used to the media doing the campaigning for them. That they feel like all they have to do is go out and do these. you know, upper echelon shows. And show face on T V, and that's worked for them and has worked for them for quite a while. And don't you think that the media would probably be a little bit more in?

If she was in the lead. 'Cause they're tied. Which is insane. They're not even tied. I don't even believe that.

I believe that they are. I think that they are. I think it's so close that it's a virtual tie. I'm not convinced. I'm not convinced.

I am. And I caution people, they need to think that way if you want to win. You got to. Yeah, no, no, no. I'm not saying I'm unconvinced to the point where I'm not going to vote.

I'm just saying. But here's why: Joe Biden, going into 2020. If you if you weed out some of the garbage, it was like maybe four points over. Maybe four and a half. over Trump.

In 2020, at this time last year, and he barely. Harris is not near that. See what I'm saying? Oh yeah. She's Already losing any momentum she got with the running mate and the DNC and all that stuff.

She's not making herself available in the press, so It's How do you regain that momentum? I was looking at, I don't like to go off the betting averages, but I do think that people bet money. who bet money are informed about what they're betting on. And they like to get up-to-date information. I do think that.

I think that's accurate, right, Kane? I'm not being dumb on that. Yeah, but also if I'm betting and I know that. One side has the ability to rig it. For themselves, that I would lean my bet towards that side.

And that's just how it would go. It doesn't mean that I have well, no, I'm saying betting is giving is taking away her momentum. Betting odds are taking away her momentum. I see her, she's still up in betting, she's like 51-52. See, and this is why it's like so close, and it's so going to go back and forth.

I'm convinced that the polls are designed to create. This whole narrative. And then it's some are, yes. When it comes down to it, people are like, oh, what are the polls are saying? I'll just vote the way the polls are saying.

I think they've enjoyed that system for so long that this is how they do it. There's no way that Kamala Harris, who had zero, how many? Zero votes. To become where she is right now, zero. And in 2020, she didn't even get any delegates.

So I don't believe any of this stuff. And I think it's all designed to get people to think a certain way as we get this close. I don't believe any of these polls. I mean, potentially. But I think that some polls are absolutely designed for that and some are not.

Some I think are genuine measures. And the problem is knowing which is which. And then, when you conflate all of it together, it makes the whole lot untrustworthy. And it makes people skeptical of everything. And you just have to learn what to pay attention to and what not, how to identify push polls where they're answering.

You and just saying, Do you agree with what you know? Yeah, I look at the sample data and everything, everyone that has a largest sample data, I tend to give those a little more weight. If it's registered over likely, you know, all right, that type of stuff. But I think, you know, some of the things factoring into this are the hurricane. You're seeing a marked difference.

And disaster response. And I got to tell you, I really need the RNC to hit this more. Because they're not. DeSantis has been all over it.

Some of these other governors have been all over it. The RNC needs to hit it more. The RNC needs to be like, look at what Warry Cooper's doing, and then look at DeSantis. Here's the difference between red and blue governance. This is how you you've got to apply this to November.

That needs to be the messaging going forward. I kind of wonder if they're a little scared to do it. Because Democrats are all about exploiting everything, no matter how tragic. They totally will, they don't care. But I kind of wonder if Republicans are a little scared.

Stop being scared to do it, just do it. Do the thing. Do it. Because You I mean, this and then this, you know, the situation at the border, you don't you also don't want to overplay your hand either, but you know, the situation at the border. Another big You know, that's that's To talk about these issues and to contrast, I mean, there's no better contrast of.

approaches in governance than this. Like for instance, let me pull this up. This was wild. I um saw That So like for instance, the DeSantis administration of Florida, just one example, blue and red governance. They had a Pinellas landfill that was closed.

The governor had to had to uh Reacquaint everyone with his 24-7 debris removal ability ahead of Milton because people were trying to figure out how. You know, we we gotta be able to get this stuff off the road. We gotta be able to, you know, to get debris out of the way. And they said that the uh you know some of these some of these landfills They were locked ahead of the hurricane and DeSantis officials forcibly busted open the gates. To make sure they could be accessed.

So that They could this so this stuff could be removed so they could get debris out of the way. Me white. I mean I think it's crazy that these places are just going to lock up anyway. I mean, you good heavens.

So this um You it I I mean, I'm happy that they I don't know if that was a female order. or what that was. But He was like, no, we're just going to rip this stuff down. What would Cooper have done? In fact, those are probably all still locked up.

I mean, it's just an example of governance and who's allowing like they're like some of these states in North Carolina, they got the feds running roughshod over everybody who's trying to offer some assistance and do drops and all this stuff. I mean, I was watching I have friends who are there involved in this right now. And They have the ability and the resource. I mean, all I can do is send money. But they have the ability and resources to take that money, know exactly what supplies and equipment are needed, and get in there.

And get into these really impassable or impossible to get to areas. And get in there and make sure that people who are getting resources can get it. And you get the feds there that are, well, no, this is our jurisdiction. We're handling this for you. You've heard all those stories.

Those aren't false stories. The people that are there, I know so many of these people. They don't, they're not, a lot of them aren't partisans. I mean, they're politically minded. You know, they're like-minded, but they're not zealots.

They're not partisans. They're not going to go off and like drumbeat over everything. These are just neighbors helping neighbors, and they also understand that in these communities, especially the people that have the resources or equipment to do it, they know immediately what's needed before the government's ever going to.

So I got FEMA coming down a week later and then acting like, Oh, we're helping It's shaking bacon. I helped. Telling ya. But all of this stuff, by the way, is playing into the General Tenor, um The general sentiment For How people are absorbing this and then applying it to their perspective on. November.

And I think that that's part of the reason why. She's struggling. Another friend with me shared uh a listener shared uh Over at Polymarket Trump was up on the betting odds.

Now, on some of the polls, some of the polls that are legit, I think it shows it really close. And You're just, you're not going to be again, these are all prognosticators, and these are all just general. guesses.

Some are well educated guesses.

Some are well You know, the methodologies, they're well-reasoned guesses, but they're guesses all the same. And anything can happen. And People are emotional and we are in a stressful period and you got hurricanes and everything else. Anything had happened for before November.

So my whole point in telling you this is I think it's good to give you a general lay of the land, but I don't think that you should go off it like it's Bible. I don't think that it should be a plan for how you engage in your area. You just need to make sure people are going out to vote. You know, everybody's got a responsibility to do that. Make sure everybody can earn, like, if they're college kids or if they're military or whatever, that they're getting their ballots and they're able to do whatever they got to do where they can do it.

Because you're always you have fraud in every election, but you got to get out. The biggest problem that Republicans have is turnout. And so you need to not just you gotta you can't just beat margin of error you gotta beat margin of fraud And in all the places, in every election where Republicans turn out overwhelmingly, like 2016. 2016, you saw people turning out they ain't never even turned out before. And look what happens.

In 2020 it was down. It was depressed. In 2018 it was down. That is a fact. 'Cause I saw the hard data.

And I was a little shocked. But that's the way it is. Republicans, their own worst tendencies to stay home, and we've got to get over that.

Now The uh Few other things. I'm going to make sure that we're wrapping up hurricane. Oh, please, everybody, stay safe with Milton, because that thing's going to make landfall Wednesday. Don't forget your animals. Don't forget 'em.

I had uh one for gonna have it. There's a couple things that I'm thinking about save here. Audio soundbite. This is uh twenty-eight. This is Hillary Clinton talking about free speech.

Listen to this. You're absolutely right. This should be at the top of every legislative political agenda. There should be a lot of things done. We should be, in my view, repealing something called Section 230, which gave platforms on the internet immunity because they were thought to be just pass-throughs, that they shouldn't be judged for the content that is posted.

But we now know that that was an overly simple view: that if the platforms, whether it's Facebook or Twitter X or Instagram or TikTok, whatever they are, if they don't moderate and monitor the content, we lose total control. And it's not just the social and psychological effects, it's real harm. This is nuts.

So, this is Hillary Clinton talking about Section 230 of the Communications Act. And that That's just That's no, she wants to abuse she wants to rewrite that. And make it to be a tool of government censorship. Because the only time that their nonsense is ever checked is through digital. Everything else is so controlled.

It's through it's through digital means. Subscribe to the Dana Show podcast because who says you can't make fun of people while staying informed on your own personal time?

Can you explain that?

So I think what happened is I went to EPCO. You can go around the whole world and I had a couple in the Germany section and I thought I went to China. Anyway, I'm a knucklehead. But I'm sure this guy has some things he'd want to, you know, back out of as well. Oh, man.

They actually made. Fun of him on SNL. I don't even watch SNL anymore because it just wasn't funny anymore, and I'm like, mm. And a devotee. That was like the show that you would watch as a kid.

Saturday nights and then I don't know, now But um They actually they mocked him. It was Yeah, that's funny. Can't believe we're saying that about SNL, but isn't that weird though, that we'd have to say that? Yeah, I know. Like, wow, the show that's about being funny was funny.

It's so crazy. Because just being a political jackwagon is not funny. It's not entertaining. It's. Like anybody can be that.

Just like be like make people people laugh. It's really hard to make people laugh right now. 'Cause it's so serious. Everything is so serious. I don't know.

I just um I'm telling you. That that was That was actually spot on. I thought it was an Epcot. I mean, he could have.

Well, he was in Nebraska, not really at. He wasn't in Minnesota. He was in Nebraska, wasn't he? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

He wasn't even in Minnesota. He was in Nebraska.
