Starting point is 00:00:00 It is an honor, of course, to be with you this week as we celebrate Indigenous People's Day, as we speak truth about our nation's history. Since 1934, every October, the United States has recognized the voyage of the European explorers who first landed on the shores of the Americas. But that is not the whole story. That has never been. the whole story. Those explorers ushered in a wave of devastation for tribal nations, perpetrating violence, stealing land, and spreading disease. We must not shy away from this shameful past,
Starting point is 00:00:49 and we must shed light on it and do everything we can to address the impact of the past on native communities today. I don't have enough coffee for this. I'm going to be, I got to be honest. This is so stupid. First off, this is, this xenophobic jingo and stick nonsense that you just heard from Kamala Harris. Originally it was from 2021, but it's, I mean, it's still the same message that they have today.
Starting point is 00:01:20 It's her same message. And it's, you know, it's Christopher Columbus Day. It's the one day of the year where the left actually is honest about their hatred of immigrants. It's the one day of the year where the left is they embrace their xenophobia and their jingoism. Oh my gosh, they're xenophobic bastards. That's exactly what they are. For real. Listen to them. They're like those evil immigrants. They brought disease and nastiness and disease. I mean, germ theory didn't, you know, come into existence until what, like the 19th century. But ogre, I'm sure that's like what they were doing. First off, there's a difference between colonizing and
Starting point is 00:01:58 conquering. And I feel like we need to have a history lesson because we live in the stupidest period ever. And every single day I wake up and I look at headlines and I think, oh my gosh, these people are sober and they vote and they like drive cars and stuff like all near us. It's so weird. Welcome to the show. Happy Monday. It's Stana Lash with you here to break down all the nonsense as we get started with your week and get you set up. But it's, I mean, that's what it is. The left is xenophobic. and they hate immigrants. And that's exactly what you're seeing here. This was what she'd said on 2020 about Columbus Day.
Starting point is 00:02:35 And this is what I keep hearing from all of these. Because isn't that, let me look at my calendar. What is it called again? Hold up. No, don't tell me. Indigenous whatever day. I say this as someone who, unlike Elizabeth Warren, can document my indigenous ancestry.
Starting point is 00:02:50 Yeah, it's indigenous people's day. Okay. We're going to get into some of this stuff. because it's so it's like a rewriting of history and they're actually they're the ones who are who are actually anti-immigrant when you heard that what if I mean how anti-immigrant does that sound right yeah from our borders are she's here like hate non-immigrant she's like they they ushered in a wave of death you know what because tribal nations were innocent and knew no evil until that dirty Italian brought it over.
Starting point is 00:03:27 I mean, it's really anti-Italian sentiment as part of what it is too. But this idea that these tribes came, they were so peaceful. They were so peaceful. They were so peaceful
Starting point is 00:03:42 and loving. And just they lived in harmony. And they traded joy. And there was no disease. No disease. everything was so lovely until those evil Europeans came over
Starting point is 00:04:00 and they brought with them evil and devastation and destruction and all of this. That's what we hear every, what is it? Every Columbus Day, that's what we hear. Every Columbus Day. That's exactly what we hear. And I just don't know why the left doesn't see how what they're doing is actually
Starting point is 00:04:22 racist and xenophobic and all this other stuff. But that's the thing of it. We're always told every single year that you're evil and that all these peaceful, came these peaceful brown people. There was no evil at all in America. That's ignorant. There was no evil. That's ignorant. It's all peace. And then Christopher Columbus brought a boatload of evil with him and all these men with their Jesus. And they came in And they did all this stuff. Stop that peaceful baby sacrifice, everything else. I, which, which is, this is what's also interesting.
Starting point is 00:05:03 So no one ever talks about the colonizing or conquering because the left doesn't see a difference. No one ever talks about the Mongol Empire. You see what they did? Pretty brutal. Well, we'll talk about that here in a moment. No one ever talks about, I mean, everybody knows they might be giants, right? Istanbul was Constantinople. See, I mean, everybody knows that.
Starting point is 00:05:27 But why? Because Istanbul was colonized. Constantinople was colonized, and they turned it into Istanbul. Every single place where they put a mosque on a church is colonization. I mean, the Dome of the Rock, colonization. I mean, it is. It's absolute colonization. I mean, you can get mad and be like, that's ignorant. I'm offended.
Starting point is 00:05:48 I don't give a rat's ass. So what? So what? We're here you go cry. That's colonization. No one ever talks about any of that. No one talks about the Arab conquering of Africa and the spread of Islam through Africa. No one ever talks about that.
Starting point is 00:06:05 If you want to have a discussion about colonization, that's ignorant. You can't talk about that. You can only talk about Christopher Columbus. So we hear every Columbus Day. Every Columbus Day, right? Do you ever learn about that in school? I was colonizing Arabs that. In Africa?
Starting point is 00:06:24 Did you ever hear about it? I never did, not in school. Wow. Yeah. Oh, what about Turkey? How dare you? Turkey was never colonized. Oh, no, it wasn't, really?
Starting point is 00:06:33 Is that what you're going to call it? It was just conquered. Oh, now there's a difference to you. You dumbasses. Now there's a difference. I love people who like don't know history. It's so great. So great.
Starting point is 00:06:46 What about the Christians in Bosnia during the Ottoman reign? No one wants to talk about that. No one wants to talk about how the majority of them, they were forced to convert to Islam, if you want to have a discussion about colonization. The girls, the daughters were raped. The boys were taken in and they were used as cannon fodder. And then during the Turkish occupation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, they would tattoo their kids so that they could prevent them from being kidnapped. They had them tattooed. I mean, that's like, it was like a thing.
Starting point is 00:07:24 They didn't want them to be taken into being a concubine with the caliphate, the girls. And they don't want the boys to be, you know, shout out of camp. I mean, that's what they did. Nobody wants to talk about that. No one wants to have this conversation about colonization then. Heavens, no. Or what about how, in what, the 13th century in the Ottoman Empire, you had, what, Lebanon, Syria, Greece, Egypt, Bulgaria, Romania, Macedonia,
Starting point is 00:07:52 all of these countries that were colonized by the Ottoman Turks. Oh my gosh, you can't say those words, Dana. Colonization is only when white Europeans do it. That's a fact. Is it now? Is it now? I mean, we
Starting point is 00:08:11 I'm just, Turkey, by the way, didn't gain independence from the Ottoman Empire until 1923. You know, colonization and all. If we want to have a couple of conversation about colonization. And I remember when I mentioned the Mongols, too, my gosh, 13th century. Genghis Con or as John Kerry would say, Genghis Khan. Remember when he was, that old video of him testifying before the Senate? I mean, they literally wiped cities off
Starting point is 00:08:36 maps. They destroyed entire cities. If they couldn't colonize them, you were destroyed. They were totally destroyed. Oh, don't say colonization. I mean, let's talk nothing about, let's just go here to the United States of America and talk about the different indigenous nation tribes. There was never any war between tribes. Well, then why were their warriors? Why were they braves? Why was there like literally a history of different wars between different nations in the United States with indigenous nations? This is what white Democrats think. White Democrats don't know anything about brown history. Not a damn thing. Everything to them is colonization. They think that they're the only people. that are capable of evil. In a way, it's like a stupid racism. I don't know if it's meant as
Starting point is 00:09:26 kindness or if they're just that dumb because they think, well, no one knows evil except us. I think it's a self-hatred. I think that it's just a self-loathing and a self-hatred. And that's why they believe the things that they believe and say the stupid stuff that they say. Because the idea that there was never any conflict or the idea that actual other African-Nableness sold Africans into slavery and then it was later exploited by other people and and African nations were only none too happy to trade their enemies in for slaves they they conveniently omit all of this and then when you bring it up they try to act like you're justifying any any badness done no one's doing that we're trying to say be be honest this has existed in every aspect of humanity
Starting point is 00:10:14 no matter the creed no matter the religion no matter the race there is not a group of people that are just, you know, is innocent and pure driven snow. It's never happened. It's never existed. It's just the way of things. It's the way of the world. It's the way of mankind. And this just gets dumber and dumber every Columbus day.
Starting point is 00:10:41 Do you know in 1891? I don't know how many of you realize this. Do you remember the Italian lynchings that almost got a war declared on us by Italy? I mean, if you want to talk about Columbus Day and all that stuff, which I still think some of it's anti-Italian sentiment, if I'm being honest. There were 11 Italian Americans who were lynched. They were brutally murdered. It was considered one of the largest lynchings in American history. Tens of thousands of people.
Starting point is 00:11:16 This was in New Orleans. They had, oh, I mean, 11 men, they killed 11 men. It was one of the largest lynchings in U.S. history, March 14th, 1891. There was a popular police chief named David Hennessy, and he was shot and killed while he was walking home from work. And when a witness asked him, reportedly who did it, he gave them a slur for Italians. Now, at that time, in New Orleans, there were more Italian immigrants in New Orleans than there were in any other southern state. you had almost half a million, many of them were Sicilians who moved in to Norlands. And that's why the French quarter for a very long time was known as Little Palermo.
Starting point is 00:12:04 And they worked hard and they were religious and they loved their family. They loved Jesus. And there were a lot of people, a lot of Italians who have been living there even before the Louisiana purchase and before all of this happened. But it really exploded. And Sicilians and Italians were viewed very. oddly by Americans. They hated the Irish and they hated the Italians. And because they were olive skin, they had slurs for their names for them. And everybody who was still, and everybody was Italian was suspected of being in the mafia. So there was some, there was a, while all this was
Starting point is 00:12:38 happening, while this David Hennessy guy was shot, there was a fight between two Italian families in New Orleans at the same time. So a lot of people were just saying, oh, well, it had to do with that. It was probably had to do with like a mob boss that had to do with something like that. And then all of the discontent and weirdness that people had already felt that pre-existed this against Italian Americans in Orleans at the time, it just kind of all boiled over. And they, people went on a witch hunt. I mean, they're, they literally, they had like an editorial in their paper where they were telling people to rise up and like protect their, their civilization, go after the Italians. And so vigilante justice that, I mean, that's what happened. There was a group of dudes that,
Starting point is 00:13:18 I mean, they started arresting. They started taking. these people that they just presumed were connected into custody. And long story short, there was a whip mob. A mob whipped into a frenzy outside of the jail. And they were able to break into the jail. And they lynched 11 Italian Americans. And it got so bad that like Italy was mad. And we had to and we had to make some concessions.
Starting point is 00:13:43 We had to actually smooth things over literally with the kingdom of Italy. With the nation of Italy, which had just been a new nation. because it got so bad it hurt our diplomatic relationship. That's how bad it was. 1891. And I mean, it was, I mean, it was pretty wild. People seemed to forget that. And it was one of the reasons why there were a lot of Christopher Columbus statues put in predominantly Italian neighborhoods in the United States.
Starting point is 00:14:13 And so here we are all these years later. And we have Democrats again today using this day as a way to not just demonstrate. integrate the contributions of immigrants, but to continue and perpetuate slurs against immigrants with these xenophobic rants. That's how they look at this. That's their true sentiment about immigrants. Our partners over at Hillsdale College, an educational institution that was founded to offer this type of education needed to preserve civil and religious liberties.

So apparently Kamala Harris is going to sit down for an interview with Brett Bear. It's supposed to air on Wednesday of this week per the New York Times. So that should be kind of interesting. That would be in his 5 p.m. Central, 6 p.m. Eastern hour. So we will see how that goes.
Starting point is 00:16:08 I just don't know if all of this press Blitz is actually going to do anything. I really don't, I just don't see it doing anything. Do you guys? I don't see this doing anything either. We're going to talk more about this because it's just, just getting worse and worse with Tim Walls. We've got to talk about that Tim Walls ad. Oh, you know what I'm talking about. Also, let's see here. Scientists, this is interesting. They say that, this is like Inception, a potential breakthrough as they claim two people communicated in their
Starting point is 00:16:32 dreams in a world first. They said it's two-way communication between individuals during lucid dreaming, which sounds like it's out of inception, right? It was a NeuroTech company. They said they achieved the first two-way communication between two individuals during lucid dreaming. It's the REM space company, so it's a California startup. I don't know if I'd want to talk to people in my dreams. You know, I really don't think so. Sleep to get away from people. Yeah, I sleep to get away from you.
Starting point is 00:16:58 I just don't know. Mystery drones swarmed a U.S. military base for 17 days. The Pentagon is stumped. They have no idea what it could be. They said that they flew on hindered over sensitive national security sites, and they have no idea how to stop them. I'm sure that it possibly couldn't have been
Starting point is 00:17:14 China. The same. Let's see. Let's see. this, oh, America's New Millionaire Class Plumbers and HVAC entrepreneurs. You knew that. You knew they were. We got a lot more on the way. Stick with us, that waltzad.

Starting point is 00:19:30 He was supposed to pretend, he was pretending that he was pheasant hunting. And he has been really keen to show everybody that he's like a dude's dude, right? We all know he's not, but let's, you know, move on. And he decided it was a, what is it, opening day of, pheasant season. He didn't bag a single bird, apparently. Opening day, pheasant hunting season. He has the media there with him, right? I just think when you're inviting the media to go shoot with you, you need to learn how to load your stuff, is all I'm saying. I need you to watch this video because here he is in the field. Basically, he just stood there in
Starting point is 00:20:09 orange and, you know, Bart stomped around the field a little bit with hunters, and that was the extent of it. But watch him fumble here. While he's trying to load his shotgun, watch this video. This is insane. It never fits quite right. It's not quite right. It's not quite right. I didn't get a back.
Starting point is 00:20:28 Governor, what kind of gun is it? This is a Beretta A400. Nice Italian. I brought it when I was shooting a lot of a trap because it has a... Did he try to pump it? It's not a pump action. Am I just see things? I love how he goes.
Starting point is 00:20:47 it's got this special thing so it doesn't hurt your shoulder. I mean a shoulder pad, you dumbass. Oh my gosh. I don't know. I don't know how. This was really hard to watch. And he's sitting here acting like, I mean, he can't load the damn thing. And he was bragging about how much he shoots.
Starting point is 00:21:08 That's what gets me. Like he's, he started this bragging about how much he shoots and how much he hunts. And I would be really uneasy. if I was in the field with this dude and he had, you know, this shotgun, a modern shotgun, and he couldn't load the damn thing. I would feel really nervous around him.
Starting point is 00:21:30 I would not feel comfortable. Like, probably more nervous than I would feel if I was with Dick Cheney. Just saying. I mean, it is really bad. So when Barack Obama last week was like, can Trump even change a tire? Well, how can Tim Walls even load a shotgun?
Starting point is 00:21:48 Come on. I mean, I'm looking at this. And I'm looking at screenshots right now of it. He looked like he just, he tries to act. This is why I don't like him pretending to be a responsible gun owner because he makes he makes responsible gun owners look bad. Look at what he was doing with that. Did he get a tampon stuck in the chamber?
Starting point is 00:22:12 Like, what happened? Like, I don't understand. You're supposed to load shells. You don't put tampons in it. Come on. I don't know. know. I was just, he's just a, he's pandering, obviously. But it looks so bad. He looked like he was entirely unfamiliar with his barretta. And he kept saying all, and he told reporters that it wasn't
Starting point is 00:22:38 new. He told them that he got it a long time ago. And he was bragging about how much he shoots. And this is, this, this is what he used is to shoot trap. This is what, that's what he was saying to reporters. Because there's other. That was just the, that's the most important part of the video. And there's other parts that's like hard to hear. But he was bragging about like how much he shoots. And then he gets his, then he gets his gun and he's like fumbling with it.
Starting point is 00:22:59 Does that look like a dude who shoot? You go ahead, run it again if you can, Juan. Does it look like a guy who shoots often? We actually have a different angle. It shows his hands more in this particular angle. Oh, boy. Oh, of course we do. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:23:10 Let's put it up right now. See him load the tampons in. Go ahead and put it up. It's just so bad. It's so bad. And he's fumbling. It's like, I don't know how worried this.
Starting point is 00:23:18 I do atho trip all the time. He's just so awkward looking. And that's when he's point. He goes, I love what he says there. He's like, yeah, I got this thing here. It makes it so it doesn't hurt your shoulder. It's literally what he said. He says it's got a special thing so it doesn't hurt your shoulder.
Starting point is 00:23:37 So when you get old, it doesn't hurt your shoulder as much. I am, oh my gosh, I'm dead. I can't. I can't. It looks bad. And so you have Kamala Harris trying to tell everybody that she owns a Glock. And then she's telling everybody, yeah, shoot those people who come up into your house. But then she conveniently omits that she actually supported a handgun ban and supported banning all of Glock in California.
Starting point is 00:24:09 And that as the head of, what is it, the gun control group with the White House, the Office for Gun Violence Prevention, that she is being accused by the Republicans in house, James Comer, who subpoenaed her, of colluding with the ATF in the city of Chicago against Glock because Chicago is suing Glock. It's a stupid lawsuit. They're the people who also sued Kia and Hyundai because they were saying, how dare you make your cars to where they can get stolen? It's like, Kia's like, we're not making our cars. They get stolen. What's the matter with you? It's like one of those suits. Like, they're mad at Glock. Like, how dare you make something that someone could use illegally? Well, that's not the purpose of the product, but it's a nonsense suit. But she's being accused of colluding with the ATF in the city of Chicago against Glock in that.
Starting point is 00:24:56 So you have her doing this, him doing that. Do you think anybody, because everybody's making a play for the hunters, there's a lot of unregistered voters that are hunters. Is any of this making anybody, any of y'all feel easy? Look, Republicans did not help themselves when they deprioritized guns on their platform. Believe me, I got a beef. Yeah, I got a big beef because that's a major issue with me. I don't know. I just think when you've literally had your life threatened and you've relied on firearms to defend yourself, it becomes a big issue to you. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:25:26 So, or a bigger issue than it ever even was to begin with with you. And so I get that, but I don't see Republicans out there fumbling like this. They're not talking about banning stuff. They're not talking about going into people's houses. They wouldn't do that. They wouldn't pass it because there would be a little
Starting point is 00:25:43 riot on the right. But, I mean, they're just This just looks so dumb. I mean, I'm looking at this and it looks so bad and he didn't get any birds, you know, because he shoots all the time. Some of my friends are not judging him for not bagging a bird on opening day. I am because he bragged about it nonstop. If you listen to him, talk to the press, he acts like he's, you know, he acts like he's John Wick. He acts like he taught Taryn Butler everything he knows.
Starting point is 00:26:11 That's what he acts like, doesn't he? And then you see him out there doing this. Oh my gosh. No, I'm going to do it. So they've been trying to reach out to gun owners. That's what all of this was about. This whole stunt was about them reaching out to gun owners and trying to, you know, seem legit. And it, you know, backfired, obviously, big time.
Starting point is 00:26:31 But this absolute dumbass with his, I mean, I can't stop looking at how awkward he looks. I mean, he just doesn't know what he's doing. I'm like watching the video. He just doesn't know what he's doing. I don't know. It looks so bad. It is embarrassing. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:26:50 If that would have been a Republican, they would have never lived it down. Right? You guys know this. They never ever lived it down. And remember, the first joint thing that he did with Kamala Harris was to promote a ban on the modern sporting rifles, semi-automatic rifles that are used in the least crimes. I don't know. I mean, I just can't.
Starting point is 00:27:14 He's got a barretta. How much is that barretta? That's not a cheap. Not a cheap shotgun. Yeah, it's a nice Italian gun. You know, Columbus Day, it's a nice Italian gun. But he, I'm just wondering the legal status of his firearm. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:27:33 Just curious. I mean, don't you have to limit your shells? I got to look at, I'll have to look at Minnesota's law on that. I'm just curious, don't you have to limit it? Because it looked like he loaded five in. Did he load five in? It sounded like he loaded four in. If we go back to that first video, we heard it sounds like he's just shoving four shells in there.
Starting point is 00:27:53 Don't, because don't, in some places, don't you got to use a plug to reduce, like to, to, to thwart your own capacity? So did he do that? Governor, what kind of gun is it? He's struggling so bad. He just did it for the chaps. Let's be real. They told him he'd be wearing chaps and so he showed up. Maybe you just fumbled with two, and I thought it sounded like four.
Starting point is 00:28:17 All right. I got the price on the gun. What's the price on the gun? Should we guess? Take guesses. I thought, oh, I know it's going to be expensive. It's going to be a couple of that. I was going to say $4,800, but that may be too much.
Starting point is 00:28:27 That's too high. It's like $5,600. $2,200. $2,200. What am I thinking of? I don't have a nice bird gun. I don't really, I don't really, I've never bird hunt before. Well, I mean, I've never successfully bird hunt.
Starting point is 00:28:41 I've never successfully bird hunting. I feel like that. Let me redefine it. I'm not successfully. I've not been successful at it. So I'm like, I'm not going to go and I haven't gotten a nice bird gun. When I've gone, I've used my father-in-law's bird gun before. But he's got a really nice one.
Starting point is 00:28:56 My husband has a real nice one. My oldest son has a nice one. I'm going to have to get, but I like barretta. I'd probably get burrata. Benelli makes really good stuff too. Anyway, long story short, he didn't fire any of it. I'm just curious about this because someone asked me if he was, operating legally. And I'm like, that's actually a really good question. That's something,
Starting point is 00:29:17 I'm going to come back to that because there's going to be a piece going up at substack. I'm a I'll look back on that. But has that convinced anybody? Has his, has that stunt that he just did convinced anybody? No. I mean, you can sit here and you can, you know, pretend all day long and be like, look, we're, look at it, we're just, we're doing, we're loading the shock on. Look at how I'm such a hunter. Her. But I don't think that that's, I don't think that that's doing anything for anybody. I don't. I don't think that that's like, I don't think that you're undercutting any overtures to any kind of firearm community by telling everyone that you're going to ban half of what they own. And then you're actually entertaining the idea of mandatory confiscation that you call
Starting point is 00:30:04 a buyback. I mean, it just doesn't work. It doesn't work. We got more on the way. He just, like I said, he did it for the chaps. They said, hey, Tim, can wear chaps, wink, wink, you know, I'm going to show them wear chaps, and you can put load tampons in here in the chamber. You thought he was hunting peasants. Yeah, he thought it was peasant hunting, that's right, not pheasant hunting. He was confused, you know, as one would be when your name is Tim Walz. It's our friends over at Keltec,

Like Sands Through the Hourglass, so are the days of the United States. Hey, Kamala H.Q. I'm Gwen Wals, and I have been an educator for a really long time, and I'm here with an assignment for you today. It's due on November 5th. Now I'm going to put my teacher classes on, because I'm going to be an educator class. because this is really serious, like a final, and there's no late work. I need you to take yourself and three friends to the ballot box and make your voice heard. You have to vote. I'm going to repeat that again.
Starting point is 00:32:25 You and three of your friends have to make your voices heard by voting. I'm tired of her, like, lecturing us. She's weird and creepy. And if I was casting, like, a horror movie teacher, like, you know how they always make these horror movies about nuns, but they never make them up by teachers? I would cast her. She would be, like, the demonic entity that's, like, faking as a teacher. eating up all the kids in the classroom,
Starting point is 00:32:45 honestly, because she's creepy. I get major creepo vibes and not just because it's like, it's, it's, um, Halloween season, spooky season. I think she just sounds like she's always talking to kids. Like, she doesn't know how to talk to adults. No, I don't think that she does.
Starting point is 00:33:02 I don't think that she does at all. It's just weird. Like, turn that page. I was just like, stop talking. I don't know. Yeah. Kane, we were all talking about. but we think there's a ghost in the studio.
Starting point is 00:33:15 Not really, but maybe. Spooky season. Kane said that one of the curtains in the studio was on the ground this morning. Yep. And then one of their lids just popped off. Yep. Fell on the desk. I don't know if I believe in ghosts.
Starting point is 00:33:30 My kids insist that the house that we lived in in St. Louis was super haunted. They insisted that it was haunted. They said that they saw stuff. They heard stuff. We had a spooky attic. I literally, my office was on the third floor attic. It was one of those old-timey houses. I didn't notice anything.
Starting point is 00:33:45 I don't think I got the shining, but I didn't notice anything. I'm not really creeped out. I'm not easily creeped out. I'll put it that way, because I'm such a skeptic and such a cynic. It's really hard.
Starting point is 00:33:58 I mean, I don't know. I, Kane, one time at the Lent Mansion, if you guys aren't familiar with this, it's an old brewery mansion in St. Louis. I've got the experience at the Limp. I walked around by myself in the dark. What? Are you insane?
Starting point is 00:34:09 I stayed the night there. I walked around by myself at night. in the Lent Mansion, in the dark. Nothing happened. Didn't see nothing. Now, that's me because I am a total skeptic and cynic and I just, you know, or I mean and they don't want to mess with me. Yeah, my experience at the Limp Mansion.
Starting point is 00:34:25 So we were doing a live broadcast for Halloween at the Lent Mansion. You know how crazy that is. Oh, it's nuts. You know that little elevator that goes down underground into that storage, brewery storage area? Well, we had two listeners with me. We went down there. Did you see any ghosts?
Starting point is 00:34:41 Oh, well, we heard and saw things. move and can't explain it, but we didn't necessarily see a ghost or an apparition or anything like that. I just never saw anything like that. That was the creepiest I've ever felt. You know how you get that the hair stands up on your arm, but this was like back of neck and shoulder. Like, I'm like more creeped out watching Gwen Walls than I was walking around by myself at night in the Lint Mansion. That's fair. And I was downstairs even. I was like, I'm going to go to all places where they mark themselves. Yeah, you can do that if you stay there. It was like a bed and breakfast. It's totally spooky. It's haunted. There's no question in my mind the Limp Mansion's haunted. It feels heavy
Starting point is 00:35:18 when you walk in there, but that's the only thing I noticed. I don't know. But they said that the room up on the third floor is the most haunted. It's the hauntedest. And somebody was staying up there so I couldn't go in. But yeah, I don't know. I never, I didn't, nothing ever happen. Like I said, Gwen Walsh terrifies me more. If I was, if I had to pick between being by myself at night in the basement of the Limp Mansion or being in a room during broad daylight with Gwen Wals, I'd pick the Lent Mansion. because she's weird, dude. She's weird.
Starting point is 00:35:45 I think she, I think she blinks vertically. Think of that. It's weird, man. Lizard people. She totally is, dude. It's weird. That's why she,
Starting point is 00:35:56 if you were an alien who was talking to people and you were trying to be a person and be convincing, that's what you would act like. Like, you would act like, you would pick, what's the most, like,
Starting point is 00:36:07 unassuming trustworth? A teacher. See, you, We're rolling your eyes at me a second ago, but now some of you out there are like, well, she does make some sense. The girl does make some sense here. You know I'm right.
Starting point is 00:36:20 I don't think I would choose, though. I don't know. That's between a fear that I know and a fear that I don't know. And the Lent Mansion is the fear that I don't know. I like variety, so I'd pick what I don't know. Really? Yeah. You're a better man than I.
Starting point is 00:36:36 I would, though. but she is so every time she talks i watch her eyes i'm like she can't blink for her i'm watching i'm watching her face and seeing what she does she gives me the weirdest vibes and and when she did that interview where she was talking about how she like the smell of things burning coming through her window didn't she like disappear into the past for a moment like she was like reminiscing joyfully And her face got this like eerie calm. And she was thinking, you could tell she was remembering it fondly. That's weird, you guys.
Starting point is 00:37:20 We have a second hour on the way. You don't want to miss as we roll forward. More of the forward same. Stick with us. I agree with Annie Oakley who said, quote, I would like to see every woman know how to handle guns as naturally as they know how to handle babies. Now, I myself regularly conceal carry 9mm. Now that said, not every woman is like me.
Starting point is 00:37:41 has had the hours of training that I've had or feels comfortable around firearms due to years of use, or maybe they're by a gun-free zone. I'd like to change that what I can while encouraging self-defense at the same time. So this is where Berna comes in. It's kind of like a starter weapon. It's, they make a non-firearm firearm firearm. I like the idea of incredible force sending chemical irritants towards a threat as an additional option for women. And the Berna S-D model shoots chemical irritant projectiles, 68 caliber rounds that can deter threat. in their tracks up to 50 feet away. I mean, it is hard. Easy target acquisition zero recoil. Burna is legal in all 50 states. There's no background checks, no permits required. It's shipped
Starting point is 00:38:22 directly to your door. Gun free isn't applicable to Burnah. It's great for wherever guns are banned. Visit burn.com slash Dana for 10% off. That's b.rrna.com slash Dana. Welcome to the radio program. It's professional lady radio. My name is Dana Lash, I'm in a really weird mood. And it's top of our second hour. And we were talking about how Gwen Walls terrified us because there's new video of her being all spooky.
Starting point is 00:38:51 She's just a spooky person, right? She's weird. I bet that she's got veneers on and or she's got fake teeth in when she takes them out of like all filed into points. She's a legit scary dude. Lady, person, whatever. Person.
Starting point is 00:39:07 Yeah, she's an alien. Anyway, welcome back to the show. Dana Lash here. We're all weirded out. we're all like trying to freak each other out on on break it's funny not ditty style by the way uh so happy monday and uh we've been talking about the tim wall's ad or interview it's an ad let's be real he who went onto a field and he's wearing i think they just said tim you can wear some chaps if you show up and he's like i love chaps he shows up and uh doesn't know how to load his beretta that he was bragging
Starting point is 00:39:37 about like i use this all the time to shoot i took you know and and was was was was was bragging about how great of a shot he is and how he shoots with this particular gun all the time. So yeah, gun owners, vote for me. Forget about me, want to take all your stuff. Just vote for me. Watch me to load my shotgun fumbles. And he didn't bag a single bird. It's just weird. And I don't know. I just, it's, I don't, there, everything I'm reading, and I'm pulling this up too, Democrats are freaking out right now because Kamala is not doing well. Now, I am not going to sit here. One thing that I am not going to do is go, oh, guys, I feel like there's a red wave coming.
Starting point is 00:40:25 No, because remember, that was what everyone was saying in 2022. And I'm like, it's not happening. And they said it in 2020. But it's not, it didn't happen. and there were polls indicating that it wasn't going to happen at the time. It's really close. And I also feel like the moment you tell that, not feel I know, the moment you tell it to Republicans, something clicks in their head.
Starting point is 00:40:49 And they go, oh, I guess I can relax now. It's all in the bag. And then they just don't do anything. They stop. It's so frustrating. So Kamala Harris can still win. But she's on the struggle bus a little bit, which is a different place for her to be because normally she's under the tires.
Starting point is 00:41:06 So Democrats, they released an ad where I actually had to go back and check because I saw this over the weekend on X. It was an ad where they were slamming third party candidates and they were going after people like Jill Stein. I was like, hello, 2016. Is this 2016 here? No, they were, I think that they're so worried about that because it's, that tells you A, how close it is. And B, they're so worried about how close it is that they're trying to compensate for that with some of the stuff and by picking off third party stuff. I also think that they're hoping that female voters overperform, which I don't think they will. That's one of the
Starting point is 00:41:59 reasons why they're hitting that so much to an annoying degree, to where every single thing is about how you need to vote for Kamala Harris because she's like a woman or something and I'm done with it. How many times have you seen this or heard this talking point from their campaign where it's, well, you need to, you need to vote for Kamala Harris because she's a woman and, you know, and that's, I mean, that's what they say. I think we had some audio that was something to this effect because they keep saying that it's a gender gap and that's one of the reasons why she's not doing very well
Starting point is 00:42:41 and they try to use that as an excuse for how poorly she performed in the primary but they're also suggesting it's a reason why she's struggling in the polls and that doesn't have anything to do with it because people aren't opposed to her for her being a woman it's for her being just completely incompetent and under-accomplished. Audio sound like 26. This is what one of her surrogates is saying. Listen, I mean, the top line is the five-point advantage that Kamala Harris had in our last poll is gone.
Starting point is 00:43:18 What's behind that shift? Yeah, exactly. I mean, just look at them side by side and you can see it. Remember that poll we took a month ago that you see here. It was just after that first Trump Harris debate. since then we've had the VP debate. There have been some campaign activities, some interviews, some things that have changed in that time.
Starting point is 00:43:35 I think this might be the biggest for Harris. We just asked the basic image perception people have. Is it positive or negative of these candidates? The Trump number has always been somewhere in this territory. In fact, this is a little bit high for him, believe it or not, 43% positive. But look at Harris, 43 positive, 49 negative. The significance, we polled this a month ago.
Starting point is 00:43:54 She was 48% positive and 45 negative. if she was above water as they said. And you know what? It doesn't help. I don't know if we can play this, S&L, because... We can do the audio, I think? Oh, hold it. We get... Even if it's news, we have to fight with YouTube over fair use. They won't let you play anything.
Starting point is 00:44:14 So it's so ridiculous. And they, and I... It's something that we got to deal... YouTube just... I don't have enough middle fingers for it. But they made fun of her over the weekend, so that's all I can basically say or they'll strike our video. So I don't know.
Starting point is 00:44:28 they just, they're having a problem. They're having a big problem right now. And then you have Jim Clyburn, audio son by 30. He is trying to reprise what he did back in 2016, because you know Joe Biden would not have been president of the United States without James Clyburn. Because James Clyburn delivered South Carolina for him.
Starting point is 00:44:50 Now listen to Clyburn. They're trying to shame black Americans into voting for Cromwell Harris. Listen. The problem is, there are 95 years, years between number eight and number nine. And the policies of the 95 years that kept us out of government, out of this economy, it's called Jim Crow. Oh, good heavens. If you look at Project 2025, it will be Jim Crow 2.0. First off, that's not a try. I don't even want to address it. It's so stupid. It's not even a Trump thing. It was like a policy thing. It was like a policy thing.
Starting point is 00:45:28 over at the Heritage Foundation. And I'm trying to figure out why people are upset with it. They act like it's like, I don't know. Yeah, it's just, it's, it's literally like policy discussion. Trump had nothing to do with it. I mean, literally Trump had nothing to do with it.
Starting point is 00:45:44 Nor did anybody in his campaign. That's like saying that a third party entity came out with a suggestion, some policy suggestions. And, oh, well, Kamala Harris wrote him. This is her thing. I mean, it's stupid. this is what the left, this is where they overshoot, you know.
Starting point is 00:46:01 If there's things that you want to criticize Trump on, then make sure that they're legitimate things that the dude did. But don't make up this stupid stuff and then try to race bait and race hustle people into falling in line because that's just lame and it just shows you don't got anything else. There's no enthusiasm for Kamala Harris. There's none. I don't even know Democrats that are excited for her. I have never seen, and I do have some friends who are Democrats because I'm not a
Starting point is 00:46:26 a partisan Borg. And there are still some people who are decent enough to realize friendships thicker. But I've never seen them so depressed, ever. So uninspired, so depressed, ever. Like they, I mean, we're talking about people who are usually real excited about putting those Democrat signs in their lawns and like making, you know, big, they are so depressed. They were not super excited before the, the Harris was switched in. And then when Harris was switched in, they won't admit it.
Starting point is 00:47:06 But for them, it was like admission already of a first defeat. And they knew that they were going to be operating from a negative position and trying to claw back into the positive. And, I mean, it's, it's just wild. It's wild. I mean, if we want to play the SNL thing, because they even hit her. I just think it's a big thing. Audio Sunby 31. I think it's a big, because it's so bad that it forced SNL into mocking her.
Starting point is 00:47:39 And SNL didn't do this because they thought it was funny and they were creative and they came up with it. They were forced into doing it just in order to stay with the cultural Zydigas. Listen. All right, let's play the game. Okay, 100 people surveyed top six answers on the board. Name something that you keep. your glove compartment. Oh, D.P. Harris. Steve, look, I was raised in a middle-class family, all right? Oh, here we go. Okay, my mother raised my sister to me, all right? She worked hard and
Starting point is 00:48:10 saved up. Yeah, uh-huh. And we had a second mother, too. Okay. Did that mother have a glove compartment? A small business owner named Ms. Shelton. Okay, we got that. Something that you keep in your glove compartment. Oh, a Glock, Steve. A big old Glock. Yeah, I don't. You mean like the kind she wanted a ban in California? I mean, and literally made it like one of the unauthorized. Like you have to have it on a roster of what California considers safe guns. I'm not even kidding.
Starting point is 00:48:40 It's just interesting. It's just interesting. I'm just saying. But they're having a lot of trouble right now. They're having a lot of problems. And in looking at this, I got a got some. her negatives are up there's no momentum and you can see her on i mean it doesn't even matter let me just pull up doesn't even matter what aggregate you're looking at honestly uh she can't keep
Starting point is 00:49:06 momentum even CNN is noticing that she's struggling with momentum and i love it how they say trump's extreme vision for america hikes pressure on harris that's as close as what they can get i know That's as close as they can get, CNN can get to saying this. But there is, it's, everybody's noting that she's in trouble. There has been a shift and people can feel it. They can tell it.
Starting point is 00:49:38 They know it. They said an ABC was reporting that her internals show that she is in a lot of trouble. Pennsylvania is tough, her right now. Wisconsin and Michigan are tough with her. I got to tell you, I think people are going to look back, although I was saying this from the moment it was announced. Tim Walz was her running mate. I think that was the fatal blow. I get gut feelings about stuff. I'm not speculative and I don't believe in, you know, like that kind of prognostications. I don't. But I'm just telling, I got a
Starting point is 00:50:22 gut feeling. And I believe that people are going to look back and be like the Tim Walls thing, that was the fatal thing for her, her campaign. If she would have picked Josh Shapiro, Pennsylvania would not be in play the way it is for Democrats right now. She would be in a very good position if she had picked Josh Shapiro. I'm actually glad that she didn't. And honestly, it was one of the things I was the most nervous about after everything switched up to her because I knew the media was going to go all in for her. But I also knew that they, that she had to pick a really strong, she had to pick a good VP. But what she ended up doing, she didn't go with Shapiro because that wasn't the, she, she, she, she, she didn't go with Shapiro because that wasn't the, the, the, uh, the future of the party is as her and her left. wing Marxist faction view it.
Starting point is 00:51:25 They went with Walsh because he's a Marxist. They went for ideology over strategy. In a way, Trump did too, but Vance is a better strategist and just better in front of the press than Walses. So it's like a non-issue at this point. But Shapiro would have definitely put that state in play. And I mean, she would not mean, it's tough for her right now. And when you consider how everything's looking at coming down to North Carolina and Pennsylvania,
Starting point is 00:51:50 Oh my gosh. And then Trump released his internals for his swing state polling, and it showed him ahead in almost every single swing state. Small margins, I would say that he's virtually tied in every single swing state because nothing's beyond the margin of error. However, he is up against Harris, ahead of Harris. And those were his internals that he released. They had to feel very confident about their position to release that.
Starting point is 00:52:18 I'm just telling you it's fast. I mean, she's going to get more, she's going to get more desperate and they don't have anything else.

Starting point is 00:53:44 I watched this. And I struggled. What is like? It's like USBA or USA? USBC, whatever, the little thingy that you, the little one singular prong thing that you got to put in a stupid outlet that's in the wall. And I struggled with it because you put it in there and it's like, nope, you flip it. It goes, nope. And you do it a couple more times. And then it's like, okay, I'll accept your original offering. I felt so stupid watching this video because I struggled with that outlet yesterday morning. And then I literally watched a big giant rocket land on a steel needle in Boca, Chica, Texas. This is crazy. It looks like a, like a supernatural thing. That's just wild. So, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:54:23 Elon Musk is saving the world.

So there's that one for you. We got a lot more on the way.

Keep your finger on the pulse with a 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. Kamala Harris is set to sit down with Brett Bear in an interview that is going to air on Wednesday. I really hope that Brett Bear asks her, first and foremost, what Jen of Glock do you own? And secondly,
Starting point is 00:56:46 why do you own a firearm that you push to ban in California that you had that you had declared unsafe in California and it's the same manufacturer that you are accused of fighting against and why are you stonewalling the house the house's subpoena into whether or not the office you head, which is the Office of Gun Violence Prevention, whether or not they've been colluding, along with the ATF and the city of Chicago, against Glock and that lawsuit. I mean, I would love for that question to be asked. If anyone would ask it, it would be prepare. I mean, you could even, you could prepare her to answer that question. She's still not going to answer it well. But the reason I think that that's, it's a big issue, and it's a bigger, it's a big issue, not just
Starting point is 00:57:48 regarding firearms, but there's a couple of things at play here. I, and gosh, please stop saying Glock's don't have safeties. Glocks have safeties. Stop it. They have a three-tiered safety system, and part of that is within the trigger. So don't say that because then you just sound like you don't know what you're talking about with guns. Please, I see so many like-minded people saying, well, Glock's don't have safety.
Starting point is 00:58:14 Stop saying that they do. my whole point though in bringing in him focusing on that it has less to do with firearms and more also about the double standard that she lives i mean she she would have had to have a special exemption i think because certain glocks i mean they they grandfathered some of the the old gen zen and uh but they're considered unsafe i mean that's literally california has like this whole list of you know unsafe firearms it's so dumb I'm just curious as to, you know, how that works for her. Did she get special exemption to get it?
Starting point is 00:58:56 Because apparently she got it in 2005, so that would have been past the grandfathering in, or 2005 to 2006, I think is what I read. And that's, that's, and I hope he kind of pinpointed that as well, because when she got it will determine whether or not she got something that had been grandfathered in or if she had actually, had to have a special exemption to get something that normal people can't get in California. I got a lot of questions. So, I just, you know, a lot of questions. And then you have Bill Clinton who just threw a wrench and everything, unintentionally. Can we play this audio of him?
Starting point is 00:59:32 This is, I mean, wow, watch this. You had a case in Georgia not very long ago, didn't you? They made an ad about a young woman who'd been killed by an immigrant. Yeah, well, if they'd all been properly vetted, that probably wouldn't have happened. But if they all properly vetted, and that doesn't happen, and America is not having enough babies to keep our populations up. So we need immigrants that have been vetted to do work. There wouldn't be a problem. Well, he sounds like a guy who had a membership to a whites-only golf club back in the 90s, doesn't he?
Starting point is 01:00:10 because he did he said that they weren't properly vetted if the Biden-Harris administration had properly vetted it quote if they'd all been properly vetted that wouldn't have happened he was wearing that horrible
Starting point is 01:00:31 Harry Wals hat but who is he campaigning for there I am utterly confused What the heck did we just hear? You had a case in Georgia. They made an ad about it. A woman who had been killed by a immigrant.
Starting point is 01:00:51 If they had been properly vetted. There's two levels of confusion for me. One, like, wow, that's not a Democrat talking point at all. No, it's not. And two, he's concerned about fewer babies yet pro-abortion. I'm so confused. Yeah, that was weird to hear him because you're not. You're aborting all of them.
Starting point is 01:01:16 gyser. That's why. I don't know. I've got like a million I've got a million questions on this. I don't know who he's campaigning for. That needs to be an ad though. That the Trump campaign,
Starting point is 01:01:32 they need like a quick response team to just like turn these cuts around like that. That's what they need. Trump is plus three in the latest Rasmussen poll. in Pennsylvania. Immigration is a big issue there too. Immigration and jobs. Plus three. Margin of error is 3.5. So still. But that's interesting. Very interesting. So I'm curious. I mean, it's super close. I think that they're going to close the gap as we get closer because we're, what, three weeks out now? Golly. And she is
Starting point is 01:02:19 really struggling. I was looking at Wisconsin. Same thing. I mean, she's on the struggle bus, man. This is not getting any better. They looked at, it was over a thousand,
Starting point is 01:02:35 27 people. It was conducted on October 13th. I don't have any of the cross tabs or anything. It's close. But I think now you can see why she's agreed to do a Fox interview. Now it kind of makes some sense now, doesn't it? She's doing a Fox interview. Makes some sense. Kind of see it here. Interesting,
Starting point is 01:02:58 right? Hmm. She needs help. She needs help. And I don't think it's going to get any easier for either. Not at all. We got, I wanted to also get into, let me pull it. Oh boy. This, this is all word salad from her. This is so bad. Audio sound bite nine. What is this? I'm looking at what it says. I don't even... This all happened over the weekend.
Starting point is 01:03:33 Yeah, I know. What is this sentence? Go ahead and play this. Because what we see is so hard to see that we lose faith or a vision of those things we cannot see but must know. What we see is so hard to see that we lose faith or a vision of those things we cannot see but must know. okay so that was really what she said oh wow who's going to decide to vote for her based on that that sounds great 332 is pretty ridiculous
Starting point is 01:04:10 oh uh i'm looking at all of this and it all looks bad i mean none of this is i gosh i don't even know in wisconsin we got pennsylvania she's struggling wisconsin she's struggling Cook political report shifted the Senate race there to toss up. Now, that is also a measure of the health of Harris's campaign as well. The Tammy Baldwin is going up against Eric Hoved, and that's the, he's been endorsed by Trump. And Cook shifted that on Friday to toss up.
Starting point is 01:04:53 Now, Democrats think that she's still going to hold on. to her seat, but it is going to be really, really close. And in fact, I mean, I mean, usually a lot of the races in that state, and a couple of them, but in Wisconsin, I think are determined by, you know, a few thousand votes. And her lead, Baldwin's lead, she's fallen seven points from August to today. and she only she barely has a two point lead it was one point eight so and it is the of all the senate races in these battleground states that one is the closest and it it would not be that way if you had a very healthy strong contender at the top of the ticket and some of these down-ballot races, the health of them are, well, how strong these candidates are, it's determined by the health of the top of the ticket.
Starting point is 01:05:56 And what this is showing you is that Harris has no coattails, no coat tails, and she cannot articulate any kind of clear anything. Like Audio Sounded By 33, this is like the stuff that she says when she goes out and does these campaigns. events. None of this, this is so dumb. Listen. You know, there's this whole, I talked with somebody once who said, you know, if you just look at where the, the stars are in the sky, don't look them as just random things. If you just look them as points, look at the constellation, what does it show you? And the hell is Rowland. So you just outlined it, Roland. What does it show you? Wow. Wow. What? What?
Starting point is 01:06:48 if you look at the book. So she's not connect. This is what that's what she sounds like when she's trying to connect with voters and it doesn't sound very nice. It's she sounds ridiculous. But this is like the stuff that even when she does these events and these interviews, that's the most that they get out of her. And now you can kind of tell why it is that she's,
Starting point is 01:07:05 she's not performing well. She's not doing well because she cannot connect with voters. That's, that's her trying to be empathetic. That's her trying to sound like she's talking off the cuff and just sitting down, shooting the breeze with people. and she comes off as inauthentic and nobody understands what the hell she's saying.
Starting point is 01:07:21 She cannot connect. People need to have that connection, whether it's through the screen, or that they need to hear something from you that they can connect to and they're not hearing that from her. Not at all. And then you wonder why you're struggling. Why is she struggling? I mean, Democrats, they said that they are,
Starting point is 01:07:36 they're very concerned in Wisconsin. I think she's actually hurting Baldwin in that Senate race. They're hurting. they Clyburn's out there trying to shake down black voters into voting for
Starting point is 01:07:54 Harris. It's that bad. I mean it's none of this is this is all just a, this is turning into a big nightmare for them. I don't want Republicans to get complacent though. I want there to be such a victory in November that
Starting point is 01:08:09 it is never questioned again. And I you have to overcome not just the margin of error, but the margin of fraud. So push. It's his life mission to make bad decisions.
Starting point is 01:08:30 It's time for Florida man. So do you guys remember the Florida dude who strapped his house down and apparently like the hooks went all the way into the ground and they were attached like to con- like he did it properly? He actually was able to protect his house. So
Starting point is 01:08:46 this guy Pedro Cesaris from Orlando he strapped his family's house down with these giant straps everything was anchored into the ground this is actually super impressive and apparently it was an eight feet of cement in the ground
Starting point is 01:09:05 and he used large plastic straps that they used to secure cargo containers on ships attached to ground hooks and it cost them $22,000 to place the stuff around the roof around his property to have this stuff set. By the way, if he ever sells that, isn't that like a selling point?
Starting point is 01:09:23 Like you can strap your house down to... And they said that they... The reason he did this was because their aluminum roof nearly flew off during a previous hurricane. So they got these straps. They strapped it down. It cost $22,000. And they said that they were good. There were a lot of leaves everywhere.
Starting point is 01:09:42 And there's... Apparently a lot of the stuff is affected near their house. But everything is good. they're not taking the straps off until the hurricane's over. To hurricane season's over. That's actually impressive. Juan's showing you on the simulcast. That's what it looked like.
Starting point is 01:09:56 And it worked. It actually worked. I thought it was AI at first. I did too. No, it literally, that's, he apparently they lost their roof during a previous hurricane. And he was like, I'm not doing this again.
Starting point is 01:10:09 And so he spent $22,000 getting all of those ground hooks around his property. That's actually pretty impressive. So good on that guy. Wow. Let's see. One Palm Beach Garden homeowner had a dumpster tossed onto their roof by an EF3 tornado. This is like one of the tornadoes that was going around right when the hurricane was coming in.
Starting point is 01:10:32 And yeah, it literally threw, I had some impressive, and there's a video of it. It threw an entire dumpster under the house of the roof of this one house. That's crazy. I mean, these things are, and those weigh a lot. Those things weigh a ton. This, let's see, Coast Guard rescued a dude who was clinging to a cooler in open water. Wow. So this was the day after Hurricane Milton. They were looking for a boat captain. He was wearing a red life jacket, black shirt and black pants. And they had an emergency locator beacon. And that's what the guy had. And he also had his cooler.
Starting point is 01:11:14 He weathered one night in open water with the hurricane strong winds and massive waves. He was 30 miles off of Longboat Key in the Gulf of Mexico. Juan's preparing the video. This dude literally was spent the night in open water during a hurricane with his life vest, his locator beacon, and his cooler. I have never seen anything like this in my life. Holy cow How did he not get eaten?
Starting point is 01:11:45 I don't even know. And they were like, I don't think that they thought they were going to be able to get him. But they said that the, I mean, this is the craziest thing
Starting point is 01:11:58 I've ever seen. They, they saved him. I mean, they got him out and he's like, okay, this is so wild that he was out there. I can't even believe what.
Starting point is 01:12:08 Wow. So, I mean, he had been aboard a fishing boat called the Captain Dave. Okay. We got Lieutenant Dan Captain Dave. And he was trying to bring the vessel back into port and make repairs.
Starting point is 01:12:18 But he was trying to beat the hurricane back in. As soon as it wasn't that he was like flouting, you know, preparation. He was trying to get back. He had a problem with his rudder. But man, the conditions deteriorated too rapidly and he got caught out in it. So that's wild. But he survived a full night and they got him. So I've never seen anything like that before.
Starting point is 01:12:37 Gators sting raisin snakes. Florida people, Floridians are urged to avoid the flood water. because there's stingrays in there, there's snakes in there, there's gators in there, there's a myriad of dangers lurking in the water because you are in a swamp, just FYI, it's a swamp. So they're warning people, just be careful. Just keep it on your mind, you know, don't live totally in fear, but just, you know, kind of keep it, you know, on your mind that, you know, maybe, you don't want to be out there
Starting point is 01:13:02 in that flood. I wouldn't be, because I'd be like, there's, my luck, there's like 50 gators, like right there. You'd open the door and there's like gators. Good night. We have more on the way. Our third hour is coming up. And in that third hour, we've got Bigfoot, Tim Walls, and, well, we got a lot. Those two things are unrelated, by the way.
Starting point is 01:13:22 Sick with us. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you, top of this third hour. You can listen coast to coast. You can watch the simulcast of the radio program, Channel 347 DirecTV as well. You got Rumble where the chat happens. You've got, what else are we at? X, run X. everywhere. I was looking at first of I'm a little distracted because I was looking at this story
Starting point is 01:13:47 about the space, there are the robots that, the house robots that Elon Musk is coming out with. Did you see these? I swear, this is like some I robot stuff. It's supposed to be robots that will help you around the house with your tasks. The Optimus robots. Have you seen Kane and I were like, what? They're the Tesla Optimus robots, the biggest product ever of any kind. The walking, talking optimist robots. They had like a reveal thing on Thursday and they were revealing the company's cyber car
Starting point is 01:14:17 and they're nearly six feet tall. They play rock paper scissors. These are actual things. Have you seen these? They walked out. Juan's getting ready to, he's getting the video queued up. They legit
Starting point is 01:14:36 walked out. And I am really they all walked out I feel like I'm watching a Kanye West fashion show when I look at it though they all walked out and they're helping with drinks they were making drinks at this event
Starting point is 01:14:50 they danced to techno music um did you witness some of the interactions of the bartender robots no there was one so they ordered specific drinks right but there was a human guy standing next to the guy that ordered the drink
Starting point is 01:15:05 and the human guy said to the robot hey you may want to check his idea the guy was clearly old enough, but the robot stopped what it was doing, asked for his ID, then the guy gave him a credit card, and the robot looked at it and said, wait, this isn't an ID.
Starting point is 01:15:22 Hand me your ID. He gave him the ID. He looks at the ID, then looks up at the guy, then looks back down at the ID, and looks up at the guy. And he's like, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:15:33 Like, these are really human-like interactions that they're having with these robots. How do we know that they're actually, like human. They're not humans in a robot suit. That have to be really skinny humans. Well, I mean, I don't know. I'm torn because they would be fun pets, but also no. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:15:53 I don't. I'm really torn by this. The reason that I bring this up, and I don't want to just stay, because they said the optimist bots are going to be in people's houses, they can walk steadily on uneven terrain, they can last all day on a single battery charge, they can navigate around people and pets and this is crazy. I mean...
Starting point is 01:16:14 It's the I-Robot movie. It is the I-R-I-R-I-R-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I mean, they look just like that. I don't know what I feel about this. I... Can we start them off as, like, the people that give us food samples at, like, Costco and Sam's? Like, we start off as just the robots that are like, here's some, you know, breakfast sausage from the freezer section. You can try while you're walking around shopping.
Starting point is 01:16:40 Like start something, start it off small like that. I know. I look at this because, you know, I'm looking at all this stuff and I'm looking at the robots. And then, of course, you know, we had the rocket thing. The super heavy that just landed and that was super impressive. I don't know when Musk sleeps, but I do know that Democrats, I think, hate him. I've never seen anybody do everything that they can to trip up a dude who has done more. to help people than any Democrat has.
Starting point is 01:17:20 They don't like him because he is not a Democrat. I mean, they put him in their anti-Trump ads. They put Musk in their anti-Trump ads. And I'm just, it's crazy. They can't recognize his accomplishments. Like when Joe Biden had all of these EVs, manufacturers, you know, especially he, they didn't invite Tesla. They didn't even include Tesla in anything. He's like a Tony Stark. He, I mean, he is Tony Stark. And he's hated. He's absolutely
Starting point is 01:18:03 hated by the left. I mean, I don't know. He's, he has, like, revolutionized a number of industries. And I think he also stopped the huge takeover of speech on in the digital planes that the left was undertaking. I mean, he put a stop to it. They, he didn't come out as like a conservative. They made him one because they persecuted him. Juan's showing you these robots. I am, dude, I don't know. It could beat your ass. I just feel like I don't want anything that I can't yeat. Why does it have to be that tall? Why does it have to be almost six foot tall?
Starting point is 01:18:48 Why can it be like twee? Maybe we could start a business. Like mu-dang size. Start a business that gives you the equipment to be able to eat one of these whenever necessary. Just as a response in the free market. No, I just want like a short little robot. I don't want like a big thing that can kill me.
Starting point is 01:19:08 Right? I don't want that. So our robot yeater idea is not a great one? No, I just make them shorter and eatable. Make them shorter. They don't need to be that tall. They can't do that much when they're that short. Yeah, they can.
Starting point is 01:19:21 They'd have to have... Make them half that size. Make them three feet tall. They'd have to have like go-go gadget legs or something. No, no, no, make them three feet tall. I don't need them to do all that stuff. Right? So you want to make another version smaller, like a mini-me?
Starting point is 01:19:32 Yeah, like they do that with, um... Oh my gosh. What am I thinking of? What's the thing? That makes you feel like you're exercising, but you're not. When you're standing on that thing, the segue. One of my favorite things ever. I hate cardio.
Starting point is 01:19:47 Like, I'll only lift weights. But I like to pretend sometimes that I do cardio and I'll get on my workout gear. And I have a mini segue that Chris got me from Mother's Day like years ago. It still works wonderfully. I'll get on my workout gear and I'll just stand on my segue and that's my workout. Like my cardio for that because I hate cardio. I hate cardio so bad. It's stupid.
Starting point is 01:20:05 And that my cardio is just rest between sets. But that's, and if you get in your workout gear and you're sitting in your segue, it's just like exercise. not, but it feels like it is, right? You just, they're not that expensive. People think they're exorbitantly expensive. They're not. You can get like a mini one and you get a little handle that you can just do,
Starting point is 01:20:24 see, so if you can get a little one of that, then you can get a little robot, right? I see what you mean. Yeah, like I just want like a little robot. Like not a big one. Give me a miniature one. I'll name it Tricky Woo. And that's what we'll live as. You'll name it what?
Starting point is 01:20:42 Tricky Woo. Okay. I want, I've always wanted like a little something to name that. It's like a name that I've been holding on to because it's just goofy. And I'll, the little robot will be perfect. I don't want the big one because that's weird. What if you're like sleeping tonight and you wake up and it's standing at the foot of your bed? Like, with this blank face just, you know, like gazing at you.
Starting point is 01:21:01 It's weird. I don't like that. I don't want anything bigger than me. I get one. I'm naming mine Johnny Five. Well, that sounds like the name of something that could beat you up. Tricy Woo does not sound like the name of something that can beat you. up. There's the difference. You see what I mean? See what I mean? You insult it with the name, like
Starting point is 01:21:18 right off the bat. Like, oh, that thing cannot get hurt. Did you hear what its name is? Cah Lee. Nothing named Tricy Woo is going to hurt you. But if you name it Johnny Five, that thing will shiv you. Oh. For sure. Wow. You'll wake up with a pain in your stomach in bed and look up and when your steak knives is in your guts. Courtesy of Johnny Five, your robot. I never took it that far. Well, I think of all these things at night right before I go to bed. And my favorite thing to do is ask my husband about them after he's drifted off to sleep. This is how my mind works. Nighttime day and I'll be like, what if?
Starting point is 01:21:51 What if we get the robot, but we have it? We make it like 0.5 times the size instead of like one whole point. What do that do? Can it still reach things on shelves? Like I could, and if you're worried about, you could make it lightweight, you could hold it up and it could reach it for you. Oh, I see. Yeah. See, you don't need something that's big.
Starting point is 01:22:10 bigger than you that can murder you, you just lift up Tricky Woo Boo Boop and Tricky Woo will get it for you and then put it back down on the ground. Like emergency shutoffs for these things, right? Like just something. That doesn't work. You don't think so? When has that ever worked? Like if it's about to plunge?
Starting point is 01:22:24 I read a story over the weekend about a robot vacuum cleaner that got a woman's hair in it and like ripped her hair out. Oh my God. Yeah. It like vac-I don't know what she was doing with her head on the ground, but it like vacuumed up her hair and her head and she was like dying, maybe not dying. but I would have been out of embarrassment getting my ass kicked by a floor vacuum
Starting point is 01:22:44 cleaner robot. But I don't know. This is this is the stuff that keeps me up at night. I'll be going to bed. I got my covers and I'm going to bed. I'm getting ready to drift off and I'm like, what if we get a robot and it killed us?
Starting point is 01:23:12 That's, you know, because everybody has Alexis. Right, that's what I was just about to say. I don't even get an Echo Dot, an Alexa, a Hey Google, whatever the hell it is. I don't get any of those things. I'm curious as to how many in the listening audience have like Alexis and stuff. I don't have that because I don't want the government to, oh, and by the way, Kathleen in the Rumble chat is reminding everyone about Chucky. Chucky was little.
Starting point is 01:23:35 He was eatable. But he was also a demon. So, like, I don't want, Tricky Wu wouldn't be a demon. It would just, you know, be a bot. But to your point, though, Kane, with Alexa and that, I don't understand the people who feel like they can accomplish more in a day just because they can go, Alexa, add, you know, something, whatever. Alexa, put nuts on the list. Alexa, add eggs to my list. I wonder how many people's Alexis I'm setting off right now, by the way.
Starting point is 01:24:03 I was just going to say, stop doing that. Alexa. Okay. Stop, Alexa, stop. Alexa, play two live crew. Oh, gosh. Oh, gosh. You see, I don't need that in my life. Someone out there is losing it. I don't need that in my life. I don't need the list. I don't need my refrigerator to tweet. I don't need anything, you know, I just don't. we are an indulgent society that creates problems for ourselves and we are literally creating an army of things to come and kill us because we are so indulgent we're like a we're like empires we're
Starting point is 01:24:45 like a rotting empire like how rome as everything was falling apart well at least they had the coliseum they had bread and circuses you know at least they had that and we're we're like killing ourselves and then we're making giant robots and and we're going to act shock when they turn it on us. I mean, literally, this is how SkyNet comes about. I'm just saying, you know, we could, we, you know what we need? Universal translators that you can just like an earpiece you can wear and it works with your phone. You don't need a robot that can like make drinks. I wouldn't want a robot that makes drinks. That's, I, why? I don't, I don't need it to do tasks like that. You know, we need like a universal translator or, like, something that makes people like good music and not listen to
Starting point is 01:25:31 bad music. I don't know. I'm just like, I'm just like, I don't know. I'm out of ideas. But the thing creeps me out. But anyway, my whole point, I brought this up because Elon Musk is like, you know, I mean, he's like a modern day hero. He's Tony Stark. And, and Democrats hate him. They absolutely hate him. They don't have anybody on the right that has accomplished this, that has done what he's done. He was asking, well, if Kamala wins, how long's my jail sentence going to be? I mean, I know people are like, but it's true, though, right? It's true. right it's true goodness I don't know
Starting point is 01:26:04 I just I don't want that big giant robot is everybody gonna have bots all my friends have Alexa and then what is it the what is the other Alexa that's not Alexa whatever they all have this stuff and and and they all talk about it like in everyday conversation it's like oh yeah and I said you know Alexa I'm like you what what
Starting point is 01:26:22 you said what to what I don't have any of this I almost feel like I'm like little house on the prairie when they talk about it I feel like I'm gonna go home and, you know, go to the crick and get my own water because I don't have Alexa. It's just weird, right? You feel like that? Yeah. Makes me feel like a pioneer.
Starting point is 01:26:39 But then I remember I have an iPhone. Yeah, then I remember I'm not giving the feds a whole bunch of evidence on me. Not that I'm doing anything bad in the first place, but, you know. Anyway, we got a lot more on the way. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. So, first up, this air pollution is leading to a fall in IVF pregnancy rates according to one
Starting point is 01:27:07 this is a study that they did this is a J.C Atlanta Journal Constitution they did it in Atlanta Australia and Europe and they're saying that it's pollution's negative impact on fertility treatment I don't that seems like a stretch but that's what they're reporting I don't know right here I don't know if I put um high ceilings and buildings are linked to poorer exam results for students. Of all the things, it's the University of South Australia and Deakin University.
Starting point is 01:27:37 They suggest that big and open rooms with high ceilings make it hard for students to focus on what is in front of them. They did a previous study on this, the same researchers, where they were looking at brain mapping and technology and virtual reality, and they found a relationship between cognitive ability
Starting point is 01:27:54 and the perceived size of somebody's surroundings, and so they were looking at exams. They looked at over 15,000. and 400 students. They're me, I don't know, maybe, depending on the light or the acoustics of the room, I mean, maybe. But I also think that a lot of this is just self-discipline. And if you're doing poorly on an exam, because you have high ceilings, then you have zero discipline.
Starting point is 01:28:14 And you, you have bigger issues, honestly. A woman tried to smuggle 29 turtles into Canada by crossing a Vermont Lake. She was trying to get around this. Didn't happen. Associated Press says that she pled guilty to trying to, uh, trying to, uh, by course. to smuggle 29 different of these little turtles in. Her name is 41 year old
Starting point is 01:28:36 Waini Nieg. She was arrested at an Airbnb and she was trying to get into a inflatable kayak with a duffel bag. Border Patrol caught her because it's not like, you know, somebody trying to cross the lake into the border on it with the giant duffel bags. They found 29 live eastern box turtles wrapped
Starting point is 01:28:52 in socks. They sell them on the Chinese black market for $1,000 each. That's crazy. I'm glad that they got them because, goodness. We have Stephen Yates, who's going to be joining us coming up. Stick with us. The Dana Show podcast. You're fast, funny, and informative news companion for those always on the move. Subscribe on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash here with you at the bottom of this third hour.
Starting point is 01:29:20 And I'm talking about a number of different issues. The election, the, of course, the Elon Musk being really a hero and everybody hating him because he's not a leftist. But then also one of the things that was happening over the weekend, well, actually, just wrapped up Chinese war games near to as a, they're testing. They were just doing their routine drills and things like that, right? That's all. And these drills that they were doing, which entirely were surrounding Taiwan, which is exactly what you would do if you're a bully. You know, like, I'm going to flex. I'm not touching you. I'm not touching you.
Starting point is 01:29:53 But look at me doing this. Well, they've concluded those. I was looking at this piece from the BBC because China was like, well, it's a punishment for Taiwan for like existing, you know, just separate of us. I don't know what there, the new administration, whoever it will be, is going to have a handful. Not just with what's happening in the Middle East, but what what's building and continuing to build here. This is something we always talk about because I think China is the biggest geopolitical foe we have, even though Kamala Harris said it was Iran. Joining us now, our good friend, Stephen Yates, who is an expert on all of
Starting point is 01:30:27 these issues, having previously served in not one but two different presidential administrations, both the Trump administration and the Bush administration. He is a, he's with the Heritage Foundation, and he joins us now via Skype. And you can also follow him at Yatescoms on X, senior research fellow with the Heritage Foundation. Stephen, good to see you. Harris said last week, Iran was the biggest threat, not China. Well, it obviously is a threat, given what it's been doing to Israel, and that does affect American interests and an alliance that should matter a lot to us. But you and I have talked for well over a decade about the challenges that communist China presents and that it hits more fundamentally at more parts of America's way of life than any other
Starting point is 01:31:10 challenge that comes from outside of our shores. And in recent years, it should not be forgotten that it affected every family with COVID and has affected hundreds of thousands of families with fatal fentanyl. that is much more than the Iranians or Russians have ever even tried on American soil. Not to say they're good. It's just that it should be indisputable that the Chinese Communist Party is worse. Yeah, very much so. And I mean, look, we don't disagree with any characterization of Iran as being dangerous.
Starting point is 01:31:42 But in terms of scope and what they're able to do, I mean, China, as you said, has already inflicted so much more damage. And they've got their tentacles in everything. This was a weird story, and I wanted to ask you about this. Because one of the things that we've talked about before have been, it's been, you know, trying to try to increase its presence, whether it's in South America or even the Caribbean. And you and I were actually talking about sidebar.
Starting point is 01:32:05 I'm going to get to the point of this story. But I got to tell you this, though, Stephen, you're going to appreciate this. You're the only person who would appreciate this story. So when we were on summer vacation, we had to layover in Nassau. And it happened to be literally the day that Trump, that he was shot in the head.
Starting point is 01:32:22 It was the day he was shot. I land. My phone's going crazy. We had flight cancellations and all this stuff happening. And the airline wanted to put us in this hotel that I thought sounded familiar. And it was from a conversation that you and I had months prior where you were explaining how one of the biggest pieces of property, if not the biggest, in the Bahamas, is the CCP's embassy. And as it turned out, the hotel that the airlines was going to put us in to keep us overnight was a. was a hotel that was owned by the CCP.
Starting point is 01:32:54 How convenient. In NASA. And you know me, I had all canes tinfoil with me. And I'm going, you know, the day that Trump shot and they're going to put us into CCP hotel, this is not happening. We didn't stay there, obviously. But I thought you would appreciate that. And I was, it was something like the British Colonial or something colonial hotel in
Starting point is 01:33:13 NASA and it's owned by the CCP. And I'm immediately like, you know, I wanted to tell everybody who was getting, who was getting referred there, don't stay. In fact, I did tell like three people. That's a Marxist. So that's a Kami's hotel. Who knows? I mean, I wouldn't have trusted it.
Starting point is 01:33:28 I have another story, but I had to share there with you because I have not told you that yet. Well, I just wish you would have run around shouting Taiwan Independence the whole time you were in the halls there. So it just overloaded their sound system with freakouts. I should have. I should have gone ahead and made it. They'd have probably like throw me into some like jail cell bunker down there. Let someone test the soup first. Right?
Starting point is 01:33:48 I know. I was like, I'm not going to say. That's crazy. Now, another country in the Caribbean Barbados. So they've kind of had sort of a falling out with Britain in terms of the Commonwealth and they got rid of the queen and all that stuff. But they're now cozying up to the Chinese. So they get rid of their relationship with Britain.
Starting point is 01:34:08 And now they've demanded all these reparations like, you know, trillions of dollars reparations. Now they're really cozying up with China. And I just thought it was interesting that they had, you know, a peaceful relationship. they had great trade, they had protection from Britain. Now they're rejecting everything. And they're now very close to the CCP, who now has a bigger footprint in the Caribbean because of this. Yeah, well, it is something that's been an encroachment in our near abroad, influence in our hemisphere. It's gone on for some time, but it's really amped up.
Starting point is 01:34:40 And the part that grosses me out the most is not that the Chinese would try to do this. I expect competitors and worse to take advantage where it's left to them. But they're using our own money to do it. It's Americans who have had unfavorable and silly economic relations with the Chinese Communist Party that's flooded them with money that they now use to buy influence against us in our own near abroad. So it's clearly a trend that we could stop if we were smart, but we haven't been very smart for a very, very long time. And it's going to take a bit to change. Now for the people that are buying what the CCP is selling, hopefully they're doing a little bit of research,
Starting point is 01:35:18 even Wall Street people who used to be very bullish about things China, heavily invested, all of that. They've been pulling back hedging at the very least, in some cases, much, much more. And so these new entrants into this thinking they're getting a sweet deal, they might want to talk to a few Chinese people in China because not every shiny object is what it appears there. And the Chinese people know more than anyone else. Yeah, they absolutely do. Talking with our friend Stephen Yates at Yates Com's on X. I know everybody's kind of holding their breath for November. What is China looking for in November?
Starting point is 01:35:53 I mean, I would imagine that they have plan A and plan B, depending on what administration is elected. What are you forecasting for November in terms of China's reaction? Well, I know some of the people who are part of the senior levels of national security and foreign policy in the Biden administration because they've been around Biden for a long time, And they were in the Obama administration under Secretary Clinton and Secretary Kerry. So these are, as Don Rumsfeld might call, no knowns. But Harris doesn't have a loyal entourage.
Starting point is 01:36:27 And so it's very, very unclear whether some of these people would do the same. But a lot of them have said that they're heading for the exits. And part of this is the legit. You get tired of four years working these kinds of jobs. I served for five years in a White House and I felt like I lost 20 years of my life. doing it. So there's some part of it that you can understand, but you also kind of get the sense, A, these folks don't think she's going to win, and they're going to cash out now. And B, there's going to be a changeover, and we're not going to know who some of these folks are, but some kind of
Starting point is 01:37:01 system is going to continue the soft approach to all of our challenges, prioritizing climate change and imposing peace deals on our allies who get attacked by bad guys. And so more of the same in a way. And if Trump comes back, I expect he is going to come back. There's going to be, I think, a revival of deterrence. But there'll be some forms of engagement to try to sue for peace in different areas. It's not going to be easy to understand or perfect by any means. But I think it will be more unpredictable for our adversaries.
Starting point is 01:37:40 And for smart allies, it'll be much more predictable. So I think that we need this election to go in the direction of going back to where things were pre-COVID and picking up where that left off. And with Harris, nobody really knows what we're going to get out of her other than more of the same. It's not going to be the very pro-CCP vice presidential nominee charting a new course. And maybe if she sits down with Brett Bear this week and all of a sudden answers questions, which would be borderline unprecedented for the last four years, we're not going to get to know. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:38:17 I would imagine, too, that some of the individuals that have been working on behalf of the United States against, you know, the expanding CCP interest would be weirded out by someone like Tim Walz with his connections to the Communist Chinese Party. I don't think that he is a willful plan. I think he's a moron who was exploited and used, and they thought they could impress, you know, good manners on him and show him how nice they are and he bought into it hook, Langen, and Sinker because he's a moron, and, you know, he became a useful idiot for them. I think that's maybe the extent of it, although, I don't know, he seems a lot more insidious, though, than, you know, at first
Starting point is 01:38:57 look. What are your thoughts on that? Well, I mean, we've had quite the debate as a country about a new definition of masculinity and some notion of toxic masculinity. What I can say is whatever anyone's view is on that subject, I can promise you that the bad guys around the world are not deterred by jazz hands and a guy who can't reload a shotgun. So we have got to have some good old-fashioned John Wayne back in the saddle if we're going to write this ship. People need to fear what the United States must do to them if they're an adversary,
Starting point is 01:39:32 and they must trust the United States will be the backup when necessary. They have lost that over the last four years, and badly need that back if we don't want more of these problems on our own shores. No, I completely agree with that. Stephen Yates at Yates-Combs is where you can find him on X and also at the Heritage Foundation as well. Always a pleasure, my friend. Good to see you. Thank you so much for your time.
Starting point is 01:39:56 On the go and need a quick news fix with a fun twist. Follow Dana's absurd truth podcast for bite-size and formative episodes. Perfect for your busy schedule on Apple or wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash here with you. Harris is trying to say that Trump is the one that's not going out and engaging with voters. Audio sum by 13. This is so goofy. Like this is, I know what they're doing.
Starting point is 01:40:21 They're trying to like, well, we're going to say what they've been saying about us and we're going to accuse them of it. That's not, that's not how this works. Listen. He is unwilling to do a 60 Minutes interview. Major party candidate has done for more than half a century. He is unwilling to meet for a second debate. Here's the thing. Here's the thing.
Starting point is 01:40:54 It makes you wonder. It makes you wonder. Why does his staff want him to hide away? She is hurting. She's begging for a debate. Yeah, he's like, he doesn't need the debate. You do. He doesn't need it.
Starting point is 01:41:13 You need it. Oh. So, see, I'm telling you, the internals that were released and some of this other stuff, she ain't doing so good. This is not going to, not going to help. I mean, first off, Trump is very competitive with black men. He's competitive with, what is it, the value to 18 to 54 demo. He's, in fact, very competitive. The trend line was 18 to 44.
Starting point is 01:41:45 from Obama to Harris. Obama was plus 81. Hillary was only plus 63. Biden was plus 53. Harris is only plus 41. Democrats have lost 40 points since 2012. And it's not just a problem with Harris. It's a problem with Democrats. There's a trend of black voters leaving Democrats. Hispanic voters leaving Democrats. And she has always been a weak. candidate for her base. She was, this is, I mean, the same thing that we saw with her in 2020. I don't know why people think that that's going to change, why that would have changed, but it's, it hasn't.
Starting point is 01:42:32 She is just, they're not doing well, and that's why she needs this debate. She needs the debate. They don't, well, she says this, I'll just somebody 11th. This is how she brushes it off. This is how she brushes this off. listen. They've already started with the misinformation in the lies. We know that there is foreign interference, and I have to say to everybody listening to this, don't let them take your voice.
Starting point is 01:43:01 Because I was part of the Senate Intelligence Committee when we investigated Russia's interference in the 2016 election. Black folks were targeted with misinformation. Oh, my gosh. This is so lame. Yeah, she targeted Blackwood. So, so lame. So she's, she's, I don't know, this is her, this is desperation by her. It is, it's, it is desperation by her. She needs a debate so bad.
Starting point is 01:43:30 And I actually, Trump doesn't need it at this point. Especially, the worst thing he could do is, is have another debate performance like he had with her the first time. The only reason that she is competitive is because she was able to successfully bait him. last debate. That's the only reason I think she's still competitive now. She cannot, but she has to have another debate that one is not enough to put her over. It's just not. I don't know. The, it's not looking good for her. And particularly in battleground states and the fact that they're having to like now double back and try to bring Pennsylvania in, it just, it looks like really, really bad strategy on their part. They really messed up. They added somebody onto that ticket that was a
Starting point is 01:44:17 drag. And now they're paying the cost for it. They're paying for it now. Wals was a drag. And they can try to rehabilitate him. They can try to act like he's a coach, which he wasn't. They can try to act like all this stuff like he's, you know, he's the, he's the goofy dad. They can do all this. They can try to act like he's a gun guy. He's not. None of it's working. because he hasn't, they haven't put him through charm school. He's just not ready for prime time. Today's stupidity cane. What's we got?
Starting point is 01:44:49 Boy, did I have a surplus to choose from. And several of them are from Kamla, so we're going to focus on her. So this was over the weekend that she was doing another recorded interview. And this, after editing, is what they put out there. Listen to this. Cut nine. Because what we see is so hard to see.
Starting point is 01:45:11 that we lose faith or a vision of those things we cannot see but must know. What? What? Let's play that one more time, one, just because I've got to hear that. Because what we see is so hard to see that we lose faith or a vision of those things we cannot see but must know. Oh, man. What? Context wouldn't even fix that.
Starting point is 01:45:34 So weird. And that's just one example over the weekend. You simply just go online and see the rest. You know how terrified she was in that last debate. The fact that she's begging for another one shows you how much she is hurting. I'll have some of that for you if you sign up over at Substack, Chapter and Verse. I've got a compilation of stuff, surveys, polling that you want to read. Make sure I'll be on Fox tonight, Laura Ingram's show.
Starting point is 01:45:55 Have a great night. Back with you tomorrow.
